Hello,
Well folks it is getting close to election day. And it will all be over then or will it. I seen a column today that says if Obama loses there will be blood in the streets and a civil war. You got to love these Hollywood types. The mainstream media is still tumbling down the mountain of "double standards for all because we know best". And "Acorn" is still trying with all their might to be asked to leave the country and take up residence in a socialist country of their choice.
Hate America seems to be the in thing these days, but where does it come from? I believe it comes from a handful of people that are in a position of influence. They have the power over people that they are instructing or have the power of the written word to push their agenda.
Lets look at some of the friends and associates of Barack Obama the Democratic nominee for president. To mention a few, Frank Marshall Davis (communist sex pervert ), Tony Rezko (Syrian con man ), Rashid Khalidi (Palestinian spokes person ), Bill Ayers (domestic terrorist ), Bernardine Dohrn (domestic terrorist ), and Jeremiah Wright (liberation theology preacher). What do all of these have in common? The answer hit me today as I was watching the news, they all hate America, and have made statements saying as much. With people being in jobs of influence like these it is no wonder we have such a hate thy brother attitude across party lines as we do today. It does not matter which party is spewing hate, IT IS WRONG. It is a shame we have come to this point in the history of our country. God Help us.
November 3th is being designated as a day of fasting and prayer. Maybe we can salvage some sense of unity out of this mess. When we talk division we get division. When we talk unity we get unity.
God help us all.

We Are Destroyed For Lack of Knowledge.
Hello,
We are less than a week away from voting for president. What normally would be an exciting time has turned into a fearful time. For the first time there are a huge percentage of Americans going to the polls totally uneducated about the candidates, especially one in particular. Because of the mainstream media has spoon feed just what they wanted the people to have.
When you vote you need to be aware of who you are voting for. Once you cast your vote it can not be taken back. It is sad that a lot of people do not understand who this Obama fellow really is. It is a shame and a travesty that the general population lacks the knowledge of his background and his associations. If the media had done it's job and given out all the information it had and you felt this is your man. Great, you have made your choice the American way and you can hold your head up proud. But to vote with only a fraction of the knowledge is sad and wrong and very dangerous.
There is a bible verse that comes to mind here,
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6.
Don't settle for a lack of knowledge or be afraid of the truth.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32.
We need a good measure of healing in this country now. And we will need a very large measure after the election. For I fear there will be a great divide in this great land of ours. Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided can not stand". That was pertinent in his time, it is also pertinent in our time.
We have always had a common mooring to set us straight and back on course together. The Constitution and when that needed help, the Declaration of Independence. These documents remind us who we are and the price that was paid so we can go in freedom and vote. But again, we must vote with knowledge and understanding exactly who the candidates are.
Friend, we are in this ship together and we need each other. These are hazardous times and they are filled with danger from a very uncertain world. It lurks from without and from within. Lets not allow the danger to strike from within. Lets become bonded together with strength and determination to leave our posterity with a loving and caring land in which to grow up in.
May God bless America.

No Riots Please!
Hello,
There is a report that there will be increased police on duty election day and night for anticipated riots and trouble. Have we now become a third world country or a South American dictatorship. There was a time when Americans could disagree in patriotic unison. A time when America come first always. Now we are facing riots and who knows what all.
It is a fact that Obama told his supporters to go and get in the face of those who do not support him. It is a fact that Obama's picture was taken on a campaign stop with Kenya's strong man Odinga. It is a fact that Obama contributed money to Odinga campaign. It is also a fact that when Odinga lost the election by 200,000 votes he claimed voter fraud and sent the young people out to get in the faces of those who did not support Odinga. The end result was riots and the death of 1,000 people plus 100's of christian churches burned to the ground, one full of women and children. Odinga was awarded the Prime Ministers position for the efforts of his young followers.
We are being over run with voter fraud by many groups, especially the group Acorn. Acorn has made it no secret that they support Obama and will do anything to get him elected. How in the world can we know if this election, when its over, is legitimate and exercised with fairness and honesty?
This is the danger when people start thinking that a mortal man is border line divine. When they say he is the messiah and can do no wrong. His gift of oratory sways and swoons the populace into a mesmerized state that they can not shake off. They are trying to see the country through a fog of isolated political blindness called I am Obama.
If people could back away for a minute and look at this election with clear eyes and make a wise choice we would be the better for it. No matter who you decide on, it is each Americans right to freely make his choice. We may not agree with the results but we are still Americans and we must treat each other with respect. No riots please.
It is my right to have my say, it is my right to vote for whom ever I chose and it is my right to vote with conviction. And it is my right to vote with out fear of reprisals. Many, many people died to preserve this basic right and it should not be taken lightly.
Vote for who ever you decide to, but people should not be attacked just because they support someone else.
If you are of the number that is ready to cause trouble and riot in the streets if your man is not elected. May I make a modest suggestion, move to Kenya and embrace Odinga.
Those who preach tolerance seem to be in the need of a large dose of this word tolerance themselves.
May God bless America.

The Liberal Press Thinks They Know Best!
Hello,
Well folks, this election has turned into a nightmare. I don't care who your horse is in this race it is nothing short of pure arrogance by the mainstream media. I can't get over the bias and just plain traitorous conduct of the press.
We are suppose to make an intelligent choice when we go to the polls this November fourth. But I ask how in the world can we? How can we know who is the right man for the job if the press keeps covering up important information.
There are those who can only get their news from the big three. They do not have cable or internet or the time to search out the truth. So they rely on the MSM. Boy, are they getting a bunch of garbage handed to them. It's a shame and a disgrace that that ranks up there with Judas, Booth, and B. Arnold.
We must hold the MSM accountable in this charade and nightmare they have brought upon us.
This world is to scary to put the wrong person in the White House. One wrong decision and we could wake up dead and that makes for a bad day.
Pray hard America.

