And Now For Something Completely Different

I thought I would borrow the title from one of my favorite comedy shows of the past, Monty Python's Flying Circus.  They can be seen from time to time on television, mostly BBC or Public Television here in the states.

If you have been watching the Little League World Championship games, I am sure you have noticed how much bigger the boys are getting.  The six foot mark has been overcome in height and the two hundred pound mark has been bettered as well.

Now, I don't know how you look at this, but from my perspective a twelve year old boy that weighs over two hundred pounds and stands over six foot tall is too big for Little League play.  Is it "Little" league or not?

We need to impose a weight and height limit for those that play in the Little League.

It is not fair to those boys that still are little to have to compete against those at that size range.  Those larger boys should be moved up to the next sized league, what we used to call Pony League.  At least they would be playing with boys their own size.

I have been watching the elimination games and most of the players are much smaller than the six foot mark and weigh little over one hundred pounds, some up to one hundred fifty pounds.  That should be the limit.  Under 5ft 7" and under 150lbs.  That would make it fair for each player to compete.

Japan has a pitcher that throws the ball over 75 miles per hour on a Little League field, which is the equivalent of a Major League Baseball pitcher throwing 95 miles per hour.  Are you kidding me?  Most of these kids, even the ones that bat very well, cannot get the bat around fast enough to hit this guy.  This is not a fair match up at all.  I quit watching the game in the second inning because it was obvious that the Japanese were going to win the game because of their advantage with the large pitcher.

If you agree with me, then you should voice your opinion to the Little League Association of the United States and urge them to take it to the international organization for some changes to be made very soon.  The situation will only get worse.

The New Super Power

Will we continue to be the world's only "super power" or will we all just have to get along?

First of all, don't try to take my guns.  I don't have any yet but when I do, don't try and take them away because I have a right to defend myself against animals or people.

However, we don't need a bunch of Hatfield's and McCoy's feuds springing up all over the country either.  So how do we approach citizens being armed to the teeth or disarmed?

It has to be with a common sense perspective.  The only way to have that is to display everything that is involved with arms control in a country.  What are we talking about?  Can the citizenry be armed or not?

I say yes and with as much power as they can accummulate.  If they live on a hillside and can construct cannons to protect themselves, I say more power to them!

On the other hand, we don't want mini-wars breaking out all over the country so how do we control everything?

We get everyone in the country to agree about how to control everything.  We agree on how to control criminal issues in our country why can we not come together and agree on arms and how they can be used.  We certainly do not want the criminal elements of our country to get an upper hand on the citizenry therefore we cannot disarm the public.

It is going to take a sober look at all of this to come to a conclusion but as a country we need to do that soon and end the debate over gun control.

Our's is a Jerry Springer Culture

Yes, that's right.  I said we are a "Jerry Springer Culture" and if you turn the news on today you will agree with me.  Sometimes I am not sure if it is the Jerry Springer Show or the evening news.

First of all, why did I pick Jerry Springer?  Well, all you have to do is tune into one of his shows and according to his ratings, there are many of us each time his show airs that are tuning into his show.  We see the most screwed part of our society displayed in front of everyone.  People calling each other names, disrespecting everything about life and other people, generally showing the worst part of our culture.

Especially during elections now, we can see the worst of our culture showing through.  Candidates that stretch the truth so far that it no longer exists.  Someone once remarked that if you say something enough times it will stick even though it is not true.

Politicians have a nack for saying nothing while talking for several minutes.  They also have a nack for saying things that are partially true and sometimes outright lying to us.  This is all to confuse us as to what the person is actually saying.  That way if they are called out for saying these things, they can deny that is what they said.  Amazing how many people fall for this smoke and mirror type of talking.  Each candidate has people that will vote for them based on what they are saying.

A perfect example comes to mind when talking about oil, gas or any natural resource that we have in our country.  I have heard about the Keystone pipeline until I am sick of it because nothing being said about the pipeline is clear enough to understand exactly what is going on with the project.  I tried to listen to each side talk about the sand oil in the pipeline from Canada, through Nebraska down to Texas to be refined.  I tried very hard to understand why the pipeline was so important but I kept hearing conflicting information, depending on who was talking.

If Democrats talked about the pipeline it was all about the environmental considerations.  If the Republicans are talking they point to the jobs, the new source of oil and lower fuel prices in our country.  Neither side is being totally honest with us as they speak.  They are not telling us about the pipeline already in place down to Oklahoma, which is not far from Texas on my map.  A pipeline from Oklahoma to Houston refineries would be better in my opinion.

Why are they, both sides, hiding the fact that we already have pipelines from Alberta, through Illinois, to Oklahoma.  The oil from Canada is already going down that pipeline.  What happened was very ingenius in my estimation.  They reversed the flow of oil in one of the pipelines.  The one that existed already bringing oil up from Oklahoma oil fields to the refineries in Illinois.  Once Illinois had more oil than they could refine, the northern flow of oil was not needed.  A new company bought the Oklahoma oil production and the pipeline.  They stopped the flow north and started oil coming south.

