From a cotton farm, pizza parlor, car salesman...To Congress

We asked for change and we got it!

November hailed a shellacking for the Democrats and a long awaited victory for the Republicans or should I say the Conservatives, thanks to the effect the Tea Party organizations have.   
Of the 107 freshmen elected to the 112th Congress of the United States of America. We acquired 13 NEW Senators and 94 new House of Representative members were sworn in on Wednesday. Of the 13 new Senators only one was a Democrat! The house gained a whopping 85 new Republicans, while the Democrats only gained 9 new Democrats.

These new freshmen are offering us a breath of fresh air and a simplicity our country desperately needs. We want the new Congress to listen to us and understand our plights! We grew tired of all the old Rinos who only wanted for themselves and not our Country, so we ousted them and hired people who respect this country.
Well Patriots, we got it! This New Congress is very diversified, and at least 35 of them have NO EXPERIENCE in politics! Let me introduce you to some of our new Congress members:

These Patriots come from all walks of life: the Republicans gained 5 new Hispanics, 2 Blacks and 8 women!,
We recently elected 6 doctors, 3 car dealers, 2 funeral directors, a former FBI Agent, a pizza restaurant owner... If that's not diversification for us I don't know what is!

Stephen Fincher is a gospel-singing cotton farmer from Frog Jump, Tennessee. He has never been to college or involved in politics. His campaign slogan was "Plow Congress" he flipped a long time Democratic seat to the GOP.

Ex-Philadelphia Eagles lineman Jon Runyan (R-NJ) when questioned about his lack of political experience replied, “Yes, I have no experience raising taxes over and over again. Yes, I have no experience increasing the debt. Do you really think the people who created these problems are going to be able to solve them?”

Newbie Ben Quayle (R-Az) son of Former VP Dan Quayle fought hard for his win through a nine way fight to win his seat. In an ad he called Obama the "worst president ever" then declared “Someone has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place.”

College Rodeo star Rick Crawford (R-Ark) gave up rodeo competition after being seriously injured and accumulating large medical bills. He soon became a well-known rodeo announcer, later using that experience to starting his own farm news broadcasting network. The courageous risk taker was a bomb disposal technician during his stint in the US Army.

Billy Long (R-Mi) owns an auction company and hosts a morning radio talk show. He participated in local political campaigns since the age of nine. Little Bear, his dog, helped his campaign tremendously with this trick: Long would ask, "Little Bear, would you rather be a Democrat or a dead dog?" Naturally the little dog responded by rolling over and sticking his feet up in the air! What a good campaign manager.

Our Country has spoken, we have elected a wide variety of people to represent us. With so many local, state and federal government seats being occupied by individuals with little or no political background our Country is sure to change the direction we are heading. These Patriots ran for office with the belief they could change the direction our country. We chose to elect these people for their belief in the U. S. Constitution. With them they bring a diversity of new ideas and hope for a better government.

I welcome all the freshmen and returning members to the 112th Congress and pray we will see some partisanship in the Greatest Country On Earth.

Out With The Old, In With The New

2010 saw many changes to this wonderful country. We endured a Congress that truly was not for the good of our Country. They seemed to care less about what the majority of the people wanted.
The Socialists were taking over our Country. The people spoke out louder than ever before. Tea Parties and other grass root organizations formed to create a voice that couldn't be overlooked. Some members of Congress heard our cries and changed their ways, others continued with their selfish, Liberal agenda.

November elections came in like a whirlwind. The far left had no clear direction to head in. Patriots popped up all over the Country, overwhelming the Liberals with their words of truth and belief in our Constitution. Many of them taking oaths to uphold our Constitution. These virtually unknowns literally swept the trash out of the House.

Next year promises to be brighter for the future and welfare of our Country. The new electorates promise us hope and change we can believe in. The 112th Congress has truly been elected by and for the people.

The new Congress knows we will be monitoring their every move. We have come a long way to restoring the values of our Constitution in a very short time. We still have much to do in the next few years, our fight is far from over but we do have a chance now.

As Obama says the Dems took a shellacking in the November elections. Our first step has been overcome, now we must show the disbelievers that we mean business and will not stop until We The People have control our our government.

