OBAMA & FONDA

Never Forgive A Traitor
    For those of you too young to remember Hanoi Jane is a bad person and did some terrible things during the Vietnam war.  Things that can not be forgiven!!!!
. ..

     and now OBAMA wants to honor her......!!!!

   
In Memory of LT. C.Thomsen Wieland  who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton

IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED
 ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!

She really is a traitor.

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA


This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear..

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the '100 Women of the Century.'

BY BARBRA WALTERS WRITES:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

In 1968, the former Commandant of the  USAF   Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the ' Hanoi Hilton.'

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane treatment' he'd received.


He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away.  During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
on to the camp Commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the 'Hanoi Hilton',,, the first three of which his family only knew he was 'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.  His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a 'peace delegation' visit.

They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it , in the palm of his hand.

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?' Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.

She took them all without missing a beat.. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper..

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam , and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam   in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot , South Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs)

We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals....'

When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her..

I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as 'humane and lenient.'

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weights placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of '100 Years of Great Women.' Lest we forget....' 100 Years of Great Women' should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can.. It will eventually end up on her computer and
she needs to know that we will never forget. RONALD D. SAMPSON, CMSgt, USAF 716 Maintenance Squadron, Chief of Maintenance DSN: 875-6431 COMM: 883-6343

PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE THIS MAYBE HER
 STATUS WILL CHANGE

Every man's dream

Frank Ota

He wants to place the MIA flag in front of the Main Gate at Lake Ashton.  Why don't we add all the states flags also on the flag pole.  Why not the KKK flag.  He did have Rogers at his LAVA meeting.  Why don't we hang a picture of him along  with Bingo Paul and Joe Ferreria.  They would look good waving in the wind.

Obama admits birth place

 
 
 
Obama admits birth place

 Obama admits not being born in   Hawaii .
Can one doubt his own admission? Where is Sixty Minutes?
Who would believe Obama is actually on this video  admitting he was not born in   Hawaii but was born in   Kenya and is not even a citizen.  Obviously he made these statements because he did not know at that time that a president must be a "natural born" citizen.  OOOPS!
 
Circulate this before they yank it from the internet.
Will some one tell me why this guy is not being impeached??
 
 If you just watch the first 30 seconds your mouth will drop open.
 Obama admits he is not a citizen
Hmmm...maybe the "birthers' are on to something....
THE AMAZING PART OF THIS TRAVESTY IS AMERICANS CONTINUE ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE RULED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN.

Watch it before it is pulled!
 
 
His first speach is apparently just after his election to the US senate.

Bowling Alley

The Bowling Alley will be completed in May for Bowling.  Some of the pins will be named Paul, Jack, Joe  and Frank.

Bingo Paul Pontious

This message is to all the dumb brainless residents who have done nothing, did nothing and will do nothing but hide their true identify and complain to me about this thief Bingo Paul Pontious and all his associates, Joe Ferrira, Frank Ota are the greatest thing that ever happen here at Lake Ashton.  They stole the game of Bingo from Jesse Areirs who gave all the money back to the Bingo Players, never kept a cent.  What did Pontious do, kept the money.

KKK AND JACK VAN SICKLE

Jack had a very small group at the HFC Clubhouse, approx 10 to 15 people.  We had well over 100 plus and has I was leaving they were still coming in.  We had a great group of honest people.  We had a truck load of food, enough to feed a army.  Jack had little or none.  I guess there on a tight budget or too cheap to buy some.  They are all big and fat.  They really don't need much.  By By

Tricia Adams and Joe Hunter

Yes Tricia, you are nothing but a lair and a dishonest person.  Sick Van sickle did not have to pay anything to use the HFC for his re-election bid. Why couldn't you  allow Betty Wojcik to use the club house?  She owns a home here.   No, you are a lover to Bingo Paul Pontious,  Klan Frank Ota and big month Joe Ferreira who keeps calling me a idiot in front of my house along with Bingo Paul. Why did you allow Paul to write a FULL page article in the LA Times when we can't even get to write a small sentence.  Yes, I would like to see you fired along with Joe Hunter.  Are you both going to other communities doing your work with our money?  YES,  Both of you are nothing but shame to this community.  You walked off your job once, would like to see you walk off again. 
YOU HAVE TWO POLICIES, YOU AND JUNE YOUNG, ONE FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND THE OTHER FOR YOUR ENEMIES.

THERE'S BEEN A  GREAT DEAL OF TALK SINCE SICK VAN SICKLE LOST THE ELECTION THAT HE IS GOING TO FIRED HIS RE-ELECTION  MANAGER.

