Rednecks or PC Neighbors: What is your preference?

Everyone is up in arms over Rednecks & Southern folks displaying the Confederate flag. Now think about this for a moment. Lynyrd Sknyrd used a rebel or confederate flag as their logo for over forty years & no one cared or took notice. Your average redneck or southern good old boys say what they think, the wave their flags, they love this country, they love their mama, they love their pickup trucks & they go to church on Sunday. These same confederate flag waiving folks are God fearing, patriots who if they see something suspicious will tell everyone they know & withing 15 minutes it will be all over the small towns they live in.

The neighbor in San Bernadino who was more concerned with being PC or politically correct, more concerned with being labeled a bigot or racist remained silent but observed. Liberalism is the majority in California, where the toughest gun laws in the country did not prevent Syed Farook & Tashfeen Malik from murdering 14 people & wound 22 others. The murdered & wounded were of various ethnicities, both men & women. The terrorist couple did not see race they saw Americans, they hated the American way of life & our freedoms; which they took advantage of at every opportunity.

The redneck or southern good old boy & their family may drive a pickup truck with a bumper sticker that says "Lynyrd Skynyrd", they may wear ball caps with American flags on them, they may fly a confederate flag from their front yard flagpole or from their clothesline. The same fore mentioned redneck/ southern good old boy will let someone know, if their neighbor is having people going in & out of their garage late nights, after receiving several packages carried by Middle Eastern looking men. The same redneck/ southern good old boy & his family have a beer & tell everyone at the local "Dew Drop Inn" lounge what his neighbor is doing. Rednecks are never silent they make a lot of noise & for the reasons I mentioned before, you would rather have a redneck good old southern boy & his family living next door to you than a liberal PC anti gun individual.

The redneck may go to Walmart in his flannel pj pants along with the entire good old boy family, they may talk too loud, sing Amazing grace too loud, they may salute every military officer they see & salute the American flag even when the flag is on TV at a ball game; but this redneck southern good old boy, confederate flag waiving, weekend hunting, Budweiser drinking, pickup truck driving man & his family of like minded folks will never remain silent & put themselves, their families, their neighbors or America in harms way when they see suspicious activity that looks like it might remotely be attached to terrorism.

So you tell me would you rather have a southern redneck wearing a confederate flag T-shirt listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama" in his pickup truck & his family living next door to you or a PC individual driving a Prius who wears a T-shirt saying "Go Green", who will remain silent while viewing suspicious activities for years? It's your choice to follow the PC police who have the country divided concentrating on Confederate flags rather than vetting those entering our country, who would rather incite riots rather than letting justice take it's course, they would rather demonize police officers & tout climate change as our biggest threat to the world; than to actually verbalize that ISIS & all terrorist groups with like minded ideology are the biggest threat to the world.

When it comes to reality you must put things into perspective. The folks waving confederate flags, the folks with Black Lives matter banners, the folks with Pro Life banners, the folks with nativity scenes on their front lawns, the folks saying "Merry Christmas" are not the enemy, they are not the biggest threat to the United States of America. The biggest threat to the United States of America is allowing Liberal Progressive PC folks who want to tell us all what to say, to redefine words, to tell us all what to eat, or how offensive we are or that just by simply breathing & exhaling that we are harming the planet with Co2, those people who will allow terrorism to flourish under their guise of political correctness are the very ones who will stand by & watch as a Muslim radical, his Muslim radical wife, their Muslim radical relatives make pipe bombs, strap bombs to remote controlled cars, speak anti American rhetoric, while calling turning a blind eye. POTUS Barack Obama will allow 200,000 refugees into America not knowing whether or not they want to wage Jihad against American citizens. Even if 1% only want to commit Jihad are you okay with 2,000 radical terrorists entering America?

The United States of America should remain united in the fight against terrorism, against the PC speech that refuses to acknowledge the reality before us. We should remain vigilant in demanding that no one enters the United States of America without properly checking them out or vetting them. If you can not do this for whatever reason then do not let them in or you run the very real risk of having another Syed Farook & Tashfeen Malik committing mass murders in the name of Jihad.

You might want to reevaluate your perspective on Confederate flags, Black Lives matter banners, Pro life signs, safe zone areas for colleges that avoid true freedom of speech. A reality check for America has been long over due. This holiday season I will wish you a "MERRY CHRISTMAS, Happy Hanukkah & Seasons Greetings! May you look at what is going on in the United States of America as an American issue rather than a racial divide. God bless & stay safe out there.

Fake Passports or Words, which are more Dangerous?

December 12, 2015                                                                    written by: Lisa Morgan

 Teenagers have been faking drivers licenses for over 40 years, so how damn hard do you think it would be for Syrians or Muslims or ISIS to fake passports to get into the US to kill Americans? Come on geniuses? The Obama administration must have rocks for brains! Tashfeen Malik the murderess who along with her husband Syed Farook Murdered 14 in San Bernadino, she was questioned 5 times before being vetted. Five times! Vetted! Apparently the PC definition of "Vetting" is a salutation as in "Welcome"!

