Oregon, No Longer God's Country

In the 1970's I lived in Astoria, Oregon. The sky was so blue it could hurt your eyes to look at it and the air was clean. No wonder the state was referred to as "God's County" by locals. That can't be said any longer.

One of the largest abortion clinics in Oregon has opened in Portland. "...this new one is right on the edge of the African-American community..." stated the director of Oregon Right to Life, Gayle Atteberry. Now why would that be important? Why would the ideal location of the largest abortion clinic in the state be next to the African-American community? Are they expecting more Black women to murder their unborn babies than other racial groups? If having an abortion is the new best birth control device and if it is so chic, then why not build it right down town so all the tourist visiting the city may see it?

Since 1997, Oregon has allowed assisted suicide through the "Death with Dignity Act".

Both of these actions are between the person and God. Only Jesus can forgive sin. The government has no business being involved in this business..the business of abortion and suicide.

Whether you agree with either or not, the consequences of the choice made by the individual will not be born by you or me, or rather should not be born by us, but we know that isn't the case.

A botched abortion resulting in a handicapped child will result in assistance in some form or fashion, usually coming from the state or federal coffers. Someone wishing to die who can't, and must remain on life support, may tap dollars from the same coffers, even if the money comes through a different fund or agency.

In the end, the dollars come from the federal level, appropriated money, borrowed from the Federal Reserve with the Promise to Pay, on the backs of the tax payers.

"...$300 million-plus that federal taxpayers deliver annually to its major player, Planned Parenthood." -- Bob Unruh Report: Taxes prop up 'dying' abortion industry

I am not for government funded abortion or assisted suicide. If someone wants to pay out of their pocket, and they can find a doctor willing to do it, then the blood is on their hands. It is none of my business. It is between them and God.

So now, if you are planning a vacation and want to see the sights in the Pacific Northwest, and you just happen to be inconveniently pregnant, visit Portland, in the use to be God's Country state of Oregon.

Why We Need These Women

In 2008 Americans supposedly rushed out to vote for an all but unknown Democrat presidential candidate as a backlash against the policies of the Bush Administration. The people were angry and they acted without due diligence.

This sweeping of Democrats into office has now been revealed as a huge mistake. A monumental mistake of such proportions that the reaping is more than most Americans can bear, more than America can bear.

Rumors abound that Sarah Palin will seek the Republican nomination for President in 2012. The polls are showing a middle range for her. Not the best but not the worst either.

It is well known among the people that Palin is not willing to play in the same clubhouse as the Big Boys. She cleaned up her party's house in her own state so there is no reason to think she would not attempt to do the same in Washington DC.

"...she went on to sack political appointees with close ties to industry lobbyists and shelved pork projects." and "...she sold the private jet [former AK Gov.] Mr. Murkowski used to get around Alaska, relying instead on commercial airlines.. "-- Profile of Alaska's Sarah Palin: Governor, Reformer, Mother by Jim Carlton

This is just one of the many reasons why America needs her to win, if she runs.

Some of her accomplishments during her 1st term as Mayor of Wasilla, AK:

1. Cut property taxes by 75% and eliminated personal property and business inventory taxes
   
2. Made improvements to the roads and sewers
   
3. Increased funding to the Police Department
   
4. Reduced her own $68,000 salary by 10%
   

What other governor of any state made these kinds of decisions?

And speaking of governors, Texas is seeing a surge of support for black horse gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina. Some of her support is the backlash to the bushwhacking Medina received at the hands of Glenn Beck and his just as arrogant sidekick, Pat Gray. Bad move on the part of Glenn Beck who is seeing a drop in his Texas supporters according to the comments made by people on social networking sites like Facebook and on the radio talk shows.

Not a career politician, Medina is instead a common sense business owner and professional nurse. We need that with this socialist style Health Care Reform being ramrodded down Americans throats.

