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

Time to clean out DC
Hi
Like many American taxpayers I am fed up with the way our government is being e need change.
One of the major problems we have is what I call the "mushroom politicians". Now you ask what that means, well, a mushroom grows in decaying ground and requires no roots. I think you can see where I am heading. Today we got some good news, Congressman Barney Frank, D-MA, announced his retirement. He has been in office too long, some thing like 17 two year terms. Mr Frank should have been retired years ago.
Because of the way the congress works committee membership is on a seniority method of selection. Under this type of committee appointments go to any one who hangs around too long. Being committee chair gives one power, as in the power to select which bills come up for discussion. To my way of looking at it, seniority is a disaster looking for a place to erupt. We saw how it leads to earmarks which finally have been cleared up, now let's go after seniority. Of course the easiest way is for the citizenry to vote the bums out. More to come so please stay tuned.
I hope all had a good thanksgiving and that we took time to remember our brave service men and women who are away from family defending our great nation. Remember them in your prayers.
GOD Bless

Good government vs bad government
Hi
Today I am venting my anger at what passes as our federal government. We see so much bad government that it is now reached the proportions of an epidemic.
Recent revelations have pointed out that congress is exempt from laws governing "Insider trading". Will some please tell me how this exemption helps pass legislation? Nancy Pelosi has made money on using inside information about Visa. Former speaker Hastert used knowledge of a federally funded highway construction sight to buy abutting land and turned a profit. If an ordinary citizen did either of these that citizen would face criminal charges.
Either directly or through other indirect means we the taxpayers pay for these perks. This is no longer a light issue to pass over but it goes to the core of the make up of our elected officials.
The Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party movements should join in a drive to oust all incumbent politicians, liberal or conservative, republican or democrat. Restore sanity to our nation. Vote them out
Please keep in your prayers for well wished and safety for our troops.

Republican candidates - Herman Cain
Hi
The "lamestream" media is at it again. Just as it was with the Justice Clarence Thomas hearings we are seeing a lynching in the media.
I for one get really disgusted with the media for the covering of these kinds of stories. Just compare the manner in which the following stories have been covered, first let's label them. On one hand we have President Bill Clinton, Congressman Weiner. On the other side we have Cain and Justice Thomas.
In the Clinton/Weiner instances we heard all kinds of cover ups, they are still capable of doing their jobs, it is only sex, boys will be boys, etc. In the Cain/Thomas situation we see quite a change. According to the media Justice Thomas should never have been confirmed, Cain should resign from his running for President. I still hope that some one in the so called main media would answer my blog and explain tome how this kind of bias should be considered news.
One other point I would like to make is the silence of these so called "civil rights, black advocates, champions of the people" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Fellas,the silence is deafening.
I always recall the words of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson said that a fair press is necessary to preserve democracy. Does any one think that todays media is fair?
Keep our brve service people in your prayers.

Obama and his lack of business acumen
Hi
The president acts through his appointed cabinet members, staff and aides. Mr Obama has picked some real stinkers. The major problem is the spending of the stimulus.
First, there is half a billion given to a solar power company which goes bankrupt about a year after getting the money. The rationale was that the stimulus was given to save or create jobs. With the bankruptcy 1100 jobs were lost. A waste of our money.
Next we learn about a car company that manufactures electric cars. Another half billion dollars. As soon as the company got the money the company made plans and is now slated to open a plant in Finland. Finland gets the jobs, the US (we) get the shaft.
Another example of where our money goes is the truck stop in Virginia. Diesel trucks are manufactured so that it is more economical to run the engine all night rather than shut off the engine. This company had an idea whereby the diesel engines could be shut off and started easily in the morning. The company could not get the system to work and now the property where the truck stop was planned is now for sale.
This is a pattern, too many bad decisions by our bureaucrats. There decisions should not be forced upon the taxpayer by these bumbling oafs,but rather the decision should be made using good common sense, business sense and practical usages.
Why we seem to feel that when a person gets elected to congress or appointed to an administrative bureaucracy that person acquires business acumen. These examples show this is not the case. We need to root these people out of government.
Please remember to pray for our ervice people.
