Changing The Rules!









We are all born into this world with our own lot in life. We have been dealt a hand of cards in which we must play out using whichever combination of playing cards that are delivered unto us without a chance to throw out and draw three. What is our hand is exactly what God has dealt us. You are who God wanted you to be!

There are the few who were dealt a royal flush born into all the power, riches, and influence. There are the few dealt a straight hand that is hard to beat, born with the silver spoon in mouth and still others dealt with a full house of privilege, three of a kind, with opportunities better than others, and many more dealt with an average hand that can be played or folded depending upon the desire, ambition and chance of game how one may play.

Lastly there are the few who just drew a bad hand which provided differing suits and unhelpful status which allowed little opportunity to last in the game without the help of a great streak of luck and a few bets won. Some take their chances, and some fold and resign themselves to believe they were cheated in a fixed game even before it started.

Such is life.

Here we are each playing out their own lot in life trying to stay in the game of life an collect on bets won or paying out on bets lost. As long as the game is fair and played by the rules we each have cards to play and rely on both skill and luck to succeed. Life is good when we win and bad when we lose.

But what happens when the rules are changed during game play? What happens when the value of the individual cards are changed and now have new meaning? Those who held good cards when dealt prior to the game now hold useless cards and visa versa. Those whose cards now have value feel the new rules are fair while those whose cards now mean nothing feel cheated and robbed.

As human beings we are born into this world and raised to believe in certain principles established by our faith which is handed down to us from our parents according to our culture which was formed from many different aspects such as geographical location, national origin, race, education, and religious teachings to form our own individual spiritual belief system which may be shared by many or just a few.

In most cases our individual personal behavior and conduct derive from our core religious belief system in which we have a standard of rules we follow to stay in accordance with our beliefs and faith. Our lives are guided by this system though we are sure to err at times, but primarily we stay within those set boundaries.

As collective groups of population gathered into nations of origin and or race these nations developed, enacted and enforced these principles of behavior and conduct according to their belief system into civil and local laws which governed the individual and communities as a whole. Your personal liberties and freedoms would be defined by the interpretation of those laws, as well as the punishments and penalties you would suffer when you broke the laws. The severity of which also defined by interpretation of the atonements the penalty demanded.

Throughout history many people have suffered ungodly injustices, enslavement, oppression and even death by the masses at the hands of their own government leaders, solely from those that rose to power that interpreted the laws and grievances in their own personal belief system differently than the people did as a whole. They deviated from the core values of their religion and twisted them to fit their personal philosophy or interpretation away from the good of the people as a whole for achieving self ambition, riches, power and greed. They continued to claim they were true to their religion but had deeper revelation of understanding of their God and how their God wished for him to rule. Some of these religious rulers believed their own insight to the point that they believed they were a prophet of God or equal to God themselves. Still others convinced themselves that they were Devine and demanded to be revered as such or those who opposed would suffer according to his will. Only by means of death of the ruler, overtaken by conquest or by a successful coup could he be removed from rule by the people he governed.

History has taught to those who sought wisdom and knowledge that tyranny is the end result of a people who turns over control of their government to those who govern without regard to the will of the people who empowered them. Deviating from boundaries and traditional rule set by the people, to ensure the power remains in the hands of the people against their will should always be considered an act of treason against the sovereignty of their nation and that appointed leader removed from power.

We as a people, as a nation began our country to flee tyranny. Even still we were oppressed and governed from afar by a Tyrant promising death if we did not continue to submit and pay much more in tax than possible to prosper. It took incredible courage and sacrifice, and trust in God to defeat the King of England and sever his strangling hold on our freedom. We claimed victory and built a nation founded on the truths of God in his word the Bible and prospered as the pioneer’s had envisioned. Still, our nation continued to be influenced by the rule of England by those whose loyalties were not fully committed to an independent America. Our founding father’s selflessly sacrificed and placed their lives, families and everything they owned to compose a set of rules and laws that would ensure that they nor any future representative of the people would be able to empower the government to rule the people, but instead that the majority of the people would rule and govern the nation. This document, the Constitution was written and amended to include the bill of rights that would guarantee that each of us born American citizen’s would be free from government oppression, state sponsored religion, illegal searches and seizures and be taxed without representation. Among other rights extended to the citizen would be the right to the freedom of speech, government decent, the right to bear arms to defend ourselves from government take over and other threats.

