Mankind’s Global Warming Superciliousness

 

            We can travel to the stars, create and grow human life in test tubes and apparently, now we can alter the earth’s cycle of life.

So are we gods, or just arrogant wannabe’s?

            If you asked every man, woman and child on the planet to jump up and down at the same time, could we alter the earth’s alignment in our solar system, or even make the earth shake from the effort.

I seriously doubt it. In the great scheme of things, mankind is but a twig floating amidst a vast ocean.

Yet we are to believe that we have the power to cause the earth to go through a massive warming due to our carbon emissions, that very thing each of us exile every time we take a breath. It is said that since the onset of mankind’s industrialization, carbon emissions have risen 40% and are supposedly a danger to our very existence. It is believed that the globe will warm to the point, where the ice caps will melt and the seas will rise, Polar Bears will die off in abundant amounts, and mankind will be the blame.

Well, I should be thankful for the White Christmas I had in Texas this year, and the rest of the world should be grateful as well for the record cold temperatures so abundant throughout.

Well, there is no doubt that global warming is possible, after all, our planet has frozen over several times and it would have had to have some level of global warming in order to produce the life it eventual produced…

…like you and me.

Unbelievably, it did all of this cooling and warming before the idea of a machine, which emits carbon dioxide, ever existed. Or for that matter, before mankind ever inhaled oxygen and exiled carbon dioxide.

And believe it or not, it went through these extreme warming and cooling periods, all by itself.

How arrogant is it, that so many people believe that mankind is so powerful, as to affect the laws of nature? With our astonishing accomplishments throughout our history, we have achieved so many great things, we have moved from living in caves, to shinning mansions sitting atop the highest hills. We have walked on the surface of our own moon and cured some of the most harmful diseases plaguing mankind…

…however…

The trial and error it took to accomplishing these great things would have never come about, had the first person to test fire a rocket said that his idea was the end of the debate and insisted that we strap that rocket onto a ship and shoot men to the moon. Or had the first person to attempt to create a cure for Polio said that his concoction was the end of the debate and that we should insist that everyone get vaccinated with his remedy.

No one in their right mind would ever say that the globe is perhaps, not warming, not if they have read a book or listened to their teachers in school. But to blame mankind for something that the earth has a history of doing on its own is the height of superciliousness, an arrogance far beyond anything a mere mortal should ever possess. For mankind has been more wrong throughout history than he has been right.

You know what bugs me the most?

There are people out their expecting to cash-in on your idiotic beliefs that the globes supposed warming is our fault. Businesses are being set up, waiting for an influx of cash to stream in, when taxes are levied on the average believers and non-believers, who allowed appointed leaders to guilt them into buying the hype-up notion that mankind is this all powerful being capable of altering, what the earth will and will not do.

You know what’s funny about the arrogance of mankind?

If I sat in the earth’s stratosphere, I would not even be able to see you sitting atop you high-horse, even with your nose stuck up in the air.

Obama’s Shark Bump

 

The Bump And The Bite
the shark initially circles and then bumps its victim.

With the bump,

the shark's electroreceptors confirm that the object is alive

and thus potential prey,

triggering the shark

to bite,

sometimes repeatedly.

The resulting injuries are usually severe

and sometimes fatal.

Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim and lone gunman who killed a military recruiter in June of 2009, has bumped America.

Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim and lone gunman who killed 13 soldiers in November of 2009, has bumped America.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Muslim and lone bomber attempted to blow up flight 253 on Christmas Day 2009, and though he failed, struck fear into the hearts of America, thus, has bumped America, yet again.

Sharks (Islamic Extremist) who wish us harm have encircled and blended into American society. They walk our streets, and they have enlisted in our military, and considering the way our President and the Liberal Party has treated each of these incidents, Islamic Extremist mindset has infected our Political leaders and a great many or our society.

The President called the Muslim who attempted to blow up flight 253 on Christmas Day an…

“…isolated extremist…”

Really?

He is the President of the United States, and you mean to tell me that he was unaware of this individuals tie’s to Al Qaeda. And in the extended amount of time it took Obama to break away from his golf game to respond to the near tragedy on Christmas Day, he was unaware that the bomber had proclaimed himself an agent of Al Qaeda. Or the fact that the bomber’s father had warned America that his son had become radicalized by the teachings of Al Qaeda? Also, was the President not aware that Al Qaeda had made a statement about the Christmas bomber, proclaiming him, one of their own and in possession of the deadly bomb materials furnished by them?

Isolated? I think not.

Al Qaeda is a patient group of killers, methodical in their doings. They are as deadly as the Tiger Shark and his approach to a kill. Al Qaeda will bump to check for signs of life, while nibbling away at its prey, chipping away bits and pieces of it until all that is left, are particles not consume.

Our President is seen as weak, our country as prey. While others laugh at our Presidents arrogance and ignorance when it comes to how he as displayed himself around the world and how one failure after another has highlighted his Presidency, Al Qaeda has been watching and waiting for just such a man to sit in the Oval Office…

…for someone they could bump, who would not bump back.

However, they have to be ecstatic, that they got more than they hoped for…

…One whose name and origin is similar to their own, which in itself has meaning.

…One whose heart sympathizes with their cause, which in itself justifies.

The bump has been successful…

…what’s next?

