Hope

Let's drop politics for a moment shall we?

In an era where Christmas spirit is in short supply, and where the idea of wishing someone a Merry Christmas is deemed inappropriate, I submit to you the following story. (link at bottom of article)

In the past, faith, good spirit, kindness, and hope were attributes that Christmas brought out of individuals. It was a time of peace, of good will towards men, of kindnesses, and of heart. This time of year, above all times, is our chance to show we are human and give reason to show one another the good in all of us. I would argue that this should not be a one time a year event, but an everyday occurance, but let's not be picky. We have to start somewhere.

There is something special in the season, and it really does not matter if or how you celebrate the time or not, there is just something irresistable in it all. Yet, hearing how shoppers trample over one another to get the greatest deal or latest gadget might lead one to think that this "spirit" is dying. It can be depressing knowing that "good will towards men" might be turning into "who cares about you, I'm doing what's good for me!"

Despite the negativism in much of our population, and the air of distrust that we project upon one another, let us not forget how a simple smile or kind word can do wonders, how a kindness is not forgotton, and how hope is contageous. It is hope that will get us through hard times, and our ability to love, no matter how different we are, is our way to light up the darkness. Let your light shine this holiday season and EVERYDAY.

I hope this story is an inspiration to you all.

Dear Readers

Unfortunately, I have been working a ridiculous amount of hours over the past month and have had no time to post to the site. However, things appear to be slowing down and I will begin posting regularly again in the next few weeks. I apologize to anyone still reading the site, and I look forward to reading and responding to any posts I have not yet addressed.

If you have been following recent events, you would have seen congress continuing to spend at an unprecedented rate, the corruption in the Illinois government, the nationalizing of banks, the efforts to control the auto industry, and the continued power grab by the federal reserve and the U.S. government. All of this points to a continued effort to destroy our freedoms as Americans, and the foundation of the Constitution.

Below is a video that shows that there were those many years ago that saw this coming. Like the people of this nation, they were ignored. Make no mistake, this was no accident. Despite media and government continually trying to point the finger away from themselves, I ask you to think critically as you watch the following video.

What I've Learned

Reflecting back over the past year's election, I've learned a few things:

• The majority of Americans do not understand where our leaders are taking us and more importantly, do not understand the Constitution or the ideas that inspired its writing.
• The "progressives" in the Democratic Party have become an instrument of socialism, believe in collectivist ideals, and are working to destroy our Constitution.
• The "neo-cons" in the Republican Party have left their conservative base, promote patriotism as allegiance to the state despite the destruction of individual liberty, believe in collectivist ideals, and are working to destroy our Constitution.
• The media has been hijacked by corporate interests and big money, is dividing America, promotes racism, and no longer has any integrity.
• Government has grown to gargantuan proportions, no longer follows the Constitution, and no longer listen to the people.
• Lies and deceit are the trademark of most politicians - I already knew this, but it has become even more apparent.
• Americans are not as scared of socialism as they should be.
• The voting system is flawed, rigged, and fruadulent. It needs to be reformed.
• We are teetering on the brink of something very scary...

And last but not least:

• Many Americans are waking up. There is hope!

Here Is Your Handbasket America, It Is Going To Be Hell

I would have been unhappy had John McCain been elected President. He has never shown a respect for constitutional government, and has meandered over to liberal ideas time and time again. Yet...

It might have been better.

It might have been better than what we are getting. I have never seen a man running for office with so much damaging information and commentary than that of Barack Obama. The astounding amount of ammunition against Obama would have destroyed any other politician. Yet it was hidden, the media was silent, and Americans will suffer.

I think both candidates were poor choices. However, this Barack Hussein Obama is scary. America wants change, they will get it. Americans want something different (even though most Obama supporters don't understand what they want), they will get it. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be painful. It's going to change the political landscape in this country to the point where freedom will be in short supply. It will do nothing but further destroy the economy of this country. I can already hear the footsteps of this march toward socialism, and it frightens me. I am frightened for those who do not realize what they are getting. Those who followed so blindly will get a rude awakening.

Mark my words America. There is no stopping this "progressive" movement. The next four years will be hell. Hopefully you will learn over this time, understand what you voted for and what you lost. You may think socialism is a great idea, but if you look around the globe, those people who are suppressed and oppressed by their governments (socialist, fascist, statist, totalitarianist. etc...) yearn for the freedom that we just lost. The shame is, we had choices. We had the ability to decide and we voted it out. We voted against the Constitution, voted against small government, personal accountability, free markets, liberty, justice, and morality.

Farewell America. You will be missed.

I Stand Corrected...Obama Is No Socialist

The Presidential Oath of Office

Glenn Beck analyzes one of Obama's clips from 2001 and reveals the marxist philosphy in Obama's words.


Glenn Beck does a fabulous job in his commentary explaining the message behind Obama's words. I urge every American to do your homework. Understand the dangers that this type of thinking will have on our Constitution, our people, and our wonderful country. It does not matter what side of the aisle this line of thinking comes from, it is destructive, manipulative, and dangerous for the future of this nation.

Let me end with the oath that every President takes when he enters office. Read it, then ask yourself: How can a president faithfully execute his Office of President when the powers of that office are derived from a document he/she does not believe in? How can a president who wants to change a Constitution that he/she believes is flawed, protect that very Constitution? It is our Constitution that protects us as Americans. It is our Constitution that keeps us free from tyranny, opression, and slavery. It is our Constitution that grants us, THE PEOPLE, liberty. Whether you are Democrat or Republican, the one thing we should all fight together for is Liberty.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." - Presidential Oath of Office
