War on Women

I get so tired of President Barack Hussein Obama's rhetoric about the Republican's war on women.  I barely remember the bra-burning era, so I had to do a little research.

According to Wikipedia (which is a left leaning organization, so you lefties can't argue it - it's not known for it's friendliness with the Republicans), the hippy movement started in the mid-60's.

Let's look at who was president during that time, meaning which side was in control.  Lyndon B. Johnson took over after President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, so Democrats had control. He had control until the 1968 election, meaning January, 1969 it changed to Richard Nixon.  It became big (the hippie movement) in 1967, still under Democrat control.

Whenever you have a group of people who feel they've been slighted, it doesn't usually end just because a new party takes over.  President Nixon "inherited" (to use President Obama's rhetoric again) a mass disconnect with the female half of this population.

In 1967 they had a Summer of Love movement, still with Democrats in office.  If the Democrats are so pro-women and the Republicans are so anti-women, why did this movement start under the Democrats?

This article talks about the 70's as being the "wane" of the movement, meaning it was dying out.  This would be during President Richard Nixon's administration.  So, the bad, terrible, anti-women Republican party was in control, and the hippy movement start dying out.  Perhaps because people didn't feel things were so bad?

I'd just like someone to explain in specific examples just how the Republicans are anti-women.  And I don't want the excuse that they want to make abortion illegal, so that violates a woman's rights.   I tried to find what the ratio of boys to girls born in the United States is, and could only find this.  So, basically it's about 105 boys for every 100 girls. But how many girls are aborted?  If there are already more boys born, why would feminists want to abort females?  What rights do the unborn girls have?  If the Democratic party wants abortions to be available and paid for by the Government, aren't they anti-women?

Riddle me this...

No Easy Day - The Seal who is Writing about OBL

I can't stay quiet anymore.  I am a member of The Blaze.  They wrote a story that Al-Queda has posted the name and picture of the Seal team member who is writing his autobiography and what really happened when they took down Osama Bin Ladin.  There are several commentors on The Blaze who accuse this young man of being just in it for the money.  One comment said they thought SEALS never outed themselves, prefering to remain anonymous.

There are some things that are more important than life.  I don't profess to be as brave or selfless as a Navy SEAL, but I know a thing or two about serving in the military.  I'm sure this man, having dealt with the enemy, knows EXACTLY what could happen to him should he follow through and write this book.

Three years ago, when I started this blog, I cleared it with my husband first.  I foresaw what could happen, I played the what if game.  I knew that this man who usurped the office of President of the United States was capable of dastardly deeds.  I knew the black helicopters could come for me.  I felt sort of like the founding fathers (again, I'm not saying I'm that brave, just that I can imagine).  I pledged my life, liberty and worldly possessions to this fight.  In for a penny, in for a pound.  I'm ALL IN. 

I've been verbally assaulted by members of my community for my beliefs.  I've been targeted by an obvious supporter of Obama from the City of Garland Code Violations Enforcement division.  I haven't faced any threats to my life yet, unless you count a troll on the Blaze.  I was bullied by a member of my side for taking too harsh of a stand that threw me into a bout with PTSD (I don't listen to the President speak anymore, because he's such a control freak he throws me into PTSD, too).  I had to remove myself from that site for a while to recooperate.  A friend convinced me to go back, and I went back stronger.  I was blind-sided because I expected it from the enemy, but not a friendly site.  I won't make that mistake again.  I have my fire-proof panties on all the time now.  And I only write a little blog with very small readership.  I only expose what I can find on-line.  I don't have any insider information.

We are AMERICANS.  We are supposed to support those who risk their lives for our country.  It doesn't matter if you think this war is unjust.  They signed up to defend and protect this country from enemies both foreign and domestic.  Believe me, we have a lot of domestic enemies right now.  The soldiers/sailors don't pick their wars.  They can't say, I don't believe in that war, I'm not going.  At least not if they want to stay out of military prison for the rest of their lives.