We owe our founding fathers and all who served in defense of our country to stand up and stand firm on our rights to keep them from being infringed upon by whatever means necessary to ensure our nation remains free.

We are at a crucial point in time where all of our traditional American ways of life have been under relentless attack by those in a minority who wish to strip us of our liberty which was paid for in full by spilt American blood and have us ruled under their Godless philosophies that demand our children in schools not to be taught about Jesus Christ and his Father, God. They wish to replace Christianity with the spiritual enlightenment and guidance of their own man centered religion that worships earth itself and all religion’s void of Christianity, termed Political Correctness.

In this age of time the majority of American’s are discounted and excluded from the political process based solely on being of the Caucasian race and or believing the Christian faith. Their only acceptance being if you agree with their philosophy and ideology of moral decadence, marriages of same sex gender, supportive of twisted sexual perversions, criminal conduct, the right for women to murder their unborn child, taking the earnings of the working person to give to those who refuse to work, allowing anyone and everyone to illegally enter our country, take our jobs and use our resources.

Our freedom of speech has already been trampled on to the point that you are punished by the thought and talk police for any words spoken that might offend a member of any politically correct protected class of people such as minority groups, non-Christian religious groups, homosexuals and politicians left of center while anyone has the right to use speech to offend Christians and Caucasian’s.

It is time that those of us who believe in Christianity stand up and fight for it. It is time that those of us who believe in America and our constitution stand up and fight for it. It is time that those of us who believe in freedom of speech stand up and speak it without shame or fear. Liberalism and political correctness did not build this country!

It’s time to take it back!

What If American's Voted With Their Conscience?







In my last post I tried to explain what history has taught us about leaders of nations who twist their religion or belief system to fit their own political agenda or personal power trip in order to enslave the people under the guise of religious belief. I also outlined the dangers therein of the need of separation of church and state, and how the new America cast off the shackles of state sponsored or mandated religion, and sought to allow the individual to worship God as their conscience or spirit self led them without threat of persecution from their government.

Over the last several decades we have had the notion that politics and religion must be kept separate beat against our brow so much that we missed the point and deliberate meaning of the phrase, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. The meaning of the phrase only meant that the government could not require its citizen’s to believe and worship in a religion that the government chose for the citizen’s to follow and require them to practice it under threat.

If you have ever visited Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital, you would be hard pressed not to see so many references to the God of Christianity, scriptures from the Bible, and quotations of bold faith from founding fathers in which have been written in historical documents, carved beautifully in stone of Statues and the walls of magnificent buildings of historical purpose. It is absolutely everywhere enshrined in the fabulous and timeless architecture of our past.

The ludicrous notion that our country was not founded on the bedrock of Christian principles just will not hold water. There is no doubt of it even if you ignored the tremendous amount of recorded memoirs and journals of those who established this nation.

The thought has caused me to wonder what would happen if American’s voted according to their personal religious beliefs? Would their votes on the issue’s stand contrary to what their own personal faith would require? Would their votes on the issues be in line with the scriptures of their belief? Would American’s even cast a vote to elect a politician that does not believe the way they do?

Why?

I always hear people who are suppose to be Christians try to make the flimsy excuse of separation of church and state when they try to defend being in favor as such issues as abortion, homosexuality, etc. etc. etc. It seems to me that a person’s moral and spiritual guidance would lead him to oppose supporting such legislative proposals when it comes in conflict with their own personal belief system.

