You know, in regards to expressing my personal views involving politics today, I’ve gotten to the point where it really saddens me in my attempt to understand the path we’re being led down anymore as a Country.

I try and rationalize steps I see being implemented by our government, and keep an open mind in their regard. Maybe it’s because of this, maybe the reasoning for this decision was because of that, yet once I get down to the nitty-gritty I see only one outcome…basically, total governmental control and the advocating of a socialist agenda.

To me personally I see the end of our Republic looming on the horizon. To stop this steady march towards an end I surely don’t want to see, not so much for me, but for my children and grandchildren.

I’ve lived and experienced being a part of, and living in, the greatest Country on earth…the United States of America. If we’re not very, very careful, this legacy will come to an end.

Deb and I want to write about gardening, canning our vegetables, the benefits derived from juicing and eating good, fresh vegetables. We want to laugh and cut-up with you guys. We want to enjoy our lives, as we always have, and now that we too are getting older, we’d like a sustainable lifestyle, and a certain financial future.

We’ve sacrificed and worked hard for this, but sadly today, with our economy teetering on the brink of financial collapse, we aren’t so sure, so certain of our future. This is not because of decisions we’ve made, but atrocious and outrageous decisions made by our elected officials.

Then, their backing by the mainstream media of a political agenda being reported to the people, and not the truth. This is very worrying to me!

You know, I posted yesterday about, “Political Correctness Be Damned.” I talked about our elected leaders and our media declaring that “we the people,” need to be compassionate towards the poor and oppressed. We should want to help.

My first response to such an accusation is anger. Honestly, it angers me to no end. First off, this accusation is an out and out lie. But, so is the same accusation that I didn’t vote for Barack Hussein Obama because he was black, or basically that I’m a racist. This too is an out and out lie!

But…my point today is about wasting my hard earned money on…deadbeats! Yeah, I know, that’s a pretty harsh accusation in its own right, but it is the truth in many, many instances! I’m only calling it as I see it!

On top of this, the people passing out my hard earned money are incompetents! Incompetents…with no accountability in taking care of…my money and YOUR money!

Literally, there IS NO accountability! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m sick of this!

A few examples I Googled up this morning after seeing on our local news about more governmental program fraud through giveaways! Again, this is sickening, and outrageous in the simple fact…NO ONE is accountable!

First of all, taking, and that’s exactly what it is, but stealing is the more appropriate term, from one individual to GIVE, no less, to another individual!

It is…the buying of votes! Compassion plays no role in this conversation, yet, that’s exactly what we’re accused of…having no compassion for, quote, unquote, “the less fortunate!”

You want to talk about having NO compassion? How about the total destruction of a man or woman’s desire to better themselves, to grow and prosper, and to live the American Dream through a good, honest work ethic?

Are the teachings, or indoctrination of people that you’re ENTITLED to free food, free housing, free cell phones, free everything, a show of compassion? Of course it isn’t! Yet this is what our politicians have promised them!

This is THEIR idea of compassion, or what they have panned off on their constituents, AS compassion! They started in the inner cities, and now for decades have had these poor people under their thumb with the promise of even MORE “entitlements!”

Have these people’s lives been made more enjoyable on account of the giveaways? Just stop and look at the crime in these areas. Hell, the police won’t go into many of these areas, because of the crime. Violent crime! Yet our politicians consider themselves compassionate.

They, our powers that be, have destroyed these people’s souls through such blatant misuse of their power. They have not helped these people through compassion, they’ve ruined them. They’ve convinced them that you and I the taxpayer have cheated them out of their fair share.

Now today, these people don’t have the work ethic, the motivation, the desire, or the need to look for employment. They don’t have the gumption to go out, start a new business, and become productive themselves in our society.

In turn, by doing so, they’d be helping our Country to grow, stay strong, and maintain the freedoms we’ve always enjoyed!

Is this not sad? It is to me. To destroy a man’s soul is just got to be one of the greatest sins against God, against mankind, and against your own soul. Yet, it doesn’t seem to bother our officials in the least. Power, pure greed and influence is what this is about.

It’s so sad that their constituents either don’t have the intelligence to see this is only a scam, and that their elected officials have NO compassion for them in the least, or they’re so narrow minded they just frankly, don’t care!

