The time has come for the vote, all cards are on the table, whatever it takes to ram this bill through. It has been a year of campaign speeches, tea party gatherings and Americans waking up for the first time. We have made it very clear that we oppose this bill, but have the elitists, spineless goons in congress listened? They don't care about what we want, they care that this is 'historic'. They will use all their power, all their mind games to get what they want-a Universal Health care plan that will ruin our country.
If we have paid attention at all to Barack Obama on the campaign trail, he said it all. Rather than listening, people were too mesmerized with his smooth talking, jive dancing, hope promising banter that they put him in office. Now look where we are.
The left will tell you that those on the right are playing fear tactics and spreading lies, but just the opposite is happening. The facts and truth are being laid out before us, we can either run from it, shut our eyes or we can listen and open our eyes. The only choice we have is to educate ourselves. We need to understand our rights, our Constitution and what our Founders wanted for our country.
Americas fate will be decided tomorrow on Capital Hill. Whatever the outcome, we must not feel defeated. We must not stand down. The American bond needs to grow stronger that it has ever been.

Get the Memo on Healthcare
When will the Obama Administration get off their Health Care trip? Maybe they didn't get the memo but, the Americans aren't buying it. Their excuse is that they haven't explained it well enough for us to understand. On the contrary my friends, they have been on a campaign trail with this thing for a year. We've seen it, we've read it, we don't agree with the proposals. How many of the delegates can truly say they've read this bill?
Did you tune into the live feed on the 7 hour debate? Mr. Obama thought this would be a good way to resolve the issues and finally come to an agreement. That didn't work either. While I was skimming the feed, Barack came off as a father scolding a child. He is trying to command respect and he comes off as a pompous ass. Haven't you ever seen a public figure that naturally has that commanding presence? Here is a good comparison, Tony Snow vs. Robert Gibbs. When Tony Snow was addressing the press, they never got over on him. He was direct, assertive, had a sense of humor, and most of all had respect. The respect didn't have to be forced, he had a presence about him where people would show respect without having to think about it. Robert Gibbs on the other hand is bumbling fool that doesn't always seem to be insynch with the White House. He gets agitated and annoyed with the line of questioning. This is the same problem with Obama, his skin is not thick enough to take any type of criticism or disagreement. Haven't you ever seen his perturbed look on his face when his teleprompter goes out? Is he too big a man to laugh at himself every once in awhile? Whoever questions him or the Administration gets a fatherly scolding, "Don't you talk to me that way boy".
So here's the deal, if the Health Care bill goes through, we are headed down a path we don't want to go. If we think that we're screwed with the insurance rates being too high, what the heck do you think will happen when we have to pay for millions of people to have insurance? For those of us that don't agree with the bill, there is criticism that we don't have a heart of charity for those less fortunate. Let me tell you something, this isn't about not wanting to take care of those that don't have the ability to pay for their medical needs, it's about not wanting government to take control over our health care. Additionally, we don't want to be held accountable for trillions of dollars that is unsustainable! How can Obama honestly tell the American people that this bill will save money? Explain that to me, because I just don't get it.
Maybe it's time for us to send a bigger memo.

Welcome 2010!
Happy New Year! I can honestly say that I'm thankful 2009 is over, boy what a year it has been.
Over the last several months I have not had the motivation to write anything. Maybe I've been wallowing. It started with disbelief of the newly elected president, the fear set in. Remembering his journey on the campaign trail and the message he delivered to 'fundamentally transform America', I could not comprehend how so many people blindly followed this man. The effect of his presidency immediately set in. I sat idly doing nothing but watching and waiting. The lunacy, idiocy and unbelievable moments that stand out for me are:
Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of Obama's church for 20 years (Obama left the church after the controversial videos of Rev. Wrights blashemy and blatant statements of racism against the white man).
Van Jones, introduced in Obama's administration who is a self avowed communist (later fired from his post).
The constant love affair the media had with Obama. Those media outlets commenting about Fox News having a right wing agenda.
The chase of Sarah Palin and vicious, derogatory, defiling treatment to her and her family.
Acorn sting. Prostitute and pimp posing to get assistance in purchasing a house to run an illegal sex operation with young girls. The Acorn members under hidden camera one after another offered advice on how to be deceitful about the occupation, and even claiming these girls as dependents.
Cash for Clunkers. A government scam to trade in your clunker vehicle for a new eco-friendly ride. When logging in to the cars.gov website a disclaimer came up notifying you that when you are logged on to the website your computer is considered a federal computer system and it is property of the United States government. After the story was brought to the public, the statement was changed.
The statement Obama made about the police officers who arrested his Harvard professor friend, 'They acted stupidly'. Yet he did not have all the facts about the case.
The murders committed by an Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan on the Army Base at Fort Hood. The reaction from the White House was, 'not to rush to judgement'.
White House attacks on the tea party movement and Fox News.
Renaming the National Day of Prayer on 9/11 to the National Day of Service. Thanks to Mr. Obama.
The forceful urgency to pass a universal health care bill. (Way to much about this absurdity to comment much further. I'll save it for another time).
These were just some of the things that have made me ask the question, "what the heck has happened to our country?" Then, my heart palpitations began to subside. I witnessed the tea party movement.
I'm ready for 2010. My resolution this year will be to continue seeking the truth. For me, that is starting with The Bible.
Happy New Year! May your year be full of bountiful blessings and new direction.

