GOOD vs RIGHT

What Is a Right?

by Andrew P. Napolitano

In the continually harsh public discourse over the President’s proposals for federally-managed healthcare, the Big Government progressives in both the Democratic and the Republican parties have been trying to trick us. These folks, who really want the government to care for us from cradle to grave, have been promoting the idea that health care is a right. In promoting that false premise, they have succeeded in moving the debate from WHETHER the feds should micro-manage health care to HOW the feds should micro-manage health care. This is a false premise, and we should reject it. Health care is not a right; it is a good, like food, like shelter, and like clothing.

What is a right? A right is a gift from God that extends from our humanity. Thinkers from St. Thomas Aquinas, to Thomas Jefferson, to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to Pope John Paul II have all argued that our rights are a natural part of our humanity. We own our bodies, thus we own the gifts that emanate from our bodies. So, our right to life, our right to develop our personalities, our right to think as we wish, to say what we think, to publish what we say, our right to worship or not worship, our right to travel, to defend ourselves, to use our own property as we see fit, our right to due process – fairness – from the government, and our right to be left alone, are all rights that stem from our humanity. These are natural rights that we are born with. The government doesn’t give them to us and the government doesn’t pay for them and the government can’t take them away, unless a jury finds that we have violated someone else’s rights.

What is a good? A good is something we want or need. In a sense, it is the opposite of a right. We have our rights from birth, but we need our parents when we are children and we need ourselves as adults to purchase the goods we require for existence. So, food is a good, shelter is a good, clothing is a good, education is a good, a car is a good, legal representation is a good, working out at a gym is a good, and access to health care is a good. Does the government give us goods? Well, sometimes it takes money from some of us and gives that money to others. You can call that taxation or you can call it theft; but you cannot call it a right.


If you like this site, please help keep it going and growing.


A right stems from our humanity. A good is something you buy or someone else buys for you.

Now, when you look at health care for what it is, when you look at the US Constitution, when you look at the history of human freedom, when you accept the American value of the primacy of the individual over the fleeting wishes of the government, it becomes apparent that those who claim that healthcare is a right simply want to extend a form of government welfare.

When I make this argument to my Big Government friends, they come back at me with…well, if people don’t have health insurance, they will just go to hospitals and we will end up paying for them anyway. Why should that be? We don’t let people steal food from a supermarket or an apartment from a landlord or clothing from a local shop. Why do we let them take healthcare from a hospital without paying for it? Well, my Big Government friends contend, that’s charity.

They are wrong again. It is impossible to be charitable with someone else’s money. Charity comes from your own heart, not from the government spending your money. When we pay our taxes to the government and it gives that money away, that’s not charity, that’s welfare. When the government takes more from us than it needs to secure our freedoms, so it can have money to give away, that’s not charity, that’s theft. And when the government forces hospitals to provide free health care to those who can’t or won’t care for themselves, that’s not charity, that’s slavery. That’s why we now have constitutional chaos, because the government steals and enslaves, and we outlawed that a long time ago.

Where are we going? and, Who Cares?

What are You gonna do about it? thanx Judge Napalitano......Selah!!!!!

Facts, vs Hearsay

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,


It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:

* The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
* Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
* Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
* War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
* Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
* Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
* The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??




Senate Republicans have just released an outstanding chart highlighting the accounting games that Democrats are playing with the costs of their proposed health-care overhaul. The Democrats assert that their Senate bill would cost $848 billion over ten years. But Congressional Budget Office projections show that only 1 percent of those costs would kick in prior to the fifth year of what the Democrats are calling the “first 10 years.” In the bill’s true first 10 years (2014 to 2023) — that is, in the first 10 years in which it would be operational to any meaningful extent — the CBO projects that the bill would cost $1.8 trillion.
But it gets even worse. The CBO doesn’t say that the bill’s total costs from 2010 to 2019 (99 percent of which would come from 2014-onward) would be $848 billion — or that its total costs in its real first 10 years (2014 to 2023) would be $1.8 trillion. Rather, it says that these would be the gross costs of the bill’s “expansions in insurance coverage.” The CBO shows that there are many other costs in the bill as well, including spending related to the CLASS Act, risk-adjustment payments, funding for the government-run “public option” (not a cent of which is included in the figure for “expansions in insurance coverage”), and other new federal spending.

The question remains, when do we, the American Citizen, do the Right Thing? It is time to stand up for this Country that allows us such great Freedoms....

A US SENATOR on justifiying HealthCare reform

SOMETIME POLITICIANS DON'T GET THE ANGER. i SENT A STRONLY WORDED STATEMENT TO SEN BILL NELSON (D-fl) REGARDING HIS SUPPORT OF HEALTHCARE AGENDA BEING PROPOSED BY HARRY REID. HERE IS MR NELSONS RESPONSE:(COPIED AND PASTED)

Please do not reply to this e-mail. If you need to send another message to Senator Nelson, please use the form on his Web site: http://billnelson.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm#email

Dear Mr. GreatStoneMan

Thank you for contacting me about health care reform.

On October 13, I joined a bipartisan majority in the Finance Committee and voted to pass the America's Healthy Future Act of 2009. Senator Reid merged this bill with another bill passed by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee earlier this year, and unveiled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009. On November 21, I voted to bring this bill up for debate.

I am pleased with much of what is in Senator Reid’s bill. It would allow those who are happy with their insurance to keep what they’ve got, including veterans and seniors on Medicare. It creates State-based exchanges where those without coverage, or those who are unhappy with what they have, can get coverage at an affordable price. The bill also would hold insurers' feet to the fire, requiring them to cover everyone and preventing them from dropping someone who gets sick. Additionally, it contains several measures aimed at reducing overall medical and prescription drug costs and eliminating waste and fraud in the system. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that Senator Reid’s bill will reduce the Federal budget deficit by $130 billion over ten years.

Among the improvements I added to the bill in the Finance Committee is a provision that would preserve benefits for an estimated 800,000 Medicare Advantage enrollees in Florida and another provision that would protect tax benefits for seniors who have high medical expenses. I am happy that these provisions are included in Senator Reid’s bill as well.

As for a public option, Senator Reid’s bill includes a public option that would allow States to opt out if they choose. I support this plan because it will provide consumers with more choices and make it harder for any one company, public or private, to dominate the insurance market.

