Now Is The Time To Take A Stand !

The purpose of this article is to implore black men and black women to cast off the shackles of slavery and to stand free beside me as equals.


It has been heavy on my heart the way black people in my country have been treated since pre-civil war times.


The 'North' States during the creation of the constitution had to barter with the "South" States and work out agreements in order to nail down a set of rules and foundation on which to build this country.  The South would have nothing to do with removing slavery.  Their economy depended upon it and they would walk away from the table and refuse to become a part of the United States if forced to give it up.


If the South gained a majority of power there would be no hope of ever removing slavery from the country.  Something called the 3/5ths compromise was decided upon.  If each slave was counted as a whole(1) person, the South would have far too much influence and slavery would never be abolished.  If each slave was not counted at all, the south would easily be overthrown in numbers in the government representatives and then slavery would be outlawed.. thus the South refused to join.  So.. the compromise was that each slave would be counted as 3/5ths of a vote/person; also... a road to the reduction and gradual removal of slavery was laid out for the future.  (Supporting Data)


The issue of slavery continued as the South kept a tight fist on the issue of slavery and did not live up to their promises that were made at the time of the 3/5ths compromise.  Several States of the north had already abolished slavery and pressure grew from the churches and communities to abolish this horrid treatment of other men and women.


The Republican party was created by anti-slavery people that were determined to make a change and rid this country of slavery.  (Supporting Data)


But what of the 3/5ths compromise do black men and black women get taught in school?  What do black men and black women get taught about the Republican Party?


They are taught in public schools that Republicans are evil and don't consider them equals; that the 3/5ths compromise was the North and Republicans saying that a black man is only worth 3/5's of a white man.  No where in the public school education are black men and black women told that it was the Democrat controlled South (slave owners) that wanted to keep them as slaves to this very day; that were bartering and promising to gradually remove slavery; just to lie with no intention of ever freeing black men and black women from slavery.  (Supporting Data)


Are black men and black women in public schools taught that it was the Democrat party that opposed the Civil Rights laws of 1964.  Are black men and black women in public schools taught that their beloved Democrat Senator Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK and in 1944 he wrote to Senator Theodore Bilbo, "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side . ." and said he would sooner die a thousand deaths and see Old Glory trampled into the ground than to do so; at his request he appeared in the movie Gods and Generals as a confederate general; he filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act; and he was the only senator to vote against confirming Clarence Thomas and Thurgood Marshall to the United States Supreme Court.  (Supporting Data)  But the Democratic Party didn't suddenly find love for black men and women because Senator Byrd is now dead; no, they are still filled in their ranks with racists.  (Supporting Data)


Are black men and black women in public schools taught that it was the Republican Party that introduced the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 when they were a minority and outnumbered by the Democrats?  But that it was the Democrats that filibustered to prevent it from becoming law?


Did you know that it was brought to the floor of congress long before by Republican Senator Charles Sumner's 1875 Civil Rights Act..  Where again; the Democrats threw it out and would have nothing to do with providing rights for black men and black women in this country.  (Supporting Data)


So; why did Obama get 95% of the black vote in the last presidential election?  Why; election after election, decade after decade do the black men and women of this country vote and support and chant with almost religious fervor to support the people that never wanted them to break the bonds of slavery?  Never wanted them to get the right to vote? Never wanted them to share their drinking fountains or eat at their same counters or ride in the front of the buses?  Why do black men and women insist on being so blindly devoted to the political party that seeks to hang them from trees in nooses?  (Supporting Data)


This article only scratches the surface of this subject.  There are literally dozens of subjects which this problem encompasses and it would take at least three books to cover them all properly.


But I have to ask.. no; I have to challenge black men and black women to dare to walk away from the people that for centuries have wanted to (literally) enslave them.  (Link To Someone That Decided To Stop Being The Slave)


After the civil war, reconstruction was the North forcing the South to free their slaves.  Did it change the hearts of those slave owners and get them to treat the newly freed slaves as equals?  No, it created the KKK, separate drinking fountains; and the list goes on and on.  It created a new and equally ugly type of hate and human embarrassment.