Government is designed to work with and for the people, not as we have seen in years past against and without us. The next two years promise to be very challenging, although we have control of the House and the ability to control the Senate, we still have a very Socialistic president who can and will quickly veto anything the new Congress presents before him.

We need to give the Congress members our support and continue to let them know how we feel and we WILL BE WATCHING. I have great hope for the future of our Country and feel we are headed in the right direction. I am not saying good-bye to the defeated officials but I will say good riddance to them, and welcome the newcomers with open arms.

My New Year Resolution will be to fight harder for the Freedom of our Country 

for now and especially for the generations to come.

Do you have faith that we will overcome the Liberals Big Government monopoly on our Country?

Happy New Year!

Scrooge, Grinch or Santa Claus

With a failing economy, high unemployment and uncertainty in our government many people are struggling to get by this Christmas. People are spending money this year on presents but not like they did in years past. As owner of a small mobile home park, we do our best to help our tenants when they are down. We have a policy of making payment arrangements, giving families with limited funds gifts for their children. We have deferred payments and loaned upstanding tenants money until January when they received their income tax returns. Many of these friends and neighbors are struggling exceptionally hard this year. Churches and organizations that used to help needy families do not have the funds this year. Unfortunately our funds are at a lower level this year and we can not do as much as we have in the past. It breaks my heart to see the anguish on their faces when they are unable to do for their children.

This year our country has more families than ever before needing help to have a good Christmas for their children. A post office in New York who receives Santa letters and does their best to see that the children get their wishes says they have received about 20% more letters this year. Many of the letters from children are not asking for something for themselves or for toys, one child wants a coat for Mama; another wants a job for Daddy; some are asking for warm clothes to wear.

Our small community has a Toys For Tykes program every year at Christmas. It is well organized by the volunteer fire department, I have heard they have more needy children on their list this year than ever before. Every little bit helps, so give what ever you can to programs like this, the Salvation Army, local food banks and don't forget Toys For Tots!

We know what Christmas is about, the sharing and giving to others and the celebration of Jesus' birth is most joyous. Young children know we are celebrating 'Baby Jesus' Birthday" but they do associate the new toys with the reason for the season. They still believe Santa will bring them what they want, they don't understand that Santa is broke this year.

It terribly disgusts me when I see people flaunting the money they have at this time of year especially when so many are doing without. The first lady of this country purchased a vintage dress from a second hand store to wear to a Christmas program, the estimated price tag is $2500. Imagine what kind of wonderful inexpensive toys that could buy for 100s of  1,000s children who are in need this year. What ever happened to her philosophy the the needy in this Country would not do without?

Secret Santas are popping up all over the Country. A Salvation Army Pot at the K-Mart in Fort Oglethorpe, Tennessee brought in $5,500 in one hundred dollar bills. Another Kettle in front of Walgreen's in Joplin, Missouri contained Five $20,000 cashiers checks from Santa Claus. The checks were folded and wrapped with a smaller bill. Another anonymous Santa left $40,000 for the food bank in New Hope Minnesota.

Their generosity is incomparable to the actions of our greedy government. The pork in the bills they are trying to pass has got to stop. Why should we give money to study pig shit, contaminated grapes, the study of prostitutes in China (maybe Japan), stupid mice on an uninhabited island or $6 billion for the creation of ethanol which will increase our food supply cost? If we need to have any pork in our bills, we should use it to educate the uneducated and put them in the work place; create jobs for the unemployed, or just give it to charities who will distribute it in a justified manner. We have many highways and bridges across this Country that are in dire need of repair, we could create many jobs by using some of the unnecessary pork to fund projects like this.

Sadly this year, this Country is now seeing many changes that not for the best interest. Many people are so depressed they can not hold a job, people have given up looking for work creating hardships for the taxpayers, they have no incentive to go out and get a job. Desperate people are turning to stealing to get some of the necessities they need or want. Someone stole hundreds of toys from a drop off center for Toys For Tots. A Salvation Army bell ringer stole his days take from the kettle. Two teenage girls mugged a 74 year old lady in a mall parking lot, they got only $65. Holiday crimes are unfolding across this country. The Grinches are stealing Christmas from the needy in this country in record numbers.