Character Is Everything!
Hello,
Well now the final debate is over and while the smoke is clearing lets look at a few facts and problems I see in this election. As we Americans get ready to vote for our next president we must make sure as to what we are doing. Put the candidate’s policies that they would enact when in office aside, because most of them will be at the mercy of congress anyway. I truly believe that character is the utmost important issue that should determine who sets in the oval office. With that in mind I would like to look at the character of Barack Obama Senator.
Firstly, Obama’s ties with Acorn which seems to be the first shot out of the cannon. He was a lawyer for them and he also trained some of their staff. All well and good but Acorn is in the middle of investigations for voter fraud now and has been in the past. They also are notorious for intimidation of banks and financial institutions to acquire mortgages for minorities and low income individuals. This has aided in this financial melt down we are experiencing now. Acorn’s style and the way they operate is, go out and get in their face tactics. And confrontation used to achieve a specific goal.
Secondly, Obama’s ties to
Thirdly, the twenty years spent in the pews listening to his Pastor Jeremiah Wright. This man has an adverse attitude towards
Fourthly, Obama himself told his supporters to go out and get in their face. He uses confrontation to achieve a specific goal.
Fifthly, on July the second of this year Obama made a speech in which he said, “if elected he would start a Civilian Security Force with the same power as the military.” The text of the statement has been removed from the total text of the speech, I wonder why? When one thinks of Civilian Security Force it does not bring up warm and fuzzy thoughts. It brings up thoughts of Gestapo, KGB and thugs. Who very easily could exercise, go out and get in their face tactics. And confrontation used to achieve a specific goal.
There seems to be a common denominator in all of this. And it raises some thoughts about Senator Obama which are these. If these items have merit do they give us a glimpse into the mind and ideology of Obama? Do they give some insight of what his presidency would be like? Is there reason to be concerned about his winning the election? And most importantly, should we be concerned if he loses the election? Is there reason to think that what happened in
I have a lot of questions about Obama and his beliefs. There seems to be a haze hanging over him in which the mainstream media refuses to clear away so that we can see the man for who he is. If Obama loses this election the mainstream media will probably lead the political revolt. And we will be treated to some of the worst reporting to come down the pike ever and who knows what else.
I believe that character is most important and it should be made transparent for all to see no matter what party you are representing.
Pray hard

Awaken America And Smell The Anger.
Hello,
There seems to be a growing anger in the heart of America. People are saying that they are getting "mad", or "mad as hell". I even heard one lady say she is "pissed". Now I normally don't use language like that in my blog but it seems to be the words being used by an upset populace.
I have heard America referred to as "the great silent majority", also as a "sleeping giant". Americans are generally a God fearing, patriotic, peace loving and compassionate people. Until they are pushed over the edge, and that seems to be getting closer these days. We, as a people pretty mush mind are own affairs and try to make ends meet to keep our families going. There is nothing more formidable than a "pissed" America. Especially when the trouble comes from within.
Things are so screwed up in our country today that one has a hard time just finding a place to start. But one place is this socialist movement that has caused so much of our problems in our freedoms and especially the world of finance. All of those who embrace this ideology are pushing the "sleeping giant" closer to the edge just to obtain power and wealth. And they have no idea as to what they are flirting with.
There was another time when the people were "pissed" and "mad as hell". They weren't called Americans then, they were called "Colonist". But when they became Americans, those they were "pissed at" and "mad as hell at" found the weather here to uncomfortable and hot footed it back to England. And those that were kissing up to them for power and wealth applied the first "exit strategy" that was agreed upon by unanimous consent. The end result is, when Americans finally get "pissed" and "mad as hell", something naturally happens, just ask England and the traitorous Tories.
We must fully awaken and make a stand for truth and freedom. We must never give in to those that have their best interest at heart. We must not allow those who are trying to subvert the very truth to succeed. We must stay angered until we win the day and America is again set back on the pinnacle of Her prestigious position.

The gods of tolerance!
Hello,
There was a study done on the morality of Americans. And it was a sad day indeed. It seems to say that the younger the individual the less moral they are. It is no wonder when you come to realize that they have had less training in what is absolute truth. The further we get from the time when you could read your bible in school the further we get from morality.
The side effects of immorality can become terminal to our lives. They can dominate the very consciousness of all of us. When we look into scripture from the bible it describes horrible times from the past when there was no morality. And death went hand in hand with what little life that was left. It was easier to give in to the lusts of the time than rather to take a stand for what is right.
If we take that stand today and proclaim what is right and what is good there would be a howl of intolerance applied to us proclaimers. We would be ostracized and shunned by the outcry of the immortal tolerant. But even the gods of tolerance can not stand long when they embrace immorality with it's cold passion and loveless kiss. The gods of tolerance weaken and become mortal again and slowly succumb to righteousness and the benefits of morality. They can grow morally strong and reclaim the pristine sparkle of genuine goodness. We must proclaim the truth and stand our ground till they come around to rightness and our posterity will ever thank us for our insight, strength and will to do the right thing.

We Can Right The Ship November Fourth!
Hello,
The house has nixed the bailout bill and the world hasn't ended yet, give it time. Sometimes I think some super hard times might be the what the doctor ordered for reviving this great land of ours. We can not appreciate the good times until we have experienced the hard times. It is tough trying to figure out what the morrow will bring.
One thing I know for sure, that is it is impossible for the bulk of our elected officials to act in a bi-partisan way. When it comes to power and might they will not give an inch. While the ship is sinking they are battling to see who is going to be captain and control the last square inch of the ship before it goes under the water. I give you Nancy Pelosi and her harpies tongue with it's mindless chatter. She is responsible for most of the problems that occurred this day. When she finally shuts her mouth, up pops Barney Frank, need I say more.
This is another good reason to throw the bums out of office and put decent folks in their place. There is power in the ballot box, and it can send a message that can not be mistaken. We must set an example in leadership and show these children how adults act. If you are as upset as I am, keep the head of steam boiling till this election is over and we will send these children on a permanent recess.

