Does anyone have any type of connections to get some help to a Veteran that lives in Lake Park Ga. here's his story.
LAKE PARK, GA -
A retired Moody air force base staff sergeant may have only a few weeks left to live after a six year battle with cancer.
Jack Mester's home has deteriorated during his illness, and he's worried about the condition in which he'll leave it for his wife and daughter who are also dealing with serious illnesses.
Jack Mester is a man with an inspirational career. His service for our country exceeds 20 years of duty. He retired from Moody after taking part in Desert Storm as an F-16 crew chief and many other operations.
"I don't consider my self a hero or a person who should be looked up and admired to, I'm just a common man and I'm just trying to do my best," said Mester.
Mester has been fighting esophageal caner for six years and it's about to take his life. His wife suffers from diabetes and lupus and his daughter has epilepsy. The medical bills keep piling up.
"Living on a limited budget, that really hurts because I pay my bills with what SSI gives me and the little money that I have from retirement doesn't go very far," says Mester.
From being sick for so many years his home has been seriously neglected.
After the family's central air condition unit went out, they had to resort to window units, because they couldn't afford to replace it.
The White House re-election campaign wants to make a deal. In exchange for GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney releasing five years of tax returns, they will stop criticizing him for not releasing more. While hiding behind the skirt of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the White House campaign alleges there may be as many as ten years when Romney evaded paying income taxes.
Romney says that over the past decade he has paid at least 13 percent in federal income taxes. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, a non-partisan group, middle income families average paying 12.8 percent in federal income tax.
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-campaign-offers-romney-5-tax-disclosure-114057169.html
Critics complain that Romney pays too few taxes. At his income level, Romney pays plenty of taxes. Romney made every penny he has. Hence every dime he uses to make investments has already been taxed at wage income rates. Romney pays a lower tax rate than wage earners because a majority of his income comes from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate than wages. Investment income is taxed at a lower rate because, unlike wages, investments are at risk.
If Romney was guilty of income tax evasion, the IRS would already be after him and his campaign for the White House would long be over. The IRS falls within the Department of Treasury. At the behest of the White House, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the IRS would be all over Romney like a ravenous pack of hyenas.
Romney has released his 2010 tax records and vowed to release his 2011 returns. That matches the number of returns released in 2008 by Senator John McCain when he was the GOP candidate. The number of tax returns released by McCain was never an issue.
This is not Let’s Make A Deal, and David Axelrod is not Monty Hall. For Mitt Romney only a booby prize or worse waits behind curtain number three.
This bait and switch by the White House and their “progressive” co-conspirators is more than simply a distraction from the issues.
Throughout a shadowy, veiled, mystery shrouded political career where his own past has been intentionally concealed, obtaining confidential information about political opponents and distorting that information to smear them has been the signature move of this candidate.
Remember, the current Oval Office occupier is the same clandestine, shadowy figure caught in an open-mic moment with then Russian president Dmitry Medvedev saying that after his re-election he would have “more flexibility”.
Flexibility for…?
Three members of a Russian punk band were found guilty and sentenced to two years in jail for protesting against Russian president Vladamir Putin. The band members were arrested on March 3rd and charged with “hooliganism”. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30 have been in jail ever since.
What kind of flexibility is this secretive, anti-business, hostile to constitutionally protected individual Liberty White House promising to a Russian president who imprisons people for free speech?
Is this flexibility related to the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Internal Revenue Service each purchasing multi-thousands of rounds of hollow point bullets?
Could this flexibility include plans to tighten the iron grip of power by imposing Martial Law and suspending elections to ensure he can finish the “fundamental transformation” of America through the imposition of a form of government completely foreign to every principle espoused by its Founding Fathers?
By agreeing to release any additional tax returns, Mitt Romney would be making a crucial mistake. Let the White House re-election campaign go into grand mal seizure. Let them scream like banshees and howl at the moon. Let them cry like babies. Let them wet themselves. Let them posture, threaten, intimidate and bully. You can bet your underwater sub-prime mortgage they will do anything, be it lie, cheat and steal to win this election.
To borrow a phrase from another popular television game show: No deal.
