How the cost of Milk will lead to CIVIL UNREST...
Watch where we chase this rabbit.....
HR 875 - Its a bill that will make raising food for the small farmer cost prohibitive and even illegal. This bill can also be made to keep your average suburban soccer mom from growing tomatoes in her back yard.
PLUS:
Treasury is printing money like they never have before.... HERE
These two news items come together over the cost of Milk and should make every American very afraid.
The USA is printing money. They WANT INFLATION to go up....you see, that makes the DEBT that they have already taken out less because they have all these extra dollars. Now, that makes some sneaky sense, but it totally wrecks the average person.
The average person who continues to work and have their debts, now has dollars worth less. The cost of every item will go up in order to adjust to the dollar being worth less.....but the worker is still paid the same.
If you throw in HR 875, the cost of all food stuff as well as a bunch of our other stuffs go up. You see, when a producer has to track every single drop of milk, every single potato, every single pea, every single burger, the cost of foods goes up. The cost of foods will go up to afford this new "safety" system....IN ADDITION, the cost of foods will go up because the dollar is worth less....
So, you buy milk for $3.00 a gallon BEFORE HR 875....it now costs $5.....but the Government is printing money, so that $5 is really worth $1.50, so in order to get the $5 the producer needs to keep his head above water, that gallon of milk is now $15.
FIFTEEN BUCKS FOR A GALLON OF MILK.....but you still make the same....if you make minimum wage, you will need to work for 1/2 a day just for a gallon of milk. And dont even think about milking your own cow....HR 875 makes that a No-No as well....
Add onto this an increase cost of oil that will most likely come in the future and you can add a few more bucks for transportation costs.
HR 875 is not a Farmer's issue....its a "IF YOU EAT" issue. Meaning, everyone in the US should be up in arms the way the Government is going to restrict and control the food supply....does anyone think the Government can make it safer or in any way improve the system?
The fact that the Treasury is printing money is not a BANKING problem or just something that Government's do, it has a direct impact on your life from how you can feed your family, to how much you work, to how you spend your time. When the Government controls money this way, they make you a slave....either you need to take Government monies to feed your family, or you have to work extra jobs to feed your families...either way, you become a slave to the Government.
When people get hungry....when men have no way to feed their families, when a large part of the population has to decide between gas for the car, heat for the house or food for the children, they become VERY DANGEROUS.
All this and I didnt even mention the rise in personal income tax that MUST come....
Our President swore to protect America from ALL ENEMIES, Foreign and Domestic....we should have thrown in the oath for him to protect us from Himself....

Obama playing games and why Confession is good for the Soul (or at least our Country)
Yeah, Obama is qualified to make these decisions....
STORY HERE
So, let me get this straight.....
The COMMUNITY ORGANIZER who has never been in business, ran a business or even worked for a private company OUSTED GM's CEO and is telling CHRYSLER and A FOREIGN COMPANY (Fiat) to MERGE and the U.S. will GIVE them 6 BILLION DOLLARS....
My question is this....who is Fiat SpA? Well, this is a pretty CONCISE OVERVIEW
For total transparency, our Farm owns a New Holland tractor and I think an Alpha Romeo is cute and dont get me started on those tiny, micro cars....I mean I could almost put one in my pocket - its like the puppy for the car industry.
So, back to the President playing Monopoly in real life.....let me guess how this thing will go.....This will RUIN Chrysler and we are going to loose MORE than 6 Billion dollars.....its just a guess, I could be wrong.
Whats really starting to hack me off is that I try very hard to AVOID at ALL COSTS any company that has taken Government bailout funds or was taken over by the Government or was issued a mandate by the Government or the Government recently enacted any legislation to control....
I can see that I could potentially RUN OUT OF PRIVATE COMPANIES with which to do business.....even growing my garden is under attack.
People.....I know it may be hard....I know it may go against every grain of your being.....but I just want to hear - ONE, JUST ONE - person say to the effect: "Yeah, my bad, I should have voted for the old white guy and the chick...."
Part of the problem in stopping what is going on is people not wanting to admit they were wrong. I been wrong plenty - the thing about this blog is that I get to choose the topics, so I can pretty easily steer clear of things that I am either wrong about or that make me look stupid (which is why everyone should have a blog - its ego affects are really nice....)
Saying you were wrong is freeing - there is no more pretence, there is no more of feeling someone has the upper hand - no more keeping up appearances..... Being wrong is the easiest of things to admit because believe it or not, the person you admit it to (even if yourself) has been wrong too many times to count.
So, just let it out - admit it to yourself and then to someone around you (preferably to someone who also voted for this American Nightmare) and lets get on with fixing this Country. Because as weird as it may sound - we dont just need McCain/Palin voters, we need Green Voters, those Obama voters too, and even those are NOT VOTERS.....we just dont want those really, REALLY weird ones.....you know who you are - do us a favor and stay away.....

A list of things I realize I can never have too many of:
1. Chapstick - It gets used - goes through the wash - gets put in a million different coats...a fam cant have too many little Chapsticks. I also firmly believe that you need to get the REAL kind or the Blistex kind - those knockoffs are too close to lip gloss and do absolutely nothing for the chapiness.
2. Scissors - I use them all the time. I snip chives, cut chicken, cut paper, clip coupons....everything. The kids, well, they are kids, so they invariably get left outside, in someone's room, taken to school, used to "saw" something in the front yard....
3. Packages of Hotdogs and Mac n Cheese - I have kids....do I really need to elaborate?
4. Benadryl - in addition to the reason listed above (#3), it could save your life or someone you love....help you sleep and take away the sniffles - really totally a MUST HAVE, if you ask me...
5. Blue Medium Ballpoint pens - I love them and if they are a little gloppy, that is just wonderful. The Hubs will only use a black pen, so its going to suck for him WTSHTF since I am the one that buys house supplies. Have more than you will need, because you will write more now that you dont have a computer....
This concludes what I just added to my grocery list....I am sure more it to come, but just needed a quick post today ;)
As ALWAYS - Pray, Praise and Prepare - our time is getting short, People!

