America, God is calling

2011-02-25T07:36:00.001-08:00

“These are the times that try mens souls.” When Thomas Paine wrote these very words, they were meant for men that had been in defeat after defeat. They were worn, beaten, wounded, diseased and disheartened. The words, it turns out, are prophetic. From time to time, Americans have been called by Divine Providence to protect and defend the Constitution, Liberty and our Republic. Now is the time that We the People must answer the call to liberty. Only We the People can save, yea even restore our Republic.

The Almighty God has preserved this land for His purpose. He has saved this people for this generation. We are born for a purpose. There is a divine plan and We the People are an intricate part of that plan. For if there be a God, He surely has a plan for us – We the People. Divine Providence, it would seem, has called upon this generation. It is a call to rally around Him and then act. Act in a way that is pleasing to Him.

The greatest deception that ever was perpetrated, is that the devil convinced the world that he does not exist. There is great Evil in the world. This evil is now growing exponentially. Disaster, death, destruction and desolation all conspire to dishearten mankind. When absent a moral stand, when character fails, when men abandon the light within, evil wins. In the battle of good versus evil – an ageless contention – if there is an absence of good, evil will fill the void.

We need people of good moral character. We need people to stand and lead in their own homes, communities, states and then nation. We need every city and town counsel to have a George Washington on them. We need a Franklin, Jefferson, or Adams on every city, county or state elected position, tied closely to the Constitution and the Republic. We need Eagle Scouts, businessmen & women, mothers, father, husbands, wives, grandparents to be the leaders of today. We the People need you.

Now it the time to be with Him. Let Him guide you. Find your calling. Be whom He meant you to be. Be not afraid, for when with God – Divine Providence will protect you, and He will be your shield.

An open letter to society at large

To Whom it may concern:

These are indeed the time that try men's souls (one must include women & children here as well). We are under assault as in no other time in our history. Satan, known once as Lucifer, and his minions are waging battles within our very souls to corrupt mankind, destroy his spirit and relationship with God the Almighty. We brave few, form the time our hearts, minds and eyes were open have endeavored to battle this great evil in our limited and independent way.

About two years ago, Glenn Beck launched the 9-12 project, that We the People might know that we were not alone, that we would and could stand shoulder to shoulder and fight with our individual talents and skills. We would fight for liberty, freedom and the Republic and restore her to her grand stature despite all the corruption of the powerful and plague of politicians. Now, just as back in the time of the Revolution that freed a people from the greatest power on earth, we have not just one, but many crises. George Washington was nearly defeated, at the end of his rope - so to speak. He had suffered defeat after defeat and barely escaped across the Delaware river. There was little to no supplies. Men were wounded, sick and starving. Their enlistments were nearly up. Congress had failed to deliver the necessary supplies, promised monies and abandoned Philadelphia believing that the army would loose once again. At that time George Washington called on Thomas Paine to write something inspiring for his troops. He wrote the Crisis where the immortal phrase "These are the times that try men's souls." originate.

We can not let petty differences in politics, nor of a posting cause disunity for the cause of liberty. We mush stand, and stand with God the Almighty, that we can spread freedom for ourselves and our posterity. We are in the opening salvos of a brutal and continuous war. We are fighting, good against evil. For if we fail in our task, our calling, and our post, evil will surely sweep the planet earth like in no other time, and darkness shall reign for generations to come. The blood that was spilled on our behalf from our forbearers shall be spilled in vain should we allow this fate - and we shall answer to our God for our weakness.

So let us lay aside our minor pettiness and lets us stand united in the war against all evil. We shall change ourselves that we can change the world. May we stand with the Almighty God, and may His divine providence guide our every thought, word and deed to the preserving of this land in liberty.

02-10-2010 A DATE WITH DESTINY

2010-09-16T07:06:00.001-07:00

May 8, 2010 was the first Major Earthquake in Politics, of which has not been seen since Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in monumental numbers. To which do I refer? That would be the failure of Bob Bennett, Senator from Utah to pass the Utah Republican Convention to move on the Primary. Every political commentator at the time dismissed this as a fluke, a tea party takeover of Utah. Make no mistake; this was a 9.4 political earthquake.

What we have been witnessing in established Republican defeat after another are the aftershocks of the people revolting against the political establishment. It is We the People, who are shaking the corrupt foundations of the “party system”. It is We the People who, are making such a quake that the political establishment are still in total shock and cannot function.

This is the time that we stand with “firm reliance on Divine Providence” to guide our actions in the cause of restoring liberty, freedom and our Constitution. This Nov. 2, 2010 we have a clear choice. To quote Ronal Reagan, “…if we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to, this is the last stand on Earth…”

This November 2, 2010 “… you and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope on Earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness…”

Now is the time to pledge to Our God and each other “…Our lives, our fortunes and our Sacred Honor.” That we shall stand as vanguards of liberty for generations hence.

A modern Declaration

2010-04-29T20:49:00.000-07:00

When in the course of Human Events, it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to political parties which were intentionally avoided in structure the Constitution and are the cause of abandoning the Constitution and to resume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle us, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that we should declare the causes which impel us to restore the Constitution.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Private Property, without the micromanagement of a National Government.

As our government has abandoned the principles that have been instituted for over two centuries ago, and usurped powers not granted them, and obscured and marginalized our Rights as given by our Creator that among these rights are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. These Rights once secured by our government now taken without our consent have looming dire consequences. Now that our government has become destructive of these ends, it is the Right and responsibility of the people to alter or abolish it, and to restore Our Government, restoring its foundation on the same principles and organizing its powers in such form as originally structured in the Constitution of this great nation. “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Such has been the patient sufferance of the Citizens of these United States of America over the last 100 years: and such is now the necessity which constrains us to alter our operations form of Government. The History of the House of Representative, Senate, Executive Branch and Judicial Branch is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these many States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

All departments in all three branches of government has been run according the desires of the political parties and their agendas, rather than statesmanship in deliberating the best of the nation as a whole, to promote freedom, liberty, tranquility and prosperity.

Congress has refused to secure our boarders – threatening our sovereignty.

Congress has failed to curb illegal immigration, and expand legal immigration of those peoples of the world wishing to become citizens of the United States of America.

Congress and the Executive Branch have devalued our currency by fleeing from the Gold Standard and embracing the Debt Standard.

Congress has borrowed excessive monies in contrast to the will of the people – leaving a crushing debt that will take generations to repay.

Congress has absolved their Constitutional authority and duty of creating a standard of value for money and coining money to the private business The Federal Reserve Bank and paying high interest rates to borrow that money, refusing to regulate, audit, or review the workings of that bank or controlling in anyway the bank’s activities.

Congress has with the full support of the President spent trillions of dollars – confiscating private entities – to dictate business to the will of the Executive branch.

Congress has with the full support of the President laid a debt on generations to come – without their consent or representation.

Congress has levied one of the world’s heaviest taxes, fines, fees and levies upon the people of the United States of America without their consent.

The Presidents with the approval of the Senate, representing their political party’s agenda, has appointed Federal Judges that use personal political preferences, or foreign law rather than the Constitution of the United States of America as the Supreme Guidance in Justice.

The President of the United States with the support of Congress has not supported our Military when they have sent our military abroad preemptively, without intention of victory and bring our military home with honor.

The Legislative and Executive Branch have laid into law – without due course and proper procedure levied a heavy tax and burden upon the American People without a vote and usurping the Constitution of the United States of America.

Congress and their political parties have abused their investigative power on private citizens.

Congress has ignored the pleas of the people to stop detrimental environmental legislation.

Congress has corrupted the Legislative Branch with briberies, payouts, powers and dominions to pass or levy legislative burdens on a liberated and free people.

Congress has closed all communications with the people whom sent them to Congress to represent them.

The Legislative and Executive Branch have surrendered our Sovereignty to an International organization or organizations usurping the powers of the people and the United States of America and the justice therein.

The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches have halted and or ignored a redress of grievances of the people to the government.

Congress and the President have refused to bring a cohesive and comprehensive energy policy that would make the Unites States of America free from dependence on foreign sources.

Congress has violated equal protection under the law by according extra rights to specific minority groups, levying progressive taxes, increasing regulation upon the people and exempting themselves from said regulations & laws.

The Legislative and Judicial Branches have confiscated personal properties and distributed them to the unproductive in society or to immoral or objectionable causes.

All three Branches of Government have strived to drive out the divine, by persecuting God from all forums, both public and private, while exempting themselves from such bands of Divinity in their own respective public specticals.

Congress and the President have supported tyrants, despots and dictators around the world, thereby halting or retracting freedom and liberty to all.

The Political Parties with their professional politicians have orchestrated moral decline, domestic chaos and divided a people along political, social, moral and religious lines.

Congress has refused to recognize the Bill of Rights as individual rights, and it is not in their jurisdiction to regulate them. The Constitution expressly prohibits Congress from acting, thus making these actions as unconstitutional act upon the good Citizens of the United States.

Congress repeatedly increased their own pay on the backs of the American People without the people’s consent.

Congress has eroded society by weakening criminal justice, encouraging moral decline, confiscating the private property of the individual and redistributing to the unproductive of society in the name of social justice.

The President with the support of Congress has usurped power by sanctioning Czars or dictators to dictate policy without legislative review.

Congress and the President have weakened our self defense by eliminating or reducing innovative and revolutionary technologies that would secure our nation from attacks.

The bureaucracy created by Congress has targeted patriots as enemies of the state for political purposes.

Congress and the President of the United States have ceased to promote the United States of America as the Greatest Nation on this Earth and set forth an example of freedom and liberty for the world to follow – NOT for the union to join in their socialism.

Congress has ignored the individual communications of current critical issues when brought to the legislature for vote – thereby passing legislation without the consent of the governed.

The Political Parties has created a system by which individuals without the two party system may not participate in being elected to office in the State and National levels.

Congress has been deceived into passing legislation to usurp the independent powers given to the people of Puerto Rico, allowing for the “Tennessee Plan” to be implemented once again, against the will of the people.

In every stage of these Oppressions, we have petitioned for a redress in the most civil and humble of terms. Our redresses have been met and answered with repeated insult and injury. An elected official or officials, whose character is thus marked every act which may be defined as a tyrant or tyrants, it unfit to lead and or rule a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our elected representatives in both the House and the Senate. We have warned them from time to time of their attempts by their legislature to extend the unwarranted expansion of the Government over the People. We have reminded them of our commerce, employment, and our independent lives in our station of our lives. We have appealed to their sense common justice of mankind, and to a common cause of liberty and freedom, and we have called on them by our common ties of elected and electorate to disavow these usurpations of power that rightly belongs to the people of the United States of America. They too have been deaf to the voice of the people when the people have called on them for their will to be delivered, in the equal justice guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America. We must therefore repeal our power in which we entrusted upon them, and hold them as Enemies of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice.

We, therefore, as the People of the United States of America, in general consent by the undersigned, appealing to a Devine Supreme Judge in the Heavens above overseeing all the world for guidance in our actions, do in the Name of the Constitution of the United States of America and the people of which it protects and empowers, declare that we categorically Absolve the trust and power in which we trusted the Legislature, and Executive elected officials. And by common consent of We the People recall the elected officials in the House of Representatives, Senate and Executive, as we declare that we are a free and liberated people. We recall the powered entrusted to these people, that a free people may remain free, for generations hence, that according to the Constitution of the United States, we have the right to pursue Commerce, promote the general welfare, and provide a common defense and all other acts in freedom of the individual, without the interference and influence of a central government. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance of the God above, we mutually pledge our Lives, our Fortunes, our Liberty, and our Sacred Honor.

2010-03-01T21:41:00.000-08:00

Ever add up the little life's lessons we learn? Ever evaluate that which you had to over come? Recently, while bogged down in my own misery and indulgence in self pity, (not a pretty picture for a tub o' slob that I be) started evaluating those little twists of life that seem to kick a guy square in the crotch, and just as you recover from that one, you get kicked again, and again, and again. Things that were once so incredibly traumatic, seem in retrospect minor and almost nostalgic for those "simpler times". I would expound on personal experience of the past, but they seem so minor now that they are hardly worth mentioning. So during this economic malaise that we are so fortunate to participate, for those whom carry on know that this is for your own good, and shall make you stronger. This shall give you experience. William Shakespeare said, "Sweet are the uses of adversity." I try to take it to heart.

A Open Letter to Congress

2010-02-20T15:09:00.000-08:00

To every member of Congress, both dead and alive since 1880

How dare you. In my quiet hour of desperation and determination, you continue to thwart the will of the people whom entrusted their Republic upon you. You, whom swore an oath to God that you would protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, continue to desecrate your office and sacred oaths. Is there not one honorable member among you whom shall be the one unpopular with your peers but ever the vanguard of freedom and liberty? Shall no one entrusted by election of their constituent body be the giant among mankind and lead this - the greatest nation on Earth - to a bold return to core principles and values. Will not one stand forth and tell the truth. Is there one that will tell the nation in plain simple language that spending must be cut, taxes must be cut, and honor restored to a corrupted and cancer riddled body?

My entire life, you have stolen my birthright as an American. You have weakened my country’s security in the name of political correctness. The protection of our boarders has been nothing more than a political football. Our rights are trampled and thrust down further nearly on a daily basis with the new and unconstitutional proposals flooding Washington D.C. You have devastated the worth of our Dollar such that in my lifetime Gold has risen from $200 to an astronomical high of $1200 an ounce. You squander the people’s money as if Parker Brothers and not the Federal Reserve is printing it. You thrust your ill fated agenda items upon a people whom clearly do not want it. When we call to complain or voice opinion you cut all sources of communication. We call a lie a lie and we are called extremists.

You shall one day be called to a reckoning of your actions. You will have to answer for your deeds. Be it in this life or the next, you will be called accountable for your actions. This November an election of historic proportions will be taking place. Our President has started the blatant and bold bribes of “Stimulus” money by promising $1.5 billion be given to Las Vegas. Anyone with half a working brain will remember that on no less than two public occasions the President called out Las Vegas, Nevada as a place you may not go. Interesting enough, Nevada at the time is considering changing their State Constitution to allow larger counties to have legalized prostitution. Barry seems to have found a way for the residence of Las Vegas prostitute themselves legally.

We the people are tired of this perpetual bombardment of evil flowing like a raging torrent pounding our very souls to dark and looming existence. Our birthright, as intended by the Founding Fathers, is that every generation to be given the opportunity to thrive on their own. It was our responsibility to have better lives than our ancestry. We were to be innovative, productive and proactive in our lives as to better life for the next generation. You have destroyed the will of the people, confiscated their wealth, desecrated their souls, corrupted their government, cheated their hope, slandered their faith, and corrupted their spirits. You, you alone are focus of bitterness and vile wrath of the people which shall come. And you are the only ones to blame.

Each of you had the choice to the right thing, or the easy thing. Each of you could have made the harder but necessary choice to be the Giant among men. Most of you, rather, chose to confiscate power from the people. You chose to punish the achievers. You chose to thwart the sanctity of marriage. You chose death over life. You chose overwhelming debt rather than fiscal and personal responsibility. You chose the end of the Republic for your own power.

There is nothing more despicable than you right now. In the short span of 9 months, there will be either a reckoning or you will complete your power struggle and the last stand of freedom will have vanished. We the People will have been turned into a relic of the past and indeed the great experiment will have ended.

For the sake of your children and mine, please be the one that stands for freedom and liberty, even at the cost of your career or at worst your life. We honor those men and women that sacrificed all they had even their life for freedom, let this be your finest hour.

From recession to depression

2010-02-06T10:38:00.000-08:00

Ronald Reagan was right, again. A recession is an economic slowdown with layoffs, until it effects you. Then it is a depression. Well, for me it's a depression. No... I am not saying I have been laid off. Though if something doesn't change soon, it's coming. I am saying I have gone from hopeful and energetic to bitter, frustrated, depressed and extremely tired in an 8 month period. It's been extremely difficult to get motivated to do anything. I just don't know what to do...