Do I Dare Say What I Think?
Hello,
I am always thankful that I have the privilege to live in America. And to be free with the ability to chose my own path and make decisions for me and my family. Our freedom is a very fragile thing and we need to be on guard all the time for something or someone that would erode it away.
Barack Hussein Obama seems to be doing just that. I have read a report where certain officials and law enforcement agents who support Barack Hussein Obama, from Missouri are operating a "Truth Squad" that is looking for campaign ads that appeared to be false or misleading, Gov. Matt Blunt today likened the intimidation to "police state tactics."
The Obama campaign also sent "threatening" letters to several news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio demanding they stop airing ads exposing Obama's gun stance, according to the National Rifle Association.
In a speech given on July 2nd, Barack Hussein Obama said that when he becomes president he would start a, "Civilian Security Force", with the same power has the military. You can find the video of the speech and hear it for yourself, but the text has been removed from the transcript of the speech. It seems that to many people became alarmed by such statements.
These items seem to tell us that our freedoms could rest in the hands of someone who does not know or care about them. If he is willing to abuse our freedom of speech just to get elected, what might happen is he is elected and has the power remove them permanently? There is something very frightening about all this. It is like I am having a very bad dream, but this time I might wake up to a "POLICE STATE".

A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned!
Hello,
Well, this is another fine mess we find ourselves in, thank you very much. We have a major, I mean major financial problem just waiting to drag all of our financial institutions down the old pop chute. But where did this all start?
Back in the nighties under the Clinton administration they decided that all minorities should be able to own a home. They also thought that those in low income bracket should also have a shot at home ownership. This is a good thought and one worthy of looking into. But, when you lower the standards to get a mortgage you are inviting a disaster.
Now this is exactly what they did. And there was all kind of sweetheart deals for politicians and high muckity mucks.
There were people trying to sound the alarm about this very dangerous practise, but no one was listening. It would seem that the Demarcates were courting more minorities to add to their voting block for the 2000 election, Gore was suppose to be a shoe in.
In 2005 a bill was sponsored by Senator McCain and others to regulate Fanny and Freddy. But the Demarcates would not let the bill out of committee. At that time if they would have moved on this issue they could have stopped this melt down before it occurred. But there was to much money being handed out in special mortgages and as always, there is campaign money to be had.
As this thing hit wall street and the banking companies, there seems to be a total disaster ready to happen. So the bail out, which at first was going to be business as usual. Which would mean that the top executives would walk away with millions. Thank the people for their instant unanimous scream of not this time. As I write they are still trying to hammer out a bail out bill.
For all of you liberal and socialist thinking people. Take a good look at what can happen when you experiment with socialism. Because that is exactly what happened back during the Clinton administration. A socialist experiment that almost cost this nation more that it could stand. They could of plunged this country into a severe depression with all the trimmings. Such as poverty of the likes that has not been seen for centuries. Also lives, people die when all hell is unleashed.
I say this up front, I have had a belly full of people like this Reid, Dodd, Pelosi, and the rest of those who lie to further their candidate and them selves. There is no excuse for it. They need to be driven from Washington DC by the ballot box, and soon.
The Democrats are trying to make Obama look like a great leader, and McCain look like a dunce. But it is the other way around and the good people of this great land know who was there to do a job and who was there for show because of his lack of experience.

I say this up front, I have had a belly full of people like this Reid, Dodd, Pelosi, and the rest of those who lie to further their candidate and them selves. There is no excuse for it. They need to be driven from Washington DC by the ballot box, and soon.
The Democrats are trying to make Obama look like a great leader, and McCain look like a dunce. But it is the other way around and the good people of this great land know who was there to do a job and who was there for show because of his lack of experience.

Don"t Vote Blindly!
Hello,
Today, as I was thinking through some of the remarks and reporting going on in this election cycle. It occurred to me that the mainstream media (MSM) has gotten even bolder with their one sided reporting.
It has come to the point that one campaign can say and do virtually anything and it hardly raises an eyebrow. Where as the other campaign speaks and the MSM freaks.
One campaign has a flowered road to lazily swagger down. While the other must dodge mines and minds to stay upright and get their message out to the people.
One campaign is given pass on policy and personal beliefs. While the other is so scrutinized that one would think they are the worst dregs of humane society. Even when there is nothing there the MSM will gleefully make up something to take the breath away from the common folk.
This report card is disgraceful and shameful. It also is alarming to think that they, the MSM seems to get a free pass with no accountability.
The thought that came to me today is this, because of the MSM and all it's cohorts along with Hollywood and it's minions, has produced something that is very frightening. They have produced a mass of people that will go to the voting booth BLIND. They will cast their vote virtually blinded for the lack of the truth. They have been spoon fed just what the MSM wishes to serve up for their consumption.
You might say that is ridiculous, and I might say it is not. Here is the reason it is not. If you have 50% of all information on a specific candidate and proceed to the polls with that information in tow and cast your ballot. You have voted blindly. When you trust the MSM for your information you get the selected material. You have the stated 50% while the MSM says you have 100%. You go to the polls with your assumed 100% when in fact you only have 50%, and you vote. You have just voted blindly, no other way to say it.
When the MSM becomes your seeing eye dog it is the one that leads you through the political landscape. It also can bite you and you will never know who or what bit you. Don't forget you are blind because of the MSM.
If you want your vote to count then use it wisely. Seek the truth and check out the reporting for errors. If you find any media that is deliberately feeding you false information, flag it. Don't use it again until it has proven itself credible. We need to know the truth, for it is the truth that keeps us free.
With your vote comes a huge responsibility. It is to be cherished and nurtured with respect and cared for deeply. That vote you have came to you at a very high price. Many, many Americans laid down their lives so we could cast our votes in freedom and with all the knowledge we can muster in a free country. Use your vote wisely!

God Keeps His Promises, On Time, Every Time!
Hello,
It has been another one of those great Sundays with family and friends. Our family traditionally has been church goers. We gather in the Lords house for worship and fellowship. The history of our country is one of worship by families. We as a nation are the better for it. I believe it is one of the reasons we are as strong as we are. But the times are changing a little. There seems to be a falling away from our traditions and responsibilities.
How do we regain the solid footing that we once had? Does Gods word give us a recipe for restoration? Well it does and it will work every time it is applied. The recipe is,
2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
We as Christians are called to be different, not because we are better but because People should be able to see Christ in us and through us. We are ambassadors of our Lord and should conduct ourselves accordingly.
If we humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. Then and only then will God hear, forgive and heal.
Christian, it is our move, are you ready to see God keep His promise.

