I think it is absolutely the most insulting thing a "President" can do, is to apologize for things the American people feel we need not apologize for and insult the American citizen. How many times is Obama going to apologize to other countries and cultures on our behalf.
In this article, "The U.S. State Department made a phone call to the family of Al Qaeda propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death during a U.S. drone strike in Yemen, a department spokesman confirms."
Hello Mr. President, Samir Khan was a member of Al Qaeda, who wants to KILL us. Yes, he was an American Nationalized Citizen, but, he chose to go against America and chose the side of those who want us dead.
I have a question for Obama. When are you going to apologize to the American people? If Obama feels the need to apologize, I think he should start here at home. The American people are suffering, but, that seems to be exactly what he wants. Mr. Obama, you are not God. No one is perfect, even you Mr. Obama. You owe US an apology for allowing this country to continue and escalate the problems Americans face today. If you wanted us to have jobs and save our country, then get to the White House and do your job. That is what we are paying you to do, not campaign all the time.

Christians under attack ..... again
The attacks on Christians keep coming. According to this article, "President Barack Obama's Justice Department asked the Supreme Court last week to give the federal government the power to tell a church who its ministers will be."
How far will this Campaigner in Chief go to extinguish Christianity. You may remember that they have already attacked Crosses being placed at Veterans Cemeteries, even going as far as to stop anyone from saying "God Bless you" when you sneeze. I think it is ironic that they use the excuse of "Separation of Church and State", yet, here they are telling this Church who they can hire to teach their children.
According to the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the DOJ how will that affect the rest of us? Our government already has their hands in almost everything we do.
It is interesting how the administration uses the "Separation of Church and State" to attack Christians, but, they won't hesitate to back a Muslim Mosque to be built close to Ground Zero. Many people have questioned Obama's religious beliefs and I think the questions are justified.
Obama is laying the structure for something. Looking at all he has done to destroy this country is unsettling. George Soros wants a "New World Order" and he is helping to finance the Occupy Wall street movement. In my opinion, Obama is obliging George Soros who is an atheist.
According to this article, "George Soros is a Hungarian-American financier, businessman and notable philanthropist focused on supporting liberal ideals and causes. He became known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros had correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound sterling." George Soros has done this many times.
"The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but—more important—tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."
What will a New World Oder look like? It's hard to say, but, I would venture to say it's goodbye to our Constitution, our freedoms, our liberties, and life as we know it.

Supporters of Occupy Wall Street
Let's take a look at some of the "supporters" of Occupy Wall Street and what they stand for.
First. let's look at Van Jones. You may remember he was the "Green Jobs Czar" in the Obama Administration. He has stated: “They had the Arab spring, which was a people-powered, non-violent opportunity to change the conversation in those countries,” Jones said. “We should have an American Autumn--people-powered, non-violent.” Read the article here.
Now, I want to take a minute and look at how "non-violent" the Arab Spring was. This was anything but non-violent. You can watch the video here. Be aware some of the scenes can be very distrubing. Can it happen here in the U.S.? Is this what we want?
In this video Van Jones even warns us of what is going to happen.
How about Francis Fox Piven? She is a radical left winger, who, along with Van Jones believes that violence is what it takes to get things done. In this video, she specifically states it is okay to use violence.
As stated in this article, "Fears expressed by some that the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement is being hijacked by the Democratic Party establishment have intensified after the official OWS website announced that it “stands in solidarity” with MoveOn.org, a lobbying group for the Wall Street-backed Obama administration."
As stated in this article, "My friend Scott Johnson got a tip from a reader that the progressive New York political party Working Families has run an ad on Craigslist, one that apparently promises a salary for joining the OccupyWallStreet protests. "
To make matters even more interesting, according to this article, "The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury man’s upcoming trial."
Now I ask you, is this what you stand for? These people and groups involved are "smooth talkers". They make things sound real good, but the question is... is it?

