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

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

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

That man had foresight, did he not?

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

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

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

“Stood for?” Did I misspeak?

Unfortunately I didn’t.

We lose freedoms every single day.

The lawless have now become…the law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WE ARE FUNDING OUR OWN DEMISE.

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

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

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

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

Once again…funding our own demise.

Their goal…destruction of the middle class.

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

Social Justice? That’s what they claim.

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

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

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

It won’t be just broke financially.

It means broke mentally, and spiritually as well.

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

Every single day…the same.

Week after week.

Month after month.

Will there be food on the shelves?

Milk for your babies?

Gas for your car?

Heat in your home?

If so…could you possibly afford it?

Not if we continue to elect communists into office.

I’m crazy you say?

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

Read history…World history.

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

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

TWICE!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A few headlines…

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

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

Funding our own demise?

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

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

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

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

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

Funding our own demise?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not on our part!

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

We HAVE to stand up and be heard…

You guys have a great day and God Bless.

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

Doug and Lucky

2014??

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jerry asked, “Bout what?”

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

Jerry bein Jerry, just calmly said,

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

“Mrs. Clower…”

“DON’T WANNA BE LIBERATED!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sadly, the opposite was true.

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

They had us pegged!

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

AN AGENDA!

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

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

Is there still a Republican Party??

Democratic Party???

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

Our mistake?

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

We had…

Checks and balances!

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

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

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

The goodness of our hearts.

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

Northern AND Southern alike!

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

Racist Accusations

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

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

The knockout game comes to mind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On, and on, and on.

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

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

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

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

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

Some Quick Numbers

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

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

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

From the “Heritage Foundation:”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOW…bout that Jerry Clower thing this mornin…

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

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

Ya gotta WANNA be liberated!

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

You guys have a great day, and God Bless!

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

Doug and “Lucky”

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

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

Vote on this week, a bill to…

CUT OUR RETIRED MILITARY PENSIONS???

Do you believe this?

Can you believe this?

Alright…now my rant.

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

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

Ya know…you remember Paul, right?

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

Comin back to you now?

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

EVEN DISABLED VETERANS ARE NOT EXEMPT!

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

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

THE PEOPLE?

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

I quote…

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

REALLY???

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

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

Wouldn’t most agree?

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

Do THEY take a pay cut?

Nope.

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

You betcha they do!

Ever heard the term DOUBLE or TRIPLE DIPPIN?

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

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

ANYTHING!

A few quick examples…

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

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

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

12 to 13 PAID HOLIDAYS a year…

15 to 35 days of vacation time a year…

13 sick days a year…

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

DO THEY WORK?

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

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

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

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

4.2 BILLION DOLLARS to once more…ILLEGALS!

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

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

Yep…29 children.

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

No action.

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

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

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

More Rantin…

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

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

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

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

Educational indoctrination is the new goal today.

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

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

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

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

Not too much shocks me anymore today…

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

Lies, lies, and more lies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEVER!

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

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

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

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

My reasoning is pretty simple…

It’s YOUR pie, not mine.

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

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

I’d sure think so, wouldn’t you?

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

Oh, wait a minute…

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

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

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

Eternity is a very long time.

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

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

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

It is…

AN eternity.

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

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

“LUCIFER.”

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

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

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

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

God Bless you guys!

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

Doug and Lucky

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

Hey…Happy Thanksgiving guys!

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

God Bless!

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

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

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

We call it simply…

LYIN!

Better yet, it’s actually STEALIN too!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Guess ya just…misspoke again, huh?

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

That’s a good un!

Where they at, and what they called?

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

Or something very similar to it.

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

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

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

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

Shoot…

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

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

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

$17 trillion and countin???

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

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

Family and friends.

Our health.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Go figure???

God Bless you guys…we love ya’ll!

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

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

The Architect of Destruction:

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

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

A Very Real Thank You:

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

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

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

At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.

At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.

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

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

At 23, started his own law practice.

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

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

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

At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence .

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

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

At 40, served in Congress for two years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 65, retired to Monticello .

At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.

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

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

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

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

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

AP also states…

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

You guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and God Bless!

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

Doug and Kathrine (aka…“Lucky”)

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

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

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

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

Is this true?

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

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

It’s a show folks…that’s all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gave us the finger.

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

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

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

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

So guess what?

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

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

WHY???

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

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

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

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

A twenty per cent stake in the companies they broke!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We can “know” longer fund it.

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

We knew we couldn’t!

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

WE’VE FUNDED, our own demise!

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

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

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

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

THROUGH THIS, and THIS ONLY… THEY create jobs.

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

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

The American Dream!

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

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

Great job comrades!

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

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

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

So ya see, this very well could…

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

Standin Firm

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

Stand firm in your values and standards.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The destruction of the FAMILY UNIT!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are…ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

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

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

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

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

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

Doug and Lucky

Let me kick this off this morning by making a little statement…GO GATORS! Whipped up on them LSU Tigers, didn’t they? Yeah, man! Florida is on the road back! Kudos to Coach Muschamp, his staff, and the players themselves…great job!

