Its hard for me to believe that Harry Reid actually said that, but I have listened to the tape several times. He actually proclaimed himself the savior of the world. On October 21st he told MSNBC that he had saved the world from a world wide depression and its all on tape. He doesnt even acknowledge that the "supreme savior" Barak had anything to do with it. He did it all by himself, not even "The Great Nancy" helped.
This is the audacity that makes this administration so offensive to the voters. This is the audacity that will put this administration out on its ear.
This is a short post, but I just cant think of a thing to add to it!!!

Lets Make Wiretapping Easier?
It seems that the transparency that Obama was talking about, we misunderstood.
The administration is now going to try to get legislation through congress that will make it easier for them to wiretap into your life. They were not talking about transparency in both ways, but a one way mirror!!!
The argument is that its too hard to wiretap cell phones so we need more legislation to force AT&T and Verizon, etc, etc to make it easier for the government to listen in to your conversations. If they want to listen in to us, I don't think we should be told to make it easy. I think that is a violation of the protection that we have not to be forced to testify against ourselves.
So when touting transparency leading up to the election, they were not talking about letting you know what they were doing, they were talking about wanting it to be easier for them to look into your bedroom window to see what you were doing. Now I understand.
Next they will want me to video tape it and send them the tapes...so they can leak them to NPR...maybe...

Endowed by their Creator
Obama apparently is NOT a Christian. I have been giving him the benefit of the doubt until now. But three strikes and you are out. Now for the third time he has left God out of our Declaration of Independence. The first time, it might have been a mistake, even the second time, but three times and it is intentional.
Back on September 15 while speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute he quoted the Declaration of Independence and left out the phrase "They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights".
On the 23rd of September, just 8 days later, after his deletion of the phrase had been commented on in the news and, surely, brought to his attention, he did it again at a fund raiser in NY city.
Then he did it again a third time on Monday night at in Rockville, Md.
It is now obvious that this is a deliberate attempt to remove God from our nations founding. It can no longer be excused.
Mr. Obama is deliberately removing our Christian heritage from us.
If our rights come to us from God then they are unalienable. But, if they come to us from government then what government gives, government can take away.
We do not want to go down this road!!!!

Most Advertising Sucks
When I was in high school we were taught that the best advertising was the ad that made you want to identify with the person in the ad that was buying the product. That makes a lot of sense. If you identify with someone you want to act similarly. If they buy a product, you will be so inclined.
Today they seem to think that just isn't the way to do it. An ad for yogurt shows a man and his wife approaching a vendor with free yogurt. The man is an idiot and decides he isn't interested in the product because it might be good for him. But he is cajoled into trying it. Then with a mouth full of yogurt (that for some reason he cant swallow before talking) he says that he likes it. But yogurt is a soft easy to swallow product. Why couldn't the idiot swallow before talking? Personally, I will never buy that product. I couldn't identify with the idiot.
Another ad that is particularly offensive is the ad for a new kind of blood sugar tester. In the ad the woman that is trying it is so stupid that the announcer has to finish all her sentences for her. This is a new trend in advertising, having the announcer finish the sentences of the speaker. Am I going to identify with a person that cannot finish their own sentences? Of course not!
Then there is another recent development in advertising, "make the guy look like an idiot in front of his wife". While it may not be the PC thing to say, the money in most households is managed by the male. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but that happens to be the reality. Now does it make any sense to ridicule the guy that is in control of the purse strings? I don't think so.
Maybe I am in the minority, but if they want my dollar, they should use ads like the Dos XX ad with the "most admired man in the world" The guy that "once had an awkward moment just to see what it felt like." There is a guy I can identify with, and I don't even like beer! But I might try Dos XX if I keep seeing that ad.

