Have you ever had the feeling that everything is upside down, that nothing makes any sense any more. That you have stepped into the Twilight Zone?
That is where I am and have been for some time now. I honestly cannot stand to watch or listen to Obama any longer, I am burnt out on the news and the politics of this mess we call a country. I do not recognize the America I grew up in any longer, and fear she may be lost forever to the cancer of the progressive/communist party that has infiltrated every aspect of our society and political system. From the highest levels of our government to our educational system and our entertainment. Most days I feel like climbing out onto the roof, and screaming bloody murder, in a desperate attempt to get the attention of those “still in a daze,” the “sheeple!” I become sad and angry when I allow myself to pay the least little bit of attention to the news cycle, I get so emotional and it just smothers me, and devours me; I feel my soul sinking into the darkness; into the mud, like quicksand and the more I struggle to break free, the more I am swallowed by the muck and the mire. It consumes me and presses down on me until I feel as though I cannot breath; sucking the life force from me. I feel totally helpless and hopeless right now, and my judgement is clouded by the dense fog I seem to be trapped within.
So to all my many fans and supporters ~ I am still alive, but I am taking a step away from writing for the time being. The stress, the anger and the emotional roller coaster of watching what is happening to our great country is taking its toll on my health and for that reason I am taking time away from the political scene, my health must and always will come first.
Please know that I am not giving up on my writing, I just need to take some time away from it, to regroup, and regain perspective and allow my body to heal. When I am able to find my voice again and express myself again without feeling so sick all the time, I will be back. For now, I need to find some happiness, joy and peace in my life and allow my mind and body time to heal.
Please keep me in your prayers and for those who are able, keep up the good fight and know that in spirit I am there cheering you all on. So for now, I leave you with this song to ponder:
Where to begin, I am so angry with you I am struggling to find the words that will adequately convey to you the depth of my anger, disgust and repugnance toward you at this moment. How dare you shut down the War Memorials and prevent our WWII, Korean, and Viet Nam Veterans from visiting these memorials. You are behaving like a spoiled petulant child, not as the President and Commander-in-Chief. But then, you have absolutely no concept or understanding as to what that role entails. Only having the experience of a Community Organizer under your belt, you would not have any idea how a Commander-in-Chief should behave or how a President should respond to a stressful situation. That would require honor, dignity and strength of character, none of which you possess, nor have the slightest understanding or inkling.
I find it rather amusing that you would liken yourself to Abraham Lincoln, as you do not possess one quality in common with this great man, especially the attributes he possessed as a Commander-in-Chief, which I will share with you here:
Capacity to Listen to Different Points of View:
Abraham Lincoln created a climate where Cabinet members were free to disagree without fear of retaliation. At the same time, he knew when to stop the discussion and after listening to the various opinions, make a final decision.
You have made it your personal ambition to punish anyone who disagrees with your perspective and/or decisions. Points being, your current punishment of our Veterans, and the American People by shutting down all States Parks and War Memorials, because you are not willing to negotiate at all. Instead you have dug your heels in and like a spoiled child who wants what he wants, when he wants it and how he wants it. That is not the trademark of a good leader, but that of a dictator; Hitler comes to mind here. You have used the NSA to spy on members of the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court to ensure they toe the line, or suffer the consequences of your wrath. You spy on the citizens, and use the IRS as your personal Gestapo, to go after those who disagree with your politics and policies. Again Hitler comes to mind here.
Ability to Learn on the Job:
Lincoln was able to acknowledge his errors and mistakes learn from them, and then move. In this way, Lincoln established a culture of learning in his administration, said Kearns Goodwin.
Unlike Lincoln, you Mr. President have not accepted any responsibility whatsoever for your failings and shortcomings, but rather continually place the blame on others! For 5 years we have heard how every one of your disastrous mistakes was the fault of either President Bush, the Republican’s, or even the Worlds fault! Not once have you accepted responsibility, for your bad policies; that President Obama could be viewed as a pathological flaw in your character, again Hitler comes to mind here.
Willingness to Share Credit for Success:
In response to concerns expressed by friends about the actions of some of his Cabinet members, Lincoln stated that the “path to success and ambition is broad enough for two” said Kearns Goodwin. When there was success, Lincoln shared the credit with all of those involved.
The only thing you are willing to share with others is your wretched, catastrophic mistakes, shortcomings and personal failings. But then to do even that, you would first have to accept responsibility for them and we have already determined that you are not capable of such an attribute. You are far too self-centered, and self-absorbed to share anything positive with anyone else. Just as you claimed full responsibility for the killing of Osama bin Laden and giving absolutely no credit to Seal Team 6, who did the work, while you were too busy on the golf course honing your swing.
Willingness to Share Blame for Failure
When mistakes were made by members of his Cabinet, Lincoln stood up for them said Kearns Goodwin. When contracts related to the war effort raised serious questions about a member of his administration, Lincoln spoke up and indicated that he and his entire Cabinet were to blame.
Just as Lincoln was able to share defeat and failure, you would first have to acknowledge that you have made a mistake or that you have shortcomings and again we have established that you are not capable of such an act, so there is no real need to expound any further.
Awareness of Own Weaknesses
One of the weaknesses acknowledged by Lincoln was his tendency to give people too many chances and because he was aware, he was able to compensate for that weakness. For example, George McClellan, Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army, refused to follow directives about the war effort. Lincoln eventually set a deadline and eventually removed McClellan from the position.
Again, we have established that you are not capable of recognizing your own weaknesses; in your mind you are perfect, you have all the answers, and you know best what needs to be done. Therefore you lack the ability to recognize your weaknesses to the detriment and damage of your personal life, the military and to the American citizens. You are completely incapable of seeing that you do not have all the answers, and your unwillingness to admit defeat, well, again Hitler comes to mind here as well.
