We can literally go back to the creation of our existence to verify that FREEDOM comes from GOD. Freedom to make our own choices is what separates us from all of God's other creations. Obviously then, from this, we can conclude that God must have thought it was of importantance that humans, and only humans, have this FREEDOM. This RIGHT.
You would think that would be enough to prove that humans were not intended to be ENSLAVED by other humans. Yet that is exactly what the US Government has been working towards for decades. Yes it has been greatly expadited under Obama, but he is hardly responsible for creating the idea or putting the players into place that are needed to push it over the top.
The government is in the later stages of it's plan to make all citizens dependant upon it for basic survival. Our elected officials are taking multiple approaches to accomplish this.
For one group of Americans, it is trying to scare them into submission by oppressing our free economy through fear-mongering (they have the backing of nearly all news outlets and un-bias reporting is a thing of the past), government purchases of puiblicly held companies (the car industry, the banking industry, etc.), unprecidented spending (bail-out, TARP, call it what you will - it is mindless spending that has produced no return), and of course the more traditional acts of blatant lies and taxation (i.e. promises of transperancy, Cap and Trade, and much much more here).
Through another large group of Americans, the government is inticing them into submission through the promises of large-scale, modified, communal living (Healthcare, entitlement programs for lazy Americans, and scaling down of our Military and border security .... amongst many other initiatives).
And there are many smaller groups that are being lured in and/or funneled in through other means. And there are, of course, some that will never give in no matter what is offered or threatened(present!). The underlying tactic here is that the US Government no longer wants to "Teach a man to fish". That would require a long term, large scale reduction in our government. Politicans on both sides of the fence have no interest in this of course. This is precisely why the Republicans are offering no alternatives to the outrageous policy the Democrats are currently shoving down our throats. They simply want to voice disagreement publicly so they increase the likelihood of being re-elected. They actually like the idea of the Democrats succeeding at their agenda right now. That way they can say, "See, I told you so". And no doubt they will. If they do win, which is seeming more likely every day, I will be saying the same thing. The difference is I am a regular citizen, not an elected offical who was voted into my position to represent the people, speak up for the people, and protect our country "from enemies both foreign AND domsetic".
So back to God and free will, freedom, and rights. People throw around the term "God's Will" quite often in life. God has two types of "will". The first is active will. Meaning he can intervine and change an outcome. The other is passive will. Meaning he chooses to not intervine and "allows" a certain outcome. Elected officials are given this same power by the citizens that elect them. They can make things happen or they can watch from the sidelines and do nothing. Exactly what our politicians are doing today. The liberal contengency is taking action, albeit self-destructive action, while the "conservatives" (I use the term very loosely) sit and do nothing more than HOPE for failure. I have a suggestion. GET ON THE FIELD AND PLAY DEFENSE YOU IDOITS!!!!
........ calming down (yeah, right). Simple recap: the Democrats are running out of control doing whatever their little hearts desire right now. The Republicans are whining but offering little or no alternatives. The majority of our population does not want what the Democrats are doing right now to happen. Nor do they approve of the lazy Republican party sitting on the sidelines, offering nothing but a verbal disagreement (I call it whining and "playing the victim").
Conservative Americans, however, are finally getting it - they realize that they have to become what they have always hated about the liberals, ACTIVISTS. And they are doing it. Their elected officals, however, are not. They remain visionless.
The collective government no longer cares about our GOD-given rights. Some would argue, and have a pretty strong case, that the government no longer cares about God period. And that this is actually the root issue with our country.
At the end of the day, the US Government was not created to feed us, to put gas in our cars, to give us housing, or to mend our boo-boos. "Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT of Happiness" is not a declaration of a communal society. It is a RIGHT, not an ENTITLEMENT. Our culture does not seem to be able to grasp this. Instead, we seem to be content to just "Give a man a fish" ...... day after day after day after day after day ......

You'll do it and you'll like it!!