Obama’s Seppuku / Suicide Bomber-like Democrat Representatives

 

            I have no doubt that the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate will be soundly defeated in the November 2010 elections, as I am sure they are aware of, as well. Therefore, to understand their line of thinking when it comes to the Health Care Bill they are forcing on the American public, of which the American people have overwhelmingly rejected, is simple.

            The Democrats wish to commit Seppuku, an ancient Japanese ritual where, for a cause, they impelled themselves with a sharp instrument and slice open their entrails, thus committing suicide. Or perhaps, willing to strap a hypothetical bomb around their waist for the cause, killing themselves and as many nonbelievers as well as believers as possible, all in the name of, in this case, the government control god.

            This vane attempt at nobility is not so much an effort to protect their inglorious leader, the first black President, from yet another embarrassing defeat, but to push forth an agenda designed to give power to a, system of governing. A type of government Americans have fought against and died to prevent, throughout the life of our country.

            Yet it would appear, to no avail.

For here we are, at the dawn of the 21st, century struggling to maintain our Republic against the socialist mindset, endorsed by those masquerading as Government Representatives.

With the American public obviously against the Democrats Health Care Bill, the speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the President of the United States Obama, are advising the Democrats in both the House and Senate, to ignore the will of the people. To push onward toward the take-over of 1/6th of the American economy, and do it, they’ve instructed them, at all cost.

Lie, and tell the people that a Government Run Health Care system will cover every person in America and that it will, in no way, overload an already overloaded establishment and that it will not cost them an extra dime and will not raise the deficit.

Bribe, the Congressmen and Senators from whom you need their vote, with millions of taxpayer dollars in order to get them to pass the Health Care Bill. And should the citizens find out about the bribe, instruct them to inform the people that, Republicans did it too, and that these bribes will not cost them an extra dime and will not raise the deficit.

Sacrifice your career and your principles, all for a Health Care agenda resembling something out of a Stalin regime, cloaked in the people’s interest. Use mystifying rhetoric to hide the fact that the cost for Medicare and Medicaid, in their onset, have more than doubled their projected cost and are on the brink of bankruptcy, even with only a limited percentage of the population participating. Tell your constituents that the new Government run Health Care system in which every citizen, as well as non-citizens will have a right to participate in, will not cost them an extra dime and will not raise the deficit.

In essence, Pelosi, Reid and Obama have instructed the Democrat members of the House of Representatives and the Democrat members of the Senate to kneel down, insert an imaginary, yet acutely sharpened, Health Care blade into their vitals, and rip away at their entrails. Or, step into a crowd of their constituents and detonate the Health Care bomb and do so while screaming...

             …it will not cost you an extra dime and will not raise the deficit!

Democrats Midnight Vote And Backdoor Deals

 

            In their endeavor to take control of 1/6th of the American economy, the Democrats are taking ownership of the Health Care Bill with 60 Democrat Senators voting YES and 40 Republicans voting NO, at 1:00am Monday morning, when most Americans lay sleep in their beds.

            With millions handed out to Senators who held out their support for the bill, until their Black Mail Tactics pilfered them sweetheart deals, the American majorities shouts of opposition to the Democrat Bill, are ignored.

            It is the American peoples opposition to the Democratic Health Care Bill that has sent Democrats scurrying into dark corners, closed-door sessions and midnight votes.

            But why is it that a Bill, Democrats claimed to be good for the American people, has to be discussed behind closed doors and brides handed out in vast amounts and a vote executed in the dark of night?

This is still America, isn’t it?

When the opposition to something as enormous as the Democratic Health Care Bill is cut out of the debate, and the process is pushed forward by those who are suppose to be the representatives of the average man, in a sense their lobbyist, we no longer live in a country founded in the idea of a Republic or a Democracy. We live in a Dictatorship where the ruling class dictates our lives and the voices of the people, have been silenced.

We had better get use to, not knowing, and accepting what’s handed out to us. The way the Democrats are conducting business in Washington is nothing less than criminal, but since they are the lawmakers, they can create the laws that allow them to do what they do.

The only cure for this disease plaguing Washington is the American people. These midnight votes and backdoor deals and TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, and this ignoring the will of the people can be cured by the vote of the individual.

I can’t wait for the November 2010 election, when the AVERAGE JOE will remind those in Washington who is really in charge here in America.

Behind the closed door of an election booth and the midnight-like secrecy of a closed curtain, it will be the America people who get the sweetheart deal…

…new representation in Washington.

Currently employed Senators and Congressman will be made redundant, or in manifest terms…

FIRED!

Israel Will Attack Iran; War Is Coming

 

            Iran is getting ready to implement its horrible plan to conquer the world and spread its ideology, with the aid of nuclear weapons; but it is Israel that stands as the only hope for the world.

            War is imminent and is inevitable.

            The America government is spending more time trying to control the American health care system than they are on the real threats that face America. With our financial system on the verge of collapse, the dollar no longer the currency of choice, China controlling our vast resources through debt, and Obama arrogantly believing his imprudent words yield more power than a weapon of mass destruction, is viewed by world leaders as an injudicious leader…

            …just as the stars where aligned for the election of Obama, they are aligned for America to face a tragedy unlike any in our history. The Iranian Leaders are mad-men determined to wreck havoc on the world while our leaders, here in America, are blinded by their own self-interest, allowing Israel to stand as the only shield between Iran and the rest of the world.