Beer Blast Hosted by Barry
When Mr. Obama decided he should get involved in local issues when a buddy of his was arrested at his home, he stooped to a new low. A synopsis on the situation....
A Harvard University professor locked himself out of his home, so he and a friend had to break in. A situation that has hap pend to many of us. Concerned neighbors thought the house was being broke into and called the local police. The police arrived and let him know there was a suspected break in, then proceeded to ask for his identification. The professor flipped his lid and began to shout racism. The professor did show his Harvard University ID card, however continued to shout derogatory things at the police officer. Finally, the professor was arrested for interfering with police business, as he should have. This brings us to Barry. During I believe his 4th or 5th press conference during his first 7 months in office, he was asked a question about the situation. His reply, 'I don't know all the facts...', 'I believe the police acted stupidly'... Big mistake Mr. President.
After this whole debacle, Barry didn't apologize to the police officer, but asked him to come over for a beer. Come again? How classy and dignified Mr. President. You can't admit you were wrong so you let your 'cool' gene come out and speak for you. Well at least it gave you a great photo op for the country to see you in your coolness having a beer. After all, he is trying to teach us something. We can all learn from this whole experience. Want to know what I learned? That when your a friend of the President and you feel that you've been done wrong, the person(s) who did you wrong will get a call from the President. Ahhh...that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
No one knows what the full conversation was, but we do know an apology was made. An apology from the officer. Are we living in the bizarro world? Whatever happened to, "I was wrong and I'm sorry"? I guess some people are too proud to humble themselves and admit when they've made a mistake.

Walking Blind
It has been a little while since I've written. So much has happened that it's difficult to chose one thing to write on. So here's what I'm thinking....
I watch in disbelief at what our president is doing. It's almost surreal, as if it's all just some big joke. The scary thing is, it is happening now, we are seeing our world change before us, just like he promised. Not the change you expected. I think what scares me the most, is that we're letting it happen. We are walking blind, oblivious to what is being taken. When I've tried to inform my family and friends about what I saw reported on the news, they have no clue, no idea and go about their lives. I want to shake them, to scream, "Don't you get it! Don't you see!"But then I have to think, no, they are like so many others who thinks that Mr. O. is "cool", "better than what we had", "doing what he can to get us out of this mess". Pass after pass, he can do no wrong.
A few things to think about...
**The government now owns GE. They have the power (never did before) to fire CEO's of companies.
**The government has passed a stimulus bill that can not be paid back. A note to all, they are planning on spending trillions of dollars over the next several years.
**The government does not want the wealthy to succeed, for if they do, they will be punished with higher taxes.
**The government wants Universal Healthcare. This means that everyone who doesn't have insurance must get it. In the latest version of a bill, parents will be forced to pay their children's insurance until they are 26.
**The government wants to close Gitmo and release the prisoners into American prisons.
**The government wants to confirm the Supreme Court nominee Sonya Sotomayor who will rule based on empathy, not the court of law.
A few things to note about the current president:
-He has people on his staff that failed to pay their taxes
-His gift to the Prime Minister of Britain was a pack of DVD's
-His gift to the Queen of England was an IPod with his speeches
-His pastor for 20 years Jeremiah Wright preached on Black Power
-He was a community organizer before he was elected to run this country
-He could not produce a birth certificate
-He chose to not participate in the National Day of Prayer
-His staff went on a photo op over the New York skyline scaring hundreds of people in the streets
-His staff no longer uses the word terrorist
-He said, "We are not a Christian nation" "....We could be one of the largest Muslim nations" (These were not spoken in the same speech).
-His VP Joe Biden has said that money will be wasted when speaking on the stimulus bill. Joe Biden also said Mr. Obama doesn't have the experience to be the President
-He spent 300K to take his wife on a date to dinner and a Broadway show while he preaches to us that we need to watch our own budget
This ladies and gentleman is the man running our country. I ask that you please, please start paying attention. Tune into a news network that gives it to you straight, that reports on what is happening. Don't walk around blind anymore. We our losing our country. We need the government to start listening to us, fearing us not the other way around. We employ them. They work for us.

