LET’S JUST LEGISLATE OUR VIEWS AND OUTLAW ALL OTHERS…


 

Image

            My title is completely ‘tongue in cheek’ and I do believe you can see how we might run into a small problem with that approach?  What if we do not all agree on what is to be outlawed?  Even those within the various political, social, financial, or religious sectors do not all agree so there would be elements of those groups unhappy with a particular piece of legislation making it impossible to accomplish. Legislating behavior, belief, or thought is not only, not practical it is not possible not to mention the violations to our American Constitution, rights, and liberties.

             YET there are more and more people including this administration wanting to do just that.  There are those on the liberal side of the equation who are willing to completely rescind the 1st Amendment (for conservatives) in order to silence all affronts to the liberal ideology and to silence all conservative ideology because they consider it harmful to the liberal cause and society.  Therefore they are perfectly willing to have federal monitors in the newsrooms, classrooms, and workplace to police speech in an effort to police thought!

 Image

            One of the latest attempts to legislate thought, speech, and behavior is the push for the NFL to administer a 15 yard penalty for use of the “N” word and the 2nd offense has you ejected from the game.  John Wooten of the Fritz Pollard Alliance is one of the strongest proponents of this saying that this is the absolute worst word in the history of America and then Michael Wilbon of ESPN is opposed to the white owners, etc. making this ruling and while he wants to get the word out of the work place doesn’t feel that this is the way to accomplish it.  I bring this up only to point out that flawed logic in attempting to legislate, thought, speech, or attitude.

             We have segments of our society where various words are used and, to them, it is acceptable but if anyone outside that segment uses the same words they are offensive.  There are words like the “B” word in reference to a female (Bossy and the one that rhymes with itch), ‘’Ho”, the “F” word in reference to a homosexual and so many more.  Society has a way of dealing with offenses it deems unacceptable such as shunning, ostracizing, and more.   I see this type of problem a societal problem signifying the failure of the home, extended family, and church to do its job. 

 Image

            If a person is prone to use racial slurs or slurs of any kind, legislation will not change their attitude or heart and will not transform them into a different person.  Tyrannical governments throughout history have sought to police speech, control attitudes, and shape thought in the public and even private sectors.  Even now in America it is a federal felony to criticize the President in the presence of the Secret Service.  Is this America?  It places people in bondage but does nothing to truthfully change their hearts or minds.  If we are going to tear down racial and ideological barriers we cannot do it with thought or speech policing society we have to do it with dialogue that is civil and honest.

             Racism is not a one way street.  Bigotry is not isolated to one sector of society.  Differences in political ideology is not unhealthy in itself the unhealthy aspect is when we attempt to silence all opposing views.  There are many things that I do not like and wish, were not present in our society but they are and no amount of legislation will change that.  It may drive it under the surface but it is still there and will likely become more ingrained and deeply rooted in the heart as a result making the situation worse not better.

 Image

            This is another area that government should and is constitutionally directed to stay out of. The founders gave us the 1st Amendment because they understood the impossibility and the unhealthiness of attempting to legislate, morality or ideology.  We should all, regardless of our ideology, religious beliefs, and moral stances oppose an erosion of our 1st Amendment Rights and oppose any and all efforts to allow or make the federal or state government ‘thought police’ or ‘speech police.’  Let society deal with those who step over the lines and it will be dealt with.  Let the parents teach their children proper respect, let the church teach godly principles regarding our fellow man, and allow society to effectively deter that which is morally, spiritually, or ideologically out of line. 

             This is another example of the dangers of an overreaching federal government that begins to reach into our lives in small segments until it is in TOTAL CONTROL.  But if we are going to police thought, speech, and attitudes whose examples are we going to use as acceptable?  Mine of course!  (You must know that last comment was completely sarcastic).

             God bless you and God bless America!

A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT….


           

Image

           

            The story goes that as Benjamin Franklin was leaving the Constitutional Convention he was asked by a lady, “What have you given us?”  Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”  The conversation with Mrs. Powell actually occurred so it seems and Mr. Franklin’s statement was more profound than one could have imagined.  We have kept it for over 200 years not 400 like Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee declared that the Constitution had served well for over 400 years.  What is a couple hundred years to a person that declared herself to be a freed slave by Congress as well? 

             We have a Constitutional Republic not a Pure Democracy or we have a Democratic Republic with a Constitution, Laws, a system of checks and balances with three distinctive and separate arms of the federal government.  That is being eroded today to the point that the lines are not just blurred but are being erased by the phone and pen of one Barack H. Obama as he uses his Executive Fiat.  Oh, I readily acknowledge that he may not have issued more than any other president but his have been far more devastating to the Constitutional integrity of our government than previous uses.  The Executive Order was to be limited but it seems that this president believes that because he is president he can do whatever he wishes.  Congress and the Courts seem to believe that as well as they offer little to no real resistance to his actions.  The losers in this – THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!  Mr. Franklin what would you say if you saw us today?

