GENERATIONAL BRAIN WASHING…


Blog Post B - Generational Brain Washing

One of the reasons I am not supportive of the U.S. Department of Education is the complete erosion of factual history and the complete revision of other disciplines.  The revisionist of the left have virtually rewritten our history.  We now have a generation that has been exposed to the New History and New Science since Kindergarten and many of them now have college degrees and even advanced degrees and it has completely shaped their worldview.

The liberal left virtually controls Education, especially at the institutions of higher learning as colleges and universities are called.  Anyone that disagrees with their ideological beliefs and views is ostracized, shamed, ridiculed and made to appear ignorant, intolerant and failing to progress and evolve with societal changes and mores.  Innocent young minds are conditioned at an early age to ‘accept’ the leftist pabulum and believe that if it is in the textbooks it has been validated, examined, tested and proven as factual.  Professors become virtual gods and students parrot the dogma presented either out of fear of receiving a bad mark or failure to use rational reason.

When education becomes a ward of the Federal Government and Institutions of learning become factories of liberal, environmental and progressive thought it is dangerous.  When successive generations are funneled through that system without a counter argument from parents, media, educators, politicians and/or clergy the Generational Brain Washing is complete and effective.  Are we now at the place where a 2nd or 3rd generation of students have come forth?  If we are and I fear we are then Constitutional Conservatism will be dealt a blow that will prove to be incredibly difficult to overcome and the Republic is hanging by a thread.

Blog Post B - Brain Washed

           I saw a recent poll that stated that revealed that over 54% of Americans believe that Hillary Clinton is dishonest and untrustworthy and only 38% believe her.  However, 62% of those consider her a capable strong leader and presidential material.  In head to head polls with Republicans she beats them all which is mind-numbing to me.  How can you consider her dishonesty, untruthfulness, culpability in Benghazi and more and still support her for President of these United States?  Have we been so brain washed and our moral values so eroded that this is the state of American politics?

Let me state that I believe in Education!  I believe that the information presented to young minds should be factual, informative and create an environment for them to inquire, investigate, examine, test and process.  It should cause them to THINK not simply become parrots of an ideology or theory presented as Law and Gospel by those molding and shaping their young and impressionable minds.  We should be producing people who have a quest of truth and determined to test and prove theorems and theories rather than being echoes of their professors.

Generational Brain Washing has been the objective of groups such as the Fabian Socialist for over 100 years.  It is the demonstrated objective of many educational groups and organizations.  In my view, seeking to Brain Wash young minds is demonstrating a lack of confidence in your belief and fear that if allowed to think for themselves they will disprove your argument.  It is a cowardly approach to education and life.

Blog Post B - Education

            Education and being informed are incredibly important components for an individual or nation which makes honesty, integrity and transparency requisite for political office.  If something is true it will bear examination and exposure to differing views.  If it is not true and only a hypothesis rather than proven fact then it should be, no must be tested.  How are we to combat this societal and educational dilemma?  They reject us as lunatics and fringe thinkers so we have no inroad to educate them.  They consider any conservative news outlet, blog or educator as out of touch so they do not listen.  We are tuned out before we are able to present our argument and sadly many Republican politicians are incapable of articulating the conservative philosophy and come across as ‘deniers without a reasoned argument.’

How do we combat this?  We must outnumber them at the polls.  We must somehow get the attention of those elected to hear and heed our voices.  We must become a nation of prayer once again for I am convinced that short of a miracle from God we have waited too long to become active, engaged and enraged at the assault on our Constitution, Freedom and Nation.  If we do not wake up, rise up, and stand we have lost!   You may find politics distasteful and even disgusting but if you treasure Freedom and Liberty you sometimes have to wade into the mud and push the wagon.

            God help us and God bless America!

 

GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT DECEIVE US, Would They?


Blog Post A - Mass Deception

In a perfect world, No.  But last time I checked we are not living in that place or condition.  Used car salesmen get a bad rap in the stereotype of all being shysters, crooks, cheats and con men and some are but it is unfair to lump all car salesmen or any salesman in that same pile.  I sold cars for a short time and refused to be dishonest.  It eventually cost me my job but my integrity was worth more than any sale.

John Adams once said, “There is danger from all men.  The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.”  That was incredibly wise and even prophetic when we look back on American and world history.  Even Franklin D. Roosevelt, a president that would have suspended the constitution for his personal political end said, “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.  The ultimate rulers of our democracy (republic) are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.”  I somehow feel we have lost sight of that and feel certain that those in Washington do not agree, believe or intend for that to ever be reality again.  Power corrupts and ultimate power corrupts ultimately!  Thomas Jefferson said, “A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.” 

