THE 'NEW' LIBYA

On September 12, 2010 I wrote that Obama was bent on "getting" Osama Bin Laden because Osama was a thorn in the side of Islam which is attempting to infiltrate countries by stealth, and of most concern is the USA (the Great Satan, according to their teachings); fabricating organizations that have American sounding names while actually promoting and supporting Islam. But Osama has declared war on all infidels and his antics has muddied the Islamic movement into non-Islamic nations like Great Britain, the USA, France etc.etc.etc. and has caused nations to be on alert and to attempt to stop "terrorists" and this draws too much attention to the ideals and the Islamic movement going on throughout the world.

Without Osama drawing all this attention, Muslims are infiltrating a town or city and they "join" in the politics so as to affect "change we can believe in", or fundamentally change America, then a state, and become a Senator or Congressman etc, etc, etc, (as Yule Brenner said in "The King and I".

Now we are having a closer look at what is going on in the middle east, supported by this administration, and the previous administration. While helping militarily, the people of a country who want to overthrow the dictators like Gadhafi (that name is spelled and pronounced in a variety of ways), or Mubarak, America sends our sons and daughters to die for these countries to help the citizens to implement a democracy, only to have the leaders later declare the government of those countries will be ruled by Shari law.

What has been forgotten in all this political ugliness, is that America is a Republic, not a Democratic country, and we have no reason to promote democracy in any other nation. Instead, if our citizens are called upon to assist a foreign country, it should be stipulated that we will do so, only to help that country develop a Republic for the people. Those nations in the Eastern Block of Europe, after separating themselves from the USSR, declared themselves to be Republics, under democratic rule. They are not Democratic countries. For the layman, the difference is subtle, but meaningful: A Republic is governed By The People For The People; in a Democracy, there is a Federal or Central government, which dictates to the people. Our country has fallen into this abyss for some time, but has not given itself over to Democratic Governance, yet; but it is hard to tell. That is the subtle differences with the Tea Party politicians; they are trying to maintain the Republic while the majority of the other politicians are trying to claim that this country is a democracy, and this had caused a lot of bantering back and forth. History has shown us that every democracy devolves into a dictatorship because a democracy is a ponzi scheme and eventually the money runs out. What follows is interments, incarcerations, killings and a total loss of freedoms (Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, etc. etc. etc.). The gun powder still permeates the air, and Libya has already indicated that the country will be ruled by Shari Law.  What the heck are we doing? We are aiding and abetting the very people who want to overthrow us, in time. It boggles the mind. Can our politicians be so narrow minded? Are they afraid to draw conclusions which the rest of us are able to do?

Folks, this is not going to end well. Christians have a word for it   Armegeddon. Are we close to what they call The End Time? Is what they promote so hard to see? Are there not enough Christians left in America to make a difference? It was recently reported that the last Christian "left" Afghanistan, and we continue to hear a lot about Christian persecution all over the world. Did you know that Obama recently sent 100 military "advisers" to help Muslims eradicate or eliminate the Christian resistance to Islam in the Sudan? Did you know that Bosnia, where we still have troops to maintain the peace, was a war between Christians and Muslims and this country sided with the Muslims again?

Is your alarm set? Do you need a wake up call? Can you not see what is obvious?

As a Christian, I am so glad that we still have time left to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These times are precious as we see what looks like a massive "envelopment" of Christian nations in the world. We know what the back of the book says, and it is our inspiration. Who could have seen these events occurring just 20 years ago?

