ACTION

If the economy is “recovering” why do we need to raise the debt ceiling?
How come there are more people then ever getting food stamps (ebt cards)?
If unemployment is dropping then how come there isn't more tax revenue from all those jobs that have been created?
Why are major corporations and big banks laying off thousands?

Just some logical questions as we exist down the rabbit hole in wonderland that used to be America.

“ The Gift Is Worth The Pain”

“ The Gift Is Worth The Pain”

Imagine yourself living with your future mate. You are a husband who has a dear and special fiance in your life but to your surprise she is impregnated by someone else. Instead of treating the woman you love with disdain and going on a rant like your on a Jerry Springer television program all about the drama, you suck up the issue and instead just decide in your heart to be the best dad you can be to this coming child. To make matters worse though, soldiers come to your town and announce that everyone must transfer back to the town of their birth for an initial head count of the populace. The soldiers tell you in no certain terms that if you don't get on right away, you will be killed. You know.... I'm talking about... FEMA camps, soldiers, corrupt government...ya, you know.

Now, you are all prepared to go but you must be careful because your wife is nearly nine-months pregnant. You don't want to have the baby on the way to your destination, so you take it very slow...painfully slow. In fact, the trip is so physically, emotionally and mentally grueling, that by the time you and your wife arrive at your destination, you both want to physically collapse. You make it though to your families home in anticipation that there will be a comfy and warm bed for you and your girlfriend but when you get to your family's house, your relatives tell you that they are filled up with other family members already---that there are even relatives sleeping on the floor---ouch !

Off to the hotels, motels, anywhere decent to stay, after all, your significant other is ready to have a baby any day now. Trudge, trudge, trudge along you walk place to place. It's late at night now and you have not had success yet in finding a place to lay your and your fiance's head down. Frustrated ? You bet ! You finally find an old barn though with some animals in it and ask the owner if you can sleep there. He is at first not sure, but seeing your future wife, he asks you how “far along is she”? And you answer him; “nine months.” With a stern warning about you not suing him if “anything goes wrong in there”, and or calling the cops on you if your girlfriend does “anything funny” while in his barn, he agrees to let you stay for a night or two.

Looking for the best place to lay down, you and your future bride lay down together on some manure laced straw and your eyes begin to close when all of a sudden your girl friend starts to have labor pains. She is screaming in pain and you don't know what to do... there are no doctors, nurses, not even a mid-wife to help your wife in having the baby so you quickly grab some greasy rags from the top of some tractor parts near by and use them to help deliver the baby. After a lengthy labor, the little one is born, and it's a boy ! You wrap him in those dirty old rags you used earlier, just to keep him warm. You wish you had clean clothes, a real bed, some food but you have no such things.

To make matters worse, the child you decided you would adopt has no crib so you lay him down in a feeding troth that is there for the animals living in the barn. A bit more frustrated you are all alone to take care of your not yet wed-to wife and have a new born baby to take care of. Something hits your memory though, suddenly a smile comes to your face and you realize that you did all this because there is a huge wonderful gift for your being faithful through this whole journey. Suddenly, your tears turn to joy and a warm feeling and strength comes to your mind and body that indeed, your gift is greater than your pain. It is all now, as if you have been through a tough war but you have gained the entire victory.

OK, so if you have not guessed by now, I just shared a story similar to that of the story of Joesph and Mary from the Bible(Luke 2:1-7). As they languished in such similar matters as I described in the story I shared above, we can certainly all relate in and through our human experiences. The Military and FEMA were in Joesph and Mary's time, represented by the oppressive Roman soldiers of their time. We certainly do and sadly at that, see today many un-wed mothers these days but in the time of Mary, it was an extremely rare matter and very shameful at that to be pregnant and unmarried. Regarding being homeless and poor, well there has always been the poor I suppose that are looking for “shelter.” Regarding Mary and Joesph needing a place to “lay their weary heads” and as you probably are also well aware... many families these days kick out family members to fend for themselves all the time.