I intend to improve this bill by introducing an amendment that will force pharmaceutical companies to give rebates to the Federal government for certain drugs purchased under the Medicare Part D program. These rebates will save the government billions, which will be used to fill the gap in Part D coverage known as the “doughnut hole.”

I am hopeful that the Senate will vote on this bill before the end of the year. Regardless of where anyone stands on the specifics, I think we all can agree that the system we have can be unfair and too costly, and needs reform. Again, I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. Please don't hesitate to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Nelson

P.S. From time to time, I compile electronic news briefs highlighting key issues and hot topics of particular importance to Floridians. If you'd like to receive these e-briefs, visit my Web site and sign up for them at http://billnelson.senate.gov/news/ebriefs.cfm

I RESPONDED TO SEN NELSON, THUSLY:


Dear Sir. It is evident that you think that Government can do better than the private sector in creating a better health care organization. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

I do not.

Thus as you have decided to vote for the "NATIONALIZATION" of our HealthCare, and ALL related aspects of our countries' HealthCare facilities/systems. You will find that many are beginning to realize that this "program' you support will, eliminate Doctors, they will retire. Reduce the income to medical professionals, and eliminate the greatest healthcare system, and medical providing service in the history of man.IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

YOU would rather tear down this service in order to provide some small semblance of service to those few that don't have access, or choose not to have access, rather than adjust that which is, and reform the problems.IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

I see you and this agenda of reform you so adamantly support, as political party loyalists gone amok. Even Howard Dean, who you have recognized as a very knowledgeable on this subject, has stated "Kill the BILL', yet, you cannot see the wrongheadedness of your position. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

You don't deserve to be in DC, and again since you so strongly support, like a lemming, that "Party Line", we need to remove you.

The facts don't justify your actions. The reform should be in insurance access, across state lines, create competition (a capitalistic principle you have rejected); in tort reform; and in tax credits to assist those who have a need to have insurance. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

There should be a reform for pre-existing conditions; a way for the insured to change insurance carriers. However, to jail people, or to mandate' participation,as a revenue source goes against all that our CONSTITUTION, that you swore an oath to protect, states.IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

Again, you have rejected listening to the majority of your constituents' voices, and put the politics of your democrat party ahead of the well being of your country. Those are the deeds of a traitor....IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!

I have copied this, sent to the local newspaper, that won't print it, and posted this on my blog:

ANOTHER'S PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!!!!

SOMETIMES JUST POSTING AN EMAIL, IS ENUFF.






THE USA Needs A Leader Like This:


Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia



Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..


Separately, Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'


'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'


Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

ENUFF SAID, APPLY THESE PRINCIPLES HERE..........SELAH....GSM

So Little Time.......

Hard to figure where to begin, there is so much "news".

THE OBAMA-NATION by DEVASTATION, continues........

The Global Warming lie, manipulation of facts by Professor Mann (from Penn State, creator of the Hockey Stick Temp Graph), and Nasa, first. Then, our Congress now claiming the emails, claiming these new facts, were 'hacked', WOW. OUR CONGRESS WANTS TO INVESTIGATE THE "HACKING" OF THIS INFORMATION (a lie); BUT, NOT THE INFORMATION IN THE EMAILS, ITSELF, NOR THE LIES PERPETRATED ON THE CITIZENS OF THE USA, by Gore, Michael Moore, and the other Global Warming Fanatics in these released emails.......THE FACTS: A Freedom of Information request in the UK, to the UK, was submitted, and responded to (not hacked), and this info came out, Gore must be rolling over in his....., well soon to be, grave, I understand he's not going to Copenhagen, NOW, and our Congress still has plans to deal with 'Cap and Enslave' legislation.......my, my, my....

Our Military is gonna put on a Court Martial for three Navy Seals, accused of allegedly punching a captured terrorist in the belly, this guy was the leader of the group that captured three Private Contractor Americans, in Iraq, murdering them and then dragged their dead, burned bodies through a town in Iraq, for all the world to see, and finally hanging them from a bridge. I guarantee this, had I been there, that thug, and the entire town, would have had more than a punch in the belly.........

The Obama HealthCare (Population Reduction Plan)has been re-calculated to finally include the costs from actual implementation date, not just the ten year plan, excluding the 'fund raising' time of the first four years that were cost-free, the bill is actually over 2.5TRILLION DOLLARS, where is the outrage? Where are the Barack bashers hiding, only in the blogs, and FOX. so sad how blind (distracted by the 'beautiful people) we are.

Is there any correlation between the "Dumbing Down of America", and this gradual implementation of this plank of the Progressive Agenda? Does the HealthCares focus on not caring for, and reducing expenditures for, the elderly, assist in reducing the number of people still alive that remember what Liberty actually is? The Commies in the Soviet Union, burned books, and killed off all the past vestiges, and the learned individuals, to stop the 'passing on' of the the heritage of their Country, too.......

Reports out now that over 60 Million workers in the United Sates, don't contribute at all to the Income Tax pool, that is nearly 40% of all workers, how much can the Government tax Hounds take from the wealthy, alone? No outrage. yet?

How about the "JOBS FORUM" in D.C., this week, the only invitees were those who created the initial stimulus package, the TARP Program (bailout), and the Unions, I guess the Unions were there to see how many more Private companies Barack was going to give them.........(GM, etc) Interesting to hear the the American Chamber of Commerce, The National Federation of Independent Businesses, and The National Manufacturing Association, were ALL not invited, these Associations represent over 60% of American workers, the last thing this Administration wants is to have representatives of other opinions involved with discussions. Maybe it is a party thing, the dems didn't want the Republicans involved with HealthCare discussions/negotiations either.......Hmmmmm

Oh, and least we forget, the "so-called" DC Party Crashers, that won't go before Congress Voluntarily, or Miss Diseree, the WhiteHouse Social Director, won't go before Congress, because of "Separation of Powers Clause", the Social Director, NOT under Executive Privilege? come on, this is another of these Obama distractions, he's doing something else, while we weren't looking, as this media is focused on this charade.... This is such an obvious deal, bet Barack goes to Copenhagen and signs off on another Kyoto Agreement, giving away more of our tax dollar, or, maybe the results from the Job Summit, he keeps spending like this Monopoly Money...while we weren't looking.........selah

Wake up and smell the roses America, ............GSM

'Pc'nn

The recent events in the news have just been astounding. The Fort Hood Terrorist Attack, yup, that is what it was, Terrorism. The Passing of the Democrat HealthCare Takeover, The PC (not Personal Computer) reporting (or, lack there of, reporting I mean) from our "news" media ( would fact manipulators be too harsh?) is something that has come to a peak recently.

