Is He Serious? Looks Like it.

We've all read in the past few days of New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to exclude the Clergy AND the First Responders from well-deserved roles in the 9/11 Ten-Year Memorial gathering.


What a crock of poop. Who does he think he is?  His decision is a desecration to every grave of each person who died that day and to all of the families who have suffered because of those cowardly attacks on our country.  By the way, I do personally believe that these acts were direct declarations of war upon us as a nation and people by a group of terrorists who needs to be summarily wiped off the face of the planet.  To exclude these Great Americans from the ceremonies, this "Mayor" seems to have sided with those that committed the acts in the first place.


Not to mention the fact that he actually SUPPORTS the building of the "9/11 Mosque" itself.  By what standard do we now judge this man?  His intent seems to be one of absolute disgust whereby he's stating that he doesn't care about what happened on that day.  The Clergy are who we turned to for solace and to intercede to God on our behalf on that day; the First Responders were the ones who RAN TO GROUND ZERO to rescue those in need.  Both groups are HEROES OF AMERICA!  They are definitely my heroes.


I may be wrong; please forgive me if I am.  My intentions are not to emphatically state that Bloomberg feels this way or that his act of excluding them is morally despicable.  I am merely stating what SEEMS to be.  I mean, really; it DOES seem that way.  He hasn't stated otherwise, not that I've been able to find anywhere.  This is pretty important, too.


It’s really no surprise, is it?  It looks like so many of our leaders are placating groups, associations, and entities that seems to have America's destruction as their primary agenda as well as those who have intentions to bleed our economic resources dry.  Illegal aliens (sorry, undocumented immigrants), "suspected" terrorists, American-hating Marxists, far, far, far left labor organizers, and more, are being placed upon a pedestal of legitimacy and are upheld as stalwarts of America.  We are being force-fed spoonful after spoonful of "acceptance" and "tolerance" rhetoric.  I don't know about you, but I do not think it's very appetizing.  It tastes nasty.  Bet you the Washingtons, Lincolns, Jeffersons, Hamiltons, Franklins, or Adamses would feel the same way about being forced to succumb to ideals and morals that are against God and Liberty.  Oh...they did feel that way.


 
How can this continue?  Why is the Mayor of New York allowed to even make this decision?  Where's the opposition?  There is opposition, isn't there?



Thanks for reading.

It's All Backwards

Things aren't the way they should be.  They're all backwards.  Not quite like a mirror-image, but something with an outcome that's the opposite of what used to be and what still needs to be. 

For instance, here's a good guy who's done the right thing, has been moral, kind, eloquent.  He entered politics and got elected.  I'm talking about Marco Rubio.  Not a bad man, a good man who speaks above the board and doesn't hide behind closed doors in order to seal dirty political deals.  The people of Florida like him alot and he's doing a good job.  Then along comes Ed Schultz of MSNBC who slams Rubio by calling him a "pretty boy" who will be "ugly" to seniors by cutting Medicare and Social Security.  This is insane.  At a time when We the People need to unite against the rise of an ever-growing and over-spending government, we have a man like Schultz attacking the very ones who want to, and actually are, reining in this federal beast of burden.

The Pentagon is under pressure because of upcoming budget cuts.  They've got to decide what programs and areas can function on less money.  If they don't, the cuts will go forward automatically.  That's a shame.  In this day and age, when a very significant portion of the world seems hell-bent on developing plans for our downfall, we need to be focusing on ensuring that our military has as much cash as they need to defend our borders and our citizens.  Here's an idea: cut out all the frills and perks that our politicians enjoy: limousines, jets, parties, African safaris (Michelle), excellent pay, great hours, invitations as guests to high-brow events, voting their own pay raises, lifetime pensions, free health care, and, I believe, immunity from prosecution of criminal activity.  If the last one isn't actual fact, sorry, but it seems that way to me.

Another sad story is the unfortunate and shameful incident involving Peter D'Attilio.  Mr D'Attilio was passing out pro-life book markers on August 11th at a fair in Franklin, Massachusetts.  BOOK MARKERS, folks, with a pro-life message.  He was arrested, handcuffed, and beaten by police.  Police accused that he was conspiring to plant bombs at the fair, informing D'Attilio pro-life people do that sort of thing.  They searched his vehicle utilizing bomb dogs, all while being held in a cell at the police station. He's been charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace and he's now facing over two years in jail and possible fines of hundreds of dollars.  This man loves life.  He doesn't want to see babies aborted.  He's never been in any trouble, has never been confrontational, has never gotten in anybody's face with his beliefs and opinions.  He's reported to be a quiet guy.  Good grief, he was passing out book markers for crying out loud.  For this he was arrested, beaten, and thrown in a jail cell.  Wow, doesn't this seem too much?  Backwards? Isn't it bizarre?  Is this really America or is it Bizarro America?  It seems so different from when I was a kid.

On the other hand, here's something that helps me believe that all is not yet lost.  Mr. Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. Joe the Plumber, is thinking about running against U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur in 2012, according to Republican Party sources.  Not a bad idea, Joe.  More men and women of Middle America need to run for office and take out the trash that's "serving" us now.  That idea doesn't seem backwards at all; it seems like a good idea, a very good idea indeed.  That's the way it used to be a long time ago before things got all backwards.

Thanks for reading.

Something to Do

Like so many other people in this beloved country, I cannot keep quiet about the wrongs that we see coming out of Washington D.C. and our local state, county, and city governments.

I truly believe that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans DO NOT want to see the morbidly excessive spending by the government, the lies perpetrated by our politicians, and the overall dishonesty and subterfuge that our country's leaders are imposing on us.

I am not an eloquent speaker or writer. However, I can no longer just sit by and say nothing.  I find that Twitter, and the superb people that I follow, are providing me with much needed information and have caused me to ponder what the future holds for us as American citizens. To put it rather succinctly, we are screwed if things don't change.

We have a Socialist in the Oval Office.  I mean no disrespect to the actual office of the President, but this man, Obama, has an agenda that goes against the very core of values encompassed by the Founders of our great Nation.  Folks, blood was shed, many lives were given in the 1700's so that our nation would stand solid against tyranny.  They warred against oppression and the yolk of wicked leadership.  We find ourselves, I believe, in a very similar circumstance now.

If we do not vote into office the leaders of government that uphold TRUTH, CONSERVATISM, LIBERTY, AND FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PEOPLE DESIRE, we will lose the very same freedoms and liberties that our Forefathers fought so hard to instill.  We are witnessing the destruction of Liberty, from the inside out, by this current administration.  All they want is for citizens to depend upon government for EVERY SINGLE FACET OF LIFE. 

I challenge each of us to call them, email, and write our leaders and tell them to stop the gross spending, stop the trampling of our Constitution.  Tell them no more.  But I am afraid that our clarion calls are falling on deaf ears.  So, we must put new ears in office.  New leaders who know better and who have no other agenda than to serve the people; leaders who do not have the fattening of their wallets and the enhancement of personal power and gain as their main (and only) agenda.

Continue to fight.  Keep on blogging and learning.  Just do it.  If we don't make a stand now, we will not be able to when they finally strip away every freedom we have.  It will be too late.  Do not hesitate and do not wait a moment longer.

Please be patient with my writings and know that I will do my best to show my love for this greatest of countries. 

God Bless America!
