GI Joes on backorder

As a kid,  my first GI Joe was one memorable Christmas gift.  It came with a wooden box which included several weapons and uniform styles.  Another memorable gift was a space astronaut with a moon walking vehicle.  Major Mason or something like that.  I cannot remember the name exactly.
But what I can remember is that being an army man or an astronaut was something to be proud of.
The space program today is underfunded and we face a decade or more of consequences for it.  Will
it effect the number of kids who wish to grow up and enter the science world?
And today we are witnessing yet another  military budget cut,  this one in large magnitude.  What will the consequences be?   Maybe we face a lack of interest in young people seeking a career in the military.  Will we sink so low that our children's children face a military draft in the event of world
conflict?  Events like Benghazi could very well have a tremendous effect.   America doesn't leave GI Joes on the battlefield. 

To the moon

This December marks 44 years since the Apollo 8 orbited the moon for the first time.  The journey included a radio silent orbit around the backside of the moon less than a 100 miles above the surface.  This accomplishment will go down as one of America's greatest moments witnessed by a television audience.  A collective and bold determination by men and women dedicated to the greatness of America and its purpose in this world. 
What has happened to that America?  At that time we were  racing the Russians.  We outpaced the Russians and became world leaders in the Space Program.  These days we are hitching a ride with the Russians to the International Space Station because we cannot afford the investment.
In 1968 ,  America took a huge step forward as a world leader and we prooved that there was no task that we could not conquer.  Today,  America struggles to avoid a financial disaster,  one that the world has not seen.  A spending machine out of control and out of touch with history.   In 1968 God allowed us to sit in his front yard and look back at earth.  In 2012 we face challanges that can only be conquered by men collectively with the will of God.

Happy Holidays

I think it's odd how the secular crowd uses Happy Holidays to hide from Merry Christmas.  While the Christians are celebrating the birth of Christ,  they grab onto the opportunity for Holiday.  The Santa Clause party.  Time off work,  parties,  and looking at themselves as some deep thinkers who have cracked the code to all of humanity's questions about purpose and existance. 
For people who detest the real meaning of Christmas,  they sure do make spectacles of themselves with time off work,  gifting, and treating themselves to the season. 

Social Insecurity

The best ideas congress came up with to help out working Americans during the great recession was to cut social security tax contributions ,  extend the Bush tax rates, and to extend unemployment benefits to the unemployed. 
I find it curious why they chose to tamper with the social security fund.  Hasn't that money been tampered with enough?.  Is this another way to kick the can down the road?  So if you are contributing less each pay period,  are they promising to make up the difference for your account?
Actually the proposal is to use general revenues that the federal govt takes in to fund the difference.
Americans are not demanding the answers.  Tax withholding has been the life line to the fund and it is gradually being transformed into a general revenue fund.
Wouldn't it have been easier to go with Bush's proposal to fund individual savings funds?
As long as the govt is in control of it,  it will never be secure.

Dreaming of a fiscal cliff Christmas

Im dreaming of a fiscal cliff Christmas.  Yes,  the president described it as a scrooge kind of Christmas.  That's nice.  Everyone needs a threat this time of year to make the season bright.

Making the Season Bright

Don't forget to add taxaggedon to your Christmas grocery list.  Eggnog, coccoa, and taxaggedon make the season bright.

GOP softening?

Why is every headline "GOP softens on taxes"  "GOP softens on opposition of ambassodor Rice" 
I think the GOP is falling apart.  John McCain and Lindsey Graham? 
I hope they stick to their guns,  no new taxes period.  Let the president own this mess.  He is calling their bluff. 

Lets restrain Hamas, not Israel

The president warns Israel to restrain from further ground attacks into Gaza for the safety of civilians.
Thanks to Iran,  the militants have improved capablilities of firing missles deep into Israel,  terrorizing innocent families. 
Why doesn't the president warn Iran and Hamas? 

Black Friday

I wonder if there will be more people who get out to walmart for black friday,  than did for the election.

Drone down

Did I miss the explanation of our drone being shot down by Iran.  We must have invoked it.

You can't beat the house

Don't you know,  you can't beat the house in Vegas.  Like Vegas the left has a card for everything.  Today,  the president got a little testy when being asked why ambassador Rice said what she said about Behngazi.  He pulled out the gender card again.  "You can't question her".  They play the card both ways. 

Disengaged, the mice will play

When the cat is away,  the mice will play .   Our foreign policy is disengaged from the enemy.  The enemy looks for opportunities to act,  and they obviously got Behngazi correct.   Still no action taken,  and a scandal getting bigger everyday.  Don't you know the enemy is watching this closely.

Govt's unconditional love

Unlike God's master plan,  our government has been creating for its own glory and benefit.
God created ,  not for his own glory,  but to put it forth,  and to communicate it.  God's glory
is unconditional.

Does Black History Month work?

Why doesn't Black History month work?  It's an entire month of the public school system promoting the accomplishmnets of black success stories.   Stories of individuals that rose from ordinary life to and made great contributions to America and the world.  These are not stories of community organizing and achieving mediocracy.  Government dependancy is not the message,  but the majority of the black community support democratic policies and big government.   Clarance Thomas,  Condy Rice,  Herman Cain,  and most blacks that support conservative values are constantly attacked. 
It seems most of the black role models are atheletes.  I think that Black History should be about the advancement of black people,  not government and sports.  Perhaps the month would be better served by teaching the ingredients of success rather than a few results.

Jobs in 2013

Just days after the election,  the president says he wants to bring in civic leaders and business owners to Washington to discuss how to create jobs.  A Job Summit?  Really?  Like we don't know how to create jobs.  Sounds like some more community organizing to me.  The only new jobs we will see in 2013 are ones that meet the approval of the federal govt. 

Planned Parenthood

Just when did planning parenthood come down to an agency located on the corner street?  I thought planning parenthood was a fundamental instinct.  An intelligent gene.  The breakdown of the home,
the breakdown of the neighborhood,  and the breakdown of public school.

Election 2012

Conservative values did not fail,  the campaign failed.  Contact your congressman and let them
know that we expect to stick to the principals.
    

an advanced military?

Our president said during the presidential debates that our military has advanced.  We just ignored warning signals from our staff at Benghazi and left Americans on the battlefield.  This is not advanced, this is not American,  this is a disgrace.
