America Will Not Survive Without God

Our Founding Fathers believed that God was important to both the founding and survival of our nation. Some modern day historians have tried to bury and ignore this very important part of our heritage. They want us to believe that the Founding Fathers were mainly Deists or Agnostics. Yet most of them were devout Christians and even those who weren't believed that God was critical to the survival of our nation. The proof of this is through their writings and speeches, our history is laced with their references to God.

Today, there is an ongoing distortion of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting the establishment of religion and impeding the free exercise of religion. Yet we have several groups today in our country that have twisted this toward actual violation of the Amendment by specifically preventing the free exercise of religion. The underlying motive is to take God out of every aspect of American life. It is a real and ongoing battle.

What we are doing is allowing a very small minority of people, if not a single individual, to remove the word God from every aspect of American life, or any reference to God in the military or in our government. This is a grave and fatal error never, ever intended by our Founders and a twisted interpretation of the First Amendment. Worse, our own government is disallowing any reference to God and in some cases going so far as to de fund any group that does so. Today, throughout our nation many Christian churches are praying for religious freedom, praying that our own government will not force Christians to violate our Christian faith, beliefs and teachings. The villain here is our own government! Our own government overriding the First Amendment in attempting to force religious institutions to violate their faith.

Look at history. From the beginning of time no empire or nation has survived with the absence of God. Many have been brutal dictatorships that caused great oppression and suffering to their people, as well as to other nations. Our Founders knew this. If we want to solve our nations problems, and even survive as a country, it is absolutely essential that we recognize that God is foundational to our country.


 

Manufacturing - Essential to a Positive US Economy

Since the 1800's the core strength of the United States has been manufacturing. We are blessed with an excellent labor force; an abundance of raw materials; domestic energy sources that can be tapped into; readily available transportation through rail, roads and waterways; and a huge market right here in America.

A nation that resigns itself to becoming just a consumer nation will tend toward a weaker economy and is pushed into a state of dependency. Yet a nation that manufactures will tend toward a much stronger economy and be in control of their own destiny. When you give up manufacturing you give up much, much more. The need for research, development, and technology become much less over time. Manufacturing know-how and manufacturing process technology will slip away since there is no need. This state of dependency becomes a threat to national security...economically, as well as for vital parts and items to run our country, and for national defense. A dependent nation becomes weak, vulnerable, and economically devastated. This is what has happened to the United States over the last several years.

In 2012, US News & World Report, reported that we had given up 5.1 million manufacturing jobs since 2001. Also in 2012, America's Economic Report - Daily reported that the loss of manufacturing jobs over 20 years was at an alarming level of 6.4 million jobs. Yet it is much worse than that since we also lose "magnet jobs". Those include other local businesses in the area of the manufacturing plants. These include restaurants, business suppliers, trades such as electricians, etc., legal services, insurance...and the list goes on and on...all those that support the manufacturing business. The net total loss of jobs by giving up manufacturing could be as high as 8 to 9 million jobs over the last 20 years. This has a devastating effect on our economy.

No single step could improve our economy more than bringing back manufacturing to America.

But don't look to Washington to solve our loss of manufacturing problem in the U.S. Don't look to corporate leadership to solve the problem, they are driven by greed and in many cases over simplistic false economics. And don't look to the business schools in America...they are the ones who preached for many years that ..."We are becoming a service economy". In fact they beat the drum so much on this topic that people began to believe it. A great disservice to America. (Look around you. Everything you see is manufactured!)

The result of all this is that we have given up our core strength as a country, specifically, manufacturing. So how do we solve this problem? Well, this is one area where the people, the consumers, still have tremendous power. We are need to get strongly organized behind ONLY buying goods that are manufactured in America. We need to insist upon it. This one, strong, simple step will turn the economy of America around into a very positive direction. Not Washington; not greedy, misguided corporations; not the business schools; but the people of America! Don't be fooled by "assembled in America" only. We should buy goods that are MADE and ASSEMBLED in America, by our own workers.

You have great power to do something very positive for your country. Starting today, this very moment, you are urged to look at labels...and even if you have to do some research and investigation on where to find it...ONLY buy goods that are MADE IN AMERICA. Insist upon it. By doing so YOU will be a major force toward turning the economy of the United States around. I guarantee it. YOU can make a major difference.