People see the Scrooges of our Country spending more and more taxpayers money foolishly, they are becoming mad and don't know which direction to turn. Seniors on Social Security are not receiving a cost of living raise for the second straight year, yet Congress votes to increase their own salaries. Congress is already overpaid and their self imposed raise could easily be dispersed into the nearly defunct SS account. Congress votes to send relief aide to many Countries around the world who do not appreciate what we do for them. It is time we distribute some of this charity to the citizens of this Country who do appreciate it.

If you can afford it, please give to one of the many organizations that are trying to see that no one does without this year. The change you drop in the Salvation Army Kettle is put to good use. The toys you donate are distributed to children who would not otherwise see a gift this year.

Remember this is the season to give and to share with others. Share your joy and compassion with those less fortunate than you. A couple dozen cookies given to a children's shelter or a nursing home will be rewarded with smiles of gratitude. An inexpensive toy dropped in a donation bin may be the only present a young child receives this year.The man who just shot the gunman at the Florida school board is known as Santa Claus spends his spare time collecting toys and fixing them up to give to the needy children in his community. Any small thing you can do will bring tears of joy to those less fortunate.

 Will you be a Santa, Scrooge or a Grinch this year?

God Bless One And All - Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Just What The Heck Is A Politically Correct Christmas?

Now that our Country seems to be turning politically correct;

We can no longer visit Santa in the mall, to some he is very offensive.

Christmas trees are an insult to non-believers.

Do NOT say Merry Christmas, instead say Merry Holidays or Happy Winter Solstice.

Schools can no longer have a Christmas pageant that contains anything about the reason for the season. 

Nor can they have any decorations that pertain to a traditional Christmas.

Our Freedom of Religion and Speech are being violated! I'm Mad and so should you be!

A typical invitation to what used to be the annual company Christmas Party might read as follows: 

To all employees:

Last years company Christmas Party resulted in so much controversy this year we will be doing something different for the convenience of all of you who do not wish to celebrate Christmas in the traditional way.

You are invited to a December, 21st Party to be held at the Super Buffet from 2 PM until 5PM. The reason for the party will just be a Party.  

• No gifts will be exchanged this year. Last years $10 gift limit was disturbing to some who thought $10 was too much and the CEO's thought it was too small. 
• No longer can you consume eggnog, that's a Christmas tradition. Out of respect for our employees who are members of Alcoholics Anon a special table will now be located at the far end of the room (far away from the open bar) it will have a sign on it that says AA (There goes your anonymity.) 
• Vegetarians and Peta Supporters, please sit far-far away from the main buffet line we don't want you to smell the wonderful odors coming from the baked ham, turkey, and barbeque. We will have a special salad bar for your convenience.
• In respect for the holidays of Chanukah and Kwansaa we will not have a Christmas tree, no Christmas carols will be sung, Santa will NOT make an appearance. There will be NO decorations of any kind. 
• We will only have a record player as entertainment and will sing only children's songs that pertain to nothing religious, political or racist. (Example): A Peanut Sat - 

A peanut sat

On a railway track
His heart was all a flutter
Around the bend came number ten Choo-Choo 

Peanut butter

• For our Muslim employees I realize the chosen date for this gathering is during Ramadan and you are not allowed to eat or drink during daylight hours. Please join us, doggie bags ... oops! I mean people bags ... will be available for your convenience.
• A very special table will be set up for our Illegals, if you wish to come early and not be detected at the border please use the special tunnel that will surface under your table. In case of a raid, it will also give you a fast exit! Beans and tortillas will be on the menu for you.
• A note to members of Over-eaters, we have arranged to have the dessert bar in another room with a very small door, if you are too fat you get no dessert. 
• Oh and for you Gay guys, we will have a special table for you and no Lesbians will be allowed at it. They will have their own table. Also there will be absolutely no cross-dressing at this event. Last year our male CEO got his bottom patted seven times. He was quite a looker though!
• Please do not say a prayer before your meal, this is a public place and we do not want to offend any of our atheist friends. The restaurant has a small closet you can discretely use to say your prayer.

