It’s been an awful long time since I’ve posted, and to be honest…it feels good!

I’ll begin to start doing some of this again.

I thought I’d speak a little this morning on not our, or any other all natural products, but the challenges of our faith in regards to the political agendas today in our Country, and the world in general, or better known as….

The “C” word.

We are firm believers in our faith…Our Christian faith.

I’m not here to beat you over the head in regards to our faith, but simply to express some thoughts of mine in its regard…and they’re exactly that, thoughts of mine.

If you happen to believe along my lines of thought, that’s great, and God Bless.

If you don’t, then that’s great too. That IS your right as an American, but in the same breath, it seems anyone who doesn’t feel the same way I do, does in fact get to beat me over the head with their opinion.

The world is filled with believers such as I, nonbelievers, and other religious based faiths.

I’m fine with your beliefs, although it seems today the Christian faith is getting slammed simply on account of “what,” we believe.

Much of our problem today stems simply from political correctness and its, “not offend anyone,” or to basically make everyone…feel nice.

First off, to anyone with a brain, you should immediately recognize the true intent of this political correctness as simply being …restricting speech, and undermining your right to free speech.

Secondly, it’s pretty easily seen that this “PC thing” isn’t restricting the progressive rights to free speech at all.

Only the people in our Country who believe in “their God and their guns” is this really being applied to, as our President has proclaimed.

If you believe in our liberties, morals, and what our Country was indeed founded upon, which is enforced in our Constitution, you’ve been branded today as racist, right wing extremists, anti-government, terrorists, and even teabaggers.

Between us, my son had to inform me to the true meaning behind such a statement.

Seems somewhere, somehow, the world simply passed me by, but regardless of my own ignorance of much of today’s lingo, I do understand right from wrong, but even that’s becoming confused if listening to a progressive speak.

Ever hear of spending your way out of debt as our President declares?

If you passed elementary arithmetic, you see the futility in such a statement.

Now…stealing your way out of debt is another matter entirely!

It’s pretty evident that political correctness involving people that believe as I and other likeminded individuals do isn’t the same at all when being applied to the political left.

I’ve also heard our President declare…”America is not a Christian Nation.”

This in a nutshell is my reasoning for today’s post.

We ACTUALLY WERE Founded Upon Our Judeo-Christian Beliefs

Personally, I feel that Louisiana governor, Bobby Jindal was right on the money when he stated, “Now is the time for our Nation to turn back to God.”

The media, and many Republicans as well, thought his statement as anything but a simple declaration of his belief, and totally about as politically incorrect as you can get…

After all, far too many today believe as our President states, once again, “We are not a Christian Nation.”

A poll in 2012, did anything but affirm this belief. Its findings were that in fact 75% of Americans today do consider Christianity as their religion of choice.

I’d like to share a few examples, through quotations, that yes, America was indeed founded upon our Christian belief.

I stumbled across this website just a few days ago.

“It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.”
- George Washington –

“The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.”
- United States Congress 1782 –

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
- John Adams –

Here’s a quote that I find to be so descriptive of our government today, in its blatant attempts to not only convince people our Constitution is out dated, but to totally ignore it.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
- John Adams –

“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
- Benjamin Franklin -

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Memorial –

“I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law … There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying its foundations.”
- Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Harvard Speech, 1829 –

“[The Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.”- Andrew Jackson
“Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian…This is a Christian nation”
- United States Supreme Court Decision in Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892 –

Ending up today’s post with these final three…

“Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic expression of Americanism. Thus, the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

“I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, President

“This is a Christian nation.”
- Harry Truman, President

To all the naysayers who don’t believe as I do, that’s your option, and once more by being so, I condone your opinion, but, have you ever considered my simply being right in my own belief?

If I and the great many others who believe just as I believe are wrong, I’d venture to say that we really haven’t lost a thing, but if we’re right, eternity is an awful long time, wouldn’t you think?

If you’d look in our blog section of the new site it will tell you the reasoning behind our new product names, labels, etc.

Thank you for dropping in to see us today and God Bless you and yours!

Doug

For those that know me at all, you know if you even say hello to me, well, you’ve opened up the flood gates. For those who don’t know me, this simply means you can’t hardly get me to shut up.

This morning, a 13 year old young man did just that. Not only did he shut me up, but literally blew me away with his story.

I was awestruck…

Logan lives on a ranch, and made this call to a Christian radio station to tell of his experience. The following is the taped conversation between Logan and the DJ.

Many of you may have already seen this video. If so, it’s worth watching again. For those who haven’t, take just a few minutes to hear this young man…

If that doesn’t touch your heart, I’m not sure anything will. This young man sure touched ours this morning. I just felt we needed to share with you guys too.

Have a great day, and God Bless you and yours!

Doug and Lucky

“Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. ”

“The strongest reason for the people to retain and keep the right to bear arms is, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

All three quotations were written by Thomas Jefferson, long before our present government existed.

That man had foresight, did he not?

These three quotes were sent to me from a very good friend of mine, and one whose writings have been seen on our website from time to time.

I call him AP, and this man is a true patriot in every sense of the word.

AP is a self-made man, in his 90’s, a veteran of WWII, a staunch believer in our Constitution and ALL it stands for, and a person not unlike so many of us simply because he LOVES this Country and all it stood for.

“Stood for?” Did I misspeak?

Unfortunately I didn’t.

We lose freedoms every single day.

The lawless have now become…the law.

Through executive orders, political correctness, the mainstream media, literal indoctrination of our children and grandchildren through our far left educational system, illegal immigration, and terminology being shoved down our throats to soften, or deceive true intent or mislead us in so many different ways…

“Enemy combatants” to describe terrorists, or “progressives” to describe elected elite who hide behind this, “nice term for…communists.”

Wasn’t it our President himself when speaking of Sarah Palin told us, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig?”

The very same can be said of enemy combatants, and progressives, because no matter how much make-up you try to cover it with, they are still…terrorists and communists.

Let’s just say, “If the shoe fits…wear it.”

When are WE, the silent majority, going to take a hard lesson learned from the progressive playbook and stop being…so silent?

Instead of listening ALL the time to their name calling, finger pointing, race baiting, hate mongering, divide and conquer style of politics, can we not turn the very same on them?

You know full well the difference between the two would be our facts in regards to our freedoms and liberties this Country USED to provide for us, versus THEIR jibberish they lay upon their own constituents, whom they have literally dumbed down…bought and paid for with pennies on the dollar through a welfare state, and the literal hate induced rhetoric they enflame them with.

Today, these welfare recipients are convinced it is you and I who have put them in the position they are in as this is exactly what the elected elite tell them…over and over, and over!

When in reality, it has been the goodness of our hearts to even allow this to take place. Our…love thy neighbor” Christian values.

I have made this next statement until I’m blue in the face…

WE ARE FUNDING OUR OWN DEMISE.

I read the other day, that here in the US, we now have more people on disability than the entire population of Greece.

10,982,920…almost 11 million people on disability now.

I wonder the percentage of TRUE disabled people? I’d be willing to bet it’s not even half…or even close.

Our politicians have made this giveaway mentality the norm, and have countless organizations that TEACH, teach them mind you, how to bilk we the taxpayer more and more.

Once again…funding our own demise.

Their goal…destruction of the middle class.

Once WE become dependent…game over. We’ll ALL live on…Rowhouse Street.

Social Justice? That’s what they claim.

Social Equality? Yep…we’ll all be broke.

That’s bout as equal as you can get, huh?

You better think about that…bein broke scenario, people.

It won’t be just broke financially.

It means broke mentally, and spiritually as well.

Once tomorrow has absolutely NO possibility of ever bein better than today, it’ll be a pretty despondent world we live in, huh?

Every single day…the same.

Week after week.

Month after month.

Will there be food on the shelves?

Milk for your babies?

Gas for your car?

Heat in your home?

If so…could you possibly afford it?

Not if we continue to elect communists into office.

I’m crazy you say?

You only have to educate yourself in a very simple and easy to do way. It will tell you quite clearly the end result our elected elite are striving for…

Read history…World history.

Better yet, I’m sure many of you know friends who came here from communist bloc countries…ask them.

I have a buddy from Poland. Lost EVERYTHING he had to the communists…

TWICE!

Moved here for the opportunity our Country provided for him and his family.

He thinks we’ve lost our mind in our choice of elected officials!

He says, “DOUG…you are living today in a mild form of socialism…it will continue to grow, corrupt, and ruin this Nation. You guys don’t read history?”

“ Oh…it starts of nice enough…free food…free rent…free, free, free…(soundin familiar?)Then suddenly…no milk for your children!”

This man has lived the so called, “socialist utopia.”

