We don't have enough problems in this country we probably need to find a way to create more problems and need to do it soon. Here is a new little problem going around many cities today. It goes like this; get a bunch of kids to gather at some pre-appointed place and on cue everyone enter the establishment and grab anything of value as quick as possible and then run like hell. If you have to hurt someone while your getting your stuff then so be it. These mobs are not only robbing stores but beatings as well take place of the young, the old, infirm or not. People walking down the street have been beaten down, people in their cars, their homes broken into and people pulled out and beaten on their front porch. Happy Flash Mobbing Everyone!
Around this country those acts are taking place and it's being emulated by other groups once they hear about how successful the other mobs are doing. News coverage of the people doing these things are being referred to as kid gangs, teenagers with nothing to do, disenfranchised, and every other imaginable poor-me group you can come up with, and then they make excuses by saying they do it because of poor schools, few employment opportunities, years of being held down by society, and the excuses go on and on. During the broadcasts or in the news clippings the most often neglected piece of information given to the public concerning these mobs is the fact these people committing these violent acts are black. That's right, the thing most often not mentioned is the race of the people doing all the beatings, robbing, and mayhem. There are many many of us who have said race problems (riots) will play a big role in this country. You can't have a liberal society that takes God out of society, promotes abortion, social justice, homosexuality, single parents, make society completely dependent on government and then threaten to take away all the goodies and think the patients won't try a takeover of the asylum. We have begun to reap the harvest.
Keeping it simple is the plan here. Search through each day of my life with the possibility that something comes through all the clutter. Post when I can and hope once in a while something interesting finds it's way into the mixture. Frontiers forever are my dreams and hopes that seem always to lie just over the next hill, never quite within reach, but still always there and forever calling out to me.

here again?
What will happen to America? Would we survive the kind of turmoil that is taking place in the Middle East or in Europe? Chances are pretty good that America could handle those types of incidents in we allowed God to take precedence. I don't think Americans are as God-grounded today as was the case in those years prior to the radical 60's. A change came over the country somewhere along that point. Then self, became the all important focus of life in America. God became a Sunday morning church visit to show neighbors we were certainly still"Christians" but that was about as far as it went.
We are looking at a very different America today than what our parents grew up under. The country is at a point where God has been removed from everyday life and those who claim to be Christians today are looked down upon and even ridiculed in some instances. Changes unlike any we have ever seen in this country are taking place, the kind our parents certainly would never have imagined. Although these things may not have been imagined indeed they were prophesied. Yep, that's right this story has already been written but participants have the opportunity to make changes.
In Ecclesiastes1 we find; All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. That which has been, is what will be, that which is done, is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “ See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come by those who will come after.
Our situation today is new, yet some have read the book and others have skimmed the pages, some have seen the reviews, very few are totally unaware of the story and the players involved. This is the life long story of good and evil, and we are players in a very real game. A very real game for sure, but one that will for a time, allow each of us a chance to influence our outcome.

next question please
In addition to my previous post about Harry Reid and his news conference a while ago I have started to hear some reporters from a couple different TV stations ask real questions of the Democrats. Jay Carney had to actually answer a couple pointed questions about the battle going on with the layoffs of FAA folks. How far this will go and whether or not the reporters will continue to dig and ask pertinent questions of the Democrats is up in the air. However it goes, one can continue to hope it goes ahead for a long spell which could mean someone has gotten part of the message sent by the TEA party. It seemed quite odd to see what is normally a softball set of questions asked of the presidents' spokesman turn into several questions that seemed to take Carney off step for a moment or two. How long this turn around will last, again I do not know
meanie publicans
Harry Reid and his crew just came to the cameras to give some more talking points on how terrible the Republicans are. Harry just finished telling the world how mean and uncaring the Republicans are because they refuse to allow workers back and having FAA members all on the side lines. Forgetting of course the Republicans gave Harry a bill to work his magic on in the Senate. After all he has about fifty something people in the senate who are Democrats.Harry why didn't you get your members to agree with the Republicans. Poor Harry can't understand how the mean Republicans could possibly allow people who want to work not to go back to work. Wow Harry, maybe you could run your scrawny ass up the the President and say those same words to the President and instead of using FAA and Government workers insert into their place Louisiana oil field workers and oil producers around the country who are in the same place who have stood and the side line begging for the president to reopen their jobs. Those jobs have cost this country many billions already plus put us in jeopardy by having to depend on our enemies for energy. Man oh man, the whining we can do when it is our ox being gored. And I include myself in that statement.

hype
There is lots of hype since last night over word that an agreement for extending the debt ceiling had been reached, but as with all agreements the devil is in the details. From early reports, smaller spending cuts than rating agencies had wanted are in this deal just reached. There will be debate over this bill but the time frame will prevent congress from debating the bill same as the Obama-care bill and we will simply end up with more controversy that will not be good for anyone. I believe the agencies will still downgrade our rating and when that happens you can bet the lame stream media will blame the TEA party and the Republicans..
The ceiling being raised was not the problem for getting a downgrade. The reason for downgrading from AAA was how much debt was going to be eliminated with the deal once it is agreed to and signed by Obama. If the current deal goes through as is, (and I don't know all the facts) I look for our rating to drop. The downgrade will come from a couple groups but remember folks, we are still talking about the same group of clowns who made decisions that put not only their asses but Americas' ass in a hole. But then they willingly took our perfectly fine USA good old American tax dollars to get their asses out of the hole they dug, and now they are ready to turn around and have the b**s to say, we feel that America can't be trusted to pay it's bills so we're going to downgrade their credit. Our problem is a spending addiction.
