A Scary Christmas Carol

Obama Nation, Obama Nation
sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree

Obama Nation, Obama Nation
You are forever changing
Obama Nation, Obama Nation
Will you ever stop changing?

It’s been a year since you began
To fundamentally change this land
Obama Nation Obama Nation
Will you ever stop changing.

First you bought up AIG
Then bailed out Fannie and Freddie
But did you stop after controlling them?
No you had to buy up GM

Obama Nation, Obama Nation
You are forever changing
Obama Nation, Obama Nation
Now you want more changing

You want to change my healthcare now
That’s it! Your change. It stops right now.
My body is mine and mine alone
You’ve overstepped my comfort zone.

Obama Nation, Obama Nation
You are forever changing
Obama Nation, Obama Nation
Please stop all this changing

It is clear to me you need to spend
A little more time with your constituents
It wouldn't hurt to find an easy chair
And read the Constitution while you're there

Obama Nation, Obama Nation
You are forever changing
Obama Nation, Obama Nation
Its time to stop all this changing

All Aboard the Huckabus

The Huckabus steamrolled through Southeastern Michigan yesterday, and hundreds of fans lined up to get a copy of Governor Huckabee's "A Simple Christmas." One hardy young man from the Army, Matthew Witt of Wyoming, arrived in Schuler's Books and Music in Grand Rapids for eight hours to be first to get his book signed with Governor Huckabee. Hundreds of others waited to have their copy of "A Simple Christmas autographed by the governor.

I greeted many of those in line by inviting them to join our new networking site www.teamhuckmichigan.ning. It seems everyone had the same sentiments I did: Michigan and this country needs real change (not the phony bureaucratic jobs kind) Spending our way out of our problems hasn't worked and won't work- not for the individual, not for the State of Michigan and not for our country.

Governor Huckabee has real solutions for this jobless economy we are in. He has long been a proponent of the Fair Tax. I was able to listen to him aboard the Huckabus as he welcomed Dawn Dayton as the new executive director of Fair Tax Michigan. If Michigan would just institute this change, we'd see thousands of new jobs in Michigan. If the country would implement the Fair tax, perhaps millions of new jobs would be created. Fifteen trillion dollars of business is waiting off-shore to come home statewide- if we would remove those hefty corporate taxes and capital gains.

Debra Mantey, my co-coordinator for HuckpacMichigan, got to give a hug to Jack Hoogendyk, former candidate for Governor of Michigan 2006. If Michigan had elected this fair-tax minded man, I guarantee Michigan wouldn't be in the desperate situation it is in today.

My evening ended with a very special treat. Tommy Hanns, owner of nine Hann's Steakhouses, served up his delicious sizzlers to the Fair Tax supporters. He knows, as a small businessman, that the Fair Tax would allow his business to run more efficiently. The waitstaff would be delighted if they could keep the money the IRS now takes.

Maybe what Governor Huckabee is offering is a simpler America. Thats why the line of people was so long. It is what we need.

Should the government determine when I need a mammogram?

Enough is enough! I have been caring for a mother with breast cancer. Her surgery, and after care has been painful and difficult. Breast cancer is something I don't ever want to experience for myself. Early detection has prevented thousands of deaths in this the second biggest killer of women.

Because my mother has breast cancer, I am at higher risk of contracting this disease. My doctor needs to make the decision when I should have a mammogram- not the government! My life may depend on it.

Furthermore, for this government to tell women not to bother doing a monthly self-exam is incomprehensibly negligent and dangerous. Women should not check themselves for possible lumps? Self-examination has prevented thousands of deaths. Just who does this administration think they are? I am sickened by their anti-life policies. They support the killing of the unborn, suggest that the elderly get death-counseling, and now tell women that they shouldn't get mammograms until age fifty instead of forty. This advice may be ten years too late for thousands of women, including me.

Government should leave my health up to me and my doctor! No way do I want nationalized health care. Then I become just a number- and an expendable one.

Storm the Capital-November 5, 2009

In less than an hour, many patriots will storm the capital. I am so proud of them! This acrostic is for you:

Speak loud and clear to Congress, today you are my voice
Tell them we're having a tea party in their honor, that's our choice
Our liberty is at stake
Restrain the spending, for this country's sake!
Mean it when you say, "we cannot afford this!"

