Newsweek has done it again. This (I don't know what to call it and keep it family oriented) article states that gay marriage is ok biblically. This is just obsurd I an so sick of all the media outlets ramming this crap down our throats. I would love to start a public boycott of all these outlets who are continuing to condone this behavior. Below is the link to the article.

This is an email I received today. It  made me feel thankful for the rights and freedoms I have. The ability to post this here as well as other things I write. To be able to write and speak about the wrongs in our country without fear of persecution. To worship God as a Christian without fear of being killed for my beliefs. It is quite humbling. Without these men we would not have these freedoms. Thank God and thanks to them for their sacrifice.

HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MONUMENT'S PICTURE AND NOT KNOWN THE FOLLOWING  FACTS ABOUT IT. IT'S INTERESTING AND HISTORICALLY CORRECT. THE SMALL PARAGRAPH AT THE END IS ESPECIALLY TELLING. COME WITH ME ON A FIELD TRIP TO WASHINGTON , DC.

Each year I am hired to go to Washington , DC , with the eighth grade class from Clinton , WI where I grew up, to videotape their trip. I greatly enjoy visiting our nation's capitol, and each year I take some special memories back with me. This fall's trip was especially memorable. On the last night of our trip, we stopped at the Iwo Jima memorial. This memorial is the largest bronze statue in the world and depicts one of the most famous photographs in history, that of the six brave soldiers raising the American Flag at the top of a rocky hill on the island of Iwo Jima , Japan during WW II. Over one hundred students and chaperone's piled off the buses and headed towards the memorial. I noticed a solitary figure at the base of the statue, and as I got closer he asked, 'Where are you guys from?' I told him that we were from Wisconsin 'Hey, I'm a cheese head, too! Come gather around, Cheese heads, and I will tell you a story.' (James Bradley just happened to be in Washington , DC , to speak at the memorial the following day. He was there that night to say good night to his dad, who had passed away. He was just about to leave when he saw the buses pull up. I videotaped him as he spoke to us, and received his permission to share what he said from my videotape. It is one thing to tour the incredible monuments filled with history in Washington , D.C. , but it is quite another to get the kind of insight we received that night.)

When all had gathered around, he reverently began to speak. (Here are his words that night.) 'My name is James Bradley and I'm from Antigo, Wisconsin . My dad is on that statue, and I just wrote a book called 'Flags of Our Fathers' which is #5 on the New York Times Best Seller list right now. It is the story of the six boys you see behind me.'

'Six boys raised the flag. The first guy putting the pole in the ground is Harlon Block. Harlon was an all-state football player. He enlisted in the Marine Corps with all the senior members of his football team. They were off to play another type of game. A game called 'War.' But it didn't turn out to be a game.

Harlon, at the age of 21, died with his intestines in his hands. I don't say that to gross you out, I say that because there are people who stand in front of this statue and talk about the glory of war. You guys need to know that most of the boys in Iwo Jima were 17, 18, and 19 years old,  and it was so hard that the ones who did make it home never would talk to their families about it. (He pointed to the statue)

'You see this next guy? That's Rene Gagnon from New Hampshire. If you took Rene's helmet off at the moment this photo was taken and looked in the webbing of that helmet, you would find a photograph, a photograph of his girlfriend. Rene put that in there for protection because he was scared. He was 18 years old. It was just boys who won the battle of Iwo Jima . Boys. Not old men.

'The next guy here, the third guy in this tableau, was Sergeant Mike Strank. Mike is my hero. He was the hero of all these guys. They called him the 'old man' because he was so old. He was already 24. When Mike would motivate his boys in training camp, he didn't say, 'Let's go kill some Japanese' or 'Let's die for our country.' He knew he was talking to little boys. Instead he would say, 'You do what I say, and I'll get you home to your mothers.'

'The last guy on this side of the statue is Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona . Ira Hayes was one who walked off Iwo Jima . He went into the White House with my dad. President Truman told him, 'You're a hero.' He told reporters, 'How can I feel like a hero when 250 of my buddies hit the island with me and only 27 of us walked off alive?' So you take your class at school, 250 of you spending a year together having fun, doing everything together. Then all 250 of you hit the beach, but only 27 of your classmates walk off alive. That was Ira Hayes. He had images of horror in his mind. Ira Hayes carried the pain home with him and eventually died dead drunk, face down at the age of 32 (ten years after this picture was taken on the island).