Tree Huggers and Texas Ranchers holding hands and singing "Kumbaya"....
Yeah - I can see it happening.... Really....
Right now, there is a Bill before the House of Representative - HR 875 - that basically says that anyone that grows or raises anything for food must be able to track it from beginning to end. The trick in this bill is, that it doest define what a farm is, what a ranch is or anything else. That means that it could be used to control what people grow in their own backyards or if they have a few hens for eggs.
Let me give you a little background on this Bill. Everyone knows about Monsanto - they are an evil corporation who uses the legal system and Intimidation to force farmers to use their products or to just quit all together. They genetically alter seeds (genetically modified - GM) so that they will not reproduce. When farmers buy these seeds, and the plants grow, flower and there is a wind, the pollen from these plants drifts to other farms. Because of the pollen drift, other farms who grow heirloom seeds will see their seeds not be able to reproduce because of the pollen from the seeds from this evil Company.
This bill is Monsanto's dream....It was introduced by Rosa DeLauro (D-CT). Her husband works for Monsanto - SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE....
If you are found to be in violation of this law, each infraction is punishable up to $1,000,000.00 and no, I didnt make a mistake with the zeros - ONE MILLION BUCKS....
This law has the potential to do several things....
First - if it is implemented, all food stuffs are going to go up - MAJORLY. In order to track every little grape, its going to cost a TON.
Second - This is going to cause food shortages. LESS FOOD - will make costs go up (supply and demand) but the reason is because this law will drive many out of business. From the backyard garden, to the farm trucks selling on the side of the road, to the Food Coops, to the small farm/ranch - it will be cost prohibitive to continue to produce food.
Third - People will starve - YES, STARVE as in DIE....
You see, bunches BUNCHES of people have opted out of the Industrial Food System. We have done it for so many reasons....some want food that is pesticide/antibiotic free food.....some want to support their local economies (Locavore, 100 mile Diet), some are anti-establishment.....some do it out of necessity (growing their own food).....some do it out Self-Preservation (preppers and survivalists).
This bill has the potential to bring those from the Left - dont mess with their organic granola - and those from the right - dont mess with their right to raise a chicken or a cow - together....
Everyone looses with this bill.....but if you produce your own food or do not have tons to spend on your food, you have EVERYTHING to loose....
Pray, Praise, Prepare....

My Man, Integrity and how he rolls....
**** This blog has been edited - like I figured, he wanted his cute face obscured and since he didnt like the bar one I emailed him, I tried this and he said it was fine :)******This is my man ( I dont know how long this post will be up as I didnt "ask permission" first before posting this or the pic). I am entirely ENTIRELY so proud of him....
First, hes hot - look at him - cute as a bug with arms that I can knock on like granite....
Right now, he is on the way to a client to tell them "Thanks, but no thanks." Yup, in this economy he is turning down business.
You see, he is in the medical services field and this customer has been a customer for a good long while, but he recently found out that they perform abortions. Now, let me stop you right there, this post isnt about "ProLife vs. ProChoice." I dont care which side of the coin you fall, but here is my personal view....Its sin - my concern isnt for the baby because I believe it is with The Father, but my concern is with the mom - the mom who knows in her soul that she has lost something valuable - something that she cant make right. My concern is that this woman is lost or at least has lost her way. I believe that if you reach the mom - if she makes her choice wisely, then Roe v. Wade become irrelevant.... And by the way, you will NEVER - NEVAH - reach the mom standing on the side of the street screaming and holding those disgusting signs.... anyway, that is how I feel and I get to type it because its my blog...if you dont like it, dont read or post your own blog.....This concludes my soapbox and back to My Man...
My Man also believes that a woman can choose her own path - but he also knows that he doesnt have to help.....
Matthew 18:7 (New International Version)
7"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!"
7"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!"
My man backs what he believes up with his actions - a man I can put my faith in, my love and my future as well as the future of my kids.....He is a man I can trust implicitly....
I didnt find out his decision until after the fact - after he called the office and told them he could no longer provide them services.....And it was in a casual phone conversation - "What you up to?" "Not much, just cancelled a service." "Why?" "Because they provide abortions and I dont want to deal with that...."
Nope, he just made his decision on what he thought was right and made his move....hes cool like that, its just how he rolls.....
***This post is out my "norm" but I am just so proud of him.....I just wanted to shout it out!

