Obama's New Math Is Actually Skew Math

When I was in school they taught me to make sure my presentations were concise and factual. I was to utilize infallible statistics to back up conclusions and was not to leave room for conjecture. “Hypothesis” was only appreciated in the science lab. The teachers knew if I tried to “skew” with my point of view. Pretty much, that is what is being taught in schools across the nation today. So why is President Obama’s new math turning into Skew Math? Doesn’t he realize that math is the pure science? It has been dubbed “pure” because it uses no experiments or observations…only reason and logic. Unfortunately, his administration’s presentations are becoming…well…laughable. I know they are receiving guidance from the liberal left, however, his tsars’ attempts to tweak, leave them appearing weak. The President can have Geithner and Company crunch numbers till the cows come home, but they still will not add up. When the head of a household screws-up the family’s finances it can involve losing a home. When the head of a country screws-up the nation’s finances…well…you get my point.

Note: The Constitution has an outlined system of CHECKS AND BALANCES. The President can protest all he wants to…BUT…this so-called “tsar status” is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and the tsars…like it or not…fall under the Executive Branch and are therefore “CHECKABLE”. Just take them to court!

May God bless America…and may America deserve it!

Jerusalem Belongs To The Jews!

Benjamin Netanyahu believes that President Obama cannot fully understand the relevance of Jerusalem to the Jewish people and gave a quote from the Israeli National Anthem which declares that the city is "The hope of two thousand years, the land of Zion". Yet…I am quite sure Barak Hussein Obama can grasp the concept of Mecca…the most holy city in Islam (located in Saudi Arabia). It is the very city that came under Muhammad’s control in 630 and experienced a purging of all non-Muslim religions from its realm. Many Muslims feel that the Jews do not deserve Jerusalem…and that they do. Well, GOD gave it to them and I for one am certainly not going to dispute boundary lines with HIM! If you are a Christian reading this blog let me give you a brief refresher course as to our obligatory protection necessity when it comes to the Jews...and “their” holy city. Romans 11: 16-18 states: (16) If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too. (17) But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, (18) do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. Because of the transgressions of the Jews a door of salvation was opened to the Gentiles (non-Jews) to make them (the Jews) jealous and eventually accept God’s son. We are loved by GOD, but we are waiting with GOD for their “penitent” return. So, don’t get comfy thinking the Jewish people are no longer relevant to our existence or that the land mass GOD gave to them thousands of years ago is somehow “up for grabs”. GOD has a purpose for that real estate and it is not for mere mortals to second guess or sell it out from under HIS "chosen" tenants…the Jews.

Note: If I have to choose sides...I'll pick GOD'S everytime.

May God bless America...and may America deserve it!

Americans Have A Powerful Ally...If We Will Use Him

Being Republicans, Democrats, or Independents should never matter as long as we are first and foremost…Christians. For too long people have been evolving into self absorbed individuals who base their decisions upon their own well being...leading to an unquenchable greed that has rocked literally the entire world. How has that been working for us? Countless times we have looked over our accomplishments while overlooking our shortcomings? If people have no belief in God…then I feel sorry for them because, in times of hardship and trouble, they have no “comforter” or advocate. I once knew a mother with two beautiful children. The father took them to church while she stayed at home. One day her son (5) was given an unfortunate diagnosis and she was told that one of his testicles would have to be removed. I went to the hospital, prior to surgery, to be with her. Of course…I asked her if we could pray together. She said that she could not, but that if I wanted to…it would be okay with her. Well, I prayed…and she listened. I must admit my surprise that a mother would not even pray to God on her own child’s behalf. After surgery, baffled doctors came out of the operating room with smiles, saying that there had been every indication of a serious problem…but the boy was repaired and thus spared (the removal). Oddly enough…she told the doctors that I had said a prayer for her son. A doctor replied, “That must have been some prayer!” Actually, it was “SOME GOD”. People…we’ve got problems in America, but we also have an Ally. Stop feeling “down” and start looking “up”! We need to pray often and fast frequently to overcome this worldwide crisis. Ungodliness is the worst pandemic we will ever face because it doesn’t restrict itself to the body…and it lasts an eternity.

Note: God never puts a lock on his door.

Here Is A Thought For Dairy Farmers!

