new preamble to the constitution

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA.
'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-grea t-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.'
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to chang e our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

on another note...
On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:
"Yesterday, December 7, 1941-- a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked."
Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'" "WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?"

Most Embarrassing Award Winners in Automotive History

This was funny to read. Found it on Yahoo Autos.
"Dishonorable Mention: The 10 Most Embarrassing Award Winners in Automotive History"
Did you own or love the 83 Renault Alliance, 02 Ford Thunderbird, 71 Chevrolet Vega, 97 Cadillac Catera, 85 Merkur XR4Ti, 97 Chevrolet Malibu, 90 Lincoln Town Car, 80 Chevrolet Citation, 74 Ford Mustang II, 95 Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique. Those were once named "Motor Trend Car of the Year" or "Car and Driver 10 Best Cars." Car & Driver is taking back those titles and are not afraid to admit they were wrong to give them.

hmm, history seems to shine true light onto things--gives us perspective.
What might we say 15 - 30 years from now on the events occurring right now?

My parents once owned a Lincoln Town Car. We took a huge across the United States trip, visiting almost every state.

thanks, Pres Bush

You got to Pray

Remember that song? "You got to pray, Pray! you got to Pray.." Carmen, right?
The Glenn Beck Program on Fox News today reported: Moment of silence in IL public schools ruled unconstitutional.
That's IL for ya. Can't even say the word prayer. They are eliminating even the possibility of prayer in schools.

here are some quotes from Thomas Jefferson I thought were applicable:

• The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
• I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. (universal healthcare)
• My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
• No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
• To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Barack Obama Interview
John McCain Interview

Sarah Palin Video
Funny Election Video

fan of Glenn Beck

Enjoying his new show on Fox. He recently moved from being on CNN Headline News.

I have agreed with everything I have heard him say and the guests he had on today's show I agreed with as well. Keep up the great commentary, Glenn. Thanks.

click here for a video clip

Prior to joining FNC, he served as the host of "Glenn Beck," a talk show on CNN’s Headline News which grew more than 200 percent in viewership in both the 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots during its tenure from 2006 to 2008. While at Headline News, Beck secured many interviews including Senator John McCain, Governor Sarah Palin, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Georgia President Mikheil Saakashvili and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

here we go...

Let the lies and hypocrisies begin.
Read and be amazed. Obama hosting pricey party in a dicey economy

Unemployment is up. The stock market is down. Let's party.

Add to that the massive costs of security and transportation — costs absorbed by U.S. taxpayers — and the historic inauguration will produce an equally historic bill.

So after first saying he had to raise taxes, then trying to come up to McCain's level he changes his speech and says he wouldn't be raising taxes. OH! SURPRISE, he will be raising taxes. just out.
Thus the article.
btw, did you know Pres. Bush did not have a big inauguration party 2nd go around? yeah.

In 2005, Reps. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and Jim McDermott, D-Wash., asked Bush to show a little less pomp and be a little more circumspect at his party.

"President Roosevelt held his 1945 inaugural at the White House, making a short speech and serving guests cold chicken salad and plain pound cake," the two lawmakers wrote in a letter. "During World War I, President Wilson did not have any parties at his 1917 inaugural, saying that such festivities would be undignified."

Obama's inauguration committee says it is mindful of the times and is not worried people will see the four days of festivities as excessive.

and I understand opposing sides would argue "Well this is history! He is allowed to have a big bash!" Yeah, ok sure, but $150 MILLION?!?! Again, where's your head.

A messiah he is not

Now I really am not intending to turn this into a Obama-hatin blog. ...no, really.
What I want to do is call attention to a lot of these issues Obama stands for that I feel have gotten swept under the rug.
Is it really just because he's black that he was rushed to the front of the celebrity hoop-la? His socialist and very liberal views surely can't agree with 80% of Americans.
Now keep in mind, I am currently temporarily stuck in the Chicago area, of which they have at least 3 stories about Obama on each newscast. It makes me want to barf. I don't care how Michelle does her hair or who is making decorations for the "obama bus" to Washington DC for the inauguration.
His campaign p.u.s.h. (pardon the pun) was "hope" ... well I'm not feeling very hopeful.
I disagree with many of his views: his lack of urgency to fight the terrorism, his willingness to allow any abortion possible, his lack of experience(!), his ease of flip-flopping. Talking out of both sides of his mouth, just to have the support of anyone. And then there are his known relations that he tried to deny and sweep under the rug as if it's not a big deal to been in close proximity & work with William Ayers, known terrorist. Michelle's college thesis sure said a lot of how 'patriotic' she is [not].

It's a lot of hype, and I don't buy into it. I have a lot of reservations about this one. Lets all just watch and see. He can't even pick someone suitable for the positions a president-elect chooses.

and oh my word, I can't believe this blog is for real. Someone truly thinks he is the messiah. What is our world coming to?!?! All I can say right now is this has already gone WAY too far. (that pic is from the site)
the following is a quote from this obscene webpage, and it's not a joke. (they walk among us) Obama could do the most horrendous thing and she would still devote her life to him. THIS IS CULTIC. (and just plain stupid)

I have thrown myself into a new world—one in which fluffy chatter and frivolous praise are replaced by a get-to-the-point directness and disciple-like devotion. It’s intense and intoxicating. ...

