The Results Are In: America Lost!

And so it came to pass, that the American people believed that the government was better equipped to care for their needs than they could themselves, and so when they were given the opportunity to stand on principles, they instead chose to shirk responsibility and hide behind the illusion of security.

Even after four years of broken promises and shattered dreams, they ignored common sense and logic. The emotional fervor that swept a little known young Senator into the Presidency in 2008 was replaced with an acceptance of fate.

When I first started writing about the elections to come back in 2010, it seemed that the most relevant issue was how the Republican Party was going to respond to the overwhelming support they received from the Tea Party, mostly independent voters who for the most part, were not pleased at all with how the Democratic President and his Congressional majority handled the debt crisis, the health care issue, and the joblessness in America.

A young Congressman, Paul Ryan won his seat on promises of no compromises regarding spending or debt ceiling increases, and yet even after his broken promises to the American taxpayers, he was selected as the running mate for a third-rate GOP nominee.

Even with widespread reports of vote fraud and delegate fraud by the Republican National Committee and many of the state committees, conservative Americans somehow held the belief that they could somehow topple the incumbent President simply by campaigning on negativity.

The American people can be fooled by the people they came to trust. The privately-owned major media was all in President Obama’s corner, never wavering their loyalty to a man who has underhandedly done more to obliterate the Constitution of the United States of America and the rule of law, than any President since Woodrow Wilson. Wilson of course signed the Federal Reserve Act which place the wealth of the American People in the hands of private banks. President Obama has shown himself to be one up on that by selling the wages of children and grandchildren to the banks even before they are born.

I have written many posts in these past two years outlining the danger and I have been ridiculed by some and simply dismissed by others. I have constantly read comments that Romney will beat Obama since he is the lesser of two evils. But when the majority of the People spoke, they were satisfied with the present evil and did not want to change to a man who consistently changed his own platform to suit the current trend.

After the Republican National Convention was over, an early GOP nominee dropout emerged as a third party choice. Gary Johnson became the Libertarian party candidate and began his campaign with Ron Paul’s ideology. His results did not hurt either of the party favorites although there are a few people who think that his support hurt Romney.

The thing that hurt Romney the most is Mitt Romney. He fell further from grace by selecting a running mate who had lied to the American People to get into office and whose budget and spending plans would take 30 years to show any improvement in the government.

Ron Paul supporters were even asked to back Romney after Dr. Paul was shunned by the GOP and pretty much locked out of a speaking role in Tampa. I for one did not feel I could back the man nor the party that exhibited such blatant disregard to ethics and the rule of law.

So now we face another four years of an Administration of secrecy instead of transparency, of legislation from appointed czars and directors instead of Representatives and Senators. It seems evident that America in heading towards its end. Liberty and rights are mocked by this President. He has blatantly shunned the rule of law, placed Americans abroad in grave danger, ruined any chance of an economic recovery in the foreseeable future, has made executive orders his method to take dictatorial control of this nation, while his supporters are praising him.

There are many dictators in history who ruined their countries by taking the same route to destruction as President Obama. And it seems the majority of Americans are either ignorant of history or just choose to ignore it.

Where will we be in four years? Will American be a sovereign nation or part of a global government? 

We will soon know!

The Chance of a Lifetime!

History will remember the 2012 United States Election regardless of the outcome. It will either record the greatest defeat of liberty or it will be the greatest restoration of sovereignty known to modern humanity. As the world waits and watches the results, their fate will also be determined by the choice the American voters make.

Some will see this as a challenge between Barack Hussein Obama and Willard Mittington Romney. Others will cast it as a left versus right challenge between Democrats and Republicans. I see it as freedom versus slavery. And then I also see another choice other than the two favorites of the two corrupted political parties.

Gary Johnson dropped out of the GOP race early and became a Libertarian, embracing the same ideology that has been the hallmark of Ron Paul. Dr. Paul was defeated by that corruption and not be the People's refusal to support him. His views of constitutional government, fiscal responsibility, less spending and less taxing all will be proven to be the way to prosperity. History does prove that.

Gary Johnson chose to run as a third party candidate mainly because the two major corrupted parties have locked out everyone else who dared challenge the status quo. In digging through foreign news sources I came up with circumstantial evidence that showed that Ron Paul was the most feared candidate by the left in my post "Obama Issues Kill Order Regarding Ron Paul..." And how Dr. Paul was cheated by the GOP (See: "Tampering in Tampa") by refusing to sit his delegates in state caucuses and in the national convention. Cheating and lying has become the norm for both major parties.

