I think we all agree that Romney and Ryan the best two R's since Roy Rogers!...so here's a bit of humor and truth from Jeff Foxworthy:
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".
Well, I forwarded it.
I amwriting this to inquire if my membership is confirmed?
Following GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney’s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, the All Barrack Channel, commonly known as ABC, assumed the form of Amy Walter to administer a spoonful of “progressive” medicine intended to stop the American sugar for going down.
http://news.yahoo.com/ideological-battle-voters-dont-want-100144850--abc-news-politics.html
By calling Ryan’s budget plan synonymous with political polarization, then portraying Mitt Romney picking Ryan for VP as guaranteeing an ideological debate, Walter displays nothing short of utter contempt for voters and their ability to research, learn and decide for themselves.
Even if Walter is correct in saying that a debate over the role of government is looming, she is wrong in assuming, presuming, dictating that swing voters do not want that debate. Closer to the truth, “progressives” do not want the debate to take place because it could lead to swing voters learning the distinctions between the differing philosophies. Hence, ABC and other card carrying members of the “progressive” Party Pravda publish “information” that preordains the conclusion to which readers must necessarily arrive: Voters do not want to debate the proper role of government.
Voters are most certainly interested in what their government does, how far it reaches into their lives, and the scope of its power. Voters have interests that surpass simply having a government that works.
For “progressives” and their Pravda lapdogs, it feeds their agenda to determine and present as fact that voters only want a government that works efficiently. Safe to say, “progressives” living in America are highly motivated to be primarily concerned with a government that efficiently rewards them with their “fair share” of food stamps, welfare checks, “free” healthcare and other so-called “entitlement” goodies.
The Nazi government was highly efficient in taking a defeated, bankrupt country to the brink of global domination…and slaughtering millions. When it came to the systematic removal of millions of Chinese, Chairman Mao had a well-oiled government. The Soviet system very effectively created a manmade disaster while committing genocide by starving millions of Ukrainians to death during the Holodomor. Che Rivera was ruthlessly efficient in eliminating Fidel’s political opposition in Cuba.
The silent majority, astonished, alarmed and disgusted by the scale, scope and over-reach of the fringe, radical, anti-American agenda enacted by “progressives” armed with unrestrained, unbridled power, got up off the couch and formed the Tea Party. Contrary to what Walters would have readers believe, the Tea Party is as popular and influential as ever.
The 2010 election that swept Conservatives back in control of the House was indeed a mandate: Do not compromise with those whose negotiating position begins and ends with “what is yours is ours and what is mine is mine.” History repeatedly reveals that whenever those with this negotiating position obtain final grasp of unrestrained, unbridled power, they do not compromise with their political opposition, they eliminate it.
The reason Washington DC is polarized and ineffective is the harsh, uncompromisingly rigid partisan positions taken by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, the current Oval Office occupier and their “progressive” collaborators.
The November 2012 election is a decision voters will make between two competing ideologies. Voters will determine what role government plays in the lives of people. Whether “progressives” like it or not, a small government with limited power is the basic construct of the American idea; one “progressives” have long sought to destroy.
Americans want to have the debate “progressives” do not. The simple reason “progressives” do not want that debate and are so eager to convince swing voters they do not want it either is simple. That debate is one “progressives” will lose.

