Keeping Conservative Hope Alive

Ron Paul is Obummer's Winning Ticket

2011-12-22T13:39:00.001-08:00

Ron Paul can single handedly keep Obama in office and there is a very good chance it happens. All he has to do is run as a 3rd party candidate and America will get 4 more years of Obama and his radical, dangerously liberal ways.

Ironically, Paul’s rabid followers (and they are rabid!) would just about croak at the idea of Obama remaining in office one more day, much less another 4 years. But after Paul realizes he will not be the GOP nominee, if he refuses to support the winning candidate and unify the conservative vote and runs his own White House bid, his followers would be to blame for all of us getting 4 more years of Barack. And that would be a major Obummer.

Paul is one strange bird. On the one hand, true conservatives love his theories on government finance, taxation and regulations. He believes in small, out of the way, out of our lives government. Like the rest of us, he wants less spending, reduction of debt, small business job creation and a decrease in federal oversights.

Then ask him about defense and foreign affairs, and absolute idiocracy spews out worse than the mouth of Nancy Pelosi. Holy crap he is scary. Dangerous, naive and far from the beliefs and actions of the Founding Fathers he so vehemently tries to mimic. He would bring our enemies right to our front doors with a weaker stance than Obama’s current “please return our missing drone” is with Iran.

Bring out the Gong Show hook and tell him thanks for playing. Buh. Bye.

Sadly, Paul’s radical followers almost come across as though they would rather have Obama in office than to support a candidate they view as weaker than Paul. If he or she isn’t perfect, then I’m just not gonna cast my vote in their direction. If Obama wins, so be it. How does this even make sense? This is like a lottery winner saying, “If I can’t have the entire $40 million because I have to pay taxes, then screw it and keep it all!”

Dumb and Dumber.

What we all need to realize is two main things.

1. It’s ok for us to have variances in our conservative beliefs as long as the core values are held dear – lower taxes, less spending, strong defense, religious freedoms, sanctity of life, and smaller government.

2. Our number one goal 10 months from now is to be about getting Obama out of office and regaining control of our government.

What all of us have to understand is that we all lose if Obama wins again and nothing would be worse for our nation, our future and our bank accounts. If it takes a candidate that isn’t quite as strong on some issues as we personally had hoped to pack Obummer’s bags, then so be it. He has to go. Since John McCain isn't running this time, I think we can live with any of those who have a real chance of winning.
Paul and his followers truly control our future right now. He is loved by the radical, the naïve and the young and there are millions of them. Their clueless and isolationist ideals are an absolute real threat and it's time we get some of them back on the straight and narrow.

Ever wonder why the liberal media continues to build Paul up and not delve deep into his radical, even racial bemoanings? Think about it and it won’t take long to understand why.

Paul is their path to victory.

Obama Wins Again....If We Mess This Up

2011-08-15T18:15:00.000-07:00

Conservative, Republican, Tea Partier, whatever you call yourself.

You will blow the easiest chance in U.S. history to make Obama a 1-term President since Jimmy Carter, if you are not careful! READ THIS!

There is not one perfect conservative candidate with a REAL CHANCE to win the Presidency in 2012. Not one. But if we aren't willing to come together as one party and support whoever wins, Obama will win again.

We have to remember these vital points:

1. Our main goal is to REMOVE Obama and his liberal nutbags in control of Congress - this is job #1.
2. It will take a real politician with a big political machine behind them to defeat the Obama Chicago Machine. He is that good. Do not be fooled - despite how bad we think things are, he CAN win again.
3. We do NOT have to have the "middle" voters, or so called "moderates" in order to win. Most of them lean conservative anyway and there are more people in the U.S. who will vote this direction in 2012.
4. We also do NOT have to have the most perfect conservative candidate in American history to win.

I love Cain who is in the race but he doesn't really have a shot. I love Rubio, Ryan or Christie....but they are not in the race. Newt is done. Palin had her time. Paul has no real chance and neither did the others who have since dropped out or should. Our three REAL candidates are Romney, Perry and Bachmann.

Romney - cannot be forgiven for what he did with healthcare in his own state, BUT he has a huge political machine and has increased his aggression lately. I still think he gets beat and Obama does not fear him.

Bachmann - is the truest conservative and has all the right points (and looks!) but are we REALLY ready for a woman President? She will get torched like Palin did by the left, including most women's groups (which makes no sense). Obama does not fear her at all and probably hopes she gets the nod.

Perry - is a true politician and has a big machine to match Romney and Obama. He is not a perfect conservative by any means and has his issues, but the attacks on him regarding Texas are mostly untrue and can be easily refuted. Obama fears him. He can beat Obama.

Perry can beat Obama. Romney might beat Obama. Bachmann loses to Obama.

It's that simple.

If Perry wins the nod, he would be wise in naming Christie, Cain, Ryan, Bachmann, or Rubio, as his true conservative V.P. and set the stage for a VERY LONG GOP run of the white house for the next 8-16 years.

THIS IS WHAT WE MUST FOCUS ON PEOPLE.

If we stick to our guns in thinking we can have the perfect candidate, or we don't get behind whoever gets the GOP nod with the ultimate goal of beating the Obama machine, we are toast before the bread gets out of the bag!

Amazing Commentary by Pat Boone

2011-08-11T05:19:00.000-07:00

The President Without A Country
By Pat Boone

"We're no longer a Christian nation." - President Barack Obama, June 2009

"America has been arrogant." - President Barack Obama

"After 9/11, America didn't always live up to her ideals."- President Barack Obama

"You might say that America is a Muslim nation."- President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009

Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president. I keep wondering what country he believes he's president of.

In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale's "The Man without a Country," a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, "Damn the United States! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!"

The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: "You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country's naval vessels - under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed."

And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America.. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan's dying hours in his small stateroom - now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore - never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America, refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.

But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president - a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white - I want to ask him, "Just what country do you think you're president of?"

You surely can't be referring to the United States of America, can you? America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception! Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It's because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.

You studied law at Harvard, didn't you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago? Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark "Federalist Papers": "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers - and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation - to select and prefer Christians for their rulers"?

In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: "Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian."

Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900's that echoed and reinforced these views and intentions? Did you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a "wall of separation between church and state" was used to deny some specific religious expression - contrary to Jefferson's intent with that statement?

Or, wait a minute: were your ideas about America's Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Is that where you got the idea that "America is no longer a Christian nation"? Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that "America has been arrogant"?

Even if that's the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of "not always living up to her ideals," how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be onsidered a Muslim nation"?

Is it because there are some 2 million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians? Does that make us, by any rational definition, a "Muslim nation"?

Why are we not, then, a "Chinese nation"? A "Korean nation"? Even a "Vietnamese nation"? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you're trying to make is a religious one, why is America not "a Jewish nation"? There's actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution - and the success of our Revolution and founding - owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.

Have you stopped to think what an actual Muslim America would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran? Even in Egypt? You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Sharia law. Can't you? You do recall Muhammad's directives [Surah 9:5,73] to "break the cross" and "kill the infidel"?

It seems increasingly and painfully obvious that you are more influenced by your upbringing and questionable education than most suspected. If you consider yourself the president of a people who are "no longer Christian," who have "failed to live up to our ideals," who "have been arrogant," and might even be "considered Muslim" - you are president of a country most Americans don't recognize.

Could it be you are a president without a country?

All who love their Christian Beliefs and their Country, Forward to all in your address book.

Obummer Destroys U.S. Credit Among Other Things

2011-08-05T19:21:00.000-07:00

Since 1917 the United States has had a AAA credit rating. Just 15 minutes ago we all learned that President Obama has just ruined that too.

Our credit rating survived WWI, WWII, Korean War, The Depression, Cold War, Gas Crisis, Jimmy Carter, 9/11, Iraq War, Hurricanes, but it could not survive this one President.

This disaster of a Presidency is getting worse by the day. The savior he and his followers claimed he would be hasn't saved one damn thing in nearly 3 years. He and his congressional partners have no clue what the heck they are doing. Their policies are flawed. They are spending us into oblivion. And, the government is growing to unbelievable proportions.

Can you even imagine what would be happening had we not won the election in 2010?????!!!!!

I am speechless right now. He is way worse than we all thought he would be.

We better pray "change" gets booted the hell out of Washington in 2012 or we are headed straight there faster than we already were...

Finally We Can Get Serious About Booting Obama

2011-07-02T07:17:00.001-07:00

After nearly 3 years of failed policies, increasing America's debt to historical proportions and blaming Bush for everything, even many Liberals are starting to agree that Obama is making Jimmy Carter look more like Reagan every day.

Could it be any worse?

Yes. If he wins again in 2012.

No matter what, the Conservatives need to understand this one thing. There are more conservatives than liberals and most moderates lean more to the right than the left.

We can win this standing our grounds and demanding a true conservative candidate!

It's not hard. We need someone that will focus on the economy, national security and moral values.

But for most, the economy tops the list. Less spending and less taxes means more jobs. And more jobs, means more workers. And more workers means more spending. More spending means more jobs and better economy.

Romney is too "perfect" for my taste and his Romnicare debacle in his home state will fry him.
Palin would get shredded again.
Bachman sounds great but are we really ready for a woman President?
Cain is perfect, but has no money and his lack of political experience will get him shredded.

I am telling you now what I think it could be.

Rick Perry and Sarah Palin in 2012.

Perry has a slam dunk win and Palin has the extra votes he would need.

Get ready. You might not like him and sometimes I don't either....but who else can take the Obama train down?

Candidates Enter, Some Leave - Who Will It Be?

2011-05-16T18:08:00.000-07:00

2012 is not that far away and the Presidential battle will begin in months.

Huckabee has stepped out, Palin isn't saying anything, Gingritch is in, Romney remains in, Trump decided to stay away and Ron Paul still thinks he's the next winner.

Fewer times in history has a sitting President been as vulnerable to a smashing defeat as Obama is now and will likely be this time next year. It is imperative that we get this right.

Personally, here are my thoughts:

Huckabee is just too nice. Palin is too much trouble. Romney ended his chances with Romneycare. And, Paul is too radical.

That leaves the likes of Paul Ryan (who hasn't entered), Newt Gingritch (who might have too much baggage), Chris Christie (who hasn't entered) and Herman Cain (who some call a racist -and he's black! go figure...).

Our nation needs a true leader. One who can take Obama head on, has some personality, spunk and experience in the real world.

Right now, I'm really liking Herman Cain and Chris Christie. Paul Ryan would be great as well.

Bottom line, Romney, Huckabee, Palin and maybe even Newt had their day in the son. It's time for a new conservative team.

For now, count me voting for Cain or Christie.

Whatever we do, Obama has to go!!!

If Obama Wasn't President...

2011-04-24T10:22:00.000-07:00

If anyone other than Obama was President now he would be on rail headed out of DC and back whence he came from.

Gas prices are higher than ever!
Our national debt is higher than ever! Obama alone has added more in 3 years than Bush did in 8!
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue!
America sits idly by while people seeking freedom around the world plead for our help!
Taxes are highest than ever, yet more than half don't pay anything and 5% pay MOST of it!
Unemployment remains steady at around 9% - highest in decades!
American dollar has lost even more value!
Stock market hasn't done much of anything!
Border murders and violence have increased!
Terrorists are more at work than before!
America looks weak in the eyes of the world!

His approval numbers are down, his methods are now being questioned, his policies are failing, and yes, like I said 4 nearly 4 years ago, some even now question his birthright to lead our nation.

Yet Obama's hold on America continues.

After all, this is all still Bush's fault isn't it???

2012 cannot get here fast enough. This man is even worse than I thought he would be...

America Speaks - Obama Stopped In His Tracks

2010-11-03T00:01:00.000-07:00

Hyper-liberalism has run its course and the American people have put it where it belongs. On the path to nowhere.

Millions of voters made it clear in historic proportions in every state. We want less spending, more jobs in the private sector, less taxes, Obamacare repealed, better national security and smaller government.

By winning the House, nearly all Governor races and a de facto win in the Senate with more seats, Obama will now have to decide.

Will Obama remain an idealist or will he be more pragmatic like Clinton did in 1994 and reinvent himself? Either way, conservatism wins.

It was a good, good night for our amazing country. The stage is set for 2012.

Peace out.

America Votes - Conservatives Arise

2010-11-02T14:12:00.000-07:00

Two years ago America was ready to believe the Obama hype. They gave him the votes he needed and America had it's first African American President.

What an amazing accomplishment. History was made....but as many like myself warned, the future of our country was immediately in peril of turning more liberal than ever before. Socialism was on the march.

Tonight it is likely to die in its tracks. America has woken up.

Barack Obama has been a complete failure.

He has added more than $3 trillion to our debt in just 24 months.
Unemployment remains at 10%.
Government has taken over banks, the auto industry and our healthcare.
Our enemies laugh and mock us like never before.
Terrorism is on the uprise again.
The economy is unraveling.
He has not been any different than any before him.
His celebrity lifestyle as the President is beyond comprehension.

America speaks in a matter of hours.

You Vote. We All Decide.

Go America!

Conservatives Arise! Time to Un-change America

2010-10-29T19:32:00.000-07:00

Ok, so the Obama thing was a total failure. And boy has he "changed" America. I'll spare everyone the list...

Thankfully, in a matter of days America gets the opportunity to right the ship. The GOP is likely to win big time seats in the House and Senate while means one thing.

Get it right this time Congress!

America wants good health care, lower taxes, less spending, strong defense and lower unemployment.

We CAN do it.

Obama just wasn't gonna.

Go America!

Sad But True Photo Comparison

While We Remember 911 Obama Opens to Doors for Islam

2010-09-11T07:16:00.001-07:00

Islamic terrorist want to kill each and every one of us and 911 wasn't the end of their attempts to do so, that we can know for sure.

President Obama seems to care less.

Freedom of religion is his new calling card. Really? The one time he actually uses the word "freedom" is in his defense of standing up for Islamic leaders wanting to build a mosque on the World Trade Center corner.

A liberal doesn't like freedom. Rather, they like control and making things even socially. And they certainly don't like Christianity.

Where is Obama demanding we are allowed to build a church near Mecca? Where is Obama leading the charge that Bibles should be allowed in Egypt, Iran, Pakistan or China? Where is Obama calling out Islamic terrorist and having them executed for their murders?

What ever happened to his promise of hunting down and finding Ben Laden?

Do I hate the man? No, but I can say I strongly dislike the man and the person that he is. Do I pray for him? Yes, I pray for God to protect us from his ideology and agendas and I pray for his successor. But I do NOT pray for his success.

Obama is a fraud. He is more of an embarrassment than even I was saying he would be. He embraces everything that is the opposite of what this nation was founded on and refuses to defend or protect us.

Thank God his days in power appear to be coming to an end.

Health Insurance Rates Starting to Accelerate

2010-09-09T06:12:00.001-07:00

Can we say "told you so"?

This is just the beginning sadly. The new healthcare reform bill which started taking effect this month will drastically change America as we know it.

We can only pray we regain control of the House and Senate in November and can begin the process of stemming the tide. But healthcare will never be the same.

Obama/Dems Punching Their Ticket Out

2010-09-05T20:32:00.000-07:00

Well that didn't last long.

America gave the Left their chance, and America is revolting over that decision. November looks promising for us conservatives. We can only pray we win enough seats to stop the bleeding and begin the repairs to our incredible nation.

Why is Obama already such a failure? The list is long and the list is close to the one we all said it would be. Here are just a few reasons why he and his team of liberals will be headed out soon.

1. Failure to stand up for and defend America
2. Siding with Mexico over illegal immigration causes vs siding with the border states.
3. Embracing our enemies (the Muslim world) and attacking our friends (Israel)
4. Failure to do anything to North Korea or Iran
5. Economic woes getting worse
6. Breaking untold promises and being no different than those before him
7. Increased moral decay by supporting those whose lifestyles are contrary to the majority in the U.S.
8. The healthcare bill
9. Blaming Bush - two years later and NEVER STOPPING!
10. Arrogance
11. The Gulf Oil Spill
12. Government spending totally out of control
13. Supporting abortion like no other President in history
14. Vacations all over the freaking place during crisis
15. Being a celebrity President instead of a world leader
16. Bowing to other world leaders
17. Failure to "drain the swamp" in Congress and adding more unethical acts to it instead
18. Government handouts gallore
19. Trying to control banks, education, healthcare, and wall street
20. Supporting the Mosque near the WTC site
21. Failure to stop the wars.
22. Failure to get the trials for 9/11 done

His biggest failure? Ignoring the MAJORITY completely. Read the polls you dolt. People don't want the America you are creating. They want the America you promised.

It will get worse before it gets better but he and his left leaning peeps are punching their tickets out.

