The Stafford Voice is a journal for conservative politics, news, thought and understanding which encompasses a mindset, shaped by a certain set of values and principles, dedicated to the continuous progression of this great nation we call The United States of America.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness:
The Declaration of Independence states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It is certain that everyone is created with the right to life, liberty and that they have the right to the pursuit of happiness. It is NOT certain that everyone has an equal right to everything. Because someone has exercised their rights and has become successful does NOT mean that their success should be equally shared.
First Amendment:
The right to free speech is one held very dear at TSV, and while it has been an important issue we reserve the right to allow the same opportunity to others. Comments are accepted, however, we ask that all comments be kept clean and free of abusive and offensive language. If it is not, we reserve the right to either withhold or edit any comments that are in violation.
Second Amendment:
TSV views the right to bear arms as just that, a right. A right that should never be tested or abused.
Armed Forces:
The United States Armed Forces are the greatest in the world. For many years, and in many ways the armed services have been tested and have overcome any obstacle in their way. In the future, TSV will continue to support its brothers and sisters serving currently, as well as the veterans.
Family:
The highest priority in life, second to a relationship with Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. Family is truely the greatest gift.
Thank you for your time in stopping by and being a part of THE VOICE. Please leave a comment, as they are much appreciated.
Under this present administration, known as the “Dispensation of the Grace of God,” the Apostle of the Gentiles, Paul, states this in Romans 12:18:”If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
Query: Is it “possible?”
For the first time in my life after an election, I feel as if my country has been taken from the people. What is happening in Washington is making me feel helpless and hopeless. How can everything have gotten so out of control that we have people in power who want to desecrate our Constitution and the rights of the people to govern? We are being railroaded into social policies without our consent. Our voices have been taken from us by a powerful money entity, which bought the White House and the Congress. God help us and God Bless America.
Dear friend Jack Davis,
Read verse 12:17 – recompensing evil for evil would be ‘not’ speaking God’s Word – for God’s Word is Ultimately the opposite of evil. And tgo provide things honest in the sight of all men would also be ultimately God’s Word.
So if you ultimately give out God’s Word to others and they accept it – then yes ‘both’ wil live peaceably with each other, but if they don’t, then there is no peace for the wicked saith The Lord.
Isa 48:20-22
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
KJV
Stay ultimately with God’s Word and yes in Christ we all shall live peaceably with all men. Remembering that Jesus Christ in a soul ‘is True peace’.
Love in Christ Jesus,
Connie
Jack,
In short, it’s a matter of knowing who is the chaldeans and who is The Lord God’s servert Jacob.
Hint: God’s Servant Jacob are the ‘all men’ and they are not ‘the swine and the dog’.
David Hall,
You said:
Yes, let’s enlarge the work crew, and tolerate the views of others, but not at the expense of tamping down the essentiality of looking to the Lord who has blessed and prospered our Land, who Himself has said, “without Me ye can do nothing” (John 15:15).
___________________
Yes, ‘but not,…’
For if we exclude The Only Begotten Son of God – Jesus Christ, there is no honest compassion toward one another and no peace but only a false peace.
God bless you David.
In Christ your sister in The Fear of The Lord Jesus,
Connie

Thank you to all who have commented. Please continue to openly discuss these things, and come back often as we will discuss these very issues – the 9 and the 12 – in a more intimate sense.
______________
See folks, they want you to continue to openly discuss because ‘these’ (who are lusting over dialogue) must circumvent the ‘right and wrong’ of God’s Law. And how do they believe they do that by ‘open discussion’ – Dialogue – they must get everyone to ‘practice theory’ to have the false one world order.
David S. you are following as Glenn is – a false ‘peace and safety’.
Friend, repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ whom the Father sent to save the world. And there is “not” another ‘word’ to save it. No ‘dialogue’ (words, words, words) will save mankind – the village of mankind will not save, only Jesus Christ and His Blood shed on the Cross has. Be ye converted and be ye saved David S.
If I do not tell you the truth I shall be a liar like you – I will be speaking the same words as you, but it is The Word of God – God’s Only Begotten Son which saves to the Utter Most; Jesus “Is” LORD, and it is *not* any other person or ‘collective group’.
In Love,
Connie
Hello, sister Connie.
