I'm Hopeful that the NEXT SOTU Address will sound like this

2012-01-25T13:38:00.001-06:00

Reaction to the President’s State of the Union speech has been as predictable as the speech itself, split along the usual partisan lines. But Obama’s next one, to be given after the 2012 election, figures to be a game-changer, and here’s an exclusive early look at what it will include:

“Good evening. And a special welcome to the many outgoing Democrat congressmen and senators. I know you blame me for the staggering losses our party suffered in the last election. The good news is, you and I have pensions for life. Incidentally, that’s almost as long as the new, long-term unemployment extension we passed during the lame duck session. The bad news is, we’ll have to borrow the money to pay for those programs from Uruguay.

I want to thank each and every American who voted for me, especially the record numbers who did so posthumously. I only wish you had voted more often.

I want to take a moment to look back on our achievements. We passed a national health care program. I know the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional last summer, but remember, the law was on the books almost long enough for an average American to read the entire 1300-pages of that law.

I stopped the Keystone pipeline, hobbled the domestic energy industry, and made worldwide oil reserves available to the Chinese. I think we can all see the results in reduced traffic at the drive-through and increased sales of bicycles and skateboards. I know a gallon of unleaded will now set you back twelve bucks, but the good news is, you can now pay for that gas with food stamps.

The size of our military is now one tenth what is was when I took office, and we are engaged in no foreign wars. Sure, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Maui are now colonies of the People’s Republic of China. Yes, Mexican drug cartels have surrounded the Alamo. And, admittedly, the number of rogue states with nuclear weapons has grown exponentially to include Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Luxembourg and Solyndra..

But we’re not economizing on our security. I have doubled the number of TSA airport security officers, and authorized them to conduct strip searches on anyone who even drives past the airport.

Thanks to bailouts and takeovers during my administration, the government now owns 45% of private businesses in this nation. We have had a 98% success rate in running those businesses into the ground. By the way, I don’t agree with critics who say that including permanent Obama 2012 bumper stickers on all new GM cars was responsible for that auto company’s plummeting sales.

The best news is that this nation, struggling with unsustainable debt, massive unemployment, declining international prestige and influence, and worthless currency is not my problem anymore. Since the election, the Republicans are in charge, so we can go back to blaming them.”

(It is not customary for the outgoing President to deliver a State of the Union address. Therefore, Mr. Obama will deliver his remarks on the ABC program “The View” immediately following the Harry Reid aerobics segment and the Nancy Pelosi cooking demonstration.)

CRABBY OLD MAN

2012-01-25T10:37:00.001-06:00

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in... North Platte , Nebraska , it was believed that he had nothing left of any value

Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem . Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital

One nurse took her copy to Missouri . The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health.. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Crabby Old Man

What do you see nurses? . . What do you see?
What are you thinking . . . . . when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man, . ... .. not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . .. . . . . . with faraway eyes?

Who dribbles his food . . .. . . . . and makes no reply .
When you say in a loud voice .. . . . .. 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . ... . the things that you do .
And forever is losing . . . . .. . . . . . A sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not . . . . . . .. . . lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . . . you're not looking at me .

I'll tell you who I am . As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, . . . . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten ... . . . . . with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . ... . . . . . who love one another.

A young boy of Sixteen . . with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . . .. .. . . a lover he'll meet..
A groom soon at Twenty . my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows . . . . .. . that I promised to keep.

At Twenty-Five, now . . . . . . . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . . . . .. . . . .. My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . . . . . With ties that should last.

At Forty, my young sons .. . have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me . . . . . . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . . . . My loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me . . my wife is now dead.
I look at the future ... . .. . . . . . . shudder with dread..
For my young are all rearing . . . . . .. young of their own.
And I think of the years . . .. and the love that I've known.

I'm now an old man . . . . . .. .. . . and nature is cruel.
Tis jest to make old age . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. . . . . . . grace and vigor, depart..
There is now a stone . . . .. . . . where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass . . a young guy still dwells,
And now and again . . . .. . . . my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys . . . . . . . . .. I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . .. . . . . life over again.

I think of the years, all too few . . . . . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . . . .. that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people . . . . . . . . open and see.
Not a crabby old man. Look closer . . . see ME!!

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within . . . . we will all, one day, be there, too!

Obama's Green Robber Barons

2012-01-25T08:17:00.000-06:00

Had enough of fat cat Barack Obama, his jet-setting wife and his multi-millionaire Chicago consigliere/real-estate mogul Valerie Jarrett attacking the "rich"? Well, brace yourselves. You'll be hearing much more from the White House about the "wealthy few" who aren't paying their "fair share" as Obama's re-election campaign doubles down on class-war demagoguery.

As usual, there's always a set of immunity charms for the privileged friends and family of the ruling class. When it comes to all the Green Robber Barons who've reaped an obscenely unfair share of billions of tax dollars from the Obama administration, the envy trumpeteers will be quieter than a nest of mute church mice.

