POLITICS HAVE NEVER BEEN A HAPPY ISSUE! BUT DAMNED IF YOU DO, AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T!

     The worst legal voter there can possibly be, is a dedicated voter who faithfully votes in every election because they feel they owe it to their Country as a Citizen. Yet they don't know the first thing about the facts. They're voting on the assumption that the Politician and Party they are throwing their support behind is going to do the right thing.
     They aren't asking themselves this one very important question; Is the person they're voting for running on behalf of the Constituents alone or are they running on behalf of a Special Interest Group.
     I'll argue, if the money the politician is using comes mostly from a Special Interest Group that doesn't represent the most desired concerns of the Consumers (which 90% of us are!) but instead money,then that politician is not going to be acting most of the time on behalf of the Consumer, but on behalf of the Special Interest Group. But for the voters all the while, they are naively of the assumption they can take the politicians word for the "Gospel" truth! (Which it probably won't be!)
     Why don't they know the facts? Well... a great deal of the time they have been advised by the same politician or Party they trust, "not to believe anything they hear, and only half of what they see!" Unless of course, they hear it from the Politician or the Special Interest Group that claims to represent them, but really doesn't.
     The particular Party I'm referring to, can only be "The Progressive Party" since their preferred name change from the "Democratic" Party because "Democratic" is not in anyway similar to their intended notions and un-Democratic plans for "Change" to this Country.
     You can look this up for yourself and you'll find that "Progressive" was the name back in the old days that the "Communist Party of America" changed it's name to when it fell out of favor with the American electorate. Their intentions didn't change, but I guess they thought they should soften the terminology a little bit. (Subterfuge has been a long time strategy of theirs, much the same as today!) I don't believe they've reverted back from "Democratic" to "Progressive" is just a coincidence, but just a step toward the eventual name, "Communist" when they feel it's appropriate, but not just now. Not until they're more sure that we have gone too far to reverse it.
      You can thank the Conservative Party and the General Electorate for wrenching control of the House of Representatives away from them in 2010 and placing it's control back to the Republicans. Because that's the only thing that's held them back from destroying our Constitutional way of life altogether. There's no doubt, they would have done it by now, otherwise.
      There is a very difficult job ahead, trying to convince the above referenced naïve voter to recognize the facts and the "other side of the story" once they've been trained to never tune themselves into what someone might have to say that would contradict whatever they've been instructed and trained to think.
      It's difficult to de-program people with this kind of mindset once they've been taught it, because they refuse to believe they've been "Brainwashed" in the first place.
      The last resort I must caution you about is an explosion of temper, mainly because you're interfering with the Eutopia they have created for themselves
      in the belief that I mentioned before, "Believe nothing what you hear, and half of what you see", unless hearing it from us!. That's there demand.
      Another great ploy they have is to encourage them not to get into conversation with anyone who might make reference to something that would be in contradiction to what they think. They're taught to respond by saying, "I don't believe in confrontation!" Often followed by, "Could we please change the subject?" Or, in order to deflect a reference to something done by the Current Administration that's un-Constitutional, "The Republicans did it too!" or "All of them are the Same!" or (There favorite saying) "George W. Bush did it!" or "Ronald Reagan did it!" Or their greatest defense, "Please, lets' not spoil a good time by you arguing about it!" and many more including "You people are so unhappy all the time!" "Why are you always so unhappy?"
      An unknown author once said, "When rape is inevitable, lay back and enjoy it!"
      I often think that's similar to what they want us to do! Well.... Holler like hell!
      And last but not least, (Something I've mentioned several times before when you're talking to someone who's not just an uninformed, innocent believer, but truly one of their "Atheist believer Pundits,") is the phony smile they have been in "the lockstep habit" of displaying with the look on their face as if to say, "I'm so much wiser than you!".
      I swear, you couldn't wipe that smile off their face with a "knock out" punch.
      Until we all learn to counter their tactics by exposing them to being the phonies that they truly are to the legal voting population of this Country, They're always going to dominate the political issues with their "Arm and Hammer." system. 
       The second most dangerous voter is the improper or illegal one. If the voting rules aren't enforced and offenders aren't dealt with appropriately, we're going to have an election disaster worse than 2012.
     It's a 'must' that those voters be forced to produce proper documentation in order to register to vote, otherwise the same thugs will get their way again. I sure don't hear much chatter on the matter right now.  
      I still feel if the "Phony" Federally appointed judges had done their job in accordance with the Constitution, as was their job, the enemy of the Gov't of the people would never have gotten elected in the first place! Just sayin'.
     
    

A FIREFIGHTING SAGA WHEN I WAS A KID.....A short story.