Syed Farook worked with the School System doing Health Inspections & on that fateful day when he & his Muslim wife stormed into a Christmas party of Syed's co workers and mowed them down, do you think his co workers thought he would execute them? Do you think they had even so much as an inkling that he has been planning his Jihad since 2012? Imagine looking at a co- worker day in & day out for 3 years not knowing that in their mind, in their heart they are plotting & planning your demise & the demise of all those in your workplace or at a party, a Christmas party. Let's go one further, since we now know Syed Farook & Tashfeen Malik intended to go to the local high school & kill even more, but the police thwarted their plans by killing them, thus saving no telling how many people's lives.

Are you okay with idea of someone like Syed Farook inspecting a cafeteria in your child's school? After all what could happen? Syed Farook was a practicing devout Muslim whose mosque has been investiagated & Homeland Security had Syed on their radar & yet they were not acting upon knowledge, after all no one wants to offend. A whistle-blower former Homeland Security employee had followed the web of underground Islamic radicalism for 6 years when he was told the investigation was to be halted, as they did not want to offend Muslims. Now where have we heard that recently, that someone did not say anything for fear of sounding offensive? The neighbor of Syed Farook is much like the Dept of Homeland Security in that neither wants to offend Muslims & both could have saved innocent lives if it weren't for PC, in essence words...words.

So here we are with Canada accepting over 45,000 Syrians fake passports in no doubt many of their hands, Obama wanting to have over 200,000 in America before the next presidential election, yet we have no way to "vet" them, unless you consider the PC term of "vetting" as a salutation such as "Welcome". Consider for a moment if even 1% of the 200,000 Obama wants to have America accept, even if 1% are like Syed & Tashfeen then 2,000 Islamic murders could potentially be unleashed upon Americans. How could you tell what is in their minds? You could actually read the Quran & find out what they have been studying. You could possibly have a wake up call from that or you could just worry about offending Muslims while they kill Christians, Jews, Hindus or Buddists.

The Mass Exodus of Syrians mingled with Afghans, Turkish, Iraqis, Iranians across Europe is an invasion. There is no other way to describe 600,000-800,000 people forcibly entering a country. How many soldiers invaded Europe during either World War? You don't think this is an invasion, a mass exodus of global proportions? You better think again! How many of them will lie in wait with evil in their hearts? Just ask the victims of the Paris attacks or the Swedish women being raped ot the San Bernadino victims. All of this within 3 weeks. Although the Swedish have had an increase in rapes by 97% since the Muslims invaded their country, but maybe it was not due to the Muslims maybe it was coincidence. The last time I checked throughout history when thousands, hundreds of thousands of people swarmed into a country, raping, killing & making demands it was called an invasion. The leftist, progressives & socialist leading the various countries today have mentally dumbed down the world's population to believe that 800,000 people marching into a countryare just refugees seeking asylum, most of whom are widows & orphans; even though predominately every picture we see is of able bodied younger men. History will show this as a time of incoherent unresponsive brain activity, better known as the "Brain Dead Years".

At what point do we as Americans take a stand & say "No More" to this regime of the Obama administration? Our President has himself had moments of Freudian slips when he has said "he ruled" , but a president in America he does not rule, he serves & that is a huge distinction. Are you willing to put your safety, the safety of your family, you friends, your co workers in the hands of the Federal government, who are too afraid of offended Muslims to properly vet Syrian refugees? After all in the same week Obama told Americans to speak up & say something if we see something, Loretta Lynch the US Attorney General said she would be prosecuting those who speak hate speech against Muslims, she said this inside a mosque. Did she tell Christians, Jews, Buddists, Hindus, Scientologists, Atheists or Tree Hugging Flower Children that they would be protected from Hate Speech ? Remember Hate Speech is actually just words, but nonetheless when Al Sharpton speaks hate speech to incite violence in Baltimore it's just words. Who is the judge of what is hate speech? Where does the barometer land on the gauge of hate speech?

Just for the record, make no mistake about this one fact, the Constitution & the Bill of Rights pertain ONLY to American Citizens & NOT to illegals, refugees or anyone else in the world....period! It is not a bigoted or racist idea to put a temporary Ban on anyone entering America. It is in fact an ignorant, reckless thing to allow anyone in America until we have a proper thorough set of procedures by which to vet them. While I'm on the topic let's save the term "vet" for the "veterans" who have fought for All Americans to have freedom.

We as Americans must stop this PC discourse & have real adult conversations with those holding political office in this country, to demand that they enforce the laws of this great nation to protect us all. We have allowed the Obama administration to redefine words & call it political correctness, to change Osama Bin Laden's name to Usama Bin Laden because Osama was too close to Obama. Do you see how ridiculous & childish this is? We have allowed Obama to skirt his responsibilities that he took an oath to protect & defend the Constitution & America from all enemies both foreign & domestic. He has been derelict in bypassing Congress, in negotiating to let 5 top Islamic generals released from Gitmo, in exchange for a deserter. Has this President even managed to say ISIS? No! Has he managed to say Radical Islamic terrorists? No! So how do you think he can have a clear & concise plan of action to defeat them if he is not brave enough to say the words. Now we come back to the topic of words again. words Obama will not utter & yet words that if we utter as Americans we could be prosecuted for as Hate Speech. The last time I checked this was still America. Look around does this look like the America you knew 25, 20 or 10 years ago? Wake Up America!