Young people are one of the major reasons Obama got voted in. How does he reward them? The health care bill that the Senate is voting on this very second (watching it this morning and praying for a miracle FAILURE ---- actually ..... Reid just voted and then the 51st vote for it came in after that .... so it has now passed and will ehad to the House) REQUIRES our youth (and all Americans) to buy health insurance from someone or they will be fined $750/year.
Even worse, if the young don't buy insurance, the middle aged and older will have higher premiums because the provider's risk is so much higher without the younger, HEALTHIER youth of America participating in their "risk pool" - which helps to offset the costs for Americans as they age and have increased health issues. And whether or not the youth of America participate, which most will not because it is a waste of their money, the citizens that are going to be left paying for this hasty, partisan reform aren't even born yet.
....and not to leave any age group out, the President had an opportunity to use the monies paid back from borrowers from the last TARP to apply toward Medicare for our "seniors"...... did he do it? No. Did he use the monies to pay down the deficit? No. Did he give it back to the Americans he took it from to begin with? No. What did he do with it? He approved a completely new spending bill for the returned monies - which actually violated the TARP bill itself that directed any monies paid back to go towards reducing the deficit.
He has managed to alienate EVERY single age group in this country.
The single scariest thing? There is not ONE poll that wanted this Bill to pass, not even the polls adminstered by liberal groups - not a single poll. Sometimes polls can be mis-leading because they are done so hastly or are too isolated. Not the case here. Remember, Congress has been working on this all year. Hundreds and hundreds of polls have been taken from every imaginable pool of citizens and they were done over months and months ...... and America, both the conservative "cores" and liberal "cores", do NOT want this type of reform.
I think almost every citizen in the country would want reform of some kind if they fully understood the opportunities for us to improve what is already the best healthcare system in the world. As an example: if all citizens were free to buy insurance across statelines, competition would naturally drive costs down. This would not only make it more affordable for more Americans to purchase insurance (IF they wanted to that is), but it would also reduce the debt for those that have insurance --- thus freeing up money for them to put towards that martgage tehy bought that they can't afford or to put back into the economy by spending it thye can afford to - both of which would help the eceonomy and help avoid future "TARP's.
In case you don't know - being able to buy across state lines is not in either the House version of this bill or the Senate's. Why? WHY?? Because that would support capitolism and that goes against this landmark opportunity to pass the first ever REQUIRED ENTITLEMENT. "Required Entitlement" is the language that needs to be used here, but it needs to be explained. Entitlements are things that Socialist governments are made up of. You feel you are "entitled" to everything that your fellow citizens have and the government agrees that you should have it too, regardless of your effort to EARN it. We take this a step further here and actually REQUIRE citizens to particpate in it - or they will be fined $750/year. To my liberal friends, please think about it: the government is requiring our citizens to spend money on INSURANCE. If the citizen chooses not to spend their hard-earned money on INSURANCE, the government will TAKE $750/year from that citizen!!! How can ANYONE support STEALING from our citizens? What's next? They require us to buy certain foods that they decide are healthy for us -- and if we don't, we get FINED via paying higher taxes!!! They decide "mental health" shold fall under their socialist umbrella as well and now they want to fine us for playing certain video games or watching certain movies and even having high-stress jobs like "running a business" or "being a waitress". Those are high stress and bad for our mental states and we aren't mature enough to deal with it ourselves, so we get FINED for putting ourselves in a stressful position ..... WHAT?!!??!?!
That is where we are headed people. This Health Care Bill is the ultimate "gateway drug" and I am sickened by having this crammed down our throats. We are opening the door for the greedy politicians and extreme left to take over every aspect of our lives. The minority is truly dictating over the majority in this country. Not how it's supposed to work people. Please read The Consitution. If you read it and feel that it is wrong, please go start your own country somewhere -- anywhere. Just go away. Seriously, Canada has millions and millions of acres and miles and miles of vacant land. And they already have this crappy healthcare that you want. Go away. We can use the returned TARP monies to buy you land in Canada and build you homes (anything to get rid of you) -- but you can never come back to this great country.