      At the age of 15 yrs. and as usual, along with a lot of other kids, I was broke. In those days after the end of the 2nd World War, the Coal Industry slowed down in our hometown of Fernie and we were anxious young teenagers looking for every way possible to earn a few bucks.
      During the out-of-school months, sometimes farm work in the harvesting season, work of any sort on a Gov't survey crew doing topographical mapping of the local areas, and lying about our ages to fight forest fires during the fire season was the thing to do. The legal age requirement was 16 years, but some of us (Including yours' truly) didn't volunteer to fess that up if we weren't asked.
      Some of the fires we would volunteer for were spot fires from a passing lightning storm, and the forestry hadn't come of age technically speaking to extinguish fires from the aid of airplanes and helicopters as they do now.
      So the importance of spotting those fires was most often reported by shortwave radio from livable forestry lookouts strategically placed on the higher mountain tops for the summer.
      One summer day, myself and Richard Haraluk, an older friend of 17, were hanging around the White Spot Café doing nothing productive when we were approached by Buster Barnes, a Forest Ranger who had recently received a report that a stump fire had been ignited by lightning up in the Flathead Valley, just East of the small town of Corbin, B.C.
      The Flathead Valley was still a remote, wilderness area where few people inhabited it year round, but was accessible by 4-wheel drive and horse-pack provided by some of the local people in the surrounding areas. It stretches from the Corbin area in the Rocky Mountain Range, to Kalispell Mont.
      I knew that specific area because I had earlier in the summer ,worked as a rodman/chainman for a Survey Company doing the mapping of that Region for the Canadian Gov't. (Looking older, there was no question of my age.)
     Without any second thoughts about it, we volunteered to go.
     So the following day, after getting supplies to last 3 or 4 days, hand tools such as short-handled shovels and grub-hoes etc., some horse blankets, lean-to canvasses and such, we got started on our way.
     As we were leaving Fernie, Buster stopped to pick up another fellow whom he introduced us to as Barney McKinley, a  freelance reporter who was not only a stranger to the area but a complete novice when it came to back country existence. He had travelled west to do a report for a Montreal Newspaper on fighting forest fires.
      We were all gung ho and excited as we wound our way off the highway and up the back-roads that got tougher and rougher, then finally requiring Buster to use four-wheel drive as we climbed up to the site on the side of a mountainous hillside to the embarkation point.
      Scrambling out of the vehicle and stretching our legs, Buster pointed out a wisp of smoke that was estimated to be 10 to 12 miles away and without any known trails to get there.
      Worse yet, there had been a very rare, hurricane type windstorm that had blown through the Flathead Valley about 10 years prior, that looked just like the blown-down forest after Mt. St. Helens erupted. (In fact, when I saw the aerial view of  the eruption damage, it reminded me of the many years before of the same condition we encountered on this trip.)
      While surveying through that area previously that summer, we knew what to expect, but poor old little spindly Barney McKinley, had no idea. We had all-weather, rough souled boots that were far more appropriate than Barney's brand new high-top, shiny leather soled boots he had purchased in anticipation of our trip. Expensive boots, yes! But walking on felled trees 2ft. through and had shed their bark, No!!
      Regardless, we had committed ourselves to this job, and we had no intention of stopping now. So we started packing our stuff into three back packs and without proper forethought, most of the food was canned stuff. Not thinking about the weight distribution as we packed everything, most of the canned food was placed in one pack, while the blankets and camping gear in another. The rest of the tools and miscellaneous gear were placed in the third. 
     After reassuring ourselves we had all we needed, we bid farewell to Buster and he turned around and left.
     The first 300' down the steep brush covered mountain side turned out to be an eye opener, since little Barney had grabbed the first pack loaded with the food, which was by far, the heaviest. To anyone having experience backpacking, you know that it's more difficult travelling down a steep incline with a heavy load and is quite a bit harder than climbing up the same.
     Barney ended up rolling butt over tea kettle most of the way down, and battered and sore, had to rest up while Dick and I repacked everything to weigh at least somewhere near the same, proportionately.
     Then, an unexpected thunderstorm came by soaking and making the trees we were forced to climb over and walk on, slippery. Another problem for Barney with his smooth, leather soled, high top boots. The rain finally stopped and we continued walking towards our goal that we knew was directly in line with a rock outcropping 30 miles across the valley.
     We never reached the burning area by nightfall, and we decided to pick a reasonable spot to set up our temporary campsite to start a fire, relax and dry out before preparing our beds of cedar boughs and blankets. We then erected our canvas lean-to's in case of more rain. Dick and I were fine, but poor Barney showed us his shins with the skin all barked off and bleeding from the slipping and sliding on the wet, fallen trees. But half a box of band-aids and warm food heated over the fire gave us all a more hopeful outlook towards the day ahead.
     Barney, not having waterproofed his new boots, placed them before the fire to dry in preparation for the next day, and we all retired to sleep solidly until morning.
     As we all reached for our boots, Barney let out a long sigh and held up his boots for us to see. He had placed them too close to the fire and the tops were charcoaled down about 3 inches. He cried, and we almost cried with him. It was a disappointing start of the day for little Barney.
     However, we trudged on after having a sandwich breakfast, to reach the site of the burning stump around 10:00 A.M. to actually find to our delight that there was no fire to fight. The rain from the day before had extinguished it completely. But as a precaution, we spread out the remains and shoveled dirt over them before leaving to hike the long trail, back.
     We arrived back at the embarkation site sooner than expected due to not having to spend any allotted time extinguishing a blaze that wasn't there any longer. However, it was evening so we set up camp at the bottom of the steep hillside and settled down for an uneventful night again starting a bonfire to have our dinner of pork and beans, Prem,( Spam) and hot coffee.
     To us, it couldn't have tasted better. This time, making sure that Barneys boots weren't placed too close to the fire again.
     We awoke the next morning, and after another sandwich breakfast of the remainder of the lunchmeat, sat and relived our experience of those two previous days, telling Barney we expected him to mail us his newspaper report on his firefighting adventure. We had a laughing good time over his burned top boots and he did ;promise us he'd never forget the experience and would mention our names in his story.
      Buster Barnes arrived around Noon to pick us up and return us to Fernie where we were paid for our services and Dick and I each chipped in to help Barney pay for some new shoes.
      Well Barney, we never did hear from you again. but wherever you may be, if you're still alive, I want you to know, I wrote this story for you!  Just sayin'.

     

QUIT TURNING YOUR HEADS ON THE FACT THAT OBAMA AGREES WITH OUR MUSLIM ENEMIES!

       I used to, along with everyone else, think that Barack Hussein Obama was just naïve about the true intentions of Iran developing a Nuclear bomb and believing that they won't. But now I know better.
      This Muslim has been in lockstep with their intentions to develop one all along. This guy has always known their intentions of having one, right from the get-go! I'm convinced he is one of them all the way. (Or so he wants them to believe.)
      I believe it's been his goal to neuter Uncle Sam as quickly and as forcefully as need be. He has already accomplished it financially with the enormous debt he's established and now except for his personal use of the military to his advantage coming soon, he's disabled us in defending ourselves against aggression as it's taking place right now.
      Using brute force with the help of the military against us is no longer thought of as absurd. He hasn't backed down on one single thing he aims to do. He hates Patriotic, Constitutional America as we have always loved it, and everything it stands for. He was raised in the Muslim World in Indonesia and along with his grandparents, his wife and friends hates the ground the Constitution was written on.
      He wasn't educated as a teenager in a patriotic environment and instead was trained in the Muslim faith to despise the success of the Western World.
      He's comfortable with lying to anyone who isn't Muslim in the belief it doesn't offend Mohammed as long as it's on behalf of furthering the Islamic Faith. They believe in him.
     But as I've said repeatedly, it's strictly a façade to satisfy the Muslims in the sense that he once did truly believe in Mohammed and his beliefs until he was introduced to Atheism when he first came to the United States from the Islamic World environment.
     Realizing that his Narcissism fit into his desire for power and money more readily, he pursued Atheism in a way the Chicago thugster style would be. After all, Chicago was the only America he was familiar with. He immediately recognized the rewards that would come to him if he followed the route of Atheism where, not believing in Christianity was a mutual feeling shared by Atheists and Muslims. They shared several major mutual beliefs in regard to Christian doctrine. Their biggest enemy was the 3 sacred documents based on Christianity and the Ten Commandments.
e.g., They both crave power in the World. They both see no wrong in lying, deceiving or killing at will if that's what it takes to satisfy the desires of Atheism and/or Islam.
      Either way, there is no fear of repercussions from a higher power.
      Think about this; Barack Obama faces certain death if he abandons the Islamic faith. He, now being an Atheist, has no fear of Mohammed but it wouldn't be Mohammed seeking revenge. It would be his followers and that is something he needs to be careful about. So he needs to walk softly among them and besides, he needs their support to get his way.
     He actually went through his metamorphosis when he graduated from a Muslim to an Atheist in the Chicago based Saul Alinsky Atheist "Midwest Academy", circa 1983. In so doing, he also served on the Board of Directors. This after Hillary Rodham completed her course prior and had written a thesis on the principle of Atheism and it's doctrine.
     Hillary Rodham was of course, to later become Hillary Rodham Clinton.
     Haven't you at least wondered at the fact that Obama has surrounded himself with people he met or hung around with at the Atheist "Midwest Academy" and Harvard University where Atheism is predominantly preached there, as well?
     Barack Obama no longer worries about his strength as U.S. President at this juncture. His goal is much higher than that.
     If you really want to get my drift, all you have to do is go to the nearest library or the Internet and read the Facts from the book, "The Trilateral Commission" and start connecting the dots.
     You'll be disappointed to learn that it's the intentions of the International Billionaires and many more influential worldly Philanthropists and Statesmen to sate their appetites for greed by turning the World into one large Identity. The "New World Order". Under one controlling group, they would totally have power over every major decision to be made in the World, including the use of all the worlds natural resources they would so badly need.
     Guess who wants to be President?  YUP!!  Take note of how he refers to everything in a "Worldly concern" lately. More and more he talks about the concerns of the "World" and not just the United States. He thinks he already has all of  the 'North America' part "Under Wraps"
     He and his bunch have already dismissed us and our "Phony" Constitution. Just sayin'.

