2012 Global Green – The Eradication of Poverty

Are you ready? It’s coming in 2012 – whether you’re ecologically savvy or not, if  we don’t stop this NOW, it will happen.

I am all for good stewardship of the resources the Lord has given us, but the devil is in the details and this situation is UGLY. Leaked UN document: The population HAS outstripped the available resources to be sustainable, therefore the UN will establish a global government by 2012 and begin the process of “poverty eradication,” but not before they tax you $1 trillion dollars a year for the next 40 years to establish a fund from which they will without election govern you. Though historical analysis proves that climate change is the natural process of the Earth, the facts are completely irrelevant to this cult who have written in stone they are going to murder 92% of the earth’s population to save a planet that doesn’t need saving. It doesn’t have to happen, and it won’t, but how far will they get before you wake up and open your mouth? If you allow them, they will kill 92% of the people on your friends list, family included. How did Malcom X put it, “By the ballot or the bullet?” We retain the power of the ballot for a couple years so USE it! Yes to research to do better, down with subjecting ourselves to unelected, international, sociopathic, Marxists that love trees and money more than their fellow man.

If you’re still thinking ecologically astute, you might want to do more research. Living green won’t prevent the planet from warming up, there are bigger fish at work in the planetary sea. I’m not really big on dooms day messages, and I’m not telling you that there’s some superhuman god at work here getting ready to destroy the planet. What I am telling you is that we’ve allowed leaders to come to power who have NO GOOD INTENT, and will do us harm if they’re allowed to continue as leaders in the free world. We must act on the information we now have, to prevent further action against the people on this planet.

I’m one vote, but I can influence many votes, given opportunity. I have a solid network of people surrounding me who will listen. I’m telling you now, that we must stand up and make a difference during this election year to prevent the atrocities that are coming. If not, we have no one but ourselves to blame.

Speak out, today! Let Freedom Ring.

Huckabee, Constitution & Grass Roots

The states are still sovereign. That’s the basis of the Tea Party movement that keeps rocking the United States. Since Richard Nixon, there’s been an upsurge in grass roots people who understand the purpose of getting back to our ROOTS – the Constitution.

While Huckabee whispers his wisdom across the air waves, the people of the United States quietly gather to shout their support of the fundamental foundation of our country. The Constitution has stood strong and true for more than 200 years, and there’s no reason to change it now. The fundamental principles are still as sound today as they were when the document was written.

So, why is the federal government [current administration] so stealthily determined to CHANGE what has worked for so long and still stands as a solid code of conduct for government?

President Obama stood before the people and promised no increase in taxes for people who make under $250K per year. But he can’t stand by that promise. He’s planning the Grandfather of all Tax Increases.

Where do the solutions come from? Americans are tired of failed campaign promises and lost funding, national debt and insincere politicians. Huckabee offers solutions, but his solutions lack sustenance and power. As a spokesperson, Huckabee feeds the source of frustration, giving solutions that would work, but aren’t working (because they can’t be implemented with the current administration).

The tax increase, as well as the debt, could be ended in a minute if our political leaders would simply follow the constitution and do as they’re supposed to be doing, instead of spending us into massive federal debt and killing off our children with the weight of financial overload.

At a recent Tea Party, attendees held up signs purporting their viewpoints and objectives, proclaiming that they want the Constitution back in power. Without it, as a nation, we crumble. With it, we thrive, our National Gross Product will increase and paying off the debt will be a no brainer.

Grass Roots voters have an option. In Colorado, grass roots voters have Cleve Tidwell, the only conservative candidate for U.S. Senate running on the Republican Ticket. Tidwell understands the purpose of following the Constitution and knows how to generate wealth for a nation in economic crisis. He’s prepared to lead and stand on principles and values that have served America well in the past and will serve us well in the future.

Where’s Huckabee’s endorsement of this solid core candidate?

Colorado Grads Need Remedial Help

Article Discussion: Nearly one in three Colo. graduates need remedial help in college
by Father OMalley

I spend at least an hour every night teaching my 8 and 11 year old the school work they should be learning during the day.

Public schools are literally experimenting with our children.

