Vote NO on Cap & Trade!!

In case you haven't heard - the President is currently seeking to quickly (as in by today when it was barely released) push a Cap & Trade bill through (see below - the Waxman-Markey legislation). This isn't a small matter- it's HUGE. He is seeking to push it through before anyone has time to read it or go through it. No one knows much about it other than what few items they've been able to go through and that information alone is enough to call for a STOP to this bill. If the majority of people do not understand a bill that is being forced upon them - then it should be stopped immediately until the ramifications of it can be fully realized. the projection thus far of how much each family will be responsible for $4k/year in response to what this bill implements. That's for this bill alone, not for what we'll be responsible for with all of the other bills that have been and are being passed. President Obama is allowing NO time for people to go through this bill to make an informed decision because he knows it wouldn't pass (sound familiar? Stimulus, Government Owned GM, cabinet nominations, etc...). This bill is fraught with severely increased taxes due simply for the sake of funding more of the liberal agenda and 'green' power. This is energy madness all while almost 10% of all Americans are greatly suffering and afeared because they are unemployed and we are facing more unemployment yet still. How long can we supply the extended unemployment to these increasing numbers? Where are the stimulus jobs or job security in general that we were supposed to see because the Stimulus bill absolutely had to be passed through immediately for this purpose? How can we overlook or give the President a pass on a $700BILLION mistake? When asked about the stimulus he passed recently, he simply passed it off as not understanding the magnitude of the situation or being uninformed of the true gravity of the recession. The stimulus is just one thing that he has tried so far (literally his words paraphrased). If you go back and read his speeches immediately following his inauguration and when passing the enormous stimulus bill, he was certain that the bill had to be passed by a date or unemployment would pass 8% (it is now almost 10%). $700 Billion is not a mistake or just one thing to try. How many of these 'experiments' do we endure before we stop him in the name of total chaos and ruin? This isn't about our children's children paying off the debt from the stimulus anymore, this is about sending our country so far under that though we're bankrupt, at least we've funded the liberal agenda. This is really scary stuff. Next on his list is Nationalized Healthcare. You really need to hear what he has to say about that as well. No more undeserved surgeries, just keep with your painkillers (he literally said that). Please get involved. See the email below to easily contact your Congressman to let them know what YOU think and desire. I also recommend Glenn Beck's new book "Common Sense" based on Thomas Paines original "Common Sense". We can each make a difference and even get rid of the corruption in our politics- we must inform ourselves first.

LDS & Homosexuals Unite....against LDS

I recently heard about this on talk radio and was fairly disturbed by it initially, now however, after checking it out for myself, I have realized people are going to do what they are going to do - and, for the most part, they are entitled to it....as am I.

There is now a non-profit site called LDSApology.org whose premise is based upon 'healing' the damage that the LDS church has placed upon the shoulders of the homosexual community, esp. the homosexual LDS members. The site has initiated a petition that they plan to send to the church on the first anniversary of Prop 8 being passed in California... I normally would not check out anti-Mormon sites for many reasons, but this caught my ear because the site is founded and supported by current LDS members as well as non. What? Together they seek reparations from the Church. They seek vindication for perceived wrongs perpetrated against them and their loved ones. They seek a permanent change in church doctrine and to our strong foundation of principles.

In their own words, "We will deliver the Petition to Church Headquarters on the first anniversary of Proposition 8 being passed in California. By signing the Petition and spreading the word about it, you will be sending a message to the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that it is time for reconciliation. More importantly, you will be showing support for those who have been harmed by Church policies and practices because of their sexual orientation."

I'm not entirely sure what this 'reconciliation' is that they are calling for here. According to an article that was written in the Salt Lake Tribune, of course, "The petition, which had more than 240 signatures by Monday evening, invites both sides to be "open" to understanding, forgiveness and apology." Hereagain, I am unsure what lack of openness, understanding, forgiveness, and apology they are demanding...I mean requesting. It is a doctrine of our church that homosexuality is a sin, much like adultery and things of that nature (all things to be found in the Bible as well as in a myriad of other religions). I wonder if people who've committed adultery, committed murder, been lack in attendance or paying tithing, or have been ex-communicated for morality reasons (hetero as well as homo) will all band together now and demand that the church just drop requirements for worthy membership altogether and join hands with this 'diverse' group of people and sing Kumbaya. Goodness, why don't we all just lose all religion that we have in token to those who don't believe as we do, yet seek to force us to believe as they do...doesn't that make sense? The world would be a much better place then wouldn't it? No religion or morality to hinder anyone's decision-making processes or be contributing to a healthy society...wow, sign me up!

