Wake Up, and See the Light

God Blesses America

This election cycle has awakened us to the prospect of losing America. We are just a few weeks away from the possibility of changing and transforming the USA (United States of America) into the USSA (United Socialist States of America).

What I sense from listening and watching the pundits and the people around the country is that we are a divided nation, much like we were in 1860’s.  Back then though, God blessed us with a leader who understood the meaning of the Constitution, and Liberty for All. He stood firm to keep the States united in spite of popular opinion in one part of the country. He understood that all men must be free, not just the privileged. He fixed the hard problem of freeing slaves; a problem the Founders kept in order to create the greater good, i.e. the United States.

Today, we face a leader who doesn’t believe that all Men are created equal, “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”  (The Declaration of Independence.) President Obama believes rights to be a notion and not an unalienable right from God.

Obama adds one more right into this mix, i.e. the right to an equal outcome.

There are absolutely no references of any kind within the Declaration of Independence that point at “equal outcomes” Those words come instead from the manifesto of Karl Marx. Equal outcomes are at the expense of unequal rights, and that puts equal outcomes in direct contradiction to the Declaration of Independence, because God gave us unalienable rights to Liberty and to Pursue Happiness. Of course if you are a Godless person, this is hard to accept.

I believe God is awakening America to the scourge of Progressivism, but we have a long way to go to hear Him. In the meantime we must pray the entire country sees the light soon.

Are “We the People” Going to Stand for That?

Posted on 16/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

According to my dictionary the word slavery defines a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. When America rebelled against England  in 1776, slavery was legal. Landowners owned slaves. The founders struggled with the concept of keeping slaves while they defined the concept of “all men are created equal.”  Thomas Jefferson originally had words which included slaves in the Declaration of Independence. The southern colonies would not join the union if the declaration included slaves as equals. A long debate ensued and ultimately, the fathers concluded that a strong union of the thirteen colonies was most essential.  Jefferson wrote the last version of the Declaration of Independence as it stands today. The founders were the first to kick the  problem(slavery) down the road; thus setting a precedent for current congressional leaders to do the same with issues like Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.

One hundred years later, Abraham Lincoln, founder of the Republican party, finally decided to end the can kicking and abolished slavery. The cost he incurred was huge both in dollars, and in human lives. He believed as did Jefferson (who was reportedly the founder of the Democrat party) that the slaves  must be included in the “all men are created equal,” phrase of the Declaration. Lincoln took a hard stand and signed the Emancipation Proclamation, ending slavery in the USA. He chose to do the right thing and not to kick the can down the road.

I suggest that everyone review the Declaration of Independence. I did, and I if I didn’t know it was the Declaration, I would swear the writer described the same issues we face in our country today. The Declaration is a call to arms and gives the rationale for doing so. Today, citizens of the USA are  divided.  Half are on the side of the government (monarchy) while the other believes in the right to govern themselves. In 1774-76 the colonists made ready for armed revolution to take their country from the King of England. Today, we see a Tea Party who believes as the colonists, i.e. we have the right and moral obligation to govern ourselves. Instead of an armed revolution Tea Party people like myself believe in peaceful use of the existing process to win back the country.

Since Lincoln’s time, our leaders in Washington have invented new philosophies for governing. Some say, that it is the role of Government to take care of the people under the “Welfare” clause of the Constitution. There is a Jefferson quote carved in stone at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington that contradicts the philosophy that we are stupid, and need to be cared for;

“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

Thomas Jefferson believed in man’s ability to think and care for himself. We do not  need another man to  Lord over us.

Thomas Jefferson foresaw that  if left unchecked, the government would rebel against the will of the people and revert to tyranny. He truly believed as did his compatriots, that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . . .”

Obama’s speech this week to the GWU students clearly signaled his intention to stifle any effort by the people to take back their government and reverse exorbitant and  costly social programs.

Are We the People going to stand for that, or  will we allow him to lead us down the road to big government dependency and ultimately become tax-slaves to feed the monster?

