1. All elected officials, both Federal and State, should be given term limits
2. Illegal Aliens hurt the American job market, hurt the economy, and break the law
3. It is immoral to forcefully take from one group to aid another group
4. America should not bail out companies, big business, or banks
5. Communities do a better job with social uplift than the government ever could
6. More people get on welfare than get off welfare, the system don't work!
7. Politicians should not go into congress poor, and come out millionaires (suspect)
8. If a person earns it, he has a right to keep it!
9. Americans must depend on the government for roads, local government for public safety
10. Legislation for or against gay relationships or abortion, should not exist. Cannot legislate morality. Gay marriage cannot exist, because it does in fact open doors for all 'other' marriages. It is better to dissolve the influence of marriage period before include it beyond man and woman
11. Government should not force people to pay into a system period (social security), but leave it up to the individual
12. Racism did, does, and will always exist in America...no legislation can fix it
13. Poverty did, does, and will always exist in America...no legislation can fix it
14. Despite a lie from a "dumb ass president," all Americans want clean air and water
15. Racially, we are more divided now, than we were under the Bush years
16. America has no business in foreign countries that do not harbor terrorism against Americans
17. America should not depend on foreign oil when we have our own
18. High taxes are a problem, and Americans should only pay taxes for roads-public safety-public schools. Everyone hates the IRS!
19. We all care about education, our next generation, and our future
20. We all generally believe we have a right to keep the money we earn

This map was compiled from documents at the United Nation’s Geneva Headquarters in 1994. The following map was produced and shown to the United States Senate as they prepared to vote on the Global Bio-Diversity Treaty. The Global Bio-Diversity treaty was ready to pass until Congress saw the map below. The treaty failed because it could not be brought to the floor for a vote. The good news is that the treaty failed…The bad news is this program is being implemented aggressively through ICLEI as Sustainable Development/Conservation Programs.

"Unfortunately, a lot of people in the so- called civil rights community are frauds, outright hucksters.
Two of the worst: civil rights activist and MSNBC host Al Sharpton and Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson. Their goal: demonize white people, especially conservatives like Bill O'Reilly, so they don't have to deal with the real problems that continue to plague the black community."

democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse
from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes
for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury
with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal
policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the
world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years...” Written about the

Owners
of the plants have been squeezed by regulations forcing expensive
pollution control upgrades at the same time cheaper sources of fuel have
rendered the plants unprofitable. In the next two years, legal
decisions affecting roughly two-thirds of the state's coal-fired power
plants are expected to determine whether those plants have any future.
PORNOGRAPHY
I
would add Soap Operas on TV, reality shows with romantic emphasis like
the Bachelor or Bachelorette, and the false imaginary of musical
performers set up by the star making machinery. I remember Elvis and
Tom Jones. It's porn, no matter how you cut it. Fantasy. Unrealistic.
Damaging to fulfilling relationships. Demonic.

Having been a part of 3 different church plants, I can testify to this. It's brutal and much more difficult than it looks.
From time to time I see a
church plant and have a sense I should go help.... then I recall...
pain and suffering. IF you think of
planting a church, and you should, you need to read this. It will help
you get a grip on what you are about to do. I used to organize classes
for Carnegie. Roll into a town, work for six weeks and have about 40
people who paid to be part of the group. That was easy compared to
church planting. Yet it is important... just don't believe all the
press releases from the instant success stories. They are never really
true.
Passings
I
learned today that a college friend of mine who I have kept in touch
with for many years died in JULY. He had visited me last fall and told
me he was having health issues. Blood disease. This is the way it is
as I get older. People I care about are beginning to leave this life. I
am not yet 70 but the number is beginning to grow. Nothing to be said
except, hug them while you can.. you never know. I did.
I don't care that his best topic in high school wasn't Geography
, I DO
care that the AP dutifully praises the emperors new clothes. SMH
In case you were wondering where the Gun Control politics comes from,
it comes from our masters in China. YESSS MASSA...
Was this a case of stand your ground??
No sorrow for one less miscreant