Israel’s safety is threatened more so than that of America, and therefore are being used as a scapegoat by those unwilling step into the leadership role needed to face down the Iranian threat. Israel has been constantly criticized for defending their homeland against those who constantly attack their cities and will be harshly criticized for doing the logical thing to preserve the lives of its people.

            While Iran knows that Obama’s hand’s are not only, tied militarily. But are also too busy positioning themselves in the arrangement of the Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru monkeys, pretending not to see the evil posed by Iran, or to hear Iran’s promise of death to the Jewish people, and refusing to speak of Iran as that of terrorist nation getting closer and closer to gaining nuclear power.

            Obama came into office with a pledge to reach out to the Iranian leadership, without preconditions. Yet, without the actual physical feat, Iran has thrown a shoe in the face of Obama’s talks. They in fact, have increased their moves toward nuclear capability as well increasing their rhetoric exclamation for the destruction of Israel.

            Israel’s long history of facing off against those who threaten their existence has, I’m sure, taught them that when you have the advantage…

…strike first.

It is easier to recover from harsh criticism than the death of millions of Israelis.

Obtuse Americans

 

Spend our way out of this recession,”

…said our fearless leader, Obama.

If you believe putting ourselves further in debt is the answer to our current economic situation, you are being obtuse.

I ask you, how many of you, when in debt, continue to spend more money than you have in the hope of recovering from your growing debt? Well, those of you who have been able to recover know that it takes a discipline with your money and the cutting back on a great many things to avoid a total collapse of your financial state of affairs.

Spending more, when you are going broke, is exceptional idealism, practiced by Obama and like-minded individuals. Something any reasonable person would find, illogical.

Obama acts like a man on welfare, accustomed to spending other people’s money, without the appreciation of what it would take to have actually earned it. One accustomed to, being given, certain assumed necessities and never having to worry about obtaining them on his own through his own sweat and labor. Unless you consider begging, labor.

Yet the most troubling thing about this spending scenario is the American people, and their disregard for those in Washington, spending our money as if it were monopoly money. The mindset of those who shrug it off as, business as usual, is a product of those who have been beaten over the head with corrupt politicians and a segment of a mindless society on a journey, unsure of the direction in which it wishes to go, guided by a broken moral compass.

We, the American people have allowed our Politicians to take our money and spend it on such pet projects as…

$2.2 Million – Failing Golf Course In San Francisco

$54 Million – California Wine Train

$1.5 Million – Fossil Research In Argentina

$75,000.00 Thousand – Puppet Show And Clown Theater

$400,000.00 Thousand – Malt Liquor And Marijuana Journals

$200,000.00 Thousand – How College Students “Hook-Up”

$500,000.00 Thousand – How To Use Face Book

$220,000.00 Thousand – Rat And Bird Sex /

                                          Cast System And Division Of Labor Of Ants

$6 Million – Hillary Clinton Pollster To Save 3 Jobs

Its hard to believe that we Americans have allowed our Representatives to do the things they have done and not insist on true change at the ballot box. We have been obtuse in our duties as Americans, and in doing so, we have allowed our Representative to become arrogant elitists who feel themselves privileged to our hard-earned money, to do with, as they will.

When I see the percentage of those polled who agree with the Government Elitist, and their pilfering actions, I can’t help but wonder whether or not I’m in some sort of Twilight Zone, some sort of Alternate Universe where everything is upside down.

Six figure salaries for those who work for the government have gone up, while the salaries for those in the private sector have gone down. Now, if you can’t see something wrong with that scenario, you are being obtuse. Government work was never meant to line the pockets of those who choose to work within it…

…government should not be BIG BUSINESS.

While many in the country are losing their jobs, many companies are forced to make cuts in personnel; while the Government is adding 10,000 jobs a month, many of which are six figure a year salaries.

When the recession began, the Department of Transportation had only 1 individual making $170,000.00 a year salary. However, now more than1,690 are making $170,000.00 a year.

The Government FAA Chief received a raise of over $170,000.00 a year, while at the same time 1,700 other Government employees received the same $170,000.00 salary increase.

The average salary of people like you and me, the average individual in the private sector, is $40,000.00 a year, while the average salary for a Government employee is $71,000.00 a year.

These individuals in the Government earning these outrageous salaries produce nothing, except paperwork and regulations restricting the rights and privileges of those like you and me. They import or export nothing of value worth trading while receiving their lavish income, yet they can find it within themselves to kill small business growth and choke the life out of large Corporations.

Does any of this make sense to you?

If you say yes, I must ask you…

…don’t be obtuse.

95 Year Old WWII Vet Wrote A Letter To Obama

Dear President Obama,     

       

     My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year.  People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

     I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate.  Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

     One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

     So here goes.

     I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

     I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

     You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

             " We're no longer a Christian nation"

             " America is arrogant" - (Your wife even

                 announced to the world," America is mean-

                 spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching

                 that nonsense to 23 generations of our

                 war dead buried all over the globe who

                 died for no other reason than to free a

                 whole lot of strangers from tyranny and

                 hopelessness.)

     I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you.  To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

     After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

     Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British?  Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?  I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

     I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination.  You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

     Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

     Shape up and start acting like an American.  If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue .  You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

     And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight?  You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

     One more thing.  I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son.  Do your job.  When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him.  But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out.  The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

     You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. 

