Hi,
This blogger is sure Washington is enjoying the Olympics. It's keeping them out of the newspaper these days. Just what they like with election 2016 looming on the horizon. Looming in Washington is a full two years away. Just time enough for citizens to forget all the problems happening in their bailiwick
Washington doesn't want Snowden in the headlines because it reminds people that he discovered and told the truth about what the NSA was doing and their PEEPING TOM ACT THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL WINDOWS INTO AMERICAN CITIZENS' LIVES. HE'S AT LEAST IN A WARMER CLIMATE IN SOUTH AMERICA NOW IN CASE YOU HADN'T HEARD.
THE POLITICOS DON'T WANT LIBYA BROUGHT UP ON THE NEWS SINCE HILLARY CLINTON IS CLINGING WITH ALL HER MIGHT TO HER POLITICAL LIFE THAT IS WANTED BY NEITHER SIDE, HER FRIENDS OR HER ENEMIES. "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?" HILLARY MIGHT ASK AGAIN--WE DO REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE IN OUR EMBASSY DIED ON HER SHIFT AS SECRETARY OF STATE. NO MATTER WHO SHE CONJURES UP TO TAKE THE BLAME, THE "BUCK" STOPS WITH HER. IT WAS HER WATCH. DO WE WANT SOMEONE SO CARELESS OF HUMAN LIFE IN THE WHITE HOUSE ????????????? THIS BLOGGER SURE HOPES NOT !!!!!!!!!
WASHINGTON HAS SO MUCH HIDDEN UNDER THE STACKS OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS PUT OUT BY THIS PRESIDENT THAT CANDIDATES ARE HOPING THAT NONE OF THE REAL PROBLEMS COME TO LIGHT. THIS PRESIDENT REMINDS ME OF A CONJURER WITH MAGIC TRICKS HERETOFORE UNKNOWN IN THE CAPITOL OF MAGIC THEATER. CAPITOL FANTASY IS A BIG TIME THEATRICAL GAME WHICH IS WHY ACTORS FIND IT SO FASCINATING TO MEDDLE WITH. MAKE NO MISTAKE OBAMA COULD HAVE A GREAT ACTING CAREER. TOO BAD HE DIDN'T CHOOSE THAT DIRECTION FOR HIS SKILLS !!!!!!!!!!!! IT WOULD HAVE ENTERTAINED WITHOUT MUCH HARM. THE CONSTANT LACK OF REAL EVIDENCE OF THE PRESIDENT'S BACKGROUND WOULD HAVE SUITED AN ACTOR FAR BETTER AS WOULD HIS PERSONAL TENDENCIES TOWARD A MORE VARIED SEX LIFE AND USE OF DRUGS IN HIS YOUTH.
CAN WE FORGET OR FORGIVE ERIC HOLDER HIS FREE WHEELING ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS JOB ?????????? OR VALERIE JARRETT'S CONSTANT ADVICE AND THE PRESIDENT'S CONSENT ON PUSHING FOR MORE AND MORE RED CONTROL ??????????? OR THE CHICAGO POLITICAL TACTICS THAT HAVE CASTRATED WASHINGTON ????????????
CAN WE FORGET THAT THE NEWS MEDIA HAS BECOME THE WASHINGTON MEDIA AND THAT WE ARE SPOON-FED WHATEVER RECENT GARBAGE THAT WASHINGTON POLITICOS OF THE RED PERSUASION WANT TO DISH OUT OR THAT ACROSS AMERICA IS SEEN THE SPAWNING OF MORE AND MORE RESTRICTIONS ON AMERICA'S FREEDOMS WITH ONE TERROR INDUCED EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER ??????????
IS IT EASY TO FORGET THAT WASHINGTON ENVISIONS A CONSENT ONLY ELECTORATE AND IS BASHING DEBATE OR ANY ADVICE FROM OUR CITIZENS OR THOSE MEMBERS OF THE PRESS STILL WILLING TO PRESENT A DIFFERENT VIEW OF WHAT A FREE LIFE SHOULD COMPRISE ????????????
Perhaps Washington pundits are right - WHOOPS I MEAN LEFT - and our memories for CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF THE POLITICAL GENDER is short and OUR MEMORY OF WHAT A FREE NATION TRULY REPRESENTS is even shorter. If so then the placebos that Washington is offering will stand citizens in good stead. They will believe that all the RESTRICTIONS ARE FOR THEIR OWN GOOD AND SAFETY RATHER THAN THE POLITICOS' GOOD AND SAFETY. IT WILL COME AS A GREAT SHOCK ONE DAY WHEN THEY AWAKEN TO THE SHACKLES AND CHAINS THAT REPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT USES TO MAINTAIN ORDER.
