The Sixth Day!!!

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

HIS OPINION OF OBAMACARE

A Time for Choosing (1964)

A Time for Choosing (27 October 1964) This was a televised speech in support of the presidential campaign of Senator Barry Goldwater; often referred to as "The Speech" which launched Reagan's career as a politician. Reagan gave other versions of this speech throughout the country, at various points during the Goldwater campaign.

You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down...
They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer — not an easy answer — but simple.
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines.

As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.

You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down — up to a man's age-old dream; the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order — or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation." And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers.

They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer — not an easy answer — but simple.
In some published transcripts or quotations of this speech a variant of this statement appears immediately before the quote by Churchill below, but was not said during Reagan's televised address on (27 October 1964). Though he did make variations of the speech elsewhere it is unclear exactly when and where he may have said used these precise words:

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.

Later variant: For many years now, you and I have been shushed like children and told there are no simple answers to the complex problems which are beyond our comprehension. Well, the truth is, there are simple answers, they just are not easy ones.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Our Civil War

2011-07-03T09:21:00.000-07:00

The Gettysburg Address

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

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

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

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

This I feel is what is going on to day.... maybe the cause of our current WAR is different but it is testing whether this Nation under GOD can and will last the test.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... GOD BLESS AMERICA !

2011-07-01T23:19:00.000-07:00

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tran-quillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

A flag at Vista High September 2001

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

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

2012 ELECTION

2011-04-25T11:16:00.000-07:00

One thing I would like to say about 2012 elections, VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!

No mater what you think of what of the Republicans or what they have done since 2010 the choice is clear, this country will not last as a country with four more years of this president and this senate as a road block.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! I once crossed the line and voted for a democrat. The year was 1976 Nixon had disgraced the office and left un-elected vice president Gerald Ford as President. When election time came Ford had seen growing inflation and a recession during his tenure. We all were thinking some one else could fix the problems facing the country..... boy were we wrong!

Carter proved to be what I call an intellectual moron, let me explain what I mean by that. It is some one who is college educated, very intelligent to what the world thinks is intelligent, but doesn't have one ounce of common sense. This person is arrogant and condescending, and would not accept help from some one even if they needed it. They are pompous, narcissistic, and egotistical, they can not or will not think practicality or rationally to solve problems. They will even use failed policy that has been tried and failed over and over again. They think it just hasn't been tried by the right people or maybe it wasn't tried correctly. One plus one is always two, but think if tried correctly it should somehow equal three.

Yes I voted for him, I was a bit ashamed by Nixon and Ford and chose to vote for Carter. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! As his term came to it's end and I saw clearly by his failures as president I would not be voting for him again. So I started looking at the Republican candidates, and one really stood out above the rest. Ronald Reagan, clearly won the primaries and was chosen to be the Republican nominee to run and be elected president, Ronaldus Magnus.

Then came "read my lips no new taxes" H.W. Bush, even with the Persian Gulf War victory in liberating Kuwait, the capture of Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega and the fall of dissolution of the USSR, one thing led to me not vote in 1992 his promise to not raise taxes.

Ronaldus Magnus' policies and direction made Clinton the Fornicator's presidency look good. Clinton once again was an intellectual moron, arrogant, condescending, pompous, narcissistic, and egotistical. He took credit for the things that were instituted by Reagan lower taxes which stimulated the economy, etc..

I did not vote for him by the way. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!

Then came the second Bush, some what like eating oatmeal without sweetener, I can do it but sweetener makes it a bit more palatable, you keep looking for that one raisin or lump of brown sugar hidden in the bowl. His presidency was somewhat like that. Then the 2008 Republican nomination McCain, to me another Bob Dole candidate... a nice guy with plenty of patriotic history but not charismatic enough to carry the presidential election.

I voted for both of the by the way. (i.e. Dole and McCain)

That brings me to where we are today this president hates America, hates entrepreneurs, hates individual freedom, hates capitalism. He loves communism, loves Marxism, loves socialism, loves fascism and loves to think that the wrong people have tried them in the wrong manner. One plus one is always two, but think if tried correctly it should somehow equal three. He like Carter and Clinton is an intellectual moron. He also is , arrogant, condescending, pompous, narcissistic, and egotistical. Unlike Clinton he blames everyone but himself for what is happening to this country, everything he promised as a candidate he has lied about.

