100% American! Un-hyphenated, unapologetic, and proud as hell! Having been born in the 70's and in the south, I've never known a segregated society. I attended racially diverse public schools and college. I served in the military. The NAACP and ethnic caucuses make absolutely no sense to me. I don't look upon our nation in terms of color. I see it in terms of being American ... you either are, or you need to leave.

Our family were raised to respect all persons that did not try to harm us. Racial pressures did not exist for us when we followed this rule.
Racism is used as a weapon by one group of individuals against another.
For instance, China used to gain a better position against Russia in the 20th century. Perhaps the Progressive camp is using racism against the majority of Americans to gain political position today.

Daniel Diaz I wrote at 10:29 AM on Jul-14-2010:
Lou. The problem that most upsets me about this government, (both Parties), is that they seem mired back in the Post World War II mentality. They seem to have forgotten or do not even comprehend that this is the 21st Century. Thus, they think backwards not forwards. In short, history always repeats itself and that always seems to have dire consequences for the average citizen. Wars should be fought only when they have to be, not for profit or vanity. Our borders are not just invisible lines on some map-they define what are nation is in legal terms as well as ideological terms. In short, the way our economy is falling apart like a poorly baked muffin is due to loss of connection with the realities that all poorly conceived actions are all interlinked. Immigration affects not only the legal issues of being here against our laws, it also affects every financial aspect of our national and state budgets. Jobs are affected, morale, even our belief that we are still a United States.
To summarize: If you spend one dollar on one illegal then it adds up to millions, billions, and eventually we are talking about no jobs, no room in classrooms, and no Social Security for those who put into the account. That is why I am opposed not only to Amnesty but the very idea that an Illegal Entrant is the same as an Immigrant. That is why in my last post on your site I said without pause that we are already in a state of "Civil War" with our government. They are attacking the very fiber of our inception with Liberal and Right Wing ideals that most of us do not want.
We do not want 40 million Illegal Entrants here. That includes the offspring of those who are here illegally by the way. We do not want to keep paying for them. And we do not want everything we buy to say "Made in China" built with hands in some sweat shop south of our borders. In short, We are tired not only of Obama, (President though he may be), and Pelosi and Reid, but also of all of Congress for failing to uphold not only their oaths of office, but our laws. To give safe harbor to any criminal is a punishable offense for you and I. But the US Government, by even considering action against a state or any citizen for wanting to protect our Sovereignty is criminal as well. I say to Hell with Tyrants! I say Do Not Tread On Me! I say, this nation needs to collectively wake up and smell the manure before we are all lulled into the dreamland that is US Politics. It is time, Lou, like you say, to be Independent again and to be heard. We as citizens cannot let one state be attacked by our own government simply because said government does not have the intestinal fortitude to do their job(s). Thus, we need to not only vote them out, we need to kick them out of D.C. and put real leaders there. Not just mouthpieces or popularity contest winners-Leaders.
There is not time for Race to come into play in this 21st Century. Illegal Immigration laws passed are not about race, creed, or color, but about law. The NAACP, The Civil Liberties Union, (they don't deserve the American part of the American part of the Acronym), and other bodies need to stay out of government and stick to doing what they do best-serving the law-breaking interests they always serve. Other than that, what really do these organizations do for the average citizen?
In closing Lou, I know you are a strong voice in the war against our rights, but that war now needs to be carried to the "front" of our battle. That is right to the step of Congress and the White House. Not with guns or insurrection in mind, but solidarity for the greater good of the United States. It is not enough to simply voice our views here and elsewhere, but again, the time has come for all good men to stand or die for what is right. That is a United States of the People, By the People, and always for the People. Not the other way around. No more Tyrants! No more divisive political scheming. This is either all of us losing, or them winning again. This may sound like a rant Lou, but this is what I hear every day from Veterans, the unemployed, the outsourced and the oppressed-here, in my state, not some far away battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan. Americans want their nation back, their industries, and their pride. We love our flag, but that love sometimes means ridding ourselves of those selfish leaders who think we serve them and not them serving us. Tea Parties are great. But better still would be seeing the US Congress collectively trembling in their overpriced suits and shoes at the sound of millions of Americans marching up to the US Capitol asking for their resignations. Like you post on your Header "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; When the government fears the people, there is liberty." I believe that is what Jefferson, Washington and Adams and so on believed as well... Thumbs up from Southern Ca. Lou. Keep up ducking.