The whole matter with the Bible is a difficult thing to accept. God's ways have always been difficult to those who want a god they can manipulate in their own mind. God of the Bible is different though, much different than many who never get their gift known as Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. This is so because we can see that the Son of God was born to a woman who was impregnated by the Holy Spirit. As well, God Himself came to us in the form of His Son Jesus, not in grand conjecture, that some might phrase as “being born with a silver spoon in his mouth”, no... In fact Jesus Christ who is God, decided to come to all humanity as a special gift in the most humblest of ways. Born and then wrapped in rags, laid to sleep in a manger(an animal feeding troth), and later growing up only to be ridiculed and crucified on a cross even after He demonstrated through love, many miracles in healing people. Rejected also by many of the people he loved including those who called themselves “righteous” and “religious”, He finally and willingly gave Himself up to death so that He alone could bear all people's sins, even those who persecuted and hated Him.

So many “gods” are out there these days. People will often make claim how “wealth, power, and prestige” came about through these “gods” but there is only one true living God. He came to all of us wrapped as a gift. This gift, named Jesus the Messiah(Christ) came to set all captives free. Free from what you may ask? Well, free from the bondage of sin and of ourselves. If we truly believe by faith that God sent His Son Jesus to be born and later died on a cross for our sins, we are closer to Him than we may think. The True Gift and “reason for the season” that is; what many call as “Christmas”.... is Jesus Himself. With repentance in your heart for all your sins, realize that God came to us all some 2000 years ago, not to impress you with glitter, tinsel or flashing lights, He came to be your most precious and beautiful gift; His name is Jesus and all your struggles to this time, all your pain, has a prize well worth what you have suffered to this point. God's gift to you is eternal life. Are you ready for that ? Are you ready to get on past the pain and receive your gift this “Christmas” ? Go ahead, call on His name... the free and greatest gift for you is wrapped and waiting for you.

Father, God of all Creation, of: not by strength and not by might, but by MY Spirit saith the Lord. Yes Father, You Oh Lord, Holy above all. We all come before Your very presence, and seek Your face, to know and hear Your Voice, and know Your heart above all things this day and in this hour. Strife and a Heinous wrong transpired this day. We all sit, watch, and pray, mortified at the sites and sounds of one of our own Youth gone wrong, horribly wrong. For at his very hands Father, You of all should know the Why of it all. We only know what You've allowed us to know, see, and do, and Oh Father that we could have done much more to have prevented this event, this thing of outlandish proportion to the even younger's which suffered and died at his hand. We all struggle to some extreme with the Questions, recieving a few answers, some consolations about it. And those survivors, Mom's, Dad's, the list goes onward, this entire nation, brought to its knees, seeking Your heart and voice for comfort and wisdom. So, this night oh Lord of Hosts, as we lay to sleep, and ponder our lot, may we remain obedient unto You and hear Your still small voice, that voice of Loving Compassion, You Oh Lord have continually done so sweetly, and we thank You for our Peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

                               Mother holds young child who escaped murderous rampage of lone gunman,

                                          who killed 20 children and six adults at school

On Friday, December 14th, 20 innocent children walked into their schoolroom class at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and before noon, Adam Lanza, 20, had gunned them and his mother down, according to Fox News sources. Recently, this horrific scene has been played out far too many times in malls, movie theaters, and at universities. This time, the unthinkable has occurred. The innocence of childhood was stripped away by this lone gunman, and left a town, and a nation in mourning.

Yet, in the midst of this very tragic day, the routine calls for tighter gun control laws have again raised its ugly head. While there is no reported connection to alleged shooter, Adam Lanza and illegal firearms, the calls are spreading, as they did earlier in the week, when another masked gunman entered a Portland, Oregon area mall, and shot and killed two victims.

According to Fox News, a U.S. Justice Department source, indicated that weapons used in the murderous assault, including a .223-caliber rifle, had been legally registered to the shooter’s mother. There is a serious problem in this nation, but with this tragedy and the one on Tuesday in Portland, Oregon, it was not the gun, but the stolen weapons that was the problem.

