I just read an article from the UK Daily Mail. It ranks states by the freedoms that the citizens have. California and New York are the worst. While New Hampshire, Indiana, and South Carolina are ranked at the top. the thing that hit me though is the state That I live in is ranked toward the bottom.
Ohio is a state that has so many regulations that infringe upon individual rights. Why are we treated like we cannot make a common sense decision on our own? The Federal government is bad enough without the state adding more items to the list.
What has happened to Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as personal responsibility?

Does Anybody Know The Truth
I was speaking to a guy at work yesterday and he told me that he lost a $65,000 a year job because GW Bush raised taxes and the company closed up and moved to Mexico. What? As I recall GW lowered taxes, Didn't He? Or was that a lie?
Tax policies that are hurting companies and people are caused by Democrats who have been writing tax code for a long time. an oppressive tax system that is so confusing creates problems for everyone. Why can't we simplify the tax code?
a flat tax or Fair tax would change the way companies view their future opportunities and allow for the American people to spend their money the way they think it should be spent. However, we have a government that is not really for the people. They are actually for themselves. they want to control every aspect of our lives. George W. was a good president but not a great one. He was in fact more progressive than conservative which means he did favor bigger government, but he also had some restraint. He did listen to the people on a lot of issues, but when it came to the House and Senate being controlled by Democrats, I think he just felt like he could not win and decided to allow the lack of oversight in the housing and financial arenas. this led to TARP and the Obama bailouts.
Companies have always looked for ways to protect the profit so they can stay in business and create jobs, but when things get out of hand you can't blame them for moving if things are more profitable somewhere else.
We need to reeducate the masses with the truth instead of allowing the lame stream media to continue to tell lies.

The Republican Debate
I didn't get to watch the debate on Monday night, but I have heard a lot of commentary. The winner was this one or that one really came on strong. Michelle B. announced that she was running for president.
All this seems, on the surface to be very nice. However, the venue and the Network did not allow for the candidates to answer any really tough questions.
Mr. Cain, would you chose thick or thin crust? Mr Romney, if you order wings do you want them hot or mild? Ms. Bachman, do you like Elvis or Johnny Cash? I know that some people want the republicans to be soft and wimpy, but I prefer to have a candidate that will tear into the issues that are ripping apart our country. The economy and the role that President Obama has played in it's destruction. Illegals who get free health care and free education and don't pay taxes. The wars in Libya and Yemen and why we should not be involved. Obama Care that will tear apart the very fabric of good health care. High gas prices that can be brought down if we just simply drill here and drill now. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and the fact that Mr. Obama has not brought us back to any form of growth in our economy.
Where is the backbone and guts we need to lead us to an awakening of the American Dream? We need a Leader not a Politician who thinks he looks good to the voters. Give us something to grab hold of, a little hope that things are going to be fixed and the dream of this once great nation will again be within the grasp of anyone who wants to reach for it. Or should we just consider the idea that we need to move away to another country where all of the jobs have gone. It is time to stand up for truth and throw out the progressives who want to change this to a ruling class/slave class society, because quite frankly I do not want to be a slave.

