Just a cranky old 49er!

No! The end IS in sight!

No! The end IS in sight!
"And in those days there will be signs in the heavens!"

Who wrote the National Anthem?

"The only thing necessary for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing!" I shall not be silenced! I shall demand truth! "Any thought left unchallenged is established as fact!" The thought that this is a "Muslim nation" is a lie! I shall challenge any insane individual that makes this claim! Nor were the founders of this nation and the framers of the Constitution deists!
My Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, was and is the living Son of the living Jehovah God! Allah is not "just another name for the Jehovah God Jews and Christians worship!" Allah is a god fabricated by the Prophet Mohammed and is celebrated in the Qu'ran as a "great deceiver!"

Christianity vs. socialism





TRUE Christianity, taught by true ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, is about, after acceptance and public acknowledgement of Jesus as one's only salvation and Way to the Father, service and giving.
Service and giving! I have an almost irresistable urge to serve and give to others. Especially to those I know are in need. It's almost a compulsion! I will often give the last penny I have to those in need. Any true Christian will feel the same. With Jesus in our heart in the person of the Holy Spirit, we instinctively want to give, to help, to serve, to supply and provide.

On the other hand, socialism is more about coveteousness and taking. A man works hard all his life to provide for his children and grandchildren-to leave a legacy of provision. He plans ahead and wants to be a good provider for his family and along comes socialistic government, looking at all he has ammassed and takes a share of that and gives it to others THEY feel need what he has worked for!

Government, by force of arms TAKES what one man works for to give to another man! I went out to the garden yesterday and picked vegetables. I moved the water hose. I walked over to the orchard and turned on a valve to water the pecan trees. I moved a soaker hose to water the grapes and figs. From the sweat of MY brow and MY labor I shall eat fresh squash for lunch.

If I decide to sell some of my produce and crops I will take the money I make and drive to town. I'll buy some gas for the truck. I'll buy some cheese to go into the squash. I'll buy some seed and other groceries. That is what capitalism is all about. Buying and selling. Making a profit. Spending that profit by investing in more seed for the fall crop.

Socialism seeks to take a larger and larger portion of my profits to give to other people. Many of whom do not sweat or work for themselves. And THEY work only to put more socialist-thinking people in office to provide themselves what I work and sweat for!

As primary caregiver for my mother I am unable to leave the house for more than a few hours at a time so I visit construction sites and ask for salvage materials. The more metals and useable wood and building materials I haul off and recycle and reuse the more money the contractor saves because he pays by the ton to have it hauled away. I picked up a stainless steel hand rail to help keep my mother from falling tonight at 9:50 PM out of a construction dumpster. I seperate and sell the metals I don't keep for my own projects and save the other building materials for those projects. I pick up large amounts of cardboard to add to my brush pile where I burn building materials and use a magnet to glean metals from the ashes and recycle them.
By the sweat of my brow I have made work, created income from work others will not do. It helps the environment, keeps materials out of the landfill which helps the community, provides me nearly free building materials, does away with a large amount of waste and creates commerce. It's very hard, grueling work!

And I do all of this while caring for my aging mother and raising crops to feed both myself, my mother and people I sell and give my produce to. Capitalism at it's finest.

And yet, my property taxes went up again this year while the actual selling price of land and real estates has either remained static or dropped. Socialist government wants it's cut of the work I have done.

There is a strong Christian value that those who do not work do not eat! That's the way it should be. Socialism has a SIMILIAR value but it doesn't care much for those who do not produce! My mother is 74 years old and about the only thing she can produce is prayer for her children and grandchildren! Prayer is a valuable commodity to the Christian faith but is useless to the socialist.

A friend and hanger-on around our president, Ezekiel Emmanuel, has said that "useless eaters" are worthless. To Emmanuel, my mother is a useless eater and therefore worthless. Our president Barak Obama has told the American people to judge him by the people around him! And he has surrounded himself with radical socialsits, communists, fascists and sexual perverts.

My conclusion is that what I love the most; sweating and hard work providing for myself and others around me-others in whom I see a need, is deemed a bad thing by the average socialist and it must be stamped out! Stamped out how? By taxing me out of business and allowing my mother to go uncared for until she's gone!