THOSE WHO HAVE TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY REALIZE THAT OUR LIFE IN AMERICA HAS BEEN AS GOOD AS IT GETS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR RICH AND POOR ALIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN FACT THE POOR HAVE SUFFERED LESS IN AMERICA THAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD--BAR NONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR RECORD OF CARING BUT WE DO NOT HAVE TO ENSLAVE THE MAJORITY TO IMPROVE THE MINORITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR ALL AS FREE SOULS AND NOT ENSLAVE OR FORCE CHANGE AND GROWTH.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MAN IS INHERENTLY GOOD AS OUR FOREFATHERS KNEW WHEN THEY GAVE US AS CITIZENS AS MUCH POLITICAL STRENGTH AS THEY COULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT MAN IS INHERENTLY BAD AND HAS TO BE FORCED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND GOOD.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO BELIEVE------------THEY KNOW BEST----------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THAT'S THE KICKER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO DOES KNOW BEST ????????????
THAT'S WHY FREEDOM BECOMES A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE SO THAT EACH CAN DEBATE AND DECIDE WHAT IDEAS AND BELIEFS ARE THE BEST. WITHOUT THAT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, A GOVERNMENT IS SIMPLY IMPOSING ITS WILL ON THE PEOPLE AND DESTROYING ANY HOPE OF THE RIGHTNESS OF THEIR ACTIONS BEING UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED FOR A LONG TERM.
SO IN A SENSE MAYBE WASHINGTON HAS THE RIGHT IDEA FOR THE WRONG REASONS.
BECAUSE "THIS TOO WILL PASS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP THE RULE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS POST 188
Hi,
GIVE THIS PRESIDENT 'AN INCH AND HE'LL TAKE A COUNTRY!!!!!!!!
EXECUTIVE ORDERS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE BUT MOST PRESIDENTS UNTIL THIS ONE HAVE REALIZED THEY WERE ONLY SET UP FOR IMMEDIATE EMERGENCIES. THIS PRESIDENT HAS SIGNED A VAST NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS MORE EXCEPTING YOUNG BUSH AND FDR BUT A BOATLOAD MORE THAN ALL THE REST OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS !!!!!!!!! IT IS ALARMING THE WAY HE USES OUR HISTORY TO DEFEAT US !!!!!!! OR IS IT HIS SIDEKICK VALERIE JARRETT WHO POINTS THE WAY TO "GET HIS WAY".
WHEN THIS PRESIDENT IS HELD BACK BY CONGRESS, HE WRITES AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ANOTHER ITEM ON HIS WISH LIST. AND IF YOU READ THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, THIS CONGRESS HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB DESPITE THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES TO THE CONTRARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CONGRESS HAS STOPPED HIM ON MOST MAJOR ISSUES WHILE GETTING BLAMED AND ABUSED FOR THOSE THAT THEY COULDN'T CHANGE LIKE THE HEALTH BILL.
THOSE CONGRESSMEN (MANY NOW OUT OF OFFICE) WHO VOTED FOR THE HEALTH BILL CREATED THE MAIN MONSTER THAT OBAMA COULD NOT HAVE DONE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDERS. THE LAST FEW WHO CAVED SHOULD BE UNDER INVESTIGATION. WHO KNOWS WHAT THE SWEETENER WAS ??????????
UNFORTUNATELY THIS PRESIDENT HAS THE INSTINCTS OF A DICTATOR AND DOESN'T WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT CONGRESS IS THERE TO KEEP THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE FROM BECOMING A DICTATORSHIP BUT HE IS USING EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO CREATE JUST THAT. LIKE ALL DICTATORS HE 'THINKS' HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY AND LIKE MOST DICTATORS, HE'LL BE PROVEN WRONG.
BUT WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT???? UNFORTUNATELY, DURING THIS PRESIDENT'S REIGN, THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT CAN BE DONE. BUT, AND THIS IS A BIG BUTT, WHEN THIS CONGRESS HAS ITS ELECTIONS, THE NEW CONGRESS CAN START A PROCESS OF CANCELLING "UNNECESSARY EXECUTIVE ORDERS" AND TAKE THIS WET PEN TOOL AWAY FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND GET THE BALANCE BETWEEN THAT OFFICE AND THE CONGRESS BACK IN ALIGNMENT.
