Personal Responsibility

Whose Fault is it really?

When did it become acceptable or fashionable to try and blame the things going on in your life on someone or something else? Who started it? How does it keep going? When is it going to stop?

When you were going up as a small child and you did something wrong and you were being questioned by your mother and father as to the facts of the situation, you did your very best to convince them that you had nothing to do with what ever happened. They didn’t let you get away with “passing the buck” even if you were in the right doing it in the first place. They wanted you to learn Personal Responsibility.

Today in the same situation some mothers and fathers would quite probably agree with you (as the child) that it wasn’t your fault but the actions of others that caused the situation in the first place, causing you to make a choice that you should have been force to make. And that you were not only, not responsible but the victim of the situation. And it could very well escalate to a legal situation and the other person either not being able to defend themselves or not wanting to escalate the matter further  will accept responsibility just to put it behind them and get on with their lives. The Lesson? “It wasn’t your fault it was them not you”.

Even in Sports or Athletics parents no longer teach that hard work, determination and practice are the keys to success an every own and then the other team does win. Now some little leagues don’t even keep score and everyone gets a trophy.  Then as an adult you are told by some of those in elected office “It takes a Village” or to relinquish your rights and responsibility and let the school teach the morality and life lessons. So the national organizations like the NEA and the Dept. of Education will gladly take over and “teach” your children. And your children under penalty of failing grades and/or expulsion will have to endure the doctrine of what those people think your children should know. And If you object “why there is something wrong with you” and you “must be punished and forced into compliance”.

So again “when is it going to stop”? You personally, and as a parent must realize that each on of your actions has consequences and the only person responsible is “you”. You and you alone have the God given right and ability of “free will” that enable to you make choices, “Your Own Choices” and sometimes they may not be the choices that you will like but they will be “your” choices and no one can make them for you. Once you make your choice you alone are responsible.

You have to be responsible for your own choices.

The Immigration Trap

Democrats have laid the trap and Republicans are taking the bait.

            Democrats want to offer a bribe of amnesty to all undocumented workers who are able to make their way into this country. They also want, and expect, Republicans to fall for the trap, start debating, and start playing the “what if” game. This will allow Democrats, along with their accomplices in the Main Stream Media, to paint Republicans as racist, unfeeling, soulless people who don’t care about anyone. Unfortunately, some Republicans are doing everything they can to disprove those statements, and are playing right into the Democrat’s hands. Whether they call themselves the “Gang of Eight” or the “Three Amigos”, it’s all a trap to enable Democrats to gain favor with the illegal, undocumented people flooding our boarders.

            What, in my opinion should every true conservative Republican do? Every time they are asked about their thoughts on immigration, they should simply say, “Secure the boarders”, that’s all. They should not debate, discuss, or vote on anything but securing the boarders first.  Anything else, other than securing the boarders, will allow Democrats to draw them back into the discussion of the “what if” game.  Once the boarders are secure, then the debate about what to do with the people in the country illegally can begin. Democrats will not want to do this at all, which is the first signal that it is the right thing to do.

            Not securing the boarders first, and allowing as many people as possible to further disregard this countries laws and sovereignty, only makes the already dangerous situation worse. It continues to restrain our public safety officers and agents, those same people who bravely put their lives on the line defending the people of the United States of America.

How did we get Here

     There are many people wondering how did we get here? How did we "Americans" go from one of the most powerful self reliant conservative cultures on the face of the planet to a country that is disrespected and sniped at by countries the world over and in her very own country by her very own citizens.
     In my opinion, the changes were made either deliberately with the skill of a Grand Master chess champion or by pure blind dumb luck.  Regardless of intent, it happened over several decades. It starts with groups or movements like "Flower Power", "Free Love", "Make Love not War". Not that I'm opposed to making love by any means. But as with any of these slogans or calls to action; they should be more apporiately called calls to "inaction", they all call for or promote "lack of responsiblity". They all wanted to feel that they could do what ever they wanted with out responsibility or care or concern and most importantly without judgement or being spurned by Main Stream Society.
     So little by little they take small little acts or sterotypes and set forth to make them seem less out of the norm and more acceptable. That way more people see it as "well that's not that bad" and then they become accustom to it and now its accepted then they move on to the next item on there list to mainstream.
     I refer to them as the Jerry Springer crowd, now we all know that there were others before him but in my opinion Jerry Springer made mainstreaming into almost and art. Even if the people on stage were actors, i.e. all wrestling is on T.V. is "real", it still portrays a base lack of self respect and devasion from widely acepted norms. And after repeated exposure and more and more outlandish claims then the unsuspecting, off guard, low self esteem person thinks, "There look at that, my life is not that bad, I can continue to reach for the basement of life because I will never be that bad". Here's the thing that most people are afraid of, tell someone "Yes your life left unchecked and unchanged is going to be a Jerry Springer episode and in some extreme cases it will be a full length Jerry Springer motion picture production". We the over opinionated would be publicly berated and made to look unkind, uncaring, and out of touch by the very people looking to further thin down and opress the very attitude and spirt that made this Great Country the Magestic Tower of Strength and Leadership that has seen us through to the Greatest Nation on the Planet.

The Ultimate Showdown

     Is this the beginning of the the Ultimate Showdown? The President of the United States vs. Everyone Else, The President is Lobbing veiled threats at the US Supreme Court over Obamacare and Federal Judges are Holding the DOJ and the AG account for his statements and actions. A Sheriff in AZ is conducting investigations in to allegations about the Presidents U.S. Citizenship. People/Organizations in States suing to keep the President Name of the Democratic Ballot for the Election of the President.

     When you are an Individual even the President of The United States and you find yourself increasingly having to defend yourself, your words and your actions your options start shrinking exponentially. You can either hunker down and ride it out or your can start to ATTACK!!!!! While we have seen the President of the United States bow down, we have never seen him "hunker" down. So that leaves ATTACK, the real question is exactly when did he start attacking and who is the target????????? 

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

One of mans rights bestowed to American Citizens by the US Constitution is the right to keep and bare arms. I think that people of this country should exercise that right and purchase a firearm of some kind, and they should know how to use them safely and effectively.  Not only is it our heritage, but it is our duty to protect ourselves and our family, up to and including our country as well. I encourage all law biding American citizens to got out and purchase a firearm and learn how to used it safely.