 

The Collapse of America Will Be Our Fault

Everything seems upside down. Led by the media, many of the American people feel relieved by President Obama signing a bill that will "open the government". The stock market showed a significant increase. The administration and Congress will go back to their ways of enormous spending. They will satisfy themselves and the American people by making token, minor cuts in spending and claim it as very positive step. Many so called "economists" will tell you this is a good thing. We can all go back to our lives as usual, no worries.

Yet this bill signing to open the government, in particular, may be a turning point that will lead to the final leg of the economic collapse of America. In 3 years our national debt will be over $20 trillion, still running out of control. Our economy will not be able to sustain itself and things will then become irreversible. The economic collapse will place the American people into a dire state, widespread poverty and hunger, with a great deal of suffering. Our freedoms will be taken away so as to preserve order. Our once great democracy will be on the verge of collapse, following the economy. The legacy left to our children, our grandchildren, and future generations will be a miserable one. And it will be OUR fault. We sat back and allowed all this to happen. We didn't use our intelligence and common sense to do anything about this. Yet it was all there right in front of us.

What we should have done is stopped our federal government and members of Congress dead in their tracks. We should have allowed a complete shut down and suffered to consequences now, as bad as it could have been, and take the punishment now in lesser form. We should have demanded an approved federal budget under our close scrutiny. We should have demanded a stop to the out of control spending and a short term committed plan toward achieving a balanced budget. We should have demanded fiscal responsibility by our government and members of Congress. We should have given a non partisan threat to all members of Congress that we would vote them out of office if they did not comply.

Only then could America have survived. Now it may be too late. We have effectively given them, with the help of the media, a license to destroy America. There is nothing to celebrate about today. There should only be sadness.

 

Voter Fraud Destroying America

Voter fraud in America is wide spread and a threat to our democracy. It is much more prevalent than admitted. In the 2008 Senator Norm Coleman was running for re-election against Al Franken. On the morning after the election, after 2.9 million people had voted, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes. Then suddenly the Al Franken people went to work and lo and behold Al Franken won the election! Later it was discovered that 1,099 felons, all ineligible to vote, were allowed to vote in this election...and there is more. There is a strong consensus that Franken was put into office through voter fraud. You can also blame the Republicans for letting them get away with this.

People in Nevada were not happy with Senator Harry Reid and they indicated that there was NO WAY that he was going to get re-elected. Yet amazingly he did! Did you know that the SEIU union is in charge of servicing voting machines? There were complaints of people voting for Reid’s opponent only to find out the vote came out for Reid! There were other charges of bribes, write in ballot fraud and more. Reid was “re-elected”.

In small town New England residents who know everybody in town witnessed busloads of “voters” that they didn’t recognize, being driven up to polling stations to vote, only to go to the next station to vote again. Across the country there is very widespread fraudulent voter registration with fake names, dead people’s names…you name it. Just get a name, any name, in order to vote. At the same time the write in ballot vote has increased tremendously. What this does is maximize the opportunity to cheat. There are reports that people not in this country legally, and certainly not American citizens, are voting by the thousands. Yet only American citizens can vote in a federal election.

In the last presidential election Barack Obama received 100% of the vote in Philadelphia. What that means that not one single person voted for Mitt Romney, not one! The probability of that happening was zero. This was most certainly a red flag indicating voter fraud, yet it was ignored. Why? In the last couple of elections, in particular, there were “errors” in mailing out paperwork for overseas service people voting….our US soldiers! This appeared to be an overt attempt to delay and block voting from our service men and women. The reason? They tend to vote conservative.

Today, there is a whole system set up for voter fraud in our country in order to influence and steal elections. No wonder they fight voter ID tooth and nail claiming that it disenfranchises the elderly, handicapped and the poor. This is pure bunk since all of us, including all the people mentioned, are required to present IDs for MANY other things with no problem. We all know that this is a false issue. They are protecting the ability to commit voter fraud, that is the REAL issue.

Our right to vote in the country is sacred. Voter fraud is a blasphemy that goes right to the very core of our democracy. Our democracy is being threatened by widespread and growing voter fraud. All should be deeply concerned.

 

On Violent Crime in Springfield, MA

 

If you want to look at why Springfield has one of the highest violent crime rates in America, you can start by looking at the DA's office. One thing, for sure, they do not send a strong message to criminals by prosecuting to the "full extent of the law". Just the opposite. Criminals in Springfield know they can get off easy. Criminal defense lawyers know this, as well, and play it to the fullest in defense of their client, however guilty they may be or how heinous the crime. The approach by the DA's office seems to be to not make waves as they use their prosecutorial position as a stepping stone, as they polish their resume toward their next appointed or elected job. They seem to be oblivious to the fact that if they did their job in helping to clean up crime in Springfield, people would stand up and cheer and their future career opportunities would be nothing short of excellent.