Potential Conservative Victory 2010

2009-12-29T22:33:00.001-08:00

Did Janet Nepolitano just give a total victory to conservatives in 2010? Consider the following:

Either 1 - Secretary Nepolitano is just a figure head, and the President is micromanaging every little thing from the oval office, or…

2 - Ms. Nepolitano is the single most incompetent administrator of all time.

Either way, don’t expect to see Ms. Nepolitano to be long lived in the Obama Administration. Even as of right now, as reported in the Salt Lake City Examiner, they are reporting the HSA Secretary to resign for personal reasons.

The fact is that the most colossal and complete failure of security checks has been exposed with a would-be terrorist that could have cost the lives of 300 innocent people. Given the two scenarios above (figure head or incompetent) that would mean a safe and secure United States of American is not a priority for the current President. Realizing such things to be said are alien in nature, it is the only conclusion that can be logically reached given the facts.

Knowing that this Administration cares little for the safe and secure America, it couldn’t be very hard to use this particular point in the coming elections. The GOP were wise would use this moment to solidify a great ever present issue that is foremost on the minds of Americans. With the addition of the quarter hearted surge in Afghanistan and the pathetic show of mourning for the deaths of innocence in Texas, a pattern of little regard for the lives and safety of Americans is being displayed in a new and bold fashion. Never in my life time, nor my grandfather’s life time for that matter has there been a commander in chief so blatantly liaise et fair about the security of U.S. citizens.

This shouldn’t really surprise anyone what so ever. The previous President was no better in this issue. If one were to take a serious study of our nation’s borders, one would see a sieve with a gigantic hole in the middle. I would go on about airport security, but we just had perfect pattern of total failure in security, given the perfect of circumstances to prevent that terrorist on that plane.

Blame however cannot be contained to the Executive branch alone. Unfortunately, the Democrats and Republicans in the Senate share responsibility for putting either a figure head or incompetent in charge of homeland security. I believe a third of that body is up for re-election. Perhaps they should suffer the consequences of their serious lack of judgment by being fired from their current positions.

Are we as citizens going accept this level of incompetence? Are we going accept this total disregard for YOUR VERY LIVES? I seem to remember in the Declaration of Independence that, “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Are we willing to call Congress, the Senate and the Executive destructive of these ends? I report, you decide. You must decide what kind of citizen you will be. Are you to be the steward of freedom or the mindless minion of the bidding of the Elected?

Resolutions

2009-12-28T22:41:00.000-08:00

Once again it’s time for the ominous New Year’s resolution. What’s your resolution? Is it the proverbial “to get in better shape” or loose “X” amount of pounds off an arguably obese body? Or perhaps it’s to simply survive yet another bleak economic year? Whatever your resolution is, have you prepared yourself to fulfill your goals?

Make a resolution is the easy part. Taking the small but necessary steps to achieve that goal, well – to be clichéd, it’s easier said than done. A wise man once told me, “Most men dream, a small percentage of those dreamers achieve. Those, whom have achieved, worked hard to achieve.” What are you willing to do to achieve? Are you willing to put down that cake and have a carrot, or (heaven forbid) rice cake (eeewwwww!). Are you willing to take the daily half hour and workout first thing in the morning, or perhaps at the end of a long day? Are you willing to work those extra hours to assure the continued success for your employer’s business? Are you willing to step out on your own to start a business and leave the comfort zone of someone else having the responsibility of earning more income than expenses? Have you though out a daily plan to be executed for purpose of achieving your goal?

If not, like so many of us in years past, we will break that resolution nearly as fast as we came up with it. Most of us don’t plan to fail, we simply fail to plan. And that failure to plan creates a substantially higher probability of failure to achieve our goals. So in the next few days when you have a quiet moment or two, take time to plan those things that can help you in your endeavor to achieve. Help yourself give yourself the very best chance as success possible. For once you achieve, the next time will be much easier because you have done it once before.

GOD BLESS GLENN BECK

2009-09-13T13:54:00.001-07:00

Could it be that we are witnessing history repeat itself? On September 11, 2009 tens of thousands ( and arguably hundreds of thousands) of Americans took Washington D.C. by storm – almost literally. Catching authorities off guard and being referred to in derogatory, demeaning and mocking terms like “truthers”, “tea baggers”, etc… these Americans both Democrat, Republican and Independents, met to voice protest not just against the President, but also Congress and their blind blissful following of the President’s agenda.
One thing is certain, the administration and the main stream media have selected Glenn Back as their “ring leader”. Mr. Beck’s participation could be described as the same involvement that Paul Revere had in the famed battle of Lexington and Concord in April 1974.
What most American’s don’t know and are rarely taught is that in the months preceding that midnight ride of Paul Revere, many events were taking place. First on the British side, Lord General Gage – then Governor of the Colonies, and Commander in Chief of His Majesties Royal Army and Navy, was being pressured if not ordered by parliament and His Majesty to remove all munitions, gun powder and artillery from the colonists, as the militias throughout the colonies all had such weapons. Paul Revere, along with the Sons of Liberty and the various Committee of Safety (which were in nearly every community), has set forth networks of communication. Wherein any troop movements of the British were underway, the colonists could and did respond quickly. By the time April 1774 had arrived, the British had taken the armories of several communities, but had failed in others, once the Colonists realized their arms were being taken.
The night that Paul Revere had taken his ride into the Boston countryside, he was not shouting, “The British are coming! The British are coming!”. Rather he was alerting this network which worked its way back to several counties, communities and villages to bring the militia ready to defend the armories of Lexington and Concord – that there would be time enough to remove the gunpowder, guns and munitions and hide them.
Glenn Beck could literally be our modern Paul Revere. On March 13, 2009 Mr. Beck set forth the 9-12 Project. This project was to connect Americans that they might not feel alone while the total chaos of an out of control government might make them feel so utterly isolated. The 9-12 Project has leaders – average citizens – doing the work of organizing, encouraging and participating in voicing the concerns of the people to a group in leadership positions refusing to listen to their constituencies. All Mr. Beck really do was to set up networks, just as did Paul Revere. Paul Revere was in a unique situation as to mingle with the leadership, aristocracy (as it was) and the common man. He was able to bring others together in settings that would otherwise not be possible socially. Glenn Beck has done more or less the same thing, using the most modern of technology available, as did Paul Revere. The difference is that information won’t take a day or two to reach the countryside, but rather it is worldwide and instantaneous. Love him or hate him, Glenn Beck is helping to shape our current history and the future for generations to come. Someday, quite possibly Glenn Beck will be one of those mythical legends just as our Founding Fathers are today.
God Bless Glenn Beck.

The Knight Hawk

2009-08-24T21:39:00.000-07:00

Why is it that every time I try to start a business, the Government does every thing in its power to thwart me? In the 90's I tried to start three businesses. The first attempt was derailed by Bill Clinton's new tax hikes, making it impossible for me to get ahead enough to save enough money to start. The second time, Clinton again threw a monkey wrench into the works by requiring regulation changes to the SBA standards. Basically because I am a white male, I didn't qualify for any SBA assistance. In fact I was told by the local SBA administrator to resubmit the project under my wife's name, because it would be easier since she was a woman. The third attempt was blocked by the State. Both sides of the isle was to blame for new regulation making the amount of paper work required for such a business cost prohibitive.

Now, I am working on my dream of owning my own business. Mr. Obama is threatening via his flawed policies to tax me into oblivion, confiscate my God given freedom and independence in my health care, destroy my dollar's purchasing power and regulate every aspect of my life as punishment for daring to be an individual. I shouldn't be surprised, I mean I am a white male, therefore I am the most hated reviled and impuned group which is politically correct to persecute for the color of their skin.

Life goes on, I march to my own beat. I patiently await for delivery of the next step toward my particular dream. Though I must admit my patience is wearing thin. Meanwhile, I die a slow painful economic death. My wife was laid off, effectively cutting our house hold income by a third. Beans and Rice will be on the menu for some time to come.

When I read the founding fathers, especially Benjamin Franklin, I am amazed at the total foresight that these incredible men had. They repeatedly warn us of finding people of good and moral character to represent us, and the consequences of a failure to do so. Those consequences we are living now. A generation of mediocrity aristocracy have lead us down the primrose path to this economic flop. Soon, we will have no place to share an opinion in opposition to that of the State, as that will be deemed as a threat to the State and I be labeled an enemy of the State.

If you think that I am loony, and perhaps unbalanced, remember that these steps were taken not only by the Socialist Party of Germany, but by the Communist Party of both the Soviet Union and China. Everyone today can see the blatant censorship that reigns China's press, internet, and broadcasts. In the former Soviet Union, the lunar landing was heavily censored. Reagan's elections and speeches were censored. Even television programing was banned. Today a bible is contraband in Saudi Arabia as are all religious works other than that of Muslim. Even Iran censored the protests as best they could when the "election" took place. The historic prescience for suppressing a free exchange of ideas is staggering, and have always taken place when those in power decide that the governed will not thwart their desires. The current health care debate is a prime example of the beginning of the tyranny of the minority. It's an ugly fact. Are were as a people strong enough to withstand the brutal and personal attacks that we surely shall face.

233 years ago 53 men signed their, "...lives, fortunes and sacred honor..." Shall we as a free and independent people arise to the standard that those men set for us? Should I be beaten, arrested or even slaughtered in the name of freedom and independence, then shall I be worthy to stand with those men that committed high treason to the crown and started a new nation.

at the peril of my liberty,

So, it comes down to this. Do we abandon all that was sacrificed by the men and women that maimed their bodies, bruised their psyche and spilled their blood in the name of the very republic that is being transformed before our very eyes? Or do we as a people stand firm, resolute that the Republic will endure, as it was designed back in the later part of the 18th century? Will our generation become the next greatest generation willing to sacrifice all that our children and posterity hence will be free from the bondage of a crushing debt and sinister over burdensome government? Are we the people with the character to build a nation that welcomes all whom legally enter, and make them her own? or are we willing to abdicate our convictions in the name of political correctness?

Some have suggested that we the people are struggling for an identity. That we are having an identity crisis. (everything is a crisis now days it seems) I disagree. We were a sleeping giant. We were able to perform miracles in the 1940's turning from a slumbering citizenry to a swarm of angry hornets ready to destroy those whom attacked our home, and their allies. Today, we the people have been compared to Nazis for voicing an opinion differing from the State. We Americans have been called un-American for opposing a government take over of a free and liberated people. We have been verbally spit upon, physically assaulted and punished for daring to seek our representatives to redress our grievances against Government take over of health care. Our injuries have been repeated, and will continue until we the people will be brought to a fury that will sustain a restoration or revolution.

Our arrogant and blustering windbags called representatives have a new disdain for we the people. Their over bearing rhetoric suppressed by a mainstream media, but revealed by a new media serve as evidence bile riddled venom cursed on the American public. They mark us as a target. The White House, once a bastion of character and decency is now marred with a stain on a dress and a knife in the back of the hard working moral society that put the current president in office. My words here may only be read by a few now, and with God's help by more in generations hence, but know that We the People will return power to the people as it was designed by the most brilliant people in all history.

History will record that evil was thwarted by the character and morality of a people refusing to be subject to an unfit ruler.

An Open Letter to every Citizen of the United States of America

2009-06-30T05:31:00.001-07:00

My Fellow Americans,
We the People are engaged in a monumental war. This war has been waging since a little before the turn of the 19th century. This is a war of tradition, morality, virtue, deity and character versus progressivism, relativism, vice, socialism, immorality and perversion. While the latter may not be organized as one entity to wage this war, they none the less are united in a common cause: The total destruction of the individual and his/her freedom to pursue their happiness. This war is not by guns, bullets, swords, bombs and troops. This is a war by words, deeds, and personal involvement. By now, the first casualty of this war has been long since passed. That casualty is the character assassination of our Founding Fathers. Such valiant men, whose memory has been desecrated and marginalized for the sole purpose of rendering our Founding Documents from immortal, inspired, powerful and true to impotent, weathered, relative and weak; in other words, to excuse the erosion of our Republic through immorality and relative personal character.
Our Constitution and the affirmed God given Rights there in are under threat, like no other time in our history. In years past, our enemy – those whom would destroy the Constitution – has been of foreign origin that is from without our Country. Today, the assault is from with our boarders, even from those within our elected body. From the days of our founding, those brave men that signed their death warrant, known as The Declaration of Independence, warned of these abominations in these late days. In my lifetime, there has been one President of the United States of America whom could stand proud, and feel as if he were among peers when met with our Founding Fathers in the heavens above. That would be Ronald Reagan. One must ask oneself, could you see President Obama, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Carter, or Ford look the likes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson in the eye and answer that they did uphold and promote the principles of a free republic?
It is not the President of the United States alone, whom must answer to those men in the next life. The legislative branch (Congress) shall also be called to answer for their actions. I dare say that the perverted state of affairs (both personal and of the state) has made Congress as an institution in which there is little or no trust that they – Congress – will do the right thing. This particular part of the war is critical. We are at a moment in time where We the People may in fact can turn the war around and win not only the battle, but win the war. Much like George Washington in the war for our independence, a turning point was reached, when then General Washington took the initiative, and took his enemy by surprise in the winter of 1776 at the battle of Trenton. We now have our opportunity.
On April 15th, 2009 We the People, took to the streets in peaceful protest. We wanted our elected leaders to know of our displeasure of their arrogance and their discontent for the electorate. We let them know in one voice, enough. Alas, our voices were thrown on deaf ears that would not hear. Since that time we have had a President take powers that are not rightfully his and a congress willing to give him those powers, or at least simply not willing to oppose him. We have has legislation that is not only bad for America, but for the world at large. We have had out of control spending, a plummeting dollar, skyrocketing unemployment, stagnant wages, unproductively, unprecedented governmental takeovers of private industries, elimination of personal freedoms and liberties, and a new debt so large, there possibly is no way to ever repay it. In fact, this debt is so large that earliest independent estimates to repay this crushing debt will take up to three generations of Americans having more than half their total income confiscated for this debt.
I understand your plight. With all the information now available, apathy seems the only route to maintaining one’s sanity. Ask yourself this question: are you willing to enslave your posterity to pay a crushing debt, unable to pursue their happiness, eliminate their freedom and liberty that this government, as currently constituted may have their power? On this the 233 anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, are you ready to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, from enemies foreign and domestic? Are you willing to stand, alone if necessary to declare right over that which is wrong? Are you willing to be called a racist, bigot, homophobe, etc… in the preservation of freedom? Are you willing to be arrested, placed in jail – a political prisoner – for the protection of liberty? Are you willing to die, that generations hence will live in liberty and freedom that they may live to pursue their happiness? We once had people in this great land of ours that would. Today we call them patriots.
God Bless us all. God help us all.

A very concerned citizen,

When it rains, it pours...

2009-06-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

So on my Facebook account, I did announce that I have Type II Diabetes. This was quite some shock, as I have been relatively health most (other than my "gross obesity")most of my life. This is has been some adjustment. I am learning all the fun side effects, redo all my eating habits, and adjusting to new medication. The most fun is the race to the bathroom as I pretend I have a faucet attached to my rear end.

But that's not enough, our IT serviceman deleted ALL our files at work. He's recovering the data now, however, I have nothing to do. That happened Wed. nite. So I can't work, my time from the first is gone, I don't get paid for non work, and money is running very short. I am in real trouble here.

All these stresses, are not helping my body, which reacts poorly when I have this kind of real problems. My tendency is to get several boxes of Little Debbie's Brownies, and indulge as many as possible, as quickly as possible. Now with the diabetes that options out. Though irony would be suicide by an over indulgence in Little Debbie Brownies.

Odd things keep happening....