Even though the media portrays it differently, most of us in the Occupy movement are in basic agreement with the Tea Party on a number of items. We believe this is one we can agree on - and ask for your support in Helping to Take back our Country. The Plea Bargain System - An Evil Destroying America? http://youtu.be/VSZZXgevT7k
Politically speaking, Navy SEALs aren’t the safest targets to rail against in a presidential race, but the Obama campaign isn’t hesitating to take down a group of former SEALs who’ve criticized the president’s national security decisions.
On Thursday morning, campaign officials waged a full court press against the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund, a group of former U.S. Special Forces and intelligence officials accusing President Obama of leaking vital national security secrets and taking too much credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. When the group launched its anti-Obama media campaign Wednesday, consisting of TV ads and a 22-minute film, it wasn’t clear if Obama officials would avoid a potentially messy confrontation or refute the military veterans publicly. But now the campaign has made clear it views the attacks in the same light as the 2004 John Kerry “Swift Boat” attack ads, which, however misleading, were painfully effective.
“The Republicans are resorting to ‘Swift Boat’ tactics because when it comes to foreign policy and national security, Mitt Romney has offered nothing but reckless rhetoric,” Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told Reuters’ Mark Hosenball last night. Taking a direct shot at the leaders of OPSEC, an Obama campaign official lambasted the group’s accusations about national security leaks this morning. “No one in this group is in a position to speak with any authority on these issues and on what impact these leaks might have,” said the official, speaking on background, “and it’s clear they’ve resorted to making things up for purely political reasons.”

US president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle paid tribute to Jenny and her colleagues who are credited with saving the lives of some of those injured in the massacre.
PHD student James Holmes has been charged in relation to the shootings which left 12 people dead.
However, her family has now been plunged into a sense of grief of their own. Jenny was out swimming in a lake close to her home when she is believed to have drowned.
Her husband Greg Pinson and five-year-old son Jack are struggling to come to terms with the loss of a "wonderful mother".
Heartbroken
Her mother Brigid, who was unable to fly to Denver for the funeral, added: "I am heartbroken, it is just terrible, terrible. She was such a wonderful person who was just so full of life and a wonderful mother who loved Jack so much," she said.
"I will miss her so much. Her brothers and sisters went over for the funeral and we had a little mass for her here. She could light up a room when she walked into it."
Jenny studied to be a nurse in Denver in the nineties and decided to settle there.
She was a GAA fanatic and founded the Denver Gaels ladies football club.
The club posted an emotional tribute on its website, describing Jenny as a "loving and devoted mother" and a "proud Meath woman".
"Every team has its ups and downs, its wins and losses ... the Pinson and Gallagher families, the Gaels and our Irish community suffered a great loss. Jennifer Gallagher passed on, leaving a wake of sorrow, sadness and loving memories.
"When you met Jenny she brightened up your day and wanted to know how you were doing. Others always came first in the most natural and sincere way.
"In her vocation as a nurse, she cared for those with most acute needs in the burn unit, the ER and most recently was recognized for her work with the Aurora shooting victims by President Obama. We were all very proud of her"
A special memorial mass is due to take place in Duleek on August 26.

Howdy all! What is this world coming to? You look around and you can see the signs. They’re all over the place! Every town, every block, even the animals YES THE ANIMALS know it! It’s coming soon. It’s……..WINTER!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! We won’t have the 100+ temps any more, we won’t have short sleeve shirts. WE WON’T HAVE SUN TAN!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!?!?!?
Any hoo,..

We are either a United people, or we are not. If the former, let us, in all matters of general concern act as a nation, which have national objects to promote, and a national character to support. If we are not, let us no longer act a farce by pretending to it. ~ George Washington, letter to James Madison, 1785
There is a great message here tonight. And it is for Obama specifically; leading the flock, DYING for the flock, not having the flock do your bidding.
But I want to share a bit about my experience in layoffs, and how that relates to the claim about Romney killing that woman. In my post-military career, I have been blessed with great jobs. There are times that being a manager you have difficult things to do. And, at times, your manager has difficult things to do. I have had the responsibility to offer recommendations for layoff names. It sucks. And, as I’ve mentioned before, my name was recommended for layoff. So I have the unique perspective being placed on both sides of the fence. There is an issue that has been totally missed. So may I share?
