Social Stratification in the United States

Really enjoying my sociology class.  I thought the following quote from, Sociology Matters (pg 138) worth sharing. 

 "One way for the powerful to maintain the status quo is to define society's dominant ideology - the set of cultural beliefs and practices that supports powerful social, economic, and political interests.  From a conflict perspective, society's most powerful groups and institutions control not only wealth and property but the means of influencing people's cultural beliefs through religion, education, and the media" (Abercrombie et al, 1980, 1990; Robertson 1988).

 

A Glimpse into Where We Are!

A word comes to mind Ochlocracy. It's sometimes said to be the eventual culminating characteristic of a democratic form of government. I'm hearing the words mob and mob rule more often. What an exciting time to be living! Why do I say this?

Here's another reason......I see our government gaining strength in it's ability to force it's decisions on the masses. Many intelligent, free thinking individuals claim that our current administration is quickly turning our government into a socialist, marxist regime. Based on what I see, I think the problem is much bigger than just an oncoming socialist, marxist government. What we are seeing is the rising of a wholestic ochlocratic system of government.

Wanting to control life and death should be a freedom that we never turn over to the hands of government. In no shape or form. This is one of the many dangers poised with the healthcare plan. What's worse is the act of government moving to silence those that don't support the legislation. Our government is asking us to turn in and hand over the names of individuals who don't agree with it's decisions. Why I ask?

Here's a quote from Foxnews.co

"The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it," Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday. "There's also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can't try to rewrite history by pretending it didn't receive anything," he said. "If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute."

Read Entire Article.....

It's a serious time and at the same time a rather glorious time to be living in. To continue,......I read the Department of Homeland Security Report (DHS), on Right Wing Extremist. In it was an breakdown/list of individuals considered to be threats to our government. In the report, veterans were considered a threat. People who believed in the sanctity of live were considered a threat. People who followed or support only one simple cause were considered threats, along with a number of other various normal citizen profiles.

Most interesting item mentioned by the DHS report was of Prophets being possible threats to our current system of government. Why? Because much prophetic dialogue is available referenced to this peticuliar oncoming system of government. It's the government of the pale horse. Revelation 6:4

"In your patience possess ye your souls." Luke 21:19

Well I'm no prophet but I do know the one and only true prophet which is Jesus Christ. I know that God uses flesh however he chooses. He chose a man to write about this current system thousands of years ago. His name was Daniel the Prophet. Daniel wrote about ocher and the ochlocratic system of government. Ocher is the mixture of clay and iron. Ocher is also referred to as pale. It is also defined as money. I mean let's get a clue. Do you really think that one black man is behind the actions of our government. NO! I don't buy it for one minute. My father-in-law said something to me years ago. He said, "they waited till the Chamber of Commerce was bankrupt before they turned it over to me.

We as intelligent individuals know that it's always about the money.

Daniel stated that once this system of clay and iron was finally in place that would be the signal of the coming of the Rock Cut out Without Hands which would crush this system and all of man's systems it. The rock being Jesus's Christ's victory of all systems and God setting up his system of government. Read Daniel 2:32-35

I can see, and what I've discovered is that this pale, mixture of clay and iron, governmental system also signals the entering into the Day of the Lord. This is signaled by a 75% of mankind living a day on this earth. A day were God's Glory fills the earth. Remember one day with the Lord is as a thousand, and a thousand is as one day. Since the fall of mankind, no one has lived a day. The oldest man lived sightly over 900+ years. I believe that God is going to make an open show of his power over death. He's going to cause those who are willing to accept...the ability to live for a day. A day on the earth, in a physical body, while the pale horse rides.

When we read Revelation 6:7 the loosening of the fourth seal, the pale horse with the death rider and hell following. We are quickly made aware of the loss of 25% human life. I present another view and that is death and hell will be unable to touch 75% of mankind during the time the pale horse rider. Men will seek death and not be able to find it. This is why Jesus says that we must recieve heaven as children. Because 1000 years is really not a long time to he who is timeless. Through God's eyes eternal damnation isnt' a real long time. Not even for ever and ever.

