It seems as though the current president has decided to come off of his directive that Congress pass a health care reform bill by the end of the month. Now he’s giving them until the end of the year. It looks to me like the current president may be stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he pushes the bill though early, people are going to be unhappy or even furious because most of our lawmakers will have not read a bill that will affect every man, woman, and child in the United States, and that is sure to increase the deficit and perhaps bankrupt this nation. However, every day he’s loosing support for his totalitarian scheme to take over a substantial sector of the nation’s economy and further control the lives of you and me. It looks like it is lose/lose for him and I hope he loses.
Also adding to special day when we are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the moon landing, The Speaker of the House seems to have changed her definition of “rich”. It was couples making over $350,000 per year. Now she may have changed those figures to $500,000 for a single person and $1,000,000 for a family. These are the unfortunate segment of our society that is targeted to pay for health care reform. As most of us know, San Francisco is a pretty expensive place to live and to visit. In fact, if I was living in San Francisco, doing for a living what I currently do now, and married to someone doing the same thing for about the same money, our combined salary could be around $350,000. In other words, this is middle class. I wonder if her office has been getting some calls.
How in the world did we elect such a bunch? Some of my friends and followers may frown at what I’m about to write. In the state of Alabama, the University of Alabama football team has historically been superior to its cross-state rival, Auburn University. While Auburn has had some success, it has pretty much been while the Alabama was having difficulties. For most of this young twenty-first century, Auburn has dominated as a direct result of the “nightmare in Memphis.” The NCAA handed down horrific sanctions to Alabama that included substantial scholarship losses. During the period when the probation/scholarship losses were affecting Alabama, Auburn seized the day, recruited well, and won. With this behind us, Alabama is getting its groove back. Can you say 36-0, 12-2, champions of the SEC West, the only team to come close to beating eventual national champion, Florida? And Auburn? I can’t remember their record, but they had a losing season and changed head coaches. Who is the world is Gene Chizik?
Back to politics, the democrats got elected and they are in power. They took back the House and Senate in 2006 and took the presidency in 2008. Most mainstream Americans believe that a government that governs less governs best. They also believe that “stuff” should be handled in the private sector or the lowest level of government possible. Most also want a strong national defense and adhere to Judeo/Christian values. Again, how in the world did this bunch get elected? I refer you back to the Alabama/Auburn analogy that I wrote about above. Auburn enjoyed success when Alabama was having problems. The Republicans lost in 2006 and 2008 because they had problems, appearing to lose their way and compromise their principles. With the mainstream media playing this up, folks decided that they wanted a change and voted democrat. So, the Democrats came into power because of problems, perceived or real, that were plaguing the Republicans. If Republicans will stick to their principals and if they don’t have any catastrophes, their fault or not, occurring under their watch, I believe they are elected every time.
It’s beginning to look like the Republicans have a chance to take back the House and Senate in 2010. The Democrats are being Democrats and mainstream America doesn’t like it.