'The next guy, going around the statue, is Franklin Sousley from Hilltop, Kentucky . A fun- lovin' hillbilly boy. His best friend, who is now 70, told me, 'Yeah, you know, we took two cows up on the porch of the Hilltop General Store. Then we strung wire across the stairs so the cows couldn't get down. Then we fed them Epsom salts. Those cows crapped all night.'Yes, he was a fun-lovin' hillbilly boy. Franklin died on Iwo Jima at the age of 19. When the telegram came to tell his mother that he was dead, it went to the Hilltop General Store. A barefoot boy ran that telegram up to his mother's farm. The neighbors could hear her scream all night and into the morning. Those neighbors lived a quarter of a mile away.

'The next guy, as we continue to go around the statue, is my dad, John Bradley from Antigo, Wisconsin , where I was raised. My dad lived until 1994, but he would never give interviews. When Walter Cronkite's producers or the New York Times would call, we were trained as little kids to say 'No, I'm sorry, sir, my dad's not here. He is in Canada fishing. No, there is no phone there, sir. No, we don't know when he is coming back.' My dad never fished or even went to Canada . Usually, he was sitting there right at the table eating his Campbell 's soup. But we had to tell the press that he was out fishing. He didn't want to talk to the press. 'You see, like Ira Hayes, my dad didn't see himself as a hero. Everyone thinks these guys are heroes, 'cause they are in a photo and on a monument. My dad knew better. He was a medic. John Bradley from Wisconsin was a caregiver. On Iwo Jima he probably held over 200 boys as they died. And when boys died in Iwo Jima , they writhed and screamed, without any medication or help with the pain.

'When I was a little boy, my third grade teacher told me that my dad was a hero. When I went home and told my dad that, he looked at me and said, 'I want you always to remember that the heroes of Iwo Jima are the guys who did not come back. Did NOT come back.'

'So that's the story about six nice young boys. Three died on Iwo Jima , and three came back as national heroes. Overall, 7,000 boys died on Iwo Jima in the worst battle in the history of the Marine Corps. My voice is giving out,so I will end here. Thank you for your time.'

 Suddenly, the monument wasn't just a big old piece of metal with a flag sticking out of the top. It came to life before our eyes with the heartfelt words of a son who did indeed have a father who was a hero. Maybe not a hero for the reasons most people would believe, but a hero nonetheless. We need to remember that God created this vast and glorious world for us to live in, freely, but also at great sacrifice. Let us never forget from the Revolutionary War to the current War on Terrorism and all the wars in-between that sacrifice was made for our freedom. Remember to pray for this great country of ours and for those still in murderous unrest around the world. God Bless You and God Bless America

REMINDER: Everyday that you can wake up free, is going to be a great day. One thing I learned, while on tour with my 8th grade students in DC, not mentioned here is that if you look at the statue very closely and count the number of 'hands' raising the flag, there are 13. When the man who made the statue was asked why there were 13, he simply said the 13th hand was the hand of God.

Today I heard on Fox news this morning that some people want teachers to stop using the dreaded red pen when correcting students papers. The reason is the use of the red pen hurts the child's self esteem.

Since the dawn of time, or the Bic pen, which ever comes first, teachers have used a red pen to correct papers. The purpose was to distinguish the wrong answer from the right ones. To allow the student to see their error and be able to correct it. This is how we learn, by making mistakes and correcting them. So then we can come up with the right answer and not get the problem wrong again.  But the liberal bleeding, psyco babble, idiots are saying that the red pen makes students feel bad. The study which was done in Australia says that the color red is to agressive. This is so obsurd.

