Just Saying

  • I am sooooo glad Huckabee isn't running for president. Daniels too.
  • I am throwing all my support behind Herman Cain, out of the other tawdry choices we have he just seems to shine the brightest.
  • On an opposite note, the dim bulb we call president ha called for Israel to return to 1967 borders. To show how insulting that is, I equate it to someone (likely another democrat) saying we should return to our 1861 borders (look it up).
  • My two guilty pleasures right now are The Lonely Island and Epic Meal Time.
  • Do you ever watch Obama on TV and get the feeling you're in the Twilight Zone? I do.
  • One good thing about skyrocketing food prices, it will be easier to stick to my diet.
  • A wise man once asked me; What can a finite being offer an infinite God?
  • Do you ever actually look at the pages you doodle on while sitting bored at school/work? Usually there is some weird stuff in there.
  • The closer I get to the end of Atlas Shrugged the more tripped out I get every time Obama utters the words "Social Justice".
  • Have you ever been so pissed at yourself you want to kick your own ass?
  • Yep they are re-booting The Flinstones and I have no response to that...

Just Saying

  • Why does OBL need an islamic burial if he wasn't a welcome member of the religion and why should be be concerned about what muslims think if they've disavowed him?
  • If you're feeling far from God, remember it's not God who moved away.
  • Between the birth certs and OBL, I hope someone is watching what Obama's other hand is doing.
  • A wise man once told me "If you smile every time you look in the mirror some will always be smiling back at you".
  • Today I threw away 2 pounds of junk mail, why don't the tree huggers care about that?
  • I know Trump is in the news, but if you're looking for a real conservative candidate to rival Obama please have a look at Herman Cain.
  • Now that I've been using a stand up desk for 3 months or so I would definitely suggest it for everyone.
  • Maybe we always look at the big picture because we are avoiding the small ones.
  • So I've been unemployed for five months now, that means after next month, according to Obama, I won't count towards unemployment because I'm no longer looking. Wrong again Obama.
  • Another wise man told me "The trouble with being a good sport is you have to lose to prove it."

And Crown Thy Good

We live in a great Country, I know this, you know this ( I hope). Often you hear in the MSM that we are spoiled, or arrogant, or even some kind of imperialist. But it's not that we aren't aware of what's happening in the rest of the world. We chose to be better, I know it's not PC to call ourselves better, but it is simple truth. Our Founding Fathers saw the world and wanted better. They built a free nation on a foundation of God. 235 years later we are the reigning super power (if Obama doesn't break us), we are looking to keep that position for a long time.


We have to be doing something right, to come as far as we did as fast as we did. The greatness of this Country is due to God and us, we represent the best of humanity. Sure we've had some dark moments and we have plenty of nuts, 25% of us think we had a hand in the tragedy of 9/11. The fact that we allow those nuts to have their crazy ideas just shows what a strong will we have. We don't have to root out the crazies, we embrace them. We have God given rights and rights established by men to guarantee our freedoms. The majority of us are good honest people who see the American dream and want to make it our own. Holding ourselves to a higher standard that started with the Ten Commandments and grew into a Constitution that in a few pages summed up our entire way of life.


Now our way of life is being threatened by terrorism, socialism and a few more 'isms. We have seen what evil and jealousy can do and we have to remember what Simon Wiesenthal said "Freedom is not a gift from heaven... You must fight for it everyday." Does this mean we have to take up arms? For some yes, another great thing about us is our military, an all volunteer fighting force that is unmatched across the globe. For the rest of us it means living the way God commands, voting wisely and electing the right people to run our government. Raising our children to observe the same values and take responsibility for their actions. 


Again I think about Glenn Beck's 9-12 project and I can't help but think this is our only real hope. It simply best states what we need to do as a Nation to maintain our strength and survive the coming insurrection.

The 9 Principles

  1. America Is Good.
  2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
    God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
  3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
    Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
  4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
    Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
  5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
    Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
  6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
    Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
  7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
    Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
  8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
    On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
  9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
    Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

The 12 Values

  • Honesty
  • Reverence
  • Hope
  • Thrift
  • Humility
  • Charity
  • Sincerity
  • Moderation
  • Hard Work
  • Courage
  • Personal Responsibility
  • Gratitude

New Year, New Challenge!