You guys know also that to the media and many in power today we’re considered, as conservatives and many Independents, as racist. It baffles me that this is an accusation thrown our way, yet many, many people of color in power ,know the true agenda behind these give-aways yet endorse them fully.

I’m the racist here, according to the left, yet I could not condone for one second my KNOWINGLY hurting another individual’s right to work, raise their family, or better themselves!

Yet the ones calling for us to “have compassion, and to share in our good fortune,” are causing people to live deeper and deeper into poverty day by day.

Plus, by doing so, they too, through taxation, regulation, unionization, and theft, are burdening “we the people” with a financial obligation we cannot continue to sustain at the very same time. Killing two birds with one stone is a good analogy. This IS orchestrated, this is the plan, and this is our future, mark my word!

A couple examples…well, several examples of no accountability through give-away programs.

Understand this does not include governmental agencies such as the Postal Service, Am-trak, our politicians “golden” retirement plans, pensions, or health care. All which anymore are unwarranted, undeserved, and in reality are theft as well.

This is mainly JUST give-aways…

From the “Long Island Business News.”

• Two Westbury women allegedly conspired with a child care provider to steal $4,988 from the welfare system when they signed attendance sheets indicating their children were attending taxpayer-funded day care during a period when their children were out of town or out of the country for more than a month.

• A 52-year-old Plainview woman and her husband allegedly failed to report their true income resulting in $33,618 in illegally obtained Medicaid benefits.

• A 56-year-old East Meadow man allegedly failed to disclose his true income and falsely stated that he was working part-time at a pizzeria in order to illegally qualify for $15,844 in Medicaid and Food Stamps benefits. A DSS investigation revealed that the pizzeria that the man reportedly worked for does not exist and that he is employed as an “executive chef” at an upscale restaurant.

From the “Bradenton Patch.”

From “Tampa Bay Online.”

TAMPA —

Over about 20 months, Juma and two other men at his store scammed the food stamp program out of more than $857,000.

Is this incredible? Have you ever heard, or seen before such examples of incompetence? This is OUR money my friends?

Honestly this has to stop. This is not right to take from one and give to another. It is wrong! The examples above are just mere drops in the buckets of what goes on daily across our Country.

I WILL help my neighbor, my friend, my family. Hell, I’ve stopped before and helped people I had NO clue who, or what they, were. This is, through my own upbringing, the Christian thing to do. I don’t mind.

I DO mind the government first, falsely accusing me of being non-compassionate, even racist, if I disagree with them period. This too is a form of indoctrination of the very same people, once again, they are supposedly helping out…through these programs.

They are teaching them literally that what’s mine is also theirs, even to the extent of violence against the taxpayer, who in turn is funding their entitlement anyway. It’s not Obama, Pelosi, Reid, or even Romney or any other politico…it IS the taxpayer who funds this!

Yet, we the haves (what little Deb and I do have), are evil, corrupt, and greedy, according to the have-nots. All through their indoctrination by their own leaders that yes, this is true! Talking about putting “a spin” on things??

This has become so obviously a political ploy, or agenda, for continued political power, that in all honesty it is treason, pure and simple! It is!

Is not the undermining or destruction of a Democratic society, built upon and around a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, and the guaranteed freedoms of that Country’s citizens an act of treason? Of course it is. Yet this is exactly what is going on in our Country today! Open, arrogant, blatant political misuse of power! The destruction of our Country as we know it!

Our good friend Gary sent this video to us…please watch…

Interesting comments on governmental employee benefits, plus the giveaway programs. The comparison to Greece is interesting as well.

He also claims we can’t stop the giveaways (entitlements and pensions) on account of anarchy and violence in our streets. Where did this problem start? Politicians in their quest for buying the votes, their political power, and total control over “we the people.” All at our loss, and their gain!

We cannot sustain this. Personally, I would like to see these “entitlements” reigned in. I advocate help for our elderly, our handicapped, and our veterans. This I have no problem with.

Financial help for deadbeats (see above examples of fraud with our, the taxpayer monies), ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT entitlements (what is that all about in the first place), and “golden” government pensions…tossed in the trash! This once more is theft of our money, and in the bigger picture, the theft of our Country!!

