We Need To March

"Words without actions are the assassins of idealism." ~ Herbert Hoover

I've been thinking. I was listening to the Alan Colmes radio program a few days ago, and he was literally laughing at a Liberal caller who mentioned she was planning on joining a "march on Washington". He asked her what she hoped to accomplish by marching on Washington, and the poor, misguided woman couldn't answer his question. She didn't know. She just wanted to be part of something. He went on to explain that these marches and rallies on Washington never accomplish anything. 

That started me thinking.

Alan Colmes is wrong! Actually, it was the anti-war marches and rallies in Washington that motivated Nixon to surrender in Vietnam. They really do work! 

With that in mind, I've decided that possibly, if we can get enough people involved, we could motivate Congress to start impeachment proceedings against Obama, and maybe even convince them to repeal Obamacare, do whatever is necessary to prevent illegal immigration, stop this reckless overspending, etc.

Liberal mobs have been marching and protesting since at least the 60's and they have been effective at making changes in governmental and public policies, and they are still making big differences. Look, for instance, at the "gay rights" movement. How else could 1-2% of the population force lawmakers into passing laws that effectively violate our first amendment right to free exercise of religion?

Mobs. You'd think after 5-6 decades Conservatives would learn.

It's high time Conservatives adopt these tactics. We need to march on Washington. We need to stage rallies, We need to break windows. We need to make noise. We need to do whatever it takes to turn our country around and return it to the Constitutional Republic the founders envisioned. We need to hound our Representatives until they acquiesce. 

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Yes, I know we have the tea party, but frankly, the tea party is too polite. That's why they are marginalized. We Conservatives need to get rude and loud, and force these lawmakers to do the job we elected them to do.

Some Thoughts On The Zimmerman Trial

George Zimmerman is a dead man.

Whether he is killed by some racist thug in retaliation for the death of Trayvon Martin, or by his own hand, he is, effectively, a dead man.

The New Black Panthers have placed a $10,000.00 bounty on his head (dead or alive), his address, phone number, and even his social security number have been posted on the internet.

Obama, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton have pronounced him guilty regardless of the verdict, and all their willing accomplices in the media are fanning the flames.

He can run, and he will, but he cannot hide.

He will probably not live to the end of the year.

This is a photo of George Zimmerman taken when the verdict in his trial was announced.

 Is this the face of a man who is happy?

Does he look haughty or proud?

 Does this look even reflect relief that his ordeal is finally over?

No, this is the face of a man who knows his trouble is just beginning.

I would say all these idiots that still proclaim his guilt will someday have to answer to their Creator for their arrogance in presuming Zimmerman to be guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but they don't care. All they care about is fomenting racial hatred and division.

I feel for George Zimmerman.

 George Zimmerman dated a black girl in high school. He even took her to the prom. He defended a homeless black man against the police. He tutored black children in his home in his free time.

That is not the face of a racist.

However, thanks to the race baiters and our racist President all the way down to the Prosecutor and Judge that tried him, along with their willing accomplices in the media, he might well be a racist now.

Who would blame him?

 Anyone who still believes George Zimmerman is a racist or a murderer or a racist murderer in spite of all the evidence to the contrary is an idiot.

God Is Love, But Love Is Not God

"Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me." ~ Exodus 20:3

Neil Simpson, of Eternity Matters blog, often blogs opposition to gay marriage, or, as he calls it, "oxymoronic same sex marriage", a more accurate description. He correctly points out there are no verses or passages anywhere in the Bible that refer to homosexual relationships in an affirmative way. The only times the Bible mentions homosexuality is to call it sin.

  God is Love, but Love is not God. Neither should Love ever be confused with Lust.

Homosexual activists' (and their supporters) argue that God would somehow approve of the homosexual lifestyle as long as it is a "loving" relationship. And, they are right to say two people in love have every right to get married. 

The problem with that argument is this: Two men or two women cannot love each other in the way a heterosexual couple can. What they're doing is confusing love with lust. In Romans 1, Paul testifies that because men had iniquity in their hearts, and rejected God, "God gave them up unto vile affections: for even the women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another."

Read that again. They burned in their lust.

Just as there is no verse or passage in the bible that refers to homosexuality favorably, there is no verse that equates lust and love. None.

Lust should never be confused with love. They are not the same.

But this is exactly what homosexuals and their enablers do. 

I have often said homosexuality violates seven of the ten Commandments. What is the first Commandment? 

"Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."

When anyone places more importance on their own selfish desires than they do God, they have made those desires their God. That violates the first commandment. 

Homosexuals make lust their God.

 I have often said I don't care if homosexuals marry each other or not, as long as they don't insist I approve.

Why do I say that? Because, marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It is never a union between anything else. be it two men, two women, man and animal, more than two of any gender, etc, therefore, what homosexuals do is not a marriage, no matter how many times they insist it is.

All this is not to say I personally hate homosexuals. I don't. I don't even dislike them. In fact, the ones I know personally, I like very much. I consider them friends. I will go so far as to say I love them, as I should. With brotherly love. And, yes, Agape Love.

But I do not lust after them.

What person, if he sees his friend about to willfully commit an act of self destruction would not do whatever he can to prevent his friend from destroying himself? 

What kind of friend would encourage, and even help his friend destroy himself? 

Yet that is exactly what homosexual activists and their supporters are doing when they encourage homosexuals to continue to violate God's precepts. 

I'm sorry, but that is not the actions of a friend.

When I write these posts, I am not writing out of hate for homosexuals. I am under an obligation to God to reach homosexuals for Christ, and to save them from themselves.

God is, in fact, Love. But, Love is not God. 

Those who support the homosexual agenda need to understand that concept.

