I ought to have started here...

One thing I ought to have started this with was a major point that I now make.

I want to make sure I let you all know, I have no problem with authority or authority figures.

My problem is with abuse of authority.
That is what I am seeing and therefore fighting in our society.
what with people trying so Hard to be politically Correct, or touting Diversity as the only way to get things done. Forcing people into comprimising their values, threatening the wellbeing and health of Americans who disagree... well those are things that the Founding fathers went to great lengths to stop.

An example I would like to use; now that they have the Government tied up the democrats are doing everything in their power (Which is considerable right now)to promote their agenda.
This agenda has nothing to do with the well being of America! it serves ONLY the democrats; it includes making sure Democrats have the edge in ALL future elections, it includes paying off the people they like (especially if that gets them future favors), and it includes doing whatever they can to make sure that, if ever someone tries to reinforce the Constitution they will still get there piece of the pie. ( in other words it includes decimating the Constitution and all it stands for.)


Case in point it recently came to my attention that when GM went into bankruptcy the Government took it over (which they even admit too, why is our GOVERNMENT not doing the job of government and is instead micro managing a car company?).
Then the Dems refuse to abide by the laws of bankruptcy in order to make sure that their favored group/s, namely the UAW, got preferred treatment over the stock holders who got hit with enormous loss.
They shoved BILLIONS of dollars into failing companies in order to " keep them from going bankrupt", which they did/are doing anyway, and now that they are going bankrupt they are forcing GM and Chrysler to give up all the lines of vehicles the democrats don't like in favor of more dangerous cars, "oh but they are better for the environment" ( yeah right... A Republican senator from Colorado recently pointed out that they are on the verge of figuring out how to build the Hummer so that it will get "100 miles to the gallon". but that technology has been stopped because the Dems want Hummer to go to China.)

And they are also closing dealers... oh but wait, not just any dealers. apparently as I understand it, it turns out that most of ( if not ALL of) the dealers on the list to be closed contributed significantly to the Republican party (or at least They donated to Obama's opponents). Meanwhile if a dealer gave money to the Obama? nope it is business better than usual for them.

Look here for details...Dealergate

Or HERE

and HERE I have a link to a letter written by one of those dealers who is losing his livelihood. Although I do want to point out one thing in particular to think on.

"On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them. My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009. Without the Dodge franchise we can no longer sell a new Dodge as "new," nor will we be able to do any warranty service work. Additionally, my Dodge parts inventory, (approximately $300,000.) is virtually worthless without the ability to perform warranty service. There is no offer from Chrysler to buy back the vehicles or parts inventory.

Our facility was recently totally renovated at Chrysler's insistence, incurring a multi-million dollar debt in the form of a mortgage at Sun Trust Bank.

And there you have it. THIS ladies and Gentlemen is the "change" that Obama wants to bring to the United States.
The Change of making the Democrats the ruling party in a sort of democratic dictatorship if you will.

Bumper sticker politics.

Original post date, Wednesday, February 4, 2009

I saw a Bumper sticker once, which read "The last time religion and politics mixed, people were burned at the stake."

I actually took offense at this trivialization.

This statement really is problematic in several ways! first of all, the last time "Religion" or a strong belief in morality and the hereafter, became involved in Politics a new country was born.
Namely the United states of America.

The Founding fathers were all devout in their beliefs and the statements that they made, the papers they wrote and the lives they lived strongly support this.

One of the founding fathers even wrote that " For a democracy, such as the one we are attempting, to succeed Faith in God MUST be a part of it."

And according to MY studies of History, the last time people were burned at the stake "politics" didn't enter into consideration, it wasn't about politics it was about Hate and fear.

The funny thing is this Bumper sticker is encouraging the same fear and hate that caused people to be burned at the stake to begin with.

I think we need to think before we say things that are so wrong. Let’s Get it right people.

Headed For Bondage Sir, Ma'am

As I look toward the future I find myself a bit worried. It has been said...

"

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith,
2. From spiritual faith to great courage,
3. From courage to liberty,
4. From liberty to abundance,
5. From abundance to complacency,
6. From complacency to apathy,
7. From apathy to dependence,
8. From dependence back again to bondage.


too long have we lived our lives here expecting the government to take care of us. The problem with letting the government take care of us is,

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

(the two quotes above have been attributed to a Doctor Tyler, or Tytler. However there is apparently debate as to that issue.)

You see we all have lived our lives ignoring what is going on around us. Too many people are trying to take our freedoms away from us. And I worry that we are facing imminent danger of collapse.

The recent vote is a sign, I believe, of such an occurrence. I was very concerned when I saw people who were being polled after the election. many of them indicated that their vote was considered solely on the basis of who would give them more.

for a long time some have been trying to erode the constitution. And we have let them!

We let people reinterpret what the founding fathers wrote to the point where the founding fathers themselves would be hard pressed to recognize their ideals in the laws governing us today.

I believe that what the founders of our country wrote is actually pretty straight forward.

for example...

First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Second Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

Both of these were written into our laws in December of 1791. Unfortunately the first one is either misquoted, abused or both. Note it says Congress (ie: government) will make NO LAW respecting establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;! yet that is exactly what is happening every time they say we cannot pray if we are in government employ (free exercise of religion) or every time they say a pastor cannot preach on a subject because it is "hateful" (this also buts into the freedom of speech part.)

People want us to believe this means "separation of church and state" but I ask you were are those words here? that phrase is found NO WHERE in the first amendment.

As for the second amendment people want me to believe that the guys who wrote this "didn't know that Automatic weapons were going to exist, this must have been established for hunting and no one needs an automatic weapon for hunting." but you know what? I do not see it saying anything about hunting. It states that this amendment is there for us to be secure! To defend ourselves against those who would take from us our freedoms! So if the "enemy" will be armed with automatic weapons doesn't it stand to reason that we too ought to be armed similarly?


I want to end with a few more quotes... note the dates and/or people making these statements!

"One of the ordinary modes by which tyrants accomplish their purpose, without resistance, is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms".
- Joseph Story, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. 1811-1845
"The said constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams

"As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is twilight. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
- Justice William O. Douglas, US Supreme court (1939-75)

No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.
- Thomas Jefferson
