Rest assured, we WILL protect our borders - one way or the other - with or without the blessing of our government. It's just a question of when...

The Show Dog
I was recently asked by a friend of mine if I would watch over his dog. It is pertinent to the story to know that I am a bit more financially well off than he is. He was going to be out of the country for several months, and as I was the most accessible and had the biggest yard, and I lived in a rural area, I was elected for the job. As we had been friends for many, many years, though saw each other less often than either of us would like, I accepted the chore, albeit with some trepidation.
When he dropped the dog off I was stunned to find out it was an Afghan Hound dog. Why hadn't I asked that, why hadn't I known? Now I was worried. It was big, it was hairy and it barked a lot. What had I gotten myself into? Before my friend left he made sure to insist I take care of and protect his dog, which he obviously loved.
Over time I settled into a routine, but I found that I was always cleaning up loose hair around my house. I finally decided it would be best for me, the dog and my friend if I paid to have the dog shaved. So off to the groomers we went! That turned out to be a great idea, so for the duration of his stay I brought the dog - Liberty - to the groomers every week.
As time went on I kept remembering how my friend would talk about Liberty fathering another litter of pups. So, another scathingly brilliant idea entered my head. Why not get him neutered? Surely that would take care of any possibility of my friend having any responsibility for any female dogs getting pregnant. So, off to the vet we went. Liberty was home from the vet a couple days later, and I felt pretty darn good that I could help my friend who obviously didn't have the money to take care of that particular problem.
But there was still the problem of Liberty barking so much. What to do, what to do? Off I went to the vets, and they sold me a muzzle. Now I always thought muzzles were for biters, but I was assured that the contraption would stop the dog from barking. The vet showed me how to put it on the dog, and back to the house we went. I noticed after a week or so that Liberty's behavior was changing. He was getting more aggressive, less friendly, and he whined all the time. I wasn't sure what to do about that, so I decided to let it slide until my friend came home.
Three months finally passed and the big day arrived. My friend was flying in that afternoon. I went out with Liberty for one last grooming, affixed the muzzle, and off we went to the airport. I was imagining my friends surprise and delight when he saw Liberty - muzzled, newly groomed (shaved), and now neutered. To my utter disappointment and bewilderment, when my friend saw his dog and learned I had also neutered the dog as a gift to him, my friend became very, very angry, started yelling at me, furious, that I had ruined his dog.
Then it dawned on me! This wasn't just any dog, after all. It never was. This was a show dog, a dog of the highest caliber. What had I done? In my desire to help my friend, I only succeeded in destroying his most prized possession.
I wonder if obama will get that message about Liberty today...

The New Mantra Out Of Washington - "Let's Work Together"
It's already all over the news. Democrat pundits saying things like "after the election, let's put the vitriol away and work together." Or obama saying today that the Republicans don't want to work with the Democrats. Even Juan Williams said today that come January there will be gridlock in Washington. And he claimed that Joe Biden said "it will be war" referring to the next two years in Washington if the Republicans won't work with them.
Let's be perfectly clear. We are sending people to Washington who will NOT work with the establishment, unless the establishment is willing to work towards smaller government, eliminating entitlement programs and doing nothing, usurping no authority, not expressly contained within the Constitution. It's that simple.
So strap on your seat belts, put on your helmets. Joe Biden is right, we are at war with government. We are at war with the "rule of man" over the "rule of law". We are at war with socialism and programs and policies that will lead us down that road. And when at war, we do not "work" with the enemy. Just as they did not work with us during town hall meetings. Just as they did not "work" with us as we tried to get our message of smaller government across to them during thousands of Tea Party events. Just as they did not work with us when they scoffed "who has time to read the bill, and what good would it do?"
Work together? Are they out of their minds? I don't want to see ANY newly elected politician walk the establishment line. I want them to walk the Constitutional line. If it can pass the Constitution test, we'll work on it. If it can't, sorry, you're out of luck. If that shuts down the government, so be it. We want control of the government back where it should be - with the people, not the elitists. We have decades of unconstitutional law and unconstitutional programs to unravel, dismantle, phase out, and eliminate.
Rest in peace, Big Government. Your run was legendary, but it's over. Can you say bye, bye?