Internet Success Tips!

Top 15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List


Email marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you offer. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and, if done right, helps build loyalty and trust with customers. As a result, you generate more sales and more profits!

The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, permission-based email list. Marketers call contact lists their 'goldmine' because it can generate much of their sales revenue. If you've built up a list of opt-in subscribers that are qualified and interested in what you have to offer, then you've completed the first step and are on your way. Now it's time to 'mine' for gold!

Below you'll find several list-building and retention ideas that will help you get the best results from all your email marketing activities:

Provide useful, relevant content. Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be of interest or use to them.

Add a subscription form to every page on your website. Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If it doesn't look cluttered, you may want to include more than one on some pages. For instance, if your opt-in form always appears in the top-left corner of your site, you may want to add one at the end of your most popular articles.

Add subscription forms to your social media pages. Make sure that you don't waste this valuable source of revenue opportunities. Integrate your sign-up forms with Facebook and more!

Make it easy for readers to sign up. The more information you request, the fewer people will opt-in. In most cases, a name and an email address should suffice. If it's not necessary, don't include it here. You can always survey them once they're customers! We do recommend that you provide a link to your Privacy Policy however.

Publish a Privacy Policy. Let your readers know that they can be confident you will not share their information with others. The easiest way to do this is to set up a Privacy Policy web page and provide the link to it below your opt-in form. (Note: If you don't have one, put the words 'privacy policy generator' into a search engine and you should be able to find a suitable form to use.)

Provide samples of your newsletters and Ezines. This lets potential subscribers review your materials before they sign up to determine if it's something they'd be interested in.

Archive past newsletters and articles. An online library of past newsletters and articles is both appealing and useful to visitors and builds your credibility as an authority. In addition, if your articles are written with good SEO techniques in mind, they can increase traffic to your website through enhanced search engine positioning.

Give gifts subscribers can actually use. Offer an opt-in bonus for joining your subscriber list! Write an ebook or provide a PDF business report, or even hire a programmer to create downloadable or web-based software. But don't limit yourself to offering gifts to opt-ins. Give them out when your readers fill out a survey, provide a testimonial, success story, or a great product idea. Let them know when they can expect the next gift offer. Everyone likes to get something for free! And if you pass out 'goodies' throughout the year, your subscribers will feel truly appreciated − and that's good for business!

Ask your subscribers to pass it on. Word of mouth is a powerful viral technique that works great with email marketing. If your subscribers find your content interesting, amusing or informative, they'll probably share it with their friends. This can be a great source of new customers, so make sure to remind them to 'pass it on'.

Let others reprint your newsletter as long as the content is not modified. If you're happy to share your content with the universe, then why not! Many webmasters and newsletter publishers are actively looking for high-quality content and, if they reprint your newsletter, you'll get new subscribers, and more traffic and links pointing to your site.

Include a 'Sign Up' button in your newsletter. If you're using plain text instead of HTML, be sure to provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint them online. Make it easy for them to subscribe!

Add a squeeze page. A squeeze page has one goal − to acquire opt-ins and build your list. Think of it as a mini-sales letter to go along with your subscription or opt-in gift. It should feature a strong headline and a couple of powerful benefits that should make subscribers salivate to sign up! Once created, use a service such as WordTracker to find hundreds of targeted keywords, and promote your offer using pay-per-click advertising from Google, MSN and Yahoo. Now that should make a splash!

Include testimonials on your squeeze page. This is crucial. Put one or two strong testimonials from satisfied customers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video) is more 'believable' and inspires more people to action. To further enhance believability, get permission to use actual customer names, locations and/or urls (Don't use 'Bob K, FL'). Add a note inviting others to participate. After all, it's free publicity!

Blog religiously. Blogging is a great way to communicate with prospects and potential customers, and creates a nice synergy with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign-up form on each page of your blog. You can start a free blog at Blogger or WordPress.

