Hey Illegal Mexican’s, Go Home and Revolt!




Follow the example of Egypt, Syria and Libya and fight for a better country at home. I know it is easier to make a run for the border and soak up a living off the backs of the American taxpayer, but grow a pair for a change and converge on your own government and demand what you seek from America from the rich who keep your homeland in poverty. That’s right! I said balls up and fight to live free and prosper in your own country. I see your Mexican Flag on Decals, Bumper Stickers, and rear window art all over your American automobiles. It seems you are so proud of Mexico. Well, I ask what Johnny Depp asked in the movie, “Are you a Mexican or a Mexican’t? Sure, I know we have better medical care in the good ole United States of America. Hell it’s the best money can buy, but of course it’s so much easier to come here illegally and swamp our emergency rooms for medical care you never intend to pay for right? Well, after all, we are the stupid American’s who elect politicians to promote your plight and do nothing but tax the American citizen to pay for your free medical bills and welfare payments. We get what we deserve right? But I ask this question also; why are all these countries in the Middle East protesting their government and forcing changes in their homeland but your people choose to run? You come here to our country and demand the rights of Americans without first earning them let alone fulfilling the process of becoming legal citizens. Are you skeered? Why do you run while other citizen’s make a stand? You send home to Mexico money you earn under the table from greedy and corrupt business contractors but not weapons to arm a revolution. Why? Do you prefer to achieve prosperity on the run while trying to maintain your national dignity? Is Mexico not worth fighting for? Your pundits seem overly ready to point out the unfairness of our country yet you remain suspiciously quiet about your own! It seems the drug cartel’s have no problem fighting the Mexican government, why do the citizen’s not stand up and fight those who truly oppress you? We have our own problems, you have yours. Go home and fight for what is yours.

Try This Mr. President and Congress; Mind Your Own Damn Business For a Change!





The United States of America government is involved in matters everywhere but where we need them to be. You can argue you points with me on this if you like, but we are involved in three pointless wars in three separate countries. We are sending our children to die in lands of people who do not give three damns about America and we always get in return for our sacrifices exactly NOTHING! Why? Is it about oil like the Democrats were screaming when George Bush was at the helm? I sure as hell wish it was! Maybe our economy would be in much better shape if we took the oil resources from Iraq for payment for the salvation we gave them from Saddam. But no, we get NOTHING and we are still sacrificing our children there. Afghanistan? These people are Barbarians and will always want Barbarians controlling their worthless country. Again, we get nothing and yet we are still sending our children there to die. Libya? What in God’s name are we doing there? No ground troops! Right, so you say! Let those fools battle it out and win their own freedom. We have absolutely no business there. What difference will it make if madman Mommar Gaddafi (or however the hell his name is spelled this week) is in power or not? Who will replace him when he dies or crawls back under the rock he was born under? No one worth a damn Because these Libyan’s would only elect another madman to take his place even if they were given a free and fair opportunity to vote. And now we have a president who is above going to our representatives to discuss the sanity of sending our children there in harm’s way? We spend roughly $711 Billion dollars a year in blackmail to foreign countries that don’t give a damn about us and never will, while at the same time this current crack smoking Administration and Congress is spending us in debt faster than they can print more worthless money. Yet the Merry-Go-Round keeps going faster than ever before. Why, because our country is being run by the fools of the Liberal Left and we are letting them. Oh, don’t be feeling so self righteous if you are Republican. I am terribly sorry if you haven’t yet figured out that the Republican Party is only slightly to the center of the whacked out Party of Fools. We continue to expand our reach with our military, spreading it butter thin trying to solve problems that cannot be solved in lands that do not want peace. We have problems of our own besides the folly that governs Washington. We have no border on either side of this country with a mass exodus of millions entering and diluting our economy and increasing violent crime and drug trafficking that we need to be dealing with instead of globe trotting to these third and fourth world countries playing police to people who know nothing but terrorism and war. Bring our troops home, secure our borders with a major lockdown and lock out and deport every single illegal immigrant back to their own lands. And for God’s sake stop sending these Neanderthal’s our money. Pay our own bills first you damn fools! Charity begins at home. How will we ever be in a position to help others if we don’t first help and protect our own legal citizens? Try this Mr. President and Congress; Mind your own damn business for a change!

100 Million Immigrants into America in the Past 30 Years





How many Immigrants into our country is too many? I would guess we have past that point many years ago. We simply cannot afford anymore mass immigration into our country, yet our borders remain porous, unguarded and pathetically unprotected. There are numerous reasons why we should act immediately to guard and protect our borders from cost that soar as high as $346 Billion dollars annually according to the National Research Council, to the increase in violence and associated cost to our penal systems. The Cost to the American Taxpayer according to the NCR which states that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal Welfare and pays $10,664 in Federal taxes means the American taxpayer is paying $2,682 dollars for each immigrant household. Not to mention the cost of taxation for providing for medical expenses, hospitalization and the education of the immigrants children. 300,000 pregnant women cross our borders each year to birth their “Anchor Babies” at the expense of the American Taxpayer. This as our laws now stand secures the illegal alien to remain in our country. Why? They crossed our border illegally and now we must regard them as a legal citizen? Non-sense! Our schools have become inundated with the children of illegal aliens which drain the resources and quality time teachers have to spend with our own children due to the need to teach ESL (English as a Second Language). Also, we provide free breakfast and lunches to the tune of 7,000 dollars per year through 13 grades. Incredible! Do the taxpayer’s children receive this benefit? No, the taxpayers pay for his children’s food along with the illegal aliens children. If all of this isn’t bad enough already, try this out for size. Illegal Immigrants send home to their native countries $80 billion Untaxed Dollars in cash transfers each year.  Why do American Taxpayers allow their politicians to continue ignoring this amazingly huge crime to occur year after year against and at the cost of the Taxpayer? Enough is enough!

How Asinine Can American Politicians Become?





Just when you think you have seen our lawmakers commit the most hypocritical or dumbest policy suggestion another at its heels tops it. American lawmakers have lost all ability to use common sense once they cross the Washington Beltway. The constitution has been replaced by the rules of political correctness and the rule of law has been replaced with chaos and stupidity. The law abiding taxpayer in America has gotten the shaft while the law breakers and the entitlement crowd gain more and more importance through the purchasing of their votes by left wing democratic political leaders. Our nation has been turned over to a gang of thugs who make up the rules as they go as long as it benefits those who won’t work, do not belong or plot to destroy our country. We have allowed those who never contribute to be paid a living by those who seek office for their votes alone at the cost of ever increasing taxation to the taxpayer who is never represented in Washington. Our political leaders on both sides of the isle spend our hard earned money at record setting pace growing our national debt to the point that our very own children will never have the opportunities of the former American dream. These political whores we call leaders have sold out our national security by ensuring porous borders that allow any enemy combatant into our lands and refuse to end the terrorist assault against our people and servicemen worldwide out of fear of being labeled insensitive. Now when holding hearings on the radicalization of Muslim extremism in America these liberal liars who hate America accuse Representative King of NY of being another McCarthy and singling out Muslims as a whole. These fools would have us to believe that Muslims are a peaceful people regardless of the fact that they sit silent whenever there is a terrorist attack against our land or our military personnel. Our country is full of Muslim Mosques all around our nation which raises money and trains terrorist right under our noses yet the loony liberal left come running to their defense and shout racism at anyone who challenges these enemies of ours. One question of mine is how and why we have so many Arab people living in our land with the freedom to pass back and forth to their native Arab lands? What are they doing here other than to destroy our way of life? They are not content to live in our land as Americans, no; they wish to replace our constitution with Shariah Law, the most hideous and racist of all law known on earth. The Democrats do nothing but aid these people to the detriment of our own society and culture. It is time that Americans fight back against these politicians by calling them out and voting them out. Stand up Americans while you still can!

