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?

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

You know, my Dad, who has been pretty successful in his own right, used to tell me… “Look down the road, son.”

His meaning was pretty simple and actually very good advice.

His meaning behind that statement is that, you never start out on top. This whether you are employed by someone else, or even workin for yourself.

Success comes from a great work ethic, the desire to better yourself and your family, the ability to cope through not just the good times, but the bad too.

It means you have to start at the bottom somewhere. Then through pure determination to see something through, you eventually start climbin the ladder to achieve…success.

So you see, his statement means to not let what happens today hinder your drive to, “look down the road

You have to stay focused, believe in your own ability, and maybe most importantly…NEVER…take no, or, you can’t do it, as an alternative.

Dad never…came from money, quite the opposite. His father commercial fished for a living. Granddaddy day worked cattle as well, plus any other thing that he could turn an honest dollar at to feed and clothe his family.

This was the way of life of our generations past, and sacrifice to better their own family was all the drive they needed to push themselves to keep going.

I remember my Father never being at home much…he worked all the time. Although many of his friends went to work for large companies, back then, the power or telephone companies, but Dad saw an opportunity for agriculture to be his…way out…and eventually it was.

Did this all fall into place? Anything but.

He worked for Ralston Purina. He started off moving chickens at night, which is about the lowest on the totem pole you can get.

He, through another example of his mentality and belief used to tell me…

“You know Doug, when I started out moving, or pullin chickens as we call it, my whole outlook was to be THE BEST chicken puller out there. Whatever you do son, ALWAYS strive to be the best! It doesn’t matter if you’re digging ditches…and if you are…be THE BEST ditch digger out there!”

“IF you keep that mentality, eventually someone in a position of power WILL see you, AND…you’ll get an opportunity.”

He eventually became a flock supervisor with Purina, but still worked on the service crew at night.

He was literally working…daylight to cain’t.

When he retired from Purina to start his own egg company…he was General Manager of the Southeast.

Here was a man who started out with absolutely nothing except…a tremendous work ethic, the mentality for never accepting the word, no, and the vision to… “Look down the road.”

When he sold out in Oct. of 1995, he had over two million birds laying, had his own feed mill to supply the birds with a good quality feed product, and his own hatchery to keep his layer operations in birds.

To get a grasp for what he achieved, the one complex I ran had twelve houses with 60,000 birds per house. EACH house ate between 12-14 thousand pounds of feed per day.

I still find that incredible.

His poultry operation enabled him get into the citrus business, and eventually the cattle business as well.

I, like my Dad, and thanks to him as well, had these same traits. Though not nearly as successful, although comfortable most times, he had instilled in me, to… “Look down the road, son.”

What we’ve accomplished is literally because of the work ethic and never quit mentality that he bestowed on us.

Now, as I, “Look down the road” today, what I see for my children and grandchildren ain’t very pretty, to say the least.

Does our Country today even present the opportunity for our children and grandchildren to… “Look down the road?

Sadly, I don’t believe it any longer does, and the ability to do this and succeed looks more and more bleak daily.

We have become a Nation of political elite, a Nation of politicians for life, a Nation of political arrogance never before witnessed in our Countyry, and a Nation ofso many new laws passed each year, I believe over 40,000 were passed last year alone, that if our politicians, state, local or federal, really wanted to get us, there just has to be a law on the books for them to do so.

Washing your car? Riding your bike? How bout watchin TV in your home?

I hope there aren’t laws against these things, but any more, there are so many, who knows?
How bout this…

Now he MAY have become belligerent, I don’t know, but 84 years old? Bloodied by police? Several police??

What are we coming to?

Which brings me to one point this morning that rubs me the wrong way…although it is but one…

Illegal Immigration into our Country.

Seems the other day, our Director for Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, made the following remarks…

“The approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”

So, in his opinion, these people HAVE EARNED the right…

Really?

I’d be willing to bet if I decided to enter Mexico, or most other nations for that matter, their government wouldn’t consider me as having earned the right to anything, besides a kick in the behind getting me back across to my side of the border!

PLUS, even if you do cross into Mexico LEGALLY, in order to take up residence there you have to prove your self- sustainability.

Also, jail time is a must.

Quickly, and in jest, I read the other day where 4 tractor trailer loads of Americans were stopped at the border and deported for…tryin to slip into Mexico!

I did a post in The Canada Free Press, quite a ways back, actually on April 26, 2010, so let’s see, that’d made me…27 or so! Lol.

The title of the post was…

“The Definition of…Illegal,” and can be found in the CFP’s columnist archives under, Doug Bronson.

A few quotes from that particular post…

According to the Random House Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of the word “illegal,” is as follows: adj. 1- Forbidden by law. 2- contrary to official rules or regulations.

“Is it just me, or do you feel also, that many of our politicians, the left, and our media really have difficulty understanding this word, illegal? The misunderstanding of the word illegal really seems to become evident when they speak of people coming across our borders without permission. At that point they like to refer to them as “undocumented.” Put simply though, they’re not undocumented, they’re in reality illegal, the exact opposite of legal, which by the way, undocumented isn’t.”

