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.

Golf story by Bob Looney!

A husband and wife were out golfing together one day when they

came upon a tough par 4 hole. The husband hooked his drive deep

into the woods and proclaimed that he would have to chip out.

Then the wife said, "Maybe not, dear! Do you see that barn over

there? If I open the doors on both sides, I do believe you could

hit it right through and reach the green."

So the husband agrees to give it a try, but when he hits the ball

it goes straight through the first doors of the barn, hits the

crossbeam, ricochets back and hits his wife square in the head,

killing her stone dead.

Well, about a year goes by and the man is golfing with a friend.

He finds himself on the same hole, with the same results: a hook

deep in the woods. He is all set to chip out when his friend runs

up to him and says, "Wait! Do you see that barn over there? If I

open the doors on both sides, I think you can still reach the

green."

"No way," replies the man, "I tried that last year and got a 7."

Subject: Fw: Fwd: Roy Rogers Museum has closed



...  the down town square of Portsmouth, Ohio is “Roy Rogers

Square” I met Roy and Dale in Saigon one morning (1967) at the Rex

Officers Club, Roy is from Duck Run, Ohio, he worked at Selby Shoe in

Portsmouth. The Toyman’s family had a country place where Roy’s

relatives lived there and the uncle ran a country store….



THIS A VERY NICE ARTICLE, THE MUSEUM WAS ORIGINALLY AT Knoxberry Farm

in California.



Toyman, Portsmouth change much in in 70 years? I thought like this



The Roy Rogers Museum has closed its doors forever:



A time in History, never to be seen again, but what a ride it was…….

HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU! THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY FRIENDS!



The Roy Rogers Museum in Branson , MO has closed its doors forever.

The contents of the museum were sold at a public auction. Roy Rogers

told his son, if the museum ever operates at a loss, close it and sell

the contents. He complied. Note the follow-on article truly the end of

an era.

Here is a partial listing of some of the items that were sold at auction...

Roy's 1964 Bonneville sold for $254,500, it was estimated to sell

between 100 and 150 thousand dollars.



His script book from the January 14, 1953 episode of "This Is Your

Life" sold for $10,000 (est. $800-$1,000).



A collection of signed baseballs (Pete Rose, Duke Snyder and other

greats) sold for $3,750.



A collection of signed bats (Yogi Berra, Enos Slaughter, Bob Feller,

and others) sold for $2,750.



Trigger's saddle and bridle sold for $386,500 (est.100-150 K).



One of many of Roy 's shirts sold for $16,250 and one of his many

cowboy hats sold for $17,500.





One set of boot spurs sold for $10,625. (He never used a set of spurs

on Trigger).



A life size shooting gallery sold for $27,500.



Various chandeliers sold from $6,875 to $20,000. Very unique and

artistic in their western style.



A signed photograph by Don Larsen taken during his perfect game in the

world series against the Dodgers on Oct. 8,1953, along with a signed

baseball to Roy from Don, sold for $2,500.



Two fabulous limited edition BB guns in their original boxes with

numerous photos of Roy, Dale, Gabby, and Pat sold for $3,750.



A collection of memorabilia from his shows entertaining the troops in

Vietnam sold for $938. I never knew he was there. His flight jacket

sold for $7,500.

His set of dinnerware plates and silverware sold for $11,875. The

Bible they used at the dinner table every night sold for $8,750.



One of several of his guitars sold for $27,500.



Nellybelle sold for $116,500.



A fabulous painting of Roy , Dale, Pat, Buttermilk, Trigger, and

Bullet sold for $10,625.



One of several sets of movie posters sold for $18,750.



A black and white photograph of Gene Autry with a touching inscription

from Gene to Roy sold for $17,500.



A Republic Productions Poster bearing many autographs of the people

that played in Roy 's movies sold for $11,875.



Dale's horse, Buttermilk (whose history is very interesting) sold

below the presale estimate for $25,000. (est. 30-40 K).





Bullet sold for $35,000 (est.10-15 K). He was their real pet.



Dale's parade saddle, estimated to sell between 20-30 K, sold for $104,500.



One of many pairs of Roy 's boots sold for $21,250.



Trigger sold for $266,500.



Do you remember the 1938 movie "The Adventures of Robinhood", with

Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland? Well Olivia rode Trigger in that

movie.

Trigger was bred on a farm co-owned by Bing Crosby. Roy bought Trigger

on a time payment plan for $2,500. Roy and Trigger made 188 movies

together. Trigger even out-did Bob Hope by winning an Oscar in the

movie "Son of Paleface" in 1953.



It is extremely sad to see this era lost forever. Despite the fact

that Gene and Roy 's movies, as well as those of other great

characters, can be bought or rented for viewing, today's kids would

rather spend their time playing video games. Today it takes a very

special pair of parents to raise their kids with the right values and

morals. These were the great heroes of our childhood, and they did

teach us right from wrong, and how to have and show respect for each

other and the animals that share this earth.



You and I were born at the right time. We were able to grow up with

these great people even if we never met them. In their own way they

taught us patriotism and honor, we learned that lying and cheating

were bad, and sex wasn't as important as love. We learned how to

suffer through disappointment and failure and work through it. Our

lives were drug free.