Change you can believe in? Openness, transparency, lower unemployment.

Fool you once shame on them, fool you twice shame on you!

Whom ever the Republican candidate is....

VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

2011-01-05T21:20:00.000-08:00

I am turning 61 tomorrow January 6, 2011 and thinking back at the past years and all the different TV shows and music that I listened to, all the Cowboys and the Western singers. I was listening to my Highwayman CD on the way home from work today and was thinking about Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr., Roy Rogers, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold and the rest.

Thinking about TV shows like Sky King, My Friend Flicka, Rawhide, The Rifleman, Lassie, Ed Sullivan, The Wonderful World of Disney, Roy Rogers and many other Western shows. Cartoon shows we liked were Mighty Mouse, Donald Duck, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Underdog, Tom Terrific, Foghorn Leghorn.

I remember the candies we had when I was a kid, the penny candies tootsie rolls, kits, root beer barrels, some things were to for a penny candy bars were generally a nickel each. My favorite candy bar with Walnut crush. My favorite nickel candy was walnettos.

I remember when I was a kid thinking about the new century. The year 2000 and thinking I be 50 years old at that time, it made me wonder if the year 2000 ever come now it's come and it's 11 years later, and not only do we have computers, but I have a program that I'm talking into a headset and the computers typing this all out for me how far we come and how far have good things in of our life been left behind our family, our friends and we had when we are growing up. Now they're so far away, yet I can still remember things that we did when I was a kid like going on picnics and going on vacations, to Lacrosse Wisconsin and Minnesota, catching fish and eating butter brickle ice cream.

I remember each year we would dig up about a quarter of our yard and plant the garden, so amazing, watching all the vegetables growing all the tomatoes, beats, carrots, radishes and corn.

2010-04-03T22:42:00.000-07:00

Up from the grave he arose;
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;

Where, O death, is your victory?

O death, where is thy sting?

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

HAVE A HAPPY EASTER!!

John 10
King James Bible

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE???

2010-01-24T14:29:00.000-08:00

Water under the road (Murrieta Road in Menifee), water over the road (Newport Road in Menifee). When it rains it floods a tree stump was even washed up against Murrieta Road, and an SUV washed off Newport Road. As the sheriff said when there is a film of water on the road "you are floating". Signs were posted that the road was closed... but the foolhardy were breaking through anyway. I saw one car get pulled over and given a ticket for going around the barricades at the end of the street. The water was flowing about three inches deep on the low side of the street, shown on my boots.

Talk about crazies, I took this picture somewhere between Menifee and Lakeside CA the other day while I was driving... yes between driving and watching the rain blow like snow drifts across the road I snapped this as the wipers paused. It was at times blowing so hard the freeway slowed to 20 MPH and you could see maybe 100 feet in front of you. This picture was taken before I got to that point of my journey.

For weeks no calls several days in a row, then it starts raining and everyone is calling for me to get out in it. What a blessing!

Luke 2
King James Bible

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

RHETORICAL QUESTIONS_ WHY??

2009-08-23T13:35:00.000-07:00

Why do so many people slow down before a Green light and go speeding through Red ones??

Why do so many newer cars have turn signals that do not work??

Why do people getting on the freeway go so slowly until they are on the freeway before speeding up?? And why do so many people slow down on the freeway before an exit before getting off??

Why do so many drivers get into the fast lane and stay there even though cars are constantly passing them on the right?? “Slower traffic keep right”, this means you!

Why does the traffic in the fast lane go slower than the traffic in the slow lane??

Why do drivers going to make a right turn sit at red lights and as soon as the cross traffic gets a green light, they turn in front of them??

When you are getting on that freeway going 45 miles per hour and the traffic on the freeway is traveling at 65 to 70 miles per hour.

Remember you are not alone!

And making the cars on the freeway slow down so you can get on at that speed just is not cool. Then going directly to the faster lanes and refusing to flow with the traffic is not cool either. When you pass those signs on the road that say "Slower traffic keep right" remember this means you, especially when traffic is passing you on the right and proceeding. When I look in the rear view mirror and see cars that want to go faster than I am willing to go, no matter what my speed is I try to pull right as soon as I can.