Why does the United States Government Endorse Radical Islam?




Historically, the United States has opposed Tyranny and hate motivated governments or dictatorships that impose their hatred in maniacal holocaust fashion or oppress their peoples under strict religious controls and poverty.  Yet, since our own people were cowardly and brutally attacked on 9-11-01 by extremists of a radical, political cult which call themselves Muslims, we have witnessed a strong unity of our political leaders turn from anger and adopt a defensive posture on any issue related to radical Islam or terrorists acts against our people. In fact, our current president will not even characterize terrorist acts of violence as terrorism. Has the leadership of our country who practices their own political religion of political correctness painted their selves into a politically correct corner and feel they have no way out but to accept radical Islam with open arms? Why does one of the most vile, most intolerant and most murderous group of people who operate under the flag of a “peaceful religion" get a pass from those who uphold the cry of tolerance and peace the loudest? How is it possible that our leadership and the Supreme Court of the United States can outlaw the posting of the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and public places, outlaw prayer and the reading of the bible in schools yet allow Muslims to gather and pray in public areas of our nation’s capital? How is it that our leaders choose to ignore terrorist attacks and outright cowardly murder of our on military personnel and refuse to call it terrorism but instead choose such opportunity to praise Islam as a “peaceful religion” while having the audacity to caution the feelings of American’s against hatred? I would be willing to state that without a doubt that Muslims are the most brutal racists that have ever existed on earth. Yet, the national media and our own government praise them as a peaceful religion and insist it is only a fraction of their group who perpetrate violence against Infidels, what all Muslims call anyone who is not a Muslim. Aside from the fact that this stance of our government leaders and their national media mouthpiece is absolutely the highest act of hypocrisy, we continue to see and hear this diatribe on a daily basis as if our own government not only endorses radical Islam, but prefers them over any other religious organization. Why? Has our own government chosen Islam as our national religion? Their allowance to exploit our national security makes one think so.   Is our president Muslim? Aside from his choice of a Muslim name and his overreaching sympathies for the Muslim’s cause? His actions seems to be proof that maybe he very well is a Muslim.

The Destruction of America, One Lie at a Time.



We American’s are a trusting lot of people. We have been blessed beyond measure, by God no doubt, to have such a government shaped from rebellion against tyranny and fail-safe constitutional documents that have guided and restrained our government to ensure it is governed by the people for the people. Certainly mistakes were made and tragedies such as Civil War occurred when the people were divided on our path, but nevertheless we grew to a point in time where all were free men and women with opportunity to pursue the American dream. We as a people trusted our government leaders for the most part. We stood by their decisions even when a minority of disagreement could always be found and in the process we have been lulled asleep by believing that our elected officials must make policy and govern within the built in limits of our constitution. We as Americans trusted our national media as well, believing that they researched and reported the news for the people with integrity. Our first amendment right to free speech and freedom of the press as well as the right to ensure the government cannot select which God you must worship is what has separated this country from those others around the world. The fact that others around the world were willing to give all they owned to be here indicates the many blessings we seem to take for granted. But today we have lived in such times of good fortune all our lives that we have fooled ourselves that this country will always be what it has been for so long. We have disregarded our responsibility to ensure the integrity of our elected officials by either failing to vote for the proper candidate or failing to vote at all. By doing this we have allowed special interest groups, unions and political agenda machines to band together and corrupt our political process by placing their own hand picked pawns in office to do their own biding while disregarding the will of the people. Campaign financing has become nothing more than a legal policy for elected officials to be bought and paid for by those groups mentioned above. Now our own way of American life is almost completely unrecognizable due to the influx of Anti-American influence that is heaped on us daily through the bought and paid for national media propaganda machine. Our borders are unprotected and open to not only illegal aliens but also our worst enemies, yet our demands and concerns are met with the talking heads of the cult of political correctness about how insensitive or racist those of us that are concerned about national security are. On top of that, these elected officials not only refuse to enforce our constitutional laws, they apply them to foreign nationals and enemy combatants with the protections clearly only given to American citizens. These same elected officials both Republican and Democrat have outsourced American jobs and business while allowing China, and other known countries who have historically opposed our nation import their cheap and sometimes dangerous goods to our country instead of supporting American made products, jobs and citizens. We sit on oil reserves that have enough oil in them to last hundreds of years, yet our elected officials will not lift drilling moratoriums that would allow us to produce our own energy and instead enrich our very enemy countries that have been terrorizing our citizens for decades. Our own Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is promoting a known Islamic extremist television network, Al Jazeera who has supported terrorist such as Osama Bin Laden as a credible “Real News” network to operate on American cable companies. She is supporting the ability to have our own enemies to come directly into our living rooms in the English language with their vile hatred propaganda. This is beyond incredible, but yet our own national media propaganda machines sit silent. It is time that Americans not only awake from there stupor to see and understand the blatant takeover of this country by those who wish to separate us from our constitutional rights, but also to take a stand and actively oppose them all. The recent outcry from the Tea Party Movement has obviously not been heard. It is not time for a change we can believe in, but it is time instead for a change we can see and hear.

If God Forgave My Sins, Why Am I Still In Hell?



The bible tells us that God will forgive our sins if we confess them. If we do not confess and repent of our sins we go to hell. It is simple enough and just. I have no problems understanding this. I do however wonder if hell is more than a fiery destination for those who stubbornly or foolishly do not have remorse for their transgressions for others. Could it be possible that we live in a Hell just as real as the one we go to after life; only we experience it here inside our hearts while we are still in our physical earthly bodies? Yes, I think so. God forgives, this is fact I believe, but sometimes our sins cause irreversible pain that is not forgiven. Life is altered to a degree that will never be made whole and right again for those who are guilty and for those who are victims in some incidents. What happens when you are never released for your transgressions by those you trespassed against? I’ve heard that sin separates you from God and the relationship is broken until restored. What if a sin against another person cannot be restored? Doesn’t separation bring loneliness and loneliness brings pain? Isn’t pain Hell? It really makes me wonder how many degrees of Hell must be suffered for all those I have made unable to forgive.  Does it create a state of perpetual unhappiness? Hell. Will this be the only Hell for those God forgives?