There are many things that this site states that seeks to justify and demands change and acceptance for all of the 'hurt' that has been done to them. Reparations all around - though that would never be enough either, even if they were deserved. This is supposed to be a nation of people who came together to fight for freedoms and rights, not against the freedom and rights of others. What is going on anymore, why does no one call it like they see it anymore??

We all GET TO HAVE choices to make in this life. If you feel like you are being unjustly discriminated against or want to pick and choose doctrine to follow, then you have the right to leave that religion and go to another. Or better yet, you can start your own. What you may not do, however, is seek to destroy the doctrine or teachings of another or demand reparations from it. It's called the freedom of rights. Glenn Beck is right on the money with his new book, "Common Sense" based on Thomas Paines original, "Common Sense" which was written to bring people back to reality when the country started to go 'south' and turn into the tyrannical societies that people had worked so hard to escape from. It changed the course of history and gave us the Constitution which has served us so well. We see it everyday now, where common sense is replaced by LOUD and angry demands, extremely self-serving government agendas and its corrupt politicians, and the like.

Good golly- this is bigger than demanding apologies from everyone who 'harms' our delicate sensitivities or giving apologies to the undeserving. This is about how our rights are being stripped away, in slippery slope mode, by people who can yell the loudest (or control mainstream media). It is quickly approaching the time when we can't just sit back and watch American Idol and expect others to keep society healthy for us. Actually that time has long since past. The time we are approaching is a time when action will be actively required from the majority who are still vastly Conservative and value still what our Founding Fathers did for us and know everything that we have been given has come from our Heavenly Father. This is a society for all, not for minorities who WILL boo hoo louder than the rest of us who are content to enjoy what we do have. Why do some always have to ruin it for all? Good grief.

Isn't it Ironic...don't ya think?

Just had to get a word in about Obie's most recent idocies (seriously, if Bush EVER did even 1/4 of the crazy things that Obie does, he'd have been impeached by the libs. before the first 100 days was up).

I just can't get over this most recent travesty of justice perpetuated yet again by The One (well, I really cannot fathom ANY of the choices HE has been making on our behalfs lately - from turning General Motors into Government Motors, letting it file B. now that we've already dished out millions to it and will continue to do so with a blank check though that defeats capitalism and ROBS other reputable car industries that can still stand on their own feet b/c of being responsible...ah, the injustice. Or how about picking and choosing who does and does not get to have Nuk's according to Obama despite the Nuclear Treaty signed at the UN? Nevertheless...I digress, oh so many issues and so little time left...for freedom, that is)/

So Baby-Killer Tiller gets popped by a crazy white man for making MILLIONS and gaining notoriety for being one of the few doctors to perform LATE-term abortions and Obie sends out a statement immediately declaring his outrage, sending FEDERAL MARSHALLS to guard the other abortion doctors/clinics (and yes, once again the Conservatives get the tab for this - getting blamed, of all things, for bringing this man to the spotlight for his 60k+ baby killing spree for people to take aim at him).

Same time, a man who was converted in prison to the Muslim religion takes it upon himself to start a religious killing rampage (though he did not get very far) and pops some recruits at a local Army recruiting station. He had more on his hit list, but as all of these jihadists are- he is an idiot and the plan never got past point A. It takes being bashed by Conservatives and a few days to stew by Obie to finally make a statement to say that he is "saddened" by the senseless murder of one of the recruits and hopes the other has a speedy recovery. Ah, touches your soul doesn't it? It wasn't senseless, it was planned and he was converted in prison - the VERY place the libs. are suggesting we send the Gitmo detainees. Is anyone connecting the dots here? It has been proven how many converts to the Muslim religion in prision at an astounding rate. What do these wonderful citizens to when we let them out? Hmm....go back to the beginning of this paragraph for an answer to that one. Has Obie sent anyone to guard the Military recruiting stations like he did for the Abortion Clinics? Um, no- that doesn't apparently compute in his world - and this in the wake of his most touching answer that the ones who matter the most to him are those who serve in our military and their families. Gotta protect the killing of innocent babies over military soldiers though - that's what life's all about isn't it, well, Obie's agenda anyhow.

I LOVE reading Michelle Malkin's blog for some comic relief to all of this as she combines facts with idiocy. Read here for more details and a good laugh: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/06/03/finally-obamas-limp-statement-on-the-jihadi-attack-in-arkansas/
