Yesterday’s theme!
Taking up on yesterday’s theme: Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime is a good way to posture the debate of the Republican Presidential Candidates in New Hampshire last night. It is really exciting to think that one of those fine people might become President in 2012. It is also exciting to think about the others that have not announced they are running!
Each candidate spoke with a confidence in America and its people, instead of confidence in what big government programs can mean for the people.
I thought John King of CNN did a great job and, yes, it was fair and balanced by that network. There were no gotcha questions that one would normally think would have been the norm in that type of format.
My footnote from yesterday’s FORUM read: The field on the Republican side will be impressive. Who ever becomes the candidate we must insure the Spirit of ‘76 is projected loud and clear because once in a blue moon, once in awhile, once every now and then and once in a lifetime, we have a real opportunity to make history! Greatness is here. We just need to look for it in a truthful way.
The field was impressive. Each candidate started to use the theme of liberty and worked into their answers the purpose of the foundations that America was built upon. It was refreshing; it was encouraging and it was something that we haven’t witnessed in over two years in a public format by political hopefuls.
Mitt Romney said it best. The President has failed the American people. I thought the American people were fairly represented by the participants that asked the questions in New Hampshire. That, in itself, was the most positive part of last nights debate. The questions demonstrated that some people really get what is going on. It also demonstrated that people want results, but more importantly they want answers.
This is what revolution is all about. It doesn’t have to be mob activity or political thugs threatening others to get the desired results. It doesn’t have to be one party rule, because recently one party rule wanted to tell you what and when to do it. I did not hear any candidate outline any program where government was the answer and government was the decider. This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Mitt Romney again said it best when he said there are many people up here tonight and we have all presented ideas. Where are the ideas that the president is supposed to have?
Ron Paul came off with ideas on how to get America solvent again and Rick Santorum looked like he could lead with a reasoned approach.
Newt was strong and he had his instructional hat on. I wish he would keep it on all the time. Former Governor Pawlenty had a good foundation to work from and he explained how his experience would work in the presidency. Herman Cain was great. He was sensible and would bring sensibility and a certain discipline to the presidency again. Michelle Bachman announced that she was going to make a formal announcement of her candidacy this week. I believe she would make a great candidate, because she can hold her own. She was the first to say that Obama would be a one term president.
Only once in a blue moon do you have experienced, well-balanced people, with no baggage, talking about ideas and ideals in front of millions.
Only once in awhile do we get to see people evolve from great beginnings to even greater positions by talking about their ideas without getting ridiculed.
Only once every now and then do we get to view what could become the most important election in the history of elections.
Only once in a lifetime do some people get a chance to put it all on the line for their country. Our forefathers did that with ideas and ideals. We saw the start of that last night!
There will be at least six more people entering the race. Former Governor John Huntsman and Rudy Giuliani are two that will announce soon.
I am beginning to think that if one of these people becomes president; wouldn’t it be great if each of the other candidates for the nomination became part of the administration? With each of these candidates espousing free market principles, love of country and the importance of liberty and freedom, we would come out of the Obama catastrophe very quickly. It would be an instructional moment.
Just consider that Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime do we get an opportunity to send a message and right the wrongs that have been created by the Party that always wants to go in the wrong direction.

A footnote: Contact the person you like most and ask what you can do to help them win! It is now clear that each person we watched last night is more qualified and has had more experience than the current occupant in the White House.

Once in a ......
Monday – June 13, 2011
Once in a ……..
You have heard all the old expressions: Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime. These lines should be a part of how we approach, view and conduct ourselves in the 2012 election.
Once in a blue moon, we are presented the opportunity to elect a true leader that will correct the failures of the Democrats the Progressive Liberal and don’t forget the failures of President Obama.
Once in awhile, we all must take part in the process, own it and dedicate ourselves to make it work.
Once every now and then, it becomes necessary to revive the spirit of ‘76 and act to bring about a revolution, not only in ideas, but in the ideals that our forefathers set before us.
Once in a lifetime is all we can stomach of the failed policies of the left the progressive liberal and the type of president Obama has turned out to be.