An Inspirational Poem

My Mother passed away on March 28 this year at the age of 92. My oldest brother, who is a retired foreign missionary,  preached her memorial service, and, during his sermon, he mentioned a poem my mother had written.

Today, another of my brothers sent me an e-mail. He had found Mom's poem, so I thought I'd share it with you here:

Song Of The Butterfly

I crawled upon a mirror

And sighed, in deep distress.

But Mama said, "Remember,

God's not finished with you yet!"

And so I waited, day by day,

But thought 'twould never be

That God could e'er make anything

Of a miserable worm like me.

But then, one day, would you believe?

My ugly coat, so dull and dry,

Fell off, and underneath were wings

And I found that I could fly!

And now, the sky's my limit

I praise the Lord on high!

His perfect plan completed--

Now I'm a butterfly!

Even if you think you've failed,

Be patient. Wait and see

What God can do, for He alone

Knows all that you can be.

Obama's Silence

"A Liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment." ~ Willis Player 

Three times, while a state Senator in Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama, voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. This act would have provided medical care for  babies who survived abortion attempts. Not only did Obama vote against the legislation, he argued passionately in favor of killing live babies.

You'll no doubt remember how quickly Obama rushed to make a statement after a black university professor complained of police harassment, saying the police, "acted stupidly". 

Then there was the Trayvon Martin case. It only took a month before Obama inserted himself into that case. Remember? He famously said, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin", which inflamed racial tension, in spite of absolutely no evidence there was any racism involved in the case. 

After the Sandy Hook massacre, it was a mere four hours before Obama launched himself into the gun control controversy. 

 Unfortunately, every time Obama makes a statement, he comes down on the wrong side of the fence.

The case of the murderous Kermit Gosnell has been covered by Conservative media and Conservative blogs for twenty seven months, and his trial is ongoing. Conservatives have been asking ad nauseum, "Why isn't Obama saying anything about this tragedy?"

The answer to that question can be found above in the first paragraph. And, yes, it is that simple.

Richard Armour defines a "mugwump" as  someone who sits with their mug on one side of the fence, and their wump on the other. 

Obama isn't a mugwump. He's just a wump.

Gun Control

"The one clear thread that unites all the mass murders currently being exploited by the Democrats is that they were committed by visibly crazy people who were unaccountably not institutionalized." ~ Ann Coulter

I think many times, certain legislation introduced by Liberals is too often dismissed by Conservatives simply because it was proposed by a Liberal. Just like a broken clock that is right twice a day, sometimes Liberals have good ideas. Such is the case with asking for background checks before a gun purchase.

 Background checks wouldn't prevent gun violence, of course, but they couldn't hurt.

I also don't think anything in anyone's background should prevent a gun purchase except for a history of mental illness.

Guns, as we have often been reminded, don't kill people, but crazy people use guns to kill people. Ann Coulter, in her latest column, points out that the Sandy Hook shooting is only the latest in a series of mass murders that have been carried out by crazy people. 

All of these latest mass murders have been committed by crazy people. 

If crazy people can be prevented from buying guns, there is a chance that some mass murders can be prevented. Not a big chance, I emphasize, but a chance.

Now. Imagine that there is a background check to check for mental illness required to purchase a gun. Even if the prospective gun owner doesn't have a history of mental illness, that would require a waiting period.

A waiting period is a minor inconvenience, but it could prevent other types of shootings

 Now imagine a disgruntled employee who gets angry enough at his boss  to want to kill him.  He goes to a gun shop, purchases a gun, and shoots up his place of business.

Many of these types of crimes are committed by someone who is not necessarily crazy, but is angry enough to suspend reason. That kind of angry subsides in time. A waiting period would prevent some crimes committed in the heat of passion. 

No doubt mass murders will still happen. Crazy people can get guns in other ways, and in fact, usually do. Adam Lanza stole his mother's gun. Guns can be purchased on street corners illegally. And, guns can be stolen. 

So, mass shootings will still happen even with background checks. 

At the worst, requiring a background check specifically for a history of mental illness is an inconvenience

But, it can't hurt.

What's Happening

"When peace, like a river, attendeth my way. 
When sorrows, like sea billows roll. 
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, 
'It is well, it is well with my soul'" ~ Horatio Spafford*

Some of my readers likely already know this, but since last November, I have neglected my blogging in favor of posting my thoughts on Facebook. Facebook has allowed me to get in touch with old friends and acquaintances from my past, such as high school friends and people who grew up in the same neighborhood as I did. It has been, overall, a wonderful experience, and many of those long lost acquaintances have become close friends. Many of them I didn't even know well back then.

On the other hand, posting my thoughts, especially my thoughts on religion and politics, on Facebook have made enemies of some of my old respected friends and relatives, and that is an unfortunate consequence I never intended.

Recently, my brother told me he wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't on the Secret Service's "people to watch" list for all my political Facebook posts. 

So, I'm back blogging. My blog doesn't automatically appear on everyone's newsfeed  whether they like it or not. I think a blog is a better medium for political thoughts.

OK. This is what's been happening: My short term memory is not so good, so I won't go all the way back to November, and will only highlight the major events in my life since March. 

In March of this year, two major events were going on around here. One good, one not. 

1. The men's basketball team from the college I attended, Wichita State University, earned a spot in the NCAA basketball tournament, and actually advanced all the way to the final four teams before finally losing to Louisville University, thanks to a couple of bad calls by the referees near the end. We lost by a mere 4 points. Louisville eventually won the championship by six points over Michigan. Personally, I believe that tells us something. I leave it to my readers to ascertain what.

