America's Future Is At Best, Uncertain.

    The American people,  have now spoken, It appears, that a majority of  Americans,  have decided that they prefer more government involvement in their lives. It  would seem it is easier for most, to expect  government, to provide everything for them. rather than to take at least some of the responsibility to provide things for one's self. I am left  to conclude then that America,  is content to become a secular nation and prefers to be more like the countries of Europe.
  There is an old saying that says,  be careful what you wish for you might just get it.I suppose America, has decided that since she would rather be more like the countries of Europe that government will now be God, in America. I am not surprised at this development. The truth is America, really hasn't cared what God thought for a long time now. God,  has been rejected in our courts,  rejected in our schools,  rejected in our government,  and even dare I say it absent,  in many of our churches. One can almost imagine God,  saying to America, so be it. If Americans,  would substitute government  in the place of God, then when they ask for more from the government,  then that is exactly what they can expect more taxes, more debt, more unemployment,  more regulation, more more poverty, more economic uncertainty. Yes,  our nation shall surely have move of these problems to contend with in Obama's second term. I must also conclude, Americans,  have no reason to expect God,  to spare this nation from the total economic collapse which I believe is surely coming.
    I wept for my daughter,  last night. I also wept for my country. I wept, because I know now America, has changed and she will never again be the strong and independent nation she has been until  now. I wept,  for my daughter,  because I can no longer be assured,  that she will have a bright and secure future. I wept, because I don't recognize America, any more for  this is most certainly,  not the same country I grew up in. I have no bright hope to offer to anyone who reads these words. I can only suggest, that all  who are Christians,  in this nation take comfort in the fact God, has allowed what has happened in America, to accomplish his will and I believe the faith of many Christians,  is about to be truly tested. Speaking for myself,  I hope I am prepared for such a test. I and all who are Christians, can take comfort in this one unshakable truth God is, and does,  rule in the affairs of men and true Christians,  know God,  is with them and will take care of then according to his will therefore,  what ever happens in America,  in the days to come Christians, must follow the example of Jesus, and say in their  heart to God,  not my will but thine be done for I can assure Christians, everywhere across this nation God's will,  will be accomplished . as always, my friends, these thoughts  remain, just some words to think on.

Rebirth Or Ruin? A Day, A Decision, A Destiny.

    Last night I quietly slipped into my daughters room and gazed upon her while she lay sleeping. As I continued to observe her peaceful slumber I marveled at the way she was totally oblivious to the world and I wondered what she might be dreaming about. She always tells her mother and I that when she grows up she wants to be a doctor or a nurse and she says she wants to have a good job so she can buy a big house so that her mother and I can live with her someday. I think she says these things for two reasons. Each day she sees how hard her mother works at our local Walmart, and how tired she is when she comes home. Her Mother and I always tell her to study hard in school so she can have a good future so that one day maybe she won't have to work as hard as her mother does. The other reason she wants her mother and I to live with her I suppose is be cause of me. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and in addition to that physical challenge I have taken a fall or two in my life that has resulted in major physical damage all through out my body and as a result I can only walk a short distance and any type of movement is very difficult for me. I help my daughter with her homework but once in a while she has seen me lose my balance and fall and when that happens though it hurts I try not to show it because each time I trip and fall it scares her.My daughter, wants to be a nurse or a doctor so that she can take care her mother and I when we get too old to take care of ourselves Just last night she told us "Don't worry mommy and daddy, when I grow up I will take care of both of you and  you won't ever go to a nursing home because one day I'll take care of both you and mommy just like your taking care of me now." As I turned my head,  so that she would not see the tears of love I had in my eyes for her because of what she had just t said, I knew I had been blessed my God, to have a daughter with a heart big enough to love the whole world.
    Today,  after months of campaign adds, more phone calls,  than I even ever  thought were possible from election volunteers calling to make sure I was going to go vote for one candidate or another I,  along with millions of other Americans,  will go vote. I will vote for Mitt Romney, and the reason I will vote for him is because I want to make sure my daughter, is going to continue to have her chance to grow up in this country blessed by God,  we call America.I want her to have the equal opportunity to achieve  any part of the American dream she she desires. I know that in America all someone needs is an opportunity and a dream and a heart and soul that is willing to work for it.Obama 's vision for America, will  is a vision that will lead to America's economic collapse to put it simply Obama;s policies of over spending and massive debt will lead to Americana's ruin. Four more years of Obama, will be four more poor years and thus seriously jeopardize my daughter's future. Romney,  with his plan for responsible economic management built on less government and more personal responsibility and freedom will encourage investors to have confidence in the nation's economy and as a result new  businesses will start and existing businesses will grow. Romney, offers Americans,  a real chance for for America,  to experience an economic rebirth. I believe Romney's policies and vision for America will assure that  my daughter will have a future and her chance to achieve her part of the American dream. I encourage every  American,  who will cast their vote today to please vote wisely because the choice you make will determine your children's future. I don't know what my daughter will eventually grow up to be one day, I don't know if  her mother and I will one day live with her in the  big fancy house  she envisions,  right now but I know I want my daughter,  to go as far as her dreams and will to work for them,  will take her. Thus,  for the sake of my daughters future and for the future of children everywhere across this nation I will cast my vote for Mitt Romney,  and I pray a winning majority of Americans will choose to do the same. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.