If we do not stop this type of reform in the House in January, I truly do believe we will be using the language "oppression" in the very near future when it comes to the government's relationship with the people that it is supposed to work for and be afraid of. We will all be living lives that they want us to live, instead of the lives of our choosing - that is called oppression.
Even worse, if the young don't buy insurance, the middle aged and older will have higher premiums because the provider's risk is so much higher without the younger, HEALTHIER youth of America participating in their "risk pool" - which helps to offset the costs for Americans as they age and have increased health issues.

Does the President care about creating jobs?
President Obama campaigned with the number one focus of fixing the economy. That means he has to create jobs so Americans have money to spend. Without this, the economy will never recover. We must create jobs.
Since taking office, Obama has sent the country further into debt by passing a stimulas bill (among other things), which which cost us jobs. This cost us jobs because it is scaring Americans and they are spending less. Spending less causes businesses to cut back and to even shut down. Higher unemployment leads to less and less spending which just feeds this ugly circle.
Next, he tries to pass "Cap and Trade". This consumed the several months of his first year. This bill did not pass, but if it had it would have cost every single American a huge indirect tax increase. Utility companies would be charged under the bill for creating energy and these costs would be passed on to the consumer -- and every single American uses energy, so we all would have feel the dig. That scared Americans even more, both consumers and investors. Again, less money spent means more job cuts and more business closures.
Next, he puts all of his energy into passing government run healthcare. This gives Americans the biggest scare of all and consumer spending continues to drop ...... so, less jobs and more bankruptcies of businesses and consumers.
Next, he ignores the request from top Generals in our military for additional troops to WIN the war that we are fighting. More and more fear among Americans.
Now, he holds a "Job Summit" ...... in his 11th month? I thought this was his number one priority? A little overdue don't you think? Well, let's make it worse. The number one job provider in America is small business. The Chamber of Commerce has millions and millions of small business members. It would only make sense to have the Chamber of Commerce present at this job summit then. No invitation extended by Obama. It was nothing more than another photo op for the ego-maniac that sits atop the most powerful country in the world.
These are the facts.
Do you think he cares about creating jobs? Do you think we can stay atop the world if this extreme agenda is allowed to continue?

Egoes are an amazing thing.
We have a war going on, we have Americans turning into terrorists and attacking us on our own land, we have the highest number of unemployed Americans we have ever seen, and we have the biggest energy crisis in the history of our world to deal with - all of this at the same time. You would think that the PRESIDENT would be concerned enough about these issues to do something about them.
The war, the economy, and the energy crisis were pretty much all that were talked about during the election - aside from Health Care reform. But once elected, the ONLY thing President Obama cares about is his precious Health Care reform. ????? Why does he care so much about this one issue? What happened to the other "critical issues"? Very simple. He wants to be known as the man who passed the bill that no other President could. That's it. It's his ego. He knows that he will go down in the history books for all time. He knows that he will gain millions of more "worshipers". Some would say that this is not the reason - because he's the first black President and therefore he is going to be in the history books for all time anyway. Come on now....... there will be other black presidents (which I personally think is a good thing by the way). But only one President can pass Health Care reform, and he wants to make sure it's him. He is willing to trade all of those other issues to get it too.
Remember that promise that unemployment will stay below 8%??? Remember that promise of transparency??? Remember the promise of reaching out to Americans to get their input on every major decision??? Remember the promise of seeking alternative fuel sources immediately??? Remember the promise to discontinue "politics as usual"??? Does anyone remember the campaigning at all?
Politics are as usual. Nothing new to see here. If our elected officials do what the majority of Americans want and stop this ridiculous Health Care bill, will the President wake up and start addressing the more urgent issues?
