Heroic Officer Saves Three from Fiery Death

Sometimes we are so focused on what is going on in life that we forget to stop and take a look at those who help in ways we often can not comprehend. That is why I am stopping and taking some time to notice Police Officers that do it right and save those in need.

Officer Roger Roseberry of Vinton, IA risked his life on April 23, 2008, when he came upon a 2 story house on fire. Officer Roseberry entered the ground level of the house and found two women trying to leave, the women told the officer that there was another person in the house, but the person was trapped on the second level (where the fire was the worst,) and could not get out.

The officer then went to the front lawn and talked to the man, and tried to encourage and convince the man to jump out of the window. The man refused and said that he could not do it, after many attempts to talk the guy out of the fire, the officer went to one of the neighbors and retrieved a ladder, climbed up to the man and then helped him down to safety.

Officer Roseberry said he was doing what any one would do with evident humility. If there was only enough people with dedication and honor to supply police forces nationwide!

The True Scandal Behind the AIG Bonuses!

Ok, so I am like everyone else, AIG is paying their people hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, AIG took bailout money, should AIG give those bonuses, I say no, but should the Government tax an individual group for doing something it disagrees with? NO, it should stay out of the way, keep its hands off of business, and stick to making sure our borders (and everything in between,) is safe.

This is the problem with what is going on, the current administration is looking for a new boogieman to go after. AIG has a current contract (with the government,)  that they are allowed to pay the bonuses after accepting the HUGE CRAPULUS bill that was supposed to fix our economy.  Senator Chris Dodd, (D-Connecticut,) is the loudest one screaming about the bonuses, yet he is also the one that put the exclusion clause in the bail out contract. SO what is really going on?

The government is successfully distracting people from what is really important.

The United States has just monetized its debt, the estimate is that it will spend 1 trillion dollars to cover Securities and bonds. What does this mean? Well. . . It means that the U.S. Treasury is printing money (with no backing,) to cover our national debt. What is the immediate effect of this? Gold spiked 50 dollars an ounce when this was announced and then it jumped another 60 dollars today, and it is going to increase even more. The dollar is being destroyed by our elected representatives.

This is not the first time in history of the world that this has happened, the USSR did it, the National Socialist Party in Germany did it (NAZI PARTY,) and the most recent country to do this was Zimbabwe. Take some time and look at what is going on in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, and how it is effecting his people.  This type of action is a last ditch effort to stop the hemorrhaging of a country’s finances. The government has been spent into submission, Clinton, the Bushes, Obama, and congress is to blame. But not only them, we are to blame, we elected them in to office, and then we turned off our minds and turned on American Idol. We were told we can trust them, so we did, and that is what we get when we trust our government.

So what can we do now that we are standing on the edge of a cliff with a leash and collar on? We need to communicate. We need to tell people what is going on, not using fear, but using facts, we need to call our representatives and tell them to stop and start cutting the spending and taxes to encourage local spending. We need to tell the local news agencies to start reporting the news (all of it,) and to stop editorializing it with all the personal opinion.

Finally we need to vote in the next elections and remove the corrupt from congress, Democrat and Republican. Both sides are abusing their powers of representation, they have lost touch with the American by having their own heath care, security details, groupies, and benefits such as free gas for their cars in the basement of the Congressional Parking Facility. Rome fell because of the corruption with its senators, America is no different. When the government knows “better” than its own people, the people will suffer.

IF you feel the need to buy gold, then buy carefully, as during the great depression, FDR took all the gold that it could from the private citizenry. Should you go out and spend an enormous amount of money to buy food to store just in case? No, avoid debt, but buy a little extra every time you go to the store. Don’t get T.V. dinners, get something that will last, i.e. rice, beans, canned fruit and vegetables, or anything you can keep in a cupboard for years. Frito’s and Twinkies are not a good idea. Have a garden, seeds are available at local grocery stores, stop spending on credit cards, start pay off debt, if you are debt free, start saving money, start conserving and using less. By doing some simple steps you can make the next decade a little easier for yourself and family.

Child Rape – The Supreme Court

Today the supreme court ruled that it is unconstitutional the execute anyone for child rape. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion that execution in the case of child rape would violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, citing “evolving standards of decency” in the United States.

Evolving Standards of Decency

I think that this is probably one of the most disturbing case results from the Supreme Court that I have heard in a long time. Justice Kennedy stated that since there had not been an execution in over 30 years, that the United Stated was evolving to a better standard of decency. I find that interesting that a judge who has seen a lot of cases thinks that the criminal element is evolving and that standards of decency apply to them. Then he stated that this is directly related to the 8th ammendment and that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to the child rapist to be executed. This stikes me in the face as ironic that the decency is given to those who prey upon our most valuable asset, and then distroy them in the worst possible way. Yet the victims of this crime have no recourse. The rapist will be in a prison that gives them 3 meals a day, an allowance, cable T.V., gym and outside privelleges, and a conjucal visit. The children get reconstructive surgeries, a life time of angst wondering what they had done to caused this, emotional damage, a mis-trust of personal contact, the worry of this aturocity happening again, and the understanding that these rapist can get out of jail at the whim of a judge.

