The Obama Legacy - SCANDALS

There is so much to say about the Obama administration scandals that it makes your head spin.

The Obama administration is rocked repeatedly by scandal after scandal. They have continued to deny or refuse to admit the validity of these issues or deny any responsibility.

Democrats are getting nervous and fleeing what they believe to be a sinking ship.
When a two time Obama voter comes forward as whistle-blowers to testify about Benghazi - you have to KNOW that something is desperately wrong within the Obama administration. I can imagine that it was very difficult for a career diplomat and dedicated Democrat who voted twice for Obama to come forward and testify at the Benghazi hearings. It took courage. It takes a sincere desire for truth and justice to go against everything you believed previously and stand up for what's right.

Some democrats may never admit that President Obama has any culpability in regard to all these scandals but how can he not ? It is imperative that congress take disciplinary action immediately with full public accountability.

I realize President Obama has his own agenda, goals, purposes and desires. However no one is sure of his qualifications.

But that is NOT the purpose for which he was elected to congress. Regardless of the party he ran on his job is to represent ALL the people and He can not be seen to tolerate harassment or abuse of power towards anyone but particularly not the opposing party. For Obama to ignore these scandals and refuse to admit culpability of he or his staff reeks of partisanship, politics, and corruption.

 Obama must realize that we do not want a King, we do not want a dictator and no Sir, we will NOT tolerate tyranny.

Forcing your agenda on us by intimidation, fraud, abuse of power, discrimination, and harassment has only served to anger the American public. Obama has yet to learn that you can not force your will on people - physically or mentally. You are not allowed to use government agencies to harass, persecute, or intimidate those who oppose you or your agenda.

Benjamin Franklin said

“A Man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” 
 

President Obama has yet to learn this lesson.

 Forcing one's will on other's always results in resentment which leads to anger and angry people will eventually find one another and work together to solve the problem causing their anger.

 President Obama's administration and it bungling of the Benghazi issue is one case in point.

There are many questions which the Obama administration has failed to answer. 

We beg our congress to take oversight of these issues in the most serious and determined manner immediately and to prosecute all responsible to the fullest extent of the law. 

 

Benghazi 2012 - 2013

A commentary and open letter to the Obama administration.


Finally, the major media is playing up the shocking truths about President Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi cover up. Yes, I said cover up and now even major media is acknowledging that there has been a coverup .What they are not admitting is they aided in this cover up . When I say 'shocking' I mean shocking to those who watch news sources like ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN who did minimal if any coverage when this event actually transpired. Fox News has covered Benghazi from the word go. I can't praise Fox News enough for their determined effort to seek out the truth - and share it with the American public.

I must give Kudo's to Fox News as they have had very good coverage from the beginning  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/cia-operators-were-denied-request-for-help-during-benghazi-attack-sources-say/ and please note the date it was posted as of October 26, 2012. Yes, before the elections.






So this news is not 'new' its just been swept under the rug, denied by the Obama administration and the public has indeed been fed spoon after spoon of lies by the Obama administration.

This is not a mistake in coverage - let there be no doubt in your mind there was a purpose in why the questions have been ignored over and over by the Obama administration and major news media other than FOX NEWS.

News coverage from around the world is now focusing on Benghazi but why did it take so long ? http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-ops-halted-from-responding-to-benghazi-attacks-us-diplomat-says/2013/05/06/c3f311d4-b677-11e2-aa9e-a02b765ff0ea_story.html

Without controversy - there is no doubt the United States FBI, and the CIA can and do excellent investigative work. That is, when they have a administration that ALLOWS them to do their job properly. But what if talking points are altered, questions are ignored, witnesses are muzzled?



Even the Huffington Post which leans so far left they are endangered of falling over is now featuring news of Benghazi whistle blowers http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/benghazi . One has to wonder what the 'golden boy' , yes Mr. President Obama has done, or not done to warrant this pull back of protection that he had covering him - by major media.

For the past four plus years anything negative that was done by this administration was denied and ignored by major media news commentators. Traditional & Christian values have been attacked, mocked and ridiculed relentlessly by these same news sources as to belittle or disparage those who questioned about these attacks on our embassy personnel and even Hillary Clinton was quoted to speak as though exasperated by the continued interest in Benghazi.

Yes, Hillary, the American people are tired of being treated as the proverbial mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed B*llSh*t).

