Who are the Racists?

.

Author Unknown.

Does anyone remember Detective Melvin Santiago?  He was a Jersey City police officer, who was shot to death just a month ago, on July 13th.   Santiago was white.  His killer, Lawrence Campbell, was black.

Does anyone recall Obama appearing before national television and calling for justice for Officer Santiagos' family?  Does anyone recall Eric Holder rushing to Jersey City to see that justice was done?

How about Officer Jeffrey Westerfield.  He was a Gary, Indiana, police officer who was shot to death last month on July 6th.  Westerfield was white.  His killer, Carl LeEllis Blount, Jr. was black.  Where was Obama?  Where was Holder?

Or Officer Perry Renn?  He was an Indianapolis, Indiana, police officer who was shot to death just last month on July 5th, the day before Officer Westerfield was killed.  Officer Renn was white.  His killer, Major Davis, was black.  I don't recall any mention by Obama about the untimely death of Officer Renn.  I doubt that Eric Holder rushed to Indianapolis to make sure justice was done.  Or, maybe I just missed it.

Vermillion Parish Deputy Sheriff, Allen Bares, was gunned down by two men just last June 23rd in Louisiana.  Deputy Bares was white.  His two killers, Quintlan Richard and Baylon Taylor, were black.  Was Obama outraged?  Did Eric Holder rush to Louisiana to make sure that the family of Deputy Bares found justice?

 

Detective Charles Dinwiddie, of the Killeen Police Department, was murdered by Marvin Lewis Guy, a black male.  Officer Dinwiddie was white.  This happened on May 11th, just over two months ago.  I don't even recall seeing anything about that on the news.  Certainly, the white citizens in Killeen didn't take to the streets to loot and burn businesses.  Again, I don't recall any mention by Obama or Holder.

Then, there is Officer Kevin Jordan of the Griffin, Georgia Police Department.  He was gunned down just two months ago on May 31st.  Officer Jordan was black.  His killer, Michael Bowman, was white.  This was a white man murdering a black police officer.  Where was Jesse Jackson?  Where was "The Reverend"  Al Sharpton?  Was there looting and burning on the streets of Griffin, Georgia?  No.  In fact, I don't recall hearing about this one in the news, as well.  Why?  You can draw your own conclusions.

Over the past 60 days, there have been five reported deaths of police officers by gunshot in the US.  Of those, four were white officers who were murdered by black men.  Blacks complain that white officers treat black men more aggressively on the street.   You can draw your own conclusions on that one, as well.  Is there an election coming soon?  Is there an agenda here?

A Travesty

.

The following contains portions of an article was published in Los Angeles Police Protective League's blog on August 19, 2014. The author is unknown to me. 

Over the last 72 hours, there have been a number of attempted murders of police officers in Los Angeles County, yet there has been no community or media outrage.

Two prime examples include an LAPD SWAT officer who was severely injured during a shootout with a suspected gunman following a pursuit in South Los Angeles. In another case, a sheriff’s deputy is facing a long recovery after undergoing surgery for life-changing injuries he suffered in an unprovoked attempted murder by an “unarmed” man already on probation for assaulting a peace officer. Witnesses said the deputy was escorting a male suspect in a mall when the suspect unexpectedly turned on the deputy and hit him several times, knocking the deputy to the ground, and continuing his assault.

We should all be should be alarmed when those whose job it is to fight crime on a daily basis are being targeted for murder. Why are there so many others become reflexively critical of police? Why do these individuals jump to the twisted conclusion that police officers’ lives are any less endangered when encountering “unarmed” suspects than when they’re staring down the barrel of a gun? Why do these same individuals assume all officer-involved shootings—while always tragic—are always “bad” shootings? These individuals are cherry-picking the facts and doing a disservice to the communities they serve.

Recently the LA Times editorial about the Ezell Ford shooting stated, “It is hard to believe that police cannot refine their encounters with unarmed citizens to avoid the use of deadly force.” In other words, according to the Times, “unarmed” residents pose no threat to officers.

The reality is that when somebody attacks a police officer, they should expect the reaction to their attack will be swift, sure and met with enough force to end the assault. LAPPL President Tyler Izen respnded by stating,  “While waiting for the facts to be determined, I feel the need to restate the obvious. When a person attempts to take an officer’s gun from them, no matter their physical or mental condition, we should expect an officer to respond accordingly to save their life—and that likely includes the use of deadly force.”

