Don’t be fooled. We’ve just been betrayed by Washington.

A deal on the debt ceiling is near and Washington still hasn’t gotten serious about the fundamentals. It hasn’t gotten serious about default. It certainly hasn’t gotten serious about the future. When Harry Reid hails a “bipartisan compromise” you know we’re doomed.

Republicans and Democrats have just negotiated away the future of our children behind closed doors. The big compromise on Capitol Hill features elaborate triggers, tranches, Hornswogglers, Snozzwangers, Super Duper Commissions that will make the Snozzberries taste like Snozeberries, and a whole bunch of other convoluted gibberish that will, no doubt, come with loopholes and create entire new bureaucracies. What it doesn’t do is fix the problem.

The fact is Moody’s has already warned us that no one has put a plan on the table that comes close to solving our long-term problem. Moody’s will downgrade us. This could happen tomorrow, in six months or maybe a year from now, but at some point in the near future it’s
going to happen. And it’s going to hurt. So we must be prepared.

Imagine your credit card’s interest rates constantly rising. Imagine high inflation eating away at your savings accounts, retirement funds and salary — if you’re lucky enough to have one these days. Imagine the interest rate on your mortgage rising and compounding until there was no hope of escaping debt. Imagine that fewer and fewer people are willing to lend you any money as your credit rating takes a dive.

Now imagine we’re talking about 15, 25, 100 trillion dollars and your Medicare, Social Security and Treasury bonds.

AdvertisementThose tanks and missiles Republicans say we need? No more. Those food stamps and green-energy boondoggles Democrats say we can’t live without? Forget it. We won’t be able to afford them. It won’t matter how many prime time speeches the president gives or how dangerous the
world gets. The unsustainable cost of irresponsible governance mean everyone loses.

And by everyone, I mean the whole world.

Remember the saying: as Greece goes so goes the world? The United States economy constitutes around 25 percent of the world’s GDP. What happens to global economy when we default? Everyone will feel it. After all, who’s going to send billions in weapons to Egypt’s military regime to help it quell the “democratic” Arab street when we can’t even pay the janitors at the IRS office space?

So what is the point of all the drama in Washington? As best as I can tell most politicians are scared stiff that they might have to have a substantive debate about the debt ceiling during the election season. Other than that, we’re back where we started.

For one, any promise of future cuts is as about as rock solid as a politician’s word. Experience has taught us every year some “unprecedented” emergency will require us to spend hundreds of
billions, if not trillions, we don’t have to “fix.” Mark my words, the war (I’m sorry … “kinetic military action”) that no one even understands in Libya will expand and then all the promises forgotten.

It’s true that seven or eight months ago Democrats were still saying we needed another stimulus package and calling for new spending. Now, we’re not just talking about whether to cut but about how much to cut. And it’s great news that Washington has made significant progress in moving the Balanced Budget Amendment — the only real and lasting solution to this crisis. Nevertheless, the fact remains that this deal raises the debt limit by about $2.5 trillion dollars without making substantial and immediate cuts.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz, in fact, explained that the first year of spending cut is $7 billion and when you consider that we deficit spend $4 billion a day, the real savings in the first year of this deal covers only two days of spending.

Promises mean nothing in Washington. We need genuine, transformational reform and real spending cuts today, not a strategic Republican victory. The time for political expediency is over.

Isn’t it curious that when Democrats wanted to push through a $1 trillion stimulus plan that enriched every social engineering project in the country they got it done? Isn’t it amazing that Democrats had the willpower to ram through health unpopular Obamacare which changed
our entire health care system without any compromise whatsoever?

Why can’t Republicans find a similar backbone? Why can’t they fight for the people who elected them? Are you telling me they can’t find significant waste and fraud in the Federal government right now?

The answer is simple.

You cannot spend more than you earn. You cannot run up the largest credit card bill in human history. You want more revenue? Stop chasing income earners overseas by threatening them with higher taxes, stop inflating their energy costs and stop punishing them with never-ending regulations. Mr President, put down your socialist mop! Stop with the Cloward and Piven floor wax.

And then balance the budget, cut back the spending and reform entitlements.

Who are the bad guys?

The conservatives see the President and democrats behavior as misguided destructive progressives in name only. Any debt-ceiling-plan, which, if it does not include spending cuts will cause the deficit to explode, interest rates will skyrocket, the cost of commodities and gas will double (inflation) and monitory tax will be demanded by the President and the progressives.

