STILL Remembering 09-11-01 - It's No National Day of Service to Me!!!

It probably comes as no surprise to you, that once again our President has angered me. It happens daily, but today I'm not just angry for me - I'm angry for 3000+ American Heroes that have been neatly swept under the carpet. Yes, I'm talking about all those who lost their lives on 09-11-01.

Apparently, Mr. Obama has decided that today will be a big "National Day of Service" instead of a memorial to those who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks. Today Obama and his cronies will be attempting to take 9-11 "back from the right" by making it a day of service. Of course, these groups involved in the National Day of Service happen to be some of the most left-wing unsavory groups out there. Groups involved include ACORN, Color of Change, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Young Democrats of America, and Apollo Alliance. Instead of a day to reflect and remember, this day is being changed into a day of "service," political activism, and media focus on left wing nuts.

No longer do we have 9-11, but a National Day of Service. There is no longer a Global War on Terror with Obama in office, but it is now dubbed the "Overseas Contingency Operations." I've seen slogans all over the web, saying "Never Forget," but all Obama seems to be saying with his changes to this important day is "Please Forget." After all, he's the one that wants to humanize those behind these attacks, make them our friends, give them rights, and ultimately release them.

I am angry for all those who lost their lives, and those who gave their lives on 9-11. To merely be turned into a day of service is despicable. There were heroes that day. Those who helped others escape, the courageous New York City firemen, and men like Todd Beamer on Flight 93, whose response to certain death was a courageous "Let's Roll!"

How can our president overlook the tragedy and the courage that came out of the terrorist (yes I said terrorist) attacks? We can't afford to forget these people who died and we definitely can't afford to forget those who were responsible for those deaths. If we forget, it will most definitely happen again.

I, for one, remember exactly where I stood on 09-11-01 when the first plane hit. I have never forgotten the horror, grief, and anger of that day - and I never will. Today I'm STILL remembering 9-11, and it's no National Day of Service to me. It's a day to remember, to shed a tear, and to renew my resolve to do what I can against terror in the United States by using my vote to get people like Obama and his liberal congressional cronies out of office.

To all those who lost their lives…there are still some of us out here that haven't forgot you. We remember what you did for our country. We remember your death and we remember those you left behind. And…to those who did this…we haven't forgot you either and we're coming! Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday soon. You may have a friend in Obama right now, but that WILL change and as long as there are people like me here, you will never be safe - "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!"

P.S. Take time to watch the videos...and remember!

10 Things that Make You Go Hmmmmm About the "Obama Era"

You've more than likely heard about the things that make you go hmmmmm. Well, I've come up with my list of 10 for the Obama era. Read them and no doubt your response will also be "hmmmmm."

#10 - The Largest Spending Bill Ever - The stimulus bill that was recently passed was the largest spending bill that has ever been proposed and passed. Of course Obama still proclaims he's going to take control of the deficit. Doubtful!

#9 - ACORN Will Never Be Investigated - While there is evidence that ACORN was involved in voter fraud, it will never be investigated - at least not while Obama is president.

#8 - Socialism Has Become a Savior - In the past months all we hear is doom and gloom talk about our economy. However, Obama and his "cronies" always like to bring out that becoming more like Europe (essentially a style of socialism) would supposedly keep the U.S. from going through another depression.

#7 - Obama Has Broken Practically Ever Campaign Promise - In just over a month as president, Obama has broken almost all of the promises that he has made…and people thought Bush broke promises??? So much for big tax cuts, so much for cutting the deficit, so much for transparency for Washington. None of it has happened.

#6 - Many Moderate Republicans Continue to Go Along with Democratic Policies - The party has been destroyed by some of these "moderate" republicans in the past few years. They continue to do so by pushing democratic policies, such as big government and big spending. In fact, some of them even voted for the stimulus bill instead of holding out. If the three republicans in the senate had not voted for the bill, it would not have passed.

#5 - Obama Worship - People literally worship Obama. It's ridiculous. He's just another politician, full of lies, yet many people literally worship him. Not only is it disgusting…it's also very sad.

#4 - The Treasury Secretary is a Tax Cheat - Tim Geithner, who is now the Treasury Secretary can't even deal with his own taxes. He's a known tax cheat, and now he's in charge of the treasury….hmmmmm.

#3 - The Government has Destroyed the Banking Industry and Wants to Nationalize It - It was the government that help to destroy the banking industry. Now they are using this problem to now try to nationalize banks. Like we really need the government controlling banks. They've done enough damage.