So, what do we do when we cannot get proper information.  We go back to basics and do the research ourselves.  That is exactly what I did and what I found was very interesting about the pipelines already in place that none of us are being told about, by either side.  You would think the Democrats would yell the info from the highest mountain to defeat the pipeline legislation however we never heard anything about the pipeline not being needed.  Could that be Canadian pressure on the USA being applied?  Canada is desperately trying to cash in on their oil deposit.  It is huge.

Lets talk about the sand oil and understand what this source yields in actual positive energy supply.  It takes natural gas burning to first reduce the oil out of the sand.  That means we are producing a negative amount of energy at this time.  What I mean is we are paying more for the production of the oil than the oil energy value it will produce.

Canada has to sell their oil to us at a steep discount because this pipeline is the only one out of town right now.  That is why they wanted the Keystone two pipeline legislation passed in our country.  An image of lots of money changing hands in Washington DC comes to mind immediately.  I wonder why?  The net results of building this pipeline is a negative to this country in reality.  The discount we get in Illinois will disappear as soon as the pipeline is moving oil south to Texas.  Our costs to refine will go up therefore our costs of the fuel will go up.  The citizens of the USA lose on the deal.

What Canada needs is a way to ship their oil overseas to the market that will pay the most for the oil, Europe, China, etc.  The Keystone two pipeline would have done that but at the peril of every square inch of the USA the pipeline crossed.  That includes a large fresh water aquifer and across a key river, the Missouri. 

Now, you have to understand that corporations figure in accidents when they consider what their profits are going to be in the future.  I don't know how many accidents on pipelines occur and what the percentage of chances of an accident occuring along the pipelines.  The companies build in that accident risk in their overall plans to build and utilize a pipeline, shouldn't we consider the value of that pipeline vs the value of the land it will pass through?

All of this brings us back to where I began this blog, the dialogue in our country with citizens arguing about ideology, slinging disrespect across the board.  Our politicians and political pundents are leading the parade.  Ethics, morals and common sense is being replaced by a Jerry Springer culture because of this.

Get money out of politics, take the incentive of cheating out of the mix, bring ethics and morals up a few levels, bring back respectful speaking in politics and our society will begin to follow that lead.  Talk about role models, they are the role models for society.  Politicians should be made to understand that more than anything.

Let's Bring Back The Draft In This Country - For Congress

Let's Bring Back The Draft here in this country. 
 
This time we will draft people to serve in Congress and the Presidency.  We sort of do that with our elections but the elections have become tainted, to say the least, so we need to change things around a little.  Let's draft the people for two years service and place them where they serve the country the best.
 
First, I believe each citizen, whether born here or immigrating to this country, should serve the country for two years out of their lives.  It could be done on many different levels with some doing community service on behalf of the country, such as in Social Security and Medicare.  Instead of having to pay the staff of each office, local people would take care of the administration of each office.  Many with the skills would have the time to do this for two years out of their lives.  After all, we ask our service personnel to serve a minimum of two years to help us on the national security front, we can ask others to take care of helping administer tax payer programs on the local level.
 
Those Drafted to Congress, whether it be the House or the Senate, will be of skill levels that suit that position in our government of the people.  The President will be CEO skill level and a person that has shown their entrepreneurial spirit and success in the marketplace.  Someone that will know how to manage a business, day to day, and be able to negotiate on behalf of the people of the country.  The Vice-President will also have a working knowledge of managing a business but will have unique skills to complement the President.  The third person in line of the presidency would be appointed by the President and Vice-President to be Speaker of The House, a person solely there to assure parliamentary procendures in the Senate, a person proven to be dedicated to an unbiased position politically.  If the Senate vote is tied, the Speaker will cast the tie breaking vote based on an educated perspective.
 
The judges would be appointed the same as they are now with perhaps a tweak or two here and there across the board.  The idea would be to level the competitive field for those who would like to volunteer their skills to serve their fellow citizens. 
Judges should be vetted completely before given such a lofty position of power.
 
If you have never thought of it before, think about it now. 
 
Two years to make a difference or to continue the staus quo, whichever occurs in Congress during the time each person serves.  An opportunity for those citizens that have a passion to serve their country.  No representative should have to pay out of their own money the costs of serving their country.  Therefore, compensation should be paid to the respresentative to find good shelter, adequate food, health care and transportation while serving.  It would be part of the agreement with the taxpayer that insurance companies doing business in this country would be required to offer each person serving our country health and accident insurance coverage while serving and seamless coverage upon entering and exiting service.
 
The idea is definitely out there but not impossible.  It would certainly take a country citizenry ready to cooperate to make this country great once again, showing the world that our country, the United States of America, is different from the rest of the world and worth the allegiance of those that live there.
 
What do you think???
 
Let me know via the comments.  I would love to hear from you.

Occupy Wallstreet - Frustrated and Out of Work

I must say I did not expect this kind of public outrage to what was happening on Wall Street and in the Mortgage/Banking business.

I thought everyone was in a daydream and did not see the direction we were going, even after Allen Greenspan talked about how everything was inflated and could not last very much longer. I cannot remember how many times I heard him say the housing situation was not going to prevail. People kept getting into the real estate frenzy, feeding the beast, until finally the bubble burst. Just like a pinada, once it burst open you could see what was inside. We saw how corrupt all of the players were. No wonder people were getting upside down in their properties, the guys making the deals were getting rich from the fees. Greed in it's purest form at the home of the deals, Wall Street.

