MY BELIEFS, MY THOUGHT, MY CONCERNS, AND MY VIEWS

OK THESE ARE MY BELIEFS, MY THOUGHTS, MY CONCERNS, AND MY VIEWS.
I BELIEVE IN GOD, HE IS THE ALL MIGHTY LOVING GOD.
I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND THAT THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON, EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT KNOW THE REASON AT THE TIME.
EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE, EVERYONE HAS A PURPOSE.
I WILL RAISE MY CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH AND TRY TO INSTILL IN THEM THE SAME MORAL UPBRINGING THAT I HAD.
I TRY TO LIVE MY LIFE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT ME AND KNOW THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN.

MY THOUGHTS:
PEOPLE WANT EVERYTHING NOW, YET THINK THAT IT IS OWED TO THEM AND DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY WORK FOR WHAT THEY HAVE. THERE IS TOO MUCH BLAME PUT ON OTHER PEOPLE AND NOT ENOUGH RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN FOR ACTIONS. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.

MY CONCERNS:
WITH THE RISING GAS PRICES I DON'T SEE ANYONE TRYING TO HELP OUT. I DON'T SEE ANYONE TRYING TO GET THE PRICES LOWERED. I DON'T HERE OF ANY OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TRYING TO HELP THE PEOPLE THAT PUT THEM IN OFFICE.
IT ALSO REALLY BOTHERS ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING DONE IN THIS COUNTRY TO BRING JOBS HERE AND RETAIN THE MANUFACTURING JOBS THAT WE HAVE.

ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE IS THAT WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK I SEE A LOT OF SCHOOL BUSES, YET NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FULL. WHY IS IT THAT WITH THE INCREASE IN FUEL AND THE DECREASE IN QUALITY OF EDUCATION CAN THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS NOT GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER AND SEE THAT MAGNET SCHOOLS ARE NOTHING BUT A NEW WAY TO SAY BUSING. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS RIGHT FOR CHILDREN TO BE ON A SCHOOL BUS FOR AN HOUR IN THE MORNING AND AN HOUR IN THE EVENING. THEY CLAIM THAT IS IT BECAUSE THE SCHOOL SPECIALIZE IN DIFFERENT AREAS, WELL I THINK THAT IS A BUNCH OF GARBAGE. I DON'T THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE TO SUFFER AND PAY BECAUSE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION CANNOT GET THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEMS STRAIGHTENED OUT. IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH DISCIPLINE, YOU FIX THE PROBLEM, DON'T MOVE IT TO A SCHOOL THAT IS THRIVING AND ACHIEVING ITS GOALS. A MAJOR PART OF THE DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL TODAY IS BECAUSE PARENTS DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO BE PARENTS. THEY THINK THAT IT IS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM'S RESPONSIBILITY TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN, YET THEY GET MAD WHEN THEIR DISRESPECTFUL CHILDREN GET IN TROUBLE. CHILDREN ARE NOT SHOWN WHAT RESPECT IS, WHAT SELF WORTH IS, WHAT HONESTY IS, AND WHAT MORALS ARE.

MY VIEWS:
I AM A CHRISTIAN
I AM A REPUBLICAN
I AM FAIRLY CONSERVATIVE
I AM PRO LIFE, I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, I FEEL MARRIAGE IS A SACRED UNION BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.
I AM NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT
I AM FOR EQUAL RIGHTS WHEN ALL IS EQUAL
I FEEL WE SHOULD SECURE OUR BORDERS AND PROTECT OUR PEOPLE
WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY FROM THE TOP DOWN
AS AMERICANS WE NEED TO TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR COUNTRY
WE NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND ACTUALLY ENJOY LIFE
MORE TIME NEEDS TO BE SPENT WITH FAMILY
PEOPLE NEED TO BE MORE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS
THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR ACTIONS, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE BASICS
OUR CONGRESSMEN AND REPRESENTATIVES NEED TO STOP MAKING NEW LAWS THAT FIT THEIR NEEDS
WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

THESE ARE SOME OF MY BELIEFS, THOUGHTS, CONCERNS, AND VIEWS. I HAVE MANY MORE, BUT SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO WRITE THEM DOWN

GAS PRICES

AS I DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY I LOOK AND CRINGE WHEN I SEE A GAS STATION. THE PRICE KEEPS GOING UP AND UP AND UP. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO HAPPEN. THERE IS NO REASON THAT CRUDE OIL KEEPS GOING UP AT RECORD PACES. THE ONLY REASON FOR IT IS THAT OIL COMPANIES ARE TRYING TO MADE MORE AND MORE PROFIT. IF A CEO MAKES A COUPLE MILLION DOLLAR SALARY WITH MILLIONS OF ADDED PERKS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TOO GREEDY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE CAUSING SO MANY PEOPLE TO STRUGGLE. I AM ALSO SICK AND TIRED OF THE EXCUSES THAT ARE MADE TO JUSTIFY THE PRICES. TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK OUT FOR AMERICANS AND SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF AMERICANS ARE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE HIGH GAS PRICES.
ANOTHER THING THAT GETS ME IS THAT ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE AROUND IN THESE BIG SUV'S DON'T SEEM TO BE THE ONES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE GAS PRICES, IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE SMALL COMPACT CARS THAT JUST A FEW YEARS AGO COULD FILL UP FOR $12.00. NOW IT IS ALL THEY CAN DO TO KEEP A HALF TANK. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRICES. IT IS CAUSING SO MANY PROBLEMS FOR THE LOWER WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. WE NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO PROTECT OUR INTEREST AND NOW JUST THERE TO MAKE A BUCK. I THOUGHT THAT THE DEMOCRATS SAID THAT IF THEY GOT CONTROL OF CONGRESS THAT THEY GUARANTEED THAT GAS PRICES WOULD NOT GO BACK UP, YET LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LET GAS KEEP GOING UP TO MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK BAD, BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THEM, THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SUFFER SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK LIKE THE HERO'S. TO ME THEY ALL NEED TO GO, NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTY.
JUST TO SAY AGAIN THESE GAS PRICES ARE TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND A RIP OFF!

