SNOWY DAY IN FT. HOOD

Greetings, I have been gone too long. It is hard to get time to blog when traveling and limited internet. I am sitting in my room at Ft. Hood today, watching the snow, yes watching the snow outside. It is a heavy wet snow. The ground is warm enough that the roads are wet, slosh in low areas and snow on the grass and trees. Actually quite beautiful if I was up North, not what you expect in South Central Texas. The Post has closed down except for essential services. The DFAC (dinning facility) close to me is only about 1 ½ blocks away, walked there for lunch.

I did not get to make any of my appointments today or see the people I needed to, should not have any real impact. Will be a full day tomorrow trying to be where I need to for Wednesday and make up for today.

Bloomberg is reporting Consumer Confidence is down to a 10 month low of 46, it was expected to be 55 at this point. Stocks fell and Treasuries gained after the confidence report also showed attitudes about current conditions fell to the lowest level in 27 years and the outlook for wages dimmed. I am so glad we keep spending billions of dollars to fix all this.

Climate Change, or the Global Warming Farce! It seems Al Gore and his pet making him rich project continues to run aground. A big Climate Scientist has recanted his paper on rising ocean levels. Seems he has now found mistakes in his calculations. Senator Inhofe is calling for Al Gore to come back and testify about his film and accusations. It seems that since all the emails came out showing that many of the studies were flawed, they have to re-look at their figures and admit they don’t really know what is going on. Especially when you look at the record winter the North half of the planet is having. Of course their answer is that Global Warming causes increase in the winter precipitation, yea right. Continue to write, call, or email your congressman and senator to vote against any climate change bills currently in the system. These are only tax and control bills to further put us under government control.

Health Care: President Obama has put out his version of the Health Care Bill, it is more taxing, still has abortion funding and cost will be about one trillion dollars. There should be no funding for abortion by federal funds, nada!! Any taxes or fees will be passed on to consumers so this will tax all people, which is against what President Obama promised. This bill needs to be put in the shredder and start over. All the earmarks, pork, favors, bribes, etc need to be taken out. Several simple things could be done to reform health care, TORT reform, no cap on coverage, no cancellations and no pre-existing conditions. Portability from state to state for policies. We cannot take out the business side of health care, insurance companies, hospitals, physicians, clinics need to be allowed to make a profit. The government does not know how to make a profit, they only know how to spend. Call, write, email your congressman and senators and tell them not to support this bill but to start over.

Want to make jobs, bring economy back? Stop deficit spending! Stop taxing! Call, write, email your congressman and senators, tell them to STOP THE SPENDING! We cannot run our house or business the way the government is. They should take the money that has not been spent in the stimulus bill and put it back, and not use the TARP money that is almost all repaid for anything! We could strengthen the dollar and bring the economy back if they would stop spending and show restraint. We have plenty of government programs, more likely too many! We need less government, less taxes, and people, businesses, corporations will spend more money and create jobs. All the president and congress want to do is spend money and grow government. We need to let them know we want them to stop and will vote any of them out that don’t! We need term limits, stop career politicians!!! It was unfortunate that Senator Kennedy and Representative Murtha passed away this year. I know it was very sad to their families. But we all start dying the day we are born. Now new people are coming into the seats they held for so long. We, I say again We need to change politicians, and change the way they do business. If we show them we are serious we can bring this country back to prosperity.

Tea Partiers, they are not bad people like the major news media would like us to think. They are everyday people from all walks of life who are tired of the way the politicians are running our country. They are not violent and only want to be heard. The Democrats are running scared and the only way the liberals know how to fight when they don’t want to defend there out of control policies and spending is to personally attack others.

Islamic Terrorist: We are in a battle for our lives, literally!! This battle is not going away. Unfortunately the current administration want to water down the issue, treat these terrorist like common criminals. The published account of the Ft. Hood shooting does not address the Muslim background of the shooter. The jihad act he took. They now have two interpreters hired by the DOD planning to poison food supply at a base. The Christmas underwear bomber, treated like a common thief, given Miranda Rights, stopped talking until his parents got him to cooperate. They will keep coming until they are stopped. We are their enemy because we are not Muslim and do not believe like them, we cannot befriend them.

We need to be strong, stick to our beliefs, understand what our founding fathers wanted and stick to the constitution. We need to stop holding our hands out to the government and expect them to take care of us. We have to be allowed to fail, we have to be responsible and take responsibility for our actions. We need to spend our monies on appropriate things, if we cannot afford something, save for it. It is not the governments responsibility to provide for us when we have not money left after getting huge plasma TV, latest cell phone, tattoos, gold all over, expensive car and cannot pay our bills or medical costs.

What do you think?