Medina, supported by many self-identified Tea Party members, believes in limited government and individual freedoms. She believes in and intends to give not only the Texas Constitution but the U.S. Constitution more than just the lip service her fellow candidates have given. She is a breath of fresh air for Texas. While Perry & Hutchinson ignore her, assured she is little more than a Nat flying around an elephant's butt, people are flocking to her as she gives them hope they can get Texas back on track.

Sarah Palin and Debra Medina have never forgotten this very important principle, the government and it's representatives, serve at the pleasure of the People. That all political power rest with the People. Texas incorporated it from the Republic of Texas Constitution into the State Constitution:

Texas Constitution
Article 1. Bill of Rights
Section 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.

TSA Abuses 4yr Old

The "Federal" Transportation Security Administration hires people with no brains, no ability to think outside the black & white box. They can't assess a situation and figure out how to handle it. What part of "he can't walk without the leg braces ON" do they not get? Stupid, stupid service workers. They should be working at McDonalds!

They could have taken the child to a private room, had him completely searched, have an explosives dog sniff him ..anything except what they did. This burns my butt! This is tantamount to abuse in my book!

Did you hear about the Camden cop whose disabled son wasn't allowed to pass through airport security unless he took off his leg braces?

Unfortunately, it's no joke. This happened to Bob Thomas, a 53-year-old officer in Camden's emergency crime suppression team, who was flying to Orlando in March with his wife, Leona, and their son, Ryan.

Ryan was taking his first flight, to Walt Disney World, for his fourth birthday.

The boy is developmentally delayed, one of the effects of being born 16 weeks prematurely. His ankles are malformed and his legs have low muscle tone. In March he was just starting to walk.

Mid-morning on March 19, his parents wheeled his stroller to the TSA security point, a couple of hours before their Southwest Airlines flight was to depart.

The boy's father broke down the stroller and put it on the conveyor belt as Leona Thomas walked Ryan through the metal detector.

The alarm went off.

The screener told them to take off the boy's braces.

The Thomases were dumbfounded. "I told them he can't walk without them on his own," Bob Thomas said.

"He said, 'He'll need to take them off.' "

Ryan's mother offered to walk him through the detector after they removed the braces, which are custom-made of metal and hardened plastic.

No, the screener replied. The boy had to walk on his own. -- Another case of TSA overkill, by Daniel Rubin

Now, as if this wasn't enough, the boy's father spoke to the Supervisor who demonstrated he should also be working at McDonalds and THEN a PA cop showed up:

A Philadelphia police officer approached and asked what the problem was. Thomas said he identified himself and said he was a Camden officer. The Philadelphia officer suggested he calm down and enjoy his vacation.

Did you get the message there? "SHUT-UP, OBEY, COMPLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS, or something worse could happen here".

You may think this is nothing. You may think it is for our own good. You are wrong! We are witnessing the behaviour modification in process. We are seeing that we poor pitiful citizens have no rights on this country or expectation to be treated with respect or even like adults. We are nothing except "human resources" to work, feed the federal monster with taxes so the govt can continue to grow and oppress us. And we are allowing it to happen! We are helping it to happen by accepting "our fate"!

Don't believe me? Watch this 1 hr video. History IS repeating itself. We have seen this all before.

"The End of America" by Naomie Wolf

Perry Bad for Palin

When I heard some of the speech Governor Palin gave at the Tea Party Convention in Tenn, I wanted to jump up and cheer as well. She clearly has a grasp of the situation America faces and she appears to be the only presidential candidate who does, besides Ron Paul.

If she decides to run against Obama in 2012, she can win with a landslide IF she has a equally strong and respected running mate. There is a rumor that Rick Perry, currently trying to hang on to his Texas Governor's seat, is seen as a possible running mate.

During his previous campaign, Perry made many promises, as do all candidates running for office, but it was less than two weeks after he hoodwinked Texans into electing him that the promises began failing apart. Many people started to wonder if they should have recorded the promises to play back for him. It was like he suddenly had political amnesia.