What do we want? Very simple. We want the pure unadulterated truth. We want a accurate timeline and chain of command. We want to know exactly who knew what and when and ultimately who was responsible for the denial of assistance that was requested by our personnel who were station in Libya. We also want to know which officers where removed from their command related to the Benghazi terror attacks and their unwillingness to 'stand down' when commanded to do so.

We want to know who's bright idea it was to abandon our people and let them die.

And we want you to pay. We want everyone of you who were involved in a responsible role to charged and brought before a investigative committee with special prosecution. That the evidence and the witnesses not be hindered in being presented to the American public and our elected officials.
You could say that what we want is JUSTICE.

Any reader doesn't understand what Benghazi is about please review some the links I have shared below. You'll have a fairly good idea if you peruse the following - but bear in mind that the Huffington Posts own poll has shown that Fox News is America's most trusted source of news.

http://news.yahoo.com/big-deal-benghazi-testimony-203600919.html

 This I think will put a nail in the coffin of Hillary's 2016 presidential hopes.
CBS reports as follows;

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57583149/issa-no-question-clintons-circle-involved-in-benghazi-cover-up/

And ABC now reports  http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/diplomat-us-team-stopped-benghazi-19120454

And even in Chicago President Obama's home town http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/intl/libya/benghazi-PLGEO0000008201652.topic

Yes Mr. President - The American people do care about how you conduct yourself when you represent this nation. We do care about honesty and we do care about the lives of those who volunteer their services to this great nation.

IF you do not feel the same then you should not be in the office of the President. You should have never ran for a second term but you did. You can't blame Benghazi on President Bush, this tragedy, this tragic fiasco of your administration will go down in your legacy as president as the worse cover up in history of the U.S. ( and certainly the worst in my lifetime).

We as a nation actually owe the Nixon administration and all those who lost their jobs because of Watergate a huge apology if we do not demand you and your administration be prosecuted to the maximum allowed by law.


Benghazi was not a bump in the road.

The deaths of those that day were not a bump in the road.

In comparison Mr. President, Watergate was a bump in the road.

This Sir is an unspeakable horror that those under your command were abandoned by their Commander in Chief, by their Secretary of State.  http://thehill.com/homenews/house/298093-whistle-blower-special-forces-could-have-saved-americans-in-benghazi

CS Monitor on Benghazi
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Military/2012/1027/Benghazi-attack-Urgent-call-for-military-help-was-denied-by-chain-of-command

Remember Mr. President - we have laws to protect whistle blowers. It does not speak well for you that there have been statements by the same that they were forbidden to speak out and threatened. Americans do not accept tactics of intimidation very well and now the truth comes out.

I venture to say it is my sincere belief if the major media had covered the Obama administrations handling of Benghazi and the truth had been known about what the Obama administration was actually doing in Libya Mr. Obama would not have been re-elected as President.

World NEWS (NBC) is finally covering Benghazi http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/benghazi

From Breitbart  on CBS and Obama http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/10/25/CBS-Busts-Obama--and-Itself-Hidden-60-Minutes-Clip-Proves-White-House-Lied-About-Benghazi

There's a old saying - Where there is smoke there is fire. Well Mr. President - your house is on fire - and we're choking on the smoke.
 In closing - THANK YOU FOX NEWS CHIEF for putting a muzzle on Geraldo.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/06/fox-news-chief-ordered-geraldo-riveras-mic-cut-for-defending-obama-on-benghazi-report/

It is a insult to the families of the deceased and injured and the American public that anyone should defend the Obama Administration Benghazi cover up. Thank you Fox News Chief for having integrity.
God bless.

Shariah Law, The U.S. Constitution & Faith

I try to be considerate of other peoples beliefs, realizing that I don't have the 'corner on the market' of wisdom or truth. Every man's ways are right in his own eyes.
Knowing that, I proceed with caution.


On the subject of Shariah Law, and particularly as it relates to women, children, and those who do not wish to be or, are not Islamic; I would say that the establishment of Shariah Law in any civil court or any country as legal binding and punishable for not obeying is not only not a good idea, but does in fact deprive other citizens of the right to live their lives and practice their religious beliefs as they choose.

Having said all that, I would add that in the United States Of America the establishing of Shariah Law in any state, city, county, or in federal courts is a violation of the constitution of the United States Of America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

Specifically the First amendment The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances."