It goes on…

“I wonder if Nancy Pelosi for example, a strong advocate of amnesty for illegal aliens, would consider one of them, or anyone else for that matter, which walked into her home uninvited or without her knowledge, consider this person as an “undocumented visitor?” I’d venture to guess she’d not consider this an undocumented visit, but rather an illegal entry and they’d probably be charged by Mrs. Pelosi with such.

For whatever the reasoning, our federal government has not “taken the bull by the horns” approach to this problem. We’ve seen the pleas by local law-enforcement, especially along the border, asking for federal assistance in handling the problems arising from this. The locals haven’t the manpower, or the capabilities to combat this alone. Why do such requests go unheeded by the feds?

But One Example of the Cost to the Taxpayer of Illegals

This too taken from the same post…

“Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas (these are 2006 numbers), is the second busiest maternity ward in the U.S. Almost 16,000 babies are delivered there each year, about 44 per day.
A patient survey indicated that 70% of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That’s 11,200 anchor babies (American citizens) born every year just in Dallas. The hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million, and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

This has been documented through Snopes.com.”

Again, this is but ONE example, of ONE hospital, in ONE town, in ONE county, in ONE state! Once more these numbers were from…2006!

What in the world must be the numbers today…nationwide??

So, in my opinion, these “illegals,” Jeh Johnson says DESERVE amnesty, is a crock. Not all, but most, I believe probably don’t appreciate our Country, number one, and number two, many, many more wouldn’t if you took away all these dad-gum giveaways!

With this in mind, I’ve come to the conclusion are Department of Homeland Security is misnamed, to put it very, very mildly.

Something more appropriate, and more fitting is, hmmm., let’s see…how bout the Department of Homeland Insecurity!

Our Department of Homeland Security and ALL Illegals Deserving Amnesty

I did one other post in the CFP titled, “Should Arizona Consider Sovereignty in Regards to Illegal Immigration?”

This one from Dec. 18, 2010.

The link I checked out and it still works.

These numbers I’m fixing to give you are from a House Committee report on…HOMELAND SECURITY, in 2006.

It’s title?

Get this guys…

“A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border”

Keep in mind the U.S.-Mexico border runs nearly 2,000 miles.

Those numbers are appalling, aren’t they? To have that extent of those types of crimes committed in our country is unforgivable, but to have them committed in our country by illegal aliens is unconscionable

YET…

They’re DESERVING?

Please?

So, in closing, it is pretty obvious that a vast number of these illegal aliens have absolutely NO business being here, much less anywhere else, but to realize that we have government officials calling for amnesty, not for the betterment of the people mind you, but one more voter bloc to be counted on for THEIR political power, THEIR political greed, and THEIR ambition of eventually tellin us when to crap, how to crap, and how much to crap, is unimaginable to me, that “We the People” have allowed this to take place!

I for one am tired of bein part of the silent majority! I’m not condoning violence by any means, but I am condoning not sittin on our butts anymore and to start making yourselves heard…

LOUD AND CLEAR!

I’m tired of political correctness, when the political correctness shoved down our throats is number one, false and wrong, and number two…not beliefs held…by the majority.

So, I’ll continue to, “Look down the road, son, it’s how I was brought up. Sadly once again though, my lookin down the road sure ain’t very pretty.

God Bless all you guys, and God Bless America.

Please be sure to try to keep that smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Love you all…

Oh…I apologize for bein so short-winded this morning. Seems I jus say what comes to mind and…I’m done! LOL!

Doug and Lucky

You know, first off I’d like to say thank you to all our veterans and our active duty military. Using myself as an example, I don’t thank these young men and women nearly enough so I felt this the appropriate way to start today’s post off.

Basically as a whole, these young men and women exemplify today…integrity, honor and morals.

Because of them, the liberals of today and yesterday have had the freedom to express their views…good or bad.

Seems pretty safe to say that these very same liberals sure wouldn’t be voicing such views openly in say, Cuba, the former Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, and countless other countries.

Why?

Getting their necks stretched comes to mind.

Another example of this very same is in Muslim controlled countries as well, at least the ones controlled by radical Islam.

Yet, here in the good ole USA, our freedoms allow such as this, which in turn have allowed these same liberals to legislate laws such as political correctness, affirmative action, reverse racism, on and on, and on, right down to the phrase, “Merry Christmas” is considered offensive.

Plus, the clamping down on our religious freedom, no matter how much they love denying it.

All of which are literally destroying the greatest Country on this earth.

Cruisin the headlines from around the world this morning, actually the last few mornins, and oh how I’ve grown to hate even lookin at them, one thing I notice is that part of Hollywood is putting on a benefit to raise “EMERGENCY funding,” to help Texas women who have been affected by the State’s new abortion restrictions.

This bein put on by, guess what…another community organizing group…“A Is For”

“The reproductive rights group “A Is For” — a relatively new organization that describes its mission as to serve as “an ally and advocate for organizations working to protect reproductive rights; we are a unifying forum utilizing social media to spotlight issues and encourage activism” — is putting on the event.”