Ability to Control Emotions:
According to Kearns Goodwin, Lincoln treated those he worked with well. However, at times he did get angry and frustrated. So he found a way to channel those emotions. He was known to sit down and write what he referred to as a “hot letter” to the individual he was angry with and then he would set the letter aside and not send it. If he did lose his temper, Lincoln would follow-up with a kind gesture or letter to let the individual know he was not holding a grudge.
Well, I can assure you that the majority of American’s have witnessed your anger, your sharp, serpent like tongue, and jabs at those you so clearly despise and hate. You make your feelings known right up front. Instead of taking the high road, instead of tempering your emotions, as most great leaders do, you not only hold a grudge, but you actively pursue those you despise and hate; using the NSA, the IRS and any other governmental organization at your disposal. Once again Hitler comes to mind. Isn’t it remarkable the close resemblance and likeness you appear to have with that infamous evil Dictator, merely an observation Mr. President, but if the shoe fits?
Go Out into the Field and Manage Directly:
According to Catherine L. Moreton’s article, during the Civil War, many soldiers died and there were many ups and downs. Lincoln established lasting connections with the troops by visiting the battlefield and hospitals, which also helped bolster morale.
Lincoln also spent time talking with members of the public, taking ‘public opinion baths’ according to Kearns Goodwin. He held public receptions and made a point of shaking everyone’s hand and speaking to each individual.
Well, it would first require you to come off the bloody golf course, and then it would require you to give a damn about someone else’s needs other than your own self-centered, self-absorbed needs, wants and desires. And when you do go out to the people, you do so as a candidate, rather than as the President. I remember when President Reagan wanted something, and felt it was important, he went to the people, explained what it was he wanted, how he felt it would help the country and the people and then asked the people for their help and support. You use the bully pulpit to berate, scold, criticize, and harangue anyone who stands in your way, or who disagrees with your policies. You tell the American people what you feel is best, and what you are going to do, rather than seek opinions or attempt to find a middle ground. You make it quite clear that it is your way or the highway. No give and take, no compromise, just bullying.
No Mr. President, I am quite confident in my assessment, you have nothing in common with Abraham Lincoln. You have nothing in common with any of the great Presidents of this once great nation, because your character is seriously flawed, the only leader you seem to share many character traits, and qualities with, is Hitler; you are both megalomaniacs. You like Hitler suffer from delusions of grandeur, an obsession with grandiose or extravagant things, i.e., flying your dog to Martha’s Vineyard on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft at the taxpayers’ expense. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/10236302/First-dog-Bo-is-airlifted-to-Obama-holiday-home.html
The continual vacations you and the First Lady enjoy at the taxpayers’ expense, the extravagant parties held at the White House at the taxpayer’s expense.
I watched a documentary this morning called, “Vets Roll 2013,” and I cried, I cried because I was so irate, so furious with you, for what you are doing. I have tried to rationalize your behaviour, tried to give you the benefit of the doubt because you had a rough childhood. But then I think of what I use to tell the young offenders I worked with as a Social Worker, Pick a number and get in line. Everyone has a story to tell, everyone has had it rough. And having a rough childhood does not give you licence to behave like an ass, and Mr President, you are behaving like an ASS!
You lack the qualities, and the attributes necessary to be an inspiring great leader. You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting!
When history writes about you, the first Black President, it well record that you were the President who destroyed the greatest Nation on the face of the earth, the only Constitutional Republic; that you forced generations into slavery and servitude to fulfil your own selfish desires. You will be remembered as a dictator, equal only to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.
I listened to the song, “Grandpa Tel Me Bout the Good Old Days,” by the Judd’s this morning and I cried. I cried because I don’t know how I will explain to my grandbabies that America use to be Free; that America use to be seen as the land of opportunity, where one could achieve anything, if they worked hard and persevered. That America use to be the Shining City on the Hill, a beacon of light to others, shinning the light of Freedom and Liberty.
That beacon of light is so dim now that we can no longer see the forest for the trees; we can no longer see the bigger picture and have lost our perspective. I look around at what is happening and I no longer recognize my country. The government is putting barricades around WWII Memorial, a memorial which is privately owned, privately funded, built with private funds and maintained with private funds! Not only have they put these barricades up around the WWII memorial, but they have stationed guards to keep people from visiting this memorial. More guards preventing WWII veterans from visiting the memorial that many fought for, and some died for, more guards have been stationed there, than they had in Benghazi! This is a travesty, a degradation and a disgrace! Never in my lifetime have I witnessed such blatant disrespect and disregard for our Veterans and their sacrifice by a President and his administration.
This President and his criminal administration have crossed the line one too many times. They have the audacity to inflict as much pain as possible on innocent people to make a point, really!? I would expect this behavior from a grade school child throwing a temper tantrum, NOT from adults who have been entrusted by the American people as representatives, to do the “peoples,” work.
Where is the line between right and wrong? It seems that the people we have elected to serve are no longer able to distinguish between right and wrong, or simply do not give a damn any more. They are self-serving, and self-absorbed. Placing their own selfish needs and desires above what is right and best for their constituents and the country.
The moral fiber of this country has disintegrated and morphed into something that now resembles Sodom and Gomorrah. Our President and his tyrannical administration are upping the ante with their current behavior. His Marxist/communist ideology has kicked into overdrive, and he is now shoving the people. By placing this barricade around a privately owned, privately operated and privately funded WWII memorial, the President is sending a very clear message to the American people; Do Not mess with his administration, do not to step on their toes, and do not to overstep the boundaries he has placed for the American people.
