I Weep for my Country

Lots of thoughts on the election tonight.  I don't know where to start.  Firstly, as a Christian conservative, I am fed up with being portrayed as a racist homophobe who hates poor people!  That is NOT who we are.  It is not who Mitt Romney is.  It is a lie.    For those of you who know me, you know I am intelligent, well-informed, compassionate, and hard working.  Most conservatives are.  There are some bad apples, of course, but they don't represent us.   The biggest lie that has been perpetrated through political correctness is that disagreement or disapproval equals hate.  That is just not the case, but that is a topic for another post, as is the fact that as a woman I am insulted by the assumption that all my political concerns begin and end with my "lady parts"-also a topic for another post.


As for the election tonight, I am stunned and saddened.   How people cannot see through this horrible, petty man, I'll never understand.  He has damaged this country and in a second term it will become absolutely unrecognizable.    This man is a radical and now that he has no concerns about re-election, all bets are off.  He has been divisive, not a uniter.  He foments racial and class envy and discord.   People are lazy and don't bother to look into the truth of things.  Obama has gotten away with blatant lies and not gotten called out.  The media has covered up for him and withheld stories more than once.  This man is all style and no substance and for the life of me I've never seen this "charm" or likeability" that the fawning media talk about.  My wonderful "assessment skills" that people have raved about at work for years tell me that he is a complete narcissist and liar.    In 2008 I asked his supporters to tell me what he had accomplished to deserve my vote.  They couldn't tell me.  Same thing this time.   Obamcare is very unpopular and he really hasn't accomplished much else, even when he had 2 years of a democratic majority in Congress to do what he wanted.   


I just have this to say:  if you voted for this evil, or did nothing to stop it, don't ever complain about what is to come; high energy prices, inflation, stifling government regulations, unemployment or underemployment,  loss of freedoms (especially religious and speech), increased taxes,  long waits, rationing,  or denial of medical care once Obamacare gets into full stride, when a few more anti-gun Supreme Court justices are chosen;  don't you dare complain about it to me.  You chose this.  We tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen.  You have robbed our children and grandchildren of a better future.  

Do some real research on this man.  Stop getting your news spoon fed by the legacy media who have lied and covered up for him.   He is not the savior you think he is, and while you're at it, take a look at how economics really works and maybe read our Constitution.    He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and his ideas are harmful to our freedom.   Of course, its too late, but do it anyway.    He is going to govern from the hard left and as a conservative, I fully expect to be marginalized.  This is a leader who talks about voting for revenge and punishing his enemies.  You can say he's just the president and we can do something in 2016, but I'm afraid it will be too late to un-do it. 

You may think I'm crazy, that's fine.  I read a lot.  I research a lot.  I am constantly surrounded by people with opposing beliefs and have mine challenged.  I don't live in a conservative bubble.    I am not stupid, uneducated, or a sheep.   I think time will prove me right.  Believe me, I'd rather be wrong.  I guess the lesson for me in all this is that while being an involved and informed voter is a good thing,  my time would probably be better spent working on my spiritual life, which has been lacking.   In the long run, that will get me a lot farther. 

Oh, SNAP!

This is brutal!  And true.............

 

 

Why can't people see through this empty suit?  (or chair)?

Islam is not a "Religion of Peace"

The last few days have been incredibly tense, scary, and hopefully eye-opening for some.   Even so, many people still insist this is just a few "radicals" who have hijacked the religion.  No, it's not.  This is the face of Islam.  The Koran demands this of its followers. 