Check Out Our Wonderful Leader's Schedule

2010-05-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

Posted by Laura Ingraham
Obama's schedule of late reads like a self-indulgent narcissist's dream come true:

April 23: Four days after the oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, Barack and Michelle begin their golf-filled vacation in North Carolina.

April 26: Even after it is clear that thousands upon thousands of gallons of crude are spilling into the Gulf daily, Obama pays no real attention to the crisis. He's busy entertaining the New York Yankees at the White House.

April 29: Tired of campaigning for legislation in stops across the country, Obama stays in Washington, D.C.-and attends a DNC fundraiser at a private residence.

May 1: To freshen up before his photo op in the Gulf area the next day, Obama delivers a commencement address at the University of Michigan and then yuks it up with celebs at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

May 17: Obama hosts UConn's women's basketball team at the White House.

May 19: 30 days after the oil rig explosion, Obama enjoys the company of New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez as singer Beyonce provides a live performance at the White House State Dinner.

May 25: 36 days into the spill and after repeatedly stating that he would not rest until the leak was stopped, Obama attends a $20,000/plate dinner for Sen. Barbara Boxer in California. At the same time, a recently-taped sports interview with TNT's Marv Albert airs during an NBA playoff game.

And the whirlwind of fun is hardly over! His Memorial Day weekend vacation plans were changed to squeeze in another Gulf photo op this Friday. And, after he skips out on the usual Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Barack will return to D.C. in time to host a concert with Paul McCartney at the White House.

With such a tight schedule, Obama hasn't had time to tend to a few important real-world matters. For example:

- Meeting with Arizona's governor about the illegal immigration crisis she's being forced to tackle almost singlehandedly

- Reading the Arizona law he continues to lambaste

- Doing anything to stop the oil spill other than demonize BP and reiterate that his boot is on the company's throat

To tamp down concern over its lazy response, the administration has leaked word that Obama-wait for it!-cursed as he vented his frustration. The president's order to "plug the damn hole" certainly proves his seriousness! With just enough luck his heavy lifting may be over soon and he can get back to plugging events into his social calendar.

Obama Rant 1

2010-05-26T11:05:00.000-07:00

National debt is soaring, unemployment has risen to 10%, terrorist threats have increased, America has become a mockery worldwide, violence is on the rise along the Mexican border, we have a huge oil spill Obama has done nothing about, the stock market remains down, and the government now controls healthcare, the banks, Wall Street, the auto industry, student loan market, and on the way to controlling more.

Is this the Hope and Change America voted for in the fall of 2008?

Yep - it sure is.

It will take years to clean up this mess.

Thankfully America is waking up, it appears. Only 24% say Obama is doing a good job as President. The lowest ratings for a President at this point in a new term in our history.

He is a failure. And I told you he would be.

Funny how few are defending him these days.

Please, November get here faster so we can slow this destruction down and begin the long process of booting his rear out of office and restoring our pride, defense system, healthcare system, and financial standing in the world.

He Obama, Why Don't You Fix the 'Damn' Hole?

2010-05-24T11:17:00.000-07:00

Is it just me, or does anyone else out there notice the lack of coverage Obama is getting regarding his total disregard for the huge oil spill in the Gulf?

He has done NOTHING. He hasn't even bothered to visit the site. What a joke.

History lesson - President Bush actually showed up on site just days after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Though help was needed quicker, it did arrive. Bush was bashed for a year after words for doing nothing.

This oil spill, created by BP a HUGE supporter of Obama during the election, is going to be worse than the Exxon spill in the late 80s. Animals will be killed by thousands and people's livelihoods will be shattered. Obama wields the power and resources of the largest government in the world, yet he has done nothing but toot his horn from DC, saying stupid comments like he did yesterday...

"Fix the damn hole!" he said.

Well, at least he CAN get mad.

Geez...give me a break.

Instead Obama is more worried about defeating the new Arizona illegal immigration law which he has not even read himself (a whopping 10 pages worth) and he is spending time trying to get Don't Ask, Don't Tell repealed.

Nice job Obama. Glad to know you care...what a fraud.

You've been duped America.

Is This Really Happening?

2010-04-15T18:06:00.000-07:00

In just a matter of 18 months one man and his regime has nearly completely dismantled America as we know it. President Obama is even more of a disaster than many of us predicted and sadly he still has time to do even more damage.

The list of the things he has done and said in complete contrast to the America most of us believe in is growing by the day. He is such a wuss to the rest of the world and he is spending is into oblivion. God help us...

Surely the clock is ticking on his grip as most of us believe November will bring a conservative revival thanks to the Tea Party and the real conservatives in the GOP.

But man, can we be more ashamed of one we call our President?

I'd vote for Bill or even Hillary Clinton and gladly support either of them over Obama.

Bill's Passage Can Mean Conservative Control For Years

Hope & Change is Turning Into Just Change

2010-03-22T20:09:00.001-07:00

It is no secret after more than a year in office that President Obama is no different than all of those before him when it comes to breaking campaign promises and pursing his own agenda. He is a liar like most before him and he could careless what the majority think.

The problem is he makes Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter look like the founders of the conservative movement. Barack Obama is spending us into oblivion and it appears he will stop at nothing until every drop of ink is spent at the mints.

Yea, I know. We are the morons that fell for his "Hope & Change" campaign spin when in reality all he had in mind was "change". And boy, do we have change.

I fear for the society, values and debt Quinn, Chloe and Sidney will face when they are sitting here reading this entry in 25-30 years. Will America remain? Will "conservatism" be dead and gone? Will this be the time in which they will look back on as the date America turned into all the rest?

We have to work and pray to save our land between now and November. We can't stop him, but we can slow him down.

He now runs the banks, he runs student loans, he runs the auto industry, he runs the housing market, he controls the insurance companies, and he wants to run immigration and Wall Street next. Anyone out there think of some countries that run everything? You laugh, but are we any different now?

Let's just hope we can return the change.

Brown Wins! Sets the Tone for November!

2010-01-19T19:01:00.000-08:00

Take that to dinner OBAMA! Conservative values rule the day even in one of the most liberal states in the nation!

The come to Jesus party will be in November!

Scott Brown for President 2012!

New Year Brings New Hopes for Conservatives

2010-01-10T08:34:00.000-08:00

Despite the fact that Obama and his team of liberals running Congress right now are Hell-bent on ruining this country as quickly as possible, the future outlook of the conservative movement in the U.S. looks brighter than it has in years.

The Congressional careers of Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Dodd and other Democratic leaders are on shaky ground as they continue to push their high spending, liberal agendas on an American public that is clearly opposed to such actions. Though Obama won the election - let's all be honest here - many independent, moderates and even some conservatives tired of Bush and his ways voted for Obama out of hope he would truly be different.

They have been fooled and now they are ticked.

Obama has turned into to be nothing but a big spending, extreme-liberal, powerless world leader. His fame and honeymoon are coming to an end quicker than any other President in history. Polls are showing him with less than a 50% approval rating, which is the lowest ever after one year of a new President. Even President Carter was doing better in the polls after a year and everyone knows he was a moron.

But here is why we can expect real hope and change to happen in the November elections:

- The Libs continual Blame-Bush script is getting old and America isn't buying it anymore
- It's the economy stupid - as it fails to recover Obama will pay the price (by the way Congress has been controlled by the libs since 2006 so it was THIER policies during Bush's reign that started all of this, not his)
- Al Gore and his Global Warming scheme has become a total joke and most see it as as Democratic created devise
- Terrorism is on the rise again (4 events in 6 months after nothing for years with Bush in office) - Obama is coming across as a complete wuss on the world stage
- Obama's actions with GITMO prisoners is already back-firing on the U.S.
- Obama continues to act with ignorance and arrogance thinking he can control evil minded world leaders and has accomlished nothing with any of them since being elected
- Democractic leaders are resigning ahead of elections to save face
- Obama out righted lied about the healthcare bill being debated on C-Span and now refuses to do allow what he promised
- the Democratic party is ignoring the polls that clearly show most Americans are not happy with their spending and policies
- the Democractic party is forcing healthcare reform down our throats while locking opposition out of the negotiations and having secret meetings behind closed doors

So much for "hope and change we can believe in". Obama is a complete fraud. He is no different than all the others before him and his days in office are already numbered just one year into America's love affair with him.

All we have to do now is survive until November and pray Obama doesn't completely destroy our nation in the mean time...

2010 Cannot Get Here Fast Enough

2009-11-29T09:40:00.001-08:00

In less than a year from now there SHOULD be a power shift in Congress. If polls are accurate and the sentiment expressed by the majority is real, Barack Obama will become a lame duck President next November.

I can hardly wait.

In the mean time we have to pray and work our tails off to save the few things this liberal Administration has yet to destroy. And I do me FEW remaining things.

He truly wants the U.S. Government to control and oversee every single aspect of our lives, from banks, to health care, to the hours kids are in school, and much more, all the while spending our great, grandchildren's financial future in the tune of trillions and trillions in special interest, liberal group spending. I spent an evening in the Cowboys Stadium last night watching a college game in a $400,000a year luxury suite. It was owned by a special interest business backed by Obama dollars I later learned. Must be nice to get one of those "government contracts" where they allow you to sign a $6,000,000 agreement for entertaining "guests". Sad truth is the gentlemen that owned the business are in a minority group and other business owners like me are left in the dark fending for ourselves. When is my contract coming in?

I said this would be the case with Obama back in 2008. Few listened and most were simply caught up in his "star-like" presence and attraction. Unfortunately in a matter of a year since the days we elected this man, our nation has taken a nose dive into moral depravity and insane censure and control.

God help us.

In 2010, we can help ourselves by actually using our brains next time when we vote and put people in power that can stop the spending, stop the socialistic agendas and keep liberal special interests groups at bay.

Until then, peace out.

I Don't Like Our President

2009-10-03T20:13:00.000-07:00

It’s no secret that I don’t like our new President. I don’t like his views on life, his values, his beliefs on the role of government, nor his attitude.

And I’m not alone.

As an American I certainly respect his position and the pressure he is under on a daily basis. But just because I believe all should respect the position does not mean I have to respect the man. And frankly I don’t.

But let me give some specifics.

1. Obama has too many crooked friends both in his past and in his present and for that to go unnoticed and unquestioned by most media outlets is just unreal.

2. He believes more strongly in the killing of babies via abortion than even most liberals do and even once suggested he would wish his daughter have an abortion if she got pregnant.

3. Obama does not even take care of us own family leaving his aunt and half brother poor and broke yet tells us we are the ones that need to help our neighbors.

4. He is spending money like a mad man at a rate that will cause my children’s, children to pay for years to come and wants to raise our taxes even more!

5. He calls himself a Christian, yet embraces values and beliefs that totally contradict the word of God and sadly many Christians choose to put their politics ahead of their faith and support him.

6. He does not have the experience to be the leader of the free world!

7. He has done little to demonstrate he can truly lead serving only 1.5 years as a Senator with little to show in that span.

8. He is arrogant and comes across as an elitist, who deserves anything and everything he desires and this attitude makes him think everyone around the world will bow to his charm, except of course those in the Olympic committee.

9. Obama keeps apologizing for America and continues to push to be friend idiots around the world who could careless about America and only want to harm or kill us.

10. Obama wants to reduce our defense systems which will reduce the intimidation factor that has protected us for decades around the world.

11. He rarely speaks about the freedom or democracy because he does not believe in it even though it is only because of that system that he is who he is.

12. He basically hates free enterprise and small business owners like me and certainly doesn't want any of us having the kind of money he himself enjoys - millions.

13. Finally, let's be honest - he won the election because: the GOP was clueless in naming McCain, Obama is a GREAT speaker, he had the support of ACORN and their highly questionable voting practices, and he used the color of skin to gain an advantage. If he had looked like Shrek he would have won with all of that behind him!

Granted though for the most part I supported President Bush. He made some mistakes too. He failed to find Bin Laden. He caved in to the Libs and spent too much money, and some of his objectives didn't pan out. But he didn't have questionable friends and associates, he protected the unborn, he was more than experienced, he loved Amerca, stood for freedom all over the world, stood up to our enemies, kept our taxes down and certainly never had a list like the one Obama has above.

Sorry people but we are headed down a very scary road in many ways - financially, socially and morally and I called it months ago when I begged America to not be fooled by good speeches.

Obama is not a man I respect, nor like. Report me. I am sure he would want to know.

Gun Owners Beware - Obama Wants to Control That Too

2009-10-03T07:07:00.000-07:00

GUN CONFISCATION IS BEGINNING--SENATE BILL SB-2099

HR45 Gun Owners Watch Out (from an email sent to me - confirmed on snopes)

Concerning the Blair-Holt20proposed legislation: Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.

In November, our president promised he was not going after our Second Amendment rights. This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate voting on it at all. The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage,

http://www.senate.gov/ You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099.

You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text<http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text

Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply. It has started. Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009. Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar. To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless: It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a current Driver's License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing - Each update change of ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick20of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.

This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.

This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not. If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me. HR 45 only makes me/us less safe.

Please...send this out to EVERYONE in the USA , whether you support the Right to Bear Arms or not. YOUR rights are next. Government is taking away our right to choose, as well as the right to defend ourselves from intruders.

CALL YOUR SENATOR!

Time to Rant

2009-09-15T07:25:00.000-07:00

So many things, so little time. Yet, still I shall rant.

1. House to vote on Wilson reprimand. Seriously? These are the same leaders that just 2 years ago AS A GROUP Booed the sitting President, Mr. Bush. Now, we have ONE senator that yells "you lie!" during Obama's speech (which he was) and now he must apologize again? If the shoe was on the other foot, oh my. See my post yesterday for actual video reminder of our joyous, liberal leaders acting like fools.

2. Historic Protest in DC gets little, if any, coverage. Statisticians are not exactly sure how many, but most agree that maybe 1,000,000 or more marched on DC this weekend in protest of our Administration's current spending spree and their attempts to take over health care. Amazing, but just look at the photos. Tell me what kind of coverage this would have received if this was the other side in protest of anything. Heck, if 1,000,000 had marched to save chickens it would have been bigger news.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=109628

3. ACORN - need I say more? This organization finally gets to boot from Congress, AFTER they fraudulently helped Obama gain the Presidency. What a total scam this group has been for years. Poor people telling poor people how to cheat, lie, steal and bribe. Do some research and you will find it is ACORN that played the biggest role in the housing market crash which started our economic turmoil we enjoy every single day now.

4. Obama calls Kayne West "jackass". So, the leader of the free world finds it necessary to call out a celebrity, yet the DEMS want Wilson to basically be flogged for calling Obama a liar. If you ask me, they are both "flyin', talkin' donkeys."

5. Illegals WILL get health coverage one way or the other. One day after misleading America publicly, Obama made sure an amendment was added to the health care bills being considered that no illegals would get coverage. It wasn't in there at the time Wilson called him out about it. Go figure. Illegals WILL get coverage either way because the Supreme Court will declare it is illegal for hospitals to turn away illegals just like the SC of California did recently.

6. Obama Camp Says DC Protesters are out of touch with most Americans. Are they really this stupid? If there were over 1,000,000 actually there, how many do they represent like me that could not make it? Polls clearly indicate Americans are regretting electing this man and his team.

7. Since when did America leadership involve CZARS? LOL. This is about the most stupid thing yet. To me it is just another way to expand government and give undeserving FOOs (Friends of Obama) high paying jobs. How many will end up with tax issues or character flaws is still TBD but the list grows weekly. Next thing you know Obama is going to start appointing straight emperors or autocrats. Little fact - two countries known for big government and the persecution of Christians were Russia and the Roman Empire. Both heavily used the term CZARS.

8. Does he do anything but talk? Is it just me or does Obama give a freaking speech every freaking day and that is about all he does? I mean, geez I can't turn the TV on without him talking to me. How about we deal with two wars, healthcare, terrorism, the economy, ACORN, and the miriad of other things he promised his voters he would "change".

Thank God 2010 elections are getting close. Hopefully, we will have a little piece of the old America we know and love left to rebuild on.

Be active people. Time is at hand. Peace out.

A Letter from Kay Bailey About Health Reform

2009-09-13T07:40:00.001-07:00

Dear Friend:

Thank you for contacting me about health care reform legislation. I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Texans are particularly aware of the dire need for reform. Our state has 6 million uninsured residents, the highest percentage of uninsured in the nation. This number poses a huge challenge for our health care workers, hospitals, taxpayers, and many working individuals and families that cannot afford the health care coverage they need. In fact, Families USA reported that in 2005, health insurance premiums for Texas families with insurance included an extra $1,551 due to the cost of care for the uninsured. We must take care not to undermine what should be the foundation of health care in America – patient choice, affordable coverage, and the highest quality of care.