Six Degrees of Seperation from Lenin to Obama (Not even 6...)
Eat the Rich and this Nation will STARVE...
Hating the rich is misdirected....now, I am not saying that all "Rich" people are wonderful - there are some that are totally jerks.....there are also some "Middle Class" that are Jerks as well as the "Poor".
Now realize, that when you talk about "Rich", most people define that as those that make more than they do...and "Poor" are those that make less than you and most people identify themselves as "Middle Class." See - ITS ALL RELATIVE which means its EASY TO MANIPULATE...
Ok - back to Hating the Rich....its misdirected. Misdirected because we should be hating CONGRESS. We should see the Government as the ENEMY....EVIL....Necessary, but EVIL - NECESSARY EVIL....
Congress has twisted this whole AIG thing to get people all upset over the Rich - ACORN is loading buses up to Picket in front of big ole houses owned by AIG employees.
Well, lets follow this hating the Rich thing all the way through....but we dont have to use our imaginations (although I think I have a good one), we just have to read a little history....really? History repeating itself? Yes - DUH!!!
Anyway, this time we dont go to the American Revolution, although as far as Revolutions go, this one ROCKED....we are heading to Russia and the Bolshevik Revolution.
What a great time....It was 1917.....The people were pissed about The War....and in July, they started rioting in the streets....anything sound familiar so far? By November, the Leftists were in power and it was a pretty bloodless as the Red Guard took over most of the Government....
Let me see, where can I see a similarity of a bloodless Leftist Regime Overtaking of Government in November...where....where....where?
The Bolsheviks were mostly comprised of Workers, Military and Peasants.... After this Revolution, then came the bloodbath of the Civil War, led by Lenin.
In about 2 years time from 1918 to 1920, hundreds of thousands were killed by both the Red and the White Armies. However, it was Lenin's Government which used Red Terror to systematically crush his opposition.
You see, the "Middle Class" in Russia, the Doctors, Lawyers, Educated, Teachers, Store Owners, Farmers, Business Owners....were murdered, run out of town or had their Business/Farms destroyed or taken over by the Government - because the Government could run it better....The Government could make sure that the peasants got what they deserved (sound familiar?)
What followed was that the Russia started to starve. They couldnt produce what they needed and eventually turned on the peasants who were growing what they were living on in their backyards. The Government demanded from them what they were growing....Now the Peasants, the workers who supported Lenin, were at his mercy and the rest is History....
Lenin and the Reds used anger and hatred to obscure the real objects of the people's anger and turned into a Revolution - a revolution that killed many who wanted it...
The same thing is happening here....This hatred of AIG employees and their bonuses....Did you know that Fannie and Freddie Bonuses were much MUCH M.U.C.H. bigger than those at AIG? Did you know that Chris Dodd's wife works for AIG in Jamaica although they live in DC....do you think we pay for their rides back and forth? Did you know that Francine Water's husband is on the board of the bank that Barney Frank gave bailout funds to that is also in his district? Did you know that most of those bonuses to AIG went to the branch that MADE money and had nothing to do with the "swapping" that brought down the firm (you could actually say they EARNED their bonus (sarcasm, because I believe they did EARN it).
The fact that we have "Rich" in this Country means that you too can become "Rich". That is the opportunity of Capitalism. Do you really want Government telling you how much you can earn or how much your work, your labor, your time is worth?

Gag me with a spoon...er....salt.....
If things go the way of Patriots (JWR reference), it would be in most people's interest to own a dog. They are emotionally therapeutic and who wont need that, but they are an EXCELLENT alarm system.
As such, there may come a time when poisoning dogs in order to invade a home another night might become common place.
This little piece of information may save your life and the life of your pooch....
SALT....
You may have to make your dog barf if it has ingested something that could kill him. A tablespoon of salt, poured down his throat and then holding his mouth shut while he swallows will do the trick.
And it does the trick pretty quickly, so make sure you are outside or at least on tile ;) Your dog will promptly empty his stomach right then and there....
Take this for what its worth - file it away - talk to your vet....But I have used this once on my dog and after about 5 minutes, he was back to his usual self with no after problems except he wanted a big glass of water, as we all do after barfing :)

The one document that could bring the Green Party and Ron Paul together....
So, Missouri sent out a "Modern Militia Movement" profile (I know they say it isnt a profile, but seriously, it is)....
Many of us have read the articles - where it lists things that "Domestic Terrorists" could be involved in....
Its a hoot - really. But lets get one thing straight, this profile DOES NOT describe MILITIAS as the CONSTITUTION describes Militias. The 1st 10 Amendments address rights of INDIVIDUAL persons - meaning that the Founding Fathers call a "militia" any able bodied MALE (and certain really cool chicks ;) Therefore, what this Missouri Rag calls MILITIA is INACCURATE and should be called PARAMILITARY GROUP because that is what it is describing....
Ok, so now that we have that straight, lets proceed. Here is ACTUAL DOCUMENT Read it for yourself and dont trust what news articles say, or me for that matter.
So, if you can nod your head with anything below, the State of Missouri could and may already have, classified you as a "Domestic Terrorist"....
1 - Christian
2 - White Supremacist
3 - Sovereign Citizen
4 - Anti- Abortion
5 - Hate the IRS and believe they have no power to collect taxes
6 - Anti-Immigration (This one pisses me off....People who believe there should be a fence and we should enforce the laws of our Country are NOT ANTI-Immigration - we are ANTI-ILLEGAL-Immigration. Learn the difference Washington.)
We know how to use guns, practice using our guns, are into Survival, Shortwave Radio and try to get people to join with us.
Some of us talk about our beliefs and some of us dont (really, Govt? This was the best you could do?)
We fly different flags - Dont Tread on Me, Molon Labe....
If you are registered to a party other than the big 2, vote that way, display a sticker or anything....
If you have forwarded a cartoon that displayed the Government in a not so flattering light or made fun of a political person or even put a political bumper sticker on your car, you could be a DT.
Ok - so now you have the list....I bet just about EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY can check at least one thing off this list....
It would be easier to check the things I AM NOT on this list... Skinhead and Shortwave Radio....
I could shorten this list down to 2 lines:
1 - If you are tired of being screwed by the Government, you might be a DT.
2 - If you are breathing, you might be a DT
There....I just saved Missouri a ton a paper....they can thank me later.
Many of us have read the articles - where it lists things that "Domestic Terrorists" could be involved in....
Its a hoot - really. But lets get one thing straight, this profile DOES NOT describe MILITIAS as the CONSTITUTION describes Militias. The 1st 10 Amendments address rights of INDIVIDUAL persons - meaning that the Founding Fathers call a "militia" any able bodied MALE (and certain really cool chicks ;) Therefore, what this Missouri Rag calls MILITIA is INACCURATE and should be called PARAMILITARY GROUP because that is what it is describing....
Ok, so now that we have that straight, lets proceed. Here is ACTUAL DOCUMENT Read it for yourself and dont trust what news articles say, or me for that matter.
So, if you can nod your head with anything below, the State of Missouri could and may already have, classified you as a "Domestic Terrorist"....
1 - Christian
2 - White Supremacist
3 - Sovereign Citizen
4 - Anti- Abortion
5 - Hate the IRS and believe they have no power to collect taxes
6 - Anti-Immigration (This one pisses me off....People who believe there should be a fence and we should enforce the laws of our Country are NOT ANTI-Immigration - we are ANTI-ILLEGAL-Immigration. Learn the difference Washington.)
We know how to use guns, practice using our guns, are into Survival, Shortwave Radio and try to get people to join with us.

