GLORY GLORY HALLELUIA HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON.

 

LAST NIGHT I CAUGHT MICHELE BACHMAN ON THE HUCABEE SHOW WHERE SHE PUBLICLY REITERATED HER CORE OF FAITH AS SHE RELATED THAT HER DECISIONS ARE GIDED BY THAT FAITH AND THE WISDOM THAT GOD HAS BLESSED HER WITH.  SHE THANKED GOD AND HER FELLOW COUNTRYMEN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE RIGORS OF A HIGH PROFILE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. SHE MADE IT CLEAR THAT SHE WOULD NOT ALLOW HER CORE VALUES AND BELIEFS TO BE COMPRISED FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. SHE ONCE AGAIN MADE IT CLEAR THAT SHE WAS NOT FOR SALE POLITICALLY. SHE HAS ALWAYS EXHIBITED HER CORE VALUES AND BELIEFS THROUGHOUT HER PUBLIC CAREER. MICHELLE BACHMAN IS TRULY AN AMERICAN TREASURE.  HER DAY WILL COME WHEN GOD WILLS IT.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS MARCHING AS TO WAR

WITH THE CROSS OF JESUS GOING ON BEFORE

GOD BLESS YOU MICHELLE

We know what you know and we are watching

Hello my friends and fellow patriots!  Here is an example of state governments going hog wild.  With the problems in the economy, all they can think about is getting rid of woodstoves!  Can you say Agenda 21?  I was going to send this only to WA state groups, but I think it could affect more than WA state citizens overall.  So, if you or someone you know lives in Washington state, forward this to them so they can know what their elected employees are doing for them instead of fixing a bad economy. And if you want to contact them yourselves, here's their web site.   http://www.leg.wa.gov/pages/home.aspx

Tom Kiley

(Update, just received a message from my State Senator, Delvin, who said the bill in play here is still in the house, and they are trying to stop it.  Great!)

To the members of the Senate Rules Committee, and Mr Delvin, my state Senator, I am extremely opposed to the action before you, to prohibit the use of woodstoves in the state.  Thousands of families across the state use woodstoves for their main source of heat.  In fact, many of them use woodstoves as their ONLY source of heat.  Changes to section (b) which as I understand are, '(b) "Prohibit the use" or "prohibition" may include requiring disclosure, removal, rendering inoperable, providing evidence of destruction, or other similar requirements as may be approved by rule by a local air pollution control authority or other department.'  This is absolutely ludicrous, for starters.  As I said, thousands of homes have woodstoves.  Many have more than one.  The cost just to implement section (b) per house hold will be extraordinary.  Multiply that by the thousands of affected homes.  We're talking millions of dollars just to disable the woodstoves!  Then, the cost of installing a new source of heat, such as a heat pump or central heating will also be in the thousands per household.  Another few millions of dollars you will force taxpaying voters to spend money that they do not have presently.  THEN, once the obvious electrical system is installed, the cost of running the new system will also be exorbitant.  To be conservative, each month the new system will add approximately one to two hundred dollars to the electric bill.  $100-200 per month, times 4-5 months?  That will be anywhere from 400 to1000 dollars extra each winter that these households will have to pay to keep their homes warm.  So, you are planning to force Washington State, taxpaying, voting households to pay anywhere from 3 to 10 thousand dollars to replace their woodstoves, and from then on pay up to 1 thousand dollars more for electric heat per season.  Why?

Now, what about the businesses that will be affected?  I don't know how many fireplace businesses are located in Washington state, so let's be conservative again, and say 100 across the state.  If each one sells 10 fireplaces a year, at 1500 to 5000 dollars a piece, you are looking to prevent 100 businesses from selling 15 to 50 thousand dollars worth of product.  Again, multiply that figure by the number of businesses, you come up with 1.5 to 5 million dollars worth of small business sales.  And that's just the stoves themselves.  That doesn't include the smaller items such as bellows ($25-50 ea), wood racks ($10-30 ea), decorative mantle items ($20 up) Stove tool kits - poker, shovel, brush,etc. ($15-200 ea).  And fireplaces?  Chimney sweeps, cleaning devices, etc. can also reach in the tens of thousands of dollars of lost business as well!  You have the makings of destroying a business that has been in this state for a very long time that has potential sales of over 10 million dollars annually!  WHY????

