I don't think that the words politically correct and Herman Cain can be used in the same sentence. I do however, believe that strength of conviction can be used. This is a man who says what he means and means what he says. He may not be perfect in how he speaks, but I do believe that he will stand by what comes out of his mouth.
During the recent South Carolina Debate, he was asked about torture, while most of the panel took the path of least resistance, Mr. Cain stood by his conviction and stated what a lot of us believe. A lot of Americans would rather "Waterboard" a terrorist in the hope of saving American lives then pussy foot around and hope that the information lands in our lap.
Our military have had their hands tied by Liberals and the ACLU. As a mother of a young man, getting ready to join the Marines, I can tell you that if I had to "Waterboard" someone to get the information need to save his life and the lives of others, I would be the first person in line with the hose.
Many of us are just damn tired of hearing the rhetoric that pours out of career politicians. We are tired of working hard, so others can receive so called entitlements. We are tired of bailing out large corporations. We are just plain tired.
Hopefully, Mr Cain will continue to speak his mind. Hopefully the media and those out to nail his hide to the door, will learn that he is not a coward and he will stand and fight. Just perhaps he is the real thing, a Real Leader.

Conspiracy or Democractic Plot
When Herman Cain first appeared on the Republican stage for the first debate, he was placed far away from the so called front runners. Over time, the public listened to what he had to say and public opinion grew in his favor. People started to take notice of him and his message. His popalarity started to grow and he started to climb in the polls. Republicans and Democrats started to pay attention.
Suddenly, it was Romney and Perry people were talking about, it was Herman Cain. Then the dirt started flying, and things started to climb out of the wood work. The timing is definitly interesting to say the least. The media climbed all of this so called story and made more stories up as they went. This is what passes for journalism in today's world.
I really don't care what label you put on it, conspiracy, democratic plot or manipulation by an individual or individuals to acheive their 15 minutes of fame. It all distracts from the real story, which is the race for the Republican Nomination.
The media paints a picture of women wronged. Women, who for some reason, never came forward until now. As a woman, this doesn't make sense to me. It would take more than $35,000.00 to shut me up. Let alone if I felt I had been sexually assulted. I would have made sure that his butt would be in jail or at least out of a job. None of these occurred, why not?
Think about this possiblity, the Democratic Party wants to take out any Republican threat to the re election by President Obama. Why wouldn't they go after Herman Cain? If you make him unattractive to female voters, then his chances of being the Republican Nominee for President are decreased. The Democratic Party knows that if he goes head to head with Obama, he has a strong chance of winning.
There is not one media outlet that hasn't jumped on the bandwagon with this so called story. Herman Cain doesn't play the game, and that drives them crazy. Americans are really tired to being told what to think and many of us are starting to see through all the smoke and mirrors. American want real change and real economic growth. Americans want real strength of characters, no a rock star mentality.
So, it doesn't matter if it is a conspiracy or a plot. What it is, is a distraction from the issues. If these women have proof, then it comes down to "he said, she said". Here is another question for you, How did Herman Cain become such a successful businessman, if he acted this way?

The Sexual Harrassement of Herman Cain
The Democrats and the media are surely on a crusade to blacken the name of Herman Cain. It just goes to show how afraid they are of the man. It amazes me how people crawl out of the woodwork to bad mouth an individual, once they are in the public eye.
Sexual Harassment is a foul thing, when it occurs, but it is a perception. Individuals often see things differently and because of how gray this area is, it can make proving sexual harassment extremely difficult. If it does occur, you would expect the financial compensation to have several zeros on the check. From what I have read and heard, it does sound like more of an irritation that the Restaurant Association want to resolve then an actual sexual harassment case.
Let's be real, if an attorney thought there was a lot of money to be made, it would have been a court case or court cases, not a settlement. Now, it just seems like a crusade to bad mouth an outsider. Herman Cain is a businessman, not a career politician If he is guilty of sexual harassment, then yes, he should step aside. But if all he is guilty of is being a little flirty or not having these women understand his comments, then the crap needs to stop.
Americans can not afford to be side tracked from the real issues. The media needs to stop their hidden agendas and just report the news. Back in the early 1800's they had a name for this kind of journalism, it was called "Yellow Journalism". So, to the media, just stick to the facts and keep your opinions to yourself, otherwise, just get a late night talk show.
I grew up on names like Huntley, Brinkley and Cronkite. Those were real journalist. So, all I can say is, simply, "Cain has my vote and the votes of these rest of my family."

