I know I am slow getting into the debate however, I now feel that I must speak out; not about the comments that Obama made about the mosque to be built two blocks from where the World Trade Towers once stood, but those of Nancy Pelosi. According to news reports, Nancy “supports” an investigation into who is funding the opposition to the mosque being built.  I am more than just a little tired of Princess Nancy insulting Americans if they dare take a different view than her royal highness does. 

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, this is still the United States where we have the First Amendment rights. Of course Muslims have the right to build a mosque on their property within zoning laws. The Greek Orthodox Church has a right to re-build their church, which was destroyed on 9/11 when the towers collapsed. However, the Greek Orthodox Church is still fighting the city over permits to rebuild for the last nine years. Why doesn’t Nancy support an investigation into the funding of the opposition to that church being able to rebuild? Oh right, she is only interested in those with “ginned-up” political purposes. Wonder what that says about Senator Harry Reid?  Should I assume that her political purpose is Botoxed-Up? Should she be investigated into who funding her? It would be only fair.

Most people opposing the building of the mosque at Manhattan location claim it is a sensitivity issue, which I agree. It would be about as sensitive if the KKK wanted to build anything next to the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama.  Click the link if you are not familiar to what happened there.

Others say opposing the mosque is the same as denying the right to freedom of religion. Again I point out the Greek Orthodox Church, what about them? What about other cities who deny other faiths permits to build on their property across the nation?

I know I haven't been posting for a few days, truth is I haven't been able to even get into my office.  The air exchange in our attic decided to leak right in front of my office door and damaged the wood floor. That had to be torn out and replaced, not to mention the repainting and other little things that go along with home repairs.  A few more things need to be done but at least the doorway is now clear of drop cloths, ladders, paint buckets and piles of wood flooring. 
On Saturday  I was taking photographs at a horse show, and someone thought I was the show's photographer.  The shows usually have a photographer available, this show for some reason didn't.  He wanted me to take photos of his daughter, I was nervous due to the low lighting in the arena. Plenty of light to see, but the low lighting slows down the shutter speed, so if everything wasn't just right I would have a blur going over a jump. To top that off I was using a new lens for the first time and haven't had a chance to see how it performs. He understood, and gave me his card. 
His daughter had only two more trips in her class, which means I didn't have a lot of chances to get a good photograph.  To make matters worse once I reviewed the photographs and found that I did have a really good one of her going over  a jump, which looked as if she was about to run over me.   I could not find his card, now I was upset.  After we went back to the hotel room I emptied out my purse. Going through each and every scrap of paper.  Not there. Then my husband noticed something sticking to the bottom (outside) of my purse. HIS CARD!  Thank you Jesus!  How that card managed to have stuck to the canvas purse amazes me. With all the banging, knocking around moving the camera equipment back into the vehicle and tossing, yes tossing my purse into the front seat, then into the hotel room, again tossing on the bed. NO I didn't toss the camera equipment.
The only thing I could think of was that the Lord wanted this man to have those pictures, which he now does..
Now it is Monday and we are waiting for a worker (who was supposed to be here an hour ago) to finish work on the master bath. Had to have some repair work in there also. Looks great, but now the grout looks terrible.
Still have work to do which might block me from getting into the office. So please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't post your responses in a timely manner.  Either I am can't get to the computer, or else I have some dead-line or meeting that needs my attention.

Hey everybody, great news I got a job offer through the mail yesterday, one I didn’t even apply for.  Out of all the people that apply for jobs each day, they sought me out personally. My job, a Mystery Shopper, You know those people that go around shopping and checking to see what kind of customer service you get. If it was lousy, REPORT THEM! I do love to hunt down poor business practices.

The best part is they sent me a check for $3,929.00 to cover all expenses. This is on the job training and they want to see how well I do. Training pay is $390.00 a week for just going shopping! After three months, the pay goes up to $450 a week.  First, I have to deposit that tidy sum into my checking account. Then as quickly as possible go to one of the stores listed on the instructions and purchase an item on the list of retailers. After that, I must immediately wire the $3,199.00 as this mystery shopper company is evaluating the wire company services.

Once I do that, I then fax my report to the company for evaluation and wait to see if I am offered a full position. It’s so simple. Now what would make me not jump for this exciting opportunity.

You can be sure I did NOT take the bait.  I will tell you what I did do, and it certainly wasn’t depositing that check into my account. I did a little checking. The company as far as I can tell doesn’t even exist. The person’s name used for the company most likely a victim but possibly unaware of the situation. If I knew where this person was currently instead of a few months ago, I’d give him a heads up.  The bank account is out of Maryland. The company address is also out of Maryland. Their phone number is somewhere is Iowa, the address on the return envelope is somewhere in California and to top that off the stamp was Canadian. The check looked like the ones I used to have turned over to me while working for a law enforcement agency that had counterfeit or no account stamped on it in big red letters.