OBAMA'S LATEST PLOY: "IF YOU CAN'T DAZZLE THEM WITH BRILLIANCE, BAFFLE THEM WITH BULL S**T!

     And now that the President has dwindled in his phony "Brilliance", he has resorted to the "Bulls**t". It's not just his idea of course, but the desperation of the "Well Oiled Machine", now that the Al Qaida faction has had a great expanse of time to rebuild and strengthen itself, (particularly since he's been feeding them with arms and ammunition for "God knows how long") beyond the power it had before Barack Obama came into power.
     All the time under the guise he was supporting the "Good guys" defeat the Evil, Muslim Dictators around the world, he has been supplying Al Qaida and their youthful underlings, "Al Shabaab" with their Terrorist needs.
     With no longer the need to realize who hates us the most as an enemy of the Muslim faith and World, we only have to look at the Terrorist acts taking place around the world as I write this blog.
     We must recognize that, no matter who wins in these internal battles for control among the Muslim Countries, they still have one basic, solid intention cemented in their religion to eradicate any other religion or race that disagrees with their Islamic beliefs. Right now they're killing at random everywhere on the globe.
     It isn't the America people waging a war against the Islamic World, but Islam's war against us.
     And guess who the most powerful Muslim in the World is right now? Well, he can deny being a Muslim if he wants, but his actions cannot hide it any longer, Yes, he's looking at you through your T.V. every moment of every day, Barack Hussein Obama.
     The true human chameleon. One day he's a Christian when speaking to Christians, The next day he's a Muslim when talking to Islamists and last but not least, he is an Atheist when talking to Atheists.. So how can that possibly make any sense? Well, to make any sense of it at all, in order to stay in power by way of  electoral votes, he has to rely on favorability by all three.
     How does he do it? The first election, was won by Dazzling the uninformed voter with smooth "Chicago" Style "brilliance"
     The second election was won by depending on short memories, mis-informed voters and the totally uncontrolled manipulation of finances he had never before dreamed of during his entire narcissistic, sociopathic life. Inexhaustible Taxpayer money! With the help of uncontrolled voting that was paid for through Public assistance to tens of millions of illegal Aliens.
     With it being almost too late now, he has more or less abandoned the claim of being a Christian, mainly because of his solid stance behind the dissolution of  Christian references in Government affairs.
Remember, he can't run for President again due to term limits, anyway. He's looking beyond this term at a worldly position.
     The Muslim religious situation is far more serious, since he, as a confirmed Islamist and because of the fear of imminent death if he tries to leave it, is bound until death not to abandon it.
     So he has cleverly and wisely, although also a proven Atheist who graduated from, and served on the board of the Atheistic "Midwest Academy" in the heart of Chicago along with Hillary Rodham. (Clinton), combined forces with the two in the regards to their opposition to Christianity.
     By combining the two, they are solidly behind the irradication of any religions other than Islamic.
     All of this is inspired by his never-ending REAL goal of being the Supreme Leader of the future "New World Order", and explains why he so often refers to concerns of the U.S. internal business as not being in line with the general opinion of the U.N. or the European Union.(Or often in reference to "TheWorld.")
     Take notice how he more than frequently leaves the Country to stay in tune with all the Worldly affairs and habitually abandoning what concerns we have internally. He has far more concern about the Worldly business, than he has for just the U.S. problems back in this country.
     In his mind, he has elevated his importance to a position higher than that of just the President of the United States.
     He assumes that he is invincible, just as Hitler did.
     As far as the difference that will exist once his two factions take control, he's kicking the can down the road to solve later.
     The answer to all of this is, to never allow him or them to get that powerful in the first place.
     Right now, think about this: He is, and has been arming the very enemies by subversive means, while at the same time trying to disarm the citizens of the United states of their most principle means of defending our freedoms. Gun control.
      But don't by any means, think that this is a ploy of Obama and his Regime, alone. Far from it!
      He is backed by many, if not all the International Billionaires and Atheists in the World, who all have an interest in the Natural resources we are so rich in. Resources they so badly desire to use at the discretion of the Whole World, not the people of North America.
       If we don't wrench control back from those "Greed over Commonsense" Companies, We will without a doubt, lose them all. Just sayin'.

    

THE SARCASTIC (WE'RE A CUT ABOVE) LAUGH OF THE LEFT WHEN FACED WITH AN HONEST QUESTION.

     As I've pointed out in several previous blogs it seems to be a ploy that's been cleverly woven into the fabric of the 'clown smile' mask the Communistic Left wears when they face a tough question by a sincere reporter in search of the real truth.
     What they don't realize, along with a lot of unaware voters is, they're also laughing at all of the people who are out of work, and looking for an honest answer as well. (When I say "unaware" voter, I'm talking about the voter who's so busy trying to make ends meet due to rising costs and cut-back working hours, that they don't have time to pay attention to the reason why.)
     I suggest that, along with me, Conservatives would be wise in pointing out this offensive gesture the spokesmen on the radical Left are in the habit of making while in the public view.
     They also have other identifiable habits as well, such as over-talking, double-talking and lying in co-ordinated lock-step with each other, but the most irritable one is the sardonic laugh and/or grin before double-talking their answer. That is, should they even answer the question at all.
     So take the time to notice those familiar traits as you watch their responses. As you're taking in their rhetoric, also remind yourself that they're laughing at people who represent your serious concerns and your wish to bring this Country back to the Powerful, Patriotic Nation it once was.
     In the case of our individual freedom, each time we "Compromise" anything concerning the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution, we are surrendering something and they in turn, are taking it away.  Just sayin'.
    
    
    

THE UNIQUE "STAND IN LINE" PROCESS FOR LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE U.S. OF AMERICA.

