Obama's latest words of wisdom

Don’t you love the latest words of wisdom that were expressed by our illustrious “brilliant” leader?  He said you have to experience a few bumps in the road on the road to recovery with the economy.  He then used the analogy that you might be hit with a truck.  Oh yeah!  Don’t you hate when that happens?  You go flying through the air and wonder if when you come down whether you’ll be in this land or the next.  I’ll take the bump in the road but not the truck.  

This is information that was forwarded to me through E-mail:

In  1952  President Truman  established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer."  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In  1988 President Reagan  designated the First Thursday in May of each year as  the National Day of Prayer.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In June  2007 (then)  Presidential  Candidate Barack Obama  declared that the USA  "Was no longer a  Christian nation."  ---------------------------------------------------------------    In 2009 President Obama  canceled the  21st annual National Day  of Prayer ceremony  at the White House under the ruse  Of "not wanting to offend anyone"    ------------------------------------------------------------------------    BUT... on September 25, 2009  from 4 AM until 7 PM,  a National Day of Prayer  FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION  was Held on Capitol Hill,  Beside the White House.  There were over 50,000 Muslims in  D.C. that day.         HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS!  I guess it Doesn't matter  if "Christians"  Are offended by this event -  We obviously Don't count as  "anyone" Anymore.  The direction this country is headed  should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the  Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated.  This is not a Rumor -  Go  to  the  website  To  confirm  this  info:  http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com    .

Herman Cain's view of Obama

This is an excerpt from an article that I’m preparing for my blog site and Facebook:

Herman Cain who is vying for the nomination to be the Republican candidate for president says that President Obama could not run one of his pizza parlors.  He wasn’t saying that to be insulting.  It’s what he truly believes.  President Obama has never run so much as a newspaper stand.  He has nothing in his resume that would encourage Cain or any other company president to employ him to start at an executive level in any business.  There is only one place where money can constantly be printed to keep a failing enterprise afloat – it’s the Federal Government.  Anywhere else it’s necessary to know what to do to turn a failing business around.  This is what Herman Cain did when he became Chief Executive Officer of Godfather’s Pizza.  For those who didn’t know in 2008 that Obama was so totally unqualified to run the biggest business in the land as President of the United States, unless they have their heads buried in the sand, they should know it now.     

                   
    

Lifespan of Republics

This is something I posted awhile back.  Considering the track this country is on it could be worthwhile to be keeping in mind:

Lifespan of a Republic

This article was e-mailed to me and is on the Internet:

About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in 1787, Alexander Tytler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage."

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million;

Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000

States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2 Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

Don't Blame Bush

From the time I first heard Obama crying about what he inherited regarding the economy my response was to think and say to myself, "This was no inheritance. It's what you brought with you." The Democrats had dictatorial, unencumbered, veto-proof charge of the purse strings during the last two years of the Bush administration. This article written by Thomas Sowell in September 2010 expresses exactly what I've been saying to anyone who would listen:

I also appreciate Sowell pointing out that President Clinton had the benefit of a Republican Congress for the last six years he was in office. Let's give credit where credit is due for the surplus he likes to brag about.

A video on You-Tube is also something that should be dusted off from time to time to see and hear in the Democrats own words who was responsible for the crash in the housing market - click on the Barney Frank pictures:

I would also like to remind Bush-bashers that the Bush tax cuts brought about 54 months of economic growth that was only slowed when the OPEC countries declared economic war on us in 2008 when they gradually brought the price of their oil to the peak of $147 a barrel. We chose to be reliant on them for our oil needs instead of being self-reliant as we could have been.

Check out this video on You-tube by Professor Steve Horwitz on oil:

U. S. Oil Resources

Attorney General, Eric Holder, said we're a nation of cowards. No, but to some degree we are a nation of idiots and in economic straits we don’t have to be in. That is, enough of the populace to put a roadblock in the way of letting us make use of our own vast resources of oil and natural gas. They'd prefer to keep us beholden to hostile foreign nations for our oil needs. Our economy would skyrocket. The cost of energy to run our vehicles, heat our homes would be down and family budgets would be more manageable. Costs of all commodities and travel expenses would be lower. The fear of falling behind paying bills and mortgage payments could all but vanish and the entire economy would flourish. A good example of this is North Dakota where the unemployment rate is 3.5% and their economy is flourishing because of the income and revenue that's coming in through the use of their oil.

Whether the enviro ideologues like it or not, this country uses oil. And the means by which this country mines the oil is likely a lot more friendly to the environment than the way it's done in third world countries.

The United States is second only to Russia in its vast resources of oil and natural gas. The Internet has a world of information about this. Unfortunately, because of federal mandates due to the influence of wealthy environmentalists most of those stores are locked away. Check out the information this link leads to:

Watch this program on You-Tube or go to my post on Facebook "Are we running out of resources?" by Professor Horwitz:

The income and the wealth we would create by energetically producing our oil and natural gas would enable us to ambitiously research and develop renewable sources of energy and provide the hope for a time when fossil fuels would be found to be almost entirely obsolete as a source of energy. We don’t have to keep the country in a state of chaos by keeping oil resources off limits to incentivize us to develop renewable sources of energy.

Not being independent of foreign oil also creates complications with our foreign affairs, especially with hostile Middle East Nations. And the wealth it would create would enable us to clear up our debt to other nations. We currently owe China close to a trillion dollars and Japan 8.6 billion. Iran and Libya, of all places, are also on the list of our creditors.

Obama and oil

Obama says he wants to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by 1/3rd in ten years. He wants to do this by developing renewable sources of energy.


We don't have to wait ten years to get the economy moving. All we have to do is to start to earnestly develop our own vast resources of oil and natural gas. The United States is the second richest nation in the world in oil stores, surpassed only by Russia according to geologists' reports. Check out the information on the Internet this link leads to:  http://oilshalegas.com/bakkenshale.html

It's about the oil deposits in the Williston Basin in Montana, North and South Dakota and Saskatchewan. Geologists findings indicate that there is more oil there than there is in Saudi Arabia. The revenue generated by being energy independent through the use of our own oil would go a long way to provide the funds we need for research and development of renewable sources of energy. We've got the horse behind the cart if we're going to put our efforts into developing renewable sources of energy while we struggle with a stagnant economy because we don't want to tap our oil resources. It's like a family living on welfare while they have a treasure buried in their back yard.

We currently send a trillion dollars every year a half out of this country to foreign nations - some of whom are not very friendly - for our oil needs that we could be producing right here that would put our own people to work.

The very knowledge that we're going all out to tap our own oil deposits would cause the oil producing nations we've been choosing to put our dependence on to immediately start cutting back their prices - if for no other reason but to hopefully disincentivize us from drilling.

We could be competitors on the world market and be reducing our debt to foreign nations by giving them oil to credit toward that debt.

We owe China close to a trillion dollars and Japan 8.6 billion. And, unbelievably, we owe a sizable portion of our national debt to Libya and Iran. What does that do in matters of conducting our foreign affairs?