YOU CAN’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
I know the title of this post is a mundane one and something we’ve heard all of our lives. But please continue reading because I think you will find the following paragraphs very interesting.
The current president of the United States believes in big government and that this big government should reach into pretty much every aspect of our lives. He believes that the best way to go is to tax everyone heavily and then provide womb to tomb necessities for the American citizenry. He attended a church for twenty years where many sermons by the minister were distinctly un-American and associated with a domestic terrorist who was responsible for various bombings in the seventies, including the Pentagon, and today regrets not having done more bombing. His wife did not become proud of her country until her husband became the nominee for president of the Democratic Party. There is also some mystery surrounding his birth. In order to run for president of the United States, one must be a natural born citizen. The current president won’t produce a birth certificate. If he’s a natural born citizen, why doesn’t he just produce his birth certificate and say here it is, now let’s move on?
It’s unfathomable that the American people could elect such a person as described above to the office of the presidency. But they did! I know that not everyone is as politically astute as I think I am. A lot of good people just don’t pay any attention. Also, a lot of good people think that politics is a dirty business and that both sides are crooked. Therefore, no matter whom we elect, we’re screwed. A lot of people still get their news from the networks and newspapers. These media outlets do lean left, along with CNN and MSNBC. Because these outlets never reported good news from the Iraq war while putting the bad news on the front pages or as the main story lines. Many times during the eight years of president George W. Bush, there was good news about the economy that never got reported or got buried next to the obits. If I didn’t follow political happenings and only got my information from the networks and newspapers, I would probably have been disgusted with President Bush and the Republican Party in general. Therefore I might have been infatuated by a young man with a nice looking family who promised change. Another plus for this man may have been that he is half black. We haven’t had a black president and it’s about time we did. My point is that some good people may have voted for the current president because of his cover, not realizing what this man is all about inside.
Now that this man is the President of the United States, he passed a stimulus that he said was designed to jump start a sagging economy and create jobs. To date it has done neither and employment has gone up. Now the current president says that the stimulus package was designed to be effective two years from now and that unemployment is going to go up. The current president has also traveled to various countries, apologizing for the past actions of the United States. He apologized for the same United States that fought back the Nazis during World War II, the same United States that brought an end to the Soviet Union in the 1980s, the same United States that has pumped billions of dollars into the nations of the African continent for the prevention and treatment of the AIDs virus, and the list goes on.
Does the man that I have described above sound like an American president should sound? Of course not! I sincerely believe that the current president is un-American. He does not have the best interest of the American citizenry at heart and he does not want the United States to continue to be super power. Instead, he wants us to become more like a European socialist nation. He continues to ignore the fact that this nation was founded on Judeo Christian principles. He refused to participate in the National Day of Prayer and demanded that Christian symbols, such as the cross, be covered before he would speak at Georgetown University. What a piece of work, this current president is!
Because of all of the above, I think it’s so important that we talk to people about what’s going on in our country. I hope the TEA parties continue and attendance increases. I hope that the message can be gotten out that the direction in which this country is being taken by its leaders is a path to the destruction of the United States America as we know it.
Everyday I think about what can I do in Birmingham, Alabama to alert the good people of this nation as to what is going on with its leaders. My congressman and our Senators are going to vote against all of this stuff. I can contribute some money, but my current monetary situation will not allow me to contribute very much. Every little bit helps, though. I can also try to make contact with other people’s senators and congressman. I was actually able to email Ted Kennedy’s office a few years ago. I tried to email Hillary one time, but wasn’t able to do so. Only residents of New York were able to contact her. I can pray and I will.
If I were to suddenly become independently wealthy, I would like to travel to the blue states and just talk to people face to face. Since that’s not likely to happen, I will do what I can and hope ya’ll will also.

WHITE MALES UNDER ATTACK
It looks like white males are under attack. Not long after I graduated from college, I read a quote from some publication that went as follows: “A woman has to do something twice as well as a man to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.” I love this quote and I’ve used it and abused it. I once worked in a small business unit where a co-worker was the manager’s pet. I used to think to my self that I had to do something twice as well as “blah blah” to be thought of half as good. And that was not difficult, believe me! It seems like Alabama has to do something twice as well as Auburn to be thought of half as good in connection with the sports writers in the state of Alabama. What woman hasn’t made remarks about being able to do things much better than a man. I’ve commented many times that if you want something done right, you had better get a woman to do it. You can sure tell that a man did this. I’m also sure that men say the same things behind our backs. I can remember some of the stuff that my Dad used to say. This is all tongue in cheek, of course. It’s banter between the sexes and there’s nothing wrong with it.
Supreme Court Justice nominee Sotomayor has had to answer many question with regard to her comment, “a wise Latino woman…”. I don’t know whether her comment was made “tongue in cheek” or not, but she would be smart to say it was, and that it was just “banter”. Then we could all move on to the real problems with her that have nothing to do with her gender or ethnicity.
Back to white males under attack, I don’t think that the “white people with blues eyes” comment made by the president of Brazil (I think that’s who made it) was harmless. Certain groups that are definitely under attack include white males, conservatives, and Christians. I fall into the white conservative Christian category. I’m also southern and like country music. Can you see Maureen Dowd and me doing lunch? I wonder if that woman ever has any fun.
I used to laugh and tell my liberal friends, and I do have some, that they better not be too anxious to do away with southern white conservative Christians. If we’re extinct, who will they have to poke fun at, because all other groups are “protected”. Ya’ll, I think we will continue to be demonized and degraded as time passes. Years from now, things might not be too pleasant for us, but I don’t intend to change. If you’re reading this and you fall into any of these categories, please don’t change either. We are the good guys.

Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet Wave?
“Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, o’re the land of the free and the home of the brave?” The last phrase in our national anthem is a question and I don’t think that it’s just a coincidence. I think this phrase was put in there so that we Americans, every time we sing the national anthem, will ask ourselves, are we still the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Are we? I can still put my thoughts down on this blog without fear that my door will be knocked down in the middle of the night and I will be taken away, never to be heard from again. I guess I’ve watched a lot of WW2 holocaust movies. However, can some liberal activist happen upon my blog and proceed to run a background check on me and expose any skeletons I may have? That could very well happen, remember “Joe the Plumber”. So, do I have freedom of speech? No, I don’t. I’m taking a chance when I post to my blog for all the world to see.
Do I have freedom of religion? As a Christian, my freedom of religion is disappearing. I can still go to church or not go to church, but I am subject to ridicule. Our current president refused to participate in the National Day of Prayer. Also, when our current president visited Georgetown University to speak, Christian symbols, including the cross were covered. What’s this all about? It certainly appears that our current president is not a Christian and does not want to be reminded that our country was founded on Judeo/Christian principles because he wants to change all of that. So, will we still have freedom of religion? For everyone except Christians, yes. For Christians, no. We are headed for persecution.
Do I have freedom of expression? Right now, yes. However, I fear that if I keep doing what I’m doing now, I will be stopped. What will happen to me? Who knows? Will I be taken from my home in the middle of the night and subjected to a slow, painful death? I’m not concerned that this will happen tonight. But again, some liberal activist may read this blog, do a background check on me and reveal any skeletons that I may have.
Do I have freedom of assembly? At the present time, yes. I attended a TEA party on July4. Nothing happened to me, but I’m of course called names, such as redneck racist. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
So, do I still live in the land of the free and the home of the brave? For right now, I still live in the land of the free. Do I still live in the home of the brave? Yes, our brave men and women are fighting in the name of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. Are the liberal pantywaist leaders of this country brave? NO. Are they poised to take us down to the level of a socialist/passificist nation? ABSOLUTELY!
Enjoy your day, because it won’t get any better. If the republicans are not able to take back the House and the Senate in 2010, I’m afraid we are doomed.

It's Closer than You Think
According to Newsmax.com, former Vice President Al Gore told a British conference on the environment that the energy tax under the so-called cap-and-trade legislation in Congress would bring about global governance. Gore, whose film documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," on the claims of global warming won him praise from environmentalists, told the forum that Obama had secured billions of dollars from Congress for renewable energy work. But, “It is the awareness itself that will drive the change,” he said. “And one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governnance and global agreements.”
This should give everyone of us chills. It’s just the next step to a one-world government. We’re heading that way and I’m afraid that it’s going to be sooner rather than later. This one-world government will control every aspect of your life. Not only will it control your healthcare, it will control what you eat, what you drive, if you are indeed allowed to drive, what kind of house you live in, what news you get, and the list goes on.
Our country’s leaders, including the current president, the speaker of the house, and the senate majority leader do not want the citizens of the United States of America to prosper. They want to take this economy down, they want as many of us to loose our jobs as possible. When we loose our jobs and face financial ruin, we won’t have healthcare. Therefore, when the socialized medicine carrot is dangled in front of us, we’ll be so desperate that we’ll bite. We’ll then be willing to turn over everything we have to the government in exchange for health care and other necessities. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” And who decides our abilities and our needs…the government of course.
If you haven’t read the Book of Revelation, I suggest you do so.

