“We have entered, as I see it, a spiritual limbo. Our educational institutions are no longer the bearers of high culture, and public life has been deliberately moronised. But here and there, sheltered from the noise and glare of the media, the old spiritual forces are at work” Roger Scruton

“Jesus prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know You . . .” (John 17:3). The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we will take this view, life will become one great romance— a glorious opportunity of seeing wonderful things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power.” Oswald Chambers

Only let a man grant he needs it, and I will do it for him.” The Shadow of an Agony,Oswald Chambers

Capitalism seeks to help others through a servce or product it provides. Free Market Capitalism is the most moral and fair economic system available to man. Capitalism augments personal growth, responsibility and ownership. Charity flourishes under capitalism. Charity dies under subjective “fair share” government confiscatory policies. Socialism redistributes ambivalence and greed.

“We are to regard existence as a raid or great adventure; it is to be judged, therefore, not by what calamities it encounters, but by what flag it follows and what high town it assaults. The most dangerous thing in the world is to be alive; one is always in danger of one’s life. But anyone who shrinks from that is a traitor to the great scheme and experiment of being.” G.K. Chesterton

One Debt to Rule Them All
August 6, 2011 Leave a comment
The Hopey-Changey Barack-O-Meter hit a new low this past week.
American credit has been downgraded by Standard & Poors. This happened because of the economic and social policies of Barack Hussein Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The Democrats forced a debt ceiling deal that was nowhere near good enough to prevent the downgrade. It was the *Tea Party members of Congress who demanded substantial cuts to make our country fiscally sound. Instead, our time was ‘murdered’ by the Mad Hatter and his tea party.
But that’s not all….
There are over fourteen million people out of work. The effective unemployment rate is 20% of the population – one in five Americans. Many people have given up looking for work. BO, community-organizer-in-chief, continues to offer absolutely nothing of substance to turn the economy around. He proffers class warfare – the African dictator way of handling things. His version of social justice is to ransack the rich and feed his political coffers (while lavishing himself with many golf outings and a birthday week bash– very African dictator like.)
BO continues to push for more government regulation and this only tightens the noose around small businesses. They die off every day.
Obamacare is a plague on our nation. Many corporations will drop their health care coverage. Many large companies have opted out. Many doctors will leave the practice. The passed-on cost of this health care ‘reform’ will shut the doors of many of the nation’s small businesses, the very life-blood of our economy. The voodoo social and economic policies of BO have brought a pox on all of us.
2012: There will be people who will continue to vote for the downgrade of the US – people who read Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, who follow MoveOn.org, Jim Wallis and other progressive panaceans. There are people who only listen to Hollywood movie stars lecturing the public about social policies, ‘lobal’ warming and revised US history. These people will vote with their left hand because they don’t want to know what the right hand is doing.
In stead of Hope and Change, BO’s 2012 campaign slogan should be, Be in Hock with Barack!
*In an amazing bout of stupidity and rancor this past week VP Joe Biden called Tea Party members “Terrorists”. Joe must have felt threatened. The only way a Tea Party member could even be considered a terrorist is when they threaten the status quo of politicians like Joe Biden.