In a nation where there are over 50 million legal gun owners, there is no clear reason how the outbursts of violence by mentally unstable individuals whose weapon of choice is a gun, can be used as a rationale to curtail constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights. The two are not even logically synonymous.

Gun control laws that are not strict enough did not fail these families who are undergoing this very grievous period of mourning for their dead loved ones. What may have failed, even though speculative, is whatever social service system that did not intervene or pay attention to domestic issues that were occurring inside the home of the dead shooter.

The answers to what motivated Adam Lanza, to head into the school where his mother taught and into the very room where she was a teacher and open fire on precious little kids, shows anger that was perhaps motivated by revenge, or some other deep unsettling motive. But a gun control law is not the culprit in this tragic scenario.

How much tighter should the state of Connecticut’s laws be, if the weapons were purportedly registered to the shooter’s mother? The State of Connecticut gun laws specifies in part:
“It is unlawful to possess any other firearm by a person who has been convicted of a felony. It is unlawful to possess a handgun if convicted as a delinquent of a serious juvenile offense which includes.”

The mother did not appear to be a felon, now was she a convicted delinquent. She was a teacher in an elementary school, who was according to published reports from Fox News, murdered by her own son, who stole the weapons from her home. She was a victim not of a right-wing fringe element. She was murdered by her son.

WHO LET THE KID IN THE SCHOOL, WITH THREE GUNS ?

THIS IS NOT A GUN CONTROL PROBLEM ~

initially, I responded to contest the closing down of Quantonamo, Cuba~

Repeal the detainee provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (Sections
1021 & 1022). And beyond that take action to repeal/kill the proposed ID Act!

Upon finishing my note, it seemed more than appropiate to address some of the long list of

issues.  There is valid information that confirms that it is definitely beyond time to disband

Homeland Security; and it is a necessity to completely close down all of the practices of our

TBA Program-(currently- all Security provisions are ridiculous, false-security{totally flawed

& ineffective}  impractical and not working).......I'm sure that almost everyone has had their

own horror story, about a similar encounter.....(Ref. Many of you probably saw a recent report

of a little six-year old girl, confined to wheel-chair, who was denied access to board an Airline

over her parents protest-the entire matter, turned into a fiasco, which should have never happened)

The whole TSA Organization, needs to be redesigned and effectively implemented!

Look it is more than obvious, that we still have a prevailing struggle, in what might be the best

direction for our nation to proceed.  But 'We-the-People', as constituents, are desiring to
have these harsh demands that violate our freedom's and violate our rights eliminated. This 

matter has exceeded every acceptable protocol of security. There are existing laws and

guidelines, that have proven more than adequate, which are already in place. This legislation

is beyond all  reasonable practice of humane principle and safety; and it is my observation,

that the requirements to enforce the tenets of NDAA, clearly violate our Freedoms assured by

our Constitution. We all need to come together and take a stand to regain our liberties and

freedoms which are set forth under our Constitution.

We all need to be mindful of the extreme sacrifice that our Fore-fathers made as they

dedicated this nation, The Republic of United States of America, in the action which

they all committed themselves, and our Nation to GOD ALMIGHTY,on that fateful day,

April 30, 1789-as they assembled with our newly Inaugurated President George Washington

in New York City, to follow his leading them down Wall Street to St. Pauls Chapel, where

they all joined together: The President, all of his Administration; the Senate; the House

of Representatives; and all the members of the Supreme Court. They crammed into St Pauls

Chapel, bowing down on their knees to dedicate this Nation to OUR GOD!  And GOD has

honored that commitment. {this chapel still exist today, right there in New York City,NY:

in fact, the property is adjacent to "Ground Zero" and is the only property that survived

the terrorist attack on 9/11} !  May I recommend to each member of Congress, to acquire

a copy of the new publication, "The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn (dated Jan.31,2012) and

also there is Bill Koenig's book, "Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel."

Your message was sent to the following recipients: Representative Joe Barton, Senator Kay Hutchison, Senator John Cornyn.