OBAMA: MAKING MORE JOBS .... IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

This President is so obsessed with adhering to a set of beliefs that mingle fascism, socialism, communism and a little bit of dictatorship-ism. He continues to first punish America for being such a productive country which "took everything away from the rest of the world", and secondly, to remedy that, he will now take the wealth from this country and give it to foreign countries so they can catch up and America can be brought down to their level. His primary motivation stems from his following the ideas of Saul Alinsky, whose basic concern for mankind was admirable, but misguided. Like the issue of slavery, community organizers were a part of our history. We were a newly founded country, and the people that tried to set up a self-governing country came from oppressed nations across the world. In time they had to literally fight for what they established and many lost their fortunes and lives. But their ideals were meant to establish a free nation with free people who governed themselves. Some of the early politicians were also from foreign countries and some, were not satisfied with there being a freedom like what was proposed. As they got into politics, they started to resist and reshape some of the ideas, which caused consternation. Southern Democrats, up to the 1960's were opposed to giving black people equal rights; but that is our history. That is not what this country is all about today. However, one President after another has tried to fix the past by degrading this country and punishing it one way or another. Now we have a President that is taking our wealth and giving it to foreign countries, and forcing massive long-term unemployment here at home. He calls it the "new normal".

The proof is in the pudding. Obama has taken American tax payers dollars, literally billions of them, and given them to start up companies that make batteries, or even electric cars. And he does this while causing massive unemployment in America. He employs fascist principles by having the  federal government buy the majority share in General Motors (more commonly referred to as Government Motors). Besides the obvious, this also picks winners and losers. The feds can write any law they want that will favor the production of a Gov't Motor vehicle as opposed to any other company that produces automobiles as a private industry.

To the extent he has given a "loan" to a Finish automobile producer which has not shown a profit for over 4 years and is lagging way behind on its ability to produce the first promised $150,000.00 automobile, you HAVE to ask who is going to buy these cars? Where are they going to get "charged" up? And, as a side note, as electric cars are produced, the need for more electricity will cause a shortage in America, AND those who are now installing "electric fueling stations", intend to charge up to $20 a month, per vehicle, initially.

And even according to Steve Jobs, this President is not industry friendly and is making it harder and harder for companies to compete in the USA; but that doesn't stop him; remember "this country has to pay for what it has done to the rest of the world".

 Jeff Immelt is Obama's Job Czar, and the CEO of General Electric. While Obama encourages those in the "occupy wall street" crowd, GE has seen a 57% increase in profits this last year. One of the ways GE is getting that done is by manufacturing the curly-cue light bulbs you see all over the place. The Democrats and the Obama Administration, have legislated the incandescent light bulb out of existence. At the end of 2011, they will be illegal to sell: all of America is being forced to buy those fluorescent "energy savers". Shortly into the year 2012, old laws will be enforced:   "the proper disposal of fluorescent light bulbs". When I worked in the General Services Department in Florida back in 1985, we were required to "collect crushed fluorescent bulbs" in separate containers in such a way as to not allow the mercury in them to escape into the air. These little curly bulbs DO have mercury in them, and when you are forced to dispose of them "properly" it is going to be costly, cumbersome and terrible inconvenient. The disposal will negate any savings you may incur on your electric bill, but in the Obama world, savings is not the point, control is.

Now we have Democratic Senators revealing their true intentions, with all these American money give-aways: Senator Reid very recently said the private sector is doing fairly well; where we need employment is in the governmental sector. Any idiot can tell what that means is more taxes, because governmental workers do not produce profits. As such, their jobs are a cost to those they serve. And who do they serve? Tax payers. So in the Democratic world, it simply adds up to more governmental union workers, with all the attendant benefits, and an increase in costs to consumers of those services and an increase in taxes to pay for all of that.

It would prove beneficial to find out how much the tax payers are paying for "retired" politicians. They legislated themselves health benefits that far exceed what the rest of us get, AND they get as much as 50% of their salary in retirement benefits after only being in office for 10 years; and that comes after they get yearly raises unless they vote against them (does "the inmates running the prisons" come to mind?). Can you imagine how many of those rascals are double dipping the tax payer? And then they get these lobbyists jobs that allow them to continue "sticking it to the taxpayer" through special interests and pork barrel spending. And how long do Americans have to pay for the "protection" of EX-Presidents and their families? Come on, are these people some kind of special character? Why, when they were running for office, they were shaking my hand, holding my baby and rolling up their sleeves, just like a normal guy or gal. What has made them so special?

