FOR MY MOTHER ELLA JEAN (BEUTEL) MCNAUGHTON - POEM.

    If ever there's a lady                            When Christmas came she just made do
    who needs a word of praise                 and songs we always sang
    I think my mother filled the bill              The Santas that she made for us
    with all her loving ways                       On the tree we'd hang.
   
    She wasn't just another Mom                She took us all to church each week
    no ordinary gal                                     Since God's her closest friend
    She mothered the McNaughton kids      She asked us all to pray for help
    and Fathered them as well                      We got it in the end.

    Eleven kids were hard to raise             She prayed that we would all survive
    Depression took it's toll                        after she left here
    She did it with a welfare check             She'd want to be as she once was
    Gosh! What a hearty soul                      The family pioneer

    She always baked a lot of bread           I know that there's a heaven, lord
    We'd watch her hungrily                       You listened to my plea
    and knowing just how I liked mine       I mean't it sure as you made earth,
    She'd burn a loaf for me.                      the land, the sky and sea.

   We saw her when she felt real bad       When you decided to take mom
   we saw her full of cheer                        It wasn't with much fuss
   At times we saw her miss a meal          You gave her ten more healthy years
   and quietly shed a tear                           and took ten years from us

                                                                 And when her day did come to pass
                                                                 A promise you did keep
                                                                 She told me that she prayed to you
                                                                 To take her in her sleep.

                                                                        Son George

A ROYAL WEDDING ON MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY. They would be proud..

Prince William and Kate would feel honored if they knew they were married on my mother's birthday!
    Something to be noted to all of the Beutel and McNaughton descendants.
    She was born Ella Jean Beutel on April 29th, 1900 in Jackson, Minnesota. She married our Dad, John Duncan McNaughton after her high school graduation in 1918 in Eureka, Montana. In the chronic absence of our father, she went on to raise 11 children by herself  before, during and after the Great depression first in Eureka and then Fernie, B.C. Canada.
    As a point of interest, the Royal Family is of german heritage along with a number of other countrie,s Royal Families. Their blood relationships go back many generations.
    Also interesting is the fact that Adolph Hitler and Ava Braun were also married on April, 29th.
    Ella Jean passed away just short of being 100 years old.
    I'll be publishing a blog poem in her memory.

THE REASON I BLOG.

    The reason I blog is simple. I  like to express my opinion on various subjects. Upon deciding to say something of mutual interest to my readers as well as myself, I do a certain amount of research to be reasonably sure that what I'm expressing is correct to the best of my knowledge.
    I say this because in my following of events, particularly political, there are a lot of  misleading or mistruth statements made. In fact so many that I have lost faith in the honor system. "Trust me" is so often misused that it doesn't really mean much anymore. The reason I use "Just let me say this" as a lead for my blogs is to allow me to put the emphasis on how much it is used by politicians to evade answering a question that requires a simple "Yes" or "No".
   One of my blogs is about that very thing. It seems to be a system that a career politician develops over a period of time, along with a manner of talking that gives a "professional tone" to his or her voice. The good old every day street talk that you and I understand is slowly but surely set aside in the
course of their career. It's a "cover your assets" way of saying something you really don't mean but will satisfy the situation for now. I refer to it as "Old Fart" talk. It's almost as though they've forgotten the true purpose we voted them in for. Realizing this has prompted me to consider myself a consevative Independent.
    It's done on both sides of the fence but extremely more so with the Socialists. In fact it is rampant
there. So much so that they seem to think it's okay to do it quite openly without fear of it costing them votes.
    I find it excitingly refreshing to listen to the newcomer representatives talk because they still communicate in a way we understand out on the street, in the office or in the local group discussions
    that take place wherever that may be. That's when we're understanding each other best.
    In a course in letter writing, I was taught to always keep the document as simple as possible and in a way that anyone reading it would understand. That's the way I write today.
    The folks on the street including the Tea party people and myself want to know what the heck is going on!! We are'nt all Doctors, Lawyers,Teachers or Community Organizers. We are the common people with every bit of common sense and brain activity as they have. Our votes are as good as theirs
and we expressed it in the last election. They're talking in a fashion designed to confuse us.
    Let's not let them convince us otherwise or discourage us from believing in the traditions that made this country great. That includes telling the truth, honoring our God given principles and electing someone to represent us that speaks our language.
    Barack Hussein Obama is speaking in the Common man's language. He's catching the ear of the students and the already misled left. He's a great public speaker. He reads the teleprompters very well.
    But the so-called facts and figures he gives are not the truth. They 're written by speech writers who have a Socialist agenda and would like you to believe there's a better wy                                              
    It's not on the golf course, it's not on the basketball court, it's not in his very expensive trips overseas and it's sure as hell not by expressing to the rest of the world that we are'nt right in being the free-est and most powerful country in the world bar none. Just sayin'.

"STREET SMART" #4 Cont'd.

                                            email me     macgeo1234@hotmail.com
                                       read my blogs    http:/macgeo1234.blogspot.com.
In mid-summer, 2007, Allan suffered a severe crippling stroke. Once again I was called to The Providence Hospital in Everett where he was being treated. The doctors announced there would be no operation for him.
    He was totally disabled on the left side but was told with therapy it could improve. It was the final blow that would start Allan on the downhill slide to eventual death. He finally agreed to come home after a futile, stubborn attempt to still make it on his own. Bless his heart for trying! H finally asked to come home.
    We brought him home to Mt. Vernon and he lived with us reluctantly because he couldn't smoke in the house. There was, however,a covered porch where he could sit comfortably to smoke at leisure. He still received his Social Security check and we required nothing for him to live with us. I was helpless to do anything and he along with us, sadly had to watch his condition deteriorate, and it got worse every week.
    Soon he was losing control of his bowels and with me having to work, My wife certainly could not
    be expected to tend to him in that sense. He wasn't coherent at times and I knew his tumor was getting worse. When I tried to convince him he needed to come with me to the hospital, he threatened to stab me so at that point I called 911. The police understood what the situation was and had to physically force him into the car and escort him to the hospital. Because he didn't want to leave the security of our home, in desperation he hollered at me on the way out the door, "Are you going to tell them about the guy you murdered up in Canada?" In disbelief, I gaped at the police and, after glancing at each other, started laughing and told me they understood.
    I went along to the hospital and after a quick MRI he was transported to Harborview diagnosed with severe bleeding and swelling in his tumor. The treatment was immediately started with steroids to reduce the swelling and stop the bleeding. They accomplished that and after several days brought his condition back to, if you will, normal. Allan and I had a good laugh over what he said going out the door with the police. He didn't remember saying it.
    The decision was definitely made at that point that Allan would be going to a nursing home. Reluctantly, he agreed and was transported to the Burton Care Center in nearby Burlington, where he received excellent care.
    I was able to visit him every day and bring him things he needed. Once again I was emotional on the way home, needless to say. It's just not supposed to work out that way!
    On my visits to see him, I always left with him knowing that I loved him. In return he always told me not to worry about him but to care for myself. In his last days, he said that often.
    Allan's condition surprisingly improved with increased  medication and once again surprised the medical profession. He was there approx. a year and a half  longer than expected.
     I was able to hold his hand and say the Lords prayer before he finally succumbed on Feb. 10th,
2009. A strange thing happened at that point. I was seeing a little boy five years old. He looked at me and asked, "Dad, what happened?" I explained to him he had a brain tumor. He turned his head away and closed his eyes. He was finally at peace and a few hours later went with God to join his older brother Dan, whom I'm sure was waiting to help him through. he now rests with his brother in spirit in Cranbrook, B.C.    R.I.P. you two! I'll never quit loving you!  Their mother has since joined them.  Just sayin'.