What if they won?
Today, I was thinking of the protestors that are now spreading across the country. I couldn't help but think about what they are standing for and against. They are against Capitalism. They are for taxing the rich. They are for redistrubuting the wealth. This is what I think. Let me give you an example.
There are homeless people in this country that would consider everyone who was not homeless, rich. So.. the government would tax you more than the homeless. Since you are now considered rich, you have to pay more taxes to the government. So... that would mean that you can't have as much stuff as you do because it will cost you more in taxes to have those things. So.... why not give all your belongings to those that are homeless? Now you wouldn't be taxed so much. Since you are against Capitalism, why not get rid of everything you own, even the clothes on your back. Capitalism provided you with the opportunity to have everything you own. Even the clothes on your back are available to you due to Capitalism. Now you would be a true anti-capitalist. You would now know what it is like to be rich. And, you have redistributed the wealth.
If the protesters accomplish what they seek, this is what things may end up looking like. Maybe not to the extreme of having no clothes to wear, but, the rest is conceivable. This is not what I want the rest of my life to look like. This is not what I want the family I will one day leave behind to face. I want us all to have the same chances in life and in business to accomplish what we can accomplish. I would like to go back to the times where we had less government. Where we had more opportunities to improve our lives and the lives of our children. Is it possible? I think so. I think if we had the right government, we could have a country, where people from other countries could come here legally and contribute to make our country better. I want a country where we are envied by all the other countries to the point they would learn from us and strive to improve their own country because of the greatness of this country.

Capitalism and Steve Jobs
As many of us mourn the loss of Steve Jobs today, I can't help but think of the protesters gathering around the country to protest Capitalism, among other things. I wonder how many of those protesters have enjoyed the accomplishments that Steve Jobs made.
How many of the protesters enjoy and use Itunes, Ipods, Itouch, Ipad, and Iphones? If it were not for the freedom we have in this country to invent and produce items that we use and enjoy everyday, we would not be using and enjoying what Steve Jobs brought to us. If it were not for Steve Jobs, there would be no Android phones in which many enjoy. If we destroy Capitalism what will we have? What new ideas and inventions will we have?
How would the protesters feel if they had the Apple products taken away? If they want to know what it would be like to not have Capitalism in this country, just take away the products that Steve Jobs was able to give them. Talk about rioting in the streets, that is a given.
Rest in Peace Steve. Thank you for all the inventions and improvements that you gave us. You made our lives better for it and you will be terribly missed. You are an inspiration for many.

Occupy Wall Street and lessons of the past
As I read over the proposed list of demands, that the Occupy Wall Street protesters want, it makes me giggle. Some of their demands are absurd.
I couldn't help but reminisce about when I bought my first car in the 1970's. I remember that before all these laws, rules, and regulations were put in play, we the people had control over so many different things. I remember "gas wars". If we didn't like the price at one gas station, we went to a gas station that had cheaper prices, thus, begin the price wars. Boycotting businesses worked. Companies wanted our business. We had the power to keep the "big businesses" and our government in check.
As our government has grown, prices have risen dramatically. For example, in 1970 the price of gas on average was 37 cents a gallon, where today it is over $3.00 a gallon. I remember paying $3,000 for my first brand new sports car. All before "NAFTA", and before the liberals began infiltrating our government. Unemployment was at 3.6% in 1970, where if the actual figures were released today the unemployment would be close to 30%
What I am getting at is when government was smaller, it was much easier for us to control our government, not our government controlling us. We yelled for the government to step in and make things better with our banks. The government did, and now we are hearing reports of Bank of America charging $5 per month for the use of debit cards. Read the story here. Now Citibank has jumped in with it's fees, "If you're a Citibank customer who has one of the bank's two smaller checking account plans—the ones where the monthly fee is waived as long as you use direct deposit or their online bill payment—then maybe it's time to consider taking your business elsewhere. Starting in February, anyone with an average balance of less than $1500 will be assessed a monthly $7.50 service fee". Read more here.
My question to you is, do you want more government involvement, or less. I prefer less. I don't like the government creeping more and more into my life. Our government is not helping me or my family. Our government is doing us more harm than good. This is exactly what our founding fathers fought to prevent. Our constitution was designed to keep government out of our lives, not to intrude on our lives. Our government is now so large that it takes an army of people to keep up with what our government is doing.

Occupy Wall Street and the NYPD
Last night as I watched the live stream of the protesters and their "silent" march to the NYPD I couldn't help but remember how, just days ago they were asking for police protection. I think it is interesting how after the protesters received threats that they call on the police for help. Now they protest in front of the NYPD about police brutality and call them murderers. Watch the video here.
I'm not saying that ALL police officers are honest and good. There are some bad apples out there and they should be exposed and dealt with. My father was a police officer in the military and I was taught to respect the police and to trust them. I was also taught if something wasn't right with a police officer to report it. To this day, I respect our police officers. They put their lives on the line every day. It is not their fault that they can no longer "protect" us. It is the laws that have been passed in order to restrict them from doing their job properly. I am dead set against any violence. We have to remember, that the police that are "Protecting" these protesters and have been accused of "brutality" against the protesters are only doing their jobs. The police have no idea what the protesters will do. They have to be prepared for anything. Were they out of line with some of the protesters? From what I have seen, that is a question that should be asked and investigated.
