The news has been full of talking heads lately, talking about the Zimmerman ruling and the recent brutal  murders involving Black on White violence.
I ask you this one question... "Who sacrificed for you?" Can you name the people in your family that paid for your rights? You see, freedom isn't free so if you feel the

So, in case you are wondering, I have suspended my intention to run for congress. Not that I don't feel that i have a great platform or good ideas. the reason i don't think I can go forward is that I have two camps around me. Those who do think I have the right perspective and those who say, Russ as a Congressman? OMG! The ones that matter most to me are, in fact in the latter camp. They don't really know what I am trying to accomplish because politics don't matter the same to everyone. But, since they are the very people who would be placed in the spotlight should I do this, I have decided that I can not place them in such a position. My intent from the start was to shake things up and make enemies by pointing out where my fellow Americans have been lied too. The heat would have been far too high for family and friends who would not be able to handle the attention. So, for the moment, I am withdrawing my previous notices for the sake of my family. I intend to continue to be a thorn in the side of those who are currently

Powerful policy that should be set in our schools.

 A friend just sent this to me. Thank you, Jim Barrus, this is what should be the rule, not the exception to it in our schools.

Joseph W Beverly
THIS GUY SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE United States of AMERICA !!!!!!!

New High School Principal-------THIS IS GREAT!America has lost its decency, manners, politeness................soon without quick changes character !

Listen to the young people, F-this, F-that, and nary anyone will step up and correct them- even with wife and kids in tow!

FINALLY - - Someone in the teaching profession had the courage to set the standards so badly needed NOW.

New High School Principal

We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado, along with Sara Palin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago....what a dynamic, down to earth speaker. Even though Palin and Brokaw were also guest speakers they did little but nod and agree with him. This is the guy that should be running for President in2016!A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give.
By Dennis Prager.

To the students and faculty of our high school:

I am your new principal, and honored to be so.
There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.

First , this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity.
I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American.

This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values – e pluribus Unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America 's values. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.

Third , because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the f -word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be an American.

Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

The Road Ahead

The mere fact that it took me over a week to discover that I had a comment to my post announcing my intention to run for US Congress revealed one of the many things that I am not. It revealed that I am not a cyber genius in that after several months since starting this blog, I am still learning how to do things like checking comments. Also, the commenter correctly noted that some of my grammar and punctuation was off. In fact, in my reply to "Anonymous", once again, I made some mistakes. So, that has left me thinking today about the many challenges I have before me.
I am searching for the right person to run my campaign. That person, I hope will use better grammar and dot every i to the satisfaction of my critics. However, my grammar is the least of all matters needing attention. I acknowledge here, right now, that my chances of winning this election are past impossible in the realm of such non-sensible issues. I will win based on the will of Massachusetts residents to make a change toward effective government and real action. My handlers, who, will undoubtedly, correct my grammar issues will not be the center of my service towards my constituents. It will be those very constituents who I will depend upon to advise me and direct my actions.
If one must be honest, I must admit that it is not my first choice to serve as a Congressman. I am putting myself on the firing line. But, someone must step forward if we are to return true freedom and liberty to all people. This will be a lot of work. The easiest part will be winning as a very strong Republican in a state that historically has gone to the Liberal candidates. The only reason I will win is because I am one thing they are not... REAL. Don't get me wrong, on more than one occasion, I have run into Congressman Neal at the local 7 Eleven near his home. He is, a very nice individual with good intent. But, his mind is closed and locked on a certain philosophy. I would not call him a racist or an elitist. But, I will attest that the system he supports does not see the real hopes and aspirations of those he serves. That system does not, in reality see him or any other congressman in the role of serving. It is a system that has turned these public servants into Lords and Kings. When elected, my real work will start by challenging that status. I will be a serious threat to Democrat and Republican alike as I constantly remind them who we work for. As I sit not with dignitaries or community leaders in my weekly "Lunch with the Boss", I will acknowledge that each American, individually, must be heard. I said it before, I will not make  many friends in Washington. But, my success, OUR success, will depend on my friends here in Massachusetts, the place freedom made its very first steps. My own families blood was shed here for the cause of a unique country and culture that will stand for liberty. Many are sitting by as that sacrifice is overlooked for the easy path of compromise toward a global culture that does NOT value freedom and liberty or the value of that individual I look forward to sharing a lunch and opinion of. Those, in Washington, right now, are very inclined to water down your freedoms to join the world view. A world filled with elitism power grabbing, ethnic cleansing, social classes, ect. We are meant to lead the world, not the other way around. I intend to remind my colleagues of this and bring about a change back to the true intent of the Constitution. Now, this is a daunting task that terrifies me. I can not do it alone.
I AM JUST A MAN, a simple man, I AM YOU! As your Rep, I will go, not to win a spelling bee, I will go to do battle in your name. I will go to end slavery through entitlement programs and, instead introduce simple programs to assist those in need while educating them for real productive jobs not limited to just low skill. We can regenerate our economy and return to technological dominance using the workforce that has been waiting for this opportunity the whole time.
My friends, Anonymous wrote that they did not feel I was qualified..... What they really implied in that is that you are not capable of our success. I meet all the qualifications to be your Representative in Congress. The main one being, I am listening. I have lived the real life with you. I know your struggles because I have lived them too. I know how desperately you dream of a better life for your children. And I know, if given the chance, how eagerly you would give it to them. My own disability and own personal struggles are all I have ever known. I don't look at our poor and disadvantaged and say "Let's take care of them." I look at you and say, "let's  take pride and lift each other out, all the way out. Let's go all the way!" I ask you to believe in me. Because, I certainly believe in you. 