     You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy.  That's not our greatest threat.  Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

     And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

 

Sincerely,

Harold B. Estes

Have You Seen Enough To Know Yet?

 

            As I sit back and watch the comings and goings of our new President, I find myself unsurprised by his actions simply because he has, in his short time in office, done all that he indicated he would do, through his words, his actions and his ambiguous explanations for his selected and long associates.

            Allow me to explain what it is I mean.

            In my humble opinion, Obama’s presentation of himself to the American people has covertly in some ways and blatantly in others, stated…

…he openly believes in a form of socialism as indicated by his actions of expanding the role government into the private sector in a way never before done in our history. Obama believes that the government is the answer to what should be a entrepreneurial solution to the current predicament we find ourselves in the grips of. Obama has to understand that the road down which he is attempting to take us will split this country in twain, (that’s in two parts), divided between those who desire the failed state of socialism. And those who still believe that the dream of America, that was once Americas foundation and its reason for being, was based on…

NO TAXATION WITHOUT, REPRESENTATION!

In other words, the government did not have the right to take our hard-earned money and spend it unjustly. So let the new cry be…

NO TAXATION WITHOUT PROPER REPRESENTATION!

Let’s take a look at the man leading this socialist charge in this calculated attempt to erase the glorious history that was America. The man who feels as if he is an adopted child of a nation he now leads does not seem to understand that in every family, hurtful words are spoken; painful acts are committed one against the other. What Obama and those who are likeminded fail to understand, is that the tie that binds Americans, one to the other, is the blood shed along the way. Blood shed by those whose objective was not to change the foundation on which this country was built, but to create a better neighborly understanding of one another in order that the dream that America was built on, will have the chance to be brought to fruition.

Think about the man who has promised the most open government in our history, and I’m sad to say, he has done as he has, and will probably always do, tell the people what they want to hear and clandestinely do the opposite.

But why should we expect honesty, from the man who looked the American people in the eyes and said his relationship with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn was a casual one, when his first job in law was supplied to him by Bill Ayers wife Beradine Dohrn. And the fact that Obama launched his political career in the home of the man he claims was nothing more than “a guy who lived in my neighborhood”.

I know, I know, just politics as usual. Sure.

Would it shock you to learn that he has based his rise to power on the teachings of Saul Alinsky? Alinsky was a community organizer, like Obama,with extreme radical beliefs that advocated the quiet overthrow of the government through covert means? Now tell me, whey would a man interested in bringing peace and unity to a nation, rely on such teachings?

The same beliefs were the foundation of one openly controversial ‘man of god’ the prominent Rev. Wright who married Obama and is wife, baptized his children and gave such a resounding sermon one day that Obama titled a book based on that very same sermon. The same man who Obama said he could no more disown than he could his own grandmother. Nevertheless, in true Obama fashion, Obama fed this inspiring figure to the wolves when politically expedient. Perhaps the teachings of Alinsky inspire to such behavior. Obama believes that the teachings of Alinsky where profound, and perhaps, just perhaps the perfect model for conquering those whom him and those likeminded individuals believed to be the obstacles, the enemies of their eventual government control and ‘one Party one Leader rule’.

Allow me to stop here and ask you not to think me a conspiracy theorist, just one pointing out widely known, yet ignored, facts.

Allow me to go further in my assumptions.

I dare to say that based on Obamas background he would, no doubt, also have learned the ways of the Muslim method of conquest, Al-Taqiya, and perhaps found them, if anything, intriguing. And I say again, according to Obamas own background and history he would have, no doubt had access to such teachings and beliefs.

This form of revolution allows the believer to become the likeness of the enemy, and if possible, taking on the dress of its enemy while infiltrating that societies elite class. In addition, organizing the dissimilar misinformed who are likeminded in some aspect who would unwittingly play a role in the downfall of that society.

Allow me a poor example…

…the true believer could tell an individual who might be weak in spirit and weak of mind, that the opportunities of that society have been denied them because of either their color, religion or some other ism plaguing that society. While telling that unwitting fool, that he, the masquerading true believer, can fix what is wrong with their society if they were too just believe in his ‘change’ that would fundamentally change everything about that society, for no doubt, the good of that poor misguiding group. While telling the unwitting fool to forget the struggle of its nations past and gains brought on by that struggle, because in spite of the considerable success, the unwitting fool should have more than what this society has given to him and his kind.

The masquerading true believer will speak of change toward a way of life that has been tried and tried again and failed repeatedly. A change where only those in power profit off the backs of the working class, that same working class those in power promised to help. He will dress that wolf up in sheep’s clothing, with lipstick and makeup to boot and those who have been bread to believe somebody owes them something will gather around with their hands out in great anticipation.

People are constantly looking for change, it is human nature to seek the path of least resistance, but America has survived because a great people have tempered that desire with sound reasoning, often treading the rough terrain out of the desire to preserve the spirit that is America. However, the true believer in Al-Taqiya along with those likeminded in power encourages and misdirects the revolt of the working class in order to advance their sinister ends.

If you dare stand up against them, speak against their sinister ends, you will be identified as, well, a racist or some other mania that pits you against the everyday community.