What does Vermont's maple syrup business have in common with California's dairy operations? A self-inflicted lack of marketing desire. I went to Vermont two years ago all ready to learn about maple syrup down to the very last drop. To my disappointment...after I left the Welcome Center (at the state's border) the best I could come up with was an unimpressive roadside building where I found myself watching a video on a folding chair (I think there were 3 total) and looking forward to leaving. This is a new era and businesses have to be more than the intent of their original purpose. Sell your product, educate your consumers, and create a tourist trap! This is no time to think minimalistically. GOOD LUCK!

Note: If anyone has an idea to help our ailing economy or businesses...then spill it! WE THE PEOPLE are in this together!

May God bless America...and may America deserve it!

Emperor Obama Has No Clothes

Once in a while I will come up with an idea for a blog and the same (or similar) sentiment will be voiced on the news… or the internet… a few days-to-weeks later. This time I ran across a similar type of reasoning…only the U.S. President wasn’t the same one that this Democratic Senator chose to highlight, on the senate floor, back in 2003. It is amazing to see that seizure of “power” does not bring clarity when political agendas (or corruption) are present.

I must first acknowledge the original fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes courtesy of Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen (1837). The premise is that an emperor cared more about his appearance than wisely ruling his realm. Two corrupt individuals promised him the finest clothing in the world, which would be made of a rare cloth, invisible to anyone who was either stupid or not worthy of “his” position. The Emperor and his ministers could not see the cloth either, however, they pretended to…so they would not appear mentally deficient or unworthy. When the “swindlers” returned with the apparel, the ruler paraded through the streets and revealed his new clothes. As the procession continued, the perplexed people “OOHED-and-AAHED” because they too did not want to seem dim-witted. One child called out from the crowd and revealed that the Emperor had “nothing on” and the crowd realized their own error in judgement. The prideful Emperor decided to continue on, even though he realized he was both duped and naked, and the chamberlains continued to carry the robe’s train…which did not exist.

I will have to thank Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) for some of the material in this blog. He was talking about the Iraq war, however, the similarity of the new Administration and majority Congress…to heed sound judgement…seems uncanny. I will number his quotes, for ease of reference, and put my alterations in red. Notice how easily one can substitute the words with economic issues of today. (1) Those who have dared to expose the nakedness of the Administration’s policies in Iraq--economic policies in the U.S.--have been subjected to scorn..have had our patriotism questioned. (2) The right to ask questions, debate, and dissent is under attack. The drums of war are beaten ever louder in an attempt to drown out those who speak of our predicament in stark terms. (2) SAME SCENARIO TODAY (3) Even in the Senate, our history and tradition of being the world’s greatest deliberative body is being snubbed. This huge spending ill has been rushed through this chamber in just one month. (3) SAME SCENARIO TODAY (4) I cannot stand by and continue to watch our grandchildren become increasingly burdened by the billions that fly out of the Treasury for a war--"economic disasters"-- and a policy based largely on propaganda and prevarication. (5) It is dangerous to manipulate the truth. It is dangerous because once having lied, it is difficult to ever be believed again…this Administration must now attempt to sustain a policy predicated on falsehoods. (5) SAME SCENARIO TODAY (6) But the time has come for the sheep-like political correctness which has cowed members of this Senate to come to an end. The Emperor has no clothes. (6) DITTO! It is time for congressional leaders of both major parties to quit sacrificing our freedoms…and those of future generations...because of party ties. I fear the robe’s train is coming and America is holding on to nothing...I know Congress is.

Note: When a Doppler weather station issues a disaster warning...it is heeded. When economic indicators issue disaster warnings...the Obama Administration keeps recalculating. When do we take cover?

Note: Have you ever wondered if the Obama Administration is selling us out?

May God bless America...and may America deserve it!

OBAMA AND THE MIRANDA WARNING

OBAMA AND THE MIRANDA WARNING…Sounds like a bedtime story doesn’t it? Well, far from it. It is more like a NIGHTMARE! Apparently, according to U.S. Lawmakers, the Obama Administration has ordered the FBI to read “detainees” their rights. A senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has made accusations that they are “quietly” ordering the FBI to “Mirandize” terrorist suspects at detention facilities in Afghanistan. Excuse me? Now, let’s put it into perspective. We are just coming off the 65th Anniversary celebration of D-Day. Let me recycle a few of President Obama’s words. President Obama: ...The sheer improbability of this victory is part of what makes D-Day so memorable. It also arises from the clarity of purpose with which this war was waged. No one had any misconceptions of the intent of the enemy at Normandy or in any combat situation. No one cared about Miranda Rights when…as President Obama stated…an unimaginable hell rained down on the men inside (ships at Omaha). So why is Mr. Obama trying to befuddle those in the field (CIA, FBI, soldiers, etc.) by creating chaos according to Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan? Every war…and we are at war…has to have “the clarity of purpose” you addressed so eloquently, President Obama. You are becoming an embarrassment, Mr. President, because you can eloquently deliver a speech, but fumble with its meaning in any historical context beyond the one “at hand”. Lyndon Johnson said that there are moments when "...history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom." There were no Miranda Rights for the minutemen who gathered at Lexington. There were no Miranda Rights for the D-Day soldiers, sailors, and paratroopers. There should be no Miranda Rights for anyone who threatens the security of our nation…or any nation…when placed in the throes of war!