Muzzling our Mouths


Since everyone is aware of what recently happened to Juan Williams employment with the National Public Radio I will not rehash the details. The bottom line to the whole story is the continuance of the radical and socialist left to muzzle the mouths of their political opposition by spreading fear throughout the land of exercising their 1st amendment right of free speech. This time they have chosen one of their own liberal mouthpieces to lay upon the sacrificial alter of political correctness, Juan Williams for the crime of speaking his true fears concerning Muslim’s who seek to murder American citizens. Juan admitted on NPR that he admits it makes him nervous while on an airliner to see members of this faith on the plain with him wearing Muslim garb. What normal and sane individual would not think back to September 11th 2001 when they notice a person dressed as a Muslim on the airplane with them? But Juan’s crime was voicing his true feelings. Why? Because it is politically incorrect to say anything that may offend certain members of a protected class of people which happens to be any minority group or off the wall radical religious group which is Anti-Christian in nature. Understand this was not only designed to punish Juan Williams but to instill fear into the hearts and minds of anyone who wishes to speak out against those protected under the umbrella of political correctness. It is designed to muzzle the mouths of those who refuse to have their own self thinking minds muted out of fear of losing their source of making a living. Well certainly if a liberal minded mouthpiece of the radical left can lose his job surely we could lose ours. The very first Amendment to the constitutions states

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Exactly what part of this constitutional amendment is so confusing that people believe they have the authority to take someone’s livelihood away from them for speaking their mind even if it offends another person? I have the right to like or dislike another person based on any reason or preference I should choose. I also have a constitutional right to speak out against the actions of my government or individuals and even religious groups that I do not agree with as long as I am peaceful while doing so. It is painfully clear to me that our government and various governmental networks are allowing free people to lose their rights when they speak out against something the government supports. It seems to me that our constitutional rights apply to everyone and everything but We the People and our freedom to exercise those rights. Our mouths are being muzzled for the purpose of keeping us quiet while they manage to separate us from the protections of our constitution. When that happens we become mere slaves to the wishes of our government. Will we go down in the history of this great nation as the people who allowed the constitution to become meaningless or will we go down in history as people who had a backbone and refused to be separated from our rights as free Americans?

The Encourager


There seems to be some real power that imparts from one person to another through encouragement. Sometimes it can greatly tip the scales in the favor of a person even when they do not realize it. I think some people were born with that special talent given by God just to keep those around them going. I read many books and have watched many films where someone is in a particular situation or crises and there always seems to be someone around at the right time to give a word of encouragement to the one most in need of it. Maybe a greenhorn in combat is given a slap on the back by his Sergeant and a small word that tells him he is doing good even when nothing good appears to be happening and that young greenhorn has his fear subside and replaced with confidence that helps him trust in his ability and training better. Or even the other night,  I was watching The South Carolina versus Kentucky game and saw the Old ball coach talking with one of his injured players and slap him on the shoulders to encourage him. I could not hear what was said but I could read it on the coach and player’s face. It will be okay! It seemed to me that the coach needed more encouragement at the moment than the injured player but I respected the fact that he took time out of his own predicament to encourage one of his players. I wonder if the player thought so or was he so discouraged by his injury that he didn’t notice? Sometimes as human beings we really do get caught up in despair and do not recognize the encouragements that we receive from that special someone who thinks enough of us to say something kind and get us moving along in the right direction when we are down by circumstances. Sometimes we realize much later when our source of encouragement is no longer around. What a sad feeling it is when you realize this later when you no longer have a cheerleader on the sidelines of your life. I have heard many biblical speculations on the subject of Eve being a helpmeet to Adam. I have heard it described as a domestic partner, a life partner that aids her husband with his every day needs. I think a helpmeet is really intended to be an encourager. The one who keeps you motivated and is there to push you on to be the best you can be within yourself.  I really think it is true I believe, when the statement is made that behind every good man is a great woman. Nothing replaces having someone to pick you up when you are feeling down or to motivate you when you feel you just can’t go on.

I Will Finish My Race


These last few months have been hard on me. I have been met with disappointments, shut out of relationships, and have struggled with growing dissatisfaction in my career. My health seems to have taken a remarkable or should I say noticeable decline. It seems at every corner I am faced with yet another dead end in this rat maze we call circumstances of life. I become outraged when I pay close attention to the direction my beloved country has taken and do not understand why so many people choose the leaders of such poor character that we have in the highest positions. I see people I care deeply about making terrible decisions in their lives that are bound to bring them misery yet I cannot do anything about it. I constantly worry over things that are out of my sphere of control yet I ponder on it as if by sheer will I can create the change I desire. I struggle with myself to improve in many areas of my own life but find myself deeper in self anger when I do not achieve my goals. Speaking of anger, I find that my level of tolerance in both large things and small have been lowered to a point that I show my anger that normally I would keep inside. I seem to have a short fuse that sometimes I even enjoy when it is lit and the anger is released. There are so many things left that I desire to do and have but cannot cross over the mountains in my way. When I feel I am making headway something always pops up unexpected to set me back a pace or two. But one thing I do have that burns deep inside of me like the white coals beneath a fire is a drive to push forward and meet these challenges head on. I sometimes have to dig deep into my soul to bring that part of me up to the surface but it is there ever present. I am unafraid but for one thing and that is to not succeed before the sands in the hour glass of my life has run out. I see myself in my minds eye as reaching my goals and grabbing on to the dreams of my heart. It is an inner struggle that battles within me between the desire in my heart and the troubles of circumstance that fall in my way. But I will hold on, push on until I find my way. I will not give up on my life and the purpose that I have been placed here to achieve. I will not let others hold me back because of what I am and who I am. I will not give up on my great country and allow it to slip from greatness nor will I allow myself to slip from the high marks I have set for myself. I will overcome and run my race to the end. I will finish my race.

