Thoughts on a passing scene…

Today Is my first week of school, first full week.  It feels so odd to be in class with dozens of people in their twenties.

I remember when I was at BYU the random older adults who attended class.  I became friends with a woman in one of my classes who was a grandma, and remember some nice chats with her as we studied together.

I am not really looking to make friends, just up the quality of the music I sing, but it is interesting to be on a campus surrounded by all of the young adults the same age as my three oldest children.

I have been spending quite a bit of time reading through the various synopsis and commentary around the DNC and RNC.  I am friends with several activists who attended the RNC as Delegates and was revolted by what happened to the Ron Paul delegates in regards to rules changes and how they have now set things up for less grass roots participation in the future.  NOT surprised something like this happened, I have hated the RNC since they treated Alan Keyes so shabbily back in the day.

Watch this video to understand the whole story:

As I have participated in political chats with friends on Facebook and with my husband and children at home, I feel torn.

Many longtime blog readers know that I was very involved in the Tea Parties that were organized during the early days of the Obama Presidency.

In fact, I put together a Documentary from the video and audio footage that resulted from all of the events I either organized or attended.

I also gave the opening speech at the first Denver Tea Party in Feb of 2009.

On my Twitter Feed I share some of the articles that shape my views.  I don’t link to all of what I read, because I spend quite a bit of time reading thoughts from all over the political spectrum, and some of the commentary and opinion is simply trash and pointless to promote.  But the thoughtfully written stuff I send to my twitter feed so I can share some of what I am reading.

Basically I believe the American People are going to experience the big time Medical Screw Over with Romney and Ryan as Prez and VP.

I hope that Obamas Presidency has educated my activist friends on the left how pointless it is to believe that anything significant will ever change in terms of the control the Medical Powers that be hold sway over.  The Drug Companies own the political process and the Media and they fully intend to turn the American People more fully into Medical Slaves, with or without Obamacare in place.

With the laws regarding Forced Vaccines as well as the overpowering control the Medicos hold over Childbirth, I see more of the same, with more Midwives locked up, parents bullied, and children intoxicated by the slurry of toxins tied to the whole cradle to grave American Health Care system.

I will keep linking on Facebook, teaching childbirth, blogging, making movies, interviewing the movers and shakers of the Birth Freedom Movement on my radio show, and teaching everyone within my sphere of influence the truth about birth and babies.

But it is a very small group of parents who are interested in learning the truth.  And I predict the next twenty years are going to look rather bleak for the Average American Family in regards to the health and well being of their children.

Oh well, we all have to live and learn.

I plan to sing my way through it all and hope and pray for the health of my grandchildren…

Mormon Mom Blogger responds to Harold Bloom who dumps on the Church I Love

NYT: Will This Election Be the Mormon Breakthrough? 

In this article Bloom dumps on the Latter Day Saints as well as the Tea Party, so for me it was a double whammy…

“Rather than living in reality they yield to what oddly are termed “cultural” considerations: moral and spiritual, or so their leaders urge them to believe. Under the banners of flag, cross, fetus, exclusive marriage between men and women, they march onward to their own deepening impoverishment. Much of the Tea Party fervor merely repeats this gladsome frolic.”

The article was such a mish mash of incoherent blatherings that it was difficult to recognize what point Professor Bloom was trying to make.  Professors of his stature often forget that Humanism is in fact a religion. A religion as easily defined and practiced as my Mormon Faith.

His Point seemed to be:

Tea Partying Mormons influencing the electorate with their morals = BAAAADDDD

Secular Humanistically Inclined Yale Professors of English dumping on those of us who teach our families eternal truths = GOOOOOODDD (Bloom fails to question if his lifes work and decades of indoctrinating the nations youth in relativistic nothingness has led to students pooping on cop cars as a form of “speech”)

Bloom finished up his piece with this little nugget of insight:

“Mormonism’s best inheritance from Joseph Smith was his passion for education, hardly evident in the anti-intellectual and semi-literate Southern Baptist Convention. I wonder though which is more dangerous, a knowledge-hungry religious zealotry or a proudly stupid one? Either way we are condemned to remain a plutocracy and oligarchy. I can be forgiven for dreading a further strengthening of theocracy in that powerful brew.”

One has to wonder if the current nightmare of Marxist Moonbattery that has taken over the White House, which is the intellectual bastardized political child that Bloom and his cohorts in Academia have been gestating in the halls of ivy on American Students since the late 1800’s, is preferable to a little bit of Mormon Pioneer Zealotry, horse sense, and practical economic philosophy, often simplified in this couplet: Use it Up, Wear it Out, Make it Do, or Do Without!

Society should have one simple test for those who would presume to teach the nations youth, and run for Political office:

Start your own business and run it successfully with no outside help from anyone and show a profit after a couple of years, and you can have the honor of attempting to teach young people in a University setting.  If we were to set up that standard of “purity” for our society, we could fix this thing in a generation…
