Creation

God did not create the creation that creation should worship the creation.

As to Al Gore; to me it is foolishness to jump to, "there must be reasons for everything". There is of course but any man who believes in an almighty God who is watching over his creation accepts that he may not understand nor even has to understand all of the whys.

On my testimonial side as a younger man many things went terribly wrong with my plans. So many of the things that I did failed to come to complete fruition but yet other amazing things just seemed to fall in my lap. When I would lament I always said "I don't blame God", and I didn't.

One guy says to me, "you are the luckiest man I know". What he didn't seem to know was that I was nowhere near where I wanted to be. The explanation was that I forgot to give thanks to God for the incredible things he had given me. A new house, new cars, family, and stuff. I could go on and on but people hate that about me. The why as to why a one world Government, may be Christians fault. They have been predicting by twisting or modernizing things that were written in the bible.
A Christian knows that the world has no power over the things to come. Only God does. The thing then is that we who are Christians who do know that only trouble comes from trying to unify the world under one government,............ If God meant for there to be only one government in the world there would be only one government and no individual nation.

There will not be; no matter how much compromising the world does, ever, no nation. There will always be multiple sovereign nations. Always. So long as earth will sustain cognisant life. Always. There are a lot of people who are very very smart but they might as well be doddering idiots to think that mankind's salvation lay in uniting the world under any banner.

Even When Jesus returns and rules with a rod of iron there will be nations.

Mankind's salvation has already been purchased.

I haven't posted

All week because My Grandmother of 89 years has passed away plus I have been working on a short story which I am praying will turn into a novel but has been also interrupted. I feel drained. My Grandma was the center of our family. I will miss her. We were connected more than anyone will ever know.

Poem: They ain't paid the price yet.

Every great change in this world has been paid for with a great war,

Every great ideal that comes to the fore front has been maintained by fighting for it,

The cost is blood on the battle field,

Socialism in this country wants to completely dominate,

Atheism wants to rule,

They ain't paid the price in a war here,

Without that great war they cannot change anything,

Every great change must be bought with the blood on the battlefield,

If they are unwilling to pay then they must go away,

They don't want to pay,

Sons of this God Risen Republic will win,

The Sons of this Republic do not start fights,

We will not start this one either,


But we will win,

We will pay the price of blood on the battlefield,

And with our blood we will repurchase our way,

And our document,

And our right,

To give obeisance to our God

Our right to our way.

There is nothing on the planet more entertaining than other people,

There is no one on the planet more creative than the audience.

Who said this?

There is a rumor that Tocqueville did not say this. But someone did. "America is great because America is good, if America ever ceases to be good then America will cease to be great."

Go here for more. Who ever said this is exactly right.

I am just your average nugget

Pleeease do not come into my site looking for some kind of 'epiphanaic' insight. If you get inspired to do or say something great then that is what I live for, not for me but for you.... that is how my life has worked out. I truly enjoy it when others are or become better than me.

Previously I have taken payment in the rights of bragging; to say that I know you' but I have to an extant become more at peace and satisfied that you have done well.

If the only thing that occurs is that you try with all your might yet you fail you will have yet been made a better, stronger, and smarter person. I will know it and so will you. I adjure you to not give me so much credit but give God the Credit. It is his to begin with.

Besides I am not worthy anyway. I like to cuss some here. It is my way.

Gettin near Santa Tiime

From there I fixed it.
Fixer JimDawg shows off his lyrical prowess,“to the tune of “Up on the Housetops”:
“Up on the housetop
Deer with no paws
Out stumbles drunken Bubba Claus
Haulin’ presents with the dead
Looks like Tommy wet his bed
”And the refrain:
“Oh God, no!
Who wouldn’t throw
Oh God, no!
Who wouldn’t throw
Up on the housetop
Sick..sick..sick
Santa with a gun
Hide me quick!”
"I am convinced the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the
unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and
die unnoticed."

