On big reason NATO was formed, was to fight against Communism rising again. The horrors of Communism shocked the world.  Many wondered how on earth we did not see what was happening behind those walls.  At the time everyone thought it was a good idea to support the masses in an effort to improve everything from job creation, to our future, by empowering the youth to rise up.   By the time we realized what tyranny had evolved, millions were slaughtered in the name of Communism.  

Our forefathers unified against it, many paying that ultimate price that should never be taken lightly, and NATO evolved from this plight.  Our Grandparents and Great-grandparents vowed never to be fooled into thinking it was no less than the rise of power hungry dictators using the evil of genocide to further their agenda.  All of it hidden by a Guy Fawke mask professing community ‘for the people’ who believed greed is cured by execution of the success of hardworking individuals.  

It scares me that thousands of young people in Chicago have no idea how they are being organized for the very same agenda.  We should recognize it, know it, and teach our children the truth.  It is sad that most protesters have no idea what NATO stands for, and if it is any different than say… the dysfunctional United Nations organization.

Russia HATES NATO. Surprised?

NATO stands firmly against the slavery of Communism and joins together allies committed to free sovereign nations and worldwide peace.  This group of countries form an alliance to protect us from the tyranny of another communist takeover, and vow to protect each other.  NATO can work toward combating statewide terrorism from infecting the world, but only if we recognize those attacking them are plain and simply Communists trying to raise their ugly head again.

The history of NATO:

The original twelve members of NATO in 1949 were the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

In 1952, Greece and Turkey joined. West Germany was admitted in 1955 and in 1982 Spain became the sixteenth member.

On March 12, 1999, three new countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland – brought the total number of NATO members to 19.

On April 2, 2004, seven new countries joined the alliance. These countries are Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

The two newest countries that joined as NATO members on April 1, 2009 are Albania and Croatia.

The communists have tried to break up these alliances and retaliate against the formation of NATO. In 1955 the Communist countries banded together to form the now-defunct Warsaw Pact, which originally consisted of the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, and Romania. The Warsaw Pact ended in 1991, with the fall of Communism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Most notably, Russia remains a non-member of NATO.

Life is hard sometimes.  Sometimes we make life harder.  The political climate today does not help.  I have been all over the spectrum with my reaction to it.  From outraged to indifferent and every place in between.  But I am a real person with real feelings and a real family.  It is easy to get wrapped up in knots with every news story coming out today.  It is often hard to find balance.  Sometimes life forces us to find balance.

I just got home from the hospital with my daughter.  She has a couple of medical conditions, but she had a pretty severe pneumonia.  So life has thrown some road blocks that are making me reflect on a lot of things.  The politics are no less important, but how I tackle them is going to be different I think.  At least for now.  There are things I can change and things I cannot, but when the rubber meets the road, family comes first.

Politicaljules is still here.  Just a more reflective jewel now.

Friday news dumps are back.

“as people get too complacent, they need to be reminded all is not well in the world”

U.S. stocks post worst day of the year

By Kate Gibson, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks made their biggest drop of the year Friday, quitting five weeks of gains for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, on worries that efforts to keep Greece from defaulting were falling apart.

This is huge Friday news dump.

Spain wants to be a Right-to-Work nation.  Socialist nations should look to Spain as a petri dish of what needs to be done to save themselves from economic destruction. Spain is the ONLY country looking at the horror of Greece and trying to stop their country from falling into the same fate. “International Monetary Fund have all called for changes to laws that allowed labor costs to rise as much as 5.8 percent in 2009 even as unemployment surged. New rules are the only way to improve productivity as the nation can no longer devalue its currency, Bank of Spain Governor Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez said on June 21.”

Spanish Government Cuts Firing Costs, Changes Labor Rules

February 11, 2012, 8:50 AM EST

Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) — Spain’s government cut firing costs, changed wage-bargaining laws and decided that jobless people on benefits will have to offer community service in an overhaul of labor rules aimed at tackling the 23 percent unemployment rate.

I am excited that Rick is coming to Texas.  Santorum is not my 1st choice for the primary, but it is still important to consider going to Plano to support Santorum if you can support him.  Why?

Well, Santorum will likely be Mitt’s running mate.

It would behoove Romney to go that route if he cares about boosting his image with the public. It will happen because Romney wants to win, and he will do what it takes to get it done. Mitt is smart enough to figure this out on his own. (I do not think McCain wanted to win, but I digress.)

Santorum can soften the blow when Mitt runs to the left side of the fence.  After Romney wins the Primary, Mitt will cater to the left throughout the election.  However, Mitt does it because he knows, with Santorum in the picture, people will be comfortable enough with a few misgivings because Santorum will somehow step in if he goes too far.

Because of his conservative core, Santorum will also bring in the Teaparty vote MUCH more than any leader out there.

Romney WONT make the mistake of running a woman as his running mate.  He knows there is no way a black person would be his vp running mate either because the left will NEVER let that happen.

As sexist/racist as that sounds, it IS reality.  The left KNOWS how to completely destroy a conservative woman with lies and corrupt sums of money.  However, we have seen with Newt’s survival that the hard left progressives have a hard time taking down a strong conservative male.

The only sad thing about the liberals destroying our choices, is that the progressive left have done it with a viciousness I could not even imagine in my wildest dreams!  It has happen too up close and personal for my taste.

It literally sickens me that the left are so VERY good at destroying a candidate’s chances.  The left do not care if that is the best person to make a difference to help our nation.  The left will take them out simply based on the color of their skin and/or gender, and they don’t give a damn who knows it.  That makes them very dangerous to the future of our country.  The left cannot have a conservative republican party showing them up to their minority base, and anything will be used to make sure it does not happen.

Unless we change the game…

Long story short I would like to be in Plano next week to support a good Candidate even if he is not my first choice.  I hope all yall will meet me there as well.

It is extreamly important if one wants to make obama a one term president.