The "C" Word
It used to be all about the "O", but this month, this week, particularly, tomorrow, it's about the "C" word - Conservatism. I am hopeful that Florida will lead the way as we sweep progressives from office and replace them with Conservatives! Ohio will follow, replacing their whole political ideology with Conservative thinkers. Even places like Delaware and Massachusetts may find themselves on board. It is truly an election of epic proportions.
And as I sit here this morning, the morning of election eve, I'm reminded of my childhood. Of the excitement I felt every Christmas Eve, the anticipation of Santa Claus visiting our home. Of going to bed so excited I could hardly sleep, and then waking to the wonders that only Christmas Day could bring, Until tomorrow! I can't stand the anticipation. These next 24 hours will be excruciatingly long. And so will the next 12! But rest assured, when we wake up Wednesday morning, if we don't already know before we go to bed, we will find a fresh shroud of political snow blanketing the land - north to south, east to west - pristine, sparkling, pure, magnificent. And on that shroud we'll pin our hopes for the future. We will watch expectantly as our new Congressmen and Congresswomen-to-be talk about what they can do and will do as a voting block, to bring America back towards Constitutional government.
And as we accumulate success, one small bill at a time, one line of language at a time, we will begin to see the tapestry that was America re-emerge. And it will embolden us to continue the fight into 2012. And with that election, and the increased support for Constitutional Law the 2012 election will bring, and the grand possibility of sending Conservative judges with Christian values to the Supreme Court, we will strengthen the foundation of this new America! And this new America will actually be our old America - reclaimed, and restored in part. And as we move forward, election after election, decade after decade, we must pass on the torch of truth, of vigilance, of engagement, and of activism to our children and our grandchildren so that future generations never have to face the challenges we've had to face. And America will be, ance again and forever, the shining light on the hill, beckoning to all who promote and aspire for freedom, for liberty!
Here's my group from Florida, each and everyone of them should be elected handily. Along with current conservatives who have no opposition and people like Marco Rubio and Lt.Col Allan West, we should enjoy a long period of reclamation! I'm very hopeful of that. Glorious, just glorious!

Are You Listening Yet?
Many people have been skeptical of my attempt over the past two years to warn anyone who will listen that the country is sliding into socialism. Many believe I am an alarmist, some think I'm an agitator, some think I'm misinformed, some think I have a devious agenda, some think I'm an extremist, some think I am racist and only reacting to the election of a black man to the White House. None of those is true. I have lost friendships over the past two years that I had cultivated over years because of the stand I have taken. Perhaps this gentleman will be able to convince you better than I, just because of who he is, that we are in dire times. I hope you take the time to watch him, listen to him, and decide to get involved in saving the country we grew up in. I'm praying that you do...

A Warning For America... From England
There is no longer any middle ground. The progressives have seen to that; they have driven us into the political end game. They may have done so before we were prepared to be here, but we're here none-the-less. Now it's up to each of us to respond. Figure out what you believe; make your choice. Just do it quickly. Socialism or Constitutionalism. Those are the only two choices left to us. Who wants the ball?

