One For Him and One for Me

An old Bible of mine was sitting there and I decided to just open it up and gain whatever wisdom it would yield for my daily edification. Well, it opened right up to a section that had been torn out ) :

On the one side I was in was Psalms and what I read I wish I could ask our President to read and if he really is a Christian to base what he thinks is best for our country upon and obey himself. On the other side was Isaiah (it was a rather large swath of pages torn asunder) and I saw a passage for me, my friends, and actually for everybody in this world.

First: Psalm 119 Samech

SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.
	119:114		Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
	119:115		Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
	119:116		Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
	119:117		Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
	119:118		Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood.
	119:119		Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
	119:120		My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. And then for me and my friends and everyone else in the world: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Its All Greek to Me

We reel from crisis to crisis, losing freedom every step of the way. What a world we live in...

MisGuided and Law Abiding

Im now convinced Obama is absolutely set on destroying our country. Look at what we are up against. How will we ever get past the hyperbole and mis/dis information when the top newsmaker gets to set the tone and the tenor? His agenda is the liberal press' too, so I am sure we will only hear about how unfair Arizona is because they want the Law of the land upheld.

Arizona has spoken and they want the immigration laws enforced. If the President and Congress or his Buds at Goldman Sachs were having their livelihoods compromised by illegal workers you can bet they would put a stop to it immediately. Everybody that is American and in construction? You are out of luck, defending your industry and profession is misguided and what? Racist? Thats an easy smear that will gain the nod from the illiterate dummies who dont even pay attention to what is happening to our demographics and our border. We have effectively been invaded and all Obama sees are future Democrat voters. So the pandering and destruction continues and our honorable pact between the governing and the governed seems more grey and dying, and... cheaters prosper. Obama seems to be taunting the conservatives and baiting US into civil war. Maybe thats the purpose of all this seemingly disconnected tumultuous policy making.

+A Nation of Laws ~ We only have to follow the laws we feel like following, except paying our taxes and Unless we work for the administration

+Immigration ~ Arizonas prop 187 Watch Obama overturn this one.

+Grand Theft Generational ~ They already are admitting that it will cost more, and more, and more.

+VAT ~ If you cant make your budget work you need revenue, don't try to cut the spending, just shake down the taxpayers.

+SEC ~ So busy looking at porn they could argue with Barney Frank that Fannie and Freddie were ready to burst.

+ Cap and TAX ~ a perfect economy killer, better to fight a phantom crisis than a real known enemy like Radical Islamists.

= The Death of the American Dream ~ We have been going Socialist fotr generations and we wont even realize our freedom has evaporated because it has been such a slow drain. But now its obvious, we are being enslaved. By a grinning pied piper to boot.

Observations

Hypocrisy is alive and well in the media reporting establishment. The President takes more money than anyone from the very firm he then vilifies, and doesn't get called on it? At the very least the timing of the inquisition should draw scrutiny. Yet it does not, why no curiosity? Dodd, Frank and everyone who uses the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and the Government should be held to a higher standard. Is it any wonder that 80% of this country distrust this Government? And by that I mean the Republicrats and the Demicans.

God won't be mocked.

Obama has made his position clear on Israel and where he will fall in line when the Earths Armies all line up in the prophetic Plain of Megiddo. I am so appalled to have to consider this man the leader of my country and fear he will bring Gods judgement upon US. Obama has unmasked himself to be a Jack Christian. Opportunistic is what our President has always been standing upon. Claiming Christianity as a cover to get elected in this Christian nation, claiming black when that suits his needs, playing rich with his rich buds and poor to the ghetto, what a chameleon and a phony. If the people would have really looked into who this man was by his actions not his rhetoric and disguise we would not all be so surprised at where his leadership has brought US. Watch what the other hand is doing. We are gearing up for a Supreme court fight but trading a lib for a lib is not really newsworthy, we need to be aware of the freedom we are losing behind the scenes as we hyperventilate about the economy health care and the tea party movement. All things must be paid attention to but the big picture is still that Obama is in the process of dismantling the country before he can rebuild it. The Democratic process is jettisoned and Obama will make as much change as he can before he loses majorities in November. Amnesty and the Banking takeover will pose grave risks to a fragile economy and the cap and tax may be retried in the Senate. The scorched earth policy the Democrat Party is favoring is alarming and a call to Americans to stand on our constitution as never before.