2. My 92 year old mother, who has been in a care home since last year, took a rather sudden turn for the worse. While her memory has been slipping somewhat for the past few years, she suddenly began getting more and more confused. I visited her at the home every week. Up until March 14, she had been almost as sharp as ever, but on that day, I found her wheeling her wheelchair out of the care home dining room as if she were going back to her room, but she was going the opposite direction. When I tried to wheel her back to her room, she placed her hands on the wheels and said, "No!" But, she couldn't tell me what she wanted, She would start to say something, and then it was as if she forgot what she started to say.

This was distressing for me, because she had always been so strong, so smart, and now, she was slipping. Fast. She was awake and talking, but the light in her eyes was no longer there.I finally got her back into her room, and conversation between us was short. She wasn't thinking clearly. I told her I loved her and she told me she loved me, too, but when I attempted to leave, she pleaded with me to stay. "Don't leave me", she said. But I really had to go, and I felt horrible about having to leave. In retrospect, I guess I should have just stayed there until she fell asleep. Under the circumstances I know my wife would have understood why I wasn't home in time. I still feel a little guilty about that.

The next week she seemed improved, and we had a better conversation. Twice, though, she said, "I want to go home." I didn't know if she was talking about her earthly home or her heavenly home and she didn't explain. All I could think of to say in reply was, "I know,  Mom." At this point Mom had a moment of clarity. She kind of smiled and looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Oh, how do you know that?"

The next week, I received a call from my brother, telling me I had better come to the home, because it looked m  like Mom might not live through the day. I went, and found her lying in bed comatose, and, except for occasionally squeezing my hand, unresponsive. She didn't die that day, in fact, she lived another week, and finally, on March 28, she passed quietly into eternity to walk with Jesus. 

I am not sad. I am rather envious of her, in a way.

The same evening my Mom passed away, The Shockers defeated the AP number one ranked team in the nation, Gonzaga, propelling them into the "Elite Eight" in the NCAA tournament. I watched it on television. That was fun.

 Immediately after the game, I heard strange noises coming from my bedroom. Investigating, I found my wife lying across the bed, flat on her back, her head tilted back, her eyes and mouth open, and she was making noises, alternately snoring with each intake of breath, and a kind of whining sound with each outtake. I couldn't wake her up, and I began to be concerned so I called 911. Shortly the paramedics arrived, and, in short order, determined her blood sugar was dangerously low. It registered 31. They administered glucose or sucrose or some kind of sugary substance through IV and brought her around, and then, transported her to the hospital. 

I lost my mother, and nearly lost my wife in the same day! My wife spent the next three days in the hospital and I was able to bring her home on Easter Sunday. She was able to attend my mother's memorial service with me the following Thursday.

Mom's memorial service was a celebration service. She was so close to the Lord throughout her lifetime that no one has any doubts she is in Heaven now, and  my entire family is happy for her. There were no tears shed at her service except tears of joy. My oldest brother, a retired foreign missionary and pastor, officiated at her graveside service. All of my 5 brothers and sisters came from all over the country to participate in Mom's last farewell.  

It was the first time since 1979 all 6 of us were together at the same time in the same place. What a blessing it was to be able to get together and swap memories and jokes with them all!

All in all, a very eventful March. 

Let's hope April and the rest of this year go better. I will resume my introspective political posts later.

*I requested "It is Well" be played at my Mother's service. It is my favorite hymn, and I want it to be played at mine.

America Is Doomed

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" ~ Edmund Burke

Unfortunately, Mr. Burke's quotation was a prediction that has come true. Good men have done nothing, or at least, not enough to change the inevitable. I have recently come to the conclusion that Conservatism is doomed. There will be no more Conservative Republican Presidents. Evil has triumphed.

Here are my reasons:

 1. Illegal aliens. The Democrats are within reach of legalizing illegal aliens. It is only a matter of time. There aren't enough Conservative voices out there to stop them. Polls show illegal aliens, if allowed to vote in the United States' elections, would vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Democrats have been pushing "immigration reform". This is a term meaning illegals attaining American citizenship without having to go through the legal process. Legalizing illegal aliens will create a block of Democrat voters that will make any and all Democrat candidates unbeatable.

 2. Voter fraud. Even without the illegal alien vote, Democrats have the majority of the votes in elections sewn up, as long as they can prevent any more states from instituting voter ID laws. In the last Presidential election, the only states with majority votes cast for the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, were the states that had voter ID laws. Every state that Obama carried did not have them. The reason Democrats are so opposed to voter ID laws is because those laws make it much more difficult to commit voter fraud. If an individual voter is allowed to vote multiple times for one candidate because they aren't required to prove who they are, and required to prove they already voted once, especially if hundreds, or even thousands are doing it, their candidate will win. Thus, Democratic candidates are assured victory.

 3. Public school indoctrination. Even if, somehow, Democrats fail to legalize illegal aliens, and even if all the states have voter ID laws (which won't happen), there are other guarantees that voters will vote Democrat candidates into office. Many of the current voters are baby boomers, or older. The voters who actually understand why Communism is anti-liberty are dying out.The government school system has been working diligently to create Democrats in numbers unparalleled. They use revisionist history and push socialism as a preferred system of government. Public schools have been teaching students what to think and not how to think for a couple of decades now. They are turning out low information and Democrat voters in astonishing numbers.

 4. The Media. The media are complicit in this re-education of America. If they report anything detrimental to Democrats at all they twist it and spin it to make it appear as if the Republicans are the bad guys. Any news that would harm the Democrat agenda is either under reported or ignored. The only way the Conservative message will be heard by the under informed voters (which is rapidly becoming the majority), is by accident. Political Facebook posts and posts on other social media such as twitter, etc, are the only way the truth is getting out there and getting any exposure to the public. Unfortunately, people who participate in such social media are free to "unfriend" or ignore messages that are unpleasant. If they'd rather read recipes and look at pictures of cats, they can do that and never have to think at all.