Now the people that were reeled in by the system that screwed them are turning on bankers and mortgage brokers. Big banks and big finance corporations are going to find it tough to do business under their present names. There will probably be a run on new corporation names in the next few years as they posture themselves to strike again in the future.

None of them are being prosecuted or held responsible for the mess they created. If they get away with it now it will be easier for them to set it up for another hit in the future.

I have to applaud all of the "occupiers". I knew we had old hippies out there somewhere that would not mind going out and demonstrate again. We need you again. I can't be there full time but I will be in the groups when I can, supporting their voice against big business fraud and greed.

Thank you.

Rainbow Ridge Opal Mine, Virgin Valley, Nevada

Rainbow Ridge Opal Mine, Virgin Valley, Nevada

This opal mine is the most helpful and most productive of all the mines in the same area. We came away with some unique opals and some common ones. We definitely received our monies worth plus all of the fun we had doing the digging and searching. We will definitely recommend this experience to anyone interested in searching for opals with a great amount of color. Hope they continue to produce this type of opal.

I Am U S American - Are You?

I am so tired of hearing journalist, magazine article authors, song writers, jingle creators and everyone I meet refer to themselves or anyone else as being "a good American" or "the American dream". Hugo Chavez would consider himself as a "good American". He lives in South America but "American" nevertheless.

The Prime Minister of Canada is an American. Do you think he grew up with the "American Dream"?

Hollywood and the journalist of this country and the world for that matter began using the term "American" to refer to us and it caught on. Never mind that it makes no sense for us to refer to ourselves as part of the entire three continents, North, Central and South America. It was hard to come up with a short term to refer to people from the United States of America so "American" was adopted.

Along with adopting that term we lost our uniqueness in the world. It was only a matter of time before we began to lose our image as well. This country has become divided among the right, left and left out. We must put our Politicism aside and begin to think as a United country. We have to put "political correctness" and any other false front that was devised to split us up out of the way so we can grow strong again and prosper as a country and as a people. We have led the parade so far and we need to stay ahead in the future.

A Dangerous Trend Coming From The Superior Court Of The United States of America.

The latest decision of our country's Superior Court is a trend toward Facism. It does not seem to matter which party is officially in office as President because this country has now bowed to the Corporatism of the country.

The Court decided it was okay for corporations to contribute to a candidate for political office. That means the corporations will have overwhelming influence in how a candidates will vote while in office. It is the only way it can end up because human nature bows to money. It is very hard to pass up millions of dollars and the future of your family is secured overnight. Money means too much in everyday life for the average person to be strong enough to turn it down in favor of unbiased actions.

That said, we have to approach each situation learning from the last and this country and society in general seems to have a hard time doing this. Most of us approach life with the attitude that if what is happening in the world does not touch my family I do not have the energy to deal with anything else in my life. Our society here in the United States is tired of chasing the almighty buck only to have it crash and burn right in front of us.

What can we do? End the Politicism and come together once again into a great country that the world strives to emulate.

One Last Chance 2011

This country has entered a new era. We have one last chance to show the world that we are the strongest country in the world. Not only are we the strongest military but we are the strongest economy, the strongest ethics and moral fibers run deeply through our country.



The fringe are just that, the fringe, and should not carry any importance in everyday life. Sure we need to keep watching them because they could start something that we will be very sorry for in the future but they are a small minority of this country.



Most of us are hard working people that care about others. We don't want to give away money to those that waste it but it is important that we reach out around the world and help those in need.



Why? Because they are part of the human race and we are civil and thoughtful about our fellow mankind. There are those that say we do not owe anyone and each person should take care of themselves but that goes against the whole reason we jumped out of Neanderthal into humankind, we became civil to one another. We cared what happened to our neighbor as well as ourselves. That is what it means to be human beings.

The USA is slipping away

I have a couple of days off from building our house and I started cerfing the internet for news, watching television and listening to talk radio again.

Both of the major political parties have their hosts or hostettes pushing a particular agenda to anyone listening or watching that day. In the meantime, the politicians in Congress are passing legislature that is harmful for our country and giving themselves raises when everyone else has to pinch pennies to exist.

They just voted themselves a raise in salary and benefits which is called “cost of living increase” but recently sent out letters to tax paying citizens that their social security check would not get the normal “cost of living increase” this year because there was virtually no inflation in our country.

The vote was not even close to failing. For the first time in months, the Republicans and the Democrats united together and passed legislation in a timely manner. Amazing what they can accomplish in such a short time? All without much media attention I might add.

Is everyone aware that the Supreme Court of this country just ruled that it is okay for foreign corporations to use their profits to promote certain political agendas in this country?

Is it just me or can you see how much of our country is being influenced by foreign and sometimes hostile countries?

Rupert Murdock influences a great deal of the media throughout the country and that media is helping his agenda to bring our country down and they do it in the name of the Republican party. He owns FOX and other influential networks that promote division in our country. Remember Rupert is not from the USA.