Lou. It is shame when a nation is already in a Civil War and nobody sees the writing on the wall. The Justice Department wants to punish Arizona for defending itself against ruthless and illegal invasion. President Obama is clearly in favor of Illegal Invasion if he allows one state to be targeted by the Federal Government for choosing to stand tall in the face of overt invasion. I hope that many other states will follow suit and pass similar laws that clearly show the American people are tired of excuses and inaction on the part of the US Government where Illegal Invasion is allowed and millions of criminals are allowed to flourish on our soil with financial and now legal aide from the government. Arizona is hailed as a monument in Hawaii. A permanent reminder of what happens when we let our collective guard down. So, the state of Arizona should be equally revered for their stance and not punished. I say to Hell with excuses Lou. It is time to deport not give Amnesty to those persons who keep coming here to deplete our resources, steal jobs and property and turn cities into Third World nations of their own likeness. I wonder how long it will be before we are all required to learn Spanish and Chinese before it is too late to fight back.

I am damn proud to be a Veteran, an American, (by generations) and a citizen of these United States. Having said that, however, I am damned ashamed of some of my fellow Americans who continually put incompetent and inept persons in Congress and the White House to lead this nation. It was formed with sacrifice and the blood of Patriots. Now it seems our nation is for sale to the lowest bidders. Our borders are not at all secure; our economy is teetering on the brink; and having said that, I see no Leadership from our government. With two failed wars and even more failed policies I see the ideals of our Founding Fathers leaking away into obscurity and I feel the ebb and flow of Socialism creeping into our way of life. A lot has to change soon or we will vanish from the face of the Earth as a nation. The time is now Lou. People need to stop talking about liberty and freedom and act upon the words, "Do Not Tread On Me." It is in this alone that these United States can remove those who do not have the right to be here, fix our economy, and thus, restore ourselves to a place of greatness, not division and politics.
Thus, I say we oust anyone who is in office who does not have the will nor the conviction to stand behind our Constitution without reservations or fear. The people who really care are the ones who are not being heard and thus this nation is sinking instead of rising to the top of the 21st Century as a leader and as an example of why we became a nation and henceforth celebrate on the 4th of July in the first place. We can only be sovereign and secure when our leaders remember what it takes to be United, not only in words but in deeds. These are trying times, but no more so than in the days of our inception or the Civil War or any other time in which our mettle was tested. Now is the hour to stand against tyranny and not whither simply out of fear or self-preservationist ideals. If it is not worth dying for it is not worth flying the flag. What else do people think the stripes are for? Enough though, words mean nothing unless others are willing to act as well. Are you ready Lou? Is America ready? We shall see...

Kagen has already ruled on the Arizona Employer Sanctions Law. By appealing to the Supreme Court, she demonstrates that she has decided against a "confession of judgement". Therefore she should make a public commitment to recluse from the case.
From Wikipedia on confession of judgement : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confession_of_judgment
"By 'confessing judgment,' the Solicitor General declares that the federal government's position in a case has been wrong all along. As a result, the case is dropped, even when it had been supported by a lower appellate court.
Thus a lower court's decision in a case to which the United States government is a party can be reversed, effectively, in two different ways: first by a reversal by the Supreme Court itself, or second by a 'confession of judgment' by the Solicitor General who refuses to prosecute a cause that he or she considers to be unjust."

Or the gas prices go to 4.00 a gallon again. Anyone think this is why we have spill? (Hope I'm wrong.)
The banks don't care a hoot, they have the bailouts with the money to drive the stocks again. Corporate America pulls more money from us again like every other year with allowing production in another country then they turn around and sell the product back to you and I in America without giving us a job, and its tax free. That's why you and I don't have a job. I'm tired of hearing, get a job, I have 3 degrees, and 10 years of superb work ethics in my grasp as a web designer, and computer tech, CIS (before that, I worked in a shop, food chain, logger, and other labor jobs). It's who you know ? not what you know. Or maybe I'm to over qualified, or I open my mouth to much and speak the truth that others don't like.
The real problem -- "NO JOBS".
Hello is anyone going to wake up in the White House? Are you all on a new drug called "I DONT CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"? To tell you the truth ? you don't give a dam about the American People ? if you did unemployment checks would continue, or you would construct jobs available in America.
What about all these so called GREEN jobs? That's a complete joke. Just think ? if America went to converting all gas and diesel engines to other power sources. You're talking hundred thousand jobs, and hundreds of factories to make parts for conversion. That's not all ? just think no more dependants on OIL from other countries. I could go on with this, and write a book. I would love to know how many people in this country can think for themselves, or for that matter think of new innovative ideas. Watch TV shows on the History Channel, or the Science Chanel, you can learn allot. (Or read a Lou Dobbs publication!) My opinion ? I think the media is told by the government to keep most Americans to stay dumb in watching REALITY TV, and controlling the major news networks with crap and keeping all high urgent issues at hand low key. (Behind Closed Doors)
I'll be fine ? I have an intuitive mind to keep going. As for Washington, from UFO's to Conspiracy, they are not the only smart beings on this planet. Not everyone in America follows the rules they place forth to command you and I as a heard of cattle.
It's time for the Americans to start another revolution to take America back, get away from your TV remotes and start working to take back America. That rule should be the only rule we should be all following. I'm not talking to the people that want to work. I'm talking to the people in America that want everything for nothing, and cannot speak a word of English.
Hey Lou, what can I do to help your cause? Do you need a forum moderator? Let's push your forum as a media for intelligence that the White House don't seem to have. Give me a call, or email me, you have my contact info on the site as I'm a member.

