Poverty of the Mind: Revisited.

Poverty of the mind is not having the necessary philosophy that is needed in order to meet the challenges of life in a positive, optimistic, and realistic manner. There are many different attitudes a person can adopt in life.  Two attitudes I believe are to important contributors to societal status.  One is the Positive attitude.  The other is the negative attitude.

I believe that a lot of people fail in learning the issues, knowing their candidates, and getting involved in civic responsibilities is because of the, “Everything Sucks. Nothing works.  Why bother?” attitude.  There is also the “Everything will always remain the same” attitude.  Then there is the “What can one person do?” attitude.

I wonder if people realize that by using these attitudes they are actually the reason why society is in such a mess.  When nobody gets involved things remain the same and sometimes get worse.

The idea that brought me to this article was that the poor are victims of circumstances.  I do not subscribe to this attitude.  I know we can put things in perspective. We can concentrate on the good.  We can put our best foot forward.  We can appreciate what we have.  We can enjoy what we have.

I was watching a YouTube video produced by The Four Horse Men yesterday.  The central point of this video was the greed in Wall Street. In my opinion this video had many errors of philosophy.  People are not controlled by Major corporations and the uber-rich.  The actions of business people can affect the lives of everyday people.  However, we do not have to go into debt purchasing their products.

How smart is it to pay 3 times the value of a home on financing alone?  Those in the real estate industry would like us to finance a home and pay four times its value in interest on a loan.  However, we do not have to buy a home that will require 30 years to pay it off.  The same can be said for cars and university education.

Now, where do our attitudes come from? In today’s world our attitudes are the result of electronic media and common social conversation.  There is the grand Common social conversation that the majority understands.  There is Cultural Common Social conversation that the members of a culture understand.

The ideas in the Welfare culture are very poor.  We all know that there are people who-when given the opportunity, will not work and live off others.  There are people who drive drunk.  There are people who go out on the weekend to have fun and spend a lot of time attacking society with their noise and dangerous driving behavior.

My simple psychological doctrine is that thoughts influences emotions and sensations and emotions and sensations influence behavior.  Therefore, I can say that people with bad behaviors have bad thoughts.

Why are you and I who are people of positivism being held hostage by people of the negative? Politicians and special interest groups have told us that poor people need help.  Poor people have the same brain that you and I use to put our best food forward and focus on the good.  We deal with the reality of our lives by being grateful for what we have and enjoying what we have in life.

I am always asking people how they would help a man in his mid-forties who cannot speak English, has no education, has no employable skills, and has a bad attitude. It is true life is what we make it.  We can use our personal skills in order to find a niche in society or we can keep making bad choices with our narrowed minded negativity.

There are people who would tell me that I cannot know for certain that 100% of people who are struggling with life are not doing their best. I am sure they are doing their best.  However, their best is the result of a head full of negative attitude, which is leading to an undesirable life.

I will give some people credit because media sources have created a false reality of life.  The reason many cannot be happy, fulfilled, and at peace is because they are trying to obtain this false reality and failing at it.

The politicians can continue to make welfare, food stamps, federal housing, and healthcare promises.  These promises are how they pander for votes.

We, however, have the intellectual ability to know that these promises are false. We also have the ability to know that gadgets and homes we cannot afford will not bring us peace, love, and joy either.

I can never support more government spending in social programs because I now we all have the necessary skills to engage our industrial environment and get our peace of the pie.  The problem comes from letting others convince us that our piece is not good enough.

We must also admit that there are evil people who enjoy taking advantage of others.  I do not believe that everyone on government assistance is a good person who would live a better life if government would just him or her more of his or her neighbors’ money.

Will those who run red lights, speed, and drive violently ever recognize that they are putting in danger the lives of everyone around them?  Will murderers, rapist, and thieves ever realize the harm they do to their victims?  There is no reason to wait for empathy and sympathy from the super-rich.  They do not owe you anything.  We owe ourselves.

The money they have is not your money.  It was your money.  However, you bought their goods and services and now it is their money. We can all manage our resources better.

The human resources being wasted are good philosophies. Today, we can say that after overspending 9 trillion dollars democrats are failures at helping people.  

Therefore, Obama failed because of his incorrect philosophies.

Many believed he has going to help them.  Many more that need little incentive to mooch of their neighbor were quick to get in line to get their government help.

Everyday around the world people use their negativity to justify the harm they do to others.  Whether it is Republicans working for big business in finding big business cheap labor or a person who has no guilt about the lies he or she  tells for a government check, it is all destructive to society.

That is why I know people do not suffer because of the money they do not have. They suffer because they do not have a healthy attitude about life.

Israel is Fighting the Same Islamo-Facist America is Fighting.

Is anyone asking the political leadership and the people of America to become chummy with the Taliban and Al Qaeda?  The answer is no.  Then why are we asking the political leadership of Israel and the people of Israel to become chummy with Hamas?

Now, there may be some individuals and individuals groups that may ask for conciliation from America and Israel.  Most of these insignificant entities are motivated by a personal agenda of hatred and death and destruction.

In my simple opinion the UN should have never created the Palestine people group near Israel and moved this people group next to Israel.  In addition, I believe that there will never be peace in Israel as long the Palestine people group live next to Israel.  The UN should correct its error and assist the members of Palestine in moving back to Jordan. 

When the UN member countries were considering a geographic area for the Jews, the principle concern was security.  It was the opinion of that time that the Jewish people could only be safe from atrocities such as the Holocaust if they had their own country to live in and defend.  This opinion makes sense to most reasonable people.  However, the UN arranged for land for the Jews and then moved in their sworn enemy next door to the Jews.

I understand that many around the world have no respect for the people of Israel.  Jews have been persecuted in Italy, Spain, Russia, Nazi Germany, and other places. However, the Jewish people are not the dregs of humanity.  They are good and decent people working at providing for themselves and their families just like many people of the world.