MORALS

AS A COUNTRY WE HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE BASIC MORALS TO LIVE BY. I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THOSE MORALS AND START LIVING LIFE RIGHT. CHURCH NEEDS TO BE A PRIORITY, WE NEED TO MAKE FAMILY VALUES IMPORTANT, LIKE EATING DINNER TOGETHER, PLAYING TOGETHER, TALKING, TAKING WALKS, SHARING STORIES, LAUGHING, JUST DOING NOTHING TOGETHER. WE NEED TO TEACH RIGHT FROM WRONG AND NOT PREACH AT PEOPLE FOR DOING WRONG. BACK TO THE BASICS. WE DON'T NEED TO WRITE NEW LAWS WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THE UNNECESSARY ONES AND LIVE BY THE LAWS THAT REALLY MATTER. WE CANNOT KEEP WRITING LAWS JUST TO FIT INTO CERTAIN LIFESTYLES. THE LAWS NEED TO BE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET LIKE PUNISHMENT. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE MONEY DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD BE "ABOVE THE LAW." THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE THE BASIS OF OUR LAWS AND THOSE ARE THE LAWS THAT WE SHOULD STICK TO. TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. DON'T ALWAYS BE A TAKER, ONE DAY YOU MAY REALLY NEED SOMETHING. SHOW RESPECT FOR ELDERS, SHOW COMPASSION FOR EVERYONE, SHOW REMORSE FOR HURTING, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS, IT CAN'T ALWAYS BE SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. WE NEED TO ALL WORK ON BRING BACK MORALS PRIDE BACK TO OUR COUNTRY. IT NEEDS TO START AT HOME AND IN THE CHURCH. BACK TO THE BASICS!

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE VOTE OUR OFFICIALS IN WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR PROMISES. WITH THE COST OF LIVING GOING UP AT A VERY FAST PACE, WHY IS IT THAT JUST IN THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS IN DC HAVE VOTED THESELVES PAY RAISES WORTH OVER 16,000(ABOUT.COM). THAT IS CRAZY!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GET A RAISE UNTIL MIM WAGE GOES UP IF EVEN THEN. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE INTEREST OF THOSE WHO PUT THEM IN OFFICE. THEY DON'T TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, THEY CREATE NEW ONES.
I DON'T SEE THE PURPOSE IN WRITING NEW LAWS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES. OUR LAWS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS AND YEARS, SO LET'S LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAVE TO WIRTE NEW RULES FOR "SPECIAL" GROUPS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LAND OF EQUALITY.
WE NEED TO ELECT NEW OFFICIALS, BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE IN OFFICE NOW, IN MY OPINION, HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXCAPT GET US DEEPER IN DEBT AND RUN THE COST OF LIVING UP.
THERE IS NO REASON THAT GAS PRICES KEEP GOING UP EXCEPT FOR PRICE GOUGING AND THE HIGH UP EXECUTIVES ARE GETTING RICHER AND SOMEONE HAS THEIR HAND IN THE POT, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE DAYS THAT YOU LIVED BY THE RULES OF THE CHURCH-THE TEN COMMANDMENTS-AND THAT YOU COULD TRUST PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WERE HONEST?
WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE BASICS AND BRING BACK MORALS IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.
BUY AMERICAN
GOD BLESS AMERICA--AMERICA BLESS GOD

MADE IN AMERICA

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. I GUESS THAT I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT IS THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN IN THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE IN WITH ALL OF OUR IMPORTS. I GET SO DISCOURAGED WHEN I WALK THROUGH A STORE AND I CAN FIND NOTHING MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. WITH ALL OF THE RECENT RECALLS, WE AS A COUNTRY NEED TO TAKE CONTROL AND DEMAND THAT THIS COUNTRY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT WHAT ALL OF THESE IMPORTS ARE DOING TO OUR ECONOMY AND NOT TO MENTION TO OUR HEALTH AND TO THE HEALTH OF OUR CHILDREN. YOU CAN'T WALK INTO A TOY STORE AND HARDLY FIND ANYTHING MADE IN THIS COUNTRY, IT REALLY MAKES MY STOMACH TURN. WE NEED TO TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COUNTRY AND CLEAN UP ALL OF THE NONSENSE AND SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE CAN DO IT ON OUR OWN, WE HAVE DONE IT ONCE IT'S TIME TO DO IT AGAIN.
