About the Boy Scouts & Gays in their Ranks
]
The people
doing the most "breeding" (rather than parenting) these days are men not making commitments to a
wife and kids --and the result is the violence of a Chicago. It is also the black youth who are the leading recipients of HIV/AIDS today --and their women are the 2nd most afflicted as new cases. We need a restoration of the family to role-model normalcy to youth --and a reformation of tv --and thus, culture. No more GLEE. TV is the main culprit in changing culture for the the worse --such that young people are shameless in their shacking up with either sex.

LIBERALS THINK MAN IS GOOD, SINS & ALL
Rant
of the Day: I was reading Time's man of the year issue on Obama
and saw all the teams of dems who helped his re-election--and it occured
to me that a big difference between the parties is the Liberals' belief
that mankind is essentially GOOD and IMPROVING, evidenced because they
elected Obama and are winning in their belief that it's good to approve
and encourage EVERYBODY'S lifestyle as a civil right --including the
transgenders, gays, polygamists, promiscuous, prostitutes, drug-users, porn-makers and addicts. This is seen as non-judgmental and
progressive--even "Christian."
Thinking that anything is a sin is "judgmental."
And yet, the Religious and the Religious Right, who follow the Judeo-Christian Bible, know that we are desperately wicked in our inclinations --we are a sinful people --and we need knowledge of "right" and "wrong" that we may know what needs to be repented and changed in our behaviors and thinking. "Judge not lest ye be so judged" does NOT mean "approve all behaviors, traditionally viewed as sins; say nothing against any behavior lest you be wrongfully judging."
About the only thing most of us agree on, both right and left, would be that saving the planet is good (but how? and R we responsible for weather and disaster by our SINS, in the hands of an angry God, or by our carbon footprint? or are variations just normal for Earth-life?)
"God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and have eternal life."--the Bible

We also agree that stopping gun
violence is good but don't agree on how this should be done. We agree
that helping the poor and elderly and ill is good. Pedophilia,
sex slavery, murder, theft, rape, etc. are still viewed as wrong. Yet,
we don't seem to be getting fewer of these behaviors..and we have way
too many poor because of their lifestyle choices and the legacy of THEIR
parents.
We don't seem equally bothered about cheating/adultery on the Left as on the Right because the biggest, unbowed, unrepentant presidential cheater of all (as far as we know) is still the darling of the Left --Bill Clinton. It's considered mean, hateful and disrespectful that I would even mention him in this negative context. I'm not stoning him --I'm just suggesting that Jesus be the hero for forgiving --and not the adulterers celebrated in spite of their selfish, unrepented acts.
The Left won't agree that abortion kills over a million people a year in a violent, painful procedure. They won't agree that Hollywood and TV are causing cultural erosion and should be reigned in before all the kids are debauched; that porn is a world-wide blight instead of a first amendment "right," that TV shows glorifying shallowness and nasty dog-eat-dog behavior (as in The Bachelor/bachelorette/survivor shows) , pregnant teens, overweight children with unmarried hillbilly parents (poor Honey Boo Boo), pre- and extra-marital sex, shacking up, foul language, nudity, polygamists, homosexual relations, transgendering, and brassieres should be discouraged by lack of sponsors.
Even Dr. Phil gets it wrong sometimes --encouraging "slutty dress" the other day as benign. Unwittingly setting up mothers and daughters against each other on the importance of dress and the message which dress really does convey. He called those who were wanting young women to dress respectfully and honorably "judges" of others. As mothers, do we not think there is a message conveyed by certain ways of dressing?? a message to men, in particular? a message that we ought not want to send? Should a good culture not TEACH its young right from wrong and encourage and celebrate the Right --instead of the wrong?
Democrats as Progressives? Not really! It's regression we observe in American culture today --led by the LEFT.

