Not the same America that our fathers knew.

My heart goes out to the Soldiers and families of Fort Hood, for that matter Fort Lewis, Fort Dix or any outpost where the Government tells you you’re supposed to be safe.  I feel the shootings are just an example of what has happened to our morality.  What we now consider entertainment in the movies and the violent video games we allow our children to play.  We actually believed in God back in time and we were taught to respect him and expected to obey his word and his commandments.  We are not the same America of our fathers; we’re not even the same America that I grew up with.  It really gets my goat when I hear liberals talk gun control every time something like this happens.  When I was growing up we played cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians and all with toy guns.  When I was old enough to hold it I was given a gun and taught how to shoot it.  This was the norm back then, in hunting season most of the boys had rifles in their cars and trucks during school so they could head out as soon as the bell rang.  Kids used to bring their guns into the school metal shop to repair them.  Oh did I forget to mention, we didn’t have very many mass shootings back then, in fact I can’t remember even one.  When we got into an argument it was mano on mano with fists even though we probably had a gun in the truck.  The liberals in Hollywood who make their fortune with violence and sex in the movies and who make and design the video games that they market to the kids are the same bunch who want to take away our right to own a gun.  It’s the progressive liberals who are responsible for this generation, I just thank God most Americans have taught their children decency and respect, otherwise we would have complete anarchy and chaos.   

It seems so strange that we have such a rash of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) since Viet Nam.  We had millions men and women under arms in WWII and Korea and most came home and adjusted nicely back to civilian life.  I do honestly not doubt the reality of PTSD in today’s world; I do think however it has something to do with the lifestyle of America today.  Kids are desensitized to blood and death in movies and video games and when they are faced with it in real life and realize they are not invincible, they’re not prepared for the reality of it.  The soldiers of WWII and Korea expected the reality of war; they didn’t go into it feeling invincible.       

We’ll probably never know the real cause of this tragedy at Fort Hood but I feel better psychological training in the beginning of one’s military career might help.  It may seem gory but conditioning soldiers to the reality of war mentally with actual gory combat footage as well as physically training them to withstand the rigors of war might help.  Everyone remembers the first dead body they have seen, usually a distant relative but it doesn’t compare to the sights and sounds of combat and the terror that consumes their soul when they realize someone is trying to kill them.

A no cost jobs Bill sitting in Congress because of politics.

This resolution before Congress has no cost to the Federal Government IE the Taxpayers.  The only thing holding up this bill is politics in Washington.  It’s time to tell our Legislators to do their job.  The jobs that will be created by this legislation are needed badly and needed now. This Bill has been sponsored by both party’s and is a strictly non partisan bill.

At todays Lyon County Board of Commissioners meeting Commissioner Virgil Arellano presented the following resolution which was passed and adopted 4-0. Despite all of our efforts and broad community support ,including that of our Nevada Congressional Delegation ,Congressman Norman "Doc" Hastings of Washington State continues to obstruct the wishes of Nevadans who want to determine and shape their own course in securing our economic future in several communities and counties throughout Nevada. Enough is enough !

How can anyone read this and still say everything is just fine…

 

How can anyone read this and still say everything is just fine…

Recall that Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on his writings, and our President Obama writes about him in his books. 

Saul Alinsky died about 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today....... 

Saul David Alinsky, a writer, was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of the modern community organizing movement.  He is most noted for his book, Rules for Radicals.

 He died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

His education: University of Chicago

Spouse: Irene Alinsky

Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals

This is the current gameplan by our leaders:

All eight rules are currently in play.

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, and income)

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to. Take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the government and the schools.

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more             discontent, and it will be easier to take (to tax) the wealthy, with the support of the poor.

This is just what is happening to us here in the United States.
Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under the Russian rule.  And Stalin described his converts to communism, as "Useful Idiots." Note that the Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.    It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