The Federal Reserve plans to keep short-term interest rate near zero until unemployment drops below 6.5 percent and inflation reaches 2.5 percent.  This means given the current equations used to calculate those numbers, Fed interest rates will remain at current lows until mid-2015 or beyond.

The Fed will also continue spending $85 billion a month on bond purchases to keep long-term borrowing costs low and to stimulate the U.S. economy.  They will also spend $45 billion a month on long-term Treasury purchases and continue buying $40 billion a month in mortgage bonds.

Why are such moves deemed necessary by the Federal Reserve?

Why does the U.S. debt ceiling need to be raised every few years?

Why is America stressed about a “fiscal cliff?”

Because the United States of America spends entirely too much money.

To those who remember history, it is self-evident that politicians, elected or not, who subscribe to the “progressive” (read Marxist) philosophy have little to no interest in compromising with their political opposition.  History informs that “progressives” in America are more inclined to attempt eliminating their Conservative political opposition than reaching any compromise.  How else can it be explained why “progressives” continue to cling to their uncompromising position?

The so-called fiscal cliff negotiations going on in Washington DC is a clear example of their motives and tactics.

The “progressives” are intentionally holding to a position untenable to Conservatives in hopes of creating divides within the GOP and causing them to lose credibility by caving on their principle of not raising taxes. 

The best case scenario for “progressives” is for the GOP to stick to their principles and refuse to raise taxes.  Then “progressives” and their co-conspirators within the “mainstream media”, aka the “progressive” Party Pravda, can place the blame for the economic results of sequestration on Conservative Republicans while, solely for their own political aims, temporarily championing members of the GOP who appeared willing to “compromise.”

Trying to negotiate a "grand bargain" simply means Republicans are aiding and abetting “progressive” Democrats in their quest to commit the biggest swindle in American history.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has a better idea that is good strategy for countering “progressive” actions:

"I think if we go halfway, or we split the difference with him, then both parties have their hands on it.  When we go into recession, it'll be confusing.

I have yet another thought on how we can fix this. Why don't we let the Democrats pass whatever they want?  If they are the party of higher taxes, all the Republicans vote present and let the Democrats raise taxes as high as they want to raise them, let Democrats in the Senate raise taxes, let the president sign it and then make them own the tax increase.  And when the economy stalls, when the economy sputters, when people lose their jobs, they know which party to blame, the party of high taxes.  Let's don't be the party of just almost as high taxes.

In the House, they have to because the Democrats don't have the majority.  In the Senate, I'm happy not to filibuster it, and I will announce tonight on your show that I will work with Harry Reid to let him pass his big old tax hike with a simple majority if that's what Harry Reid wants, because then they will become the party of high taxes and they can own it.”

Conservatives can keep bashing Speaker of the House John Boehner and House leadership, perhaps Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell.  But that does absolutely nothing to advance the Conservative position.  Republicans made their bed a year and a half ago by agreeing to sequestration.

Give “progressive” Democrats what they want and let them own it.  When average everyday Americans who happen to be Democrats or Independents start feeling the economic pain, let “progressives” explain a failure that is covered with their fingerprints and nobody else’s.

U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.

Authorities in Hudson County notified ICE agents in early October that they suspected Sanchez was an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender and who may be eligible to be deported. ICE agents in New Jersey notified superiors at the Homeland Security Department because they considered it a potentially high profile arrest, and DHS instructed them not to arrest Sanchez until after the November election, one U.S. official told the AP. ICE officials complained that the delay was inappropriate, but DHS directed them several times not to act, the official said.

It was not immediately clear why federal immigration authorities would not have been notified sooner about Sanchez's status.

During the final weeks of President George W. Bush's administration, ICE was criticized for delaying the arrest of President Barack Obama's aunt, who had ignored an immigration judge's order to leave the country several years earlier after her asylum claim was denied. She subsequently won the right to stay in the United States after an earlier deportation order, and there was no evidence of involvement by the White House.

