For the blinded readers that think that I am a, died in the wool, Republican, here’s a little cannon fodder for you.

But alas and alack, the incompetence and hypocrisy of the Republicans, for the last eight years, they left their supporters disillusioned and the opposition overly wary. Republicans. You don’t deserve to be trusted any more than the liberals. In fact, you are worse than the liberals. You espoused conservative values, yet went a whoring with the power you wielded.

Far better to not know correct principles and be found in opposition to right than to understand the right and blatantly slap  truth in the face, while you prostrate yourself in front of every dollar bill that wants to buy you.

This disillusionment is what threw Hutchison out of office in Texas. Let’s pray that the seething angst still smolders all the way to November. We may get rid of all these “politicians’ and give the legislative houses back to the people to serve their country for a time. At least it will be a new set of “the people”.

Now we’re getting the real story of the tarp legislation. Here’s an example: Higher education in Missouri lamentsa 5.2% cut, because now they wonder what will happen when the stimulus money runs out next year.

Analyze that for a moment. Let that ferment in your brain. What did they say? They fear when tarp runs out, because  they don’t know what they will do.

So, are you saying that, actually, the stimulus didn’t stimulate. Sure, it saved some jobs. How could you give away billions upon billions and not give somebody some work. That’s not the problem. It may have saved a few jobs for a year, but then the money will be gone, without real growth from industry, Industry was not stimulated. the income streams coming into the schools will not have increased, and the government will have to spend the same amount on another stimulus to keep it going.You saw 15 billion dollars more in a “jobs ” bill this last week.

I think of TARP as, buying consumables on your credit card. When you eat the food its gone, but the bill still remains and you still have to go buy more food. It’s a double whammy.

I have asked the question all along, what will happen when the stimulus money is gone? Will the government go back to spending what it did pre-stimulus or will we need to spend the same amount just to keep the appearance of money flowing and the appearance of the economic stabilization façade standing upright?

You have been duped, those of you who believed that TARP was really to “help” the economy, “stimulate” the economy. TARP and the policies of the last two years of bailouts, handouts, and out and out bribes is the biggest expansion of government in our history. It was not meant to stimulate the economy. It was to grow government, plain and simple.

And now the organizations that got the money, look forward and go, “holy crap, we are worse off than we were before”.

Now what America. Trillions more debt, no new jobs, and millions people that want to keep the government giving going, so they can keep their jobs.

What will be the response of the Obama Administration next year? Won’t they have to give out billions more in stimulus to keep the boat with the holes afloat. Where will the money come from?

Michael Krull of Insider Iowa hit the nail on the head.

http://insideriowa.com/index.cfm?nodeID=18005&audienceID=1&action=display&newsID=5661

“To paraphrase White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, you should never waste a good crisis.  The state should use the budget challenges to re-order priorities, combine functions such as purchasing, and eliminate obsolete or unneeded programs or departments, and do the other things that a business would normally do when faced with a similar problem, in order to position the state for the future.

The silver lining of this budget crisis is a vision of a future Iowa that comes out the other side as a more competitive state with a lean and more efficient government that provides higher-quality services at lower cost”.

On the other side of the issue, Krull’s counterpart Arnie Arnesen Claims, “they must not show “indifference” but revisit state fiscal relief and expand essential work projects that create jobs at home and pay state bills”. Just what good ole FDR would say.

Why must we always look outside of our family units and the neighbors we know in order to solve our personal crises? What ever happened to personal responsibility and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps to solve a problem or overcome a crisis?

Thus is the enlightened “progressive” culture we live in. Government, not our families are our solace. Government not our churches are our strength. Government not our neighbors are our keepers. It has become our excuse for not helping our neighbors. After all Uncle Sam is going to come and take care of everything so why should we keep our eyes open and be aware of our neighbors.

Do we believe so little in our selves and each other that we have to look to an entity with which we have no personal bond to save us from our lives.

I thought we were here on earth to learn how to live, be strong and independent yet have a sense of codependency with our neighbors as we face the vicissitudes of life. This is what the French Author Tocqueville saw when he came and studied America, as he tried to understand why it had become such a great nation.  He found us living in communities and creating vestiges of security held together by the mutual compassion of the neighbors and extended families in the community.