2012 and The End of Days
For the last couple of years, we have been bombarded with movies, commentary, documentaries, so on and so on. The thing that really bothers my soul, is that very little, if any of the information out there, talks about the religious information. It all seems to be about "shock and awe". If we scare people enough, then maybe we can control them.
Do I worry about 2012 and the possible End of Days, absolutely, but I have faith and a strong belief in God. This is what gets me through life. Do I believe in the Rapture? What I believe is that NO ONE knows when the end of the world will happen. I know what the Bible teaches, I know what my faith teaches. I know that I am not ready to meet my Lord, but I work and pray every day to be better. I put my faith in what I can't see but what my heart tells me surrounds my family and myself.
We have gotten away from what is important. We have but our lives in the hands of individuals, corporations, societies and governments that are godless and who care nothing for us. We live our lives in fear of what man may do to us. The world may end tomorrow, what do you have to show for it? Money, power? What good is it is you die and go the hell?
2012 may be the End of Days, but what if it isn't? What then?

Life is Still Hard
I have been away for awhile, working too many hours, just to make a decent wage. I hate watching the news, because all you hear is "the sky is falling". Anyone who works, or is trying to find a job, knows that the sky fell along time ago.
Just walk in to any grocery store and look at the cost of food, not to mention the cost of gas. All we here is excuses for why our economy is in the toilet, but not one person can find a solution to the problems. Here is a radical idea, how about not outsourcing American jobs. Wow, what a concept!
Life right now in America sucks, but it could be a whole lot worse. So for now we need to be grateful that we can still believe in God, we can still honor our country and our warriors and we can still tell our leaders that they are idots. So, I will keep working and praying and speaking my mind (at least as long as I have one).

The Rising Cost of Gas May Destroy America
It seems that Americans are drowning in the rising cost of gasoline in this country. If you live in a major metropolitan area, you have options as to how you can get to work or to a store. But if you live in other areas of this country, you are tied to your car. So many of us most travel fairly large distances in order to work or purchase food and other necessities for ourselves and our families. There is no train or bus or other means of public transportation.
I am so tired of the media and public figures spouting off about the cost of gasoline in England or other countries. I live in America. I work in America and I don't give a damn about the Global Economy. I worry about how I can afford to drive to work each day. I worry about having enough money to pay my mortgage, to buy groceries, to pay for the basic necessities. I worry about my children and about my neighbors. I worry about other Americans.
In a way, I am lucky, I grew up hard in the mountains of Virginia. I know what it's like to do without. We raised our own food, we had chickens and pigs. We hunted, killed and ate wild game. We didn't have running water, or even an indoor bathroom for much of my life. So, I know how to survive. But, what about other Americans, who have no idea how to make it with little to no money? Will most American make it or will there be riots in the streets? Will there be mass suicides or murder?
People don't seem to understand that gasoline runs our country. I am tired of how dense some Americans seem. How long can you hide your head in the sand? We all need to wake up and demand that Obama open up drilling off shore, open up drilling in Alaska, or make it economically feasible to convert our cars to Natural Gas. We need to become INDEPENDENT from OPEC.
At one time, Americans were known for their "can do" attitude. Now all we seem to hear is excuses. We hear them from the media (along with their unwanted opinions), we hear it from our elected officials, and we hear it from each other. We need to stop this pony ride and get back to business. We need to demand that our employees (our elected officials) start working for us and not for special interest groups, for other countries and for themselves.
We need to take back our country and we need to do it before there is no country left. If gas prices don't start coming down, this once great country may be destroyed and we may be only a foot note in history.