The bottom line is that the President and gang of progressives want to fundamentally change our country to a Marxist tyrannical country by killing the economy, make laws with out any debate and creating a country where we have no representation or hand in our life, liberty, happiness or decision making. They want to tell us what to eat, drink, see, hear, and say. Inflation hurts the pour and personal economical recovery.

Certain freedom fighters whose names you'll want to remember in 2012 elections are being marginalized by progressive media personalities like Don Lemon, and Kathleen Parker. Those being demonized include, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann; Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, head of the Republican Study Committee; Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, among others they are trying to appear evil or threatening in the eyes of others, including Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips and Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler. Grassroots freedom loving American who have organized to save the country from a progressive Marxist take over. Local patriots formed and joined originations like FreedomWorks, Heritage Action, Club for Growth, National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Prosperity, and Tea Party Patriots to work together for our freedom.

Meanwhile, freshman congressmen have been targeted and pressured by "elite progressive press" and "inside the Beltway elite" to vote for Boehner's plan.
While Patriot Sarah Palin's Facebook page, reminded the freshmen class about contested primaries and urged them to "remember us grassroots 'little people' who believed in them, donated to their campaigns, spent hours tirelessly volunteering for them, and trusted them with our votes." Her page concluded with grassroots sentiments "P.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries."

The more we the people find out what Obama and the progressives are up to the more we the voters see how mistaken we were to think Obama had our best interest at hart and used abusive power to push his agenda that was counter our wishes. The progressive say they want a balance budget, but they will not vote for "Cut, Cap and a Balanced budget"

God can not sin

At one time a Godly mans word was his bond. A compliment to God. But today men have no fear to call even God a liar. When a man says there will no charge and then when his work is complete he hands you a bill for what he said would be no charge at the same time he's tells you he's a Christian he is calling God a Liar?


Heaven is My throne and earth is My footstool. Where is the house you will build for Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand has made and all those things exist”, says Yahweh. “But on this one will I look. On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word“.

Isaiah 66:1-2


Even some preachers with straight face and pious demeanour will declare to our face, God is either wrong or deceptive.

The surprising reaction of many who claim to be followers of the God of all truth is to applaude the words of God’s accusers.

But Yahweh says what He means and means what He says and despite the bleatings of some it is not mean of Him to do so.

God’s word is His bond.

Some of the lodgers in God’s house are so ignorant of the covenant promises of the covenant keeping God they don’t recognise the lies of those who call God a liar. They are easy prey for praying predators. When the members of God’s household utter a word of warning they are slandered libelled and called that worse of epithets; “divisive” Well as a watchman from another time said. “Tis better to be divided by truth than united with error” (Martin Luther).

Last Chance for Freedom

A recent Newsmax's Donald Trump presidential pole shows republican progressives leading. 73% of the vote went to Republican progressives. Are we going to vote again for someone who says all the right things, sounds good, but in the long run is just another progressive? No matter weather they are Democrats or Republicans a progressive will lead us in the wrong direction.
Come on, don't be fooled by what they say. Look at the whole package. Find who they really are. Trump has dealings with George Soros. Huckabee likes big government, wants to legalize illegal's and have the government tell what we can feed our kids.

No More Short-Term Budget

Monday, March 14th

“Washington politicians of both parties scrambling to put together two and three week plans to keep funding the government, while not fundamentally changing the behavior that has gotten us into this mess to begin with.”

Our country faces a brutal reality: for far too long, the federal government has been recklessly spending money it does not have. It is the reason we now have a $14 trillion debt that threatens to bankrupt our country and why, each day, our government borrows $4 billion – almost half from foreigners and most of that from China.

Despite the seriousness of this debt crisis, an absurd pattern has clearly developed in Washington. Last year, when they still controlled the House, Senate and White House, the Democrats failed to pass a budget at all. In the first two months of this year, Senate Democrat leaders have spent invaluable time not on tackling the debt but on re-authorizing the F.A.A. and reforming the patent system. Their only attempt at addressing our debt was a plan to cut $4.7 billion in spending, which only equals what our government borrows approximately every 30 hours alone.

Democrats’ unwillingness to engage on this issue is leading us closer to a catastrophic debt spiral that will irreversibly damage our government, our economy and ultimately our country.