America Dividing into Good versus Evil


I remember when I was young during the Vietnam era and beyond we were constantly warned of the evil of communism, Anti-Christian beliefs and the overall bad in the world and the dangers of allowing it to grow. I remember watching a film at church that depicted what it would be like in America if communism took over. How the government would treat the people as if they were slaves, torture and control them. How this would usher in the coming of the Anti-Christ and the mark of the beast. It scared me to death being an eight to ten year old boy trying to wrap this image around my brain. I remember hearing uncles and neighbors, the older men of the day who actually fought in World War II rebuke the Hippies and Anti-war crowd calling them all manners of names filled with disrespect and contempt. Of course, I thought at that time a Hippie was someone who wore long hair and didn’t bathe much so I kept that as a mental image. Those older men I admired would tell stories of these Hippies being draft dodgers and cowards or simply communist. I had no idea what these words really meant other than I thought they didn’t love America and would rather protest the war than to fight in it. I also remember myself fantasizing about being a soldier fighting in Vietnam along side the Army and Marines. In my little heart then I felt I had the courage to fight for my country. I remember trying to understand some of these concepts that preachers would warn about how the world was becoming evil and that one day the bible would be illegal to read or own. They would always say that Christians would have to go underground to worship God in America one day. In my little simple mind I would always think of how we would have to dig tunnels underground to have church and worship. I didn’t understand the wording used but I understood well what they were saying meant that if you believed in God you would be in danger and would have to hide to worship. Now that I am 43 years old, I often find myself thinking that America and its people have lost sight of God and his principles and the love of country that I once knew. Do I pretend to be perfect? By no means am I saying that, I can be a champion sinner at times. But even when I sin I know what I am doing is wrong. I possess the ability to know wrong from right. Over the course of my life so far I have watched this countries government turn from a very patriotic body of leaders into government that detests personal liberties and the history of greatness this country has been to the world. I remember distinctly when I was younger and President Ronald Reagan would be on the television everyone stopped what they were doing to listing to his words. He was the President and he was respected. Now, when I see our current president on the television I either listen to hear what the latest trick our government is pulling on the American people or I switch channels to watch something more productive such as a ball game. Now our president travels the world wide to apologize and put down our great country. What a tremendous disgrace and appalling difference between the two. I also pay attention to the constant attacks on Christianity as this nation seems to be in a nightmare love affair with any and every religion that opposes Christianity, especially that of Islam. We are at war we this fanatical murderous cult and yet our own government will not recognize them as evil and downplays their atrocious murderous ways. I also see where our courts are under legal attack with continuous assaults on the freedoms of Americans to worship as Christians and the bible being removed further and further from public view. What is alarming is how many people in this country now hate this country that is a gift from God to all of us who were blessed enough to be born here. I also see how many people who claim Christianity and vote for those in government who try to remove Christianity away from us. How can this be possible? The people who shout blessed is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then turn around and vote for a candidate of the party that is trying to kill Christianity and have it removed from our lives. I see the warnings of my youth coming to pass everyday. What they were trying to warn us about is happening and most of us deny this.  No, our country has not been taking over by another country like I envisioned it with soldiers parachuting from the sky, but as political enemies of America being voted into office by Americans themselves. The evil and Anti-American crowd simply walked inside upon the invitation of the American people without force. What I see is that what we were warned about as kids is already taking place. I see a great divide taking place in this country that does not run along party lines. I see the great division taking place and forming two groups of Americans. I see these two groups of people as the Good versus the Evil and I wonder sometimes if all the people even realize this is happening. As for me, I will be on the side of good until the end.

Why Re-Elect Pickpocket Politicians?


At this time and age we currently live in with our economy in dire straits we look to our leaders foolishly for an answer to the questions we have about our present circumstances, as incredible as that may sound to those of us who understand that it is because of the terrible decisions of our leaders past and our leaders present that we find ourselves in such tremendous economical troubles. How is it possible that we continuously overlook this simple fact, forgive it and repeat our same very mistakes? Do we not find ourselves in a more precarious financial situation than we did the last every time? As we find ourselves burdened by a national debt that could never be paid within our lifetime we are currently at higher levels of unemployment and more and more people shifting from the unemployed into the roles of welfare recipients. How does our current government take action on these facts? They go on a spending spree of billions upon billions of taxpayers dollars and spend it on useless or unproven programs that our country has nothing to show for it in return. Our government railroads its citizens with the take over of the world’s best, yet expensive health care system and turns it into a money gobbling monster that will surely ruin us financially. At every move the president proposes or enacts legislation to take more money from the pockets of the middle class working person and throw it at a program or individuals that do absolutely nothing to deserve the lottery sized windfall while the working class families struggle to make ends meet on their ever decreasing salaries. Do those who have made a career riding on free parking, collecting welfare checks ever see a decrease in their monthly cash handouts? Why of course not! The working family has to work more hours or take on additional part time work to cover the short fall of income caused by heavy and unfair taxation and inflation due to the falling value of the American dollar. The middle class taxpayer must work to the satisfaction of his employer lest he or she be fired and lose their job, but where is the requirement of the welfare recipient to perform or produce in exchange for the unearned monies they collect? A working family of the middle class is considered fortunate if they have family insurance coverage in the event that they become ill and need medical treatment whether they must pay co-pay at the doctor’s office or come up with extra money for treatments not covered along with very expensive pharmaceuticals required to make someone become healthy again. If one on public assistance becomes ill they are treated and provided medications at the cost of taxpayers, again, for nothing of value given in return. Why in such times as these when the taxpayer must face higher taxes and lower wages, should those on public assistance not receive less as well? I believe in the golden rule myself. I believe we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us! But does this golden rule not apply to them as well? As for our politicians who have put us in this position, including those who choose to be ward’s of the state, why would anyone in their right mind return them back into office to do only more of the same at a higher cost the next go around? The only difference we will ever see from allowing more of the same will be to see less take home pay on our checks. How much more can you afford to be stolen from the fruits of your labor until you find it more beneficial to stop work and reach out your own hand to the government?

BHO’s Stance on National Defense is Simply Gay


Apparently, transparent has a whole new meaning with this Administration from the multi-faceted centrist leaning Barrack Hussein Obama we met during the presidential campaign. Needless to say this Messiah cannot walk on water despite his own greatest desires. As the rest of his followers who have not awaken to the fact that he is not the great Messiah, many have abandoned him in droves as the fake and liar that he is continually becomes apparent to those who are no longer in his sleep provoked stupor on a daily basis. Our national security continues to be America’s largest liability as the Democratic Party continues to play politically correct games with the issues concerning the safety of our country in a world filled with threats as our son’s and daughter’s continue to fight on the ground in Afghanistan without the full support of the  United States government. Recently a $726 Billion dollar defense spending policy bill which included pay raises for the military personnel also included repeal for the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” law slipped in the bill which is a ban against openly gay personnel serving in the military. I find it to be disgraceful at the very least that funding of our troops and military during two wars would be politicized by this Administration and the far left fringe of the Democratic Party, but I do not find it surprising. It seems this Administration led by our president has managed to choose the wrong path on every issue that pertains to our national defense in what appears to be more of sabotage than sincere error from an inexperienced man trying to govern the people in the role as president of our country. Countless maneuvers such as the refusal of the securing of our borders, suing the State of Arizona who in dire straights has taken on the responsibility to do it themselves, the consistent gutting of our military, the trying of enemy combatants in civil courts and giving our enemy constitutional rights reserved for Americans, The attempts to close Guantamino Bay, the refusal or inability of our president to deal with the nuclear missile crisis of Iran and the refusal of this Administration to support our ally in Israel. I could bore you by listing so much more but I know that you are quite aware of all of these things which undermine our great country as I am. There seems to be one silver lining on our horizon which is the elections of November 2010. It seems that the responsibility of the defense of our country and its national defense will be in our own hands when we walk into the voter booth at that time and rid ourselves of the enemy who occupies Washington. I hope before now and then that more Americans wake up from this nightmare of a dream so many have fallen under and we can once again become a great nation led by true Americans. Saddle up!