"STREET SMART" #3 CONT'D

    After Allan's miraculous recovery, he decided to move back to Canada to be near his siblings.
I need to say in Allan's defense at this point, that Canada was still in the midst of their recession that they had been in for twenty years. In fact they were in it for so long, a whole generation of Canadians grew up in it and sufficient, decent jobs were virtually non-existent. Although Canada's dollar is above our's right now, it was below the U.S. dollar for 25 years or more!
    Allan eventually did find work in a very intensive ocupation and dangerous as well. He, along with a couple of other acquaintances went to work in the Alberta oil fields as roughnecks and managed to survive for several years before that work also slowed down. During that time, Allan became a man.
    But after being used to good pay, it was hard to accept dishwashing type jobs and Allan started having brushes with the law. Everything went downhill after spending a considerable amount of time in jail and being alienated from his friends, Allan only became more despondent to the point where he needed help to get out of his mess. No one realized it at the time, but Allan's mental condition was deteriorating due to his brain injury 21 years prior. He was having silent epaleptic seizures from a tumor that we later determined was started by the injury when he was 17 years old. In desperation, he had no place to go and resorted to living by himself off in the woods in a shack with no electricity.
       Finally, in 1996, his sister Alana got word of the way he was living, and after talking to him, called me in Everett, Washington. After hearing about it, I brought him here with me where I put him to work in my mobile home business. We legally got him his Social Security card and he lived with me.
    Approximately a year later, Allan began to point out his nervous vibrations that were coming and going with more frequency. It was all a part of the brain tumor increasing but no connection to it had yet been made. I finally convinced him to see a neurologist.
   It was confirmed that Allan had a brain tumor 2"X4" growing on the right side of his brain. It was estimated to have been there for a very long time. After telling the surgeon about Allan's motorcycle
accident, he was sure it started way back then.
   An operation was scheduled immediately and a good portion was removed, but we were advised it would grow back over time. There was no option of a second operation.
   Allan took the news very calmly,but I didn't. After being told he had only a few years at the most to
live, I broke down. Allan sat with me and putting his arm around me said,  " I'm not afraid, Dad, You don't be either. It's just a little spooky, that's all." I cried anyway.
   After that, Allan decided to leave our home in Mt. Vernon where we had moved a year before.
   With the strength of my Social security and Allan qualifying for medicaid, we managed to get him a social security check that he could live off of while away from home. He had a place to stay with some friends and could still do some work with them once in a while.
   However, his friends moved away a short time later and Allan, being too proud to move home because I had gotten remarried, insisted he could get by. In order for Allan to get his Social Security check he had to permit it being mailed to him at my address, and I would deliver his money to him every month. I always told him he could come back home, but he insisted he was doing fine and wanted to be among his other homeless friends, whom he always issued money to as soon as he thought I couldn't see.  After three or four days, it was gone, when it could have lasted a lot longer, but that wasn't Allan. He believed in sharing, and made sure every Sunday, he found a church of one kind or another to attend. It didn't matter to him what denomination it was, as long as he could be there to sing along with the choir, who, appreciated his nice voice and always complimented him on it.
  They always allowed him to find shelter in times of bad weather, as well. He was never turned away.
   He never lost his faith in God because of this. He felt as I do today, that religion didn't matter, but God did!! His feelings were, again as mine are, that God could never be that narrow minded that he would favor one believer over another, as long as we all believed in him.
   Allan's goodwill made him a target by the many dishonest, homeless people who exist out there. Many of whom have no conscience for what they do to survive.
   He would often create his own shelter to live  in temporarily, and then invite other street people in out of the cold to spend the night. They in turn, before leaving, would sometimes steal some of his stuff, including sleeping bags etc. Several times he was robbed at knife point for his money, I.D. and other miscellaneous valuables, such as a watch I had replaced for him several times. Even clothing he needed to stay warm when it did get cold.
    I would then help him re-apply for the documents that had been stolen, since I had his immigration info at home with me, and other papers that allowed him to renew the stolen stuff.

"STREET SMART" CONT'D

    Early in 1976 , It was confirmed that I was an American from the day I was born, and I didn't waste any time taking advantage of the fact. Most of my older siblings were born in the U.S. and I had always yearned to be near them.
    On may 24th,1976, I moved to Seattle, Wa. and Allan, having been born of me  as an american parent, came along with me. My other children choose to remain in Canada and live their lives in the vicinity of their mother in Cranbrook, B.C.
    Allan turned 17 that year, and although through with school, was enjoying just hanging out with the neighbor kids next door. I was remarried by this time and had settled in to being a Warehouseman / Truckdriver in the Teamster's Union, Local #174.
    Their mother had lost her husband in an industrial accident and after receiving a considerable settlement, decided to buy her sons an offroad motorcycle.
    At dinner that evening Allan was excited to tell me about it. I was flabbergasted, considering they had never been on one before, including Allan. In fact, I had never been on one before because, although I had many opportunities in the past, never cared to. My first reaction was to ask him not to ride it, at least not until he got some lessons on safety.
    He promised me he wouldn't. But he did!
    At noon the next day while having lunch at work, I received a call from the boys' mother. Allan had been injured while trying out the motorcycle and I needed to call the hospital immediately. I did and was told to come in and talk to the doctors tending to him.
    I was met by the hospital's lead surgeon and led into see him. I was shocked when  I saw him laying there in a state of convulsions. He had smashed his forehead into a concrete ledge and his left eye popped out of it's socket. Part of his brain was exposed and detached from the front of his skull. I  went into a mild state of shock. The doctor gently calmed me down and after a mild sedative, assured me he was going to make my son better. I found it terribly difficult to think he would survive this one, but he did, once again.
    After six hours of intensive surgery, a team of 5 doctors, each specialists in their own field, managed to put Allan back together again. Allan survived and even gained the sight back in his eye. Another modern miracle performed on my son!
    One year later Allan was raring to go back to Canada where he wished to be near his siblings again.
   But his saga didn't end there. One of his problems was his impatience to go through the steps it takes to become a success. Time after time he attempted to get from A to Z without observing .the rest of the alphabet. The line of least resistance. It doesn't work!! It seldom ever does.



"STREET SMART" AND WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?