Sunday is anything but a day of rest for me, but it certainly is a labor of love. I just came home from a day of ministry, where I have the weekly, unbridled privilege of preaching the Gospel. I thank the Lord for the open door to do so, as I urge all who will trust the Lord Jesus to receive Him as Savior. I try to be sensitive to those who are not inclined to do so, realizing that I can do more damage than good by speaking in a way that alienates the ones I am trying to reach. Connie, I have no difficulty understanding why you refuse to give any ground to those who do not carry the banner of Jesus Christ boldly, acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior, bringing Him to the forefront of every conversation, and marginalizing every other issue as unimportant. In the light of eternity that makes perfect sense. We differ somewhat on approach in this respect, sister. While we should not yield any ground that compromises the Gospel, I don’t want to alienate those who are not able to receive the blunt force of the Gospel at this time. There ARE commmon points of interest that I believe you and I have with those who do not share our view of the necessity to receive Christ. We both enjoy the liberty of expressing ourselves in this way without the gestapo-like hammer knocking down our door with their “fairness doctrine” mandate. We can appeal to a large base of people who think it is immoral to kill innocent babies who should have been protected in the process of birth. God HATES the shedding of innocent blood. California surprised the nation when they voted to identify marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Thank the Lord! Glenn Beck is catching a lot of heat for even daring to cite that a belief in God and the centrality of God in our life are principles essential to our success as a nation. I want to support him on that point and have a voice in this forum regarding our national welfare, safeguarding the liberties that our forefathers cemented in place that allow me to impact our world for good. I am mindful of our Savior’s sensitivity when He said, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). I know by telling you these things that I certainly risk alienating you and incurring your displeasure and reproof, but I do believe that I am speaking the truth in love. In humility I only ask that you “consider what I say; and the Lord give you understanding in all things” (2 Timothy 2:7). God bless you.
To All:
Thanks for your comments and thoughts! Please keep up the discussion as it can only help to educate ourselves to know what our fellow man is.
To those who want to shut down dialogue:
Is this not the problem that our country has been faced with? The shutting down of critical thought and public discourse? Shame should fall to you, as you have tried to shut the voice of reason. The fruit of this country is Freedom, and one of those freedoms is free speech. Another, free thought. We have been quited for years – and not just one group of people, but all different directions – and now that everyone is “allowed” to speak up, we must be quiet? No. That is what got us to where we are now. Now, more than ever, we MUST speak up! We must use our freedoms fully, and speak against those who try to quiet them. We are endowed by a Creator, the very freedoms that America represents.
Learn to walk before you run! Learn to think before you speak!
Thank you vor visiting.
Dear all,
I have tried to stimulate a dialogue along many avenues here, but it seems that only an insider group talking about their specific faith base dominates. They see no solutions to be found unless everyone embraces that specific faith, and so leave no quarter but that. Though I see their point, that the lack of morality is the problem, they can’t concede that there are many avenues to the same source of Truth, and that we can coexist. In my experience, little or nothing can be accomplished in this world when one spiritual ideal attempts to reign supreme over another. I am disappointed, but can see no end to this. I will continue to monitor for a time to see if some substance can be found, but my postings seem to fly to the four winds.
If and when the second coming arrives, it will find me trying to make the world a better place, not sitting on my fat laurels in judgment. Love and respect tempered with understanding is the key to our survival, not what I’m reading here.
Ken LaRive
It is worse than anyone can imagine.Think things are bad? Think sinister. I’ve recently come across things that scared and saddened me..but feel it’s very important we all know about this. People can decide for their selves whether they chose to believe it or not…please look up the following: “Zietgiest, the movie, final edition, revised”. Also “Project Rex 84, FEMA concentration camps”, and “Chemical trails making people sick” You will find and can watch videos on these on you tube.
Ken, you are absolutely correct. The hope for this thread was not to push one faith over another. But, to rather get a respectfull dialogue going. The problem I see is that TOO many people don’t understand – or either understand but still want to sell their’s – is that we are all endowed by a Divine Providence, and who you choose Him to be is your Right.
I hope that you will stay around and comment on future topics. I will tell you in advance, that I will soon post about how Faith helped in the Founding of America.
Again, thanks to all.