The people of Israel did not kill Jesus Christ.  All we sinners crucified Christ. I would personally hope that every Jew has a personal encounter with Christ that leads to them believing in Christ and accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.  However, I do not believe in conversion by the sword.

For those anti-Jew people two dates are important.  One is around the 1890’s and the other is 1948. Many of these people believe that the Jews should be geographically center today in the same place they were in on the 1890’s.

The “heritage” of the people of Israel surpasses these dates. The Jews were in Israel when the so-called prophet Mohamad was alive. The Knights Templar assigned themselves as defenders of Israel and went to Jerusalem attempt to free Israel from the Islamist.

The Templar was eventually defeated.  The Muslims sites in Israel today were built during this time of conflict with the Templar.

Therefore, the claims of Islamist to any part of Israel are false.  The Islamist superimposed their Religion on Israel after they invaded historical Israel.

Therefore, what is the belief system that Palestine people can offer as justification for their continued conflict with Israel? The people of Israel are in the lands of their fathers. The people of Israel are not forcing anyone to convert to Judaism. The people of Israel are not economic expansionist.

All people strive for peace. Unfortunately, there are real evil people in the world.  It is too easy to say that outside forces such as Iran are at work in the Palestine and Israel conflict.  One of my biggest problems with Iraq and Afghanistan is that I know many in these countries are closet supporters of the insurgents.  Many Palestine people are closet supporters of Hamas.

Therefore, even without outside interference the Palestine people would still be trying to dominate the people of Israel.  Peace is a simple issue.  Everyone put down your weapons and return to your respective homes.

We all can understand such a simple concept. Islamist do not have the right to try to “convert or kill” those of us who disagree with them.  Therefore, the people of Palestine and their supporters around the world are going to have to find a way for Palestine people to stop trying to murder everyone they hate.

Therefore, there should be no more US AID for Palestine.  The UN should pass a resolution making it a crime to render aid to Palestine.  The US should make it a crime for American citizens and American companies to do business with Palestine.

Now many may say my perspective is narrowing minded.  I have the rhetoric about Israeli atrocities. This attitude about my narrow mindedness has to do with people’s convenient history.  Real history gives Israel the Moral High Ground.

Even with this High Ground the carnage cannot continue.  All people have an interest in defending human rights.  We are part of the human family.  We all know pain and suffering.  We are not justified in doing nothing while our brothers and sisters are murdered.

Any people group that desires fair consideration has to prove that their members can be decent people.  We prove we are decent by being non-violent.

No one has the right to promote their ideology by the use of violence.  The people of nations have to demand that their governments refuse to do business with violent people as a tool to control violent people.

Most global violence is still from the hands of Iran’s religious leaders.  Why are nations reducing sanctions against Iran? Immoral Europe cares more about business with Russia than the people Russia is murdering.  We the people need to stop this kind of financial morality. Europe does business with Russia.  Americans need to demand that America stop doing business with Europe.

In a different point and time in history I probably would not say anything about political and financial corruption in this issue.  However, today life itself is in jeopardy. Yesterday, I read that a city in China of 30,000 has been quarantine because of the “plague” taking a life in this city.

Are those people safe?  Will the political leadership in China that has no morality to speak of burn these people alive in an effort to stop the spread of this disease?

The lack of moral ethics in business and political people jeopardizes all our lives.  Palestine has no legitimate reason to continuously attack Israel.  Political leaders and people around the world have no legitimate reason to demand that Israel sit down for a chit chat with her enemies.

All of us have a legitimate interest in insuring people groups are non-violent. This means we must understand basic standards of decency. All of us have the right to our opinion.  No one has the right to use violence in the promotion of their opinion, unless our lives are in danger.  Then we have the right to self-defense.

Every Day Americans Should Define the Issues; Not Politicians.

In November of 2014 some Americans will be choosing leaders in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.  All members of the House have to run for re-election and only 1/3 of Senators have to run. 

What I find interesting is that people in the news media are not reporting on the supposed issues that these candidates for congress will be promoting.  Nationally, the national debt, wasteful and irresponsible spending, and illegal immigration are the current issues.

Moreover, the President’s weak posture concerns many conservatives.  Obama has said that America is safer now.  Yet, global terrorist are reconstituting.  At a time of global mourning, Obama speaks curtly and goes on to tell jokes.  This is rude, disrespectful, and insensitive. Who can respect America?  Who can trust America? I hope the people of the world know Obama is not America. Many of us in the US still respect life and have great consideration for life.

Many say all politics are local.  Here in my world I know that another “stinking liberal democrat” will be elected to the House.  At least the Texas Senators are not “stinking liberals”.

Only what belongs to a person a person can share with others.  My stuff belongs to me and I am the person who decides if I want to share my stuff.  When you have a job that requires little or no education and no experience, you will get paid a low hourly wage.  High school dropouts, people who have no university degree, and/or people not innovative enough to find a high paying niche have no right to demand a high hourly wage.  Mexicans are only interested in the US because Americans have made an economic power house of the US. Mexicans have no interest in Afghanistan and/or Cuba.

There is the problem.  Politicians define the issues.  Then they spend time and money using these issues to manipulate American voters in to action.

Unfortunately, too many people of the modern world are not wise enough to free themselves from the liberal news media’s brainwashing.  Many need the liberal news to tell them what to think and feel.

However, are the issues defined by politicians the issues of our personal lives?  Many of us do just fine in life without the government stealing from our neighbor to give to us. Even though we know employers like to take advantage of employees many of us are smart enough not to play their game. The majority of us do not help illegals from Mexico.

We understand that any government-municipal, county, state, national-should keep its business to the basic services such as garbage collection and security.  In five years Obama and the Congress have overspent 9 trillion dollars. Does America look 9 trillion dollars better?