There was a time when politicians and citizens recognized and respected the constitution and that WE THE PEOPLE were supposed to be the FINAL VOICE and VOTE in all matters government.  That ship has sailed and while Barack H. Obama promised in his first campaign to be President that his would be the most TRANSPARENT administration in American history transparency seems to be that they have no regard for the people or the constitution.

Blog Post A - Media

            One can claim to have done great things, get people in powerful positions of influence using vast mediums of dispensing information to agree but that does not mean it is true.  One can plan deception and weave a web of deceit so intricate that even those closest to it are baffled by it and begin to believe it but it is still deception.  History is replete with examples of how Tyrants used deception and distortion in the guise of government helping to seize power and become tyrannical despots.  Is America in the process of succumbing?

Adolf Hitler was declared “Time’s Man of the Year” in 1938 and campaigned on a platform of benefit of the people.  How did that work out?  Hitler was a despotic madman with an evil agenda and hatred for Free Governments.  He ‘fundamentally transformed’ German into his evil empire and was a clear threat to the entire Free World and even much of the Communist World.

Josef Stalin was the “Man of the Year” in 1939 and 1942 a man that FDR called ‘Uncle Joe’ during the 1930’s.  He exterminated at least 20 million of his own people but campaigned as a man of and for the people and against those of power and position.  Sound familiar?  How did that work out for Russia or the Soviet Empire?

Nikita Khrushchev was “Man of the Year” in 1957.  He proudly declared, “We will not have to destroy America with missiles; America will destroy itself from within.”  Could it be that he saw through the crystal ball of life and knew what was happening with the Fabian Socialist and other Anti-American factions slowing making headway within our government?

The Ayatollah Khomeini was the “Man of the Year” in 1979.  A despot who rose to power with the help of Jimmy Carter and waged savagery on his own people using the youth to torture, rape and execute political opposition.  Ronald Reagan called him, “a maniacal fanatic who has slaughtered thousands and thousands of people, calling it executions.”

Those are just a few.  Cuba’s revolution heralded a Freedom Fighter in Fidel Castro supposedly with the interest of the Cuban people at the heart of his campaign.  How has that worked out?   We could cite case after case of Despotic Tyrants in history and almost every time the common theme would be “We are here to help!”   With that kind of help we need no opposition. 

Blog Post A - Racist

Today we are labeled ‘racist’, ‘phobes’, ‘bigots’ or something worse if we oppose what the bloated, overreaching and intrusive Big Government is doing.  After all, we are supposed to quietly, passively be docile, drink the Kool-Aid and praise the work of THE GOVERNMENT.  They would never deceive us, would they?   After all the government is US, isn’t it?  Therefore, if it is deceiving us then we are deceiving ourselves.   We can be sheep or citizens.  We can think or be mindlessly ignorant and fail to even casually observe.   Big Government is not the friend of Freedom and never will be.   WHAT SHALL WE DO AMERICA?  WHAT SHALL WE DO?

            God bless you and God bless America!

HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THE CONFLICT…


Blog Post 1 - Double Standards

We are informed by many that we must be respectful and tolerant of the followers of Islam’s religious stance concerning cartoons or references to their prophet Muhammad.  Those who declare and demand that demand it selectively but have a significant double standard when it comes to respecting the beliefs of the followers of Christ.  I find that difficult to rationalize.

Muslim’s want Shira Law imposed on everyone and often the jihadist are painted as victims rather than purveyors of their brand of religious intolerance.  Anyone who speaks against the terrorism, abuse and murder at their hands are labeled as ‘haters’, ‘Islamaphobes’ or ‘racist’.  The same goes for anyone criticizing anyone of color especially the current president, Attorney General or any public figure who is non-white.  Yet, the left can attack Christian beliefs vehemently, call conservatives all kinds of vile names, slander their character and brand them evil.  The double standard is glaring and I cannot imagine anyone not seeing it so I must conclude that it is excused and deemed desirable to launch assaults on Christianity and Constitutional Conservatism.

Blog Post 1 - Double Standard 1

We are supposed to be careful not to offend the Muslim’s regarding their prophet but it is open season on corporations or individuals who take a religious stance regarding abortion, same sex marriages, etc.  That is quite a double standard.  My immediate question in this is:  “If it is considered reprehensible, bigoted, homophobic and/or racist for Christians to stand against homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion, etc. why are the Muslims not also condemned for their opposition to homosexuality?”  In the Muslim world child abuse and physical abuse of women is acceptable but were that practiced by Christians it would be condemned.  It seems there is selective tolerance and condemnation practiced. 

