Ourdays Report
It does not take a rocket scientist to see that our nation is in trouble. We have moved so far away from God that even our children no longer believe there is God. Now that is sad! We, as their parents and grandparents, are at fault. We have failed in teaching our children the principles that make this nation strong, and we have failed to hold fast to the standards ourselves that prove to them that there is a God and we are a nation that believes in Him. I was just reading comments on a past …
Was Gingrich fined $300,000 for House ethics violations or was he exonerated and only paid for a mistake made by his lawyers that cost the Committee an extra $300,000.00– which he repaid? Here are the facts that I took from a NewsMax.com report. Read it and then you decide.
* The record of the House debate in January 1997 as recorded in the Congressional Record, supports Gingrich’s contention that the $300,000 he paid was a “reimbursement” or “sanction” related to legal fees, but not a fine or admission of any wrongdoing.
* Media accounts continue to refer to the payment as a fine, although the official Ethics Committee report on the matter states it was reimbursement.
* Gingrich paid the cost of legal bills associated with a multi-year House inquiry. The charge was that he had misused a tax-exempt organization he controlled for political purposes.
* The ethics charges reportedly had their origins in a complaint filed against Gingrich in September of 1994 by then-Rep. Ben Jones, D-Ga., who was running against Gingrich for office. Among the allegations: That the speaker received inappropriate gifts and had received improper contributions from GOPAC
* The report stated that the committee, “by a roll call vote of 7-1, [is] recommending that Representative Gingrich be reprimanded and ordered to reimburse the House for some of the costs of the investigation in the amount of $300,000.”
* Lets see, the IRS says Gingrich’s courses were “educational in content yet the ethics charges alleged that a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization paid for two courses Gingrich taught, titled Renewing American Civilization, were “substantially motivated by partisan, political goals.”
* In my opinion, the charge is hogwash and politically motivated because Democrats had lost Control after 40 years and they were ticked-off!
* If the IRS says the courses were educational in content and If no mention of being politically motivated, then why did they go after him? They went after him because the organization he was associated with was a nonprofit organization and that gave them an opening. It appears to me that “politics are politics”.
* The report later stated that “the appropriate sanction should be a reprimand and a payment reimbursing the House for some of the costs of the investigation in the amount of $300,000.”
* The report quoted Special Counsel Cole as stating that “the appropriate sanction for the conduct described in the original Statement of Alleged Violations is a reprimand and the payment of $300,000 toward the cost of the preliminary inquiry.” Yet, at no point did the report refer to the $300,000 as a fine,which would imply a judicially imposed penalty. In my opinion, Gingrich’s claim is accurate and I believe his statement is the bottom line in this discussion:
On Monday, Gingrich insisted: “And the fact is, on every single ethics charge of substance that was dismissed in the end, the only thing we did wrong is we had … one letter was in error. I didn`t pay a fine. I paid the cost of going through the process of determining it was wrong.”
Former GOP Rep. Bob Walker, who represented Pennsylvania’s 16th Congressional District from 1977 to 1997, came to the former speaker’s defense on Tuesday, and supported his account of what happened.
Walker said that Gingrich was “totally exonerated” on the 84 charges leveled by Democrats, which he described as “just malicious.”
“Ultimately, they came to the conclusion that Newt needed better representation,” Walker told Newsmax on Tuesday. “And actually, that’s what he was reprimanded for, for these documents that were misfiled with the committee. Newt agreed as they were finishing up the investigation, to reimburse the committee $300,000, which they claimed was the cost of the additional investigation that they had to do.
“So he personally stepped forward to reimburse the committee at that point,” Walker said. “In the committee report, it says specifically that this is a reimbursement by Newt Gingrich, and that it was not a fine. The Democrats of course immediately stepped forward and called it a fine, but on the House floor during the debate, and in the document itself, it makes the specific statement that there was no fine involved, that this was a reimbursement for the cost of the additional investigation.”
FreedomWorks chairman and former House Majority Leader Rep. Dick Armey told CNN: “Newt had problems, but I don’t think it was accurate to say he resigned in disgrace.” Armey added: “By the time he left his speakership, he had resolved all the ethical allegations that had been alleged and formally charged against him.”
