Feel the Heat

Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license. — George Chapman

The summer is hot. The crops are dying, food and gasoline prices are on the rise, tempers flare, and politicians are on vacation. And the people, the people suffer the misery created by both nature and politicians.

So it is with today’s politician, the con artists who don’t give a damn about you and your problems, problems they in their infinite desire for power, created for you in order to subjugate you. All in the name of compassion of course.

For years, nay decades you have been told, taught, and manipulated into believing that the all-powerful government is the only solution to your problems. You were commanded to believe it is government programs which will make you happy and provide you with a bliss never before enjoyed in this country. After all government is the all knowing and benevolent guardian of everyone… well, everyone except conservatives and Christians.

This indoctrination, the destruction of American exceptionalism, is a joint effort by politicians and main stream media (who I now refer to as Benedict Arnold’s) to control every aspect of your life. Why? Because men of evil intent need to control other men, it is the way, and has always been the way of the world and is no more complicated than that.

The problem is these con artists delude themselves into believing the actions they take, the control they enforce is for your own good, because they and they alone are concerned about your well being. You are, after all, too stupid to know what is best for you and your family.

These benefactors are, at least most of them are, Ivy League graduates whose tolerance and compassion knows no bounds. The bare bones truth is that deep in their heart and soul they desire control over all things and that includes your life. For they, with their boundless compassion, know exactly how to live your life much better than you do.

Are you feeling the heat of their compassion yet? If not then one of two things are happening: You either agree with the methods of control they impose, or you are dead. And if you fall into the “not caring one way or the other” category, then you fall into the dead category. That is you don’t give a damn how deep the politicians infiltrate your life.

Our country was founded on the principle of individual responsibility not government control of others. The Founding Fathers had enough of government control and thus this experiment called America was born. This experiment, which at the time was very controversial and unproven, has proven to be very effective and successful. For this nation goes against the conventional wisdom of the world and stands alone, as a beacon of hope to the rest of humanity.

But, politicians don’t want you to believe any of that. Truth, justice and the American way is so lame and outdated. How dare you believe in liberty and freedom, much less that old document formerly known as the Constitution. Didn’t you know, didn’t someone tell you that the Constitution is unconstitutional?

In the eyes of the con artists this country is evil and must pay for the sins of the past. My question is why must I endure hardships because of a politician who lived 150 years ago? Was it not politicians of those days who created the “sins” we, the current survivors must now pay for? And was it not the politicians of those days who created and enforced slavery? But was it not some leaders of those days who saw this evil for what it was and destroyed it? Not according to modern history books. The Civil War means nothing to those that burn with hatred for this country.

Feel the heat of compassion as policies are created and enforced to mute your right to a free opinion. Feel the heat of tolerance from those who disagree with your opinion and demand you abandon your beliefs, your ethics, and your devotion to a Higher Power to accept their malignant tumor of thinking.

Politicians and activists want to control your business, nay every part of your life, and if they find it does not correspond to their deviant standards will do everything in their power to destroy you and your livelihood. There is no fabric of life they will not control if given the opportunity. Don’t believe me, consider these items:

Politicians want to know how many miles you drive in a given time. Why?

Politicians demand to control your paycheck so they use the IRS to ensure you never have an opportunity to succeed. Why?

Politicians want to control the type and amount of food you eat, and if you don’t abide by their “concept” of healthy food they chastise you in public. Why?

Politicians will not allow you to pray in the location of your choice, like your own home, for if you disregard their “laws”, and you are a Christian, then you will suffer jail time. Why?

Politicians will not allow you to capture rain water on your own property, and if you violate “their” rain water policy you go to jail. Why?

Politicians demand you conduct your business in the way they deem fit, not what is best for you or your customers. Why?

Politicians will not allow you to put salt on your own food. Why?

Politicians deem popcorn with butter to be dangerous food. Why?

Politicians support the murder of babies but will not or ever support the distribution of Bibles. Why?

Politicians support freedom of speech as long as they agree with it, if not then the speech is hate speech and the perpetrator must be punished. Why?