Better yet, is the theme of the night’s event…

“Night of a Thousand Vaginas??”

Is it just me, or does anyone else consider the path our Country is headed down today as, literally becoming evil?

“Night of a Thousand Vaginas??

I swear I can’t seem to wrap my hands around such terminology so openly advocated by todays liberal minded “organizations” and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I personally don’t want this type of accessibility for myself, my wife, not to mention my grandchildren.

You’re telling me that the majority of American citizens advocate such as this?

If so, I’m tellin you straight up…that’s a lie!

Getting off the moral side of the coin as far as the terminology for this event, which I guess the left feels as, “catchy, cute, even possibly brilliant (oh, aren’t we so educated and witty)” but let’s look at the morals of the reasoning behind the event…

Abortion.

You’re talking the murder of children.

Cut it, paint it, spin it, however you’d like, this is murder of a child.

Now believe me, I’m not so ignorant to realize that there are cases of rape that take place unfortunately, or the mother’s life may be compromised attempting to birth the child, and I guess I’m bundling this all up into one example, but I am aware that the vast majority of these pregnancies are taking place through…consensual sex.

So, on account of two grown adults having sex, with the full knowledge of the implications that can arise from such actions…plus ALL the ways any more to have, “safe sex,” with slim to none chance of being impregnated…

The child is killed.

How can that possibly be condoned number one, yet today, it not only is condoned, but by many considered…morally right.

This group, A is for, is concerned with our reproductive rights??

Dern…I never knew our reproductive rights had ever been threatened??

One other example of the left and their vaginal, I mean MARGInal thinking…this at the GOP convention prior to the last election.

Now, I’m supposed to feel that these people, Code Pink and A is for, and the left in general, are clear thinking, law abiding, productive citizens whose goal is, and look here, I’m going to quote a Democrat…

“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what YOU can do for your Country.”

Yet here we sit today with a front row seat in the destruction of our Republic.

One other video that comes to mind, that I’m sure most have seen but is worth taking a look at again is this one…I’m sorry, I thought this was just one video, but evidently seven or so strung together. The one I’m referring to in this post is the first one…candidate Obama standing nonchalantly during the playing of our National Anthem. Look at everyone else…quite a different picture, wouldn’t you agree?

We’re in deep, deep trouble my friends and a lot of it has to do with lost values…

As a people, as a Nation, and under God.

Our elected elite condone such actions taken by the Code Pink’s, the A is for, and all the rest like them.

One other thing I found appalling…I mean interesting, in regards to our government elite, one in particular…you know the man who wrote the book on morals, integrity and honor himself.

Does, “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it,” jog your memory any?

Well, for the “slow trails” out there, I’m speakin of our President.

This from, “The Weekly Standard…”

Robert Laszewski—a prominent consultant to health insurance companies—recently wrote in a remarkably candid blog post that, while Obamacare is almost certain to cause insurance costs to skyrocket even higher than it already has, “insurers won’t be losing a lot of sleep over it.” How can this be? Because insurance companies won’t bear the cost of their own losses—at least not more than about a quarter of them. The other three-quarters will be borne by American taxpayers.

For some reason, President Obama hasn’t talked about this particular feature of his signature legislation. Indeed, it’s bad enough that Obamacare is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to funnel $1,071,000,000,000.00 (that’s $1.071 trillion) over the next decade (2014 to 2023) from American taxpayers through Washington, to health insurance companies. It’s even worse that Obamacare is trying to coerce Americans into buying those same insurers’ product (although there are escape routes). It’s almost unbelievable that it will also subsidize those same insurers’ losses.

I can’t even imagine how we are laughed at and ridiculed by our elected elite for mainly our inaction through which they have literally taken over our Country.

How much time before our inaction will make no difference anyway, simply because as time passes along, the day will come that action or inaction won’t matter anymore because at that point…

We won’t have the ability to act.

The clock is tickin away folks…are we too going to trash OUR integrity, honor and morals?

I believe that I’ll just be hangin on to mine. No matter how the left attempts to spin it, my convictions, my name and my handshake I still consider…important.

To me, anyway.

Anymore people, good or bad, thick or thin, I at least make the attempt to, “Keep a smile on my face, and one in my heart!”

God Bless you and yours!

Doug and “Lucky”

You know, I was reading last night, and it struck me while reading, of the greatness we as Americans have always enjoyed simply because we are (possibly were), the home of the brave, living in the land of the free.

Also, we are (or were), one nation…under God.

Boy, steppin on some toes with that last statement, huh?

Ain’t exactly “politically correct,” is it?

Course anymore, neither is flyin the Stars and Stripes in your front-yard, huh?

Personally, I feel there are far too many toes in this great Country today that need steppin on in this regard, as I see more and more the downward spiral we as Americans are experiencing from lack of morals, virtues, standards, integrity, and…Godliness.

This post this morning isn’t so much about God and religion, as important as both are, as it is about, well, doesn’t your name mean anything to you anymore?

Does the statement, “your word is your bond,” carry any importance at all to you, or is life simply about…what can I get for little or nothing?