You cannot recreate the type of community Tocqueville found with an impersonal government of a country with 300+ million people. We have to go back to taking care of our neighborhoods, watching over our neighbors, and loving our neighbors if we are to save ourselves from the abuse of power of a centralized government that believes it knows better than we do how to take care of ourselves

When I came to Iowa, I was overcome with the neighborliness of my community. I was not used to this. My neighbor came and helped me mow my overgrown lawn; they brought us things we needed without us asking; they graded our driveway when the deep snows fell. And you know what, they had no edict from the government.

The critic of limited government will say. Look around. See the suffering. People aren’t taking care of each other. My response would be, “yes, you’re right they aren’t helping as they should”; however, I have a question for you. Every time your child doesn’t do something exactly right, do you jump in and save them and fix what they messed up? Or, do you allow them to learn and grow, yea verily, fail sometimes that they might learn through their experience.

A wise God isn’t always there to save the children of the world from the evil around them. Were he constantly present we would not develop the characteristics that would allow us in his perfect presence. Are we smarter than God as we set up governments to save us all from the evils and dangers of the world? Or, are we practicing becoming better people by seeing opportunities to help others and then following through and helping those around us?

Isn’t government, as it tries to “save” us all, doing what Satan did in the pre-existence? He told God that he would go down and make sure everybody returned to heaven by making sure they did good (forcing). Satan’s motives were like the politicians of today, “let the glory be mine”, That’s what Ole Scratch wanted. Isn’t this the end result of giving absolute power to control our lives to the government as they force us to do good for all the people around us by distributing the wealth and creating all these social networks to save us?

Just a thought.

This link above is an article From the New York Times that excites me to the possibilities of taking our nation back from, not only the gang from Chicago, but also all the career politicians whose jobs are more important to them than the constitution. Give it a read, pass it on, join a group, and spend some time on the rebirth of America. Your children will call you blessed.

It’s a long article but worth it.

If I might, I want to add my two cents as to the reason for the groundswell of the grass roots movement that is occurring.

Sadly we are “human” We are too busy, too tired, and too lazy. When we see an injustice, we complain about it to our family and maybe our neighbors. I don’t think we feel like we can do anything. We just know that what is happening makes us mad. It’s not like somebody were getting beat up outside our house and we could go out and stop it. It’s out there, out in the big wide world where the problem lies. The “government”. The big, massive, all-powerful entity that does what it does and we put up with it until Election Day.

I think conservatives and thinking people knew who Obama was and thought that somehow old McCain would pull it out in the end and we could go back to sleep for another four years and things would be okay.

Boy were we surprised. Then we got scared when we remembered his words about a massive civilian force to be built and we remembered the brown shirts of Hitler. We watched the government take over majority stalk in a massive private entity, GM. We listened to the cap and trade rhetoric and realized what it was going to cost us. We watched them try to ram down legislation that we didn’t want. All the while, they told us it was good for us.

I‘d like to think God is giving us another chance to keep this nation free and Christian. On the cover of my father’s book it says that each generation must fight anew the foes of freedom to retain our liberty for the next generation. Thus is the fight we find ourselves in. It’s not the French revolution where we are going to storm the Bastille. Our fight will be at the ballot box.

We cannot win that fight if we do what we conservatives have always done. Simply vote. We have to become a vocal group, a tenacious group, a focused group remembering that each day

we are fighting for the liberty of our nation.

People will say that we are conspiracy theorists, or the religious right, or other radical doublespeak name that they can come up with. We have to remember that our founding fathers were radicals, radicals that stood up to and defeated the tyrannical leaders of the commonwealth.

So, I guess if we are to be called names, we will stand beside our forefathers, who with the help of almighty God, did what was right and made us free . One need only read the founding documents including the federalist papers to recognize that these men knew in there hearts that they were fighting on the side of providence. Thus, they had the courage to stand up to the greatest army on the face of the earth at the time and defeat it. And with the help of the spirit write our inspired founding documents.

