Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas)--How pathetic

When I wrote my post of yesterday I had yet to read this little tidbit of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), but I'm not real surprised.  The only religion that can't possibly be injurious to the good ol' United States of America is the Muslim religion, obviously.

In this article, Ms Jackson-Lee, wants to investigate how Militant Christians might bring down the country.  What unmitigated garbage!  This country was founded by "Militant Christians", is supported by the same, and will continue to be supported by us.  How pathetic that these congressional nazies are worried that we are interested in returning to the values instituted by Almighty God. 

Every nation that has maintained a close relationship with our Christian religion, called upon our Heavenly Father for assistance, and then honored His prophets has flourished.  Every nation that has persecuted the prophets, rejected Heavenly Father and His Son, and taken upon itself idols, has fallen. 

The South American country that I visited years ago has a little one-word exclaimation that is appropriate:

OHO!  meaning Watch out!

We lose more freedoms

I learned, a few days ago, that the FBI has taken upon itself more invasive powers.  Now they claim the right to invade a private residence EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO REASON TO SUSPECT a law has been broken.  We are becoming more and more of a gestapo state.  I wonder if the Ayatollah Barry Obama thinks that he is now the re-invention of Adolf Hitler.  The same tactics are being used today that were used in the late 1930's when Hitler took the leadership of Germany.  I fear for our nation, our people, our families, and our religion.  I wonder when he'll set the "brown shirts" on Christians because we are subversive.  I wonder when our Government will deem, by executive order, that it is illegal to practice our religion because it is offensive.

We need to get on our knees as a nation and pray to Almighty God.  And then we need to raise the Title of Liberty high above our homes, automobiles, and places of employment.  Then we must gather our forces to combat this evil.  For those of you who don't know what the Title of Liberty is, it is this:

IN MEMORY OF OUR GOD, OUR RELIGION AND FREEDOM, AND OUR PEACE, OUR WIVES AND OUR CHILDREN.

In my not so humble opinion it is the only way we can return to the values that formed this nation.  We have sunk into apostasy and we must repent and plead with our Heavenly Father to help us return to be the land, most favored of all nations.

We must cease to be aggressors in the world, but be defenders of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  We must vigorously defend the Constitution of the United States instead of trying to figure out how to circumvent that inspired document.

We must close down those government departments that are not specifically mentioned in the constitution.  We must get government out of the private lives of individuals and families.  We must get the government out of the business of  "controlling the public".  We must find a president who will covenant to do just that.

I don't see anyone running that fits the bill as of yet.  Each of them has good points, but their history is not compatible with the vision that we need in the White House.  I will vigorously campaign for the candidate that will make the covenant to enforce the constitution and the Title of Liberty.

Enough for the moment

It was only a matter of time..

It was only a matter of time until we figure out that Gadianton Robbers have invaded every facet of  our lives.  They are in Congress, the White House, courts, local and state legislatures, business and even in some churches.  We knew it would happen, but hoped it would take a little longer to become so pervasive.

Gadianton Robbers are especially subversive because their methods are very subtle.  They invade carefully, like wolves wearing sheep's clothing. We elect, hire, appoint them because what they SAY is appealing.  However, what they DO is particularly revolting.  They are immoral, leading our people into error and sin.  They are evil, in that they make particularly repugnant issues seem appealing.  They are vicious, in that they are violently enforcing their will, plans and goals.

Who are these people?  I won't name them, but I will describe them.  They:

1.  Sext, and say, "it's ok because I'm a congressman/judge/advisor to the president."

2.  They force their will on the public, i.e. ObamaCare, immoral searches at airports, etc.

3.  They cause confusion and intimidation at the polling places.

4.  They blackmail the public by threatening investigations.

5.  They cause loss of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness when they shut down a business because of inconsequential, oblique, little known or enforced laws in order to protect their "buddies".

6.  They cause loss of life and liberty by starting illegal, immoral, unrighteous wars in which we have no business becoming involved.

7.  They work to destroy the institution of family with one father and one mother.

8.   They are sexual predators, preying on the weak and helpless, and then discarding them like used kleenex.

9.  They work to prevent our God given individual choice.

10. They destroy our homes in the name of "homeland security".

If we want peace in our time, we need to root these individuals, groups and ideas out and isolate them.

enough said.

Is it time to go?

I have been a transportation manager for 31 of the 37 years I have been in the transportation business. Over the years, I have enjoyed much of the time I've spent working in both the railroad and trucking industries.  I have put much of my personal energies into my work.  I live and breath transportation.  In the few years of my professional life that I spent outside of transportation, I have yearned to return, and I have.  However, now I wonder if my energies are appreciated or even wanted.  

When I began my love of transportation, all one had to do to be noticed and therefore improve one's position was work hard, learn everything possible about one's current position and then learn the next position even before being offered a promotion.  Hard work payed off.  I progressed from lowly switchman to a prestigious line management position.  In that environment I learned that the best way to lead a force was to pull my team along, coaching when necessary, teaching when needed and encouraging at every step of the way.  As a result of those efforts, work place injuries were reduced, productivity was increased, revenues improved, and morale was high.  

Along came the time, however, when those efforts were not appreciated.  The corporate moguls turned a corner and wanted those of us in the field to work hard to "lie in wait" for employees to err and then hold hearings to determine that these employees should be sacked.  When management style went from coaching,teaching, and leading to pushing, testing and immoral "gotcha" moments, I elected to terminate my relationship with the railroad I loved.  I cannot justify, in my own mind, that kind of behavior.  I still have to live with myself.  I have to look at myself in the mirror each day.  I tendered my resignation and left my position.

I began my love of trucking in much the same mind as I began my railroad career.  I again wanted to begin my trucking career at the bottom.  I went back to school and learned how to be a truck driver.  I found a fledgling company, and I drove truck for a couple of years.  Then I was asked to come into the office and take over a portion of the company that needed strengthening.  It was another challenge that I enjoyed.  I learned much and I hope that I have contributed much.  I left the trucking industry for a few years to chase a dream.  I learned, though, that I am a better truck driver than Insurance Salesman and I returned to the trucking company I loved.  

I still work for that same trucking company.  I love the owners, I love my co-workers, I enjoy doing what I do.  I ride for the brand, as I always have done.  I am fierce in my defense of my work, my subordinates, my peers, and my company.  So much so, in fact, that I was told yesterday that I have a "bad attitude".   We have changed management and management styles over the past year or so.  Again we are going  back to the style of leadership that causes me concern.  And so I am at a crossroads.  

I am of a mind to return to driving.  I love driving, but current regulations are such that it is difficult to want to do so.   Government seems anxious to drive transportation companies out of business. 

Some of my peers and family think I should not return to driving, but should hang in there and do whatever I need to do in the office, even if it violates the values I hold so dear.  

What should I do?  I invite your comments.