Abomination?
God and His laws, is the answer! There is no doubt of that. As difficult as it can be at times, strive to hold fast to them. And if you should fall, pick yourself right back up, ask forgiveness and move on. So, let me ask you, how much truth do you find here?
Your Prayers?
By T. M. Moore, The Colson Center For Christian WorldviewPublished Date: October 30, 2010
Abominations (6)
If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
Proverbs 28:9
For many Christians, pointing out the abominations that abound in our society has become something of a spectator sport. We’re quick to point the finger at adulterers, homosexuals, corrupt businessmen, and tax cheats. We denounce with righteous indignation those who pursue practices which God describes as abominable and worthy of His wrath. But we’d better be careful here. Because it’s just possible that many of us are practicing a form of abomination which is, in the eyes of God, as heinous and detestable as any moral outrage we might choose to denounce. I’m talking about our prayers.
Scripture teaches that God has problems with the prayers of His people from time to time. Sometimes He’s actually angry at their prayers, as when they have become so compromised and shallow that they make themselves a taunt and laughing-stock among their unbelieving neighbors (Ps. 80:4-6). At other times He won’t listen to our prayers at all, particularly if we are holding on to some sin, refusing to repent and follow the path of righteousness (Ps. 66:18).
But is it really possible that God is not simply angry at our prayers or turns a deaf ear to them, but that He actually regards our prayers as in the same category as the kinds of abominations we have considered thus far? This is clearly the teaching of our text: God finds abominable the prayers of those who leave off hearing and obeying His Law.
Many Christians these days are hurling abominations in the face of God every time they look to Him in prayer. This is because the Law of God is held in such low esteem on the part of contemporary Christians. One well-known evangelical theologian has written that, “the Christian has no relationship to Law”, and for the Christian “the law is a dead and a useless thing.”
Many Christians are doubtless happy to hear that. Whenever I speak or write about the Law of God, I invariably hear from someone that “we’re not under Law, we’re under grace,” and, therefore, we don’t have to pay attention to the Law of God. Most Christians cannot name all the Ten Commandments in their proper order, and all but a few have any sense at all of what to do with the ancient civil laws of Israel – even though it is clear that Jesus and the Apostles regarded these as still in effect.
The neglect by the Christian community of the Law of God is the greatest scandal of our day. Yet, on top of this inexcusable neglect, our prayers go up day by day, not as sweet incense to the Lord, but as an abominable stench before His holy throne. God tells us in His Word that the truly righteous person meditates in the Law of God day by day, hides the Law of God in his heart, walks the path of God’s commandments like Jesus did, and teaches others to do the same (Ps. 1; Ps. 119:9-11; 1 Jn. 2:1-6: Matt. 5:17-19).
The Law of God is holy and righteous and good. But today’s Christians do not study the Law, do not teach it to one another, and do not insist that this holy and righteous and good standard of truth and justice should be part of the public policy of the land in which we live. Consequently, our prayers – and all you have to do is hear God’s Word on this – our prayers are an abominable stench in the nostrils of God.
Brothers and sisters, here is a call for repentance. Here is a call for you to add to your spiritual disciplines daily reading and meditation in the Commandments of God and the civil statues that accompany them. Here is a call, not to be saved by God’s Law, but to begin working out our salvation in those good works for which we have been redeemed, good works ordained from of old, as Paul puts it (Eph. 2:8-10). Here is a call, beloved, for purifying our prayers by turning again to the Law of God as the moral, spiritual, and ethical foundation for all our walk with Him.

It's Time To Take The Bull By The Horns
Deemed too controversial in 1986 when the deficit was "only" $2 Trillion! Well, 4 administrations and 24 years later, we find the deficit to be $13 TRILLION! Think it'll still be too controversial? Maybe if the liberal media hadn't hidden this stuff from us 24 years ago, we'd be in a better position today. While there's no way to tell for sure, I believe we would be. It's time to take the bull by the horns, and wrestle this government to the ground once and for all. We the People must take our country back - or we might as well just move to Venezuela...
CAGW Launches New Nationwide Ad Campaign
On October 21, 2010, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) unveiled a national ad addressing our country’s spending addiction, the dangers of relentless deficits, and the corrosive nature of our national debt.
This new ad, which features a chilling look at one potential future scenario if America continues on its current destructive fiscal trajectory, is a 2010 homage to “The Deficit Trials,” a 1986 ad that was produced by W.R. Grace & Co. For those who were able to view it, the ad caused a sensation; it was considered so controversial at the time that the networks refused to run it.
J. Peter Grace, CAGW’s co-founder and the chairman of President Ronald Reagan’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control (the Grace Commission), was alarmed about what the debt would do to future generations. The national debt was $2 trillion in 1986, when “The Deficit Trials” ad was denied broadcast time; today the debt stands at $13.7 trillion and is projected to reach 140 percent of GDP in two decades, the time in which the new CAGW ad is set.
The new ad is part of an ongoing communications program in CAGW’s decades-long fight against wasteful government spending, increased taxes, out-of-control deficit spending, and a crippling national debt that threatens the future and survival of our country. CAGW plans to run the ad on major cable networks throughout the rest of 2010 and into 2011.

