The six contradictions of socialism in the United States of America: 1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized. 2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government. 4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer. 5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about. 6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries. Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

It's quiet amusing that folks will assume things if one forget's to log on via the tea party page, frankly it just made me fall out of my chair...Yes I'm aware that birth control is used to prevent an egg and sperm from coming together to form a human...It was funny due to how condescending (forgot who it was not important) came off as...Actually I'm on lo dose birth control myself for other medical reasons and do not agree for myself personally with the use of IUD's (I think that's what they are called?) and The Morning After Pill...Plan B eh no thanks...Now it's over the counter?! Uh what?!
First of all regardless of the moral aspects of that, health wise it's dangerous due to the high amounts of birth control in the pill. It can cause internal bleeding in younger gals, not to mention there isn't an age restriction for it any longer? What? I get not wanting folks to know really I do; because I attended a program called Mercy Ministries for the self injury I used to struggle with, and I spoke with some young women who had taken that pill and had complications afterwards not to mention the spiritual complexities of guilt etc.
The answer really for myself has been my unshakable faith, and facing the things struggled with as well as not avoiding them...The culture of avoidance has gotten many where they are now, and baby steps in a positive direction add up even over a months time...The culture of what's good for you is not good for me and it's all relative has frankly got to stop if any lasting change is to be had...
I spoke of this in an earlier blog post, change comes from first the individual then a group of folks of like mind, not the other way around...
Feel free to post your thoughts below, Thanks for reading :)
So, I painted over my speakers and web cam with silver paint it looks unique, bought my own web cam with a built in speaker so I choose when it's hooked up...Granted I know that when it is someone is watching but hey some security is better then none...Also a few good programs for one's computer to add more anonymity are the following
Private Internet Access (Paid Subscription) At seven dollars a month this is way worth it, though there might be better VPN's out there aside from building one's own this VPN is the best as far as price and value and the speed is pretty good.(VPN is a Virtual Private Network) I will say that this program dose not have port forwarding and that is pretty much the only complaint I have about this program. I recommend connecting to the swiss connection for the most security if you do decide to get this.
If anyone else has any ideas they would like to add about anonymity please feel free to add your suggestions in the comments below. Thanks again.
Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote an article stating that the only way for conservatives to reach black voters is to drop their colorblind idealism.
Dougherty wrote... “Conservatives in the GOP like to assail identity politics and tout their own ideology as one of color blindness. Sometimes this is stupidly marketed to black voters as a selling point for Republicans. "We don't categorize you by race," brags a Republican. The black audience hears: "We don't take the most salient part of your American political identity seriously." http://bit.ly/OqSMDT
I am a real-live black person. When I hear Republicans say "We don't categorize you by race", I think, “Thank you for respecting my intelligence enough not to pander to me.” Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, a Republican, dreamed of a day when Americans would focus on principles such as character rather than skin-color (race).
Civil rights leaders and Democrats have abandoned Dr King's vision of a colorblind America. Especially since Obama, the exploitation of race is the Democrats' super weapon to win every political battle. Anyone daring to oppose the black president's socialist/progressive agenda is bombarded with accusations of racism. Checkmate!
Dougherty appears to suggest that we conservatives can not simply stand up for what is right and true. We must adjust our message to fit the Democrats' false accusations and false assumptions.
For example. Dougherty thinks the GOP should back-off from their push for voter I-D laws because it looks like they are attempting to suppress the black vote. Mr. Dougherty, as a black conservative, I find the concept that blacks are too incompetent to find their way to acquire a photo I-D extremely insulting, demeaning and offensive. Democrats are fighting voter I-D because they seek to steal elections via voter fraud. Will Republicans waving the white flag on this issue win them black votes? I think not.
Dougherty thinks America's history of racial injustice causes blacks to deal with the issue of race every day. I beg to differ. Neither myself nor my black family, friends and associates deal with racial issues every day.
Despicably, liberals and Democrats strive to make race an issue, polarizing Americans; keeping the fires of racial tensions burning bright for political gain.
I reject Mr Dougherty's call for conservatives to abandon colorblind politicking. Why must we always allow Democrats and their media buddies to determine the rules of engagement?
We are all Americans and should be dealt with accordingly, rather than doing what the Democrats do; divide Americans into supposed victimized voting blocs and pandering to each group for political exploitation.