Islam is not compatible with Christianity.  We do not worship the same God.  Would the God of the Bible speak through a man such as Mohammed, who lived the life he did, marrying a 6 year old and consummating the marriage when she was 9?  Had multiple wives?  Endorsed and perpetrated so much bloodshed?  The answer is a resounding "no".   Don't give me the argument about how all God's prophets were sinners; of course they were, but, they were changed by God.  The apostles were changed by their relationship with Jesus.  Mohammed remained the same.    They deny the divinity of Jesus....  how could this be the same God?    In Islam, salvation is gained by works..... how can this be the same God?   In Islam, heaven is a place of sensual pleasure, where men are promised virgins and young boys for their pleasure........ how could this be the same God?   In Islam, people are compelled to convert or die....... how could this be the same God?   Are you getting my point here?  Our God is one who is righteous, holy, benevolent.  Our God saves us from our sins, we cannot save ourselves.  Our God gives us free will to choose to accept or deny the salvation he offers.   Our God promises a heaven that is pure, holy and filled with joy, not sensual pleasure.  This is not the same God.

So if we do not worship the same God, who do muslims actually worship?  You tell me......  if not God, then who?  There is only one other choice........

Here are some links... investigate for yourself.

Stop buying the myth.  This is a painful truth, but it is truth.  We cannot compromise with Islam.  It would be a compromise with evil. 

Clint!

Great take on the Clint Eastwood routine from the RNC convention.   Note what he says about ridicule.... and also what he says about the potential for race riots when the Dems lose...

Letter from Paul Ryan

I'm A Believer (sort of)

I've not been much of a Romney fan.... was going to hold my nose and vote for him as the anti-Obama, but over the past several months, he's slowly won my respect.  Mind you,  he's certainly not perfect and I disagree with Romneycare and his history with guns.  He did a wonderful thing in choosing Ryan as his running mate and he's handled some of the negativity, slings and arrows thrown at him with some real finesse.  He sure as hell is fighting harder than McCain did.   This clip demonstrates how he can think on his feet and turn things back on Obama.  He needs to keep this up.  Also, Ryan debating Biden should be all kinds of awesome! 

On Wisconsin!

Wisconsin has been in the limelight an awful lot the past year or so.....  Badgers went to the Rosebowl,  the Packers had a great run for a while last season and Aaron Rodgers was MVP, as did the Brewers with Ryan Braun as MVP, Miss Wisconsin was crowned Miss America, and the whole Scott Walker/ recall issue.   Hey libs, how did that recall work out for you, anyway?  Scott Walker is a conservative rock star and set the stage for other conservatives to stand their ground.  Heh.  So now, we have a Wisconsinite as the VP nominee on the Republican ticket!  Very exciting, not only because he's "our" guy, but because he is well-versed in economics, has an actual plan that he can articulate very well, and is really likable.  That's why the libs will come out strong attacking him.  He is a real threat.    So...... go Wisconsin once again! 

Paul Ryan, Baby!

LOVE this guy!  He's smart, honest, well-spoken, and unflappable.  He's perfect.  He can speak to the financial issues.  He understands the fiscal reality we face and can talk about it in ways people can understand. And, as a Wisconsinite, he is one of the conservative rock stars we've had emerging the last few years.  Watch Obama's face in this clip; he clearly hates him.  Good reason for that.  Ryan is a threat to Obama and his plan.  One more reason to vote for him.

This is great.  And true.

Disagreement is not "hate"

The whole Chick-Fil-A has me flabbergasted, although I shouldn't be after the last several years of  lead-up to this.  Tolerance and diversity apparently don't apply to people who disagree with liberals,  Once again, not a surprise.    It's been obvious for years.  What is scary is that they become bolder and more vocal all the time.  They WILL resort to violence and forcible suppression.  Its not a matter of IF, but WHEN.   It's frightening how they try to silence those who dare cross them.  Chick-Fil-A as a company does not refuse service to anyone or ask the sexual orientation of its customers or employees.  A company executive simply stated his views.  Is this the country we have?  People cannot have freedom of consience or cannot express their religious or politcal views? 

Liberals apparently do not know the difference between disagreement or disapproval and hate.  Not the same thing.  People can disagree with things and even disapprove of things without hating someone.  I can not like what you do without hating you as a person.   The insanity of it all......  

They scream "hate" because they hate.  They scream "intolerance" because they are intolerant.  They want to silence opposition.

Slide into fascism.....