My Platform

A long ago, in a time far too many dismiss as being different than our own, our Fore Fathers drafted a unique document that declared our new country to be something different. After centuries of oppression at the hands of governments that placed low or no value on the human lives of the lower class or those with different religious views, those who had come to this new land decided that they would create a system of law, a CONSTITUTION to make all men equal.

Today, much as in that day, there are people who seek to undermine our system. People, who would return us to the days of sub-service to kings and lords. Oh, they may use different titles, but in the end it is all still the same. One document gives all Americans the liberty and freedom to choose their destiny.. the US CONSTITUTION.

As your Congressman in the Massachusetts First District, I intend to defend the constitution from those who seek to alter the meaning and intent of that document to gain political power.

I am not a career politician, a point my opponents will certainly make clear. It is, however, my best feature. I don’t seek power or fame. I live with my wife and two of my five daughters in a small apartment in West  Springfield. And, after becoming your next Representative, we intend to continue to live where we will best hear your message.  I don’t need to make friends in Washington, and I won’t. I only need to deliver a message. YOUR MESSAGE. Far too long, our “Representatives have only answered to the desires of special interests and wealthy donors. Who really speaks for the single parent desperately trying to find a way to give their children hope? Who speaks for the would be small business entrepreneur who could really help a community if only they had a chance? What about you? Has anyone really asked what you think lately? More important, did they listen? As your Representative, my place is here among my constituents, hearing you concerns not just through the filter of civic leaders, but directly from you, my employers. I will make your voice, collectively and individually, heard in Washington.

As a Republican, some would think I differ from my neighbors here. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Because, as a Constitutional Republican, I represent the party of equality and liberty. I represent YOU. I intend to expose the hypocrisy of Democrat and mainstream Republican alike. I am not a “Modern Conservative”,  a  “Compassionate Conservative”, or any other designation yielding to the smooth talk of the day. I stand firm in my values and my duty to defend the Constitution and the future for all Americans, especially the most vulnerable among us. I represent the very ideals intended for our country from the beginning. “All men are created equal”. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Republican, Democrat, ALL.

I will seek real solutions to problems such as our failing schools. By reducing the focus placed on union benefits and placing our sights first upon the children, we can return our curriculum to levels that find us once again first in the world. By awarding merit and talent, we can do this by rewarding competent and successful educators rather than wasting our children’s future on watered down curriculums and incompetent educators. No Child Left Behind failed the day we decided that meant we had to educate our children on the level of the weakest link. I endorse school vouchers that will allow parents and students to choose their futures for themselves and encourage educators and schools to push harder to attract students.

Real solutions to crime and violence. We need to support our law enforcement teams. We need to get tough on crime and stop allowing criminals to re-offend. That means keep the most dangerous offenders off the streets and offer those who can become useful again, a way out.  A way back home. Close the gap of despair. Re-vamp neighborhoods. Help those living in hard conditions to take back pride and dignity by reducing crime, working together to rebuild and raise hope in their homes. I won’t lie, I have no love for any man who preys upon the weak. We must remove such corrupt souls from such places for as long as it takes to give our brothers and sisters a chance to make something.

I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment. Your right to bear arms is NOT NEGOTIABLE. It is the very reason our country can exist. All tyranny needs to take seed is a place that is weak and unable to fight back. I cannot say enough about this. The tragedies we have seen are directly the result of gun restrictions. Criminals are cowards who seek out our most vulnerable places to commit their crimes. I support the National Concealed Carry movement that will make it possible for people, armed and ready, to take up the duty to conserve life by first, giving the criminal more reason to NOT attempt the crime in the first place and second, by stopping the loss of innocent life if necessary. Let’s be clear, I have a permit to carry in over 30 states. When applying for this permit, I took a course that opened by reminding the applicant of the solemn duty and COST that comes from exercising that duty. You want someone nearby who is willing to make that sacrifice when you met a criminal on a dark street. But, such rights are not without cost and are not absolute. It is possible to create a database in which Physiologists and law enforcement can restrict those who pose a danger from gaining access to firearms. Laws can be made to magnify penalties to those who obtain or use firearms illegally. We need to stop trying to restrict the law abiding and crack down on the criminal.

The Health Care for America plan (Obamacare), cannot be allowed to continue to destroy jobs and our childrens future.  To make health care affordable has always been within the scope of our society without forcing everyone to buy a certain product, place terrible debt upon our children, and reduce the quality of care to our most vulnerable. We can do this…. Just not that way. We will do this because all Americans do deserve the best health care without the terrible costs.