Where in the world, or better yet, how in the world, have we as Americans elected…time and again…as our leaders mind you…people as corrupt, people as greedy, people with no regard of their own names or actions meaning anything at all to THEM, much less what others may feel about them, whose main goal is the destruction of the greatest Country on earth?

I guess the most amazing thing to me about this situation we’re in today as Americans, is our inability to band, or bond together to put an end to this madness. Worse yet, is the simple fact that we, as law-abiding, hardworking, taxpayers, are literally…funding our own demise.

Adolph Hitler once said, “How fortunate for governments, that the people they govern…don’t think.”

Or, something to that effect.

Through years and years of continued politically based ideas, theories, enacted laws, community organizing, our educational systems and news media being compromised to the point where they teach and report agendas, and generally, our rights and liberties being stripped from us daily, we find ourselves in the morally corrupt world in which we now live.

Have we as a Nation…turned away from God?

Unquestionably we have, and I don’t know about the rest of you guys out there today, but I firmly believe we are being held accountable for this turning away.

But again, this post is more about morals, convictions, integrity, and literally feeling good about yourself, through the way you live your life, and the type of character you have because of your lifestyle, than being any type of religious beat down.

I mean we all know through our religious views, that we should treat others with respect. We should consider our word our bond. We should help out when and where we can. By living this type of lifestyle, how could you not feel good about yourself most times?

But today, our leaders take our Christian views and misconstrue them…looking back at a previous remark, “help out where we can,” is a good example of this twisting around, or spinning it by our politicians. This ploy or play on words, has literally enabled them to crank up this “great society” as Pres. Johnson called it, which in reality it has become…the great welfare society.

If we as hard working Christian Americans balk at this, our leaders proclaim…”Oh, but you profess to be a Christian! How could YOU not possibly want to help someone out?”

Hmm…

It isn’t that I don’t want to help someone out at all. It’s simply if I choose to help someone out, first off it ought to be of MY own choosing, not our elected elite choosing them for me, PLUS, if I help someone out…I’d like to know that first off, they’re willing to help themselves as well!

BIG, BIG difference in helping someone out who has just hit a bump in the road and needs a little helping hand getting back on their feet, and most important yet, is they…APPRECIATE it!

The flip side to this is our politicians taking our hard-earned money and just handing it out to ANY and EVERY ONE anymore who walks up with their hand out…gimME, gimME, gimME.

From our Country or not! Illegal or not!

Their constituents today DON’T appreciate it, they EXPECT it anymore, as they’ve been indoctrinated by our politicians that…what we’ve worked for is THEIRS too! It literally is their RIGHT for them to TAKE from our table to put on their own!

Work be damned!

Worse yet, is our politicians don’t care one bit about them, as they profess to do! The political scheme today is to govern people who don’t think, and by a little gimME, gimME, gimME, they buy their constituents votes…for life!

In reality, the politicians didn’t help them at all…they ruined them! Destroyed them as literate, functional, contributing parts of society.

Again, I don’t mind helping someone out…BUT, I feel we all should refuse to help out someone who won’t help themselves! I feel we all also should refuse to help out someone who has gotten to the point where they EXPECT us to share our hard earned money with them, because…they’re entitled!

Entitled to what…entitled to sit on their rear-ends and draw a check from you and I?

Really??

Why?

Because they don’t want to work?

Do you realize that we have literally generations of people here in our Country today that have family members who have never worked a day in their lives?

GENERATIONS of family members who have NEVER worked!

We have surely created…a great society, have we not?

Oh, by the way…the ad I was reading last night referring to the USA as being the home of the brave and the land of the free was from National Geographic.

June…1942.

Times have changed, haven’t they?

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

Doug

Heard a story yesterday of a little boy, maybe seven years old, sittin on the street corner tryin to sell a lawnmower.

A man of about 45 came pedaling up on a bike.

The man stopped, looked down at the mower with the handwritten,“4-sale sign,” hangin off it, and asked, “Is this your mower, does it still run, and why ya sellin it?”

The little boy replied yes to the first two, and then said he was sellin the mower to buy a bike.

“Hmmm…” the man thought. “You know, I don’t ride this bike much, and I do NEED a mower…Tell ya what, I’ll swap ya my bike for your mower, and we’ll both have come out ahead here today.”

The little boy agrees immediately, but asks, “Mister, can I take the bike for a test spin?”

The man said, “Yes, of course ya can, and may I start the mower?”

The little boy replied that this would be just fine, hops on the bike and starts circling around the cul-de-sac, happy as a lark!

Meanwhile the man, his face red as a beet, CONTINUES to tug on that mower rope, but the mower hasn’t even attempted to fire off. It’s been a good five minutes or so, and he’s getting a tad aggravated with the dern thing.

He hollers out at the boy, “YOU SURE IT’LL CRANK?”

To which the little boy, who by now is happier than a pig in slob over his stroke of good fortune, hollers back, “Yes sir, she sure will, but ya might have to cuss her just a little.”

“Cuss her a little,” considers the man, then he hollers back out, “Son, I cain’t cuss her a little…I’m a preacher! Shoot, it’s been so long since I have, I don’t even remember… HOW to cuss???”