Obama's State of the Union address defiantly pitched a new round of clean energy spending orgies to help the "middle class." But how have the serial bankruptcies and near-bankruptcies of several federally subsidized solar companies -- all under Obama's watch -- helped anyone but an upper-crust elite of eco-crats and their lobbyists and consultants?

5 tech predictions from 1968 that were dead-on (and 5 that were completely nuts) | DVICE

2012-01-23T08:05:00.000-06:00

40 years ago, science fiction writer James R. Berry predicted what the future would look like on November 18th, 2008 — today. His piece for a 1968 issue of Mechanix Illustrated, "40 Years in the Future," made some impressive guesses, from flat-screen televisions to video conferencing. He also made a few understandable missteps: pollution-free air in cities, house paint that's always pristine, and — pardon me, ladies — the idea that women would still do little more than use a computer to plan recipes.

If The U.S. Government Keeps Spending Money Like This We Are Doomed And If The U.S. Government Stops Spending Money Like This We Are Doomed

2012-01-23T06:52:00.000-06:00

If you increased your credit card spending by a couple thousand dollars per month would your lifestyle improve? Of course it would. By going into large amounts of debt, it is possible to live a lifestyle that you can't really afford, at least for a while. But if you keep racking up huge amounts of credit card debt every single month, eventually it gets to a point where it is extremely difficult to even keep up with the minimum monthly payments and the credit card companies will not lend you any more money. Well, on a larger scale it is the same thing with government debt. Right now, the U.S. government is spending more than a trillion dollars more than it takes in every year. Even if the U.S. government spends all of that money on incredibly stupid stuff, it still gets into the pockets of ordinary Americans. In turn, those ordinary Americans use that money to pay the mortgage, buy food, shop at the mall, etc. All of this borrowing and spending by the U.S. government has created a "false prosperity" bubble that is not real. It may feel real to you right now, but it is unsustainable by definition. If the U.S. government suddenly started spending only the money that it actually brought in every year, our economy would be doomed and all of this "false prosperity" would rapidly disappear. But if the U.S. government continues to rack up debt at this pace we are doomed as well. In fact, every dollar that gets borrowed makes our eventual collapse ever worse. We are heading down the exact same road that Greece has gone. Eventually the rest of the world is not going to lend us gigantic mountains of super cheap money anymore. When the flow of cheap money stops, it can be extremely painful.

If The U.S. Government Keeps Spending Money Like This We Are Doomed And If The U.S. Government Stops Spending Money Like This We Are Doomed

The state of the Union is HORRIBLE...but Obama's not to Blame

A comment on this editorial:
We have one last opportunity to rid ourselves of the Progressive parasites who plan America's demise.

We can avoid "1984" and/or "Road Warrior" scenarios, if we are willing to WAKE UP and smell the Socialism.

By Socialism, I mean Tyranny. Redistribution efforts are destined to fail, as they weaken our moral fiber by disincentivizing hard work and innovation; by the recipients of borrowed largess, as well as the providers.

But the "UN"intended consequences of 100 years of Progressive sabotage are EXACTLY what they meant to accomplish.

POWER. Raw, unadulterated power in the hands of the anointed few, over everyone else.

Mr. Curl has one point that should not be taken as tongue-in-cheek. O may be at fault, but WE are to blame.

We must not allow ourselves to be seduced by bread, circuses and apathy, to be bought by desperately needed government grants, to be goaded into precipitate anger and violence, to be convinced by con-man politicos who despise the fiscally conservative Constitutional concepts they claim to conform to.

We must join together, rise and FIGHT for liberty, as our forbears did, or it will perish from the Earth.

I would rather see a limited period of suffering and sacrifice in order to restore Constitutional government and prosperity than generations of slavery in a world that no longer knows freedom.

I would rather die as an old man in a free and prosperous America, but

I would die on my feet, for I will NOT live on my knees!

The president’s campaign team thinks up shiny new slogans for Obama’s 2012 re-election

2012-01-22T17:15:00.003-06:00

During the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama glided to victory promising not only “hope” but also “change.” His campaign also came up with a carefully crafted slogan: “Yes We Can.”

As the president’s campaign team thinks up shiny new slogans for Obama’s 2012 re-election effort, The Daily Caller decided to help them out by coming up with ten very bad options that should be scrapped immediately.

10.) No we couldn’t, but maybe if you gave us four more years we can? Vote Obama 2012.

9.) There is only so low we can go before we bottom out. Vote Obama 2012.

8.) I still have so many speeches left to give. Vote Obama 2012.

7.) We’re not better off than we were 4 years ago, but we are better than we were 400 years ago! Vote Obama 2012.

6.) Goodbye 18-hole Sundays, hello 9-hole Saturdays. Vote Obama 2012.

5.) Give Carter the second term he never had. Vote Obama 2012.

4.) Four words: Attorney General John Edwards. Vote Obama 2012.

