In the New
Testament, Jesus stated the two most important laws for mankind to follow are:
love God with your whole self and; love your neighbor as yourself.
All that is required for a charitable people is for the individuals to follow
those last two laws. We don't need a government to direct what we as
individuals should choose to do as a course of our own individual guidance
systems.

A
RESPONSE 2: TIME TO RESPOND (arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com) After months of trying not to drive myself, my friends, my family,
around the bend with all the things and subjects the can push me over the
edge....there are too many things cluttering up my mind so here I am
again. Right off the top I can list a few subjects that act as a
motivator for my ire.
·
The continuation of the
2016 Presidential hate Trump agenda;
·
The promotion of
Socialistic tenants throughout our educational system;
·
Party politics instead
of the legislative branch doing what their oath of office requires, working to
achieve what our country needs;
·
The erosion of ethics
and morality in our society; and on and on and on adinfinitum*
·
More than enough subjects not mentioned that
will make my yadayadyada continue for years to
come.
WHAT ARE WE
ALLOWING TO HAPPEN? Sunday, September 29, 2019
A RESPONSE 2: WHAT ARE WE ALLOWING TO
HAPPEN? (arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com) If I remember my civics education there was something about
the oath of office as it pertained to the members of congress, the presidency,
as well as many positions of states and cities "to protect and to obey the
laws of the United States of America. Recently that part of the oath is
antiquated as far as our borders are concerned, and as far as our constitution
is concerned. The Press is no longer a reporter of facts. Our history is
being rewritten and we are being sociologically reprogrammed by educators and
the entertainment industry.
Abraham Lincoln: America will never be destroyed from
the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we
destroyed ourselves. Nakita Khrushchev: "We will take
America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. we will
destroy you from within."

How sadly today must be viewed by all those
souls whose blood was spent for the ideals of our country. Thousands of those who believed in standing up for
a great society and fighting to give the rights of freedom to others around the
world. How could they condone the fiasco and hypocrisy
that is being played out in our body politic when the cause of good is spent on
the theatrics of political gamesmanship? How is it that the practice of falsehoods, inuendo
and word-twists has put us in the position of moving backwards in time towards
those other times that we pitted brother against brother.
VIRTUE SIGNALING EQUALS A BULLY! How far we have come in the last
fifty years or so. I remember some seventy years ago that it was so important to be able to help your neighbor when he needed help. I remember how
important it was to treasure honesty, respect, hard work, your parents, your
family as a whole. I remember being taught in grade (elementary) school to
respect your teachers, your country and your country’s flag, I remember being
taught that it was wrong to steal, to damage someone else’s property. Rather than being ruled by the rule of
law, we are watching a decline to a rule by mob, perceived moral justice, and a
muzzle on thought. We are no longer allowed to think outside the box of
“political correctness” and “virtue signaling”. Even though those screaming in
the streets decry the acts of physical and psychological bullying, in schools
and social media, they condone showing off their superior virtue by bullying
everyone they disagree with.

Just a thought...... If
the "Silent Majority" is aware of the term "spiritual
warfare", and that the spiritual is often acted out in the physical
world.... WHY ARE WE STILL SILENT?
We stand
quiet while the truth is being drowned out by the shouts of a few. We are at a time in our national existence
that the resolve of our people is being tested. A time that will
determine our future, once again as a country and as a society. We
have been here before in our history. We
would be well advised yo use history as guidance into our future. Political correctness has infected every part of
our society and seeped into the very heart of our educational system, our body
politic and by those, we should be able to trust for accurate information, the
news media.
The effectiveness of
divide and conquer tactics utilized by our enemies is now proven as we watch
the streets of our great cities being over-run and victimized. We
are not born fearful of other humans, we are not born with a heart and mind of
hatred. Our enemies know that a
house divided can not stand

happen with our silence!I consider myself to be one of the large
silent majority that shows up when it’s time to vote but makes sure no-one can
know what they really think. We are now reaping the costs of our
silence over the last six decades. We have allowed our country to be
infiltrated, allowed our educational system to deteriorate, have allowed our
children to be indoctrinated, allowed our country’s internal history to be
twisted and contorted. The bible tells us “You reap what you
sow” but if you don’t sow anything you will be overrun with
weeds. Our silence has led to the current state of anarchy and we
have allowed our crop and our children to be transformed from the crop we
wanted to field upon field of poison ivy.

