Easter - To Die For
For anyone to die for me, means so much, I cannot put my heart, into words.
I remember US Army soldiers dying in South Viet Nam, for our allies; then pull out, and finally losing the battle and handing the South back to the North. We underestimated them. I watched it on TV, listened to it on radio, and read about the war in all the newspapers that I delivered (Irwin's "Standard Observer, McKeesport's "Daily News", Pittsburgh's Post Gazette). One day I was drafted, and on my way to Nam. My draft notice was cancelled. I ended up volunteering a few years later.
I remember the fire department putt'n out the fire. My whole block almost burned down in Arnold, Pennsylvania, in 1982. My ex-wife, myself, and two more houses were saved. Next door just started smoldering. Too close. Waaay too close.
I remember the police department I worked in, the sheriff's department, the staties, and all the surround'n departments cover'n my back - will'n to die for me. Some really great cops.
But for someone to purposely allow Himself to be stripped naked, take a blood-bath beating, and then be pedestaled on a tree and fed toxic vinegar - during a three day execution - and be willing to do this just for my sake - is undeniably the greatest act of selflessness.
My benefits - because He died for me - peace, love, forgiveness, mercy, and a whole bunch more.

Tweet To Obama
Saw this tweet and just had to post how many Americans feel - just plain "FED up!">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Tweet read around the World, Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.
You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States . You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia .... You didn't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia .. How dare you, sir! How dare you!
You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey ...... You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What's the matter with you? I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now?
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.
I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American

Why Should I Vote?
"Why should I vote?"
MY VOTE DOES NOT COUNT! Ahhh, yes it does.
In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes became our 19th President - by just one popular vote! One! Imagine that. Coulda been one of our ancestors. How would you like to have been the Supervisor of Elections then. Wow. Whadda tough job.
Swing Vote (Redneck fun movie. Gotta love the kid. Sorry, not a freebee yet.)
http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/movies/Swing-Vote/140936/full-movie#episode=Video-814954333
History is our past eye to the future.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_B._Hayes
In 1854, the electoral voting process began. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29
In 2000, Bush barely won the electoral vote. In 2008, Obama barely won the electoral vote. (Percentages) www.electoral-vote.com/
"God has not propelled me to spend my time in the political liars club or voting process. Besides, it won't affect me. Why should I even bother?"
If this is your chosen belief system, please go to Iraq and talk to the people who voted for the first time a few years ago. Or, move to a government-owned country like Russia or China. Many of you hate our system of government, and think theirs is better. START PACK'N!
Caution: Buy a round-trip ticket back to the land of the free. You will thank me later.
Who really elects the President of the United States of "our" America?

"God does not say anything in the Bible about voting. Besides, He picks whom he wants anyways." You may want to read a few, of the many verses, that God speaks directly to us regarding voting.
www.openbible.info/topics/voting
The following link, America's Christian Heritage (The Biblical Basis for Christians in Politics and Government) by Ellen Craswell can answer many a question in a concise manner.
Please read, and ponder (in the next link) the possible life-enriching impacts, "We the People" can make.
http://whateveristrue.com/heritage/ticipate.htm
Bottom line. We can influence one another to put moralistic imperfect people in OUR public government offices, which is far better than how other countries' citizens that have little, or zero say in their election processes - providing they even have elections.
God already blessed America!
How 'bout America bless God?
Amen. (Or in secular terms - Absolutely.)

Liberalism - A Satan-Approved Ideology
"Liberalism - A Satan-Approved Ideology"
I'm a simple man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFbwRz0LMc4 I try to practice my beliefs in the order they should be. Pro-God, Pro-Family, Pro-Country.
I've learned lifes' priorities from watch'n a Johnny Carson show one day. His guest was Mary Kay Ash, of Mary Kay Cosmetics. Here's a few more of her wonderful words of wisdom from that wonderful woman: www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mary_kay_ash.html
Liberalism is an ideology that basically is: a) Anti-God/Pro-Religion, b) Anti-Family/Pro-Abortion/Pro-Euthanasia/Pro-Homosexual Marriage, and c) Anti-USA/Anti-Israel,Pro-Islam. So where does God stand on these issues?
God is against man-made religion (check the Ten Commandments), which includes, Islam, Communism, Liberalism, and a whole host of others.
God is the creator of life. Liberalism - along with the American Civil Liberties Union and others - supports the ending God's creations.
God started out with a man and a woman, and says homosexuality is an abomination to Him. Man always thinks he knows better than God. I know, I'm a simple man. Pretty strong language I would say. Liberalism is OK-ing man with man, and woman with woman, and chang'n God's definition of marriage. God ain't too happy 'bout dat.
President Obama, and most Obamanites that follow our Commander In Chief, are allowing Iran to propel forward with their annihilation of Israel, and "Death to America" insanity by shak'n their finger at them. I'm sure Iran is scared to death.
(I would love to see Patricia Heaton smack Barack in the head and call him, "Idiot." (Everybody Loves Raymond) I promise it would go youtube viral:}
The Obama Administration regularly invites, Holocaust -denier,Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to OUR USA! Idiots!

