Far and above being politically correct, we must first be honest. The divide is not going to be narrowed until people face their fears and prejudice. Fear is an important human nature. Sometimes it is let go to a point where the object of the fear becomes such a focal point in the lives of people, the world becomes divided in the contradiction of what they know is right and how they actually feel.
In the wake of the firing of Juan Williams, I have looked inside myself to try to analyze the fears I have and search my heart for validity. It is human nature to react to fear and be anxious when put in positions which they are vulnerable.
I do not consider myself a bigot. I have always had love and respect for all races and creeds. But there are situations where a certain time of place injects fear and anxiety. Unfortuntely those times and places sometimes are inhabitied by people of a race or religion not my own. That does not make me a bigot if I feel aprehensive.
Like Juan Williams stated, when he boards a planeand is confronted by passengers in Muslim garb, it triggers memories of one of the most heinous crimes on humanity to ever exist on our own soil. At a party, a gathering, or on the street one may not think twice about a Muslim in their presence. The same goes for for entering the domain of certain races and nationalities known for gang wars and crime. When one walks through such a neighborhood, he fears that he might be mugged, or God forbid, killed.
The neighborhood can be inhabited by blacks, whites, Chinese, Hispanics, Muslims, ad/or whites. The fear is not based on the people themselves, but the location and history the place presents. Murderous people and violent criminals come from within all races and creeds. In certain places known to be inhabited by the likes of skinheads, black panther radicals, Muslim extremists, KKK, ethnic gangs, etc, it is not strange to feel afraid. It does not call for the label of bigotry when one honestly states he suffers fear and anxiety in such places.
A black man may feel more anxious in an area where there once was a history of violence at the hand of white radicals and KKK, even though it had not happened for quite some time. Airports trigger the fear of hijackers and terrorists, and the sight of a group of Muslims may exhasubate that fear. A sweating, obviously nervous white man typical of the characters portraying hijackers in movies will also raise the hairs of angst in any normal person. A Russian speaking businessman clutching a breifcase can cause people to be uneasy from memories of the cold war and media portrayal of them as killer spies. Even though one has not experienced directly the riots and life in "the hood" where gang members flourish, movies and television keep reminding us that it exists. Would you not feel threatened at the sight of Hispanic, White, or Chinese people in gang GARB as you proceed down the streets known as their turf?
Fear is a human emotion. There are people in our lives who may at one time or another trigger this fear. It does not automatically mean the fearful are bigots. The real bigots are the gangs and radicals who induce fear.

Juan Williams
I sit hear seething about the injustice done to Juan Williams. He was one Liberal who's statements I had no problem mulling around my mind. Bless Fox News for standing behind him...he has already received an extended contract from them for an expanded role in their organization. Shame on NPR for firing Juan, it mysteriously coincides with an over one million dollar "donation" to NPR by George Soros. I call for all public funding and our tax dollars to be withdrawn from funding NPR now and in the future. If George Soros intends to fund them and have a say in what free speech can and cannot be expressed by NPR employees, let him. It should no longer be considerd a publicly funded voice.
This only goes to prove that the far left Marxist and Socialist Democrats are far more dangerous than their own party realizes. They have powerful people (George Soros comes to mind) funding the agenda to fundamentally transform America to an all powerful government and nanny state.
They continue to tell you they are spreading the wealth and giving a leg up to lower class citizens so that our country will become a more middle class society. They want to limit the wealth of the entrepreneurs who have provided the jobs for the nation all these years. They want the government to control all aspects of society from health to wealth, energy to manufacturing, food to farming. Then only the government will be the elite class and they will regulate their country for the benefit of themselves and not the people.
Juan Williams, one of the few voices left of the moderate liberal society is just one of many being scarified and shunned by the new far left Democrats. I can see in the political mail I receive that most Democratic candidates are not including the fact they are Democrats on their political mail. Sometimes if you look closely you can see in very tiny print that the ad was funded by the Democratic Party, but most times, they do not include the affiliation.
Republicans almost blew it with the George Bush Progressive agenda and are now waking up to find that The People do not want either far left or far right politicians in charge of this Republic. Both sides are throwing stones at the Tea Party for their attempt to bring back our founding principles. The smart Republicans and Democrats are moving more center and that will be what saves our Republic.
I will not stand up for the Anarchy of the right or the Socialism of the left. I will continue to stand by those Patriots who understand and live by our Constitution.
Juan Williams, you are a Patriot, sir!
Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty and each action will be meaningless. (UNKNOWN)
Action
Coming from the mouths of dissenters
Not understanding the facts
Come deplorable denigrations
And remarkable negative acts
Shout only with you voice
If it comes right from your heart
Don't act with hostile hands
Unless your soul is truly a part
Stand with true believers
Not with crowds who riot for naught
And know that your decisions
Come from facts sincerely sought

Implications of E-10
I was always taught about the good intentions and the wonderful writings of certain writers like H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw. Most of what we learn comes from the media in one form or another. In my research I have found that over the years history has been rewritten, subverted, twisted, and generally has been used as a tool for subtle indoctrination of young minds. The fact is that through the information process governments and nations around the world wield control as to what their citizens believe, value, and do. The people believe generally what the media tells them to believe and as for the petty little world of journalism, the media demonstrates how it is careful to traffic only authorized ideas and opinions while it gives the impression of the presentation of free ideas and opinions. The reality is that it serves like jesters in a tyrants court.
Let's not stop with the media. Education, or what passes for education in our schools, is the biggest propaganda machine of all. Ideology fed to our children little by little in an orchestrated subtle way to form and mold an entire population of sheep, taught only to have faith and dependence on a government as their ultimate savior in all things. It's all about control.
Back in June I covered the Fabian Socialist and I see that yesterday Glenn Beck is getting around to it now. This of course is a British thing that gave birth to all kinds of secret crap around the world. The Fabians proved how easy it is to manipulate and control the people. That's only a fraction of what we have going on and has gone in the states. Tomorrow I will get into the E-10. It was a top secret group of ten men who could take over the USA completely at the whim of the president. At the time these ten men under Gordon Gray who was the director of the OFFICE OF EMERGENCY RESOURCES...now who ever heard of that? Then comes the OFFICE OF DEFENSE MOBILIZATION...both of which have grown over the years into what we now know as FEMA and HOMELAND SECURITY of which we are only aware of the surface activities.
Part of the original E-10 was Theodore Koop VP CBS which is the emergency censorship division, also Frank Stanton president of CBS who heads the emergency communications agency...(ever hear of that) Then there's Dr. George Pierce Baker of the Harvard Business School, in charge of emergency transport..."TRANSPORT"...More tomorrow, now to wonder why the media only reports what they want us to hear..THEY ARE THE GOVERNMENT on the shadow side.
Implications E-10 Part 2
You may see on rare times a newscaster mention something casually about big government. It seems that if they want to keep their jobs they keep their careers afloat by learning the fine art of evasion. They have skillfully learned how to dance around the important parts of the story and thus with much finesse they say a whole lot about nothing. DARE NOT OFFEND THOSE WHO WIELD POLITICO-ECONOMIC POWER! In keeping with the liberal agenda the media never asks why things happen as they do. Social problems are rarely associated with the politico-economic forces that create them. Imagine being critical of those who have such CONTROL over you and your business? Dare not report or cross that imaginary line! The media downplays stories of momentous magnitude or it isn't reported at all. Why is not the size of government, all it's secret agencies, the subversion of our educational systems, and the lies concerning our financial systems never seem to come to light via our media? Is it because of the fact that the government is now the media and they toss a few things our way to avoid drawing even more suspicion to themselves?
The press is a great keyboard on which the government can play "(Joesph Goebbels) Nazi propaganda minister for Hitler.
The simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of the basic SYSTEM PRINCIPLES on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and DISTRACTED with matters of no real importance on the other hand. This is achieved by :1.) disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design and economics; discouraging technical creativity. 2) Engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by: a) unrelenting emotional afforestation's and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media-especially the TV and newspapers. b) giving them what they desire...in excess..."junk food for thought"...and depriving them of what they really need. Keep up maximum diversion and the people won't see, keep the crap out front so that there is no outlet for the truth and now that the people are boxed in these multiple agencies can continue to grow without notice.
"Media manipulation in the U.S. today is more efficient than it was in Nazi Germany, because here we have the pretense that we are getting all the information we want. That misconception prevents people from even looking for the truth." Mark Crispin Miller
Over the last six decades the government have positioned themselves to OVERTHROW THE PEOPLE...sounds crazy...radical! Research on your own, in detail...TRANSITION TO OLIGARCHY...That will be it for today.
Part 3 Implications of the expanded E-10
With each expansion of government activity it has always been under the disguise of benefiting the people, of protecting the people, and has always been presented to the people as one of the benefits of a free society. This of course is my opinion, it is the greatest of all lies. Never anywhere in the history of the world has a government ever had the Noble intention as motivation of existing exclusively for the benefit of it's citizens. It is nearly impossible to see the truth as the government takes from the evil rich and gives it to those who are less motivated.
"Under socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You will be forcibly fed, clothed,lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all the trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner, but whilst you are permitted to live, you will have to live well." George Bernard Shaw.
So now back to the expansion of government. In order to carry out this expansion complete control is essential. Control of the media, the financial institutions, the military, and all other necessary functions that ALLOW the people to exist. Once the government is expanded, and it usually happens literally un-noticed then complete control becomes possible to advance toward total world governance. This I see as the general course of things...this of course explains why in recent months our government has grown by one third and continues to grow...it's the march to the new world order.
Do I sound insane? Join me tomorrow when I continue with my investigation into the UN and the elements of the new world order, THE ROUND TABLE GROUP, ROTHSCHILD AND THE ILLUMINATI, AND THE CFR...You may want to check these out...they are a part of the master plan. (Remember that fear makes the wolf bigger than he is)

