I am truly afraid for my country, and this election is NOT just about jobs. It is about whether or not we will remain free people, or enter into Government slavery. I am reminded of the statement George Washington made regarding government: “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence – it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master.”
I would like Mitt Romney to look me, and the American people in the eye and tell us what he is going to do about ending executive orders (see this link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders specifically, promoting international regulatory cooperation, and the executive orders restructuring our government into a dictatorship under the guise of a national emergency) I would like Mitt to tell me how he is going to get rid of the idea that our Constitution is somehow not good enough for us (see this link:http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/02/03/ruth_bader_ginsburg_to_egypt_dont_use_us_constitution_as_a_model.html) I have researched a great deal, and feel a great deal of fear for our nation, and only a great deal of anger at what has gone on behind our backs! As an example: Why in the world would we give away our nation to the United Nations in the form of "Sustainability" "9. We reaffirm the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as
well as other international instruments relating to human rights and international law. We emphasize the responsibilities of all States, in conformity with the Charter
of the United Nations, to respect, protect and promote human rights and
fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of any kind as to race, colour, sex,
language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth, disability or other status"(see this link:http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/LTD/N12/436/88/PDF/N1243688.pdf?OpenElement) Honestly, I want to trust folks running for office, but when I see the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (from the United Nations)ensconced in the White House "Over sixty years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed the right of every person “to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers,” that right remains in peril in far too many countries." (This link:http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/05/03/statement-president-world-press-freedom-day) AND from the Department of State I get a little antsy:

I plege alegiance to the FLAG of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and for the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation under GOD!!!!!.  I do not see Barack Oboma's, Mitt Romny's name, Ron Pauls name, the name of any union, the ACLU, the name of congress or any of congress' minions or a\the names of any burocrat, or any one religious organization nor any thing other than the UNITED STATES under GOD!!!!

GOD and COUNTRY only.  So now we must choose those who we would like to govern this great nation.  One who has served his church in an honorable fashion and who has displayed a belief in GOD, one who has accomplished things that have benifited everyone in different ways, one who believes in individual and states rights,  one who RESPECTS the intelligence and beliefs of others.  Well we don't have anyone with the wisdom of King Solomon, we only have imperfect humans who also are GODS creation.

I am not affiliated with any political paty or any political person, I respct everyones right to think for

themselves, to choose their lifestyle, to live their life in the way they choose to as long as they DO NOT infringe or attempt to impair, deprive or demean my rights.  I do not choose to engage in homosexaul behavior and I resent any one attempting to influence me in that life style.  I choose to worship my God in my own way and refuse to be influenced otherwise.  I refuse to adopt any political idealogy and resent any attempts to influence me otherwise. I refuse to smoke or ingest any kinds of recreational drugs, Only God has the power to make life a beautiful, fulfilling adventure, nothing else can compare. I am a hybrid Christian not bound to any religious church or sect. I have live my life as a free man and I will continue to live as a free man until God calls me home.

I will vote for the Romney/Ryan  presidential ticket, they embrace more of my concepts of God fearing, moral, ethical and honorable imperfect humans than a great many of the existing political powers  combined.

OK, it looks good....

OK. I have had moderation turned on for a while and most all the posts have been within the limits of good behavior. I am turning off the approval feature as long as comments are civil and to the point. I don't mind healthy debate or criticism. I do object to mindless, knee-jerk dedication to a cause (or personal cult such as surrounds Obamugabe). Let's get on with the business at hand. Thank you to those who have taken the time to read my ramblings and comment on them. Dialog is where ideas come from. I don't claim to have the solutions to the nations problems, but if enough intelligent people look at the problem, they usually come up with a solution that will satisfy most, if not all.