2009-04-29T21:22:00.000-07:00

While I sit and worry of potential disasters that are to hit our country, there are side trips off that path which I have chosen for my life. God has this interesting knack of correcting my course, when I so choose to leave his course. These deviations from his course are not without consequence. In fact most often, in my experience, the consequences of being off of his path are forever life altering, and life long lasting.

I chose some years ago to marry a young woman, whom I love passionately, and whom I thought reciprocated that love back. I was tragically wrong on nearly all counts. This disaster, while minor in the long term, but devastating at the time, has had lasting impact on me. At the time of our divorce, she swore in an affidavit that we had no children, nor were expecting children between us. Five months later, a dear friend called to announce the birth of my daughter. This has haunted me since, though not in the way one might think.

All my life has been dedicated to first my God, then my Wife, and then my Kids. Everything else pales in comparison. Indeed, I have been fired for choosing family over work. I made that choice, and have never regretted it at all. For me, family is the greatest institution endorsed and sanctioned by God. That literally means that the Family is a sacred unit. I as the man, am responsible for that unit. Through this perspective I view all the world. Therefore it has always pained me that I have never seen my daughter, other than a single polorid about three months after her birth. Because of the nature of the breakup between my Z-wife and myself, I was cause to believe that I was not the father and sued for a paternity test. The result was 97.8% positive. It actually broke my heart, and my anger and bitterness to my X-wife and women in general deepened.

Over the years, I have researched my X-wife, daughter, and her daughter, that I was to someday adopt. I found my X-wife, and today I found her oldest daughter online. I have very mixed feelings. Do I start a dialog that hasn't occurred in over 15 years? Do I leave sleeping dogs lie? My nature is to stir up that hornets nest, and watch the ensuing chaos. I suppose that the best thing to do is ponder and pray, and perhaps someday, God willing, I will have a relationship with my daughter that is unclouded by the years of my X's indoctrination of the person she perceived me to be.

2009-04-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

There's only been two whom I loved enough to dedicate all that I am to them. The first one so kindly left me on our first year wedding anniversary, leaning a looming distrust of all women in general, and a hollow bitterness inside. It took years to forgive her, and more years to become fully trustful of women.

The second, is the gal to whom nearly 14 years ago consented to be my bride for all eternity. There isn't much I can say that would be adequate to the task of expressing my love, devotion and gratitude of my best friend, and if the English language indeed have the proper words for the occasion, my skill with words would only mock the tender and deep feelings I have for my wife.

The other women and young ladies with whom I was infatuated have slowly but surely reunited with me through one website or another. I shall not name them. I am certain that each and every one of them had absolutely no idea that I ached inside just to be in the same room, though like so many obese boys with a personality to compensate for my short comings, merely blended into the blurred background. For years I was in that position, dreaming of someday having the courage to have a relationship with any one of those gals, but never summoning the courage to do so. As a result, I indeed had exactly three dates in high school.

Even better, it wasn't until the second half of my Freshman year of college that I even had a girlfriend. I tried to be with one particular gal who live on campus, but was thwarted by several other guys and the infamous "I just want to be friends." If there was ever a cause of impotence in men, it's that line right there. Someone might as well pull our a nude picture of Hellen Thomas. It's an arousal Kryptonite. Well, I married that girl friend, and she became the x-wife. (I didn't know she was crazy, until I met someone normal, like my wife.)

I reminisce of these times, as I have said in a previous post, because of Facebook. For those of you women whom I fantasized of whom my deepest desire was to be with you, I am sorry I did not have the courage to be the man I should have been, nor the physique that would attract you to me. The fact of the matter is I have always been fat, obese, huge and otherwise grotesque. It is something I have finally come to terms. It's a part of me, and the source of my sardonic / sarcastic sense of humor. I have oft though if this brain was in that body of mine then... and of all the things I could have been... but that game is almost useless, unless it motivates you to be a better you tomorrow.

Alas, being the odd man out, was a perpetual position, a situation seemingly sentenced to singleness and solitude. (say that three times fast). Back to the present and or future, I am struggling with hope. My career is halted, and if things don't improve VERY soon, it will retreat. Though I would love to chat over my current personal project, prudence prevents this revelation. When the appropriate time comes, (and I would love that to be very soon) I will make a public announcement. It will indeed hit Utah by storm, and very well could make an impact in so many lives as to remain uncounted. Or, it will be a total, colossal, great and complete failure. (keep thinking those cheerful thoughts). As before, time draws short, and it is time for bed. (as I raise my cup) so here is to a better tomorrow, may the government do absolutely nothing!!!

It's been a while...

2009-04-14T21:26:00.000-07:00

For the relatively few of you that actually take the time to read my little unimportant blog, I have yet something else. In essence, my mind is a scatter. I have focused like a laser on a personal project for the last year and a half. Today was the first step in achieving that particular goal. Because of all the buildup emotion and hard work came to a relative head today, the emotional release and required satisfaction was somewhat lacking. Thus I find myself lacking in that focus. Perhaps I need to step back a little and take a breather. What I really need to do, is make a to do list and then prioritize it. In all actuality, there is so much to do, that is seems overwhelming. However, just like eating the cliched elephant, I just have to take it one bite at a time. It's just a little hard with my A.D.D. personality.

Speaking of A.D.D. - Tomorrow is tax day. It is also the collective Tea Party day. I don't know that I will be attending one. I thought I might, however, it comes at a bad time of day, and I live rather a far distance from it. Also, while others push forward in the effort to make our employees (i.e. politicians) listen to us, this is just the line drawn in the sand. All I personally want, is a true return to the Constitution of the United States of America, not some interpretive narrative limp wristed or bastardization of it. To those thieves on Capitol Hill and at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., would you kindly leave us the hell alone. Stop spending, stop taxing, stop, STOP, STOP!!!! My kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren can never repay the crushing debt that we are accumulating now. I have called my Senators and Representative. I have emailed them. The ONLY response is a letter from my Rep. that basically states, "F-U, you don't know enough to question me". I dare say that my I.Q. is at least twice his, but that's not saying much if my estimated I.Q. of him is about 40.

Finally, Facebook. I don't know if I like it all that much anymore. I recently had someone look me up. This presented a problem. This particular gal broke my heart, but then, she never really knew how I felt about her. I was such a coward then, and never knew what courage it took to pursue the happiness of female companionship (and I am not talking sex). At the end of my senior year of high school, I finally gathered the courage to ask her to Grad Night at Disneyland. She accepted. What I didn't expect, was that halfway though the evening, I was abandoned when she found her boyfriend there. Crushed, I cruised Disneyland the rest of that evening alone or the "odd man out". I was miserable. What made it worse, is that including this trip to Grad Night, I had a total of three dates in High School. First was Home Coming at a new school as a Junior. Second was the one gal I waned to be with most, taking her to Phantom of the Opera, (Senior Year) only to never hear from her again. My dating average was a perfect 0 for 3. Going into college I had absolutely no confidence in having any kind of relationship with the opposite sex whatsoever. What I didn't realize at the time, was that was preparatory for the really big ditch of my x-wife when she left me on our first year wedding anniversary. The shock of abandonment wasn't nearly as devastating as it could have been because of being left alone and very lonely in Disneyland. Ironically, I haven't though about any of this for years, until yesterday, when she got a hold of me on Facebook. I also reflected that I was a rather great nobody in High School. I had, but few friends. This translated to college as well. However the few friends that I have, seem to make it a life time of friendship. It still strikes me as rather odd, that after years of believing that I had almost no impact on anyone's life, that many would let me know that over time, I had in some measure influenced for good or evil others. I think that these two events are the root of my total paranoia of being abandoned by my (current) wife. I know it's totally silly. I mean we have been married nearly 14 years. If she were leave me for any one of my plethora of faults, it would have happened by now.

Well I ranted enough for now, and it's bed time. The real shame of it all is I know I am the ONLY ONE that will read this in a few weeks time and think, "What exactly in thee hell were you thinking?" I am realy good at kicking myself around for a good long time.

And the storm builds....

2009-02-15T18:00:00.001-08:00

Well, once again I write for no one. The last Tower of freedom is crumbling from within. This week past, once again the cowards of smart placed an even larger burden on our children, grand children and great grand children. HR 1 - "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" passed the conference report in both the House and Senate. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office)calculated no growth from this, and even more pain for the American people. For those representatives and Senators that were being inundated from their employers, i.e. those whom they represent, shut off lines of communication because they did not want to hear it from the masses. Effectively, we the people were disenfranchised. Not that we are particularly surprised, however, it's no less infuriating. How dare they. If I refused a direct appeal from my employer, it would be exactly the time it took to collect my personal gear and get out of the building before I was invited never to return. For every Representative and Senator that did just that, they should head home and face those constituents and explain why they refused their calls. I know I would love to talk to my Representative live on television and when their story is told tell them exactly what bullshit it is.

There is a great problem in our country, no one, and I mean no one trusts the government. The government is too big, to cumbersome, to involved in individual lives. Reading the founding documents of this country, it was intended for the individual to work out their individual prosperity, in the manner best suited by that individual. In other words, the government was never meant to provide anything other than defense, justice, laws and community of equality. Today, the government thanks to politicians are promising prosperity to any willing to accept their terms. They propel the problem by creating an atmosphere where conducting commerce is difficult at best, and in the eyes of many politicians - criminal at worst. Anyone not subscribing to the all mighty government for physical and spiritual needs is perceived to be a traitor.

I oft return to the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate but equal station the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, to decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." Boiled down to the layman, we have the right, and duty to rebel when we are oppressed. I know that government computers are reading this now, and I don't care. I not yet advocating revolution, rather I warn that there is one coming soon if our benevolent dictators of 435 Representatives, 100 senators, 7 Supreme justices and one President don't change course, keeping "We the People" from determining their own course. A victory of only 52 some odd percent is not license to ram rod any whim, even if it is the first black President in US History.

A revolution now, would be costly in blood, and spirit. Anyone reading the conditions of the first revolution will start to see spooky yet familiar trends. There is a general low level of discontent. Our representatives remain distant from the masses in a surprising way considering just how quickly information is spread these days. The next couple of key indicators of our oppressive government will be the control of fire arms, religion, money (gold) and health care.

Economically, we are in deeper trouble than we realize. Last week, another key indicator started which proceeds every round of inflation. Gold and Silver are starting to be bought by countries and companies. This means that Gold and Silver are starting to spike. Gold is on the move is the standard term. The question will be how long before hyper inflation starts. If there is a shortage of food in the US combine with hyper inflation, there could be a breakdown of society, as people that have no food start to move on those "fanatics" that have food storage. Those that were like the ants when the grasshopper played will be charged of hoarding, rather than being cautious and prepared. Hopefully, those with food storage, will also have the means to protect themselves and their property, (i.e. food). Of course, this is the "worst case scenario" - but when it take a victory or loss of a team to have mass riots in the streets, I don't think a food shortage wouldn't cause one.

Mexico is on the verge of collapse. Even better, our southern boarder is as wide open as ever. One would have a better chance of stopping the rain with their mind than protect our boarders with the resources, procedures, directives and political tactics that are currently in place. I fear that Texas will not tolerate such conditions much longer. Even better, last calendar year, there were over 100 people caught crossing our southern boarder, of Arab decent. If this doesn't cause pause, let me spell it out for you. Al Queda is till out there, wanting to destroy the US. This is not opinion, it is fact. They are probing our boarders and finding our weaknesses. The scenario could play like this: an event like that of 9-11, where it is found that the Mexican Boarder was the source of infiltration. I don't think there would be any law or penalty for breaking it that would stop Texans from protecting their boarder. As we speak there is an incredible drug war taking place on both sides of the boarder. Kidnappings from San Diego to Phoenix are taking place. They are demanding ransoms cash equivalent to the lost drugs to the DEA for the freedom of human beings. Even as recently as last November, law enforcement in North Mexico suffered a tragic blow as these barbarians beheaded members of law enforcement. We are witnessing evil on an unprecedented scale at our door step - and our benevolent government does exactly nothing.

And finally the best news of all, Iran has entered the space race. They can deliver a communications satellite to space in a intercontinental two stage ballistic missile. In a completely unrelated story, Iran has the technology and intelligence to make a nuclear war head. Add the rhetoric of their looney toons President Mahmood Ahmadinijahd, who regularly calls to hasten the delivery of the promised one. For Christians, this promised one is eerily like the one described as the Anti-Christ. In order for that to happen, they - the leaders of Iran believe that they must destroy the "Little Satan" - Israel and the "Big Satan" - The United States of America. Stir this up in a cauldron (the world), bring to a boil (chaos), add a pinch of hate, and what do you get?

One definition of insanity is to continue an action expecting a different result. I tried over and over to contact my "leaders", representatives, etc... to no avail. I tried it with the first bail out. I have tried it on several occations, with the same result. So why would I continue in an effort I know is fruitless. The answer is I have given up. Eventually, they will come for me, because I think differently, and alone I will stand. Will I have the courage to fight, giving my life, fortune and sacred honor to the holy cause of freedom. Who knows?

Chump Change You Can Believe In....

2009-02-12T05:42:00.001-08:00

I just read an article on the current "stimulus" bill. It reads as follows:
"...The $500-per-worker credit for lower- and middle-income taxpayers that Obama outlined during his presidential campaign was scaled back to $400 during bargaining by the Democratic-controlled Congress and White House. Couples would receive $800 instead of $1,000. Over two years, that move would pump about $25 billion less into the economy than had been previously planned.

Officials estimated it would mean about $13 a week more in people's paychecks when withholding tables are adjusted in late spring. Critics say that's unlikely to do much to boost consumption."

Source: My Way News http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090212/D96A0AGO0.html

$13 per week? Oh Goodie, now mom can have that operation!!! These (insert your favorite series of profanities here) in Washington D.C. have just stole our individual liberty in the name of economic recovery, while ensuring economic disaster. Thank the Almighty above for these politicians for enslaving my children, grand children and great grand children to a crushing debt that will be paid in their lifetimes. That addition of $13 dollars a week equates to nothing more than 1 and a 1/2 dozen donuts (which I don't buy anyway).

I feel better already

One of the nice things about having a blog that no one ever reads, is that no bitches and moans when you don’t write for a while. Having said that… It’s been one of the worst weeks for me in a long time.

First, we let go the final lowest totem on the pole at work. As I am an Architectural Designer, we had a Drafter, whom was very competent. I wouldn’t say he was a friend, but we had an amiable relationship, as supervisor vs. worker relationships go. As of this Monday past, I was going to be completely out of things to do. When I am out of things to do, a forced vacation is inline. This economy has hit my local area particularly hard. A good 50% of this county depended on its living on construction, either directly (contractor, Engineer, Architect, etc…) or indirectly (business supplying appliances, finishes, banks, food establishments next to construction sites, etc…). It’s been slowing here since about mid 2006. By Jan 2007, we laid off four workers. Today was one more, and we have one on the verge of losing his position, with no work for us to keep on staff, and I seem to be next on the chopping block. It’s been a nice ride… really.

Now that the abyss of unemployment is looming near, at least in my life, there a small ray of sunshine, that is still rather far from the silver lining of that cloud. My brothers are nearing their goal of starting a television series. If needs be, I might be involved, I sure hope I am involved.

Now, (to change the subject) I found a picture of Obama that just pissed me off!!! I was reading Drudge, clicked on a link for an article I was interested in, (http://wcbstv.com/politics/executive.pay.limits.2.927082.html) and found a photo of Obama, with the Seal of the President of the United States behind him. Because of how out of focus this was, it was like the Masonic halo around the messiah found in paintings of the Jesus the Christ. I have stopped listening to the news, as I am reasonably sure that I am NEVER being told the 100% truth. In fact, I am sure that I never am told the truth, unless it’s an event eye witnessed by myself.

