Pat to AMERICA say NO to 9/11 N.Y. MOSQUE! http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/06/pat-condell-on-ground-zero-mosque-is-it-possible-to-be-astonished-but-not-surprised.html


http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/06/pat-condell-on-ground-zero-mosque-is-it-possible-to-be-astonished-but-not-surprised.html
With the Brit Pat Condell we call upon Americans to have a bit of a spine and stop the current ISLAMO-ATROCITY-ISM in it’s New York tracks.

We Americans do know what side our bread is buttered on.  If it were not for God, America would not exist.

When Abraham asked for mercy for Sodom and Gomorah, God said if 10 people were righteous, He would relent and not destroy it.  There were not 10, so God helped 8 escape!

However, there are more than 10 in America who are righteous.  May God have mercy and give us courage and insight into our own false hopes and sin–and return to God with our whole hearts.

Building a mosque where it ought not be is cruel, insensitive and marking ‘softy’  America as an Islamic conquest…see Spain’s mosque that marked Islamo conquest there.  Foreign death cultures tangle with the wrong so called ‘softies’ when they say they will CONQUER SOFTY AMERICA. Sure we can call in the Marines!  But first we call upon the Lord of Heaven and earth, that His will be done in New York and across the USA. Stop the mosque! We can. Apathy does not become us.

Political correctness is not commanded by God–but holiness is commanded–but God applied holiness due to His forgiveness, offered to anyone who asks God for help. Christians acknowledge their need of Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior. 

America, don’t be divided by political nonsense.  Be whole, compassionate, pray for your enemies, do right– BUT know that truth is better than lies, in any culture, and leads to more life.

There is a song, often sung by George Beverly Shea, “How Great Thou Art”, that calls us to remember our Creator and Savior, and live! ###

Gospel of John:  Chapters 1-17 and more.

” God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save it. ”

This GOSPEL is the SOURCE of America’s LIFE CULTURE!
At our beginning, God! God created the heavens and the earth, and divided the light from the darkness. Shining light on a dark place lets us see the next step, and take it.

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD.

OUR HELP COMES FROM THE LORD WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.


Judge Orders Sheriff to take College Course on U.S. Contitution, Amendment # 1

SHERIFF DORR:  BECAUSE A PERSON IS POLITICALLY ACTIVE HE CANNOT QUALIFY FOR ‘CONCEAL AND CARRY’!

WOULD HE KEEP IOWANS IN LOCK STEP APATHY?

July 12, 2010
In Iowa, a Federal judge has ordered the Osceola County Sheriff to issue a concealed handgun permit to a political activist and take a remedial course on Free Speech and the 1st Amendment.
Iowa Gun Owners member Paul Dorr, father of IGO director Aaron Dorr, successfully sued Osceola County Sheriff Douglas Weber, after his ccw permit application was denied.
Sheriff Weber testified that he denied Dorr’s permit application because of Dorr’s political activities and views — the same grassroots activism that gun owners like you participate in with the National Association for Gun Rights.

In the ruling Federal District Judge Mark Bennett said: “In denying Paul a concealed weapons permit, Sheriff Weber single-handedly hijacked the First Amendment and nullified its freedoms and protections. Ironically, Sheriff Weber, sworn to uphold the Constitution, in fact retaliated against a citizen of his county who used this important freedom of speech and association precisely in the manner envisioned by the founding members of our nation …

As a result of his outrageous infringement upon Mr. Dorr’s rights, Sheriff Weber was ordered by Judge Bennett to complete a college level course on the U.S. Constitution, “including — at least in part — a discussion of the First Amendment.” Sheriff Weber is also required to file an affidavit proving his completion of the course with the court.
This is a huge victory for the right-to-carry in Iowa.
Congratulations are due to Paul Dorr and Iowa Gun Owners for this important victory.

Thomas Jefferson: Did He Suspect an ‘Obama’ Could Become President?

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?


Obviously, Tom was a man ahead of his time.

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?

Especially read the last quote from 1802.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in
Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
oe-half the wars of the world.
I
predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.
No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.

Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:
‘I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties
than standing armies.

If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation,
then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property -
until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.’


WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!!
Or we could start to do what Tom’s own generation did, and we could live LIBERTY better, and leave a record of our own history for future generations to emulate.
By God’s mercy and great grace we could start by praying and seeking His face and repenting and believing that God is the One whom we have offended  when we eradicate inalienable human rights from the people.

Reform U.S. Congress 2011! Term limits 12 years, and back home to work.

Reform Congress…why not?  WE CAN MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN–WE ARE THE ‘SOVEREIGN PEOPLE’ OF THE U.S.A.  It is about us stepping up to the plate and saying no to CAREER POLITICIANS.

