Taking Sides

    The Holder Department of Justice is a travesty.  At a meeting with black pastors yesterday, he told them that there is a concerted effort being made to suppress the right to vote in America.  Does he really think that there are conservatives in America who do not want any certain sector of people to have the right to vote?  Yes, there is an effort to pass voter ID laws, but those are meant to eliminate voter fraud, not suppress the right to vote.  If there is anyone working to suppress the vote in America, it may well be Eric Holder himself.  He is the one who chose not to pursue charges against Black Panthers who were intimidating voters in Philadelphia. 
    Holder's record on obstructing state laws from being enforced in states like Arizona just give more evidence of the travesty that the Justice Department is.  It is an embarrassment to this country and its justice system.  This is not justice.  It is taking sides.  This is just one of so many reasons to elect a new President this November.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

• America has never before had a major Presidential candidate who was running against the free market and capitalism.
• It has taken a long time for me to get bold enough to say this.  Many politicians mislead, distort facts, put their spin on stories, and tiptoe their way around questions.  This President does that and more.  He lies.
• The mainstream media is being completely irresponsible by NOT covering the story of the Catholic churches who are suing the Federal government over the HHS mandate.
• It completely baffles me why anyone who is Jewish would even consider voting for President Obama.
• Tea Party candidates continue to make inroads.  The Tea Party is NOT dead.
• Don't believe the mainstream media.  Don't pay attention to polls.
• Planned Parenthood has been shown assisting a woman who wanted an abortion because she wanted a boy, not a girl.  And it's the GOP that has a War on Women?????

Temporarily Non-Grumpy

With us hosting two grandchildren here all week, I haven't been very grumpy lately. I guess you could say that I haven't been very curmudgeonly. Maybe next week I'll feel like venting again.

I Guess It Was a War FOR Women

a New CBS/NYT poll indicates that women prefer Romney to Obama 46% to 44%. That poll is certainly not done by a right wing organization. Quite the opposite. Looks like portraying the GOP as conducting a War on Women is an absolute flop.

Real Unintended Consequences

In an effort to distract voters fr on the President's record of failure, The Obama Campaign has delved into the area of social issues. I guess they figure that the GOP will come out looking bad on these issues. They have now tried free contraceptives and gay marriage as decoys to get the attention away from the President's dismal failure with the economy. I am thinking that this may turn out to have a different result than they anticipated. It appears to me that a large segment of the American people have been energized in their opposition to the President because of his stances on these moral and religious issues. What is next? I suspect the progressives will manage to use well manipulated polls to project an image that most Americans agree with the President. And of course the mainstream media will continue their efforts to paint conservatives as intolerant monsters. Don't believe any of it. It will be a smoke screen.

Eroding, Not Evolving

   Much is being made these days of President Obama's "evolving" ideas about gay marriage.  I have been contemplating a similar concept for some time now about what is happening in America, only I would not refer to the process as evolution.  I refer to the change that is happening as erosion.
   Over the years since the founding of our country, changes have been made to the very framework of our government.  The US Constitution provided the foundation upon which our country was to be built.  That foundation, made up of very basic principles, has been chipped away slowly, but intentionally.  The changes to our country have been made in very small increments.  For the most part, Americans did not even notice the changes as they occurred.  That is the way erosion works.  It is a very slow process.  It is also a very destructive process. 
   I think what is finally happening these days is that more and more people are noticing the damage which has been done to our country.  We see that our foundation is crumbling.  Yet, we have another group of people in our country who would rather that our foundation crumble so that they could build an entirely different country.  To them, this change is what they want.  They refer to it as evolution, as if the change they want is a beneficial change.
   Not me.  I see it as erosion.  I love our country the way the founders designed it.  Our principles are eroding.  What is needed is some principle repair.  Also, we have to always be vigilant.  We must be alert for all the efforts to make those small, seeming meaningless, changes that progressives want to make which will corrupt our principles.  One of the processes used to bring about this erosion is compromise.  It seems every compromise brings another tiny chink in our foundation.  It is never a time to compromise our founding principles.  We cannot let go of our freedom and liberty.

Good Results

Several good things took place at the polls yesterday. In Indiana, A Tea Party candidate won in a primary battle with a 36 year veteran of Congress who has a record of RINO tendencies. It was not even close. In Wisconsin, GOP voters far outnumbered the Dem voters. This is amazing because the Democratic primary was destined to be a much closer race, and Gov. Walker was facing practically no competition. Those two results indicate Tea Party victories. In another vote that was not one that aligns with Tea Party principles, voters in North Carolina chose to prevent future efforts to change the definition of marriage and passed an amendment which defines marriage as that between one man and one woman. This was more a victory for voters who would like our country to remain one which is aligned with God's plans. I think America is not as liberal as the media would like to paint it in their coverage.