OPEN LETTER --WE SENT TO M/M OBAMA
The
letter below is what I sent to the Obamas from my husband and me. I
guess he did what I asked concerning taxes on the rich --starting at
$400,000 (or was it $450,000?) instead of $250,000 which would have meant increasing taxes on millions of
job-creating, small-business-people making less the uber rich--and yet well-off - like
the bourgeoise (the middle class and business class) of Russia when
Communists took over and pitted the proletariat (blue collar worker)
against the bourgeoise, taking over their businesses, houses and lands
for the state.)
November 9, 2012
President & First Lady of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President and Mrs. Obama:
We --and the Romney-supporters (half the country) really do want to
like you with your nice smile, great charisma and lovely family. We
want to be glad that you were re-elected. You can help us do that. We
don’t want to think you have communistic sympathies or a colonialist
view of the U.S. nor plans to disarm our country with promises to Putin.
You did say in your speech a few moments ago that the top 2
per cent of the nation make $250,000 or more and should be taxed more.
Those include mostly the lower end of that income, the small business
owners and various professionals --who live like “middle-class” --rather
than the super-rich of the top 1/2 per cent like yourself and the
ultimate uber rich like Romney and other million dollar -plus a year
people. Those making high 5 figures, and 6 figures up to $250,000 are
Marx's bourgeois --the middle class educated conservatives whom
Communists destroyed. According to 2009 and Tax Payers Union, it was
$344,000 that the top 1 per cent make. There aren’t very many
uber-rich who make millions like Romney, Hollywood celebs, uni coaches
and presidents and CEO's of big corporations --not enough of them to
slow the deficit if you keep adding more people to the poverty rolls,
approving pork and new billion dollar spending packages and sending
tons of money to other nations' corrupt governments.
Please
surprise the half of the country that supported Romney. We are scared
to death of your agenda --what we perceive it to be--and the radical
influences in your past. Please prove us wrong. Show that you can cut
programs for which we should not borrow from China. We know --that
means lost public sector jobs --but if China is paying them, they have
to go. If they are valuable employees in a department we don’t really
need, they will find work elsewhere in a more prosperous private sector
--i.e. more prosperous if you don't tax them down.
We suggest
you not raise taxes EXCEPT SLIGHTLY on the uber rich -- the top 1/2 per
cent. You still want them to be inclined to invest, hire, spend and
give. Learn from business people who know how to succeed at business
and know how taxes impact growth. The Government needs way too much
revenue because of the horrible level of spending. Let Big Bird support
Public Broadcasting. He can do it. They can sell muppets. As for
Public Radio, put Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion on every day
and we’ll send them a donation. PBS is not neutral enough politically
that they should deserve tax-payer support. They speak in their
measured, neutral, unemotional tones --leaning WAY to the left --as far
left as Fox News speaks excitedly with no pretense of neutrality, to the
right. But Fox raises their own money. So can NPR. (Note: “fair and
balanced” doesn’t mean neutral. Gov’t stations should be neutral.)
Planned Parenthood shouldn't get public funding if pro-life Pregnancy
Centers and clinics don't. The poor women will still get healthcare
using their medicaid cards and the public health clinics.
You
must move toward the center if you would meet the Republicans half way
and end the supposed gridlock. Your determination should be NO NEW
SPENDING --and the elimination of all non-essential spending and
departments that don’t directly impact the needy or the elderly or the
ill. Send the education of the nation back to the locals. Shut down
the federal department of education. Send the school breakfast program
to the churches. Promote volunteer tutoring by the elderly in every
public school. Note that Christian and parochial and home schools
educate best on way less money.
And for goodness sakes,
PLEASE deliver to the nation’s youth Santorum’s message from your bully
pulpit. The 3things to do to avoid poverty: “Finish high school; get a
job; get married before having children--( and stay married if possible.
Stay faithful. ) If you do even the first 3 things on this list, 98%
of you will be above poverty line; 77% will be above average in income.”
There really is a correlation between family stability and morality and
the strength of communities and nations. You are for gay marriage, but
ought not be, because children deserve a mother and father when
possible. Gay marriage deprives them of one or the other by its very
nature. Nor should gays share quarters with straights (or with each
other) in military. It’s like putting men and women together in showers
and barracks--completely distracting to the mission of military
preparedness. Homosexuality does spread --from the experienced to the
inexperienced, and like drugs, becomes addictive. No evidence yet that
we are born homosexual. U. of Texas published a 2012 study that said
the adult children of homosexual parent are among the most miserable and
dysfunctional of all young adults.