When you have to lay off personnel, there is a process to follow. Not everyone does it exactly the same, but the management team has to decide what positions they can do without to fit a budget. Then those in the positions need to be notified. Some companies offer extensions for some benefits to help during transition. But in all, the employee is notified that the management decision is made, and you have to go. The management TEAM, not the manager at the top makes the decision. The first line management team discusses with the next level team, and so on up to the CEO’s direct reports. Now, the list is approved ensuring that the personnel loss meets the needs for budgetary limitations. So, if the management team makes the decision, where is the claim against everyone in the Bain group? In fact, Bain is a financial company that supports other companies. So where is the outrage against the CEO of the company the man worked for? Example, Bain didn’t change the name of Staples, or Dominos. Do you eat Bain Pizza? Do you get your office supplies at Bain supply? No! There is a company that has its own CEO. Why isn’t that company’s CEO charged like Romney? And back to me. My wife has an illness that will be with her the rest of her life. I got laid off from a government contractor, in part due to the end of the ARRA funding. So, if my wife had complications with her illness while I was unemployed, should I have sued Obama for letting the ARRA money run out?
My point is this; the CEO of a company cannot be solely responsible for any actions that occur after a layoff. If anyone was to succeed in a loss suit, they would have to go after their direct supervisors, and their supervisors. They are the ones who made the decision. So why is there no effort to go after the remainder of managers from that company the guy worked for? Because there is no case. It is only to rile up people against Romney. There is no way that Romney could ever be held liable for the woman’s death. But, if so, Pandora’s Box would spring wide open with thousands of lawsuits against many CEO’s all over the country, even the world. And, Obama would be right there in the midst as a defendant himself. I would do that.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!

"Obama"ism is not of US..."Forwarding" a part of US...
This explains why I forward stuff:
An old cowboy was riding his trusty horse followed by his faithful dog along
an unfamiliar road. The cowboy was enjoying the new scenery, when he
suddenly remembered dying, and realized the dog beside him had been dead for
years, as had his horse. Confused, he wondered what was happening, and where
the trail was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall that looked like fine
marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch topped by a
golden letter "H" that glowed in the sunlight.
Standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like
mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like gold.
He rode toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one
side. Parched and tired out by his journey, he called out, 'Excuse me, where
are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right
up.'
As the gate began to open, the cowboy asked, 'Can I bring my partners, too?'
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The cowboy thought for a moment, then turned back to the road and continued
riding, his dog trotting by his side.
After another long ride, at the top of another hill, he came to a dirt road
leading through a ranch gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As
he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and
reading a book.
'Excuse me,' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Sure, there's a pump right over there. Help yourself.'
'How about my friends here?' the traveler gestured to the dog and his horse.
'Of course! They look thirsty, too,' said the man.
The trio went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned
hand pump with buckets beside it. The traveler filled a cup and the buckets
with wonderfully cool water and took a long drink, as did his horse and dog.
When they were full, he walked back to the man who was still standing by the
tree. 'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'That's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was
Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the glitzy, gold street and fake pearly gates?
That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you angry when they use your name like that?'
'Not at all. Actually, we're happy they screen out the folks who would leave
their best friends behind.'
Sometimes, we wonder why friends forward things to us without writing a
word. Maybe this explains it:
When you're busy, but still want to keep in touch, you can forward emails.
When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep in contact, you can
forward jokes. When you have something to say, but don't know exactly how,
you can forward stuff.
A 'forward' lets you know you're still remembered, still important, still
cared about.
So the next time you get a 'forward,' don't think of it as just another
joke. Realize you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end
just wanted to send you a smile.
P.S. : You're welcome at my watering hole anytime.
If your patriotism needs a booster shot, this is it!!!

What is America’s mainstream republican leadership in the RNC or the Mitt Romney presidential campaign afraid of, by not letting Sarah Palin take the podium?
Are they in dread that Sarah Palin will wow the convention and America by drawing from her deep well of passionate and fervent feelings for America’s families suffering in the heartland? Does the Romney campaign feel somehow skittish that she will make a better case against Obama’s growing nightmarish handling of America’s economy and his intentional goal to undermine the U.S. constitution, than Romney or Ryan can? There are a lot of questions but no real honest answers available.
