...'year of the Bible' ...

It's now 2014 and we're deeper in the proverbial "kimshee"(as my Dad - a WWII veteran from the Indo-China theater - used to say) than we have ever been.  Some accuse the left while the left accuses the right, each vowing vengeance on the other for misdeeds and calculated destruction of the others way to a better life.  Some are making preparations for the time when the bottom drops out by either economic failure or through some yet unidentified extreme natural occurrence.  Many more just hump their shoulders and try to ignore everything.  A select and alert few have touched on the what I believe to be the heart issue: that we are dealing with Evil.  And that Evil is replicating at an exponential rate having been given the ideal petri dish in which to flourish. This "ideal" condition is the near complete minimization, neutralization, or in a growing number of instances, the complete removal and/or silencing of anything truly spiritual in nature.  In short:

God's Presence and Voice in America is, for all intent and purpose, no longer seen nor heard.

BUT - I am encouraged with the following:

Spare me your putrid regurgitations of a too oft repeated but completely unfounded phase misunderstood by most who accept it's erroneous implication.  The U.S. Constitution NEVER STATED NOR IMPLIED there should be "separation of church and state". Neither did our Bill of Rights.  What our Founders envisioned was the absence of a "state religion" such as existed in England at that time, wherein the "state" and "church" were married, with the ecclesiastical leaders often calling the political shots behind the scenes.  Without religion, morality is absent in any society.

What this mayor has done is offer a ray of hope and light to an otherwise declining, pitch black situation. The Evil we face is caused by the lack of character and virtue in the hearts and lives of those individuals who have laid out and perpetuated the "plan" that has us at the breakpoint.  

The fight for me, and those few of my profession who "get it", has two fronts.  The first to work against the current flow while preparing for the tidal wave very likely to come.  The other, to fight Evil on the ground it is intended to be engaged and to awaken as many as will listen to the message. And let me be clear about this one point: should push come to shove and all peaceful means of restoration of our Constitution be exhausted, I will join with others in re-securing our rightful liberties by any means necessary.  I believe that what God has provided to us, we are obligated to protect by any and all means at our disposal. 

Our Founding Fathers understood very well the true nature and source of their opposition.  We would do well to take this particular page from their "playbook" if we would hope to secure our liberties and those of our posterity.

A Grievous Loss

Today the Patriot world has received word that one of our own has suffered the loss of his newborn son.  There are no words, however religious or spiritual, that can ease the grief of such an occasion.

You'll find the announcement here.

As he and his family come to mind in the days and weeks to come, pray for their comfort.  Offer a word of sympathy, give aid to a fellow Patriot if it's at all possible.

James 4:14  "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

It's past time we all took life a little more seriously.

a litle clarification here, please...

Have I missed something or am I possibly under some kind of misguided delusion when I ask when did the head of the Executive Branch of what little is left of our Republic government receive the power to TELL a private corporation what to do with THEIR PRODUCT?

There is not enough space available in the blogosphere to contain the rant on all this regime has done to undermine the Republic I was born into.

News report here: "Badged Anal Rapists Score Again"  (my retitle)

As was noted on another blog, the idiot judge who gave leave for such RECURRING egregious action should be included in the sweeping lawsuits. (read here)...  does "criminal facilitation" come to bear here..??

This account is enough to make the dispassionate weep with sympathy...  this collection of biped filth should be ruined both financially and legally through lengthy prison terms in GP - that's right, no protection in segregation... they should be afforded the same rights in incarceration as their victim was in public....

the actions of every individual involved in carrying out this travesty are disgusting and horrendous... 

"The Scorpion and the Frog"

"It was my job to be a good steward over what God had provided for us and I would be remiss in my duty just to hand it over, with no questions asked."

There is some talk of charity during the coming national difficulties.  Most of the talk centers around the question of "should I be charitable?"  Each individual must come to his or her own conclusion in this matter and there are many factors to be taken into consideration.

The linked article addresses one important aspect of charity whether in "good times" or in SHTF conditions. The topic and title of the piece is "Accountability in Charity".

Read it here.

The family exampled in the article are not untypical of vast numbers today - whether young or old. I could go on but perhaps should reserve my thoughts on the topic for a separate post.