 Image

            The Democrats have demonstrated a willingness to trash the Constitution to press forward their agenda and a willingness to utilize all agencies of the federal government to torment, harass, intimidate, and punish anyone who opposes their agenda.  That alone should be reason enough to want to see them removed from office via the ballot box in November.  God forbid that we should have another four or eight years of liberal leftwing ideology in the White House and controlling at least one division of Congress.  If we survive the final three years of this administration we must move toward Constitutional integrity or we have ‘not kept the republic’ that the founders gave us and Mr. Franklin’s words become prophetic in a very negative sense.

             The Establishment Republicans are also complicit in this by attacking the various conservative and constitutional groups that are identified with the party under the encouragement of people like Karl Rove, John McCain, and others.  It seems that they are willing to lose national elections so long as they can maintain their positions of power and influence and access to the lobbyist, money, and power.  The Constitution is only a vehicle, to seek to solidify their positions not actually follow it faithfully, defend it loyally, and honor it with integrity.  There are a few that actually respect the Constitution and want to see America return to ‘limited government’, ‘fiscal responsibility’, and a ‘three branch’ system of government.  Precious few, but they exist.

 Image

            However, if we are to have any hope to ‘keep the republic’ we have to sometimes swallow bitter pills and cast votes that we would prefer not to cast.  The Democrats must be unseated from power and the Republican Party must be cleaned up or replaced but that will not and cannot happen in this election cycle in 2014 and/or 2016.  The process will take longer and possibly decades, if we have that much time.  I want to keep the republic and therefore am prepared to do whatever I can, in the primaries and runoffs to unseat the RINO’s, liberals, and Big Government bureaucrats that now hold office or seek office.  Once the primaries and runoffs are over and we are faced with voting in a way to defeat the Democrat I will do so because over 90% of those with a (D) after their name in Washington have voted with the administration and held the party line.  That means, if we are to reclaim our government they have to go. Then we must diligently work to establish a viable third party, replace the current Republican Party or reclaim it with Constitutional Conservatives.  None of those will be easy and at times will be quite painful politically but if we are to ‘keep the republic’ we must all do our part to boot the left from the White House, remove their grip on the Senate and keep them from reclaiming the House.

             I know many will not agree with me and will declare that because of ‘principle’ they will not vote for the Republican or Democrat and in many cases that will mean the Democrat goes into or retains the office and pushes us nearer and nearer to ‘losing the republic’I am not asking anyone to compromise their principles only that we all consider the cost of allowing the liberal Democrats to retain power.  

             America needs us to stand up, stand tall, and stand firm.  America needs us to become engaged and active in the political process.  America needs her patriots now as much and possible more than ever!   Stand with America is all I ask!

             God bless you and God bless America!

 

WHERE TO FROM HERE????


Image

 

            When I look at my nation, my community, my church, and my life I see two options each three-fold.  One is certain defeat and the other filled with obstacles but offers hope for victory.  It would seem that with that said everyone would immediately take the one that offers hope but it seems that is the road less traveled in our nation and much of our world today.  It is not necessarily the easy road and certainly not devoid of potholes, obstacles, and opposition but when you look toward the finish line you see HOPE and not the fictional ‘Hope and Change’ offered by the person currently occupying the Oval Office and carrying the title President of the United States of America.

Image

             As we ‘look back’ many do so LONGINGLY with nostalgia wishing for the ‘good old days’ at least with respect to the political.  Some look back LONGINGLY with a yearning for a return to the days when America was a Constitutional Republic although most of us were not alive when it truly was but those of us who are ‘baby boomers’ can recall when it was much nearer that reality than today’s SUPER CENTRALIZED BIG GOVERNMENT monstrosity where the federal government has its tentacles in every facet of our lives and clamoring for more daily.  It is not a bad thing to ‘remember’ the past but it must always be remembered that it is THE PAST.  We cannot relive it and while we may revive its spirit it is still a bygone era so we dare not become fixated on THE PAST.

Image 

            As we ‘look at the present’ many do so LAMENTINGLY and are overcome with grief as to the current state of affairs politically, morally, socially, and even religiously.  Today, in America, we are totally dominated politically by the ‘professional politician’ and powerful ‘special interest groups’ rather than have ‘citizen representation’ and ‘representatives’ in Congress or even the White House.  There is cause to LAMENT and if that spurs us into action to positively change the current conditions then that is a powerful weapon but if it causes us to bury our heads in the sand, throw up our hands and throw in the towel it is incredibly negative and sadly in the 2012 Elections I saw evidence of that in the refusal of many to vote.  If we chain ourselves to the past or become overcome with the apparent hopelessness of the present we will NEVER GAIN THE FUTURE VICTORIOUSLY!