Please be better than
conservatives expect. Seriously try to understand the logic and reason
behind conservatism and their criticism of your party and policies.
Communism hasn’t been appreciated anywhere where it is tried. Socialism
leads to the fiscal cliff --sliding like Greece--and you’ve got us on
the edge. Surprise us --and do not push us over. Don’t tax us highly
now or you will kill business and jobs. People are thinking of moving
out of country for fear you will rob them of their pensions --either
through confiscation of high taxes or bad economy, inflation, devaluing
of the dollar, etc.
We are afraid of having our lives
shortened by your Canada-style health care program. Let someone tweak
that program! We don't want the long waits and rationing of Canadian
healthcare! Canadians come HERE for procedures they can't get in a
timely manner in Canada. Start with TORT REFORM. Doctors and insurance
companies settle out of court for 100,000 rather than go to trial and
risk jury’s compassion for miserable patients suing for a million
dollars. Doctors rightly fear that the jury will consider only the
patient’s misery, thinking it will cost no one if the insurance company
pays the patient without proving malpractice. In fact, the costs of
such suits and mal-practice insurance are a big cost in healthcare.
As for national security and disarming Americans, we hope you are just
the fun-loving, congenial and kindly public servant, Barack Obama from
Hawaii --and not a Stalin or Hitler in the making who was mentored by
Communists and other radicals, as some suspect.
Seek good
successful businessmen’s advice and not just socialists’ advice. They
have never made any nation solvent. Put Romney on your cabinet! Because
he does like to solve financial problems. Wow! That would be a
uniting act. Listen to Ryan, too. We are in a mess. Let them try to
help!
We shall pray for you
daily--that you really ARE a Christian as you told Rick Warren --or
will become one and that you will seek God’s guidance on all matters
before you --not Marx’s advice, nor Alinsky’s, nor Ayers, nor Davis’s.
Only Jesus rose from the grave. He is the only one worthy to save us
for Eternity. Atheists can’t give you wise guidance like the Holy
Spirit and the Word of God can. Your stands on abortion and
homosexuality --and lukewarm relationship with Israel, are all 3 in
contradiction to His Word and His Spirit and need to be reconsidered if
the nation would be blessed. Separation of church and state doesn't
mean God is not real --and has no say in the country's values which
shape national culture and character.
Forgive us for any misjudgment of your character and intentions, and prove all the naysayers wrong.
Sincerely --wanting to admire you--
wanting your term to be successful
in the eyes of God and informed Americans,
Dr. & Mrs._______________

UPS ABANDONS THE BOY SCOUTS TODAY!
UPS announced today that they won't sponsor Boy Scouts of America because of their discrimination against homosexuals as members and scoutmasters.
Parents and Grandparents: Do you really think it will be ok to have the gay scoutmaster in the tent with your good looking 17 year old son? Would you have a man in a tent with the girls?
The Boy Scouts would never bully or identify a boy as homosexual and keep him out because of his non-macho appearance, mannerisms, or interests --but only if he self-identified as homosexual. If he identifies as homosexual, that justifies, in his mind, his crushes on, and pursuits of, other boys in the organization.
We need to regard the biological realities of libido (sex drive), orientation, opportunity, attraction and temptation. Young people can have gender identity confusion and orientation flexibility because of early sexual experiences --not to mention the potential for STD's.
Corporate America needs to find a new cause celebre --how about Santorum's Big 3: tell the youth the truth: If you
Graduate h.s.
Get a job
Wait until marriage for sex and babies,
98% of you will not be on gov't payroll and 77% of you will make an above average income.
Now there's a good ad campaign!
Meanwhile, write to:

Letter to Liberal Christian - Part 2 (who pays the income tax?)
