It's been quite some time.

It's been several months since I've taken the time to sit down and write here. There's just been so much going on, I almost don't know where to begin. Every time I've tried to update, I can't decide on what to talk about because there's so much going on that you never thought would happen in this wonderful country, and it just blows my mind. Politicians talking down to those that don't agree with them like they're stupid, or being so arrogant in thinking that they can do whatever they want, because they know better than us uneducated people. Or how about the latest about a mosque being built so close to Ground Zero by a rather shady Imam. One whose wife recently has stated that the people who oppose it are basically anti-Semitic (which I'm pretty sure is hatred toward Jews, not Muslims... but maybe she was just comparing it?) The Imam himself has, in the past, supported groups like Hammas, and said virtually that al-Qaeda is no worse than America: "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on it's hands than al-Qaeda has on it's hands of innocent non-Muslims."

I can't seem to understand why we're letting our country go in the direction we're going. I can't understand why people can't see what's happening and say, "Wait a minute!!! I don't recall this being the purpose of America!!!" Those that have fought hard for our liberties in the past would literally slap us across the face for what we've let ourselves become. Our founders came to this country to get away from a government that was too big, and too intrusive, but take a look around now!!!! Try to think of an aspect of your life that the government isn't trying to get, or doesn't have already, a grip on. Name one! You can't decide anything for yourself anymore.

Something else that has bothered me a lot lately is what the wonderful Nancy Pelosi said recently. Every time I see it, it makes me want to vomit. So I apologize that I'm about to post the video.



First of all, I really can't stand that woman. You can't believe a word she says.

Anyway, there are so many parts of her little speech that is so ridiculous. First, she rambles like crazy. Second, she can't say Jesus once. She goes through great lengths to not say Jesus, God, or anything but "Word." Oh, and guess what Rep. Pelosi, the Word you're referring to isn't a word, it's God. The verse you reference is John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us...." (NIV) However, the Word talked about in this verse goes back to verse 1 of this same chapter. Which says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." When you say "The Word became flesh," guess who that's a reference to? Oh yeah, Jesus.

And while we're at it, the Word doesn't cover everything. It's not all-encompassing like you think it is. The bible says there are two paths. One is wide and leads to destruction. The other is narrow, and few find it. (The verse for that is Matthew 7:13-14.) Jesus (or the Word, if that helps) is very clear that He is the ONLY Way, Truth, and Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)

I'm sick of these progressives trying to take my Lord and Savior and make Him into someone He's not.

We need to stand up, there are people intentionally trying to destroy our faith and our country, and as of right now, it looks as if they're succeeding pretty well.

Let me just ask you this: if their path is the one you want to take, where does it lead?

That's where my tax dollars go to....

Another wonderful way to blow our tax dollars. I'm wondering if you know what it is.....

Well, most of the few of you who read this have probably already seen the commercials for the 2010 Census. You know, like the one they played during the Super Bowl.... Which probably cost over a million dollars, or close to it. Now however, they're sponsoring a NASCAR stock car for three races starting today.
I'm not completely sure just how much it costs to me a primary sponsor on a Sprint Cup car, but I'm am very sure it's more than it's worth.

The reasoning I've read about is this: for every one percent increase in mail response, they say it will save taxpayers $85 million. Apparently having to send out people to go door to door for those that don't mail it back in costs $85 million per one percent.

I'll tell you what. Seeing all the advertisements for the census does nothing to make me want to send the census back. Most of the commercials don't make any sense anyway. They're just telling people what the census is going to do. The whole "portrait of America" thing. It doesn't press the importance of sending it back it. Those that aren't going to send it back are mostly those who have such a paranoia of the government that they believe that it'll let the government watch their every move, or whatever.

All I can say is it's just stupid. Just a waste of money.

Austin Plane Crash

I'm at work, so I don't have a lot of time to talk about this on my lunch break, but here's my main point. According to this article, the person suspected of flying the plane into the office building had it in for the IRS. All I am going to say on this at this point is this: watch him be labeld as a Tea-Party nut-job of some sort.

Mark my words, someone will try to make the connection. They want the movement squashed.

Alright, well, it's been awhile....

Sorry that I haven't lived up to the promise of putting a new post on here as soon as I had wished. I'm sad to say that unlike a lot of those liberal bloggers, I have a life outside of the world wide web.

I just wanted to say a couple of things about the State of the Union address. The first thing is this: does President Obama move you to tears with his words? I don't mean make you want to cry because he is trying to completely transform the country, I mean when he speaks do his words move you? Apparently the beginning of his speech (which to me was far from memorable) was so emotionally moving, that Nancy Pelosi couldn't hold back her tears. Here's the speech in it's entirety. You don't have to watch it all, just the first couple of minutes.



After only about 30 seconds of his speech, you can start to notice her eyes watering up. Then at about 1:55 she wipes her nose and tries to maintain composure. Honestly, I didn't hear anything that could remotely bring me to tears. It's kind of sad how this guy is just worshiped.

Now that I got that out of the way, I want to get to the more important parts of the speech that I noticed. Mainly the fact that I couldn't believe someone could be so full of crap. I literally think it would hurt after awhile, being that absolutely full of crap. Starting with him talking about the letters he reads every night. "The toughest to read are those written by children. Asking why they have to move from their home; asking when their mom or dad will be able to go back to work." Now, I honestly don't believe for a minute that he cares an ounce about anyone but himself and his agenda. He doesn't listen to a word that any of the thousands upon thousands of people that have attended tea-parties have said, but yet he reads people's letters every night. Please. He doesn't have the time, he's having parties all the time. Most of he country have let him know very clearly that they don't like the spending, or any of his fiscal policies, or health care anywhere near what he wants. Yet, he keeps pushing for it. Why would I for a second actually believe that he is concerned enough to actually read letters written to him. Okay, I guess he might have someone screen the letters, and then only give him the ones from Pelosi, Chris Matthews, etc., that tell him how great he is.

Also, how arrogant is this guy? Calling out the Supreme Court? Telling Congress that he'll just sign an executive order for things if he doesn't get his way. Aren't we supposed to have a system of checks-and-balances? Three equal branches of government? Argh, how long until we can vote this guy out?

I'd say more, but I'm listening to the speech as I'm typing, and I'm annoyed. So maybe I'll add more to this later. Probably not.

Sorry

Hey everyone, I apologize that it's been so long. I've been so overwhelmed by my new job, our Christmas Choir Concert at church, car problems almost every weekend, and our new Nintendo Wii, that I've been ridiculously out of the loop. I plan on taking some time this weekend to post, but I've just been so busy lately that I haven't had much time. I'm actually updating from the computer in the shipping office at work because I'm caught up, but I have to wait on drivers to pick up their stuff. I hope to update soon, but until then just think... one year down.