Popping pills....
Consider this my PSA for the week....
If your child or a child you are around frequently is nearing 5 or 6, you need to teach them how to swallow pills.
Most people could put their hands on Bendryl for an allergic reaction, very few could put their hands on the liquid form...
Being able to give your child a pill could save their life, make them more comfortable, keep them from getting sick.
Start by teaching them how to swallow a TicTac...Put a little water in their mouths, tilt their head back and drop the pill in and then swallow....
It really could be one of the best things they learn....

Facebook friends and how the Govt played Hot Potato....
So, I posted a little blurb about checking out my blog to learn why I thought AIG should get to keep their bonuses - yall understand....It seems to be the dead horse I am beating lately, bless his heart.
Anyway - I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY by the number of responses that were basically along the line of that the Government needs to do something - tax, oversight, something and not let things keep going as is....
So here is my rant - one that I really didnt feel I should post on Facebook as I like those people ;) Not that I dont like yall - I ADORE YALL - but I see a lot of those people on a daily basis and to just blurt out my libertarian, finger to the government, preparedness-self to them might end our friendship or at least put a major damper on our invites - we are popular people, ya know ;)
Anyway, here it is....GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IS THE LAST - L.A.S.T - thing we need. If the Government had kept their opinions, laws and their self-righteous self to themselves, this whole mess would have NEVER HAPPENED.
Nope - The housing bubble, AIG, Mortgage Crisis, Bank Crisis, Inflation - ALL OF IT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.
There isnt a mortgage company or bank out there that wants to go under - not a one.... And as such, there isnt a bank out there that would have lent money to the people it did. The ONLY reason these institutions lent the funds was BECAUSE of Government intervention. The Government MANDATED to banks that they MUST meet certain Quotas to people who made a certain amount - turns out that those people made so little that they couldnt pay their mortgage....
These Banks KNEW that the people they were giving the money to would not be able to pay the money back and so what did they do....They bundled them up and sold them to other institutions. Ya know what, I dont blame them one bit. They were forced to loan crap loans and so to ensure that their bottom line wasnt rocked, they sold those crap loans as quick as possible.
It was a HUGE FINANCIAL HOT POTATO game that came crashing down - all created by the Government.
And to keep things going, home values had to keep going up - banks had an interest in getting an appraisal that beat the previous one in order to sell the mortgages....trying to get out from under the dud of a mortgage that was previously taken out on a property....the Flipping Phase was born....it was all crap - everyone in America knew it....we were all sitting on our couches watching shows like Flip this House and wondering how an out of work guitar player in California could afford a $350,000 mortgage on a 1 bed/1 bath dump... Seems like the entire country knew this was crap except about 5 different states and we sat on our couches and laughed at those idiots....at least, I did....
If the Government kept their nose out of things, this entire fiasco would have never happened.
I just hate that the free enterprise system is getting the bad rap when its the Government - AGAIN - who screwed everything up....when are people going to learn that the only thing the Government can do well is the Military - and that do that VERY WELL....
Whew - this concludes my rant that I couldnt explode on my Facebook friends....and those of my Facebook friends that read my blog, you already know where I stand, and so far it hasnt hurt our friendship ;)

I have posted several times that I just dont see the military or police turning on Americans....many think I am wrong - wouldnt be the first time. And I concede, I think some may, but they will be in the minority, Not The Majority....
Today, via Something Wicked Comes, I found this BLOG and my heart swells and I am filled with an YEAH BABY moment.
This Country is filled with Men and Women who understand that the Oaths they take are not to any man or Government. They understand that we are Citizens under the Constitution.
THE CONSTITUTION governs us and those Idiots in Washington....well, they are fools and will be out of a job soon enough....
Thanks to those who take no only their job, but their Oaths seriously - let their Yes be Yes and their No, No - people of honor....

WRONG WRONG WRONG
On so many levels, TAXING THE AIG BONUSES IS WRONG....
To some, it may feel good - I contend if it feels good that these people are being taxed, you have wealth envy and have fallen for the crap that is being shoveled from Washington - you see, when you believe that someone doesnt deserve something that they have a CONTRACT ENTITLING THEM TOO, or that you feel they didnt earn it or that they have too much already, the Government has won.
“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
Abraham Lincoln quotes (American 16th US President (1861-65), who brought about the emancipation of the slaves. 1809-1865)
The only way to ensure that what YOU WORK SO HARD FOR is safe, is to ensure that you make sure that what those around you work for is safe....I am not safe if my neighbor is not safe and so on and so on....
Taxing the AIG bonuses gives the Government THE RIGHT TO TAX AFTER THE FACT ANY GROUP THEY DECIDE THEY DONT LIKE.... This is dangerous. Do you do anything that the Government - THIS GOVERNMENT - might not like? What about where you shop? Do you own guns? Does your church teach that Homosexuality is wrong? Do your kids go to private school? Do you home school?
See....if you allow the Government to get away with this, you might not be safe - in fact, I can guarantee you wont be safe....
We cannot allow this to happen - we cannot allow this Government to take this UNCONSTITUTIONAL step as they have done so many times before. To allow the Government to take this step, puts us on a path to Revolution.....either a Socialistic Revolution or another War for Independence and/or Secession.
More than TARP, more than each Stimulus, more than the Bailouts, this current taxation of the AIG bonuses uses our Constitution as toilet paper. This type of taxation is expressly FORBIDDEN and Washington just doesnt seem to care.....why should they? Whos going to stop them?
Article 1, Section 9 of our Constitution:
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
This means that you cant go back and tax something or make a law against something and then prosecute someone for doing it BEFORE it was against the law....
I guess no one in Congress has read the Constitution....Surprise, Surprise, Surprise....