3.) Ain’t no party like an Obama inauguration party and you won’t get one if you don’t vote for me. Vote Obama 2012.

2.) Two words: More Biden. Vote Obama 2012.

1.) 9/11 was an inside job. Vote Obama 2012.

I wish people understood economics well enough to grasp this. It's why we should NOT have bailed out the banks, the car companies, the unions and state governments. Why we should not have had a stimulus program. Why Obama's Jobs plans are all wrong. Why the green energy stuff was a farce. IF we had just allowed the market to operate, we would be well today. Now Obama's QE-3 will only make things worse. Makes me sad to think of how hard the fall will be when it comes.

The Great Fish Club

2012-01-20T21:16:00.000-06:00

Now it came to pass that a group existed who called themselves fishermen. And lo, there were many fish in the waters all around. In fact, the whole area was surrounded by streams and lakes filled with fish,and the fish were looking for something.

Week after week, month after month, and year after year, those who called themselves fishermen met in meetings and talked about their ...call to go fish...ing. Continually they searched for new and better methods of fishing. They sponsored costly nationwide and worldwide congresses to discuss fishing and hear about all the ways of fishing, such as the new fishing equipment, fish calls and whether any new bait was discovered. These fishermen even built large and beautiful buildings called Fishing Headquarters.

The plea was that everyone should be a fisherman and every fisherman should fish. One thing they didn't do, however, they didn't fish. All the fishermen however seemed to be agreed that what was needed was a board which could challenge fishermen to be faithful in fishing. So the board was formed by those who had great vision and courage to speak about fishing, and to promote the idea of fishing, and to promote the idea of fishing in faraway streams and lakes where many other fish of different colors lived. Large, elaborate and expensive training centers were built whose purpose was to teach fishermen how to fish. Those who taught had doctorates in fishology. But the teachers did not fish. They only taught fishing.

Some spent much study and travel to learn the history of fishing and to see faraway places where the founding fathers did great fishing in centuries past. They lauded the faithful fishermen of years before who handed down the idea of fishing.

Many who felt the "call" to be fishermen responded. They were commissioned and sent to fish off in those "foreign" lands... and to teach fishing. Now it is true that many of the fishermen sacrificed and put up with all kinds of difficulties. Some lived near the water and bore with the smell of dead fish every day. They were even ridiculed at times for their efforts. They anguished over those who were not committed enough to attend weekly meetings to talk about fishing. After all, were they not following the Master who said, 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of men?' Imagine how hurt some were when one day a person suggested that those who don't catch fish were really not fishermen, no matter how loudly their claims were made. Yet it did sound correct. Is a person a fisherman if year after year he never actually fishes?

If Christ were to return to this earth today in physical form, would He find us fishing, in obedience to Him, or would He find us organizing, talking about fishing, and making plans to be the best Fishing Headquarters anywhere?

#1 The average age of an automobile in the United States has gone up more than 50% since 1990 and is now sitting at an all-time record of 10.8 years. The average length of a marriage in the United States that ends in divorce is only 8 years.

#2 Germany made 5.5 million cars in 2010. The United States made less than half that (2.7 million).

#3 When you add up salary and benefits, the average auto worker in Germany makes $67.14 an hour. In the United States, auto workers only make $33.77 an hour in salary and benefits.

#4 Back in 2000, about 17 million new automobiles were sold in the United States. During 2011, less than 13 million new automobiles were sold in the United States.

#5 Do you remember when the United States was the dominant manufacturer of automobiles and trucks on the globe? Well, in 2010 the U.S. ran a trade deficit in automobiles, trucks and parts with the rest of the world of $110 billion.

#6 Japan builds more cars than anyone else on the globe. Japan now manufactures about 5 million more automobiles than the United States does.

#7 In 2010, South Korea exported approximately 12 times as many automobiles to us as we exported to them.

#8 According to the New York Times, a Jeep Grand Cherokee that costs $27,490 in the United States costs about $85,000 in China thanks to new tariffs.

#9 U.S. car companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars building shiny new automobile factories in China.

#10 In 1970, General Motors had about a 60 percent share of the U.S. automobile market. Today, that figure is down to about 20 percent.

#11 The combined U.S. market share of the "Big Three" American car companies fell from 70% in 1998 to 53% in 2008.

#12 Detroit was once known as the "Motor City", but in recent decades automobile production has been leaving Detroit at a staggering pace. One analysis of census figures found that 48.5% of all men living in Detroit from age 20 to age 64 did not have a job during 2008.

#13 Today, only Chrysler still operates an automobile assembly line within Detroit city limits.

#14 Since Alan Mulally became CEO of Ford, the company has reduced its North American workforce by nearly half.

#15 Today, only about 40 percent of Ford's 178,000 workers are employed in North America, and a significant portion of those jobs are in Canada and Mexico.

#16 The average Mexican auto worker brings in less than a tenth of the total compensation that a U.S. auto worker makes.