China and other countries own a great deal of our country’s Real Property thanks to the relaxing of controls over corporations both domestic and foreign. Money is a strong motivator for a politician to cooperate with something that is not good for the country.

A split country like the one we have now give the powerful enemies we have in the world an advantage against us because of our lack of cohesion as a society.

Have the two parties, Democrat and Republican, gained so much power in this country that they can do anything they want without the general population reacting?

The media has succeeded in splitting us up according to political affiliations to benefit their agenda.

Now we all are obsessively engaged in right vs left. This action makes the media’s “air time” worth more money to the political advertisers who want to influence everyone’s perception of what is happening in our country. The flow of money continues and the owners of the media are getting rich off of it. The more we tug of war over our country’s leadership the more our enemies can drive a wedge in our defenses. They cannot march in and take this country by force but subtle influence can override our common sense at times and make us vulnerable.

Is There Anyone At Home?

Wake up US citizens! Are you so numb that you cannot see your country going down the drain?

Time for a rant but I should not be alone in this rant.

Everyone that cares about this country and our image in the rest of the world better start paying attention to what is going on around them. Our country is on a declining spiral and we better pay more attention to it.

Everything that our forefathers instilled in our system is being torn apart. The Congress is telling us they are watching everything and will report back to us. The Treasury and Federal personnel are telling Congress they are watching everything and will report back to them in a few more months. The President's advisors are telling him that they are watching everything and will report to him from time to time. The President is trying to settle everything down in the world so finances can operate once again across the globe and he is saying to them he is watching everything and will report to them soon.

In the meantime, the corporations that knew all of this would occur, and some of whom helped this financial crisis to occur, have positioned themselves to be on the receiving end of the taxpayers money. It is not about these companies surviving at all. In fact it is my opinion that they do not want these companies to survive intact.

THEY refers to the entities behind the scenes pulling the strings. The Congress is probably oblivious to what the underlying answers are and those of us that have our intuition tuned in don't honestly know who THEY are but it is becoming more like the Trilateral Commission's fingerprints all over the evidence. That group is made up of all the financial entities around the world. It was orginated here in the good ole USA by Rockefeller and the rest of the financial tycoons in the 1970's. Jimmy Carter was supposed to have dropped his membership when he become President but since then I have not heard of any members dropping their membership because of involvement with Government. Geitner, Paulson, Bernanke are all members along with Cheney, Bush, etc. Can one make this type of stuff up? No because the list of members is public knowledge but if the public is numb they listen to the information and then go eat dinner or take in a movie as if nothing is going on.

We have a financial meltdown in the US and right behind us are the rest of the countries in Europe. Even Asia has been brought into the quagmire but have you noticed the Middle Eastern area has remained intact with Saudi Arabia leading the parade. Lets see, they have the oil, the money, and soon the nukes. What have we been doing in the meantime? We attacked Iraq, threw military into Afghanistan and now we are going over the border with Pakistan and waging war there too. Is this the proper strategy for us as a country?

It is no coincidence that the Bushes and the Clintons were really good friends working together and both bowed to the Saudi Arabian leader, holding hands and having a good ole time together. That was on television but no one seemed to understand what it meant. It means that power follows the money. It is no coincidence that George Bush Sr and Jr, Dick Cheney and Bill Clinton were members of the 'skull and bones' club at Yale. That club did not originate at Yale however and when one takes the time to trace the origin of the club it goes back to the early 1800's in Germany. There are those that believe it goes back much further than that. Back to the Egyptians and Jews in BC. It is not a harmless fraternity club. There is much more to that group than meets the eye. They have been around a long time.

That means this group cuts across most societies in the world by now. It is beginning to be obvious that families are in top positions of various country's leadership. From the beginning we have families running countries and I am not talking about the Monarchs.

Smith (15) Walker (15) Allen (13) Brown (13) Clark (12) White (12) Day (11) Johnson (11)
Jones (11) Miller (11) Stewart (11) Thompson (11) Cheney (10) Taft (10) Williams (10)

Some of these names have been President and some have been Vice President or other influential parts of our government here in the USA.

George Herbert Walker Bush is in the lineage and George Walker Bush is there as well.

All members of the skull and bones. Are these coincidences? I think not.

I bring all of this up for one reason. We have a responsibility to be vigil and to fight for our rights and freedoms. We cannot rely on others to do that. Each one of us has to stand up for what is moral, ethical and fair for all. We cannot continue to go along with the powers at hand. We must stand up and fight for our country to get it back. No gun laws, no big brother, get the corporations out of government and get the power back to the people.

And it all has to be tried in a non-violent way at first. We have to try and bring in people to Congress and the Presidency who care more for their fellow citizens than they do for the corporations. We have to take the big money out of politics. The media will fight this because they make billions of dollars in revenue every election cycle. The more they stir controvery up the more they make in ad revenues.

The politicians will not want to let go of their power so it will take a large effort at the poles. If we do not do this as a society we are doomed to go the way Rome did twice in the world's history.

Could we be the demise of the third Roman Empire that is referred to in the stories included in Revelations manuscripts. There is the rising and falling of one particular entity in the stories and it has been interpreted as being the Roman Empire rising and falling twice in our past history and in modern history there was to be another rising and falling of that Empire. Are we the third rise of the Roman Empire and are we about to take a dive?