 Image

            As we ‘look toward the future’ many do so incredibly LEERY and the skepticism, lack of trust and confidence, and unsurety of where this nation and world is going paralyzes with fear, frustration, and hopelessness.  While it is not a negative thing to be cautious and aware of the dubiousness of the professional political class it is negative if we allow it to PARALYZE us and enfeeble us to the place that we are incapacitated politically, socially, morally, and religiously.  If we allow it to cause us to become ‘wise as serpents’ and ‘harmless as doves’ and prayerfully approach the future with a view of the positive of the past, the failures and mistakes of the present and the Hope of the future it is POSITIVE!

             I, almost daily, have people who truly love this nation and genuinely want limited government, citizen representatives in Washington, a reduction of the debt and deficit nationally, and a return to a Constitutional Republic declare they are so depleted of hope they have given up.  As a minister I have preached for most all my years of Christian service – ‘The devil cannot win unless we quit.’  He will not win the ultimate victory even if we do and the only way he can win in our lives is if we quit!  That is true politically as well in my view.  If we continue to fight the good fight and win the battles where we can there is hope that we can win the war.  However if we throw in the towel, raise the white flag of surrender and become so disillusioned that we lose all hope and draw back from the battle WE HAVE LOST!  I cannot face my children or grandchildren if I do that so I will continue the fight as long as I have breath.

 Image

            America we MUST NOT SURRENDER!  Those who want to destroy us from without and from within must be resisted.  Although there is massive voter fraud and elections being stolen with each election cycle WE MUST NOT SURRENDER!  That is why it is important that we volunteer as poll watchers in our precincts, and become involved on the grass roots level.  We still have HOPE so do not look back so longingly, lament so much in the present, and become so leery of the future that you SURRENDER.  Allow the past, the present, and the hope of the future to embolden you and encourage you.  WE CAN if we stand together and refuse to quit!

             God bless you and God bless America!

 

THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE OF POLITICS AND POLITICIANS….


Image

            Seriously, I have never delved into the possibility of a ‘parallel universe’ but after the past few years watching politics and politicians I am beginning to wonder if it is possible.  It seems in their world ‘fantasy is reality’ and ‘reality is fantasy’.  Some have suggested that aliens dropped some of them off because they were without use for their research and they were purging other worlds.  Understand I say all that ‘tongue in cheek’ but how do we explain their complete lack of touch with ‘reality’.

             I guess it is probably best described as a ‘quest for power’.  It seems that either before elected or shortly after assimilation into the Washington culture they evolve into ‘professional politicians’ and strive to become members of the ‘Political Elite Society’ with position, power, and re-election being the most important items on their agenda.  I truly wonder what our Founding Fathers would say if they could see the way our present day politicians are sorting through what’s left of the Republic seeking to solidify their positions, pocketbooks, and power with little or no regard to the Republic!  I wonder!  However I suspect they would say, “We warned you!”

 Image

            It may be too late to save the Republic, I don’t know but I do know that we cannot give up the effort.  If we concede defeat and become docile we will have our liberties stripped from us, our constitution completely shredded, and our Republic destroyed.  The effort or actions that are leading us to that place are coming from many on both sides of the aisles.  It is for that reason that it is incumbent on each of us to carefully vet, research, question, and seek to know as much about each candidate as we can before casting our ballot no matter the office or party.

             In my view, the day of just voting along party lines is past or should be.  You may disagree and as many of those I talk to on both sides tell me, “Well a person of this or that party even if bad is infinitely better than someone from the other party.”  Sometimes that is true and sometimes it is an excursion in that parallel universe of the professional politicians where ‘fantasy is reality’ and ‘reality is fantasy’.  When a politicians consistent record is liberal to moderate and then just before primary season switches to a strict conservative vote you can rest assured that candidate IS NOT CONSERVATIVE.   I find that more offensive than if they followed their core beliefs consistently even if I disagree with them.  Just be honest with me!

 Image

            To cite one area that never ceases to amaze me is UNEMPLOYMENT.  We continually have reports from official and reputable organizations about the numbers of jobs created, the number of new claims for unemployment benefits, and the numbers of those who have completely dropped out of the job search market.  If a person has been unemployed long enough to no longer receive benefits they magically are dropped from the numbers used to calculate ‘unemployment rates’.  That is ‘fantasy’ and ‘reality’ says that if we truly calculated the number of people who COULD or WOULD WORK against the number who ARE WORKING the percentage would not be under 8% it would be well above 15% and probably higher.  The government manipulation of numbers, dollars, etc. in order to give the appearance of the economy getting better is not just ‘fantasy’ it is ‘disrespectful’ to America and Americans.  It is a slap in our faces and a clear attempt to dupe the public in order to solidify their position and re-election.  When, ‘reelection’ becomes more important than the ‘republic’ and the ‘public’ it is time for change and that does not matter what party they affiliate with.