The environment is a living entity that can lay low all the plans and efforts of humankind and remove all traces of our inhabitation in a blip if that is how things are to proceed. It is vain and even imperious to believe that we can control the environment. The only way we can change the environment would be to not exist anymore. No matter what, our existence will cause some ripple. If we go back to pre industrial age living standards we will still burn would for heat and have to live off the land any way we can. And there are billions here on the planet now. Let US transition to a new energy carefully and with minimal effect on the economy. Poorer nations always pollute more, because everybody will do whatever it takes to survive. We have enough energy within our sovereign borders to transition, why are our leaders so reticent to use what is needed. Raising taxes on energy will destroy any chance to experiment and grow our way to a better future. It is a strong economy that enables invention and raising taxes now will kill the economy right as it is struggling, in spite of Obama and the Democrats policies, to do what a free market economy will do all by itself, grow and expand.

Lets Make a Deal

Ever see a country self annihilate? Its happening right here, right now. The Washington(DC) crowd is being emulated by the California crowd and the New Jersey crowd and of course, the Illinois crowd. Throw in Florida and New York and what is that? Practically half the country, populationwise. I swear I am witnessing insanity on a mass scale. Who is emulating who, though? States cannot print money, so they are really the first to go and the first to know. Its like the Federal Government is egging US on, "Go ahead we can spend like there's no tomorrow, so you can too" Is it because there is no tomorrow? Are we just getting promised all the goodies for free now so when our freedom is required and we feel we must give something. And yet have nothing but our freedom left to give? By the time we receive what we are being sold out for I doubt it will be worth any price, whatever that price ends up being.

There's a juvenilistic deans list dreamer in The Peoples House. A sophomore who feels he can do an all night bs session with his frat buds propounding themes of equality and grandeur yet he has never had a real world accomplishment beyond getting elected to a public office, and an autobiography or two. He sees others views on life and death matters as inferior to his own if they disagree. His contempt for the nascent wisdom of any contrary idea to his own illustrates his close mind, condescension and true lack of wisdom trying to coalesce a unanimous stance when this whole country and other countries are put at risk by his unilateral compulsion.

He is wheeling and dealing our future and our kid's kids' future right down the 'ole rat hole. Affirmative action is one heavy two edged sword, it gets you so far and then if you don't have what it takes, you are in over your head, sunk. Exactly where the Anti-Bush is right now. Its good that Obama is not like Bush in all ways, yet in all the ways it would be better for Obama to be less like Bush he is just like him or even out-Bushing Bush himself! At least we can't blame the current rate of decline on faux conservatism. This is leftism and socialism on steroids. This is an intellectuals dream, a problem that can never be solved but will always have the appearance of being solved by more liberalism and more money shovelled in the general vicinity. Bush set the stage for this mess we are now in and opened the flood gates to spend away our future. Obama has blown up the dam, released the hounds, damn the torpedoes, and its Utopia or bust. The writing is on the wall where we end up going down this path. Give up all hope ye who enter here.

Why, we ask, are we weakening our defense capability right now when we are also weakening our economic ability to project power and authority? To whom are these concessions really being made? We can't even defend our borders properly yet we will trust a recently vanquished adversary to put down their weapons if we do first? We telegraph what our response will be if attacked, for what end? Isn't the uncertainty of what nuclear weapons can do and will bring what MAD was all about? Where is there a nuclear threat right now? It is bubbling up from a wannabe who will never sign any treaty. And even if they did sign on it would be worthless. Our friends are being slighted and offended while our foes are being elevated to a credibility they neither have nor deserve. To what end I ask? The answer is frightening and becoming more clear with every new front that Obama assaults our freedom and liberty on.