For 5 years and 9 months, I have watched while the men and women in Congress have stood by and done nothing, while this tyrant has ignored the Rule of Law, broken his Oath of Office (on numerous occasions), usurped the Constitution, and the Congress, caused the death of 4 Americans in Benghazi, sold arms to the drug cartels in Mexico, and forced his criminally passed legislation, The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) upon the American people while exempting the Congress, the Senate, and the Muslims. This tyrant follows the Constitution when it suites him and ignores the Constitution when it gets in his way. This tyrant plays golf while his criminal foot soldiers in the Senate such as, Harry Reid, George Miller, and Nancy Pelosi resort to name calling. http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/dems-call-gop-jihadists-arsonists-terrorists/#QjDTYZqzSjGVmUmY.01
Where is the America I grew up in, where I was able to erect a Lemon-aide stand and sell lemon-aide to people passing by without first getting g a permit? Where I could ride my bike without being forced to wear a helmet and knee pads? Where I could take a Miracle Whip and Pineapple sandwich to school, and not have my lunch confiscated because the government deemed it unhealthy? Where I could disagree with my government and not fear retribution, like being audited by the IRS! Where I could have a conversation on the telephone, or send an email without fearing that I was being spied on by my government? Where is the America I grew up in, where I was able to pick my own doctor and my own medical insurance plan without being forced to go onto a government led insurance plan, that should I choose to opt out of, penalizes me with up to $4,000 per year, and if I do not pay, a lien will be placed upon my home, and my tax returns confiscated, and I might face “jail!” These are clearly bully tactics, tactics taken straight from Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” and from Cloward and Piven. Instead of putting the needs of the people first and foremost, these tyrannical bullies are name calling and making threats. They offer no viable solutions, but instead have dug their heels in and refuse to budge or give an inch. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-is-the-obamacare-penalty-tax-2012-7
This is NOT the America I grew up in, this America resembles Nazi Germany, where I am being controlled by a tyrannical communist government to do as I am told, or face the consequences. This President does not believe in a Constitutional Republic, he does not value small government, fiscal responsibility, and States rights. He is cut from the very same mold as Hitler, he believes that government has all the answers, and is responsible for taking care of the people from cradle to grave, and that the people own their allegiance to him, the one supreme leader, the all-knowing and all-seeing emperor.
So how do I tell my grandbabies that America was once a Free Nation, a Constitutional Republic, a representative form of government where the individual was “endowed by their creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
I am asking all of you to stand your ground, and not fund Obamacare. I am asking you to stand on principle, to stand in honor for what you know is right and true. I am asking you not give in to these tyrannical bullies and to stand firm. If you give in, and fold on this issue, you will be placing the final death knell in our Constitutional Republic, and the future of not only my grandbabies, but for generations to come. Generations that will never taste the Freedom and Liberty that use to be the Miracle of The United States of America.
The choice is this, either we pass the torch of Freedom onto our children and grandchildren, the freedom intended for us by our Founding Fathers, or we admit that we are the generation without the capacity or the desire for self-government, that we are the generation that put the nail in the coffin of what was the most unique idea in all history of man’s relation to man and we go down the path of totalitarianism.
Today the Senate voted on the Cloture to stop the debate on defunding Obamacare; it passed 79-19. Than Harry Reid had the audacity to come to the floor and begin his usual Tea Party bashing, calling Constitutional Conservatives anarchists who do not respect the rule of law. I find that astounding coming from a man who hasn’t the foggiest notion what respect is, let alone having any knowledge of the Rule of Law whatsoever! Neither he, nor the democrats have shown any evidence of this over the past 5 years and 9 months. Than to add insult to injury, the Senate passed the Continuing Resolution (CR), funding the government thru November 15th and stripping the bill of the Defunding of Obamacare 54-44.
The hypocrisy on Capitol Hill is astonishing, that they would pass a bill that will so clearly hurt the American people. But what do they care, they are exempt from Obamacare. They get to keep their First Class medical insurance, while the rest of us surfs are losing jobs, losing hours, losing our healthcare plans, or our premiums are skyrocketing! The President, the Senate, the congress, the Supreme Court, big corporations who are in Obama’s back pocket and of course the Muslims are all exempt from this train wreck called Obamacare. What a slap in the face. But what is more disgusting to me is that the GOP caved; when push came to shove, they wimped out on the American people. They did not have the cojones to stand up and fight the good fight. They allowed the Progressives to run ram shod over them and over the American people.
I don’t recognize my country anymore, it is as though I have fallen down the rabbit hole and entered the bizarre world of the Mad Hatter! Where everything is upside down and nothing makes any sense at all. The Red Queen (Obama) has taken over everything and much like Alice I feel I must be dreaming! But soon I realize that I must fight my way out of this ghoulish, macabre, twisted dark nightmare back to the daylight where life makes sense and I’m no longer a pawn on a giant chess game. So although we have been hit, and knocked down, the getting back up is up to us. We can either choose to accept defeat or we can prepare for the battle ahead. That battle is the 2014 mid-term elections. That is where we must make our stand, and fight the evil Red Queen, and restore Wonderland to her former glory!
The outcome depends entirely on us and our ability to remain engaged and for some to become engaged in the process. It was John Adams who said: “[America’s] glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is in the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto upon her shield is FREEDOM, INDEPENDENCE, PEACE. This has been her Declaration: this has been, as far as her necessary intercourse with the rest of mankind would permit, her practice.”
We must pick up that shield and carry it proudly, with honor, dignity and grace, as Senator Ted Cruz did so eloquently; when he told the Senate that the problem with Washington is that the elected officials are not listening to the people. When he told them that there is a “sense of despair among the American people because no matter what [we] say, the elected officials won’t listen, because they are more interested in themselves, more interested in getting an exemption for members of Congress and the Senate from Obamacare than they are in fixing the problem for the American people.”
As Ben Franklin said, “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.”
So when “We the People,” embrace that one thought, that our freedom is not a gift from the elected officials in Washington but a right that belongs to us by God and nature, than we will be a force to be reckoned with. The only way Washington will listen is if we rise up, like a Phoenix from the ashes and reclaim our birthright, the right which belongs to us; the right that was bestowed upon us by the laws of God and nature; FREEDOM and LIBERTY!