     A long time, legal immigrant to the U.S. from India and a friend as well, brought up a point of interest to me that until now, was something we as Americans are naturally accustomed to doing without really putting much thought to it. But with the promoted division in ranks and status being forced on us by the current "Progressive" Party and "Dictatorial" President in control of our Country right now, it has been glaringly accentuated.
     To my point of view, it's a part of their agenda of separating the chosen few from the rest of the Sheeple population. I will label it in my blog as, "The Stand in Line Syndrome".
     From the moment this Great Country began the orderly fashion of allowing immigrants inside our Nation's borders, there was created a 'Stand in line' process so the passage system was done in an orderly fashion.
     In 1892, Ellis Island was chosen to be the Gateway to the "New World". An island of many previous names such as the Native Indian name of "Kioshk" or "Gull" Island, then "Anderson" Island and "Oyster" Island, then finally "Ellis" Island when it was finally purchased and owned by Samuel Ellis in 1770. It became the Gateway to the "New World" from 1872 at which time the Statue of Liberty was erected and shadowed the Gateway until 1954 as the Immigrants were required to 'stand in line' to qualify their entry.
     Today, the habit of 'Stand in Line' is still the fashion used in our Country. For postal services, stand in line. For Soup kitchens, stand in line. For grocery and variety stores, stand in line. For public assistance, stand in line. All of this could go on and on.
     That was when it applied to everyone, and everybody abided by that unwritten rule, respectfully and orderly.
     Until recently, when some of our Gov'ts, including the Obama Administration took a turn to the Totalitarian minded "Left", the 'stand in line' system applied to everyone, regardless of rank or stature.
     Not anymore! It's not 'First come, first serve' but more and more selectively as the "New (Communistic) Direction" takes place. Just as this Nation was graduating into a conglomerated group of races, when people were comfortable with rubbing shoulders with each other's origins and nationalities, the illegal immigration issue raised it's ugly head. 
     This "New Direction", boasted by the Barack Obama Regime exempts people from our 'stand in line' requirements. It seems they are exempt from those rules.
     They deliberately began re-creating the division we had so painfully built over the recent years.
     For ordinary Americans who have always abided by the customs and habits of the past, and the Constitutionally guided way of life, we are still in the "Stand in Line" style of life.
     But for the Illegal Immigrants who are crossing our borders at will with the aspect and possible amnesty promise, and other minority groups, they are exempt from our 'Stand in Line' custom.
     If, and when amnesty takes place, they will  be spared the orderly requirement of 'Stand in Line' document  process, and immediately declared citizens of the United States with no need for background checks, prior country criminal history checks, and no need for physical barriers to hold them back. All in exchange for their promise of votes and donations, whether legal or illegal, in the next scheduled Federal and State elections.
     They will once again be exempt from the regular process of having to show proof of ID in order to register vote. They are als exempt from having to produce proper ID when applying for Federal and State Assistance or proof of Income.
     For any special Interest groups who have backed Obama financially in the election campaigns, they have become exempt by "Executive Order".
     For them, they have been placed in the "Pecking Order" category where they will be specially  treated in accordance with their "Pecking Order" importance. (eg; How much had they contributed financially to the Leftist's re-election campaign?).    
     But guess what?? There were so many of those special Interest Groups waiting to be exempted, they're going to have to "STAND IN LINE!!
     And guess what's going to happen when these controlling Narcissists approach the Pearly Gates they're not expecting to see?  YOU GUESSED IT!! "STAND IN LINE!!"    Just sayin'.
    

ANALYZING THE CHAMELEON LOONS ON THE LEFT.

     The way I see it, anyway.
     There's something that some of us are failing to see about the thinking of the loons we are facing on the Left. First of all, we can go back 50 years and look at the behavior that hasn't changed in that length of time.
     They are Anti-Constitutional. They are Anti-war of any kind, that is of course, unless they wage it. They are anti-draft. They are anti-flag. They are flag burners. They are by self determination, everything that disrespects good old American Patriotism.
     They are all of those things for sometimes different reasons, but universally, the bottom line is, they are still, and are always going to be, all of those things.
     It's unfortunately a mindset, that the rest of us in the majority aren't going to change. But it is something we should at least recognize, they are definitely not going to change.
     They are the same old, typically bearded, sandal wearing, hashish pipe smoking jerk-offs that have never given up on their dumb "Peacenik" ideas that peace in the world might be the answer to "Global Warming".
     They have the tendency to be, if not homosexual, then at least bi-sexual and through the use of the word "Compromise" have managed to change such things as the perception of  obviously "perverted" homosexuality to "Alternative Normal", and the law of the land according to our Judeo/Christian beliefs that marriage is "between a man and a woman". This mis-interpreted by a bi-sexual minded Federal Judge to now being legal for same sex marriage.
     Their perception of peace in the world, as has been Jimmy Carter's, Bill Clinton's and now Barack Obama's, is that if every country in the world had the same arms and weapons as the United States of America, no one would want to go to war, for fear of being wiped out themselves.
     E.G.: If you look back to the days of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and now, Barack Obama, our top secret weapons information went out to our Communist enemies through manufactured leaks as though coming out of a sieve. They all had, and still have, that sort of reasoning in mind.
      In the meantime, we have to go on with business as usual, pampering their childish whimpers and when forced to do so, defend this country militarily and morally when unexpected events take place in our real world.
     With the Radical Islamic World in mind, the use of these nuclear and biological weapons would only be a "Win, win" situation, because they think, when they, the Muslims, forfeit their lives for the sake of Allah, they will be rewarded with dozens of virgins when they reach heaven.
     They're all that kind of "stupid" in that regard including the thoughts from, "The Enemy Within" our borders.  I refer to the "Muslim Brotherhood."
     Until we all, as patriotic Americans recognize these Chameleons regardless of what color they really are, for what they are, we won't clearly realize what we have to do to reverse their ongoing trend to "Compromise".
     To compromise in this case is to surrender our moral obligations to God, a little bit more each time., and they in turn, gain a little bit more each time.
     For us, we are putting ourselves in a position of "Defense" where we never win.
     Surely we should have learned a lesson from the 2008 election when the "Communistic" Democrats took total control for two short years and changed the political make-up of our Constitution from something respectful, to what is now considered by them to be a "Joke". Something they understand to believe should be used for their defense when they need it, but not useful to us when we so badly need it.
     It's a clear-cut example of, "Don't do as I do, but do as I say".
     Maybe ignoring the Constitution for once in defense of ourselves, by ignoring their claim to it when they need it, might be a fair change of heart.
    Operating outside the boundaries of our three Sacred Documents in a way that would "Compromise" them is treasonous to say the least, anyway. Isn't it??
      As a closing statement I would like to tender this advice; Should we ever be in a unique position to have two thirds majority as Republicans in both the House of Representatives and the Senate along with a Republican President, Please don't hesitate to rush behind closed doors, locking out the minority Communists, disabling them to filibuster due to the lockout. Then , without thought or understanding the damage you'll be undoing, nullify every law and mistake that was ever made by them while they were there, and forever ban the disillusional name of "Progressive." (A soft term for Communist)
      Also change the term "Alternative Normal" back to "Perverted", petition the Supreme Court to disallow same-sex marriage and then proceed to make use of extra jails to hold the thieves who have robbed our treasury when we weren't looking.
      I'm open to comments! Anyone???   Just sayin'.
   
    

"A BLANKET OF HOPE AND STRENGTH", AND WHY WE'RE FREE!