* * * * *

[THE "ELECTED" DO SEEM TO STINK AFTER THREE TERMS...AND THEY DO SEEM TO ACQUIRE IMMUNITY TO "WE THE PEOPLE...", U.S. FOLKS AT HOME--WITH COMMON PROBLEMS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.]

* * * * *


Get Senators Franken or Klobuchar to introduce this bill in the US Senate and John Kline or Keith Ellison to introduce a similar bill in the US House.  These elected citizens could become American heroes, begin term limits, keep career politicians out of Congress and save money.

“The Congressional Reform Act of 2011″.  It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The U.S.Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress – the ‘millions of dollars’ entity, that represents us.  It needs reform.

“The Congressional Reform Act of 2011″

1. Term Limits: 12 years only. [ A, B, or C below.]

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

[ Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serving their term(s), then going home and back to work.]

2.  No Tenure /No Pension:   A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:  All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves into the Social Security system, immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, as Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

******************************************************************************************

[The American people did not make this contract with congress, congress made these contracts for themselves.]

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned  citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

Amendment  28:  Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the  United States .

“When people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty”. –Thomas Jefferson

Instead, use an official Minnesota form of  ‘Health Care Power of Attorney’, and give this signed

form only to trusted members of two generations, your generation–a sibling or relative or friend;

and also to

your children’s or grandchildren’s generation.

Do not give this signed form to a clinic,  doctor or to a hospital before surgery, at the hospital staff’s request.  Keep your ‘staying alive’ power within your family–as you choose.  You don’t know what you will die of so why would you try to predict your treatment?  No advance directives!

“I always want food, water, and oxygen delivered as needed, always!” say that, write that.

Then do give the name of the one or two people on your POA of Attorney for Health Care.  No fear. Question ‘authority’.

Wait for healing.

Most of us know we are not ‘vegetables’.  We look different!  Just being unconscious does not change your DNA to ‘vegetable’.

Any educated doctor knows this, and should not call you or anyone else a ‘vegetable’.   [See the new research on this topic!]

The treatment should match with the condition and be a health care solution, not a death warrant.  This is America with ongoing research.  If you already did give your life  power away, TAKE IT BACK, FIRMLY.  Also, by making a new form out with a more current date you have effectively made a new way of living your WHOLE LIFE.  Still, tell the place you revoke the old one, and don’t sign anything.  Just use your words BECAUSE the form you are being asked to sign may have small print that re-asserts the old form you are trying to REVOKE.  The date on that form may cancel your POA.  Stay strong.

Say no to coercion any place.  Your life is in your hands, and in the hands of those whose paper work you agree to, and sign.  Before signing anything, take a copy home and read it.  Also, when you do sign something, make sure you get A COPY OF WHAT YOU SIGNED.  It’s the prudent thing to do!  Your signature has power in it!

Abuse

‘The Greatest Danger to Many Elders’

An ominous danger lurks in the hearts and intentions of

many caregiving spouses, siblings and adult children.

[...and in hospitals, assisted living and nursing homes.]

‘Focus on the Family’ website.

Opal is 86 years old. Confined to a wheelchair after breaking her hip last year, she recently moved in with daughter Ann. Ann, who is 53, has troubles of her own. Her husband was laid off from his job last month, and her grown kids’ personal problems are always on her mind. Opal’s need for constant care and attention have stretched Ann’s nerves to the breaking point. Today, in a moment of frustration, Ann yelled at her mother and grabbed her wrists so tightly, ugly bruises formed where her fingers gripped the older woman’s fragile skin. Cowed by her daughter’s rage, Opal retreated to her room where she quietly sits slumped in her wheelchair. As tears roll down her cheeks, she wonders, how did her life come to this?

With old age comes more than the threat posed by household obstacles, slippery bathtubs and space heaters absentmindedly left on “high.” A more ominous danger lurks in the hearts and intentions of caregiving spouses, siblings and adult children.

In 1998, a study conducted by the American Public Human Services Association found that approximately half a million people were victims of elder abuse in their homes. But researchers admitted that because so much abuse goes unreported, the number was likely five times that. The Senate Special Committee on Aging estimates as many as five million elderly Americans are abused each year. As the first wave of Baby Boomers crosses the threshold into early old age, these statistics will increase exponentially.

According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, abuse falls into the following categories:

  • Physical. Inflicting, or threatening to inflict, physical pain or injury on a vulnerable elder, or depriving them of a basic need.
  • Emotional. Inflicting mental pain, anguish or distress on an elder person through verbal or nonverbal acts.
  • Sexual. Nonconsensual sexual contact of any kind.
  • Exploitation. Illegal taking, misuse or concealment of funds, property or assets of a vulnerable elder.
  • Neglect. Refusal or failure by those responsible to provide food, shelter, health care or protection for a vulnerable elder.
  • Abandonment. The desertion of a vulnerable elder by anyone who has assumed the responsibility for care or custody of that person.