These are just a few of my positions on what is a list of many facing us today and in this election. Stand with me and we will see America into its brightest day. Thank you my friends. I welcome your comments and am hopeful for your input.

RUSS JENKINS

Russ Jenkins for US Congress in 2014

On July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was ratified and declared our independence not only from external rule, but also from the corrupt and oppressive values and traditions of Europe at the time. The words, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," Was a very alien concept to not only a culture that believed one was born into a certain class of living and should remain there, but also to a new country that needed to grow into such a noble and radical proclamation. Many who signed the document were, in fact slave owners. They realized two things. First, if all men were in fact, equal, slavery was wrong and must be stopped. But, to stop slavery was a step beyond what the nation, so new, could possibly do without tearing itself apart and ending the dream right there. The fact is, 75 years later, the dream almost ended as the nation fell into civil war and destruction.
Both the epic greatness and the depth of tragic darkness within the human soul were revealed as we, as a nation continued to fight for and against the meaning of those words. Founded in 1854, The Republican party was formed by anti-slavery activists in a movement that saw our darkest moment and, over one hundred years later, some of our greatest triumphs.

The indictment.

It is hard to imagine for some, but the Democratic opposition was, in fact, the slave owning states and the authors of the Jim Crow Laws that prevented all from equal participation. The KKK, itself was formed by southern Democratic groups to enforce segregation and intimidate all who opposed the Democratic party. 
Jim Crow Laws continued until 1965, when even Democratic support dwindled. But here is where the story doesn't end at all. The realization that without poor and oppressed people, the rich simply were not that special and the powerful were simply not relevant, gave way to a solution. Simply entrap a whole society within a sub-culture that, like a Chinese finger trap, will hold tighter as anyone tries to pull themselves free. The instrument of this solution was, in fact, the welfare and other social assistance programs that promised to lift the grandchildren of slaves to achieve freedom and equality at last. Instead, as time went on, it became incredibly difficult for participants to break free. Instead, a permanent poor class was formed, mainly of minority and other groups previously oppressed openly. The oppressors could gain favor-ability appearing as allies to the oppressed. A further advantage was received by the Democratic Party in that those who were trapped into dependance on these funds now voted as Democrats to maintain their security. It became the indoctrinated belief that the party that had spent over one and a half centuries now was their best friend.
Where do the Republicans fit into all this? Oh they are certainly not innocent at all! Truth be told, you see it more today than ever before with the formation of such ideals as "Compassionate Conservative." What a crock! Here, let me translate that phrase for you.... "Hi, I am a bigot who, like my Democrat friend here will now get rich and powerful while pretending to care about you. Only I am going to do it by making your welfare programs more complicated, you more poor, and call that reform."

In the end, the only way to free the spirit and find equality is to end entitlements through actual ways out of the cycle of poverty. I find the Occupy Wall Street crowd most humorous because they call for access for all to wealth while trying to tear down the very institutions that can best deliver that access. Then they report to the banner bearers of slavery and segregation. Job done, no equality.
America is a nation not only enslaved, but the slaves bow willingly and submissively before their masters all the while grateful for their false freedom. Today, every aspect of our liberty and freedom seems to be under attack. Who stands guard as leaders twist and defy the meaning of our highest laws and traditions. We need to stop tolerating corrupt leaders and return INTEGRITY.

Solution

Everyone knows I am a Republican. But, I am NOT a "Compassionate Conservative" and I am also NOT an establishment Republican. It really pains me to say that last part because what I am is what the old establishment used to be... A Constitutional Republican. I believe in those words I opened this blog with.
"All men are created Equal". Black, White, Asian, Klingon, ect. I believe that what our Fore Fathers intended has been under attack since the ink hit the paper. What this country needs is to hit the "Reset" button and return to the values and integrity originally intended in our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, And our Bill of Rights. STOP ENSLAVING PEOPLE WITH ENTITLEMENTS! Provide a real way out for all who will reach for it. It will take faith from all to do it. faith in freedom, Faith in the USA, Faith in ourselves. But, we can do it! I am about to enter the race for the 1rst Congressional District of Massachusetts. Not as a Republican, though that is my party affiliation, but as a Liberator. And to return a voice to those who need it most. Only when we end the corruption and the exploitation of our poor will we ever be able to cry as Rev. King said, "Free at Last! Thank God almighty, I'm free at last!" Put me to work, and we will find that greatness and beyond.
I can promise this. I will not go to Washington to make friends. I will go to fight for the liberty and freedom of ALL! We need someone who doesn't care about money or power. We need a wild card. That is me, Russell Jenkins!

I need 2000 petition signatures to start my campaign. All who would be willing to help, please let me know.
RUSS JENKINS FOR US CONGRESS!

Birthers? What about them?

I'm a closet Birther.... In that, I mean that I want to believe that everything is in order and our President was, in fact born in Hawaii and is in full compliance to the office..... But, I don't.