 

The DA's office makes a mockery out of the Massachusetts General (Criminal) Law prescribed sentencing, and takes the easy road of plea bargaining as much as possible. It is easier. For them and the criminals, that is...NOT the victims. If you look up the prescribed sentencing for crimes and what the actual plea bargain sentencing is, it is nothing short of shocking. How they get away with this is beyond belief.

There are plenty of specific examples of this as proof. The most recent (and there are MANY more) example is the jewelry store robbery in Chicopee approximately one year ago. It was a case of violent armed robbery, $100,000 in jewelry was stolen, and the store owner was severely assaulted / beaten. You will note in the Springfield Republican article (Jewelry store robbery puts brothers in prison, October 11, 2013) that the words "accepted a guilty plea" were used, avoiding the words plea bargain, but that is what it was. It also appears that some of the charges were dropped (that enables even leaner sentencing). What about assault and battery on the store owner with a dangerous weapon? That charge alone calls for 10 years in state prison according to Massachusetts General (Criminal) Law, Chapter 265, Section 15A (b). So the PLEA BARGAIN sentence put together by the DA's office was 3 to 4 years. Oh yes, we will knock off a year for time served. And, Oh yes, again, we will allow the criminals to keep the $100,000 in jewelry that they have stashed WITHOUT paying the store owner restitution, or returning the jewelry.

The victims, the store owner and his daughter, are in a state of shock, as they well should be. You can add all the extra police that you want in Springfield and that will not reduce violent crime. Until the City of Springfield puts a stake in the ground and does both...arrests and prosecutes violent criminals to the full extent of the law, violent crime will continue at a very high rate.

What we need in Springfield is a hard charging DA who is not only committed to reduce violent crime, but one who by his leadership and actions demonstrates that it will no longer be accepted. No more easy plea bargains and easy sentencing for violent crime. Only then will we see a reduction.

 

 

 

Obamacare - Devastating to Seniors and Illegal

During your entire work life you are subject to payroll deductions that go toward Medicare. Yet when retired and on Medicare you might find it extremely difficult to find a doctor that will take new Medicare patients. Why? According to the Congressional Budget Office nearly 3/4 of a trillion dollars will be taken out of Medicare in order to fund Obamacare. This is fact, not rumor or political conjecture. What this means is that the doctor reimbursement rate for Medicare patients will be substantially lower. Already, all across the country, many doctors are refusing new Medicare patients, since they have to run a business as well as provide medical care. The result for many seniors...you paid into Medicare all those years and now you may not be able to find a doctor to treat you! This is a direct consequence of Obamacare.

Obamacare was based upon premises as espoused by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a chief advisor to Obama on healthcare. He is on record saying that healthcare should be rationed in favor to those "most productive in society". This was a direct implication toward rationing of care for seniors, since they are not "most productive" at that point in their lives. Obama, himself, made comments (ABC News) about not having expensive surgery in favor of a painkiller, and having an "independent group" (not doctor / patient / family) decide what is necessary. He was referring to the review panels that are set up under Obamacare.

Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar wrote in a New York Times op-ed that healthcare rationing is both moral (he says) and good public policy. David Berwick, Obama's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services called for treatment to be denied according to "quality adjusted life years". This is all much more than conjecture, it is specific proof that by design Obamacare calls for the federal government to decide who gets what treatment, and certain groups of people such as seniors will be denied if they are not considered "productive". All this is an irrefutable proof behind the design of Obamacare. Of course the Affordable Care Act does not come right out and say "rationing" but what it says is that it can reduce how much the government pays health care providers for services, reduce payments to hospitals with very high rates of re-admissions or recommend innovations that cut "wasteful spending". This amounts to de facto rationing that negatively affects seniors. The result is the same.

Not only is Obamacare designed to negatively affect seniors. It is illegal. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 is a national law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance, which will certainly be the case with the Affordable Care Act. In addition to being a violation of The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Obamacare is also a violation of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution that provides protection against discrimination by federal and state governments. The 5th Amendment prohibits the federal government from depriving individuals of "life, liberty, or property" and for equal protection under the law. By depriving senior citizens the necessary care for life saving medical treatment and, for not providing equal protection, this becomes a clear violation of this Amendment, as well.

There are a multitude of major problems with Obamacare, but none greater than the devastating impact upon seniors. What kind of country have we become?