    I recently read where an acquaintance wrote that, he was not only "Book smart", but also "Street smart". Not knowing his background very well, I'll certainly give him the benefit of the doubt but it started me thinking, what really is street smart? This is because I had a late son whom I considered to be "Street smart", since he lived on the streets by choice for the last 12 years of his life.
    I'll give a short rundown of his life before he did that.
    My son was born Allan Dale McNaughton in Calgary, Alberta Canada, on Aug. 11th, 1959. He was a baby that cried a lot as though something was hurting him, but we were'nt able to determine what it was. Doctors could'nt either. The cause was never found, but it was obvious there was pain.
    At the age of 6 months, he became deathly ill with double bronchial pneumonia and, as he was receiving treatment in the Creston, B.C. hospital, contracted staff of the lungs as well. He went into a coma and we were told by the doctor there was little hope for his survival. However, I was approached by the doctor shortly after that announcement, at which time he explained to me there was a new drug developed that was successful, but had not been used on infants under the age of 8 years. We felt there was nothing to lose under the circumstances, and  agreed to it's use.
    The next day as I was sitting by his bedside, when he  awoke, looked over at me and gave me the smile of my lifetime. It was as if to say," I'm gonna make it, Dad"! I hollered excitedly to the nurse walking by, and soon the whole floor was cheering. It was one of the happiest days of my life!.
    He was soon better and Allan went on to live a normal life as a child. The painful crying was gone.
    After 5 tumultuous  years we had amassed together 4 children, Daniel Francis, the eldest, Allan, Leslie Kim and Alana. My wife and I separated at this point with her having custody of the children.
    After 4 years of being away, I returned to eventually get divorced, and received full custody of my children.
    At this point in time, we moved to live in Fernie B.C. Canada. The kids all did fine in school with the exception of Allan who had a difficult time getting along with some of the teachers and other students. Allan made it to grade 10 and decided to strike out on his own. Although he thought he was ready for the world, it seems the world wasn't ready for Allan. His problem of getting along with others remained with him throughout the years. He yearned for friends but couldn't make the friendships last. and his life was continually sad.Allan's ability to make friends and keep them was difficult. I realized this, and made it a point to favor him in family affairs, at times. I loved him then, and still love him as if he were still here with me. Throughout his life, he reached out to his siblings and myself occasionally, sometimes for love, sometimes for understanding and sometimes just to be recognized that he was still part of the "pecking order" in the family.

THE LIBERAL LEANINGS OF SHEPHERD SMITH @ FOX NEWS.

    In bringing to light  some of the "becoming more obvious" liberal leanings of some of the Fox News
commentators, it's becoming more obvious to me that Shepherd Smith is doing a lot more promoting on behalf of President Obama's Views. Today  he was interviewing Stephen Sigmund and together they were suggesting that even though the economy is definitely getting better, what could Obama do to convince the the voters it is really so? Together they were trying to dream up a way he could accomplish that task. Who are we trying to kid here?  Shepherd! WHERE IS IT BETTER?
    I know that some time ago, Smith declared openly to a magazine that he was Gay. Somehow, with that pretty-boy face it doesn't surprise me, but until then I thought he was a part of the conservative crew with basic, Christian moral values. I'm thinking differently now.
    What are his values? Approximately a month back he had Peter Johnson and a female conservative blogger on his show to discuss the airport security groping of male passengers. The female blogger was clearly against the method used and felt it was too extreme. To my surprise and the embarrassment of the conservative guest, Peter Johnson declared he looks forward to being groped that way and Shepherd Smith agreed whole heartedly! I was shocked by their declaration and I'm sure the female guest was too. In fact when she protested the comment, Peter Johnson started overtalking her every word until she finally gave up in disgust. Until now that tactic has been frowned upon by Fox News.. Shepherd Smith did nothing to stop this Socialist tactic that is so commonly used by the Liberals. Shepherd did nothing to alleviate the humiliation to the lady.
    Do we once again have wolves in sheep's clothing here?
    Is Fox News changing their moral requirements that we've come to enjoy as Christians?
    As good as Shepherd Smith is at delivering the news, is he joining the ranks of the wanna be Geraldo Rivera? Has Peter Johnson already done it? Just askin'. I hope that no honest, straight conservatives are being fooled by these Girley guys. I mean, gosh!!! What is Fox intending to do here?

BLESS THE FOLKS AT THE SKAGIT RADIOLOGY CENTER!

    Three months ago I received the dreaded word that no man ever wants to hear. After testing was completed, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer! After reflecting back I knew the warning signs were there for some time prior, possibly a couple of years. It's one of those things, you know, Aww, maybe they are temporary and will eventually go away.
    They didn't! So after arranging a long delayed decision to check it out, I made an appointment with my family doctor. He referred me to a Urologist and it was confirmed I had it by way of biopsy testing.
    I really wasn't surprised and not frightened by it. Being 74 years old I'm not expecting to live forever
anyway.
    It wasn't until radiology treatment was scheduled did I realize there were many others with the same problem. Some worse than me. The waiting room was a comfortable setting with people from all walks of life and different kinds of cancer. It was a sort of meeting of the minds. A very relaxed and, pleasant if you will, place for all of us to discuss our various problems. No one dwelled on it though. The problems of the world are discussed, the different positions in life are brought up for those who wished to participate and those who wanted to be wiser and remain silent did so.
    With all of that, I managed to get in my two cents worth. Imagine that!
    I must say they were enjoyable therapy sessions for me. A thought entered my mind that if all of us
could get along and accept the consequences that lay ahead for us, Why in the hell couldn't the rest of the world?
    You've heard the expression, "It's all about money". Well, in this gathering room that was the last thing on anyone's mind. We suddenly became equal in that room. There were times when I was pulled away for treatment that I wished I could stay for just a few more minutes.
    Eveyone seemed comfortable with everybody else.
    The people administering the treatment were without exception, pleasant and caring. You couldn't ask
for more gracious people and they make it a point to remember our idle talk from the treatment before.
About personal events, family things and much more. I take my hat off to them for making that a priority.
After all, they have this job to do five days a  week and more.
    Last but not least, the Doctors and Support staff. They were patient and always wanted to know if anything needed to be addressed concerning our treatments.
I commend the Supervisory staff who very obviously had to be careful in the choosing of the workers
for this particular and very special kind of work. I enjoyed every treatment and can't express enough gratitude to all who took part in my treatment.
    Thank you and God bless.

    George McNaughton.

HIDDEN SOCIALIST AGENDA (cont'd)

    What does this lead to? It takes a God fearing person who normally would resist temptation  to the next step leading to immorality.They now have doubt there is a God consequence and have nothing to fear in the way of punishment in the hereafter.They follow the line of least resistance and, as I pointed out in another blog, is the wrong direction 99% of the time.
    It leads to inappropriate sex, homosexuality, drugs, theft of another man's property and ultimately murder in order to satisfy their wants.
    I can't believe that a God fearing person can find solace in voting for the Democratic party as it is today. Especially when they're using the word "God" for the sake of asking you to vote for them. This is the same candidate that would vote to eliminate God from the Pledge of Allegiance, the Ten Commandments from the steps of The Hall of Justice and the elimination of prayer from our schools.
    They are attempting to destroy the very things that were the foudation this country was established on.
    Through blood sweat and tears we grew to be the greatest country on earth, bar none.
    Just to think that these same politicians would support taking moral guidance away from our children
is a very scary and disturbing thought. Guess what? It is already happening under our vey noses and we have yet to do something about it.
    The teachers and professors in our schools and colleges have been slowly doing it for years. I'm sure the smarter ones realize this is happening, but for fear of their own jobs, are not speaking out.
    This agenda erases the hope there is a Supreme Being when someone is dying really needs to believe
they have earned the possibility of going somewhere better.
    It takes away the hope a parent has that God could assist their sick child.
    It takes away the dream that by praying to God you will achieve a better life.
    It takes away the comfort a person may have that they may someday see their lost loved ones who have preceded them in death.
    Most repulsive of all, It takes away the satisfaction that wrongdoers who escaped punishment here on earth will get their come uppance on the other side. Some people say vengeance belongs to God. I guess so, but satisfaction of knowing it's going to happen belongs to us. I wouldn't want to lose that hope.
Just sayin'.

