The Forgotten Dream

 "When we allow FREEDOM to ring- When we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, free at last, Great God a-mighty, we are free at last".

   -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.- ("I Have a Dream" speech, circa 1963)

   

    Dr. Martin Luther King was a TRUE leader. He lead his people, black America, out of segregation, discrimination, lynchings, beatings, burned black churches and murdered black children with his peaceful actions and his genuine words. He saw his people endure the most horrible things any man, women or child should EVER experience on this earth. He saw young black men lifelessly swing from a noose of white hatred and never sought out murderous retribution. He saw devilish/corrupt white police officers beat, rape and burn young black women and never aimed or fired a bullet in their direction. He saw churches, full of little black, AND WHITE, children burned to the ground, hearing the screams of agony over the crackling of the burning embers, and never planted a bomb or threatened another man's family in retaliation. His weapon was his pen... his target, a sheet of paper.. and the blood, replaced by ink. His bullets were words like "Dream", "Freedom", "Equal" and "God". His mission... replace the hatred, bigotry and terror with HOPE, FAITH, UNITY & CHANGE. He knew, with a passion as hot as the fires of Hell, that the only way this country would begin to heal would be through peaceful action and strength in numbers. We were on the path to his dream... sadly, we have taken a U-turn and have fallen back into the division that tainted an entire generation of Americans. 

   Since Dr. King's speech, there have been many that wanted to be like him, but for the wrong reasons. Most have sought out financial gain, TV time and book deals. Forgetting the struggles that many still face, they only seek to build their net worth while leaving their communities behind. All of them will constantly quote, emulate and resurrect the general verbiage of Dr. King, but NONE will push themselves to stay true to the values Dr. King so bravely DIED defending. Some of the biggest and most recognizable symbols of this false movement are Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton. These men work in the same way a "news" organization like the "National Enquirer" works... they take an generic news story that involves both a black and white person (usually men) and they start to mold their storyline of what TRULY happened into it, around it and off of it until that clay starts to resemble a KKK hood, a burning cross or a burning church. They then try to interject themselves into that community, that story and that family and begin to feed the Mainstream Media a story of hardship, racism and HATE. This being America, the liberal Mainstream Media devours this story and begins to INSTANTLY make assumptions (usually against the white person in the story). Then, as things start dying down and the Attention Deficit Disorder viewers start to lose focus, Sharpton and Jackson disappear like a thief in the night and move onto the next sculpture. 

    In 2008, the country was ready for change as it was in 1963 when Dr. King gave his speech. We were ready for a black leader that would actually lead ALL of America in the right direction. That is when Senator Barack Obama began his journey to the highest political office in the world... President of the United States of America. He really hit the ground running and was someone that most Americans (as shown by his very high favorability ratings as a candidate) saw as a new kind of leader. He ran on the spirit of Dr. King's Dream. He used words like "HOPE", "FAITH", "UNITY" & "CHANGE". Some even became his slogan words/phrases. He said "HOPE for a better day" in his 2008 Primary election victory. He repeatedly referred to his FAITH on multiple occasions. He stood tall on his view of UNITY by saying "...there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America.There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America..." going on to say "...We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America." and by also using the phrase "Yes WE Can" as his main political slogan. He, lastly, continuously repeated the word CHANGE during every speech he gave. He, as an intellectual/longtime student, took the "power" words from Dr. King and molded them into his speeches. The only problem with emulating a man like Dr. King, is you MUST adhere to those values to a T because it will be very easy to quickly figure out your ulterior motives. This was evident with newly elected, President Obama.

   It became very clear, soon after Barack Obama was elected President, that race was a very important issue with him. He was even sworn in as President on President Lincoln's Bible.Here are some snippets from his book, "Dreams of my Father",  that exemplify his obsession with race:

• "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

• "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

• "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

• "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

• "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

   Barack also mentions race, color of skin and creed in a large portion of his speeches he has given (Before and During his Presidency). Since he has become President, we have had a few incidences of racial/civil unrest due to the aforementioned Reverends, Sharpton and Jackson, interjecting themselves into an issue that had nothing to do with them. 

   On February 26th, 2012 a young Black man, Trayvon Martin, was shot and killed during an altercation with a Latino man, George Zimmerman. Before the facts had been released and, sadly, before the body had even fallen cold, Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson were already shouting about racism. Their media avenues, MSNBC and CNN, jumped quickly on board and began the speculation train. Now, please remember... I DID say Mr. Zimmerman was a LATINO, correct? YES. Well... the media began spinning this as a WHITE on BLACK murder to increase their ratings. This story began to spread like a wildfire that had just been soaked with gasoline. In March, in his very FIRST remarks regarding this wildly overblown story, President Obama made a very personal and unscripted remark that began the media frenzy yet again saying "...If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon...". This remark was fueling the racial overtones of the media's plot. This remark was made as an opening for him to interject his racial beliefs on the American people in a time that we needed unity... not division. Through the months leading up to the trial, as people became more and divided, Obama was silent. He made his remark and slithered into the underbrush and watched the blood from racial feuds, yet again, drip on this already tainted soil. He did so with the mentality of an arson who stands around to watch the home he set ablaze burn to the ground. "The Hoodie", what Trayvon Martin was wearing when he was shot, quickly became the symbol of White on Black racism. People claimed that he was profiled as a thug because he was wearing "The Hoodie". Crowds gathered in cities all over the nation as people shouted "Justice for Trayvon" while they wore their Hoodies. Black celebrities began to weigh in on the shooting and just kept flaming the fire of hatred. From the public outcry, fed by the racial speeches, came the charge of second degree murder on Mr. Zimmerman. After a very long trial, filled with the prosecution repeatedly mentioning race, a jury found George Zimmerman NOT guilty on ALL counts. This is when the trouble began. I live in Central Florida, just 40 minutes from Sanford (where the shooting took place) and I was scared for my life. As soon as the verdict was read, I heard reports of riots, shootings, fires, etc... I was fearful of leaving my home from all the treats I was seeing pop up on social media and news. The "New Black Panthers" placed a bounty on George Zimmerman's head (Dead or Alive) and made no qualms with stating that they wanted to eliminate ALL white people. It took a long time for that fire burn itself out, but just as it did... another "racial" incident slowly tightened that noose back around the nation's throat. 