            Now I have no personal insight into the mind of those like Obama, but I can base my opinions on his actions taken. If I were to listen to his words, I would believe that ism’s is a conquerable thing, but history has proven that such a thing is forever impossible, there will always be ism’s. However, with the right leadership, ism’s could be channeled in the right direction, but it would take one who has not spent their life believing in an ism based on divide. Moreover, he would do all he needed to do so that his actions could not be misconstrued as opposite his beliefs, because I strongly believe that, so a man thinks, hidden or otherwise, so he is. A true worshiper of peace will display peace at every turn, not because he is a saint, but simply because he knows that he is an example that he desires others to follow and if he is to achieve such a lofty goal, sacrifices need be made on his part.

            How, many could ask, could Obama believe in the things of someone like a Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers or Saul Alinsky? But then you would have to ask other leaders with grandiose ideas of changing the world, what they where thinking. What if you could ask Hitler what was on his mind in his attempt to fundamentally change the world when he murdered so many Jews, when he himself was part Jewish.

Now I’m in no way comparing the two in any other way except the obvious, so please take that last statement for what it is, a pointed comparison.

America will change, but were we go will depend on the leader we choose to lead. Because we, the people, chose the leader and he succeeds when we, the people, allow him to do so.

            America, you have seen Obama and heard his words and yet many have fallen in love with the idea of the man. And indeed it is a beautiful thing to see, in my life time, a black President. However, what I know about the man disturbs me. Because what if he believes what I think he believes. What if he indeed, plans to revolutionize America into a socialist system? History will show that the first black President led America to an end to what made it great, saying that perhaps, he hated Americas past so much, that he destroyed its future. America is indeed a flawed society, while still possessing greatness based on the doctrines of our founding fathers that granted hope to all, even a black man chained and bound during its inscription.

            Somewhere along the way, those who traversed adversity began to preach the compartmentalizing of a society, disregarding a decade of success born by one leader Martin Luther King Jr. whose preaching’s of peace changed the hearts and minds of millions. Words that led many to believe that in spite of what had occurred in Americas past, or perhaps because of it, America was a nation bound for greatness. But it would appear that the likes of Obama, whose true roots are not based in the struggle of black America, preferred the teachings of the outwardly, and perhaps inwardly, failed Alinsky and the like.

            I beseech you to look for yourself at the man’s actions, and employ you to study his words. And if there is anything within you that loves America, in spite of itself, will find that hope and change in which the likes of Obama plan to transform this country into, is a different direction in which so many who have come before us, died for, is not the country in which they paid the ultimate price. They did not die so that we would one day give over our freedoms to the government. We are American, the home where the people rule and those in government work for us.

            But it’s up to you, so I ask…

Have you seen enough to know yet?

“Just Words, Just Speeches.”

 

            Obama put General McCrystal in Command, he instructed him to go out into the field, assess the situation, and come back with a report detailing how to win the war in Afghanistan.

            However, there was buzz in Obama’s ear. Something was telling him that he had to actually make a decision, he couldn’t vote present this time, he would have to be the one to pick the direction an entire military, a nation, would go. There was no Military Czar to appoint who could take the blame, if his decision happens to be wrong. Therefore, a man with borrowed audacity, who never had to walk a tight rope without a net, has found stepping out on that thin line, without some sort of security beneath him, a bit challenging.

            If you listen to the political spin, spun by the Obama administration, he has a million reasons why he can’t commit the needed troops to the Afghanistan theater, his political reasoning has moved into position and his common decency has fell silent. Obama is a man limited to teleprompted speeches, whose words have been carefully scripted, to appear intellectual.

Obama is like an empty tub, if words are spoken through it, they sound grand and strong. Yet it is but an empty tub, that merely amplifies the words of others.

            His speech before the troops in Alaska was condescending…

"I will not risk your lives

unless it is necessary to America's vital interests,"

he said.

"And if it is necessary,

the United States will have your back."

Barack Obama

            The most pitiful portion of that statement is, “…the United States will have your back.”

            Why should any of the troops in Alaska, or any serving in the military, listening to the words of Obama, believe a one of them?

There are troops on the ground, right now, in Afghanistan whose General has asked for reinforcements, and has been turned down by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, the same man who said…

“…the United States will have your back.”

            Well, in one aspect he is absolutely correct, those fighting for the United States of America can rest assured that we, the Amerian People, will indeed have the backs of our fighting men and women…

            However, what they need to be concerned about…

            …is will their President?

The Obama Karma

  
            I don’t believe there has been a month, since Obama took office, that some sort of major event didn’t occur. 
            In January, signs of a credit downturn made news, the impact on Americans was a, tell-tell sign, that our financial worries had only begun. Obama’s first major act as President was to put our country in debt to the tune of $825 billion dollars. This bill passed without anyone knowing what the bill contained, where the money would go, or how the money would be spent. Obama warned…

For every day we wait

(to pass the $825 billion stimulus package)

 or point fingers or drag our feet,

more Americans will lose their jobs,”

he added…

“…unemployment would not rise about 8%...

Barack Obama

            With the $825 billion dollar stimulus package passed, unemployment has risen to, officially, 10.2% while, unofficially it is more like 16 to 17%. I would have to say that Obama’s stimulus package has yet to do what he said it would…

Save or create three to four million jobs.”

Barack Obama

            In February, banks began closing in record numbers, while many Americans began losing their jobs at an unprecedented pace. Not to mention the fact that North Korea began firing missiles over Japan.