Last week, I began to detail the main reason, in my opinion, why President Obama should not be president and why he doesn’t deserve another term in office. The question I asked last week was: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? I believe that this President does not believe in fixing what needs to be fixed, because he does not believe in the power of America, its greatness or the foundations upon which America was built.
In looking for the right candidate or the picture perfect candidate, we must not forget the most important aspect of victory; this is unity. It takes unity of spirit, unity of mind, unity of dedication and unity of ideals to win. I cannot predict who the nominee will be, nor can I predict if it will be a woman or a man. What I can predict is this; if unity doesn’t occur, then we will be in for another four years of failure and another four years of descending down that slippery slope that we are all far to familiar with.
I have had many conversations with liberals about their liberal agenda about how they organize and for what reasons they organize. Here, in the State of Michigan for example, there is a petition to recall the Governor. A newly elected Republican Governor is a threat, because he is reducing the small business tax. This approach, for instance, is felt by the liberals to take funds away from education. What the liberal doesn’t understand is that when start up businesses are encouraged to open or existing businesses are challenged to grow due to pro growth policies, because of incentives and low tax rates more people will be hired. When more people are employed, more people will be purchasing the items they need to live on. When this occurs, more tax revenue is generated. When more revenue is generated, more state funds can be given to education.
What the liberal hopes for is that business is demonized for making a profit. However, when profits are made, more revenue is generated up and down the revenue channel and this includes taxes. It’s the same old story, demonize the rich, and the poor will vote for Democrats. What the poor don’t realize is that when more revenue is generated, businesses grow. This creates the opportunity for a state to afford the programs, in real time, that help the poor when they are in need of help. It doesn’t make any sense to keep the poor - poor or to prohibit the investment that a state, like Michigan, can and always has made to help those who need the help.
I had a conversation with a golf buddy over the weekend and he asked what I thought about the known Republicans who are now in the race. I answered his question and then went on to say who I think will really shake things up if they get in. I thought of Governor Rick Perry of Texas and former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.
He was not aware of Perry. I said Governor Perry has had the most success in applying free market principles in his state, Texas. However, he is now being criticized by many on both sides for wanting to hold a prayer meeting for other State governors. I said with all the success he has had how does a prayer meeting threaten anybody? Part of the Spirit of Revolution, in 1776, was how prayer and faith in your God was sought by those who wanted to be free to pray. The left and some in the Republican Party seem to think this is a threat.
I went on to talk about Sarah Palin running on the Republican ticket. He felt she will be harmful to the Party, because of the way she talks and projects herself. I said she is polarizing, but who isn’t these days? I asked what has she ever done to you and or anybody else? He couldn’t answer that question. No one can, when asked!
Once in a blue moon, once in awhile, once every now and then and once in a lifetime, a candidate comes along that we know about. Rick Perry is one of them. We know his track record and we know about him. The State of Texas has record high employment. The State of Texas has one of the lowest Small Business taxes in the country. The State of Texas has a real and continued revenue stream. We know, for the most part, that there is no dirt on him, because he is squeaky clean.
Once in a blue moon, once in awhile, once every now and then and once in a lifetime a candidate comes along that we know about. Sarah Palin’s life is now an open book. We know where she came from. We know how long she served as Governor. We know she was successful in many endeavors as Governor. We know in detail all there is to know about her 24,000 emails that she wrote as Governor, because the New York Times solicited their readers to review the e-mails for dirt. We now know there is no dirt and we now know there won’t be, because she is squeaky clean.
Many Americans are asking for a squeaky clean politician. Many Americans are asking for politicians to be truthful. Many Americans, even some Democrats, are asking that there leaders clean up Washington and make it work for them. Once in a blue moon, once in awhile, once every now and then and once in a lifetime we might have a real opportunity to make history and elect a person with all the attributes that I just spelled out. Don’t count a Perry or a Palin out. Don’t let the fact that someone wants to pray or someone can’t, in your opinion, speak the way you think someone should. Don’t let these small things ruin a chance to usher in a true leader that knows the story of freedom and liberty.
