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.

Best of luck... Thanks Tom& Carolyn!

Best of Luck to you!






Irish Luck - Remember to send it back!

I want this back. It DOES work.


His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools

and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.




The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.




'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'




'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.




'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.




'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.




'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary 's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.




Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.


The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?


Sir Winston Churchill.

From the Podium:

J. D. Pendry, Retired Sergeant Major, USMC



FROM THE PODIUM







This retired USMC Sgt. Major has his Stuff together.



Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw

the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the

spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people

hostage. You're the "runner-in-chief."



Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists

were

at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you

ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First

Trade

Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time

you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.



John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about

American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is

more

fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and

children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time,

and the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake! You want

to

run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the

Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before

you were against it.



John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win

militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded

murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa,

John?

And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't

suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero

resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt, and washed up old fool. You're

not

a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's

ass.

You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.



Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis,

tenders

of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered

two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to

the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate.

History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick

run.



Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein,

Russ

Feingold, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist

morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television

cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our

President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that

we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that

tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run

away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is

inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic

jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after

they

have gained both strength and momentum.



American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you

publish

stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering

methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung

that

torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up

the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my

country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think

about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.



You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy

us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more

important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent

civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in

the

way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing.

There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering

terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend

this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home as you

claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of

supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.



Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm

also

questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be

breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in

uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war

to

the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people

who are willing to defend it.



Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside

and those who attempt it from within.



Semper Fi,

J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired







This is a savvy man. He has nailed it down pretty good. Too bad it won't

do

any good. There won't be 1 in 10 that receive it who will forward it.

French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney

(AP), Paris , March 5, 2003

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris , caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

Memories- Yesterday's birthday greetings- Thanks all!

Family and friends,

I received an unbelievable number of birthday greetings from family and friends yesterday when I became 78 years old. Mostly from Facebook. November 13, 1932 was the beginning of my life in Portsmouth Ohio and I am the grateful son of Forest and Mary kegley. I came into the "cultural Center of Our Universe", unrich in worldly goods as so many depression family babies were. But Forest and Mary nourished each of us ten.

Portsmouth was an outstanding place to receive my early nurturing and early friends. Many are still with me and many fine ones have passed on. That, we each learn, is part of this life on earth.

My young girl friend , and granddaughter, Tobey, slightly mentioned to me once that I consider everything to be "profound', and hinted that I am perhaps too serious in that respect. Maybe I am, without the intent to be that way. I am so happy to be her, and each of our grandkids, grandfather.

Anyway, to reflect on the birthday greetings for an old fellow, now, let me tell all that it helps to be remembered on your special days in life.

I thank all who sent me greetings and, even if you didn't, if you even had one good thought of me or my beautiful wife, Jeanie, I want to thank each of you from the bottom of my 78 year old heart.

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS

An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees!'
'What powerful rivers!'
'What beautiful animals!'
He said to himself.


As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.


He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer.

He tripped & fell on the ground.

He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.


At that instant moment, the Atheist cried out:
'Oh my God!'

Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.'
'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?'
'Am I to count you as a believer?'

The atheist looked directly into the light, and said: 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?'

'Very well', said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:

'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
