"GOODBYE AMERICA"? - Part 2

Good day, my fellow American.  I trust that
you had an opportunity to read yesterday's
blog.  If so, you'll have a "good head" for
understanding this treatise.

This is a rewrite of an article that I composed
and posted on Facebook a few days ago,
and believe that you need to see it, too, to
further enhance your and my concerns for
the pending doom of our country!

IF you are truly an American, and you
appreciate what all America has been and
what all she stands for, you're like me in
WANTING TO STOP THE DIABOLICAL
EFFORTS OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
and his EVIL COHORTS from totally
demolishing our Republic! 

If you don't care - STOP READING NOW!!
God will judge you "delinquent" and eternity
will loom as a more dire prospect than that
which I'm addressing here and now!

THINGS TO "FEAR" IF OBAMA GETS
REELECTED TO ANOTHER 4-YEAR TERM
AS PRESIDENT:

l.  The continued and further efforts to squelch
"free speech", a right given to us by the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, via NDAA
and the so-called "Fairness Doctrine".

2.  Additional Muslim Brotherhood operatives
in Congress, on "His Ignorancy's" staff, and as
appointed judges.  Re. "judge Mahili" of Georgia.

3.  Pandering to Arab/Muslim countries and their
leaders, while ignoring our country's FRIENDS!

4.  More efforts to increase taxes, while sending
money to our enemies, taking "unearned" vacations,
and rewarding campaign donors and their
corporations.

5.  Millions more for Michelle and the girls to
be "globetrotters" at YOUR EXPENSE!

6.  Receiving the Nobel Prize for "Medicine"!
Makes as much sense as the previous award.

7.  Increased border intrusion, violence, thefts,
rapes, and murders, while turning his head
the other way and ignoring, EVEN PROSECUTING
those who are trying to alleviate the problem!

8.  Continued HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT.

9.  Infringement on YOUR personal liberties,
ie. energy allotments, type of car you own,
water usage, food consumption, etc.

10.  Further MEDIA takeover, with the
current LIBERAL PRESS AND BROAD-
CASTERS continuing to facilitate his
propaganda agenda.  Control of the Internet
is included in this evil course.

11.  More GOVERNMENT INTRUSION in
the areas of HEALTHCARE, FINANCIAL
MARKETS, and state and local governments.

12.  Empowering of LIBERAL MOUTHPIECES
AND OPERATIVES, such as Reid, Pelosi,
Schultz, Carville, Bechel, Williams, Colmes, etc.

13.  LOWER STANDARD OF LIVING due
to the ongoing influx of ILLEGALS, sucking
us dry for their food, clothing, housing, education,
transportation, healthcare, LEGAL ASSISTANCE!

14.  Determined efforts to DISARM AMERICAN
CITIZENS so as to prevent OUR being able to
defend our lives and property against criminals,
OR AN EVIL GOVERNMENT!!

Food for thought, hey?  I pray that you've
already given some heed to these issues, and
that you're prepared and planning to
OPPOSE THE REELECTION OF "THE
ANOINTED ONE", better known as
"HIS ARROGANCY", Barry Soetero, aka
Barack Hussein Obama.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!  What you do
now is totally up to you.  If you want the
onslaught on our principles and freedoms
to continue and grow, and succeed, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!!

THAT'S IT - JUST DO NOTHING, AND
DON'T COMPLAIN OR BE SURPRISED
IF YOUR COUNTRY IS TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU!

I'm praying for your prayers and involvement
in the movement to STOP OBAMA before
it's too late.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, and God bless you.

P.S. - A VOTE "FOR" OBAMA......IS A
          VOTE "AGAINST" AMERICA!!




   

GOODBYE, AMERICA!

FOREWARD:  This letter is not to be copied, printed, or distributed unless and until 1 of 2 things occur - my death before November 6, 2012, OR the reelection of Barry Soetero, aka Barach Hussein Obama on that date.

GOODBYE, AMERICA! 

Though having been dubbed a "wordsmith", I feel that
the appropriate words to describe the angst and anxiety
in my inner being on this subject are not sufficient.

I fear the WORST for my beloved country, the country
of MY BIRTH, and the country that has been SO DEAR
to my heart for all of these 71 years.

From Concord and Bunker Hill, Gettysburg and Appomatox,
the fallen SPIRITS and the BLOOD of American Patriots
cries out in protest against what has happened to the nation
for which they lived and DIED, which nation they LOVED
TO THEIR DEATH!

DYING ALONE was not the totality of their sacrifice, for
they left homes and farms, families and lovers, businesses
and educational pursuits, pleasure and duties TO STAND
for FREEDOM AND JUSTICE in this fledgling experiment
called "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"!!

YOU'VE MADE MY HEART FLUTTER AND MY EYES
WELL UP with the playing of your National Anthem, the
reciting of your "Pledge of Allegiance", the bands and
flags flying for your LABOR DAY, INDEPENDENCE
DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, FLAG DAY, AND VETERANS
DAY parades and festivities!!

The studying of your history from the first landing of the
Pilgrims at Plimouth, through the victories over your
ideological enemies during recent years has always
intrigued me and MADE ME SWELL WITH PRIDE!!