             The primaries are upon us and this is the time to vigorously engage in attempts to replace those who are guilty and take the battle to the general election in November.  Sadly, too many just sit back and watch and then complain.  Personally, if I chose not to vote I would feel guilty in complaining about conditions or politicians.  That is my view and costs you nothing!  You have as much right to yours as I do mine.  I just hope that you become involved in the process because it truly does have a direct impact on your life!

             God bless you and God bless America!

WE NEED TO REMEMBER and RESPOND…..

HOW DO WE SAVE THE REPUBLIC?


Image

 

            I will readily acknowledge there are a number of possible ways to achieve the goal, some I do not endorse, at this time.  I want to take the most peaceful and legal means possible to save and restore the Constitutional Republic called the United States of America.  I want to see it function within the bounds, limits, and guidelines of the American Constitution not the United Nations Charter.  I want America back and lay blame at the feet of both parties in a very large measure.

             I believe that the politicians have ‘stolen’ our Republic from us for their own political purposes and agendas.  I believe that their quest and thirst for power, in the name of helping the people has resulted in the complete shredding of the American Constitution to the point that it is no longer working as it was designed.  The courts have aided in this travesty.  The Executive and Legislative Branches have been major culprits in this assault on our American Constitution and thereby the Republic that our Founding Fathers established and handed down to us. 

             How do we SAVE the republic?  That is a most interesting question and one that requires a significant amount of thought and weighing options to come to a definitive answer.  Another question might be CAN WE SAVE the republic?  That depends on where we turn for our solution to the problem.

Image

             CONGRESS IS NOT THE ANSWER so where do we turn?  I believe that Mark Levin and others have hit on what may well be the ‘only’ hope we have of saving the Republic.  He bases his argument on Article V of the American Constitution and proposes that we seek to get two-thirds of the State Legislatures to call for a Convention to Propose Amendments to the United States Constitution.  The proposed amendments then would have to be ratified by three fourths of the States to become valid.  Clearly we cannot depend on the U.S. Congress, President, or Supreme Court to restore the Constitution so the Individual States are possibly our only hope.  Can we get enough State Legislatures to sign on to this idea?  I do not know as we have failed in previous attempts but today hopefully there are enough people who see the ‘lawlessness’ of this President as a perpetual danger and one that can only lead to a Tyrannical State if not stopped that something might be done.  We can hope!

 Image

            PEOPLE NOT POLITICIANS will ultimately be the answer.  It is only as the people within the nation rise up in sufficient numbers either electing or sending fear into the hearts of elected officials to cause them to respond.  That is probably easier accomplished on a State level than a National one.  The State Legislators are frequently more attune to the wishes of the people and more likely to respond to pressure than National Legislators.  There is an infectious disregard for our wishes on the Washington scene so those in Congress seem to be inoculated, isolated, and insolated with regard to our voices and wishes.  That has to change and the only way it will change is by taking the drastic steps to amend the present Constitution and restore power to the States and thereby the people.

            WE DESIRE A REPUBLIC NOT A TYRANNICAL DESPOTIC REGIME and the only way that we can have that is take power from them.  I am not just identifying Democrats in that statement but Republicans and Independents in Washington as well.  They have and are virtually all guilty of destroying our Constitutional Republic and should be held accountable and stripped of their power ASAP.

             IT WILL BE GOD NOT MAN that ultimately determines if we will have a Republic and keep it or if we lose the nation.  Therefore it is my conviction that we should ‘work’ as if everything depended on us and ‘pray’ as if everything (and it does) depends on God.  I have for some time been committed to intercession for the nation.  In doing that I pray for the leaders that God will guide their decisions, touch their hearts, and bring them to the light of right and truth!  I do not pray for the success of agendas that are clearly outside the scope of Scripture or not in the best interest of the American Republic and people.  I cannot do that!  I must speak up, speak out, stand up, and stand firm in hopes of seeing the Republic restored to its Constitutional mode of operation.

 Image

            I suggest that you research this avenue and if you believe it is a viable way to go, contact your elected State Representative, Senator, and all other State officials as might be needed in this attempt to save the Republic.  I, like you, want to see our Republic saved and our Constitution honored and followed.  We may not agree on how to accomplish that but hopefully agree on that objective.

             May God bless you and may God bless America!

I LOVE THE ILLOGICAL LOGIC OF POLITICIANS….


Image

            Actually I do not but I need a good laugh and cry daily so as I listen to what they say, read what they write, and watch what they go I get my dose of ILLOGICAL LOGIC and move on.  It would be hilarious if it was not so serious and when I remotely consider the possibility that they truly believe what they are promoting IT IS FRIGHTENING!