Post on other blogs. Post thoughtful comments and information on similar blogs with a link to your squeeze or opt-in pages. Also comment on others' blogs through trackbacks. In most cases, your comments will be posted on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is an easy way to generate new traffic and subscribers, and get your brand out there!

Obama Birth Certificate FOR SALE!!!

Here's a new twist for the crazy birther's.  Maybe not so crazy...lol.

"Despite national press reports to the contrary, the Hawaii state legislature has no intention of releasing Barack Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate – not even for $100.


By introducing HB1116 into the Hawaii legislature last week, five Democrats are giving the impression they are willing to make Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate available to the public for a fee.

Bad Poop!

I remember my times in the military. I was and expert at shoveling paperwork. Peace time military hmmm. These guys coming back from Nam took shamming to a whole new level. They used an expression which went, "Looks like you just got a hold of some bad poop." getting hold of some bad poop meant that the dynasty where you had received your last orders had fallen. This situation can happen on many different levels. It can happen when you have a mis-guided lower level administrative decision maker who's attempting to flex. It can also happen when you are involved with such a mass conglomeration of favor calling that you don't have the slightest idea who's umbrella you're being exempted by. All you know is that somehow within you circle of influence, you're able to do what you want, when you want. Such was the military once I put my own system in place inside of their regimented uniform structure of government. Let's say, I got away with a lot of stuff.

So, for instance let's say that one of your partners is high ranking and his or her rank has afforded you with a certain amount of military special considerations. Even though I was a lower ranking military man, I was an expert at following the best orders from as high as I could get them. Hence I often ended up on exclusive details like helping out in Monterey near 17 mile Drive or, traveling with the band to Frisco to perform over the weekend. What??? Go tell Captain so, and so, to give us his new motor home???? What??? Keep the motor home over the weekend??? What?? Drive the new motor home to the show??? What?? Here's money to travel with??? What??? We can take girls???? What??? But this is another story.

I was good at picking out the best orders to follow. Such is life. We are daily bombarded with orders. Orders what to believe, how to think, how to behave, how to dress, how to talk...ect.

I was talking to a client today. As he walked in the door he rubbed his side and said, "man, my back just started hurting." I said, what happened? When did it happen? He said, "soon as I starting drinking that soda." As he rubbed his side again.

I said, "that's not your back. That's where you kidney is located." "Don't, you think it's strange that it started hurting when you started with the soda?" "What type of water do you drink?" I asked.

He said, "I don't drink no water he said." I quit drinking it after I started hanging with her." He said, nodding his head towards his girlfriend.

I said, "looks like you might have gotten a hold of some bad poop."

Listen to your spirit. Only follow orders from he who is the highest.

I'm Not Playing

We've reached a time where worldly children are freely exerting their wills over submissive parents. Case in point....

I'm thinking about supplementing my income and going back to selling furniture for a short period of time. So, while I'm out on an interview, I notice this kid playing around with one of the store's inventory computers. He's about 13 years old, which in my opinion is old enough to know better. As he's pushing buttons on the keypad he turns to me and asks, "How do you get to the main screen?" Somehow seeking my approval to continue in his mischief. I said to him, "I don't know. I don't think it's intended to be played with." Thinking that the statement would be enough to deter a rational 13 year old from touching something that didn't belong to them.

Much to my amazement, this kid puffed out his chest and in the commandeering voice inflection reminiscent of some of my childhood friends said, "I ain't playing with you man." Now that I think of it, most of my young gangster friends are currently maladjusted or in some cases dead. I remember one friend who loved to fight. He was decapitated.

I couldn't believe it. I just sorta shook my head and quit talking to the kid. I've raised 3 well adjusted, fully functional and respectful young adults and the thought of some parent not teaching their children respect blows my top.

They Treat Us Like Cattle!

"You're About To Learn Secrets Most People
Will Never Know About The New World Order"

Stop being treated like Cattle....