Westboro Baptist Church Makes a Mockery of True Faith
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, citing The First Amendment and the Right to Free Speech. How can anyone with the tiniest bit of human compassion, believe that this had anything to do with Free Speech? It is nothing more than a hate crime hiding behind the mask of Christianity.
I believe in following your heart and your beliefs, but carrying signs and spouting off hateful remarks at funerals is basically immoral and sinful. These so called Christians need to read their Bible more and remember Christ's teachings. Remember, we don't have the right to judge, only God has that Right. The members of the Westboro Baptist Church need to remember that we don't get to Heaven by Grace alone. I don't believe that God will approve of their actions. They all nothing but a bunch of media hounds, hiding behind the pulpit.
The ruling by the Supreme Court, just brings home the realization that our beloved country is failing and has become overrun by immoral hypocrites. So, as an American Citizens, I am utilizing my Right to Free Speech, by calling the Westboro Baptist Church a haven for liars, the immoral and unchristian. Their actions, and words are hateful and their actions are those of a hate group. I personally feel that they are a bunch of cowards, who hide behind their church walls. If they had been alive during the time of Christ, they would have given him up to the Romans on a silver platter.
The goal of a church, of any faith is to spread the word and teaching of their God. Nothing that this church does can be seen as loving or kind. They are hateful and remind me of the Nazi during World War II. Personally, I don't believe that they are a church, but are using the tax code and media to line their own pocketbooks. Oops, there goes that Free Speech again.
So, if you see this bunch of idiots picketing a funeral in the near or distance future, use your Freedom of Speech and maybe even your car to block them from getting any where near the grieving family. Myself and other God Fearing Americans will applaud your efforts. Any while you are in your church or synagogue, pray for the fools who belong to this so called church, they need our prayers. They have made a mockery of true faith and need to see how true believers act.

The Vilification of America By President Obama
How can it be that the President of the United State of America can get away with it?
It wasn’t to long ago, during the health care debate, that Mr. Obama made a mockery of the citizens who participated in the Tea Party rallies. Wasn’t he the one who vilified those at the Town Hall meetings? Just ask Arlin Specter, I’m sure he will talk now after being thrown under the bus. I remember when Mr. Obama held a tea bag up, shook it with a smirk on his face, and referred to citizens of the United States as Tea Baggers.
What as he gotten away with? Well, I’m watching the news and he is giving a speech defending those who oppose Governor Walker. How dare he! Mr. Obama had no business mocking, vilifying , ignoring and embarrassing the Oval Office by insulting those who support the Tea Party Movement, and as sure as the sun shines he has no business sticking his nose into a business of the Great State of Wisconsin. Mr. Obama, how can you tell others not to vilify when you and your cronies do it when ever citizens protest against your policies. It seems that you talk out of both sides of your mouth.
It is apparent to me that you have low morels and scruples that while I respect the Oval Office, I have lost my respect for you! That is why I will no longer refer to you as President of the United States of America. Remember, you work for all citizens of this country.
I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it Stands One Nation Under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.
I learned that in kindergarten some 42 years ago. I believe in that pledge. I believe that if you don’t believe in that pledge you are not an American and do not deserve to live in this great country. I wonder how many children can recite it today? How many of them even understand what it means?

The New Crusades
How many of us have heard the old saying, "History Repeats Itself."? Now, most of us, have the tendency to think that history repeats itself in the same manner, but that is not really the case. Muslims and Christians are involved in a New Crusade, a new religious war. The only difference in this crusade, is that Christians are under siege.
At one point, Faith was seen as a valuable assets. It shaped every part of a person's life. It directly impacted how one lead their life. Unfortunately, over time it became politically incorrect to even acknowledge that you had any sort of religious faith. So, while Americans allowed government to remove Faith and Pray from our schools and from our government buildings, other religions were growing in strength and numbers.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a prime example. Over the last few decades, this group has grown in strength and numbers. The New Crusades have begun and Christians have a target painted on their foreheads. The world needs to wake up and see what our future may hold, especially if the extremist Muslim factions gain in popularity.
Respect and understanding of the various religions in the world should be taught in school, minus political opinion. It is possible, that if we learn to understand different Faiths, that blood shed may be avoided in the future. But along with that must come pride in one's own Faith and Beliefs. It is absolutely possible to like a person and agree to disagree on personal religious viewpoints.
So, while the crisis in Egypt continues to grow and while the world watches, we all need to take a long hard look at ourselves and at our personal beliefs. The New Crusades are here and we all need to be prepared for the changes that we and future generations shall face.