Oligarchy and what is it?
Oligarchy and what is it?
Oligarchy is a Greek word meaning to rule, govern, to command. It's a type of government that has evolved from purer forms of government...even from free democracies. History shows that once a government evolves into oligarcy they are tyrannical and are reliant on public servitude in order to exist. A well knownfictional oligarchy is represented in the book 1984 by George Orwell.
Robert Michels (a German socialologist) that any political system eventually evolves into oligarchy. He went on to say that modern democracies should be considered as oligarchies. In these systems actual differences between viable political rivals are small, the oligarchic elite impose strict limits on what constitutes an acceptable and respectable political position, and politicians careers DEPEND heavily on UNELECTED AND MEDIA ELITES. (Note prior discussion on CZARS and the mainstream media) Thus comes the popular phrase that there is only one political party...THE INCUMBANT PARTY!
Let me ask you this...does this sound familiar?...Corporate oligarcy is a form of POWER, governmental or operational, WHERE SUCH POWER effectively rest with a small elite group of INSIDE INDIVIDUALS, educational institutions, commercial entities such as banks, or large corporations (GE) that act in complicity with or at the whim of the oligarchy, OFTEN WITH NO REGARD FOR CONSTITUTIONALY PROTECTED PREOGATIVE. oTHER LARGE CORPORATIONS ARE TAKEN OVER BY THE GOVERNMENT OR BY THE LEAST REGULATED TO THE POINT THAT THEY CAN'T TAKE A CRAP WITHOUT GOVERNMENT APPROVAL.
We started on the road to Oligarcy in 1913 when ammendments to our orignal constitution opened the door for more government control...those who think that the constitution should be an absolute should examine the ammendments which changed the complection of the original document. We need to know what we're talking about when we shout from the mountain tops...DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE CONSTITUTION! From the basic concept and the original document we should follow to the letter, but a door was opened to complete oilgarchy with the 16th ammendment (Starts collllateralization of American prosperity Feb 1913) The 17th ammendment effectively removes states from any role/check on Federal authority...which means no other law can serve to exceed a federal law or mandate (ARIZONA TODAY) and now comes the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT...which takes monotary matters out of the hands of the people and into the hands of the bankers and the world banks such as the IMF and of course out of the scrutiny and accountability to even our own congress.
Since 1913 our country regardless of party continues to change, little by little, dose by dose. In 1971 just about everything was in place for our government to be considered an oligarchy...Study up on the 16th ammendment, 17th ammendment, and the federal reserve act of 1913...This of course will give you a better understanding as to how we as a country have legislated ourseves right to where we are right now. Some say it's the excesses of the people...I say it's the excesses of government getting bigger and bigger. The next phase of our evolution is pure socialism, then comes communism, then total collapse...There is a solution, and I will go into that at a later date.

James Madison from his ratification speech at the Virginia convention on June 16th, 1788...
" There are more instances of the bridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by VIOLENT AND SUDDEN USURPATIONS"
Implications
All powerful has been the USA
It has been the place to go
Immigrants find it the place to be
To have their children grow
So fair our country has been to us
So free we were to live
We were given the right and ability to prosper,
To err and to forgive
Now comes those who beg to differ
Right from our own communities
They want us all to fall in line
With lands of no opportunities
Social and Fiscal justice has been
The bain of most existance
For people who'd rather be like us
At their government's resistance
Now progressive politics sees our future
As a global world economy
In which we all should share the wealth
Our wills no longer free
If they have thier way our nation falls
Our power no longer respected
As Socialism tightens its grasp
Our country now infected
The power of the people is gone
The government holds all the cards
As we'll live in mediocrity
In the changing of the guard
They'll care for us, just how they wish
In the new found nanny state
No longer can we seek success
Just the food upon our plate
No childhood dreams of who we'll be
We'll be just what they say
If we sit back and accept it all
The new "American" way

The Story of Barack
This quote comes from the Communist party chairman SAM WEBB.
QUOTE
The impossible becomes possible with the election of President Barack Obama. YES WE CAN!!!!
The Story of Barack
In the wake of his silver tongued rhetoric
Behind the support of hopeful Americans
The first black president took the oath
Amid the chants of "Yes We Can!"
Americans bought into the hope and change
And the promises that he made
But were disillusioned by the path
And the support did slowly fade
Visitors to the White House scored
Numbers of Marxist and Socialist guests
As changes were corruptly initiated
That were clearly not for the best
Appointments of Czars with questionable pasts
Brought Patriots to their ire
As Obama threw the American people
Into the flames of Socialistic fire
Health care was passed, Pelosi cackled
And Reid reveled in the acheivement
Barack used back door politics
To the Americans' berievement
Wars were waged day by day
Not on enemies but our own citizens
Against Fox News, Tea Partiers,
Arizona and other denizens
The race card was played not once but often
And good people were labeled haters
When in truth it was the White House staff
Who were the instigators
Tours were made around the world
Obama bowed and apologized
For the acts of his United States
To countries we once dispised
Parties at the White House,
Vacations to the shore
Golf and liesure, there was plenty of that
With unemployment galore
Pelosi mocked the Tea Party
The Pathers were protected from prosecution
Obama blamed the Bushes
As ACORN abetted prostitution
They call the Repulicans the party of NO
But someone must stop the insanity
As our country becomes a nanny state
Meant to smother our humanity
So there you have it, and it's not over
There are two years left to go
Barack and company have plenty of time
For our government he'll overthrow

Our assistance is at your command
Don't worry about being a working man
Our goverment has an awesome plan
Take from those who work the most
To put the butter on the people's toast
So everyone can stand and boast
Everything is free so we can coast
Tax the people who have the wealth
Make them pay for the nation's health
No need to take care of yourself
Because the rich will stock your pantry shelf
But there are rules to how we play
Consequences you'll have to pay
More freedom is lost now day by day
It is the new American way
Thriving companies plan their escape
Only for survival sake
No one to tax shall be our fate
They cut and run before it's too late
Government is now in full control
Complete authority is their ulimate goal
Now the majority is on the public dole
They own your life, your respect, your soul

We organize for protection
Why don't we protect ourselves?
We organize to be fed
Can't we feed ourselves?
We organize a workforce
Paying to bargain for our pay
If the money is not good enough
We organize a strike that day
We organize our health care
In case something might go wrong
Instead of just catastrophies
Preventive care must go along
That drives the cost to staggering
Administrative heads the fees
Why don't we pay for ordinary care
Why must everything be free?
We organize the schools
To learn our ABC's
Add complicated programs
For everyone to please
We organize a congress
So they can legislate
But they make law what fills their pockets
While the public becomes irate
We organize a Tea Party
To help us say just what we mean
About going back to basics
To where we all have been
They organize progressives
To call us racists loons
How much longer 'til they get tough
And call out their strong arm goons?
They organize the czars
Who have agendas and will not budge
Before they use their power
They'll play games and try to nudge
If ever there was a government
I thought surely would succeed
It was the one the Founders built
Patriotic they were indeed
But it's grown to mass proportions
Their powers won't abate
And we'll become a Socialist country
And a typical nanny state

The purpose of the government is to rein in the rights of the people BILL CLINTON
The Stallion, Liberty
Liberty is an awesome steed
Free to run in all his grace
Government is now a wrangler
With a truth we all must face
Liberty, the stallion, is roped
Bridled tight and firm
They will rein him in and slow him down
Throughout their elected term
Patriots are the jockeys
To let liberty run and be
The winner of the triple crown

When we walk, walk with purpose and command presence. Embrace this purpose completely and bring our grievances to task to let those who seek to destroy our American way of life. Know our resolve and that we are dedicated without compromise to restore the honor and dignity of America as it was meant to be. We will not submit ourselves as slaves or dependants of a monster government, but with self-reliance and a true heart defeat this enemy from within with truth. Truth eventually defeats all tyrants.