Instead of using tried and true methods of teaching math, that has over a 3000 year history of teaching, are now “conceptualizing” math problems.

Case in point: learning algebraic formula notation vs vertical notation for adding and subtracting. The teachers say, “Since higher math uses a horizontal rule of notation, we teach your child early to do this instead of waiting until a later grade. ”

I respond that the simple addition, subtraction, division and multiplication is better taught in the beginning using vertical notation because logically it is more understandable to a young mind when placed in vertical columns. Think bank book register and spreadsheets.

My children should be able to add subtract their check book before they learn algebraic notation. Their whole class falls behind “expectations” in the beginning of every year. Then they must do extra work to catch up.

My daughter is constantly amazed at how little notation she must do using “dad’s” way rather than the school’s. The school teaches her to put numbers in tables or in a confusing area of curved arrows pointing to numbers, instead of normal columns. This has confused her since 2 nd grade.

History? My daughter when 8 came home saddened and asked “Why are white people mean?” She had been studying Martin Luther King and civil rights.

I told her that our civil rights movement is a shining proof that a free nation evolves faster than nations that have less freedom. I told her that over 6 million Americans, most white, died in our Civil War to free those in slavery.

We should be proud that we evolved, not ashamed that we had to.

I then pointed that Africans had practiced slavery through conquering tribes, much like the American Indian for centuries prior to the first white settlement in either country. This was routine for conquering tribes since the beginning of civilization. I also said that there is still slavery in parts of Africa and the Middle East today. I told her that all “races” and I do put those in quotes when talking, have shown an extraordinary amount of cruelty to the innocent.

Given this perspective she can hold her country up as a shining example not something to be ashamed of. Western European culture has been a central element in raising every human’s freedoms to prosper to a new higher level than ever before.

Unlike from her public school teachers, she got the “RRRReesst of the story”.

I could give other examples. Needless to say, I am seriously contemplating home schooling these two as a did my two oldest.

They benefitted from home schooling more than public schools. How do I know this?

Each returned to High School in their junior year.
They would come home and smile saying how they “aced” another test. They said they already knew the math, history, english and geography while studying with dad.
What better way to make a dad proud?

I am not surprised at the finding of children needing “remedial” help.
Socialism truly cannot help those in need, it only brings more into need.

Whenever you lower expectations to “be fair”, you lower the entire society.
Our schools are a direct reflection of our failure to hold the progressives to 0 gain in our daily lives.

Want to change things?
To change things, you must change the laws.
To change the laws, you must change who makes them.
For your candidate to win, he must be on the ballot.

Organize your neighborhood, and attend caucus. You do have a voice.

www.fatheromalley.com

*****

As a home school mom, myself, I would encourage you to visit Father OMalley’s page and get involved in the caucus action this voting season. We must stand up and make a difference or our children will have no choices left. Vote for a conservative candidate and make a difference this year.

Staging a Home on a Grant

When Billy calls I often wonder if he’s off his marble, or maybe he’s just off one rocker, but he sometimes has a great idea. The problem with his great ideas is that (besides the fact that he’s almost always willing to toss a few bucks in the pot) he’s always seeking an investment. This time, he wants to stage a home on a grant.

So, Jan meet me for coffee at the Coffee Clatter is his call.

Investment…

Could be the price of breakfast at IHop, or it could be a bigger investment. This time, he’s seeking a grant of $300K for a remodel on  a house in the lower end of Littleton. Can he do it? Probably. Can he get the money? Maybe. Will it benefit others? Of course it will, but it’s more PORK from the government. Why should government support Bill’s wacky ideas for making a profit?

If government supports Bill’s wacky ideas, why shouldn’t they support wacky ideas for the rest of the population?

Pork…

When the pork gets to be too costly, the BEEF begins to complain and the chickens among us, bock at paying the bill. There’s an eagle of freedom soaring overhead, reminding us that if we give in to the FREE LUNCH aspect of living that we’ve lost the reality of LIBERTY and FREEDOM.

That’s the catch with pork investments. The bacon is fat, but there’s a cost if you eat it.

Don’t eat the free lunch friends. There’s a better way.