All of this can be contemplated but too much hesitation causes negative results.

Washington needs to flush the toilet..it stinks!

Can you imagine a more pitiful time in our country's recent history?



We THE PEOPLE have given up on our duties to keep our government from getting the way it is today. It was up to us to keep them in line and we did not do that.

Now the two major parties are out of control and it is almost impossible to launch the third party because of the gerrymandering of districts for the Democrats and Republicans.

Washington needs to flush the toilet, it stinks!

As I Ponder

Once upon a citizen’s query
As they pondered, weak and weary.
How they would make enough money
To pay the beekeeper for the honey.

Should they give the hive owner cash
Or save that for their own stash
And give the hiver an IOU
hoping they will have the money when its due?

They could start a business and charge to join their club
Then pay the IOU with the cash flow and give the new members a stub
The only hope is that the members don’t discover the truth
Because they will have to come up with some real cash or end up in an iron booth.

Time for a new scheme but what could it be about?
Perhaps start a sub prime mortgage bank and eventually get bailed out.
That would put them back in the black numbers so they can try once more
To bilk the consumer for every penny they can get and more

They can take control of the government and get their agenda passed
And then somehow under the table resume what they did in the past.
Whose going to stop them since everyone is involved
Isn’t it sad how our society has evolved?

They are worshipping a false god called material and wealth
And not thinking about the future and society’s health
The result will be the decline of the whole and eventually lead to disaster
But that is what happens when greed is rampant and money is master.

Up Date On Barr

I heard Bob Barr interviewed several times recently since he was named by the Libertarian party as their Presidential candidate. He sounds like a Republican still. He had all of the "tag" words in each sentence he uttered. Republicans have done it the wrong way and you certainly cannot turn to the Democrats. That is his message basically. Go back and see how Bob Barr voted while in Congress and tell me he is not a Republican who is pissed off at the elite of the party and has decided to run against them via the Libertarian party.

What is that all about? If you don't like those that control the party you belong to just switch to another party for a while? Just like the Independent Party. They are the safe harbor for the pissed off Democrats.

Can we just get off of this train and take a new and different road?

Is there another road to take? We have to get off of the one that takes us to hell that is for sure!

A friend of mine and I have been talking about how our administration for our country has been lacking for many years. Neither the Democrats or Republicans have delivered for us and we were wondering how all of it would take place. How could real change occur.

First we knew that our country had to get to the place where we were scorned by the world. We thought how in the world is that going to happen. After all we were attacked by Muslim extremist and the world was standing with us. We were beating our enemies in Afghanistan and making that country better for it's citizens.

We thought how could all of that good will across the world disappear suddenly? We figured there was no way that could occur and settled down to play our game of video golf.

The next thing we knew President Cheney was making the case to go to war against Iraq.

I watched the United Nations Council meetings and saw Powell make a fool of himself. I watched as the nuclear proliferation hearings determined that Hussein did not have nuclear capability and did not pursue weapons of mass destruction. What the hell was the rest of the country watching? How could so many be fooled with the mass media we have in this country? Because they are now owned by just a few people, all of whom will cooperate with each other for a common cause. Especially if that cause is to lobby Congress for favors like tax breaks, special tax code, etc.

Whether you are Democrat or Republican you have to be totally pissed off at this government. It has been nothing but infringing on your rights and freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism but in reality it is simply a back door for "big brother" to run your life.

Now let us look at the whole thing in a different perspective.

Don't like the high price of gas because you have not received a raise in salary to compensate for the extra cost of fuel to get around your job? Do something about it.

Don't like paying five and six dollars per gallon of milk instead of two dollars last year? Do something about it.

Don't like companies being able to file bankruptcy and getting rid of the pensions they had in place for past employees and then coming out of bankruptcy without that financial liability? Do something about it.

Don't like who is making all of this happen? Do something about it.

Quit whinning and use your vote wisely. Don't listen to the media, do your homework. Find out about the candidate you are thinking about voting for before you vote for them.

Don't be a robot and vote for the party of your father or peers. Vote your concience.

Ask yourself some very important questions. The first question should be whether you really love and care about this country or not?

If you do, then the next question should be what are you going to do to show that love? Some call it patriotism but I call it love. You have to love your country to lay down your life in service to it.

You have to believe that you make a difference when you go and vote. You make a difference in a casual conversation when you temper the attitude of one or more of the participants that seem to be leaning to far one way or the other. Anyone on one side of the other is not in sinq with most people whose DNA has them cohabitating with others no matter who they are. There is no difference in one man from another or one woman from another. Take it to the molecular level and we are all the same. Take it to the first layer under the skin and you will find the same organization of cells into muscles, connectors, and the power plant organs.

We are all the same and if we did not have skin you could not tell who came from which country let alone which world. Don't you think that a wise God would have many of these types of planets around the universe so creatures like us would develop?

I think so. In fact, I think we are the beginning of the creation and we will develop into more spiritual beings and go to other developing planets to be their guides to God's kingdom. Who knows and who cares, right?

Well, sometimes I feel that way and for some reason deep inside of me I know that is not the right attitude and I come back to the one that says God made us to exist together and to be at peace with one another. Why else?