A Little More on Nationalized Healthcare
It’s been a week since I’ve posted something; and when I began writing this blog, I indicated that I would try to post something every day. Well, we know that’s not happening. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say. With so much going on in the world, there is certainly enough to post about, but I think I’ll talk about healthcare.
According to former Clinton advisor, Dick Morris, in a July 9 article in NewsMax.com, the current president’s proposal for health care reform will repeal Medicare as we know it. Senior citizens, a group that currently has the best access to healthcare, will now have the least access to healthcare.
With the rationing of healthcare and the government making the ultimate decision on what procedures you can have or not have, could the government deny a sixty year old woman treatment for breast cancer in favor of a thirty-five year old woman. It looks that way. Could an eighty year old with a broken hip be denied therapy that would make him or her mobile again? Shortly before my Dad died, he had hip replacement surgery and had excellent therapy afterwards that allowed him to walk like he was twenty years younger. Would he have been able to have the same care under a nationalized healthcare system? Probably not, and he would have experienced pain and immobility for the rest of his life.
In his same article Dick observes the irony of the facts that the elderly hounded George W. Bush when he proposed changes to Social Security that would have no effects on their benefits, but are strangely silent about the current president’s proposed healthcare reform doing away with Medicare. AARP, the liberal senior citizens group has been silent. What gives with these folks? Of course we know “what gives” with this group who claims to look out for the best interests of the elderly. It’s the same thing “that gives” with NOW in not coming to Sarah Palin’s defense when she was so viciously attacked during her Vice Presidential campaign or in not coming to the defense of Paula Jones and Juanita Broderick when they alleged sexual harassment by former President Bill Clinton. It’s the same old double standard that we conservatives live with day in and day out. I get frustrated, very frustrated.
Because this southern white conservative Christian woman has no one to help her fight her battles, I’ve had to fight them myself and that is what has made me strong.
By the way, Senator Finestein, do something with your hair. That fifties “roller-do” needs to disappear and never be seen again. In the twenty first century, who does hair like that anymore? Maybe she does it herself. I might be willing for a few of my tax dollars to go to finding her a hair stylist that will give her a new “do”. Looking at her is really painful.

JULY 4th TEA PARTY
On the evening of July 4, I attended a TEA party that was held at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Pelham, AL. It was quite an experience for me since I have not been politically active in a while. Was this a protest? If so, I think it may be the first protest in which I have ever been involved.
Protest or not, this was a great event and I hope that these events will continue and more individuals will take the opportunity to attend. The only review that I have read about the TEA party was on a local TV station’s website. This website indicated that several hundred had attended when indeed it has been over 3,000. The attendance was announced because it was anticipated that the press would downplay the event in any manner that it could.
Conservatives have an undeserved reputation of “being angry”. Not last night’s bunch! Everyone was smiling and having a good time. Sure the crowd expressed its angst at the mention of nationalized healthcare, the new energy tax recently passed by the house, our current president’s apologetic attitude when visiting European countries earlier this year, etc. There was one attendee who was carrying a confederate battle flag, but when he was asked to not display it, he complied. For a bunch if “red neck racists”, I thought we were a pretty sophisticated crowd.
Speaking of race, one of the speakers was a black man who gave an excellent speech, and at one point alluded to the fact that conservatives generally don’t care about one’s skin color, with the crowd expressing its agreement. Remember, these are conservatives that mostly live in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area. If there’s any TV coverage, what do you think will be on the tube, the one confederate battle flag, or the crowd agreeing with Kevin that conservatives don’t care about skin color? I think you already know the answer to that.
I’m looking forward to more TEA parties and I would definitely like to get involved in this movement because I’m very concerned about the direction that out nation’s leaders are taking us.

If there’s any TV coverage, what do you think will be on the tube, the one confederate battle flag, or the crowd agreeing with Kevin that conservatives don’t care about skin color? I think you already know the answer to that.