The Way of Destruction
This is a personal thought that I have been having today.
In Matthew Chapter 7, Jesus is still giving His sermon telling the people what the kingdom of God looks like. He says, " In everything treat people the way you want them to treat you...." Then as He goes on he says something that would have raised eyebrows in that time. "Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. for the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few that find it. So beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
How appropriate are these words for today? So many people have jumped on the band wagon of things like "global warming", the need to reduce the use of fossil fuels, big government, labor unions, and many other ideas that are leading our nation down the broad or wide path to destruction. Now before you get all upset with me allow me a chance to explain.
First, I agree that we have a responsibility to take care of this earth. After all it is the only one we have. However, when we decide that man made global warming is so devastating to the future of this planet and we must reduce carbon emissions, then we have a lot of sheep following the "leader" to destruction. God created this earth and gave man dominion over it. This does not mean he can destroy it, he doesn't have the ability. Stop for a minute and think about this, solar and wind energy make up less than 2% of our current need. Experts also say that the technology is several years away that will allow it to produce more than tha amount. Now the federal government and the EPA have put rules into place that have changed the rules on coal fired power plants, and AEP, an energy provider in Ohio and West Virginia is closing 5 production facilities and 600 people are losing their jobs. Is this not leading this nation to destruction?
Second, While labor unions have had their place in helping the workers get better pay and benefits, they have now come to the point where they use membership dues to fund liberal-progressive government ideas that continue to devastate our nation. When public employees, who are paid by taxpayers, start making more and more demands that cause the taxpayers to revolt, we know there is a problem. Most of the people in the unions, I believe, are good people. they are simply pawns in the big game and being used. When the Obama administration gives billions to labor unions for bailouts and then gives them waivers on the health care, there has to be a problem.
Now we are expected to just sit back and take whatever the government wants to do with our money. Well I say that I will not be lead down the side path that leads to destruction. I will chose the narrow way of Jesus Christ and allow Him to lead me to Life.
We have a choice, We can turn our hearts back to God the creator of all things and humble ourselves before Him. This will lead to a renewal of this great nation and a great people . but, if we continue down the wide path, this nation is destined to fail, and I believe this is exactly what The enemies of God want.
There are some many more examples of this destructive behavior but for now it is time to "Wake up Church, and wake up America."

EPA Tactics of Destruction
I received this in an email and it is truly disturbing. Our Freedoms are under attack as well as our financial futures.
"This is truly Obama's EPA. This was his stated agenda before he was elected president. Should we be surprised that he is taking this action against the American people now?

| Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, the former governor of coal-producing West Virginia, is blasting the Obama administration for using the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate coal-fueled power plants out of business. On Thursday, American Electric Power company announced that to comply with a series of EPA regulations, it will close five coal-fired plants -- three in West Virginia and one each in Ohio and Virginia -- at a net cost of 600 jobs. American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. " How can we stop this? First we must let our representatives know that we are aware and we want this to stop. Second, we must make sure Obama does not get re-elected! |

Government Waste
I got this from a website that is posted by Heritage.Org.--- Dirtyspendingsecrets.com.
2.6 million dollars was spent from the stimulus to teach Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job.
1125 US Postal workers are given specific intructions to do absolutly nothing every day costing 50 million annually.
25 billion dollars are spenmt each to maintain vacant and unused federal properties each year.
123 billion dollars are spent by the Government every year on programs that help no one at all.
The 2009 stimulus package paid for Mascot costumes, eletric golf carts, and a Unuiversity study of how much alcohol freshman women required before agreeing to have sex.
I think we really need to send a strong message to our representatives that this wil no onger be acceptable practice.

The Doom of Our Freedom
From Reuters June 8, 2011
President Barack Obama on Tuesday urged European countries and bondholders to prevent a "disastrous" default by Greece and pledged U.S. support to help tackle the country's debt crisis.

After a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he stressed the importance of German "leadership" on the issue - a hint that he expects Berlin to help - while expressing sympathy for the political difficulties European Union countries face in helping a struggling member state.
How can Mr. Obama think that we need to give more to Greece after they were already given, What was it? 160 billion dollars already. However, because the Government in Greece cannot get control of a society of takers, They now need more.
Is this the one thing we need to do to stabilize the world economy? Or should we consider the need to stand firm in our own resolve to fix the problems we have here. this nation is fast becoming a nation of "takers". the more the Government gives the more we want. When does it end? We cannot keep going in this direction and expect to survive. maybe that is exactly what Mr. Obama and his cronies want, a nation that is no longer the a leader in this world. We will become just like all the other nations that have been ruined by taking more from the "rich" and giving to the "poor". What can we expect if we allow this to continue? Is this the change we can hope for? A dead end life with no more opportunity to pull ourselves up and become something or someone of significance.
Wake up America before it is no longer called America the land of the free and the home of the brave.