In that case, the Homeland Security Department had imposed an unusual directive days before the 2008 election requiring high-level approval before federal agents nationwide could arrest fugitive immigrants including Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama's late father. The directive from ICE expressed concerns about "negative media or congressional interest," according to a copy of that directive obtained by AP. The department lifted the immigration order weeks later.

Many of us yearn for the America that went with Mom and apple pie. It isn't that those were easier times. People struggled as they do now and there was the threat of nuclear devastation then and the threat of human extinction over man made global warming now but things were a little bit more definite then. We knew who our enemies were and America was one nation under God; the Ten Commandments were displayed in public buildings and people, religious or not, understood the rules so there was a smaller percentage of the population in prison.  Dad went to work, mom stayed home, kids went to school and, though all marriages were not happy, many fewer families were fractured by divorce.  Family was the focus of American social life. People could spell, write a coherent sentence, make change without an adding machine, tell you where Africa and China were and most spoke English as their primary language. The Bible was the Good Book and its wisdom was freely taught in church and in school. Religious displays were expected especially at Easter and Christmas. People felt uneasy if the clerk at the local store did not say merry Christmas and those who refused to pledge allegiance to The United States of America or hesitated to sing the National Anthem were scorned not coddled. People immigrated here from all over the world because they wanted to be Americans, to live in a place where anyone could succeed by the sweat of their own brow. Immigration wasn't easy because numbers were controlled and gaining citizenship required time and study but things that come as a result of great effort are highly cherished.  Our border with Mexico had fewer fences and we had less illegal immigration.

The reason all of this changed is not that travel is easier, cheaper and faster or that we readily communicate around the world by phone and the internet. It is not because of a particular war as those have been regular events throughout human history.  It is not because of computers, cell phones or electronic gadgetry; these things are simply tools. Part of the problem is that being an American has lost its meaning. Though many more people come here now as a result of relaxed immigration quotas, they come not to be Americans but to feed at the trough of plenty often returning home with the loot like vultures picking the bones of a once great society.

If you are old enough to remember the America I described and have spent some time considering the changes then to now it might occur to you that while society was changing the Federal Government was growing in size and influence in our daily lives. A shift was occurring in which we went from a self-reliant people able to determine right and wrong to people more and more reliant on the Federal Government and its interpretation of what is correct.  There are many more laws now and we have more people in prison; the largest percentage of population in prison of any nation. Now, looking back, it is not hard to see that the greater the influence of the Federal Government, the less influence the individual has retained. We have been giving away our very souls, a little at a time, for temporary comfort and perceived safety but what have we really gained? We have succumbed to the very thing that Benjamin Franklin warned us about so long ago when he said; “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both”. Anyone who objectively views our current state of affairs realizes the wisdom in that statement and recognizes that we have made serious errors in that regard, not the least of which was The Patriot Act. Now, each time someone shouts “Allahu Akbar” our freedom to travel is further restricted but we are told we are winning the war on terror.

We are told that we must go “Forward” and that the same old things that were tried in the past never did work. But logic asks; If the things that we would call ‘tried and true’ never did work, how did the United States of America become the great nation it has been? Instead of tweaking the tried and true methods we decided we were smarter than the founders and set off on a massive social experiment that really has not worked out very well.  I could now present a list of all the failed government programs, which would require much more time and space but the real question is do we have the will to go back and reclaim the American self-reliance that made us great or is it too late?  Do we have the willpower to go on a mental diet and shed the excess fat and government modified thought that occupies our brains or will we go merrily down the garden path to socialism and become part of the regimented, dependent collective?

There is a line in a poem by William Ross Wallace that says “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” Originally it was a statement about the power of women in society but in South Africa it is a proverb slightly modified to read “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation and its destiny”.