She does not to me. That is why we need to stop listening to their propaganda.  We all know that the problem with the US government is Social Experimentation that is the result of business manipulation of governments.

The bigger problem is many Americans who watch the liberals news just to have their “Nothing works.  Everything sucks.  So why bother?” attitude reinforced, which justifies their apathy and justifies them not voting.

However, we are seeing that the “reason to bother” is because when we do not bother, elected officials at all levels do what they want.  In 2013 and 2014 many conservatives saw Republicans in congress obsessed with passing illegal immigration reform.  The majority in America has spoken clearly on this issue of illegal immigration reform and they do not want “it”.

In addition, the Republicans in congress have helped Obama raise the National Debt Limit and have helped Obama continue to waste and spend the Americans money. This apathy from elected officials towards every day Americans interferes with Americans ability to live the life they want to live.  High taxes mean less money for the individual. The behavior of the Congress and President means less jobs, careers, and investment opportunities. 

I was born in Mexico.  I have lived in a border town for over 40 years.  All my life, I have heard the majority in the Mexican culture around me brag about how they are defrauding the government or plan to defraud the government. Many who receive welfare and food stamps in the Texas El Paso County live in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.  All they need is a friend or family member willing to lend them their American address.

All of this fraud cost the American tax payer.  These personal corruptions exist because many Americans allow politicians to manipulate them.

You and I know that law and order prevents chaos and anarchy. In reality, the majority of us know “right from wrong”. We do not need politicians confusing the issues with their convoluted propaganda.

We should know how to communicate to elected officials that we want them to concentrate on “basic services” and stop being the reason people are not personally responsible and self-reliant.  I know that it is hard to fight “political machines”, “special interest groups”, and “the communist propaganda machine”-i.e. the liberal news media. However, when we let elected officials and bureaucrats alone things get worse and we all have to pay high taxes to fix their mess.

I still believe that good people can be elected.  Regardless who gets elected, we should be prepared to harass them within an inch of their lives in order that they do our will and not theirs.

Life and Death: Cost Benefit Analysis of Modern Geo-politics.

The English were burning aborted babies to heat themselves by burning these dead bodies in their furnaces.  When Putin invaded Crimea the European Union member nations were more concerned about their heat for the winter them standing up for to defend “free people”.

Barak Hussein Obama is all about politics.  Obama wanted to send troops into Libya. Many criticized Obama for such a foolish perception. Mr. Obama drew the red line in the sand of “no chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war” and failed to act when Syria gassed thousands. Terrorist attacked the American Embassy in Benghazi and Obama and company turn the attack into a political campaign against “Christian extremist “in order to attack Mitt Romney because of his Mormon faith and distract people from Obama and Hillary’s failure to provide adequate protection for American state department employees.

Obama started his presidency betraying Poland and the Czech Republican by not installing the missile defends arranged under George W. Bush.  From the beginning of his presidency Obama has been trying to make it difficult for Israel to defend herself.

Therefore, today when so many democrats are struggling to get reelected Obama has calculated that it is better to hide in the shadows.  This is his cost benefit analysis.  For Obama it is better to stay out of trouble than to jeopardize what little help he has in the US Congress.  Again it is all about petty politics for Obama.

This is why a president who is supposedly hardcore about illegal immigration reform has demanded that the 300,000 so called refugees be returned to their countries.  For one, with his rhetoric he appears tough on immigration which he believes will help democrats in the midterm election.  Second, because his rhetoric does not turn into action these new illegal immigrants get to stay and help Obama with his morbid illegal immigration reform.

In business “cost benefit analysis” weighs cost like injuries to a customer verses cost to repair the products failings. Sometimes the cost of injuries to the customer is less than the cost to fix the product.  Therefore, the company does not repair the product and if lawsuits develop the company settles out of court.

Therefore, people around the world are figuring out the cost of getting involved verses the cost of not doing anything.  I do believe that what happens in Europe needs a European solution. The US is the regional power in the North America continent.  China is the regional power in the Asian sector.  Russia is the regional power in its little region of the world.

Of course, I am defining regional power by money and military strength.  Regional powers should also have great morality. However, the modern morality of any power is built on “cost benefit analysis”. Political leaders have decided who has value, who does not have value, who lives, and who dies.

Obama failed in not standing up and defiantly condemning the human rights violation by the downing of the Malaysian airplane by Russia.  However, because of his petty midterm politic initiatives he could not appear to be dragging voting democrats into another conflict outside of America’s borders.

Today, we can say that leaders of nations are not staunch supporters of human life.  However, everything that happens around the world directly affects my life.  The attitude in America by many Americans that leads them not to choose better leaders will collapse American society, which will make my life harder- if not greatly threaten my life.  Crime will rise.  Markets and industries will fail. Quality healthcare will hard to obtain.

Mexicans are from an immoral race.  They do not appreciate law and order.  They have no respect for God’s law, man’s law, or even the laws of nature. I see how their immorality is negatively affecting the morality of Americans.  Many Americans are choosing criminal and immoral behavior as long as they get what they want out of life.

The “cost benefit analysis” of every Americans cannot be equivalent to Mexican immorality.  In order to save the US we must practice good morality and good ethics.  Americans cannot be of the attitude that because politicians and businesses are corrupt they can be corrupt. These attitude practiced by over 95 percent of the Mexican people is what destroyed Mexico.

Conservative Americans are not being cruel by demanding that Mexicans stop entering the US illegally.   These Americans are practicing tough love.  We need to look the Mexicans in the eye and tell him and her you are immoral, unethical, and you do not get to be part of American society because you threaten life in America.

Therefore, our “cost benefit analysis” cannot involve the convenience of not confronting the Mexican.  We already know that Republicans are a useless resource in reducing spending, paying down the national debt, and enforcing America’s immigration laws. Media is largely a source of propaganda, brainwashing, and manipulation.