So, you all are the elected employees sent to Olympia to do our business.  What is the most important issue our state and our nation faces today?  It sure isn't woodstoves!  It's the economy, right!  So, how can you look your constituents, your BOSSES in the face and say with a happy grin that you destroyed a business worth 1.5 to 5 million dollars, and forced your employers to spend 3 to 10 thousand dollars each to conform to your new rule, or freeze in the winter?  How can you do this and expect to have any future in politics?  Those in the house may have gotten this one over on us by not promoting the ability to provide testimony and discussion before they voted.  They did that at their political peril.  I recommend you think twice before we decide your political peril in November.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Kiley

The Mechanization of Creation

The inevitable takes place when you wander from the path of destiny, whether individually, socially, or the world. This was true in my life. I assume it is true in every individual’s life,  as well as socially, and worldwide—stated in the simplest of terms.

When we understand the subtle workings of the universe—how it develops its energy—we will know how it comes to us individually. This I know from personal experience.  The mistake we’ve made is looking externally for answers.

The same as any mechanism produces energy; each part with a special purpose, earthbound authority did not build the engine and does not know how it works.  God created each of us with a special purpose. We are the parts of the engine.  When authority attempts to take the place of God, the mechanism fails.  Father does not know best. Father is there to teach his children to do the best for themselves.  I got this idea from Jesus.

The thing we need to learn is that it is never ever trickle down. It is forever and always trickle up.  If all the parts of the engine are working properly it produces full power, efficiently and effectively.  Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth.

The worst thing Obama  and Congress could do is to add more fuel to a malfunctioning engine.  The only thing we can do to get the engine of enterprise working property again it to do a general overhaul to find which parts are malfunctioning.    

As I read the Constitution, it says we were meant to be self-governed. When the Constitution was written, the man who built the best wagon was the man we hired to build our wagons. All working together, with almost no government, we, the people, got the engine of enterprise working efficiently and effectively.  

The people prospered. America grew in power. We  began to look to government to solve our problems.  The next thing you know, we were in the Great Depression, and looking to government for the cure.  How long is it going to take to know it is not trickle down?  The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  At this rate, the meek will never inherit the earth.

The Constitution has the answer.  Your government is ignoring your Constitution.  Why are you looking to government for the cure? The cure is looking to the creator of the engine, learning what is needed, and making the repairs—before government kills  our coughing and wheezing engine, trying to get its power back by flooding it with excessive fuel.

Why Newt Must Be The Nominee!!

Proe Graphique

**** NEWT'S AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS *****
**HE MUST BE THE GOP NOMINEE**

` Proe Graphique but mostly from the amazing Sue Sanders.

Newt Gingrich as GA Congressman and Speaker of the House

■33 years as Congressman including 4 as Speaker of the house

■Lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 90%
(most recent year was for 1998 at 100%. The BEST conservative)

■He had a Democrat controlled Congress up until 1994, a Democrat President and Senate from 1992 until 1998

■Helped Reagan pass biggest tax cut in 50 years as Minority Whip, called out George Bush on breaking his promise and led (as a legislator) a Democrat President to do the same.
(Not part of the "establishment" and puts conservatism before party)

■Art Laffer confirms Gingrich helped on a team that designed “Supply Side Economics.”
(Laffer was reagan's economic guru and they hardly come more respected than laffer)

■Supported/Championed policies that created 11 Million jobs.

■National Taxpayers Union’s Annual Scorecard on reduced spending and taxes gave Gingrich an “A”, for his last four years in office, ranking him #1, #4, #2 and #11 and as one of the most conservative members in Congress.