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Recent news from “The National Report,” states that the President is on the verge or has hand a nervous breakdown.
What is so sad and pathetic here in America is that we can no longer tell or trust what is real and what is blatantly false in terms of what is reported by the Mainstream Media or any left leaning news organization. The National Report is apparently known as a satirical newspaper/ internet news source, but is it really satire? Or could it be a cover up, an ass saving exercise of an incompetent, inept, scandal laden Presidency by a corrupt and fraudulent mainstream media outlet? Who in the hell knows any more whether what we are being told by this unethical, dishonest and corrupt mainstream media is true or not?
For over 5 years we have witnessed individuals like Chris Matthews talk about the tingling in his thighs caused by Obama. We have heard Obama likened to God and the second coming of Christ, and yet, these people, this very same group of so-called journalists, and reporters expect us to believe satire when we see it, really, when for the past 5 years we have been fed a daily diet of Pravda USSA propaganda, which the majority of the American people have viewed as satire. Perhaps this latest information regarding the President having a major meltdown in the White House is nothing more than satire and lies, but honestly who’s to know? The stories that it is merely satire, could very well be more of the same propaganda we receive every day from Obama’s propaganda machine, called the Mainstream Media?
Chris Matthews and his tingle:
Hardball: Evan Thomas of Newsweek: Obama is like God:
Now perhaps some will view my comments here as harsh, I call them honest; a term most journalist and reporters today are not at all familiar with.
The have allowed the jaws of power to entice them. No longer do the mainstream media, the fourth estate speak openly and freely, but rather they are now bought and paid for by the highest bidder. No today, the mainstream media is sleeping with the enemy. They have lost their ability to reason, to be objective and remain neutral. Today, you know exactly where their loyalties lie and on which side their bread is buttered.
What today’s mainstream journalist and reporters are giving us is fluff, it is no longer hard-core, honest truthful journalism, because if they dare speak the truth, if they dare question the powers that be, they are ridiculed, ostracized, shunned and/or fired.
Instead of standing up to these bullies, and their propaganda, the mainstream media and journalists have become one of the biggest bullies, and the most powerful propaganda machine rivalling only that of Pravda.
They have traded in their once honorable credentials and their critical thinking skills for a bit of fame and fortunate, for the ability to hob nob with the elites, the upper crust, the Kings and the King makers. And in so doing, they have turned their backs on the very thing that keeps us free of tyranny, the truth.
It was Samuel Adams who said:
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Okay, so the majority of us should know by now what Common Core is; for those of you still in the dark (Shame on you!), let me bring you up to speed. According to the Common Core, ASCD website it is described in this way:
“The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.”
Now, on the surface this sound harmless and innocent right; it is not until you begin to dig a little deeper that you begin to understand that Common Core is actually a youth indoctrination system, not unlike that used in Nazi Germany to secure the youth of the country for Hitler’s Youth Movement.
The Nazi education system fit in with this, however Hitler wanted to occupy the minds of the young in Germany even more. You see Hitler believed that the future of Nazi Germany was its children. The Hitler Youth was viewed as being as important to a child as school was. Hitler made it very clear what he envisioned and expected from the children:
“The weak must be chiselled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel.” http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/hitler_youth.htm
So where does common core fit into this Hitler Youth Movement. If we look at one of the long-standing goals of the communist party to successfully infiltrate America, number 17 states: “Get Control of the Schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the Party line in textbooks.” http://www.free2pray.info/communism.html
This is precisely what Common Core is doing; it is indoctrinating our children into the progressive/communist ideology and softening the curriculum. Common Core is even rewriting our National History; for example we are all familiar with the recent finding in the McDougal Littell History book “The Americans” where it described both the second and third Amendments to the Constitution like this:
“The Secondand Third Amendments— grant citizens the right to bear arms as members of a militia of citizen-soldiers and prevent the government from housing troops in private homes in peacetime,” the book’s summary reads. In a separate box on the same page it paraphrases the amendment as “the right to bear arms,” not the right to “keep” and bear arms.”
In an effort to do my part to help my fellow-man, I thought I’d share the second and third Amendments with you here, in chronological order so as not to confuse.
Amendment II:A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
*Please take note here that it does NOT refer to the people as being only police officers, or Military personnel, it simply states people that would include all of us, which would also include you as well. Amazing isn’t it. You learn something new every day!
Remember after the Boston Marathon bombing, when the police went from house to house and ordered the people out of their own homes, so that they could look for the bad guys, well according to the passage above, oops a daisy, they were in fact breaking the Law of the Land and infringing upon the unalienable rights of those individuals.
This is just one example of what Common Core is doing to our educational system, as if our public educational system needs any help in lowering it’s already nauseatingly low standards.
Within the Common Core National system there will of course be some mandatory fiction here and there. One of the books sophomores at Buena High School in Sierra Vista, Ariz., will be required to read is a 1992 novel called “Dreaming in Cuban” by Cristina Garcia. Here is a passage from that book:
“Hugo and Felicia stripped in their room, dissolving easily into one another, and made love against the whitewashed walls. Hugo bit Felicia’s breast and left purplish bands of bruises on her upper thighs. He knelt before her in the tub and massaged black Spanish soap between her legs. He entered her repeatedly from behind.”
That steamy passage can be found on page 80 of the book.
Now keep in mind here, that sophomores are 15 and 16-year-old youths. Now, I can tell you that as a grandmother, I would be horrified if any of my grandchildren were made to read such erotica to themselves let alone out loud in a class room environment! Where are the classics such as Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird, or Erich Maria Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front,” or Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms?” Again this is another prime example of Common core dumbing down our society, further than it already is. One only need look to the Mainstream Media, or Hollywood to see the results of what the communist/progressives in this country have already accomplished within the last 30 years!
