Wow! How many times do we "give" our problems to God only to snatch them back again? Like a child brings a toy to a parent to be fixed, so we take our problems to God. Then we "forget" that HE has the power to handle the problems and take them back upon ourselves. ("Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:22 KJV and "Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:7 KJV)
God doesn't need us to "meddle" with His Plan. He promises to work with what we give Him. Sometimes that isn't much because we end up taking matters into our own hands without waiting upon the LORD. ("But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 KJV)
I pray that I won't meddle...

Derailed for good?
Okay. No matter what you think of Herman Cain...it seems that his contention for the Presidency may be coming to an end. According to a report on FNC, Cain has now slipped 11 points in the polls - leaving Romney and Gingrich tied for first.
I have liked Cain from his very first debate appearance. What saddens me is that, for many, the alleged sexual harassment has caused doubt about Cain's trustworthiness.
What do I think?
I think that it's awfully convenient that as soon as Cain soars in the polls, "victims" long since vanished into the woodwork suddenly start appearing. Do I believe the allegations? Not really...however, I wasn't there. The timing of the "coming forth" of these women leaves it quite suspect in my mind.
Many pundits were talking about a Cain vs. Obama showdown for the 2012 election. Hmmm. Now suddenly that most likely won't happen. Did Obama's camp have anything to do with this? (Uh oh...guess I'm now gonna get reported to AttackWatch...LOL)
With a Cain-Obama contest, where ever would Obama be able to insert race?
Just because I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 doesn't make me a racist. However, if you DID vote for Obama because he is "black," then you ARE a racist.
Why does the Left fear Cain?
Perhaps it's his no nonsense approach to solving our debt crisis. Having extensive experience in the business world, his way of creating solutions comes from a different perspective than career politicians. That scares people. To think that Cain, if elected, would change things from the status quo makes people nervous. I understand that people don't like change (and I don't mean Obama's kind)...but if we continue down the path we are on, there will be no United States of America left.
I have been hoping that Cain's campaign would recover from the supposed scandal, but I am not sure that it will. I still support Cain. It just goes to show you that it is easier to tear down a reputation than to repair one.
I am praying for you, Cain, as well as the rest of the candidates. (Yes, even Obama.) There are several that I don't feel I can support should Cain no longer be a viable candidate...but I do know we don't need Obama for a 2nd term.
In my opinion, we didn't need him for the first.

H.R. 822
This bill introduced in the House of Representatives is the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act. (For more information, visit: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=7138)
We as American citizens have the right to bear arms (2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States). If a person has a permit to carry in one state, what is the point in not having that permit extend to the other 49 states?
Remember: Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Be responsible.

The Occupy Movement really needs to become UN-OCCUPIED
Okay. The violence at these "Occupy" rallies (or whatever they are being called) is getting ridiculously out-of-hand.
Earlier today, I watched a short video in which an innocent bystander was pushed down a flight of steps at the DC Convention Center. (http://nation.foxnews.com/occupy-wall-street/2011/11/06/conservative-vs-liberal-ideology-display-dc)
What about the violence that erupted at a McDonald's in New York? The Occupy Wall Street protester wanted free food! (http://nation.foxnews.com/occupy-wall-street/2011/11/06/occupy-protester-trashes-mcdonalds-after-being-denied-free-food)
When is enough enough?
I guess if you ask an Occupy protester, he/she would probably state that this is just the beginning of a "movement."
I don't think these protesters will be satisfied until there is an equal distribution of assets in this country. That brings to mind the Bible verse 2 Thessalonians 3:10: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." (NIV)
Sadly, these so-called movements occurring across the country are doing nothing but causing financial resources to be drained (since emergency personnel such as police officers and fire fighters are needed in greater numbers). Businesses can't open because of the crowds - and many of the owners are part of the "99%" that are supposedly being represented.
Whata bout the health impact? Are there adequate rest room facilities? Certainly it can't take long for those "Spot-a-Pots" to be filled. Perhaps the protesters are using the facilities of local businesses. Are those business owners (again, probably part of that magical 99%) being reimbursed by the movement for those added expenses?
Then there's the ecological impact on the environment. The trash left behind must be excessive...or are the protesters recycling? Wait...are they leaving a bigger carbon footprint?
Where are the protesters to protest against the protesters?