             The incredible spin from the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) report that at least 2.5 MILLION jobs will be destroyed by Obama-care and that is somehow liberating and good is no longer amusing it is amazing!  When did not having a job become better than having a job?  When did not taking care of your family and depending on someone else become the norm?  When did being unable to find a job become fashionable and desirable?  When?  When this president and the politicians decided that they wanted to grow the Federal Government to a new ALL POWERFUL place, completely dominate our lives, redistribute what we have earned and saved, and punish hard work, ingenuity, integrity, and responsibility.  If this is an acceptable position in America and the World we are farther up the proverbial creek than I thought.  If this is acceptable politically, socially, economically, morally, and spiritually WE ARE IN DEEP STUFF!

 Image

            Then I hear the infamous Chuck Schumer Senator from New York promote the idea that as a compromise the Republicans should agree to pass the AMNESTY bill and it would not be enforced until Mr. Obama is out of office!  WHAT?  That sounds a lot like Queen Nancy’s proposition, “We have to pass it to find out what is in it” debacle known as Obama-care!  We know where that has gotten us, so why in the name of sanity would we want to take that path again?  The timidity of the Republicans is more than disturbing it is appalling!  When they have the opportunity to show the ‘contrast’ between conservatives and liberals in a way that is unmistakably positive they offer timidity, insecurity, uncertainty, and indecision!  C’mon Man!  The iron is hot STRIKE!

 Image

            What in Obama’s first five years suggests he would allow a golden opportunity such as a piece of legislation sit idle without using Executive fiat and Administrative Action to enact the legislation?  He would simply refer to it as what is effectively ‘the law’ therefore enacting it now would be the right thing to do.  The Democrats would line up to sign on and the Republicans would cringe in the corner cowering in fear.  That is how they have reacted thus far so why would I think now would be different?  I DO NOT!

             The Attorney General from the Department of Injustice as it should be called is using his office to legislate things to the States that are beyond his constitutional authority to do and directly violate the Constitution but no one seems to be willing to take him to task.  Where have all the constitutional legislators gone or do they exist?  Oh, I acknowledge that there are a few brave souls still in Washington but it seems that they fail to have consistency and gradually evolve into part of the problem rather than being a breath of fresh air for the constitution and WE THE PEOPLE!  

 Image

            I pray for our elected officials!  I do not pray for their success in pressing their agenda but for their person.  I pray that somehow they will see the light and realize how vital the constitution is to America’s survival.  I pray that somehow they realize that the preservation of our liberties and freedoms is more important than their retirement, legacy, and political, social, or economic position.  I pray for America, her people, and her survival.  I pray that people will come to a place that political ideology takes a back seat to what is in the best interest of preserving a Constitutional Republic as the founders established. 

             We are on the brink of the complete collapse of our economy, our Republic, and our way of life.  I see this as much more serious than ‘just politics’ I see it as LIFE or DEATH!  Therefore, I will continue to plead for the constitution to be honored and for the election and selection of individuals who are not professional politicians but Citizen Representatives!

             America I love you and want to see you preserved!  May God bless you and may God bless America!

ARE THEY REALLY DOING THIS?????


     Image      

What is ‘this’ you ask?   Is the Republican Establishment strategy to alienate the Tea Party and Constitutional Conservatives in an effort to ‘win’ the mid-term elections but only by a narrow margin and without the Tea Party or what they view as ‘right-wingers’?   If that is their strategy they are dumber than dumb and place the entire nation in jeopardy of not just another two years of liberal socialist left-wing rule but possibly eight to ten more years of it?  We can barely survive two more years and I’m not sure we can do that but eight to ten more years of this political ideological pathway we are on – NO WAY!

             Why would you pursue ‘AMNESTY’ although you are calling it ‘Immigration Reform’ and claiming that it is not a pathway to citizenship when you and the rest of us know that is exactly what this is or will be.  Why would you be so afraid of restraining Mr. Obama from his insatiable appetite for spending because you have vowed ‘no more shutdowns?’  Why would you ignore those that helped you reclaim the House in 2010 and want to alienate them?  WHY?  In my view there is only one logical conclusion – – You are Big Government Bureaucrats like the leftist and the only real difference is you have an R instead of a D behind your name on the ballot.  You want to feather your nest, secure you lofty position politically and financially, and you are more interested in power than people!  It is not ‘Power to the People’ but keeping ‘Power from the People’ that you seem to be interested in.

