Students celebrate Obama’s reelection shouting Karl Marx and Obamaphone outside the White House

Although I suspect they are drunk, stoned and acting like kids, I do hope I’m not paying for their college loans.

Congratulations Democrats, you won, now you own it

There are a number of versions of this floating around e-mail and the internet blogs, some add the name of the state, or the United States at the end.  This one added a reference to GW Bush at the end.

Election thoughts for Christians who read this blog

The election is history, and who knows if we’ll be around for the 2016 edition. The whole process begins at the grass roots level, or used to, and to even influence the county committees is virtually impossible, or so I’m told by people who’ve tried to make a difference about who gets on the ballot. Even so, at the national level, it’s now all about technology and who has the right smart phone apps, the databases of who lives where and of course, the PAC money for internet ads. Here in Ohio where we get nothing but political ads for 6 months, it’s hard to believe that millions fewer voted this week than in 2008. Most of the loss in people believing voting mattered was Obama voters, but he won anyway because of the 18-29 year olds and the Hispanics.

But the big loss is the American people. If I vote in 2016, will there be anything or anyone I recognize? Will California belong to Mexico as LaRaza believes the whole southwest should? Will Louisiana secede? Will 75% of the people be dependent on government instead of 50%? Will we be like the Roman masses in pre-Christian days of Europe satisfied with games and goodies just as long as it is fun and someone else pays? Who knows, but the Democrats have been taken over by the ugliest big government philosophy--whether you think that’s socialism or progressivism or crony capitalism, it makes no difference. The Republican party as it exists now will probably expire in a gasping death, the party of Lincoln who desperately wanted to keep the country together, now seems to be factions of RINOs, Libertarians, Christians and patriot groups who barely speak to each other because the other isn‘t pure enough.

People who read my blog and Facebook entries seem evenly divided between believing I’m a modern day prophet calling people to wake up and see the evil of abortion and statism, and those who think I am evil and don’t represent anything they recognize as Christian or prophetic.

I choose to think that if you had lived in the 1850s you would have been helping with the underground railroad even if you had to be silent with your neighbors or at the market as you assisted fleeing slaves get to Canada. Even if you couldn’t look at a black woman in rags and see yourself, I hope you would have seen her humanity. I like to think you might have marched with the suffragettes, or tried to close down the saloons that were causing workmen to drink their pay and their children to starve. I choose to think that if you had lived in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, you would have told your children that they shouldn’t hate their Jewish classmates as told in school, or that you would have given money to help those whose businesses had been destroyed by the state, even as you grieved for sons and brothers lost in the battle for the Fatherland. I will continue to believe that if you had overheard plans to bomb a black church in Mississippi, you would have found a way to warn people, even if the sheriff was your friend and would not stop it.

Every generation faces social problems that can only be addressed by the clear word of the Lord. I have chosen abortion and those who support it, fund it, ignore it, and who try to silence me as the one I tackle. The pebble thrown in the pond has huge rings, and there is an all encompassing view of life and creation that over arches my views that goes far beyond the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. I know my views are not popular or even common among most Christians today, and that some are extreme, like believing a child conceived in incest or rape still is a citizen and a child of God. But I am not going to be quiet. While I still have first amendment rights as an American citizen, I will speak out. I have God’s written and living word on which to stand. And You?

Liberals push Agenda 21—and they are pushing to get rid of people like me

The transformation of America

Race baiting Democrats

Last week the leftwing media was writing about the homophobic, racist, sexist Americans--even Clinton called the military that--because the polls showed 49 to 49 for the candidates. This week, not a peep about how awful Americans are. The fact that minorities voted overwhelmingly for Obama doesn't make THEM race based voters. But 10 million Americans who voted for Obama in 2008 didn't vote for him in 2012. They didn't vote for Romney either, I guess they stayed home, but did they lose faith in Obama's race or his policies?

Americans, especially minorities and the 18-29 white voters,  showed in this election that they want European style socialism, where no one can work if not a member of the union, and the takers outnumber the workers.  Good luck sustaining that model.

Women want to depend on Uncle Sam--relationships are too hard

“Single women, who went 67 percent to Obama this week, have been sold a bill of goods by the Left since the 90s. Women have been told that empowerment comes from sex, and that we have a “right” to things like birth control. Television models the Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle of shoes and parties and sex without consequence. Meanwhile, America wonders why women walking around with iPhones and Kate Spade bags at Ivy League colleges are demanding that we pay for birth control they could acquire at WalMart for $4 a month.”

Do numbers matter?