It also seems to me that people pick and choose what they will support and quickly brush aside or compromise their very own beliefs in order to progress a candidate or issue.

What would this country be like today if people backed up their belief in God, the teachings of the Bible, the teachings of Christ?

Would our children be able to learn about creation in their class rooms? Would they be able to pray to the one and only real God? If God had not been kicked out of schools would there be as much violence and death in them today?  Would our prisons be as overcrowded? Would our streets be any safer? Would families be any stronger?

Should people continue to keep God out of our decisions while choosing which side of a moral issue we are on and which candidate we should support?

This Time Freedom Depends On You!


What is motivating the Obama administration to place our military personnel on  trial for ridiculous and petty so called offenses against Muslim Enemy Combatants? This same administration is hell bent to defend Terrorists of our great country in federal criminal courts reserved for American justice of its citizens, granting our very birthright of constitutional protection to those who  were actively trying to destroy our great and wonderful country during war.
 
 Why is it that this administration shows more interest in the non-existent rights of this barbaric and ruthless enemy of the innocent, whom are not much more advanced than the prehistoric cavemen which once roamed the earth as totally based and thoughtless of anyone or anything but themselves? That is, considering there ever was a cave man. These terrorist come from every corner of the earth under the 
direction and call of hatred and dedicate their miserable existence of a so called life to the murderous Jihad of destroying innocent life to progress their religion of the most racist and intolerant kind. 
 
This Democratic and liberal administration projects the image of tolerance and diversity and brings down harsh criticism against any such perceived violation of such with high minded fervor, yet readily defends the worst and most horrific offenders of tolerance and diversity of those of the Muslim faith. 

This administration down plays and ignores terrorist murder of our country's 
young and brave military service personnel to the point that it will create new catch phrases such as "Man Made Disasters" to describe cold blooded murder by
 Terrorism in the attempt to eliminate the cruel harshness and senseless death of
 the end result of such actions. On the other hand, as in the case of the Navy
 SEALS who captured the Terrorist responsible for hanging and displaying the
 bodies of American contract workers and the captured Terrorist suffered a punch 
to the mouth and stomach, our government cannot wait to prosecute these heroic warriors for what they deem a crime against humanity.
 
How absurd!
 
I truly wonder if this administration is working against the United States and all
 who want to end terrorism and is really on the side of the Muslim religion to 
advance its ultimate goal.
 
Could this administration simply and innocently be so confused and confined in 
the box of their ideals of political correctness that they are unable to understand 
who the enemy is in this war? Or is the totality of all these incredibly asinine
 decisions from this administration the evidence of our government infiltrated by Muslims who are now in power? 
 
It is really hard to ignore that question when the newly elected and largely 
unknown president sports a self chosen Muslim name.
 
 Regardless of either scenario, to me the most frightening aspect of all is our 
congress doing nothing to prevent any of this absurdity and goes along in lockstep with them as if ignorant of the constitution and what the American people oppose.
 
 I suggest everyone carefully examine which side of the issues their 
representative votes for and begin working feverishly to eliminate those members who support this administration by supporting and voting for candidates who 
oppose them and support our country and constitution. We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines any longer and be spectators of the political process. 

I guarantee you that those against this country will not be idle and be as busy as 
they have been to get us in this disgraceful situation.
 
Wake up. Get motivated, pass on the message. 
 
This time freedom not only depends on the American soldier on the battlefield, 
it equally depends on you!

America's Slobbering Love Affair With Violent Criminals Must End



The assassination of four Lakewood, Washington police officer’s yesterday in a coffee shop underlines the constant threat citizen’s of the United States continue to be under by falling victim to violent repeat offender’s continually released among them by our criminal courts. As this horrible mass murder of four peace keepers targeted only by the uniform they wore is under current investigation it is impossible to understand the motive of such a low down and cowardly act of murder upon those who serve us all, yet we all understand the message that was sent by this low-life thug. The message is simple. Nobody is safe if the protectors of our society are able to be gunned down while sitting in a coffee shop awaiting their shift of service for the people to begin. A police officer murdered represents the ultimate act of murder committed on all who are dependent on being protected by policemen and policewomen everywhere.