     When I look at the three Sacred Documents that made and kept this Country Great and free, I couldn't help but wonder how it originated from the "Get-Go." Where did all this begin in the first place?
     So I did some research that I'm sure, if you're a proud American as I am, it will peek your interest and cement your dedication to those documents even more than you already are.
     My thoughts go all the way back to the first pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock on the 100' long Mayflower, circa November 23rd, 1619.
     First of all, not starting there, but back to the days they left their home in Europe two months prior. It was to pursue a dream of starting a new life that would take them away from the dregs of "Monarchial" bondage, and the everyday boredom of wondering with a bleak outlook as to what the next day would bring, and the Monarch and Dictators of their countries would demand of them the next day. Never ending demands that would only keep them scratching for food and shelter, taxes and very little else for themselves to enjoy.
     Their Leaders were continually draining them of any wealth they might have been able to enjoy.
     It must have been a desperate move for them to make, leaving Europe at the beginning of the Fall season, considering the rough, open weather of the Atlantic sea at that time of year. But since a storm had already turned them back from a previous attempt with a broken mast on July 10th, 1619, they stubbornly left again Sept. 15th, knowingly aware of the nasty storms they were bound to encounter.
     However, considering where they left from, and following the same parallel along their way, the weather wouldn't be much different from the land they were destined to land on in Cape Cod in the Americas.
     They arrived there on Nov,11th, and immediately upon arrival at Cape Cod, They assembled to sign the "Mayflower Compact", a Christian based document drawn up by William Bradford, thought now to be the precursor  to the "Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence". They then proceeded to their final destination, Plymouth Rock on Nov. 23rd, 1619. (This Writer's birthday in 1936!)
     After having suffered the loss of a considerable number on the trip over, they were to face a severe winter in which they lost 30 more to weather related conditions, leaving them with a scant 30 or so to carry on their dream.
     Due to their delay in leaving Europe, they had little time to prepare for that relentless winter, accounting for such a disastrous toll.
     As it happened, they would go on to be the original pioneers of the birth of what would become the greatest Nation in the World, completely composed of immigrants from all over the World, joined in Judeo/Christian harmony and fabricating what I like to think of as "The Blanket of Hope and Strength". A blanket that would keep one and all from being dominated by Monarchial and Dictatorship ever again.
     In other words, no one person would ever be granted the sole authority to decide the financial or political future of this Country, EVER!!
     When those Sacred Documents were presented to the Congress for approval, A founding Father who helped draw up those documents remarked, "If it survives!"
     God help us, we are now learning what he meant, considering the situation we are facing today.
     It's not difficult to understand why our ancestors planned the rights of the common citizens by way of those Documents. It's \because they were written and signed by people of the same fabric as the Immigrants of the "Mayflower".  A government "Of the People, By the People, and For the People," So Help Us God!!
     At that time, of course, it was because of the dangers lurking in the immediate future, and a great development of events that would cause us to write those wishes in stone for America.
     This "Blanket of Hope and Strength", with the courage and assistance from God has always in the past, maintained our warmth and assurance as a Nation. It was woven by immigrants from all Nationalities in the World. This combination has given us the combined determination, assurance and ability unmatched by any other Nation in the World. A strength that wards off hostile threats to our way of life and the way we wish to live it.
     Starting with George Washington and time and time again, we have asked our military to go to war against outside aggressors, mostly on behalf of other Countries who wished to be free like us, and time after time, without asking rewards in return. Our actions were not in a disgraceful way, but in an honorable one, even though to our regret, many lives were lost in doing so.
     It was a resolve that could only be attributed to the common Immigrants, no matter their origin. They stuck together and committed themselves to freedom come hell or high water.
     This is unique, because there is no other large country in the world that has all those ingredients. There-in lies our strength, until now.
     So what has happened to that resolve? The descendants haven't changed, they know what it took to get this far, Well.... let's hope they do, but the Leadership in power could care less.
     The Country can only be as loyal and strong as the leadership empowered to look after us.
     It comes from the deceptive rise in power of people who, for their own selfish, narcissistic purposes, are hoping to get by on someone else's dime. The politician who, who would achieve advancement on the backs of other hardworking ones, and who ironically enough, are depending on the same politician to be honest on everyone's behalf.
     Through the "line of least resistance", which is proven to never be the way to go, they forget how they got there, and the greedy pursuit of money and power also allows them to forget about God, the most important ingredient of all.
     They are the Atheists, consisting of every devious character simply because not believing in God permits them to do whatever it takes without guilt or consequence. (I've never seen one die with a smile on their face, have you?)
     It appears common they have decided to adopt the phrase, "Honor among thieves" and have no
qualms with that.
     Suddenly we find them trying to discourage us from depending on our principles and beliefs and forcing us to defend their attacks simply because we don't wish to follow the way of Marxists, Atheists, Homosexuals and Christian hating Muslims such as the infamous "Muslim Brotherhood"
     They have become "the enemy within", so to speak.
     It's becoming more and more apparent they're striving to achieve a means of instituting an age-old Feudal system that our good people of "The Mayflower" left behind in Europe in the first place.
     Does it seem just coincidental that almost everyone who's a key figure on the President's Administration, has at one time or another crossed paths with the President in the vicinity of Chicago's infamous Academy of Atheism called The Saul Alinsky "Midwest Academy" ? Either that or they all have been to Harvard or both? Check them out!!
     They know our strengths of togetherness are through "The Blanket of Hope and Strength" blessed upon us by our Founding Fathers and held close to our hearts, even now.
     They also know they can never bring us down as long as we stay within that blanket by believing in the three Sacred Documents I so often refer to.
     We must insist they abide by those Sacred Documents in the execution of their duties, because they have neglected to since the election of 2008, and since their election of 2012, they haven't either, and they're smirking about it as well!
     Just rationalize as to why they haven't, and their motives and actions will reek of deception and diversion and always in the direction of Communism.
     In order to achieve the means of his "Well oiled Machine", ( The very rich, Atheist Billionaires and International Corporations) Obama will not budge on his Quest for Obamacare and raising the debt ceiling, which, already due to ridiculous over-spending ,will result in financial ruin for this country. And what's worse, he knows it!
     Constitutionally speaking, the House of Representatives holds the purse strings on every dime the President intends to spend. According to the Congressional and judicial process, he must have the approval of the House of Representatives who, thank heavens, is back in the control of the Republicans since the 2010 elections. Otherwise we can only imagine how much worse the nightmare would be by now.
     His intention if he can get away with it, is to even bypass that!
     For him to achieve the intentions of "The Well Oiled Machine", he has to first render the Country into financial ruin before he can declare Martial Law by "Executive Order" and finish the job of changing the U.S. from the great Country it once was, to the main, rich International source of raw materials that the rest of the world can help itself to, without hardly paying us a dime.
     We are the richest Country in the world in the respect of raw materials. But with the President's help, we are about to become a nation of immigrants with no control whatsoever over our raw materials and where they should go.
     It will be the greatest Hijack of raw materials in the World if we allow The President and his Atheist cronies to have their way.
     Take notice as you're watching Fox News, channel 48 just to see how "Cock sure" they behave as they laugh at us, like Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the rest of the 'removed from the present' grinners they are ,when someone else is making a common sense point. They're "hearing", but not "listening".
     Once you see it, you'll get sick to your stomach realizing how long you've been fooled by them.
     They purposefully don't want to let the Democratic process work, just so they can defend their actions by blaming it on the Republicans.
     If they get their way, you will no longer have any say, and when you try, the sardonic smilers on the left will only smile some more, as though you wouldn't understand anyway.
    I encourage you, to make it a point to take the time to read the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, and you'll agree with me, they were magnificent minds who got together for the sake of the common man and wrote them for the sole purpose of protecting us, you and me. They did it with the experience of having knowledge of the tyranny they had suffered through before and wanted us to know how to avoid it again. Just sayin'.

