"Who is We?"

Another gem sent by a peep.

President Barack Obama said in Turkey: "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

This is very interesting.

(Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.)

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apathy American's Greatest Threat

Received in an email recently from one of my peeps.

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.

I have always heard about this democracy countdown.. Itis interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.

HowLong Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler,a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh,had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1.from bondage to spiritualfaith;
2.from spiritual faith to great courage;
3.from courage to liberty;
4.from liberty to abundance;
5.from abundance to complacency;
6.from complacency to apathy;
7.from apathy to dependence;
8.from dependence back into bondage"

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul,Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19
Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000
Republicans: 2,427,000

Population
of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2
Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds:'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...'

Olson believes the United States is 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.

Apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom..

Angry Mob Part Deux

Glenn comes to Fla land and what happens. An angry mob forms. Glenn has announced that the Angry Mob will form their own community oganizations,voter drives and candidates. If you can't get rid of them hire a good pest control company. Time to rid the vermon out of Washington. Glenn has become the Piped Piper. Village officials estimated the crowd at about 25 - 30,000 people. Liberal pundits have already tried to minimize the energy of the new patriot movements and the diversity of the crowds. They continue to refuse to see the massive growing loss of independents and conservative Democrats from Obama Mania. Sarah Palin continues to be marginalized by even conservative pundits like O'Reily. This blogger knows these underdogs will have the last laugh and be recorded in history as the spark that started the fire of revolution against the graft and corruption of the thug dictator and his crew. Washington elite should be afraid,very afraid.

Orlando is the first meet up. DC in August. I love when leadership goes viral.

Why Cap and Trade is Very Bad for Nice People

Check this out
Subject: Homeowners take note











OK gang... here's what they did not tell you about the Cap and Trade Bill; you know... the other bill that no one read, next year just try to sell your house without major upfront modifications/repairs/cost!

Even though this has already passed the House, it can be stopped in the Senate. Write to your Senators and tell them "Not only NO, but HELL NO!"

SEE REFERENCES----This bill has already passed the House.
A License Required for your house

Thinking about selling your house? Look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and trade bill) This is unbelievable!

Only the beginning from this administration! Home owners take note & tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!

Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act.. H.R. 2454, the "Cap & Trade" bill passed by the House of Representatives, if also passed by the Senate, will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced. The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year. No one is excluded. However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure these voters get a tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus, you Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class America will have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else.

But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now you won't be able to sell your house. Yes, you read that right. The caveat is (there always is a caveat) that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA administrator. To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new energy efficiency requirement is and you will be forced to make modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act to comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements. Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license (called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating, you can't sell. And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the Act.

The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he alone determines to be in the government's best interest. Requirements are set low initial y so the bill will pass Congress; then the Administrator can set much tougher new standards every year. The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for private and commercial residences and buildings.

However, the EPA administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all existing homes across America . Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act. You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each year and will be really hard (i.e., expensive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody! The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements if you meet certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants.

You should expect requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year", "home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target the upper middle class (and that's YOU) and prevent them from qualifying for the grants. Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you can believe in." Sect. 204 Building Energy Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90 percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act." This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help enforce the labeling program. Some of this money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year.

Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be allowed to sell your home without having this label. And, just like your car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so often - maybe every year. But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your home should only cost about $200 each time. Remember what they said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in California it would only cost $15. That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate; a 333% increase. Expect the same from the home labeling program.. Sect. 304 Greater Energy Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d) that 1 year after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the federal government that their state and/or local codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building Code energy efficiency standards.

Yes I AM a Racist!

All through the Obama administration I have been accused of being a racist. I have denied it over and over. But now after much deep thought and soul searching I have had to admit that indeed I AM a Racist.

How did I come to this self revelation? It was while I was considering whom I would vote for in a local election for a local commission seat with an incumbent I had voted for enthusiastically. Over his tenure I had grown a little disappointed with his voting record in which he seemed to go along with the status quo. However I was a loyal voter to him and was willing to give him another term given the only man running against him was in the words of my peer group a crazy white man.

