It's Imaginations Gone Wild Thing

Dear America,

 "Some women wait for something 

to change and nothing 

does change 

so they change 

themselves."

it's a good morning in America --

it's (as in everything)   is all about to be made possible again,

and isn't that something to revel and redeem!

From revolutions to revelations, we come to the precise spot we are meant to be on this day, and likewise, as in every day, oh thanks be to God.  Sure -- there are no guarantees but let's go on, shall we?  

Just look at how just the possibility of something happening makes things happen....[Bloomberg/GM link inserted here.]  OR this one [Wall Street Journal/Walmart]

[However, wee g must add, there are areas of business not moving forward -- like this little hometown revolution....cue the news about the Chargers unable to find a moving company to do the job. “We decree, henceforth, that we shall unite as a perfect union of professional movers in agreeance (sic) to not aid the San Diego Chargers' move to Los Angeles.” funny.  and many tanks to Fox News for that.]

This time eight years ago, we rang in hope and change as if our lives depended on it while ignoring all the signs; dismissing all questionable associations; filling up all resume holes with our own imaginations of something more splendid than ever before.  For Barack Hussein Obama was the first African-American to reach such heights, and by golly, we were going to make him fit and no one, as in no one,  was allowed to say an unflattering word or even think a suspect thought.  It is done, so be quiet.

The community organizer, the community antagonize-r, the community divider --- IN CHIEF -- became the Decider-In-Chief with his Marxist/Social Re-Engineering/Redistribution of Wealth ideology leading the way.  And this nation, built as a Republic, mind you, became the target of change in ways we never thought possible, and nearly entirely through the orders and regulations and lawlessness of the Executive Branch. [The link, above, from Nate Jackson, 1/11/17, a contributor @The Patriot Post ]

Of course, it would be really sad to have one oligarchy replaced with another, wouldn't it?

But having said that --  this Trump guy has promised a return to sanity in the federal government arena, and surely he will use any and all means possible, and this may very well include much of the same executive branch tactics as the previous administration...so ugh, and tell me, is this a case where two wrongs really make a right?  [It's just a good question...relax]

Here's a quote from Trump for you:

"I am going to lower your taxes; I am going to get rid of massive amounts of unnecessary regulations, on business and in your life; I'm going to unleash American energy; I'm going to repeal and replace Obamacare; I'm going to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will follow the Constitution; I'm going to rebuild our military and take care of our vets; I'm going to save the 2nd Amendment; I'm going to stop illegal immigration and drugs coming into our country, and yes, we will build a wall. And Mexico will pay."

Just the sound of it makes me go hum.

Oh, the possibilities!

again.

Looking down to an open page of a book laying on my desk --  Something More - Excavating Your Authentic Self by Sarah Ban Breathnach -- it's open to page 134, and the quote leading into this excerpt is from Audre Lorde and goes something like this:  "Some women wait for something to change and nothing does change so they change themselves."

wait.   hold up.  I'm gonna scroll up and make that mine, too; as in my opening...and many tanks to Sarah and Audre for the assist.  And Shirley, this feeling inside me, it must be how manufacturing and factory workers feel right about now, right?

What I love about this quote extends to all of America; we are not waiting, we are not regulated by the fear of starting something; we are not listening to the doubters and the naysayers; we are positively sure of the possibility of change, starting within, perhaps one by one and step by step, and just making the move.  We are no longer waiting for someone else to do it for us and no longer pending something else to happen first. 

It's almost as if all possibilities are revealed at once and we are suddenly free to do whatever we want. Be the Change, right?  Be the change and all else falls into place,

Dare I say, when we venture to make and do and be for the common good, the Universe supports this can-do attitude fully; IT not only says yes, it multiplies.  And it multiplies big time....as in huuuuuge.

Although we do not have a crystal ball, nor can we see the days ahead for we only get one day at a time...but never discount the enormous strength we gain just from beginning to think aright.  

Everything we imagine -- good, bad or indifferent -- begins in the mind.  It is powerful stuff.

Actually, this mind links us to the Creator of all things seen and unseen.  And it is when we fold our hands and close our eyes and pray, we find ourselves tapped into the Original Source of all Good, from which we collaborate and dream and build and do great things together.

One of my favorite Sunday preachers, Dr. Charles Stanley, gave a visual this past week that seems to be a perfect fit right about now...But first,

Let me preface this with his topic on the day -- gaining the proper defenses to an immoral world, and finding the inner courage to say "no" to things, and encouraging us to make good choices, and staying on the right path in the accompaniment of God.  K?  Got it?  