This man knew when he publicized the fact that he was writing this book what he was up against.  I'm sure he doesn't want to die, just as I'm sure taking him out will be harder than the enemy thinks it will be.  I pray for him, and for his protection.  He's going up against two enemies: Al Qaeda and this administration.  For all we know, this administration gave him up so they could threaten him.  According to Obama, he's the only one who took OBL out.  Why would he want someone publishing the truth?

Some ideals are worth dying for.  Some things cause you to no longer remain silent.  If you think this is just like any other time in America's history, just like every other election we ever held, you are severely deluded.  We are fighting King George once again, only this time we somehow got tricked into electing him head over our own country.  I didn't even see a reason to get involved in politics until this man came along. 

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Abortions and Discrimination

I got to wondering what countries support government paid for abortions and did a search on line.  I came up with an article that was not what I was expecting to find.  It's from April, 2009.  It starts with this small paragraph:

"A study released last week by the Pew Hispanic Foundation says that nearly half of illegal immigrant households (47%) consist of couples with children. That is a greater share than for households of U.S.-born residents (21%) or legal immigrants (35%)."

It goes on to say that the reason Illegal "immigrant" households have a higher incidence of children in the household is because they can't afford to have them aborted.  Therefore, the government should pay for these abortions.  I wanted to ask the Hispanic community if this is true?  Is it because you can't run to an abortion clinic and get rid of that child?  Or is it because your faith says have children? 

This fight was lead by a latina, Jessica González Rojas with the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. So, really?  Do Mexicans who come here illegally with their 8 kids just want to abort their 9th?  This sounds just like the Margaret Sangor who wanted to get rid of black babies so she founded "Planned Parenthood."

If I were younger, and still able to have children, I would love to go (pregnant) to a Planned Parenthood center and see just how much counseling I got on adoption, of if they only told me how I could abort it.

I couldn't find any information on which countries fund abortions but I did find an interesting study linking abortions to breast cancer.  In China they found a 17% increase in breast cancer among women who had induced abortions. A Turkish study showed a 66% increase in breast cancer among women who had abortions.

As a Breast Cancer sufferer, I find this disturbing.  I also find it disturbing that the Susan G. Komen center would send money to planned parenthood, knowing this fact.  Do doctors want to drum up more business?  Another study done in 2010 linked abortions to breast cancer, and specifically said that the Komen people knew and didn't issue warnings to women.

After finding this article I had to stop: warning graphic content. Our tax dollars fund abortions in China.

I Will Not Stay Silent - Live Like You Were Dying

Tim McGraw came out with that song the first time I fought cancer, Live Like You Were Dying.  I remember it so well, because I was almost 41 and we were waiting for test results.  We both cried every time we heard that song.  I got the results the day after my 41st birthday.  I survived that round, with a stage IV diagnosis being lowered to stage III.

Now, at almost 49, I've been battling stage IV cancer for about 21 months.  I'm going to finally start living like I were dying.  My doctor flat out told me there is NO cure for stage IV breast cancer.  It's a case of going in and out of remission.  I was in remission for 8 months of the middle part of this fight.  Currently, the cancer is active.  So I can say I know what it feels like to feel like you were dying.  It's just a matter of time.

So, looking deep inside of me, what's the thing I would most want to do?  I don't sky dive.  I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, just like I see no reason to go down in a perfectly good boat (submarine).  So that's out.  I can barely do my housework, or sit at the computer for long periods of time, so I guess riding a bull for 2.7 seconds is out, too.  I live too far from my dad to go fishing with him, even though he's 80.  I do call my mom often just to catch up, even if it's only been a few days.

What I want most in the world, is for my children to grow up in the America I knew as a kid.  That America is slowly fading away, and I feel there's not much I can do to stop it.

I remember a simpler time.  Perhaps it was because I was a kid and a bit naive.  I remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school, and ending it with "Amen." Now God isn't allowed in school and the minority of the atheists rule over this Christian Nation. I remember learning the Pledge on Romper Room, as I ate lunch with the kids on the show who were eating their lunch.  They made them stop eating lunch on camera "because there were too many children in this country who didn't get lunch."  Really?  With all the government programs we have for Welfare and food stamps? Where do the parents spend the money if not on food?  I remember being taught by my parents that a job worth doing was a job worth doing well.  Where is today's work ethic?  A government worth scamming is a government worth scamming well?  If your unemployment runs out, don't try harder to get a job, or lower your standards so you can get SOME kind of job.  Just claim mental distress and get SSI.  You never get something for nothing.  All the other people who work are paying for your SSI.  What happens when the whole country, or a majority of it, is out of work?  You think the Democrats won't cut welfare if it means they lose some of their money?

