Something To Believe In

One of many things that keep going through my mind these last weeks is that it is getting harder and harder to discern what is real anymore. It seems as though everyone lies. They lie over really important things, and they lie over the stupidest things, and you wonder why. Why is the media even covering this? Why am I letting any of this taking up any space in my mind? Make believe dead girl friends. What was the point of that? Always wanting to give the benefit of the doubt, I first was like 'That poor guy, why would anyone do that to him'. Then after about 30 seconds of processing it, I came to the conclusion. Fake. We are in an age where people can video call, skype, whatever. To think that anyone would actually be in a relationship with someone they have not met in person and had never skyped is absurd. And this whole thing is stupid in that it dominated half the news all week. Makes the conspiracy theorist in me wonder why? What was on the news the other half? Lance Armstrong. Lier and cheater. Strip him of all he 'earned' while cheating. Money, titles, and awards. He is not the best. We don't know who would be the best because apparently most of the top people who placed in the races, also cheated. I think they all should be sued by the other bikers who did not cheat for wasting all there time training for nothing. And honestly, I just don't care except for the fact that I'm sure when it all blows over, then lines of what's right and what's wrong will be blurred even further.

What was the big news yesterday? Beyonce lipped sing the National Anthem? Does that matter? She is a phenomenal singer, we all know that. But I do think it matters. People wanted to see her belt it out. Finding out that it was pre-recorded was a bit disappointing. It was insincere.

It's sickly strange how what we as America knew to be true even 20 years ago has changed. People can lie til they get caught red handed or with a blue dress, and then we will make excuses for their behavior. Or we just change our vocabulary to suit whatever agenda is being pushed. People think that because you identify yourself as a Christian that your suppose to accept everything. Guess what? Jesus was No push over. There was a right and wrong since the beginning of time. And from the beginning, mankind has reaped what it has sowed.

I said that I wonder why these things have dominated the news, but my current 'Theory' is that most of the media is in fact controlled by the Whitehouse. As long as they continue to buzz about trivial or non-real news subjects maybe we will forget about what does matter. Like Benghazi.

Hilary gives testimony, finally yesterday. After skirting questions, she has an outburst and asks what or why does it matter what caused the incident that ended 4 Americans lives? I think it matters because we were lied to over and over again. 'Theory'. Somebody got the Nobel Peace prize a few years ago, and after Seal Six team got Bin Laden, we were to believe that Obama is the president that brought peace. If the incident in Benghazi was a terrorist attack that would definitely muck up his legacy. I still haven't heard why or who ignored the calls for help, and I think I remember hearing it was all being watched in real-time as it unfolded.

So he media plays and replays 'highlights' of the testimony, while the US is sending 16 F-16 fighter jets and 200 Abram tanks to Egypt. Morsi, president of Eygpt, is the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood. Why? Why? I just don't get it. They will be used on our Allies, Isreal. But people continue to believe in this government. I used to believe in our country. Not so much anymore. It's hard to believe anything except the word of God and his truth. Nobody else seems to know how to tell it, or even that it matters.

Things that annoy. Today there is only time for one. It's called the blind trust that we are suppose to have in our elected officials, to do right by us. To me this is a joke. "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Rahm Emanuel. I have heard the first sentence many times in the last couple of months, but think about what the second half says. Think about what has happened in the last few months. Of late, there have been plenty of serious crisis's to exercise this theory.

The "Fiscal Cliff ". Why was this such and emergency? It's not like they didn't know legislation on these taxes, tax cuts, and whatever else caused it was going to happen was going to expire. It's their job to know that. But all over a sudden it was this huge emergency. We are a country that is not only broke, but in debt up to 16 trillion and counting. So when a "Fiscal Cliff" bill gets passed, what do they do? They give a $46 million tax break to Nascar. Hollywood gets to write off $15 million of their production costs, even though movie ticket sales in the US, garnered over $10 billion in 2012. It's not a dying industry. Why is this necessary to prevent us from going 'over the cliff'. I wonder if its a payback time for supporting certain presidential campaigns. Tax credits were given to the American wind-power industry which is equal to $22 for every megawatt-hour of electricity their turbines produce over the nest 10 years. No idea what that will total. Probably doesn't mean 'free' electricity for the taxpayers funding it. We tax payers are also now funding a company that is trying to make fuel from algae. As we plan our travels to conserve gas, and live with our budgets, we become investors in a company that we will never collect profits from. We were told they (the House) got the bill and voted on it 6 minutes later. The Bill was 156 pages. No one that voted yes on this bill read it before voting.

Next, Hurricane Sandy, devastated parts on NY and NJ. Promises were made days before the election that have yet to be kept. "We are not going to tolerate red tape," Obama said. "We are not going to tolerate bureaucracy … We will not quit until this is done." When an emergency spending bill was finally brought forth, (over 60 billion) it contained billions of dollars ear marked for areas that were NOT effected by the storm. And our economy is still broke. There were not enough votes to pass it , so it presumably was trimmed down to just relief money for actual storm victims. Just under 10 billion. If it was suppose to be an emergency, why did they spend the time adding extra unrelated stuff to it in the first place? Because it was an opportunity to spend more money, hoping it would go unnoticed. It was the Obama Administration’s exploiting of the hurricane victims for billions in additional government spending.

Next, speaking of exploiting, The Sandy Hook Massacre. I think they have been waiting for something like this. Within hours of the first reporting of this tragic story, the left started with the gun control debate. We have been talking about it for weeks now. Feinstein dusted off her expired gun control ban, adding provisions such as the Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will: Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any "semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General"

Today, Biden has indicated that Obama more than likely will be using his executive order to ban guns. "He is going to act." Biden said. Hmm, what next? Martial law? Curfews? Electricity rationing? Whats up with those Smart boxes I'm hearing about going on our meters?

Who is this Rahm Emanuel I quoted at the beginning of this blog? He is a close friend and former White House Chief of staff of Obama, and current Mayor of Chicago. Chicago which has one of the strongest gun laws in the country. At least one person dies from a gunshot wound every day in Chicago. That is some Utopia. Just saying