PC has died & calling BS has begun after Jihad hit San Bernadino!

12/3/2015                                                                   written by: Lisa Morgan

Climate Change according to POTUS Obama is a worse threat than ISIS or radical Islamist terrorism or radical Muslims. One day after the San Bernadino mass shootings what does Obama now say? I'm sure his narrative & that of the left wing establishment of progressives will be workplace violence. My problem with this is....(rolling out a list that looks to be a mile long)...for starters this mass killing was conveniently targeted at a soft target where there would be a group of people without guns on the premises. Secondary the fact that the couple Farook & Malik had been making bombs & going directly from an Al Qaeda playbook to make bombs attached to remote controlled cars throws out the workplace violence theory. The neighbor had seen people going in & out of the garage late at night for weeks after several packages were arriving. The neighbor was afraid of the PC police labeling her a racist or bigot therefore she did not alert the authorities as she thought to do.
Hold it right there! The PC or political correctness was the driving force in a person not contacting the authorities with suspicious activities by a neighbor. I'll "play" the IDIOT Liberal for a moment aka devils advocate. The known killers Farook & Malik could have been secret Santas making toys in their garage, ordering parts from Amazon to build remote control cars that they would give to small children, take to a holiday Christmas party or bring to a neighborhood block party for a group of families with small children to play with, even possibly they were making remote control devices, toys for the refugees coming into America. We all know that the widows & orphans that POTUS Obama wants to bring into America would need toys & remote control devices to occupy their time while attempting to adjust from their Muslim culture to American life...right?!
Screeeeech.....stop the play acting right now! All of those thinking this is a dress rehearsal for life please reengage your brains. Real people lost their lives yesterday on Dec. 2, 2015, after Farook & Malik two Muslims that were Radical Muslims murdered 14 innocent people & wounded 17 others of whom at least 2 are critically wounded at this time. Farook & Malik took advantage of a holiday party/meeting to begin their rampage but it was not intended to end there as the cache of bombs, bomb making materials & arsenal of weapons & ammunition indicated. Enough with the PC morons who have set agendas to keep Americans dazed & confused, as they want us to believe they are seeking to make America a utopia with out guns, violence from hateful speech, without people offending anyone by stating race, religion, gender or salary. No these leftist progressives who guise themselves as Democrats or democratic socialists want to fundamentally remake America. Obama said it repeatedly as did his sidekicks Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi , Harry Reid & the list goes on.
Obama is the one who gave timelines on retreating in the middle east, moved into areas to destabilize them then pulling out, who stood by while Assad mass murdered his own people, while Christians were beheaded, children were beheaded, hung from trees & POTUS Obama did nothing. The Muslims have mass migrated or marched across Europe with intentions of taking over not integrating into society there. Rapes, murders are up over 100% & upwards by Muslims against Europeans in order to strike fear. The Muslim influx that has overwhelmed Europe is headed for America, make no mistake about that fact either. POTUS Obama has not defended the constitution nor protected Americans but he has destabilized the middle east, watched as the Muslim refugees left in a mass exodus to predominately Christian countries where they have committed thousands of crimes against the citizens of those European countries. Exactly how has Obama protected us by not closing our borders, by deporting Christians so sought asylum & importing Muslims who despise Christians & Westerners? What has POTUS Obama done to make this country safer from terrorist, as the POTUS & many Democrats push for illegals to get amnesty, have no ID's to vote, as illegals are given free health care, overloading our educational systems that seek to appease & embrace the Muslim faith but demonize Christian faith? America was founded on Judeo/ Christian values which are evident in our constitution & all around us Not on Muslim principles. We have the 2nd amendment to protect American citizens by allowing them to bear arms to protect themselves from the obvious threat of terrorism otherwise we become hostages like European countries like France where citizens can not bear arms & the public at large are sitting ducks for terrorist who seek to mow down human lives like clearing wheat fields. Make no mistake the Christians, Hindus & Buddists are Not committing acts of terrorism! It is the Muslims who are waging Jihad on the world & yes they hate westerners & Americans.
We as American citizens must stand up for our country for our way of life even if our President & many of those in political power holding office will not. We must speak out, vote out the liberals, demand that our President listen to American Citizens, I said Americans citizens not illegals. We need to forget PC & wake up from this nightmare of liberal progressive that seeks to choke the life out of freedom, liberty & happiness in America. We as Americans must not allow the leftists to continue to divide us along racial lines, to keep the divisive speech & throwing of race cards in our faces, as they seek to brainwash us into believing that all cops want to do is murder blacks, that all Muslims are good people that Christians and conservatives are radical, that words offending are worse than climate change & climate changing of the seasons is worse than radical Islam or ISIS or ISIL or whatever you choose to call murderous Muslims. I do not think the naturally occurring four seasons are beheading people, mass killing people with assault rifles, driving bomb laden vehicles into shopping areas around the world. No radical Muslims are doing those things, those are facts!
The POTUS probably will tell us next that climate change is our worst enemy facing us, thus seasonal change brings fashion changes & fashion is our enemy therefore we must all dress alike as good little socialists, we must wear Hillary Clinton pant suits or Michelle Obama sheath dresses. We would give up our individuality for the government to even the playing field. You wouldn't want that in a sports field for the football teams to pick & choose players in the football game to even the playing field? No that would be absurd but somehow saying everyone must give more money to the government for them to give away as they see fit to those not working is somehow acceptable. I call BS! this is all BS & Americans must stop the PC madness & not be afraid to call BS! I personally have declared this is where PC died & the era of calling BS has begun!
My prayers go out to all the families affected by yesterdays senseless acts of terrorism & to all those who lives have been affected by terrorism. My hope during this holiday season is that people would ope their eyes & ears to seeing the truth & to calling out the liars in our government who have protected Muslims, illegals over protecting American citizens.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Happy Holidaze & PC be damned! God Bless America!