That the one Republican Representative that voted FOR the Pelosi Takeover, was coerced by a large monetary stipend for his district, one million dollars plus, isn't this the TAXPAYERS money? is this how we expect our hard earned tax money to be used? What more was given to some of the 'blue-dogs' that voted for it, and as of yet hasn't been reported? But, the Republican, CAO, was reported, widely.

That the Fort Hood shooter, a MUSLIM, in good standing, reportedly by his own brother, a "good American", is now having the fact that he was in touch with Al Quiada, for months, maybe years, reported, and that the Feds were very much aware of it. What gives there? Is he going to be put on trial in a Civilian Court? Shouldn't he be tried in a Military Court, for High Crimes, and Treason?, to face a firing squad? Should happen!!! will it?

That under the radar, the President is going to Copenhagen, to discuss the UN Climate Control Summit, are you ready to hand over the control of this issue, climate control, in the USA, to the UN??? Hand over our Sovereignty, our Liberty, and our Tax Dollars, it has been reported as much as $3000 per family, for the UN to GIVE to other countries, TAKE THE CREDIT, not even telling the recipients that it came from the US taxpayer, and WE have to BORROW that from China, a country we built up, and it won't even sign onto this bill, nor will India, another country we built up. What is going on in DC? and why aren't we hearing about it? PC.........
Political Correctness, about the UN, the Progressives (WHO???) want the control of the WHOLE world to be at the UN. This is just the first UN-Nail in the USA coffin.....

That Fort Hood, gunman? he's a Muslim, we cannot ride that religion, he just flipped out, that religion isn't like that. All religion is alike,peaceful, not supporters of Terrorism, can't we just ALL get along?. yup, we got the Methodist Jihadists, ...the Lutheran Terror death squads,... yup we need to show (report) that Islam is a 'peaceful' religion {if the peaceful Muslims say anything bad about us (ISLAM), we'll just remove their heads, such a disgrace}. [sic]They (MUSLIMs) don't want to hurt anybody!! We DO need to understand that anything that was once Muslim, is always Muslim, wasn't Barack, once a Muslim?, Isn't that what his application to that Indonesian School says? Barry S? Remember that 17 year old Muslim girl petrified by having to go home after converting to Christianity, another 'justified-killing, for family pride?' what is that called?......HONOR KILLING? whose honor?

Then Barack wants a Stimulus Package II, have you heard? For Roads, Bridges, and creating/renovating Energy Efficient (Green, using our 'green' tax-dollars) Buildings, after the first one (stimulus) cost us $3125 per person, and HealthCare will cost us $1500 per person (at least one half a Trillion dollars, after the Medicare cuts), and Copenhagen could cost us $3000 per family, the Bush tax cuts expire, and then this, how much more can this citizenry afford?

What is the rationale? Is any of this Constitutional? Why is this happening?

Oh yeah, Sen Dodd (of Countrywide Mortgage SweetHeart Deal fame) wants unknown Billions, or Trillions, to replace the Federal Reserve, and create a new Federal bureaucracy (under whose control?), for monetary control/regulation. what? No wonder the Legislators don't want us in any military action, they can't afford to spend any money on our defense, they have to maintain, and grow, the NannyState.

Got the picture? as we become more self-centered (buy more votes), and spend more on ourselves (create more dependency), the enemies of Liberty will get stronger, leaving what, course of action? Are you seeing it yet? Does it hit home yet? Do you see the path, yet?

Get ready America, the ball is in your court, do you call your legislators and DEMAND to STOP the SPENDING? or, do you just laugh all the way to the welfare office, to pick up the Federal IOU stub, and buy your video games, and cable TV.

While YOU WERE SLEEPING, YOUR COUNTRY was SOLD DOWN the RIVER...... y'know???? selah....GSM

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Do as I say..........

Wow, are there any people paying attention to the news?

Does the fact that ACORN is about to be refunded by YOUR tax dollars, effective this Saturday, the 31st, bother anybody, it does me. Or, are you bothered by the fact that the Community Renovation Act, allows the Banks to not have to loan money to unqualified borrowers, if the Banks give money to ACORN?, this is in legislation! From our Government?

WHAT??????????

I see Barack has played golf (gentleman only ladies forbidden) 24 times since he became Pres, the press got all over Bush for 6 times he played in his first term, HMMMMM

or, the multiple fund raisers he, Baraqck, has had, over 25, closer to 30, Bush had about 8, hmmmmmmm. Where is the media????

I ask people to open there eyes, ears, and their mouth, maybe their fingers, and respond. Say something, stand up for this Country, that has allowed us all the opportunity to have, and broadcast, perspectives, the freedom, the liberty, to be and do, as we deem fit, ..where are you?

The Prez, has now considered reducing the amount of troops that Gen McChristal, his appointed General in Afghanistan, in what he called the "Just War", from 40K, to 20K, The press is calling Gen McChristal Light!!Quite cute name eh?

As we abandon our Troops there, the People who Trusted us, and allow the Taliban, and Al Quida, to re-establish their grasp ( a base of operations) on this poor country, that has Poppys as a major crop income. I remember reading how the Taliban forced people to join them, by strapping one poor soul down, and made his family watch as they peeled his skin off, leaving them in shock, and the victim in tremendous pain,awaiting a mercyful death. This is what we are letting take control, if we implement 'McChrystal Light'. But, we are too busy with HealthCare, yup, too important to fund the government for 3 to 5 years so that it "looks" like there is enough money, for the ten years, that are actually 7. Hmmmm (If you read it [if you can find it], you'll understand)

WHO Cares????????

Who is Worried?

We have met the enemy, and he is us....POGO....

Americans ARE talking, who is listening?

I cannot read your response/note, without answering. The problem is why fear, why be scared. And the answer is to point fingers, and blame. We can't get away from the TV, and thinking about ourselves to see what the direction our country is going, towards. Distraction from the world events, is the forte of this government, don't worry about it, we'll handle it, when we finally do "see", what are we gonna see? what is going to be left? It is the responsibility of each American Generation, to make sure the next American Generation is able to continue, we aren't doing our job, and neither are our elected officials, they ALL have to be dealt with.