When did it become high treason to ask simple questions to assure yourself or others that the person YOU HIRED, or at least someone did, is qualified for the job. Especially when the country you love depends on that person? Well, if you ask CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, or, even FOX NEWS, if you ask those questions, you might as well be living in a tailor park, drinking moonshine, and burning crosses.

Well, for anyone still asking questions, here are a few facts that may turn you into a treasonous "Birther".

1) Was Obama born in Kenya?
a - There is no record in any Hawaii hospital for a birth of a son in 1961 to Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Stanley Obama. A Certificate of Live Birth was, however, produced shortly after. This was common for children who were not born on the island but later reported as born to officials. A Birth certificate has been offered with the seal of Hawaii on it, after four years of pressure to have one produced. However, it has also been exposed by some as a fraud and now is being investigated and claimed as a fraud by the sheriff Arpaio Cold Case Posse.

2) Well, he must have been born somewhere, there must be a Birth Cert. in Kenya if he was born there. Why not just get that one?
a - That is a good question. But, you see, Obama's cousin and family are in charge of Kenya so records are not so easily gotten. His village, however are so proud that they have erected a statue to the child born there an now a US President. A Kenyan BC was, however produced with all the correct doctors and official signatures a few years back. But, it was quickly swallowed up by the media as a hoax because the man who presented it had a prior record. And, this is the part that most don't consider, Kenya was a colony of England at the time.... Official records were taken to England when Kenya received it's independence. Sooo,....

3) What about those England records?

a - I am glad you asked. Because guess what? In the British national Archives, there is record of a son born to Mr. Barack Hussein Obama Sr. in 1961 in a Kenya hospital. That's right, it has been right there the whole time! The POS is actually listed as a birth date of August 4th, 1961. Obama claims he was born on August 21rst but once again, no real record of that. The Daily Pen wrote a very detailed account of all this in July of 2012.
 http://thedailypen.blogspot.com/2012/03/ins-doc-found-us-certificate-issued-to.html 
Also, a very well written and detailed account at.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/md.general/VOVGtfUQ7z8

4) Why does it matter?
a - The framers of our Constitution very rightly were concerned that an usurper from any foreign interest, ESPECIALLY ENGLAND would be able to degrade our country from within. Assuming that Barrack Jr. was, in fact born in Kenya, one would just have to read his own book, "Dreams of my Father", to understand how a child born of Communist, anti-colonialist parents, raised by Communist Grandparents, educated as a muslim in anti-American communities, and mentored by Communist family friends and teachers could be a danger to America..... even if he was born here! I won't go into more detail here. I just recommend renting "2016, Obama's America" and as you watch this fact filled report, ask yourself this one question. "How much of this has to be true before this man should be Impeached and deported from our lands?" There is just too much material there.

5) Oh my gosh, isn't this all just racist?
a - Shut your stupid, self defecating, ignorant pie hole! people who buy that one have no business calling themselves Americans or taking pert on society as a whole. Obama isn't even black! He should have represented the best of all Americans as a Black and white man from Hawaii who had the privilege of living for a while in Indonesia. He has failed miserably and I consider it a great testament to the social growth we have made here that race relations didn't suffer more as a result. the greatest harm he has done, socially, economically, in the job market, and in every other way is to the minority community. If one were an actual racist... like most liberals I know,... one would just allow him to continue doing what he is doing.

One last point, We are SCREWED!. Right now, we don't need this birther issue to impeach Obama. The mess surrounding the attack in Benghazi 9/11/12 is boiling over and will probably lead to his impeachment. But, when that happens, think about it.

Crazy Joe takes over.
Then we impeach him for Benghazi, too!

Then, Kerry takes over. Oh God! What have we done???!!!

UPDATE:  yeah, already! Obama’s Birth Certificate To Be Questioned By Supreme Court Thanks To Relentless Sheriff I just posted this about ten minutes ago and already, an update!

Benghazi truth? If that is even possible.

Ambassador Stevens carried through the streets of Benghazi for 5 hours while US media alleged he was being helped to the hospital? More Obama White House lies!

I don't like to be right when the issue I am talking about involves Murder,lies and cover up. In fact, the only time I really want to be right is when I say things like "All America had reason to be proud today". That is not the case, however. I want so much to be wrong..... But, I'm not.
A while back, I wrote in my old blog that my theory of what happened in Benghazi was that Obama took a page from Jimmy Carters failed rescue of the Iranian Embassy Hostages and arranged for our consulate to be attacked and taken hostage so that the troops who were inexplicably told to "Stand Down" could swoop in at the right moment and save the day. That, would assure the election. It is likely, after all, that had the 1979 Embassy rescue succeeded, Carter would have served a second term on the merits of that success just as Obama has tried to use the Bin Laden killing.

Well, this scenario is the only one that made sense to me considering the panicked lies told by this administration. Why else would they resort to such terrible lies that would be exposed and cause so much damage if the truth was not even more damaging. Sort of like spreading rumors that Area 51 has UFO's to keep an aura of stupidity over those who report strange craft that are actually secret new weapons that are now dismissed as trailer park myths.
While everyone scratched their heads about the lies over an anti-Mohammad video, no one asks why our security forces, one of them at least, had to disobey orders to save two dozen people and then give their own lives.