Whether putting down the "Whiskey Rebellion", the
Indian uprisings, the attempts by a large section of your
geographical portions to continue slavery, to the defeating
of the "Axis Powers" in WWI and WWII, I've been a
FAN of your determination to perservere and be
victorious for "just causes"!

Trudging overseas to protect the freedom-loving
citizens of a South Korea and a Vietnam, sending our
valiant men and women into "hot spots" to quell evil
uprisings and STOP MURDEROUS DESPOTS like
Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and others, has
MADE ME PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!

I'm grateful, too, for the "respectful dialogue" that our
politicians and government leaders have often shown
for each other and for the issues that needed to be
addressed in the halls of our Congress, State Houses,
and Local Civic Boards.  There are too many places
on this globe where such discourse is not taking place,
nor is allowed or even encouraged.

AMERICA, YOU'RE THE BEST!!

WHAT A WONDER YOU ARE when Irish immigrants
can live next to and in the same neighborhoods with
those of the Slavic countries, Jews live just down the
street from Germans, Chinese can be friends with
those of African descent, and WE CAN ALL BE IN
AGREEMENT that this grand United States is THE
BEST PLACE ON EARTH!!

Sadly, amidst all or our revelry, there are "outside
forces and ideologies" that would change all that we
are and all that we have been, and should continue to be.

WHETHER BY JEALOUSY, A DESIRE FOR POWER,
OWNERSHIP OR CONTROL, or just the Satanically-
driven idea that no one nation should be as "situated" or
"blessed" as ours is, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEEK
TO DIABOLICALLY AND DIAMETRICALLY reverse
our way of life and system of government which has
proven itself for some 235 years plus to BE THE BEST!!

These insidious forces have been putting "their people"
into positions of power and influence, "usurping powers"
that are not theirs to possess, and undermining the GREAT
PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY, THE REPUBLIC, AND
RIGHT, to bring upon us TYRANNY, SUPPRESSION,
AND CONTROL of our every thought and deed!  It is
their intent to "destroy us from within", since their
concentrated efforts to infiltrate us from outside have met
with dismal failure after failure.

Putting down our religions, pooh-poohing our beliefs
of respect for our fellow-man, insulting our efforts to
grow stronger in human rights, assaulting our system
of government, and crying "foul" by not incorporating
their WRONG STYLES of growing and enlarging the
welfare of our rightful citizens HAS BEEN THEIR
'MODUS OPERANDI', which sadly has been a part
of their effort in other lands, particularly European
nations, who are "feeling the pinch" of these INFERIOR
CULTURES, and who are fearful (in the name of
humanity) to OPPOSE THESE FALSE INTRUDERS
AND INTRUSIONS that have entered their societies.

AMERICA, IS IT "TOO LATE" FOR YOU?
  
AMERICA, ARE THERE ENOUGH WHO CARE ABOUT YOU?

AMERICA, ARE TOO MANY "TOO LAZY" OR TOO INCOHERENT?

AMERICA, DO YOU HAVE A "FUTURE"?

AMERICA, "WHAT" WILL YOUR FUTURE BE?

My fellow-American, YOU, and YOU ONLY have the
answers to these questions and to YOUR NATION'S DILEMMA!

My time is short.  My life is pretty well "lived".  There's not a
whole lot that I will be able to do in the days, weeks, months,
and maybe years that I have left.  BUT I REFUSE TO LET
THAT BE AN EXCUSE FOR "GIVING MY COUNTRY AWAY"
TO INSURGENTS, ILLEGALS, AND TYRANNISTS!!

"GOODBYE, AMERICA"?  I hope not.  I pray not.  I write not.
I fight not.  I debate not.  I blog not. 

IF EVIL PREVAILS, IT WILL WELL BE BECAUSE AMERICANS
LET IT HAPPEN!!  Let's not "give up the ship" yet.  Let's not say
"Goodbye!" to our beloved United States of America, YET!!

OUR NATION IS WORTHING SAVING!! 
NO EFFORT ON OUR PART NEEDS TO BE IN VAIN!!
LET'S JOIN OUR FORCES AND RESOURCES AND FIGHT!!

I WANT TO SAY "GOOD MORNING, AMERICA" FOR YEARS
AND CENTURIES TO COME, but we have a huge task on our hands
to keep that glorious prospect alive!

SAY "NO!" TO THE EVILS THAT SOME ARE TRYING TO
SHOVE DOWN OUR THROATS!  SAY "NO!" TO SQUELCHING
OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK FREELY!  SAY "NO!" TO THE ATTEMPTS
TO DISARM OUR POPULACE!  SAY "NO!" TO EFFORTS TO
'QUIET' OUR PRACTICE OF RELIGION!  SAY "NO!" TO THE
ATTEMPTS TO OVERTAX SO THAT OUR FUNDS CAN BE
DISTRIBUTED TO EVIL SUBVERSIVES OVERSEAS!  SAY "NO!"
TO INCREASED DEBT THAT WILL WEAKEN US AND SERIOUSLY
DECREASE OUR CHANCES FOR SURVIVAL!