Go to the back of the line, Obama's Syrian Refugees come First!

by Lisa Morgan                                                                                           November 17, 2015

Go to the back of the line all of you who have waited to become American citizens, Obama's Syrian Refugees comes first. Although many of the dubbed Syrian refugees are Afghani. This info comes from the UN that many Syrian Refugees that came into the EU were also Afghani men. Why are Afghani men among so called refugees flooding the EU or on board to come to America? Have all or part or any of the people been screened. It's unlikely since their own countries do not have records on them.

I want to pose a question to those who agree with legal citizenship & I assume most of us do, although I might be wrong. What about those who have waited in line patiently, paying their money being vetted, taking health exams doing everything asked of them & yet they wait behind illegals flooding across our borders & behind refugees Obama approves un-vetted. How exactly is this fair? Well the world obviously is not fair, but what about those folks with no criminal records & the ability to support themselves versus those thrust upon taxpayers?

The victims of the Paris attacks by terrorists were oblivious to the possibility of a terror attack, until they were attacked. Say No to Syrian Refugees in America or face the possibility of more attacks like these. God forbid! You see even the left leaning Geraldo Rivera changed his stance on the refugees, after his daughter Simone was in the sports arena when the Paris attacks took place. Suicide belts found at the arena, so when this hit too close to his own front door he reevaluated the situation, as most parents would do. I've always said that when something knocks at your door & it brings evil to your doorstep that is when most will open their previously blind eyes. It's sad but true. Look at your child, your spouse, your parent & realize that the Paris attacks happened to someone just like you or your loved one with no ties to radicalism. They just happened to be misfortune enough to be living their lives without fear until evil came to them.

What happened to the America that welcomed the tired, poor & huddled masses? I was asked this question by a friend on Facebook living in Germany. What happened was amped up crime by illegals, citizens being murdered, raped, robbed with a deluge of illegals of all nationalities crossing our unsecured borders. All this happening continually after attacks on America on 9/11 & Boston Bombings by Muslims yes Muslims. You can call them radical Muslims or call them radical Islamist & yes Mr. President I went there & I said radical Islamists, this is what happened along with many hundreds of thwarted attempts to kill American citizens.

Ask the families' victims or those living victims with limbs blown off from the Boston bombings or those families thousands of them after 9/11 about how America changed & their personal lives changed after these attacks on US soil.  Ask our city mayors or state governors who are  overwhelmed by an influx of refugees by Obama & illegals crossing our borders killing border patrol & ranchers. Tax payers picking up the bill. These illegals & refugees are working at a lower wage & jobs go to them instead of citizens. What about those waiting legally to come here the legal way & these refugees mostly 18-45 yr old men jumping in front of them, along with the illegals crossing the borders. Is it right for those seeking to come here legally to be having to wait longer, when non vetted refugees & illegals by the millions are flooding our country? These illegals, overstayed visa holders aka illegals many of whom are Muslims demand Sharia law, they demand their rights even though they are not legal citizens. The illegals or refugees demand drivers licenses, the right to vote, healthcare, welfare checks and they are not & I repeat are not legal American citizens. They demand? Yes my friends this is a small sliver of the iceberg of the newly rebuilt America Obama sought to construct & don't even get me started on Global warming aka climate change. You have No idea what is going on here if you do not live here. Hell half of the people who live in America are walking around with Bluetooth devices, iPads, smart phones but they are the most ill informed people on the planet.