We do not know all the facts surrounding the cold blooded murder of these brave and innocent police officer’s, but we do know that there is no one safe from criminals roaming our streets and towns at large which continually are captured by law enforcement and systematically released by the courts to reenter society where more law abiding citizen’s become victim’s of their prey. The continued slobbering love affair the criminal court system and lobbying groups have for these hardened repeat offenders only increase the violent crimes committed against the innocent while very little is done to correct the problems  of allowing these criminals every opportunity to reoffend. Statistics show that for every violent offender serving time in prison there are three violent offenders under supervised parole among the general public.


This is absolutely absurd and it is an injustice to every law abiding citizen. Our law makers must provide legislation that will guarantee truth in sentencing and require that violent offenders serve the full term of their sentence before being released. Capital punishment must be increased and appeals for those on death row must be shortened in order for it to have a profound effect to deter aggravated assaults and murder. One recent study concluded that 18 lives are saved for every execution carried out. This must be drastically increased in order to provide us with a safer society.


In 2008, there were 16,272 murders in the United States and of those the murders of 41 police officers. In that same year there were only 37 inmates executed in our country. There were also 834,885 aggravated assaults and 89,000 forcible rapes committed against the citizen’s of our country. There were 10,110 assaults against police officers. These figures are actually down a few percentage points yet the numbers are staggering considering how many offenders are repeat violent offenders.


When will you become a statistic in one of these categories? If you do, chances are the offender will have already been released from prison.


I have to ask, with all the sympathy given to the criminal and their civil rights, when will the civil rights of everyday law abiding citizen’s be protected by these judges and parole board members who continually release these monsters upon us and our children?


A side note: There were 594,911 arrests made by police for violent crime in the United States of America in 2008. It seems they are doing the best job possible while being grossly out numbered. What is the point of all these arrests if they are simply returned to us by the courts to re-offend?


It’s pointless!


Our criminal court judges and those responsible for decisions on releasing repeat offenders must be held accountable for those offenders’ future crimes.

Nice Try hollywood!

I watched an episode of Law and Order with my wife tonight and was really caught up quick by the suspense of the plot. The acting was superb and the story played out seamlessly. Basically it was about a computer nerd that was extremely meek and insecure with himself and he was caught up into a murder investigation as a possible witness that turned into him being the suspect. 


Later in the show it was revealed that he was a victim of a female Psychologist who used interrogation, control and torture tactics that she learned in the military during her years of service. She manipulated him by means of fear and torture until he snapped and murdered someone.

 I don’t know when this show was filmed or if tonight was the first time it was aired but I quickly noticed the leftist liberal propaganda theme that was the plot of the story line. Basically the story suggested that even those who are weak and mild and would never hurt anyone could be transformed into a cold blooded killer when that person reaches a high level of stress.

The Fort hood Terrorist attack quickly came to my mind and common sense suggested to me that Hollywood was trying to teach me a lesson of humanity here. This episode of Law and Order was intended to indoctrinate the viewer to consider interrogations and torture of enemy combatants against our country by our military personnel is nothing less than evil. They did actually call it evil in the show. Also, they intended to indoctrinate the viewer that even the most wimpy of us all can be made into a cold blooded murderer in short hand by such evil people as those who serve in the military or CIA to keep us safe.

Nice try Hollywood.

It was an interesting show but you failed miserably to indoctrinate me with your liberal points of view by means of crafty acting and the pulling of the old heart strings. You see, I am not as ignorant as you believe me to be and my memory is obviously not as short as the memories of you and your like-minded herd of sheep.


 I remember the video that was floating around on the internet showing these Muslims cutting a young American’s head off in the name of Allah simply because he was American and automatically that makes him an infidel in their cruel and merciless religion.