A recent article supports my theory almost exactly. But Retired Admiral James Lyons goes farther in saying that Obama may have wanted Ambassador Stephens taken hostage to be used later to exchange for the Blind Sheik, the mastermind of the 9/11 attack. Who, we have in custody. Enraged by the unexpected resistance, the mob felt betrayed by Obama and started killing. 

Even after the "Whistle Blowers" testify this week, I ask you, what other stories make sense? A spontaneous mob angry about what? Libyans loved Stephens. It is the response of the Obama administration to this mess that is the most damning. They could have just shrugged and said they didn't know why the attack happened. Instead, it has been one lie after another. Like a child who has done something wrong who strings the wildest tale instead of just keeping their mouth shut and facing what ever catches up with them. Now, those digging for the truth are digging all the harder because they have been lied to and taken for fools.

Those who don't learn from the past....

It wasn't long ago that I watched "Rise of the Third Reich" on the History Channel. Of all the sights to behold on that program, it was a clip of a Nazi social party at someones house that was, to me, the most profound. A wealthy Jewish socialite was dancing around, eager to engage the interviewer. He asked her if she had heard Hitler speak and wondered how she could be so care free in the wake of reports that Jewish people were being rounded up. She replied, "Oh, that is just talk.... They would never do that." It was that last time she was seen after that point.

It is profound because, today, we all dance about, enjoying the great party of rude music, drugs, and all the decadence America has to offer while the talk is of backroom deals that degrade our constitution, usurping power to international groups made up cultures that hate us and even the very ones that once spawned the Nazi's, and elitists who, through passive aggressiveness, desire to seal their permanent social status through total dependency of the "lesser classes". And, when asked how they can just flutter through, as if nothing is wrong, they say. "Oh, that is just talk, they will never do that."

As outrageous as it sounds, don't you think it sounded outrageous to the 1930's Jewish people of Germany and the German people as a whole? Is it so outrageous when it is an established fact that there exists over two dozen relocation facilities throughout the US run by FEMA, and a plan to round up "certain" people in a state of emergency, that our President has outwardly decided that he has the right and power to kill Americans without due process, and the whole plan to disarm America "for our own good?" This has all happened before and is happening now.

Even many who know me well have decided that these days I sound a bit extreme when I compare the current political climate with Pre-WW2 Germany. Truth is, many who LIVED THROUGH the Jewish round-up are saying the same thing!

Really, everyone should be able to see what is happening. Lawmakers wanting to grab guns, tell you what products you need to buy and when, drone surveillance on civilians, a President who asks for the authority to kill American citizens without trial or due process, media being controlled by those very same people who are trying to corner the market on power. Like I said before, this has all happened before and is happening again.... Except for the drone part, it all happened in Nazi Germany and very other period just prior to mass killings of civilians by tyrants. Now, add the drones back in and you just magnify the body count.

It is even a fact that, located throughout the US, there are "FEMA" camps waiting for Americans who, according to a recent bill signed by Obama, include any in a range of politically disagreeable groups.... Basically, those who don't agree with him. These camps were supposedly set up to house families in the event of disaster.... Yet, they are circled with barbed wire fences.... POINTED IN! The clear intent is to keep those "relocated" from getting out. The most disturbing image is that these camps contain playgrounds for children behind fences meant for prisons.

Never since 1865, has this nation been closer to civil war has it is in 2013. Election fraud, Benghazi, Challenges to the Constitution, Economic slump, ect.

Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it!  Prepare to fight... or pack for a one way move.

Emperor Obama's New Clothes By http://thepeoplescube.com

More than lavish vacations and golfing, Emperor Obama valued appearances, which consumed a bigger share of his government's budget than the army, the people, or the economy.

One day Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid informed Obama that they could dress him up in a way that would make him even more appealing to his fan base than he had ever been. At the same time, these new magic clothes would be invisible to the low-brow conservative knuckle-draggers, who didn't support his policies.

Obama couldn't miss a chance to shine - while, at the same time, to find out exactly whom to add to his "enemies list." Therefore, he ordered the two politicians to make the new clothes ready for his next inauguration ceremony.

Pelosi and Reid demanded a pile of taxpayer money, which put the country in an even bigger debt, and started their work in a backroom of the Capitol building. Day and night they were busy making their designs, and from time to time they'd asked for more taxpayer money.

After a time, Emperor Obama sent his trusty media reporters to check on their progress. As Pelosi and Reid went on about the great patterns and originality of the Emperor's new magic clothes, the media reporters soaked up every word and concurred in unison: "They are magnificent!"

To Emperor Obama's delight, the reporters planted the news in all media channels, repeating all of Pelosi's words. The world's best photojournalists published pictures of the glorious magic cloth. While no one could see the actual cloth, everyone pretended they saw splendid textures because they were terrified that others would think of them as low-brow conservative knuckle-draggers.

