Don't Be the Silent Majority: Don't Give Up the Fight!

"Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." (James 4:17)

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

Was there really any doubt that the "One" would get his vote? I mean the demweasels have their price, even if it is a political sleight of hand using an Executive Order that has less teeth than a newborn baby. Thank you Mr. Stupak. Although, Bart Stupak was never going to vote against the bill anyway. Why he pulled this charade this long is a mystery, but he's not really two-faced, he's just a liar. Once he caved, the rest of the so-called pro-life democrats followed along. And here we are! Europe!

But, those of us in the majority in this country who oppose the complete takeover of our health care (and then everything else, it seems) by the government cannot let up. We must keep up the pressure, not only on the current crew in Washington, but also on the new people we will vote in come Election Day 2010 and then again in 2012.

For me, I will work tirelessly for the opponents of Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand and Steve Israel. They are to blame, with the rest of the democrats, for undermining the foundation of this country. I say dump the lot of them! Dump the Dems!

The United States of America is about personal responsibility, not nanny state handouts. It was built on hard work, honesty, integrity. The grit of generations gone by has gotten us to the position of envy around the world. Sure the bad mouth us, but when there is trouble, either politically or naturally, who does the world look to? The United States of America. That's because we could be counted on to give money, resources and people to help in times of trouble.

This country was founded on great Judeo-Christian principles of doing good to others while living free. Having freedom WITH responsibility and not freedom from responsibility, which the current Democratic-controlled government is touting.

We need to keep fighting to get this country back and not lose heart. We endured Carter, we can fix this problem too.

Get involved. Get vocal. Let your representatives know they are out. Find out who is running against them and help those folks out! Run for office yourself! Do SOMETHING to change this.

Don't be like the people who don't vote and then complain about taxes.

OK, now, take the pledge. Pledge today to do something positive for this country. If we all band together, we can have America back and better for everyone!

God bless you.

And may God show mercy to America.

Obama Shows Himself For Who He Is

Mr. Obama showed that he no longer considers himself the President of the United States, but now is the dictator of the US by announcing he was ready to ram through the healthcare bill even though the vast majority of Americans do not want it. So much for government "of the people, by the people and for the people".

Instead of this ill conceived, never able to pay for, bankrupt the country bill, Mr. Obama should have scrapped it and regrouped. Instead of forcing people into a Medicare-like plan, why not make it so the free market, (You remember the free market, right?) can work to make it more affordable so the people who aren't covered and want to be covered (there's always going to be people who do not want coverage) can get coverage.

That's not Mr. Obama's plan. His plan is to make the federal government take over your life. He wants the government in charge of you not you in charge of the government. I'm not Oliver Stone. I don't buy into conspiracy theories. This man, however, is doing everything he can to increase the size, scope and power of the federal government. He is not listening to the citizens of this country. Not at all.

We all need to speak to our representatives and let them know that in no uncertain terms do we want this country to go in the direction Mr.Obama is taking it. That is not the America we want.

It's time to organize.

It's time to act.

Don't let the country slip away.

How Can the Conservatives Take Our Country Back?

The Obama administration is imploding under its own weight with the health care disaster they call reform, ACORN, Tim Geitner's indiscretions, being soft and incompetent on terror, Janet Nepalitano saying the system worked when someone actually was able to board a plane with explosives in his Fruit of the Looms, slow to react when we are attacked, not caring about Americans safety by bringing the 9/11 trials to a civilian court in New York City, not caring about what the majority of citizens want when it goes against what the Democratic party wants, the Louisiana Purchase where they gave Louisiana $300 million to sway a vote on health care, bribing Ben Nelson of Nebraska with a sweetheart deal for his state to get him to vote Yes to this health insurance legislation that will bankrupt the country and I can go on and on but I don't want to continue to write the longest sentence I have ever written.

You get the idea.

All that being said, how can the Conservatives take advantage of the situation as the liberal Democrats did last year? What do they have to do to win back the hearts and minds of America?

Number 1 is they have to embrace the fiscal conservatism of Reagan. Continue to say "No" to mortgaging our future and the futures of our children and grandchildren and give attractive, real fiscally-sound alternatives and keep hammering it home. Do not let up.

Number 2 is they need to keep telling the country how unsafe we have become since this administration has come to power. There are plenty of examples. They need to keep that in the media.

Number 3 is they need to continually tell us how the alleged health care reform the Pelosi/Reid led congress is trying to ram down our throats will make us more unhealthy, hurt the quality of care, limit the care we get, and take the control out of our hands and put it in the government's hands.