MOST, of Detroit residents lack even the basic skills to hold down a full time job
A
recent evaluation is MOST, yes MOST, of Detroit residents lack even the
basic skills to hold down a full time job. It's the soft skills they
lack. Showing up, courtesy, working a full day, not spending all your
time on the phone, respecting your boss.
These skills are culture based and not trainable by industry. The
idea that a company should instruct an unmotivated potential employee on
the importance of actually showing up sorta on time is never going to
happen. I think some basic soft skill training could be done in
churches. After all an employed person can pay a better tithe... HMM?
. A sure fire path to bankruptcy.
What
do most of these ailing cities all have in common? Well, consider that
the vast majority are located in states with forced unions,
non-right-to-work states with mostly democrats leading them
I’ve thought about this and thought about this. And I don’t care to have my name attached to these thoughts, as I’m currently a teacher, but I need to express them.
We, as a society, mandate that all children must be in school until 16, and we must provide educational opportunity to the willing until 18. If there’s an IEP in place, that age can go as far as 21.
A school in which I used to teach was failing. Is failing. Has always failed. Our staff was more than 50% non-traditional teachers. We had a strong core of Teach For America and Teaching Fellows – neither of which pull in your regular “he who can’t? Teaches” anecdotes. Most of us were “wanting to help where we can” folks.
We couldn’t make a dent in that school.
The only reason that the 60% of the kids who bothered to show up daily even came to school was for the 2 free meals and the climate control. We needed a force of 15 security people to keep the kids IN CLASS. They had no desire to learn. They did not CARE if they failed. I never, ever had kids who started at my school as 9th graders and had enough credits to be juniors by their third year. Most didn’t even have enough credits to be sophomores. And this was when summer school was free!
Most of my 33 student classes had a regular showing of about 20-25, and it was never the same kids.
Those that did come were usually passed up to their current grade based on age – after all, who wants a 16-year-old boy in classes with an 11-year-old girl? No one. And we can’t just stop them all in 9th grade! Why, it would be full! So, I had kids who read at 2nd grade level to 11th grade level, with math scores in the same range. All in the same classroom. About 60% of the time.
Now, there were the other issues. I didn’t see them in my room, but we did have some mongo fights in the school. We had fires (never had to have drills because we had fires). Anything we didn’t have nailed down got stolen. But that’s all secondary. Mostly, I liked my kids a lot. I got along with them very well. I even taught some pretty good science when I had seniors – kids who had cared enough to slog through 4 years of prison-without-bars, as they called it.
The primary issue is that these children (and their parents) have no vested interest in education. If they merely showed up to school, I was required to pass them. The D’s in my class were really F’s, but I gave them D’s because they showed up enough that I knew failing them would do them no good and would only get me in a world of trouble.
They look at school as something that is done to them. Something that they are subjected to. Sure, all kids kind of view school like that. But when the family is not saying that it’s their job, when they simply don’t see that school gets them anything? There will be no successful school with these children.
By the way, most of the children we had swapping in and out of our EMO-run (like HMO only E for Education!) public school went to a local charter. That charter has since failed.
What really scares and saddens me is that this is where the argument on education reform is centered: on these kids who WILL NOT SUCCEED. I’m sorry. They won’t. The public school system I teach in has plenty of escape routes for kids with parents who care: from charters to special admit public schools. And most of those special admits? They succeed. Because the kids who don’t care are forced to leave.
(Don’t look at me like that. Most of those special admit contracts aren’t even academics-based. They’re attendance and behavior (no fighting) based. I teach at a school like that now. And it works.)
So these fat politicos go around slamming the teachers at these under-performing schools. Fine. Whatever. I could always go back to computer programming. But what got me was the great gobs of money that were shoved into that failing school. My school now? I have to buy my own equipment. All of it. I’m currently saving my Amazon dollars to buy calculators for my room, because school calculators are only for math classrooms. There? We had 35 Hooke’s Law experiment setups, just as a case in point. Chemicals, balances, optics, electronics, you name it? We had it. If great gobs of money are making it into the classroom, you’d better bet that there’s skimming off the top. In fact, when the school was being taken from its EMO partner because it was STILL failing 7 years after the EMO took it over, the local politicians got slammed for back-room deals where they were trying to take over the school. Those who didn’t have their hands in that cookie jar were just lining up to get “those poor public school tortured kids” onto the rolls of their charter schools.
It was something I was very familiar with. The charter schools would sign in, say, 100 kids in September. The checks for those kids clear from the state sometime, I’d say, around December. Because by January? Those failing kids were sent back to my public school. We’d get 20 kids back from the charters, and we could not turn them away. The reasons were myriad: truancy, tardiness, uniform violations, sass. Nothing the public schools can expel for. But the charters can. Meanwhile? I wonder if they report to the state that they dropped Suzy Sunshine off their rolls, and she’s now back in the public school system? I wonder what happens to the rest of the money?
There HAS to be a reason that all of the politicians in this big city are lining up to have their own sponsored charter schools. And I’m betting altruism has little to do with it.
So, to recap: The big comprehensive schools are failing. And it is not surprising. But many of the other public schools are not. And letting politicians have yet another way to steal money from the people is bad.