 I hate to say this, but it appears the only hope for this country now, is to let Socialism win. Once this country is totally Communist, these same low information Democratic voters will finally understand what oppression and loss of liberty and freedom really means. Once the realization of what the people have done to themselves sets in, the only ultimate solution is revolt.

A Change That Offers No Hope

“The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principle device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get and to promise to give it to them.” – H.L. Mencken

All of these opinions and theory's of why Obama won and Romney lost are getting us nowhere. The whole and only reason why Romney lost the election, clearly, is massive voter fraud. 

The evidence is ubiquitous. 

Incidents of voter fraud are like cockroaches. If you see one, you know there are thousands more behind the baseboards. And, so far, there is evidence of massive voter fraud nationwide.

 There's the Facebooker who bragged that he's already voted 5 times for Obama and plans on voting more. 

Then, the thousands of votes cast over and above the number of actual registered voters in several states (states which, coincidentally, did not enact a photo ID requirement to register), and, curiously, mostly for Obama. 

Entire precincts that, strangely, had no votes cast for Romney at all! 

Not to mention those polling places that had armed Black Panthers standing at the entrances intimidating voters. 

These cannot be mere coincidences.

Unfortunately, there is little recourse. There is  little chance the votes will ever be recounted. 

There is no chance the system will ever be fixed so long as the election boards are controlled by a government that is corrupt from the President all the way down to the local dogcatcher.

That's my opinion.

So far, you can still feel free to disagree with me in this country, but one wonders how long we will still enjoy that freedom, and the others freedoms we currently take for granted, such as freedom of religion (not from religion) and the right to bear arms.

Enjoy your rights while you still have them.

If the unscrupulous can already control the election outcome, there's no stopping them from total control of the electorate

.

What I Don't Understand Part 2

What I don't understand is why so many otherwise intelligent American citizens don't get a simple concept: 

People who earn over $250,000 a year are the business owners; the ones that create the jobs. If taxes are raised on these business owners/job creators, they will not continue to offer their goods and services at the same prices. They will not accept losses in their bottom line, no matter how patriotic they are! And, that bottom line is profit. 

There are only two ways a business can recoup the loss of profit due to higher taxes: 

1. They will raise the prices on their goods and services. They will have to to keep their profit margin at the same levels as before the higher taxes were levied upon them. 

Do you think they will give themselves a cut in pay? Dream on, little Liberal. 

And, when they raise the prices on their goods and services, the consumer will not buy those goods or services as readily as they would have if the prices were still low, thus, making it necessary for the business owner to raise the prices yet again to compensate for the loss of sales. This cycle  will continue on and on and on until the business goes bankrupt and/or out of business, or, 

2. The business owner will begin to lay off employees because he can no longer afford to pay them. If that happens, there are less people employed and, consequently,  less people who can afford the higher prices started because the business owner had to pay ever increasing higher taxes. This will undoubtedly happen to enough business owners that it will have a lasting impact on each and everyone of us, the taxpaying public.

In the end, due to ever increasing taxes, higher and higher prices on goods and services, and more people on the unemployment rolls, the Government is all that is left to provide for the people. 

Now, here's a question for all you big Government loving Liberals:

How does the Government provide for the ever increasing number of newly unemployed and newly impoverished citizens? Where do they get the funds? 

Naturally, by increasing taxes on the rich again, which merely exacerbates the problem the Government was trying to solve in the first place.

Then, what do we have? Government trying to stretch all the revenue generated by less and less taxes collected from the few businesses fortunate enough to still be in business despite such a heavy burden of taxes and redistributed to take care of the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, that the Government itself put out of work. 

It will mean breadlines every bit as long as those that afflicted the Soviet Union in the mid 20th century.

Do you understand, Liberals? If you do, will you be so anxious to vote for a tax and spend Liberal again?

Sadly, I still don't think you get it yet. 

That's what I don't understand.

More Hope And Change

For the record: I don't believe the re-election of Obama is the end of America as we know it.

 I do believe we are in for some radical changes now that he has "more flexibility".

 In spite of our fears and apprehensions, I think the majority of Congress is still patriotic, and will only stand for his attempt to "fundamentally transform America" for so long, and then, they will see the what direction he is going and will stop supporting his Socialistic-Islamist policies.

 He cannot fundamentally change America into either of those anti-American states without the cooperation of the Congress, and while he has the support of most of the Democrat Representatives and Senators, there is only so much he can do and still have the amount of support he needs to accomplish his goal.

 Of course, he can still issue executive order after executive order to bypass Congress, but there is a limit to what he can get away with. Even the Congressmen who actively support his Liberal Socialistic agenda will not let him continue to make Congress irrelevant.

 They have their pride and aspirations, too. They won't take to being ignored for long.

 Then, there's all the allegations of corruption festering just outside the White House doors. He and his willing accomplices in the media can only fend off the truth for so long, and four years is a long time.

 The old adage, "Give him enough rope,and he will hang himself" comes to mind.

 We can no longer vote him out, but we can still impeach him out.

Why, Mr. Obama? Why?

