| Obama makes a speech in Minnesota and says that the status quo for healthcare won't do right now, and he's right. I just disagree on his method of reform. The status quo right now still has lots of government involvement in healthcare and health insurance. His answer for reform is more government. The reform that I believe needs to happen is to get the government out. Its unconstitutional for the government to be involved. The argument that capitalism has gotten us where we are is a complete lie. It was not capitalism that got us here, but laws and regulations hindering and prohibiting the process. It was our legislators ignoring the constitution on both sides of the isle. This is the biggest element that none of these politicians and pundits seem to understand. It is not that we don't want a black president, it is not that we don't want any democrats, there are just as many republicans ignoring the constitution as democrats! Why do you think they got booted out? They did not do what they said they were going to do. They ran on smaller government, and less spending. They did not follow up on their promises and now they are out of power. Was that racism? I'm pretty sure they where pretty much all white republicans replaced by mostly more white democrats who ran on conservative tickets. This outlash at our government has been a long time coming. People's anger at the government has been growing for over a decade now and after President Bush signing the first bailout they started groggily waking up to the fact that there is a serious problem with our government. Now with President Obama taking the agenda that President Bush began, and pushing it forward at a speed we have never seen before in our lifetime, it has caused us to brush the scales off of our eyes and see our government for who they really are. They are internationalists and enemies of the constitution. They are not interested in the constitution. When is the last time you have heard any of them frame any debate around the constitution? Ron Paul is the only one who consistantly does that. One congressman out of 535 people in the House and Senate. No wonder we are getting incensed. | | |
| Sometimes I really wonder how in the world our government thinks it is going to run healthcare better than the private sector when they can't even run their own programs and organizations. As our President even said, "UPS and Fed Ex are doing fine its the US post office that is struggling.". Ok, so tell me again why I should trust the government to run an industry that comprises7% of our economy? Really not undrstanding it. | | |
| an email from Glenn Beck: Hello America,
Here it is, another Fourth of July. Traditionally, this is a day to gather with friends, maybe fire up the barbeque and play with kids until the sun sets and the fireworks start. But in thinking back on the meaning behind this day, we must never forget that our nation was baptized in the blaze of a very different kind of "fireworks." Yes, this is a day of rest and relaxation, as well it should be, but this year…I'd like to ask you a favor. At some point during the day, I hope you'll take time to think and reflect on what it is we're truly celebrating on the 4th of July -- our Independence Day. Of course the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776 but it's so much more than that. On this day, 233 short years ago, a small group of men dedicated themselves to a higher purpose, an ideal they believed in so greatly, they signed their name to its expression and in doing so put their very lives at risk.
Never has a simple act of signing one's name carried such weight, such a profound commitment. By signing the Declaration of Independence, 56 men stood in direct defiance of the British government. They became marked men, and willingly so. As I was doing some research on the significance of July 4th, I came across some interesting facts about these men. Today as we all enjoy the freedom our forefathers guaranteed us, join me in honoring the extraordinary sacrifice of 56 extraordinary Americans.
Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence:
Five were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes burned to the ground. Two lost sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, and two more had sons captured. Nine fought and died in the Revolutionary War. If you ever feel like your lone voice can never be heard, that the political system isn't set up for "regular" Americans to change the course of history, remember: The signers were flesh and blood, mortal men with a divinely-inspired aim.
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, eleven were merchants, and nine were farmers and large plantation owners. They were well educated, smart enough to know that by signing the Declaration of Independence, they were signing their own death warrants. They did it anyway, and God bless them for it.
As we enjoy our liberty on this 4th of July, or any day of any month, we must never take that liberty for granted. Too many have given too much. In the words of the Signers themselves, "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
Their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor -- I think that's a price paid worth a few minutes of reflection, don't you? But let's not be solemn in that reflection. I say rejoice and share this information with your friends and family, especially your kids. The Signers asked for nothing in return for their pledge, but I say that we show our thanks with a pledge of our own: To remember, to be grateful, and to carry on in their spirit. America is the greatest country this world has ever and will ever know, and it will stay that way so long as "we the people" remember that just like in 1776.
It's US that surrounds them, and we'll never back down.
Happy Independence Day, and God bless America.

| July 1st already. I can't believe how fast time just goes by these days. On one hand it helps me get through work, on the other hand, there is a lot I desire to accomplish and the time I have to do it in is fleeting. There are a couple of things I have been wanting to do for some time that I finally did. 1) get some trimmers to keep back teh shrubbery around my house. 2) finish off the patio. Dad helped me out getting number started and finished. Chris and Nate both helped as well. Its great that they like to be helpers.... most of the time anyway...

| Another seemingly gloomy day, yet I still have a job. I ran into a guy from the Laborer's Union today who was complaining about how a buddy of his has been out of work for a few months and is #80 on the waiting list. Well, I was a job getting paid pretty well to sit there and listen to him complain. So I guess that gives me less to to complain about. hooray! One major comlaint I do have is that I'm not at home and have no way of pranking anyone I know with anything worthwhile so instead I found an awesome video and put it on my facebook that everyone should watch about twelve times. That was the best I could up with so far... | | |
