Independents and the Present Cowards

You can bet, a sure thing, that those who profess to be politically independent most likely didn’t and don’t vote.  When having a discourse in political current events, the independent will blankly stare into space and declare that they are independent.  The fact is all who vote are individuals that cast a single vote each.  To claim you are an independent is both intellectually dishonest and cowardly.  When the current government is overtly overthrowing the U.S. constitution and taking away the rights of the citizens, only a coward would not stand up and fight this tyrannical regime, known as the Obama administration.

What about those who claim to be independent and did vote?  It is a certainty that they voted democrat.  Here is the other side of claiming to be independent, they are dishonest.  Why would they lie about their convictions?  That brings up point one, they’re cowards.  The constituents that put the current president in office are a bunch of dishonest cowards and played a role in the destruction of a free society.  To identify yourself as an independent is to identify yourself as a person with a lack of conviction.

The United States is in a critical state.  We need citizens, first of all, who know what the definition of citizen is.  This takes on many forms, depending on what historical reference or philosophy is being used.  The ideal of the Declaration of the United States and the U.S. Constitution defines the citizen as a free person, with certain unalienable rights endowed by a creator.  The idea that mankind should be tyrannized by a few, is not who the U.S. citizen is.

Before you hide your head in the sand or run away from your duties as a U.S. citizen, make up your mind.  Are you a citizen of the United States of America, or are you independent?  We need more real Americans.  We need to retain our rights as a free people.  We need to be Americans.

Be careful what you ask for

Scripture has many stories that relate humans interacting with God.  Although, there are some who scoff at the Divine, this essay considers what humans want and getting what they asked for.  Before we get into the situation that we find ourselves in, that is the democrats electing Barack Obama as president of the United States, let’s see what history tells us about a people who got what they wanted.

Let’s look at Samuel 8:10-18 (NIV).

10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.

11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights:

He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.

12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.

14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.

15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.

16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.

17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.

18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

In the Book of Samuel, the Israelites got what they wanted.  Some people, like liberal, democrats from the U.S., consistently vote for godless laws and legislators, thinking they are above everyone else.  And they voted in a doozy with Barack Obama.  This guy is taking away all U.S. citizens’ life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.   The democrats got what they wanted.  The trouble with this is that it affects real Americans too.  The scripture has it right; your king will take everything for himself.  But in the case of the U.S., the president will take all your stuff.

No longer do Americans have a choice in healthcare, education or privacy.  The democrats have given up the sovereignty of the U.S. and is handing it over to the U.N.  What’s worse is that the democrats have even taken in from the future generations of Americans.  That’s right; democrats can be thought of as taking candy from a baby, before the baby is even born.  But democrats don’t like babies anyway.

All you conservative, real, Americans don’t relinquish what is being taken away.  Fight for what is ours.  Consider what history tells us.  We need a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  We need conservative leaders who believe in small, limited government and liberty for the people.

Proverbs 29:26 – Many curry favor with the ruler, but the rights of each are from the LORD.

King Solomon is generally recognized to have lived around 970-930 B.C.E. In the Bible, the Book of Proverbs is attributed to him, although many of the proverbs were collected from preexisting sources and were added to the text at a later date.  What strikes me is the age and the content of this proverb’s message.

The people who live in the United States are divided.  One group pays homage to their ruler Barack Obama, while the other group honors God the author of all their rights.  In this case, it is not what the president interprets as our rights, rather that God our creator, “has endowed us with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

To be truly an American is to recognize and live out your God-given rights and hold the government accountable.

As the election of 2012 draws ever closer, with about a month until we count all the ballots, I’m amazed at the submissive nature of the American populous.  On one hand, we have a sitting president who has by all indications has not pulled us out of this financial mess, divided the country and continues to usurp the U.S. constitution.  On the other hand, we have a contender for the presidency who has the experience and proven track record to lead us out of the worst state the U.S. has ever been in.  Even during the Great Depression we had a sense of pride for our country.  Today it seems that many Americans are asleep as we let the president and all his cronies sell us out to the rest of the world.

If it is possible, the U.S. needs to wake up.  What makes this situation worse than the Great Depression is that the U.S. may lose its sovereignty and out God given rights.  There is no question that many well-meaning people have been lulled into a state of complacency.  We live in a country that pays more attention to sports statistics than to their own personal needs.  The government on all levels has become corrupt and dangerous to their constituents.  Yet, most folks don’t care.  I am one of the few who is taking an active role.  Yet for the most part, people just don’t care about the greater good, they care only about themselves.

