Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

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.

Dick Klitch- Northam Wall of Fame Ceremony

Forgive me for bragging so much about my good friend, Dick Klitch, a fellow Mound Park Urchin from the Cultural Center of Our Universe- Portsmouth, Ohio.  Dick was honored again May 1 at the Upper Arlington Counsel Chambers on a rainy Saturday morning, May 1.

I hope I can get the brochure and some of the pics added as images.

I guess this one is the best I can currently do.  As a caption, Dick is the white haired gentleman with th black jacket in the center, Dick's wife Joan is in the red jacket, and Jeanie, my wife, is in the blue jacket sitting and talking with the lady in the pink jacket.  The lady is the widow of Bob Hart, Columbus East's coach of arguably Ohio's best basketball Champions. There were more than a hundred who came to honor this great "Meat and Potatoes" pro, as Dick refers to his teachings.

Thank God for the President!

"THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT"






"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid."

Ronald Reagan





Subject: THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT!



(Supposedly written by an 82 yr old lady who gives a whole new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing.)





That is right - I will say it "THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT."

1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!

2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedy's trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and freedom are safer tonight.

3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!

>Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit

>Evan Bayh had never lost a race- quit

>Byron Dorgan had never lost a race - quit

>Harry Reid - soon to be gone

These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be! In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.

4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well!

>Leftist-Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check

>Leftist-Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America - check

>Leftist-Liberals want to take over the economy - check

>Leftist Liberals think they know what is best for everyone - check

>Leftist-Liberals aren't happy till they are running your life - check

5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore!

7. In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the greatness and wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong.

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barak Obama woke up these great Americans! Again I want to say 'Thank you Barak Obama!' This is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed.



Now, if only God be with us...God bless America!!

Straight shooters!

I realize that all grandparents are proud of their grandkids, except for the incorrigible 3 % kids.  Even they are loved by caring grandparents.  Jeanie and I are so proud of each of ours and each for a varitey of reasons. 

I recently read "Happy Trails" a book chronicling the lives of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.  We are proud that RR was a native of Duck run , 12 miles west of Portsmouth, 'the city' to Roy.  I have also read much about Annie Oakley, the Greenville, Ohio farm girl.  Both Annie and Roy became sharp shooters of game to help their  families eat. 

Our Tobey Kegley, Jay's 13 year old and soon to be 14 in July, doesn't shoot game but she pitches fast pitch softball so well that she strikes out many of the opposing batters and hits the other fast pitch pitchers so well that it feeds us fans who love her so much.  She plays all positions assigned to her with moxie a thing my good friend, Dick Klitch, has always had in excess.

God blessed Roy and Dale as they raised many kids of a variety of health issues and he has blessed us lesser grandparents, Sam & Jeanie, with great grandkids such as Morgan, Ida Scout, Will and Daniel Allen (Jeff's wife Suzy's great athletic sons) and we didn't forget Tobey above.

Comments (3)Paul Stagg on May 10th, 2010 7:39 pm So, you're upset because government money comes with strings attached?

The real question "conservatives" should be asking:

Why is the federal government buying old people lunch?

Doug on May 10th, 2010 7:53 pm Why is the federal government buying old people lunch?

I don't disagree, but a similarly intriguing question for me is "Why is the government so threatened by prayers?" I decided to start with the last one first.

Mark1957 on May 11th, 2010 12:49 pm If federal subsidies bar the recipients from their right to pray, then nobody will be allowed to pray. The government subidizes nearly every crop grown in this country. Will those who recieve Medicare be denied their right to pray? Will I have to remove the plastic Jesus from my dashboard if I drive on a public road? The right ( and duty ) to pray comes from God, not from man or the government ! I will pray anywhere that I want to, and if they try to stop me I will beat them senseless, then I will pray again for forgiveness.

Thanks John Bob Looney! You have great emailers, Bob!

We have the power to change the equation this November.








We should all read this at least once a week until November and we "throw the bums out!"



545 vs. 300,000,000



Be you Republican or Democrat, you'll want to read this short article.



Charley Reese's articles have prompted more letters to the editor than any of the other Orlando Sentinel columnists in memory and he has sure hit the nail on the head here. 545 vs. 300,000,000 - What in the world happened to us? The article is completely neutral, not anti republican or democrat -- just plain ole Charlie. If you do not know, he is retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel who has been a journalist for 49 years.



Please share this with your friends.

545 VS THE PEOPLE



By Charlie Reese



Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them...Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.



You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.



You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.



You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.



One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million who are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.



In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.



I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason... They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.



Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits...The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.



The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker Of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party... She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.



It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.



If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.



If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red...



If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.



If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way...



There are no insoluble government problems.



Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.



Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or" politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.



Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible.



They and they alone, have the power.



They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.



Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!



STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not a single tax existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.



What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'



And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?



I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!!



YOU can help it get there!!!



GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN !!!!

Label reading 'food for thought' Thaks Dr. Hovermale!

Subject: Food for Thought







YOU BETTER READ IT...



FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND



OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN " FROM CHINA ". SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE which IS FROM CAL. ALSO WATCH FOR PICKLES. A LOT OF THE NO-NAME PICKLES COME FROM INDIA . BICK'S ARE FROM CANADA . WORTH THE SMALL DIFFERENCE IN

PRICE.







Another example was in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia . Next to them were President Choice brand. Produce of Canada a!! The P. C. went into my grocery bag.







TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !







Are we Americans and Canadians as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?







While the Chinese, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Obama Administration (and the Harper Government!) for perceived errors.







Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.



Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?



SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA/CANADA !!







Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all.







You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.



Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some North American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.



THINK ABOUT THIS, If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favour...fast!!







The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.





The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit

the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.



EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW !



Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent Americans and Canadians, and NOBODY can take us for granted





IN GOD WE TRUST

God Bless our TROOPS!
