Hillary 2016!!!

Hillary 2016…..yay!!! (Cough, choke, gag, cough…)

My youngest sister is getting her graduate degree at a small southern college. When she was back home over the holidays she told me a story that literally just shines light on the total voting ignorance of the majority of Americans.
She says that she was conversing with some other students and the topic turned to politics. A young woman loudly proclaimed: ‘Oh shoot… I am Aaaalllll about Hillary 2016, yawl!’
My sister, when hearing this said, ‘really….why?’
The young woman just said, ‘I just am.’ My sister pursued…’no tell me why!? Tell me why Hillary Clinton would make a great president?’
The girl replied ‘she just would ok…’
That Right there is why we are where we are as a country!
People readily backing a candidate just cause.

Hmmmmm… is it because she wears a skirt? Is it because it’d ‘cool’ to have a woman president…that’s right ‘cool!’ Yay let’s make history- high five!
Please tell me, is it cool to be lied to? Have we just accepted the fact that the truth from Politicians is unobtainable and that perpetual lying is now the norm?
Families were told that their child was murdered because of a film on you tube. When this lie was completely concocted and created so that the current president would be reelected. If there was terrorism still rapidly thriving when the President said it wasn’t, that would simply look bad and could hurt in the polls. So Hillary lies, it was a “you tube” video, yes -a straight up lie.
What’s sad is we forget. We forget about those four dead men in Benghazi.
We forget that they had families, families that want the truth, families that deserve the truth.
We forget to use our brains as women and not our bodies when picking candidates.
We forget that women’s rights go way beyond birth control and reproduction and we have let them be reduced to that.
We forget to demand truth from our elected officials.
We forget that those elected work for We the people!
We forget that jumping on the bandwagon-may feel good at the time. but the lack of research exposes our own foolishness. 
 So….Before you slap that 2016 bumper sticker on your car- ask yourself why and please-KNOW why!

Why talk politics?

Why talk politics….?
I mean let’s just all get along right?
Why ruffle the feathers, why stir the pot? Let’s just agree to disagree….you do your thing and I’ll do mine.
I just don’t want to upset anyone or cause controversy ya know….

Ughhhh-If I chose to succumb to this -perhaps desired by many silence just to appease -than I have no spine. Worse, I’d be a traitor…not to my country alone but to what’s most important to me-my children.

Oh please…stop being so dramatic…you might say…..well…. I say wake the hell up!

While the majority of Americans have been busy with their own lives, and trusting the Government to handle the political ‘stuff ‘ our country has gone to s%*t!
Poverty is at an all time high, more people are on food stamps than ever, we are no longer viewed as the strong world leader and the federal debt has increased 90% since Obama has taken office and is expected to double before he bids farewell….(factcheck.org)
Do you realize if we don’t stop spending like we are, our kids don’t have a chance! Each tax payer currently and technically is more than roughly $148,021in debt! What if the bill collector wants to collect? Who says your own checking, saving or 401k is safe?
Oh but that would be unconstitutional and would infringe on your rights…right? Ummmm have you not noticed that the current administration is literally making a mockery of your constitutional rights daily???? What rights you have are being taken…..slowly and steadily.

 “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” — Adolf Hitler

You see, if I just do nothing, if I just stay quiet, than my children will never know I cared.

Burying your head in the ground is only going to fuel this fiasco!

Get informed. 

                                                             Speak up and Speak out.

Let’s give Socialism a shot…shall we… :)

So big freaking deal….what’s wrong if we become a Socialistic country….who cares??
What’s sooo wrong with a society where everyone is “equal?”  What’s wrong with getting rid of the super rich to eliminate the super poor?  What’s so wrong with allowing a few really smart people to decide what’s best for the masses and we just agree?
Capitalism is just a system of greed… right …and it only allows for the rich to get richer….so let’s for a moment imagine the “fair” world of socialism.
Yes, there are some countries that fall into this category but let’s say the United States of America falls into this way of life as well, and if that were to happen to America, the rest of the world would soon follow suit.
So here goes…..
Everyone makes the same amount of money (yay…nice right!), because we all make the same amount of cash, we all pretty much drive the same car, and live in houses that are all about the same size.
Fancy food, clothes, traveling and any luxuries of any sort will no longer be offered because they simply can’t be afforded. Our choices of food and fashion are minimal, so yay….we all get to match….like we did when we were in grade school and called our best friend and told them to wear the same outfit as us!
For all those sports freaks….that world would definitely cease to exist, because the salaries are the same- so many professional athletes would find it senseless to risk their health and bodies playing a sport, when they could just simply sit at a desk.
If you get sick…well, get in line. There are only a few doctors now-because they get paid the same salary as everybody else. Hopefully you don’t die before they get a chance to treat you….
If you have more than two children….well forget it…you can’t afford it, and neither can your neighbor so it’s only fair to have a couple kids.
Your children really have no cause to “dream big” or try to be the best in academics, or any extra curricular activities- because in the end they’ll just grow up, get a job and be like everybody else.
Because socialism suffocates all competition there really is no need for choices or options. We’d shop at the same grocery store, fill our identical cars at the same gas station, eat at the ONE restaurant in town, and go to the ONE movie that’s showing over the weekend….
The desire to invent or create would be pointless. With no reward, few would aspire for greatness, because “greatness” no longer would exist. But that’s fair right. I mean it’s not fair if someone is great and someone is not….
 