EXPOSURE OF THE HIDDEN SOCIALIST AGENDA / DEMOCRATS

    In light of what happened in the Federal and local politics in the 2008 elections, I wonder when enough voters besides me will recognize the true agenda of the Democratic Party.
    These very influential people do not have the good wishes of the majority of the voters. They have misled and deceived them into following their true purpose on their Marxist minds. Why do I say this?
For several reasons: Most  "true" Socialists do not believe in a Supreme Being or Hereafter. I want to make it clear I'm not referring to the misled, dedicated Democratic voter. I'm talking about the people in authority in the Party who have slowly graduated from a true Party agenda like the days of  Truman to the Party that exists today.
    They have travelled from truth to deception. They cleverly concealed their true intentions while campaigning for office.
    The voters who do believe in God and a Hereafter and vote for a Democratic candidate could very well be voting for a politician who, once in power, could and would take away their freedom of religion in the future.
    Clearly, God is no longer first and foremost in their minds. But they need your votes to win an election.  The voter is not clearly recognizing the intention of the the candidate's long term Marxist goals. Once they achieve control, It's very difficult to take it away because of the judges they they have placed in strategic levels of the Justice system who believe in their political agenda.
    Democracy is the farthest thing from their thoughts anymore.
    Socialism is the introduction to Marxism.
    So why are these two-bit politicians hiding behind the skirts of Democracy? Because they wouldn't stand a chance of surviving in this freedom loving country otherwise.
    If I heard it right, 95% of americans believe in God. 70% of those believe in Christ.
    I've come to realize that whenever I'm talking to a pseudo Democrat they defend Socialism rather
than Democracy.
    Their kind of Socialism is the first step away from God. They're careful not to make a total denunciation but seeds of  doubt are intending to be planted. Enough so, that the temptations of wrongdoing can be somewhat comforted.  (cont'd)

THANK GOODNESS FOR DONALD TRUMP- CONT"D.

    The problem right now with the "Majority" party,( I will call them that right now since I feel its more appropriate), is because of the continued diversity within. Everybody in the world knows who's taking exception to who. The Beltway boys, Krauthammer, Hume, Rove and several other insiders are fearing their esteems are going to diminish somewhat if they are edged aside by the up and coming, diverse, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Michelle Bachman and the other recent winners of the last election.
    Lets face it folks, The latter group of people are the newcomers on the block and will be around for the rest of MY life at least.
    The first group needs to re-assess itself and get aboard or they're only going to spoil it for what I see as the last chance we have to turn back the George Soros- Barack Obama Socialist, Marxist train. If you think the policies they've already set in place are extreme, "you ain't seen nothin' yet."
    We need to keep pointing out their false projection figures, their blatant lies and their insincerity in everything they say or do.
     As wise as the "Good ol' Boys" really and truly are, they're not going to prove anything by purpoefully ganging up on Bill O'Reiily simply because they don't like the esposure he's giving to the Newcomers.
    I think they feel they have nothing to lose, since they're all independently wealthy and will be comfortable in their tax loophole dens for the rest of their lives no matter what happens!
    Throwing someone else under the bus won't hurt them like it will hurt the less wealthy Newcomers.
    The Consevative, normal thinking Tea Partiers sadly know what there is to lose, they've already lost it. An empty wallet wakes a lot of people up, including me.
    Honesty and sincerity does not count with the Socialists. That's why they're so comfortable with the
Islamic philosophy. They think it's okay to lie if it suits their God's  purpose. Their God is George Soros.
    It's beyond me how they buffalo the innocent, church going Christians who really haven't caught  on to them yet and still vote for them anyway.
    It really burns me when I hear a Socialist Congressman say, "The President is supposed to lead the Senate and the Congress, but they're not listening to him."
    HE HAS NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE TO LEAD ANYBODY! Good God, he'd get lost if there were 3 trees in his back yard! He gets totally lost when one of his speech teleprompters falls down.
   He's a master at public speaking and Community organizing. Nothing else that comes close to running Gov't.
   The Congress and the Senate need to guide him. Not the other way around. Just sayin'.

REPUBLICAN "GOOD OL BOYS" VS. NEWCOMERS FROM TEA PARTY

    It's only now really coming to light concerning the differences between the "Good old Boys" from the Washington Beltway and the newcomers from the Tea Party.
    With a great deal of respect for Krauthammer, Brit Hume and Karl Rove, I have to disagree with them regarding the recent entrance into the Conservative arena by the newcomer Tea Party.
    They probably don't want to admit it, but it's a change to the Republican way of doing things in the past that doesn't work anymore. The "Good old Boys" aren't prepared to lose their grip on the "Washington Insider" system.
    What I mean to say is,it's an entirely new concept of modern politics with the Tea Party people being
   smarter and more informed than the average "Like father Like Son" Independent voter of the past.
   The way I look at it is, It's a new era coming on and we'd be smart to jump aboard now rather than later when the Socialist Democrats take control again because of our stubborn, divided ways.
    The old "script" talking, old fart ways of John Boehner are fast becoming a boring thing of the past.
Don't get me wrong, here! Three more wiser men don't exist in the Conservative community, but from what I've observed in their co-ordinated objections and corrections they have been taking with Bill O'Reilly lately regarding the front runner representatives of the up and coming Tea party are an indication that they are willing to throw the next election under the bus if it doesn't happen their way.
    Party consolidation is too important right now for them to behave that way.They're better off  keeping positive about the allies they have and welcome the new party with open arms. Otherwise a split will
only be a sure vote for the Obama thugs.
    At least Bill O'Reilly is open to changing his mind if he turns out to be wrong. He, along with a few other warriors such as Limbaugh, Beck,Hannity and Susterin are doing their job.
    My thoughts to Krauthammer, Hume and Rove are, If you can't say something nice about your ally counterparts, don't say anything at all!
    As it is right now, you've got the Obama regime clapping and laughing in your faces. Just sayin'.
  

THE SPEECH OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZER-OBAMA- April 13th/2011

    In trying to decypher Obama's speech to the Nation regarding his plan for America, it became apparent to me what he really has in mind. The taking down of Corporate America as we know it today.
    To his twisted, Socialist way of thinking, he feels that the Gov't is the lender and the private sector should be obligated to paying it back for anything the Gov't spends.
    His Marxist way of thinking drives him to believe everything should really belong to the State or Federal Gov't and what monies they collect no longer belongs to the people, but to the Socialist controlled cause.
    In his speech he openly remarks that by increasing tax on the "Rich", the money is a means of  giving something back.
    I wasn't dreaming when I heard him say that. Were you?
    So maybe we should straighten the Socialists out on this one. THE MONEY WAS NEVER BORROWED FROM THE GOV'T IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
    This guy has just given the Socialist Party's hidden agenda away "lock, stock and barrel" and doesn't even realize he did it!
    So in other words, he thinks the more he spends is okay because the private sector is obligated to pay it back.
    Wouldn't it be more reasonable to think of the Gov't as the Borrower and the private sector as the Lender?
    Where were we when all of this changed? We're being hornswoggled by this guy and his Cronies and what's worse, the people that vote for him and his party only vote for them because their parents and grandparents did. Not bccause of what he really has in mind. Barack Obama's intentions along with the Socialist party are totally selfserving and not in the interest of the private, freedom loving american.
    The "Community Organizers" are hoping for total control and the only way to do it is to seize it by deceptive means.
    The tail wants to wag the dog. Just sayin'.