Take the time to figure out how you can make a profit without the free lunch. Make a difference and don’t eat the pork. Take the eagles way out and fight for the Liberty and Freedom to earn  your own BEEF.

Let Freedom Ring!

Michelle Obama’s Public Servants

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service,”— Michelle Obama.

As does the rest of America, I truly appreciate that Michelle Obama has chosen to CHANGE the dynamics of the position she inherited when her husband was elected President. So much CHANGE has happened in the white house that the people of the United States barely recognize the place.

Talk around the Coffee Clatter is that Susan Sher is the First Lady’s Chief of Staff. “The First Lady has a Chief of Staff?” I could hear Benny squalling over that one from the back of the kitchen, “Since when does the First Lady have a Chief of Staff, and what in the world does she do?”

Sher is a lawyer buddy from Obama’s days in Chicago. So, teaming up against the people of the United States from the white house was a natural next step. But exactly what is it that the First Lady’s Chief of Staff do?

“We don’t know what she does,” says Benny. “But whatever it is, she’s making $172.2 greenbacks to do it, and the tax payers are paying it.”

With David Medina and Jocelyn Frye heading up the support team as [respectively] Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Policy and Projects, what could possibly be left for Ms Sher to do?

David Medina, according to Lynn Sweet, heads up the U.S. Global Leadership Campaign, with such former alignments as; John Edwards, ACL-CEO, Deputy CEO of the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and U.S. Senator Carole Moseley-Braun… Is he now getting paid to Lobby for Bigger Government?

Frye’s experience, again, according to Lynn Sweet, includes extensive experience working with equal employment opportunity and workplace fairness. Not only are the top leaders on her staff lobbying for bigger government, but now (in addition) they’re positioning themselves to lobby for equal opportunity… Um, doesn’t this sound an awful lot like the ‘uh’ 28th Amendment? Hasn’t that already been done?

The discretionary salaries of Michelle’s super-staff rides high, against the fact that Social Security received NO raise for 2010, due to budget cuts and the national deficit, for which retirees in the United States bear little responsibility for creating.

Perhaps, if Michelle and her staff of plenty chose less decadent afternoon snacks (one reported snack, including lobster tails and caviar cost more than $450, plus tip), social security recipients could have a better diet than “dog food”. Whatever happened to cheese and crackers?

Budget cuts for the American People should start at the top. When a family sets out to cut their spending, they don’t go out and hire more staff to help out around the house, and they don’t increase their personal expenditures. They start by pulling out all the extra expenses and cutting out anything unnecessary, then decreasing expenses in other areas of their lives. It all starts with cutting out everything but essentials and adding back excesses, ONLY when they become affordable in compliance with the budget.

But there’s a different plan afoot on Capital Hill.

There, the plan is to borrow more money, spend more money than ever before and create a bigger debt. Promise the people more than can be successfully accomplished and blame predecessors for any failures. But the people of the United States are not buying those stories anymore.

We the people are demanding the transparency promised by this administration. We are demanding compliance of the President and his wife, along with the national leaders standing on Capital Hill – or we WILL replace them in 2010 and again in 2012. They can bank on it!

Perhaps, we can have a cup of coffee over at the Coffee Clatter and discuss it…

Michelle Obama’s Staff of Attendants

As the world turns at the white house, Michelle’s attendants take turns straightening the chaos of Ms. Obama’s life… and it truly must be chaos. Else, why would she need twenty-six attendants?

Are these the only jobs created by the President’s riotous abuse of the American Tax Payer?

To the tune of $1,206,700, Michelle Obama pretends to manage her life, children and a husband from the white house, with a staff of more than 25 people. Is this the kind of “first lady” we want remembered in the next thirty years? For the next thousand years? What about, for the next presidency?

But wait, we’re used to that. We have the Obama’s running the show and they’ve figured out that there’s no limit to what the American public will pay for a President who claims to be African-American.

Let’s review that concept for a moment…

Is he African-American?

His mother is a white girl from Kansas. She got pregnant in college and her parents moved to Hawaii where she raised her son… Or did she? Obama gives much credit to his Grandparents, for his raising… And even more to his African heritage.

There’s serious question as to his heritage, a question that would literally take him out of office if answered. The American people have asked the question and HE refuses to answer.