The Stimulus Bill, Cap and Trade, Potential Stimulus 2, and HealthCare are going to subject your children and grandchildren to HUGE debt, that cannot be repaid. What happens then?

What is the intention? Is Business, private enterprise ALL wrong? Do individuals taint the perspective on capitalism? Where are we going with this administration?

Bush was President for 9 months, 9/11 happened, and ALL was his fault, we supported him, temporarily. Barack has had more time, gotten bigger/costlier legislation passed, and NO one has complained that his promises are not being kept.or his programs are gonna bankrupt US!!!!, and he wants to spend more, where is the money gonna come from? Remember Carter? and Ford, the misery index? Whip Inflation Now (WIN), we're gonna go back there, and it seems gladly, and knowingly.

GITMO-we're getting out of there by JUNE..HA
-Stimulus Package-If we don't pass it fast, unemployment will surpass 8%. We did, AND it has spiked, fast, now near 10%, higher else where.
-NO Drilling here, yet we give millions (billions) to Brazil to drill offshore. We have the Balkkins Reserve, and The North Slope, in Alaska, yet we are paying for oil from our enemies, funding their wars, , so they can kill us!!! still, Bush didn't do anything either. The situation is critical. yet, we won't drill here, why?
HealthCare won't raise our Debt....Just wait and watch, Government has a track record on staying on"budget". Social Security; Medicare; Medicade; FannieMae; FreddieMac ;the US Postal Service; They can't even protect our borders from illegal's (did you know that the Supreme Court decided that any law congress passes that is for the Populous (aka. masses), couldn't be kept from the people here illegally, that means he can't stop illegals from benefiting from any program he signs, so much for illegals being excluded, he DID lie, Wilson was right!!!)

Our borders are still unprotected, and we are about to send 400 patrollers away from Mexico border, to Canada border. HUH???Let's grow government, how do we pay for the only segment of our economy that is growing, Government. Union workers, all, why does SEIU, and Acorn have such pull? Tough Questions need to be asked,

Cap and Trade? who profits there? Al Gore, and his friends, we, the people, lose........as usual, "what we don't know won't hurt us.........MUCH!!!Who has control of the Carbon Credits? check it out, A privately held corporation, headed by AL GORE.......Hmmm

I don't favor either party, I'm a Conservative (In the past the Republican Party was closer to my principles, not anymore, though there are still SOME Conservatives left there) I want change for the good of America, limit Government, We can and should be self sufficient, with LESS Government interference I will not condone or sit back anymore and WAIT for some incompetent President to GUT our country. He was 'given' the Nobel peace prize, by socialists, for his socialist tendencies. Income Redistribution wont work/ look at Europe, as it moves away from that practice, and slowly recovers. we enter these socialist gates, thru these new policies, without a fight......WHY?

The American People through their consumption can get this economy moving, Government Policy, and taxes will only delay, maybe even halt our only chance to recovery. KICK US WHEN WE ARE DOWN, that is this Administration's adage. you see it regularly

He voiced support for Afgan War during the campaign, yet when HIS General requests more troops, he waffles (USSR got out of Afganistan, these Muslims don't respect or value life, TOO LONG? that is what happens as they succeed in breaking our willingness, dragging this conflict out, they win if they hold out, we don't), But put more taxes on the people on the table, and he'll rush that through. We need to open our eyes before we give the rest of our country to others, and the management of private enterprise to the government (banks, autos, healthcare, energy through cap and trade, is only the beginning..... "he's only had 9 months".... JUST THINK WHAT HE CAN DO IN 48 MONTHS) . The Auto Industry, The Banks that survived, were chosen by this administration. Government has proven one thing, they tax the HELL out of us, supposedly for our benefit, and spend it on other things, like their health care, their social security, NOT for us, Not by us, Not of us. They claim the stimulus package HAS turned it around, yet 65% of the package hasn't been spent yet, and almost NO "Shovel-Ready" projects have been started, or funded, THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF PORK.

We are running out of time to realize the Progressive agenda, that goes all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt, and is advocated by Obama, if we honestly check our history, is about to be our downfall.

I put a sign on the back window of my car, "Hey DC......WHY?"

It is time to change the game, and how it is played. I believe we should RAIN on their parade....Remove All Incumbents Now.

REIGN them in before we are all CHANGED, by a Government that doesn't honor the Constitution they swore to defend...........


-------------------------------------------------------------


While I don't watch Fox, and hate Bill O'Reilly (because he's arrogant), I don't agree with the Administration about a lot of things and trying to censor the news or leaving Fox out, to me, is wrong.
However, I refuse to let fear and hate mongering take over my way of thinking and I really do hope this administration is going in the right direction. Obama has only been in office for 10 months (or thereabouts) and we have to give him a chance. I truly believe Bush and Cheney fucked up our economy and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has been going on too long. That is how I feel. Of course I don't expect you to agree with me but it seems like there are some positive things coming along, after all, Obama did win the Nobel Peace Prize and the whole world is looking at us differently than they used to.
I believe in America and think there is a lot of things we don't know about and never will know about. I think a lot of things we read on the internet are to scare people and sometimes we have to check the facts before we jump on the "hate Obama" wagon. Of course I hate Rush Limbaugh, too but I DO LIKE NEAL BOORTZ, and always listen to the other side, if only for a few minutes so I know what folks are thinking. I sort of like Glen Beck, too until he goes into his rants and I can see why people get scared or start to hate, so I turn it off. ----------------------------------------------

Am I the only one that remembers Hilliary's rant about disagreeing with an administration IS patriotic? Why should this Administration have the audacity to "black-ball" ANY NEWS organization? When do YOU stand up?

Obama Aide: Fox News Our 'Opponent'

Monday, October 12, 2009 12:40 PM


By: John Rossomando


Fox News seems to enjoy being on the White House's enemies list.

A festering enmity between the Obama administration and the cable network boiled over Sunday when The New York Times quoted White House communications director Anita Dunn as saying of Fox: “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent.”

Fox Senior Vice President for News Michael Clemente fired back at what he called the White House’s “attack mentality.”



“Perhaps the energy would be better spent on the critical issues we are worried about,” Clemente said in a statement the network issued.

If Fox’s ratings are any clue, the administration’s attacks seem to be having the opposite of their desired effects. As of last week, the network has averaged 1.2 million viewers throughout the year, up from around 1 million viewers a year ago. This surpasses the network’s previous viewership record of 1.1 million viewers, which was set in 2003, the year the war began in Iraq.

