Hey People, a new week and always with new HOPE! And "Don't give up, ever".
A headline in my local paper "Millions of jobs that were cut, won't likely return". This column by Chris Rugaber an AP Economics writer.
He points out that there will be fewer construction workers needed. Less interior designers, copywriters, and retailers will get by with leaner staffs.
Then, unlike in past recessions, jobs in the beleaguered manufacturing sector aren't the only ones likely lost forever.
All of this helps to explain why economists think it will take at least 5 years to regain the 8.2 million jobs wiped out in the recession - the longest ever.
If course, all of these figures are not written in stone and things can happen to change them in many ways, always Variables. So, if they can, they will, but how?
This present Administration is determined to transform America as it was, collapse our Economy, redis-tribute the wealth of the country, all in sacrifice to the Global Elite. Socialism or Marxism>
Now, this alone would guarantee that individuals will no longer be free to express their ingenuity, their ambitions, inventive genius, so where do the new businesses come from, where will all the jobs be? Then where will all the taxes come from to support this wild spending spree, now being done with NO Money.
SO, where do you stand in all this? Are you going to defend your Freedoms? Or are you going to just shrug your shoulders and say it couldn't happen here in good ole US of A., stick your head in the sand, and cry when you no longer can be who you want to be, and free to make choices.
WAKE UP, PLEASE. WE CAN'T DENY FUTURE GENERATIONS THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES WE'VE ENJOYED FOR 2 CENTURIES. STAND UP, SPEAK UP, DON'T LET THE ILLEGALS TAKE OVER AMERICA. THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU A RACIST.
See Ya". CJ

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk?? Eastern Wisdom etc.
Eastern Wisdom:
Develop a profound belief in the Universal Law of Cause and Effect - the empowering conviction that we all ultimately direct our own Lives. I say - Or SHOULD!
If your head is in the air and your eyes in the stars, and believe that the government is all caring and going to take care of you Cradle to Grave, then you are going to be in for a rude awakening, because by the time you realize the truth, it will be too late.
Do you realize that America is the last country in the World that has any Freedom at all????? And these freedoms ar slowly being taken away from us, one tick at a time. When we will have lost these freedoms, then you, your children, grand children etc., will never see or experience this as a Free Country again. Then when you come back to lead your other lives, which I believe we all well, who knows what kind of slavery or whatever will exist then, but it won't be this glorious feeling of being FREE.
Right now this present administration is leading the country down the drain, as has been the plan for many, many decades. They want socialism and Global government and many of those on the left and far left are already telling us their plans, but ARE YOU LISTENING?????
Their agenda? Collapse the System, redistribute othe wealth, and control. Hey pal, do you think for one minute they will want to balance the budget, rein in spending, and get back to the country designed by our forefathers??? Ha Ha. Think again.
Lastly, for today anyway, Here is the definition of Socialism - "Spend wildly using other people's money".
Pleasant dreams friends. Or better still, Wake the hell up, their plan is to make all the changes by 2012. Like him or not, listen to Glenn Beck, a real and great American in the role established by Paul Revere. You know about him, don't you, good American??? Cheerio. CJ

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk? The Political Side !
Good morning one and all, and I hope it is in the "all" category, If not yet, it will, keep coming, right?
Hey, if you weren't graduated an Idiot, you have got to be aware that this country as we know and love it, IS UNDER ATTACK. And, are you ready for the CRASH LANDING???????
Our dear President, said before a graduating class, that "Information is a distraction". How's that again??
Who better than Americans love Information, any and all kinds.
This gang wants to even transform Democracy. They want to make the Internet a PUBLIC UTILITY, as well as have Government control over Cable News, and talk radio, and the MEDIA. Freedom???
Better wake up, pal. If you don't WAKE UP and vote these devils out of office before they absolutely ruin this country.
IN the words of the highly respected Margaret Thatcher, "Socialism is using up everybody else's
MONEY". Like YOURS. One Trillion Dollars to countries across the ocean, and good old USA is on the hook for 17% of that? Again, YOUR money.
And one more thing, this President also has in his plans to form a Civil Army, separate from the regular Army, this, to make sure we abide by his rules. You know, if we want our Socialist share of the money we have to behave, Mein Herr.
Hear the siren, friends, and spread the alarm. Cheerio! CJ
And guess who has his dirty, greedy hands in the whole operation in the background. Yep, George Soros.

