Michelle Bachman to throw hat in ring for 2012 Presidential campaign. What about her and Palin together?
What do you think? Pitfalls? Promise? Angles? Like? Dislike? Fear? Excites?

Super-Women 2012 Ticket?!
Weigh in on this:
FRENCH BRING DOWN PLANE; NATO LEADS
Well, it is a difficult thing to swallow, but a potentially constructive opportunity for America. What is this comment? What is the title about? As a federalist, patriotic military son, I have a deep rooted love and belief in America. She is who she is because of nearly 300 years of the birthing, formulating and enacting of the idea that Liberty is for all, Government should be limited and because of this we can be strong. Thus, when the President bows to a foreign leader, talks trash on America or is absent in world politics and hyper-sensitive situations; frustration set in...heavily.
Naturally an article spotlighting the French tends to make my blood ... at least heat up... Further, to read a comment from Pres. Sec. Gates making us look like we (even a world collective, with us "at the helm") do not have it all together...oh, ok, now my blood begins to boil. Here is the comment:
"[T]his command and control business is complicated. We haven't done something like this, kind of on the fly before. And so it's not surprising to me that it would take a few days to get it all sorted out."
Yes, the French shooting a plane down and not our boys does create frustration. However, in consideration of the event...maybe it is not all that bad for another country, especially one not known for military prowess, to step out and "man up." Having a list of countries supporting the no-fly is good too.
But what is the over-arching plan here? Is this simply an "oil-thing?" If so, Mr. President, why not give your speech to America that you delivered in Venezuela! Seriously! Why can they drill, deposit an "oil container" in the gulf...and not us? We are the most environmentally conscience country out there by the very nature of how we protect land, but we are burdened with EPA regulation and contraptions that hinder growth! Why should a country like Venezuela be energy independent and not the US? This is crazy. Mr. President you are so out of touch, so manipulated by forces you may not even know - and are acting in a damaging way.
Conclusion: Mr. President, you need a plan. Listen to some of the common sense right, logical right, level-headed right. Not the Rhinos, but true American conservative, fiscally responsible, small government individuals. Act within the limits and guide of the Constitution of the United States of America. Be bold. Be confident.

AMERICA AT WAR...AGAIN!
WE ARE AT WAR WITH LIBYA!
Johnny come lately...but, I just cannot stand the news anymore. It's like, why try? Why type? Why think? The American Media, President and world have gone crazy!
Obama sent America to war WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL!!! Quote out of Washington Times: "By bowing to the will of the U.N. Security Council, President Obama is diluting the sovereign power of the United States."
Do you really understand what this means? I don't think we do! Article I, Section 8 of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION (Geesh, do we even care about this anymore!) says that the Congress has the right to declare and raise the funds. The rules of the executive branch are there too!
WHY? Please allow ALEXANDER HAMILTON to answer that: In Federalist No. 69, Alexander Hamilton clearly stated that the President must give deference to Congress in times of peace and in times of war (as quoted from associatedcontent).
"The President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and the navy of the United States. In this respect, his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces.; while that of the British king extends to the declaring of war and to the raising and regulating of fleets and armies - all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature." (Hamilton, 1768).
Or how about the WISDOM of JAMES MADISON (argh!!! Where are our leaders today!): "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department... [T]he temptation would be too great for any one man." (Edwards & Skaggs, 2008).
Several have tweeted about this and in this FOXNation article, there are quotes. Fortuately, even Politico and Libs are incredulous - the word "impeachment" is in the first paragraph of the article! Bottom line: Bush went through a RIGOROUS process on the decision of War. Congress wanted to "crucify" (to use the term out there) him on the deal. Just use your freakin' brain and google it - Bush was totally battered on his WAR decision! Yet, the media is wrong on their delineation of the war and "behind" Obama! The Washington Times has an excellent article! READ it!
This is ridiculous! I may be for what is going on...and Reagan should have dealt more severely with Gadhafi in the 80's, but dab-gummit, our "President" has no clue what he is doing, has no plan, usurped the power given him and totally dodged the American People! Further, he is giving us up to the Powers of the UN! And he stated yesterday, (heard him personal say this on the radio) "Allied forces will be taking the lead." What? And the Israeli News system is the first article that Google pulls up! The first page of Google does not even have a mainstream media report on this!!!!
We have a plane shot down already...uh, excuse me, "techical problems" brought it down... What is to be had of this? See next article...
People...do we care? Or shall we just bend over...or bow?

TSUNAMI STRIKE - CALL TO PRAYER
This Tsunami will go down as indescribable....though there are already massive tweets, videos and talk regarding experiences. We have to realize the call to pray. The stress of Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan is going to be huge. Hawaii's Governor, Linda Lingle, is going to have a long haul and the President of the United States - historically, a stalwart pillar of support to the world, will be called upon again. Pray he will show a resolute and strong America, willing to give and serve others. We must pray for these leaders. Any aspect of their lives, whatever comes to mind, pray. Think of your worst case scenario for the world you live in and the responsibilities you have...multiply immeasurably, and imagine the prayer support needed.