Number 3 is they need to continually belittle what the Democrats are doing, just as the Saul Alinsky-inspired Democrats are doing to them. Keep telling America how silly the Dems complaints are. Keep laughing at the absurd solutions they propose. Keep saying how out of date and out of touch the Dems/Libs are with regular Americans. Marginalize them every chance they get.

They need to defeat Coakley in Massachusetts on January 19th in the special election to fill Kennedy's seat.

They need to defeat Gillibrand in New York for her Senate seat.

They need to stop fighting in public.

They need to be smarter at winning over younger voters.

They need to rally the base to get out and vote.

They need to listen to the Teabag Party. They are regular Americans that are fed up with how the government is so dysfunctional and out of touch with what we want.

I am sure we can come up with more, but you get the picture.

We need to support those who can deliver this, so we do not lose this country, which we will if the liberal Democrats, Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer and their cohorts are allowed to continue to run amok in this country.

Get out and vote. Get involved. Support those who will listen to you and care about what you want.

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.

A Sigh of Relief, but a Call to Not Let Up

OK, so Election Day is over and the Republicans did really well. All seems better with the world.

It has only taken nine months for Barack Obama to wake the citizens of this country up to the reality of his idea of transforming the country. He's turning it into a socialist regime that holds dear to the tenet that big, intrusive government and not the people is the answer to all of society's ills.

Obamacare/Pelosicare is the government takeover of your health care. Taxes will increase due to the shear size of the cost (now estimated at a staggering $2,000,000,000.00 (that's TRILLION)) and the quality of care will necessarily decrease because so many more people will be inserted into the system. Wait times to see doctors and get critical tests will skyrocket. The quality of life in America will suffer greatly all because of this man's "vision". Can we afford that? Do we really want that?

Cap and trade, which is the single largest tax increase in the planet's history will kill this country. Whatever your thoughts are on global warming or climate change or whatever the latest buzz words are, this is an ill-conceived,, dangerous bill that threatens the lives of every American in the place that is most vulnerable since Obama was elected and that's our wallets. More taxes. Bigger government. More intrusion into our lives. Lower quality of life.

Is that the change you voted for?

Sure, our "image" is better around the world. And the reason for that is obvious. Obama has emasculated this country. He's taken our "swagger" away. He portrays us as weak as the other nations of this planet. He's this century's Neville Chamberlain. Though our image might be better, he's fostered no more cooperation from anyone. Not one foreign leader has jumped on the Obama bandwagon. He's singlehandedly pulled us back to the pack out of the world leadership role we have had for so long. Why would he do that? What is that accomplishing? It's making the world and, worse, our country more dangerous and more in peril.

The people of this country have awakened to see it all slipping away and hopefully it is not too late to save America from slipping away into Europe.

I see some hope, real hope, not the smoke and mirrors hope of Obama in the election results of Tuesday.

We need to keep on keeping on and build momentum for next year and 2012 and take this country back and put it in the right direction again. That direction is fiscal responsibility, less government intrusion in our lives, lower taxes, and more security both domestically and around the world.

God bless you.

May God bless America.

Dear President Obama - Stop Trying to Silence Those Who Disagree with You!

President Obama has launched an all out assault on your free speech. By targeting Foxnews and "isolating" them, he has taken a step towards silencing all who don't follow his philosophy of bigger government, higher taxes, government control of everything and no one dissenting.

Dissent is what makes this country great and indeed was embraced by the liberals in Washington for the eight years that George Bush was in office. All of a sudden, dissent and speaking out is "unAmerican". The hypocrisy of it all is so obvious.

He has sent David Aexelrod, Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs and the Mao Tse Tung loving Anita Dunn out to tell America that Foxnews is not a news station and shouldn't be treated as such. Well, that's just a lie. They are all lying. One need only watch Foxnews and see the truth and people are watching in record numbers. Newsmax reported on a poll by the League of American Voters that showed that almost 50% of Foxnews viewers are Democrat or Independent. People are flocking to Foxnews because they are fair and balanced as their motto says. They have all points of view on and, yes, they cover the news straight out and probably better than the networks because they don't put a spin on it. They report, you decide.

We all need to speak out about this. Tell the President to stop trying to squelch our free speech!

We need Foxnews if only to counteract the rest of the so-called mainstream media who swoon at every breath and movement of the president. They (the mainstream media) are acting as his public relations bureau rather than keeping him accountable.