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk? How's YOUR Faith?
Happy weekend everybody. This gives me a smile since I don't know if anybody has gotten onto my Blog yet, so maybe I should address it to, Anybody, huh?
Easter Wisdom:.... "In all the affairs of life, at every moment, we have a choice".
Being an old hand at life and religion, I have had to ponder the meaning and usage, or misusage, of the word, FAITH, many times.
We are often asked "What is your faith", asking of course, your preference of religious denomination. Then you might be asked "How strong is your faith"? In christianity, it could mean, in your religion or in God? If asked about your faith, you might reply, "I have faith in God". Your religion choice, of course being the vehicle that you use to express your spirituality publicly.
And, that so called, faith, is very comforting day by day, week by week, etc. BUT, how strong is that faith when troubles arise, which they are bound to do, as part of living life? Ah, yes, here is where Prayer comes in, and just not that every day, "Now I lay me down to sleep and so on." you remember that, don't you?
This time it is serious. Great expectations that this God will provide all the answers needed to resolve the problem(s) at hand. Maybe the problem gets resolved OR maybe NOT. What happens to that faith, when it is, maybe not? Do you beg? Do you make promises? Do you start to doubt? Oh no, my faith is strong. Oh really. You've heard about people doubting by wailing " why me?", when their prayers seemed to be unanswered.
I have found in general, so called 'religious people' pray as sort of a habit, maybe daily or maybe only on sunday. But when trouble sticks it's head in the way, the prayers increase substantially depending on the seriousness of the problem. Expectations are strong, probably in most cases, stronger that the faith turns out to be.
Faith to me, is one that is consistantly there, no matter how serious the problem gets, and without a shred of doubt.
When I was a so called Christian, I of course prayed many, many times. Sure I asked this God to lend a hand and see that my problem was resolved. Many times, it wasn't. But, yeah, you got to have faith, it is said. Yeah, but how do you keep doubts out of that picture.??
When I became a Buddhist, I got the answer to this Faith question. Christians look to this God who is in human form to help them by reason of their prayers asking, and beseeching for same. Great when problems are taken care of, but not so great when not.
In Buddism, we pray to a Great Spiritual Power, but that power is within us and in all, and by praying to the power within, which in effect, we ourselves have the power, and it is available only to the extent of our Faith. And only after, the Universal Law of Cause and Effect has had its way.
No depending on this someone who looks like Jesus, a human person, who gives and selects, maybe not to give, depending on His deeming your worthiness. You this way, are a dependent on such whims. Thankfully we, in Buddhism, do not have to deal with that. Oh what HAPPINESS that gives us.
O.K., you can have you say now, so, go ahead and respond. Sure disagree if you want but please give the reasons why. Cheerio. CJ

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk??...CRIME INC.
Howdy friends, here is a bit of what I have learned lately, and I touched on this slightly before. Crime Inc..
Obama asks, when commenting on Capitalism. How much money is enough?
Well, oh great one, why don't you ask your own friends like, Soros, Winfrey, Gore, Clinton, Andy Stern??? All well over one hundred million, and some billions.
As this plan to transform America unfolds, and they pass "Cap and Trade", here is what you have to ask yourself, NOW.
CAN YOU AFFORD THE BRIBES THAT WILL CONTINUE AS A WAY OF DOING BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT THESE DAYS.?
CAN YOU AFFORD $5-$10 A GALLON GAS??? Expensive energy is inevitable!
They passed a Prepare to control future oil spills" bill, back in 1994. What happened to it?????
Oh, and how about the International banking system IMF? The US of A's partion is 17%, at least 3 time as much as any other country. China? 3%.
That's it for today. More good "stuff" coming, keep in touch.
Finally, some good old EASTERN WISDOME:
THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF LAW:
1. SOCIAL & MORAL LAW; CULTURALLY AND ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
2. CIVIL & CRIMINAL LAW, OR LEGALLY ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
3. UNIVERSAL LAW, OR "CAUSE AND EFFECT".
WE MAY AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST TWO, BUT, NEVER THE THIRD.
BYE FOR NOW, HURRY BACK CJ

- I am not VIOLENT!

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk?? How about this, Obama?
Hello, friends, this letter was sent to the New York Times who refused to print it, OF COURSE! If you have any sense of America and where it is headed, then pass it along. Cheers CJ
America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to
be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to
Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and
Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.
AN OPEN LETTER TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike
any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive
Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus
don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to
publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail..
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America '
crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system
with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly
capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose
that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of
living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics
against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from
challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider
opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both
omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything
you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the
Limbaugh's, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,
conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will
probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over
500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed
is that good men do nothing.. It's happening right now.*

RELIGION or POLITICS - Can we talk? Today, more Eastern WISDOM.
Happy weekend to all,
After 12 years of becoming a Nichiren Buddhist, I can only look back on the so many incredible things that have happened both before and after I developed the Faith that one gets when their own particular choice of religion gives proof that leads to this type of unlimited Faith. What a wonder is this type of FAITH.
On top of that I have learned so much of the Eastern Wisdom that is available to those who have open minds on the subject of Religion. For today I enclose in today's blog, an example.
QUOTE: The Universe is LIFE itself. When we die our lives melt back into the greater life of the Universe and are nowhere to be found, much like the interval of sleep when our minds are seemingly nowhere. Just as we resume our mental activities from the previous day upon awakening so too are we born with our karma from previous existances. In this way, just as we sleep and wake, we are born and die, maintaining an eternal cycle of Life.
That has made more sense to me, and one big reason why I am a Nichiren Buddhist.
Hope this weekend will have proved a good one for you, TaTa for now and be back soon. CJ
