Decked Halls

By Tammy Derouin

The Christmas season, despite all the hustle and bustle, is usually a time of coming together and putting aside our differences.  We have been told however, that we are no longer a Christian nation.  Well, when you take Christ out of Christmas, you remove the reason for the holiday season.  Peace and good fall by the wayside.  Such was the case this year in many parts of our country. 

It’s bad enough our Pres-a-king is dousing fuel on what should have been a containable spark.   The minions of his court, including his wife, elected representation, appointed officials and professional instigators, have caused civil unrest.  Their words and actions have made the situation worse.  Racism and hate has been generously spread by many in the highest offices, using the lowest forms of tactics, to create problems where little to none existed. 

We’ve been told that a crisis provides opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise exist; it will not be wasted.  It will be used to fulfill a political agenda.  If a crisis doesn’t form on its own, a false crisis, in this case racism, is created.   First, they need to manufacture a problem.  Stoke a fire, any fire and see where the embers fall.   If the manufactured story doesn’t yield the desired outcome, simply ignore the facts.  Yell and scream while flinging inaccuracies everywhere.  The false story is pushed and repeated until it becomes the new truth. 

It is very disturbing to see so many people demanding that we relinquish our criminal justice system.  That’s what they are doing by insisting on mob rule.  Our justice system is exceptional.  It recognizes an individual is innocent until proven guilty.  For some reason evidence doesn’t matter anymore.  If the tables were turned and they were the ones being accused of something they didn’t do, would it matter then?  Do we really want to have street justice?  Didn’t America put an end to that?

 

This reminds me of another false narrative which the powers that be pushed to fulfill their agenda.  Remember when a “racist” video was immediately blamed for the attack in Benghazi? In this case, the powers that be didn’t immediately send a team to investigate.  It was as if they wanted the site to be contaminated so as not to ever have a true understanding of what took place.  A lie was manufactured.  Racism was blamed and mob rule took over.  The government didn’t want the truth to surface.

We are a Christian nation, despite the ruler’s desire to be otherwise.  I suppose this is another attempt to change our history and our traditions.  By chipping away at the meaning or the importance of a holiday, the more our foundation begins to crumble.  I’ve seen nothing in the behavior of the Pres-a-king to show that he has anything but hatred for the United States.  On those rare occasions when he has to say something, to at least appear to be concerned or upset, he does it with contempt.   

This past Christmas, the Pres-a-king did his best to create an atmosphere of division among men. No matter where you were located or whether you had a green, white, or sandy brown Christmas, the Pres-a-king took care of the decorating.  He wasted no time and even got an early start.  If you listened real closely and removed the Forward colored glasses, you were treated to the sites and sounds of the transforming season and nation.

They decked the halls with scorn and hatred…Tis the season to be racist…Don, they did, their false narratives…Ignite the waters long behind us…See the blazing world before us…Strike the match and join the riots…Follow endless racist banter…As they make up untrue stories… Fast away our nation crumbles…Hail the new deceitful measures…Sing we woefully altogether…Heedless of the truth and candor…

The office of the president of the United States has been disgraced and dishonored.  The administration, which is more like a king’s court, has lost all credibility.  They have been caught in too many lies and scandals.  The American people have become the target of their own government.  Not only are conservatives in the cross-hairs, but so is every single American.  Americans are being used to transform this country into something it was never intended to be, property of the government. 

The Pres-a-king once spoke about having a civilian army.  Have you wondered why the government felt the need to militarized local police departments?  Could there be an ulterior motive for attacking the police, the very people who keep the peace?  Using people and then discarding them and their cause is nothing new, it’s what dictators do.

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Happy New Year to all…and to all a free life.

“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored.  Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

John Adams

"Many Americans are familiar with the controversy surrounding the Common Core educational standards, which some say are convoluted, political and prevent parents from being involved in their children’s education.

But fewer know that at least one of the three men who wrote the mathematics portion of Common Core, William McCallum, admits there are problems with the standards. Phil Daro and Jason Zimba — McCallum’s co-writers — see ways they could be improved, too."

"The mainstream media used to get to decide what was and was not the truth. But the truth has been set free, and the mainstream media has been revealed as the guardian of the lies that the liberal establishment needs to fool normal Americans just enough to secure their votes. That’s why we should laugh and cheer at the mainstream media’s agonized death throes.

Let’s look at a few of the lies we saw collapse in 2014. Not one would have been revealed if the mainstream media was still in control."

"While those who suggested (i.e., Sarah Palin) that the still highly unpopular Democrat-passed legislation would use healthcare rationing as a strategy, they were laughed at and ridiculed. 

However, a newly discovered research document from Gruber, shows that the plan from the beginning was to ration care, and that Gruber knew the Obamacare scheme would NOT make healthcare more affordable. 

Uncovered by The Daily Caller, the Obamacare architect wrote in the 2009 policy brief, on page 10 under Affordability, “The problem is it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate; you can’t mandate insurance that’s not affordable. This is going to be a major issue.”