Voting, What Difference, Does It Really Make?

  There's an old joke that illustrates how many in this country feel about voting. The joke simply poses  this question to a man on the street and the joke goes something like this. "Pardon me  sir, I am told the  two major problems in the world  are ignorance and apathy what do you think? Without much thought the man on the street replies,"personally, I really don't know and I really don;t care. As much as I hate to say it I find there are a number of people in this country who feel this way about voting. One neighbor of mine even said to me, why should I vote? What difference can my one vote make? His question intrigued me, so I decided to do a little research to see if there were real political elections or issues that really were decided by one vote. As it turns out,  a great number of political elections or issues,  were decided and passed by one vote. Here are but a few examples. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson, was elected president, by one vote in the House of Representatives, after a tie in the electoral college. In 1846, President James K Polk's request for a Declaration of War against Mexico, was passed by one vote. In 1868, President Andrew Johnson, was impeached but not convicted because the Senate, was one vote shy of the necessary two thirds required.In 1876, Samuel Tilden,  won the presidential popular vote but came up one electoral vote shy and lost to Rutherford B Hayes. In 1962, the Governors, of Maine Rhode Island, and North Dakota were elected by an average of one vote per precinct.
  Yes, one vote can make a difference but there are even more important reasons why as Americans, we should all vote if we are able to do so. I wonder if most Americans,  realize that voting is the essence of American independence? Why do I say that? The American Revolution,  began because the colonies were not represented in English Parliament therefore the had no vote and  King George,  was free to pass The Tea Act of 1773  which placed an unjust tax on the colonist tea. The colonist then responded,  with a revolt that took the form of the now infamous Boston Tea Party,  from whence the modern day Tea Party that was formed in 2010 derives it;s name. The colonist of 1773 began  a pubic out cry and their slogan of no English taxation without representation became the the rallying cry that eventually sparked the American Revolution,  that gave birth to this nation. The act of voting, is a symbol and the very essence of a free democracy. but if your still wondering why every American, should vote consider this. When one exercises the right to vote they in affect  say thank you,  to the countless thousands of brave men and women everywhere who died  in numerous  wars across the globe   to make sure that the right to vote and hold  free elections would be preserved for now and for future generations
  Finally,  let me make this appeal to anyone who may still feel that voting is a waste of time. If as a free American, one is  just too lazy and pathetic to get off their  lazy  backside and go vote then as far as I'm concerned,  one  may as well go to every military veteran's grave and spit on it because when one is  free and healthy and able to vote and one  does not  in affect,  that is exactly what one does  and I have no doubt  these same type of  individuals,  will be among  the first to complain about the results of an election if they don't approve of a given government policy or procedure and speaking as a person who knows one does not have to vote and realizes that all Americans,  have freedom of speech if anyone should read these words and is able to vote and still decides  not to vote please don't use your freedom of speech around me to gripe and complain because I just probably won't know what your problem is and I can assure you I won't care. Hear me Americans for Haven's sake  go vote! As always, my friends, these words remain, just some words to think on.

Vengeance, Makes Even The Mightiest Man, Fall.