Despite the fact that the House Ethics Committee specified the payment by Gingrich was not a fine, reporters routinely continue to describe it that way. A USAToday fact-checking piece published Tuesday said of Gingrich’s response: “Technically he’s correct. The Ethics Committee report [page 94] didn’t call it a fine, but rather a ‘payment reimbursing the House for some of the costs of the investigation.’”

Racism is an ugly stain on our history, from which we must learn and not make the same mistake again. Americans have been vile to just about any race or group of people that we don’t like. For example: Christians, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims and Jews. Also we’ve been merciless to American Indians, African Americans, Portuguese, Cubans, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese. Terrible crimes have been committed against these groups of people. Lives were taken, property stolen, and their civil rights ignored. These groups of people were segregated and killed if they had the nerve to stand up for their rights.
I am a Mormon. My ancestors were beaten, killed, and exterminated from the land by their own government. Mormon property was stolen or burned down and they were forced to flee without adequate supplies to face the freezing cold winter. Many of them died on the trails. After many pleas made to the government for restitution, the Mormons were never paid for the property stolen from them and they never saw justice. So yes, I understand prejudice treatment.
My friend Brenda and I were talking about this topic some time ago. I was complaining about the ridiculous claim by some CHRISTIANS that Mormons are a cult and that they are not Christians.
I said, “I can’t believe the gall some people have to redefine Christianity — especially since the definition is very clear in the scriptures that a ‘Christian’ is a believer and follower of Christ. Who do these pompous people think they are when telling me that I am not a Christian because I don’t fit into their definition of Christian? I wonder how Christ feels about that attitude?”
She, being an African American, replied with a obvious response. She said, “Yes, but you don’t wear you’re Mormon on your skin. People don’t know you are Mormon until you tell them but people know I am black the minute they see me.” Her comment took the breathe from me. She was right, and the same is true with Indians, orientals, Mexicans, and Arabs.
The reason for why we are being mistreated and our civil rights violated doesn’t matter, the point is that we are either part of the problem because we say or do nothing to condemn it when we see it. We are all the same color on the inside and we all want the same things out of life. We are all human and all God’s creations. No one is better than another in His eyes so how can we think we have a right to judge someone by race, creed, or beliefs? Who do we think we are anyway?
Please watch this 57 minute video about Martin Luther King and apply it to situations that you see going on around you! This terrible evil is one we cannot afford to be unleashed again in America. We need to love and respect each other, which means blacks respect whites and whites respect blacks (and so forth). Today, we often see reverse discrimination and that is just as wrong. My prayer is that we learn from such times and grow to be a better society.
It appears the reason voters are so disgusted with Congress right now is that polarization of the two parties makes it difficult for the People’s Work to get done. Democrats won’t budge from their position on spending and entitlements and Republicans won’t budge from the mandate they received in November 2010 elections to cut spending and balance the budget.
How do the two parties find compromise when their goals are so polarized? Whatever they do they are bound to receive a backlash from constituents, so they hold fast to their positions and maintain career goals. This is exactly the reason Members of Congress will do nothing to risk status quo. The loser, of course, is The People’s Business not getting done as needed. The idea is to not upset the apple cart and hope kicking the can down the road a little longer will work for now; letting somebody else risk their career to do something about the problem.
If polarization is the problem, what can we do to change this situation? Can we do anything except complain and continue to be part of the problem? My suggestion is that we become part of the solution and help Congress do the right thing. Personally, I believe we can do something to help the situation by giving up some of our comforts and becoming more responsible for the demands that we place on Congress.
Think about it:
These questions are relevant now because our nation is at the crossroads. If we continue on the path that we are on, we will become like Europe — just another socialist nation. Many socialist nations are presently failing because of huge debt and their population is dependent on socialist programs that their country can no longer afford. If we protect the system that gives us the American Way of Life, then we need to get off this path. We need to get back to the foundation that set up America as the most successful economy in the world.
