A looming crisis

Image via Wikipedia

The time has come for this nation to apply every means possible to secure some type of energy policy that will sustain us through the coming years. But through it all the Obama plan seems to have been to ignore those things that Conservatives wanted, (nuclear & oil) in an effort to appease his radical far left liberal/progressive backers while helping to benefit the union and green movements. With the far left and their view on drilling and nuclear power the outlook for this country will not be good. It brings closer that looming crisis of an energy shortage and extremely high costs involved with the  transportation of food when gasoline and diesel fuel drive those prices through the roof. We can stack windmills on top of one another and put solar panels on the roof of every house in this country but it will not replace our need of fossil fuel and we cannot wish these problems away.

If we don't make it easier to get nuclear plants online and unless we can drill in all areas that have a reasonable chance of producing oil then we continue hurting ourselves and taking a huge chance of driving this country into a depression that will finish off what our enemies could not. Somehow we must convince the folks drawing the big bucks" our esteemed leaders", they have not done anything to get us in control of this shortage of energy in this country and they have to  get off their collective asses and do something for the country or they will be the next to get their walking papers. We have the Obama administration shut down oil exploration  which will only slow down our recovery even more because of an explosion and fire which has been investigated and studied and draws no bearing on the exploration of oil. While this country falls further behind in energy production this step by the president in light of our energy situation makes absolutely no sense. Why shut down an industry which keeps our country running, an industry which employs hundreds of thousands of people across this country? It also makes no sense to shut down an industry that also creates thousands of off shoot jobs and all of them paying above average salaries from the professional all the way down to day labor. These two areas of energy production, nuclear and oil, will increase our independence and our tax base and that my friends would quickly cut our deficit not to mention, it would help solve our debt crisis with China.

Perhaps if this administration will work with the new incoming party, just maybe an opportunity will present itself to all of the parties involved and eyes can be opened and there will be a re-opening of those areas the administration had shut down and then along with that perhaps nuclear plants can finally be viewed in a positive light and "leaders" will realize it is time to work together for the good of this country and at that point, nuclear will not have to endure any further harsh treatment with these lengthy involved struggles from environmentalists which would finally allow this country turn the energy corner and really help America revive itself before it's too late. Plus it would stop putting billions of dollars into the hands of enemies overseas.

It feels as if America has been abandoned by our lawmakers. When people came to America in the early days, many came because they wanted to practice their religion and not be persecuted. They knew if they followed that just set of laws which were written so long ago then their lives and this new country could prosper, and prosper it did, beyond imagination. They came with hope to this place, this new country, this place which was destined to become the most blessed nation on the face of this earth. Then abiding by a moral and just set of God and natures laws, America received bountiful blessings through which it has repeatedly given back to the whole world and doing so without expectation of return. America has been able to do those things because Americans worked faithfully to follow the rules that was given.

America stood up in this most recent election and told politicians very clearly, "do not continue to ignore our voices,  the country is going the wrong way!" Without hesitation and in spite of election returns Conservative America was totally ignored Without missing a beat and with political correctness as the reason, politicians in order to shore up votes for themselves rather than national blessings for the country lawmakers have decided to pursue ways which contradict the very laws of God and nature to the point now where they've openly challenged the original maker and giver of laws. 

I feel strongly that God purposefully and specifically blessed this land, and for the inhabitants of this land to retain the blessings of God certain obligations and behaviors are required. They're even listed in a book, saves you from having to remember them. We began to stop following the rules we were given years ago and the blessings have become fewer and fewer. Our country now contends with many problems, many brought on by our own actions or inactions. One of our most recent problems is leaked security information which was stolen by a member of the military, Bradley Manning. A low ranking individual who got mad at his boyfriend.

 Now even before implementation of this new homosexual legislation/law that Congress passed today we can see the type of problems we may expect. A problem severe as theft/espionage directly linked to a behavior, a behavior banned in the military to the point where even speaking the matter was cause for discharge. Something that unspeakable sure doesn't seem as though it should suddenly be shouted from the rooftops. But America we have here a new law from politicians which says to America and the military; "You folks remember the 200 plus years of morality concerning homosexuals? Well, we got news for you, that stuff  is out the window now so, damn you to any who feel offended".

If anybody has been wondering why this country seems to be facing so many problems these days, maybe, just maybe we should take a look and see exactly where we stand with that same God that does the blessings. Perhaps we do make a slip here and there, on not abiding by those rules exactly 100% of the time may produce a little correction here and there but, believe me that continued and in your face refusal to follow the laws will probably get you some real correction and it may well be that ours is under way. Remember, every step we take which moves us away from that straight path we were told to follow, then the heavier the load becomes, the longer and steeper the path is going to be, and the more difficult our steps will become. So with this new law congress added another hill and a turn to our path. Oh Yeah, almost forgot they added another straw, but not on the camels back,  that one they put on our ass.

Hold on it's nearly over

I think we have come to this point where the law needs to be changed relating to this lame duck session that congress takes on after elections. When we hold elections and the people elect a new representative what they are saying to the person that lost is very simple, "You no longer have permission to cast any vote on my behalf because I have now hired a new representative and you are fired, go home".

The lame duck session of 2010 is really showing its bright shiny ass even after facing the reality of the results of the mid term election. Perhaps the line of, "Well, they did it" may apply here but for the life of me I can find but one reason for this to be taking place and it's simply that there are some people that want to poke the eye of the America people in retaliation of those same mid terms.

The mindset of the liberals after electing Obama was now they were in the majority and they could and would enact any and every piece of liberal legislation ever dreamed since the ink dried on the constitution. However during the first half of the Obama administration the Republicans held firm in many votes and prohibited the libs from obtaining those dreams and they failed to get what they wanted.