NO, IT WON'T BE EASY BUT THE PROCESS CAN START AND BE IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT DICTATOR THAT COMES OUT OF THE WOOD WORK. BECAUSE, TRUST ME, THERE WILL BE MORE, AND EVEN WORSE TIMES COULD BE AHEAD. THE COMMUNISTS DO NOT QUIT AND UNTIL THE WORLD BEGINS TO SEE THE REAL HASH THEY'VE CREATED, WE'RE GOING TO BE UNDER SIEGE BY THEM FOLLOWED BY A SIEGE BY ISLAM. TOUGH TIMES ARE AHEAD IF OUR LEGISLATORS DO NOT START FACING UP AND ACTING OFFENSIVELY RATHER THAN DEFENSIVELY. BUT BEWARE THE "REDS" IN CONGRESS WAITING QUIETLY FOR A CHANCE TO ATTACK FROM INSIDE THAT AUGUST BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know the framers of our Constitution were farsighted and created a document that recognized that if America was strong and rich, there would be enemies looking to overturn her government and loot the treasury like in the "olden" days.
The Founding Fathers recognized that we needed a FRAMEWORK THAT COULD THWART THAT KIND OF PLUNDER !!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE SETUP OF THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT: THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH (THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CRONIES); THE CONGRESS (WITH TWO BRANCHES WITHIN REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE AND STATE); AND THE JUDICIAL (THAT MEANT THE SUPREME COURT, THE HIGHEST IN THE LAND).
It's a great set-up and worthy of a great mind but nothing is impervious to tinkering and ultimate destruction. THE FRAMERS FIGURED THAT IF FUTURE GENERATIONS COULD NOT KEEP THE SMUGGLERS AWAY FROM THE GOLD WITH THIS KIND OF SET-UP, THEY PROBABLY DESERVED WHAT THEY GOT WHEN THEY LET THE 'WOLF IN THE DOOR'. (HEY, I LIKE EUPHEMISMS--SAVE A LOT OF WORDS)
Well, if you haven't yet discerned that our present executive head is a "WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING' THEN YOU PROBABLY DON'T SEE 'THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL' EITHER AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL 'PREPARE YOURSELF FOR SACRIFICE' RIGHT NOW AND STOP READING THIS BLOG.
VOTE IN A STURDY AND SENSIBLE GROUP OF MEN FOR CONGRESS.
YOUNG IS NOT THE KEY WORD. SENSIBLE IS THE KEY WORD. THEY CAN BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE AND MOVE TO TAKE AWAY ENOUGH EXECUTIVE POWER TO KEEP A *****SENSIBLE****** BALANCE BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND THE CONGRESS AND SUPREME COURT !!!!!!!! THEREBY THWARTING IMMEDIATE FUTURE THREATS TO OUR GOVERNMENT. STOP THE EROSION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTION AT ITS SOURCE--THE OVAL OFFICE.
YOU KNOW THIS BLOGGER CAN BLAT UNTIL HER'FACE TURNS BLUE' BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT ON THE PART OF AMERICAN CITIZENS TO TURN THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE AROUND. CHOSE YOUR CANDIDATE WISELY, SUPPORT THEM WELL, GET THEM ELECTED AND THEN*********MAKE SURE THEY DO THE JOB BY REMINDING THEM WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO ****CONSTANTLY AND CLEARLY ********** THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!! FIGHT FOR IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WITH ALL THE LEGAL RESOURCES SET IN PLACE BY THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS.
LET'S ALL STOP WHINING AND GET TO WORK NOW. THE COMMIES ARE !!!!!!!!

WE'RE NOT OVER AS AMERICANS. WE'RE JUST BEGINNING! POST 1857
Hi,
A little history lesson that may clarify the movement of the technological
revolution. Evidently, history buffs have changed much of the history of both the technological revolution and the industrial revolution but the facts are still out there--just a bit harder to find.
What has happened is that the Industrial Revolution has been expanded into three parts, the last being the third part and it includes the Technological revolution that we are now experiencing.
The Second phase of the Industrial Revolution now covers most of the change from our country being an Agricultural producing nation with small farms and hand machinery to a country working with power, power machinery (mechanization) and massive transportation so that it became commercial , large farms as survivors. The seed drill and tractor were the tip of the iceberg.
The move from agricultural jobs to factory or production work was massive and at one time three point two million were out of work which led to the Great Depression of 1929 and relocation brought massive change to cities and urban areas as people moved to the available jobs. WHAT DID AMERICANS DO??????? A LOT SUFFERED BUT THE REST CLIMBED INTO THEIR CARS, MADE THE TRIP, YOU WATCH OUR DUST. WE TOOK THE EXISTING JOBS, CREATED A TREMENDOUS ECONOMY AND MOVED INTO LEADERSHIP IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! HEY, THAT WAS US AND W PROVED OUR WORTH!!!!!!!!!!
Although this second phase is designated as 1870-1914, I believe we can see that the Great Depression of 1929 is certainly a product of the immense changes happening in the previous years.