Bad Comparison

I was listening to a minister on the radio make an analogy. He was putting forth the concept that the desire of King David to bring the Ark into the City of David was similar to President Obama's desire to pass health care. He went on about David wanting to make a historic change in the lives of men just like Obama and so, on and so forth. blah...blah...blah... I slowly tuned him out and tuned God on. The God on the inside of me. The Ark of God was representative of the various natures of God. Inside the Ark was Aaron's Branch that budded even though it was separated from a tree. It represents the self sustaining nature of God. It contained the shew bread that never went bad. It contained the Tablets of Law given to Moses on the mountain.

David's desire was to please God. He really wanted to build him a house but, God instructed him that Solomon would build the house. I wonder sometimes why God allowed Solomon to build him a house. Where is the house of the Lord? God lives in a house made not with human hands. We are the house of the Lord.

Obama's plan for social reforms on the other hand is an attempt to cause government to establish a single pay system. On the onset this doesn't look like a bad thing. But in the light of scripture this is something that Christians should actually pray and stand against. This signals a very interesting event in the timeline of man's existence. Daniel the Prophet stated that the toes of the beast would consist of part iron and part clay. The iron is government and clay stands for mankind. Government is seeking a single pay system where all monetary transactions are handled by government. hmmm....."No man could buy or sell except...." Rev 13:17

We are seeing the formation of an ochlocratic style of government leading the people in the direction of a lie.

Ochlocratic is a form of government where the mob rules. I read somewhere that ochlocracy was the resulting end of democracy. It goes through numerous processes but, once those in charge realize that they can vote for whatever they believe will benefit their sphere of associations, democracy implodes. Rome was quite similar to current day U.S.A. in that there is a constant need to promise the general populace free stuff while keeping them distracted from the real issues. For instance the world climate change summit where political attendee's rooms where $5000 per night. Who's paying these tabs? Who cares? American dollars supporting the ongoing support of a lie. Who's making the money?

Ocher - A mixture of iron and clay

So we that understand realize that it's no fluke that health care represents 1/6 the the nation's privatized economy. Six is a number often used to represent various aspects of man contrary to God. For instance Goliath had six toes and six fingers. If you take a little time to re-read that passage, you'll be amazed how many sixes are associated with this behemoth who made proclamations against the God of Israel.

I've done extensive research and my verdict is different Mr. President'e. Global Warming Is One Big Humongous Lie!

If You Want the Truth Click Here

If you don't have time to watch!

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.

John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort."

One would have believed that the leaking of emails debunking the entire global warming fiasco would have caused a better thinking President to say...."Woe, let's find out what the verdict is before I commit the U.S. to these actions that may or may not be true."

I pray for our people. Why continue to interpret scripture with the desired result to exalt man. One should cease from man who's breath is in his nostrils. We really need to strive past the whole black white thing and exalt the God nature of who we are. If we do, we won't fall prey to preachers only wanting to control those who are mistakenly worshipping another man for their own profit.

Clean Water From Dirty Wells!

So Rahm used a politically unacceptable word and now must quickly perform damage control. In my opinion, he's going to meet with various leader within the disabled community who sway the thinking of the disabled community. They're gonna make him jump through some hoops. They'll be sure as to not set any of the hoops on fire for sure. In essence, he'll probably get a pass. Why, cause that be the times we lived in. Clean water does not flow from dirty welsl. The problem with U.S. politics is that the well is dirty. Clean water can only flow from a clean well. Whatever proceeds out of an individual's mouth especially in casual conversation is most surely what is in that individuals heart.

Dear friend, this is the same type of thinking and speaking that was overlooked in Germany and gave way to the rise of Hitler. An entire populace thinking, if I can get mine, and it doesn't directly affect me then, give me the remote and refill my glass.

Hat's off to Palin:

Sarah Palin is calling on President Obama to fire his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel for using the phrase “f—ing retarded” in a meeting with liberal allies. Writing on Facebook, Palin said, “Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking

On another note: I was listening to a well know Houston Minister. He compared the passage of the healthcare bill to that of David returning the arc. I though to myself, how sad the black community falling for the OKEY DOKE once again. Freedom is being absorb by the beast mixture of iron and clay. Ochlocracy, Ocher. The pale horse has started it's ministry.

