SCARY, read the USA obituary at the end
DR. WALTER WILLIAMS predicts that Obama can not lose the 2012 election.
IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO "SHAKE THE BOAT" TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVES.
Dr. Williams prediction: Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George Mason University .
No Matter What
By Dr. Walter Williams
Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't. I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term.
The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.
But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.
The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected. Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win. Gas prices moving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins. The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins. War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term. America's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama! The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.
You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.
And that's why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.
Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.
Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:
1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us,
2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,
3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,
4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,
5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,
6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,
7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,
8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist,
9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.

Obituary-Very Interesting!
Born 1776, Died 2008
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
• Number of States won by: Obama:19 McCain: 29
• Square miles of land won by: Obama:580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
• Population of counties won by: Obama:127million McCain: 143 million
• Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
MY Post Script:
If you don’t want the above to become truth and reality, we must work very hard. First, we must pray to God to protect us from The One. We also must show ourselves humbled by God’s grace by repenting of our own liberal ways. President Obama didn’t get elected in a vacuum. America has much to repent of.
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
After we have fallen on our faces before God, we must roll up our sleeves and go to work to defeat The One. We must respond to every liberal editorial that slams the likes of Sarah Palin. We must inform media outlets that we will hold THEM accountable for the liberal bias on their news. We must campaign in person, on e-mails, blogs, and other outlets against The One.
What is at stake on this next election is that it could well be our LAST one. While the government has led to 99% of this problem economy, most of us have contributed to this situation ourselves by not being more independent of the government. It is virtually impossible to not be dependent on the government, and that is how they want it. Dependency grows power—by the government.
What is at stake is our country, our very lives. Stand Up America, and take back America from The One and his minions. The country we lose could be our own!!

Full Moon Arising
Help Wanted: Professional Tray Tracker:
Did you know that U.S. tax payers’ dollars, two million of them, are tied up in research following what children in school eat, and what they throw away. The funds come from funds originally earmarked for border security cameras along the US/Mexico border. While this camera surveillance program was unsuccessful in deterring illegals from coming into our country, the feds thought they could transfer these cameras and another $2,000,000 to upgrade it, to school cafeterias.
According to a blogger, Jeannie DeAngelis, these professional tray trackers will film students as they pick up their trays of lunch food, and observe what they throw away. Their job is two-fold: to document what types of food is chosen by the children, along with what they eventually discard. Next, these professional tray trackers will report the findings to the parents, (and maybe school officials) (and maybe even FLOTUS, in her ever enlarging trail of food police to spy on our children.) This is in the guise of viewing if the children choose mash potatoes or green beans, French fries or fruit. The food trays have bar codes on them to aid in the tracking. And there are the ever intrusive cameras. They say the goal is to reduce childhood obesity and diabetes.
Once they determine what kids like, the school will most likely change the menu to things kids hate, therefore reducing the food they are likely to eat. Dr. Roberto Trevino, of the San Antonio-based Social & Health Research Center, states that “the grant from the USDA will fund the study for four years.” He concluded that “the coming school year will be very experimental, with the programmers fine-tuning cameras and imaging software to accurately identify what’s a pear and what’s an apple.”
Joy! Joy!
Wit, and Wisdom, or the Lack Thereof!
Our POTUS seems to have a character trait that is very difficult to understand. When common sense would have a person to ponder why people disagree with him, POTUS just thinks it’s beneath him to have such a dialog. His modus of operation is to belittle and degrade. Take the border security problem. Everyone knows the feds have routinely dropped the ball on this monumental problem. But when states try to alleviate the situation by state laws, POTUS directed his legal teams to sue the states, not the illegals. Finally they consented to send more security guards to the area, but this has minimal affect. The fence everyone wanted is not yet finished, and the effect of this may be lessened by the tunnel that already is in place between Mexico and Arizona. When the president recently went to Texas to address this issue, it was plain that he was not there to help, but to belittle. He asked, What do they want? A mote? Alligators? Now, I believe a mote would be fine—if it went around Washington, DC, and included alligators.
Water. Water, Everywhere, and not a Drop to Drink
Most of us have heard of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What POTUS couldn’t get by legislation, he is now taking by decree of the EPA. In an article by Jerry Shenk, of American Thinker, he wrote about the news from the EPA.
