When your heart and head are in conflict, its hard to know what to do. Your head tells your heart to mend and be rational. Your heart tells your head to have hope and believe in love. The poets have loved deeply and lost even more. They have let us know that love and loss go together. Only sometimes the loss comes sooner than we expect. The torment. The horror. To see a loved one keep hanging on, while never letting bitterness and hatred cloud the love in your heart. Sadness may subside, but the hurt and scars in one’s heart will always persist.
Life
My life has been turned upside down in the past few months. I am sorry to everyone who has looked at the site and is looking for more. More is on the way. As soon as I make it through this part of my life. I have written a few things. One is below. Its not political, but it has conservative ideals that I think everyone should share and think about. Happy reading. More to come…..
Stories of love and loss have been told throughout the ages. Wars have been fought because someone loved another and then lost them. The Trojan War was started because Helen was stolen from her husband, Menelaus of Sparta, by Paris of Troy. Troy was destroyed. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. We all know how that ended. The best songs are about guys trying to get the attention of a woman. Men throughout the ages have done almost anything to win the affections of a woman.
In modern days we have love and loss. Unfortunately we have made an art out of loss. It seems to be a game that is played with children, lawyers, and sometimes the public and it all plays out on television. Unfortunately, a lot of people think television is reality. They have forgotten that people are being hurt and others are making money off the misery. The television show condenses everything into a neat package. Only the interesting things get into this package. Like the stories of the past these television programs are popular because a lot of people like to see people’s misery and “dirty laundry”. What is not understood is that people are being scarred for life, especially children.
In marriage children are the sign of your love for one another and God’s love. In these modern times we have forgotten that. Children nowadays seem to be a social badge for certain circles. If you have children you are either heralded or despised. To have children, people forget that your life is not yours anymore it is the children’s. You are to show your children how to live and be good citizens. Children learn most things from their parents. You cannot be selfish.
Selfishness is a human trait. All children are born with this. As parents we have to show that we have learned to become selfless. Being selfless is an on going and difficult battle that we as human beings struggle with our whole lives. To be selfless for our children is the ultimate sign of love and respect to our children, spouses, and God.
When a spouse decides that the love you have is no longer there, it is a blow to your piece of mind and heart. That is if you didn’t know it was coming. Your feelings will be hurt and confusion will set in. Do what you can to try and work things out. Seek counseling together, through your church or private counselors. When you get things out in the open that is when understanding and possible healing can begin. A lot of times people feel like they are not loved. Sometimes it is a simple fix. Sometimes people just need to be reminded of what they share. An impartial mediator that can draw out the real problem is better than hurting your spouse and children more by not communicating the correct feelings and problems.
I know that there are many cases that the break up is unavoidable. When there really isn’t love in the home then it is time to move on. When you love your spouse and your children they need reminding. The physical pain and heartache is much worse when every avenue has not be explored or even discussed to save the marriage. It also helps to not do anything to further the destruction of the marriage until everything has been done to save it.
Remember that love and lust are not the same. Love is something you share. Lust is the selfishness that you have to battle. People need to be reminded of that. Our “modern” society doesn’t give you the distinction. It is shown to be one in the same.
Life is a hard road. Remember your family is traveling it with you. Ups and downs, triumphs and disappointments are apart of life. When you have your spouse and children with you, you still have everything. In life you try to strive for more ups than downs. Downs only make the ups sweeter. When you have your family with you the downs are not so bad and the ups are the sweetest they can be.
Husband’s love your wife. Show her you love her. Remind yourself everyday what it is that makes you love this special woman. Let her know you love her, by your actions and your words. She in turn will love you back.
Wives, let your husband love you. Speak to him. Let him know you love him. Remember what he does for you that no other had done. If he love’s you he will listen and understand. Be patient with him, he loves you.
The children watch every move you make. Not all the time are the right moves made, but at least with the love you have for your family the wrong move can be easily fixed. The love you show for each other is picked up on by your children. It will be engrained in them what love really is. They will see how the two of you interact and will know that is how they should live life. You are the best teachers in the world. Your children are the best pupils.