Note: Every soldier should enter into combat confident that his leaders are on his side.

Part II Of Letterman's Apology...Ahem...To The Palins

It was an interesting apology, Mr. Letterman. How did you sleep last night? I'm sure it was a little tougher for Sarah Palin's teenage daughter...the one we now realize was the "real" target for your joke. Great job! Now, you have made two Palin daughters cry. Even if a teenager gets pregnant...and is now 18...it should not make her "fair game" and give anyone (especially a grown man who just happens to be a talk show host for CBS) the right to declare "open season" on her emotions. Have you heard of postpartum depression? You don't have the right to deny her a fresh start with her child...no one does. She made a mistake in judgement just like millions of teenagers in America...and you. Certainly, she doesn't need an extended reputation that links her to being the brunt of comedians' jokes because they lack the wit to come up with humorous material. ASIDE: Even if you had a writer you made the call to use it. When you are ready to truly apologize then I have a website for you to peruse below. Sometimes people choose to stand their ground and discover too late that it is shakey.

LISAB wrote: I regret my comments were offensive to you. Is that an apology? No! If you screw up, say, "I screwed up." Explain that there was no malicious intent -- and mean it! Everyone screws up; no one is expected to be perfect. http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-236825.html

Note: Not one person would want to be defined by the dumbest decision they ever made in their life, but rather by the potential they possess to make hundreds of wise ones.

Reiteration: Sometimes people choose to stand their ground and discover too late that it is shakey.

David Letterman's Immaturity Has Him 'Groping' Governor Palin's 14-Year-Old For Humor

David Letterman’s lack of maturity has him “groping” Governor Palin's 14-year-old for humor. I guess the old saying “PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE” is appropriate when it comes to David Letterman’s (CBS) crude…and misguided...humor attempt, at Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter’s expense. Imagine being 14-years-old and having a sleazy old talk-show host making a totally inappropriate comment about you getting “knocked up” by a Yankees’ third baseman…Alex Rodriguez. ASIDE: I’M SURE RODRIGUEZ WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE PUMMELED HIM...RIGHT AFTER HER DAD. Has Letterman become so “sexually perverted” that he finds it humorous an underaged girl would be sexually abused? This comment came on the heels of his referring to her mother as “…having the style of a slutty flight attendant”. Now, there is a sexist remark! Apparently, the Palins were attending a Yankees game, during their stay in New York, where the Alaskan governor was being honored by a special needs group. At least Letterman showed enough control to back off of any remarks about her youngest child. Todd Palin (father) told FOXNews.com: "Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it, and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too." Now, I don’t care which child, he chose to single out…he was out of control and should issue an apology…which would involve him putting on his BIG BOY PANTS…and being a man. He should probably make a few visits to a therapist while he is at it.

Note: Children can be sacrificed in many ways...none of them are good.

WE THE PEOPLE VS PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIS ADMINISTRATION, AND CONGRESS

I am curious…if indeed the Obama regime, with the help of our congressional leaders, is violating the Constitution of the United States then can we not take them to court in a case labeled something like WE THE PEOPLE VS PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIS ADMINISTRATION, AND CONGRESS? Perhaps it should be three (or more) separate court cases…but you get my drift. I know millions of Americans would love to donate to the cause by paying for lawyer and court fees. Does anyone know a good Constitutional law attorney? Perhaps we’ll need an entire firm. Obama and his cronies are running out of control and Americans are running out of patience...and time. We need to do something quick before they shred the Constitution and our military starts “goose stepping” 'round the White House.

Note: The Constitution is only as steadfast as the people it protects.