THE NEXT YEAR IS A FIGHT TO THE FINISH FOR THE AMERICA WE KNOW.

     When Barack Obama won the Presidency in 2008, who would have thought this man would set himself on a track for Communism like he did? Now, for Pete's sake be honest with yourself!
     It's time for the people who have stuck to their guns as dedicated, ("My Dad and Mom voted Democrat, so I will too!") die hard voters realize the 'honest to goodness' facts as to what he, and his International backers have in mind. It's definitely not the "Good old, stick together" Democratic Party that, when the voters went to the polls, they could, regardless of the Party they voted for, feel quite secure in the fact that the election was being conducted well within the framework of the three Sacred documents Our Founding Fathers had fashioned out with a tremendously, laboriously, "well thought out" plan.
     A plan that assured us that the Monarchial style of  British dominance and "Taxation without Representation" we were previously under, would never again take place in the United States of America.
     Yes, there were differences of opinion, different ideas by different Parties, but the one thing that kept us together was knowing we always had the framework that could still guide us all, regardless of the outcome of election results.
     The one thing that we could depend on, the one principle that kept us united in every war since the Declaration of Independence was the Sacred, Judeo/Christian styled U.S. Constitution!
     It used to be, that when a dispute was taken to the U.S.Supreme Court, (Not an 'Elected' position, by the way,) A decision would be made to the satisfaction of the voting block.
     The U.S. Supreme Court, being not an Elected body, as mighty as it appears, has now placed itself in a position to, (for the sake of lobbyists and politics it should remain above,) re-interpret and make adverse decisions to the point it doesn't allow Judeo/Christian beliefs as they were always intended.
     I believe that the change in their interpretations of the Constitution, such as permitting Homosexuality and Abortion, is clearly wrong in the eyes of the General populace. ( I can't place enough emphasis once again, on a very important fact, the U.S. Supreme Court is not an elected body.) They are tenured and cannot be removed. (possibly a flaw we couldn't have imagined)
     Getting back to the death of the original, Constitution abiding 'Democratic Party' of old, the newly named "Progressive" Party is not designed to operate according to the 3 sacred documents as intended before, when the two major Parties functioned by way of reasonable compromise and at the same time, in tune with our Constitutional guide.
     Quite the opposite! It's apparent to me, and I don't believe I'm alone, their direction is in opposition to our documents and it's their intention to scrap the Constitutional system.
     E.G.: Let me point out to you, the "Progressive Party" as they've decided to call themselves, was the name the "Communist Party of America", changed itself to, in order to disguise or soften, the harsh name "Communist". Even then, they failed so badly at their ideas for America, they soon disbanded as "The Progressive Party" anyway!
     Now they're back to giving it a second try.
     As another point of interest to you, The Atheist Billionaire George Soros, who partially controls the flow of money into the suspicious backing of the Barack Obama Regime, is also the backer, or possibly the controlling investor in the apparently successful "Progressive" Insurance Company.(Coincidence? Maybe!!)
     Must I remind you, it was a conglomerate of Insurance Co's. who, together with Barack Obama, sat down and developed the now "Infamous" Obamacare!
     It's worse than inviting the "Fox to build the henhouse", don't you think?
     By so doing, the Insurance Companies are not regulated with their "price-fixing.
     My main objective in writing this blog is, to try to explain to the Die-hard old Democrats there can be no compromise with the ideas of the Obama Regime. Because to "Compromise" with their ideas is to surrender your belief in the 3 sacred documents that have held us together for so long.
     They cannot believe in our Constitutional guidance and still not be in total opposition to it by promoting their eventual Marxist Communism they have in store for us if they succeed.
     Their specialty is "Control" by any means possible and lying is their motto. Just sayin.
    

THE PHONY DISTRIBUTION OF FREE OBAMA PHONES,

     Fox News revealed today, that when a study was done by an Independent source on the distribution of  free Obamaphones, 46% of distributed phones shouldn't have been issued, due to insufficient background checks on the recipients. As usual, the White House doesn't give any explanation for their blunders.

FACE THE FACTS AMERICA! WHEN YOU"RE LOOKING AT A REGISTERED MEMBER OF THE "PROGRESSIVE" PARTY, YOU"RE LOOKING AT AN ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS AND THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!

     It's clear now, by the brazen behavior and the statements made on record by the then "Senator" Barack Obama during a conversation with retired General Bill Gann on "Meet The Press" on Sept. 7th, 2008.
     That conversation was outlined by me in a blog Sept. 12th, 2013.(It would be well worth your while to read that "word for word" conversation.)
     His statements were not that of a future President of The United States, as most Americans would expect. In his very devious way, he led this country to believe things he didn't mean, in order to gain his narcissistic control.
     It's one thing to vote for an American President for "Change", but it wasn't expected that he would disguise his real reasons for totalitarianism behind "Two-faced" implications as he has done.
     No! People were assuming he, and his Internationally connected backers were making all his "Change" speeches with the purpose of doing it within the boundaries of the three sacred documents, in a positive fashion that would strengthen our Country, not weaken it financially and militarily the way they did.
     To our stunning surprise, it has been the opposite to what the naïve voters thought he meant.
     Who would have thought of what this man and his very well trained supporters knew all along, and deceptively had in mind.
     How cleverly his backers concealed the facts of this man's mysterious past until after the 2008 Presidential elections. And how cleverly as well, they managed to pollute the opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court into ruling that, by not allowing the election officials to make the voters produce proper I.D. before being permitted to vote, would open the gates for millions of illegal citizens to cast their already paid for votes on Obama's behalf.
     But they pulled it off, by stating in their defense, "Everybody does it!", ignoring the fact that 2 wrongs don't make it right. The sad part of it is, they say it time after time, after time and seem to get away with it.
     Even more shocking, was the Congress, who seized the rare opportunity to change the direction we have always been successful with in the past, to one of failure and uncertainty in two short, whirlwind years of unconstitutional tyranny, the likes of which we never imagined.
     In other words, putting it plain and simple, they caught us napping, not recognizing what they had in store for us.
     All of them in any position of authority, right down to the Community Organizers, are barefaced lying if they claim they didn't know.
     But so what, as they'll no doubt say, "Everybody does it".
     Not to hear them admit, they do it 20 times as much more!
     Barack Obama and his gang of thieves have been working hand in hand with Vladimir Putin right from the start of his Presidency.
     I ask all of you who are able to have access to "Fox News", Channel 48 in the Northwest, to watch their broadcasts to get the real skinny on what's going on in North America, because you're not getting it anywhere else. Just sayin.
    

JOHN KERRY SAYS, "THIS ISN"T A GAME!" WHEN IT REALLY AND TRULY IS JUST THAT, AND HE, PUTIN AND OBAMA ARE PART OF IT!

     Forward:
     While reading the following, keep in mind it's obvious that the true intention of the Communist Left is to deliberately degrade the status of this Country by reducing it's financial and Military capabilities down to zero, in order to rebuild it to suit their own tastes. What I'm attempting to point out is, they enjoy helping us degrade ourselves to that level.
     Read on!