They should make the oil wells lines from the ocean to the rig out of manuverable materials that will not break, such as an l arm that can give one way or the other and inside of the l arm use a replaceable rubber hose or tire substance hose that can be replaced every 2 years. How can we allow these people to throw a steel pipe accross the ocean in water and not expect for it to rust out or need service over a mile down in the ocean. Those pipes should be replaced immediately with ones with cut off valves so this type of thing never happens agail.

. Fixing the Gulf of Mexico Oil Leak
What troubles me is in case of Oil Fires is that the way they stop the Oil Flow is put the fire out with an explosion to deprive the fire of Oxygen, and while the fire is out they place a piece of pipe with a valve that is open and clamp it to the pipe that is spewing the Oil, then close the valve stopping the flow of Oil.
See John Wayne's movie "Hellfighters" or watch the news Clips from when Saddam Hussein set all the Kuwaiti Oil Fields on fire.
The same technique would work under water. Using the Robot Submarines put a piece of pipe with a Compression Flange at the bottom that has a valve at the top, slightly larger than the existing leaking pipe, with the valve that is open so the Leaking Oil can pass through it while they tighten a Compression Flange on the bottom to secure it to the leaking pipe using either a Brass Ferrule or a Teflon or Neoprene ring. Then close the valve stopping the flow of Oil. Then they could attach a pipe or hose to the upper side of the valve and put the Oil into Tanker Ships and transport to a Refinery to be refined into useable products.
This type of Compression Fitting is similar to the fittings used on many of the valves and compression unions used around the world to install and repair Toilets, Kitchen and bathroom sinks and lavatories. What BP, FEMA, Homeland Security, The United States Coast Guard and the Obama Administration need to do is call a Plumber or Pipefitter (Steamfitter), and get the leak stopped.
By the way I just got my 45-year Pin for being in the Piping business.
How many people are familiar with a "Compression Fitting?" Every Plumber, Pipefitter, most Maintenance people, most Auto Mechanics anyone who works at a Ace Hardware Store, True Value Hardware Store, any Architect or Engineer, anyone who work at Home Depot, Lowes, or any Plumbing Supply and Pipe Supply House, Any person who works at any Valve or Pipe Fitting Manufacturer in my estimation about (One Hundred Million) 100,000,000 people in this country alone, But British Petroleum, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Obama Administration don't have the Foggiest Notion, OR they don't want to fix it.

It was clear he didn't have any plans to deal with any border issues before the budget window closed. The Committee reluctantly said they might have to decide on their own how much money to allocate (probably so he couldn't later claim enforcement wasn't in the budget).

Congratulations to members of Congress that applauded the Mexican President when he denounced the laws of the great state of Arizona and the United States of America.
Those members not only invigorated thousands of American citizens to withdraw support for them and their re-election campaigns but insulted the great state of Arizona on behalf of every resident of their own state. I personally admonish anyone representing me that participated in that pubescent display of bad manners.
It is the right of a foreign leader to profess their position to Congress albeit foolish to bite the hand that feeds you. Now we know that leader has little or no respect for the United States of America or our citizens.
The leader considers all Mexican born persons as subjects of that country disregarding any commitment they may have to the USA.
May all States of the USA adopt the wording of Arizona State sb1070h to protect US Citizens, legal and undocumented immigrants alike.
May I be so bold as to suggest that Mexican citizens kindly return home to develop the economy of Mexico. There are 10-20 million people in the USA that could make a real difference transforming Mexico into a world leading economy.