So, go read them, ponder them, write them on the tablets of your heart, for they are the bindings that hold this nation together and they are being severed thread by thread by a group or groups that have the ultimate goal of subjugating the citizenry to tyranny of “isms”: social-, commun-, fasc-, and marx-.

I don’t know which of these ideologies is at the core of the subterfuge of our freedom; I only know that it revolves around the belief that they know better than God himself, how to make the world a better place; they will force, if necessary, their beliefs upon the masses. It doesn’t matter their motivations. It only matters that they will “by all means necessary”, try to implement their plans.

So this is a call to stand, and to speak, and to not be afraid of what they say about you. Know in your heart that what you say is the truth of eternities; that mankind has those certain inalienable rights spoken of by our founders. Know in your heart that the things they espouse are not based on eternal truth that holds dear the free will of mankind.

I sat, stunned, as Bill Nye and some other pseudo scientist told the world on CNN that, their really is  global warming. The nice little reporter covering the interview had no tough questions, no references to the articles written in the British press about the misleading,  down right lies the IPCC has been engaged in to perpetrate the greatest hoax of history on the citizens of the world.

(please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) remember the Wizard of Oz?

I realized that money talks to these scientists and they need the money of the left to continue to get paid, So they have sold their souls to the eco-commies that are situated to profit from the new green revolution. Following is the addresses of an article in its totale.  go see for yourself and do not believe blindly what you are told on the evening news.

Amazongate: New Evidence of the IPCC’s Failures

The IPCC is beginning to melt as global tempers rise, says Christopher Booker

It is now six weeks since I launched an investigation, with my colleague Richard North, into the affairs of Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the hugely influential body which for 20 years has been the central driver of worldwide alarm about global warming. Since then the story has grown almost daily, leading to worldwide calls for Dr Pachauri’s resignation. But increasingly this has also widened out to question the authority of the IPCC itself. Contrary to the tendentious claim that its reports represent a “consensus of the world’s top 2,500 climate scientists” (most of its contributors are not climate experts at all), it has now emerged, for instance, that one of the more widely quoted scare stories from its 2007 report was drawn from the work of a British “green activist” who occasionally writes as a freelance for The Guardian and The Independent.

Last week I reported on “Glaciergate”, the scandal which has forced the IPCC’s top officials, led by Dr Pachauri, to disown a claim originating from an Indian glaciologist, Dr Syed Husnain, that the Himalayan glaciers could vanish by 2035. What has made this reckless claim in the IPCC’s 2007 report even more embarrassing was the fact that Dr Husnain, as we revealed, was then employed by Dr Pachauri’s own Delhi-based Energy and Resources Institute (Teri). His baseless scaremongering about the Himalayas helped to win Teri a share in two lucrative research contracts, one funded by the EU.

The source the IPCC cited as its “scientific” authority for this claim, however (as Dr North first reported on his EU Referendum blog), was a propagandist pamphlet published in 2005 by the WWF, the environmentalist pressure group, citing a magazine interview with Dr Husnain six years earlier.

Dr North next uncovered “Amazongate”. The IPCC made a prominent claim in its 2007 report, again citing the WWF as its authority, that climate change could endanger “up to 40 per cent” of the Amazon rainforest – as iconic to warmists as those Himalayan glaciers and polar bears. This WWF report, it turned out, was co-authored by Andy Rowell, an anti-smoking and food safety campaigner who has worked for WWF and Greenpeace, and contributed pieces to Britain’s two most committed environmentalist newspapers. Rowell and his co-author claimed their findings were based on an article in Nature. But the focus of that piece, it emerges, was not global warming at all but the effects of logging.

A Canadian analyst has identified more than 20 passages in the IPCC’s report which cite similarly non-peer-reviewed WWF or Greenpeace reports as their authority, and other researchers have been uncovering a host of similarly dubious claims and attributions all through the report. These range from groundless allegations about the increased frequency of “extreme weather events” such as hurricanes, droughts and heatwaves, to a headline claim that global warming would put billions of people at the mercy of water shortages – when the study cited as its authority indicated exactly the opposite, that rising temperatures could increase the supply of water.