The Administration would do well to put their time into governing because, so far, they aren't really doing a good job. They are running this country into the ground and they don't want you to know about it.

Mr. President, with all due respect to the office, stop trying to silence those of us who disagree with you. 2012 is not that far away.

Obama Friendly ACORN in a Scandal that Rages On - Charlie Gibson from ABC Laughs

ACORN, the community organization that receives millions (and is slated to receive billions, yes, that's billions with a "b") more) that is being overrun with scandal after scandal and with very close, intimate ties to Obama is being ravaged by scandal after scandal, the most recent one involving a pimp and a prostitute and illegal, underage girls from Nicaragua. Foxnews (and not too many other so-called news outlets) is covering this deeply disturbing story as is the blogosphere, but apparently, the biggest scandal to rock Obama to date has somehow kept itself from one Charles Gibson of ABC. Good thing you're retiring Charlie (or maybe you already have).

Yesterday, Gibson was a guest on the Wade and Roma show being broadcast on 890 WLS radio out of the Windy City. In light of the growing ACORN scandal (one of many brewing for this questionable organization) co-host Don Wade asked the following question of the soon to be retired Mr. Gibson::

Okay, here’s my news question. A Senate bill yesterday passes, cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now, we got that bill passed and we have the embarrassing video of ACORN staffers giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13-year-old hookers. It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?

Gibson: HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHE. I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know. Uh. Uh. But my goodness, if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it, we should talk about it this morning.

Roma: This is the American way!

Gibson: Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables.

Roma: Well, I think this is a huge issue because there’s so much funding that goes into this organization…

Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about...

Roma: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s blogged at least once on this scandal.

Gibson: You guys are uh really up on the website

A couple of things here:

#1 - Apparently, laughing like a schoolgirl is a technique the left uses so as to minimize a topic or opposition to "O" as if the story was so unimportant and of no value. Charles Gibson is a joke now and the laughs are on him. Good thing he's getting out, because he's of no value to anyone and the only role he's filling at ABC is keeping his seat warm.

#2 - The left keeps attacking Foxnews ("Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables.") Foxnews is single-handely crushing network "news". It's not really news that the networks provide. It's more of an Obama PR stream. At least Foxnews gives all sides of the story. The networks don't think opposing views are that important since they are Obama advocates. And, isn't it funny how they think they need the Fairness Doctrine? Well, they need it to silence outlets like Foxnews and Talk Radio because they are the last vestiges of dissent against "the one".

This reminds me of what that cuddly Robert Gibbs said on Saturday about the 1.2 million people that were outside of the Capitol in D.C.vehemently protesting Obamacare, the huge deficit, out of control government spending and basically every economic policy of the current administration because they are driving us into oblivion on the backs of the middle class, our children, and our grandchildren. "I don't know who the group is," Gibbs told the press. Yeah, sure Bobby. Your administration is crumbling around you and you don't know about the "group" snarling traffic all around the Capitol building. I guess it's just a busy Saturday on the Mall. A tour bus must have let out up the block. What a buffoon.

If you are watching network "news", you aren't getting the whole story. You have no idea that the President's friends ("Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.") are falling all around him. Van Jones the "Green Jobs Czar" who is a self-proclaimed Communist, who signed a "Truther" petition suggesting George Bush had something to do with 9/11 (are you kidding me?) and who thinks white men are deliberately directing pollutants into minority areas resigned in disgrace. Now, ACORN, with the most intimate ties to Obama, is shown in shocking undercover videos in several cities giving people advice on how to run whore houses without the IRS finding out, as well as how to hide the fact that underage girls brought in illegally from Nicaragua, were going to be used to work those whore houses. Nice, eh? These are the President's close associates, advisers and, yes, friends. These Czars have to go, but you would never hear that on the network so-called news shows, because, HAHAHAHAHA, those aren't important stories for you to hear. They just "get past" those giants of news journalism.

Whoever controls the media, controls the people. Why aren't you getting the whole story? Why are people like Charlie Gibson not telling you everything you should know?

Questions that are worth asking and deserve answers.

Enough Already - Some Random Thoughts

Are you as fed up as I am with this new Administration trying to jam "change" down our throats? Change that hurts America. I wonder if the people who so erroneously voted for this man are happy with what's going on. The polls show, not so much.

Our government is set up to do just a few things. When America was founded by Tom Jefferson and all those guys, they envisioned a limited federal government. Does our federal government seem limited to you? No and it's expanding with each passing day under Barack Obama.