At this time, several bills are being considered by Congress that would make dramatic changes to your ability to access medical services and obtain health insurance. I do not serve on either of the Senate committees that have jurisdiction over health care reform legislation. One of the most troublesome aspects of the legislation being considered is the massive government expansion it would enact. I strongly oppose a government-run option and believe current government-managed programs such as Medicare and Medicaid make a case against this proposal. Billions of taxpayer dollars are wasted on fraud and abuse in Medicare every year, and the program will be insolvent by 2017. Furthermore, 40 percent of physicians turn away Medicaid patients because the system is poorly administered, resulting in reduced choices and access to care for beneficiaries. I believe a government-run option will inevitably lead to a single-payer system in which private insurance providers are crowded out of the market and care is rationed to Americans. I would not want my family to be covered by this government plan, and therefore I do not find it acceptable for other American families and individuals.

After hearing from constituents over the last several months, some members of Congress have now learned that using the term “government plan” elicits a strong negative response from voters, so they have now latched onto a new way to describe the same thing: a co-op. Texans should not be confused by this new packaging of the same idea. The co-op is a back door to a government takeover of our health care. The co-op would be started with federal funds, and it remains unclear whether taxpayer dollars would be used if the co-ops began to fail. The Administration has tried to bail out the banking, housing, and auto industry; would these co-ops be next?

Furthermore, I am worried about the effect these health care proposals will have on small businesses and individuals during an economic downturn. Employers may have to pay a tax penalty despite the fact they already offer insurance to their employees, and the most recent proposal from the Senate includes a tax of up to $3,800 a year for those individuals who do not purchase health insurance, something the President opposed when he was campaigning for office.

The large proposed cuts of federal reimbursements to hospitals are also of particular concern. Hospitals are required to provide millions of dollars in uncompensated care to uninsured residents. Our rural hospitals, which serve a low number of patients, operate with little to no profit margin. Reducing these hospitals’ badly needed federal reimbursements could result in reduced services, or even worse, the closure of entire facilities. Additionally, to keep their doors open, hospitals may be forced to pass these cuts to patients with private insurance, resulting in even higher premiums and driving up health care costs further in Texas.

The proposals being put forward will reduce patient choices, drive insurance companies out of business and have minimal impact on the uninsured population. Further, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly stated that both House and Senate bills will not bend the curve on cost growth over the long term.

Reform must provide an opportunity for everyone who wants health insurance to obtain it. The insurance market must be one in which competition is encouraged between insurance providers based on transparency and value, making health insurance a buyer’s market in which patients have affordable choices and know what plans cost and offer. I am a cosponsor of the Health Care Freedom Plan that would provide a $2,000 voucher for individuals and $5,000 voucher for families to purchase health insurance on the private market. Increasing the number of insured will increase competition in the market place and bring down costs. This bill ensures individuals receive the same tax benefits that businesses receive for health insurance coverage, allows individuals to keep their insurance policy, and lets them keep the doctors they trust even if they change jobs. By enacting these reforms, and by simultaneously containing skyrocketing costs through payment reform, prevention initiatives, and the provision of adequate care for those with chronic conditions, we could achieve quality health care reform.

You are among thousands of concerned Texans who have written to express their views on this topic. As the debate on health care reform continues, I encourage you to express your concerns to members of Congress, particularly those who have not publicly taken a stance on the dangerous consequences of the proposals put forth. You may be assured that as health care reform legislation comes for consideration before the full Senate, I will keep your views in mind.

I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you will contact me on any issue that is important to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator

Amatuer Hour Continues - 8 Months Later

2009-09-07T07:56:00.000-07:00

UPDATED - Obama's Administration is already laughable and he has barely been in office 8 months. Just look at the things that Obama has done, the events that have occured, and the list of candidates for his administration and the issues associated with them.

You are who you know...

Obama Healthcare Nominee, Tom Daschle, pulls name from hat because of discovered tax issues
Obama Secretary of Commerce Nominee, Bill Richardson, pulls name from hat after fraud investigation revealed.
Obama Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, Fails to Pay Taxes but still gets voted in to lead our economy
Obama Set to Close Gitmo, Putting Terrorists on American Soil with Full Rights
Obama's First TV Interview with NBC, ABC, CBS or FOX? No, try Al-Arabiya TV!
Obama Re-Enacts Law That Will Fund More Abortions

Obama 2nd Secretary of Commerce, Judd Gregg, pulls name from hat after reviewing "$800b Stimulus" bill
Obama Performance Czar Nominee, Killefer, pulls name from hat after because of tax issues
Obama's Congress passes law that says House and Senate must allow 48 hours before passing a new bill....3 days later they pass record spending bill allowing less than 24 hours for Congress/Public to review it.
Obama Green Czar, Van Jones, resigns after it comes out he believes 9/11 was an inside job!
Obama Whitehouse enacts "turn in your neighbor for critical comments via email" campaign, weeks later removes it quietly.

We will have to keep an eye on the Czars, his other associates and other appointees he has left!

This is going to be a long for years. But, thankfully he is setting the stage for an easy GOP win in less than 4 years.

Brady Speers voted 'No' in the poll! What's your opinion?
Brady voted in the Obama School Address Response Poll along with over 49,665 other people.

Should President Obama be allowed to address the nation's school children without a response from the opposition?
- Yes
- No
- I don't care

Yesterday at 11:33am · Comment · Like / Unlike · Take this Poll · See Other Polls

Brady Speers - only AFTER all parents are able to read the text of his comments first. He has too much power to be given free reign into the minds of our children without accountability.

Roy Hayhurst - Agreed!

Meredith Clayton Allen -Would you have taken the same position if Bush wanted to speak to schoolchildren? Just curious.

Bunky McMahon - We wouldn't have had to worry if President Bush had wanted to do the same thing. At least we know he is an American citizen, and not trying to socalize our country.

Brady Speers -I don't think anyone without a parents consent in tht powerful of a position should have unbridled access to my childs head. BUT no, I would not be as concerned with Bush or Clinton for that matter. Gore, Michael Moore and Obama are on the same wavelength for me and all would get a big fat no from me. Just being honest.

Clayton Allen - I'm fine with honest. I was just wondering. Not asking if you'd be as concerned. I get that you wouldn't be, and that's a valid position. And I'm sure you acknowledge that there are others who would have been more concerned with a Bush speech than an Obama one. And that's a valid position, regardless of whether people want to admit it or not... Read More. My shock through this current brouhaha is that there is any objection to the President speaking to schoolchildren. He IS the President. His speeches--even to schoolchildren--shouldn't have to be vetted by us first. I have trouble believing that there is really an honest to goodness concern among detractors here that Obama is going to say something horrific to our kids. I mean, really? What is it that he is going to say that is going to ruin our children forever? What is the feared agenda with this speech? And why is it insufficient to say, as a parent,

Meredith Clayton Allen - [Ran out of room!] Cont'd .... "I will let my child hear these ideas, and then I will explain to my child why I do or do not agree with those ideas. And while I'm at it, I'll try to explain the benefit and the basis for the opposing opinion, b/c doing so: (A) helps my child understand the issue better; (B) helps my child become a more well informed and well-rounded individual; (C) helps my child formulate their own opinions on the issue; or even (D) helps my child formulate better arguments that align with mine so they can go out there and try to convert more people to my way of thinking"? The fact that an honest disagreement and difference of opinion on politics, policy, or even something as taboo as religion has become impossible to have in this country scares me to death.

Brady Speers - Good thoughts for real and for the most part I agree. It does provide a great oppty for discussion and such. But I have studied Obama in great detail. He has a very scarry agenda and value system - more radical than any before him and more extreme than any President with his kind of power in our history. Now, you won't hear or see that in mainstream media, because Obama is their man. They love the guy. Why wouldn't they? He supports all things that go against our historical, conservative, Christian value system (and I do mean ALL). This man has surrounded his entire life with anti-American, racist, anti-freedom believing people so I think he deserves being watched more carefully than others like Bush, Clinton and the likes.

You also have to consider age in this matter. Certainly, a high schooler is more able to logically process and think through matters more than a 7 year old. But things said to a 7 year old can stick forever, especially if said by one revered as high as God himself like our President is. It is a parents role to GUIDE and LEAD our children into the ... Read Morevalue systems and belief systems we deem as appropriate. It is a careful line to walk though between letting them choose their own paths and pointing them to them one we know is best. But to just give kids free reign to “find their own way” is what leads many kids down very dangerous roads. They are CHILDREN which means they need a guide, not just a listener. I am very grateful my parents let me think for myself but still provided boundaries and held me to certain expectations. I.E. As long as you live here, you WILL go to church and you WILL act morally, etc.

This is why I still see it as so important for a parent to know who our leaders REALLY ARE and stand up against them when they act out of line or try and push their way into our lives. He works for you and me, not us working for him. Yes, he is the President, but he is OUR President – we the people – and he is supposed to represent our thinking and so far this man hasn’t which is why his poll numbers are already well below 50% nation wide in just 8 short months. Ok, I am done!

Dawn Moriarty Funderburk - Hey-thanks for the heads up on the obama speech in schools. I had no idea until I read it on your FB and now I feel so much more informed. I have called the schools and talked with my boys' teachers and they are not showing it in our classes. Thanks again!
Kristi Price Loy - Brady, do you know if there's a way to find out which schools are actually going to show it and have these activities?

Scott McMahon - Sorry to but in, but it is my understanding that all public schools are going to view the emperor's speach.

Kristi Price Loy - Hmmmm... is it too late to send my kids to private school? :-)

Becky Speers Jensen - wow....amazing! Point of View with Kirby Anderson on KVTT was talking about having Government Health Clinics in all Public High Schools. This would allow students to get healthcare at school. Planned Parenthood is who will be in charge of health exams for teenage girls and sex ed......what is our country becoming???? Crazy!! People need to educate themselves and this Health Care Bill. Pg. 99 is where the details of this school clinic is.

Kristi Price Loy - wonderful!
Becky Speers Jensen - sorry...that was page 992 of the Health Care Bill...google it........

Dawn Moriarty Funderburk - I just called my kid's schools and they do not know anything about it as of right now. Do all schools have to participate?

Amy Torres - Parents need to stay involved in the education of their children, and we all need to watch out for the wolf in sheep's clothing. This is the link to the source where I read about it....my sons school knew exactly what I was talking about, however, there is no mention of it on the school site, letter to parents, etc....

Dawn Moriarty Funderburk - I find it odd that my kid's schools had no knowledge of it if it supposed to happen next Tuesday.

Brady Speers - It's all over Education Department website

Jeff Ellington - little history fact. do you know who created the Dept of Education?
Jimmy Carter. and education been down hill ever since.

Karan Anderson Wroten - Parents, your claws better come out on this. Teachers have enough on their plate and don't need to waste our children's time on this junk. What about TAKS? Don't get me started.

Jeff Ellington - Mark Davis on WBAP was talking about this, this morn. Mine isn't at school age but Karan is right, you guys that do have a little one in school, need to fight this hard!

Brady Speers - I mean writing a letter is one thing, but stroking Obama's ego is just going over the top. Maybe do something you promised you would Obama, like being different than the others, and you will get the praise you are due! Did we ask the same when Bush was in office? No, of course not.

David Ogletree - I"m sure you doing a good job instilling them with hate towards those who don't agree with you. I'm about to just stop using Facebook. I'm very tired of all this hate speech. I think Christians need to go back and read the Bible instead of spending all their time hating everybody. Christians are known by the world as hateful mean people. That is not the image that the Bible tells us to give. I hardly remember you from college and all I really know about you from facebook is that you hate Obama and all things Democrat. You should work on what you are known for.

Becky Speers Jensen - There are people all over the world that give up their lives to stand up for the TRUTH and are obedient to what GOD tells us what is true and not what MAN says is true. God tells us to be bold and to stand up and not back down! Jesus was tortured and beaten because of what he stood for. He gave His life for me and David, He have his life for you. He paid the ultimate price for sin.....death. We are called as Christians to live by a different standard than that of the world.

Renee Rogers Mcclung - The goal of the speech and the lesson plans is to challenge students to work hard in school, to not drop out and to meet short-term goals like behaving in class, doing their homework.

You think in Texas were we are ranked 42nd in the education system you would be happy that our President is actually doing soemthing to help our children.

The fact that parents would keep their child out of school rather than listen to the PRESIDENT speak is ridiculos.... Read More

Here's and idea. Rather than teach your children to turn their back on people that they don't agree with, why don't you teach them to:
1) respect their elders and listen to what they have to say, even if they don't agree.
2) respect their PRESIDENT.

Just because your child listens to the president speak about staying in school, doesn't mean that they are going to turn in into Democrats. The fact is, they are way more intrested in Spongebob and GI Joe, than to listen to thier dad rant and rave about the President.

Jeff Ellington - good news is it's been withdrawn (kinda), bad news is, it's still out there...

The Obama administration is rethinking its course recommendations for students ahead of President Obama's address to the the nation's schoolchildren next week, rewriting its suggestions to teachers for student assignments on how to "help the president,"

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/03/white-house-withdraws-students-help-obama/

Melisa Wright - I think if it were a republican's idea....you guys would be all for it. In many people's eyes..he can do no right. Do you forget that it was republican's that caused our deficit. Our economy is actually picking up. I'm not republican or democratic; however, I think we all need to be objective and really pay attention to the world we live in and... Read More what is/has been going on. Your beloved Bush/Cheney...why don't you really find out what those snakes were up to. Dig deep. I have a problem with things being forced on us...but, sometimes we need it. When adults can't make good decisions...they need to be treated like a child.

Jeff Ellington - Funny you sound like a Democrat.

Renee Rogers Mcclung - She sounds like someone who is completely right. If it was anyone else but Obama in the school trying to help our children you guys would be all for it!

Jeff Ellington - no, Bush talked at a Jr high (i think) and I was just as against him as I am Obama. School is school, reading, writing, math, science, history, art. period. no politics...

David Ogletree - For starters he has not done anything yet and he only plans to tell kids to stay in school. There has never been any plans to say anything else. Christ never spoke out against the Gov of his time which was a very evil Gov. Christ & Paul could have made a big deal about how unfair the Gov was and never did. There is not one instance in the Bible that gives us any Christian mandate to speak out against the Gov. As a matter of fact it gives us a mandate to spread the Gospel. We are to be in the world not of the world. Our lives are to show only love to others. Go ask any random non christian and ask them what Christians are known for and I assure you the vast majority will not say nice things.

David Ogletree - You should be telling your children to respect their leaders instead of showing them by your actions and speech how much you disrespect them.

Jeff Ellington - David, yes the bible does say "to be in the world not of the world" and yes Jesus and Paul did not "speak out" against the Roman Empire, BUT we as Christians should look at the whole bible not just the parts we like. did not Saul, David, Joshua, and many others fight to protect and keep Israel out of bondage and escape from one oppessor or another. I pray daily on what I should do, and the answer I get back time and again is, fight! Gods power and glory will be shown though the fight weather we win or lose. Win or lose I will fight until I can't anymore. with my voice, vote, money, time, and with my sword and fist, if I must...

To stick with the "Roman" theme, I'm not going to stand around and do nothing when our Rome is burning around us. And I am sure not going to sit and watch Obama plays the fiddle.

Don't mean to be jumping on you David, really don't, but I will not teach my son to respect someone, some belief system, some philosophy that is SO Anti God and Christ.

David Ogletree - So your saying that Saul & David are better than Jesus & Paul. With your logic we should start a Christian militia and slaughter Obama and anybody that does not support your beliefs and start a Theocracy. The current administration does not come close to what the Roman empire did. Lets say all your baseless accusations are true. How is it evil ... and unchristian to make sure all people get medical help. I think you need to go study the good Samaritan a little more. Your statement goes against the New Testament. Paul even told us to go the extra mile not to start a group to speak out against the unfairness of making people carry soldiers stuff for one mile. The Jews were very upset that Jesus did not overthrow the Government. So upset in fact they used their political power to kill him. Your actions sound more like that of the Pharasies than of Jesus. All he did and what he told us to do was to ignore that stuff and spread the Gospel. How do your actions spread the Gospel.

Brady Speers - Wow. Now THIS is what America is all about. Now, I will not respond to David directly, since I never personally attacked him as he did me, but I will say this - we should teach our children to respect the OFFICE of the President in all cases, but not every President is a man worthy of PERSONAL respect (i.e. Clinton who cheated on his wife in the OVAL OFFICE). We can sit around in our Christian bubble and let evil rule the world while we sip our non-alocholic drinks, listen to our "christian music" while wearing our "christian clothing" or we can be active and stand up against ideas and values that totally oppose what the Bible itself stands for such as abortion for one. The Bible is full of stories and situations in which GOD HIMSELF destroyed entire nations for immorality and values such as what America is now headed towards. And if Christ and God the Father are one, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner Johnny!