#17 In the year 2000, the U.S. auto industry employed more than 1.3 million Americans. Today, the U.S. auto industry employs about 698,000 people.

America's success is based in liberty and that we must not allow ourselves to fall into tyranny. Of course, no one supports tyranny blatantly and so defending liberty is thought to be easy. But the people who support tyranny don't always do so blatantly. In this book, Levin shows how people throughout the ages have supported tyranny through an ideology called utopianism, and thus ushered in tyranny through "intellectual bankruptcy and dishonesty."

Wind City...a place for true believers

2012-01-19T19:09:00.004-06:00

There are some marvelous large wind farms in our area. They pollute the prairie rendering most of the ground un usable. That is the nature of stupid energy policy.

You can read the whole article without subscribing by Googleing in the news tab the phrase:
Small Is Beautiful—So Go Nuclear

I have a proposal.

I would propose all those who are convinced windmills and solar panels are the answer that they move to and live right under the windmills - FREE. We'll call it wind city. The only requirements are for you to live free there is you must live. IF you move there you must stay two years. No retreat.

To prove the capacity for absolute sustainability you must agree to the following:

You can have a solar panel that covers your whole roof.
You must live off the electric grid.
Other than solar your only source of power must be the windmill under which you live. No grid.
Your house may be insulated.
You must pump the water you need with electricity generated by the windmills.
You must grow your own food on the land under the windmill and after one season can eat only that.
You will not be allowed to give up. If it gets very cold, the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine you will freeze in the dark. You are allowed no storage devices. Just like the grid has none. If there is no load the windmill will run free.
You communications, internet, telephone, everything must be powered solely by your windmill and solar panel.
You will not be allowed under any circumstance to burn anything for cooking or heat. That would contribute to global warming.

If you decide to give up, you owe me $30,000, about what it will cost to put you into this situation. You get to live free.

IF you survive the two years and still believe this is the best plan for the whole of the nation you will be able to convince me.

I don't think anyone would do this. They know this is destined to fail.. just as the New Dark Age conspiracy of this administration is designed to do to the USA.

How to be really efective in Public Speaking

2012-01-17T17:43:00.000-06:00

Your voice will give you away

It's extremely difficult to read a speech and sound as if you mean it.

For most of us, when reading, posture changes, the throat tightens and people can tell. Reading is different from speaking, and a different sort of attention is paid.

Before you give a speech, then, you must do one of two things if your goal is to persuade:

Learn to read the same way you speak (unlikely)

or, learn to speak without reading. Learn your message well enough that you can communicate it without reading it. We want your humanity.

If you can't do that, don't bother giving a speech. Just send everyone a memo and save time and stress for all concerned.

Satan's Agenda

2012-01-17T15:25:00.000-06:00

Satan called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil angels, he said, "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from conservative values. But we can do something else. We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Christ. If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So... let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that experience in Jesus Christ.

This is what I want you to do, angels. Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" shouted his angels. "Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent unnumbered schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Temp them to spend, spend, spend, then borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6 or 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their
children.

As their family fragments, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work." "Over stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive, to keep the TV, VCR, CDs, and their PCs going constantly in their homes. And see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical, contradicting music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ. Fill their coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogs, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services, and false hopes."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted, and unprepared for the coming week. Don't let them go out in nature to reflect on God's wonders. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, and movies instead. And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotion."

"Let them be involved in soul-winning. But crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

It was quite a convention in the end. And the evil angels went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there. Has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge.

How about this definition of Busy:
B-being
U-under
S-Satan's

IF you wonder why God's Hand is on Tim Tebow....this may help you understand.

More than 24 years ago, Pam and her husband Bob were serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying for a fifth child. Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in contaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and was treated with strong antibiotics before the...y discovered she was pregnant. Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own s...afety and told her that the medicines had caused irreversible damage to her baby. She refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted. Pam said the doctors didn't think of it as a life, they thought of it as a mass of fetal tissue. While pregnant, Pam nearly lost their baby four times but refused to consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband: If you will give us a son, we’ll name him Timothy and we’ll make him a preacher. Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy August 14, 1987. Pam’s youngest son is indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital visits, and serves with his father’s ministry in the Philippines. He also plays football. Pam’s son is Tim Tebow.

A tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. born JANUARY 15, 1929.

A minister like his father and grandfather, he pastored Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery and Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. He formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

On April 16, 1963, King wrote: “As the Apostle Paul carried the gospel of Jesus Christ…so am I compelled to carry the gospel…I must make two ho...nest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers…I stand in the middle of two opposing forces…One is a force of complacency…The other force is one of bitterness and hatred, and it comes perilously close to advocating violence. It is expressed in the various black nationalist groups…the largest being Elijah Muhammad’s Muslim movement. Nourished by frustration over racial discrimination, this movement is made up of people who have lost faith in America…I have tried to stand between these two forces…for there is the more excellent way of love.”