#2 - We Now Spend Billions Rewarding Those that Don't Pay Their Mortgages - With the new stimulus bill and the new housing bills out there, people who don't pay their mortgages are getting rewarded. They get a huge break, funded by the rest of us working hard to pay our own bills. Perhaps they shouldn't have purchased homes they couldn't afford.

#1 - Without the Stimulus Bill We Could Have Ended the Recession Earlier - New reports are showing that we could have been out of the recession by the middle of this year. Experts actually believe that the stimulus bill could extend the recession even longer. 2010 may still see us in a deep recession…I just hope the right people get the blame.

Things that make you go hmmmmm!

"I Have a Dream" - Is Obama Fulfilling the Dream or Creating a Nightmare?

Since the inauguration of President Obama has taken place, there have been many blogs and articles written, not to mention newscasts, that mention the idea that Obama is our first African America president. While I'm not sure he actually qualifies as a true "African American" he is part white and part Kenyan, meaning he is the first half Kenyan to take the office of President of the United States.

In any case, this truly has been a historic event. It does prove how far this country has come since the civil rights movement first began to take place. I definitely must sit back and ponder the significance of the event; however, when I look at the man that has been a part of this historic event, Barack Obama, I must admit to being disappointed. After all, I, as Dr. Martin Luther King, had big dreams of how it would be when the first African American became president. I had visions of an African American that really ran on the "dream" that Dr. King once had.

If you take a look at those who were deeply involved in the civil rights movement, the ones that Obama likes to identify himself with, you'll find that they were people of deep integrity. Take the time to research some of the names of those who participated in the civil rights movement. There were men like Jessie Owens who would show the world his character and equality in the Olympic Games in Berlin, even though he was greatly attacked for his color. Of course Dr. King himself was a well respected reverend with integrity and high ideals.

For a minute take a look at one line from Dr. King's speech. Most people don't look far beyond the "I have a dream" phrase. Read a bit further. Dr. King states, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Here is the crux of the matter. People should be judged by their character. We should be looking at the content of character that people have, not the color of their skin. Well, let me ask you this - what exactly is the content of Barack Obama's character? How many people even have stopped to look beyond the color of his skin to ask about his character?

Sure, politicians like to bring up Martin Luther King when he fits their agenda. So, why did we never hear much about the "content of character" where it pertained to Barack Obama in the 2008 election? No one wanted to explore the bad associations of Obama, they only wanted to look at him as some type of "Savior" or "Messiah" figure who they thought would solve the nation's problems. After all, when interviews were done of random people in New York City, most of them knew little of Obama, and many had never heard the name of his running mate Biden. This lets you know how much Americans have been taking the time to judge men by character.

So, what exactly do we know about the content of Obama's character? Well, let me clue you in to what you may not know.

Look at Obama's character, and you'll find that the socialism runs deep. You can't get around it - socialism is a part of his character. The evidence is clear. He has actually had endorsements from socialists groups in past elections that he ahs won. One group, the New Party supported him in 1996 when he was running for a state senate seat in the state of Illinois. This New Party actually is a branch of what is known as the Communist Party USA.

Another thing you'll find out about Obama's character when you take a close look is that he's associated with cheaters. Take a look at ACORN. Obama used ACORN as a part of his "Get out the vote" during this past election. This is a group that has been proven to cheat.

You'll also find that Obama hangs out with thieves - another look at his true character. After all, consider his relationship with the former CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines. This man helped to destroy Fannie Mae and walked away a rich man. This eventually ended up leading to the crash of the national economy. Raines walked away with $90 million in tax payers' money after being fired, then became a consultant on housing issues for Obama's campaign. This is a man that Obama calls a closer advisor????

Take another look at Obama's inauguration festivities. You'll quickly find he's really not a big friend of the poor. In fact, the party and festivities came to more than $170 million dollars. Yes, you read that right! No how many Americans could have been helped with that money? People can't pay their mortgage, can't buy food, can't afford clothing, and this man spends millions on his party. Now that's some character.

Start looking into Obama's close friends, and you'll learn more about his character. To name a few of his friends and associates, you'll find he has had relationships with Tony Rezko, Governor Blagojevich, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright. His role models include socialists like Saul Alinsky. It's often been said that you can tell a whole lot about a man by the company he keeps. Well, Obama's associates speak for themselves.

Sadly in this past election we have seen race become more important than character. Unfortunately, although we have a "half black" man in office, we still have not realized the "Dream" that Martin Luther King had. Character has now taken second place to race. It's sad that today we still have not figured out the meaning of what Dr. King had to say. If you look beyond race to character, Obama definitely comes up short. So, this is no dream coming true for Americans today - it's the start of what I fear will be a very long nightmare.