YOU CAN"T BE A "KNOW IT ALL" TIL YOU LEARN SOMETHING FIRST!!

    That ended the argument, but I won the fight. However it also got me back into night courses too. I know now that he had something there, but it took me awhile. That poor guy was right! Trouble is, I've never seen him again.
    We were both hockey players though, so I'm sure he understood. I've learned a lot since then and the more I learn, the more I keep my hands in my pockets and my mouth shut. I don't think I'll ever be an introvert, though.  Just sayin'.
    Have you noticed the quietest person in a group conversation is usually the wisest person once he or she takes their turn to put their 2 cents worth in? So often that happens. I once heard another group member say, "Now that we've finally found someone who knows what they're talking about, we better just shut up and listen".
    We are never too old to learn when it comes to some things. Listening is one of them.
    At one time some years ago, I was involved in giving a short course in communications to a group of workers and supervisors. One supervisor was notorious for stuttering and since we talked a lot back and forth on our truck radios, he always kept his responses short and to the point.
    During this course we would speak a passage from a mine safety regulations book that we knew couldn't be remembered very easily if we asked them later to write it down. Later they were requested to write it the way it was spoken to them.
    After the exams were collected and corrections made, we discovered that the man with the speaking impairment got 100% word for word. The other 19 students got an average of 32%.
    What did that tell us? Well, because of his impairment, he trained himself  to get things right the first time in order that he wouldn't have to embarrass himself by asking questions later.
    It certainly taught me to listen a lot more intently as well.
    Have you ever been sitting in on a lecture and let your mind wander off a little bit? And when the instructor spots that, he pauses, stares at you and asks you to repeat what he just said? That'll make you listen for the remainder of the lecture, anyway!

THE TEA PARTY AND WHO THEY REPRESENT!

        In a previous blog I briefly mentioned the Tea Party and the way they have been ignored by the Socialist/Democratic Party. I described what they were made up of and why they are protesting to the Obama Administration.
     I guess the best way to describe the reasons they feel like they do is to imagine ourselves in their shoes. Imagine being employed by a company for 20 years or so and having a retirement program you can collect on in the near future when all of a sudden the whole economy slips into a recession. You think you have your retirement pension to fall back on in case you lose your job.
   You have a house you and your wife purchased on an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) seven years ago.
    The payments started at an affordable amount of $1800.00 per month. You were assured by your Realtor along with the Lender that your loan amount is backed by FannyMae incase the bank takes a wrong turn and gets in trouble finacially. You have taken your life savings of  $20,000.00 and placed it down on the purchase in order that your payment is able to be lowered to the arranged payment.
    It's quietly pointed out to you that because of the lower interest rate, your payment will be increased after the first 2 years to a slightly higher amount. After that it will increase every year for three years at which time it becomes a fixed rate and the payment will stay the same to the end of the thirty year contract.
    Because of a recession looming in front of you and you really didn't get much for raises, the money situation gets worse and your payment is now at $2500.00 per month.
    Your wife suddenly gets laid off after 9 years on the job and receives unemployment. Your finances are now upside down.Then due to a deeper recession, you also get laid off. You both go to your 401k's only to find that your 401k's have lost their value by 50% .
    Ultimately you're in a financial fix with no way out. The banks are in trouble because they can't meet their obligations either. The bills keep coming in and you realize you can't meet those obligations either.
     You look around you and find that many of your neighbors are in the same boat. You have questions for the Representatives in Congress. The phones are ringing off the hook at your representative's office but he or she is not answering you particular call because there isn't enough time in the day.
    Obama tells them to start holding Town house meetings. You know, one of those "monkey see monkey do" things. They try to B.S. their way through but you're too smart a group of people to absorb that much malarkey and you call their bluff. They call off the meetings and later explain to the Main Media the people need a lesson in manners and just don't understand and should shut up.
   Thus the beginning of the Tea party. Can you believe it?   Just sayin',

 

THE REAL WORLD WAS OUT THERE WAITING

    Having lived a lifetime of always wanting a little more of what life had to offer rather than being satisfied with the full plate that was in front of me, I now feel, being in the late evening of my years and reflecting back, I have something to offer on the following subject: Determining at which point in my life I really did grow up.
    At the age of 17, I thought I was there. At 19 when I met a girl and got married, I again thought I was there. At 26 and going through a divorce, I felt for sure I was done growing up. Only after going to work as an underground miner in Butte, Montana and encoutering the hazards and truly hard work that was required to make it in that kind of occupation, did I finally become a qualifying adult. 
    I looked back at those other times and I smiled to myself. I had achieved growing up. I had faced some of the perils of life that some people never do or will and I am here to tell about it. Some of my friends I grew up with who ventured out and took their chances didn't make it. I think of them often and realize how fortunate I am. With the help of my brother John who was 14 years older than me, I finally grew up in Butte, Montana.

STAE ATTORNEY GENERAL VS FEDERAL ATTORNEY GENERAL P. 21

    I like to think that I'm logical and fair to myself  when I assess the rights and wrongs of our present political system, both Federal and State.
    Believe me, I'm no expert at either one so as I learn about both, I have to depend on what's logical to me.
    I have already mentioned in a previous blog concerning the behavior and affairs of the Att. General of Washington State. In that article, I questioned the actions  and role of  the office because it seems to me that, since the Att. General is elected by each and every voter, he or she should operate at the pleasure of  the people rather than the State's Governor. This I assume, would be in accordance with  a free Society's system of checks and balances. it only makes sense that  should an action by the Governor
be contradictory to the Constitution, the Att. General can point out the violation.
    This can only be done if the office is totally Independent of the States affairs. There's just too much political " bedfellowing" otherwise. I can't be so naive in my thinking to not know it takes place because it does, particularly with the Socialists who happen to be in positions of power these days.
    They have already demonstrated the abuse of power in recent days, both Federal and State.
    Have you noticed the similarities between the Muslims' Shariah law and the behavior of the Socialists? If you haven't, I'll point some out.
    In Shariah law it's okay with Mohammed to lie if it's in his interests. It's also okay to deceive in order to satisfy Mohammed. It's alright to condemn and sentence if it's within his beliefs.
    I personally believe the Socialists are intending to operate in that order if they can get away with it.
    They have made their intentions enormously apparent in the last 2 years and what's more, they flagrantly don't care if we know it!
    That, my friends, is the beginning of their transparency without them wanting it to be. their true motive is not a secret anymore.
    I'll come to my last point.
    What I consider to be the weakness in our Federal system is that the Attorney General's position is not elected. It's appointed by the President in power, meaning he operates at the pleasure of the President and not the people. It also means that he or she can ignore the constitutional values of the Country should the President desire and unless challenged by the Congress, get away with it. If the congress happens to be of the same political belief as he or she and it's to their political advantage to ignore it, they can and do. Just Sayin'.