Today I’d like to discuss a statement our President and his circle of insiders like to throw around to the less informed…which by the way is exactly the way they’d like to keep you. I’d like to say the less motivated, but I won’t.

Through the process of “dumbing us down,” which by the way, includes our children within our educational system today, that in many cases are simply teaching “agendas,” they are accomplishing JUST what their true intentions are….a socialist America.

This being the ones in power, ARE the power, STAY in power, and in their totally anti-American mindsets understand by doing so, they’ll ALWAYS be the power! Scary stuff, but true.

Look at affirmative action, political correctness, the government regulations in place today, the “new” definition of hate crimes enacted by our Attorney General, and the right to “Free Speech” enjoyed by our far-left counterparts YET, no longer enjoyed by us…the believers in our Constitution, simply because ANY belief we may have usually falls under the title of…anti-government, anti-American, and racist.

All totally fabricated myths.

We’re even branded as religious radicals, by the left as well. But, it seems to be okay for a religion that tolerates, and by doing so I’d have to say advocate… honor killings. Your wife doesn’t act just as you see fit? Kill her. Your children fall into the same category.

YET, these same people are PROTECTED in many ways through…the hate crime act among others. I wish someone would explain to me how my being against, or disliking the beliefs that these people have, could possibly be considered a hate crime?

It’s pretty obvious to me that these people really don’t seem to care for us either, SO, am I missing something here. Even my describing them as actually HATING us, is not going to any extreme…is it?
I must be though, when an Islamic terrorist, who was a Major in our armed forces, kills over 30 of his fellow soldiers, all the while shouting “Allah Akbar,” and OUR President declares, “Let’s not jump to conclusions,” and this is exactly what I’d done when I heard about it.

I DID jump to the conclusion Hassan was indeed a terrorist…a religious terrorist. Maybe it was just me, but the Allah Akbar thing was kinda a dead giveaway. But, that was just my opinion.

From my standpoint, this very “religion of peace” pretty much advocates them not even LIKING THEMSELVES. They kill their own family members and by doing so, it falls under the banner of…HONOR? C’mon folks, gimmee a break here.

With this literally being the case, how could these same people give one hoot about me, MY family, or any other citizen of our Country, and what we stand for? That in itself is very scary too.

Yet our President sidesteps around this issue daily. Wonder what’s up with that?

We live in a society today created by our elected elite, the media, and all their little community organizing splinter groups where simply, WRONG, is now right. Our Country has literally been turned upside down, wouldn’t you agree?

Returning to today’s topic, our President recently made a statement, on July 13, 2012… “You didn’t build that!”

Take a look at this short, 3 part video STARRING Elizabeth Warren (the Cherokee wannabe), Barack Hussein Obama (LOOK, I USED his middle name!), and Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley (WHERE ELSE?), George Lakoff.

Three people who have used our freedom of speech, our freedoms provided for them through the bloodshed of tens of thousands of American veterans, along with the compassionate goodness of fellow Americans, who in many cases, have footed the bill for their educations and ambitions.

Do they know how to… “work the system?” You bet!

Although no more a “person of color” than me, Warren claims to have an Indian heritage and “rode that horse” to further her career… “working the system.”

President Obama has no idea the work ethic, sacrifice, integrity, or fiscal accountability involved in starting up and running a private business. “Well spend our way out of debt” comes to mind.

If this were at all possible, which it isn’t, if you were to add up what he and our First Lady have spent of your and I money on vacations, meals, entertainment and the like, shoot, we’d have been out of this economic downturn LONG AGO!

Also I wonder…WHO PAID for their educations?

Then we have Professor Lakoff…what’s in it for him? Probably not much, huh? Couldn’t be with all this talk they throw around so freely about SOCIAL EQUALITY, SOCIAL JUSTICE, and all the other “chain jerkin” they do.

An example of this “chain jerkin” you ask, well, listen to them. They promise the poor and oppressed that… “We’re in your corner. We’re fighting for YOU!” Bull malarkey.

Generations since “The Great Society” was introduced to “we the people,” nothing is better for the people who live in the… inner cities.

The inner cities are still…inner cities with skyrocketing birth rates, which we pay for, high school dropout rates off the charts, an educational system in our Country that has teachers going on strike leaving hundreds of thousands of students not attending schools, AND illegals DEMANDING more Spanish speaking teachers, nurses, and Doctors. Comprende??

Joe Brown people, NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER! (Joe Brown being an expression learned from a good friend of Deb and mine’s that she uses when angered or awestruck)

This a headline from CBS Detroit…

Enter At Your Own Risk: Police Union Says ‘War-Like’ Detroit Is Unsafe For Visitors

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…Detroit is a fine example of this “socialist utopia” many today speak so highly of.

The slums are STILL the slums, and in most cases when we relocate these people to “nicer neighborhoods, or apartment buildings, it’s only a matter of time before these too look just like where they were relocated from!

WHY…because they have put absolutely NOTHING into them. Everything for free! Why would anyone respect and have the desire to keep something up if they’ve sacrificed absolutely nothing to have it, PLUS, you screw this up…we’ll relocate you again!

