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?
