Open thread for Sunday, July 27th: This Corrosion
Here is the open thread for Sunday, July 20th; please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues arise during the course of the day. Nothing is off-topic here.
As usual you can follow America’s Watchtower on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the links on the right. I often post links to articles I probably will not be writing about so it is a great way to keep up with what is going on in the world. You can also subscribe to receive email updates and if you do you will never miss a post again.
In case you have not noticed I have replaced the old Twitter widget with a new, fully interactive Twitter widget. This widget updates my tweets in near real time and allows you to respond to or retweet my tweets right from the blog. Is also allows you to tweet me right from America’s Watchtower. How cool is that! If you do not have a Twitter account what better reason do you need to sign up for one!?
Please check out what the New Federalist Party has been up to by clicking on the link to the right. On the NFP Facebook page you will find a link to the party platform. Check it out and if you like what you see we are currently looking for donations and delegates to the states for the convention.
This week’s musical selection is Sisters of Mercy performing ‘This Corrosion’ on ‘Top of the Pops’ in 1987.

Here is an article from MY area: http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/07/26/cash-strapped-chicago-sees-the-lucrative-business-of-illegal-aliens-as-a-way-to-help-cover-financial-hurdles/
As IF we need any more shootings/killings in the Chicago area, they want to bring in more illegals. If you pay attention to the daily/nightly shootings/killings in the Chicago area, it is amazing! There is already a problem with the rival gangs there. At one time,years ago, you could go along the lake and pull off in the parking areas to walk around. Not now! The areas are taken over by gangs and there are certain areas of Lake Shore Drive that you do NOT want to be and are actually told to stay out of. That should tell you the control these gangs have. My issue is that what happens in Chicago, filters down to Decatur…I think we have better Benefits here in Macon county than in the Cook county area, so down they come. We need more problems here as well! We have enough already and the jails are full, but, hey, bring in more, please!
If you read the article above, you will see the money that is being brought in by Chicago welcoming the illegals, Chicago likes MONEY!
I still think, that once school starts up and the kids start bringing home diseases, there is going to be hell to pay. I am not sure what they will do about it, if they are already in the area and settled. We have big issues here, don’t we? And, who do we have to thank for this mess??? OBAMA!

What is the worst that can happen my taking in a couple of illegal immigrants? Of course I am kidding but it must be frustrating as hell to see them doing this while they know it is not best for the people because they only care about the money. Have there been any protests there yet? Massachusetts is also agreeing to take hundreds more illegal immigrants than they already have in recent weeks and yesterday there was a big protest at the State House. It gives me hope that the tide is turning and if this can happen in California and Massachusetts perhaps it will happen there, and all across the nation, as well.

Thanks for sharing that, Zip! I feel so old, most in that video are gone, just a handful left. I was 16 at that time. I watched a John Wayne movie yesterday, I still like those. Not too many people today would sing that, it might not be “politically correct” to do that. Isn’t that sad? Not politically correct to have God Bless America?

You’re welcome Lou, thanks for liking it! I still like the Duke westerns too. Just shows how far we’ve been herded and moved away from our traditional core. Glad it brought back fond memories!

Just found this one and thought it upbeat as well – uses satire and examples to state ‘get rid of them!’ Has some tunes you’ll remember: As the World Burns – Intellectual Froglegs 2014 (19 mins, but makes the point).

I do not know how many on here take statin drugs for cholesterol, but this is a good article to read. It says everything I have been arguing with my doctor for years about. Once they found a way to measure a level on cholesterol as well as blood sugar, they lower it so low for “normal” that most people can never achieve it. Our bodies have to HAVE cholesterol, but the drug companies seem to think that even children as young as 12 need to start taking the statin drugs to help ward off high cholesterol. This is crazy! I go once a year to the doctor for a BP pill. After I turned 50, it seems they wanted me to start running all these routine tests and of course would need “meds” to control whatever they would find. I chose NOT to do this and it really upsets people when you do that. I also should be taking the shingles shot and have all my flu and pneumonia shots each year! NOT! I have friends already (I am 60) that are on so many drugs and complaining about side effects, I am thinking I would be crazy to follow suit. What are your thoughts on how they are pushing drugs on us? I prefer to do supplements and natural remedies and so far they have done just fine.

What I find worst is the way they seem to push drugs on our children for being hyperactive, when I was a kid this was just being a kid, now it seems to be an affliction.
The ironic part of this is the fact that I work for a company which builds the electrical systems that make the drugs. It is not all that we, we are also in water/waste water, but the drug industry is our largest base.