How do you determine the fair share of taxes? Right now --take 100 people paying a total of $100 in income tax. The top man pays $37. The next 4 join him, paying $22 or 4.50 each. That brings the total paid by the top 5 people to $59. So the top 5 percent pay 59% of all the federal income tax. Now the next 5 guys pay $11 or over $2 a piece on average. That means the top 10 people (10 per cent) are paying $70 or 70 per cent of all the tax. Now the next 15 guys pay $17 between them, an average of a little over $1 a piece --so that's 25 guys (25%) paying $87 or 87% of all the federal income tax. Now the next 25 guys pay $11 or an average of $.44 a piece. And 98% of the tax has been covered by the top 50 guys. The bottom 50% pay $2.25 total out of the $100. That's 4 !/2 cents a piece on average --and most of these pay nothing --and get an Earned Income Tax Credit if they work.
So I think it behooves the bottom 50% to be more grateful than resentful to the top 1%, 5% and 50% who pay ALL the federal tax for them --and live off of it. The shame is that we spent the senior citizens S.S. instead of saving and investing it profitably --and thus we use Social security payments for various pork projects and the new obamacare.
So I think it behooves the bottom 50% to be more grateful than resentful to the top 1%, 5% and 50% who pay ALL the federal tax for them --and live off of it. The shame is that we spent the senior citizens S.S. instead of saving and investing it profitably --and thus we use Social security payments for various pork projects and the new obamacare.
So is it fair, that the richest 1 per cent pay 37 percent of all
the federal income tax? All we heard from democrats was how the top 1% weren’t
paying their fair share. Because “they didn’t build that.” Obama
goes on to explain that the GOV’T made it possible for the rich to be rich
(true for him) –but who made it possible for the gov’t to have money to
do anything??? The taxpayers –NOT THE GOV’T. ! In fact,
the gov’t is the entity at fault for letting their programs and people run
amok. They have failed to support waiting for marriage –as being a religious
notion. They have encouraged, via sex ed, homosexuality. And
Obama’s adm. encourages gay marriage by not defending federal DOMA. And
they said it was just fine for homosexuals to share barracks and bathrooms with
people to whom they are sexually attracted in the military. They
won’t restrain tv at all or liberal sex ed which teaches our kids that
“everybody does it” and “responsibility is a condom” and “gay sex is
fine.” Right now, it’s the Obama adm. that has told schools to leave
morals out of the sex ed program or lose funding. (But really, who
needs funding to teach sex ed? You need moral teachers and parents
and churches to do that –and the message is FREE.)
I think Christians can debate these issues without being
insulting –but I find that the LEFT-thinkers don’t know how to do this without
being insulting –making it personal. Remember –like when you said I
probably never worked, never had to do anything because I married
wealth. I think I explained to you then that I married a poor boy and
never knew wealth –until after we’d been married with children a few
years. And if anyone deserves financial comfort, my husband does.
I might not, but he does. And I’m “entitled” to his living because we are a unit
with separate roles –the Bible says so. He’s the hardest working
guy you’ll ever meet –and loves to give when he can. But would he work as
hard as he does if he were told he could make just as much money doing
something much easier that didn’t require him to work so hard ? Do you
believe that everyone in healthcare should make the same money as the MD who
took 11 to 15 years post high school of hard study and work and testing?
And still has to study difficult stuff and be tested every 7 years
or so for recertification. In Canada, the doctor makes so
much for so many hours, according to the gov’t. And he quits after
that. Thus, the rationing and delays in services. Here, if
the dr. works his fanny off, he can do better than if he just puts in 40
hours. You can say that doctors should do what they do just to help
people –and because they love their work –but you know that people aren’t all
that NICE to work for –and that it’s no fun to be threatened with lawsuits –and
have people complain if your office runs late or if their illness doesn’t get
better. A doctor is a servant –and so far, he is well paid as a
compensation for the misery and difficulty of becoming one and remaining
one. Few men want to sit with a 3 foot stack of charts and tests to
survey every weekend all the way until Sunday midnight. Few want to be tested
every 7 years like doctors --to maintain their ability to work. It is
great stress on my husband to prepare and take those tests. And few want
malpractice lawyers chasing them in order to make THEIR living by out-of-court
settlements for nuisance suits that would cost more in risk and time for the doctor to fight.