In the 1980s, as a young black kid clueless about politics, Ronald Reagan's one-size-fits-all conservative message of American exceptional-ism spoke to me. Reagan inspired me to be all I could be. His speeches made me feel good about myself and my country.
Admittedly, Conservatism will not resonate with everyone. Some people are born leeches and lazy; always looking for a free ride. These types feel entitled to the fruits of other folk's labors. Democrats love to pander to them.
But I believe in the character and goodness of a majority of the American people. When presented unfiltered by liberals, conservatism will find a lot of Americans eager to embrace it. Why? Because Conservatism is in-sync with the human spirit.
Please understand. Packaging the conservative message to appeal to various audiences is an excellent idea. However, watering down our principles or choosing not to challenge the Democrats' false narratives is foolish and wrong.
Certain principles have a universal appeal. Such principles bridge racial divides.
In the 1970s, I was a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art. My fellow black students at the mostly white college were extremely militant and anti-whitey. A group of them demanded that the Black Panthers be allowed to rally on campus.
I was stunned when these same black students approached me extremely excited about this awesome movie, “Rocky”, the Italian stallion. It was remarkable to witness these particular black students so passionately embracing a white boy. The magic ingredient was the “colorblind” principles espoused in that movie which spoke to the humanity in us all.
Mr Dougherty, I respectfully disagree with your article. As an American who happens to be black, I do not desire a “black version” of Conservatism which is rooted in true compassion and common sense.
We are Americans.

LATINOS FOR HONEST GOVERNMENT
Seek the truth – stand by the truth – live the truth.
Our agenda is to establish a government base on the truth and our Christian principles

We got the power to constraint the powers of this corrupt government. No man is above the law.
Fellow Texans, San Antonio, Bexar county judicial system is corrupt. Unless we first look for the basic cause of government corruption, there is no way we shall be able to find its fundamental solution. JUSTICE DELAY, is no justice at all, is the ROOT CAUSE of Government Corruption. The real cause behind corruption is absence of a moral leadership, moral authority and a "respectable justice system". The facts are that the justice system is broken and the people have lost their trust on this judicial system; Justice is not for the poor and the enforcement of the rule of law against rich, prominent characters and powerful corrupt government officials is none. Our justice is "POLITICALLY ADULTERATED" which means that it is dominated by politicians who consider themselves the superior elites of society at the expense of the rights of the working poor people of Texas.
The elites of society truly believe that the poor working Texan are intellectually inferior because they, the poor, have inferior education so much so that politicians think they are the so-called "guiding light" of the poor people WHICH IS NOT TRUE. Why? Because, the lawyers and politicians, are the most notorious abusers of the law where they feel they can simply steal the people’s money and cannot be made accountable for their wrongful acts, thanks to the corrupt justice system that they can control at will.
Fellow Texans, we the people have the power and the solution to this abuse of power and corruption; therefore, we must ACTIVATE our sovereign power of the people that has been enshrined in our Texas constitution Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER. REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient. The Texas politicians in our government have never recognized the people's sovereign power and authority, except only during election time for their election to office.
Therefore, in order to force the powerful political public officials, including the Governor, to recognize the people's power and authority, we the people must demand and be given their sovereign deciding voice in justice and keep away the deciding power of justice out of the hands of solo judges and solo prosecutors in all cases including probate, divorce and family cases. The only way to accomplish this is through a mandatory Grand Jury and Trial Jury Systems.
We the people must have a deciding voice in the investigatory and accusation phase of justice to indict in court any abusive powerful political official through the Grand Jury and, additionally, they must also have an adjudicatory deciding voice to try and convict guilty (or acquit innocent) criminal defendants in court. The people cannot be scared to decide in justice because they are not under the payroll of the government which means that their livelihood and employment with their private employers cannot be sabotaged by any "agent" or official of the government.
Fellow Texans freedom and justice is not free, we must expose corruption and demand justice for all.

Over 100 cases are in federal court challenging constitutional aspects of the Affordable Care Act. Most cases address a specific portion of the act and may alter a portion, but not overturn the entire law.
Three cases have potential to doom the entire law. These cases involve the Constitution’s Origination Clause which requires that “…bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives…”, and further provides “… the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.” To avoid the clause the Senate employs a process to “gut and replace” a House bill and pretend it was a revenue bill originated in the House.