The coddling and worship of childen in our society today has raised an arrogant, defiant, mentally unstable generation that cannot handle authority or being questioned about behavior. This is study is just another way to coddle children. The bible states "spare the rod and spoil the child." This phrase is not a condoning of beating a child, but construtive criticism and correction is needed to raise a well adjusted child. Now I believe a spanking never hurt anyone, didn't hurt me. But  to say the red pen hurts a child self esteem is just crazy. When a child goes uncorrected, they feel that they are never wrong and what ever they do is ok. But in reality it's not. Many parents won't disipline their children because they want to be their friend. They do not want to be a parent. A parents job is to be a teacher to guide the child through life. Teach the child right from wrong. A teachers job is to do the same thing in the educational setting. But the political correct movement in society wants our children to be a bunch of soft, overemotional , bunch of pansies. Because the child is never seen as wrong when they hit the educational setting and when they are wrong and correction is needed they freak out, rebel and come up against the teachers disrespectfully. This behavior starts at home, with the childs tantrums towards a parent who has been coddled. Then when the parent needs to be the disiplinarian it is not received becasue the child sees the parent as their B.F.F.

So what happens to these children? They lash out in school, lash out at parents who are trying to take control when it's too late. The child will skip school, participate in high risk behavior etc. Then when the child is caught or called out on the carpet the parent says " not my kid." The parent cannot even handle their child being criticised. This just condones the childs behavior. The  pattern continues and the child either ends up out on the street, in jail or worse. I say stop with the coddling of our youth. Stop worrying about their "self esteem." To not correct a child when wrong is more damaging than correcting them.  Self esteem does not come from how we raise or not raise our children. It comes when the child realizes that self in unimportant that the One who created you, who placed you here for His purpose is important. When that is realized and the love that the Creator has for you is greater than any love given by a parent or teacher then you have self esteem.  Until then, anything else is a lie.

I remember friends of mine going to college to further themselves in education and get a degree. Some lawyers, some engineers and so on.  But some went and didn't know what they wanted to do so they got a degree in liberal arts. Back then that was a degree for the undecided, those who didn't know what they wanted, but a least they had the degree and could get a job requiring a degree.

I am not college educated. All my experience is life experience. My views have been formulated by what happens around me as I live my life. But is seems today liberal arts is much more. It is and actual science that teaches people to think freely and questions on everything around them. It is to open the mind to all ways of thinking, to see all sides. So my question is this why do we need a degree in this? Is this not the human nature? To be inquisitive and curious. To ask questions about who, what were and why? What I really think it is, is the indoctrination of people who are confused and have no direction into a liberal mindset. A sort of brainwashing if you will. To get them to think along the lines of the liberal. To be tolerant of all types of people and behavior. To realize that no one is wrong, just everyone is different and to embrace these differences. No matter the moral or ethical stance these differences take.

This is were our country has gone wrong. Our country was based on a belief system. A Judeo, Christian belief system that has moral and ethical foundation. With a set of right behaviors that are accepted and a set of wrong behaviors that are accepted. The problem is the freethinkers want to abolish all of that and make everything rosy and bright. To take these beliefs and dismiss them a irrelevant for today on the premise that they were set over 200 years ago and the world has changed.

They are right the world has changed. The world has changed because no one has challenged these freethinkers these liberal artist, if you may, over the views the are forcing all of us to swallow. We as a nation have basically thrown away our moral and ethical standards to replace them with views of what ever you do is ok if it feels good and so forth. To be tolerant and politically correct. This thinking is going to be our demise. Ancient Greece was once a mighty empire, it's downfall was the age of enlightenment that took hold in its time. They started to throw away their beliefs and embrace all sorts of things. This in turn weakened their empire and caused them to fall. That is what is happening here.

We have taken our belief, our constitution, and thrown them away. We allow for to much melding of beliefs from other societies to our view points of a minority group to over run our society. For example gay marriage, this is un-biblical, unnatural and goes against every belief in our constitution. But it is being forced down our throats. Our school teachers are forcing it down are children's throats, our media is making it a number one issue. But if this is passed what about the people who want polygamy? What does that do for them? It opens the door for them to challenge the laws that ban that practice. What about those who want to marry the family dog? This opens a whole can of worms. How did this start? Liberal arts thats how. Then we have the indoctrination of Islam in our schools. Many schools allow for Muslims children to go pray at certain times. Why is this allowed? My child cannot do this. If my child, a Christian, stated she had to go pray, the teacher would laugh at her and tell her to sit down. But because a child wears a burka to school she is allowed? I don't get it. Were is the ACLU on this? Isn't this the state allowing for a religious practice on public property? Why can't I put up a nativity scene in the park down the street? See were I am going with this?