The federal government should defend the country, regulate commerce and build intrastate roadways and bridges. After that, they should leave everything else to the states.

The borders need to be closed up and defended. 12-20 million illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America in our country. This problem has been ongoing for a very long time. This is an easy one. Stop the flow of people over our southern border and make those who are here illegally, thus making them criminals, go home. We love immigrants in America. LEGAL immigrants. My ancestors came here LEGALLY. That's how my family got here. That's how all of our families (in whole or partly) have wound up in this great country. We need more Border Agents and they need the best equipment possible.

We need a strong and well equipped and well cared for military. In these post 9/11 days, our military is more important than ever. We need for them to not only have the best equipment, but we need to care for them and their families. They need a livable wage and benefits. This is imperative.

We need a strong Central Intelligence Agency. We must give this agency the resources and powers they need to get information to keep us safe. In the Bush years, this happened. Water boarding? Hey, I'm all for anything that will get the bad guys to talk. If they need to be persuaded in a strong way to give up information, then so be it. We are talking about the welfare of our country. What Obama is doing allowing Holder to do to the CIA is criminal. We need to support these brave people, not prosecute them! Thomas Sowell has a great article about this.

The government needs to stay out of health care. They cannot run anything efficiently. We need to be able to buy health insurance across state lines. We need reform on malpractice awards. We need frivolous lawsuits stopped. The major reason health care costs are skyrocketing is malpractice insurance rates. This is also causing doctors to leave the medical field. We need other reforms, such as covering pre-existing conditions. But these are things that can be solved without the government takeover of the entire health care industry.

We cannot afford the government to administer our health care. They will wind up rationing care. Quality will suffer. Health care will suffer greatly if we allow them to do this. SAY NO! We need reform, but not a federal take over. That is what Obama wants. That's not what we need.

We need free speech protected. Right now, the media is pro Obama. They love the guy and don't report honestly about him and his administration. Obama wants to squelch those who oppose him and his policies. That sounds like Russia, doesn't it? Ever wonder why he has so many "Czars"? Anyway, I digress, he knows if he controls the media, he controls the country. It's a classic totalitarian dictatorial technique. Chavez is doing it in Venezuela. This country was born on dissent. We need all points presented freely. We need that preserved.

America is being changed by someone with no regard to our constitution or history. Obama has a radical view of America. He wants to make it something that was unintended by our founders. Big government taking over everything. Trillions of dollars being spent that you and I will have to pay for in higher, more oppressive taxes. More government control over your lives. Less quality of care in our health care industry. Freedom of speech being squashed like they did in the Soviet Union. What's going on here? Why is there not more outrage? More yelling? More protesting?

America is eroding under our feet. Will we just stand and take it? Smile? Not do anything because we're afraid of standing up and opposing Obama and being labeled a racist because of his skin color? Look, black, brown, white or green, this guy is ruining our country and the people going along with him, your congressman and senators, are complicit and should be held accountable. Schumer, Gillibrand, Bishop, Israel and the lot should be voted out. We should send a message that they work for us. We don't kowtow to them.

Enough already It's time to take back our country.

A Tale of Two Murders

On Sunday, May 31st, late term abortionist George Tiller was gunned down while attending church. Tiller, who killed viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy for $5000, was shot and killed by Scott Roeder a man with mental problems with ties to militias, but not any pro-life groups.

That very day President Obama issued this strong statement:

"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."

Shortly after that, the Obama Administration's Attorney General, Eric Holder dispatched US Marshals to abortion clinics around the country to protect them and make sure more violence did not occur at other facilities. I guess the AG was concerned that there might coordinated attacks on abortionists.

According to Devlin Barrett of the AP, AG Holder is launching an investigation into Tiller's death.

Pro-Life Groups from around the country quickly condemned the killing, as they should. This killing was the antithesis of what the Pro Life movement is about. Though the Pro-Life Movement is all about preserving innocent life, that of the unborn babies of this country and the world, they also understand the taking of this life, seen as not innocent, is not justified and that no one should take the law into their own hands by killing another.

On Monday, June 1st, Army Private William Long, 24, of Conway, Arkansas was gunned down by an Islamic extremist, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who also shot and wounded Provate Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville. These two heroes, through fresh out of Basic Training, were working as Army Recruiters in downtown Little Rock. It was Long's hometown. He grew up there.

Several days later, unlike the instantaneous statement by Obama about the abortionist's death, the President issued this lukewarm statement:

"I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long's family as they mourn the loss of their son."