FRANK OTA, HOA BOARD MEMBER

IS THEIR SOMETHING WRONG WITH FRANK OTA?  ON TUESDAY, HE WALKED INTO THE CARD ROOM AND TOLD THE LADIES THEY WON BY A LANDSLIDE, AFTER I CALL MY MATE AND TOLD HER THAT BETTY AND MIKE  WON BY A LANDSLIDE.  NOW MY WORDS WERE IN QUESTION.  ONE OF THE CARD PLAYERS CALLED HER HUSBAND AND FOUND OUT THAT FRANK OTA,  HOA MEMBER WAS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.  HE SHOULD HAVE SAID SICKLE AND ROGERS LOST BY A LANDSLIDE.  CAN'T BELIEVE HIM ANYMORE AFTER HE HAD INVITED THE KKK GRAND DRAGON JOHN PAUL ROGERS AT HIS LAVA MEETING TO MAKE A SPEECH.  THIS IS SICK!

KKK, JACK VAN SICKLE AND BINGO PAUL

95,999, hits are from Bingo Paul and Joe Ferreira.  But what I want to know, HOW MUCH MONEY DID THEY  PUT IN THEIR POCKETS FROM BINGO, 50/50 AND THE CONCESSION STAND.  WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY HE PLACED IN THE FIVE  BANK ACCOUNTS!  THEY KEPT NO RECORDS!  IF THIS ISN'T DISHONEST, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS.  HOW MUCH OF THIS MONEY DID SICK VAN SICKLE USE FOR HIS RE-ELECTION?  LOTS OF QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED.  COME CLEAN PAUL AND STOP SENDING WIFE'S LETTERS TELLING THEM TO LEAVE THEIR MATES.  NOT ONLY ARE THEY SICK BUT THEY ARE DISHONEST.

Will Smiling Jack fire his Campaign Manager ? My guess is he will!  Or he will call the police and have her arrested because he lost.  He's darn good at calling the police.

Yes, he has done it again, yes he called the police.  That's all he can do and he has done it again.  They act just like babies.   Chubby 50/50 Joe Ferreira was in the mess with Sick Van Sickle and his wife Brenda.  She was crying her head off and she is on the CDD.  What a cry baby and a sore loser. All we  wanted to do is thank them for losing.  I guess they can't take a joke.

Loses

I guess Rogers and Sickle won't be burning any more crosses anytime soon.  Two dummies act alike look alike and talk alike.  Every time they open their mouth, a bad odor flows out.


How was your party at the Pontious.  Did you have to pay for your Pot Luck meal $2.00?

We won by a two to one margin

Wojcik wants a chance to serve





By KATHY LEIGH BERKOWITZ
Managing Editor
Published:
Monday, March 28, 2011 11:14 AM EDT
Those who know Betty Wojcik know she is a woman who is not content to simply sit and watch her community develop without her touch.

According to Jon Fey, Wojcik’s former colleague and president of Berwyn Development Corporation in Berwyn, Illinois, she is a “very dynamic and very professional woman, and quite a leader.”
Fey said he wasn’t a bit surprised to hear that Wojcik has stayed active in community affairs.
Wojcik is running for City Commission seat 4 against incumbent Jack Van Sickle, who is the city’s current mayor.

She was one of the original directors in Berwyn Development.
Berwyn was a 501C3 organization that was tasked with the job of overseeing tax incremental projects.
Back in 2004, Fey and Wojcik worked closely together to create new development in the community that sported a rough population of some 50,000 people in a 2 mile by 2 mile plot of land.
The town faced many things akin to what Lake Wales is facing today.
He said there was a lot of commercial property built in the 1920s and 1930s that was under utilized and needed redevelopment.
The corporation sought to engage new businesses to set up house, while also nurturing the businesses already present in the community.