I would argue that it is not about ‘equality’ or ‘tolerance’ but a political tool to gain Democrat control in Congress and the White House.  The media supports this narrative and agenda as do an alarming number of religious leaders and institutions.  In the world of Islam there is no uniformity in interpretation of their book nor is there in the world of Christianity.  However all Muslims agree in the demand of tolerating their beliefs without consent for other faiths to express their beliefs.  In Muslim countries it is illegal to proselytize and anyone preaching Christ or Judaism could and likely would be jailed or executed.

This administration finds it impossible or distasteful to identify ISIS or other Islamic jihadist and terrorist as Islamic but finds it easy and palatable to castigate Christians over the centuries old Crusades.  Islam is intolerant but demands that everyone be tolerant toward them much like the Progressives and Liberals want to exercise their freedom of speech but censor anyone with an opposing view.  The double standard is incredible.

Blog Post 1 - Religion

            I may or may not agree with some actions by those who are defending and exercising their right of Freedom of Speech but I defend their right to exercise that right without fear of a terrorist assault as was in Garland, Texas or Charlie Hebdo in France.  It is one thing to picket, boycott or protest peaceably and quite another to launch an attack in a hail of bullets.  That should be condemned immediately and uniformly by all including those who claim to be Moderate Muslims.  If Islam is a religion of peace then where is the outcry against the violence, murder and mayhem?  If Islam is a religion based on love where is the demonstration of tolerance toward people who hold a differing religious point of view.

The vileness that comes from the jihadist, terrorist and activist on the left promoting things that are diametrically opposite of most Christians is reprehensible.  If anyone on the Right were to adopt the tactics used by the Islamic jihadist, terrorist and activist I would call it reprehensible as well.  The First Amendment belongs to everyone who is a legal American citizen.  Non-citizens in other countries of the world enjoy NO RIGHTS but expect to be afforded the rights, privileges and protection of our American Constitution.  That is a double standard and the left exercises it so long as is it politically expedient for their cause.

America it is time to wake up, stand up and speak up in support of the Constitution of these United States of America.  We must demand our country back.  God help us see the Republic restored.   May God bless you and God bless America!

NOTHING BUT DEATH AND TAXES…


Blog Post 4 - Death and Taxes

The well-known saying, “There is nothing certain but death and taxes” often attributed to Benjamin Franklin was likely uttered long before by Daniel Defoe in “The Political History of the Devil”, 1726 when he wrote, “Things as certain as death and taxes, can be more firmly believed.”  The variations of that are with us today.  Although the push by many politicians is that taxes extend beyond death and you are taxed in death too.  That is not something our founding fathers would have embraced nor should we.

In fact, our founding fathers were opposed to taxing income and although they understood that the federal government had to have sources of revenue to function they did not want it to become the monster it is today.  They believed that, in taxes, there should be both uniformity and equal protection afforded not a Progressive Income Tax system as we have today.  I can only imagine the response of those men who hammered out the Constitution and Bill of Rights to today’s American Tax Code.  The Boston Tea Party would probably pale in comparison to what they would suggest.

Blog Post 4 - Progressive Taxes

In an excellent article regarding The Progressive Income Tax in U.S. History by Burton Folsom we are reminded of the words of James Madison regarding this monstrosity when Mr. Madison declared that the ‘spirit of party and faction’ would prevail in Congress if they were allowed to tax one group of citizens and confer the benefits to another.  They were adamantly opposed to allowing politicians target groups of citizens and ‘redistribute the wealth’ via taxation or any other means.  Personal property was considered sacred and one’s income or wealth was considered personal property. 

We know from history that during the Civil War a progressive income tax was advanced and while the maximum rate was 10% it was still a progressive tax and foreign to the constitution and desires of the founders.  It was repealed in 1872 when Representative Justin Morrill of Vermont decried it saying, “In this country we neither create nor tolerate any distinction of rank, race, or color, and should not tolerate anything else than entire equality in our taxes.”  That lasted until 1894 when Congress launched another attempt to target the rich but that law was declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the Supreme Court.  Completely unlike today’s Justices.  But alas, the quest for revenue never seems to die among politicians for in 1913 Congress proposed a Constitutional Amendment permitting a Progressive Income Tax and it was RATIFIED.  Shame on them and shame on the American people for buying the spin thus altering our Constitution from the spirit and letter.

The tax rates initially were capped at a very low rate but under Presidents like Hoover and Roosevelt the tax rate became permanently fixed and escalated to ridiculous percentages when in 1941 it grew to 94% under Roosevelt.  I know there was a War being waged but his proposal was a 99.5% marginal rate on all income over $100,000 and allowed income to be taxed at the marginal rate of 90%.  That is governmental theft and should have infuriated every American but didn’t.  No the War effort was touted and the class warfare was launched and we still have that warfare today, to our hurt.

