My Political views

Many of you have seen my blogs and remarks in regards to my political views. I have and will challenge the current administration and the Democratic Party even if some believe I am a true Republican because of my opposition. That just simply is not true.

Firstly and most importantly I am an American, born and raised in the 1950's. Raised up to believe in hard work and accomplishment being the 'only' thing that truly mattered to achieve success in America. I see that as an asset that took me so far in my Data processing career as a man. I taught those same values to both of my children and I am very proud of both of them today despite their inability to 'wrap their minds around' their father becoming a woman after all these years. My son is an Army Warrant Officer in command of and intelligence battalion currently stationed in Afghanistan. My daughter is currently studying for her Masters in Sociology at Missouri University. So you can see the values I instilled in them has made them understand that the ONLY path to success is hard work and dedication.

I am opposed to the current Washington Democratic Party because they are guilty of hijacking America and their own constituents through lies and deception, corrupt practices and illegalities Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledged to change. Most everything they have attempted has been rammed down our throats whether we like it or not causing a rising up in America with an outcry for a return to the Constitution and it's core values. These are the same beliefs that I was taught and believe in today.

Social Justice is a myth and many have bought into the lie that Politics and Laws will change this for the good for all those who feel oppressed. Dr. Martin Luther King did not believe this either, he believed in the process of making your voice heard and thereby changing the future for minorities. I could give you countless examples of successful minorities in our Country that simply saw America as a Country of opportunity for those who wanted to work and dedicate their lives to The Dream. And yet in the days I grew up minorities even scoffed and berated these individuals of turning their backs on their minority groups. Those that criticized them, I believe, were just not willing to work as hard as they did.

I believe in The Bill of Rights and it's core of 'Equality for all'. I am not a Republican or Democrat, I am an informed individual who looks at both sides of the issues at hand and derives the truth and I will not bend to either side who does not stand the test of truth.

But I have to tell you this Country is outraged at the 'abuse of power' from Washington Elites on both sides of the Party lines.

We the people demand that our Government give back what they have and are taking from us, our Freedom. I will vote my conscious whether the Candidate be Democrat or Republican I support. As a Transgender, people might say I should vote Democrat and shun the Republican views on gays, lesbians, Transgender or Bi-sexual issues. I would if that were the ONLY thing at stake this November, but it isn't. Our Country and the future of my children and their children is at stake because of 'the Fundamental Change' Obama has decreed since his Campaign began. I opposed him then and I oppose him now. I will not sell out the future because some might feel 'kinder' towards me as a Transgender.

This Country has fallen asleep when it comes to life values, not religion or tradition, but what our Forefathers left for us to protect and defend.

If you don't vote with the truth in your heart and only your selfish needs, I fear you will be disappointed with the results. Educate yourselves about the issues without bias one way or another and vote your heart, that's all we can ask of each other. But please do not just pull the ballot handle down without knowledge as I presume a majority of you will, you might find yourself on the losing end. The demise of the greatest Nation on earth today.

Study the Constitution, Bill of Rights and what our forefathers wrote in the documents leading up to the Declaration of Independence. You might be surprised that we are not headed in the right direction to sustain our Republic.

For those of you who say, my vote is worthless or it won't matter, you have lost already. Others will decide your future for you and you will only be able to exist in your own self pity and anger. To effect change you must ACT!

Thomas Paine - on National Debt

"But to expend millions … is unworthy the charge, and is using [our children] with the utmost cruelty; because it is leaving them the great work to do, and a debt upon their backs from which they derive no advantage. Such a thought is unworthy a man of honor, and is the true characteristic of a narrow heart and a peddling politician." 
Thomas Paine

~Freedom~

Little did we realize we would arrive at a moment in time when our very Freedom would be threatened by those we elected to govern us by our most precious Constitution and Bill of Rights. But we have.

In the past 100 years we have fallen asleep at the helm. Our very foundation of rule was founded on 'We the people, by the people, for the people' and yet we have allowed of governing bodies slowly, but surely, legislate our freedoms away. Most of us have to busy trying to achieve the 'American dream' which for some is just that a dream. We allowed our federal government to become too big and powerful which was not the intent. States rights along with individual freedom and voice have been belittled and even compromised by those we put in power in the highest offices of government.

Where do we go from here? How do we return the Sovereignty to our nation and it's people without a total recall and change in government? But it seems we have a vital need to pull the reigns of power from those who would subvert the very principles our great Nation was founded on by our forefathers.

Without individual freedoms , as guaranteed to us, we become puppets of a cruel and misguided puppet master, the Federal government. This just simply cannot continue or we will be unable to return control to the People where it was intended to stay.