When the day came, Emperor Obama was presented with the clothes - but, to his horror, he couldn't see anything! Nevertheless, noticing everyone else's adulation, he pretended he saw the invisible clothes and made the motions of putting them on.

Then Obama went out to meet his subjects, as his image was being projected onto a gigantic TV screen. Everyone stood in awe, praising what they could not see, but trusting the words of others, who, in their turn, also relied on someone else's opinion. At the same time, they loudly ridiculed the low-brow conservative knuckle-draggers who were too close-minded and unrefined to appreciate the beauty of Obama's new clothes.

Suddenly, a small child, too young to know how bad it was to be thought of as a low-brow conservative knuckle-dragger, pointed at Obama and shouted, "The Emperor has no clothes!" Upon hearing the child's proclamation, the Obama voters suddenly realized that their Emperor indeed was standing in front of them naked. The next thing they suddenly realized was that it had to be a new, cool trend.

With a loud cheer, they all stripped naked and ran towards the White House, glorifying Obama and marveling at his extraordinary beauty and wisdom.

Gun control FACTS

It is amazing these days to listen to those kind hearted liberals who want to "save the children". All they ask is that we terrible war mongers hand over our guns. Somehow, that is supposed to translate to a safer world because only the criminals will have guns. Only problem is, last time I checked, it was the mentally ill or hardened criminals that are killing people. Actually, the whole gun thing is optional for them. Turns out they can use things like knives, baseball bats, poison, or even AIDS to accomplish their goals.

 Gun control has never worked. In fact, the thing that has worked is the exact opposite, expanded concealed carry laws along with severe penalties for the criminal.  Let's look at it from the other end, put yourself in the mind of a monster who is thinking about shooting up a school. He starts in Austin TX where there were only 35 homicides last year. "If I do this here, the guy across the street who might be carrying will just stop me before I can get inside," He thinks, "and, if I succeed, I will be executed by the state...... I think it is time for a road trip to Chicago! Or, another state that does not allow citizens to carry or have capital laws." Gun control does NOT WORK! It puts targets on our kids. Monsters are cowards who will always look for the least protected, helpless victims they can find. 

The difference is that in Austin, if the person with a Concealed Carry license, like myself, is walking past a school while someone is pulling rifles out of a trunk, they will take position, order the person to explain what they are doing, and retain the person until authorities can arrive. You see, in states like Utah or Texas, citizens can also perform arrests. Did you notice the extra perk of this story? The gunman also lived.

Another point often lost among those arguing this issue, (mostly without any knowledge of what they are debating, Example - AR rifles are NOT automatic military issued rifles.) is that those who go through certified Concealed Carry training are explained the solemn duty they are undertaking. They are choosing to possibly lay down their lives for someone and also that taking a life WILL hurt them forever. They are told to consider these things before applying. These are not extremists but citizens who have chosen to protect your life at the possible expense of all they are. They are not people with "compensation for something" issues, but federally screened and checked, responsible individuals willing to make sacrifices to protect.

In the end, no intelligent argument has ever been made for gun control. Such measures have only ever caused increased crime and murder rates. Just look at any state with harsh gun laws and you will find the states where the mass murders have been committed. Those with Carry laws are those where kids play free and safe because the predator has to get past several armed neighbors before they can find prey.... Low crime and violent acts.

The answer will never be strict gun laws. The answer is clear, severe punishment for criminals and misuse of firearms, Concealed Carry for responsible citizens who take a certified course, and Mental health access.

Bill Cosby unloads about kids

Truth is still true even of it offends someone. Thank you Bill and thank you Adam for sharing this. Those who are offended by what Bill has to say here NEED TO BE OFFENDED so maybe they will save themselves

BILL HAS GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN...

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa.

I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... And all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.

Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed. D.

WELL SAID, BILL It's NOT about color...It's about behavior!!!

Mormon Q&A

I am a Mormon. I have been for most my life and have served as a missionary as well as an Elder in the Melchizedek priesthood. I would say that I know what I am talking about when I answer the following common questions. Please, if anyone wishes to know something not talked about here, please post a reply and I will eagerly answer to the best of my ability.

Q. Oh, Russ, you are LDS.... How many wives do you have?
A. One.... we only marry one wife. And, we are more likely than any other religion to remain married to that special lady.
As for the Polygamists in AZ and UT... They are not Mormons by our definition. They actually are more like Pentecostals that read the Book of Mormon.
To have more than one wife in our faith is forbidden and brings excommunication. That said, yes we did practice polygamy in the mid 1800's. The one fact no one else seems to want to point out about that is that it was not only legal and practiced throughout the bible, it was practiced by many from all faiths until made illegal in the 1890's. At that time, we stopped the practice since its purpose in preservation of our faith while those of other faiths hunted us like animals was served.

Q. Hey, what about drinking? Why don't you guys drink alcohol or coffee?
A. Do you really have to ask? We don't do illegal drugs, either. Everything can be done in moderation without harm. But, in this day and age, who really does anything in moderation? We stay far from such things because even moderately intoxicated, it is a barrier between us and our families as well as our God. Coffee and tea literally tan the body from the inside out as well as cause havoc with metabolic systems. Smoking requires no answer.

