New Mayor in St. Croix Falls

With the dawn of a new election, I am excited to see new leadership in St. Croix Falls, WI! We have a new Mayor. Good Luck to Mr. Foss, but I am happy to see new leadership in our fair City.

However, I am sad to say that our County is home to some seriously liberal and socially scary folks. While doing some research I came across this bitter diatribe: http://polk-county-board.blogspot.com.

If you want to understand the rational of environmental socialists, read Jeff Peterson's blog. He was on the Polk County Board representing District 5. He has a lot of opinions to share. Mostly about how everyone is doing it wrong, except him.

What do you think?

Yea, I know what some of you are thinking, but I want you to know. I don't dump oil in the sewers, lakes, or rivers...actually I am an avid hunter and fisherman. I love the environment, but I don't worship it and I certainly believe that God's green earth is here for us and not us for it. Although you won't find me hugging a tree in the woods, you may find me sitting in one with a bow or gun.

The real issue is whether we are making a big deal out of nothing and ruining our world in the process. Do we really want to be like Europe? Hello, Europe Sucks!

I don't want to speak Arabic and I don't want to pay $6.50 for a gallon of gas. But we are making more rules that we know what to do with and our liberal leaders are trying to save the earth, which doesn't need saving.

The Gratitude Campaign

Ok, I have a brother in Iraq, on his second tour of duty, who is totally in support of what he is doing. I also have a brother-in-law, who was away from his family for over 24 months (including training, but mostly in Iraq). He came back with some pretty bad scars on the inside. Would he do it again, yes. He said we are going to fight them over there or over here...it is our choice.

Wow, how crazy is that! Do we realize the mentality of the men and women who strap on the boots and put themselves in the way of terrorist? Have you thanked a soldier today, this week, this month, or not at all? Read the following and watch the video!

As Quoted from www.gratitudecampaign.org

For the past several years as I've been traveling around the country, I've been approaching soldiers in the airports and thanking them for serving for us. On several occasions I have noticed that it felt a little awkward for both of us. There are several reasons, some of which I am even just now learning as I produce this film and talk to more soldiers. But they have always appreciated being thanked, and I have always felt better having expressed my gratitude.
I started to think that it would be nice if civilians had a gesture or sign that they could use to say "thank you" quickly and easily without even having to approach. I did some research and found the sign that we are now using.

Is this limited to the military? Not at all. If you look around you I'm sure that you'll find lots of people who are serving their communities, from local to global. If you appreciate their service, give them a sign. Say "thank you."

Christmas Light Gone Wild

Here is a display of some Christmas lights that have made their way around the internet for a couple of years. They still are a lot of fun to watch. If you haven't seen them, here you go:

Is there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?

Christmas. Commonly confused with getting gifts, eating too much, and spending more that you make is really not about Santa Clause, Christmas Trees, and Shopping Malls. Does anyone remember what Christmas is really about? Charlie Brown reminds us. Worth taking a look!

Security Guard at the Church was Former Minneapolis Cop

Ok, the Minnesota ties to this case are crazy. Not only were 2 the victims from Minnesota, but the security guard who saved the lives of so many was a former Minneapolis Police Officer. She has been so humble. As things continue to be sorted out, it is amazing to see the out pouring of support by everyone, even the media.

Security guard who stopped shooter credits God

Jeanne Assam, the female congregant who shot a gunman who entered New Life Church Sunday, said she felt weak as she approached him because she had been fasting. "I prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me, for the Holy Spirit to be with me," she said. "My hands weren't even shaking. I knew what I had to do." developing story

Wow, I am totally amazed by this story. What is going on it this country? Thank God for this lady who was packing heat and had the sense to do something when it counted most. Not Stand there and let more people get killed.

Having just killed 2 and injuring 2 more - at YWAM - Youth With a Mission, Matthew Murray, at 24 year old, burst into the church with the intent of killing many people in a blaze of gun fire. Carrying more than 500 rounds, Murry got only a few feet into the lobby when Assam confronted him and took him down. Way-to-go!

Here you have a perfect example of a legal, gun carrying, permit holding member of society who used a GUN to save lives. As long as there are criminals, Liberals need to remember who truely are going to protect the people. It is not the government. It is the law abiding citizens united.

Global Warming :: Real or Hoax

I have heard so much about Global Warming these days that I am wondering who is pushing all this stuff. I mean, I honestly don't believe it ~ not for a second. It is obvious to me that there are some serious political and social powers working behind the scenes. Doesn't anybody ready these days?

For instance, visit: www.friendsofscience.org and see for yourself what real scientist who have real experience with science have to say about the whole global warming debate. You will never hear a commentator on the news talk about them, nor will you ever here them ask the people they interview to actually provide proof for their statements. No, it is always emotions and hypothesis.

I am sitting here in St. Croix Falls, WI freezing my butt off because the earth is warming? Huh? The latest news on channel 11 ~ www.kare11.com ~ is that Global Warming is causing it to snow more. What? Does anyone believe this? It is freezing outside and getting colder.

Al Gore has made it popular to be Green, but he is not the example of what Green is. His fictional "carbon footprint", which isn't real, is huge because of all the SUV's, Planes, and Secret Service guys that he drives around with. He has a mansion that is like a castle and uses energy like it is free. And he lectures us about warming the planet? Yea, that might be effective.

Now City Hall is looking to mandate Green Building Initiatives and Sustainable Design, etc. That all sounds good, but what it really does is raise the cost of everything you want to build. You will be paying higher prices for all the materials, for the guy that has to certify your building, the guy who checks up on the paperwork for your building, and the materials are worthless. They are made out of recycled crap materials that will fall apart if they get wet.

All the while, we are trying to save the earth, but China is allowed to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Ok, that is just stupid. We won't, but they can ~ so we can depend on all our friends in Venezuela and the Middle East. Perfect. Way to go Congress.

Wake up people of the world. Global Warming is a hoax. It is socialist behavior modification. It is a tool for the socialist Democrats to impose their views on your behaviors and make you do what they say. Don't fall for it!