Those who wish to use social media or surf the internet for the latest news on Kim Kardashian's ever expanding derriere, which Real Housewives' husband is cheating on her or what ridiculous statement Jamie Foxx or Quentin Tarrantino spouted about for free advertisement for an upcoming movie, they will find their dish of trash for the day & likely call it news. While the rest of America with functioning brains seek out actual information on the world around us especially in our on country. How with an infinite source of information available to the average person can anyone not seek out a topic using many sources? How can people blindly walk lock step with socialist liberal agenda when Bernie Sanders declares climate change is more of a threat to America than radical Islam & Hillary Clinton along with President Obama will refuse to use the words radical Islam is the same sentence. Obama did call gun toting, bible clinging, truck driving Americans radical. Funny how those Obama called radicals most of which he referred to are Southern or Midwestern country folks who are among the first to join the armed forces to protect this great nation of America, but Mr. Obama will never acknowledge that fact.

I digressed in my rant but back on the topic of talking to victims & those waiting to be legalized citizens. I say to you to talk to the families who have lost loved ones from crime due to illegals or the Boston Bombing or 9/11; then do research about the topic & not just left leaning liberal BS put out by Obama supporting liberals in our media. The stats recently showed that 93% in our media categorize themselves as liberals, so are we getting unbiased news coverage? Did you see the GOP debates ran by liberal moderators? Did you then see the debate by the Fox moderators? Even many Democrats & liberals agreed the debates with the liberals was biased with ridiculous questions. This is what is going on in America. No it's not your America of 1776 or 1986 it's a whole new ballgame. In the last 23 years this country has been on a downward slope quickly falling of the edge & the kids that have grown up during this time are out of control. Look at Missouri, Yale, Dartmouth, Berkley colleges to name a few. Google it! See how the students said F*ck Paris, which is outrageous!!!! This is the newly rebuilt Obama/Hillary America! It's a more progressive America that is progressively going down the toilet, while the conservatives, independents and some old school Democrats hang on for dear life to the rim of the bowl hoping the Tidy bowl man will come clean up the mess. We Americans with common sense who are proudly politically incorrect wait on a new President to clean up the mess of former Presidents dating back to Bill Clinton.  We are not naive enough to think that we will return back to the America of our fathers & grandfathers overnight although we keep the faith for our children & grandchildren to one day get a glimpse of the America we knew growing up.

My Facebook friend who vehemently disagrees with me has her viewpoints which I respect but a view of America from Germany or anywhere in the world but in America is not the best spectator seat, just as sitting in America is not the best place to give insight on France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Spain or Greece with their own surge of refugees. Geraldo Rivera found out first hand what it means to listen to your child calling from another continent with sheer terror in her voice, to vocalize what was happening at the sports arena in Paris, on that now infamous Friday 13, 2015. When his daughter Simone broke down after her father Geraldo asked in his gentle fatherly voice, "Honey do you want to come home?" & she replied in a crackled almost child like voice "Yes!" Immediately my heart sank to the floor. I had already had my heart fall to my stomach, as I watched in horror as the events were unfolding in Paris online, as well as on the media news coverage. Evil had come once again knocking at the Parisian door.

Yes we can not stop all evil or all hate, but we can preemptively put in place procedures & policies to protect our loved ones, our citizens & our innocents. I obviously am very upset by this as many are & my only objective is to get people to inform themselves with information. Be realistic not Utopian. If this evil that attacked us on 9/11, Boston bombings or Paris attacks last Friday or the Charlie Hebdo or the France subway stabbings recently were to hit your doorstep then it's too late; that's all I'm saying. Be realistic about what is happening. We can not vet these refugees. The Boston bombers were vetted so well. Tell their victims families how well the vetting was for them. Are we willing to take the chance on another radical willing to murder Americans? Ask Kate Steinle's family? Enough said. Hug your loved one, kiss your child & be vigilant by being informed. I pray America wises up & God's grace is upon us. I welcome legal citizens who cherish our values, who want to be productive members of American society, just not the backdoor illegals or Obama refugees. Is it in the best interest of America & American citizens to accept refugees from Syria or anywhere in the middle east at this point in time? I say No it is not!

I had a Farmhouse in America (spoken in Meryl Streep's voice)...A Funny farm!

I'm seriously considering purchasing a farmhouse. I thought I'd never move again. "Never say never for that is exactly what you will do" is my mother's motto and yes my mother is once again correct, as always. I am on a quest to find the perfect or imperfect farmhouse to acquire before I retire. Hmmmm.... kind of catchy don't you think? I will be blogging throughout the process which I'm sure there will have many ups and downs, as all home buying experiences usually possess. Oddly enough I feel like I'm coming home in my soul and yes I suppose I am coming back home. Who said you can never go back home? Oh yes that would have been my dearly departed Dad many, many moons ago when I was in my early twenties.

Actually a farmhouse anywhere in the south would suit me. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South or North Carolina maybe Florida or Louisiana. Texas is not out of the running. The idea of having acreage with fruit trees, a garden, a view, a flowing creek appeals to the down to earth side of me. Getting back to my country girl roots is something that I would not have envisioned a decade ago. My how things change! It reminds me of what my mama has always said, "Be careful what you say you won't do, for it's exactly what you will end up doing, if you're not careful." Funny how God's plans for our lives will supersede our plotted out distorted version of paradise. Sometimes that dirt road looks mighty appealing especially when walking another step on pavement seem impractical.