If you ask most of the Old Timers about how they see America now, as compared to the past, they will likely tell you that we are off track and destroying America. On the other hand, when you speak to the youth of America, they will likely tell you that it’s time America changes and join the global society. It’s this type of thinking that’s behind the progressive movement and why they want to take America in another direction. These differences are the reason we see a problem in Congress.
Not only are we talking about the views of constituents being represented in Congress, but also about the vision progressives and conservatives have for the future of this nation. The progressive movement is becoming more assertive and succeeding in getting their policies passed into law. At the same time, conservatives (who were silent and complacent) are waking up and becoming more committed to protecting Conservative Policies set by the Founding Fathers.
Whatever point of view you hold, is it really worth destroying America to get what you want? Is it worth the sacrifices of all those who gave up so much to bestow the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today? I do not believe you fully understand what the greener side of the fence will provide…believing that everyone under a Socialist or Communist system will be on the same level and taken care of, with no poor or wealthy among us.
Be sure to read the followup articles about alternative choices of government: Socialism and Communism.
Wikipedia says Socialism is an economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and cooperative management of the economy; or a political philosophy advocating such a system.[1] ”Social ownership” may refer to any one of, or a combination of, the following:cooperative enterprises, common ownership, direct public ownership or autonomous State enterprises.[2][3] There are many variations of socialism that differ in the degree of social ownership they champion and in their mechanisms for economic coordination.
A socialist economic system would be based on production for use: the direct allocation of economic inputs to meet economic demands and human needs (use value), with accounting based on physical quantities of resources, a common physical magnitude, or a direct measure of labour-time.[4]
As a political movement, socialism includes a diverse array of political philosophies, ranging from reformism to revolutionary socialism. Proponents of state socialism advocate for the nationalisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange as a strategy for implementing socialism. Social democrats advocate redistributive taxation and government regulation of capital within the framework of a market economy.[5] In contrast,anarchism and libertarian socialism advocate direct worker’s control of the means of production without relying on state power to achieve such an arrangement, while also opposing parliamentary politics and state ownership over the means of production.
Modern socialism originated from an 18th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticised the effects of industrialisation and private property on society. Although in the early 19th-century the term “socialism” referred to any concern for the social problems of capitalism, regardless of the solution, by the late 19th-century, socialism had come to signify opposition to capitalism and an alternative system based on some form of social ownership.[6]Utopian socialists such as Robert Owen (1771–1858) tried to found self-sustaining communes by secession from a capitalist society. Socialists inspired by the Soviet model of economic development, such as Marxist-Leninists, have advocated the creation of centrally planned economies directed by a single-party state that owns the means of production. Yugoslavian, Hungarian, East German and Chinese communist governments have instituted various forms of market socialism, combining co-operative and state ownership models with the free market exchange and free price system (but not free prices for the means of production).[7]
As the late Adrian Rogers said, “you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” This man is truly a genius!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
The class had insisted that Obama’s socialism works, arguing that no one would be poor or rich, and that it would be a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a “B”. The students who studied hard were upset and those who studied little were happy.
I can’t say it any better than this teacher has and make the point so clearly.
Commenter 1: “Spending our way out of Debt” [is] the motto that has run countries into the ground since the concept of money began.
Commenter 2: That’s absolutely true. In real life it’s called self-reliance. When people don’t learn how to do things for themselves they are dependent on benefactors. But when a benefactor decides to change the rules or to not give then there is a problem. This system is actually a mental illness, it’s called co-dependence. When government deliberately makes people dependent on them they are also co-dependent. They feel valued when they make people dependent on them for sustenance. In this type of situation, both parties need therapy.
Commenter 3: That is the true outcome of socialism. All teachers should teach [this]. In just that method.
Teacher of The Year sounds Good to me!
Commenter 4: Very brilliant teacher…He should be Obama’s advisor.
Commenter 5: Sorry, Obama doesn’t take advise. I would add a “lol” but it’s not funny anymore.
What do you think about this teacher and the lesson he taught his students on Socialism?

