Edward Goldsmith believed that the needs of the community should be fulfilled in the communities, not in some huge conglomerate metropolitan area. I don’t agree with him on most things but here I must acquiesce and agree. Living in the Midwest, I see how nice that would be to still have the general store and bakery etc. in our little towns. It was the ease at which we could pick up and go to another, bigger town with more exciting things to do that put us in our cars and off we went leaving our small towns behind. This is one of the reasons why  the small town businesses dried up, not because the car was invented. People chose to go off to a bigger place instead of supporting their local area businesses. they selfishly desired to go be amused, rather than stay home and live a simple life.

This change of attitude, this feeling that we had to have more and better and bigger is not capitalism’s fault it is our misplaced priorities.

So, now you are going to tell me that big brother needs to come in a and fix that. De-develop our nation so we are less industrialized? NO, no no!!! We as a people have to prioritize our lives and let the family be the center. Do without if need be, so we can stay home and be with , care for, raise right,  and tutor wisely our children. Don’t blame this on someone else. We have created spoiled, bored children. we have allowed the TV and game system to babysit and teach them their social skills. we have sent them off to school and expected the teachers to raise them instead of being parents ourselves.  I too have been there with you. Thus My oldfashionedlife.com began and we are here on five acres trying to build the life my grandfather had.

Sadly, we are still trying to hold on to the rat race and finding it difficult to have a simple life. the pull of  materialism is strong and we are far from being released from its grasp. Conservative to me means that we are champions of personal responsibility in all  areas of our lives, even in the area of entertainment. How long has it been since we went outside and threw the football with our son, or had a party with our little girl and her dolls. It’s been too long hasn’t it? How long since we roasted hot dogs on a fire, had hobo (tin foil) dinners, ate smores and watched the stars, turned off the TV and read a book, played a board game, watched a home made puppet show, had a conference call with all the kids and our parents.

All these technologies available today were to give us freedom. Have they done so for our families, or have they separated us from each other? Have they allowed us more time together or have the technologies become our constant companion and distraction from the most important things in our lives?

Our affluence gives us more money for lessons and sports but has that affluence increased the quality of our family relations. If so, you have been a wise steward of your lives. If not, then today is the time to get an old-fashioned family and G_d centered life.

What is it going to take for the common to stand up and put a stop to the minority dictating policy in this country, claiming that evil is good and good is evil, trampling under foot the constitution and the Christian faith?

Will it take anarchy before the people of God stand up and denounce with vigor and vim the progressive religion? Will it take the destruction of the United States, A massive depression, millions more people without jobs and housing, no food on the grocery shelves, no electricity because you can’t afford it, the de-development of our civilization and its return to an agrarian society in order to advance the environmentalist religious fanaticism. What exactly will it take? When will you join the fight for the survival of the Democratic Republic, which is the United States of America?

The left will do anything to get its way for example: http://blog.heritage.org/2009/10/22/morning-bell-a-whole-new-health-care-ball-game/ this is a report on yesterdays little shell game the progressives tried to play. They tried to hide about ¼ of the expense of Obamacare from the public by putting it in another bill.

We must call all our legislators and voice our opposition to this massive power grab by the progressives. This is a move toward gaining control of every portion of your life, from cradle to grave. If they can gain control of your health they can legislate on every facet of your life in order to appear fiscally responsible with your tax dollars. You can’t eat this. You can’t do that. You must do this. And according to obama himself, we’d have to discuss the issue if it were grandma; No, grandma doesn’t need that medicine, that operation, and/or that procedure.

Please don’t be naive enough to think that they won’t do this. They swear, up and down, that we are alarmists and are misleading the American people. When in fact they are simply fulfilling the Marxist Praxis http://www.discernment-ministries.org/TheAspenPaper.pdf

They truly are fulfilling the prophecy of the last days that evil will be called good and good evil as they bash the likes of Glenn Beck and Rush, and Michael Savage, and O’reilly, when they tell us we are clinging to our bibles and guns. When they dismiss the tea party goers and call them communists. When they tear babies apart and call it freedom of choice.

If these thoughts sound fanatical then I wish to admonish you to search your heart and the scriptures, even pray. We are in dire times and for the sake of the salvation of our brothers and sisters we cannot stand idly by and do nothing to bring the truth to light. For if we do nothing we will be held responsible for that which we did not do.

Stand with me. Raise your voice peaceably but with power and conviction. Right will prevail notwithstanding the destruction of the last days.

Just when you think that you have heard everything… Can this be any more obvious… He got what? Why? Who did He pay? Lately I wonder who’s arm did the Chicago mob twist? Is this any indication of the world pressure on democracies to become more collectivist? All these questions crossed my mind from the simple, “Are you kidding me?” to the paranoia induced, “Oh My Goodness they control these guys too?” I finally settled on the idea that the world is so hungry for things to be better that they bought into the hope and change mantra of the Neo-Marxist Obama; just like the masses bought into Stalin.

