Let my people go . . .

Where is Moses when you need him? The reason I'm asking? Ever since FDR and the "New Deal" the American people have been surrendering to captivity. You think that statement is extreme? Well it's kind of like to the story of the frog in a pot of cold water:

The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually. According to contemporary biologists the premise of the story is not literally true; an actual frog submerged and gradually heated will jump out. However, a variety of 19th century research experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true, provided the heating is gradual enough.

Americans have slowly but surely been allowing our Constitutional Rights to be eroded to the point that we don't even remember what those rights are any longer. It's a crying shame and I say to each of you that read my blog or stumble upon my blog, "Let my people go!"

We are tired of the tax burden, we are tired of other countries telling us what "we" need to do to satisfy their own needs. I for one have struggled with "isolation" but I wonder if we could turn back the hands of time, if that might have been a better path for our Country to take?

Today, I was at a clients and we turned on the TV and I saw Mexican President Felipe Calderon sharing his views with OUR Congress on his opinions of US Federal Immigration Law and his opinions of Arizona's State Immigration Law and I've got one question for you, how did he get that gig?



I was so infuriated when Hugo Chavez addressed the United Nations some months back, lambasting the United States, it took me a couple of weeks to cool my head over his negative opinions and it's time to wake up people. When someone condemns the United States and her laws, her actions, they are condemning each and every one of you. We are collectively the United States of America.

It's time to stand up and collectively say, "Let my people go!" We are not going to support a government who continues to infringe on our Rights and enslave us to world leaders who want to dictate to United States citizens what we should and should not do. Watch the video attached, pause the video if you need to, observe the politicians who applauded and gave the standing ovation to Mexico's President and remember them the next time they are up for election.

As for President Calderon, what are you doing in your own Country to stop the violence on your own soil, what are you doing to create jobs in your own Country so that your own people do not want to flood our borders looking for a better life endangering our border agents?

The backs of the American people are about to break and when the last straw that breaks the camels back falls, I stand with proud American Patriots, we will take our Nation back, we will be free!

As for the ban on assault rifles, I have one thing to say, we will not give them up and there is a reason they call them "assault" rifles! VN8

I'm just saying . . .

there's an uncanny resemblance!

For your enjoyment!

(I couldn't pass this up for love or money! Busier than a one arm paper hanger, but I'll beeeeee baaacccckkkk! VN8)

What you do matters!

Baruch Hashem Adonai בושאהמשהוהי --Blessed be the name of the Lord. Today is a Day of Remembrance for those who died in the Holocaust. Genocide is still occurring--Rwanda, Bosnia, Armenia, abortion...if we don't remember history repeats itself over and over again. Remember why Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East. (or use to be). Pray for the peace of Jerusalem as scriptures exhort.

National Days of Remembrance, April 11 - 18, 2010

(Borrowed this from a Facebook friend. I'm going to be on a little hiatus, but I'll be back in a few. Thanks for stopping by, I think of you all often. "Life is a highway and I feel like I'm on the Autobahn!" VN8

Happy Easter!

Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

In Remembrance of Easter . . .He's ALIVE!

Please watch this til the end and tell me how you responded, I was covered in goose bumps.

The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And rose at every sound
Half in hope of sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through
To drag us all away

And just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers' feet

But there was no one there but Mary
So I went down to let her in
John stood there beside me
As she told me where she'd been
She said they've moved Him in the night
And none of us know where
The stone's been rolled away
And now His body isn't there

We both ran towards the garden
Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
Was more than I could tell

Oh something strange had happened there
Just what I did not know
John believed a miracle
But I just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation
Couldn't lift me very high
'Cause I'd seen them crucify Him
Then I saw Him die

Back inside the house again
The guilt and anguish came
Everything I'd promised Him
Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices
I denied I knew His name
And even if He was alive
It wouldn't be the same

But suddenly the air was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove shadows from the room
And Jesus stood before me
With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees
And I just clung to Him and cried

Then He raised me to my feet
And as I looked into His eyes
The love was shining out from Him
Like sunlight from the skies
Guilt in my confusion
Disappeared in sweet release
And every fear I ever had
Just melted into peace

He's alive yes He's alive
Yes He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive yes He's alive
Oh He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive
Hallelujah He's alive
He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive He's alive
I believe it He's alive
Sweet Jesus

Doctor tells Obama supporters: Go elsewhere for health care

A Mount Dora doctor posted a sign telling Obama health care supporters to go elsewhere.



By Stephen Hudak, Orlando Sentinel

April 2, 2010

MOUNT DORA — A doctor who considers the national health-care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."

"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."

Estella Chatman, 67, of Eustis, whose daughter snapped a photo of the typewritten sign, sent the picture to U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, the Orlando Democrat who riled Republicans last year when he characterized the GOP's idea of health care as, "If you get sick, America … Die quickly."

Chatman said she heard about the sign from a friend referred to Cassell after his physician recently died. She said her friend did not want to speak to a reporter but was dismayed by Cassell's sign.

"He's going to find another doctor," she said.

Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.

Allen said doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil-rights law. By insisting he does not quiz his patients about their politics and has not turned away patients based on their vote, the doctor is "trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said.

"But this is pushing the limit," he said.

Cassell, who has practiced medicine in GOP-dominated Lake County since 1988, said he doesn't quiz his patients about their politics, but he also won't hide his disdain for the bill Obama signed and the lawmakers who passed it.

In his waiting room, Cassell also has provided his patients with photocopies of a health-care timeline produced by Republican leaders that outlines "major provisions" in the health-care package. The doctor put a sign above the stack of copies that reads: "This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it."

Cassell, whose lawyer wife, Leslie Campione, has declared herself a Republican candidate for Lake County commissioner, said three patients have complained, but most have been "overwhelmingly supportive" of his position.

"They know it's not good for them," he said.

Cassell, who previously served as chief of surgery at Florida Hospital Waterman in Tavares, said a patient's politics would not affect his care for them, although he said he would prefer not to treat people who support the president.

"I can at least make a point," he said.

The notice on Cassell's office door could cause some patients to question his judgment or fret about the care they might receive if they don't share his political views, Allen said. He said doctors are wise to avoid public expressions that can affect the physician-patient relationship.

Erin VanSickle, spokeswoman for the Florida Medical Association, would not comment specifically.

But she noted in an e-mail to the Sentinel that "physicians are extended the same rights to free speech as every other citizen in the United States."

The outspoken Grayson described Cassell's sign as "ridiculous."

"I'm disgusted," he said. "Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, ‘Do no good.' If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. … Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"

(Yeah he said it and he's entitled to his opinion, but if the POTUS has his way about it, this doctor will probably be reprimanded! We can only pray that more doctors follow suit and let their voices be heard! VN8)