“Recognizing the importance of clean water and healthy watershed to our economy, environment and communities, the Obama administration released a national clean water framework today that showcases its comprehensive commitment to protecting the health of American waters.”
While the administration states it is concerned about water, what they really are concerned about is power, and controlling the land and water. The original EPA bill, HR2421, gave the Army Corps of Engineers control of all “navigable” American watersheds. The EPA, under POTUS’ direction, is after ALL LAND IN ALL WATERSHEDS. As Shenk pointed out since all land is in a watershed, all land use will come under the power of the central government. Shenk wrote, “This Executive Branch recognizes no legislative power or constitutional boundaries to their ambitions.” He continued, “The threat to private property rights embedded in the ill-fated Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007; lives on in Executive Branch bureaucratic overreach.”
Will Trump be Trumped?
Donald Trump is acting more and more like a presidential candidate. While many in America think he is just a rich flake, many in the black community are already making war on him. I have not made up my mind about Mr. Trump as president, but I think he would greatly liven up the race—presidential race, not black/white race. However, it appears that anyone who should conflict with our POTUS simply MUST be a racist. It couldn’t be that POTUS isn’t up to the job, or is narcissistic, or thought of as simply wrong. No, if people don’t like his policies, they are racists. On that vein, Mr. Trump is now being attacked by a group called ColorofChange, which is trying to sabotage the TV program “Celebrity Apprentice.” This group is now campaigning against the program and Trump, stating the he operates in “race-baiting.”
According to Lloyd Marcus, a writer for American Thinker, who by the way happens to be black, states, “For the first time in U.S. History, we have a president who cannot be criticized in any way. It is an indisputable fact that the liberal mainstream media exempted presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama from the usual vetting process of one seeking to be elected Leader of the Free World. Obama’s skin color trumped everything.”
Marcus continued, “I am so sick of these racist so-called rights groups bullying people with race.” Marcus called out, “Hear ye, hear ye, all who dare criticize King Obama is automatically guilty of racism and will suffer the consequences! This is totally absurd and insane.”
Other Reelection Protection Programs of POTUS:
To ensure his reelection, POTUS has directed companies who request contracts with the federal government to have to reveal their political donation. In addition, POTUS has directed the IRS to challenge political gifts to politically involved not-for-profits. As reported by Liz Peek, of FoxNews.com, even the Democrats are crying foul. The man appears to have no shame.
And, lastly, TSA Updates:
As our POTUS, and his administration know no bounds, apparently neither does the TSA. It is documented that the TSA agents can screen by x-ray and “pat downs” anyone they choose, regardless if they are elderly, frail grandparents on oxygen tanks and in wheelchairs, or if they are children holding teddy bears. But no one knows the long term affect of these x-rays for frequent flyers. And no one knows the long term affect of TSA agents groping the children--touching private parts, reaching inside their pants, inside the underwear, touching the private parts that moms and dads have been trying to teach the children that they shouldn’t let anyone touch them there but doctors, and even removing diapers on babies looking for bombs!!! All this is really beyond the pale.
How do you explain to a child that, no, they shouldn’t let strangers touch them there, but it’s o.k. for people at airports to do that?!! How do you explain to them that they could be arrested for touching their friend Susie like that, but these grown-ups can do it? Where is the common sense when ALL terrorist attacks and attempted attacks have been by Muslims? Now, I agree, not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists, to date, have been Muslims, or people who converted to being a Muslim.
In April Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) introduced a bill, HR1510, making it necessary to obtain parental consent to conduct an invasive frisk of a child. He requested the TSA abandon “security theater” in favor of common sense.
In an article by Robert Small, (AT), Small reported that Chaffetz recommended using bomb-sniffing dogs and behavioral screenings. While bomb-sniffing dogs aren’t fool proof, but neither is anything else.
It is important that we teach our children the difference between Western Culture and Islamic culture. Small asks, “What else should I teach [my child]? That anyone can be a terrorist? Even a child? No, anyone could be a kidnapper, a killer, a pedophile, but the idea of turning an airplane into a weapon of mass destruction repeatedly springs only from the head of a Muslim. It’s a brainchild of a community that defends violent protest, even murder, as a sane response to offensive cartoons!!! It certainly isn’t on the mind of every Muslim, but it persists in the mind of Islam. And that kind of evil will never be defeated by randomly frisking fewer than three out of every hundred travelers.”