Brady Speers - Furthermore, Christ himself said we would be hated by the world. HATED and DESPISED just as he was. (John 15:8) Walk into a crowd and talk about Jesus and people will walk away. Walk into the same crowd and talk about Mohammed and they will listen and applaud. Christians spend too much trying to be loved and accepted by the world. Christ made it clear there would be a line in the end times and you would either be on one side or the other. Yes, we are to love our neighbors on a one-on-one basis, but we are to stand up FOR CHRIST, against the world, if need be. This President stands for abortion, wants my taxes to pay for abortions, wants the acceptance of all religions as a pathway to God and there is much more I could discuss that this man believes in that are totally contrary to Christ, but space will not allow.

Brady Speers - Finally, if the President wants to speak to our children only about education I am all for it and would think it to be pretty darn cool. But only after I KNOW what it is he plans to say. All he needs to do is reveal to us parents his transcript so we can make that choice. I will not allow the most powerful man in the world free reign into the minds of my children without my consent. No way Jose. Sadly, Obama will likely use this platform to push his socialistic agenda and political plans every so suttly for sure. After all, many of these kids will be the age to vote when his re-election bid comes around and if you don't think his advisors are thinking about that, you (meaning whoever) are a fool.

Jeff Ellington - David, you just said that you don't like all the "haters" here on FBK but so far, you've been the most hateful, in this comments link...

Just because I disagree with how this admin. on what it wants to do, your saying I want to start a Theocracy...

Just because I disagree, you say I want to kill Obama...... Read More

Just because I disagree, you say I want to start a militia...

I have said none of these things...

The good Samaritan did what did he out of God calling on him to do it. and he did, with his free will. He was not FORCED by the government or God to do it, he choose to do it. the bible, is not just the New Testament, it is the Old and the New. By just looking at the New testament you are just as blind as the Jewish leaders of today, who look at only the Old.

It is not evil and unchristian to want to make sure people get medical help and neither is it evil and unchristian to disagree with how we are going to do it.
September 3 at 9:04pm ·

Jeff Ellington - no, disrespect to Brady (or you either David) just being spirited in my defense of Our (we the People) way of life.

David Ogletree - He is going to release what he is going to say before he does it. It is Gods right to destroy a nation for immorality but it is his job alone. If we go into a crowd and talk about Jesus your right people will hate us for that. My problem is that we have a reputation for being hateful people. I worked at Olive Garden one time & you could win an award to pick your own schedule. I asked why they never picked Sunday and they said "that is the worst time. It is the busiest and it is the God squad. They don't tip and they complain the most". People in the public eye talk about how the first wave of hate mail is always Christians. Churches have become so partisan that it is almost impossible for a Democrat to attend Sunday School because it often turns into a Political rally. Pres Bush had the power at one point to do pretty much whatever he wanted and Abortion is still legal. If the Republican party really wanted to make it illegal they could. They are just stringing you along.

Jeff Ellington - Boy wow, where to begin. You know what David you get the last word cuz I'm getting a nose bleed.... Just last thing, pick better Churches... I have never been in one that has done what you are talking about. maybe I've been lucky (or blessed) either way, you want to dump on Christians, which is funny cuz you say you are one (and I believe you when you do). it seems you have alot of self hate about that. So, I'm out...

Pray for you brother.

Jeff Ellington - http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ib8qja0qqnnbZFsHF7kP6GV9XVfQD9AG43GO0 not looking good for Mr. Obama...

Brady Speers - I agree. Our church is wonderful and loves all people. We do have our issues, and many Christians give Christ a bad name (I do so myself at times) but for the most part, the Christians I know are real, loving, and very charitable. This has nothing do with this dialoge however regarding Obama speaking to our kids, so not sure how we ended up here. I am out...

Brady Speers - FYI, most of the nations God destroyed he did so by using the Israelites (actual people with swords and chariots) or by allowing them to destroy themselves such as the Roman Empire. Rarely did he destroy nations without the help of human beings the way he did with Sodom and Gomorrah.

Dave Curlee - So.... how's everybody doing here?

Dave Curlee - just my 2cents. I have no problem with Obama, Bush, Clinton, H.W. Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy... who ever the president is addressing school kids. That's cool. But I want his message, (and he does serve at the will of We The People), to be, "study hard, read read read, do your math, listen to your parents, help others, work hard and you can be president to."

I'm also cool if Mr T, Arnold Schartzenager, Newt Gingrich, Ashton Kutcher or Dog the Bounty Hunter do that. No problem there.

What I don't like is that when you couple this, with all the other stuff coming out of the admin, both policy-wise and rhetoric...it's starting to look.... familiar....
September 3 at 10:50pm · DeleteDave CurleeNow I know y'all are gonna take this out of context and there may be some screaming, but.... Hitler understood that if you could get one generation early enough, you could change the country or world.

Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania knew this to be true as well. I have FRIENDS who were indoctrinated by him and his secret police... who were in government orphanages.... who were brought out to wave adoringly at him as he passed...

My kids are mine. God entrusted Kat and Me to raise them. No one is going to usurp that. Right wing, left, middle, confused... doesn't matter.

Remember, this is a government by the people, for the people... let that sink in. WE the people. We don't serve them. They serve us. We have every DUTY to question them, to hold them accountable, to remove them when they do wrong. It's our responsibility the result of their actions. Whether good or bad, we put them there and we must hold them accountable. ...

Dave Curlee - I don't hate President Obama, I think is very wrong on many many things. And I don't trust him to NOT try to indoctrinate our kids. It's not my actions that are causing that mistrust... I'm not the one who says one thing and then does another....

Brady Speers - Good stuff my friend Curlee. Good stuff. In light of what was just released about yet another of his appointees believing 9/11 was an inside job (sound familiar Rev Wright?!?) there is a lot America did NOT question before giving this man the most important seat in the world. Now that he is in it, it is OUR job to control him, not his job to control us. If he wants to cheer our kids on, that is awesome. But kids can watch it online later, after parents view it and DECIDE they want their kids to see it. That's the way it should be. Period end of story. We make the call when it comes to our kids, not even the President.

Jeff Ellington - Good stuff D. Curlee, good stuff. WE raise our kids, not the Gov... right or left...

Jeff Ellington - And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what your can do for your country. -JFK

Above all, tell the Truth - S. Cleveland

I am heartily rejoiced that my term is so near its close. I will so cease to be a servant and will become a sovereign. - James Polk

Melisa Wright - Above all, tell the Truth...yeah, Bush, Cheney...that's definitely their motto. Cheney is an evil, evil man; do your research people before you judge Obama. So far, our economy is starting to pick up and he wants to keep kids in school....hum, doesn't sound so bad. It's been just a few months and things are starting to get better. If parents can't keep their kids in school, off drugs, practicing safe (I prefer NO) sex, etc.....someone has to speak out and try something new. Our country is excusing inexcusable crimes, turning the other cheek.....most people should be ashamed of themselves. I am a sinner like everyone else but I am honest, have good morals, treat other people like I want to be treated.....can you really say that about people like Cheney????? NO I don't decide who dies....have no regard for others only my pocket book and my power. I think Obama has a tough job....seriously. At least he's not trying to fatten his pockets and "turning the other cheek".

Jeff Ellington - Really Melisa? better? 16% unemployment is better? Gas at 2.50 here in Texas better(higher in other parts of the country)? wanting to change our form of government to Socialism is better? government control of banks and car companies and healthcare is better? A President who surrounds himself with dangerous people better?

Someone who is a racist- Rev Wright
someone who is a communist- Van Jones
someone who will ledgelate from the bench- Sotomayor... Read More
someone who is a known terrorist- Bill Ayers

these people are friends of or work for Obama, this is what you think is better? and the list could go on and on....

NAME 1, just 1 lie that Bush and Cheney said... and back it up. was he a great President? no but he was a devoted American who worked everyday to protect this country.

Do my research on Obama, since 07 and everyday since....

Dave Curlee - Yeah, could someone explain to me how spending us in to a 12 trillion (that's thousand billion - kind of a lot) debt is better. Ok, we were at the 2 - 3 trillion dollar debt under Bush / Cheney... Who added the extra 9 Trillion (again, that's 9 thousand billion - a little more than the average household earns).

And Jeff's right, If VP Cheney is evil, please enumerate those evils. Same goes for Bush. List them out please.

Please explain to me how those two moved the country further towards socialism. Please list out the folks they surround(ed) themselves with that are:... Read More
-communist
-socialist
-marxist
-racist
-supporters of communist countries

Please show me the folks in their administration or personal lives that promote statism. That promote that we should serve our government. That we should all suffer a little for the common good....

Give me those names please. I wanna read up on those Bush / Cheney cronies that believe / promote those things.

Melisa Wright - The unemployment crisis started well before he took office...remember that. Rev Wright....yes a racist. I don't say that I am "ok" with everything...I'm not all or nothing kinda person. I do have a problem with some of his relationships. I'm just saying don't discount and see bad in everything he does because he's a democrat. I just worked out...starving now, must eat. I will respond again to your last post.

Dave Curlee - I don't think any of us are discounting everything he's doing because he's a democrat. It goes beyond that. Republican / Democrat / Whigg.. whatever. It's the decisions he's making and the people he surrounds himself with... that's what causes us to not trust him.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna just blindly follow. I don't do that with any leader. These are people, not gods.

I didn't go with the "bush can do no wrong" stuff either. He made some dumb mistakes. I do think he was really trying to help, but I also think he did some dumb stuff. It just turns out that Obama is doing a lot more dumb stuff. And his dumb stuff is really hurting or poised to hurt us. Tell me please what is Brady to do as payroll taxes increase. Is he expected to make every move with altruism? Or is he expected to 1, provide for his family, and 2. provide for his corporation.

If his company is to survive and thus, ensure that his family survives... his focus will be on cutting costs...and as those payroll taxes increase... he'll look for ways to maintain equilibrium... and that doesn't mean, dropping his salary drastically and letting his family suffer. Now I know him, and have seen him in tough straights with his company. I've seen him pay my salary and not his. He's paid his dues and risked more than any employee of his... Read More. So when those taxes start to increase, so that all this out-of-control spending can be paid for... the unemployed level will increase a bit... as they walk out of EH.. and into the unemployment office.

That's not a democrat or republican thing. That's a conservative / liberal thing. Conservatives want people to keep more of what they earn so that they can have more $ to employ people.

Margaret Thatcher said that the problem with socialism is that eventually, you run out of other people's money.... having to pay down a 12 trillion dollar debt is gonna cause that kind of a problem....for your kids and mine, and our grand children.

Melisa Wright - First, I am far more conservative than liberal; just an fyi. Also, I think it's great that you speak so highly of Brady and the sacrifices he has made for his employees. For alot of republican's it is a democratic/republican thing. I just got home so...I'm going to need some time to find specific references for you guys as to why I said the things I said. Cheney and Rumsfeld are old school evil....that is my opinion. We all think differently and things that I view as immoral or wrong isn't necessarily going to be the same as others. Ultimately, I am not the one that matters. Cheney is a sick man, physically and mentally. Does he sleep well at night??? I do. I'll get back within a couple "business" days with specifics.

Melisa Wright - Ours is archiving it and putting it on the school website so that families can make the individual choice.......good decision.

Brady Speers - Ok I really want to get this thing to 100 comments!! I will respond with more later right now it is time to hang with my girls

Brady Speers - Ok, just for the record, Melisa, the US Congress has been in total control by democrats since 2006. The recession started sometime from 2006-2008. Bush was a lame duck President by then. So those that made the decisions to allow people that could not afford homes to get loans anyway were not the GOP who have had little power since 2006. Now I agree but he is now our President that has clearly been tied and associated with people that spew hate about our country and terrorists that even bombed the Pentago and say 9/11 was a govt event! Bush started as a great President but ended up making some poor decisions by giving these huge companies money and running our national debt even higher. Now Obama has added another 3 trillion to it in just 8 months. But don't drink the CNN coolaid that this recession was Bush's. It wasn't and the facts are very clear once you look at them. Regardless, it is now Obama's to fix and...

Brady Speers - he has done NOTHING to affect change. It is now HIS economy. The blame it on Bush concept won't work anymore which is why Obama's poll numbers are below 45%!!! As far as it being a "tough job" I would say 1). this is why we were fools to elect a man with 18 mos of experience as a senator and nothing more. 2). I would say "poor baby". Yes, it is the toughest job in the world. That is why you need a person that has a respected track record, experience and strength. Obama may have strength, but he has very little of the other two. He won because he was "cool" and gave moving speeches (and they were) and on promises of being different but he isn't. Regardless for me, he is the most liberal thinking man ever in control of our country, and that alone is the reason I don't like the dude. The immoral, anti-biblical ideals he supports and endorses will bring the judgment of God on our nation even more than it already is.

Sat at 11:36pm

Brady Speers - Now, let's keep this going people so we can hit 100 comments! COMON!!!

Brady Speers - Ok, just heard Obama is releasing his education speech transcript on Monday. He must be reading this conversation OR, his advisor (Axelrod) grew a brain. That was all he needed to do.

Jeff Ellington - "...So those that made the decisions to allow people that could not afford homes to get loans anyway were not the GOP who have had little power since 2006...." Speers.

Just to touch on this point by Brady, Freddie Mac and Fannie May where started by the Carter Admin back in the 70s and expanded during the Clinton Admin in the 90s. there was warning bells about Freddie and Fannie but during the hearing about them having problems back around 06, all the Congressional leaders in charge of overseeing Freddie and Fannie said everything was great, no problems. Of course we now know that this democratic leaders in congress where on the take from lobbist for Freddie and Fannie and many of them got "special" loans from Freddie and Fannie and alot of other shady deals...

Jeff Ellington - ...VERY much like the S & L scandal that Congress had in the 80s & 90s. The Bush Admin tried to reform and restore Freddie and Fannie but his ideas where shot down by the Democrat Congress.

But we can be very clear. the Freddie and Fannie problems are very much a Democrat problem. and the people know it...

Jeff Ellington - I want to touch on the statements that Cheney and Rummy are Evil but don't have time before work today. also want to go back to healthcare (I know, jumping around, arn't I?) but again no time before work, so I'll be back later. C ya.

Brady Speers - Fun, fun. Where did our buddy Ogletree go? and Melisa? Guess the heat in the kitchen got too hot...

Brady Speers - jump over to this discussion - good stuff people - http://www.facebook.com/bradyspeers?v=feed&story_fbid=143026427593

Dawn Moriarty Funderburk - Hey thanks for the heads up on the obama speech in schools. I had no idea until I read it on your FB and now I feel so much more informed. I have called the schools and talked with my boys' teachers and they are not showing it in our classes. Thanks again!

Obama's REAL Healthcare Plan...

2009-08-04T07:04:00.001-07:00

HealthSCARE Reform - We MUST Act Now!

2009-07-22T20:07:00.000-07:00

President Obama wants government controlled, socialized healthcare. At any costs. That is his bottom line.

As a health insurance agent, I agree certain reforms are needed. Carriers need to approve and cover more applicants, reduce premiums, and be held accountable. All of us agree on those reforms.

But few I talk to want our Government to be in control of our medicine and that is exactly what our liberal Congress is seeking with some bills currently being proposed.

Using scare tactics that our nation will self destruct if a bill is not passed TODAY, they are ignoring some very real truths.

1. The U.S. has the most respected medical system in the world. People from socialized healthcare nations like Canada and Britain now come to America for treatment. No one goes there.

2. Out 100 people, 85 have health insurance right now.

3. Of the 50,000,000 we hear about that are "un-insured". Over 10,000,000 of them are illegal aliens. Another large chunk of them are young and could careless about having insurance, and still another large group of people already qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and simply are too lazy to get it setup. I know, I personally talk to people in these catagoties every single week!

The current bill in the House includes other items you might not be aware of:

1. Abortions will be funded with Federal dollars.

2. Seniors will be required to have at least one "end of life" counseling session every 5 years.

3. If you do not have private insurance by 2012 the law will prohibit you from getting your own private plan, forcing you to accept the government plan.

4. Your medical records, which have always been protected as private, will be stored with a governmental office in D.C.

5. Costs will be controlled by determining procedures based on age and condition. For exmample, an 78 year old woman needing a hip replacement surgery will likely be refused in order to keep costs down. Example two, a 53 year old man with terminal cancer will be refused expensive drugs to extend his life and improve his final days in order to keep costs. Both of these happen in Canada and Britain right now.