Image

             I guess you, like Mr. Obama and the Democrats believe that we all have STUPID written across our foreheads and are!  It seems that you have lost sight of what the public really wants!  One of the things that a vast majority of the voting public wants is LIMITED GOVERNMENT or LESS GOVERNMENT.  Most Americans want the government less involved in our daily lives.  Most Americans want less spending and debt nationally.  Most Americans want our borders secured and America and Americans protected.  Most Americans want government out of their health insurance and health care decisions.  Most Americans want the Republic that our Founders established and we had for a very long time.  Of course, the recent elections and inattention to politics by millions suggests that you and the left are right.  We may not be STUPID but we have acted STUPIDLY.

 Image

            It would be criminal for parents to allow an irresponsible teenager access to the key of the liquor cabinet, keys to the car, and access to the bank account.  Yet that seems to be the approach we have taken in politics.  We have allowed irresponsible men and women who have demonstrated either a complete ignorance of the Constitution or an abhorrence of it to make policy, pass laws, and enact governmental edicts that are contrary to the Constitution and the Will of the People of this Republic.  Some of, if not much, of the blame for the condition we are now facing must be shouldered by those of us who neglected to stay informed and involved in the political happenings of our nation over the past few decades.  It may well be too late to reclaim this nation but WE MUST attempt to do so. 

 

            I, like many of you, have become completely disgusted with politicians on both sides of the aisle and want people in Washington that will be Citizen Representatives who will honor and respect the Constitution of these United States of America.  I wish I could offer a formula that was simple and easily executed to achieve this but it is more complicated that just saying “I will vote third party.”  We may be left with no choice if the Republican Establishment continues its self-destructive course which is abetting the statist leftist liberal socialist in the destruction of this nation or as Obama declared the ‘fundamental transformation’ of it.

 Image

            My plea is be INFORMED, INVOLVED, and NEVER give up the effort to restore the Republic!   America now and future depends on our efforts!  I am not fighting just for me I am fighting for my children, grandchildren, and their children.  I am fighting for posterity, for God and Right not just the political right!

            May God be with you guarding and guiding you and may God bless America again!

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT aka Obama-Care VERSIMILITUDE….


Image

            What do I mean?  Simply they spin what they are spinning and have been spinning about how ‘affordable’ it will make health insurance and health care as well as the fallaciousness of how many that are currently uninsured will now be insured gives the image that it is true but it is a blatant fabrication not supported by facts.

            Obamacare is supposedly going to extend coverage to 25+ million people who are ‘uninsured’ over the next DECADE.  Understand that this is not expected or intended to be an immediate eradication of the ‘uninsured’ problem as Obama wants you to believe.  However the Congressional Budget Office has issued a finding that anticipates at least 31+ million will remain ‘uninsured’ under Obamacare.  Please tell me how this law fixes the problem?  It only exasperates it lowers the standard of care, increases the costs across the board, costs jobs, hours, wages, and hurts the American economy and the American worker.  So how is it a good thing?  It is something that Barack Obama wants to hang his political legacy on and hopes that historians or revisionist will look back on it and give him a glowing grade somewhat like his receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for what they anticipated he might do and has not done. 

 Image

            The real truth is the ILLEGAL ALIENS, or as they are now called ‘undocumented workers’ , for we dare not call a spade a spade we have to be politically correct and show how sensitive we are, will be the lion’s share of the ‘uninsured.’  This is a group of people that we are now subsidizing through ‘welfare’, ‘free education’, and ‘free medical care’ now.  WHY do we need to punish all American citizens with a disastrous train wreck law to do what we are already doing and will continue doing SUPPORTING ILLEGALS?

 Image

            How about those who ‘fall through the cracks’ of the Obamacare system?  Those who earn below 100% of the poverty level, or around $11,500.00 per year make too little to get subsidized insurance because Obamacare assumes that they will get Medicaid.  Yet, there are those who do not qualify for the subsidized insurance and do not qualify for Medicaid.  Those people are not helped and it could be argued that they are harmed by Obamacare and will be part of the growing millions who do not have insurance, cannot get insurance, and do not have Medicaid.  WHAT ABOUT THEM MR. OBAMA?  Oh your law fixes everything for everyone, sorry I forgot.

             Additionally, I am still incensed over the ‘exemptions’ that you have issued to businesses, unions, Congress, and others.  If Obamacare is the best thing since ‘sliced bread’ then it should be good enough for ALL AMERICANS not just some of us who are outside your special favors groups.  You, your family, Congress, their families, their staffs, all unions, and businesses, should have to have it as well or NO ONE SHOULD have to have it!  You cannot have it both ways and even if your ‘low information’ crowd believes what you say, you are DISHONEST and millions of us know it and are resisting.  We will continue to put pressure on our elected representatives to resist as well.

            This law adds or amends at least 40 new provisions to the federal tax code and the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a poll and found that 77% say they KNOW NOTHING or LITTLE about what Obamacare is really all about or does.  You have shut down open air monuments, prevented WWII veterans and families from paying tribute to their comrades and family and yet you are spending $67 million or more in a campaign to EXPLAIN OBAMACARE to the public. 

