Faith under fire from our own military.

I never thought I would live to see the day when our government, let alone our own military, would so blatantly attack the things that have made this country great for over 200 years. Sadly, I have now seen that day. (Read story at link below)

http://www.idahopress.com/news/?2009-07-03-Pentagon-nixes-flyover

The Pentagon, led and controlled by our factless leader Obama, had denied an Idaho group a military flyover for their God and Country July 4th event because of "the explicit endorsements of Christianity". Apparently there is no one with a brain or a recollection of history running things at the Pentagon these days. This country was founded on Christianity by Christian men who wanted us to have freedom to practice or religious beliefs and celebrate them openly and publicly if we so desire.

A spokesman for the Air Force reportedly said that it is military policy not support or participate in anything that promotes or endorses and particular religion or ideology. To translate that into what it really means, if the has anything to do with God, Conservatism, or patriotism, count the government and the U.S. military out. They want no part of it. I want no part of a country or a military that wants no part of God. It is not my policy to support their policy.

So, I guess then means that all military chaplains will soon be unemployed then? After all, if they can't even appear to be endorsing or supporting something that is overtly Christian, then they sure can't have a chaplain on their payroll now can they? If this is truly the stance the military wants to take on this issue then consistency demands that they fire all chaplains at once. Of course we all know how this would play out if it actually happened. All of the Christian chaplains would be fired, but any Muslim or Bhuddist or whatever else chaplain would be retained out of political correctness and a fear of being accused of discrimination.

What they will deny to their dying day is the FACT that they ARE committing religious discrimination by denying this group the military flyover that has been a part of the event for 42 years. The event is no more and no less overtly Christian than it has been in the previous years, so why the sudden change? It can most likely be linked to the event that occurred on November 4, 2008 that may well have begun the demise of our nation as we have known and loved it, the election of Barack Hussein Obama.

I am the adopted son of Marine who was a Korean War veteran. I have always had the utmost respect, admiration, and love for our nation's military. With this event, those feelings sadly have now lessened somewhat. I still have the utmost respect and regard for the men and women out in the trenches putting themselves in harm's way for our freedom and safety.

It's the cowards sitting in their plush offices at the Pentagon and the capital who are too spineless to stand up for the faith that this nation was founded upon that I have a beef with. They don't deserve our admiration or respect anymore. They have put political correctness ahead of the Constitution, fear ahead of courage, and a liberal ideology ahead of freedom and patriotism. This is truly a sad time in our nation's history, and if we continue down this path I feat it may soon be over for America. Faith, family, freedom, and patriotism are clearly in the crosshairs of the Obama administration the military commanders they now control.

With a military that is now clearly against faith and patriotism, I am beginning to see how some people in our country can have a very low regard for our military. I am not in that camp with them, at least not yet. I still love our country, our rank and file military, faith, freedom, and patriotism. I just wish our so-called leaders in DC and at the Pentagon did as well.

Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal

This is another email that came today that I thought was worth sharing. It is very eye opening and I could not agree more with its sentiments.......Jim

Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California...

You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California.

"Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted...."Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year. Now take 30% away for state federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00

Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes...Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00

Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage, $1000.00 per month or $12,000.00 per year.Joe Legal now has $19,231.00

Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0..00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00

Joe Legal makes too much money is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays for food $1,000.00 per month or $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00

Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000.00 per month or $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769.00

Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays rent

$500.00 per month or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch.

Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Don't vote/support any politician that supports illegal aliens...

It’s PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Bar code info - FYI

Those of you who care to ONLY buy American may find this info useful. This came in our email today and I thought I would share it..........Jim


The following is a way to tell by looking at the bar code whether you are buying grocery products made in China and other countries as opposed to goods made here at home. The government and the various departments of government will never disclose this info, but we as consumers have the right to know.

If the first three letters of the bar code begin with 471 as in the example below, then the product is made in Taiwan.



000 - 09x = The product is made in America.
300 - 37x = France
400 - 44x = Germany
47x = Taiwan
49x = Japan
50x = United Kingdom
600 - 692 = China

Buy American by watching for the "0" at the beginning of the UPC bar code. We need all the help we can get!!

Palin's next move

Sarah Plain's resignation as governor of Alaska has many of us who are firmly planted on the right pondering her reason(s), and her next move. Did she resign so she could focus more time and attention on her family? If that turns out to be the case, then that is a good thing and she has my admiration and respect. Did she do it so she can begin to get things in order for a run for the Presidency in 2012? If so, then again she has my admiration and respect. I guess only time will tell.

Conservatism and Republicanism needs someone like Sarah Palin to step up to the plate in 2012. We need someone with a true Conservative heritage and record, not a RINO, to enter the race and defeat Barack Insane Obama.

The looming question is, is Sarah Palin the right person to fill that void? It would seem so,a nd for now, she seems to be the only name on the list. I personally would like to see Fred Thompson give it another go, only this time put together a viable campaign and get in the race a little earlier than he did last time. Actually, a Palin/Thompson ticket might just be unbeatable. Of course, I would be happier if it were Thompson/Palin. But, beggars can't be choosers.

This much I do know. I will be eagerly awaiting the former governor's next move. Possibly a move to the white house.

They come in 3's

It has long been said that celebrity deaths come in 3's. Yesterday morning we lost Farrah Fawcett to cancer, and last evening the children of America became just a little bit safer when Michael Jackson died of a heart attack at age 50. Who will be number 3? Some are considering the death of Ed McMahon a few days ago as part of the trifecta. Could be I suppose. Maybe, for America's sake, number 3 will be Obama. Or not, because then we would be stuck with that bufoon Biden.

A message to the Department of Homeland Security

A nine page document was released recently by our so-called Department of Homeland Security and in it was a warning against speaking out against the president. Did I miss something? Are we now in Iran or some other country ruled by some dictator who doesn't have the spine or courage to take a little criticism? It would appear so.

Here is my message to Homeland Security. We are, always have been, and always will be a free country. our God-given right to free speech, free assembly, and every other right mentioned in the Constitution mean more to me and other freedom loving Patriotic Americans than anything else. These rights will not be taken away, by your department, or anyone else. I will continue to speak out against President Obama both through this blog, through my newspaper columns, and in my daily conversations until I draw my dying breath and you cannot and will not stop me.

The only threat I and others like me pose is a threat to Obama's Socialist agenda which can and will destroy America. So, if your department cares so much about keeping America safe from harm, how about dealing with the threat from within, our very own president. He and his ilk are the ones trying to destroy America. Try stopping them for a change. But rest assured, you will not stop me.

Obamacare - A messaage to the President.

It's now official, ABC can now be referred to as either the All Barack Channel or the Absolutely Biased Channel, after their Obama healthcare infomercial Wednesday night. There was only one thing he said that was worth commenting on. He said he would allow those of us who wish to keep our exiasting doctor and/or healthcare plan if we wish. He will allow us to?? Wow, what a magnamous gesture. Oh thank you so much sir.

Give me a king-sized break!! Who does this guy think he is" The supreme ruler of this country or something. We have a wonderful little instrument called the Constitution that guarantees all of us the God-given freedom to choose our own doctors and health insurance plans. This freedom come from God, not from the self-proclaimed Messiah Obama. If this is the kind of change he has in mind, then I have a quote from the movie "Home Alone", and that is "Keep the change, ya filthy animal."

My message to President Obama is this; Whether you "allow" it or not, I, and only I, will choose what doctors my family and I see, who we have insurance with, and any and every other health care related choices that involve my family and I. I can't speak for everyone else, but I will not allow you, or anyone else to cram some Marxist-Socialist, government run health plan down my throat or family's, so deal with it.