Always know sombody else is bigger, better, and smarter than you.

Yay! Sombody said it first.

The chief proof of man's real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)

The nation is immoral and needs to be invaded

http://www.crosswalk.com/news/commentary/11610013/

The nation is immoral and needs to be invaded because:

An invasion of this magnitude would naturally kill off dope heads and their willing supporters who are usually people who are still or did dope and hate it that they still feel guilty about it.

It would also destroy the drug transportation industry.

It would also free up vigilantes to hunt the dope dealers and other sundry criminal misfits too summarily kill them like the rabid animals that they are.

So come on you chicken shit European Asian and African wanna be's you need this fight as much as us. You need it to blow off steam and we need it to get rid of the gangrenous criminal cancer that has taken over our country not only that but the philosophical fucks need a reminder that they are a fucking luxury not a necessity.

Anarchy

Quote from Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"The government is the potent omnipresent
teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example.Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution."

If I knew this naturally what happened to all of those college graduates? Did they fucking unlearn this in college.

Retribution cometh.

Give me liberty or give me death

http://libertyonline.hypermall.com/henry-liberty.html


"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.The
people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be
discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If
they remain quiet under such misconceptions,it is lethargy, the forerunner of
death to the public liberty. ...And what country can preserve its liberties, if
its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the
spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to
the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or
two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.It is its natural manure."

Thomas Jefferson

It has been far to long since the people reminded the Government that freedom is not a gift from the Government but a natural right given by God. The people will have to repel foreign invaders for the second time in our history thanks to the leaders forgetting one little thing. They govern at the pleasure of the people not the other way around. The rest of the world be damned we don't care.

Billiard Ball Bang, this was funny

Nitrocellulose a plastic; also stable, an explosive.
"In 1869, with elephants having been poached to near extinction, the billiards
industry granted a $10,000 prize to whoever came up with the best replacement
for ivory billiard balls. John Wesley Hyatt created the winning replacement
which he coated with a new material he found called camphored nitrocellulose—the
first thermoplastic, better known as celluloid. The invention had a brief
popularity, but the Hyatt balls were extremely flammable, and sometimes portions
of the outer shell would explode upon impact. An owner of a billiard saloon in
Colorado wrote to Hyatt about the explosive tendencies, saying that he "did not
mind very much personally but for the fact that every man in his saloon
immediately pulled a gun at the sound". Ironically, in light of the explosive
results, the process was called the "Hyatt Gun Method".

Exactly

Any Insane man who "hated the great Satan" was enticed to go to Iraq to be met by the awesome power of the U.S. forces.

Ann Coulter has properly discerned Bushes strategy.

Short of turning the middle east into a glass parking lot it was the best possible strategy.

He did what I would have done. Actually not. I would have simply carpet bombed Baghdad and Tehran Invaded Afghanistan killed the Taliban and then pulled out and carpet bombed Kabul.

Then I would have invaded Iraq found Sa-damn-ed Hussein and interrogated him to death then strung his bloody body up for all the world to see. Then in the wake of all the protests in the world I would have pulled all of our troops out of every nation we had them staged in and said read my middle finger. Dumped mega trillions of dollars on the world markets to break us loose from their dependence pon us and told them to go there own damn way we weren't coming to their rescue ever again, the ungrateful bastards that they are.

In all honesty the first thing out of my mouth when I heard the announcement that it was indeed Al-Queda what bombed the world trade center was, "turn the other cheek".
Thomas Jefferson said we shouldn't get involved in foreign entanglements and he was right.

It has been greedy bastards who thought to make a buck; not being satisfied with the big money they made here, they thought to rule the world economically as well (bunch of over educated dumb fucks) but didn't seem to understand that the world has a 'where is billy the kid mentality' so's they can test their skills against his. We became the Billy the Kid of the world and now I think the world wants to take us on. Ok but your going to have to come over here with your hordes cause we ain't stupid enough to fight on your home turf.