Martin Luther King concluded: “One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage.”

If only today's leaders who invoke the name of Dr King would follow his sound reason. We have few such today. That includes Jesse Jackson sr and jr and Rev Al Sharpton who are thin shadows of the greatness of Dr King. There are some who are great, but they are reviled because they left the plantation and do not follow the liberal party line demanded by the race baiters. Voices like Dr King's are silenced today by a confederation of greedy power hungry misleaders.

The audio is linked below.

“Get ready to compete with people,” he bellowed. “Don’t set out merely to ‘do a good Negro job.’

... “If you are setting out one day to be a good Negro doctor, or a good Negro lawyer, or a good Negro schoolteacher, or a good Negro preacher, or a good Negro skilled laborer, or a good Negro barber or beautician, you have already flunked your matriculation exam for entrance into the university of integration.

“Set out to do a good job and do that job so well that nobody can do it any better. If it falls your lot to be a street-sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets like Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say ‘Here lived a great street-sweeper who swept his job well.’”

I know this is true. When the big economic crunch comes, these churches of no effect will close. IF you aren't transformed into a new creation you are kidding yourself by sitting in church. Stay home and watch TV.

"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinth 5:17
John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell yo...u the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Ephesians 4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.

IF a person attends church and it has no effect on their lives they are preparing for Hell. Many churches are predominately filled with unsaved people believing the lie of the devil that says if you were baptized you are ready for heaven. IF you read your Bible you are headed for Heaven. If you worship well you are headed for heaven. If you can sing you are headed for Heaven. None of that is true...

UNLESS you are born again, a new creation, old things passed away, behold all things new, beholding the Kingdom, you are as lost as the pagan who denies God.See More

The Worst of the White House Aides - Valerie Jarrett

2012-01-15T16:34:00.000-06:00

What Valerie Jarrett does best is represent the Obama administration in microcosm. She embodies its insularity, its cronyism, its cluelessness. Born in Iran to a prominent African-American family from Chicago, she took degrees at Stanford and Michigan Law. She worked briefly as a corporate lawyer but hated every moment. So she decided to “give back,” which is Chicago code for cashing in. She campaigned for Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor, and worked for him in the corporation counsel’s office. Washington died in 1987, but Jarrett remained in government, working for his successor, Mayor Richard M. “Richie” Daley, son of legendary boss Richard J. Daley. It was all upward from there.

Before long Jarrett stood at the intersection of private interest and public power. She became Daley’s deputy chief of staff and was later appointed to various boards and quasi-governmental agencies that award lucrative contracts—the Chicago Transit Board, the Commission for Planning and Development for the City of Chicago, the University of Chicago Medical Center, and so on. Her social standing, combined with her positions in government and her well-compensated seats on the boards of many companies, magnified Jarrett’s power. She knew everybody. Everybody wanted to know her.

Community Economic Independance Index

2012-01-15T10:50:00.003-06:00

One can measure the capacity of any community to be independently wealthy, independently prosperous.

If you take where I live, Fox Valley, St Charles, Geneva, Batavia and remove components known to not be directly contributory to the economy of the marketplace, in other words these components live FROM the marketplace, produce no GDP, are simply money transfers, even if beneficial, you will discover quickly what the remainder is and that will be the Community Economic Independence Index.

Take all incomes from all individuals in the community, then, subtract those that are paid to people from Churches, Charitable Organizations, Government Salaries, Payments FROM government including Social Security, Welfare and any employee of agency funded by taxpayer dollars or charitable contributions.

That will leave business owners, people who work for them in business, agriculture (exclusive of payments made to farmers) and all others who by the work the do earn income for products or services rendered.

Nothing else counts. Sorry.

The net of that calculation, even informally, will give you good reason to understand why and how some communities seem to prosper and some seem to founder.

If you take adjacent cities of Elgin or Aurora in the Fox Valley, you quickly see the difference. Same geography, same river runs thru, but the net result is very different.

I know this isn't a popular viewpoint, but we must see the truth. Working in a charity, being in the ministry or working in government shouldn't be a way to be enriched. If you do, you are not serving for serving sake and you are NOT contributing to the economy. What y0u do may be valuable, but it doesn't foster economic independence.

Can Money Make You Happy?

2012-01-14T12:16:00.000-06:00

Can money make you happy? An entire quantitative field of study, happiness economics, has grown up around that question. In reading the literature, I came to one inescapable conclusion: Happiness economics makes some academics happy because they can publish conflicting papers that help them earn tenure. Oh, and they’ve boiled down happiness to an equation:

But the real relationship between income and happiness is more nuanced, and measuring people’s true feelings is tricky. For example, when study subjects are asked how happy they think people at different income levels are likely to be, they generally underestimate the happiness of the poor. And because much of the research considers just two variables, with income on one axis and happiness on the other, the other factors that make

Can Money Make You Happy?

