Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

First they lost their faith, then they lost their way. Britain is a petri dish of agnosticism, socialism, statism, political correctness completely run amok, infused with a healthy dose of Islamic immigration and cultivation. When you think about it, unless you claim homosexuality or Islamic faith, you are probably going to find yourself in a category forced into an homogenized, one size fits all mold of neutral goo.

As a result of these stellar policies families have long since fallen apart, the economy is in quick sand, having abandoned the pull yourself up by your own boot straps code of ethics, as far too...uncaring, and left Biblical principles many decades ago, there is no longer a compass available to these people to find their way. Make room for white teen age girls in rebellion, on the street, picked up by 'Daddy' (really, could there be a more disgusting name for a pedophile pimp? That should be a crime even in its own category for besmirching the name of good Dads everywhere).

Why do I say their experiment in godless socialism and political correctness has failed? Try this: "They face hard times now. The closed shops are signs of a double-dip recession that has hit northern England harder than the more affluent south, which includes London, with its financial district and well-to-do suburbs. The mills have long since closed; the local newspaper trumpets gloom and doom: A tripling in the number of homeless, a sharp rise in youth unemployment, more people seeking housing benefits. Even the local McDonald's, long a fixture in the town center, has moved out."

This shows the ruins of the economy, but that's not all the story. The suspects point their soiled fingers at the English community, and the victims themselves. Typical I know of sexual offenders, but listen: "Inside the court, Ahmed, a key defendant, fought back hard. He accused the all-white jury of racism. He accused one girl of thinking whites were superior, and denigrated them all as greedy money seekers. And he accused white society of neglecting its girls and tolerating, even encouraging, bad behavior. "You white people train them in sex and drinking, so when they come to us they are fully trained," he said."


The prosecutor, however, explains how it has come to be that these girls have been prepped for life on the streets, in a socialist environment the children are culled away from the family at an early age, the whole family depending in large part on the government, (thus the name Nanny State) and that government support system is, of course, completely inadequate, corrupt and failing. Says the prosecutor "That view overlooks all the problems that left the girls vulnerable in the first place, he says, citing a deficient school system and a government-backed child care regime riddled with neglect and abuse. And he says the prolonged economic downturn has intensified resentments, with whites and Asians competing for the same "Crap jobs".

Saddest are these remarks from Girl A at the conclusion: "After a while it had been going for so long and so many different men that it became like I didn't feel anything towards it anymore," she said. "It just weren't me anymore. It just became something I had to do....Once you're in it, you're trapped. I just think what they did to me was evil." -- Me, too, Honey, me, too.

With our once fair cousin, Britain in such shape, from policies Progressives are extremely determined to foist on us, can we Here in America say we are more determined than them? To find faith, find a Godly work ethic, rebuild our own lives, our families, our towns, cities, counties, states and our Nation. This Independence Day, may we seek God, for the strength and grace to do each do our part to truly make this the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!

Battle, Not the War

SCOTUS decision was a kick in the gut today, no doubt. I'm sucking air just like you. But, it was a battle, it's not the war. As I am digesting the ruling, the States ended up ahead, Federalism strengthened, (which is always better for the individuals, when power is moved away from DC), in that they cannot be penalized, thereby forced to participate in the enlarging of the Medicaid boondoggle, as desired by DC. Congress' powers are limited under Commerce Clause in a way that it has not been heretofore. This is most excellent. And by moving the authority from Commerce Clause to Congress ability to tax, which is sadly unlimited. Upside is it puts the power back in the hands of We the People, to elect Senators, Congress and a President Romney to repeal and replace. Congress has the power to tax, the President's legal team instructed the court to call Obamacare a tax, if it couldn't stand under the Commerce Clause, and they did. As a tax, Congress has the ability and responsibility to enforce or repeal. We want this repealed, so we have to elect ourselves a Congress, who clearly understand and are committed to our priorities. We need to know what matters to us. We need to communicate our expectations, and we need to donate, call, email, go to meetings, walk neighborhoods, write to inform and educate people (necessary - because media, pundits, politicians give incomplete, or even untrue info) - do whatever it takes to clearly put forth what is necessary to repeal health care and get rid of this abominiable legislation. Some things we need to become familiar with and help others be familiar with are the SOULTIONS for replacing ObamaCare. Some of my favorite - We need to own our own medical care. To do that, we need the government to butt out. It's not their business how we choose to get our health care, they just muddy the waters. We need to be able to buy insurance across state lines. Really, who IS the Fed government to prevent that? Seriously? They have no business talking about the expense of health care, when THEY are standing in the way of having health insurance competition. I buy my car insurance from a company in Texas. I do not live in Texas. But, we are prevented from buying health insurance in the same way. This HAS to change. IMMEDIATELY. We need to stop frivolous law suits. Period. We need to own our own health insurance, get the employer out of the loop, and to do this we have to simplify the Federal Tax system. This will make the removal of the employer as the middleman for our health insurance a boon and not a curse, because of the current tax mess.These changes would revitalize our economy and make affordable health care within reach of so many, it boggles the mind. As we do these things, we must remember above all...the sanctity of life.

The Sanctity of Life and Obamacare

As we waited for the Supreme Court ruling today on Obamacare, I had this thought. That a strong motivation for many of us opposing Obamacare is the sanctity of life. I say that because we understand that result of these policies is the resulting rationing of health care, as the decisions are passed on to a board of unelected bureaucrats. Necessary decisions on what types of cancer drugs, what ages can have pace maker replacements, hip replacements, cataract surgery, or that expensive diabetic or cholesterol fighting drug. Can we not foresee in a decade or so, (especially after the birth control, abortificants mandate), pregnancy screening for the purpose of determining viability? I can see that and so much more. And because we were all willing to move heaven and earth to stop this law, or turn it back...the thought occurred to me...'Do you REALLY think that you get to protect your own livelihoods and healthcare, when you are willing to let little babies die every day? When changing that is as important as changing this health care law, then then you can make some progress on changing things!'I'm motivated, I'm committed. How about you? Thoughts?

First They Came For the Catholics

Remember, this is not about birth control and it's not about Rush Limbaugh, or Bill Maher. It IS about religious freedom . The government that can impose mandates on how individuals and denominations and business owners practice their faith, is mandating HOW they worship, for many of us, that's how WE worship. That same government can eventually impose through mandate WHO we worship. never doubt it. Even sooner than that, said government can impose mandated standards for the number of children per household. How do you think it happens? Little at a time, and really this Administration isn't going little at a time. Leaps and bounds more like. Can you imagine the things we have had happen in the last 6 months, happening in 2005? Just 7 yrs ago? Yeah, not bloody likely.

Chris Christie, He's the Governor, Ya Know?

He is a perfect Governor for New Jersey. But, I bring up his episodes this week, to say I do not want to see him as our VP candidate. He groused about NYPD'S surveilance program, earlier in the week. And when this vet, turned Rutgers college student was persistent in a point he was trying to make, Christie shut him down. He didn't just him down, he used liberal elite tactics in shutting him down. Conservatives have reason on their side, our ideas are worth defending. We don't have to insult the people we are discussing with. And we can agree to disagree. If they are disagreeable to us, and we are of a mind to score a rhetorical point, sure go ahead. But, don't shut down a dissenting voice and be too puffed up to deign to give an answer. Leave that to the left. On the right, we do RIGHT! Here's a link: 'Could you just shut up?'