When times are difficult, and jobs hard to find, scammers come out of the woodwork like cockroaches running about hunting for something to eat. They hope somebody will take their lure, they only have to catch a small number to get big rewards. Had I followed the instructions that would have gotten $3,199.00 of my money not theirs. Once that check is deposited, and you follow the instructions, not allowing the check to clear first you become responsible for any checks written on that money. If I wrote a check for the above stated amount, the company would get real money for their fake check. I would now have a problem with writing a felony worthless check charge, and possible grand theft, fraud etc depending on what the state attorney’s office decides to do. According to the instructions, one is not to discuss with anyone the purpose of the shopping, of any other details.
They nicely gave a phone number if one had any questions so you won’t find out that you are being duped.

So far, I have reported the company to the Federal Trade Commission, not that they can do much. After that, I wrote a complaint to the Postal Inspector as the used the postal service for their fraud scheme. Now I am warning you, if you get a job offer through the mail you did not apply for, chances are extremely possibly that you are being scammed. Don’t let yourself become a victim.  Turn them in! If enough people report these clandestine companies, the proper authorities will start an investigation.

I want everyone to know that yes, I am still alive and haven’t forgotten about my blog. It certainly wasn’t the lack of something to write about, rather I would start writing and then get that feeling I am repeating myself.  Losing myself into either searching for ancestors mine or those of someone else, and studying the political climate of the time.

Searching through old newspaper articles was interesting as one article told about a politician accused of embezzling money from the city in which he worked. The politician, who was a democrat, accused the previous administration, a republican, that he was responsible for the missing money. One little problem, the money shortages didn’t start until after the death of the republican.  You can be sure I found items on the republicans too. One would think that politicians would learn something from the past. However, since so many of them don’t read bills, why would one expect them to learn from the past.

This brings me to the current situation out in the Gulf of Mexico. During the Presidential campaign, Obama spent a great deal of time playing the blame game on how Bush handled situations and how much better he would handle them. Now that he sits in the Oval Office, he is finding out everything isn’t as easy as he wanting everyone to believe.

I am not blaming Obama for what happened in the Gulf that would be ridiculous, even though certain Democrats have put the blame on Bush. BP is responsible for their equipment and lack of concern when the warnings appeared that they had problems.  I also understand that unlike a hurricane which you can see coming, the oil disaster could not have been foreseen by Obama. Also, I understand the frustration over BP’s continuing failure over getting the hole fixed. However, perception means everything to the public eye. The oil spill is growing bigger by the minute, yet it appears that Obama has done little to protect our shores from the damaging effects.

Some of pointed out that the EPA stands in the way of protective barriers as they don’t know what the effect it would have on the wildlife in the area. I guess wildlife swimming in oil is much better.  EPA insisted that BP use a less toxic substance to get rid of the oil which isn’t easily found, granted it is far from ideal, but wouldn’t the oil be just as toxic to the waters?

A verse comes to mind, although taken way out of context is Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted; the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. Yet somehow, the verse seems to draw a picture of what is happening.

Right now, my desk is stacked with birth, marriage and death certificates, genealogy charts, obituaries and other documents. None of which have anything to do with Obama, but on that note, I do wonder what my ancestor’s would think about today’s political polices. 

Just to find a name, date of birth, where they lived, whom they married, and when they passed on, are a feelings of success, but tell me nothing about their views.  Checking some records of a few ancestors, at least by conjecture, come up with some ideas how they would feel.  Some left a paper trail relatively easy to follow, others must have just dropped out of the sky and landed in Ohio but the census says born in somewhere Pennsylvania, then I have the ones from Denmark. If you have ever tried doing genealogy on Danish ancestors, you know what that is like.

Some of the early English ancestors helped set up the towns they lived in, literally from scratch. One of which was a magistrate who signed a warrant for the arrest of a woman accused of witchcraft (later acquitted). This was not one of the Salem “witches” as numerous towns had witch trials. Crops failed, early frosts, late frosts,  spring storms, hot summers, extra cold winters, floods, drought, miscarriages, murder, sickness, cattle died, sheep died, and  a husband came home intoxicated without taking strong drink, someone must be to blame for all the calamity. Not hard to figure out what they would be doing, the question would be; would they be liberal or conservatives since both sides play the blame game. 

