Today I read an article where Obama plans to invest in more green jobs. You can read the story here. According to the article "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he is “sure” President Obama will offer specific proposals for boosting energy-related jobs in next week’s big speech on job creation."
Let's take a look at what investing in "green jobs" has done so far. According to an article written on August 22, 2011: "A federal stimulus grant of nearly $500,000 to grow trees and stimulate the economy in Nevada yielded a whopping 1.72 jobs, according to government statistics."
Take a moment to think about what this does to birds.

Obama and racism
I read stories today of "Black Teen Mobs Target St. Louis Cyclists in Knock-Out Game" read the story here. And the story today of more "African Americans" being involve with "flash mobs" According to the article, "The brutality in Denver is disturbingly similar to violence occurring elsewhere, nationwide. In the last few months alone, a young white lady named Shaina Perry was taunted and beaten in Milwaukee. A young white man named Carter Strange had his skull fractured by a mob in South Carolina. Dawid Strucinski was beaten into a coma by a mob in Bayonne. Anna Taylor, Emily Guendelsberger, and Thomas Fitzgerald were beaten and kicked to the ground in separate Philadelphia flash mobs. Every weekend in July, mobs have attacked in Greensboro, NC. In a mostly-white suburb of Cleveland, witnesses reported large groups of "teens" walking through the streets, "shouting profanities and racial epithets," and one man was viciously beaten while leaving a restaurant with his wife and friends. In all of those cases, the victims were white and the attackers were black." Read the entire article here.
It reminded me of an article I read where it stated: "You are essentially having a world where you have 25 million people who are underemployed and 2 percent of the population doing better than they ever have," Taplin said. "Why wouldn't that lead to some sort of social unrest? Why wouldn't people use the latest technologies to effect that?" Read the article here.
These stories remind me (again) of Saul Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals". In his book it is written: "The organizer dedicated to changing the life of a particular community must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community: fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act." We all know the best way to accomplish this goal is to use race.
Other statements in his book "Rules for Radicals" Alinsky writes: "The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach – to create, to be a “great creator,” to play God.." Remember the reports on TV, the internet and new articles such as this one, " Is Barack Obama the Messiah?" which was written on Jan. 31, 2007. You can read the story here.
Let's not forget all Obama's inspiring speeches during his campain of "Hope and Change". In "Rules for Radicals", yes, once again, Alinsky writes: "It is not enough to persuade them of your competence, talents, and courage - they must have faith in your ability and courage. They must believe in your capacity not just to provide the opportunity for action, power, change, adventure, a piece of the drama of life, but to give a very definite promise, almost an assurance of victory."
I am grateful to Glenn Beck for suggesting that people read this book. It has been a real eye opener for me, in understanding what has happened and what to expect. Now I know how to prepare for the future and what to look for.

Disasters
Today as I reflect on the events that have occurred this week. The earthquake and the Hurricane along the east coast. I can't help but think of "entitlements". Why does these events make me think of entitlements? Well, how many states are waiting on FEMA or federal money to come in and help out?
We think that disasters won't happen to us. When they do, we look to the government for help. We have gotten spoiled. We think we are "entitled" to get gifts for birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversity, and the list continues. Why should we take on personal responsibilities, when the government or someone else will do it? The only thing we are entitiled to is Life, Liberty, and the persuit of happiness.
We should NEVER rely on the government to help us out. We should think more for ourselves and prepare. Remember, what money the government gives out is our money and we have no say on how it is spent. Remember when Katrina hit? Some people got money who did not spend it wisely. They spent it on themselves and not for what they needed.
How can we stop it? Very simple. Take responsibilty for yourself. Prepare. Save money. Do you really need the latest gadget? Yeah, they are fun to have, but, do you really NEED it? We need to sit back and put our priorities first. We need to be able to take care of ourselves and not rely on the government. It's only common sense.
Natural disasters happen. That is life. But, if we plan and prepare, we can take care of what we need and not have to wait for the government to help out. In the old days, before government got involved, if there was a disaster, family, friends and communities helped each other.
This past week, my neighbors house caught on fire. They lost just about everything they had in their house. As neighbors, my husband and I pulled together with the neighbors and helped fight the fire until the fire departments got here and took over. As they clean up and try to recover what is salvageable, we will be there to help. That is how things should work.

