Independence Day

On July 4th we celebrate Independence, an historical date which is remembered for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Why did we need a Declaration? Were we not already independent?
In 1620 a group of separatists, also known as Pilgrims headed away form England, headed for a new world just so they would be free to worship as they believed. Thy no longer could abide by the government telling them what to believe and how to believe. State run churches were not what these people wanted. Half of the Pilgrims that landed at Cape Cod, after 66 days of sea travel, feel ill and died. Yet, the remaining group stayed on and fought for what they believed in, freedom of worship.  as the Colonies grew, they began to be oppressed by the British government. After all they were still loyal British subjects. The King began to impose strong laws that began to diminish the freedom of the colonists. Thus, began a verbal rebellion. The Black Robed Regiment, as they were known by the British, began to preach the gospel in a political fashion denouncing the King and reminding people that God was the Sovereign and He alone could give freedom. Many of these sermons became the foundation of the Declaration of Independence. One preacher of that day, John Locke, wrote in his book "Second Treatise on Government," "The most desirable government is one that protected human life, liberty, and estate. therefore government should be limited: it should be strong enough to protect these three inalienable rights." The Declaration of Independence states we have inalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

The word 'inalienable' means something is incapable of being repudiated or transferred to another. The adjective is commonly used to refer to things not alienable such as birthright.

The colonists understood that the only rights they truly had were given by God, the right to live life to the best of their ability, the right to live that life freely as long as it did not infringe on he rights of others, and the right to pursue happiness by effort to fulfill their desires.

Just as the King George wanted to oppress the people of America, today we have a big government that wants to oppress our freedom to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The government wants to replace those rights with the right to universal health care, the right to pay more in taxes, the right to pay more for energy, and the right to take away form the workers to give to the non-worker.

I am reminded of a verse in the Bible "you reap what you sow." Today we are reaping the harvest of pain, suffering, joblessness, and energy dependence, because our government, led by progressives and elitists, have planted the seeds of deceit. They have told the "poor and disenfranchised that they would be taken care of, as long as they could collect the taxes of the wealthy. They never told these people that they would become enslaved to these programs and that opportunity would die.

Today the middle and lower class families have little hope of striking out on their own to discover the bold new world. They are simply at the mercy of a big government that wants to control their lives forever. What kind of independence is that? Unfortunately, the more the government gives the more people want them to give and this is a form of sowing as well. we sow to our nature of laziness and a desire to be given the things that we want and need. Big government is winning. Through progressive programs we got welfare, food stamps, social security, medicare, medicaid, and many many other government programs that are supposed to make life better. However, the reality is that it has made life more difficult because more and more people are opting out of the work ethic and depending on government to live. 

I am not saying that we should abolish these programs but we must understand that many families have been destroyed because of this dependence. Truly Independence has been torn apart because of dependence on government. Some would say that the government is free to confiscate wealth to give to the poor and needy, I disagree, the Church and private institutions should be the ones to take care of the poor and needy. Teaching them to strong and independent. Obviously there are always going to be people who are totally dependent on others but those who have should be given the option of who their funds help. I should not be told that my tax dollars go to pay for things that I do not agree with, such as public radio, who raises millions of dollars through donations and still gets government money. This to me is a violation of my inalienable rights. When my money is taken to fund these programs and I have to sacrifice something that my family may need it irritates me.

 

The King of England had started increasing the taxes of the colonists beyond and above what was tolerable, so the people rebelled.

If our government continues in it's current people will rebel. Not necessarily with war, but certainly with words just as the Black Robed Regiment. I for one will be voicing my opinion about the course of government and calling for change in everyone from the President through the Senate and House of Representatives all the way down to local government. Because I still believe in our Independence Day. God Bless The United States of America and all of Her Citizens. 

Obama's Press conference 6/29/11

First, I must say that I do not believe a single word that comes out of Mr. Obama's Mouth. With that said I want to highlight a couple of things that he said in his press conference today.