I've always wanted to give my homestead a name. A name that reflects who my husband & I are so I think the farmhouse will be christened "Solitude". My husband's name is Sol, so the name Solitude would announce to the world that "Sol" & "Tude" reside here.

What about a barn? I could sit in the loft of the barn after a day of working in the garden & I could chronicle the events of the day from sunrise to sunset. Can't you just see me doing an old school version of reality TV, where you read what is happening with the occasional snapshot, to give you the visual. There would be no list of all the meals or snacks ingested because in reality who cares!? The chronicles would be about the ups & downs of farm life. The moments of laughter, intensity or excitement when the garden or fruit tress spring forth their bounty from the earth. Yes moments of gratitude, harmony mingled with dirty jeans & un-manicured nails & salon free days. I'm up for the challenge! Let the games begin.....that sounds like I'm an Olympiad, which is absurd. Let the best of the rest of my life begin!

I can see myself sipping tea from the back porch of the elusive back porch, target shooting at a series of tin cans lined up across the property as my hubby picks up the cans & re-positions them on top of old wooden wine barrels. He would ask me if I'd like a refill of tea & what my dinner menu consisted of as he walks through the screen door to start the laundry. The dogs are all holding their dinner bowls while the cats are sleeping on the porch swing. The catfish are jumping, old paddle wheels pumping and something is off. Did my hubby just refill my tea glass & ask me what I wanted for dinner as he went to do laundry? Wait I must have dozed off for a moment! Well a girl can dream can't she? Call that moment reality checked!

The quest to find my farmhouse in America has begun. I sit here typing gazing out my office window watching the blue jays chasing squirrels around the trees. The dragonflies are zipping to & fro while the butterflies are fluttering as butterflies do. My cats are stalking the elusive dragonflies. The dogs are basking lazily in the afternoon sun ignoring the curious squirrels scampering around the trees. The birds have spotted the seeds I tossed out for them. I love the way nature knows exactly what it is to be doing, while humanity seems somehow stumped by our need to control life & everything around us. Humanity wants to "fix" what God has created or to "enhance" God's creations. We fail miserably, create chaos & call ourselves successful masters of the universe, as if we are playing some gigantic video game in a virtual world. I think that the birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, butterflies, bees & butterflies have more sense than most humans. Maybe what I need to do is get back to nature, learn to relax, put my hands in the dirt, kick off my shoes & tune out the noise. God provides for all of his creations. I have faith that it will all turn out the way that it should.
My foot has fallen asleep which is code for me to leave this desk chair to venture outside. I hear a glass of green tea calling my name.

I'm quite sure there will be a book written about this journey. Maybe I'll call it "Down on the Funny Farm"? You can purchase my last book Get Beach Slapped online at bookstores & ebook sites or go to my webpage for links.

Life is More Precious than Diamonds

 10/16/2015                                                                               written by: Lisa Morgan


Life is multifaceted like a diamond, but Life is more precious than any gemstone. Life is fragile like a dandelion and yet we are careless with it. When you smile or laugh…pause & let that moment sink into your memory. Life is good. Life is not always easy nor should it be. If life were always perfect, rosy, sunny & fair then how would we appreciate it, not having been down, troubled, without or in need? When you are troubled be glad that tomorrow will be better & you now have the knowledge you need to appreciate the good times just over the horizon. We all have bad moments, remember to make the most of those moments that shine brighter than any diamond.

Shiny baubles & glittering apparel are just body adornment but the true way to shine is through laughter & smiles which result in soul shine. Just like the song by sung by the Allman Brothers band says,"soul shine is better than moonshine, better than sunshine, damn sure better than rain." Though I may occasionally adorn myself with a little glitter trust me none of it is more valuable than laughter with friends or family.

I have a good friend who is the type of friend everyone should have. Michelle would rather have flowers in her hair than diamonds around her neck. Friends who see the beauty in life, appreciate God's creations & take you at face value, rather than valuing the materialistic possessions in life
are priceless.

Anyone who laughs, smiles & glows with joy from within is very rich indeed, for no amount of wealth can make you happy & give you soul shine. I wonder if the banks accept soul shine?

#AllLivesMatter or Do They? You can't have it both ways unless you're a Democratic Socialist!

Oct 16, 2015                                                                                        written by: Lisa Morgan

It was quite appalling to say the very least that the #Dems at the Democratic debate could not bring themselves to say #AllLivesMatter, instead they pandered for votes vocalizing one by one #BackLivesMatter. The Democratic party has become even too left for most of the lefties & not far enough for the socialists who taught them as Progressives, which I'm sure even the left wing insurance owned Progressive company would be offended by being lumped into the same name game as Democratic Socialists. Yes Democrats or maybe just Bernie Sanders, has found a way to PC about socialism; let's call it Democratic Socialism & it will sound more acceptable & American.
Think again Mr. Socialism or Democratic Socialist!