Sadly, the majority of abuse is inflicted by family members – most often, a caregiving spouse. If there is a history of domestic violence, the chances of abuse increase. Strained or tense relationships between elders and adult children can also presage abuse.

Unintentional Neglect

Of the many kinds of abuse, neglect is the most common. Not all neglect is intentional. Elderly adults may be geographically cut off from adult children as a result of job moves. The transient nature of American society today makes it problematic for adult children to stay informed about their parents’ needs and physical circumstances.

Elderly adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s, isolated in their homes, may not remember to take their medications. Lack of access to transportation may prevent them from obtaining needed medical care. Many elderly people on fixed incomes are forced to choose between medications or eating and paying the electric bill.

Dangers Lurking in Long-term Care

For those elders fortunate enough to be placed in luxury long-term care facilities with well-trained, well-staffed Alzheimer’s units, abuse is rare. But for the elderly warehoused in barebones Medicaid facilities, neglect in particular is pervasive. Neglect comes in the form of residents consigned to tray chairs, where they languish for hours lined up in corridors. Overworked, poorly-paid staff may also manhandle fragile elderly bodies as they’re moved from bed to shower to dining hall. Bedridden residents may develop bedsores.

Recognizing Signs of Abuse

Signs of abuse are not always easy to recognize. For example, emotional and psychological abuse may be subtle. A hostile spouse, sibling or paid caregiver may withhold medication, food or hygiene. They may assault an elderly person’s identity by treating them like a child, threatening them or ignoring their requests for help. Signs of abuse include:

  • Bruises, pressure marks, broken bones, abrasions and burns.
  • Unexplained withdrawal from normal activities, a sudden change in alertness and unusual depression.
  • Bruises around the breasts or genital area.
  • Sudden changes in financial situation (indicating theft or exploitation).
  • Bedsores, unattended medical needs, poor hygiene and unusual weight loss.
  • Behavior such as belittling, threats and other uses of power and control by spouses.

Preventing Abuse

Preventing elder abuse begins with education. To be treated with dignity and respect is a basic human right. Families where slapping and hitting are considered acceptable forms of expression must be taught that yelling, pinching, punching and shoving are never acceptable. Neither is the withholding of food or medication. Senility is not a license for caregivers to ignore an elder’s innate personhood. Listening when people express their pain, needs and feelings is an act of respect all people are entitled to.

Care for Caregivers: Time off duty needed!

Helping caregivers with the emotional and physical demands of caregiving is one way to reduce instances of abuse. Offering caregivers even a few hours of respite each week can significantly relieve the stress that leads to abuse. Respite care is especially important for those caring for severely disabled elders and those suffering from Alzheimer’s and senile dementia. If there is a history of domestic violence in the family of an elderly person, caregivers should seek counseling to deal with underlying emotional issues.

Since abuse happens most often when the elderly are isolated, steps should be taken to increase the social contact for both caregivers and elders. Joining an Alzheimer’s support group, for example, allows caregivers to connect and vent with people going through similar experiences. Friends made through these associations can band together to create respite opportunities for each other.

No one person should be left alone to deal with an elder’s needs. Families should come together to seek loving, practical solutions for caring for an elderly parent. If the demands of caregiving in a home setting become too demanding emotionally and physically, families should consider moving their elder into a safer setting within a licensed long-term care facility.

Are you sure you don’t want to be ‘hooked up to a machine’…you are you know for surgeries, for

oxygen delivery, for food and water as well as for resuscitation.

Strokes take a little longer.  Give yourself a chance to heal!

*     *    *    *    *

Imposed death often means no food and no water, to save money.  Follow the money!

FOOD AND WATER AND OXYGEN CAN BE CONSIDERED TO BE ‘LIFE SUPPORT, AND WITH HELD’.   DON’T THINK JUST DRUGS ARE USED FOR LIFE SUPPORT.  FOOD AND WATER AND OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, ALONG WITH OVERDOSING OF DRUGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE TOO CONFUSED TO SWALLOW, THESE  BRING DEATH BY STARVATION AND DEHYDRATION AND SUFFOCATION–AND AN INABILITY TO CONVERSE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES AND PARTICIPATE.   ‘JUST SAY NO’!  DO NOT SIGN A DNR/DNI FORM [ MEANING DO NOT RESUSCITATE, DO NOT INTUBATE] .

CONSIDER ALL THE  ALTERNATIVES–LIKE GETTING WELL AGAIN!