Obama's Executive Order for Mandating Racial Favoritism
A couple of days ago I read this article where Obama issued an Executive order for "Mandating Racial Favoritism". According to the article, in the Executive order 13583, "Our Nation derives strength from the diversity of its population and from its commitment to equal opportunity for all. We are at our best when we draw on the talents of all parts of our society, and our greatest accomplishments are achieved when diverse perspectives are brought to bear to overcome our greatest challenges."
Personally, I couldn't agree more. The problem I have is wondering, if you are required to have a certain number of races in your department, will they be qualified enough? I have known many instances where in order to follow "Affirmative Action" rules, qualifications had to be lowered. I could care less what color your skin is or where you come from as long as you are qualified. What this all means is that employers, whether public, private, or government, you have little to no choice who you hire.
The article points out " As the Nation's largest employer, the Federal Government has a special obligation to lead by example." Let us not forget that as the Federal Government grows employment opportunities as grows the unions. The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal workers, and the Senior Executives Association, the group representing federal executives. "The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union representing 600,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas." See the list of federal agencies associated with this union here.
Now, this agency is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, which is headed by Richard Trumka. Who is Richard Trumka and why should we care? Richard Trumka's only motive is to grow the unions. Now this would be fine if their reasons for growing the unions is to help the people. That is not the case. The unions want control of every worker not only here in the U.S. but the entire world. Not to mentions all the power that goes with it.
All this reminds me once again of Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals. Whose views are being implemented not only by Obama, but, the unions as well. Where in the book, Saul Alinsky writes: "

If we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default." " We will start with the system because there is no other place to start from except political lunacy It is most important for those of us who want revolutionary change to understand that revolution must be preceded by reformation." " A revolutionary organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of their lives – agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values, to produce, if not a passion for change, at least a passive, affirmative, non-challenging climate." Notice the word "affirmative".
In Rule 8 pertaining to the ethics of means and ends, in his book: "is that the morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory." Have you seen the poll numbers of Obama's approval rating lately? According to the daily Rasmussen Poll dated August 27 "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 22% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president." You can see the poll here.

Obama and Warren Buffett
Not long ago, I wrote a blog where Warren Buffett wanted to be taxed more. Here is the story. Now there is an article about Warren Buffett once again. "Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says he wants Congress to raise his taxes…But his company Berkshire Hathaway has not paid the back taxes it owes." According to the article “The company has been short-changing the tax collection agency for much of the past decade. Mr. Buffett’s company has not fully settled its tax bills from 2002-2009. Yet he says he’d happily pay more. Except the IRS has apparently been asking him to pay more going on nine years.”
Warren Buffett is also hosting a $35,000 Obama Seminar. According to the article "Billionaire Warren Buffett will host an “economic forum” fundraiser for President Barack Obama in New York City next month with VIP tickets topping out at $35,800 a head, reports the New York Post." Read the article here.
Now I know that Political candidates need to raise money, and lots of it, but, I have to wonder about the connection between these two. What position will Warren Buffett be given at the White House if Obama is re-elected? What is in it for him? After all, Obama is well known to return favors for his big contributors. Warren Buffett may be an intelligent man and works wonders in the market, but, what is he up to?

Obama and Social Security
I was reading this story about "Wall Street aristocracy got $1.2 TRILLION in Fed's secret Loans" "Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s unprecedented effort to keep the economy from plunging into depression included lending banks and other companies as much as $1.2 trillion of public money, about the same amount U.S. homeowners currently owe on 6.5 million delinquent and foreclosed mortgages. The largest borrower, Morgan Stanley (MS), got as much as $107.3 billion, while Citigroup took $99.5 billion and Bank of America $91.4 billion, according to a Bloomberg News compilation of data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, months of litigation and an act of Congress." Read the story here.
I remembered this story "Obama Administration Bankrolls Massive Internet Propaganda Campaign to Push Obamacare" "According to a budget summary prepared by Ogilvy, from October 2010 through February 2011, the Obama administration spent $1,435,009 on these online advertisements alone, including advertising campaigns with Google and Yahoo, almost $300,000 per month." Read the story here.
Knowing that millions of citizens relying on Social Security for their retirement or disability, it would have been a good move to have put the money that was spent for promoting Obamacare, on Big Banks, and sending money overseas, the money should have gone to Social Security. Instead we got threats of Social Security checks may not go out if the debt ceiling wasn't raised and the budget passed. Working citizens have paid into Social Security and are entitled to it.
I am again reminded of the book "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky "Remember the rule - the threat is often more effective than the tactic itself, but only if you are so organized that the establishment know not only that you have the power to execute the tactic but that you definitely will.
Now we hear that Social Security disability is on the verge of insolvency by 2017. Read the story here. Let's not forget "Social Security wrongly declares 14,000 people dead each year". Read the story here. The Social Security Administration is government run as we all know. The more the government gets involved the worse things get.