What about in March when the concern about the shrinking value of the U.S. dollar sparked the debate about the creation of a supranational reserve currency to be issued by international institutions as part of a reform of the global financial system.

            In April, while Turkey ridiculed Obama with a black faced commentary, Obama bows to a Muslim King, lessening the authority of the Office of the United States Presidency. In addition, an American Journalist is held in Iran on charges of espionage. Let us not forget the unexplained death of Freddie Macs CFO after questions about Freddie Mac’s accounting practices came into question.

            With more than 4000 people in America dead today, May was the beginning of the Swine flu, or H1N1 scare. It reared it’s piggish head and began a near panic about the upcoming flu season.

Who could forget North Korea’s test of a Nuclear weapon and declaration of war with the South Korea and the United States, when the U.S. and South Korea acted to halt shipments of Arms leaving South Korea heading to destinations, unknown. South Korea said in a statement...

"Now that the South Korean puppets

were so ridiculous as to join in the said racket

and dare declare a war against compatriots,

North Korea is compelled

to take a decisive measure,"

Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea

North Korean called it a violation of the armistice the two Koreas signed in 1953 to end their three-year war, and said it would no longer honor the treaty.

June Obama declared that America, founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs, was one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, again sparking outrage for average Americans proud of its historical past. Obama also declared that Iran had a right to Nuclear Power, in spite of the repeated threats by Iran to wipe Israel, America’s closest ally in the Middle East, off the face of the earth.

            In July, the time clock on Iran’s nuclear sites heats up. If Israel strikes, the repercussions would be devastating around the world.

While Obama, the one many thought would unite the nation, calls a white Police Officer performing his duty, “Stupid” after the Officer arrested a black professor. The supposed healer of America’s old wounds stirred a hornet’s nest between blacks and whites, in essence reaffirming the misguided notion that blacks cannot trust Police Officers to do the right thing.

            In August, the American people stood up against Government Spending and Government Control of the Private Sectors, in a true Ground Roots Movement at Tea Party’s across the nation, dividing the nation unlike anything seen in decades.

            September recorded the obvious; Iran was nearer to developing a nuclear capable Dirty Bomb or Projectile.

With the U.S. printing money beyond necessity, the UN decided, it wanted a new global currency to replace the U.S. dollar, while at the time, Obama is asking the U.S. Senate to increase the Debt ceiling to allow more Government spending, of what the U.S. did not have.

            October was the deadliest month of the Afghanistan war for U.S. Soldiers. It was also one of the most troubling months this year concerning the decline in value of the U.S. dollar. If a world war would ever start over anything, it would be because of this troubling scenario. And with the currency on a downward slide The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill with 1,990 pages without reading it or knowing fully what it contained. A bill that will cost the American people more than $1 Trillion dollars, and with our deficit already at its highest in history.

            And who will ever forget November? Obama’s first homegrown terrorist act committed, not only on American soil, but inside a military installation, with 13 dead at the hands of a Muslim, who all but declared his Jihadist intentions before carrying out the deadliest act ever perpetrated on an American military installation. The most devastating thing about the entire event is that the Muslim was a Major in the U.S. Army stationed at the base, whose duties were that of a psychiatrist, to help struggling soldiers returning home from a war zone.

            What will the rest of November and December hold for the American people by way of Obama? America is a strong and resilient nation; we will endure the Bad Karma offered by the man so many thought would bring a peace, if not to the world, at least to America. But as month after month has proven to be more wrong than right about Obama or the direction in which he intends to take America, we look forward to the 2010 elections when Americans can go to the polls and appoint a New Direction for America.

            I just wonder how someone with such Bad Karma could ever do anything.

A Jihadist Masquerading As a Soldier

 

With 13 dead, and the killers words,…

“ALLAHU AKBAR!”

…still ringing loudly in the ears of eyewitnesses, Obama said…

“…I would caution against jumping to conclusions…”

            Well, the only conclusion any reasonable person could possibly come to, is that a terrorist act took place on an American military installation, by a Muslim jihadist masquerading as a soldier.

            Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, said goodbye to those he knew and stepped out with two handguns and killed 13 individuals going about their day to day, feeling safe behind the guarded gates of Fort Hood, unsuspecting danger dressed in a military uniform with US Army stamped on it.

            The times we live in now are trying; the fact that our adversaries, to see how we stand when pushed, are testing us is obvious. The terrorists that mean us harm, are counting on their surrogates to inflict as much damage as they can, when they can. The terrorists are putting out the word, in the many formats available in today’s society and counting on at least one follower to commit a bloody act that garners attention and brings more attention and recruits to their cause. It is getting so that none of these like-minded individuals need ever meet in the same place, the idea of Jihad is one the individual can feel and act upon with complete individualism.

            Already, certain aspects of the media have begun to ignore the horrible act committed by this terrorist, Hasan. They have begun to focus more on how Hasan had been treated by his fellow soldiers prior to his murderous rampage, thus attempting to offer up an excuse for this mass murder. Well, at least it is good to know that those in the media spewing this nonsense are either on news channels or in newspapers with very low viewers or readers.

