Last week another body of a dead teenager was found. She was an honor student who had been jogging when she disappeared. A few days later, another dead teenager"s body was found. They had both been raped. It is believed that they were raped and murdered by the same man, a convicted sex offender. He was convicted of sexually abusing and beating a thirteen year old girl who survived the attack and escaped. He received a five year sentence only to rape and murder after he was released.

It breaks my heart everytime I hear of another child being abused, raped and murdered. How the loved ones put one foot in front of the other after this happens, I can't even imagine.

Most of the time, these rapists serve very little time in prison and thier violence escalates to murder. The police do an excellent job of finding and arresting them, the prosecuters bring charges and then a Liberal judge lets them off with little time served.

This outrage has to stop. Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, has called these judges out and showed thier picture on The Factor. I have written to some of these judges to ask them why they do not give these creeps more jail time.

I hold them accountable and we as a nation must do more to protest the judges who are not protecting our children. I don't know how they can sleep at night when they have given a rapist a light sentence and when he is released he goes on to rape and often murder, leaving another family devastated.

These judges have blood on their hands.

Do you have a job? So you receive a paycheck? Where it says withholdings, does it say Social Security? That means that everytime you get paid, our government takes money out of your salary to help you when you are a senior.

I have asked several (and I mean a lot) of people if they know where that money goes. They all said they believed there was a vault or holdings where their Social Security earings went. That it would be there for you when you retire.

Most of us didn't know that as soon as our government gets it's hot little fists on that money, they spend it. That's right. They aren't holding it for you at all. They have been spending it all along. So now, There isn't a lot of money in the vault to give to Americans when they retire and they are ready to draw thier Social Security Retirement. How naive we all have been. I don't know if they ever started holding it, and then when they needed money, started dipping into it or if they have been spending it from the start. What I do know is it is YOUR money. You have been paying into it for future use.

It proves once again that our Government knows how to do one thing really well and that is to spend money. Forget that it wasn't thiers to spend. They have done it anyway. IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THAT SOCIAL SECURITY IS GOING BROKE. It is our elected officials fault. They have taken what was rightfully yours and spent it. From where I come from, that is called stealing and I will wager that it is called stealing from wherever you are from also.

Retirement may seem like a long way off for you, but believe me, unless God takes you from this earth before you retire, it will be here before you know it.

We need to get this changed. Call, write, speak to your elected officials. Who knows, maybe some honest politician will listen.

Now wouldn't that be a novel idea? (An honest politician/one who would listen, both)

 

 

 

 

 

Am I the only one who thinks gossip is not a good idea? Erma Bombeck said "Some say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It's gossip!"

The women down the street, when I was a child, was the neighborhood gossip. She use to question all of the children who lived on my street. I never rode my bike faster than when I passed her house. She wanted information about my family and I was not going to give her any. She did not like me for that reason.

The Bible compares the tongue to a small spark that starts a raging fire. "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body." James 2:3.

The rudder on a ship was small but, the pilot could steer the ship where he wanted it to go, despite strong winds. So the tongue, even though it is a small member of the body, can do great harm. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. No man can tame it.

Don't belive in the Bible? How about the dictionary and it's definition of gossip? Rumor or talk of a personal, sensational or intimate nature.

Who gossips to you will gossip about you.

Gossip is fun unless it is about you.

Have I ever gossiped? Yes and I am sorry for it. I have made an earnest decision not to engage in gossip.

I think about the many "entertainment shows", "tabloid news" and "gossip blogs and websites."  What a shameful way to make a living. Why anyone would want to be famous is beyond me. And I don't know how anyone can get a fair trial in America anymore. I truly believe that a person is innocent until PROVEN guilty but a suspect is a target for the meat grinding media and lives have been ruined by false accusations and rumor. 24/7 new media is full of speclation and rumor/gossip. They have to fill the air time with something, anything.

I have had this poem for many years.  It is old and tells the truth about gossip, rumor and spreading evil.

 

The Monk And The Peasant

A peasant once unthinkingly

Spread tales about a friend.

But later found the rumors false

and hoped to make amend.

He sought the counsel of a monk,

A man esteemed and wise.

Who heard the peasant's story through

And felt he must advise.

The kind monk said: "If you would have

a mind again at peace.

I have a plan whereby you may

from trouble find release.

"Go fill a bag with chicken down

and to each dooryard go

and lay one fluffy feather where

The streams of gossip flow."

The peasant did as he was told

and to the monk returned,

elated that his penance was

a thing so quickly earned.

"Not yet," the old monk sternly said,

"Take up your bag once more

and gather up the feathers that

you placed at every door."

The peasant, eager to atone,

went hastening to obey,

no feathers met his sight, the wind

had blown them all away.

Margaret E. Bruner

We can never take back the gossip that we spread or the hurt we have caused.

"With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be."  James 3:9

 

 

Do you think $200,000,000 is a lot of money for America? It might not have been a few years ago but with our economy in the tank, it is a very large sum in 2010. That is how much it will cost our country, every year, to try the terrorists in New York City. The reason for having the trials in civilian court instead of a military court is, according to the Obama Administration, is to show the world how excellant our judicial system is. Doesn't the world already know that out legal system is the best in the world? 

There is absolutely no reason to have these people tried in civilian court at all. Perhaps Obama is trying to break our country financially by every means available to him.

Most Americans do not want the trials of these murderers held in New York City. What a waste of time and dollars and for no good reason.