In the USA we are accustomed to attacks on public symbols of Christianity (which was the religion of the majority of our founding father's). But the politically correct police engage in fear-mongering toward anyone who speaks against any other religion (other than Christianity or Judaism) to the point that people fear of being accused of a hate crime or racism if they speak out the truth.


That truth being that the first amendment was not written and added to the constitution to prevent people in the USA from practicing public religion but to prevent the government being used to establish or force compliance with any one state approved religion or religions.

Therefore Shariah Law which is a prosecution and punishment 'arm' of the Islamic Faith, would be a violation of our first amendment rights.

This branch of Islam which promotes or requires compliance through Shariah Law is not a tolerant religion. They do not accept the right of people to choose a religion other than Islam. They do not accept the right of a person to decide for themselves on how they would dress in public. They do not accept the right of any adult human being to decide on their own if they would like to drink a alcoholic drink. They do not allow a person to decide for themselves if they will use birth control, and those whose interest in or participation in the 'gay lifestyle' should be particularly concerned as the punishment in Shariah Law for unrepentant and not ceasing homosexuality is death.

As a Christian, in religious views I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle but I realize that God has given us all the freedom of choice to obey His word, or not and that I am not the one who will be anyone's judge on moral issues.

I am not throwing any stones, trust me.

But I do think it would be a grievous mistake with possible tragic results if the U.S.A, it's states, cities, districts and counties were to approve or in-act Shariah Law as a legal binding judicial arm in the USA capable of enforcing and decreeing punishment for not obeying the religious laws of Islam.

When you force other people to submit to the religious laws of any one religion or risk punishment including fines, beatings, mutilation and  or death I would say that there is no way a person can read the first amendment and NOT agree that establishing Shariah law in the USA would be a violation of every Americans constitutional rights.

Not only a violation of constitutional rights but of their HUMAN rights as well.

One only has to take a look on YouTube to see countless cases of people being harassed and bullied because of the way that they dress, or the lifestyle they live by those who believe it is their duty to enforce 'Shariah' law in other communities world wide.  Women whose testimonial value in court is only half of that of a man under Shariah Law. Seriously we have this mob mentality in 2013 where women are being abused, beaten, ostracized because a family member reports them for a violation of Shariah Law? Are we blind to what this would mean to the whole United States? The way you dress as you walk down the street passing by a mosque could suddenly get you attacked / bullied because someone deems your appearance as disrespectful or a violation of their religious beliefs.

Watch the videos and see for yourself. A picture is worth a thousand words.
This is not inflammatory - this is factual.

2 April 2013 2013 BREAKING NEWS - UK Sharia Law Muslim Patrol - End Time

 

 AND there's more... all you need do is go to YouTube and type in Shariah Law 2013 and you will see the most recent videos of these incidents as they were video taped.

 

 

I think a person's relationship with God is between that person and God and the religious organizations and the government are out of their proper place when they start punishing people on basis of religious compliance or  respect. 

 IF Islamist (or any religious peoples) want to worship in their own way that is between them and God but they should not be forcing their views on anyone else or punishing others for not believing the same as they do which then violates that human beings 'human rights.

Self Expression

In America we prize individuals who are entrepreneurs, risk takers, pioneers. We value ethic's, morality, compassion, and individualism. We love to express ourselves in words, art, and in our music. We believe in the right for every person to worship God in their own way, or not. That is between God and you.

Our government is prohibited from making a law forcing the people to believe in, follow or act upon the teachings of any one religion. It is forbidden by law to make any law to establish one religion that would be a 'state' religion and preferred over any other. We believe every man woman and child has the GOD given right to choose for themselves. These right's are restricted only when it infringes upon the right of someone else to live, breath, worship, or express themselves.   This is called a civilization.

Civilized people respect each other's idea's. They may not agree, but they agree to disagree. Barbaric people do not. Barbarians in history believed in force. They believed in killing other's who did not agree with them, or who did not obey them. While I respect my fellow citizens rights to self expression - you must limit yourself expression if that would injure, harm, or infringe upon someone else. Killing someone because they dont agree with, like or believe in your religion or vision of God is barbaric.