Our ding a ling president besides being inept ( and I am kind by not adding more) is causing millions of sea creatures to be killed. He is likely causing an economic disaster for all of the southern States that are exposed.
Look blow it up and have the debris fill in the leak but do something. Our President is a joke and he should resign for proving no leadership and take the unqualified cronies that he appointed with him.

How can the Mexican President authorize millions of their citizens to cross the border without subjecting them to the two year prison term for the first crossing of the border that the country sentences American citizens to? Is that not racist? Secondly, Why does the USA recognize dual citizenship? That policy is counter productive and encourages people to belittle citizenship in the USA.

What we need you ask? If we as a whole are going to bring this nation back under our belt (WE THE PEOPLE), all need to speak our truths of freedom and follow the constitution.

The Liberal Media will not report on the further lawless actions by illegals because the Liberals need these people's illegal votes to stay in power this coming November. And God forbid a news agency actually considers that since these people who keep decrying "liberty and justice" for illegals are just as likely the same people who call Patriotic Americans Demagogues when a Tea Party breaks out. From one lawless act,(entering the nation illegally to countless others), these people continue to thumb their noses at our laws. It needs to stop, and not with Amnesty or a free ride. And to task them with paying fine? Please. That will never work. Comprehensive Immigration Reform? A joke. The punchline is that it would allow millions of persons to again win a major victory in the eyes of the World that United States is helpless to enforce it's own internal laws, let alone try and show it is still a Superpower. You cannot be weak domestically in terms of National Defense and declare a War on Terror abroad. In terms of the New York bomb attempt: just another crack-pot who thinks he understands his beliefs but really just is a person filled with hate. It is going to continue only because people do what they want when they want and as American Citizens it is up to us to stay vigilant and keep our eyes open. Thank you again Lou Dobbs for always keeping it real. Take care.

We are standing with Arizona! Governor Brewer is a very brave politician which is something this country has lacked for years. She is on the side of her constituents, her working class people who have lost jobs to illegal aliens and her state.
As for the children, yes, they should be deported with their parents if those parents are illegal aliens. This birthright citizenship needs to stop. ABC says there are tourist birth packages for sale in other countries that allows foreigners to come to our country specifically so their child is a United States Citizen.
Why is it that the ACLU is on the side of Illegal Aliens instead of U.S. Citizens whose rights are being trampled on every time an illegal alien is hired in the country? Treason comes to mind!

Lou: The Governor or Arizona is a Hero! There is no demeaning that fact. Yes, the Federal Government is supposed to enforce Immigration Law, but to be honest, they have failed miserably. This law should be challenged by the Justice Department-it should be the model for the entire nation and all states ravaged by this invasion of unwanted and illegal invaders. President Obama called this action "misguided" only because he has no answers on how to stop our national identity from being destroyed. In fact, his own words of asking for Latinos and young people to vote for Democrats is proof positive that his only concern is to ignore the issue and focus on helping his failed Party to keep an apathetic ear towards the will of the People in regards to sovereignty and national security. The billions of dollars it costs to support these 20 million illegal entrants is staggering. So, Let the DOJ challenge this bold move, let the activists and the ACLU; LULAC; & MALDEF continue to protect the rights of illegals while ignoring the rights of the citizens and see how quickly they are shown to all for the inept leaders they really are. I am proud to be a Veteran and a citizen, as my ancestors are as well, and I will damned if I am going to see another state fall by the wayside like my home state of California is falling every day to the overrun status of the border and interior states. It should not be something we as a nation should condemn, it is something we should all stand behind and support and thus send the strongest message yet to Washington that this is our nation and criminals do not have the right to dictate our laws or or sovereign rights to protect our states from mass invasion. Keep up the fight Lou!

But the way Congress and it's supposed leaders are giving away our nation to China and through veiled attempts at Amnesty, I find myself actually ill to my stomach thinking about where our country will be in three more years. It never seemed possible that our own leaders could be so apathetic towards the will of the people and put the nation as a whole on the brink of sheer anarchy. You can hope for changes in elections in 2010 all you want, but unless the will of the People is actually exercised in force, (million plus marches of Veterans and loyal Independents), nobody is listening. You may be, and that is still refreshing Lou, but even President Obama mocks you as does White House Spokesman Robert (glib) Gibbs. He even chides and scolds the non-liberal media and calls them children... I see that new Movie Red Dawn, (the remake), this time replacing the Soviets and Cubans with Chinese and Mexico.

Now we have the labor unions,corporates,as well as an ever expanding domineering and bullish government dictating what we'll buy, who we'll buy it from,and what we'll get for our mandated payments.

