Many years ago, it was suggested that one way to help curb the skyrocketing costs of welfare would be to require that women be limited as to the number of children that they could have therefore limiting the number of children for whom the government had to pay benefits. The outraged cries of 'that is a violation of a woman's civil rights!!!' could be heard without even trying. Those cries were loud and they came from many, many corners. Yet the president has now proposed that ALL women be sterilized after they have 3 children as a way of reigning in health care costs and I am hearing NOTHING!!!!! I hear NO ONE in outrage crying out about a violation of any woman's civil rights to bear as many children as she wants. I hear NO ONE in outrage pointing out the sexist basis of the comment because it is only women who are targets of sterilization, not men. I hear NOT ONE thing from the MSM about how horrible it is that O has dared to suggest this at all. If it had been a conservative or a Republican who had publicly suggested that this happened, that person would have already been figuratively tarred and feathered and a campaign to destroy whatever career that person had would be under way. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP AND WHAT AN UNHOLY DOUBLE STANDARD!!!!!!!!!!
In case you cannot tell, I am angry. I am so very angry. The longer O is in office, the angrier I get. The more the Congress continues on its course of screwing the people over, the angrier I get. The more that the MSM tries to convince the people that we are just taking comments 'out of context' or that 'we just don't understand the complexities of the situation' or that we are just not being 'patient' enough, I want to scream and knock their heads together. They are arrogant, unfeeling (despite their declarations to the contrary), power hungry bullies who are running rough-shod over us all!!! What really angers me even more, though, is the voters who keep putting these bullies BACK into office. 'But ____ got us money for a new _____.' 'But _____ was so empathetic to my problem when I met with _____.' (Yeah right. I'll bet that if you had asked _____ exactly what your problem was five minutes later, _____ would not even remember having spoken to you five minutes earlier.)
I really want someone to name me just one governmentally run program that works. The military does not count because the military runs itself. Name me just one government program that works, that runs efficiently, that is using every cent of the money that it has wisely. Just one. That's all. I will probably wait a very, very long time for an answer to that one because there aren't any government programs that can meet those criterion.
I pray every day now that the voters in this country will wake up. I pray that the voters, the voters who are not already involved in government in some way, those who are just plain everyday citizens, who work for a living, will be able to see every politician as that politician truly is. I pray that all the political gobbledy-gook that comes out of politicians' mouths, all the double speak, all the outright lies, will be seen for exactly what they are and the voters will vote out all the bullies, all the manipulators, and vote in those who will uphold the Constitution, uphold the rules of the House and Senate, uphold the freedoms given to the people by the Bill of Rights and not keep reinterpreting our founding documents according to their own whims and emotions, and finally those who will actually do what is good for the entire country, not for a few lobbyists, not for special interest groups. This includes repealing all laws that are on the books that are there solely benefiting special interest groups while screwing over the rest of us. This also includes the creation of a citizen's board whose sole purpose is setting the salaries and benefits of all elected officials and if the officials do not do the job for which they were hired (voted in), then they do not get raises. Salaries and benefits shall be based on what is good for the country, not what is good for the elected officials. I would also like to see an amendment to the Constitution that states that all elected officials are always subject to all laws and regulations that they pass. If they are so insistent that socialized health care be passed, they have to be a part of it as well as the rest of us. Also, as a part of this amendment, any elected official that is suspected of illegal activity is immediately suspended from elected duties, cannot run for re-election, and their pay is suspended until the situation is brought to an end. Yes it is harsh. It is meant to be harsh. It is meant to be a deterrent for those elected officials who are truly crooks and yet keep their offices, keep their pay, keep their benefits. Also, no more of this ridiculousness of convicted elected officials being paid retirement. Any elected official who is convicted of any crime at any time, immediately loses all government benefits. Immediately, no exceptions!!
God, You know the shape this country is in right now. You know the hearts of those elected officials in Washington and in the state capitals of every state in the union. You also know what is in the hearts of we the people. Please, God, show us what we need to do to correct the wrongs, eliminate the evils, to do what is really right and good and noble and worthy of praise. Please, God. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Fourth of July
So I attended my first Tea Party today. I had planned on attending one on April 15th until my husband woke up at 2:30am with a heart attack. Needless to say, my plans to attend a Tea Party were steamed away (I know, terrible pun.) Anyway, my 19 year old daughter and I attended the Tea Party held in Washington Missouri today. It was great being among so many like minded people of all ages and walks of life.
Today's Party had less to do with expressing outrage over what has been happening with our government and more about what we the people can do to halt the progression of unconstitutional activities that will do nothing but cost us and future generations more and more money that we do not have. The president has said that the country has no more money. He has also said that the Tax and Ripoff bill that has just been passed will 'necessarily make electric rates skyrocket'. Which means that the cost of everything else will necessarily skyrocket as well. And where does that leave us. Slaves to the government with very little money for even the necessities of life.
That seems to be the plan that O et al (Pelosi, Reid, and all the RINOs and Democrats who voted for Tax and Ripoff and who support all of O's ideas) has had all along. All they are concerned with is power and money----for themselves and no one else. I keep hearing about how O hates rich people. He can't. If he hated rich people he would hate himself, his wife, his daughters, and all his friends. It is other people having wealth, those people who are against what he is for, whose wealth he hates. He is intent on expanding government to unheard of levels in this country and if he is successful, we are all screwed big time!!!!
BUT, I don't think he will be successful and the turn out at today's many Tea Parties and all the people across this country who recognize what he is doing and what will happen as a result if he is not stopped. I also know that he is NOT the one who ultimately is in control. God is in control and God does not support socialism nor government trying to control every aspect of our lives.
In my own prayers and so many times today, I have heard the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." This is one of the few Bible verses that I can more or less quote including book, chapter, and verse, but it is one that I have just recently learned so well. I think that it will become one of my favorites. God promises us that when we seek after Him and focus our minds on Him, He will take care of us. God never breaks His promises. We need to pray unceasingly for our country.
We also need to speak the truth unceasingly. One of the 'tricks' that O and his bunch have used time and time again, is to tell their lies over and over again. Unfortunately it is true that if a lie is repeated often enough, people begin to believe it. Well if it works for lies, it will work with the truth. We need to keep repeating and keep repeating the truth until people see it and believe it. We can't just sit around and wait. Sitting around and waiting will cost us our freedoms and our country.
The other thing that we need to do is to seek out and support conservative, Constitutionally minded, this is a Republic not a Socialist state minded candidates to elect to office. We may even have to consider running for office ourselves. The first office that anyone at all can even volunteer to fill is that of precinct committeeman or captain. Every state in the union has such a position available and there are so many unfilled positions right now that all it would take for most folks is to contact the Republican Party Central Committee Chair of their county and ask to be appointed. I did not even ask, I was asked by a man I know if I would be interested. I said yes and the next thing I know I have been appointed as precinct committeeman for my voting precinct. Look up precinct committeeman on the internet for more information about exactly what the duties are and you will be surprised. Then get in touch with the Committeeman Project.
It is time for all good people to come to the aid of their country so that we can fight off the socialists who are trying to take over the government. WE CAN DO IT!! But we have to put forth the effort and fight or we will find ourselves enslaved by those who are supposed to be working for us.