       Loyal American citizens, those living in the real world, love Freedom and Liberty.  They would sooner die than live in a country governed by individuals who would rule them.  I happen to be one of those ready and willing to die for my God, my family, my Freedom and Liberty.  I am not alone.  There are millions of Americans willing to give as much as I to defend their God given right to Freedom, Liberty and happiness.  The highest law of the land stands on the side of these people, the United States Constitution.  Our founding Fathers considered it so important that every citizen had a right to own and bear arms that they included the Constitution.  They did not consider that we would need these weapons to hunt with or defend our homes from criminals.  They knew that if the right to own and bear arms was not an undeniable right under the law one day an elected government would try to take arms away from all citizens.  They knew that such a government would have only one reason to do this, to put every citizen under their absolute control.  It is absolutely imperative that every citizen be able to defend our Constitution and the Freedoms it guarantees.  This has never been more evident than it is with our present leadership in Washington.  I love my country and its Constitution and would never do anything to harm either.  However, I have no respect for the government nor do I, or any other citizen, owe this government any loyalty or anything else.  Every citizen owes his or her country whatever each can do for its continued survival and success.  This includes protecting the country and its Constitution from politicians.  To this end we must never, under any circumstances, allow any attempt to remove arms from American citizens.  For those who just cannot understand why gun owners are so dedicated, who do you want to have the power, the people or the tyrants in government? Consider what is happening to citizens in other countries where the people could not own guns, get the picture?  If you say "it can't happen here" you are nothing more than ignorant fool.

Obama is following the desires of his anti-American, absent, drunk of a father who hated the United States. By shifting American money to the third world, by giving away American Power, to those who hate the west, who hate modern civilization and for the most part who hate their own people.

I have been listening to the cacophony of cowardly Republicans jumping all over Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri concerning his comments about rape and abortion a few days ago.  I understand that what he said was ill-advised but he tried to answer a very tough question instead of dodging it as most politicians would do.  He did manage to make a mess of it but has attempted to make amends in a very humble and honorable fashion.  Akin has apologized profusely, explained what he actually meant, explained where he got the information he was basing his statement on, and has also acknowledged that he spoke on facts that he now knows were feasible but questionable.  The man made a mistake in the way he stated his point and the entire Republican Party is throwing him to the wolves for it.

Leadership not Hope

The rich should be taxed more ? There is a better way to help the country and adventure the entire world. Dynastic wealth is a very benefitually to the whole community if it managed correctly. The rich can help the entire population of the U.S.A. By sponsoring public work projects. The rich should be building damns, highways, planting forests rebuilding our decaying infer structure once the envy o...
f the world now a glaring example of the lack of political will and insight and a weakening economy
       By maintaining a vast amounts of private wealth governed by a public minded board so much more can be done then any charity. Eventually charities burn through all the donated cash and need more. Dynastic wealth can injecting large some of money into the system which is spent effectively on projects that need to be desperately completely. Would simultaneously put Americans back to work in highly skilled good paying careers. This would allow Americans to save more and spend more. Thus putting other American back to work increasing the tax base. Allowing this nation greater responsibility to the general well being of the country with out borrowing from other nations.
        And the Rich actually make a profit into long term. By allowing a toll on any new project to pay the projects back like a public bond. The  phenomenon would be self sustaining  but the political will must come from the people themselves to demand that the elected representatives stop pandering to who ever feed their election campaigns war chest. And do what's right for the Country. Or better yet elect entirely new blood to clean out the old corrupt, inefficient, under educated under achieving Congress
   By maintaining dynastic wealth and properly administrating it. Privately owned national sovereignty funds could be created over night allowing the rich to make even more money simultaneously benefiting the entire country. People and inferstructure, natural resources would all benefit and benefit quickly.  Huge amounts of money can be privately maintained can be used for the public good. Dynastic wealth could be used to expand the economy save the middle class and make a profit for the private funds.

Merriam-Webster’s definition of EXTORTION

1: the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property; especially: the offense committed by 4063561321?profile=originalan official engaging in such practice

2: something extorted; especially: a gross overcharge

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/extortion

From Chicago to Madison to Sacramento to Washington DC and points in between:

 » Do as we say and nobody gets hurt. Get the picture sweetheart?