Football and Faith


Sometimes I can be in an unusually great mood and all is good in the world and then do something without much thought that maybe I shouldn’t have done in retrospect. Something that I assumed would be good with the best intentions but ends up making me look foolish or becomes embarrassing unexpectedly. I seem to be overly gifted with this ability to go off half cocked sometimes and it frustrates me to no end. I did this again today. What I did was unimportant but only to myself. I doubt it hurt anyone but maybe my own pride. The rest of the day went on smoothly enough and happy enough but still inside I felt like what I had done was a mistake and just simply an embarrassment. I kept this on my mind throughout the rest of the afternoon and it began to grow inside me to the point that I was not embarrassed anymore but angry with myself and causing me to question myself about why I do the things I do. I wonder why I place myself into situations like that. I wonder if it is a weakness or just spontaneous decisions that are not thought over properly. It makes me question how bright I am sometimes. Anyway, later in the evening I started feeling down about it. Really, it was nothing to even worry over other than self pride. I still allowed it to flow through my mind as I finally begun to wind down and let the excitement of watching my favorite college football team which was about to start. The Auburn Tigers were going to play the Clemson Tigers which for whatever reason I have always liked since I was a child. It was a big game in which I had been concerned about since the start of the season. Auburn was favored by 7.5 points. That bothered me also because I felt it was a sucker bet by Las Vegas to make some cash off of the Auburn Tiger’s loss to Clemson. Last week I had told a friend we would lose to Clemson by a touchdown and I believed I picked the score to be 28 to 21. I just didn’t think Auburn could handle their passing game. Immediately as the game started I continued to feel down and my team just looked horrible. Clemson smashed through Auburn’s defense like a pro football club would against an average high school team. My mood did not improve. It is a fact that the state where I reside college football is more passionate and some say more important than religion. Don’t believe it? Take a trip down south and see for yourself. Alabama Crimson Tide had already destroyed the Duke Blue Devil’s a few hours earlier by the score of 62 to 13 so the whole state gathered to watch the Auburn game on ESPN to either pull for Auburn or pull against them by proxy of Clemson. I said all that to illustrate how a football game can either improve your mood or cause you to become very angry. It is sort of like drinking whiskey, it is either good whiskey or bad and you will either be a happy drunk or a fighting drunk after drinking it. Well I felt down already and I became angry with the pathetic showing of my Auburn Tigers who in all actuality, in terms of playing football did not show up. I continued thinking of what was on my mind that day and Auburn was laying down like an old whore to Clemson. Before I realized it Clemson scored yet another touchdown making it a 17 to 0 deficit just before the half. This was going to be a blow out. At right about that time I began to question myself about what in the world I was getting so upset over. Why am I always beating myself up over such inconsequential things which occur in my life whether they are my own fault or not? My attitude began to change. I was feeling sick at myself for allowing myself to feel so angry about circumstances. I assured myself no one else had me in mind so deeply. Nobody else seemed to notice my self embarrassing moments in life at the level of interest and condemnation as I did. I started feeling better immediately. I started feeling my mood change. My son was laying on the couch playing with our cat and I decided to engage in some conversation with him as Auburn began driving down the field. I said to him “Auburn is going to get their butts kicked aren’t they?” Now granted that kids possess a whole lot more faith than life weary adults do but I was still surprised when my son answered “No Dad, Auburn is going to win!” as he turned to look me in the face. I know I had an incredulous look on my own face and he just looked away and mumbled something about having a little faith in Auburn, or maybe he mumbled something about his dad acting like he looked on edge to the point of throwing the television through the living room window, but I’m sure he said something positive. Well it wasn’t long after that and Auburn, unable to continue their final drive of the half lined up to kick a field goal. The score was now Clemson 17 and finally, Auburn 3. I sent my daughter who lives on the East Coast a text to inform her of Auburn’s brush with good luck fortunate enough to get on the score board. I also checked face book to read the constant chatter there of Auburn’s demise by the Tide fans. It sure didn’t look good. I looked at the score on the screen and started thinking absurd thoughts that Auburn was only down by 14 points as they interviewed the coaches, and that it could be possible for Auburn to get back into this game. Well the chatter on face book was not agreeable but the hope began to build inside me for my team to end the embarrassment. I started thinking about some of the great comebacks the Auburn Tiger’s had achieved in all the years I’ve followed them. I also started thinking that it might not be such a bad idea to work towards a comeback from an otherwise not so great day. Why not? Everyone is healthy as they should be and things really aren’t going so bad in my life. I wondered again why I allow myself to get so down over minor and unpleasant things. I am really getting tired of it and want to beat these feelings inside me that make me look forward to disappointments when I should be looking forward to a great life full of life itself. I began to feel ashamed of myself for feeling so weak and ungrateful. After an unexpected visit from some neighbor’s down the street that are very nice, the halftime break was coming to an end and the game resumed. I read a message on face book from a former teacher of my youngest daughter who was quite displeased with the performance of Auburn and I typed a response to her reminding her that this wasn’t Auburn’s first rodeo and how Auburn had come back from 4 touchdowns down against LSU once to win the game. It was a short message of hope and I was risking ridicule from the Bamer’s on face book at the time enjoying Clemson’s dismantling of Auburn, but it also felt good to put a little hope and confidence out there. I thought of how the young Auburn kid’s must be feeling at the moment, how whipped and embarrassed they felt as this underdog team from South Carolina came into their own house and pushed them around. It is real easy when your feeling low from stumbling and throwing interceptions and collecting penalties from mistakes and nothing seems to work or go right, real easy indeed to just give up. The Auburn kid’s chose the opposite despite taken some of the hardest hits in college football and having so many points to catch up just to get back in the game. These young men looked inside themselves and asked themselves if this was the best that they could do. They answered no to that question and dug deep inside themselves just to see how much metal they had in them as sportsmen and later it became obvious to them that they had plenty. Auburn stormed back onto the field and continued to have a few set backs but charged back to score 24 unanswered points against these Tigers from Clemson. The game became even more physical with numerous injuries to players on each team from brutal hard hitting play. The camera zoomed in once to the Clemson Quarterback who was injured earlier and was literally holding on to another fellow player to continue standing on his own feet. The game ended regulation play tied at the score of 24 to 24. Sudden Death overtime rules were in effect and Clemson won the toss to choose offense or defense and field position. Clemson chose to defend. Auburn sputtered once again unable to penetrate the Clemson defense but kicked a field goal to take the lead at 27 to 24. Clemson drove the ball within striking distance of scoring a touchdown when the Quarterback threw to the end zone and the ball struck the receiver in the hands and the ball fell to the turf inches within being a perfect catch. Clemson lined up and kicked a perfect field goal to tie the game in overtime but flags were thrown on the field of play. A penalty against Auburn would almost surely guarantee a Clemson win but Clemson’s center had lifted the ball and placed it back to the ground drawing a penalty that required them to back up and kick again. When the ball was kicked it faded away just left of the goal post clinching a win for Auburn when all looked bleak and un-winnable just moments before. Auburn ended the game in victory when all hope seemed impossible. The Auburn Tigers were favored to win this game but Clemson had other plans and played their hearts out for a big upset to end a thirteen game losing streak against Auburn and they played in outstanding fashion. The Auburn Tigers had to look deep inside their hearts while they were down by 17 points embarrassed in their own stadium and choose to change their attitudes and instead of allowing defeat to swallow them they chose to be victors. During this game I also looked inside myself and saw something I did not like and chose to change it because I was capable of choosing how I felt. I have the choice to allow other people or circumstances to bring me down or to overlook other’s actions and my own self ridicule and move on to be the best I can be myself and allow for mistakes and foul ups without losing hope in myself. I may also be victorious if I choose faith.