- I have lived here in Harlan, Iowa for about 15 years and have never seen any type of military movement in this area except for the occasional jet flying over. Offutt air force base is about 55 miles from me over south of Omaha. About 15 minutes ago, I observed 2 CH47 Chinook twin blade helicopters fly over. Never had seen those around here before...They were on a northeast heading, probably flying out of Offutt air base. Those choppers can carry up to 55 military personal and was really wondering what they are doing over here. Just seemed strange since I had never seen this before..Hope we don't start seeing a lot of that type of activity going on.
Remember us? The “baby boomers,” “Senior Citizens,” “Dinosaurs,” “Old Geezers,” and “Over the Hill gang.” Guess What? We’re baaaaack. Remember 2010? We delivered the House and almost the Senate. Well, what we started in 2010 we intend to finish in 2012. Democrats make the mistake of believing all we care about is our Social Security checks, so we know what to expect. Guess what liberals? Our real concern is for the future of our children and grandchildren. We intend to see that they have the same freedoms and opportunities our God, our founders and our parents gave us.
We are still the ones who won World War II and fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can still quote the Pledge of Allegiance by heart and, unlike the “Amateur” in the White House, know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America the Beautiful. Don’t be surprised if you see some tears run down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many have only read in history books, and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.
Yes, we are old and slow but rest assured, we still have fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and bled for it, and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, “foreign and domestic,” and that’s an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love and, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent. You think the lines at Chick-fil-A were long; just wait till you see the lines at the polling places in November. In 1776, when our forefathers were fighting against the forces of King George III, to establish these “shores of freedom” he referred to them as insignificant rabble. The colonist had a different name for them - Patriots. King Obama has labeled those of us fighting to preserve this “Shinning City” as “domestic terrorist.” That’s a name we wear with pride.
When we think about Obama, one word comes to mind - Tyrant. When we speak of the Obama Administration we are referring to an out of control Executive branch, a complicit Congress, and the many activist judges sitting on the courts of our land. The term would also have to include the Mainstream Media which supports them. Our forefathers were a rag-tag army of untrained volunteers up against the best trained military of their day. No one thought they could win; no one but the men doing the fighting. The British Forces were paid to maintain the King’s power. The Colonial Patriots were fighting for their land and the families they loved. Today, Obama is fighting to maintain his power over “We the People.” We are fighting to preserve this “Land of Freedom” for our children and grandchildren. What the Congress, Supreme Court and Joint Chiefs have refused to do, we will.
Our founders had three boxes; the soap box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. They tried the first, were rejected by the second, and forced to use the third. They left us a fourth - the ballot box. The time is now that we “domestic Terrorist” must either stand and fight, or condemn our children and grandchildren to a lifetime of slavery under a New World Order. It’s a battle we cannot, we must not, and with God’s help, we will not lose. It’s about an idea called “America,” it’s about this “God blessed, windswept, island of freedom.” It’s about America’s story, our story, and we will never surrender to tyrants. It is the lives of our children and grandchild which are at the heart of this battle. They deserve our all, no less, and that is exactly what we intend to give – God bless America.

I DO NOT BELIVE A WORD OBAMA SAYS. THEY WOULD SELL THE PRESIDENTS SEAT IF THEY COULD. THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS SOCIALIST.