Got news for the world. We will win. So bring it on. What you bunch of chicken shits afraid somebody might die? Or that war is to horrible to contemplate. Why then does mankind always follow a path that leads to war. I will tell you why. Stupid incorrigible walking away from some very basic principles of God.

  • Lesson One: Turn the other cheek. If you don't then neither will I.

  • Lesson two: Do unto others as you would them have them do unto you. If you do evil to me then don't bitch when I do evil to you.

Money doesn't turn the wheels of democracy gettin even does. Trust me there are a billion ways' to get even and no one but God can cover every base, not even the devil. I know this cause I thought once in my life long long time ago that I could but discovered that I couldn't which has led me to calculating what level I was willing to pay for getting even. I discovered that what had happened to my life had entangled itself deep in the bowels of our Democracy and that to get even with it I would have to somehow by God; git it to or fool it into destroying is self .
By God he (God)came up with a way.

The last part of the puzzle was for me to be just crazy enough for you idiots to not listen to me. Then I could tell you the truth about what was happening and what you idiots were about to be forced to do and then by God present you with situations in which due to your ideologies you would have no choice but to react to in the ways that you reacted. Thus leading you down blind alleys and paths which were gauntlets always warning you fools where the traps were and laughing mercilessly as you tripped over one after the other.

Audi Murphy said it over and over again. Keep your heads down. And watched over and over again as his buds stuck there heads out to get them shot off.

By the way the best book about the troubles of war is Audi Murphy's, To Hell and back. Also see the movie To Hell and Back. Some of the movie scenes were the actual locations around Europe were Audi Murphy had fought I heard.

I am again telling you people to keep your heads down. Don't blame me if you get over confident and stick your heads up and somebody saaaay gives you a Nobel peace prize you haven't earned yet and you get scoffed at. Even my nemeses atheist enemies are slapping themselves in the heads in shame over that one.

And I have nothing to do but laugh like a crazed maniac.

Mr. President Keep your head down, you have got some work to do to prove that you deserve the honor of a peace prize.

I frankly would give it back and tell them let history determine if I deserve this or not.

But then again I thought we should just carpet bomb Baghdad.

Just for those who may think I am sadistic, A joke

The Christian Barber:

There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had been doing lately.

So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed he said, "Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door."
Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, "I want a shave!" The barber said, "Sure, just sit in the seat and I'll be with you in a moment."

The barber went in the back and prayed a quick desperate prayer saying,

"God, the first customer came in and I'm going to witness to him. So give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen."

Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying "Good morning sir.

I have a question for you... Are you ready to die?"


MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hypocrates

These three links are to articles which do a pretty good job of illustrating hypocrisy. There is practically no man who is not hippocratical. The question is not whether we are not all Hippocrates but is there some form of hypocrisy that is normal and some that are bad or dangerous.


Smiling Faces Sometimes
The Hypocrisy of Hypocrisy -- Peter Beck
Are We Weak or Are We Hypocrites--or both? -- Dr. Ray Pritchard

I am in agreement with these articles. I say that we all change our behavior depending upon the situation but are we putting on a pretense of being good when we are really murdering bastards.
Trust me when I say there is more than one way to murder. Like murder by stress or murder by denying medical services when clearly the law orders that you should. Or the one that really brought it all to the forefront of my mind; how to kill by ordering workers upon penalty of losing there jobs and ending up on a black list like the Steinbrenners (That's right one of those in company memos)did to my dad and his coworkers. By ordering them to work unprotected with ASBESTOS! That is murder just as sure as putting a gun to their head would be.

My dad died from mesothelioma. My mom sued for 14 million and settled out of court for 2 million but has been paid only 250,000. Why?, because they are murdering bastards! Hippocrates!

And a fourth link just because.

