Victory is the Only Option

Good things come to those who wait and those who work hard. We here at home only had to wait, our military men and women had to work hard.

So many people in this modern day of convenience and brilliant technology are spoiled by instant gratification. That includes many politicians. I am grateful for those soldiers who fought for our liberty and the liberty of Iraqui people, and the conservative leaders who supported them all the way.

Belated Independence Greetings!

Sorry I was down and out the last couple of weeks.  Happy belated Independence Day!  A holiday that truly means a lot to me.  I am grateful for the many sacrifices of our Founding Fathers.  This is the time of year that is an especially strong reminder of the great blessing America is to us even in these weakening times.  It is a time of year that we remember how great America was in the beginning and how great it should be still.  May we all stay strong in defending our freedom, our liberty, and do all we can to prevent our elected officials from "hacking" away at our Constitution.

Here is a motivational video I received on Facebook. I welcome any contributions if anyone would like to send their videos or opinions in support of Remember America Gr8...

Iran Cleric Says Dogs are "Unclean"

TEHRAN (Reuters) - A senior Iranian cleric has decreed dogs are "unclean" and should not be kept as pets -- a move aimed at discouraging Western-style dog ownership in the Islamic state, a newspaper reported on Saturday.  Dogs are considered "unclean" under Islamic tradition but, while relatively rare in Iran, some people do keep them as pets.

By issuing a fatwa -- a religious ruling -- Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has sent a clear message that this trend must stop.  "Friendship with dogs is a blind imitation of the West," he was quoted as saying in Javan daily. "There are lots of people in the West who love their dogs more than their wives and children." Guard dogs and sheep dogs are considered acceptable under Islamic law but Iranians who carry dogs in their cars or take them to public parks can be stopped by police and fined.

The Koran does not explicitly prohibit contact with dogs, Shirazi said, but Islamic tradition showed it to be so. "We have lots of narrations in Islam that say dogs are unclean."  The interpretation of religious rules on personal conduct is a constant source of debate and potential conflict in Iran which has been an Islamic republic since a revolution ousted the Western-backed Shah in 1979.   ~by Robin Pomeroy

Remember their goal is to make their law OUR law.  There are too many crazy laws under Islamic law that rob people of their freedom and human rights.  We need to stand up for liberty and do what's right. Do what you can to support our Constitution that upholds the freedoms we so enjoy.  Education and knowledge are our greatest weapons.  Help others to be aware.  Share this blog and other great websites like ActForAmerica.org and StandUpAmericaUs.com.

Is Alzheimers Now a Disease of the Young?




Symptoms of Alzheimer's now appears as a disease of the young and politically correct. For my day job, I work for an agency where I go in-home to take care of elderly clients. Many of these clients have Alzheimer's. Two main tactics used in caring for the elderly with this disease is to redirect and...simply put, lie. It's difficult getting used to the latter. But it is the most effective approach to keeping them calm and getting them to do what you want. "Helen, let's go down to the salon and get your hair fixed up for tonight." (said in my best I'm going to a party voice) In reality I am taking her to the bathroom to give her a shower, which is the last thing she wants to do. This isn't cruel or wrong when taking care of Alzheimer's patients. I am keeping Helen happy and calm while taking care of important basic needs that are good for her health. Using this same approach on the masses is another story.

Liberal politicians and mass media are trying to act as the "Caregivers" to a vast number of the population diseased with these same symptoms of Alzheimer's, short-term memory and a childlike inability to comprehend what is best for them. Political correctness is the number one tool used to Lie and Redirect the average person from dealing with reality. Here are just a few examples:

~It's in the New York Times today except they don't call it redistribution of wealth because that's no longer politically correct! It's now wealth inequality!
~... but I just had to take this opportunity to wish you a happy 'Spring Holiday' season. It's sad but true: Davenport, Iowa actually went after Good Friday and tried to change it into yet another completely meaningless, politically correct celebration of the change in weather - like 'winter solstice' instead of Christmas. (Glenn Beck)
~the White House labeled Nidal Malik Hasan — the terrorist who killed 13 and wounded 30 more at Fort Hood — an extremist? Media outlets nationwide referred to him as a "shooter" and a "gunman." He's been called "troubled" and "harassed." NOT a terrorist!
~The news media, the filter through which Americans receive their information, is reluctant to define the enemy. Indeed, within the last week, it has become politically incorrect to describe the Islamic terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center and Pentagon, murdering thousands of innocent Americans, as "Islamic terrorists." (By David Kupelian)
~The refusal to use the term "Radical Islam" has been in the news repeatedly lately. Some politicians claim there is no such thing!
~Conservative scholar Robert Bork has charged that the educational system is a battleground where the future of America is being undermined and ill-served. He has counseled against the troubles which will ensue as a result of anti-religious policies in the schools, permissive attitudes toward homosexuality and abortion, as well as welfare policies that have destroyed families since Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty.
~Controversy in Obama's campaign for President to Texas textbook debate on whether to use Obama's middle name Hussein

We could go on and on with ludicrous examples. Or ludemocracy as I call it where the liberal politicians are concerned.

This redirecting and lying by way of political correctness leads to the mindless Group Think as a way of controlling the public. In this excerpt: ... A book authored by Janis, I. L. & Mann, L. (1977) Decision-making: A psychological analysis of conflict, choice, and commitment (New York Free Press), explores the concept of ‘Group Think.’ Eight symptoms of Group Think are listed below:

1. Illusion of Invulnerability: Members ignore obvious danger, take extreme risk, and are overly optimistic.
2. Collective Rationalization: Members discredit and explain away warning contrary to group thinking.
3. Illusion of Morality: Members believe their decisions are morally correct, ignoring the ethical consequences of their decisions.
4. Excessive Stereotyping: The group constructs negative stereotypes of rivals outside the group.
5. Pressure for Conformity: Members pressure any in the group who express arguments against the group's stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, viewing such opposition as disloyalty.
6. Self-Censorship: Members withhold their dissenting views and counter-arguments.
7. Illusion of Unanimity: Members perceive falsely that everyone agrees with the group's decision; silence is seen as consent.
8. Mind guards: Some members appoint themselves to the role of protecting the group from adverse information that might threaten group complacency.

Creepy, huh? The best cure for this disease is to remember what's right. Read, question, learn, and decide for yourself what you believe and what you know. Then act and live accordingly.

God bless the USA