If the social Security System is truly broke, why is it that the federal government has borrowed (using there own figures) over two point five Trillion,( That's TRILLION $$$ ), dollars from the Social Security fund since it's inception and spent it to cover budget deficits. If that was added back into the current balance, we have a surplus, not a deficit. How is it they blame the current recipients of Social Security of bankrupting the system when in fact they (the current recipients) are the ones that created that surplus.

No other US Army has ever worn the reverse flag, only the full color flag, union to the left, no matter where on the uniform.

Lou; The reason the flag is camouflage and facing to the rear in the manner it is: a colored flag is an easy target for snipers. It is not due to some World Government running our Armed Forces as "Dan" would suggest. Secondly, it is reversed and facing backwards because when in the older days of conflict, (as even now), units carry their colors with them. To bring back images of famous "charges", when you move forward and not backwards or stand still the flag is always flowing backwards due to the forward charge. Hence, that is why it is "flowing" backwards. It is on the side of the uniform due to the configuration of the uniform, (Army), ACU's, due to the regulations for current unit of assignment being on the left sleeve and combat or tour patch on the right sleeve. This does not validate poster "Dan's" assertions. That is the by the book reason why it is not Red, White and Blue on the uniform in a "Combat Zone". I find it sickening that this person would even suggest our Armed Forces are under U.N. or other control, because if they were, (as in Somalia and Bosnia, they would be wearing Blue Berets or Kevlars instead of their issue camouflage. I know you like facts Lou and that helps you address certain issues that affect morale and understanding from the rest of the population. As I stated, all this information is in AR 670-1 on the wear of the US Flag in theaters of operation. I hope that helps Lou. Keep on telling the truth. But as in any battle, knowledge is half the battle. Rock em' and sock em' Lou! Go Independent America-take back our liberties. Sincerely, Daniel L. D I, CA

Lou, I would say that the reason why the administration is not focusing on jobs is because they want people to have to rely on the government. People having jobs in this country gives everyone independence from the government, and this administration just does not want to see that happen

TO Dan: They wear the camouflage flag because a sniper can shoot the Red, White and Blue flag and the soldier wearing it. No offense, but have you ever been in a combat zone? What should make you sick is the fact that some many "arm chair generals" think they understand why something is the way it is, but in truth, they only speculate. Lou; It should not make anyone sick to see our men and women in uniform and say our troops do not represent the United States. If you understood camouflage you would know the idea is not to be an easy target. This is not Iwo Jima; these troops are not hiding what nation they are from, it is rather their nation that conveniently forgets too often there is two wars still going on. That should make you sick, not the flag on their ACU's. Not to worry, Lou has his eyes wide open. Sorry Dan, try reading AR 670-1 to understand why the flag is camouflage and backwards. Just setting the record straight Lou. Love your show every day.

Except for the horizontal lines that look like stripes there is no resemblance to our true, real flag.

WHY DOES OUR MILITARY WEAR A REVERSE FLAG ON THEIR UNIFORMS??? I sent an email to ushistory.org and their reply was that the flag is on the opposit shoulder when serving under another command. I ask what other command? This started with Clinton during the Bosnia war and the US soldiers turned the flags inside out or backwards. That put the blue field on the right of the flag. Now they make US flags for the military uniforms with the field of blue to the right. That is not MY FLAG. Per the official code the flag can only be displayed flat or hanging free. When flat the field of blue is in the left corner. Has our military been coopted to another command that they are subordinate to??? Police, fire, EMT, etc., everyone else wears the flag properly.

Lou; If the Democrats move forward and push ObamaCare through Reconciliation and bypassing the will of the People we as a nation have truly become a Socialist nation run by those with the most power. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid should be ashamed of themselves for even contemplating this course of action, but President Obama himself is just as guilty and arrogant to think he has a Mandate to do what he wants without the concerns of how Americans feel about this "take-over" of Health Care and growing the US Government against the ideals of the founding fathers. I am proud to be and American, however, in this moment I feel ashamed of how our government is forgetting we are a Republic and Democracy. This is no more than a coup against what the people expected after (not me), the slimmest majority elected Barrack Obama. I will always raise my flag, however, at this point in our history I know the World is watching and waiting to see how far we truly have fallen. I love this nation, but I truly feel the men and women in Congress, as well as may Presidents feel it is "theirs" do with as they will. I can only hope Americans will vote from the brain and not from some false allegiance to their embedded Representatives and Senators.
If these people have no loyalty to us, why should we reward them with re-election? The answer is simple: We either unite and demand Independent Independence from the Red and Blue idealism or we fall as a nation in Stalin's mold and lose our sovereignty and national identity. I know you know what I am talking about Mr. Dobbs. I respect you for speaking out, but more than words are now needed to rebuild our failing government and internal needs as a nation.