Remember you are not alone!

When getting off the freeway and the ramp is clear don't slow the freeway traffic down to 45 - 50 miles per hour for a half a mils so you can get off.

Remember you are not alone!

Don't be an idiot and keep changing lanes back and forth as you fly through traffic, you don't get there any sooner, I see you at the red light two cars in front of me as we both get off the road. And I saw you pass a semi the other day on the shoulder and then got stuck behind other slow traffic for the next 5 miles.

Remember you are not alone!

Then this last week driving on a mountain road you rode breaks at every turn and never exceeded 50 miles per hour on the road clearly marked 55 miles per hour and passed every turn out when in fact there were at least 10 to 15 cars behind you and the solid double yellow markings prohibited us passing you for some 20 miles. Oh one motorcycle did pass illegally, but the rest impatiently waited it out. Then there was a passing zone where two motorcycles and I passed you, where you sped up and I had to go 80 miles per hour to get past. Then after a minute or so returning to the posted speed I could no longer see you in the rear view mirror, you returned to your old game.

Remember you are not alone!

<<Revelation 16>>

King James Bible

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image.

3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

There Is Power in the Blood

Lewis E. Jones, 1899

Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Refrain:
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow;
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

This card is supposed to keep you from using your own money to pay for gas just like your ATM card only no $.45 transaction fee. The only thing is there is a $250.00 restriction for the first seven day period?????

It is taking the money directly from your account just like your ATM card, believe you me it does.

Only I think this is monopolistic as it is the only card you can use and not have to pay the $.45 fee. No other station I have ever used have I had to pay a fee for using my ATM card.

How do you spell Class Action Law Suit???

I think all $.45 fees should be refunded don't you??? I was recently declined and have to wait a few more days before I can use the card to take money from my own bank account???

CHRISTIAN, GOOD MAN.... NOT!!!

2009-05-31T20:26:00.000-07:00

May 31: The body of Dr. George Tiler is removed from the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kan.

'Christian, Good Man'... NOT!!

I am sorry for what happened to this man.... but I am more sorry for all those lives this man snuffed out before they got started. This man may have went to church and volunteered but that doesn't make him a Christian. Christ would not preform abortions let alone late term abortions. People, people, people..... just going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than living in a barn makes you a cow.

43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Stopping by Woods on a Warm Day

Who’s Woods Are These,
I Just Don’t Know.
His House Could Be,
Anywhere You Know.

My Van Broke Down,
And I Have No Bars.
On This Country Road,
There Are No Cars.

It Really Seems Strange,
There No Houses Near.
No River or Lake,
The Hottest Day This Year.

I Give My Head a Scratch And Think,
Should I Enter The Woods to Take a Leak.
The Birds Are Whistling Everywhere,
And The Leaves Are Rustling in I Sneak.

The Woods Are Lovely, Warm and Deep.
But I Have Jobs I Need Keep,
And Miles to Go Before I Sleep,
And Miles to Go Before I Sleep.

Judgment of the great whore!!

2009-05-28T15:52:00.000-07:00

<<Revelation 17>>

King James Bible

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Babylon be thrown down

2009-05-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

<<Revelation 18>>

King James Bible

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

<<Revelation 19>>

King James Bible

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free andbond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

<<Revelation 20>>

King James Bible

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

<<Revelation 21>>

King James Bible

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

GRAZING WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD!

Revelation of things to come!!

2009-05-15T06:35:00.000-07:00

<<Revelation 22>>

King James Bible

1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Shanna Moakler Resigns.... Whaaa!

2009-05-13T20:22:00.000-07:00

This woman needs to shut up she is such a hypocrite she supports gay marriage and she thinks that makes her a role model for young women.

Moakler has appeared in her own ad supporting gay rights, shooting a print ad on April 28 that slammed Proposition 8, the initiative that banned gay marriage in California.

Role model??? She has been in the following publications: Playboy, Maxim, Stuff!

After all which picture of Carie is more revealing ???

State of partial or total nudity?????

2009-05-06T08:31:00.000-07:00

“The photo in question was taken was I was a minor, several months before the 2005 pageant,” the note, dated May 5, 2009, read. “The photo was not meant for disclosure to the general public.”