There is a score that our President wants to settle with "his" Country. The enslavement of the Middle Class would be a nice feather in his multi-cultural hat. The redistribution of the wealth in this country is the most obvious, and stated by Obama himself, goal. I am certain that Obama and this bunch of Leftists have a New World Order in mind, and the only thing standing in the way is the Old World Order. We are no longer a Christian nation in our elected officials eyes. That is what we are witnessing right now, the taking down and dismantling of everything that was. What these leftists are exchanging US for I am certain they do not even yet realize. They can never imagine all the unintended consequences of their foolish fantasies. Their eyes are not opened yet. Just like the Health Care reform, we wont know what's in it until we pass it.

Happy Easter

Spring is time for rebirth, new beginnings, recommitment to the Lord, Family and also remembering everything that Easter stands for. Jesus Christ triumphed over death and His victory over Satan reconciled us to The Father. We live because he died in our place and paid the price once for all humanities failings.

With another chance to feel Gods grace we can attempt to serve him and our fellow man as best we can. With honesty, love, and the bravery to withstand all the trouble that life can put us through.

True hearts draw one another nearer.

Black Jack or a Red Hot Poker In the Eye?

Witness the last few weeks of Politics as Usual. Some observations that come to my mind are how much it is all like being at the casino.

Pit boss Pelosi has surveyed the floor and likes what she sees. The Marks are all lined up waiting to get in the game and take their chance at the Government's Progressive Jackpot. The House has the favorable odds right now, but will it pay if they lose their bet? The gambling is on the long odds that the little guys can never ante up to get their big payout. Its a long shot that any one can win... but if all the stooges win at the same time it will break the bank for sure.

As I walk through the rows of one armed bandits I see people betting 15 credits on a dollar machine, and 300$ disappears in less than 5 minutes, wow! Max bet on the 5c. machine will take you down fast, too. The safe way to play is the one line on the penny machine or the 2c. machine, but that is the slow spiral down to zero, I don't think one in a thousand win that way.

Over at the card tables the real gamblers know how to manage their money and have a better shot at taking something home. When all else fails the House will always use the race card if they feel their position is not strong enough to win. Win lose or draw it is all pre determined that the house has the upper hand and will always outlast even the most determined effort to pile up the chips. They have the computers, the closed circuit TV, the psychological profiles and the house bank as their stronghold. Advertisements run all day with only a passing mention of help for the addict. They are forcing US to double down to break even and in the end even that is a victory that is unattainable and less satisfying if won. Even when we lose they bring the hammer down

Over at the roulette table 0 and 00 can clear out any of those systems that cover the board. As crappy as the odds are

Keno is my favorite, it is slow paced and usually break even at best. Rolling the dice and inevitably its seven.

But all things considered, if you want to keep your own money the best bet is to stay away from Pelosi's Casino, gambling, or 'something(anything) for nothing'.

When the Shoe is on the Other Foot

Liberals and Democrats, progressives, Liberal Democrats, and Leftists of all stripes seem to not understand the most basic fundamental of our Political system. It is that power does not always stay in the same hands and while majorities come and go there is a lower place to sink in our political spectrum. There is, or used to be, a golden rule an ethical imaginary line not crossed because what goes around will come full circle. A Karmic Boomerang in the most secular humanist sense imaginable.

We have seen last week how a Political goal of a hundred years was achieved by parliamentary chicanery and tactical subterfuge. Americans are now subject to the Government at our most basic and vulnerable point. I see why it would be a point of attack for the leftists. It is the umbrella we all fall under, the golden lasso surrounds US all, now.

Personally I may benefit from this new system before it becomes the albatross that permanently cements my place in the collective. I lost my personal health insurance due to a horrid economy. I don't want the government to give it back to me. I want to earn it back when I can afford it. The government cant even do its most basic jobs properly, like securing our border from invasion. Like spending within its own limits of scope responsibility and revenue. Why would anybody think they can do better with health care for all when Medicare and Medicaid are going bankrupt right now? Social Security and even our deteriorating infrastructure are evidence this Government needs to shrink, not grow.

I have seen a vision of our future here in America and it is still the darkest of the night just before the Dawn. I pray sanity returns to the voters this November and we begin to swing the pendulum back the other way, there is so little time and so little room for error anymore.

