There's a movie on cable right now with Charlize Therone called The Box.
I haven't seen it, but the trailers make it look like the premise is this:
If you push the button on this box, you will gain a million dollars in your account.
However, someone in the world, whom you do not know, will perish.

This is not a new premise.
The Democrats have been playing this game for years:
"Flip this lever in the ballot box, and money will accrue to your account.
It will however come from the account of other people who will not be able to hold you responsible."

It does not, however, star Charlize Therone.

I've been putting in a lot of hours at work, with a lot of six hour nights.
I managed to vote this week, just in the nick...

I woke up this morning, calm and refreshed.
Ready to catch up on the news.
Then I read about the stupid stuff our federal government is doing and I realize:
I can't afford one more democrat.
They're hard on my wallet, and take a toll on my mental health.
They're suing my fellow citizens for defending their state, suing universities for allowing Kindles instead of paper books (blind people can't read Kindles) and allowing thugs to roam polling places with hammers and bats.

Raising taxes on my employer.

Making my health care more expensive.

Trying to increase my energy costs with Cap and Trade.

We can't afford one more democrat.

They cost too much.

Happy Fourth, Barry!

As I read more about this woman this morning, it occurred to me (I'm slow on the uptake) what a political hack she is.

She has applied for an asst. A.G. position, a federal judgeship, law school management positions. Now she wants to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Has she ever worked in a non-political environment?

Held a real-world job?

Like the rest of us?

She's no academic scholar or national legal treasure.

She's a detached liberal idealogue.

Everything is theoretical, as in:

"Let's try this, This should work."

And the corrollary:

"Huh, That should have worked."

By the way:

The Supreme Judge (and our Chief Advocate) suffered like us:

^Heb15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

 ^Heb16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Remember when you were a kid?

And you and your sibling(s) were warned:

"If something bad happens to the (insert something here: dog, vase, window...)

You're both getting punished!

There are only two real nuclear threats to America, now.

Russia has no interest in nuking us.

So terrorists are only going to get a bomb from a psycho regime.

Iran or North Korea.

We just announce to the world:

"If we get nuked by terrorists,

we're using a good percentage of those 5000 warheads we have

on reducing both Iran ad North Korea to glowing ashes."

I think they and their surrounding neighbors would have sufficient motiviation to protect us from that threat.

 Church Member Finds Missing Fla. Girl

This girl was missing in a swamp since last Friday. Last Friday.

This guy prays that Jesus will lead him to her, and he finds her in two hours.

Two hours!

If he'd been a "psychic" he'd be on all the talk shows.

but he's one of those religious nuts, right?

Spent most of this morning working on the other blog I do which is a compilation of notes from a Bible study I lead on Wednesday nights. Our pastor has been kind enough to entrust that responsibility to me for years now. http://notesonj ohnsgospel.blogspot.com/

It's afternoon and I just finished chapter one. It's pretty readable and I recommend it to you if you're interested.

Other than that, WHY ARE THESE COMPANIES THAT ARE NOW COMPLAINING ABOUT THE COSTS OF OBAMACARE ONLY NOW SPEAKING UP? Big employers rethink their healthcare plans

ATT one billion. Caterpillar one million. John Deere one and a half!

More to come!

And, oh yeah, treating Netanyahu like he's a cheap punk? I know who the cheap punk is... And these lefties wonder why we're angry?

Let's see, we've got a president raised in a muslim culture (Indonesia) who sucks up (and bows down) to muslim dictators and shows disdain for a Jewish leader who was democratically elected. Hmmmm.

So it passed.

I understand that yesterday a republican congressman said something to the effect of:

"This bill adds 13,000 IRS agents for enforcement while paying doctors less.

If you get sick, call TurboTax."

Time for state AGs (I heard Mike Cox (AG of MI) is on this) to challenge this on Article 10.

Hey! You can get a free copy of the Constitution online!

Get one before they're all gone.

1. You couldn't possibly know all that it does. You congressman certainly doesn't.
   Would you enter into a contract you don't understand?
2. It's a rush job. That means it's shoddy or it's shady. Or both.
3. Some senators got bought off with tax dollars. Their states will get better deals than yours.
4. If you have good insurance right now: kiss it goodbye. 
   Your employer will be charged a 40% tax on your premiums if you are not unionized. Either you go or your insurance goes. 
   Why should unionized employees be treated differently under law than non-unionized?
5. You will be forced to buy health insurance if it is not provided to you.
6. If somes states, or some employees, get different deals under Federal Law, what's the point of a federal government?
7. What right does the government have to get involved in this at all?
   Europe might do it, Canada might do it, but they are not under the US Constitution.

What the "other" Jeremiah Wright who's been visiting the White House looks like.

The defeat of "Health Care".

A conservative rout of the legislature.

The salvation of my loved ones.

The birth certificate, not that it matters.

On the birth certificate:

It is important to be assured that Constitutional provisions for presidential elections are followed.

However.

I, like many of you, grew up in America.

I had a love of our country instilled in me.

When I was taught "Civics", it was American "Civics", not sharia law or Indonesian civics.

I watched TV, and saw inspiring stories of American Heroes, and Founding Fathers.

The kids I played with, and grew up with, had that in common with me.

Our president grew up in a foreign land, taught in foreign (not embassy) schools, playing with foreign kids, only vaguely aware of America.

He "returned" to America, only to hang out with his mom and grandparents' certifiably communist friends, learning how bad America was.

He moved to Chicago and hung out with more of the same.

That's not what the Founding Father's had in mind.

The Constitution specifies the purpose of the Census:

Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.

That's it.

Enumeration.

Not 'How many bathrooms do you have?"

If they can find a right to privacy that allows the slaughter of innocent children in the womb, you'd think we might be able to avoid answering intrusive questions from the government without fear of prosecution.