No announcement was made by the Attorney General's office if an investigation was forthcoming.

Can you see the difference in these stories? The intensity of the first to the languid softness of the second. President Obama tips his hand, yet again, as to his priorities. He is the most pro-abortion President ever. He is the most anti-American President we've ever had.

This was an attack, and all accounts say that this Muslim gunman and possibly others were planning other attacks, on American soldiers on American soil and all the President can muster is sadness? But for an abortionist who killed viable babies in the womb for $5000, the President called the murder heinous and he said he was shocked and now his Attorney General is launching a full-scale investigation into the event. Heinous, Mr. President? How about the killing of babies right before they were to be delivered? How's that for HEINOUS?

In Cairo, he called himself a Christian. I submit to you he is nothing of the sort. His actions are OPPOSITE of what a true and genuine Christian would be. His views are OPPOSITE of what a true and genuine Christian would have. He is no more a Christian than Tiller was.

If you are a Christian and you voted for this President, what do you think of him now?

God bless the family of William Long.

May God have mercy on America.

Marriage: One man, one woman; it's Biblical not political!

Where's America Headed? Look @ California

Communications Consultant Jon Kraushar wrote a very interesting editorial on Foxnews.com today.

Basically, the point of the article is if anyone is interested to know what Barack Obama is doing to America, California is where they should look.

California, like America was once a vibrant, affluent, great place to live. People flocked there. It was the place to be and be seen! Sun and sea. Skiing in the mountains. Agriculture. Viniculture. In one state, you could swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon. They, along with Florida here in the east, supply much of America with fresh vegetables. And their wine is second to none. California was the land of opportunity. You could go there and make a go of it. Sound eerily familar?

Now, not so much. They have become inundated with illegal immigrants. They have embraced radical evnvironmentalism. They have grown their government, being ruled by the Democratic party, and an increasingly left-leaning Governor, to a size that has become unsustainable. According to Kraushar they lead America in spending on government employees. They are the second highest taxed state in the union.

Folks, that's where we're headed. Barack Obama is bankrupting this country with the same type of ideological, radical leftwing approach to society that has left California teetering on the brink. Borrowing got us in this mess and more borrowing is not going to get us out. Our government doesn't need to spend more, they need to pull spending back to sustainable levels. They are literally printing more and more "money" making what you have less valuable. Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner are driving us into the abyss.

Your kids and grandkids are going to have a radically different country to live in if these men have their way. There will be more poverty. They will have less freedom. The government will have much more control over them. It is not a pretty picture.

California, once the playground of the rich, is now wallowing in bloated government,high taxes, rampant illegal immigration, soaring health care costs and they are a harbinger of where the rest of the country under Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Tim Geitner is headed.

We need to organize. We need to speak out. We need to voice our opposition to the new America. We need to stop this now. Call, write, email your representatives and let them know you'll vote them out if they continue down this road.

Friends, we the people are America. The government works for us and not the other way around. They have to listen.

Please, don't let today end without getting involved!

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.

Out of the Mouth - The Overflow of the Heart

Matthew 12:34 states: For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

You know where a person's heart is by the words he speaks, which brings me to our illustrious President's public relations, campaign-like stop to the Jay Leno Show last night. Jay, feeding O softball after softball topic, broached the subject of the Whitehouse bowling alley, which many thought would be torn out and replaced with a basketball court because of the current occupant's love for that game. In speaking, sans teleprompter, O tried a self-depricating move telling Jay he's been practicing and actually bowled a 129! And, then, in the ensuing seconds during the laughter, our current defender of the weak, mocked an entire population by saying that his bowling prowess was like "the Special Olympics". Oh, how quaint. The only thing better would have been if he said he bowled like a girl.

First, can you imagine GWB making a comment like that? The media hounds would have barked him up a tree and called for his resignation. I googled "Obama Special Olympics" and found not one major media outlet carrying this horrendous story.

If you aren't a frequenter of Conservative blogs or a Foxnews person, you probably don't know about this story.

What does this comment say about the man? The same as what his enabling government funding of embryonic stem cell research and rescinding the ban on your tax dollars going to fund abortion around the world and the naming of the governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, the most pro-abortion governor in America, to the post of Secretary of Health and Human Services says about him. In his heart, he gives no worth to a human life whether unborn or special needs.

This is the "man" who is leading the way in this country. If that doesn't scare you, nothing ever will.

It's 60 something days into this present administration. Thank God, 2012 is coming.

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.