When we negatively criticize this and that system we are probably correct.  However, we need to start looking within ourselves.  Do we love America?  Are we willing to give her our best?

Writ of Civil War

For a long time elected officials, liberal media, business, and special interest have been manipulating public policy in order to personally prosper.  Together these powers forge tax policy, business regulation, and social policy.  The end result is abuse of the American Tax Payer.

Today, Americas first challenge is the 17 trillion national debt crisis.  Elected officials cannot mismanage the public purse and spend irresponsibly and then expect the tax payers to fix the problem.  

However, currently there is a serious arrogant and disrespectful attitude from politicians towards American citizens.  The lack of spending restraint and the illegal immigration reform obsession are proof of the violation of the public will by politicians.

I am going to say that there is a deliberate effort by current politicians to transfer power from Corporate America to liberal special interest groups.  In my opinion, Republicans are part of this ploy.

Elected officials do not want free people with liberty, and independence  finding their own personal success.  For those who want to manipulate society in order to rule it is better that they tells us what to think and feel and where to work.

Their scheme involves turning neighbor against neighbor.  We, who believe in private property rights, right to life, personal responsibility, and self reliance, are made to appear cruel and insensitive towards those who are supposedly struggling.

However, it was Obama with help of congress who doubled the national debt and has nothing to show for it.  I would have to say that with 9 trillion dollars it should be easy to feed, clothe, shelter, and give healthcare to every Americans and their pets.

Yet, unemployment is still high.  Just because Obama does not count people who have given up looking for work does not mean the unemployment rate is low.  The people who had their lives devastated by the economic crisis of 2008 have not disappeared.  They are still part of the American experience.

Furthermore, businesses are still refusing to invest.  There exist a large distrust for Obama and the US congress’s tax increase desires.  I cannot blame any business owner who is concerned about growing their business just to give up their profits in high taxes.

No business person or wealthy person created the 17 trillion national debt crisis.  Those who contribute to a healthy economy should not be punished because of the irresponsible spending of the president and the congress.

In fact, most resent policies of the US president and the US congress reduce opportunities and advantages. There are not enough jobs, careers, and business investments for the people of America.

The president, special interest groups, and even many in congress obsess on extreme social issues such as homosexual marriages and illegal immigration. Because of these obsessions Americans religious and other individual freedoms are being compromised.
It is not hard to see how liberals orchestrated the taking over of American society.   They filled the courts with their gang members.  The got their gang members elected to public office. Their gang members in the media brainwashed the average American individual with repetitive anti-Judeo Christian messages into believing that right is wrong and wrong is right.

Now, people of traditional values are seeing their Judeo Christian society fading away.  The emphasis that was on personal success, family, raising children, having a home, and serving God is now on the consumption sensual pleasures.

I have to say that when government, media, and special interest come in to our home to rob us of our traditions we have no choice but to fight back.  In one city the citizens of that city gathered and demonstrated in front of where illegal immigrant children were going to be housed and were able to have those busses turn around and leave.

I heard many on the conservative side try to give the admonition of not appearing cruel to the citizen demonstrators of this city.  I congratulate the members of this city for fighting back. Enough is enough.  Our complete way of life is under attack.  We have no choice but to defend our selves.

Media, politicians, and special interest have decide the traditional American values are no longer worth anything.  Our values may not be worth anything to them.  They have to be priceless to us. Therefore, it is time to demonstrate, protest, confront jail, and even confront our mortality.

A society built on liberal values will not last. It is free individuals using freedom, independence, and liberty to purse their dreams, goals, desires, and ambitions who create economic development that leads to jobs, careers, and business invest opportunities.

Christian values make healthy people who are not a burden to their neighbor and who also help maintain a safe and secure society with their good and healthy behavior.   People with values do not speed, run red lights, have children they cannot afford, divorce, abuse children, join gangs, have children who join gangs, abuse drugs and alcohol, and harm their neighbors in any other way.

Therefore, if we want to see America saved it is time to say enough is enough and start fighting back by any means necessary.  The mid term congressional elections of 2014 in November are crucial.  However, regardless of who gets elected conservatives are going to have to harass these politicians everyday of their lives.

It is essential to keep promoting conservative values in a peaceful and attractive manner.  We cannot keep quiet just because they do not want to listen.   We have to listen to them praise homosexuality and the criminal act of illegal immigration.

I know people do not like the idea of civil war.  No good person desires carnage, death, and destruction. However, when our perfectly good values that do not harm any one and promote decency and goodness in life are under attack then we are left with no other option but the “right of self-dense“.

American Social Dynamics Contribution to Failures in Afghanistan and Iraq.

There is a person in your life you trust.  If that person gave you directions to a place you were going to visit, you would follow his or  her instructions to the letter.

Sometimes when I write I think that maybe I am wasting my time.  Our modern technological culture has  a lot of information delivery systems.  Most of us are greatly influenced by these systems and believe these systems are telling us the truth. When some one tries to correct these incorrect messages or speak about how these messages contribute to negative attitude most people will not listen.

These information delivery systems were part of the problem in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The majority of news media sources spent their time reporting on everything they said was going wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The reality is that military operations in these two countries went as planned by the Bush administration.  Things changed when Muslim extremist came in to these countries to fight against Americans.

It took very little time for the liberal news, petty democrats, and petty republicans to turn American society against “the wars”.  When I talk to people most of the time  all I hear is them repeating what they heard on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, or their local news.  This is why I avoid talking to people.

My calculation is that pettiness in American politics is the reasons for failure in Afghanistan and Iraq.   These countries social dynamics are just as complicated as the social dynamics of the US.  They have corrupt information delivery systems.  They have people of varying morality in politics and bureaucracies.  They have members of society with varying life philosophies.  They even have members of their society who lust after power and blood.