Does anyone wonder why socialists are the most anti-social people around? Well it could have something to do with them wanting to put their hand into your wallet & donate or redistribute your hard earned money to someone else who spends their days on the couch watching reality TV, instead of joining reality & working for a damn living. Socialism has worked so well for communist China, just ask the Chinese; oh right you can't because most of them do not have access to the internet or cell phones because of socialism/communism. You see if you are far too quick to place your hand in someone's pocket then you are either
A: reaching for their wallet/money or B: you are wanting to play pocket pool, which I'm sure the later would be fine with Bill Clinton but you better not touch his millions made from giving speeches while Hillary was Secretary of State. Hillary is fine as are most Progressives & Socialist with giving away Your Money, just Not Their Money! Have you ever noticed Socialist countries do not have a dictator who has his wealth distributed, no the Dictator is always far wealthier than the average Joe or Jill, unlike Joe or Jill Biden who would have you believe they are one of you. That's a typical political maneuver politicians flaunt to attempt to convince you that they are a n average Joe or Jill working paycheck to paycheck as many Americans are these days. Don't tell me you are still astonished by the fact that dictators run socialists & communist countries! Do you think Putin has redistributed his wealth? Give your brain a rest.

When Putin looks more like a Capitalist than anyone on the Democratic ticket for President of the United States, then Houston we have a problem! When #Hillary calls for Capitalism to be reigned in; it's time to get a history lesson. When was the last time you read the constitution or the Bill of Rights? Do you know the founding principles of this country & what made this country great?

Freedom is what this country was founded upon & Capitalism is what allowed anyone, regardless of social status, to build a better life for themselves & their families. Do not let the Progressives/Socialists of the New Democratic Party deceive you with their rhetoric about this country, be informed. Look at other countries where a woman can not leave home without a scarf covering her head or face & Hillary Clinton along with Carly Fiorina are both successfully in the race to potentially become the first female president of the United States of America. Hillary bashes America & Fiorina touts the excellence of American freedoms & capitalism at it's finest. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see Washington is in dire need an infusion of Common Sense & Not dollars & cents; they have taken enough tax payer dollars to as Obama said "fundamentally rebuild America". Okay Mr. President where is the your progress report is an "F" for Failure! You have managed to divide the country as much as the 1960's if not more, raise unemployment to levels equal to the 1920's, convince some people that police officers are terrorist while systematically refusing to call Islamic radicals terrorists. The President has led the march to defend criminals & vilify police officers as he honors thugs, radicals & criminals by attending their funerals, requesting their presence at the White House, all the while he snubs police officers gunned down while on duty or off at the hands of thugs. Mr. President why didn't you attend the funerals of slain Black, White, Hispanic or Asian police officers but you attended the funeral of Michael Brown.

Apparently it takes a brain surgeon to balance a budget in Washington & thank God we have one running for the Presidency in 2016, Dr. Ben Carson. We also have a bizarre love hate relationship with a billionaire reality TV star who is seeking the office & maybe you have heard of him...Donald Trump. Let's get this straight we have a card carrying socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union & his name is Bernie Sanders. Mr. Sanders appears to be an angry revolutionary from the 60's who is caught in a time warp who just happens to resemble the mad scientist from the movie "Back to the Future". He should have gone to live in Venezuela next door to Chavez after he returned from his honeymoon.We have the former First Lady, Ex Secretary of State, who might get indicted for her private email server lest we forget her flippant attitude over her cope-ability in the Benghazi deaths of 4  Americans on 9/11 & she also declared she is in favor of socialism. Do not confuse Hillary with her husband former President Bill Clinton, she only uses the Clinton name when it serves to surge her poll numbers, otherwise she is simply Hillary, she is a woman of her own making. Those are the two on the far left Dem side & the other three were a snore fest, so onward to those on the right side the Republicans. Well this is beginning to sound like a screenplay for a lampoon movie rather than a list of Presidential candidates, just keep reading.

We have the two top tier front runners, neither of which are career politicians, one is a retired neurosurgeon & one is a widely successfully businessman. I previously mentioned Mr. Ben Carson & Mr. Donald Trump or The Donald, who share the long list of presidential candidate's list with former CEO Carly Fiorina, Senator Marco Rubio, Governor Jindal, Senator Cruz, former Governor Huckabee, Senator Rand Paul, Senator Santorum,  former Governor Bush not to be confused with his brother or his dad, both former Presidents, so he goes by Jeb, like Cher but far less energized according to Mr. Trump. The list just goes on & on. You must conceded this list is impressive & entertaining at the same time. This list of Republicans is far more varied than the Democratic selections & these people actually make sense. They actually answer questions versus the Democrats who skirt question with silence followed by being inconspicuously absent.
Why should it even be a matter of discussion to say #AllLivesMatter? The straight forward in your face truth is #AllLivesMatter period. No amount politically correct BS will change that fact. As we know most, but not all Dems are #prochoice & not #prolife. You see to truly say All Lives Matter, then you must agree to be Pro Life, right!? No sidestepping political flip flopping needed on this? Either Planned Parenthood selling aborted fetal parts is appalling or it isn't?! Either you agree All Lives Matter or you just pick & choose. If you pick & choose what lives matter & what lives are dispensable, while you have wine over a dinner conversation pertaining to planned abortion, then aren't you somewhat like a terrorist who seeks out to destroy the lives that are deemed by the terrorist to be dispensable? What did I offend some of you reading this? Good, maybe you should be offended but not by me by a political climate that thinks Globally Warming or their new buzz words of "Climate Change" or more of a threat to America that radical terrorist. Maybe you should be offended by the Dems going as far left as to stand at a Democratic debate declaring they are socialists! Maybe just maybe you should be offended that you are so easily offended & you do not have the backbone to take back your country from Socialists who have been parading as Democrats.