Carrie told Access she feels targeted because of her stance on traditional marriages, saying, “I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures including lingerie and swimwear photos.”

According to page 15 of her Miss USA contract, obtained by Access Hollywood, she’s barred from being “photographed in a state of partial or total nudity.”

Carrie’s contract with Miss California USA also prohibits nudity, stating on page five, “appearing in public or permitting myself to be photographed in a state of partial or total nudity or in a lewd, compromising or sexually suggestive manner constitutes a violation of this provision (this includes photographs of images that may appear on any Web site, such as MySpace of Facebook).”

THIS CAUSES ME TO WONDER WHAT THE MEANING OF IS, IS. THESE GIRLS ARE PARTIALLY NUDE AT THE PAGEANT!

Carrie Prejean, I support your stand !!

2009-04-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

I applaud your stand in favor of opposite sex “marriage” Miss California Carrie Prejean. You fully represent the majority of those who voted for prop 8 last November. Being politically correct just to win would have been unconscionable on your part. For Mario and others (i.e. Keith Lewis, Scott Ihrig, Former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, et al) to have such vehement disagreements with your stated opinion shows what kind of people they are. For Mario to have called you what he did is despicable and low, clearly he will pay at the judgment seat of Christ for the way he chooses to live and treat other people. Political correctness has gone way to far and those who choose to take that path will only find great disappointment at the end of that road. These people bring up the fact that Iowa and Vermont recently adopted gay marriage. The real fact is that “we the people” in Iowa voted against gay marriage and a judge said that the peoples will was unconstitutional.

And once again a judicial branch made legislation.

Isn’t that unconstitutional in itself?

What constitution gives the judicial branch of government the power to right law??

"It's ugly," said Scott Ihrig, a gay man, who attended the pageant with his partner. "I think it's ridiculous that she got first runner-up. That is not the value of 95 percent of the people in this audience. Look around this audience and tell me how many gay men there are."

Ask yourself one question.... what in the hell are gay men doing at the Miss USA pageant????

Don't you think that would be repulsive to gay men??

POLITICIANS ARE THE PROBLEM !!

2009-03-31T14:55:00.000-07:00

I disagree with some on TV who say we should respect the President, this President shows nothing but contempt and disdain for this Great Country and it's Constitution. And a matter of fact show contempt and arrogance for the hard working people. He and so many in the House and Senate think they are far superior to the working class in America.

I say call it like it is, these people are so arrogant and egotistical it is almost beyond belief. To see them attack business men for failing in their business when they are failing to govern as they should be according to the Constitution. They also make laws on how businesses are to run, then cry when those rules are the downfall of companies. You just can’t have it both ways. The condescending way they attack American business is shameful, but I forgot these politicians have NO SHAME.

Legislate how business is to be done then don’t take the blame when their rules run companies into the ground. Politicians are what the problem is with our current economic condition in the U.S. and no matter what they say or do they will only make a big mess of things, just like the have the Government. Social security, etc..

You can’t micro-manage every thing and not have problems. Look at USSR (now Russia), China and other countries who have tried or are now trying. People will only stand for so much, then look out.

Heads will roll!!!

“Character Matters”

2009-03-19T19:21:00.000-07:00

The founders knew this important fact, “Character Matters”.

Spending and bonuses isn't all we should be mad at business executives and congress for. It is the lack of morals, integrity, character of many those members. They all take money from lobbyists and accept cost of living raises even when many of their constituents are losing their jobs and homes. And the only reason they are talking about doing away with the next years cost of living increase is because it was found out and is being talked about in the news.

Look at Sen. Dodd’s outrage at those bonuses when he took $103,100 from A.I.G in campaign dollars and took some sweetheart deal from Countrywide to finance his house, what a hypocrite!

“Character Matters”

I am tired of beating a dead horse, but the thing just doesn’t know when to stay down!

Some of them should do what is the honorable thing and resign, drink the Kool Aid or fall on their sword, their choice. I personally think resigning would be to good for them, because of the live time pensions they would receive.