Maxine Waters and her rants
The latest rant from California Representative Maxine Waters, who also serves on the "Congressional Black Caucus"' saying that, "as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell", Read more: here, and her other rant ""Our people are hurting," Read it here. It reminds me of "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky.
After reading this book, it is my opinion, that the methods that are described are using the disadvantaged and/or the most vulnerable people. What do I mean by that? Well, as stated many times in the book, many of the “uprisings” that were used to explain how to organize and get the “followers” were to use minorities, such as African Americans and Native Americans. Mainly anyone who is on the welfare system. These people were exploited by using tactics that “played” on their emotions. This occurs today, by using “children” and “animals”. Remember the use of Polar bears to inform us of the dangers of Global Warming, now being called “Climate Change”? What a concept, changing the name from Global Warming to Climate Change, after all, if you think about it, climate does change daily. Just like we have a temperature, but, not necessarily a fever.
I encourage you to read this book for yourself and form your own opinion. I do not by any means advocate using any of the methods described in the book. I do advocate educating yourself on these methods for preparation purposes.
Some of the excerpts from the book that I am reminded of is:
"An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent; provide a channel into which the people can angrily pour ther frustration." (Referring to her rant on "Our people are hurting")
"It should be remembered that you can threaten the enemy and get away with it. You can insult and annoy him, but the one thing that is unforgivable and that is certain to get him to react is to laugh at him. This causes an irrational anger." (referring to her rant on "the tea party can go straight to hell")
I will expand more on the book in future blog posts. This is definately a "play book" for some of our Politicians as well as the Unions. As I expand on this book, you will see more and more on how this plays into what is happening today.

Deportation Halted
Now that Obama and the DHS has halted deportations of illegals, I have to wonder how that affect us. According to this article, "The move would likely grant a reprieve to many would-be DREAM Act beneficiaries and thousands of others. The DREAM Act is a proposal in Congress to give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children a chance at legal status if they complete two years of college or military service. Though the bill has not passed, Thursday's announcement could serve to carry out its provisions."
Who is going to be responsible for the bills that will be incurred for illegals to go to college? We will, of course. It is being reported that 75 % of students entering college may need remedial classes. You can read the article here. Let's not forget, that it is predicted that the next "bubble " will be student loans. Read the story here.
What about their medical care and housing? Will they be able to pay for it or will we have to? We have been paying for them to have the same benefits we have for years. Why should we stop now? After all, we have plenty of money and jobs. Especially when Foreign students are getting jobs and then striking and walking off the job thanks to a government J - 1 Visa program. Read the story here.
We have so many jobs for American citizens that thousands turned out for a job fair in Atlanta. According to the article "Nine people who stood hours outdoors Thursday in line in the August heat required medical attention as thousands packed the campus of Atlanta Technical College for a job fair sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus." You can read the article here.
The halting of deportation by Obama doesn't surprise me. Back in July, "Barack Obama told radical La Raza activists that he would like to change immigration laws but that he did not have that power." You can read the story here.
It is no wonder that people are angry with this President. He is able to do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it without regard for what the American citizen wants or says. This President is only looking out for his political career and that is all. Or maybe, his intention is to make all of us to be like some citizens in New Jersey "Desperate victims of the economic slump forced to live in makeshift homes in forest." Read the story and see the photos here. If Obama is not replaced in 2012, is this what our future will look like?
Congratulations Mr. President, you are well on your way to bankrupting this country and the citizens who live here. You have done an amazing job of "Fundamentally transforming America".
Mr. President, this is not the change we need or want. This is what YOU wanted, not the American people.