(I could go on and on)
So let’s make it fair…..if we continue in the direction we are headed….Socialism is going to be your reality….unless You…yes… You —DO something about it!
 
Love the clip below- watch!

Bigger than a dream

As we enter a new year-hopes, dreams and visions are often topics that are widely discussed.
We tend to set goals and fantasize about what can be or what will be. We have excitement of new beginnings! Some are so thankful to say goodbye to the old year, while others reminisce the moments of what was a great year.
Regardless we all move forward and desire that the year ahead be better than the year now behind us.

With the snow falling outside and the temperatures in the teens, getting the family all dressed and out the door for church was just too much this morning, so instead we listened to a sermon online.

The pastor spoke of dreams and visions…of course suitable for the new year but this also got me thinking….

Now as a mom of two babies under the age of two….my biggest dream is often knowing what I am going to fix for dinner and getting all the laundry done! This is not to say I am not a dreamer…I have chased many dreams already in my lifetime and in return found what I was really looking for.
As mothers “dreaming big” seems like crazy talk! I mean, it kinda says a lot when it feels like my dreams have come true if  I show up at the grocery store when they are offering the “two for one” special on organic chicken! 🙂

But what we do as moms in the simple day to day is sooooo important, it’s absolutely crucial. It’s bigger than any “dream” could be, because it directly, concretely and eternally impacts a life of one or more, and those life’s we have influenced could potentially or possibly effect hundreds, thousands or millions.

We decide the course of our country by what we do or do not do in the day to day with our children. My 21month old watches my every move and at this point it’s hard for him to miss a thing. He models my behavior, and mimics my gestures and I know my daughter will follow suit….
What I do, they will do.
At the same time, our children are little tiny individuals….ummm did I mention I have a 21month old, so we are in full toddler mode right now! Screaming, crying, tantrums, hitting -are all on display-and what I DO or DO NOT  do…will have lasting impacts.
To minimize the roll of a parent literally minimizes the future of our society.

Just look at our country….if parents started parenting we’d see a lot less crap!
If mom’s would just play the role of mother and not ‘best friend’ (at least until the kids are in college)
If dad’s -for god sake-would just be around!
If society would stop diminishing the major and critical role of “Mom” and “Dad.”

Instead of, “most beautiful,” “most sexy” – I think a new cover idea for Time Magazine should be  “Mother of the year” or “Father of the Year.”

It starts in the home. Right now, our futures are crawling around with pacifiers in their mouths and we have the vital role to determine what our futures look like. Let’s aim for excellence….forget the dream-it’s up to us to make it a reality.

The Freedom of Speech

Ughhhhhh! Can I just say that I am so over the ‘Freedom of Speech’ applying to only one particular group…. and…that same group being the front runners for ‘tolerance,’ when in fact there is NO tolerance!

Now let me preface this by saying this is not against homosexuality, those that live that lifestyle will stand before God just like the rest of us. I have loved ones very dear to me that are homosexuals and I love them with all my heart! Disagreeing with something, does not mean that you in any way ‘hate’ and I am sick of this being an automatic label! This assumption is wrong on all accounts and is the very cause of why we live in such a broken world.

I am writing this because I read that Phil Robertson, I guess one of the stars of “Duck Dynasty,” has recently been put on leave because of some of the statements he made in regards to homosexuality. Now I don’t watch the show, I heard it’s great and it is highly rated-so I am not writing this because I am a fan.

This is about the Right to the Freedom of Speech….have you heard of it? Yes, it’s the 1st amendment and it’s a beautiful thing. One of the most amazing freedoms we as Americans have. It’s something that thousands upon thousands of our American soldiers have bled, fought and died for. It is our right to speak freely, without the threat of imprisonment! This amendment also protects our freedom of Religion…our right to worship, what, whom, when and the way we choose.

This Right that we have been given-is being greatly threatened! When we start witnessing people being “let go” or “put on leave” for exercising their constitutional right…we are in danger. Just because one side doesn’t like what they hear from the other side, does Not give them the right to exterminate the voice of that opposing side!

Helloooooo this argument goes both ways! We together must oppose this suffocation that is slowly eliminating our right to utter our thoughts! If our voice is taken we have nothing!

The fact that I can write what I think and feel on this blog, is because of our 1st amendment! We must stand TOGETHER, though we ALL differ with opinion, and fight for our Right to Free Speech and Right to Religion, this gift may go extinct if we don’t speak up and speak out!
