on progressives

There is a slice of society which thinks very little of the United States and its' standing within the placement of countries around the world worthy of praise. This group seems to have become more vocal since the beginning of the Bush 43 administration. This, "slight" which permeates the progressive liberal wing of society has grown some in size and in the volume which they criticize the country and certain segments of society. First to blame the US and always there to stand with other countries which have decided the US is to blame for all the ills of the world.

I've noticed that this, "appearance of fairness" (blame America) is something these groups seem to want to claim as one of their pillars of righteousness. Regardless of the facts which may show convincing or even absolute proof to contradict claims, these groups continue to decry certain actions of the US even when the actions are of a necessity. Trying to keep America down is no way to bring other countries up in status. Blaming America for the ills of others does not make other countries any more healthy.

America does more for others in this world than any other country on the planet. This country is able to give and do more for others because we have been blessed. In order for us as a country to continue to receive those blessings certain requirements had to be met and maintained by the inhabitants of this great land. This all relates back to the founding of our country and the belief in God that the founders had and that became instilled into those early settlers of this great nation.

I believe the religious influence from those early days and in which a majority of people in America still have is the underlying reason for much of the discontent many progressives have today. To me the complaints of the progressives are more of an attempt to lessen the voice of religious freedom and instill this secular belief system in which they have invested so much time and energy over the years. They will continue to belittle the accomplishments of the country while at the same time try to reduce the influence religion has with the people of this country.

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation

This is from Patriot Post, I thought it appropriate.

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

Hey Bruce!

Wanted to send out a little "stay well" note to my good buddy and fisher-friend Mr Bruce Clack from the great sate of Louisiana. I'm looking forward to one day soon, or maybe sometime thereafter to my heading off into one of the bayou's that are close to him and gathering up a big mess of fish. People, that gathering up of fish is done by fishing for them rascals with a pole which has some type of snack on said hook which entices the fish to snag themselves onto that hook which brings them to the house for cooking. I will definitely put some pictures of that event on line here for all you big game hunters and fishermen to enjoy. Look for that to happen. I don't have the date handy at this time but will let you know when it happens.

left handed rebute

Just wanted to say something about the pundits on TV that oppose the conservative voice and that would be this , their shows depend on whatever comes out of the mouths of, people like Mr. Hannity, O'Reily, Limbaugh, and any Republican member of congress or the senate. Their shows, "liberal left wing-nuts", only deal with going against whatever is said by the conservative voice. If it wasn't for what comes from the mouths of conservative voices, then the left wing liberal media would have absolutely nothing to say. All they can do is to try their hand at turning the tables on the truth to fit their story.

watch out for progressives

This morning while doing some reading and at the same time listening to c-span I kept hearing "progressive". It was basically how good this system of progressive ideas would be for the US. I haven't read enough at this point to explain their system completely but I will do more reading and post on that subject more complete.

At this point I would just suggest that you google progressives and understand just what it is this Democrat party is at their core. Progressive ideas are not any good for the country and I say that because I believe the government does not have the right to control my life from birth through death and tell me what I should and shouldn't do.

I heard Congressman Obey say on C-span that progressives were foiled from their plan by conservative politicians and had it not been for them then all of their dreams of totalitarianism would be in effect this day. Now that is scary my friend, very scary.

votes for sale

With the passing of each day I find myself struggling to find some speck of faith in our congress people. I continue to see their lack of decency by the way they openly sell themselves to the highest bidder. The sad part is there is nothing new in what has been taking place in the halls of congress here of late. They stand out perhaps more now than in past years due to the severity of our financial position caused entirely by those people in congress that have spent without regard to the future. Spending money never intended for the purposes for which this money was wasted. I use the word wasted which is interchangeable with words such as, used/spent/ allocated/directed/depleted/managed/manipulated and on and on but since the word, wasted, fits best I chose it.