Air Force One Photo Op
On Monday morning, panic hit the streets of New York when a low flying playing buzzed the skyline. Was it another attack? Is it going to fly into a building? People were scurrying around the streets looking overhead to see what might be coming. There worst nightmare could be happening again. But wait, it wasn't a terrorist, the plane wasn't aiming towards any buildings, what the hell is going on? Ladies and gentleman, this was Air Force One (well the backup for the official Air Force One). Yes, that's right the plane was from the White House.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn0tMMYEkQU
As news got out, Mayor Bloomberg was furious and had every right to be. Who could be so stupid to authorize a stunt like this for a freaking photo op? And who would ask this to be kept from the public? Were they trying to cause a panic, because that is exactly what they did. I don't care if it has been months, years or decades from when we had planes flying into our New York buildings, you DON'T do that. I don't live in New York, but I tell you what, when I see planes flying up above the thought always crosses my mind, are they going to hit us?
Since I don't normally watch the local news, I don't know how or if this story was covered. But if this were a screw up by the Bush Administration, it would be all over the place. We'd see protesters in the streets and condemnation from the news outlets about this debacle. Mr. O might say he was furious when he heard the news, but wouldn't he have to had to know about this? I mean come on, why else would there be a photo op of Air Force One? Of all the weak and wrong decisions he's made since he took office, this has to be by far the dumbest, inexcusable examples of where his priorities are.
My mission this weekend is to ask at least 5 people if they've heard about this to see if they are 'in the know'. So far, all of the things that I've brought attention to and has been widely reported on talk radio and the only fair news network, the only replies I receive are either, "no, I hadn't heard that" or "he's only been in office for a few months." Listen, I don't care if he was in there a day, this is something you don't just turn away from.

So I'm a terrorist??
The tea parties were a success, and the main stream media is still trying to dumb it down. The reporting done by the mainstream media was appalling. One CNN reporter decided to give her opinion and interrupted a gentleman who was trying to answer her question. As he was giving his reasoning for being there, she rudely stopped him saying, "What does this have to do with taxes? Do you know that you're eligible for a 400 dollar..." After he told her he was answering her question, she gave a plug about the stimulus package. What?! Now wait a second, since when are reporters suppose to provide their opinion? Their job is to REPORT the news regardless of your views or feelings. She went on to say that the tea parties were .."anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."
Other media outlets barely paid attention or made a mockery out of it. I tell you this, if there was a war protest going on, the left wing media would be out there letting the people speak and actually covering it. Where is the fair and balanced?
Since these protests were no big deal (according to most media) why is it that there was an alert given to the police departments to 'keep an eye' on 'Right Wing Extremists'. Apparently I along with many other hard working, principled, informed, gun owning Americans should be on a watch list.
http://www.freedomalliance.org/images/stories/extremismreport.pdf
Read this document. This is frighting folks. I guess our views and opinions are not welcome and the government doesn't want any backtalk (if you will) about anything they do. I encourage you to pass this along.

It's Time for Tea Parties
I can't tell you how excited I am about the thousands of tea parties taking place all across the country. Unfortunately, close to where I live (Cedar Rapids, IA) there were only 6 people in attendance, one of them standing about 50 feet from the others with a 'More Taxes' sign. It could be that either they didn't plan in advance time, or that Iowa has turned so dang liberal.
Either way, I'm keeping up to date on all the others taking place, I just wish I could be part of all the action.
The media is going to spin these protests to be an act of the crazy right wingers, but what they don't get is that the people showing up, are Americans who are fed up. The message is clear, stop the wasteful spending, stop increasing taxes, and start listening to what the American people are asking for. Thanks to the Mr. O. administration, our grandchildren will be born broke and owing the government money. For the record, I didn't agree with the massive spending by the Bush Administration either. How does spending money help the economy? How does printing more money increase the value of the dollar? There is common sense to this madness, people just need to pay attention.
I am thankful to all the great Americans out there who are standing up and raising their voices. We will remain silent no longer. Enough is enough. The Government got our attention, now it's time that we get theirs.