There are many poor people –even on gov’t payroll –who vote
Republican –for the moral principles, the religious freedom and religious moral
values and the belief in free enterprise being a rising tide that floats the most boats. The unis are teaching our kids --and the party teaches the
public -- that the Republicans are all the rich people who care nothing about
the poor –who won’t help the poor. Now, THAT’S a mis judgment.
And it was the over-arching lie of the Democratic campaign. The 47%
tape didn’t help—but Mitt was right about it. He wouldn’t get
the votes of those who paid no taxes –in most cases. He actually did
–because a lot of elderly (who paid into the system and may still pay taxes)
and poor DID vote for him –but the masses of people on gov’t checks
other than social security–those people weren’t going to vote for Romney
–so he was challenging donors to give to him because he would work to keep
taxes down, in spite of those who live off the labors of the
taxpayers, not paying taxes themselves. He probably was appealing to
those who resent working for their incomes while others live off of their
work. It’s not right, to the extent that it has gone in this
country. We have way too many men shirking work because they don’t want
to pay child support. This is NOT an indictment of the truly poor who
WANT to work and can’t find work or those who can NOT work for whatever
reasons. It’s less an indictment of the single mothers than it is of the men
who never married them and didn’t want to pay support so wouldn’t take a real
job that could be garnished.
Some children riding on a church bus with me don’t read politics –but
they watch tv commercials. They insisted to me on the bus, after gloating
about the Obama victory, that Mitt Romney would’ve taken away all food stamps
and welfare. I said, “No, he wouldn’t have. He just wants
more people to have good jobs so they won’t have to be on welfare and food
stamps.” They were sure I was wrong. They saw the
commercials. The public had the mentality of 12 year olds and
believed the lie that Romney wanted to kick everybody off entitlement
programs. I know a mother and son who voted for Obama because they are on
entitlements and thought Romney would take them away. They
hated voting for gay marriage and abortion, but it was more important to vote
for their checks –even though their checks weren’t being
threatened. I want her son to find a good job. I
want MY son to find a good job. It’s not going to happen with this
president increasing business costs through Obamacare, I’m afraid.
But I’ll be delighted if the next four years are great –and you
can then say in 2016 “I told you so!” I
do not want this president to fail. But I do think Christians need to
wake up –over the things he’s done so far –including his forcing the Catholic
institutions and religious colleges to provide birth control and abortifacients
–even for unmarried college students who aren’t supposed to be having sex,
according to our Christian beliefs. It’s unbelievable the way Sandra
Fluke got to speak at the convention about women’s health care –meaning
Catholic Georgetown U. should provide birth control for their
students. It seems absolutely CRAZY to me that fornicating students
expect their colleges’ health insurance to put them on the pill!! WHAT
ARE WE and the DEMOCRATS THINKING??? Obama also
restored monies to overseas agencies to promote and provide abortions
–rescinding the Mexico City policy which prevented us spending money to
encourage or facilitate abortion overseas. WE ARE BORROWING FROM CHINA TO
ENCOURAGE ABORTION? Let them do that –they are the ones who believe in it
to the extreme.
Another example of an immoral culture –I saw an engagement
announcement of 2 young people –which said they were living together at such
and such a place –enjoying life with their dog –or something like that.
We didn’t use to announce that we were shacking up and unmarried –as though it
were OK. But that’s the change that Hollywood has wrought –and the church
hasn’t prevailed against this culture-corruption being taught by
the media –and public ed’s value-neutral sex ed. There is no longer
any shame for our immorality. I would tell my kids that there would be NO wedding money if they moved in before the wedding.
As a Christian, you need to ponder the fact that it is
not the
conservatives who are shutting down the Christian groups on college
campuses
–or removing them from the list of acceptable student associations; they
didn’t try to forbid manger scenes, Ten Commandment plaques, and
prayer and Christmas
music to on public school campuses and public places.
