The Constitution and Bill of Rights are what give Americans freedom to do mostly what they would like to do, as long as a person does not infringe on the rights of others.

Warning: What you are about to read may highly offend you if you are catholic. Please understand that I grew up in the catholic church and most my entire family continues to identify themselves as catholic. I know there are wonderful catholic members in this nation and around the world (G-d assures us His people are in all churches), however the church itself is rooted in evil. I am merely attempting to explain how I arrived at this decision and encourage you to read my words with a critical and open mind.

Dr. Benjamin Carson Speech
I ran across this speech on Facebook. This occurred at the National Prayer Breakfast, Feb 7th, 2013.
Dr. Carson makes some amazing points about the current state of our country and offers some insight into what deep problems our country currently faces. Using his role model's (Jesus') words and wisdom he further sheds light onto the simplicity of the Lord's teachings and how they can help us find better solutions.
Education and spiritual growth are the reason for our country's past successes and we should continue to embrace what has lifted us before. He rightly points out how sensitive so many of us have become and how difficult it is for anyone to speak without offending others. True tolerance is about respecting other people's views that might not necessarily agree with our own.
What is most striking about Dr. Carson's speech is his continuing mention of working together, and not allowing issues to divide us. He acknowledges the importance of both American political parties but emphasizes their equality.
Dr. Carson's speech was refreshing and logical, as well as spiritually moving. Obama sat fairly still during the speech and at some points he actually seemed to look offended or maybe that's just what I saw.
I think most people are expecting this to go viral, as it should. It really is a must see and worth the time to listen and watch.

I Can't Say Moochelle Has a Fat Butt Anymore?
A recent article published by the Washington Post within the Style section criticizes people who have made fun of poor Michelle and her big butt. I guess its purpose is to make many of us feel guilty for pointing out the obvious since it's cruel and all.
Okay. Point made. No one, especially myself, can suggest that making fun of a person's appearance is not low brow and juvenile. What is missing from the article is a sense of humor. Everyone is made fun of for their appearance. This is not a Republican/Conservative/Liberal/Libertarian/Communist/Socialist thing. It's simply people poking fun at one another.
Seriously. Who here or anywhere hasn't been made fun of for their looks, appearance, clothes, hair, etc? No matter how beautiful a person is to one person, there's always someone else out there waiting to point out that same person's flaws.
No, none of us are going to "win people over" politically by cracking on someone's appearance but, that's not why it's done. Making fun of people this way is about being silly. Is there a democrat out there that hasn't made fun of Chris Christie's fat ass? I know I have!
No, it's not very productive to insult people this way but this is hardly an issue to get too worked up over. People need to lighten up.
The problem isn't so much that Michelle has a horrible body; she's not obese; she doesn't look all that bad but, she does have a few extra pounds and she has a habit of lecturing to everyone else about how they need to eat better. Some people are simply pointing out that maybe Michelle needs to walk the walk before she starts lecturing others on healthy eating habits. If Michelle were Republican no one, and I mean NO ONE would even bother to write about it being mean-spirited or try and make them out to be a victim of mean, childish insults. Instead, they would be writing exactly what I am -- chill out people.
All first ladies have been made fun of. Since the time I was very young, Nancy Reagan was made fun of for her horoscopes; Barbera Bush was repeatedly insulted; Hilary had her canckles; Laura got away fairly clean but definitely not in all situations; so now it's Michelle's turn. Boo fricken hoo.
Yeah, people make fun of her butt and guess what? There are plenty of people out there that like her huge ass. Just think of it like this libs....would you want to listen to Bush lecturing people on how to make a great speech? Would you want Chris Christie to give you information about saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats? How about Ron Paul telling us how to be a moderate? Yeah, I didn't think so.
No, people don't want to hear Michelle preach about healthy foods when we are also hearing about stuff like this:

