Germany ...the truth from a German; future America?

This is from my adult stepson...For years, he was dubious about my husband and my warnings about what could face Germany and America ...... he didn't want to believe a lot of what he heard, he was more liberal ..... but he's reading more, listening more, and getting fed up these last few years, and he wrote me this on Tuesday:   (I have to admit to editing only very slightly to make it 100% understandable...his English is excellent):

You know that Europe is falling apart. Like the lefties in the US, the German government passes laws when everybody else is watching the European soccer championship to make sure that this happens unnoticed.   (Z: sound familiar, folks?)
They also want to pass laws that would transfer the sovereignty of unlimited financial powers to Brussels with a clause that says this can never be stopped!!!  (Z: more familiarity?)
The (educated and interested) people are pissed big time that the established parties (from Die Linke (THE LEFT), the Greens, SPD and the formerly conservative CDU) are doing everything they can to sell out and destroy Germany  absolutely on purpose with the unrealistic hopes of trying to save the Euro, with a major lack of reality in general and with the awful massive immigration we have now.

Some are writing that there will be a civil war in the future when even the dumbest people realize that they have been framed by the people betrayers call politicians and parliament.  Actually I think this is not so far fetched.

Even (a friend) Walter who studied social pedagogy (a study of which usually brings people automatically to the left) recently said that he expects major trouble in some time and made remarks that really surprised me. Whenever I said something against immigration and the crooks of politicians he always stood up for them.  Obviously, he has changed his mind to some degree which I consider almost a miracle because he was so far left.

I told my uncle to blow his money for things he enjoys - it won't be worth anything soon. At first he denied it, now he agrees to it. He has the same opinions like we do and he only watches the left on TV because what's always on is the leftist, politically correct media. It really speaks well for him that, in spite of the TV he has to watch, he has sensible opinions because he reads and hears between the lines, somehow getting to the truth in spite of the left's mainstream media. (Z: enter conservative blogs and COMMON SENSE?)

So, that's Germany today.  Sound familiar?  Our whole world needs a LOT of help.

By the way, my stepson also tells me that the level of violence from immigrants on Germans is rising at astonishing rates.........he's taking Martial Arts, etc......Germans have been killed in the subway system, etc....things are getting tougher and tougher in that beautiful country.  They've had muslims with their faces hidden on TV interviewed, saying they think Germans are a joke and thanking them for all the money they give to them, saying how stupid they are for doing so.  They have NO respect for the country and think their politicians are total pushovers..........it's so sad.


Danke, Jungen..

Check out our pal and fellow blogger Rita's excellent blog HERE....She's got two videos show Mike Rowe of Discovery Channel's 'Dirty Jobs' talking about JOBS IN AMERICA....I couldn't agree more with him and truly believe you'll want to at least listen to the top video she's highlighted. 
He is SO RIGHT...and you'll be so troubled by some of his facts...I nominate him JOBS CZAR :-) At least HE wouldn't be sending American jobs overseas like the one we have is!

Republican governors and unemployment...which msm will cover THIS truth?

by Tony Lee

In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in these Republican states is improving 50% faster than the national rate. 

Since January of 2011, here is how much the unemployment rate declined in each of the 17 states that elected Republican governors in 2010, according to the Examiner: 

Kansas - 6.9% to 6.1% = a decline of 0.8%

Maine - 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%

Michigan - 10.9% to 8.5% = a decline of 2.4%

New Mexico - 7.7% to 6.7% = a decline of 1.0%

Oklahoma - 6.2% to 4.8% = a decline of 1.4%

Pennsylvania - 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%

Tennessee - 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6%

Wisconsin - 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9%

Wyoming - 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1%

Alabama - 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9%

Georgia - 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2%

South Carolina - 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5%

South Dakota - 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7%

Florida - 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3%

Nevada - 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2%

Iowa - 6.1% to 5.1% = a decline of 1.0%

Ohio - 9.0% to 7.3% = a decline of 1.7%

On the other hand, the unemployment rate in states that elected Democrats in 2010 dropped, on average, as much as the national rate decline and, in some states such as New York, the unemployment rate has risen since January of 2011. 

This is yet another example of how the so-called “blue state” model is not working.  End of  article.

Can't imagine why CNN or MSNBC or the networks haven't picked this up :-)

Ed, you're right....I know stories AS bad as that one and I have no desire to get close...even by accident! :-)sorry, pals...........thanks for your comments, anyway.   That group's WAY too much for us, believe me.