■Led a Balanced Budget initiative with a Democrat President. AS A SPEAKER not an Executive Branch Leader and not in control of the Senate or Executive Branch. He balanced the budget 4 times creating the first SURPLUS in decades.
(Historic accomplishment by ay standard. Most politicians would have settled for that alone)

■$400 billion in debt was paid off during time as Speaker, although Gingrich agreed with Reagan on deal that ended up running deficits until 1988.

■Fought and defeated HillaryCare both in strategy, as well as political and legislative maneuvering.

■On third try got a Democratic President and Senate to initiate Welfare Reform that put 60% of recipients to work.

■Gingrich’s pro-life voting record is 98.6%, 70 out of 71 votes.

■Brought two partial birth abortion bills to Clinton that served as the model for what was passed under George W. Bush.

■He helped Reagan’s initiative to eliminate 12 of 94 programs and cut budgets of many others like the SBA more than 50%.
(Nancy Reagan said that Ronald Reagan passed the conservative torch to Newt, praised newt's conservative work and she has never said otherwise)

■He identified, recruited, campaigned for and helped organize over the biggest minority opposition swing getting 367 Congressional candidates to sign the Contract With America. This resulted in a NET GOP pickup of 52 seats in the House, 8 in the Senate and 11 Governorships. 

■Multiple conservatives congressmen got their political start including:Jon Kyl
Mike DeWine
Jim Inhofe
Fred Thompson
Bill Frist
Rick Santorum (who publicaly said he followed Newt's model for leadership and has since stabbed newt in the back)

■Contract With America – (1995 Description): “…represented the culmination of 30 years of creative conservative thinking dealing with the basic social and economic problems of modern America. The ideas provided the background for the widest range of legislative initiatives, certainly since the 1930s, and possibly at any time in American political history.” 

■Contract With America, summarized: The ten items in the Contract were all acted upon in the first 100 days of the new Congress, which is what the signatories had pledged. Nine of the ten items in the Contract passed the House: Only the constitutional amendment on term limits (which required a two-thirds vote) was defeated. Out of a total of 302 roll call votes on issues related to the Contract With America, the conservatives prevailed on 299 of them. A balanced budget amendment passed in the House by a 300-123 margin but was subsequently defeated as it fell one vote short of the two-thirds needed for passage in the U.S. Senate. The overall margin by which the items in the Contract were passed averaged about 70 percent despite the fact that the Republicans only held a 12-seat margin over the Democrats (52-48 percent, the smallest House majority margin in 40 years). Given the notorious lack of party discipline in the American Congress, the passage by a large majority of nearly all of the items in the Contract was a remarkable achievement. I can’t adequately cover all 10 initiatives and their profundity but they include:
* Congressional Reform including Congress being subject to the law they pass
* Balanced Budget with Line Item Veto (failed Senate, passed Veto but declared unconstitutional)
* Anti-crime package (truth in sentencing, more law enforcement help)
* Personal Responsibility (ultimately became Welfare Reform)
* Tax Package Including Child Tax Credit, Elimination of Marriage Penalty, Savings Account, Middle Class Tax Relief
* Disallow US Troops from serving under foreign authorities like the UN
* Frivolous Litigation vetoed by Clinton but tort reform override veto.
* Job Creation act included capital-gains cuts and indexation, neutral cost recovery, risk assessment/cost-benefit analysis, strengthening the Regulatory Flexibility Act and unfunded mandate reform to create jobs and raise worker wages.Other sections of the Contract include a proposed Family Reinforcement Act (tax incentives for adoption, strengthening the powers of parents in their children’s education, stronger child pornography laws, and elderly dependent care tax credit) and the Senior Citizens Fairness Act (raise the Social Security earnings limit, repeal the 1993 tax hikes on Social Security benefits and provide tax incentives for private long-term care insurance).

■He is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals at Air University and taught officers from all five services as an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University. THIS MEANS NEWT TEACHES OUR GENERALS HOW TO FIGHT WARS. HOW'S THAT FOR A FUTURE COMMANDER IN CHIEF? No other president aside from a general has had anywhere near that experience and Santorum, Romney and Paul certainly don't come close. 