What the heck is he thinking??
Can't you see it? Are you paying attention? I am dumbfounded what the president is doing. Who is he getting his advice from?
What compelled you to give the Prime Minister of Great Britain a stash of DVD's? Are you kidding me? Does he realize how that represents America? Not only that, the DVD is not compatible with the devices in Great Britain, so the PM can't even watch them! How sad.... So, you'd think Mr. Obama would learn by this embarrassing charade, nope, he sure didn't. When meeting with the Queen of England, what gift does he give her? An IPOD!! Oh, and not just any IPOD, it was engraved...ooooh! And, how priceless, he made sure to download some of he speeches on it for her. How thoughtful Mr. President. Un-flippin' believable!
Here is what we've learned about Mr. Obama...
He's inexperienced
He has no idea what the heck he's doing
He tries to fill his cabinet with tax evaders
He's spending us into oblivion in efforts to save us
He has the audacity to bash America overseas
He wants to pass a law so that every single hospital (Catholic or not) provides abortions
All this and he hasn't even been in office for 6 months. And so many of you left wing Obama lovers were so adamant to get him in office. And oh, how he was the hope we were looking for. Hope and change. Hope and change. We got change all right.
We are losing our country and Americans aren't going to take it anymore.
A revolution is coming. Get ready.

House Democrats Suceeded
Looks like the House Dems got it done. This is not a good day for Americans. All though the democrats are playing this out as the next best thing since sliced bread, there is still so much unnecessary spending that went into this bill.
I am proud of the Conservatives that stood against this bill and held their ground. They listened to the people and voted against a spending (not a stimulus) bill.
It is yet to be determined what this bill will do for our country. We know that it is evident that the economy will improve on it's own merits NOT due to this bill. Keep in mind that people will soon be getting their tax refunds back, and some of that will go into the economy. You know that when the increase in consumer spending is reported, the democrats will pat themselves on the back and take credit.
More to come....

Spendulous Bill
Ladies and gentlemen, I am a concerned American. After watching and listening for weeks on this so called 'Stimulus Plan', I've learned a few things.
First, it is about time that the Republicans stand up for fiscal responsibility. For too long they have failed us and spent millions of unnecessary tax dollars. They seem to finally be paying attention and listening to us Conservative Americans.
Second thought, how much of this bill is actually being spent on helping to create jobs. From my first glance at the 650 page bill http://www.rules.house.gov/111/LegText/111_hr1_text.pdf I don't have a full grasp of where all the funds are going. But here are a few that stuck out.
**$2,825,000,000 of which $1,000,000,000 shall be for Wireless Deployment
Grants and $1,825,000,000 shall be for Broadband Deployment Grants
**Federal Buildings Fund, $7,700,000,000 for real property activities
$1,000,000,000 shall be used for construction, repair, and
alteration of border facilities and land ports of entry; of
which not less than $6,000,000,000 shall be used for construction, repair, and alteration of Federal buildings for projects that will create the greatest impact on energy efficiency and conservation
**General Services Administration’s Motor Vehicle Acquisition and Motor Vehicle Leasing programs for the acquisition of motor vehicles, including plug-in and alternative fuel vehicles, $600,000,000
**National Mall in Washington, 9 DC, $200,000,000
**Not less than $335,000,000 shall be used as
an additional amount to carry out domestic HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually-transmitted diseases
******************************************************
As I sit here watching CSPAN live I'm encouraged that much of the non-sense spending will be taken out of this bill. It is not to late to get involved and speak up. It is time that government listen to the people. We need to wise up, pay attention and stop acting like zombies when it comes to affairs that will impact our future.
I will do my part to stay informed and get involved with what government is doing. They need to be held accountable for bad decisions and they need to start serving the American people.

