I just finished watching "Sunday Morning" where they threw in their usual, disguised, free promotion for Liberal Socialism. It seems Charles Osgood just has to squeeze it in there every Sunday morning no matter what.
Today it concerned poverty. It was moderated by an unknown minority to me but a a very well trained speaker. Probably coached by Barack Obama, a champion at such a thing. He was appealing to us to support people in poverty. Never once did he mention anyone trying to help themselves.
You see, under Socialism, the government will help them by re-distribution of wealth. That way, no one will have to work, kind of like what's happening in Greece right now.
Aren't they a great European Union example of Marxism? Everybody's retired, that is when they're not rioting, burning cars and breaking windows in the businesses that are attempting to create an honest buck.
They've already re-distributed the wealth until there's no wealth left! There's no wealthy left to help them anymore. DARN!!!
I was born into a family of 11 children, me being the youngest of eight boys and the tenth in the whole brood.
My mother raised the family totally by herself since my father was only home long enough to create another child and leave again to parts unknown. As a result, through the depression of the thirties, we experienced poverty firsthand. But through all of this we never lived in dirt or squalor as they like to show on T.V. We had one bathroom for all of us and a ringer wash machine that my mother spent an awful lot of time at. Our home was never messy and always clean. with the convenience of a 75 ft. outdoor clothesline, our mother made do with what she had to work with. God bless her forever and then some. Hanging out clothes in subzero weather was quite a feat for her, believe me!
She never complained although we would occasionally see her sit off by herself and cry while we ate what there was in front of us. Sometimes there would be deer venison to supplement the food supply of garden grown vegetables. Other times our dinner would be fried oatmeal paddies made from the left over breakfast porridge of that morning.
From the ages of 12 or 13 we all jumped at the chance of working in the summertime to help make our lives just a little bit better. We all learned early in life that if we worked for whatever the pay was, we got money. If we didn't, there was nothing. But we couldn't sit and wait for the money to come along like everyone is used to doing now..
With the welfare society we've grown into today, people are being born into a ready made system that they can get by on from birth to death without ever having to do a good days work.
The town we were raised in was in a cluster of coal mining villages twenty miles or so apart from each other and smack in the heart of the Rocky mountain Range between B.C. and Alberta. Our average snowfall at the time in Fernie, B.C. was 18 ft. There were times we had to shovel the snow away from the windows to allow adequate light in the rooms.
The traditional thing to do when you got out of high school was to board the coal company train and travel seven miles up the valley to apply for a job. You had to do this 3 times before being hired.
After one trip I choose not to go that route and was fortunate enough to acquire a job with the engineering branch of the B.C. Dept. of highways. I never looked back except to say one of my better days was seeing my home town in the rear view mirror.
I do believe a lot of the poverty in the U.S. is self preferred or self created. I know from personal experience it can be overcome. Just sayin'.

THE EARTH LOST A SWEET LITTLE ANGEL IN CAYLEE ANTHONY
Being a lover of children doesn't make me an expert on how they live and how they've been treated.
I do know that in my entire lifetime, I have loved the little tykes. They are definitely the one pleasant thing in my life that was and is a way to dreamland in a very innocent way. When I held a child and presently hold one as well as a grandchild or great grandchild, I become the softest, most loving
man in the world. It's just that way.
There's nothing perverse about that. It's a beautiful heavenly feeling to say the least.
I was thirteen years old when I first began babysitting around our neighborhood. My first babysitting was for John and Sibel Worthington. Their first baby was John Worthington Jr. and they lived right across the street from our house.
I was continually over at their place when he arrived at home and being asked if I'd like to watch him for a few hours once in a while was a real treat to me. They paid me for doing it but I would have done it anyway. My mother and sisters were right across the street if I had a problem.
After all, my mother raised eleven of us by herself, so I wasn't worried. Could you ask for a better advisor? I think not.
Sadly enough though, Just the other day I heard that he passed away as a result of alcoholism. I feel remorse because I still see him as a little fella that I loved very much.
Which brings me to think about poor little Caylee Anthony. I'm not going to point fingers or cast guilt on any particular person, but obviously someone committed the crime. There's someone who killed this infant and that party is and always will be a monster. The crime was committed in the absence of God. There will probably never be a sense of guilt to whomever did it. Mainly because people who don't believe in a punishment in the hereafter tend to be self serving as a result. There's no sense of guilt whatsoever. I'm not a saint, but it doesn't stop me from saying "God bless America"
Just sayin'.
can't imagine anyone else

