You're Scaring Me Too Mr. Obama

Apparently, I'm not the only one scared right now.

I know the subject of Mr. Pritchett's letter has been discussed many times on other blogs and e-mails but this is relevant for the true nature of my post which is below. I'm not sure that everyone is familiar with his work and writings.

Lou Pritchett

Foremost Leader in Change Management

Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America's true living legends - an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

<----the 2010="" census-----="" federal="">



Link To List Of Questions

Recently, I heard of the approaching questions on the *28 page* 2010 Federal Census on the news. They are outraged at these intrusive, scary questions, as I now feel about them. If the questions the Fed's are DEMANDING of us aren't scary, I don't know what is. If they're not ILLEGAL they're certainly IMMORAL. This is more infringing on our freedoms and rights so that taxes may escalate.

The news media also stated that with the new laws, the Federal government now DEMANDS that all citizens, legal or illegal, fill out the Census. Failure to comply results in jail time and/or a $5,000 fine. Also, if a person does not comply with Herr Government, the Obama Brown Shirts can talk to your neighbors about you and glean information (real or imagined)! The Fed's are hiring ... get this ... ACORN members to take the Census!!! They will be sending these law-breakers around in the cities to ask y'all these questions.

Guess what? Next Census husband and I desided that we're gonna 'disappear' as much as possible off the radar. No surprise there from those who know me, I'm sure. The mistrust of the government runs deep in my Scotch-Irish blood anyway. This makes me so sad though. I'm an avid genealogist who loves family research, one of which is using the Federal Census' to locate kin. And I personally always enjoyed filling out the Census and taking pride in being part of the American dream. But this go around we're not filling out nor mailing in nor talking to anyone about this Census. Period. If an ACORN member walks up my fenced in heavily gated country acres driveway there's gonna be Trouble.

"Yer trespassin' there Bubba." [click]

I didn't know until recently that President Franklin D. Roosevelt (also a Despot Wannabe) used the 1940 Federal Census to round up law-abiding Japanese-Americans and confiscate their legally bought lands with no due process. The Jap-Americans never got those lands or any monies back, as far as I know. They were imprisoned simply because they were of an 'unpopular' race.

Well, that puts a new spin on those questions, don't it?!

I guarantee that if things suddenly didn't keep going the Magic Negro's way, he will blame the Jew's and eventually Christians and/or Conservatives. The Federal Census will help them with imprisoning and/or levying more unfair taxes on any 'undesirables'.

Unless something unforeseen happens, I will be posting this warning again as we get close to April 2010. I hope this helps save some people from what's coming.

Ohhhh, and if nothing changes, it's coming.

Gosh. I hope I'm wrong. But for now, I'm scared too Mr. Pritchett.


"In Germany, they came first for the Communists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then ... they came for me ...
And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Another Tax Productive Americans And Give To Foreign Countries


In the middle of a global financial crisis, our government is debating about signing into law a heinous Cap and Trade bill. The very same type of legislation that countries like New Zealand, France, and others are repealing BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SAVE THE PLANET (as the bill is toting for all the 'greenies') but instead caused a financial collapse of their economies. This new bill is the hell-spawned brain child of Mr. Obama and others. IT'S A TAX ON ENERGY and guess who pays it? Yep, you and me. EVERYTHING WILL DOUBLE IN PRICE FROM TAXES. EVERYTHING: fuel, food, energy, internet, TV, products, clothing, and on and on and on. There will be nothing left unsullied. The higher taxes will be especially devasting on the poor, deeply in debt and the middle-class.

One provision is the USA will be paying other countries to NOT cut down trees!

Also, the Cap and Trade Bill is a gateway bill for the government to control everything you buy and every decision you make. What little freedom we have left will disappear in the stroke of a pen. Yet another Obamanisum.

This bill has already passed the House on Friday by a narrow margin. The link leads to a web site of the individuals who voted on this Tax and Grab bill. For me, these individuals who caved and voted "Aye" are now in my cross-hairs.

Next it goes to the Senate.

House Vote On Passage: H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 LINK

I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this all is but I guess very few who are listening. Many of these taxes and freedom stealers are going after non-Union employees! How unfair is THAT!? They'd do well to better remember that many of us have the guns, the resources and the ability to survive.

Sorry to be so harsh but I am very concerned and want y'all to Be Prepared financially, spiritually and emotionally. We are headed for some really tough times in America.

Can We Satisfy Our Government's 14 Carat Minds?


Congressman Ron Paul (TX)

Wow, what adjectives, adverbs and nouns did 2008 presidential candidate and Congressman Ron Paul of Texas not resort to when recalling a horrific vision he experienced this week?

"Could it all be a bad dream, or a nightmare?" Mr. Paul wondered. "Is it my imagination, or have we lost our minds? It's surreal; it's just not believable. A grand absurdity; a great deception; a delusion of momentous proportions, based on preposterous notions and on ideas whose time should never have come; simplicity grossly distorted and complicated; insanity passed off as logic; grandiose schemes built on falsehoods with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff; evil described as virtue; ignorance pawned off as wisdom; destruction and impoverishment in the name of humanitarianism; violence, the tool of change; preventive wars used as the road to peace; tolerance delivered by government guns; reactionary views in the guise of progress; an empire replacing the republic; slavery sold as liberty; excellence and virtue traded for mediocrity; socialism to save capitalism; a government out of control, unrestrained by the Constitution, the rule of law, or morality; bickering over petty politics as we collapse into chaos; the philosophy that destroys us is not even defined."

