U.S. MILITARY CUTS WITH GREATER RISK


Arlin has it right this will bite us in the behind in a few years!

A. L. Luttrell's avatarARLIN REPORT...................walking this path together

troops leave planeWith the U.S. budget and financial issues being as dismal as they are, the Pentagon is preparing to cut billions of dollars from its budget, reducing military spending, forces and weapons program.   The cuts, according to NBC will put American military forces to its lowest level  prior to World War II.

The budget cuts will come at a price according to U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel:  “As a consequence of large budget cuts, our future force will assume additional risk in certain areas,” Hagel said, citing gaps in training and maintenance and a smaller force that would be stretched thin if major conflicts broke out in several places at once.

I thought we were already stretched pretty thin.   Talk about a nation that sacrifices for the well-being of other nations.  We give up so much that our own security is of greater risk.  This can only place…

Carson must had read John Locke (who was also a physician)


Ben Carson: Americans Should Prepare to Defend Against Aggressive Government

Re-Post from charismanews 4:00PM EDT 7/31/2014 by Deborah Hamilton

Americans should be prepared to defend themselves against an “overly aggressive government,” and the Constitution’s Second Amendment recognizes their right to do this very thing. So says pediatric neurosurgeon, best-selling author, conservative advocate and nationally known speaker Dr. Ben Carson, who is no stranger to standing up for liberty.

During a recent summit, Carson called the right to bear arms “vitally important” and said any efforts to confiscate weapons are efforts that should never be allowed in America. Many who agree with Carson on this and other issues are hoping he will make a direct foray into politics.

Regardless of whether that happens, Alex McFarland, who will be hosting Carson as a headline speaker at this year’s Truth for a New Generation (TNG) annual apologetics conference, says it is the job of all freedom-loving Americans to take the same stand as Carson in defending our God-given liberties.

“Today’s public debate is no longer over what policies best advance life and liberty; today’s debate is over whether life and liberty are even rights that should be protected. This is both appalling and frightening. Our nation’s Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for liberty,” McFarland said. “And throughout our history, men and women have literally laid down their lives for freedom. And now, by allowing an overarching and over-encroaching government to exert more and more control over our lives, some are now saying that freedom simply isn’t worth fighting for. I disagree. And thankfully, millions of other Americans also disagree.

“At Truth for a New Generation, speakers like Dr. Ben Carson will equip Christians to recognize that our life and liberty are gifts from God and that they are worth understanding, worth defending, and worth fighting for,” he concluded.

White House Plans To Grant Citizenship To All Mexican Drug Lords, And Considers Farmers To Be Terrorists


This is all part of Obama’s plan to make America a third world country.

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Over the past few years, agencies under the Obama administration have been commencing full scale raids on individual farmers, as well as on family farms, under the auspices of non-legislative regulation created by the ATF, EPA, and FDA. These raids focused on several agricultural areas that included the sale of raw milk, grazing on federal lands, water collection and usage, and the raising of certain categories of swine.  On April 23rd however, the stakes got much higher for the individual farmer as the FDA is now using the terrorist based “Bank Secrecy Act” as justification to invade, investigate, and even confiscate the bank accounts of Americans in the agricultural business.

YOUR DYSFUNCTIONAL & OUT-OF-BALANCE GOVERNMENT


Good Post and what we have now with the Progressives (D & R) is what the founders were worried about happening.

A system  of checks and balances was built  within the Constitution to protect us against tyranny .

The Executive, the Judicial and the Legislative branches of our United States Government is a checks and balance system, right?   This C & B system really does work, when there are responsible people executing the responsibilities and duties of each branch.   John Adams said, “Only by balancing each against the other two could freedom be preserved.”.

The best example of a dysfunctional government is the one we have today.   The Legislative and Executive Branches are good at pointing the finger and giving the middle one to the other, but take little action.   When one is in violation of the Constitution and our laws and the other branches do not respond accordingly, holding the other accountable, then both or possibly all three are in violation, thumbing their noses at the…

The Obama Economy: Over a Third of Americans Dealing with Collection Agencies


This makes sense from what I see driving around Cleveland, Ohio USA. There are two America’s forming one the upper and upper middle classes and two all the rest with the elimination of the old middle class. The old middle middle class was forces out of their jobs in ’08/’09 as they were mostly over 55/50 and were able to survive selling off things and going on disability. This created the drop in the labor participation rate that we have seen from 66.2% in late ’07 to 62.8% at present. Those people not working but should be by age and ability went from 77.5 million in ’07 to 92.1 million today. These people are finding it harder and harder to survive and therefore falling behind on their payments.

Al Qaeda on the March Al Qaeda on the march

In the July 24 edition of The Wall Street Journal there was a commentary, “Wanted: Converts to Judaism” by the chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, Arnold M. Eisen. I thought to myself that this was an extraordinary time to be suggesting conversion to a faith that is literally under attack in Israel and being attacked by the reemergence of anti-Semitism in Europe. Here in America we are witnessing the most pro-Islamic and anti-Semitic administration in the history of nation.

In the wake of the Holocaust following World War Two what anti-Semitism existed in the U.S. gave way to an era of good will toward Jews. In Europe open expressions of anti-Semitism were out of favor. Eisen’s concern is the extensive inter-marriage between Christians and Jews in which Judaism is often abandoned in our historically Christian society. The news about Jews…