In our desire to make this a memorable event for all, we have taken every step we know so as not to offend anyone. Since so many of you want to see our Christmas Traditions removed from this country, we do not feel it is necessary to give you our customary Christmas Bonus. If you don't want to come to this gathering please do NOT RSVP, just tear up this invitation and get a real life, you have become a real Scrooge!

For those of you who do NOT find any of the above traditions offensive, please come to our Traditional Christmas Party at the convention center of the Hilton. The festivities will begin at 7 PM on Dec. 21st and last into the wee hours of the morning. You will be assured to enjoy Santa, beautifully decorated C-mas trees, sing Christmas Carols, and be allowed to pray. We will serve eggnog, hot buttered rum, and other customary drinks. Music will be furnished by The Santa's Helpers Band. Please bring a White Elephant Gift. For those of you who BELIEVE, you will be receiving the traditional Christmas Bonus! 

Need I say anymore? Let the party begin! 

I don't know about you, but I plan to attend the latter party. 

The non-believers do not have to attend events such as these or go to places that support the Christmas traditions. I am appalled at what has happened to our Country's Christmas Holiday customs. I suggest that people who want to spoil Christmas for the Christians and Believers in this Country (which are the majority), just ignore us or find a Country you can be happy living in. To heck with a so called Politically Correct Christmas, I will continue to celebrate Christmas and All the Traditions the way they were intended! 

Jesus Is The Reason For The Season!

HO - HO- HO!  What kind of Christmas will you have?

Christmas Throughout Time

Christmas in the middle of a recession, high unemployment, our Country on the verge of bankruptcy, a very unstable economy and a corrupt government brings much sadness and grief to the people of America. People are so caught up in what they can not afford to buy for a gift, they have forgotten the values related to this ancient holiday. From early times it has been the tradition to spend the season in a festive manner with family and friends. Most frequently earlier celebrations were centered around a Pagan God. Let's take a little time to reflect on the true values of this glorious holiday.

Long before Jesus was born people, all around the world the world, celebrated the winter solstice rejoicing the end of winter and longer days of daylight.

The Norsemen of Scandinavia celebrated Yule from Dec. 21 through January. The men brought home huge logs which were set on fire, the local people feasted until they burned out sometimes the fires lasted up to 12 days. The sparks from the fire each represented the birth of a pig or calf. Decorated Yule Logs are a Christmas traditional decoration.

Early Europeans slaughter their cattle at the end of December so they wouldn't have to feed them through the winter. They were insured plenty of fresh meat and also their beer and wine thy made was properly fermented at that time, making for a jolly celebration.

During the winter holiday Germans honored the Pagan God Oden. They believed Oden flew through the sky observing his people and determining who would prosper or parish. Many people stayed inside during that period.

Romans celebrated Saturnalia honoring Saturn the God of Agriculture for a full month during the winter solstice. Food and drink were plentiful, slaves became masters and peasants commanded the city.
The also observed Juvenalia, a feast to honor the Roman children. Upper class Romans celebrated the birth of Mithra,the God of the Unconquerable Sun, on December 25. Legend has it that Mithra an infant God was born of a rock, many considered the birth of Mithra as the most sacred day of the year.

Early Christians did not celebrate the birth of Jesus. Their main holiday was Easter. During the fourth century Christians decided to celebrate the birth of Jesus, believed to have occurred in the Spring. Pope Julius I chose Dec. 25th in an effort to coordinate and absorb the ancient holiday traditions of the pagan Saturnalia Festival.
The celebration was first called the Feast of the Nativity. By the year 432 the custom spread to Egypt and arrived in England at the end of the sixth century.

Wisely Church leaders decided to hold Christmas during the winter solstice to increase the chances of popularity. During early celebrations of Christmas, they attended Church and celebrated in a feast of drunken rowdiness similar to Mardi Gras. A student or beggar was crowned the "Lord of Misrule," and celebrants served the part of his subjects. The poor could demand the best food and drink from the homes of the rich. Christmas became the time of year when the upper classes could repay their real or imagined "debt" to society by entertaining less fortunate citizens.
(Gosh were there Democrats back then, take from the rich and give to the poor!)