6. This bill would add TRILLIONS more to our national debt! When is this spending going to stop!?

7. In order to cover the 50,000,000 that are "un-insured", the 250,000,000 of us with coverage are going to have to completely lose the healthcare system we have come to rely on and trust in.

There is much more being learned as details in this bill are discovered among the 1,000 pages. Most congressional members have not read the bill and neither has President Obama as he admited his recent press conference. (How can these morons on Capital Hill pass bills that change our entire nation and cost trillions without READING THEM I will never understand!)

This is why we MUST act now and slow this Obama political agenda down. He wants to change the fabric of our nation and few things are more important than us all getting the highest quality healthcare the world offers. He does not care to know the details. He only cares about his legacy to push us towards higher taxes, big government and socialisim.

If you and I allow Congress to pass this bill we will regret this move more than anything Obama has done thus far. Simply sighing and hoping for better is not enough. We all need to act today. Call, write and get involved.

I have.

Will you?

Use the links below to get the contact information for Congress here and make a few calls, emails or letters today! Conservative Democrats jobs are on the line and they know it. We can stop this bill dead in it's track. All we have to do is let our voices be heard.

Who Am I?

2009-07-20T05:47:00.000-07:00

(from an email sent to me)

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career..
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...... I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could change our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.

I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.
*Who am I?

Confused Republican Powell is Starting to See the Light

2009-07-05T11:44:00.000-07:00

I have to admit, how Colin Powell can be a "conservative" and support one of the most big government, big spending administrations in our nation's history is beyond me.

But at least he is starting to come back to his senses as he made these statements in a CNN interview this morning on their State of the Union show.

"I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them."

"And I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars, and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that, if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great grandchildren will have to pay for it."

"One of the cautions that has to be given to the President -- and I've talked to some of his people about this -- is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all. We can't pay for it all."

When the reporter asked if Mr. Powell was worried, he said. "Yes, concerned."

These words echo the statements he made below in 1996:

"The federal government has become too large and too intrusive in our lives," Mr. Powell said then. "We can no longer afford solutions to our problems that result in more entitlements, higher taxes to pay for them, more bureaucracy to run them, and fewer results to show for it."

Climate Change Bill is High Tax In Disguise

2009-06-27T07:58:00.000-07:00

Conservatives are sending out stronger messages than ever before that this Administration is going to destroy our nation in terms of values, ethics, freedom and finances.

Nothing President Obama has done so far is doing anything to turn this nation around. Rather, he is rushing incredible socialistic agenda based measures through Congress with most of the bills not even being read before being voted on! It's truly increbile what this man has done in 4 months and what it looks like he is going to do in the next. He must be stopped.

Friday what some are calling a "Climate Change" bill was barely passed in the House. In truth, those of us that are informed, know this bill is going to increase costs, prices, and unemployment all the while having little positive effect on the environment. The libs are actually calling this a "Carbon" tax...

Seriously, we are CARBON-based life forms!!! This is just another attempt for the likes of Al Gore to make millions on his dreamed up Global Warming propaganda. (The earth is actually in a period of cooling right now and many scientists are now calling "global warming" a farce).

Did you know they are going to tax cattle farts with this new bill? Yep, our farmers are now going to be taxed $87.50 a head and you can bet we are the one's paying for it at the grocery store too. Don't believe me - read this:

We will look back on this bill as one that really did us in. Just give it some time...

Obama is Already a Failure - List Updated Regularly

2009-06-18T05:56:00.000-07:00

Obama has barely in in office 4 months but as I and many others predicted, he and his policies are failing - miserably too. I have been silent for weeks now, watching and waiting to see what might "change". Sadly, the only thing changing is the fabric of our nation built upon free enterprise, democracy and faith values.

Obama is destroying our country from the inside out and he still has years left on his plate to do more.

But liberals won't face the facts. They won't own up to these truths from the Obama camp in just 160 days in office.

* we have added $3,000,000,000,000,000 in debt in that time
* he plans to add $1,500,000,000,000,000 more in debt for healthcare
* attempts are being made like never before to bring us "government healthcare"
* he has gone on more than two tours throughout the world and has basically apologized for America
* his attempts at trying to be social, pleasant to our enemies has resulted in most of these leaders publicly running over him and further degrading our nation
* little has been done to stop North Korea or Iran in keeping them from gaining nuclear weapons * his stimulus packages have done nothing to affect our economy
* his spending has been on stupid projects like nearly $2,000,000 for a "turtle tunnel" in Florida (Google that one friends)
* the stock market has not rebounded and appears it will remain stagnant at below 9,000
* he has poured billions of our money into companies such as GM and many banks and look at what happened to Chrysler and GM anyway
* he has had numerous issues with staff members within his administration
* he has nominated a failed minority woman as the next Supreme Court judge
* he has released GITMO prisoners who have since returned to their terrorism and killed people
* he has refused ot stand up for freedom fighters in Iran
* he has allowed North Korea to push us around
* he promised unemployment would not go above 8% - it is nearly 10% already

Obama's honeymoon is coming to a quicker end than most President's before him. The polls are speaking out to us. American's are not happy with this man. Even some democrats are regretting giving this man their vote. The most popular, celebrity-like President ever is losing steam, and losing it fast. This is why he has rushed so many of his socialistic agendas through the system. He knows he is already on borrowed time. Congressional elections are next year and the races will heat up soon. Many conservatives will likely regain some seats diminishing Obama's powers.

Democrats are already saying things like:

- we need to give him more time
- the economy was Bush's fault
- it will get better
- it's not spending, it's "investing"

Conservative hope is alive. We can only pray we can stop this unreal liberal before there is little left to save...

Hilarious Amateur Comedy Take on Biden

2009-05-17T08:20:00.000-07:00

Biden is the Epitome of a Man Who Cannot Shut His Mouth

2009-05-17T08:03:00.000-07:00

We all knew that once Obama selected Joe Biden as his running mate that gaffes galore would quickly ensue. Yet, none of us had any idea his crop of mouthy ignorance would really be this plentiful.

Here are just a FEW of the one's we have since he became our VP:

1. Biden claims over 400 people a day are losing jobs in Louisiana which was completely false.

2. Biden tells everyone to avoid flying because of the swine flu, causing unnecessary fears and hurting an already reeling airline industry.

3. Biden forgets name of website during interview that tracks government spending from new stimulus bill.

4. Biden reveals truth and location of secret VP bunker used by Cheney after 9/11 and still used today!

Lord help us if he ever has to actually be Commander in Chief. Right now, he can't even Chief is own tongue.

Obama's First 100 Days

2009-04-29T20:16:00.000-07:00

No U.S. President (maybe in history) has done more in his first 100 days than Barack Obama.

Unfortunately, for more and more Americans, Obama's agenda is starting to hit home. What in the world did we just do putting this EXTREME liberal in office?

In just 100 days this man has systematically destroyed foundational values the nation has held dear for decades, and is eagerly attempting to "change" the overall fabric of the USA we know and love.

Here is just some of what has taken place since January 20, 2009.

1. Appointed numerous unethical, tax avoiding people for various positions within his administration.
2. Was first sitting President to waste time by appearing on an evening talk show where he made a poor statement about Special Olympics. Can you imagine had Bush done this during this economic crisis????
3. We have seen unemployment rise even more along with the market tanking and now floundering.
4. Obama rushed a "spendulous" bill through congress chopped full of the very "pork spending" he said he would veto!
5. Obama's budget will cause the U.S. to be in debt more than $3 trillion dollars (and some say way more) more than President Bush ever asked for.
6. Met with Queen Elizabeth where he proceeded to hand her a gift of an Ipod loaded with his own speeches and then he touched her, something that no President or any other leader has ever done and is totally against British security protocol!
7. Is pushing to lift the embargo against Cuba and befriend Castro, something no President has done since 1960!
9. Went on various world tours basically apologizing for America - letting national leaders berate the U.S. while Obama sat there and did nothing.
10. First U.S. President to bow to the President of Saudi Arabia - a sign of submissions no U.S. President should ever do.
11. Released top secret CIA documents, empowering terrorists, and seriously handicapping our ability to interrogate.
12. Has refused to state anything about us still being in a war on terror. Appears to think he can be sweet, kind and logical with people that hate us. It didn't work with Carter or Clinton and it certainly won't work now.
13. Is already positioning himself to take all of the credit for the war in Iraq being successful and coming to an end soon.
14. Met and exchanged pleasantries with President Chavez, another hater of America. He sat with a smile on his face and listened to Chavez berate America. Then Obama spoke for 17 minutes and basically apologized for how we treat leaders who murder their own people.
15. Completely ignored the launch of a rocket by North Korea.
16. Has hinted that Israel should do nothing to stop Iran in an effort of defending themselves.
17. Made abortions even easier to access by providing governmental funding and prohibiting doctors from refusing to do them.
18. First sitting President to have a Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn - with only gay families.
19. Provided initial funding for nationalized health care system.
20. Had his staff cover up all Christian symbols before a speech he gave at a CATHOLIC university!
21. Has pledged to reduce our defenses including all nuclear weapons leaving us as sitting ducks.
22. Has dismantled the EMP commission. (http://www.onesecondafter.com/)
23. Never states nor discusses from stage or any other format the power of liberty, personal freedom or democracy.
24. America main stream media is in a complete slobber fest love affair with this man. He can do no wrong and his face is plastered every where! Thanks to FoxNews.com there is some sense of balance out there.
25. Has made desperate attempts already to become friends with Iran - even as they continue to spew hate and threats towards America and himself personally.
26. Subjected himself to a 50 minute tongue lashing by socialist, killed, Ortega - sitting like a submissive child.
27. Obama reported personal incomes of over $4,000,000 in 2007 and $2,700,000 in 2008. Poor guy. Yea, and we are stupid enough to believe "he is one of us". What morons... (by the way - Obama with his millions donated a whopping 5% to charity - Biden made $250,000 last year and donated an unreal amount less than 1%!!! What hypocrites telling us we need to give more!)

One thing is for sure; everything people were warning us about if he got elected he has done and more.

There is more to this list too, but I am already sick at my stomach over what this guy is doing to our country. Now is the time to become even more active and prepare for REAL change in the 2010 congressional elections. Let's just pray he can't undo everything between now and then.

New Bill Would Reduce Free Speech Freedoms

2009-04-22T07:45:00.001-07:00

Just received an email about a new bill that what drastically change our abilities of free speech and give Obama power to prosecute nearly anyone. FROM AN EMAIL:

America's most basic freedoms of speech, conscience and the free exercise of religion are under attack and the time to act is now. If President Obama succeeds with his priority of passing the Hate Crimes law, H.R. 1913 - the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, it could lead to the criminalization of the Biblical view of homosexuality in sermons and elsewhere. An offended homosexual could accuse a pastor, Sunday School teacher of broadcaster of causing emotional injury simply by expressing the Biblical view that homosexuality is sinful.

H.R. 1913 is one more step in the campaign to legitimize homosexuality in our culture by treating it as a protected class along with race, gender, and religion. The long term goal is to create one more platform from which to eradicate wrong thinking about homosexuality. H.R. 1913 will undoubtedly pave the way to legislation that will make thinking Biblically about homosexuality a "hate crime."

We believe prosecutors and anti-Christian groups will use loop holes in the proposed legislation to muzzle the church from speaking out on Biblical standards of morality which are shared by most Americans. Unnecessary lawsuits will bring a chilling effect to the free speech and religious liberty of our churches and of our members.

Laws already exist in all 50 states to punish violent crime, making this legislation unnecessary, unfair, indefinable, un-American and constitutionally suspect.

Laws in civilized nations have always been designed to punish conduct, not thought. H.R. 1913 is not designed to aid in crime fighting. Punishing wrong beliefs about homosexuality is the sole aim of H.R. 1913 - the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

It's true: Check it out: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1913/show

Attacks on Christianity Keep Coming

2009-04-17T05:58:00.000-07:00

Along with the most liberal spending in U.S. government history, the nominations of unethical people and talks of downgrading our defenses, the Obama administration appears to be on track to do all it can to tear down long-standing Christian values. He calls himself a Christian. I judge he is not...because the Bible makes it clear true believers will be known by their actions and his stance on abortion and the note below makes it obvious we do not share in reading the same Bible. See below an email Ireceived the other day from www.wallbuilders.com

A Presidential Nominee
President Obama has begun making nominations to the U. S. Courts of Appeals. His first nomination – a very troubling one – is of Federal District Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which oversees Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.When Hamilton was made a federal district judge by President Clinton in 1994, the American Bar Association rated him as "not qualified." After all, prior to his appointment as a judge, Hamilton had been a fundraiser for the widely-discredited group ACORN and was also a board member of the Indiana ACLU, serving as its litigation director.Consider some of the notable decisions he has rendered as a federal district judge.

RELIGIOUS EXPRESSIONS
Three years ago in 2006, Judge Hamilton delivered an unprecedented ruling, ordering the Indiana Legislature to discontinue its 188-year-old tradition of opening legislative sessions with prayer. Strikingly, the case had been brought before him by the Indiana ACLU – the very group that he had helped direct.

Even though the legislature had prayers from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim clerics, Judge Hamilton complained that some of the ministers had used the wrong words in their prayers. He then proceeded to list permissible words and phrases to be used in public prayers and pointed out that any prayers "offered in the name of Jesus, Jesus Christ, the Savior, and/or the Son" were unconstitutional; he would allow no public prayer unless it "refrain[ed] from using Christ's name or title." Strikingly, however, Judge Hamilton held that prayers offered in the name "Allah" were constitutional.Even though the U. S. Supreme Court had already said in clear terms that judges were not to parse the wording of prayers, Judge Hamilton had no difficulty in disregarding that by not only telling individuals whether they could pray but also what words to use in their personally-composed public prayers.The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals (to which he has now been nominated) overturned Judge Hamilton's egregious ruling.

ABORTION ISSUES
The Indiana Legislature passed a law requiring abortion clinics to provide women with information about alternatives to abortion, but for seven years, Judge Hamilton kept that law tied up in his court before finally striking it down.The 7th Circuit Court (1) reversed Hamilton's radical pro-abortion decision in that case, (2) pointed out that his ruling was unprecedented by any other court in the country, and (3) chided him for his abusive handling of that case, noting:
For seven years, Indiana has been prevented from enforcing a statute materially identical to a law held valid by the Supreme Court in Casey [in 1992], by this court in Karlin [in 1998], and by the fifth circuit in Barnes [in 1992]. No court anywhere in the country (other than one district judge in Indiana [i.e., Hamilton]) has held any similar law invalid in the years since Casey. Although Salerno [in 1987] does not foreclose all pre-enforcement challenges to abortion laws, it is an abuse of discretion for a district judge to issue a pre-enforcement injunction while the effects of the law (and reasons for those effects) are open to debate. (emphasis added)

OTHER ISSUES
There are many other troubling decisions by Judge Hamilton, including issues related to illegal drug possession, and the ability of child sex offenders to move freely within a state.
– – – ◊ ◊ ◊ – – –
Judge David Hamilton has proven himself to be an extreme pro-abortion activist and a religious bigot, specifically singling out Christianity for hostile treatment. Now, President Obama wants to reward him by elevating him to the very court that overruled his radical decisions. Please call your two U. S. Senators and ask them to vote against Judge Hamilton for the 7th Circuit. Americans do not need judicial activists on federal courts who deliberately undermine the constitutional protection of life and religious liberty. (To find the phone numbers and email addresses of your Senators, go to http://www.senate.gov/ and select your state from the top right corner.)

God bless!

A Letter to President Obama

2009-03-06T04:46:00.000-08:00

President Obama,

I am writing you this letter because you are the leader of our great nation - a nation that provides each of us freedom, liberty, justice, and equality. For centuries now we have been free people whom have been blessed by our Maker to live in such a land that affords each individual the opportunities only America can give. Each person, regardless of background, genetics, race, or privilege, who lives in America, can rise above circumstance and accomplish anything their determination, ability, work ethic, and effort is put towards.

America allows you to earn as much as you can make. America allows you to forget the past and move towards a new future. America lets you dream as big as your mind will allow, and only America allows each of us to determine just what kind of life we want to live during our short time on this planet.

But our nation is changing and you are the main catalyst for that change. As you promised, so you are doing.

I own a small business called Equal Health (www.equalhealth.com). For nearly 10 years we have helped provide affordable healthcare options for people who are self-employed, who cannot afford or qualify for traditional insurance, or small businesses looking for benefits to offer their employees. We also market mortgage and life insurance protection for families and workers. We have about 50 employees, most of whom proudly voted for you, and many of whom are African-American such as yourself. What they don’t understand is that their jobs are likely to soon be eliminated.