House Republicans Offer Plan To "Stop Rewarding Failure"...With Taxpayer Money

The winds of change are blowing...from the Republicans! Republicans in the House are busy putting the finishing touches on a plan to “stop rewarding failure” and make sure taxpayers are never again asked to pay for missteps (blunders) on Wall Street. The GOP members of the House Financial Services Committee aim to have their version…which I am quite sure will vary greatly from the one the Democrats are writing…by Tuesday. It is a much needed proposal to revamp the financial regulatory system and would, in essence, rightfully guide failing companies toward bankruptcy, bypassing the ever popular bailout strategy. Additionally, it would take away the oversight authority of the Federal Reserve with regard to the financial industry. It opposes the creation of a systemic risk regulator and government resolution authority…lauded by the Obama Administration. Geithner's layout of the ‘Resolution Authority’ wants to give the President power to dismantle, reorganize, or jostle failing companies and at the same time…and this is the scary part…it would shift some of the authority held by the judiciary to the executive branch supposedly to expedite bankruptcy proceedings. Now, I have a problem with anyone trying to mess with the “Checks and Balance System” and so should every American no matter what your political affiliation. The House Republican blueprint calls for Federal Reserve audits, via the Government Accountability Office, and the transfer of many of its consumer protection and oversight powers to separate agencies. I especially like the audit part because no office or agency handling money should be exempt from accountability. Lastly, it would mandate that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae become private institutions. Let's hope Congress finds their spine and works together on this one in a bipartisan manner. Currently, they are forging the shackles which are enslaving even their own children...due to pettiness and pride.

Note: Pettiness and pride can forge the shackles which enslave even our own children.

My Fellow Americans...Stop Looking For Leaders And Become One!

As President Obama skillfully leads us down the road to socialism (he has studied Constitutional law)...or fascism...WE THE PEOPLE sit on the sidelines watching and woefully waiting for our "individual" lot in life to be somehow altered...for the better...so that we can jump start our apathetic activity. People...the jump-start is a "negative charge" and not a "positive" one this time! Just like a negative charge has a lower electric potential we are seeing a lowering of our potential "monetarily and politically"!

BUT WHAT CAN WE DO?
(1)Write your congressional representatives (and the White House)... they work for us!
(2)Start talking about it with your neighbors.
(3)Write your newspapers and television stations (local and national) and ask for support...this is better received with a petition of at least 1000 signatures, however, do not discount a "well written" letter from an individual!
(4)Take some of your hard earned cash...you could even pool your money...and pay for advertisement space in the newspaper or on television.
(5) REMEMBER...YOU JUST HAVE TO BE VOCAL AND VISUAL TO BE VEXING...NOT VIOLENT!
(6) Read Herman Cain's website information: http://www.hermancain.com/default.asp
(7) Stop looking for leaders and become one!

How to contact your congressional leaders (House and Senate):

IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE SEND THEM TO MY COMMENTS SECTION...WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!

Just because Obama is not ranting like a lunatic and our army is not goose-stepping across the parade field doesn't mean we are not in a world of hurt. So many of us are still stinging from the Bush Administration "irritation" and we are failing to open our eyes to a worse fate before us. If you are one who is still "hiding behind a Bush" then you are going to have to look at America's situation from the eyes of the International community. China has invested heavily in the United States' debt. Now, you do realize that if you are "indebted" to anyone...or any nation...you are basically going to have to answer to them...or be influenced by them...in some capacity, right? We cannot let America turn from being an International "SUPER POWER" to being an International "SUPERMARKET"! Basically, we are selling off pieces of our assets (and lives) to investors! During Timothy Geithner's recent visit to China he visited and addressed a University. “Chinese assets are very safe,” Geithner said after his speech at Peking University (where he studied Chinese in the 1980s). The "student audience" laughed!

Michelle Malkin (June 1, 2009): His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience, reflecting scepticism in China about the wisdom of a developing country accumulating a vast stockpile of foreign reserves instead of spending the money to raise living standards at home.

Russian Stanislav Mishin: It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

FOXNEWS (May 20,2009) WASHINGTON -- Republicans on Wednesday abandoned an effort to label their opponents the "Democrat Socialist Party," ending a fight within the GOP ranks that reflected the divide between those who want a more centrist message and those seeking a more aggressive, conservative voice. Supporters of the resolution asking the Democratic Party to change its name instead agreed to accept language urging Democrats to "stop pushing our country towards socialism and government control."

Isn't it like trying to differentiate between Soft Porn and Hard Porn? The "Soft" isn't showing everything and the "Hard" is...either way...the American people are screwed!

Note: Stop looking for leaders and become one!

May God bless America...and may America deserve it!