We all have people who inspire us, I was inspired when I was young by President Reagan, I was at school watching when the Challenger exploded and later saw this speech;



In these few minutes I saw sorrow, but I also saw strength. Never have I seen these in Barack Obama, his eyes are dead, they are expressionless and empty. He doesn't seem to care about anything except his own advancement and power. The biggest difference is, I believe Reagan had my best interest in mind at all times. Obama shows no interest in me, and by me I mean the average American. I don't mean to be disrespectful but,  I don't respect Barack Obama beyond the position he holds. Yeah you see what I did there, kinda like this;
Ahh double speak.


The Bible, (a book I am sure Reagan kept close to him at all times and Obama only grabs for a photo op) in Ecclesiastes 3 talks about "A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,  

6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."



For the last four years we have been tearing down, and now in the coming new year it is time to build again. But we need to build on a strong foundation. We need to look back to the Founding Fathers and re-take their lead. We need to remember the words of another great President, the First one George Washington; "For myself (and I take no merit in giving the assurance, being induced to it from principles of gratitude, veracity, and justice), a grateful sense of the confidence you have ever placed in me, a recollection of the cheerful assistance and prompt obedience I have experienced from you, under every vicissitude of fortune, and the sincere affection I feel for an army I have so long had the honor to command will oblige me to declare, in this public and solemn manner, that, in the attainment of complete justice for all your toils and dangers, and in the gratification of every wish, so far as may be done consistently with the great duty I owe my country and those powers we are bound to respect, you may freely command my services to the utmost of my abilities." He was a man truly devoted to our Great Nation and it showed like Reagan in every word he spoke. 


Talk to God, your family, friends and neighbors, figure out what you are supposed to be doing, who you are supposed to be and make that your goal for the coming year. Not a resolution, but a first step on the road back to the shining city that America once was and can become again;

In Defense of Michael Vick

I don't get this whole " should we forgive Vick" question, if he killed your personal dog it then your forgiving him is between you and God. I saw a damaged soul get busted and serve his time. While prison won't change his soul, he is clean in the eyes of the law. If he has had some kind of God finding moment in his life then I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and even clear away the damaged part.

This is America, our place is not to keep grudges, but to believe in God's ability to make us better. There is a reason "In God We Trust" is on our money and our govt buildings, and it's not for God's sake, but ours. Call it a reminder, for our govt to remember it's founding and the reason the United States is the strongest, richest, and the most merciful, charitable country in history, usually those don't go together. The money is a reminder to us the people that God gave us our freedom and will continue to do so as long as remember that. Ultimately this is bigger than Michael Vick, but it applies.

By the way I am neither a Vick fan or an Eagles fan, but who are we to sit in judgement?

9 Years Later

So 9 years later as the anniversary of Sept 11 approaches again I find myself just as angry as I was on 9/12/01. I watched exactly 7 minutes of "Giuliani's 9/11", an interview style recount of the day from Rudy himself, I had to shut it off because I was so angry we let this happen.

To make matters worse 9 years later Ground Zero is still a pit, and the Flight 93 Memorial is looking to be crescent shaped and facing Mecca. How are we so buried in bureaucratic slime can we not have rebuilt the Twin Towers. The "Freedom" tower is just the opposite, it is the we are scared masses who want to be enslaved tower. Is America never going to reach for the sky again just because some muslim whack jobs caught us off guard? 9 years later there is still hope; http://www.twintowersalliance.com/ is working on stopping the Freedumb tower and restoring the NY skyline to it's proper glory. The original Twins took 7 years to build, but with modern technology and state of the art materials the new Twin Towers could be standing in 3 years. Stronger then before, and smarter as well.

