PREZ OBAMA HAS THE ANSWER: POND SCUM

I've written about this before, but it bears some reiteration, since the President has reopened this topic, one I thought was dead because it is so ridiculous. I'm talking about ALGAE, the green, or blue-green slime that floats upon body's of water.

The President has spent billions of taxpayers dollars trying to get solar, wind and battery power to replace the need for gasoline in automobiles; most of the companies the President has given our hard earned money to have gone bankrupt or are asking for more money, now he wants the American companies that take tax payers money from the federal government to consider, ALGAE.

I hope this isn't going to be too hard to follow, but here goes. The Progressives, through unelected agencies, have written strict rules and regulations that hinder many of the companies that supply a good portion of our standard of living, through products and needs of the American people; coal plants that produce electricity; oil companies that drill for oil, and the gasoline producers that take that oil and make it useful. They are currently writing rules and regulations for farmers and major food providers like Monsanto. Some of these regulations seem to make sense, but not in the big scheme of things when taken as a whole, like Monsanto producing "round-up ready" cotton so the foliage can be sprayed via aircraft to kill it before the gins come in to harvest the cotton, or corn that isn't capable of reproducing; seeds have to be bought from Monsanto every season, and the corn has been so genetically engineered, it actually kills butterflies and such that normally pollinate the plants to produce the corn, and the need farmers have of continuous and enormous amounts of fertilizers for this type of food production. These sorts of technology the Progressives tout as futuristic; the answer to the worlds' clean air, and food production problems. But therein lies some of the problems.


 "One of the great transformations of agriculture over the past century has been the expanded use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate is one of the most important of these fertilizers. In recent years, this compound has ranked in the top fifteen among synthetic chemicals produced in the United States. The increased use of nitrates as fertilizer has led to some serious environmental problems. All nitrates are soluble, so whatever amount is not taken up by plants in a field is washed away into groundwater and, eventually, into rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes. In these bodies of water, the nitrates become sources of food for algae and other plant life, resulting in the formation of algal blooms. Such blooms are usually the first step in the eutrophication of a pond or lake" (freedrinkingwater.com)

Eutrophication is a process in which bodies of water (lakes, ponds, and rivers) receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive growth of algae. The two most common nutrients that initiate eutrophication are nitrogen and phosphorous, two limiting nutrients in the growth of algae. These two nutrients are usually introduced to the body of water through fertilizer run-off. The uncontrolled growth of algae and their subsequent descent into the depths of the body of water stimulates an active benthic community (bacteria), which depletes oxygen levels due to respiration. The algae may also cover the surface of the water, reducing the amount of light that penetrates into the photic zone, decreasing photosynthesis in aquatic autotrophs. The decreased level of dissolved oxygen can result in the death of any number of larger communities. (answers.com).

So now here we have the President, and correct me if I'm wrong, promoting the excessive use of fertilizers to have this stuff run-off the land or seep into the ground to end up in our bodies of water, that we swim in, fish in, boat in, or that even ends up as drinking water. He wants a lot of algae so it can be used to replace gasoline, so our farmers have got to find ways to over-use these fertilizers (maybe some of those farmers' subsidies can help) and pollute our water.

This isn't the end; by doing away with oil, the President will then have to find a way to get algae to fly our airplanes, move our school buses, fuel the trucks that move the produce from farmer to grocery store, move our military on the ground and in the air (the Dept.of Defense uses 360,000 barrels of fuel oil a day), plow snow, operate those earth movers and landscaping machinery some of which build and repair our bridges, highways and airports. WOW, are we going to need a lot of ALGAE. ( The United States consumes 140 billion gallons per year of liquid fuel. Algae can produce 3,000 gallons of liquid fuel per acre in a year, so it would take 45 million acres of algae to provide 100% of our liquid fuel requirements. No costs per gallon have been established).

Then the President will have to find a way to use algae to make plastic; you know that awesome by-product of oil that gives us....computer housing, monitors, cell phones, tooth brushes, toothpaste tubes, paper clips, pencils, storage cases, automobile parts, chairs, lawn furniture, etc. you fill in what you use.

I think I better stop. This algae stuff makes as much sense as solar energy, or battery powered living. (did you know there is a company that makes mini-nuclear power systems that can produce electricity for a community of 25,000 home for about $250.00 a year for each home plus the cost of the system that is replaceable every 7-10 years and is not harmful to anything?).