    Yes, it is a game! But this game is to the detriment of all of America.
     We're kidding ourselves, if we think they don't know what they're doing. They just want us to THINK they don't know what they're doing.
     Barack Obama has no intention of backing off with his idea for the future of our Country.
     Don't be surprised if he doesn't. If necessary, he will at least bring it to the point of manifestation and/or total Rebellion. He and his supporters have no reverse built into what they have in store for us.
     The stage is already set, as far as they're concerned. All along they have been testing us, with their continual violations of almost every Constitutional Amendment there is, slowly testing, slowly advancing one or two at a time.
     I can see it right down to the local level, when I talk to, or am confronted by people obviously on the Communist Left.
    Their failures are deliberately intended to hurt no one but us, the Patriotic American "Right" and our desire to keep the Country free from World intervention.
    Everything they have done ends up, or points to failure. And we thinking they're just stupid, let it slip by us, one mistake after another. All the while, intentionally leading us into "Intended" loss to us as a whole, and no consequences to them. All the time with their sticky fingers in the pot.
    I used to think of them as being dumb, ignorant and naïve and as just being someone not really in the know. But I now see that, when you approach them in that sense with the intention of straightening them out with real, sensible information, they're already schooled and prepared to repel any such attempt. They already know what the true skinny is, but they've pre-schooled themselves to act dumb about the facts, refuse to listen or read what the positive facts are about any political matter that would mess up what they intend for the future of this Country.
    They have been well trained in every approach they make by just acting like they know nothing. I mean, "Nobody knows anything" It's the greatest "Three stooges" game ever played on us as innocent, common Americans, and it's taking America down, slowly but surely as a consequence to us!
     Every day, one violation of the Constitution at a time, we allow one to slip by on us, and they're having a ball behind our backs, laughing and spending at our expense.
     Now, Barack Obama has finally decided that it's safe to think it's irreversible now to the point that it doesn't matter anyway if we catch on to the REAL plans for us on the Left.
    I believe, they think they have taken away from this Country, anything real means that we have to stop him.
    Yesterday, I offered proven dialogue by Barack Obama as to what he has intended to do to our Country to a "known" Atheist who periodically joins the group, just to see his reaction.
    Knowing it was going to probably be an embarrassment to his "Left" agenda, he refused to read it, referring to it as "Right wing Propaganda". ( In case you haven't noticed, Obama's people, including my acquaintance, are all referring to anyone who defends the Three Sacred Documents as every loyal American should, as "Right wing Extremists".
     That should show you just how out of touch to the General population these people are.
     With the "smell of blood" and the false sense of security in their warped brains, that they have us where they want us, they are finally letting their guard down without fear of reprisal.
     It's time to start confronting them head on with questions like, "Do you believe in our Constitution as it presently exists?", and judge them by their answer.  They either do, or they don't.
Because there is no compromising the intent of Our U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights or The Declaration of Independence.
     And by the way, watch how fast they assert their rights to say as they please.  Just sayin'.
   
    

A CONVERSATION WITH "SENATOR" OBAMA, RECORDED ON "MEET THE PRESS", FROM SUNDAY'S 07/09/08 11:48 A.M EST.

     This blog is word for word as forwarded to me, originated from Dale Lindsborg, Washington Post.

     Yes, he told us in advance what he wanted to do. Few were listening.
     The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "meet The Press".
     From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008. 11:48:o4 EST.
     The then "Senator" Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Gann, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
     The General stated to Obama that according to the United States code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...During rendition of the National Anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or at the very least, "Stand and face it".
     NOW GET THIS!!;
     SENATOR Obama replied; "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides! There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.The Anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, 'The bombs bursting in air' and all that sort of thing."
     (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama continued, "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for some less parochial and less bellicose." "I like the song, 'I'd like to teach the world to sing', If that were our Anthem, then, I might salute it."
     "In my opinion, we should consider re-inventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love."
     "It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the Nations of Islam, where freedom and peace prevails---perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our Governments---"
     "When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war, or in a state of enmity and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts we as a nation, have placed upon the Nations of Islam. Which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several Flag burning ceremonies in the past".
     "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring "Change" to this Nation and offer people a new path".
     "My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's first Black Family. Indeed "CHANGE" is about to overwhelm the United States of America".

WHO"S WHO WHEN IT COMES TO THE SYRIAN REBELS?

     During World War 2, We fought the German army. Not all the German Army were Nazis. But they still would have killed us.
     It's the same with the Syrian Rebels. Not all of them are Al Qaida. But what's the difference?
     Undoubtedly they would still kill all Christians!
     As the Rebel Army advances through the Villages, they're all doing just that.
     So who are the Obama backers kidding? You, if they can!
     I hope not the American Christians. What difference would it make to the Atheists and Muslims?
     When the enemy fights our Nato soldiers, does it make a difference who the enemy kills? None!
     Today, on the Anniversary of 9/11, 2001, don't forget it!
     As Patriotic as we feel today, we have an enemy within. We are not all Patriotic Americans, sadly enough to say.
     Just listen to the hypocrite Bob Beckel. 
     May God be within the wind at our back, and God bless America!  Just sayin'.

A GHOST STORY FROM THE PAST----- TRUE, I SWEAR!