Tonight is the New Hampshire Republican candidate’s debate. All those who have thrown their hats into the ring will be present. This debate will clearly bring a front runner into focus. We must make sure, going forward, that the leading candidates focus on what the spirit of America is and what the Spirit of ‘76 means to liberty and our freedom.
Don’t be fooled by big ideas or big new programs, because we now know that they never work. Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric. I will support the candidate who believes in hard work, less government, lower taxes and the can do spirit that many have forgotten about.
If someone promises hope with change, I will ask you how all that hope and change has worked out for you?

What have I been saying?
Friday –June10, 2011
What have I been saying?
This week I have stressed a particular thought that I believe has gone unnoticed and that many do not realize. The thought I had was: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix?
This thought came to me last weekend and it has stuck with me all week long. When you look at the failures of what a seemingly intelligent man the President has had I can only come up with two conclusions. Most of what we have seen in the last two years has either been done on purpose or it has been done out of shear incompetence. Either way the President has failed to provide what is spelled out in the first paragraph of the Constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
How can I say this; our general welfare has not been promoted and the blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity have been violated! Our domestic tranquility is now in question and justice in our legal system is non existent. When our forefathers opened with the words of “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union” they did not intend for the progressive liberal to discard the document for an agenda that would change the fabric of America itself.
This week the New York Times broke with a story that 24,000 emails were being released by the State of Alaska. The emails were from when Sarah Palin was Governor. The Times story went on to actively recruit any of their readers who were interested in reading the emails in order to find news worthy stories on Governor Palin while she was in office. In other words the Times are looking for dirt on Sarah Palin.
All the liberal news organizations such as the Times have now violated every ethical standard of news reporting and the responsibility of reporting the news as it happens. The clarion call by the Times of recruiting any one interested in reviewing the emails should be condemned and should be challenged by legitimate news reporting agencies.
Never before in our history has this been done and never before has the news media set their target on one particular private citizen in this way.
I had a conversation with my grocer today. He was appalled at what is being reported on the economic front. He was concerned over the president’s policies and his lack of - in his opinion “appropriate economic polices.” He started to discuss what some of the other candidates are saying and he snickered at the thought of Sarah Palin. I asked why the snicker, his eyebrows raised and he said “you don’t know?” So I questioned him further. His comment was that “she is not qualified to be president, let alone run for president”. I said she was a successful Governor and she doesn’t back down. I asked him, “What has Sarah Palin ever done to you or any other American?” He stopped and thought about it and said nothing. I said now you are right. I continued to discuss how Barack Obama has done more to harm every individual in America and America itself in two short years than Sarah Palin could do in a lifetime. He said “I now understand what you are saying she has done nothing to harm me or even you.”
I went on to tell him about the Times story and he was bothered b y the thought that a News Paper was targeting an individual that has done nothing and who has not even committed a crime. He then said “why go after Palin there is enough on Obama to last a lifetime”. We both laughed; he had to get back to work and I had to buy dinner.
When I ask the question: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? I am speaking about Obama. When I ask the question again and take the word don’t out and put the word do in its place I might be talking about Sarah Palin or anybody else that uses the word liberty and freedom in the same sentence. The President to date has not done that. When I ask the question again I think about the candidates that say we must reduce taxes, reduce the regulations placed on business, reform entitlements and restore America to its former greatness by reducing the footprint of government on our lives, I think of Sarah Palin. When I think about how these thoughts seem trivial to some I think about the greatness in our country that has been lost by this President and his team.
The media never did their due diligence on candidate Obama and anyone who asked them to do it was still ridiculed and labeled an extremist or racist. If the President believed in fixing what needs to be fixed he would have condemned the Times for what they are doing and he would have supported the freedom that gives people like Sarah Palin an opportunity to discuss the issues in the way that she does. The president hasn’t and this is why he doesn’t believe in fixing what he has been asked to fix.
Jefferson said two things:
In a letter to Thomas Seymour in 1807 he wrote: “The press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood.”
In a letter to William Lambert in 1810 he wrote: “So long as [the principals of our revolution] prevail, we are safe from everything which can assail us from without or within.”
When I read these words I think of one person saying them and another ignoring them. I will let you determine that for yourself and have you come to the conclusion that I have come to and that is she might not be so bad after all.