David Hall,
——I try to be sensitive to those who are not inclined to do so, realizing that I can do more damage than good by speaking in a way that alienates the ones I am trying to reach.
——John 3:17-21
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
KJV
Dialogue is of the world system.
God’s way is as Christ Jesus – your preach and teach the gospel, you don’t dialogue it and especially with those who want to join all religions in the ‘dialogue’ when you do that you destroy men’s lives. We are not here to win friends and influence people – it is not about sensitivity-training. It is men’s of love their evil deeds which alienates them from Jesus Christ, it’s easy to turn that around as you did. Repent David Hall you have fallen into the trap of dialogue verses being a Witness and then knowing the God will increase the seed or not. If you want to destroy revelation – you get everyone into dialogue. And that is what this blog and David S. is all about – a facilitator in this new world order. Wake up David Hall, you are dialoguing with false prophets who want ~you to change~. Remember psalm 1 and forget it not. But warn and move on – (dust your feet).
Preach and teach the Gospel and if they don’t receive you, ‘dust your feet’ and let God sentence.
I have ‘dusted my feet’ from here.
Good bye.
Ken, Jesus has already told you this:
John 8:21-27
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
KJV
Repent and believe the Gospel or what Jesus ‘hath said’ will come upon you.
Good bye Ken, I dust my feet from you.
To David Hall,

David Hall,
One more thing this is what The Holy Spirit moved Paul to say when it comes to 2 Tim: 2:7 and it is not what you said. Don’t compromise God’s Word to make it say what you ‘think or feel’ it should say – like Rick Warren does.
My Father’s Spirit moved Paul to say:
2 Tim 2:1-7
2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
KJV
David Hall,
This is what my Father’s Holy Spirit moved Paul to say about verse 7 – and it ‘is not’ what you made it out to be. Your in the world of “I think, I feel, it seems to be, etc.”. Remember God’s Word is not Pschology – it is not of a perverse mind.
But My Father said:
2 Tim 2:1-7
2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
KJV
David Hall,
Don’t hold hands with the world, Christ is coming back for “His Bride”.
Dear One-lamb-
Well, you did it!
You are indeed the last one standing. I especially liked the part where you dusted your feet on me. Took a lot of Love to say that, and I’m sure it was for my own good. Amazing that you expel all man-made communication and yet you keep layer after layer of comments coming yourself. Is it also God’s word that you alone can hear, that you alone can speek?…to stand between people who want to make this world a better place?
I have spent a bit of time in India and there is a Hindi thought process similar to yours. It is called MAYA. Simply put, it states that everything in this life is an illusion. You have achieved Nirvana!
Well, I wish you the best one-lamb. It must be a lonely place for you here on earth having found truth in a world of fools.
If you can’t connect, you can always just keep talking, and of course dusting your feet on anyone different will open a lot of doors for you too. I’m kidding.
Blue skies, to see far,
Ken LaRive
One-lamb,
I’m sure that the little girl who never made four down the street will have her suffering explained to her when she arrives in heaven. Do you think that Jesus will reunite her with her left leg they had to amputate? Perhaps in spirit only…
Will it be allowed to communicate with her in heaven? Will it then be okay to take away her pain, her fever, and was it okay in her delirium to ask for her mother? Was it okay to beg her mother to keep her alive? That is a fun memory. What little faith she had! Was it okay to put your arm around them both those last hours, to tell them meaningless nothings in strong word reflections that showed strength, to find the strength to die a noble death? Was it okay to hold her still dimpled hand, even when it turned cold? Should I have dusted my feet on her knowing she would be with Jesus and nothing I could do or say would help? Should I feel guilt when I felt something good deep inside as her crying and screaming finally stopped?
I look over what you have written and can find no connection to what I see relevant in this life. What we do has meaning, and those who try to make the world a better place has true salvation.
Jesus will have a special place for you in haven. I think it will resemble something like a cardboard box. I have seen a lot of pain around the world, but nothing is more painful but to have a person like you to say that connections are meaningless.
If you can’t make the world a better place, get out of the way for those who want to.
Ken La Rive
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

While what you say intrigues me, being ‘dyslexic” is not something that is wrong or backwards.
Please use caution, this can bring out feelings of prejudice, one in 5 people are dyslexic.
In fact, President Obama himself may actually be dyslexic! He is left-handed and his halting speech pattern is suggestive of a processing disorder.
