Immigration Reform Cannot Begin Until Our Borders Are Secure.

• Why deal with those 11 million or more already here when you cannot stop the influx crossing the border?
• It will only increase the flow of more to come here.
• Border walls and fences have been budgeted years ago, but foot dragging and purposeful delays by our own government leave the illegals to keep on crossing.
• Shame on our politicians in Washington! It's all about Mexican votes.
• How are we going to support these people coming here with no job? Using our generous food stamps, medical service, committing crimes and we the tax payer pays for it.

An excerpt from the editorial,

"Mexican drug cartels literally do control parts of Arizona," Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu told reporters at the time. "They literally have scouts on the high points in the mountains and in the hills and they literally control movement."

• Pray for our country.

Sunday Psalm and Prayer

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel
   of the ungodly,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and
   night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives
   away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
   judgement.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the
   righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the
   righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

New King James Version 

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

• 54% also claim that individual Muslims are fundamentalist, predominantly (10%), or at least partly (44%), in their attitudes. 

• The French have learned, let us pray that we learn as well.

Our Liberty Is Being Taken Away. Second Amendment Insures Our Constitutional Rights.

• Our liberties slowly been taken away. Think Obama Care.
• It's astonishing that only 75% believe that the U.S. Constitution insures our basic rights.
• How many of these 75% will defend our basic Second Amendment Right?
• World War II, 200,000 Americans gave their lives to preserve our freedoms.
• That fact is probably not in the public school history books.

Russia Warns Americans: Never Surrender Your Guns.

• The Second Amendment, our most important right.
• America is being attacked by our President Obama.
• The Democrats always have been working to take our guns.

An excerpt from the news report,

Writing in the newspaper Pravda, where he is a regular contributor, Stanislav Mishin, notes that one of the first things the early Communist rulers did was to disarm the population. "From that point," he says, "mass repression, mass arrests, mass deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle."
Even with the demise of the Soviet Union, Stalin-era gun restrictions continue with Mishin giving the reason: "For those of us fighting for our traditional rights, the U.S. 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever-darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime. But in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position."

• Absolute parental involvement. 

An excerpt from the article,

The fact is, Americans across the country -- but especially in large, urban school systems -- are voting with their feet and abandoning traditional public schools, to the point that teachers are facing layoffs. Some are going to charter schools, which are still public but are run more flexibly. Some are leaving for private schools. But many others are going another step beyond traditional education, and switching to online school or even pure home schooling.

• Government run education, a huge disaster.

Obama's Past 4 Years of Economic Woes; Latest Gallup Reveals Outlook Is Dismal.

• It is going to get far worse.
• An aside note: Increase in gun sales is a very scary indication.

 An excerpt from the report,

By a nearly two-to-one margin Americans are certain that 2013 will see 12 months of economic troubles. That seems like a pretty safe expectation since that's what we've had for four years of this administration, despite $800 billion-plus in wasted economic stimulus. Call it Obama Continuity.
The two-thirds (65%) who see a tough economic year ahead, despite Obama's improving golf game, is one of the highest percentage of gloom-sayers since Gallup first asked the question 48 years ago.

• Socialism has failed repeatedly, but we are not convinced yet! 
• We can blame ourselves for this.

Happy New Year

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
  And never brought to min'?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
  And auld lang syne?

     For auld lang syne, my dear,
         For auld lang syne,
    We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
         For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
   And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
   Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidled i'the burn,
   From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
   Sin' auld lang syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
   And giie's a hand o' thine:
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
   For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
   And surely I'll be mine;
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
   For auld lang syne. 

Robert Burns