God doesn't need you to kill for Him. That's ridiculous. The whole idea of God being a supernatural, all powerful 'Being' - indicates He has more power than we do and would clearly not need your or my help in disciplining anyone who didn't believe  in Him or who insulted Him. To say you are killing someone for your God, or because they insulted your God, or your religion means that you really do not believe He is strong enough or all powerful enough to rule the universe - and take care of those things all by himself.

Making a law, that says you have the right to arrest, seize, punish or kill someone on the basis of them insulting you or your religion or your God just shows how pathetically weak and unGodly you think your God is.

My God can take care of Himself. He doesn't need me to go around killing people who insult Him. He's bigger than that. God believes in 'free will'. Allowing people to choose to live for Him, or not. He doesnt force us - and you should not try to force someone to believe your way. Respecting each other is essential in self expression. Worship God your way, but if you think you have to harm someone to worship God then that isn't Gods voice that you are following.

Self expression in America takes many forms and some forms are offensive to many people. That's why we as a whole vote, elect, and meet together to agree on rules of conduct which become the laws of our civilization.

Sometimes people come to the USA thinking they can force their views upon other Americans. They don't want you to speak against what they believe. They want to dictate to you what you can say or not say when it is in reference to something they like or believe. Dictate is the key word, dictators dictate.

Don't allow the U.S.A. to become ruled by dictators.

Bible Basics

 The Holy Scriptures commonly referred to as 'The Bible' are the written records (letters) recorded by the apostles and various prophets of the word, the deeds of the people, and Gods plan for them.

The Bible is divided into two major sections named 'Old Testament' & 'New Testament'.  The old testament was in effect up until the death of Jesus Christ. Once Jesus was crucified, The 'New Testament' went into effect at the time of Jesus's death.

Heb_9:16  (For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.
Heb_9:17  For a testament is of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)

To explain this in a little more detail, if you hire an attorney to write a 'Last Will & Testament' for you, you know that this only goes into effect upon your death.

 So anything you bequeath (give away) upon your death is written in your 'Will' (Last Will & Testament). It can include any specific directions to those who are your heirs, like conditions or stipulations that they must agree to or conditions that they must meet in order to inherit. But it does not legally go into effect until your death. Similarly  the grace of God through Jesus Christ for the forgiveness and remission of sins was not available during the life of Jesus Christ but did become available for all upon his physical death on the cross.

 Act_2:23  --him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men , have crucified and slain.
Act_5:30  The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom *ye* have slain, having hanged on a cross.

So when Jesus was crucified, his 'Testament' went into effect and those who believe on Jesus Christ are no longer governed by the old testament (aka 'The Law'). 


Christian Perspective as a historical note: Israel tried to follow the law's of God to be a righteous people (see Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Numbers), but like anyone today was prone to sin and was not able to achieve righteousness on their own so by the law's standards everyone had sinned. During that time God would forgive their sins when the high priest would make a sacrifice for the people at the temple of God. They offered animal sacrifices every year at the temple but this only 'rolled' their sins back for 1 year. It had to be repeated every year.


God had a better plan for His people and wanted the people to believe on him to love him and to have FAITH in him. Not just obeying Him through their religious deeds because it was the 'law'.

He wanted them to love him and have him in their minds and hearts.

The Plan

So God made another way (Jesus) so that whoever would believe on Jesus would not be ashamed.
See Romans 9:32

Rom 9:31  But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to that law.
Rom 9:32  Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumbling-stone,
Rom 9:33  according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

Though the Apostles of Jesus were all Jewish people who traveled with him and others who believed on him became disciples by believing on Jesus, over all, the Jewish people did not recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah, (many still do not accept him as the Messiah). John The Baptist said;



Joh_1:10  He was in the world, and the world had its being through him, and the world knew him not.
Joh_1:31  and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptizing with water.
Joh_1:33  And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

Why do Christians have so much persecution? Why is it rare that a Christian is respected, or acknowledged?  Because they didn't recognize Jesus either and as it is written the servant is not above the Master..


1Jn_3:1  See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.


I believe the Bible (Holy Scriptures) to be the inspired word of God. Both old and new testament are relevant to our lives in my opinion but in case you're one of those people who are only interested in the new testament let me share this.


Christians believe that jurisdiction of old testament law ended when Jesus was crucified for our sins.

The bible uses a lot of analogy's and one is the analogy of Jesus as 'The Vine'.

Joh_15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Joh_15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Joh_15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

So that explains how Christians (followers of Christ) come in the picture but where does that leave the Israelites?