Another group of ancestors would support the reduction of nuclear weapons, albeit they could never have imaged such weapons would one day exist. However, they would be adamant about their right to bear arms. I can picture them protesting the war but never turning to violence, be more than happy to give the military food and clothing even a place to sleep. They would want the government to stay out of their lives, and would not be happy with most of the regulations today.  They would disapprove of Obama’s frolicking in public, and he dresses too flashy. I am sure they would have something to say about Michelle clothing also. Sounds like a mix of far left and far right somehow, centrist doesn’t sound correct either.

Others joined the military and fought in the Revolution, a couple of them gained in rank. I haven’t found any loyalists, though I am not saying they aren’t there. They might wonder if he would defend this country or not. One of them might say he has lofty speech but otherwise his words are empty. 

One distant half-cousin probably would have slipped into the unknown except for American History trivia buffs if it hadn’t been for July 11 1804. Here is something we can hope that history does not repeat itself.  Otherwise, Timothy Geithner had better watch out for Joe Biden. For a clue, my half-cousin is not the one on the ten-dollar bill.  This distant relative might try to make grounds like the European Union.

Checking my husband’s genealogy of the time, I thought I found one with a very impressive rank; to my relief, he had the same name, and lived in the right area, but wrong date of birth and wrong wife. This man aided someone who was worse than the one mentioned above, his male descendants won’t get into the Sons of the American Revolution that is for sure. My advice to those that are his descendants, pick another line and don’t mention the guy.

One ancestor of mine complained in a letter to his father, about the government people “rascals” at the land office, couldn’t be trusted and what he wanted to do to them. He bemoaned that the Federal Government wasn’t responding to the complaints about the “goings on” in that land office. Good thing email wasn’t around back then, or the FBI (no such thing then either) would have been knocking on the door of his log cabin. He wanted to move to “Ioway” which he and his family did sometime later.  I am sure it was tongue in cheek as he had a good sense of humor judging by his letters.  In another letter spoke about his uncle got into the losing end of a fight on Election Day (1856). My ancestor didn’t say what the fight was about maybe one of them made fun of the Know Nothing party.

My husband had several ancestors in the Civil War, they complained about being “compelled” to join the Confederate Army. Two great-grandfathers were in the same unit, until the entire unit went AWOL some Captain rounded them up and they remained until the end of the war. One simply referred to the matter as the rich man’s war.  A relative of one of the two hid out in woman’s clothing until Union soldiers came through and he joined their ranks.

I remember my mother telling about her grandmother would say that the world is going to hell in a hand-basket. Considering this was during the Depression I am sure it must have seemed like it to her. From reading about the Depression and speaking to those that lived through the time, we have it far easier.

What would my ancestors think? Some would be quiet, some of them like me not minding who knows their opinion and they would encourage me to speak out more, as long as I didn’t frolic, or dress flashy while doing so.  Some would demand to put all of the politicians in the stocks for a day, maybe longer if they didn’t see the error of their ways. Most likely, like all of us do now, each of them with different opinions on different matters.

Again, I was out of town for a few days, and had to meet some deadlines and a couple of photo shoots on top that, otherwise I would have written sooner.  I have to wear many hats and occasionally more than one at a time.  If any of you are wondering if one of them is red the answer is no. I do not belong to the Red Hat Society. However, I do belong to a patriotic civic organization, although non-political. 

Now sometime last night the House passed the Senate version of the health care bill. Those in favor touted this bill would bring affordable insurance for everyone; I certainly hope that this does happen. One must remember that like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is affordability in the eye of the beholder.  Yes, this may help some people, while others may find their health insurance problems just beginning. However, I covered all of this in other articles.

Several have written to me on both sides of the issues, but due to time constraints, I was unable to respond, so I am making this a blanket response.  One wanted to know an alternative to the then current bill. I think the Republicans made some suggestions, which would have gone a long way to help reduce the cost of medical care. Sadly, those suggestions were not included in the bill, nor do I believe the Democrats never intended to do so.

I have stated my opinion in my articles and really don’t need to rehash them again.  My concerns are very real, when trying to deal with elected democrat officials from my state, none of them answered my inquiries.  Do they have something to hide?

Time will tell if this health care bill works or is this the monstrosity that the Republicans say that it is? Let us pray that the former is true and not the latter. But we won’t really know until 2014 when most of this bill will take effect.  Those that said they needed insurance now, I hope you can wait another 4 years.

I have been hearing so much about Obama using Saul D. Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals, I had to look for myself.  The book written in the day of the Viet Nam war, and student unrest on college campuses the book does hold kernels of truth about the nature of man.  Getting past Alinksy’s terminology of the time of “Doing my thing”, or “What’s his bag,” one might think the book was written for today. The term “community organizer” is used frequently throughout the book.