If America keeps spending itself into oblivion and China keeps loaning us money to cover thedebt, what do you think will happen when China calls in her loans? China will own us! So, how do you feel about China owning America, being that it’s a communist nation?
Some Progressives want Americans to think that Communism and Socialism are better alternatives to capitalism and want America to welcome these alternative forms of government. Please read The Cold War I: Communism versus Capitalism.
During the reign of the Soviet Union, there were communist countries throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. Communist countries in the twentieth century included Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Congo, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Ethiopia, Hungary, Mongolia, Mozambique, Poland, Romania, Somalia, South Yemen, Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia.
Today, there are only five communist countries in the world: China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea,
November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall–the most potent symbol of the Cold War division of Europe–came down. Earlier that day, the communist authorities of the German Democratic Republic had announced the removal of travel restrictions to democratic West Berlin. Thousands of East Germans streamed into the West, and in the course of the night, celebrants on both sides of the wall began to tear it down.
The collapse of the Berlin Wall was the culminating point of the revolutionary changes sweeping east central Europe in 1989. Throughout the Soviet bloc, reformers assumed power and ended more than 40 years of dictatorial communist rule.The reform movement that ended communism in east central Europe began in Poland. Solidarity, an anti-communist trade union and social movement, had forced Poland’s communist government to recognize it in 1980 through a wave of strikes that gained international attention. In 1981, Poland’s communist authorities, under pressure from Moscow, declared martial law, arrested Solidarity’s leaders, and banned the democratic trade union. The ban did not bring an end to Solidarity. The movement simply went underground, and the rebellious Poles organized their own civil society, separate from the communist government and its edicts.

CHINA: ”Socrates in Shanghai: reports about China’s economic prosperity often obscure the serious problems the pace of development is creating for the world’s most populous nation. Nowhere is the distance between China’s Communist past and its hypercapitalist present more evident than in the gap between wealthy urban elites and dirt-poor villagers in the provinces.”
A Communist nation like China, claiming their system is superb, still has a huge gap between wealthy and the dirt-poor. In addition, because of HIV infections, China’s health-care system fails millions of people. This means the claim that Communism is good for the people because there are no wealthy or poor among them and that everyone’s needs are cared for by the government is an outright lie.
North Korea
Source: CIA World Factbook, 2007 Korea, which was captured by Japan in World War II, was divided following the war into a Soviet north and American south. Despite being led by the USSR beginning in 1945, North Korea did not become a communist country until 1948.
General Lord Guthrie, the former Chief of the General Staff, has spoken to The Evening Standard on the prospect of embalming Kim Jong-il. North Korean officials may want to think otherwise: It’s [North Korea] the most depressing place I’ve ever been in my life.
North Korea is making nuclear weapons and is helping Iran achieve their goal of obtain nuclear weapons as well. Neither nation, Iran or Korea are known for being peaceful nations toward their neighbors and the West. An example of Korea’s aggressiveness against it’s neighbors is when it fired on a South Korean Island. Then North Korea increased the rhetoric when the USS George Washington’s weekend maneuvers, while South Korea is being hit with artillery fire, frustrated the situation more between the North and South.
Possible war by an accidental firing in North Korean waters by South Korea: North Korea raised their rhetoric that they will respond by a thousand-fold if U.S. does not leave prompting China to call for emergency meetings. Keep in mind that this happened after an overwhelming conclusion that [a] torpedo was fired by a North Korean submarine and killed 400 South Korean seamen on the ship. Experts from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden concluded that there was no other plausible explanation for the sinking of the South Korean ship.
Laos officially the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, became a communist country in 1975 following a revolution that was supported by Vietnam and the Soviet Union.
Vietnam was partitioned at a 1954 conference that followed the First Indochina War. While the partition was supposed to be temporary, North Vietnam became communist and supported by the Soviet Union while South Vietnam was democratic and supported by the United States. Following two decades of war, the two parts of Vietnam were unified and in 1976, Vietnam as a unified country became a communist country.