But what disturbs me the most, is the fact that parents are being arrested for asking questions at a Town Hall Meeting about Common Core. Watch the video here:
I was shocked when I watched this video, not one of the other 30 parents at that Town Hall meeting, stood up and defended this father, NOT one! They stood by and watched this father be manhandled by this security guard, forcibly removed from the meeting for going off script. According to Fox News, parents were instructed to write their questions on a note card, and pass them forward, and then the individuals hosting the forum would cherry pick which questions to answer. Well this father was having none of that, and asked his question without following the procedures. Oh well, excuse the hell out of me, I thought this was America, where we are free to ask questions without fear of being arrested!
Why didn’t anyone stand up to this security guard? What in the hell is wrong with people? Have we just decided to throw in the towel, and allow these bullies to wipe their boots upon us?
I am so ashamed of my country and of these fellow countrymen and women. Shame on them for sitting by and watching this and doing nothing! What if that had been their husband, their mother, their daughter, their best friend, would they have sat there and watched and done nothing? Who are we becoming America? Have the progressives/communist won? Have they succeeded in their final goal? Are we just going to sit down, shut up and watch them usher in the 4th Reich?
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last,”
On his radio show Glenn Beck asked a very good question, which we’ll get to in a moment. For the past five years and 9 months now, we have watched as the President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama has usurped the Congress, ignored the Rule of Law and the Constitution, broken his oath of office on numerous occasions, armed our enemies, and caused the death of 4 American’s in Benghazi with no answers in sight. So, the question is this “where is our Red Line America?” Where is our “Line in the Sand; saying this far and no further?”
It is extremely apparent to me that after five years the man in the White House is obviously out to destroy the Constitution and the Republic. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can figure this out. What I find so scandalous is that no one seems to be doing anything about it?
Now, I see this as a back covering exercise because Obama’s administration is providing arms to Al-Qaeda, yes; our President is providing our enemies with arms. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall a section in the Constitution which goes something like this:
Section III. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
With this one move, waiving the law which forbids the United States from providing “aid and comfort,” to the enemy, Obama has committed Treason. One does not have to be a rocket scientist, nor does one require a PhD to figure this out. It is unmistakably stated in the passage above from Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America. So when is enough, enough? What else does this man have to do before we draw that “Red Line, before we say that’s it, no more? Before we hold this man and his criminal cronies on Capitol Hill accountable? When does our Military send the Marines in to arrest them all?
Every move Obama makes is calculated, considered and premeditated. His plan is quite simple, destroy the Constitution, and thereby completely destroy the Republic. For five years we have watched him chip away at the Constitution, making it clear just how annoying and bothersome this document is to him. It stands between him and his definitive goal, to usher in the 4th Reich, the New World Order. For this to happen he must disarm us, and for that to happen, he must first destroy the Constitution. So with each stroke of his pen, with each new Executive Order, with every Fiat he is one step closer, while America watches and does nothing. We all sit in our living rooms, shouting at our televisions, sit at our kitchen tables asking the same questions, “where is Congress, where is the Senate and why won’t they do something?” The answer, because they are in on the plan; a plan that has been in productions for decades, and is now coming to fruition. There are many arms to this plan, like a giant octopus its tentacles reach far and wide, from the urban sustainable development projects of Agenda 21 now known as “Future Earth,” to local projects such as the Seven/50 project in Florida, to indoctrinating our youth with the new National educational standards of Common Core.
For those of you still unfamiliar with what Agenda 21 is about (and honestly it just boggles the mind to think there are still folks out there in the dark), allow me to bring you up to speed. Agenda 21 is described in the “U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs; Division for Sustainable Development,” thus:
“Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more the 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.” http://www.un.org/geninfo/bp/envirp2.html
It would be a very smart thing to do, to make yourself familiar with this document as soon as possible so that you, at the very least have some idea what your government is imposing upon your life. Just a friendly suggestion from one fellow Citizen of Olympus to another! Agenda 21 is another form of control over the population; they will herd us like cattle into a centralized location where we will have less impact upon mother earth; it means that land use and resource policies will be implemented to reduce your “carbon footprint,” on the earth.
We have Senators voting to give away our 2nd Amendment Rights to the UN, with Senate Bill 139 which was presented to prevent such action, 46 Senators voted “nay,” in effect putting their stamp of approval on giving our Constitutional 2nd Amendments rights to the United Nations. An interesting note here, is that every Senator who voted “nay,” to Senate Bill 139, is a Democrat. http://www.westernjournalism.com/46-99-u-s-senators-vote-give-constitutional-rights-un/
Than we have Senator Diane Feinstein who has presented an amendment to the Media Shield Law, which is effectively ignoring the protection afforded by the First Amendment, limiting the law’s protection to only individuals who are deemed “real reporters,” and hold journalistic credentials. Bloggers such as myself and many others would lose that protection.
Governments are now ruled by an Oligarchy of Corporate elites, through the manipulation of a formal democracy (look our Republic is on life-support, we have not had a true Republic in this country for decades!). These corporate elites control the media across the globe, either through ownership or within their budgets; they control the politicians who are elected through campaign finance, which we all saw quite clearly with the re-election of an inept, incompetent, criminal maladroit, Obama. These politicians are then placed in that seat of power, around the world and including here in the US. Our government is an illusion, an illusion created for us by the Corporatocarcy where they keep us fighting among ourselves over “red and blue” issues while they sit in their ivory towers behind closed doors making decisions about our daily lives.
Our President, and many of our elected officials within both parties are committing Treason, by arming our enemies, by voting to give our 2nd Amendment rights to the United Nations, by selecting who and who will not be afforded their First Amendment Rights, by having the NSA spy on us, and by having the IRS target conservative individuals and groups. These are but a few examples of this Presidents’ and his criminal cronies’ treasonous actions and behaviour.