Jesus said God could graft them (Israel) back into 'the vine'.

(to be continued).

Grieving For Connecticut

Last week there was a horrific act committed by a young man. The nation was stunned in disbelief and grieved that someone could do a thing so horrible to little children and those watching over them at the school in Conneticut.

We wrestled to try and understand, why?
But regardless of the why, it is still heart wrenching, still devastating.
We turn still reeling from this blow, staggering beneath its weight to pause from questioning why, to ask how we can prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
We cry at the horror inflicted on the young children and mourn the loss.

The fact is that that existing laws prohibit someone of his age to own a gun didn't stop him. He didn't own it, it was legally owned by his mother. He was not legally allowed to have a gun in a school zone but he took it there anyway. Murder is illegal but he killed anyway. And the truth be known, if he had not had access to the guns at home he would have sought another way to kill and exact his vengeance.

He planned the horrible act, down to his bullet proof vest.

So we pray for the families of those killed and express our deepest sympathy for their lost.

AUTHORS NOTE - I wrote this as you may surmise the week of the mass murder of children in Connecticut and decided not to publish it at that time.
Enough grief was being expressed, however I too grieved for those murdered and the hurt of the family's left behind. Does that warrant taking the way rights of law abiding citizens, of changing our bill of rights ?

No, I think not. It will not solve the problem, or prevent a similar tragedy in the future.

 It is only a process of making people THINK they have done something that will prevent a similar tragedy in truth it is a placebo. You will perhaps feel better for awhile but it won't cure the 'disease'.  Truth is, you can't prevent  every tragedy.

That's called Life.

On Politics - The Liberal Bias

It's no secret that I supported Romney - Ryan in this election. It's no secret I strongly disapprove of President Obama's job performance the past term and that I think he is making bad decisions in regard to the way he leads this country economically and also in regard to our international policies and United Nations involvement.
If that bother's any of my friends, you can and probably should ...

remove yourself from my friend list. I am tired of people implying I am racist. My kids and I attended a mixed race church while they were growing up and the Latino and Black families children spent the night in my home with my kids very often and vice versa.

The way I look at race is there is only one God who created the human race and we are all God's 'children'. I do not discriminate based on anyone's race.

I do discriminate on the basis of behavior. There are some activities and behaviors I don't like, may not approve of or wont accept. Lying, Theft, bigotry, prejudice to name a few.

I may tolerate some people's behavior but that does not necessarily mean I agree with it, or believe that it is correct. I reserve the right to be of my own opinion in my own mind and I'm not going to be censored, reprimanded, or abused verbally by people who THINK that anyone who doesn't agree with them is beneath them socially or intellectually.

If there is any class of people in the United States today that I have seen more instances of rude, crass, or hate it is from those claiming to be liberal. If you disagree with them they immediately resort to name calling and belittling the other person. In most cases if you question anyone's qualifications for a job based on education, experience or job performance they will accuse you of being 'racist'.

Well let me say for the record not every white person is a genius and neither is every black. There are people of low intelligence in every race, class and culture. If you question the validity of my statement look at the rich and wealthy in America who are constantly in the headlines because of the incredibly stupid things they have done. Success monetarily does not equate intelligence and even the most intelligent MENSA member does not always have 'common sense'.

Look at the actions of General Petraeus if you want a example. Very intelligent, disciplined, smart. If anyone would be able to exercise SELF CONTROL, you would think it would be him. However as it is written, 'when you think you stand, take heed lest ye fall. "

On Justice, Affirmative Action & Honor

The race card. I think from now on I'm going to start playing the race card too.

In my bloodline back through my parents on both sides of the family tree we have American Indian's, also somewhere along the line (mom can correct me if I'm wrong, I believe was had some Chinese). To look at me, you'd just say I was Caucasian, because my skin appearance took after the German, Irish, and Scottish rel...

atives.

I always thought I was just American, and what race I was really didn't matter. I never tried to use 'affirmative' action in order to get a job. Though in many respects I was considered a minority since I was a female, veteran, and worked most of my life in the industrial construction business which is predominantly a male work force.

To think I actually believed that I should do equal work for equal pay to that of any man on the same job with the same job title.