The thing to do is to know your history.  Over and over again, civilizations have come and go due to apathy and laziness.  We need to rouse ourselves and throw out the old guard and bring in those who will defend the constitution, those who believe in God.  As John Adams said “[W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.  Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

The Pursuit of Happiness, Forget About Life and Liberty

One of the obvious things regarding the presidency of B. Hussein Obama is his contempt for liberty.  Another hallmark of the Declaration of Independence is that all mankind has the right to life; this too is being dismissed by B-HO.  Although we have become deluded by the mass media that we are all happy, many, many people don’t seem really happy at all.  The drum beat of the president is, let the government take care of all your needs and you’ll be happy.  There is something inherently evil about this president.

It seems ironic that John Locke is the father of Classical Liberalism, the philosophy committed to the ideal of limited government, constitutionalism, jurisprudence, due process of law, and freedom of individuals.  Today this would be considered right wing radical thinking and very conservative.  The clash is really between the ideas of Locke and Marx, between Individual liberty and the total control of the state.  If you listen carefully to the words of B. Hussein Obama, you will hear about the state, but you won’t hear about liberty.

In fact, the one thing the Obama doesn’t address is liberty.  What makes Obama a terrible president of the United States is the fact he doesn’t defend our right to be free.  And it’s not only the U.S., he rejected the cause of the Iranian Freedom fighters, he wouldn’t acknowledge the cause of Cuba’s pro-democracy movement, and on and on he goes.  So how did such a miscreant become president of the United States?  My hunch is that the whole system is so corrupt that no one really noticed that another fox had just entered the hen house.  Only this wasn’t a fox, it was a rat.

So it goes with life.  Obama is the most pro-abortion president that this country has ever had.  Barack Obama voted no on a bill, when he was an Illinois senator, that would protect the life of an infant that survived an abortion.  His reasoning was that the bill would have infringed on Roe V. Wade.  And so he believes in the death of innocent children; so much for life.  Now Barack Obama wants to take away the right of freedom of religion by forcing Christian churches to pay for contraceptive and abortifacients.  B. Hussein Obama is truly the pro-death president.

With what little liberty we have left, we need to exercise in the voting booth.  As long as we still have the freedom to vote, we must vote him out of office.  He has proven himself a dishonest and corrupt president.  We must be rid of this clown.  Let us reflect on the words of the great patriot Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or Give me death.

Mob Rule: The End of a Republic

In light of the case of George Zimmerman allegedly shooting Trayvon Martin, I am reflecting on the mob rule mentality of the U.S. culture.  First of all this shooting is tragic.  The loss of life is seldom a thing to be joyous about.  But, we seem to be influenced to throw out all notion of jurisprudence and believe that Zimmerman is a racist out to kill blackie.  But there is always more to the story.  First of all, no one knows for sure what happened that night, except Zimmerman and Martin; and Martin is not doing any talking.  If I were to put myself in Zimmerman’s shoes, I’d be feeling very unsettled right now.  As far as the media and the left are concerned, it’s got nothing to do with a real human tragedy, but more about what their agenda is.

It seems that the left and the media want to take a walk down memory lane to a time when Jim Crow was alive and well.  Let’s all take a look at Emmett Till and compare Trayvon Martin to this crime.  I remember as a child, the struggle our country went through during Civil Rights, the march of the Freedom Fighters, and the Leadership of Martin Luther King Jr.  What the media doesn’t want you to know is that King was a Republican and many Caucasians walked side by side with Negroes championing the civil rights of all people of the United States.  We have forgotten the true intent of this movement.  It wasn’t so much about race as it was about freedom, and judging a person’s character, not the color of their skin.

Yet the media and the left will lead you to believe that racism is alive and well in America.  Why don’t we call a spade a spade, and tell it like it is; the media and left are inciting this hatred nouveau.  It has to do with the destruction of America by dividing its citizens.  It’s about mob rule.  If the left can get everyone so worked up, and lynch Zimmerman without his day in court, then real justice would be done.  But this is a travesty of justice.  We don’t have any facts.  And the media is reporting this as racially motivated.  When the media broke this story, I thought that Zimmerman was white.  I find out that he was Hispanic and a good citizen, when I did some digging into the story myself.