Obama has not produced proof of his citizenship. He has spend millions to cover up his past. His associates and friends are labeled as socialists and radicals. His own words indicate that he wants to change America into a socialist dictatorship, and his actions to bypass Congress through appointed "czars" is more proof than a jury can deny. And yet the privately-owned major media still covers for him as they pretend to give others equal and fair air time.

This nation was founded on basic principles of liberty. It was never a perfect nation, although when we return to those basic principles and hold our elected representatives accountable, it does prosper and provide for the greatest majority of the populace.

Government created the problems that they always promise to fix. Let's start with the most obvious one. Since the installation of the Federal Reserve System, the nation has suffered through more wars and debt than at any time prior. We were the world's richest nation, the most industrially active, and best educated. And that was before there were federal income taxes or Social Security.

As a senior who is rapidly approaching the age where Social Security will be depended upon, I do not feel confident that it will be capable of taking care of my basic needs, even after having paid into it for over forty four years. I would rather have a President and Congress who respect the law and obeys the Constitution. That will mean that all of America will have greater opportunity to prosper and take care of themselves and their communities. Less government is more freedom, and more freedom is less regulation.

Homelessness in America

About 11 years ago, I became homeless when my wife had medical issues that were not being properly treated by her doctors. Bipolar disorder forced me to seek temporary shelter until such a time as my wife emotional state was stabilized. That took over one year of medications and therapy.

I am now homeless again, due to my inability to perform the work required by the employers I have contacted and interviewed with. I am still seeking work but have not had any success at all. Shall I blame the economy or the government? No, the fault lies with all Americans.

The problems of homelessness are issues that affect many both directly and indirectly. Your tax dollars that are used to house criminals are now being used to release prisoners onto the streets or into homeless shelters. This puts additional strain on  the resources that these shelters provide.

I am awaiting a disability hearing next month, and will gladly find a small place when I start receiving benefits. My physical and mental health have been in decline since I have arrived here. Conditions here will never improve to the point that I will feel comfortable in this environment. Now with the announcement that 35 additional inmates will be released into the general population, beds here at the shelter will become scarce.

Fortunately, I do have a bed on a first floor because my condition and surgeon's orders keep me from climbing stairs. I also take the ramps and elevators in public buildings because of the pain associated with lifting my legs and placing bearing weight on them.

For a man that has been so physically active most of my life, this is really a strong blow to me emotionally.  I fight depression on a daily basis, and force myself to do some exercise of my arms and upper body to compensate somewhat for my lack of leg mobility. I have not taken any pain medications yet, but lately it has occurred to me to do so, because it is becoming stressful and keeping me from getting a good night's rest.

I do notice that there is a difference in being homeless now than there was over a decade ago. Perhaps it is due to the depressed economy, but donations are down and hence less is available to those in need. Of course there is some federal government services available, but they are restricted to women with children and families. Here in Oregon, basic medical services are being rationed by lottery. If you are a single male, getting dental and/or vision care is not likely.

I have not had my vision checked in over 15 years and I am also in need of dental work. Unless I get approved for Social Security Disability, I will be stuck in the same place for quite some time.

But I am not sulking and feeling sorry for myself. While there are a number of men here who are quite content on being homeless, many others like myself are looking to better their positions in life and only need a bit of support to get them n their way.

Since being widowed back in 2010, my physical health has deteriorated along with my emotional well being. That has not stopped me from being positive and looking for a few hours work when it is available.  It is my physical condition that prevents me from doing much of the work that I am most qualified to perform.

With all of the promises made by Congress and the President regarding the Affordable Patient Protection Act, none of those promises have had any positive impact in the health care of anyone that I have met and spoken to. I do encourage others to speak out as I do and not let the majority of the public think that everything is okay. It's not!

Perhaps a change in administration will have a positive affect. But so long as the government keeps spending more and more in being the world's police force and offering aid to nations who don't even like us, we will remain in dire straits.

Blessings and thanks to those who read my blog and have made some small donations to support me in what I am doing. I trust that when I do get my benefits, I will be able to do the same for others. There are always those worse off than I am so I will always be charitable, even while I am in need myself. It just seems like the right thing to do.