The Supreme Courts then stated that “a willing act of murder,” is the justifiable reason that a person can receive the death penalty. With that line of logic a rapist can claim that they did not intend to kill the child and that it was an accident that happened while the child was being raped, and the rapist can get avoid the death penality. It even sounds like the Supreme Court is advocating an eye for an eye. Kill a person and get the death penality, but it is not the case, given time this ruling can be used for a refutal of all death penality cases in its entirety.

The court is ruling in an activist form. They have no concearn to the constitution or the belief that it is that document that has kept this nation great. It looks like the court has decided that they know better than the states and voters, and they have decided to restrict the state’s rights in the course of justice.

This is not the place to preach my religious beliefs, and I try to keep it to a minimuim since most of you know my beliefs already, and so I will keep this governmental in its entirety. The Supreme Court was erected so that it could help balance the power between the executive branch and the legislative branch. Up until the great depression the states had more power than the federal government, and the people had the most power of all. Then Roosevelt was elected and for three terms (look it up,) he was president. During that time the power shifted away from the citizen and into the pocket of the federal government. Roosevelt was a “progressive,” by his own deffinition as well as today’s. He used fear and threats to get the power from the private to the public. At one point in time Roosevelt even sent deligates to Mussolini’s government to figure out how he could change the United States to a Socialist government. Roosevelt even studied Hitler’s regime, and this is what he came up with: If a state can encourage a feeling of depenency upon it’s people then it can control them. Such things that help such a “progressive” movement is – youth worship, welfare, and distruction of religion.

Youth Worship

Youth worship is when a society begins to remove the importance of the information gained from the older part of society and starts to encourage the ignorance of youth. Such sayings as “Who are you to judge me?” and “This doesn’t hurt anyone else!” are a great example of such things. Another and more prevelant example is the distruction of the nuclear family. This can be seen in all forms of popular art, TV shows glamorize that there is no need for a father in the family, and asserts that the male figure has no need for the family. The mother is then shown as a party going woman who has control over her family life. If you don’t believe me take a look some night. The Simpsons has a father that is an alcoholic that can’t take care of his family as they live in the lower clase of society. (I chose the Simpsons since it is the number one series in Television history.) If you look at ER, Grey’s, Scrubs, Law and Order, NYPD Blue, or many of the others it shows the same thing, that the male subject is the one to cause the damage to family and that in many cases the children would be better off without him.

Welfare

I remember one of my grandfathers talking about a flood that happened in Kansas during the early 1900′s. He said that people were ripping their doors off of the hinges so that they could float out of the town and to safety. He then goes on to talk about how Katrina caused so much damage. Undebatably New Orleans is a progressive (democrat) ran city. The unemployment rate is stagering, and crime rules the cities with a violent bloodly fist. Welfare can be obtained easily with no thought of giving back to the society from which it takes. During Katrina people waited on their houses for someone to come rescue them. The never even thought that they could take care of it without someone else doing all the work. I know that this is a generalization, and not everyone was that way, but many were. Instead of taking whatever they could and floating to high ground, they instead demanded that the government take care of them. Even after the flood the people demanded that someone else rebuild their city and to give them a place to stay until it was done.

Welfare without recompense distroys the pride of a hard working man. No longer does a person feel the need to get out of a bad situation and make a better life for himself. There is no need to take care of a family when Uncle Sam does. When you give the power to the government to take care of your family that is exactly what they will do. Recently in the news there have been schools that have decided to give birth control pills to girls starting at the age of 11 and without having to notify the parent. They have decided that it is okay to give 11 year old children hormone treatment drugs, and it is because they think that they know better than the parents.

Hitler had a saying that I am going to paraphrase, he said that an adult can try all he can to keep the Nazi movement from taking control, all Hilter needed was the young to carry out his plans. Hitler knew that if you could trap the young you could control the future. He developed the Hitler youth, and other “programs” that indoctrinated the children. The progressive movement is doing the same thing. In this campaign season we have heard both progressive parties talk about youth organization that they would begin when/if they are elected. One of them wanted to start the GreenEarth Youth party. The other talked about the village raising the child (not the parents).

Distruction of Religion

“Whatever we once were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers,” Obama said during a June 2007 speech available on YouTube. We are a nation that is based upon Christian beliefs, we were never a nation of Christians, yet if you ask the progressive platform and they would say that it is naive, foolish, or hateful to be a Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Hindu or whatever. The need to destroy the belief that there is something bigger than man, and that we must answer to it is the final stage of the progressive push to socialism. My wife spent sometime in an Eastern Bloc country. She was told by the people that when the children were in school the teachers would teach against religion. They would seperate the children that believed in God and those that didn’t. One of the tactics that they would use to further distroy the beliefs of the young is to have the children pray. They would have the children put their heads down on the desk and have the religious children pray to their god, and the communist children pray to stalin for candy. The teacher would then go around and place candy upon the desk of the communist children only. When the children were done the teacher would say something along the lines of “Why doesn’t your God give you candy? Stalin does.”