We also note with dismay that while compelled to devote numerous pages of coverage to the unfolding situation in Ferguson, Missouri, the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board cannot be stirred to write even a murmur of protest over the violence directed against police officers there. Apparently, throwing Molotov cocktail bottles, rocks, and other debris at police officers is just not worthy of their commentary. Yet, you can be sure that if a police officer were the perpetrator of equivalent violence, entire forests would be decimated to print the hand-wringing editorials from the Los Angeles Times.

If a suspect takes or attempts to take an officer’s gun by force, he has sent a clear message that he intends to murder that officer and possibly others, and must be stopped for the safety of all. Whether that aggressive suspect is under the influence of a controlled substance, alcohol, or has a mental illness, the target of his attack will be in immediate danger nonetheless. When anyone grabs for the officer’s gun, they become an armed suspect, and in most cases, predetermined the tragic outcome of events.

I must ask why there is such little outcry from the public when an officer is murdered?  And why is there little mention of police shootings of young unarmed White men.  Had the races been reversed in Missouri, there would have been no outcry.  You know, there were just over a hundred Blacks shot by police, yet there were over 5000 Blacks shot by Blacks last year alone?  Where is the respect for Blacks for one another?

I'm sure this will become yet another travesty of justice like Rodney King and Travon Martin.

"Nuff said.

Grading (perhaps de-grading) our Leader

.
I know that I previously said I would provide you with information useful in deciding how to cast your vote intelligently in our upcoming elections.  But since most primaries are over and the real elections are still distant,I thought I'd review a few things that our President has done in the past.  Some you will remember, perhaps not so with others that have seemed to fade from memories with the passing of time.

Most, I'm sure remember, "If you like your doctor  . . . .," but do you remember him denying that he knew William (Bill) Ayers (the convicted terrorist), who hosted a campaign fundraiser where the President attended?  Two lies, long ago, but I remember.  

Remember the "Cash for Clunkers" program that enabled to auto dealers to sell their wares at inflated prices knowing that the buyers would agree because they were to receive the federal handout?  I'm sure many of you smart ones made the wise decision welcome that handout.  I wouldn't blame you, but who had their good job they once had?  What about the bail out of GM, and the subsequent losses to investors after the company received amnesty for their debt obligations, then re-selling their stock at grossly inflated prices?

Remember his Executive Order providing free health care to illegals, which has since been deemed an overreach of his powers by the Supreme Court?  What about him publicly calling that Cambridge cop a racist while defending his black professor friend's involvement?  Or his statements condemning the white Neighborhood Watch guy when he killed the black gangster who was assaulting him.  

This morning, my Pastor used scripture to support that how a reasonable leader must surround himself with reasonable thinking people to help him make reasonable decisions.  Nothing could be worse than the cabinet members that our President has appointed.  Like Eric Holder, who has been in the limelight of nearly every action he has taken, beginning with his refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers involved in voter intimidation. Or Janet Napolitano's DHS appointment.  The only thing she accomplished was redesign the security threat sign during her reign.  DHS is still incompetent.  How about Hillary Clinton, who spearheaded the Benghazi cover up?  Lois Lerner, and Holder again in another cover up with the IRS and Fast and Furious incidents. NSA, and the list could go on and on..

His failed policies.  The agreement to remove our missile defense system from Turkey, his concessions to Iran in their nuclear development program, his refusal to intervene in the Syria or Libya collapses, his announced recall of our forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, and his reduction and lack of support for our military, have all been disasters. Health care, border security, amnesty. spreading the wealth, school lunch mandates, and his racists remarks continue to defy imagination.  

Surely I could name more.  Quite frankly I can not recall a decision that the President which I can support. Obama is a Buffoon, but incredibly to me, fewer and fewer of you refuse to take an open stance against his failures.  

But know this....... When nobody stands, I'll stand alone.

Pardon the Interruption

.
So what happened?  Where have you been?  Have you given up, or been sick?  Been away?  Can I help?  How can I be more like you?

These were all comments that were made to me during the past two months.  Phone calls, e-mails, blog comments and face to face confrontations.  Some glad.  Some mad.  And some just plain ignorant.