Communist (successor) parties in Central Europe: the varying roles that modern communist parties play in the Czech Republic and Central and Eastern Europe.(TWENTY YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC TRANSFORMATION) (The New Presence: The Prague Journal of Central European Affairs)
On 27 June, the Czech public commemorated the 59th anniversary of the death of Dr. Milada Horakova, a pro-democratic Czech politician who was executed by the nascent Communist government on trumped up charges of conspiracy and treason. A victim of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia as well, Horakova had been imprisoned during the war. Anniversaries such as this one remind Czech society (sometimes not for better but for worse) of the inroads the former paranoid regime made into society and its inhumane treatment of the non-Stalinist left . It is safe to say that while most of these anniversaries may generally pass unnoticed, a new trend is on the rise. This year Horakova’s show-trial was neither forgotten, nor overlooked, but broadcast on Czech public service television from 31 May to 9 June.
In response to this broadcast, the Czech Republic’s domestic communist party leader and the deputy chairman of the EU parliament, Vojtech Filip, gave an inappropriate speech criticizing Czech TV for broadcasting the trial just before the EU parliamentary elections. Filip opined that the broadcast would deter voters from voting for the current Czech communist party. While its battle for seats in Brussels did not end so badly, the speech and elections left a certain unpleasant aftertaste. The speech was analyzed from various angles, so much so that …
With all this history of failing Communism and only 5 nations still Communist, why would anyone think that Communism is the path that America should take?
If Communism was so good for the people, then why did people in those nations rebel and give up their lives to be rid of this evil form of government?
Today in Congress: January 08, 2012
House: Not In Session Will be officially back in session on Jan. 17thSenate: Not In Session Will convene on Monday Jan. 23rd

When the Senate returns, under Sen. Reid’s prioritization, they will be discussing the PIPA Bill; which is the internet censorship bill. Click on the link to read it all and share it with your online communities. This is important information.
On January 23rd, the United States Senate will reconvene to begin legislative business for 2012. After the first order of business is taken care of, Majority Leader Harry Reid will then continue the process he started on December 17th of moving PIPA towards a Senate floor vote….
On January 24th, Majority Leader Reid’s cloture motion will have matured its 30 hours and he will then be allowed to call for an up-or-down vote on moving forward to consider PIPA. If three-fifths of the U.S. Senate agree by voting yes on cloture (ending debate), then the bill can be taken up for consideration and the process where Senators can offer amendments will begin as well as another cloture motion (resulting in another 30 hours of debate). …
However, if 60 Senators do not vote yes on cloture, then Senators Wyden, Moran, Cantwell, and Paul will be allowed to continue to speak in opposition to PIPA forever. That being said, what would likely happen in the aftermath if PIPA fails to gain 60 yes votes is the bill is withdrawn and a compromise is negotiated. If no compromise is possible, then the bill officially dies. It is important to note that three-fifths of the Senate must vote yes to move PIPA forward. For example, if 59 Senators voted yes on cloture and 41 Senators voted present or do not vote at all, it fails to pass. The key factor in cloture is three-fifths of the Senate voting yes on cloture and not how many votes are against PIPA.
Considering that “the stop-SOPA coalition AmericanCensorship” is encouraging constituents to visit their senators’ offices in-person and demand they be part of the 41 PIPA opponent, we can expect there to be more to come from this grassroots effort.
. . . $94 million spent in lobbying in support of PIPA

The important thing to remember is that YOU need to BECOME INVOLVED in your government. If you choose not to, to be complacent or believe “all is well” when it’s not, will have a rude awakening coming.
Government will continue to grow and do more damage: continuing to be out of control and doing what it pleases!
Believe it or not, I heard one Democrat seriously say, “So what? What’s wrong with spending and continuing to raise the debt ceiling? The man really did not see a problem with overspending and continuing to spend money on programs that we can’t afford. Neither did this man see a problem with our credit rating being lowered or the U.S. owing so much money to China and other creditors. It’s unbelievable that politicians, who have responsibility of our money, actually believe this way.
It makes me wonder if they think it’s okay to overspend this same way in their personal lives?