Exterior....
This is how the outside looks now :)
The kids' doors are finally in and each kid has gotten to pick a color to paint their doors - I have a royal (Colts) blue and hot pink and one munchkin that goes back and forth between red and orange.
The exterior guy will come back and finish putting up the metal and then the exterior will be done except the staining/painting which means I need to finalize a color....guess that is where one munchkin gets his color indecision.

I vote that AIG gets to keep its bonuses! Yeah, you read that right....
Dont be fooled people - the Government is showing you something shiny in one hand - namely the AIG bonuses that ARE PERFECTLY LEGAL while taking your money with the other.
They are trying to distract you with $165 million in LEGAL BONUSES THAT THE GOVERNMENT KNEW THEY WOULD PAY OUT WHEN THEY GAVE THEM THE MONEY while hoping that you dont get upset with the BILLIONS they are paying out in EARMARKS.
Dont fall for it - Dont get all hot and bothered over shiny TIN when SHINY GOLD is being stolen from you.....Dont HAND THEM GOLD in exchange for TIN....
Its like a book I had as a child in which the child exchanged 1 dollar for 2 quarters who then gave the 2 quarters for 3 dimes down until all he had was 5 pennies and he was so excited. Because he exchanged 1 for 5....
The Government is trying to take your RIGHTEOUS ANGER at all this CRAP and manipulate you into throwing your anger at AIG - when your ANGER - Your RIGHTEOUS ANGER needs to be placed squarely at Congress - Chris Dodd and Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi and Obama and all those disgusting Republicans who put earmarks in the "Stimulus Bill" and then voted AGAINST it....
Dont be fooled - dont trade Righteousness for something shiny - Not this time....NOT EVER AGAIN....

The world must be ending....
Jon Stewart and I agree on something....
THIS LINK shows the Stewart vs. Cramer "discussion".... He basically uses Cramer as a stand in punching bag for the scumbags in the Financial Industry....
After reading the article, I was ready to be uncomfortable, but you know what? I WASNT - NOT. ONE. BIT. Stewart is right and after seeing Jim's early clips, I didnt feel sorry for him at all. SCUM BAGS....ALL OF THEM.....

Im waiting for the Shot Heard Round the World....
BHO missed his chance....
If he ever wanted a chance to ban certain weapons, the Pres should have signed an order the day he took the Oath - actually maybe the second day when he made sure he took the Oath right....
Since BHO became the Democratic nominee and Since BHO started to look like the next President and Since BHO won the Presidency and Since BHO was sworn in.....whew.... Gun sales and Ammo sales have been at RECORD HIGHS....
I am not telling you anything new....but my take on it is that BHO missed his chance.....if he really wanted to get rid of the guns, he should have done it 1st.... Even those in Congress, those that drool at any mention of his name wont touch the 2nd Amendment with a 10 foot pole. Nope - they arent going to do this for him.
Even CNN is running Pro-2nd Amendment News bits.
FBI checks are up 25% higher than this time last year....what I would secretly like to know is how are those private party sales doing? Those boys are first to be sold out at the gun shows around here... Conceal Carry classes are booked MONTHS in advance.....
Yup Mr. President - you missed your shot at trying to take out the 2nd Amendment (pun intended)....looks like if you are going to have a real difficult time of it when the people have had enough. And Sir, the people have had enough - We want our Country back....

I fell in love with the wrong Texas Governor....
I have been thinking about Rick Perry all day....not like that....gross.....
I have been thinking that if I were Rick Perry, I would be pissed. Mexico is about to become the next failed state and to top it off 4 drug cartels are duking it out right across our border. I sent a message to the President asking for assistance - silly me, I actually thought the Pres' job was to PROTECT America, but I must have been mistaken, because BHO is "considering" helping....
Well, if I were Rick Perry, I would let Mr. BHO consider my middle finger. Yup - after I turned down part of his stimulus, I would call up the Texas Rangers and the Texas Guard and I would put them on the Border....
Then I would tell Mr. BHO, thanks but no thanks and I would tell him that we will take care of it ourselves and that as a matter of fact, we would take care of EVERYTHING ourselves and that included keeping taxes here too.
I would deputize the Border Patrol as new Texas Citizens.....
You see, Texas doesnt need BHO - NOT ONE BIT. BHO needs Texas - NEEDS as in a newborn calf and a Cow udder.... Texas isnt unscathed, but they are keeping their heads way above water in this current depression. BHO needs Texas because he needs their money to send to California....yeah, that would make me want to help.
If I were Rick Perry I would think that Governing Texas the Republic would start to sound pretty good....
Yeah.....I have been thinking about Rick Perry all day.....

It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error. --
Robert Houghwout Jackson,Chief Judge at the War-Crimes Tribunal in Nuremberg
With BHO trying to put Science back in its rightful place (according to him) and with the reversal of Government sponsored stem cell research, I fear that what Nazi Germany did in the way of human experiments may pale in comparison to what BHO's Administration does...
God Have Mercy.....

Why acting like Obama's Lap Dog is going make Brad Henry have to find a new job...
How long will States that are not as economically injured as others send their monies to States that squander their funds?
South Carolina is pretty much trying to say, Thanks but No, Thanks and Governor Rick Perry of Texas has said NO to part of the Stimulus monies
Now, this may be because they like their political careers and those that vote for them have stated their displeasure and you know what, THAT IS TOTALLY FINE BY ME.
I bet yall all agree that the Founding Fathers instituted a system where the States hold the power and thats because the State is more at the locals' whims. We can control those that are voted on by our state and live in our state better than those buffoons we send to Washington.
It just takes one....One to stand up to a bully...One State to tell the Federal Government where they can take a flying leap....One Governor to put his State above himself and his Career by backing up its Citizens when they decide that they are done footing the bill for other reckless states.
It just takes one.... And then other States will follow suit....and you know what? If a Governor, like the one that we have in our State which acts like he wants to be Obama's lap dog, doesnt do what the People of the State want, we take it to the Legislature and when we vote, which we do next year, we will vote that stupid poodle out of office...
Because We The People are through! We are tired of being ignored and we are waking up - WAKING UP in HUGE Numbers.... Yeah, we will exercise our right to vote, but you know what - We The People are also weighing our other options - what? You didnt know we had other options?
Well, We The People do - and we are TOLD to exercise them when the Government becomes oppressive and is becoming burdensome to We The People, and you know what? They are....

