Time to go

Yesterday, Former Presidential candidate and current US Senator John McCain said the US should consider Bombing Syrian Military targets. Why? Because the war crimes against their own people. Following that logic Great Britton should have come in on the Confederacies Side and Bombed Washington DC and taken out Union forces to stop Sherman’s march to the sea. We should be bombing China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, most of Central Africa, Venezuela, Columbia, and many other areas of the world.

Jay Carney the Press Secretary for the President was asked when the last Al Qaida member was killed in Afghanistan. He replied April 2011. Since then 466 US soldiers have died and scores more injured.

I served in two of our most recent wars, I was in the military for 21 years, I supported both wars at the time. Now I think it is time to go. We have spent Billions and Billions supporting the propped up unpopular and ineffectual government of Afghanistan for far too long.

Recently terrorists in Afghanistan desecrated the Koran by writing in it to send messages to other terrorists in our custody. When we discovered the desecrated Korans, we could not give them back, we could not allow the prisoners to have them and they were considered desicrat3es by Islamic law. So we burned them. Now our soldiers are being killed despite the incessant groveling by our government. Tell Afghanistan. Sorry we tried. You insist on being 7^th century savages. We are out of here. Pull out every last troop, take every last thing we can that is our and destroy the rest so no one can use it. Let them kill themselves I no longer care.

Wisdom from Our Founders that is a Beacon of Truth Today

The Declaration of Independence:

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Hope Cash and Jobs

A little while ago I saw a quote on facebook that I thought was funny.

“A decade ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs. Now we have no hope, no cash and no jobs.”

I thought that was a little pessimistic, but a very good play on words.

Now I see it as a commentary on the 2012 election.

President Obama promised us Hope and change. I saw a lot of change I didn’t like and lost hope.

Now it is looking like the choice in 2012 will be either Obama – Romney or Obama- Gingrich.

I have no hope that anything will really change with any outcome from these contests.

I am now pinning my hope on Congress. I see that as our only hope since the only viable candidates regardless of party are big government progressives.

What is our motivation?

     This January begins our 18th year of our Home School journey. We have three High School graduates and three to go. Of the three that High School graduates two are in college working towards their degrees and on has graduated from college.

     If you would have asked me last month I would have said yes. Now I am not so sure.

I am reading “When I rise up” by R. C. Sproul Jr. and it has really got me thinking. So first I need to start at the beginning.

     We started in Japan where we had a bad experience in the DOD school. At first we were only going to Home School while we were in Japan. We used a complete prepared curriculum. I would have to say it was a failure by all standards. Our daughter studied to pass the test at the end of each unit and then do a data dump. She didn’t enjoy it and we didn’t see any point n continuing. Our goals were wrong and our heart was wrong.

     We moved to Florida and found the state if the public schools even worse than we had in Japan so we continued until we were to leave there. Surely the Schools at our next duty station would be better. We were still doing it for the wrong reason.

     Then we moved to San Diego and discovered we really didn’t want to send them there either.

We had received a lot of grief from friends and family over the years and it was hard, but now we were dong t not because of we didn’t want to send them to public school but because we thought it was the right thing to do. We were judging our success by what the world told us success was and continued because that is what we were supposed to do.

     Why do care what other people think about our Home School? What is my goal? Why do we do it? Those are hard questions and I am really struggling with the implications of those questions. My younger three are totally different in their needs and learning styles. We are struggling to fit round pegs into square holes and banging our heads against walls.

     Now what? Do we want to raise kids that can ace the SAT or raise Godly young women. What is more important? Learning to speak Latin or learning to be a woman of character. Should they go to college or should they prepare to be Godly wives and mothers.

     I am struggling and I am trying to figure this out. I want to do what s right not by the world’s standards but by God's.

Mitt Romney…Democrat for President

     It has been years since I have called myself a Republican.

     I stopped sometime during the Democratic presidency of George W. Bush. After Bush the country was given the choice between an inexperienced senator from Illinois or a man who couldn’t even recognize himself in a mirror because he change who he was so often he couldn’t even keep it straight.

     This year the North Carolina Primary election will be held on May 8^th. That is six months after the Iowa Caucus. After 37 other states have held their Primaries. What choice will I have? NONE. The Nominee will already be picked and it appears that Mitt Romney has been anointed to be the sacrificial lamb led to the slaughter on the altar of moderation.

     In 2012 we will have the choice between a Democrat and a Socialist. Both are going to the same place, just at a different pace.

     When will republicans wake up? We they put forward “moderates” they LOSE! (Gerald Ford, Bob, Dole, John McCain.) The only reason “W” won was because he successfully fooled enough people into thinking he was a conservative and his opponents were worse than him.

     The only conservatives running for president are Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. If I had a vote it would be for Ron Paul, but since I don’t it doesn’t matter. Come November I will have the choice to vote for more and more government control or more government control. If that is my choice I think I will cast a write in vote, for myself.