As a Christian I cannot hate some one for what they do or who they say they are. But that does not mean I have to be tolerant of their behavior. Remember Jesus stated hate the sin, but love the sinner. Liberal arts are destroying this country. We are indoctrinating a whole group of people to be weak minded individuals. With no moral or ethical compass. When we as a nation have no firm foundation as far as beliefs go we will fall and cease to exist. This is what is coming to our nation. Our fall, our conquering by outside entities. This nation will no longer exist as it is if this does not stop. We will be in the history books along with the Greeks, Romans and other fallen empires who got to big and open minded for their britches. Conquered from the inside out.

How ironic is it that today Illinois governor Rod Bull****ovich was arrested on corruption charges. How much longer will it be before Tony Rezko spills all the beans and drags Obama, Rhambo and others into this as well. It is just absurd, that Americans can vote people into office like this. Worst part is that they stay there for many years. While we here on the right have had our black sheep Ted Stevens, Tom Feeney, and others. It seems that you cannot go a day without hearing about some corruption on the left.

Charlie " I didn't know" Rangle and his financial misdealings. Not paying taxes on a rental property he owns off shore. Getting sweetheart deals for low income housing etc. Sad thing he is still in office and heads up the House finance commitee. Just who I want wtching our money. Then we have the congressman from Louisianna William " keep it cool" Jefferson who stashed the ill gotten money in his freezer figuring it would cool off. Don't forget Chris Dodd senator from Connecticut who got a sweetheart "special" mortgage from Countrywide before they went belly up. Then Barney " Elmer Fudd" Frank who had a sexual affair with a man from Fannie Mae. What kind of conflict of interest does this cause with Frank being on the House Banking Commitee. Can we say Hilliary Clinton and Whitewater? The list goes on.

My point is I can't stand when the left sits there and says how corrupt the right is and Bush messed things up etc. But then they run around and play their mob style buy your way in tactics. I remember Nancy Pelosi saying how she was going to clean up Capitol Hill. If that is the case she sure isn't doing much. Everything that has been done was done by outside agencies. Besides if she does act on her word, no one will be left from her party. They all will be in jail. The hypocracy is so sickening that I almost can't bear it.

Ms Pelosi a wiseman once said "those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones." So before you continue on your tyrades in congress on the failed economic policies of George Bush, look at the failed economic policies of your own party. Seems that the only difference in the failings is all of your parties actions have been illegal and they got caught.

Radical Muslims are infiltrating our country and our economic system by endorsing and pushing for sharia finance practices and investments in our markets. Many companies use some of these practices to entice Arabs with big oil dollars to invest in them. Companies like AIG, UBS and S & P and others use some of these principles. In fact our own government is in on the game. In partnership with the Islamic Finance Project at the Harvard Law School the US Treasury Department is holding a forum entitled "Islamic Finance 101." The aim of this forum is to educate our banking regulatory officials and the US Congress on the fundamentals of Islamic banking. One of the people speaking at this forum is former AIG executive and the person Hank Paulson put in charge of the 700 billion dollar bailout Neel Kashkari. Interesting don't you think?

The Islamization of the United States is at hand. Companies that are receiving bailout money are using it to create investments based in sharia law to lure money into there firms. The catch is that some of the profits must be then donated to Muslim organizations. I find this a scary situation that is being back doored into our country by Wall Street. Remember many of these organizations used our money to fund Bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks. The fact that our government is involved and condoning it is even worse. Below I will put links and a video regarding this subject. This is an issue of great national security that no one is talking about. In fact our government is participating. It is time we take our country back.

I have seen posts in blogs and on the news that the EPA is considering a flatulence tax for farmers who raise livestock. Now my question is who is the idiot that is even bringing this up? Who in there right mind could even consider that all the cows, pigs, horses etc. could produce enough gas to hurt the enviroment? This is the biggest waste of taxpayer time and money I have ever heard of.  What I really like to know is who is the jerk that did the research to come to this conclusion.

Farmers with herds of 25 animals or more will be taxed 175 dollars annually for the emissions originating from their animals. So then this tax will be passed on to us consumers becasue we all know that meat prices will then go up to cover the tax. I think there are bigger causes of air pollution than a bunch of farm animals farting.