True Christianity is about service and giving, true socialism is about one coveting what another has worked for and taking it by force of government and giving it to whomever HE deems deserving! True socialists believe in the central government planning and distribution of resources it takes through confiscatory taxation to both themselves to people THEY wish to give it to!

China suffered from this very thing between 1958 and 1961. The People's Liberation Army went into the rural areas of China and confiscated foodstuffs grown by the people and hauled it away to the cities and fed themselves and people THEY deemed worthy to survive. Literally millions died due to socialist central planning! And during this time the Chinese propaganda machine was hard at work as we see in the photo! Socialism is a work of deception!

In 1932 and 1933 the Soviet Army rolled in to the bread basket of the Soviet Union, the Ukrane, and confiscated every scrap of food they could find! This act by the Soviet government is still remembered as Holodomor! And thanks to socialist central planning, literally millions of people in a land of plenty starved to death! People who worked and sweat to produce, to provide were rewarded for their labor with Holodomor!

Lastly as we examine the differences between true Christian principals and socialism let us look at the direction THIS nation is headed! In 2007, for the first time in modern history, this country became a net food importer. The USDA is promoting agricultural practices that push American farmers to grow less food. Much of Texas' winter garden has moved over the border to Mexico. Our production and processing of foodstuffs and meat products has moved away from the consumer. Our foodstuffs are dependent on a fragile transportation system and Americans have moved away from gardening and growing their own food. In the name of safer food the USDA is promoting a program called "Farm to fork." Google it! This p[rogram alone will drive up the cost of food!

Christian, biblical principals are all about service and giving and socialism is all about taking and distributing! Are YOU a useless eater? And who is worthy to decide when another becomes a useless eater? Think about it!

A definition to consider!

Capital flight is defined as;
"The movement of money from one investment to another in search of greater stability or increased returns. Sometimes specifically refers to the movement of money from investments in one country to another in order to avoid country-specific risk (such as high inflation or political turmoil) or in search of higher returns. Capital flight is seen most commonly in massive foreign capital outflows from a specific country, often at times of currency instability. Often, the outflows are large enough to affect a country's entire financial system."

Let's look at that again; "Often, the outflows are large enough to affect a country's entire financial system."

The country of Mexico, in the 80s, was benefiting from over $10 million per year in wages sent home by illegal workers in the U.S. and since that time the number has risen into the billions.

That is money NOT creating commerce here. NOT putting Americans to work. NOT being spent here. It is a drain on this country's economy but can anyone actually say it's a boost to Mexico's economy?

I mean all you have to do is go to Google or Bing Images and type in Poverty in Mexico and tens of thousands of photos are there! Right there for all to see!

What all do NOT see is where all that money is going!

Capital flight always has been and is now a clear and present danger to the stability of this country's economy! It's a clear and present danger to our way of life!

And neither political party has done anything to stop that flight!

Why? Democrats and organizations like LULAC, MALDEF, La Raza want more peasants for their patron democracy! People who will vote however the patron tells them. This is an insult to those Hispanics who are just as intelligent as anyone else but it grows every day!

Republicans want more illegals here because the wish to drive wages down and I am sad to say they want better, more motivated hard working people! A scarse commodity
amongst almost three generations of American workers! George W. Bush put troops on the border but all they did was build vehicle barriers and make a show. He didn't want to stem the tide! It would have hurt his fatcat buddies in industry!

Caught in the middle are those people, Hispanic and Anglo, who live on the border who are victimized on a regular basis by this influx.

Is there a solution? Of course, there is! The most scary solution anyone has ever considered doing! I wrote about this over twenty years ago and the situation has only grown worse! The solution is to-are you ready for this-put people to work! Put Americans to work! Cut welfare and food stamps for every single able-bodied man and woman! Cut the programs that pay women to have children! Repeal the Davis/Bacon Act and put stringent new regulations on unions.

Ah, yes! Such harsh measures! Actually make people work for a living for a change! People becoming skilled workers again! Learning how to fit pipe! Training a new generation of industrial workers skilled in their crafts and trades! Start building America again!

Revolutionary I know! And for these radical notions I was kicked off the local rag!