In June, President Obama attacked Fox without mentioning it by name, saying it was devoted entirely to attacking his administration and that its coverage of his actions were all negative.

“Every time they [attack], our ratings go up,” Bill Shine, Fox’s senior vice president for programming, told the Times.

A Fox executive who declined to be identified said the attacks could solidify the network’s base. He quoted Fox Chairman Roger Ailes as having said: “Don’t pick a fight with those who like to fight.”

Paul Rittenberg, the network’s top ad executive, said, “People who watch Fox News believe it is the home team,” but Democrats don’t see it that way because of its critical coverage of the president and his political agenda.

Dunn’s comments followed press reports that Ailes had met with top Obama adviser David Axelrod for coffee in New York in what Politico called “a Fox summit.”

The White House communications director also took aim at controversial comments various Fox hosts have made against the administration.

These have included comments by immensely popular host Glenn Beck, whose 5 p.m. show has become a “cultural phenomenon,” with 3 million viewers, according to Shine.

Beck was credited with forcing the resignation of former green jobs czar Van Jones, whom he described as a “communist-anarchist radical.”

Weeks earlier, Beck came under attack from the Color of Change, a group Jones helped found, after he called the president “racist” during a Fox and Friends segment, which prompted several advertisers to pull their spots from his program.

Rittenberg, however, says the boycott has had no impact on Fox’s revenue because the advertising has been shifted to other parts of the day.

The administration also bristles about certain hosts' advocacy of the Tea Party movement.

Fox recently bolstered its Fox Business unit by hiring libertarian journalist John Stossel away from ABC, and it reportedly is trying to woo administration critic Lou Dobbs away from CNN. Dobbs met with Ailes last month over dinner, the Times reported.

“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that is the way legitimate news agencies behave,” Dunn said.

Last month, the president appeared on all of the major networks’ Sunday talk shows except for Fox News Sunday, which the White House called an “ideological outlet.” This prompted Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace to call the administration “the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.”

Dunn dismissed Wallace’s comments as juvenile and said the administration would talk with Fox but said the White House would not "legitimize them as a news organization.”

The network defends its presentation of the news as objective during its news hours of 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., including the anchor Shepard Smith's evening newscasts. Dunn even acknowledged that Fox reporter Major Garrett, its chief White House correspondent, is fair.

Obama Wonderings

I've blogged about the news, rarely my opinion. I've blogged about what I've heard, rarely about remedy.

What can be done now, to fix the direction our Nation is going? or better still what direction is it going, and is the direction good or bad? These are really the questions I'd appreciate feed-back on. What is the 'mood' out there? what kind of change are we about to be subjected to? is it bad, or good, and if you have an opinion, GOOD or BAD, For Whom?

What will be the cause and effect/affect? What is next on the change agenda, and can we afford the changes we are about to be subjected to?, can we survive these changes?

Is there any concern outside of the few who read the blogs? I don't hear anyone! Do you? Lets talk about it. Need to hear the OTHER SIDE!!!

or, are we now no longer able to influence our future, are we now just the sheep, lambs being led to slaughter........

Is all that is about to happen, out of our sphere of influence? are we ready to roll over? or, or we ready to declare, 'let's roll?' where do you stand..........We gotta be heard.........Where are you?

OBAMA-nation

Hearing the news, and the voices of pundits, Curiosity, and inquiries perculate inside.....




Wonder why Hilliary supports ObamaCare so adamantly? How similar is his program to her proposals that were so badly received 15 years ago?




Wonder why the number of uninsured is reported in such a wide range? from 45million, to 10million? or, why no ILLEGAL immigrants will be covered by Obama's Government Program? The implementation of ObamaCare won't be until 2013, plenty of time to Legalize all those ILLEGALS, which is his plan, so no mention of them not being included/excluded is necessary, in the HealthCare Bill, don't trust me, read his words......




Wonder why it took 2 twenty-something year old to expose ACORN, and finally get the ear of our elected officials? Acorn, the name will disappear, and become something else, one of the multitude of names affiliated with it, like SEIU? SEE NO EVIL,SEE NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, the current philosophy of Elected officials. They only cover their ass.......




or Why the Dept of Justice(without Prez Obama's approval, oh come on!!!) is investigating the CIA?Creating cash-for-clunkers; cash for appliances? Cap and Trade, the BAILOUTS, the Stimulus Program? All in such a hurry? Why the rush?




Then please take the time to read this. All the Czars, and unvetted officials, who are paid by our tax dollar, are in one way or another affiliated with multiple 60's and 70's radical groups, SDS, WeatherUnderground, to name a couple. and their plan is, has been, and will be to "change" the way this country does business. What ever name it is finally called, there will be more Government, less capitalism, and much higher taxes, hidden in programs as "fees". just watch this is a 'smoke screen', designed to keep your eye 'off the ball', it is doing its job, a slight of hand masterpiece, and we are not even looking in the right direction... No don't watch, take the time, make the effort, and learn what is happening here. Did the bad economic news earlier this year justify the take-over of of the automobile industry, the banking business, and the reduction of competition within the investment community? Lehman Bros disappeared, Goldman Sachs remains, where are all the new Government officials coming from? Goldman Sachs!! hummm, just a coincidence? NOT. Why did AIG get backing? they were the major investor/insurance company for the Dem, and US Gov't. Merrill Lynch?, now a part of Bank of America? there was some coercion here.....read it, if you dare. Who is going to to profit from Cap and Trade? beside the 'inventor of the Internet'.......




Wonder why so little is said about how current Doctors react to the new Health Programs? Not only will millions additionally, that will need to have access to Doctors services, overcrowding the offices, and decreasing the fees given to the physicians, the doctors also at a rate of 45% polled,are going to quit, if the ObamaCare is implemented, . Wonder what the consequences of their departure is?




How much further will this nationalization of our economy go? What will be next? our soft drinks, Coke, Pepsi, and the like? yup? As the government takes over more of our economy, the reward for inventions, new ideas, modernization, and innovation will go away, the Great American Idea Engine will be destroyed, then new business will go, then new jobs, and as the economic engine is stumbling, the Government needs more dollars, thus more tax, this vicious cycle will, can only lead to one thing. and it will hurt us all..........




One World Government, One World Currency, and One World Leadership. Then, the individual will disappear, in favor of Mankind, in general. Are you excited yet?