This was Wojcik’s forte, he noted. “She’s very experienced, she’s very knowledgeable, she’s savvy,” he said.
Fey said Wojcik new “how to keep and how to attract” businesses.
“Point in fact, after Betty left, Berwyn had four or five car dealers who all left,” he said.
“She put a lot of energy into making sure we kept business in the community,” he said, noting she was quite skilled at “taking unnecessary roadblocks out of setting up business in the community.”
Fey considers Wojcik’s greatest strengths her “leadership, her ability to show people the way to recognize what we want to do and move forward,” adding she “keeps the focus and energy” going. “She was constantly pushing to make things happen, he said, noting city officials didn’t necessarily embrace her because she was so persistent with “getting things done.”
But Wojcik had one rock in the road, Fey noted; rather, it was a rock that Berywn faced collectively.
The organization managed projects for the city and would make recommendations to the city as to whether to approve or deny a project.
Very strict guidelines that were state mandates were followed, he noted.
There was a Dodge dealership in Berwyn who wanted to update their store fascade and modernize their lobby and storeroom.
Fey said the scope of the project went beyond Berwyn’s established guidelines, and Berywn advised the city they did not feel comfortable working on the project.
The city overruled their decision, and immediately appointed Berywn as the project manager.
Fey said the only other option would have been for Berwyn to no longer serve the city’s interests.
“I imagine in hindsight we could have said I quit,” he said.
But they didn’t quit, and Wojcik signed off, he said, on the projects.
The dealership was to receive tax incremental funds to pay for the fascade.
Involved in the funding was a grant, and a loan, some of which was not repaid, he noted.
In the end, Fey noted her name was involved with the dispute when the dealership went bankrupt.
Another coworker, Ken Cechura, co-owner of Berwyn Ace Hardware, noted Wojcik’s work with Berwyn built up “confidence” between the city officials and Berwyn.
Berwyn was responsible for administering the Tax Increment Funding program and have since branched out to become a more active Chamber of Commerce.
Now they promote business to business activities, offer training programs to the business community.
Cechura said at the time Wojcik came to Berwyn, she was running the office as a “one person office,” a Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development.
Wojcik actually worked for the corporation twice, from 1988 to 1994 and again from 2000 to 2005.
She left for a more lucrative job opportunity, and when that opportunity ceased, came back to Berwyn.
“When we found out that she was available, we were thrilled to get her back,” Cechura said.
“It was my good fortune.” And Wojcik is all about good fortune.
She’s also about community and letting people have input in the community in which they live.
“I have some very real beliefs,” she said.
“Very strong beliefs that commissioners should represent the community, they should represent those who elect them to that position.
“I think a representative, especially at the lowest level of government, should listen to what the residents have to say, and should take what they have to say in account as they are making decisions.”
She says there is a wealth of information in the people who live in the community.
They are, she notes, “people who we can go to and ask opinions and get involved, and it can really benefit Lake Wales. And I’m not one of those who thinks that when you get elected and it’s up to me to make all the decisions, it is not.
I also think that we really need to show the citizens that this is a position that the normal citizens, that people who care about what happens in their community should get involved and should maybe if they want to start out on one of the committees, or boards, or commissions of the city and decide to run, that they could run and should make themselves available for those positions.”
As for whether the Community Redevelopment Agency is spending the money wisely and whether it is working as it should, Wojcik said she believes the CRA spending in Lake Wales is within the law.
But she adds that the Lake Wales CRA is an area “so huge” that one has to be careful how to spend the money. “The CRA is designed to improve the community. It’s designed to be spent,” she said.
“That money should be spent in such a way to encourage business development. And if you can make the case that the money needs to go for new water lines, hook up to business property.
Wojcik notes CRA funds should be spent to increase property values, to attract business and improve the economic vitality of Lake Wales.
She supports assisting Main Street.
“Main Street is there to help improve the downtown and make that an area that can draw business in, bring people downtown to spend money,” she said.
She notes it would be a mistake to take the $900,000 set aside for improvements to landscaping and so forth around the Grand Hotel and use it for funding the C Street sewer project.
Wojcik said the city would be better served to fund the sewer project through a low interest loan. “All debt is not bad, especially that debt which is tied to long term capital improvements,” she said.
Wojcik looks forward to the opportunity to serve the community as commissioner and believes her experience in community development is an asset.
She has served the last several years as the executive director of the Lake Wales Area Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to working at Berwyn the second time as principal planning consultant and executive director, she was the president of the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and Industry in La Grange, Illinois. Before that, she was the executive director over the Worth County-Sylvester Chamber of Commerce, Inc. and the Worth County Industrial Development Authority in Sylvester, Ga. From 1983-1987, she served as the executive director of the Dahlonega-Lumpkin County Chamber of Commerce, Inc. and the Lumpkin County Industrial Development Authority, Dahlonega, Ga.
She has a bachelor’s degree in economic development management from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois and is a Certified Economic Developer through the International Economic Development Council in Washington, D.C. and holds certifications in economic development finance a

OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
    By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool.    He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant.     He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
 
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled. Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one,  Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbi University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.
 
Add up the clues below.    Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.
 
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
 
Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
 
Cap and trade.    Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
 
Make Puerto Rico a state.  Why?  Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants
. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security .
 
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
 
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
 
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators.     Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.   With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.
 
Add it up and you've got
the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan .
