Obama wins and USA loses

This is Friday right? It is the last day of the work week for many of us right? So usually I jump out of bed with a little extra spring in my step. Is it because I hate what I do? No I love what I do.

But I know that Saturday and Sunday will give me a little respite from the usual political hackery that goes on in our nation's capitol. But this Friday morning I got to my desk and turned on my computer and the first thing I saw was that President Barack Obama had just been notified he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

I thought I was still asleep and this was some form of nightmare brought on by cereal and popcorn I had for dinner which I washed down with two cups of java late last night.

Well it was either a very bad dinner or the Witches of Eastwick had cast a spell upon my head and this was the side affect.

I read the story with great interest actually. Yes, I was surprised as well. But as I read further I found something very interesting that lead me to believe this was nothing but a set up from the very beginning.

You see, the nominations for this Nobel of all prizes had to be in by February 1, 2009. Now Obama didn't take office until January 20, 2009. So the man was in office for all of 11 days when someone, somewhere put his name in the hat.

No my friends, this was a set up from the very day the world found out he won the election back in November 2008. They planned for this.

After all, what could Obama have done in less than two weeks to rate high enough on the Nobel Committee's list? He certainly didn't do any thing as a US Senator. He most certainly did not do anything of note as an Illinois State Senator. And he was unheard of as a community organizer or as a college professor. So what did Obama do?

After all, the man who now occupies the Oval Office initiated a surge in Afghanistan as one of his very first military moves. Not very peaceful. But he did run around the world a few times saying he was sorry for America. He said America was mean and nasty and just plain rude to the rest of the world and that he would not let that happen under his watch.

He wanted the world to love us as he kissed leaders' rings, hands and feet. He bowed to a tyrant King. He allowed a dictator to hug him. He encouraged a communist nation to buy more and more of our debt and private companies. He agreed that the USA used more than its fair share of world resources and vowed to punish his people with a new tax.

Yes the world fell in love with Barack Obama. Or at least the thugs, criminals, dictators and One World Order enthusiast did. That is what the Nobel Committee is made up of in part. Just like the United Nations. Hate the USA and you are their friend.

So Obama made it clear during his campaign that he would hate the USA and strive to punish us for being a Super Power. The Nair do wells fell in love. A plan was hatched. Now Obama gets to lavish himself in more wealth, thanks to a bunch of Leftist thugs who live in the worlds best country as voted on by the United Nations.

I think that says all you need to know about Obama. Do you think Obama will share some of his prize money with his brother in Kenya who lives in a hut? Nope? Yea, that's what I thought as well.

Warnings of the past comes true today

President Ronald Reagan predicted what we are facing today. We have a man in office who thinks he knows what is best for you and me down to our health care. He cares not for what you think or believe. It is his time to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America.

And if you appose his policies, then you will be labeled a racist. How vial. How evil. How immoral. How un-American.

When Saturday Comes to New England

It is no secret that I call New England home. It is not secret that I call the great state of New Hampshire my home. And it is no secret that I currently reside just outside the state capitol of Concord.

What is a secret is what I do on Saturdays here in New England. I do what every other citizen of our nation does. I try to relax and have some fun. I exorcise my Liberty and my Freedom.

In New England through out the Summer and Autumn months you will find celebrations called "Old Home Day". This is really something that many other parts of the country may call "Town Fairs" or maybe even "Town or City Field Days".

Here in New England many towns celebrate their "birthday". What you usually get with this is a small town parade, merchants with special sales, maybe even a BBQ on the Town Square or Town Green. It is a typical New England tradition.

Hey, we will celebrate with a parade and food at the drop of a hat. We will use our kids to give us the excuse to participate in silly races such as potato sack racing and other activities including, but not limited to, face painting and hot dog eating contests.

This is America after all. We have a reason to celebrate at the drop of a hat. We have a reason to recall the founding of our town, our city, our state, our nation. We have a reason to spend our Saturday over eating. Its called Freedom.

And just think of this. We are a nation where it is very easy to "get there from here". So we don't have to limit our celebrating to just our own town or city. We can travel to another town, another city even another state and participate and revel. We are the United States of America.

We have fought, we have shed our own blood, we have sacrificed so much so we deserve to be able to celebrate whenever and whenever we want. Most other nations on the planet cannot say that. Most other nations on the planet cannot compare. In fact when it comes to Liberty and Freedom, no other nation on the planet can compare.

We don't have to worry about authority breaking up our fun. We don't have to worry about a Pontiff, a Potentate, a dictator encroaching in on our fun.

We can even decide that a simple protest of our very government is going to be the fun of the day.

I say, go out and about. Travel the roadways to a different town. Make merry and celebrate your freedom. Express your pleasure and gratitude of the sacrifices of the past for it is those sacrifices that allow you, that give you the ability and the right to do just as you please on your Saturday.

Enjoy your America. Enjoy your freedom. But just remember there are those who stalk in the shadows, in the alleys, in the dark doorways who have only one thing on their mind. To remove you from your freedom and liberty. So celebrate today and on Monday get back to work preserving your freedom so that come the next Saturday, you have the Liberty to celebrate again.

Isn't America a wonderful place? I think so. Now I'm off to celebrate. What are you going to do with your Freedom and Liberty this Saturday?

I had a dream

I cannot comprehend why the mind does what it does while it sleeps. I cannot understand why my mind would give me such a movie and then let me remember it. I cannot think of a good reason for having this dream. All I know is that I had it, and I remember it.

In some strange way, this dream has affected me. It has affected me in a way that dreams sometimes can. They can change your perception of reality. They can give you a sense of knowledge that you previously did not have. They can give you insight. They can even, on rare occasion, in some fashion, predict the future.

So what could I have dreamed that could have affected me enough to write about it? Let me tell you.

I don't know how I arrived there but that does not matter anyway. All that matters is that I was there. In the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. I was standing there in the Rotunda in the central part of the building. I was gazing upward marveling at the dome when all of a sudden I was surrounded by men in dark suits and dark glasses.

One stepped forward and simply said, "Sir, please come with us." I remember not dropping my gaze from the dome. I remember that there was an unusual bright light shining down from the dome that day. I remember telling this well dressed man, without dropping my gaze from above, "I'm sure you do."

They lead me down corridors that the general public is not usually allowed to travel. These were dimly lit halls with row upon row of closed doors. I remember saying to my escort crew, "Will we enter the first open door? Or will we walk until we run into the wall?"

There was no answer. But eventually we stopped. We stopped in front of a closed door. The door had symbol on it that I was not familiar with. The front man of the group opened the door and gestured with his head that I should enter. I did so alone.

The room was brightly lit. A rather stark contrast to the hallway I just exited. The room was sparsely furnished but I could hardly notice because on the large wooden desk sat a dark figure. It was Barrack Obama.

"I hear you are one of my biggest critiques and I wanted to meet a fellow black brother to ask him personally why he hates me so."

My reply: "Mr President, I hate no man but what you intend to do to our country is nothing less than criminal. I don't even really know you so how can I hate you? I only hate your policy."

"Well, Mr Eccles, it is time you get to know me. The real me. The personal me."

The next thing I knew I was in the Presidential Limo sitting next to President Obama. The ride was the most comfortable rides I had ever been in. I do remember saying out loud, "I gotta get me one of these."

We arrived at the White House and Michelle and the girls met us at the door. Michelle gave me a big hug as I got out of the car. I did not hug back. I did tussle the hair of both girls. Then Barrack gestured for me to follow him. The funny thing is, his Secret Service detail did not follow.

He gave me a private tour of the White House...the living quarters of the First Family and the West Wing. We entered the Oval Office and the first thing I noticed was that the carpet was dirty and needed to be cleaned.

"Bush had a going away party. They are coming next week to replace the carpet." Said Barrack.

"Is that part of your plan for creating jobs?" I retorted.

"You see, that is the kind of thing that hurts me, Mr. Eccles. I only mean to do what is best for our nation. For our people. And you are keeping me from doing it."

He sat behind what I would call a raggedy desk of wood. Barrack looked up at me and said, "This was President Lincolns first desk at his law office."

I don't remember all that was said after that. The next thing I knew, I was in the private bedroom of the First Couple. "You see, Rod, we are just like you and everyone else. We eat and sleep just like you."

I ended up spending two whole days in the White House with the Obama's learning about them all. Getting to know them.

It was only a dream. It was only a dream. And today when I saw our President on TV giving a news conference, I felt I was looking at a friend, at a person whom I knew. Yet in reality I know nothing about this man.

In reality, what I see is someone who needs to be stopped because what I have learned in my dream is he a man determined to force his will upon us all. That will will destroy the America we know. I feel like I know exactly what this man will try and do. I feel like I now know exactly what this man is capable of.

So was it a dream or was it reality.

God, guns, glory and freedom

Now I am sure you are thinking to yourself, not another post from some right wing whack nut about God and guns. Well, you would be wrong. But since you brought it up, what is wrong with God and guns? Absolutely nothing.

But what this article is about is your freedom, my freedom, the freedom of our children and their posterity. We have been given a great gift by God in the form of the United States of America. Are we a perfect nation? Hell no. Are we the best nation on the planet today and possibly in the history of man? Hell yes.

We were built on freedom and liberty. Our Founding Fathers saw fit to put into the Constitution things that would secure our freedom. Yet we seem to be willing to let our freedom go little by little and we say it is for the best.

We have now elected the most socialistic and radical President in our nation's history. Barack Obama is bent on destroying the very foundations in which our nation was built. But he is not the first.

We have anti gun laws in most states in our union. This is something that our Founding Fathers would never have stood for. Yet we modern Americans think it is for our safety. Despite the fact that gun laws only seem to keep fire arms out of the hands of law abiding citizens, not the criminals. This gives the criminal the upper hand. You can see every where the people are allowed to carry a gun, violent crime goes down. Great Britain banned hand guns for its citizens and its violent crime rate shot through the roof. So much for the safety of the public.

You now have a Governor proposing taxes that would have the Founding Fathers dumping cargo into bays and ports all over the country. NY Governor Patrick wants to put taxes on what you eat and what you do. This is surely not the kind of taxation with representation that our Founding Fathers had in mind. Remember one of the reasons they went to war with King George was over taxes and how unfair and burdensome they were to the American people. Now we have elected politicians who think the best way to solve fiscal problems is to raise our taxes instead of reducing their spending. And we re-elect these people?

We have gotten thought police as well. We now have "hate" crime laws. This gives some people more protection than others. How is that anti-hate when you seem to think that a gay man is worth more than a straight man. Who cares what was in the heart and mind of the criminal when they committed the crime. It was a crime against a HUMAN BEING, period. Hate crime laws fly in the face of the Constitution that says "all men are created EQUAL". This does not leave room for special laws for special people.

We have judges who write law now or force legislators to write law. This was not the intent in the Constitution either. How can you interpret a law that does not exist? You cannot. A judge, according to the Constitution, can only interpret existing law against the Constitution. That does not give the judge the right to force a new law upon the people. That job is for the legislature alone.

Yet we seem to elect the same buffoons to office time and time again. We talk about experience when we just elected one of the least experienced people to our highest office. But then again, this may not be such a bad thing. Our Founding Fathers did not believe in career politicians. They all served a short time and went back to private life. Our politicians today seem to think when they get elected its a life long job worthy of pensions and retirement pay.