For those who haven't, you really should learn about the situation below..it's astonishing.  And all true.

Obama uses demonstratable LIES in his TV ad...and keeps them running

Here is an Obama campaign ad saying that Romney, through Bain Capital, was responsible for sending many jobs overseas.  They cite the Washington Post as a reference.  Oops.

The Washington Post gives the Obama people FOUR PINOCCHIOS for LYING...yes, not ME, but the Liberal Washington Post. When the Romney folks saw what Obama was doing, they tried to get the truth known.  HERE is the article about that....read that carefully, you'll be amazed at what Obama tried to pull....until The Washington Post's OWN "Fact Checker" did their homework and came up with the truth.
Here's some of that.............
A better source for Romney’s behavior as an investor might be someone who actually worked on Wall Street, such as former Obama auto czar Steven Rattner. “Bain Capital is not now, nor has it ever been, some kind of Gordon Gekko-like, fire-breathing corporate raider that slashed and burned companies, immolating jobs wherever they appear in its path,” Rattner wrote in Politico this year.    Yup, Steve Rattner, OBAMA's auto czar.
Regarding the outsourcing claims, we have frowned on these before. The Obama campaign rests its case on three examples of Bain-controlled companies sending jobs overseas. But only one of the examples — involving Holson Burns Group — took place when Romney was actively managing Bain Capital.
 Regarding the other claims, concerning Canadian electronics maker SMTC Manufacturing and customer service firm Modus Media, the Obama campaign tries to take advantage of a gray area in which Romney had stepped down from Bain — to manage the Salt Lake City Olympics — but had not sold his shares in the firm. We had previously given the Obama campaign Three Pinocchios for such tactics.
The Modus Media case is also not an example of shipping jobs overseas. The company closed one plant in California and transferred the jobs to North Carolina, Washington and Utah. At the same time, it opened an unrelated plant in Mexico. The Obama campaign once trumpeted the fact that we had dinged a conservative Super PAC for making the same leap in logic.

The claim that Romney outsourced jobs as governor is equally overblown.

You see, that Romney was a 'corporate raider' is false.    So, Obama has an ad using the Washington Post as a source that Romney sent jobs overseas, but the Washington Post's own Fact Checker ends its exposure of the lie with:

The Pinocchio Test

The Obama campaign fails to make its case. On just about every level, this ad is misleading, unfair and untrue, from the use of “corporate raider” to its examples of alleged outsourcing.  Simply repeating the same debunked claims won’t make them any more correct. 

Think most Americans will only see the ad and not the truth?    You can bet on it.  And then they vote.

Federer wins again.  Ho hum.

Ernest Borgnine is dead.........

I loved everything Borgnine ever did, particularly MARTY.    I had a friend who, when we were both still single, I'd do things with like going to the movies, mostly going to dinner, or (believe it or not) playing pool!.......we'd try to decide what to do and always quote from the film... "What do you want to do, Marty?   I don't know what do YOU want to do.." like they did in the film....
I guess he doesn't have to say THAT anymore.   I loved Marty.

I hated Borgnine's guts as Sgt Judson in From Here to Eternity......he pummeled Maggio and we all hated him for it.....Rest in Peace, Mr. Borgnine.   You were a terrific actor.

Sunday Faith Blog....

John Adams, who became the nation's second president once, wrote: "Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God...What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be."

I suppose Christians would still call themselves Christians as they picked and chose from the Bible for whatever pleased them and condemned "that mean old God who actually had the nerve to kill people in the Old Testament" ...completely ignoring that He IS God and they can't have a clue what He's up to... 

But what a better world.........where people didn't hurt others, where children looked up to parents who actually deserved their respect, where people gave from their hearts when someone was sick or otherwise needy, where conscience and true wisdom helped us make better, healthier choices in our lives.......funny, those things were the 'rule' not that many years ago, weren't they.   Something's happened to us only very recently on such a wide scale basis in our very progressive, intellectual hopes of dissing anything Christian or embracing Christianity without embracing, and even insulting, the ONLY (I mean only) way Christians are informed...the Bible.  ("prey, what other way?" as Adams might have asked).

"He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble."  Proverbs 3:34


Have a beautiful Sunday.......think of John Adams' words........"obliged to conscience" again in America, humbled by the Word of God.   Imagine?