A point of view:
Thursday-June 9, 2011
A point of view:
In considering the question of the week: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? When you consider the Progressive Liberals point of view and the Conservatives point of view there is no in between as to what the opinion is and what the results have been.
The Presidents point of view on the economy is that “blips will occur.” He said this week that he is not “concerned about a double dip recession.” David Axelrod, the Presidents chief outside political advisor and chief word crafter, said that “this election will not be a referendum on the president, but rather a choice over the prescription of choices the Republicans offer.”
My point of view is this: Under this President, a majority of Americans have lost their home or real equity in their home. Many Americans biggest investment is their home and we are being told that home values will not start to rise again until 2015. Under this President, there have been 30 consecutive months of 8% or higher unemployment figures. We are told that this is the new norm. Under this President, there has not been more than a 2% growth in the economy in two and a half years. Again, we are told this is the new norm. Under this President, our deficit and debt have grown. It will take 390 years to pay back the 14 trillion dollars we owe, if we pay it off at 100 billion dollars a day. We were told that we can spend our way out of the recession. The conservative voice said no we can’t, because it has never worked - this is not ideology, it is fact. Under this president, we have borrowed more money only to give it away to other countries, such as Greece and Portugal to bail them out. We are told that without bail outs people will suffer. This has been the failure of many countries since the 70’s. Moody’s is now threatening to lower our country’s credit rating. Under this President, we have borrowed more from China than ever before. In five years, the amount of interest that we pay on our debt to China will be bigger than their entire annual defense budget. Under this President, the country has wasted nearly two and one half years in answering the country’s healthcare needs. The Supreme Court will now have to answer the legality of the Presidents premier piece of legislation that, in the end, was forced upon us. Under this President, this week’s new jobless claims were 427,000 people who filed for first time unemployment claims. This data shows us one thing; the economy is still in deep trouble. Manufacturing is slowing, housing is not improving and confidence in the economy is again at an all time low. This is not just another blip or bump in the road this is the result of the president’s failed progressive policies. This is the result of his progressive belief in big government and big government programs. In the end, these programs will always rob us of our liberty our freedom and our wealth.
When I posed the question this week, I also offered the proof that the President doesn’t believe in what he has been asked to fix. Although this is my point of view, you must also realize that the proof is again on display for the nation to view.
When I posed the question this week, I also wrote about Congressman Anthony Weiner. There is something terribly wrong with a person who sends naked photos of himself to women he never has met. There is something terribly wrong with a person who has fallen from grace and won’t admit that there is not only an ethical problem, but a moral problem, as well, and step down to get the help he needs.
I am not comparing what the President has done to what Weiner did, except to say that both of these men have failed and do not recognize that there is a problem and that they are the source of that problem. Both of these men have been asked to fix something. Both of these men can’t fix it, because they don’t believe in what they have been asked to fix.
The President has gotten everything he has asked for in the way of legislation and stimulus. All of what he asked for he got and all of what he asked for has only made things worse.
My point of view is that when our public officials fail legislatively and morally they must step down. When our leaders put ideology ahead of the country’s best interest it becomes incumbent upon the citizen to do something about it.
Jefferson said two things: “The resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.” and “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
The words and lessons of history are far too often forgotten. The words and lessons of history are far too often used for convenience, but not practiced for the good of the nation.
When the words and lessons of history are forgotten by those that serve, we must remind every one that it becomes the citizen’s duty to speak up.

A footnote: This is my point of view. Your point of view may be different. If it is, do me a favor and review the facts and then try to convince me that my point of view is wrong!
A point of view:
In considering the question of the week: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? When you consider the Progressive Liberals point of view and the Conservatives point of view there is no in between as to what the opinion is and what the results have been.
The Presidents point of view on the economy is that “blips will occur.” He said this week that he is not “concerned about a double dip recession.” David Axelrod, the Presidents chief outside political advisor and chief word crafter, said that “this election will not be a referendum on the president, but rather a choice over the prescription of choices the Republicans offer.”