It's not that difficult. Create jobs. The rest of it takes care of itself. But if he creates jobs and makes Americans INDEPENDENT, then we won't "need" the government ....... that doesn't work for him. Think I'm crazy? I might be, but Obama has increased our unemployment by more than 25% since he took office!!! Imagine if all of those people were still working. More jobs means more money injected into the economy, which means more jobs created, which means more money injected into the economy, which means more jobs created -- all of which means more REVENUE for the government (taxes), which means a reduced deficit as well as more money for fighting terrorists at home and abroad, and it means more money for researching alternative energy sources and training doctors (because we don't have enough as its is!) ...... get it? The long-term survival of a capitalistic economy demands that the private sector run the country, not politicians.
Politicians, get out of our business.
Patriots, vote these EGO-MANIAC Republicans and Democrats OUT.

Some great math coming out of the Democratic party this week
Harry Reid actually said that this new health care bill will SAVE the country money, that it will SAVE Medicare, and that Americans are as excited as he is about the bill.
What? Is EVERYONE in DC on crack?
The facts are completely the opposite of this loon's statements. If you INCREASE taxes in enough places, you can actually throw more money at the cost of Health Care than is needed. That is what they are doing. This is called "robbing Peter to pay Paul", or "moving money from one pocket to the other", or "Obama really thinks that all Americans are as stupid as the friends of Oprah".
So we will pay for Health Care in the form of costs, both direct and indirect, in other areas. And the government is actually passing on enough increases to OVER-pay what is needed for the Health Care fund ...... thus giving the impression that the Health Care program is somehow magically reducing the budget.
You REALLY think that we are that stupid? We need JOBS created or there won't be any money to collect from us you idiots. If these losers, both Democrats and Republicans, would just put a fraction of the effort into creating jobs that they are putting in to raising our taxes just so they can say they "won" something, we would be out of this recession already.
Something's gotta give here or we will go down a road that might be impossible to get off.
Can't the loons just go camp in the top of a rare tree somewhere with a spotted owl and let us live our lives?

Back in it ....
I have been more than just a little pressured these past couple of months. I have got some HUGE personal issues and professional isues behind me now though and I am VERY excited about getting back into my weekly writing mode. Having moved further away from Charlotte this past month, I was forced to resign from my Examiner.com Sports writer position. However, Examiner is working with me to create a real estate/vacation rental column for the Asheville area. Very excited about that. I will let you know as soon as I get it finalized and get my first article out.
Also look for my next article on the main site of "Where is Our Country Going.com". The current adminstration is making it entirely too easy for Republicans to completely bash the President. But they were going to bash him no matter what, so that's not news. Independents like me are the people he needs to be concerned about. I did not vote for him, but obviously a lot of independents did. Obama has not been able to maintain the support of those independents though. Man, I have a lot to write about - VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED!! See you for now!

The "Race Card"
Sickened today. Absolutely sickened. Although race will always be a topic of discussion and a point of disagreement, this is not a RACIST country. Some Americans, both black and white, are denying that we have moved beyond that label because it doesn't play into their personal and political agendas. Acknowledging that we are post-racial forces us to hold ourselves accountable. It means we can no longer play the victim. It means that we are being held to our values based strictly on our values and not on the color of our skin. It forces us to look ourselves in the mirror for who we truly are. It's called TRUTH. Values define our citizens, not race.
I live in North Carolina. I have lived in Raleigh, in Charlotte, on the coast, in the country, and now live in the foothills near Hickory - with the intention of moving to the mountains of Asheville in the near future. I have also lived in South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Californina, Idaho, Washington, and aboard several Naval ships while serving in the Marine Corps. I have visited countless countries on 5 continents. I have been in management for the past 11 years and currently work as a personnel manager with an international company that has over 300,000 employees. I am only 35. ........You could say that I've been around.