I have not been posting blog entries for quite some time now, and that is because I've been posting my thoughts on Facebook. This morning, I posted the following comment on Facebook, and I thought I'd share it with those who don't follow me on Facebook. Besides, we need to get the word out in all forms of media we have available to us:

I know I promised my wife and my Facebook friends that I would try to be less political, but now, in the last few days before the general election, it is becoming more and more important (for me, at least) to get the word out on what we may expect should Obama be re-elected. Many "experts" are predicting a Romney win next week, but I can't be that sure. Because the main news networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC are not forthcoming on the essential facts surrounding the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya on Sept 11, of this year, I feel it's imperative that I do my part to educate those who would rather not know these "unpleasant facts", be they Democrat or Republican. It is a sad fact that some registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, would just rather let the politicians fight it out among themselves and let the chips fall where they may. 

I can't do that. 

People need to know, and they need to ask questions. Questions like, Why did our President refuse to help the besieged in Benghazi? We now know he was aware of the ongoing 7+ hour conflict in real time, and we know he was asked at least three times to send help, probably in time to rescue Ambassador Stevens and the others, but he refused. 

I have to ask why. And, as freedom loving American citizens, all of us need to ask the same question. 

Why did he stand down and do nothing to help our people in Libya? 

I've heard the opinions of those who oppose him, and I've also heard the explanation from those who were privy to the decision, and none of them make sense to me. 

Republicans say he did it to improve his chances to win re-election. But, in what universe would refusing to save dying American citizens help win an election? 

Democrats say they didn't send in help because they weren't sure what exactly was going on and didn't want to act until they were. That explanation sounds plausible. Yes, it sounds plausible --- until we learn that later reports reveal they (Obama included) knew exactly what was going on while it was happening. 

Here's something else that should make an Obama supporter ask questions:

Why did Obama blame an obscure Youtube video for the attacks in Libya when it is now clear that he knew all along the video had nothing to do with it? If I was an Obama supporter, that one fact alone would make me wonder if 4 more years of Obama would be worth the risk of voting for him again.

Boycott Me

“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage... I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about.” ~ Dan Cathy

The recent announced boycott of Chick-Fil-A by homosexual activists for statements that it's COO made is, I think, a good idea. I think they should boycott everybody that makes statements that offends them.

So, I want to announce right here that I believe homosexuals are perverts.

 Boycott me.

When you see me coming, go back into your closet. Stop bragging about your chosen sexual proclivities in my presence. Don't make out with each other where I can see you. Don't hold hands in front of me.

Boycott me.

You men (and I use the term loosely), stop swaying your hips when you walk, straighten out your wrists, dress like a man, quit talking like a woman. Stop lisping.

Boycott me.

You women (again, I use the term loosely), grow your hair out. Dress, walk, and talk like women. Wear makeup, high heels, and carry purses like normal women.

Boycott me.

These and all other overt acts of degeneration and perversion in my presence make me want to vomit. So stop.

For my physical health and well being, boycott me.

All of you homosexuals: Stop trying to convince me that you are normal and that your perversion is natural. It's annoying, and you'll never going to convince me anyway.

Boycott me and my progeny.

And, most importantly, stop trying to teach my children and grandchildren that it's just another normal and acceptable lifestyle.

 Boycott me.  

Yes, please. for God's sake, please, boycott me!

My Problem With Obamacare Part 1

"Let me be clear. No Government has any right to force anyone to buy anything under penalty of law. Period." ~ Me

Watch the following video.



 Here are some of the problems I  foresee when Obamacare goes into effect:

First,  he says I can keep my health insurance.  That is, if my health insurance company doesn't go bankrupt, or worse, out of business, because of the prohibitive costs of Government regulation and red tape. If they don't go out of business, the expenses incurred by all the regulations and  provisions demanded by the Obama administration's health insurance Department (yet another expense that will be borne by the tax payers), and, headed up by Obama's Insurance Czar, will necessarily make the costs of health insurance skyrocket, to the point where "middle class" Americans will not be able to afford their own insurance premiums.

So then, if the citizen can no longer afford their own health insurance premiums, Obama's plan will punish him with a tax. What if the citizen can't afford to pay the tax? Will he then have to go to jail?

He says our existing healthcare will be "more secure and affordable". How is this possible? As I've already explained, with all the new regulations and provisions, there is no way health insurance will be more affordable. And secure? Exactly how is higher costs and the threat of additional taxes, fines, and jail make us more secure?

There is also the possibility that Obama's new health insurance Czar will offer health insurance companies corporate tax breaks and incentives for their compliance. or possibly even to urge them to allow Obama to completely take over their industry (which, I believe, is the primary reason for Obamacare).

Nice for the insurance corporations, but who's going to foot the bill for these bribes? Do you suppose Obama will debit his personal bank account to pay them? No, I don't either.

Then, he says insurance companies can no longer impose limits on coverage or deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Well, that sounds just wonderful, doesn't it? But, how will that make health insurance more affordable?

Remember, health insurance companies are profit making entities.

The reason they haven't accepted pre-existing conditions up until now is because doing so would drive the costs of insurance premiums up to the point that only the super wealthy (and they can afford health care) can afford them.  Does anyone think insurance companies will pay the benefits covering those conditions without increasing premiums to cover the loss?

If you do, you're either naive or willfully ignorant.

This is going to have to be part 1. I have to go to work now. I will post more on this anon.

The Act Defines Them

"While we don't have much say over the desires that we have, we certainly can decide which we prefer-and then search for ways to act on that basis." ~ Daniel Akst

 Oh, here's a surprise... Not!

I've been saying this all along: If a man molests an underage boy, or a woman molests an underage girl, it is a homosexual act, by virtue of the gender of the offender.

It is absolutely incomprehensible that a heterosexual could molest a child of the same sex. Heterosexual men are simply not attracted to other males, regardless of age. Likewise heterosexual women.

I know homosexuals and their enablers like to claim that most (some even say all) men who molest boys are heterosexual, but it can't be true. Even if they appear to be heterosexual to others, as soon as they molest a child of the same sex, or indulge in child pornography, they are homosexual.