In the 16th through the 19th centuries Arab Muslims captured and sold black Africans to European slavers who then shipped them to the “new world” for resale in the various colonies of Spain, Portugal, France and England.

"By the end of the seventeenth century, slavery and the products of slave labor comprised the single largest economic enterprise on earth. Over the course of more than two hundred years, European carriers -- British, Spanish, French, and Portuguese -- had shipped more than 2 million Africans across the Atlantic in chains. But that was just the beginning. Spurred by an explod­ing European demand for sugar, traffic in slaves surged, and in the eighteenth century alone more than 6 million Africans were taken from their homeland to plantations in Brazil, the Caribbean, and, to a much smaller extent, British North America. ...

Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, estimates 54,559,615 abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1973, and about 40% of those are black. Life Site News

Abortion is legal and approved by the state and federal governments of the United States, and has been a plank in the Democrat party political platform for decades.  Legal abortion  has killed more blacks than four centuries of the Atlantic slave trade.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, whose organization invested $15 million in the election, was overjoyed by the results of Tuesday’s election of a pro-abortion president, as was NARAL President Nancy Keenan.

The level playing field

Early in the morning (dawn usually) I'm on the road to a coffee shop within a mile or two of my home. This morning at the first stop light I was noticing all the service people out there long before me, delivering, stocking, cleaning, preparing, etc. and wondering about those households sleeping in receiving about $60,000 in government benefits who are NOT working. How many of these people taking care of our basic needs for food, goods and services will ever make $60,000, and why do Democrats say it's never enough? Tell me again, Mr. President, about that playing field you want to level.

                         

It fits, but just barely

Our son has bought a restored 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible.  He brought it by today to show me. What a boat!  You forget what a door slam in a 40 year old car sounds like. He says he has 2” clearance in his garage to close the door. He will keep his other 2 cars; one he drives to work, and the other, a BMW, is driven only occasionally.  The new one gets 8 miles/gallon and he’s already run out of gas once because he misjudged how far he could go on $10.

How to be a guest at any blog—but especially mine. Thursday Thirteen November 8

                    

1.  Don’t attack your host. Think of your visit as standing in the hall or on the porch and you’re passing out political literature you want her to read.  Do you start out by accusing the owner of hatred and vitriol because she disagrees with you? 

2.  If you disagree with an idea or a citation, please supply the information.  I’m smart and I cite my sources of those writers who are smarter, but I’m not a mind reader about what you call “hate.’

3.  If you’ve got more than a paragraph, please start your own blog.  It’s not difficult and many sites are free. Or hit publish and make a second comment.  Looks better on my site meter.

4.  You can skip the name calling--homophobic, racist, sexist, etc.  That dog won’t hunt here.  Plus your mother taught you better.

5.  Please pay attention to quote marks and citations.  I’ve been attacked as homophobic for quoting gay bloggers and journalists! 

6.  Just because your president is black, doesn’t mean his policies are good for black people, minorities, churches, or the economy. If what he touches becomes untouchable for bloggers because of his race, how will you ever know what he’s doing?  The media won’t tell you.

7.  If you don’t like the cartoons or graphics, you should see the ones I’ve rejected as disrespectful or nasty.

8.  I’ve been blogging for nine years.  And you?

9.  I’m a one issue (pro-life) voter, writer, woman.  Start to finish, Genesis to Revelation, womb to tomb.  Yes, I think rape is awful, but it’s not worse than murdering the innocent child that results from the violent act. Incest is icky, but in my genealogy I’m my own 6th cousin, so who do you want to eliminate?

10. I’m an evangelical Christian (Lutheran) who loves many of the documents of the Reformation and the early church before it split up. I perfectly understand your main line Christian views because I was one (UCC, Church of the Brethren), and I know the cafeteria Catholic outlook well from all my Catholic friends who use contraception.  How well do you know the documents of evangelicalism?

11.  Not only do I blog, but I’m on Facebook, and several e-mail discussion groups. I’m also a published author.  And what have you researched and published?  You can cite it here and get some free publicity. I’ll not call you names.

12. How recently did you read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence or the Northwest Ordinance? I do it about once a year, but I’m also old enough to know the Democrats invented Jim Crow and LBJ fought civil rights all the way until he figured out he could capture the loyalty of blacks for 200 years if he switched sides.

13. FDR locked up about a million Americans, German, Italian and Japanese, in 1942.  I guess he thought they were disloyal or dangerous.  And you?  Do you read much about the heroes of American history? Write a blog—I’ll come and visit and not call you names.