No, people don't want to hear Michelle preach about healthy foods when we are also hearing about stuff like this:
First lady Michelle Obama ordered a whopper of a meal at the newly opened Washington diner Shake Shack during lunch on Monday.
A Washington Post journalist on the scene confirmed the first lady, who’s made a cause out of child nutrition, ordered a ShackBurger, fries, chocolate shake and a Diet Coke while the street and sidewalk in front of the usually-packed Shake Shack were closed by security during her visit.
According to nutritional information on Shake Shack’s Web site, the meal amounted to 1,700 calories.
Obama, who launched the “Let’s Move” campaign to combat childhood obesity last year, has previously admitted to having an “obsession with french fries,” which she says are fine to indulge in occasionally. “It’s all about moderation,” Obama told reporters.According to Politico she is not the worst eater in the world either. So there are both sides to every story. I guess it all depends on what you choose to see or not see. If you like Michelle, you're going to look for the good stuff she eats. If you don't like her, you are going to look for all the bad stuff and hypocrisy.
I was fairly alarmed by the article when I came across this:
For dinner at the amazingly delicious The Majestic in Alexandria, owned by Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve, the first lady had perfectly fried oysters, sharing some deliciously crisp fried green tomatoes that were served with avocado and corn salsa and tomato relish. The hanger steak came with fried onion rings and succotash, followed by strawberry shortcake.It is astonishing to me that the author seems to casually suggest oysters are considered a healthy-type of food. I cannot think of a more potentially dangerous food to eat. They are filled with toxins since they are bottom feeders. If they are not cooked while still alive, they decompose, leaving a bad taste in your mouth. I won't eat them. I will never eat them. This comes from what I learned in college and despite the crap you find on the internet, oysters are not safe. Just stay away from shellfish.
"Cooking is not preventive, boiling does not destroy the poison," says M. Rosenau in Preventive Medicine and Hygiene, page 826. He says that "the only safe oyster is one which has been protected from contamination with fecal pathogens for at least some months prior to harvesting," (page 822). "Typhoid fever and other intestinal infections (diarrhea, etc.) have been convincingly traced to infected oysters. They may be infected when dredged from sewage-polluted beds in which they live and grow," (page 823). Maybe the Japanese are right: eating raw shellfish is no worse than eating cooked shellfish!Even the Bible tells you not to eat these foods. Cooked or not, there is too much potential risk. Oh, and YES I am a proud vegetarian -- have been over 10 years. Not only are they not safe, much like pig meat, these animals clean our waters! Pigs, also considered bottom feeders, clean the earth. These animals are specifically designed for a purpose and that does not include eating.
Unclean water creatures lacking fins and scales: scaleless fish (catfish, eel, marlin, shark, sturgeon, turbot), shellfish (abalone, clam, crab, crayfish, lobster, mussel, prawn, oyster, scallop, shrimp), soft body (cuttlefish, jellyfish, limpet, octopus, squid), sea mammals (dolphin, otter, seal, walrus, whale).Remember:
Matthew 5:17.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill (magnify).
Anyway...Michelle is a big girl (LOL!). She can handle her own just like any other first lady before her. Making fun of her, criticizing her, or calling attention to her big ass is funny. So get over people. When a Republican is voted back in the White House after Obama, we'll have another first lady to poke fun at.

Trayvon/Zimmerman Case -- A Theory on "DeeDee" Witness 8
When something doesn't make sense, it's usually a sign that a puzzle piece is missing and you may simply not be aware (perhaps bias, perhaps lack of intelligence), or you are aware but are having a hard time finding out what that puzzle piece looks like and how it went missing in the first place. Sometimes puzzle pieces are just misplaced or not initially considered to be of importance. How many times have you seen a crime show where a small piece of evidence was just simply disregarded, then years later it turns out to be the only thing needed to solve the case? Some puzzle pieces are stolen, removed, or worse -- destroyed.

Zimmerman -- Still No Justice
Injuries: This photo taken by a Sanford, Florida police officer on February 26, after George Zimmerman shot dead unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, has been released by his defense team
When the story was released almost a year ago now, I immediately jumped on this story because ...well, it was popular, and it was evident that the liberals in this country are still out and about keeping racism alive and well in this country. My initial thought was Tawana Brawley.

Guns -- My Response
Well, I have a friend who posted something on my Facebook wall tonight and it most certainly inspired me to respond. However, I must note that the response I posted here is a little "fixed up" in that I corrected some grammar and spelling. I will start by saying that my friend is fairly reasonable, not someone who is out to take everyone's guns but, I do believe a bit naive. He found an article that was written by someone else and the author is unknown but, it also appears to be fairly rational however you'll have to read it for yourself.