The act defines them. 

The same is true of men who claim they are bisexual. It doesn't matter if they are married, or are otherwise known as womanizers, or appear "macho". If they have sex with another man, they are homosexual.

And, homosexuality is deviancy.

Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines the word, "deviant" thus:

"different from what is considered to be normal or morally correct."

It is not normal for people to have sex with another person of the same sex. Nor is it morally correct. Because it is morally incorrect, it is not at all surprising that a homosexual would possess child pornography

. Morally incorrect people have a warped sense of morals, if they have any morals at all.

Homosexuality is abnormal behavior and not natural. Whether the other participant is a child or an adult. Whether the act is consensual. It is not normal. It is not natural. It is sick.

 "There is no difference in principle, between the economic philosophy of Marxism, Nazism, Socialism, Communism, and Fascism and that of the American Welfare State and Regulated Economy." ~ Jacob Hornberger

Dr. Dennis J. Malone is a friend of mine. He and I went to the same high school, in Derby, Kansas. He was one year ahead of me. After High School Dennis went into the Marines, and served in Viet Nam. He has a doctorate from  Columbia University. He served as the COO/Vice President Program Manager of GEP, Inc. He has generated over 60 million dollars in revenue with management responsibility of several over 500 million dollar defense programs. Intimate management relationship with major Defense Contractor’s such as: Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop, Rockwell, McDonnell Douglas, Air Force, Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, etc. Interfaced with the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in Washington D.C., Arlington & Alexandra, VA. Have had up to 11 Direct Reports and directly responsible for 1287 Employees. Program sovereignty of up to 6 major programs simultaneously. He is also an actor, a card carrying member of the Screen Actor's Guild. And, He is a patriot. He wrote the following:

Is Obama a Progressive Marxist Muslim?

You MUST Understand just Who These People ARE…And Just What Their Game Plan is…

 Marxism, based on the political philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is not an exclusive school of thought reserved to those who participate in Executions and Torture. Perhaps people, especially students, should read up on the outdated Marxist principles.

The correlation between Obama and Marx has more to do with their similar ideology. The belief that entire segments of society are being exploited by the Capitalists, even enslaved, is fundamentally absurd considering Obama himself was able to swiftly work his way up through the system to achieve the level of success he has, with the help of Millions of Dollars and his Marxist and Muslim Mentors. If our system of government is so terrible; how was that possible? Especially, without producing a Birth Certificate or College Transcripts!

Most Democrats with any Power are Progressive Marxists that Permeate the Democratic Party, and some of the Republican Party, RINO’s, that has the Agenda to “Destroy America” that was set forth by Stalin and the Communist Politburo after WWII. Nikita Khrushchev even told the U. S. straight out that, “WE will Destroy you from “Within,” in 1960 at the UN as he pounded his shoe on the desk!!!

Why do you think that Most Teachers and College Professors are Progressive Marxist? And why are many of the Lawyers and Judges Progressive Marxists?

So to Brainwash the following generations to Destroy their own country “From Within!!!”

The Progressive Marxists Will Use …Illegal Immigration…Islam…Phony Green Jobs…Marshal Law… Corrupt Judges…Corrupt Congress, and  Senate…ANYTHING…To Circumvent The U.S. Constitution!!!

Because America is the type of country it is, where there are around 80 million people who own firearms, the Kremlin, through Progressive Marxist Democrats and RINO’s, has tweaked the standard Marxist Takeover Policy of Armed Rebellion among the populous. That is the Single Reason Japan did not consider attacking the Mainland of America…Too many Armed Citizens! The Marxist Game Plan is to “Slowly” take apart the United States Constitution and American Freedom… Especially the 2nd Amendment…One Piece at a Time! If not through Progressive Marxist Legislation…then through the Courts with Progressive Marxist Judges. Therefore, Obama is dangerously in favor of a Big Brother Marxist system of government, with Shariah Law as The Constitution, the system he was Trained and Indoctrinated with his whole life so he could become the Smooth Teleprompting Orator peddling false hopes to lower-income, uneducated voters and the Marching In-Step Progressive Marxists and Muslims.

Congress Must Act against Obama, his Cabinet, and all of his Un-Elected Tsar’s, for they are Wrong and Very Dangerous for this country. Of course, being Bankrolled by George Soros, and Other Un-Named Billionaires, who are, in Reality, Marxists and Muslims!!! Paraphrasing the noted economist and philosopher F. A. Hayek, Future Freedom Foundation President Jacob Hornberger wrote, "There is no difference in principle, between the economic philosophy of Marxism, Nazism, Socialism, Communism, and Fascism and that of the American Welfare State and Regulated Economy." 

Not only is there no economic distinction between socialist systems in different political wrappers, ultimately there is no consequential societal distinction between Marxist Socialism, Nationalist Socialism, or the most recent incarnation of this beast, Progressive Democratic Socialism. The conclusion of socialism by any name, once it has replaced Rule of Law with the rule of Men, is Tyranny, Under Shariah Law.

This is what the Progressive Marxist Democrats and RINO’s are doing to America Now!!!

They MUST Demonize the Opposition by Tagging them as what “THEY THEMSELVES ARE” in saying; Like The TEA Party and Returning Veterans are “Terrorists and Criminals” just as Hitler, Stalin and MAO did through the Controlled Corrupt Progressive Marxist Media.

Noted Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, no stranger to the consequences of Statism, wrote, "Socialism of any type leads to a total destruction of the human spirit."