What the uneducated don’t realize is that the only utopia that will exist will be exclusively for…the elite.

My buddy worries himself sick that now, after coming to the good ole USA and our political environment today, he’ll now lose everything…for a third time!

A few headlines…

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to “exploit” and “weaken” the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.

Wouldn’t that have to be considered as using your political power to pursue your own political agenda, as well as the destruction of any other mindset, our Constitution be damned? Doesn’t that reflect as a true democratic society?

Funding our own demise?

Man in Wisconsin sentenced to one year in jail for attempting to defraud disability claiming to be blind.

Seems he collected $115,000 in unlawful Medicare benefits and evaded $178,000 in taxes between 2004 and 2009 in addition to disability payments.

Evidently, in our government, when you’re using someone else’s money (OURS!), you seem to be much more lenient while passing it out.

But shoot, they don’t read the bills passed into legislation anymore, why would I think they’d be much more stringent and check people out prior to deeming them…disabled?

Crazy me, huh? What could I possibly be thinkin?

Funding our own demise?

Healthcare anyone? I find it bizarre that more people have lost their credible health insurance since the rollout of Obama care than have been enrolled.

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, whose documentary 2016: Obama’s America took a critical look at President Barack Obama and was a surprise hit in 2012, will be arrested in New York on Friday for allegedly violating campaign-finance law.

Is it just me, or do most remember ALL the questionable campaign financing our President received from overseas, much from anti-America peoples?

Very convenient, the law…when “the lawless” are now, once again…the law!

In closing, we need to take a good, long, hard look at what Mr. Jefferson’s three quotes are warning us of….democracy losing out to giveaway programs, a government grown way, way too large, and our rights through our 2nd amendment to keep and bear arms.

Unfortunately, here in our Country today…silence is no longer golden.

Not on our part!

We as believers in our Founding Fathers, and what freedoms they laid out for us are going to have to start opening our mouths, just as loud, and just as often as our far left leaning political opponents.

We HAVE to stand up and be heard…

You guys have a great day and God Bless.

Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart.

Doug and Lucky

2014??

Can you believe it? Shoot, seems like only a couple months back I was still datin my checks as I’d write em out 2012 although 2013 had already rolled in??

Best piece of advice I can give all you younger guys and gals out there is simply…don’t get old!

I’d like to start out this morning with a few words from the late Jerry Clower.

They aren’t just as he told it, but pretty close.

He was speakin on women’s lib, and the woman in charge of this movement comin to see his wife, Mrs. Clower.

She pulled up in their drive unannounced, and proceeded to ring the doorbell. After bein let in she was brought to where Jerry was watchin TV, with evidently Mrs. Clowwer bein tied up at the moment.

She burst in to where Jerry was sittin and declared, “Well Mr. Clower…I’m here…to see your wife.”

Jerry asked, “Bout what?”

She said quite arrogantly, “I’m here…to liberate her!”

Jerry bein Jerry, just calmly said,

“Well, if ya noticed them 3 Lincoln Continentals in the drive as ya pulled in, and 2 of em bein hers, then ya had to be aware of how nice Mrs. Clower’s house is, and then the door bein answered by her housekeeper, and finally as you were led down the hall with a TV playin in every room till ya got ta where I’m at, well…I gotta tell ya…”

“Mrs. Clower…”

“DON’T WANNA BE LIBERATED!”

Now, couple points here…bein Southern, and a redneck, I like Jerry Clower first of all, BUT, in today’s world, most of “the educated” look down their noses at us Southerners, and quite frankly see us as bein simply… “dumb as a pile a rocks,” wouldn’t ya agree?

But on the other hand, many educated people I happen to like very much. These people are a tremendous asset to our Country and its inhabitants.

Because of these people, and most happening to be rich too by the way, have throughout our existence as a Nation boosted our economy through the jobs they produce and the investments they made.

This in turn gave this Country one of its greatest assets…the ability for us as citizens to… “LIVE the American Dream!”

It also enabled us to have a strong middle-class, which today our elected elite see as a problem, only because they can’t hold us…under their thumb!

So today, our educated, although mainly the problem lies in our “liberally minded educated,” we’re looked upon as not bein… “the sharpest knife in the drawer.”

On the flip side, we as, “We the People,” for too long looked upon these educated liberals as…nuts!

Sadly, the opposite was true.

Educated yes, but only in the sense that “We the People” bein counted on to sit on our backsides while they continued to pass legislation each and every day to take away our fundamental rights and liberties our Country had bestowed upon us.

They had us pegged!

They weren’t nuts as we early on perceived them to be…they were very smart and very patient. They had…

AN AGENDA!

Through affirmative action, community organizing, redistribution of wealth through the guise of… “helping out the poor and oppressed,” through educational indoctrination, our media refusing to broadcast the real goings on in our elected elites agenda, political correctness, no child left behind, illegal immigration, no term limits in the House or Senate, and countless, countless others…

The liberal educated were working 24-7 too literally, and today arrogantly, destroy our Country as we have known it.

Is there still a Republican Party??

Democratic Party???

Nope…just putting on a show for us, of…good cop, bad cop.

Our mistake?

Takin for granted the good ole USA had in its Constitution all the safeguards needed to insure our rights.

We had…

Checks and balances!

We, as workin people, had families to raise, mouths to feed, house and car payments to make, and jobs to look after.

Then our Christian, even if you’re not a Christian, we still shared Christian like beliefs to…help our neighbors.

This too bein one more virtue the “educated liberals,” pounced on in their ability to kick-start all the welfare or social programs…it was…

The goodness of our hearts.

Ya know, lookin back, as bad as I hate to say it, but dern if we, as in, “We the People,” through our negligence, moral standards and trustfulness, literally HAVE been actin like…we did just “fall off a turnip truck??”

Northern AND Southern alike!

Seems when New York City was swearin in their newly elected mayor, they took one more swipe at, We the People, and our middle class through…

Racist Accusations

Let me just say, in my own opinion, I’m sick of such allegations. Our Country has for quite a while now been anything but racist.

Sure, sure, there are examples of racism from time to time, but most made by nuts, black or white, which brings to mind the example of, “it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.”

The knockout game comes to mind.

You see the public demand by our inner cities people of somehow what the working people make is theirs too, whether the redistribution was made by black or white, or yellow or brown.

Anyway…at de Blasio’s inauguration the Rev. Fred Lucas says, “Let the plantation called New York City be the city of God, a city set upon the hill, a light shining in darkness,” he declared. “Elevate our valleys. Make low our mountains. Make our crooked places straight and our rough places smooth. Oh God, oh God, oh God, break every chain, break every chain, break every chain.”

Funny to me, this plantation rhetoric seems a tragic misstatement.

Misstatement in the fact that it was Dr. Martin Luther King whom pretty much broke the chains involving civil rights, yet just as soon as they won their rights, they sold their souls, replaced the chains upon THEMSELVES once more, and reentered the plantation, only this time…the GOVERNMENT PLANTATION.

Well Rev. Lucas, the racism and chain bondage you speak of was not of the white people of our Country’s doin so, as you guys seem to love portrayin it as, but was simply done by our own elected elite, black, white, yellow and brown, who so proudly proclaim…we’re here to help you guys!

In truth, nothing but a pack of lies, that have been executed through, well…a pack of lies, and the dumbin down of our inner cities populace.

Why the good Rev. and cohorts won’t speak the truth, and just come out and say, “Hey, we’re gonna take from you, dictate to you, and enforce laws upon you that will destroy your work ethic, your family units, your souls, and your Country is beyond me.

It has nothing at all to do with racism, but power and greed. They play the fiddle and the dumbed down dance to their tune!

They point their fingers and declare the whites, or any conservative thought process, NO MATTER THE SKIN COLOR, as evil, greedy, corrupt and…racist.

This thought process, reverse racism, or whatever you want to label it as, has been goin on since the mid-sixties, or again…bout the time the blacks won their civil rights.

But this has been taken to a new level by the Barack Obama’s, the Eric Holders, the Mark Lloyds, the Hillary Clinton’s, the John Kerry’s, and even the pastors…the Fred Lucas’ and the Rev. Wrights, to name but a few…religious leaders or elected elite.

Personally, I feel this to be very, very dangerous.

You have on one side of the fence a race of people who hear plainly, day after day, after day, from our elected elite, and yes, pastors of their own congregations, that the whites have destroyed any hope of them bein able to achieve anything for their family.

We as a race, have stolen from them, and won’t allow them anything else except a life of misery and pain.

They’ve been indoctrinated that everything we’ve worked for is part theirs too.

Then, on the other side of the fence, here we sit as whites, no other crime than that, simply bein white here in our Country today, and we hear this sentiment expressed by our elected elite that…we’re racist!

