God Built America.

  Much has been made of the Obama,  campaign blunder when Obama, told small business owners that if they owned a business they didn't build it implying of course that no business can  make it on it's own not with out help from the government. As I recall this line of thinking didn't go over too well with  many small business owners. I remember a small business owner saying to me, "Where was Obama, when I was stocking my own shelves at four o'clock in the morning?"  When I think of how great it is too live in America,  as much as many Americans,  may pride themselves for their self reliance and spirit on independence the truth is God,  built America. even Ben Franklin said, " If a sparrow cannot fail without Gods notice can a nation rise without his aid?" All the odds from a human stand point were against America, indeed on July fourth 1776 when America,  declared her independence from British rule at the beginning of what became the American Revolution British navy was the largest navy of it's kind in the world and was advanced beyond all others of it's day. Britain,  had the finest generals and the best military in existence for that day America,  was no match for England,  and yet God,  blessed America,  and this nation grew to become the greatest nation the world has ever known.
  In recent years however. I fear Americans, have forgotten that it was God,  who built this nation and God, who blessed this nation. Far too many Americans,  have forgotten God and instead look to government to supply whatever they may need.Americans had better wake up and soon because I pity this nation the moment God,  decides the people in this nation can go  their own way.When a nation goes it's own way the end there of is the way of death. Americans, need to remember God,  built America,  and God,  can bring this nation to her knees and who knows that may just be what God,  is going to have to do. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Daddy, What Kind Of America, Will I Grow Up In?

  I can not brag of too many great accomplishments in my life. Sadly,  if I were honest perhaps I would have to admit I'm not that smart and I'm not that talented and some people through out my life in the name of being totally honest with me have taken it upon themselves to remind me just how average and ordinary I am. I don't mind really, I'd be the first person to tell you there is nothing necessarily extraordinary about me. I have two things going for me though and I can really be thankful to God for. God,  has given me a very thoughtful wife and a very smart daughter. I know my daughter will accomplish much more in her life than I ever could.
  My daughter,  knows I like politics and she knows I love this country. She has heard me worry about this country especially when I explain to her that America, is 16 trillion dollars in debt. I try to explain that our government must do something about America's debt and soon because if our government leaders continue to do nothing very soon there may not be an America,  anymore at least not like the country I was blessed to grow up in. Recently as I was again explaining all of this to my daughter she stopped me and ask me, Daddy, what kind of America,  will I grow up in? I ask her why she asked such a question and then she said, I just thought if parents love their children won't they do anything they can to keep America,  a great place to grow up in?
  Now,  I ask you, what, could I say to that? I simply said yes if parents love their children they should do every thing they can to keep this country free and strong and a great place to grow up in just like it was when I was growing up. I am amazed that my daughter at the age of ten seems to have more wisdom and knows a great deal more than a lot of the do nothing liberals who freely take all the blessings this country has too offer but feel no obligation or responsibility whatsoever to give anything back for the next generation. Americans have a decision of destiny to make on election day in November. Americans, must decide if they want to reelect Obama, and  continue to take all the blessings from America,  with no feeling of responsibility to take any steps to put anything back in this nation or Americans, can  choose to elect Romney,  and choose to live a bit more fiscally and economically responsibly. As Americans,  consider which presidential candidate to vote for perhaps, they should consider what kind of America, will they leave for their children to grow up in. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain,  just,  some words, to think on.

Can Obama, Lie Once Too Often?