And finally google tracking… Is it really a good idea to give free access to stokers, child molesters, and kidnappers free reign to find anyone at any time simply by clicking? Having a sister that was once stocked, and the creep still has issues, the last thing she would want is some creep knowing exactly where she is, simply because she has a cell phone. For the time being, a simple solution is get a prepaid cell phone, call forward from your current phone, to that prepaid cell phone, leaving the original phone anywhere else. By that’s only because I watch Burn Notice.

Here’s to watching liberty and freedom stolen from all of us…

2009-01-10T21:34:00.000-08:00

Random thoughts.

I recently read a note on a friend from high school's Facebook that had a list of 25 things about herself. All had a minor explanation with it. As for me, I am sure that my minor accomplishments of this life do not amount to much out side my immediate circle of influence. I am not influential beyond that of my immediate family. That is I influence my wife, (for good and more often bad) I influence my children, and their friends with whom I come in contact. The second ring out would be the family I grew up in. This is rather limited, and quite often I feel the outsider that one must tolerate me, rather than accept me. In case and point, my youngest brother and his spouse for some reason beyond my reasoning continues to belittle those whom they find less than desirable, and even plots to cause rifts between spouses. They fling insults and dirty looks at everyone else. It's to the point where I will not participate with them, ever. Most people don't like doing things with the family, I loath it. (at least with those two.)

The next tier out side the center ring would be work. I have some influence with my boss and supervisor. This influence is somewhat limited, as I have no authority to make sweeping decisions beyond that of my particular division. I am not bothered by this fact. I simply recognize my limited scope of influence. The next ring out, is simply out of my realm of any kind of influence. I mean I have written letters to my two senators, (yes I know whom they are) and my one representative. I have called their offices, all to no avail. I am simply one person, whom has been totally cut off from any resource to our benevolent government. I feel our government has betrayed the American people.

For the conservative, there has been no leader elected in Washington DC since Newt Gingrich. but that's a rant for another day.

Next random thought...
For the last 12-15 months, I have felt a looming cloud. It's been creeping near for sometime, and the storm is about to break out. This storm feel like a storm I have never seen in my lifetime. It is a dark and brooding could, with threatening waves of weather that pierces to the very soul. It grows like a cancer, dark, silent and unexpectedly. This penetrates to parts of me, leaving little happiness, life, ambition and determination. I have struggled to peruse my dream, at least my current dream. It's not a small dream, but an ambitious one, that calls for great effort. It would require faith such I have never exercised before, and a total commitment of will to accomplish that which I desire. Most of the time, I am oft more than tired, exhausted, without the will to continue. I now drag myself to work, when once I relished every moment I was there. What's perhaps is worse, is even though I noticed this change, I am not sure I care. I simply shrug it off with a mental "eh". The cold that has been more biting and bitter than in recent memory, drains me of hope. It sucks the very life from me, and condemns my soul. A bleak and cold world awaits me outside my door.

With this grand assessment of my self indulgence into a pitting state, I asses the world, and think of my children. Thanks to the greed of those in power, pursuing more power, my children, grand children and great grand children are enslaved to a debt that may never be paid. Their freedoms are being stripped in the name of the greater good. Their opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is being stolen from those currently in power. Add to that the current world situation: A war in Israel, a new "Cold War" between Europe and Russia over oil, Al Quaida - whom wishes nothing more than the total destruction of the west and all to practice their version of Islam, political fighting over Global warming, when all data shows a global cooling since 1997, and now possibly the worst economic time since the birth of America, as the seeds sown by F.D.R. and cultivated and weeded by Carter, Bush 41, Clinton and Bush 43 are now being reaped for the benefit of those in Washington D.C. If there were a perfect cliche I would use it here. However, as tired as I constantly feel, there is not one that I can think of. I take this grand assessment, and realize that I am totally powerless to do ANYTHING about it. I am not accustomed to doing nothing. It's very frustrating to do nothing even with the knowledge that I can not do anything about any of it. I have my circle of influence, and it seems more than likely that one more ring will be out of my circle of influence (employment). It's not a pretty thought, but it's been been with me for some time, and continues to grow stronger with each passing minute. I am not at the end of my rope, but I think it's getting close.

The real question is what do I do? The easiest thing, is do what everyone expects me to do. Go with the flow, be normal. I have never been accused of being normal, ever. It's just not me. I don't have the resources to pursue my dream, and I don't have the power to greatly change my circumstance. So what's a guy to do? When you think of something, you will be sure to let me know, won't you?

Thanks,

KH

Merry Christmas - Ho Ho Ho?

2008-12-23T14:06:00.001-08:00

Some will look upon this late fall, as a cold and prolonged early winter. Others will reflect upon the “Holiday Season” or as I prefer it, the “Christmas Season” as a time of cheer, love and joy. This particular season, I have found it hard to be bitter, yet harder still to be filled with the love and joy that the season promotes. It has been a particularly early cold and it has been prolonged. The pale yellow sun fails to warm the face of this corner of the earth. This is not necessarily a peculiar event, it just happens in my general location sometime in late January and early February.

While I have not really enjoyed this Christmas season as I have in years past, all hope, love, joy and cheer is not lost. What’s more, I just learned of the passing of my grandmother. This is no particular surprise, and in her case, it probably a blessing. My grandfather, her husband, had passed just before Thanksgiving, 2007.

Before I go further, I should explain the tradition of Thanksgiving in my father’s family. Ever since I can remember, Thanksgiving has been a gathering of all my cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents starting the Wed. night before Thanksgiving. My dad has 6 brothers and one sister. Each of the brothers and sister has a minimum of 5 children. As of today, Most of the children have 3-5 children. When we gather for Thanksgiving, it’s anywhere between 90-120 people. On the Wed. before thanksgiving, in the last few years, it’s been my responsibility to start the fire in the pit for the meats which we cook underground. It starts about 12 and we make about 18” of coals to fully cook 5-7 20 lbs. turkeys, and 25 lbs. of roast beef. We place the meats in the pit at 7:00 p.m. and retrieve them 1:00 pm the next day. On Thanksgiving, the feast includes turkey, roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy (I make the gravy) yams, salad, Dixie salad, rolls, green bean casserole, parsnips, and cranberry relish. It’s finished with a variety of pies, cakes, sweets.

The celebration does not stop with the feast. We hold a family home evening on Thanksgiving night. We have a load of games at park, use the leftovers for lunch, and return for dinner, and family entertainment. The next morning, families disperse to their homes.

Right before the Thanksgiving of 2007, my grandfather died. For me, it was not a time of lament, nor great sadness, for he was ready for the next phase of life. His years on this good Earth was spent working hard, and having challenges from external sources refine his character. He was a man that provided the needs of his family. He was an inventor, father, husband and had his posterity before him at least once a year at Thanksgiving. He relished those moments, for he knew his life was full rich – rich beyond description. He was not rich in terms of money, but his wealth was from the fulfillment of his family.
About an hour ago, I learned that his wife my grandmother died. It’s Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Two days before Christmas, my grandmother died. As was with my grandfather, I am not upset. She, like he, worked all her life. While her task was greater than any in the commercial or governmental field combined. She has stayed at home to raise 6 boys and 1 daughter. After they were raised, she then worked, keeping her husband from being idol. (I think that most wives are wired to do that) She was missing her husband, and with the various ailments that plagued her for the last 10 or so years, this is a blessing. She also was ready for the next stage of life.

While I don’t feel particularly distraught, or upset, I am sure that my dad is holding it together, right until the funeral. (just as he had with his father dying.) So for my dad, Thanksgiving will be a time for remembrance of his father’s passing, and Christmas will be the reminder of his mother’s passing.

Fortunately, thanks to the knowledge of what is after this life, and how it’s possible, despair is not commonly associated with death. We believe that all will live again. That is everyone that is born on Earth shall be resurrected in their time. For those that find the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, accept his teachings and become counted with his followers, life will be with the Father and the Son in a glory beyond all description. Thus, hope, faith and belief are all steps to this knowledge.

The only thing that really reoccurs to me, over and over, is that there are fewer days ahead than behind. And for the short term, the days ahead are dark, and dreary.

Dispair

2008-12-21T22:13:00.001-08:00

I am quite certain that I am the only reader of this particular blog. Not that I am complaining, nor am I counting. For years I was sure I was a significant nothing, and well for the most part, it seems to come to fruition. There is, of course, the immediate circle of influence in which I could be counted as a significant part. That would be obviously, my family. Beyond that broader circle, but which the influence is logarithmically reduced would be those associates of business, acquaintances, and friends, with whom I associate on a daily basis. The next tier out from the center would be those with whom I occasionally pass by in commerce or when the government requires I call, such as at the grocery store, post office or DMV. After that ring is one finally ring, which encompasses the rest of the known universe, of which I have no influence at all.

One would think that this premise could be rather enlightening. By the description, it could be a realistic assessment of my personal relationships and that I know exactly where I stand in the grand scheme of things. Or rather, it could be a fight to bring meaning, significant, true meaning to my existence. I, for one, don’t rightly know (not that anyone will really care, until or unless someone has a need to investigate my untimely and or unnatural death). Exactly where I stand in the grand scheme of the universe, and what the purpose of which God will make use of me, is wholly unclear. Devine providence, it seems, has placed me in a holding pattern.

I almost feel stagnant. Neither progressing, nor digressing, but existing only to sustain the living around me. It all extends from the knowledge that there is literally nothing that I can do to prevent my freedoms from being stolen, trampled and pillaged from me, my family and my posterity. Generations of men and women took on themselves the right, privilege and duty to secure the rights and freedoms granted from on High. Once we had a generation willing and able to do the difficult things required to save a world at war. They had the courage, and moral authority to act to save Europe, twice. This same group of people have been dubbed “The Greatest Generation”, and rightly so.

Their children are our seasoned citizens of today. Yet, while their fathers and mothers did everything to guarantee their liberty and freedoms, even to the spilling of their very blood, they stand in greed demanding from others to provide for them. It’s not entirely their own fault. The government, from the time of Roosevelt, granted sustenance, without the requirement earning that sustenance. It became an entitlement. It was their right to be given that which was taken from someone else. For those whom it was taken, had plenty, should give of themselves for others, even if the government should compel them to do so.

These entitlements have grown, and grown, to the time where we sit today. A bloated corps of a government, taking on the responsibilities of capitalism: an oxymoron as ever been seen in this day. The free enterprise system can only be free if government involvement is at a bare minimum. Markets ebb and flow as do the tides. Sometimes the tide is exceedingly high, and sometimes the tide is exceedingly low. No one however can build anything that can control those tides, be it high or low.

The founding fathers of this great and glorious land knew exactly what they were doing, when the restricted the government to a specific and extremely limited powers. In the name of this cause or that cause, our freedoms have been eroded, confined, and even stripped away. Some calling these restrictions of man a good thing, “for the greater good”, while those like me long for a return to the founding principles of virtue, honesty, goodness, and Godliness.

More insidious, is the blatant and bold attacks on those of religion. A concerted effort and great strides have been made to remove God from every place, and Christ from Christmas. Laws reject the word Christmas from the public view. The Ten Commandments, the foundation of nearly all our laws, is stripped from the schools, court rooms, and all manner of public places. Is it no wonder that hope is driven from the thoughts of man?

Taken as a whole, indeed I feel insignificant to do anything against the bombardment of my core beliefs, some which many would outlaw, given the first opportunity. I have no voice on the air, in the print media save this blog only. My attempts to communicate with those whom represent me in Washington D.C. ignore the vast majority (as I count myself as among them).

A deep darkness is brewing on the horizon. A terrible wrath is marching its way to all of us. While some in Washington seem intent on distracting us from that coming storm, others are flashing the warning signs. Something wicked this way comes. I feel it. Others know it. And a looming sense of doom creeps into my heart. I have not the means to support my family in that economic disaster marching its way to my battle front. I have not the talent, not the financial freedom, so longed by every American. I don’t’ have my own house. Have two cars, both in need of repair, but not the means or knowledge to repair them. I don’t have the strength to fight this battle, nor the wisdom to find a victory with in it. I sit, alone, on the precipice of despair. There is no hope from those in elected leadership. I have been abandoned for some time politically. It seems defeat is inevitable. Yet, for some strange unknown reason, I have yet to yield, I have yet to surrender, but I don’t know why.

Wanted: A Christmas Miracle for a friend...

2008-12-07T21:01:00.000-08:00

I have an acquaintance with whom a Christmas Miracle would be most appreciated and would change the course of his families life. A little back story is required here. First there is his wife. She suffers from muscular dystrophy, rendering her forced to live in a wheel chair. Their lives together has seen its highs and lows. Recently, during the incredible insane real estate he tried his best to obtain the American Dream of home ownership. Unfortunately he was in one of the many loans that should of never been lent. This was a year and a half before the collapse of the market in August of 2008. He was forced into bankruptcy, and has barely earned a living since. When the cost of fuel was at its zenith, he contemplated leaving his current state to move in with his parents to start afresh.
Most times in the holiday season, we think of familiar pleasant good times with friends, family and acquaintances. For my friend, this Thanksgiving past is probably his most trying time ever. His wife suffered from a medical emergency. While at the E.R., she was diagnosed with Leukemia. My friend loves his wife dearly. If it were me, with my relationship with my wife, I would be exactly the consistency of Jello. He has two daughters, 3 and 1. As soon as she was diagnosed with the cancer, her parents got the children, while she was taken to the Huntsman Cancer Center.
I don't know the prognosis of my friend's wife, but I hope all is well. There is hope, but I don't know how much hope is left. If there was a need for a Christmas Miracle, this situation and time is it.
Personally, I have struggled with faith in mankind. I have struggled with hope, and don't know if I believe in Christmas Miracles. I want to believe, and I don't want one for myself or my family. I only hope that the God in Heaven will bless her for the sake of her children. No Child should grow up with out a mother to nurture and love them. If there is a Christmas Miracle to be had, this is the time and the place.

What were you thankful for?

2008-11-30T22:04:00.000-08:00

So it’s after Thanksgiving. We Americans did what Americans do. We ate, and ate, and ate some more. Enjoying such things as ham, turkey, roast beast, mashed potatoes with gravy, and finished with confectioners like pie and cake. We then sat in a lethargic heap on the couch, digesting while being entertained with a football game, unless you were at your in-laws house, which was quite conversation which you did not participate. The conversation centered on the latest family gossip, and ended with heated debate about the next four months to four years.

The next day, those not suffering from a binge eating hangover battled life and savings at the local retailer promising incredible sales on the latest this and that for the first four to five hours after opening. The day was sensationalized with the tragic death of some hapless holiday shopper whom has been lulled into a state of spending friezes. This poor person spends aggressively because they have been duped into spending when they should be saving. By saving, I actually mean not spending money, not getting that extra 10% off of whatever gadget or gizmo or thneed (yes I stole that from my favorite author Dr. Susse).

Now comes the next day. Chaos still stands at the edge of a cliff. We are on a stage coach, riding along that cliff on a rough and bumpy trail with blind curve along the entire way as so far as we can see. Currently, our horses are dragging along, without a team master. There is no leader among them, and without the leadership of the team master, they sway to and throw, speed up and speed down, narrowly missing the edge of the cliff from time to time. Occasionally, the security man, with the shotgun tries to get hold of the reigns, without success, trying to will the team this way and that, to spur them on faster… to no avail.

Unfortunately for us, (those inside the stage coach) are urging on a promising new team master. He has thus refused to do anything to stabilize the coach. He sits next to the reigns, telling everyone that he has a plan, picking members to participate in that plan, but has said little to the people in the coach that means anything substantial. Furthermore, the moves he has made, picking the people that lead to this current state of affairs, has not inspired the leaderless coach team, nor those along for the ride.

The next day, it used to mean a time of starting over, a fresh start, renewed. Today, the next day looms over us like a dark cloud of a winter storm, threatening a deep and penetrating cold. The next day, once the epitome of American exceptionalism, an eternal hope that anyone from any background, from any circumstance could and would make their individual dreams come true, according to their intellect, talent, and hard work, now a threat of despair, despotism, tyranny, and socialism / Marxism / communism. In short the total loss of individual freedom.