So while he's talking, he stops for a moment and clasps his fingers together as if he's about to recite that little jingle, "here's the church, here's the steeple, open the door and here's all the people..." and says, "here's your defense, it's a fence."  And immediately spans the room showing the interlocking digits on a horizontal plane......instantly appearing more like a couple of 2 X 4's,  we made ourselves a fence; brilliant, right?  The best offense is a strong de-fence, and when we humbly pray for guidance, grace, mercy, a new outlook on life, a new job, a baby, a new country....the possibilities are endless and the answers are revealed.

I was never a Trumper -- but now I am.  For better or worse,  he is the hope and change of this new day in America.

The left will try and try as they might, make him illegitimate.  [And that's a really good post from The Daily Caller...love you guys]

So go ahead.  Say what you want to say, the possibilities are endless...

Go ahead, and stay stuck in the past; 

Go ahead, and cement yourselves to an ideology that does a world of nothing for so many (see the outcome of last eight years); 

Go ahead, and protest and riot and undermine  every good thing that comes around the bend,

Go ahead and moveon dot org.

And let's just see where that attitude gets you four years from now, shall we?  

Dare I add, let's just see where being unable to adapt, being totally and systematically intolerable to other points of view, being sorely unified in close-mindedness and incapable of even having an adult conversation about another way to live and govern and have our being,  and thereby wholly and completely wallowing in that kind of commitment to NOT change....GO AHEAD.  But mark my words, YOU (the one who makes all your choices) will surely be missing out on something more, something that might even be good for you.

Rest assured, this girl has her de-fences up and ready, fully engaged and determined to press on! Bring on the change that will come with this new administration and let's get at it.  

Friday can't come soon enough.  

For this wee little g CAN imagine the possibilities.... and from this perspective, it's all good...thank you, God.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's Is the Pope Catholic?...and other Things

Dear America,

so,

Is the Pope Catholic?

... beginning the year of mercy, for abortion

...beginning to "embrace" the divorced

...beginning to make annulment cheaper, easier

What's left?  

Wonder what would happen if he declared a year of mercy for murder, homicide, the taking of a life of another?

But he doesn't stop there, now does he?

THE POPE'S TEN COMMANDMENTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Now please don't misconstrue, the list might as well be written in stone, for most of them make a whole lot of common sense.  Especially that one that says, "We are not God. The earth was here before us and it has been given to us" .....The point being, Be Humble.

exactly.

But,

"We know that technology based on the use of highly polluting fossil fuels  -- especially coal, but also oil and, to a lesser degree, gas -- needs to be progressively replaced without delay," so speaketh the big guy.

Love the use of the word "progressively" there; that really hits a sweet sun spot, no?

Of course, we recently opined on the president's nature walk in Alaska....you know, to prove the Exit Glacier is melting right before our eyes...you know, all because of the evil use of fossil fuels. [Here's another good "Climate Change" read for a quick refresher course on my point of a couple days ago.]

Going back to a post @ CNN, in March, in regards to the planned visit between the Supreme Being One and Supreme Being Two coming up, it was noted:

Obama has often expressed his admiration for the Pope's ability to call attention to issues including income inequality, even while admitting they disagree on certain social issues.

To which I have to mutter to myself, do they?  

C'mon,  They seem to be cut of the same cloth; it's as if Obama is not just a Christian anymore, he's as good as Catholic as anyone else.

However, a Cardinal with mid-western, Wisconsin roots begs to differ with what we might as well call one thing, the Supremes (of no direct relation to the Supreme Court of these fine United States...that is, yet) --   Cardinal Raymond Burke has thrown caution into the winds of the Vatican, saying:

“One must be very attentive regarding the power of the pope...The pope does not have the power to change teaching [or] doctrine.”

Unless, of course you believe in a certain kind of Hope and Change doctrine -- one that reigns supreme, perhaps at a place that is "under God" but above mankind -- and goes forth, progressively, steadfastly, indoctrinating the malleable, with a force of nature so great, who would dare not agree?

Now taking a cue from an email muse over the weekend, if Christians -- currently holding at about 70% of the population in America...which means, amounting roughly to 220 million people -- were to commandeer the vote come 2016, the direction of the country, and thereby quite possibly the rest of the world, could immediately, in my humble opinion, make way for a certain reformation for the new, new ages.   And how magnificent might that be for every little child of God, for rich or for poor!