My point of view is this: Under this President, a majority of Americans have lost their home or real equity in their home. Many Americans biggest investment is their home and we are being told that home values will not start to rise again until 2015. Under this President, there have been 30 consecutive months of 8% or higher unemployment figures. We are told that this is the new norm. Under this President, there has not been more than a 2% growth in the economy in two and a half years. Again, we are told this is the new norm. Under this President, our deficit and debt have grown. It will take 390 years to pay back the 14 trillion dollars we owe, if we pay it off at 100 billion dollars a day. We were told that we can spend our way out of the recession. The conservative voice said no we can’t, because it has never worked - this is not ideology, it is fact. Under this president, we have borrowed more money only to give it away to other countries, such as Greece and Portugal to bail them out. We are told that without bail outs people will suffer. This has been the failure of many countries since the 70’s. Moody’s is now threatening to lower our country’s credit rating. Under this President, we have borrowed more from China than ever before. In five years, the amount of interest that we pay on our debt to China will be bigger than their entire annual defense budget. Under this President, the country has wasted nearly two and one half years in answering the country’s healthcare needs. The Supreme Court will now have to answer the legality of the Presidents premier piece of legislation that, in the end, was forced upon us. Under this President, this week’s new jobless claims were 427,000 people who filed for first time unemployment claims. This data shows us one thing; the economy is still in deep trouble. Manufacturing is slowing, housing is not improving and confidence in the economy is again at an all time low. This is not just another blip or bump in the road this is the result of the president’s failed progressive policies. This is the result of his progressive belief in big government and big government programs. In the end, these programs will always rob us of our liberty our freedom and our wealth.
When I posed the question this week, I also offered the proof that the President doesn’t believe in what he has been asked to fix. Although this is my point of view, you must also realize that the proof is again on display for the nation to view.
When I posed the question this week, I also wrote about Congressman Anthony Weiner. There is something terribly wrong with a person who sends naked photos of himself to women he never has met. There is something terribly wrong with a person who has fallen from grace and won’t admit that there is not only an ethical problem, but a moral problem, as well, and step down to get the help he needs.
I am not comparing what the President has done to what Weiner did, except to say that both of these men have failed and do not recognize that there is a problem and that they are the source of that problem. Both of these men have been asked to fix something. Both of these men can’t fix it, because they don’t believe in what they have been asked to fix.
The President has gotten everything he has asked for in the way of legislation and stimulus. All of what he asked for he got and all of what he asked for has only made things worse.
My point of view is that when our public officials fail legislatively and morally they must step down. When our leaders put ideology ahead of the country’s best interest it becomes incumbent upon the citizen to do something about it.
Jefferson said two things: “The resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.” and “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

The proof is right in front of you:
Wednesday – June 8, 2011
The proof is right in front of you:
This week I have been asking you to consider this thought: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix?
This week, the President has made news as Congressman Anthony Weiner has also made the news. The presidents approval ratings are now in the tank with over 51% of the people polled disapproving of the president’s performance. 51% of New Yorkers in his district Brooklyn say that Anthony Weiner should not step down.
When you consider who is in office and who is doing what in office, two names pop up, Barack Obama and Anthony Weiner. Both are progressive liberals and both have used their power to enact a progressive agenda. I wouldn’t have a problem with a progressive, if they engaged in intellectual debates over ideas instead of coming up with ideas to enact progressive legislation without the process of debate.
Today, a U.S. court is considering the question of the constitutionality of Obama care. The arguments today will begin the process of sending the case to the U.S. Supreme Court for a decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare. At issue is this: does the Government have the right to regulate the purchasing inactivity of a private citizen and does it have the right to mandate that a private citizen purchase a product or service?. This question would not have come up had the President and the Congressman not forced the law down the throats of private citizens through the process of House and Senate rules. The debate did not occur because the power of pushing a progressive agenda ruled the day.
Today, the President said that he is not concerned about a double dip recession. The reason why the arrogance of this president is now becoming apparent is because he has no plan in place to improve job growth and economic growth, because he doesn’t believe in what he is being asked to fix.
