I just put this together & I thought that I'd share it here.

Young Illegal Aliens

I need some help here friends making my mind up on this illegal alien debacle that Obama has set off. Before we get going let me state where I stand on immigration into the United States. I'm all for controlled, legal immigration. Immigrants throughout the history of our great country have made huge contributions to our society. In fact, unless you're a descendent or a Native American you've either immigrated here yourself or are a descendent of an immigrant.

Just as I'm for legal immigration I'm adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. Right now illegal aliens are wreaking havoc on our welfare system, taking badly needed jobs from citizens, & causing environmental damage on the border states. In addition illegal immigrants are being used at an ever increasing rate to smuggle drugs into our country which fuels even more violent crime, human trafficking, & a host of other horrific problems.

Now here's where I need your help. I'm trying to make my mind up on the big illegal alien debacle going on right now with young people. Obama by executive decree has basically ordered the stoppage of young illegal aliens below the age of 22 if I remember right. The problem I have with Obama's decree is that I believe that it's nothing more than an election year ploy to try to get the Hispanic & Latino votes. In that sense the decree is wrong.

I feel that the best thing to do here would be for Congress to set up a program (groan) that would allow young people, or anyone for that matter, that has been here in the USA since a certain age, say younger than 16 just guessing, to apply for citizenship without the fear of being deported. I know that this sounds similiar to what Obama is doing but I truly feel that the issue of young illegal aliens needs to be done constitutionally which means that Congress needs to address the issue, write the rules, assign departmental governing authority, & then fund it. I'm afraid Obama's way of doing it is unconstitutional (as usual) & Obama is creating a bigger mess then he claims to be cleaning up just to secure votes.

Now do I believe that a young person here illegally should be summarily deported if they've been in the USA since they were a child & have no serious criminal history? Not really, no. Let me say why. Many of these young people may not know that they are here illegally as many of them have been here since they were just children. Loading them up & sending them back to the country they came from could at the very least be a huge shock to them. Many of them could even very well having a hard time surviving as they could very well be seen as outcasts & have a very difficult time finding income, other than submitting to human trafficking, thus jeopardizing their very survival.

I'm sure you've heard the saying that "you should walk a mile in another person's shoes before judging them." That's what I'm trying to do here by putting myself in their situation.

Suppose it was my Father rather than my Grandfather that emigrated here from Poland. Also, instead of coming here legally through Ellis Island he managed somehow to sneak in. Now my Father is here & even though I would have been born in Poland my parents brought me here as a young child. I pretty much know very little of my homeland other then what I've heard my family talk about it around the house. I also have not a clue I'm not here legally. After all I attended public school here all the way from kindergarten up through graduating as a senior. English is my primary language and I am not very fluent in our native tongue as my parents try not to speak it around me very much because they want me to know the language that Americans speak because it will help me integrate better. What do you think would happen to me if all of a sudden I find myself in custody for whatever reason, doesn't have to be a serious criminal charge, it could be something as simple as an immigration sweep, & I'm on the next flight "home" to Poland? For me that is not a pleasant thought.

I'm still trying to decide for sure exactly how best to address this issue but this is what I've come up with so far. Am I on the right track? Is what's happening as the way Obama decreed correct? How big of a problem do you really see this? Please let me know what you think about what I've come up with so far. In addition, I'd love to hear your thoughts in general.

 There are two things I do know for sure. One, if we don't with this problem fast it's really going to get out of hand much worse than it is now. Two, those of us that claim to be conservatives have been labeled uncompassionate when we claim to be compassionate. If we don't show compassion here & do this right then we will prove our detractors right, make hypocrites of ourselves, & definitely lose a ton of ground that we have fought so hard to gain.

Be Blessed!

God of Hope, Strength, & Love

Once again today's blog is wrote by a guest blogger, my daughter Brianna.  Let me just say that having a daughter this mature in Christ makes my heart leap for joy!
_________________________________________

Hey, so what I'm about to say might sound bad, and so does starting off with that line, but hey it's true. It also might encourage you to stop reading, great even better. Okay here it is, are you ready, here we go: I support traditional marriage, meaning one man, one woman, and sex inside marriage only. Woah, shocker right? A Christian standing by their Bible based beliefs? Don't worry I'm a bit surprised myself. I'm like a teenage girl version of Dan Cathy, you know the Chick-Fil-A, traditional marriage guy. Wait, wait before you stop reading, listen, well look actually at what else I have to say.