... I have to confess I felt a certain shame that the dress I wore—a bright-red Prada number from next season that my former boss, Carol, insisted I buy the day before—cost more than the $1,000 ticket to the event itself. ... How this paid off I’ll share in a moment. ...
I was on my feet as Senator Obama entered the room. Fate had blessed me in this moment, as I realized that the aisle that was keeping me from my seat was created for him and his secret service escort to make their way to the stage. Within seconds, he was a few feet from me. Cameras were flashing, everyone was cheering, and I knew this was my moment. I pushed my way up to the barricade as he shook hands with as many people as time would allow. I squeezed up front, but Obama was moving quickly and just passed me by. Then, in a moment of divine intervention, he saw me, clad in my red stop-sign of a dress, back-tracked ever so slightly in his procession, grabbed my hand, and gave that brilliant smile of his. I literally said out loud to the woman next to me who witnessed my good fate, "I’ll never wash this hand again."

also on that page, apparently Spike Lee suggests to have Obama's own timeline because he's going to change everything. As in B.C. / A.D. .....PEOPLE!?!?! c'mon!! Jesus is God's only Son. Have you already switched your allegiance?
As I come across more scripture explaining Jesus is THE only Savior, he died on the cross for our sins and no one else has done what he did to take away the sins of the world, I will have to write down the reference so I can give you a link here. The virgin birth was non-mistakable and can not be re-done. Prophesy was fulfilled. And no one can try to repeat that, not even be a runner-up. Not even any loosely suggested, far-strung attempts at making a connection between Obama and savior-like speech.

Remember the Bible? The infallible Word of God?? read it lately?
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Exodus 20:3 & Deuteronomy 5:7 "you shall have no other gods before me"
Matthew 24:23-25
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
1 John 4:1-3

(not the exact verses I was thinking of, but nonetheless, they speak the truth!)

All I'm saying is what I'm seeing all over the tv, on the web... this is way to cult-like and too much messiah emphasis. And all I am trying to do with my posts, is call their attention to the mis-leading hype, not to be carried away with the "thrill of history," and keep Jesus the true center of your life. (one and only center, that is)

power hungry, press loving obama- ur mama

this is a P.S. but instead of post script, it will be a pre-script.
Why did NBC cut out reporting commentary after Bush's final address to the plane crash? It was 7:15pm, and they had already reported about the crash during the earlier newscasts. Don't get me wrong--I am super glad every single person survived; the pilot did an awesome job of saving thousands of lives. It was what could have been quite disastrous, but he really did an incredible job of landing the plane. (picture from reuters.com)

I just want to point out the blatant and obvious (to me) one-sided bias stance the media (major networks) takes in politics and reporting-- from newspapers to magazines like Time (Obama is on it for the 14th time), People, GQ, Vanity Fair, Men's Vouge, Rolling Stone ... Newsweek, Wired, Vibe, it's a celebrity status people are loathing all over him. Why? I do not see any other reason than because of his race. I don't get it. He doesn't have enough experience to even be his own body guard. I personally, would like to see a tribute to Bush on a cover. And would have to add it should be tastefully done. Sad that would need to be said, but I'm not sure they would give him due credit. The man did a great job, he deserves huge props, and a lot of respect. I could go on...

Also, I will point out Obama's old '07 Chrysler 300 (with major bling wheels) is up on ebay for ONE MILLION DOLLARS. US News & World Report link here's a clip:

A Chrysler 300C owned by Obama until 2007 is currently for sale on eBay. The list price? Well, it's a little over the $15,100 Kelley Blue Book says a 2005 300C in good condition should fetch. About $85,000 over.

Obama had sold it for a Ford hybrid. You know, because it's all for show.
here's another link from Star Tribune in Minneapolis
umm... and media was all over Sarah Palin for selling the Governor's plane?
Who's the money hungry one?!

Here's another point to prove biases "Bush Saved 10 Million" story on CNN website. We don't hear about that.

Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says George Bush's AIDS policy has saved millions in Africa. ... And lead the world we did. No president in history had made such a commitment against a single disease.

Playback 8 years ago: let's review what it was like when the Clinton's left the White House. They took all the W's off of the keyboards, pasted things onto the desks, stole a bunch of stuff, cleaned out and trashed Air Force One.
I know the Bush's are classy people and that is a very important quality for the leader of our country to possess. Because they live public relations for that term, and shmoozing doesn't always work for all cultures. But a true genuine spirit and kindness can be identified no matter the language barrier.

Bush will be missed. I felt safe knowing he was our Commander in Chief.

This makes me upset as well: Geithner neglected to pay his taxes from '01 - '07 is NOT an "honest mistake" and Obama wants to elect him for the top tax guy to lead the Treasury Department? Are you kidding me? That's hypocrisy! People would easily say, "If he didn't pay his taxes, why should I?" That's so messed up. Where's the integrity?

What I get irritated and irked by is the double standards. It's exactly what Representative Steve King, Congressman from Iowa stated when he was on Hannity 1.16.09. Democrats flip out and have tantrums over things Repulicans do/say. But then, when they go and do the same thing -- why is it okay then?
I'm not a big "Republican vs. Democrat" (I'm not hung up on titles) what I care about are the issues, be fair, call it like it is, treat people the way you would want to be treated. I just don't get the double standards, and I don't like it much.
Just like Andrea Tantaros said later on the show during the Great American Panel "is that what Obama is bringing us? 'Common mistakes'?" You bet it sends a message to the citizens of the United States. How do you expect to reinforce: No one is above the law.

So those are my opinions. It's my blog, I can.