Also, what we need to teach our children is that Islam terrorists have no respect or love for their own children. Pakistani boys as young a nine have been recruited by Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to be suicide bombers. They are brought to Afghanistan and shown how to strap on a suicide vest and told that they should go forth and kill as many foreigners as possible, but that they will live through the experience.
We are in a mess. The country is in a mess. The economy is in a mess. The answer has to be Jesus. He WILL come again, and soon. Lord Come Quickly.

Obituary for Common Sense
Due to the fact that the Federal House & Senate, along with POTUS, are working on budgets, arguing how high a deficit we should have, and who (which rich folks) will pay for all this foolishness, and our state legislators are also working furiously to write a budget, I am posting the below e-mail I received. May Common Sense be resurrected, and reign on high!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers:
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
and
I'm A Victim .
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Where to Begin?
Let’s see how far I can go without getting “aeriated.” (In case you aren’t familiar with the term, it was used by James Herriot in his books about being a veterinarian in England. It means: to get stirred up profusely.)
Recently the POTUS ET EX came out with a policy against bullying. It is now the FEDERAL policy against bullying. Let’s see where there is bullying:
Chicago schools (hmmm, isn’t this the POTUS ET EX’s home city?) no longer allow lunches from home. Students are mandated to buy (or obtain free) school lunches…in the guise of healthy eating. When some students revolted, because the food was so bad, and started demanding their rights to bring food from home, this was squashed by the school. Who is the bully?
When Boeing had difficulties in Washington State completing their plane manufacturing in a timely manner due to union strikes, they decided to come to South Carolina and build planes. Now the Federal Government has joined the unions in suing Boeing because of so-called unfair labor practices against unions. Who’s the bully? Who are the thugs? POTUS, ET AL?
When Amazon.com decided to bring some of its distribution services to South Carolina, the then governor, Sanford, made an agreement to exempt them from collecting a sales tax on sales for five years. Now someone with money is fighting this saying this gives undo favor to the on-line company because local stores and businesses have to collect a sales tax.
Here are a few suggestions:
1st. I have shopped at Amazon.com for years, and not because I was saving a few cents on sales taxes, but because I can get what I need, and want, when I need it. These businesses who are voicing objections can register their businesses and items for sale with Amazon.com and take advantage of on-line buyers.
2nd. Amazon.com is bringing hundreds of jobs to South Carolina, and $60,000,000 in payroll. This will bring in payroll taxes to South Carolina. These people who will be working will be spending their money in South Carolina, and not all on Amazon.com. Businesses should learn that due to gas prices, more and more people are buying on-line, and finding the shipping is usually less than the gas it would take to get to a brick-n-mortar store front.
3rd. It is my suspicion that the money paid for these TV ads are funds from lobbyists who have no stake in this question, only the dollars they earn making noise. Who is the bully? Who is the bully behind the bully?
Next, gas prices: At this time in my town, the price at the pump is about $3.60 per gallon, ($112 per barrel of oil). It would cost me $54 to put in 15 gallons of gas. I get about 25 miles per gallon. Most weeks, I use one tank per week. When I worked “out of town,” as I did up ‘til last year, I used three tanks per week. I had to quit the job to balance my budget. Totally ridiculous!
The president says he can’t do anything about the price of gas, but he still controls who can drill for oil, and where. And now, this POTUS is pushing for the DOT to put tracking devices in our cars so the government can tax us on the miles we drive.
The old adage is, when a country begins to burn its food, it is a sign of the end of the power of the country. It has been proven that using ethanol in gasoline reduces mileage in vehicles, takes food off the table, and costs more to produce than raw gas. But this administration is mandating an increase in the percentage of ethanol in gasoline. Who’s the bully?
The POTUS has decided to run for reelection. He said he’s not done working on his programs of social changes in America. God help us if he carries out all his potential changes. Some men and women are coming out now to test the waters of candidacy.