Alcohol warning for older drinkers
Researchers said alcohol interventions were not working for older people
Many older people are damaging their health by drinking too much, north-east of England researchers have warned.
Newcastle and Sunderland University academics explored why people aged 65 to 90 drank above recommended levels.
They spoke to 53 North East men and women in the age group to learn more about their attitudes to alcohol.
The researchers have called for changes to the recommended safe drinking levels for people in the age group and for there to be specific alcohol advice.
The researchers, who carried out interviews and focus groups, said many people did not recognise themselves as heavy drinkers.
Dr Graeme Wilson, from Newcastle University's Institute of Health and Society, said: "Many older people are drinking to a level that is having a long-term impact on their health, even if the damage they are doing is not always immediately apparent."

2 Year Old Daughter Seized By State, Dies in Foster Care
http://downtrend.com/peterbraun/2-year-old-daughter-seized-by-state-dies-in-foster-care/
Sunday, August 04, 2013
IF YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING, NOTHING WILL CHANGE... NOTHING
This is about change for your life, but it is ALSO about what it takes to change a broken culture. You can't legislate real change. You can't mandate change. We can make real lasting cultural change. Those who think it takes generations don't understand, it can be done in a few years IF we understand the process. I heard this today. The process of Change that actually works.
From least effective to most effective, here's how change happens:
#5 CHANGING BEHAVIOR Anyone can change behavior for a while. Pharisees do this all the time. That's what laws try to do. It's why the Gun laws are so foolish. Outlaw guns and you have behavior change until it become meaningless. Unless a person is changed they will kill you with a hammer, a club, a knife, an axe, or just beat you to death. Behavior change changes nothing. It has to come deeper.
#4 CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. LOCATION. This is what happens when you try to change people with forced busing as was tried during the 70s; Nothing changed. You will have a Beverly Hillbillies situation if you try to change people by placing them in nicer environs. IF the heart hasn't changed it will reflect their hearts soon enough. It's critical to understand that sprucing a place up or giving someone a really nice place to live won't do a thing if they are the same inside.
These external efforts always fail. It's what government has tried to do again and again. That's what the projects were supposed to be all about. That's what Section 8 was all about. Give people a chance to change locations and they will do better. Not if the inside hasn't changed.
For real change to take place we must be changed from the inside out.
#3 ABILITIES.. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Who you are is made up of your ability, skill. It's not enough to have impartation which is hearing about something, you must have understanding at the skill level. It's like knowing all about flying an airplane in theory, but never having flown. It's all imparting knowledge until you do it. Then it becomes understanding. Theory VS Practice. Too much information, not enough understanding the old song says. It's true. A person to change must have mastery of skills and abilities that help him or her define themselves as a person. Without that they are undefined and cannot change. This most of the time comes from within and people's desires drive them to excellence.