BUT I do remember the day when I worked for 6 months on the Brown & Root construction site near Wilmington, CA and they hired a Latino man in at the same job title for a dollar more per hour than what I was getting. He did not speak English and someone had to translate everything to him in order to give him instructions about what they wanted him to do. Myself, I would work without supervision on any project they gave me until my job was finished.

Now, I'm not saying this because he was Latino, Spanish speaking. BUT I did not think it was fair that they were paying him more money per hour (same job title) Third class helper in electrical department. When I had been there longer, had never been late, had not missed a day's work. And had received a recommendation from my supervisor to the project manager for a raise. Do you think they raised my pay to equal his ? NO.

Affirmative action can cause reverse discrimination in the work force. That's because affirmative action I assume placed that man higher on the list than a 'white' female non war era veteran. In order for me to get a increase in pay I had to stay after work and take additional job training classes on my own time (not paid) and IF and when I finally finished the course if I graduated I would get a fifty cent a hour raise.

I'm not whining, I don't ask for pity. BUT really a man should not get paid more money than a woman for the exact same job if she has seniority and his performing the duties equally or better than the man. Once on another Brown & Root job one of the men told m I should go home because I was taking a 'mans' job by being there. Which I responded to by saying "I will be happy to go home if you want to pay all my bills, and medical care as I have children at home and am not getting any child support to help raise them".

He didn't say a word to me after that but It hurt me that people say things that are harsh, hateful and mean spirited when they really don't know the other person's story.

There's a old adage - Supposed to be a saying among the Indians to not judge someone till you'd walked a mile in their moccasin's.

Bottom line it's really easy to stand in judgment of people - even people that you think you know. So many people are clamoring for attention these days that no one pays much attention to those who sit quietly back and nurse their wounds but you know the old saying "still waters run deep ".

After watching the news recently and seeing that lady in Florida trying to get preferred service / treatment because of her 'honorary' title of Honorary consul general ? I mean who makes this garbage up ?? AND what idiot, and yes I said idiot would give a woman like that, THAT title? Socialite? Sounds more like she was running a little happy hooker party service (IMHO) but then I shouldn't judge right ?

I guess I'm just upset - that a few minutes ago, our veterans - wounded veterans on a flatbed trailer truck where hit by a train. People who deserved better. People who were honorable and served, not just air heads floating around a title of 'honorable'. Many of them died. Many other's are in emergency receiving treatment. Life is not fair. The good die young. And morons, clamoring for free birth control, abortions, and free cell phones continue marching on.

BUT I KNOW that one day, all this will be weighed in the balance and God shall judge each person for the deeds that they did in their body. We will each of us have to account for every word or deed and on that day, finally JUSTICE will be done.

Twitter Politics

Recently I have become quite prolific at the Twitter phenomena. It has become the real time communication method of choice when you need or want to spread the word fast. It's commonly used for casual informational updates but this fall it has become the armchair activist best friend.

The Twitter jail is one downfall I have experienced - when Twitter limitations are reached for a certain time period. Then they basically make you go sit it out and wait for a period of time before they allow you to tweet some more. Kind of like being sent to your room. ?? You've been a bad girl, too much tweeting and now we're going to put you in Time - out.

I have seen also some people who seem like 'ok' people getting their twitter accounts suspended / or hacked. I have no idea what could be the reason for the former as they didn't really seem like the type person who would do something really bad like threaten or stalk anyone. But then again you never know.
 
Wondering how I tie this in with politics? I don't think I have ever been quite so  concerned about the outcome of an election nor so active online or otherwise in trying to help, promote or aide a cause. I find myself becoming a 'armchair activist'. Countless hours spent tweeting tid bits of news reports back and forth from other interested persons and news sources.  Twitter may actually cause a real impact on the outcome of the 2012 elections and possibly even be responsible for grass roots organization of protestors demanding an investigation and  possible impeachment of President Obama.

The sad or rather TRAGIC thing in the news is that our own President has been involved in what appears to be a scandelous cover-up of overwhelmingly shocking proportions.

Allegedly he sat watching real time video feed while the attack took place that  caused the death of our people on the ground there. Making it much worse is that they had requested help, and help was nearby.

The story is that our own President denied them aide resulting in the deaths of all present and then fabricated with the help of others this coverup blaming a film creator - as inciting the Muslims to riot. AS it turns out that was not the way it really happened.  Now Americans are calling for a investigation and requesting a possible Impeachment proceeding against the President. All of this just before our next Presidential election.

