American Values

Over recent years with the growth in popularity of the liberal progressive and the self proclaimed hipster we have seen a steep decline in the number of young people who partake in faith based activities or attend a Church, Synagogue, or other Judeo-Christian type of religious institution.  This is a scary trend, and if it continues could result in troubling times for this country.

To truly understand this countries Judeo-Christian roots we must go back to the time this country was founded, and why it was founded.  One of the reasons many of the first colonists decided to make the arduous journey across the Atlantic to come here was for religious freedom.  Throughout Europe Christians were persecuted for their beliefs and they came here in search of religious freedoms they did not get in their home land.

As a result they came here with the mindset they could practice their religion free from persecution.  This was the mindset that inspired the founders to draft the documents that went on to shape the very framework of the country we live in today, a country that has stood for over 200 years.

Fast forward to the present day and the state of affairs in this country is becoming quite similar in comparison to what our ancestors left when they fled Europe roughly 250 years ago.  As the government under the current president, Barack Obama, and one of the most liberal slates of judges the supreme court has ever seen, continues to chip away at the founding document of this country the Constitution, we Christian conservatives are under attack  Our very values are being mocked and ridiculed as the government makes its way into places it shouldn't be in the first place.

Take the case regarding Hobby Lobby, the government through the "Obamacare" is attempting to force a company founded by individuals with strong Christian values to go against what they believe and offer contraception to their employees.  Many in this country feel that contraception is a so called "right".  This is where many liberal progressives get it wrong.  We as citizens aren't entitled to anything from the government other than the freedoms to pursue our own happiness.  When the government steps in and begins instructing specific entities to provide for others at the cost of ones labor or well being it infringes on anothers right to life, liberty and happiness.

As a result we must become keenly aware of the practices of the ever growing, tyrannical government that we are beginning to see develop.  As the government grows and influences various classes and groups of people they create dissidence between the masses and pit one group against another.  As the dissidence grows so does the fighting amongst the masses giving the government even more power to influence its citizens. To combat this we must teach the future citizens of this country what it means to be an American, and what this country was founded upon to instill in them the will to keep our faith and our values alive for many years to come.

The Low Income Housing Problem

The federal government wants to move the poor out if cities into low income housing in the suburbs which in turn causes taxes to go up.

The low income individuals don't pay these taxes as they don't fall into the particular tax bracket while at the same time they have children they cannot afford thanks to an unlimited supply of government aide.

This phenomenon also increases the taxes of those who work as the children attend the publicly funded school system while the parents of those children don't contribute a damn thing!!

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP APOLOGIZING!!

It's time the media stop apologizing for every single off color comment a news anchor, reporter, or talk show anchor makes.  The media is so obsessed with pleasing everyone and offending no one they no longer stand for anything.  They can no longer stand on any one specific point or take a rock solid stance on a topic simply  because they may "offend" someone.

The list has become nearly endless with regards to apologies issued from various new anchors and news outlets.  We have recently seen apologies from the likes of Martin Bashir, Melissa Harris Perry, and networks like CNN and MSNBC.  Apologies haven't just been issued from news outlets, celebrities are also guilty of pathetic apologies.  Regardless of who you are, it's time individuals learn to stand behind what they say and stop bowing down to the pressure from those who don't agree with you. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.

The latest guest on the apology tour is someone we all know and have come to lover for his colorful weather forecasts, Al Roker.  As everyone knows we in the NY metro area have recently been hit hard by a snow storm.  There was much ado about the communist mayor of New York City, Bill DeBlasio, keeping the schools open throughout the city.  As a result Al Roker went on a tirade on Twitter culminating in this tweet

"I knew this AM @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCSchools would close schools. Talk about a bad prediction, Long range DiBlasio forecast: 1 term."

Not only was this tweet funny, it is a prediction that conservatives everywhere hopes comes true. Nonetheless, shortly after this tweet was sent, Al Roker issued a FREAKING APOLOGY!!  It's time those in media grow a pair and stop apologizing.  Stand behind your remarks and back up what you say.  We have become so sissified in this country that the second one person becomes offended we bow down and kiss their damn feet.

This idea of pleasing everyone is running rampant in this country today and the underlying reason is POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.  We are teaching our children at a very young age that the most important thing is not to offend anyone else.  Kids are taught that they are no longer allowed to have an opinion simply because it may offend someone else.  This obsession with pleasing everyone to try to offend no one has to stop.

The Disgusting Extravagance of the Obama's

While we Americans get up early and work 8 or more hours a day our president is out on the campaign trail, or fundraising for some of his cronies, or hosting dignitaries (and I use that word sparingly) from other countries as he did last night. While presidents have been doing this practically forever, none have done it on a scale of disgusting extravagance as the Obama's have.

Last night president Obama hosted the French president at a state dinner on the south lawn of the White House.  You may think this was just a casual dinner, au contrairie my friend. This lavish spectacle featured a tent constructed on the lawn complete with trolley service to whisk guests across the lawn to the site of the dinner. The dishes were served on only the finest china, complete with napkins and personalized place cards. Along with the lavishness of the event Mrs. Obama has the nerve to show up wearing a $12,000 dress... YES A $12,000 DRESS!!!

The fact that she was wearing such a dress and they were putting on such a lavish event wouldn't be quite so bad if they weren't constantly lecturing us on how we must give our "fair share" and the idea that the biggest issue this nation faces is income inequality.  If they truly cared about you and me, they would practice what they preach and lead by example. These two have to be the biggest hypocrites to ever walk the hallowed halls the White House.