Oliver Cromwell and Puritans controlled England in 1645. Christmas was canceled in an attempt to Rid England of decadence. Charles II was returned to the thrown and reinstated the Christmas Celebrations. The orthodox Puritans or Pilgrims did not bring the spirit of Christmas with them. 1659-1681 saw Christmas banned in Boston. Meanwhile the Jamestown settlement enjoyed the Christmas holiday.
The American Revolution dispelled all English Customs in America. Christmas was officially declared a federal holiday on June 26,1870.

1828 brought drastic changes to the way Christmas was celebrated in this Country. During the holidays a riot broke out in New York City. Gone were the days of the drunken party like turmoils. The American tradition turned to Christianity and families being together celebrating Christmas with parents presenting gifts to their children without the appearance of spoiling them. Along with this change Americans began their own traditions many of which we still enjoy today, gift giving and sending cards are among them.

"Today, in the Greek and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is celebrated 13 days after the 25th, which is also referred to as the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. This is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in the manger." (According to History.com)

Let's enjoy this Christmas Season no matter if you are poor, rich, unemployed, employed, hurt, missing a loved one, or just a SCROOGE! The traditions of this holiday are and have been based on the value of family, friends and the belief of various Gods. 

Make this holiday special for someone who is in need. A kind smile and words of encouragement are always well received. Instead of buying a gift you can not afford, give a friend or relative a bag of cookies you made. Make a special Christmas Card for someone. Help your children make decorations for the tree. Send a card to a soldier who will not be home for the holidays because he is defending the Freedom of our Country. Above all have faith in God, your family, friends and our Country.

We will be posting YOUR Christmas Stories on http//RednecksForAmericans.com

Be sure to visit our website for details.

We will be updating frequently so don't miss out.

Have a Very Merry Christmas!

The True Meaning Of Thanksgiving

In these days of complete chaos and unrest in our Country and the world, let us give thanks to all of our blessings. Although we may feel our future looks bleak, with unity we will survive as our forefathers did. Remember the Pilgrims who came to America, despite all the hardships they endured were thankful for the small but bountiful blessings God gave them. They worked together in unity with themselves and the Native Americans and survived against the odds. 

In 1621 a tiny group of people fled their homeland for Freedom of Religion, they became known as the Pilgrims. Their journey was indeed a wonderful pilgrimage that set the foundation for the Freedom our Country would come to know. 102 brave souls set sail for the Americas, intending to land in Virginia but after surviving storms and being thrown off course landed in Plymouth Mass. They blessed the land and thanked God for their safe arrival. Only 53 people survived the trip and the harsh New England winter.

As spring came around a Native Indian Tribe befriended them and taught them how to fish, garden, extract maple from the trees and other survival techniques. The Pilgrims were so thankful with their first harvest they invited the Wampanoag Tribe to attend a 3 day feast. The Indians brought venison, there was fish, lobster, seal and swan on the menu. More than likely there was no turkey, but an abundance of goose and duck. The early settlers considered any fowl to be turkey. These Early American settlers are generally given credit for celebrating the First Thanksgiving. History shows us there were many days of Thanksgiving celebrated around the world long before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock.

Coronado and 1,500 of his men celebrated a day of Thanksgiving in Palo Duro Canyon, Texas i n 1541. The local Texas Plains Indians were invited to the celebration, I believe buffalo would have been on their menu.

In 1565 Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilé landed in St. Augustine, Florida. After holding mass to thank God for their safe arrival invited members of the local Timucua tribe to dinner.
On Del. 4, 1619 reached Berkeley Hundred on the James river in Virginia read a proclamation designating the date as "a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God."

In ancient times Egyptians, Greeks and Romans feasted and paid tributes to their gods after the fall harvest.

Ancient Jews held a harvest festival of Sukkot. Historians tell us that Native Americans held celebrations to commemorate the fall harvest long before the early settlers set foot on the shores of the United States of America.

November 26, 1789 was proclaimed by President George Washington as a national day of thanksgiving and should be one of prayer. Having survived the Revolutionary War there was much to be thankful for.

In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln established an annual, official Thanksgiving Holiday on the last Thursday of November.