Q. Ok, but I heard you weren't Christians.
A. I heard that too. Then I opened my Bible and guess what? It talks about Christ. I opened my Book of Mormon and guess what? It talks about Christ. I opened my Doctrine and Covenants, again, it talks about Christ. Then I opened my Hymn book..... We sing hymns about.... CHRIST. In fact, we are called the Church of Jesus Christ (as was the original church that we claim to be) Of Latter Day Saints (Meaning the original church restored through a prophet.)
This irritates me. We believe all followers of Christ carry truth and potential. But, you want to find out how ignorant someone is, wait for them to say the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST are not Christians.

Q. I'd like to talk to those nice young men I see doing missionary work but don't want them to force me to join.
A. TALK TO THEM. They are taught to be respectful and that if are to receive the gospel and join, it will be on your terms and only when the time is right. They will teach you something simple that is so missing in the world today. You are a son or daughter of God and therefore, worth respect from yourself and others.

Q. OK, what about those temples.... what goes on there?
A. That is something really special. We believe that all who have lived are deserving of a chance to receive the gospel and all the opportunities in Our fathers kingdom. The Zulu warrior that lived over a hundred years ago and never saw anyone outside their world let alone hear that Christ lived is just as much a child of God and just a valued as we are. The work done in the temple is for the dead to allow them the same opportunity and baptism.

Q. Well, what about black people? Do they have the priesthood? I heard they didn't for a long time. that's just wrong!
A. Our brothers and sisters of color are just that, our brothers and sisters. One of the first men Joseph Smith ordained to the Melchizedek priesthood was a freed slave. Something happened several years later where the saints asked Brigham Young when they arrived in Utah whether the slaves they brought should have the priesthood. He brought the matter to God but received no answer, much like the way a father allows a child to work a question out when they should really know the answer in the first place. That period of silence lasted for over one hundred years until in 1977, God felt the saints were ready for the answer. That answer was.. "DUH! What did you think I was doing when I told Joseph to ordain his friend!"
The worthy men of all races who waited were always entitled to the priesthood. It is a shameful lesson we live with just as throughout time, God has had to let his children work out the obvious. For this reason, also, we came to respect and love our members of color on a level not shared with any other faith. We had to work for it. It took one hundred years of all saints crying out to show our love for each other and convince our Heavenly father we were ready after asking such a dumb question. The test was not whether they were worthy. Mormons quickly abolished slavery among our brethren and were always at the front for recognition of equal rights. The test was whether those who asked this question were worthy of our black brethren. We are a diverse people who love and cherish each other as a family. But, I can say that I look upon my brothers and sisters with different skin hues with a bit more appreciation because I know that they followed the prophet even when they may not have felt as appreciated. In the end, though, considering the deep persecution of the saints in the 1800's, this may have spared the many lives of those who also had to deal with racial persecution. A Mormon Elder who was black would almost certainly been a target for the haters. That may just be my own speculation. But, I am grateful for these brethren who's deep faith and stories inspire my own progress.

Q. What about "alternative" lifestyles?
A. There are no children of our Heavenly Father who he does not love and cherish as much as any other. Sex outside marriage is wrong. No room for argument on that. Marriage is man to woman. That said, loving someone is nit a sin and never has been. But, acting upon that love in certain ways is most defiantly sinful and wrong. Just as if you love your friends wife, you keep it to yourself because she is married and it hurts a family to share that. Otherwise, isn't it great that someone so wonderful can exist that can be so loved? The same for gays. It is great to love someone. But, the sin happens when the act outside marriage happens. And, marriage is man and woman. That is not going to change. The natural order of all things surrounds the family. Man-woman-child-cute kitten and/or dog. There is an important place for all Gods children and those of alternate needs are blessed when they put their own needs aside to serve God.

OK, I hope I have answered some questions for some. I know that our Lord lives and am grateful to share these things with you. I know the Church of Jesus Christ LDS to be the true church of God and invite more questions. I Share these things in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Things taught to me by Brother Kalaii