We have a President elected in our Country we didn’t like BECAUSE of who he was, NOT what he was, or stood for…yet, we’re racist on account of this.

There happens to be a football team named… The Redskins…we’re racist.

We want to keep as much of our money as we can, first off cause…we worked for it??? Well guys, ta tell ya, but that’s racist too.

On, and on, and on.

Ya don’t think our elected elite don’t understand at all that this IS…creating a racial divide among us?

Of course they do, and are actually advocating this very thing.

Once more…it ain’t about helping someone, well maybe it is…but only helping our elected elite and their minions!

Why are they pushing this racial divide so adamantly or maybe better put, so vehemently?

Well…we all know that too, don’t we, but that’s another subject.

Some Quick Numbers

These stats from 2009 mind ya, so what must they possibly be today???

Welfare spending is stretched across 13 government departments and agencies, 17 budget functions, and 71 separate programs.

President Obama plans to spend $10.3 trillion on welfare over the next 10 years. That’s $250,000 for each poor person currently living in this country.

From the “Heritage Foundation:”

•Welfare to poor and low-income families is now the third most expensive government function after aid to the elderly in the form of Social Security and Medicare and after education. We spend less on national defense than on welfare.

•Welfare spending in 2008 was $714 billion. That’s 13 times greater than welfare spending in 1964, when President Lyndon B. Johnson started the War on Poverty.

•During his bid for the presidency, Obama repeatedly bemoaned the fact that the war in Iraq cost each American household about $100 each month. By comparison, welfare spending costs each American family $560 per month this year; next year, that number will jump to $638.

•And speaking of war, the federal and state governments spent $15.92 trillion (adjusted 2008 dollars) on welfare from 1965 to 2008. By comparison, the cost of all American wars since the Revolution is $6.39 trillion (adjusted 2008 dollars).

So we’ve spent $15.92 TRILLION dollars since 1965 until 2008…on welfare??

Look around…sure seems to have done a lot of good.

Those educated elite are on top of it sure nuff, ain’t they?

NOW…bout that Jerry Clower thing this mornin…

If you’re “livin on that racist plantation” that you guys and our elected elite speak off with such hostility, cain’t be all that bad, huh?

Seems that this “plantation livin,” or even joinin a womens liberation movement are pretty much one in the same as far as bein set free, cause in order to BE liberated…

Ya gotta WANNA be liberated!

Seems pretty clear ta me…that ain’t the case!

You guys have a great day, and God Bless!

Don’t ever forget to keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Doug and “Lucky”

Not a lot of time this morning, but I just had to vent a little.

Seems our elected elite have found it in the goodness of their hearts to…

Vote on this week, a bill to…

CUT OUR RETIRED MILITARY PENSIONS???

Do you believe this?

Can you believe this?

Alright…now my rant.

Yet another example of our elected elite doin whatever, and whenever they want. More proof that we no longer have a say in our election process as we are spoon fed the candidates by the powers that be.

The architect behind this…the one and only Paul Ryan.

Ya know…you remember Paul, right?

After all, HE was the Republican candidate for vice-president on Mitt Romney’s ticket.

Comin back to you now?

HE…who was supposed to stand by the virtues and beliefs of our Republican Party and be our voice…crafts a bill to take money from our veteran’s pockets.

EVEN DISABLED VETERANS ARE NOT EXEMPT!

Ah…these very same veterans are the very people who insured these political elite today the FREEDOM to live in a Country where they could be elected…AND SERVE!

Maybe it’s just me…but weren’t our officials supposed to serve…

THE PEOPLE?

One of Ryan’s reasons really irks me…to no end.

I quote…

“We give them (our veterans) a slightly smaller adjustment for inflation BECAUSE THEY’RE STILL IN THEIR WORKING YEARS and in most cases EARNING ANOTHER PAYCHECK.”

REALLY???

Hmmm….seems to me far, far too many of our elected officials are guilty of this very same thing…retiring…then takin another job….BUT, with a couple MAJOR differences.

The first bein in their regard, the term, “work” is…VERY overstated!

Wouldn’t most agree?

The second is the retirin or leavin one public sector job, and immediately takin another…public sector job…which by the way is paid for by…you and I once more…the taxpayer!

Do THEY take a pay cut?

Nope.

Do they collect retirement benefits which include pensions, health care, AND in many cases a cash buyout?

You betcha they do!

Ever heard the term DOUBLE or TRIPLE DIPPIN?

For those who have…why do we as taxpaying citizens tolerate such?

For those who haven’t, well, I suggest you step outta the closet for a while, or worse yet, stop takin our elected elites word on, well…

ANYTHING!

A few quick examples…

Today there are over 13,000 former California elected elite collectin pensions of over $100,000 per year!

In New York, over 16% of its retired police and fire department employees collected pensions of over 100 grand.

In Michigan, according to Ballot-Pedia, their public sector employees are allotted, get this…

12 to 13 PAID HOLIDAYS a year…

15 to 35 days of vacation time a year…

13 sick days a year…

I’m just thinkin…take off the weekends and how many days a year…

DO THEY WORK?

Must be nice to have a bottomless pit to draw from, huh?

If ya ask me, our elected elite could do TONS OF CUTTIN…right in their own purse strings…wouldn’t ya agree?

By the way, our elected elite decided against not havin to cut our veterans retirement by simply…

REFUSIN TO CLOSE A LOOP HOLE for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS which costs, once again, we the taxpayers an estimated 4.2 BILLION for a child tax credit allotted to these…ILLEGALS!

4.2 BILLION DOLLARS to once more…ILLEGALS!

YET…we see fit to cut our veterans pensions???

I saw on a newscast from Indianapolis I believe where one Hispanic family, livin in a mobile home was collectin child tax credits on…29 children.

Yep…29 children.

Once the news crew investigated…there was only one child livin there, YET, our elected elite, or the IRS decide to take absolutely…

No action.

We’ve become a Country, once more, of…NO REPRESENTATION!

Possibly our elected elite might want ta sit down and discuss this no representation thing with ah….the British maybe??

Again though, I find this mind boggling the Democrats refused to close this loophole, but instead, decided to cut our veterans retirement???

More Rantin…

So, what kind of predicament does this put us into as a Country, in regard to our election process?

If a candidate today believes in morals, standards and virtues…you’re out!

Liars, cheats, and me, me, me have become THE STANDARDS of our political process.

If a candidate believes in the family unit, raising your children as you see fit, and would like to see our children’s standard of education once more raised to the point we are once again among the world’s best…sayonara!

Educational indoctrination is the new goal today.

Global Warmin, don’t drill in the US…we might kill a swamp rat or two, shoot, even though we’re the breadbasket of the world…lets ship our produce in…from outside the US.

So, through the process of dumbin down our youth, and although I’ll be labeled probably as a racist for statin this (although I’m not)…our inner city peoples…or people of color…our elected elite have figured out they can buy the vote for literally…pennies on the dollar.

Remember also, all the times a president has spoken the words… “OUR ADMINISTRATION will STOP the out sourcing of our jobs! We want to put Americans back to work!”

Lip service…that’s all we get in our Country today!

Not too much shocks me anymore today…

“Pass it, THEN we’ll see what’s in it”… “Read the bill, are you kiddin me…we don’t have time to read the bill”… “If you like your insurance, you can keep it”… “If you like your doctor, you can keep him”… “OH, I’m sorry I misspoke in regards to you bein able to keep your insurance…or your doctor”…

Lies, lies, and more lies.

What have WE become as citizens of this great Country to allow such behavior?

If a candidate todays speaks of our Constitutional liberty’s (written by old, out of touch white men as the left likes to declare), or speaks of God….see ya!

They have dirt dug up on them and are drug through the mud, or today I must admit, I personally feel they’re threatened, along with their family.

It took me 3 attempts at the driver’s license office to renew my license. When Deb passed, I had no idea where my original birth certificate was…so I HAD to go get another one.

My wallet had been stolen a couple years back so…I had to go get a new social security card.

To be honest, I don’t remember what the last problem was, but there was one more hurdle I had to clear to once more…renew my driver’s license.

The kicker here…I HAD MY OLD LICENSE…WITH MY PICTURE ON IT!! They couldn’t just type me into the computer along with all MY INFORMATION, and see without a doubt that Doug Bronson was INDEED…DOUG BRONSON.

The very same Doug Bronson who HAD been drivin in the State of Florida for the last…46 YEARS!

YET today…our elected elite declare it AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS, or EVEN RACISM, to ask for an ID to be allowed to vote???

GEEZ people…that’s probably the GREATEST right we have as Americans…the right to vote!