 

It turns out that the community where Zimmerman lives has had a rash of burglaries by black males, 13 in total.  It turns out that Zimmerman regularly took underprivileged children, many of them black, to outings so they could have positive experiences.  It turns out that Zimmerman was looking out for his neighbors.  All we have on Trayvon Martin is a five year old photo of him to make him look innocent.  Other than that, we don’t know if this guy was a punk or a gang banger.  We simply don’t know.  I found this photo on Angry White Dude’s site. http://angrywhitedude.com/ You decide.

So, before we take the bait and believe this fabrication to be a true story, let’s remember that one of the tenants of this republic is due process, that one is presumed innocent until proved guilty under the law.  Zimmerman will probably be dragged into court.  I just hope we don’t return to the days of the villagers, pitchforks, sickles and burning torches in hand demanding that an innocent person be killed.  Let’s keep the days of witch hunting in the past.  I hope that we will continue to have the right to defend our homes and ourselves.

An American Identity Crisis

As I sat watching a documentary about Appalachia, it occurred to me that the United States of America is suffering from an identity crisis.  Who are we?  Where did we come from and where are we going.  I come from a small town in Illinois, but I am not going to be buried there when I die.  So I have nowhere to call home in the land of my birth.  It’s not only a lack of culture that this country suffers from; it is a lack of identity.  We have come from somewhere else beyond the edges of this country.  Yet we have no identity.

We will soon be electing a leader for this country.  But it’s not the issues that will decide how we will cast our vote.  It is our identity, who we are, that will determine what sort of person best represents the character of this country.  The question of, “what do we want?” is insufficient.  The question needs to be, “Who are we?”  The United States seems to have elected someone who represents the wants of the masses, rather than a leader who identifies with the distinctiveness of the country.  What is American-ness?

We are a unique country that has discarded the cultural genesis from which it came.  The music, visual art, sports, and technology have all somehow come from other parts of the world and amalgamated into what is known as Americana.  However, within the last 20 years, culture has abandoned what truly identified American identity.  Somehow, popular culture dictates that our collective sexual desires are the very essence of what defines America.  How have we slipped so far down the cultural scale?

The leadership most needed in this country is to illuminate what it is to be American.  We don’t need a leader who will grant us all bread and circus.  We all know what we need.  What is important is to know who my brothers and sisters are my fellow Americans.  What makes me identifiable with them?  How do I know that these people are Americans?  We have lost our real leader the one who has truly created freedom for all mankind.  That one is God.  We ought to turn to Him, ask for his mercy, thank him for all of our blessings and plead for his divine providence.

The Chagrin of Renovating Bathrooms

Over the months, possibly the years I’ve noticed a steady decline of the bathroom of my home on the first floor.  The walls had never been painted and the original paint that appeared on the walls when I and the missus purchased the old farm house.  For all I know, this could have been the paint the old farmer put on in the 1950’s.  The toilet was giving me problems and would develop a leak around the base.  Gaining a little handy-man knowledge for my dad, I replaced the wax ring three times and it still managed to leak.

The missus noticed the leak first, as she does.  I feigned interest, knowing one day I would regret procrastinating on such ominous trouble.  Spring break was in a few weeks, so I put off the inevitable.  During that time the suspended ceiling started to sag in a most unflattering way.  The floor began to develop dark areas where the leak had penetrated beneath the top most surface.  The missus had placed a towel around the base of the toilet so as to prevent surface water from gathering.  The towel looked like a scarf that an English gentleman might wear around his neck in the cold season.  I tried not to look at it.  This was a project for spring break just a week away.

At last, spring break!  The time for rest and relaxation was upon us, and I aimed to make the most of it.  From the corner of my eye I could see the degradation that consumed my bathroom.  As I briskly walked past the commode, I could hear the last whimpers of an ailing shit house.  “If I continue to ignore this travesty, perhaps it will repair itself and I will be completely off the hook” I thought. Then Tuesday came, the second day of spring break, I told the missus “We got to take off that toilet and check it out.”  There is something humbling about kneeling in front of the toilet, in a totally sober state of mind.  I turned off the water, emptied out the tank and bowl, unhooked the water connections, unscrewed the floor bolts and ripped the son-of-a-bitch from the floor.  The missus and I dragged the filthy commode to the living outside the bathroom and there it sat.

