Tea Parties all around!

Yesterday, all over the nation sprouted up TEA Party rallies. Standing up against too much taxes. If you haven't already guessed, TEA stands for "Taxed Enough Already". I would have considered to go and join in on a rally if I didn't have a root canal occupy my time yesterday.

I have been reading about these TEA parties in the news and find it interesting that when conservatives protest, the liberals call it "Grumbling about paying their taxes". But when liberals protest its for the "common cause", for a "better purpose". It just goes to show how liberal our media is and a protest is only good if it is liberals doing it. Other wise it is called "complaining".

I understand that there needs to be some taxes to keep America running, but it has come to the point where we can be taxed TOO Much! This is what these TEA Parties are about! Letting our government know that enough is enough. The answer should be Stop the Spending! NOT Tax More!

I think it is about time conservatives start to make some noise! I only wish I could have joined in yesterday, instead of being at the Dentist!

Stimulus Package = Religious Discrimination!

I found this article from the Back to the Constitution website. It was actually written by my husband who is one of the writers. This website was founded by Andrew Biddinger who also started a Back to the Constitution Ning Group.

If you are a Value Voter and want our country to come back to the Constitution. Then this group is definitely for you. Check us out and join! It is a great place to discuss and be aware of current events.

Stimulus Package Includes Religious Discrimination

by Harrison Farr
Feb 4, 2009

Say what? I thought the same thing. But according to The Christian Post, schools that accept federal funding for the renovation of their facilities are prohibited from allowing religious activities to be conducted in those facilities. That means kicking out Christian clubs, groups, even churches who have no where to meet except in public university buildings that aren’t used on Sunday mornings.

The American Center for Law and Justice found this provision in Section 803 of the current stimulus bill being debated in the Senate. Text below:

“Grants awarded under this section shall be for the purpose of modernizing, renovating, and repairing institution of higher education facilities that are primarily used for instruction and research.” Funds may not be used for “modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities -(i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or (ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission.”

The ACLJ is looking in to the issue to determine if there are any legal grounds to oppose the provision. Americans need to be watchful. Congressional Democrats are sneaking in wasteful and inherently wrong items given the urgency of this bill. Republicans have released a list of wasteful items in the stimulus package. You can find that list here.

Quilting for Soldiers

Today was my first time attending a group hosted by blue star moms that meets once a month to make quilts for our wounded Soldiers. We send the quilts we make to Quilts of Valor. I had a blast! It was nice to enjoy the company of other quilters while supporting our Heroes. I added a ChipIn to the right and below if any one is interested in donating fabric money for the quilts my group makes.

Obama and ?Change?

I would have to say that this is probably one of my favorite Stoplights. Please take a look....

The Huckabee Report

I encourage you to tune in to Mike Huckabee's most recent venture called The Huckabee Report. I just started watching it this week and am hooked. Huckabee keeps you up to date with current events with a witty point of view. If you miss it on the radio you can check it out on his site under the On Demand link. Below is a snippet from his show.

The Huckabee Report
January 13, morning commentary

Cecilia Velazquez has won a 2200$ Prize from the Mexican government for the worst example of pointless red tape. Every 2 weeks she needs a prescription refill for her sick son. And to get it she has to obtain 7 bureaucrats signatures. It takes at least 4 days each time. Still want the government to manage your health care?

Stoplight - Yes Pecan!

Huckabee on Israel...

I found this excellent article on Israel by Mike Huckabee discussing Israel and why they have a right to defend themselves.

Israel - by Mike Huckabee

The intensifying military situation along the Israeli border has kept my attention the past few days. I have made 10 trips to that area, the most recent in August. I’m including some photos from that trip, including some from my meeting with former and likely future Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as some photos of my standing on a rooftop in Sderot, just across the border from Gaza and the area that has suffered the most of the rockets fired from Hamas positions in Gaza. In one of the photos, you will see a small sample of the retrieved rockets that were fired into people’s homes, parks, and public streets. Despite a so-called “truce,” Hamas continued to launch over 8400 rockets into Sderot through August alone. Given the population of this Israeli community, the odds were 1 in 17 that you would be hit by a Hamas rocket.

Some do not understand the delicate nature of this situation. Here is the simple picture: Hamas is not a legitimate government, but a terrorist organization. Israel has the right not only to exist, but to expect some level of security. The borders are not miles away, but mere meters away. Those of us in the United States would never tolerate having Osama Bin Laden setting up shop 300 yards from our homes and allowing his thugs and terrorists fire rockets at our children’s schools or into the roofs of our homes. The Israeli’s shouldn’t be expected to tolerate that either.

Israel is doing what we would do---what they SHOULD do—to let Hamas and the rest of the world know that they will protect themselves and not allow a rogue government to attack them. Pray for the “peace of Jerusalem” and the rest of the world as we start this new year.

More freedom for Adoption not Abortion

I find it very interesting and frustrating that America, mainly liberals are so interested in more freedom's for abortions. They want to make it easier and easier for Women to have abortions. No more restrictions they say.

Where are the activists who want to make it easier and easier to have an adoption? More parents would have an adoption if it was easier and less expensive. It would encourage more adoptions, but at the moment it discourages even those with their heart set on adoption. There are so many restrictions and rules on adoption that it makes it difficult to adopt. Yes there should be some restrictions to make sure the child goes into a loving home, but there are too many at this moment. It is like this country wants to send the message. More abortions to kill our babies, less adoptions to save our babies. Now does that logic make sense?

I care deeply about this subject. First because I am against the slaughtering of babies and Second because whether I have biological children or not, Harrison and I plan to adopt. Why? Because there are already too many children that people don't want. I want to take one of those unwanted children and put them in a loving Christian Home. Jesus said "Let the little Children come unto Me." We need to say the same thing. We need to care for God's babies and his little children.

Worlds motto: Tolerance for Everything but God.

I found this cartoon from a friend on backtotheconstitution.ning.com/ and thought I would share. This really is what the world is coming to. Tolerance for anything, BUT God or his followers. Very sad. Remember this Christmas Season to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For He is the Reason for the Season.