From the comments section, two were excellent and I agree with them:

Money buys one thing: more choices. Happiness comes by making the right choices. More choices can often lead to poor choices. I think there is a basic income level that provides satisfaction -- enough money to pay for basic needs and wants. Beyond that, it's the making of good choices that creates happiness. I've known a lot of people with a lot of money, who make horrible choices and are pretty unhappy.

It's the wrong question. Money is amoral. It's like asking, "Can a chair bring happiness? It depends on what you do with the chair. The love of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself. You can truly be happy in giving your money to others, or even using money to meet a need. For a time, you may even "feel happy" in purchasing ______. But, in the end, the love of money will not bring happiness. John D. Rockefeller, Sr., one of the richest men in history, was once asked how much money it takes to make a man happy. Rockefeller's famous reply was, "just a little bit more." Only God can bring true happiness.

I have thought very hard about my father in law and my father both in Nursing Homes, who in their lucid moments never thought, DARN, I wish I hadn't taken that vacation with my wife or family, I wish I hadn't gone to dinner with friends, I wish we hadn't spent money on good memories at the lake, hunting, fishing or whatever. I wish I had saved it all up carefully in an IRA or 401K so I could give all that money to thee NURSING HOME.

WHY OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED IN 2012 by Walter Williams

2012-01-12T18:27:00.001-06:00

By Dr. Walter Williams

Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't.. I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term.

The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.

But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.

The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected.
Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win.

Gas prices moving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins.

The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins.

War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term.

America's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama!

The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.

You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.

And that's why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.

Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.

Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:

1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us,

2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,

3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,

4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,

5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,

6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,

7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more every day. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,

8) The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist,

9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,

10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.

-- Dr. Walter Williams

IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO "SHAKE THE BOAT" TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVE

* It's believed the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

* If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you have the courage, I have a way you can make a lot of money on Thursday. This would only be for people already trading commodities. There is a crop report coming out on Thursday. First since last fall. It has been an uncertain season and the weather is taking a toll. To make this trade you would take a long and a short position on Corn, Beans and Wheat. The three commodities that are mos...t at risk and with a lot of volume. When you take these positions you put a stop loss about 15 points above and below your respective positions. When the report come out, you let the market hit your limit point and allow the other to run. This should be good for ten thousand dollars. I won't be doing this, but if you are already trading you will find this useful. You're welcome. OH, some houses won't allow this in one account, so you will need two accounts to accomplish this.

Observations on Aging … George Carlin

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions. “How old are you?” “I’m four and a half!” You’re never thirty-six and a half. You’re four and a half, going on five!

That’s the key.

You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

“How old are you?” “I’m gonna be 16!” You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16!

And then the greatest day of your life… you become 21.

Even the words sound like a ceremony… YOU BECOME 21… YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There’s no fun now, you’re just a sour dumpling. What’s wrong? What’s changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you’re PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it’s all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50… and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn’t think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You’ve built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it’s a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn’t end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; “I was JUST 92.”

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. “I’m 100 and a half!”

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

The Power of Failure to Empower Success

2012-01-05T05:51:00.000-06:00

The following are some reasons why failure can empower success:

Failure causes us to rethink our current paradigm of ministry

If scientists and innovators in technology treated failure the way leaders in ministry do, then scientific and technological progress would be stifled! Those in fields of research understand that for every failed experiment they are closer to proving or disproving their hypotheses. Failure in ministry or business has the power to get us to recalibrate how we operate and make us more efficient. Even the corrections in the market economy during the past several years are part of a normal cycle of allowing what really works to come to the fore and correct some of the systemic ills regarding our cultural business habits.

Failure can bring greater humility

God has used ministry and relational failure to bring me closer to Him and to rely on Him more for my well-being, identity and success. As a younger leader I could only reach a certain point of humility on my own based on Bible reading and private devotion. God had to use the fiery trials of life experience, that come through time, to work a deeper level of humility in my soul.

Failure can bring more compassion towards others

Struggles with my own children have given me more compassion with Christian parents who have their own family challenges. I have found that I have far more authority to speak and minister to people in the areas I have been the most challenged with, especially because my heart resonates with people who are going through the same battles I have experienced.

Failure can cause us to seek God more earnestly

The longer I am in church ministry, the more I realize that I will never get the results in our local church, network or public life without seeking God earnestly! I have found that when I initiate ministry—based on my own natural gifts and abilities to lead and strategize—then it is up to me to keep it going on my own strength! God is not obligated to empower that which He never willed to exist! The older I get the more I try never to get involved in anything unless it not only fits my purpose and mission but also comes out of a strong witness of God’s leading in the Holy Spirit during prayer and contemplation.