The fact is that I just took time off to rest and relax from the constant barrage of frustrations regarding our government that I feel.  So, after pondering quite a while, I am changing my approach to this blog.  No, I'm not throwing in the towel as some of you have suggested.  And I'm not swinging far left as some of you would prefer.  Quite the contrary.

I'll let you decide.  I'll just present the facts.  And my focus will highlight inappropriate behaviors made by our elected officials, regardless of their political affiliation.  Senior officials that are in bedded in their position who no longer work hard or respond to the views of of their constituents.  Officials who have been convicted of crimes, or immoral acts regardless of the legality.  Things like drug or alcohol abuse, lies, fraud, racism, adultery, improper spending of public funds, and corruption.

Through the power of the Thought Dock portal, I will provide the factual information you need to decide whether to vote for, or retain that public official in their next election.  You just ask, and I'll do the investigation to present you with the facts.  It's as simple as that!       

Now rest assured, it will not be difficult to disclose the appropriate information for you to make your decision.  However, due to the sheet number of politicians that I receive request from, I would only ask that you limit the requests to Federal officials, or others at the State level that have committed acts so flagrant that they have come to the level of national attention.

Now how fun, or sad will that be?  Contact me however you see fit, to learn about your candidate before you vote.  No holds barred.  Together we can restore America's greatness.

The Bar

.
There sure are many types of Bars. I know because at one time or another I've visited or used many of them. Sand Bars, Crow Bars, Gay Bars, Beer Bars, Gray Bars, Steel Bars, MilLibars, and so on.

But my subject in this post involves the Grading Bar. I know you know what it is, but might not recognize it by name. It is a threshold used throughout education, industry, government, and sporting communities. You will easily recall more as you read though this.

But it is the Grading Bar that I am about to blast here, for it is the single most eason for the failures in our government that we hear about nearly everyday. Like the failure of the Veteran's Administration, NSA, FBI, IRS, and nearly everywhere we look.

You see, Grading Bars are in place all over. Employers use it to set a minimum education requirement for hiring. Police departments use it to set minimum physical strength or indurance limits. Football players are expected to run so fast, and Olympians have minimum heights to jump before they are allowed to compete in pole vaulting. Get my drift yet?

But what happens when qualified candidates can not be found?

Until recently, the Bar would be raised as the competition improves. But now, more and more often, especially in our government, we have seen the Bar lowered to allow more competition among the less qualified. For example, as females applied for police officer positions, the bar was lowered to allow them to climb a shorter wall than males. Use of marijuana was once always a felony, but the Bar has been lowered so low that it is now legal in some states, Marriage, which was always considered to be reserved for a man and a woman, have been lowered to an anything and anything. And the continued use of these practices has led to a decline in the industry for which they were hired.

The Democratic way has lead the way in lowering the Bar everywhere we look. You see the liberal left wants everyone to eat the same, earn the same, and march the same, but only to the tune of the Democratic band. The liberal left and the unions they support allow the hiring and retention of just about anyone. Obama himself just lowers the bar and routinely retains and supports his own substandard cabinet appointments.

Did you know that a doctor employed by the Veteran's Administration earns only about a third the salary of a similar doctor in a private office? So why then would you expect him to work his butt off to see as many veterans as he could during his shift when he could just sit on his bar and do the minimum? You've seen it: 6 street repair workers gather aroung a hole and watch another do the digging. The failure of the USPS can be directly linked the the bar for employment being lowered so far, that many of them can barely read or write. Over 600 New York City school teachers meet every day at a union hall because they are deemed unfit to teach, yet they can not be fired. Our elected officials lie, cheat and somtimes are convicted of crimes, but somehow they retain thier positions. McDonald's workers demanding that they be paid the equivelent of a college graduate?

I have no problem with hiring a Gay football player if he is the best. But to hire a 7th round draft pick that most likely will not make the team, simply because he is Gay is nuts! I could go on and on.

The system has failed and you should know why. It's the liberal left, their corrupt unions, and the ignorance of most of us because we are unwilling to do what is right.

Conundrums

 

Common sense. 

 

The definition of the word "Conundrum" is: "Something that is puzzling or confusing."

Here are six Conundrums:

 

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the  population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

 

Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

Makes you wonder who is doing the math.