citizens, the theft of our future, and the children’s minds that will inherit

RESPONSE 2: LOGICAL PROGRESSION (arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com)
One of my favorite go-to books is As a Man Thinketh written by James Allen. His book proposes that we are what we think, just
another example of cause and effect. If we take that a little bit further, our society
is a result of a mass of thought. It is up to each of us as individuals to
understand what result our individual belief systems will contribute to society. Our individual
responsibility is to be the gatekeeper of what comes into our minds. The process of “garbage in garbage out” pertains to our minds just as much as to
computer programming, and there is plenty of garbage to go around. We all have our favorite sources of thought food,
often without even understanding the truth that went into our minds diet.
The effect on adults is monumental but even more horrendous
is the effect on future members, our children. Those future members of our society are sponges to
what is being fed into their minds. They are taught what to think, what to believe,
how to act or react to those they come in contact with. They are not equipped with veracity filters that
would allow them to discard false knowledge. They are primed and ready for indoctrination.
LOOKING AHEAD
FUTURE
HEADLINE: Two Texas law enforcement offers escaped assassination when
911 dispatched social worker and anger management professional to handle a
domestic dispute situation. Luckily no police personnel were harmed when the
homeowner unleashed a barrage of gunshots as the social workers approached the
door. Thankfully only the social worker and the anger management professional
were killed in this engagement.
We are watching an
interesting social experiment play out right on our TV screens our phones and
our computers. We get to watch what happens when millions of people quietly
seethe and do nothing to stop the madness. We get to see first hand how a few
people with loud voices can frighten a much larger group into submission. We can
watch as the few take over our municipal, state, and federal bureaucracies
without one shot being fired. Whoops that last statement wasn’t quite accurate.

August 2, 2020 CAUSE AND EFFECT
A
RESPONSE 2: CAUSE AND EFFECT (arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com) We
are in the middle of a war for the hearts and minds of the American people:
a war for the physical health of population, a war on the basic freedoms
and opportunities that benefited our society for the last 235 years.
We are seeing the effects of the sociological attacks on
our basic ideologies by partisan politics and anti-American factions from
within and outside of our country. There are power-seekers who have
promoted division within our population by creating tension between races,
creeds, and politics. History has
shown our country to be, “One nation under God”, united in cause and effort
during difficult times. We were born as a nation in strife and have been
on both sides of right and wrong. In one respect, we have remained
steadfast in our quest for a better society.
in today’s divisive political culture. The
prospect of working together to find solutions seems to have reached an
uncrossable chasm. We are trapped in the, seemingly unending political
quest for power. The professional politics, through ideological
propaganda and persuasion, which bombards us show little respect for
truth. It is no accident that we are at each other's throats
on so many different topics. How does it happen and how is it believed that
“Black Lives Matter” is a correct sentiment when at the same time targets are
on the backs of law enforcement personnel? Wrongfully causing the death
of any fellow human being is to be viewed as a criminal event regardless of
race, color, or creed. Like it or not, we all possess the same DNA base
as one another.
Rather than being ruled by the rule of law, we are we are
watching a decline to a rule by mob, perceived moral justice, and a muzzle on
thought. We are no longer allowed to think outside the box of
“political correctness” and “virtue signaling”. The art of protest has been infiltrated by those
who profit on the discord they can create within our society.