It is hard to believe, now as I limp from place to place on my severely nerve damaged leg and have put on a "few" pounds since then, but once I studied under the greatest Karate Master of all time. Kalaii Kano Griffin.
Yes, it is true that there have been many greats, like Bruce Lee, Thunderbolt Chow, Ed Parker, The great Chuck Norris and the list goes on. And, each that I have named, taught the art of the soul as well as the art of martial combat.
But, what Brother Kalaii did beyond all others is that he taught the pure, disciplined art to kids and adults alike who came from all walks of life, All races, all social places and he brought them together to not only perform at peak levels, winning national titles, but he taught them that all were equal and every one of them not only could do anything, they had a responsibility to do it.
In the studio and in life, we lived by the slogan, "A Dragon you are, and a Dragon you will die". The meaning of that is simple, you are not white, you are not black, you are not rich, and you are not poor.... You are a DRAGON. Your brothers and sisters are your brothers and sister. And, after all these years, so much lost time, I miss my brothers and sisters as deeply as if we were all birthed from the same mother.
Why do I call Master Griffin "Brother Kalaii?" That is an honor not to be taken freely. He was like a father to so many and called his students his children. I also learned so much from him. But, he honored me by calling me his brother after we had many deep philosophical talks. In spirit of the honor he gave to me, I don't call him Master or Teacher, though he always will be to me, I call him Brother because he was so much more and I feel I honor him more in this.
For his students, Brother Kalaii always had the time to sit and talk to them as if they were they only person who mattered. He taught us that the only limitations we would ever encounter was the one we placed before ourselves.
On March 7th, 2008, Brother Kalaii was called home after battling colon cancer. To say I loved the man doesn't begin to say it. Every good thing I am today, or have ever been, or ever will be is because I was lucky enough to know this man, Grand Master, Kalaii Kano Griffin. I missed the chance to say goodbye to my brother because work pulled me away to the point we lost touch those final years. But, as with all Iron Dragons, I feel him close and look forward to the day we are re-united in the heavens tournament. He is there with Bruce, Master Parker, and all the others. We can hear them in the thunder and feel them in our hearts. To all by Brothers and Sisters, "A Dragon you are, and a Dragon you will die." No bond can ever be stronger.

Civil War facts versus media hype

A while back, we commemorated the 150 year anniversary of the start of the civil war. I remember talking heads on all networks hyping the slavery aspect of the war and calling for all to recognize that the war was about slavery. I guess that is the price of our high technology lifestyle. The one with the most media access gets to re-write history. Yes, slavery was a big part of the civil war. It was, in fact, the single biggest factor for President Lincoln. But, let us not forget, it was the South that fired the first shots. So, why did they declare war on the north? To answer that, or really to un-answer that, put yourself in the heads of two men in 1861.

First, picture yourself a man from Massachusetts in 1861 such as several of my great great grandfathers were. You are told that people of color are being oppressed in southern states and feel that this just will not do. You want to make things better for these people. The question is put before you, "Will you fight to the death for this cause?" It is easy to imagine yourself saying, "Yes! Sign me up!" The cause is noble and right..... Only thing is, in reality, people in the north did not have anywhere the righteous indignation on the subject we like to imagine. There was arguably even more distaste for Blacks in the north.

Now, put yourself in the head of a man from a southern state at the time. You are asked, "Will you fight to the death to keep your slaves?" The likely answer would be, "What do I look like? I can barely afford seed for this years crop! I don't have slaves! Go ask a plantation owner!" How many people would ever fight such a bitter war to continue an immoral and unpopular practice?
The fact is, though the issue at the time was whether the Federal government could tell states that they had to change laws about slavery, that was just part of the issue. Most southerners not only didn't have slaves, they didn't believe slavery was moral. General Lee, the highest southern general, was greatly opposed to slavery. But the real reason the south fought was simple. They felt the Federal government infringe on the sovereign rights of states on many levels and issues for a long time. Presidents who were supposed to have little power usurped power from Congress time and time again. Southerners felt that the freedoms fought for in the Revolutionary War were dwindling
as Presidents assumed more power becoming the new monarchy. States, that were supposed to operate independently, felt the Federal government usurp more and more authority from them.  Slavery was something most would never have fought for. Freedom from oppression was worth the fight.

The reality of the time, different from what is portrayed, is that most times, a slave would escape the terrible master who beat them and run to the north where they would then be captured, tortured and killed. Northern prejudice and ignorance is far deadlier that southern... because they smile at you as if they were your best friend while they do it.

I take issue with the distortion of this war for a few reasons. First, it is just plain not truthful and it slanders a whole people and labels them and the generations that followed. Second, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We see that today as once again, Americans are reaching the breaking point as the federal government usurps authority from states and a power crazed president usurps more and more power from congress. This has been going on since the precedent set by Jackson, Lincoln, and others presidents since. Now, we are seeing a president approaching the appearance of a King and Americans are talking about rising up. Is this really a new idea? No, it is the very same reason the south rose in 1861. It happens because truth is hidden behind the hype in hopes that it will die. But, as we are seeing now, a government out of control will always breed rebellion. The old battle cry was that the "South will rise again!" But I am here to correct the record... it never fell. A terrible practice that most in the south at the time despised was banned. The rebellion against a government out of control continued in the hearts of Americans South and North, keeping check until the day our freedom is so threatened that AMERICA RISES AGAIN!

Food for thought vs. Feast for thought

Often, people like to throw opinions around and end by calling them "Food for thought". While often, these tid bits can be very informative and educational, I am left to wonder if maybe there could be more substance if only the person "sharing" their opinion was actually engaging others to share their points of view on the matter. An open dialog of intelligent {that is important,} views. Many courses to the meal of knowledge....... A FEAST FOR THOUGHT. I dedicate this blog to all who are hungry for truth and knowledge.. and this who are just wanting to snack on random trivia.
