I have recently tweeted more one liner and thoughts than have been on my blog. That may or may not change. If you have frequented the page, I much appreciate it.
Arizona shootings happened and there was outrage against terminology about guns, crosshairs and anything else remotely "uncivil." Of course, this was all pointed to the conservative, right wing wackos that actually had that guy come out and do the shootings....yeah, right. We won't rehash, but the shooter was not conservative, nor right wing.
Since then, Obama has mouthed off as have so many others. Today, the news is still around the Hoffa speech this weekend. Hoffa was totally out of line. Or was he?
You see, over the ages analogies have been used in speeches left and right to emphasize points being made by the individual or the individual for the organization. In today's heavily politicized world where most everyone wears there feelings, faults and failures on their sleeve, this is difficult to stomach at times. Hoffa's case in point.
Then one adds a perceived family name and the connotations behind the name to the speech mix and you really have mental huddles to calculate and successfully navigate. I have attached two links to the speech and wish to note that regardless of alleged editing, the words were highly charged words.
Personally, Obama put himself on the left-wing extreme when he followed the speech without any condemnation or constructional correction in his speech. Google the speech and you will find that Obama supports and condones the words of Hoffa. This is troubling.
Troubling because politicians, talking heads and other leaders are making devils out of each other. Worse, we are threatening the 2nd Amendment against each other. Fact is, if you get right down to it there are several of the Bill of Rights that are being threatened as we speak. Where is this fact in modern media? Where is our true watchdog?
Fringe anything is going to be in trouble, and the whole group ostracized and worse! Case in point: Jews and Christians. For the most part, quiet, peaceful, loving people. Most never even consider the thought of boycotting a funeral or "crusading" around and killing people. Hasty generalizations such as these are troubling. One might consider this even with Muslims...Sharia Law is one aspect that muddies the water when it comes to those of the Islamic Faith, but I'd say many Muslims are peaceful too.
What do we do? We stick with our Constitution. We protect the identity of America through immigration laws. We regrow a backbone. Stand for something or fall for anything.
The truth of this speech: it is not the problem, it is a symptom of bigger things afoot to dislodge America from it's leadership and prominence. If we voted every career politician out and started over, that probably wouldn't be a bad thing.

So, This is What We Pay Congress To Do
House Minority Leader pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on and on…
Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?
This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary is about $179,000 per year).

Mark Of The Beast - Religious Hoax Or Biblical Fact
One of the great things about the Bible is that as time goes on it grows more and more in validity. History, archeology and science all stand as witnesses to the validity and truthfulness of the Bible. What about those prophecies of the Bible that have yet to come to pass? You know, the things like the Great Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast. Its teaching on the subjects, and actually believing in them, that earns many Christians the label of, "religious wacko" in today's society. However, the Bible has stood the test of time and as our world discovers the things recorded in the scriptures that came to pass we should also be mindful of the things that will come to pass. Look at what the Book or Revelation has to say about the Mark of the Beast and then check out the video story. Gotta warn ya though, its creepy!
Revelation 13
16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.How about that? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this for sure is the Mark of the Beast. I'm just pointing out the fact that the things we read in the Bible are reality and not fairy tale (I'd stay away from this type of identification tool though). Years ago Christians were berated for the belief that someone would have the power to impose this type of identification mark on the world's population. Now, were called close minded and paranoid because the technology is now available to make this a reality. One guy actually asked me, "why wouldn't I want to do something like that if it could help sustain my life." Well, just keep in mind that there has to be something attractive about the Mark of the Beast to get so many people to take it. People will be told that they have to do it in order to, "sustain their lives." Call me paranoid or whatever else you wish but its time to realize where we are in history. We'd be wise to start paying attention to who and what we're asked to be loyal to.