Those self-imagined, self-appointed “intellectual elites” within the ”progressive” Democratic Party and their tarnished Oval Office idol insist the 2012 election is a fight for the middle class.

 » Union members make up only 12.9% of the middle class. If a smart politician wanted to fight for the remaining 87.1%, they would be against forcing those voters to pay more taxes so government sector 4063561351?profile=originalunions can enjoy a job where dismissal for incompetence is virtually impossible, Cadillac benefits (with smaller payroll deductions than the private sector) are the norm, and exorbitant salaries and bloated retirement pensions are business as usual.

Government sector unions offer nothing of value to America. The prevention of workplace violations have long been secured by workplace rights legislation. The only value government sector unions have to offer to anyone is to crooked politicians who promise them cushy, taxpayer funded benefits in exchange for campaign funding and guaranteed election turnout.

Can you say criminal quid pro quo?

 » You politicians better give us what we want or you will get no union support. Get the picture chum?

For those who propagate the misrepresentation that union’s “fighting for what they believe in” shows character:

 » How can anyone truly believe that threatening small business owners with boycotts shows character? 4063561456?profile=originalSmall business owners are people who are hard-working individuals, who have invested overtime hours without pay for weeks, months and years on end in hopes they will achieve the American dream of success, who simply wish to remain neutral in the government sector union’s battle.  Bullying and intimidating these people displays character?

To paraphrase former U.S. President Bill Clinton: It depends on what your definition of character is.

 » Support us whether you want to or not and nobody’s business gets hurt. Defy us and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure your business fails. Get the picture pal o’ mine?

On the other hand, when Conservatives peaceably assemble to petition their Government for a redress of grievances, they are rabid, violent, hateful extremists…

…and of course, RACIST!!

 » What is extreme is acting like $16 trillion in national debt should be of no concern.

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

 » What is extreme is painting Conservative budget plans to cut a $3.7 trillion federal budget by $61 billion (less than 1%) as extreme.

 » What is extreme is describing plans to freezes an already enacted 25% increase in federal government spending as a serious attempt to cut spending.

 » What is extreme is classifying brave, self-sacrificing veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq as potential domestic terrorists.

 » What is extreme is saying that average, everyday Americans who simply want their government to follow the U.S. Constitution should be considered threats to national security.

 » What is extreme is demanding an increase in the U.S. debt limit without restraint ad infinitum.

 » What is extreme is a Department of Justice that picks and chooses which laws to enforce based on the White House’s “progressive” political agenda.

 » What is extreme is a radical fringe leftist “progressive” Oval Office occupier who truly believes that being anti-Constitutional, anti-free speech, anti-free market, anti-business, anti-traditional energy, anti-religious freedom, anti-gun, pro-illegal immigration, pro-UN treaty restrictions on individual U.S. liberties is somehow in any way shape or form in America’s best interests.

 » What is extreme is the empty class warfare rhetoric that “the rich”, those top 5 percent who still pay more than the bottom 95 percent, “don’t pay their fair share” of support to a slothful, bloated, deficit spending, ever expanding, spiraling completely out of control federal bureaucratic nightmare.

 » What is extreme is the conscious choice made by big government collectivists to ignore economic realities and force every individual to purchase a commodity that imposes collectivist goals on everyone else.

» What is extreme is the conscious decision made by big government collectivists that the bottom 47 percent who do not pay any income taxes somehow magically qualify to receive an income tax refund.

The United States does not have a revenue problem.  The United States has a spending problem.  A major 4063561478?profile=originalspending problem…  Recklessly continuing America’s massive deficit spending in the name of “social justice” or “economic justice” is suicidal.

The re-election of one current White House occupant ensures that America will be destroyed via the institutionalized “progressive” left’s Cloward-Piven strategy.  By foisting the government sector union failure upon America, what the institutionalized “progressive” left is doing is nothing short of criminal.  It is, by definition, extortion.

Instead of being elected to office, they should be imprisoned.