This is insanity, AND many of these “slumlords” operating today are elected officials, who once again profess to “fighting for the poor and oppressed.” Running water, leaking roofs, needing paint, etc., etc., etc!

They’ve become so complacent and “dumbed down” as a whole that they STILL vote the very same people in each election??? Good night a livin, how our society has changed!

Back to Professor Lakoff, sorry for the rambling, but I get SO AGGRAVATED looking in at all the literal, or should I say liberal, stupidity of “these constituents,” AND at we the people for sitting by and letting these “officials” destroy everything our Country stands for…right before our eyes?

BUT, in regards to Professor Lakoff, let’s only look at one other “professor, or college president.” This one is named Eduardo J. Padron. Padron on May 31, 2006, (2006 mind you so what could possibly in these packages in 2012??), terminated his participation in DROP, Deferred Retirement Option Program.

He collected, are you ready for this… $893,286 in lump sum benefits, AND began receiving $14,631 a month in retirement pay. Can you believe those figures?

He then RETURNED to his job as President of Miami-Dade Community College and began receiving his annual pay, once again! It’s not much though…only $328,860!

Oh, but there’s a reason for all this…A spokesman, Juan Mendieta, for Padron said, “the president WAS ASKED TO RETURN when he told board members he was retiring. He went on to say as well, “That the process is perfectly legal AND acceptable.”

Really? Legal and acceptable??? To whom? This is literally STEALING from us my friends. I don’t give a hoot about whoever TRIES to convince me it isn’t!

I just have to believe that if you took Professor Lakoff’s paycheck weekly, and divided it up among “the people,” his own view of this social justice and social equality would be looked at from an entirely different perspective, wouldn’t you

So you see clearly that these three, using all the above in the betterment of their own lives, and by such, being grateful to our Country and we the people for affording them these opportunities, is it appreciated? Not in the least.

They all are grateful for one thing…that these very same freedoms our Country affords us, is the exact freedoms they can use to destroy it!

Really…You DIDN’T Build That

If you listen to the points used by these people, IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL THEM POINTS, is incredible to me.

Your company used the roads to get to and fro? You’re protected from marauding gangs?? SO…you didn’t build that???

I’m a small business owner, and I’m here to tell you, yes I did in fact build that, and it SURE wasn’t with any help “from them!” ALL other business owners know this as well.

Excessive taxation, government regulation, all are detriments to building a business here in the US today and is EXACTLY why so many of our jobs lost are to companies moving overseas.

For them to make a profit…THEY HAVE TO!

Let me stop and play Elizabeth Warren again. I’d already posted up but after watching this video I decided to throw it up as well.

Here is a very good example of a typical liberal response to a question. She talks about literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING…except the question she was asked. DIVERSION is an Alinsky teaching. Cheat, lie, disrupt, anything is okay, just so long as you don’t admit…YOU lied! “The ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS!”

Elizabeth Warren…Cherokee Wannabee!

Believe that?? HOW DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANY SAY IN OUR COUNTRY??

THEN, we have Obama care looming on the horizon. I read yesterday that Darden, a casual dining company, is already gearing up for Obama care through cutting back fulltime employees to part time status…through the number of hours they’ll be allowed to work.

Boy, that sure helps our economy, and in keeping food on those employees tables, huh? What are we thinking people??

Plus, what else is in the Obama care legislation? I know I’m hearing horror stories in this regard. THEN, prior to the bill passing, Pelosi declares, “We need to pass the bill first…to see what’s in it.” Once more, WHY do we as the backbone of our Country tolerate such as this? It all is just incredible to me!

Here’s a lighthearted look at the “You Didn’t Build That” statement. It was sent to me by our friend Bob. Too bad it is exactly what our leaders are suggesting to us or it would really be funny!

You know, our officials today no longer appreciate the facts of what our Country was built on, and the opportunities for people to come here and work hard and grow.

They advocate today the policy of…we the government, need to be MORE involved in your lives, and through this…we’ll take care of you. We’re the power…we know best. You don’t want to work, no sweat, we’ll see you get everything you need…

Let me share a verse or two I read last night…I think it portrays the very ideals that have made our Country great. It talks about excellence, knowledge, self-control, Godliness, and other things as well.
All things today that our elected officials don’t seem to put much faith into in regards to our Country, themselves, nor their constituents.

It begins by stating that God has bestowed upon us HIS divine power, and through this has given us everything we need for living a Godly life, and through this, we can weather anything and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires…

In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with Godliness, and Godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. (2nd Peter 1 5-7)

Pretty powerful stuff, huh? Without trying to “preach” to you guys, I’m only suggesting you possibly start studying God’s word to some extent.

Personally, I have come to find out that God does love me, and by studying his word, although I don’t nearly as much as I should, I AM, understanding more and more, just how great and loving a God he is.

In closing today I’d like to thank you guys for stopping back by. God Bless you and yours, and work hard at…Keeping a smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Talk at ya later…Comrades!

Dub