So where exactly is our “Red Line, our Line in the Sand; that breaking point where we put our foot down firmly and say, No, you can push us no further!? Or do we remain silent, and like sheep be led quietly to the slaughter?
The movie WAG The DOG is about a spin-doctor and a Hollywood producer who join efforts to fabricate a war, in order to cover up a presidential sex scandal.
Consider for a moment President Obama’s Like O’meter in the country, and indeed around the world. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is “I Can’t stand the man, he is a total degradation to the office of the Presidency” and 10 being, “I adore the man, he walks on Water and is the second coming of Christ.” Obama’s reading is coming in around -10 for the majority of the country (those individuals who do NOT drink the Kool-Aid), and around 4 for his once faithful followers. It remains 10 for the Progressives/communists; as they are merely inches away from gaining their wildest dream and fantasy, the total destruction of The United States of America and are willing to do anything necessary to assure victory.
To most of you I may sound like a Conspiracy Theorist or a complete loon. But bear with me for a moment. Since December 2010, when the first scandal, Fast and Furious exploded onto the scene, where a federal operation dubbed Fast and Furious allowing weapons from the U.S. to pass into the hands of gun smugglers, in hope of being traced back to the upper echelons of the Mexican drug Cartels. The ATF which ran the operation lost track of these firearms, which resulted in the fatal shooting of a Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry in December of 2010. Then Benghazi on September 11th 2012, where four American’s including Ambassador Stevens were brutally murdered, by Al-Qaeda backed rebels; and while two ex-Navy SEALS fought for 7 horrible hours against fearful odds, waiting for relief that was ordered not to go (Obama refused the CBA) by the President, who then went back to bed so he was well rested to attend a Vegas fund-raiser the following day. Now throw into this already fire storm of scandals, the NSA spying, prosecution of whistleblowers, wiretapping of journalists, the torture program as well as the Benghazi cover-up and Fast and Furious, and you have a presidency severely crippled if not about to crumble.
We know his strong ties with the Hollywood elite, the movers and shakers of Corporate America, and the Muslim Brotherhood. So how does a man, with a history of pathological lying, passing the buck, and who places the blame on other people and situations rather than accept full responsibility for his own mistakes, get out from under this collapsing presidency? Wag The Dog! Yes, let us manufacture, let us engineer an international crisis, one in which Obama can appear as the savior, one in which Obama can come out smelling like roses, the international leader who with reason, considered thoughtfulness and delicacy was able to divert the beginning of a World War! Oh, how diabolical, oh how deliciously fiendish! I know, you think I’ve lost the plot, I’m completely crackers. Okay, so let’s presume for a moment shall we, that I have completely lost the plot and I am indeed crackers. You cannot tell me, that with hand on heart, you did not think OMG, this could be possible. Can you say with all honesty that you have not thought about this yourself, that this man is capable of just about anything?
Some believe that he is far too stupid to pull anything as elaborate as this off, but I beg to differ, I do not for one moment believe that Obama is a stupid man; foolish, imprudent, narcissistic, self-absorbed, pompous, arrogant, come to mind, but not stupid. Remember Obama went to bed, to rest up for his Vegas Fund raising trip and to hob nob with the Hollywood elite, while 4 Americans fought for their lives in Benghazi! As such, I believe this man to be capable of just about anything.
So let’s say he did not devise, a Wag The Dog situation to make himself look the hero (even if within his own mind), what does it say about our country, that the majority of us are sitting out here in our kitchens, in our living rooms, our bedrooms, on our decks discussing with family and friends the very real possibility of our President and our government to construct a Wag The Dog situation?
So, just how far-fetched is the possibility? I ask you to simply consider the evidence before you, to connect the dots, and see where they lead you. In the meantime enjoy the show.
I have remained very silent about Syria, and what is happening. First because I am trying to listen to all sides and come to a reasonable and informed decision about this God awful mess. However, as each day passes I find myself becoming more and more angry at my government and elected officials whom I have entrusted my most sacred and valuable treasures on earth, the lives and futures of my children and my grandchildren.
While they sit in their ivory towers, arguing whether or not it is reasonable to send our troops into the depths of hell, using as their excuse, the use of chemical weapons which we know were used in 2012 and Obama did nothing. So trust me my friend, it is an excuse, there is NOTHING reasonable being discussed behind those closed doors, other than Obama’s ability to “Save Face,” with the international community, and to give the Syrian Rebels (Radical Islamists) and the Muslim Brotherhood the ability to gain a stronger foot hold in the country.
There is nothing altruistic here; there is no care or concern for the “poor little children,” which Obama continually harangues about. There is no concern here for the innocent Christian men women and children, who are being murdered and chased from their homes and indeed their country on a daily basis by these radical Islamists, Habhat Al-Nusra and other radical Muslims groups. WND reports that “The Free Syrian Army, is also known to be funded by the Saudi Arabian government and has several offices in Washington D.C. for the purpose of lobbying support from American politicians.” What in the hell is going on here? http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/syrians-warn-west-about-dangerous-allies/
Who are we, who have we become; are we as a country, as a people, really funding and backing the very individuals responsible for the tragic strike on 9/11/2001!? Have we completely lost our principles, our values and our morals that we are now standing behind and supporting the very people who after killing an enemy, cut the heart from their chest, eat it and then upload the video onto YouTube for the entire world to see!? Are we so lost, and have we descended so low, that we are supplying weapons and ammunition to the very individuals who attacked our CIA Annex and brutally murdered Ambassador Stevens and three other fine, decent Americans!?
Have we lost all sense of right and wrong, that we cannot see the truth when it is staring us in the face, screaming open your eyes, see the signs! That we ignore the Harbingers, the warnings so clearly placed before us?