Out of Control on Proposition 8
Ever since the vote for Proposition 8 was passed to keep marriage between one man and one women in over 30 states, including California, the riots have been full of hatred and out of control.
This legislation was voted on a few years back and was overturned by the Supreme Court. The American voters were given a 2nd chance and they spoke the same, they don't want to legalize same sex marriage. So the fight continues. Seeing the vile displays of protest makes me sick. An elderly lady carrying a cross had it knocked from her hands and stomped on. A young woman who is a Christian crusader was pushed to the ground and kicked. A church was ambushed when several protesters shouted "It's okay to be gay" and threw propaganda all of the church floors. When will we say enough?
The homosexual agenda is to force their lifestyle to be accepted. You ask for tolerance, I'd say we've gone beyond that.
We have 3rd graders attending a lesbian wedding for a field trip. If it were a Christian church with a man and a woman getting married, there would be no field trip. There are children's books on homosexual relationships. If a school chooses not to have these books as part of their library, they are condemned. You have gay pride parades through our streets demanding attention to the drag queens. If a Christian group gathers on the corner to try and talk with others about the Jesus, they are shunned. You have entered a church dressed in drag as nuns demanding to have communion, you were accepted. If your group is protested by people carry Bibles they are rejected and ridiculed. You've been give 'gay couple' days at baseball games and Disney World where other families and young children have to watch two men or women make out. You are allowed to protest riding naked on bicycles in certain states, we turn our blind eye. Yet with all this, you still demand for more.
You think that those who reject your lifestyle are intolerant and hateful. How dare you try to make us feel shameful by not accepting your life. Do you think by forcing us to belief that what you're doing is okay, that you will not have to be accountable for your actions?
Those who believe in the Word of God will continue to condemn this lifestyle. We will love the people, but hate the sin as we should. For those of you who don't agree that living a homosexual life is a sin, I encourage you to show me where in the Bible it says that a man with a man and woman with a woman is okay. If it were natural, then how come two men or two women can't procreate?
I ask is that you respect the decision that was made by these American voters. Stop the violence and hatred against those that don't agree with how you live. We have given you more respect then you deserve.

The Choice Was Made.... Obama
We fought, we did our best to get the facts out, and after the battle was over, it was Barack Obama who succeeded.
As I watched the numbers come in on November 4th, I felt angry, disappointed, defeated and depressed. Going through these emotions the last several days, I'm ready to move on. This was an historic election that will be remembered in our country's history. Barack Obama will be our next president, will give him the chance to prove himself. All though Obama was not my choice and I fervently disagree with his policies expressed on the campaign trail, I along with the vast majority of us conservatives will be praying for him and hope he is successful in helping America.
We will NOT stoop to the lows that the lefties expressed during the Bush Administration. There was such hatred, vile, putred and disgusting displays against President Bush. The utter disrespect for this office was uncalled for. It was sickening to watch as the world, the congress and the media defamed President Bush. They should all be ashamed.
Barack Obama has been and will continue to meet with President Bush to be briefed on various issues before he is sworn is as the next Commander In Chief. I truly feel that Mr. Obama will start to realize the challenges he faces and it will not be an easy task. He will find a new found respect for President Bush when he discovers what he's had to take on these past eight years.
There is an opportunity out there for the conservative party to come forward and fight for what we believe in. Believe me, when we feel their are poor decisions being made by President Elect Obama and the democratic congress, we will not stay quiet. We will respectfully disagree and make our voices heard.

Get Out And VOTE
Well it's time to get out and vote. I've tried to make my case and I hope you've given a little thought to the choice you'll make.
We can not afford a president in office that has never had to make tough decisions. We can not afford a president that has known associations with terrorists. We can not afford to change our democratic nation into a socialist nation. We can not afford to punish the corporations that provide jobs for Americans. We can not afford a president that will (according to Joe Biden) be guaranteed to be tested within the first 6 months in office. We can not afford a president to be careless about the strategies in our war on terror.
A price will be paid for our decision. Believe me, change is a coming, but will it be a change in the right direction?