The little boy shot back, “Just keep tuggin on that rope preacher man…it’ll come back to ya directly!”

Reckon how you’d have reacted?

Myself, I’d just been tuggin on that rope, smiling the whole time, tellin that little feller just how PROUD I was that he was ENJOYIN that bike so well…

Most of my friends, at least the ones who’ve known me for several years, will attest to the fact, that I AM HARD…to get flustered!

NOT!

LOL!

I was reading last night, not really anything on my mind to speak of, and ran across a few things that kinda jumped out at me.

It was talking about a vineyard that had been planned, laid out, and constructed.

This was to be a beautiful vineyard, a vineyard whose vines would never want for anything, and would bear fruit abundantly.

The vineyard grew, and the owner settled in for his harvest of sweet grapes.

The vines though, produced only sour grapes.

Again, the owner had provided any and everything to get this particular vineyard to the point where, down the road, it being a great garden, actually…the “perfect garden!”

Yet, although the vineyard did produce, its fruits were bitter, and not of any type of quality.

The owner was so distraught, so angered by this, that he declared…

“Now let me tell you what I’ll do to my vineyard;

I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.”

This story of the vineyard is actually a song about “The Lord’s Vineyard,” with the vineyard actually representing…the nation of Israel, God’s chosen nation…

It is told in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 5.

Israel had turned away from God, stopped doing God’s work, and because of this, was destroyed.

This was God’s punishment for their sins, allowing Assyria to conquer and destroy them.

Also during the prophet Isaiah’s time, Israel was divided into two nations, Israel and Judah.

Judah had been spared for the time, and Isaiah evidently had come as a prophet for mainly Judah, but his word was for Israel also.

This “song,” was to warn Judah of the consequences it faced, and eventually it received from the Assyrians as well…

When people see no distinction between good and evil…

Destruction soon follows.

This statement is so true in so many different ways, yet look around you today.

Do you recognize the Country you grew up in?

Do we still display an outward appearance as a nation with morals, integrity, compassion, patriotism, and strong Christian values?

How bout people coming freely, openly, and LEGALLY, to experience what the United States of America represents…a nation where ya get outta something, what ya put into it?

You work, sacrifice, save, and through this, in your own way live out a dream. A dream to better yourself, and your family.

“The American Dream.”

The dream that let you lay down a foundation acquired through a hard, honest, work ethic that allows your children the opportunity to start their own careers, possibly a rung up the ladder than your start.

This…to be your legacy.

What legacy do far too many leave their children today?

A legacy of what others work for is in fact…yours too.

An e-mail from a good friend today, explains it much better than I.

It simply states….

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

So, the legacy today we as Americans leave to our children and grandchildren, is a legacy brought about by our government.

A legacy where our Country owes YOU something, not, you owe our Country a debt, simply because of the freedoms it has provided for us…all throughout our history.

Our legacy today is simply…

A legacy of entitlement.

Without getting further off into this particular topic, let me ask you this?

Is our Country today heading down the same path of Israel, and Judah?

Could be.

Parents killing their children. Children killing their parents. Children killing children.

Religious freedom becoming a thing of the past to many.

Leaders of our Country, many whom have never known God.

Dr. Benjamin Carson speaks of “Godless leaders.”

Listen to him…

Christian morals questioned, or even ridiculed.

Looking back on history, does any of this story, the story of Israel and Judah sound familiar?

Could be.

HE will send a signal to distant nations far away and whistle to those at the ends of the earth.

Even the light will be darkened by the clouds.

Could this be possible in regards to our Country, and the path we’re headed down, through reverse racism, political correctness, the destruction of a work ethic, indoctrination of our children through a school system no longer educating…but advocating.

Advocating an agenda where right is wrong, and wrong in fact, is right.

An agenda…of entitlements.

Once more…

When people see no distinction between good and evil, destruction soon happens.

Could this possibly be the end result?

Actually…

It could be…

You guys have a great day, and God bless you, and yours!

Be sure to keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Dub and Deb

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!

Dub

Seems I’m becoming “the old man” at more and more of these gatherins! May have “winter” settin in on my head, but I’ll be derned if I ain’t STILL got some “spring” in my rear-end!” It’s all in your attitude, course that Ensure stuff don’t hurt either! LOL!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and in doin so, I hope you remembered the REAL reason for this…our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I was sittin here this morning, checkin out the headlines. Pretty depressing anymore, wouldn’t you say?

Let’s take a gander at just a few…

A School in Texas Using Tracking Devices to Insure Students Staying On Campus…

Maybe it’s just me, but don’t you all find this very…unusual? How bout just plain offensive? What gives anyone the right to have access to your child’s whereabouts through…surveillance?
Ya reckon this might possibly be…un-Constitutional?

Oh, sorry, I forgot, our Founding Father’s that laid out the moral principles that are the backbone of making our Country so great in the past, and so appealing to all the masses that have immigrated here through the years, are in actuality…old, rich, white men thoughts.

With this being the case…who needs the Constitution, right?

Those dern Progressives, how in the world have we gotten along without them all these years?