Failure can make us more interdependent with other key leaders

As a young leader I hoped God was going to use me to bring great revival to New York City. But several years into our young ministry I went to hell and back (figuratively) and experienced much suffering do to failures in my own key relationships and ministry. After several years of intense trauma I came out of these trials with an understanding of how much I need other leaders. This resulted in an intense desire to network key leaders and churches from around the city which gave birth to “All City Prayer” initiatives starting in 1991 in which more than 1,000 people and more than 50 churches and leaders would come together for a day of fasting and prayer for our city. That was followed by many other citywide initiatives too numerous to mention (read my book Kingdom Awakening for more on these initiatives). All of this was precipitated by my experiencing failure in multiple areas related to family and ministry.

Failure can make us more self-aware

One of the greatest lessons from failure is that it made me more aware of who I am and what makes me tick, when I am being driven by fleshly personal ambition and when I am being led by the Lord. Every time I experience failure I use it as an opportunity to self-reflect and learn how and why I did what I did.

We'll muddle through, with some things getting better, and some things getting worse, but, overall, with no really dramatic change.

Well, maybe. But at the risk of being a New Year's downer, that's probably a best-case scenario. Though we might muddle through, there are a lot of potential game-wreckers out there. Let's look at a few.

Obama in Prophecy

2011-12-31T22:18:00.001-06:00

Obama in Prophecy

I was in a department store shopping, when I heard on their intercom….a Moslem call to worship in their native language. I looked at another shopper and she just shrugged her shoulders. Then I heard it again. This happened 4 times. Then I woke up. I quickly thought about the Inauguration happening that day. I went to get a drink of water in the kitchen and saw on the clock, 4:44. I thought, what does this mean Lord? I went back to bed and prayed in the Spirit for a while and fell asleep. I was in another dream. This time I was with someone who is Catholic, who said to me, look at my new Madonna I have on the wall. I did not look. But I knew it was a large sunburst with a large Madonna in the center of it. Then the scene changed and my wife and I were driving down a road in the country. Suddenly, about a ¼ of a mile ahead on the left side of the road, there came up 4 volcanic vents shooting straight up into the sky, pumping tons of black smoke and some gray ash, high into the sky. Then all this ash began to fall back to earth. It covered everything to where the landscape was desolate as far as you could see. Then I woke up.

I asked the Lord what all this meant.

Now I have seen:

4 Calls to Moslem prayer
444 On the clock
44th President being sworn in that morning
1 Madonna on a large sunburst
4 Volcanic vents shooting into the sky

Later that morning as I watched the Presidents speech, he said
that America was Christian and Moslem nation.

Text of Obama Speech
http://news.yahoo.co...bama_text/print

We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. Always America has be referred to as a Christian~Judeo Nation and normally they will mention the other religions, but never mentioning muslims as the 2religion.
but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. “New Age”

Meaning of President Obama’s Name;
Barack: Blessed
Hussein: Good, Handsome One
Obama: Crooked, Zigzag, Not in a Straight Line

“The blessing from the handsome one that is crooked”

Remember the Word;

Mar 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(1) I believe the 4 calls to Moslem worship were telling us who and what our new President is all about.

(2) The Lord lead me to Jeremiah 44:4

I began to read at verse 2 – THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; YE HAVE SEEN ALL THE EVIL THAT I HAVE BROUGHT UPON JERUSALEM, Soon. The people of God who are apostate. AND UPON ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH; Soon. Those in Christ, the True King of Judah, who are now in great error in the Spirit. verse 3 – BECAUSE OF THEIR WICKEDNESS WHICH THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO PROVOKE ME TO ANGER, Giving Gods Glory and Worship to another, Our new President is called the ONE, Abortion, our new President believes in it, lukewarmness and rampant sin within the church. IN THAT THEY WENT TO BURN INCENSE, The prayers of the Believers are now toward their new king of America. AND TO SERVE OTHER GODS, Man and then New World Order. WHOM THEY KNEW NOT, Jesus Christ is our God, no other. NEITHER THEY , YE, NOR YOUR FATHERS. Verse 4 – HOWBEIT I SENT UNTO YOU ALL MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, RISING EARLY AND SENDING THEM, SAYING, OH, DO NOT THIS ABOMINABLE THING THAT I HATE. You shall have No Other Gods Before Me, saith the Lord. It is not hard to see all the world is wondering after the Beast, system. (I suggest reading all of Jeremiah Chapter 44)

(3) 44 President. As most of our Presidents, our new one is a Free Mason, and they are into numerology. 4 plus 4 = 8 completion, satans version, copying Gods Word, of bringing all mankind, including the church under his control. Just as the Remnant saints are preparing to go into Jacobs Trouble to be Purified, satan and his hoards are preparing to steal, kill and destroy, while receiving glory and adoration from all who worship him in his end time kingdom.

(4) The Madonna and sunburst the Mother of Harlots and her son Nimrod-satan. Nimrod was king of the original Babylon. It was not by mistake that we just conquered Iraq-Babylon. Making us the daughter of Babylon, now, as they were in their day, the most powerful nation on earth. We, as they were, will be destroyed in these coming years. Our sins have caught up with us as they did with Israel and God punished them for it. We say we are a Christian Nation. Our President says, we are Christian and Moslem Nation. Saints, press into the true and Living God, Jesus Christ. He is our only Hope.