Isolate The Enemy, Not Each Other!
Hello,
As I ponder the state of our country. It occurs to me that we have slipped deep into isolationism. Not isolationism as one would think but isolation from one another. We live close to our neighbors and we no nothing about them. We have forgotten what it means to be a friend and a companion in times of need and in times of joy. We are split right down the middle with philosophy and political desires that seem to stagger and upend the common good. Instead of someone leading us out of this state, we are being dragged deeper into it with all the politics and campaigning. To pit one against the other for political gain is one of the lowest and meanest things that can be done. And to pit one race against another is pure evil. Any intent to gain by the suffering of others is a subhuman characteristic. If the shoe fits, wear it.
We live in a very dangerous world. There are people and groups of people who would do anything to destroy us. Contrary to liberal opinion we do not deserve this attitude toward us. If people from America would remember we are all Americans and keep their mouths shut when they go outside of our country we would not have such a bad reputation that we do not deserve. Some people seem to think when they wag their tongues that people are impressed by their slander of our country. Instead it just inflames and fans the already flames in existence. Patriotism should be part of our lives each and every day. But it should be the dominate factor when we go abroad. You got a grip keep it at home. Airing dirty laundry in places other than home is inviting bloodshed of our fellow citizens. Their are those just looking for a reason to attack us. Some don't need a reason, just an opportunity. We are in this together and we need to remember that when we stand together we have a chance of survival.
Let us walk together and live together and have a future together.

"It Means I'm Saved And Forgiven"
Hello,
I read a very interesting piece about Senator John McCain and his faith. When asked by Rick Warren what it meant to be a Christian, he said, "it means I'm saved and forgiven". He does not wear his faith on his sleeve for all to see. But those that were with him in the Hanoi Hilton say he is a man of great faith and his faith inspired others. John McCain says they inspired him. Needless to say he appears to be a man of great faith.
The father of our country was a man of great faith also, I reject outright those who say he was a deist. George Washington did not wear his faith on his sleeve either. But the General George Washington was a man of strong faith, as one can tell by the following account.
In 1777 while the American army lay at Valley Forge, a good old Quaker by the name of Potts had occasion to pass through a thick woods near headquarters. As he traversed the dark brown forest, he heard, at a distance before him, a voice which as he advanced became more fervid and interested.
Approaching with slowness and circumspection, whom should he behold in a dark bower, apparently formed for the purpose, but the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United Colonies on his knees in the act of devotion to the Ruler of the Universe!
At the moment when Friend Potts, concealed by the trees, came up, Washington was interceding for his beloved country. With tones of gratitude that labored for adequate expression he adored that exuberant goodness which, from the depth of obscurity, had exalted him to the head of a great nation, and that nation fighting at fearful odds for all the world holds dear....
Soon as the General had finished his devotions and had retired, Friend Potts returned to his house, and threw himself into a chair by the side of his wife. "Heigh! Isaac!" said she with tenderness, "thee seems agitated; what's the matter?"
"Indeed, my dear" quoth he, "if I appear agitated 'tis no more than what I am. I have seen this day what I shall never forget. Till now I have thought that a Christian and a soldier were characters incompatible; but if George Washington be not a man of God, I am mistaken, and still more shall I be disappointed if God does not through him perform some great thing for this country."
Isaac Potts labeled George Washington a soldier, Christian and a man of God solely by what he heard from the prayer of the "Commander-in-Chief".
God knows the heart and what man among us would try to lie to God who knows all things.

The Tale Of Two Standards.
Hello,
Yesterday Sarah Palin's private e-mail account was hacked into and her personal information accessed. The mainstream media made mention of the happening, while the McCain camp cried foul. Now I would like for you to imagine what the response would of been had this happened to Barack Hussein Obama.
It would seem that the mainstream media has one standard for the Republicans and another standard for the Demarcates. The other day on the show "The View" they had Senator John McCain on and boy did he get hammered. Barbra Walters would not even look at him when she was asking questions. But several days before when Barack Hussein Obama was on you would of thought they had found their true love.
It has gotten so bad that the MSM doesn't even try to hide the fact they are bias and they support Barack Hussein Obama.
The only option for We The People is to turn off the MSM and let their financial woes drag them to the wood shed to get what they deserve.

Come November, We Will Remember!
Hello,
Drill for oil offshore, the House Democrats say yes. But wait just a minute, drill on how much area of sea bottom?
They have produced a bill that sounds like they got the message from the voters when they went home, but did they? The answer is no, they did not. They are trying to make a splash for the upcoming election. But the people are starting to wise up to their shenanigans.
They have tried to shut down the argument to lift the ban on all drilling. They made the appearance to give in to popular demand and satisfy the uprising. When in fact they have raised a smoke screen to shelter their pandering to the environmentalist wackos. This arrogance must be dealt with come election time in November.
Lifting the ban on all drilling will send a message across the whole spectrum of the oil industry. From the oil companies to those Arab oil producers that manipulate our welfare and security. To the oil companies, go get the oil. To the Arabs stick your oil where the sun don't shine.
Come November, we will remember!