 

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

 

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few  lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.  Funny how that works.  And here's another one worth considering...

2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't. Think about it.....and Last but not least,

3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

 

Am I the only one missing something?

Lipstick

.
It's been said that even the best lipstick can't make a pig pretty.  And so true it is.

President Obama's neatly dressed attire, and his casual humor with a sly smile can't mask the evil that he has within.  No matter how many lies he tells, if you wipe away his lipstick, his true intent is revealed.

Unless, of course your wearing the same lipstick.  As in Nancy Pelosi.  Even a full thick coat of the lipstick wouldn't cover her ignorance, as she bobs her head up and down each time Obama enters the room.

And right behind her are the likes of Harry Reid, Jim Carney, Lois Lerner, and leading that pack of liars, Eric Holder.  All covered in lipstick.

The lying, adulterer Billy Clinton, and his lovely lying bag Hilary, can't fully be covered by the gooeyness of the lipstick they wear.  Clowns, they are.

And the masquerade continues.

Normal

.

                                                             
Since a good many of my Followers are educators, I'm sure you recognize the chart at the right.  For those that have never paid attention in life, I'll explain it a bit.

It first came to my attention in the 1990's when some smarty came up with this graph as a model to measure one's intelligence and wrote a book about it. The graph reflects his findings and shows the intelligence level of humans.  Basically, it shows that 68% of us fall into what he determined was normal.  All others are either ignorant or smart.  I must add that the graph caused a lot of controversy in its day..  But I like it, although I use it a bit differently than it's creator.  To me it means nothing more than what is normal, and what is not.  And you can use this graph for most anything.

I have always loved to be in the normal area.  Hidden in what I call the "Middle 50 " (with the exception of taking pride in my almost perfect honesty).  I liked being the one that rarely stood out in a crowd.  Not the fastest runner in the group, but at least I ran faster than the 50% that finished behind me.  Just "Normal" so to say.

I grew up in an era where everyone knew their father, whom just happened to live in the same house I guess. Fathers worked 50 to sixty hours a week.  We had one television and one telephone in the house which we all shared, but never during dinner time.  We gathered at the dinner table at the same time every day and began with a prayer.  Most people didn't work on Sundays or after 6 pm.  We each had two pairs of shoes; one for church and the other for school or play.  We had a bicycle, although it was usually a hand-me-down.  And at times, we had two cars.  Our six siblings shared 2 bedrooms; one for the boys and the other for the girls (and of course the biggest room one was for our parents).

Whether it was raking leaves, shoveling snow, or washing dishes, everyone I knew had jobs after school and during the summer.  Boys got dirty climbing trees and building forts while girls were prissy and played with dolls.  There were sissies and tomboys but they didn't marry one another. Everyone I knew moved away from home the summer following graduation, either to join the Army or marry their girl, even though she was often already pregnant.  For me this is what being in the Middle Fifty was - Normal that is.

Not so anymore.  The normal graph has changed.  That 68% that was once normal has now dwindled to about 25%.  The Bell Curve now is much steeper as spikes to the center leaving those trapped inside to now become "Abnormal."  That's where I think I fit in.  What was once referred to as "Alternate Living" has dominated our culture and has become the ":Normal."          

Today it seems few want to work even 40 hours per week.  Children remain at home into their 30's and seem to only leave if they are arrested for narcotics, then join the Service if it is offered as a way to get out of jail.  So many men father children to someone they never asked their name, leaving the State to pay for and often raise the child.  Islam is rapidly over taking the religions that America was founded upon, but many Americans now have no religion at all.  

Kids don't have after school jobs anymore.  They get trophies simply by participating in a team sport. Sissies are now called Gays and marry one another.  Tomboys are marrying each other and are now called Lesbians. Families now most often have one car per family member, but sometimes more. Bicycles and clothing are most often always new and families have never held more debt than now.    

No one leaves home after high school unless they obtain a student loan which they will never pay back while they study some worthless and simple subject which can neither be graded effectively nor used for useful employment.     

Full time employment will soon give way from 40 to 30 hours a week, and most will never actually work at all.  Owning your home will give way to living on the streets or squatting where ever one can.  Taxes will be paid only by those that strive to work, and a child waiting for his father to come home for dinner doesn't exist.

Today, I live in the Alternative Lifestyle because what once was normal is no longer.