Transparency-You Can See Right Through It

Transparency. It's what "O" promised. He promised that bills introduced by the Congress would be put on the Internet for review by us, the citizens they would affect. In fact, they'd be there for 48 hours for anyone to read and scrutinize. Wow! What a great thing! What we got was the largest free-spending spree in the history of the world that got crammed down our throats so quickly not even your representatives had enough time to actually read the wording of the bill before they voted on it. Did it ever make it to the Internet? Yes, if you found a conservative web site that somehow obtained a copy of it, but it was over 1000 pages long and it came out less than 24 hours before the vote. Now, I'm a good reader, but not even an Evelyn Woods Valedicotrian could read that fast.

And then the "imperfact" budget came through. Another $400 billion or so of your hard-earned dollars with over 8000 earmarks. You remember what "O" said about earmarks, those pet projects that the Federal government has for years funded? He said he would eliminate them. He would go "line by line" and root them out. What we got was our President, under the cover of a closed door, signing a pork-laden bill into law that he claimed was old business, imperfect and we'll get to the earmark reform thing next year. Excellent convictions there "O". You certainly are making your mark. I guess Nancy Pelosi didn't want earmark reform and since you've pretty much delegated your presidency to her, that's what we got. Now your people, like DICK Durbin are trying to "redefine" earmarks as good things. Well, which is it? Are you going to eliminate this wasteful spending or are you going to redefine everything that's bad for our country as good so you can get away with it?

Oh and speaking of redefining terms, I see your tax cheat Tim "Turotax" Geitner told Charlie Rose that capitalism is going to be different from now on. Earth to Tim, you economic genius you, if capitalism is going to be different, it's not going to be capitalism!

You have to love this administration. All they have to do is redefine things to mean what they want them to mean and every thing is hunky dory! Nice!

OK Mr. President. I'm redefining being a taxpayer as someone who DOESN'T pay any taxes. You guys should recognize that. See? That was easy.

This President and this administration are a train wreck, but you know what? A lot of people voted for these boobs. Change and hope were the buzz words of his campaign and we can only now hope that change comes in 2010 and we can get America back on track away from this President who has no clue how to lead a country.

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.

Where's All The Money Coming From?

Lost in all the "stimulus" talk and now with the "budget" coming up and the healthcare package being proposed and this thing and that thing, has anyone yet told us where all this money is coming from? Now, you cannot tell me that there are enough people making over $250K per year to fund all these billions of dollars that all these programs are going to cost. Why should our government set up class warfare where they fund everything on the backs of the five percent or so most successful Americans? That's not fair and I don't think it is possible.

The answer is that you and I and our kids and our grandkids are going to pay for this spending frenzy. We got into a lot of this trouble by borrowing money and now the government is borrowing more money (actually, the woman from Arkansas recently begged the Chinese to buy more of our debt on her initial trip over there) from people who wish us harm and keep poisoning a lot of the products we buy from them. As in every case of loans, this money must be repayed with interest. That money is going to come in the form of higher taxes and a weaker dollar meaning things like milk, bread, clothing will cost us more. Is that a good thing? No, it definitely is not.

What can we do? Well, not much right now, but we have to start supporting those who oppose this reckless spendy spree the likes of which the planet has never seen. We have to ban together and organize this opposition. Protest? Well, yes, peacefully. Write letters. Support those who hold values that oppose "Big Government". Make your voices heard and felt! 2010 will be the first opportunity we have to recapture America and start to undo this mess.

Don't lost heart. This country is bigger than a bunch of socialist, nanny-state loving liberals. But you and I have to get in the game or we'll lose it. We cannot let that happen.

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.

The "O" Speaks!

Well, the President's first speech to a joint session of congress is over! Phew! Wow, so moving. What an orator! What a man! Puhlease! The guy is a savvy, smooth-talkin politician. That's all he is. Along with his sidekick, Rahm Emanuel, he is not letting a good crisis go to waste. Well, they say it's a crisis or at least they were saying that.

Last night we got the Bill Clinton version of the economic mess. Obviously, old Bill has influence, because "O" did exactly what he had suggested, talk optimistically. We got to hear how even in bad times Americans have pulled together and pulled through. We're strong! We aren't quitters! All true, except we didn't have a government putting a strangle-hold on our money and our freedom. Actually, we did once, and that was FDR and his government. They delayed the end of the Great Depression for ten years because of their meddling and bad choices. Read that, they stuck government's giant hand in things and, as usual, made things worse. Experts agree that we would have pulled through quicker if the government hadn't drummed up "The New Deal". It was more like "The Raw Deal". History tells us that's true, however, "O" and his revisionist take on things completely deny that. Not very honest of you, Mr. President.