    Racial uproars started again on August 9th, 2014 when a police officer, Officer Darren Wilson of Ferguson MO Police Department, shot and killed a strong arm robbery suspect, Michael "Mike" Brown. Little was known at the time of the shooting other than a white officer had shot and killed a young black man. The media began to drool over this story. Their eyes turned blood red and their fangs grew as if they were vampires. ANOTHER dead black "kid". They saw the ratings boost when Trayvon was shot... they wanted more. Just as in the Trayvon Martin case, the media began to IMMEDIATELY speculate and take unverified accounts of the shooting as gospel. The one thing that they grabbed on to the quickest was the account of Mike Brown's friend who was with him during the robbery and then the shooting. He stated that Mike had his hands UP at the time of the shooting and he was "surrendering".  If this was the truth, this officer should be hanged by the court of law, but if it wasn't and it was a lie...  then he would most surely be hanged by the court of public opinion. Days later, the riots began. The thugs of Ferguson took to the streets at night, hunting down their prey like animals. One of there first targets... a convenience store. They broke the windows, looted goods (mostly alcohol and cigarettes) and then, when they had completely gutted the place, they burned it to the ground. They moved on to the next store, next gas station, next restaurant and repeated this same sadistic process. Once they had their fill of booze and smokes, they then moved onto throwing Molotov Cocktails, rocks, urine filled bottles and even shot at police. Night after night, the chanting rang out; "No Justice, No Peace", "Justice for Mike","Hands Up, Don't Shoot". These became the new chants of racial oppression. The court of black public opinion had their verdict and they wanted  Officer Wilson's blood. Once again, without knowing all of the facts, the media had created a racial hell-fire that was scolding hot. Once again, just as he did during the Trayvon Martin case, President Obama had to stick his racist nose into it. He first did this by ordering Attorney General Eric Holder to open an investigation into this case and determine if this was a hate crime. HATE CRIME?! Shouldn't they have at least let the local police investigation conclude before they rush to judgement? Eric Holder, the highest ranking Attorney the country has, should have had made a better judgement call. While this investigation was going on, the civil unrest grew to a boiling point and police started using tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bangs to try and break up the mob mentality. This only gave the thugs in this community more fodder to feed their flocks of chickens. Once again, our dear ruler had to stick his nose into it during a press briefing when he repeated that the death of Mike Brown was "Heartbreaking and tragic" and went on to say "There’s also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights". He went on to use the word "Bully" on multiple points throughout his speech in reference to the police. This, being said from a black President, during a time when the police needed help from thuggish black RIOTERS... this did not help. Al Sharpton snaked his way into Mike Brown's family circle and began to hold rally's and speak out for them. He wants desperately to be as important to the black community as Dr. King, but he is doing the exact opposite of what Dr. King would have wanted. Dr. King would have been embarrassed by the violent riots, the burning down of ones city spots and the utter civil disobedience before an investigation has even been concluded. Dr. King was a man of reason and a man of God... both allowing him to make level headed decisions that he felt would honor his cause without smearing salt into a deep wound. He was the stitch to mend that wound 40+ years ago. He would weave in and out of both sides... ultimately bringing both sides together to allow the healing to begin . Slowly closing that wound and assuring the blood would stop flowing. He had seen enough blood and he wanted CHANGE. Just when the wound was beginning to heal from Dr. Kings stitches, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson took a scalpel and began to cut a new wound... a deeper wound... a wound that was cut along an artery with the hopes that the bleeding would never stop. 

   I weep for Dr. King and his legacy. I weep for the generation of young black men and women that don't have the opportunity to grow up in the nation that Dr. King had dreamt. An entire generation whose heroes are Lil' Wayne and Kanye West instead of Rosa Parks and Dr. King. A generation that understood that MLK Day is not just a day off of work or school, but a day to remember the 20th century's great emancipator. I don't know when it happened, or why... the black community needs to save themselves. They need to push education, lead their children to God and explain that they should not seek to grow up to be an NFL player, a Rapper or a Gangsta but grow up to be doctors, lawyers or businessmen/women. The Democrats are only looking to control the black community for votes. They will offer them free phones, free housing, free internet, free cars, money and tax breaks but then warn them that all of that will disappear if they vote for Republicans. They only see free and forget what that word really means... FREE. A word fought so hard for. A word that many a man, woman and child have died for. The black community was on their way to FREE when Dr. King had his dream, now... that dream has turned to a nightmare. If these people would just wake up and see that free things are great but being FREE is so much better. Being FREE to move out of the crime ridden neighborhoods and into a safe, gang free environment to raise children. Being FREE to exit a failing school district and move to an A+ rated school thus allowing their children to exceed above any of their wildest dreams. Until the black community wakes up, opens their eyes and understands that they are pawns to the Democratic agenda they will be stuck in this vicious cycle of raising one failing generation after another... stricken with gangs, drugs, illiteracy and high illegitimate birthrates. Until these kids stop growing up in single parent households (where one parent is either dead or in jail) in gang neighbohoods (where you are either forced to join or die) and going to school in F rated schools they will never escape and never live up to Dr. King's dream. 