9, 2020 A LONG, LONG TIME AGO
Once more I am being nudged by the relevancy
of the oldest book. The application of the story given to us in the
first book of the Old Testament. Most of us, in the persuasion of
Judeo-Christian beliefs, regard the bible as the word of God the creator and as
such has meaning for mankind. As one of the believers I regard man
as being more than just flesh and blood, that he was created by God in His
image. That image is one of mind, body and spirit.
Satan was created before man and that being was the first
example of what we now regard as hubris. Satan tried to establish his own rule over
creation and since that time warfare has been waged for the souls of man. I do believe that, since the Garden of Eden times,
the ownership of mans spiritual being has been the goal of Satan. Satan gave birth to the act of manipulation, by
using partial truths mixed with lies, to grasp mankind’s greed to separate
mankind from the Creator. That spiritual battle has continued throughout the
millennium of our existence. Our country exists as a result of blood spent to
give us the freedom of deciding our own futures, seeking our own fortunes and
making our dreams reality. We may not all achieve our highest but at least we
have the freedom to grab at the golden ring
Sunday,
August 16, 2020 IRONY, OUR HOUSE OF
MIRRORS
IRONY:a state of affairs or an
event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing
as a result. The irony of today is in no way amusing
It seems that we are living in a world comprised of circus
mirrors, a world where nothing is what we have hoped for and aspired to be.
It’s as if our country and our way of life, once looked upon much as one would
view a lush green landscape is suddenly recognized as ravaged by a slow
insidious iceberg of hatred, mistrust, and greed. Those who would see our country, our great
experiment of freedoms and opportunity destroyed in the name of control and
power, have been allowed to exist much the same as the iceberg or the volcano. We “the people” have chosen our leaders, (not
all), because of what they have sold us, what they may give us rather than what
they do for “the people” and the good of the country. We have allowed our good dog to be tethered and our bad dog
to roam freely, how ironic that our good intentioned freedom of speech
has allowed the tyranny of socialism and communism to infect our body. Sadly, that is just a symptom, not the cause or
the weakness that has allowed that to occur.
We have allowed a societal shift in values to creep through
our population. It’s ironic that our desire to allow, anyone person, the
freedom to be anything, anyway, anytime, anyplace has created so many more
cracks and divisions. Our desire to be loving, caring, charitable toward
all people, we have allowed that to happen with all good intentions not
necessarily with wisdom, prudence or in most cases logic. Centuries of history have shown so many bad
actors, literature and the arts have depicted villain after villain, adage has
told us so many times “a leopard cannot change its spots” we have however seen
snakes shed skin and acquire a new look. The Democratic party has shouted their own
praises for representing the little guy by battling the big bad rich guy, for
trying to raise the minimum wage, by spending more on education, and most
recently for sanctuary cities and releasing those who have broken laws. The really big one is their defense of abortion
which has cost the lives of more under-privileged and minority lives than any
other program in our history. Democrat support of the teacher’s unions in lieu
of school choice has been one of the major causes of poor educational provision
in those communities. Finally, they have decided that defunding law
enforcement is a good thing. Really?

One of our political party factions strives to
portray the Elephant group as being uncaring, unsympathetic and its members as
being incapable of empathy. The Donkey group seems to extrapolate the
Elephants immersion in reason and logic with a focus on actual results as being
an indication of this cold-hearted beast. It’s the basic nature of irony to be humorous
but when it comes to political purpose and result, it just isn’t the least bit
funny. One of our political party factions strives to
portray the Elephant group as being uncaring, unsympathetic and its members as
being incapable of empathy.
The Donkey group seems to extrapolate the Elephants
immersion in reason and logic with a focus on actual results as being an
indication of this cold-hearted beast. The ironical part of this situation, from my
viewpoint, is that the Elephant’s hard love approach and the Donkey’s buy the
vote system, of promising the moon, places our country’s election season in
jeopardy.
It is ironic that the system designed to give power to the
people, freedom of speech has been allowed to deteriorate the safeguards our
political guard dog, the free press, was expected to provide. The power of manipulation and propagandist
influence has been infecting our educational and media “mind meals” for far too
long. It is the time to bring back factual truth,
country before party politic and the realization that our choices have decade
long results.
Free is easy to sell,
hard to provide, and often has unexpected results. Some of the Donkey’s wish
list items. Are included in this article