It sounds good when the leader of the most powerful nation in the world says, “cant we just get along?” After all Kum Bay ya has come back into vogue.

Here’s just a portion of the totally inept progressives plan for America. Blinded by the fantasy of Utopia an estimated 65,000 people came to get their “Obama” Money in Chicago. Two people interviewed by a local radio station thought the money came from Obama and had no idea when asked, where he got it. Congratulations must go out to-the initial progressive brain-child-public education; you have succeeded in raising generation(s) rife with ignorance, unable to process the information around them to come up with an answer to a simple question-where does the president get money to give to you? Totally oblivious to the fact that our democratic republic has been, bit-by-bit dismantled to pave the way for the new world government that the progressives deem so necessary for the success of the future of the world, these illiterate oafs don’t even understand the simple question of where does the government get its money.

The United States democratic republic has been ransacked and turned into ruins. Good has been called evil, and evil good long enough now that a near majority have come to believe that: America is the problem, Capitalism is a mistake, the government will save them.

The gig in Chicago will be “up” when 61,500 of the people that came for money are turned away Because Obama’s piggy bank was to small to give them all a handout. In that instant they will be struck with the concept that maybe government can’t do everything for them. They will dismiss it as an act of those evil republicans that probably wouldn’t let Obama give them as much as he wanted to. They’ll continue to despise the idea of personal responsibility and the progressives will get a box of fish to feed them. All the while, the conservatives will continue to try to pass out the manual, Idiots Guide to Fishing. Though it’s free, the manual will be taken and put on the shelf somewhere to gather dust as the recipient fanatically and frantically tries, by every means available, to find more sources to get something for nothing, never realizing that they have a ring in their nose-with which the progressives drag them to the polls in order to continue the slavery they have instituted. These sycophants will continue to sing praises and create songs to keep their belief in their anointed Obama, lest their allegiance fail and they have to admit that his methods made their lives worse and they as individuals less capable of taking care of their lives.

This Black Liberation Theologist Obama gets a peace prize to boot? The committee either is totally unaware of this mans roots  (http://www.google.com/search?q=saul+alinsky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active) (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22black+liberation+theology%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active) or the entire group has been compromised by a world order that wouldn’t know truth if it jumped up and kicked them in the head.

The forces of good must stand against the forces of evil, for Satan is alive and well in the world. It is the age old battle of the earth until the end cometh and speedily

This portion of an article from The American Thinker strikes a cord in my heart and is our answer. Let it be in our hearts and on our minds, for the few must be vocal, not loud, not angry but consistent, wise, and sane. Please go read the rest of this and pass it on to any who fear the loss of our freedom, or to any who have this little feeling that something is terribly wrong concerning this radical Obama and his henchmen.

There’s a final “F,” the most formidable one, the one taking root and flourishing all across the country:  it’s faith.  Faith in a Higher Power or ourselves or the American system or its people.

The Trauma of Obama

By Robin of Berkeley

Ordinary citizens rising up, like a phoenix.  This awakening might prove to be Obama’s most enduring legacy.

The miracle of a soccer mom attending a protest for the very first time;  an elderly man bravely stepping up to the mike at a Town Hall;  strangers forming life long bonds at Tea Parties or online, at sites like American Thinker.  People like me snapping out of the leftist trance.

In time, the Trauma of Obama may be overshadowed by the Mock of Barack:  people speaking up, from Bozeman to Boise to Boston — and refusing to become one of Obama’s hench men or victims.

When I behold the courage and dignity of my fellow citizens, I recall a powerful Buddhist tale:

The cruelest, most violent Samurai in Japan decides he wants to become enlightened.  He bursts into the home of an esteemed Zen Master and demands that the Master teach him how to become enlightened.

The Zen Master looks deeply into his eyes and says, “No. You are a dirty, vicious Samurai.  I will not teach you.”

Enraged,  the Samurai yanks out his sword and places it right at the Zen Master’s neck.  He hollers, “Do you have any idea who I am?  I am the cruelest Samurai in the world.  I can cut your throat and not blink an eye.”

Without skipping a beat, the Master calmly responds, “Do you have any idea who I am?  I can let you slit my throat and not blink an eye.”

The Samurai falls to his knees, sobbing, overcome by the presence of a man mightier than his sword.

Those of us who are paying attention know the truth.  With our eyes and hearts and minds wide open, we see them; we’re on to them.

Emboldened by faith and righteous anger, we confront the Powers that Be.

Carrying our children’s future; sheltered by the strong arms of our forbearers; awash with grace; we speak in one thunderous voice.

We say,

“We know who you are.

“Do you have any idea who we are?”

(You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.)

(Maya Angelou)