Two potential candidates for president are Mr. Donald Trump and the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, They are campaigning and speaking at Tea Parties, and the worms are coming out of the woodwork—again! Mr. Trump is called a “light-weight” and Ms. Palin is called—well, we can’t write what she is called. In the guise of comedy Ms Palin is again being attacked for giving birth to “a retarded” child. In polite circles, by people with manners, he is called a special needs child. Whatever you call him, he shouldn’t be attacked because of his mother. But worms like a so-called journalist in Alaska wondered aloud what the boy Trig, who celebrated his birthday, would be dreaming about. The non-writer stated, “Nothing. He’s retarded.” Another non-funny comedian, Louis CK(?), ranted off a tirade about the boy, and Ms Palin in such vulgar language it can’t be repeated without using only the top keys on the keyboard. This is all because Ms Palin had the audacity to give birth to, verses murder, her disabled son, and because she expounds Christian family values, such things as these liberal worms would know nothing about. Who are the bullies???
The Whiner-In-Chief recently went to Chicago (again?) and complained loudly about the lack of having a “cool phone” in the Oval Office. He is quoted to say, “I’m like, c’mon guys. I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn’t happen.” Who’s the bully?
Later, the POTUS was holding a press conference about the deal he made with the House and Senate to finish the 2011 budget. At the invitation of POTUS, the Republican’s Paul Ryan, who drafted a compromise part to the deal, of which most was used, sat in on the press conference. Did POTUS compliment him for his cooperation? Did POTUS thank the Republicans for finally getting a budget that the Democrats had not been able to write for eight months? NO! POTUS berated Mr. Ryan and others for potential changes in Medicare. Who’s the bully?
In the 2008 election, many people had blinders on. Or they were lazy and didn’t do their homework. Most people applying for a job have to write a resume with references, both professional and personal. Who are Mr. POTUS’s references? Everything about this man has been sealed. No information is available about him.
A recent e-mail I received asked the following questions:
Who was the best man at the O’s wedding?
When did he and Mrs. O meet?
Where are past photos of his life?
Where are his grades, transcripts from college?
Why haven’t any old school mates come forward and said, “I knew him when…?”
Does anyone remember him at Columbia U.?
Why isn’t O’s photograph in the college year book?
Why was O’s law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Mrs. O’s law license inactivated by Court Order?
While the US Census records show only ONE Barack Obama, but with 27 Social Security numbers, and over 80 aliases. And the Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut, where he is reported to never have lived.
This is the man in charge. This is the man telling us how to live, what to eat, what cars to buy, and where to send our children to school. By presidential signature, he overrode the deal he made with the House of Representatives and Senate on the budget, and reinstated his four Czars. WHO’S THE BULLY?!!!
Recently the POTUS ET EX came out with a policy against bullying. It is now the FEDERAL policy against bullying. Let’s see where there is bullying:
Chicago schools (hmmm, isn’t this the POTUS ET EX’s home city?) no longer allow lunches from home. Students are mandated to buy (or obtain free) school lunches…in the guise of healthy eating. When some students revolted, because the food was so bad, and started demanding their rights to bring food from home, this was squashed by the school. Who is the bully?
When Boeing had difficulties in Washington State completing their plane manufacturing in a timely manner due to union strikes, they decided to come to South Carolina and build planes. Now the Federal Government has joined the unions in suing Boeing because of so-called unfair labor practices against unions. Who’s the bully? Who are the thugs? POTUS, ET AL?
When Amazon.com decided to bring some of its distribution services to South Carolina, the then governor, Sanford, made an agreement to exempt them from collecting a sales tax on sales for five years. Now someone with money is fighting this saying this gives undo favor to the on-line company because local stores and businesses have to collect a sales tax.
Here are a few suggestions:
1st. I have shopped at Amazon.com for years, and not because I was saving a few cents on sales taxes, but because I can get what I need, and want, when I need it. These businesses who are voicing objections can register their businesses and items for sale with Amazon.com and take advantage of on-line buyers.
2nd. Amazon.com is bringing hundreds of jobs to South Carolina, and $60,000,000 in payroll. This will bring in payroll taxes to South Carolina. These people who will be working will be spending their money in South Carolina, and not all on Amazon.com. Businesses should learn that due to gas prices, more and more people are buying on-line, and finding the shipping is usually less than the gas it would take to get to a brick-n-mortar store front.