  Ask your self, this question, how many times does a person have to lie to your before you will not trust them? Now,  I ask the American people,  as they consider who they are going to vote for in the next election, how many times must Obama,  lie to them before Americans, choose not to trust him? Obama, said he would cut the nations debt in half by the end of his first term that was a lie he has added an additional six trillion dollars to the nations debt. Obama, said,  his 887 billion dollar stimulus package would keep unemployment at eight percent or below that was another lie,  unemployment has been at eight percent or above for almost 43 consecutive months now and shows no signs of getting any better any time soon.
  Now Obama, says,  if he can just tax the wealthy he can improve the nations economy sorry, but that's another lie even if Obama, could tax every wealthy person at 100% of their total income it would only generate enough money to run the government for eight days. The truth is Obama, wants to start with taxing the wealthy, but he'll get around to the middle class eventually. Some have said that if Obama, has his way the tax rate will be much closer to the proposed tax rate in France. France is a socialist nation right now and the new proposed tax rate there is at 75%. Americans, need to wake up Obama, would already have this nations tax rate at a similar level if he thought he could get a way with it! Obama, lied  to the  American people,  for seventeen days before being almost forced to admit that the attack on the American Embassy in Cairo Egypt and in Benghazi Libya, was indeed,  a planned  terrorist attack and now even many of his fellow democrats,  are demanding a full accounting of what really happened and just when did the president know about it.
  All I know is,  a person only has to lie to me one time and I'll never trust them again. I feel, that if a majority of the American people,  can still choose to vote for Obama, in spite of the proven fact that Obama,  has repeatedly lied to them then I guess the American people deserve to be lied to and this nation will then deserve what ever happens. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just,  some words, to think on.

Obama's Personal Road, Really Hasn't Been That Bumpy.

  You Know, every one's road in life can get a little rough now and then. I'm quite sure it's tough right now for honest hard working people to be unemployed especially now with the holidays right around the corner. I know it's a lot harder to fill your gas tank where I live gas is approaching four dollars a gallon. The prices at the grocery store just seem to keep going up and up a five pound can of coffee particularly a brand name will cost you almost nine dollars to buy it.There is no doubt that economically speaking,  things are tough all over and the road to total economic recovery still for the most part seems long and hard.
  I recently heard President Obama describe the attacks of our American Embassy in Cairo Egypt and Benghazi Libya, as a bump in the road as far as achieving peace in the middle east is concerned I had to ask  myself, Just how many bumpy roads as Obama,  ever really traveled? When I consider that in Cairo Egypt, Christopher Stevens,  who was faithfully serving as an American Ambassador there was shot and killed along with three other brave Americans.  I pray for their families because they are the ones who have to deal with the rough road life has now given them and I am sure the holidays will be very hard for them not only this year  but for years to come.
  Obama, has no room to talk about rough roads bumpy or other wise. He goes on The View,  in stead of meeting with leaders of the middle east. The media,  seems to be on a personal campaign to elect Obama.  all by themselves. The media , has gone so easy on Obama, that they practically wipe his butt and blow his nose  and tie his shoes for him!  Obama, doesn't even attend his daily briefings until recently  he hadn't even attended half of them. Perhaps,  he is just too busy fund raising with Hollywood celebrities or appearing on Letterman,  to be bothered by boring thing like the nations national security concerns.
 Perhaps if Americans,  are wise enough to elect Mitt Romney, then America,  can get on the road of personal responsibility and economic recovery then every ones road may be a little less bumpy. The only bump in the road I truly want Obama, to experience is the bump that bumps him right on out of the White House! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Sometimes, It Just Gets Complicated.