I do like gays, scratch that, I love gays, or at least try to. I try to love everyone, it's a Jesus follower thing. This past school year I had a friend come out to me that they were gay. After they told me I told them you know my views, but I'm here for you no matter what, and that was that. We're still friends, we just have different beliefs, and we don't try to shove our beliefs down the other's throat. C'mon you don't make friends by doing stuff like that, it's just not very friendly...

Actually with that being said that leads me into my next little point thing. I have no intention whatsoever to change anyone's views, get them to think, yes, a 180 view change, no. Also the last thing I'm here to do is judge, I have no right to. I am just as human as the next person, and I think we all are aware of how humans can be; very humany wumany. (Hehe Doctor Who reference for all the nerds)

Hey the only way I can say something like, "I only support traditional marriage," is if I have some to back it up. My back up, I am absolutely 100% convinced there is a God in heaven, the God of the Bible, and he is the only God. Now, I must confess, that I have had my fair share of doubts, but maybe my doubts are what lead to my rock solid faith. I had to doubt to God to really know he was there, kinda ironic really.

For me I have no reason to support homosexuality, because my God, the God of the Bible abhors it. Why would I support something that goes against everything I believe in? It makes no sense, so I don't. I hear so often, "But God creates people how he wants them to be." True he creates them with the power to choose; the power to choose him or the power to choose the world. He wouldn't be a loving God if he forced us to choose him. Since he gives us the choice, who am I to judge, who am I to condemn? I'm not, and I try not to, but as a Christian I'll be the first to admit I fail... miserably. I only fail though because I try doing it in my power. I forget that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." -Phillipians4:13

I believe in God because of who he is and what he's done, not just in my life, but in the lives of others. If someone can give hope to the hopeless, then there's something there worth following. If he can take the kid headed to jail, caught up in gangs, there's gotta be something going on here. If he can take the formerly gay or the woman in the Roe v. Wade case and do a 180 on them, then this is someting huge. If the God of the universe takes time to transform the lives of individuals everywhere, then he's someone worth getting to know. But if he's never done any of this, then he's not worth it. If he's done even just one of these he's so worth it, but if he's done all of this and more, then he's indescribable. The God I believe has done all of this in more, so I give my life to follow God, not the world, cause my God is greater.

Obama Invited to New Hampshire NASCAR Race

Here's a great headline for you!

President Obama Invited to New Hampshire NASCAR Race, HasTickets Waiting On Him.

Jerry Gappens, President of New Hampshire Motor Speedway, sent out a press release stating that he has left free tickets to the July 15th NASCAR Sprint Cup race.  Many are questioning not only the motives but even the sanity of Jerry Gappens doing this.  Here's my take on it.

______________________________________________

Great move by Jerry Gappens!  Anyone want to guess on the chances of Obuma actually showing up?  I'd say those chances are somewhere between zip, zero, zilch, & not a chance! 

Why did Jerry Gappens do this?  My guess is that it is two-fold.  First it's a publicity stunt, that's the biggest reason.  If Obuma really wanted to come to the race you wouldn't see him or any of his entourage at the Will Call window.  They'd plan this well in advance, spend millions of our tax dollars on his security detail & the logistic costs which include both Air 1 & Marine 1.

The biggest reason I'm hoping Jerry Gappens did this is to expose Obuma's bitter discontempt for everything NASCAR stands for.  These include the freedom to openly & publicly pray to Jesus or to whomever we choose, open & blatant support of our military personnel, & the open support of American business.

The policies of the liberal left & Obuma have severely damaged the livelihood of all Americans & no one knows this better then the fine folks at NASCAR who now are having to deal with declining attendance & corporate sponsorship due to the simple fact that people in this country are hurting financially & just can't afford a weekend, or even a day at the races anymore.

Obuma couldn't pick a much more hostile environment to show up to then a NASCAR race.  This would be the irony of all ironies of this election year if Obuma showed up.  But then on the other hand none of the people I associate with have ever accused Obuma of "being of a far superior mindset." 

Maybe Obuma will show up & be ran right back out of town.  Either way this is a great move by Jerry Gappens!

Coscience Act

In today's Wichita Eagle newspaper there is an aritcile titled " Brownback signs ‘conscience act’ letting pharmacists refuse to provide drugs they believe might cause abortion." http://www.kansas.com/2012/05/14/2334608/brownback-signs-conscience-act.html#storylink=cpy

Needless to say those that oppose freedom, especially the Right to Life, have been screaming their heads off in the comments section of this article. I've lost track already in the number of posts I've made here refuting the rantings of the liberal leftists which have included avocation up to and including socialistic Nazism!

Here's the one definitive post that I made that sums up what this "Conscience Act" is all about.

