Who is whispering in Obama's ear?

I haven't posted in awhile. I have been reading and studying the current news and commentary though. At this point I see nothing to raise my spirits about the direction the Obama Administration is taking this country. Obama is a dangerous egomaniac. I know those are very strong words. But how in the world can a man with his VERY limited experience think he knows enough to make such dramatic and intense changes to our society and government. He campaigned on Hope and Change. Well, the change part he has down pat. It is the hope part that is sadly lacking.

The only hope I see in this only thing is the weakening hope that our country will survive this administration. They have only been in office a short time and already there are numerous evidences of corruption, cronyism, and Power grabs. They have nationalized a very important part of the economy (banks, and the auto industry) and they have big plans to nationalize the Health Care industry which makes up 1/5th of our countries economy. Yes, socialism is on the march. Socialism has always been a dangerous and criminal method of throwing power to a few corrupt men. It is not a system that works, but because of it's great promise of power many men and women continue to pursue it.

My personal beliefs are the it is a tool used by that great deceiver, Satan, to enslave men. His ultimate goal is to make men miserable. One important step to this is to take away their freedom, and to subject them to the will of evil and powerful men. Since this is my belief, it is easy to see how I also believe that Obama is a tool for Satan. I don't think he has purposely signed on to do the devil's work for him, but I do believe that Satan is using Obama's extreme self-love to push him to grab for more and more power and world acclaim. Where does Obama's inspiration come from? With his support for extreme methods of abortion like partial birth abortion (and indeed for any abortion), his backing of those who would destroy Israel, and his policies that remove more and more freedoms from Americans, I think it is clear that the one who whispers in Obama's ear is not the Being whose ways lead to peace and happiness, but the one who leads people down a much darker path.

Madam Speaker needs a timeout

When my 4 year old niece lies (as 4 year olds are known to do) she gets sent to timeout. She is placed on a specific spot to reflect on her mistakes and, hopefully, learn a lesson. The timeout doesn't last long, because she is only a 4 year old, and just a few minutes is a long time for a 4 year old. But having to take a timeout is an effective tool that her mother has learned to use with her to help her change her behavior.

I was reading about Nancy Pelosi's recent attempts to extricate herself from her tangle web of deceit and it hit me- "Nancy Pelosi needs a timeout". She needs to be set down in a corner somewhere and be told that her behavior is unacceptable. She needs to reflect on what she has done wrong and how she needs to change her behavior. And since she is a lot older and more responsible than a 4 year old, I would suggest that she needs to stay in time-out for quite awhile.

I would hope that while she is in timeout that she would begin to realize that the great position that has been awarded to her by the people of this country, comes with great responsibilities. Number one is to be honest and forthright with the American people. Her recent attempts to appease her left wing supporters by going along with the idea that there should be investigations and punishments for those that supported waterboarding, when all along, it turns out, she knew about it and supported it herself, gives us a sad look at her lack of integrity.

Who are the people she serves? A few loud mouthed left wing socialists? A wild and idiotic San Francisco citizenry? Or the whole country. She needs to recognize that when she was put into such a position of power, that she was given a great responsibility to see to the well-being of this nation as a whole.

Right now she is paying a huge price for her attempts to hide her own involvement in the "torture" debates. She apparently supported it then, but now wants us to believe that she knew nothing about what they were really doing. I believe she was right to support it then. We were in a time of extreme danger, and that danger was hidden from us. We had to get to the truth, or lose many more American lives. If she did give her approval, as the record indicates, then good for her. It was the right thing to do. But since then she has lost her bearings. She has given in to her baser instincts to try to destroy and get revenge on the past administration, and at the same time, try to distance herself from any responsibility for harsh measures that were taken in the pursuit of information. As a result she has lied repeatedly and tried to claim that the CIA and others are lying. So for that she needs some serious time in timeout.

She needs to be removed from her position as Speaker of the House. We now know that she will lie and deceive if it will give her the applause she craves from the looney left. She will destroy others, for her own self-preservation, or simply for revenge. Maybe some time sitting in the halls of Congress, as a regular member, thinking about what she has done wrong, will help her learn a lesson or two. But more importantly to the country, we will get that lying, deceiving, vengeful, and untrustworthy woman out of such an important political position.

Justice or Empathy

Barrack Obama has stated that he will select a judge based on whether he or she has empathy. This is the exact opposite of what a judge should be judged by. The important roll of judges is to decide based on the rule of law and the constitution. Not on sympathy or empathy with specific groups or causes.

I see Obama's stated plan on how he will select a judge a disaster for this country. One of the things that happens when judges are confirmed is that they are questioned on how they interpret the law. If Obama's criteria is that they will overlook the rule of law to rule in favor of specific groups then we are in deep trouble. The basis and foundation of our society will crumble under such corruption by the third branch of our government.

America on the brink

I fear for my country. I fear that we may be digging a financial hole too big to get out of. I fear that we have traded strength and security for a silver tongue. I fear that too many people have no personal investment in the success and strength of this country. They don't pay any taxes, they don't vote, they don't care. I fear that those who do vote, are basing their votes on which politicians will tell them what they want to hear. They don't listen when someone tells them what they need to hear. I fear that there are too many people who look to the false Gods of Hollywood as a guide to their actions.

But America isn't done yet. With God's help, we can overcome this cycle of far left liberal control of our government. There are huge numbers of people in this country that are becoming more and more concerned and even enraged over the dangerous path Obama and his goons are taking.

I believe in peace through strength, Obama believes in peace through nice friendly chats and lots of apologizing. I believe that it is right that the hard working and intelligent and creative, and yes, even the lucky should be allowed to succeed and have more money than me. Obama believes that all incomes should be even, and that people who want to sit on their porch and drink beer instead of getting a job deserve to be supported by those who are putting in the long hard days of work. He believes that those who work and sacrifice and take huge chances and then succeed should only receive as much as the lazy and shiftless. This is societal suicide. People will either be discouraged from making more money, which builds and drives the economy, or they will begin to leave the country

We can still have hope, but things look bad right now. We can't be fainthearted. We must stand up for what we believe in. We must let our voices be heard.

Pandemic Awareness

Lately I have been thinking more and more about our family's preparedness. In our church we are counseled to store food and water and other essentials. We have tried to follow these guidelines with our family. We have been working on updating it recently. One of the things that is always a possibility is a pandemic. With the recent news about a possible pandemic starting in Mexico and now spreading to the USA, I have been thinking again about how important it is to be prepared. If a pandemic starts, there is a very real possibility that authorities could quarantine people to their homes. Are we prepared that we could get by without having to go to the store?

I am not a 'gloom and doom' person, but it makes no sense to ignore the very real possibility that we could at some time face a serious outbreak.

Here is an article about the new flu that is raising fears:
New swine flu likely widespread, experts say.

and here is a link to the Provident Living site:
Pandemic Preparedness Planning

Finally, here is the Link for the government's site:
PandemicFlue.gov

I hope and pray there is no need to worry, but pandemics have been something the human race has dealt with for centuries, and we most likely will again, so it is best to be prepared.

A Great Article

Here is an article that goes well with my last post.
The Obama Doctrine: "Don't Blame Me" by Ben Shapiro

What is wrong with our President?

Dear Mr. Obama
What is wrong with you? Are you really as weak kneed and lilly livered as you appear, or do you really dislike America as much as they say you do? Why would you travel all over Europe and now South America and tell the world how bad America is. I am trying to understand. Is it because you are the product of a dysfunctional family? Is it because you are the product of Chicago politics? Were you that influenced by the hate monger Reverend Wright? What is it from your past that has made you a jiggly blob of jelly when it comes to standing up for America? You should be proudly representing all that is good in this country. You should be telling the world that our people have sacrificed greatly to help many many countries and we stand ready to do so again and again. You should be defending America from her detractors and announcing to the world that this is a country of hard working, honest, intelligent, caring people. When I see your sniveling crawling attitude to the biggest villians in South America I could just throw up. They lie through their teeth and try to blame all that is wrong in their country on us, when it is obvious that their corrupt and socialist ways have led to the disasters they face with their economies and other problems. They present books to you that loudly proclaim that the US is responsible for the problems they have and you just smile and say thankyou. When they try to blame America for any and everything they don't want to take responsibility for, you just smile and say, "I hope you aren't trying to blame me for things that happened when I was 3 months old."
Mr. Obama, you are an embarrassment to all of us. We tried to elect a leader that would lead. We wanted someone that would help America stand strong in trying and difficult times. What did we get? Apparently we got a sniveling coward.
But maybe I have it all wrong. Is this just part of your plan to destroy this country. You early on decided that you had a gift. You had a silver tongue and with that silver tongue you could persuade masses of people to follow you wherever you led, even if it meant remaking America into some kind of weak international underling. Is your plan to take what was once the mightiest, proudest, most capable country on earth and turn it into another 3rd world country? I'm really starting to believe that you have no real attachment to this country. Oh you have said you do. But those were just words to get elected. Your actions speak much louder than your words. You have more loyalty to the idea of the international community than you do to America.
Your wife clued us in when she said, "For the first time in my life, I am proud of my country." For a person to have reached her age and never been proud of this great country, means that she, and by association you, do not like America and think that all she has is faults and evils. You are wrong. Dead wrong. If you can't see the greatness and the selflessness of the American people, then there is no hope for you. You sir are blind to the best and the brightest star this world has.
May God hold you accountable for every move you make that destroys lives (of the born and unborn), that drives more debt on us, and that emboldens our enemies. Believe me, you will stand before the great judgement seat of God and he will hold you accountable. Your silver tongue won't protect you from that judgement, for God will know your heart.
It isn't too late to change. You can turn over a new leaf and begin to protect and defend this country from it's enemies instead of lunch with them and apologize for America.
Mr. Obama...America....Love it or leave it.
A very concerned citizen