It is hard to have a unified approach with so many individual moving parts.   Unity was necessary and is necessary to build a secure world and  have secure nations.

However, we as people enjoy pettiness.  We will argue for sake of arguing.   I understand the need for self defense and personal security.   Afghanistan with Al Qaeda and the Taliban is a dangerous threat to individual security and national security.  Iraq, with a leader who behind closed gates had produced many WMDs was a great threat to America. Why would Mr. Saddam changed his behavior, morality, and psychology unless he was forced to change?

Therefore, “ the wars” were necessary.  The major problem was the lack of maturity in politics and the lack of maturity in citizens.

I know what a liberal thinks and what a liberal will do in life.  They are narrow minded and cannot see the big picture behind personal responsibility and self reliance.  Society is falling apart because people are failing at being good people.

What I cannot understand is how people who are not liberals acts like liberals.  They attack standards, principles, and morality.  We have to be more than what the electronic media makes us into.

I am convinced that the animosity people have towards each other is due to “powers and principalities unseen”.  These forces are using the media to manipulate us in to being petty and negative.

Yesterday, I was wondering if people understand that when they vote they are voting for someone who is addicted to one or more vices.  Government service is where a person can gorge on his or her vices.  Therefore, there pathetic policy initiatives of politicians are understandable.  Politicians just listen to their corporate masters.

However, are we better then them?  Do we have the ability not to be lead around by a Communist media?

When Afghanistan and Iraq fall they will become Islamic states worse than Iran.  I understand that corruption in the politicians of this area, Muslim extremist, and an  apathetic citizenry contributed to the failure in building stable  and secure nations. However, if allowed to fail, these nations unified with Iran will pose a great threat to America.

Now, the human dynamics in America of the “war of opposition democrats“, a liberal biased news media, corporate manipulators, and easily manipulated  citizens contribute to a dysfunctional American society.   When looking at the dangerous corner Americans have backed them selves into with failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, and US national politics one has to look at all the individual moving parts.

Barak Hussein Obama is a complete and utter empty head.  In the real world, there is  a need for building relationships.  Obama’s behaviors in Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany Mexico, Czech Republic, Poland, and other areas have led to a distrust of America. However, the world is more dangerous.  Blaming and hating this president for his ineptness is not going to minimize the threat.

We are going to have to grow up and realize that we influence political direction with our attitude.  Our attitude has been carefully crafted by the media.

In America’s social-political dynamics someone is going to have to take control.  Going done the current road will lead to disaster.

There are a lot of people saying it is over for the world and America.  I say it is over when we decide to give up.  I do not have confidence and/or respect for politicians, bureaucrats, media, corporate America, and many citizens.

I do trust myself.  I work at been an honest, sincere, rational, and reasoned individual who can review the facts and come to a balanced conclusion.  I know that there are many more people out there who are mature and rational.

America’s first real problem is the mismanagement and irresponsible spending by the President and the Congress which has led to a 17 trillion national debt crisis.  The second challenge is a president with a sever negative business attitude, which has interfered with economic growth in America.  

The lack of attention to the will of the people by Republicans and Democrats is another major challenge in America. The majority of the people in America do not desire nor want illegal immigration reform.   In my assessment, the people of Mexico are people with a serious lawless attitude and this attitude is dangerous to American society.  

Democrats you do not have control of the nation.  Obama was reelected.  However, the majority in the House of Representatives is a quasi Republican majority.  One could say the House of representatives is closer reflection of American society then the White House or Senate.

America is in trouble.  However,  politicians and bureaucrats are not the only troublemakers,  People in government have the responsibility of maintaining a safe and secure society with basic services.  Our lives belong to us and we are the ones who have to provide ourselves with the basics of life regardless of the economic environment.

Muslim extremist are a major threat to America. However, they pose a greater threat to the countries around them. Rich Arab nations and Europe should take the lead in the threats from a failing Afghanistan and Iraq.

America is always getting ridiculed and criticized by the people around the world.  I do believe that other nations have to start taking the initiative in dealing with threats to the human race.  It is unacceptable for Europe to let Putin murder people in Crimea just so Europe can have fuel for winter.  It is also unacceptable for us to allow the individual parts of social dynamics to manipulate us and make us into petty immature people who cannot properly assess societal challenges and construct appropriate strategies.

The Simple Pleasures of Life: A Guide To life.

First, I will explain that this article will serve as my principal message to the people of the modern world.  I heard Mr. Glen Beck comment on his radio show that he did not know how to live.  I found this is a strange statement from a person with a major media company.  Therefore, I am going to try to write a simple guide to life in order to help people find the balance of Peace, Love, and Joy in life.

Well, I am going to start where most people would desire I would not start.  However, even though I am still practicing my personal war with God I have to start there in this article.

Life does begin with God.  He is the reason anything exist.  When a person is looking for balance in life he or she needs to understand that balance is only possible if that person recognizes the one true God and tries to live according to His will in life.

The one true God wants people to believe in Him and to accept Him as their Lord and Savior.  Most of us, being far removed from human history, think we know everything and that man created God in order to deal with their complicated lives.

God is real.  If you open your heart and mind He will reveal Himself to you.  Then you will know the truth and be able to find balance in life.

After God is the individual.  The source of our distress is important.  What we do to ourselves with our negative inner speech is even more important.

We are the reason we do not feel good and are not satisfied with life.  We perceive life as bad and we even believe we are bad. This is the result of our failures, disappointments, and the abuse we have received in life.

I believe that regardless of our current situation we can be happy with what we have in life and enjoy what we have in life.  We can be positive, optimistic, and realistic.

We are equipped to think, organize, plan, and act.  Therefore, we have all the skills necessary to find an income-niche in life and build a pleasant and enjoyable life.