Could this maybe be one more indoctrination of our youth that the Progressives see as an opportunity to instill the “idea” into our youth that, you know what…what DOES it hurt that THEY know EVERYTHING about us? Jus sayin…

Listen up guys…UNTIL, we take back our educational system…nothing is going to change.

Until WE decide that our children and grandchildren are going to once more receive an education (imagine that), our liberties and freedoms as we know them will simply continue to disappear!

I’m speaking craziness you say? Well, okay, I’ve been labeled MUCH WORSE than that before. Sadly, many times for some pretty good reasons too! LOL!

I know a lady who’s become a dear friend, by accident, which by the way at times ARE the best kind, who lives on the “Far-left coast.”

Our first contact she expressed she had a lot of the same political views that I have.

My first thought…”poor thing, living in California, and having many of the same conservative views as I?

Now there’s a good example of some poor child that just HAD to have been dropped on her head while still a youth.”

Yet, after speakin with her, and her assuring me that this wasn’t the case, but in reality she HAD BEEN a liberal during her youth, I stopped feelin sorry for her, and just HAD to hear the reason for her political “change of heart.”

It was quite simple…once she went out after college, got a job (oh, the mere thought of work is so, so, “old-fashioned” anymore, huh?), she realized after looking at what “Uncle Sam” was taking out of her hard-earned paycheck… “Good night, that’s A LOT!”

Case closed.

Our youth are easily influenced, people. Don’t you remember growing up? We were too, at least I know I was.

“Miss Warner,” my old high school French teacher, yeah, I took French (not to learn the dern language, but mainly to spend an hour out of the day checkin out Miss Warner! LOL) heavily influenced me.

That woman could have told me to “pass a football,” and I’d have only asked for…time enough to “swaller the dern thing!”

Yep, lookin back now, I was pretty easily influenced!

Seriously though, we have to start teaching our own youth that nothing is owed you. Not a free education, although I feel this perfectly fine if awarded to a youth, ANY youth, black, white, brown, or yellow, who excels in their studies.

Affirmative Action, No Child Left Behind, and all the other “political think-tank programs” that are advocated today by our elected leaders…have simply got to go!

Then, the amazing thing to me, is still the fact that we have people here in our Country, actually MASSES of people today in our Country, who think these same political leaders they vote for, election after election, actually give one hoot in hell about them???

Why not, instead of allowing our school systems to dumb down our children, indoctrinate our children to the Progressive mindset, and create even further, the mentality of…gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, simply start once again…to give our children what they’ve gone to school for in the first place. Like maybe say…an education?

We don’t have to, and SHOULD NOT, lower our educational standards to fit into the “Oh look, we had a 90% graduation rate last year. Isn’t life grand?”

Well, pardon me folks, but I don’t consider our seniors graduating high school with a 5th grade reading level as…being “very grand” at all??

Let’s take a look at another “piece of news” that simply enforces my belief on this matter.

Obama Re-elected by an Illiterate Society…

Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way.

He is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share the same drink of illusion.

That’s a real eye-opener, huh? Not the statement itself, but actually WHO made the statement!

PRAVDA!

It goes on to say…

President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America don’t they? Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents. Obama has bailed out those businesses that voted for him and increased the debt to over 16 trillion with an ever increasing unemployment rate especially among blacks and other minorities. All the while promoting his agenda.

I’ll just add to this that our media plays a major, major part of “our ignorance” today as Americans as well!

Black Friday…

Well, we’ve all seen the reports of this, huh?

People brawling, shoplifting, mass chaos, even deaths??? What kind of society are we living in today??

Nuff said!

Recession in 2013?…

AH…ya reckon??

Good night people, you cannot continue to eliminate jobs in our Country, spend money as if it grows on trees, although when you have the ability to print money, maybe it really does grow on trees, huh?

Over 16 trillion in debt, and growing daily mind you, with the TRUE jobless rate in the US being 16-20%, adding more and more Americans to the “Nanny State” teet.

How could you possibly NOT have thoughts of recession on your mind, especially when your leader states… “We’ll SPEND our way out of debt!”

Good sound economic logic there, wouldn’t you think?
NOT!

Oh, now I get it! Just see above statement on an illiterate society.

I see…you see?

Then, in our last look at some headlines, our good friend, Sandra, sent me a link. Perfectly expresses today’s sentiments of our Progressive society!

Jamie Foxx: ‘Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama’

Don’t believe me…Google it. It’s there….

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/11/26/jamie-foxx-calls-obama-our-lord-and-savior#ixzz2DKou43ep

His actual statement goes like this…

JAMIE FOXX: First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama.

Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/11/26/jamie-foxx-calls-obama-our-lord-and-savior#ixzz2DLE61M2b

Umm…umm, people. Kinda scary stuff, that.

Day of reckoning coming to Mr. Foxx, not unlike any of the rest of us, although I feel much more secure in MY OWN beliefs than putting any faith into Mr. Foxx’s statement!

Sure hope he has a change of attitude prior to his meeting our “True” Lord and Savior!