I spent 4 years serving my country in the Navy, back during the cold war.  I had quit college to join.  I had been an art major, emphasis on commercial art, with a minor in journalism.  I carried 17-19 hour semesters.  I think 15 is considered a full load.  I applied for a scholarship because government aid was for people who made less than my parents.  Of course, they didn't make enough to send me to college, but they made too much for me to get a grant.  I wanted (like every kid) to go to a college that wasn't in my home town.  My home town had a fully accredited university, but I wanted out.  I didn't get out.  I went for a year and a half at the local university and lived at home. I worked as a temp at Proctor and Gamble hand packing cases while I waited for my enlistment time, because J.C. Penny's found out I was on delayed entry and fired me.  My job in the Navy was as an Ocean Systems Technician, Analyst.  No civilian equivalent.  Not too many submarines come up the Mississippi River.

When I got out, I got a job through Man Power doing a chemical inventory at the Proctor and Gamble plant.  It was a temporary job and I'm sure I got it because I was ex-Navy.  I had been the safety officer for my department.  Of course, that meant I conducted fire drills and sabotage alert drills, but it was experience.  They knew I would be thorough.  I was just making a bit of extra money before I got married, but I had a job.  Later, I would become a 911 dispatcher to bring in extra money.

I don't know where America went, or the America I knew.  It's been a creeping death, a slouching towards Gomorrah.  I was busy raising a family and not paying attention, as I guess most of America was doing.  The enemy snuck in, nose into the tent, and is destroying us from inside.  I can no longer stand by and watch it happen.

I don't really know what I can do that's more than I'm doing.  I canceled my Face Book page for a while, but friends back home convinced me to start it back up.  It bothers me a bit that when I logged back in, everything was still there from 3 years ago when I started.  It should have been wiped out and I should have had to start over.  It just proves that information is there forever.  So, I'll use that to my advantage.  I'll tell stories, I'll shine the light on things I know to be wrong.  I'll post on Face Book all the stories I can to try and convince my liberal friends and family that this is the wrong path.  We are headed to destruction and most are too ideological to even see it.  Let me tell you, being ex-military, you have no idea how hard I fought the belief that someone would run for President of the United States, that wanted to destroy the United States and make her into something more like Russia.  In my mind it was treason to even suggest it.  But I have to believe my own eyes.  I have to believe what I was trained to see, enemy tactics.  These are not the policies of someone who is trying to get this country back on the road to prosperity.  These are the tactics of someone who wants to lower us down to the standards of 3rd world countries in order to even the playing field. 

I will do what I can, for as long as I can, and hope that it makes a difference.  To save America is the only wish I would give to Make a Wish.

Agenda 21 and Imminent Domain

I heard on some show (possibly Glenn Beck?) about a Democrat who was against Agenda 21.  She had written a book, called "Behind the Green Mask: U. N. Agenda 21.  I decided to go ahead and get it from Amazon.  It's by Rosa Koire. 

It's been very eye opening, even though I've read about half of the actual Agenda 21 from the U. N. site.  The official Agenda 21 is all full of NewSpeak, meaning they twist words to mean something else and it almost sounds OK.

First, let me tell you what she says about herself.  She's been a Democrat since 1974.  She's pro-choice, anti-war, a feminist and gay.  She married her partner in 2008, a partner she had been with for 16 years.

I tell you that to show what we DON'T have in common.  I was raised a Democrat, but became Republican in 1984.  I'm pro-life, not necessarily anti or pro-war, it would depend on what it was for, not a feminist unless you consider that I choose to be a stay home mom (usually feminists are against you making the choice to stay home or not abort your baby) and definitely not gay.