Some question if a sitting President can be tried for murder - well He could if found guilty be impeached, removed from his position and then tried in federal court. His actions appear intentional by the accounts of most news story's making the rounds - though that is yet to be fully proven therefore we will say that He is allegedly responsible for their deaths.

There are however many emails making the rounds through the news organizations and the internet which were 'allegedly' sent out in a desperate cry for help by the Ambassador and those with him on that fateful day.

IF it is true, that they requested help in plenty of time for it to arrive to protect them and IF the help was truly available in a location that could be sent quickly to assist them...... and IF it is true that President Obama denied them the help they requested then it would appear that He is responsible for their deaths, willfully responsible and that could possibly be tried as murder.

This is a very sad and tragic time especially for the families of those lost. But also for the American people who have had to bear the shame of a President so enamored of himself that he has no regard for the performance of his Presidential duties or our constitutional rights. (or that is the information we have received thus far from online news sources) which has yet to be fully proven however I must say that at this point I do personally believe  it to be true.

Presidential Debate Tonight

         Big Presidential debate tonight and I do plan to watch it. This one will be on the subject of foreign policy - Which although Romney has not had the opportunity yet to gain experience in foreign policy governing a nation

I don't expect that to be much of a problem considering Obama's dismal failure in all of his foreign policies. Doesn't take but a few minutes of reading the headlines these days to see that foreign policy is out of control and not being created in a way to benefit Americans.

In fact, Obama's foreign policy decisions are costing American lives and leaving America's allies in the lurch.
Who can count on us as a friend these days ? Praying God will intervene in this election and get America back on track with godly values.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight's debate my mind is made up. I can not and will not vote for Obama. I do feel that Romney has the best interests of the United States at heart and sincerely wants to see American succeed on every level.

Blog: UN Rep: Romney win would mean 'a democratic mandate for torture'

Blog: UN Rep: Romney win would mean 'a democratic mandate for torture'

This is ridiculous statement by this so called expert and in fact our election process is none of his business. We decide for ourselves who we want to govern us and we could care less what the rest of the world thinks about it. It is NOT their decision to make and the man should keep his mouth shut.  Considering the UN would not exist without the support of the United States I think they should be aware that we can withdraw our support and our financial support as well. IN fact many including myself wonder if we should do just that considering the UN seems to be made up more of enemies of the USA than neutral or allies these days.
Personally I think we need to work with our allies and let the UN be dissolved. I don't seem them as very productive as a whole, and a big waste of our tax dollars.

America In Crisis - ELECTIONS 2012

So much has happened in the past 4 years and as I review it there is no way I could even place a 'Readers Digest Version' here. We are at the brink of disaster which so many of us hope & yes pray to stave off with a change in the Oval office.

Our countries credit report has been downgraded and rumors are it may happen again.
Our unemployment ratings have gone in a wild spin out of countrol and no hope in sight it seems.
Much worse than that is our national deficit, a disaster in and of it's self.

Our current leaderships response to these crisis has been to create something they referred to as a 'STIMULUS' which gave money away to people who really didn't need it and who had proved that they were not good money managers in the past. Their irresponsibility is what caused their dilemma in the first place.

A political rage is running through the land. Twitters tweeting by the thousands. Threats of riots from democrats if President Obama isn't re-elected. Intimidation tactics by bringing in the U.N. (or so rumors say) to observe and make sure there is no voter fraud. Since when are we under Marshall Law of the United Nations for a normal scheduled presidential election in the USA?

Christianity is not P.C. but it's perfectly okay for the President to appear in publications and news photos dressed as a islamic / muslim and wear his ring with the inscription 'there is no god but allah' or so I have read and seen photos being passed around on the internet.

Obamacare - Once touted as a medical insurance coverage for all people turns out is a device to bring a 'death panel' into power on whom would have the responsibility of deciding what medical care would be allowed based on their evaluation of the person's life and their ability to contribute productively to society.

In summary, President Obama the child of marxist parents has brought socialism to the whitehouse and they are fighting tooth and nail to keep their foot in the door. Presidential directives and executive orders being signed and put into law as fast as Obam's hand can sign his name. Are we allowed to know what he is signing into law? Or did he really create a executive order to make his executive orders and presidential initiatives unavailable to the public at large.

How do we get out of this mess? For it is indeed a mess.