Deep thoughts

Something else that's been on my mind is the combination of factors and people threatening our safety, prosperity, and way of life.  Right now,  the ongoing threat of Islamic terrorism is still there. It has not gone away, despite the death of bin Laden.   Obviously, collectivists and socialists, along with the ragtag bunch of anarchists and freaks that make up the "Occupy" movement are another huge threat.  Many people I know, particularly in my church,  are waiting for the day when the "religious right" takes over and enforces their will on the rest of us.  I wonder if we've been looking at this the wrong way.

We assume that because we are told that people will do this in the name of God, that it will be people who worship the same God as us.  Maybe not.    The Christian Right in this country is the last safe group to mock and ridicule, as well as to try and shut out of the public square.    Other religions are ok, as that is "diversity".   We are not exposed to the truth about Islam.   Leftists have some strange tolerance, even reverence toward Islam, despite the fact that it is a brutal religion toward women and gays, 2 of their favorite "victim" groups. 

Both the left and Islamists have no qualms about violence and mayhem in the pursuit of their goals.  In Islam, it is acceptable to lie, steal, cheat, whatever you need to do in the name of allah (see taquiya).   Leftists think the same way  (see Alinsky, for starters).    Buckets of blood have been spilled at the hands of Islamists and leftist leaders in the last century, not at the hands of right-wingers, despite what the popular media would have you think. 

What if these 2 seemingly opposing forces combined to form a different type of movement that would kill in the name of "God" or Allah or Gaia or whatever?   Neither group has any scruples about lying or using others to accomplish their goals... or about using force and violence to achieve them.  There are so many movements and efforts to take away our freedoms, from soda bans and hiding of infant formula in NYC to Article 15 of the UN Arms Trade Treaty.  Businesses are punished and pressured to abandon their religious beliefs in the name of "tolerance".  Bands of young people are forming large groups of people who swarm and rob stores (the recent clothing store in Illinois is just one example),   In elections, there has been rampant and flagrant irregularities and fraud.   There is an increasing sense of lawlessness, class envy and racial tension.   Things will come to a head at some point.    I wonder about some of the major players in all this, unions, leftists, terrorists, anarchists.  What would they do in order to establish their utopia?  Its something we need to be watchful of so as not to be focusing on the wrong bogeyman.  Just food for thought.

Something is about to hit the fan.  Are we ready?

Its Been a Long Time...

Took an extended break from blogging, but after resorting to political posting on Facebook again, decided maybe to try my hand at blogging again.  Too much going on to ignore.  People are gearing up for an ugly election season.  

Obama prepares for war against US citizens

People who think he is merely misguided are dangerously naive.  This man has been groomed from infancy to do what he is doing. i.e. "fundamentally transform America"/  He sure is.  It is becoming more unrecongnizable every day.  This is not accidental.  It is malicious and calculated.   He foments racial tension and class warfare.

Hmmm........

Hat Tip:  Moonbattery

Another day, another lesson in lefty lunacy

Via Moonbattery, a story about a man standing up to an "occupy" hippie  (language warning):

And then I leaned over and......................

I had to laugh at that story...  these people seem to think they can enforce their will on anyone and do not seem to be opposed to bullying and violence.  Two can play that game, I guess.


Verum Serum continues to have great coverage of the drug use, vandalism, sexual assault, and general mayhem that continues at most "Occupy" protests, no matter where they are.  Remember the current president has offered sympathy to these people.    Rather than re-post all the stories, I'll just link over there.  If you want to see what these people are about, go take a look.

"Occupy" movement coverage

At Breitbart, video of these degenerates harassing conservatives, some women and children, on their way to an Americans for Prosperity event.   More classy behavior.

More mayhem

Greece's current state should serve as a warning, but hippies and leftists appear to be allergic to things like facts, real statistics, and evidence.... they react to it like Dracula to holy water..