  Have you ever noticed that there are just those times in life when something that should be relatively easy suddenly gets unbelievably complicated. Here is an example, this morning,  while shaving I managed to cut my thumb because I thought I needed  to remove a safety cover off of my razor before  I could shave with it. I diligently used my thumb to try to remove what I thought was the safety cover  from my razor and my hands were wet and I was pushing as hard as I could the cover didn't come off but it did slide up and when it did it took a nice gash out of my thumb. Now this cut was far from serious but it took me two hours to stop the bleeding. The cut wasn't really all that much but I bled like I had cut a main artery or something I think I wouldn't have bled so much if I had just cut my arm off! Here is another example of  something that should be very easy but some how it just gets complicated I just received a new TV remote it's really fancy and it works very well so I decided to program the remote to work my TV VCR CD player. I called the company who sent me the remote and they said programming the remote was very simple.I began pushing the buttons but nothing happened and by the time I i pushed every thing I was told to push I couldn't even control the TV it took three hours but I finally got the remote to control my TV and I decided not to bother with any other function. The whole programming process is supposed to be so simple but I felt like I had to have a Masters,  in electronics or something just to program my remote! Isn't it strange how some things in life that are supposed to be so simple can suddenly become quite complicated.
  Politics has it's share of simple things that just get complicated. Obama's health care is a prime example no one can really say what it will do and what it won;t do. The concept of health care  should be simple Obama's health care however, is so complicated that it is over 2000 pages of hard to understand legal double talk. Nancy Pelosi, said congress would have to pass it in order to know what's in it and Americans still don't know and businesses still won't hire new employees until they do. Romney, wants to simplify the tax code right now that too is thousands of pages of legal double talk that charges most taxpayers triple what it probably should and even a CPA has trouble understanding the present tax code. I hope Romney,  gets elected in November maybe then economically speaking life will be a lot simpler.As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on

Another Dream On Hold

  My wife loves to go window shop. I don't really enjoy this particular activity but it does give me some time to spend  with my wife without my daughter tagging along and asking for every Barbie toy in sight. I know if I go window shopping with my wife at least I'll get some extra walking in and I could lose a pound or two. I enjoy seeing all the great things there are to buy and there are a lot of great deals on quite a few things. There is however just one problem my pockets are empty as usual because once again we had too much  month and not enough money and our credit is stretched a lot further than I would like it to be so,  I guess,  I have to be content to window shop for now and the dream of a new recliner or a new big screen TV will have to be put on hold. I don't mind I can wait.
  The government,  doesn't seem to have the ability to put any thing on hold and liberals in government seemed determined to give nearly anything to anyone who ask provided your not already wealthy.The government is willing to meet all of a persons basic needs.I must admit it sounds like a good deal if your hungry you can get food stamps if you need a place to live you can apply for section eight housing if your out of work the government,  seems prepared to give your an unlimited amount of unemployment benefits. I have even heard of a government program where if your on Medicare and food stamps,  the government will give you a free cell phone. Wow! Isn't it great to live in this country! I hope all the folks who take advantage of these government programs really need them because the fifty one percent of the working American taxpayers,  are paying for them and what they can't cover is borrowed from China, Obama doesn't too worried about the nations sixteen trillion dollar debt but that is a major reason why a lot of hard working folks will continue to put another dream on hold. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.

Mixed Messages.

  The news media,  seems to make a real big deal on what a given poll may mean . One poll may show one candidate a head nationally  while another shows a particular candidate a head in a given state I will admit it's hard to know which poll is right and what to believe.I must confess that some of the information the polls provide is some what con fusing here is what I mean Obama, has about a fifty percent job approval rating but forty eight  percent of the country is thinks the country is on the wrong track and I wonder does that mean that there are 2 percent of the American people, who are not sure which track this country is on? I don;t think that question is one that anyone would be unsure about. Forty seven million people are on food stamps and the government is encouraging more people to enroll in the program despite the fact the US is bankrupt That certainly doesn't sound like America,  is on the right track or heading in the right direction to me.
  Considering all this information I ask my self, why is this election race, so close? The answer is simple since their are more people who aren't working compared to the number who are more than half the country is depending on the government some, are retired of course and living on their earned Social Security benefits but there are others who more than likely could work if they really wanted to and would take any job they could get. The real truth may just be that more people living in America today,  prefer to let the government provide for them. Someone told me recently they didn't care what was gong on with the country right now just as long as they kept  getting their check each month.What really troubles me is the thought that there may be a lot of people living in America to day who really don't care that the country is broke and they won't start to care until their check stops coming in the mail or being directly deposited in their bank and by that time it will be too late to care. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just some words to think on.