There is no concern here for the innocents who are trapped with no way out, their voices drowned out by a thousand other’s screaming “Allah Akbar,” as they murder innocent Christian men, and then take the Christian women for themselves, raping them and then forcing them into lives of slavery and servitude; as they scream “Allah Akbar,” putting their hands on cars, that car is now theirs! These Syrian rebels we are supporting have brought fatwa to the country, and with this, they are able to marry 3-year-old girls, 6-year-old girls, and 9-year-old girls? A woman interviewed by WND, asked; “What kind of people you are supporting?” She goes on to say: “Those people are the destroyers of humanity; they are against the rights of women. So how can you as a free country support the people who are killing women, who are killing half of the society and innocent children?”http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/syrians-warn-west-about-dangerous-allies/
Who are we; that we would pay homage to these people; that we would offer any support whatsoever to these people? Where is our humanity? I hear the argument that we cannot allow these people to use chemical weapons against innocent women and children, but where was Obama when chemical weapons were used against the Syrian people in 2012? Where was the president then? There is documented evidence of Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons against his people on 15 separate occasions since 2012, and yet, now all of a sudden, it is not acceptable? Pray tell, what makes this gas attack worse than the 15 previous attacks used on innocent men, women and yes children? Are we really going to use the argument that the proof of these previous gas attacks were not as overwhelming as the gas-attack of July 2013! Seriously, this is what will make a strike on Syria okay this is what we will use to justify our actions; to justify opening the gates of hell on the world! http://nypost.com/2013/08/30/assad-gassed-syria-15-times-since-2012-us-weighing-strike-options/
What makes the gas attacks worse than chopping off the heads of Christians? What makes a gas attack worse than burning them alive? What makes gas attacks worse than the genital mutilation of innocent women and children? What makes gas attacks worse than lining up people and shooting them in the head? What makes gas attack worse than stripping women naked and hanging them on a cross because they are Coptic Christians? Tell me, please help me to understand what makes any form of murder and torture worse than another? Please help me understand, because from my living room couch, it all looks the same to me, murder of innocent men, women and children looks the same to me no matter what damn method is used!!
This has nothing to do with the use of chemical weapons, nothing! This has everything to do with power, and political gain and footing in the region. This has everything to do with our presidents extremely strong connections and ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Arab Nations, who is more than happy to Bear the cost of a Military strike in Syria! According to MSN News; “Arab nations have offered to help pay for any US military intervention in Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry told lawmakers Wednesday as he sought support for missiles strikes. ‘With respect to Arab countries offering to bear the cost and to assist, the answer is profoundly yes, they have. That offer is on the table,’ Kerry said as he appeared before a House of Representatives panel.” http://arabia.msn.com/news/world/2063418/arab-nations-offered-to-pay-for-syria-strike-kerry/
Innocent people are dying on a daily basis in Syria, and more will die, if America goes forward with this military strike. Already, Russia is lining up warships in the east Mediterranean; according to Reuters, “President Vladimir Putin has said the naval presence is needed to protect national security interests and is not a threat to any nation.” However Putin has made it quite clear that he will retaliate if necessary. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/29/us-syria-crisis-russia-navy-idUSBRE97S0AK20130829
According to Breitbart’s Wynton Hall; “A Thursday State Department alert warned against traveling to Iraq, citing terrorist activity “at levels unseen since 2008.” He goes on to report that , “on Friday, the U.S. State Department ordered nonessential U.S. diplomats to evacuate Lebanon over concerns of a possible attack by Hezbollah on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. U.S. citizens in Lebanon have also been urged to get out. U.S. diplomats in Adana, Turkey have also been pulled out.” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/09/06/Iran-Orders-Revenge-Attack-On-U-S-Embassy-In-Iraq
If this is not bad enough, if this is not enough to make one take pause, step back and give serious thought and very careful consideration to their decision to send a military strike on Syria, than perhaps Iran’s most recent threat, coming from the former governor of southern Iran’s Kish province, Aliresa Forghani, who threw down the gauntlet last week with he stated: “Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the … loss of US interests [through terrorist attacks],” he threatened. “In just 21 hours [after the attack on Syria], a family member of every US minister [department secretary], US ambassadors, US military commanders around the world will be abducted. And then 18 hours later, videos of their amputation will be spread [around the world].”
For those of you too young to remember, a similar situation took place in 1984, with CIA station Chief William Buckley was abducted in Beirut and later killed by Hezbollah on Iran’s order. A video tape was dropped off at the U.S. Embassy in Athens to which former CIA Director William Casey described what he saw in the video as; “They had done more than ruin his body, His eyes made it clear his mind had been played with. It was horrific, medieval and barbarous.” http://www.catholic.org/international/international_story.php?id=52300
These threats have not given the U.S. the caveat, of we will only retaliate if you put boots on the ground, or we will only retaliate if the strike lasts longer than so many hours or so many days. No, these threats have made it quite clear, “any strike” on Syria will be met with severe consequences and loss of many, many innocent lives!
This Syrian Crisis makes the Bay of Pigs look like a pic nick in the park, a cake walk. President Obama is willing to open the gates of hell on humanity, for what, to save his pride, to save face, with the international community which already looks upon him as a weak and feckless leader. Where is the man who campaigned on bringing our troops home? Where is the so-called reasonable, measured, man? In five years I have yet to see such a man. Well the Nobel Peace Prize winner, actually pull the trigger and launch the world into WWIII?
As a Catholic, I cannot separate myself from my religious beliefs, for it makes up the fabric of who I am as a person. Pope Francis urged the Group of 20 leaders on Thursday to abandon the “futile pursuit” of military action in Syria, and laid out the Vatican’s case for negotiated settlement that would guarantee rights for all Syrians, including minority Christians. Pope Francis is hosting a peace vigil in St. Peter’s Square today, in hopes his message of peace will be heard throughout the world. It is the first time any such peace rally has been held at the Vatican. Holy See officials have stressed that the vigil is a religious event not a political protest. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/05/pope-francis-syria_n_3872435.html
So today I will pray that my President rethinks his stance on the use of military force on Syria. That he will step back and think about the far-reaching implications, and consequences of his actions. That for once, he will think about someone other than himself and his own wants needs and desires. And if my President cannot step up to the plate, and use caution and carefulness in this present crisis, I pray that Congress will have the courage to stand up to Obama and tell him NO, we will not sanction another military strike that will lead us and indeed the world to the Gates of Hell!
Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
What can I say about my brother Geoff, affectionately known as Geoffey, Sefford (mom’s nick name for him) and “Boy.” When he was little, and mom was irritated with him she would holler, “Boy, get over here!” Well my younger sister Erica, who was just a toddler at the time, thought that was his name, and so she referred to him as “Boy,” and the ongoing family joke ever since has been, that he answered to it! Geoff is a typical younger brother, as children he bugged the hell out of his three sisters and to be honest still does from time to time. But Geoff has an amazing sense of humor and can have you in stitches telling you stories of his youth, and experiences growing up in the Suiter’s Clan. He is the life of any party always drawing a crowd wherever he goes and can be generous to a fault. It’s a family trait, as growing up, we did not bring home stray animals as most kids did, we brought home stray kids; friends whose parents had kicked them out of the house, were brought into the “Suiter’s Clan,” and made honorary members of the clan.
How many times have you read the above passage in the Bible and thought to yourself, “Who would do such a thing?” Who would lay down their life for a friend? Yes, we know that our Military Services men and women do this every day on the front lines; they lay down their lives for their compatriots and to keep us safe in our beds, and for that we are forever grateful. But how many of us would honestly sacrifice our lives for a friend in need? How many of us would be willing to go under the knife and literally give a piece of ourselves to a friend?
Well, this is precisely what my younger brother did for his friend, Dr. Greg Sarka. On Tuesday September 3rd, my brother William Geoffrey Suiters (sometimes referred to as “W,” by his good friends) underwent surgery to donate his left kidney to his long-time friend Greg, who has been battling Kidney disease for years.
A bit of background information on the “Geoff and Greg story,” behind the kidney donation, provided graciously by my sister-in-law Jennifer Suiters:
In 1998, Greg, Sue and RJ Sarka (their son who was a toddler at the time) moved from California to Pittsburgh so Greg could pursue his MD in Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. Greg, Sue and RJ settled on a nice colonel house next to Geoff and Jen’s in the friendly East Pittsburgh suburb of Blackridge. It was not long before Geoff and Greg became good friends.
Their friendship began as fierce lawn competitors, each trying to outdo the other with a better yard, the typical new neighbor fun! Geoff and Greg frequently compared notes on the tools of their trades, the dental drill vs. the carpentry drill, noting they were not that different, dentist and carpenter, and they became good friends.
The Sarka’s second child, Madison, was born a few years later and as the years went by Geoff and Jen continued to enjoy the entire Sarka family, spending many evenings at the Sarka’s back deck enjoying barbecuing, family holidays and life as 30 and 40 something’s.
All during his life, unfortunately Greg has been carrying a genetic disorder which eventually has caused kidney failure and he has been on dialysis, a process which requires a complete filtration of your entire blood supply several times a week. Due to the genetic disorder, siblings and other relatives were ruled out, but Geoff had the gift of life; O positive blood, and an excellent health record.
Eight years earlier, before Greg and his family moved to Portland Main, Geoff and Jen found out about the debilitating disease Greg was enduring, Geoff made a promise at time that he would donate his kidney to Greg.
When my brother telephoned to tell me his news, I was speechless; I mean really what do you say to that? “Oh well done, or Congratulations?” I mean it’s not like he called to tell me he got a new job, or that he won the lotto! No my brother was calling to inform me that he would be undergoing major surgery for 8 hours to donate his left kidney to a friend; a surgery which is considerably more challenging and life threatening to the donor than to the recipient. These are they kind of stories you read about in books or in the paper, but you never expect that you will be so close to something so wonderful, so moving and so selfless. Transplant surgery is a miracle; it saves someone else’s life, that is astonishingly wonderful and remarkable and that is what my little brother has done! He has selflessly given of himself to save the life of a friend.
I told my brother how very proud I am of him for what he is doing and what a blessing he is for Greg and his family, to make such a selfless gesture, what a hero, he was to me.
However, my brother does not see it that way. He sees his friend Greg as the real hero; a man who has accomplished so much, all while battling such a devastating disease. Never complaining, never giving up or giving in. Never immersed in self-pity or defeatism, Greg soldiered on reaching for and accomplishing his dreams. To my brother, his friend is the champion in this story he is merely helping out a good friend. He told me he “could not live with himself knowing he had the ability to help and did nothing,” so Geoff, in his quiet stoic way, underwent all the necessary tests to see if he was a good candidate. Because with Kidney donations, it is not as much about being a perfect genetic match as it is about being in good physical health. Had Geoff passed even one kidney stone; that would have been a deal breaker, and prevented my brother from being a viable donor. God works in mysterious ways, and has divine plans for us all. He brought these two men together 15 years ago, and on Tuesday, my brother gave the gift of life to his friend Greg.
To me, my brother is a Hero, a man of honor and dignity; with a heart of gold, a man I admire and look up to with pride and love. I love ya Geoffy!
Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. (Deuteronomy 15:10)
Editor’s NOTE:Both Geoff and Greg came though the surgery fine, and the kidney my brother donated, is already functioning in Greg! Praise God!

Have you ever had the feeling that everything is upside down, that nothing makes any sense any more. That you have stepped into the Twilight Zone?
Please know that I am not giving up on my writing, I just need to take some time away from it, to regroup, and regain perspective and allow my body to heal. When I am able to find my voice again and express myself again without feeling so sick all the time, I will be back. For now, I need to find some happiness, joy and peace in my life and allow my mind and body time to heal.