Now is not the time to walk away
With shoulders slouched, staring at the ground
It is now the time to say
I'm ready for another round
Now is not the time to feel
That defeat is now upon us
It is now the time to reveal
The heart we share amoung us
Now is not the time to weep
For a fallen country of which we love
Now is the time to stand and speak
To join with neighbors and rise above
Now is not the time to question our God
And go it alone in naked disparity
Now is the time to stand and nod
And lead our country in solidarity
Now is not the time to shrink and fold
And hand our future to unscrupulous men
Now is the time to question bold
Resisting Socialist actions again and again
Now is the time to look at your children's faces
And think again about what you will leave them
Do you want for them what this time replaces
Is it impossible to retrieve them?
Hundreds of thousands traveled to D.C.
To find honor in their souls
All prayed together not one, but we
Leaving confident and consoled
Now is not the time to discard your hope
It is needed now, much more than ever
Together we will find the will to cope
Faith, hope, and charity forever

A Second Look
A Second Look
Take a walk through life beside me
It's all out there
For me to share
Let me show you now all that I can see
If you give your eyes a second chance
Do you see the garden and not the flowers?
The buzzing bee
So busy but free
To see it all you can look for hours
If you give your eyes a second chance
Can you see the mountain's majesty?
Or just how high
It reaches to the sky.
To miss its essence is a tragedy
If you don't give your eyes a second look
Have you seen the people walking past you
Worried faces
Frantic paces
Looking for a line to cast you
But you don't give them a second look
How many gardens grow and die
Before you know the reason why?
How many friends are never met?
One kindness someone will never get.
Have you seen your life as it passes by?
Day by day
Same old way
Looking straight ahead as masses fly
Never to give their day a second look.

Hidden Treasures
Hidden Treasures
If you do not want a kid to have something, do NOT hide it. Kids do not care about things that they are allowed to have. On the other hand, if they are not allowed to have it there is an insurmountable intrigue until the forbidden item is found.
Ruby always hid the Fletcher's Castoria in the high cupboard over the ice box. Once in awhile she would give us a spoonful when our tummies hurt. First off, it didn't taste all that bad. Secondly, it made us feel better. We had within our midst a miracle bottle of forbidden stuff that we were not allowed to have. They hid candy and cupcakes from us, too. This must be even better since they are hiding it so high up in the secret cupboard.
Did Ruby really think a Dixon child would not be able to scale the cupboard by sliding a kitchen chair a few feet across the room? Did she really think that Marian did not have the capacity to boost little Donnie onto the ice box? It was all too easy and we ran off with our prize and imbibed until the bottle was emptied beyond a droplet.
We were able to make the first bathroom run in time because we were playing upstairs near the sight of disposal. But when we were downstairs both Donnie and I made runny poo poo in our little drawers (mine being the kind with lace poofed onto the back of my pretty little undies that made my pedal pushers bulge out in the back).
Ruby cussed like a sailor as she had to follow us upstairs to rinse out our clothes, wash our hineys and dress us for the day...again. During the rinse wash and dress we each had to run to the toilet several times until Ruby thought to ask us what we had gotten into to make us so sick. Donnie and I glanced at each other and said in our small, innocent voices in unison "nothing...." To which brought on Ruby's tirade about "You little house apes expect me to believe you are shitting down your goddam legs for no reason at all? Let me get my switch!"
That's all we needed, a switch across our poor little sore bony backsides! We fessed up about the bottle of Fletcher's Castoria and spent the rest of the day where Ruby parked us in front of the bathroom door, in our skivies and with orders to eat an entire box of saltine crackers.
I have never had another spoonful of Fletcher's Castoria to this day.

NASCAR and Oatmeal
NASCAR and Oatmeal
The phone rings and as I look at the caller ID my somewhat bright day has gotten a bit sunshine diminished. It's my mother calling. I try to understand that she is soon to be eighty five. And I am not the only adult child who has ever had to deal with an eighty five year old parent who lives alone. But I can tell you right now, my mother has quirks that could make other eighty-five year old parents seem like saints.
First of all, she is now and has forever been a child in an adult body. She throws temper tantrums, threatens never to speak to me again, disowns me, and in a jealous nature tries to sabotage my relationships with others. I don't claim to be the only recipient of this behavior, my sisters and brothers have felt her childish wrath as well. I can only speak for myself, though, because my coping mechanisms are much different than that of my siblings.
I believe she has told each and every one of us we could never come home after we have left to pursue a relationship. Some of us were smart enough to take her seriously and escape to far away places where she can only torture them via phone calls and during short visits. I was not one of the smart ones.
My siblings either fell into relationships that worked and are still going strong, or when they failed have been smart enough to stay away. I, on the other hand, kept coming home or never moved far enough away. So my mother latched on to me for reliance and never let go. Perhaps that is why I have developed personality disorders such as OCD and clinical depression. Oh, and we cannot forget the nervous tics and eating disorder which led me to become a huge blimp with legs. For some reason after I talk to my mother I have the urge to eat sixteen pounds of pure chocolate or 24 gallons of ice cream.
For 12 years my mother lived in a mobile home on my property and thoroughly wreaked havoc on my life. I admit I have indentured myself to the torture of relating to two senior citizens in close proximity by marrying a man near my mother's age. To make matters worse, they are mortal enemies. You see, mom tried to sabotage that relationship 28 years ago and failed. She doesn't like to fail. And Bob doesn't like the fact she even tried and he doesn't like to forget.
When I would come home from work, my mother would pop her head out the back door and begin her greeting by saying (every day, mind you) "Do you know what Bob did today?" Then I would stand there with my bladder bulging, crossing my legs, hoping I would not pee my pants, and listen as she related all the negative things she could conjure up about my dear husband. "Yeah, I will talk to him about it." I'd say as I headed for my house. I will have just about reached the back door when it flies open to reveal Bob wearing a scowl and announcing "Do you know what you mother did today?"
We have since sold our property and mom has taken up residence next to my oldest sister, the nurse. Patty is not one to let mom walk on her. She escaped early and spent her life preparing for mom's old age by taking care of her difficult mother-in-law and being the head of a nursing home. I don't believe she is actually as prepared as she thought she would be. I now get the daily call "Do you know what Patty did today?"
As frustrating as my mother makes my life I am resigned to making or receiving a daily call and one visit per week to her apartment. The daily calls have become anywhere from two to ten calls per day.. The weekly visit remains one but since I do not drink or do drugs I prepare for my visit by blasting my radio at full volume for the 35 mile trip in hopes that I will be deaf when I get there. I stop by the local Taco Bell so I can bring her two burritos. One for now, the other for later. That insures that I will be on her good side for at least the first half hour. I quickly find myself sidling up to her bad side as I am not smart enough to agree with her on her favorite subjects of NASCAR (which I hate to talk about and find it hard to even listen) and how to make and eat instant oatmeal.
I have learned two things in my life about dealing with my mother. One: just listen and don't criticize that Jeff Gordon has not finished in the top ten that week. Let her rant and rave while I nod my head once in awhile. Number Two: Agree whole heartedly that instant oatmeal shall be made and eaten from a glass measuring cup. Do not argue the point. You don't actually have to do it, just agree that it should be done and you will definitely go out and buy a glass measuring cup for that purpose.

