SENATOR ROB PORTMAN-GAY MARRIAGE

SENATOR ROB PORTMAN-GAY MARRIAGE

   The latest news that the state media has run with is that Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman has come out in favor of gay marriage.  His son has admitted that he is homosexual, thus, Senator Portman has decided to turn away from supporting traditional marriage.  I wonder what other core truths he has decided to turn away from.
   Let's travel on my "way back machine, Sherman", and tell you of an experience of mine years ago:  It was early in the 80's.  My supervisor, let's call him "Joe", had learned that his son had AIDS, he was a homosexual.  Joe refused to talk with his son as he battled the imminently fatal disease.  When the young man died, Joe refused to attend the funeral.  I couldn't understand Joe's harsh reaction to this situation. 
   As the years went by and I was raising my children, I confirmed with them regularly that I was their mother and they would always be my children.  I would try very hard to give them unconditional love.  I let them know that I may not always approve of their ACTIONS, but I would love THEM.  Of course, I have since been the founder, CEO, and president of each of their fan clubs, and that continues today.  Should they even commit murder, they will always be my children and I will always love them.
   That said, I will not condone the ACTION of murder, or try to legalize it.  I will visit them in prison and love them but I stand against murder.
   That brings us , not only to the good Senator from Ohio, but to all who have been brainwashed by Satan to believe that wrong is right.  I support homosexual civil unions.  I believe in the SANCTITY of marriage as God has described it.  If you follow Oma in all of her blogs,including http://omaswisdom.blogspot.com and http://omaslife.blogspot.com. , you know that I "cling to my guns and religion".  I believe that loving your children does not have to include condoning their ACTIONS if those actions are in opposition to your faith.
   I also believe this is the Conservative position, politically.  We love our neighbors and our country, but we don't go against God's teaching in doing so.  We have a definition of Truth and our Truth does not change according the results of the latest poll.

SEQUESTRATION

SEQUESTRATION

   The first step in the federal budget process is that the President has to propose a budget to the Congress by the first Monday of February each year.  President Obama does not obey this law called the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.  This budget is to be very specific:
"On or before the first Monday in February, the President submits to Congress a detailed budget request for the coming federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1. (In years where there is a change in administration, the budget is submitted later.) This budget request, developed by the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB), plays three important roles. First, it tells Congress what the President recommends for overall federal fiscal policy, as established by three main components: (1) how much money the federal government should spend on public purposes; (2) how much it should take in as tax revenues; and (3) how much of a deficit (or surplus) the federal government should run, which is simply the difference between (1) and (2). In most years, federal spending exceeds tax revenues and the resulting deficit is financed through borrowing."

   During the Obama years, America has given the government additional money above and beyond what they take in taxes in the form of TARP, the fiscal cliff deal, and raising the debt ceiling.  We have already discussed the baseline budgeting in previous posts. 

   The sequestration is only a CUT from the scheduled INCREASE, called baseline budgeting.  So, this really is not a cut in spending, but a cut in the scheduled increase in spending.

   Now, what we are seeing from the Democrats in Washington, is aimed at punishing Americans because the Democrats were held to cutting SOMETHING from their out of control SPENDING.  President Obama has released foreign prisoners upon American citizens, and now he has withdrawn border patrols to allow more foreign criminals into our country.
  
   The American Federal government is not required to hand out free cell phones, give welfare to foreigners who break into our country, nor are they required to take separate vacations at the expense of the taxpayer.  We don't want any of these Democrats ripping our Constitutional rights from us by using drones on us, especially when it is OUR  money that purchased them.  The federal government is REQUIRED to protect our country (including from invasion from foreigners).
   It is time for President Obama to obey the law:  protect our country  and submit a budget!

   It is time to fire the Democrats.  The time is now.