Of course, he blamed the mess on Bush, who definitely was part of the problem, but the other part was the Democratically-controlled congress led by Democrats Barney Frank and Christ Dodd. I mean, come on, Chris Dodd is the Chairman of the Banking Committee and he didn't see this mess coming?? Wow, nice job there, Chris. You definitely deserve kudos for that. The Democrats fought against further regulation and oversight of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the two main culprits in the housing mess, so they can take credit for that debacle.

Now, they wrote a pork-laden spending bill and our President tells us that they don't want to saddle our children and grandchildren with debt they cannot pay. Earth to O, earth to O, you've already done that by signing this bill! The two percent or so of our richest citizens who are about to get a tax increase do not make sufficient salaries to fund this bill. Uh oh, now what? That's right gang, for those of you who are thinking, higher taxes for all, take a bow.

The "O" can sling words right up with the best of them. but being a good speech maker does not make you a good anything. Having the gift of gab rarely qualifies anyone for anything. Even Bill Murray's Lounge Singer sounded smooth, but of course, that didn't mean he could sing. And, our illustrious President is in that category. One thing he is for sure, though, and that's a slick politician and I don't mean that in a good way. After all, he's from the Chicago school of politics. Also, NOT a compliment.

Our future looks dim, America. It's been mortgaged to the hilt by this President and there's no saying the next president can fix things. We can only hope that by the mid-term elections, we all wake up to the harsh reality that is Obamaworld and we change congress. That's the only thing that might stem the tide of deterioration here in this great land.

We're not dead yet America. However, our doctor is a quack and that's not a good thing for our health. If we rally together around sound ideas and ideals, we can fix this mess. It will have to be without the current government officials, however, and that change will have to take place in 2010.

Stand firm. Keep your eyes open. Don't lose hope.

God bless you and may God have mercy on America.

Stop the Madness

I have been reading and reading and reading all these stories on the web about thie "stimulus" package. It's up to $819B and climbing. Some have said it's headed up into the several trillion dollars. Some say it's not a stiumlus package. Some say it is.

It seems to promote bigger government. Read that more government intervention and control in our lives. Spending more and more money this country doesn't have.

Politicians like Democrat Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, attempted in vain to make the case that somehow providing over $100M for things like condoms would help turn the economy around. Saying, well, more condoms means less babies and somehow that would help the small businessman in Boise, Idaho meet his bills.

At this point, it's gotten so crazy that I think the best thing to do is nothing. Everyone, should stop, take a breath and let a month or two go by so people can relax. The Chosen One keeps making people panicky by saying we have no time to lose and all he's trying to do is shove this whole thing down our throats. He's keeping everyone in a frenzy so we'll buy into this ill-conceived plan.

I say, STOP. Let things settle down. Let the economy find its way.

On another note, can anyone tell me what happened to that first $700B. Does anyone know who has that money and what they are doing with it? While no one in Washington is talking about that they want more and more money on top of that. That's over $1 TRILLION, so far and there are those who say that's not the end. Where will it all end? This is a huge train wreck about to happen to this country and no one seems to want to stop it.

The power hungry Democrats have hit the ground running and they are trying to run this country into the ground with all this frivolous spending in the name of helping the economy which it won't.

Wouldn't it be better if they just took a bunch of this money, say $5000 for every legitimate tax payer of this great land and send it to us? Now, that would stimulate the economy and that would be far less than the $819 Billion they are proposing thus far.

Washington, STOP. You are sending American in the wrong direction. That's not the change we had hoped for.

God bless you and may God have mercy on America.

Hope

Yesterday in the euphoric atmosphere of the inauguration the one word that kept being repeated was hope. The throngs of Obamatrons were bubbling over with the hope that this man will somehow transform their lives. Over 50 million Americans have put their hope in a man.

The real hope of America and, indeed, the world is not Barrack Hussein Obama or any other man, but Jesus Christ. It is this Jesus that came to earth, while man was still sinful and an enemy of God and lived a perfect life, healed those who were physically sick, even raised the dead. He taught lessons on loving God and loving others. Ultimately, He gave His life as the punishment for everyone's sins. He didn't die for His sins, because He is perfect. He died for my sins and your sins. Those sins separate us from God and will keep us from living eternally with Him when we pass from this life. Then, after He was murdered, He rose, alive on the third day to prove once and for all who He is, God. That one moment in history, Jesus showed that He had the authority to say what He said and do what He did.