Ruby's Last Weeks and the House on Perry Street
Strange things began to happen when we moved into the house at 608 Perry Street. I had never in my life had any psychic experiences, but there was just something about that place that had me tuned into things I didn't understand. Neighbors had told us stories about how our landlord's husband began to have bouts of withdrawal and depression soon after they had moved in there. One night he left the house and took his sports car down Route 250 and crashed at high speed into the bridge abutment in Avery. According to witnesses, it appeared to be a purposeful act...suicide. The man's wife and kids moved out of the house and rented it to our family. It didn't take long before strange things would occur.
We had several dogs at that time. My German Shepherds, Kimmie and Samantha, and three boxers...Rebel, Toastie, and Bridgette. Toastie and Bridgette had to be forced to come into the house. Rebel would come in but would not remain in a room by himself. Kimmie and Samantha refused to go upstairs, even though for as long as I had them they would sleep with me wherever I was. I slept upstairs at that house and they never joined me.
It seemed that as a family everything went downhill when we moved into that house. It may have been a coincidence, but my life as a happy-go-lucky teenager ended when we moved there. I became moody and withdrawn and didn't care to associate with as many people as I once had. Donnie began to drink heavily at the tender age of 15 and even attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of his upstairs bedroom window. It wasn't that much of a drop, so in his rag doll-like drunken state he was not hurt. He continued to re-enter the house and jump out the window until we had to call the police to come and get him.
One night I had an intense dream and woke up feeling extremely hot and felt I was surrounded by fire. It felt so real I walked through the house searching for smoke or flames. I chalked it up to a bad dream, but to this day the hair stands up on my arms when I think about how reaistic the heat felt to me that night as I dreamed or imagined flames shooting up around me. The very next night I went out with my three best friends for a night on the Ave and hanging out at Frisches. One of my friends, Bunny, lived two doors down from me on Perry Street. There was one house between us where a couple and their young chldren lived. As I related my dream to Bunny, Carol, and Sandy over a fish sandwich and cchoccolate cake at Frisches that evening, Bunny was aghast in that she had an almost identical dream the night before at approximately the same time I had my dream. She even woke her father to tell him about it. We were spooked but went on with our Friday night ritual of buzzing the Ave and panhandling for quarters for gas. whenever we saw anyone we knew who might be willing and able to contribute. Our night concluded and after Bunny and I dropped off Sandy and Carol, we headed for our homes on Perry Street, only to ffind several police cars sitting in front of my house and our next door neighbor's house. As we exitied my Corvair the nine year old girl from next door ran to me and in tears wrapped her arms around me screaming that her brother and cousins had just died in a house fire on Finch Street where they were trapped in an attic bedroom with no way to escape. They found their little bodies huddled next to the window. Bunny and I looked at each other in shock and never forgot the impact our dreams had on us because of the reality of what happened the next night.to those poor helpless children.
Fast forward to early December, 1969. As a typical teenager I didn't ccare much for the fact I had to be a chauffer for my Grandma Ruby. I was always the one to have to lug her around town for her shopping trips and pick her up at designated times and places. She was never where she was supposed to be when it came time to pick her up and I selfishly copped an attitude everytime she made me wait somewhere for her. I had places to go and people to see, you know. This particular Saturday my plans were once again put on hold as I waited for Ruby in front of the Jupiter dime store. Again she was late and again I sat there waiting. For some reason, though, I had this feeling come over me I had never felt before. It is to this day hard to describe, all I can say it was a peace and loving compassion I had never experienced before as I peered into the doors of the store and watched Ruby methodically go through a table full of socks knowing that I was waiting for her outside. I thought to myself, "She's not going to be around much longer." My eyes welled up with tears and I knew inside that soon I would be missing her and would regret I would no longer have the opportunity to haul her around and wait for her as she shopped downtown on Saturdays. This would be her last shopping trip. The next few weeks she said she didn't feel like going anywhere and she never aked me to take her shopping again. Many of the socks she had gone through on that table that December day would find their way into gift wrap and be set under our 1969 Christmas tree as her gifts to us that year.
On the first week of January in 1970 I had gone to bed after my nightly spider search. You see, I had a terrible fear of spiders and could not sleep until I had Donnie help me search my room for spiders lying in wait to terroize me while I slept. Sometimes I would awaken with the feeling we may have missed an elusive spider and I would wake Donnie and have him come to my room and re-inspect it before I went back to sleep. He always complied. Here I was a senior in high school, nearly eighteen years old and still having my younger brother protect me from one of my irrational phobias. This night when I woke up in the middle of the night I had no interest in a spider hunt. I made my way to the desk I had n my room and began to, without prior thought or design, draw a pencil sketch in my art book. When finished the sketch was of five hooded figures in black robes at the bottom of the paper, a large hand and arm extending downward from the top of the paper gentley clasped a sixth robed figure lifting it away from the five left below. I closed the art pad and went back to bed. The next morning I remembered the drawing and again sat down at my desk to inspect my midnight impulse while fully awake. At that time, I didn't know what it meant, but a few days later there were five of us left in the house as Ruby was taken away after having died in her sleep.
The night Ruby died I sat in the living room watching television and she came out of her room in good spirits joking that she was going to pitter patter her way to the bathroom. I laughed to myself that she had never pitter pattered anywhere as long as I had known her. Her mobility was restricted for years as she would shuffle through the house on paiful feet grunting as she made each step. It was odd, I didn't remember hearing her grunting in pain as she walked that night..Johnny Carson had just ended and she would return to her room and turn off her TV to go to sleep one final time. The next morning Kim awoke in the bed she shared withh Ruby and was not able to awaken her. Kim then went to mom and told her that Gram would not get up and get her and Shelly ready for school. Mom was working the night shift at Bud and Nolie's bar so Ruby would dutifuly rise to make breakfast and send us off to school. They estimated Ruby died around one o'clock A.M. Not long after pitter pattering her way to the bathroom and turning off the TV after having watched Johnny Carson.
Ruby was laid to rest after having passed away on January eighth 1970. The next six weeks were eerie in our home. Sometimes at night the curtains that were in place in Ruby's doorway instead of a door would part around one o'clock each morning. They would not blow, there was no air or wind to blow them...they would part in separate directions. The once warm room remained cold for that six week period and a smell of lilacs would eminate from the room. We went through that room with a fine tooth comb and could not find the source of the lilac smell. No one ever slept in that room again.
After leaving that house I have never had premonitions or any other psychic type experiences. The next place we lived was not a place our dogs would be afraid to enter. I often look back and wonder if what I had experienced in that house was real or my imagination. I kept the drawing of the six hooded figures for many years. You cannot convince me that there was not something about that house that infiltrated my psyche and caused fear in our dogs. Oh, and once before we moved away from there I received a tearful and terror driven call from my little sisters, Kim and Shelly while I was at work at my dad's shoe store in Huron. They asked me to please come home. They had seen Gram and was scared.
We had several dogs at that time. My German Shepherds, Kimmie and Samantha, and three boxers...Rebel, Toastie, and Bridgette. Toastie and Bridgette had to be forced to come into the house. Rebel would come in but would not remain in a room by himself. Kimmie and Samantha refused to go upstairs, even though for as long as I had them they would sleep with me wherever I was. I slept upstairs at that house and they never joined me.
It seemed that as a family everything went downhill when we moved into that house. It may have been a coincidence, but my life as a happy-go-lucky teenager ended when we moved there. I became moody and withdrawn and didn't care to associate with as many people as I once had. Donnie began to drink heavily at the tender age of 15 and even attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of his upstairs bedroom window. It wasn't that much of a drop, so in his rag doll-like drunken state he was not hurt. He continued to re-enter the house and jump out the window until we had to call the police to come and get him.
One night I had an intense dream and woke up feeling extremely hot and felt I was surrounded by fire. It felt so real I walked through the house searching for smoke or flames. I chalked it up to a bad dream, but to this day the hair stands up on my arms when I think about how reaistic the heat felt to me that night as I dreamed or imagined flames shooting up around me. The very next night I went out with my three best friends for a night on the Ave and hanging out at Frisches. One of my friends, Bunny, lived two doors down from me on Perry Street. There was one house between us where a couple and their young chldren lived. As I related my dream to Bunny, Carol, and Sandy over a fish sandwich and cchoccolate cake at Frisches that evening, Bunny was aghast in that she had an almost identical dream the night before at approximately the same time I had my dream. She even woke her father to tell him about it. We were spooked but went on with our Friday night ritual of buzzing the Ave and panhandling for quarters for gas. whenever we saw anyone we knew who might be willing and able to contribute. Our night concluded and after Bunny and I dropped off Sandy and Carol, we headed for our homes on Perry Street, only to ffind several police cars sitting in front of my house and our next door neighbor's house. As we exitied my Corvair the nine year old girl from next door ran to me and in tears wrapped her arms around me screaming that her brother and cousins had just died in a house fire on Finch Street where they were trapped in an attic bedroom with no way to escape. They found their little bodies huddled next to the window. Bunny and I looked at each other in shock and never forgot the impact our dreams had on us because of the reality of what happened the next night.to those poor helpless children.
Fast forward to early December, 1969. As a typical teenager I didn't ccare much for the fact I had to be a chauffer for my Grandma Ruby. I was always the one to have to lug her around town for her shopping trips and pick her up at designated times and places. She was never where she was supposed to be when it came time to pick her up and I selfishly copped an attitude everytime she made me wait somewhere for her. I had places to go and people to see, you know. This particular Saturday my plans were once again put on hold as I waited for Ruby in front of the Jupiter dime store. Again she was late and again I sat there waiting. For some reason, though, I had this feeling come over me I had never felt before. It is to this day hard to describe, all I can say it was a peace and loving compassion I had never experienced before as I peered into the doors of the store and watched Ruby methodically go through a table full of socks knowing that I was waiting for her outside. I thought to myself, "She's not going to be around much longer." My eyes welled up with tears and I knew inside that soon I would be missing her and would regret I would no longer have the opportunity to haul her around and wait for her as she shopped downtown on Saturdays. This would be her last shopping trip. The next few weeks she said she didn't feel like going anywhere and she never aked me to take her shopping again. Many of the socks she had gone through on that table that December day would find their way into gift wrap and be set under our 1969 Christmas tree as her gifts to us that year.