How about Iran, which recently launched a satellite, heard that anywhere yet? NO? wonder why!!Now has Nuclear bomb capability. Why is this important? Ballistic missile capability make their nuclear capability a long range strike ability, like to Europe, and Obama goes and stops antimissile technology being placed in Poland, and Chekoslovakia, (PUTIN, loves this decision, wonder why)




We are setting on a Huge, Obama-ination.....and we, elected him...Are you happy with the change?YET?




God Bless Us, OPEN OUR EYES......SELAH...............GSM

Barak Obama's Indoctrination/Implementation

Get used to it, He loves to talk. The adage, 'Talk is cheap, it takes money to buy beer' is very appropriate to Him. Him is President Obama. He is like the EverReady Bunny, going, going, but in his case, he will soon be gone, and in his dust, he will have disrupted, and damaged, this country, and the economy, to almost historic levels. Just remember this IS his plan, break the system, something then has to replace what he broke, and what he wants to replace it with, is what we can't fathom, we don't see, and most aren't willing to look for.....

(Czars, 33 and counting)

So, like he's told you, he doesn't think reparations go far enough, he's told you that the Stimulus, Cap and Trade, and ObamaHealthCare, the GOVERNMENT plan, not the politically correct named... PublicPlan... which are one and the same, people. HIS PLAN is to put US in debt to China for trillions. He is NOT interested in these figures, only the result.... USA's demise.


What we need to advocate, in HealthCare REFORM:

-Reduce law suits, and the amount of liability these suits can bring, TORT REFORM!!!

-Make all Health insurance carriers' policies available to every state, not bought from only a select, state approved, few, in each state, you know, competition, I've railed about the intentional reduction of this philosophy, in the past entries.

-Promote free enterprise, not Government-Growth (this ObamaCare Power-Grab), what has the Government ever done right (Read Social Security, almost broke; Read Medicaid, and Medicare, almost broke, and mismanaged,; Read Fannie-Mae, and Freddie Mac, mis-managed, and corrupted by political cronyism; read the US Postal Service, almost run out of business by more efficient, better organized PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, the list goes on..)? Even the military, Especially under Obama, has been a travesty. The Overseas Contingency Operation, was known as the WAR on TERROR, has been dismal, and Gitmo's closing, the prisoner placement, has been a joke. He, Obama, is not capable of generating a plan, implementing a plan, and winning a WAR, or keeping the Peace. He is so interested in appeasement of his constituents, that there will be nothing left of this ' the Noble Experiment', when he is finally voted out of office, in disgrace. {only three more years, how much damage can He do in that period?}

-Some tax credits for individuals to purchase Health Policies, if they want to, not a mandate for every citizen to own some.

In a Capitalist System, competition generates better pricing, better service, and more innovation. HE HAS YET TO LEARN THESE BASIC PRINCIPLES, AND BASED ON THE FURROWS NOW APPEARING ON HIS BROW, NEVER WILL......

When the Government (public) program is implemented, Insurance companies will be dropped by employers, in favor of the Government's Plan, He doesn't tell you that, does he. This is a less costly way for the employer to provide the healthcare benefit, and will be readily accepted by employers to cut costs, and Government Oversight, to the detriment of Insurance Companies. When the insurance companies don't have enrollees, they will shut down, leaving just the Government program, too many claimants, and not enough Doctors, what happens, THEN?

SO What does happen then? Where do the sick go for care? Where are all the Doctors going to be? Why is this the direction OUR Government wants to take us? WHO in their right mind wants this kind of program? Restrictions, Regulations, and Ques? Who benefits, and at what cost? Who will gain, and who will not?

Obama is Right about one thing, IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.........

The change is less Washington DC, and More pull up YOUR OWN BOOTSTRAPS, and
"Let's Roll"

IT IS TIME TO REIGN IN THE POLITICOS in Washington DC,

It is time to R.A.I.N. on their parade.

Remove All Incumbents Now!!!!!!!

Pray For the USA
God Help Us.......................GSM

August Musings on Obama

Our President has figured a way to say one thing, and actively do another. What does this type of maneuver mean to US, the citizens of America?

Well, lets talk about the incidents/policies I'm referring to first, and then what it bodes for us.