Dead cat bounce

A dead cat bounce,

It's estimated that:
· Unemployment will hit double digits (10%)
· One in three commercial loans is on verge of default
· Payments on over one million adjustable rate mortgages are about to significantly increase
· Personal bankruptcies are up 33 %
· Business bankruptcies might increase by over 60% before 2009 comes to a close

Politicians are full of shit. This (the economy)is not recovering yet. And the so called dead cat bounce is the 800 billion dollars the giv-ment pumped into the economy. It's more like a dead cat bouncing off of the rocks as it falls down the cliff.

I don't know why these politicians are so stupidly eager to jump to a conclusion that things are getting better at this time, but it is going to cost them there asses in the next election.

What jobs you going to replace all the jobs lost in our (gag) beloved auto industry. Green jobs?, with the way things are going they will head over seas faster that the plethora of jobs that have done so to date.

US Dollar at a precipice

http://www.crosswalk.com/news/commentary/11609572/ This is the best article explaining why the US is now and in the future Not going to be top nation in any category any more, which is fine by me. that way other little nations can go somewhere else to get rescued from themselves.

George Washingtons visions and propesies

George Washington reports this event in his life Corroborated by this man and after having read the most recent article and comments at Wizbang I am completely disheartened, by the utter callousness of not only the article but the comments. I take it as a sampling of the one side in this great verbal battle between should we help the down trodden or throw them off a cliff as the barbaric ancient Spartans used to do.

Wizbang and the ultra right wing are advocating a metaphorical throwing them off a cliff. We can not unless we are willing to face the consequences of doing so.

The consequences are large scale civil unrest even civil war.

Alexis de Tocqueville

“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there.

Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”


Alexis-Charles-Henri ClĂ©rel de Tocqueville (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859)


Other than he believed in segregation and I don't, de Tocqueville came close to right in his description of America. His main problem was that though he made a mighty attempt to be objective he failed. His personal bias is plain. He was born of aristocracy and it tainted his personal opinion in all of his writings. His ideals of racial purity may be the ones that have caused so much trouble in the world. Our Constitution has expressly so stated that all men are created with equal and inalienable rights. Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Becoming some kind of socialistic ant Is Not what the founding fathers saw as possible. They knew and understood within the depths of their souls that the best thing that could be done was to as far as possible leave the people to God and God would take care of the rest.

And he did. He made of us the greatest nation the earth has seen to date so long as we fought to remain good.

Our days are waxing old as the volcano that is America becomes extinct because the righteousness.......the magma of our goodness that filled the chambers of our hearts cools and we cease to be great because we are loosing our goodness.

Proverbs

Pro 11:1 A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to the LORD:H3068 but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delight.H7522



H7522
רצן רצון
râtsôn râtsôn
raw-tsone', raw-tsone'
From H7521; delight: - (be) acceptable (-ance, -ed), delight, desire, favour, (good) pleasure, (own, self, voluntary) will, as . . . (what) would.


I am sure that there is much about my life that is not a delight to him so I wish and will it to my self that I shall improve upon myself that I may be found more a delight to him.

God given roles

Hold your skirt I haven't edited this yet.


A woman on THE prominent radio talk show who has eleven kids has a response to some research into why women are so unhappy today.



She says and I do not quote, "it's because they have stepped out side of their God given roles." She says that women were created to raise kids and become entrepreneurs.



She said it more eloquently than that but to keep the perfect-toonist plagercops off by my back

tha's all I am going to put here.



I have both read and heard this that if woman ran the world it would be a better place.



Who ever originally said that failed to observe how subliminally vicious and duplicitous a woman can be. They failed to recognize that women don't do their own dirty work they get somebody else to do it using every dirty trick in the book. AC/DC's dirty deeds done dirt cheap comes to mind.



The old saying don't piss off a woman is pretty accurate. They will run around pretending to be a victim with their outstanding verbal and attitudinal wiles (tearfully) convince other people that you need to be sterilized, ostracized, killed or neutralized. Every man who has much dealings with a woman knows what I'ma talking about.