So, is anyone up for a change of the people in power? I am. I want reality, not pie-in-the-sky academia dictating stupidity.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM UNELECTED AGENCY HEADS

Call me cynical, but I cannot but believe that the President has ulterior motives behind his decision to allow a certain "Native American" tribe in Wyoming, to kill the American symbol; the Bald Eagle, as a religious right.

He intends to honor a request by this tribe because of their "deeply held religious beliefs" concerning the Eagle.

Well, this Eagle killing religious activity the President has "signed-off" on is the stepping stone which will be used as a leverage for other religious requests.

Federal law prohibits the killing of bald eagles in almost all cases. The government keeps eagle feathers and body parts in a federal repository and tribal members can apply for them for use in religious ceremonies.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has given the OK for an American Indian tribe to kill two bald eagles for religious purposes.The decision comes after the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the agency‘s refusal to allow them to do so was a violation of tribal members’ religious freedom,
(be certain the President was contacted concerning this matter).

For the Arapaho, this is an annual Sun Dance ritual; the operative word is annual. This precedent will recur each and every year; it has to; how can the federal government deny an identical request in the future?

If there is no way to stop this President or any other President from allowing a group of people to violate federal laws because of religious beliefs, we are on a slippery slope. And it is an even worse problem if Congressionally approved organizations have such autonomy that they can make these decisions on their own. What will be the argument against the same thing happening in the future, for similar reasons?  This "religious action" may find its way into our lives and the eroding of the Constitution in a very serious way: Picture this; One day in the future, a Muslim wants to enact Sharia Law in his community or dare I say the state he governs, and the precedent will find its roots in this Eagle killing religious "waiver" the Fish and Wildlife Service has handed out. THAT'S THE WAY PROGRESSIVES WORK!
They take a hold of a situation that has no reason for change, demonize it and make changes to "fix" the "problems" they manufactured, then impose "improved" rationale; VIOLA, a new way of life for America: no Constitutional Amendments required, just a department the lazy, gutless Congress produced to do their dirty work, which now is autonomous and cannot be stopped without eliminating the department...and when was the last time you heard of a governmental agency being dissolved?

This isn't just about killing eagles. It may be for the Arapaho, but for Progressives.....they never miss an opportunity to make changes to this once great nation, into something we senior citizens have never seen nor could have imagined was coming.

I'm certain there is more to come, but as naive as I am, I cannot even imagine or predict what Progressives will do, or are willing to do.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE PAST

Evenings in the Bible with Isaac Errett…..June 11, 1881




“ The daughters of Moab have bewitched the sons of Israel, and spiritual whoredom provokes the curse of God in spiritual barrenness, leanness and impotency.  The rage of covetousness in the Church; the reign of pride and luxury; the captivity of God’s people, dragged in the silken chains of carnal pleasure at the chariot wheels of a triumphant world: these are the sad spectacles witnessed today. The Church is enslaved, the world is master. Lured to the feasts and revelries and idolatrous abominations of the world  Christians with their heads in the lap of this Delilah, are shorn of their strength, and with their limbs fettered, and their eyes put out, are made to grind at the mill of their enemies and do the service of slaves for those who hold them in thrall. “For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, and what communion hath light with darkness, and what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?”   ‘Beware of the doctrine of Balaam’.  “


Is your church an example of Christ and what He has done to a sin-filled world, or is it an example of the world and what sin-filled people do when mingled together with the rest of the world, portraying themselves as redeemed, yet not able to put off the wiles and ways of the world?

Do our churches represent a redeemed people, wholly dedicated to a God that, for no reason other than His Grace and Mercy, has forgiven our sins and welcomes us to spend eternity with Him? Are we a prepared people, ready for a Spiritual life in which not all the people we know today, will be with us? Are we clinging to our children and our spouses or our parents, instead of Jesus? Search yourselves to know if you are saved, and make yourself ready so when the time comes you can say, "Father, I'm home."