As bad as I’d hate to see it, violence in the streets at this point, may be the ONLY solution we have to get these outrageous and unsustainable programs stopped. Terrible as this is to say, and honestly, I do not condone violence, BUT, I do not condone the destruction of our Country either.

This has to stop somewhere.

A couple quotes from Thomas Jefferson in closing…

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Thank you guys for putting up with me one more time. I get so disgusted with such blatantly wasteful misuse of taxpayer monies.

Our next post will be back to the subject of gardening, and cutting up some. Please take note though of the happenings taking place in our Country. Try and educate others in this very important Presidential election coming up this year!

Thanks once more and God Bless you and yours, and God Bless America!

Dub and Deb

Today I’m gonna talk some about the state of our Country. To be honest with you all, I’m disappointed in our media, our educational system, our elected officials, and the road we’re being led down through a political agenda.

It is not the path intended by our Founding Fathers, our Constitution, or our rights as American citizens! It instead is an agenda being forced upon the good, law-abiding, hardworking, America loving, God fearing peoples of our Republic.

To be quite frank with you this morning, it is in fact a Revolution taking place within our Country. It is a Revolution pitting the haves versus the have-nots, the pitting of socialist agendas versus the capitalist identity of our Country, and the productive versus the non-productive.

It is a Revolution demanding that the very people that love our Country, and everything it stands for versus far too many that in reality have NO RIGHT of being in our Country to begin with…the ones who come here…illegally!

Through such policy being advocated by our elected officials, which by the way costs us hundreds of billions of dollars yearly, this too takes money, hard earned money I might add, from the mouths of our own children to support people who never should have been here in the first place!

Before I go further into this, let me state loud and clear that I do support immigration BUT, with a catch…Legal immigration! Is that too much to ask? Hell no, not by a long shot! But our “elected elite” find this appalling.

Where is my compassion for these poor oppressed people they like to ask? Well, in all honesty, it left about 14 trillion dollars worth of National debt run up by these very same “elected elite!” The compassionate!

These very same “elected elite,” who question my own morals and judgment on this issue, through MY LACK of compassion!

They’ve spent us into a mountain of debt that I find totally without ANY morals or judgment, or regard for me, my family, my friends, my neighbors, or our Country as a whole. YET, I’m considered immoral? Please, give me a break here guys.

We’re locked in, at this very moment, a Revolution of class warfare, racial divide, redistribution of our wealth, and our love of…God and Country! Our “elected elite” understand this word “revolution,” quite clearly. It is…their agenda!

Their goal is quite simple. It is literally the destruction of our freedoms and liberties. They, being the powers that be, have sold us out. Yet, they speak freely of…compassion!

The only type of compassion they recognize, or understand, is compassion for…themselves! They could care less about you and yours. It is only about them. This word, compassion, is only thrown around by them in their quest of continued power. Not yours or mine, but their own.

This is entirely nothing but the “elected elite,” buying votes! Through this buying of votes, they are attempting to, and doing a very good job of it I hate to admit, are increasing their stranglehold of power over “We the People!”

Things don’t go their way, no worries, they just enact more laws…laws that benefit THEM and their cohorts, once more not you or I, NOR their own constituents. This is what really gets under my skin.
Through our incomplete teachings of our educational system, they are, and have been dumbing us down. Do we teach the prosperity of a free enterprise system? Nope!

What we do teach, through our liberally minded “educators,” is the moral standards of…social justice. In this regard, I consider our children attending the public school system today receiving a half and education. The half the believers in socialist ideology want them taught.

Capitalism is wrong! Free enterprise is wrong! The choice between working your tail off to better the futures for you and your children is wrong! This is nothing but greed to hear our “elected elite” tell it. A Southern interpretation of this is simply, “the pot calling the kettle black!” Uh-oh, did I just utter a racist taunt??

What is social justice? Well, it is in fact a term coined by our elite, and dedicated to the bringing about of the belief that we should all share together in whatever we feel we should share in. Our First Lady describes it as the oppressed wanting their fair share of the pie too!

Their fair share?

When you contribute absolutely nothing…what is, or possibly could be, your fair share? To me, the answer to this question, as asinine as it is to begin with, is quite simple, NOTHING! Your contributing nothing warrants without question, that you receive in nothing in return!

BUT, our “elected elite,” cry out, “WHAT?? You don’t care about these poor oppressed people? My goodness…where’s your compassion?”

