TAXES!

The liberal folks are always crying for more taxes. They believe this will solve all our problems, but they would be WRONG! The rich and the greedy corporations must pay their fair share. But I ask, what is their fair share. The majority of these "rich" people are all ready paying over 50% of their income in taxes. This is crazy! Where is the incentive to work hard if the more you make the more the government takes?

If we tax corporations more, they will just pass that cost along to the consumer, because they are responsible to make a profit for their shareholders.So who gets hurts by this higher taxation of corporations? The poor! It is called a regressive tax. An example would be, we tax the oil companies at a higher rate (because they are destroying the earth you know!), the oil companies raise their prices. So everyone is paying more at the pump, but it most hurtful to the poor. A larger percentage of their income is now going to go to filling up their tank. A necessity to get to work. They will also be hit by higher prices on food, clothes and shoes because of the higher cost to ship these goods. It hurts everyone to pay these higher prices, but if you are just scraping by, it kills you!

I don't understand why this is so complicated for half of our country to get! I am by no means an economist, heck I can barely balance my checkbook. I get it! Why can't others? What we have is a lack of common sense and wisdom. I hope that we can wake people up to the nonsense that is going on.

Please share your thoughts even if you disagree. I am loving this blog and sharing my take on the world, but I sure would love more feedback. I know people are reading, I've had over a thousand hits. So start chatting people.

Love to you and yours!

So funny, so sad, so true!

A Rambling Rant about Race Relations!

     Today I saw the movie "The Help".  It was excellent, almost as good as the book.  I can recommend both very highly.  After seeing the film, I keep asking myself, why  does the black community vote in the majority for Democrats?   It makes zero sense.  The democratic party was and still is in my opinion the party that wants to to keep the black man down.  They used to accomplish this by fear, intimidation, and good old Jim Crow.  Now it is by creating dependency by giving just a little bit of money to keep their vote, but not enough to escape poverty and violence and despair.  The big powerful government going to keep these poor ignorant people in their place.  It makes me fighting mad!  If you know me, you know that is not good.  I'd like to slap the next pompous self righteous liberal jackass that I hear call the tea party racists.
 
     How about treating all people regardless of their skin color with dignity and worth?  How about if we don't give piddling little handouts and instead give equal opportunity?  How about we have vouchers so the inner city children can get the heck out of their failing horrid schools and have a chance?  I am going to pray that strong men and woman of color reject the lies that bind and hold them down.    I am going to pray that more people like Herman Cain step forward and lead.  I think healing will only come in the area of race relations in this country when people start seeing the truth.  The Republican party is the party of freedom and responsibility.  We need to work at helping others to see this.  Please share your thoughts on this issue.

Book Review-"The New Reagan Revolution"

     I belong to a wonderful bookclub called the Conserva-chicks of Anoka County.  We read and discuss different conservative books.    If you are local and interested in joining, contact me.  I am hoping to get a link up soon, but the computer is not cooperating.  I have to wait until my technical guy can help.  He is busy working, going back to school and being the best daddy and husband ever, so I cut him some slack in the tech. department.

     Our current book is "The New Reagan Revolution-How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness".  It is fabulous!  Chock full of wisdom.  After reading it, I really wished we could reincarnate him and just re-elect him.  Obviously not gonna happen, so lets see if we can elect someone close to his leadership, character, and strength.   We can hold him and his principles up as a litmus test of sorts, for the candidates that are running.  

     The principles are Party Unity, Open Communication, Individual Freedom,  Free Economy, Responsibility to the Future,  Applying the Reagan Ideal of Working Together-Asking How do We Agree?, Stopping the Invasion of Private Rights, The Banner of Bold Colors-Being Bold about Beliefs, Reagan's Call to Arms-inform yourselves of the issues.  These are good and right principles that we as conservatives need to fall back on.  We need to be smart, courageous, and bold if we want to restore our nation to greatness.  I challenge you to read and explore, don't just take someones word for it. 

This speech gives me goosebumps!

Libya-Are we going to be better off?

I know I said I was going to write a book report on Michael Reagan's book, and I will later.  Right now I am interested in what is going on in Libya, so that's what I am going to blog about.   I am concerned about what exactly we are doing involving ourselves again in a Muslim country.  Do not get me wrong, Moammar Gadhafi is a brutal dictator, who is our enemy, and should be deposed.  My worry is, who will replace him?  Things are not going well for the United States in the Middle East.  We have spent millions of dollars and thousands of soldiers lives.  We have to win what we started, but we don't have to start anything else.  I am worried that the Rebels who will replace Gadhafi will be even more anti-American.   First Egypt now Libya, these rebels are not replacing their evil dictators with democracies, but rather theocracies.  Sharia Law is coming to a country near you!  We have a President who appeases these bullies and disrepects our one ally in the Middle East, Israel.   I am not anti-Islam, but I am anti people who want to wipe Isreal and the West off the map.  I'd love to hear others thoughts on this.  All I can say is Come quickly Lord Jesus, because things are going to get worse.