Countdown to Election Day - 1 Day
We're down to the wire, 1 day to go, tomorrow is the day. Time to make a decision that is going to change the next 4 years of your life. This is the most historic election our country has ever seen. I encourage everyone to go out and vote, with the exception of those that are blindly going to the ballot box. It is so important that you understand the reason for your choice.
So, I ask that when you go in to cast your vote, ask yourself these few questions:
1) Who will help our country out of our economic crisis?
**Is it the right choice to increase taxes, especially to the small businesses that employ so many Americans?
**Can we afford to give additional tax cuts to anyone?
**Should people who currently don't pay income taxes get a check from the government?
**Should government spending be increased by a trillion dollars or should we cut excess spending on nonsensical things, such as research for waterless urinals?
2) Who will hold our American values of free democratic society?
**Four words: Spread the wealth around. This is no longer a democratic society, it's socialistic.
3) Who can we trust to make good judgements on foreign policies?
**Should we meet with the leader of Iran without preconditions?
4) Bigger government or decreased size in government?
5) Has this candidate made tough decisions for the best interest of our country?
**Voting present 130 times in congress does not seem to me like anyone can make a definite decision.
**Choosing to stay captive by the enemy on enemy grounds rather than getting a pass to go back home, says something about a man and what his country means.
6) Shouldn't we allow medical care to a child who survived an abortion?
**To say that giving this medical attention 'defeats the purpose' of the procedure is inconrehensable.
The decision is ours to make and we need to take a seriously look at our choices. If you've already gone to cast your vote, I hope and pray you made the right decision.
May God Continue to Bless America.

Countdown to Election Day - 4 Days
It's the Friday before election day. We see polls tightening, packed filled rallies and screaming fans for our candidates. As we listen to blurbs from the campaign trail, there was one that struck me from a rally for Obama. A lady after the 'show' said, "...it is the most memorable thing I ever saw....I don't have to worry about paying for gas in my car....I don't have to worry about paying my mortgage."
I'm sorry, what did you say? Don't have to worry about paying for gas?? Don't have to worry about paying for your mortgage? Well now that's interesting. Whom madam is going to pay this for you? Oh, I see, the people who are working hard and earning a decent living will be forced to share their wealth.
It frightens me to see where our country is heading. Moving on....
Admittedly I wasn't thrilled when McCain was the man chosen to be the Republican candidate. All though he's admirable, he was to me a man in the middle. He didn't represent the strong conservative values that I hold dear. Pro-God, Pro-Country, Pro-Guns & Pro-Life. Then enters Gov. Sarah Palin. She came out and gave conservatives a voice and I was pumped up to rally for this ticket.
Not long after she was announced, the attacks started rolling in. I'm not going to go into all of the rants, but if you've watched the mainstream media, you know what I mean. Problem is, people are buying it and spew off these talking points when I get into a debate.
One example, my niece who is 11 years old was telling me about a debate she has for school where kids get to talk about why they support the VP nominees. She was chosen to talk about why Joe Biden would make a good VP and Sarah Palin wouldn't. She was so excited about Joe Biden, so I had to ask, you know to help prep her for the debate. Here's how it went:
Me: What is it about Barack Obama and Joe Biden that you like.
Niece: Free Healthcare. And he will bring change...
Me: How is that free healthcare paid for?
Niece: Taxes, but it's good because everyone needs it.
Me: Have you seen the Universal Healthcare in Canada and how it has helped them? Question was withdrawn and I moved on.
Me: What don't you like about Sarah Palin?
Niece: Well, she doesn't seem to really know a lot and doesn't have any experience.
Me: And what experience does Barack Obama have? Did you know Joe Biden even said that Barack Obama didn't have the experience to lead?
Niece: No, he didn't say that. And Barack is a SENATOR (this word was elaborated).
Me: Well, Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska. She's had to make executive decisions for her state.
Niece: (Dumbfounded look) She is? I didn't know that...
This is when the conversation was stopped by my sister. But I had to finish by saying, "Make sure to do your research."
My point here is, people all over the place who are supporting Senator Obama point their finger at Sarah Palin claiming she has 'no experience'. But when you come at them with what Sarah Palin has done for her state and point out the legitimate lack of experience in Obama, they get angry and get on the defense. After all, Obama is the ONE. He will save us all.
I'm sorry, what did you say? Don't have to worry about paying for gas?? Don't have to worry about paying for your mortgage? Well now that's interesting. Whom madam is going to pay this for you?

