Jeff, Thanks for chiming in.  I don't watch those debates, I prefer to watch C-Span so I don't see those trends. And I believe you are most likely right in your prediction. We will need to rely solely on our Lord if that should happen since I doubt we'll survive with the additional costs for doing business it will cause. I guess we're one of those millionaires talked about. But why can we only afford one car... old one at that, no insurance, no big screen TVs, no cell phones... etc... if we are. We don't live with debt... and it's not so easy when you live within your means. Which reminds me of another point... 7. Food and gas prices!

Charlie, You are correct. I feel for others who don't know that. I'm just perplexed by the trend of our country. We are so far removed from our Constitution now that I'm not sure there is a way back to it.

Hey Karl: 1. Things said, if it wasn't a big deal to say what he said, why wouldn't he say it on the record instead of on the sly? 2. Only country leader I know of who has openly endorsed Romney- Netanyahu much to the chagrin of his people. Name another. 3. It's because he believes in the Bible and there aren't many left in the world. Again, if he wasn't being sly... why not say it for all to hear? It's no different than Bush calling a man in the crowd an a**h*** except that man wasn't a world leader. 4. Four more years of this and that ought to do it. The only difference now would be that not nearly as many people have the foundation of God that our country shared back in the depression so it won't be nearly as civil out there as it was then. Make no mistake we are no different than Greece, it's just going to take longer to reach that point since we're talking much bigger numbers. (Aside: It's the same reason socialist ideas of government supplied everything works better in a small country like Denmark but not in America, the numbers are just so much larger and it leads to an exponential amount of waste, fraud and deceit.) 5. Agreed but no longer possible. 6. You mean law suites like Dewey, Cheatem and Howe's penthouse offices? Seriously, Obamacare will save money?? That reminds me of when Bonnie used to go shopping during sales so we could save money! How exactly does spending money save money? I know, I know the talking points. Have you talked to any healthcare professionals lately? All the doctor and admin people I know in the industry are exasperated learning of all this bill entails and they tell me they still don't know the half of it yet. This healthcare bill is the death to healthcare as we know it according to friends I have who know. This isn't my opinion even though it will make me pay for something I don't receive nor want. You know my viewpoint on healthcare and who my provider is.

Lastly, the infamous Obamaphone. We volunteer at our local mission ministering to the homeless and poor. Everybody there has a phone. They have nothing else in the world but they have a cell phone. Very very few actually pay for their phones but there are some who are starting to work and they have their own plan. We know the parameters and requirements of the program and by the way this program serves the most richest man in the world with every phone given so let's not talk about which party serves the rich, they both do. We don't own a cell phone for the simple reason of the radiation dangers (if you know what's good for your prostate, don't keep them in your pockets or on your belt loops), the costs which I can't justify and not wanting one. I don't need one, I've lived without them, then with them and now again without them. I am much happier without one. Regardless of who came up with the program, it's a waste of money and not a necessity. What is accurate is that people in the projects, like this lovely woman, vote for whoever gives them the most stuff. They don't ever realize that they are imprisoned by their own government. And as for the video, I just thought it was funny and maybe she might pop up in the heads of those pulling the lever for Obama when they vote.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Nick: Thanks much. Let's keep getting the word out. DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!! STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID!!

Karl, No of course not, but when they are and it's blatant we need to listen. I didn't call it an Obamaphone, his supporters did.

Now that can of worms you just opened... All things happen in this country based on the laws written by our Congress. They open these doors and you expect people who are in the business of making money grow not to walk through them? How can you be in real estate and not know that allowing people with bad credit to buy homes was not a good idea and then sell these bad mortgages to others who are looking to make big profits themselves. You need to look at roots to problems not those who expose them. I believe that putting people who should be renters in homes was a pet project of Dodds, Frank and their buddies. Actually it was a slow progression of chipping away at the Glass/Steagall Act, most effectively of which was done during Clinton's years. So is it any crazier to keep putting lawyers in office who can't say a 3 word sentence without using 20 unnecessary words when the 3 will do? William Shakespeare was right many moons ago... let's kill all the lawyers... but let's be more hospitable and just retire them to their 100% pensions for life. Our military who put their lives on the line by comparison serve 20 years to receive around 50% pension.

Than, You said it well. It's a first that I can remember.

Satar, Sorry, but you are wrong. He definitely wouldn't have been my pick either but the man knows money and how to manage it. He also understands Godly principles that have never failed in the history of mankind. Every civilization that has adhered to God's principles has prospered and succeeded. Sadly, we have turned from it too. There isn't one problem facing America today that Jesus doesn't have an answer for.

Karl again: They already are.

Mike, I know we can't. There are three groups of people that I can't understand voting for this president a second time... Christians, Jews and Real Estate professionals. His viewpoint of family values (supporting gay marriage) and disdain for laws already on the books (DOMA) alone should prevent any Christian or Jew from pulling that lever.

I want to reiterate one more time that our government is not an answer for any of our problems in America. They are the problem. They will never have a solution that will last. If we're not part of the solution, we're a part of the problem. The One and Only answer to our problem is Jesus. We must return to faith, return to educating our youth of the wonders and love of God, we must return to our Creator. Even Ben Franklin, the least religious of all our founding fathers knew this fact as he pushed for prayer and looking for divine guidance each morning during the days of forming our Constitution. Please prayerfully seek Him and His wishes for America this election.