"The left loves to talk about “fairness” and “inequality,” but where the inequities really exist is in towns like Scranton. Middle-class private-sector workers pay higher and higher taxes to fund public-sector pensions that, as the Manhattan Institute has shown, are often twice as generous as what most workers will receive themselves. The money for supersized pensions isn’t going to come from millionaires and billionaires like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. It is coming right out of the paychecks of working-class Americans."

When we add in the fact that this administration’s only go-to answer to economic issues is to punish the job creators in a misguided attempt to meld economics with a warped understanding of social justice, it’s easy to see that even if Obama and his minions can tout inflated and manipulated stats, such illusions are not reflective of actual economic reality."

"Unless we forget, Obama stood and engaged in taqiyyah when he told the American people that the Islamic State was neither Islamic nor a state. Other examples of the Obama administration standing with Islamists include his State Department’s recent working alongside a designated terrorist organization in order to whitewash their terrorist connections, and John Kerry’s taqiyyah claim that “The real face of Islam is a peaceful religion based on the dignity of all human beings.”

Barack Obama poked America’s veteran’s in their eyes, while at the same time committing treason by funding, supplying arms and military equipment to America’s enemies, the Muslim Brotherhood. He traded known five known Islamic Taliban terrorist leaders for one American deserter, and one of those leaders has already vowed to fight the US."

They’re not alone. The group coordinating the lawsuit, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, noted in October that while the Obama administration had cited Gruber in every brief during the King v.

"The argument presented by the Huffington Post’s Mehdi Hasan followed a tradition of Palestinian efforts to frame Jesus as a Palestinian Arab, a theme that increases in volume around Christmastime. For example, in his Christmas message last year, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called Jesus a “Palestinian messenger.”

"The picture is grainy and hard to make out, but police say it vindicates their position and shows the reason 18-year-old Antonio Martin was shot Tuesday night: He pointed a gun at a police officer."

Presidential Error

By Tammy Derouin

The holidays can be a difficult time.  There is always so much to do and so many schedules to coordinate.  Despite all the extra stress, it’s important to remember why we celebrate individual holidays. We will always have to deal with a Grinch from time to time.  Unfortunately, in real life, the heart of a Grinch doesn’t always grow by the end of the season.  That however, is their choice, so please pass the Who-pudding.

My oldest daughter recently asked me if I had a favorite holiday.  I paused as I watched the Christmas lights reflect off her eyes.  I don’t know that I have a favorite holiday, as they are each uniquely meaningful and fun in different ways.  Knowing she wanted me to say Christmas, I said without Christmas followed closely by Easter, the others would have little to no meaning, if they existed at all.

The desire to live free runs deep within us all.  It begins at a very early age.  Once we realize those little legs of ours are capable of taking us where we want to go, we don’t accept limitations lightly.  As we grow, we also realize we have free will. We begin to think for ourselves and make our own decisions. 

Our freedoms, our very basic rights, weren’t always understood to be ours and ours alone.  Those who came before us and dared to reject absolute rule, risked their lives and in many cases sacrificed their lives.  Their desire to live free paved the way for several liberty empowering documents.

The Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Emancipation Proclamation are documents of liberty.  Each document is dependent upon the one which came before it.  Each document came with a price paid for by the fallen.  Their sacrifice bestowed freedom on the generations which followed.

In another discussion with the same daughter, she asked a straight to the heart question.  The answer involved personal sacrifice.  I love that she wants to learn about history, but I also tell her, it isn’t pretty.   I listed the order of making such personal sacrifices.  I stated God, country and family.  She was a little puzzled and asked why family was last.  I told her it wasn’t that family was last, as we make many types of sacrifices throughout our lives, but without God, we wouldn’t have our country, without our country we wouldn’t have our family or our life of freedom.   

This caused us to revisit the holiday discussion.  First and foremost, as a Christian, Christmas and Easter are the most important.  As an American, Independence Day quickly comes to mind.  However, without the holiday which gives thanks for survival in a new and unknown land, Independence Day wouldn’t exist.

Every decision, whether it involves our personal life or the life of our country, must be made with great care.  We know when we make bad decisions in our personal life, even when made with good intentions, there are consequences.  We also know that decisions made simply because you want something and you want it now, can have disastrous consequences down the road.  There’s a reason we take time to look at all the facts and weigh all the possible outcomes.  No one wants to create unnecessary problems.

I take it personally when I see my country, my home, being destroyed from within.  We entrust every individual who has been elected to the highest office, by the people, to protect our homeland and uphold the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution.  When that individual fails to do his job properly by not putting the interests of the U.S. citizens and homeland first, we have a presidential error. 

Our Pres-a-king has intentionally weakened our security, making us vulnerable to attacks from our enemies inside and outside of our borders.  He relentlessly attacks our foundation, the very document which states our rights and freedoms; freedoms which come from God, not man. The land of the free is fast becoming the land of the enslaved. 

Christmas is upon us.  It is the first holiday, the most important holiday, and the holiday which no others would exist without His presence.   If we allow one document of liberty to disappear, others will soon follow.  Holidays will have little to no meaning, if they exist at all.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a free life.