Our company did about $4,000,000 last year in gross revenue. The ownership is the bank behind our growth. We have no loans, we have no capital, and we certainly haven't received a bailout from the government or anyone else. Everything we have done to grow our company has been done with the limited credit and bank accounts of me and my business partner. We started with $10,000 in hand and have been through numerous times in which we wondered if we would survive. Each time, we made it through and pressed on. Both my business partner and I have made major sacrifices to keep the company alive. We have taken huge pay cuts, run up personal credit cards, delayed personal investing, and we have lived a life that has more stress at times than one could imagine. And the entire time we have never asked our government for anything.

It makes no sense what you and the leaders of our nation are doing to us right now.

This letter is not about a request for funds, but merely to make a point. Companies that do not deserve to be bailed out are being handed billions. Companies with no real plans, terrible leadership, poor judgment, bad products and incompetent CEOs are being supported by taxpayers dollars such as my own and it infuriates me.

Unlike those that have received millions in bailout funds, my company, Equal Health, actually has a future and a plan to take advantage of that future. AIG, GM, Citigroup, and the others have no future, yet they continue to get funds that prop them up and allow them to face their own corporate realities. Meanwhile, my company could double in size and hire 50 more employees if we were given even an amount as low as $100,000!

Sadly, the recent stimulus bill passed by your Democratic-controlled Congress, not a bi-partisan one, was just the beginning of the items your administration is forcing upon us.

Now I am hearing rumbles of nationalized healthcare, reductions in charitable contributions being allowed, reductions in mortgage interest deductions, increased corporate taxes on small companies like Equal Health, increased taxes on business owners like me, increased payroll taxes and much, much more. Most would think nationalized healthcare would be my biggest concern, as your plan would destroy the lives of millions of insurance agents and agencies and would certainly threaten the jobs of the 50 people in my office who voted for you. And, yes, it is a concern, but our business model allows for product change if you decided to ruin our nation through nationalizing healthcare. What concerns me more are the other changes you’re proposing and seemingly rushing through Congress.

Charities will suffer because it is people like me who are fortunate enough to give more dollars to them than others are able. Not only do my wife and I give a large portion of my personal income to many ministries and charities, but Equal Health also gives thousands of dollars a year to more than seven different organizations. Your thoughts seem to be that most charitable people will still give, even if they cannot deduct those funds from their tax returns and in the case of me and my company, you are correct; we certainly will continue to do so. But you are very wrong to think most will. Charitable deductions have been a part of the economic fabric of America since our nation was founded. Your plan is going to set us back centuries, not decades.

I did not go into business to make $50,000 a year. I went into business to live my own version of the American dream. I want to be financially free, like you are President Obama. You have no financial worries. I want to be debt free. I want to earn as much as I can so that my children can have the best education possible. I want my wife to enjoy her days as a mother without the frets of financial worries. I work hard each and every week, dealing with the stresses of cash flow and human resource drama, week in and week out, in order for my family to do and have the things that are reasonably desired. We are not elitist billionaires eating off gold-plated utensils. We are regular people that live in a nice home, drive normal cars, have three kids and two dogs, attend church with everyone else, do our own laundry, shop at the local discount stores, and give as much as we can.

Yet your plan is not only demanding that I give 40 cents of every dollar back to you, it is now telling me I must reduce what I can deduct for my giving and my mortgage, and pay more in both corporate and payroll taxes. And somehow, you call this "fair"? The very people that voted for you are the ones that will feel the heat of your demands. I have taken all of the pay cuts I am going to take and I am certainly not going to layoff myself. I am not working for free and I refuse to put myself through all of the pressures of being a small business owner for a salary that is not comparable to the one you make.

Change is coming to America- that is certainly clear. But your change is neither "bi-partisan" as you promised, nor is it an agent of hope for anyone other than those that are looking for handouts.

My hand is not out and I do not want your money- but please, keep your hands out of mine.

Add Yet Another Tax Evader....

2009-03-03T04:56:00.000-08:00

Adding to the incredibly long list of Obama connections - his 4th cabinet nominee with a tax issue was discovered yesterday - our very own DFW democrat, Ron Kirk, owes $10,000 in Taxes.

It's apparent that Obama simply does not know people of moral character and certainly has his share of friends that are law breakers.

You are who you hang around....

Amateur Hour For Sure

2009-02-15T16:06:00.000-08:00

Obama's Administration is already laughable and he has barely been in office 30 days. Just look at the things that Obama has done, the events that have occured, and the list of candidates for his administration and the issues associated with them.

You are who you know...

Obama's Half-Brother Arrested on Drug Charges in Kenya
Obama Healthcare Nominee, Tom Daschle, pulls name from hat because of discovered tax issues
Obama Secretary of Commerce Nominee, Bill Richardson, pulls name from hat after fraud investigation revealed.
Obama Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, Fails to Pay Taxes but still gets voted in to lead our economy
Obama Set to Close Gitmo, Putting Terrorists on American Soil with Full Rights
Obama's First TV Interview with NBC, ABC, CBS or FOX? No, try Al-Arabiya TV!
Obama Re-Enacts Law That Will Fund More Abortions
Obama Senate Passes Largest Spending Bill Ever ($1,000,000,000,000) Full of Fluff!
Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, Connected to Ousted Illinoi Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich
Obama Gives ABC's George Stephanopoulos Unfair Journalistic Access to Promote Agenda
Obama 2nd Secretary of Commerce, Judd Gregg, pulls name from hat after reviewing "$800b Stimulus" bill
Obama Performance Czar Nominee, Killefer, pulls name from hat after because of tax issues
Obama's Congress passes law that says House and Senate must allow 48 hours before passing a new bill....3 days later they pass record spending bill allowing less than 24 hours for Congress/Public to review it.

This is going to be a long for years. But, thankfully he is setting the stage for an easy GOP win in less than 4 years.

Give W Some Props

2009-02-02T18:42:00.000-08:00

Now you can share your thanks with our former President in a personal note that will be printed in a book and handed to him...

I simply cannot understand how America has forgotten so quickly all of the great things President Bush did for our nation. For some reason, he has become hated and I do mean hated. He was even booed at Obama's inauguration which was just despicable. I never liked Bill Clinton nor do I like Obama, yet both deserve the respect the position of President demands from all Americans.

The main stream media hated Bush as did Hollywood and all Democratic party leaders. They spew hate like I had never seen hurling insult after insult intertwined with name calling gallore. Yet, President Bush never retaliated and he stayed the course of where his beliefs were leading him.

History will prove President Bush was a good President and a great man. Yes he had his share of mistakes as all leaders do but this man has ensured our safety here in America for nearly 8 years. He kept America strong, he freed people in bondage, he stood for morals and Godly values, and much more.

President Bush, thank you, for all you did and welcome back to Texas where TRUE American's reside...

I know one day we will wish you were back in office...

Go now and give your thanks -

Spend, Spend, Spend...

2009-01-30T18:45:00.000-08:00

from an email post:

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1). This bill, which eventually will cost one trillion dollars, will increase the amount of taxes owed by every person in America by $3,333.

But you don't need to worry because you will never have to pay it. Neither will your children. It will be your grandchildren and their children who will pay this tax. It is utterly immoral to force our great-grandchilden to pay off our debt.
Add this amount to the $35,000 which every individual already owes, and that increases each individual's debt to $38,000. (What do we owe?)

H.R. 1 is the largest pork barrel spending bill in the history of our country. President Obama has said this bill will create four million new jobs. President Obama is under the impression that we can spend our way out of debt! That's like thinking an alcoholic can drink his way to sobriety!

Examples:
$20 million "for the removal of small- to medium-sized fish passage barriers." (Pg. 45 of Senate Appropriations Committee report: "20,000,000 for the removal of small- to medium-sized fish passage barriers)

$400 million for STD prevention (Pg. 60 of Senate Appropriations Committee report: "CDC estimates that a proximately 19 million new STD infections occur annually in the United States ...The Committee has included $400,000,000 for testing and prevention of these conditions.")

$25 million to rehabilitate off-roading (ATV) trails (Pg. 45 of Senate Appropriations Committee report: "$25,000,000 is for recreation maintenance, especially for rehabilitation of off-road vehicle routes, and $20,000,000 is for trail maintenance and restoration")

$34 million to remodel the Department of Commerce HQ (Pg. 15 of Senate Appropriations Committee report: $34,000,000 for the Department of Commerce renovation and modernization")

$70 million to "Support Supercomputing Activities" for climate research (Pgs. 14-15 of Senate Appropriations Committee Report: $70,000,000 is directed to specifically support supercomputing activities, especially as they relate to climate research)

$150 million for honey bee insurance (Pg. 102 of Senate Appropriations Committee report: "The Secretary shall use up to $ 50,000,000 per year, and $150,000,000 in the case of 2009, from the Trust Fund to provide emergency relief to eligible producers of livestock, honey bees, and farm-raised fish to aid in the reduction of losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires, as determined by the Secretary")

TAKE ACTION!!!

Send your two senators an e-mail and ask them to vote against H.R. 1 when the Senate votes.
Help us get one million e-mails to the Senate by forwarding this message to your friends and family.

See some other "job creating" programs this one trillion dollars will support.

GOP United, Dems Will Take Full Responsibility

2009-01-28T18:09:00.000-08:00

Today was another historic day in the first 100 days of the Obama adminstration as the Democratic controlled House voted to give away $800,000,000,000 in funds intended to somehow ignite our struggling economy. Maybe I missed something, but I have always been told when in debt, getting more debt is NOT the method by which you get OUT of debt....

As Rep. Roscoe Bartlett said, "Mr. President, I think our obsessive borrowing has fully mortgaged my kids and my grandkids. Now we're working on mortgaging my two great-grandkids. Mr. President, I think it's more than a little bit selfish to try to solve our economic problems which we created by burdening future generations yet to be born!"

For those that voted for Obama and to those that see liberal spending as the answer to all things, if this plan fails (history has shown this approach will) it will be on YOUR shoes. The Dems caused the begining of this economic crisis by pushing laws that required banks give home ownership to people who don't pay thier bills. Now the Dems are going to give companies that have proven their inability to produce profit centers even more money!

Does any of this make sense?

No one has bailed out my company during the tough times we have had! We have to had make our own way in order to survive and THAT IS the American way!

Conservatives have united, thanks to every member of the GOP that voted against this "bailout" today.

Let's make sure we remember this day...

These Stats Make It Clear

2009-01-24T14:41:00.000-08:00

This is from an email I received this week and it will BLOW your mind how Obama won the Presidency.

Some unreported stats about the 2008 election: Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, MN , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:

- Number of States won by Parties: Democrats - 20; Republicans - 30

- Square miles of land won by Parties: Democrats - 580,000; Republicans - 2,427,000

- Population of the counties won by Parties: Democrats - 127 million; Republicans - 143 million

- Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by Parties: Democrats - 13.2; Republicans - 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. From the attachment, notice that only in the states of Alaska and Oklahoma where all counties were won by McCain/Palin.

Obama Administration Showing True Colors in First Week

2009-01-23T14:32:00.000-08:00

Whew.

Well, in less than a full week, Obama's first week certainly gave us clear indications of his plans for our nation - more spending, higher taxes, freedom for terrorists, stem cell research and use, more government abortion funding, more abortions, weak defense moves, more questionable administration members, warning GOP members to ignore people like Rush Limbaugh, and shows anger at his VP and a few reporters.

This man has no clue what he is doing as our President! He has never run anything and it is showing in just his first 5 days. It is already even more apparent that he won this election based on skin color and nothing more.

Even though I am appauled at the lack of respect our new President showed for Mr. Bush in his "copy-cat" inauguration speech Tuesday (and the booing people gave Mr. Bush), I had high hopes President Obama would at least take some time to settle in.

Nope. Not gonna do it...

If this any sign of things to come he might just do alot of damage to our incredible nation in the next four years. Conservatisim needs to rise now!

Stay tuned. More on the way.

History Has Been Made - One Way or the Other

2009-01-20T01:00:00.000-08:00

Today history will be made.

No matter how you voted in 2008, today America takes a big step by inaugurating Barack Obama as the first African-American as President.

At 12:00 pm EST America will begin to change.

The problem is, the change coming does not look good. Look for an increase in taxes, spending, weaker defense, more acceptance of homosexuality, less moral accountability, rampant liberal agendas, liberal Judges, corrupt government officials and certainly more abortions. Sunday was "Sanctity of Life" day, yet starting today it is likely this administration will allow even more than then 1.3 million that already occur each year in this nation.

Tonight there will be a party in the streets of washington that will make MTV look tame. Maybe Brooke and Wild On E! will show up...

In the 3 months since he became President-elect we have heard nothing but controversy already. Everyone he knows seems to have some kind of track record - corruption, fraud, socialistic ties, non-tax payers, immorality, strong liberal agendas, terrorists, racist pastors, you name it. Everyone this man seems tied to is questionable.

If he were a conservative candidate, he would have been run out of town for having even just a few of these connections. But he wasn't. Obama is lovable, gives good speeches, says all the right things, spent nearly 1 billion for adds, promises the world, and stands for nothing but everything so all people will like him. And people have emotionally fallen for it hook-line-and-sinker.

He has the celebrities, most of the media and even support from over 40% of those that call themselves Christians.

I am not trying to be a doomsayer. God is still in control even of Obama. But truth is God may very well allow us to lie in the bed we made by voting this man into office. Sometimes God does just that.

Heaven help us.

It is time we strive that conservative, Christian values are not lost forever. We must watch this administration like a hawk, prepare now for 2012 and pray like never before.

Maybe in 4 years we can get REAL CHANGE in the Whitehouse.

Until then, we pray, we hope and we dream. God Bless America.

More to come when the election winds once again blow...

Just Another In a Long List

2008-12-10T06:12:00.000-08:00

Today's news will be the popular headlines for the next four years, as we learn more and more about the quality and character of the people Obama knows, associates and calls friends.

Of all things, yesterday, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested by the FBI for attempting to SELL the Senate position left vacant by Obama.

Obama may not have "known him personally" but his people did. I have been saying this for months now.....Barack Obama surrounds himself with people who lack values, morals and ethics. A few of them are now in jail.

Most parents have taught their children to be careful who you hang out - you can be guilty by association. I guess Obama's didn't.

Apparently, Obama will continue to get the benefit of the doubt.

I'm Laughing My Butt Off!!!

2008-11-15T08:13:00.000-08:00

LMBO!!!!!

So, Obama....the "agent of change". The candidate who was going to give Washington a "new look" and "new direction" and do things a "new way"....has already named more than 3 FORMER Clinton and DC longtimers to his administration! Hillary is likely to be next.

So much for that! Ha! You call this change? Welcome back the Clinton 90's Whitehouse politics. More of the same...

The 63,000,000 of you that voted for this guy have already been had nearly 3 months before he officially gains the office!

I laugh in your general direction.

Turning a New Leaf

2008-11-11T17:32:00.000-08:00

After spending some time in the Ozarks last weekend with my wife away from it all, I have had a chance to reflect, regain some hope, and mentally decide "yes, it is worth it all!". Conservative Light is in fact alive and well, though posts will certainly be minimal until our next round of elections. Truth is I enjoy it, many people seem to agree, and others like to debate me in emails. Makes for a lot of fun, and what else do I have to do but work on my business, be a father to three, a husband, an active church member and keep up my other blogs? Without this I might get bored...

A week ago the people of this nation made their selection of who would be the next President of the greatest nation in the world. Barack Obama is now our man, at least for the next 4 years.

Despite our efforts, the GOP failed to win enough votes. Sadly, nearly 40% of those that call themselves "Christians" voted for a man that supports abortions to the extreme. The fact that so many did makes me question their true faith in Christ. God may not care about our health care, taxes, or our economy, but He certainly cares about life. Christians failed America last Tuesday night by selecting a candidate based on political party affiliation, race or other external factors. Had half of them voted for the party that respects and values life, McCain would be getting ready for the Whitehouse. But I digress. More on that topic will come in another post soon.

Thankfully, true conservatism is not dead. In many states, votes were cast that supported conservative, biblical values, such as the anti-gay marriage law passed in California. It is true, most Americans see themselves as "center-right" people. Liberalism is a fad that runs with Hollywood types, the media pundits and poorer people. Most people in American still value conservative ideals such as respecting life, keeping taxes low, keeping government small, reducing government spending, respecting religious freedoms, and having a strong military. Thankfully, McCain/Palin got over 50,000,000 votes for values like these they supported.

Obama simply had all the money, all the media support, the race factor, the great speaking ability, youthfulness and looks. McCain appeared old, out-of-touch, unwilling to fight, and had 1/10th of the money to spend.

Our hopes rely on the fact that we can still filibuster Congressional moves we don't like, and that we have revived our party. 2010 and 2012 will give us a chance to retake more seats in Congress and maybe win back the Whitehouse.

