Two Versions of Christmas from Two Parties

Profile picture of Pam Toby Silleman.

I just saw this on Facebook from one of my friends, Pam Toby Silleman.  This is a perfect example of the differences between the Democrats-Liberals and the Republican-Conservatives.  I hope you enjoy and get a little laugh out of it this Christmas Season.

To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept, with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

To My Republican Friends: 
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year[!].

I hope that brings a smile to your face as we finish up this Christmas Season and move into the Year 2011!  May it be better than 2009 and 2010!

Prophecy By Nikita Khrushchev Coming True!

A few weeks ago my wife and I were traveling from Utah to Washington State to see my brother come home from an LDS ("Mormon") Mission in Richmond, Virginia. I was listening to Glenn Beck on those travels and he brought back A VOICE FROM THE DUST to speak to us today!

Ezra Taft Benson (13th President of the LDS Church) served as Secretary of Agriculture (21 January 1953 - 20 January 1961) under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America (January 20, 1953 – January 20, 1961).

At the request of President Eisenhower Secretary Benson met with Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev). I could sum up the meeting between Secretary Benson and Secretary Khrushchev, but it is better that you hear it in Secretary Benson's own words. Here are several clips I want you to hear:

Ezra Taft Benson-Warning


SHOCKING 1966 BUY Devotional Warning on Socialism


Stand Up for Freedom- Ezra T. Benson


OVER 40 YEARS AGO A LEADER OF COMMUNIST RUSSIA TOLD A MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES CABINET PROPHESIED THIS DAY, OUR DAY, THAT WE WOULD LIVE UNDER SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST RULE! THIS IS HAPPENING! A FULFILLMENT OF PROPHESY!

CAN WE CONTINUE TO SLEEP?

CAN WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE NOTHING IS WRONG?

CAN WE CONTINUE TO THINK OUR LEADERS HAVE OUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART?

CAN WE ALLOW OUR VOICE TO DIE WHEN WE HAVE BEEN WARNED BY THOSE THAT KNEW COMMUNISM FIRST HAND?

CAN WE ALLOW AMERICA, THE MOTHER OF US ALL, TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF THOSE THAT SEEK TO UNDER MIND FREEDOM AND FORCE FEED US SOCIALISM?

CAN WE ALLOW THE "SLEEPING GIANT" KNOWN AS AMERICA DIE WITHOUT A FIGHT?

SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, A LARGE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: This form of government was not the intent of the Founding Fathers! They wanted liberty and peace, a government that served The People, not the people serving The Government. They wanted the Rule of America in the hands of The People and The States, not the federal government.

If we do not Stop This Hurricane Obama and his followers Communism, OVER ONE MILLION AMERICANS WHO HAVE DIED IN ACTIVE COMBAT FROM THE TIME OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION TO THE WAR ON TERROR (94,000+ IN KOREA AND VIETNAM ALONE FIGHTING COMMUNISM!) WILL HAVE DIED FOR NOTHING BECAUSE WE HAVE FAILED OUR ANCESTORS AND OUR CHILDREN!

The 5th of July

On the 4th of July I sat on the side of the road looking down on Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. Before the fireworks began to commemorate the Independence of the American Colonies I looked around Utah County. I saw fireworks being set off across Utah Lake to the west at Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs, more to the south in American Fork and Provo. I sat thinking of what we were celebrating, a declaration to the most powerful government of the 18th Century that the American Colonies would no longer be ruled by King George III and the British Empire, that the American people would be free. I sat there thinking if the meaning behind this celebration had been lost to the American People in our day.

Was it just another day off work? Was it a day to catch up on house chores? Was it a day to be with friends and family with no thought of the Founding Fathers and that with their signatures on the Declaration of Independence they were branding themselves traitors to the Crown and basically signing their own death warrant?

How was it for the Founding Fathers and the Patriots of the American Colonies the day after they signed their fates, on the 5th of July? Were they scared? Were they having doubts of what they had just done?

How was it for us, the American People, the day after this last 4th of July? Was it now just a normal Sunday, a day to get up, get dressed, and go to church?

I believe the meaning of so many holidays in the United States of America have lost their meaning to the American people, especially Independence Day. Christmas is now so commercial and presents that our children no longer understand it is about the birth of Jesus the Christ, the Savior of the World. Thanksgiving is about turkey and mash potatoes and not about the pilgrims coming to America seeking religious freedom. Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day… how many can really say they understand what those holidays are?

Independence Day – The 4th of July – was one of the single most important moments in the history of the world and we have forgotten it. It is now another day in which we no longer have to work, we can sleep in, and do whatever we wish with no thought to the Patriots of the American Revolution. The 4th of July is the 5th of July, just another day in the heart of the American People…

As I sat looking across Utah County and seeing those fireworks being set off in the night sky I was saddened that the true meaning of Independence Day has been lost. Why do we set off fireworks on the 4th of July? I believe it is this part of the United States National Anthem “The Star Spangled Banner,” written by Francis Scott Keys in 1814, is why:

“And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
“Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

It shows that the United States of America is still here, we are strong, and we are free!

As a nation we are loosing our identity. We are becoming just another nation on the face of the earth. We are no longer America, but america. We must retake Our identity as Americans! We can no longer allow Our most important day in Our Nation’s history to be treated as the 5th of July.