What's wrong is this clear intent to take us back to the dark ages, with the help of the Pope, no less -- to a time when the oppressed stayed oppressed, a time when one's class, one's place in society, one's ability to create wealth and pursue happiness was thwarted by all things elitist...big government,  big church, economic controls, crony capitalism, outrageous regulations, and so on and so on, creating the very conditions that hinder true liberty and freedom for all.   [And how crazy is it that the Free Exercise of Religion gets ironically thrown out, too!]

Is this really where we want to go?    Seriously?

Remember how much power the early Catholic church had?  Do you? 

Remember how much power the Church of England had, circa Just Before America Made History?  Do you?

Or how about the power of Islam, of Mohammed, and what people are willing to do for him to this day?

Remember the image of a certain man, who, while vying for position of President of the United States, came on stage looking like a god?

He got the nod and nomination from the Democrats and set foot on the stage as if he truly was America's one       last       great       hope.

After the writing was on the wall on behalf of his bride, Bill Clinton was asked to say a few words at the temporary, man-made temple of the up and coming leader:

"I say to you: Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore America's leadership in the world" and adding, "People have always been more impressed by the power of our example then by the example of our power."

Today, this administration -- this power --  all goes by way of the climate change argument -- it's a power manufactured out of thin air, it's facts and details contrived for public sway and amusement, it's methods contemptuous in the pure redistribution of wealth and power, it's divisiveness thoroughly malicious, and continues relentlessly, mocking the laws of nature and man, fully engaged to create a new world order, And now, perhaps, complete with the Pope's blessing.

If I didn't believe that this is all part of a grand plan, then perhaps a long walk off a short pier might just be the next step.

But I am not afraid; nor weary; nor disillusioned; nor lost.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's a Little Boys & Big Girls Thing

Dear America,

"Socialism 

is a philosophy of failure, 

the creed of ignorance, 

and the gospel of envy, 

its inherent virtue 

is the equal sharing of misery."  

Winston Churchill

rough week when it comes to men and politics; a one liner that could very well continue to stand on its own, even if you dropped the last two words, if you ask me.

so now you must be wondering, what does Churchill have to do with it?  well in the matter of men and politics, the answer is everything and nothing at the same time.  This morning, this quote seems to say it all:  one good man declaring the utter idiocy of an ideology without one mean-spirited untruth about it.  It's simple eloquence is beyond words.

now, considering I started this "G thing" out of frustration with both subjects [men and politics] just shy of two years ago -- venturing to keep an American girl diary on the day -- I can only imagine what it will feel like twenty years from now, after studying man and politics, smart phones and dumb things, years down the road.  kinda like an Ann Coulter.

I mean, my God, she has been at this for literally decades -- basically, what might very well be all her life if we were to round things up.  How does she do it and keep herself sane?  [yes, so in my humble opinion, G totally believes she is...and how!]  And more that, that girl is one smart cookie.

Ans it goes without saying, that this girl would love to catch her debate any liberal -- just bring it.  Alan Colmes would be chopped up into a hundred pieces as soon as he opens his mouth, that's all I'm saying.  Even James Carville: gone in sixty seconds.  Whatever you could throw at her would be deflected by her armor and sharp wit before three words are out of your mouth; for she has studied 'the other side' as if being her prey -- she knows what you will bring, knowing every deep dark facet of your mindset, and is aptly, fully, methodically leading you into a trap every time.

Granted, she is hard, fierce, stealth on most days; and if we lay it all out there, she has developed one tough heavy duty shell around her, maybe in spite of the deadly, toxic environment in which she lives [and in a snap, it would appear G is returning to Darwinian day of yesterday].   And why?  Because she has had to.

Any conservative writer, commentator, pundit, journalist...friends, neighbors and countrymen...have had to adapt to the conditions on the ground.  And right quick if they want to survive.  While this phenomenon -- visceral attacks on an entire set who just so happen to think differently than the way the left brain thinks -- is set to get worse before it gets better.  To be sure -- and going the way of unemployment numbers, jobs reports and economic growth -- it is, regrettably, very much expected.

