How To Increase Job Loss

With debate beginning on the card check bill, Walmart and other economically sound businesses are beginning to wonder if they are about to be the next businesses to begin an all out reversal in economic progress. As many as 600,000 jobs could be immediately lost.

What do I mean? With the federal government sticking their nose in the business of mobsters - I mean the labor unions - the government is essentially forcing businesses to allow union control. What does this do?

Well if a few people want to unionize, then they have every right but the card check forces everyone to vote openly. That means people can be forced to either give up their jobs because they do not want a union or forced by the mob (sorry, I mean union bosses) to conform to the wants of others by joining the union.

If they do not vote for a union, then they will be on "open" record - or namely, they will become targets.

What does this costs business? It means business can no longer higher people at the rates they designed for business success. The unions will force businesses to pay people more than they are worth for business purposes. That means the employer has to lay off lots of people so that a few can benefit. But wait -unions will control firing also so they will instead force the business to raise prices. Those who went to that business for cheaper products will have to pay out more just to save a few jobs.

We are not guaranteed jobs under our Constitution, but with the corrupt priorities of this new Congress, we are looking at the continual usurping of the Constitution. How? Our federal government has taken away the rights of the states, and until people get mad about this subversive action, we will continue to see our economy and government erode.

So let the card check pass, and we will continue to roll right into socialism. And if they get this much soon voices like my own will also be silenced - because you can't have negative press about socialism, can you? Beware the ides of March.

I would love it if the states would stand up - but unfortunately too many of the governors have their hands deep into the pockets of this new "stimulus". They are afraid to rock the boat.

Good job, Congress - keep sticking it to us! And Mr. President, you are just as guilty if you let it continue!

How To Bust The Government in 9000 Different Ways

This goes out to those illustrious spend-sters in Washington - Republicans and Democrats alike.

Thanks but NO THANKS!

The Omnibus Bill passes with 9000 earmarks with just a hands up or a hands down vote - very little debate. President Obama who ran a campaign on cleaning up earmarks, now has a chance to make or break a promise - - but hold on a minute!

A new excuse emerges. This is last year's business? What? This is last year's business, so it doesn't count. What kind of school children are running our government and playing these childish games with our hard earned money? President Obama seems set to let this bill pass and challenge earmarks on the next spending bill.

Hold it one cotton pickin' minute!

This is March 11, 2009 - not 2008! This is a new Congress with a new president. This money WILL BE SPENT THIS YEAR! How is it "last year's business"? Are people that stupid that they would sit back and let this happen?

Mr Obama, I sincerely ask you to reconsider your stand and don't break your campaign promise. Assert some authority.

To add insult to injury, Representative Pelosi (you know the gallivanting Speaker who uses the Air Force as her own personal airlines) wants to pour salt into the open wounds of millions of Americans. She thinks a second cut-throat spending package is needed to "help aid the economy". I guess the "stimulus" doesn't pose enough of a threat to the free market for her likings.

Mrs. Pelosi and Mr Reid are punch-drunk on power. Of course the people "spoke" with their votes. Too bad they didn't listen first.

Penalties Better Than New Equipment

The inane absurdity that continues to pour out of Washington continues with the coming changes to health care proposed in the trillion dollar stimulus plan. Doctors are going to have to conform to the new digital filing system or face penalties. That means they have to decide whether to implement this plan into their practice or keep an employee (I'll explain in a moment).

I like my doctor a lot. When he enters the room, his notes are so precise that he reminds me of past discussions as he briefly reviews my history. He then sets to diagnosing my current symptoms, if that's why I am there, and when done with me, quickly goes to dictate his new notes. He has a great system that works for him. And if I need referrals - he quickly gets my history to the next doctor. It works!

The stimulus plan, however, wants to add a new step. My doctor along with thousands of others are going to have to spend on average $124,000 for new digital equipment and for maintenance of that equipment. That's the equivalent of two employee salaries.

According to Newsmax, doctors are weighing the difference in payments of the penalties or the overhaul of new equipment and the hundreds of hours required to update the new equipment versus paying the penalty. Some actually believe it will be more cost effective and easier to pay the $5100 a year penalty rather than fish out the new money for the equipment.

And our over-sized federal government wants "better" health care for everyone. too bad they had to get involved.

Kudos to Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J.

I am going to highlight certain political leaders from time to time for speaking their minds and holding to their personal ethics and standing up for true moral conduct.

Today's hero is Representative Chris Smith from New Jersey. Mr. Smith came out this week and called our new President the "abortion President". I cannot agree more.

Never in our countries history have we seen such blatant moral disregard for life and the disregard for our nation's constitution than our newly elected President with his insatiable lust to allow people to destroy life without considering the repercussions. The sad part is that our Congress is becoming so morally corrupt that it turns a blind eye.

Mr Obama has called for the repealing of Mr. Bush's order to allow health care professionals (people who should have a right to decide how they will treat patients based on moral grounds) to opt out of abortion or other procedures that they may consider morally wrong. President Obama, on the other hand, thinks it is right to force people to go against their moral beliefs.

Now Mr. Obama is also calling for the use of embryonic stem cell research when there are two viable research options that could use funding and be implemented quickly. Instead, he would rather see the unborn suffer. The grounds that those who need these treatment suffer without the embryos are false! There are options we are using right now that will not reduce our nation's moral collateral.