I have stated in a few comments posted on other blogs here is to tax congress. They eliminate more flatulence every time they are in session than every cow and pig in the world. Each time one of those genus's opens their mouths the toxic putrid gas that comes out will wither foliage on contact. I bet if you did studies on those who are in service in congress from the time they took office until now you will see signs of brain damage. We al know that CO2 and methayne gas is poisonous to humans. With all that gas trapped in the capitol building it would be apparent the members of congress are suffering from sever impairment due to lack of oxygen. Just this past week Harry Reid praised the completion of the new congressional visitors center. Reid stated that the smell eminating from the tourist in the summer time in the old unairconditioned center was offensive. But since the dems took over the project the price went sky high way over budget, and took longer than expected. Why is this? Because smell Harry Reid is talking about is not from the tourist, but rather coming into the Rotunda from both house in congress. If Harry Reid doesn't want to smell the smell anymore then he should encourage his comrads to shut their mouths.

So here is my plan. Starting in congress we should set up emissions standards. Similar to the standards set in California and other states. Every year as each member walks into congress we stop them and test their emissions. Then once they pass we place a sticker on them stating that they pass. If they fail then they have to get fixed, or leave congress. Our enviroment is more important than anything that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and the cast of thousands has to say.

As of now because of this controversy scientist at NOAA are conducting tests over Washington. They are trying to see if there is a hole over Washington in the ozone, or if there is any damage to it becasue of the toxic, dangerous, emissions coming from there.

I found a little tidbit yesterday about the use of private jets for corporate use as well a government use. Did you know that the Speaker of The House has it's own Air Force jet. No other member of Congress has access to one funded publically. The appropriation of this jet was done after Newt Gingrich left office. This matter was brought up while he was serving as Speaker and has stated he was against it since day one.  But since the democrats took control in 2006 Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested the jet from George Bush. Bush granted the use of an Air Force jet for Pelosi to use when traveling on government business. No other speaker has had access to a jet. She is no tthe only one that is allowed to fly on it either. She can fly staffers and her family on the plane on our dime. This woman is a multi millionare and can more than afford the travel expenses.  The reasoning behind this move of giving her access to an Air Force jet is security reasons. Which is bogus. It is just a symbol of Pelosi's arrogance and trying to elevate her position equal to the presidentcy. Remember Lucifer fell trying to be like God. He took a third of the angels in heaven with him. Pelosi better get her arrogance in check before she falls, remember pride cometh before the fall.

But here is the kicker. In the Big Three bailout hearings the CEO's of all three companies were chastised for their use of company jets to travel to Washington on the premise you are asking for a bailout but you can afford to fly on private jets. Well news flash to all you congressional morons, you pushed for Pelosi to get a jet when our nation can't really afford it. This ties up Air Force personal to fly her around. These people can be used in a better capasity defending our country not shuttling the pre-Madonna Speaker of The House around.

Then there is the cost.  I am sure everytime Pelosi needs to fly it costs quite a bit of money for the jet to leave the ground. Some have described the jet she uses as an airborn Lincoln bedroom. How ridiculous is this? Why does she have to have this? Is she so elite that she can't fly with us commoners? Are us in the unwashed masses to unclean to be in her presence? When did the Unites States start elevating these idiots to royalty? The fact is as with the Big Three we as a nation cannot afford it. If Pelosi wants a private jet, she can afford her own. I do not want to foot the bill for her extravigant needs. She is supposed to be a servant of the people of  the United States. So I believe she needs to act like one.

Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid and all you others who are looking down and judging the CEO's for using private jets when they can't afford it, look in your own back yard. Again we as a nation cannot afford to pay the huge cost to shuttle Pelosi's butt around on a private jet either. So give it up and clean up your own back yards before you judge private industries for their excesses. Remember those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

I found this group on Drudge Report. They are trying to get 1 million people signed up before Inauguration Day to oppose Obama and the Liberals. While in the pledge of the organization it states we will respect Obama, we will resist his liberal causes. Here is the link to the site for those of you who want to sign up. We need to resist as much as possible, while being respectful unlike the other side. To be bigger than them and show we do have class even in our fight.