I'm 63 And I'm Tired
Yes, I'm d--- tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter..
by Robert A. Hall
Robert A. Hall is the actor who plays the coroner on CSI if you watch that show.He is also a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.
I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.
I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela.
I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.
I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honourably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need.
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, colour TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.
I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I'm d--- tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter..

99er's Are Being Unionized
The number of "99ers" - people who have been unemployed for 99 weeks or longer has skyrocketed since 2007. I understand it is at its highest number in our history. We have closed over 42,000 factories since 2001. There is no "light at the end of the tunnel" for many of these people. Most have worked their entire lives, only to find when their benefits run out they may end up homeless, penniless, destitute. And things are getting worse because the current administration embraces policies in direct opposition to free market principles. No free market, no jobs.
So has there been anything nefarious in the administrations complicity in growing this "class" of Americans? Absolutely. And now we're seeing what it is. The union, you know, obama's buddies, have stepped in and unionized the 99er's. Hmmm, another lobbying bloc! Is it a stretch to predict this group will lobby Congress to extend unemployment benefits even longer? Can you say a permanent socialist class of Americans if that ever happens? And which ever party agrees to those "demands" for increased benefits will undoubtedly get the benefit of a huge voting constituency - upwards of 7.5 million people, all voting age - by some accounts.That will undoubtedly be the Democrats, and the progressive ship will keep sailing on.
Is there no end to the fronts on which we will need to fight in order to turn this national travesty around and restore liberty? I think not. The progressives have shown their hand and their willingness to openly engage in the struggle to change America. They know they will either be strong enough to make that happen, or they will fail. Seeing as they are out in the open, it's clear they believe they are strong enough to succeed in their mission. Have they under-estimated us? I pray they have. But I still see too many apathetic people walking around in their own little world with little regard, or understanding, of the magnitude of the challenge facing America. How that can be, I'm not quite sure, but none-the-less it is evident everywhere I look.
Engage people, get them out to the polls, make them understand the issues that are clearly visible in our society. They are many, and they are huge in scope. The magnitude is nearly unfathomable when you stop to think about it. The sheer scope of the work ahead is overwhelming. But as Ronald Reagan once said, "If not us, who? If not now, when?" That is exactly where we stand today. That is exactly the place in history we find ourselves. Our response, how we react, the choices we make, and the strength we share, will ultimately define what is written about this generation of Americans in future history books. We've looked back in history at "the greatest generation", but their challenges, while great, were not as great as ours. Let's work tirelessly to take that designation from them!
Stand With God, Stand For Liberty, And Prepare To Fight!
So has there been anything nefarious in the administrations complicity in growing this "class" of Americans? Absolutely. And now we're seeing what it is. The union, you know, obama's buddies, have stepped in and unionized the 99er's. Hmmm, another lobbying bloc! Is it a stretch to predict this group will lobby Congress to extend unemployment benefits even longer? Can you say a permanent socialist class of Americans if that ever happens? And which ever party agrees to those "demands" for increased benefits will undoubtedly get the benefit of a huge voting constituency - upwards of 7.5 million people, all voting age - by some accounts.That will undoubtedly be the Democrats, and the progressive ship will keep sailing on.