With South Africa’s version in mind, let me ask you a few more questions. Who reveals the world to or conceals it from your children? Who tells them what is acceptable or important and what is not? Who defines tolerance and interprets history for your children and grandchildren? Who defines the role of Religion in society? Who is defining family composition and its role in society? Who teaches our children that the Constitution of the United States is an old document irrelevant in today’s modern society? Who tells your child that they can be anything they want to be and then provides them a faulty set of tools with which to accomplish their goals? Who wants every child to go on to “higher” education and who is seeking to provide you the “right” of free day care and an early start to your child’s education? Why does the Federal Government want to be the hand that rocks the cradle?

The key to reclaiming America is removal of the government’s hand from the cradle. Many concerned citizens have tried to regain control of text book content but that road is slow, full of compromise and does not intercept the constant onslaught of pamphlets touting gay rights, rainbow society, a modern non-morality that states everything is relative and history altered to reflect the way some people feel it should have been rather than as it was or invited speakers who say that religion is the problem or Islam is peaceful by nature.  While parents struggle to take back control more and more children are going through the education mill while society quietly loses, through attrition, the generations that understand what is going on.

Some parents have attempted to exercise their “legal” right to be notified in advance when controversial sexual topics are to be discussed so they can keep their children home that day and their attempts to protect their children have landed them in jail. This slow “reasonable” approach will not save our children from the government’s re-education day camps; only removal of the child from the government run school system will do that!

A growing number of parents are choosing to home school their children but that solution requires time and a level of education not available to everyone. Charter schools have been a growing alternative but they are still dependent on government funding to some extent, there are long waiting lists and the Obama administration has signaled its disapproval of charters favoring union run "public" schools.

There are many road blocks to escape from government education but some institutions like Hillsdale College have managed to do just that. Government maintains control of education by taxing you and then offering that money back to fund your local school if you comply with the official government standards. Hillsdale gets around that by refusing all government funding so they are in control of their curriculum. Students there are not eligible for government education loans but they have managed to provide loans through their alumni and associated institutions. They have removed the hand of government and are free to educate their students.  For these reasons, I have been a fan and supporter of Hillsdale for several years.

Hillsdale College has expanded its influence by offering online courses on The Constitution of the United States and various other inexpensive or free non credit courses for those seeking to educate themselves. Real education allows the individual to decide the truth by simply presenting them with the facts allowing them to draw their own conclusions.  More than that, real education allows students to question or challenge information presented without being excoriated for expressing views that differ from those of the instructor. This is the difference between education and indoctrination and the norm at Hillsdale.

This is not intended to be an advertisement for Hillsdale College but simply to make the point that it is possible to escape the influence of government on education.  I had been wondering why this same model could not be applied to home schooling when, on a recent trip to the airport, I noticed a billboard advertising an online home school.  An internet search revealed that there is a community of home schoolers that offers online resources to parents who want to take charge of the children’s education.  If you are interested, I found one source that allows you to pick a customized approach and could be a place for interested people to start investigating the online approach to home schooling their children. I do not have enough information to endorse this site and there are others so decide for yourself.

Many people have taken the attitude that the Federal Department of Education should be closed down since there is nothing in the Constitution that grants the Federal Government the power to be involved in education. This may be so but I would not expect the Constitution to save you when the current administration does not hold that document in high regard and the people of the United States just elected, for a second time, a person who announced to the world in writing that he is not a natural born citizen and therefore Constitutionally ineligible to be President.  What I am saying is the odds of closing that department or getting the government’s hand off of the cradle have become slim to none since November 8, 2012.  You are on your own.

The government has changed society by controlling education; by watering down or removing your influence over what your children believe. If you are wondering why they go off to college and never return to church or why parents and kids find sports more important than church, this is the reason.  Most young parents are themselves victims of government schools so they see nothing wrong with things as they are. The only way to change this is to raise successive generations of children who have been educated to think, reason and know how and were to find the truth. If you are a parent, grandparent or guardian of a school age child the power is in your hand until you relinquish it to the state run school. The hand that rocks the cradle truly does rule the nation and its destiny. Whose hand shall it be?

We normally consider that one person’s vote is worth the same as the next but is that really the case? If a Republican votes for Mitt Romney, Mitt gets one vote and if a Democrat votes for Obama then he gets one vote.  If a dead person votes for Obama he gets one vote that he was never going to get so that helps boost turnout but it is still one vote.