There’s that word again, once more spoken by the very same people that are destroying our way of life, our way of having the opportunity to create jobs, to start a small business, and basically live “The American Dream!”

All being shattered by a political agenda that we, for some reason or other, feel no need to intervene in. “We the People,” are literally funding our own demise!

Now, I don’t know about you guys, but how could we be considered as the “in-compassionate?” It seems to me we have jumped overboard with our degree of compassion, and in all honesty, we’ve become too compassionate for our own good, and far too complacent to boot!

The “elected elite,” realize this and keep shoving more and more governmental regulation and CONTROL down our throats! Are we ever going to get to the point where “We the People” have had enough?

Do we continue to “cower down,” and let our “elected elite” just run roughshod over us? Do we continue to let them take from us and our children to sustain people who have no concept of going to work? Not only no concept, but no desire. Why would they, shoot, we OWE it to them, just look at the teachings of social justice!

We’re headed down an awful tough road to hoe my friends. Our belief in our Country, our belief in God, our belief in individuality, our belief in the American Dream, and our belief that we have unalienable rights are all being trampled upon by a government, a media, and an educational system in our Country gone wrong!

Take a look around, read the papers, watch the tube. Does any of this resemble what our Nation was REALLY intended to be like? Of course not.

Look at socialism around the globe…does it work? Take Europe as just a quick example. They KNOW (the ones with any semblance of brains anyway), that they must cut spending, cut pensions, cut the giveaways, and actually…get back into the REAL WORLD!

BUT, look at the riots, the protests, the looting, etc., all because they’d been indoctrinated that they are…entitled! WHAT, no money?? Well, then take it from the rich!

We are living in an upside down world. Today people have become indoctrinated that wrong is right! Is taking from a productive member of society, then giving it to a non-productive member of society right?

It is if you’re an elected official.

By doling out mere pennies to their bought and paid for constituents, in regards to what a person COULD do in this great Country of ours IF they’d only put their nose to the grindstone, set and achieve goals, and be willing to work from daylight to dark while you build your small business, they too could live the American Dream!

But nope, they have been taught to sell themselves and their own children and grandchildren for just enough government handouts…to exist! That’s all!

So, we see quite clearly that our elected elite have got this all figured out. They want you to exist, that’s all! Through your just existing, barely making ends meet off their pittance of individual handouts, you end up seeing firsthand what social justice in the end will be…social equality for you, along with everyone else, while the elected elites live the lifestyle of kings!

Why would this happen? Two reasons mainly.

The ignorance of their bought and paid for constituents, for even remotely believing the powers that be really give a hoot in hell for them in the first place, and once again, their ignorance in fiscal responsibility for even considering the taxpayer could continue bearing the brunt of such “entitlement programs” and sustain them indefinitely! The well WILL run dry!

Actually the well IS dry, but once more, our elected leaders throw us under the bus by printing more money, spending money by the truckload, and borrow, borrow, borrow! Who can even imagine what our daily interest must be??

But the second reason for such social justice or social equality, becoming rule of law in our Country is “We the People!”

We see what our leaders are doing to us. We see the direction they’re taking our Country. We see the freedoms and liberties we enjoy as Americans growing less and less. We see firsthand the MASSIVE debt they’ve burdened our children and grandchildren with.

We see the destruction of our workplace, our opportunity for good jobs, and our children getting the type of good solid education they deserve, not ideologies pressed upon them through political agendas!

We see the good, law-abiding citizen, the believers in our Constitution, and the very people who love God, family, and Country now labeled, and quite openly as well, as racist, hatemongering, extremist, ignorant, Nazi, redneck troublemakers.

Yet…we sit on our rumps. Take a page from the left playbook…organize, mobilize, and demand YOUR OWN rights. Stop with the political correctness, and just start living correctly. Maybe the time has come to stop with all the compassion, and start showing some contempt while taking our Country back!

Wrong is NOT right, but as long as we let them continue to do wrong, but tell us it’s right, nothing will ever change…it’ll only continue to get worse. Make these people accountable for their actions. They’re the power, BUT true power comes from…”WE the PEOPLE!” Start acting like it!

We hope you guys have a great day! God Bless America, and God Bless you and yours!