Little of this has come as a surprise to those who have studied the workings of the IPCC over the years. As I show in my book The Real Global Warming Disaster, there is no greater misconception about the IPCC than that it was intended to be an impartial body, weighing scientific evidence for and against global warming. It was set up in 1988 by a small group of scientists all firmly committed to the theory of “human-induced climate change”, and its chief purpose ever since has been to promote that belief.

The blatant bias of each of its four reports has been pointed out by scientists – notably the rewriting of key passages in its 1995 report after the contributing scientists had approved the final text. This provoked a magisterial blast from Professor Frederick Seitz, a former president of the US National Academy of Sciences, who wrote that in all his 60 years as a scientist he had never seen “a more disturbing corruption” of the scientific process, and that if the IPCC was “incapable of following its most basic procedures”, it was best it should be “abandoned”.

The centrepiece of the IPCC’s 2001 report was Michael Mann’s notorious “hockey stick”, the graph purporting to show temperatures in the late 20th century soaring at an unprecedented rate – later exposed as a statistical artefact. Another new book, The Hockey Stick Illusion by A W Montford, brilliantly tells the bizarre tale of how Mann’s colleagues, calling themselves “the Hockey Team” and now at the heart of the IPCC, managed to resurrect the discredited graph for inclusion in its 2007 report. Montford’s book, if inevitably technical, expertly recounts a remarkable scientific detective story. And of course, it was incriminating leaked emails between members of the Hockey Team that were at the centre of the recent “Climategate” scandal at the University of East Anglia.

Most disturbing of all are the glimpses the story gives of the inner workings of the IPCC, an institution now so discredited and scientifically corrupted that only those determined to shut their eyes could possibly defend it. This is now compounded by the recent revelations by Dr North and myself in these pages of how its chairman, Dr Pachauri, has built a worldwide network of business links which provide his Delhi institute with a sizeable income.

It is noticeable how many of those now calling for Dr Pachauri’s resignation, led by Professor Andrew Weaver, a senior IPCC insider, are passionate global warming believers. Fearing that Pachauri damages their cause, they want him thrown overboard in the hope of saving the IPCC itself. But it is not just Pachauri who has been holed below the waterline. So has the entire IPCC process. And beyond that – and despite the pleading of Barack Obama, Gordon Brown and the BBC that none of this detracts from the evidence for man-made global warming – so has the warmist cause itself. Bereft of scientific or moral authority, the most expensive show the world has ever seen may soon be nearing its end.

I must respond to an editorial written by Andie Dominick in the Des Moines Register on the 23^rd of January.

He writes, “They sent him (Obama) … with huge …majorities in Congress – … that would help ensure this country would finally have meaningful health reform.

Wrong!!! They sent him to the white house because the Republicans had departed from their conservativism, had spent too much, and had grown government. Another reason is the all out effort of the media to further their liberal agenda, found every way possible to not tell the American people they were getting a radical Saul Alinskiesque socialist. Sorry, as of yet, most Americans don’t want that and spoke their minds in Massachusetts etc.

He continues, “I’ve talked to scores of people who are beyond being frustrated with this country’s broken health-care system.

Interesting that the government will spend a few hundred million dollars that is not theirs on Haiti, The American people will spend, out of the goodness of their hearts, billions; the estimate is seven billion dollars.

Why? Because we are good people and care of our neighbor when the need arises. The government has usurped the responsibility of neighbors and botched the job of taking care of people as they usually do when they overstep their bounds and meddle. Thus the health care system has suffered.

“Obama should demand Democrats finish health reform. He should demand it loudly and publicly and relentlessly.”

Hmmm? That’s what they do in countries that are ruled by DICTATORS. Our governmental trio does not work that way. What you have stated is the mindset of the fascist. You don’t even see that. You hide behind the curtain of compassion, while you rip and tear at the freedom we so dearly love, until the freedom disappears and evil takes over, and you are under its subjugation.

“We all know it is right to take care of the people of this country by providing something as basic as health care.”

And we would do it were it not for the interference of government. We are a good people, following a just and merciful God who teaches us that we should care for the poor. We do not need force to do good, Remember, that was Satan’s plan, which God rejected. Remember? That’s why he got thrown out of heaven in the first place.