Who Pays for Three Week Shutdown in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin...a very costly three weeks.
Well, here goes it all...in our sound bite and word driven media war, with the goal to influence public opinion and future voting booths, it is difficult to understand what has just gone down. Last night the Republican controlled senate voted without their Democrat peers. One lone Republican voted against the measures. But the budget of Wisconsin may now get back to repairing and fixing itself. Maybe.
But follow me on something that you have not heard anywhere - at least, I don't recall hearing it. Mind you this is simply math and not exact. It is just to prove a point and is the result of about 10 minutes of work.
Here's the deal: For three weeks the Democrats did not come to work. Let's say that they each earn $50,000 plus benefits (probably more as this report is two years old). As a side note they receive on average, depending on temporary residence $66/day per diem, travel expenses, office expenses, health care (equal to state employee) and retirement benefits (with 2.6% employee/8.1% employer contribution as of 2005). That quickly works out to $4166.66 per month, plus extras.
The Democrats have been out of work and vacationing in Illinois for three weeks. That equates to $12,500 in salary for each member. A Per Diem of $66/day would equal $1386 per member. Office expense is $3-10K per member, based on district size as of 2009. Travel expenses might be up to $3,000 per month, depending on district. Let's just focus on the salary, per diem and retirement (8.1% 2005 report), which is about $1012.5 per member for a three week period based on $50K yearly salary in simple 12 month division.
So, for three weeks the basic salary and health care cost of these AWOL elected professionals is $208,579.
Each day they are out of the office living it up in Illinios, they cost the state of WI $9932.33.
This does not include the cost of the many teachers who have walked out for any given number of days. Where this is complicated is "how many are bussed in from even other states?" So, this is hard to add to the scenario...but is no less present and a strain on the state budget. Further, at who's cost are those bussed in persons?
How many of you can walk off your job for three weeks - in essence stating "I don't agree with you Mr. Employer, so I'm out of here...but, you can't fire me. I'll be back sometime."?? Or, feel comfortable calling in six, yet showing up on the 6 o'clock news?
It was WAY passed the time to act legistlatively. Three cheers for the Republicans! Click that hyper link and you will find plenty of very research documentations!
PS. If the budget shortfall is 1.37 million, then the real cost of all the state legistlator and teachers being AWOL for three weeks would (likely/nearly) account for the .37 million easily. FURTHER....can one not argue that the salaries of the Republicans, staff, and Governor may at least partially be applied to this "shut down" of the WI budget? At that point, these three weeks have been very costly!
Now...how is this factoring in nationally?

Obama's Tax by Regulation
Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma posted "Get the Facts" this morning. It is a good read- click here.
People like Earth Justice need to be stopped with truth. Further, Obama cannot continue to back door taxes as he has done in Oklahoma. The news last night warned of 20% increase in energy because coal burning plants in NE are leaving haze in SW over Wichita Mtns. These plants have to correct production to meet New EPA Regs or face hefty penalties. The changes cost a couple billion.
What business in their right mind loves their customers so much as to pay this out of their profits? Why would anyone in right mind even think this preposterous thought? Business by definition, is to make profits...right?
So, this rightfully should be passed on to customers. Thus, 20% increase. That is a backdoor tax - like gas at the pumps, and it hits us all the same: the pocket book.
Question is not "who pays?", but rather "why is this being forced?". Because Obama is being stifled publicly. Just as he overstepped boundaries on Marriage and Family Act, he is making tax law through EPA regulations. See this article with an insert from The Politico.
If you aren't paying attention, doing a bit of hunting on your own and not shutting other avenues of information out - you'd think the conservative march was a witch hunt.
Obama is taking the ground work laid in years past to radically "change" America. Is this really what you voted for....
(Obama would be good to shoot for new refineries, nuclear plants, clean coal, etc - allow alternative energy to be researched and tested in the mean time. Even offer a million dollar reward to real alternative technology - the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf are jokes!)

Oil Frustration
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. Well, there's a very simple answer.
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn't know we were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical.
Our OIL is located in:
ALASKA, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas,Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Our dipsticks are located in DC.
Pretty sure there are no questions.
I would simply add: when you rely on a theif to fill your tank...you're gonna get robbed....
- gleened from an email recently received. I looked for the cartoon of Garfiled that did not open in my email, and found this link for the "original post."