One answer to this lingering campaign non-commitment, is a petition supporting Palin speaking at the convention. You can sign and circulate it, to show your support for her continued conservative leadership and need to speak at the upcoming GOP Convention. Supporting her is a matter of principle not political gamesmanship. Let your principles and voice be heard.
After all, Governor Palin’s leadership has been, and continues to be genuine, principled, and unselfish. She has forgone the insider politics as usual approach, and instead has embraced the Tea Party’s inclusiveness and grassroots focus on conservative issues and solutions that have been neglected by the glad handing backroom political deal makers of either party.
So forgive Sarah Palin if her tireless campaigning for the past several years has been to build a new sense of political, social and fiscal issue empowerment that translates into real grassroots power. It seem that since the epicenter of power has shifted from Washington D.C., the liberal pundits and certain GOP elected officials have decided that Palin’s commitment to grassroots political power is both something to be feared as well as neutralized.
Now is not the time for Romney and Ryan to head into a presidential campaign battle with their fingers crossed hoping that Palin’s conservative supporters will somehow transfer their support for her to the GOP team, because of Ryan’s vice presidential selection.
This notion misses the point completely. Leadership and rallying troops is not like trading horses. This is not a time for political games playing. President Obama has launched an all out assault upon the American Constitution, and he has shown that he will take it apart piece by piece, with executive orders as often as he deems necessary. In battle, you don’t leave a field general at home in war, because you fear her command leadership will outshine you. This is war for America’s future not a beauty contest!
After this presidential election has long been logged into the annuals of digital history, those who will inherit the results of this election will either live in a nation severely economically and constitutionally diminished or a nation rescued from the brink of socialism and biblical principle abandonment.
In 1976, then, Governor Ronald Reagan understood the need to fight to preserve an America, 100 years from then.
At that time, President Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan had fought for the presidential nomination, which President Ford won. Instead of being bitter about the political combat and preventing Reagan from taking the convention podium, President Ford offered Reagan the opportunity to speak to an America that was in crisis.
Reagan’s speech added to the energy of the convention and helped to set into motion a new and refreshed vibrancy within the conservative movement.
Ronald Reagan reminded the convention attendees and America that in 2076, no one at present would know what kind of a world Americans will inherit. He said, “Will they look back with appreciation and say, ‘Thank God for those people in 1976 who headed off that loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our world from nuclear destruction’?... This is our challenge; and this is why here in this hall tonight, better than we have ever done before, we have got to quit talking to each other and about each other and go out and communicate to the world that we may be fewer in numbers than we have ever been, but we carry the message they are waiting for.”
Sarah Palin is carrying the message that millions in America’s heartland are waiting for. An election is won with more than a focus on numbers and budgets or hundreds of millions of dollars spent on television attack ads.
It is won in the grassroots campaign trenches found in Ohio counties and Pennsylvania coal fields and in the farmlands of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois and in the kitchens of homes in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Florida and so many others. Sarah has been in the trenches and has worked tirelessly for the election of Tea Party backed conservative leaders like congressman Allen West of Florida, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, and many, many others.
Let her remind America at the convention, of the fierce urgency of now. As President Ronald Reagan eloquently stated, “Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith."
Sarah is keeping the faith for everyone in the nation’s heartland for the present and America’s future.
You can actually help to “Let Sarah Speak” by sending the RNC and the Romney campaign a message and sign the petition to “Let Sarah Speak.” Conservatives can send a message that like Reagan, you want to keep the faith for your family and America’s future. Help get the word out to other conservatives and let Sarah Speak. Click here to sign the petition. Its not over until it is over!

Here is the latest from MoveOn.org in the lie filled institutionalized “progressive” left’s smear campaign against Rep. Paul Ryan. How does MoveOn expect anyone outside their ever shrinking “progressive” echo chamber think-alike tank to take them seriously? Not only are the assertions about Paul Ryan based on misrepresentations, distortions and outright falsehoods, the only “supportive evidence” provided are links to MoveOn.org and other “progressive” sites like Center for American Progress (funded by George Soros), Think Progress, Daily Kos, Huffington Post and The Advocate. There is no question that the link sites are clearly biased in favor of “progressives” and are heartily devoted to spreading “progressive” propaganda.