But, of course, in the weird way we think in G land, Coulter is so out of my league -- so distinguished in the area of study, of men and politics, of left and right, of good and evil -- I can see how  she can be intimidating to even the most learned leftist thinker.  Coulter is like a tall and skinny brain with a blonde bombshell attached.  What [liberal] man can really hold his own against all that?  [same with you Sydney kitties...you got nothin' on this one]

And really, digging deeper, and at the same time being totally superficial -- just look at her hair!   Every hair is long, straight, blonde,  with not one out of place; every strand stands at attention ready for their next orders.  Who can do that day after day after day?  Humidity, fuggetaboutit.  Fly-aways, not on your life.  Even Coulters hair knows exactly how to respond, no matter the conditions on the ground.  Unheard of....
 
now for me.  G.  my hair never looks the same way twice, let alone 365 days a year, year in and year out.  my locks, are like my blog, you never know whatcha gonna get...even I don't know until I get to the end...for it's like it's got a mind of it's own.  and this may be more information than you care to know, but in my view, regarding my hair, my philosophy seems to fall along the lines 'the messier the better.'  and we're back to how I blog.  that is soooo weird........

wow G, nothing like letting it all hang out this happy friday morn, is there?

Now something she said in an interview relating to Anthony Weiner, the twitter twit, delivered an ah-ha moment in an instant.  She basically said, something to the effect of ...these guys, these politicians behaving badly, are like a warped return of a personal nature.   It dates back to some kind of juvenile injustice of the hormonal kind; that these guys probably couldn't get dates in high school, and now that they have reached gluttonous levels of power and prestige and bank accounts, they feel almost sanctioned, endowed by every right under the privileges of civil servant, to act out.  The little boy who never rated with the girls then, is finally having his day.

One look at Weiner and she might have a point.

She also pointed out something else unexpected:  the infidelity rate for men is at about 15% [just to be fair and balanced, ten for women].   This may sound absurd, but I would have thought far worse.

But let's reintroduce Churchill to the discussion:  Socialism loves chaos -- the civil unrest, lack of jobs, loss of scruples, debauchery and lawlessness of all kinds.  It feeds off of the unrest like a "philosophy of failure,

the creed of ignorance, 

and the gospel of envy, 

its inherent virtue
is the equal sharing of misery".

The thing is, it is a good day for America if these infidelity numbers ring true.  This means we are returning - or quite possibly never left --  an era when integrity and honor actually means something.  Being loyal to the love we have for another, becomes something we fight for, live for, yearn for. Like most everything, the eighty-twenty rule seems to rule the day.  There will always be some people willing to stick their reputation and honor on the line for a cheap thrill, a fast high, a quick twit with someone they don't even know.  There will always be that, because human nature is not infallible.  We fail sometimes.

The good news is that most of us really don't.   Most of us want a shared life of happiness ever after; most of us want to do the right thing for our baby; most of us want to expect the other person to treat us with loving care and do the same in return.  This is what we want, as a majority.

These may be universal values when it is all said and done -- but the reality is, like it or not, every bit of it comes with a conservative underpinning.

More Americans believe in the right to life, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in less government, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in the free market, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in God, a Creator, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in traditional marriage, than those who do not.

More Americans believe and respect our Constitution, than those who do not.

More Americans believe you teach a man to fish and all else shall be added unto you, than those who don't.

This president was raised deeply rooted in the teachings of social justice -- having been raised by a mother and grandparents who believed in Socialism, following the dreams from my father anchored in Marxism, and being a staunch believer in community organizers far and wide -- the unions, the alinsky armies, groups with intent to bring about civil unrest, creating social divides and conflicts when there should be none.

In a way, our president was raised with the deep understanding of man and politics, especially of the social justice kind, through and through.

then there is this:

"It is a happy circumstance

in human affairs

that evils which are not cured in one way 

will cure themselves in some other."

--Thomas Jefferson

Which brings me nearly full circle.

You know what I would like to see; I would like to see Obama up against the Coul-train of thought.  They are like exact opposites in most every way, are they not? [talking just politics here, not talkin' race or hair color at all.. even though for kicks and giggles we could go down that track too...he is black and she is white; his hair, very short and going grey by the minute; hers, long and highlighted, probably every six to eight weeks. now see,  that wasn't so bad now was it? ...ah so quickly we can digress, no?]

Obama believes that government is what saves the stupid people who know no better....the "philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."  even if he never says it out loud, this is what he believes.  so much so, he is fundamentally transforming America on these very ideas as we speak.

Coulter, not so much.  She believes in the philosophy of prosperity, the creed of knowledge, goodness and charity, and the gospel of God's grace, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of opportunity, with no guarantee of happiness, come today or tomorrow.