For those who believe they have been unfairly treated in our society, I say take a hard look at your individual responsibility and accountability for your own life. That is where the fault lays, not in any unfair act from anyone or anything else. Millions of people have walked through the gates of America and found opportunity to build great lives through hard work and perseverance. Social Justice is just a term to cover those who have not or will not act on their own behalf.

Today we find our own elected President telling us what to believe and not to believe, in his words it becomes a distraction for us to question the wisdom of his administration and it's policies and ideals. This might seem to please some, but those are not the majority and in this country 'the majority rules' or it was intended to be that way. We have lost sight that this has become the greatest nation on this earth and only 'we the people' can sustain that achievement.

Abandoning the most sacred principles of 'democracy' and 'free enterprise system' will only send us down a fast road to a second or third rate country. Where has pride in our achievements been trumped by a wholesale onslaught to vilify our economic system for a few legislators that believe we are out of control and only legislation to 'hammer' the masses with massive debt to favor those who feel disenfranchised?

Is becoming like other countries in the world by following their failed policies the right thing to do for this America?

If you starve an engine of fuel it will cease to run. Economic policy changes that unduly laden the individual with debt to cover entitlements will achieve that very end, the economy will cease to run. Individuals with dreams of producing new ideas will find no incentive to move forward with those ideas which make our country grow in technology, education and the will to continue.

Why do we listen to such nonsense because a few have not embraced the dream of America? Instead they have embraced this concept that the government is here to care for us, that is just not true and never has been true.

Mr. President, if you wanted to create that kind of society, I for one wish you had chosen another country to experiment with, not my America. You do not seem to possess or understand what our Constitution and Bill of Rights mean. Please stop now and examine your own concepts of Freedom before you subvert this Country any further.

Signed;

A Free American that will never ever bow to these misguided beliefs you have chosen to 'sneak' through and made the Law of the land.

Becoming what we pass on.

~~The 12 Laws of Karma~~

~The Great Law~
As you sow, so shall you reap.
This is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect.
Whatever we put out in our Universe is what comes back to us.
If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Friendship, Love….
Then we should be Happy, Peaceful, Loving and a Friend.

~The Law of Creation~
Life doesn't just Happen, it requires our participation.
We are one with the Universe both inside and out.
Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.
BE and DO yourself….
Do what you want to have in your life.

~The Law of Humanity~
What you refuse to accept, will continue for you.
If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.

~The Law of Growth~
Wherever you go, there you are.
For us to grow in Spirit it is We who must change and not the people, places or things around us.
The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES and that is the only factor we have control over.
When we change who and what we are within our heart our life changes too.

~The Law of Responsibility~
Whenever there is something wrong.
There is something wrong with us.
We mirror what surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors us.
We must take responsibility for what is in our life.

~The Law of Connection~
Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected.
Each step leads to the next step and so forth and so on.
Someone must do the initial work to get job done.
Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance.
They were both needed to accomplish the task.
Past, Present, Future.
They are all connected.

~The Law of Focus~
You can't think of two things at the same time.
When our Focus is on Spiritual Values it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts as greed or anger.

~The Law of Giving and Hospitality~
If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called to demonstrate that truth.
Here is where we put what we SAY that we have Learned into Practice.

~The Law of Here and Now~
Looking back to examine what was, prevents us from totally in the HERE AND NOW.
Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams….
Prevent us from having new ones.

~The Law of Change~
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.

~The Law of Patience and Reward~
All Rewards require initial toil.
Rewards of lasting Value require patient and persistent toil.
True Joy Follows.

~The Law of Significance and Inspiration~
You get back from something whatever you've put into it.
The value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it.

knowing a person is knowing what that person wants you to know.

I have lived many views of life, boy, girl, man, woman and each one of them has given me insight into many experiences. Today I watched 'The Secret' twice and will watch one more time before I go to bed for the night. I highly recommend it to everyone it will change the way you think, it has mine.

"Every thought of yours is a real thing -- A force." ~Prentice Mulford~ (1834 - 1891)

I have talked about this so many times before and I will continue to try to explain and share my thoughts. We all are unique individuals with unique life's experiences, no one person is the same as the next. We were raised in different demographics, value systems, educational institutions and social and economic environments that affected us uniquely as individuals. The one thing we all have in common is thought and we only control our thoughts. During childhood until leaving home we have been influenced by all of those factors in a unique way. Some may not have had a parent or parents, maybe one or both were there but did not, either by omission or commission, give us proper or incomplete guidance. The end result is who we have become today, it was our interpretation of those influences that set our mind to it's current thinking.