No Good Sam law for architects in New York

200 responses were received from architects willing to survey affected neighborhoods damaged by the super storm Sandy. “Their job would be to help the city evaluate uninhabited buildings, a kind of architectural triage: green stickers are placed on buildings that can be inhabited immediately, yellow on buildings that can be inhabited after remediation, and red on buildings that cannot be made safe.” Lance Jay Brown, a professor of architecture at the City University of New York (CUNY) refers to it as “second-responder work.”

But. . . there is no good sam law in New York for architects.

“According to Brown and others, architects are prevented from performing damage assessment—as volunteers—by the absence of a law to protect them from future liability. About half the states have “good Samaritan” laws that cover architects, allowing them to do volunteer work in emergencies without fear of lawsuits. But New York is without such protection. “Legislation exists, but it just hasn’t been passed,” says Brown, who has been involved in the fight for a “good sam” law since 2004, as has the state AIA office in Albany. “We lobby for it constantly, but lawyers lobby against it,” Azaroff explains, adding, “As a Brooklyn architect, I should be able to walk across the street and help a neighbor. This is something that would promote a better society.”

Start talking.

The legacy?

"Barack Obama wasted no time getting busy destroying American sovereignty after defeating Mitt Romney Tuesday night and winning a 2nd term. Mere hours after the deciding votes were cast, the administration got to work supporting the U.N. and their effort to install a global gun restriction treaty." Glenn Beck

Obama was very cagey about announcing his agenda for the next 4 years. The first move doesn't make me feel good about his intentions. Those of you hoping he'd go "moderate" in order to create a "legacy" don't seem to understand this man. He's a statist and globalist.

Should Democrats set the Republican agenda

Juan Williams (Fox News) wants Republicans to reach out to single women and blacks. With what? Democrats give them free contraception and bill boards advertising abortions. What else would appeal? They don't care much about jobs, as they demonstrated Tuesday.

People of little or no faith more likely to vote for Obama

Religious/faith people voted for Romney if they were white evangelicals, but not enough voted, period. It's one of the flaws of being a conservative. Let someone else do it. Or, God will take care of it. Black Christians overwhelmingly voted for Obama, even with all his failures and inattention to them these last 4 years.  (Unemployment in October was 14.3% for blacks.)  "Other" and "unaffiliated" voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

And now the finger waggers are saying the Republicans (remember the ones who didn't boo God?) are too religious. I'd say the weren't religious enough if they didn't vote their values. Cafeteria Catholics went for Obama.

Pew Forum on Religion

How are they getting around Obamacare?

“Americans are already finding ways around Obamacare. The M.D. VIP program offers individuals unfettered access to a network of doctors with limited numbers of patients for around $1500/year. That is certainly less than the cost of Obamacare. I believe we will see a bifurcated healthcare system that still offers choice, because the best doctors prefer to work in programs like M.D. VIP. And the states that refuse to implement the Obamacare Medicaid provisions will be where the businesses go. The intransigent states like California, Illinois, and New York will continue to bleed companies and middle-class voters, leaving only the very rich and people who are addicted to entitlements. Ultimately, the law will be chipped away or ignored because it is poorly written.”  Mark Macina

Oh, and good luck finding a doctor if you’re about to sign up for Medicare.  Doctors are choosing to retire rather than get stuck with the abominable electronic record system required especially if they have small offices. This was just a boon to IT lobbyists, since no one can even guess if it will improve care, and it certainly won’t lower costs.  Others just won’t take Medicare—payment reimbursement is too low.

Note to trolls:  please pay attention to quotation marks. That means it is someone else’s work.

Tell me again about the Nobel Peace Prize

“Obama has tripled the presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, escalated the nightmare of drone bombings in Pakistan, and started a war with Libya that his administration claimed even Congress had no power to stop. Despite his occasional lip service to free markets, peace, and the rule of law, Obama has pushed for the radical expansion of state power in virtually every area he could. “ Anthony Gregory

And he’s running a pipeline of weapons from Libya to Syria.  Some peace prize he is.  I wonder if they’ll ever do that again—award a prize on the basis of nothing.  Zip. Nada. Zilch.

            

Tips for Republicans from liberals

Juan Williams (Fox News) wants Republicans to reach out to single women and blacks. With what? Democrats give them free contraception and bill boards advertising abortions. What else would appeal? They don't care much about jobs, as they demonstrated Tuesday.

Is there a single give-away or law remake that Republicans could do that Obama wouldn’t up the ante the next day?

If Republicans (registered) had shown up to vote, they could have beaten Obama.  There are more people who won’t vote for a Mormon than who won’t vote for a black.  If the dead Democrats stayed home, that might have helped too. 

Obama needs more photo ops with Sandy victims—it will warm their hearts