An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) on or about March 1977.
Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that, his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut  residents.
Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!
Now comes the best part!  Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii , where he died.
Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the  Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.
The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, and because he never received Social Security benefits, there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.
The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. Citizen, either because he was born in  Kenya or became a citizen of  Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwig's Connecticut SSN for Obama.
Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue of Barry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, because they will have no way of defending Obama.
Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "natural born"  there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else's SSN,  it is a clear indication of fraud.
Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists.. If the voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful, cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be the biggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.           ****************************************************************************************************         Very Interesting Bit of Detective Work;
    1.  Back in 1961, people of color were called 'Negroes.'              
So how can the Obama 'birth certificate' state he is 'African-American' when the term wasn't even used at that time?          
        2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father.
No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in " Kenya ,  East Africa ". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his      father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist?  Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the " British East Africa Protectorate".
          3.  On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of  birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity Gynecological Hospital ".       
This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively.  The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth  certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

This administration accused the Republican candidate Romney of outsourcing jobs while he was restructuring companies.  What this administration does not want you to understand (political muddying of the water and how they like to do that) is that by allowing illegal aliens to enter the U.S. they are in effect outsourcing but some folks call it insourcing since these illegals are taking jobs for reduced wages from American citizens  who would be paid a higher wage.  Too much of the money being made by illegals is being transferred out of the U.S. in lieu of being recirculated within the U.S. thus creating more economic problems for the U.S.  What all past administrations do not publicize is that our Balance of Payments Deficit has been negative for many, many years.  We have been buying more that we have been selling to other countries resulting in a deficit.  Does this deficit matter?  You bet, as it is one more contribution to the demise of our economy.  Some people state that we need to allow foreigners into the country and I believe that is legitimate as long as they come in legally and abide by the law.  Other folks state that it does not matter since we need more younger people to support the growing older population and that is why the Administration and all previous administrations allowed illegals to cross the border without a challenge.  If that is the case we Americans have only ourselves to blame as collectively the U.S. has had well over 50 million abortions since Roe versus Wade.  We are self destructing.  Americans need to realize that the Bible and the 10 Commandments were given to us by God as a very realistic and practical blueprint for living.  If we continue to snub our nose at the Creator and His laws we will suffer even more as time goes on.  He knows what is best for us that is why He has provided the Bible, Christian Tradition, Churches, priests, ministers and Rabbis, etc for us so that we will have life and have it more abundantly and ultimately save our souls.  Sincere prayer to our Creator equals enlightenment!  Why do we need enlightenment from our Creator?  Can you really depend on the media and the biased educational system to provide enlightenment.  In reality, most of them provide brainwashing for their hidden agendae and most of us swallow it, hook, line and sinker.  Only the Creator will provide us with the truth because He is truth, itself.  Something to think about and it would not hurt to pray sincerely to our Creator for enlightenment!  What have you got to you lose?

Censorship? Not at all.

I am not censoring anyone with half a brain. My blog is moderated simply because I don't have the time to "debate" with morons. There has been far too much of that already. We seem to spend all our efforts arguing rather than doing something about the mess we are in. I will continue to moderate for a while just to get a feel for the responses. However, unlike the politicians, I WILL NOT change my opinions simply because I think it's what people want to hear. I am 70 years old. I am a rabid originalist when it comes to the Constitution. I am a dues paying member of the Tea Party, unlike some here. I am an Oathkeeper and I am county coordinator for the Constitution Party. My heros are Justices Scalia and Thomas and anyone serving in the military. These are the people who are willing to put it on the line or go against the grain rather than just complain and talk.

 

I am too old to be in politics so I do what I can trying to influence others to see the light. We are light years away from the America of the revolution. Not technologically, that is a given, but spiritually and ethically. We have traded freedom to be ourselves for the security of being spoon fed from cradle to grave. There are still patriots willing to walk the walk. I pray that I can meet some of them and encourage them to keep up the good fight. Obama is not the problem. The problem is we let him happen. We are to blame not Obama. He is simply doing what any good despot would do. The sooner we realize that we are the problem and the ONLY solution the sooner we regain our freedom.