My former mother-in-law (a wonderful woman) had Nazi-numbered tattoos on the inside of her forearm. She was from the Ukraine - not even a Jew. I saw a Jewish woman (in Russia), on TV last year, with the exact same tattoo. I fell to the floor in shock.
Liberalism: legalized and extended the abortion timetable, endorses, the oxymoron "homosexual marriage." (Group-marriages are in our future. Oh boy, can't wait. This is my mommy, my other mommy my daddy and my other daddy.) Liberalism also removed prayer from schools, minimized our military chaplain's abilities to speak God's truths, allowed Mexican-flagged tee shirts to be worn in OUR government-run schools, while at the same time disallowed the wear'n of American-flagged tee shirts. (Way to go California!) And endlessly worked at remov'n "In God We Trust" from everything our founding fathers fought for.
How 'bout we make California and New York liberal states, then annex them to Mexico so they can give our guns to the drug lords, smoke their medical marijuana, burn their bras, burn their draft cards, invite Jane Fonda & John Kerry to sing Kumbaya at Woodstock, all while burning OUR American flag and disallow'n the burning of the Quran.
Welcome to the land of the free birds. (My apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr3dWscslo8&feature=related.)
I'm Mighty Man America, and I approve this message.
America Bless God.
Yep.
What In Sexual Addiction Hell?
What in Sexual-Addiction Hell is going on? Plenty.
Whether we are asexual, bisexual, homosexual, or the original, Godly-intention of heterosexual; if we make sex our God, THEN... SEX... IS... OUR... GOD!
I've met with, and listened to, thousands of honest men in my lifetime, that have opened up to me, or opened up to large gatherings of listeners on TV and in churches, read plenty of books on the subject matter, and have been counseled, etcetera. Some had similar outta-control lifestyles like me, while others have had their sexual journeys end in all sorts of ways - even death.
I do not wanna die until I've made positive impacts on peoples' lives. How 'bout you?
So what is Sexual-Addiction Hell anyways? When sex is what we think about all day/night, and/or act upon it, act upon it, act upon it (I think we get the picture.); via masturbation, having sex with an individual/group out of the confines of marriage, or twist God's definition of marriage to fit our sexual lifestyle, we fuel our own desires so much, we really don't care about the other person/persons so much - and Sex - becomes our God, "Our consuming passion."
Love begats sex, not the other way around. Even when I was married, I didn't understand that statement. I hope I do someday.
I had a friend (who often cheated on his wife), that was a secular sex therapist. He/they will tell us it is healthy to do what we want. Ask them what God says???
[If we continue doing our sexual thing our way, then we will end up in Sexual Addiction Hell. ~ My name is Satan, and I approve the preceding sentence.]
I look forward to gett'n married again someday. But this time 'round, I will put God first, then, her second. She, in turn, on her own, must put God first, and then, me second.
This(!) is an agape love triangle. Amen? Amen.

Santa Is Fake
This winter day (early 1960's) was a freezing cold day at Norwin Shopping Center, Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.
Attention sissies: This is far different than the "Florida Freezes" of just 40 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.)
I was intent on setting the record straight for my li'l brother. "Santa is a fake, Steve; he is fake." "Na ah, he's
fa real," he quickly quipped back at me with certainty and a how-dare-you-unsmilely face.
I grabbed the little rascal, boots and all, and drug him around the corner, into the plaza alcove. I pointed to Santa, (on break, I might add), with his beard pulled down, and drinking something hot. And kin ya believe it;
the little weasel still did not believe me. Well, we'll just see about that, little guy. I was bug-eyed determined to prove to junior how absolutely right I was. Fact !
Soon, Christmas Eve was upon us. We were told to go to bed early, so Santa could come and bring us presents. Off us good li'l boys went. Dad always said,"Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." I always looked for those bed bugs. Never found any. But, if I did, I woulda put them in weenie boy's bed. I know, I know, I was a baaaaaaaaaad boy. "Shame, shame, shame,shame, shame shame," as Gomer Pyle would say.
After we waited a little while, I dragged my li'l sleepy-eyed brother part way down the stairs. I just had to show him that Mom and Dad put the presents under the Christmas tree. And, sure enough - I - was - right ! "See. I told ya. Mom and Dad are Santa Claus." He was not a happy camper, as he scallywagged up the stairs, back to bed. Things turned around on me several years later.
As an adult, I was asked to be Santa for my local church. Happily, I donned the costume, put on my sunglasses, carried a long-wooden walking stick, and headed off to church. There in a large room were several homeless men and women, and one fake blind Santa - me. I was squeezing people, bumping into
men and women, rubbing a bald guy's head while making a wish, and really exciting the group when I started swing'n my walking stick, just missing the heads of the kitchen staff as they jumped away from the tip of my stick. The place went nuts.
Next, I was asked to pass out backpacks full of toiletries, foods, and blankets for everyone. Sure. I was happy to. I hugged, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Life was great.
Next in line was a long-haired/long-bearded gentleman. I handed him a backpack, wished him a Merry Christmas, and then proceeded to hug him. He screamed at me, "Ow! Watch it. I just had my arm amputated!"
With open mouth down to the ground, "I'm sorry, sir," barely squeaked outta my mouth. I left shortly thereafter, with my stick.
For those of you saying, "Payback time," I have only one thing to say in return,"Merry Christmas and forgive me if I do not hug ya this year."