Hello Fellow Citizens of the GOUSA

I cannot imagine a worse situation for a country than the choices we have for our next President. I feel like one of those third world countries that has to put up with their political leaders and hope they don't screw things up so bad our country cannot recover.

The preacher that got Obama in so much trouble was speaking the truth in many of the cases. His comment about what God should do to the country because of the way we have acted politically is not far off from what God probably will do.

Our country has been taken over by those that think money and power are the only things to strive for in life. Our moral fortitude has been weakened and those in power are testing God's patience with us.

WE THE PEOPLE had better get off of our butts and start paying attention or our country will be damned.

We must stand up and resist the politicos in this country and make the government do what we want it to do. We had better stand up and resist those that would lead our country into the abyss.

Neither of the parties in power deserve your support or your money. Quit giving money to the parties and keep it in your savings. You need it much more than they do.

You will notice that even if you do not give to the parties they will still have billionaires supporting them. That is who they live off of. The money in this country runs it. That is why so many of them are in Congress and the Senate.

Actually they are elitists. I hate to use a word that is getting pushed around all over the media in this world but that is exactly what these people are. They have more money than anyone needs and they have no idea what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. Those that do are kept quiet.

We would be better off voting someone like Bob Barr into that position because he would be a good representative. Voting a third party person in does not mean they will remain impartial and that is the only thing that bothers me about him.

If Bob could somehow reach out and show how he would get both parties to cooperate and be more of a good will broker than a warrior across the world then I could vote for him.

If he can lead the Libertarian Party out of the middle ages and into today's civil world he could be the next President.

Can It Be Any More Obvious??

It is plain to see if one reads accounts and watches television, as the politicians posture and take positions, they think the election of 2008 was the last election we will have any chance in effecting as a voting public. If we do not take this last opportunity to do the right thing in 2012 and nullify both major party's influence over our country's affairs we will have lost the fight against the negative energy that has taken over our country by way of it's government. The parties will have been highjacked by their various extreme elements and WE THE PEOPLE will be left out of the process from now on.

The parties use the media, especially the television prime time viewing hours, to bolster their position and divert our attention with some inane programming. Who cares whether or not something happens on a television series? It is not real life and it is amazing how many people in this country will get caught up in the storyline and follow it with every bit of their attention but they will pay no attention to what the politicians are doing to our country.

It is plain to see that if WE THE PEOPLE do not step up and take responsibility of our country we can kiss it goodbye as far as our influence is concerned after 2008.

We have this last chance in the elections to create a new government that is FOR THE PEOPLE and not against the people, BY THE PEOPLE not by these hypocrits that run the country now and FOR THE PEOPLE not for the special interest groups that resemble Forbes' Top 100 Corporations list.

Before I go on with this rant, I need to set the record straight.

I am not against making profit in a company and being successful within the community. That is what all entrepreneurs strive for.

I am against taking that profit and gaining power to effect legislation. That is wrong morally and ethically in my book. That is what Facism is based upon. The power of the money.

If I am polluting the air with my technology, I am responsible to clean it up ASAP. That is such a common sense statement that most who read it would laugh that anyone would have to say it. We all believe in personal responsibility but there are people that will take advantage of that position for their own benefit.

Those that should have cleaned up pollution when they detected it but let it accummulate because of their profit line should not only be held accountible for their lack of standards but also for their pollution clean up. If that puts them out of business then so be it. Another company, another entrepreneur will come immediately and put those people back to work. That is the way it is supposed to work but with so many special interest groups attached to the rule makers we have compromise in the market place where it should not be.

We are allowing compromise in health issues for our country in favor of profits and foreign policy. We are allowing compromise in our safety in favor of other interests. We are compromising our value in the world market. This country's technology and skills is being syphoned off by everyone else. We have the world sending their people to be educated in the best schools available, this country, and then going back to their country and using those skills to take jobs and industries away from our country.

In the meantime our "government" is trying to gain more and more control over us. They are so involved in that goal that they are not paying attention to the flow of value out of our country.

I read a prophecy more than 20 years ago that seemed rediculous to me then but much closer to reality today.

It stated that our country was going to lose it's position and influence in the world somehow. I thought at the time that it would take an awful big thing to happen. No way the US would lose their influence because we were such a strong and righteous country and the world looked at us for guidence.

Now look what has happened. Politics in this country is very bi-partisan when you look at the facts. Who is responsible for the situation that we find ourselves in as a country? Both parties. It is almost like the "good cop" vs "bad cop" scenerio where each party has agreed to be one or the other depending on who is in the majority seat. Forget the bias of each party affiliation and really look into the different associations and confederacies within Congress. They are not always at war with each other, quite the opposite. They are cooperating in their goal of becoming entrenched, sucking off of the federal teat. Once you become a house or senate member you qualify for the golden parachute set up by the past members of Congress.

Both parties are guilty of ineptness or was it on purpose?? Is the "New World Order" something to be taken seriously? Do the powers in charge of our country really believe that the US is the country to bring the New World Order to fruition?