Tell them "It is our money you plan to spend."
Hear us Congress "no taxation without representation!"
Encircle their offices and roar louder than before!

Confront them and state you will protect seniors
Add that you will fight to protect the unborn
Pause and pray that the Lord will guide you
Inform Congress "You work for us"
Tell them you will not sit quietly by as they destroy the economy
At stake is your health, and your children's heath
Lead on, knowing I am praying for you now

Proverbial wisdom

Last night, November 3, I watched the election returns with a new found hope in my heart. Emily Dickenson said "Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed, to comprehend a nectar requires sorest need." Conservatives needed a win and the night did not disappoint.

Congratulations Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And it came beautifully wrapped up in a three-tiered package of Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli. When the race was called for Chris Christie I saw knew that New Jersians were tired of blue solutions. I saw Christie as offering a conservative solution that New Jersey residents were hungry for. They needed jobs more than empty promises. Seeing New Jersey turn red was a great way to start this holiday season.

The night showed us a path to winning- by pointing out how we can fix problems. It serves as an example as to how we will reclaim America, one state at a time. To the pundits who say this is not a foreshadowing of the conservative wins in the future I say read Proverbs 18:2

2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

More Proverbial Change

In regards to the behemoth Health Care bills being proposed by both houses...
What good are they if they fail to do what they set out to do? If they are enacted and our premiums go up? If they are enacted and we lose two million jobs? If we pay more and receive less? Both bills are examples of Congress being out of touch with what the people want really. The documents are just the pontifications of pondering politicians wanting to pocket our money in their own potshards. Just like that last sentence, congress needs a K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid!

The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?
Ecclesiastes 6:11

Proverbial Change

I have been reading the Bible through in 90 Days. The more I read Proverbs on this chilly election day of November 03, 2009, the more I see how Gods word is relevant. There is much relevance in the ancient words of wise King Solomon who gave him wisdom. The verses I read are good for my own correction and for my country. So beginning today, I'll select a passage or verse from the Bible and apply to what I see going on around me. You can tell me if what I see as applicable is of any worth.

Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

I went to the polls today at noon. I was number 152 to vote in my town of 22,000. It was a pathetic turnout as usual for a "non-Presidential" year election. What was important was a new millage to build a new community center costing 15 million dollars. The old center is just fine. Not spiffy, but functional. This juncture would cost each resident hundreds of new dollars in taxation. Our streets are filled with for sale signs and foreclosures. Hundreds of neighbors are out of work. Our elderly citizens are just getting by.

I see danger ahead, and do not believe this is the appropriate time to place a new tax burden on my neighbors. The simple "dead-heads" keep going and we are going to suffer for it.

Live on Fox News

My bumper stickers were waving high in the air, behind Mike Huckabee and Neil Bortz. If you saw the clip they were waving right along with the Fair Tax signs. The night concluded with Mike on base. It was an absolutely, unforgetable and amazing day.

Mike explained how the Fair Tax can save our nation from bankruptcy

The SC Fair Tax Rally

I couldn't believe how fortunate I was. The Fair Tax organizers shuttled me over by luxury tax and gave me front row seats to hear Neil Boortz and Mike Huckabee. They kind of look the same from the back lol.

Onto the Fair Tax Rally

I gave out my bumper stickers to the Fair Tax Organizers (They are available for sale on Craig's list Michigan)

I was just loving this

The crowds grew larger

Uncle Sam Took the Shirt Off My Back

Familes turned out

I asked this family if I could take their picture. The green sign below says "Free Markets-Not Free Loaders". The sign in the back says "Where did the money go?"

I found many people of like minds

The troopers were watching to see if anything crazy was happening. But nothing was. Just an incredible outpouring of peaceful dissent.

Tea Party

On April 15th, I attended a tea party in Columbia, SC. The first parking spot I found was at the corcer of Senate and Bull St.

A Prayer at Passover

Today is Good Friday, a time when Christian’s believe that Jesus shed his blood, to cover sin, and free people from its guilt and condemnation. Today Good Friday falls in Passover week, just as it did two thousand years ago. Passover is a time when the Israelites were spared from the angel of death by the lamb’s blood covering their doorposts. Without the blood covering, the firstborn of every household in Egypt died. Christian’s believe without the blood covering people are certain to die an everlasting death.