Continuing on now, as if I know her as much as I hate her perfect hair --  she believes that good and evil lives in each new day, and it is how we respond to it, with it, and around it, that creates a country worth saving no matter what other people say.  She walks her talk and is willing to debate anyone, anywhere, anytime, about it.  and to anyone who gives it a go, good luck with that.  Anthony Weiner would be fun to watch; but now, then again, like high school, she wouldn't give him the time of day.

as we started out the day, men and politics are an interesting breed, indeed; having already admitted, just men, in general, is enough said.  [don't hate, I love you guys -- matter of fact, a couple of you are worth having my heart xoxo]  But in all honesty, it may take a lifetime for a girl to fully understand them; AND, fair is fair -- it comes with an equal portion and obligation of boy understanding girl.  That is what makes life so fabulous and worth living, if I don't say so myself.  Some days, you just never know what you're gonna get.

and with that the day is done.

Make it a Good Day, G

how about this guy...

Dear America,

You know that feeling that when one thing starts to go wrong, everything else seems follow suit; whether it is some kind of Murphy's Law or my own little G space gone berserk, once one thing goes, so goes the rest of the day, or week, and so on.

Whether it is for good or for bad, our thoughts have a way of wrecking havoc on us, and most of the time, we don't even know it -- or can begin to understand why does this keep happening to me?

This is my last couple of days.

Without going into detail, everything has turned absolutely mad, and not in an angry way, just batty, crazy, stupid, nuts; it started with technical difficulties -- then, before you knew it, my whole world was a mess.

I think, in part, this has something to do with the creepy side show we've got swirling around the world of politics -- the liberal bias in main stream media, that now we've reached an age, that no matter what happens, they MSM don't think, they just follow, and while they are at it, they continue this march against just regular folk, making unjust correlations, making rabid character assassinations, making two people out of hundreds of thousands the point man, when in fact, they have nothing to do with the attitudes and beliefs and level of integrity of the whole -- but they throw everything in, and like a chain reaction, they continue to build up the assault.  Those incapable of keeping an iron will or backbone of steal, may fall prey and think -- ooh, maybe that is me, maybe that is my group, maybe that is who I am associating with, and after a few steps out of place, we actually come to believe it.

NOT!

But boy, if people actually paid attention to the left, the mad science of following along with what other people say, and the snowballing effect of a flawed theory to begin with, it would surely take us all down...one by one, if not by entire tea party gatherings at a time.

But a funny thing happens when we gather under the message that makes sense, common sense; when we come together for sound reasons, with a will to change things, united in power and presence, in keeping with a foundation that has withstood the test of time (more or less) something happens -- we transform ourselves and become something better, bigger -- far reaching in scope and experience -- and we begin to see for ourselves how organizing together for a common cause, with a firm conviction, can build something anew, reform a mindset and make change.

Whether negative or positive, for good or bad, it all works in the same way.

Sarah Palin has been under attack from the left since the moment she stepped onto the stage with John McCain.  Truth is, in that moment in time, it didn't even matter what she said.  She had US at the princess wave waltzing upon center stage along with her happy shiny lipstick dominating the jumbo-tron.  It didn't matter what she said, because in an instant, she was a breath of fresh air to an otherwise dying campaign, suffocating on it's own worn out rhetoric and promises.  McCain had a snowballs chance in he** before a Sarah came in on a wing and prayer; we all knew it, felt it through and through -- how could we keep up with the good fight against an opponent so brilliant, so refreshing, something so unmistakably progressive and enlightening -- America had never witnessed anything like this before in a potential president!

The feelings that stirred within us, as a country, were of hope and change of all things! Everything we perceived as good and proper and timely and transparent was to come our way if we entrusted this new man, this new age of a President, it was a level of assurance and abilities that went way beyond the color of his skin; a majority of white, middle class Americans -- Independents, Democrats and even some Republicans -- voted for him because everyone was thinking the same thing.  Everyone thought he was the real deal and in for the long haul with the right tools and experiences to fix US.

We all thought about it, all together, and came to the same conclusions as a whole -- we said we wanted Barack Hussein Obama as the President of the United States.

Now, perhaps there were African-Americas who voted for him because he was simply, an African-American -- it didn't matter what he said to them.  For the rest of us, it did matter; so low and behold, we voted for him because of what he said, the substance back behind the man. WE, as a whole, voted for the substance -- not the first African-American -- we voted for the whole package (and what a yummy package, indeed -- just get a load of the media fanning and flaunting over his Hawaiian hard body even before he became the Leader of the Free World -- McCain, not so much)

But this constant insistence from the media to redirect America's attention to the bigotry and racial prejudice in America, apparently all coming from the right and not a smidgen from the left, is, in a word -- ignorant; oh, and in another, stupidity (one of Big O's fave's); oh, and another (typical liberal) hypocrisy; and another, irresponsible (inciting further anger and misguided emotion on both sides)...it simply doesn't help in the least bit.Things like...