See, there is no difference in our life today then yesterday.  Yesterday, people yearned for romance, the joy of childbirth; parenting, personal success, and pride from raising children well and seeing their children achieve personal and professional success.

Life seems monotonous because the electronic media gives us the message of a superficial wealth-success. 

 When we do not accomplish this success,  we feel empty and stop feeling peace, love, and joy.

However, if we realized that a good life is still possible we would feel better about ourselves.  It is not our job to control the world.

We are to find an income, unite with a special romantic partner, make children, raised those children with love and wisdom, enjoy their development, commune with friends, read, listen to music, hike, canoe, bicycle, walk in the park, respect and care for good neighbors,  and follow the one true God.

I now consider Doug Stephen of the Doug Stephen Good Day radio show a complete fool.  I have been forced to listen to this person more than I would want to in life. One day, he and his radio hosts were talking about the violence in Crimea and Ukraine.  Mr. Stephen went on a tirade about why these issues needed to be discussed.

After the commercial break Mr. Stephen was absent from the group. Apparently snow caused a barn roof to collapse on some of his cows.  Mr. Stephen returned to the show bummed out about his cows.  I was interested in how Mr. Stephen could put more importance on the lives of cows and not the people of Crimea and Ukraine.

Recently, Mr. Stephen and company were commenting on the religious types who think they are the chosen group of people of God.  I believed they called us arrogant. 

We true followers of God do not put ourselves above anyone.  God has set His standards and whoever follows them is set aside by God.

Another issue with Mr. Stephen is an issue important to our time.  This issue is mental health.  When shootings occur, Mr. Stephen perpetuates the same tired and old stereotypes of violence and media.  I do not believe we are going to solve anything if we focus on ignorance instead of true science.

I know you are wondering why in article about finding the balance of peace, love and joy I would mention such a person.  In our world there are a lot of talking heads and most are just agents of negativity.  I consider Glen Beck a very dangerous person.

My hope is that you will understand your negative attitude and were it came from.  It is also my hope that you will see how you can start to build a life of balance and have that pleasurable life you are looking for in your life.

The 24 hour day is going to continue.  We can enjoy our 24 hour cycle with Simple Pleasures of life.  These pleasures are good food and drink, friends, family, music, books, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and other healthy interests.

When we wake up we can put ourselves in the frame of mind of searching for the good in life and putting our best foot forward.   In everything we do, we can include Simple pleasures.  As we are getting ready for our day we can enjoy the people around us with conversation and humor, enjoy music, enjoy something positive on TV, and any other simple pleasure.

On our drive to work we can enjoy simple pleasures of music and/or conversation with the people in the car. At work we can include simple pleasures while we work.

Instead, of focusing on the troublesome co-workers we can focus on the good in life in order to build and maintain a good spirit.  The joy from achievement at work is a simple pleasure.  Being nice to people help us feel good.

Children and a spouse are also simple pleasures.  We can laugh with them.  They offer comfort and guidance.  Spouses have the advantage of intimacy.

Therefore, there is a lot to enjoy in life.  In everything we do in life we can find a simple pleasure that will make our labor more enjoyable and satisfying.

It all starts with how we see things.  If we see everything bad we will feel bad.  However, our goal is to feel good in life.  Therefore, it makes more sense to focus on the good in life.

We should like us.  We have value because we have values.  

No matter the source of our frustration we can diminish that ugly angst by replacing our negativity with a positive attitude.  It is our choice.  We can lament or celebrate.

All of us are heartbroken because of the tragedies around the world.  Understand that these tragedies will exist even after we are gone. Let us not become so obsessed with one thing that we lose sight of everything else that is beautiful.

Nothing is wrong with being civically responsible in our corner of the world.  Maintaining a healthy and secure society is a simple pleasure of life.  We feel good when we take care of what we have in life.

Therefore, they will never bring us a pleasant and enjoyable life.  We have to gift ourselves the beauty of life by putting down the bad and focusing on the good.

Declaw and Defang Corrupt Politicians in 2014

For to long every voting cycle Americans wait for Republicans to send someone down the mountain and promise that he or she will save them.  This political season has to be different. Republicans have already shown god fearing conservative Christians that they cannot trust them.

In the budget battles Republicans gave everything to the democrats.  Meanwhile the national debt has passed a crisis level and keeps growing.  In the illegal immigration debate, republicans showed that they cared more about foreign nationals then the Americans who they were elected to serve.

This political season conservative independent candidates, who do not have the blessing of the RNC , are going to have to step forward. These independents can run as Republicans.  However, they have to know that they will get little if any financial support from the Republican machine.

Those who truly want to keep America strong are going to have to support these candidates.  I think it is time for us to admit to ourselves that we are the reason that America is in such a mess.  We are the ones who let the news media manipulate our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.  Politicians tell the news media what propaganda to promote and we fall in line and follow these manipulators lead.

America does not need the complicated social-politics of people like Barak Hussien Obama.   I would say that many people in business are greedy. That has very little to do with you and I and our lives. A basic and uncomplicated life is possible.  We do not have to experience “burn out”  in order to keep buying their products.

Lobbyist and other political manipulators get their power from the money we give them.  If people really want to stop the mess that business people, special interest, and corrupt politicians make then stop financing big business by refusing to  buy everything they say we need.

Who sells us on the idea that certain type of house is the right kind of house?  Who tells us that a certain type of shoe is the right type of shoe?  Who tells us that we need certain gadgets in order to have a better life?

I believe we all know the answers to these questions.  By allowing ourselves to be manipulated by them, we finance their corruption.

I know people do not want to admit it.  However, we are the reason there is such a big mess in America.  We know about keep it simple stupid.  Yet, we let them lead the conversation and defiance the issues.