  As I listened to President Obama's latest speech, I couldn't help but think to myself,   my, how the mighty have fallen. When candidate Obama, ran for president in 2008 even I must admit, he was quite impressive. Here was a man whose ability to give an inspirational speech left huge audiences almost spellbound. Obama, preached about  hope and change and the need for a civil discourse in Washington. He was going to be everyone president. There would be no more red and blue states. He would unite  the nation and truly be the President of the United States.
  Fast forward,  four years later and it now seems,  that the presidential candidate Obama, once so full of high ideals and so determined to change the the gridlock that so often prevails in Washington, once he became President Obama, it now appears that instead of changing Washington, Washington and the power of the presidency changed Obama. When I consider the notable change in Obama over the last four years, I am reminded of these words of wisdom from President Abraham Lincoln, he said the following: "Any man can stand adversity,but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Over the past four years Obama,  has developed such a thirst for power that he often goes around congress and dares to make appointments when congress is out of session by  abusing his power as president  though excessive use of executive orders to accomplish his personal agendas all in the name of doing what he thinks is good for the county however I have noticed that many times over these past four years Obama,  never bothered to ask the American people,  what they thought about anything. Obama,  basically pushed his own personal agenda through Congress, and then told the American people,  it was good for them and that sometimes they had to take their medicine or eat their peas. Obama care,  serves as as a shinning example of how Obama,  seemingly, ignored the will of the American people,  and in affect literally crammed his health care down the throats of  all Americans.
  The most disturbing development in Obama's personality,  is his  talk of revenge and his need to seek vengeance,  on those who wold oppose him. It is one thing to honestly disagree with an opponent's political positions on certain issues,  it is quite another  for one to encourage his supporters,  to vote for him as a means of accomplishing personal revenge against an opponent.When I heard Obama's speech last evening, what I heard,  was a bitter self absorbed angry old man if fact,  it is quite striking,  how his   obsessive  thirst for power has truly aged Obama.
  The Bible,  warns against an obsession for vengeance. Romans 12;19 says, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay saith the Lord." Obama,  should leave vengeance in God's hands for such a desire left unchecked can destroy a person. It has been said,  that absolute power corrupts absolutely,  and this has indeed happened to Obama,  and I think most Americans,  now see this,  and this character flaw,  will lead to Obama's downfall on election day for if it doesn't lead to his down fall, reelecting Obama, I believe,  will lead to the downfall of the nation. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.

America, One Time, One Choice, One Destiny.

  The story is told of a king in the Middle Ages,  who finding himself advanced in years decided to pose a most perplexing question to his son a young prince that the king knew would in a relatively short period of time rule after him. The king needed to know if his young son would be ready to rule in the advent of his death. The king called his son to his thrown to stand before  him. He then told his young son that he had a question he wanted to pose to him and his answer would tell the king if he was wise and ready to rule in the advent of his death. The young prince listened  as his father the king asked, "What is the one thing in the world that once a man has lost it it can never be regained?" The prince,  thought for a moment and was about to say honor but then he realized with diligence and honest deeds a man may regain his honor. The the young prince then considered wealth but as he thought of this he realized a man may loose wealth but with careful management and planning a man's wealth could be regained. As the king continued to wait for the young prince's answer after a long pause the young man looked at his father and said, the answer my king is time for once lost one can never regain time once it is lost. The king smiled and said,  "You are wise my son and ready to rule and when I die I can be at peace for now I know I will have left my kingdom in good hands."
  America is facing a decision on November the sixth  that will forever change  the destiny of this nation and the time to make this decision is short and if Americans,  make the wrong decision America' time as a  major world influence may be very short indeed. If Americans, , choose took elect Mitt Romney, the I believe America's future as a nation with strong world influence will have a much greater possibility to continue under the proven leader ship of Mitt Romney. On the other hand,  if Americans,  choose to reelect Barack Obama I believe America's days as a major world influence may be numbered. Obama, has nearly broken America's back with debt and she is already faltering beneath  the load of over spending, too much government regulation, massive over entitlement,and with the looming threat of a weakened military  which threatens the nation's security it would seem that Obama is trying to break the will of the American people and the sad truth is he may just succeed.
  This dos not have to be America's final destiny.   Should Americans,  choose to elect Mitt Romney,  then I  see a stronger economy almost immediately. I see America,  begin to regain world respect, through a strengthened military and that will most certainly improve the nations national security. I see a real chance for new small businesses to be created and thrive and I see better jobs for everyone who would be willing to work. The question is then since we the people have a chance to determine our own destiny as a nation I wonder if after the election will will be able to tell the future generations who will come after us that we left America's future in good hand? I pray it will be so. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

It's Nothing Personal, It's Just My Business!