You might not like his tweets (President
Trumps’) His hair, his exaggerations,
his egotism, or you may believe what you see and hear from his detractors,
BUT.. Our president gets things done. This list was provided by someone other
than me me me. Quite long but is worth reading prior to November. Bear in mind
POTUS did not have to plagiarize this list.
This
list will amaze you
we have fully immersed our people into a psychotic
world of split personality disorders. One planet made to give the
impression of two completely different, mirrored, piles of rock in the middle
of our galaxy. Two years ago, almost to the day, my blog was
addressing the same sentiment as today’s blog entry, “We miss the why because we always want to blame the other guy in lieu of
seeing all sides of the matter, including our part (as in all contests) our
side. Denial of history has one absolute result - it
will repeat itself. The principle speakers of this cleansing, blaming
extravaganza, would have the Trump Presidency reaching back through time.
The distress of history is being bent, twisted, turned and changed by rhetoric
designed to mitigate the actual failures of the past. Believe it or not… Trump was not involved in:
The slowest economic recovery, and the longest since the great depression of
the 1920’s; the loss of manufacturing base and the jobs that were lost during
the Obama regime; the strangling, job costing regulatory over-reach of
government; the belief that our national GDP would never again reach over the
.2.5% mark and would be our new norm; the Benghazi fiasco; the mass influx of
illegal border crossing into our country; the loss of medical coverage for
millions of people; the high cost of fuel that increased cost of goods across
our country; the mistake of calling ISIS a junior faction and allowing the
growth of their Caliphate

Here
we go again. It’s time to stand up and be counted. It’s time to decide what’s really best for me, for you and
for our children and their children. Like it or not we have a responsibility to do this based in
fact and truth. Like it or not we need to vote not for someone, but for the
resulting impact of purpose.
In
our country today we are experiencing the results of herd thought, mob
mentality in some, cowardice, greed and apathy in others. Some of us have taken refuge in the title of the
“silent majority” and in our silence, we have given approval to what-ever
happens. Our silence is a condemnation of what we have
allowed to take place in our country. Some of us have even chosen not to vote at all,
some choose not to vote for someone we feel is not a good enough person to vote for. It’s time to vote for what we want to see happen and against
what we don’t want to see happen.
We
need to have an honest look at what has happened to our country, to our large
cities, to the increase in crime. The why, what and who of that is important. We need to take an in-depth look at our body
politic and how it has served our people in the last fifty or so years. It’s time that we put a limit on the term of influence any one individual can have on
their influence on the direction of our country.

A RESPONSE 2: BEHIND THE
MASK (arbeeresponds2.blogspot.com https://www.facebook.com/MyownLogic ot.com)
One Of the first things I learned in my
college psych class: the face we show others, the who we want them to see is
our persona and it is kinda like a gilded Lilly or in truth speak
its misrepresentation. The persona of a political party is much the same except
it consists of a whole bunch of contributing prevaricators
Here are some ideas
that were put into practice in the last fifty or sixty years and these are just
the few that my ol’ mind is able to recall.
· Let’s make it easier
for people to own homes: lower the credit history requirements for home loans,
let’s make the loans with an adjustable rate and longer term.
· Let’s make college
and university educations available to more people by offering loans to pay for
the education.
· Let’s stop keeping
folks with diminished mental capacity and those with chemical imbalances in
those wretched asylums.
· Let’s show the world
that we are a nation of kinder, gentler warriors that will allow our enemies to
fire upon our military first and only then will we fire back.
· Let’s provide those
addicted to drugs with drugs and the freedom to self-medicate.
· Let’s show our
enemies that we trust them to hold true to treaties if we pay them enough.
· If we treat our
enemies and our friends “nice” they will in turn be nice to us.
· If we open our
borders, we are showing the world that we really, really, care about other
people.
· If
we make regulations to protect our environment, reduce carbon-based fuels,
raise taxes on businesses, collect from the rich and give to the poor we are
better people. Those are just a few
of the things that come easily to mind. We should have learned that moderation
is a better rule than shut your eyes and believe your persona’s
mirror. The examples of the unexpected results are scattered across
our landscape and across our history. The majority of these
misplaced intentions have actually harmed the folks that were the targets of
them.
· The housing bubble, the ruination of
individual credit, cost our population billions of dollars in loss of our
national output because the banks loaned money to people who did not have the
sufficient means to pay the debt.
· The education loan program buried many of our
students economically for years after their graduation, the costs charged by
the universities and colleges took advantage of the large increase in dollars
available to make their own bank accounts larger.
· The dislodging of the mentally ill filled city
streets with people who needed the help that was no longer available.
This has cost, many of our larger metropolitan areas, the loss of business and
revenue.
· The limitations and rules of engagement which
hand-cuffed our military in the middle-east conflicts prevented our warriors in
prosecuting the war. This caused the expense of blood and treasure
to continue for many years longer than needed.
· Preventing guns has prevented safety in our
schools, our places of worship and is even now hindering our basic rule of law.
· The current defunding of law enforcement,
sanctuary cities has escalated violence across our nation, cost our taxpayers
millions and assisted mob assaults on both large and small family business’s.
We all need to look past the proposals of well intentioned,
misled and misguided politicians and those who are in it just to win
it. As long as we allow ourselves to vote for promised potential we
will forever be enslaved to our greed. Our country, our people, were
once driven by the potential of achievement. We were motivated not
just by riches but we were pushed by curiosity, by inventiveness, and by our
quest to become better. Today we have allowed ourselves to be
motivated by anger, distrust, and the feelings brought on by a constant barrage
of discontent as a weapon of political choice. We need to look at
what our politicians are actually doing for us, what they are producing in
actual positive result. It’s not about how nice we feel, how much we
will get for free or how much of what we get will be paid for by someone else,
it is about our society’s future existence. It’s not about how we
appear to others, not about our mask, not about what we hide. It is
about what we will leave as fact.