ObamaCare is a sore that just won't go away and will not heal our broken economy. How amusing that President Obama still cannot see past his own ego and the agenda of taking this nation all the way to the far Left with the Puppet Masters Pelosi and Reid smiling the whole time. We are a nation at war! We have been so for 8 years and counting. We have 20 million illegal immigrants bleeding our schools, hospitals and states dry, costing hundreds of billions of dollars and millions of jobs that Americans will do. So, how do I see this President as a leader? I do not. In fact, he is worse than his predecessor in many ways. I was no fan of Bush, but really, at least he knew what nation he was President of, even if he had problems pronouncing words at times. In all seriousness-President Obama, the people do not want your agenda. They do not want Tea Party rallies to be viewed as "odd" or anti-American. In fact, they do not want you or your Party, (or the Republicans either for that matter), to keep talking and doing nothing. I am planning a really big Tea Party of my own, and with all the Veterans I am going to have there I dare Pelosi or that idiot Bill Maher to call us un-Patriotic for speaking the views we fought to have. Sorry, but the Tea Party is the Tear Party for the Democratic Left. Here is a tissue, but we have issues and they need to be addressed.

Lou, I would like to address Diana B. She is right on about the distortions of our history to be more "Politically Correct". History is a story-period. Unfortunately, as it always has been the case, those in power tell the stories from their perspectives. This Leftist Movement to change history to make people forget the sacrifices made by our forefathers and ancestors is tragic and criminal. Omitting the Civil War and the War against Britain from History texts is damned foolish. I always parry those in favor of illegal immigration, like George Lopez when they say the Colonists were the first Illegal Aliens. Wrong! There were no laws stating their colonization of this part of North America was illegal back then. Thus, he is a big moron who panders to his La Raza crowd of cronies to make money inciting illegal alien advocates. Diana, keep the faith-people like Lou Dobbs and me will never allow this nation to fall just because of apathy and persons in leadership roles who should not be their due to lack of experience or the abilities to govern. This is why our nation needs to take steps to become more Centrist and forget the Parties in office. We need to vote them out, yes, but we also have to replace them with leaders... That is our duty as citizens. Nice post Diana B. Keep telling the people what needs to get done Lou. They have the will, now they just need to have the gumption to get it done.

I noticed that the 3rd grade citizenship book teaches that "we" have more, and therefore, must share with others. They describe past immigration policies as negative (checking for diseases??). It is total propaganda for open boarders. In addition, the fourth grade math book has a unit for measurement and percentage, which they use countries to teach the concepts. It lists several European countries. The word Europe is not used, rather, they are called Zone 2 countries. American countries have a zone, etc. . .

Callers keep saying there are no solutions be offered via Tea Party rallies. Well, my rebuttal is simply this: You, the American People are the solution and regrettably, have been part of the problem as well. In terms of lost jobs, national security, and health care issues, too many Americans, (which I am proud to be), have fallen into the apathy trap. If it did not affect them or their portfolio it was not an issue. Now that the Middle Class is on the Endangered Species List suddenly people are awake to the fundamental problem of a Two-Party System. Democratic Republic we may well be, but if solutions are to be found there has to be a third party. Yes, an Independent Party. If you have a coin and you flip it about 50% of the time it will come up heads or tails-not too much room for debate or real solutions, just luck. If you have to actually work out our national issues with the Middle or Centrist Party, (which needs to be officially created), then their is real choice, real debate, and real solutions from a point of view not Red or Blue. In conclusion, as I have served this nation and retired younger than I wanted to, so too have so many others, I feel I have earned my say, but also have an obligation that goes beyond my oaths. My oaths never expire. That having been said, it is a damned shame that our nation is in the state it is in when we have so many persons willing to die for freedom and then have the rest of the nation sit on their hands and complain instead of acting. I have a voice now that I did not have in uniform. I exercise it here and everywhere. We can all elect real leaders, but before we do that we have to learn (or at least some of you do), {I know how to lead already}, how to responsibly choose those who represent us in Congress. Ideology aside, choices have to be made on logic, not just beliefs. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are documents of logic. Our Independence demands we hold ourselves accountable each and every day. Yes, our Congressmen and Women have to do better, but we, the people have to put better people in those seats. Sacrifice is a journey, not simply a destination. It is time we Americans started to rebuild trust in ourselves and stop taking the easy road. I believe in hard work, sacrifice, and a strong national defense. In short, I am a Patriot. With that comes the responsibility that people like me, like Lou Dobbs, and millions of others have to come out of the shadows and affect real change, not just hope for it. This government is broken. It will not be fixed unless we put into it leaders, not fixtures. That is my remark for this week. To you Lou-keep spreading the truth sir. Rangers Lead the Way! Sincerely, Sergeant Major Daniel L.