And we now have selective discrimination. You can't have a Christmas tree or a Menorah on public property in many places now. Something about "separation of church and state." What a bunch of bunk. Those words do not appear anywhere in the Constitution. I challenge anyone to find those words in the Constitution. Placing a Christmas tree in front of city hall does not constitute the state endorsing a particular religion as the state religion. It is ridiculous how this has played out. Unless you are now some protected minority religion, you have no rights on public lands? Yet we re-elect the idiots who decide this stuff for us.

I am a Christian man. I say Merry Christmas and Jesus is the reason for the Season. If you get insulted, then it is not my problem. I say Happy Chanukah to some people who are Jewish. If that offends someone who is not Jewish, tough. I like guns and own one. If that offends you, too damn bad. I express my opinion freely. You don't like it then don't listen or don't read it.

This is the United States of America and I have the right to do, say and have these things. You don't have the right to shut me up or take them away. You do have the right not to listen. Just as I have a right not to listen to you. Notice I did not say I have a right not to "hear" you. You have a right to say almost anything you want, even call me a racist term and I will hear it, but just because you say it doesn't mean you have a right to have me listen. I can ignore you. You can ignore me, but neither of us can DENY the other of our rights. And that is what is happening today in our nation.

This is the land of the free and the home of the brave and I will gladly stand up and defend her any day. I stand for God, Family, Country. In that order. God gave me my family and my country and I have a God given right to defend them and I will. And I will do so by not voting for idiots who want to take those rights away from me. I will defend my rights by opposing what our elected officials want to do if what they want to do stomps on the Constitution. I don't care if you are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Independent...it does not matter. You trash the Constitution and you and I have a major problem.

The Founding Fathers did not bleed red so that we could someday hand over our rights to a few elites in Capitols all over the land. The power was meant to stay in the hands of all the people not a few. So wake up. Stand up. Don't let your freedom slip away any further. Because if you do, you may find the only way to get it back is by bleeding yourself or worse, by the blood of your children. Now is that what you really want? I didn't think so. Oh and if it comes to that, you will need your gun.

What the Pledge Means to Me.

There has been a lot of talk and argument about Barak Obama and his allegiance. Why does he not solute the flag? Why does he not stand and show his support for the Pledge of Allegiance? Is he not Patriotic? Does he pledge his allegiance to someone or something else?

We can only speculate on what goes on in his mind. But his actions do speak louder than his words. But you also have to stop and ask yourself. Where does your allegiance lie? Do you truly hold your hand over your heart and recite the Pledge whenever you hear it? Do you focus on what it means to pledge to your nation?

Well I have thought about it and here is what the Pledge of Allegiance means to me.

I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America...
I will stand and defend her with my very life because she has given me so much and others deserve to have what I have enjoyed. I pledge to defend her at anytime and anywhere.

And to the Republic for which it stands...
The flag represents the United States of America. The flag is the symbol for which I pledge my allegiance and my life to defend.

One Nation...
We are 50 small States that stand UNITED under one Federal Government and know that United we Stand, and Divided we Fall.

Under God...
The Founding Fathers were not deists but rather God fearing Christian believing men. They put fourth a Republic that took many of its principles directly from the Bible.

Indivisible...
No matter what, we are one people, no matter where we come from. That United we are stronger than any enemy and we cannot be broken.

With Liberty and Justice for all.
We are strong because we have liberty. We are free because we have justice. We grow because we strive to provide liberty and justice for all of our citizens no matter the color of their skin.

That pledge is what sends a tingly feeling up my leg every time I hear it. There is no greater nation on the planet. I will stand and defend that nation with my life if need be because the USA is worth it. Period. Now where does your allegiance lie?

A Time for Independence

I thought I would take this time to do something a little different. If you have never read the Declaration of American Independence, or even if you have but have not done so in a while, then here is your chance to listen to it read to you. It takes all of about 6 minutes. Yet it strikes so true today as it did back in 1776.



May God keep you, your family and our country.