The liberals do that. The conservatives oppose abortion generally
(though most would allow in the law the choice for rape, incest, life of
mother);
they define marriage the way the Bible does –by God’s creation of male
and
female for parenting. They know that greed isn’t good for the rich when
they are selfish—nor for the poor when they are eaten up with envy, and
desire
to have wealth redistributed to them without earning it as though they
are
entitled to the fruits of others’ labor. These people will hit the
streets in rage if inflation eats up their checks –and the checks no
longer
come in the mail –if we are economically like Greece –no more money and
no more borrowing power. Then what happens? Riots in the streets –
crime as at Occupy Wall St.--like the Watts riots which you are probably
too
young to remember? And the looting –and the irrational, hyper-emotional,
conduct of ignorant people whose schools were lousy because the barely
parented
entitlement kids acted like fools all their lives in the classroom (or
truant at home)–and Obama will declare martial law –and if he IS a
communist, he’ll tell me that my house is no longer mine but the
state’s.
And we shall all be redistributed! We don’t think it could
happen here, but those nations where it happened in my lifetime didn’t
expect
what they got either. I hope Barack is too lazy and self-indulgent to
share any of his father’s dreams against the “imperialist west” –or in
favor of communism like his spiritual father, Communist
poet-pornographer Frank
Marshall Davis. If we do go over the fiscal cliff with him,
it will be a scary ride!
Peace, my liberal friend. And tell me again where my
thinking isn’t right –but don’t tell me I just don’t understand the plight of
the poor. I do. That’s why I’m there for some people. But I
also know we wouldn’t have so many poor people if more of us did live by
Biblical standards of sexual morality –and if we could turn around our
youth culture with the Gospel –before it’s too late to save this nation as the
beacon of light it used to be to the world –despite its flaws.
The LEFT, is just the wrong direction. We need to go
RIGHT.
Letter to a Liberal Christian - Part 1
You think the Democratic party is the best. And
you are not alone among evangelicals who think that. However, it is
perplexing to understand how Christians could support the left.
Extreme left is Communist –depriving people of their freedoms, including
religious freedom, and the fruits of their labors –destroying individual
initiative and motivation to create by destroying the right to private
ownership and the initiative to increase one’s productivity and earnings.
Everything belongs to the State in a communistic nation. No freedom.
Atheistic. Constant surveillance by the KGB. Redistribution
of wealth occurred in Russia and in Cuba. In my lifetime.
China’s thing was to stop all the birthing—and now some of their
leaders realized they have way more boys than girls –and they still forcibly
sterilize and abort their women –and put Christians in jail –in China. North Korea is communistic and cruel to all.
A Paul Harvey radio speech http://holytube.de/gute-predigten/if-i-were-the-devil-paul-harvey-warning-for-a-nation/
shows that in the 60’s
--when I was in high school -- conservatives had the same fears we have today
that our liberal direction is diabolical, weakening us, leading to
socialism (mild communism) which leads to financial ruin. The 60’s
were the beginning of the hippie “free love” era : “make love, not war”
–and a rise in drug use encouraged even by liberal profs.
An issue back then was union abuse –the way they were
thuggish in their strikes and protected truant and undiligent workers, shoddy
products, bad teachers and always voted for democrats.
My
husband got a bad impression of all the auto workers wanting him to give them
endless sick excuses and to even get them on disability when they really
weren’t verifiably sick. His uncle was a union boss and often met with
mafia types. I early on, growing up, got the idea that the
Democratic party was the greater evil of the 2 parties.
I grew up reading politics in Time and Life magazines
–would read the letters to the editor, etc. IT was great education to
strain to understand grown-up writing.