Today, Anthony Weiner said he will not step down. The reason why the arrogance of this Congressman is now becoming apparent is because he didn’t want to fix his problem. I believe he needs some serious counseling which he could have gotten. The moral question is out of the debate because he is a progressive and we cannot use the word moral in the same sentence with progressive without being called a racist a homophobe or even worse an extremist.
In these two cases both men have elevated themselves above the debate because both have supporters who make it possible for them to be elevated from the debate. The President has the Unions because of the money that was given to them by the president through TARP and stimulus. Anthony has his supporters in New York who refuse to see the moral side of the Congressman’s actions against him because the congressman made sure that his constituents got all the aid and all the entitlements they want. Some say the Congressman is a good progressive. Some of the Congressman’s supporters are now saying that the Congressman deserves an apology from America!
In both cases these two men have violated the moral the legal and the proper plan with using regulation and/ or the power of the office to either push a progressive agenda and/ or to ignore the will of the people.
I have said all week long: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix?
The President could change his ideas and could meet the level of compromise that is needed not only in coming up with a budget but also in governing for the benefit of all. His Ideology prevents him from doing this because he does not believe in what he is being asked to fix.
The Congressman could step down from office and demonstrate the respect that all he serves deserves. He won’t because he doesn’t believe in doing the right thing. The other reason is he got caught but the lies are of no significance to him because he is only interested in the power that comes from holding office.
The proof is now right in front of you. You can choose to go down the road that will keep these types of politicians in power or you can choose to go down the road that will reduce the opportunity for these kind politicians to gain the power they enjoy. The proof is right in front of you, just look for it and listen for it.

Stand by your Man!
Tuesday – May 7, 2011
Stand by your Man!
Today, Matt Damon the actor said that he is standing by his man Anthony Weiner.
Today, new figures on the economy were released. Today, the Chairman of General Motors said he is concerned about the economy and the government’s ability to maintain it’s current spending habits. He also said that what we need are jobs so people can go out and buy the cars that we make. Today, Austin Goolsby, an unreformed Keynesian and the president’s top economic advisor and the one who was in part responsible for the design of the stimulus packages that this administration invoked on the tax payer, said that he is going to leave the White House and return to academia.
Today, James Carville said that there will be civil unrest in the country over the bad economy he said it is now eminent.
What does all this have in common with today’s FORUM and what did I ask you to consider in yesterday’s FORUM? It is this: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? It has everything to do with liberalism. Anthony Weiner lied and he is asking to keep his job. Matt Damon is a Hollywood liberal who supports any liberal cause and any liberal who might be in trouble, due to indiscretions. James Carville also a liberal has supported many liberal causes and got one liberal elected to the presidency. His pal, Bill Clinton, also had issues with indiscretion. Mr. Carville and many others have said in the past that these things are personal matters and that we shouldn’t be concerned with what happens in the bedroom.
Austin Goolsby is leaving his post, because he can and he is guaranteed a job even though he personally wrecked the U.S. economy with Keynesian economics. He will now have the ability to mold young minds about Keynesian economics!
In each case, the man mentioned is liberal. In each case, the man mentioned had something to do with taking the country further to the left. In each case, the men mentioned do not believe in the greatness of America, because they want to change it into something that it was never intended to be. In each case, the men mentioned has worked to push a liberal agenda forward.
The Obama Administration is now scrambling. They do not know what to do with an economy that is going to go into another recession. To some it is termed a double dip recession. The policies invoked have never worked before, but that doesn’t matter, because with each liberal administration the country moves further to the left. Each liberal that is allowed to serve brings with them the desire to break down the traditions and the morals of America. Liberals want an America that thinks it is ok to take part in the things that Congressman Weiner got involved with.
I am not making a moral argument, nor am I excusing him because of what he did. However, I think that his behavior is not normal and I think that he needs serious counseling. However, what I am more concerned with is the desire on the part of liberals to let the lies that he made go unchecked, because he said he was sorry and he apologized. This type of lie made by this type of politician is more dangerous to America than a James Carville was, or an Austin Goolsby will ever be.
The President has said nothing about his chief mouthpiece Weiner who supported every policy of the president. Where does the president stand on the morals of those who serve the people and him? Where does the president stand on the advice that he might have gotten form Anthony Weiner? The problem is when someone lies the truth is lost. When someone lies there is evil.