The problem with abortions is not only the death of the innocent. How can we call for improvements in human rights when we do not afford those rights to the unborn?

So, thank you Rep. Smith for standing up for the moral grounds our nation used to hold true!

The Clock Ticks Doom and Gloom, A Short Story

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.Proverbs 14:34 (NIV)

Doom and gloom, doom and gloom, ticked the clock tower.

The friends noticed the pilot light was out again. The last match having been used days ago. The cold seeped into their home and chilled their bones. The ash in the fire place were piling too high. Someone should clean it, yet no one agreed on how to to do it. The ash was so high that new logs could not be placed in the fire pit for burning. The pilot light on the gas stove had been their last source of good heat.

Some wanted to put the ash in a bucket and find a use for the spent coals - maybe they could sell them for more matches to light the pilot light.

Some wanted to let the coals pile up because just maybe the sight of the pile would remind them of the warmth they once had and how bad that warmth was because others had never had fire to heat their homes.

Others still wanted to clean up the dead coals and toss them out. They wanted to clean the fireplace and set a new standard that allowed room for new logs to burn. The other scoffed at it. They had grown so accustomed to the ash and soot that to change it would mean someone might take advantage and actually get warm.

The ones who wanted to put the ash in an old bucket did just that. They collected the ash and saved it for a new day. Unfortunately, the new day did not dawn, and they were left with the useless ash and with new ash piling up.

The ones who wanted to keep the ash in place were pleasantly surprised by the new build up of ash and soot. They declared that an end to the heat would come this very day if others did not hand over their matches to help light the pilot light. Unfortunately, the amount of matches had so drastically been reduced that those who tired to pay the match debt found themselves without room near the fire and increasingly became colder.

The ones who wanted to clean up the mess and create a new fresh way for all to enjoy the fire were told to sit in the back of the room. Their ideas were just too radical and would mean too much change. Besides, someone would actually have to go to work and clean the fireplace, and those in charge would have power taken from the control they maintained on the fireplace. No way.

So those who wanted to clean the fireplace and bring fresh fire just sat and watched the folly.

Of course if you want to see change in life, sometimes you have to take drastic steps to change. Sometimes you have to watch others continue to ruin things before they admit they need help.

So, don't give up on the FairTax - the Democrats are making an incredible mess. Of course, they called it change - but what's different? The same Clinton staff have return to the White House. The same Democrats are spending like crazy and calling 9000 earmarks "necessary spending". Oh yeah, there are some guilty Republicans also!

Too bad liberals hate the free markets so much. With the FairTax, we may actually start a fire that warms us all, but then who could they manipulate if government could not pull the strings on unjust taxation.

As for the verse from Proverbs, don't forget to check out the 50 Day Challenge. This is a grassroots effort to get our nation back in tune with God's leading. Leave a comment....

Only Fools Cry Wolf

President Obama has announced the wonderful tax reduction for us who earn under $200,000 a year but failed to let us know about the proposed tax hike one fuel and energy costs that will not only takes back the reduction but also add more to our tax burden. I am so excited (sarcasm).

In my Bible study this morning, I read:

A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.Prov 10:23 (NIV)

Now before anyone says, I am calling the President evil or a fool - no I am not!

I am, however, going to enlighten you a little about how to define fool - especially for those who may be in government. According to the dictionary, fool is defined as "a person who lacks judgment or sense" and this interesting one "one who has been tricked or made to appear ridiculous; a dupe".

I also investigated the identity of a fool in a topical search using a Bible search tool (I am getting to the point, I promise). A fool denies God, makes a mockery of sin, hates knowledge, doesn't delight in knowledge, walks in darkness, trusts in themselves, depends on their wealth, and should be avoided.

So who is the fool: those who elected an overwhelming majority into the Congress and White House or those who are in those positions?

I think it is foolish to allow our government to act without holding them accountable. Foolishness resides in the thought that government spending is the only hope for humanity.

I think foolishness can be attributed to anyone who blindly follows the masses in government. For example, any political official who toes the party line when they disagree with it - fool. I like Senator Joe Lieberman, not because I agree with everything he believes in, but because he is not afraid to call out a wrong when it is wrong.

A fool is someone who blindly accepts global warming as fact when science is disproving much of what is taught by that crowd (and no - the UN "experts" were not scientists - most were politicians). Is the world warming - possibly but that doesn't automatically mean we did it.

A fool is someone who thinks it is better kill embryos for science while ignoring the existence of two other alternatives that have proven themselves to be very viable research solutions - adult stem cell research and now the newest, iPS cell research.

A fool calls for everyone to be the same regardless of their religious or moral beliefs as in the return to forcing medical professionals to perform medical acts that they disagree with - i.e. abortions.

A fool is someone who talks one way in public and another in private. They also twist words just because they want a true meaning of the word "is". Giving tax relief only to take it back in another form of taxation is foolish.

A fool is one who is hopeless and forces their ethics on everyone else because they believe they are more upright. Only God is righteous - get over it.

A fool cries out for religion (especially Christianity) to be stripped from schools and society.

A fool refuses to allow parents to decide where to send their kids to school and refuse to allow school vouchers. A good example of foolishness is floating around the state of Georgia's legislature.

A fool believes that big government is the answer to all social ills. Though government plays an important part in our society, it is not God.

Where are the wise? Our government sure could use an infusion of wisdom.

I could go on but I think you get the point. Know of any other foolish actions? Leave a comment.