Election Day - 5 Days!
Senator Obama had his 30 minute ad last night to plead with the American people on what he will do for the country as president. In the history of this race I have never heard of a man spending millions of dollars to run an info-mercial on his agenda. Programs were postposted for the ONE to speak. I just heard that the World Series was postponed so that this could be aired! Are you kidding me??
Another recent discovery is a dinner that Obama had with Palestitian Americans including Rashid Khalidi a former member of the PLO(Palestine Liberation Organization). During this dinner some of the men "expressed anger at Israel and at U.S. foreign policy" There is a video tape of this event, but do you think it will be released? The Los Angeles Times wrote on this event back in April http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-obamamideast10apr10,0,1780231,full.story. They came out and said that due to a confidential source, they can not release the video tape. Now hold on a minute, if this were Senator McCain and there was a secret video of him having dinner with members of a terrorist organization, would the video be supressed? Oh no, no, no... the media would force this to be released. The congress might even get involved.
Let's talk about this for a minute. We know that Obama has ties to his long time pastor Jerimiah Wright whom expresses hatred towards America, in a quote, 'Not God Bless America, God D America'. Obama sat in his church for over twenty years (according to Obama went to this church around twice a month during these 20 years) but he never heard any of these types of statements. Obama in addition launched his Senate campaign, sat on boards and held speaches with William Ayers who is a former member of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group that bombed the US Captial. Ayers is not repentive on what he did. Obama also has associates with Palestinian men who are anti-Isreal. Now, these are just some of the known associations he has. Of course the main stream media will play this off as, 'he doesn't agree with their actions, he has condemed them'. This is played off like it's not a big deal. Let me ask this, if Obama was seeking a job with the police force or any other security officer job would he be eligable? No. One of the questions is, 'Do you have known associations with terriorists.' Obama's answer would be Yes and he'd be denied the job. So how the hell can he run for the president of the United States??
How in the right mind can so many Americas swoon over this man? How can they say he would be the best man to lead America? How can you say he actually has experience to make decisions in the best interest of this country? WAKE UP!!! While Obama may give a great speach and entice you with his plan, do you actually think he will lead this country in the right direction? And don't give me this horsecrap that he's better than what we've had for the last 8 years. That is bogus and you know it.
Bottom line, if you're okay with casting your vote for a man who has associated himself with unsavory characters, a man who was sworn into the Senate office on January 4, 2005 and began his run for President in May of 2007, a man who could not make a 'Yes' or 'No' vote, but 'Present' 130 times on the senate floor http://obama.senate.gov/votes/, a man who wants to 'spread the wealth', a man who wants to raise taxes on Americans making 200K (this amount may have changed again), a man voted actually did vote against banning partial birth abortion, a man who said,"I am going to teach them (his daughters) first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." If none of this bothers you, and you can morally cast your vote for this man, then by all means....
I encourage you to please, read, research and open your eyes. This is the biggest election of our lifetime, we can't afford to mess this up.

Countdown to Election Day - 6 Days
I'm getting nervous, excited and fearful about election day. Hard to believe it's only 7 days away. As I watch the ads, read the articles and fumble through the countless flyer's in the mail, I have failed to get my words out there. So, from now until election day, I will write a little each day in hopes that someone, somewhere out there will find themselves truly thinking about who would be the best to lead our country.
I would like some Obama supporter to explain to me the reason why they feel he is the best man to lead this country other then 'We need change'. Here are the reasons I've heard:
1. Universal Healthcare
2. Free College Tuition
3. Change
4. Economy
5. Don't want 8 years of the same
6. Change
Lets look at these one by one. First, Universal Healthcare. Obama wants to make sure everyone in the country gets free healthcare. You can view this as noble, to want to try and make sure people have healthcare available for even those that don't have insurance. Here's my issue. Have you seen how the system works in Canada or Europe? They currently have a Universal Healthcare plan. If it's so good, why are people waiting months for surgery, months to get a tooth pulled? Why do they fly over to America to get medical attention that they need. Don't believe this? Research for yourself.
Second, free college tuition. Now, I don't know if this is part of his plan, but he has mentioned how he wants education available to everyone, and to make it affordable. If we grant this privilege to all kids, how will they ever try hard to earn their own way. I thought the way it works is that the brilliant kids who get straight A's, work their tail off, and reach for their goals, they are the ones who get the grants and the free ride to college. For all the other kids, they might try the best they can, but still have to work, work, work to pay their way for their advanced education. If college isn't affordable to families, well, their are community colleges and part time jobs availble to kids.
Third, change. Change from??? A democratic country to a socialist country? Have yet to hear an explanation of what Obama's change will be.
Forth, economy. Obama's record on the economy is nil. He believes that raising taxes on the wealthy (anyone earning over 250K a year, which DOES include small businesses) will be good for the economy. He wants to 'spread the wealth'. He thinks it isn't fair that someone who has worked their life to build something out of themselves isn't fair for those that are living pay check to check. Aren't we suppose to have our own goals and dreams? We shouldn't have to wait for some hand out to propel our dreams. We have to put one foot in front of the other and make our own way.
Fifth, Doesn't want 8 years of the same. Hmmm. That's interesting. I guess I see something different than everyone else. The Obama supporters rant about how horrible the Bush Administration has been. While I might not agree with all the decisions President Bush has made, he has truly tried to do what is best for our country. One example, it was President Bush that instituted the tax cuts, which I know all of you out there who paid taxes, got a tax cut. Another thing, I thank God that it was President Bush in the White House when terrorists attacked us on our soil. He made a tough decision to fight against them, to spread democracy and help a nation in need of freedom. Haven't we been free from attack in the past 7 years? Maybe you don't think about that. For those of you that feel this war is unjust and say to yourself 'it's not our problem', what would you do if you looked across the street and see someone being raped, mugged or stabbed, turn your head and say 'it's not my problem'? If you don't think it's moral and just to stop a world from evil, then boy, you have a different mind set then me.
To get back to the point on not wanting 8 more years of the same, it seems that since the Democrats took over the house and Senate, our economy started to plummet. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of blame on both sides to the mistakes that were made (Republicans are the only ones to point the finger at their own party, Democrats refuse to point the finger at themselves). But think of this, who was is that pushed the mortgage lenders to loan money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. The Democratic Congress. Who was one of the strongest supporters and told America that Fannie & Freddy is a good investment, Barney Frank, oh yeah, he is a democrat. Who continued to throw in pork spending on various bills? The Democratic Congress? Who is wanting 1 trillion dollars in new spending? Barack Obama.
Sixth, Change. I've made my point.