Why I Will No Longer Remain Silent!

Since Tuesday, 20 January 2009 when President Barack Obama took the Oath of Office of the President of the United States the entire country has seen several events happen already in the first five (5) months of his Presidency:

-The Federal Bailouts
-Uncontrolled Federal Spending
-Bankruptcy of Major Auto Companies
-Tea Party Campaigns

That is just some of the things that have been happening. What gets me more then anything is the ratings of the President and the United States Congress.

Here is a picture of the latest Rasmussen.com President Approval Index:

(http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll)

Look how they are coming so close to each other! According to a Gallop.com poll posted 23 June 2009 “Americans' approval of the job Congress is doing has slipped to 33% this month, down from the recent high of 39% in March, but still significantly higher than job approval ratings of Congress over the last several years” (http://www.gallup.com/poll/121208/Congress-Approval-Rating-Drops-33.aspx).

It is shocking me how the country is shaping up right now. What I’m really shocked about is the activity the Citizens of the United States of America are showing! The big one has been the Tea Parties happening across the nation! The People of the United States are finally speaking up! They are fighting for Their rights and putting in check Their representatives in Washington, D.C.

I created a Facebook Group called “Second Amendment Defenders of America” (http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=39739559476) on Saturday, 21 December 2008 because I knew that after the Obama Administration was in place they would be coming after and destroy the Second Amendment – The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms – of the United States Constitution. Though the membership numbers a few join every day. Why? Because average Citizens are tired of the uncontrolled nature in Washington, D.C. and They are finally speaking up! It is at the grassroots, in Our local community, where REAL CHANGE is made!

I have written letters to My representatives in the United States Congress, left messages for the Utah State Governor, and others because I will no longer remain silent! Because the People of the United States are no longer remaining silent!

One of my favorite television shows was the remake of SciFi channels Battlestar Galactica. In the Series Finale “Daybreak, Part II” Lee Adama (played by Jamie Bamber) says, “If you don’t participate in the political conversation then you’re giving up your voice, you’re giving up your right to have a say in the way that our society is run.” I could not agree more! You have to engage in the political conversation! You have to have Your voice heard by those You cast Your vote for!

I will not give up My Voice! My Voice is more powerful then My representatives voice at the local, state, and federal level. If We, the People of the United States, do not speak up then our voice will be lost and only Theirs’, our elected Representatives, will be heard.

This is why I will no longer remain silent! I will not give up My Voice! I will have a say in how My country is run!

Special: Change Equals Same

The campaign slogan for President-elect Barack Obama was "Change for America," "Change the World," "Time for Change," etc., etc., etc. Well, has anyone been looking at his appointees to Cabinet? The Attorney General will be none other then Janet Reno who was also Clinton's Attorney General. His appointment for Chief of Staff is Rahm Emanuel, who was also Clinton's Chief of Staff. President-elect Obama is also looking at other former Clinton cabinet members to fill his cabinet. Now, the question is: does Obama + Change = Clinton.

I would say, "Yes!" Change for President-elect Obama is to bring back the Clinton Administration for a Third Term. I spoke to someone at work the other day who voted for Obama. I asked this person, "Why is he bringing back the Clinton Administration?"

Response: "Probably because they know the job and what they need to do there."

Well, interesting, okay. I just find that this looks like a Third Clinton Administration, more so with bringing in former rival, Senator Hillary R. Clinton (D-NY), to fill the Secretary of State position. This will give a clear Clinton Voice to the Obama Administration. Former President William Jefferson Clinton will be able to push his own agenda through the White House.

Rumors are that they are looking for one Republican to serve on the Cabinet, a palm offering to "heal the wounds between the parties."

The ways things are looking is that the First Obama Administration will really be the Third Clinton Administration finding its way back into the White House.

I Fear For America (Part I)

This past week we saw an historic election where the first African American, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), was elected to the Office of the President of the United States of America. He brings the slogan, "Change for America" and "Change the World" and "Change We Can Believe In." Well, we are going to be getting change, but is it the change we want?

We have elected a man that didn't wear a United States Flag lapel on his suit until after asked about it by a reporter. He stopped wearing the lapel because he protested the Iraqi War. Yeah, that is patriotism and a statement. Doesn't that sound familiar? Yeah, Senator John Kerry (D-MA), did that during the Vietnam War where he threw his medals over the fence at the White House as a protest to the war. They have something in common! Congratulations!!! We got another person that throws patriotism out the window, or over the fence, or however we want to call it. It is also said of Obama that he doesn't want to put his hand on the Bible to be sworn in as President as the rest of the 43 before him have along with not putting his hand over his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance. Yeah, we have a "real, proud" American coming into office, don't we?

We also voted for a man where his wife, Michelle Obama, said she is finally proud of her country and proud to be an American. Yeah, go First Lady Elect!

We have voted for a man that wants to not allow oil and gas drilling here in America, wanting to stop 360,000 acres of land in Utah for those resources. Sounds like we are still going to be dependent of foreign oil. Didn't we want to move away from foreign oil? Wasn't that part of the "change" we were promised? Well, how are we going to stop being dependent on foreign oil if we can't get our own oil and gas going up here in America? Hmmm...

Stay tuned for more... This is just going to keep getting better and better...
