Due to some family health situations I will not be posting until the second week in August; enjoy some of my older posts if you like, God Bless.

"Whistling"

“Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect, and whistle a happy tune, and no one will suspect I’m afraid!” Those words were from a song in a Broadway show many years ago and those words are sung to make the character feel at ease in a bad situation and to fool those around him about his true feelings. There is also a term “whistling passed the grave yard” which is meant to tell the “ghosts and goblins” that when you walk by, you aren’t scared of them; another phrase is “whistling in the wind”, which has the same meaning as the first expression, whistling to dispel fear or dread. False bravado is sometimes used as a safety mechanism in combat to burn off that foreboding of the upcoming confrontation with the enemy, but no matter what one does, eventually you have to face your fears and consequences in almost all situations.

Little boys engage in all types of conflict while growing up; fist fights are common and usually not too damaging at the grade school level. Sometimes conflicts are avoided by excuses like “this is my good suit and I can’t fight now”, or “my mom wants me at home right away”, or “I wasn’t the guy who said that, it was Johnny”; any statement was made to avoid those awful challenges the poor 10 year olds face as they grow into “men”.

America has been watching the growing crisis at the southern border, and America has seen the plethora of excuses that have been flooding from Washington and particularly the Obama White House.

The President refused to make a personal appearance at the affected areas in Texas because he said he wasn’t interested in a “Photo-op”. Anybody who has lived on planet Earth for the last six years knows that there is nothing Barack Hussein Obama likes better than a photo-op. This president acts more like a game show host on the “E” network and spends more time on television than any of his predecessors. The amount of pictures of Barack Obama with celebrities is astounding. Singers, actors and TV personalities are regulars to the entourage of our current president. Barack Obama loves being around the “beautiful people” and has plenty of pictures to prove it. The folks on the left in the entertainment industry love to “hang with the Prez” at every opportunity.

There aren’t too many “celebrities” hanging around the border in Texas right now, nor are there many standing on the highways of California who are blocking those buses full of illegal aliens. Perhaps that is why Barack Hussein Obama hasn’t taken the time to go to those places.

The alternate reason Mr. Obama hasn’t gone to those places is he is just a little “afraid” to walk passed those “graveyards” because his fear would show up with him.

America is UPSET. Mr. Obama doesn’t like to be held to account for his actions and he will find somebody to blame if it is at all possible, but border security is his job, no matter how LOUD HE WHISTLES!

Watching him on the news, you can practically “smell his fear” as he tries to explain away this gigantic confluence of unwanted and illegal entrants to our nation.

Mr. Obama can Whistle as much as he wants to, but the facts are louder than his “tooting”!!

"Guest of Honor?"

Do you like being invited to parties? I like parties very much; there is usually food, drinks, desserts and friendly conversation. They sometimes play music and dance, depending on the type of party it is. Funny stories are pervasive and laughter is everywhere. Family parties are fun because everybody knows everybody and they almost always get along with each other. Most people don’t invite people they don’t like to parties; who wants to see somebody they don’t agree with or get along with at what is supposed to be a fun occasion? You don’t see many Cub fans at a White Sox convention, or Packer fans at a Bears convention. All that would result from those occasions would be name-calling and possible physical confrontations; not too much fun. It would be best to avoid situations where you are subject to any possible confrontations, if that is at all possible.

Politicians are given their offices at the pleasure of the people and are obligated to those who have given them their office. The will of the people is foremost in conducting the business of government. Sometimes an elected official must face the people on issues that are particularly volatile, and that is not usually a pleasant experience.

Over the last few weeks, the continuing problem of illegal immigration has been festering in the public eye, as thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants are converging on our border and being sent to several American communities by the bus load.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, has called upon President Obama to act on this situation, as it has put an undue burden on the people of Texas; thus far, no relief has been sent from Washington.

There are currently 50,000 “unescorted children” who have crossed into America and are now a burden on the citizens of Arizona and other surrounding states, and those taxpayers are expected to “foot the bill” for these unwanted visitors.

A policy now in effect is sending busloads of illegal aliens is meeting with great opposition from members of some American communities, as citizens have blocked the path of the vehicles and tried to prevent those criminal illegal aliens from entering their towns and cities. People have been arrested and violence has taken place because of this ill-advised action by the Obama Administration.

These communities have asked that President Obama come to the site of these protests and the sites of this conflagration of illegal entries; he has chosen not to appear there; so much for answering to the people.

This is odd, because President Obama will be in the area in question and would be able to personally address this situation to the affected communities, but he has chosen to go to a Democrat fund raising event instead of obeying his constitutional obligation to the American people. Mr. Obama’s attitude is arrogant and dismissive of the concerns of American citizens and their legitimate request that their President hear their voices.

There is a “party” going on at America’s southern border and Barack Hussein Obama has been invited to attend; in fact, he may even be the “guest of honor”, yet he is turning down the invitation.

Come on down Mr. President; who knows, you could be the “life of the party”!!
