Sadness over Elections

The demographics of Washington hasn't’
changed after the last election.  The Senate is still Democrat and the House
is Republican.  I just wonder who will give in first, the President or the
Republican party.  I am afraid our country will not be able to recover
from all the changes that this president puts into effect.   2014 will see the bulk of Obamacare implemented,
hitting the people that can least afford it. 
Will our guns and freedom of speech be next?  He says that he will bankrupt the coal
companies and will not let us drill oil; and yet he says that he wants us to be
energy independent.  How does he expect
us to do that: solar power, wind, and electric cars that no one wants.  We have too many people in this country to
depend just on these things.  I agree,
some day when the technology is ready we can switch to these, but it is not
ready yet.

I am optimistic that we will
make it through President Obama, just as we made it through FDR and LBJ and all
their welfare programs.  Although it is
the accumulation of all those programs that is the reason why we are in this
mess today.  We need to deal with these
programs now before we step off the fiscal cliff. 

Weight Loss

I see commercials about losing weight with all the programs on TV. Either with pills or programs that swear that you will loose weight. The best way is to eat right and lose the weight a little at a time.

The reason I know is I used to weight 335 lbs and now I weigh 152 lbs. It took me a year to lose 135 lbs by becoming a CNA and working at a nursing home. I got down to 200 lbs and started gaining again because I started to eat the way I used to (ice cream and candy). I went back up to 232 lbs. Four and a half years ago I started losing weight again, I have lost 80 lbs since. I do recommend exercise but I was not able to because of my health. I am proud of what I have been able to do. I know that it takes does take some will power to do this and I am not saying that it is easy but it can be done. I do go off my diet sometime but not enough to gain the weight back. I am happy that I lost the weight and I am going to keep it off this time.

Listening to Rush 6/17/2011

I am listening to Rush talking about the hatred of the rich. There was a pole asking how people felt about whether there was to many or not enough rich people. Well I for one think there is not enough rich because I am not one of them.

I really do not not know weather I would like to be rich but I would like to have the chance to try. I do not begruge anyone who can become rich. Why should I? I have as much chance as anyone else. My husband and I own a small business and I would like it to get bigger. Also my husband is a author and I would like him to be successful. Everyone has the chance to be rich if they put their mind to put their mind to it.

The people that want us to be dependent are the ones that want the power. I want to take care of myself. I was raised in a dependent family. My father was on disability and my mother received a check for each of us children, there were four of us. We moved every six months because that was when the bills caught up to us. Did the government take care of us no. Living like that is no fun. And after living like that I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!!!!!!!!!! I also don't understand why people would like to live like that. People do not learn to take care of the things themselves they learn it is better not to.

Government Shut Down

I have been watching for days the posibility of a government shut-down and I do not see how it will be such a bed thing.  If the government shuts down Obama and the Demacrates can not keep on spending. I don't think that It will be shut-down for long because Obama is now in campain mode and he wants to be re-elected.  I hope that this country will make it through one term of Obama much less two terms.   

Obama and Energy

I just read an article in Fox Business and it was talking about Obama's current energy program and to me it sounds just like the one he has been pushing.  He wants to build four new bio-fuel plants (which makes the corn that they use cost more).  He has made it impossible for us to drill for oil in the gulf while giving other countries permission to drill.  It also goes to on to say that they are going to "give new and better incentives to promote rapid, responsible development of other resources"  That is all well and good but let us drill where there is oil that has been found.  Open the gulf again to the oil companies and also Alaska.  We will get the technology to have more efficient cars given time but when we are forced it doesn't work very well. When it is pushed lives are lost because more "efficient cars" means smaller.  That gets people killed because when they wreak with bigger cars they lose.  More lives are lost also when you have more efficient cars because people drive more.   The only thing I like about this plan is he is talking about putting more city vehicles on natural gas. 

You can tell that Obama is running for re-election.  I don't know how he plans to get re-elected on policies like that.       