SO HOW COULD INSURIN THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE, AND THAT YOU ARE IN FACT A LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN, BE IN ANY WAY OFFENSIVE IN YOUR DUTY TO…CAST A VOTE?
YET, in this crazy mixed up world we live in it evidently is??

If we have a candidate today who speaks of a work ethic…he is racist among other things, and our mainstream media destroy him, or her.

Our elected elite today harp on financial aid…better known as entitlements.

To help someone is a horse of a different color, but to cause the total financial dependency of individuals to their elected elite is beyond grasp to me.

If you’ve lost your job…my heart goes out to ya, and to be quite frank, we ain’t livin on easy street here either.

Ya want to pinpoint the blame…well, ya needn’t look any farther than our elected elite.

They’ve destroyed jobs, just take a look at health care, but also TOO much government regulation, TOO much unionization, and TOO taxation.

On top of this, we have literally GENERATIONS of people in this Country who have…NEVER WORKED!

NEVER!

Through the indoctrination of our people through our elected elite, they are now CONVINCED it is THEIR RIGHT to take from us and it be given to them!

I remember vividly Michelle Obama declarin… “You need a piece of the pie too…”

Well, get your butts off ta work and go to the bakery, or go purchase the ingredients from the neighborhood grocery…and get your own pie!

I promise you right now that you can keep YOUR PIE, cause I don’t want any of it!

My reasoning is pretty simple…

It’s YOUR pie, not mine.

How can I possibly declare what is rightfully yours…be mine too?

If I started showin up on the doorsteps of the entitled people on the first of every month, ya reckon they’d share THEIR WEALTH with me? I mean after all, ain’t it part mine too, accordin to our elected elite’s reasonin?

I’d sure think so, wouldn’t you?

SO…how bout leavin our veterans retirements alone, and focus in on takin the welfare benefits from these very people who have never worked, never intend on workin, and as it stands now…asin’t gonna work!

Oh, wait a minute…

If we were to do that, wouldn’t that cause riotin in our Country? Anarchy? Possibly even race wars?

Yeah…it very well could, but ya know what…you only have to look at our elected elite once more! They, and they only, orchestrated this too!

So, in closing, I’d just like to say to all our elected elite, Paul Ryan as well, there is a day of reckonin comin….maybe not in this life, but the next.

Eternity is a very long time.

Your power today to destroy men’s souls, pass laws to take more and more from the taxpaying citizens of this Country, spend, print and borrow money that our children and grandchildren could never possibly pay back, and total disregard our Constitution and its rights given to us by our Founding Fathers will one day come back to haunt you…with a price.

Your greed, your corruption, your lack of morals or virtues, and once again, your lust for power, will eventually be things that will cause you much grief, if not here or now, will do so down the road.

Once more, eternity is a very, very long time.

It is…

AN eternity.

What was it Saul Alinsky, the father of community organizing once said…something to the effect of…

“You have to give acknowledgment, or a “hats off,” to the greatest community organizer that ever was… So great that he won his own kingdom…

“LUCIFER.”

How can you possibly debate, or even visit with people of such a mindset?

To be honest though, I’m glad it’s the left with this type of viewpoint, and not I!

The day will come when these people do in fact reap their just rewards.

Me…I’m hopin I’m in a much better place… “Keepin a smile on my face, and one in my heart!”

God Bless you guys!

God Bless the USA, and Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night…even though it’s morning!!

Doug and Lucky

Yeah, I know…you Yankees (is usin the term “Yankee, politically correct??)” must think I’m a “titty-baby” whinin about it bein 38 degrees here when you guys at times consider 38…a warmin trend! Lol.

Hey…Happy Thanksgiving guys!

We here on our place wish you the very best, and ya’ll see many more in the comin years!

God Bless!

As Thanksgivin bein a day to contemplate all of our blessins, let me share a few of my thoughts on this topic.

First off, I’d like to thank our president for the loss of millions of health care coverages across this great land of ours, with myself bein included in those numbers.

I heard of your statement proclaimin to be sooo very sorry for any hardships you may have caused to we, the American taxpaying citizen by mispeakin, but down here where I’m from, we call it by a different definition altogether.

We call it simply…

LYIN!

Better yet, it’s actually STEALIN too!

Gotta feed that monstrosity today that used to be called…government!

We’ll weather this storm as well, kind sir, just as we always weather any adversity tossed our way, cause we’re simply not “quitters,” but…Ameri-CANS!

So, my statements this morning on “obamacare” ain’t whining, only I do wish you’d do us all a favor…how bout you and all your cronies get online and sign up for it yourselves, and stop the moochin of the hard workin, law abiding, tax payin citizens to pay for YOUR golden policies.

Simply put…it’s named for you, so you shouldn’t have any problem getting coverage, and surely you’d be proud to set this example, huh?

Possibly a little “heads-up” for ya…don’t try to sign up online.

Movin along here this morning, I’d like to you for bein sooo transparent in your policy makin, just …as ya promised us.

Guess ya just…misspoke again, huh?

Oh, for I forget, I’d really like to express my sincere thanks for you expandin our Country’s land mass. I musta been asleep on that one cause I just woke up one morning, turned on the tube and there ya were, tellin us we had…57 states!!

That’s a good un!

Where they at, and what they called?

Ah…how bout Professor Gates and his remark to the police officer investigatin a possible break in at the good professor’s home? When asked to come out onto his porch the professor replied… “tell your mama to come out onto the porch!”

Or something very similar to it.

Makes me warm inside to know our children and grandchildren are bein taught by such intellectually gifted teachers in the use of the English language.

Plus, when this incident first took place, your own remark was simply implyin…the police were racist.

Thank ya mr. president for keepin such an open mind and not playin…the race card!

Thanks also for your wise insight at the time of the shootins at Fort Hood, and cautionin “We the People” to not jump to conclusions that this was a terrorist act!

Shoot…

Me bein me, and not nearly so wise as you, I personally considered this exactly what it was…a terrorist incident, but again, what do I know, cause when I was readin this guy was shootin our people, shoutin, “Allah Akbar,” crazy me thought, “ya know what…that’s one of those dern radical Islamic terrorists!

Thanks for enlightenin me on this although it still seems to me this continuous “misspeakin” on your part simply looks like…ya can’t seem to keep your foot outta your mouth??

I’d like to thank you for your superior intellect in proclaimin to us all, in a time of our dire economic future, that your solution to this is actually very, very simple… “We’re goin to SPEND our way outta debt!”
I will say you’re doin an excellent job in this regard…what is it now…

$17 trillion and countin???

I’m sure our children and grandchildren would like applaud you for a job well done as well! Things are lookin very good down the road for those guys, huh?

Oh, I could go on and on, but I’d like to stop and truly say a few things we can truly be thankful of…

Family and friends.

Our health.

Although not what it once was, and this is not in reality our political leaders fault, but OUR OWN for bein so complacent on far, far too many issues, I’d like to give thanks for our Country…still the best place on earth.

I’d like to give a special thanks to our military, past and present. These young men and women are one of the reasons we can lay our heads down at night and sleep peacefully.

Most of all, I’d like to thank our Good Lord, for all the blessings HE bestows upon us each and every day!

There are many, many more reasons to be thankful this thanksgiving morning, but I’ll only list those few besides…thank you to the writers and journalists who daily speak out and keep us informed as to the REAL goins on in our Nation today!

Judi, Brian, and the Canada Free Press are among the most informative.

Still seems kinda funny to me that two people who so love this great Nation of ours and are concerned enough to attempt to give us a heads up daily as to what we as a Nation are confronted with from our political elite…are from Canada!

Go figure???

God Bless you guys…we love ya’ll!

Thank you as well to this next lady whose post I’ll put up this morning…I received this from my good friend, AP.

There are some gifted people who have the ability to put into words that which most of us are thinking. Maureen S. is an ardent American patriot who was born in Pittsburgh, PA, and retired to VA, in 2000. Free from the nine-to-five grind of writing for employers and clients, she began writing political commentary to please herself and express her convictions.

The Architect of Destruction:

Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentor…seems to have never left him.

Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a demagogue.

A Very Real Thank You:

This too was sent to me by my buddy AP, who is 95 years young. It is on…Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped.

At 5, began studying under his cousin’s tutor.

At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.

At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.

At 16, entered the College of William and Mary. Also could write in Greek with one hand while writing the same in Latin with the other.

At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.

At 23, started his own law practice.

At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.

At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America ? And retired from his law practice.

At 32, was a Delegate to the Second Continental Congress.

At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence .

At 33, took three years to revise Virginia ‘s legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom.

At 36, was elected the second Governor of Virginia succeeding Patrick Henry.

At 40, served in Congress for two years.

At 41, was the American minister to France and negotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams.

At 46, served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington.