The Origination Clause places responsibility for tax policy with the House of Representatives whose members have the shortest terms and represent the fewest citizens. The Senate practice of “gut and replace” frustrates the Origination Clause and exercises Senate power that the Constitution denies.

It's really sad it has come to deciding who lives and who dies...who are we as humans to decide who lives and dies? I'm sorry but the lack of four thought in this article and the bickering below is just trackless and easier to judge others behind the anonymity of one's computer screen on both sides of this 'issue' it's a non issue to myself life is life and death is death who are we to say who lives or who dies...My sisters little boy was born and man it was a joy to hold him and be made an aunt, she's a gem of a sister I'm proud of and married to the most loving husband I could hope for her...
Funny how God takes ashes and makes beautiful things out of them, and it breaks my heart because I wish others could see the trans-formative power of this...
Example: I am a graduate of mercy ministries and no longer self mutilate going on now two years (woot) with practical steps to get to the root issues and trudging through the mountain for seven months to come out the other side I am not ashamed of the healing that I have nor of the scars I bear because they are a story of grace and my own beauty for ashes story...Everyone is precious, I just wish they could see as much...
This was my response to the following article:

DOES ANYONE, ANYWHERE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON AN ALLEGATION POSTED ON ANOTHER INTERNET WEBSITE THAT : DOOR TO DOOR CONFISCATIONS BY THE GOV'T WAS UNDERWAY IN CONNECTICUT...AND THAT THERE WAS A "GAG ORDER IN EFFECT" SO THAT THE MEDIA COULDN'T REPORT IT TO THE NATION ???...AND ALSO , THE GOV'T WAS INTERFERING WITH ALL EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES IN AND OUT OF CONNECTICUT SO THE NEWS COULDN'T GET OUT ????........
DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS OR IS IT JUST A FALSE ALARM ??????....PLEASE CHECK YOUR SOURCES IN CONNECTICUT AND POST REPLIES !!!!!!!.....IF THIS IS TRUE, THE NATION NEEDS TO KNOW ASAP !!!!!!!!!!
“Mr. President, we will not let you run roughshod over our rights. We will challenge you in the courts, we will battle you at the ballot box. Mr. President, we will not let you shred our Constitution… It is decidedly not a time for the faint of heart. It is a time for boldness and action. The time is now. Stand with me, let us stand together for liberty.” – Senator Rand Paul
That message is the heart and soul of a possible Rand Paul run for the White House. He has urged us to imagine electing a President that is a “friend of liberty” who will defend the Constitution and push back against a federal government that is trampling our individual rights. Now is definitely the time for a “national revival of liberty” to restore the constitutional rights that have been under assault by the progressive cabal who have seized control of the Republic.
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the junior senator from Kentucky is seriously considering a presidential run in 2016. Like any smart, potential candidate he has consistently found a way to be up front on the great debates of the day and a perpetual center of media attention.
He was a huge hit at the recent CPAC event and his appeal has continued to grow across the political spectrum in general, and within the Republican Party specifically. After the last State of the Union address there was an official Republican Party response delivered by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and an official TEA Party response delivered by Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee. Then there was the official Rand Paul response by Senator Rand Paul. Who expected any less? Rand Paul is increasingly a movement all his own and his appeal is not constrained by the more traditional, and even newer, political power blocs.
Paul shot to national prominence when he led a filibuster against the nomination of John O. Brennan as CIA director and dared to question the “right” of the Obama administration to order drone strikes on US citizens on American soil. His rise and popularity has continued unabated since then. The message he has crafted and the image he has cultivated has helped to bridge the gap between the libertarian and the conservative movements. Paul is immensely popular among young males in particular, as well as with those who oppose big government and government invasions of privacy. Not to mention the great numbers who don’t necessarily fit into any conventional political mold. Those who have no interest in living under the soft tyranny of socialism, arming Islamists overseas, or waging additional wars of choice have found someone who articulates their own thoughts and feelings with intelligence and wit.