Rats and Cannibalism
Recently we are hearing more and more about strange actions by supposedly crazed people. The recent beating to two gay men for no other reason than that they were gay. The ferocity of the attacks was animal like. Humans are supposed to be better than animals because they can think and make moral decisions. But more and more we are seeing people make decisions that can only be described as primal, without conscience.
A while back I was turning left and the person behind me, for some reason, felt that my slowing down was inconveniencing him. After turning the corner I pulled to the side to park. The irritated person followed me and got out of his car in a furry. He walked up to my car and kicked the rear fender so hard he actually dented it. As I drove away to avoid further confrontation I saw him in the rear view mirror hopping on one foot and holding his other foot that he apparently injured in the attack on my car.
Why are we seeing these aberrations of human conduct? Is the human race degenerating? Are we reversing the normal upward trend of evolution? Are we getting away from morals because we are getting away from God?
I think that the answer is probably none of the above. While I think that a reverence for God can help toward making moral decisions, and while I think my God will give me eternal life. I realize that there are other paths to moral decision making. There are beliefs in other gods than mine, which, while I believe they wont ensure eternal life, I accept that they also espouse moral lifestyles. So I don't think it is a move away from God that is causing the primitive behavior.
Many years ago a study was done with rats. The experiment was to study the effects of crowding on animals. They found that putting too many rats in a cage, even when they had adequate food for all, caused them to turn to cannibalism...apparently to cut down on the crowding.
Maybe we have too many people on this planet. Maybe we should once again explore space to find other habitable worlds, so we can spread this madness throughout the universe.

The Last TEA Party
Today just hours ago we finished "The Last TEA Party" This TEA Party was the 4th in a series that I have hosted in South Texas. The first was a year ago last April. Each has improved on the previous one. I billed this TEA Party as the "Last TEA Party" because as I said back in late July as we began planning for it, "If things turn around in November, we wont need to have any more TEA Parties, and if they don't turn around I will be on my way to Guatemala where I only have to deal with the Mafia. The Mafia is only motivated by money, but the Progressives want my money, and my soul. They want to subjugate me.
Since then I have changed. I have realized that the TEA Party movement is more than just a route to change in November. When the TEA Party movement started 18 months ago it was just a fringe element with no standing in the polls. It expanded and grew. As it grew it became a mirror in which we could see ourselves. What we saw was not good.
Twenty years ago, Ronald Regan left us with a viable, free, country with a soul. Over the following 20 rears we sold ourselves into slavery for a few gold coins. The countries soul disappeared. The mirror of the TEA Party movement looked back at us and we saw ourselves as prostitutes that had sold our bodies to the government for comfort and safety.
The TEA Party movement, as it grew into a movement of honestly concerned citizens, made a change in us. We realized our error and now we are coming back to our conservative principals. This change, this regeneration of conservatism, has made us even stronger as each day has gone by and we are now seeing that we can influence the flow of politics. This change came through an internal change in ourselves.
We have given our country back its soul as the TEA Party movement has given us the courage to stand on our own and refuse to be prostituted again. We have given our country a conscience. And conscience is that which gives one the ability to make moral decisions.
So I have changed in my attitude as to where the TEA Party movement goes after Nov 2nd. I realize now that if the TEA Party movement folds up its tents on November 3rd, we will leave the country without a conscience, without a soul, once again. We can never leave our country without a soul ever again. The TEA Party movement must go on forever. It must continue to keep the two political parties in check.
On November 3rd a cold chill will go up the backs of career politicians as they realize that the game has changed. And we, in the TEA Party movement, must hold their feet to the fire until that chill goes away.

Why are they suing Arizona?
The Columbia Daily Tribune of Columbia Mo. reports the following:
"JEFFERSON CITY (AP) — The number of illegal immigrants arrested by Missouri troopers has fallen significantly in the three years since the state began checking the residency status of everyone booked into jail.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol turned up an average of one illegal immigrant per day during the initial months after former Republican Gov. Matt Blunt ordered it to check the immigration status of everyone it incarcerated in August 2007, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
But the number of illegal immigrants found by those checks declined by more than 40 percent in 2008 and an additional 30 percent in 2009, according to the patrol records. It has leveled off at that lower rate this year.
Missouri’s gubernatorial directive was expanded to all police by a state law that took effect in August 2008"
Ok, now tell me again, why is Obama suing the state of Arizona????