Seekers of Truth
You may be able to name the movies just as I can. Paranormal, The Cell, Sixth Sense, Tron...the list is long. Religiously themed movies are even longer. Poets, painters, musicians...many have written and given the spirit world great place in culture & society. Science and math even attempt to solve problems in this world for both regard to and against the possibility of religion. Worlds have risen and fallen around piety, superiority of faiths, mis-truths and truths.
Psalms 84:2 - "My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord, my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God;"
Is it not interesting that ages ago, David wrote these words through inspiration of the Holy Spirit and penned for all time the eternal truth that our very hearts, our soul, our eternal spirit seeks the connection and relationship of Truth. The very breath of God in us giving us life. It is a truth of scripture that is stated contextually many times, by various writers, in different lands.
God put into our beings the very desire to know Him. Adam and Eve knew God, walked with Him, ate with Hm. They were instructed to abstain from one thing and they failed. Sin and death entered the world - neither existed prior to their choice. But the desire to know and be with their creator never ceased. Man often failed, to the point that God flooded the earth. Because of the choice to follow or not follow the desire of God in their hearts, God started over with Noah and his family. Man soon walked from God again, and began to seek the power of their own hands, created the Tower of Babel and God destroyed it and mixed up language. These are not stories. The time of kings, prophets and judges proclaimed the coming Messiah, the One foreshadowed in the sacrifice of the lamb to cover Adam and Eve's nakedness. Prophecy after prophecy fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah. Jesus, the Messiah, walked the earth, lived as one of us, was sinless, loved, healed. He sacrificed Himself to cover the sins of the world.
If Truth is not to be known, why do we show evidence of seeking truth in so much of our lives. What about popularity, drugs, family, friendship, religion, occupation, sex, alcohol, superiority... These are false truths. These are paths to us becoming god's ourselves. We seek these, often achieve them and evidence ourselves as gods. Pushing the True God further away.
Recently, our family watched The Last Airbender. My son had heard it was a flop movie. Maybe so, some of the acting was poor. But there are so many correlations to the spirit world of many religions. In this world, specifically, the mystic religions. Tangently, environmentalist and new agers.
I thought the theme of "responsibility" through the last Water Bender and her brother was powerful. This was a lesson they passed on to Um (spelling). The fire nation was obviously exemplified as the person that has decided there is no need for God, that they are now god themselves. The fire nation commander kills the Moon Spirit (god) and says "we are now gods". This is what Adam and Eve did. They had the choice to kill the" fish."
The Water Princess...incredulously...says "There is no Love without Sacrifice." (I placed the capitals - as I believe they are necessary for emphasis on more than "I love pizza!") She even goes so far to say "Is is my choice to lay down my life (paraphrase)?" That is powerful stuff. She sacrificed for the many - another corrolation.
While The Last Airbender is not biblically based by any means, it has the truth of spirituality that is a part of every human regardless of their technical, physical, intellectual, industrial, political or otherwise - prowess.
Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that one lay down his life for his friend." After a night of intense wrestling Jesus "took of the cup" presented Him by His Father. He then eventually, laid down his life for you and for me. It is not Chi, not Benders, Buddha, Muhammad, John Smith. Not of yin, or yang. Not about Karma or reincarnation. No...it is simply this:
That void in your heart that you are filling with everything under the sun...Jesus Christ is all that will fill it. The way you understand this is that you are finite and sinful, even in your goodness. You need the covering of Jesus' Sacrificial gift of Life for you. You accept gifts, recognize the Truth of God in Jesus and allow him to live through you.

Hillary Stabs American Media
Folks...I'm serious, we must all wake up! More than Tea Party wake up - we must really become active politically. Tragically, I'd say this even to those I disagree with. That said, Hillary Clinton has said that our commercial media stinks. Essentially, that is what she said. In detail, she says said we only get commercials and talking heads not information.
Now, I can barely stomach local free news, I can tolerate CNN; I have no love lost for MSN and equally mindless news. BUT! That does not mean that our country is based on the principle to speak your mind. Further, the 1st Amendment was a huge deal for the Founders! They were represses in the old world, they believed true and informative release of new and info meant the people could know what is going on.
Please read this article by ABC reporting....is that not weak ABC News reporting!!! Where is the outrage!? Why is the article only about what she said? Nothing about 1st Amendment! Nothing to support commercials and promotion of product consumption? Nothing to dispute! Crazy!
It doesn't stop there! Huffington Post (left lean), National Review, Business Insider...nothing but recapping the Clinton perspective. Worse, the comments are only in support of her or have been "flagged offensive."
DONT GO FOR IT!
Al jazeera is anti-America, un-American, foreign reporting! It is not our news! It is not our perspective - EVEN IF "OUR PERSPECTIVE" WERE MSNBC VIEW!!
PEOPLE we are about to loose the most amazing gift (not counting the indescrible Jesus) to the world: America! We must stop this! It may not have begun two years ago, but it has accelerated!

Al jazeera is anti-America, un-American, foreign reporting! It is not our news! It is not our perspective - EVEN IF "OUR PERSPECTIVE" WERE MSNBC VIEW!!
PEOPLE we are about to loose the most amazing gift (not counting the indescrible Jesus) to the world: America! We must stop this! It may not have begun two years ago, but it has accelerated!