The absurdity of what we have witnessed on the Senate floor is only eclipsed by the lack of leadership demonstrated by the White House, and a President who has been absent from this debate and even sent his lead negotiator on a five-day foreign trip.

Its Time

Billions of our tax dollars have gone to foreign countries to stimulate their economies. Even some of the stimulus fund went to bail out Grease after the workers union bosses sent them out in to the streets to protest and kick the can down the road. Certainly the Dems in Washington are pulling the strings to create as many problems on the local level as possible to draw attention away from the mess they are creating. One would only hope that enough people are able to figure out what is going on and that people are being manipulated into believing the governor is against state employees when he is doing the responsible thing that should have been done last year.

Europe union bosses have called out their members to stop the government from being fiscally responsible with their limited recourses. Wisconsin teacher unions do themselves no favor when they copy union bosses in Europe, closeting down classrooms and abandoning children’s needs in protest against the governor following Wisconsin law, tightens the fiscal belt just like tax payers everywhere are having to do.

Union solidarity doesn’t mean making Wisconsin fellow workers lose their jobs and have taxpayers pay for benefits that are not sustainable or affordable at a time when many of these taxpayers with less income are struggle to hold on to their own jobs and homes. Real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice and carry our share of the burden. It does no one any favors to dismiss the sacrifices others have already had to make—in wage cuts, unpaid vacations, and even job losses—to weather our economic storm.

My fellow union member, if we don't wake up and thinking out of the box, we will all be slaves to a tyrannical one world government where leader other than our own that will decide how much we can make, what we can eat, drive, watch, hear, where and when we can go, live, work and die. The proof is out there in their own wards on video in their own wards. Take a moment check it out, its all there just check it out and clime out of the box before they put the lid on. Be as smart as we think you are.

GOD Bless,

Feel like a valedictorian?

I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
I said "May I have large bills, please"

She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.

I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.

He said, 'NO, it's not..' Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used Sears repair since.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.

She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.

I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.'

The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

I live in a semi rural area.

We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office

to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.

The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!

I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.

She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg lettuce.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,

'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'

To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'

He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

Happened in Birmingham , Ala.

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.

I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.

I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.

Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'

She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to 'downsizing,'

our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.'

Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.

Social Security

Why have politicians been saying Social Security is brook when it has collected enough funds to be fully funded it until 2052? In 2016 social security will have a negative cash flow and it will start paying out more than it has coming in. By law all Social Security fund were to remain in a lock box and out of the reach of the bureaucrats in Washington. Congress found a way to circumvent the law and has left I.O.U.s in place of the Social Security funds. The theft took place this way, Congress created bonds and replaced the funds in the lock box with the created bonds and placed the social security funds in the general fund to pay for new programs. They don't want to tell you that they spent the money. Who is going to pay for the bonds? You are!

Governed by Smears and Tyranny

Please note how the Dems and their surrogate (Sheriff, New York Times, media etc.) are using a tragic events combined with hysterical unsound reasoning to impose their agenda instead of helping to begin a healing process for the families and communities touched by any tragedy,

Our Constitution founders were so exceptional during their debate and exchange of ideas. They intended to give us limited government, keep us free from a progressive tyrannical government and give us freedom to exercising our God given to rights, (natures laws) protect us from elite officials who want to limit our free exchange of ideas and for us to have freedom to petition our government.

For now we can celebrate our Republic’s core values and peacefully assemble even thou the progressives have already intruded our constitutional rights and regulated away many of them. It’s inexcusable and incomprehensible that the Dems and the media can spin a single event of an evil man taking lives of peaceful citizens to impose limits on freedom of speech and assemble. 

70% of our citizen under stand that this country is going in the wrong direction. 52% of them are seeing trough the Dems and their surrogates spin. It seem that 30% don't want freedom to choose and want the elite in the government to decide what is good for them. Over 18% are confused by the medias spin or propaganda aimed at influencing the attitude of society toward a progressive socialist position.

President Reagan said, “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” The Dems and their surrogates are frustrated that so many citizens now see the truth and that they (the Progressives) are not able to spin them their way. We are being boom bared by the media with smears and socialist propaganda in order to convince us that our Constitution is old and not good any more and we should give up our rights and freedoms for progressive socialism. Our Progressive leaders in our government are moving to limit more of our freedoms thru regulatory laws.