He believes that Democrats and Republicans will reach an agreement on reasonable spending cuts and end tax cuts to the super wealthy and flourishing oil companies, avoiding  a looming and potentially catastrophic American default on it's debt.
It is obvious that Mr. Obama and the liberal party do not want a recovery, they want Americans to be slaves to "big government". What are reasonable spending cuts? Mr Obama has not made a list of acceptable cuts nor a plan to turn around this dismal economy. Yet, he wants to blame Republicans for trying to hurt middle and lower class families. What is happening to them right now under his administration? Jobs are being lost and more and more people are holding their hands out to the government because they have no recourse. Tax the super rich, the ones who create the jobs. Not just by employing people but through their buying habits. They go to restaurants where people are employed, they buy cars form companies that have employees. They travel to destinations that require workers to provide a service. They invest their money into the economy and that is what allows the so called lower and middle class to have jobs. Go ahead and take away some of that money and see what happens. The rich will not lose their riches, they will simply slow sown on some of the things they do in order to hold onto their wealth. Then who gets hurt? Us the little people that Mr. Obama and the democrats are always saying they fight for. What? Do your thing Dem's and more people will be hurt.
Next, Why does Mr. Obama think that oil companies are flourishing? Is it because they make such gross profits? their profit margin is a mere 8% and that is before they pay for research and development. If Obama wants to really help the economy, he would open the gulf back up to our drilling instead of the South Americans and Chinese. Also, there are rich oil reserves in our own country that continue to go untapped because of the cry of environmentalists(wackos).
Get a grip America, The progressive movement is out to destroy this country and all that we have stood for. Capitalism, freedom, and pursuit of happiness.
Mr. Obama also said, "Call me naive but I expect leaders to lead." When has he ever lead? He is always trying to ride in at the last minute to save the day. He is a follower, not a leader. He has never had any experience in business, nor did he study economics in school. Except Keynesian economics which have been proven to fail over and over again. You cannot spend your way out of a crisis.
Lead by example Mr. Obama,stop using tax payer dollars for your wife and children to go on lavish trips. $800,000 the last time. Stop using tax dollars for your czar positions that have not had to be approved by congress. Unfortunately your leadership example is to give your cronies authority to destroy i.e. EPA sets new regulations on coal causing many electric companies to shut down coal plants, or re-tool at very high costs so they will meet new emissions standards. These standards are all because of your belief in global warming, which has been debunked.  Who is going to pay for that? We the people!
America, do you want revolution? I hope it does not go that far. We need a common sense approach to solving these problems and we  are not getting this from the current government. We need true conservatives to take up the fight and we need to get rid of this president and the progressive democrats and republicans who are in congress right now.
God Bless America.

CBO Not Being Truthful About Debt

From Americans For Limited Government:

"CBO's Fuzzy Math

By Bill Wilson

On July 22, the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) issued its latest long-term projections on the growth of the national debt. Astonishingly, as bad as the numbers issued by the CBO were, the debt crisis the nation faces is even worse than we are being told.

The CBO analysis does not take into account the full $14.344 trillion national debt, nor does it reflect the $430 billion in gross interest payments we are paying every year.

Instead it only considers the $9.7 trillion 'debt held by the public'. That was cited by the CBO. What was not was the $4.6 trillion of debt owed to the Medicare and Social Security trust funds. Interest is owed to those programs similarly is not included.

These are real liabilities that the American people are expected to honor, and do honor under CBO's analysis. But because they are not revealed until 2024 and 2036, when the trust funds are fully exhausted, even the dire scenarios that are presented to the American people are actually rosy.

Why would the CBO leave this out of their analysis? Ostensibly, economists would counter that it's just money owed to ourselves, and not a share of debt held publicly. That, those obligations might be repudiated. So they shouldn't be counted until they come due."

How much longer are we going to allow the government to lie, making false claims about the problems we have with the budget and future of our nation? Too many people believe that The CBO is a non-partisan group, when in reality they are doing the bidding of the President. Mr. Obama believes that we can spend our way into prosperity. He wants us to increase the debt limit along with many of the democrats and a few of the republicans.  Let me ask you a question. If you were in trouble with your finances would it be wise to get another line of credit to extend your buying power? No that would not make any sense. Yet, we are being told that if we go beyond the debt limit we will go into default. Well, what do we think is going to happen if we continue to add to that debt? Will we ever be solvent again. The "buck" must stop here or our children and their children, and so on, will not have a prayer of a chance at opportunity of freedom.
Wake up America and let your congressmen and senators know that raising the debt ceiling is not an option. We must cut spending PERIOD!

