HA HA HA OR IS IT HO HO HO

When there was an impasse on the debt ceiling argument, politicians decided to give power to only 12 people to solve the problem, 6 D's and 6R's (so why do we elect all those politicians when we only actually need 12?).  Obama had already declared that he wanted Medicare benefits reduced and he wanted the Defense budget reduced, and if the twelve couldn't come to a solution...what a ya know, Medicare and Defense would be reduced, along with some domestic budgets.

So here we are, expecting something of a miracle, even with all the compromising one can conjure up, right back where we started from and Obama wins; no agreement therefore, reductions; who'd a thunk?

Don't misunderstand me, I don't give Obama credit for a "slick willy" type maneuver. The credit goes to Axlerod or any one of his many strategists, not Obama; he's just the face in front of the teleprompter, and we learned a lesson from the Wizard of Oz not to "pay any attention to the man behind the screen".

But the man behind the screen is actually overjoyed by the failure of the "Super Committee" because America continues on without a budget for some three years; Democrats are not in favor of spending cuts; Democrats want a trillion dollar tax increase, and Republicans just couldn't find enough to give to the D's to get them to agree. Harry Reid said "the Republicans never found the courage to ignore the Tea Party extremists", as if there is a third political party.

What happened here is simple: Obama didn't want any sort of a budget or agreement because he wants to be able to "dictate" through the stimuli what he wants to do and not have to answer to anyone where the money is, and what is being accomplished. There is no accountability. Dictators operate that way, and Obama prefers them as friends than the capitalists of the world. Is there any wonder he would act like the people he admires?

And now the Federal Reserve holds more of our debt than any other country in the world including China. How is it possible for the Federal Reserve to print money whenever it wants to, and as much as it wants to?

I am a REAL Christian, born again by the spirit and determination of God at a time of His choosing, and although there are a lot of Americans claiming to be Christians, it truly doesn't look like it. Too many people want hand-outs and a free ride, none of which is based in Christianity. We have a boat load of politicians who constantly lie to us and enrich themselves through acts they legislate illegal for us to do. Martha Stewart went to jail for a single act, which was less than the average Senator or Congressman does on a daily basis. We are living in a world that is on the brink of nuclear war with a madman that claims his religion requires him to start this war so his savior can return. We have a nation the rest of the world depends upon to stop this madman from being able to carry out his acts against the world, but none of the nations will back this little country of Israel. Instead those same nations want to see Israel destroyed. Yet, "there is nothing new under the sun".

The first century Christians were martyred for their beliefs, and most, willingly smiling or singing while the lions tore at their flesh or they burned while sitting on a brass chair in a fire; and we want to be on the government dole to the extent we vote into office people who are not even slightly Christian, and allow them to add their name to the Christian Role without a whimper from us, as long as they put OUR names on one of the many government programs that take money from one people and give it to us. Do the words "if anyone will not work, neither let him eat" ring a bell? What a stark contrast to those first disciples and Apostles, who sold all they had and gave so others could have.

If you are one of the 79% of Americans who claim to be a Christian, where are you on these issues? What scripture verses do you use to promote your brand of Christianity? Do you have your hand out hoping to get it filled or is your hand extended to give some of what God has provided for you, to others? Who do you vote for and why? Do you think God intended for non-Christians to govern over Christians?

I submit to you, the work of the Federal Government has for too long, governed with a selfish motive and those who have, have enriched themselves and lavished fine vacations and other benefits upon themselves at our expense, and continue to do so. They mock the institutes set up by Godly people and have torn down any vestige of the once predominate Christian way of life America was based upon. God will not be mocked; there is coming a terrible storm. Will you be willing to stand, will you be able to stand? Are you still depending on those politicians who have proven they want what is best for them, and not for you? Are you willing to make the next election a dramatic turning point in American history? Are you willing to suffer through what is inevitable because of decades of lavish politicking, in order to right all the wrongs? Don't look anymore for the government to provide for you. Let us make this the day we decided to stand for Christian principles.

For those who know God, pray for this country and for Godly people to lead this nation (2 Chron. 7:13-14). It is never too late, but even Noah had to prepare for the coming flood, and the flood did come. Let us pray God will be merciful, as He sends His judgement upon a nation deserving His anger and wrath, for we have allowed perverse sinners to ravage His children, His nation and treat them in an unGodly way.

NEWT THE HARE GINGRICH

Instead of Newt we might want to call him Hare Gingrich. Don't panic it is merely a symbolic gesture rather than a derivative of his name. However, he is slowly and steadily gaining momentum in this Presidential primary.

As good as he can be for this country, he has a lot of Liberal baggage that makes us cringe. The pundits suppose it is more important to vote for "someone who can beat Obama" rather than a true conservative, but the last time we did that we got Dubya and he gave this country a lot of the problems that exist today: NCLB (no child left behind) a Kennedy proposal: he didn't veto the McCain/Finegold Campaign Finance Reform bill he promised to while running for the Presidency, in which McCain said "all that election money can make a good man dishonest": he tried to push Meyers through to the Supreme Court bench; he signed the American Dream Downpayment Act in which the federal government would help 40,000 families a year with their downpayment and closing costs, and now we have Freddie and Fannie needing a constant influx of billions of dollars to keep it afloat.

Gingrich has made a commercial with Pelosi stating "we must take action to prevent climate change" (May 12, 2011); he supports in individual mandate for health care; he attacked the Paul Ryan bill which by doing so supports the Obama Administration against the Conservatives, effectively cutting Ryan off at the knees calling his bill "social engineering"; Newt has promoted a government subsidy for health care on May 16, 2011; on May 14, 2011 Hilary stated " I find we have a lot in common in the way we see the problem" (concerning Newt and health care).

Newt is a compromiser. What may be called his greatest asset is his greatest nemesis; he is "politically connected". If he were to be elected to the Presidency, he knows where all the bones are; he knows who owes who, favors, he may even collect on a few of his own; he knows the establishment money people and what they want; he could put together a very formidable cabinet, but they would come from the establishment Republicans and not the Conservative side of the party.

He has promised to invoke 50 to 250 "Executive Orders" the day after he is inaugurated; isn't that a lot like being a Dictator? Don't we have 535 men and women who are supposed to present, and make legislation? I never could understand why no one opposes "Executive Orders".

Newt is an historian and has a better grasp on American History and World History than do the rest of the candidates and most of the 535 people now holding office, but that doesn't make his ideas the right ideas.

I don't like his "you caught me" boyish grin; I don't like his political background and his silly "Contract with America II" as if doing the right thing is less important than to promise to do the right thing; it seems so childish to me. I'm a big boy. I can take it. I'll watch you and make up my own mind. Don't think that you can get my support by promising me you'll do this or that. Hey, Newt, you've got history. I know and can find out what sorts of things you have done. Please don't think so little of me as to believe all you have to do is promise to be a good boy and I should vote to turn the country over to you.

But do we have a better choice?

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?