Finding the Source of Pain in Hurting People


Lately it seems I have met a lot of hurting people. People that carry with them pain as if it were an accessory like a wallet in their pocket or a keychain in their hand. I describe it in that manner because it is usually something not spoken about very often and hard to see unless you are aware of it or familiar with such pain. Hurting people become experts at hiding or camouflaging their pain. Sometimes it is obvious in those who exhibit serious withdrawal from others and other signs of depression. But in many the pain swims deep within the mind and soul unseen by others. Sometimes it can be exhibited in other forms of behavior such as humor. I had always heard that most of our funniest comics suffered serious manic depression. The comedy expressed by a comedian being an outlet for their pain or even a form of medication to ease the pain. I am sure that is not the case with all of them but it makes me wonder sometimes if our greatest comics suffered the deepest pain. Other forms of expressing pain are not so pleasing to others such as the bully or the person who cannot get along with other’s well who starts fights or keeps chaos running amuck with those in their lives. It would seem that these types of people prefer to release their pain by transferring pain to others. I have always taken to heart that old saying that misery loves company. Well in some cases this is very true. There are also ones that desire to translate their pain into being destructive whether by being physically abusive, sexually abusive, mentally abusive or even destructive with co-workers by creating sabotage within the workplace or at a specific employee for a perceived wrong whether it occurred in reality or not. Ever noticed the ones that seem to be mad at the whole world or feel the whole world is out to get them? It could be that these types of people had no anchor of trust in someone such as parents that were not there to support them as a child, or absent during their childhood development, leaving them to handle adversity on their own with no one to stand by them in times of trouble or disappointments. I have a unique career which has exposed me to many forms of personal pain in others. There are times I can see it and use it to my advantage quickly to ascertain the actual problem. But to really know the source of the pain only the one experiencing it can explain it. It can be multiple sources of pain and hurt that is deep inside their soul and psyche. The one suffering the pain from others or loss can be the only person that can tap into it and study the issues within to find an answer that will allow healing. That person can only do this when they are ready and able to face what they fear the most. That could possibly be the most frightening aspect of finding healing when you decide to challenge the demons within that torture. Finding healing will never be possible without that confrontation and then the real battle begins.

Our National Debt; The Madness Must End


I admit that I am not the best at keeping up with personal financial matters. I am not very thrifty with our money. So this task has always been my wife’s responsibility and she has always done the best possible job of it even when the best wasn’t good enough. When we were married I was making after all Federal, State and local taxes a grand total of $127.00, working for the Golden Flake Potato Chip Company driving a truck. I loved that job but was only working as a part time status employee working 39 ours a week. We had an apartment in the Centerpoint area and we were very happy but the money just was not there. Not having money was not unusual because we both grew up very poor but that didn’t matter because we knew nothing different. So anyway it was long before we realized that our income was very low and there were just things we could not afford to buy. We made a rule that we have followed to the present time which was that no matter what we would pay our rent to have a roof over our head and we would always have enough food to eat. All else fell in the order of priority. This system always worked but we had other rules. If there was not enough money coming in I was to work another job in order to create more income. I never left a job until I had a job opening for me. I never quit working to wait for something better to come along and I never under any circumstances left a job to go to another without the new job paying more in salary or per hour. Even when I started my own business I always worked a second job at night to supplement the loss of income during the winter months. My wife also went to work when things got rough. I can’t tell you how many sorry waitress jobs she worked for lousy tips to help us make ends meet. Before too long we had a new member of the family to support which really brought us an underestimated financial struggle. Most parents understand this. So we always tried to make the right and best decisions but we still failed at times and made poor choices such as buying a new vehicle which was murder on the budget instead of settling for a reliable used one at a fraction of the cost. We took vacations when we could not afford them and other such expenses when it would have been better not to but over all we tried to live within our means but it never seemed to be enough although we worked hard. And yes, sometimes we had to go for help during periods of crises to borrow some money. But over all we never went out too far on a limb. We just learned to adjust the best we could with what we had. We still do. What I do not understand is how our federal government never applies these or similar rules to their own methods of finances. We have always had Administrations in charge of this country that controlled the national debt in a roller coaster fashion. The present Administration is a new breed of politicians who have no understanding of handling finances at all. The Obama Administration inherited a National debt in crises and immediately does the opposite of what most sane and mature people would do with their own finances. What do they decide to do? They start spending money that exceeds most imaginable worst case scenarios over and over accumulating an additional 3 trillion dollars in debt that will never be paid off. They do not stop there but keep spending in a madness of irresponsibility that will ensure the children’s children of this country will be burdened down in debt an unable to function in a prudent manner. Knowing this and also knowing that this country is flat broke they decide to print more money to cover the cost of their spending addiction driving down the value of the dollar. They do all of this during a recession the worst since the great depression and unemployment reaching record numbers. Still, they extend unemployment benefits making sure those without work has the incentive to remain out of work. They also propose to take over the best health care system in the world with a plan that in its self will bankrupt the country on its own. This administration seizes every opportunity to take advantage of whatever crises this country is under to spend the tax payer money as a lottery. The Stimulus bill as an example was nothing more than the redistribution of hard earned wealth by the countries working people to those who squandered the money with nothing to show for it. And again Obama has the gall to propose yet another stimulus bill as if the other was a resounding success and most sickening of all is the support he gets from his liberal counterparts in the Democratic Party that go along with this criminal madness of this administration who is suppose to be the Stewards of our money. You would think after such gross failures of this imagination that Obama’s personal approval polling would be as low as congress but it remains in the lower 40s as if the people of this country are still under the spell of Obama being the Messiah who came to save us all. What fools? Either this man has no experience in balancing his own checkbook or he is the worst saboteur in the history of this country. The madness must end.