If this is not a clear cut case of “I’m right because I said so” vapidity then 2 + 2 does not equal 4.
MoveOn even lies to its own people by saying MoveOn gets no big checks from CEOs. Apparently they count on membership from uninformed people who have never heard of the huge donations MoveOn has received over the years from billionaire George Soros.
Below is the text as sent out in an email by MoveOn:
Dear MoveOn member,
Paul Ryan is bad for America. He's anti-choice, and would give big tax cuts for millionaires, while raising taxes on the middle-class. He's a Tea Party favorite who takes donations from the billionaire Koch brothers, and he introduced one of harshest and most inhumane budgets in recent history. His ideological hero for many years called selfishness a virtue and charity an abomination.
But most people don't know just how bad Paul Ryan is. So we made this list of 10 things to know about Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential pick, Paul Ryan. Read it, then click here to share this list as an image on social media, or just forward this email! The future of America is on the line—from a woman's right to choose to our economy.
10 Things to know about Paul Ryan
1. His economic plan would cost America 1 million jobs in the first year. Ryan's proposed budget would cripple the economy. He'd slash spending deeply, which would not only slow job growth, but shock the economy and cost 1 million of us our jobs in 2013 alone and kill more than 4 million jobs by the end of 2014.1
2. He'd kill Medicare. He'd replace Medicare with vouchers for retirees to purchase insurance, eliminating the guarantee of health care for seniors and putting them at the mercy of the private insurance industry. That could amount to a cost increase of more than $5,900 by 2050, leaving many seniors broke or without the health care they need. He'd also raise the age of eligibility to 67.2
3. He'd pickpocket the middle class to line the pockets of the rich. His tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. He wants to cut taxes by $4.6 trillion over the next decade, but only for corporations and the rich, like giving families earning more than $1 million a year a $300,000 tax cut. And to pay for them, he'd raise taxes on middle- and lower-income households and butcher social service programs that help middle- and working-class Americans.3
4. He's an anti-choice extremist. Ryan co-sponsored an extremist anti-choice bill, nicknamed the 'Let Women Die Act,' that would have allowed hospitals to deny women emergency abortion care even if their lives were at risk. And he co-sponsored another bill that would criminalize some forms of birth control, all abortions, and in vitro fertilization.4
5. He'd dismantle Social Security. Ironically, Ryan used the Social Security Survivors benefit to help pay for college, but he wants to take that possibility away from future generations. He agrees with Rick Perry's view that Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and he supported George W. Bush's disastrous proposal to privatize Social Security.5
6. He'd eliminate Pell grants for more than 1 million low-income students. His budget plan cuts the Pell Grant program by $200 billion, which could mean a loss of educational funding for 1 million low-income students.6
7. He'd give $40 billion in subsidies to Big Oil. His budget includes oil tax breaks worth $40 billion, while cutting "billions of dollars from investments to develop alternative fuels and clean energy technologies that would serve as substitutes for oil."7
8. He's another Koch-head politician. Not surprisingly, the billionaire oil-baron Koch brothers are some of Ryan's biggest political contributors. And their company, Koch industries, is Ryan's biggest energy-related donor. The company's PAC and affiliated individuals have given him $65,500 in donations.8
9. He opposes gay rights. Ryan has an abysmal voting record on gay rights. He's voted to ban adoption by gay couples, against same-sex marriage, and against repealing "don't ask, don't tell." He also voted against the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which President Obama signed into law in 2009.9
10. He thinks an "I got mine, who cares if you're okay" philosophy is admirable. For many years, Paul Ryan devoted himself to Ayn Rand's philosophy of selfishness as a virtue. It has shaped his entire ethic about whom he serves in public office. He even went as far as making his interns read her work.10
If there was ever any doubt that Mitt Romney's got a disastrous plan for America—he made himself 100% clear when he picked right-wing extremist Paul Ryan as his running mate. Paul Ryan is bad for America, but we can't beat him if Americans don't know everything he stands for. Share this list with all your friends by clicking here, or simply forward this email.
Thanks for all you do.

The State Department is required by law to report what it knows about the brutality of the regimes to which Congress sends money and weapons. You can find these reports at www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2006/, and a list of governments that receive your foreign aid tax dollars at http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/foreign_commerce_aid.html. The top ten recipients of foreign aid are the governments of Israel, Egypt, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, South Korea, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil and Russia. Go ahead and look them up on the State Department site.