I say all of that to establish my credibility on having an opinion on this matter. Here are some more facts for you. I was not raised around very many people that were any race other than white. I was raised in a home with a step-father that was very racist, but he never even knew a black person. I was also raised watching every episode of The Cosby Show (yes, my step-father watched every episode with us and laughed just as hard as we did!!). 14% of Americans are black. 85% of all NBA players are black. 65% of all NFL players are black. 22% of all North Carolinians are black. Just over 20% of the entire Army is made up of black people. The entertainment arena is dominated by black people. 100% of sitting US Presidents are black. (couldn't help but point that last one out!!!)
I could go on ........ Let me say this one again though: 14% of the US population is black. Look at the rest of those numbers again. Now look at this one: the day that President Obama took office, a whopping SEVENTY PERCENT of this country approved of him!!!! Now, I don't have a college education, but I am pretty sure that if 14% of the country is black, and 70% of the country supported him, there must be, oh about 180 MILLION white people that supported this black man (yes, I took into consideration that there were some hispanics that supported him and that some blacks did not). How can anyone say that this country is still a racist country?? How can ANYONE say that black people are not treated AT LEAST as "good" as whites? America has come a long way and I am very proud of that!!! I have lived in more places and been exposed to more types of culture than 99% of the people in this country. I have seen racist white people and racist black people living all over this world. I have met white people that "act" blacker than some black people I know and some black people that are "whiter" than my grandma. There will always be those that are racist. One last point on this before I move on. Why did 90%+ of all blacks vote for Obama? Why are white people afraid to answer that question? I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you were to take the Presidential candidate's names OFF the ballot, and instead list only their VALUES, that no where near 90% of blacks would have voted for Obama.
Ok. Moving on. I am no racist. Not at all. But I am not afraid to talk about race. To some, the fact that I am white and make it a point to clarify that I am not a racist, and that I am willing to talk about race, makes me a racist. Again, let's all write down our values on a piece of paper and take away the skin color and the names. That is TRUTH. Embrace it.
Here is my opinion on the current race card being played. I am an activist. I am personally, actively involved with rallies, protests, and movements in this country. I witness events personally. I then watch the liberal media distort these events to fit their radical agenda. They go out of their way to create lies in an attempt to protect the man they want to push their liberal desires. They make claims that anyone disagreeing with Obama's policies is a racist. White poeple are leading the way in this movement, by the way. Carter is a big name that has joined this approach, but is hardly the biggest offender.
Our country has a long history of harshly critiqueing politicians, especially our President. Yet now that we are questioning this liberal President, who happens to be balck, we are being labeled as racists. Using that same logic, why wasn't the critiqueing of the prior 43 Presidents considered racist? Why were we "allowed" to call Bush a liar, but not Obama? Why were people allowed to protest against Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Carter, Reagan, Nixon and every other President we have ever had ------ and, in ALL of those cases have the media cover it as NEWS; but now those same "news" channels claim racist motives every time a white person challenges this President? Challenging politicians is an American Pasttime. Attempting to make this a racial issue is racist in itself, yes; but worse, it is a LIE. It is UN-American. Worst of all, it is going un-checked because so many are afraid to confront their accusers out of fear that they will personally be labeled a racist. Several big names on FOX News ARE stepping up and addressing this. Kudos to them. For me, I will address ANYTHING that is UN-American.
The President himself refuses to get invovled in this race dispute. That could be taken a couple of different ways. I personally will give him the benefit of the doubt that it is because he doesn't want to make this argument "legitimate". Just like he ignored the hundreds of thousands of us that marched on Washington on 9/12 because he didn't want our voice to be heard.
Now for the good news. Unfortunately, the liberal left is playing the race card. The reason they are playing it is because they are LOSING. They are losing their fight to pass government run healthcare. They are losing their fight to pass Cap and Trade. They are losing their fight to push through yet another "bail-out". They are losing their fight to force employees to give up their right to a secret ballot. They are losing their fight to increase taxes. They are losing their fight to financially ENSLAVE all of us. The liberal left is desperate. Very desperate. This is good news.