Aaay, you say? Follow the dominoes as they tip. My Wife; three years ago had me painted(verbal and attitudinal wiles) as some kind of horror because she did not want to hear what I had to say about her insane habits with money and then paranoia, that caused us to loose our house. God by her decisions took the one thing in her life that she loved the most. Her dog ( wudden me).
All of them self generated I assure you. She is struggling now under therapy and treatment and has been awarded SSI benefits for not only physical but mental disease. She is permanently disabled. She is still trying to return to the really stupid behavior patterns that she had before. Nuts! To the mmmmmm that thought a woman would have to be nuts to be married to me well here I am......married to a nut. You know they say that a man marries someone like their mom.
Back when I was twelve my mom started taking anti depressants. And by the time I was twenty five she was on 10-15 different pills or pills to treat the side effects of the pills. Did you know that all of my sisters have or are taking pills? No? There is your answer. I married someone like my mom.

Of course there is one common denominator besides my mom.......me. Maybe I drove them to it.
Truth is I don't even practice that kind of influence but I gotta say that I don't think so.

Now having recognized this you will understand why I shall never have any more relationships. This is the last one and it is a crying shame I could not recognize this much earlier in my life. I could have forgone any troubles by bypassing marriage and just going for the wealth.


Back to the original entry. I have seen men who their wives fawn all over. But that's because they have turned the tables on their women making them feel sorry for their crazy ranting and convince them that they themselves are being victimized by the apparent overdriven emotional mental state of women. They say very little. And have mastered the bs art of lying with comfortable words. But is that good? In almost every case I have noted, the piper eventually comes to call . Marriages break up or all hell breaks or the quiet explosion.......Infidelity pays a visit, because one or the other gets fed up with the deceit.



The other type of man I have seen who deals with the marriage are actually the ones who have a great marriage. That be my rule of thumb 2%. The woman is in her role and the man is in his. They are comfortable, at peace and invariably prosperous.



Women....... c'mon and admit it.........you really don't want your man to talk. They weren't really built for it anyway. Men like talking to each other because well........they like mechanics not nuances. Mechanics are plain to see and involve little emotional risk. To deal with nuances can lead to emotional trauma. Emotional trauma can lead to bad things happening. So women of world don't ask your man to get too much into the nuances and since your built to deal with them and men weren't, it's kind of like picking up a hammer to unscrew a bolt. You can beat that bolt with the hammer, you might break the hammer(your man) or you might break the bolt and damage whatever it is your trying to fix. Either way you are more likely to make a mess. No sense getting mad at your husband either because it's not his fault that he is no expert at your troubles. If he was he would be a woman and I would ere if I thought that you wanted to have a woman for a husband .

Well.......some do but I ain't talking about them now am I?

Tell me are you ready to die for your faith

"The early Christians risked death and torture for their faith. Some were crucified, others beheaded. Still others were roasted, shot with arrows, or thrown to wild beasts. A Roman emperor, Caligula, burned them to light up his garden parties. In various countries, Christians still suffer torture for Christ. In fact, according to Richard John Neuhaus," "more Christians have been martyred in this century than in all previous centuries put together. Around the world, some 300,000 are put to death annually for their faith." "Thousands are also sold into slavery or sent to" "reeducation" camps. "Yet the cause of Christ continues to spread. "

The thought patrols are way out of hand in these countries. Makes non-believers look bad.

No such thing as over achieving

I was called an over achiever when I was in high school and junior high on more than one occasion. Guy says to me one day why doesn't any of this affect you. It's simple really. I didn't believe them.

I went on to become an athlete of note in school. And was able to remain a nice guy except to those who were upset that they might have been wrong about my abilities. They were just jealous. I have recently once again been called an over achiever.

I remain positive. It is no fluke nor quirk of fate when someone suddenly goes beyond the confines of the fence that in other peoples judgement is their boundary. So the world has come to the U.S. exemplified in beating down the smart kids in school to the point now that we have coined a new phrase. Bullycide. Congratulation America you are more like the rest of the world than ever.