Ok, in the world we live in it is apparent that a gay lifestyle is being more and more acceptable. I read on another blog here that a child was sent home with a questionare about a child's heterosexuality. Trying to show statistics at why being straight is bad. What the hell is going on? Why are our schools pumping our children so full of this crap? This is just getting out of control and our society and government is helping this agenda.

First what is wrong with heterosexuality? Nothing it is essencial for the continuation of the human race. If we were all gay the human existance would have ended a long time ago. For all of you out there that say gays have no choice you are wrong. To say it is caused by a gene or DNA is obsurd. It is a choice. If enough homosexuals sat down with a shrink it probably would be determined the time when the decision, conscious or subconscious, was made. If God wanted men to sleep with men or women to sleep with women the he would of created us so that procreation could happen without the opposite sex. I don't mean in a petri dish either. For all you evolutionist out there, people would have evolved with both sets or sex organs to enable procreation with either sex. But that would put us as asexual like the earthworm.

But seeing as I believe in creation I don't think God would screw that up. In Genesis we see what happened at Sodom and Gomora when they came after Lot and his family. The men who were after Lot's family were not after the women but the men in the house. Why do you think they call it Sodomy? Second look what happened to Sodom and Gomora, they were destroyed by God because of the sexual sin which is an abomination in the sight of God. Why do you think our country and the world is having so many problems right know. Judgement people, for the sexual impurity that is going on, plus other sins as well. But look at the problems homosexuallity causes.

I have seen statistics that show that homosexual relationships have a worse sucess rate than hetero relationships.  More gay relationships have some sort of abuse than straight relationships. Many gays are substance abusers or have some sort of disorder because of the mental torment they feel for being gay. The lack of acceptence is the excuse. But if it so right why do you act as if it is so wrong. Look were AIDS started, in the gay community first. Can any body think why? Judgement from God maybe? The only reason is spread like it has is because of the other sinful behaviors that go along with gay lifestyles. Drug use, bi sexual relationships, promescuity etc.

Now in no way am I gay bashing here. I have nothing against gay people. I do not hate them, but I hate what they do. Remember Jesus teaches to hate the sin but love the sinner. That is what I believe. Now many gays have become straight through the church. I have seen it happen. Deliverance from the demon that controls them and causes them to act in that way. Now many of you may say I am nuts saying it is demonic, but look, the evidence I gave above there is no physical rhyme or reason on the creation end or evolution end why homosexuality is natural. It is a psychological problem. No different than schizophrenia, depression, addiction, etc. I believe these problems have a demonic element to them as well. Which causes a person to think in a wrong way. With counseling and prayer and God, one can be set free from it's bondage.

But to sit there and push it in school and ram it down our throats is wrong. I would never force my religious beliefs on anyone or my lifestyle so why should a group of people force their way of life down ours.  Just live your lives and leave us straight people alone and we will do the same. If you want help there are many of us here that will help you out of the sin you live in and help you on a path to God. If not thats ok too. That is between you and God, not you and me.

Over the past years Atheist have attacked Christmas. Calling the phrase Merry Christmas offensive. One Atheist has put a plaque in the Washington State capitol stating that Jesus is a myth, Christians have stolen their holiday of the Winter Solstice.

So here I am again writing about this subject. One the Winter Solstice is a pagan holiday. If you are an Atheist then you would not believe in that either. Because the pagans worship gods as well. Second do any of you Atheists buy Christmas presents for your family and friends? Do you take the day off of work and celebrate the day off with gathering of family and friends? If you do, you are celebrating Christmas. You all are acting like hypocrites. To buy presents for loved ones, and take the day off from work is celebrating the holiday we as Christians hold dear. Today on Fox and Friends one Atheist went as far as calling the baby Jesus a little dictator.

With the election come and gone, we can see the ushering of a new way of life in the United States. This way of life has been coming for a long time, just not as visible as now. The Supreme Court was never created to pass laws, but over time it's decisions become the law of the land. Our system of checks and balances is broken. Our lawmakers can create and pass a law for the good of the people, but a few who do not agree can challenge the law. Then based on ideology, not the constitution, the court can say the law stays or the law goes. Hence the battle for the types of judges each side wants appointed. I thought justice was blind and without prejudice, I guess not.