Today I see at least ten plagues besieging America. We are succumbing to them of our own volition. And many of us are succumbing to the angel of death, because of them.

Ten Plagues Visiting America

VIOLENCE: There has been a total disregard for human life in our society. The most dangerous place for a person to be today is on the womb. There were 3,639, 842 abortions in 2008. Compare this to the total combat causalities in Iraq: 3,426 since the war began in 2003. There is virtually no outcry for the unborn in comparison. Nor are we safe from predators outside of the home, or abusers within. There were 16,204 murders in 2008. Compare that to the 230 murders in the United States one hundred years ago, in 1908. Incidences of domestic violence numbered almost a million last year.

GREED: The Almighty dollar, or the worship of “Mammon” as it was called in Egypt’s day, has superceded the worship of God. God has been removed from our pulpits in favor of PC messages. God is not given preeminence in our family life. God has been removed from our schools. Sadly, it is more important to gain earthly riches than eternal ones.

LIES: History is being revised- our Judaic-Christian heritage is being removed as politically correct police patrol our airways. No longer can you trust the news, it either deliberately commits lies, or fails to report things accurately by omission. We were just told yesterday, by the White house, that our President did not bow to the Saudi Arabian King. Did we not see him bow with our own eyes? (please see previous blog at http://cherishamerica.blogspot.com.)

LUST: Pornography is rampant. It is not safe to watch television with your children in the prime- time viewing hours. Some have even argued that pornography should be allowed in public libraries (Just ask our assistant Attorney General)

GLUTTONY: Just think of how Americans consume a holiday meal. We overeat, and do not share our extra portion with the world. We feast while the world is experiencing famine. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed, and one-third is starving.

SLOTH: Many Americans are just plain lazy. Our new zeal for socialism believes it is the government’s job to provide for our citizen's needs-not the citizens themselves. There is a growing sentiment that the poor are entitled to the wealth of the rich.

ENVY: Very few people are satisfied with what they have. There is no limit to what is enough for the “Joneses”. At what point is enough, enough? Judging from the mansions of the rich and famous, there doesn’t seem to be a limit.

PRIDE: We are way too focused on the outward appearance- we know more about Britney Spears than we do about our Attorney General. We spend more time shopping for shoes then reading.

SICKNESSES: Sicknesses like the pestilences of old are prevalent, I challenge you to find a family that has not been touched by its deadly hand. This plague is everywhere: we see it evidenced by AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and addictions to alcoholism and drugs.

DISINTEGRATION OF THE FAMILY: From Ann Coulter’s Book, Guilty, we learned that:
Of all single mothers in America, only 6.5 percent of them are widows, 37.8 percent are divorced, and 41.3 percent gave birth out of wedlock…Controlling for
socio-economic status, race, and place of residence, the strongest predictor of whether
a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent.”

So on this day when blood was shed to atone for our sins, let us pray together:

Father forgive us for our sins of commission and omission. We have perpetuated many of the plagues upon our country, or stood silently by as others committed them. Forgive us and wash us in your covering blood. Amen

America’s golden idols, just like Egypt’s golden idols have no power to protect us from the ten plagues besieging America. Think of the billions spent on protecting us from the violence. Think of the billions spent on healthcare from the diseases that could be prevented.
One day Egypt was the wealthiest nation on earth. The next day, she watched hopelessly as her riches were carted away. Egypt’s pathway led to death and destruction of a once powerful society. God will not bless a nation in a perpetual state of sin. We need to repent- turn away- and turn towards God who provides a culture of life not a culture of death.

Cherish America

I felt compelled to begin a blog today, as I cannot stand to see the America I love cease to be a free, independent nation and merge into the multinational abyss of politically correct expediency. I am watching my country go from being strong and free, to weak and defeated -although she has lost no wars. She is losing the war of words. And our very sovereignty is at stake.

The changes seem to come in tiny myopic bits. But like snowflakes that comprise a blizzard, they are not dangerous by themselves. It is when they bind together that they become a dangerous storm.



This week, I saw our President Barack Obama "bow" to the Islamic world. It seems like a minor gesture. But in the Muslim culture it is not. Obama bent before the King of Saudi Arabia, a sign of submission. In fairness, President Bush kissed the the Saudi King.But I hold that this type of deference is not befitting a President of our United States.