Newt is unique among all current individuals running for and/or holding political office.

We're out of our minds if we do not nominate him.

NEWT 2012!

Minster

                                It is hard to minster when you make a plan.

                                      It is so easier because of a promise.

                                   A plan can be changed, but a promise cannot.

                                A promise can be broken, but cannot be changed.

     But we can do both, changed a plan, and break a promise when we have taken Satan hand.

                                             So which one do you want?

                             Satan plan that  will keep you in chins,and never be free

                                                                 or

                                  Jesus promise that will keep you free for eternity

Be Encouraged 2/27/12

Howdy all!  Another week begins.  Another round of presidential primaries and caucuses await us.  I am getting ready for the Washington Caucus on Saturday with everything a new PCO could need; a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream and a glass of homemade iced tea.  Ah, the luxuries of politics.

Any hoo,..

We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. ~ Psalm 33:20

It is particularly pleasing to me to be able to announce to you, that the revenues which have been established, promise to be adequate to their objects, and may be permitted, if no unforeseen exigency occurs, to supercede, for the present, the necessity of any new burthens upon our Constituents. ~ George Washington, Third Annual Message to the House of Representatives

Has anyone alive ever heard the President of the United States say these words to anyone, let alone Congress?  ‘I am happy to say we have enough money to pay the bills.  So unless something bad happens, we don’t need anymore!!’  I WISH!!  Yet this is exactly what Washington said to Congress.  The usual State of the Union goes like this; our country is strong, except here, where we need more of something so we need to collect more money.  And we have more of a need over there, so here is my plan to collect even more money.  And thanks to the poor soul we sweet talked into sitting by the first lady so we could put them on the spot, as we ask for even more money.’  Oh yeah, can’t forget, ‘And our biggest salute to the fine brave men and women of our armed forces.  It’s because of their sacrifices that we are a stronger and safer nation, which will allow us to spend less on defense again this year.’  Once, just once I’d like to hear the top federally elected employee say we don’t need any more money this year.  I could put my hope into a man or woman like that.  Fortunately, there is someone I can put all of my hope and faith into.  And He IS our help and our shield.  We should all look to Him for guidance as we go to the primary polls and caucuses, looking for that next person to speak to Congress as Washington did.

 

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!

Got this from a friend today

One Pissed off Canadian Housewife
This is very good PLEASE read....

Thought you might like to read this letter
to the editor. Ever notice how some people
just seem to know how to write a letter?

This one surely does!

This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh how
it also applies to the U.S.A., U.K. and Australia .

THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH

Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to
her local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady...

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was
it or was it not, started by Islamic people who
brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001
and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from
the capitol of the USA and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

Do you think I care about four U. S. Marines urinating on some dead Taliban insurgents?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were
claiming to be tortured by a justice system of a
nation they are fighting against in a brutal Insurgency.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle
East, start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief
of which, is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are
sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head, while Berg
screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called insurgents
in Afghanistan , come out and fight like men,
instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in Mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow
themselves up in search of Nirvana, care about the
innocent children within range of their suicide Bombs.

I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that
their freedom of Speech on stories, is more important than
the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting
at home, to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a
CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent
terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the
head when he is told not to move because he
might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:

I don't care. Shoot him again.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food, that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe, in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes
it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.'
Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it.

I don't care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to
all your E-mail Friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to
the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete
button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't
complain when more atrocities committed by radical
Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering, if
during their life on earth, they made a difference in
the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.

I have another quote that I would like to
share AND...I hope you forward All this.

One last thought for the day:

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The British Soldier.

3. The Canadian Soldier.

4. The US Soldier, and

5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul,
the other four, for you and your children's Freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET!

AMEN! GOD BLESS CANADA AND AMERICA .