In this prophecy, no longer were we the Super Power that could push the rest of the world around. We end up in a position of having to cooperate with the powers that emerge. At this time it looks like the power will be either China or China and others(Russia perhaps or maybe the Arab nations unite with Russia and China.) Anything is possible once we get to a point of insignificance in the world arena. That is when the Anti-Christ will show his or her face. They will become the world leader and have all of the answers to the world's problems and everyone will love this person for their leadership and their compassion.

Any way one cuts it, this country is losing it's position of authority in the world right now. We have no moral high ground for the war in Iraq. We are losing our will in Afghanistan and facing the melt down of the Middle East today.

We had the world with us when we invaded Afghanistan after the attack by Osama Bin Laden and his Saudi cohorts and we could have made a major success in the Middle East region as a result.

Instead Bush/Cheney - Cheney/Bush took us into Iraq.

Common Sense thinking has to question why did the timing have to occur the way it did?

The only answer that makes sense is the powers wanted the world to turn against us to allow some other entity to take over the leadership of the world. There was no other way it could occur. We were successful at first in Afghanistan and would have been heralded as heroes if we would have finished the job. There was a reason to keep that from happening and we don't know what that reason was...yet.

Why has this happened?

Because WE THE PEOPLE have abdicated our power to the politicians in Washington, DC and in our own front yards. Our city councils, county commisions and other local political theatre is being played out by these phoney political hacks and we allow it. Why? Is it because we have so much other things to worry about that we can't be involved? What is it that causes us not to take responsibility of our government?

Do you know who your local politician is? The one that is setting milage rates for property taxes? School taxes are being paid by the younger of our generations while the elderly become a burden on society because of our political hacks that have been in charge in the past few years. Back when our parents and their parents were in charge it changed and the crooks were allowed to get involved in setting the agenda and passing the laws. Now those crooks run every government in this country. Every county commission, every city council, it seems as though the only ones that volunteer for these jobs are the "hacks".

All of the laws governing the "everyday joe" of our country are made by these individuals. We can no longer sue our doctors if they do something avoidable to us because they have the insurance and law on their side thanks to the latest legislation passed and signed into law.

We can no longer solve our financial problems the same way as before when we were allowed to soften the blow by going through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy was never allowed to be something that it has been labeled in the recent past. Bankruptcy was the last resort before going completely broke and homeless. It saved many people from being on the street by limiting the amount of their actual worth that could be taken and distributed to debtors.

Now an individual does not have the same opportunity thanks mostly to the legislation passed unanamously by Congress from 2000 til now. Our ability to claim bankruptcy has been severely limited and when we do have to solve our financial problems such as the ones discussed, we have to go through so much more than before to solve the problem it is almost impossible for the everyday person to do but corporations can still do it as easy as before the new laws.

More "professionals" are taking their fees as they become involved. That is what most legislation passed in the last decade does, allowing attorneys, doctors, and others to get more money and slowly depleting the funds from the middle class.

Now is the time, the election of 2012, for THE PEOPLE to take our country back from the crooks. Vote them down and out!!

We can do it. But we have to be ready for one hell of a fight. The political parties are very strong. They have so much money at their disposal.

Can you imagine what we as a nation could have accomplished with the billions of dollars being spent on this election and on the war in Iraq? We could take the money spent on commercials on television alone and feed all of the starving people in this country for several months.

We need someone to take over the helm of our country that can lead us to success in the future. We do not have to be this Super Power to have influence. We can have some of the best technology in the world and no one will try and take over our country. We have to be strong but not overpowering.

We need to understand that the media is in this for the money. The media does not care whether you are Republican or Democrat. They will cause controversy in order to have it on their network. There is no telling where they will go with this type of approach to controlling the information you receive.

There is bias in the media but it cuts both ways. We just need to get more involved and more vigilant to protect our liberties and freedoms for the future generations.

Executive Previledge ? What is that?

What in the world does Executive Previledge mean? Is that just something these latest Presidents have made up for their own agendas?

We The People better watch very closely between now and the 2008 elections. Neither Party can be trusted.

Word is there is a third party candidate ready to step out. Who could it be? What Party?

Would Al Gore leave the Democrats and become an Independent and run on that ticket with Liberman as his Vice again? Will Al Gore start a new Party? Will Gingrich run on the Republican label or will he have another Party in mind?

Bob Barr might run on the Libertarian ticket. Who would be his Vice? Some say a changling from the Republican Party could go over to the Libertarian Party and become the Vice for Barr.

Independent or Libertarian? Which will come forward to claim their spot as a viable third Party in an atmosphere where The American People feel as if they have no good choices when elections come around.

"I am voting for the lesser of the two evils" is often the reason given for voting at all.

We feel as citizens of our country that we should vote and it is very frustrating when there are no choices that you want to vote for.

It is dishartening when you hear someone say they could not raise enough money to run in an election.

Money should never be the reason a person is viable. Just because someone has a lot of money does not make them trustworthy nor common sense smart.

State lotteries have made instant millionaires of many people across the country each year. Some of them cannot tell you where to vote in their town.

When this country was organized it was done by financially rich Masons. This country was an experiment in Capitalism and what these gentlemen thought of as the New World Order. The idea was to set things up to appear to have elections held across the country to elect local, state and federal government.