Obama says that The Constitution is a charter of "negative liberties", excuse me but only a socialist liberal like him would cry about the restraints the Founding Fathers knew would be needed to keep governments from taking the unalienable God given rights away from it's citizens. The Founding Fathers sought to minimize governments intervention and interference in the lives of the people.

It's a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" .... "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

It's all right here Mr Obama, the rights and responsibilities of our State and Federal governments:

(Read it and weep !!! )

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

WHAT'S FAIR ABOUT THIS

2009-02-12T20:24:00.000-08:00

PETITION TO BLOCK CONGRESSIONAL
ATTACKS ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS

To: U.S. Congress, President of the United States, Supreme Court of the United States

Whereas, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances";

Whereas, members of Congress are recently on record saying they want to re-impose the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" on U.S. broadcasters, or else accomplish the same goal of censoring talk radio by other means, and thereby establish government and quasi-government watchdogs as the arbiters of "fairness" rather than the free and open marketplace of ideas;

Whereas, the U.S. experimented with the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" for 38 years—from 1949 through 1987—during which time it was repeatedly used by presidents and other political leaders to muzzle dissent and criticism;

Whereas, the abandonment of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987, thanks to President Ronald Reagan, resulted in an unprecedented explosion of new and diverse voices and political speech—starting with Rush Limbaugh—that revitalized the AM radio band and provided Americans with a multitude of alternative viewpoints;

Whereas, talk radio is one of the most crucial components of the free press in America, and is single-handedly responsible for informing tens of millions of Americans about what their government leaders are doing;

Whereas, it is a wholly un-American idea that government should be the watchdog of the press and a policeman of speech, as opposed to the uniquely American ideal of a free people and a free press being the vigilant watchdogs of government;

Whereas, the so-called "Fairness Doctrine"—either under that name, or using a new name and even more devious methods—represents a frontal assault on the First Amendment, and its re-imposition would constitute nothing more nor less than the crippling of America's robust, unfettered, free press:

RAIN!!!

The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.

So getting laid off or being foreclosed on.

People are people, whether Republican or Democrat.

If companies can't afford to hire new people or keep the ones they have, it has a snowball effect on the economy.

The housing crisis is mostly to blame for the economy right now, and Democrats as well as Republicans are at fault for that!

Greed is greed, and many of the houses in fore closure are that way because those loans were like junk bonds, very risky.

Others were made to speculators, people were buying second and third houses and renting them, you know the time always comes when we have to pay the piper.

And "yes" the banks were encouraged by our government to make sub-prime loans.

The government in this time of financial crisis spending so much on many of the programs that have no return, is like you and me taking out our credit cards to pay our bills with!! We just are adding more debt to our existing debt.

GOD HELP US!!

Republicans Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Olympia Snowe of Maine to vote for massive Democratic Porkulus Boondoggle.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called it an "Orwellian experience" to hear Democrats refer to the deal as a bipartisan solution to the nation's economic problems. "I've been involved in a lot of bipartisan legislation around here," said McCain. "This is not bipartisan."

"Scaring people is not leadership. Writing an editorial that if you don't pass this bad bill we're going to have disaster -- we've had enough presidents trying to scare people to make bad decisions," Graham said.

I believe....

The National Debt is so large the country will have to declare bankruptcy to get out of this mess.

I don't think we will have to wait long, if the senate passes this astronomical "stimulus package" Obama wants. When the people see that it isn't going to do what is promised... I predict the market may keep sliding maybe as low as 5000 by 2010. Not to mention double digit unemployment numbers.

I hope not!

Why is it that when the Dems win the presidency they think the whole country voted for their guy and wants a “Make Over” of how the country is run. The same old ones that have never worked before, so let’s try them again and again.

The stimulus package that is being worked on now will do little or nothing to stimulate the current economy.

PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY
Sun Jan 25 2009 22:13:43 ET

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government." Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury. The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK. STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus? PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government. STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that? PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

RACE CARD PLAYED ALREADY!

2009-01-23T19:54:00.000-08:00

Let's stimulate those who don't pay taxes with the taxes paid by the middle and upper classes. That is distribution of wealth and will only cause resentment. Making the kind of conditions Heir Reich wants will not bring the country closer together it will do just the opposite.

REICH: …”I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers…I have nothing against white male construction workers, I’m just saying there are other people who have needs as well.”