             In your plan you claim that employees have the option to opt out of their employer’s plan if it does not cover at least 60% of their healthcare costs or costs more than 9.5% of their taxable income.  One wee little problem in this it is what some have called the ‘family glitch’ because the test of affordability is for INDIVIDUALS not FAMILIES.  Additionally, family members CANNOT GET subsidies in the exchanges if the worker’s plan is deemed AFFORDABLE.   What about that sir?

            In fact, the CBO projects that under Obamacare over the next decade, the number of uninsured will never fall below 30 million. Here are the year-by-year projections from the report:

2013 – 55,000,000
2014 – 44,000,000
2015 – 37,000,000
2016 – 31,000,000
2017 – 30,000,000
2018 – 30,000,000
2019 – 30,000,000
2020 – 30,000,000
2021 – 31,000,000
2022 – 31,000,000
2023 – 31,000,000

            Thus we find that Obamacare is not the cure all that ends all our health insurance and health care problems and makes virtually no dent in the problem only exasperates it and complicates it further.  The truth is that you are not interested in HEALTHCARE or HEALTH INSURANCE you are interested in CONTROL as the fine points and fine print of the ACA reveals when studied.

             Therefore it is incumbent upon us to continue to resist and insist that our elected representatives resist your diabolical and disastrous ideology and policies.  Americans want their America back!

             May God bless you and may God bless America!

THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE OF LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE SOCILAIST POLITICS….


Image

            I should not be surprised at anything in politics anymore but I still am surprised in the lack of attention and recognition by the masses regarding the shenanigans of politics and politicians.  I watched a video clip the other day of Hollywood Types being asked about Obama and Robert De Niro was in tears defending Obama, and some others were making statements to the interviewer like, “We both agree that Benghazi is bunk right?”  The interviewer did not agree and when he pressed the actor as to who was to blame and the response was, “The Republicans cutting funding.”  I laughed and cried at the same time because the Benghazi debacle that was either total incompetence or blatant treason or both had nothing to do with any funding cuts but with inappropriate or the lack of action on the part of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  Then to make matters worse they lied about what transpired and are still doing so yet the public or the loyal followers DO NOT HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!   How is that possible?  It has to be willing ignorance out of political bias!

            It seems that no matter how much scientific data is presented debunking Global Warming the liberal followers hold to it as though it were Divine Gospel and refuse to consider the facts.  When it comes to the Affordable Care Act aka Obama-care even though the vast majority do not like it and do not want it millions refuse to reject the liberals who promote it, crammed it down our throats, and loyally cling to it.  How is that possible?  It can only be that they are living in an Alternate Universe of political ideology and facts and truth are unimportant only their ideology and the candidates who support that ideology.  I find that disturbing if not surprising.  I truly thought the American people had more grit, sand, and intelligence than that but am changing my views on that front.

            When I hear Senator Chuck Schumer declare that the ‘Tea Party’ is the most dangerous entity facing America today and openly encouraging the IRS to put them even more closely under a microscope to target them, I wonder how anyone could possibly believe that right and okay.  Sadly, some in the Republican Establishment do as well.  Senator Schumer’s basis was that the Tea Party is anti-big government and a nanny state and the government needs to be defended because in his liberal view it is not big enough, intrusive enough, or enslaving enough.  The political elite on both sides of the aisle view the government gravy train differently than the average citizen.  They want to make us believe that they truly care about us and are acting in our best interest when what they are really doing is solidifying their position and power while building their financial and political fortunes.  It is about control, money, and power not about the people!  I don’t care which side of the aisle the professional politician stands they want to protect their place and position no matter what it costs America or Americans.  How is it possible that people do not see that?  It has to be that millions are living in the Alternate Universe of Liberal Progressive Socialist Political Views.  It has to be willing ignorance.

            Sadly, we were warned that when people find out they can vote themselves money the Republic is finished and we have not listened.  We are seeing the demise of what I believe to be the Greatest Nation in the modern world.  I will not say the greatest in history but in the modern world it has been.  Unfortunately, the path we have been on for decades with the hundred year plan of the Fabian Socialist and others, has led us to the place where someone like Barack Obama and the Soros crowd could step in and drive the final nail in the coffin of a Republican Democracy.  I wish I could say something that was more encouraging but I see the light at the end of the tunnel and hear the whistle of the train engine behind it.  I see the end coming UNLESS we IMMEDIATELY stop the madness.  How do we do that?  I’m not sure we can but if we do not band together in 2014 and 2016 the proverbial ‘fat lady’ will be singing and as Dandy Don Meredith used to sing on Monday Night Football – “Turn out the Lights the Party Is Over.”