What can one do to prevent the death of liberty? The only thing that one can do, keep those phone lines hot to the touch. Be in touch with your representatives. Call your senators, and house representative. I know they won’t like it one bit. Remind them that “We the People” are the boss. It is an irritating fact that the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States of America get in the way of total rule of the governed. “We the People” is not just an ideal. “We the People” actually means that the governed determine our own fate.

When the Declaration of Independence was so elegantly written, long standing abuses of government over the governed had been gone unchanged. We stand and the precipice of history. Before us is not only the loss of individual freedom, but those whom are religious, with a resolute belief in the Almighty God, are threatened with persecution. Those that persecute the Godly people refine those people. Either they will be forged as strong steel, able to withstand the bombardment of the persecutors, or they will be brittle, weak and break. As we approach those days, I implore you to study the Declaration of Independence, as you would study for a final exam for a math class. Also study with the same zeal and detail the Constitution of the United States of America. Use the documents to compare any and all ideas, policies, and laws that are handed to us as “solutions” to our problems.

Eventually, I fear that our government will require us to act in ways that contradict those ideas and practices of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. If that day comes, will you be ready and able to defend the Constitution, a sacred document from great and God fearing me: men that resolved to the loss of their own lives if necessary, to bring freedom and liberty to a new nation.

This past thanksgiving, for what did you give thank? Did you ponder the day that we now know, and how it came to be? Now is the time that we dedicate ourselves to the cause of freedom. Now is the day that we declare liberty. Our own homes should be a source of the education in liberty and freedom: a place where our children are taught the cause and cost of freedom. Our homes should be a place where men like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Adams, Hancock, and Charles Carroll of Carrollton are common, and we should know whom these me were and what they did.

Are you going to be one of the Army of liberty? If that day should come, I hope that I am.

Thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools...

2008-11-27T21:56:00.000-08:00

Did anyone really take account for that which they are or were truly thankful? As we stand on the precipice of a new era (and no I am not talking about the next President of the United States, per se) of chaos, did you talk time to think of those things which are most precious? The next few years, if not decades, are going to be extremely difficult.

We, the American People, have a unique opportunity before us. We have the ability to shine like a city on a hill. Though dark clouds of doubt and fear threaten to overwhelm each of us, one an individual, can still make a difference.

This total chaos in the financial market and credit market has been terrifying to the standard American. If one lists all the problems that this country faces and how those problems creep into the daily lives of the American individual, it can be and is overwhelming. Add to this problem that there is a true vacuum of leadership, and everything that has been tried, is currently failing in spectacular fashion. Even better, when we oppose any particular “solution” with a clear and loud voice, “We the People” are wholly ignored, upbraided, and scolded for our, “lack of understanding and knowledge”, on the subject.

The commodity of trust is nonexistent, other than we trust politicians to protect themselves at the all cost of the governed. These same elected governors of the people continue to strip individual freedom from the individual in the name of the common good. (Though how the common good is served with freedom taken from the individual is beyond my reasoning to comprehend.) Perhaps once on becomes a politician, they cease to be a homo sapien. I submit that once one becomes a politician, a new genus is created called taxus spendus.

These creatures, some from the geriatric era of civilization, have a truly mercenary instinct. They confiscate from those that produce. If one takes from another without permission, it is called theft. When a government does it, it’s called taxes. To add insult to injury, one is no longer a patriot if one opposes oppressive taxes. These cold hearted, selfish, arrogant, taxus spendus beings in Washington D.C. and state houses across this grand nation are suffocating the general public.

Taxus spendus is a parasite. It leaches on to the general public and does everything it can to control that which it depends on for its existence. Taxus spendus siphons lifeblood from its host. Most hosts are unaware of the lethal danger that is taxus spendus. Indeed, taxus spendus has the skills of the chameleon, disguising itself very effectively as a homo sapien, often mimicking emotion on occasion, and pseudo-intellectual thought. Once taxus spendus has a firm grip on the mind and heart of a homo sapien, that poor homo sapien is then taken over by the taxus spendus, thus the taxus spendus has reproduced. Taxus spendus can also reproduce once taxus spendus finds the opposite gender of taxus spendus.

Taxus spendus seems to thrive along the West and East coast of the United States of America. They are most heavily concentrated in high population centers – cities with over one million in population. While there are strength in numbers, this phenomena can be used against them.

While taxus spendus seems to be taking over all the homo sapiens in the United States of America, there is hope. There is a counter to taxus spendus. Taxus spendus has a weakness. That weakness is logic. Once logic is applied to the actions, proposals, and positions of taxus spendus, there is often a violent reaction. With venom and bitterness, taxus spendus uses all reserve emotion to protect itself. However, with persistent persuasion of truth and logic, even this last defensive measure can be defeated.

Now that you are fully informed on this most dangerous of creatures, you will have adequate defenses against them, with the opportunity to defeat taxus spendus. While total inhalation of taxus spendus is unlikely, a dramatic drop in their numbers is possible, and even likely. Our best chance is to eliminate all the taxus spendus within our own communities first. We first start locally, with your own city. Then move covertly to the county. Once your local government is cleansed of this parasite of taxus spendus, move on to the State level. Eventually, this parasite can be kept in check.

Make no mistake; this is the most difficult plague to reach the American People. It will take a very long time to recover from the damage inflicted upon the American People by the toxic taxus spendus. It will be a long and slow recovery. If we fail to control taxus spendus, taxus spendus will eventually take over the world, and homo sapiens will cease to exist.

This is a call to arms. Start in your own neighborhoods, cities and states. Do it for your children, grand children and great grand children. There is hope, and a future, but you must make that future.

Good luck, and God Bless.

Glad to know there is tollerance

2008-11-12T06:33:00.000-08:00

I was reading the news online, like always when I ran across this little story. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20081112/NEWS01/811120369. This story's headline reads "Gay rights protester disrupt Sunday service." As I read this story of what took place, I thought of those poor people that wished for a little peace of mind from a loving Almight God, and these petty protesters infringed on the worshipers First Amendment Right to worship. While I am enraged at the actions of these "Gay Activists", more disturbing to me is the idea that those from without an organization has the hubris to believe that they have any influence on church doctrine.

The same can be true of those protesting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple in Santa Monica. While they are protesting a group of people that was less than 2.3% of those that voted Yes on Prop. 8, it could be argued that the Church perhaps is the most recognizable organization that opposes gay marriage. It's hard to protest millions of individuals, so why not protest a very visual organization.

Basically, my First Amendment Right to "peacefully assemble" is infringed upon when groups act as did those in the article. Personally, I am the type that refuses to be a victim. I would be tempted to protect my rights, with force and violence. To those that think they should disrupt my Sunday service I have three words for you... "Bring it on."

Remembering the blunder years....

2008-10-07T15:20:00.000-07:00

Since I was in the third grade, I knew I was on the "outside" looking in. I had "fiends" or rather fellow outcasts, the rejected of the clicks. It was always like that. When I got to Los Ceritos intermediate school, (yeah the one that looks like a prison) I found things hadn't changed at all. If anything they got worse. I had my two best friends, Mike Stanley and Marc Bergman. However, when we commenced High School, they went to Thousand Oaks, and I headed to Westlake.

My freshman year at Westlake, I conveniently became a faceless nobody. I did not stand out in a crowd, nor did I have any friends. If there was a poster child for loner, I was it. At this time, I never felt worse. No one to talk to, be with, chat, confide in, it was truly a pathetic state. Near the end of the year (sophomore), I was convinced by a kid that band was the place to be. So I joined band. Having missed the marching season, I worked with the concert band. While I was welcomed, I never felt included, perhaps due to the lack of any kind of self worth, or that established clicks of the band were well established. We had a rather grand time though the rest of the year. Our highlight was competition at San Fransisco. We played, were judged, and toured the sites. I looked forward to the next year.

My parents had a rather quick surprise in store for me. In stead of returning to Westlake for my junior year, the uprooted me to Southern Utah, from the comfortable Southern California. This move, in later years have dramatically influenced my life. More on that later. For my junior year at High School, even though I was not in the established clicks of that school, I was socially engaged. I was top dog, the talk of the town, the one that everyone had to be around. I knew it was because I moved in from California. What I didn't expect was that they wanted my "California Connection" to get "real drugs." This was laughable, especially since I was a "goodie two shoes". I had never taken drugs, alcohol, or tobacco in my life, and yet, I was expected, by virtue of geography, to be connected.

While this change was good in the long run, my brother and I rebelled as best we could. I went from a city population of 120,000 to a county of 20,000 and our city was just over 3,000. Needless today, culture shock was an understatement. While in this school I played in Jazz and Concert Band, and wondered why there was no Marching Band. I was placed in the "B" concert band. This band was perpetually below my talent level, and I hated ever microsecond of it. I only stayed with it because I would not be allowed in Jazz band with out participating in one of the two concert bands. I begged, I swore, but there was just convincing that band director of moving me to the "A" Band. So, I put little to no effort into it. I was constantly reminded of how little I was trying by the band director.

At this time, another extra curricular activity caught my attention - technical theater. It seemed I had a real knack for this theater work. I designed, constructed and lit sets. It was fun. It took my mind of off being suppressed in band. While my social skills and standing in prominence in my peer group were rising, I had another 180 turn coming.

Just as I was set to return as a Senior at Dixie High School, we moved to Thousand Oaks, to house sit for my grand parents. So back to Westlake for my senior year. Because I was a "move in" I wasn't there the year before to run for any of the Band Offices. I back to being welcomed, but not included. This time however, I was obnoxious. After having been on the top of the world - such that it was - I was not willingly going to be relegated to second or fourth class status.

Just to interject here, I am certain that no one else in that band would remember it that way, but these were my inner thoughts and feelings at the time.

I spent that senior year involving myself in every aspect of Marching Band, Jazz Band, and Concert Band that I had the time and energy for. At the time it seemed like a lot, now, not so much. I only give this account, simply because I recently became aware of Facebook, and love it. However, there were photo's of times past, at Westlake, and I remembered not being included in groups that are gathered in those photos. There are stories told, stories shared with each photo.

Until I became a member of Facebook, I had for all purposes, disappeared from the Alumni of Westlake High School. Basically I didn't care, and quite frankly had forgotten or suppressed most of those feelings. With the perspective of time, especially for those in those years now, cherish the great and good moments of your young life. While the trying moments can be painful, they give lessons one can't learn any other way. And in time, you will forget or suppress those moments too. I hate to use the cliche, but someday you will understand.

The Knight Hawk

P.S. for those of you whom know my identity, I mean no offense. I just had to unburden myself, and this seemed the best forum for it.

Hope

2008-10-04T22:04:00.000-07:00

With all the incredible actions in all the world, there is still hope. I realize that here in this forum, I have never talked about religion, but its importance seem more needed now than ever. America experienced something incredible following the attaches of September 11, 2001. An increase of worship in the United States followed those attacks. More people turned to God. It was incredible to witness. What made it more priceless, was the media beside itself. After years of separating God from his people, one event caused people, more than ever to return to his side.

Times are not so different. We have a crisis of another order. This crisis is building on the foundation of fear and turmoil. Russia is making a play for the Soviet Union of old. Iran is creating the ability to commit ultimate evil. Our own Congress, Senate and previous administrations have actively engaged in the incredible melt down of the economy. Yet, with all the total chaos, with the larges grab of power from the people to the Federal Government, there is till hope.

I found some thing interesting. I found myself on the edge of the abyss of despair. When Congress voted for $700 Billion to be spent, and paid for by our posterity, I felt a crushing blow. It was a very tough day. It's been two days since I have seen or heard a news report. A phenomena that is rather rare for me, and I am a news junkie. Also, I went to worship this weekend. The result of the combination of the two, is a renewed hope. I am reminded of the movies of "The Lord of the Rings". A couple of the themes were, the defeat of evil at all cost, and there is always hope, no matter the odds.

Hope is an elusive element of humanity. It seems that in this world today, hopelessness is preached by all "media". For those whom believe in God, and practice a subscription of righteousness, a perpetual bombardment of relentless attacks on the idea of God and those whom worship Him. Even more insidious, is the celebration of immorality, perversion, sexuality, and hedonism. Media today, with rare but welcome exception is based on the decay of our American society. As a father of several children, I witness the parade of depravity that envelopes my children, even in the most subtle of ways. Also, as their father, I must restrict access to such influential material. While some call it censorship, other call is the responsible raising of children. (I prefer the latter)

In recent years, attacks on organizations that uphold traditions of virtue, morality and personal freedoms have resulted in a decay on society. Such organizations as the Boy Scouts of America are created to help boys become men. The BSA is also under attack because of its affirmation in virtue and morality. Religions are also under attack, as these institutions defend the family as the last best bastion of raising children to adulthood, with the teaching of said religion. Attacks on marriage as defined throughout history as one man and one woman is though archaic and abstract, though centuries of humanity has proven this timeless institution for generations.

Why do I bring this all up, within the idea of hope? Because hope is eternal. Hope comes from the heart. It can not be controlled by anyone other than yourself. Hope is our legacy for all mankind as Americans. The people of the world do not flood to America because there is no hope. Hope drives millions to aspire to become Americans. It seems that some within America has forgotten hope, or ignored hope, or lost hope. Yet for others, hope is all that remains. For me, hope has been reintroduced to myself. I has forgotten hope, as economic good times rolled by. Now, I struggle. I struggle to hope. Hope, however, has not forgotten me. I hope for the future with a renewed vigor. I was going to avoid voting this November, as it seemed hopeless. Instead, I will vote, even while things seem futile.

One other thing I have observed this week. It would seem that the complete and total declaration of the Democrat (Communist) party's victory, prior to the November election was designed to demoralize those whom believe in someone other than Barrack Obama. I view such action as a desperate act to bring despair to the electorate. For me, it almost worked. God has an interesting way of changing the perception of reality. I forget at times that there is a "big picture" that I can't see, because of my personal perspective. That's where hope steps in.

So here's to hope...

Rant...

2008-10-02T20:46:00.001-07:00

Is anyone really watching Survivor? I was sick of it the first season with Gay Dick Hatch and his amazing IRS debacle. But then, I have been oft accused of not only being out of the box, but somewhere in my own universe. Not a bad thing really... but I digress. There was this last summer replacement season a cute little show on ABC called Wipeout. While I have my personal connection to Wipeout,(my dad design all the challenges and ran them for the show) I found it highly entertaining. It was great to see genuine competition. It was like golf for dummies. Need to best someone else's score, and beat mentally beat yourself. Ok, so it's nothing like golf. Does it matter? Not really. What matters is that there is no back stabbing, no conspiracy, dirty tricks, etc., etc., etc...

Other TV problems, well, the few things I watch regularly, Ghost Hunter (I really love this show), How it's Made, Modern Marvels and my guilty pleasure of Two and a Half Men. It's down to this because TVLand removed MASH from its night time line up. It was a perfect way to unwind. It was like curling up with a blanket, cup of tea and good novel that you have read a hundred times, leaving a warm fuzzy with familiarity. Ce la vie, there will be no other like MASH.

Radio - I live in a small town. I think this market would be somewhere in the lower end of the top three billion. The production level of local advertising is enough to wish to suck on a 9mm. It's unlistenable. So what do I do? I listen online. Until recently I took to listening to KFI from LA. Something is wrong with the server now, and I can't get a feed. So its to KLIF from Dallas, WABC New York, WJFK Washington DC, and KABC LA. At least of these major market radio stations, I can listen to the commercials and their production quality, without having the sudden urge to vomit. So in the interest of those whom call me from Arbitron, I DO NOT LISTEN TO LOCAL RADIO - EVER!!!! I listen to CD's in the car, and online at the house and office. In fact, where I live, local radio is damn near impossible considering the local terrain.