Nothing in this life is easy - not even the act of being charitable is simple anymore

On Religious Freedom

The arrogance of the petty tyrant sitting in our White House is reaching new depths.  His true colors are shining through as well.  Although perhaps less widely known, communism is marked not only by it's totalitarianism but also it's rejection of and hatred for anything religious.  His Petulance is striking that chord now in our military.

Read it here.

Note: while I'm not Catholic, I will stand with and for the right of the Catholic to exercise his faith as his conscience dictates.  This is so of the Jew, Mormon, Buddhist, etc.  It's my contention that he is trying to stifle the Catholics because they likely represent the largest single religious group in the military.

What does he tell his children when they see things like this?  How does he justify his actions and/or those of his subordinates?  Does he say something like, "They need punished so we take something away from them much like losing one's iPod or cell privileges."?  He should be careful something like this doesn't backfire on him in some way.......

Reflections....

My mind is consumed today with the events of this weekend - particularly Sunday's Million Vet March on D.C.  This is not a good thing since today is this week's "Monday" and I was gone 3 1/2 days before.  On the other hand, it is needful that I consider not just the past weekend but the near future as well.  I was proud - more than usual - to be an American, living in America this weekend. 

November 1, 2013 could see a first in American History: the nationwide shutdown of SNAP/EBT/Food Stamp cards.  Let that thought sink in........  a nation full of people with their hands out only to bring them back empty. 

But then who could have conceived that the (alleged) Commander-in-Chief would slap the collective face of "his own troops" (and that of those NOT his at this point) by closing NATIONAL monuments which were and are designed to HONOR both.  This just pisses me off.  His contempt and disregard for those who have or are actively demonstrating their commitment to this nation is glaringly apparent. Benghazi.  He cares nothing for those who have gone the distance.  He's dancing on the graves of the fallen.  He despises the very men and women who have preserved the nation he's been handed and is hell-bent on ruining. 

Know this, if you've been waivering on the issue, there is no civility on the part of the .gov any longer.  The mask is gone.  Illegally detaining foreign nationals in a motel for 2 days without so much as an apology for the sake of one's political stand???  WHO DOES THAT !!??  And what of the American tourists!!??  By the way, as we were moving from the Lincoln Memorial to the Spite House, I saw a small group of Asian men, obviously not Asian-Americans, and I apologized to them and those of their nation who may have been detained.  Americans have acted badly and we should be ashamed of it.  They, as well as all the others from other countries deserve better treatment than to be caught up in such childish antics.  I'm dumbfounded at such barbaric nonsense.  On the other hand, his foreign policy is terribly inadequate so what he had the Park Service do shouldn't be surprising. 

An arrogant, smug, self-absorbed, petty, wannabe despot does that.  And then dispatches a threat to shut off SNAP unless the GOP concedes??  When this concession occurs, America is lost.  Her only hope will be to go in a direction no one but the petty despot and his goons seem to be pushing.  I want no fight.  As some may have noted having met me, I'm too old for that crap.  But if you insist, I'll be singing one of Kenny Roger's songs: "Let's Go Out In A Blaze of Glory..."  You will have your wish. 

I am of the opinion that with our rediscovered strength that we - the fed up, agitated, unwilling to tolerate anymore affronts Americans - go on the offensive.  If there are other places where Barry-cades obstruct, they should be summarily removed.  We must not lose the momentum of our moment.  What took place Sunday has American Spirit painted all over it.  There must be something that we can grab on to and shake it till it either surrenders or dies.  Then move on to the next until a trend is set and the ball begins to roll on it's own.

Our grandkids asked where we went that they couldn't go.  We responded by telling them that we went to fix some things that bad men had done.  Pictures will be shown to them in the coming days from the various websites displaying the Barry-cade Removal Act.  My hope is that they "get it" as they mature.  When we've passed from this scene, I hope they can look back and say, "our Grandmother and Grandfather were there that day.  They helped get things started back in the right direction.  We have what we have because they were willing to act against bad men doing bad things."

For the love of God and what He's blessed us with, go out, find something evil, and make it right.
