Welcome to the Government run Media

CNN and MSNBC are planning mini series of Hillary Clinton.  Can we take a poll on what they will put in and what they will leave out.  Does the Arab Spring and Benghazi come to mind.

 

Is CNN or MSNBC going to do a similar cream puff job for the opposition candidate?  Where have we come as a nation when the media takes sides so blatantly before an election.  Do you remember the (OLD) USSR that had Pravda Media as the State run news source?  How well did that work out for the people?

 

We are now in the 5th year of this drive toward Socialism/Communism and if we do not watch out we too will be standing in line for bread.

 

Please pray for the innocent children who are killed every day on the streets of Chicago, Camden, Philadelphia and other major Democrat run cities.

Get Rid of the Teachers' Unions and Save Education

Hi Folks: Been away for a while, No- not in jail, moved and then the computer took a turn for the worst and I could not do anything for it and so it past on to that great Mother Board in the Sky.

Anyway, we is (went to bublic schol) back and still kicking ass. Need to change the name of this blog though, or maybe not. Saw a great story and video clip of a documentary that is coming out about the state of American schools ( Waiting for Superman). Unless you have been moving and lost your computer, you already know that they Stink with a major capitol "S".

Speaking of " , for all of you who "Hate" Glenn Beck, you really ought to listen to him or watch his TV Fox News Channel at 5pm before you start foaming at the mouth about how awful he is. He comments about people with their own words not his and then you can make the judgment call. Check out his web site.

I know that there are a few people who still care more about having fun than doing the correct thing. So when you Go About Getting It On try and use protection because abortion is truly MURDER. Check out this web site.

And I will leave you with: Stop our Marxist Obama by voting Conservative this November 2

The Fallacy of "Fairness" part 3

I feel that reprinting this is better than me trying to paraphrase it. Here is Dr. Thomas Sowell and if you get a chance look up the first two---what a mind.

The Fallacy of "Fairness": Part III
Thomas Sowell
Thursday, February 11, 2010
.
Most of us want to be fair, in the sense of treating everyone equally. We want laws to be applied the same to everyone. We want educational, economic or other criteria for rewards to be the same as well. But this concept of fairness is not only different from prevailing ideas of fairness among many of the intelligentsia, it contradicts their idea of fairness.
.
People like philosopher John Rawls call treating everyone alike merely "formal" fairness. Professor Rawls advocated "a conception of justice that nullifies the accidents of natural endowment and the contingencies of social circumstances." He called for a society which "arranges" end-results, rather than simply treating everyone the same and letting the chips fall where they may.
.
This more hands-on concept of fairness gives third parties a much bigger role to play. But whether any human being has ever had the omniscience to determine and undo the many differences among people born into different families and cultures-- with different priorities, attitudes and behavior-- is a very big question. And to concentrate the vast amount of power needed to carry out that sweeping agenda is a dangerous gamble, whose actual consequences have too often been written on the pages of history in blood.
.
There is no question that the accident of birth is a huge factor in the fate of people. What is a very serious question is how much anyone can do about that without creating other, and often worse, problems. Providing free public education, scholarships to colleges and other opportunities for achievement are fine as far as they go, but there should be no illusion that they can undo all the differences in priorities, attitudes and efforts among different individuals and groups.
.
Trying to change whole cultures and subcultures in which different individuals are raised would be a staggering task. But the ideology of multiculturalism, which pronounces all cultures to be equally valid, puts that task off limits. This paints people into whatever corner the accident of birth has put them.
.
Under these severe constraints, all that is left is to blame others when the outcomes are different for different individuals and groups. Apparently those who are lagging are to continue to think and act as they have in the past-- and yet somehow have better outcomes in the future. And, if they don't get the same outcomes as others, then according to this way of seeing the world, it is society's fault!
.
Society may lavish thousands of dollars per year on schooling for a youngster who does not bother to study, and yet when he or she emerges as a semi-literate adult, it is considered to be society's fault if such youngsters cannot get the same kinds of jobs and incomes as other youngsters who studied conscientiously during their years in school.
.
It is certainly a great misfortune to be born into families or communities whose values make educational or economic success less likely. But to have intellectuals and others come along and misstate the problem does not help to produce better results, even if it produces a better image.
.
Political correctness may make it hard for anyone to challenge the image of helpless victims of an evil society. But those who are lagging do not need a better public relations image. They need the ability to produce better results for themselves-- and a romantic image is an obstacle to directing their efforts toward developing that ability.
.
Tests and other criteria which convey the realities of their existing capabilities, compared to that of others, can have what is called a "disparate impact," and are condemned not only in editorial offices but also in courts of law.
.
But criteria exist precisely to have a disparate impact on those who do not have what these criteria exist to measure. Track meets discriminate against those who are slow afoot. Tests in school discriminate against students who did not study.
.
Disregarding criteria in the interest of "fairness"-- in the sense of outcomes independent of inputs-- adds to the handicaps of those who already have other handicaps, by lying to them about the reasons for their situation and the things they need to do to make their situation better.

Murder on Demand

“For the unborn, there is not justice. He is the weakest human being; nobody is protecting him,” the cardinal said as he reflected upon the reaction to his remarks. “I am aware that in Canada, in Quebec in particular, you will not reform society at the moral level by teaching morals first. It will be through a new evangelization.”

There you have it: these are just a few words that appear in the following article (click here).

The United States has not yet gotten to this point; however with the continued secularization going on in this country it will only be a matter of time.

Murder on Demand and don't even try and stop us. Abortion is murder. Obamacare will open the door for the same demands here in this great God fearing nation. 'nuff said.

