Veterans Day
Of course the best way to support our veterans would be to do somewhat different from what we did in the recent election. Our veterans worked, fought, got wounded and died pledged to support our constitution. Most of the politicians we elected and re-elected are there to bypass our constitution and usurp our freedoms. Why do we consistently elect such anti-freedom nannies, tax-mongers and tyrants? Two reasons. One, the people voting do not take the time to become educated about the polititians and the issues and two, too many people do not bother to vote at all.
If you only have 100 people voting, it only takes 51 fools to elect the wrong one. If you have 10,000 people voting, it takes 5001 fools to elect the wrong one. It is always easier to fool 51 people than to fool 5001. There is a poem that has been floating around the net for some time. I have no idea who wrote it, but it is very good. I have put it here ahead of one I wrote that takes current conditions into account. Here they are:
FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.
WILL WE HELP PAY?
Then I couldn't help but think
Of politicians showing pink.
Freedom paid for so dearly,
Freedom stolen so nearly.
The freedom these soldiers died for,
Stolen by politicians for evermore.
"Why have we died?" the soldiers ask?
As nonvoters in front of TV's bask.
As soldiers die in muddy foxholes,
Nonvoters say, "the weather's too bad to go to the polls."
Politics are boring, I don't have the time,
Echo the nonvoters so warm and sublime.
Ban this, ban that, ban freedom is heard
From the politicians with laws so absurd.
The freedom for which the soldiers died,
Stolen by politicos while voters hide.
"We have given our all" soldiers spirits wail,
"Why do you allow these politicians from Hell?"
The right to vote for which they died,
Ignored by people who have no pride.
Politicians salute the flag in lights,
Then hide in dark halls to steal our rights.
Citizens allow these rights to be stolen,
As soldiers bodies become more swollen.
The soldiers are in cemeteries far and wide,
Where is the freedom for which they died?
Legislative nannies are taking it away
We'll control your rights is what they say.
Don't let those soldiers die in vain,
Make your politicians feel thier pain.
The responsibility is on your shoulders
To preserve the freedom paid for by those soldiers.
The soldiers lie dead fighting enemies without,
Preserve and defend our Constitution they shout.
On our citizens at home they depend
To fight the enemies that are within.
Are you doing your part to supervise your elected employees? To see that they are not allowed to work from within to do what our soldiers stopped outsiders from doing? For our grandparents, aunts, uncles, sons and daughters, freedom was worth dying for. Is it worth some of your time to find out what your politicians are doing and keep them from stealing those freedoms little by little? Or will you just sit by, let them take away our property rights, our individual rights, our God-given rights, all the rights that were supposed to be guaranteed by our Constitution?
No, freedom isn't free. Soldiers paid for it with their lives. We must make at least a little sacrifice to pay for it with our time, with our phone calls, with our letters and with our votes.

First Post
My hope is that this blog can be a source of truth and facts to help combat the propaganda ladled out by the government and the major media. I want to give you information that is scientifically correct rather than politically correct. Should you believe us or should you believe the government and the major media? If you have asked that question, then you are still able to free yourself from the media induced brainwashing you have been subjected to.
Simply realizing that there "might" be another side to an issue is the first step to becoming informed rather than just brainwashed. Think about issues that are important to you. Think about the facts you know on these issues and about what you are being told by the media on these issues. Mainly just THINK!
Many people realize that the government and the media are pushing propaganda and downright lies about gun control. They have looked at the facts and seen that, contrary to the lies they keep hearing, crime is lower where there is LESS gun control and higher where there is MORE gun control. Many of these same people, however, simply believe the lies about second hand smoke causing diseases.
Many people have checked the facts and realize that no scientifically correct study has ever shown any relationship between second hand smoke and any disease, yet they believe the lies about gun control. Many of them also believe the lies about the wonders of the low cholesterol diet.
Many people have done some research and found that the cholesterol from one boiled egg is the most your body can absorb from your stomach in a days time. They know that nearly all blood cholesterol is manufactured in your body from starches and sugars, not absorbed from high cholesterol foods you eat. They know that most of the dietary "information" they get from the government and major media is simply more lies. Many of these people, however, believe the lies from the gun control and the anti-smoking nuts.
Many people have looked at the subject of seat belts. They have found that seat belt laws cause more deaths and injuries, not fewer. They know that in about 30% of wrecks, seat belts will kill you or increase your injuries, in about 20% of wrecks, seat belts make no difference whatsoever, and in about 50% of wrecks seat belts can save you or decrease your injuries. This makes it a 50-50 proposition and should be a personal choice, not a fee grabbing opportunity. Many of these same people, however believe the government lies about gun control, smoking, and diets.
I know this has run on for a while, but these are just four issues that have a common theme. All are being lied about by the government and the major media. Does this make you wonder how many more issues are being lied about? It should. Even the least inquisitive of us have found some subject where they know they are being lied to. It is time to realize that if the government and major media will lie about one subject, they are likely to lie about any subject.
We have found that if the government line is in favor of one side of an issue, it is quite likely that the other side has merit. If the government and major media agree on one side of an issue and act as if it would be foolish to even "think" about the other side, then the other side definitely has merit. Any issue pushed by the government and major media needs to be carefully checked out. In most cases, you will discover you have been told lie after lie.
What can you do about it? You can search out the truth and publish it on this site for starters. You can read this site to find the truth about issues you don't have time to research. You can throw facts at your congress critters and those who want to be your congress critters and let them know you are tired of being fed bull crap by your employees in Washington and in your city, county, and state government. They are YOUR employees, do your duty and supervise them! If they refuse to acknowledge the truth and pass laws based on truth rather than propaganda, fire them and hire some who will do their job correctly!