Let me try to focus on the real issue here. Insuring the right of an individual to not be compelled, coerced, or forced to perform a task or labor to which they are ethically or morally opposed to. This is a matter of freedom people, not about the taking away of one's rights. Forcing someone to perform a task or labor to which they are ethically or morally objected to is not freedom. At best its socialism. At worst its tyranny!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the abortion proponents that are screaming for "freedom of choice?" If those of you who are abortion proponents truly believe what you say should not that "freedom of choice" extend to all people or are you being hypocritical?

This law does nothing to prohibit a woman from acquiring Plan B, RU-486, or any other abortifactant.

Here's the words of German Pastor Martin Niemöller, Anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor. Arrested & held without due process by Nazis 1937 - 1945.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

"Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It." George Santayana (1905) Reason in Common Sense, volume 1 of The Life of Reason

I for one will not stand by while the rights of others are taken away one by one. I remember what has happened in the past & I will fight so that we as a country will not repeat it.

Where do you stand? Please give me feedback!

This is great!  I'm almost getting spoiled having guest bloggers write for me!  It's also nice knowing I'm not the only "Patriot" out there that is fighting to save this country that we love so dearly!  With that said today's blog comes from Gary up in Iowa.  Gary shares his views on why we should support Romney for President even if we don't agree with everything Romney has to say.  Gary make some really great points here!  Please take this to heart!  Enjoy what Gary has to say.  I did.

Be Blessed!

"I too am/was a Ron Paul supporter but the Iowa caucus is over and he lost. Then I supported Santorum. C'est la vie and politics."

"Everyone: If Romney gets in, the Second Amendment will be temporarily safe, our inexorable march towards socialism will be considerably slowed, any new SCOTUS appointees will be conservative and competent, government regulations will become less intrusive, small business will thrive, leases will be let and oil will be drilled and pipelines will be completed, wasteful spending will decrease, the institution of marriage will be defended, patriotism will be celebrated, jobs will be created, abortion will be defunded, the justice department will become just once again, optimism will flourish, and most importantly, Obama, all his cronies, his czars, his terrorist friends and his civilian army will be neutered."

"We find ourselves in a position where the best candidate is not as good as we'd like him to be but ...so what? When has that ever not been the case? Does anyone expect that there will ever be a perfect candidate that is also electable? Of course not and a few (especially you smart guys) may know it. We are being forced to choose between the lesser of two evils, but so what? We are always choosing between the lesser of evils in politics. It's an inescapable truth that we humans shall never be able create a perfect scenario when it comes to politics. Here's the proof: Imagine for a moment that Ron Paul were actually electable, would he be the perfect person for the job? Of course not. He too is a bit flawed in some of his thinking but just not as flawed as all these other contenders to the throne."

"Don't give up and don't give in and don't be discouraged because we are tough, strong and we have the advantage of being selflessly right."

I just had an online conversation with a friend and fellow patriot.  This conversation came about over the startling news that the Obama Administration had once again sold us, the U.S., down the river with "Fed clears China's first US bank takeover"  http://news.yahoo.com/fed-clears-chinas-first-us-bank-takeover-012927575.html

Long story short, if our country turns socialist it's not because of the commies, chi coms, or the russians. It's because we have dipshits for this generation. Benjamin Franklin said "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

"If our generation votes for socialism then they deserve it. The commies didn't attack us, we allowed them to screw us educationally and our children have learned in public schools and colleges that socialism is more preferable than capitalism. The parents of this country have failed to counter the brainwashing. That's our faults not the commies."

"No, I don't advocate violence in any way. This is not Red Dawn where we get invaded. We did this to ourselves for failing to teach this generation. Blogging, voting, preaching and telling others the values of capitalism and liberty and love for country is the way to counter this culture revolution.... and lot's of prayer too."

"Interesting times we live in. I see a muslim advance, communist advance, financial meltdown of global proportions, middle east wars potentials, global power grabs etc.. A lot of chaos in the 21st century. Very difficult to know which one is advancing ahead of the others. Very crazy times."

"I can't quite figure out what's going on. Fiscally, we are on our way to ruin. Someone once told me if we exceed 20 percent interest on our GDP then we are hosed. We are at 100 percent."  http://visual.ly/united-states-debt-percentage-gdp-1940-2012

"Either the enterprise stops warp and reverses thrusters or we are going to default like greece but take the rest of the world with us. Else, I think possibly a stealth default maybe a possibility. Impossible to know really since only God sees the future."

"Those are thing I see as possible problems in the future though."

"Anyhow, I hopefull for the rapture to take us the heck out of here."

I hope he's right!  I hope he's right!

Have a great day!

Be Blessed!