We have a president who has no solutions and anything he has touched has caused more debts, less jobs and loss of lives. He has failed us miserably and yet, he asks, no demands to remain in office for four more years. Does he deserve this  prestigious position ? No, his job performance is dismal.

He does not attend the necessary meetings with staff. How many meetings with his JOBS committe has he actually attended? When foreign dignitaries request meetings He is too busy, performing comedy routines with TV personalities on talk shoes and comedy shows.

When our Ambassador pleads for help and more security - Obama's team says NO. and goes on to party without a thought for those dying. Yet he pretends he didnt know. If he did not know then someone needs to be fired. Someone on his staff is supposed to update the president DAILY if not HOURLY on national security  when its a life and death matter. WHO failed to bring this to his attention? OR if he knew why didnt he act in time? Where was the security for the Embassy / Consulate ?


We are in crisis. We need help.  Foreign UN Leaders have stepped up and told us not to elect Mitt Romney. Let us tell them what we think of them. Stand up for freedom, your right to speak and elect the President of YOUR choice.

Tell the UN to pack their bags and go home.
They are not wanted or needed.
We can handle our own elections.
Can you say AMEN ?

Restoration - The Lost Sheep

Sometimes people who were once 'in church' and who quit attending, or left off living for God feel convicted or depressed about the situation they find themselves in.

They wish they could return, to be where they used to be in God working for the Lord but the shame of the life they have lived and the feeling that they have failed prevents them returning.

They think that they have been separated from God and that nothing can restore them to the place that they once held.

  This is a lie of the enemy He loves to use to prevent them from seeking forgiveness and healing.

In Gods word there is a parable that Jesus taught the people about a lost sheep. Now amongst 'church folks', the sheep are known to represent Christians as Jesus as known as the Chief Shepherd. Sheep are supposed to follow the shepherd as he leads them to places where they can eat and drink and be safe from predators.

 "1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. ... from the King James Bible Online (KJV Bible)."  

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." Psalm 23:1-3

SO we are the sheep and He is the Shepherd. You could say the church or bride of christ could also be called 'the flock'. So Jesus takes care of the sheep feeding, protecting and guiding and we are to follow Him.


My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man. John 10:27-28

Thus we know the bible when it refers to 'sheep' in that context is referring to Believers - because He said He gives them eternal life.  


Now In Luke Chapter 15 beginning in verse 4 there is a parable that Jesus taught the people about a lost sheep. 


⁴ What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
⁵ And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
⁶ And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
⁷ I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.


What this passage of scripture spoke to my heart is that while you may have strayed away from the flock, you are so important (in the sense of needing his immediate help and protection) that He would walk away from the rest of the flock of grazing sheep, to come find the one lost sheep and make sure it is safely returned to the fold. 

Anyone who has raised herd animals knows that they generally will bunch together for safety, and keep close to their protector whether it be a animal that has protective capabilities or a shepherd who is watching over them but it seems like you always have a few that tend to stray from the herd. 

It's important that they stay with the rest of the group because when one is out alone it's much easier for the enemy to sneak up, attack and destroy knowing there is no one nearby to save. But Jesus, The Chief Shepherd takes his care of his flock seriously and exercises much more care and concern than any shepherd on Earth would or has ever done.  Therefore you can be assured, that if you have strayed from the fold, and separated yourself from the flock, that Jesus is searching for you, seeking to return you to the fold. 

It doesn't matter what you've done or where you've been. He has left the 99 to look for you.

How do I know this ? Why do I share it here? 
I was that lost sheep.

After Ye Have Suffered Awhile

ON FAITH

10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

I chose this topic in the scripture for the url of my blog because I have learned that growing in the faith requires suffering. Christians who think living for God is always going to be smooth sailing are in for a shock.

The word of God says that "12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:" 2 Timothy 2: 10 - 12

A New Day

It's 3 AM so officially it's a new day. I can try and block out yesterday's event's but there is an overall sadness that a relationship of a lifetime with my daughter has deteriorated to it's current state.

I love my daughter (and granddaughters) and It saddens me when we have a conflict.

20 Years

I guess somethings are better left unsaid or at least better if you take it to God rather than people. God will always understand. You can't say the same about people. Some will, and some won't depending on their mind set and their relationship with God.

Trust the Lord - He's always looking out for your welfare.