Balanced World
Different perspectives are the engine that keeps the world spinning

Balanced World
Who is to say I'm right?
It may only be a form of perception
Or how I see it through my eyes
It may clearly be deception
Who is to say I'm wrong?
Have you reviewed the pertainant facts?
Perhaps I was misled
By suspicious kinds of acts.
This life is filled with people
Who have so many perceptions
And we can only hope they all
Are complete with their inspections
If the world were tilted my way
She would never spin very true
But will balance by other perceptions
Presented by people like you
Our world will spin so pefectly
Balanced by knowledge and truth
That is why we grow and change each day
From the inception of our youth

Fighting Back
QUOTE
The directors of the CFR make up a sort of Presidium(social countries that act on behalf of legislation) for that part of the establishment that guides our destiny as a nation.
Fighting Back
Forget about our liberty
Forget about our rights
Step firmly on our dignity
As you clearly set your sights
Control us with your legisltion
Use democracy as a rouse
Make laws in secret behind our backs
Any way you choose
Ignore our pleas for representation
As the lobbyists have your ear
It's they who pay for your lifestyle
That's really very clear
Swing left, swing right it doesn't matter
You are all filled with deciet
Propose toasts when our taxes make you fatter
It makes your life complete
Blame each other for failed plans
Burn each other at the stake
As you sit on the hill with your demands
Being instituted for your own sake
Never mind the people here
We are used only to make you rich
But as we grow sronger you'll know your fear
Hey, ain't life a bitch!
Spend, and spend, and spend some more
It really ain't your money
As our country falls to unsustainable debt
In our land of milk and honey
Spread the wealth of those who earned
And made this country sail
While you in government take control
Of industry you've made fail
Be the ones who have the say
About anything we do
Put everybody in their place
But it doesn't pertain to you
Elephants and asses
It makes no matter now
For We The People are coming
And about to show you how
The Constitution has been waddded up
Into a tiny ball
By politicians just like you
Progressives one and all
Americans have been asleep
Frankly, for too long
We the People are coming
We're about to prove you wrong
So Congressmen in bed with those
Bent on our destruction
Step aside, you're finished now
As we begin reconstruction

As The Door Swings Shut
The real rulers of Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. (he said this in 1952)
As The Door Swings Shut
It was meant in the beginning
This country is to be
For the people, by the people
Folks like you and me
As lawmakers were to heed our wishes
And others were to enforce them
The president would be in charge
With his staff to re-enforce them
We were to be the ones who ruled
Far behind the scenes
It was our country after all
By every way and means
Come forth we have progressives
With ideas planted in their heads
To transform our republic
Away from what our founders said
They didn't expect the fallout
Of Americans tried and true
They didn't expect us all to stand
To do what we could do
Step aside, you Socialists
And Marxists hit the road
We true Americans are determined
To restore our founders' code
As quickly as you took your power
With your lies and false pretense
We'll take you down lawfully
As our hearts are so intense
There will not be the violence
You predicted when your plans were questioned
We'll peacefully and lawfully
Steer our country in our direction
Your adminsistration thought we could be nudged
Into complacency
But you found that patriots can't be budged
As we're borne to decency
The laws will again be written
With The Peoples' welfare in mind
Take that for what it means today
As the door hits your behind

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom"
QUOTE
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom"
Thomas Jefferson
3rd President of the United States
Honesty
Not at all as simple as a little white lie
When dishonesty is meant to get one by
When lies are nothing but your foundation
Your life becomes an abomination
Not all as simple as stretching a truth
When it becomes a way to show your couth
When it's stretched beyond what will snap back
It's time to set your sails and change your tack
Not all as simple as twisting the facts
There comes a time when your credibilty lacks
When twisting facts is a daily grind
It's clear you are the dishonest kind
When books of fiction are all about you
In everything you say and do
It's time to untangle your fictional ways
And find that truth is all that pays
When people are tired of hearing lies
And your credibility shrivels and dies
Nothing you say is to be seriously taken
And soon you are one to be forsaken

My musings on Illegal immigration and unions
One of the top resons people give for allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the USA is that they will work the jobs that Americans do not want to work. That may be true in a booming economy, but as it stands right now, Americans need the jobs that they shunned in the past. More and more people are finding it neccesary to find work at minimum wage. Employers who do not want to pay minimum wage give jobs to illegals who will actually work for less. In my honest opinion, employers who do not adhere to the minimum wage laws are just as guilty, and maybe even more-so, than the people crossing the border to take these jobs. Those employers should be held accountable.
I live in the north central part of the good old USA. Here, we do not have an overabundance of illegal immigrants to take these lower paying jobs such as hotel maids, laundry workers, amusement park personnel, etc. These jobs are for the most part filled by legal Americans of all races and nationalities who need work. It also supplies jobs for teenagers and young people wo are newly graduated and need to have some kind of employment to get started or work their way through college. People will take these jobs at minimum wage AND pay taxes in doing so. We do not need illegals here to do these jobs. I, myself, worked sevral minimum wage jobs (many at the same time) before I finally found my life's career at the age of twenty eight.
On another note, I have in my own mind concluded that today's unions are doing more harm to our economy than good. The big unions are sucking our economy dry and chasing away businesses that could be employing Americans. They have bargained Americans right out of jobs by pricing the workforce so out of reach of many companies that they have no other recourse but to move their compnies overseas. Don't people realize that the higher the wages and benfits, the higher the prices that have to be charged for goods and services? So you get the hourly wage increase and better benefit package. Fine, but you are going to be spending it all on higher priced cars, groceries, and services. The only people who benefit are the unions who are paid by YOU to bargain for all this smoke and mirrors. The big union heads bask in their riches and watch as you think you are moving up the ladder of wealth only to be paying even more to exist than the lower wages you had in the beginning. Think about it. And of course, the big unions are funding your government representatives with their lobby to pass all the laws and regulations THEY want.
Just my thoughts and opinions on this day, May 22, 2010.

Arizona's Immigration Law
PHOENIX - As the debate over Arizona's new immigration law continues, there's a growing debate about the difference between Arizona's law and the existing federal immigration law.
Governor Brewer said she signed SB1070 in April in response to “the crisis the federal government has refused to fix.”
Brewer and the bill's sponsor, Sen. Russell Pearce, also said it "mirrors" federal law.
The comparison is one of several questions that are hanging over the new law. And since it passed, some of the facts have been twisted and exaggerated.
So what's fact and what's fiction?
1. Will SB1070 force police to racially profile?
SB1070 says police cannot solely consider race, color or national origin.
It also says officers can only ask during a valid traffic stop or an investigation with probable cause.
In short, for those who say it allows officers to profile... it doesn't.
2. Will you need to prove that you are a U.S. citizen if you are stopped?
The bill is clear, if you're a U.S. citizen you need local, state or federally issued identification, like a driver's license.
If you're a naturalized citizen you need your green card or proof of citizenship. But that's already required by the U.S. government, not Arizona.
So do you need proof? Yes.
3. Another concern is if SB1070 will cost governments and taxpayers.
The law will require every officer to be trained. The governor just ordered it.
There will also be extra costs for prosectuing, transporting and jailing suspects.
How much? Police and correction departments are still figuring that out, but it will cost us.
4. Other issues have come up about if the bill is constitutional and if it "mirrors" federal law.
The bill is based on U.S. statutes and gives Arizona police the power that federal officers have.
It's not a new idea. In 1996, the U.S. trained local officers to enforce national immigration laws under the 287(g) program.
This bill is a bigger extension of that program.
To see Arizona's law, the federal law, and more analysis, check out the links below:
Arizona Senate Bill 1070 (raw text)
Federal Immigration Law
- Section 8 USC 1324 (Bringing in and harboring certain aliens)
- Section 8 USC 1324a (Unlawful employment of aliens)
- Section 8 USC 1324b (Unfair immigration-related employment practices)
- Section 8 USC 1324c (Penalties for document fraud)
- Section 8 USC 1324d (Civil penalties for failure to depart)