The president said about the economic numbers today “in better times the numbers would pass without comment” this is also not being truthful. This president has not been upfront about his past and even his past relations. How are we able to trust the President, Anthony Weiner, Matt, Austin and James when we know they have not been truthful with us? I would say the same thing about the Republicans, but today the Democrats have a liar in their midst and they do not want to tell the truth or even face the truth.
So when I ask the question: how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix? We must consider who is serving and what the agenda really is. It comes at no surprise to me that this country is not only financially bankrupt, but it is now morally bankrupt! Matt Damon should be asked the following question when is a lie a lie and when does a lie ever become ok to tell? I know Mr. Weiner asked himself this question and he, too, could not give the right answer. When there is a lie there is evil.
The American people are now speaking - the president is down in the polls, behind some republican hopefuls, no lie. The American people are tired of hearing the president and all the men who stand by their man saying we and I when things are good and then saying them and they when things get rough, no lie.
Our leaders are not entitled to redefine the morals of the country. Our leaders are not entitled to redefine the culture. Our leaders are not even entitled to entitle others to do the same.
When you are asked to fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix then the lies begin and the evil eventually makes itself known!

A footnote: One story about a founding father, George Washington, was about him telling a lie. There is much debate about the actual story of him cutting down the Cherry Tree and saying to his father “I cannot tell a lie.” Story or not Washington knew about the evils and what good morals were because the culture then demanded that people know the difference.

Did you ever consider this thought!
Monday – June 6, 2011
Did you ever consider this thought!
I took last week off, but I was still listening to and watching the news. As I listened to the bad economic outlook, I started to consider a few things. As I listened to the Weiner affair break, I started to consider a few more things.
What I started to consider and what I am asking you to consider this week, as I publish the FORUM, are how can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix?
This is a question and this is something to consider. In my last FORUM dated May 30, Memorial Day, I ended it with this footnote: “Practice the patriotism that we recognize today. Recognize the honor that those practiced to keep you free - and then consider where we go from here!”
I was listening to the President last week address a group of auto workers who are unionized at the Chrysler/Jeep plant in Ohio. The president was pontificating and trying to illustrate with verbal comparisons from one analogy to another describing the economy. Then he said it. “The economy took a big hit, if you got hit by a truck it would take you a while to mend. That’s what has happened to the economy it is going to take sometime to mend” - “There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. We’re gonna pass through some rough terrain that even a Wrangler would have a hard time with.”
His comments were met with boo’s! But the words were lost in the moment as the media did their cover up. The words he chose defined the definition of the President. What I am asking you to consider is how can someone fix something, if they don’t believe in what they are being asked to fix?
I just got done listening to Congressman Anthony Weiner defend his actions of sending lewd pictures of himself to a number of woman including a college student whom he has never met, on line. He said he is truly sorry for lying about sending them, because he was embarrassed. He took full responsibility, but did not resign. I don’t have to illustrate the hypocrisy of his comments, because if it were a Republican this particular Congressman would be the first in a long line demanding his resignation from the office that does require an oath. This Congressman would be the first to say how can someone perform in office and do the people’s work, if he is embroiled in such an affair?
In both cases, arrogant and hypocritical men have been asked to fix something that both men do not believe in, because they do not believe in the greatness that they have been elected to uphold and to fix.
If the president believed in restoring America, he would have said only an American made Wrangler can climb the hill that we must, so that we can together repair the lost greatness in our economy and in American Automobile Manufacturing.
If the Congressman really wanted to serve the people, he would have done what a real patriot would have done, if caught in a lie. He would have resigned, because he would have realized that he cannot be trusted to serve the people any longer.
But these are liberal Democrats. The rules don’t apply and they believe in the words: do as I say, don’t do as I do. These are liberal Democrats that believe in peaceful orderly transitions. A transition to what, we can only guess, but what I do know is we must start to consider the question I posed at the beginning of today’s FORUM. How can you fix the problems when you don’t believe in what you are being asked to fix?
Take a moment to consider today’s thought, because I will have more on this tomorrow!