What a hateful little shit you are.
Bout damn time you got back! Hope the move went well an congrats on the new home!
Thanks CT! Very excited to be back to it. I have some great ideas, and I hope they get noticed and are well recieved.
Progression doesn't come without some heart-ache, and while being away for what seems like and eternity, my heart did ache.
It is absurd to think that a United States president should be campaigning for the olympics when we have so many issues here at home to deal with. The fact is, Obama needs to realize that he is not God and won’t always get his way. I think its wonderful he failed in his appeals. He needs to focus on the issues at home not on making his last year in office a good one for Chicago. (Yes, he will be a one term president, he is our generation’s Jimmy Carter)
You are so correct. I agree with you whole-heartedly. With what we are faced with as a nation today, and what we have endured while Obama has been in office (however short it may be) the last thing he should be doing is pleading for the Olympics to be held in Chicago. This is something that should have been handed off to someone else to handle. Maybe he should have been sitting down with Military top brass to decide on a direction to follow in Afghanistan. (I hope to write more on this very soon.) My point is the same as your point – There are far greater things to be worried about as President than begging for the hosting title for the 2016 Games.
I don’t know what kind of health care reform will come out of this session, but I strongly suspect it won’t be much. There is, however a silver lining behind this very dark cloud. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Don’t be embarrassed if you’ve never heard of it, there really isn’t a hell of a lot to remember about it; a mere pittance, really – a scrap of leftovers tossed out to “American Negros” (in the parlance of the age) in order to appease them. But it made the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – the one we remember – all-the-more easier seven years later.
We’ll live to fight another day.

Well spoken!! At least we can still say and read things like this (for now)
There is an old country saying that describes what Obams’s Nancy and gang are trying to sell us: “A pig in a poke.”
This idiom supposedly originated long ago when meat was a rare delicacy. Instead of buyers getting an unseen wiggling pig in an unopened bag… they were surprised to find a cat or rat after a purchase had been finalized.
Words in a bill that have never been read by most concerned citizens, and the consequences to society upon passage is a “risk” that only lovers of folly would engage in without guilt. Those who are likely to suffer will not be politicians. They take better care of themselves than the “servants” who are paying their salaries.
How true that is. My concern is that, while this bill is so large, there won’t be time for anyone to read it. I don’t know if “risk” is enough to explain it, and I agree with you that the politicians won’t suffer one bit, save it be their own jobs.
As a moderate republican, I believe in smaller government, but somehow the new republican party has forgotten what smaller is, or what is the role of government. A war on terror costing 100’s of billions of dollars, and takes away my privacy, in order to defeat terrorists who were armed with box cutters. A common sense lockable entry into the pilot’s compartment would have avoided this whole mess. Two wars of choice. One we never knew the real reason why it was launched. The other we will never know when we have succeeded in our mission. Senator Taft (1950) was right. The last “good war” was WWII, because we knew what we were fighting for, and everybody shared in the sacrifice. As the tragedy at Fort Hood proved, what are we doing to those brave men and women who sacrifice their all for us? They go back to a war zone two, three, four times, and have a increasingly high rate of mental illness. When will their mission be accomplished? If there was a Draft would we be fighting these wars?
The mixing of church and state, going into my bedroom, and telling my wife what she can and can’t do with her body. Even I can’t do that and Thomas Jefferson would never approve of this. America was founded because we have a right to privacy and the right to be secure in our own homes. While I do not have the responsibility to pay for private elective medical procedures that I consider immoral, I do not have the right to interfere with the private choices of others, which do not involve the government.
Huge multi-national corporations have the rights of an individual, and effect my life more than the government ever has. Yet they are too big to fail, and I pay to bail them out. Small retailers can not compete with Wal-mart, who is so big they get special deals from Chinese companies which are unavailable to others. Wall Street enriches itself with actions that destroys peoples lives and the economy. Yet, my party tells me they can not be regulated and controlled by the only institution which can match them in size, wealth, and power. The only proper role of Government is to do what we as individuals can not do for ourselves. We do not live in a capitalist society, we live in a corporate society, with the rich getting richer, the poor struggling to survive, and the middle class disappearing as they join the ranks of the poor. The former abuses of government are are greatly overshadowed, by these corporations which have no loyalty to any country, or people.