#2 CORE BELIEFS... CORE VALUES What do I believe as true. This is where the rubber begins to meet the road. You can have a skilled person, disciplined in behavior and living in a good location and yet have a person who is unable to make progress because they believe lies. This is where it become essential. The lies we take in will put us in chains. There are cultural lies, political lies, media lies and yes, theological lies. Some are told to us by our parents. It's hard to avoid. So we agree with them because its acceptable to do so. UNLESS a person's core beliefs and values change they will not change. They will remain stuck. The search for core values is essential for every human being, and whatever you decide is true will shape you. You will become what you believe. Show me your life and I can tell you much about what you believe is true.
#1 IDENTITY... WHO AM I? Once a person has moved thru the process of the other four steps to change the last one is the greatest hurdle. Who am I, why am I here is the quintessential question all of us must answer. The lower you set this bar, the less likely you will break out of your situation. Theologically the answer is eternal. Its the here and now that gets to be the problem. Who or what do you most identify yourself to or with. IF that is a negative model, you wont' make it. This last hurdle can stop you dead in your tracks.
IF you think about the gang-bangers who we are all so concerned about, the transformation needed to get them to change for the better is much more than behavior and environment... as important as that can be as a first step. It's critical to help them develop skill (not education), a new set of core values that reflects what they hope to become and re identification with something different from what brought them there.
The broken culture we have in the USA, White Red Black and Brown is directly as the result of a failure of people break away from what has trapped them. You want someone out of poverty, out of gangs, out of drugs, out of bad relationships, out of a cycle of dysfunction? Then start down the pathway to change. There is no other hope. It's not just about Jesus, that's a start. I have met many wonderful saints of God TRAPPED in a life they want to break free from, but one of these is holding them captive. Break FREE!!
We Will Not Be Disarmed: Switzerland Warning Against Obama Regime Stuns Russia | Obama
The “main tactic” being used by the Obama regime against its top military leaders, according to the NDB, has been the leaking of their private emails by the NSA/CSS as revealed by Snowden whose leaked documents prove that US intelligence operatives loyal to the Obama regime have been tapping everything done online by all Americans.
Of the greatest concern to the NDB, however, this GRU report says, was the Obama regimes targeting this past week of the renowned American statesman, retired four-star general in the United States Army, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 65th United States Secretary of State, Colin Powell, whom the NSA/CSS has threatened with the release of his private emails alleging an affair with a Romanian diplomat, which is the same tactic used to destroy the reputation and career of General Petraeus.
Unlike General Petraeus, however, this report continues, the NDB in their report note that General Powell has secretly notified the Obama regime of his intention “not to go down without a fight” and which led to forces loyal to the Obama regime opening fire on and destroying two F-16 fighter jets nearing Washington D.C. airspace Thursday evening (23:00 hrs EDT 1 August) believed to be headed towards the White House.