This is the Ultimate Goal of the Ruling Marxist Elite; for the Leaders will not give up their Power, Freedom and their Material Goods, while taking them away from the People!!! Democratic Socialism, like Nationalist Socialism (NAZI’s), is nothing more than Marxist Socialism repackaged, while using Shariah Law as the Acid to Melt Away The U.S. Constitution.

Likewise, it seeks a centrally planned economy directed by a single-party state that controls economic production by way of Regulation and Income Redistribution. The success of Democratic Socialism (Progressive Marxism) depends upon usurping Essential Liberty -- the rights "endowed by our Creator" -- primarily by refuting such endowment to the People…but Not from the Ruling Elite Marxists in Control. Thereby, using Shariah Law…There will be NO Women in The Controlling Government…Except Those Progressive Marxists That Tweak Shariah Law to Suit Their Needs…and The Opposition will Simply be Hanged, Shot, Be-Headed…Or…Just Cut off their Limbs…To Control Them!!!

Do not Forget… “The Communist Manifesto”… “Turn every Kind of Disaster or Misstep by your opponent… Into a Political Advantage by distorting the Facts!!!”

Of Course…The Banking and Corporate System is in Danger of Becoming the Next Evil Empire that The “Programmed Young” will see as the Target Enemy to Crush and Demonize within Our Society; as Hitler did with The Jews!!! Not to say that Some of them ARE indeed taking advantage of Usurping The Have-Nots and those Not in their Upper Financial Club. Corrupt Greediness of Some People that Dispense Millions of Dollars to Both Political Parties to get what they want out of Congress…NOW The Bankers and The Government are Conspiring with China to KILL The “Dollar” and Make The “YUAN” The World Reserve Currency for All Countries to Use Instead of The Dollar…This Will Make EVERYTHING Americans Purchase Quadruple In Price. Within Five Years…Communist China WILL Be The World’s Number One Super Power…Thanks To Progressive Marxists In and Out of OUR Governement!!!

This is one of the Egregious symptoms of the Capitalistic Society! Still…Much Better than a Marxist Society!!!

And Now…From The Pages of History, Writings of People That Truly Loved America…

 "Our own Country's Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions - The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny mediated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth." --George Washington, General Orders, 1776

 And…From a Great America… These Words of Freedom That Still Echo’s Beyond The U.S. Capital and The Court Rooms of America…

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no Peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ---Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775

 Listen Up My Fellow Americans…No man could have put the Importance of America more eloquently than Abraham Lincoln: And Now…With The Progressive Marxists Conducting Their Own Civil War on American Values, Culture and God…These Words are Absolutely Apropos…LEST WE FORGET!!!

 "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we cannot hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. 

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom --- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

My Father: A Man Of Faith

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." ~ Mark Twain

My father, Norval E. Maness.

Whenever I needed good advice, I just picked up the phone and called him. I wish I could do that today. I am sure he is looking down, watching over me now, but I wish I could talk to him one more time.

He raised 6 children, and he did a pretty good job. All but one have turned out well rounded, responsible adults. I know I have integrity and honesty because I learned from the example set by my dad. Not because of anything I've done.


Let me tell you an amazing story about my Dad.

Dad was a man of faith. Full time, he was an engineer at the Military Aircraft division of  Boeing Corporation. Part time, he was a lay preacher and a deacon in the Baptist church.  Before I was born, he was a sort of circuit riding preacher in  Missouri. He even preached at least once in the church that the infamous Jesse James had once been a member. He actually met an elderly member of that church who had known Jesse James personally.

After I was born, Dad was a Sunday School teacher, and would often fill in at various local churches for a vacationing or ill pastor. When I was a child, he was asked to be the pastor of a mission our church was planting. I couldn't have been more than 10 at the time, and I still recall a very moving illustration he used in one sermon.

Dad had his faults, though.  For one thing, he was a chain smoker. Of course, back in those days, smoking didn't carry the stigma with it that it does now. A lot of wonderful Christian people smoked in those days. It was common.

His smoking eventually caught up with him, and he became very ill after he retired from Boeing. The malady at the time was called Chronic Respiratory Pulmonary Disease. It has a different name now. He suffered with this disease for several years. I don't remember exactly how long he suffered but it had to be over 5 years, if not more. It is a cruel and tortuous disease. He had great difficulty breathing, and his lungs were often so sore form trying to breathe he could barely stand the pain.

As the disease progressed he became weaker and weaker. He became dependent upon oxygen and the disease spawned other diseases, such as Diabetes and emphysema, At times, it got so bad that he had to go to the hospital to receive treatment to keep him alive and breathing. He had a calender on the wall on which he marked his good days and bad days. The bad days began to outnumber the good.

Finally, he could no longer remain home. He was admitted to the hospital and the doctors informed he and my Mother that he would probably not be coming home. A couple of days later we were told he would not last the night. He was on his deathbed.

As I said, my father was a man of faith and on that day, weary of the painful struggle to live, he prayed a prayer, that went something like this:

"Father, I can't go on like this. "If it is your will that I should die, take me quickly. If you would have me live, heal me." Tomorrow at 2:00Pm, I want to be either healed or dead. In Jesus' name and for His sake, Amen."

Dad lived through the night, and at exactly 2:00 P.M. he drew the first clear breath he had drawn in many years.

The doctors were astounded. They performed tests and checked and double checked the results. They could not find any trace of the disease that had ravaged my father for over 5 years.

My father was healed. Completely.

Shortly thereafter, My Mom and dad signed up with the Home mission board of the Kansas-Nebraska convention of Southern Baptists. The Mission board assigned them to serve as church planters in Claflin, a small town in Central Kansas. They answered the challenge, and soon they were having church services for a handful of people, with Dad serving as their pastor. No doubt, he shared his miracle story with the congregation, and I know they were blessed by his testimony.