THE WA. MU. RIP-OFF OF THE HOMEBUYERS

    In 1997 I purchased a D/W mobile home through Wa. Mutual. It was a fixed rate agreement over 20 years. I had a payment that stayed the same,  as it should have since it was after all, a fixed rate agreement.
    In 2005 I heard rumors that Wa. Mut. was having problems with irregularities in the way they were doing business. I felt quite comfortable since I didn't think it would affect a small fish in a big ocean. However, sometime shortly thereafter, 2006,  I  received a notification that my contract had been sold to GreenTree and I would be receiving further communication from them. It was another indication to me that they were having problems because usually it's one of the first things that banks have a tendency to do when the money gets tight. In cases like that, the banks that aren't having difficulties become predatorial and make offers on whatever is presented to them by the troubled mortgage holder. After being informed on the balance left owing, the mortgage buyer pays anywhere from 25 to 35 cents on the dollars owing.
    Since the original lender has already made approx. 30% in total dollars over the amount credited to the mortgage principal that has been subtracted from the original principal, they are ahead of the game anyway. The money they receive for the 35 % sale is also added to the their profit. After every thing is considered, their  past expenses on the account included, they are ahead of the game.
    The contract buye stands to make a profit on the rest of the contract which leaves them to collect payments on a much smaller investment than the principle I still have left to pay on.
    When I received my payment notification from GreeTree, The payment amount was increased by $25.00 per month. Since my  arrangement was for a fixed rate contract, I enquired with GreenTree to find that Wa. Mut. showed I had received $3700.00 as a Corp. advance in the year 2000. They also showed I had received another $2000.00 in the year 2005.
    I had never received either of those moneys ever!
    It seems that Wa. Mut. inflated my principle that amount when they sold the contract to GreenTree.
    After objecting vigorously to G.T. they ended up leaving my payment the same.
    I sat back to enjoy the rest of the ride until I was notified by the I.R.S. that I owed them taxes on that money and to pay up! I told them my story for what it's worth  and that seems to be placed in limbo.
    As it stands today, I think I know what's going to happen should I live long enough to finish my contract. GreenTree will refuse to deduct the extra $5700.00. In fact they probably won't release my title either if I don't pay it.
    Washington Mutual is impossible to reach because of their bancrupcy and fraud situation.
    GreenTree refuses to discuss it with me as well.
    Any sugestions:?  Just sayin'.

A LIAR VERSUS ..B.S'ER WHAT"S THE DIFFERENCE??

   I think there's a big difference!
   I've met them all. The 1st difference is the sincerity of it all. E.G.: Over the last 3 years or so, I've casually met up with people who come and go at a Starbucks near where I live. They are folks from different walks of life who are semi-retired or perhaps have slowed down enough in their life to smell the roses. Whatever the case, They all have stories to tell about different events in their lives and with as much as 8 or 10 of us, we'll probably never exhaust the supply of tales from the past. I, I hope like the rest, have more than my share and they patiently lend me an ear.
   They're all good listeners and seldom interupt or overtalk another while he or she is speaking. We do sometimes, but it's most often in gest. (After all, we can't let it get boring.)
   I enjoy being amongst the bunch for that reason but also because, being from different walks of life and having been experts in their field, they know what they're talking about.
   Accurate with their stories or not, there's no doubt a little B.S.'ing goes on. It's simply the human urge within us all. I'm perfectly happy with that and I'm no exception.
   It's almost always done in a way to draw a laugh and no one gets hurt as a result. To me that's B.S.'ing.
   A lie is an offensive act that could cause someone to be sincerely misled and affects another being or group of beings. It can be physically or monetarily damaging. Which really brings me to my main point.
   Have you been listening to whats going on in our country lately? Should we really ignore the lies we're being told by the media and the politicians if in the future it's going to affect the direction of this nation? I don't feel it would be wise.
   Should'nt the person we're relying on to give us the facts be held to the greatest degree of sincerity?
   Not only for part of the facts, but all of them? Isn't it at least a mistruth if they hold back some news
in order that it will tend us to believe what may be a lie instead of the true facts? Just to get us to lean in their direction? I mean look at the way the main media is portraying the Tea Party! The Tea Party!
Probably the most sincere gathering of groups of people from all walks of life. People who took the word of the politicians, Investors, Real Estate Co.'s and Lenders for granted when they were guaranteed
their investments were safe. People who opened their wallets one day expecting to pay the next month's bills to find nothing was there and there wasn't going to be anything there!
   They were flat out lied to and they're still being lied to! Now that's what I call a lie!! Just sayin'.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM GOD??

    There's no doubt in my mind that God exists.
     I also don't doubt he loves us all but I am sure he appreciates and loves us more if we believe in him.
     I believe he sent a messenger in the way of man to communicate with us way back when. But I also sense that the reason he did this was because he  is in a different dimension from us and needs someone born on this earth of  flesh and blood to deliver his messages. He alone probably finds it too
difficult, I mean having to deal with his nemesis, the Devil and his followers. Ahh yes, the Devil! Now why did I have to bring him up? There's a very good reason I did. It's because he is too easily forgotten in the scheme of things. Whenever something dastardly happens, the Devil is the last one who wants to be recognized as the source. You see, He sends his messengers too! What are they here for?
    Well probably among their many tasks, they want you to believe he doesn't exist.
    Let's take Bill Maher of CNN  for instance. He is a perfect example of  a Devil's disciple if there ever was one. He challenges God's wishes every step of the way and never denounces the Devil. He has a vulgar mind and an even more vulgar mouth. Do you suppose the God we know intended him to be that way?I don't think so!! He even has a vulgar head. It's got to be only with the help of the Devil's friends that he is allowed to stand before millions of people and behave the way he does. I mean, put two horns on this guy and who does he look like?
    I think old Lucifer has a huge army of followers out there and they are just like Bill Maher.
    Have you noticed when something tragic occurs how quick some people ask where God was. Well
I know where he was and is. He's in the same spot he has ever been. He sent us his message . He needs us folks who believe in him to help. We sent his messenger back to him two thousand years ago.
    We need to quit asking him and start helping him. Get it?
    The reward for us ,if we believe in him, is on the other side when we get there. It's not necessarily here on earth. In the meantime what happens here is what happens, or what we allow to happen, it's not done by him. (Volcanoes and earthquakes not included.) Just thought I'd toss that in.
    I learned to reason this way over the years with the loss of two sons along the way.
    My eldest son was murdered at the age of 30 in 1987. He was done in by the Hell's Angels in Cranbrook B.C. His name was Daniel Francis McNaughton. Because it was such a sudden thing, I had only a short time to dwell on it before moving on with my life here in the States.
    My 2nd oldest son passed away from a brain tumor on Feb. 10th, 2009. This time I had plenty of time to reason as to what roll God had to play in our lives. Then I remembered the Devil! Since then I haven't let him out of my mind. I'm not letting him off the hook.
    I will say this, I never lost my faith in God through all of that. I love him and know he's looking after things up there. We just need to do our part here.
    Just learn to recognize the work of the Devil and who does it for him. Just sayin'.