My Oath
QUOTE
By a Declaration liberty is born, with courage she is nourished and with unceasing commitment she is guarded.
Eric Schaub
Individualist, Activist, Speaker and Author
My Oath
I'll declare my right to freedom
And in liberty I shall thrive
I'll nourish this right with courage
As long as I'm alive
I commit myself to protect my liberty
In every peaceful means
And stand up with other patriots
My fellow human beings
I pledge allegience to our flag
And to the Constitution for which it stands
Alone and with others I will fight
To whatever degree it demands
I will shun the revolutionaries
Bent on making changes
To prohibit all our liberty
To what level that need engages
I will use my votes as best I can
Choosing those who take an oath
To uphold the words of our founders
Against the elitists that I loathe
I will go hand and hand with patriots
To march for what is best
To preserve the Constiution
Which for years has passed the test

By a Declaration liberty is born, with courage she is nourished and with unceasing commitment she is guarded.
Eric Schaub
Individualist, Activist, Speaker and Author
My Oath
I'll declare my right to freedom
And in liberty I shall thrive
I'll nourish this right with courage
As long as I'm alive
I commit myself to protect my liberty
In every peaceful means
And stand up with other patriots
My fellow human beings
I pledge allegience to our flag
And to the Constitution for which it stands
Alone and with others I will fight
To whatever degree it demands
I will shun the revolutionaries
Bent on making changes
To prohibit all our liberty
To what level that need engages
I will use my votes as best I can
Choosing those who take an oath
To uphold the words of our founders
Against the elitists that I loathe
I will go hand and hand with patriots
To march for what is best
To preserve the Constiution
Which for years has passed the test

Our Treasures
QUOTE
Can we truly expect those who aim to exploit us be trusted to educate us?
Eric Schaub
Individualist, Activist, Speaker and Author
Our Treasures
Each day we hand over all our best
To educate and be made to test
We trust that each day we will find
We do right by our children's mind
If someone comes forward to exploit us
Change our lives and reannoit us
To take the life that we have cherished
To spit on the blood of those who perished
Will we still trust those who came to betray us
Who've turned our sun to days of grayest
To take the minds of our children dear
And educate them with words we fear?
There comes a time when we need to stand
And protect what is valuable in our hands
The riches will be the children we bore
The treasures we are living for

Saul The Divider
Good Day Dear Prunes...
Here's a quote to consider by Saul Alinsky.
QUOTE
A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
He was a Community Organizer and writer, born 1909, died 1972
His teachings influenced our Prez and is our Prez a racist?
Saul The Divider
Is Saul Alinsky saying
The white race shold make their exit?
Is that really what equality is?
Is that really how to fix it?
Is equality someone stepping down
For another to step up?
Should not we all be equal
To share the water cup?
Why must there be division
In one race to the next?
Don't all the people here deserve
The same amount of respect?
Is Saul Alinsky saying
Some have had their time?
And others are to be the ones
To top the mountain that we climb?
The mountain top is big enough
For all to stand and wave
In this country of equality
The free and and of course the brave!

The Victory In Numbers
If we do not change our direction we are likely to end up where we are headed
Betrand de Jouvenel (1903-1987) A society of sheep must beget a government of wolves.
The Victory In Numbers
It is said that the meek
Should inherit the earth
But it's not always true
For what it's worth
It is true that civility
Is much better recieved
And friendship before enemies
Is much better percieved
But comes a time
When the meek should not follow
When it means in the end
In the gutter they may wallow
There must always be bravery
In you set aside
If tyranny springs up
From wherever they hide
There are times when a hammer
Is needed to wield
When your liberty is threatened
You'll take up sword and shield
But it need not be blood
That is drawn in this fight
It just take the masses
To succeed when they're right
So gather up your countrymen
And count up your votes
March on the capitol
Armed with words in your notes
Tell them you stand
In this country of men
And this fight for your liberty
Is how you'll begin
Let peace lead the way
And your numbers be your sword
Let votes be your say
As the cause you work toward
Let freedom prevail
And progressives step down
With faith in your heart
In this courage you've found

I'd Rather Be Watching TV
I'd rather Be watching TV
I don't want a revolution
Feel no will to demonstrate
I'm quite busy with my own life
There's so much upon my plate
I don't want to spend my time
Dialing numbers from my phone
To complain to those in congress
That their jobs are being blown
I don't want to go to town halls
Justing waiting to be called
So I can say a word or two
About how much I am appalled
I'd rather go to Vegas
Than to stand out on the streets
Outside the capitol buliding
In the hot sun as it beats
I'd rather be watching Dr. Phil
Instead of following the news
Because the politics being played today
Are giving me the blues
But alas I am American
And I carry a patriot's blood
And it's easy to see our country
Is sinking quickly in the mud
I'd rather have my liberty
But to enjoy that kind of life
I'm forced to join Tea Parties
Instead of just being a wife
I find it is my duty
To get answers to my questions
About why our government is spending more
While we're stifled in recession
It would be a major issue
If I turned my back and walked
When I know that socialized health care
Is what is being hawked
So instead of sipping lemonaide
And lounging in my yard
I find that I must take a stand
And do the thing that's hard
It's my responsibility
To question all the acts
That are performed by elected leaders
Who have hidden all the facts
And being a natural born citizen
Enjoying the founder's given rights
I take it very seriously
And must stand up to fight
So pardon me, dear government
If I'm stepping on your toes
If my Tea Party is offending you
, Well, hey, that's how it goes!

Sedition!
Joe Kline has accused Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbach of sedition on the Chris Mathwes show. Kline being the half wit male bitch that he is showed his total lack of intelligence by quoting Websters dictionary so that we all know what sedition is and therefore should silence the opinions that oppose the far left.
Be aware of these socialist pigs!!...Samuel Adams said...How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words...
Listen to me, a plain citizen, with little education...A law enacted on May 16, 1918 to restrain public opinion of the U.S. war effort (WWI) was ammended to the esponoge act of 1917. It prohibited spoken and written attacks on the government or the constitution and led to numerous arrest. IT WAS REPEALED IN 1921!
The word sedition does not clearly differentiate between malicious libel and political opinion. The conviction of several newspaper reporters and even a republican congressman confirmed fears that the law was being used to settle political scores and differences of opinion. This conflicted with constitutional free speech. In 1964 flatly declared the concept of words deemed seditious inconsistant with the first ammendment in the case involving the NY Times v Sullivan.
Now if a small town country boy knows this...where the hell did Joe Kline and Chris Mathews go to school. BT you can post this rant to your blog if you care to. I am pissed! BY J.T. Dixon

Let The Good Times Go
The essential notion of a capitalist society...is voluntary cooperation, voluntary exchanges. The essential notice of a socialist society is force. Whenever we depart from voluntary cooperation and try to do good by using force, the bad moral value of force triumphs over good intentions. Milton Friedman 1912-2006.
Let The Good Times Go
It is in the hearts of patriots
Since a long, long time ago
To take care of each other
In any ways we know
The more Americans can prosper
The more they can offer employment
To the Americans who wish to thrive
And never sherk at their deployment
A capitolist society brings prosperity
For all eager workers to enjoy
The business that grow from this
Begetting wealth as they employ
A socialist government brings you down
With their handouts and their control
They tax to death the businesses
Until they can't reap what they did sow
Driviing away the taxpayers
And putting the people on government rolls
Until they have to rely on entitlements
Hands out for government doles
The pride is all forsaken
Prosperity is now a myth
As our country sinks and flounders
In a deep and dark abyss
The tyrants now are dancing
To their socialistic songs
And we yearn for the prosperity
To come back where it belongs

Can We Again Stand?
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence...it is a force. Like fire it is a dangerous severant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action" George Washington
Can We Again Stand?
It should not grow so large
As to be feared by the people
It should not be so powerful
And we should never be feeble
We are meant to be the masters
They were meant work at our will
Is that premise still active?
Do they honor us, still?
Have they broken away
Running wild at their will?
Are we letting them stay,
As we're footing their bill?
Is it too late to revive
The dreams of our fathers?
Are we now too weak
And needy to bother?
Can we stand up and tell them
Their short reign is now done?
Can we once again stand
For all and for one?

