We seem to forget…
What goes around does come around.
To become an American is to be given a gift of liberty. Use the gift wisely. There are many today who have been born American and don’t realize what they have. There are many today who do not have Truth to guide their lives. They have only feelings and sincerity as their moral guides.
As a citizen of the United States you deserve nothing more than life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Anything else becomes a demand that grows government and government in turn robs people of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A large government places people under the tyranny of its control first by controlling those you want controlled (unions, environmentalists, animal rights groups, etc. want others to be controlled) and then by controlling you. Government in the “demand” process becomes a slave owner. The Democrat party platform is the best example of a group seeking large government to corral people for “their own good.”
Voting for a Democrat means that you support the party platform: abortion, casinos and gambling as revenue streams, higher taxes (you are the direct revenue stream for political favoritism ala Obama style politics), less return on your money, less control of your life, more government intrusion, government-run health care, European bailouts and bankrupt states (Greece, California, Illinois, etc.), political cronyism ala Chicago style politics, the Greek riots, government controlling others (while pretending that government will never control you), laziness, handouts, the perversion of marriage, more joblessness, more food stamps doled out, more crap at your expense. If you vote for a Democrat you deserve all the consequences. You still need to be spoon fed.
We avoid pain, suffering and difficulty at all costs even though to overcome these onerous things make us feel alive and gives us character. No amount of material possessions owned can do the same for us.
You can’t take it with you and even though class warfare proponents such as Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and yes, Barack Obama, say that you can have it all at another’s expense.
“A good name is more desirable than great riches. A good name should be esteemed more than silver and gold.” (The Book of Proverbs)
A generous man will himself be blessed. It is better to give than to receive. (Jesus)
“A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.” (The Book of Proverbs) How many kids spend their time in pursuit of a useless degree and find out they cannot support either themselves or give to others who are needy. This is not government’s fault. It is their doing, is it not? (see Occupy Wall Street protestors). You reap what you sow and what you don’t sow.
You cannot give what you do not have. Making others give what they have does not fulfill the requirement of you giving to others even if you call it you call it a fancy name – wealth redistribution (“social gospel” for the lazy)
Truth will come to you during your life. Act on it while you can.
Self-pity is a drag on your soul. Unload it at the next trash bin.
Holding a grudge against someone will destroy the person holding the grudge. Destroy it before it destroys you – forgive.
We are forgiven as we forgive others (Jesus).
“There is a path which seems right to a man but the end thereof is the way of death.” (The Book of Proverbs)
“The fool says to himself “There is no God.”” (The book of Psalms)
“The fear of the Lord leads to life.” (The Book of Proverbs)
“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” (The Book of Proverbs)
“So God created man in His own image…male and female He created them…God saw all that He made and it was very good.” (Genesis chapter 1)
(Note that homosexuality came after the fall of man and is a perversion of the good that had been made. You should know that those who claim to be “Gay and Proud” will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, they will not return to the garden.)
Life is short, especially for the aborted.
Women’s rights do not include destruction of a fetus – a child. Murderers, also, do not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (If you have had an abortion, repent and turn to seek God’s mercy.)
Women’s rights already include free contraception: It is a woman’s right and freedom to keep her legs together and to say “No” to sex at any time and at any place. Do be fooled by the Democrats desire to supply you with so-called “free” contraception. And, the Democrats are more concerned with population control and controlling who is born (quality of life) and how many people are born (they don’t want the planet overrun with people who will use up its natural resources.)
In a God-breathed marriage women desire love, men desire respect.
We will all give an account of our lives before our Creator. There is a heaven and there is a hell. Heaven is to be within the dancing embrace of the Trinity throughout eternity. Hell is to be alone forever, constantly thirsty for the living water, constantly in agony as you remember your life.
Like it or not you have free will. Blaming God for your life only makes you a bad rendition of a human. Rejecting your personal responsibility shows your self-indulgent pride. Sadly, there are many who wash their hands absolving themselves of responsibility. They deflect accountability by asking “What is truth?”
“Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.” (The Book of Proverbs)
The Bible contains the words of God and the factual history of Jesus:
“But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (The Gospel of John)

Imagine a candidate that seeks to make you utterly dependent on the largesse of government. Such a candidate goes way beyond promising to maintain our Constitution’s mandates, mandates which provide national security, national sovereignty and transportation networks. The rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have all been guaranteed in writing but, as we have increasingly seen, Obama the Candidate wants the pursuit part to be paid for out of money confiscated from those who have earned the money. In other words, Obama is telling people you don’t have to do anything to receive what he is offering. You just show up with a ticket (your vote) to play and then its lotto time.
