Golf vs. Tricare (Obama Chooses Golf)

It is absolutely criminal that the US government is spending 15 billion more than last year, but because they didn't get 85 billion more dollars in addition to the 15, the Obama administration is trying to punish the American people by cutting into military healthcare and White House tours.

 If the situation were so dire that we needed to cut such necessities as healthcare for the military, I suggest we first cut funding from unnecessary expenditures such as Planned Parenthood, Obama's personal golfing outings and vacations, and the 1.5 million dollar federal study on obese lesbians.

This kind of reckless and disproportionate spending will be the downfall of the United States as we know it.

Who Stood with Rand Paul...and Who Didn't...

Here is the list of Senators who stood with Rand Paul in his stunning filibuster of the Senate last night.

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.)

Here is the list of Senators who would rather have dinner with Obama than #StandWithRand.

Let this be a reminder to voters when election time comes around about which politicians really care about the rights of the citizens...and who doesn't.

Letter to Democrats that are Surprised that Their Taxes Went Up

Dear (insert name that voted for Obama), 

You have no right to complain about how your income is less and your taxes are higher. I (and others) have tried to explain time and time again that a vote for Obama is a vote for higher taxes--the welfare state that you desire cannot sustain itself otherwise! However, you refused to listen and voted for him anyway. Basically, I'm trying to say in the nicest way possible: you made your bed, now sleep in it. 

Respectfully yours, one ticked off Kelly.

My apologies to anyone that was made nervous by this post.

My Laundry List for President Romney

I have a whole laundry list of things I want President Romney (and Congress) to do when he's elected:

1. Get rid of Obamacare (through constitutional means)
2. Allow and promote U.S. drilling for shale oil (this will decrease our dependence on foreign oil, is more environmentally friendly--not that I care--and will lower gas and food prices)
3. Close the borders and revamp the immigration system.
4. Enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (which is currently being unlawfully ignored by this admin)
5. Prosecute to the full extent of the law everyone involved in Operation Fast and Furious
6. Institute a flat tax for everyone (thus promoting a hard work ethic)
7. Abolish Planned Parenthood (and use the money that would have gone to them to pay for the national debt)
8. Root out all influence in U.S. government coming from the Muslim Brotherhood (such influence being allowed is treachery considering they are a terrorist organization working to destroy us)
9. Remove the Department of Energy (since they don't do anything but waste time/money)
10. Remove the Department of Education (since our education system is a failure) and revert all control of education to the states
11. Take all the money removed from the Departments of Education and Energy and use it the pay off the national debt.
12. Enforce the 2nd Amendment and promote gun rights.

Was America Founded a Christian Nation?

There are two ideologies regarding America’s religious heritage: 1. that it was founded on a Christian belief system, or 2. that it was founded on the separation of church and state.  The belief that America was founded as a Christian nation dates back to the Providential Religious philosophy, which states that America’s success was granted by God because it was founded in order to be the proverbial “city on a hill” to be an example of Christianity to the rest of the world.  Evidence used to support this theory is found in the Puritan’s quest from Britain in order to escape persecution from religious tyrants.  The Puritan’s desired the freedom to worship God in the way that they saw fit, and not the way that a king or a totalitarian religious leader told them to (similar to the modern day Catholic controversy).  This thesis does not speak for all people that came to America or the natives of the American continent, and therefore cannot be conclusive evidence that the United States was founded solely as a Christian nation.

The belief that America was founded on the belief in separation of church and state is based in part in the Providential Secular philosophy.  This view states that the Constitution was written in the heart of the Enlightenment period, where religion became less popular and “science” and “logic” replaced it as the socially acceptable school of thought.  The phrase “separation of church and state” is not actually mentioned in the Constitution, but was a phrase that Thomas Jefferson used in a letter to the Danbury Baptists to assure them that the new government would not interfere with their religious practices.  Many who subscribe to the separation of church and state view believe that this works both ways and that the church should not have anything to do with the government either.  History provides evidence to the contrary however, with the examples of churches run on a state level in colonial Massachusetts and Maryland.  These state funded churches were considered acceptable; it was the federal or nationally mandated churches that the American people wanted protection from.

            It is difficult to take the small section of the colonial population (the Puritans) or the colonial equivalent to an email reply from one of the Founding Fathers and base an entire nation’s religious views on just that information.  However, I am more inclined to belief that America was founded as an essentially Christian nation, as the European founders that wrote the Constitution did not base their value system on Islam, Buddhism, Eastern mysticism, or any other religion besides Christianity.  The very words of the 1^st Amendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” indicates that the founders desired to be free to practice religion, not be separated or protected from it.  56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, and 52 of them were indeed active members of their respective churches.  While not all of the colonists, natives, or even the founders themselves were Christians, the United States Constitution was in large part based on Christian principles and values which is why they are such a controversy today.