3rd. It is my suspicion that the money paid for these TV ads are funds from lobbyists who have no stake in this question, only the dollars they earn making noise. Who is the bully? Who is the bully behind the bully?
Next, gas prices: At this time in my town, the price at the pump is about $3.60 per gallon, ($112 per barrel of oil). It would cost me $54 to put in 15 gallons of gas. I get about 25 miles per gallon. Most weeks, I use one tank per week. When I worked “out of town,” as I did up ‘til last year, I used three tanks per week. I had to quit the job to balance my budget. Totally ridiculous!
The president says he can’t do anything about the price of gas, but he still controls who can drill for oil, and where. And now, this POTUS is pushing for the DOT to put tracking devices in our cars so the government can tax us on the miles we drive.
The old adage is, when a country begins to burn its food, it is a sign of the end of the power of the country. It has been proven that using ethanol in gasoline reduces mileage in vehicles, takes food off the table, and costs more to produce than raw gas. But this administration is mandating an increase in the percentage of ethanol in gasoline. Who’s the bully?
The POTUS has decided to run for reelection. He said he’s not done working on his programs of social changes in America. God help us if he carries out all his potential changes. Some men and women are coming out now to test the waters of candidacy.
Two potential candidates for president are Mr. Donald Trump and the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, They are campaigning and speaking at Tea Parties, and the worms are coming out of the woodwork—again! Mr. Trump is called a “light-weight” and Ms. Palin is called—well, we can’t write what she is called. In the guise of comedy Ms Palin is again being attacked for giving birth to “a retarded” child. In polite circles, by people with manners, he is called a special needs child. Whatever you call him, he shouldn’t be attacked because of his mother. But worms like a so-called journalist in Alaska wondered aloud what the boy Trig, who celebrated his birthday, would be dreaming about. The non-writer stated, “Nothing. He’s retarded.” Another non-funny comedian, Louis CK(?), ranted off a tirade about the boy, and Ms Palin in such vulgar language it can’t be repeated without using only the top keys on the keyboard. This is all because Ms Palin had the audacity to give birth to, verses murder, her disabled son, and because she expounds Christian family values, such things as these liberal worms would know nothing about. Who are the bullies???
The Whiner-In-Chief recently went to Chicago (again?) and complained loudly about the lack of having a “cool phone” in the Oval Office. He is quoted to say, “I’m like, c’mon guys. I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn’t happen.” Who’s the bully?
Later, the POTUS was holding a press conference about the deal he made with the House and Senate to finish the 2011 budget. At the invitation of POTUS, the Republican’s Paul Ryan, who drafted a compromise part to the deal, of which most was used, sat in on the press conference.

Evil Is As Evil Does!
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.” Romans 13:1-4 (KJV)
God says that government is ordained of God, and we should honor and respect the government, and not rebel against it. God will severely punish those Christians who rebel against the government. However, God did not say he would punish rebellious Christians if the government is evil and goes against the word of God.
In Exodus 18:21a, we read, “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness…” as rulers and servants of the people. God fearing, truthful, hating covetousness (wanting what everyone else has)…leaders, not people with evil ways.
Let us examine if OUR government is evil, and must be protested. The Bible says, thou shall not kill, yet the government authorizes abortions, and fights mightily and secretively those who protest this government sanctioned murder.
We have a president so inept that he is dangerous. This country has lost its honor and integrity overseas due to presidential priorities. Untold vacations, golf matches, and White House parties while civil wars ferment in the Middle East, the earthquake in Japan, subsequent tsunami, and possible nuclear melt down have about destroyed this island nation, but Mr. O spends his time playing golf, picking basketball teams, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, and leaves for Brazil for yet another vacation—sorry, he’s putting in a little work by discussing ways Brazil can help us (US) increase our manufacturing, and reduce unemployment.
We have navy ships in Bahrain, but when the civil war unrest started, did we reply? No, Saudi Arabia sent in forces to quell the unrest—will they quell this unrest like Libya has by dropping bombs and shooting with live ammunition, and making news correspondents disappear? Tunisia and Egypt have erupted and changed hands, and what does Mr. O say? “You (heads of countries) better stop fighting or, or, or….?” Yemen is erupting, and the government is shooting its people, and Mr. O says…nothing.
We have a president who promised change. Well, he has kept his promise.