How much are the American people willing to pay for an erroneous result of  social networking popularity?

In case you haven’t noticed, anyone with an ounce of credibility a little cash money and a few friends on the Internet can become the center of popularity with millions of friends. With enough paid marketers, anyone on the planet can create a like-able – even Love-able facade that magnetically attracts innocent people into a scheme to elect a president who couldn’t earn his way out of a paper bag on his own intelligence.

If Michelle Obama has a staff of 26 people to keep her saying all the right things, popular beyond measure, dress her, fix her hair and do her nails… how many people are on the President’s staff.

AND Who is making the decisions required of the President?

Isn’t it time the American people made a decision to make a difference, be somebody and stand up against the tyranny of a President whose only claim to fame is the ability to hire enough people to make him popular?

Tidwell Speaks Out for Tea Party Conservatives

“You don’t think this issue is really about health-care, do you?” Tidwell asked a room full of constituents at a recent luncheon. His views spilled over through the next hour as he explained, “If political leaders take over health care now, they’ve got us. There’ll be no escaping the socialism, Marxism or communism that will follow directly after. Once health care is in the bag, they tie up the rest of the social services within the country and we’re at their mercy.”

Tidwell understands that euthanizing the aging, disabled, or ill will become common practice if government takes over health care. Is that the plan? Of course, that won’t be the acknowledged or accepted plan, because nobody would vote for the program if they knew that will be the ultimate choice. All politicians eventually become old, but they think they’re exempt. Why? They have different health care. But, for how long? When will the elite determine that the vast majority of political beings should be suspended from the elitist care, and then what? How long will it take for all medical care professionals to stop caring about their profession?

When people become numbers, those lower beings who are not political elite, the ultimate answer is the elite become numbers too.

Tidwell’s years as a businessman, traveling through countries where socialized medicine is the rule exposed him to the realities of the socialized one-payer method in ways that have taught him the importance of maintaining liberty and freedom in health care, and in other federal departments. Tidwell states emphatically that we must restore federal government to a limited role, limited by the Constitution. We must prune back government and eliminate federal departments of education and energy, such as the Environmental Protection Agency.

“By eliminating these excessive, overzealous government agencies, we could take a big step toward balancing the federal budget. But, traditional Republican and Democratic politicians won’t do it.” Tidwell said, “That’s the reason you should support a solid conservative candidate, and I’m the only conservative candidate on the ticket. If the Republican Party leaders put moderates in this race, they’ll lose. Tea Party activists and other conservative groups pushing Colorado Republican leaders to be more aggressively conservative; I urge  you to ignore the state poles and get involved in the election process. Make a difference, be somebody this election year, by putting a businessman who listens to the voices of the people in office.”

Tidwell acknowledges that most polls are heavily influenced by big national and state party politics. He stated that the newly elected US Senator Scott Brown, Republican from Massachusetts showed little financial support until the final weeks before the election. Conservative, non-party line political groups are credited with helping Brown win the seat, long held by the late Democrat, Edward Kennedy.

The effects of party-line political standards have cramped the style of Americans long enough, it’s time to take a stand against the liberal, and mediocre middle of the road traitors who are giving away your freedom and liberty.

Wake Up America – There is NO Free Lunch.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. –Harry S. Truman

It would appear, given the health care bill Obama has shoved through the senate and the house of representatives that we’ve attained this position, where the path of increasing repressive measures is the one chosen by our leaders. But… the people of the United States STILL have other options. We can choose NOT to be repressed. We STILL have a voice, and we can STILL use it during the elections of 2010.

In a massive vote recently in Copenhagen, the WORLD said, “NO!” to the most ludicrous scientific scam the world has ever been exposed to, giving the United States another opportunity to step away from the ledge and STOP our government from turning us into a Marxist, Socialistic Regime. Are we going to take aim and fire on the opportunity or lie down and fail the supreme test?

In 2010 we can turn around the house and the senate, stopping the massive flow of socialist take over and stand up for freedom and liberty guaranteed in our Constitution —- and protect our rights.