Blog Post 4 - Vote Buying

            The Progressive Tax System has become nothing more than a tool for the left and some on the Republican side to use for ‘vote buying’, ‘redistributing the wealth’ and creating a ‘permanent dependent class’ of citizens.  Everyone does not have skin in the game and therefore the class warfare and envy must be kept alive to insure that the public will allow politicians to continue their theft by government.

The Tax Code does not need to be reformed or modified it needs to be TOSSED OUT completely and replaced with a Fair and Equitable Code.  That can only be accomplished by a Fair or Flat Tax and then with careful examination of loopholes, deductions and exemptions afforded.  We need to reach a place where government is not allowed to ‘redistribute the wealth’, ‘tax death’ or utilize taxation as a political tool to buy votes and ensure that entire segments of society are locked into dependence on a political party.

            May God bless you and may God bless America!

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE…


Blog Post A - Worlds Collide

It really doesn’t matter what we are talking about but when differing worldviews collide there are always casualties and frequently that includes the truly innocent.  We are living in a world where opposing worldviews politically, religiously, economically and socially are on collision courses and the fallout will be massive.

Blog Post A - Religion

In the realm of religious beliefs we have opposing views with Islam on one side and every other religion in the world on the other.  War makes strange bedfellows it would seem but the two specifically in the cross-hairs of the fundamental followers of Islam are Christianity and Judaism.  We are seeing an ever rising tide of violence and brutality by Islamic jihadist toward both and the slaughter is reigning havoc and destruction on a host of people who are other than direct participants.  It is causing a level of distrust and animosity toward all Muslims by many because of fear due to what the jihadist are doing and if allowed to continue will eventually plunge the worldwide shooting war.  This, I believe, is predicted in the Bible and we are living in the generation observing it being walked out in real time and reality.

Blog Post A - Social

In the social realm of society we have opposing views on any number of things including same sex marriage, racial relations, abortion and many others that is triggering an outburst by what appears to often be small groups of well-organized activist having a social and economic impact on innocent bystanders.  Jobs are being lost due, lives traumatized so severely that some are having experiences that can only be likened to PTSD of our military.  (I do not want to disparage our troops but the trauma is real in this).  The sentiments on both sides of these issues is often deeply rooted and not easily quieted and anytime worlds collide people are hurt.  Again, I personally believe this is described in the Bible as characteristics of the Last Days that we are watching unfold before our eyes.

Blog Post A - Ecomomy

In the economic realm the opposing worlds of Free Market Capitalism and Marxist- Socialism with its redistribution mindset, jealousy toward success and quest for power and control the collision has been large but will become more pronounced in the days to come.  Groups such as the SEIU, this administration and various leftist activist groups are driving businesses from this country and out of business because of the regulations, demands, and costs.  Some want to put the blame on corporations and mom and pop businesses for wanting to make a profit and rail against the rich but if there were no corporations or small business people willing to invest and risk what would that do to the jobs market?  People that have no real interest in either side of this argument but simply want to work and earn a living are being damaged by the collision of these two worlds.  It is happening in real time and reality and those who have lost a job or find one comparable are among those being injured.

Blog Post A - Politics

In the realm of politics the war between the two major parties is often more about control than upholding the Constitution or in the interest of the American people and who gets hurt when those two worlds collide?  Not the politicians but Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen.  That person who wants to live in a Free Society, earn a living, care for their own and basically be left alone are the ones who most frequently feel the pinch of the political wars.  Politicians are all about POWER and MONEY not about Public Service and People.  I can understand why some have become so turned off by the political jockeying of the differing political worlds and have checked out refusing to vote or participate in the discussion.  They consider both major parties and some lesser parties, just variations of each other and to a degree they are right. 

My concern is that if we check out on any of those fronts we are not exempted from the fallout of the collisions.  If we check out, our detachment can empower both sides of that collision leaving them with no real feedback from the public about what we see, feel, believe, desire and demand.  They will continue to pad their bank accounts, create their networks, entrench themselves in the power grid and the average citizen will pay the price.  If it only affected the generation in which it occurred I’d say, “Fine, you allowed it you pay the penalty.”  It does not and successive generations who were not part of the process and innocent will suffer the most and that is tragic.  That is one of the many reasons I cannot be SILENT and will pray earnestly and work diligently for a Restored Republic in America.

            God bless you and God bless America!

JUST BECAUSE IT IS HISTORIC DOES NOT MAKE IT GOOD….