IS THE U.N. TRYING TO TAKE US DOWN AND WHY? Brought forward from it's 2011 edition.
In a disturbing report this morning on Fox news, the U.N. is planning to advance it's stance on the
World Health Organization's Gigantic plan on turning the world "GREEN".
To the tune of 1.9 trillion a year. 79 trillion over 40 years. This is not something I dreamed up, folks.
So I have to ask this question: Has the U.N. out lasted it's purpose for which it was established?
The U.N. was founded in 1945 after World War #2 to replace The League of Nations. The reason for this, as I understand it, was because the League of Nations had forgotten it's purpose and corruption had wiggled it's way in to the point it was no longer functional.
The U.N. was established mainly to stop wars between Countries and to provide a platform for dialogue.It now consists of multiple subsidiary organizations with missions other than just conflicts between countries who are members.
There are currently 192 member states, some of whom are so poor they don't pay anything to belong.
They just kind of hang in there for the benefits. Although it's own identity, the Vatican is not recognized and is not a member.
The U.N. consists of six principal Organs: The General Assembly, The Security Council,The Economic and Social Council,The Secretariat, The International Court of Justice and The United Nations Trusteeship Council.
It has since added other system agencies such as The World Health Organization,The World Food Program and the United Nations Children's fund.
The U.N.s top Figure is the Secretary General currently known as Ban Ki Moon of South Korea.
The six official languages are: English, Arabic,Mandarin Chinese,French, Russian and Spanish.
It's location is in International territory in New York City.
I gathered from the Fox News Report that the U.N.s future aim is to follow the Marxist cause, mainly wealth redistribution.
This can only mean one thing. The death of Capitalism that this country has thrived on for 250 years.
A simple deduction is only needed here. When you're on the top, there's no place to go but down.
The U.N. has become just like it's predecessor, the League of Nations. Corrupt, dishonest and of no good use to the free countries of the world. They only get by on our money.
With the help of Al Gore and to his financial benefit, The Liberal left successfully convinced the innocent people of this country that the diminishing Ozone layer was contributing to global warming.
It took years of convincing that this was so. To the detriment and admonishment of our former Wa. governor, Dixie Lee Ray. The environmentalists degraded her, the Liberal Press made fun of her and
the Grant receiving research scientists made her out to be a liar when she said the hole in the Ozone layer was a re-occurring phenomena that would go away.
Dixie Lee was an accomplished Scientist who knew what she was talking about.
Forgiveness is not a word in my book for them doing what they did to that good lady.
Now you don't hear the phrase "Global Warming" anymore because it's been proven by Mother Nature herself to have been a false moneymaking scam.
So now the same people have dreamed up a new scam they can benefit from. "Climate change" is the new word in the U.N. Just sayin'.

THE SAFE ZONE POEM.
email me macgeo1234@hotmail.com
"THE SAFE ZONE"
I dream up my blogs while I'm doing my chores
While I'm cleaning the walls in the bathroom
I grimace while cleaning the toilet room floors
and sweep up the dust with the whisk broom
I make up my bed and I sing little songs
And even hum tunes of my making
A whistle will do as my heart sings along
My wife doesn't know what I'm baking
My comfort in this is to raise up my voice
And sing out the things in my dreaming
I humor myself and feel joy at my choice
I look in the mirror and I'm beaming.
I say what I want cause I know very well
I'm safe in expressing my wishes
It's true I assume that I am safe as hell
No man's been killed doing the dishes.

ON A DAY LIKE TODAY- JULY 4th. INDEPENDENCE DAY
email me macgeo1234@ho9tmail.com
To think of today as not just any day but the day this Country gained it's Independence from England.
A time when taxation was too overwhelming for the landowners to bear, brought on by a Monarchial country that was dominating the rest of the civilized world.
It was viewed by the Colonists as "Taxation without representation".
Try to picture the trials and tribulation the new people of this great country endured to avoid such an unnecessary, additional burden placed upon them. To go to the effort of transforming their "plowshares to swords" so to speak in order to resist and repel the dictatorial and monetary demands of a nation some 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
Imagine the heart wrenching feeling the men had in their stomachs and the women in their bosoms as they watched their ragtag, makeshift army march off to fight the largest most organized and well equipped army in the world at that time. Just to face the fear that they may never see each other again.
The question heavy on the minds of the mothers as to who would come home if and when to harvest the crops, gardens and venison to feed them through the coming seasons. Pretty tough breeds of people to say the least. Our army won and we survived to become an Independent, proud Nation.
In 1914, World war 1 came along and our European friends needed help to fight a war they were so badly losing to Germany and it's aggressive Allies. Once again the warriors of this country volunteered to help and defeated the enemies of our European friends. Millions of people died in that war. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians and Americans alike died for the sake of people who didn't even live here. One more time our Countries were victorious and went on to prosper as free Nations, second to none.
War reared it's ugly head once more in 1939 as Germany and Japan began invading the free, friendly Nations including Britain. With America sending vital supplies to help the survival of our European allies under siege, war was declared between the U.S. and Japan with the Invasion of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th,1941. Germany declared war on us at approximately the same time. Many American and Canadian lives were lost in that one too. Once again, We won.
All of these battles were fought not for the sake of fighting a war, but to protect and save the integrity of our precious freedom. Our Western countries knew that with the fall of our European friends, we could be next on the list to being forced to succumb to Dictatorships.
Then came Korea, then Viet Nam and the tens of thousands who died for the sake of freedom for our friends.
Our country didn't become the great, free Nation that it is just by accident. We paid for it in human sacrifice and the blood of our dead and wounded warriors. We were the most powerful, independent people in the World not only by defending our freedom, but the freedom that exists in the Allied
world today.
This weekend is a time for celebration of our success and a tribute to our military veterans who faced fear and sacrificed their lives and spirits to give us what we have now.
I say shame on those who would apologize to the rest of the world for what we are or have done defensively in the past.
We are what we are and owe no apologies to anyone. A retired General once said, "I wonder who dislikes us the most? The ones where we kicked their ass, or the ones where we saved them?"
Have a great long week-end, Patriots! God bless America! Just sayin'.