Her Family Would All Be There


She walked down the side street pausing to look at the items for sale along the merchant’s row. The wind blew her hair from under her headscarf and she absentmindedly tucked it back in place as her eyes flitted from this product to that. She could smell the sweet smell of bread that has been recently taken from the ovens and placed too cool in the open window. The aroma carried by the puffs of wind that brushed coolly across her face reminded her of her birthday just a few weeks away where her family would gather with food and wine to celebrate her special day as they had so many times before. The happy thought chilled her with excitement and goose bumps she could feel rise from her skin. She hurried along now to the market for her shopping errands for her mother had been delayed long enough. She weaved effortlessly between those who walked from every direction on the busy street. She crossed over the street to the market when she heard a vehicle screech to a quick stop behind her kicking up a cloud of dust. She saw the truck with several men with rifles that were jumping down from the carrier portion of the vehicle. Immediately she became frightened from times before when she had witnessed arrests on the street but she pointed her head back in the direction she was walking deciding she had seen enough to alarm her already. She remembered that her mother had told her that she…a hand tightened around her arm at the elbow and she felt her body being pulled behind her causing her to lose her balance when her other arm was grasped as she let out a scream and then shouted “Let me go! What are you doing to me? She lifted her eyes and shook the hair away from them that had fallen again out of her head covering to see that this was a soldier who had laid hands on her. Again, she shouted “Why are you touching me? Set me free! She began to resist the hold of the two men whom had captured her. She was dragged without an answer to the truck and forcefully placed inside it. She felt hot tears rolling down her face and felt many emotions of fear, embarrassment and shame from the treatment she was receiving. She began again to protest but felt a quick sharp pain across her face and the dizziness that accompanied it before she realized she had been slapped hard by the soldier whom sat next to her by the vehicles door. She felt the bumping of the tires on the road and the surge of her body movements as the truck took many turns towards a destination that was unknown to her. She began to feel deep fear in the pit of her stomach as she cried out for her Papa under her breath that was quick and broken with her softly crying sobs. As quickly as her trip began it ended next to the roadway entrance to the Mosque where a crown of people had gathered. Her heart jumped when she saw amongst the throng her uncle, her Mothers brother and several other family members she recognized before again hands were pulling on her and dragging her out of the truck but hope had entered her heart since she had seen Raja in her midst. Loud shouting occurred instantly as she felt the warmth of the sun while being dragged from the street to the common area before the Mosque. Words, she understood a few of the words which were being shouted as she herself screamed “Uncle, Uncle Raja help me Uncle!” She heard the names being shouted at her, Whore, unclean, sinner, defiled. Again, she felt another hard pain with dizziness and the taste of blood in her mouth and upon her lips. She could feel a tooth jutting inward against her tongue. She wept loudly now as she knew her tooth was broken and her lips split open. Blood and saliva dripped freely from her open mouth as she gasped for air to fill her burning lungs. She felt herself being bound by rope around her shoulders then the pain from her behind as she was set forcefully upon the sand. Raja, Papa! She shouted as she lifted her eyes and saw other members of her family and her breath caught as she noticed her mother clutching at the Imam begging him for mercy for her only daughter. She felt her blood run cold with horror as she finally understood what was taking place. Quickly her breath that was being held blew outward with her as she exhaled carrying a stream of blood from her mouth that was caught on the wind and carried behind her. She sat with eyes wide open as men grabbed her yet again and pulled her to a deep hole which had previously been dug in the sand. She continued to watch her mother plead but could no longer hear supplications or the loud jeer of those who walked in her midst as they collected stones from the ground. She turned her head and again saw Raja, her uncle whom reached down himself to collect a rock she would soon feel crash against her body thrown from his hands. She recalled at just that moment the times of laughter, the games she played with him, climbing his back to ride like a Donkey near her home. She felt her feet and legs descend into the narrow hole. Sand and dirt was being tossed from shovels around her body into the hole. She breathed deeply and inhaled sand which caused her to have a fit of coughing. The breathing at once became labored as the sand around her stomach was pressing against her stomach. She tried to see through the tossed sand for another glimpse of her mother but could no longer find her. Was she disoriented? Did they carry her mother away? She had these thoughts as she struggled to suck air into her lungs to scream for her Papa and Mama but not enough air to strengthen her lungs to shout. Her lips moved as she again could hear but only loud noises of screams and shouts. She no longer listened for words. There would be no words to comfort her as she….the pain was blinding as she felt her head thrown backwards from the impact of a heavy stone and her head bounced forward again as her breast was struck, again her head was hit this time from the side with a smaller stone. She felt the hot stream of blood trickle somewhere below her once beautiful hair as pain exploded upon her shoulder. Her eyes pressed tightly as multiples of rocks struck her head, back, shoulder, ribs and neck, each bringing brilliant bursts of pain. She felt more teeth inside her mouth as she tried to spit them out but instead swallowed them. She felt very sleepy and the pain didn’t seem to feel as strongly before. She only felt Just the jolting of her body being moved by the impact of the stones, so many stones. She felt the coolness of the wind again this time caused by the wetness of her bloody face and her thoughts again turned to her Birthday. It will only be a few weeks away…family will…all…be..there….

I heard this story of a young teenaged woman who was accused of a moral crime under the Islamic Sharia Law in which she was not given a trial nor did she have the right to face her accusers or even to beg mercy from the Imam who condemned her. Members of her family participated in this brutal and torturous execution. The above account is only from my own imagination but sadly executions of women in the Muslim world take place in like manner as this story illustrates.