Libya

I agree that Obama had something to do with the uprising in Libya and the Middle East.  Not that he is a strong President but because he such a weak President.  The world looks to us to keep the world at peace and when we have a president that bows down to other dictators and reaches out to the villians that would spit at us or even kill us the world falls apart.  Most of the uprises are led by the Muslim Brotherhood who would like to take over the U.S and turn it into a Muslim stronghold.  They would like to impose Sheria Law that would force all women to be cover from head to foot, not to go out without a male relative and all the rest that go along with it.  I for one do not want to be under Sheria Law.  I am 46 years old woman and want to be able to keep my freedom. 

What I am afraid of is that by the time that Obama is out of office we will have more countries that hate us.  I also am afraid that Israel will not be around because of Obama.  We are also about to lose England as a alie  Also he will go out of his way to destroy this country.  I hope we will be able to hold on until 2012.  I also I hope that the Republicans that we put in office last year will get the BALLS to fight him. 

Why are we in Libya

Why are in Libya?  The whole of Europe is in arms why do we chose to go into Libya?  I don't know much about Qaddafi but I think that we should not be in a civil war.  If the people of Libya want Qaddafi out let them take them out.  We are in two wars already, we don't need to be in a third.  Especially one that if we put in ground troops the people will turn against our forces.  We have spent Millions shooting rockets into Libya when we are borrowing billions and billions to keep our country going with no end in sight.  When is Obama or the Republicans going to stop the spending?  Obama never, Republicans don't have the BALLS to stop him.  We have a health care plan that is going to break this country.  One that a judge or judges have found unconstitutional but, Obama is still putting in place.  When are the republicans going to defund it? 

The Tea Party need to get back into arms and get the Republicans to keep their promises?  We have been sitting on our tail ends doing nothing.

 

 

Obama and World Affairs

Since Obama became President, the world has fallen apart.  When we had a strong President in the White House theworld was a stable place.  Obama when he came into office he bowed or showed favor toward the other leaders.  He has turned our friends into enemies and tried to (and failed) to make our enemies into friends.  He felt (and does not understand) that if he put out his hand of friendship they would fall over themselves to take it.  Not bite it.  For the last few months Europe is falling apart, what is Obama doing?  Playing golf, basket ball or partying in the White House.  Today I was listening to Rush and he was talking about "How Obama was making his picks for March Madness".  Japan has had a tsunami, Libya is fighting a civil war and the rest of the world is at war.  He can't even take enough interest in what is happening in this country except when the Unions were protesting in Wisconsin.   At that all he could say is that Walker was being unfair to the Union.  

England and Israel are our friends and Obama has done his best to either to make them our enemies or make sure they cease to exist.  He spends millions to repair mosques in other countries but, will not put money in  our country to make sure our infrastructure is repaired.  If he talks about infrastructure it is to tell us we need to spend more money for unions to repair the roads.  One of the stimulus's spending bills was supposed to be for infrastructure got spent somewhere else.    

Earth Quake in Japan

My prayers are with the families of the people that were lost in Japan.  I hope that they will get the help that they need. 

Please pray for the people that are in the path of the waves that are going across the ocean.  Please get away from the coastal neighborhoods.  We do not know how high or strong these waves are. 

Wisconsin passing bill.

I want to applaud Wisconsin for passing the bill eliminating collective-bargaining rights.  I think that the unions have held the U.S hostage for far to long.  They have made states raise their taxes to pay their demands.  I have read articil after artichical saying that the unions don't care how it is done as long as they get theirs.  What happens to the dues, they are spent to get more  Democrats elected into office so the unions can demand more in dues.  It has come a viscus circle.  I think that the Democrats who stayed in Illinois showed their true colors.  They show how little they cared for their jobs and the people they repersent.  The Unions who camped out in the capital building also showed that they don't care about who they are supposed to work for.  The teacher closed down the schools so they can protest.  The Unions shipped in protesters from out of state so they can swell the workers from the state.  I think that Gov. Scott Walker showed what he is made of by not backing down and I hope that he will keep doing what is best for the state and not what is good for the unions.   

Wisconson showed some gumpshun and passed a bill that public-employee union members to contribute 5.8% of their pensions and to pay 12,6% of health-care.  Also that is half of what private employees in the state have to pay.