 Prior to that, I remember watching airliners crash into the world trade center, the Pennsylvania meadow and our Pentagon killing thousands of innocent Americans for no reason at all. A couple of weeks ago I along with everyone else in this nation watched the chaos of yet another massacre by a Muslim terrorist on our largest military base killing very young and brave soldiers.

I do not understand why the Muslim religion is held in such high regard with the political left and its radical extremists unless they truly hate this country. Buy a Quaran and read the hatred written within. They hate all of us, including you who are not loyal to this country. If the Muslim's are a peace seeking religion aside from the radical terrorist then why do they not come forward and denounce the deadly actions of the radical members of their religion?


 It is because they endorse their actions. I do not see the Catholic people strapping 60 sticks of dynamite to their women to send them into a market place to commit a homicide bombing. I do not see the Jehovah’s Witnesses pouring out of they’re white vans on a Saturday morning with AK-47’s shooting innocent people dead. I do not see the Presbyterians hi-jacking airplanes and flying them into buildings. I have never seen a Buddhist Monk infiltrate the military and shoot dead his own brother soldiers. 


This is the reality of what this religion is doing around the whole globe. And you want me to believe it is our fault? Well, to hell with your warped thinking and sympathetic apologies for mass murderers. I am all for those in charge of our national security using any means or tools of torture against these ungodly and morbid barbarians if it will help save but one innocent American life.

No matter how you disguise you’re messed up logic in the form of propaganda, I will never subscribe to it. Hollywood should be so ashamed of your political tactics that actors would hang their heads low and go into hiding. But they don’t. Instead the actors grovel at your feet for the chance of making millions of dollars by spoiling the minds of millions with your poisonous propaganda only to see themselves on the silver screen and walking down the red carpet. 


Shame on every last one of you!

Obama Care Launches Preemptive Strike of Rationing

Government Imposed Health Care Independent Studies.

Even a Termite could see through this “Independent Study” of what age women are recommended to have a Mammogram for the prevention or detection of growth or lumps which may be cancerous.

 The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women between the ages of 50 and 74 years. (Grade B recommendation)"

I can hardly imagine anyone that would believe such hogwash that has been suggested by this Obama-care propaganda. So you ladies are being told that they recommend you wait until you are between the age of 50 and 74? A good majority of you will be dead if you chose to wait for a mammogram until you reach age 74 of any number of diseases! Of course I am not a Doctor nor am I on an Obama Medical Task Force. Just wondering, are these taskforce armed and wear boots? Sounds like it to me. Could it be the task force members will also serve on the death panels? 


It is obvious that these proponents of the public option have no desire or concern with saving the Tah Tah’s. It is easy to see that the rationing of health care and preventative measures have already begun prior to the outrageously ridiculous and mostly secretive bill being passed. It is also plainly clear to understand the motive behind the so called “independent studies”, and that being that the studies will be the basis to deny mammograms to those who fall under the governmental taskforce suggested age based on the studies. 


This is a form of rationing disguised as suggested medical science or expertise in the field. I wonder if the white house passed out lab coats to the “non-biased expert panel members? Well, fair question isn’t it?  Somebody please explain the following study results. They sound very confusing and I wonder if it means their opinions of these studies are worthless?

“The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of clinical breast examination beyond screening mammography in women 40 years or older. (I statement)

If that isn’t enough to grab your attention by the Ta Ta’s maybe this is!

“The USPSTF recommends against clinicians teaching women how to perform breast self-examination. (Grade D recommendation)

That doesn’t sound like what we have learned from thousands of breast cancer survivors under the age of 40 !