So once again people that are supposed to be in charge of hard earned tax money sent in to the tax-man are doing less than a teenager trying to manage money for the first time. The money being wasted in congress is not sustainable and will cause more harm in and to a degree we may not recover from without great damage to the whole of the country. Should we be able to survive through the elections of 2010 and 2012 and we do not remove these thieves and liars from our midst then we may deserve what we end up with at those elections end. God help this country.

the corps and katrina

Here we go again with Katrina. Blame somebody blame anybody but the ones at fault. It is the Damnedest thing with some people about their failure to be responsible for themselves. I hear the blame will be put on the corp of engineers and they want to lay the deaths from the storm on them also, according to the talk on CNN this afternoon. How this can be done is something that I just don't understand. From what I remember about the water from the storm was how this storm was miles wide and pushing water unlike anytime in the past. Now the blame is because the canal wasn't maintained properly the water was allowed to move up into New Orleans and therefore cause all this damage. How about just call the thing like it was, one bad ass storm in a part of the world that lies below sea level and where a bunch of people failed to follow directions to get out, along with a handful of politicians that "straight up" failed to do their jobs.

Get the damn lawyers prepared with their money bags ready, if this continues and the judgement from this past case stands where will the next episode lead? The story goes like this; Once the corps exercised its discretion to create a navigational channel, it was obligated to make sure that channel did not destroy the environment surrounding it thereby creating a hazard to life and property.” I think this is a wrong decision blaming the corp as has been done in this case.

It continues

Just caught a few minutes of one of the liberal pundits Joy Bayhart or however her name is spelled talking about who else but, Sarah Palin. The guests she had were two other liberal women and they near broke their tongues trying to see who could out hate and bad mouth Palin. Everything from her looks to her kids were on the agenda for criticisms. They (liberals) cannot stand this woman and their hatred for Sarah Palin is almost as virulent as it was for Bush and Cheney. There is also a tremendous amount of jealousy that comes from the liberal women and it shows plainly. They see the raw beauty of a woman that has a career and still puts her family first and they cannot stand that fact not to mention that she can still draw more people to a rally than any of their people could hope to do. The liberals can't figure this out and it drives them crazy.

There will be a lot of this hateful stuff coming out of the liberal wing of politics for the next few years. There won't be any let up and I look for it to get really severe and worse than anything we have seen in many years because these people hate this woman from Alaska with more passion that imaginable. I look forward to the coming years so I can sit and watch Sarah play her opponents like a cheap guitar.

Simply Sarah

This would be a short few lines to bring up Sarah again. The media has made so many derogatory statements about Sarah and proclaimed how incompetent she is, has also repeatedly said the republicans would be beyond stupid to back her in a run for president. So many different voices of prominence both within the media and politicians as well have given their 2 cents explaining that her lack of knowledge shows that she just isn't ready for prime time.

Across the land I see something much different from what these great mouthers of words are saying. I see real people doing real jobs and doing real suffering and in the process these people are saying something a lot different that the pundits. I see shoppers in lines at stores counting a handful of coupons making ends meet and stretching every dollar. Many of these real people out here see Sarah as a real person and not like the pundits or politicians that live a life much different.

The pundits are still putting Sarah down and pushing her aside along with those gun-clinging tea-baggers out there in flyover country. I remember when so many of the elite did pretty much the same thing with one of those Hollywood guys, what was his name? er eumm oh yeah! Reagan. Careful what you wish for out there news media folks, you might just end up getting what you ask for by having Ms Palin in a spot of importance in an election soon.

reasons for the trials

Well today I have listened to pundits about the trying of the terrorists in America at ground zero. The stupidity of this administration is beyond any pail. This constant drumbeat from the leftists in this administration and the country about how the trying of these terrorists in a Court of law within the US will somehow vindicate our standing and proclaim our greatness has got to be the most asinine of choices one could imagine should one be actually trying to do justice against the terrorists who perpetrated this great injustice against our country.

I still find it hard to think that, other than bringing up the Bush administration and the war in Iraq and trying to lay whatever blame possible against him and the Republicans in general, there is nothing that the trials of the terrorists in New York are designed for, nothing at all. The terrible thing about all this is that these trials will produce trouble for the citizens of New York and in general the people of this great country. The reason is these bastards going to trial will use this trial and the constitution as a rag and they will do everything in their power to humiliate this country our judicial system and our wonderful way of life.