A converted vote is another matter. If there are 100 Republican voters and 100 Democrat voters and I convert one D to an R this is what happens: The Rs end up with 101 and the Ds end up with 99. That is a difference of 2 or twice the impact of resurrecting a deceased voter. In the last election there were many voters who admitted that they had voted for Obama in 2008 but would not do so again.  Each of those people would account for a 2 vote shift when the votes were counted.

As you can see from the example above, it would take twice as many dead voters to make up for this problem and the Democrat’s surrogates were already in overdrive rounding up the voter group known as the dear departed. The chances of coming up with enough votes that way were slim and they knew this was going to be a close election. They needed a way to convert some Rs to Ds but television ads and stump speeches were not going to do that.

I believe that they figured out a way to convert those votes and did so electronically. We have all heard the stories of the electronic touch screen voting machines that changed a vote for Mitt to one for Obama. Some people have suggested that this was done by enlarging the size of the touch field for Obama and reducing the size of the one for Mitt so that an imprecise placement of the finger registered votes intended for Mitt as an Obama vote.  Each time that happened it made a 2 vote difference in the tally because it converted one of Mitts votes into a vote for Obama. (M-1, O+1= 2 vote difference). I believe that this is what brought an election that was the Republicans to lose close enough to be within the margin of theft.

If you are not outraged, you should be!

                           Michigan State Police protect Right To Work  Law supporters

                                 from assaults from organized union protesters

“There will be blood,” angrily threatened State Representative Douglas Geiss openly from the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives on Tuesday, according to Fox News. His frustration in the chamber was shouted out by thousands of organized labor supporters who rallied outdoors in the state capitol in opposition to Michigan’s 'Right to Work’ law. The legislation was signed into law by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder late Tuesday afternoon. Is union tyranny over?

Over the past several weeks, union unrest over right to work legislation had surfaced into slowly burning embers waiting to be ignited. On Monday, the igniter-in-chief arrived. So on Monday when, President Obama visited the Detroit area; he had been scheduled to discuss the fiscal cliff and its impact on Michigan families.

Instead he moved to shove Michigan elected Republican lawmakers off the legislative cliff. He eagerly chided legislators for supporting Right to Work legislation coming to a vote the next day in Lansing, the state capitol.

His invasion into the privacy and sovereignty of the state of Michigan was unnecessary, unwanted, unneeded and served to ignite hot language in an already combustible atmosphere. Instead of sticking to his script or teleprompter, Obama forgot his place and scolded Michigan’s governor and state house and senate leaders by sarcastically stating:

“These so-called 'right-to-work' laws, they don't have anything to do with economics. They have everything to do with politics," He then went on to add, "What they're really talking about is they're giving you the right to work for less money." President Obama

It is abundantly clear that Obama never took an economics course, if he believes that out-of-whack union wages and benefit packages have not placed a stranglehold on state, and local government budgets as well as private sector job creation. In fact, according to Fox News, seven of the states that have the most improved job creation numbers have Right to Work legislation on the books.

If you are a resident of Michigan or any other state and are or have been a member of a union, you know what it feels like to be threatened by union goons. They openly tell you when you can work, and when you cannot, and who you have to support for political office and who you should not. This is not union protection of wages, this is union thuggish behavior, used to harass, threaten and intimidate you!

To add insult to injury all of this is done courtesy of union dues paid by workers!

Yet, the Right to Work drive for Michigan workers arrived this year, past due on the desk of state capitol legislators. Just how could this happen in the cradle of organized unionism? To workers who have long supported this effort, it seems crystal clear. They want the right to jobs and the right to work!

Ok someone please explain this idiocy to me.  I had to drive up to Manchester, TN area today for work.  On my way through Fayetteville, there were about three factory type businesses and the workers were on strike.  I am not sure what type of businesses they were, but I am guessing they were some sort of manufacturer.