Support Small Business
Americans should always support small business. We are a capitalistic republic for which we stand, one nation, under one God - our creator.
Especially support those that give back to our community.
If you are pro-God, pro-family, and pro-United States of America; please consider supporting this small-fry guy who delivers a serum truth medicine, to those who seek the truth, by ordering from the vendors on the left margin you are currently reading. (Many new vendors will be added in December 2011. Yippee!)
@BarackObama : You are welcome to support this site as well. Please redistribute your wealth. I'm wait'n. Crickets - again!?

Remember When
Remember when life was simple? Everyone knew who the bad guys were - even the draft-dodging hippies. Cassius Clay was the only person turned Muslim. What the heck is a Muslim any way? I dunno.
The president of the United States of America is someone whom you wanted to emulate. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Ford, and hoping for Bobbie & Martin Luther King Junior.
Mom would send me over to borrow some sugar from the neighbor's house. Knock knock. They weren't home. Went in and got a cup, filled it up with sugar. Mom gave me an IOU. Went back & put it on their kitchen counter. Next day, had to go back and replace whatever we borrowed - naturally.
Watched all three TV stations in black & white. No unleaded gas. No computer, except at NASA, of course. No sick-sounding hot-wheels cars - jus good ol' American-made muscle cars with sounds of rolling thunder as they cruised by.
No I-Phones, I-Pods, I-Pads. Heck, no cell phones - period.
When play time came around, usually we went outside, in the blazing summers, and icey winters. Indoors everyone played...wait....here it comes...board games with the family. Oooooooo. Oooooooooh. Aaaaaaaaaaaah.
Pick -up trucks were for the working man, not the bling-blingers.
Everyone listened to Country-Westerm and Rock'n Roll. Everyone went to church on Sunday. Everyone signed up for the draft or fled to Canada. Everyone knew who the bad guys were - Commies & Terrorists. Cassius Clay was the only person turned Muslim. What the heck is a Muslim any way?
Car broke down. No problem. Neighbors jus pitched in. "Git R Done" was born before Larry the Cable Guy sprouted it outta his mouth.
When I said I was from the valley, I didn't mean California, the one in Pennsylvania - of course.
Bullies? No problem. You stood up to them. Dad taught me right. Got my butt kicked for several years. Finally, in twelfth grade - I was in charge, not the bullies. Having a large population covering my back helped.
We all dated girls that were younger than us. We all followed girls all over the place. There was no rape. Stalking didn't exist.
When you weren't in school, you worked. I started at 6 years old with my homemade lemonade stand that my Daddy built. If you hadda Wii Wii - you jus went out back in the bushes. Besides, the outhouse mighta bin full. Whaddaya mean what's an outhouse? Look it up on your I-Thingie.

The president of the United States of America is someone whom you wanted to emulate. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Ford, and hoping for Bobbie & Martin Luther King Junior.
Mom would send me over to borrow some sugar from the neighbor's house. Knock knock. They weren't home. Went in and got a cup, filled it up with sugar. Mom gave me an IOU. Went back & put it on their kitchen counter. Next day, had to go back and replace whatever we borrowed - naturally.
Watched all three TV stations in black & white. No unleaded gas. No computer, except at NASA, of course. No sick-sounding hot-wheels cars - jus good ol' American-made muscle cars with sounds of rolling thunder as they cruised by.
No I-Phones, I-Pods, I-Pads. Heck, no cell phones - period.
When play time came around, usually we went outside, in the blazing summers, and icey winters. Indoors everyone played...wait....here it comes...board games with the family. Oooooooo. Oooooooooh. Aaaaaaaaaaaah.

Islam Beheads Infidels
Islamic Mosques are breeding grounds for (FTA) Future Terrorists of America which is C.A.I.R. -endorsed, and Liberals have empathetic empathy towards.
Why embrace Islam? God tells us, in the end, that fools will see evil as good, and good as evil.
Isaiah 5:20 (New International Version)
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
Do you embrace Islam?
Warning: Live beheading of an infidel. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