            The only question is what are we going to do?  Will we just take it and watch our money stolen, our economy completely destroyed, the free market collapsed, and our freedom and liberty stolen from us or will we STAND UP and say NO!

            May God bless you and may God bless America!

THE COMING COLLAPSE….


Image

            Okay, I guess you can now officially list me among those who believe that the U.S. dollar is going to collapse and the economy is going to tank into oblivion leaving millions in America and around the world in financial ruin.  I do not believe it is ‘if’ but ‘when’ this transpires.  On our present course in the United States with the insatiable appetite for spending, deficit, and debt a collapse is imminent and guaranteed.  Our path is unsustainable by the estimation of virtually all economic forecasters and seems to be a planned destruction. 

            I do not know how anyone can assume that the United States government can continue its unbridled spending, the Federal Reserve can continue printing money making the currency more and more worthless, and ‘entitlement programs’ and ‘wasteful spending’ continue without dire results.  Those feeding at the government trough of entitlements seem to believe that ‘Golden Goose’ of the Nanny State Federal Government has an endless supply of money and that printing money at an insane rate is not a problem.  IT IS MORE THAN A PROBLEM.  It is a disaster waiting to happen.  It is just a matter of time.

            I’ve had some tell me that this will not happen because the ‘power brokers’ of the world will not allow it to happen because they would be hurt.  If you truly believe they have not ‘hedged’ their bets you are living in Wonderland and should see the Tin Man any moment now.  I believe that the ‘money people’ of the world will make money if the U.S. dollar remains or if it goes by the wayside.  I believe that it is just a matter of when it becomes economically, politically, nationally, and internationally profitable to them.  We are virtually, if not literally, owned by other countries, the money and power brokers of the world.  If they deem it in the interest of their power, profit, and position to destroy the U.S. dollar it is gone.  We have reached or are dangerously close to the point of no return it would seem and if we do not reign in this spending and debt train within a very short time we will see what Willard Cantelon a preacher wrote about decades ago.  He wrote a book called ‘The Day The Dollar Dies’ and many believed it theoretically but not practically.  That is the same way that many believe the prophecies of the Bible.  It will happen just not to them or in their lifetime thus no real change in practices or lifestyles.  Well some generation will see the fulfillment of the prophecies and the collapse of the World Economy the only question is which generation.

            I read a report of one economist that said the talk of ‘hyperinflation’ regarding the British pound and the U.S. dollar should be viewed not if it happens but in hindsight that it has already happened.  He cited that if you bought a house for $20,000 in 1913 using U.S. dollars you would need $1 Million in today’s dollars.  If that is accurate or even remotely accurate we are looking at a devaluation rate of 98.5 to 99.5% of the British pound and the U.S. dollar and if we are already there where do we go to salvage either?  The Federal Government has been making plans to take your money including your retirement accounts and redistribute it to themselves not struggling people.  The government shutdown or slowdown was not about people but about power.  If the government does not continue to operate at its rate then the lobbyist, consultants, special interest will not get what they want and the legislators will not continue to become more and more powerful and rich personally.  It was never about us it was about them!  There would be ample funds to help the truly needy and do the government’s true constitutional duties if it were not for the incredible excess and waste that we have today in government. 

             If in your personal finances each month you charge much more than you bring in you will find that in a short time you are barely and basically just paying the interest on your debt.  If that continues to the point that the interest is more than you bring in you have a complete economic collapse and are destroyed financially.  The Federal Government is operating that way so what is different?  NOTHING! 

             Based on what I see politically, nationally, internationally, and biblically I fully believe a CRASH of epic proportions is just around the corner.  I fear for what I see happening if and when that happens.  The headlines will read:  “Panic in the Streets”, “Rioting and Looting Rampant”, “Chaos and Anarchy in America”, and many other descriptive headlines.  Hunger and fear will drive people to looting, murder, and viciousness that will be beyond anything most of us can fathom.  I believe that we are in more danger economically in America than through a direct military type attack and we are very much in danger of that due to our porous borders, incredibly inept foreign policy, and attention to terrorism.

            My message is not one that will cheer you up but I tell you now that if you can take steps to ‘hedge your bet’ financially against the decreasing and dying dollar.  Even more importantly I urge everyone to look to God because we are going to see a time, and I believe soon, where unless God sustains us we perish individually and collectively.  I believe this time will be one of the greatest times of revival and trouble that the world has ever seen. I want to be on God’s side when it comes and at the same time I recall the words of the Bible spoken by the Lord, “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”  We must do what we know to do and yet we must become so completely reliant on GOD that we live without fear!

             This government has demonstrated its lack of trustworthiness and I do not just mean the Obama administration.  We have as very small window of opportunity and chance hopefully and we MUST reclaim our nation! 

             God bless you and God bless America!