Note to Mr Trivisani:

I hope you are right about Romney/Ryan. Perhaps I am more cynical. I am a student of human nature. Once Romney gets the essentially unlimited power of the presidency, there is nothing to stop him from his own brand of big government and spend, spend, spend. We are no longer a nation of laws but a nation of executive orders (ie: dictatorship). It is terrifying that the Constitution and government/civics classes are no longer taught in schools (for the most part). The problem here is not the crooked politicians but the fact that the electorate is uninformed and ignorant of how things are supposed to work. Worse, they no longer take their sovereignity seriously. We are the rulers by God, not the federal government! After the revolutionary war the heirarchy was deemed to be:

            God

            The People

            The Sovereign States

            The Limited Federal Government

Now the heirarchy is:

            The Federal Government

            Everything and everyone else.

God and the people are not a factor except as a source of production and money.

I suspect the Romney will be more of the same. More benign perhaps but still a gentle despot who is primarily looking out for his own interests. He is a politician, he can do nothing else. I am reminded of the story of the frog and the scorpion.

This is probably all a moot discussion. I look for Obama to anull the elections, or declare a national emergency and set aside the Constitution and Congress, or perhaps just simply declare himself President for Life. He is capable of anything. He has proven that he considers himself above that pesky Constitution and the common law.

Be Encouraged!

8/21/12

Howdy all!  It’s fair week in SE Washington.  We have bands such as Foghat and REO Speedwagon playing.  So, is that good?  Well, it tells me how old I am.  I took my fiancée to see REO; been married over 26 years.  And Foghat?  I saw them on their farewell tour – in 1978!  So is this good or bad? 

Any hoo,..

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again rejoice! ~ Philippians 4:4

The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epocha when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period." --George Washington, Circular to the States, 1783

On face value, George’s statement is sad.  At no other time in history did man better understand the rights of man?  Really?  Well, for a very long time, this was true.  Our founders had exceptional vision most of us would agree was given to them as a gift from God.  And we know how effective they were at utilizing that gift.  But what about now?  Many people don’t (or won’t) understand.  They don’t pay attention outside the snippets of lies presented in such a nice package on the national ‘evening news’ broadcast.  But, there has been a growing swell of understanding by those who do nothing more than pay attention, and say we have had enough.  Before the last 4 or 5 years, maybe as far back as ten or even twenty, how many times had you heard the phrase unalienable rights?  How many knew more than the first line or two from the Declaration of Independence, or part of the Preamble of the Constitution?  And now; how much do you know of these documents?  HOW MANY HAVE A FAVORITE LINE??  I do.  Article IV, Section 4 – “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.” (BTW, When the President is whistled over the brow of a US Naval ship, he is announced “United States Arriving”). 

So, there are a lot of things going wrong with our government.  Our federally elected employees have run amok.  We have charged them with managing our national affairs.  And they are blowing it.  So, here we are, set to make a change; many changes.  Changes are to be made because our employees have not performed up to our expectations.  We need to clean house, and hire people with integrity to perform the tasks given them by the governed.  We the People have that power.  Nowhere else on earth, at no other time in known history have a people been able to do that without war.  There are those around who feel this absence of aggression may change this election year.  I happen to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that we will prevail, our Constitution will prevail, and The United States of America will remain as one united land.  American Exceptionalism is not dead.  It has had a headache.  It’s time to massage the temples, take the medicine to correct what is wrong.  Exceptionalism has some pains, but the pain will go away.  There is nothing to fear, as they say.  So let’s rejoice!  Paul’s words to the Philippians can be very encouraging here.  Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again rejoice!  No matter what may lay before us, we will prevail, as long as we maintain our faith, our principles and our values.  Summer is almost over.  Autumn is just around the corner.  It’s time to rejoice!

Take care, God bless and especially at this time in history,

STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