I know this will skim over a great many issues which each deserve their own article or even an entire book printed about them, but this article would be incomplete without bringing them up.


I need each of you to ask if the following list of positions is something you wanted when you voted for Obama.  Go down the list and keep count of all the issues which your blind support has given out country.


1.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has given us increased federal tax funding to overseas abortions.  $50 million here, it's illegal for military bases here in the States to give abortions, but overseas Obama found a loop-hole to kill more babies here.

2.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has taken money from your paycheck, your children's paychecks, your grand children's paychecks in order to give Trillions of dollars to banks across the country.  (Supporting Data)

3.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has ensured that our men and women in uniform are still in Iraq and Afghanistan.

4.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has ensured that the Bush Tax cuts are going to be allowed to expire; and thus you will see your taxes going up because Obama thinks he can spend your paycheck better than you can.

5.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has allowed NASA to have their space program gutted and their new top priority to become traveling around the world to make sure the Muslim world feels good about themselves.  (Supporting Data)

6.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has ensured an environmental catastrophe of epic proportions in the Gulf of Mexico so that he can get enough ecological damage to push his green agenda.  (Supporting Data)  A President to determined to line the pockets of his rich ivestor friends that he will sacrifice the jobs and livlihoods of millions of people in the Gulf of Mexico to ensure a state of emergency strong enough to give him more dictatorial power.  (Supporting Data)

7. Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has given the United States of America the worst episode of prolonged unemployment since the Great Depression.  (Supporting Data)  With unemployment now reaching around 22% nationally.  (Supporting Data)

8.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has ensured a weakening of Israel and support of the Terrorist group Hamas.  (Supporting Data) (Additional Supporting Data)

9.  Devotion to the Democrat Party and Obama has given us a President that is a Racist and who wishes to see your country destroyed.  (Supporting Data)

This list could go on beyond the buffer of my 8 Gigga-bytes of RAM.

This is the time in our country when black men and black women and their children have a chance to break the chains of slavery from around their ankles.  This is the time in our country when black men and women and their children can have real hope.

Please, I implore you to stop playing the part of the battered wife.  Leave your cruel and degrading and abusive relationship and stand up for yourself.  You will find tremendous support and acceptance from your fellow Americans.

Don't just vote for someone with an R (Republican) by their name; because many of them over the years have been corrupted by power as well.  Search for a candidate that supports what you believe in and who has a track record of actually keeping to their beliefs -after- they actually get elected.

Please, I beg you.  We can not help you; if you do not decide to help yourself.  Please stop being the puppet of the Democrat Party.  You are being used and abused and mocked as an entire race of suckers.  Please; be enraged as you should be.  Demand respect by taking action at the ballot box this fall.

Please !!!

Lose It All - So You Can Have It All

My words today are about my personal life as well as politics and my vision as to how to revive our country.

There are many facets to a diamond, many angles and ways in which light reflects through it to produce a single diamond. Today I am looking at just one of those facets of my life. It is not the entire diamond, but just one of the parts of who I am.

It is my belief that when a person (myself included) gets caught up in the perfect house, the nice car, the great neighborhood, busy working extra hours to pay for it all, finding you need to send your wife off to work to help pay for it all.. you begin to get consumed by it all.

You may still go to church, still seem to have all your beliefs in place. But are you? Have you compromised going to your daughter’s swimming event so you can get some overtime? Did you drop another $1000 on a credit card so you can have all the fancy new technology for your kid for Christmas? Are you working 40 hours of the week just to pay your payments and overtime is the only time you have any breathing room to pay off debt or most likely… to burn on entertainment to make the stress go away?

Well, I am here to tell you that the stress and pain of living that life can go away. But you have to go through a furnace first and burn away all that poison that is stealing the joy of life from you.