“We’ve been in the mountain of war. We’ve been in the mountain of violence. We’ve been in the mountain of hatred long enough. It is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the Kingdom of God. It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.”

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.-
Sermon at Temple Israel of Hollywood in June 1965 




Sweet Dreams, Dr. King. I pray your dream will someday meet your expectations.

My Child, My Angel: Too Beautiful For Earth

   

   I don't even know where to begin with this post. I will try my best to make it through without crying so much I can't see. I will start with a very simple quote in Psalms 127:3 "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward".  

   I can't remember a time in my life, child to adult, that I have not wanted children. Obviously, the feeling grew more strong as I reached adulthood and exploded when I met my beautiful wife. When we fell in love, children became a regular topic of conversation; How many did each of us want?...Boy or girl first?... Names?... and many other questions floated out there. Both of our answers were the same; 2-3 kids... gender doesn't matter, as long as they are healthy... we are both accepting of any name ideas. The most important of those answers was that we both wanted a ten fingered, ten toed healthy baby boy OR girl. 

   Our love grew over the next few months. We had so much in common and she ACTUALLY put up with my crap. A keeper. I had never been more sure of anything in my life... I wanted to spend the rest of my days with her. On November 11th, 2011 (11/11/11) I proposed to my best friend, my lover, my life. We then wed on September 29th, 2012 and instantly wanted to start trying for children. It was shocking how difficult it is to get pregnant when you want to. You watch movies like Juno and see someone get pregnant right away, after a on night stand and think it should be super simple... NOT the case. I think I know the menstrual cycle patterns better than the moon patterns by now. I have also spent a lot of time in forums and blogs learning some lingo like DPO or Days Past Ovulation. Hell... I didn't even know/understand what ovulation was before we started trying. Month after month we had heartbreak. negative...Negative...NEGATIVE. Each month it was painful all over again. There was nothing we wanted more than to have a baby and we were surrounded by people who got pregnant by accident, didn't even really want their kids or in most cases probably shouldn't even have had kids. Why couldn't we get pregnant. We tried everything; apps, ovulation kits, you name it we probably tried it, aside from expensive medical treatments. Then on September 22nd, 2014 (After over a year of trying) my wife woke me up, crying, with a positive pregnancy test in her hand. I embraced her, shaking... crying, and the world felt anew. After some crying and screaming, we both had to go to work. I walked out of the house that morning and the sun seemed brighter, the clouds seemed more colorful and the birds sounded more beautiful. I was going to be a DAD! 

   My thought of the future began dancing in my head; What will our child look like? Will it be a boy or girl? Will they have my eyes? My wife's skin tone? It was a miracle... my heritage... my fruit... my reward. We told our families, one by one, and cried each time with happiness. I didn't want this feeling to go away. This feeling of joy, gratefulness, love and knowing that I made the most precious thing my eyes would ever long to see. 

   We set our first OB/GYN appointment to have my wife poked and prodded to make sure everything was OK. The doctor said everything was fine so far. I was waiting for the doctor to say the word "Pregnant" to us, but she didn't. It still didn't seem real so I, in comedic fashion, asked the doctor just to say that word... to say that we were PREGNANT. She laughed and spoke that magic word. Now it felt 20% real. It still hadn't sunk in. 

   2 weeks later, on October 13th, we went for our first ultrasound. My wife and I were very excited to see our little speck of a child and hopefully see the heartbeat. The tech had the screen turned a little bit away from my wife, but I could see it just fine. She kept turning and moving things on the screen until I finally saw a little dot with a "blinking light" in it. That "blinking light" was my child's heart beating at 112 BPM. Tears began to stream down my face as I held my wife tight and kissed her forehead. Now it felt 100% real... I have seen my future in that little dot and light. We were on top of the world... nothing could stop us. That's when our world's were turned upside down. 

