This Week’s Tail Feathers

Allen Frederick 2 Comments

  1. Taking on the ‘class warfare’ debate. Demonizing the rich in order to excite the masses for political gain is a tactic as old as time itself. Although the political parties attempt to draw a distinct line between the have’s and the have not’s reality is not quite so neat. This report shows how the takers are spread evenly across all income levels and all social orders. Those who feel obligated to the wealthand property of others is not a rich versus poor argument, it is a symptom of a government set on enriching itself with as much power and influence possible in order to continue to amass power unto itself.The only remedy to this social ill is to return again to the biblical foundation upon an orderly civil society can best operate. The answer is found in the golden rule which is a simplification of the ten commandments. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. One of the ten commandments says; Thou shalt not covet. Thou shalt not desire anything that belongs to thy neighbor. Imagine how many social ills could be eliminated by this one simple rule.

  6. “Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain. Deuteronomy 25:4 (HCSB) Here is a story that argues the moral supremacy of Capitalism. Allowing every individual to pursue their happiness and allow them to keep the results of that pursuit. Our declaration of independence declares that “all men” everyone is entitled to certain rights granted to them by their CREATOR and not allocated by government. Our form of government was established to PROTECT these inalienable rights endowed to us by God. Our Constitution set to limit governments ability to restrict or deny the people these inalienable rights.

    Personal pursuits and the owning of private property is the foundation upon which this country grew from obscurity into the greatest wealth producing nation in all of history. The steady diet of one socialistic government program after another has been weakening our financial health and making slaves of us all.

    Again we find wisdom in the pages of scripture. Preventing the ox from eating while treading out grain only weakens the ox and before long the ox will die and no work will go forth. Government feels that by squeezing the golden goose somehow the goose will produce more golden eggs. History has proven the Marxist approach does not work anywhere it has been tried.

  9. And last but not least here is this week’s DoDo bird award winner presented to Time Magazine for their 2011 Person of the year award nominee. And some still regard this publication as a worthy news source. Like the DoDo bird Time magazine is headed for extinction.

Words of Wisdom From Our Founders

Thomas Jefferson

“Taxes should be continued by annual or biennial reeactments, because a constant hold, by the nation, of the strings of the public purse is a salutary restraint from which an honest government ought not wish, nor a corrupt one to be permitted, to be free.” –Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Wayles Eppes, 1813

They Say: He Said

Allen Frederick 4 Comments

Those of “Occupy Wall Street” have differing demands but all seem discontent in one way or another. Take a look at some of these who are occupying Wall street and read what some of them have to say:

THEY SAY:



BUT GOD SAID:

The protestors on wall street certainly do not show much MEEKNESS if you ask me. Perhaps if they displayed a bit more meekness they may gain greater access? Could it be that God actually meant what He said? I think He did.

Obama Vows to Take Jobs Bill into Own Hands if Congress Defaults in Passage

Allen Frederick Leave a comment

President Obama continued the drumbeat for his jobs plan on Tuesday, even as White House officials acknowledged that the bill’s prospects in the Senate were tenuous and Mr. Obama himself vowed not to wait for Congress to advance ideas to get American back to work.

In what sounded almost like an outright acknowledgement that Congress would reject his jobs proposal, Mr. Obama said he was making plans for what to do afterward. “If they don’t pass the whole package, we’re going to break it up into different parts,” he said, echoing White House officials who have said that they would seek to push individual components of the bill that had the best chance for passage.

Meeting with his Council for Jobs and Competitiveness for the unveiling of yet another set of ideas to increase economic growth, Mr. Obama also said that he had instructed White House officials to “scour” a jobs council report in order to identify executive actions that the administration could take.

That is what Mr Obama had to say about the legislation process. Basically he said that he wants things done HIS WAY regardless of the political process or what the Constitution states. Let us hear from another President shall we concerning Presidential powers.

“In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” –Thomas Jefferson, fair copy of the drafts of the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798

Is it any wonder why the progressives hate the Constitution? It is SO RESTRICTIVE of their desire for unlimited power.