But, Agenda 21 takes precedence.  I believe you can hold Ms. Koire's beliefs and still love America and the Constitution.  The extreme left would have you believe one can't.  Agenda 21 is not a Democrat/Republican issue.  It's plan is to take away every country's sovereignty away.

It's a very good read, and I highly recommend it.  As a capitalist, I won't give the whole book away because she deserves her money for a well written book.  But, I came to a part I just had to write about because it pertains to me.

I've written before about our city code violation personnel, who drive around in their little vehicles just searching out people who violate city codes.  I felt personally attacked by mine.  I thought (for the past 3 years) that I was singled out for my political views, which I'm not very secretive about.  When the health care bill got passed, we flew our flag upside down.  We righted it when Walker got elected and broke the super majority of the Democrats.  We didn't feel our country was out of distress, but we apparently have Viet Nam veterans who were having flashbacks because of it, and out of respect for them, just didn't fly it at all.

We got hit for our Crepe Myrtles not being trimmed 14 feet off the sidewalk and street. Who is going to need 14 feet above a sidewalk?  Not too many super tall humans walking down my sidewalk.  But we trimmed them.  We got hit on a day that saw 12 INCHES OF SNOW IN TEXAS for not having our house numbers on the back of the house.  We did, they were just hidden by the SNOW!  I had wooden planks and cinder blocks (in anticipation of building shelves in the garage - they were free and we had to take them before we were prepared to make the shelves) laying FLAT ON THE GROUND.  I did this because I didn't want to provide rodents a space to live.  We live near a green belt.  That's an area of the town that is allowed to grow trees, with a creek flowing through it.  I got hit because everything is supposed to be 6 inches up off the ground.  I emailed the code violation officer (silly them, they put their email address on the violation notice they send out) and explained that I was dealing with cancer, my husband was dealing with a broken leg and how in the world is that better than flat?  It would give the rodents a place to hide.  We didn't have a rodent problem until I complied and used the cinder blocks to support the planks and get everything 6 inches up off the ground.  Then I got a violation for my tree IN MY YARD growing through the fence, and hanging over the fence a bit.  She claimed that it was closer to the alley than a foot.  I was on my way to my car when she drove by for that one, and she did NOT get out of her vehicle to measure.  I guess they train these people really good, she can measure a foot with her eyes, while sitting in her vehicle.  I thought it had something to do with the fact that I said, really loudly, "Yes, all my stuff is 6 inches up off the ground, so the rodents have somewhere to hide."

I emailed her that time, too, letting her know if she didn't hit everyone on my alley, and get the utility companies to come out and remove all the destroyed old utility boxes that I have to drive around, I would sue for harassment.

But, now that I read this book, I see a more sinister plan.  Did you know if cities can label a part of the city as "blighted" they can come in and with imminent domain just take your house?  Like I said, I live near a green belt.  I also live near 2 low rent housing projects.  Ms. Koire mentioned a personal experience she had after being elected to a panel to determine "redevelopment" projects.  She said that one area listed as blighted and ready for the chopping block looked good to her.  It supposedly had lots of code violations (which they didn't mention had been taken care of) and lots of vacant lots that ended up being parking lots and school yards.  I also live 4 houses down from the high school.  There's the high school, then the football field, then a cross road, then I'm the 4th house.  So, now I have to wonder, are they setting it up to expand the school, expand the green belt and let everything go back to nature, or build low rent housing here?

All I can say is I'm PI$$ED.  I am already under water on my loan.  If they "justly compensate" me, it would probably be about $30,000 less than what I owe.  I owe $105,000 on a house that cost $97,000 three years ago.  I'd be willing to bet they would only give me about $75,000 for my house.  I've seen 3-4 houses go up for sale in my neighborhood and only one sold.  That's because the owners died and their daughter (who lives across the alley) took whatever was offered because it was owned free and clear.

So, now I have to wonder, is my neighborhood being targeted for being labeled as blighted? Every time I get a code violation from now on, I am notifying her that it has been fixed, in order to leave a paper trail so they can't say I never fixed it.  Did you know if you don't trim your trees (at least in Garland, TX), they can "hire" someone to do it and then send you the bill.  If you don't pay the bill, they can put a lien on your house until you DO pay it.