 

 

The organizer’s job is to inseminate an invitation for himself, to agitate, introduce ideas, get people pregnant with hope and a desire for change and to identify you as the person most qualified for this purpose.  (Alinsky, 1971) Anything sound familiar? Hope and Change. Hope We Can Believe In.

 

The very first chapter states “Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” (Alinsky, 1971) Obama made it clear when he said to Joe the Plumber. "It's not that I want to punish your success," Obama told him. "I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success, too.  Then, Obama explained his trickle-up theory of economics. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." (Hurt, 2008)

 

While “spreading the wealth around” sounds good to the liberal, to others, for those in generational poverty the attitude is that society owes one a living. (Payne, 2005) Handing out ever growing entitlements to those that will not work only continues the cycle of dependence on the government continues to grow. However, that may be the plan of the left they need their base. Those on the left that giving to the poor is the Christian thing to do.  Fourth Rule: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.  (Alinsky, 1971)

 

Luke  18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

 19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

 20Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

 21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

 22Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

 23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

 

I don’t see anyone on the left giving everything away down to their last nickel. Nor do they intend to, but for a tactic against the right. Rule 4 works very well. 

 

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.  Look at what the left does with Sarah Palin. The woman cannot do anything without Rule 5 blasting on SNL and late night talk shows, or Robert Gibbs taking a dig. A word of advice to Robert Gibbs don’t use Rule 5 when talking about someone else’s method of giving speeches, it really does make you look foolish.

 

Rule number 13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Prime example would be in every speech about anything Obama always includes the following. In fact, when I first walked through the door, the government’s budget deficit stood at $1.3 trillion, with the budget gap over the next decade projected to be $8 trillion. (Weekly Adress, 2010) Maybe Obama should consider the 7th rule: A tactic that drags out too long becomes a drag.  Everybody, including my cat, has the “I inherited this problem” memorized.

Rule 9: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.  Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat. And Mr. Obama’s success this week in pressuring the Senate to confirm 27 nominations by threatening to use his recess appointment power demonstrated that executive authority can also be leveraged to force action by Congress.  (Baker, 2010) 

The 10th rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.  Problem here lays the possibility that people will finally have enough with bullies and elect to have them removed from office.  If the Tea Party isn’t a wake-up call for the Democrats, then Rules for Radicals are more important that what the American public wants from Washington. 

I do recommend this book for all conservatives. The book is highly enlightening as to the often disgraceful tactics, so called ethics or better lack thereof, and “means and ends” to obtain power.

I have read several news articles on various news sources regarding a number of political issues. Historically, politics has always been spirited even in the beginning of the United States. However, for some reason, now it just seems different. The extent that some of the responders to articles goes just makes me sad.  The liberals accuse the conservatives as hate mongers, deservedly for some. Although I wouldn’t say the liberals were exactly dripping with love and compassion themselves by reading their responses.  They were just as hateful and vile to those they accused of being a conservative.

The people responding to these articles I might sum up as a full flung brouhaha. Often the discussion starts-off civil enough, then some instigator from one side or the other unable to defend their opinion starts picking someone’s typos, spelling or grammar skills or  lack there-of, as if proves the person writing the message doesn’t know what they are talking about.   After that the name-calling starts, usually with either libtards or conpukes for the milder ones. If that isn’t enough to make one’s eyes hurt, they are just getting started. I read the responses until my eyes hurt from all the abusive tone. I am not accusing all, but some brave sole comes in and tries to reason with both sides. Most of the responders usually ignore the person and continue their tirade. I wonder if these blogs moderate the posts at all. From the language I have seen I would have to wager the answer would be no.

Sometime ago some were making a huge deal out of Obama using Dijon mustard on his hamburgers. Look, I can find plenty to issues of Obama’s to disagree about, but Dijon mustard? If I did, I would have to throw out the mustard out of my refrigerator due to the fact I have only one kind. Yes, I do put it on my hamburger, hotdog or anything else I put mustard on. Just in case someone wants to ask a silly question do I put Dijon on ice cream. NO, but if Obama does, well its his digestive system.

Remember the criticism that George H. Bush got because he signed an executive order banning broccoli from Air Force One? I was a Democrat then, and figured he is a grown up and could decided for himself if he wanted to eat broccoli. Guess he didn’t have any better luck getting the dog to eat the broccoli than I did. (Read my last article if you are wondering)

It finally breaks down that no one is listening to anybody, both sides are angry. And yes, a lot of people are angry at both the Democrats and the Republicans. I put more responsibility on the Democrats because they have both houses, and the White House still can’t get anything accomplished except to blame the Republicans. The Republicans should have taken responsibility back in between 2000 and 2004 and a lot of this wouldn’t have happened. Now neither side takes responsibility. Both sides are going into campaign mode, so all we can expect is that nothing substantial will be accomplished.