Department of Justice
I read an article today about the Department of Justice investigating S & P. You can read the article here. As you recall, S & P downgraded the U.S. credit from the AAA rating this country has held for years. I think it is interesting that the Department of Justice would hold this investigation, but, not cooperate on the botched "Fast & Furious" program.
I think it is a shame that our politicians can't seem to get their priorities in order. We have guns crossing the border into Mexico that was permitted by our government which was involved with the murder of one of our border agents in Southern Arizona. "Agent Brian A. Terry was gunned down the frenzied shoot out that involved a cadre that robs illegal immigrants" . Agent Terry was killed December 2010 trying to protect our borders and our citizens by one of the guns involved in the "Fast and Furious" operation.
Today we hear of those guns being involved in 11 more violent crimes. Read the story here. Let's get real here. Which is more important, the lives of our citizens or the downgrade of this country's credit rating being downgraded? Don't get me wrong, but our credit rating can be repaired. The lives of those affected by the "Fast and Furious" debacle cannot.
Why isn't the Department of Justice cooperating with the Congressional House oversight committee. Who are they trying to protect? Is it Eric Holder, or could it be our own President. Why are they not being honest with Congress and the families of those who have been injured by the "Fast and Furious" operation. Could it be that they have not found a scape goat yet? What happened to "transparency"?
I only hope for the sake of the families that have been injured by this operation, that they receive the justice that they so rightly deserve. We as American citizens should demand our politicians give these families and the American people, what we deserve. JUSTICE!

Obama and jobs
When I posted yesterday and mentioned Obama's new tour buses, I thought, great, he bought and had them made here in the U.S. Today, I find out that these buses was actually made in Canada. You can read the story here. That made me stop and think.
Obama has been talking about creating, or "saving" jobs here in this country, since 2009. So, I got to looking. Let's take a look at things. Pelosi stated that unemployment benefits create jobs. Obamacare is suppose to create jobs. Let's not forget the Recovery Act. One of the jobs, who received millions of taxpayer dollars is now going bankrupt. Read the story here.
Now let's get more current. Obama's "Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the Obama administration has a jobs program already in place — and it’s food stamps." You can read the story and watch the video here. More of our tax dollars.
Speaking of tax dollars. Remember WE bailed out GM. Now GM is going to "reopen Indonesia plant, create 800 jobs.". Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside that this is the way we get repaid for helping out GM.
Now, on day 938 he claims he will have a "jobs plan in a month or so." Now, makes you wonder what he has in mind. Well, according to reports, there is a plan to eliminate certain tax loopholes, major investments in bridge, road, sewer and port repairs, heard that before. Obama "has asked Congress to approve an infrastructure “bank’’ that would use $30 billion in public money to help attract private contributions that would finance needed public works programs." "Rendell laid out a few other ideas. He would expand the pool of AmeriCorps national service jobs. To put construction workers back on the job, he would also have the government fix up foreclosed homes and rent them out. Any rental income would help offset the rehab costs."
I mentioned the Recovery Act above. Remember the "shovel ready jobs"
Let's not forget about Obama's dedication to jobs.

Obama and raising taxes on the rich
Obama has been pushing raising taxes on "those making $250,000 or more" before he became President. I think it is interesting that when the Democrats had complete control over the House, Senate, and Presidency, they didn't pass a bill on raising taxes on the rich. Still he is advocating raising taxes on the rich. Now, Warren Buffet, one of the richest man in the world is saying they should raise my taxes.
If Obama and Buffet want to pay more in taxes, then why not do it on their own? After all, they could file their taxes and not take any deductions, thus, paying more in taxes. The Obama's, on their 2009 tax return claimed an "adjusted gross income of $5,505,409.Their itemized deductions were $514,819. Foreign tax credit was $59,372. The taxes they paid was $1,800,701 and got a refund of $8,287.
Since Warren Buffet makes substantially more, and his tax records are not available to the public, it makes you wonder how much in taxes he would pay if he took NO deductions. Which I am sure he takes ALL the deductions he can.
For Warren Buffet, or any other billionaire who wants to pay more taxes, here's an idea. Why not pay for the buses which cost the taxpayer $2.2 million? While they are at it, why not pay the expense for the Secret Service who protects Obama on his campaign tour? Better yet, apply some of those billions to pay off the debt? If you don't know how, pay here!