Please pray.

The difference is REAL

.
"What difference does it make now?"  The question echos through my head almost non stop even though it seems like ages have passed since Ms. Clinton blurted it out before Congress in an apparent heat of rage meant to defend herself from the deliberate lies she made to cover up her role in the Benghazi murders.

The costume doesn't make the clown.  What business did Hilary even have being appointed to a Secretary of State position?  Well, I suppose she was well versed in stress when the world found out about her arrogant husband having sex with most anyone?  Perhaps he was the one that taught her to lie so well.

But look who appointed her.  The suit doesn't make the man.  The always well dressed President can fool most of us.  Appearing smart and caring inside his suit masks his true person of a lying, arrogant, and controlling manner.  Adolf was that way as well before he murdered so many of his own countrymen, if my memory serves me well.

And now his stylish suits allow him to write his own laws as he sees fit, and most of us ignore that.  Exactly what Hitler did, and Satin himself does on a daily basis without much interference until it is too late.

And it might be already too late for America as Obama makes peace deals with his Muslim friends who hate America.  Shaking their hands during his world travels and apologizing for American colonization five years ago didn't seem to rouse enough of us about what was to come.

The Difference the Obama administration has made is REAL, and I doubt whether American will ever overcome the harm that has been done.          

Just Marvelous

.
Marvel Comics just released that it remake the 1970's era female superhero, Ms. Marvel.  It was a disaster then, but it is a sure bet this time around.

I'm sure you've at least heard of Marvel Comics, if not a huge fan in your yester years.  Superman, Spiderman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and the list goes on.  Ring some bells, huh?

My bell was rung when I heard the news.

The latest release is another female American super hero.  This Ms. Marvel has super powers to change her body mass to fit any time of challenge.  But this time she is not clad in the traditional red/white/blue outfit symbolizing American greatness.  Today, Ms. Marvel's face is covered by a dark burka above an ankle length cloak type dress.  She's a dark skinned, teenager, proud of her valiant Muslim religion, who has immigrated to America from Pakistan just in time to save our day.  .

True Jihad from within.

An American President?

.
My oh my, has America changed during my lifetime.  I'm sure all of you can say the same.  You've seen it, but perhaps not in the way that I have.  America surely is a better place than what it was when I came to be, and I want it to be even better I cease to be.  But, somehow I don't believe that it will.

America, from what I've come to know, was built on Christianity, family values, hard work, perseverance, and ethics. And for me, it seems we have devalued those things.  We've come to accept lying, corruption, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, adultery, gays and lesbians, and most every value of life that I know.

Perhaps I was sheltered in some way, but while I was growing up, I never knew anyone that did not have both a mother and a father at home.  No interracial marriages.  I never knew anyone that served in prison, or used narcotics, or had sex with another of the same, or physically hurt anyone beyond throwing a snowball or having a fight after school fight.  Everyone I knew had jobs, graduated from high school and went off to work, college, or the military. I never heard of an Illegal Alien, or a Muslim and the word "terrorist" was outside my vocabulary when I was growing up.  My oh my.

I have to wonder what kind of American could Obama be.  We seem so far apart.  Worlds apart in so many ways.  One who did not have a stable adolescence.  Likely born outside America, in a region so different from America, where Islam reigns. And the child of an interracial marriage.  A marriage torn by divorce and the pairing of his father with four other women, building a family that Obama, aside from his mother, never knew.  And then in his latter years, coming to America where he aligned himself with anarchists, radical preachers, the suburbs of Chicago and convicted terrorists.  My oh my.

I have to wonder, with a background so different from any other American president during my lifetime, how Obama could love America as I do.  Why would I expect him to have the same values as I have after having such a different uobringing that I?  How could he be supportive of our military when he has never served?  How could he understand American capitalism when he has never worked?  How can he love America when his own wife has denounced it?  How can he take a strong stance against America's enemies when he was raised in those regions and most of his family are still there?  Why would I expect Obama to have ethics when has was raised where ethics do not exist?  Why would I expect the Truth from him?  Why would I expect him not to be a racist?

Well, I do expect him to have integrity to the American people.  Is that too much?  Or should I just join the rest of you and accept what he is?  My oh my.

More Lies - More Applause

.