   It all changed on Wednesday, October 22nd (1 months after finding out we were pregnant). My wife started spotting (slight bleeding) on Tuesday and made an emergency ultrasound appointment the next day. We went in, both scared to death, and had to sit in the waiting room for what felt like forever as they tried to fit us in. The whole time I was spouting off facts, figures, statistics and anything I could think of our had found to try and calm my wife... assuring her everything would be OK. We finally heard my wife's name called and we went back to the ultrasound room. The tech prepared her and the procedure began. After some moving and turning of the wand, she found the yolk sac with the baby. I watched on the screen with nervous anticipation, but became weak when I didn't see that familiar "blinking light" as I did last time. She tech asked us if we saw a heartbeat last time and we said yes. Then she asked us how far along we were suppose to be and we answered. A few seconds later, which seemed like a century, she said those two words I will never forget... the two words that can tear your soul in half in one fell swoop... those two words that changed my life forever... "I'm sorry". To be quite honest... I don't know what else she said after that, something about "lost"... "baby"... "stopped growing"... "no heart beat"... "DIED". The sentence contained those words, but I will never remember the order those words were put in. I began to shake. My wife began to cry. I began to cry. Our baby was gone. Our little grain of rice would never form into a blueberry, a grape, a raspberry, a date and I would never get to hold my watermelon. I would never get to teach my peanut how to ride a bike, swim, tie their shoes or drive a car. I wouldn't be there to stay up all night while they go to prom, cry myself to sleep when they leave for college or tell them how proud I am of them when they get married. I also wouldn't be the grandfather to their child. They say life flashes before your eyes when YOU die... my FUTURE flashed before mine when my child died.

   The next morning my wife started bleeding profusely and screaming in agonizing pain. I have never heard her cry so hard or scream so loud. I felt helpless. All I could do was rub her lower back and be there with her. She was beginning the miscarriage. She began sweating buckets as she writhed in pain. Days upon days she bleed was in excruciating pain as a constant reminder of our loss. I did all I could, as I did during the pregnancy to not allow her to get up and do anything. Again, my mind was in constant "Protect Her" mode and I had not had a chance to absorb what had really happened. My child was in Heaven.

   It has been a week since I lost my Angel and it has not gotten any easier. I still will find myself staring at something, lost in sorrow and feeling angry. Not angry at God and not angry at anyone in particular... just ANGRY. My wife and I started writing in a journal when we found out we were pregnant, as my mother had done for me when I was born. What do I do with that? It only has 3 entries in it. What about the ultrasound pictures of our, at the time, healthy baby? What can I do to make this emptiness go away? Will I ever feel whole again? I don't have the answers to those questions and I don't know if I ever will... I just need to have hope that God will answer our prayers and give us the gift we have been yearning for for so long. Everyone keeps saying we can try again and have another baby but... I wanted THAT baby. I understand that God needed one of his Angels back to help him. I doesn't make it hurt any less. 

   I miss you, my baby. I wish I could hold you just once, Kiss your forehead as I rock you to sleep and sing you a lullaby. I will hold you someday, but I will love you forever. 

Sweet Dreams my Angel, 
  Your Daddy        

Obola... The Gift That Keeps Giving

Obviously, you all know I can't fucking stand Mr. Hussein Obama and I truly think he is/has been taking us down a path of destruction, but what he has just done and is contemplating doing will begin to wipe a vast number of American's off the face of the earth very quickly.

   If you stay current with the news; read a paper, watch TV or listen to the radio on the way to work in the morning, you have heard about Ebola Virus outbreak that has thrown West Africa into turmoil. It has a 70% kill rate and there is no known vaccine yet created (although there are some treatments that have been shown to work). When all of this started, it was not even on Obama's radar. A couple hundred people started dying and it began spreading among West African countries and where was our leader... on the 18th hole imagining he was Tiger Woods putting for a birdie to win the 2008 US Open. Next the number of dead reached over 1000 and Obama did what he does best... he gave a speech. He stated that "In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores". Mr. Obama... you have been proven time and time again that you are full of shit. Ebola HAS reached our shores and HAS infected 4 US citizens to date. You might say "4 People... that's not a worry", but you would be DEAD wrong to say that. One of those cases is in New York City, one of the most densely populated cities in the world. That doctor knew came back to the US from helping Ebola victims in Africa and told the CDC he would "Self Quarantine"... HE LIED! Upon looking through his credit card transactions they found that he had taken multiple subways, went bowling, took an Uber taxi and ate at a sandwich shop ALL while he had the Virus in his body and was showing some symptoms. Can you even contemplate how many people he came into contact with? 5,000...10,000...20,000?!? And what about those people and the people they have had contact with? You look at the numbers and if even a small percent of those people contracted it, by the time they realized it (Remember: 21 day incubation period) they may have infected a handful more and so on. With a high morbidity rate and an even higher MORTALITY rate (70%), that could mean 1,000's or 10,000's dead in a short period of time. New York City is also a international hub for air travel and could the perfect Petri Dish to allow the greatest number of those exposed which will then allow the virus to mutate to allow airborne transmission. If that happens... say goodbye to MILLIONS. 

   The Black Plague... one of the deadliest plagues to EVER hit the world. It was devastating Europe in the mid 1300's. By the time it was through, it had killed as many as 200 MILLION people. That's right, 200,000,000 people! You know what the mortality rate of that apocalyptic disease was... 72%. Only 2% greater than that of the Ebola Virus. The Black Plague started small with fleas and as it grew, and people couldn't bury the bodies quick enough, it began to spread like a wildfire. Sound familiar to what is occurring in West Africa? It should. People are dropping like flies in countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. There have been documented cases in Spain, UK and now America. 

   "In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores"... It's here, what now Mr. President? What do you think of when you hear about the CDC (and don't say season 2 of The Walking Dead)? Before this outbreak, I thought what most people thought; "This is the CD-Muthafukin-C"... "They are Orkin Men on steroids"... "They kill whatever comes along and can do no wrong". Well, they have kinda sucked through this. The first person in the history of the world EVER to have Ebola in the US was brought here byyyy... the CDC. What?!? BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE! The SECOND person in the history of the world to EVER have Ebola in the US was, you guessed it, brought here byyyy... the CDC. You would think with how dangerous this is and how popular the US is to travel to we would shut down air travel from West African countries... NOPE! The CDC hasn't done SHIT to slow the flow of West Africans into the US.