THE IMMIGRATION MESS - MEXICO

    I read in the paper this morning about the latest count of legal and illegal Mexicans in this country.
    50 MILLION!!! Now let me see here. That means that there are 20 million more than the entire population of Canada! That's right! A lot of Americans do not know that although considerably larger than the United States in size, Canada's population is only one tenth the population of the U.S. ------
Thirty million. Having lived in Canada , I can definitely see something wrong with this picture. Can't you?
    We have the current Regime thats been hand selected by Barack Obama and the Socialist left handling the affairs of our country pointing to the past actions of  the President Bush days as the root of our financial problem. They point to the things that were or weren't done in the past. They look at
everything but one of the most important ongoing problems they themselves have been supporting for a long time. Illegal immigration! In health care alone, they're driving this country to the brink.
    By no means do I want to demean or degrade the Mexican immigrants. You can only imagine how their lives were in Mexico. As a separate issue, their manner of rule, the lack of proper productive work and the constant fear of harm by the warring Drug Cartels makes their everyday existence difficult. Mexico harbors the most corrupt armies, police forces and paid off Politicians in the World today.
   If they are kept illiterate they can only believe what the selfserving Leaders want them to believe. The United States is their light at the end of the tunnel they're trapped in. They are literally running for their lives.
   We need to look at the real source of the problem. The reluctance of the man who is trying to lead this country into world Socialism, Barack Obama.
   The only way he can get the votes he needs to accomplish his personal task  is to import more people who don't have the American way of thinking. Guess who??
   They have no loyalties to the U.S. and their local "Community leaders" don't want them to have any either. We need to have a good strong look at those specific people. For their own reasons they are  instilling in the  minds of immigrants and 2nd generation children that they are here to take back what was thought to be theirs in the first place.
   They are actually inspiring them to refuse to say the pledge of allegiance. The reasons are short sighted and self serving. They hope to lead the Hispanics to suit their own means . They are a group of people well spoken in English and Spanish and enjoy the ability to lead the people who are literally handycapped in the American way of speaking. They encourage and lead them in organized protests and marches throughout the country on specific occasions such as May 1st. A Communist holiday commemorating the Socialist takeover of Russia by the communists. A coincidence? Maybe, but the lack of the American flag in these gatherings and the large display of Mexican flags indicates to me that they have no interest in paying allegiance to our United States.
   Lets not forget that Barack Obama's only real recognizable accomplishment before he got the taste of money in American politics was public speaking and  "Community Organizing". Sound familiar?
"Community Leaders" and "Community Organizers"? Could I be so dumb as to think there might be a conspiracy here? What's at stake to say there isn't and what's at stake to recognize there is ? With all these coincidences I'm going to play it safe and say there is.
   Why would we want any more anti-american groups in our Great United States that don't wish to be a part of our "American Dream" as it has been for more than 2 Centuries? Citizenships can be rescinded and I suggest we properly investigate to see if there is a connection between these people who would not defend this country as it stands for if their lives depended on it. Let's insist they honor the Pledge of Allegiance. This isn't Mexico and it's not going to be.
   The reason Barack Obama is ignoring the influx of Illegal Immigrants is for one purpose only, he wants to remain in office long enough to realize his Islamic dream, but before he does, he would have to be in a position such as the President of the United States long enough to do it. He won't get it done if he's a one term President.
   His purpose for allowing the flood of  Illegal immigrants is because his intention is to declare them
American citizens by way of Amnesty. They will then flood to the voting booths to vote for him.
   I think thats his only hope of gaining re-election in 2012.
   Why do you think he is travelling the world over right now? He is looking forward to gaining enough
votes on the World scene to someday become the President of the "New World Order"  and that's more important than re-election should he lose in 2012.
   I have worked for the past 5 years alongside Hispanics who came here to achieve the American dream. They certainly were'nt afraid of work and became my personal friends. They have good family values but lately I've seen them being influenced by there "Community Organizer" friends. I can feel it when I'm with them and their so-called "friends" come around. It's kind of sad to have it happen when you think you have achieved a friendship with them that you hope is a sign of the future.Just sayin'.

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW.

    Let me clarify my position on private ownership in the United States. I believe in it in most cases.
    Private companies are far more effective economically. In no way can a Gov't owned business thrive and survive in competition with private investment.
    However, I also believe that no privately owned company, Gov't subsidized or otherwise, should be allowed a monopoly on a business that is essential to the well being of a normal, wage earning citizen of  the United States, Senior Citizens and disabled unfortunates included.
    I will use P.S.E. for an example.
    They control use of electricity plus other crucial utilities to millions of people in the Puget Sound area.
    To those recipients, there is no other choice but to accept those services. Services that can mean exreme hardship or even death due to weather conditions if denied.
    The charges for these services can be, and in most cases are, whatever the traffic can bear. Of course this goes without saying with products that are non-essential. However with products that are
non-essential, there is competition in the marketplace to go to that may have the same or similar product that is less expensive.
    That's what happens in a free market society, as it should be. But we can't do that in the case of P.S.E. There's too much "like it or lump it" attitude with them.
    When they shut the power off without speaking to the owner prior to doing it, that's downright wrong somehow. They do come to the door ,yes, but if you aren't home at that particular time, they shut it off anyway, leaving the animals inside to suffer and the place to freeze up.
    In adverse weather they should not be allowed by law to do it. Whatever happens economically in their guaranteed business, they need to be taking their chances like any other independent, private business. After all, they are private stockholders as far as I know.
    Bringing this whole problem to light poses many questions and difficult answers, no doubt, but they don't have to kick a man when he's down like they so often do.
    Besides the lucrative entertaining world of  lobbyists, what are we paying our politicians for?
    I don't know any definite answers to this of course, but a few bucks under the table and I might.
    Get it yet?  Just sayin'.

CREATION OF THE AMERICAN PRODUCTIVE DOLLAR

    There are two different ways to look at the earning of a dollar. The 1st  way is simple. Your neighbor has the  money. You don't. The neighbor asks you to perform a task, like cutting the lawn or building a deck. You do the work to his satisfaction and he pays you dollars. You now have $20.00 and the neighbor isn't out anything because he is satisfied he has a nice looking lawn. If you built him a deck, you have $ 400.00 and the neighbor has a $400.00 deck. The neighbor hasn't lost a thing because he has the value of what he spent to show for it. You now have $420
    It works the same way in private industry. You produce a product, any product, you have created  something of  value that the company can pay you for and you get your money. Great isn't it? Nobody
loses,. Everybody gains. The company goes on to sell the goods you made for a profit and then pays you the next week for your goods produced once again. They pay their dues to the Gov't and so do you in the form of  taxes. So now we have a third party involved with the transactions who has produced nothing but has some of your productive dollars to conduct Gov't affairs,
  So far it works out okay since you're still working and because  the private Union you belong to has
negotiated a better income on your behalf, the company you work for increases the cost to the buyer.
   The economy stays good and the Gov't takes care of our business without any waste involved.
   But only if the workers are producing a product for every dollar they make.
   The perfect storm in financing has occurred here in the U.S. because the workers producing the goods are in China for example and not here. So the Corp's are making a windfall of profits while the workers are idle here. Nothing to produce, no money coming in.
    But our bloated Gov't must go on, and with all this unemployment, they need more money and on it goes.
    They simply print out more money or borrow it to get it done. This deflates the value of the U.S. dollar because there was not enough production here to support it. The value of the dollar deflates to the rest of the world currency and goods produced in China cost more as a result of it's reduction in world value. Get it yet?
    When the Gov't spends money to look after our affairs as we elected them to do, they usually cannot produce a profit. They are not producing anything that can be resold to retrieve the losses. Its money the private companies and their workers have already produced! We can only at best, chalk it up to the cost of doing business in a free market world. It's an expense, not a product. Yet with China enjoying the prosperity and because we enjoy the position of once having been the the most productive country in the world, (China is now) we are expected to be the first ones there in a disaster.
    I would like to suggest an easier answer to that particular problem. The companies that are based in one country and have their goods produced in another,  should be required by the famous "New world Order"
to pay a special tax to a central monetary fund that in case of disaster, they pay the expenses of  bailing that country out of it's financial mess instead of asking the unemployed workers of this country to do it.
    Don't you think that would be a better plan? Just sayin'.