When he took office in 2009, unemployment was 7.3%, it rose to over 10.1%, and now hovers at about 9.5%, not counting those who ran out of unemployment checks, or those who got so discouraged they quit looking.
In January, 2009 gasoline sold for $1.81, and how hovers around $3.60.
Mr. O promised to help people with their mortgages. Now 5.7 million people don’t have to worry about their mortgages. They have lost their homes and don’t have to pay them.
We now have a president against oil, gas, and nuclear energy for America. He has shown this by shutting down oil drilling, and blocking new areas where oil could be drilled. He refuses to allow new nuclear power plants licensed, and he is against coal energy, even though it is cleaner than it has been in the past. He sells American oil and coal to Japan and China. He has not pursued the precious metals needed to go forward. He has carried out draconian decrees to take away our choices in light bulbs, cars, and even what we feed our children.
Mr. O is for electric cars, but fails to connect the dots of where this electricity will come from. We can’t just plug our Volt into a tree. It must be connected to the grid somehow, Mr. O.
There was a story on TV this week about “food police” stopping people in grocery stores to go through their carts and expose the wrong foods they were about to buy and feed their families (all in the guise of educating them). Food prices are increasing dramatically, but by presidential decree, there will be no COLAs for folks on Social Security for the second straight year.
The president blames Congress for not passing a budget, but it was HIS party in office when the fiscal year ended October, 2010. His lack of leadership has the appearance of being almost deliberate. DOES HE REALLY WANT AMERICA TO FAIL—FALL?
Is this the motive for his dithering? Or is he just so incompetent?
In the book, The 5,000 Year Leap, A Miracle That Changed the World, by W. Cleon Skousen, Samuel Adams, one of the fathers of the American Revolution, is quoted saying, “Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise virtuous man.” (Subsequent quote taken from Wells’, Life of Samuel Adams.)
I have stopped feeling guilty about protesting the current state of affairs in our country. I now know it is my God given right and duty to protest, and to write, and to make noise. Please dear readers, don’t just believe everything you see and hear on mainstream media. What you don’t see or hear could fill volumes. Educate yourself. Search other web sites. Read conservative writers, both in print and on-line.
It is our duty and right to hold America accountable.
In God We Trust!! Verify everyone else!!!

"Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep"
My entry today is a little different, and a short trip down memory lane. Please read. I will put my political hat back on at a later day.
When I was a kid my parents and grandparents taught us kids to say our prayers at night. The one I remember, and subsequently taught my kids went like this:
“Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” Then we would ask God to bless a number of people, our parents, grandparents, and others.
Some folk told me I shouldn't teach my kids that they might die in their sleep, that I should teach them a “more peaceful” bedtime prayer. I'm not sure where the original prayer came from. And I know as an adult that “rote prayer” isn't the best way to pray. We should pray from our hearts whatever is on our mind and in our needs at the time we pray. However, this bedtime ritual was an “introduction” to God, and to a prayer life.
I got saved at about age five, as a result of Sunday School classes and my grandmother's teaching. We prayed in Sunday School, and learned at an early age about Jesus, and His saving power. Today, as an adult, I try to ave daily Bible reading, sometimes morning and night. I use the faithful King James Version Bible, and have read it cover to cover. I will admit I don't get there every day, but most every day. In the last few years I have kept a reading journal to show where I read. What it shows is when I didn't read.
Some of my favorite parts of the Bible are the Psalms and Proverbs. I was reading there in Psalms today, and came across the following verses:
“I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.” Ps. 3:5; and “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.” Ps. 4:8.
These verses are very close to my childhood prayer. When I am ready to go to bed, my childhood prayer can still be my night time adult prayer. As a Christian, I know that when I lay me down to sleep, God will protect my soul and spirit. Should I die before I wake, I know Jesus will be there to take me to Heaven. Should I make it through the night, I will awake refreshed, and in peace, for Jesus has kept me safe through the night.
Can you relate to this simple prayer? Do you feel the peace and safety when you lay your head on your pillow? You can if you have Jesus in your heart, and go to bed with a prayer on your lips.

Outrage Fatigue
I haven’t written for my blog for quite sometime. A lot is going on, both locally, and around the world. I have been having difficulty forming my thoughts that could be uplifting, and not completely negative. However, with the world, national, and local headlines so bleak.