I have to agree with Michelle Obama that child obesity is a crisis in our country.  The problem is what would be the proper solution to solve the situation.  From an article written by USA Today states that “the federal government would work with local officials and leaders in the business and non-profit sectors, to provide more nutritious food in schools, allow more opportunities for kids to be physically active and give more communities access to affordable, healthful food.”

While not trying to be critical as I do agree, obesity in anyone is a problem. However, responsibility seems to have fallen on the schools. Schools could offer healthier meals and give more physical education time, but that would be an additional cost to the taxpayers. As some families have had to cut back their food budget and purchase cheaper less nutritious food choices, the schools have also had to cut back on their food budgets. More students are receiving reduced and free lunches, which equals fewer dollars back into the school lunch program.  Either the federal government will have to give more in subsidies, the state will give the local districts more money for lunch programs, districts could increase local property taxes, or finally increase the price of school lunches for those that don’t qualify for free or reduced lunches.

Additional physical education time would be beneficial. This reminded me of when I was going to school way back in the days when TV was just starting to go into the classrooms, we had physical education every day. Mainly it was to get us students out of the teacher’s hair for thirty minutes, have us run laps in the miserable hot weather then sing a rousing chorus of “Go, You Chicken Fat Go!”  How many of you remember that little ditty? After which a couple of kids would pass out from heat exhaustion the rest of us would return to our classroom all sweaty and stinky; which may explain why our teachers appeared ill after we came back to class.

We all had to take physical fitness tests everyone had to pass the timed tests, or else you were considered “unfit”. No consideration that some kids just weren’t built the same even if they weren’t fat. I have a genetic disorder, which often isn’t obvious in younger children, the only sign might be being the class klutz. You know the kid no one wants on their team.  At the end of the year, the lucky students who passed all the physical tests received a nice little patch.  If you wish to sing along but can't remember the words click here.  As one Phys. Ed teacher said even students as dumb as a rock could get one of these.  Not exactly politically correct, even for then, but nothing was ever said.  Students with obvious disabilities only had to try, and they got the coveted patch, which is only fair. So what is worse than being as dumb as a rock? Being labeled unfit of course.

The article mentioned very little on how parents and children are to make right choices when it comes to dietary needs. How can you convince a child that steamed broccoli is good for you when chocolate cake tastes so much better? Many children have learned, you can’t hide broccoli in milk, nor will the dog eat the vegetable. Considering my dogs would on occasion insist on eating the most disgusting things,  (no doggie kisses after that) and wouldn’t eat broccoli made me wonder if the green vegetable was a toxic substance.  Considering the pesticides used back then, it probably was a toxic substance, not to mention fish with all the mercury content and other foods considered “healthy” slam packed full of cancer causing contaminations. 

The problem never really went away just pushed back on the back burner and forgotten until medical reports came out about the increase in obesity. Now once again the government is stepping in and making regulations, telling us what to eat, not eat and how to exercise. Sounds a little like the 1949 book entitled 1984 by George Orwell.

People make choices, sometimes they are wrong choices.  What concerns me is that the government is trying so hard to control every aspect of our lives. While “pro-choice” people state that the government should stay out of what a woman does with her own body, why is it acceptable for the government to say what foods are okay or not okay to put into our bodies?

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that corporations, labor unions and other groups can spend directly on political campaigns.  I have not located the courts comments on the case possibly has yet to be posted, however, I find it fascinating that we will be able to find out exactly who is contributing to whom with campaign money. Sometimes a name  and who they work for often doesn’t mean much without a little research, however if let’s say pharmaceutical companies were contributing large amounts of campaign money to a certain candidate who was claiming to clamp down on “gouging drug companies” wouldn’t that be interesting to know.

It is my opinion that the only reason Congress will send up any protest over the court’s ruling is that they don’t want us to know exactly where their money is coming from.  Campaign disclosure information gives name, who they work for, and the amount given. Right now individuals have a limit on how much they may give in contributions. We already know that oil companies tend to support Republicans and unions Democrats.  I wonder how much money financial institutions will be giving to the Democrats this year, considering the bail out money they received. Worse if they use part of the bail out money to make those contributions. But I supposed that would be acceptable if contributed to the correct candidate.  If things weren’t sleazy enough in Washington this should make the path to the Congress as slippery as banana peels on icy roads.

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred [3] from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows
