What business should you support?

    
I would like to thank the web site democraticunderground.com for supplying me with a listing of businesses that support the type of government we need to make Wisconsin successful.

Visit these businesses and help make them more successful which in turn will make us all more successful.   Among the businesses which are on the list to boycott by the Dems is Kwik Trip.

Facts liberals don’t want to hear.

·         In a 5,000 year view of climate, global warming is the earth getting back to normal. 

·         Those who have been labeled “radical Islamists” are those who are following the word and the intent of the Koran.

·         There is no separation of church and state in the Muslim world.

·         The real story should be the Muslim world’s reaction to a Florida pastors burning the Koran.   A religion of peace should not be reacting with violence.

·         To the Muslim world, we are barbarians.

·         While we debate the wisdom of constructing a mosque at the site of the World Trade Center, Christian churches are entirely forbidden in Muslim countries.

·         A Muslim sees no difference between a conservative and a liberal, other than they can dupe a liberal more easily.

·         The U.S. is in the middle of a slow Islamic invasion.

·         Some who practice Islam are peaceful, but it is in spite of, not because of, their religion.

·         Inflation adjusted per pupil K-12 educational spending increased 230% between 1970 and 2006 without a demonstrable improvement, and some will claim deterioration in educational results.   Doesn't if follow that if more spending doesn't mean better education than  less spending wouldn't hurt the quality of education?

Two Documents

      
The Bible and the U.S. Constitution are two amazing books / documents.   Both have come under attack for not being relevant because they were written in a different time, for a different audience and are not applicable in our modern society.

Were either of them written based on the technologies of their times?   Were either of them devoted to explaining  their relevance based on the constraints of their societies?  
The answer is no.

Both were written to the address the human condition.   Human's have not changed significantly since the times either was written.   There are no human emotions, strengths or weaknesses that exist today that did not exist at the time of the writing of the Bible or U.S. Constitution.   Because both deal with the human condition they be relevant as long as their are humans.

Any attempt to alter, revise or dismiss them should be met with your full objection.

p.s.   Remember, the U.S. Constitution is a document tells government what it cannot do.   One of the things government is restrained from doing is interfering with religion.   There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that refers to a separation of church and state.   It is a one way restriction.   Religion can and must be an important part of the governing process.   Religion is the only source of moral constraint.   Without religious moral guidelines, government can be nothing other than oppressive and repressive.

Time for a prediction

  
You heard it here first.

If you have noticed, Obama seems to be uninterested in being popular enough to be elected to a second term.   Either he just doesn't get it, or perhaps he has his sights set higher (at least in his own mind) an want to be the next Secretary General of the U.S..

After all, many have said Obama's goals seem very European.   He also seems to give more credence to world opinion than to U.S. opinion.   And, we all know he delights in the big stage and all the attention it brings.

If this does come true what should the U.S. do?  

• First -- kick the UN our of our country.
• Second -- resign all involvement with the UN.
• Third -- stop all foreign aid to countries that choose to remain affiliated with the UN.
• Fourth -- Start a competing alliance of countries that supports freedom and mutual interests.   This alliance shall be only for countries that have common ideals.

Do I hope this comes true?   Not all of it.   I certainly don't want Obama to have a stage to become a world community organizer.   He is so naive, it would be child's play for some despot to manipulate him.

Time to step up

     

It is near the time that we all must step up to stop the madness that is looming on the horizon.   Too many people did not take the time to properly look at the candidates 2 years ago.   

Few realized the speed at which the foundations of our country would be attacked, not with weapons of the physical world, but with ideas so malicious that their intent cannot be misinterpreted.

Obama's goal is to lower us all to the level of the Europeans who are content with being average and controlled.

Think carefully.

Is Obama a Muslim?

      

Ponder this!

• According to most interpretations of Sharia law, leaving Islam is equal to treason and is punishable by death.
• According to Islam, if you are the child of a Muslim man, you are Muslim.
• Obama by claiming to be a Christian has pronounced his own death sentence in the eyes of many in the Muslim world.

Now, how much does the Muslim world trust Obama?

• You can have an many players on the field as you want.
• No need to hire English language translators.   No one speaks English anyway.
• No one will keep score so no one can loose.
• The football will no longer be called a 'pigskin' just in case some of the illegals are not Hispanic (read Middle Eastern).

The importance of the 2nd Amendment

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Keep in mind that the definition of 'militia' is "An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers."   By it's very definition, militia cannot be interpreted as a branch of the U.S. military, even the National Guard.  National Guardsmen are paid for their services.   If you are paid for your services, regardless of what they are, you are a professional.



Let's take a look at some of the views of significant persons in our history and their views related to the 2nd amendment and our right to bear arms.


GEORGE WASHINGTON

• "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." (Address to 1st session of Congress)

THOMAS JEFFERSON

• "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
• "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." 

JOHN ADAMS

• "Arms in the hands of citizens (may) be used at individual discretion...in private self-defense..."

JAMES MADISON

• "Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.. (where) ..the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

BEN FRANKLIN

• "Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

NOAH WEBSTER

• "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed...."

This is only a very small number of the relevant quotations from our historical leaders with regard to the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms.   Search them out and have fun.

Have a wonderful Independence Day.   Be sure you thank those who have preserved it for you.

Let us hear it for the liberal media and their attempt to revise history

I was very disappointed with the wording of the headline in the June 29 La Crosse Tribune “Supreme Court justices extend gun owner rights nationwide”.   

The word ‘extend’ according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary means to increase the scope, meaning, or application of.   The headline implies that the Supreme Court has increased the rights of gun owners.

The Supreme Court merely confirmed that the 2^nd amendment really does mean that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.   The gun ban in Chicago was certainly an infringement of our right as a U.S. citizen.

Also, we should all remember that the purpose of the Bill of Rights is to tell the government what it cannot do.

How opinions are formed

      
A conservative forms their opinions on facts.   If new facts are presented, a conservative will examine the new facts and if they warrant a change of opinion, will do so.

A liberal forms their opinions on emotions.   If new facts are presented, a liberal will not likely change their opinion because they are excessively invested in their emotions.

Real Help

Can anyone tell me why liberals are so against helping those who really need help?

There is only so much money to go around and liberals are satisfied with diluting the funds that should go to those who need help by giving an equal amount to those to merely want help.   This means that those who really need the help to become self sufficient are held back.

I know it is hard work to determine who really needs the help, but if they don't want to do the hard work, then they should stay out of the game.

Maybe they are afraid that someone (or some group) will not like them or they are scared of being seen as insensitive?

I don't get it!

Lazy Christians

Last week I had the chance to talk to a guy carrying a sign stating that Jesus was a socialist.   I asked him why he thought Jesus was a socialist.   He said that Jesus taught that we should take care of one another.   He was using his understanding to explain to me why he thought Obama’s health care plan was a good thing.

I tried to explain to him that Jesus told us we should take care of one another, but it is a personal responsibility, not a corporate responsibility.   (If you don’t know the meaning of the word ‘corporate” used in this context, see a dictionary). 

If Jesus would have intended taking care of one another being a corporate responsibility he would have instructed the Pharisees to raise the temple tax so they could take care of the poor.

Each of us has the personal responsibility to personally take care of one another.   To count on the government to do this is to be a lazy Christian.