I couldn't believe last night's State of the Union address.  Obama continues with his path of constant lies and deception and so many of you applause. The following are exerts from an article published by (shockingly I must say) by MSNBC.  Obama continue to lie or distort the facts with every breath

OBAMA LIE #1: Obama lied when he stated that his Plan lowered costs for seniors with high prescription drug bills. The Truth is that his Plan has caused Medicare's monthly premium for outpatient care to rise. And that was really exaggerated for upper-income beneficiaries.

OBAMA LIE #2.: Obama lied when he said "Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled."  The Truth is the most recent evidence suggests that mobility hasn't worsened. A Harvard study released last week found the United States isn't any less socially mobile than it was in the 1970's.   And a child born into poverty who makes it to the top 20 percent in income hasn't changed either.

OBAMA LIE #2: Obama lied again with this statement, "More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage."  That's not to say 9 million more Americans have gained insurance under the law.  The Truth is that the administration says about 6 million people have been determined to be eligible for Medicaid since Oct. 1 and an additional 3 million roughly have signed up for private health insurance through the new markets created by the health care law. That's where Obama's number of 9 million comes from. But it's unclear how many in the Medicaid group were already eligible for the program or renewing existing coverage.  Likewise, it's not known how many of those who signed up for private coverage were previously insured. A large survey released last week suggests the numbers of uninsured gaining coverage may be smaller. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that the uninsured rate for U.S. adults dropped by 1.2 percentage points in January, to 16.1 percent. That would translate to roughly 2 million to 3 million newly insured people since the law's coverage expansion started Jan. 1.

OBAMA DISTORTION: "In the coming weeks, I will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour, because if you cook our troops' meals or wash their dishes, you shouldn't have to live in poverty."  The Truth is that would be a hefty boost in the federal minimum wage, now $7.25, but not many would see it.  Most employees of federal contractors already earn more than $10.10. Only about 10 percent of those workers might be covered by the higher minimum wage. And the increase would not take effect until 2015 and it doesn't apply to existing federal contracts.

And that list of lies and deceptions will go on and on as it does every time the man speaks, and so many of the Ignorants applause!

Glacier Gateway

.
We are here: Kalispell, Montana; The Gateway to Glacier National Park.  Just a few miles south of the Canadian border and 800 northeast of the Central Oregon Coast.  No Wheeled Manor this trip as we will not be here long enough, and it's not quite far enough to justify the expense.  Sure miss it though.

Soaring eagles above.  A brisk coolness in the air.  Snow flurries and freezing temperatures overnight. Flathead Lake, the largest west of the Mississippi seems infinitely endless.  Simple, friendly people who wave as you pass.

Time passes slower here.  Time to eat, relax, rest, and play.  It's a different way here.  A way that should be. The way it was.  A way I remember and the way I prefer.  Levis and boots.  Wool caps and furry coats. Snowmobiles and 4x4's.  Fireplace smoke and gambling halls.  An obvious lack of beggars.  Churches galore and shopping a sparse.  Rivers run free and clear, and no trash littering the highways.

But soon I realize there is no escape from the Obama baloney.  I overhear even these folks ranting about his lies as I polish off my pastry at the local coffee shop.  The lies seem endless and more and more of them surface each day.  But still, some defend him while not enough of us call for his impeachment.  Much like sheep, so many seem not to care.  

But remember, A Nation of Sheep breeds a Government of Wolves.

A Point in History

.
Have you ever realized how soon significant incidents become insignificant or are even forgotten?

Think about it, and so that we stay somewhat current, I'll name just a few occurrences in American History.

Most say that Christopher Columbus discovered the America.  We had a war to gain our freedom from England, and another with the French, and another between ourselves.  Railroad crossed our counter from coast to coast.  Two world wars.  Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and then a cold war, and one war with Korea.  Civil rights came.  We launched men into space.  President Kennedy was assassinated.  Americans walked on the moon as we fought in Vietnam.  Russia fell, and the Chinese grew.  Mohammad Ali reigned as did did Joe Namath. The Black Panthers rose for a while as did Patty Hearst and the Simbianees Liberation Army.  L. Ron Hubbard, Rodney King and O.J. Simpson came and went as Los Angeles was on burned. 

