PLEASE-JUST LOCK THE DOOR!!

By John Stallings


The boys & girls who have made ObamaCare-the law of the land...

...are going to follow up the ‘easy pickings” by ramming through their program of “amnesty” i.e. allowing anywhere from 15-45 million illegal aliens safe passage into the U.S. This is purely political to pack ballot boxes & make sure only Liberal/Democrats are elected until Jesus comes & maybe beyond.

Also, we shouldn't forget that will come with any perks we who've paid into the system are getting. Just to keep the record straight, we paid for our Social Security etc. over the decades with the threat of unbelievable fines, interest & possible incarceration.

Close on the heels of the HealthCare "victory" will be “cap “n” trade”/ “cap & tax” which will reach into our homes & set our thermostats, plus in short order having us driving small cars with our knees up under our chins. Of course the Washington guys will continue to ride in their big black SUVs.

Obama is doing nothing he didn’t pledge before he was elected; the American electorate just wasn’t paying attention.

The following blog “Please-just lock the door” was written almost three years ago, but I thought it might be interesting to read it again.—Thanks for your time.--

PLEASE- JUST LOCK THE DOOR!


By John Stallings


I have a friend who has a beautiful house that sets on a nice piece of property. He has a nice family, a lovely wife and three kids. He keeps the house up very well but laughs about some of the things that still need fixing, says they give the house character. I think he’s right, and there’s not enough wrong to detract from how nice his house is. My friend’s neighborhood has changed for the worse over the last few years. It’s gotten much rougher. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not nearly as bad as some places, but suffice to say it’s just not the same place he knew a few years back. One of his neighbors down the street was mugged recently as she walked from her driveway to her porch. Another neighbor just a few blocks over from him was attacked in the middle of the night when he surprised a burglar in his house.

But what really got my friends attention was one night recently he came in late from work and went in to check on one of kids and found a man going through his little daughters dresser. Scary, right? Well the intruder escaped, the cops never caught him and my friend’s daughter sleeps with the light on now.

My friend’s home isn’t the same anymore.

He now has cameras all over the house, outside and in, and has six or eight monitors all over the place and everyone’s instructed to call him if they see anything the least bit suspicious.

My friend now has a 90-pound Rottweiler named Evil that roams around the place. Evil knows who’s supposed to be there and who’s not and Lord help anyone who’s not supposed to be there if Evil catches them.

My friend has also bought shotguns and they are positioned all over the house as well as a 357 magnum which he keeps at his bedside. My friend is well gunned and prepared for the next person who would dare to approach that house and threaten his loved ones.

BUT MY FRIEND HAS A STUPID HABIT

I know it sounds CRAZY but this friend of mine just will not lock his doors, -ever. I’ve told him several times and everybody tells him that he must keep his doors locked but nothing doing, he’s old fashioned, he won’t do it.  I tell my friend;

The easiest, most common sense thing he could do that wouldn’t cost him a cent would be to lock his doors.

Then I point out the obvious, -that locking a door isn’t a permanent type thing, you can always only open the door for the people you want to come into the house. I tell him that he’d be better off to have saved the money spent on guns etc. and just close and lock his doors. But nooooooo my friend won’t listen; he wants those doors unlocked.

He has his arsenal.

He has his cameras.

He has his dog.

They will surely keep the bad guys away from his house; the doors will stay open.

Even as I write this I am so frustrated with my friend that I can’t see straight.

Anyone should be able to figure out that his duty would be to use the first line of defense to protect his family and that is;


JUST LOCK THE DOOR --AND LET IN ONLY THOSE WHOM YOU TRUST.

I’m SORRY!!

By now you know that I don’t really have a friend this stupid.

But do you know what? We have a Nation that is armed to the teeth and that’s good. We have enough nuclear explosives to destroy the world several times over. We have smart weapons that just to hear them described takes your breath away. I appreciate all that! But what sense does it make for us to have all this if our “Achilles heel” is going to be a mule train ambling over Canada’s or Mexico’s porous borders laden with poisonous WMD or suitcase bombs? By now we all have heard that the 19 Islamic terrorist’s who hit us on 9/11 had between them 67 different driver’s licenses. Can it be true what one man said, that a nuclear attack will be mandatory before we ever “lock the door”? Has America’s safety really become a “tombstone industry”?

We’ve got the dog, the guns and the cameras, but for some reason that escapes me -they refuse to lock our doors.

YOU MAY ASK IF I WOULD LIKE AMERICA TO ISOLATE ITSELF AND NOT LET ANYONE ELSE IN.

A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!


Listen carefully;

We can always open the doors to let whomever we want to come in.  Historically this practice is what made our nation great.

But instead, we leave our borders open risking our safety simply because we won't do the first, most simple thing we could do to protect our security. Obviously I’m no expert. I really didn’t need to tell you that did I ?

Some say politics is why we keep the doors open, maybe so. That’s too deep for me. Some say we need the cheap labor of the people who come in illegally because not enough of our citizenry will do mundane work. Maybe so. Some say we should build a wall. I don’t know about that either. But if we are smart enough to send men to the moon along with a car to drive around up there, aren’t we smart enough to come up with a plan to keep people bent on doing us harm from waltzing through our doors?

NOTE TO OUR LEADERS. PLEASE LOCK THE DOOR!


Blessings,


John