Facebook Trolls
A few months back I ran into some interesting characters trolls on Facebook. I was visiting a page that was set up for an event that happened to have a conservative bent to it. While commenting and meeting new friends, we were somewhat "attacked" by a group of trolls who were determined to shut us up. They were relentless in their cause of pushing forth propaganda and insulting people who supported the page. I was rather confused because you would think that if there is an event you don't support, a normal person would probably just ignore the page altogether or maybe make a nasty comment and leave.
Once I started clicking on these troll-files, I discovered that most of them had either just been created, indicating that they were open for the purposes of insulting behind a fake account, while others were actually pages that were formed for the purposes of trolling on Facebook. Some of these pages were completely devoted to taking screen caps of various posts that included pictures or statuses that they didn't like and then immediately followed by their own comments that contained vile words, anger, insults, and sophomoric attempts at comedy. All of them were obsessed with a new word they created, "teabilly" and it appears as though their main course of action during their troll-posts was to use the word "teabilly" as many times as possible. Another noteworthy characteristic concerning these screen-caps that were posted on their pages where other "friends" could laugh, like, and pat them on the back, was that any responses to their posts were conveniently omitted. Their insecurity shows through like a bright bleach-spot on a pair of new, black pants.
Some of them even went so far as to seek out my name and find by blog page that I have listed on Facebook. After they commented on one of my posts, they immediately screen-capped the information, ran back to their page, posted, and waited for their sycophants to congratulate them on their amazing ignorance. What they did not post was my response and honestly, I can understand why. Obviously they were embarrassed of someone being able to point out their absurd conclusions. Also when I checked the other conversations they screencapped and posted, I found that absolutely none of them included the responses.
I cannot help but pity these people. Apparently they are so confident in their beliefs that they have to hide behind fake accounts, fake names, and resort to silly insults in order to feel good about themselves and their spiritually arrested state of development pertaining to their philosophy. Their pages are filled with displaying their own hatred yet, they project this on to anyone who disagrees with them. You would think they would notice the irony themselves but, no such luck.
Here is a typical conversation among them and notice how they admit to being trolls, as if it were a proud label to wear:
I would never suggest that there are not conservative trolls, however I do not see them making pages where they need to show off their so-called talent for insults and hatred. Mostly they just stick with posting on other pages without needing congratulations from others constantly. I do some know some conservatives who have had to open additional accounts for fear their real accounts would be banned but these were people who were on conservative pages. They were taking precautions due to the troll activity. Trolls actually report people they offend. The liberal troll is not interested in any type of debate; they stick with insults and spewing hate. If you look at the pages they have created, they do not welcome anyone that disagrees with them however, they are quick to point out the intolerance of others if they themselves are banned for trolling.
What struck me as being most disturbing is the fact that these pages are updated daily and constantly. I'm not sure any of these people have jobs. I myself have made screencaps and posted things similar but, I have never found myself doing this day after day and actively seeking out people to insult and berate. The internet is filled with political forums where people engage in hyperbole and political discussions. The people who visit them are aware they will be challenged and insulted from time to time but, when you are just going around to pages on Facebook where you know you disagree with them and have no intention of asking questions or engaging in debate, where your only purpose is to insult a group of people and act like a bully, sceencap, then post to your page in order to feel better about your life, well...I find that to be truly sad.
Unfortunately, with these people there is no reasoning with them. They are most likely unemployed, miserable, insecure, and like causing disruption because that's probably all they have ever known in their personal lives. It's hard to ignore them sometimes because nobody wants to look or feel like a push-over but, for me, if I want that type of flame throwing I just make my way over to a few political forums that I am registered at.
Lesson -- Debating is great. Disagreeing is fine. Spewing hate, vile, and taunting while hiding behind a fake persona is just plain sad.

Let the Left Practice What They Preach
So the left wants to take our guns away so our children will be safe and magically free from harm. They laugh at the notion of having armed guards posted inside of schools. Does this mean that Obama's children will also no longer be protected by armed security guards? Interesting that I don't see this anywhere in the news. I guess what's good for our democrat leaders is not so good for the people they supposedly represent. Until these "leaders" start practicing what they preach, I would appreciate if they would just STFU already with their fake emotion and outrage.
Here's a list of some things the left needs to stand by:
No democrat shall be protected by the government. No guards, no more secret service, no security systems, and no protection for their families. They will have the option to call 911 if they find themselves in trouble.
No private healthcare for the left. They must submit to government care ONLY. They will have no right to appeal decisions made by the government concerning their care. If they are elderly or sickly, they will be required to submit themselves to euthanasia.
NO more rich liberals. All far-lefty libs need to give their excess money to the poor and spread their wealth around. All should immediately write checks to the government in the exact amount of their savings, pension, investments, and anything else that gives them wealth.
All libs need to encourage, if not outright demand that their children be homosexual. They themselves need to engage in homosexual sex as well. It is important for the lib to have first hand knowledge and understanding of what homosexuality is as well as raising homosexual children.
They must engage in limited free speech. Absolutely no jokes, no politically incorrect statements, and absolutely no phrases, speeches, or written materials that could be considered offensive to anyone. If they can't say anything nice, they must force themselves not to say it at all.
No war. No fighting. No violence. All of Hollywood must remove any and all traces of violent films. They shall not be allowed to make any more films that depict using guns or weapons of any kind. All actors who have appeared in any violent films are no longer allowed to receive any type of residual income profiting from these films. If it can be proven that their original profit from these films was used to purchase things like their house or car, they shall be immediately confiscated and given to the poor for housing and transportation. The dems must immediately pull our troops out of every military operation across the globe.
Far lefty's will also be required to give their homes up to the American Indians, after all we did take their land so it should be immediately given back and they must have a smile on their face while doing so.
All females who are liberal must be on birth control and if they happen to conceive they must submit themselves to having an abortion. According to them this is just a small procedure that has no enduring effects. They will have no need for children anyway since they will no longer have homes to house their children.
Liberals who do find homes to live in because they are American Indians, minorities, or some other class of "victim" will be required to live next door to convicted pedophiles and/or other types of rehabilitating felons.
It's time for the left to practice what they preach, no?

Dear President Obama
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
” We’re no longer a Christian nation”
” America is arrogant”
– (Your wife even announced to the world,” America is mean-spirited. ” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said,” America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle…
Sincerely,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
” We’re no longer a Christian nation”
” America is arrogant”
– (Your wife even announced to the world,” America is mean-spirited. ” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said,” America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle…
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