THE JOBS PRESIDENT? BObama

I don't know, maybe I'm just a skeptic but when I read that President B.O. is focused like a laser on job creation, and then I read that his motor vehicle company (GMC) cannot sell any of the automobiles it is producing and has to lay off 1300 employees.......ahh.. Ya know I waz jus wonderin why I should think he has any idea of how to create employment? I mean, didn't he take 50 billion dollars of the tax payers money and invest it in the Government Motor Company that is now laying off people? And didn't he take some more of our money and invest it in that defunct Solyndra Solar company and what about that battery company? .oh my, he has about failed at every company he has invested in, ah and he wants me to believe he can create jobs for Americans?

The list is too large to print here but the gist of BO's plan to stimulate the economy is known as fascism; wherein the government buys into private industry and "controls" them from that day forward. $220 billion to Citigroup, to"insure" against loses? Isn't that a problem for private industry to figure out? And $775 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack to "reduce home mortgage loans"..what? And aren't they still asking for more money while handing out large bonuses to the upper management people as if to say "up yours". And isn't that just a nice way of saying the government is buying up all the mortgage loans so IT can own what up to now was called private property?

Folks, we are in a Post Constitutional America and if you haven't figured that out, you've got your head in the sand. Hey look at Ms. Fluke (and isn't that name appropriate?) who wants taxpayers to pay for all the sex she wants to have as often as she can possibly have it, and be protected through contraception. You know what, I want to get drunk every other day, but can't afford it...why isn't there a government program for me to get all the booze I want to indulge myself in what it is I want to do? THIS IS NOT MY FATHER'S AMERICA AND THIS IS NOT WHY HE FOUGHT IN WWII.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think the current Republican party can or wants to do any better. Romney is not the kind of Conservative the Tea Party people are looking for. We do need a Gingrich or a Rubio or a Ryan, or a Palin, who by the way is about the best choice we have, and we know what she stands for.

The two party system has given America a pretty mixed up bag of the constitution: Electors are supposed to vote for a President and the person getting the second largest number of votes would be Vice President, instead the two party system has it worked out so that the public "kind of " lets them know whom they want as Pres. and V. Pres. ( and don't forget, the two party system gives us only 2 choices) and then the two party system makes certain the electors will vote for the "ticket" they present during the elections and the electors are obligated to not vote differently than the public has indicated.....I MEAN how convoluted is this?  The twelfth amendment states: "the Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President and of all persons voted for as Vice-President .......read the thing, it is nothing like what is going on today. WHY? because of the two party system. There isn't a lick of difference between the two, in terms of where they are taking this country. The whole thing stinks! And not a one of the politicians we elect want to correct it or make a difference.

Sarah Palin is the only person who sounds like she has a better understanding of the original intent of the Constitution and I believe she can be made to see what needs to be done to put the last 100 years of the political system of this country, in the trash can.

PEOPLE!  we need leadership, not in one of the existing party's but a leadership which will strive to return this country to its roots; the Constitution that puts the power of the people in the hands of the people, and makes the states, the competitors to encourage entrepreneurialism. The Constitution as adopted starts off...
WE THE PEOPLE......in Order to form a more perfect Union............establish this Constitution for the United States of America.  Currently, we do not have a more perfect Union. The two party system strives to make us as imperfect as can be imagined so they (the politicians) can "fix" everything. Do you have any idea how many Federal Regulations there are to just live in your home? How about the amount of water to flow out of your shower head, and to make your toilet flush, and what kind of light bulbs you can use? The federal government regulates washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, dishwasher detergents, microwave ovens, toilets, heating and cooling systems, refrigerators, freezers, furnace fans, ceiling fans, fitness equipment, pacifiers, rattles, marbles, latex balloons, bunk beds, mattresses, televisions, radios, matchbooks, iPods, cell phones and on and on and on, FOLKS! I'm talking about the federal government, Not your state government. Again, the feds were supposed to be elected by state representatives, not popular vote, so WE THE PEOPLE can make them answerable to US! Therein lies your Term Limits; we are supposed to have the power to vote our state reps in and out of office, and they are supposed to send representatives to DC who will represent each state. The two party system did away with that, and now 100 Senators in DC and the President can dictate to the rest of us what they want us to do, and with the Super Pacs, their cohorts can spend endless amounts of money to get them re-elected to continue their taking over of America.

It is so obvious....can I be the only person who sees this? Even Rush Limbaugh doesn't re-connect America with its roots. He argues that a third party will only mess up the works, instead of arguing that there shouldn't be any party.......just people elected by us to serve us, period.!!