A lot of questions and no real answers save one, the one I keep coming back to: Politicians and activist have the overwhelming desire to control every aspect of your life and they will stop at nothing until they achieve that goal. Period.

So what can you and I do about it? A lot actually, and the power we have scares the hell out of politicians and activist alike.

First realize that you and you alone are accountable for your success or failure. I don’t care what a politician says or does the bottom line is they cannot control your thoughts. For it is your thoughts they fear the most. Your freedom to think, to evaluate, to judge, and to decide is what sends a politician or activist running away like the wimp they are. The politician realizes if you think for yourself their goose is cooked and their game of control is over. This is why a politician will do and say anything to keep you from thinking for yourself. If you think for yourself you remove the heat from you and place it on them, where it should and always be.

Second, after you decide to think for yourself and evaluate your situation you have the obligation and duty to vote. This is your power. This is what politicians fear the most because the ballot box is the sword which renders any politician mute. This is why the Black Panthers intimidate voters. This is why the Justice Department sues to stop voter ID laws from being enforced. This is why intimidation and misinformation is the key to controlling the ballot box. Never underestimate the politician’s desire and willingness to eliminate the ballot box from the public square. Once a politician has a taste of power then in most cases they set themselves up as lord and master over all. We see evidence of it every day.

Third, realize that you control your destiny. How you live your life, how you help others, and how you hold yourself accountable is critical to your well being. Politicians want to manipulate this by making you believe government and only government can benefit you. So the politicians encourage laziness and dependency. These politicians demand the “rich” pay their fair share and give all their money to a lazy no good bum who in turn will vote for the politician who forced the issue. Never mind the “rich” worked their tails off year-after-year to achieve what he/she has. Never mind that the lazy no good bums, the losers in life, have done absolutely nothing with their life to earn a dime. No, the losers among us have been brainwashed into believing those who work and earn are winners of the lottery and because of their wealth they must “give” all they have to the losers in life. After all success, all success, must be punished wherever it is found.

You and you alone control your destiny and when you don’t hold politicians accountable for their actions via the vote, you have no room to complain or criticize about how the government is stealing from you.

There is right and there is wrong and for too long we the people have allowed the main stream media to maintain total control over the definition of right and wrong. Instead of holding the news media accountable for the lies and misrepresentation they command, we the people just let it slide and so we have the situation we have today.

Fourth, decide to control your own life and happiness. If you are miserable and in despair realize it is you, yourself who has put you there. Despite all the hardships, heartbreaks, and misery your happiness boils down to one and only one thing: Your attitude.

Challenges? You bet. Disappointments? For sure. Heartaches? Damn right. But still how you respond, not react, determines how you visualize your life. You don’t need government to be happy, in fact it is government who is making you miserable. So that begs a question, just who is government?

We all think of government as this entity who knows all and sees all. Well you got part of it right. But behind the term “government” exist people, individuals who aspire to be in control, to control your life. In short these individuals do the will of the politicians appointed over them. Thus “government” consists of people who are determined to make your life just as miserable as a politician does. Don’t believe me? Consider this: The Social Security Administration just ordered 174,000 bullets, hollow point bullets (http://www.infowars.com/social-security-administration-to-purchase-174-thousand-rounds-of-hollow-point-bullets/).

Why does the Social Security Administration need all these bullets? Well according to the article it’s to quell the coming uprising expected when the old people march on the Social Security building demanding their social security checks and benefits. Just imagine 1,000 old people, using their walkers, being “mowed down” by government agents with automatic weapons and murdered in the streets because the politicians cannot, and will not do anything to save the program. And those few politicians who want to save the program, what happens to them? They are maligned and destroyed by the main stream media as extremist of the highest caliber. I give you Paul Ryan and the New York Times.

Politicians caused the problems we face today and now that it is re-election time these same con artists turn around and tell you to your face they are the only ones who can fix the problems they created. Yeah, right.

In the form of the vote you hold a mighty sword in your hands, a weapon which can save or destroy our country. How you use it depends upon who you believe: A lying cheating politician, or yourself.

It’s time to hold the con artists responsible and the only way to do that is for you to hold yourself accountable.

Feel the heat of change, and embrace it.