Women and Children first.....
I just dont get the hate....You know, the utter contempt for those that just "dont get it". I read a bunch and it seems women can be a real scape goat for misplaced anger because they dont prep. There are snide comments about women and their buying habits - they slam us for liking shoes - I hate to break it to you, but even prepper girls like shoes - ITS IN THE DNA....
I dont have any animosity towards someone that doesnt prep - I have pity. Pity because I can look down their road and see that difficulties will compound due to their unpreparedness.
I understand that for some women, its easy to soothe feelings by buying something that makes them feel good. Again, it makes me pity them....
It also makes me wonder on a larger scale the fate of women in general. I suspect that domestic violence will be on the rise... We certainly are seeing more men kill their families - or at least they are being publicized more.
Women are in a unique situation - many are expected to take care of their families but lack the means to do so - meaning, they arent the ones out making the money. They are in a weird situation of being dependent on someone while little people are dependent on them. They are the ones that write the checks for food, for everyday stuff and therefore they are EASY to blame for spending the family's money and an easy target for frustration when money is tight.
Life is going to get tough - but it will be toughest for those that are the weakest.....
Pray - Praise - Prepare

Just hold on a sec....
I dont quite understand entirely, but it seems that Life must come before blogging - I know, weird, huh?
So, to that end - I had to drive 2 1/2 hours one way yesterday to see the girlie in a soccer game to turn around and drive back to have her back at 10:00 p.m. so she wouldnt have to ride the bus after the boys game and get in after midnight....
The above should do quite nicely to win me "Mom of the Day" award anywhere in Bloggerville.
That being said, I am a day behind on chores (or "crap done here"). Give me a few more hours and I will righteously fired up about something and will post....
So, just hold on a sec....

Take a hike....
So Spring is almost here - the early flowering trees are starting to bud...
If you own land, now is the time to take a hike. I have done this for the past couple of years. I have neon green plastic "tape" and hot pink. I walk our land and I tie a flag around the trunks of trees that are flowering Plums. We have 2 kinds of plums - the bushy Sand Plums and the Wild Mexican Plums. I mark these now because its easiest to spot them and to make sure that we dont plow those under if we are clearing any land. Those tiny plums are good just to pick off the tree or to make jam.
I also mark Redbud trees with the hot pink. Its our State's Tree and it is down right beautiful and those trees are expensive. We are blessed that they grow wild on our land. I can move the small ones or if they are bigger, make them a focal point of a trail or a scenic area or garden.
So, now while things are fair and beautiful as well as flowering - get out there and mark things on your land.

You wont believe what I thought....
So I see this article:
Yahoo News Story
Its about a Pastor being killed by someone coming into his church and shooting him during the sermon...
So, the first thought that ran through my head was, if there are more of these, "they" will make an easy case for gun control to the Christian Right....
Cynical, I know....
Then the thought came - what if "they" sent the gunman to do this and "they" are planning on killing more Rightwingers in order to pass Gun Control Laws....
Now, I think I am crossing over into Conspiracy, World Trade Tower, JFK lunacy....
And then I read the article....
It seems that no one can establish (as of yet) a connection between the gunman and the pastor....
I am almost disappointed that "they" are getting so predictable....and deadly......
Pray for those affected - Pray for our Country
Praise the One in whose Hands we rest
Prepare for Crisis and what "They" have planned

Quote and then some....
In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.- John Adams
I have seen this quote many times and love it each time....this time I copied and pasted it from Ms. Meadowlark at Just Wandering Through - she a cool chick - Cool with a Capital "C" :)
Obviously, it rings of truth - but there is more. It tells me that the crap we are having to put up with (for a while longer, at least) is nothing new. The Righteous John Adams thought the same thing about the Congress that I do - that they are worthless....
There is comfort in that - there is kinship - there is a feeling that nothing new is under the sun and that the sun will come up tomorrow, no matter what happens today. The fact that John and I view Congress the same links me ever more to the Founding Fathers, entrenches me more as We The People, emboldens me, empowers me, fortifies me.
John Adams was We The People - I am We The People - and whatever may come, I will remain, We The People ~ and I will get on my knees and thank God that I am not a shame, a law firm or Congress :)

Becoming a Media Whore....
I told this to the Hubs a while back and we discuss this every now and then....
I think the media will turn on BHO. There I said it. Here is my reasoning....
Fox News' ratings are shooting through the roof. Even Glenn Beck's new show is beating every other Cable TV Show except like 1 or 2. He gets PRIME TIME ratings at 5:00 Eastern time - Thats 4:00 my time, or in other words, Oprah time.... Thats amazing....
Back to my prediction - anyhoo - Fox News' ratings are going up as well as their advertising revenue - yup - they are making money - capitalist sons of bitches ;) {thats sarcasm....}
Liberal media is hurting - and that is HURTING with capital letters and a big ole morphine drip. The New York Times just had to take a major share holder from some Mexican Billionaire (what was he smoking to buy into that rag) and the Denver Newspaper just quit - as in Out Of Business. NBC has just cancelled all the 10:00 Eastern Time dramas and is just paying Jay Leno to do his show a 1/2 hour earlier each week night. It will save them a TON.... Which they need since their parent company is GE. ABC and CBS are hurting financially....
All that to say - these Media outlets can tout their Liberal crap all day long, but when push comes to shove, at the end of the day, they want to make money - THEY HAVE TO MAKE MONEY. They arent stupid - they see Fox making the cash and they know why....
They also know what the majority of Americans are feeling, they just choose to ignore it. The Media will turn.
They will move back towards the center - they will echo what We The People want to hear....They have to....Californians and New Yorkers alone cant keep them in business.... They need us - they HAVE to HAVE us and they will Cater to us.... They will pursue us.....
I am posting my educated guess regarding the Media, mostly because I think its already starting to happen... CNN's Lou Dobbs had a program about the erosion of the 2nd Amendment - for all you Non-Gun Owning Wussies, thats the Amendment where we keep our guns - "bear arms" - and also for you Wussies, check out my gun posts to the right, you need them.... Sorry, got side tracked there...
Anyway - CNN Covered the 2nd Amendment and not from the stance where we need to seize the guns for everyone's safety - it was about the fact that Gun Rights are under attack....
This is the beginning....watch for more issues to be taken on before an outright criticism of the President - but you wait - its coming and it will tickle me down to my toes when it happens - in fact, it might even send a shiver up my leg.....hows that, you scumbag, Chris Matthews?