This country has "fundamentally" changed. We now have the working class and the elite .... and we are funding the industry of foreign countries at tax payers expense, and a high rate of unemployment, and we are funding grandiose lifestyles of those who have made themselves the Elite.

SO OUR YOUTH WANTS TO CHANGE AMERICA?

I've always wanted to go to one of those DC demonstrations but I could never afford all the expenses it would cost, and then I was leery of the weather. You could plan today, and the day of the event might be vicious with rain, wind, or some calamitous weather.

Those "protestors" on Wall Street; Wow are they fortunate: I guess they can all afford the trip, the lay-over, and the weather is on their side. It makes you wonder if the "event" would dissolve, if there were some calamitous weather.

But their event does continue and it is so "concise and precise" (lol) it leaves no room to question why these people have all come together at this time. First there's the Big Bank thing, then there's the Living wage thing, then too many rich people have too much money, thing, then there's the I want what you have thing, and it goes on and on. Everyone has a purpose for being there, BUT it seems none of them are there for the same purpose.

Why is it so difficult for our youth, most getting an education paid for by taxpayers, to reason reality? Do our higher institutions of education so corrupt their minds that they cannot think critically, which is what the purpose of higher education is supposed to produce? Take Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; before the federal government started buying home mortgages from banks the fed's legislated and "encouraged" the banks to write, some people were not qualified to own homes. In some cases they couldn't afford the mortgage and in many cases, the people didn't even have jobs. Now, Fannie and Freddie are facing bankruptcy; think of that a federal agency going bankrupt.

And we can't forget the postal service. When I was a youth it was a crime to put anything into a residential mailbox. In fact you could face federal prosecution for doing so. But today, the federal post office is going bankrupt. Then there's that pesky little thing called Amtrak; yep, it too is going bankrupt. Yet the youth of our country want to blame everything on the idea that some people have more money than others.

Obama has additionally put this entire country into bankruptcy mode. Our national debt, resembles the thinking behind Amtrak, Fannie and Freddie, or the Postal Service.Well, if a country is in debt, how on earth do these demonstrators think the government can solve the problem of unemployment; the same government that has allowed these massive federal bankruptcies?

Fascism/Socialism can work for a while, perhaps 65 or 75 years. Fidel Castro once said "Socialism does not work", then he recanted and later said "I meant Capitalism", then has gone on to allow Cubans to own property, get licenses for private business and has asked for normal relations with the USA.We see one form of socialism or another across the globe, but we also see the disintegration of those systems. . Countries all over the world are bankrupt; their people massively unemployed and the countries with debts they cannot afford to pay. But our youth, through our higher educational system, have learned to want the same things the other failing countries have. Remember the "catch" phrase from the Rodney King event: "Why can't we all just get along?"; I guess this is what our youth want for today; let's just all  gripe at wealthy Americans, blame them for our failures, and make everyone poor and ignorant.

A solution to most of these problems is actually the opposite of what the youth think is best for this country and its people. The Federal Government should gather the money people into a bunch of rooms and let them know it is about to sell off all its debt-agencies. Let the private sector invest in these failing boondoggles and they will turn those failures into success almost overnight.

I can see some entrepreneur taking over the postal service with all its satellite buildings and "crunch" centers and having a delivery system that would resemble UPS or Fedex, but on the local level. A lot of people still want their bills delivered to the house; some do not have the internet services that snail-mail has overtaken, but there is still a need for snail-mail. There are catalogs, CD's, magazines, internet purchases that have to be delivered, monthly household bills etc. that still need scrutiny and people want to have that physical paper to deal with and to keep records with. Snailmail does not have to be a daily thing, in fact once or twice a week would be more than sufficient; vendors would need to know the schedule and meet those mailings accordingly.