They figured in the lame duck they could make up for lost ground. I don't know how much of what has been done by this lame duck can be remedied once the new members are sworn in. They will have an effect but still they face Dirty Harry in the Senate and Obama will still be on the throne.How much of a lasting effect this lame duck will have on America this election cycle I don't know. I do hope it is limited and even better than that I hope it's reversible. Congress soon ends the new year is at hand and we will have the new congress starting the new session so one way or another we will know very shortly.

Sizing down the EU

There are problems worldwide and they continue to expand with each passing day. Many of those problems reside in the financial stability of the EU. With looming financial problems I look for the European Union to eliminate some of their members. Germany is in a position of prominence and with their economy being in so much better shape than the rest of the EU, they will be the country that dictates which countries will be pushed out of the group which now  makes up the EU. The monetary problems facing countries within the EU will find their way into Belgium and Austria, just like Greece, Portugal, and Ireland and this will just lead to more of the same thing in the near future.

We're looking at 26 or so countries which make up the EU at this point in time. You can look for Germany to knock down the number of countries to around 10 which will become the core of the EU in the near future. Got to remember the big bank is in Germany and they do hold the purse strings. They can yea or nay those countries that come to the EU with hand out asking for help. Lets just say I have my doubts when it comes to what really lies in the heart of Germany. Not sure why this came to mind other than it's sort of like lots of things here lately, just popped in from out of left field perhaps.

Defined Difference

This latest incident on the border with the killing of an American agent by drug runners from Mexico causes me concern. The deaths of lots of people along the border can be attributed to smuggling, both people and drugs. Drugs are a major problem in America and there is no simple way to get people to break such an addiction. We do know changing this drug habit will take a different mind set of the entire country. We will have to stop accepting this drug epidemic as something normal rather we must make it clear drug use is not acceptable and it is not an appropriate lifestyle to be embraced.

 For much too long  the liberal establishment and their lifestyle has promoted an acceptance of this freer and  more open society and with that has come their promotion of open borders. There has been many people from the progressive  wing of this radical liberal party that has consistently  gone to war against the people who promote conservative ideas in America. Progressive liberals have promoted the idea of schools raising our kids, Most all of them agree with the ACLU plan on removing religion from the public square, and allowing illegals free access to our country. Democrats are fine with millions of illegals sneaking into the country and taking jobs that should be done by Americans. The fact remains that Americans are the legal stewards of this land and therefore should be the recipients of the bounty which their stewardship produces which are known as jobs..

Failure of the Progressive Democrat party to acknowledge  that America will not tolerate the illegal stampede of people trying to sneak into the country has contributed to deaths of untold numbers of illegals along our southwestern desert border. If the President and the progressives liberals called the Democrat party fail to stand up for complete border security and back states like Arizona in their fight against illegals, then they should be recognized as accomplices in those acts of smuggling, raping, and the killing of people they smuggle. These actions take place every day along the southern border of this country. Republicans are called hostage takers because they want to stop wasteful spending in this country while Democrat progressive liberal whiners on the other hand are aiding and abetting smugglers, rapists, and murderers. I feel the comparisons are fair and the difference has now been defined.

change comes

America when did your spirit break? When did your pride leave you? Where is the America that led the world from the dark days of world wars? Where are those brave men of character like those that founded this great country? Have we won our last battle? Are we prepared to bow our heads and stand in defeat while our victors rejoice over our humiliation?

America stands in the shadow of its former greatness and the world looks and wonders how a country once so great and powerful could have fallen so low. People stands in wonder at a nation which led the world in so many areas and which had been the source of help for so many countries around the world. America has been a nation of such strength that around the world other countries showed quiet humility fearing retribution should they dare confront such power. No longer does that humility exist and countries regularly thumb their nose at America when we stand up against tyranny around the world.

I cannot put an exact date down as to when our country started on this downward spiral but I can say with certainty, one of the most important reasons for our demise lies in the failure of America to follow the instruction manual (Bible) he sent to us, and for America to give thanks for the bountiful blessings which have been laid upon this nation since the very founding of this land. There was a time when people were proud to display their allegiance to God and country and the people stood strong in faith and give thanks for those bountiful blessings from God. The number of those with such faith was great, and their pride in this country was just as strong and the world felt our strength and knew our faith was the source of our greatness. Then somewhere along the line we became complacent and took all these gifts for granted and began to believe we earned or deserved them. Thats when the changes began.

Tax Cuts For The Rich Explained

2009 Tax Law says Tom owes $12,000 a year in taxes, and Sammy owes nothing.
2009 tax year---Tom pays $12,000 in taxes to the Government and Sammy pays nothing just like 2008.

Republicans get elected to office, Big fight takes place and Obama signs Tax Cuts For the Rich.

2010 Brand New Tax Law says Tom owes $12,000 a year in taxes and Sammy nothing.
2010 tax year---Tom pays $12,000 in taxes to the Government and Sammy pays nothing just like 2009.

Then Democrats say they must borrow $12,000 from China to pay for Toms' tax cut because the terrorist Republicans are holding Sammy hostage. So when the Dems get this $12,000 from China just who are they going to give it to? I mean after all they have to pay for Toms tax cut. Are they going to give the money to Tom since he already paid his $12,000 to the Government? No they want to give part to Sammy cause he isn't ready to go back to work yet. Then they want to give some to Sammy's Union and some to the school where Sammy's kids go and they want to give to liberal colleges, the NPR, invest some with George Soros in moon beam power and then help Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters with their legal bills and then probably just piss the rest off somewhere down in the islands.

Try as you might there is no way to spin this story of taxing ourselves into prosperity. When you take from one pocket to put into another pocket you have gained not one thing. To take money from one person and give to another does not increase the wealth of the country and it does not level the field it simply creates strife and division.