With His death and resurrection everyone now has a way to establish a relationship with God. This is a relationship that God wants with all of us (1 Timothy 2:4), but we cannot have that relationship if we reject His son (Mark 8:38, John 14:6). So, the only hope that exists today is not in any man or woman or thing or system of government, it is in Jesus Christ, the Savior, Messiah, the Hope of the world.

Today, I hope that you will see the truth, that Jesus and only Jesus is the hope that all of us can count on.

May God bless you.

May God bless America.

Enough is Enough!

OK, is anyone else losing their patience with our representatives in Washington? I know I am.

Who cares about debates when the country is headed down the drain? Who cares what party you belong to when the country is headed down an economic abyss?

These people just don't get it. The country is in trouble and all they can do is play the blame game to try and posture themselves to win an election. I'm sick of it. Are you?

We need an uprising. Not an overthrow of the government, but an uprising of voters or Americans. We need to hold these politicians' feet to the fire until they do something to fix this mess or at least head us down the road to fix it. Enough is enough.

Sure, you can read all kinds of glib comments from all those bloggers out there on one side or the other. They mean nothing at a time like this. We need to fix America and we need to do it now.

This is our economic 9/11. We are being attacked by bad decisions by greedy people. It's an attack on our economic well-being much like Osama Bin Laden's attack on the World Trade Center was. We need to gather up the troops and set off to win this war. Not with guns or missiles, but with sound economic minds coming up with sound approaches to fix this mess.

We don't need Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or Obama accusing McCain of this or that. We need cooperation and results. It's time everyone. Enough is enough.

Why isn't there more of an outcry from us? Is anyone out there? We should be screaming at our representatives to GET THIS DONE! They work for US! Use this link to find out who your representatives are in the House and Senate and tell them to fix this mess!

Let's go America. It's time for us to stand up and be heard!

God bless you and yours and may God bless America!

Obama - Wrong on So Many Issues

How can someone running for arguably the most powerful political position in the world be so wrong on so many issues? Not only does he lack experience, but Barack Obama lacks judgment and possibly moral character. How else can anyone explain his position on the Born Alive Infants Protection Act that protects babies born alive in an attempted abortion? Plainly put, he voted against legislation with the same wording while he was in the Illinois legislature. He voted AGAINST protecting babies born alive from botched abortions! HELLO is anyone out there?

Here's what was happening in a hospital in Chicago. When babies were born alive after an attempted abortion (apparently abortionists don't get it right 100% of the time, thank God), they were putting the babies in a closet or a room and neglecting them until they died. The hospital staff was going against their oath to save lives and just letting the babies dies with no intervention. Sounds like a warm and fuzzy place, doesn't it? Well, someone wrote legislation to protect these innocent, vulnerable babies from being killed. Mr. Obama voted against protecting live babies from being killed through neglect. HE VOTED AGAINST IT! I guess that was another topic above his pay grade.

Innocent babies left dying and Barack Obama did nothing to protect them. That's the bottom line. How can anyone think that this is the kind of "man" that should be President?

Also, guess who Barack's economic advisors are? Guess. Go ahead, I'll give you a minute. (the theme from Jeopardy is playing right now)

Alright, time is up! And heeeere they arrrrrrrre!

They are three Democrats with close ties to Obama who served as Fannie Mae executives: Franklin Raines, former Clinton administration budget director; James Johnson, former aide to Democratic Vice President Walter Mondale; and Jamie Gorelick, former Clinton administration deputy attorney general.

All three Obama-related executives earned millions in compensation from Fannie Mae.

James Johnson earned $21 million in just his last year at Fannie Mae as CEO. He was there for seven years from 1991 to 1998. Mr. Raines earned $90 million in his five years as Fannie Mae CEO, from 1999 to 2004. Mr.Gorelick earned an about $26 million Vice Chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003, according to author David Frum, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

All three have been involved in mortgage-related financial scandals.

These people are "advising" Obama. Wow, good judgment Barack!

Check out this article, "Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac execs now offering advice to Obama" on WorldNet Daily that details more about this story.

How can one man be so wrong on so many important issues? He's was wrong about the surge in Iraq. He's wrong on protecting babies. He's wrong about energy. He's wrong on the economy. He's worng on protecting this country. He associates with the wrong people. He's wrong for this country.

God bless you and may God bless America!