Political Correctness has gone TOO far!
Frankly, I am tired of individuals having to be concerned with being PC (politically correct).
It seems that lately in our country, the good ol' USofA, the desire of one individual overrules the desires of the remaining ninety-nine. What do I mean by that?
Let's look at some recent instances of this:
- Catholic University being sued for discrimination against Muslim students for not providing a Catholic icon-free area for them to offer their daily prayers (although it should be noted that it is a professor that has instigated the law suit and not students). http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Suit_Accuses_Catholic_U__Of_Discrimination-132908343.html
- Walt Disney company will not release "Song of the South" (1946) due to the fear that some blacks ("African Americans") might be offended at the content of the movie despite the fact that the Uncle Remus stories (upon which the movie is based) are set AFTER the Civil War and the abolition of slavery.
http://www.songofthesouth.net/faq/index.html
- Five students in a California high school were sent home when they refused to remove their USA flag t-shirts on Cinco de Mayo (a Mexican holiday) because the shirts were deemed to be "incendiary"
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/06/california-students-sent-home-wearing-flags-cinco-mayo/
- In Maine, because a 12 year-old "transgendered" male was denied use of a female bathroom, the Maine Human Rights Commission proposed to ban the divisions between gender in schools (bathrooms, sports, etc.). Due to mounting pressure, the proposal was retracted.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/15/maine-commission-shelves-ban-gender-specific-bathrooms-sports-teams-schools/
- The government refused to act on the "red flags" exhibited by one of the Army's psychiatrist because of fear that there would be an accusation of "profiling."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33678801/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/gunman-kills-wounds-fort-hood/#.TriIrEOXu7s
The above examples are just several that came to this writer's mind while writing this blog post. There are many more and readers should feel free to comment accordingly on this blog - sharing their examples.
However, perhaps comments should be "reviewed" and "monitored" by some kind of Language and Thought Police. After all, that's what it seems that it has come down to...
The Liberal Left has no problems convicting one of the current GOP candidates of sexual harassment (despite no conclusive evidence) while giving our current President and former President a pass in this area. And no...I did not have a sexual relationship with the owner of this blog site. Besides, I burned the dress.
Speaking of our current President, for goodness sake, don't say anything negative about him. Otherwise, www.AttackWatch.com lurkers may just see to it that men in dark suits and sunglasses show up at your door.
It is this writer's opinion that political correctness has run a muck. Is it any wonder that our youth are confused?

Cain Train Screeching to a Halt?
What's up with all of these accusations that are surfacing about GOP Presidential contender Herman Cain? Shhh. We can't talk about it. The women want to remain anonymous. Isn't that special?
Don't misunderstand. I think sexual harassment does occur in the workplace and frankly, I find it disgusting. Just go to work, do your job, and then leave. But in this case, I wonder about the validity of the claims. "Inappropriate comments" were supposedly made. I wasn't there, so I don't know. What I do know is that my support of Cain 2012 hasn't waivered. I guess it hasn't for others either since Cain's fund raising contributions have increased over the last 48 hours.
From news accounts, it seems that the one alleged "victim" really doesn't want to speak about the incident - but her lawyer does. Oh that's shocking. Another lawyer running his/her mouth on television.
Cain shared one comment that he had made to the aforementioned employee and it involved stating that she was about the same height as his wife. HORRORS! No wonder the woman was upset! Just hearing about it has traumatized me for life and forced me into intensive therapy.
That's considered sexual harassment?
Having experienced TRUE sexual harassment on the job, Cain's comment garners no tissues for me. I am so sick of all of the PC crap out there where people are afraid to even look at one another lest the "look" be misconstrued.
Perhaps we all need to lighten up a little bit and stop crying "wolf" when it's really just a dog. That...or wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and walk around without looking or speaking to one another.
You decide.
As for me, I believe bubble wrap is made for popping and not wearing as articles of clothing.
