Hi
I was going to name this post "What direction do we want our nation to take?" The name I settled on is easier to remember.
The presidential election of 2012 is a most important one for the nation. The future depends on how the voters speak. On one hand we have President Obama, who has acted and even lately said he wants a socialistic nation. On the other side we have most republican candidates advocating a return to a capitalistic society. Where to go.
In his recent speech in the Midwest Obama said that capitalism doesn't work, hey, I got news for him. Look at history, socialism doesn't work. To support my position I cite examples such as Henry Ford, the guy developed the assembly line and auto companies thrived. He got no government stimulus funds. Thomas Edison created General Electric (Look at how that has been redefined). Edison was a conservative who believed that ingenuity and hard work made success, not government funds. The president should have learned that his policies have failed and that they are doomed to continue failing. That is why I say this election cycle is most important and we should vote out all those who put politics, personal power and prestige ahead of country. This applies to those in both parties. Remember, you get the government you deserve.
Please pray for our troops.
GOD Bless

Herman Cain = Part II
Hi
In an earlier blog I said I liked Herman Cain as a candidate. Since then every thing has gone "to hell in a hand basket". Here is my take on the situation.
Almost all of the charges are allegations, he said, she said. Do we want to condemn a person for this kind of goings on? Or should we condemn? The media is biased against conservatives as it is, add to the mix the fact that Cain is a man of color, what chance did he have. I think playing the race card is a very foolish method of defense, but in this case, is it warranted? Let's compare similar situations.
First is Bill Clinton and his bimbo harem. We had credible allegations of a forced rape but the media largely ignored it, we had admitted affairs while he was governor of Arkansas, we had Ms Wiley, and of course we had Monica Lewinsky. If factual did anything Cain allegedly do come up to what Clinton did? NO. The media ignored Clinton but went after Cain. I feel that Cain should get the same coverage as Clinton.
Next we need to look at how the campaign of Edwards was covered. The media did not cover the story until the "checkout counter rag" the Enquirer broke it. I mean we all know that the media was forced to print the story because it had already been printed by the Enquirer. Here is the race card again, Clinton and Edwards are white, Cain is colored. Coincidence, I don't think so. In his writings Thomas Jefferson said that in order for there to be a free democracy, there must be a free (unbiased) press. Don't we deserve that much.
Remember to pray for our soldiers and their loved ones.

What is going on in DC
Hi
As you can see by the title of this blog I wonder what is going on with our elected and appointed officials. Let me start by trying to determine which officials are doing the worst job.
First there is Chu, Department of Energy. The so called green loans are a complete travesty of democratic ideals. The stimulus package is doled out to White House cronies and we taxpayers get stuck holding the bag. The secretary gives a loan to a solar panel company when private capital is not available. Mr Chu, "Why do you think private capital is not available? Could it be that the idea of a solar panel company is not viable? Your primary function is to work within the law and protect taxpayers money. After an asinine decision to loan the taxpayer money you then compound the situation. The statute which authorizes the loan places some restrictions on the loan. One of these restrictions is that the government can not hold a second position (lien) on the borrower. Mr Chu, you admitted in your testimony before congress that you disregarded this restriction in order to induce borrowers to invest. You assert that it was needed to raise the additional monies needed. Does the law mean anything to you? You should be ashamed of your action and if I had the power I would have dismissed you during the hearings. The American taxpayer deserves some one who upholds the law, not break it. If you read this Mr Chu please atone. Make things better by resigning.
Even in the face of all the nonsense going on in Washington there are some good, honest and dedicated individuals. I am referring to our brave service people. Please keep them in your prayers.
GOD Bless
