Nancy Reagan and Forgiveness

I laughed so hard I hurt. You have to read ALL THE WAY to THE BOTTOM.


Nancy Reagan and Forgiveness

We could all learn so much from this elegant and gracious lady. You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who shot President Reagan in the early 1980's.

Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster, and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the point that to make himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan.

There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been rehabilitated. Consequently, you will appreciate the following letter from Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley:

To: John Hinckley

From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan

My family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery. In our country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know that we bear no grudge against you for shooting President Reagan. We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. We're confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive man.

Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan &Family

P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that.

Back!

After a long period of inactivity I am back with a vengeance! Prepare to be shocked and awed!

5000 Years Ago

Over 5000 years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel 'pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land.' Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, 'Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land'. Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land." God help us!

Youth Activism and You!

“What do I matter? You have to be 18 to vote anyways.” This discouraging cry of futility is too often heard coming from young adults with a passion for politics but no outlet. Even though you can’t vote until 18 you can still affect the political world.

The best way to do this is through activist groups, such as the Houston Tea Party Society. Founder, Felicia Cravens told me her view on youth activists “We believe the only way to maintain our republic is to make sure each generation coming behind is well-grounded in the founding documents, and in the concept of liberty. That means students have to be the ones to take up the cause.”

Though all are important not all activist groups are the same. There are various types, such as the Grassroots movement which is a citizen organized group; there are Community organizational groups which can be backed by larger and national organizations. Personally grassroots tends to be more personal and addresses more local issues but activism in general is great.

Student activism has more benefits than getting your voice heard. Groups such as the NRA offer scholarship essay competitions. And if Ms. Cravens has her way the Houston Tea Party will be starting one soon.

So before you become discouraged and give up let some words from Ronald Reagan inspire you to achieve and have your voice heard; “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

Objectivism And You!

“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
Ayn Rand

I have been reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand created a philosophy called objectivism. Basically it is the acceptance of reality and reason, and that man should be as self reliant as possible and that capitalism is the best form of economy. This places the mind as the most valuable and important asset of any human.

This has changed my outlook on the world, I have realized that need does not outweigh ability. That altruism isn’t the way to prosperity. As humans we must realize that the successful aren’t exploitatious they have just used their ability to further themselves and through their success they brought wealth to able men and women.

This quote and the philosophy it represents also teaches to not exploit and steal, whether legal or not. Do not ask another man to support you, at the same time not letting others live off your ability. Is it not he best help to anyone that you let them fail and learn to be productive?

A great example of Rand’s philosophy in action is an airplane, what is supporting you? Is it the physical labor that made the plane, or is it the idea that came from the mind of man, that molded material into a vision of knowledge of mechanics and physics and chemistry? This doesn’t discredit completely the physical labor but without the vision, without the mental ability that physical labor would do nothing. Another example is chopping down a tree, if it wasn’t for a mind to lead the body to discover that swinging a metal wedge at the tree will cause it to split would anybody ever complete a task considered laborious, and then to think of running a serrated metal blade along the tree, to pulling a cord that sparks a liquid that powers a motor that pulls a chain that does the labor for you, was that just a product of a set of muscles? No, it was the mind that created.

Even with non- industrious jobs, is it not the football player that is able to plan the best play to score that is paid the most? Is it not the artist that is able to pull on their creativity to write the best song, or create the most awe inspiring art the successful artist?

We must celebrate intelligence and not dismiss those who do as greedy and selfish, because in selfishness you can find morality. We must be a society of traders, giving value to value and not a society of producers and consumers. This is all summed up by a single phrase: from all by ability, to all by ability.

Why So Socialist?

Not only is Comrade Obama doing badly in his approval ratings but this poster is being place all over America! The Cult of Personality is cracking under the weight of his failures! And this forms a serious problem for the MSM who has put him as their goldenchild since day one what happens when his public opinion completely falters? I am predicting the death of MSM this (as stated by many other people) is their Waterloo. After this people will go to independent sources to get information this will mean a better aware populace and the death of the Republican and Democratic parties.