The fallacy of the thinking of the liberal elite currently in power is that they think their rules should only apply to others because everyone else is too stupid, ignorant, or less valuable than themselves. They want to confiscate your guns but have concealed weapons permits and armed bodyguards. They want to invade your privacy yet expect to keep theirs. That is the progressive fallacy that eventually explains why all the political ideologies that ultimately emerged from the philosophy of Marx don’t work in practice. Hypocrisy is the most fanatically followed religion in the world and its adherents are legion.
Rand Paul has dared to directly challenge them on this and therefore has become a grave threat to their power, ideology, and agenda. The 4th is just as important as the 2nd amendment and the religious and speech protections of the first, and all the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights must be preserved and defended vigorously for us to remain a truly free people.
The supporters of Rand Paul span the range from traditional and civil libertarians to constitutionalists and conservatives, from the TEA Party to evangelicals and the Christian Right. All those who see danger arising from those who peddle the doctrines of statism and the progressive, nanny state have found his message of a return to liberty and constitutional governance free of undue governmental spying, interference, and regulation to be extremely appealing. It is the right message at the right time and he is increasingly finding a receptive audience for it. The fast paced creation and increased implementation of the turn-key tyranny and surveillance state, by necessity, must be the foremost issue in the next presidential election. We are at a pivotal moment in history and if we go down that path as a civilization and a nation then all the other major issues that are of vital importance to you will have been lost as well. If that domino falls, then they will all fall without fail.
Paul’s own family brand of libertarian politics and reputation handed down by his father helps make significant inroads into younger, independent votes as well as others who are less likely to traditionally vote for a Republican. For the more traditional conservative and values voter he has made great efforts to signal that he is in fact pro-life and not a champion of the gay agenda while reassuring evangelical Christians that he is more supportive of the state of Israel than his father was seen to be. It seems to be a “wink wink, nudge nudge” relationship with cultural conservatives and Christians. While he may not be wearing such issues on his sleeve like potential GOP rivals Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee for example, he has sent the proper signals that he is genuinely acceptable on the issues that are important to them. That message seems to have been received.
The more one listens and pays attention to both his words and deeds the more appealing a possible run becomes. Paul just seems to “get it” more than any other potential GOP presidential candidate and is currently standing head and shoulders above the rest of the possible field when it comes to the most fundamental issues of the day and the ones that most directly affect the vision of the Founding Fathers. Additionally, he is currently polling remarkably well from New Hampshire to Colorado, not only among Republican party presidential wannabes but in general head-to-head polls against Hillary Clinton. That is something worthy of note.
Rand Paul and his supporters do need to prepare themselves for the onslaught of hate and character assassination that the liberals, and the GOP Establishment and elite, are going to throw at him as he continues to increase in stature and viability. The more he is seen as a credible threat to the status quo and those who perpetuate the Washington business as usual mentality, the more shrill and vicious the attacks will become. No man or candidate is perfect, but in a time when traditional looking and sounding politicians are increasingly loathed he doesn’t look or sound like one and that may be of significance over the long haul.
The simple but effective message that the government is spying on, and intruding upon, nearly everything you do and it needs to stop is a powerful one that resonates across the political spectrum and is one that is very hard for a political opponent to argue against. In the end, there are still a vast number of Americans that really and truly just want to be left alone and live free as they go about their daily lives. Such sentiments, when properly appealed too, could very well provide a strong base of support for a Paul presidential bid. That conversation, and the discussion of the potential merits and liabilities of a possible Rand Paul candidacy, is one that needs to take place.
“I am talking about electing lovers of liberty. It isn’t good enough to pick the lesser of two evils. We must elect men and women of principle, and conviction and action that will lead us back to greatness.” - Rand Paul
I believe Ted Cruz would make a great President but I can't vote for him. There is a great reason our forefathers penned the President shall be a natural born citizen of the United States. Men or women that are raised outside the lower forty-eight will have different values. Senator Cruz is a great man but allowing him to stretch the intentions of the constitution is just as wrong as giving Obama a free pass. We missed the whole point by going the birther conflict approach. The facts are he was mentored pro- muslim, procommunist in either Indonesia or the Pacific Island of Hawaii. Our forefathers's would have screamed. Ted might have been raised in our country but he was born in Canada and had his citizenship there until recently. If Conservatives bend the intent of the great law, so will the Democrats. Make Ted the Senate Majority Leader or put him on the Supreme Court. Just quit trying to make the constitution fits our political ambitions!
Well, I guess it's come to this!
