For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Letter: Levies must fail so our voices will be heard

To the Editor:

I've been very upset about the levy passing and my letter to the editor never got published. I don't plan to ever vote "yes" for another school levy as long as the funding for the schools comes from only property owners. I can't think of any other form of taxation that is as unfair.

I believe there should be a school tax based on income. Or people who do not pay property taxes should not be allowed to vote on a levy.

I'm a single person paying more then 10 percent of my income on property taxes, and now I have to pay another $500. The worst part is knowing every couple of years we'll be asked to give the schools this much more again.



I've only been here four years and the school taxes have gone up $1,000. I most likely will have to move. Right after the levy passed, six homes within a quarter-mile of me have gone up for sale.

Right now, 21 percent of households in Westerville, who rent, pay no school taxes. I've heard the argument that their landlord is paying the taxes, but I've looked on the auditor's Web site. I found a nice apartment complex with four units and the owner was paying around $7,500.

I'm a single person in a small older home paying $4,500 a year, most to the schools. If there are eight working adults in those apartments and they all paid that much on school taxes, maybe the schools would have enough and others like me could get a break. It would be interesting to see how many people go to the polls voting "yes" for a school levy when they don't have to pay it.

Because of our economy, 3.35 percent of Westerville homes in Franklin County have not yet paid their last property taxes. That comes up to over 1,000 homes based on 35,500 homes in Westerville schools. It will be worse next year, which means the schools will have less money and need more.

It sounds like the Westerville school board has done as much as it can to keep the cost down although, according to Westerville's financial reports, more than 80 percent of the money collected goes to salaries and benefits. The lowest paid teacher I'm helping to support still makes significantly more than me.

If I'm still here next levy, I'll be trying to organize my own parade for the people against any more school levies. Shame on anyone who didn't get out to vote but was against the levy. Our politicians know how many people are suffering, but nothing changes. I hope eventually every school levy in Ohio fails because that seems to be the only way the leaders with the means will do something.

Smart little girl... Thankls Mary and Brother Paul

THIS IS THE BEST YET!!!





A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalk in front of
her home. Next to her was a basket containing a number tiny creatures; in
her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.

Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead
car stepped a tall, grinning man.

"Hi there, little girl, I'm President Obama. What do you have in the
basket?" he asked.

"Kittens," little Suzy said.

"How old are they?" asked Obama.

Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet."

"And what kind of kittens are they?"

"Democrats," answered Suzy with a smile.

Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR
chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens.

Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the president
should return the next day, and, in front of the assembled media, have the
girl talk about her discerning kittens.

So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk with her basket
of "FREE KITTENS" when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by
vans from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.

Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Obama got out of
his limo and walked over to little Suzy.

"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my friends out
there what kind of kittens you're giving away."

"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Republicans."

Taken by surprise, the president stammered, "But.... but... yesterday,
you told me they were DEMOCRATS."

Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know. But today, they have their eyes
open."