Here are the principles that the Republicans espouse on healthcare reform, that the democratic majority will not even listen too. We must demand their inclusion in the process by speaking out loud and long to our democratic brethren, the media, and each other in tea party-like opportunities around this nation.

We, therefore, the People and Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, do solemnly Publish and Declare that health care reform, as a matter of principle must

1) Protect as inviolate the vital doctor-patient relationship;

2) Reject any addition to the crushing national debt heaped upon all Americans;

3) Improve, rather than diminish, the quality of care that Americans enjoy;

4) Be negotiated publically, transparently, with genuine accountability and oversight, and be free from political favoritism;

5) Treat private citizens at least as well as political officials;

6) Protect taxpayers from funding of abortion and abortion coverage;

7) Reject all new mandates on patients, employers, individuals, or states;

Prohibit expansion of taxpayer funded health care to those unlawfully present in the United States;

9) Guarantee Equal Protection under the law and the Constitution;

10) Empower, rather than limit, an open and accessible marketplace of health care choice and opportunity.

I remember when I watched the uncovering of the identity of the emperor in the Star Wars series, I wondered how the federation could not have known his identity. Surely Yoda would have known, should have known. Somehow they missed him. He always said the right thing; while, all the while, he laid his plan in place. He systematically deceived the federation and lulled them into a sense of security.

You might wonder why I am bringing this up on KSENSE. It’s to announce my new name for President Obama. My new name for him is Emperor.

While he preaches hope and change, he institutes de-development and state controlled industries.

While he asks for God’s blessing, he tells the world we are not Christian.

While he swears to uphold the constitution he institutes gun control and the muzzling of opposition forces.

While he tells America they have to be the greatest nation on earth, he bows to Islamic and Buddhist rulers.

While he speaks to troops of war strategies, he tells them they will leave regardless of whether or not the war is won.

While he speaks of tax cuts for the working class, he institutes policy that will cost our grandchildren trillions.

While he amasses the support of the worker, he destroys the incentives of those who would give them jobs.

While he tells us they’ll be no taxes for those making under 200,000 dollars He institutes fees and fines and policy that will extract thousands from our pay.

And we smile and clap and say, “Isn’t great to know we are not as racist as we used to be; because,  we have a black president that calls for hope and change.

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=735624 is the address of an important article. In this article, Newt tries to explain his support of RINO-Scozzafa by saying that she is better than the Democrat. That answer goes to the very core of our problems in government. Politicians compromise at all costs to get a majority. The right does not have to cater and beg the middle-of-the-road-luke-warm republicans. In fact, in catering it dilutes the mission and vision of the Republican conservative party.

Truth does not compromise. If you support evil of any sort you are no better than the perpetrators themselves. The right is constant. The right never compromises. The right I am speaking of is not the right of politics, it is the universal truth of right and wrong. Better to stand with the right and die trying, than to compromise your morals and befriend the wrong. They are not the friend of this nation. They have been deceived by their own selfish greed and the greed and sloth of the  populace, who want something for nothing and should become the victims of their own idleness.

Thusly, it is not the governments job to be charitable. It is the families and churches of the nation. Help from the government  destroys the  freedom of the citizenry and enslaves them in an ever tightening, ever thickening web of complacency until they can no longer move in their little cocoon that the benevolent government supplied for them.

Thanks, but no thanks. I choose to-by the sweat of my brow and the toil of my hands-build my future. Should I need help, it is incumbent upon me to seek out help from my family and my church. This is the way we work in America; or should I say, the way it is supposed to work.

If this nation adopts ideals that are different from those necessary to keep it free and vibrant then we will reap the whirlwind of an angry G_d who set up this nation as a bastion of freedom and opportunity. He will not be happy when we leave his side to walk in strange easy paths and fight against the right.

So we must raise our voices loud and long to penetrate the hearts of those leaving the path of the gospel and following the temptations of a wicked world. If we fail, the nation fails. If we succeed the nation endures. Fear not little flock let earth and hell combine against you when you are built upon the rock of our redeemer, we need not fear anything or anyone.

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.