At 53, served as Vice President and was elected president of the American Philosophical Society.

At 55, drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of Republican Party.

At 57, was elected the third president of the United States .

At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase doubling the nation’s size.

At 61, was elected to a second term as President.

At 65, retired to Monticello .

At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.

At 81, almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia and served as its first president.

At 83, died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence along with John Adams.

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: “This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

AP also states…

“I wish we could get this out to every American! I’m doing my part. So PLEASE…do yours.”

You guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and God Bless!

Be sure to, “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

Doug and Kathrine (aka…“Lucky”)

Stand firm…How many considered this statement, stand firm, as speakin to our elected republican officials?

Well, it ain’t, although that’s just EXACTLY what they need to do!

Oh, there’s no doubt that I’d love to see those guys do just that…stand firm in their duty to we the American people, and finally get the gumption or backbone to stop this insanity goin on in DC today…BUT, I don’t see it happenin.

I’d read yesterday they had, “made a deal,” with the dems, but Obama turned it down.

Is this true?

Who knows anymore, but part of “this deal,” would have allowed the funding of…obamacare??

Today our two party’s represent…good cop…bad cop.

It’s a show folks…that’s all.

As bad as I hate to make such a remark, that’s exactly what it is.

First off, to have our elected officials, democrat or republican, allow funding for this monstrosity known as obamacare, is a travesty, which by the way is not condoned in any shape or form by the MAJORITY of the American people.

Need I say the very same on the subject of… “Have a Merry Christmas?” How has it come to pass where 12 to 15 percent of our people have full say in matters such as… “Merry Christmas?”

I’ll state this once more…the MAJORITY of the American people say… “DON’T do it” to obamacare, and we’ve been sayin it from the get go.

Pelosi statin that we’ll see what’s in it (read it in other words), AFTER we pass it.

I can’t think of any better example of total contempt of the American people than those words.

Here is a VERY well paid, VERY well compensated through a golden retirement package and LIFE LONG healthcare paid for …BY US, and sadly, a VERY powerful ELECTED official who just pretty much heard the racket bein made by we the American people, screamin… “Don’t do it,” and with absolutely no remorse, or feelin of any obligation of any kind that she indeed is workin…FOR US, she literally just…

Gave us the finger.

This is the most atrocious, dastardly, unfathomable piece of legislation to ever come down the pike…bar none.

A job killer is putting it mildly…VERY mildly…I’m VERY scared of what all IS in the dern thing, but as Pelosi stated, we ARE sure fixin TO see what’s in it!

You only have to look around to see company, after company slashin employee hours. This will only get worse…and worse…and worse!

Amazing thing though, is isn’t it funny, that AFTER READIN the bill for themselves, the dems, and repubs alike, after seein some of what was in the dern thing, suddenly…they didn’t WANT ANY part of this in regards to THEIR, or THEIR family’s health care??

So guess what?

They declared THEMSELVES…EXEMPT from this great health care plan.

Funny, isn’t it, that Obama, ain’t covered by…obamacare??

WHY???

I mean accordin to them, this IS what the American people wanted. This IS what the American people NEEDED! This IS the greatest thing since buttered toast! THIS IS the answer to ALL our health care concerns!

ALL, that is, EXCEPT the very people who wrote it, implicated it, and decided that even though the majority of us DIDN’T want it in the first place, they’d just go ahead and shove it down our throats.

Let’s see…hmmm…they’ve nationalized some insurance companies, they’ve nationalized some financial institutions, they’re nationalizing health care, and also, in the process, they’ve “nationalized” thousands more IRS workers to see that they collect their forced nationalized health care monies, that aren’t a tax mind you as our commander in chief declared, but in reality…are a tax.

They’ve also nationalized the car companies, two anyway, and awarded their “buddies” the unions, who in reality were the back breakers in the car companies bein able to turn a profit, with, guess what…

A twenty per cent stake in the companies they broke!

Seems this “socialism thing” works pretty good if you’re…one of their comrades, huh?

The unions been destroyin companies for years now…steel mills (gone), textile mills (gone), car companies, the postal service cain’t turn a profit, Am-trac, etc., etc., etc.

You only have to look at Detroit today to see the ghosts of good days past.

Couldn’t be that Cloward-Piven thing could it?

Ya know, that theory where in order to help destroy America as we know it, you do it through overwhelming our economic system with welfare and the like.

That gimmee, gimmee, gimmee thing where your goal IS NOT to get people OFF welfare, but ya put MORE and MORE people on welfare!

Ya keep putting more and more on it until, guess what??

We can “know” longer fund it.

I use the word no in that tense simply because you and I the taxpayer have kNOwn for some time now that , no we cain’t continue to support this, yet…we do it anyway, although once more…

We knew we couldn’t!

In essence, what we’ve done is simple as well…

WE’VE FUNDED, our own demise!

Ya want more people on welfare, the best way to do so…cut jobs!

Through the unions, government regulations, and excessive taxation, and NOW…healthcare, jobs vanish.

Companies makin a profit is not greedy, not selfish, and not wrong as the dumb downed are told.

It is simply people with visions, go getters if you may, who through a hard work ethic live a dream, and through their dream, they grow their company, or business.

THROUGH THIS, and THIS ONLY… THEY create jobs.

Government today declares this, as evil…selfish…greedy…AND, of all things…UN-AMERICAN!

There was a time not so long ago that this vision had a name…

The American Dream!

Today, to have such a belief is simply, racist, extremist…and even terrorist!

Anyway, one other point to this rant is simply that…seems the unions are, or soon will be…exempt from obamacare too!

Great job comrades!

You’ve sure done your part in this takeover of the USA too. Funny though, that of ALL the jobs the unions have killed, at the expense of their own members, they still exist??

Ya reckon this obamacare thing could possibly be the government’s trump card in job destruction? I mean, all these companies are already cutting hours because of it.

Plus, less hours means less bring home money for your family. Less bring home money means…more welfare.

So ya see, this very well could…

Naw…couldn’t be…seems I’m just an old, outdated, white guy! ***

Standin Firm

In reality today, my statement, “Stand Firm,” means for you as true Americans, stand firm in YOUR beliefs.

Stand firm in your values and standards.

Stand firm in your integrity. Your name DOES mean something! Start actin like it, okay?

Stand firm in your right in regards to freedom of speech. Political correctness be damned!

Stand firm in your right to live the American dream. You CAN start your own business and be successful in doing so, although this today is tougher than it’s ever been here in our Country.

Stand firm in your right for your children to get an education, even if it means home schooling them.

Stand firm in your beliefs that our Constitution IS what we were founded upon, and is not an ***old, outdated document written by a bunch of…white men, no matter how our elected officials try to spin it.

Stand firm in your belief that we DO live in the greatest Country on earth, and that our freedoms and liberties are GRANTED to us, and not to be tampered with.

Stand firm in your beliefs that this period of immorality, unaccountability, and total Godless behavior too shall pass, although it will take action on all of our part for this to take place.

Stand firm that right, still is right, and wrong is just that…wrong. This will never change, again, no matter how our elected officials attempt to spin it.

Stand firm in your belief that work is part of life. It teaches all of us responsibility, and that through hard work, good things do indeed happen. It’s not easy, and it takes time, but through a good, hard work ethic you have the opportunity to grow.

Stand firm in your belief that your children are…YOUR children, and NOT the responsibility of our government!

Stand firm in your commitment to raise your child AS YOU see fit.

Stand firm in your commitment to discipline your child, if need be. This is done out of love, not contempt. As hard as it is for liberals to understand, but we discipline our children, once more out of our love, and attempt, to show them right from wrong.

If we didn’t love our children, then we’d not discipline them…we’d simply just not care, plus, if you pay attention, this is but one more cog in the destruction of our great Country…

The destruction of the FAMILY UNIT!

How many children today…don’t know their father?

How many women today, don’t know who the father OF their child is??

How many women today are REWARDED for havin children? The more ya have, the more you’re paid!

Once again, we’re fundin our own demise. It’s our tax money fundin these…lotto winners. The more children ya have…the bigger your lotto jackpot!

You have the right to keep and bear arms! This IS non-negotiable!

Finally, you have the right to believe in, and worship God…but this too is under attack, isn’t it?

Contrary to remarks made by our president…America was founded as a CHRISTIAN Country.

We are…ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

America…GOD DID shed His grace on thee, and…IN GOD, WE TRUST!

Look up…I promise He will not put on you more than you can bear. He’s with you 24-7.

I know it’s tough. I know I see the goings on in our Country, and you betcha…it ticks me off, but first and foremost, I try to keep the faith, and trust in God.

Perhaps this will help you as well, so…stand firm.

God Bless, and “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart.”