The OneX Opportunity

I was recently told of this very unique and powerful way to earn an income from home. So I decided to check it out.
Since I have tried so many other work at home programs I was sure this would be another bust. However, when I found that the only investment in this is  a one time $5.00 I thought what the heck I'll give it a try.
What a great choice. Since I joined some 500 people have joined after me and I think I will actually make money at this one.
If you are needing to add some income to your current situation five dollars is not a lot to invest to make as much as $99,000. Go to http://onex.me/kenfr3230  and give it a try.
Thanks

The Monkey In The Room-Abortion

Many people believe that the fundamental difference between Republicans and Democrats is the abortion issue. I would like to address this issue. First I am not for abortion, I think it is wrong and very harmful. Not only to the life that is taken away, but also to the woman who goes through with the act.
I Have counseled several women who have gone through this and here from them, "I cannot live with this choice it hurts so bad." "God will never forgive me." I tell them that God will always forgive because He loves them even when they make bad choices.
Back to the issue. You cannot legislate morality, no matter how hard you try you cannot force people to make choices of this type based on Law. They will always rebel when they feel they have no options. If a woman wants to have an abortion she will do it because she has the "right" under the current law. Unfortunately, many people who call themselves "christian" then look down on them and condemn them for that choice. Stop that!! We need to love these women and help them to overcome the psychological issues they will face after.
As for the law, I think we should overturn Roe v. Wade and stop federally funding abortions. Leave the issue to the individual states where the power is supposed to exist under the constitution. When we de-fund abortion many of the women who go tho planned parenthood will then begin to think about their choice because my tax dollars will not be paying for their abortions. I know this sounds harsh, but this will give women a chance to see both sides of the issue instead of rushing into the "choice" and suffering needlessly afterward.
Abortion is the supposed easy way out but  it truly leaves lasting scares. Many, maybe all of these children would have been adopted or accepted and never got that chance. Let's stop using this a political tool for the parties and get back to common sense and moral absolutes.

30 million barrels from the Strategic Petro Reserve

Hot off the email line from Heritage Foundation

"President Obama Abuses Nation's Oil Reserves

When it comes to making bad energy policy decisions, President Obama is a pro. Yesterday was no exception when the Obama Administration announced it would release 30 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is part of an agreement with the International Energy Agency (IEA) to put a total of 60 million barrels on the market in the next 30 days. Another 27 nations will make up the other half of the oil needed.

President Obama and the IEA first explained this irresponsible action by noting a supply disruption as a result of the war in Libya. However, this disruption does not justify the depletion of the SPR, and the Administration doesn't have the legal rationale, either. The White House slightly changed its tune late yesterday when Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters it was meant as protection against increasing gas prices over the summer driving season."

Does anybody think this is going to have an affect for a long period of time. the only thing this will do is reduce the amount of reserve we have when there is a real emaergency. I think this is a ploy on the part of Mr. Obama to make his poll ratings go up for the summer and he can say look what I did for you. Just like "I shot Osama Bin Laden."
Why are we not taalking seriously about drilling in the Bakkens and other oil reserves in our own nation? Duh! It is the environmentalists who fight for mother earth. It is okay if other countries drill, even in the Gulf Of Mexico, but not us. We must take the "moral" high road and save the planet. Damn the human population, they are the ones who destroyed it in the first place,, let them do without.
Well I say enough. We cannot replace oil with electric if we are closing power plants.(see my earlier post) Solar and Wind make up less than 8% of the current energy production and is projected to only reach a maximum of 25%. How will we recharge our electrric cars. We will not make up the short fall of demand by releasing a few barrels for the STR. We are being dupped by this administration because they believe we are stupid enough to fall for thier "truth" which is a lie. Many of the current Republicans are just as bad as Democrats because they believe thay have the power to rule over us.

Are we sheep or are we Americans. Take a stand an fight the Elitists in government. Let's take back our Nation the land of the free and the home of the brave, where opportunity abounds and people can still make something of thier lives.
God Bless America!!!

Another Bailout

The EU is looking into giving Greece another bailout of at least 157 billion dollars. The US is right in the mix with Mr. Obama saying that is is necessary to maintain the stability of world markets. but , I ask, How can we continue to bail out other countries when our economy is in such a disaster? Wouldn't we be better off serving our own people first? We need more jobs, lower gas prices, both we can get by simply drilling in our own country. We keep throwing more and more money into the pot and expect things to get better if we are not doing the first things first.
The thing I see in all of this is a push into a one world monetary system. You see the more countries that get bailouts the more countries that have to participate until every country is in the same situation and the world economy collapses. Then the ruling class in the world will roll out the single world monetary unit and there you have it . The next step is one world government.
I say we should stand and fight if we want to hold to our nations sovereignty and keep our freedoms.
What do you say?