Democracies through out history have come and gone. None really last. Why, because each one strays from the basic principles that they are founded on.  Democracy is supposed to be rule of the people. Each person having a voice in the destiny of the country. But history shows that as each democracy becomes more tolerant of views other than its core values the faster it falls. I am not saying that we need to be intolerant to others that are different, but rather the beliefs of a small number of people should not be imposed on the majority of the people in the country. Case in point the proposition 8 battle in California. The majority of the people voted to ban gay marriage, while the minority is being allowed to challenge the majorities decision. 

Another way for a democracy to fall is by the overwhelming rule of one party. All democracies have multiply parties based on the peoples beliefs. Each party runs to have their voice heard in government. while there are majorities and minorities all voices are heard and no one party can run ramped in its governing. This is another check and balance of a democracy. But when one party gets to much power, anything can happen. One government comes to mind with that thought, NATZI Germany.

In 1933 Hitler won election to lead Germany. His party, the NATZI party also won an overwhelming majority in the German parliament. The first thing Hitler did with the parties backing was to outlaw all opposition parties. The next thing he did was to disband parliament and create a dictatorship. Because the parliament was all Hitler backers, these measures passed overwhelmingly without opposition.

Why is the German example relevant to the Unites States today? The American public voted an overwhelming majority in congress and as president. Electing a president that could very well not be an American citizen. But mostly electing a government with no checks and balances due to the overwhelming majority of one party. Could what happened in Germany happen here? Yes it could. The Germans allowed for military occupation of it's own country by it's own military. Obama wants a "security force" with military powers on US soil. Will he get it? He could, with the  majority his party holds in government. Could he impose a dictatorship in the US, disbanding congress? Yes he can, not legally, but with the vast disregard for the constitution going on already, it doesn't matter. With the support he has in congress, with his worshipers in all the key seats of power there, it can happen. 

Now these things are likely not to happen, but when one party in a democracy is given to much power the example above is what happens. When a democracy moves from rule of the people to rule of the government this is what happens. When the core beliefs a democracy is founded on are disregarded, it is only a matter of time before it falls. So in the end the way of life we have enjoyed as a nation for over two hundred years, is crumbling and passing away. I hope all the people wake up before it's too late.  

During his campaign Barack Obama stated he would fight for health care reforms. In the past few weeks he has announced who will serve in his cabinet and the people who will serve in the highest seats of power in his administration. Tom Daschle has been selected as HHS (Heath and Human Services) secretary. Since this time Obama's health care team has announced it's number one priority that it will focus on during Obama's administration. No it's not steming the rise of health care costs. No it's not making sure everyone is covered under some sort of health insurance. The number one priority of this team is the growing epidemic of obesity in the United States.

Thats right obesity. This wil be the teams main focus. Sorry for all you people who voted for Obama in the hope that you will get a new government sponsored program. Sorry to all of you who thought Obama would bring change to government and have them look out for you. Nope they are only looking at how many Big Macs you wil be eating in your lifetime. Your health care costs will not go down, but the new " One Double Cheeseburger A Week Act" will allow you to save the money needed to pay for your healthcare. It will also allow you to control your cholesterol intake and get your health back in order so you won't need insurance. All this will be brought to you by the Tofu manufacturers lobby.

While yes obesity is a problem in the United States. I don't think it is up to the federal government to try and fix it. If the American public wants to be fat let them. Who is going to pay the consequences not any of us, just the fat guy in the room. The individual will pay the ultimate price for their McNugget addiction.

All kidding aside, this is just more politics as usual. A candidate who ran on a platform to get elected, not sticking to what they promise. Obama knew form the get go he would not be able to reform healtcare. The insurance company lobby is to powerful and large. He cannot stand up to it. Until the power is taken from the insurance comapnies to dictate an indviduals healthcare, no one will fix it. This is just a sign of things to come. Not change we can believe in, but more of the same we know will happen.

Below is an ad that ran in the Chicago Tribune asking Obama to release his official birth certificate. Following is a tv ad listing the states who are suing over his citizenship as well as some facts regarding Obama's citizenship. Sorry for the print ad being so blurry. It was scanned in and I had to shrink it to fit. I hope it can still be read.