   WAKE UP PEOPLE! We are watching the very thin fabric that holds us together tear one thread at a time. When the last thread breaks, it will give Obama his final excuse to do what he has wanted to do all along... MARTIAL LAW. HIS military has been training for it in OUR cities. HE has been FIRING high ranking military officers because they tell him they will not EVER fire on US citizens. He wants his 3rd, 4th, 5th term so he can proclaim to the world, as Leo did in Titanic, "I'M KING OF THE WORLD!". 

   I will pray that your Libtard neighbors, family members and friends wake up before they are unable to. The face of the country and the world is going to be drastically changed if those who are suppose to protect us don't get off their asses and do something. 

Sweet Dreams,

FORT HOOD, BENGHAZI, BOSTON... WHAT NEXT?

The screaming...the pain... the death... these adjectives are not new to the American people. This country has long been surrounded by pain. From the Revolutionary War, to Slavery, to the Civil War and all the wars that followed thereafter. September 11th 2001 is the day that War was brought to the shores of the U.S. for the first time since Pearl Harbor, and to this day it has still not yet left. 9/11/01 is a date that will never be forgotten and will always be remembered as a day of pain and terror. Brave Americans fought to stay alive when all odds were against them. Islamic Terrorists were on a mission from Allah to destroy all infidels while waging their Holy War on the West. 

      This terror was brought to the American people on another level on November 5th, 2009 when a member of the US military, Major Nidal Hasan, shot and killed 14 people and injured 30 on the base in Texas. Major Hasan was a practicing Muslim who was radicalized after the passing of his parents at the turn of the century. This was covered up by the Obama administration and framed as workplace violence... NOT a Terrorist Attack. Then, in 2012, another Terrorist attack took the lives of four brave and selfless Americans in Benghazi, Libya. This attack was initially framed around a lie and that lie is still being force fed to the American people to this day. On Monday April 15th, 2013 yet another act of Terror took part in Boston, MA at the finish line to the long running Boston Marathon. This devilish act resulted in over 200 Americans injured (Many losing one or more limbs) and 3 dead. From the moment this attack was committed, the lies began to spill out of the government again. These are just three of the most recent cases where we have been attacked by Islamic Jihadists, where Americans were killed, where the American people were mislead about the origins and links between Muslim Extremists and dead Americans. I am not an insider, I do not have anymore information at my disposal than any of you do, but I do think for myself and question what this administration is doing because there are way too many holes in their stories about these three events.

       After 9/11/01 it took us a long time to get our lives back together... but we did (for the most part). We started to fly again, go to big cities again and try to push that pain to the back of our minds. All of that comfort was erased on November 5th, 2009 when a Major with the US Army, Major Nidal Hasan, went on a rampage at Fort Hood in Texas. In all he shot 43 people; killing 14 and injuring 30. The math does not add up because Private Francheska Velez, one of the slain soldiers, was pregnant at the time of the shooting and the baby was killed also. I consider that a life lost in this event. During the shooting, from eyewitness reports, Major Hasan was screaming "Allah Akbar", a saying commonly used by Muslim Terrorists when committing attacks (this phrase was also overheard over the radio from the plans used during the 9/11/01 attacks on NYC and Washington DC). Since the Attack, it has come out that Major Hasan had prior communications with Anwar Al-Awlaki, an American Born Muslim Terrorist who worked directly with al-Qaeda. Even though all of the evidence pointed to this being a Terrorist Attack, and many Democratic Congressmen said it was that, President Obama defined this as a case of Workplace Violence. WHAT?! What many people don't know is because it was defined as that, the families of the people lost did not receive any medals or assistance as they would have if it would have been from "battle". The soldiers who were injured were not awarded any medals, even Purple Hearts, and also did not receive any assistance or other awards. This is the biggest slap in the face of the brave men and women who defend us, not only overseas but also inside our boarders. Sadly, this was the first of many cases where the Obama administration has slandered and lied to the American people in an attempt to not tie Muslims/Islamic with the word "Terrorist".           