Watch and see if I'm wrong. When I'm proved right, that will mean that all these pundits going around right now will have been wrong. What will be their punishment in the aftermath of these trials? Will they have to serve time or pay penance or not? I doubt they will. They will continue their same lines of BS with having served no consequences and will continue to berate our country while they proclaim how great Obama is doing while we flounder on the steps of disaster.

just plain stupid trials

A Couple of Congressmen on O'Reilly tonight made it pretty clear to me that the trial for the Guantanamo prisoners will be nothing more than a show trial and will be used mainly to put down the Bush administration. Regardless of what the liberal groups say the facts remain that they mainly want to bring humiliation to the Bush people and not so much worry about the facts concerning the trial for the terrorists.

The world will soon find out the facts about the trials of these people from Guantanamo. The trials will produce scenes showing terrorist nuts proclaiming all sorts of discrimination's from the USA because of their detention. This of course is nothing more than full out lies but because the Obama people want to do damage to the Bush people this charade will continue with the blessings of Obama and his minions.

I hope true patriots will rise in numbers unimagined to show the choice to showcase this trial in New York is wrong and should not be tolerated by citizens of America. You can take Mr. Gerry Rivers aka: Giraldo Rivera and with all his rants still cannot come up with a reason to bring these terrorists here to give their brethren a chance to blow up more Americans or to make a mockery of our judicial system. All the claims from Rivers about how our system can withstand any trial from our enemies are another paper tiger bit of argument for his view. We do not worry about our system being able to give a trial to some nuts. The problem is what damage could be done to the city where these trials are held and to the families of the jury or to the jury members themselves. I just can't believe Obama wants to do this. Need I mention that Obama snuck out of the country before the announcement to bring these "POS" here was made.

foolish promise

Watching the box this morning and I listened to a a member of our esteemed political brainstore as he went into great detail as to why we, as a country, need to bring the terrorists before a civil court rather than a military tribunal. Asked if this was nothing more than some sort of slap back at the Bush folks he of course assured him that absolutely no one in this administration had any remnant of on idea such as that. Yeah?

All the talk and blather about how this country needed to air these trials in our public system because our country needs to prove to the world our problems, (torture/illegal war/desire to preserve our way of life/etc.etc.etc) were caused by the Bush administration and Obama is, the new and improved version of justice. To me it's nothing more than fulfilling a very foolish campaign promise to the extreme left wing radicals of his base. To explain more simply cannot be done.

There is no need to bring these thugs to civilian trial. They will taunt and attempt to make a mockery of the court system not mention the cost of security. I think this would be so stupid because it will give the terrorist abroad or cells in this country the chance to strike us. To give terrorists abroad or sleeper cells in this country a target like these trials would be pure ignorance. For these nuts here in this country, this would be a great opportunity for them to show the world more violence by blowing up things in New York. I just have the feeling that this is wrong to try those people inside this country. Let them stay where they are till they process them through the military system. Got to remember some of these prisoners can't go back to their home country because their home country don't want them back on their soil.

Final statement would be this; To those that support this plan like Obama, AJ Holder, ACLU, and all the liberal Bush haters, "Will you stand up now and proclaim you take full responsibility for the violence that may come due to these trials in this country?"

Health conspiracy

Today the debate begins with the health care bill. One of the items to be discussed is about illegals being allowed to participate in the health care system. Dig this, the Hispanic caucus wants illegals to be able to buy into the system. How can people tolerate this from elected officials? Letting illegals participate in the process while citizens will lose out by having to subsidize those illegals. I don't know how much we are supposed to tolerate before finally just screaming, get their asses out of our country. We have as a nation, given more than what is allowed by the constitution to illegal aliens. It is time to stop the flow of lawbreakers and let them know the game is over and from here on we secure the border, and then make it mandatory to use E-Verify any time the question arises over the eligibility of a citizen.

