Michelle Obama and the Flag

Link to Michelle Obama video

Recently I saw a video that was just disturbing to me so I had to share it.  The video just shows how much Michelle Obama respects the flag of the United States of America.  Her love or dis-love for the flag for that matter.  The President on several occasions has shown his lack of respect for the flag that he represents as the President of The United States of America, now we have a lip reader that captures Michelle Obama showing how she feels.

The other disturbing thing about this video and is the approval of the President nodding to her.  He approves of what she is saying.  Once again another off script and off teleprompter moment in the Presidency of Barack Obama.  It took someone on Facebook to bring this up to me because the mainstream media won't expose this to the light of day.  The American people deserve to know Michelle and Barack Obama's real feelings about our nation and how they want to fundamentally change it forever.  Just another reason to vote Barack Obama out in November.

Michelle Obama's "All this for a damn flag" comment shows no respect for the flag of United States of America and what it stands for.  It stands for freedom, hard work to keep our republic free, and the people that gave their lives to keep us free.  Apparently Michelle Obama does not care about the freedom loving Americans and just cares to keep her lavish lifestyle in the White House on the taxpayer dime.  This November 6th it is time to send a message to Michelle and Barack Obama and to the American people that we are done with this administration of hating on the flag and our values that made our country great.

Make sure to get out and vote and share with your friends and family why we must change direction before it is too late.  We are a nation that has had it's struggles, but it is time to come together to fix it without the government taking over industries and taking our rights.  We still have the ability to vote and remove our representatives peacefully in our nation.  Use it before we could possibly lose it.  God Bless our flag and God Bless The United States of America.

Opt in or Opt out!

Recently the Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg got his wish to ban sugary drinks above 16 oz. These sugary sodas cannot be served or the restaurant can face substantial fines if they do so.  Now this is a great example of the government opting you in to their new law without you having any choice in the matter.  This is another example of the nanny state jumping in to save us from ourselves and treating New Yorker's once again as fools that cannot judge for themselves.

Now the good mayor of New York City finds it o.k. to give your daughters birth control on demand.  Now if you want to actually have control over the medications your child takes you will have to "opt out" of this program.  The irony is most schools make you sign a consent form to give your child medicine for headaches, but they will hand out birth control to your daughter's without a second thought.  You have to opt out to get control of your child's ability to get "free", which is another government handout, medication that can actually in some cases cause health problems without a parent's consent.

I just find this totally disturbing.  We do not teach our children in public schools to wait on sex at all.  We empower them with free condoms and birth control so they can run off and get some STD's or even pregnant since most children are not responsible enough to take the medication they are given behind their parents' backs anyways.  Why should we be surprised anyways right?  We have a nanny state that continues to give away our hard earned money on programs like this rather than try to teach some self control in our children's lives.

You can't get a soda from a restaurant that is over 16 oz. without possibly getting fined, but your kid can get free condoms and birth control on the taxpayer dime with no consent?  If you tired of our of control nanny state government then start to teaching your kids the right thing and vote out these controlling politicians that think you are too lazy and too stupid to take care of your own family.  I encourage you to go to the polls and send a message of we are tired of being robbed to pay for bad behavior of others and politicians this November!

Work Ethic...

In a nation full of welfare and entitlement I wonder sometimes where is the work ethic?  Work ethic was one of those great things that built The United States of America into the nation that people wanted to move to for a better life.  Now with have a nation of just getting by and where is the next entitlement going to come from.

Many people in this nation have decided to take the easy way out and give up and allow the government to step in and give them welfare checks, food stamps, free cell phones with free texts, and many other government supported programs.  These programs are not for free my friends.  Someone has to pay for all of the government programs and as the work ethic in our nation disappears it will be harder and harder to find someone to take their earnings to fund this type of welfare state.

Who will have the work ethic still to keep the welfare rolls going?  Will people with work ethic let it slip away because a government full of regulations and taxation keep taking other people's hard earned money? A government that continues to punish people for having a good work ethic with more taxes is going to be counter productive as some people will simply not want to move up in companies or start businesses due to the amount of red tape, regulations, fees, and taxes.

The government that we have now is a government of oppression that is so difficult to deal with that people simply give up and fall into the welfare rolls and stay there and what happens next?  Welfare becomes a generational problem.  Children and grandchildren see how people can just live on the welfare system and don't have to have any work ethic and just get paid to live.  We are allowing future generations to fall into the welfare trap.

We are a nation that was built on great work ethic and if you didn't have work ethic you did not succeed.  If you didn't work then you did not eat and you could not provide for your family.  We need work ethic and sometimes you need to give someone the "kick in the butt" they need.  The kick in the butt our nation needs is to the welfare system that we have here and allow people to keep the money they earn.  Spend the money how they see fit because they earned it and with that money in the economy people can get jobs and start contributing to our nation instead of taking it with entitlements.

God Bless our great nation in our deepest time of need for better work ethic.

Common Sense

Common sense is one of those things that is slowing becoming extinct in our society.  Once something that was used very widely in society has almost been exterminated by the government that continues to acquire power over the citizens of our great nation.

Common sense would say if I want to accumulate wealth and become financially independent I would need to make common sense decisions in my life so I can make money.  Unfortunately, common sense is not rewarded, but rather discouraged by an out of control nanny welfare state mentality in our state and nation's capitol.  You ask why is common sense dying off much like work ethic in our nation right?

Well let's look at our nation in terms of people having children they cannot support.  First, you would think "hey I can't afford kids so I better be careful."  Wrong!  Our government has created a system of giveaways for those that chose not to use common sense.  For example, let's look at W.I.C. which is government program to help mother's provide basic food for their children.  Well common sense would say in this situation if you can't even afford the basic foods and the government has to tell you what to buy then common sense is not something that is widely used in this situation.

Second, if you can't afford children you would think you would use some sort of birth control or protection in order to prevent a pregnancy that may occur because pregnancy and children occur from sex.  Unfortunately, once again people point at Planned Parenthood to help with this gap in our society that cannot use common sense, but as we can see more unwed mothers and more children in the government system.  If we continue to allow the government to be the provider and a "role model" for our children the welfare state will continue to spread and grow.

Finally, common sense if dying because we the American people are allowing it to die.  Once upon a time we would call out people that made judgement calls that were not good and either help them in our local community or get them the help they need to get back on their feet.  The American people have ignored what is going on around us and now we have an ever expanding welfare nanny state government the continues to take from the producers in order to comfort those that do not use common sense because our government steps into that role of a provider.  Once you get hooked on government handouts it then can become a generational problem.  People that grow up with it see it as a common occurrence and then get into a cycle.  The cycle of common sense not being used must stop.  It is up to all of us to make that happen.