         It is 3:40pm EST and I am counting down the minutes until I am released from my cage, ie Office, after the most stressful of days. I had to sit in an air conditioned office, speak to customers and do A LOT of typing. God, my fingers were tired. It was one of those days where all I could think about was going home, sitting on my nice cushioned couch and watch some TV while drinking a cold beer. Feel bad for me yet? In reality, while I was bitching about my "Hard" day all Hell was breaking lose in a place some 6000 miles away. The local time is 9:40pm and a small group of Americans, including Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were being pinned down as over 150 Islamic Terrorists shot at and set off explosives in or near the U.S. Embassy. Their mission... Kill Americans at all costs. The Terrorists were shouting "Allah Akbar" as they pressed deeper and deeper into the relatively small compound, only 300 yards wide by 100 yards deep, shooting all they saw. The Jihadists were equipped with automatic rifles, RPGs, Grenades, truck mounted Anti-Aircraft guns and mortars. Through all of the chaos, phone calls were made and emails were sent requesting help. Direct phone calls from Ambassador Stevens were ignored by government higher ups, all other requests were denied. As these Americans were under siege, our government ignored their cries. Finally, a small group of Navy Seals lead by Senior Chief Petty Officer and Former SEAL Tyrone Woods, answered those calls for help against orders by the U.S. Government. In the Battle for Benghazi Woods along with SEAL Glen Doherty, Information Management Officer Sean Smith and Ambassador Chris Stevens lost their lives. This was the first time since 1979 that an American Ambassador was assassinated. On September 12th, 2012 President Obama gave a speech in the Rose Garden at the White House where he discussed the incident. At no time in the speech did he refer to this as a Terrorist Attack. In the days and weeks to follow, the Obama Administration began to say that the attack was actually a "Spontaneous Protest" to a anti-Islamic video posted on Youtube.com. This was not only stated by President Obama, it was echoed by his Press Secretary (Jay Carney), UN Ambassador (Susan Rice), Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton) and many other high up Obama Administration Officials. These were ALL lies! This was NEVER about a movie. Reports have now come out declaring that it was a peaceful night until the gunfire started. There were no protests AT ALL. It was a deliberate Terror Attack brought on by Islamic Extremists. To this day the lies keep coming. When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before Congress she stated she had heard of no requests for an increase in security before the attack happened. Upon further research, they have found that she was requested, weeks before the attack, to provide additional security as tensions were high in that region. They were ignored, and because they were ignored people died. Good Americans who gave up their comforts at home died for no reason. Madam Secretay (ret)... IT DOES MATTER! 

         The Boston Marathon is something runners from all over the world train for long periods of time before even attempting, some training all their lives. The race marks a day that is important in American history, commemorating the start of the Revolutionary War (Patriots Day). It is a day of remembrance and of new beginnings. At 2:49pm, as families and friends crowded around the finish line of this 26 mile race to see their loved ones finish a lifelong journey, two explosions erupted instantly killing 3 people and injuring over 200. This act of Terrorism was seen worldwide as there were TV cameras rolling when the bombs exploded. Early reports of heroic people rushing into the bloody mess of bodies and blood and even some body parts showed us that even in our darkest times Americans still stand as one. As I watched the news, when I got home from work, I was flipping through multiple News stations to see what information was coming in. It caught my attention to hear from an anchor on MSNBC that they said this was probably some "Right Wing Nut Job"  or "Tea Party Member". Are you serious??? What evidence did they have to even begin to speculate on that point? That night, when President Obama spoke, he again did not use the word "Terrorist". Why is he so afraid to call a spade a spade? The word doesn't only mean Islamic/Muslim Terrorist... it means someone who creates Terror. As the days followed different reports came out that were all over the place. That day, the FBI reported they had a Saudi National in custody as a "Suspect". They were on guard outside his room at the hospital, as he was injured in the explosions. Who is this Saudi? Very quickly the Police downgraded this Suspect to a POI (Person of Interest) and then soon after claimed he had no connection. More on him to come later. Finally on Thursday night, around 5:00pm, the FBI held a press conference where they released images of the two different Suspects. That night the two men were identified and involved in police chase where they were throwing more explosives at the police while shooting at them This resulted in the shooting death of Officer Sean Collier. Soon the older suspect identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaeva (29) was killed in a shootout, and his accomplice his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaeva (19) escaped police. A citywide manhunt then ensued for Dzhokhar who had escaped a shootout that left his older brother dead. During this time more information began to come out about these Chechen born brothers as Youtube.com pages were found for both of them that had multiple videos regarding al-Qaeda and Anti-American views. Dzhokhar also had a Facebook page where he showed his religion as Islam and where he discussed his faith. These are truths that the Obama Administration have yet to admit to. More started to also come out about the bombs and how they were constructed. These Terrorists used pressure cookers hardwired with circuit boards and potentially cell phone triggers. This is the exact MO for the IEDs used in Iraq, Afghanistan and other al-Qaeda run regions of the world. All signs point to al-Qaeda training... so why won't Obama admit to this? Why wont he say Muslim Extremists?  Now we have caught the younger brother after another shootout. He is finally in custody, Alive, and we begin to question him. The FBI is suppose to have 40 hours of questioning before they would be forced to read him his Miranda Rights or treat him as an enemy combatant. After only 26 hours a Judge arrives and without notice reads him his rights. From that moment on he became silent. Now, Back to this Saudi... it has since come out that he is actually on the DHS Watch List and is classified as a 212 3(b), which is the highest inter-agency rating an individual can be given due to concrete evidence of direct involvement in Terrorist activities. If this is so, why did Michelle Obama visit this Saudi at the hospital in the days following this bombing? At that time he was on this Terror watch list as a 212 3(b). Now all of a sudden this Saudi is going to be deported without cause? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has lied through her teeth on this by claiming she did not know of him being deported to saying it was a DIFFERENT Saudi with the exact same name her on the exact same student visa being deported. This has more holes than Swiss Cheese. When are we going to start hearing the truth from this Administration and when are they going to start protecting us? Do they even want to? All I know is that we are in danger. In danger of losing our freedoms, our liberties and our sense of unity. We are being torn apart by a tag team... al-Qaeda and our own government. We are losing. We are having our liberties slowly taken away from us to "Make us Safer". We don't "NEED" guns because we have the government protecting us. How so? We have lost too many under this administration.

Freedom: A Story That Was

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." 