I am going to overturn recent decisions and issue a command, as your Commander in Chief, that the terrorists that have caused death and destruction in the Middle East and within our shores and on our airplanes, are indeed terrorists, and as such war criminals. I will not allow them to be tried in a US Court of Law...period. They will immediately be transferred back to a military prison and tried by a military tribunal as war criminals as soon as possible.

This President is so into himself and his own image and agenda that he still fails to see that the people want jobs and that means he, {Obama}, needs to stop campaigning and start leading. His State of the Union speech was nothing more than a dropping of the gauntlet to again reassert his Liberal and determined attempts to take this nation right over the cliff to the far Left. He said he would rather be a great one-term President? He is not even a mediocre one. In conclusion, jobs are here, and the ones overseas need to be brought back. That means the IRS, Department of Defense Contracts, and industry. Illegal Immigration is a major roadblock to the entire jobs dilemma because billions are spent being "compassionate" to law-breakers. Yes, reform is necessary Lou, but not at the further expense of American Sovereignty.

Senator Elect Brown has shown the strength and resolve of all Independents within our nation. I look forward to the winds of change to sweep this nation in November. This is the "vote" heard throughout the nation and a Revolution of Independent America has picked up momentum. Lou, you and all Americans should be proud of what took place in Massachusetts yesterday. All Californians are now hoping that the Independent Voice is heard loudly and clearly this November. This is the People's Nation and it will always be. God Bless Lou and congratulations to Senator Elect Scott Brown. Keep on trucking all the way to the Senate. Sincerely, Sergeant Major Daniel L. D., USA, ret. CA

One man's Rebublican turned Independent view-
I am a lifelong republican but voted for Obama in 2008 to show my dissatisfaction with the policies of George Bush and to show my dissatisfaction with the direction of the current republican platform.
I chose to be a Republican because it used to be the party of greater fiscal responsibility and smaller government.
Fiscal responsibility and smaller government all but vanished during the Bush years including costly decisions to be paid for on the backs of our children and their children (an easy way to avoid difficult decisions, i.e., spending other people?s money that don?t get a vote.)
What about the party that says they favor less government in our lives? What could be more Republican than supporting a woman?s right to choose without government interference? In my opinion, an intrusive anti-choice agenda should not be part of the Republican platform.
The Republican Party needs to stand up and support less government in our lives; fiscally, administratively and with sound social policies. Until Republican Party leaders come around to consistency in their platform I will remain an independent.
I predict that the Democrats in power will now feel the dissatisfaction of the independent voter as the Republicans did in 2008. The Republicans will be well advised not to count this as vote for their policies.

Illegal immigrants should not be given the opportunity to become American citizens EVER. They will never stop coming if we keep rewarding them with citizenship. NO. Isnt a green card or a work visa good enough? We cant even provide for Americans. How long do we give away all of American industry, infrastructure and freedoms until nothing is left. Why should the children of ILLEGALS be given citizenhip? Why? NO other country on Earth does this.

Lou: Can Nancy Pelosi be any more delusional? She said that regardless of the outcome in Massachusetts there will be a Health Care Bill soon. What planet are these people living on? The vast majority of Congress, regardless of what the people are saying seem Hell bent on shoving this Health Care Bill down the throats of all Americans. In my state of California the only people who want this Bill are the illegal immigrants and uninsured who want a "hand out", regardless of the cost to taxpayers and responsible citizens. Can somebody tell Nancy Pelosi she may be the Speaker of the House but she does not speak for all the people...Please!

Re the earthquake in Haiti: Could the TV networks come to an arrangement that just one organization cover a natural disaster, and then share the footage? They could take turns with catastrophes. Many US television reporters + their camera crews are drinking water, eating food that could go to the desperate victims. I hear there is only one landing strip, so more supply planes could land without this gaggle of geese crowding the runway.
I turn the TV channel, and the Haiti coverage is there again -- the same horrific scenes but from a slightly different angle. I bet Katie Couric is washing her face and hair with Evian. But please, not on my account...