It is time that common sense conservative Americans lead the conversation and define the issues.  There are two functions of government as I see it. One if for government to keep departments necessary for basic services functioning in a efficient and effective manner.  The other is guard the public welfare from legitimate threats.
As lethal as clogged arteries are to a person, it is not a legitimist function of government to create dietary law. Government does not need to order us to exercise.

Therefore, most of what all levels of government have been up is outside the true scope of government.  I was watching a documentary about the true political allegiance of many of the founding fathers.  Well these men may of created a system for political elitist control.  However, they also created a system were the every day person is in charge.  All that is needed for people to exercise their political power by being involved and aware of what their elected efficacies are up to in office.

It is not enough to elect them.  You have to hound them every second of their existence while they are in office to make sure they do not allow business and special interest to manipulate them.

The reality is that “term limits” are set by voters.  Voters should make a practice of voting people out and voting new people in every two years.  There is nothing wrong in telling the House and the Senate members all you get is two years to run a lean governmental machine.

I say that making a mess of the country should come at the price of losing their citizenship and expulsion from the country  for these corrupted politicians.. However, all conservatives need to do is vote them out of office.

It will be  hard.  The road to sanity is going to be a hard one.  We will be fighting corrupted politicians, greedy business people, members of special interest, liberal people brainwashed by the media, and even members of the conservative movement.

However, I believe that common sense conservatives can “defang” and “declaw” their politicians. By voting out as many of them as possible every two years the voters insures that these politicians are not around long enough to stop caring for the people and start caring more about business and special interest.  Then when business and special interest realize the people are awake and being civically responsible they will no longer be able to manipulate political power in America.

Look we all know what petty liberals want.  We know what business and special interest want.  We know what the agenda driven liberal media who promotes communist propaganda wants.  We know what people who are not strong and healthy enough not to allow their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to be manipulated by the communist media want.

The question is who are we and what do we want.  People who are strong and healthy enough to see the need for them to control their government are the ones who will save America by putting America’s business back in order.

Failure to Exercise Freedom Does Not Mean You are Powerless.

No one likes to be told that they are the problem.  An immature spouse that is the reason for stress in the marriage experiences uncomfortable shame and embarrassment when they are chastised by their spouse. The same can be said for a bad employee and a child who is caught with the cookie jar before dinner.

However, it is clear that the problem in America is Americans. For decades many Americans have enjoyed the sport of ridicule and have used this negative attitude to justify their failure in being informed and involved.  The politicians do not respect you because you have shown them that they have no reason to respect you.

The agenda-driven liberal news can very easily yank your chain and get you barking.  Liberals in the news have no problem creating false realities.  There was no health care crisis in America.  The Iraq and Afghanistan wars were necessary and properly administered.  The problem was the members of liberal news making up problems and democratic politicians playing petty politics with the wars.

I am confident if the people in charge had been left alone to fight the war according to their expertise the members of the military would of met every challenge the enemy threw at them.   People in the American military are the best trained and most compassionate in the world.  They do not need petty politicians and petty liberal news members to tell them how to do their job.

However, day and night there were the democrats and liberal news members barking about all their perceived problems.  These petty people barked so much that the majority of Americans turned on President George W. Bush.  G.W. Bush had to fight against almost everyone in order to defend America against the great threat of Islamic terrorist.  This why non-conservative actions needed to be done by the president.  The president had to take in to account all attitudes and opinions and build a strategy to deal with everybody.

Therein lies the problem.  Many Americans are not smart enough to choose good leadership and smart enough to understand the big picture.  Even the so-called intellectuals of our society like Bill O’riely and Glen Beck suffer from limited intelligence.  Most talking heads have to please a large audience in order to keep their empire.

To please large audience you have to echo their ideology and philosophies.  Modern day attitude of most people is a very bad attitude.  In my assessment this attitude represents the “Everything Sucks.  Nothing works.  Why bother?” attitude.  Therefore, it is conceivable to suggest that they way to remain a media King of Hill in today’s world is to spend your efforts pointing your finger at everything you perceive is wrong with the world.  This is why people like John Stewart, Bill Maher, and Whoopi Goldberg get such a large audience.  They know how to give people what they want.

These actions by these talking heads poison people with bad attitudes.  Reasonable, rational, and sane logic no longer has any value.  In our modern world hating the person people in the media have told us to hate has more value than gold.  This hate leads to the pettiness of needing to win for the sake of winning.

Let me tell you why liberals are wrong. By promoting the use of public schools to pass out condoms and birth control pills and teaching the lifestyle of gay, lesbian, and transgender people you are interfering in the parents’ right to parent.  The healthy family is the force that maintains society.  In a healthy family a person learns emotional health, intellectual health, spiritual health, respect and adherence to man’s laws, respect and adherence to God’s laws, and civic responsibility. People with these attributes are societal stabilizers.

Therefore, liberals are promoting poor societal health. Healthy people are ambitious and use their wisdom to pursue their dreams. In the pursuit of their dreams and in accomplishing their dreams these healthy people contribute to a healthy economy with jobs, careers, and business opportunities for anyone who is willing to try.

These people also take care of what they have in life.  Citizens take care of America by being in informed and getting involved in all levels of their government. There is no need for government programs to help people in need. There is a great need for promoting the positive healthy attitude that drives people towards healthy personal success, which leads to markets, industries,  careers, jobs, and business opportunities.

The sins of conservatives are greater.  You elect people then walk away.  You only pay attention when something breaks.  There is nothing wrong with conservatism.  We should protect the family, life, society, Freedom, Liberty, and Independence.  Failure to control and manage elected officials is poor conservatism.

Now there is a lot of petty immaturity in all political neighborhoods.  This is the result of how people were raised.  Again, the modern philosophy is , “Everything sucks. Nothing works, Why Bother”.  Let me tell you that as long as this is the pervasive attitudes things will remain the same.