Did the A.D.A. not endorse this health care bill? I wonder what the pay off was for that endorsement? This is the first of many so called independent studies that will determine what treatments or preventative measures the American people will be allowed to receive. With the popularity and awareness of breast cancer being at its all time high, I suspect this administration chose to sneak this study in before the bill even passed to ensure future savings against the incredible costs of these medical tests and that if the American people are fooled, other tests and diagnostic necessities could easily be manipulated at their will for yet more enormous savings. 


Bottom line is this. If this BillPasses, the facts of medical science will be whatever the government decides they want the facts to be. I strongly urge you to contact your members of congress and demand that they vote no on this bill and pressure other congressmen to do the same. 


Apparently Washington believes that we Americans are fools and unable to see what they plan to do with our health care. 


Are we?

Man Up Obama!

What Happened to Our Country?

It seems to me that the majority of American’s are asking themselves “What happened to our country?” We no longer recognize our country as we once did. America use to be considered the most powerful country across the globe, its president the most powerful man in the world regardless of which party he represented. Not any longer.

Our president is known world wide as a blundering weakling and apologist for the once powerful and proud. This character weakness has not been accepted by any foreign country as anything but sissy weak. Imagine the fear it strikes in the heart of our allies to see the once great nation of America with all its historical might and military strength collapse under the religion of political correctness under the guard of its high priest Obama. Do our allies feel safe with Obama as Commander and Chief when the majority of Americans do not? If our level of confidence in Obama has plummeted along with the peaceful leaders around the world, what must our enemies think? I would suggest that their confidence has never been higher.

We have witnessed president Obama’s handling of the war in Afghanistan from strong criticism as a candidate, stern direction and decision of what his plans will be, to complete and total indecision almost to the point of ignoring the Afghan war altogether. It is as clear as the ring of a bell the message he is sending to our fighting men and women and our enemy alike that he is concerned above all else what the radical left of his party thinks than what his own hand picked field General believes we need in order to win this war. President Obama is more concerned with winning political battles than the battles against our enemy.

On the home front he suspends the investigation of the Fort Hood terrorist attack to further other political goals. Was he afraid of what the investigation would reveal such as a real and present danger on American soil of further terrorist attacks? I believe so. Whatever the reason we may ponder it is crystal clear he does not want the American public to know. There are more important issues in his opinion such as this disaster of a health care plan he has staked his political career on. As the blunders of this president and his incompetent administration continue to pour in on a daily basis, we Americans are far less safe than we were before he took office.

Senator's Prostituting Their Votes For Obama Care


The price tag continues to rise as your tax dollars are prostituted for political votes on Obama care. So far, Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La. Scores the largest back alley trick from Senator Harry Reid, D-NV with an amazing $100 Million Dollars. Who is the John? The American Tax Payer! We are the only ones getting screwed! This undeniably crooked deal was secretly placed in the health care bill as an adjustment in section 2006 which allows for “certain states” recovering from a major disaster, or a major disaster area as declared by FEMA since 2004 will receive 100 Million over the next ten years in federal subsidies spent on funding that state’s Medicaid plan. That makes a grand total of only one state, Louisiana that will benefit from it. Forget about the coastal areas of Mississippi and Alabama.



It seems there is no limit to the tax payer’s money that can be spent by these Senators who are outlandishly pushing this bum health care plan not unlike the Chicago mob who would break the legs of business owners who would not pay protection money. This Health Care Bill becomes more and more costly by the minute, but what is the most outrageous aspect is how these Senators are posing as representing their constituents by holding out for more pork before they commit their vote to keep this bill on the path of passage.


These Senators are doing nothing less than prostituting their vote for political gain while the hard working citizen’s of their states are being taxed to provide the dirty pay off money. What are being sold are the rights of their constituents to choose the best health care possible for their families. Where will these political prostitutes be when the best health care this world has ever known has been replaced by a government run fiasco that could care less about your personal health? Let’s remember that these Senators will have their own federal health care coverage and will not have to rely on the scam they are selling us under the name of health care.


Congratulations Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana! You will forever be known in history for being a political prostitute. I hope it was worth your integrity.