Doug and Lucky

How are you? Let me start off this morning by wishin all a very Happy New Year to each and every one of you!

Ya miss me? LOL!

I think my last post was around the 26th of November??

At that point I became, as some have said…a recluse. Actually I considered it more along the lines of… “prairie-doggin!”

I’d pop my head up ever so often, then, disappear again.

After a couple weeks I started getting calls and e-mails from friends and family, and it reminded me of Jimmy Hoffa when he went missin.

Alright, I guess it WAS more along the lines of Jiminy Cricket than Jimmy Hoffa…

Anyway, there was a lot of concern…from A LOT of people. Shoot, I didn’t remember that I EVEN KNEW that many people???

Okay, okay, ya take off the bill collectors and there REALLY wasn’t that many people callin on me!

Seriously though, there was a lot of…

“WHERE ARE YOU?”

Well, to be honest, I wasn’t sure either, if ya wanna know the truth of the matter.

BUT…I’m back!

I think?? LOL!

Man…these holidays were ROUGH, I’m here to tell ya, but, here it is 1/1/2013, and dern if I ain’t glad!!

2012 was great…up until June 14th. From 12:15 pm of that day forward, I began a whole new life. Not one that I had chosen, but actually one God chose for me.

Was I angry?

NAW…

You betcha I was! Not at anyone, or anything, in particular, but I was in fact angry.

I thought I was over the loss after a little while, thought I’d grabbed the bull by the horns once more, a character trait that has always helped me through any type of adversity that ever reared its head in my regard.

The truth of the matter was that I was lost.

I didn’t think I was, but yes sir, I was lost!

Thanksgiving was rough, but Christmas…was off the charts!

You know what though? I know in my heart now that this has passed. Darkness is indeed light once more.

I may not totally healed as of yet, but I gotta tell you guys, that the healing HAS now started…in earnest!

Life IS good again!

My “prairie-doggin” days are done!

Well, maybe not with the bill collectors! LOL!

But, with this being said, I’d like to say I’m sorry.

You guys have all been so awesome to Deb and I both. I love you all!

ALL your thoughts and prayers in our behalf are SO appreciated, and to be honest with you, my simply, “goin underground,”or, my “Dub time” as I like to call it, although much needed, and of much help to me, was unwarranted in your regard.

You deserved a heads up, for sure, and I failed to give you guys that. Not from my stop posting for a while standpoint, but from a, I didn’t drop a line or two here and there just to say…I’m fine.

Well, once again…I’m back, so suffer the consequences! See, YOU DO, have to be careful what ya wish for, huh? LOL!

So you’ll be getting “Dub’s point of view,” on most anything and everything that comes to mind!

Remember…you asked for it! LOL!

So startin off with that, here’s a” little food for thought” this mornin. Thoughts that I hope, can, or may, help others.

It never mattered to me what obstacles I faced! I simply…worked through em!

Never say never, was my motto. I never considered the word no as an option, about anything. In most cases, if I wanted something bad enough, my perseverance, my work ethic, and the word no, once again, never being a part of the equation, I just…went after it!

I gotta say though, that when Deb and I first met… “that Heifer” made me REALLY WORK for it! I’m not sure if I ever worked so hard in my life for ANYTHING, as when I fell in love with her.

Lookin back, there’s an old sayin that is SO appropriate in her and my regard…mostly HERS though!

“If ya want something bad enough…it’s worth workin for….and waitin for”

Well, the “workin for it part wasn’t too bad…but that waitin for it part, was killin me!” LOL

I always knew in my heart, that the only thing that could ever keep me from reachin my goals in life, ANY of them, was simply me.

If you fail from time to time at something, and we all do at one point or another, you don’t consider, “Oh my goodness, that didn’t work out so good, huh? I’m through!”

Many think, “Dern, I failed because of him or her, or this or that, or I failed because life just isn’t fair.”

Well, in reality, life ISN’T fair, BUT, life IS…what YOU make it!

God created us all, right?

Yes, he surely did.

Did he create us all equally? Yeah, I’d have to say that he did just that.

BUT…that’s where the equality factor stops.

It’s up to YOU, whether you’re a leader or a follower.

It’s up to YOU, whether you’re successful or not!

It’s up to YOU, to decide if you want something bad enough that you’ll put forth the EFFORT to work, “daylight to cain’t,” if that’s what it takes, in order to see it through, or, “seal the deal.”

In all reality, YOU DO indeed, reap what YOU sow!

Proverbs 6:6 begins…

Take a lesson from the ants…you lazybones!

Read it guys…you’re supposed to work!

Another example is from Proverbs as well…Proverbs 16:26

It is good for workers to have an appetite;

An empty stomach drives them on.

Doesn’t seem to be the case today, does it? Seems as if our fellow citizens and our children as well, are being taught this is simply NOT the case. No, no!

Today we’re told that what others have…is ours too. This through what our elected leaders describe as…social equality, yet in truth, actually is much better described as…social poverty!

The “dumbed down,” yep, it really is indoctrination, society our leaders have been so outrageously successful in creating, actually BELIEVE, our leaders are in fact…helping them.

Now in all honesty, that IS dumbed down, is it not?

Today we read about our leaders working so hard, so exhaustedly, in saving our butts from going off this…Fiscal Cliff.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it so hard to grasp that these leaders of ours working so hard to save us from this, are in reality, the very SAME people…who got us into this mess!

We’ve become a Nation of…IDIOTS!

The worst part of all this is simply that…we’ve got NOBODY to blame except ourselves! We allowed this to take place…a little here, and a little there!

Have we been complacent?

Ya reckon??

In our regard, from a complacency standpoint, we now have a government that runs amok in self-centeredness, self-greed, and self-power.

We’ve turned away from our Godliness as a Nation, yeah, they’re taking that away from us too, and in turn have become…a Nation of fools.

We turn to Proverbs once again…Proverbs 17:12

It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs

Than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.

Our leaders today have become pretty arrogant in their power, huh? Actually pretty arrogant being possibly the understatement of the century, huh?

Evil seems to be more appropriate I’d say.

Look at Proverbs 16:30

With narrowed eyes, people plot evil;

With a smirk, they plan their mischief.

Then Proverbs 16:27

Scoundrels create trouble;

Their words are a destructive blaze.

Hard to imagine any type of destruction being any more disruptive than the continued loss of our freedoms and liberties that our Founding Fathers laid out for us.

Overreaching government is the name of the game today. More and more power for them, while “We The People” have literally became a past tense.

Through things such as political correctness, a media gone to bed with the left, our educational system in bed with the left as well, excessive government spending (there’s another one of those understatements again), excessive government regulation, excessive taxation (which is fixin to get much, much worse), unionization, reverse racism, and AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, our liberties are no longer liberties, but instead…allowances!

We’re ALLOWED to do this, We’re ALLOWED to do that.

We’re no longer ALLOWED to think for ourselves, raise or discipline our children as WE see fit, right down to…what they eat!

Look around you guys! Are any of you happy with society as we know it today?

Now they want our guns.

Was this past shooting a tragedy?

How could anyone in their right minds not consider it as that? Sure it was. A tragedy in the worst sense of the word!

Yet, once more, in such a senseless shooting as this, it was perpetrated by…a NUT!

My heart goes out to all the victims, their families and their friends! It is terrible that once again, society has stooped to such a level. Once again, I have to consider the restraints applied to us anymore of our religious convictions, and our governmental restrictions placed on them.

BUT, I have to again consider the restrictions placed on our lives by our elected officials as well.

It’s everywhere people, and now, through a shooting once again carried out by a “bad apple,” “We The People” are clearly being targeted once more by a government that’s whole objective is to simply control EVERY facet of our lives.

Don’t let a crisis go to waste is their motto, and boy howdy, have they gotten good at NOT letting a crisis go to waste!

This latest, is one more fine example of this.

Multi-capacity magazines, rifles, pistols, and the like, are all under attack.

Funny thing though, the hardworking, freedom loving, LAWABIDING , tax paying American is the one most likely to suffer once more.

You outlaw guns, then quite frankly, only the outlaws WILL have guns! Yes, it really is that simple.

Our leaders tell us, “Oh, you don’t need these types of weapons to…hunt. ‘

No, actually you don’t, BUT, their statement is only a smokescreen for their TRUE intent….CONTROL!

Contrary to our leader’s statement of hunting as the reasoning for this new round of gun control activity, in reality, our 2nd amendment states it a little differently…as our protection from a tyrannical government.

I won’t bore you with the numbers of all the different regimes worldwide that oppressed, silenced, and MURDERED their own citizen’s.

I will say though, that you only have to look back in history, and the numbers are in the tens of millions.

One reason for this taking place…gun control.