--George Washington

This country was founded on the principles of peace and liberty, but to achieve peace and protect liberty you must keep an eye on government’s role in your life. There is a reason the first two amendments of the Bill of Rights are:

           I.           Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

         II.           A well regulated Militia, being necessary to thesecurity of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shallnot be infringed.

The first two amendments are set in place to protect the citizens from a government that oversteps its boundaries. If the citizen/Militia begins to have their rights infringed upon or taken away,the citizen/Militia has an obligation to country and fellow citizen to protest their rights and if need be, defend their liberties and forcefully take back their freedoms. The first amendment protects any citizen that wishes to protest against the government and the second amendment allows that citizen to use force if the government responds with force or a removal of more rights or freedoms.

The topic of “Gun Control” has recently appeared in the MSM’s (Mainstream Media’s) everyday vocabulary again due to the recent horrific shooting in Newtown, CT where 20 little angels were sent to Heaven along with 7 adult victims. This is a tragedy and will forever be engraved in everyone’s minds alongside; 9/11, Columbine and the Challenger disaster. Charlton Heston said it best when he said “"There's no such thing as a good gun. There's no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys”. Fighting for the removal of guns will not prevent horrific events like the Newtown shooting… it will only make it easier for them to happen. Connecticut has some of the strictest gun laws in the country but this tragedy still occurred. Gun bans do not protect the citizens, they only make them more vulnerable.

How vulnerable you ask??? Here are some interesting statistics:

• States which passed concealed carry laws reduced their rate of murder by 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggravated assault by 7% and robbery by 3% 
• Washington, D.C. has, perhaps, the most restrictive gun control laws in the country, and yet it is frequently the Murder Capital of the nation. In the 25 years following the DC gun ban, its murder rate INCREASED 51 percent, even while the national rate DECREASED 36 percent
• In the fifteen years following the passage of Florida's concealed carry law in 1987, over 800,000 permits to carry firearms were issued to people in the state.(32) FBI reports show that the homicide rate in Florida, which in 1987 was much higher than the national average, fell 52% during that 15-year period—thus putting the Florida rate below the national average
• As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse
• 3/5 of felons polled agreed that "a criminal is not going to mess around with a victim he knows is armed with a gun
• 74% of felons polled agreed that "one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at home is that they fear being shot during the crime
• 57% of felons polled agreed that "criminals are more worried about meeting an armed victim than they are about running into the police

(All Stats above were taken from http://gunowners.org/fs0404.htm where all sources can be found)

        I can spout off stats all day long and some may never even do their own research but the fact remains, guns save more good people from bad people than they do kill good people by bad people. Guns are our last line of defense from the demons walking the streets like Adam Lanza (Shooter in Newtown, CT). Just think about how many of those Angels could have been saved if a teacher or administrator had a gun on their person. The bravery of Dawn Hochsprung, Principal at Sandy Hook Elementary, showed when rushing Adam Lanza was amazing. She was the first to lose her life that day at the school and she showed courage till the end, but what would have happened if she had a handgun on her person at the time of the shooting? What if instead of trying to rush Adam Lanza and disarm him she could have pulled out her handgun and shot him dead before he had the opportunity to extinguish the beautiful lives of those 20 children? Gun Control advocates would argue that he had body armor on and it could have made no difference, she may have missed and still would have been killed. What I would argue back would be, She would have had more of fighting chance than to try to disarm the shooter with her hands with no weapon. 

      The recent events at Sandy Hook Elementary have caused liberal lawmakers to start another anti-gun frenzy. Congresswoman Dianne Feinstein of California has proposed a bill that will essentially ban 120 different types of guns (including rifles and handguns with fixed magazines that carry more than 10 rounds). She also wants to ban "Assault Rifles" but will not clearly define what she believes "Assault Rifles" are in her proposed bill. Can we really be that stupid to allow a bill to pass that is essentially a blank check to be filled out at a later date once the bill is passed? Well, they did pass Obama-Care without reading it (According to Pelosi we would have to pass it to find out what was in it). 

     We must stand up to our elected officials that want to take away our rights: right to protect self, family and neighbor from anyone who would abuse them and demand they leave our rights alone. 

Don't Tread on Me!

"Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what's happening, the second allows us to do something about it! The second will be taken away first, followed by the first and then the rest of our freedoms."

Generation-E (For Entitlement)

      What has this world come to?? Our country is infested with a generation of kids/young adults who are never happy with anything they have and who do not have any manners at all anymore. It disgusts me to think I am apart of this Generation-E (For Entitlement), or Gen-E's as I like to call them. I work for everything I have and appreciate all I have, but these ignorant, rude and unappreciative whiners are never happy and only want more for free. 

       This kind of behavior is learned. Learned from their parents that is, not their grandparents though. Our grandparents lived through the Great Depression and they know how important it is to work hard and make money for what they want in life. If you told those grandparents that they were going on food stamps they would be embarrassed and work their asses off to get off them as quickly as possible. They would not tell a single soul they were on them and pray that no one would find out. Today, the USDA encourages "Food Stamp Parties" in the same effect as having a Tupperware Party. "...Make it fun by having activities, games, food, and entertainment, and provide information about SNAP. Putting SNAP information in a game format like BINGO, crossword puzzles, or even a ‘true/false’ quiz is fun and helps get your message across in a memorable way..." one of the pamphlets on the USDA's website stated. Is this what our country has come to??? We evolved from people who were embarrassed to be on food stamps into people who throw parties to encourage people to "join their club". As of June 2012, the US has 46.7 Million people on food stamps (Dep. of Commerce Statistics, Oct.15th, 2012). According to statistics from USDA, FNS and BLS records job growth since President Obama has taken office shows only 194,000 jobs created and 14.7 million people added to food stamp rolls. That shows food stamp recipients have increased 75X that of job creation.

