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.”

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!”