Blog Post 1 - Historic

We could be talking about anything but I am specifically talking about the two previous presidential elections and the one upcoming.  A significant number of people told me in 2008 they were voting for Barack H. Obama because it would be HISTORIC.  They gushed over what that would say to the world about how America had evolved socially, racially and politically to have the first black president.  I asked some of those same people before the 2012 elections of they were going to vote for the first black president again and some of them were almost violent in their antagonism toward me while some acknowledged they would.  I had one person say, “The first time was historic the second time is lunacy.”  Yet, he was given two terms in the Oval Office.

The dismantling of our Healthcare or Health Insurance industry alone is tragic.  But when you factor in the dismantling, shredding, side-stepping of the constitution, the fundamental transformation of our nation, eradication of our borders, the purging of our military, the increase in government regulations, the scandals and Gestapo like tactics of various governmental agencies such as the IRS, EPA and others this HISTORIC event has been incredibly detrimental for America and our Republic.  It was Historic but just because something is historic does not make it good or even desirable.

  Blog Post 1 - First

Some of those same people who voted for Barack H. Obama in 2008 are now telling me they plan to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016 presuming she is the Democrat nominee because it would be HISTORIC.  Frankly, I have given up trying to talk to, educate or debate them for when one is that willfully out of touch logical and rational discussion is impossible.  HISTORIC?  Anyone that casts a ballot simply on the basis of gender or race is either racist, sexist or cretinous or all the above.

It would be HISTORIC for an earthquake of such epic proportions that the entire state of California crumbled into the sea but would that be good?  It would be HISTORIC for a hurricane of such size and power that the entire East Coast were destroyed but would that be good?  It would be HISTORIC for an EMT to be detonated in our atmosphere rendering the entire nation paralyzed electronically but would that be good?  Just because something is HISTORIC does not mean it is good and often it is the opposite.  It could be argued that it was HISTORIC for Hitler and the Nazi’s to commit the acts of the Holocaust but that does not mean it was good!  NO, just being historic does not equal being beneficial.

Blog Post 1 - Hindenberg

Politically, a Hillary presidency might be HISTORIC but would be more than Obama Part 2 it would be to ‘fast forward’ his agenda and prove to be even more destructive and detrimental for the American Experiment given us by the Founding Fathers.  I would like to see something HISTORIC transpire in the 2016 elections but not a Hillary presidency.  I have no problem with electing the first woman as president nor did I have a problem with the idea of a black man being president.  It is not what that is problematic for me it is who or whom.  If we take the pathway of voting to be HISTORIC then what is next?  Is it then incumbent upon us to elect the FIRST openly ‘gay’ president?  How about the FIRST openly ‘Muslim’ president?  (I did say openly).  That mindset is one that I pray dies away before the next elections but fear it will not.

Blog Post 1 - Novel Idea

How about this novel idea:  “Elect a president who actually loves America, honors the Constitution, will follow the Rule of Law, and considers National Security, Border Security and National Sovereignty important.”   THAT WOULD BE HISTORIC in our day!  Character and commitment to country were requirements in our past but in our present PC World seem to be viewed as detriments rather than benefits.  HISTORIC? 

Someone told me recently, “I want to be part of history.”  I must have had a stunned or amused look on my face based on their reaction and then said, “You are part of history.”  You may not be a major player in the facets of it but you are part of it.  I want to vote HISTORIC in 2016 and cast my ballot to elect a truly Conservative, Constitutional American who loves this nation, honors the Constitution and believes in the American Republic.

            May God be with you as you go through your day!

EXECUTIVE BULLYING COMING TO A HEAD…


Blog Post C - Enough

I had a fellow Christian ask, “Why do you hate Barack Obama so much?”  They were serious and I did not immediately dismiss the question but carefully examined my heart and weighed my response.  It is a serious allegation and one that I do not take lightly.  I refused to allow myself to become offended by the charge or question but rather to honestly examine my heart and answer the question.

I can honestly say that I DO NOT HATE the man Barack Obama.  I detest his policies, actions, ideology, politics and destructive actions toward America, our Freedom and the Constitution.  That I readily confess but I do not hate the individual.  I suspect that the driving force behind his actions goes beyond ideology and is spiritual in nature although not Christian.

Blog Post C - Bullying Stop

It has been my observation over my few decades of existence on planet earth that a bully can only push so long before those being pushed push back.  I am concerned that this is the objective to push until some push back and open the door for a far more extensive use of Executive Orders to quell any civil disturbance that might ensue.  Over the past six years while in the White House he has repeatedly fanned the flames of division, hatred, racial discord, and anti-American sentiment.  He has taken actions that are certainly extra-constitutional if not outright unconstitutional, ignored the courts, congress and the voters.  He has exhibited all the characteristics of a tyrannical dictator who truly believes it is his destiny and right to RULE not govern but rule.