I left the following response to "want out" as I think they unwittingly prove a very critical point.
"Hey my friend... You seem to find all that is wrong very efficiently however have you attempted to find what works here?? If we continue to act like if it is not perfect and catered to me then you are absolutely right... we are lost. Look we are a group of people that work our ass off to pay taxes for others to sit at their computers on college loans and welfare to pump our the crap that keeps us sunk. Why not offer you input so as to help pave the path rather than complain about the potholes."
We are so easily led into the minutia of the irrelevant. We are bickering about getting a little wet in the face of a 100 foot tsunami. Look gang, we need to defiantly get a little thicker skinned if we are to preserver. We are continually brow beaten into submission and ignorance by the very forces we are attempting to restrain. This is done via a simple strategy known as divide and conquer. Do not let yourselves be drawn into majoring in the minor leagues of life. Stand tall and Stand firm. Bear one another's short falls and strengthen them with knowledge and love...
How do I get out of this madness, this is the worst site I've visited after FOXnews, why so hard to navigate????
Remove my name and all info, completely!!!!
Why can't I use an alias rather than full name; why can't I upload a pic; why can't I find answers without having to JOIN a Help Desk; what's with NO Contact Us link on EVERY page of EVERY sent email; If you can't do better than this, you shouldn't be allowed online!!!!
No small wonder that you can't kick the libturds to the curb, you don't know what you're doing!!!! They should have been rendered helpless over the past 3+ yrs!!!! I don't think so!!!! GET IT TOGETHER!!!!
Ryan knows the numbers and just how bad the economy is !
IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE A FOOL ! [MOST AMERICANS ARE FOOLS IN THIS ONE]
I have said I would not vote for Romney but this is why I will !
Part 1, get elected [ Romney/Ryan must lie to the fools in order to do this]
Part 2, After election tell the public that they were mistaken and the economy was worse than they thought !
Part 3, End the FED and return to PM Based money and cut the budget enough to save the USA along with a
total change in the tax system [ I suspect it will not be based on labor income ]
[ may be a false hope on my part]
How big must the cuts be?
You don't want to know but way bigger than you would accept unless you were desperate, and you will be.
you will hate to read this but you should read it or you are one of the fools

COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER !!
Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript:
"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers. The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart. In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent. I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!
"Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.
"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"

Beautiful rest to those pretty eyes
Wonderful dreams until you rise
Upon that time, Heaven knows
His Love for you Forever grows
Drink to Him that Golden Wine
The Thirst of Righteousness really shines
Taste His bread forever sweet
To lay your Crowns before His feet
For in that day of Ever last
Holds you close with hand held clasp
So lay your head upon His breast
Let those pretty eyes to rest
Tomorrow brings a sweeter Joy
Till then, good night, and ahoy.
Did anyone notice the illegals will be in line ahead of you for a job at lower wages ?
I'd like to write a short note of outrage about Obama's legalizing a few million illegal aliens with a wave of his wand. If he is sworn to defend the law, how can he therefore violate the law and get away with it? Can he be challenged in court by the US citizenry over this brazen act where the executive branch has acted unilaterally and bypassed Congress?...Without regard for the law or the security of this country (have illegals been given health inspections; been screened for criminal or drug records) and the well-being of its citizens (accepting them as citizens may drive down wages), Obama snatches 3 benefits for his drive to power: (1) he bypasses the effect of the Supreme Court's rulings that were unfavorable to his eggheaded illegal reforms (namely, allowing police to request documentation) practically in one fell swoop; (2) he appeals to the "minority" vote during an election year; (3) he gains a potential few million votes from grateful illegals (who shouldn't be here in the first place) for his party that will surely grow exponentially in upcoming years, with more illegals clamoring for amnesty...I'm also surprised that more strong, impassioned voices have not been raised in far greater numbers over this devilish doing. What organizations and movements are out there that can help solidify opposition against this despotic move from the current administration? I'd like to join in concrete action against it. I look forward to hearing from my fellow Tea Party members on this subject, whose well-informed wisdom and opinions I respect.