STORY OF DOING BECAUSE WE CARE

TRUMPS NO HEALTHCARE PROGRAM
Trump
is not the Senate, Trump is not the cause of the failure of the ACA, it is not
Trumps fault that so many in our country are losing their coverage do to their
inability to afford the payments or the deductibles required. Regarding the
present offering of the Senate...
Pre-existing
conditions are not being removed from the program being offered. The fact that our people are being miss-informed in an effort to
continue what is failing us just on a political basis, on so many fronts is
plain criminal.
While constantly being harassed by Russia
blather, (proven hoax) President Trump has facilitated and passed numerous
health-care-related bills and improvements
see below
BLACK LIVES MATTER… Great bumper sticker, great blame game rally
cry, great for finger pointing, but not valid as a weapon. As a
society glued to our media sources, we are being led to the sacrificial alters
of color and wealth discrepancy baiters. I am in total agreement that Black Lives Matter but there is
more to it than just being a biased trigger that further separates us from one
another.
We have all sorts
of wealth hoarders in our country that kneel, before the alter mentioned above,
as esteemed members of our professional sports heroes, our political government
members, our media and entertainment guru’s that look at every opportunity to
appear better morally than the rest of us. Granted a number of the top 5% of the wealth
owners in our country are very generous toward all of humanity, but how many
focus on the discrepancies in our own society? How many of them are really trying to improve the
conditions that they blame other folks for causing. The current blame
name-calling on our society white privilege and systemic racism rank
#1 and #2 as the cause for lack of employment opportunity; poor access to good
education; homelessness; little or no access to home residence; low income;
unfair law enforcement practices; unequal racial incarcerations, etc.. Probably
some truth in that view point but perhaps the finger is being pointed in the
wrong direction. It seems that most of this will take money
to correct, some take congressional action and some need the local governments
to do their job. None of the solutions are really affected by race
but by inaction.
Political
decisions in the past have been to merely throw money at the causes of the
fear, the causes of the lack of schooling, opportunity and jobs go unattended. Jobs will not be readily available in the
neighborhoods that children help provide food by being in gang families. People will be afraid of gangs and those who dress
and act like gang members. Jobs will not be available as an escape as long as
those children of a good high school education. Rather than promote the
feelings of fear regarding law enforcement you might try some of the above ways
of using your wealth to create opportunities. A large portion of the systematic racism that
affects our society is a result of fear of the unknown response we are prone to
expect. When some of us interpret our world through color,
the word some is translated as all.