Letting It Happen
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens act only by permission; which is the stage
of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn Rand 1905-1982
Letting It Happen
Have we become complacent?
Has are trust been too true?
Are we accepting what's happening
Right on cue?
As long as we're given
What we need to get by
Is it in our best interest
To sit back and comply?
Will the rich still be here
When taxes eat them alive?
Once they have moved on,
How will the rest survive?
When the handouts are gone
And there's no one to give
What will life be like?
Will we merely just live?
Will the parties go on
In Washington DC,
As the rest of the folks
Are just trying to be?
When there's no longer a will
To excel and do better
Can we accept that our government
Will be our babysitter?
How long will we remember
Of the people by the people?
Will they allow us to pray
Under our own chosen steeple?
When the time comes
We are left to comply
At the barrel of a gun
Do this or you die!
Will we regret this day
We accepted their terms?
When they laugh as they play
And Our Constitution, it burns.

Giving In To The Monster
Government "help" to business is just as disasterous
as government persecution...the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hand off. Ayn Rand 1905-1982
Giving In To The Monster
It's growing now to monstrous proportions
Helping our businesses thrive
But they really are making some impossible contortions
Just barely to keep them alive
Everything they touch leads to a failing
In poverty they send us to drive
Social Security and the Post Office flailing
In each endeavor they're instructed to contrive
Out of the darkeness rides an ambitious horseman
Spouting promises to gain our support
We're expected to let him steer the course, man
And accept what he has to report
What he wants is the government in charge of our asses
And will supply everyone with all that they need
They'll gain the support of the underprivleged masses
Who won't work for the meals that we feed
Forcing big business to gravel to the state
There is no reason to work to succeed
The taxpayers leave the big government they hate
And the middle class suffers under government greed
We are no longer We The People that our government works for
They have turned it around as we slept
So now we're the people enslaved to our government
And can only look back with regret
Progressive politics took hold of the reins
And broke the steed of our Founders
And we slip and we slide as their agenda makes gains
As We the People goes under and flounders

Going Down
Samuel Adams (1722-1803) Sam was a founding father and was one of the people who took a prominent role in the Boston Tea Party...
No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can easily be subdued when knowledge is diffused and virture is preserved. On the contrary. When people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the weight of foreign invaders.
Going Down
We go about our daily lives
Trusting all is going well
While from the inside we are invaded
They are leading us to hell
And hell is a life of idle times
Where our leaders will gain and prosper
While feeding us entitlements
As they pose as the great imposter
They will tax the people who toil
And have found prosperity
Those who provide the jobs we work
To retain our integrity
They'll give all the idle everything
Keeping them under their control
In the guise of their humanity
As government power begins to grow
We'll no longer need to fear
Invaders from foreign soil
Because the enemy lives in Washington
And our liberty they did spoil
The Founders will be just a memory
Fading sowly as patriots die
And our youth will only be taught about them
Just enough to get them by
Instead of a government for the people
They will work for us no more
And our children will never know the liberty
Their parents had before
The affluent will all be government
The people will live without a goal
It began with the entitlements
On the day we sold our souls

Our Assignment
The threat of people acting in their own enlightened and rational self-interest strikes bureaucrats, politicians, and social workers as ominous and dangerous. W.G. Hill
Our Assignment
Shake it up
Break it up
It is a citizens right
When politicians make the laws
In the darkness of the night
Study it
Question it
Each bureacratic cause
When it doesn't seem so right
You really must take pause
Reject the free
And poverty
Social workers trap you in
The idleness of an American
Is our one true sin
Step it up
And then Stand up
For our Founder's urgent plea
Fight for the rights
They earned for you
In the land of liberty

Glenn Beck
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell 1903-1950
Glenn Beck
Looking to find the truth
We turn to one who tells
The facts that are on the table
When all's not going well
They label him a traitor
A liar and hate monger
They say the people should not
Listen any longer
They demonize his character
And say he twists the facts
They dig into his past
Searching for illegal acts
They refuse to fefute his claims
Because what he says is true
They want to shut him up
Because it's all that they can do
He stands tall as a patriot
And puts his life up on the line
His family is endangered
And thoroughly maligned
Yet all he seeks to tell you
Is where to look to find the truth
That your schools failed to teach you
As you came up as a youth
Their followers are blinded
By false claims on another lie
They just spin it off another way
And for awhile they will get by
And our patriot uncovers more
And tells you where to look
That's all we need to do
To expose another crook
The hard core will not listen
As they stand by their candidate
And our country begins to fall
And all we can do is wait
As Americans continue to gather
In Tea Parties all over the land
They are blamed of racist untertones
And it is said they should be banned
As we gather strength in numbers
We'll continue to raise the votes
To legally take our country back
And sink Progressive boats
And our Patriot will step back
Until he's needed once again
When a socialist buys the presidency
And brings in his own men

Entitlements, and no will to cope
Times have appeared to make the way
For people not being allowed to pray
When public policy sets the tone
For your rights to cease and the property you own
And government has too much to say
About how you go about your day
Purpose in life will not exist
The will to work will soon desist
Hands outreaching for government funds
As we make our way to setting suns
Mornings no longer come for us to see
And days get shorter for us to be
A perpetual night will soon set in
As time without liberty will now begin
Day after day it's only night
No longer looking forward to futures bright
Like a baby in diapers we languish about
Our hearts too paralyzed to now have doubts
When there is more life in the dirt on the ground
And freedom is no longer found
Ashes to ashes we become the dust
Blown away with the winds that gust
Freedom was a life we knew so well
We sold it out for a life of hell
Petty entitlements would come our way
Perpetual nights replaced our days

When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know
anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and
women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns
against humanity and society.
Pope John Paul 2
1920-2005

Entitlements, and no will to cope

The Naked Truth
QUOTE
The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.
Dr. Josef Mengele
March 16, 1911-February 7, 1979
The Naked Truth
They are taking our money
But so be it
And they are taking our liberty
But we don't even see it
They are taking our property
A little at a time
We don't even know it
It is so very sublime
They are taking our children
While they are at school
We don't even know it
Don't you feel like a fool?
They are taking our resources
And dealing them to others
Feeding our enemies
Instead of our brothers
They are taking our hearts
And putting them in coffins
As they tax us into poverty
More and more often
They are taking our doctors
By limiting their practice
Instituting national healthcare
We oppose, just ask us!
They are taking our freedom
By giving us entitlements
Becoming our nanny
Imposing childlike mindsets
They are taking our will
To become better and strong
We don't even see it
Somehow that seems wrong
They are taking what we built
One brick at a time
Until there come a day
When what's yours is mine

AFTER ORDER AND LIBERTY, ECONOMY IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST ESSENTIALS OF A FREE GOVERNMENT. ECONOMY IS ALWAYS A GUARANTEE OF PEACE.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
1972-1933
Changes
Our country was built on faith in God
Order and Liberty
And economic endeavors
Designed to keep us free
When man can stand on his own two feet
Helping others along the way
A country with free economic growth
Earns the taxes that we pay
But when government grows greedy
And takes economy in their control
Growth begins to dwindle
No money is there to flow
No jobs for many Americans
To steady a middle class
The wealthy being taxed to death
Topples them at last
That destroys the class which builds factories
Malls and restaurants
And takes away the jobs for those
Who now become have nots
Now the government that we all know
Falls in economic disrepair
Leading to the rise of a new regime
Keeping us poor and in despair
The way they spread the wealth
Is to put us in a zone
Of government prosperity
And poverty we've never known
The government elite will prosper
While the workers of the world unite
And the workers will pay the bills
And continue to live in blight

Open Letter To Obama
Letter from Procter & Gamble Exec to Obama
Please read, even if you are an Obama fan. It is legitimate, written by respected, Lou Prichett, formerly of Proctor and Gamble. Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living legends- an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history. _______________________________________________________
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly
capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will
probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big surprise! Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now.
If you think this is true pass it on
If you think this is just picking on the President THEN do nothing.