A Government this big will fail, it is failing.

Whither We go Yonder or; Wither, We going Under

Greece was an original Western Country in thought and in all political freedoms and enlightenments. It seems fitting to me that they would be the ones of the Western Democracies who must first pass back through the Rubicon.

So many countries are teetering at the abyss, one more nice economic meltdown and all hell breaks loose. California is lucky that Greece will lead the way so maybe the people here can see it and do something before we are right there, below the tide. It is comical that the safety net became the hammock for the Government workers and lazy citizens and now look at how they cry when they kill their own Golden Goose. It is happening right here in the once great state of California. The takers are complaining and pitching fits that more needs to be done, when it is all that largesse, bleeding heart compassion and overspending that has brought US to the brink of ruin. You can always find someone in dire straits, and if you make it policy to give a handout to every downtrodden, why, the number grows exponentially. There's a reason they say in Jellystone,"Don't feed the Bears". Throwing money at a problem seems to be the 'progressives' only course of action.

Government programs and more Government programs only beget more bureaucracy, red tape and bloated cumbersome hurdles for our economy. The answer is always raising taxes and spending more, especially if you want to destroy an economy, or just attempt to make a political party look bad. The Democrats tried that under Bush thinking with a little positive hype it could all be turned around on a dime for Obama, only now that one thin dime is all the change thats spared.

California came off a brilliant economic run of 10 years and the legislature never put a dime away for the end of the bull run. It was always spending more every year, always more. We fired a Governor because of out of control budgets and spending and he was replaced by a tough guy that caved in at the first bit of resistance. Government grew at a much faster rate than anything else during the roaring times from 2003 to 2007 except for the population of illegal immigrants flooding over our southern border and effectively invading our country.

In 2007 the federal Government had a budget that was only 170 billion$ deficit, I say only because now we may never see anything that good for 10 years or more, according to this administration. So why not just go back and adopt the 2007 budget straight out? Say sorry, there is no more money~ what programs were implemented between then and now that are indispensable? I would be happy to go back to my 2007 budget and make a go of things, I bet I could do it, easy.

Agree or Disagree

I have had people tell me I think too much about Obama and politics. Friends, acquaintances, and family have said I am even obsessed. I have known people to be obsessed with Presidents in the past, people who I had disagreements with on various issues(social and political). I felt they were obsessed and blaming Bush for many things out of his scope of reach. Maybe the same thing is happening right now with this President and myself?

I know full well that no President can take all the credit or all the blame for everything. That would be ridiculous to suggest. However, a President does set the mood. A President can either use Government to set up roadblocks or get out of the way. A President has enormous power to expand Government, intrude and shape markets by power of taxes, spending priorities, bills signed into law, threats of meddling, threats of raising taxes, threats of bureaucracy, and changing the law whenever they feel it necessary. Not to mention foreign policy and basic uncontrollable world events and how correct actions spell positive or negative ramifications for all of US. Evidence no President has that much power is the testament that Obama has not already done more damage. We can and will overcome these current setbacks, it is just a question of how far we will fall before we pick ourselves up and with common sense start over again.

I have never looked for a President to do any more or any less than what was in our Nations best interests. I also want my President to be flexible enough to assess conditions and enact the electorates desire as much as is good and as is logical given the fact we are over 350 million people. Obama was voted in for changes sake. He mistook what he was given as the benefit of the doubt as to his partisanship and ran on to remake the country. The problem was his opaque candidacy and vague and diaphanous record did not let voters understand where the man really stood on any issue that mattered to the country at large. Now he has to present himself and the issues all at once and there is a disconnect from the will of the people. People want to like the man, he was voted in on an affirmative action reservation. But we want what is good for the whole country, not just the same demonized special interests who are now, comically, Obamas bedfellows.

The economy is the engine that makes this country tick, without money we are about as likely to succeed as Mexico. Social programs are killing Western countries one by one and soon we will see all the evidence we need when Greece and Spain take down the EU. The state of California is a prime example of what too many promises and not enough real work getting done will lead to. Governor Schwarzenegger has failed almost as spectacularly as Obama will and I believe that is why he is coming out in defense of the misguided un~American policy the Democrat Party is hosting everywhere.