No Deal
No deal 228 Nay to 205 Yay in the House of Reps on regards to the 700B$ bail out of AIG. Apparently there were some measures within this bill that are not in our best interest.
We all need to take a look at what this bill constitutes. What were the stipulations? What would the costs be to the taxpayers? I think the right decision was made based upon the floor debate before the votes were cast. With as many objections received, there is more work to be done.
There is worry and doubt among the American people on what our future holds. This financial debacle has many fingers pointed at various parties. We can look to Wall Street, the mortgage companies the unethical spending in congress. For those that place the blame fully on the Bush Administration, you are not looking at the whole picture. There is so much hatred towards our President that it is sickening. I've never seen so many vulgar displays of protest in my life. While I don't always agree with all of the decisions, I do firmly believe that he is looking to make decisions that are in the best interest of the people.
We need to have our minds clear, our eyes open and our ears clean as we listen to the debates that will change the course of our country's history. I will do what I can to keep informed and spread the knowledge of what I've learned to you.

Independence Day
It's been 8 months since my last post, apparently I lost my motivation to write, but I'm back....
First, it is Independence Day, a day of celebration for our country's indenpendence. As we gather around our family and friends to watch the fireworks, let us remember what this day means. It's not just a day for taking a boat ride, eating hotdogs, writing our name in the air with sparklers and watching the sky light up with color...it is a day to celebrate who we are as a nation.
America, we are the land of the free, the best country on earth. We take our freedoms for granted and forget how we got to be the place we are. I am blessed to be an American and love this beautiful land, but I have fears that she is slipping away. Our country is founded on Christian beliefs, and yet the Ten Commandments are not cherished as they once were.
Over the past several months our country has been hit by tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes and fires, and yet I don't know if people got the message. In the state that I live massive flooding hit on June 13th with over 1000 blocks were covered in water, including our downtown business district in Cedar Rapids. This was referred to as the 500 year flood as we have not endured this amount of flood in 500 years. We are strong, and we will overcome. We will rebuild our lives once again, but it will not be the same. Over these past weeks I have seen the strength and compassion of Americans. It is amazing to watch neighbors helping each other, to lend a hand or give a hug. No one was waiting for a hand out from the government, people picked up their feet and took matters into their own hands. We will survive and move on.
When I traveled the streets to see the devestation, my heart broke and my head looked up to the sky. Could this be a sign of the end times? Is God calling his children to come back to Him. He is a Shepard calling for his herd. It is time to allow God back into our lives, our homes, and our hearts.
May we all have a blessed Independence Day as we celebrate our country.