But do you realize how much quicker things pass now.  And with every new day, we seem to forget more and more.  9-11 seems mostly forgotten now as our children we too young to remember it.  Our schools de-emphasize the importance of history and barely talk about it.

Most of us have forgotten the Liar that Obama has proved to be, and make excuses for his inability to lead this country effectively.  Our parents have passed, and our babies are being killed on our own streets or in a war abroad that makes little sense.  And everything just becomes anothe point in history with meaning, without love, and without learning.   So Sad....

You know I'm spinning my wheels preaching this stuff.  Some of you know what I'm talking about.  Others not.  But it really doesn't much matter to me any longer.  As Frederick E. Perl once wrote -

I do my thing, and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
and you are not here to live up to mine. 
You are you, and I am I
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.

When you stop dreaming

I guess I've been a dreamer for about as long as I can remember.  As a young boy, I'd thumb through the Sears catalog.  It seemed they had the answers to all my dreams, including a Honda moped with at top speed of 33mph that I believed would take me across the United States.  Well, the moped I wanted never actually materialized, but some 50 years later a Harley Davidson and a Motor Home with which I travelled America the past few years.

My dad was a career soldier.  Aside from the Army, he had second and third jobs to provide for Mom and her six kids. We never really had a home we could call our own, but when he retired in the late 70's, I saw the product of his hard work and the value of a pension.  So I dreamed of that. 

And from that day forward I followed his lead.  Got a wife and some kids of my own.  A house to raise them and a job that could support my goal of retiring before my health ran out.  And so it was.  My dreams materialized.  And I still dream, and they still come true.

Not so with today's generation it seems.  Children being given everything they ask for.  Few are ever held accountable.  Most are liars.  Some go to school only to do drugs or play sports.  Most grab irrelevant subjects in college and soon return home to again be coddled by their parents.  Government entitlements permit them to survive until they die.  Some sooner than later.  Some never having a dream fulfilled.

And so it is, especially in third world countries where there is endless violence and hunger.  Where most kids never have a dream long enough to experience it.  The just don't care and they join the hoards of others just like them.  All without a dream.  And the few that did, stopped.
     
What’s this got to do with you and me? A lot of people in America sleepwalk through life having no real dreams. Somewhere along the line we’ve lied to ourselves and believed a lie that chasing dreams is for kids, that we’re grown-ups now, that we need to make the best with what we have, just get through this day and forget about tomorrow.

And nothing could be further from the Truth.  You see, when you stop dreaming, you begin to die.

Counting my Blessings

.
Now that the year is about to close, I want you all to know that I don't always dwell on Obama Bulloney.

It has been a wonderful year for us.  We've been healthy and are fortunate to be relatively financially stable. 

We've had a marvelous opportunity to travel this great country, seeing sights that many have only read about in books or seen in a movie.  We've smelled the Rose Gardens of Pasadena, swam at beaches of both coasts.  We've watched Bald Eagles soar above our National Parks, and cried while standing on the battlefields of Gettysburg.

Stood beneath Niagara Falls, and admired the Amish in Ohio.  The Great Lakes and the once thriving cities of steel.  Historic baseball stadiums and the greatest golf courses in America.  Lobster tails and pizza galore along the east coast.  And a visit to Cape Canaveral, the very place that, as a child promised me that America was the leader in technology.

The Outer banks of the Carolina's and through the swamps of Louisiana.  The Great State of Texas and the canyons of Arizona.

But the most special memories of our year was spending time with our children, and their children.  Sharing their joy and offering encouragement for their future.  Singing, laughing and praying with them all the while knowing that they will someday be greater than anything I have imagined.

It's time to look forward now for me.  Splitting time spreading Obama Bulloney, and rediscovering myself in America.

Happy New Year!!

Casualties of Obamism

.
I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday.  For those of you that are Christian, I wish you all a Merry Christmas.  And for those of other faiths, I wish you the best of luck.

I often wonder, "If he had only told the truth?"  He is charming.  A great speaker.  A a nice family.  Claims to be an American.  A Harvard education.  He's motivated.  Plays basketball.  A minority of sorts.  Rich.  And leads a strong following.

Hey!  I hope most of you know who I am talking about by now.  -OBAMA- The first clue for you was that he's the only one I really talk about anymore.  But would I speak about him in a different light if he had only told the truth?

If you don't already know, there is so much more to Obama than the fact that he is a liar.