A Fishy Story
How is legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
A Fishy Story
See the hard working, weathered man
Donning his well worn slicker
He works from dawn to setting sun
Still struggling, but here's the kicker
He raised his family to be strong
And put away their money
Since that time he's taxed so much
It surely isn't funny
His fishing boats are paid for
With the sweat dripping off his brow
He'll work until he's old and grey
I really don't know how
He paid off land along the sea
To moor is fishing fleet
Sometimes his family picniced there
It really was quite sweet
But along came the local government
With plans to take his land
They said the beauty a park would bring
Would surely be so grand
They called the fishing boats unsightly
For their townspeople to have to see
If the fisherman refused to sell his land
Political force just had to be
So they took away the family's land
For a very minimal price
Said the fishing boats could move elsewhere
This land was much too nice
But the cost of mooring fishing boats
A fleet as large as this
Would be much too costly to sustain
They could no longer fish
The fishing fleet was sold, they tell
And the fisherman retired
All the people who worked for him
Unfortunately, were fired
So now all the happy people
Can meander freely around their park
While unemployed fishermen
Have outlooks bleak and dark

When I Died
When I Died
Did I tell you about the day I died?
I have tried to remember it, Lord how I tried.
Was it that first beer when I was thirteen
You know, the beginning, that's what I mean.
Was it later when I toked my very first blunt?
Then it was a sorta cool kind of stunt.
I was about sixteen, as much as I remember
Maybe somewhere around June or November?
Was it when I dropped my first ball of speed?
Grass wasn't enough to fill my need.
LSD, PCP, I tried it all
Is that when the reeper made his first call?
Sex was meaningless as far as love went
It was just another way my time was spent
When love finally found me, I was way too lost
The drugs ruined that too, at the ultimate cost.
I never forgot her, but my long drawn affair
With alcohol and drugs had me so unaware.
My only accomplishment was how good I could lie
And mostly to myself, doesn't that make you cry?
My life officially ended beside the road
Tipped over in my wheel chair, boasting a load
How much I had drunk or taken in dope?
I never was a man who could function and cope
I was still a young man in chronilogical years
But aged very quickly on whiskey and beers
They say you can't have it all, but I didn't have any
Except the heartache, of that there was plenty
Blame, as I did, those who comforted me
It would be only death that would really set me free
I guess that I died a long time ago
And as smart as I was, even I didn't know.

Rising Tides
quote by Marian Wright Edelman ...You just need to be a flea against injustice. Enough committed fleas biting strategically can make the biggest dog uncomfortable and transform even the biggest nation.
Rising Tides
As little as you think we are
As insignificant as we seem
In masses we can grow to
Be quite a formidable team
As a tiny common person dwells
In the country he truely loves
He becomes as big as a mountain
When he must put on his gloves
Common caring people joining
Can conduct a winning cause
When a government becomes way too big
And strangles us with its useless laws
A million tiny voices sing
Our inspiring battle hymn
Will set progressives back on their seats
Just like the patriots way back when

Please listen to our pleas
It's for our country that we cry
In times as bad as these
It's up to us to ask you why
Please hear the patriot's voices
Put your scheming plans on hold
We have questioned now your choices
And resent the lies you told
Here comes peaceful revolution
To enlighten your point of view
We ask for a solution
Other than that you plan to do
If you still fail to listen to
The folks you call ineligible
A vilolent revolution seems
To be quite so inevitable

It's All Inside
It's All Inside
Smiles and laughter
Dancing little eyes
Kicks under the table
Is this her disguise?
A childlike wonder
Of all that is real
But very deep down
How does she really feel?
The fear it resides
And shows itself here
She doesn't even realize it
In her outwardly cheer
Lock out the demons
Who have damaged her soul
They continue to follow
Wherever she'll go

Capitol Hell
America died from the delusion she had moral leadership Will Rogers
Capitol Hell
With trust that all their leadership
Had just and moral minds
Our American citizens
Went through their daily grinds
We gave no thought about the laws
We trusted them to make
We we sure we elected those
Would vote for freedom sake
We trusted them with money
And gave it all in tax
We trusted that they'd spend it right
By studying the facts
We had faith in their decisons
To keep us all from harm
If terrorists were coming at us
They'd sound a big alarm
We gave to them the power
To enact and uphold the laws
But somewhere along the line, you see
They strayed to their own cause
So while suffering delusions
That those elected will serve us well
They served us up for dinner
In the capitol I call hell

Defacing The Constitution
here's a quote from Martin H. Fischer...Of all the supervised conditions for life offered man, those under USA's constitution have proved best. Wherefore, be sure when you start modifying, corrupting, or abrogating it.
Defacing The Constitution
The document most honored
By free nations we all know
Is our own Constitution
America's heart and soul
So before you go to changing it
Rewriting and retooling
Please think it through a thousand times
To really what you're doing
Don't go about corrupting it
For agendas that you find
Please think about the founders
And the blood in which they signed
Please think about the patriots
Who for freedom gave their lives
Think about the honor
From which its words derives
Mostly, think about the people
To be affected by your whims
While thinking play back in your mind
Our country's battle hymn

Monster Government
Douglas said...The constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of the people. The right to be left alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. Common sense often makes good law. William O. Douglas
Monster Government
Putting their nose in everywhere
Not letting us live in peace
Taxing, regulating, being unfair
Causing liberty to cease
Slavery is making its way today
And We The People are prone
To be the captives to what they say
From birth through when we're grown
Indoctrination, excessive taxation
And ultra progressive regulation
Is our new government's cry
It's time to set the record straight
It's let's be free or die!

Bye Bye Winter
Bye Bye Winter
Here is winter taking its stand
To freeze the soil upon our land
Springtime is coming, creeping in
For warmth and spirit to re-begin
The muscular winter hunkers down
To thwart the spring that's lurking 'round
But winter soon will be giving in
Letting persistant spring to now begin
Snowbirds find their way back home
To the northern climate they've loved and known
Buds are peeking from branches bare
Green emerging everywhere
As spring regains its former power
Rain will drench the blooming flower
People will wake from depression's hold
As spring replaces the winter cold

Let's play what if?
What if.....
What if you worked very hard all your life to realize your dream of owning and operating one of the most successful and prestigious horse stables around? Say you were at the point that you have bred or bought enough good horses to finally compete at top level shows, hire the best trainers, and travel first class. You have a state of the art barn and you are just where you had hoped you would be when you worked your way from the ground up.
Now, what if the horse club you are in decides that the wealthiest of the members must pay the highest percentage of the dues, because after all, those who have the same dreams but did not work hard enough to attain the same success you did want to be competitive in the horse shows also. So those people will pay $5 per year to be members and you will pay $500 per year to support your organization.
Now, what if the organization does not think it is fair that you have the best horses and best trainers, so you always win? Now the organization tells you you can keep 20 percent of your herd of show horses and must distribute the rest of them to people who want to show but were not able to attain your level of success? You must also subsidize these people the cost of feeding, training, and showing their new horses.
Now your organization has leveled the playing field. You are getting beat by all the horses you toiled to breed and buy, and are being beat by trainers and grooms you pay to work for the guy who hasn't raised a finger to build his own show string and reputation. Sucks, doesn't it?
What if your government wants to treat you the same way? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, sound familiar?

Now, what if the horse club you are in decides that the wealthiest of the members must pay the highest percentage of the dues, because after all, those who have the same dreams but did not work hard enough to attain the same success you did want to be competitive in the horse shows also. So those people will pay $5 per year to be members and you will pay $500 per year to support your organization.
Now, what if the organization does not think it is fair that you have the best horses and best trainers, so you always win? Now the organization tells you you can keep 20 percent of your herd of show horses and must distribute the rest of them to people who want to show but were not able to attain your level of success? You must also subsidize these people the cost of feeding, training, and showing their new horses.
Now your organization has leveled the playing field. You are getting beat by all the horses you toiled to breed and buy, and are being beat by trainers and grooms you pay to work for the guy who hasn't raised a finger to build his own show string and reputation. Sucks, doesn't it?
What if your government wants to treat you the same way? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, sound familiar?
PAYING ATTENTION
We cannot, by total alliance on law, escape the duty to judge right and wrong. There are good laws and there are bad laws, and it conforms to the highest traditions of a free society to offer resistance to bad laws. and to disobey them. Alexander Bickel 1924-1974
Paying Attention
Give me laws and I'll obey them
If my heart tells me it's right
Give me bad laws, I'll fight to change them
With all my mortal might
Laws are made by mortal men
Some upstanding, some not so
So evil laws may trickle in
Before we even know
It's our right and duty to judge them
And our duty to weed them out
That's what a free democracy
Like ours is all about

Another Year and He's Still Here
Another Year and He's Still Here
Years keep passing and fond memories grow
About this man we had the pleasure to know
And his birthdays still pass, but don't mean a thing
Because now he is where the angels sing
His laugh, his smile, his humor, his love
Put him on a pedistal far above
Any great man that ever lived
This man we know continues to give
He gave his time and loved us so
It didn't take much for us all to know
We were the apples in his loving eyes
And he watches now from endless skies
He left with us the knowledge that we can be
The people he had the vison to see
We are all a part of the best he was
He remained with us and always does