     

     Gen-E's have taken over in all aspects of our daily lives. Going to the store, mall or shopping center has turned into a stressful experience. I was raised to always show good manners and be polite to everyone, even if they are being an idiot. When I am crossing a crosswalk to enter a store I will stop and wait until the car coming sees me and if they stop I will wave and mouth "Thank you" to them. Today, these Gen-E's will walk out in front of you, never acknowledging you are even there, and just keep walking like you "OWE" them something. They are "ENTITLED" to walk in front me.  

    I was also raised to look behind me when I am entering a door to see if there is anyone coming and hold the door for people until someone takes the door from me. I will be the person who stands at the door at a store and hold the door for 5 minutes, especially if I see women approaching. These Gen-E's will open a door, just enough for them to walk through, and continue walking without even looking back to see if someone could possibly be behind them. They wouldn't even care if their own grandmother was behind them... their time is limited and they are "ENTITLED" to be in a hurry. 

     What I have seen of the generation I was born into scares me about the next generation. If the young adults I grew up with learned this behavior from their parents, what is going to happen when these same people start to have families of their own? It can only be worse. Is this the start to Socialism in America where everyone feels "ENTITLED" to something that someone else worked hard for? These people collecting food stamps are not receiving free food, they are receiving food that was worked hard for, sweat for, bleed for by myself and every other hard working American. We pay more and more in taxes each year to cover this deficit created by these "ENTITLEMENT" programs. $139.1 Billion is spent each year by the federal government on Welfare, not including food stamps and unemployment. The total amount spent each year by the federal government on "ENTITLEMENT" programs takes up about $1.03 Trillion in fiscal spending each year. We are moving in the wrong direction and it scares me. 

    When will we go back to the days when it was a disgusting feeling to take a handout? When will people have morals and manners again? When will America be the America we love again, where we know as long as we work hard and play by the rules we can have that American Dream? My fear is THAT America will never return and we will go the same route as the USSR and crumble under the extreme pressure of our fiscal irresponsibility. All it takes is everyone raising their kids on the principles that our grandparents were raised; Respect, Honor, Self Worth and Hard Work. It is sad to say, but maybe we do need another Great Depression to open our eyes to what our grandparents went through and change this course of destruction before we cause irreparable damage to this great nation.

The Hope, The Change... The Reality

I would like to start off by saying that I voted for Obama in 2008. I was, at the time, a 22 year old student at the University of Central Florida where I was studying toward my bachelors in Business Administration. I felt that I was witnessing history. I would be able to tell my children and my grandchildren that I voted for not only the greatest President in US history... I was born into a generation that would erase the racial gap that was created in the 60's by giving me the opportunity to be able to vote for the first black president.
Four years later I realize that my mind had been kidnapped, tied up and left in a closet by my heart and my emotions. I was constantly being force fed in my college classes that Obama was the answer and we would have a multitude of jobs awaiting us once we finished school. There are no jobs. The company I work for has recently laid off 80% of it's workforce. The president /CEO of our company has ceased to collect a paycheck and is currently paying the remaining employees out of his pocket every week. That president/CEO I just spoke of is the greatest man I have ever known... He is my father. My father has worked tirelessly his entire life, since he was 10, to be able to give me a good life and retire so he may enjoy the rest of his life. He turns 66 today and over the last 4 years has had to put over $2,000,000 of his own money; retirement, investments, multiple mortgages, refinance, etc... just to keep the doors open. Not only is the manufacturing slow down hurting him, now he has to worry about healthcare costs that will soon be too high to handle. He currently pays for 80% of his employees health insurance. How can he continue to pay for that when the costs are going to rise exponentially. Again, my father has worked since he was 10 years old to be able to get to where he is today and do you know how much money, assistance or tax breaks he has received from the government along the way... ZERO. That is why it made me sick to hear our President, the President of these United States, state that he didn't build that. HE DIDN'T BUILD THAT?!?!?!?! You are damn right he did! We have a president who has never worked in the public sector. He has no understanding of how a business is run.
All he has done for 4 years is blame President Bush. I will say that I do not think Bush was the greatest President we ever had either, but he did a fine job of protecting our nation after 9/11 and treated our troops with a great deal of respect and for that I will always be thankful. But there comes a time when Obama cannot blame Bush anymore. Obama has spent almost twice what Bush did, and Obama did that in 4 years compared to 8 for Bush. What Bush spent, he spent because of 2 wars and a country's failing economy. Obama has ended one of those wars but has replaced any positive change in the deficit by adding a healthcare bill that will cost us many trillions more. He is not fiscally responsible and that is the most dangerous thing that our country faces today.
Please people...open your eyes and do your own research. Don't listen to MSNBC, CNN, ABC or Fox News for that matter... watch speeches, read transcripts, learn about your candidates and make up your own minds. I believe that once you do that you will see the truth as I recently did and vote out President Obama in the election in November.