Rage From the Past



I was talking with a friend today about words and they’re meanings. It reminded me of a time when I was a kid, a newly fatherless kid. I was outside of my home and one of the neighbor men called me a Bastard. I had never heard this word before. I was probably 7 or 8 years old at the time and I remember being intrigued by the word. It was unfamiliar and I couldn’t tell what it meant by the way the man had spoken it to me. I went inside the house and went to my mother’s room to ask her what the word Bastard meant. My mother asked me where I heard that word from and I told her about the neighbor calling me one. My mother started crying. It really upset her and she did not tell me what the word meant so I went to look it up in the dictionary and read the definition. I knew that my mom and dad had me while they were married so I knew that I was not a Bastard and really didn’t understand why that word had upset her so badly until later on in life. What I learned was that by calling me a Bastard was no big deal to me but that it was a very big deal to an honorable Widow with small children to raise on her own. As I told my friend today, it planted a seed of rage within me and I never forgot this occurrence. As I got older it became obvious to me how cruel some people are without cause or reason. Even later in life it dawned upon me how cowardly some people can be when there is no fear of the man of the house coming to look for them to punish their cheap and cowardly acts of dishonor. I had many such acts as these to take place in the church where I grew up in, schools and as mentioned before in the neighborhood. I wonder now how many times my brothers may have experienced being taken advantage of when there was no father to defend them. I often thought of this throughout my teen years and into my adult life and could always feel the burn of rage inside me, the desire to exact revenge against someone for their trespasses against me, the child of so many years before. As a kid I would fantasize about my father being alive and going to them and whipping their tails. As an adult sometimes I would fantasize about going back into time as the adult me and catching these persons tormenting me and beating them within an inch of their lives. Somehow these thoughts relieved a little tension but they never caused the rage inside to dissipate. I have always carried that rage with me and at times have allowed it to overreact to situations that caused me to lose my temper. I would later in life learn to try to forgive such deeds that happened long ago and even say that I have forgiven those people but deep inside I still feel the anger. I have done a better job of dealing with these issues over the last many years and know how to contain my anger inside me without it spilling over and becoming out of control. I have become a much more tolerant person than I was years before as well. I still have to deal with being overly sensitive in a few aspects but each of us has their own touchy points and hot buttons that can set them off. I also have the ability to recognize deep rage and anger in others and I can be very sympathetic with someone who suffers deep pain from their past. I try to remind myself that we as people sometimes bottle up and carry with us pain and rage that has boiled within us for years from poor treatment or trespasses in our younger years. Still though, I look forward to the day that the rage that lives deep inside will die and leave my body and mind. It really is amazing how a single word can cause someone to recall such unpleasant experiences from somewhere in our past.

The Fighting Spirit


Last night I went to Church only at a friend’s invitation but it ended up being a very interesting sermon on finishing well. They had a guest speaker from Kenya that spoke of spiritual warfare that is taking place in the continent of Africa and the world over. He spoke of how regardless of what the media reports and popular opinion, 80% of Africans practice Christianity and the religious battles there are between the Muslims which are 6% of the population against the Christians. I was very surprised by the statistics that this Missionary gave and the stories he related about his homeland. He wore a white button up dress shirt with his national flag embroidered on it in several places down one sleeve. But this man spoke powerfully about what he believed and about how we should be finishers of our faith, not quitters. He made a statement about how the 6% of Muslims in his Continent made a lot of noise because they were so few in numbers. He stated that we as Christians should be the ones who make a lot of noise and speak of our Christianity in the same manner. He also made a statement that in Africa the Christians had pledged to the Muslims that if they burned down one of their churches they would burn down ten Muslim Mosques. He also stated that if they killed One Christian they in turn would kill 100 Muslims. The Missionary stated clearly that he didn’t say what they were doing was right. But clearly he did not condemn it either. He continued on with his sermon with one of the points being that we as Christians, in order to finish in our faith well must have a fighting spirit. They we should be willing to fight for what is ours and to not surrender it. It brings to mind a part in me that wonders why world wide we allow these radical Muslims to rejoice in their supposed victories of cowardly murder against defenseless and innocent people instead of fighting back in the same rational of the Africans. I like their concept. You not only pay an eye for an eye, you pay much more for your cowardly acts of terrorism. That is a fighting spirit indeed. But instead, in particularly in the United States we have been so conditioned by our mealy mouthed weak spine politicians who can stray no further with their words, much less actions than the boundaries of political correctness to even suggest having a fighting spirit. It disgusts me how their only answer to Muslim extremism and their murderous acts is that this religion is a peaceful religion. Well tell that to all the victims who has lost a family member or friend to this peaceful religion. It boggles the mind that they do not understand that these people will never stop their acts of atrocity world wide because they do have a fighting spirit along with the belief that all non believing people should perish. It would do us good to have the same fighting spirit with the only difference being common sense. Common sense would tell you that if your family is under attack the family should unite to defend the family at all cost. Our country and those of us as Christians should do they same. Unite and fight back against those who wish to destroy us. What good is your citizenship or faith if you are not willing to fight and defend it at the cost of your life?

Liberal Do Gooder’s Create Far More Hate than They Do Tolerance


Liberal do Gooder’s create far more hate than they do tolerance. Every liberal group in the United States pushes an issue onto Americans to the point that the average Joe feels the need to vomit. Take for instance the Muslim religion. Liberals are highly offended by the fact that most non-Muslims do not care for the Muslim faith due to the atrocities committed against innocent people world wide and especially here in our own country. What made the matter worse and has turned a strong opinion against the religion is the continuous brow beating from the main stream media and accusations of intolerance and racism hurled their way. When enough is enough, by God it is enough! Regardless of the Elitist opinions, the average American is intelligent and able to arrive at conclusions on their own accord. There is still free speech in this country even after so many assaults on it as well as the freedom of thought. If I do not like you, I have that right. The Liberal left and its own personal national media condemns the practice of freedom of thought and freedom of speech. The Democratic Party has embraced this concept as another tool in their political correctness playbook. They are trying to limit the American people not only by their liberties of free speech, but of thought and conscience. They have legislated “Hate Crimes” punishment, which is of course only a bonus punishment for those convicted of crimes already on the books. I have news for you. All crime is hate crime. If you commit a crime against someone you surely don’t love them do you? So in essence if a crime is deemed a hate crime and you are convicted of it you pay a higher penalty for the crime than anyone else does. Is that justice? No! It only lowers the value of every other victim of that crime. Back on the subject, The Gay community advertised by our far left liberal media has turned more people against the gay community than ever before. Most people could not care less what goes on behind an adults bedroom doors but the issue being constantly drummed in the ears of Americans that they no longer even want to hear from the gay community about their issues. Even California of all states voted against gay marriage in their state although one of their judges ruled against the will of the people. I tell you they are sick of hearing about it. The issue of Racism has increased since the election of Barrack Obama racial tension has been higher than in recent years. The Democrats with the voice of the radical left media has targeted and practiced character assassination against any one individual or group, say for instance, the Tea Party by slamming down the race card and accusing them of racism just because they don’t like Barrack Obama and they say it is because he is the first African-American President. Again, the American people are far more intelligent than the ruling class elite and know better. President Barrack Obama is half white and half black. He is just as much as white as he is black. Further more, it isn’t about skin color or race. Americans believe he and the Liberal Democrats are taking this country down the wrong path and ruining our economy instead of improving upon it. But the accusations do not stop and this racial tension is creating more hatred from both sides instead of creating unity between blacks and whites. Illegal Aliens has been a hot button issue since the health care debate began. The American people are jumping mad about the policies which they believe will increase both the number of Illegal Aliens entering our country and the cost to support them with health care and education among other concerns. What does the radical left media do? They hammer down on more accusations of racism to the point most all Americans no longer tolerate the Illegal Aliens in this country. They are creating hatred between both the Americans and the Illegal Aliens. Our President goes against the will of the people again and sues the state of Arizona to prevent them from protecting their state from the out of control porous border and influx of millions of Illegal Aliens through their state. Is hate the game plan that the Democrats and national media are playing? If it is they are doing a fine job of creating more hate than they are of spreading tolerance.
