Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8)

January 17, 2009 - Economies around the world are crumbling before our eyes. People’s IRA, 401K, and other retirement accounts have lost 30 to 40% of their value of a few months ago. Home values continue to plummet with no end in sight while foreclosure rates are at a record high, leaving many people homeless. Additionally, many companies are falling by the wayside, some were thought to be American institutions and we thought they would always be around and could be counted on. The companies who have not yet closed up shop, are desperately trying to survive these times by laying off their once valued employees. City, county, and state governments are not fairing any better. Cutbacks, layoffs, and an unending array of proposed tax increases continue to take place across the nation. What the world is witnessing are the effects of people and whole nations which have lived their lives on perpetual debit, rather than a healthier pay as you go monetary policy.  How are you fairing? Are you still holding toxic debit? Are you continuing to add to your toxic debt load? If you think you are debit free and in control of the debt in your life, you are likely to be surprised, in fact, you may not be as well off as you think you are. 

January 17, 2009 – We elected a President we hardly knew. Barack Obama’s campaign team—and the mainstream press—told us only that we should feel “hopeful.”

Now we seem to be relying on this man to rebuild the U.S. economy almost from scratch. That’s highly unlikely. My former boss, Gary Seevers, was on Nixon’s Council of Economic Advisors, and before that a top official in Nixon’s wage-and-price-control effort. He told me that “neither the CEA nor government price-fixing ever had a chance to succeed. The economic data was too late and too weak, and the tools too flimsy.” Seevers ultimately put his faith in good incentives. 

January 17, 2009 - What is with all this positioning of Barack Obama as the next Abraham Lincoln?

Obama began his campaign in Springfield, Illinois, famed home of Lincoln. He returns there periodically for other announcements, but he still vacations in Hawaii.

We’re told Obama read a book about how Lincoln put together his cabinet, including “rivals” which one must presume means Hillary Clinton. The rest of his cabinet is mostly Clinton retreads and, predictably, some have already run into confirmation problems.

Now we learn he will take a train ride into Washington, DC to emulate the way Abe arrived.

Maybe a large percentage of Americans are buying it, but we’re not. We’re not buying Obama’s “hope” and “change” for one minute. Just take a look at his “Clinton” redux cabinet, including one of the Clinton’s themselves.  Some change!   “Hope”?  Hardly!

We’re not buying the unconstitutional financial, industry and homeowner bailouts for one second; we’re not buying amnesty, bilingual education, health care and safety net benefits for illegal aliens that break our laws; we’re not buying radical environmental laws that render constitutionally protected property rights non-existent, or lock up millions of acres of land for UN biospheres and wildlife corridors at the expense of all Americans but mostly private landowners; we’re not buying national health care that will seriously deteriorate health care in America and add to our national debt; we’re not buying proposed or ratified treaties that dilute, diminish or extinguish our sovereignty, (like the Law-of-the-Sea Treaty, or the North American Union), and we are certainly not buying the words of the traitors who promote the one-world-order, over American sovereignty.

Sir Winston Churchill called General Robert E. Lee, “one of the noblest Americans who ever lived.”

Monday, January 19, 2010, is the 202nd  birthday of Robert E. Lee, whose memory is still dear in the hearts of many Southerners. Why is this man so honored in the South and respected in the North? Lee was even respected by the soldiers of Union blue who fought against him during the War Between the States.

What is your community doing to commemorate the birthday of this great American?

 January 16, 2009 - Lately I have been feeling, quite literally, sick to my stomach. I wake up with tension headaches and my stomach is so tied up in knots that I feel nauseous. What ails me is not the flu, it is stress brought on by my thoughts about our governments complete abandonment of Constitutional principles, and the subsequent erosion of our once great republic.

Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson made the following statement, “Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.” Can you imagine what Jefferson would say if he were alive today?