First, during the election, how easy was it for this man to throw his 20 year pastor, under the bus, and his grandmother, who raised him, right under there with the pastor? Pretty hard/cold/calculating, person has to be in this person to do this so easily. His preacher taught 'African Liberation Theology', I hope anyone who reads this, knows what that is, by now. To what means, these alterations in his circle, affects his direction, should be a question on everyone's mind.....
Next, The CIA is under investigation, and in so doing the entire Bush Administration, too, for the handling of terrorists, and learning their secrets. These guys, terrorists, declared war on us, and we are gonna now hold their hands, let em out of GITMO? Read them Miranda Rights? and get them released from jail?? Since When does a subsequent administration review, judge, and PUNISH, by investigating, a previous administration? rather than just change a policy? Has this happened before? and, why now? What is to be gained? Why demonize the past? and why a 180 degree turn on Islam? '"don't blame me, point fingers"
Maybe this, by re-emphasizing the manner in which we commemorate 9/11, now (per PrezBHO) as a day of service, rather than a day to Commemorate the loss, like we remember Pearl Harbor, or the Alamo, or the Maine, we will no longer consider the muslim Religion as the terrorists, that they are; but, remember what Rodney King said, "can't we just all get along?". I think there is a clue in this. {Did you know that the GREEN JOBS CZAR, a Mr Van Jones, was arrested for rioting during the Rodney King Riots in Los Angeles, and came out of jail as an avowed Communist?}
The ObamaCare legislation is losing support, going backward, is this the time to put Teddy Kennedy's name on the bill, like Prez Johnson did with Civil Rights Bill, after JFK's assassination, and got it passed thru by saying it was what he wanted???How many of these 'slight of hand' machinations is he, BHO, gonna throw at us before we wise up, and see the light?
We change the name from the War on Terror, to the Overseas Contingency Operations, we remove the CIA, THE CIA!!! from terrorist investigation, and interrogation, and now we learn the the White House will interrogate Osama Bin Laden, if he is captured! The Census bureau won't run the census, Acorn (through the White House) will, what's next? When will our eyes see, our ears hear? The 'grassroots' uprising against ObamaHealthCare, is tagged as artificial, mob-like, the hand written posters are fake, and the whole TeaParty and questioning of policy, is labelled as organized, not real, and not indicative of the peoples' perspective. BUT, the 'fresh-off-the-printer' placards declaring a favourable perspective toward GovernmentCare, toted by SEIU, Acorn, AFL-CIO, are truly Americans speaking, bussed in, but American.......WHAT? are we just gonna sit back and accept this? Is the Written Media, and Broadcast TV News just gonna fall in place, lock-step, behind this guy? {Did anyone see the MSNBC story about guns being brought to the local town halls, recently? You had to see how it was reported that ANGRY WHITE MEN were bringing semiautomatic rifles to these functions, you had to at least see the pictures they broadcast showing the guns. you did, didn't you? They cut part of the film, right after seeing the guns, panned up, and before video showed the gun carriers head, went back to the studio to hear one of the 'talking heads' say, "Gun Carrying White Guys......." , that part of the news clip/video that was cut, as the camera panned up, revealed a BLACK man's head, heaven forbid, don't tell us the truth,!!! What is going on here? Does this Matter? Who Cares? WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, the fix is in!!!!Cronies and the TeaPot Dome. David Immelt as a Commissioner on the FED, .....HUH...??
Finally, who are these Czars, and what are they doing whispering into BHO's ear. Who is this new FCC DIVERSITY CZAR, don't call him Czar(per BHO Administration), Federal Communications Commission? Not only who? but why? Where did he come from? What Diversity is need at the FCC? Diversity, the root word for this is divide, like divide and conquer, what is this all about? Who is this guy, Mark Lloyd, where did he come from? What are his politics? He claims his job is to create Diversity, Competition, and Localism. The Diversity Committee of the FCC is comprised of 31 groups, none conservative, what direction will their directives go? or this one, they want to tax broadcasters at a level that is 100% of their, the broadcasters, operating costs? How can you do that? There is no money for the company, they will fail, and the Government will have control. Did you Know Lloyd is in FAVOUR of Hugo Chavez' shut down in Venezuela, of Independent broadcasters, as they got in the Government's way? HELLO?
Why don't our legislators read these bills they are ramming down our throats at break-neck speed? They don't write them, who does? or, read them, ask John Conyers? How can Bill after Bill come before Congress that are so long? thousand plus pages? and none of our legislators have read them, or know what's in them?? Where do they come from? Is there a thought in you on this? If Congress isn't reading them, or writing them, or reviewing them, who is? is this plausible deniability? FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS? I thought they were there to vote on legislation, on our behalf, not for the government's.....
There are so many questions, is it time to ask the tough questions, time to care, time to find answers, and time to be heard? Not after these pending changes take place, it will be too late then........

-WHAT IS THIS CIVILIAN ARMY? BHO spoke about during the campaign, that will be of equal size, and scope as our Military?( anything like the Hitler Youth,, the Brown Shirts?, that became the backbone of Nazisms?)
or,
- WHO IS CASS SUSSTEIN? or, EZEKIEL EMMANUAL?, or JOHN HOLDREN? or, CAROL BROWNER? Don't we deserve to know? don't we need to know their politics? where they came from? and why the media isn't telling us who they are? (they are more Czars)
-ARE WE SEEING THE 1960'S RADICALS AGENDA IMPLEMENTATION? THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY (SDS), BLACK PANTHERS........

-WHY IS UNEMPLOYMENT AT 16% from some agencies, and 8.5% from BHO?

-WHO ARE THE CZARS? WHAT ARE THEIR POLITICS? WHAT AUTHORITY DO THEY HAVE? WHO PAYS THEIR WAY? HOW BIG IS THEIR STAFF? WHO APPROVED THEM, and THEIR JOB? WHY ARE 50% OF NORMAL ADMINISTRATIONS' POSITIONS NOT FILLED BY THIS ONE? WHO IS WRITING THE LEGISLATION BEING DISCUSSED/PASSED? WHY MUST ALL THESE HUGE, ONE THOUSAND PAGE PLUS, BILLS BE PASSED SO FAST? what you don't know won't hurt you, until it hurts.....

Can't read the bill if it is being pushed through. The stimulus bill has multiple pages of non-economic-stimulating expenditures in it. who knew, who read the bill, it passed so fast, we are just NOW learning the scope of it!!!!!!!! Cap and Trade, what is in there? What form will the final ObamaCare Bill Take?

_RAIN_

Enuff for now. Time to re-load. The fun part of this is, there is so much ammunition. So much secrecy. so much anti-American intrigue. Hopefully more that only me, the GSM, is looking!! What DO YOU HEAR? THINK? ARE WE ON THE RIGHT PATH? LET ME HEAR FROM YOU AT:

God Bless This, the Lord's Gift, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, and may we, the citizens, of this gift have the fortitude to stand up for all the liberties we have been granted us because of it.................Pray for the USA.........GSM

Barack's Obama-Nation


Want to Know what the President reads?

This book is Called" the Post American World"
written by a "fellow muslin"...Fareed Zakara.

America educated author, hints that we, the USA, are declining, as much as Mega-giant economies India, and China, are going to surpass US in growth.

If we accept the status quo, we will continue the fall. The status quo is More taxes, More government control, More redistribution of wealth, and More cradle to grave regulations, that manipulates the people, our lives, and our economic direction; and, less Equal taxation, Equal representation, and more unEqual Legislation.

Our Fore-Fathers fought over ''Taxation without Representation'' , shouldn't we fight over "Legislation without Representation"?

What is the government doing? The Residential Renovation Act, from the Jimmy Carter era, in the 1970s, eventually required financial institutions to loan to individuals that COULD NOT PAY THE LOANS BACK (eliminated Red Lining, the practice of not loaning into areas, and to people, that were high risk)!!! To what result? The banks, and other financial institutions are now owned somewhat, due to the "Stimulus" and the 'Bailout" packages. This is incrementalism, I mention this word often. These low quality loans, were bundled into securities, and sold at more dollars than they had in value , ahhhh, the result is what we have now, deflation of property values, lots of foreclosures, and high unemployment. When there is no basis for valuations, this is the result, are you enjoying this Government infringement on your life, yet? Wait, it is gonna get better, if you do!!!!

THROW ENOUGH BAD STUFF ONTO OUR ECONOMIC BACK, and IT WILL BREAK..HealthCare, ReDistribution of Wealth, Stimulus I, Stimulus II, Cap and Trade, just to mention SOME of what is being pushed on us, and all unfunded.