I find the nerve of some of these special groups in congress like the Hispanic and Black Caucus quite offensive. There is no way in hell a "White Caucus" could do what these two groups do. Not only that, they do it with a straight face as though it is their special little law and people should just step aside. I'm tired of things like this and I hope today once and for all people come together and kill this health bill stuff for the final time. We will see more debt and more loss of jobs if this bill passes.

Hood

The thing about writing something in a blog us that it will sit there and blare out to the world all your words that you take the time to put down. Especially when what you write turns out to be wrong. I am finding out after some more searching that this fellow managed to get up on a table of sorts and had a tremendous advantage over those individuals left to look for cover as this hail of gunshots rained down on them. From some of the latest information I can see the possibility of one man causing all this turmoil. My comparison would be much like fish in a barrel. Although My first reaction may prove out wrong, with these new bits of information coming out, there stands the possibility that Nidal Hasan was alone in this act.

My first indication from news yesterday was that there were only two handguns with no extra clips. Damn I hate to admit my wrongs in public. Oh well all the news isn't out so maybe we'll find out he had more weapons than first mentioned or that he did have extra clips. But now there comes a time for serious thinking about Muslims in the military until more is known. And one other thing, yes I'm prejudiced. Especially when it comes to my military men and women's safety..

Information about Fort Hood Incident

First word is that one individual did all the damage (army issued handguns) at Fort Hood. This cannot be true. That is just unbelievable to me. I have shot some guns in my life and I find it kind of unique that this individual shot 40 something people. I think with the issue of weapons at the base perhaps this guy had a 9 mm and with normal circumstances we are talking 13 or 14 shots in the clip giving 15 rounds to fire. It seems this guy would have to had walked up to the individuals to make this many hits. From my thinking there had to be help from somewhere or there had to be more guns or different that issued involved than just those in this one mans hands.

Watch for more information from the people at Fort Hood to come out in this matter. It seems there had to be more clips or weapons involved than just the pistols (handguns). We will discover the extra information when it become available. This one guy, this Maj. cannot be that good of a shot nor can he be that good at fast reloading. We will learn very soon. Hearts out to those with family involved in this horrible situation.

Trouble in our land

A terrible situation happened at Fort Hood today with the shootings of soldiers and others for some reason unknown at this time. This was an eye opening event and I'm sure it will take on new seriousness at American bases around the world. Investigations will uncover the reasons and from what has taken place today, extra precautions will be put into play. Perhaps an air of complacency has worked itself into our security systems. A system that was never supposed to become "routine". Our military will recover from this awful lesson learned the hard way and hopefully it will never happen again. Our prayers go out to those injured and killed today at Fort Hood, may God bless the survivors and the families of all involved.

"If ... I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
(2 Chronicles 7:13, 7:14)

Perhaps it is time for this nation to humble itself and we all drop to our knees and pray to the creator for his Divine intervention. We as a people can only do so much on our own.

They pay us no heed

They really cannot see what is before their eyes. They cannot hear words that ring out loud. They look down on those they neither hear or see and in that they find much to scoff at while their laughter crosses the airwaves. Among themselves they point, they boast, they ridicule, those things they neither see nor hear. They do not understand those things, yet their laughter and their jeers continue but they do this at their peril.

They cannot see the anger of conservatives and independents and even some democrats. This anger is due to this casual disregard of our constitution by the administration. The anger has risen slowly but as time passes the depth of this anger will increase with each passing day their voices are not heard. People have tried to express to congress their views on how they want the country to be governed. They want restraint leveled against lawmakers because they have abandoned all common sense when it comes to the waste of our tax dollars. Politicians have taken it upon themselves to become more and more involved in matters that belong to the states and more often, to the individual citizen.

This government has overstepped the boundaries clearly indicated in the constitution. Once congress created the Federal Reserve they provided a way for them to spend freely. Since they did not have to have an equal amount of gold to cover that amount of paper money printed up they were now free to spend without care and could now start providing for the citizens and begin to make the citizens dependent on whatever goodies the congress could sneak into some bill. But the FED is just one of the many problems we face today. These congressmen and women
are going to have to be made to listen to the voices of their constituents or they go. More to come.