"I know how the 'tea party' people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health-care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their 'Obama Plan White Slavery' signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads." --Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy

or,

"just what are the tea partiers really angry about? Health care reform or the fact that it was an African-American president and a woman Speaker of the House who pushed through major change?" --MSNBC host Chris Matthews

Just where is the acceptance of both sides of the debate?  This used to be the mainstay of media everywhere -- presenting solid arguments, making observations of both sides, being truthful and righteous in separating the facts from the fiction -- even going so far as supporting, more often than not, the case of the underdog.

But no, what we get now, are the same sound bites processed and repackaged for the MSM to resell to the masses under some kind of preferred, fancy label, only regurgitating the truth into merely something less than inspiring, and more than shock value, only giving us tidbits of what they want you to see, along with the left-brain dialogue to support it's contents and deeper message hidden under the personal attacks, you know, the kind of attacks that project even more evil, and even more disdain, and even more intolerance.  It really is quite clever.

Perhaps we could turn to the "Thirteenth Rule", found within the chapter on TACTICS, as provided by S'Linskey, in Rules for Radicals:

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Oh my goodness, maybe Sarah is putting S'linskey rules in play.

Anyone from the left should be quite proud; perhaps she is merely taking aim and making claims from the master himself...how could they not find this heartwarming and send a tingle up their leg, putting into practice tactics from the "pragmatic primer" itself?

Of course, Sarah could be using the fourth rule,

"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules."

oooh, or even the one after that,

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."

ooh, or the one after that,

"A good tactic is one that your people enjoy."

The thing is, sometimes we are "organized"; and then again, sometimes, we're not! Some, like a Sarah, can be organized for the good and in sink with the whole; but some, we must all agree, are clearly not.

The actions of one man do not always reflect that of an entire group, otherwise, we would have to assume the same premise when evaluating the consequences of wrongful actions everywhere -- whether it comes in the offensive manipulations of one teacher over a student, a corrupt police officer taking bribes, a politician with a penchant for young aides who will do anything for a fellow countryman/career, or IF, while one person in protest screams (or can't seem to say it without spraying it) something inappropriate or entirely wrong in every which way to Sunday -- for in every situation like these, the actions do not speak for the group. And to think of anything otherwise, you would have to be buried in ignorant bliss, and there is no hope for you (or for that matter, I don't see a'change coming too soon either -- at least, in any kind of change we can believe in, anyway).

This country was made from the seed of self reliance -- being true to ourselves while taking responsibility for what we say, who we associate with, how we live and work and play while keeping in harmony with each other, and ultimately creating a life, a family, a living out of the goodness that is inside each and every one of us.  We the people of this great nation, grew from the seeds of freedom and justice and liberty for all -- and most of us, still believe it to this day...you would just never know it if you paid any attention to the MSM.

The MSM has lost it's way, but for the most of US -- we haven't; we know what we are made of, we are made of resolute principles and an array of values we hold near and dear; and we believe, that as a people, as a whole, we truly can come together, for the good of all -- not made of campaign rhetoric, but a way of life -- a living of our religion, our convictions, our love of country tried and true... 

There is a side to America that still believes in unity, not through tearing each other apart, or through targeting the differences -- but through organizing for the return of an America we know and love -- the one that is just waiting to burst forth from the salt of the earth.  Some of us can even taste it.

Sarah has set her sights on this for America, targeting her own personal power to make it so and to attract those who believe the same to come together, organized and resolute, calmly but with inner strength, for change; she has the focus on it, she's made it her mission, she embodies the seed from which all good comes -- a strong, fertile America, ripe with freedom, liberty and prosperity for all. 

What the MSM seems to be missing is the thought back behind her targets, what she thinks about comes from a higher place; and it is precisely that which the Tea Party Organization is all about, too -- and to think of anything else would not only be an error of judgment, but an outright devious and diabolical thought, and the shame would be on you.

"Man [or substitute America] is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.  By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man [or America] is their maker and master."  From James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

Make it a Good Day, G

there has always been reason I remind us all -- and mostly myself -- to MAKE it a good day.