Do they really think that 
continuing to spend more money than they have and then collecting what they need from tax payers is the responsible way to handle “the People’s money”?
Do they really think they can continue to spend this way without there being a “Day of Reckoning”?
Do they even care that our position in the world is at risk or is that the goal?
Do they really think that lowering our credit rating is okay? What would they think if their own employer’s credit rating was lowered because of overspending?
The truth is, your rights and “The American Way of Life” will be changed if they continue to have their way! Your lives and your children’s lives will change as well! Worst of all, America’s future will become very bleak (hopeless, disparaging, and dreary). The “American Spirit” will be gone and no longer exist! No longer will America be a symbol to others of hope and of dreams becoming reality.
This is NOT what I want for America. Is it what you want? If not, then become active and help us protect America or we will lose our Way of Life! We do this by keeping up-to-date with what’s happening in the news. Also, we become informed so we know that what we believe is true and can intelligently discuss topics with others. Perhaps my reports help you fulfill this objective.
When Shepherd Smith interviewed Santorum in Iowa he asked about people who love others of the same sex, he said the following:
“People are allowed to love a lot of different people and have a lot of different relationships, and we honor those relationships, but we don’t treat them as marriage because marriage is unique. It should be treated like any other group or couple of people that have strong relationships. Are they allowed to have rights and able to pass on goods and to be able to pass on housing and other type of rights? Sure, but they can contract for those things; there’s ways to do this. What we are talking about is an institution that’s vital for having children and raising children in the best possible environment.
Children have a right to a mother and a father, to their mother and their father. And when society says that that isn’t important, that that relationship isn’t as important or as significant as any other relationship, then what happens is what’s happened over the past thirty years. Thirty years ago, 71% of the people over the age of 18 in this country were married. Now it’s down to 51%; it’s dropped 5% the last year. As a result of that, society is going to be in a much tougher shape.
Government is going to get bigger and we’re not going to have the freedoms that we have. Family is the foundation of our society and marriage is the glue that holds that family together. That’s not being against anybody, that’s being for something that’s an intrinsic good. “
I must say that I completely agree with Santorum when he said “Children have a right to a mother and a father, to their mother and their father. ” There is a psychological and necessary reason for this, having nothing to do with whether same sex couples can be good parents, because children need role models for how to be a mom and a dad.
Children learn what a woman and a mother is from the mother or step-mother residing in a home environment. The same is true for a father or step-father who is residing in a home environment. Not all mothers and fathers are good examples, that’s for sure, but it is the responsibility of society to help men and women be good parents. Providing an adult classes on parenting can help them be better parents. However, there are no classes that can show children how to be a good wife-mother or a husband-father. This is something they must witness on their own.
Also, children learn how a wife-mother or a husband-father should interact in a family, as well how a man treats his wife and how a wife respects him as head of the household, when it’s in a home environment. Again, this is something that cannot be taught by same sex marriages because it is unique to traditional marriage. Yes, it’s true that all marriages are not the best examples of these parental and relationship roles but a same sex marriage is never going to be capable of teaching these concepts no matter how good of a parent he or she is to the child.
There is a reason why children are born by way of a relationship between men and women. It is a model that is NOT inherent to same sex relationship–it is a substitute that tries to imitate a natural family–and has nothing to do with GOD, Religion, prejudices, or politics…it is what it is!
Trying to change what’s natural will have consequences to society and the mindset of children growing up in a family environment. Do you really think changing political policies and teaching young children in schools that same sex relationships are natural will change society in a positive way? You can try, but what is natural is not something you can change.
We can have relationships that we deem appropriate, even if they do not fit into the present attitudes we have of what’s normal, we can go ahead and make contracts that are legally binding to fit our relationship circumstances, we can teach children what you feel is appropriate and live as you wish, but none of that can change what’s wrong into right or what’s unnatural to be natural.
Why can’t people people accept that they can live their lives as they wish without forcing society to change and accept the unnatural as being natural? Forcing people to accept such a relationship will not help your cause. What it will do is end up causing the opposite to happen.