George Soros and the U.S. markets
As I watched the U. S. Markets fluctuate last week, I couldn't help but think of George Soros. Then I read about Insider trading investigation. Then I remembered reading an article on July 26, 2011 about George Soros was going to "return around $1bn (£625m) to outside investors due to the Dodd-Frank Act" . Funny how on July 21,2011 a "A mystery investor or hedge fund reportedly made a bet of almost $1billion at odds of 10/1 last month that the U.S. would lose its AAA credit rating".
Who is George Soros? "He became known as "The man who broke the Bank of England". Now what does that have to do with the U.S. ? He is known for "collapsing the system" of other countries and plans to do that to the United States. Why would he want to destroy this country and others. Simply put, he wants a "New world order". More on that later.
For a better understanding of what is happening and what to expect in the future, please watch this video on Glenn Beck explaining who George Soros is.

Uniting the country
When campaigning for President in 2007, Obama made the comment regarding Hillary Clinton "I think it is fair to say that I believe I can bring the country together more effectively than she can," read it here. I have to wonder where he is at when it comes to bringing the country together? Well, let's just take a look.
He pushed Obamacare through when the majority of the country was screaming they didn't want it.
Our National debt is currently over $14 trillion and rising by the second. Every taxpayer now owes the government over $130,000. Every citizen owes over $46,000. That will rise as spending continues.
Unemployment is at 9.1 %.
He now has set fuel standards for the big riggs, that deliver our food and supplies, that will end up costing us more money in the long run, since these companies have to pass the cost on to their customers. Which in turn, passes that cost on to us. Read the story here.
He is constantly blaming the Republican party for everything that is happening in this country today. He and the Democrats, as well as the main street media are constantly calling the "tea party" everything from Terrorists to being racist. You can read the latest rant here.
If this is his idea of "uniting" the country, I would hate to see what he would do to "destroy" the country. I have news for Obama and the Democrats. YOU are the ones who are destroying this country. Yes, some of the blame should go to George W. Bush, he never should have passed the first T.A.R.P bill. But, he did. This mess has been building up for years, long before President Bush.
I have stated before, and I will state it again, WE the PEOPLE, can make a difference. We have to make our Politicians accountable and hold them accountable. We can let them know, in a non-violent way, that we will not take this any more. We are a civilized nation, and we can handle this in a civilized way. We the People can and should take our country back.
We need to see the truth about our politicians and the state of our country and make the sacrifices that are necessary to get our country back to being the best, most prosperous country in the world.
The Constitution states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. At the rate things are going, were are these rights today? Where will they be tomorrow, if we don't do anything about it now? Will our next generation and future generations have these rights? The answers lies with us.

Time for some truth
I am so tired of being lied to by those who think they know better than we do. I am tired of the "powers that be" thinking we are ignorant and will buy everything they tell us. We need honest politicians that will stop treating us like children.
Remember when Rep. Joe Wilson called Obama a "liar". Well it turns out that the Representative was 100% right. "Of that $28.8 million, “approximately $8.5 million will be used by 25 New Access Point awardees to target services to migrant and seasonal farm workers,” Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Spokeswoman Judy Andrews told CNSNews.com. HRSA is a part of HHS." Read the story here.
Of course we should not forget Nance Pelosi making the comment that Unemployment benefits create jobs.
Now, we have Jay Carney saying the same thing. " “It is one of the most direct ways to infuse money directly into the economy because people who are unemployed and obviously aren’t running a paycheck are going to spend the money that they get. They’re not going to save it, they’re going to spend it. And with unemployment insurance, that way, the money goes directly back into the economy, dollar for dollar virtually.” Read the rest of the story here.
I think unemployment benefits are a good thing to hold you over until you are able to find a job. But, when jobs are not being created and this administration is doing all it call to destroy the small businesses, it is nothing more than an attempt to get those on unemployment dependant on the government.
With all the money that has been spent by George W. Bush and Barack Obama the unemployment rate is still high. The amount of jobs Obama, Pelosi, and now Carney said would be created is no where near where it should be. The percentage of jobs that have been created since Obama took office in 2009 - May 2011 is .54 %. You can see the figures and the history here.
It's time for some real truth from our politicians and we should demand it.