            When a man robs a bank, we call him a bank robber. When a man embezzles millions from the unsuspecting, we call him an embezzler. When a man arms himself with two semi-automatics and walks into a crowd of unsuspecting people and screams “Allahu Akbar” and opens fire, killing 13, knowing full well, he himself will be shot and possibly killed, I don’t believe it would be, “jumping to conclusion” to believe that the man is a terrorist.

            If it walks like a Jihadist, quacks like a Jihadist, it must be a Jihadist.

THE 2009 VOTE, A PEOPLE’S VICTORY!

 

            My belief and pride in the American people, have been rejuvenated. Just when I began to believe that, those on the East side of America had abandoned the American beliefs, which actually originated in the East, Eastern Americans showed Constant and Determination to the rest of America; they showed that American grit still exists.

            That those in Washington are listening showed immediately, as if with precognition to the outcome of yesterdays elections before the ballots were counted, Senator Reid stepped behind a microphone and all but assured Americans that the Health Care Takeover, would have to wait until next year.

“We’re not going to be bound by any timelines,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), referring to Obama’s demand to have a Health Care Bill passed by the end of the year. However Reid (D) will have a hard time being reelected himself in 2010, and took note of what happened in the Vote of 2009.

            The once slumbering American Spirit has awakened and found its country heading toward a cliff in a fast moving vehicle, and a radical’s foot pushing hard on the pedal, with little or no indication that the radical sees or even cares about the dangers approaching.

            I believe the 2008 vote that put Obama in office was an anomaly, unlike what took place in Virginia and New Jersey of 2009. Charles Krauthammer said it best, in the 2008 election “the stars where perfectly aligned for the Democrats.”

So Americans ignored the obvious and hoped for change, of the unrealistic kind, only to find themselves threatened by nuclear armed dictators roaming the world, record high unemployment, and an economy teetering. Not to mention engaging in a war were the new Commander-in-Chief enacted a new war strategy, with a newly appointed General. Only to ignore the recommendation set forth by his General, and express his understanding of what victory is by describing it this way…

“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’

because, you know, it invokes this notion of

Emperor Hirohito coming down

and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”

Barack Obama

I thought our victory over the Japanese was a good thing.

At any rate, the American Spirit lives within the heart of America, and a shot has been fired over the bow of the political ship filled with elitist, who judge themselves above the fray.

These Untouchables have been warned.

But who listens to a nobody like me? I’m just a voice crying in the wilderness, torn by the turn in which my country has taken. Frightened for the future of my children and the country I will leave them.

I can’t fight on the battle field because my diabetes prevents me from doing so, or as God is my witness, I would be there. My wife and I have just enough money to support our family, pay our mortgage, put food on the table and give what we can, to what we believe, when we can.

I like to write, and though I am no Thomas Sowell, Charles Krauthammer or Bill Kristol, I have an opinion, and have believed for a long time that one voice, one vote, can make a difference.

So ignore me if you will politicians. Call me a radical for attending a Tea Party, accuse me of being mere Astroturf and a wearer of swastika’s, that’s fine. When me, and other silent majority such as myself, are done selecting our candidates in 2010…

…those who choose to fundamentally change our society…

 …will become a part of the 10% unemployed.

Health Care: Ideology Takeover

  

            How is it that more than half of the American public disagree with what’s going on in Washington, the Takeover Of Health Care By The Government, can go unheeded by our, Government Funded Representatives?

            Ideology…

            The power hungry in Washington understand that once they get their claws into the Health Care System, they will control 1/6th or more, of the American economy. In that, they will control so much of our financials that they will control our very lives. They will add more money to their kitty and control more and more of those willing to do anything for a buck, or those who are in such great need that they can’t do without the government aid. And not to mention, a large group of people inevitably becoming dependent on that Government assistance. If you doubt that, take a look at those living on welfare.

            The first step toward socialism, is a dependence on Government medical care. It’s easy and on its face, it’s free. However, when taxes are raised to match that of Canada, the mindset of Americans could become one of complacency.

Hell, I cannot believe that the minority of those who agree with this Government Takeover are not outraged that we start paying NOW! for a Health Care System that will not go in effect until 2015!

            Americans have been fighting against this Health Care Takeover for a great many years. Click, Ronald Reagan  to hear him speak out against Socialized Medicine in 1961.

            We defeated it then, we can defeat it again.

            If you think that they will cut waste, stop fraud and never intrude on our day-to-day living, you are a fool.

            There is not one example of a US Government program that runs efficiently, not one. For Christ Sake, they cannot even get a flu vaccine ready in time to vaccinate the American public, let alone control a Health Care Program.

I know, Obama said it is the manufactures fault.

Right!

I thought Obama was the President, the Leader of the free world.

When he passes the buck like that, he’s acting like a ‘Man-child’. He is providing all the proof any should need to realize that allowing the Government to take charge of our Health Care System, is giving power to those who are willing to blame all others for the eventual failure forthcoming in this massive Takeover.

The ideology of those in Washington is that Government is the answer, when our Founding Fathers knew, from experience that, not Government, but the people are the answers to those things that trouble us. The Founding Fathers understood that if you had an idea, present it to the people, if the majority agrees, then it can be enacted. If it fails to incorporate the majority, then it needs to halted and re-presented so that those who failed to grasp its meaning could have time too better understand it, and perhaps persuaded.

If a man in Washington tells you he knows better than the People do, fear that man, for he thinks more of his ideology, than what the people think.