I know I have written about this before, probably around this time in previous years. We can't change the past, but we can make the future right, we can give our posterity the same beautiful gift we had for the 30+ years the WTC stood as a beacon on a hill so the world could look to us for strength, stability and safety. 9 years later we find ourselves in the midst of a deep recession,  a President who doesn't have our best interest at heart and turns his back on our trusted allies while he bows to dictators and kings. 9 years later America stands divided, some that want to stand by our Constitution and rely on the wisdom of God and our Founding Fathers, then others who would take us down the path of socialism and an overgrown government that taxes us mercilessly, controls our lives form our doctors to our air conditioners to our light bulbs. 9 years later the war is still raging and our Troops have their hands tied by lawyers that watch their every move and tell them when they fire their guns. 9 years later we again have the chance to make things right we have 9 values and 12 priciples we can hold to, in order to have a rebirth of what the Founding Fathers intended for us;

The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

The Twelve Values
1-Honesty

3-Hope

4-Thrift

5-Humility

6-Charity

7-Sincerity
2-Reverence

8-Moderation

9-Hard Work

10-Courage

11-Personal Responsibility

12-Gratitude

Let's take a stand, let's make this year better than the last. Relight the fires in our souls and show the world that 10 Years Later American is back, and we will not be bullied by enemies foreign or domestic. 10 years later we have the bases of two new towers rising from the ashes. 10 years later the people of America are united behind God and the Forefathers who in 8 pages laid out our government, a government of the people by the people for the people!

P.S. You can find the 9-12 ideas and mony other great ones in Common Sense;

Last Post of 2009

I was going to get into some long rant about the last year and how the downs out numbered the ups, personally and politically, but I decided to switch it up and go out on an up. The downs might outnumber the ups, but the ups outweigh the downs!

In these the last days of 2009 I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the people in my life that help me be the best person I can. I'm not gonna name names (you know who you are).

I want to say Thank You to my Family, we may not be the Cleavers but we are all in it to the end.

To my oldest friends; Been a long time since high school, huh? Here's to another decade!

To my new friends in the HD; I'm looking forward to decades!

Most importantly praise God and always remember the blessings he has given us.

Hello America!

I just can't believe how fast we are slipping into outright communism. Obama is not so slowly nationalizing banking, automobile production, student loans and health care. He says judge him by the people he surrounds himself with and files in Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Cas Susstein, Buffy Wicke and ACORN. All of whom identify themself as either socialist or looking to Mao for political guidance.

In California the "Republican" governor recently signed a bill that would require a thumb print and photo ID to purchase ammunition, which I am sure the rest of the Country will follow soon, by making it harder for LEGAL gun owners to buy ammo they are one step closer to the nazi style gun bans and registration hitler had laid out to keep his people under his thumb. It doesn't matter which of the Bill of Rights goes down first be it the second amendment or the fourth once one goes the rest will fall like dominoes.

In the soviet union the state controled the newspaper and it only printed the news the state wanted put out there ignoring the real stories. Here in the USA this is being reborn by the mainstream media (MSM) which is completely devoted to Comrade Obama and badmouthing FOXNEWS the only media outlet that dares to say anything dissenting. Which I might add was encouraged by Nancy Pelosi during the Bush years, but now people who dissent are called a mob, nazis and unpatriotic. How are we supposed to trust the MSM when it's broadcaster get a "thrill up their leg" when Obama talks?

Taxes are sky high and rising with no end in sight. Taxes are being levied on things like juice, soda, sweets, cigarettes, and vegetables. Even with the biggest tax increase in American history the deficit is climbing to uncharted territory. Trillions of dollars of debt being left our children and grandchildren. While social security continues to die it's slow death and the cost of government run health care not even added in yet!

 Roman political philosopher Cicero spoke on the enemy within and how they attack the pillars of society. Have you noticed the pillars of our society being attacked? Police Officers who are doing their jobs attacked by the President himself on television. The Church being attacked on all sides from prayer, Bibles, the Ten Commandments and the name of GOD being removed from our pledge, money and buildings. This Country was built on Judeo-Christian foundation. Wise men who built this house upon a rock. Who over the last 233 years gave Glory and Prayers to God openly during speeches and were not ashamed. But in the last year we opened a WWII memorial with NO mention of God at all! How does this happen? All the great Presidents of the past Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy spoke of God and how they Prayed daily (there were many more, but these are the one even democrats call great).

 The people are already standing up, the 9/12 march in DC was most likely the largest in American history. Tea Parties are back and I say Samuel Addams would be proud to see what we are doing. I have been to several tea parties myself and intend on going to more. I will blog and make calls, vote when the time comes for real change. Because I have hope in America not the President. There is already a Savior in my life and his name is Jesus Christ not Barack Obama.