What really happened at the First Thanksgiving

The Massachusetts Thanksgiving Story
from Governor Bradford.
[COMMENT: If Americans understood the economic principles below, and how Godly economics works, we would be a different country. But we have drifted back into the control mentality and given up our understanding of, or desire for, freedom. We want to be taken care of by Government Nanny. That is the road to slavery on the government plantation.
.
But God has better for us. Pray that we wake up in time.
Socialists claim that free enterprise and capitalism are inherently greedy and selfish. They do not raise that issue about those who run the centralized bureaucracies of socialism and communism..., who have, in almost every case, themselves been the most greedy, self-centered, and destructive of all people. It all depends on who is doing the work. It would be hard to outdo the self-centeredness of Communist and socialist leaders of the 20th century. Capitalism can also be run by greedy people.
.
The issues are two: (1) the system itself, and whether one or the other conforms more closely to the plan of God for how we distribute and use the goods He has given us; and, (2) the spiritual life of all involved.
(1) The basic problem with socialism of any form is its inherent need for coercion. People do not naturally line up all the same. And there are some things which ought not be coerced -- such as charity -- i.e., redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor.
.
(2) It is not true that private enterprise is naturally greedy. Adam Smith, the great classical economist, said that the local farmer does not supply my needs out of his desire for me to eat well, but out of his own desire to eat well, to be clothed and housed, etc. That is not true as a general statement, and played right into the hands of socialists. Putting the matter that way slants the issue toward believing that providing for myself and my family is exclusive of wanting to do well for other people. That is not so, and a tragic misrepresentation of both spiritual and economic truth.
.
The Second Great Commandment does not say that we are to love others instead of ourselves, but as ourselves. If I do not love myself, I will not be able to love my neighbor. If my farm goes bankrupt, I will not be able to supply my neighbor. Loving my neighbor means including my neighbor in the circle of my own wealth, not renouncing wealth per se. Some may need to renounce their wealth (as Jesus said to one fellow) if they have an idolatry of their wealth.
.
But a Godly farmer will genuinely want to do well for others, not cheat on his customers, not give as little as possible for the maximum return, and not be satisfied until he has done a good job for his customer. To say that people cannot behave that way is nonsense. For a Godly farmer, the farm is primarily about good relationship, not about getting rich.
.
The question is really a spiritual one. Is the farmer (or the customer, or the commissar) trusting God for his own sense of personal stability and meaning, and obeying God for his purpose for existence? If he is not, he will not be able consistently to love his neighbor as he loves himself. But if he is dependent on and obedient to God, he will be able to carry out his trade with a genuine love of neighbor. He will want to respect the need of the neighbor to provide for himself and his family just as he is for his own family, and will thus run his business in that manner. Genuinely good business practices are also good Christianity, part of the Way of the Cross, a self-discipline for myself, my family, and my customers.

In the middle of December 1620 the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, leaving behind the sinfulness of the “old world” to make a “new Jerusalem” in America. Three years later, in November 1623, they had a great feast thanking God for getting them through an earlier famine, and now for a bountiful crop.
.
What had created the earlier famine and then the bountiful crops? The story is told in the diary of Governor Bradford, who was one of the elders of that early Puritan colony.
.
At first, they decided to turn their back on all the institutions of the England that had been their home. This included the institution of private property, which they declared to be the basis of greed, averse, and selfishness. Instead, they were determined to live the “Platonic ideal” of collectivism, in which all work would be done in common, with the rewards of their collective efforts evenly divided among the colonists. Farming was done in common, as well as housekeeping and child raising. This was supposed to lead to prosperity and brotherly love.
.
But their experiment in collectivism did not lead to prosperity or brotherly love. Rather, it created poverty and envy and slothfulness among most of the members of this little society. Here is Bradford’s description of what communism created among the Pilgrims:
“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labor and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense. The strong had no more in division of victuals and clothes than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labors everything else, thought it some indignity and disrespect unto them.
.
“And for men's wives to be commanded to do service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could many husbands well brook it. Upon the point all being to have alike, and all to do alike, they thought themselves in the like condition, and one as good as another; and so, if it did not cut off those relations that God hath set amongst men, yet it did at least much diminish and take off the mutual respects that should be preserved amongst them” Let none object this is men's corruption, and nothing to the course itself. I answer, seeing all men have this corruption in them, God in His wisdom saw another course fitter for them.”
.
For two years the harvest time failed to bring forth enough to feed the people. Indeed, many starved and many died of famine. Faced with this disaster, the elders of the colony gathered, Governor Bradford tells us, and decided that another year, and they would surely all die and disappear in the wilderness.
Instead, they decided to divide the property and fields of the colony, and gave each family a piece as their own. Whatever they did not use for their own consumption, they had the right to trade away to their neighbors for something they desired instead.
.
Now, instead of sloth, envy, resentment, and anger among the colonists, there was a great turnaround in their activities. Industry, effort, and joy were now seen in practically all that the men, women and children did. Bradford writes:
“They had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression”. By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the faces of things were changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.”
.
Indeed, their bounty was so great, that they had enough to not only trade among themselves but also with the neighboring Indians in the forest. In November 1623, they had a great feast to which they also invited the Indians. They prepared turkey and corn, and much more, and thanked God for bringing them a bountiful crop. They, therefore, set aside a day of “Thanksgiving.”
.
So this November 23rd, when we all sit down with our families and friends to enjoy the turkey and the trimmings, let us not forget that we are celebrating the establishment and triumph of capitalism and the spirit of enterprise in America!

WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. Old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :
.
New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !
.Since the Pledge of Allegiance And The Lord's Prayer Are not allowed in most Public schools anymore Because the word 'God' is mentioned.... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached .

NEW School prayer :
.
Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd.
.
If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now.
.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
.
For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state.
.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.. It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
.
We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles. But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd.
.
It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess. So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take!
. Amen