Already Obama is backing off of campaign promises, just like Clinton did in the 90s, and preparing his followers to swallow the idea that his hands are tied due to the economy. Just get ready. Raising taxes on nearly everyone is likely soon to follow. Even Senate majority leader Pelosi stated that Obama is coming in as the President with the highest expectations of any other. He can thank the liberal media platform he was given for that.

Regardless, the truth is, as conservatives now in the minority, we must embrace our new leader and respect the position if nothing else. We must pray for and support him when he is right. We must pray for and debate him when he is wrong. Above all, we must hold him accountable over the next 4 years of all of the promises he made that won him this election. (my list of those will be forthcoming).

Our nation depends on conservatives and the GOP and we need to prepare ourselves for a comeback once Obamamania begins to dwindle. The GOP needs to get younger, more active, more energetic, attract younger followers, clearly define our moral and political stances on issues and above all pray for God to help us save our nation from the moral decay liberalism always seems to bring with it.

Best of all, God is in control, even of Obama. Let's just pray God doesn't allow us to sleep in the bed we just made.

Liberalism Has Taken Over America

2008-11-04T23:59:00.000-08:00

May we pray God forgives us for allowing more abortions, taking from one and giving to another, immoral values such as homosexuality, government controlled healthcare, fewer religious freedoms and the intolerance of Christianity.

Just watch. All of that and more is coming. America has made her bed and she is about to lie in it. Unfortunately for me and the other 52,000,000 Americans that voted for McCain we have to share that same bed.

Keep an eye out for the Fairness Doctrine, the Freedom of Choice Act, and more. And when those things occur let it remind those of you who voted for Obama that you will be partially to blame for the moral decay of our country. Not mention the economy that is going to get worse because companies like mine will have to reduce staff, the increased spending we are about to see, the decrease in our defenses and the inclusion of even more islamic values.

So long and goodnight....at least until 2012.

2008-11-03T00:01:00.000-08:00

In a matter of hours voters in this nation are going to make history. Either the first African American will be our President or a woman will be our first Vice President.

The question is a matter of which is the best history for us to make. For months I have promoted and shared the truths on my political blog concerning this election and many people have commented, argued or supported my takes. But time is at hand and now we cast our votes. The truth is real simple. Our nation can be bought by an inexperienced candidate that promises to change things he has never attempted, who seems to repudiate the Constitution and apologizes for America, who has raised over $600,000,000 dollars in order to buy votes, who stages huge rallies and has the support of Hollywood and nearly every media outlet. Or, we can elect an American Hero and Governor team with decades of experience and a track record of REAL change.

Let me break down the choices in simple terms:

It is truly the ZERO vs. the HERO.

Obama will raise your taxes despite what he says, just like Clinton did. He cannot do all he promises without us ALL paying for it.
Obama will increase government spending and the overall national debt
Obama will elect 2-3 liberal judges that will keep infanticide and abortion legal for decades more
Obama will have unbridled and complete control of the government with a democratic House and Senate
Obama will be the most liberal President we have ever had
Obama will reduce our defense program during a time of war by 25%
Obama will increase the size of government and put even more restrictions in our lives
Obama will “share the wealth” and bring socialistic philosophies to the Whitehouse

McCain/Palin will keep taxes at current levels.
McCain/Palin will elect conservative judges that will likely end abortion!
McCain/Palin will have balanced powers with the democratic House and Senate
McCain/Palin will be a new form of conservatism
McCain/Palin will stand up to our enemies and ensure we win the war
McCain/Palin will decrease government spending
McCain/Palin will reduce the size of governments
McCain/Palin will help the economy by supporting small businesses

We have a choice. I pray we make the right one.

I have done all I can to help save the country I love from a party platform that is poised to change our nation forever.

ConservativeLight is resting its case….for now.

Please pass this on and go Vote.

He Can't Even Take Care of His Own...

2008-11-01T05:42:00.000-07:00

Obama talks such a big game about us being "our brother's keeper" and that we ALL have an obligation to "share the wealth". His running mate Biden claims it is our patriotic "duty" to pay more in taxes.

Why? They claim it is so those with little can have more by taking away from those who have a lot.

Problem is, Obama cannot even take care of his own!

His brother lives in a shack in Kenya living on less than a dollar a month. It was discovered yesterday that his Aunt lives in a slum in Boston. Today, it is revelaed that she is in the country illegally of all things.!

Mr. Community Servant himself doesn't even reach out to his own flesh and blood...

If Obama cannot even take care of his own (he is a muti-millionaire), how we are to believe his promises to take care of the rest of those in America? He won't. He is simply saying what he needs to say to get votes...just like every politician before him. He claims to be an agent of "change" but he is a wolf in sheeps clothing, my friend. The sad thing is if more than 50% of Americans act as stupid as it appears they might and actually vote for his man, he could be our leader in a matter of hours.

The only bill this man really proposed in Congresss was a bill that would send nearly $1billion overseas to help poor people. Yet, we have people like HIS OWN FAMILY HERE that he doesn't even bother to stop and help.

Shame on you Obama. In my world we call this hypocrisy.

Where Are the Investigative Reports?

For decades Presidential candidates have been pulled through the proverbial door of investigative reporters as they announced their intention to run for Office. Few have made it beyond a few months and for those that have been party Nominees, the investigations and scrutiny usually get much more intense.

That is until now.

Other than the Fox News Channel and some popular radio talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannidy, few pundits or "news entities" have even remotely come close to putting Barack Obama under the expected and deserved microscope of character, beliefs, judgment and experience. It is almost shocking to watch media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, other mainstream outlets and almost every most popular news anchor as they all have let Obamamania cloud their own professional and ethical duties.

Back in 2004 the media spent weeks looking into President Bush's past military experience with the National Guard claiming it was "news worthy". Weeks mind you. They have recently spent weeks trying to dig up information on Governor Palin over her dealings with the firing of her brother-in-law in Alaska. If such issues are deemed "news worthy" and "the public has a right to know" how is it then that this same media can ignore the incredible list of even more glaring issues and concerns over Barack Obama?

This man has been tied to former terrorists (both domestic and international), his family background is highly confusing, his legitimate birth story is questionable, he even stated in his own autobiography he trained himself to think like a Marxist, he has ties to figures who have since been found guilty of fraud such as Rezko, he has received financial support from radical groups in other nations which if even indirectly is highly illegal for a Presidential candidate, he is friends or "associates" with people that spew racial slurs and hate against America including his own pastor of over 20 years, he has used money to gain the lead in the race to the tune of nearly $1billion dollars, he has less than 3 years experience of any kind and even that time was spent on his own career as he voted "present" most of the time, he is not shy about being an extreme liberal with redistribution beliefs, he questions our very Constitution and there is MUCH more I could list.

Yet the news CNN and the like choose to spend their money and time on is how McCain rallies are supposedly full of anger and hate or how much money the GOP spent on the wardrobe of Sarah Palin? I mean come on! Are you serious?

Evidently people like me demanding these issues be asked and looked into, are merely "full of hate" and our intentions are racially motivated. But truth is history shows, as do recent social polls, that the media reports more favorable news about Obama than McCain. Obama's track record or connections are rarely questioned yet McCain and Palin are given little if any slack. I was even told by one commentor today that "I am being judgmental" by daring to ask such questions about this man. Since when did asking honest, investigative questions become an issue of "judging someone"? I am no judge, I am simply an American who has a right to know who it is that might potential be telling me what to do.

Can you imagine if McCain was the one with the past Obama has? It would be a ruthless, hourly attack that he likely would not survive.

Yet, Obama is a man that wants to control the most powerful office in the world and these "reporters" refuse to even dig deeper than asking a few surface level questions at best?

Today the LA Times reported they have in their possession a video of Obama at a 2003 farewell party praising the likes of Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist and anti-Jewish supporter. Apparently Obama is said to have "showered the man with praises" and spoken "highly of the man". Read it here:

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/28/la-times-refuses-release-tape-obama-praising-controversial-activist/

Where are the 20/20 Investigative reports? Where is ABC's Charles Gibson and his demeaning stare behind those glasses? Where is CNN's Wolf Blitzer and the "Situation Room"? Where is the NBC Dateline report? Where are the local news reports, the newspaper special editions or the magazine inside scoops? They are too focused on Palin's clothes, McCain's rallies or President Bush who is on his way out anyway.

They are guilty of investigative omission; failure to report on stories with facts they are fully aware of.

Without FoxNews and the likes of Rush and Hannidy, not even I would know the truth. In the meantime, their failure to report could be the result of us having one of the most inexperienced, radical, big spending, infanticide, liberal, anti-American President in history.

Two Issues Being Ignored - Christians Beware!

2008-10-27T21:24:00.000-07:00

In a matter of days the most important spiritual/moral election in our recent history will take place. Many are still trying to decide and many call themselves Christians. We have heard alot about the economy, energy, healthcare and national defense.

Putting the party platforms aside and ignoring the scary connections to questionable people Obama is friends with, there are really only two issues that a Christian needs to consider regarding this Presidential election. And both of these have huge moral and spiritual consequences should we choose wrongly.

1. Supreme Court Justice Selection – more than likely the next President will elect 1-2 (if not more) Supreme Court Justices. These judges dictate the laws of our nation. The more liberal those judges are, the more likely it will be that our religious freedoms and Christ-like, Biblical-based values will be under even more attack. These judges serve for life or until they retire which could be a catastrophe of historic proportions if Obama is elected and has a democratic controlled congress to approve liberal judges. Obama has made it clear he will nominate such judges. God help us all if this happens and we turn even further away from God because of even more liberal judicial decisions.

2. Abortion – Not only is Obama pro-abortion, but he is even more pro-abortion than others such as Hillary Clinton! He refused to sign a bill recently that would allow doctors to help a baby that survived an abortion and was still alive, thus requiring the doctors and nurses to watch babies who are now OUT-OF-THE-WOMB starve and die a painful death. In 2003, Obama prevented the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) from even getting a hearing in the Senate. BAIPA stated that all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted. Obama was literrally one of a FEW senators that refused to sign this legislation. Even the most staunch abortion rights people said that allowing these babies to die was horrible. This is murder at the highest level (these babies are out of the womb!) and until America overturns our abortion laws we will see God’s hand continue to be removed from our nation. This is why the first item (Judges) is so important!

Anyone that calls themself a Christian that could sit there and watch a baby struggle to breathe, without water or food or attention, sometimes for hours before they die, does not know the Jesus I know that gave His own life for us. To support a man that has no desire to end this horrible infantcide and stands in favor of other abortion rights laws is completely irresponsible.

If you are a true Christian – that is a follower of Christ, and somehow you have talked yourself into supporting Obama and excusing his liberal stances that are in direct conflict to the Biblical values all true Christians are called to follow, then you, my friend, are being deceived. You either believe in God’s word or you don’t. It is that simple. The Bible clearly warns us all to be cautious of smooth talking leaders and teachers!

I read recently about a local pastor in the DFW area that basically said from the pulpit what I just stated above. His congregation is highly diverse and many are black. All of them profess to know the Lord and trust in Christ. Yet, after he made those comments (which are all very Biblical and true) nearly every black person stood up and left his church that day.

I wasn’t surprised. Too many Christians today allow faith to be secondary to race, politics, and social tolerance.

Pass this on, make sure you vote and as a believer, DON'T BE SILENT!!!

This election is too important for those of us that truly follow Christ to sit idly by and wait for all hell to break loose and if Obama wins, it will.

"For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people." Romans 16:18

Obama Repudiates Our Own Constitution SEVEN YEARS AGO!

2008-10-27T12:51:00.001-07:00

Over seven years ago, Barack Obama, the man some are already calling a "great President" though he has not even won or done anything yet, made it very clear that his agenda was socialistic in nature by refutting our own Constitution and saying it lacked doing more to even things out from person to person.

In so many words, he would change the Constitution if he could.

A leopard might change what he says, but he can't change his spots, which is who he is. This IS who he is and who he has been since he started his political career. Don't be fooled by him trying to dismiss what he said or thought. He still thinks that way.

Listen for yourself and read between the lines what this man REALLY believes.

P.S. Pay attention next time to Obama speaks and see if he ever mentions anything about freedom, greatness, success or achievement. You won't hear it. He is all about the one who deserves it all giving it to those who deserve none.

If We Elect Obama, We Deserve What We Get

2008-10-24T19:58:00.000-07:00

I really don't believe there has ever been an election quite like this one. Sure, there have always been two or more sides to a U.S. Presidential election and most of the times those candidates were far apart in terms of values and philosophy.

But never before has a candidate had the media coverage and the money available like Barack Obama has had over the last 6 months.

Something has smelled funny about this from the start.

Obamamania has depleted millions of Americans with any sense of reason or judgement. Their brain cells are being eaten alive with the Barack Flavor of the Month. Day after I day I talk to people supporting this man, and none can really tell me anything more than something like this, "I just like the way he says things. I think we need change...."

Barf.

Give me something to chew on people! This man has done nothing but give good speeches. Sure he has the media in his corner along with most celebrities, but when have we as a people ever trusted either of those groups in determining who the person should be that would have the most powerful position in the world?

People I know who actually stop and think about the issues come back to one thing for sure: Obama is good speaker, and he is probably a good man, but he is not ready to lead our nation and he is certainly too liberal for even most good democrats.

If in a matter of days this country elects a man who has less experience than the woman the GOP has on the ticket as the VICE PRESIDENT, then this nation will get what it deserves:

bigger spending
higher prices
socialized programs
higher taxes
more government regulations
weaker defense
a loss in Iraq
more abortions
infanticide
liberal Supreme Court justices
and much, much more

If that happens, God save us.

VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN NOW!

Not Sure if This is True, BUT If It Is....

2008-10-22T08:08:00.000-07:00

This story was reported by Mark Davis today on WBAP in regards to Obamas true citizenship. A lifelong Democratic attorney from PA field this lawsuit and it is pending now. Check it out!

Can you imagine if John McCain sent investigators out to find dirt on Obama's running mate, if the VP candidate was a woman?
Can you imagine if John McCain once said public funding laws for elections needed serious revisions yet just months later announced he himself had raised over $600,000,000 to spend in order to buy the Whitehouse?
Can you imagine if John McCain had claimed to be the candidate of change in Washington, only to choose as his running mate a Washington insider of over 30 years?
Can you imagine the outrage if John McCain was getting all mostly nothing but positive stories from all main stream media sources and Obama was getting slighted?
Can you imagine if John McCain had all of these questionable issues surrounding the people he knew, his background and his beliefs yet few main stream media sources even asked about it?
Can you imagine if John McCain had sat under the teachings of a pastor like Rev. Wright for over 20 years?
Can you imagine if John McCain was getting public endorsements from the likes of Omar Kadafi, Kenya gang leaders, and Louis Farrakhan among others?

Replace “John McCain” with “Barack Obama” and it won’t be just your imagination anymore.

Want an Obamanation? Then Get Ready For These Things...

2008-10-18T19:28:00.000-07:00

1. More abortions and infantcide!
2. Higher taxes on most people.
3. Fewer jobs and more layoffs. (business owners are not going to cut themselves if their taxes are raised! They will simply cut the very people that voted for Obama!)
4. Higher consumer prices. (same as above, companies will simply pass the tax increases on to the consumer market)
5. More national debt.
6. Weaker defense.
7. Bigger more controlling government.
8. Even more governmental spending.
9. Even more Washington corruption (just take a look at the people Obama knows that are under investgation already)
10. A loss in the Iraq war.
11. More to come....

John McCain Can Win

2008-10-15T19:18:00.000-07:00

Everything is against John McCain winning this election.

He is being portrayed by the media as an old, out-of-touch man, rather than a real American hero.

He is being out-spent by Barack Obama 4 to 1! (Obama choose to accept public funds despite all of his "campaign reforms" he claims to support)

He and Palin are hated by the media pundits.

He and Palin are hated by Hollywood.

He isn't a true conservative, though he has since adopted most conservative values.

He has to carry the baggage of President Bush.

He isn't the eloquent speaker Obama is.

He gets very little positive media coverage, yet the media continues to have a very slanted, love/drool fest over Obama.

Obama may be the first President truly elected by the media, but McCain has real followers, who know the truths about who Obama is.

If we get out the vote, he can still win it!

Along with Other Things, Obama is a Socialist

2008-10-13T19:06:00.001-07:00

Unless you live under a rock and deny the various truths finally starting to be being exposed about the real Barack Obama, you cannot deny that this man is a liberal politician with socialistic ties and values.

Now he admits to a self-employed plumber that he simply wants American's to "share the wealth". In his world, "sharing" is really a politically correct attempt to promote socialism and re-distribution of wealth. Thankfully, his own mouth proved it so today.