Burn Baby, Burn....
More and more, people are putting to words feelings behind the flags seen here:
ANYWAY....
I understand these sentiments - Have them myself - Rant about them here and in my real life...
But there is a dangerous undercurrent happening in this country. People thinking that society is about an inch thick. There is no depth and that thin layer is starting to fray. People are mad. People are scared. I personally believe that most people are not savages - that we will continue to treat others with compassion and respect, but that is a whole 'nother post.... And you may see it soon ;)
ANYWAY....
The impression is that there is a large part of the population that will be homeless soon. Actually only 8% are in danger of loosing their home. That number will rise as unemployment rises - but it seems that the fear of the homelessness is out of proportion to the actual situation.
People are angry - they are more than incensed. They are furious. But it needs to be righteous. In your anger, Do No Sin.... This Scripture tells me that the feelings I am feeling are NORMAL - God Given - but I need to be careful in my anger not to Sin.
There is a undercurrent that is starting to rumble.....the feeling that someone will act out as an expression of his dissatisfaction with the Government.
This is one of the worst things we could do. It will give the Government an opportunity to marginalize those that feel this way - at least 1/2 the country and this feeling is growing. At the very least, the Government would ignore us as insane - at the worst, all your fears will be realized as the Government goes after your guns, your land, your very person.
Now - I am not saying that we do nothing....Hell no.
But study the Constitution - study the men that wrote it - study what their grievances were - Study HOW LONG they sent men to England to plead the Colonies' case. Study HOW LONG they endured before sending the Declaration of Independence.
People, as unlikely as it may seem, we are at the beginning of our Revolution to re-establish the Constitution.
An analogy would be a fire. If you can stop a fire at the beginning, the structure can be salvaged - but at a certain point - when it has gone too far, it needs to burn. Letting nature take care of itself with a good fire benefits the forest. I contend that if we want the Country we were promised - the Country we were given - its best to let it burn. Let this Government burn itself out - its well on the way and so much has already been spent, it might be impossible to salvage anything if we stopped it now.
I am willing to endure the pain of a Depression - of having the Government fail - because at the end....when the dust settles and we have removed those in power and this Government is toppled, all we will have left is the Constitution and we will send the power back to the States. We will only vote on the House of Representatives with the States sending its Senators....We will control our lives through our States with men and women that have to see us every day - L.O.C.A.L. C.O.N.T.R.O.L.
We will have given our children our most precious dream - Freedom.
Dont sacrifice our chance at Freedom by giving in to the Sin in your Anger.....

Mi Casa...
It seems that the work goes in spurts and right now things are on fire - not literally, but figuratively :)
My mom always said eat what you dont like first and then you can enjoy the rest of your meal - so again, figuratively speaking, here is the spinach....
The Door people went to put in the doors this past Friday, but the 3 openings in the basement were too small....TOO SMALL....that is kind of a problem since my house is in concrete. I just told them to knock the wood off the sides and the top, but those are the ONLY 3 OPENINGS that do not have the wood ;) Funny times....Funny times.... But I will tell you, that after some calls - and we were nice - the basement / house guy, Caleb had Terry and the boys out there today to cut the openings bigger. They are so nice - NICE - I know this is supposed to be the spinach, but every time I have to deal with Caleb or Terry or the boys - its a nice experience... That speaks volumes to me and I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again IN A HEARTBEAT if I built again - but I am not, so I just need to send others to them....Hint....Hint....Hint....build with them people.
I also have 3 sliding doors - 2 that open 1 way and 1 that opens the other, but Door people had 3 that opened the same way, so we wont get the new door until next week. Bummer....
They pressurized the pipes and we have a couple leaks which will be fixed and which is why they do this BEFORE we put up sheet rock ;)
And I think I have a hole in my roof - its tiny and its about 20' up over me, but Shawn and I both think that we were seeing sunlight and not just something shiny. THIS IS A HUGE PROB since it means that there is a hole in my decking, in my insulating P2000 and in my METAL ROOF....
Thats about all the spinach - now on to the potatoes :)
I have a side door with a nice doggie door in it for Basil. I like it a lot and need to decide what color to paint it.....
I have windows in the front and should have all windows up on Monday. I also have a temporary front door which will be replaced at the end when they put in my real front door (which is pretty - PRETTY).
HVAC is just about done and its shiny - SHINY is always good.
And the exterior is getting done - I got to pick colors, but will keep that under my hat because a picture is worth a thousand words and so you can see it next week when the stain goes on - or stains - or paint - who knows....
Here are the pics - I took some more today, but the camera is in the car and we have already established I can be lazy....