The movie 'The Secret' illustrates how all things have an energy that emanates all around us from others and ourselves as we interact. We are bound together in so many ways that it is impossible to act without an equal action occurring whether it result in a positive or negative. Albert Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity' opens up quantum physics to include the very cohesiveness and symbiotic relationship that energy plays in everything. In that same mode we, all of us, exist in the same cohesiveness and symbiotic relationship.

As for reason I chose the title of this blog, as we matured in life we made adjustments in our thinking. Make no mistake, these adjustments are positive or negative depending on how we were affected by our experiences. But these adjustments were our responsibility and we are accountable for what we reaped. Many things became hidden from others in preference to decisions we make to adapt ourselves to our current life. We only allow others to know what we want others to know.

Historically speaking for the most part we are a race of violence and suppressors of the masses and I wonder if we can ever break that most evil of intents, greed.

In my life I have served youth because youth is always our future and what we do now determines what they think and do in the future. That, in the most urgent of ways, puts each of us responsible and accountable for what we leave them. In our head long race to 'get' we leave a void for them to understand and that is that there is a law of thought. That law is called 'attraction'. We attract what we think about most.

~Dr. Joe Vitale~ 'Metaphysician, Marketing specialist, and Author'
"Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal that is drawing the parallel back to you."

~ Charles Hannel~ (1866 - 1949) 'The master key system'
"The predominate thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to it's nature."

~Dr. Joe Vitale~ Metaphysician, Marketing specialist, and Author'
"You are a human transmission tower, and you are more powerful than any television tower created on earth. You are the most powerful transmission tower in the Universe. Your transmission creates your life and it creates the world. The frequency you transmit reaches beyond cities, beyond countries, beyond the world. I reverberates throughout the entire Universe. And you are transmitting that frequency with you thoughts!"

~ Charles Hannel~ (1866 - 1949) 'The master key system'
"The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence."

If we evaluate 'history' it is plain to see if we intend our thoughts to mold and create the future, we have an important need to agree and understand just what that future should be.

~Bob Proctor~ 'Philosopher, Author, and Personal coach'
"The law of attraction is always working, whether you believe it or understand it or not."

~Lisa Nichols~ 'Author and Personal empowerment advocate'
"you are the designer of your destiny. You are the author. You write the story. The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is whatever you choose."

One last thing, opportunity is what you make of it, seize it or pass it by, a personal choice. And finally the words of one of the most successful and important figures in American history.

~Henry Ford~ (1863 - 1947)
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right."

My recent visit to my case manager

have an appointment each week with my mental health case manager on Wednesdays. This is a service that is billed at $100/hr and had been covered by my Medicare and State Medicaid until now. My household "gross" income rose over the acceptable amount, so I'm on my own. First let's talk about 'the ability to pay' part, in a downturn of the economy my town has suffered heavy layoffs and manufacturing and retail closings leaving us with very few jobs available in proportion to the unemployed. As a result for the last year my household has swelled to 13 people which for the most part beyond food stamps left me and my wife paying all expenses. I won't elaborate here except to say we do not have 'the ability to pay' anymore than we are capable. My decision here is one of two things, continue with my case manager mounting debt that I will pay out of pocket or discontinue and save what money I can towards my HRT treatments and savings for SRS.

As far as the new 'Health Care Reform', for me it will not be useful. Not only will it not be available until 2014, in all likely hood it will not cover the only thing that remains important to me as I am in excellent health, my transition to womanhood.

The interesting part of my session began at the very beginning when she was praising the passage of the new bill in Congress. Over the next hour I posed her questions about the bill. Her answers were both amazing and troubling to me. She absolutely new 'nothing' about the bill or it's intents, underlying taxes and negative incentives for individuals and businesses alike. This I don't believe is an isolated event, but if a verbal questioning of the majority who support this change were to occur, the results would be every bit as frightening.

Ignorance of what your Government calls 'good for America' without acquiring knowledge of what it is being offered is like signing a blank check from your personal account. No one would do that, would they?

John Adams, 2nd Prestident of the United States

American History; John Adams,
our 2nd President's Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United
States. 1989., was very concerned about State's power and authority over the Federal Government.

http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres15.html

In his speech he was appealing to honorable men to keep the Federal Government or anything that might amend The Constitution to swing power to Federal Government and Limit State's Authority over the Executive branch.

John Adams gave us warnings and I wonder, in 113 years have we validated or violated what his warnigs were to this Republic.