Psalm 27

Of David.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

Question sent to White House on gas prices

I wrote the White House yesterday, asking why President Obama did not approve of the gas pipelines from Canada and Alaska.  I stated it is the only way the USA can become untangeled from the mess we are in with Eastern oil having us in a strangle-hold.  I stated we have got to become self-sufficient. Coal is also a great resource we have that is not used to it's full potential.  I doubt that I will get any answer!!

Be Encouraged 2/26/12

Howdy all!  Another Sunday coming with the pundits claiming they have the big story of the day.  You know, one of the GOP candidates will make a gaffe, or throw a stone at another one, and they got it on tape!  Oh so clever those journalists (sic) are.  I can’t wait to hear those great questions.  You know, “How many chocolates did you really eat at that candy shoppe in New Hampshire?”; or this one is a good one, “How many of the letter ‘I’ are really in Mississippi?”

Any hoo,..

I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. ~ Psalm 130:5

Bearing this in mind, and seeing that sectionalism has since arisen upon this same subject, is that warning a weapon in your hands against us, or in our hands against you?  Could Washington himself speak, would he cast the blame of that sectionalism upon us, who sustain his policy, or upon you who repudiate it?  We respect that warning of Washington, and we commend it to you, together with his example pointing to the right application of it.  But you say you are conservative – eminently conservative – while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort.  What is conservatism?  Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?  We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by our fathers who framed the Government under which we live; while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new.  Abraham Lincoln, Speech at New Haven Connecticut, March 6, 1860.

Ok, I had a little fun with pundits (or is that pun with fundits).  But when you read the quote from Lincoln you can see how eerily similar it is to today’s problems not only between democrats and republicans, but more closely to establishment republicans and conservatives like tea parties and 9/12 groups.  The conservative groups like the tea parties want to remain close to the structure laid down by the founders, yet the establishment wants to play by their own rules, which they seemingly find more lucrative.  And the democrats want the entire GOP structure to collapse, so they can do what they want with no interference.  This is not what the founding fathers envisioned.  Or is it?  Did they see political party infighting?  Absolutely they did!  They had it themselves.  So why wouldn’t it happen with their descendants?  And as in Lincoln’s speech, there was tremendous infighting then; over slavery.  Today, we have been experiencing the infighting and cross party fighting for a long time now.  And it’s over slavery – slavery of American citizens by the government.  We are forced to work hard for our pay.  But a major portion goes to the government.  The more we work, the more we make, and the more we have to give to the government.  And the present federally elected employee in charge keeps trying to find ways to take more.  It gets more ridiculous every day. 

So, what to do?  Well, we know by the writings of our founders that there was divine intervention during the development of our nation.  We know that throughout our nations’ history, we have been guided by His hand.  So, why should we look anywhere else for support?  We all have rights and responsibilities as citizens of America.  These rights have been given to us by our Creator, as so eloquently stated in the Declaration of Independence.  So, we must work together, with the establishment and the conservatives.  We need to focus on what the nations was founded on, and how.  We must count on Him.  We must put our hope in His word to save our nation.  And, since the Lord helps those who help themselves, we must take on the hard part.  Be involved, be vocal.  Do not be violent, but do not be silent.  Our nation does not belong to any one individual or group.  It belongs equally to us all; everyone, of every color, every creed, every increment of society, every section of every city, town, suburb, and rural free district. The tea party movement does not want to take over the nation.  We do not want to overthrow any part of any government entity.  What the tea party wants is to return the government structure back to what the founders designed, developed and passed down to us all.  Equal rights, equal justice, and equal freedom for all.  Martin Luther King summed it up the best, when he dreamed that one day his four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.  Exceptional words from an exceptional man.  These great, simple words of wisdom were spoken for his children.  Yet, they speak out to us all every day.  They speak to republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals, libertarians, progressives, independents, OWS, Tea Party, EVERYONE!  Can we all just get it right?

 

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!

Obama and Blogo

Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell
Obama's seat in Congress.

Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Rod
Blagojevich.   He replied: "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time
... And that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago
Bears Football Game."  
Of course, you can believe him - he's our President.