Rahm Emanuel
I can't help but think of a saying that Rahm Emanuel, the former White House Chief of Staff, now Mayor of Chicago, once said. "You never let a serious crisis go to waste." I never thought I would say this, but, I agree with him. Just not in the way he means it.
This is a good time for us to learn from this crisis that we are in and teach our children how it is not a good thing to rely on the government and how we must prepare to take care of yourself. With unemployment currently at 9.1% and a not so good outlook in the near future, especially if you are aware of the Daily job cuts you know the outlook is grim.
If you were to look at the fact that Entitlement costs are expected to soar it would be wise to take a good look at your options and how you can teach your children to never depend on the government for anything. When Obama makes comments like he "Can't guarantee social security checks", this should be a real eye opener for us all. This is just common sense.

The Cloward/Piven strategy and today
Yesterday I wrote about the Cloward/Piven Strategy. Today I want to point out how it is taking place today. We hear or read about the riots going on all around the world and think it will not happen here. Well, if you look at the Cloward/Piven Strategy, it is here already.
The Cloward/Piven Strategy called for "cadres of aggressive organizers" to use "demonstrations to create a climate of militancy." Intimidated by black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of a "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a guaranteed living income for all; working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act."
Well, this is happening now: Hundreds rampage through neighboroods surrounding Wisconsin state fair . Our politicians are turning a blind eye to what is happening and what they can do to stop this madness before what is happening in Europe and other countries comes to this country.
Would it really hurt us that bad if our politicians were to tackle the entitlement programs? Would taking entitlements on destroy this country and our lives? I'm not saying that all entitlements are bad, what I am saying is that we should take a good hard look at these programs and see how they are working. That is what they have done in Michigan. 30,000 College students kicked out of food aid program in Michigan. When the entitlement programs are being abused as they are, something needs to be done. After all, the working class are the ones who are paying for the entitlement programs.
We should inform our Politicians that we are aware of this strategy and if they do not have what it takes to fight this strategy, we will replace them with someone who will.

The future
As I watch the markets tumble again today, I am reminded of watching Glenn Beck and his warnings over a year ago of what is happening now and why. I have mentioned before in my post that you should prepare for the worst and hope for the best. As I watch what is happening to the market, I see it is more important now than ever before.
If you ever watched Glenn Beck you know that he has talked about the Cloward and Piven Strategy. If you are not familiar, please read up on them. You can also watch this information and warning by Glenn Beck.
Hopefully, this will shed some light as to what is happening and why. We should not only prepare ourselves and our families, but, we should contact our Politicians and let them know that we will not fall for this madness.
We need to unite as a country and protect ourselves for what is to come. If you read about Cloward & Piven, and watched the Glenn Beck video above, you will understand why I tell you to prepare. We need to take control in a non-violent way and protect ourselves.
We have a long road ahead, but, if you can stock up on food and supplies, it would be wise. If you don't know how to protect yourself, find a business that teaches it. Search on line and find websites that tell you about survival skills and what you need to do to prepare and what to stock up on.

The Golden Rule
Today as I read articles that talk about this country, I can't help but think of the Golden Rule. What happened to the Golden Rule has also happened to Common Sense. Both have disappeared.
When I was growing up, we slept with our windows open, no air conditioning at the time. We slept with our doors unlocked. We had trust in our neighbors. We would go out and play with all the neighborhood kids, knowing that someones parent was always watching. It was common practice to be "neighborly". Everyone knew everyone. When a family was down and out, either the neighbors or the church was there to help. Parents took time out to spend time with their children and teach them right from wrong. Parents had control of their children. Not like today. Parents would "spank" their children, and we learned from it.
Our parents were involved with our schools and our recreation. Now days, it seems as though parents have let TV, PlayStation, cell phones, etc. entertain the children instead of getting involved with what they are doing. It is no wonder we hear of some many kids getting into trouble.
In times, such as we are in now, maybe the family unit needs to be re-examined. Maybe, it is time that we look at our children in a different way. Maybe, we should get more involved in what is going on in their lives. I believe that most of the problems the children have today is due to the lack of family involvement. Why not take some time and spend it with your children and get to know them? Why not teach your children how to be careful and wary of strangers and let them discover themselves and their imaginations. Our Children need to be inventive and productive.
Here is a good article I hope you will read: 20 signs that the fabric of american society is coming apart at the seams.