During the depression era President Franklin Roosevelt moved the holiday back to the next to last Thursday of November, hoping to spur sales for the nation by giving a longer holiday shopping season. This act came about with mixed responses, (the Republicans refused to change it) in 1941 Roosevelt changed the bill back to the last Thursday in November

Thanksgiving is a day set aside for all of us to remember and be thankful for all we have been given. 

Thank God we still live in a Free Country and we have the opportunity to change the direction our government is taking us.

No matter how small we feel our blessings are we have much to be thankful for. 

The citizens of the USA have not had to flee our homeland because of tyranny or oppression. 

We have never been threatened with mass execution. 

We have never had our property taken away from us. 

We do have the right to vote and pray to the God of our choice.

Although we feel many of our God Given Rights are being stolen from us,
now is the time for unity not division.

Thank you Lord for the Freedom of this Country.
Thank you Lord for all you have given me and this wonderful Country.

Government Supports Sharia Law - No Pat Downs

 TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has enacted stiff new laws for airport screening, much to the chagrin of many travelers. As the days go by we are hearing more horror stories about uncalled for invasions to a persons personal body parts. The full body scan is very invasive to many people and they are opting out for various reasons. When they opt out or are in airports without full body scanners, they are given a body pat down. A Homeland Security newly enacted law allows TSA workers to do a complete body pat down. TSA agents are not telling the people what or when different body parts will be invaded by them.

I just read a blog written by a young mother traveling with her infant son who went through all the standard procedures she had endured on previous trips. After the agents went through all her carry-on belongings she was told to stand with her legs apart for a pat down. The agent did NOT inform her of the new law or what she was going to do. I can only imagine the humiliation this young woman went through. She was NOT told she could have the pat down done in a private room.

After the screening and body search was complete and she was told she was free to move on,  "I stood there, an American citizen, a mom traveling with a baby with special needs formula, sexually assaulted by a government official. I began shaking and felt completely violated, abused and assaulted by the TSA agent." The young mother has posted the whole story on her blogsite,
Our Little Chatterboxes  Please read it and let her know you stand behind her. She has Patriotically contacted her attorney. She has a final thought to share with all of us; “It is acceptable and encouraged that a TSA government official can do something to an American citizen that US military personnel cannot do to a member of the Taliban.”

In another TSA related incident a 71 year old man had his pants yanked down to his ankles in front of other travelers! The man had an artificial knee but the uncaring agents eager to exercise their authority without any warning to the man humiliated the man so much he did not make his 50th anniversary trip to Florida with his wife. Watch the video of this man's ordeal.

These are just a few of the atrocities inexperienced TSA agents are putting travelers through.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has informed Muslim travelers to where their hijabs when traveling and to exercise their Sharia Law rights: “It is a violation of clear Islamic teaching that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” the ruling states. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of the faith. The Qu’ran has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.” Women are told only to allow a pat down of their head and neck Supposedly Homeland Security is making exceptions for the Muslims, they will NOT be subject to full body scanners and full or partial body pat downs.

It is deplorable to think that a Catholic Nun must go through the scanners and pat downs but a Muslim will not be subjected to them. I do believe it is against Catholic religion to be sexually assaulted by anyone in any manner. Where are their religious rights?
From a very young age we are taught not to let anyone see or touch our personal parts. Now we are told to let complete strangers do just that! The morals we were taught as young people are being stripped from us by the government and because we apparently do not have any laws forbidding us to expose ourselves to strangers our right to privacy is being ignored. Elderly women are particularly modest about showing their private areas to anyone. This type of screening can leave devastating effects to those who have any sense of modesty.

CAIR is sending a message out to terrorists, be sure to wear your hijabs when traveling, you will not be subjected to a search and you can also insist that you will pat down your head and neck and then let them test your hands for any explosive residue that may be hidden in your scarf. Although it is not common in the Muslim world for women to carry out terrorist acts, what's to say that the men will not dress as women and insist they do their own pat downs.

It is frightening to think innocent Americans who love this country will go through these ordeals 

and the very people we are fighting will not be subject to the searches. 

Is our government more concerned with the wishes of the Muslims and their rights 

or are they afraid to deny the Muslims and Sharia Law?
