Dear Ones:
     Once in a while, you come across 'a piece' that puts things into perspective so well that you just HAVE to 'use' it.
     I do pray that my fellow Tea Party Patriots are 'uplifted' by this succinct analysis by 'ArmyAirRecon' Raymond Jennings!
     Thanks for this, Ray!
God Bless You & God Bless America

All this GD manufactured crises dog and pony show and they didn't fix the problem. Smoke and mirrors and pontificating politicians. Bi-Partisan compromise compromised into not doing enough. The standard political fraud perpetrated on the voters again. We have been telling people for at least twenty years when the baby boomer explosion hits entitlements it is going to bankrupt the social security ponzie scheme and it will collapse under it's own weight. We told you if entitlements are not reformed they will eat up the entire GNP. We told you people with no credit and no money will default on their mortgages at the drop of a hat. We told you credit card companies were screwing the public blind. We told you Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Fanny and Freddy were screwing the country for campaign money. We told you the two so called stimulus packages were an out and out fraud. How much did that add to the debt. Oh no, it's two wars and the defense budget.Borrowed money to spend on pork and political favors. Creating jobs? Just words, don't mean nothin'. We told you two hundred years ago when the people find out they can vote themselves "free" money this country will be in one hell of a lot of trouble. We told you Obama is a radical socialist and my fellow American idiot voters didn't listen. We told you the far left is determined to spend this country into a total financial collapse because the hate capitalism. We told you arithmetic is the only pure science. One and one is always two. The accounting balance sheet doesn't lie. When we spend 1/3 more than we take in we go broke. Anybody who has maxed out their credit card and lost their job knows this. Somehow the logic is lost on libs. I told you both parties are run by North-Easter Elite liberals. The Elites screw the conservative new kids EVERY TIME. Watch the last half hour of Brave Heart, that's them. And I told you when liberals are loosing the argument the resort to name calling and insults. So the T-Party are terrorists now? The T-Party are average Americans who are fed up to the stack swivel with Washington. The Elites in both Parties insulting the T-Party is some new way to get votes. Morons!! O'Reilly and Krauthammer are them. We get the government we vote for. The people have voted to screw themselves. It's Bush's fault? BS! It's all their fault. EVERY President since Reagan has worse than the last. Reagan made mistakes, but nothing like this current crop. We finally hit the intellectual bottom of the barrel. For years the Democrat Party has been the wolf in sheep's clothing. The people were fooled by the wolf. In their colossal arrogance the Democrats dropped the sheep's clothing and showed everybody exactly who they are. Well the wolf is at the door and is fooling nobody any more. Politicians in both parties jumping out of windows in 2012. Can't get here soon enough. All the intellectually bankrupt libs have left is insults and name calling. 2012 will be the dirtiest most vicious political campaign in recent history. The wolf is backed into an indefensible corner. Watch Democrats run as T-Party. Lies for the votes."

"An Apology From Jesus Garcia For Lying About His Military Service" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

From the 'Greenwich PATCH': Jesus Garcia

Here is the original Greenwich Patch article leading to Jesus Garcia's apology here:
LINK: http://stamford.patch.com/articles/police-greenwich-man-posed-as-wounded-vet

courtesy www.free-animations.co.uk

 "Hi im jesus garcia I know what I did was wrong and I deserve for what I did but honestly I did it because I felt I was finally someone special...my fiance is pregnant and I needed help just so I can get her what she needs I thank u for at least saying you''re going to pray for me cause I really need god in my life right now..im not mentally ill or nothing but think about it ppl would do anything to help there selves out....i cant stop thinking about what I did especially lieing like this u know..the only thing I got left is god and my fiance in my life...i can try and figure something out to pay these ppl back I promise that but that's not the prob ..the problem is me showing my self up and ppl hating me but I know god is with me...i will be joining the arm forces in guatemala if these charges don't get me in trouble... I have faith that I will get out of this prob and will keep moving on...if theres anyway u can spread around my appology that would be great....as again im sorry to all..Jesus Garcia"

 Dear Jesus: 

      I appreciate the fact that you sent this apology for publication, and I publish it here with the understanding that I am one of those who has no stomach for anyone who poses as a warrior when they are not. 

     'Stolen valor/Impersonation' is a loser's game and is shameful, which I'm sure you understand in your heart by now. 

     Those who risk life and limb everyday for us in the United States of America...and those who actually sacrifice their very lives for us...are the ones to whom your apology should be directed--to them and to their families and friends, in fact. 

     We read,  "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13 (KJV) 

     If YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN GOD, Jesus, you will be strengthened by your 'namesake', our brother Christ, and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE for you. 

     You will have the strength to 'man up' to your wrong-doing.

     You will have the strength to face your accusers, to apologize (this is a good start here) and you will have the strength and ability to convince one and all that you will never, EVER attempt anything like what you've done again! 

     Between God, your fiancee and your baby, you are surely blessed.  You already ARE someone special, Jesus...you just don't know it yet!

     You and your fiancee must earnestly pray together, and I will join you as I've promised, doing so as we remember what the Lord tells us: 

"¹⁹ “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”   Matthew 18:19-20  (NIV) 

     Frankly after reading your letter, I find it hard to believe that you would 'be proud' for your child to know that his or her Daddy did bad things in the sorry excuse of 'supporting his family'. 

     YES, life is difficult and YES life is unfair. But many others have trials and somehow manage to survive, so why can you not do the same?

     You are only 20 years old, dear Jesus, and that is still young enough for some to 'want to give you a second chance' and let you continue on with your life as a much better person--a 'new and improved' version of you! 

     But you must make amends first and on top of whatever the court orders.  I suggest that instead of fleeing the country, you 'suck it up' and redirect your life here. 

     I would suggest that you get gainfully employed. Then VOLUNTEER to help out at a local veteran's hospital outpost, get involved in a group that helps military service members families or volunteer with the American Red Cross. 

     Contact your local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), DAV (Disabled American Veterans) or American Legion for information on how you can 'give back' and make restitution in a moral sense, after you have fulfilled whatever is required of you legally. 

     Perhaps your court appointed attorney can assist you with these things. Perhaps the law enforcement officials you have interacted with would also be willing to suggest some useful activities you can perform in the 'public service' sector. 

     True Christians know that they are duty-bound to forgive their brothers and sisters in Christ. Others may not be inclined to do so, but with time and prayer, perhaps they, too, will forgive your youthful transgressions. 

     I've been accused of being 'too forgiving' at times, but I will always choose to give someone 'the benefit of the doubt' unless and until things prove I oughtn't to.

     Are we not to forgive 'not seven times, but SEVENTY times'? 

"The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant: ²¹ Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”  ²² Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."   Matthew 18:21-22  (NIV) 

     Restoration of 'trust' takes longer, but, with time, that can be rebuilt, too. 

     And so I say, God Bless you , Jesus Garcia and your fiancee and your precious baby to come. 

     May the Lord Bless thee and keep thee...and may He shine His Face upon thee, today and always.

God Bless Us All & GOD BLESS AMERICA