My parents, (lower middle class) taught me that people should
take care of themselves, study in school to get ahead and be responsible for
their own kin—and not expect the gov’t to do it for them by taking from those
who work to give to those who don’t. Of course, we all DO
believe in charity and gov’t aid for those who cannot work, or cannot
find work. But when a family gets $600 a month or so on a food card, they
do not want to give that up! When they also get $700 at least per month
for being “depressed,” as single mothers, and have a health card –they
don’t want to give that up for a job that pays them no more than what
their gov’t is giving them to not work. Of course, entry-level jobs
pay less than gov’t would for a single mom and 4 kids –so it seems she is
better off to stay on welfare until she gets them grown—(and I want them to
have those checks and cards) but what happens? Her kids do the same thing
–and here come more babies into the house. And so we go back to Uncle Sam
and ask for more money. We have too many people in this
situation –and morals are the reason! And gov’t enables.
It is the breakdown of marriage –and the complete lack of marriage
today –that causes a lot of our poverty. It’s not the rich being too
tight-fisted. It’s not
the fault of husbands who are happy if their wives stay home. In
fact, more husbands today WANT their wives to work outside the home and
think they are lazy if they don’t. Many men in black culture think it’s
the wife’s duty to be the breadwinner with Uncle Sam –they just spread their
seed and drop in from house to house and think the women should give THEM
money. I know people.

General Petraeus's Confession --WHY was it public?
It seems there is something fishy about the timing of General Petraeus's confession. Did O's people MAKE him confess and resign, in hopes he wouldn't have to testify? Did they threaten him with worse problems regarding prosecution and pension, etc., if he didn't step down before Benghazi hits the fan? Was either P or O hoping to distract from any errors of theirs re: Benghazi? Why is it ok for Clinton to skirt around but not a general? Clinton was Commander in chief, after all! Not that adultery isn't serious betrayal and risky for CIA as well as presidents, making them both vulnerable to blackmail-based decisions. But why is it a step-down offense for a general but not for the Commander in Chief? Why wouldn't the general just protect his wife as well as himself from the shame --and just quietly make up with his wife if he could --or quietly resign. Why the public confession? He seems genuinely contrite, but methinks somebody got to him --and it has to do with Benghazi. I think O's people wanted him to resign and want to imply eventually that any error in Benghazi was P's fault due to his distractions in the moral arena. Maybe someone put a million in an off shore bank account for P. Yes, I'm just speculating --but I smell a rat here! The public disclosure makes no sense.

OPEN LETTER TO OBAMA
November 9, 2012
"God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and have eternal life."--the Bible
President of the United
States
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We --and the
Romney-supporters (half the country) really do want to like you with your nice smile and
great charisma and lovely family. We
want to be glad that you were re-elected. You can help us do that. We don’t want to think you have communistic sympathies
or a colonialist view of the U.S. nor plans to disarm our country with promises to
Putin.
You did say in your speech a few moments ago that the top 2? per cent of the nation make $250,000 or more and should be taxed more. Those include mostly small business owners and various professionals --rather than the super-rich of the top 1/2 per cent. These are Marx's bourgeois --the middle class conservatives whom Communists destroyed. According to 2009 and Tax Payers Union, it was $344,000 that the
top 1 per cent make. There aren’t very many uber-rich who make millions like Romney, Hollywood celebs, uni coaches and presidents and CEO's of big corporations --not enough
to slow the deficit if you keep approving pork and new billion dollar spending packages and
sending tons of money to other nations' corrupt governments.
Please surprise the half of
the country that supported Romney. We
are scared to death of your agenda --what we perceive it to be--and the radical
influences in your past. Please prove
us wrong. Show that you can cut programs
for which we should not borrow from China. We know --that means lost public sector jobs --but if China is paying them, they have
to go. If they are valuable employees
in a department we don’t really need, they will find work elsewhere in a more prosperous private sector --i.e. more prosperous if you don't tax them down.
We suggest you not raise
taxes EXCEPT SLIGHTLY on the uber rich -- the top 1/2 per cent. You still want them to be inclined to
invest, hire, spend and give. Learn from business people who know how to
succeed at business and know how taxes impact growth. The Government needs way too much revenue
because of the horrible level of spending.
Let Big Bird support Public Broadcasting. He can do it.