Promises to secure the border and build a 700 mile fence that he had criticized Washington, DC for failing to fund, suddenly didn't seem like a viable solution any longer.

A candidate who wants LESS government like Sarah Palin has nothing in common with someone who likes more government when it suits their purposes (read: $$$$) such as Rick Perry. Texans have not forgotten his Nazi-style attempt at forcing young girls to have the STD Vaccine, regardless of what their parents wanted and regardless of what the voters wanted. Due to MERCK, the pharmaceutical company, getting lambasted as a result of Perry's obstinate refusal to back off the mandate, they asked him to stop.

AUSTIN, Texas - Bypassing the Legislature altogether, Republican Gov. Rick Perry issued an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

By employing an executive order, Perry sidestepped opposition in the Legislature from conservatives and parents’ rights groups who fear such a requirement would condone premarital sex and interfere with the way Texans raise their children.

Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade — meaning, generally, girls ages 11 and 12 — will have to receive Gardasil, Merck & Co.’s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV. -- Texas governor orders STD vaccine for all girls, MSNBC Feb 3, 2007

Is this what Sarah Palin wants in a running mate? Is this the type of heavy-handed, elitist-minded VP Americans want? Someone who thinks they know better than the parents?

I have no idea who she'll pick if she decides to run but if she picks Perry, he will definitely hurt her chances with Texans.

Are We to Become the Next Political Whores?

When Mary Landrieu's vote was bought and paid for, freedom-loving and principled people near Louisiana were angry but not surprised. Louisiana's political history is full of corrupted politicians, more so than just about any other state, except for perhaps Illinois.

When Ben Nelson's vote was bought and paid for, people were so angry, even his fellow Nebraskans, booed him out of a pizza parlor (that's Texan for a pizza restaurant).

Then came the State of the Union Address. What a joke. He is always campaigning, always selling his propaganda, always thinking his got it right again. Always wrong. Obama can't seem to grasp the idea that he won the election because people didn't know him and they believed him, but now, they DO know him and they DON'T believe him any longer.

Nile Gardiner wrote in his Jan. 28th article, "State of the Union: Barack Obama gets and F for world leadership":

"Barack Obama...focused heavily on the economy and the domestic political agenda. This was hardly surprising in the aftermath of last week’s catastrophic defeat for his party in the Massachusetts special Senate election... American voters are turning strongly against the president’s health care reform package as well as his big government vision for the economy, which has contributed to spiraling public debt and mounting unemployment, now standing at over 10 percent. ....President Obama displayed what can only be described as a stunning indifference towards the defence of the homeland. .. I cannot think of a US president in modern times who has attached less importance to human rights issues. ...He has sacrificed the projection of American power upon the altar of political vanity, with empty speeches and groveling apologies across the world, from Strasbourg to Cairo..."

To Mr. Gardiner and others who are slowly awakening to the reality of just who and what America voted into office, I say, there is more to come.

And his State of the Union speech has revealed as much.

He spoke of pumping money in the education program, the student loan program, the lending programs and cutting spending at the same time. As an old western movie line goes, "Paleface speaks with a forked tongue." Well, part of it is right.

So, who are the next people to be bought off? Who will be the next political whore we can point to as being more interested in the payoff than in the principle of maintaining a free America and stopping Obama's dead run into a Socialistic transformation?

It will be the American people themselves. They can't see that Obama is attempting to blind them with the money. He has taken over the auto industry, the banking industry, his policies have caused the loss of jobs faster than any single event in American history and is attempting to take over the Health Care industry. He knows the American people are all that stand in his way of accomplishing the total and complete "fundamental transformation of America". So now he is trying to buy them as well and given the number of people who have lost their jobs and NEED help, they may have no choice.

We are to become the next political whores, accepting the money in exchange for the principle, because the principle won't feed our families or pay the mortgage.