Shovel Ready Hypocrisy

Posted on 10/03/2011 by Grumpa Joe
U.S. Declaration of Independence ratified by t...

Today, I learned of another shovel ready project aimed at putting people back to work. The problem is the people who are getting the jobs all live in middle eastern countries. What are the projects? Follow this link to watch the short video explaining the program.  Our State Department is spending borrowed money to rebuild mosques, and to provide them with interent service

I understand the point, Obama truly believes that by helping rebuild thousand-year old mosques that the Muslim nations will love us. If they are truly a religion of love as they claim Obama is right. They are conflicted, however, with the belief they must convert the world to Isalm. Love conflicts with “Slay the Infidel,” but they don’t see that.

POTUS believes the muslims will put up a plaque in each mosque that reads:

“Thank You People of America For Sending us Your Love, Hope and Change.”

Grumpa Joe believes the plaque will read the following:

“Death to the Oil Sucking Infidels of America.”

Is it just me, or is there a conflict here?  Our government is working overtime to remove God from every aspect of our country. Simultaneously, the same government is sending 750 million borrowed dollars to help muslims continue to practice their belief in God. If ever there was an easy to understand example of hypocrisy this one takes the prize.

POTUS tells his Attorney General to ignore enforcement of the law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman, cities are taxing Church parking lot usage, he declares we are not a Christian nation when clearly the Founders based the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights on the premise that the rights of man defined within them are endowed by their Creator.

Write, call , or e-mail your Senator and Congressman and demand that the law allowing money to rebuild mosques be repealed or defunded immediately, and  tell them to pass a law stating that church and state are not separated and they never were.

Let the Defunding Process Begin

Posted on 04/03/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Why do we pass laws to keep us from feeding bears, but pass laws to make humans dependent on Uncle for subsistence? Progressives have a vision of a perfect world. One in which nature is preserved as is, and humankind is controlled for his own good.

When will we learn that the handout method only makes us more dependent? When will we wake up and realize that we are only a few moments away from losing the Liberty and Freedom that our Founders bestowed upon us. They were wise men, much wiser than those men of today who believe that men do not have unalienable Rights of Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness endowed by our Creator. Instead, the Progressives of today  believe that all men must share equally, and be cared for by they who are better than the the rest of us.

Like the bear, the Progressives know that if they eliminate a thriving economy, the rest of us will become hopelessly dependent on Uncle. Wrong, I’m here to tell you that those of us who know Liberty, and self-sufficiency will rise up and exercise our rights to defend ourselves from tyranny. It is for this reason that the Progressives must indoctrinate us to believe the Constitution is a tired old set of ideas that don’t work anymore. Well, I am also here to tell you that those tired old ideas have worked successfully for over two hundred years, while the Progressive ideas of socialism have failed on numerous occasions at the expense of millions of martyrs who stood in the way of their cause.

I have to give this new breed of socialist credit. They have invented many new strategies to overtake our country. Many of them have been successful, like the Cloward-Piven strategy, or the Alinsky Rules for Radicals which spawned ACORN. They have been relentless in their pursuit to overtake us and to turn us into their slaves. It is not too late to bring them down.

We must retake control and support every effort to undo the damage done by the current administration. Number one is to fire the current President. As we work on electing a new President we must begin tearing down every law that has ever been passed by Progressives. Start with Obamacare, continue to TARP,  the Community Reinvestment Act. All funding to any subversive organization like ACORN, SEIU, Planned Parenthood must be defunded; not supported as though they are the salvation of mankind. They are not. Each of them has been invented to bring down America.

We must secure our borders. Stop the flow of illegals coming in. All it will take is an effort to enforce current laws. We must stop the President from instructing the Attorney General to ignore the enforcement of laws that he believes are not in his favor. As I have repeatedly stated in my blog pieces, “we are a nation of laws, except those that don’t benefit a political agenda.”

Let the process begin. Get involved. Write to your Representatives. Let him know how you feel. Tell him how to vote on issues. Insist he stop the spending, and begin the defunding of damaging laws. Our voice must be heard.
