Who Are You?

Who are you
husband or friend?
Does it matter
in the end?

Are you spouse
or soul mate?
Either way’s fine
I won’t debate

Who do I
tell secrets to?
Well my dear
it’s only you

Who holds me
when I cry?
Who knows when
I don’t try?

Who’s the one
that sees me
for what I am
and can be?

Who loves me
just the way
that I am
on any day?

I can make
no good excuse
for my past
there’s no use

But the present’s
yours and mine
may our lives
be forever entwined

I love you Mark
’til death does part
what no man could
right from the start!

Detroit, Scary, Very Scary – Via Mom – The Rise or Fall of America?

This is a little long guys but well worth the time and effort.  My post:

A Lesson To Be Taught In All Schools/Colleges – Via Mom…

is gaining speed and has been read almost 700 times.  These veterans that this story is about are the ones who fought and saw their buddies die for our freedom and rights as a nation.  If you love America, read this post please.

 

(Frosty Wooldridge (born 1947) is a US journalist, writer, environmentalist, traveler)

 

DETROIT

By Frosty Wooldridge

For 15 years, from the mid 1970′s to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan . I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere!

Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps!

 

With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson‘s ‘Great Society‘ flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.

 

 

 

Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America, outside of Richard Daley in Chicago, rode Detroit down to its knees… He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, “I am the MFIC.” The IC meant “in charge”.

 

 

 

 

You can figure out the rest Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.

 

 

 

 

 

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state.

 

 

 

 

 

Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan , but most work in Detroit . As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.

 

 

 

 

As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife! Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America ..

 

 

 

 

 

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan , paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC’s Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America .. English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.

 

 

 

 

Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In Time Magazine’s October 4, 2009, “The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again,” I choked on the writer’s description of what happened. “If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we’d know a lot more about it,” said Daniel Okrent. “If drought and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we’d see it on the evening news every night.” Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.

 

 

 

 

But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.

 

 

 

 

 

Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision making.”

 

 

 

 

As Coleman Young’s corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kickbacks and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city’s death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit .

 

 

 

 

 

“By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit ‘s treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services,” Okrent said. “The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers’ union to reject a philanthropist’s offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit today, the unemployment rate is 28.9%. That’s worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent.

 

 

 

 

At the end of Okrent’s report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, “That’s because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city’s collapse, it’s also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century.

 

 

 

 

 

If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can’t find a way to get up, what does that say about America’s future?”

 

 

 

 

As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner’s book,”$20 Per Gallon”, the auto industry won’t come back. Immigration will keep pouring more and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit , thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America . If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.

 

 

 

 

You have already seen it in Madrid, Spain, London, England, and Paris, France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying. Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country and way of life.

 

 

 

 

I PRAY EVERYONE THAT READS THIS REALIZES THAT IF WE DON’T STAND UP, AND SCREAM AT WASHINGTON , AND OUR STATE, CITY AND LOCAL LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS THE REST OF AMERICA . IF YOU THINK MEXICANS AND MUSLIMS AND OTHER FORIEGNERS WILL EVENTUALLY FIT RIGHT IN THEN YOU ARE AS BIG A PART OF THE PROBLEM AS THEY ARE.

 

 

 

 

 

IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I’M SORRY, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND FIGHT ?

No Christmas In The White House – Via Mom – WHAT?!

 

White House will not do Christmas!

 Thought you might be interested in this information from the White House..
This isn’t a rumor; this is a fact.
 
A very talented artist for several years has painted ornaments to be hung
on the various White House Christmas trees. The WH sends out an
invitation to send an ornament and informs the artists of the theme for the year.
 
She got her letter from the WH recently. It said that they would not be
called Christmas trees this year. They will be called Holiday trees.. And, to
please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme. She was
very upset at this development and sent back a reply telling them that she
painted the ornaments for Christmas trees and would not be sending any
for display that left Christ out of Christmas.
 
