250,000 Is Not A Magic Number

The elected officials came back to D.C. a couple days ago, and it seems to me the only thing on their minds is the Bush tax cuts

Granted, this may be an important issue, but in my mind there is another issue that should embarrass every one of us, and should take center stage.

Debbie Stabenow seems like she wants to help

I am a fan of Glenn Beck, and I was all for his " Faith, Hope, and Charity " event back on 8/28, but it seems to me that this would be the biggest thing someone could do to help your fellow man, to stand with you brother, to step up and make sure your brother, your fellow man, your Countryman has food, shelter, and maybe some dignity.

Check out this guy....

We should all be ashamed.

I frequent this site Unemployed-Friends and read their stories, and read how I can help. I have used the information on the site to call email Washington and ask that something be done to help these people.

Today, I have a roof over my head, and some food on my shelves, and I am thank full. I have the ability at this time to get more, but what if ????

This man was no different than any of us just a short time ago, and because of the way the market and the economy went, he was tossed aside.

If I do not speak for him now, then who will speak for me ?

If you do not stand for these people, then who will stand for you when you need someone ?

Throw The Politics Out The Window

I stop in at this message board / forums site from time to time to read comments from unemployed folks that are struggling with no jobs, no money, and no one in D.C. listening to them.
It has different topics ranging from current bills, contacting state reps, venting frustrations, and a place for like minded people to offer support to those that could use a kind word, or just to know that there may be light at the end of this long dark tunnel.
I came across this post, and it really made me think..

" Sorry guys but Ive given up. It's just too much and up is down and down is up. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Keep up the fight and carry the torch. Please forgive me for being weak. I believe strongly in God and I love Him with all of my heart. and I do believe that I will go to Heaven. I am too weak to handle any more issues with money and bills and people and stuff.

Jesus is coming soon. Please get ready. If you don't know Him as your personal Lord and Savior, please just repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart. It's that simple. there's no process and you don't have to get your act together first like the devil tells you that you do.

I'm going to go to sleep now. i won't be back, but I will hopefully be in Heaven praying for you guys and all the downtrodden. We are in the last days and this is the persuction. But along with the unemplyment my husband abandoned me with no money and no food hardly. and it doesn't matter cuz I can't eat anyway. I have not committed suicide but I did take some pills to help me relax. I'm gonna pray until I fall asleep.... "

We get up on our soap boxes every day and type out our two cents worth of free speech, blaming Bush and Obama, and Barney Frank, and Glenn Beck, and whoever the media parades in front of us that day.
We hit the Publish Post button, and think we are making a difference in the world today because we have told it like it is, and this is the problem, and this is how to fix it.
Let's call bull right now because as the saying goes, opinions are like a**holes and everybody has one.
There are some folks out there, in OUR country, in our OWN backyards that are in trouble. They have no food, no shelter, nothing.
And everyday more and more people are joining them.

From a personal view, I have friends that were in the construction business with me, honest, hardworking guys that would give you the shirt off their backs that now have been laid off for nearly 2 years.

Two years of filling out applications, doing odd jobs for little or no money, selling everything they have just to keep a roof over their kids head.

I know these people, they are not the crowd that the few in Washington make them out to be. These folks did not cause the economic problems we have today but they are left to suffer for it now

Our Government and Americans in general are the first to step up when someone is in trouble. If a disaster hits a distant Nation, the American Flag is a welcome sight.
Today we have folks that wake up to empty cupboards, electricity turned off, and having to make a choice between a half gallon of milk for their child or a little gas to go check on a job at the fast food.
Forget the Politics this weekend, and forget to point a finger to blame someone for the Nations troubles.
Remember, when you point at someone, you have three more fingers pointing back at you.
To remember what happened on 9/11, get the feeling you had after it happened.
After the shock, I wanted to do something, to help somehow.
Well, honor 9/11 by helping someone that needs it, right in your own backyard.
Donate some food, contribute towards someones light bill, offer to fill someones tank, give some of those nice clothes to them, not the old ones, hire someone off of Craigslist to do some side work for you, spend some money at a yard sale.
Remember, these folks were the backbone of our Country not long ago, they did not choose this.

Just help someone for 9/11

The New Monica

You know what ?
It's really not funny. It's sad.
But even worse are the idiots that blindly follow her into hell with a screwed on smile, not even knowing where they are headed.



What the heck has happened to us ?
What has happened to our Government ?
Money ? Greed ? Power ?
Or did someone just forget what it was like to work for something, and then take a step back and be proud of what they had accomplished ?
Who is to blame ?
Me ?
I don't think so, I work, and I save, and I live in a way that I can afford to.
I may not have the biggest house, or the flashiest truck in the county, but I can get to the store, and I have a place to get in out of the rain.



I have had enough to offer some room to family and friends in the past couple years that fell on bad times during this depression, and will continue to do so for as long as I can.
I think it is time to take this bull by the horns.



Remember when that ass Maher started telling us Americans how stupid we were, and how we needed to be drug to something ?
Well I think it is time to drag something.
Maybe drag those people out of our house in D.C,
I know, November is coming, but can we wait that long ?
And how do we know we will not send another bunch of worthless crooks to take their place ?
And the biggest question I have, is can all of the destruction that has been caused by this left wing administration be repaired ?
We are so close to a civil war in our own country right now, I believe that the November elections will be the spark that sets it off.
It will not matter what side you decide to be on today, or whether you choose to stand for the constitution or not, but when people decide to turn on one another, where do you think the people with the Socialist/Marxist intentions will be ?
What do you think they will be doing ?
Will they be there to help you ?

Climategate

The big Climategate story.
Just how many people are hanging their heads in shame right about now ?


I just have to point out that I am one of those that was screaming scam when Al Gore and all the green people tried running this crap down our throats.
I also want to point out that I am one of those that are standing with my arms crossed and foot tapping, looking down at these crooks wondering how they plan to pay back all the money they wasted with their lies and corruption.
I propose a new law.
When a person, or persons are involved in a scam like Climategate, or a ponzi scheme like Madoff had going, or tied into the housing mess, let's strip them.
Not just strip them of their job, but their car, house, bank accounts, cell phone, baseball card collection, clothes, everything they have.
And everyone connected, and that had gained from what was going on, no chance of getting a lawyer and pleading to a judge " I didn't know what they were doing ! "
To hell with that, they know, they all do, they just keep their mouths shut as long as the money keeps coming in.
Putting Madoff in jail did not really hurt him, leaving him and his wife homeless under a bridge with no food would have punished him.
These scientists that got so much grant money to lie to everyone so that a few companies could line their pockets with more money, and make Al Gore rich, should turn your stomachs.
Strip them, strip them all