Who Do You Trust, A known, Or An Unknown?
Hello, As I sit and ponder the candidates we have to chose from, I become a little troubled.
On one hand we have a very old man with a long history. He has been documented and is who he says he is. He has suffered greatly at the hands of his captors during the war. He has been left with a damaged body but his spirit seems in tack and his outlook is positive. He has made some mistakes that he does not seem to try to dodge. He has been up front with most of the things that concern me. But, it still troubles me when he seems to bypass our Constitution. Yet I truly believe he would lay down his life for his country. He is a true patriot and a man's man. His hand picked running mate is everything I could ask for in a politician. I believe that she will do great things for our country and be well remembered. That is John McCain and Sarah Palin.
On the other hand, we have a very young man with a short history. He has not been documented. I can find a lot of allusions as to where he has come from. But I still do not have a clue as to where that might be. He seems to have an aversion to the military and has on occasions side steeped any contact with them. On July the second, in a speech he gave he said if he is elected, he would start a Civilian Security Force with the same power as the military. This goes beyond scary to down right nightmarish. He seems more than ready to spend money as fast as he can get his hands on it. One of my concerns is that there are people who are calling him the Messiah and they believe he is. They have web sites to this affect with a very large following. Even in the U.S. congress one member from Tennessee said, he was a community organizer like Jesus Christ. People the Lord Jesus Christ was not a community organizer because He was a little bit busy saving the world and gaining a throne. But my concern is that, Barack Hussein Obama has never put a stop to this and set the record straight. I have never heard him say, you should not say things like that. There is only one Messiah and that is Jesus Christ Himself. As far as I can tell he has been silent on this matter. I wonder why? He has chosen for his running mate Senator Joe Biden who will be remembered for this now infamous line, "stand up Chuck so the people can see ya." This is not what you say to a man in a wheel chair.
In the early history of our country the preachers would preach election day sermons. They would preach God's criteria on what a public servant should be like and then the people would prayerfully cast their votes. I wish this would come back in style. May God bless America.
All is well down on the farm.

GREED, and GREED, Is Still GREED
Hello, it is a sad day with the financial world being turned upside down. Lehman Brothers bankruptcy has started something that could get worse and worse. Where all this will end, who knows?
There is one thing that stands out from this mess. It is simply GREED. GREED can and does completely warp the mind so that it can not think clearly and with any humanity. Those who are responsible for this are in a situation that when they come back to their right mind, if they ever do, will see the disaster they have brought on their fellow man. And when they become human again they will wonder how they could of done such a thing. GREED, is a very powerful force, one that can rule and dominate. Just look at the makers and shakers that brought this on. GREED creates arrogance and arrogance left unchecked becomes murderous.
I hope this time that the little guy is not left holding the bag. It seems that us common folk are the ones that pay tab for the reckless behavior of the self proclaiming elite. May God help us.

There Is More To Fall Than Just To Vote.
Hello, it is a nice quite night and Fall is just around the corner. We farmers like to see our bins full of grain and plenty of hay in the barn for Winter. It is a good feeling when the snow starts to fly and the animals are all tucked into the barn munching away on hay and grain. It gives me a sense of fulfillment. It is hard to explain, but it is like a total feeling of peace and contentment with no worries.
Fall also brings out the splendor of creation. The never ending array of colors just dripping from the trees and foliage. When God paints a picture it is worth the time spent drinking it all in. I never grow faint looking at the amazing panorama that is free for the looking.
I truly feel sorry for those who are locked in the big cities and can not see such wonders and splendor. To watch nature moving through her seasons with a regular host of activities and spectacular sights. I truly count myself blessed to live in America and have the good fortune to live on a farm.
Just take the time, as the seasons come and go, to look deeply into the wonders that are in your sight. No matter where you live there is always something to see and give praise for.
May God richly bless America and each American.
For all is well down on the farm.

ARROGANCE, ARROGANT, Give Caution To Them.
Hello, Tonight I would like to talk about two words that our found in any good American dictionary. .
ARROGANCE,
The act or quality of taking much upon one's self; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; conceitedness; presumption.
ARROGANT,
1. Assuming; making or having the disposition to make exorbitant claims of rank or estimation; giving one's self an undue degree of importance; haughty; conceited; applied to persons.
2. Containing arrogance; marked with arrogance; proceeding from undue claims of self importance; applied to things; as arrogant pretensions or behavior.
I would say that arrogance never sleeps. While the arrogant do. Arrogance never goes on vacation, the arrogant do. Arrogance never rests, the arrogant do. Arrogance never weakens, the arrogant do.
The arrogant are people and they seem to reside in Washington DC. Arrogance is what controls the arrogant and will not set them free. To be over come with arrogance is to banish one's self to isolation and to dwell in a self made kingdom. To rule with power and self exaltation, always first never last. A group of arrogant people getting together is the most loneliest of places to be residing. Arrogance says, I know better what is good for you than you know for yourself. Arrogance mandate control of the people by the arrogant, who believe they are for the common good. To enslave a people with chains of bondage so that the arrogant can satisfy the craving of arrogance.
Arrogance's mortal enemies are love and compassion. They seek to destroy arrogance and set the arrogant free. And it is the humbleness of the people that can render arrogance into the realm of impotence. It is hard to show compassion to one who is trying to dominate you. But patience will prevail and give the lasting victory.
We the people need to let the arrogant know we will never give in to their style of existence and we will win the day. May the God of mercies bless America.

When A Pig Is A Pig And Lipstick Is Lipstick
Hello, what a time we are having in this presidential race now. Open mouth and insert foot, seems to be the rule of the day. The remark from presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama, "You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig."Now I really don't believe he meant that for Governor Sarah Palin. But, when the crowd started clapping and standing in approval of what he said he should of clarifies his remark. Also, he should never, never use the word lipstick again. That word is an open door for disaster whether you want it to be or not.
There is a danger when you think that every word that comes out of your mouth is the greatest thing that has ever been spoken by any mortal on earth. This arrogance can and will produce the kind of effect that has hit the Obama campaign. When your are humble you have a tendency to think before you speak, that can be a great comfort and eliminator of pain and embarrassment.
Barack Hussein Obama can't understand why the press is so tough on him. The answer is, they are not, they are doing their job, finally, and reporting the news and not trying to make the news. When the press is doing their job, both sides should be complaining of unfairness. This tells us the press is getting it right with middle of the road reporting.
The truth has to be the front runner in all reporting. Then and only then do we, the people, have a fair chance to vote with intelligence and integrity. It is are duty to be informed as best as we can with what we have available to us. The press needs to continue to step up to the plate.

This arrogance can and will produce the kind of effect that has hit the Obama campaign. When your are humble you have a tendency to think before you speak, that can be a great comfort and eliminator of pain and embarrassment.
Barack Hussein Obama can't understand why the press is so tough on him. The answer is, they are not, they are doing their job, finally, and reporting the news and not trying to make the news. When the press is doing their job, both sides should be complaining of unfairness. This tells us the press is getting it right with middle of the road reporting.
The truth has to be the front runner in all reporting. Then and only then do we, the people, have a fair chance to vote with intelligence and integrity. It is are duty to be informed as best as we can with what we have available to us. The press needs to continue to step up to the plate.
For all is well down on the farm.