WE ARE AMERICA, AND LIKE OUR FOUNDERS AND OUR
FOREFATHERS OF THE LAST 2 CENTURIES PLUS, WE WILL
DO ALL IN OUR POWER TO "KEEP AMERICA ALIVE AND STRONG"!!

God bless the United States of America.
    

UNIONS - GOOD OR NOT SO GOOD?

So much of today's news includes and revolves
around the activities, policies, and philosophies
of unions, from the factory to the schoolroom, to
the public workers' garage, and even in many cases
into our shops and stores.

Having been a member of a couple of unions a
while back, when living and working near York,
Pennsylvania, I'm coming at this subject as one
who has "some" knowledge and experience with
unions.  Still, my comments in this blog should
be perceived as being from "a layman", and not
an expert in any sense of the word.

To start, what do you believe was the purpose of
unions when they were first formed?  From my
public school education I learned that workers
felt that they needed some "protection" from
their employers, "safety" on the job, "wage
security", and "seniority" guarantees.

There may be other side issues, but I believe
these are the main items addressed:

Protection:  By this I mean that a boss or
employer could not demand a workload or
type of work that was unreasonable for each
particular union member.

Safety:  Some early workplaces put so much
emphasis on productivity and pumping out
the goods that the welfare of some workers
was put at risk, all for the "almighty dollar".

Wage Security:  It was felt that each man or
woman doing a certain job was entitled to
the same basic rate of pay, with perhaps
performance bonuses for the amount of
product or service delivered over and above
"the norm", or standard expectations.  Time
with the company also earned advances.

Seniority Guarantees:  Whether a person was
"liked" or not, as long as their work record
was meeting acceptable standards, they had a
job.  A worker could not be dismissed just
because of their color, creed, religion, dress,
etc., and could be safe in knowing that had
a means of livelihood as long as they made
the effort expected. 

You may refine or add to my basic premise,
but to me this is what "value" the unions could
offer and still should be offering their members.

SADLY, there have been those over the years
who have "bastardized" the original meaning
and intent of forming unions.

There are some (many in my experience and
estimation) who, without proper leadership
qualifications, have advanced "through the
ranks" of leadership, and their new-found
positions and powers have gone to their egos,
and have been corrupt in their dealings, not
only with the companies, but with the union
members who they've been elected to repre-
sent, and all too often with the coffers of the
treasuries from dues and pension contributions.

I've seen a few of these fellows who thought
they were "big stuff", strutting around on the
factory floors, acting like they were "God's gift
to the workers"!  Upsetting.

Take that minor (humble) beginning of the
position of "Shop Steward" and magnify its
power in the "locals" and the "national office",
and you have a picture of the baser nature of
humanity - corrupt and sinful.

We've all heard the threats and strong words
of some union "presidents" as they try to
throw their "weight" around in both the labor
negotiations and the political scenes.  THIS IS
NOT WHAT THE ORIGINAL UNION
FOUNDERS HAD IN MIND!

I didn't mind being a "brother" or member at
the time that I belonged, as I felt secure with
the "power" of ALL of us in agreements with
"the company" or "the corporation".  My wages
were higher than I could have gotten if I'd just
walked in off the street and been hired, but at
the same time, that "union dues" deduction on
my paychecks caused a bit of angst now and
then.  I would ask myself, "What am I really
getting for my money?".

There may well be a place still for the union,
but as long as sinful, greedy, power-hungry
individuals are allowed to "run the show", we
will question the validity of their existence.

Huge salaries, political appointments, audiences
with high-ranking government people, lavish
parties and suites, costly vacations, etc., have
caused many of us to ask "Do we really want
or need the unions to have such a big and
powerful place in our society today?"

I'm sure there are some good, honest, well-
intentioned men and women who are actively
involved in unions, and many who sit in
positions of leadership, but as in any or all
other areas of life, if there are no checks-and-
balances, no accountability, no honesty,
UNIONS CAN BE BAD, AND SOMETIMES ARE!

A part of the solution, no doubt, would be for
the members of unions to take a more active
part.  Ask questions.  Offer input.  Hold your
local officers accountable.  Be willing to take
a position if it presents itself, in the hopes of
"making a difference" for yourself and your
union "brothers".

Yet, our governments also need to oversee
the administration of unions, with respectable
restrictions put on their activities, bookkeeping,
and political involvement.

Without oversight, some members and/or
supporters of unions TEND TO BECOME THUGS,
pushing their "weight" around, and acting as
if they are entities unto themselves, with no
expected rules and regulations of decency and
decorum.

Do I want unions to "go away"?  It's tempting to
say "yes", especially when we hear and read of
the graft and evil that some have perpetrated,
but "people of good will" stand to benefit from
unions - IF THEY ARE PROPERLY RUN!

P.S. The motivation for this blog came partly
from an internet experience earlier today,
when I read numerous threats of violence,
damage, and personal harm being directed to
someone who had taken issues with some of
his state's union activities.  Sad.  No person
or group of persons have the right to confront
another person or persons with whom they
disagree, by stating their intentions to do
them or their properties harm.  WRONG!!