DEEDS, INDEED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.POEM

                   A deed can make a happy man
                   but also make him sad
                   It's something done since time began
                   And can be good or bad
                   We need to know how it will sit
                   And if it will fit in
                   If no one hurts because of it
                   I guess it's not a sin
                   A nasty deed can hurt a guy
                   Sometimes it's meant that way
                   Some will laugh while others cry
                   It may have ruined their day
                   I ask myself how many times
                   When doing folks a deed
                   If by mistake it wasn't kind
                   and caused a heart to bleed.
                   And if I did, should I repent
                   By talking through a sigh
                   With some regret Im sorry, Gent
                   Or did I simply lie.
                   It's something to consider friend
                   'Cause in my life I've found
                   From doing deeds that may offend,
                   What goes around comes round.
                   We needn't be a Saint as such
                   Or perfect to the letter
                   If we can help the ones we touch
                   Our lives will be much better
                   So this advice is simply that
                   when all your deeds are good
                   You'll be a happy Diplomat
                   And fittingly you should.

FRIENDS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>POEM

                                                          FRIENDS
 Who listens to the griping
 and cares when we get ill?
 It's the real true friends we have,
 and sympathize they will.

They lend an ear to idle talk and never talk us down
They stand beside us all the way
 and always stick around.

 A vigil kept by only them
 Its like they know whats wrong
 and stay beside your bed at night
 to try to keep you strong.

 I tip my hat to these dear Pals
 Who lay there like like a log
 You guessed it, yup, you bet you did,
 The good old family dog.

TEACHERS: LET'S GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!

    I recently did some work for a couple of days in Mt. Vernon for the Shool District to help a friend catch up on some work to the various buildings and their classrooms. While doing this, I realized I hadn't been in a classroom for at least 4 decades!
    The classrooms that impressed me the most were the elementary ones and each had their own grade levels. I couldn't help but take notice of the way the teachers had arranged them to prepare the students for subjects they were teaching or about to teach.
     It has been some time since being in one but the familiarity of  my own learning days came glaringly to mind. I don't think even back in those days I was conscious of the behind the scenes work they had to accomplish before   the next learning day, nor was I really aware of the physical and mental stress they endured to get it done. As a student I didn't care. I didn't take into consideration the emotions they suffered , the long hours they worked or the amount of  comfort  and caring they had to keep in reserve
for an unfortunate or misguided child. (When I say "child" I mean any student up to senior class.)
     I recognize now that not just any bright, educated person can become a teacher just because the money may be attractive in that profession. The need to love children basically has to be there, the ability to communicate to them and the desire to help others is essential. Most teachers, I'm sure, know that already.
     Another thought that came to me was the way I behaved with some of the teachers when I was a student myself. If only I could go back in time to see them again and apologize for my behavior, I would.,
     In my blogs I am critical of the  behavior of the powerful unions, including the Teacher's union because of the leaders political behaviors. Believe me, in no way do I criticize the members in this particular subject.
     I firmly believe the the teachers are more than deseving of their time they are allotted in the summer months. Thank you for your dedication!Just

WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANY CHRISTIANS STAND WITH OBAMA.

                                          email me     macgeo1234@hotmail.com
                                   read my blogs     http:/macgeo1234.blogspot.com
     In a previous blog I mentioned the presence of the devil . I did this because I heard a religious "expert" remark that there was no hell. Well, I'm no religious expert either and I'm not going to act like I am the way he does,.But I  feel the way things are headed in the world right now, we may very well be creating one right here on Mother Earth. After all, who's managing the store right now in the U.S.? It's not Obama!
     The guy is never here! He is doing exactly what he wants to do, and with what he has in mind, It's not the welfare of this country.
     He is seeking to gain the support of the rest of the modern world in the taking down of this country as the most powerful Nation in the world. Just as his infamous father wished as a Muslim.
      I look on him as a master of disguise equipped with the ability to act like someone he certainly is not.  Can anyone tell me what his real intentions are today as compared to what they were when he was parading as a christian? Was he born with a Muslim name? Yes, he was, and most certainly he was born a Muslim. Not only born one, but raised one.
    Being born a muslim means that it isn't a sin to lie or deceive if it will further the good of Islam. Killing in the name of Muhammid is also allowed. He is the man with the Golden voice and the gift to communicate. He is totally self serving, walks alone and devoid of compassion. With a smile that even fools babies, as he does. He has regimented himself only to show compassion when he needs to.
    He's very careful, skillful and manipulating in a way that doesn't directly come from his own mouth but out of the mouths of his appointed people.
    His behavior is very similar to Vladimir Putin's. I believe both of them operate with total dedication to their causes. Take notice of how friendly they are with each other, and how much they've met. Whenever there's a meeting of the European Union, Obama's there instead of being here at home looking after business instead. I believe he's being advised by Putin in leading The U.S. out of our beloved Democratic Republic.
He claims to have converted to Christianity but seldom plays the roll. The reason? He cannot succeed in his quest to control the country without the liberal/socialist thinking Christians. So in the name of Muhammed, he will lie cheat and even condone killing if it fits his wishes. Who else but him could convince good Christians who normally have common sense to step away from their true beliefs and follow him like sheep.
     I'll repeat what I said in my previous blog that once in the Islamic faith, he CANNOT abandon the Muslim faith for Christianity. The penalty is death. This man is a Sociopath  who is devoid of guilt. He is the perfect man to advance the Muslim faith according to Sheriah law. He wouldn't dare openly abandon the Muslim faith for Christianity for fear of death. Check it out!!
     Why on earth do Christians ignore some of their religious beliefs to support this guy? He doesn't have any respect for our Constitution and Bill of rights. I'm surprised the Christians who support him don't as well, and are following his lead, regardless of the fact our laws are written under Judeo/Christian beliefs!
     He is very tactfully, financially supporting whomever might vote for him regardless of their cause. Every day he supports anybody who will speak against the American way. He inspires unrest all over the world by supporting the rioters including in this country. Just watch him and see for yourself.   Just sayin'.