Hidden Taxes In Obama Healthcare
Most, if not all of us have heard or read about how overwhelming the 2000 page Obama Healthcare Bill was for the elected leaders to comphend. It was reported that some didn't even read the whole Bill before voting on it. Another day in Washington, another day that politicans screwed the American People.
Now, it seems that another item contained in the Healthcare Bill has come to light. Hidden in the underbelly of the Healthcare Bill is the 3.8% tax on home sells which starts in 2013. Now some will just look the other way, and think nothing of the tax. But consider this, "Baby Boomers" will be retiring and downsizing their homes. This will have a direct impact on their retirement funds as well as other Americans.
What is really interesting, is that, they're are some in Washington that claim ignorance of this part of the Bill. I guess this goes back to their not reading the entire Bill. Ignorance is Bliss, I guess. What is really important to know is that this tax will affect all homeowners who will sell their homes after 2013. Isn't it interesting that this will go into effect after the 2012 Election?
The Tea Party had a direct impact on the recent Midterm Election. This small grassroots movement electrified Americans and for many it was a wake up call. But the work is not over. We most be ever vigilant for things that will directly impact our lives.

Hard Times Call For Hard Decisions
The last Presidential Election was seen as a great time of change for America. In fact "Change" was the word of the day. So what has changed? Unemployment has risen to a point that some people have actually stopped looking for work. Congress has bailed out the automobile manufacturing industry. The Federal Budget is growing at an astonishing rate. Gas prices continue to climb with no end in sight. Politicians continue to see Americans as stupid, but with deep pockets.
Americans are living in fear. Americans are not only afraid of terrorist and their threats, but we continue to live in fear of losing our jobs, our homes, our freedoms and our rights. We live in fear of elected and career politicians selling us down the river for their personal gain. We live in fear of Big Business jacking up prices on goods and services. We live in fear of becoming a Third World Country because of hidden agendas, lies and greed.
When the Tea Party Movement started, they were ridiculed and lied about by different politicians and media groups. Every day Americans, standing up for what they believed in and for what they wanted were seen as crazy or radical. But in the end their voices were heard and they did effect change. It was a start. But, the work has only started for them and for all Americans.
Hard times have been here for some time. Now is the time for hard decisions. No longer can politicians and elected officials on local, state or federal levels ignore the need to make "Change" a reality. Local and State Governments are running of deficits. The Federal Government is operating in the red and the debt continues to grow. Our leaders can not continue to turn a blind eye to the facts and continue as if nothing is wrong.
We need to make hard decisions. They won't be popular by any stretch of the imagination. Individuals and groups will complain, but if we don't do something soon, we may not have a country to call home. America and it's citizens are in crisis on a multitude of levels. We need our leaders to talk with us, not at us. We need our leaders to work together for the betterment of all of us, not just a select few. We definitely don't need "Politics as usually".
We are losing the greatest generation this country has ever known. They were born in and survived the "Great Depression". They fought in and won a horrific war. They rebuilt this country and now the remaining few are seeing their beloved country flounder and fail. What a sad comment on this once great country.
American families are making hard decisions on a daily basis. We have been tightening our belts and digging deep for quite some time. Now is the time for Congress and the White House to step us and follow our example. The same goes for state and local governments. Hard times call for hard decisions. Hard times are here and they won't be leaving any time soon.

No longer can politicians and elected officials on local, state or federal levels ignore the need to make "Change" a reality. Local and State Governments are running of deficits. The Federal Government is operating in the red and the debt continues to grow. Our leaders can not continue to turn a blind eye to the facts and continue as if nothing is wrong.
We need to make hard decisions. They won't be popular by any stretch of the imagination. Individuals and groups will complain, but if we don't do something soon, we may not have a country to call home. America and it's citizens are in crisis on a multitude of levels. We need our leaders to talk with us, not at us. We need our leaders to work together for the betterment of all of us, not just a select few. We definitely don't need "Politics as usually".
We are losing the greatest generation this country has ever known. They were born in and survived the "Great Depression". They fought in and won a horrific war. They rebuilt this country and now the remaining few are seeing their beloved country flounder and fail. What a sad comment on this once great country.
American families are making hard decisions on a daily basis. We have been tightening our belts and digging deep for quite some time. Now is the time for Congress and the White House to step us and follow our example. The same goes for state and local governments. Hard times call for hard decisions. Hard times are here and they won't be leaving any time soon.