By distroying the religion you have distroyed the accountability of society. I have heard that “religion is the opiate of the masses,” from many people, and it is a catchy phrase, yet it is 180 degrees off. Free religion is the liberating force of the universe. If you can chose which moraise and dogmas that you choice to live, you can choose the direction of live you shall have. A person can not choose to not pay the consiquence, that is what justice is all about. When justice is denighed then the it is the righteous that suffers.

8 Things that Annoy her! Are you kidding?

Ok, so now I have reached a new low!

I was cruising the net while waiting for my SEC system to warm up. What I happened to stumble across was an article about what makes women mad. Now I know a lot of this from the start, don’t cheat, clean up your stuff, and never ever say a different name while in bed with your wife. But this article is the COSMO “how to get a man to cheat on,” of the internet. I am not surprised to see that on MSN, I mean they really don’t have anything else to report objectively, so they might as well give a job to some mediocre english major in college.

Accourding to Lisa Jones of Men’s Health (the author of the MSN rant,) her number one annoyance with her boyfriend/unsuspecting victim is “not picking up after himself.” Now I stated that to begin with, women want men to pick up their crap and put it in the dirty close or whatever, but Lisa seems to have found a winner. She states that she does not mind that her victim leaves a shirt here or a shoe there, what bothers her is that he leaves a pile of chewed up sunflower seeds on the counter.

If this is as bad as she claims maybe she should find a man who was not raised in a barn. OR . . . She has over played something and is trying to make things sound worse than it really is. Most likely she was nagging her victim one night while at dinner (probably in front of his friends in hopes to embarrass him,) and he said, “Hey Lisa, it was just one shoe in the living room, it wasn’t like I dropped chewed up sunflower seeds on the counter and left them there.” Lisa then most likely thought, “Damn he is right, when I write about this I am going to make him sound like a pig, that will teach him.” Unfortunately for her, it doesn’t, it just makes her sound like she has horrible taste in men, and has no problem bedding those who have hygiene problems.

Annoyance #2

On this one she complains that men nag her about how much money she spends on a purse or shoes. She goes on to say that the man should complement the purchase and then say, “I guess dinner is on me tonight!” Hell no, that is like giving candy to a toddler because she just colored on the wall. “Hey baby I am going to pay for dinner because you can’t control your urges and you have just spent your spare change on a purse!” Hell NO! The reason the guy says something is because he is realizing that she is a crazy spend-aholic and he is hinting at her to get help at a local 12 step program.

Don’t get me wrong, if she saved up and was waiting to make this purchase, then she is good to go, and any victim is lucky to have her as a girlfriend, but I don’t think this is the case. I have a close friend that has the same problem. She spends and buys because it is such a great deal or it is on sale. Her husband is a good guy and is close to being a financial wizard. I feel bad for him, he saves and saves to keep the family out of debt, and my friend spends because she knows that he is saving. For awhile he drove a 15 year old Julopi because it was free, while she drove a nice new SUV.  I know that she came from humble beginings and could not buy the things she wanted when she was younger, but out of control is out of control.

Annoyance #3

Lisa now complains that her victim is talking to her as if she is one of the guys. This says a couple of things. First her victim really likes her and wants her to know that she means something to him, and second he is comfortable discussing daily events with her. She is so lost that she doesn’t know that the victim is trying to impress her.

One of the things that I got a lot while dating is that I did not share with my girlfriend. They had problems that I didn’t discuss my life with them, or that I didn’t talk very much and that they would feel out of place. Yet here is a guy who is committing himself to her, and she is getting mad that he is not talking about her.

In my family we have a saying: “Women hint. Men say what they mean.” So here is this guy saying, “Hey Lisa-honey-poo, I can bench 300 pounds.” Which is to say, “Hey Lisa I am strong, be impressed.” What Lisa hears is, “Lisa -BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH,” and is wondering when he is going to shut up so she can tell him what she ate today. Here is a hint, when your man is talking, listen, he is telling you how much he likes you.

ANNOYANCE #4

Men speak of the future vaguely.

I can’t help it, this one is just too easy. Of course this man is going to talk about the future vaguely! Lisa is a self centered, shop-aholic, nut job. This man is not sure he wants to shackle himself to woman who won’t stay with in her financial plan, or listen to what he is saying.

The reason that this man is talking about the future without including you in his plans is because he does not want you there. He is afraid that if he uses the all enclusive “we,” when he talks about the future, you will never leave. He will be fourty, living in the Suburbs, with a wife and an few children, and Lisa will show up at his door, (with a new exepensive hand bag,) asking him why he hasn’t called in the last ten years.