There is no worse feeling than unintentional commitment.  Now, I had to act.  But I knew I was over my head.  I did the only thing a self respecting man of the house would do, call a contractor.  So the next day he arrived, with his assistant and ripped the floor out and replace the floor board.  Even the well seasoned construction worker couldn’t get right to the matter.  So I was relieved that I made the right choice and called him.  But the real work was yet to begin.  So I and the missus replaced the flooring, painted in a pretty powder blue, re-caulked put everything back.  The icing on the cake was going out and buying new towels and bath rug.  It was work, but worth all the effort.

As I was doing the renovations, I couldn’t help but strike a parallel with the decrepit state of my bathroom and the decrepit state of the United States.  It is uncanny how B. Obama has made our country into a shit house in disrepair.  Let’s face it the U.S. is in need of some serious renovation.  The first thing that needs replacing is to flush out Barack Obama.  At this point I would be happy to call upon the expertise of someone like Ron Paul to help with the reconstruction.  Although he may be more of a hatchet man than presidential, anyone of the GOP contenders would be a fine president over B-HO.  Because, right now, the U.S. is in the toilet and it ain’t smelling so good.

So as I reworked my bathroom, I thought of the plan to rework America.  First, rip out the moldy, smelly junk that is currently occupying the White House.  Do not get any union help.  They would keep the country in a state of disrepair.  Use regular folks, real Americans.  Throw the junk into the junk heap or burn it, just get rid of it.  Next, shore up the faulty flooring and make it solid, to hold the burden of years and years of neglect and abuse.  Finally, clean up the country; make it presentable, so the president doesn’t have to apologize for its condition.  Put on a new coat of paint, trim up the details and polish the chrome.  Make it sparkle once again.  Let’s face it, America is the place where most of the world’s wasted people, from other countries, people who know that they have an opportunity to be free in America, can come to the U.S. and flush away the restrictions they experienced.

Perhaps America is a beautiful restroom, with beautiful floors, abundant resources, serviced by the finest workers.  We and the whole world can come here and relieve ourselves of the oppressive governments that keep others bound up.  All can come to America, to wash off the filth of the world and refresh the soul.  We can see the wonderful decor and stand in awe of the sublime wonders, both natural and man made.  America is the place where we can dump the burden of oppression and feel healthy.  We ought to have the best place for our brothers and sister to come to and experience life, liberty and pursue happiness.  Let’s turn what Obama has made into an outhouse back into the White House.

The Fluke of another Sheehan

Let’s be perfectly clear, the democrats use women just like a pimp uses a whore.  On April 24, 2004 Casey Sheehan was killed in action while serving in the conflict in Iraq.  His mother, Cindy Sheehan, has suffered a loss that no mother ought to.  To protest the reasons why the United States took military action Iraq, Cindy Sheehan camped out President George Bush’s ranch in Texas.  President G. W. Bush met with her in June 2004 to talk with her and other military families.  Ms. Sheehan stated that President Bush said he was “sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know [he] feels pain for our loss. And I know he’s a man of God.”  Yet the democrats and the liberal media used Ms. Sheehan to advance their anti-conservative agenda.

Now that a democrat is the president, Ms. Sheehan is forgotten.  Although she opposes Barry Obama’s military policies, she is nowhere to be heard on the news.  What’s more, she is being sued by the I.R.S.  The left, the mainstream media and the democrats have forgotten about their anti-George Bush poster girl.  This brings me to Sandy Fluke.  This is her time in the spot light, to be picked up by the media to attack those who want to keep their right to religious freedom.  Ms. Fluke is no different than a prostitute that is being used by a pimp for monetary gain.  To promote the use of taxpayer money for contraceptives for women is all about getting more money from taxpayers.  It’s also about a personal attack on me.  The democrats have used Sandy Fluke to personally attack me and my religious freedoms.

The difference between Cindy Sheehan and Sandy Fluke is that Ms. Sheehan was prompted by the loss of her son.  Ms. Fluke is in it for the money.  She has an agenda, to subvert religious freedom in the United States.  Today, she is the darling of the main stream media; tomorrow, she will be thrown out with the trash.  Look at the list of women casualties brought on by the left, you can start with Hillary Rodham Clinton to Monica Lewinsky.  We will be adding Sandy Fluke’s name to the list.  Make no mistake about it; Fluke is collateral damage in a war against freedom.  Once the smug anchor’s from the nightly news of the main stream media are through with her she will be long forgotten.  Let’s see this for what it is, prostituting democrat women for a male democrat president.