The Destruction of America
There was a time in this Country that hard work, moral character and family values were common place. People worked hard for what they got and handouts were only for those who were in dire need. Children respected their elders and if your child got in trouble at school, then they were in more trouble when they got home. You worried that your child might get in a fist fight at school, not if they would get shot. Where did we go wrong?
While this is only my opinion, I can and will speak my mind. Liberals and their agenda have destroyed this Country and our lives! When I was younger, I really didn't understand politicians and their agenda's, I had no idea what they could do to my life or my Country. I was too stupid to take the time to understand how decisions then could affect my life today.
We are losing are freedoms, one by one. Our way of life is being destroyed and our Country is no longer seen as a beacon of hope. Politicians and Big Business have sold America and it's citizens down the river, all in the name of greed and power. They have used our fears and our personal failings against us. They have taken over our lives and hurts all of us.
Welfare, has become a noose around our necks and is destroying lives, not building lives. Entire generations are drowning in it's mire and there is no way out for them. Why work or reach for anything when the government is giving handouts. How many writers, scientists, world leaders, doctors, lawyers, so on and so on have not seen the light of day, because welfare and liberal ideas have destroyed their potential?
Liberals and Democrats talk about the, "Redistribution of Wealth". It is just another way of keeping people under their thumbs and creating chaos. If they keep us at each others throats then they keep can control us. People in Washington talk about problems with Social Security and Medicare and how they need to trim the fat from these programs, but they never talk about Welfare and trimming those rolls.
Congress was discussing a 5% decrease in their salaries. How about this, STOP receiving a salary, or health benefits or the other perks. How about stopping lobbying and all of the back room deals. How about millionaires and others giving up their Social Security Checks? How about Stopping the million dollar bonus given to CEO's and all the other crap that goes on? How about making Big Business or at least encouraging Big Business to return to our shores instead of making excuse?
It's time for all of us to take a stand. It's time for us to voice our thoughts and opinions. It's time to stand together as Americans. It's time to be proud of having morals and values. It's time to bring prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance back into our schools. It's time to make prisons a scary place and not "rehabilitation place".
I really don't care if you believe in God or not, that's between you and Our Maker. But, if I can respect your beliefs then you should respect mine. If you don't want to pray, that's find but don't tell me that I can't.

Will We Lose Our Right To Bear Arms?
The Constitution of the United States of America grants its Citizens the Right to Own and Bear Arms. Since 1776, Americans have had the Right to keep weapons. It was these weapons that were used to win our freedom from England. Personal weapons were used to tame the West and what Texans used to fight for their independence from Mexico.
Now, granted times have changed, and we are subjected to unwanted violence. But, losing our Right to Bear Arms is not the answer. Americans are slowly losing each and every personal liberty. There may come a time when we have lost all of our Rights and all of our Liberty.
Our elected officials like to use scare tactics on us as a means to control us and to pass their agendas. Oh, they say it's for our own good, but it's just another way to control us and change our way of life. Here's an example, Smoking. We all know that it's bad for us, but if you buy a pack of cigarettes, it is a personal choice. But, most states have taken away that choice for American Citizens. It is really any of their business if you smoke or not? They are really good at throwing statistics at you, but if you have ever studied Statistics, then you know that numbers can be manipulated. Statistics can be bent to provide the whatever answer a person or group is looking for. Bars and restaurants should have the right to provide service to smokers and non smokers alike. No one and no government body should have had the right to take that choice from Americans.
In the days and weeks to come we will be subjected to a mountain of comments and opinions on gun control. We Will hear celebrities, the media and political figures speak on how "guns kill". No, the person holding the gun kills! We will hear how guns are no longer needed to protect our self and our family against foreign or domestic threats. That's a crock! Now more than ever, we need to fight for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. When, any government starts talking about repealing our Rights and Liberties we need to stand up and listen.
I can trace my family roots back to before the Revolutionary War. My ancestors fought for their freedom and so should all of us. We need to stand up for our freedoms and we must defend our Country and Our Constitution. We live in an imperfect world, and an imperfect country. But American has been and should always be a beacon for freedom. As individuals and as country men we must come together and say NO! WE WILL NOT LOSE ANYMORE OF OUR FREEDOMS! WE WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR ANY LONGER! WE ARE AMERICANS! WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY! WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM!