RE HE PUT OUR MONEY, HE CANT REMBER, OBAMA SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH OUR MONEY.
Ron Paul is still in the running (kind of).
His supporters love him, there's no doubting that. He's got a bunch of people excited about his 'We are the Future Rally' set to take place in Tampa in tandem with the RNC. His main goal seems to be to try to set party platforms with the delegates he collected and support he's garnered across the country.
You can see details about his rally here: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/07/06/ron-paul-tampa-rally/
I don't know that he'll have a large impact on what Romney and Ryan set out to do. Whether he runs as a Libertarian or a Republican, he does have some strong ideals that he's consistently clung to over his career, and for that consistency he has many people's respect, including my own (this does not mean I think I will vote for him instead of Romney).
Some people think he'll try to wedge in a speaking spot for his son Rand, as they try to gain favor with party leaders so that they can further their national goals in the coming elections. I guess we'll see.
Whatever the outcome is for Paul post-convention I think he's an interesting and noteworthy political figure to keep track of. If he does not go on the ballot officially for the national election in November, which I think is unlikely, it will also be interesting to see how many people write him in in order to spite the establishment political parties and candidates.
I don't know that voting for Ron Paul is a productive vote, but is is a way to signal the establishment parties of your discontent.
Some pundits say Obama has so successfully transformed America into a “gimme society” that the food stamp president will win re-election in a landslide. Other political wizards say the bloom is off the rose. A majority of Americans realize that Obama is a far-left, radical, socialist/progressive, anti-American, lawless dictator. His reign of terror will end come November. Arguments are strong supporting both scenarios.
Folks, candidly, I do not know which political egghead's election predictions are correct. Life has taught me never to invest total trust in my knowledge or in that of any man.
So yes, Obama appears to be doing a great job rallying his base: the lazy racists, the entitlement-minded socialists, the progressives and plain old haters of America. And yes, Obama does own the mainstream media.
Nevertheless, I am confident and strong. What is my response to all the odds appearing overwhelmingly in Obama's favor? Two words: “But God...”
I realize that some on our side get the heebie-jeebies whenever the “G” word is brought into the mix. This is a sad commentary to the effectiveness of the left's relentless campaign to ban God from the public square. America was founded on God and godly principles.
Without going into a lengthy personal testimony, I will say that countless times, when it appeared that all hope was lost, God intervened and turned things around in my favor. My future looked dark. “But God...”
Benjamin Franklin said, “God governs in the affairs of man.” History documents many incidences when America was on the verge of receiving a death-blow, foiled by divine intervention.
The Battle of Long Island was decided by sudden mysterious fog.
In August 1776, with the water full of British warships, George Washington and his Continental Army faced certain defeat by the British in New York City. Besides being extremely outnumbered, Washington's troops were freezing and starving. Adding insult to injury, unseasonable bad weather moved in and it was raining.
The rain turned out to be an extraordinary blessing in disguise. The next morning it was so blindingly foggy that the Brits could not attack. They were forced to wait until the fog passed.
Even more freaky is that the fog only appeared in areas in which it was needed to conceal Washington’s operations from the British. Remarkably, other areas of New York City were perfectly clear.
The fog provided Washington enough cover and time to slip his army to Manhattan without losing a single troop. Washington did not have to fight the British that day. He eventually won the war.
The Brits appeared to have the battle against America all sewn up. “But God...”
Patriots, like you, my heart aches for America. Unbelievably, the mayors of two major cities threatened to punish a restaurant chain if it attempted to do business in their towns because the CEO is a Christian who does not embrace same-sex marriage.
A Supreme Court justice bent the Constitution to uphold the greatest attack on freedom in American history, essentially sealing the death of America as intended by God and our Founding Fathers.
Religious institutions are decreed to fund contraceptive services against their faith or suffer the wrath and iron fist of Obama.
Public schools are indoctrinating our children, beginning in elementary school, to believe that homosexuality is normal -- no different from being born left-handed. Outrageously, our kids are even encouraged to give homosexuality a try before deciding their sexuality.
I find it particularly disturbing that what it means to be an American continues to be diminished. Our parents' legacy of hard work, individuality, and independence is being suppressed. Americanism under Obama means as many people as possible dependent on government. Forget striving to be all you can be; forget pursuing the American dream for you and your family. The message of our socialist dictator is work to share everything equally.
Meanwhile, many Christians either are not interested in voting or refuse to vote for a candidate less perfect than Jesus Christ. To win approval from the left, some Christians caution their brethren not to be too outspoken regarding their faith like that embarrassing Tim Tebow.
Still, I remain vigilant in my quest to defeat Obama. “All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.”
At dinner, a patriot asked, “Mr. Marcus, do you ever get depressed about our country.” I could, very easily. “But God...”

All he has to say is: "I RESIGN!!!"
This morning, Mitt Romney announced his selection of Paul Ryan to be his running mate for the Republican Party's presidential run in 2012. It was one of the final moves left to Romney in his presentation of his campaign to the American public. Following that decision, now it is left to the American people to examine and ponder their coming decision vote in less than 90 days. The choice is now laid out before them: Barack Obama and Joe Biden, or Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, each set of candidates coming with their own party baggage and history, each coming with their own political histories and policies.
Which ever of the two political parties you closer adhere to, although I don't think its wrong to assume most of you reading this are probably not Democrats, people always seem to want a third option. Maybe it's because they're tired of the establishment (who isn't?) or maybe they don't feel represented well by polarized partisan debates, people yearn for an alternative, something to latch onto. Perhaps the establishment seems controlled or influenced by the same sources, so people want something fresh and unspoiled.
One of the more widely known third parties is the Libertarian Party, which calls for small government. If you remember, Ron Paul was their candidate in 1988. This year, their candidate is former Republican Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico.
I don't know that any of the things people look for in third parties are really true about the Libertarian Party, but certainly they would like to be that alternative for people. The main line of their political philosophy is anti-big government. They do not want the government prying into or disturbing their lives in any way. While this is certainly a view many can grab onto, their ideals are not entirely attractive to everyone.
Their policies are well outlined in this video:
Whatever you think of Gov. Johnson and the Libertarian Party, but it is an alternative to the main political parties. If you views toward the establishment GOP have soured as of late, or over the past 20 years, then maybe Gary is your man.
Maybe not, but there you go. I don't necessarily agree with a lot of what he says, but then again I disagree with Romney too. At least I've still got 87 days to decide. Maybe Ron Paul will stick around until then.
I should say that I do not think Libertarians are very Tea Party-esque, but I wanted to share the option that will be on the ballot.
Obama has perpetrated an unprecedented fraud on the American people. He fooled us once. If he does it again....WE ARE FOOLS and deserve whatever his destructive regime unleashes on us. We need to pray, pray and pray some more.
We saw "2016 Obama's America" last night. Very powerful!! The movie does a great job of explaining who Obama really is and how his radical vision for America was formed. It discusses issues & facts that the main stream media has hidden, ignored or sanitized. Every American should see it, especially the undecided or moderate voters and those even thinking about voting for Obama. No open minded person will leave the theatre without having very serious second thoughts about supporting Obama. We must pray that "We The People" do not dare give this saboteur of the American dream and what made our country great another four years where he will be unaccountable to the people. If he gets that chance, he will be able to unleash his real agenda.....and may God help us.
BUT OBAMAS RECORD IS SO SO BAD, THAT WE DO HAVE A CHANCE, LAST CHANCE FOR THE TEA PARTY, SORRY. WE COULD BE ALL IN JAIL. IF OB WINS A SECOND TERM.