We never had to claim Bankruptcy because I was able to get a job working in Baghdad as a contractor and that was great money. A year and a half of bashing away at debt kept us from that fate. But it was close and there was a great deal of pain involved in digging out of that hole. It forced a re-prioritizing of our lives.

Compound the issue of being away from my family for 1 ½ years in order to help dig my family out of that hole, I was also mentored in an amazing program to teach me financial responsibility and life training in character and integrity.

I don’t know what your bottom is, but I hit mine and it’s what was needed for the scales and illusions of the ‘perfect life’ to fall from my eyes and let me see me and the world around me clearly for the first time.

My master was debt and feeling I had to keep pushing that perfect life further and further with 0% down, 24 months same as cash.

What is your master? Having the perfect life? Alcohol? Fishing? Softball? Something else?

I am not claiming that every illusion, every problem, every hang-up in my life has been purged from me. But to this point there is nothing I am knowingly holding on to as my own.

When you recover, and realize that even if you lose everything again, you know that you can survive and it will make your stronger and those around you will become more dear and important to you. The fear no longer controls you, manipulates you, and leverages you into being the person you don’t want to be.

That concludes the part about my personal life.

As it applies to politics I believe we as a country must also hit a Bankruptcy (obviously that will financially happen now), but not financially… ethically.

We as a people have filed our government in an ethical bankruptcy case. We have discovered no character and no integrity in our government. We have discovered corruption from Village, Town, City, County, State and Federal levels.

We are at our Countries bottom and we have a choice as a people. Will we endure the pain of the fire? Will we become uncomfortable and take action to dig out of this problem? We have a mountain of ethical debt that seems overwhelming in our ability as a country to climb out of.

The other choice?  Do nothing and watch the world around you crumble into ruin.  Me; I choose to become part of the sollution, and not a part of the problem.

My solution is to start with ourselves. Purge every action and thought in your life that calls into question your character and integrity. Do you take shortcuts at work to save money at the expense of quality or the customer? Do you deceive your wife by dropping by the pub on your way home for a drink with the guys and a good flirt with the waitress? Do you choose the softball game in the evenings over time with your kids at home? Do you choose that booze in the bottle and make it the thing you put most important in your life?

To save yourself, you must lose yourself.

Stop having your life be about yourself; my perfect life, my bottle, my softball, my feeling good. Stop having your life be about yourself; turn your attention on others. Turn your attention on serving your wife, your children, and the people in your community.

How about wash those dishes without being asked? Fold that load of laundry you know are in the drier instead of going to that softball game? Ask your son to go play catch in the yard before he asks you. Mow your neighbor’s lawn while they are out grocery shopping and slip away without letting them know it was you.

If you can tackle this in your family life and with your neighbors.. then run for the board of your town or city. Continue in the same fashion. Serve. Put people before yourself. Help people learn to stand on their own and make an earning to provide for their families. Cut taxes so people can pay their bills and expand their businesses and hire more people. Cut programs that government has no business being a part of. Trim back your local government like you have learned to do with your family. If you don’t have the money in the budget; then you don’t do it. You put money into savings, you plan for a rainy day and you get completely out of debt. Your town will flourish and so will you because you have put others ahead of yourself.

If you can tackle the local posts, become involved with State positions. This still doesn’t get complicated. Run the State like you run your family. Put others before yourself, keep within your budget, don’t waste other people’s money. And uphold the laws and ethics.

If you can tackle the State posts, become involved in Federal positions. This still doesn’t get complicated. Run the Federal like you run your family.

I think you can see the pattern here.

Yes, we must point out corruption and tyranical leadership where we see it.  But that will not fix the problem.  We must replace those people with people that are not self-seeking power whores.

If you do not see anyone you feel you can support in an election, maybe that means that you need to run for the position.

Here in Arizona the Senate race looks like I'm going to have two choices. Senator John McCain, or J.D. Hayworth.  Again, another election where I have to decide on bad, and worse.