We are in charge of our lives.  No media element can force us to be negative.

We can use our ability to think, organize, plan, and act in the pursuit of our personal success.  Every goal we meet leads to greater confidence.  Greater confidence leads to better self-esteem.

Life will always be challenging.  There is no reason to be distressed or troubled.   The issues of our lives have to be answered.  We only cause ourselves pain and suffering when we fail to deal with what we need to deal with in our lives.

In addition, life does not have to be boring and monotonous.  We can our day pleasant and enjoyable with simple pleasures like music, books, good health food, walks, friends, family, etc.

When we feel good, we treat people better.  Treating people better, leads to the simple pleasures that come from solidarity, companionship, laughter, and emotional support, i.e. the pluses pf friendship.

Children are a simple pleasure.  Loving and caring fora child yields joy.  Just the mere act of looking unto to your children should give you joy.  You can also pal around with your child go to movies, and sports.  There is joy in seeing a child develop under your instruction.  The pride in your child’s accomplishments gives joy.

A marriage also yields simple pleasures.  You have someone to talk to and laugh with in life. Your spouse can comfort and inspire you. You can enjoy and share friends, family, music, books, recreation, and other entertainment.

See when we get good instruction about life, we become healthy and pursue our personal goals willingly and competently.  Each person’s personal success contributes to societal success by providing for markets and industries that offer jobs, careers, and business opportunities.

Therefore, the beginning is not a government program.  The beginning is a family. Healthy parents can teach their children spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and social skills that will lead to a positive, healthy, and realistic attitude which help the individual in always being prepared to handle the challenges of life.

These kinds of people are honest and have integrity.  They manage their personal and professional lives with integrity.  When in political office they do not pit one group against another and they are good stewards of the people’s money.  They value what they have by being informed and getting involved.

Therefore we are the solution.  We are the solution in our lives.  We are the solution in our society.  We are the solution in our countries.

JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT USE OUR FREEDOM DOES MEAN WE ARE POWERLESS.

Mental Health, 2nd Fort Hood Shooter, and Student who stabbed school mates .

Okay, so I am listening to stupid Dough Stephen show.  Sir Dummy himself is reviewing the incident in the school where a student runs through the school stabbing people.  Mr. Stephen starts to comment on how the actions of the perpetrator look like the scenes of a horror movie where the movie bad guy starts to hack people up.

My initial reaction to such foolish thinking is anger.  I try to believe that I live in an educated and informed society. 

Again, violence in media is not the fuel for violence.  Being educated by a violent society such as a gang, a terrorist group, or culture where violence Is worshiped is the reason for some violence.  Till my last day I will continue to say that behavior is learned through interacting with other people.

In addition, there are people who through no fault of their own are led to violence because of the malfunction in their brain.  These people have brains that produce too much or too little neurotransmitters.

This imbalance leads to running thoughts, angst, anxiety, and/or depression.  The person wants these feelings to stop.  They try to make them stop.  The inability to make them stop leads to frustration and an increase in “running thoughts”, angst, anxiety, and depression, which leads to more pain and suffering.

When these people attack society they are lashing out at the feelings they cannot control out of a sense of trying to gain control.  Unfortunately, the idea that if they attack they will stop feeling the way they do enters in to their minds.

Now, a person who is constantly attacked by members of his society will eventually act violently.  The possibility exist that this person who attacked the people in this school was a victim of peer pressure abuse.  A thorough investigation will have to be conducted to ascertain the facts.

I can tell you that the behavior of the student perpetrator is the behavior of a person who has been struggling with his thoughts and emotions because of an imbalance in his brain chemistry.   I will say the same for the person who entered Fort Hood and attacked the people there, recently. A refusal for leave is not substantial reason for a reasonable, rational, well-adjusted person to take to violence.

It is also possible for stress itself to lead a person to appoint of believing that violence is necessary.  Unfortunately, most of us only know how to interpret failure as a negative.  This negative perception results in pain and some people attack to try to stop the pain.

I know that there will be some PhD who will go on about Schizophrenia.  Paranoid Schizophrenia may be part of the reason people attack other people.  However, Schizophrenia is the general category that the sub category Paranoid Schizophrenia is held under in science.

When a person is victimized by others that person can interpret every look from his or her abusers as indicating negative perceptions. These perceived insults by the abuser lead to pain in the victim.  The pain can grow to an extent that the suffering is too much for the person to handle.  At this point the victim of peer pressure abuse may act out violently.

The violence is a control mechanism employed to stop the pain and suffering.  Many people honestly believe that the people around them can see their rambling thoughts, angst, depression, and anxiety and believe that these people are laughing at them for being inferior.  

The perceived idea of ridicule results in pain.  Again, the pain grows.  Then the person attacks

Violent media is not part of social violence because violent media does not make people have a brain chemistry imbalance, make people feel pain from ridicule, is not responsible for human pain from failure, or responsible for mental health illness that comes from all forms of abuse.

People with mental health challenges and without mental health challenges are substantially exposed to violent media.  However, less than a 1% of 1% attacks members of their society.

Instead of obsessing on foolish ideas that are not validated by science, it would be better to focus on mental health. I know we can create affordable systems that can deal with the outcomes from all forms of abuse.  However, many people prefer to rant about nonsense mental health stereotypes.  This ranting does not help and makes things worse.

My last point is that people with brain chemistry imbalance are having a fierce inner struggle.  No one wants to suffer.  No one wants to feel like they do not have control over their thoughts and emotions.

Being threatened and feeling vulnerable leads people to attack. When we cannot control our thoughts and emotions, feel like we have no control, and/or have great pain and suffering we feel threatened and vulnerable, which means we will lash out to punish others and to defend ourselves.  I would call this paradigm maladaptive behaviors to normal life stressors.