The Selfless American

This is being written specifically for Art Phillips & all the other men & women who have or are still protecting our freedoms. This is for the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard & the Coast Guard. This is for their families & for those abroad or home. I offer my deepest admiration, respect, prayers & for some my condolences for their sacrifices. Not one of us who hasn't been there can even imagine what it really means to do this job. We don't know what it's like to leave family & friends behind, not know where you might end up. To try & eat or sleep out in the open in the cold, heat, dust & dirt. To have to do the simplest things while wearing all your gear. Hoping you get some sleep or get to eat without gunfire interrupting those few quiet moments. Not knowing how long you'll be gone or how soon you'll have to go back. What's going on with your family, not seeing them & missing out on living life with them. Will you go home in one piece, maybe missing a part of you or God forbid not come home at all. If this happens how will you & your family cope. Maybe losing a good buddy in a fire fight or by a IED. Feeling horrible about your loss, but feeling guilty too because you are alive. Wanting to go home but wondering if you'll be able to fit back in & have something to do. And in the end not really being able to let any of these things distract you, because it could mean yours or someone else's life. Think of the families too, Not knowing when a spouse will return & how. Having to say goodbye over & over. Raising the family alone not always having help, someone to talk with, someone who's in the same position. Not being able to share how hard it is for you when your spouse is home, because they don't need to be worried. For having to put a good face on things for the children even when you're worried sick or feel you can't do this alone another day. Just plain not being able to share life with the person you married to share life with. These spouse's have to be just as courageous, steadfast, strong & faithful. These men & women are courageous beyond belief, they should always have the support they need & they shouldn't have to even ask. Do a kindness for a soldier, vet or their family today & everyday if you can, even if it's just to thank them. And pray for them as much as possible so that all come home safe to their families & friends.

Apathy & Nazi Germany
This poem entitled “First They Came” is attributed to Pastor Martin Niemoller:
When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists, I did not protest; I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, I did not speak out; I was not a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

The Pastor who wrote this was ordered arrested by Hitler himself and was held at Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps. Allied troops freed him in 1945.

There is a lesson to be learned here, and that lesson is this: Waiting to speak up is waiting until it is too late. There is no time like the present to speak up, step up, and get active. Once your liberty is gone, your right and ability to assemble and speak out are gone, what will you do? No one--let me repeat that--NO ONE is coming to save you once you are locked up for dissenting. Who are you counting on, the French?

There are no excuses in the fight for liberty. There are no excuses in the fight for freedom. There are no excuses in the fight to save the Constitution. There are no excuses in the fight to save America. None.

Work hard? Not as hard as you will in a concentration camp, or under a communist regime. No time with your family? You’ll have plenty of time together (unless they ship you to different locations) in a concentration camp. Tired? How about sixteen hours making big rocks into little rocks, for the government-sponsored highway project they drag you out of camp for each day? Think I’m making this up? So did the Germans and the Jewish in Germany.

Re-read the poem above. Close your eyes and remember what you learned about Hitler; he gave great speeches too. Hitler and Obama both took care of dissenters, just ask the Inspector Generals Obama and company have made go away. Hitler took over the auto business--where do you think the Volkswagen came from? The people's car. We now have GM (Government Motors). Hitler put in the first interstate system. What does Obama want to do for the economy?...put you to work building highways! Hitler was a eugenicist; he was willing to use government healthcare to eliminate costly or undesirable people. Obama’s healthcare system sounds strangely similar. Get old, have health issues, be born with a costly health issue...bummer, you are too expensive for the care program. He is Hitler without the ovens.

As I look around America today, I see a handful of Patriots willing to speak up. I see even fewer willing to take to the streets and protest. I see even fewer willing to do it on a consistent and regular basis. No one is going to save you, but you.

Read the poem again. Let it sink in. When they come for you, who will speak for you? Apathy worked for the Germans, if you don’t mind a totalitarian regime. I guess it will work for you too.