With the atrocious conduct of our leaders today, and their TOTAL quest for ABSOLUTE power, what is probably the one most detrimental fact they realize that can indeed put a stop to their madness, or at the very least, cause them caution as to how they go about…finishing the job?

OUR GUNS!

Give em up people…and kiss your remaining freedoms goodbye! Sayonara!

I, by NO MEANS, am advocating violence of any kind. It goes against all my morals, virtues, and standards, BUT…so does the loss of my freedom, my children’s freedom, and my grandchildren’s freedom.

This is too heavy a price to pay, or cross to bear. We must not, or cannot, allow this to happen.

It is OUR RIGHT, as citizens of this Great Nation…to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS!

Again, not to hunt, but to protect ourselves from our own governmental powers!

It’s pretty obvious that citizen’s armed with single shot, three shot, or even five shot weapons have little to no chance of protecting their freedoms from governments run amok.

Broken down into “football lingo,” the best offense…is a good defense!

Well, I’ll closeout on that note…

See, I tried to tell you to be careful of what ya wish for, cause…I’m back!

Still miss me?? LOL!

Thank you all so much, once again, for all your concern. I’m just fine. Thank you!

God Bless you all! I hope with all my heart that 2013 is the very best year any of you guys have ever experienced!

Let me say goodbye for now, with a saying from one very special lady, who I promise you today, is one very special angel.

She lived this expression each and every day of her life, and I promise you she wants every one of us to live it as well!

From Deb to us all…

Please be sure to “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

I love you guys, and thanks for everything. You truly are a blessing in my (our) regard!

I went to bed at 9:30 last night and got up at 2 am, number one because I was tired so I went to bed early, but secondly because I really didn’t want to undergo the stress of watching the election returns. I figured I’d just get up, get on the internet and see that as a Country, we’d realized the terrible mistake of this past 4 years and redeem ourselves at the voting booth…until now.

I figured that after the citizens of our Country had witnessed such atrocious spending, and printing of money, and the massive borrowing by our political elite, that through our process of free elections, we’d right our ship…until now.

I figured that even though many had made the mistake of voting in “a person of color,” mainly because of guilt associated by actions that were taken so many years ago to suppress the “people of color” by others, that they’d now realize that actually none of these actions had ANYTHING to do with them, and that their casting their “sympathy” votes during the last election was in reality, wrong…until now.
I really still believed that the citizens of our Country were smarter than making the very same mistake again, in regards to the associations in the past, and present, that our President had, and still has…until now.

I believed that, as a whole, our children and grandchildren’s futures were much more important to us than what our politicians obviously thought…until now.

I believed that the freedoms and liberty this great Country of ours stood for, and represented to us, such as our “freedom of speech,” would be appreciated once more, and that we’d finally silence such absurd thinking created through, political correctness…until now.

Which by the way, this very same political correctness, AND our freedom of speech all allowed our political elite to misconstrue, turn around and twist, and misrepresent through wording, and by these actions, to finally use these very same freedoms to destroy our Country as we’ve always known it.

They literally used these very values to turn our world upside down, as law-abiding, taxpaying, hard-working, family oriented, and a Christian people (majority wise), into an agenda of everyone being equal. This IS…social justice, or social equality. Welcome…

I’d have never believed this to be possible in our Country…until now.

I’d never have believed, in the farthest stretches of my imagination, that we, as a Nation, could possibly ever elect a President that has shown such disrespect of, and towards our Nation’s Flag, the VERY SYMBOL of our freedoms, not just once, BUT TWICE, mind you…until now.

I never thought I’d wake up to find that our Country has been so totally blinded, through these so called, “entitlement programs,” that we’d literally vote in, again mind you, an administration that has any and everything on their agenda for THEIR power and greed to continue moving forward with absolutely NO consideration for, “We the People”…until now.

I’d have never considered that by literally having to show some type of ID at a polling station, proving who you are, could ever POSSIBLY be seen as oppression against some class of people…until now.

YET, in renewing my own Driver’s license, I had to display my birth certificate, or NO license. To an extent I can understand this, BUT, not when I’ve had a Florida Driver’s License, in my possession for 40 years! Same license, same picture on my license, same guy in the picture.

I’d have thought that the simple right to vote, and the importance of your vote, in electing as a free society your leaders, would have much more significance, and I’d expect much more emphasis by our system to actually PROVE who you are, than say, your Driver’s license…until now.

I’d have thought that seeing what a monstrosity the entitlement programs have become, simply through the funding now required to keep them afloat, that “We the People” would overwhelmingly…toss the bums out. Until now.

I believed that the Health Care our administration shoved down our throats, and the horrendous implications small, and large business, even individuals such as yourself are now faced with, and now actually becoming enacted, would be more than sufficient to demand change at the highest levels…until now.

I always believed that we Americans, through our work ethic, our values, and our will to succeed, by only having the chance our Country provides for us in these regards, would ever allow any type of socialist movement to take a foothold in our Country, much less gain total power, would…COULD…never happen…until now.

I’d never have dreamed, here in our Country, that I’d EVER wake up and wonder…can I, as a small business owner…survive the next 4 years…until now.

I’d never have dreamed, that I’d live to see business in our Country, BIG business too, laying off people, cutting their employee hours below full-time status because of their own concern that they no longer know what these very employees are going to cost them through taxation, AND Government FORCED Health Care and regulation…until now.

I’d never have believed that the American people could ever not understand SIMPLE economics…until now.

One simple explanation of this is that IF you have a jar of money sitting on your kitchen table, as an example, and you continue daily to go take a little out here, a little out there, but NEVER put any money back into your jar…eventually, the well runs dry. There is…no more money.

This is where we’re at.

The very people who consider it a right to get something for nothing, will be dumbfounded when “the jar” runs out of money, and their first question will be… “WHAT happened?”

Ah…geez guys…I don’t know??

In all honesty this morning, I have to say, I’m very glad God is in my life. Through him, and the strength I take from this, my life is still secure. He sees to this.

I never thought I’d ever say this, until now, but this morning I’m very glad, elated actually, that my dear Deb has left THIS world.

I say this because I believe in my heart, we as American citizens have a very tough road in front of us and by her being gone, I’ll not be worried in her regard. Personally, I can take whatever they throw at me.

Even if we’d have had a change in the Oval Office, our path as Americans, and the challenges that lay ahead of us would have been very difficult. Now…they’ll be EXTREMELY difficult.

BUT, the path that lays ahead for us is still…up to us.

It is not too late to exert our will. We simply have to face the adversity that will come, face it head on, and accept it for what it is. It is not too late to demand our own rights, to bond and support one another as believers in all the greatness our Country STILL provides for us.

It is up to us to BELIEVE in ourselves! To not take no as answer, and to still demand accountability by our elected elite.

I made this statement yesterday, and I’ll always know that it is entirely correct…WE, again WE, allowed all that has gone wrong in our Country to take place.

It’s not our politicians fault, although they are now in the driver’s seat, because of our inability to act as one, and snuff out the policies that they’ve enacted, and by our inability to act as one, their policies became more and more arrogant. This is human nature.

Complacency, my friends is our biggest strike against us. We, the silent majority…were silent far too long, and we now see we’re paying a very heavy price for it.

The game is not over though…not by a long shot, IF, we no longer see complacency as simply…not wanting to rock the boat!

Watch our politicians very, very carefully from now on. You HAVE to become a player in the game NOW, or, the game will soon be over.

Understand though, that using football lingo, we’re only fixing to start the second half…of the game!

There’s still two full quarters to play. Get involved, stand up for your rights, because no matter what our government would LIKE for you to believe, they are still just that…YOUR RIGHTS!

Let’s stop punting the ball, and go on the offensive for a change. We’ve got to start pounding, demanding action from our representatives, and by this…us gaining the initiative once again!

One thing about the “true” American people is that we have always have had a resolve to win. This literally is bred into us! Who likes to lose? Not me!

“We the People” are at our very best when our backs are against the wall. Our true character comes out, and we have the mentality we’ll ALWAYS win, with a no matter what it takes attitude!

Nothing is unattainable, and I STILL believe that our children and our grandchildren’s futures are far too important of issues for us to throw up our hands and quit. We will overcome any obstacles we have to face.

Yes, we’ll endure some tough times, but there’s also a saying that is very appropriate here… “When the going gets tough…the tough get going!”

To look at this any differently is so…SO…UN-AMERICAN!

I’M IN…how bout you guys? Just hold them accountable, and not accept anything less from them. By simply doing this, we’ll win the second half…AND the game!

Also, let’s all thank Judi and Brian, the Canada Free Press, and all the others out there just like them that have spent the time, effort and had the concern to bring us the TRUE goings on in our Country. Your work has been so appreciated by each and every one of us!