It is because of your own poor relationships and lack of commitment to being good parenting that has caused the family confusion we have today. Remember this as you raise your own family. Learning to be a better spouse and parent, as well as having more commitment to making relationships work, would be the cure to the problems that plaque families today.
It’s an easy fix problems in society and families if we would help promote programs for families rather than wasting time and energy on legitimizing same sex unions. Again, I emphasize that this is about taking responsibility for your own family THAT YOU CREATED WHEN YOU HAD SEX WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX AND GAVE BIRTH. It has nothing to do with societies opinion, prejudices, religion, or government policies.
Perhaps you will think about this post and renew your commitment to your marriage and parenting roles so children can grow up in a better and healthier family environment.
Did you see this email yet. I received it on December 2nd and just got around to reading it. If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you do now.
This is another evil global plot to take away our guns, but it is very sneaky –That’s the only way they can get away with it.
Globalists just won’t give up on their goal to disarm America. That means there is a reason they want our guns, and that can’t be good.

Robert Meggers/Getty ImagesIsn’t it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years? And, they even uncovered photos, text messages,recorded phone calls, etc.!
Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade. Not only that, they know which wedge! And, each & every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger’s sex rehab stay, his wife’s plans for divorce, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.
Now, Barack Obama has been in office for over two years, yet this very same press:
- Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;
- Or find his Original, un-doctored birth certificate ;
- Or find any of Obama’s high school or college classmates;
- Or find any of Obama’s Girl Friends;
- Or locate any of his college papers or grades;
- Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
- Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980′s;
- Or even find Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis on racism.
They just can’t seem to uncover any of this?
Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth!
Simply amazing, isn’t it?
This email started me thinking about today’s biased media and made me wonder how we can have a fair election with negative forces like this working against us. I came to the conclusion that evil doers will have their way as long as there are those who will play this way.
Well guess what, we don’t have to play their way or accept their rules. If we don’t like their game or their rules, we can take our ball and play with someone else. The question is, “Will we take our ball and go play somewhere else where people will let us play by established rules?” Another question is “Where else can we play or how do we play a different game when politicians hold all the balls and make all the rules?”
The answer is no!! Politicians do NOT hold all of the balls because of the form of government we have in America. We CAN change the rules, we CAN change the players, and we CAN play with only those who will play by the rules.
Fighting with the players will not make the game better or change rules to our favor. It only causes contention, and will get us nowhere. All we can do is WALK AWAY FROM THE GAME.
Our Founding Fathers took their ball and went somewhere else to play because they didn’t like the rules they were forced to accept. They wanted something better and so they brought their ball to America. They set new rules and clearly defined the goals for their new game. Most of the players had the same vision for the outcome of the game and thus, the game was won and today we enjoy the benefits of that win.
Now here we are again, confronted with the same battle the Founding Fathers had in the Old Country. However, unlike them, our vision for America has NOT changed from what was established by our forefathers. The problem is that some Americans have been lured by the prospect of another game.
What will happen to the game? Who will win the present game, and what will be won? Are you willing to take your ball and play with people who respect the established rules and the spirit of the game, or will you be lured into thinking the vision politicians have for America is the game you want to play? It appears that people are starting to make their vision known, and so we need to choose which game we will play.
This election will make it clear whose game we will play. If we don’t want to play the present game then what will we do? There is something called Con Con (the Conference of States) that gives states the right to form a new Constitution and new Government. This is a dangerous concept to enact because it is extremely risky so it should only be used in dire situation.

Dec 16, 2008 – The only thing more outlandish is the fanciful notion that a 2009 constitutional convention (colloquially known as a Con Con) could adopt such …
“First let me say that I hope everyone sees the critical need to head off both Con-Conattempts (the state-by-state Con-Con resolution effort and the COS). …
For now, we must try playing the game with better players who respect the Constitution. That’s why this election is so very important. It is truly going to have winners and losers but the outcome is far more reaching than just winning an election.
This election will be a game changer! If NOT, things will stay the same. What will we do, we who refuse to play the game by the same rules? That’s the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION and this election will make that decision for us, of that I am sure.