The horror of your spouse leaving is something that I hope no one has to go through, though it may happen. The thing you can do is let them that you love them. That you are willing to do what it takes to make your marriage work. If you exhaust all avenues to no avail, then really it wasn’t meant to be. Put your heart and soul into it. Don’t do it for this reason or that reason. Do it for the love you have shared and for the love you share for you children. If it doesn’t work out then just remember that you have children that need love and that even apart you need to make sure that they know that you still love them.
Sometimes in our “modern” society love and loss on historic proportions happen. 99.99% of the time no one dies and cities or countries are not destroyed, most of the time it’s just between families, real people with real feelings. This is not usually good story making.

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. The 56 signatures on the Declaration appear in the positions indicated: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6 |
“Climate Change” Bill to be voted on Friday
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124579482359843937.html
The House is set to vote on the Waxman-Markey Global Warming bill also know as Cap and Trade. The link above to the Wall Street Journal article gives an over view of the bill.
This bill will help lower our standard of living, because we will not be able to afford the things that we enjoy and expect as Americans. Below is a link to the Heritage Foundation’s analysis of the bill. If you haven’t heard about this bill or you have and it sounded like sunshine and ponies, please read the analysis.
Finally, let your representative know your thoughts on this bill. Dennis Moore is my representative and he always does the opposite of what I would like to see him do. I still send his office emails of my opinions on bills up for a vote. I want him to know at least one person doesn’t like what he is doing. I only say this because he ALWAYS votes party line.
I know this read might be “boring” but, being bored and too lazy to find out the facts is what got us our new President and look where he is taking us.

The bell tolls for GM
BO has done it. He has taken control of his first company with Chrysler to be #2. This is the blackest day in American history. It least the civil war was to keep the US together. This is about destroying the US and the capitalism that has made the world the great place that it is. There is no other country that is as great as the US. BO and his communist minions will slowly come to get us. Starting with the corporations then on to small business then the people.
Will he order his brown shirts to come take us away? Probably. Most people will be happy to go. That is how numb the people have become. As long as they get to see their stories they will be happy. The people were so numbed into voting for this horrible joke called BO, whatever propaganda he spews forth they will believe.
Taking over GM is good for the company is horse manure. He knows and most people know it. But it is the beloved supreme leader, saying this. This makes me sick.
Liberals voice concerns about BO
It was bound to happen, I just didn’t think this quick. Liberals voice concerns about Obama.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16292.html
Of course, they are complaining that the liberals he picked are not liberal (socialist/communist) enough. They will do what he needs them to do. Get him 8 years in office. He sees himself as a Roosevelt figure. So I guess he will need a war in 2 years to reach that status.
BO is showing his socialist side more everyday
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081207/D94U22AO1.html
No you stupid hippies its not ok. Socialism rots and destroys the human spirit. The human spirit is what makes America great. If you don’t like it, then move to Europe. That place is a socialist hotbed of stupidity. The Netherlands are starting to come around to the thinking that prostitution, drugs, and multiculturalism is not ok and destroys society. BO embodies all these things. We all need to stand up and let this simpleton know that it is not ok to destroy American industry by letting the unions dictate how a company is run. Unions and congress are what destroyed these companies and if someone wants to destroy an American institution, destroy the unions. This will help make the auto industry competitive and save jobs.
Oh and just FYI, many Americans bought SUV’s not because someone told them to, but because they could. Forcing the auto industy to make something people don’t want doesn’t mean people will buy it. Toyota got lucky with the Prius. I have read that in India and China the hottest selling vehicles are SUV’s.
What I haven’t seen out there is that congress helped the auto industry get into this mess and now what to make it worse by mandating rules that are not business friendly. Whose side on these traitors on? You think GW Bush sold us out. Wait until the Dems have more power and BO gets his real power. Then we are all screwed, even more.
Louisiana delivers GOP 2 seats in Congress
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081207/D94TPC680.html
Louisiana has learned the hard way what Democrats and Liberals do to destroy society. They are on track to show the rest of us that Dems and Libs are no good for anything. I hope that these newly elected individuals uphold the Republican ideals and the hope that they will do what they promised.