You see in every election I have over the years gravitated to voting for persons of color and culture in hopes for a more balanced representation in both my local, state and federal government. I have considered persons of color first and over their white competitors. I have also engaged in gender bias considering women over men first. After having that realization I felt I was obliged to consider the crazy white man. I found out he had been a successful local businessman, attended more commission meetings than many of those on the commission, had been a leader in several reputable community organizations, and was for limited government, lower taxes and government budget control. He also offered some very creative ideas. My guy called himself a team player. The crazy white man called himself someone who thinks outside the box. Guess who I wanted to vote for. You got it the “Crazy White Guy.”

I found in my earnest effort to be the student of Dr. King I realized I had been judging folks by their gender or color of their skin rather than looking only at the content of their character. Not voting for Obama was really my first time not voting for someone of color who ran for office. I had considered him first over McCain even though I consider myself a conservative. Chicago politicians are known to be the most corrupt in the country and McCain had had a colorful history with conservatives and I spent considerable time researching what I thought was a choice between the lesser of two evils. It was this intense research of both candidates that led me to not vote for Obama.

In this last local election I had taken a hard look at myself and found myself ashamed. I feel like I need to cover up the pictures of the candidates and only read about them to determine who to vote for. I envy the blind from birth person in this endeavor. It was a difficult realization for me, but hopefully I will be better for it.

Veteran's Day in Red,White and Blue

A Soldiers crimson blood will be spilled today, white sheets pulled over their heads. Taps will be played as gun salutes fill the blue. Not a day goes by my fellow Americans that a Veteran is created. Preservation of our Liberty does not come without it's cost. May we remember the brave men and women who answered the call for freedom and gave everything they have to allow us the honor to call ourselves Americans and live in the best Country in the World.

The Trashing of America

I remember when I was young a now classic commercial about littering and pollution. It was eloquently delivered with the closeup of one of my native American brothers with a single tear coming from his eye. He was weeping for this once pristine land. Today I feel the same eloquent closeup could be used by my brother while he would be standing in from of the White House, the Senate, the House, the streets of Detroit,the bombed and burning war front of our troops in Afganistan, and Iraq the long unemployment lines, the memorial service for our fallen Americans at Fort Hood.

Our apologizer and chief has told the rest of the country that we are evil greedy imperialists. That we deserve to suffer. We deserve to be impoverished. So much so that one American Soldier was influenced enough by an AlQueida Imam to kill his fellow soldiers in a most violent way. Now they are trying to justify this mad man's behavior because he wanted to be a conscienous objector and no one listened.

I wonder if the 442nd had those thoughts when they fought bravely in WWII. The 442nd was one of the most decorated units of it's size and length in the war. Many of these great hero's that survived came home to find their own homes and businesses gone, family members dead from disease in the camps and an America still biased against the color of their skin. And yet these proud Americans,these proud Americans went on to rebuild their lives in the country they fought so bravely for.

The absolute audacity of this administration to thumb their nose at all Americans, the will of it's people and it's Constitution and move forward a Socialistic Marxist agenda is the greatest act of Sedition by the largest body of government representatives in American History since the revolutionary war. This is the only "history" this administration is making.

I for one am fed up with this kind of trashing of America and it's brave American's. It is time to Clean House of these Seditious individuals setting fires and trying to burn our country down.

2009 Glimpse of Things To Come

The Aftermath of this weeks elections served as a dress rehearsal for Conservatives and Liberals. It showed Conservatives that indeed the Tea Party Movement is far more widespread than the Liberal Press would have you believe and the Liberals learned that Conservatives are no longer going to be able to conduct business as usual.

The Republic Party learned they can lose elections by trying to appeal to Liberals through a more liberal choice and that success will be directly connected to backing only those candidates that represent truly conservative ideals.

Even the liberal press seemed less than unhappy about the outcome. The liberal press have seemed to realize through the heroic efforts of much attacked conservative pundits on Radio,TV and the Internet the insidiously evil agenda of the Obama Administration. And, hopefully unlike Hitler's Nazi Germany let's hope that this generation's "Dictator" want to be will be stopped in his tracks by an ever awakening populous AND press.

The future of our Republic, it's personal freedom and economic future are at stake here and if anything all Americans who love the American Dream should be energized by the results of the elections. Now keep on building that Fortress one brick at a time and before long like the slave Nehemiah we will rebuild the stronghold of our nation once again and be more than able to withstand and overcome all enemies against her both foreign and domestic.