Is this where you woke up, sir?

"We have broken from reality," he continued. "A psychotic nation. Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge replacing wisdom. Money does not grow on trees, nor does prosperity come from a government printing press or escalating deficits. We're now in the midst of unlimited spending of the people's money, exorbitant taxation, deficits of trillions of dollars spent on a failed welfare/warfare state; an epidemic of cronyism; unlimited supplies of paper money equated with wealth ..."

"Of course, it could all be a bad dream, a nightmare, and that I'm seriously mistaken, overreacting, and that my worries are unfounded. I hope so. But just in case, we ought to prepare ourselves for revolutionary changes in the not-too-distant future."

No, Congressman, this is not a dream. Everything except our souls have been surrendered to satisfy the maglomania of one man. It's a nightmare being orchestrated by the our narcissistic metrosexual 'president' and applauded by the uninformed.

May God have mercy us and our descendants.

Happy First Blogoversary

Wahoo! Today my bloggyland existence turns One!

It's unbelievable that I've been steadily blogging for 365 days. So many wonderful things have happened. Luckily, most of them were great and memorable.

When I created this blog, it was a way for me to get all the thoughts out of my fuzzy blonde head and onto 'paper'. Plugging along and doing my own thing, I never expected or dreamed that I would befriend so many other wonderful and supportive bloggers from around the world. Some of these folks I hope to be friends with until I'm in Heaven and on into eternity.

I've run the gambit on conversations and shared many private thoughts with y'all. Ive 'penned' my views on politics, my faith in Jesus Christ, family, crafts, weather, medical concerns, talked about motorcycles, had bloggyland 'trips', been blessed with a blog award or two, and so forth. The list is seemingly endless.

Y'all have hung with me all along the way.

I am humbled.

And, as it always is in real life, I have learned a great deal from YOU as well. For that, I am truly grateful.

So to everyone who've come along with Yours Truly on this digital journey and shared in my freedom of expression, thank you so much for reading and for all your kind comments, support and prayers.

My love for writing has been re-kindled this past year too. You all have helped to add to this good feeling of sharing My Thoughts Exactly.

Why, I feel plum fuzzy all over ... GROUP HUG!! [lol]

We're Having A Heatwave, A Tropical Heatwave


It is sooooo hot ... I know "how hot is it?"

Well, it is so hot, I'll bet I could fry an egg on the sidewalk! During daylight hours the heat index has been hovering right about 116 degrees.

Day, after day, after day, after day, after frickin' day ... [lol]

Wow.

So, how about some humor, to, eh, lighten the situation.

What is the Mexican weather report?
Chili today and hot tamale.



If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?


Jack was living in Arizona during a heat wave. As he got out of the shower he said to his wife: "It's just too hot to wear clothes today honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"

"Probably that I married you for your money."



Ok, ok, I won't make you suffer with any more lame jokes. Have a great day y'all and try to stay cool. Happy summer soltice. :o)


I just know that after receiving our electric bill, I'm gonna look like that too ...[groan]

Fun Time At The Hospital


WELL! I don't know about you, but I am so glad that yesterday 'is in the can', as I've heard them say in the film industry.

Gosh, what a day. It wasn't bad, just long and tedious. Our hospital rents the machine that does the kidney stone pounding (can't remember the name of the machine).

First, the truck hauling it broke down enroute. The hospital called us at home, "don't show up until 10:30 am". No problem. We arrived at the appointed time. Hubby gets prepped with needles in his arms so he can't move on the gurney. Then, we learn that the machine itself is 'broke' or malfuntioning in some way. We had to wait until 2:00 pm for Fed Ex to rush a part from somewhere. Then the doctor is so backed up with work that he can't get to Steve until about 5:30 pm.

With all this going on, we didn't return home until 9:30 pm! We were gone about 12 hours. The house was dark, doggies were worried and both of us were so tired. Steve had terrible nausea this time for some reason. He *never* throws up but did so twice last night. Poor guy. And I felt sorry for the hospital staff. They were tired too and couldn't go home for quite awhile. I thanked them all profusely, they kept apologizing and I said "it's not y'alls fault". We all had to smile and laugh at the comedy of errors. The staff were exceedingly kind. I got to talk about the love of Christ to quite a few people too. To me, that's a good day.

Our pastor and wife were able to visit with us that afternoon in the hospital and he looked tired (he's had heart trouble). I didn't know that he also has kidney stones but they can't be removed because of the pacemaker and he may bleed to death! Please continue to remember Pastor Byron Scott in prayer? Thanks y'all. Anyway, I made sure to keep the visit short so he wouldn't feel bad about having to leave and get some rest. Pastor said he's napping twice a day now. I hope that's a good thing. We all prayed together, then they could go home and relax. Their stopping by meant a lot to us. At least they live right there in town and only had to travel a couple of miles to get home. We live over 30 minutes from the hospital. That's not bad out here as it's "country minutes". All country driving, not much traffic. :o)

Short story long [giggle] all my husband's kidney stones have been pounded with sonic waves and a stint put in the right side to ease passage. The stint is scheduled to be removed in the Doc's office next Tuesday. Now the remains of the stones should pass as grains of sand and small pebbles as time progresses. Poor fellow is so sore and achy but at least now he can heal and, after about a week or so, get back to his normal activities.

Thanks so much for all the kind thoughts. I will certainly convey y'alls warm wishes his way.