Once the Claflin church was firmly established, the Home Mission board brought them back home to Wichita. Shortly after that, Dad's disease came back, and this time progressed much more rapidly. One Sunday night after my parents had returned home from evening services, Dad told Mom he wasn't feeling well and was going to bed. He never got there. He stopped walking right there in the middle of his living room and collapsed. He was dead before he hit the floor.

I firmly believe we all here on this earth to fulfill God's purpose for our lives. Dad believed that, too. Before Dad's remarkable and miraculous recovery, he often said he knew he was supposed to do something important for God, but didn't know what God had in mind for him.

I know what his purpose was. God saved him and kept him healthy until he had fulfilled his purpose.

Some would say that what happened to my Dad was mere coincidence, that there is a scientific explanation for his recovery.

But I know my family witnessed a genuine miracle.

Obama's Desperation

"For the American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible exception of stupidity." ~Will Rogers



Imagine you are in line for a big promotion at work. For the last 6 years or more, you have done everything you are supposed to do to give yourself an advantage. You have worked hard specifically for the opportunity to gain this promotion. You come in early and stay late. You volunteer to do extra work. You take courses to improve your marketability. You go out of your way to make sure your boss knows you are the one responsible for bringing in more business. You grovel, plead, beg, cajole, befriend, and bribe to enhance your reputation to literally everyone who has any influence at all with your boss. You pick up the check at those business luncheons with your boss. You let him win at golf.

Now, imagine, in spite of all your efforts, the boss brings in someone from outside the company with no experience, no work history, no sense of responsibility, and no brains, and gives that person the job you have been working so hard for so many years.

How would you feel?

Would that give you positive feelings for your boss? Would you feel betrayed? Would you continue to like and respect your boss? Wouldn't you, in fact, resent him? Would you be likely do anything to help your boss in the future?

The Obama administration announced Friday it will stop deporting illegal immigrants who come to the country at a young age. Obviously, this is a desperate attempt to win votes from immigrant voters.

Nothing more.

 He thinks by relaxing immigration laws and allowing illegal aliens to remain in the country, the move will endear himself to Hispanics, and they will, in turn, vote for him in droves this November.

 I don't think it will work.

The only Hispanics who can vote, so far, are those who have become legal citizens, and those citizens became U.S. citizens by doing what they were supposed to do, legally.

Just as the employee who works tirelessly for years to get that promotion, many of them waited years to become legal American citizens. I don't think they will take too kindly to illegal aliens who have been given a free and effortless path to citizenship without having to go through the process legally.

Yes, some will buy into Obama's bribe, but I think most legal immigrants will see through the sham, and, even if they are lifelong Democrats, may very well vote for anybody but Obama, if only out of pure resentment.

Unlike Obama, I think our legal Latino citizens are smart. He obviously thinks they aren't.

What's Happening

OK. I guess it's about time I wrote another blogpost.

I have no excuse, other than I haven't felt motivated. All I can write about is being written about by other, more articulate bloggers than I, anyway.

Perhaps part of my lack of motivation lies in the distraction of trying to focus on the ongoing calamities that are currently effecting my life. Simply put, personal problems are occupying the majority of my thoughts and keeping me awake nights.

 As my two readers no doubt know, I recently moved from Virginia, back to my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

 There are several reasons my wife and I (primarily, my wife) made the decision to make this move. I will touch on a few:

1. Most of my family is in or near Wichita. My mother, soon to reach the age of 92, lives in Wichita. She is still relatively healthy, but, at 91, she is having some ambulatory problems. A couple of years ago, she suffered a mini-stroke which, fortunately, didn't have any lasting effects, but it bothered me that I wasn't close enough, geographically speaking, to be of any assistance should a more serious stroke occur. On top of that, my financial situation would have made it difficult, if not impossible, to be present for her funeral, if, God forbid, she suddenly passed away. I have children and grandchildren in Wichita and Osawatomie in Kansas, and in Independence and Booneville in Missouri. I had never seen my two youngest grandchildren until we came back here.

2. My wife is an only child who never had children of her own, and both of her parents had passed away in the last few years, leaving her with few family members left in Virginia. She wanted to be close to the kids and grandkids, I suppose, so she could spoil them.

3. Because of lack of funds, we were unable to keep our house maintained. It was falling apart, and we simply didn't have the money to fix it up.

 Unfortunately, since we moved here, things haven't gone as we anticipated and we are suffering more financial difficulties than we experienced in Virginia. My pay is substantially less and the cost of living here is higher. The combination of those two factors have placed us in a difficult situation.

So, you will, I hope, understand that I have been pre-occupied with concerns other than keeping up with my blogging.

I am pursuing some options, and hopefully, soon will be motivated to blog further.

Memorial Day 2012

"To the 58,000 + on the Wall that perished in Viet Nam, a grateful nation salutes you, and the families of the fallen---we will never forget or forsake those who committed this ultimate sacrifice.

To the thousands of heroes that have perished after 9/11, (that joined in the fight against the radical Islamic Jihadist)---we will never forget or forsake those who committed this ultimate sacrifice. 

To the hundreds of thousand that perished in our two World Wars and the Korean conflict, (that put a stop to the tyrannical dictators and the facilitators of fascism)---we will never forget or forsake those who committed this ultimate sacrifice. 

 From still a grateful nation, every one of you are in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers on this day. For it is the fallen that remind us that the price of freedom has been paid dearly in the flesh and blood of our greatest defenders---OUR MILITARY HEROES. GOD BLESS THEM ONE AND ALL!" ~ A commenter on a Newsbuster's article