  Four years and just days,  before the end of  Obama's  reelection Campaign, It now seems that it has finally occurred to Obama, that he just do something to help the nation's struggling economy particularly in the area of business. I find this deep concern for the nations businesses to be a bit sudden. It's not as though America's small businesses haven't had major problems over the last four years but I guess the need to get reelected has forced Obama to finally get around to it.I  am glad that Obama, suddenly realized that there are more businesses in this county that he needs to help besides the auto industry. Perhaps small businesses across this nation would see more help from Obama if all the small businesses would get together  and form some kind of union then Obama would have to do some thing for them or at least appear to in order to get their vote.
  Obama, has decided that if the American people,  will just agree to trust him and elect him for another four years he's really going to give business in this country a real shot in the arm by appointing a new position in his administration and the position will be appropriately  called Secretary of  Business well , why not I mean we all ready have a Sectary of Commerce,  that is if Obama, ever gets around to filling that position  it has been open for four months now Obama really doesn't get in much of a hurry these days  in fact the only time he ever was in a hurry over the last four years was when he shoved his  2300 page health care bill through congress in three weeks before anyone could read it and since his  health care law was passed it seems the only time Obama,  gets in a hurry is when it's time to spend the American taxpayers money for worthless government green projects or to fund some new entitlement. I noticed he made sure to be on hand for a photo opp with Governor  Chris Christie, and to open up his big government check book funded  of course by American taxpayers.  I suppose it's always good to look presidential just days be fore an election.
  The truth is America,  doesn't need another Czar for business or anything else Obama Obama has had over fifty such Czars over the last four years and I think this Secretary of Business in my mind would just be another Czar we don't need.. However perhaps we could have a new position and call it Secretary of staying out of  my business Seriously though the best thing Obama could do is keep government as much as possible out of small business. Obama,  has over regulated small businesses so much business is practically at a stand still. Besides America, already has a man man interviewing for this position right now and he has proven Business experience. his name is Mitt Romney,  he has built a few businesses and unlike Obama Romney has a lot more experience running something besides his mouth or the nations economy into the ground. Romney, knows that if you have a small business you Did Build That and his policies will help Americans,  build more. I feel that the message American businessmen,  will be sending to Obama, if Romney, is elected will be simply this Obama, it's nothing personal it's just my business! As always my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

A Not So Fair And Oh So Foul An Add I Have Not Seen!

  On the heels of an already morally questionable democratic campaign  add that seems to equate voting for Barack Obama,  with a first time sexual experience, Michael Moore,  master of all things morally filthy and disgusting has teamed up with Move On.org a web site that prides itself in all things political which is often code for a post of sorts that is equally vile and disgusting has chosen  to use senior citizens to threaten republicans more specifically Mitt Romney,  with bodily harm if he and the republicans in their words manage to steal  the up coming election. This so called campaign add shows a ninety seven year old woman threaten to putting it delicately kick Mitt Romney,  in the groin if he and the republicans,  manage to oust President Barack Obama. Another senior citizen says,  if republicans get Romney,  elected when he dies he will look down on all those who voted  for Romney,  from Heaven,  which I think may be a bit presumptuous on his part and watch them while their having sex no matter how kinky, it may be.I know though out all of political history politics has often been a dirty business but this add reaches a new all time low and I suppose it is fitting that the liberal democrats,  would choose to use it because this add so clearly demonstrates their moral stands or at least the lack of them.
  Some how,  over the years in our society we have gotten the idea that dirty is funny and that nothing is funnier than when an elderly person uses foul language to express themselves.The truth is, it's not cleaver or funny it's just dirty.Although I know that the Obama, campaign had nothing directly to do with the production of this add and even if they did they would never admit it I don't hear anyone from the Obama, campaign condemning or disavowing the add and I won't hold my breath waiting for them to do so and their silence on this issue to me is the same as condoning the ad. Is this really the way the liberal democrats want their campaign to be represented? If the answer is yes, then what does that say about liberal democrats?Is there anything more that needs to be said regarding their obvious lack of moral standards?
  I can only say this my dear mother is almost 88 years old and in the fifty years that I have known her I have never and I repeat NEVER heard even one foul word come out of her mouth. She wasn't raised that way and neither was I  This disgraceful add i feel does not represent the majority of fair minded and decent senior citizens in this country at least, I hope not.When I consider the political worth  of this add to stretch a quote from Shakespeare's  Macbeth, A not so  fair and oh so foul an add I have not seen! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