They can sell muppets. As for
Public Radio, put Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion on every day and we’ll
send them a donation. PBS
is not neutral enough politically that they should deserve tax-payer
support. They speak in their measured,
neutral, unemotional tones --leaning WAY to the left --as far left as Fox News speaks
excitedly with no pretense of neutrality, to the right. But Fox raises their own money. So can NPR.
(note: “fair and balanced” doesn’t mean neutral.)
Planned Parenthood shouldn't get public funding if pro-life Pregnancy Centers and clinics don't. The poor women will still get healthcare using their medicaid cards and the public health clinics.
Planned Parenthood shouldn't get public funding if pro-life Pregnancy Centers and clinics don't. The poor women will still get healthcare using their medicaid cards and the public health clinics.
You must move toward the
center if you would meet the Republicans half way and end the supposed
gridlock. Your determination should be
NO NEW SPENDING --and the elimination of all non-essential spending and
departments that don’t directly impact the needy or the elderly or the ill. Send the education of the nation back to the
locals. Shut down the federal department of education. Send the school breakfast program to the churches. Promote volunteer tutoring by the elderly in
every public school. Note that Christian and parochial and home schools educate best on way less money.
And for goodness sakes,
PLEASE deliver to the nation’s youth Santorum’s message from your bully pulpit.
The 3 things to do to avoid poverty: “Finish
high school; get a job; get married before having children--( and stay married
if possible. Stay faithful. ) If you do even the first 3 things on this
list, 98% of you will be above poverty line; 77% will be above average in
income.”
There really is a correlation
between family stability and morality and the strength of communities and
nations. You are for gay marriage, but
ought not be, because children deserve a mother and father when possible. Gay marriage deprives them of one or the
other by its very nature. Nor should
gays share quarters with straights (or with each other) in military. It’s like putting men and women together in
showers and barracks--completely distracting to the mission of military
preparedness. Homosexuality does spread
--from the experienced to the inexperienced, and like drugs, becomes addictive.
Please be better than
conservatives expect. Seriously see the
logic and reason behind conservatism and their criticism of your party and
policies. Communism hasn’t been
appreciated anywhere where it is tried. Socialism leads to the fiscal cliff --sliding like Greece--and you’ve got us on
the edge. Surprise us --and do not push us over.
Don’t tax us highly now or you will kill business and jobs. People are thinking of moving out of country
for fear you will rob them of their pensions --either through confiscation of
high taxes or bad economy, inflation, devaluing of the dollar, etc. We are afraid of having our lives shortened by your Canada-style health care program. Let someone tweak that program! We don't want the long waits and rationing of Canadian healthcare! Canadians come HERE for procedures they can't get in a timely manner in Canada.
As for national security and
disarming Americans, we hope you are just Barack Obama from Hawaii --and not a
Stalin in the making as some suspect.
Seek good successful
businessmen’s advice and not just socialists’ advice. They have never made any nation solvent.
Put Romney on your cabinet! Because
he does like to solve financial problems.
Wow!
That would be a uniting act.
Listen to Ryan, too. We are in a
mess. Let them try to help!
We shall pray for you
daily--that you really ARE a Christian as you told Rick Warren --or will become one
and that you will seek God’s guidance on all matters before you --not Marx’s
advice, nor Alinsky’s, nor Ayers, nor Davis’s. Only Jesus rose from the grave. He is the only one worthy to save us for
Eternity. Atheists can’t give you wise
guidance like the Holy Spirit and the Word of God can. Your stands on abortion and homosexuality --and lukewarm relationship with Israel, are all 3 in contradiction to His Word and His Spirit and need to be reconsidered. Separation of church and state doesn't mean God is not real --and has no say in the country's values which shape national culture and character.
Forgive us for any misjudgment of your character and
intentions, and prove all the naysayers wrong.
Sincerely --wanting to admire
you,
wanting your term to be
successful in the eyes of God and informed
Americans,
Thoughts: Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Psalm 33:12
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. Isaiah 5:20
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14
Generosity is to be voluntary, from the
heart, not confiscated by dictators for the envious.