We are on the same Slippery Slope when it comes to HealthCare, aka ObamaCare. Loss of choice, this principal, choice, Democrat support is only good when it is about abortion, the Constitutionally recognized Principle is lost in ALL other categories, like Health Insurance, Banking/ Investment, and whether Auto Industry should fail. (Speaking of the Auto Industry, how does a Union gain any ownership over these companies, when it is OUR Tax Dollar, that is Bailing the out? Unions are a small percentage of the population, but, they are a large percentage of the Campaign Contributions that Democrats get..Hmmmmmmm!!!)

Does anyone out there know where all these future Doctors are going to come from if we enact this HealthCare reform, and allow Government to control our HealthSystem? Do you thing Doctors will be attending Medical School for the Love of Humanity at the levels they do now? Money, and Earnings are critical in their thinking, yes they care, about people, but also money, and retirement enter into the equation. I think not only are there going to be fewer Doctors, and more patients, 45Million, according to the Government, the lines will grow exponentially, and the young, and the old will be restricted on what coverage they will be allowed to have, based on Rahm, and Ezekiel Emmanuel's philosophy (OBAMA Advisors, on ALL things Political) called Quality Adjusted Remaining Years, that sounds really invasive, doesn't it? Check it out.......

This Administration, is well adept at 'slight-of-hand' actions, pointing out one issue, while doing something else. Floating Trial Balloons, and pulling them back. Am I the only one amazed at how fast the media got tired of the Town Hall Meeting outrage, while they shove this issue/outrage onto the back burner?

Time to stay focused, or some big Legislation will be passed, late on a Friday Nite, while we were sleeping, like most of the recent salary increases, recently. Stand Up Americans, Stand up and Reign in the scoundrels.

Remove all Incumbents Now=R.A.I.N

post America............ the world after America..............

Dear God, What have We done?

Our Foundation

The good Lord inspired me this morning, I have to give credit, where credit is due, to do a little research on our Country, our Founding Fathers, and our Freedom. Where did these incredible men find their inspiration? What motivated them to create this Republic, and, yes, it was founded as a Republic (Legislators have aborted this term, and now refer to this Country as a Democracy, that wasn't the original intent) In parenthesis I put 'original Intent', because we now have law-makers, that exclude this phrase from consideration for our Congress-Approved Justices, a major reason why we are on the decline today, this concept of Judicial Activism, I digress. The following is the FIRST PRAYER delivered to our Congress

The first prayer in Congress

September 7th, 1774
Jacob Duche
Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia

"Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent on Thee, to Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. all this we ask In the Name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior."

I attached this from the perspective of one of the early religious leaders from that time of great trepidation, and consternation. We forget the fear these early founders MUST have felt as they challenged the greatest Military establishment on this planet, Great Britain. By demonstrating, against the King's rulings, the net result were so many incidents, The Boston Massacre, where civilians were killed by the British Soldiers, and The Boston Tea Party, where Patriots stood against Royal Tyranny by dressing as Indians, and throwing a ship's Cargo of tea into the harbor, the tax they were so outraged about was only about 5%, of the price. But, it wasn't just the amount, it was the principle 'taxation without Representation', that is the basis for their revolt.

We stand here now, at the same crossroads, a time that makes men's knees tremble, their stomachs quake, we see and hear the same type of rhetoric,

Rep Eric Massa from New York, said this recently,....
.... the voice of the people be damned, (I take some liberties with his exact words, thus, there are no quotation marks) if I (Masses)feel, that the Public Plan for National Health Care (ObamaCare) is for their (the PEOPLE) betterment, I will vote that way, regardless of how loudly the people protest, and reject this plan.....

A remanifestation of the 'Taxation without Representation' phrase, probably better stated as 'Legislation without Representation', because the version of the House Bill HR3200 that I have seen [sec441, pg203, lines 14-15], states: the tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as a tax.

I wander back, now, to where God's will is a part of the Founding Fathers basis of belief. Here is a prayer, handwritten by George Washington, that addresses the continually re-iterated position that he was NOT a Christian; but, that he was a believer (a theist) in some sort of Higher Power, not of God, or of the Bible:

“ O Most Glorious God, in Jesus Christ, my merciful and loving Father; I acknowledge and confess my guilt in the weak and imperfect performance of the duties of this day. I have called on Thee for pardon and forgiveness of my sins, but so coldly and carelessly that my prayers are become my sin, and they stand in need of pardon.”
“ I have sinned against heaven and before Thee in thought, word, and deed. I have contemned Thy majesty and holy laws. I have likewise sinned by omitting what I ought to have done and committing what I ought not. I have rebelled against the light, despising Thy mercies and judgment, and broken my vows and promise. I have neglected the better things. My iniquities are multiplied and my sins are very great. I confess them, O Lord, with shame and sorrow, detestation and loathing and desire to be vile in my own eyes as I have rendered myself vile in Thine. I humbly beseech Thee to be merciful to me in the free pardon of my sins for the sake of Thy dear Son and only Savior Jesus Christ who came to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Thou gavest Thy Son to die for me.”
[George Washington; from a 24 page authentic handwritten manuscript book dated April 21-23, 1752
William J. Johnson George Washington, the Christian (New York: The Abingdon Press, New York & Cincinnati, 1919), pp. 24-35.]

or from his adopted daughter's words, describing his credo, or motto, he lived by:

Nelly Custis-Lewis (Washington’s adopted daughter):
Is it necessary that any one should [ask], “Did General Washington avow himself to be a believer in Christianity?" As well may we question his patriotism, his heroic devotion to his country. His mottos were, "Deeds, not Words"; and, "For God and my Country."

Note in both cases I show sources, I feel that credit should be given for these words, to flank the nay-sayers. These are directly attributed to these documents, and should not, cannot, be discredited. Also, please note that both were written/transposed BEFORE the Declaration of Independence, I use these specifically because they show the foundation of believe, for this Country,and for the society at that time, prior to the Revolution was in the Bible, In Jesus, and in our God, the Lord of lords. We Cannot forsake our God, our Savior, as They ARE the source of strength for our Fathers. I will continue this dissertation on subsequent entries. We must hold fast to our principles, and to our Founders Faith, and Not wander away from THEIR truths, WHICH ARE HIS TRUTHS,.......SELAH, AMEN...............GSM