In closing today why not think about the song verse, “America, America, GOD shed HIS grace on thee!” Pretty appropriate, don’t you agree?

Don’t kid yourself though, our liberal counterparts understand fully how much a “thorn in the side” our religious beliefs and freedoms are in regards to their Progressive agenda, and it’s because of this they attack our religious freedoms so vehemently!

“THE WORD,” speaks quite clearly of false prophets and false prophesies, and in today’s world, we hear of each quite frequently.

Discrediting our Christian values is literally a MUST DO in order for their political agenda to continue. As long as we have religious freedom…we have FAITH!

NO FAITH, equates simply into…NO FREEDOM.

The choice is our own…

As for me, I’ll take Faith and Freedom, hands down…EVERY TIME!

Sandra also sent me this, this morning as well. It too is very appropriate in today’s message…

• You shall have no other gods before ME.

• You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who LOVE Me, and keep My commandments.

You guys have a great day, and God Bless! Also, how bout keeping a smile on your face, and one in your heart! Deb would love it!

Dub

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!

Please, DO NOT have the sentiment that, “Well…I particularly don’t like either candidate…so I’m just not going to vote!”

That IS JUST what our current administration would like for you to do! A non-vote for Romney IS a vote for Obama, and you’ve just got to understand this!

Don’t think for one minute that their constituency is gonna sit at home. They’ll be bussed, drug, and pushed to the polls. There’ll be cigarettes and who knows what else passed out to them.
I also saw the “New Black Panthers” will be at certain polling stations…AGAIN…to “monitor the situation.” Wonder what the “political correctness” advocators would have to say about possibly a “New WHITE Panthers” at the stations…monitoring the situation?

Not that I condone such, by “Black OR White Panthers,” but stop and think on this for a moment or two.

Couldn’t happen could it? So, what does that simple example say about the direction of our Country? It ain’t pretty folks!

I live in the “Old South,” yet, unlike what we here from our mainstream media, AND our “Professional political elite” I see very little to NO racism…at least from the whites.

Yet, our President, his administration, and far too many others, the Hollywood crowd as another example, all calling us, the taxpaying, law-abiding, HARD working, believers in our Constitution citizens of our Country…RACIST!!

This is an out an out “political lie” perpetrated by people that are not only UNCONCERNED over their OWN constituents, Our Country, OR the path they’re taking us down as a Country, but for one common goal…THEIR POWER!

Which by the way folks, is really going to make it hard on not only YOUR own children, but their children AND their children, AND their children, and on, and on, and on!

WE ARE THE STOPPING POINT! WE ARE STILL THE POWER. WE ARE THE ONLY CHANCE OUR COUNTRY HAS TO CONTINUE ON THE PATH THAT HAS MADE OUR COUNTRY SO GREAT…FOR SO MANY!

Again…this is why people immigrated to our Country…the opportunity to SUCCEEED. The opportunity TO GROW. The opportunity to MAKE LIFE BETTER, FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN!

YET, for far too long, “We the People” have sat back on our butts, passively, allowing our elected leaders to fill themselves with arrogance, greed, and lust for more, and more, and more!

It isn’t there fault…IT’S OUR FAULT! Complacency. It’s that simple. I’m just as guilty as the next, but dad-gummit, I’ve had enough already! Are you there yet?

We seeing, right before our eyes, our freedoms, morals, and values diminishing daily! We’re seeing the futures of our children becoming more and more that of the children of the “have-nots.”

This being simply…existence, and that is just WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT WANTS FOR THEM…merely, once more…existence!!

Take a look at the majority of these so called, “have-nots.” Why are they classified as…“have-nots?”

How bout simply because they’ve become indoctrinated in a believe that is SO absurd, SO far-fetched, and SO un-Christian like, that has been instilled in them for generations by our politicians.
It is simply called… “WORK-NOTS!”

You want a job, and an opportunity to better yourself and your children?

“WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?? H… NO I don’t want no job…I’ll lose “MY…BENEFITS!!”

Well, I’m REALLY tired of letting our government officials decide what I’ll do with MY MONEY! I work, sweat, worry, and pay FAR too much out for what in reality…I bring in. This lessens each year, as well.
Thank you Uncle Sam…for nuthin in this regard, buddy!

I surely don’t mind helping somebody out…not in the least! BUT, in my way of thinking…I ain’t helping NOBODY out who first doesn’t…want to HELP THEMSELVES!

This belief is even in regards to my own children!

Let me give an example of this.

Many of you know that back in my early twenties I became hooked on cocaine. This today is a very embarrassing topic at times, but something that is very important in regards to, “helping out.”

Does anyone think for one minute that I’d have gotten off cocaine, IF, every time I turned around someone was giving me money and making the statement… “Here, here’s some money. I know you’re addicted to drugs, I feel sorry for you, so take this money…and go get something to eat, okay?”

What would I have done? Simple…

I’d have gone and gotten…MORE COCAINE! No doubt!

PLUS, I’d not have appreciated for one minute the “good Samaritan” giving me this money.

I literally would have thought… “What a chump! This is SO easy staying in cocaine! Shoot, every time I turn around, ANOTHER CHUMP, gives me some more! This addiction thing is as easy as sliding down a slide at the park!”