I guess it's going to take the tribulation to straighten people out. Not yet though. A little peace first. Calm before the storm.

The Kings new clothes.

From Wizbang,


"Reading
all this terrible news makes Joe Biden look like he's living in some alternate
universe when he said this about the stimulus bill:" "
In
my wildest dreams, I never thought it would work this well
." "This is
working well?" "The 9.8% unemployment rate isn't the real number." Real
unemployment is a"
whopping
17%
".

What!? Did these people not realize that the other people were thinking, seeing, and knowing?
People innately get the feeling that something is not true. Politicians and their lackeys are like a bunch of naked old blind men running around a busy highway. Every bodies gawking at them but they just don't know it. There, get that image out of your heads.

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Casey I have the feeling that I could mention any state in the Union and you could give the history of politics to today. I cannot say that I know much about the machinations of politics especially here in Ok. I get the fawning honor of saying that a friend of mine Gary Garner brought a man up to me in church one day and introduced us. He said this is Tom Coburn he is running for congress, he's a Republican. That was 1996. I have been blessed to watch the man. But then strangely enough in my apparently random wanderings I have had the privilege of shaking several other politicians hands such as Saxby Chambliss US Senator, former US Rep. from Minnisota and later chief of staff to Newt Gingrich Randy Wright, and Governor Sonny Perdue of Georgia the first Republican Governor I think in 150 years in Ga. Or is it the first time in 150 years that the Republicans had ownership of the State legislative branches. During the run up to the 2000 elections I had the surprise question asked of me "do you want to run for office from then state rep. Pam Bohannon who was sitting next to me at the regional convention which I was a delegate at ????? You would have to know my life to understand my astonishment. I may have had a couple of ideas in my life but was I so eloquent to have been considered for such a veneration? At the time this blue collar boy didn't even know what Roberts Rules were. Sonny Perdue, shone during that convention and he is still shining today. There are a couple of others who were great and will go down in history that by some quirk of fate deigned it their will to speak to me, Colin Powell and Sam Nun, a mildly amusing story I may tell here some day. Something to do with a golf course and me when I was active duty after Gulf WI. I can only credit God and his eternal wisdom that I should have gained his favor to have met and became acquainted with such men as this but to exclaim expertise with you Rich and Casey would be a travesty. I cannot. I defer and find this debate fascinating, educational and it for some reason raises my curiosity. I will say this. The underpinnings of Machiavelli are alive and well in American Politics.

Since I have been back in Ok I have purposely kept my nose out of politics for the very reason I see here in this discussion. I am an infant and know virtually nothing about the give and take. I even dislike the word politic. "The art of intrigue" one dictionary says, another calls it the "art of compromise." It takes a graceful man to even be a crooked politician and graceful behavior is not one of my fortays. I love the straight talkers and doers much like Reagen was. Men of blue collar ethics; moral and work, are my taste in politicians. I like Tom Coburn because to his constituents he is not duplicitous. He tells them straight what he believes is the right thing to do and does not treat them like proverbial mushrooms or idiots if you know what I mean. He keeps them informed. He was a decent man before he went into office and one of those who remains true to his beliefs and reasoning's. He is serving the state and the people this country, I have no doubt and has true concerns for them and it foremost in his mind. He is not only a workhorse but a showhorse as well I think.

That to me is the right honorable thing. Politicians do not have to be perfect. The people don't really expect that. What constituents want, even thirst for is honesty from them after the elections. That is my private assessment. I still talk with people nearly daily on a host of subjects and that is what they want.

I had my wife recently pick an optometrist and low and behold when I asked him his name; don't blink, it was Tom Coburns Cousin.
Bleu Collar Freaking Amazing. I am trying to run away from politics and wham there it is again. Is God Saying something to me?
