Since watching Obama from his 2008 Democratic nomination until now, there are some WARNINGS we Conservatives should be VERY AWARE of and keep in mind. First and foremost, we must ALL keep in mind the many threats to our freedoms and liberties since Obama came into office. We have seen and heard the BLATANT lies and "politically correct" violations of our Constitutional rights.
As we all know, the November 2010 elections are approaching. AND, as we all know, we have been FIGHTING this administration since their RADICAL AGENDA for our Country began. WE HAVE BEEN IGNORED! We cannot FORGET that fact - EVER! Even today, we see the far-left continuing to propose MORE spending and MORE government control.
BEWARE - POLITICAL maneuvers ARE COMING! As an example, we all know that the Gulf Oil Spill has been basically stopped. Unfortunately, the resulting DAMAGES still exist because we do not know the total impact to our Gulf Coast. We NOW hear that the administration is possibly CONSIDERING lifting the MORATORIUM on drilling in the GULF. This maneuver will certainly make Gulf Coast citizens rejoice - as it should - IF it, in fact HAPPENS.
BEWARE - The closer we get to November, the MORE TRICKS we will see from this administration. We MIGHT see the Bush Tax Cuts extended to the lower income earners. DO NOT TRUST this action!!
DO NOT EVER TRUST anything this administration does that "appears" to be positive for the People! They will ONLY be trying to GARNER VOTES FOR Democrats, that WE KNOW are FAR-LEFT leaning. AND, if they "happen" to win, we are GUARANTEED that they will PROCEED RIGHT BACK to their FAR-LEFT Agenda!
A very good "Rule of Thumb" we should always REMEMBER -
"FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU."
"FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!"
REMEMBER - THE CZARS, forced OBAMACARE, the ECONOMY, the JOBLESS RATE, the APOLOGIZING for our great Country, the CORRUPTION, the LIES and DECEIT, the ARROGANCE, the BLATANT DISRESPECT of WE THE PEOPLE, etc., etc.,etc.!!! IF WE ALLOW THEM - THEY WILL CONTINUE!!!
Hang in there Conservatives, this fight has been LONG and HARD - no doubt about it. We cannot STOP NOW. We have a long road to travel BEFORE We get our Country WHERE I NEEDS TO BE.
VOTE THEM OUT!!

545 People vs. 300,000,000 People!!
I received this in an email. Every citizen of the United States needs to read this very carefully. Permission to re-publish is given as you can see below:
545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker,
who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses….
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

To Kill An American - An Understanding
Below is a post I copied from a website I am a member of. They asked that it be shared. It is a VERY IMPORTANT read.
To Kill An American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is. So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish , Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian , or could be Jewish, Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses..
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.. "The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness..
An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
"When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America.
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11 , 2001 earning a better life for their families. It’s been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists..
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo , and Stalin , and Mao Tse-Tung, and other bloodthirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.
Please keep this going!
Pass this around the World .
Then pass it around again.
It says it all, for all of us.
Please do not just delete.
Pass it on first. Thanks!

ISRAEL MUST BE PROTECTED BY AMERICA!
WE NEED TO PROTECT ISRAEL!!
As a Christian you know the story of Abraham, then you know the importance and gravity of the fact that America needs to protect Israel!!
If you are not really familiar with the story of Abraham, here is an overall and very general synopsis. The story is found in Genesis. God knew that Abraham was faithful to Him. However, before God carried out His plan for Abraham, He needed to determine that Abraham was truly and completely faithful to Him. God started giving Abraham instructions on where he should go from the land he lived in that was very corrupt. God wanted to lead Abraham to the land of Canaan - which is Israel today.
Abraham followed by his faith and trust in God, except for one time. God told Abraham to avoid Egypt, however, Abraham ended up going there anyway. In short, as a test of Abraham's faith, God sent him to a country that was disparaged by severe famine. Abraham decided on his own to go to Egypt when he witnessed the famine. God was not pleased. Because Abraham sinned against God, God brought great plagues to Egypt. Pharaoh, the leader of Egypt, blamed Abraham for the plagues and forced Abraham to leave Egypt. Abraham came back to his faith and trust in God and began heading to the land that God had spoken of.
From the Bible, this is what God told Abraham about events that would happen if Abraham trusted God:
Genesis 12:1-3 - (1) Now the Lord had said to Abram (before he changed his name to Abraham):
"Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. (2) I will make you a great nation; And you shall be a blessing. (3) I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
We all know that God loved Israel and the Jews. After all, Jesus was a Jew. The above Verse (3) tells the whole story!! God will bless us if we bless Israel, and curse us if we curse Israel.
Need I say more?
This is a great poem that should ring true to all Christians. Maybe along the way, it will win some over to Christianity. Children can say it all.
Ain't
He was just a little boy,
On a week's first day.
Wandering home from Bible school,
And dawdling on the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass;
He even found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod,
And blew out all the 'filler.'
A bird's nest in a tree overhead,
So wisely placed up so high.
Was just another wonder,
That caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig zag course,
And hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day
And what was going on.
'I've been to Bible School ,'
He said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying,
'I've learned a lot about God.'
'M'm very fine way,' the neighbor said,
'for a boy to spend his time.'
'If you'll tell me where God is,
I'll give you a brand new dime.'
Quick as a flash the answer came!
Nor were his accents faint.
'I'll give you a dollar, Mister,
If you can tell me where God ain't.'