He has recently taken steps to grant amnesty to millions of illegals and now the mandate to all government personnel under his administration to cease calling ILLEGALS illegal and call them “Americans in Waiting.”  WHAT?  Before anyone tries to chastise me and declare that those from the other side of both borders are Americans (North Americans) might I suggest that neither, the Canadians or Mexicans consider themselves Americans but Canadians or Mexicans!  No one saying, American is thinking the generic North American but United States citizens.  So please do not approach the argument from the technicality of North America including Mexico, Canada and the U.S.A.  These ILLEGALS are not “Americans in Waiting” they are ILLEGALS and should be treated as such.  Mr. Obama has decreed that there will be ‘consequences’ for any ICE or government enforcement person who does not carry out his ILLEGAL Executive Order and carefully protect those ILLEGALS.

Blog Post C - Obama King 

He proposed Executive Order to enact back door ‘gun control’ by targeting .5.56 M885 (.223) ammunition used by more than the AR15 rifle. He and they are calling it ‘armor piercing’ ammunition allowing sweeping classification and justifications to eliminate the ammunition rendering the rifles that use it useless.  He knows he cannot get Congress or the Court to give him legislation to ‘ban guns’ but since he has issued illegal order after illegal order with impunity why not take the next step?  Will his actions and that of the ATF be effective?  Although they have backed of briefly does not mean they have vacated the idea or plan.  I do not know with Congress being so weak-willed but I do not think Mr. Obama believes that millions of Americans will passively submit to the confiscation of our firearms and knows that there will likely be some type of confrontation sooner or later.  Is he trying to drive us to a civil war or something akin to the American Revolution?  I hope not but suspect that is exactly what he wants.  He has lived as Emperor for six years and those throughout the world he most admires are tyrants, dictators, despots and iron fisted rulers. 

The FCC under his direction and influence have moved forward to allow and enable the federal government to control the internet which will destroy freedom of the press and speech via that medium.  The Treasury will not explain a decision to make $3 Billion in Obamacare payments to the House Ways and Means Committee.  Where is all this leading?  If the direction continues there will be a push back from Americans.  Will the black community wake up and realize that he does not have their backs or will the seeds of hatred and bias prevent millions for awakening?  Will the Hispanics wake up and realize that they are nothing more than pawns that he and the leftist are using to dominate, control and rule?  If they along with the millions of so-called moderates and independents realize the game being played and the stakes America will see another revolt against a government gone rogue.  I AM NOT CALLING FOR WAR OR VIOLENCE.  I DO NOT WANT IT.  I am concerned that the Executive bullying will push America into a place where our police and military have to make difficult choices with regard to our Republic and Citizens.

Blog Post C - Jefferson

We are living in some incredibly perilous and dangerous times and I will continue to pray for the souls of the individuals.  I will also work to expose their tactics, strategies and plans.  I love my God, my family, my freedom and my country and pray that Congress do their jobs, the courts do their jobs, the police and military do the right thing and America awakens from out of slumber.  If the sleeping giant of the multitudes ever awaken we will see a restored America but if they do not we are witnessing the demise of America as described in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

            God bless you and God bless America!

WHAT ABOUT EXPERIENCE???


Blog Post A - Experience

I have heard for almost seven years now that we should have elected a president with more experience.  I do not necessarily disagree but I must ask, “Would more experience have changed Barack Obama?”  He is what he is because of his mentoring, training, beliefs, ideology and political faith not because of lack of experience.  In fact I would argue that had he had more executive experience he might have been even more destructive and dangerous not less.  He would have learned more ways to subvert the constitution, by-pass Congress and the courts.  No experience is not his problem political ideology is.

 Blog Post A - Character

That brings me to the 2016 elections and the theory of experience in the candidates.  I am less concerned about executive experience than I am character.  I am not discounting experience for I consider it a valuable tool in helping an individual hone their skills as an executive and leader but if there are bankrupt in character they will NEVER be a good leader.  They may be adept in getting their agenda enacted in to law and swaying public opinion but their heart will not be honoring the constitution and doing what is best for the American people. Character is not learned through experience it will be demonstrated and rise to the surface during experiences.  What we need is not someone with a long resume of executive experience but lacking in moral mooring and character.  It would be wonderful to have a candidate who has both experience and character and a demonstrated resolve to stand firm in their defense of the Constitution of this Republic, the United States of America.

I do believe that former governors have valuable executive experience but do not discount people from private industry or congress.  If the sole qualification is having been a governor of a state large or small then I am unimpressed.  If the sole argument against the candidate is they have not served a full term in congress or never held a political office then I am not dissuaded in possibly supporting them.  As I stated previously, the top requisites for me are:  character, conservativism, constitutionalism and commitment to America and the Constitution.  Without those we will get nothing more than politics as usual albeit the politician may be polished having honed their political skills extensively.