Finally, I am sick and tired of politics. I once lived breathed ate and drank politics. I am so tired of the Presidential race. If never see an Obamma or McCain sign again, such joy in my heart would cause all 365 lbs of me to float on air for a month. So for those that must know as of right now whom I will be voting for... EVERYONE THAT IS NOT IN WASHINGTON DC... So that means Mr. Bob Barr - Libertarian has my presidential vote, and Mickey Mouse has the my vote for congress, and the State Legislature. At least a fictional character can't vote in a $700 billion pork laden slavery bond in my name, or raise my taxes claiming I need to be more patriotic. I would call politicians a piece of shit, but at least shit can be used to grow useful things rather than debt, taxes and budgets.

Lament - current events...

2008-10-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

A few jots and titles. First, Sarah Vs. Joe. What's to say. If Senator Biden appears condescending at all, he looses. If Sarah looks coherent at all, she wins.

Next, the bailout. Let's see, wood studies, wooden arrows, revitalize America Samoa economy, ear mark, ear mark, ear mark... $700 billion for this? HELL NO!!! Our spineless Senators just took over the economy. We might as well be in the Soviet Union of the 70's. Why don't you declare marshal law, and federalize everything. My to Senators, Hatch and Bennett, are colossal wastes of perfectly good hydro-carbon atoms. Colostomy bags have more uses than these two people that represent themselves rather than the State of Utah. Even worse both our presidential candidates voted for this absolute abomination. Our current lame duck President is pushing for the larges grab of the economy ever. If one would read the Constitution of the United States of America, it reads to "promote the general welfare" not provide it. Apparently those sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, just ran over that same Constitution. Will this be the death of the United States of America? At least the death of individual freedom.

For my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, I regret that I can not do more for you to prevent this loss of freedom. Be it known, I did not willingly give away that freedom, nor did I willingly burden you with this destruction of American freedom. If there is not a revolution in my lifetime, may God give you the strength to overcome our coming oppressive government.

To save America...

2008-09-24T20:18:00.000-07:00

It would seem that our do nothing congress is living up to its name. At least there is an idea on the table to save us from a total and instant collapse. But no. The "We hate Bush" Democrat congress has to put it paws in our pockets to pay off incredibly bad decisions. Meanwhile, there are now criminal investigations, while congress refuses to investigate.

Not that anyone listens to me, but I have a solution, that won't cost the American Tax Payer for generations to come. All we need to do is suspend ALL taxes for the next 24 months. Every quarter business pay their estimated quarterly taxes. Also individual withholding be suspended. Continue with stopping all Federal Spending with the exception of Social Security and government payroll. These steps would pour $400 Billion every quarter into the economy, all without causing the tax payer to spend one extra cent. So simple it hurts.

Yet I can't get one lawmaker to listen to me. But why would they, I am a mere surf, only to come at their beckoning on election day. I think that Thomas Jefferson was right, A little revolution is good now and then.

Chivalry is not dead

2008-09-10T21:40:00.001-07:00

Chivalry is not dead. I know kind of an odd expression to start a blog. I have been watching the McCain / Palin vs. Obama / Biden thing, and well it seems that America has become enamored of Governor Sara Palin. Or at the least, they will not stand to have a wholesome, upright mother of 5, wife, hockey mom, moose hunting woman belittled, upbraided, besmirched, trashed and torn limb from limb with her entrails splayed out for the media vultures to arrive a pick apart. Fortunately, the people of the United States of America love their women, yes even strong women.

This reaction was not so prevalent for the beating that Mrs. Clinton got. There were cries of injustice and sexism that failed to achieve a victory for Mrs. Clinton. I dare say (with tongue firmly planted in cheek) that Mrs. Clinton has a bigger set than does Senator Obama and Biden combine. While this vulgar observation prods, I march on. What I mean, is that Mrs. Clinton was the better candidate for President of the United States of America with her experience alone as compared to the lack of experience of Barrack Obama. Well the Democrats have made their bed, and now must lie in it (to freely use the cliché).

So we have entered as a wild card Governor Sarah Palin, someone so normal that most Americans with whom outside the large inter cities completely identify. (say that five times fast.) Her experience as an executive of a state is no comparison to the community organizer. I mean really, making budgets, cutting taxes, fighting corruption all are part of her resume. We can’t even get the documentation of the associations of Mr. Obama. I would rather vote the known than the unknown.

Back to the point, the Wall Street Journal reported that 30 lawyers, investigators etc… were sent to Alaska to dig up dirt, and find the smallest skeletons in her closet. So far, they have found nothing. However, the move by her opponents has been viewed as unfair. The personal attacks on her character, and daughter has left a bitter taste of true disgust in the mouths of Americans, and it’s showing in the polls.

Instead of pulling back the punches, the Democrats are redoubling efforts to personally destroy Sarah Palin. It won’t work. Americans are fair minded. They love “truth, justice and the American way”. They love their women, even women leaders, and will not put up with personal attacks on this one. American’s are standing with their voices and shouting down the venom of the wild eyed left wing extreme that are attacking over and over Mrs. Palin. We are witnessing the chivalrous American population stand and defend the woman that reenergized the GOP. America, I salute you. You know a good woman when you see her, and you stand up for her. Way to go.

Tough Choice

2008-09-06T16:16:00.000-07:00

Okay,
The two of you that read this post are probably waiting for my response to the GOP convention and the McCain / Palin Ticket. Well, the fact of the matter is I still don't know for whom I am going to vote. Be it well known that Obama / Biden is not a choice at all. Not unless I want 60% of all I earn to head directly to the federal government whom will redistribute those funds to groups and organizations which I have personal problems and grievances. or the 45% death tax which will be laden upon my widow and children upon my death. So the couple of million in total assets will become less than $900,000. Not to mention the forced labor of a new "volunteer corps" that will be place for my children. (I thought that slavery and indenture servitude was unconstitutional.) But I digress.

For me, it's either McCain / Palin (GOP or Republican) or Barr / Root (Libertarian). I would love to see Bob Barr as President of the United States, only because I am so tired of the same faces in Washington that have kept the same problems in play since Ronald Reagan. In fact I recently read the acceptance speech of Ronald Wilson Reagan. If one replaced or omitted the words Iron Curtain, it would be the identical problems we have today. A bloated and interfering government, a tax burden smothering the economy, too much regulation, enemies abroad that seek our (America's) destruction all still are problems today.

The 12 years of two different Bush's and 8 years of Clinton have exacerbated the problems, not solved them. We have 20 years of light and heavy socialism compared to 8 years of Ronald Reagan. Those 8 years of conservatism where we bounce back from a misery index lead by the anemic leadership of Jimmy Carter. We had double digit inflation, we had record job loss. We had a contrived oil shortage. We had Jimmy Carter telling us to wear sweaters instead of turning up the heater. I wasn’t old enough to vote, but I knew enough to realize what a living breathing joke, socialist and man totally void of a back bone Jimmy Carter was and still is. The stark contrast of Ronald Reagan’s conservatism and the economic explosion and job creation, and tax reduction compared to George H. Bush’s tax increase and budget increase, and Bill Clinton’s tax increase and budget increase, and George W. Bush’s budget increase is breath taking.

I can’t say for whom I will vote. Basically I have not been educated enough on specific programs or policies that will lower taxes, cut budgets, free the people from the bonds of the government to have an informed choice. I have not heard what anyone will do about Iran, or Russia or Afghanistan. I know that in foreign policy, there is one more experienced than anyone else. However his record as a conservative is lacking. John McCain flirts with socialism, and that’s enough to make me think twice about his conservative credentials. His magnificent choice of Sarah Palin, however, is enough to flirt with overlooking his conservative short comings.

If there was one telling thing about how truly conservative Sarah Palin is the total assault on her good name and character that is currently the action of most of the media. Almost criminal, surely in bad taste, and absolutely evil is the current wave that has tried to crush Sarah Palin and her family. This alone is enough to secure her in history as a true conservative. Even better, she has a proven record of cutting taxes, budgets, standing as a standard of conservatism in a “good ol’ boy” network. This refreshing change is exactly what Washington D.C. needs. Unfortunately, it will be four years before she has a real opportunity.

It would seem that both the Democrat and Republican tickets are upside down. In both cases, it would be a stronger ticket if the Vice President nominee were the Presidential nominee. Oh well, we can’t have it all. To summarize, I can say I will absolutely not vote Obama / Biden. I can’t say that I will rule out the GOP ticket either however. I simply don’t have enough information. If the election were right now, today, it would be for me Barr / Root. At least I know that the government would be defunded, and those dollars returned to me and you respectively.

America, change your oil...

2008-08-22T11:01:00.000-07:00

I had an epiphany this morning. I was trying to figure a way to explain American Politics and the U.S. Federal Government to the lay person. While pondering these things, I believe I stumbled on to an apt example.

Let’s say that The United States of America is an automobile (a car for those of you with a government education). If America is that car, then the American people are the engine in that car. That engine at time roars with raw power and at other times is at idol. The engine oil in that car would then be the Federal Government, as originally incepted by our Founding Fathers. Over time, the oil with in an engine becomes broken down and filled with contaminates. When the oil becomes dirty and broken down, it’s time to replace the oil and oil filter. Well, our oil is House and Senate, and the Federal Bureaucracy is the contaminants. Enter Rueters / Zogby.

It would seem that according to the latest Rueters / Zogby poll, there might be a mood to “throw the bums out” attitude by the American People. The poll sites a 7% approval of the American people of Congress. This is nothing particularly new. What is new? It would seem that the American people are now in the mood to change their own congressman / congresswoman.

Usually, people are upset with congress; support their own representative in Congress. It would seem this time; there is a desire for “change”. But what caused this change of heart by the American People?

I have a theory. I think that while the American People are working to get kids back to school, pay their bills, pay for an incredible rise in fuel prices, Congress voted themselves into a five (5) week vacation prior to voting on allowing American Companies to dill for domestic (American) sources of crude oil. Personally, I was gratified that the handful of Republicans that stayed issuing speeches on the floor of the House despite the Peloci Politburo cutting the audio, cameras and power.

So, the do nothing Democrats voted a vacation while Americans were paying more than ever for fuel. Even better we were advised to take public transportation and over inflate our tires to participate in hypermiling. I would suggest it’s time to change our oil. It is time to “vote the bums out”. There are Americans right now, ready to change their representatives.

The current conventional wisdom is that the Democrats will sweep the election with the White House, the House and Senate. Zogby, however, hints that there is not an overwhelming support of the Democrats. In fact, there could be a change of power within the Senate, and possibly within the house. The polling also shows an alarming trend for Barack Obama. The more that America learns his core beliefs (what few there are) or the lack of core beliefs, the more this man looks like the latest version of a typical politician. The one thing I know is that America is tired of Politicians. America wants a Statesman.

In short there could be a real change come November, it just won’t be the change that Barack Obama was hoping for.

An interesting thought...

2008-08-03T20:51:00.000-07:00

I distinctly remember nearly 7 years ago when we were brutally attacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001. It was pure evil on display. The entire political establishment was rallied for the American public. The Senate gathered on the capitol steps, and gave a grand a capella chorus of God Blessed America. We had at the moment Statesmen & women, we had respect of the Oval Office and the Commander in Chief. We had a government perform, as best it could, at all levels of this emergency, reminiscent of the days that followed Dec. 7, 1942.

Contrast that to the House this Friday past. The Peloci politiburo, in order to silence the republicans on the subject of the current American Energy crisis, turned off the cameras to CSPAN, the microphones, and the lights in the chamber. Basically, while average American's are scrimping and saving for food and fuel, hoping for better times when they can take a vacation (I am one of them) the Peloci politiburo also known as the Democrat run House of Representatives voted a five week paid vacation. This vacation is paid in full by the American tax payer. This is a grotesque display arrogance, despotism and tyranny on a grand colossal scale. The disgusting display should be repaid in full come the first Tuesday in November. Unfortunately, reality is surreal. We have politicians, not statesmen. We have a love of power over a love of country. The word same is non existant in the American politician. If there was ever a time when we need a real man, an elder statesman. We need help, from an Almighty and loving God. We need to ask for this help.

Barack Obama (shaking his head)

2008-07-31T04:41:00.000-07:00

If there is one thing in I learned in my college requited psychiatry class, is that one can tell the intentions of a being by observing one's behavior. To use the cliche, actions speak louder than words would be appropriate here. Indeed, the actions of Senator Obama is screaming volumes over his slick and packaged words. Let's review.
1) While on his summer camp tour of the world, he canceled visiting our wounded boys, reportedly to play basketball instead. Maintaining an exercise regiment is important, but the prospective Commander in Chief neglects the troops for self indulgence? Unless of course, there is a camera crew and reporters at hand for the free publicity.
2) Again while on his summer camp trip around the world, he took every opportunity to throw The United States of America under the bus. Each speech blames the good citizens of the United States, or the current policies that have keep America safe since 9-11.
3) He could not think for himself when giving a press conference without wandering into stutters and stammers. A coherent thought could escape his lips during these escapades.
4) He refuses to break from the Tele-prompter for a live debate with Senator McCain or any conservative pundit on television. His refusal to debate makes me believe that there is an incredible shallowness. He seems to have all the depth of a puddle, reflecting what ever is placed beside him.
5) His proposals for the economy, energy, security, and fiscal responsibility all have a common theme. All Government, all the time. It is truly frightening. The very idea that Government would take over my health care appalls and terrifies me. If Government can't get Medicare right, what makes politician so certain that it will be good stewards of all heath care. Our current energy crisis has been brewing for decades, and yet any attempt to recover our own resources for our own purpose, has been blocked at every turn by the democrats. Even now Nanci Peloci is blocking the America Energy Act, a bill that would start the process of independence of energy. On the security front, Senator Obama's knowledge and wisdom is lacking. Telling our enemy's when we will withdraw is the equivalent of sentencing Iraq to death, with a specific time of execution. And finally fiscal responsibility. One can only shudder when every proposal is taken en mass and evaluated. The amount of money required for each and every proposal by Barack Obama would devastate this great nation. but then, I think that's the point.

While I have waxed long, to sum up, if we elect Senator Obama, as a nation, we collectively would deserve what we get. Though, to be quite honest, we can't afford what Barack Obama wishes. More taxes, more restrictions, more regulations, in short, every burden placed on the productive of society. It's enough to start a revolution.

Tired of Obama

2008-07-26T10:50:00.001-07:00

I am tired of the total orgasm that is the new following Barack Obama. If there was any proof that the man had absolutely NO experience in foreign affairs it was this trip. It was disturbing to witness his inept attempt at answering the hard questions and world affairs that effect all of us here on the home front. His blatant attempt to attack our President, and act as if he were lord and king of the United States of America was offensive. His lack of presence at his own news conferences showed a lack of strength required to put in their place thugs and dictators, like those in Iran and Venezuela.
He continues to perpetrate his distain of all those that live between the shore lines, (fly over country). His true colors were shown brightly when his minister preaches hate instead of love. His sermons are political rather than spiritual. When Barack Obama spent 20 years in that church with that minister, Senator, actions speak volumes over your rhetoric.
The most disturbing part of all this affair, his proposals. He want to inflict pain on a mass scale. He wants taxes for everyone to increase, including those living on social security. He refuses to have us drill for our own oil. What better economic security could we have if none of our oil was from foreign sources. We could literally set our own price.
Senator Obama has yet to introduce a new idea. He is recycling all the old ones. Raise taxes, more regulation, more spending, bring the military down to nothing, America is evil and to blame for all the world's problems. I am sick and tired of the bombardment that is this line of thinking. I have long ago shut off the news outlets on Television, finding real reporting of facts without opinion thrown in online from domestic and foreign sources.
So, come this November, I will vote if only to prevent this abomination of a polititian to become the President of the United States. A sad state of affairs. I can't vote for someone, except maybe Bob Barr, I have to vote against someone. It's disturbing.
So while I rant, I also have a plan in action as to not be effected by this slowdown in economics. Perhaps someday soon, I will have a major announcement as to this particular event.