A Farmer's Poem, "The Old Corner Post"
It's Sunday and I thought something a little more appropriate would be in order. The beliefs of America are deep. Our need to grasp their conviction and depth of character is as appropriate today as yesterday. I hope you enjoy.
Sleep tight, for all is well down on the farm.

The Old Corner Post
My memory of our old farm stays with me still,
Running through the fields and topping every hill.
Summer days filled with pure joy and youthful fun,
Learning life’s lessons as each new day had begun.
I remember my dad’s stories that he instinctively shared,
The deeply rooted foundations instilled because he cared.
The lessons handed down from our generation gone past,
The rock hard lessons with images you draw on to last.
The one lesson that serves me well its image I remember best,
It was about my great grandfather when he was put to the test.
It has to do with the old corner post, the one he set so deep,
Before the barn was built and only a shack they had to sleep.
He struggled with his faith he wavered back and forth, to and fro,
One time he’s off to heaven then it was the other place he’d surly go.
Great grandma had told him time after time you better get it straight,
For when your life is over it’s not a time to wonder or having this debate.
So he was passing by his next door neighbor one sunny fruitful day,
And he noticed a big old scraggly tree standing in his neighbor’s way.
He went up to his neighbor to ask him about the lonely scraggly old tree,
He said “ho my friend about that tree, it seems a poor place for it to me”.
His neighbor only smiled and turned warmly to the old tree and gazed,
This tree allows me to turn my head up to heaven and offer up my praise.
You see that steel spike that is sticking out of the side of that old tree,
I drove it in there on purpose when I was of the age of thirty-three.
I believed and started to understand the good book, I read it every day,
I just couldn’t settle my destination, I couldn’t keep it in my mind to stay.
Until I read the verse, in His hands I am secure, nothing could pull me free,
I finally understood so I drove the nail into that spot, representing my security.
As great grandfather headed home contemplating all he had heard,
He suddenly understood it by those verses that came from the word.
It became a settled thing he had found the truth a great peace and rest,
He also would find something he could turn to help pass life’s wavering test.
It came to him on the way home his anchor would be a corner post,
It would be a post standing very deep, his security it would host.
He stopped by a grove of locust examining every large tree,
He finally found the one he wanted it was straight and limb free.
He went on home and gathered his ax not a word did he say,
Great grandma saw him passing by, ax in hand hurrying on his way
He came to the grove and went to the work of falling that big old tree,
With time to think and ponder all things, he spiritually began to see.
After a while the cutting all done he comes slowly up the road
His back all haunched carrying and dragging a tremendous load.
Great grandma ran to him, what was the matter, she had to see,
Stopping he said prayerfully, “I am not the First to carry a tree.”
The sweat was dripping as he smiled and then passed on by,
A believer’s flood of assurance passed over her, she began to cry.
She quickly caught up to him and slowly walked by his loving side,
That would be the pattern for every day, she glowed with loving pride.
As they continued up the road he labored with every step,
Thinking to himself that there are promises that must be kept.
She headed to her duties of dusting and cleaning every pot,
He labored on to reach his destination and select the very spot.
He took his post and shaved it, then treated it with oil,
He dug his hole very deep with grateful labor and toil.
He set the post to the bottom and lined it fast with stone,
He covered it with dirt he pressed, the post stood up alone.
When his work was finished he backed up and bowed his head,
If I ever doubt my destination I’ll waver not, but look at the post instead.
For in His hands I am eternally secure nothing can snatch me out,
That’s what this post reminds me of so I don’t waste time in doubt.
With that he took out his knife and began to carve on a spot so dear,
He set the tone for his posterity by cutting in his name, day and year.
As the story goes he used this post to instruct his very first son,
No matter where you go in life there must be a point from where it begun.
And as my father instructed me with words that were so full and good,
For all the generations past they were instructed by this post of wood.
There has to be a foundation in life, a point from which to go out and in.
This old corner post has always spiritually been the place where we begin.
I can remember my father taking me by the hand and opening up my sight,
And by that old corner post is where he showed me the Truth and the Light.
He told me the story of great grandfather and how this corner post come to be,
He showed me all the names and dates and even the spot waiting there for me.
He led me to the Truth that day and helped me carve the date and name,
And I look forward soon one day with my son that I will do the same.
I have finally come home to our farm and here is where I plan to stay,
To watch my family grow tall and strong bonded together in work and play.
My father is gone now and rejoices with those that are listed on the post,
All the generations gathering together with the heavenly host.
While here on this land we share our story and with the time make the most,
For one day we all will gather around the One and only True Corner Post.

"The love of money is the root of all evil"
Hello, It seems that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being taken over by the Fed's. Our economy is slipping just a tad. We do not seem to have much confidence in it at this time. Why?
A big portion of a booming economy comes from people feeling good about it and them selves. And it just churns right along no problems. But if for some reason you would like to see the economy go into a slump, all you need is a willing mainstream media and some doom and gloom politicians to scream the sky is falling and presto, you have an almost recession.
There has been one party in particular that has been screaming of a recession even though we are not in one. And that screaming has put fear into the hearts of the people. So the economy starts to slide.
Some people will do anything for power and money. They do not seem to have a working conscious or any compassion to go along with it. Greed is a terrible thing and very dangerous.
The bible tells us that, "The love of money is the root of all evil". As usual the bible is right. People who are in love with money can never get enough of it. Just ask someone who is in love with it how much they want till they are satisfied. If you see them in deep thought, don't wait around for an answer, it will not be pleasant.
Friend, love your neighbor as yourself and life will start getting better, guaranteed.