Blog Post A - Accountability

I heard a talk show host declare that Hillary would likely not run due to the email scandal and would decide it is just too much to overcome.  I called the show but could not hold long enough to actually get on the air to counter that hypothesis.  Hillary has observed the lack of being held accountable by the current president for going on seven years.  She came through Benghazi largely unscathed and Whitewater had little impact.  She observed her husband Teflon Bill dodge bullet after bullet politically with no real impact.  She has been schooled in the art of deception watching the IRS scandal being swept under the rug, the Veteran’s Administration issue fading into a distant memory and many other things.  She and the Democrats have invested too much into her for her to even consider stepping aside.  The media has been the Democrat lapdog and the polls (real or fictional) are indicating she would beat any of the Republicans by double digits.  If that is being sold to the American public would you step back?  Only if your character demanded you to do so and since I do not see the evidence of character in her I would expect her to run and probably be the Democrat nominee.

What experience has Hillary or any of the candidates had running a nation such as the United States of America?  She claims to have been co-president but the last time I checked we do not have such an animal in American politics or in the constitution.  So while she was first-lady or first-woman she WAS NOT PRESIDENT.

 Blog Post A - Most Important

I would argue that it would serve us well to move toward making CHARACTER the top qualification not EXPERIENCE.  We do not need an experienced professional politician who will grow government, further subvert our rights and liberties and further transform this Republic in to an Oligarchy or Tyranny.  We need another Washington, Jefferson, Coolidge or Reagan.  We need a man or woman regardless of ethnicity or experience who is articulate, committed to the constitution of this nation and will advance the policies that made this America great.

            God bless you and God bless America!

Seriously I need to find some to enable me to see the world through a Utopian paradigm as so many seem to, especially those on the far left and the Republican establishment.  I sometimes think I’m back in the 60’s and they have found the stash of psychedelic drugs that were in prevalent use in that era.  Although I did not use them I knew some who did and they would describe the Kaleidoscope world they saw saying, “It’s, cool man.”  Yeah right! 

I saw a poll some time back which declared Mitt Romney as the top choice of Republicans for president followed by Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.  Mitt Romney has since dropped out of consideration and Jeb Bush announced that after discussing with his family the type of leadership needed in America he was launching his pre-campaign campaign.  It is not that I just don’t want another Bush in the White House it is that I don’t want this Bush in the White House.  I do not want another liberal RINO at the top of the ticket and I most assuredly do not want any Republican that the uber-liberal Alan Colmes thinks is great.  If Mr. Colmes thinks Jeb Bush will be the next president and is okay with that the alarm bells begin ringing within my heart and head and I have to ask, “What is it about Jeb Bush that Mr. Colmes likes?”  Well, Mr. Bush is pro-Amnesty, pro-spending, pro-big government, and pro so many things that I am opposed to I pray that none of the top three in the polls are the nominee.  That being said, the Establishment Republicans will get their script from the media and leftist and promote someone unacceptable from a Constitutional or Conservative viewpoint.  Nothing new in that but where are those Utopian Glasses when I need them?

Blog Post - Liberal Utopia

The liberals and many on the Republican side truly believe that if we grow government big enough, spend enough and have enough regulations, entitlement programs, and kowtow enough to our enemies America and our world will become a literal utopia.  Mr. Bush’s father was pro-world government, his brother while strong in national defense and support of the military was weak on many other fronts.  People are not going to beat their swords into plow shears and the weapons of war into pruning hooks UNTIL Jesus returns.  It is not going to happen by growing government, throwing money problems or negotiating some type of superficial settlement.  It is not going to happen by banning firearms or trying to play nice with terrorist and refusing to identify who and what they are.  It is not going to happen by waging shooting wars against anyone who disagrees with us.  Wars may be necessary or unavoidable from time to time but will never produce UTOPIA.

What we need is a true constitutional conservative at the top of the ticket who is capable of articulating what we believe not just what we are opposed to.  We do not need another milquetoast politician who has virtually zero concern for the constitution or the will of the people.  We need someone who embraces the views upon which our nation was founded, respects the rights of the people, defends the constitution and secures the borders. We need someone who will strengthen our national defense, reduce spending, advance a plan to reduce the deficit and shrink the overall size and scope of the federal government taking steps to return us to a Constitutional Republic.  But since that is not likely to happen with the current figures in power within both parties I need someone to hook me up with some Utopian Glasses so I can begin to sing ‘kum ba yah’ and fantasize about the Utopian world we are creating.