Even though this was a couple of years ago this is the type of insanity that goes on here in our Little Bubble called Detroit! I remember when this happened, but this type of crap goes on everyday in Detroit Politics this is the true definition of Liberal Insanity! Anybody that is from the Metropolitan Detroit area is used to this type of craziness being spewed from these people! If Detroit was a Soap Opera it would be called "As Detroit Turns" because this is the reason why Detroit is in the condition that it's in today because of all of these Looney Tunes running it straight into the ground!
Bring on the FEASTS of GOD
I am
observant. Not Jewish. Not schizophrenic. Just observant. Every fall
I have moments of remembrance about the upcoming feast days. I observe
them. i also observe Christmas, even though in reality it has almost
nothing to do with the Birth of Jesus, I observe and call the day
EASTER even though every year I am subjected to catcalls for doing so by
those who insist it has to do with a pagan
Egyptian god. I don't do this from the position of a religious
responsibility or legalism, but out of awe for the God who created this
all and told those who He chose that this was important. Yes this is a
New Covenant thing or you have to tear all of Zechariah 14 out of the
Bible to miss the overflow. OK, not that harsh. And if you are into
tearing chapters out of your Bible, and think this is a gobbledy gook,
you might want to get rid of Leviticus 23 where the Spirit of the Lord
says this is an eternal feast to all generations. All in the ancient
Hebrew tongue sorta means in the Gene's concordance--- ALL. So it it's
OK with you, I will remember the day of MY atonement at the Cross with
special solemnity. Mark the New Year and attach some willow branches on
my booth along with remembrances of the day of Harvest and his dwelling
among us. I will also bring a Succot offering to the Lord. Will I be
harmed by all this? Probably not. Are these dead works? I don't think
so... other than it Works so far. BUT IF you choose to do this, don't
do it other than out of respect and honor, not out of religious
obligation. Heck, you shouldn't even go to CHURCH that way.
Fall in August... not that bad
I had
always said that if we could have the mild Illinois winters (mild by
Dakota standards) and North Dakota Summers, cool, dry and 70s for highs
and 50s for lows every day, life would be perfect climatologicaly
speaking. We are NOT that far from that today... have hardly run the AC
this summer and was out of town when it got hot. Our Electric bill is
HALF what it was a year ago.
Why do these things always end up dead end in extortion?
I have companies I
go to that happen to be run by certain ethnic groups. If I want my car
repaired, I will go to a Mexican repair shop. They just do better. If
I want body work done, I go to an Anglo
shop. They are well run. If I want landscaping done I hire the Local
Hispanic guys, they cost more but they do a great job. If I want
Pizza.. yup, Italian. If I want my house repaired I hire that Irish guy
I know. He gets it done. If I want clothing made, a Korean guy I know
does a great job, A local lady who does my clothing repairs is Chinese,
When I need plumbing done, that Polish fellow from across town is the
call I make. Now to be fair, this is only one guys experience. I don't
believe for a minute that ethnicity has anything to do with it. They
are just really good at what they do and I call them to get the things
done I need done. IF I want Ribs, the place on west Madison in Chicago
is where I go. If I want soul food, there is a place on the south side I
frequent. I don't think Mexican Ribs even sounds good. SO, when I saw
this article, I thought, OK, who then is this company? What do they
have to commend them other than race for this work? What history is
there? What competence have they displayed. That is how these decisions
must be made, not by the color of their skin, but the competence they
possess.
IF you wait ten years you will be ten years behind your calling. GO.
I am
exhausted with people who question and disparage their situation
(trapped, stuck, discouraged, done, sick of it all),,,, that kind of
thing. YET, when I press them to ask them the key question, "What are
you going to stop doing or start doing that will break you out of this
cycle?". They get angry. They think I am being accusatory. I would ask
that of my sons. I would ask that of my siblings.
I would ask that of anyone who I care about. One person I know well
said, "I feel like I'm at a dead end. I can't seem to make any
progress. I have to figure out some way to get out of this." This
person is not married. In their 20s. Could afford a couple tanks of
gas. Has a vehicle. Owns some clothes. All this person needs to do is
pick a direction on the compass they have always wished to go, and GO.
Aimlessness is a disease and you can be aimless just staying put waiting
for something to happen. Well, here's a truth, not all change ends up
being improvement but this I guarantee, unless something changes, there
is NO Chance for improvement. Zip. Nada. Stuck and Stasis are the same
word. Get in the car and go.
Also, in this economy, the old people are the only ones who still have money.
THE
YOUTH DEMOGRAPHIC: “Highly overrated.” NBC wants to replace Leno with
someone younger and “edgier.” Only problem is, nobody watches those
guys. They do watch Leno. Is there a broader lesson here?