BlogCatalog - Palin and Fox

I was amazed with the type of responses received when I polled BlogCatalog with the question of Governor Palin taking the job at Fox News. Usually I can obtain a feel for public sentiment from the site. The tend to do a pretty good job filtering out the trolls. After reading a few responses, I've come to the conclusion that I still may be correct in my assessment of the Trojan Horse Theory. It's the old adage, "Keep you friends close but keep you enemies closer".

The majority of comments made at the site were positive about the position, believing it would afford her with important exposure. I'm often suspect at the opinion and the decisions made by the majority except when fleeing from some type of natural/national disaster. There's something about the mass consciousness's ability to be right on when in survival mode. Sadly, on many random insignificant issues where the outcome isn't obvious, I tend to question or not agree with the majority. Why? Because the little foxes eating grapes at the lower levels destroy the vine. (Song of Solomon 2:15)

For most of my life, I have been self-employed. My parents were self-employed. My grandparents were self-employed. I'm not against working for others but, I have always lived my life adhering to two basic principles in regards to working for others. 1. No one does anything for nuthin. 2. Don't trust anyone, especially the boss.

I myself interviewed for a job with a major firm yesterday. My prospective employer asked me if I wanted to ask any candid questions. I stated, "Do I have to put on a mussle and stay in the barn?"

I heard a joke yesterday that said, "You know it's gonna be a good day when you're eating you morning breakfast and you notice you're boss's face on the milk carton...lol...that's bad...lol

There's a tactic used in Pro Sports whereby organizations will hire players that they consider threats to the organization then bench them.

Consider Heisman Trophy Winner Andre Ware. He rarely got off the bench.

With all the back room deals and subversive tactics of this current administration, one can only hope that the new job works out good for Mrs. Palin. Personally, I feel that the White house is way to concerned with controlling the media. Such a thing I've never seen in my entire 55 years in America. Me thinks the media powers are way to controlling of public opinion. What happened to the concept of, "if it bleeds, it leads."

I also feel that Governor Palin should in no way subjugate herself to McCain for the good of the GOP. It appears to me that they don't have her best interest at heart. I wouldn't trust them a bit.

My advice, don't let them offer you a ton of money and then bench you. But, who am I but just another dummy who voted cause Obama looked black.

Don't Want to Piss Off any Blacks!

Here's an excerpt from one of the top stories of the day:

A conservative media analyst says the mainstream media will once again be demonstrating its bias if it quickly ends its coverage of Harry Reid's controversial race remarks like the White House wants.

The new book Game Change recounts how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) in 2008 described then presidential candidate Barack Obama as a "light-skinned" black American with "no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

Reid issued a statement Saturday, saying: "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African-Americans, for my improper comments."

Read Entire Article....

I think it's funny that mainstream media are being urged to give this story the cobash. I thought media's main premise was "If it bleeds it leads!" and "Who cares about truth, make sure you spell the names correctly!"

My Spider senses are telling me that the media wants to kill the story before people wake-up and realize that it's the truth. Who cares about truth? We have a black president.

Immediately after the election of America's first President that appeared to bear the resemblence of a black american, I noticed how many foreigners were so happy for us. It reminded me of a couple of old saying that I learned as a child.

1. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Obama started immediately apoligizing for American, invention, ingenuity, pride, fortitude, ect... These are benchmarks on which our country is founded on. Obama at one time stated that our nation is not a christian nation while attempting to appease Turkey. Like Global warming, the christian heritage of our nation is without debate.

2. "No one does anything for nothing". Where do you thing all the free stimulus money is coming from. We're not taking it from the folks who we're fighting over oil with. We're not demanding it from the countries loading us down with illegal immigrants.

Now as time has elapsed, we see Obama increasing ties with muslim religion and socialist ideologies. More than ever we need to pray for America. Pray that America doesn't follow the path of many past civilizations who failed because of trusting in men rather than God.