What was I shown instead of handouts? TOUGH LOVE!

The very same is going on with these “have-nots.” They have literally become ADDICTED to this give-away mentality! Seriously, they have!

They don’t need to keep being “handed out” to. THEY NEED SOME TOUGH LOVE!!

This is literally destroying an entire class of people, and through their not thinking things out straight, and sadly, many of them not having the intelligence OR the ability to think things out straight, they’re literally dooming themselves to a life that will NEVER change. Each and every day will be the very same.

YET, THIS IS THE VERY REASON our elected leaders implemented these very programs of… “Entitlements!” PLUS, the very reason they implemented these programs on the class of people they chose from the get go…the very ones THEY KNEW couldn’t or wouldn’t think for themselves!

This was simply premeditated destruction of the very people they so openly profess to… “helping out!”

They NEVER HAVE, nor EVER WILL, be concerned with these people that they so proudly proclaim their concern for. Or as they state, “We champion for!”

They simply USED THEM in their own quest for power! For lack of a better terminology folks…these people are EVIL in every sense of the word!

YET, “WE the PEOPLE” allow them to run roughshod over us as well anymore! All the while each of us knowing the outcome of their agenda if they’re allowed to carry it out!

On top of this, you see example after example, coming from THEIR OWN MOUTHS (the have-nots), that they don’t appreciate any of this (our generosity)…AT ALL!

They too, just like our politicians have become arrogant, and now EXPECT this “Free Everything” to continue on and on, and on!

They also have bought into this “reverse racism” bull…., AND have jumped on the bandwagon that we, simply because of our own skin color, have kept them where they’re at in their lives. This through our thievery of something that SHOULD be part theirs, regardless of whether they contribute “to the kitty” or not!

Again, this all instilled into them by our “elected elite!”

So, to them…We’re Chumps! Really, that’s what we are!

Once more, I don’t mind helping someone out, BUT…I ain’t gonna be regarded as “a chump” while doing it. I’ll simply stop helping…helping those types out anyway! Don’t you guys agree with this?
I mean really, there IS NO WAY you can help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves first! This is a no-brainer!

Enough of that though…

Today is the most important election that I’ve ever been involved in…bar none!

Please go vote.

I could go on and on over all the reasons once more, like “We have to pass the bill to know what’s in it,” or, “In 5 days we’ll fundamentally CHANGE America,” or “Let’s not jump to conclusions over Maj. Nidal Hasan,” or “ Why don’t I wear a flag pin, or give my Flag the proper respect during the National Anthem, ummm, let me count the ways,” or “Sure I’m an American citizen,” or “I am a Christian,” or “Let’s TAKE OVER a private run Corporation, place it under government control, AND GIVE THE UNION 20% of it,” or “Green Energy IS the ticket, but…we’ll waste billions and billions of taxpayer dollars in now defunct green business, but I’m guessing by the time we spend several MORE TRILLION dollars, MAYBE we’ll get it right” or “We’ll SPEND OUR WAY OUTTA DEBT,” or, and THE most important…”It’s Bush’s fault!”

But I won’t go there today…we’ve heard it all before, right?

Okay then…let’s get out and vote…and MAKE SOME CHANGE!

Understand though my friends. IF we get this guy outta office, it is only a FIRST STEP!
We have got to start making our politicians…whatever the Party affiliation…ACCOUNTABLE! Accountable for EVERY cent!

After all, it’s our money, it’s our Country, and it’s OUR WAY OF LIFE!

Let me close this out with a video showing JUST SOME of what’s in store for us down the road…it is about Obama Care. It is very disturbing, but filled with references as to where to find each fact in the legislation.

It is also showing only SOME of what is in this legislation. This too is an example of “We the People” needing to be much more hands on by holding our politicians “feet to the fire.” It is time for our passiveness as a people to cease!

One other thought in closing. This comes from our good friend Gary…

He said to me this morning that the Bible states that God has a hand in electing, or choosing may be the better word, of who our Kings, Queens, Presidents, etc., will be.

In saying this he also stated something I found very disturbing.

This was that, if, we re-elect this same man as President, then does this simply state that God is punishing us in some ways, and that through our own doings, such as turning our backs on God, and taking God out of SO many things in our Country…we’re in for some very troubling times?

Personally, I feel this could very well be.

We don’t have to look far to see many examples of our elected elite taking many religious values and freedoms from us…there’s that “political correctness thing” again! I’m bout to the point of shoving this political correctness thing up their ying-yang!

Manger scenes being declared not acceptable during Christmas season because they offend certain people. Prayer taken out of schools. Merely saying “Merry Christmas” to someone, and the list goes on and on!

Our religious freedoms ARE being taken from us…little by little.

This I got from our very good friend John, this morning…and is a very appropriate addition to our post this morning!

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he
is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at
least that he ought not so to do;
but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society
for which he is accountable to God and his country.”

–Samuel Adams (1781)

You guys have a great day! God Bless America, and God Bless you and yours! Also, as my Deb liked to say, please, “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”
