Debt limits, negotiation, blah, blah, blah,blah. Why are we still negotiation? Why are we making deals? Ever see the commercial where the firemen run the congress and ask "Do you want clean water?' Everyone says yes. That is the kind of leadership we need. Enough of the deal making, make a the hard decisions to correct the errors of the last hundred years.

Houston Veterans Claim Censorship of Prayers, Including Ban on 'God' and 'Jesus'
I am back at it. Yes once again I am back blogging. I read an article in the Knights of Columbus magazine July Issue (not online yet) "Columbia" titled "Where Freedom is Threatened" by Leonard Leo. In this article he reports about countries and societies that are anti-religion or hostile to one or more religious minorities. Now today I read this "Huston Veterans Claim Censorship of Prayers, Including Ban on 'God' and 'Jesus'", what happened to the right to freedom of religion or for that matter freedom of speech? Are the words 'God' and 'Jesus' protected under free speech let alone the freedom of religion? How secular we have become when mentioning 'God' or 'Jesus' is not a normal part of a funeral?
It is my opinion that the main downfall of America is secularism and the underlining misunderstanding of our Constitutional Amendments especiall the First Amendment. The following is the exact quote of the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Does anyone see in there the phrase "Separation of Church and State?" Of course not because it is found no ware in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution or the Amendments to the Constitution. Go ahead read them if you don't trust me.
The phrase "Separation of Church and State" is an off shoot of the phrase "wall of separation between church and state,", as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. What he was referring to is the Federal Government not to have the ability to setup a national church. There is nothing about Prayer in school's, reading the Bible or saying a prayer in a Government Building, or anything pointing to the removal of any or all religious icons, holiday's or the mentioning of God. People who believe we were founded by men and women who were not religious in nature do not know their history.
Our country was founded on the principals that our rights come from our Creator. That the individual can make a difference and most importantly the Federal Government should stay out of our lives. It makes me frustrates to see so many people rely on the Government for everything. Giving up rights for security, giving up religious freedoms to accommodate or placate people who have no belief. Not allowing discourse instead embracing political correctness. We must all change. We need to get back to relying on ourselves, family, friends and neighbors. Like the people of Tuscaloosa, hit by that terrible tornado, they helped each other and people from all over came to help. No one called for FEMA. We can do it like them and all make a difference.

Reporters Calling Others Names
Ed Schultz calls Laura Ingraham a slut. See this Drudge Report. I can't understand why reporters on the left of center use name calling and other forms of deformation to make a point. Isn't there a course they can take to learn to use intelligent reporting rather than mud slinging. I used to think the news was about facts, however lately the level of slander has increased on the left. Not sure what to say? What do you think?

Anchor Babies
Many illegal aliens have children in the United States so that they can reap the benefits that the Constitution allows. This is a problem for me because people have broken the law to attain a right. It is wrong for them to be here, so why should we grant American Citizenship to their child? The child innocent in this matter. The parents are the law breakers. I believe that this law will stop this problem.
It is not the United States that is the one's at fault, it is the countries outside our boarders that are the problems. They need to fix their system and not force their citizens to become criminal in our country. We also need to establish a simpler way for people who want to come to out country and become citizens. Our nation is a melting pot dependent on immigrants. My grandfathers parents on my dad's side of the family immigrated from Japan, and on my mothers side some of her ancestors arrived via the Mayflower. The rest of my lineage are Native Americans, Hawaiian and Cherokee, who were here before America existed. They had no choice in the matter of becoming a citizen or not.
I am often asked why I speak out against illegal aliens? My answer is we are a county of laws and if they don't respect our laws why should we respect them. When an American breaks a law they pay a fine or go to jail, however if you are an illegal alien and have a child in America, the parents have already broken a law and are not punished. What message are we sending to the child, or anyone else for that matter. Does the laws of the land apply to them or not? They do and we should enforce them.

[U.S. House and Senate] Oppose Extending the Patriot Act
It has been long enough. The Patriot Act needs to end. Handing over some of our rights seemed like a good idea to keep us safe, however in the nearly 10 years since its inception, Osama Bin Ladin is still at large and we are still at war. The ABC agencies will have to get warrants again before spying on all Americans. Oppose Extending the Patriot Act by clicking the link below and sending a message to your Senator and Representative.

Don't Mess With Big Sis
Freedom of speech makes this pilots cockpit less secure. The TSA is going to take a beating on this one. Not because of its employees, it is because of stupid policies put in place by the bureaucrats in Washington. I have tried to make it clear that I have no problem with any TSA Agent, I have problems with the policies and procedures produced by the pencil pushers in Washington. Here is another example of a hole in the system that when exposed is handled with German SS like action.
I am seriously opposed to the way we are handling our air travel. It has been nine years since the last attack on US soil. What was wrong with the system we had in place before 9/11? The terrorist got into our country illegally, trained by an American Flight School, and boarded planes with fake ID's. All areas we should concentrate on, instead of violating the rights of our citizens.
Tighten our boarders. Get our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Let the CIA and UAV's take care of the bad guys there and allow our armed forces to stop illegals from crossing our boarders. Next and most important, anyone here without the right to be here is deported to their country of origin. If they want to come into our country they must go through immigration. We also need to make immigration easier. Our country needs new Americans not illegal aliens.
Flight schools, colleges, and all public and private schools must provide valid documentation for non-Americans studying here. If they can not the school is fined and the student immediately deported.
Each State needs to create their own identification cards such as a state id or drivers license that is unique and secure. Foreigners may not be issued state id's, they should have to carry a valid drivers license form their country, passport and visa while traveling in our country. Once there visa expires and they haven't left the country, they are to be arrested and deported immediately and never issued another visa to visit our country. They are also to be added to a database of people not allowed to immigrate to our country.
The next change I would make for Airports is to make the airlines own their terminals and provide their own security. Privatization could lead to safer travel and new innovations in aviation. We still use technology that was invented during WWII. Planes are a little more safe, a little more quite, and get a little better gas mileage, however that's it. Airlines under the thumb of the FAA struggle to stay afloat. Government should be there to protect and foster business not kill it.
Big Sis and the rest of the bureaucracy in Washington focus on the people who jeopardize our lives. Remove the law breakers and stop new ones from getting in. Protect and uphold the Constitution not trample on it. Give us back our inalienable rights that come from our creator and not from the government.

Congress is Irrelevant
President Obama plans to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since the climate baloney bill could not be passed by congress, even though it could have with its majority, it did not because climate change is false. This entire scare is based on false data, lying scientist, and greedy men and women who feed off of public fear. This kind of activity has gone too far. This is not a monarchy or democracy, it is a republic. The people rule, not a few nut jobs on Capital Hill. America we need to stop this kind of action before we become irrelevant.