The third phase which we are supposedly in today shows as part of its beginnings more efficient use of land, genetically engineered crops, and genetically modified organisms that were the outcrop of enlightened and expanded concern with science. Mechanical equipment became the toys. This was also the beginning of great expansion in needed technologies and medical exploration begun for two large wars and many small ones. A ride to the planets became a flagship of determination. Much of the research and expansion came at great cost and the invention of needed technological tools took off with the TV and the computer. That expansion is still going on today.
So, what does all this mean?
It means in the short term that we are part and parcel of a tremendous forward movement of the Earth's civilizations!!!!!!!!!!
AND LIKE A GIANT SNOWBALL, (APPROPRIATE WEATHER-WISE) IT KEEPS GAINING MORE MOMENTUM AND TAKING VICTIMS AS IT ROLLS.
WAS THE FIRST MASSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION PAINFUL?????????? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT WAS!!!!!!!!!! BUT LIKE GROWING PAINS: ENDURED BY MANY WHO SURVIVED AND THOSE WHO FLOURISHED.
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING, "GO WITH THE FLOW," AND THOSE WHO DID CAME TO BETTER TIMES REASONABLY QUICKLY. THOSE WHO COULDN'T DO THAT TOOK THE BITTER BLOWS OF LONG TERM UNEMPLOYMENT.
WHEN FOLKS SAY THAT "CHANGE IS INEVITABLE"--THEY AIN'T JUST "WHISTLING DIXIE," FRIENDS. AS LIFE MOVES INEXORABLY INTO DEATH SO CHANGE MOVES INEXORABLY FORWARD.
THOSE WHO SEE THE CHANGE FOR WHAT IT IS--INEVITABLE--AND IN TURN CHANGE THEIR TRAINING OR TAKE MORE SCHOOLING OR WHATEVER FOR TECHNOLOGICAL OPPORTUNITIES, THE CHANGE WILL CREATE PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS.
FOR THOSE WHO IGNORE IT OR DENY ITS PROGRESS, AND STAY STATIC WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEW WORLD AHEAD, IT WILL BE AN EXTREMELY PAINFUL TRANSITION BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE LOSS.
ANOTHER OLD SAYING: "TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN"!!!!!!!!!!
THINK MAYBE WE HAVE SO MANY "OLD SAWS" BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT OF JUST SUCH ADVERSITY??????????
I REALLY BELIEVE WE ARE BETTER PREPARED TO BE RETRAINED THIS TIME AROUND!!!!!!!!!!! WHY??????????
OUR TECHNOLOGY "TOYS" HAVE BEEN A REAL STEP TOWARD RETRAINING THE MAJOR POPULATION AND GENIUS AT WORK!!!!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT YOUR PHONE, YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR E-READERS, YOUR TABLETS. ALL OF THEM HAVE HELPED RETRAIN YOU TO USE TECHNOLOGY, AND HELP YOU TO WANT TO WORK WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S ALL BEEN OUT THERE SHOWING US THE WAY WE WERE GOING. THE TRAINS, THE JETS, THE TV, THE CRUISE SHIPS, THE SECURITY SYSTEMS, THE FUNNY LITTLE COOKING TOYS LIKE THE MICROWAVE. WHEREVER WE LOOKED, THE NEW TECHNOLOGY HAD BECOME PART OF OUR LIVES AND MOST OF US EMBRACED IT.
NOW, WE'VE REACHED THE POINT THAT HAS BEEN STARING US IN THE FACE. THE BIG CHANGES THAT TECHNOLOGY WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IN OUR LIVES ARE AHEAD. YOU KNOW WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!! WE'VE DONE THE REST OF IT. WE CAN MAKE THE CHANGES NECESSARY TO MAKE LIFE EVEN BETTER AND FIND THE NEW PATH TO LEARNING THE SKILLS NECESSARY "TO KEEP BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER." WE CAN EMBRACE THIS NEW WORLD AND MAKE IT OUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN AMERICA ACCEPTS THE TERMS OF CHANGE, OUR GREATNESS WILL AGAIN EMERGE AND ENLARGE. WE'[RE NOT OVER AS AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE JUST BEGINNING.
SO LOOK OUT, ENEMIES OF AMERICA, WE'RE GOING TO RIDE THIS CREST OF REVOLUTION ON OUR BOOGIE BOARDS AND DUCK THE BIG SURF CRASHERS UNTIL WE ARE ON TOP OF THE WAVE AGAIN. THEN WATCH OUR RIDE BECAUSE IT WILL BE LONG AND SURE AND SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE IS HERE TO STAY!!!!!!!!!!