Stay tuned.

The Loss of Tony Snow

2008-07-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

Alas, Tony Snow did sub come to his incredible war against the cancer that ravaged his body. Tony Snow, while a political commentator, reporter, White House Spokesman for the George W. Bush administration, father, husband, radio talk show host, and so many other titles that I can't place here, has been remembered by Fox and Fox News with an admiration, and love that has not been seen since the closing of the life of Ronald Reagan.
While I loved Tony Snow on Fox News Sunday (watched religiously while Tony was hosting), and I loved him as he guest hosted on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Program, and later on his own radio show, I found myself wondering how those whom know and work with me, will remember me when I pass. I did this reflection with the death of Ronald Reagan as well. Will those that know me, remember me as a loving father, husband, with fondness, or will I be remembered short as tyrant and arrogant beyond reason. I can never tell.
It's a testament of character of the love and admiration that was share all Saturday and Sunday. While I reflect on my own life and how I effect others, I will remember the best of Tony Snow. I can not say that I never knew him, but by all accounts, it sounds like I would loved to know him beyond that of host and audience.
God safe home Tony Snow.

The 5 Juntas in Black Robes

2008-06-25T21:51:00.000-07:00

With the recent rulings, from the 5 juntas in black robes, I have no faith that my freedoms will be preserved. Thus, I believe that there will be a pending violent Revolution if there is a ruling to abandon the second amendment. Since there is absolutely no hope of conservatism in form of an elected official, I really don't think I can in good faith vote for either John McCain nor Barak Obama. Thus I will be voting, for my local, insignificant representative, and Bob Barr for President. Simply put, this state is so safe, that I could stay home and it wouldn't matter. Basically, a protest vote will make no difference at all. Also, I am truly fatigued over presidential politics. I am sick of the rat race. I am tired of the rhetoric, form both sides. I am basically sick of being told I don't matter from the Republican Party, and having the Democrat party dictate my politics. It's not apathy. It's becoming something significantly more. I have a basic belief that anyone seeking power or dominion of another human, or rather a nation, that person is Evil. I believe, by their very action to be Evil, one to a lesser degree than the other. More than anything, I fear for the future that is being presented for my children. As far as I can see, they will be enslaved to a bloated leech sucking the very freedom and prosperity our fore fathers bled and died to preserve for us. Ronald Reagan said it best when he said, "Government it the problem".

I am no great orator, nor politician I just know right from wrong, good from evil, and that there is only black and white with a distinct line, with NO grey area. Lines are only blurred when ones view is distorted with emotions and feelings over analysis and thought. It grieves me to leave a world of slavery and despair to my posterity. While optimism is not a natural state of human emotion, it is takes increasing energy to stay optimistic with such increasing overwhelming confiscation of freedom, liberty, faith and justice. Behold, the United States of America is in a crisis. Not a crisis of energy, economics, war, the illusion of global warming, starvation, or nature. The United States of America is in crisis of character, morality, freedom, liberty, and faith. Most importantly, because of the nine in black robes, (not particularly as currently constituted) we have a Constitutional Crisis. We are under an assault of which there is no counter attack. There is no battle plan. There is no mean nor definition of victory. We are the many, afraid of the few.

As this perpetual bombardment of evil invades our very lives, I look to Washington, not for salvation, but as an enemy, encroaching, slithering, and assembling for the impending attack. This attack, however, will be unlike any in history. This attack will enslave not me, but my children, grandchildren, and even perhaps great grandchildren. This attack will be designed, as something as benign as "the good of the people". Well, "the good of the people" was the ruling theory of Karl Marx, Lennon, Stalin and currently Putin. "The good of the people" propelled Adolf Hitler to power. Each of the previous examples, were also known as "change". This attack will be a direct assault on freedom. The freedom of commerce, the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, the right to assemble. In short, there might as well not be a Constitution of the United States of America and it's freedoms guaranteed to the people. Again Ronald Reagan said, "The federal government did not create the States, the States created the Federal Government and it's about time they remembered that fact.

As I continue my education in American History, I am increasingly in humble gratitude to the incredible character, bravery, intelligence, and faith the founding fathers had. We are indeed a poor example of the kind of courage of conviction that was the foundation of our country. Literally this nation was a rabble of characters, challenging the world superpower of the day. We had no navy to speak of, we had very few resources. We had untrained and weather beaten troops. We had no finances for such an endeavor. We did, however, had the right side of freedom, justice, liberty, and faith. We had unparalleled courage, boldness, cunning, and wisdom. We had God on our side. These were not merely characters of history. These were men of character, imagination, inspiration, and dedication. Indeed when they signed the Declaration of Independence, it was signed with a pledge of "their lives, fortunes and sacred honor."

So where are the men of such character today? In elected office, they are few and far between. When principle guides their actions, they are mocked, as old fashioned or archaic, racist and barbaric. Most men of such character do not seek the power over people. They only seek to buy a home, raise their family, buy a car, pay the bills, worship the All Mighty God. They are real men, not people with Y chromosomes that act as required by feminists. As for the politicians, their actions speak volumes. They are those that seek power over your lives. They will stop at nothing until their control is complete, and total. They will accept nothing less than absolute power, with no consequences of their own actions. And at this very moment, there is very little nor nothing at all we can do about it.

Such as Life

2008-06-14T21:22:00.000-07:00

I get that no one really cares about anything really. I mean, we are all headed for a brilliant and hot summer full of barely being able to meet out financial obligations. Thus relegating each of us to a less than desirable status of on the edge of financial ruin. Even better, we get reports that if one does not include "food and fuel" that inflation only rose 1%. WHAT THE HELL DO THEY THINK PEOPLE BUY? It's not that complicated. Let's see, we buy shelter (rent), we buy water, electricity, phone (land line or cell), internet, food, fuel (presumably to get to work, and the store to buy food), medical bills, and "entertainment". out of the list above, by far Fuel and Food take up most of my available funds, and I am not the only one
My sister-in-law is part of the vast majority that is having problems with paying her mortgage. My own industry has slowed to a perpetual crawl, and hours are being cut. With all the problems I am having, mostly not of my own making, like the astronomical rise in the cost of fuel, I watch what congress solution was. They wanted to add a nice fat tax on the fuel we have now. For all US Congressmen and Senators I have one question for you. How the HELL will taxing existing fuel bring us one extra drop of fuel for us? How will a TAX lower prices? There is not words in the English language adequate enough to express exactly how ignorant, repulsive, and arrogant that is for We the People.
Even better, the two people that running for President of the United States have exactly no plan to relieve the incredible pressures on the average American Financial status. The next four years are going to be extremely painful. And I think that I will really screwed. My wife works full time as a teacher, but if I can't work full time, we are sunk. I can't be the only one in this boat, or overboard that boat.
So what the hell do I do? As far as I can tell, I can't do a damned thing about it. And that is the most frustrating part of all.

AlGore and his pathetic movie...

2008-05-12T17:56:00.000-07:00

It's been sometime since I have been this livid. There is no word adequate enough to express just how absolutely enraged I am. My daughter was forced to watch and comment on AlGore's Inconvenient Truth. Our school district must approve every video shown in school and any rating with PG or higher, meaning PG, PG-13 or R must have parental approval to show it to the students. AlGore's Inconvenient Truth is rated PG, and my wife and I were not notified, nor did we give permission for this particular fesis infested media to be indoctrinated to my daughter. I fortunately love my daughter enough to teach her to think for herself, to research, learn and analyze, scrutinize all science and politics for herself. In short, to be an individual rather than a sheople. So, on the marrow I shall confront the administrators of my daughters school, take all the materials I have gathered, and take them to the local media. Perhaps it will prevent another debacle like this again.

Imus...

2007-04-13T11:48:00.000-07:00

If there is one thing I could say about Don Imus and his comments, is really, who the hell cares? There are much more significant problems than a shock jock whose silly little banter over a women’s basketball team. I don’t mean to say that he wasn’t insulting, crude or perhaps even racist, but there is still the right given to all, the freedom of speech. This includes saying something really stupid. I don’t think that Imus is really racist, or at least I would hope not. All the same, if he is indeed a racist, it’s his right to think what he thinks. It may not be right, be there is no law against thought. Congress is expressly forbidden to hinder the speech of everyone, so I say, let the village idiot speak, and prove his worth.

Back to my first question, I really don’t care what a guy on air says. If I don’t like it, I just change the station, or turn off the radio. It’s that simple. I have, as most of you do, the ability to think for myself. I know what I like, and if I like something on the radio, I listen, if not, well there is always my Ipod.

Race for President...

2007-04-08T10:47:00.000-07:00

Are you as tire of politics as I? First, let’s examine the Democrats and their race for the nominee. We have currently, Mrs. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, and others that are not so news worthy.

Let’s start with Mrs. Bill Clinton. The question begs, do you really want a President that sounds like every man’s first ex-wife? Every tone exiting her lips are dripping with bitterness and distain. Literally, a rake screeching across any chalkboard would be please melody of soothing hypnotic hymns compared to he sirens shrill and bitter tone.

Then there is her politics. Anyone the Administration of 1992 - 2000? I certainly do There was an attempt of a communist take over of ALL OF HEATHCARE. Could you imagine people fleeing to Canada for nearly all procedures because it would take less time and paperwork? How about the level of corruption from top to bottom of that White House? The Travel Office debacle, Monica-gate, strange suicides / murders, “misplaced” billing records, Whitewater-gate, and the list goes on and on. Mrs. Bill Clinton had an active roll in governance while her husband was President. She had a direct roll in choosing Jocelyn Elders, the laughing stock of healthcare, and the incredibly anemic Janet Reno. Does anyone actually believe that her current conservative, well more conservative stance happened with in only three short years? Those kinds of core values only change with a dramatic event in ones life, that causes humble self-reflection. You’ll pardon me if I am highly skeptical of Mrs. Bill Clinton’s humble reformation.

Now to Barack Obama. While I admire his chutzpah, of racing for president with little political experience, no managerial experience, I have to say, the man has no core. There is no one thing that one can point to and say, “that issue is owned by Mr. Obama.”

I can’t find one issue that he has been consistently on one side or the other since becoming a Senator. Basically, there is not enough information to adequately make a truly informed vote for the Senator from Illinois.

John Edwards, the prettiest girl running for president ever. If he didn’t spend so much time on his hair, he might have a coherent thought and well reviewed platform to race on. As it is, I conjecture that most of his campaign funds are for Aqua Net. Spending more time in front of a mirror, rather on stage or on the campaign trail does not endear one to anyone other than high school cheerleaders. I can’t tell if he’s running for “Best in Show”, or President of the United States of America.

For these three, the first to (figuratively speaking) slap Grandma Peloci upside the head, and chastise her for her abuse of her roll as speaker, will undoubtedly be the one to more easily win the election. As it is, it’s fun watching them cannibalize each other.

For me, it is only April 2007, a good year and 2 months before my particular primary election, and I am tired of the daily bombardment of Presidential Politics. There isn’t one that I would vote for.

Let Freedom Ring...

2005-09-14T15:24:00.000-07:00

Now, God has been ruled unconstitutional in the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Michael Newdow, has won the Lawsuit against The Congress of the United States of America. Of course this is only in the 9^th circus court of appeals, the most over turned court in the nation.

So what does this mean? Simply this. Michael Newdow is now the most hated man in America. His inability to see beyond himself is almost incomprehensible., however when taken in light of the utter and total failed attempts to destroy Judge Robers, using his adopted children of as leverage, makes the ruling rather understandable.

What Michael Newdow does not seem to understand is this is, “One Nation Under God.” He does not know the sacrifices that all men and women that have come before us. He does not comprehend the sacrifices that are now taken that he may be free to sue the people of the United States to abridge their free speech in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He takes for granted some of the Bill of Rights while stomping on other parts. He upbraids any who exhibits a grain of faith in the Almighty. He belittles their minds as week and malleable.

Mr. Newdow, I believe in God. As such, as I criticize you for your total lack of understanding and direct attack on America and her heritage, notice the very vocabulary and the meaning of which I have chosen to write. These are the words of an educated man, with life experience. Your little mind hard at work to make your unwillingness to experience anything out of your comfort zone only makes me believe that you are the one with the closed and little mind.

On to the Judge, the dishonorable Lawrence K. Karlton. He is a Carter Appointee. This is no surprise considering his ruling and his reasoning. His perverted twisted view of law and the Constitution of the United States of America only confirms the misgiving feelings of the people of the United States of America toward the Judiciary. I would love for Congress, (who has oversight obligation over the Judiciary, see The Constitution of the United States Article I, Section 8 Clause 9.) hold this radical judge accountable for his many actions. Perhaps it’s time to erect a Standard of Conduct for federal justices, that they be held accountable for their actions. That they may answer to Congress, and either satisfy Congress, or that Congress take such action as to sanction or impeach the offending Judge.

I know, it sound like a radical idea. I think however that if these Lawyers in Black robes were in the real world working for private interest, their incompetence would long ago cause them to either change their ways, or to wither on the vine. As it is now, any look into the control of the Judiciary is considered a taboo and perhaps even traitorous. These Judges seem to think that they are above the uncleansed masses, and should therefore not be judged them selves.

A good dose of reality would of course be to drastic a revelation, and light shed on their activities and rulings would be to wither their own agenda as if water were denied a plant in summer. I can safely conclude that evil men and women are in place as judges at all levels of jurisprudence. They side with their own belief systems, mainly being liberal. These judges should be removed as quickly as possible, thereby returning freedom to the masses.

I know the people of America will do well on their own, not being interfered with by some judge who has never seen the land in which he presides over. “Teach them correct principles, and they shall govern themselves.” – Joseph Smith.

Let us claim our heritage back. Let us give congress the backbone to remove this cancer on the land. Let’s unite in freedom’s cause.

Cindy Sheehan

2005-08-18T19:03:00.000-07:00

I can sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan over the loss of her son. Still, while she continues to act and speak in a rather lunatic manor, I have to point a few things out. First, her son volunteered to join the Armed Forces. It has been since the ‘70’s since we have had the draft. Since he volunteered, it cannot be argued that he did not know what he was heading into. He decided as an Adult to go and serve his nation as a member of the Armed Forces. Secondly, she has already met with the President of the United States. He spent his precious time honoring her son, and she turns around and just craps all over it. All this shows is that she is a selfish, ungrateful woman. Third, she demands that we pull out of Iraq now. This is the epitome of ignorance. If we were to indeed abandon Iraq and the commitment we made to her citizens now, it would only further endanger the lives of every American in the world, including here in the continental States. Finally, I can only conclude that her grief and anger has driven all rationality from her. Her family has disavowed her. Her husband has filed for divorce. The little woman in Crawford is nothing more than an whiner.

The Sad New York Times

2005-08-07T15:36:00.000-07:00

It is now absolutely clear that the main stream media, specifically, the New York Times has no morals what so ever. The character of a man is determined by his actions. His actions are the manifestation of the desires if his heart. If we were to apply this truth of humanity to the New York Times, we could determine that there is nothing that is held sacred.

What am I babbling on about? Simple. The Times is investigating the Sealed documentation of his adopted children. I have adopted my daughter; I know something of the subject. The sealing of documentation surrounding any adoption is routine, and in most states mandatory.

This is for one reason only, the protection of the children. Simply put, the political preferences and ideology of the New York Times is more important than the protection of children. Thereby, we can conclude that the New York Times is Anti-Child.