8 months after taking the greatest office in the land, President Obama has seen his support fall from 70% to 42%. This is because of his VALUES. He LIED to those that voted for him. His TRUE color is shining through and it is "yeller"!!! Yes, that means COWARD.
I love this country - red, white and blue baby!!!!

I live in North Carolina. I have lived in Raleigh, in Charlotte, on the coast, in the country, and now live in the foothills near Hickory - with the intention of moving to the mountains of Asheville in the near future. I have also lived in South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Californina, Idaho, Washington, and aboard several Naval ships while serving in the Marine Corps. I have visited countless countries on 5 continents. I have been in management for the past 11 years and currently work as a personnel manager with an international company that has over 300,000 employees. I am only 35. ........You could say that I've been around.
I say all of that to establish my credibility on having an opinion on this matter. Here are some more facts for you. I was not raised around very many people that were any race other than white. I was raised in a home with a step-father that was very racist, but he never even knew a black person. I was also raised watching every episode of The Cosby Show (yes, my step-father watched every episode with us and laughed just as hard as we did!!). 14% of Americans are black. 85% of all NBA players are black. 65% of all NFL players are black. 22% of all North Carolinians are black. Just over 20% of the entire Army is made up of black people. The entertainment arena is dominated by black people. 100% of sitting US Presidents are black. (couldn't help but point that last one out!!!)
I could go on ........ Let me say this one again though: 14% of the US population is black. Look at the rest of those numbers again. Now look at this one: the day that President Obama took office, a whopping SEVENTY PERCENT of this country approved of him!!!! Now, I don't have a college education, but I am pretty sure that if 14% of the country is black, and 70% of the country supported him, there must be, oh about 180 MILLION white people that supported this black man (yes, I took into consideration that there were some hispanics that supported him and that some blacks did not). How can anyone say that this country is still a racist country?? How can ANYONE say that black people are not treated AT LEAST as "good" as whites? America has come a long way and I am very proud of that!!! I have lived in more places and been exposed to more types of culture than 99% of the people in this country. I have seen racist white people and racist black people living all over this world. I have met white people that "act" blacker than some black people I know and some black people that are "whiter" than my grandma. There will always be those that are racist. One last point on this before I move on. Why did 90%+ of all blacks vote for Obama? Why are white people afraid to answer that question? I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you were to take the Presidential candidate's names OFF the ballot, and instead list only their VALUES, that no where near 90% of blacks would have voted for Obama.
Ok. Moving on. I am no racist. Not at all. But I am not afraid to talk about race. To some, the fact that I am white and make it a point to clarify that I am not a racist, and that I am willing to talk about race, makes me a racist. Again, let's all write down our values on a piece of paper and take away the skin color and the names. That is TRUTH. Embrace it.
Here is my opinion on the current race card being played. I am an activist. I am personally, actively involved with rallies, protests, and movements in this country. I witness events personally. I then watch the liberal media distort these events to fit their radical agenda. They go out of their way to create lies in an attempt to protect the man they want to push their liberal desires. They make claims that anyone disagreeing with Obama's policies is a racist. White poeple are leading the way in this movement, by the way. Carter is a big name that has joined this approach, but is hardly the biggest offender.
Our country has a long history of harshly critiqueing politicians, especially our President. Yet now that we are questioning this liberal President, who happens to be balck, we are being labeled as racists. Using that same logic, why wasn't the critiqueing of the prior 43 Presidents considered racist? Why were we "allowed" to call Bush a liar, but not Obama? Why were people allowed to protest against Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Carter, Reagan, Nixon and every other President we have ever had ------ and, in ALL of those cases have the media cover it as NEWS; but now those same "news" channels claim racist motives every time a white person challenges this President? Challenging politicians is an American Pasttime. Attempting to make this a racial issue is racist in itself, yes; but worse, it is a LIE. It is UN-American. Worst of all, it is going un-checked because so many are afraid to confront their accusers out of fear that they will personally be labeled a racist.