More than likely with all our tech and manufacturing going overseas this country will have to become agricultural in order to survive. Maybe then we will focus on our own energy and strengthen ourselves on ourselves. Who knows if the rest of the world can thrive while we take a break from policing the world and find ourselves again. I imagine that will be the final shakedown into the one world Government and I see it happening within 10 years. Obama is kind of our interim steward, a catalyst, who will prepare US for our descent into the sea of Nations.

The Power and the Glory

Our planet Earth is so much more able to defend herself and re start on a new path I just laugh when Scientists try to claim that we can somehow alter the Planets destiny. Maybe we can alter our own destiny on this Planet but even then it would not be too long before all memory of our civilization were erased until some future generation of Archeologists dug up our ruins. The blip that is this modern growth spurt is one heartbeat on the grand scale of everything this planet has seen or will see in the next billion years.

How many times can it start again?

As many times as it wants to.

Beauty and Tragedy

All that is so awesome about being a human being was summed up at the Opening ceremony at the Vancouver Olympics last night. The day began by illustrating the frailty and vulnerability even our champions must endure. By the time the Ceremony was complete we saw a most beautiful host in all their glory, the creative genius of artists and choreographers, a stunning show with history and balance. We saw the hopefulness around the world celebrating excellence and comradery.

We saw the human spirit and how beautiful it can be.

Beware of What You Say

I guess I should extend sympathies when I see someone trying to do the right thing, but still stepping in it. It is so difficult to even bring up the subject of weight and children anymore without offending someone's sensitivities or inviting disorder. Michelle Obama should really know better than to use her own children as an example, didn't the school grade fiasco teach the Obamas how its impossible to draw attention to the first kids without risking embarrassment to the children or to themselves? It is not wise at all to mention a young girls weight, even with the best intentions and full knowledge that there is no problem there.

Sensitivities are so thin and the pressure in this world is so tough, a complex is just waiting to be hatched even from the most benign of comments. I believe stressing the ability to create the bodies we want if we are willing to work hard for it is the key to mental peace. And eating right should be the goal of every person, no matter what state of physical condition they are in at the moment. And we need to teach the children everything is easier to control when they are small, but it can become impossible if nothing is done when we have our chance.

Weasel Words

Harry Reid has got to go, what is his plan after he gets voted out? Is it the same thing he plans for Americans in general, depicted in the photo above?

If this is leadership I would hate to see him shirk.

Call Me a Skeptic

We can't trust Iran as far as we can throw them, and it seems as if our Foreign Policy has become designed to eliminate our ability to throw anything anywhere, nowadays. I fear that the smokescreen is going up and Obama is going to react to the head fake and next week something will have changed, in a big way.

I know there is always a certain level of bluster emanating from The Islamic Republic, but not to take them at their words on their very real intentions is folly. The only thing we can count on is their incompetence, and that, as seen here by our own Government's budgetary game of 3 card Monte is as reassuring as a heart attack, and just as serious.

Iran is employing the typical Islamascist superstition of dates begetting motivation begetting attacks. For all their supposed spiritualist beliefs in Mohammad and Allah, and Mahdi they seem unbelievably numerological and materialistic and one dimensional when it comes to their violent dealings in the physical world.

I wonder sometimes if Iran isn't just the proxy that Russia or China is employing, a pawn with the nerve to get in the face of the US, and stir the pot. And now with Obama at the helm we are as likely to apologize for standing up for ourselves and the Free worlds vital interests as to topple this pathetic Dictatorship. At the worst, Iran can expect another ultimatum and date setback and therefore they will just keep moving forward in their attempt to get actionable nuclear weapons.

Even a broken clock is right 2x a day.

Incompetence is as incompetence does, evil that lies in wait and is undisturbed may eventually bear it's rotten fruit.

Ignoring a problem won't make it go away.

Hold your friends close and your enemies even closer~~~

Be prepared Americans, our ride is going to get even bumpier. And, our Leadership is as close to as clueless as has ever been or will ever be again.

CrestFallen

Our President is so out of touch with the electorate my bewilderment is inducing vertigo. Obama is going populist, railing now against banks. The scapegoated revenant Big Insurance is stepping aside to allow Obama to fix his offensive on Big Financial. Big Pharma or Big Farma?? I wonder if Obama and Warren Buffet worked out as plan to sell short early last week after the devastating loss in Massachusetts. When Obama speaks the markets listen. Obama has begun to treat all Americans who disagree with his positions like 6th graders, to be lectured at.

Zeroing in on Hugo and Venezuela

The US earthquake machine is finding its range, and Hugo was wrong! Our primary target was him. Conspiracy theorists are evidently everywhere.

Our Special Interests...

...Are our ability to stay solvent and prosper, maybe just to survive.

Mr. Populist is turning my stomach every time I hear him speak now. He says he lost connection with the American people, he says he knows what we are battling through out here, he blames special interests for the buzz saw effect he ran into last week. It is all so much campaign Obama. That is all we will ever get from this man. I am afraid I can see further into the ramifications of his policies that damage and destroy wealth and policies that could actually help improve our economy than he can. That scares the hell out of me. Because I don't know much, just a bit more than living in the real reality. And I realize I have been blessed with common sense and Obama seems like all he was blessed with is the ability to read a teleprompter and the twin powers of persuasion and deception.

The way he proclaims its not about him and his tone and inflection says that is all everything is about, is him. I almost get the feeling that after the big loss in Massachusetts he is in hyperdrive to complete his agenda as quickly as possible, and I fear that agenda is dismantling America in order to rebuild it the way his pea brain sees fit.

If the Republicans don't take the bait, Emperor Obama will complete his own populist argument and illustrate precisely who we must oppose.

November will come just in the nick of time, and 2012 is not too far after that.

Blue Monday, Red Tuesday?

Massachusetts is in an honorable position of restoring our Democracy today. I must say I am a little jealous. My vote in the tin state of California has been discounted for years. My voice of protest has been drowned by the caterwauling throng of pillagers and plunderers for most of my adult life. We have led the way down to the bottom here on the left side of the country while New England States have over on the right side. The special election today gives Mass. a chance to start the correction and maybe turn the Titanic away from the iceberg.

It seems fitting to me that the place where the Revolution began gets the chance to stave off the new ruination right on the threshold of our demise. A much needed system of checks and balances has gone unchecked for a whole year, 3 if you count the lame duck descent of George W. Bush. In Massachusetts, like California, it has gone on much longer. Americans cherish their freedom and liberty above all else and the Obamacrats have tried to over reach their mandate from day 1. Just like the Republicans and Bush did in 2004. But since the Republicans have never had a controlling majority we never saw the extent of their strategies. And in the end maybe thats for the best because Conservatism has not been run aground and discredited yet. Although the Republicans were hardly Conservative. I wonder if Democrats think Obama Pelosi Reid are hardly liberal?

I will watch the returns today and pray that sanity begins to creep back into our political structure starting with the will of the people, and also pray that Gods will be done in this, as in all things. Our nation used to have a divine blessing and now I am not so sure. But God never abandoned Israel, and since we are still and always will be a great force for good in the world, I have supreme faith that God will not abandon US now.

Voting is the lifeblood of Democracy, use it or lose it.

Get out and vote!

World News Watch January 18, 2009 AD

If this works for Martha our Nation is in more trouble than I ever imagined.

Not the colour of ones skin but the content of their character is my personal favorite.

Obamas model is one of failure and impotence.

Martha also said the terrorists are gone, luckily Obamas eyes are opened up to the reality and I think that is why his hair is going grey so fast.

The world keeps turning toward sanity, and we continue to the left and into the ditch? but wait... there's still hope!

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it? Obama did inherit what he had a hand in creating though.

Good News out there, the peace prize has payed dividends.

Not done yet, the Earth is shuddering and the widespread possibilities of disaster are not relegated to Haiti alone.

And why aren't the Haitians being treated at the greatest Medical paradise in the world? Their next door neighbors? That makes sense.

Sounds like monkey business to me.