There can be no other conclusion that can be reached. Their blatant and obtuse intrusion into the innocent lives of children is a perverted abuse of the first amendment. There should be members of the editorial board and the Editor in Chief himself that should answer to authorities. The “investigative journalists” should be immediately fired for suggesting any such story. These people should look the children of Roberts in the eye and look Roberts himself and his wife in the eye and beg forgiveness for putting their children in such a position.

To the New York Times, the sacrifice of innocent children is cause and justification for the total destruction a decent and good man. I come to the conclusion that he is a decent and good man for nothing more than he did adopt his children. There is a rather intrusive and probing investigation on the fitness of parents when trying to adopt. Therefore, if the state can approve of him as a fit father for children in dire circumstance, then his character can be assessed as good and moral.

The New York Times seems to think that the crimes of the parents should follow with the children. In this case the crime is conservatism and the punishment is sacrifice of innocent children. The Times and its associates have no conscience. It has no morality, character or objectivity. If there were a way to shame the Times in to acting in a manor conducive to the great journal of record it once was, the time has long passed, generations ago.

It is rather sad to see an institution of once great magnitude perverted to an ideology of corrupt and immoral practice. When these me and women meet God to answer for their life and their acts, may He show more mercy to them then they have to the honorable Roberts family.

Terrorist Bastards...

2005-07-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

My dear UK friends,
Now you know the evil and danger that we Americans have lived with since September 11, 2001. My heart pours over for your wounded dying and dead. I pray that you rally with Tony Blair in the fight against evil, as it now is constituted. May you take your anger and fear and focus it on terror, even that which exists in Iraq. It's time for the world to stand firm that we will not yeld to such acts. We will stand together, now as we did against Hitler. We stand with the United Kingdom, we only ask that you stand with us.
While I am sure that no one will read this little vent, I feel somewhat better for knowing that there is an ally in the fight for good. May God bless the UK, may he comfort you in your time of need.

The commencement speech never heard

2005-06-09T12:41:00.000-07:00

Recently, I was invited to write a commencement speach for your average high school or junior college graduation cerimony. This excersise was to pick a local person who is currently involved in the business, government, or accademic world. I came up with the following:

Greetings. If there was one thing that I could leave with you, it would be this. The truth is, you will seek a job somewhere. You will be expected to perform in order to earn a check with your name on it. I am one of those who will hire you. Let me tell you what I look for in a new employee. First, I look at appearance. You will be expected to represent my company, and I have a level of expectation to my clients to uphold. This level of expecteation is nothing less than excellence. My clients expect to deal with a honest professional. So don't come in with pink hair, half shaved off, in ratted clothing with nipple rings exposed and expect to be granted a position in the company. Second, I listen to your communication skills. The words you choose to express yourself while representing my business is critical to success. The more you can communicate effectively both in the written word and in speach, the more successful you will become in life. If profanities is your companion, there is little chance that you will be in a professional office. The third characteristic I look for is attitude. I expect my employees to serve my clients to the best of their abilities. Everyone is human. Being human we all make mistakes. When we make these mistakes, we each must be willing to learn from our mistakes. This includes refraining from insulting, slighting , or biting comments when things don't exactly go your way. No one in business ifs interested in your bad day. Fourth, don't expect to have the six figure job stait out of school. This nation once took on apprentaces to fulfill the employment requirements of our businesses. More recently, interns come in to many businesses to learn in their particular field. So when you apply for a job, keep your ego in check, and accept that you will start in an entry level job. Over time, you will learn new skills and earn more money. You may think you can run the business you work for, but it's not your job. Also, accept that each employer will teach you to be an effective employee in thier business. They want you to succeed to that the business succeeds. Finally, I expect you to fulfill your commitments. This means showing up to work on time, and working the scheduled hours. In the real world, your parents can't call up for a makeup test.

Needless to say, I lost to a member of the Government.

2005-04-06T21:08:00.000-07:00

Great men never aspire to be great. They are great because of their character. They are men of high moral character. Great men leave a legacy unplanned, and transcending the bonds of time. I do have several examples. First in modern history would be George Washington, and all the signers of the Declaration of Independence. While it is true that those who did sign, and also those who did act on the Deliration of Independence were committing High Treason against the Crown, they were revolutionary in incredible and innumerable ways.
The Signers had the revolutionary idea of freedom. They believed that mankind, when ruled by morals and rules, rather than a king, would aspire to great heights. They believed so firmly, in the document they signed, that they, "pledge to each other our, Lives our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Indeed their ideas and actions have transcended the test of time.
Later, The United States of America was blessed once again that Abraham Lincoln lead the nation through the most difficult time of the 19th century. This uncommon courage, and leadership brought a nation ravaged with Civil war to peace, and then prosperity.
In our day, Ronald Regan, the most beloved President of our time, is revered in reverence. His endless optimism and cheerful twinkling of his eyes, won the nations heart. The Nation believed in Ronald Regan because Regan believed in them. His political opponents were befuddled to discover a weakness to attack his ideas and ideology. They were hard pressed to figure a way to prevent his agenda. His agenda was simple, defeat communism, lower taxes, and believe in the American people. In retrospect, he succeeded in all counts.
Ronald Regan is remembered and honored for who he is. We miss him dearly.
Recent event must include the passing of Pope John Paul II. To put it simply, his faith never wavered. He never wavered in the difference between good and evil. He never deviated to the path of immorality. His legacy is not "mixed", but his path is clear. He is a man of high moral character, and his word is his bond. It's a shame that so many do not understand men of character.

The Kite

2005-04-04T21:11:00.001-07:00

Is it any wonder that the Libs are loosing big in nearly every important issue of the day. After emotions run high and long, human beings review thier souls and know that with the sanction and ordered death of Terri Schaivo, America is diminished. The promise of America, which is nothing less than "life, liberty and the persuit of happiness..." apparenty according the Florida Judicial system does not apply to American citizens. But rest assured, every member of Florida's death row, will have three square meals a day, all the water desired, and every appeal fully reviewed.
While there is nothing left to turn the events of death of Terri Schiavo, we can be assured that the Final judgement, will be with God. Indeed there will be Terri herself to stand as a witness in her perfected glory to speak for herself finally. At the great and terrible day of judgement, there will be all the lawyers, attournies, judges, witnesses, and affiliated parties and they will be judged according to thier actions. Each will know thier own guilt, and know that they are peril of the wrath of God.
On the lighter side, this is a stark reminder of the realities of this frail and beautiful life. We must recongize that life is fleeting, tender, pressious. It is a gift from the Almighty, of whom is the only one with authority to give life and take life.
I realize that such ideas, indeed such deeply held to a Liberal is much like a cross and holy water is to Dracula, these ideas and beliefs indeed exist. Indeed, there are many who would testify that God lives, and he has a plan for each and every one of us. That he made it possible to return to this perfected presence. While such ideas to secularist seem small and unintelectual, it does provide a clear and required service for mankind. Such order is needed for man to aspire to greater heights than would be from with in ones self.
This concept is much like a kite. If we think of our selves as a kite, our string would be rules and morals and other such concepts that would seem to hold us back. But when the winds of life blow, we can raise to great hights, higher than perhaps we would of known possibly known. Even when great winds that could destroy us, that string will hold us strong. Thus the morals and rules keeps us true to ourselves, and respected by others.

Terri Schiavo

2005-03-23T21:06:00.000-08:00

If it weren't so sad and bitter a case, the next comment could be comical. If Teri's parents really wanted to keep Teri alive for an indeterminate but lengthy amount of time, just convict her in California with a death sentence, and she would be guaranteed another 25 years. Yet, as it is, the State of Florida has indeed sentenced Teri Schiavo to death. Judges that have yet to meet the poor woman, physically see her, have indeed condemned her to a death prohibited by law to commit on animals.
I feel a pulse of revulsion when I hear anyone that would want this death. The preoccupation of death of a nation that grants life as a fundamental right, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...", is a reckless movement to tyranny. Having the members of a known Rouge court system in Florida decides the case of Teri Schiavo's life or rather death is no comfort.
Why is it that when men and women show a passion for the sanctity of life, there is a shrill bombardment of lampoon derogatory declaratives that must accompany any debate? I just wonder when the last time those cowardly judges read the Ten Commandments, or be they Christian in any sense, any part of the bible.
Perhaps a full investigation by those with whom the authority is given, into the several allegations that Michael, the vulture husband, has indeed committed a crime. Unfortunately, I sitting here at my PC cannot get all the facts to make an informed choice.
In the end, at least here is the perfect reason that the '60's should have never happened. I hope you baby boomers have such loving spouses as to refrain from having a court battle to ensure your death.

To the Parents, Friends and Family of Terri Schiavo

2005-03-18T20:51:00.000-08:00

My deepest condolences. I can only express my outrage to the total disreguard of life. Your loss may be America's gain. (no consolation.) For the future of America, the line between good and evil has been clearly drawn. If Evil prevails, be comforted that your daughter will be recieved by her Heavenly Father, with open arms in a sweet reuion. If Good preveils, then you have your daughter for a bit more time until that day when God calls her home.

The adulter husband that has bastard children with his mistress, had acted in a wholey selfish mannor. No man of character would ever treat his wife this way. If there was a soul in that man that knew of God's plan for Mankind, he would act as a Man should. One with conviction in God's work and wonder. When that Man meets his maker, will he beable to look God in the eye. Will that Judge be able to look God in the eye. Will atournies involved in the Mark Schiavo case be able to look God in the eye. I think not. None of them will even look Teri in the eye.

A sad and long day is that when the innocent will not be protected, when life shall not be preserved. It is long time that the Citizens of the United States of America take our county back. I say that we allow the judges, cowards among men, die in the exact same mannor that they sentenced Teri to die. I furthor suggest that the coward adulter husband die the sameway had been given to Teri.

May I quote the founding documents of the United States of America. Specifically, the Declaration of the United States of America:

WHEN, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Perhaps if this document was actually studied and understood, the people of the United States of America would demand that the preservation of Life is a Right, and not a previlige given by doctors behind masks.

Michael Jackcon

2005-02-27T20:30:00.000-08:00

So this Monday the "trial of the Century" will begin. A few things to note:

First, Michael Jackson is the only Black Man trying to be a white woman. Having said that, it can be said that he has the jury of his peers. No blacks & mostly women.

Secondly, This is not the only accusation of child touching against Michael Jackson. If one were to think beyond the Stardom, it would reason (to use the cliché) where there's smoke, there's fire. Basically, I would have a hard time believing that Jackson is totally, 100% innocent. Just ask O.J. He's still looking for the real killer on the many golf courses of the world.

Third, this particular judge takes no Bullsh (new word: meaning should be obvious). He is in the business of adjudicating over these proceedings, and is making damned sure it happens in a timely manor.

Fourth, I know someone, who personally was invited and stayed at the Nederland Ranch. This individual confirms many of the strange behaviors and items reported to be there.

Fifth, the released grand jury testimony, if even 60% accurate, is enough to convict Mr. Jackson. There is enough specific information and accurate explanation to make me believe that if not true child abuse under the current definition of the law, then at least enough to build one hell of a circumstantial case.

Finally, The prosecutors are doing everything with in the law to protect children from a potential predator. We should support all law enforcement that is for the protection of children from such predators. It's just too bad this case is being tired in California, and not Texas.

Observations

2005-02-25T20:22:00.000-08:00

I don't have whole lot for tonight, so I gathered a few thought and observations.

1) The United States of America Remains the Greatest Nation ever placed on Earth.
2) The French only do two things well, make wine and surrender.
3) Tony Blair is a man of unusual conviction
4) The Iraqi’s are a people of unbelievable courage.
5) The United States Armed Forces are a group of incredible individuals performing their duties with flawless accuracy.
6) The Red States still out number the Blue States.
7) Bush is still the President of the United States, get over IT!!!
8) Harry Reid is a small man, with a small voice, spouting small ideas.
9) Despite popular belief, the Ten Commandments are the basis of all law in the United States of America.
10) Indeed, theTen Commandments are the basis of both the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United State of America.
11) The United States Government still remains the greatest roadblock to America's economic success.
12) When in doubt, trust in freedom. Freedom is the natural state of Mankind.
13) When one must explain one's greatness to you, one reveals the lack of greatness.
14) The opportunities in the United States of America are still endless. Why do you think we have people still pouring over the Borders to get here?
15) The Supreme Court Justices are not the Nine Gods of Mount Olympus. Even they make mistakes.
16) Conservatism as currently constituted, is the ideology of the Majority of the Nation.
17) Those in Washington D.C. should be required to drive through "flyover county" and stay in some Middle American town for at least on week per year.
18) We should never elect a single Lawyer again, for any reason, ever. (with the exception of perhaps Mark Lavin.)
19) The definition of a good deal, is when nobody walks away happy.
20) The New Media allows for this list to be published.

Local Radio

2005-02-24T20:48:00.000-08:00

I am a radiophile. I love radio, especially good radio. I grew up in the L.A. radio market, and came to love KNX, and KFI. For a short time there was KMDY- Comedy Radio. It was great. Good production of local commercials, programs and programming. I now live in a minor market in the American Desert Southwest. Here, I am nothing but constantly disappointed in local radio market. The local talk station can't decide if it's going to be a talk station or sports station. Its local commercial production sounds like its made with all the audio skill of a backhoe. I am just so tired of the attitude of good enough that perpetually broadcast on this little station and her sister stations. Where is the pride in doing a job well done? Where is the commitment to striving toward perfection? Alas, thank the heavenly stars for Internet Radio.

Michael Moore

2004-08-30T20:48:00.000-07:00

Since when does a guy like Michael Moore become America's loudest voice. His ability to streatch the truth is second only to his waist size. To quote Phil Hendrie, "Michael Moore is a turd looking for a butt." Not that he does not bring it on himself.

Is it not enough that he brings attention to himself like some orhan ADAH 3rd grader, who's life is centered around the exact amount of attention he brings to himself? Is abiliy to stretch the truth is second only to Bill Clinton, who could not speak the truth if it would save his sorry hide in a legal matter.

Men of like these of deviant behavior fail to understand the nature of America and her people because of their own natures. They fail to understand that a Faith in God is not a form of weakness in those whom are faithful, but rather, thier faith is the source of thier stregnth. The vast silent majority of the world believe in some form or another of the Almighty, called by various names, be the concept of Theism is still the same. They fail to recongize the Creator for who he is, and realize his hand in all things large and small. Thus they fail to understand the greatness of mankind, and his roll in the world, and universe. Our insignificance is only in that we do not recongize God.

Introduction

2004-08-23T06:01:00.000-07:00

To my readers:
For those of you that have plenty of free time to ready my little blog, (bless you) please know that I am not the average guy. Rather I have taken great pride in my individuallity. I would like to expand on this little declaritory statement. It's rather simple.
Since I was little, I knew that my life would not be normal. My dad is a Special Effects man, working full time in Hollywood since I was 5. When I was about 12 he would take me along to the various locations and studios, and durring the summers I would be hired as the runner. I went to college to blow the money I had earned over time in a one year fabulous party. Later returning to college paying for every mistake I make as a college freshman.
Now I am a self made Architect. I still have no college degree, rather I used my experience in the Construction field to Qualify for the title. There are those that do not believe in my ability to produce construction documents, but then there are those with building by me. So you decide based on this little yarn I weave.
Later, I will fill in the details, and the general observations that I have on life.

The Olympics

2004-08-17T07:50:00.000-07:00

Is there a larger waste of time than the Olympics? I am I the only one that can't stand the Olympics? A once noble and honored quest, reduced to rumors and enuendo of cheating with chemicals, and bribery. Then the add the obnoxious over paid cry babies called the "US Basketball Team" in the mix and it's almost unbarable. Fortuneatly, the NBA dirty Dozen was humiliated a few times. If only there were a really bad episode of ALF still to watch rather than his garbage, it would relieve the searing pain of my eyes watching the Olympic Games. Too bad we can't make a class action law suit against NBC or the holyier than thou Bob Costas. Just makes you wish for a black out.
