I 'post' corrected.

In an earlier post I claimed that we should not support the 'take over' of our ports by the UAE... I now have had more time to research this issue and I feel I 'jumped the gun'.

Having the UAE manage ports in this country is NOT going to affect security. I have spoken to several individiuals, and have listened to many comments on talk radio, and have read way more than I care to talk about on the 'net...

What does it boil down to?

Security is not compromised. This is all a big play by the long shoreman's union because the UAE is typically anti-union. Nothing else.

This needs to go away... there are more important things in this country to worry about than the long shoreman's union and their desire to remain in power. This is a silly distraction. The reason the President was not consulted or made aware of this transaction is because it is a NON EVENT.

Let it go...

Finally, Americans are getting it!

Saint Index, National Survey, Quantifies Hostility towards Supreme Court's Kelo Ruling: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

80% of Americans now believe that the Kelo decision was wrong, with 68% strongly disagree.

What took so long? Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, unless it's the happiness of the government raising more money in taxes...

A Soap Box Subject

WHY WAIT UNTIL 2008? THERE IS AN ELECTION IN 2006. I HEREWITH FIRMLY STATE THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER ISSUES, IF HE DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATION. THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE STANDING FOR ELECTION IN 2006.

LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE WITH ME ON THIS BY FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

2008 Election Issue!!

GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.

SOCIAL SECURITY:

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it. You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society.They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan. In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan. For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

• When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
• Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments...

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their lives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.


Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives. Their cost for this excellent plan is ... Hang on Here...

$0.00. NADA....ZILCH...

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement. Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to:

Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us then sit back.....

and see how fast they would fix it.

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.

How many people CAN you send this to?

The ACLU (et. al.) has done a disservice to our children

I have been thinking quite a bit about our school system in this country since reading "The War on Christmas" by John Gibson. There are several groups which are led by the ACLU that continue to attack Religion in all facets of the public square. The only reason I can come up with is so they can push their own religion -- Secular Humanism. They use the Establishment Clause as their fence post (which, BTW, was put in the constitution to keep government out of religion, not religion out of Government.)

First, doesn't it seem like a contradiction that they use this clause to push one religion while squashing another?

Next, I started thinking about our public schools. Our school administrators have become so frightened of lawsuits that if someone mentions their unhappiness and/or questions them where there may even be a twinge of a lawsuit they immediately back down. What does this do to our education in this country? It forces mediocrity. Hang on... This is a wild ride...

Here we go. Because our school administrative staff and teachers most be so attuned to not offending anyone they now spend most of their time looking for lessons that are so washed down that they fail to take a stand on anything. When you fail to stand up for a certain set of values, or for known historical events (right or wrong) because you might offend someone what happens?

You end up with a watered down version of the truth. Did the white man hunt and kill Indians (sorry, Native Americans) in the 18th / 19th Century? Did the white man promote slavery? Was this country founded on Christian Values? Was the school system created to promote educated Christians? Are we a democracy or a Republic? Was this country built on the blood, sweat, and painful backs of many others who have come before us? Did we not stand up to tyranny from Great Britain to gain our freedom from an autocratic system of government? Did the Crusades occur to stomp out Islam? Did the Czar's abuse their people? Is communism just another form of a socialist dictatorship? Is Saudi Arabia a Dictatorship?

Was all this pleasant? No. Did people Die? Yes. Did people get abused? Yes. Is it part of our historical culture? Yes. Should we teach these things? Yes. Should we worry about offending one person so much so that these historical realities are sliced, diced, minced, and watered down to the point of absurdity?

NO!

We have abandoned our historical (albeit short) context in favor of not offending anyone who becomes part of this great melting pot we call the United States. The United States of America was founded by Christians seeking freedom from the Church of England. This is our heritage. We have fought for the rights of our own people and for the rights of others. This is our heritage. We have made some mistakes and we have fixed them over and over again. This is our heritage. We must not bow to those who would push our heritage out the window based on their own desires. This includes those who would push out Christianity, or change our traditional views on marriage, or make the dislike of a particular lifestyle a "Hate Crime". One of the greatest gifts we have in this country is the right to disagree. It's okay. It's also part of our Heritage.

Let me leave you with a great statement by our first President and the man responsible for our freedom...

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world with God and the Bible" -- George Washington.

Tell me now that Christianity is not part of our heritage.