The Tale of Two Kings
Hello, well now the Democrat and Republican conventions are finally over and life will never be the same. It would seem that the air is still full of B/S though improving slightly over time. My opinion is the first did most of the polluting and the last gave a breath of fresh air to lift our spirits. But there will be renewed injection of bile to go around, I am sure.
But what do we have now to try to decipher? Maybe we should call it The Tale of Two Kings. Both in search of control of the kingdom.
Our first king is an old man that has been around the kingdom as a knight for a long time. He has seen battle and blood and has won his spot in the kingdom's Hall of the Brave Warriors. He has put down his sword and lance and picked up the pen and scrolls of the kingdom's laws. For years our aged warrior has fought a tough fight in what his heart has told him to do. Not all of us have agreed with the old warrior and have made it known. He has changed slightly over the years and has become more in line with some of the people's beliefs. He seems to be willing to change more and become more in tune with the realm and its people. Our aged warrior senses danger from other kingdoms and is sounding the warning to all that will listen. His warriors experience allows him to know what possibly could lay ahead and prepare the kingdom for it. His senses are still keen and very much aware of danger. Our old warrior has selected his second in command, a fair lass with the heart of a lion. She illuminates the old warrior code of a steel will and a toughness that will not be denied. She is willing to stand in the gap to turn back the tide of evil. Together they would exalt the kingdom and secure the safety of its people. their hearts desire is to serve the people.
Our second king comes from a bit of a mysterious back ground. He does not seem to have a cut and dried beginning. Many in the kingdom have tried to find out about our would be king and have failed. He does not make it clear about his beginning and his service to the kingdom. He has not been bloodied in battle for the kingdom and has no knowledge of what it takes to keep a kingdom free. He is young and full of new ideas that are not so much new for they have been tried before and failed. But he feels that his ideas will work with some adapting to our needs. A lot of people in the kingdom seem to be in a trance when he talks and forget that substance is a must. There are some who are trying to make this king a god of the realm with godly powers. This too has been tried before and has lead to all out war. He has selected for his second in command a white haired plagiarist to sound the alarm that the sky is falling. The plagiarist will quite readily tell you that he knows more than you and in his infinite wisdom will enlighten you with his great intelligence. He feels his grasp of the English language is second to none and he, the exalted one, will break down the words into small syllables so we can understand what the plagiarist is trying to tell us. This plagiarist and his king feel it is their right to control the kingdom even with out the experience that is needed. They do not have the awareness of the danger that lurks without.
Well these two kings will go head to head and the people will decide the out come. And may the God of light illuminate our minds that we will chose wisely.
God bless America!

Will Sarah Palin Be God's Tool?
Hello, last night was the speech of Governor Sarah Palin. She did the job and then some. I was very impressed with her and what she has accomplished in her time in politics. She is as they say a new star in the political arena.
Now to be upfront, I have some trouble with women in politics. But I truly believe that when good men are not ready to serve, God will raise up women to fill the need at the time. I believe He has raised up a tremendous tool in which He can work. I believe that we will see great things happen with Sarah Palin.
The liberals are in full attack mode against this nominee for the Republican vice president. That should tell us something of the stature of Sarah Palin. When the left howls we are on the right track, full steam ahead.
There is a truth that must be stated at this time. It is this, if our country is to survive it must reclaim it's righteousness. We must do the right thing without weighing the political chips first. When we start doing the right thing each time then it will become a habit and no thinking is required.
I believe that some people have the natural ability to do the right thing first with out thinking and one of these people is Sarah Palin. I truly hope it rubs off on Senator McCain and he also does the right thing with out having to think to long about it.
This McCain/Palin ticket can be a real blessing to this country, if McCain is willing to learn from his running mate. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Only time will tell what the outcome will be.

Moronic Arrogant Twiddle
Hello, it has been a tough time trying to pick a horse in the presidential race, But it has gotten a lot easier now that McCain has picked his VP. I really like this Governor Sarah Palin and what she stands for.
She must be pretty good and just what the doctor ordered. Because the mainstream media (MSM) is trying their best to trash her and her family. All I have been hearing is about her daughter and the out of wedlock baby. Even though they are going to do the right thing and keep the baby and her and the babies father are going to wed. They, MSM even have insinuated that the Governor's downs syndrome baby was her daughter's and she is claiming it.
New phrase, Moronic Arrogant Twiddle, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the liberal Democrat's main stream media in full attack mode.
They, the MSM has seemed to have forgotten Senator Biden's son's escapades and activities,but he is a liberal democrat. I always forget the minor details. Oh well, America is getting very tired of this business as usual in the MSM. And they eventually will have their say. It will come in the form of viewerless broadcasts from our would be I know better than you who should be President media.
Here is a very simple remedy for the upcoming collapse of the MSM. Just simply report the truth. That is the truth that is opposite of a lie. Not the truth as you, the MSM see it. If you want to survive you had better have a revival of the press in a historical proportion.
Moronic Arrogant Twiddle that oozes, loses.

We Have a Constitution
Hello, The Olympics are over and life is getting back to normal. But wait, now the Democrat's convention has started. It's another sporting activity with winners and losers.
I have not watched any of it but I have read some of the comments and am not impressed with the antics and conniving going on. In both parties can one find any grown ups in charge or is this it?
I am totally disappointed in the offerings we have this election cycle.
Does anyone remember the Constitution, does anyone embrace it?
More to come later.

If You Need a Hug, Give a Hug!
Hello, there are times when all seems well with everything that is around you. Today is one of those times. We had a good day at church and the fellowship was amazing. The weather when we
got home was fantastic. And the grandkids were all peaches and cream. What a blessing to enjoy.
Then there are times when you could sell out to the first one that has an offer. But don't despair when that occurs, for it will pass and I have noticed we have a tendency to forget the nasties and remember the great times with good clarity.
If you are down tonight , find someone to hug. If there isn't any one to hug, hug yourself. But hug someone or something. There is something nourishing about a hug, heck lets all get fat.
Just remember you are not alone. Especially if you are a Christian. We are never alone and that is the greatest knowledge and most fulfilling awareness one can have.
If you do not know the Lord get in touch with Him now and live.