“Exposing And Dragging Evil Into The Light”
that of giving away food to the hungry, to give used clothes to the needy or perhaps any number of deeds that looks and appears charitable, and I whole heartily agree that those are indeed Biblical “good deeds” but those are only partial act of the Biblical meaning of “good deeds” and the reality is that those previously mentioned acts are only touchy, feely, nice-nice things that has limited Biblical fruit. When Jesus spoke of “good deeds” He was also speaking of those matters that Christians through their “light” also shinned upon the darkness, that is---those involved in evil, in being shown, even forced in seeing the error of their ways will in the end hopefully repent. Oh now, before you start getting all hot under your religious collar about me mentioning forcing evil to be in the light, as yourself; isn't that what we are already doing with those who engage in rape, burglary, murder and other crimes? Indeed, we do not(well except for Obama, Eric Holder, Goldman Sachs and others who are apparently above the law) allow those who harm others walk around freely do we ? We bring them before fair and impartial judges(cough) do we not ? And if found guilty, those criminals who engaged in darkness are put in jail by the “light” correct ? Here is a sad truth about the “Church”---It is so sad that so many in the world can plainly see that many Christians these days do not like talking about, nor do many pastors also enjoy preaching about or engage in “shinning light on darkness” as it is a very “uncomfortable” and “not so politically correct” to expose wrong doing from within the confines of the church walls any more. Most Christians rather talk about and hear a sermon more in tune with jesus butterfly beliefs, that is to just stick with the “nice-nice” and comfortable portions of the Bible rather than have to acknowledge the Bible wants Christians to expose the wiles of the devil out there in the world irregardless if people are dying and going to hell over it.
Mitt Romney is set to announce his running mate around 9 AM Saturday morning during a visit to Norfolk, Va. Strong signs point to that running mate being Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. I guess we'll all know by lunch tomorrow if these sources are correct.
Update: Its a Romney Ryan Ticket! I guess we'll see what impact this will all have after the talking heads hash it out and all the pundits blabber on.

Howdy all! Well, by the time you read this, you will probably already know the answer to the big question. Everyone has been waiting to know. Where are they from? How far can they go? And will they shine brightly in the night for all to see. Yes, the meteor shower is coming, and I for one intend to see a couple or two! (huh?)
Any hoo,..
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. ~ Proverbs 4:23
Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. ~ Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
So, it is true that the Republican VP nominee will be announced tomorrow. Why is that so important? Simple; whoever it is will be expected to take the reins if President Romney can no longer hold the office. Everything else is hogwash to me. But why do we wait for this announcement with as much or more anticipation than the crystal ball dropping on New Years? I think Mr. Paine has the real answer to that. His flowery prose of the times may be melodic, but he is saying that government is an evil necessity, and that we the people must choose wisely those we wish to govern us. And that’s when it’s working for the people. But, when we employ a government is as bad (or worse) as no government at all, we only have ourselves to blame.
So, why is it so important to watch who the VP choice is? Well, because we have no say in whom it is. But that person may be the president. We the People choose every four years through the primary process who our presidential nominee will be. And since we cannot choose the VP the same way, we watch to see whether we are looking at just another necessary evil, or a calamity of anarchistic proportion.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!

Plus Hillary and U.N. working on gun control;
During WWII the Japanese decided NOT to invade America because they knew most Americans were armed...
With guns we are citizens,without them we are subjects.
Its not about gun control, its about control.
Historically when governments took away their citizen's guns they then rounded up their opposition and exterminated them.