(5) 4 – vents of smoke and ash

The Lord showed me these represented the 4 corners of Earth, and they were demons spirits released into the World to seduce the people into receiving the new President and the New World Order as the only way to Save the earth, and themselves. Remember the Word of God says, you must be willing to loose your life, in order To save your life. This world as it is, is not our home. We belong to the Kingdom of God and our home is Jesus, The Zion of God, the New Jerusalem. We are in His Body and we make up the Temple of God, with Jesus As the Head. Saints, this dream was a call to repentance. We must turn From sin and trusting in man. Our Hope is in Christ Jesus, And Him Alone. Amen

From Seth Godin:

A friend asked me the other day, "...given the sorry state of so much in the world, what's possible to look forward to?"

The state isn't sorry. It's wide open.

Interest rates are super low, violence is close to an all time low, industries are being remade and there's more leverage for the insurgent outsider than ever before in history.

The status quo is taking a beating, there's no question about it. That's what makes it a revolution.

I said this nine years ago and I stand by it. In the years since I wrote this essay, people have started social movements, built billion dollar companies, toppled dictators, found new jobs, learned new skills and generally made a ruckus.

Go!

The state of the Union is HORRIBLE...but Obama's not to Blame

The president’s campaign team thinks up shiny new slogans for Obama’s 2012 re-election

If I told you my reaction to this you would think me weirder than normal. I'm guessing my friend Barry Kolb will have the same reaction.

Newt makes 3 million in 2010. Pays a Million in taxes. That doesn't seem fair when half of all Americans pay no taxes at all.

I disagree with this. I have degrees or significant course work in three of the top 5 and I have done very well thank you.

I agree with Allen West...why isn't HE running for President??

The day after President Obama was elected President, I made this same appraisal of the man. You can go back on the Northern Gleaner blog and read it. I was right and so were many others that watched his election in dismay.

I think we should just say, I'll tear up yours, you tear up mine.

In these 8 that ABC proudly hails they forgot ONE.... William Jefferson Clinton....But maybe he don't count?? I mean he said he never had SEX...Oh Right. The media lies...Don't believe them

This is really good and really true

I'm good (bad) on 4 of these

For those who are convinced things are getting better and better...this is another viewMy Friend Chuck Comstock visited Athens recently. Is this true?

Anyone doubt we are living in a post Christian Era? We have a HUGE mission field 50 feet from our front door.

I always thought that if I could dig deep enough I would come out in China, nope, somewhere in the middle of the Indian ocean. GLUG

Iran will return the crashed U.S. RQ-170 drone except in the form of a pink plastic toy. Iran has been manufacturing 2,000 of these toys per day with a quotation inscription from Khomeini that reads "We will put America under our feet.” Not a good thought

This could happen in the USA if we don't stand against this evil

This made me laugh out loud. Hope you enjoy it

Before anyone thinks it's OK to buy into some kind of evolution...this may help

Adam is really really hard on the poor. Kinda like a nicotine addict is on smokers who won't quit. OUCH

Like the Mafia, only worse. WOW

this is for my friend Olufunso Joseph Omidiran to understand what has happened in the police state formally known as the USA

Police State happens when Barney Fife is the Mayor

OH NO>>>> QE 3 is on...this is really bad news

Our Imperial government. From the top (President taking million dollar vacations) to the bottom, (corruption in our local government) we need to clean house. They do this because they know we will let them get away with it. Period!

Gosh, I read about this event in a big black book I carry around

This is really funny... I heard it today on Car Talk. Hilarious. I may soon HIT....

Why does this remind me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where Cleavon Little threatens to shoot himself if they don't back off.... I don't get this

relate the right to work states to the personal prosperity of the people living in those states and be prepared for a surprise. Organized labor is a farce.

I'm sure this means nothing....Right? Right?

Giving to charity is way up in 2011. Here's a question, are they generous because they are rich or are they rich because they are generous? I know the answer. You can too...It's right there in the book of Psalms, Chap 112: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+112&version=NLT

The idea that all "Religions" are equal, that they should be respected, is a fallacy. Only Jesus can provide the Peace and Joy that the world needs. Darkness in the guise of "Religion" is a demonic plot.

Seems like this "German" was born in Chechnya, a Muslim. Burning cars didn't seem very German to me since I are one. The plot thickens.

I enjoy Thomas Sowell's random thoughts. They are insightful, brilliant and many times illustrate the insanity our our times and culture. If you don't read him you need to...

The coming police state is the beginning of the persecution to come:"the growing idea that the police can and should use any means necessary to maintain order". This trend is not good news

If you want an optimistic view of the future, this is that. I agree..we have a year of challenges, yet opportunity. Right NOW is the Chance of a Lifetime

I got 100% of these right. I can't imagine anyone missing any...but then...I'm a news junkie.