When We Care We All Win!
Hello, and good morning. Are you watching the Olympics on TV? I sure am and I said I wasn't going to get caught up in it this time.
The thrill of competition can draw you in like a very strong magnet. It got me last night with the men's relay team in swimming. The heavily favoured French with their trash talking members got the blood moving again. And boy that finish by the anchor swimmer. We got the gold, go USA.
There seems to be a sense of camaraderie and togetherness when it comes to competition in sports. I find my self saying things like, we, us, and ours when talking of events and accomplishments. I don't know how other countries act during this time, but in America we have talked like this for most of 388 years. I am going back as far as the Pilgrims.
We as Americans seem to be drawn together in tough times and good times. We are different and you can dance around this issue all you want but in the end you have to see we are different. Not in a bad sense but in heart warming sense.
I can best explain what I mean with an example of a sporting event that happened 15 years ago. My sons were on the cross country team of our local school. We all were at a meet and enjoying the festivities and the race my sons were in. We were rooting them along through the race, finally everyone was at the finish line to shout and clap and cheer. In they come and we were victorious, hurrah! As we celebrated and were ecstatic about there finish other racers were still crossing the finish line to their fans celebrations. When all was said and done every one was happy. But out on the course was a lone runner struggling along. He was not one of the top athletes to say the least but he was trying and faltering a little. People started to gather along the course and root him along, even the runners that had just finished the race. You would of thought he was leading the Boston Marathon and by golly he finished to cheers and hoops and clapping.
You see, that is America. We celebrate our victories and have compassion for those who are struggling. We reach out to the ones in need and celebrate their victories also. Only in America can you find this kind of spirit in such abundance.
Go America and may God Bless.

When all was said and done every one was happy. But out on the course was a lone runner struggling along. He was not one of the top athletes to say the least but he was trying and faltering a little. People started to gather along the course and root him along, even the runners that had just finished the race. You would of thought he was leading the Boston Marathon and by golly he finished to cheers and hoops and clapping.
You see, that is America. We celebrate our victories and have compassion for those who are struggling. We reach out to the ones in need and celebrate their victories also. Only in America can you find this kind of spirit in such abundance.
Go America and may God Bless.

Go America
Hello, the Olympics are in full swing now. I love watching the competition and rutting on the American athletes.
I see that one of the Iranian swimmers refused to swim against an Israeli swimmer. So much for the spirit of the Olympics.
Iran is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. For this reason, their president would like nothing better than to start WWIII. In fact He thinks it is his calling in life to start this war.
A nuclear weapon in the hands of this idiot is like playing Russian roulette with every chamber loaded. He must be stopped or we had better be prepared for all out war.
So watch the Olympics and rest easy for now.

Hang Tough, Hang Close America
Hello, I see that oil is coming down a little. I hope people don't ease up on the pressure being put on our politicians. Even those that seem to disappear when things start getting a little tough.
We are in a situation that can not be handled unless we all roll up our sleeves and work together. Americans have always been able to do what ever is necessary to achieve the impossible. Boy, just take a look at the history of this country and be amazed.
I love the way our countrymen come through in a pinch. Turn us loose and stand back and watch us get it done. But we can not function with big government on our backs. They have to rein in their spending and their cumbersome bills that they drape around our necks.
American ingenuity is the best, bar none, our countrymen can and will come up with alternatives to energy from oil. We can do it, but please congress don't tie our hands. Set us free and let us take care of ourselves
A lot of our trouble comes from those that think they are God's answer to our need for leadership. In reality they are screwing things up. They are sabotaging our effort with there pork barrel politics and the laws they pass to control us whether we need it or not.
Being enslaved by someone you elect and trust leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. And causes the blood pressure to rise. I truly believe that we need to clean house and senate as soon as this next election cycle comes. We need to send a message.
Hang tough, hang close my fellow Americans, and may God richly bless each of us.

There Is Still The Need To Drill
Hello, I see that the Republicans are still fighting hard for lifting the ban on drilling for oil. They are still debating the bill even thought he house speaker and her handy dandy bunch of gangsters are on vacation while we the people are suffering from being held hostage by the Arab oil countries.
Will someone please tell house speaker Polosi that she is not irreplaceable or any of her sidekicks masquerading as servants of the people. That they have a responsibility to us not the environmental wackos that seem to rule the roost.
Is house speaker Polosi so insulated from the people that she does not have a clue to are needs? Or is she just so arrogant that we the peons have nothing to say to her Majesty? Does she think that she can escape the after math of this explosive situation? She must!
My fellow Americans, now is the time, now is the opportunity, now we must make a stand and take back our country. We need to rip the controls of this fair and great land out of the hands of the power hungry, out of the hands of the unimpressable people like Nancy Polosi. She must be impressed with who truly has the power. And that is us, at least for a while. We need to make our voices heard and heard again until we are in control again. Hang in there, the fight has just begun. May God bless America.

We Have But One Life To Live - Live It!
Hello, it was one of those rare days when all went very well. I celebrated my birthday along with my granddaughter and daughter. We had our usual family get together with it's usual fun and frolic. I thank God for family and the closeness we have.
Also today we had a carry in at church and a great time eating together. If you have never experience a church a meal together at church with a church family, boy oh boy, you have never lived. For some reason the food is out of this world.
Also today at church we had a missionary that is in the field in Spain. He told us all the things going on with the work he is doing. But what hit the hardest is that he lost his wife to cancer this past March. He took us through the life of his dear wife. It was sad and very moving. I am sure he misses her as do we all for they were well known at our church because we supported their work financially. She is home with the Lord she served and loved with all her heart.
People ask why would God takes someone so young and vibrant away from what you would think is the calling of her life. Only God knows the answer to that one. But her husband said something that hit me with great promise. The Lord Jesus Christ loved her so much that he wanted her to be with him for all eternity. She now resides in a perfect place with no pain from cancer and no worries. Its hard to let go but to know the Lord is to love him.
This kind of happening is always a wake up call for us left on the earth. We need to take advantage of every moment and every second with our loved one and friends. We do not know the hour or the time of our departure from this life. And if you have never come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ then you had better get that taken care of first. The alternative to heaven and Christ is not a pleasing one.
Friend lets try to make the most of what we have been given in this life. Lets try to be the kind of people that are pleasing to be around. We must love first before we can appreciate being loved.
May God richly bless each of us with His amazing grace.