The America we know and love is going to drastically change if we allow the media and those that refuse to look at who he really is elect this man.

Here he is IN HIS OWN WORDS!

Yet More Incredible Revelations About Obama and His Peeps

2008-10-04T08:03:00.001-07:00

Get angry if you want. Take me off your Christmas card list if need be. I love my country too much to not help expose the truths behind the Obamamania taking over our nation. This is not about hate, this is about facts we all need to consider before allowing this man to win this election and hold the most power of any national leader in the free world.

READ BELOW:

(From an Ed Scholes forwarded email) Even if you don't read it all, go to the end paragraph.
Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.

1. Franklin Raines - was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregulaties in Fannie Mae's accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ' Raines, who long defended the company's accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn't proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that 'mistakes were made' and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company's books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.' Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion. Raines left with a 'golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits.

The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ . The Government noted, The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.' These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.

2. Tim Howard - Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard 'was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a 'stable pattern of earnings' at Fannie. In everyday English - he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae. On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant's income statement to achieve management pay bonuses.

Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses.Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

3. Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you'll see some interesting things about John son. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of John son's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.' John son is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

TIM HOWARD? Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON? Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS - HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE - THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street ?

Apparently the Obama supporters think so...

The Democrats Ignored the Financial Crisis, Now They Blame Us

2008-09-29T18:27:00.000-07:00

Funny how the liberal left really operates. For years the GOP and President Bush have warned of the possible failures of the financial system, specifically Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Now all the Dems do is spew political rhetoric in trying to blame it all on the President. It's the easy thing to do....blame it on the gone who's on his way out.

Trust me, this failure is 100% about the liberals letting people who don't have the creditworthiness to buy home a home do so while the rest of us pay for it.

Don't believe me? Watch this from 2004.

Why This Blog. Why Now. A Reminder of Why.

2008-09-27T20:02:00.000-07:00

From January 1, 2008:

Yes, I am a proud 38 year old conservative American. I live in Texas, along with my hot wife, twin daughters, a son and two dogs to boot.

I have a Master's Degree from Baylor. I was raised a Christian and attend church regularly. I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only true Savior.

I own my own business and have worked hard at being an entrepreneur since I was in college. I earn more than most but everything I have now I have built with the help of my business partner and hard work. We started the company with $10,000 and no outside investors. Everything we have we have earned.

I am tired of high taxes, the legal murdering of babies every day, liberals who appear to have no brains, the Clinton's, Americans who have forgotten 3,000 people died on 911, governmental handouts, irresponsible adults who think the government is their parental support system, weak policies towards terrorists, intolerance towards Christianity, racism, slackers who do nothing but get everything for free and liberal judicial decisions handed down by the Supreme Court and the lame 9th Court of Appeals.

Mostly, I am tired of dumb Americans who vote for who looks good, sounds good, those the celebs in Hollywood endorse and those that make promises only Jesus himself could fulfill.

The America of today is in no shape or form the America our founding fathers dreamed it would be. Intolerance towards Christians, abortion, high taxes, prayer, the Bible and God Himself banned from schools, big government, illegal immigration, and weak foreign policies towards those that have murdered fellow Americans were not on the list of "Our Dream for this Nation" when they left England. The are rolling over in their graves each and every sunrise.

It is time true conservatives rise, ban together and take this nation back by storm. The Whitehouse needs to be whitewashed with a new hope of CONSERVATIVE change.

Hence, Conservative Light has been born.

PART ONE:

Something Not Exactly Right About Obama

2008-09-12T18:49:00.000-07:00

*** adapted from a email*** this is not about hate or about attacking someone. This is about KNOWING who a person really is that is running for the most powerful position in the world. We have a right to know the truth behind any candidate!

How about checking these out and see who is really running for President of the USA or maybe a lot of Americans just don't care who is President or even vote for that matter. Pass this on to everyone you have on your email and let them see the Real truth....let's all Get out and Register and Vote.............your vote Does count!!!!!

Just in case you weren't aware of Obama's Not Exactlys (links provided so you can verify as you deem appropriate):

1.) "Selma March Got Me Born" - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) "Father Was A Goat Herder" - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) "Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter" - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) "My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom" - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter... Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) "My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian" - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).

7.) "I Never Practiced Islam" - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.

8.) "My School In Indonesia Was Christian" - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).

February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9.) "I Was Fluent In Indonesian" - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) "Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience" - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

11.) "I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs" - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

12.) "I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion" - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine

13.) "An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office" - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

14.) "A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life" - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

15.) "I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08" - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) "Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate" - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) "Oops, I Misvoted" - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

18.) "I Was A Professor Of Law" - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

19.) "I Was A Constitutional Lawyer" - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) "Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill" - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it or create it.

21.) "The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass" - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) "I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill" - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) "I Have Released My State Records" - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

24.) "I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess" - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) "My Economics Bill Will Help America" - NOT EXACTLY, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

26.) "I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois" -NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) "I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year" - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) "No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA" - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

Obama Admits Having a Muslim Faith

He claims he is both a Christian and a Muslim. Isn't that like saying you love the Yankees and the Red Sox? Give me a break.

Palin Gives Acceptance Speech for History Books

2008-09-03T20:47:00.000-07:00

Palin Power is in full effect.

Marching down from her small town home in Alaska, Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin accepted the Republican nomination tonight in a rousing, speech of the ages in defense of her political career and experience and in bold support of Presidential candidate John S McCain.

When the speech was over one FoxNews political analyst told a democratic campaign strategist, "Democrats, you've got problems."

Zero vs. Hero" came to the forefront as a new campaign slogan as Palin, matching the eloquence of Barack Obama stride for stride, made serious stabs to the Barack campaign all while smiling like a local PTA mother of five. Her jabs were funny, true and delivered with such a punch that even the most blind, left-winged liberal would have to bow down in honor of the greatness of her delivery.

Sorry Hillary, your self-centered run is over. It's Palin Power time.

I can only hope I can instill in my two daughters the kind of will, determination, strength, posture and resolve this wife and mother of five is demonstrating to the women of the world.

She should inspire everyone.

Yes, you can, Sarah Palin. You go girl.

"Some politicians use 'change' to promote their careers, while others use their careers to promote change" - Gov. Sarah Palin (AK), September 3, 2008.

Let the battle begin.

McCain Will Win Whitehouse Just Like Bush 20 Years Ago

2008-09-01T08:38:00.000-07:00

It is 1988 all over again and my prediction is McCain will win the Whitehouse by a similar margin of victory as George Bush did over Michael Dukakis with about 53-54% of the popular vote.

America was ready for a "change" in 1988. Though Reagan was loved by most, his 8 years ended with conflicts and controversies much like the administration of George W. Bush will this year. Bush Sr. had a tough job, but in the end, Americans made the smart choice and voted to allow the Republican party to retain the Whitehouse for "4 more years". Dukakis was popular, had tons of celebrity support, but just wasn't ready to lead the greatest nation in the world.

This year it will be dejavu all over again.

McCain is simply the smartest choice and when push comes to shove enough people with brains will turn out and make the wise decision. Yes, there are a lot of ignorant people in this country that have fallen into a state of psychotic obamanaia (including Oprah) that will vote for him, but let your heart not be troubled.

A motivational speaker, who is using his skin color to gain votes, who can make celebrities weep their eyelids off, that refuses to even salute or shake the hands of soldiers in Iraq, that attended a church for 20 years whose pastor spews nothing but racial hate and anger towards this amazing nation, who does nothing but complain about how bad America is or apologizes to the world for America, and appears to lack true patriotism just won't be chosen by the majority of people in this country.

Remember, America is still a center-right leaning country. Most are either conservative and moderates in their thinking. Obama is one of the most liberal candidates in American history.

Here are the top reasons why Obama cannot and will not win this election:

1. Americans are generally proud of their country. Obama appears to lack true patriotism.
2. Though most want the Iraq war to end we cannot fail now. Pulling out early would waste 5 years of work, demean the lives that have been lost, and send a signal of weakness to the world.
3. His foreign policy of meeting with insane national leaders is just...well...insane. You cannot rationalize or befriend people who train their people to strap bombs to themselves, children and desire to destroy America and Israel.
4. His lack of experience. He has none. McCain's vice presidential running mate has tons more experience than Obama does. She has been a mayor, a corporate executive and even a state governor. He has been a senator for just a few years and spent most of that time not casting votes and working on his campaign to become president.
5. His celebrity following and Messiah like complex will turn most away. Filling up a football stadium for a superbowl-like meeting was cool, but his ego and Hollywood support will drive millions away from him. Being label as "the One we have been waiting for" is just too over the top for most.
6. Obama is connected to too many racists, terrorists and other people with legal, moral and/or ethical issues. They include Khalidi, Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Farrakhan, and others from Kenya.
7. Biden will say something stupid. Simple as that.
8. He is simply too liberal. He wants to reduce our military, control guns, silence the free speech of talk radio, bring nationalized controlled health care, increase taxes, increase spending to pay for all of his promises, redistribute earnings and wealth so that all Americans are equal, place liberal judges onto the Supreme Court and much, much more.
9. He has not provided details on HOW he will do all he promises. Those are some big promises and none of them are free. It appears he does not really have a plan. He is just saying what people want to hear.
10. He will make the government bigger. The government rarely does anything better than the private sector, which is why the best schools, hospitals and organizations are non-government entities.
11. He supports late term and even partial birth abortions and suggested his daughters would have one if they ever got pregnant as a teen saying, "But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby". Wow. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/348569.aspx
12. He will fail and flop in the debates. Just review the Saddleback Civil Forum for how McCain will do against the too-concerned-about-being-politically-correct Obama. Not to mention Obama has no experience to draw on to answer questions. McCain should slaughter him.
13. McCain will now be seen as the real agent of change in Washington by selecting Palin as his running mate. Barack was supposed to be this new candidate who was going to bring non-Washington likes to the world of Washington politics. Instead Obama has suddenly become the same ol' same ol' Democratic candidate, who just sounds more exciting than others in the past and just so happens to be black. He selected a running mate who has been entrenched in DC for decades. Nothing else is really any different than those before him. All spewed about how bad America was and how we needed change. Blah, blah, blah.
14. Obama's "change" platform is nothing new and eerily similar to the campaign words of McGovern, Carter, Dukakis, Gore, Clinton and Kerry. All lost or are regarded by most as terrible presidents. Carter was the worst ever.

Here are the reasons we cannot ALLOW him to win:

1. We can overturn Roe vs. Wade and many other terribly unjust and wrong recent Supreme Court decisions with just one more conservative, Constitutionally true judge. The next president will likely nominate two judges. God forbid Obama is given that kind of power.
2. Israel will be the center of the end times, that is clear. But we have a moral and ethical obligation to continue to protect and support Israel. Obama has no real desire or interest in the Jewish nation. He says he does, but what he says and what he believes are two different things. Read his own autobiographies to find out for yourself. Everything he learned from his mentors was anti-Semitic and anti-white America in nature.
3. With Obama the economy would get worse. It is not the nations fault that people bought houses they really could not afford. It is not our fault that people spend too much, save nothing and prepare for little. Yet Obama wants the government to rescue them. That means higher taxes on those that run companies. That equates to jobs being eliminated. I know, I own a company. Those that vote for Obama that work for me would be slitting their own employment throats. I would have to pay higher personal and corporate taxes and I would not fire myself. Duh.
4. Obama wants a highly run governmental health care system that makes Hillarycare look like a conservative system. His is scary. It would never happen even if he got elected, but rather than having to deal with the outside possibility of it he needs to lose. Yes we need some health care and insurance reform but nationalized health care? No. There is not one nation in this world with nationalized health care anyone can find that works and provides the level of care and service privatized health care does. Sorry Michael Moore. You lied yet you made millions off those same dumb people that will vote for Obama.

In summary, McCain is going to win. I just know it.

McCain Steals the Obama Fireworks - Great Day for Conservatives

2008-08-29T12:45:00.001-07:00

Wow. In one swoop, this morning John McCain dropped out of the heavens thought to belong to Obama and stole his mile-high, messiah complex, celebrity filled political superbowl last night, with the surprise selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his female Vice President running mate. It's all the buzz and all everyone is talking about.

Hillary has to be ticked.

The selection of Gov. Palin, and up and coming political figure, is highly respected, appears feisty and ready to take on the challenge. Her selection further removes the argument that this Republican ticket is "same 'ol, same 'ol". McCain is proving he can be a maverick.

Palin is a true working class mom. She is not rich, she is a mother of five (one who is about to go to Iraq), her husband works in the oil fields of Alaska, she has worked in both the private sector and the political arena setting those that are corrupt on their heals. She represents the middle class American woman way more than Hillary in her elitist lifestyle could ever imagine.

What is comical is that now the GOP is the party reflecting real change. We have a Presidential candidate who truly has worked across party lines and his record proves it and now we have a young, exciting female Vice Presidential running mate that is considered a hard core, tough conservative who is far removed from the norm of Washington politics.

In contrast, the Democrats tout a Presidential candidate who has less experience than our VP candidate does, and their Vice Presidential candidate (Joe Biden) is a Washington insider of all things! Barack has done nothing for 17 months but preach how his campaign will be different from all of the rest and how he will change things as a new outsider, yet he selects a running mate who is mired in nothing but the same old Washington politics. Typical Democratic hypocrisy.

What a great day for being a conservative American that believes in freedom of speech, the entrepreneur spirit, the ability to earn significant income, the military power of America, the greatness of our nation and government staying out of the way.

In other news:

1. The Obama campaign is already attacking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as inexperienced. Are they kidding? Barack is running for the Commander in Chief. She is just running as the VP and yet she still has more experience than Obama does. This statement does nothing but come back against him as an ignorant boomerang of friendly fire against himself!

2. Apparently the Democrats are getting worried. Obama did not get 10% the bump in the poles he should have from the DNC and this "outside the box" VP selection by McCain is now all the buzz. Plus, the Republican convention is yet to occur. With Obama barely leading in some polls, and trailing McCain in others, it appears a win could happen for McCain. No Democratic contender has won the election in the last 30 years without being ahead by double digits in the polls over the Republican rival 90 days prior to the general election. On top of that, the face-to-face debates that Obama has refused to partake in will now occur and McCain will likely destroy him and he gets to do so 3 times! It is looking great for McCain.

3. McCain made a slam dunk with the American public because of his responses and sincerity at the Saddleback Civil Forum a few weeks ago. Obama looked nervous, out of place and seemed to worried about being"politically correct" rather than being straight forward about his extreme liberal views.

4. Jimmy Carter has always been a nut. He has only become more ignorant. His latest statement about McCain "milking every advantage" out of his POW experience was stupid, unreal, thoughtless, and did nothing but remind everyone how what a terrible President he was.

More later.

Did You Know Obama Smokes?

2008-08-27T09:19:00.001-07:00

What else do you not know about him?

The Obama campaign is all about image. They believe most Americans will vote based on the emotional appeal of their candidate. He has to always been smiling, say what the crowd in front of him wants to hear, be over the top with kindness, look "messiah like". This is why they hide such truths from us about him. If he is "the One" that can save our world, how can he be seen doing something as negative and unacceptable these days as smoking?

Barack Obama can give good speeches. We will hear one tomorrow night in Denver on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech. But there are many things about Obama, what he believes, who he really is and who he calls friends, that are kept far in the distance by his campaign. His former pastor of 20 years is nothing compared to the others he has known, those he has been taught by and those he has done business with.

Take some time and find out for yourself before you vote. Don't be one of the millions who vote because he can make you cry, feel light headed or stir your belly. Just search "truths about Obama" or read Obamanation by Jerome Corsi. Use your brain and you will see it like all of us level headed people do.

If you don't, it could all go up in smoke if he gets elected.

If He Can't Help His Brother, How Can He Help America?

2008-08-26T09:44:00.001-07:00

Obama does nothing but preach and talk about how bad America is and how much it needs to "change". He trashes America, even using Scripture, by claiming we don't do enough for "the least of these". When asked by Pastor Rick Warren in Saddlebacks Civil Forum a week ago what the nation's biggest moral failure was, he made it clear that we do not do enough for those who cannot help themselves.

Maybe he needs to look in the mirror beore he tells the rest of us how bad we are.

He lives like a millionaire while his own flesh and blood brother lives in a shack in Kenya making a dollar a month! Barack even visited him in 2006 and had the ability to totally change his life, yet he walked way claiming it was a strange meeting. How sad.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2590614/Barack-Obamas-lost-brother-found-in-Kenya.html

Barack Obama is just like all of the other liberal, re-distribution of wealth candidates before him. He wants you and me to share our "wealth" but he won't share his own.