Like I said at the beginning, it’s been frustrating lately. It’s almost enough to make a person lose hope. But, then, you have to ask yourself, where is your hope? What foundation is your hope? In the government? Fat chance. (No, thin chance, sorry Mrs. O.) In your job? Hold onto it. In a political party? I haven’t seen any brilliance in the local winners of the past election, nor any brilliance in Columbia, nor any brilliance in the US House of Representatives or US Senate.
I have felt compelled to write using only the top keys of the keyboard. If you don’t know what I mean by this, I will give you an example. But I don’t like that feeling I get when I get so outraged.
The @#$$ stock market goes down, but the ##%$ oil prices go up. It makes it ##%&*ing hard to fill up the tank in my car. This will surely help in the economic recovery!
Mrs. O continues her assault on personal freedoms and families by passing the @#47*&^@ food restriction rules, counting salt grams and fat grams, outlawing fundraising bake sales at schools, all the while eating baked lobsters on yet another #@#%*ing vacation.
The president and his #@#$$%ing CZARS rule the roost on what type light bulbs we can use, and how many watts we can have in our kitchen, what type refrigerators we can buy, and what type toilet we can put in our house.
The @#$#@ TSA’s pervert tactics of x-ray scans and “pat downs” would get any man arrested if conducted in the public square, surely encourages people to want to fly. Flying may or may not save oil, but, I for one will not fly until such tactics are changed.
The number one ranked Christian leader in India and also in Pakistan were murdered by Islam extremist for insulting Allah, and no outrage or response by our Christian president, but Washington was outrage when Rep. Peter King holds hearings to find out if Muslims in America are assisting in notifying agencies when they suspect their children are being recruited by Islam extremists to become terrorists. The claim was that there are other groups who are extremists. Maybe so, but let’s hold hearings on the ones we know about. If other groups are becoming terrorists, let’s study them also. Just don’t paint every dissenter as an extremist!
Wisconsin’s battle with @#@$@ unions and striking teachers and missing senators brings the state government to a standstill, but the outrage by protesters is for the ones trying to pay the bills.
In South Carolina, the Senate works days and weeks in trying to pass an immigration bill that will satisfy Washington, DC and the U S Supreme Court. What happened to states’ rights? What happened to: if you are here illegally (per Federal Law) you are also here illegally per S.C. law!?
Social Security and Medicare are “elephants in the room.” Obamacare is a @#$#ing poison pill with more tax law in it than medicine. While some folks out of work have found jobs, most are receiving 75% less pay than they were before. The upper-income jobs, the ones needed to be able to tax these folks enough to pay for all the government programs, will not return. Everyone needs to be retooled to something new to be able to work.
Like I said at the beginning, it’s been frustrating lately. It’s almost enough to make a person lose hope. But, then, you have to ask yourself, where is your hope? What foundation is your hope?
My hope is not on earthly things or people.
"But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation”. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 (KJV);
1"Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace," 2 Thessalonians 2:16 (KJV)
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 (KJV).
Does my faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ promise that I will never run out of gas? No. But He promises, if I have faith, I will not run out of spiritual gas. When the world is in a whirl around me, I remember that we Christians win this race. Read the last Book in the Bible. Satan, and his demons, are overcome and literally thrown into the lake of fire.
I try to read my Bible daily. This gives me a daily walk and talk with God. I pray for my friends and family, my church, my town, state and country. I pray for patience so I can write and type without using only the top keys on the keyboard. The more I do this, the less sick and frustrated I feel about world events.
I can’t change or control anything that is going on. But, my God is in control, yesterday, today and forever. He holds the world in his hands, and He will mete out justice to all those who scorn Him and His Word.
Have YOU walked and talked with God today?

I try to read my Bible daily. This gives me a daily walk and talk with God. I pray for my friends and family, my church, my town, state and country. I pray for patience so I can write and type without using only the top keys on the keyboard. The more I do this, the less sick and frustrated I feel about world events.
I can’t change or control anything that is going on. But, my God is in control, yesterday, today and forever. He holds the world in his hands, and He will mete out justice to all those who scorn Him and His Word.
Have YOU walked and talked with God today?