I think it's time to take my own advice.  Got my family in order?  Got my community in order?  Perhaps it will take us a long time to make a dramatic improvement across the country, but if everyone is doing this I believe the compound effect of our lives will create a tidal wave of ethical recovery in the country.

Join me, fall on our knees and get our personal lives in order.  Then stand up with confidence and humility to help those around us.  Let us lead by example and reclaim this dying country.

Big Stink Over Nothing

A few big river (main stream) news outlets are going on about some Israeli soilders dancing while on patrol in Iraq.

After watching the video I have to ask... what's the big deal?

Do those ivy league snobs have a clue what the stress level is like over there? Have they been separated from their families for months/years at a time while getting shot at and friends blown up with road side bombs?

I spent 1 1/2 years over in Iraq and I can tell you; this is EXACTLY what is needed sometimes to keep your sanity.

Lighten up you putzes.

Facebook Group: ( Fox News: We Want to Buy Glenn Beck's Founder's Fridays in a DVD set )

Upon the idea of and the encouragement to create a ground-swelling of support for Fox News to create a DVD set of Glenn Beck's Founder's Friday episodes; I have created the following Facebook Group.

The group page gives you the email address to Fox News as well as their phone number (if you prefer a more personal approach).

Amazing Collection of T-Shirts

I followed one of those advertisement links in the side columns of one of the conservative blogs and sites that I frequently read and I stumbled onto this T-Shirt place that has loads of incredible t-shirts.  I'm going to have to organize a wish-list for all my friends and family for my birthday. :)

Here is the website where you can order them: http://thoseshirts.com/tshirts.html











Video: Florida’s Lt. Col. Allen West’s Independence Day Address

I am so encouraged that we still have amazing people left in this country that we can send to represent us in the nations capital.  This man is going to make a wonderful congressman.

Lt. Col. Allen West is running for Florida's 22nd Congressional District. This man is the real deal, Florida. We need men like Col. West in Washington D.C.

Obama's NASA Czar - Al Jazeera

Okay, so I stumble across this video in my fishing on the internet for curious things to make note of and to ponder...

We have below a video of the head of NASA explaining how Mr. Obama came to him and laid out his purpose as leading NASA; gave him his orders and told him how he wanted NASA to be run:
1. Reinspire children in science and math.
2. Expand international relations.
3. Reach out to the Muslim world and make them feel good.

Um... What the?!

Number one makes since and has probably been part of the public relations of NASA since it was created.

Number two... okay, starting to scratch my head just a little bit. But to a point it makes since because 80% of all scientist trained in our universities in the United States graduate and go back to their home countries around the world. So most scientist that we train here don't even live here. So perhaps it's an admission that we have lost our scientific edge and inginuity. As a side note: Congratulations to our school system which has managed to succeed in producing a generation of illiterate feebleminded voters.

Number three.. Um.. Okay, so what does NASA have to do with being a Public Relations machine to cozy up to the Muslim world?

I had to do a bit of research to find what sort of contribution the Muslim world to this point has really done in leading space exploration.

I managed to find this, "While a number of Muslim countries have space agencies, and even home built satellites, primarily communication and weather sats, only one Muslim country claims to have its own capability to launch things into low Earth orbit. That country is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran's space program is thought by most analysts to be designed to develop ballistic missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction against targets in the Middle East, Israel and Saudi Arabia, Europe and North America."  (source of quote)

So, if we are reaching out to share space exploration technology; I would think we would focus out efforts on the country(ies) that would offer the greatest exchange of ideas. Iran?

Is this like Clinton selling military secrets to China? What's the end game here? Other than the fact that we know Obama hates America, wants to see Israel destroyed and is a supporter of terrorists.. oh.. well when you put all the pieces together I guess the picture gets rather clear doesn't it.

Rise Up - INSPIRED BY GLENN BECK Jeremy Hoop

There is something empowering about knowing you are not standing alone; that there is still right in this world.. that we WILL be holding the villainy in D.C. accountable.
