It's Over!

We have a new president elect. And I will be honest I'm so glad it's all over with. It's been great watching TV without any nasty commercials on about who will be the better president, senator, congressman, etc. And now if we could just get the politics off the news....haha ya right!

I am disappointed that John McCain didn't win. But I'm not surprised. I am very proud of Tennessee for voting for them though! I'm going to be completely honest on this post! I'm very nervous about Obama. There is so much that is negative about him, so much that is scary and unknown. I've been thinking about it all night and all morning. How are we going to fair over the next four years? What changes are going to happen? I know we will just have to wait and see because all politicians are guilty of saying one thing and then doing another. So we will see.

I truly hope that Obama exceeds my expectations. I hope he makes some positive changes with this country. But I'll tell you what. He better not touch my husbands 401k. He better not "spread the wealth" and he better not tax us anymore. Times are hard right now and Justin and I bust it daily, seriously bust it, so we can have what we have and I'll pitch a fit (yes probably like a 2 year old hehe) if he wants to take things away that we've worked so darn hard for. Last night a poll came out that said 60% of Americans, not 60% of republicans, 60% of AMERICAN's believe that their taxes will be raised under Obama. Sigh.

Don't get me wrong. I think our country is in a huge financial crisis. We depend on credit instead of cash. We make $600 and spend $1000. Instead of saving up and buying a car, we buy a car 10 times what we need and put it all on credit. And our government wants to bail us out, even though we have trillion dollar deficit! That is beyond wrong!

We need to get out of debt as a nation. We don't need to bail out companies that are going bankrupt so that they can merge with other companies. We don't need to bail out banks so that they can pay their CEO's and dividends. We shouldn't help those that got in over their heads. Do you know what happened when Justin and I got in over our heads? We sold stuff, we worked extra, and we got ourselves out of our mess. But we didn't ask for a bail out! And didn't need it! And I'm not in support of paying to help those that won't help themselves. (And yes I know these are Bush mistakes, thus the need for some changes!)

But I'm praying. That is all I know to do! I'm praying that this isn't the work of the devil. That this is God's plan and that we have to trust in his work. I'm praying that he gives us all the peace to get through our day-to-day and the strength to stand up for what we believe in! I pray that Mr. Obama takes this country to a good place, and brings us back to a nation that is respected and a nation that is welcome and comforting and home. That is my prayer!!

And hopefully this will be one of my last political posts. I don't like politics, it stresses me out! But I have to stand up for what I believe in!

God Bless You All!!!

Social Security, WHAT A JOKE!!

If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this, this is the best visual presentation I have ever seen...

just remember who did this when you vote....

Social Security, How It Got Stolen Franklin Delano. Roosevelt 32nd. President, Democrat Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945 GOOD TO HERE ! Our Social Security Franklin Delano. Roosevelt, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary, 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program, 3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year, 4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'Put Away' -- you may be interested in the following: ----------THEN--------------------------------------------------- Dwight David Eisenhower 34th. President, Republican, Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961 If I recall correctly, 1958 was the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend. It was a democratically Controlled Congress. Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for. -------------WORSE STILL------------------------------------------------ Lyndon Baines Johnson 36th. President, Democrat Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969 Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it? Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (and the democratically Controlled House and Senate. Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? Answer: The Democratic Party. William Jefferson Clinton (Bill Clinton) 42nd. President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) 45th. Vice President Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? Answer: The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US ------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK !!---------------------------- James Earl Carter, Jr (Jimmy Carter) 39th. President, Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981 Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants? Answer: That's right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to? Actions speak louder than bumper stickers. AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!! Thomas Jefferson 3rd. President, Democrat Term of Office: 1801 to 1809 “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” Thomas Jefferson

From a Friend of Mine:

I have a question for you:

If you say that Obama is a socialist and the govt will be interferring more in our lives, then what don't you think that the Govt has no right to tell a woman she can have an abortion or a gay couple that they can not have a wedding and marriage?

Also we all preach seperation of church and state, but we bring religion in on abortion "stating its Morally wrong (unchrisitan) or that marriage is between a man and women because the "Bible" says so. that is not a seperation there.

Now I personally would not do either but I can not tell others what to do with thier lives its thier business and they have to answer to the one above later.

What's next telling a women how to have a baby C section vs Natural way (the way they did it in the Bible), or What about Divorce are we going to say that no one can get a divorce because the Bible says its wrong?

Some things in our lives the govt should not be involved in esp if the reasons are because of morals and the Bible

Let me try to answer your question.
1st--The govt has certain responsibiilities, making/enforcing laws, protection, that sort of thing. It is not about taking away womens rights but protecting the rights of the unborn. While I am conservative and don't believe the govt. should interfere in peoples lives, neither should they advocate by complacency the wholesale slaughter of innocent children.

2nd--I don't know who "we all" are, but for the most part it is the liberal movement preaching separation of church and state. Our founding fathers had very little to say on the subject, but set up our country using Christian principles. Separation of church and state is not anywhere in the constitution. While I don't believe in a church run state, neither do I think we should disregard Biblical morality. You see, the "we all" movement wants to rid us of Biblical morality, but when that is gone all that is left is an agnostic lack of conventional morality. Neither one should run the country, but we should also not leave all to only one.

Thanks for your time.

I posted this for one reason. I loved the response to the question. I loved the answers! And I appreciate another Conservative Christian standing up for what they believe in! I mean I can't say anything else to answer the questions any better....honestly, the response sums it up perfectly. So thank-you!!

We are all feeling GREAT! My cold is gone but I'm still working on keeping the nausea down. As long as I keep my stomach full then I am fine! So I'm eating a lot! I'm still waiting on my blood test results back to see if I had 5th disease. It turns out Izzy had it. She has the rash now, and so she isn't contagious and feels great! But that means I have been exposed to the virus. So I need to know if I'm immune or not. If I did catch the virus I'll be high risk until about 24 weeks to make sure the baby doesn't develop extra fluid, heart failure or anemia. I don't exactly know what that means, "high risk", but I know I'll be getting some extra Ultrasounds done. I'm just praying that I'm immune!! So we don't even have to go there!

The girls had an amazing Halloween! My mom took all of the pictures so I'll try to post some soon of my little lady bug and my tinker bell! It was a fun Halloween and the girls slept in until 8:30 this morning, which was great!

My niece, Bailey, had her first Halloween yesterday! She was a Giraffe and looked as cute as a button! And she had her first taste of sucker, yummie! I'm so thankful to have her here! I love how our family has expanded, and keeps expanding!

Can ya'll believe it's November already? Wow, where did this year go? My new niece, Hannah Claire, is due in a little more than a month and a half! I know that time is going to FLY by! I can't wait to meet her!! She is going to be such a beautiful, amazing little girl!!

Well I have a mountain of laundry to tackle today! Got to get started!

~Blessings~