Amtrak would be a fantastic private service that would gradually expand to reach more and more cities and provide varying services locally.

The banking industry, which is flush with cash would like nothing better than to have the Fed's get out of their way and allow them to "buy-back" those losing mortgages, without all the previous government intervention. Banks are in the business of making money; that's what they do and they know how to get that done.

You know, this time, I might make a sincere effort to meet others in DC who are demonstrating for returning this county back to the people. A demonstration that could actually cause the believers in Capitalism to get a backbone and throw the lobbyists out of DC, declare this country a Republic, sovereignly appointed by God, for and by the people as under the Constitution. Would you?

IS NEWT GINGRICH REALLY PRESDENTIAL MATERIAL?

Ever since the "Contract with America" I just couldn't find a way to like Newt Gingrich. I didn't like his "not me" boyish grin and I still don't. I didn't like it when he posed with Hilary Clinton and tried to promote a National Health Care program and I didn't like it when he posed with Nancy Pelosi warning America about "Global Warming". But I have to admit, he is a pretty good historian and quite an intellectual "thinker".

I'm all about "thinking". Sometimes I lose the people I'm talking to when I start to "wander". I like thinking; I also like to talk with thinkers. We might never solve problems, but we come up with some pretty good ways problems can be solved.

Now Newt; he's going after the whole idea of trying to become President. Mostly because he "thinks" he has some of the solutions to solving Americas problems. This is where the twist comes in: Newt has gone from "thinking" to "believing" he has the solutions and wants to act on them rather than just "think" about them.

I have always been against Executive Orders because I can never figure out where they end. I mean a President seems to be able to issue these things when ever he feels like it, and no one in the Senate or House of Representatives contests them. So the next question is, why do we need 535 politicians in the Senate and House, if the President can just "issue" these orders? But Newt has come up with an idea that adds to the grating of my nerves: He now wants to become President, so the day after he is inaugurated, he will issue from 50 to 250 "Executive Orders" to virtually undo what Obama has done, and he has a web site asking you to offer other things you would like to see, "undone" by Executive Order. He's calling this the "21st Century Contract with America", or some other silly such thing.

I never did like the idea of the "Contract with America". I "think" the whole thing was childish, so this one is so much worse, to me; and that boyish grin.....!

Newt Gingrich has a lot to offer. He is a very smart man, but he is still a big part of the Establishment Repubs. These guys put up the money, than want to run the show. Newt might issue those executive orders the day after he is inaugurated, but after that, he will be "dictated" to by the big money establishment Repubs.

BUT, we have to ask ourselves: will it be worth it?  Look, Newt might be just another Bush, but IF he actually does issue those orders, he will not only undo the Obama administration, but he would effectively restore American values, business, and prosperity. Those executive orders would re-open the American entrepreneurialism like we have never seen. I "think" there would be a return of money and business to this country that would create so many jobs we would have to quickly decide what to do about immigration, because with all the abortions performed in the last 35 years, this country would not have enough people to fill the jobs this would create.

But I worry about what his 4 years or 8 years as President would otherwise do. Since he has matched himself up with Pelosi and Clinton, can we expect that his Presidency would push for carbon credits or limit coal fired energy plants? Would his implied similar "thinking" cause Americans to have to join a National Healthcare Program like Mitt Romney tried in Mass. or Obama tried to push on all of us? He hasn't distanced himself from either of these issues so it is fair to believe he supports their concepts.

BUT, Newt might just be the best alternative Conservatives and all of Americans, have. We are mainly concerned with restoring America to its God given, God directed glory: and no one is perfect. Do we elect Newt, "thinking" there might be some things about him we will regret; or do we vote for someone we already disagree with, while hoping they would do right?

I know! Why don't we vote for Newt Gingrich for President, and then vote a bunch of conservatives into the Senate to keep him in check? Those guys in the House of Representatives have already got our back; a few more in the Senate might just clinch what the grass roots people are looking for.
