I’m exactly what’s wrong with Barack Obama’s America
By Dr. Milton R. Wolf
My father used to tell me that if I worked hard, it would pay off in the long run. How could he have been so blind? Laziness pays off now!
We all know that the power to tax is the power to destroy. So too is the power to regulate. Equally powerful is the reality that rewarded behavior is repeated. After applying these inescapable truths to the analysis of Obamanomics, a collection of policies designed to reward or deter (or even outright banish) certain behaviors – to ordain winners and losers – it’s all clear to me now. The reason Obamanomics has been such a miserable failure is that I failed to follow its cues. I hope America will forgive me.

Laborious Day, 2011
By Ted Nugent
With 1 in 5 men not working and collecting unemployment benefits and who knows how many other Americans working for less pay than before, Labor Day 2011 should be called Unemployment and Underemployment Day.
The real purpose of Labor Day is a day for the Democratic Party to celebrate. Labor unions and their members are solidly in the Democratic camp. At every Democratic campaign rally, Big Labor is there.
The National teachers union (NEA), one of the nation’s largest unions, is a rock-solid supporter of the Democratic Party, as is every other large union. The NEA cares more about maintaining taxpayer-provided benefits for its members than ensuring our kids get a world-class education. On the NEA’s watch, test scores have plummeted and dropout rates have skyrocketed.

Forgotten Heroes Of 9/11
The 9/11 rescue dogs: Portraits of the last surviving animals who scoured Ground Zero one decade on

‘They were there for the first few weeks, they were trained to find people alive, although that is ultimately not what happened,’ said Charlotte, who will hold a fundraiser for the First Responder Alliance at Clic Bookstore in New York on September 29.
As we pause on 9/11 to honor those we lost, and those who worked 24 hours a day, let’s also remember the four legged heroes who also did their best to find people alive in the rubble.
See the other heroes and the story here.
I Am A Barometer
And, unfortunately for me, a darn good one too! Yep, I can now tell you when it’s going to rain. Well, I could before too, but not as accurately. This contraption that got shoved in my leg is quite good at foretelling bad weather. Yesterday morning, I woke up in serious pain. More pain than I’ve had in quite a while. As the day wore on, the pain got worse, kind of like it was 3 weeks out from the surgery. Sure enough….it started to rain….and rain….and rain…. Yep….still raining! Needless to say, I missed church, and then I had one of the worst nights I’ve had in quite a while. I was actually starting to sleep through the night. Last night? Pfft!
I did some snooping on the web during one of the times I wasn’t taking pain meds and passing out, and found this is quite the norm! Oh yippee! I was curious how others had dealt with the recovery process, and learned I’m about normal. Some of the things I read that others had experienced, well, lets just say I’m REAL glad I’m not them! Apparently, my ROM is pretty good in comparison to others at this stage. Of course, there were also some folks who had NO problems, and healed quite fast, like out playing golf in the second month. Glad for them, but it’s kind of annoying when I’m still trying to walk without falling flat on my face. 
Yeah….I have recovery envy. I admit it. 
I have a feeling that when I go to P/T tomorrow, if it’s still raining, I won’t be as ‘flexible’ as I was last week. Did almost 3 miles on that bike that goes nowhere. 
Did the chair push and pull with just the one leg, which believe me, was quite an achievement. And, I’m up to 50 pounds on the leg push thingy. So, I’m doing well in that area.
We surely need the rain, but I could definitely do without the pain. I’ve still got too much laundry to do! UGH!
Unions VS Americans
A Jobless Labor Day
The Foundry
For 14 million unemployed Americans and their families, this Labor Day will not be a happy one. Instead of enjoying a day off of work, they’re suffering a disturbing trend under the Obama economy: Jobs are not being created, the unemployment rate has not improved, and the economy is at a near standstill. Even worse, the labor market’s stall might be turning into a decline.
And today, in Detroit—which in July had the highest unemployment rate of any metropolitan area in the country—President Obama is due to stand with labor presidents including the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, Teamsters’ James P. Hoffa, and the UAW’s Bob King to tout his bailout of the auto industry and his yet-to-be-disclosed plan to turn the economy around.
Isaiah 48:12-18
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Archaeologists Discover 2,000-Year-Old Mayan Palace in Mexico
A team of Mexican specialists discovered remnants of a 2,000-year-old Mayan palace at an archaeological site in the southeastern state of Chiapas.
“The discovery constitutes the first architectural evidence of such an early occupation of the ancient Mayan cities of the Upper Usumacinta basin,” in the Lacandona Jungle, the National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a statement Wednesday.
In a different time, like about 3 or 4 years ago, we’d probably be looking forward to going down and taking a gander at the discovery at some point. Now? Pfft! But it’s still pretty cool.

Zero Brings Zero
President’s net August job growth is nil
President Obama was ripped as “President Zero” after alarming government figures yesterday showed that not a single new job was created last month.
The president, who will unveil his much-anticipated jobs plan next week, found little to be optimistic about in the Labor Department report issued yesterday at the start of Labor Day weekend.
It showed that a nearly year-long growth in employment had abruptly ground to a halt in August.
The addition of 17,000 new jobs in private industry was wiped out by the loss of 17,000 government jobs.
It was the first time since 1945 that a monthly jobs report had a bottom line of zero.
The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting different results. Congratulations President Zero, you’ve proven you are mentally ill once again. We keep questioning his competency. I can only assume that he continues with such failed policies intentionally. Why else would he even consider more of the same? To purposefully destroy the economy of the country where you are suppose to be a leader smacks of treason, IMHO.

Indonesia: More than 18,000 police deployed in capital for Idul Fitri Muslim holiday
Indonesian police in Jakarta have deployed 18,477 officers to secure the capital of the world’s most populous Muslim country the night before and the day of Idul Fitri religious celebrations, which officially falls on Wednesday.
(…)
Eid ul-Fitr, or Idul Fitri as it is known in Indonesia, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting
Ok, I really have to ask….if Islam is such a ‘religion of peace’, why did Jakarta need more than EIGHTEEN THOUSAND cops to secure the city? I mean, if they are so peaceful, cops wouldn’t be necessary, would they? Just askin’.

Teen Football Player Costs Team Game After Penalized for Honoring Dead Friend
The Ohio High School Athletic Association and one of its referees has come under fire for a recent decision to penalize Louisville High School after its football team‘s receiver paid tribute to a deceased friend in last Friday’s season opener. It’s a move, and a penalty, that cost the team the game.
After scoring what would have been the game’s winning touchdown — putting the team up 26-24 – Alex Schooley, along with his teammate Gavin Lovejoy, pointed their fingers toward the sky in a commemorative gesture for their friend, Dom Wilgus, 16, who was killed in a car accident the week earlier. It so happened Schooley had also been pallbearer at Wilgus’ funeral that very morning.
The referee, however, considered the gesture a display of excessive celebration and penalized Louisville, giving the opposing team, Walsh Jesuit, excellent field position. Walsh Jesuit ended up scoring a 29-yard field goal to seal the win.
You’ll have to excuse me, but I’d really like to know just when football turned into a game for wusses? Excessive celebration? I guess kids aren’t suppose to be happy about making a touchdown, right? Pointing to the sky is excessive celebrating? How ridiculous can things get? Gosh, wouldn’t wanna hurt anybodies widdle feewings. Jumpin’ Jehosephat!