Lou; This whole debate about Massachusetts and the "Teddy Kennedy" Senate seat is ridiculous. I feel that too many members of both Parties believe they are entitled to certain seats in Congress and that is where the elitism runs rampant. No seat in Congress, no state should be assumed to be either Red or Blue. These are the seats of the representatives of the people. It is a prime example as how presumptuous and arrogant the Democrats and Republicans are to feel any such seat of power is reserved for their Party. The People decide, and in this case, the bully tactics and interference by either Party is not in line with what the Constitution wanted. In terms of a New Contract With America: none should be required. The only contract has already been signed-it is called the US Constitution and those signatures permanently in place should be the only "contract" pretend leaders need to follow. I humbly submit that if persons want to be in the Senate or the House they should look at and read that document to see what it is they are running for, not continually trying to re-write what is the will of the People. The Bill of Rights is also one of those documents that seems to elude the proper interpretation by wannabe Congressmen. This is a nation of diverse people, not just Red and Blue. So, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the fractured Republican Party need to understand we are a nation of Independents, not Party favors. Sergeant Major Daniel L. D., USA ret. CA

It is not the Democrats alone who are destroying the American Dream, it is the vast majority of Congress and supposed leaders who have lost touch with the people of our nation. Lou; A two Party system does not work any longer simply because there are more than two views in this nation and when one Party controls everything the other Party members feel "left out". And all of us Independents sit in the middle and wait for scraps, all the while screaming "we're mad as Hell and want real change!" It is a lose-lose situation when the Supreme Leader forgot why he said he ran for President and became a mouthpiece for Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and has the Liberal Media stoking the flames every single day. I personally feel most of Congress needs to be replaced with competent and forward thinking leaders, not just eloquent speakers and orators who lull Americans into a false sense of Patriotism. Our nation needs an overhaul from the top down. The people have suffered enough, it is time for our sacrifices to be rewarded. All this government control is "taxation without fair representation". That once started a Revolution. Rock on Lou. Sergeant Major Daniel L. D., USA ret. CA
CSM Daniel D. wrote at 8:18 AM on Jan-11-2010:
Lou; In direct response to Senator Reid's comments, I think this shows where the real power lies in the US Government. In an Administration supposedly transparent and fair, we see Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid continually exposing the double standard which is rampant in Washington. I find Majority Leader Reid's comments not only insulting, but also a true testament to the lack of leadership in our governmental system. An apology is great, but what precipitates these people to speak thus is the underlying question that needs to be addressed. I am certain you Lou would at least agree that good intentions do not erase poor decisions or statements when in a Leadership position. It seems the circus that is the US Congress continues to find new ways fill the Big Top with odd and erratic persons to lead our nation. Thank goodness those of us who use our minds and not race can still speak coherently without having to have any particular ethnic dialect and still be capable leaders. Hit them hard on this one Lou!

Hi Lou, optimistically the coming year holds hope, practically it holds the momentum of the recent years of American decline, and for Americans of spirit it holds a lot of work. Thank you for your hard work, we must all step up a little this year to ensure an America as we have enjoyed will be there in the future. Maybe more than ever before this quote should be heard loud "We have met the enemy and he is us". American complacency has enabled our politicians to feel empowered to deliver their personal agenda with little regard to the majority they serve. I blame to a large part the media for elections based on "sound bites" and reporting of miss direction on fair and honest debate of issues. We must find away in the media to fairly bring into focus the real picture of the future each agenda offers and as Americans we must look beyond the false promise of rose gardens when commonsense tells us otherwise. Lou, keep us focused in 2010 and keep the truth in the debate.

Dear Lou,
Regarding the Senator's reprimand by Senator Boxer to the General, you are 100% correct in your statement of fact relative to protocols. The Senator was disrespectful and out of line, as well as showing disregard for proper classification as a member of the female class. Your caller, Pat who challenged the use of the term ma'am by the General, she is wrong about the scale of average pay for women in the workplace. I resent her assessment on both conditions. Obviously, she is a disgruntled feminist of the type that believes in self-righteous indignation and bigotry over gentlemanly conduct and deference to the opposite sex.
If I were the General, my response would have been...I'll call you whatever you want, but don't ever attempt to assert your self-righteous, self-appointed position of authority over my position as a qualified military serviceman who fought for your freedom to be here in a position which many would appreciate and consider an honor in itself, without demanding such respect you have not earned.

Our politicians won't enforce the laws and we are forced to pay for all the babies born to illegals and take care of their children, until at least 18 years and beyond. They get a free education, along with a free breakfast & lunch at school. Our prison system is overcrowded with illegals. In fact, thousands of gang members and bad people have crossed the borders with ease over the years, and our politicians turn their heads. We need your input in congress or the senate.