I refuse to believe that this Health Care Bill will get through Washington, for I believe more in the American People, than any Power Hungry Politician sitting high upon the hill in Washington, looking down at the American people with contempt for daring to disagree with what he thinks is best for the masses.

A VENTING: THE DEVIL’S PROMISE

 

            This article is in no way an endorsement to any religion, but merely an effort to point out the understanding of a lie. An attempt to get you to see that the understanding of a lie dates back to the days when the meaning of a lie could be highlighted in one of the most famous and most read books in history, the bible.

            If you are not a religious person, please look at this as a well-written story that attempted to get all to see that, the lie is an old trick, which if worded correctly, could convince the most naive or innocent, to avoid the truth, when presented in a desirable manner. All the liar has to comprehend, are the wants and desires of the flexible, and all he has to do then, is twist and turn his lie, so that it becomes pleasing to the wants of the excepting ear.

            According to the bible, Satan, the Devil, authored the lie. His tongue was as smooth as silk and with his ability to speak with such conviction, he was able convinced the knowledgeable to doubt what they knew to be truth.

            It was Satan, who promised that men could become gods if they would only go against that which they knew to be forbidden. Satan was able to convince those who lived in Paradise that Paradise, was anything but.

Now the serpent was more subtle

than any beast of the field

which the LORD God had made.

And he said unto the woman,

“Yea, hath God said,

Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

And the woman said unto the serpent,

“We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree

which is in the midst of the garden,

God hath said,

Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.”

And the serpent said unto the woman,

“Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,

then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil.”

            So you have to ask the question, why would those who lived in Paradise, choose to be cast out of this perfect place? Why would they believe the lie, why would they throw away a life that had been good to them, a life that provided all they could ever ask for?

            Well, in its simplistic reasoning, it was because of the promise, rooted in a lie.

            Satan promised Eve she would not die, that her eyes would open, that she would be equal to her God, and that she would know, good and evil.

            Eve was naïve and had lived in bliss for far to long, she could not find it in herself to believe that anyone would lie to her. Life was easy, outside of the normal day to day activities and challenges a day might bring, she believed that nothing would ever take her away from the only life she had ever known. And possibly she believed, that if it did change, how bad could it be?

            Americans, living in the comfort of a society built on the backs of many. From every walk of life many have come to partake in the fruit of America’s tree. A society not perfect, but the youth of our nation and the possibilities ever present, leaves the rest of the world wanting and desiring what we have, and yet…

            …many Americans dare to dream of, recreating, our society based on nothing more than a lie. A lie, told over and over again, until many have come to believe it to be true.

            Our history is marred in bloodshed, a history similar to ever other great society throughout history. So you see, we are no different in our creation than any other society, except in one respect. From pauper to prince is common to any one willing to put forth the effort to achieve. Nothing is guaranteed, except, the hope and the opportunity. The rest is up to the individual and even then, not guaranteed.

            So why, I ask, have so many Americans begun to believe the great lie?

            Are we truly an arrogant nation, with a history so vile that a total makeover of our society is necessary? Has America oppressed so many, that we can ignore the, so many, that have walked away from an oppressed living, that we should reshape our society.

            I am one who lived his entire life, a poor man; I have never been able to live beyond that of a middle class individual. I am one rich in friends and family but poor in finances, so my value lies within those around me, and I’m OK with that. I was born poor and have lived from paycheck to paycheck my adult life. It was my mother who taught me that if you want something, she would say, “find a way to get it because I can’t help you. Besides, it’s your life, find a way to get what you want. Just do it respectfully,” she pleaded. “Because you reap what you sow,” she warned.

            According to many, the color of my skin should have put limitations on me that forbid me from ever do so many of the things I’ve done in my life, and yet here I am, the experienced one.

            I fell in love with America a long time ago, in a time when many men of color where rebelling and criticizing…

…except one.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Criticize he did. Rebel, he did not. Dr. King did not go about selling the lie of how terrible America was. He spoke of the goodness and possibilities this nation had to offer. He was a black man, unable to sit at the front of a bus, or eat in certain diners, or drink from a given water fountain and yet he found the right and goodness, in America.

Remember that the Devils lie is geared toward your weaknesses’. It tells you what you want to hear and promises you that, all you need do is eat from the forbidden tree and all will be made right. Only a fool would dare believe such foolishness.

If it promises you something for nothing, it is a lie.

If it destroys opposition to its belief, then it is hardly anything worth believing in.

If it promises the same for Paul as it does for Peter, then you have to believe that Paul and Peter are, one and the same.

If a man lies to you, and you believe his lie and you later find his lie to be untrue, shame on him…

…if he lies to you a second time and you find it be untrue and you believe him again, shame on you.

In the history of the world, no nation has done what American has done, in such a short period of time. So, without doubt, one has to believe that the success of this nation is based on a philosophy founded in truth.

So ask yourself, is eating of the tree in the midst of the garden worth it? Do we hand over our freedom of self to a government that is all self-serving?

Remember the Devils lie…

…we are not gods, just simple beings with self-determining rights. Rights that should never be taken away by anyone. Let alone, given away freely by the individual.

I would rather be a fisherman who goes home some nights without a catch, after a long day of casting my line, than one who waits in line for a fish dinner to be portioned out to me, by a server who draws a paycheck based on my need to eat.