Bernie Sanders wants to raise the tax rates to 90% leaving you with only a whopping 10% of your paycheck, while he redistributes your money to those less fortunate. Hillary Clinton wants to Give Free Tuition to All illegal immigrants, meaning Anyone who can make it here to America & walk across the border or those Obama has brought in on plane, train or buses at American expense (Yes it has happened, look it up); gets Free College Education. Alas all of us poor saps who were born in America who can not afford to go to college without working two jobs & spending 15 years after college in debt to pay for it, no we won't be "Entitled" to Free Tuition, only the Illegals get that Freebie from the Dems. How many of you want to present the Federal Government with your bill or your children's bill for college & say "Pay This!?" I thought so! If illegals are going to be given Free Tuition but American citizens aren't entitled to Free Tuition but instead we are entitled to pay the bill for the illegals' free tuition, then aren't we as American citizens being discriminated against? I call BS on this because it definitely smells very foul. All Americans should be offended by by this waste of tax dollars & by the discrimination against American citizens of all races.
Where do you think Tax payer Dollars come from...the government...duh?! Wrong! The tax payer dollars come from tax payers meaning you! Yes you every time you pay sales tax, tax on anything such as property taxes, income taxes etc. Now when you see that your money is being squandered Not just some money you thought that the government printed each time they needed to pay a bill; are you really so quick to dismiss the Spending of this Democratic administration led by President Obama, as just an unbalanced budget? Are you willing to say All Lives Matter, except those of the Ambassador to Libya & 3 other brave Americans? Why don't their lives matter? They do just ask their family & friends. Are you willing to say All Lives Matter except those of unborn fetuses; fetuses that we know have functioning brains when they are aborted? Mr. Obama wants No term limit on abortions & No medical care for them when they are born breathing at 5, 6, 7, 8 months, remember no term limits.

Are you willing to say All Lives Matter, but turn a blind eye to police officers risking their lives to keep you safe from crime? Do All Lives Matter to you or do only #BlackLivesMatter? If you say only #BlackLivesMatter as the Dems did in the debate stage, then you must concede that black on black crime is by far the largest proponent in the equation. Obama does Not yell from the White House steps that Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, LA & many inner cities should stop the gang violence, stop the black on black genocide. No instead our President Mr. Obama seeks to further divide this country through whatever means necessary, race, job, religion with no qualms. Joe Biden smirks as he & President Obama look down upon America with disdain for all our forefathers endured, fought for & achieved to make America the Greatest country on the face of the planet Earth.

Do not believe me read about this for yourself. Seek out various news outlets, posts by bloggers, just get yourself informed. Know about the backgrounds of the candidates, hold them accountable for their words & actions. Think to yourself if you or your child had committed the action or said what the people have said & done, then would your feet be held to the fire? Would society hold you or your family member accountable for a crime or a loss of life? The IRS officials holding the highest offices in the IRS broke laws, should they be held accountable? The IRS would have No qualms about holding any of us accountable? Just ask Wesley Snipes, Willie Nelson or any of the other hundreds of thousands of people who have been harassed by the IRS.

It's time we as Americans hold Washington accountable! It's time we hold those wanting to hold the highest office in the land accountable. Ask Mr. Obama to be accountable for his unbalanced budgets & frivolous spending of our tax dollars. It's time we as Americans say enough is enough & we take back our rights as Americans. Americans act like Americans, have a backbone like your forefathers. If you have ever served in the military,  had a family member who served or knew someone who served in the military, they have backbone. Grow a spine & stand up for yourself, stand up for America & say No More to the Progressives & the Socialist! America has protected us & we are Now going to Protect America!
God Bless this Great Nation of America! Maybe I should run for the office of the President of the United States? I knew I'd have you laughing by the time this rant was over! Wise up America, do not let politicians fool you with rhetoric.

A society is judged on how they treated each other, how they treated their poor, elderly, children (including the unborn) & their weak, but also on how weak they were in judgements, both in & out of the courtroom or the voting booth. You see your actions have consequences & all of our actions consequently will write our history.

Thank you for taking your time to read this rant,
Lisa Morgan