US Credit rating
Last night the S & P downgraded the credit rating of the United States. You can read the report here. Is it a surpise to anyone? After all we have borrowed so much money and our politicians have gone crazy with spending.
Our future may look gloomy and depressing, but, WE can change it. In the last 60 days the amount of regulations that have gone into effect is staggering. What does this mean to us? Higher prices in everything. You can see how many regulations and what they mean here.
What can WE do to change the direction this country is going in? We need to prepare ourselves, and our children for the worst, hope for the best, keep up to date on what is going on and how it affects us. Get involved by voiceing your opinion with your politician. Get educated on the canidates running for office and select the one that has the creditials you are looking for.
Are we willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary to save future generations, or are we too greedy? I know many parents that would risk their lives for their children, but, scream when it comes to their Social Security and Medicare. Yes, we paid into it and we should get our benefits, but, would it really hurt us to postpone these benefits for 6 months or a year? If it would take some of the burden off my children and grandchildren so they could have the life that I have enjoyed, the answer is a no brainer.
We the people need to take control of our lives, our futures, the future of our children, and put priorties in order. We cannot and should not depend on our government. We need to resurrect and re-learn how to use "common sense".
If you want to begin educating yourself on how our money is spent, this will be a good start for you and an eye opener. The President's budget for 2012

Free cell phones are now a civil right
After reading this story Free cell phones are now a civil right it is just another form of "Redistribution of Wealth". President Obama and those on the left, wants to Redistribute the wealth around.
Anyone who has ever worked as a server and has had to "split tips", knows exactly what it means to redistribute the wealth. When you work hard, as many servers do, servers have to split your tips with all the other servers. Some who don't work as hard, has a bad attitude, or gives bad service, share your tips. It isn't fair.
Let me put it another way. You work hard for your money. You save to buy a home, now you have to give some of that money to someone who is to lazy to work. Now, you cannot buy that home because you had to redistribute your wealth.
If we ask the wealthy to "redistribute the wealth" where will the jobs come from? Eventually, the "rich" will not have and money to "redistribute". Where will the money come from then? If we are all on a level playing field, where is the desire to be, let's say, an inventor or have your own business?

Immigration and Amnesty
Today I read a story Justice Department Sues Alabama Over Controversial Immigration Law Read more: http://www.Justice Department sues Alabama over controversial Immigration Law . Now don't get me wrong I have nothing against Immigrants. After all this country was founded by immigrants. Much of what we have today is due to the inventions that immigrants brought to this country when this country was first founded, and immigrants that have come over since.
I think that when President Regan granted Amnesty to the illegal immigrants he may have felt it was the right thing to do and that hopefully it would stop immigrants from coming into this country illegally. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Since President Regan granted the amnesty for illegals it only made things worse. I can and do understand why people from other countries want to come here. They see a chance for freedom and opportunities they do not have in their country. Reminds me a lot of how this country was started.
Today, we have more illegal immigrants that ever before. Our Federal government is suppose to enforce the laws that they pass. Unfortunately, this law has not been enforced for many, many years. Now many States are fighting illegal immigrants who have no problem in coming into this country and taking the lives of U.S. citizens. Our Government sits idly by and allows our citizens to be killed. I applaud any state that is trying to keep their citizens safe. Instead of suing the states for trying to protect their citizens, our government should be helping them. The money it cost to sue these states could be put to better use. What part of ILLEGAL does our government not understand?
Let the immigrants come to this country, just let them do it legally. We will welcome them, as we have welcomed all the immigrants that have come into this country legally.

Gabrielle Giffords
As I watched C-Span voting on the bill to raise the debt ceiling, applause broke out in the House. Gabrielle Giffords returned to the House to cast her vote. I teared up as I saw her surrounded by members of the House and all the members standing and applauding her.
I remember the day she was shot in the head and prayers from all over went out to her and her family, as well as those that were also injured and those that lost their lives that day. We must remember that even though the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms, it does not give us the right to shot innocent people. Events like the one that happened on that day only gives more ammunition to those who want to take away the rights we were given in the Constitution.
Many, who want to change our government back to honor our Constitution do not believe in violence to achieve the goal of smaller government. That is the way it should be. Violence only promotes more violence. Most of us have already seen enough in our lives.
For those who believe that small government and less spending is the best way for our country to go, the best thing that we can do to make a difference is to reread the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We need to not only educate ourselves, but our children. We need to stay educated about what our government is doing and take action in a civilized manner.
Welcome back Congresswoman Giffords.

We need to not only educate ourselves, but our children. We need to stay educated about what our government is doing and take action in a civilized manner.
Welcome back Congresswoman Giffords.