There is NO Free Lunch. None! It doesn’t exist. If someone gets fed, someone pays. The concept of having a government big enough to provide health care for the masses with no cost to the people is not only insanity in motion, it’s a stop gap end all to health care as we’ve known it. Research and development will end. We cannot support a government which has outgrown the tax paying basis of it’s people. The government officials currently in office are voting in their own job security – against the constitution. They’re not listening to the people. This has to STOP. They must be held accountable by electing NEW people into their spot. They MUST get a pink slip in 2010. It’s absolutely imperative that we fire the jerks who are not listening to us.

We must elect CONSERVATIVE candidates to office in 2010 and the time to get started doing this is right now, at the County Caucus events in your home town. We don’t have a lot of time to get started, so if you’re interested in the outcome of this election and have not gotten involved, do so now. Contact your county leaders, or step up and become a county leader if there are none.

If you’re involved in a 9/12 organization, ask them how to be more involved. If not, contact your county clerk and ask for names of leaders who would benefit from your help and assistance.

4 years is long enough before the president has to be re-elected. I am for term limits in the house and senate. The crap of men being politicians and nothing else is garbage. They should have to meet payroll and hold real jobs before they can be elected to any position. They should have to return to the mess they’ve created.

Voting in their own job security by enlarging government to need them is a ludicrous act of traitor-ism. They’re not serving the people of the USA. They’re serving themselves and that’s treasonous.

Maybe if we actually said it – out loud – and reminded them of the oaths they take, then voted their stupid arses out of the position in 2010, the next term “fillers” would get the idea that it’s not a FREE LUNCH.

Environmental Positioning – Climategate Fraud?

If you love the environment please stop breathing. The EPA is positioning to get in the ring of power and administer a browbeating to Congress and the American people. Never in the history of our country has there been such blatant misuse of influence and utter disregard for the people they exist to serve.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for regulation of pollutants. Pollutants are things toxic to life and the environment. Perhaps it has been awhile since EPA officials graduated high school, but most of us “regular folks” understand that Carbon Dioxide is a gas that is expelled anytime animals (including human beings) breathe. Carbon Dioxide is essential for the life of every plant, and, by extension, every animal, on the planet. The EPA’s recent ruling declaring Carbon Dioxide as harmful to public health proves the level they are willing to stoop—the lies they will spout—all in the name of expanding their power while confiscating the power of Congress and, thus, the American public.

This conduct stretches the limits of morality. We have an Executive Branch ready to flex its muscle by employing regulatory agencies to pass such “rulings” and “studies” whenever it appears they are not getting what they want via legislative channels. It is called the Constitution; it is called protection of the people—but the White House does not care. Obama is the bully and the regulators his army and it seems the president will stop at nothing to impose his agenda. Let’s call it what it is: the march to Socialism.

Carbon regulation is opposed by the majority of Americans as they understand the consequence it will have on their pocketbook, and the consequence it will have on their liberty. Congress should not permit regulatory agencies to impose taxes and fees on billions of Americans based on alarmist rhetoric and cynicism. And, if they do, may it be lights out for those elected officials in 2010.

Senator Reid needs a History Lesson

An Open Letter to Senator Reid:

Opponents of health care reform are not supporters of slavery.  You have it backwards.  A statement more accurate to the truth would have been to say that proponents of health care reform are supporters of slavery.

It is sadly predictable that you were not forthright in making an honest argument, but also not surprising since health care is something the majority of Americans have made clear they do not want.

I am certain you understand slavery, Senator.  Slavery is when you force something that is unwanted and something that strips the rights of others.  Government has no justification, no Constitutional right, to dictate health care upon its citizens.  Slavery denotes that one man owns another man; in this case, Congress is exempting itself from the health care it is imposing on others.  What is it exactly, Senator, that makes the health care bill good enough for your fellow Americans, but not good enough for you?

Slavery is requiring that doctors treat the patients you designate, practice in the locations you specify, and be paid the sums you determine.  Slavery is deciding which patients will be treated, which treatments will be denied or postponed (per guidelines so vague as to circumvent any justice), and factoring when a person’s life is no longer worthy of air.

You, Senator Reid, are the supporter of slavery.  Please do not try to flatter yourself or insult the American public with a tortuous understanding of your real agenda.