Please…keep it up!

God Bless you guys, God Bless America, and let’s keep her…”The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave!”

Through it all, let’s keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Big day tomorrow huh? Actually, tomorrow will be a VERY BIG day!

After 4 years of massive debt, massive unemployment, massive growth in the public sector, massive growth in Americans now on some type of government aid, massive attacks on our religious freedoms, massive growth in regards to ‘socialist agendas” through government sponsored programs such as ACORN and the pitting of the “haves,” versus the “have-nots,” and the teachings instilled by this that you DESERVE (DESERVE mind you), your fair piece of the pie too!

All of this is simply…STEALING! There’s no other term or explanation for it. Again…it IS stealing!

We’ve had 4 years of pitting “people of color” against anyone who is designated as…racist. Racist meaning… most anyone white.

This from the very guy who promised to put racial differences aside. This from the very guy who while campaigning KNEW, that by him being black, although only half, he could create a guilt factor among voters that it was indeed time to put our racial differences behind us, and would vote for him to ease their own “guilt” from atrocities committed by others LONG before most were even born.

He played “the race card” to a tee! Still does! They actually, literally, advocate racial division in our Country.

Listen to em!

Professor Gates… Travon Martin…Rev. Wright…Louis Farrakhan…Rev. Meeks…Affirmative Action…immigration, legal and illegal…and Mark Lloyd of “there are some good white people in positions of power, yet…they must step down to allow more people of color, homosexuals, women, etc.,” plus he speaks of Chavez and his “great revolution.”

How many times have you heard blasted across the airwaves that IF you didn’t vote for Obama…it was simply because of…RACE?

Your ability to cipher for yourself that through his associations with people of less than desirable character THROUGHOUT his life, his refusal to wear a flag pin or give our Flag the proper respect during the playing of our National Anthem, ESPECIALLY while campaigning to be the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, his refusal to celebrate National Prayer Day, but to in fact observe Ramadan, he declares America NOT a Christian Country, even during an interview with George Stephanopoulos stating that, “Some people have a problem with my Muslim identity (or something very similar), then Stephanopoulos stepping in and saying, “You mean your Christian identity,” and Obama replying “Yes, that’s what I meant.” Uh ,huh…

He takes it upon himself during the campaign that…his middle name CAN’T be used. Shoot, Hussein’s bout as Christian sounding as it gets, huh?

Then the guy states that we, after Maj. Nidal Hassan shot and killed many of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, all the while shouting Allah Akbar…should not jump to conclusions that this incident may have been an act committed by a suspect with radical Islamic sentiments???

Now who in their right mind would NOT have considered this an act committed by a radical Islamist? To me, the shouting out of Allah Akbar was kinda a giveaway…jus sayin!

We saw children singing praises to this guy after his election, we’ve had a member of the mainstream media make some sort of remark about “peeing down his leg,” when hearing Obama speak, we’ve heard the guy being proclaimed as… “THE MESSIAH???”

YET, in spite of all this, which personally I find ALL very, very disturbing…in the eyes of all these far-left nut cases, yep, that’s EXACTLY what they are, they then have the AUDACITY to declare me, only because I refuse to vote for someone so blatantly, AND arrogantly ANTI-AMERICAN, that my only reason for doing so, is simply…I’m a racist, far-right, uneducated redneck.

Uh, huh….okay.

Then I read this morning about the devastation inflicted on the Northeast by the recent storm. Terrible damage, loss of life, people without homes, and the ones with homes…without power.

My heart, along with SO many others, go out to these people, right? Yes indeed.

YET, states such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, etc., send crews to help restore power to these people who had been hit so hard by the storm. This in itself being a testimony of the goodness in people’s hearts to “step up” in times of hardship to help their neighbors, their fellow human beings, and their fellow Countrymen.

It’s times like these that make me proud to be an American.

Sadly though, not everyone seems to feel this way. Once more we see greed, power, and pretty much everything dealing with any type of morals, virtues, or integrity “shot down” by political agendas.
Our Country was founded on OUR RIGHT to work, wasn’t it?

But once more these dern unions, who by the way are in Obama’s pockets, and support his ideology wholeheartedly by donating their time, effort and monies (BIG time monies) to his campaign…STOP, you hear me, STOP some of the very crews sent to the Northeast to aid in restoring power to…the people.

One example…

Decatur Utilities general manager Ray Hardin said Friday during a Fox Business Network broadcast that ”we were presented with documents from IBEW that required our folks to affiliate with the union. And [that's] something that we could not agree to. And it was our understanding, and still is, that that was a requirement of working in that area.”

This is an atrocity! Also, there’s no need to discuss it any further. If you can’t see the impact of such actions, and their total disregard for the wellbeing of the people within their own cities and states, then God help you, you are indeed a lost soul.

One other thing about this…if you think for one minute that Obama and his minions have had no idea of this type of strong-arm tactics taking place, then you’ve been living on another planet!

So, pardon me for asking, but HAS anyone seen “The Land of the Free,” or “The Home of the Brave Lately?”

Me either.

So, take a look at the road we’re seeing our Nation go down today. Do you feel good about this?

Once more…me either!

So, let’s all get out tomorrow and vote for Mitt Romney.

Was he my first choice? No. BUT, I do like many of the things he brings to the table, and versus what we have in office today, in my opinion where to cast our vote as God-fearing, law-abiding, hard-working, taxpaying Americans is simply…a no-brainer!

Plus, I don’t see ANY chance of our Country continuing to survive such a socialist based ideology without suffering irreparable damage. To be honest, for us to recover the damage already done is going to be a hard row to hoe. Very painful in fact!

You want to understand the shape our Country is in? You only have to look at today’s Democratic Party. It is this in name only anymore.

Our economy? Our educational system? Our work force being depleted? Our jobs leaving here, going overseas? Our massive debt created from welfare programs? Our situation in regards to illegal immigration? Our inability to have…the right to work in many states? Our weakening in regards to our National defense? Our inability to “drill here” and do away with our dependence upon foreign oil?

Our having a “Health Care Reform System” shoved down our throats, literally AGAINST the will of the people, which by the way, when and IF, implemented, will allow widespread government intrusion into your personal lives that will be the start of “our freedoms” literally being a thing of the past.

Our inability to speak out against any of this “throttled” by the complete absurdity of a phrase implemented and used by the left allowing them ALL the gain, and leaving “we the people” voiceless. This through… “political correctness!”

Stop also and ponder the absurdity of us, as Americans, now no longer being able to use, or express our faith-based, well intentioned sentiment, of wishing others…to have a “Merry Christmas.”

Think again of such unheard of examples of our school children not being able to display our Flag, simply because we “may offend” Hispanic students during the observance of Cinco de Mayo??

Or our children simply having a lemonade stand but having it shut down by city officials.

Right down to dialing on your phone, here in America, and being told…if you speak English…press 1??? IF WE SPEAK ENGLISH???

Any of this bother you??

Well, you can lay the blame at the feet of the Socialist Party. I mean the Progressive Party. Actually, I MEAN the Democratic Party! Sorry…

Get out and vote tomorrow! DO NOT make the mistake of having the mindset that, “Well, I really don’t like either candidate… so I ain’t voting period!”

BIG, BIG MISTAKE if you have this sentiment! EVERY vote counts!

Also, please don’t throw your vote away by voting for obviously someone on the ballot that stands absolutely NO CHANCE of winning. This is only throwing your vote away.

This IS a two horse race…that’s it. It boils down to Romney versus Obama…there IS no other name on the ballot that amounts to a hill a beans! A vote cast to any other, is just like…stayin home and not voting at all!

Remember Edmund Burke… “Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little!

GO VOTE!

In closing let me say just a couple other things…

Today, our Republican Party, to me, is a far cry from what it has pretty much been. This too is only how I look at it.

They too are advocating welfare and entitlement programs. They too are enjoying their own brand of health care, retirement packages, and great salaries, subsidized by… “We the People!”

This meaning…they too have to be held accountable! We all need to be much more involved in our political process.

Our elected officials start twisting around, rewording, or going against our Constitution as laid out by our Founding Fathers…then they need to be BOOTED out of office, without the opportunity to stay in power until the end of their term and then voted out.

“Booting out of office,” simply meaning them being… “drop-kicked through the goalposts of life!”

Accountability…we’re forced by these elected elites to be held accountable for our actions and deeds, right? You betcha!

It’s past time they’re held to the very same standards! Don’t you agree?

Well, you all know what tomorrow brings…vote wisely, and from your heart! Let’s all do whatever we can to be once again… “The Land of the Free,” and “The Home of the Brave!”

You guys have a great day, and God Bless! Please…keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!