Blog Post - Change

In our most recent mid-term elections we sent a clear message to Congress and the White House that we wanted CHANGE but not that which Obama was selling.  We were tired of the Republican wimpishness and wanted a demonstration of political fortitude to take a stand against Obamacare, Amnesty and the abuse of power by the White House.  We wanted and want our borders secured, our national defense strong, our constitution honored and our laws enforced.  We want reduced spending, intervention in the addiction the federal government has to money and power and separation of powers in the federal government.  But, since that does not seem to be a possibility someone give me a lead on where I can purchase a pair of Utopian glasses so I won’t see the dangers looming on the horizon and can bury my head in the sand along with the millions who are oblivious to the impending destruction.

In case you failed to tune in to the sarcasm, some of what I am saying is with ‘tongue in cheek’.  However most of my friends are intelligent thinking patriots who caught it immediately.  We need a Moses, not a Christian Bale Moses but a Bible Moses to step forward and lead us out of bondage.

            God help us is my cry!  God wake us up is my plea!  God restore us is my desire!  God bless you and God bless America!

THE LONG TERM COST OF LIBERALISM…


Blog Post 1 - Liberalism

Today many are focused on the end of the eight year reign of Barack Obama as though once his term is over that is the end of the damage but IT IS NOT!  The destruction he has inflicted upon America and our system of government is so far reaching and long lasting he has literally achieved his goal of ‘fundamental transformation’ of America.  The sad reality is that there are still millions who would vote for him again if he were allowed to run for a third term and that speaks to the real condition in our Republic or what used to be a Republic.

Blog Post 1 - Amnesty

EXECUTIVE AMNESTY is one area in which we will be impacted negatively for decades if not permanently.  Tragically, should it be allowed to stand will be the death knell in a Free Constitutional America.  Going beyond the obvious desire of liberalism to solidify their power and voting bases with these ready-made Democrat voters who will be beholding to the leftist and government there is another issue that will likely destroy Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the future.  I will completely sidestep the issue and cost of Medicare and Medicaid and address a report by Robert Rector, a senior fellow at the Heritage Institute.  In that report Rector stated, and it appears that he is being conservative in his estimates, that it will cost $1.3 TRILLION in lifetime Social Security benefits alone.  His calculations are based on only 3.97 million ILLEGALS applying for and receiving ‘legal status’ under the Deferred Action for Parents of U.S. citizens.  He further estimates that they would receive $7.8 BILLION annually in Earned Income Credit and Refundable Child Tax Credit and that it could escalate to as much as $23.5 BILLION.  Each DAPA eligible family already receives approximately $6,600 in welfare benefits and that will exponentially increase under Obama Amnesty.  Then you factor in Obamacare benefits and numerous other government entitlements and the figures continue to soar.  Simply, we CANNOT AFFORD Obama Amnesty!

Blog Post 1 - EPA

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY is another agency that is being used to wage war on our rights and liberties as citizens.  There are so many things to cite time and space would not allow an exhaustive list but one new one is they moved forward with what they are calling “WaterSense H2Otel Challenge” in February 2014 designed to identify how much individual water guests of hotels use for showers and encourage hotels to insure that people do not use water excessively.  This is being done as a voluntary program but like all things government voluntary becomes mandatory and ultimately usurps the constitution and our unalienable rights as citizens.  I am opposed to wasting water but would never want the federal government to mandate how much you can use in a shower in a hotel.  In my neighborhood I watched a road construction and city work crew turn on 4″-6″ pipes and pump water through them for days on end while the public was on water restrictions.  Car washes were able to use whatever they desires for business but I could only water my lawn on certain days and certain hours.  The situation of driving farmers out of business in California in the interest of saving a fish still chaps me royally so don’t get me started.

Blog Post 1 - ATF

THE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS AGENCY’s actions are so far reaching and overreaching that they have almost become a para-legislative entity operating outside any legitimate oversight and without accountability to anyone but the President.  Their most recent move and subsequent backing off the AR-15 ammunition ban which is not a dead issue is an example of their apparent view of themselves as a virtual S.S. agency of Barack Obama.

THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS of Agencies, Sub-Agencies, Departments, and Sub-Departments within the federal government trampling on the constitution and our liberties and rights that go unnoticed and live beyond administrations.  They have become autonomous and virtually untouchable shielded from and effective congressional oversight and out of sight of WE THE PEOPLE.  All this is foreign to the Republic that our founders envisioned but a condition the federal bureaucracy has created and we have allowed to become reality.  STOPPING it now is almost impossible without a TOTAL RECONSTRUCTION of the federal government and that is not possible without men and women in Congress, the Courts and the White House who honor the Constitution and have enough fortitude and integrity to do what they were elected or nominated to do – PROTECT AND DEFEND the Constitution of these United States. 

God help us if we do not regain control of this monster now known as the federal government.  May God bless you and may God bless America again!