Integrity
My dad used to say, dont say anything you wouldnt sign your name to - Its sage advice. It has kept me from saying something that would have felt really, REALLY, R.E.A.L.L.Y. good at the time, but I probably would have regretted later.
I have been thinking about this for a while. When things change in this Country - when the Global companies cease to be global and people do not know who to trust - they will go local. They will borrow from the local bank - they will buy their lumber from the local yard - they will get their livestock feed from the local farm and grain. People will have store accounts where the person writes it on a little card - like it used to be. Someone's word will mean more than it ever has....
Honesty, Trust and Integrity will again be a marker of a man's success and not the neighborhood he lives in or the car that he drives.
To that end - I have never posted anything Anonymous. Its cowardly and its really immature. Well....let me take that back - I have seen posts where someone is brutally honest about themselves and to put ones name would have just added to the pain. But I dont have the kind of blog which brings out the personal confessions..... I have also seen posts where someone is telling something sensitive that could be considered OPSEC..... I dont have that kind of blog either....
But the thing is - nothing is Anon. Nope - so, all the trolls out there, there is a program out there that will let me see the IP addresses, tells me where you are, Who you are....
I havent pulled the plug on Anon. posts. I havent looked anyone up - yet! People have the freedom to say what they want - even if its stupid and immature. But there may come a time when I do not allow Anon posts.... People will have to man up in order to say something rude - but I doubt many will. They will just scurry for the corners, kind of like flicking on the light and watching the roaches scramble for darkness....

Declaration for Dummies
I dont speak the Queen's English - as fully supported by my bootycall post - but I do translate....
I have a theory about the Declaration of Independence. I purport that it isnt read more because of its language - you have to think.....So, I am coming to the rescue - allow me to translate....
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
In the natural course of Human (thats people)'s lives, there sometimes comes a time that the Political crap that holds us together - the parties, the Government - must come apart. We must end those ties. We must end those ties in order for all to have opportunity that is given to them by the Laws of Nature and by God - where people give each other a decent respect for each other and their opinions.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
These Truths are OBVIOUS - all Men ARE CREATED EQUAL. There is no person that is more important than another. Just the fact that God created Man gives them the RIGHT to Life, Freedom and the RIGHT to do what makes you happy - to try and make yourself happy.
** My commentary: And I propose that it is THESE RIGHTS that is breeding the current discontent - the current unhappiness - the current wariness of this Government. These 3 rights are INHERENT - there is no reason to explain them, people FEEL them, they KNOW them in their core. Its is these rights that are being OBVIOUSLY trampled on by the Government. When the Government takes from someone to give to someone else, it is the violation of these basic rights. ** Back to the Declaration of Independence....
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
In order for people to make SECURE, to ensure, these rights, THE PEOPLE establish a Government. And the Government gets its powers from those that it governs, WE THE PEOPLE - with our consent. Whenever the Government becomes destructive - when it begins acting outside the permission given to it by The People - IT IS THE RIGHT of the People to either change the Government or to GET RID OF IT ALL TOGETHER and put in its place, a NEW Government. And when that NEW GOVERNMENT is established, it will be layed upon a FOUNDATION, that seems to the PEOPLE to be best for THE PEOPLE's Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
For obvious reasons, it is not smart or wise to change long established Governments for frivolous and non-important reasons. If history has shown us anything, it is that People will suffer needlessly instead of changing the Government when it needs to be Changed. The adage - better the Devil you know than the Devil you dont.... But when The People have had enough and the list of what the Government has done in abusing The People is long - so long that the Government has become a heavy burden - a Tyrant, it is The People's right - it is their Duty - The People MUST throw off this evil Government and provide a new Guard (Government) for the People's future Security.
The Declaration of Independence then lists the reasons the Colonies wanted to be free from King George and England....Funny thing is, many of those reasons are reasons the current population is VERY UNHAPPY with the current Government. Here is a link if you want to check out those reasons..... RIGHTY HERE
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We tried to tell our Brothers in England what their Government was doing - how the Government was mistreating us - but they have been deaf and refused to hear. We tried to appeal to the fact that we are brothers and remind them of the reasons we came to America - we tried to get them to understand just because no one should be treated this way - but they refused to help us. Because our brothers in England would not help, they are no longer our brothers. We will treat them as we treat the rest of the World - when we are at War, they are our enemies and when we are at Peace, they are our friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
We the People, appeal to God to help us, on the behalf of the People of the Colonies declare and tell all that these Colonies are FREE and we are INDEPENDENT states. We abolish all ties and allegiance to the British Crown and abolish all political connections to the State of Great Britain. Again, we are FREE and we are INDEPENDENT States. We have the power to wage War, to have Peace, to make Contracts, to make Allegiances, to establish Commerce and Print Monies and do everything that every other INDEPENDENT Country can do. In support of this Declaration of Independence we plead for God's protection and His support and we pledge to each other our Lives, Our Fortune (all that we have) and our sacred Honor (all that we are).
I could weep for the men that signed this document - for their vision, for their bravery, for their Providence. I could also weep for what the Government has become and what they have done to tarnish this document that is so precious. The Founding Fathers said it all....there is nothing else I could add....
God Bless The United States of America - we need Him now more than ever....
Pray, Praise, Prepare.....

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We tried to tell our Brothers in England what their Government was doing - how the Government was mistreating us - but they have been deaf and refused to hear. We tried to appeal to the fact that we are brothers and remind them of the reasons we came to America - we tried to get them to understand just because no one should be treated this way - but they refused to help us. Because our brothers in England would not help, they are no longer our brothers. We will treat them as we treat the rest of the World - when we are at War, they are our enemies and when we are at Peace, they are our friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
We the People, appeal to God to help us, on the behalf of the People of the Colonies declare and tell all that these Colonies are FREE and we are INDEPENDENT states. We abolish all ties and allegiance to the British Crown and abolish all political connections to the State of Great Britain. Again, we are FREE and we are INDEPENDENT States. We have the power to wage War, to have Peace, to make Contracts, to make Allegiances, to establish Commerce and Print Monies and do everything that every other INDEPENDENT Country can do. In support of this Declaration of Independence we plead for God's protection and His support and we pledge to each other our Lives, Our Fortune (all that we have) and our sacred Honor (all that we are).
I could weep for the men that signed this document - for their vision, for their bravery, for their Providence. I could also weep for what the Government has become and what they have done to tarnish this document that is so precious. The Founding Fathers said it all....there is nothing else I could add....
God Bless The United States of America - we need Him now more than ever....
Pray, Praise, Prepare.....