That is not what the founding fathers had in mind. They had in mind a combination of political agendas that would yield a nanny world with a bunch of consuming sheep living in it. Not blatant corporate facism but subverted. Create a need and then fill the need. The pharmaceutical companies are great at this technique.

They create a disease for doctors to diagnose and they creat the drug for the doctor to prescribe. The process is amazing when you look at it from all perspectives. It is most dangerous when it comes to children and the drugs they are administering to them.

No one can make me believe that all of a sudden we have this epidemic of children that need drugs to calm them down. I understand there are learning disabilities but they can be overcome and without drugs. It takes work on the parent's part and there is where the problem comes in. We have either lazy or uneducated parents in charge of kids that have no clue. That is the next generation that will be in charge of things in the future. Does that scare the crap of anyone else besides me?

More later.....

Are all other political parties being ignored by media?

It kind of strikes me odd to see how little if any attention other political parties. Has anyone heard about the Libertarian Party candidates for the national ticket? How about states wide has anyone heard about their local Libertarian candidate?

How about Green? Reform? Socialist? Communist? Independent? We know of some Independent politicians so where does their party stand on the issues? Is there really an Independent Party? It seems as though the party exists but where is it's representatives.

Is Joe Libberman really a member of the Independent Party or do politicians just take that label if they cannot get their own party's endorsement?

That is the only "third party" name that gets through to the media. Everything else is pretty much ignored. Mr. Whiner as I call Joe took the Independent label to get elected knowing he could never get some of the Republicans that he knew supported him to vote for a Democrat. He had to move over to the Independent.

The Democrat Party knew all about this and went along with the whole thing right down to having a "Democrat" candidate oppose him in the run-off. It is all a show put on for the "American People".

That is what we are you know. Every politician seems to know what we want, what we are thinking, what we would like in the future... they seem to know everything about "The American People" cause they are always saying what the American People want is so and so. I get tired of hearing that because no one has asked me what I think or what I want. I am an American People. I deserve to be asked but nooooo..... they just want to think they know what "the American People" are thinking.

The funny thing about it is our politicians cannot be farther(further)? from the truth. We don't want what they say we do. We don't ask for the legislation they put forth.

No one that I know said to their Congressional representative "I want legislation that will limit my ability to come back from a bad financial decision and live a decent life again" and yet that is what one of the laws signed into law by GW has done.

The new bankruptcy law that was shoved through by our politicians limits our ability to enter bankruptcy but allowed all of the big corporations to go bankrupt just before the law came into effect(ie. Delta Airlines).

They have had time to find ways to circumvent the new legislation so corporations are free to go bankrupt if they feel the need but you and I are restricted in many ways making it much harder for us to be able to use the same 'stop-gap' measure to renew our lives.

There is other legislation passed taking your rights and freedoms and bending them to shape what the government needs to keep you in line with the status quo. That is my take on everything.

Lets hope that within the next couple of years a third party will unveil itself to be just as powerful and charismatic as some of the other candidates and give the major two parties a run for their money, so to speak....

by for now

Government In Your Life Again

Can you imagine a government that would mandate all young girls of a certain age put a particular drug inside of their body before they will be accepted into public schools in our nation?

That is what is happening around our country right now. State after state legislators are acting as if they know better than God about how to deal with negative results from having multiple partner sex during early puberty. Those girls that are doing this are being destructive in their lives putting their health at risk of cervical cancer brought on by the HPV. This cancer comes from the sexual activity of the girls that choose sex instead of abstenence.

Parents are supposed to sit down with their young girls and discuss the results of being reckless with their sexual lives. There are consequences that go along with being permiscous and young girls have been dealing with this for a long time before government decided to get involved.

We do not need morality or ethics legislated we need those to come naturally among the populice. If we legislate morality then how are we to know who to trust? Those that will cheat, they will now be able to hide behind legislation until they are caught. Just like gun control, only the cheats will get ahead and the rest of us will be left holding the moral line and losing the battle. That will breed unrest and anarchy eventually.

What Congress and our state legislators need to do is get off their "high horse" and come down to reality. They are not some kind of gods and they cannot tell us what drugs to put into our bodies. Stand up and be heard by these demi-gods and let them know you are not going to be led down the path of a nanny nation which is exactly what the ultra wings of each side want to see happen.

Stop all mandatory vaccinations with drugs that are not properly studied. Let us not rush into thinking our government representatives have our best interest in mind when they pass laws. Analyze the laws for yourself. Does the law restrict their behavior or just yours? Does the law benefit you or them? Does the law take away their secretive meetings and freedoms or does it restrict your freedom and take some of your inalienable rights away? ( For the good of national security.... )

The latest series of laws passed by the Republican controlled Congress was: Bankruptcy reform so you and I can no longer easily get out of a bad financial situation without enlisting the help of some lawyer that will make his or her living off of people like us. Wait a minute, lawyers made the laws where lawyers benefit? Is that legal?

It is in this country and many other things are happening around us and we only see what the media points out and that is only what is making them the most money for advertisements on their networks. Everything seems to be built around getting screwed out of as much money and as many rights and liberties that can possibly be arranged. And we vote these people back in without a second thought>