     Once upon a time, 55 years ago, My wife Darlene, our baby son Danny and I were living in a tiny town in the West Kootenays of the province of  B.C., Canada. We were in a quiet little mining and logging village of Ymir, not far from a quite larger town called Salmo, B.C.
     I had been transferred there while working with the Dept. of Highways Construction Branch, in preparation for the building of the Skyway Pass, a road between Creston and Salmo commonly referred to as the "Creston/Salmo Cut-off".
     When we moved to Ymir, there weren't a lot of places to rent, so fortunate for us, someone introduced us to a man named Byron Hoplind, who had purchased an old building that once had been the "only" hostel in the little settlement, and was in the midst of renovating the second floor of the building into 3 comfortable little apartments. (He himself, had fashioned a sort of disorganized bachelor's quarters that he stayed in on the main floor, while he going about his renovations.)
     He had just completed one of those intended three, and was proceeding with the others.
     Byron was a confirmed bachelor in his forties, quiet and proper who obviously wasn't one to be idle when he wasn't working his regular shift in a mine as a Scaler for CM&S. (Now more commonly known as "Cominco").
     The apartment he rented to us was just right for our needs, so we settled in quite comfortably. spending a lot of our time in my off hours playing cribbage well into the night.
      I must point out that the entrance to our living quarters was by way of outside stairs, such as the wooden ones you would see in the old westerns, with a small landing at the top before entering through a passage door into the wide hallway leading to the various rooms. There was a wide brick chimney that passed up through the hallway to accommodate a fireplace in the lobby of the main floor. Our apartment was directly across from that chimney.
     After spending several weeks there, and falling into our everyday routine, we were quietly playing our usual games of crib right about midnight while all was quiet and serene. When suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and hesitating at the top. Then the door into the hallway opened and closed quite distinctly, and the footsteps continued down the hall and abruptly stopped outside our door.
     Very puzzled as to who it could be, since we were the only tenants and knowing that Byron was working nightshift at the mine, I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. There was no one there!!
     I'll try to explain the instant feeling that came over me. Even though there was no one, I had the very eerie feeling someone was looking at me. With absolute astonishment, and very alarmed, I closed the door, looking back at my wife, The look must have been amusing to her, because she burst out laughing as I stared at her. When I didn't join her amusement, her look sobered and I said, "There's nobody there!!"
     In disbelief, she came to the door and slowly opened it, cautiously peeking around the door. She quickly shoved it shut. As we stood there looking at each other and gathering our composure, a calmness came over us and we began to laugh. and then in no mood for sleep, sat back down to complete our game of cribbage, although pre-occupied by the event.
     The next morning, just as we were sitting down for breakfast early, we heard the footsteps again, and the repetition of the door opening and closing. This time I jumped up, went to the door and as the footsteps stopped outside our door, I yanked the door open, just to see Bill Jackman, a fellow surveyor. Without him having a chance to knock, it scared him out of his wits!! ( I thought he was going to faint!)
     Bill's car wouldn't start, and he had come to ask for a ride to work!
     After we both gathered our composure and, again having a good laugh, I told him about the night before.
     I finished my breakfast and we both headed off to work.
     We mentioned the happening to Byron a few days later and quite calmly, he said he had heard the same thing on occasion and had no explanation for it either, except to say he did embrace the bottle once in a while and blamed it on that, up to this point. We agreed then, it was actually happening.
     While realizing it was far more curious and amusing, rather than frightening, we agreed with him we would not mention it to prospective tenants for the other two apartments.
     The incident concerning the mysterious footsteps was to be a common event in later months and we referred to it as a visitation by "Casper, the friendly ghost." What was predictable, was the fact it always happened late at night or early morning, and it was always serene. There was no schedule aside from that.
     Eventually though, the time came when Byron finished off the second apartment next to us, and prospective renters came by. Coincidentally, the people that chose to rent it were a couple Darlene had known previously from her home town of Creston, several years before. A childless couple, Bruce and Liz Herick  moved in and settled down next to us. Bruce was a Cat operator on our job.( We honored Byron's request not to mention anything about "Casper.")
     It was unavoidable however, when one day, and only after it was heard again several times, that Bruce and Liz approached us, to ask if we had heard any mysterious footsteps late at night in the hallway. We openly discussed it then at that time, knowing the "Cat was out of the bag."
     Together, we all were amused and agreed to let it be a surprise to the third tenant, whomever that may be.
     It was soon to happen.
     Helmer Johnson and his wife Sonya, approximately in their late sixties moved into the third finished apartment. Helmer was the blasting foreman on our construction project so we were all familiar with each other and that made for a comfortable relationship all around.
     Again, several weeks passed and several "happenings" with "Casper" occurred. inevitably, Helmer and his wife met us one day in the hall and in the course of conversation, asked us the question; Had we heard any strange footsteps in the Hall in the ""still of the night?"
     After allowing them to explain the phenomena, it matched the same story we all had. And again, after some lighthearted discussion and amusement about it, agreed that since it was a friendly ghost, and unconcerned about our whereabouts, We shouldn't worry about his.
     Throughout the remaining time, and until the end of the relationship, that's the way it stayed.
     However, after some research into the history of the old hotel, it was determined that a man who was known to be a frequent customer of the hotel, and a prospector commonly known as "Pete the Packer", was murdered on the second floor of that establishment many years before.
    We then started to refer to the friendly "ghost" as that more suitable moniker. Just sayin'.

    

OBAMA AND PUTIN WITH THEIR CHILDISH THINKING GAMES.

     Honestly!!! It's almost funny if it wasn't so serious to all of us in this Country.
     With Tomorrow being the Anniversary of 9/11, and the potential for something very deadly happening, they've managed to take everybody's eye off the ball once again. Syria!!
     It's reminiscent  of my childish days when in play, we conspired to trick each side while playing Cops and Robbers. The only difference is, this is with other people's lives rather than their own and ours were just for play.
     The excitement of it all on the News, the hype over what will happen if Putin wins his little game to protect his friend Assad's interest in Libya. It's all a façade, designed to confuse people who aren't really in the know. THINK ABOUT IT!!
     Right from the beginning of Obama's reign, he and Putin have been in bed together. Obama stays in contact with Putin on a continual basis, all the while with Obama acting like they have their differences.
     Russia has been supplying Syria since long before the rebellion between the Al Qaida backed Rebels and Al-Assad. Iran and Russia have been in unison all along with their support of this man.
     Iran and Russia also supply arms to our enemy, Al Qaida. Yet Al Qaida is wanting to overthrow Al-Assad as Syria's leader.
     It's a war between two enemies of the United States fighting each other for control, just to end up being enemies of the United States.
    Does it make sense that we have a Muslim-raised President who wants to back one of those factions in a war that doesn't belong to us?? Not at ALL!!??
    Don't you see it's a war between two sects that want control over each other?
    It doesn't matter who wins that conflict, they'll still hate us and our American way of life?
    And to top it all off, Obama and his Organizers have "The Muslim Brotherhood" mustered in this Country waiting to do their part for the Muslim cause, and I believe, to the point of Rebellion right here in the States when he gives the word!
     It's a battle for power between the two most powerful Muslim Sects, the Sunni's and the Shiites, and with the minority sects caught in between it all. Nevertheless, they all have one thing in common, they all hate the Christians and Jews.
     Have you not noticed the ruthless beheadings of Christians by the Rebel Army as they push their way through the Christian villages?
     Do you wonder why Obama and Putin are friendly "enemies"?
     One way or the other, they both intend to assume power over somebody when the smoke clears, if it ever does.
     The big prize is not just the U.S., folks. It's the whole world all in one basket with either Obama and Putin sharing the Grand prize.
     Obama and his friends, such as John Kerry and Hillary Clinton want to be in on it.
     We would be just plain stupid to stick our noses in the Syrian conflict.  Just sayin.
    

IT IS NO SECRET, WHAT WE CAN DO!----------- A POEM.

           IT IS NO SECRET, WHAT WE CAN DO!
                                            ----------------------------------------------------

                        It is no secret, not at all
                        Just how we can recover
                        What we have done for other folks
                        We"ll do it for each other
                                                 
                        It's not a problem we can't solve
                        When given careful thought
                        To solve the problem we have here
                        That through deceit we bought.

                        We've all been looking for a way
                        To end this scary nightmare
                        Instead of taking up the fight
                        That's looming in the dark there.

                        We've always taken up the fight
                        To save some other Country
                        And done with no reward in sight
                       We never asked for bounty

                       We once had work for us to do
                       The Billionaires got greedy
                       They dealt a mighty blow to us
                       And made ten-fold our needy
                                                
                       They gave the work to other folks
                       The ones we fought to free
                       In previous battles over there
                      On foreign land and seas
                                     
                      We only need to regulate
                      Our natural raw resources
                      And International Billionaires
                      Controlling our Armed Forces
  
                     We have to take the steps we need
                     And closely guard our border
                     From anyone who enters here
                    That wants a "New World Order"

                    Through Amnesty and not due course,
                    They learn no consequences,
                                         No loyalty to our Sacred Flag
                     And no respect for fences