If you’ve seen the “Julia” video (see my previous post) then you already know that Obama’s campaign promise is for government to be involved in every aspect of your life: from what you do in the bedroom (contraception and abortion) to your diet to your fuel to your health care to education to retirement. Cradle-to-grave you will be at the mercy of what government deems good for you. Imagine the intrusive TSA on steroids. Imagine waiting in line at a DMV for your privileges to be dispensed by a government worker. This is what Obama and the main stream media are campaigning for. Do you hear me?
Now imagine a campaign that seeks to divide a nation along racial and income lines, and along a state’s sovereignty right and immigration lines, a campaign that uses the main stream media to daily infect the nation with discord and discontent?
Obama is the direct opposite of Abraham Lincoln – keenly divisve Obama is intent on reshackling you to the likes of slave-owning fiefdoms circa pre-Civil War South. He will do this by using government programs with czars but the effect will be the same.
According to Obama’s political ideology, his characterization of you is that you are too stupid to carry on with your day-to-day life without government intervention. He wants you to want government. How odd, shortsighted and how hopeless this vision is for the American people. He wants you to go “Forward” down the aisle placing your hope and trust in him and government. He wants to hear your supplicant “Amen” loud and clear.
Obama and progressives envy Europe. They want America to emulate a socialist-democracy like Sweden. Yet, the economies of scale are vastly different between America and Sweden. It would be better if a person of such persuasion would move to Sweden in order to make their utopian dreams come true. That is until the country’s money runs out. Greece. Spain. Portugal. The European financial dominos are falling and falling fast and hard. If re-elected Obama would bring that type of ruin to America. He is in denial about the financial implications of endless open-ended government as are the heads of these European countries
Obama plays both ends against the middle: he lambastes Wall St. money makers will taking contributions from them. He baits Hollywood and homosexuals to gain votes and campaign monies while courting the black vote even though most blacks do not endorse homosexuality. Middle class values don’t matter to Obama. He has a higher vision for them – “Trust me.”
Obama discounts free enterprise most notably because it is not government. And his version of government is an organized community centered on him. Having had no experience with the free enterprise system whatsoever, Obama will still use capitalism as another weapon in his radical bag of tricks. It is common knowledge that people generally dislike, fear and perhaps hate what they do not know. Obama love-hates capitalism. Capitalism pays for his campaign but capitalism is too free-wheeling for Obama. Capitalism doesn’t need Obama so Obama ebraces government. Government loves it some Obama.
Obama’s book Dreams of My Father discloses his hatred of colonialism. Even though colonialism is non-issue in the world today Obama conflates free market enterprise expansion with colonialism. The fact that free market enterprises create jobs, choices and wealth in poor nations is lost on Obama. His anti-colonialism bent, formed in childhood, has stunted his growth, obscuring any other view of the free market. Obama doesn’t want business competing with government. Obama wants government to be a monopoly.
Imagine a President who is decidedly punitive towards those who make money, to those who create jobs, wealth and, of course, generate tax revenue along with all the good they do. Business is under attack by a two-bit President. People who do not have two nickels to rub together need businesses and jobs. But Obama is determined to undermine any free market option through imposing regulations and by doing nothing otherwise.
Imagine a President who would rather send our troops into harm’s way by sending them to the Strait of Hormuz to protect oil supplies instead of tapping into the wealth of carbon fuels readily available right here at home. Obama is against the north-south oil pipeline and off-shore drilling. Renewable energy programs such as solar and wind power generate a minute supply of energy to this nation. I know. I work in the industry. This president doesn’t have a clue about energy. He just knows that “green” is popular at the moment so he panders to the little “green” people most of whom are alien to common sense solutions.
Now imagine a candidate that has no record of positive accomplishment whatsoever. He has, though, created the biggest tax increase in history, Obamacare! Any pot smoking dead-head could have done that. Considering the relative financial backing of each candidate Mitt Romney has done more in a year to create jobs (and tax revenue along with the jobs) as a private citizen than Obama has in almost four years as POTUS.
Imagine a campaign that has no sense of history, a campaign ready and eager to repeat socialism’s blatant disasters, disasters both historic and current, simply because there is no risk to Obama or the Democrats. It is not their money on the line.
If you are clueless don’t vote for Obama. If you are in denial don’t vote for Obama. If you are desperate don’t vote Obama. If you are undecided don’t vote Obama. If you do, then hold out your wrists. Your master has shackles with your name on them.
Do you really want your wagon shackled to this?:

OBTW: In between golf games and campaigning you will find Obama working hard at what he does best: selling the American people into slavery so he can buy another round of office.