Obama's parents first met in a Russian class.  His mother was a communist sympathizer, and his father was a strong advocate of pure socialism.  He wrote about taxing the rich are taxed 100 percent of their wealth and redistributing it to others. 

Obama's teen mentor was Frank Marshal Davis, a known member of the Communist Party of the United States.  His brother Roy, and his cousin Odinga, are Marxists aligned in hard line Islamic groups in Kenya and are seeking in install total Sharia law there.  Obama attended Socialist conferences in Brooklyn.  Alice Parker, a Black Illinois Senator who attended Communist Party conferences in Russia during her term and authored articles in the Communist Party of the United States newspaper. 

Bill Ayers, a convicted terrorist, kicked off Obama's presidential campaign with a fundraising dinner in his house, but Obama denied ever meeting him.  Obama was associated with ACORN, an anti-capitalist group created to recruit voters, most of which were illegally obtained or obtained under false pretense.  And finally for this report, the Communist Party - USA supported Obama's bid for presidency.

Obama has of course denied everything I've brought to you in this posting, which in itself a lie.  But Obama is much more than a liar as I've stated.  But who he is and what he is doing to our countery is the real reason I'd dislike him.  And we are just now beginning to see the casualities to Americans he will bring.  More to come!

So, to answer my own question,  NO!  I would never have supported Obama even if he had told the Truth!

Obamacare - An American Nightmare before Christmas

.
Obamacare is America's greatest nightmare.

But why does it seem to a surprise to most of you?  Our nightmare is more than just a clunker of a website that can not serve the needs of the population.  It is the very essence of a healthcare system flawed from the start, but convincingly sold to us by promises made by a Liar.

Think about it.  How many Americans believed in a lie that 80 million uninsured could be added to a system without any cost increase to everyone else?  How many believed the lie that preexisting illnesses could be accepted by the insurance industry without a cost to anyone?  How many of us believed the lie that this healthcare plan would not effect the doctors and hospital costs that will lead to their withdrawal from the system?  And the only way an insurance company can stay afloat is to spread the the costs of their loss to the others in the game.  And since we have no option to play the game or not, the costs are given to us while the beneficiaries contribute nothing.

Think about it!  Would an auto insurance company take in a new client if that client wouldn't pay premiums? Or would the auto insurance company agree to repair a vehicle that was wrecked prior to being insured? But the ignorants of America somehow believed that a healthcare system built on these premises would work.  It's as simple as that!  Insurance is a business built upon the odds that an event will never occur.  So if you never have an auto claim, the company wins.  But if you make a claim before making a lot of payments, then you win.

So, if you are one of those that fell for Obama's lies, quit crying about it and get him and his chrommies out of office asap.  

Still surprised?

The Lyon King

.

Mychal Massie is well respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles.  The following is an exert from one of his commentaries.  It is very interesting to know that Massie is himself - Black.
  

The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation. I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous. Tcomport themselves as emperor and empress.

Obama’s arrogance by appointing 32 leftist czars and constantly bypassing congress is impeachable. Eric Holder is probably the MOST incompetent and arrogant DOJ head to ever hold the job.

Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama’s have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry, and they display an animus for civility.

I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to not being able to be proud of America. I view that statement and that mindset as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world.  Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to so.

The only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide.” No president in history has spent millions of dollars to keep his records and his past sealed.  And what the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother’s death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father’s military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nausea. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today.

He opposed rulings that protected women and children that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel. His wife treats being the First Lady as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement – as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.

We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.  And I have open scorn for their constantly playing the race card.

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are. There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people, as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.

Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed.

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation, and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America’s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.”

Can Muslims be good Americans?

.

This was passed on to me.  Perhaps this is why Muslims in America have been so quiet about thier faith.  It seems to support my previously published posts.

 

 Can a good Muslim be a good American?
   This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:
   Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia. 
    Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam. (Quran,2:256)(Koran) 
    Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.  Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
   Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
   Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
   Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34 )
   Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
   Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or   autocratic. 
    Spiritually - no. Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names. 
    Therefore, after much study and deliberation... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL  MUSLIMS in this  country. They obviously cannot be both  'good' Muslims  and 'good' Americans.  Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who  understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.
      The religious war is bigger than we know or understand!
  
 Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.  SO  FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