I do not understand how, in the United States, a union can say, "You must join us or you can not have this type of job."  Last I checked, that smacks of communism where you have to join the communist party to work.  Don't tell me I have to pay dues to some organization just so I can put food on my table for my kids and I.  As soon as you do, I am going to tell you exactly what you can do with your union membership card and I may just forcefully put it up your rectum with my size 13 boot myself.

But here is the idiocy of these people striking.  Almost half of all Americans are out of work.  I would be willing to bet everyone of you know at least one person who is out of work, has been for some time, is living on government handouts (not necessarily of their own choice but necessity), and wishes they could find a job.  These MORONS should be thankful to be working at all.  Everyone is hurting in this economy including corporations.  If you want to lose you job, go ahead and strike, and when your strike causes the company to fold, you can go home and tell you kids, "There won't be any Christmas presents this year because I was stupid."

I see a lot of confusion about the term socialism.  To separate fact from fiction, truth from myth, I offer the following.  There are 20 variants of Socialism.  In its pure sense it does mean non profit driven control of production by the government representing "The People".  We are currently on the track of one variant of Socialism and that is what concerns many since it is a departure of what made this nation the most productive, profitable, land of opportunity in the world.  The Social Democracy variant is a political ideology that considers itself to be a form of reformist democratic socialism. Whether stated or not, it is a path for peaceful, evolutionary transition of society from capitalism to socialism.[2] It asserts that the only acceptable constitutional form of government is representative democracy under the rule of law (Lawyers sort of become the ruling class).[3] It promotes extending democratic decision-making beyond political democracy to include economic democracy to guarantee employees and other economic stakeholders sufficient rights of co-determination.[4] Common social democratic policies include advocacy of universal social rights to attain universally-accessible public services such as: education, health care, workers' compensation, and other services including child care and care for the elderly.[5] Social democracy is connected with the trade union labour movement and supports collective bargaining rights for workers. Obama and his administration are not pure socialists.  However, assertions to that effect are partially correct because of the Social Democracy variant.  Any questions?  Remember I am a consultant and it is my job to be thorough, honest, and factual even if the truth is unsettling at times.  I am sort of a messenger, so don't kill the messenger :)

Michigan is now the 24^thright to work state in America.

Public workers in Michigan are now free to work without being forced to pay legalized extortion to unions as a precondition of their employment.

As union labor gathered by the thousands, Michigan’s legislature voted approval Tuesday to "right-to-work" legislation.  The House and the Senate both approved the measure, making membership and payment of union dues optional.  Governor Rick Snyder has promised to sign it into law.

More than 12,000 protestors from around the Midwest gathered for the vote.  Union thugs dissatisfied with the vote attacked the Americans for Prosperity tent, tore it down and slashed it apart with knives while members of AFP were still inside.

Union promised there will be more to come.

From the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives, Democratic State Representative State Representative Douglas Geiss threatened “There will be blood.”

Barack Obama described the legislation thusly:  “These so called right-to-work laws, they don’t have anything to do with economics, they have to do with politics.”

This is coming from someone whose entire position on the so-called fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington DC has nothing to do with economics.  It is all about politics.  It is all about destroying the Republican Party and promoting a patently un-American fringe Marxist ideology.

Michigan’s right-to-work law makes it illegal to require financial support of a union as a condition of employment.  When it comes to recruiting businesses to Michigan it will make the state more competitive.  Critics claim it will cripple the ability of unions to fund their political policy objectives.

Unions are forgetting some fundamental principles.  No one should be forced against their will to join a union or to have their paycheck skimmed by unions.  If someone disagrees with their politics, no one should be forced to fund union politics.

For “progressives”, who lay claim to sole possession of concern for working people, forcing Americans who object to their political policy objectives to fund then as a precondition of employment is hypocrisy in the most classic sense.

Hypocrisy, when it comes to speaking about “progressives”, is par for the course.

It is morally right for workers to have the power of decision where it comes to supporting labor unions financially.  People should have the right to work without being forced to pay union dues.  Americans who want to work should not be enslaved by unions.