My heart and prayers go out to all the victims family and friends.
From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.
The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?)
Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real ticked me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.
The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me.
I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.
This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.
I really hope that President Obama focuses more on convincing Congress to provide necessary resources to purchase the bullet proof vests our soldiers must have to survive
I also just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks to all that served our country.
thestaffordvoice.com is very informative. The article is very professionally written. I enjoy reading thestaffordvoice.com every day.
Thank You….for always saying what you feel and believe! You will help so many people with your kind words! Your words of wisdom and understanding!
Very interesting phenomena going on. This is a hard stance for Christian groups as diverse in background as these to be taking and quite frankly surprising. I mean this in a good way though.
How right you are. It is rather interesting that such a diverse group was able to take such a strong stance in the midst of these days. I only wish this was done a year or so ago. I think things would be dramatically different.
Also, it would be very interesting to know how the various demographics perceive this and embrace it.
Happy Thanksgiving, bro!
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends as well!
This stuff is unbelievable. Might as well live under the mandates of Hugo Chavez. Never in my life have I felt as frustrated and powerless to stop or change anything. This is not the United States of America anymore.
Sid, have no fear! This is still the United States of America. That will NEVER change. Do not be discouraged. Things will soon work out – I hope.
Thanks for your comments and for stopping by.
Yes you are right with your basic supposition of failure but dead wrong with your reasoning. Afhganistan is a failure under Bush for the reason that you give, minimalistic approach too troop levels. Do you remember the firing of General Shenseki for disagreeing on Bush and Rumsfelds ideas of troop levels? They blew it and our initial advantage was destroyed long ago. No conquer has ever taken Afghanistan.
You twist the words of President Eisenhower who prophetically was correct. He was in a position to know what he was talking about. Eisenhower was talking about the misplaced power in the unelected military industrial complex which is today corrupting our elected officials with lobbying money.
This country is bankrupt, when are the war mongers going to realize the Empire is in it’s death throws?
KAK, first I would like to thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Second, I greatly agree with you about how Bush mismanaged Afghanistan. Trust me when I say this, I don’t think going into Afghanistan was a wise thing to do. Unlike the administrations have done, and how you nailed it when you said that “no conquer has ever taken Afghanistan,” people tend to forget that one of the best weapons in war is history. The problem with what Obama is doing, is that it is the same as what Bush did.
Third, I can see the point you are making with the Eisenhower quote. However, as much as money does tend to talk, lobby members are not the one’s making the decisions, but rather they are trying to influence it their way. The elected officials are the ones who ultimately make the decisions.
A failing leader, not only fails himself, but also those who are following.
Thanks, Daniel, for keeping the troops in your thoughts as we move into the new year.
I also just wanted to compliment you on the overall layout and appearance of The Stafford Voice. It’s very clean-looking, incorporates images/graphics nicely–very professional & attractive blog.
Thanks for your kind words. Also, thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from and seeing you around again.
They were not the only window company listed actually.
About $100M was allocated for potential tax credits for glass and window manufacturers of which 7 were listed. All of them are listed on the Serious Materials blog and in the fed award document that is published.
Serious qualified for 0.5% of that, if they spend $1.5M on equipment and create jobs in the next 4 years. The other window and glass companies qualified for 99.5% of it.
Doesn’t sound like much cronyism here.
Sounds like for all the good Serious has done, they got the short end of the stick.
Moreover, in the IRS review it shows an independent group was hired, not affiliated with DOE or IRS to choose the 183 companies included. DOE had no involvement.
The company posted a blog with the facts that Stossel refused to air, like Zoi did not even work for the DOE when the VP toured one of their plants (and he has toured 57 plants in the US in the past year):

Thank you for the added information.
The NEOCONS, RINOS and their obedient sheep are in for a rude awakening. More and more people now see them for what they are. Much like people now laugh at the ridiculous propaganda of the Soviet Union they will laugh at anyone that criticizes Mr. Ron Paul. The giant has awakened, the house of cards will fall to the thunder of its voice and footsteps.
I usually don’t normally post on many Blogs, however I just has to say thank you for Daily Dose #23 | The Stafford Voice… keep up the amazing work. Ok unfortunately its time to get to school.