The collapse in Greece

Need I mention the standards of living and the lack of freedom in socialist utopias such as Cuba and North Korea?   How about China?   Maybe some countries in South America?     This is what the future holds for all of us if we don't stand our ground against these people and vote Obama out next year.

Wisconsin News

Althouse has a story on people interfering with Governor Walker's speech in Chicago.  I agree with her opinion that this ongoing immature behavior only serves to make the Governor look better.  His reforms are working.   These people keep making themselves look like spoiled, immature, bratty children.

Disruptive behavior

In other Wisconsin news, a teacher gets a reprimand for taking kids to a protest, which is good, but he should be fired or suspended...

Take your kids out of public schools

As Wisconsin prepares for the epic battle of the "Recall Scott Walker" campaign, here is some food for thought:

Recall fatigue

Premature recall

I can't wait for these morons to show up at my door requesting my signature on the petition.....  

In praise of capitalism

Great commentary at PJ media about capitalism and the concept of "economic justice".

In praise of capitalism

Best quotes:

"Most people who advocate robbing Peter to pay Paul always imagine themselves as Paul — never as Peter. But when their desired forced redistribution is applied at a national level, the result is the near-universal misery and squalor of socialist countries like Cuba and North Korea. Except for a few political elites, everyone is equal — but poor."

"I don’t want to live in a dog-eat-dog world of constant “redistribution” and mutual predation where I survive only by looting from those wealthier than me, while those poorer than me survive by looting from me. Instead, I want a capitalist society which allows the top 1% the freedom to make their lives better — and in the process makes my life better as well."

I couldn't have put it better myself. 

How did I miss this before??

A non-answer from Pepsi

This is the response I've received from my email to Pepsico.

Thank you for contacting us at PepsiCo.  We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and would like to take a moment to share some information we hope you will find helpful.
First, Senomyx does not provide ingredients to PepsiCo, nor do they manufacture PepsiCo products.  Our work with Senomyx is focused on beverage sweetener research to help us reduce sugar in future global products.  The integrity of our products is critical to PepsiCo as well as our consumers, and we use only ingredients that meet FDA requirements.  Senomyx utilizes well-established and long-approved research processes that are widely used today by many companies within the food and beverage industry.  As with each of our research partners, Senomyx is required to meet all relevant industry and government regulatory standards in all its processes and methods.

No acknowledgement of the source of the research materials they use or the fact that although Senomyx does not make Pepsi products, they are working on potential future ingredients through the use of fetal cells. Ghouls.

Liberty, morality, faith

Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.
Alexis de Tocqueville

This is where the left gets it wrong every time.  They talk about freedom, but that's not what they really want, they want license; as in licentious:  lacking legal or moral restraints; especially: disregarding sexual restraints: marked by disregard for strict rules of correctness.     They want sexual freedom, freedom of "artistic" expression,  freedom from rules and restrictions on personal boundaries.   "If it feels good, do it".   They do not want true economic freedom, freedom of thought and opinion (see what happens when you disagree with them), or religious freedom if anyone is free to "condemn" their licentiousness.    In a truly free society, they may have their licentiousness, but the moral are also free to criticize them, correct them, or (heaven forbid) pray for them.   This, they do not want. 

John Adams said:  "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other".     Maybe this is why the left wants to "interpret" or even destroy the Constitution.  They know it prevents them from their man-made utopia, which is an illusion.  This world will never be made perfect by the efforts of men, and the closest we can come to it on our own is through faith in God.  

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary stated, "The moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."

Look at the "Occupy" movement.  Look at what they are doing.  What they are proposing.  What they are rejecting.   More and more photos, videos, and reports are coming out every day about the licentiousness, destruction of property, disregard for personal property and safety,  and politics of envy and greed that define this "movement".    It is ugly and it is evil.

I know this is getting redundant, but let me repeat:  the only way this "movement" can achieve its purpose is by coercion, force, and violence or at the very least, the complete submission and enslavement of the free people of this country.    

Anti-capitalist revolution?

Cost to taxpayers

"Occupiers" cost workers their wages