Just thought you should know what the new residents in the WH plan for
the future of America . If you missed his statement that “we do not consider
ourselves a Christian Nation” this should confirm that he plans to take
us away from our religious foundation as quickly as possible.
 
Just another step toward turning America away from Christianity!
 
We should shout to the highest hills that the White House is ours – not
the Obama‘s, and 85% of Americans believe in Christ (Christmas)..
 
You have two choices, delete or pass it on.*

Turn to Gray

As I sit here swinging away
all my thoughts turn to gray

How my heart you did betray
when you threw my love away

I have no word to say
and my hopes are in decay

This life has begun to fray
all to my broken heart’s dismay

How can I to you convey
what you’ve done to me today?

So I sit here swinging away
in attempt the pain to delay

As the damage I do assay
and dream of a better day!

Vanity

“I have great beauty
people see it too
and everywhere I go
I know they do!”

All I can say
is vanity, oh vanity
how I do think
you are complete insanity

For all that beauty
is only skin deep
you’ll never have it
very long to keep

It always will fade
over time and years
in the culmination of
a vain person’s fears

What is great beauty
with a heart of stone
when it is yourself
that you love alone?

I would rather have
the love of everyone
than a faded beauty
when my life is done!

She Wants To Feed – Conclusion

When I saw my angel, I felt a warm rush run through me and I reached out my hand to her.  She grasped hold of it and instantly I was out of that hell and enveloped within her light.

She was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen.  When I say her light, it’s not like any light that you would see here on earth.  It shimmered and sparkled like millions of tiny diamonds but at the same time was also pearl like in color, truly it was indescribable but that’s the closest that I can get.

My heart, mind, body and soul seemed to be transfused with it and contained therein was the greatest of love, joy, and peace that I will never again see the likes of until I go back and along with that an understanding of what life is all about.

“This is what you will be giving up if you fall into your old ways again,” she said to me.  “When I return you to your mortal body, you won’t be able to take the wisdom of life back with you but your soul will remember it for a while.  I will still be with you to help you and guide you too, if you will listen!”

“I will, I will, I promise.  Thank you so much for coming to get me!”

“Don’t thank me, I didn’t do it on my own.  I was told that I would be allowed to do it this one time after the Son pleaded your case to the Father.  You need to thank Him and never forget what He has done for you!”

“I won’t!”  I said and the instant that I did, I was back in my body and the hospital. 

I heard someone saying, “He’s back again!  Good job doc’, you saved another one.  What’s that make it today, three?”

“Yeah, something like that I don’t keep count.  Somebody up there must be on this kid’s side ’cause I was about to give it up and mark the time but let’s get him into intensive care for now and pray he doesn’t crash on us again!  I don’t think I could get him back if he did.”

I felt myself being moved onto a gurney and rolled out of the emergency room.  All at once my father and step-mother were there at my side.  My throat hurt from the aspiration tube that had been down it but I manage to croak out, “I’m so sorry for everything, will you both please forgive me?!”

My parents looked at each other with tears streaming down their face and turned their gaze towards me, “I think we’re all gonna do a lot better when you get home, son,” my father sobbed.

“John, I’m sorry for how mean I’ve been to you lately.  Will you forgive me too, please?”  My step-mother’s face said it all, she meant every word of it.

“Yes,” I said as loudly as I could and then silently added, ” thank You, Jesus, for everything too!  I’ll never forget what I’ve learned nor the second chance that You gave me!!  By the way, can You do something to help Bahalize too?  Does she really deserve to be down in hell forever?  I hope You will ’cause she helped me a lot while I was there.”  Then I fell asleep peacefully for the first time ever and I just knew that life would be a whole lot better from now on.

Friday Morning Animal Laughs

Quick somebody get the tape
and don’t let her escape

‘Cause what I want to do
is mail her off to Timbuctoo

 

 

 

You really wanna
lock me out?
I’ll get in
without a doubt

You just wait
when I do
out this window
you’ll go too!

Prayer Requests

All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell.  His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing:  His peace passing all understanding.