First Ever Giveaway!

To celebrate my first week of blogging I am having a giveaway! I've kind of been blown away by the amount of people reading. I had over 500 page views when I was expecting around 5! Very Exciting, but I want more comments. Sooo......I am going to be giving a $20.00 gift card to my very favorite store on the planet. The store that my sweet husband wishes would close its doors forever. The store where my blood pressure automatically lowers when I enter its magic sliding doors. Target! All you have to do to enter this giveaway is comment. I made it much easier to do so. You can just say hi, or comment about the blog. You can say that you hate everything I stand for and hope the magic doors at Target close on my big mean conservative foot. I don't care, just comment.

I will pick a winner tomorrow night by a random number generator, or maybe just by Kenny pulling a number out of a hat. I'll post the results by 10:00 PM Tuesday.

Now for some classic School House Rock,

I am not a racist, I just think Obama is an idiot.

One of my top gripes with liberals is if you disagree with their ideas they call you names! If you disagree with gay marriage you are a hateful homophobe. If you disagree with the President you are a racist. If you want to work on the national debt you are selfish. It makes me crazy! Argue your point with facts. I have yet to meet a Tea Party person who is a racist. Where are all the hateful people? The Tea Party cares about policy not skin color. I am bored to death with the media's coverage of Tea Party events, it is always the same drivel. Hateful, angry, racist white people who want to advantage of the poor. Really? Come on now! Enough is enough! Most of the Tea Party is made up of grandmothers.

My children have beautiful brown skin. I love them more than anything else on earth. I am not a racist. I just think Obama is an idiot. He has a worldview that is totally opposite mine. He believes that big government solves problems. I believe that big government causes problems. He believes the government's job is to take care of people. I believe that the government's job is allow freedom for people to take care of themselves. It is not about his skin color, it is about his policies!

I'll be singing this song this week!

Please dear God, let him run!

I have a serious political crush on this guy! He floats my boat. A straight shooter who has what it takes to lead this country.

Micah 6:8

Micah 6:8 (NIV)
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly[a] with your God

I take this verse from Micah very seriously. This is what God requires of us. He wants justice for the poor and oppressed, He wants us to show mercy to the suffering. I think conservatives are often portrayed as greedy,heartless, selfish people who don't care for the needs of others. It is just not true with the majority of us. I believe God has called us as people,as churches to love and help others. I believe that governments can't and won't ever be able to do the job that followers of God can. We can throw millions upon millions of dollars into government programs and there will still be poor people suffering.

It is just too easy to say Oh, let them get welfare or food stamps or whatever and not have to invest personally in peoples lives. It is also not the most loving, just thing to do to create a generational dependency on government help. How is that helping? After years of government handouts, we still have housing projects in every city that are full of poverty and despair. We still have violence and drugs and death for a whole generation of young black men. The government helping people just doesn't work.

We need to as individuals, families, and churches come along side of the poor and suffering and help them help themselves. We need stop giving people money and start giving them jobs. You don't work, you don't eat. We have enough projects in this country that we could employ all of these people. Even if it is just picking up trash or painting buildings. We of course would have to fight the ding dang unions, who would complain about non union workers. So be it. Lets show real mercy and hope and compassion to the poor and oppressed. Let us take back that job from the government ,because they really really suck at it.

Some Tim Hawkins

I have posted this before on Facebook, but it bears repeating. He cracks me up.

This is going to be fun!

So my first day blogging, I get 98 visitors. Yeah! I am amazed by how many people are feeling the same way I do. We are frustrated with the direction this country is going. We want America to remain a land of opportunity for our children. We want our elected officials to be servants of the people. We are not racist, we are not haters. We have a voice and we are going to use it.

I am digging into the candidates who are running right now. I want to look at their voting records. Most importantly, I want to see if they DO what they SAY they will. I'm sick of talk, I want actions! I have to say that if I could have my pick of anyone right now, my dream ticket would be Governor Chris Christie for President with Michele Bachman as Vice President. Things change though. Michele is coming out strong. She is proving herself a fighter. My opinions are still being formed. Isn't it exciting that we have some good options? I will always be a Bobby Jindal fan, I just don't think he is quite ready for the big show yet. Rick Perry is great, I just need to learn more. I think we can all agree that whoever wins will be better than the Bozo who is there now.

I hope this blog is a place where people feel free to share thoughts and opinions. I've made it easier to comment. You just have to put your name or anonymous. You no longer need an email address. Also if you haven't already, please take part in my poll.

Love to you and
Hope for Change in 2012!
Laura

Worth watching I think.

A beginning

I feel the need to start a blog so that I can have a place for my rants other than Facebook.  Half of my Facebook friends are liberals and they don't really want to read what I have to say.  It is going to get ugly in this next election cycle.  I need to vent but don't want to offend.  I hope I'll have a few readers, but if not this will be just for me.  The goal is to post conservative policy, election news, ideas and moods around the country and whatever else catches my eyes and ears. Enjoy my friends!