So it's good-bye to Roy and Dale, Gene and Hoppy, The Lone Ranger and

Tonto. Farewell to Sky King and Superman and Sgt. Friday. Thanks to

Capt. Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers and Capt. Noah and all those people whose

lives touched ours, and made them better.





It was a great ride through childhood.

HAPPY TRAILS MY FRIENDS

In Response to Obama, Israeli Settlers Reject the ‘Auschwitz Borders’ of 1967



By ROBERT MACKEY and ELIZABETH A. HARRIS



New York Times
May 19, 2011

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/19/israeli-settlers-reject-the-auschwitz-borders/?partner=rss&emc=rss



The editors of Arutz Sheva, an Israeli settler news organization...reported on Thursday that Mr. Obama had “dramatically changed U.S. foreign policy” by suggesting that Israel should eventually withdraw to what the settlers called the “Auschwitz borders” of the 1967 state.



That resonant phrase, which suggests that Israelis would face genocide should they withdraw fully from the land they have occupied since the end of the 1967 war, is based on a mangled version of a remark made by the Israeli diplomat Abba Eban in 1969. According to Haaretz, Mr. Eban told the German newsweekly Der Spiegel in that year: “We have openly said that the map will never again be the same as on June 4, 1967. For us, this is a matter of security and of principles. The June map is for us equivalent to insecurity and danger. I do not exaggerate when I say that it has for us something of a memory of Auschwitz.”



Israeli leaders have frequently used some version of this phrase to invoke the existential dread of the Holocaust when pressed to withdraw from the occupied territories as part of a peace agreement.

In 2002, Ariel Sharon told William Safire that a proposed Saudi peace plan was unacceptable because, “Israel cannot return to the ‘67 borders. Abba Eban long ago called them ‘Auschwitz borders’; Israel would not be able to exist.



A decade earlier, when another Israeli leader, Yitzhak Shamir, expressed his outrage when the administration of President George H. W. Bush called for a freeze on Jewish settlements in the occupied territories — in exchange for $10 billion in American loan guarantees — The Times reported that a senior official in the prime minister’s office, a young Benjamin Netanyahu, complained that Israel was being asked to accept, “the borders of Auschwitz.” (End quote from the New York Times)



From the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, May 18, 2011:



"Israel makes capital out of the six million to justify policies of destruction and expulsion not just in the past, but in the present and future. As the state which claims to be the heir of the Holocaust martyrs, Israel crowns itself as the winner in the global, historical competition of victimhood." --Amira Hass (end quote)



Auschwitz! Auschwitz! Auschwitz! Why this Eternal Mantra?



By Michael Hoffman



Holocaustomania, the perpetual Auschwitz of the mind, raises its morbid, tiresome, head again and again and again. Outside of the edifices of Churchianity, the eternal Auschwitz mantra finds its most fertile soil among the gentiles of the Republican party and Fox network television news, who are forever telling Medicaire and Social Security recipients, African-Americans and any U.S. worker who has lost a job to "Free trade" -- "Stop your whining and your sense of entitlement and get over it!"



But when the Zionists trot out their Auschwitz idol, and their pain, and their entitlement, and their whining - not only have they not "gotten over it” after 67 years, they've made a formal religion (“Shoah”) out of it -- then it's okay; indeed, more than okay -- just observe the Republican right wing automatically genuflect in pious, tearful, humble obeisance when any Judaic shouts "Auschwitz!"



The American right wing never tires of Auschwitz. Dresden February '45, Nagasaki August '45, Beirut August '82, Gaza January '09 and dozens of other cities holocausted by the noble Allies, or the holy "Jewish state," don't count or qualify as mantras of victimhood. The German, Japanese and Arab victims of those holocausts are expected to shut up, forever. They are not entitled to the same victim status.



Why? Because Germans, Japanese and Arabs don't have souls equal to that of the "Jews" who, their holy books inform them, possess the highest soul, the "Neshama HaElyonah," which gentiles do not possess. And now you know why the cry of "Auschwitz!" drowns out the invocation of every other holocaust.



What is lost in the scramble to validate Judaic whining and entitlement, is the fact that Palestinians must have the 1967 borders for their future state because without them they will have "Gaza borders" and die like flies, as fifteen hundred of them did in Gaza, at the hands of the Israeli army and air force, from December, 2008 through January, 2009.

We always know, we always know, which is the right way to go, and which is the wrong way to go. Sometimes, the wrong way is easier to go, or more satisfying, and so we choose that way instead of the right one and we justify it with complicated wordplay and such; but we are only kidding ourselves.– Bill Cooper





Quote from: Raven on December 22, 2010, 08:14:21 PM

I stated it before and I will again, people who think within the parameters given to them or familiar to them are not being realistic. There are no parameters in real life. Our enemies outsmart folks all the time because they have no restrictions or morals. They are the pragmatists from hell.



I firmly believe and I live my life according to this: that I owe my first allegiance to my God and Jesus Christ, my second allegiance I owe to the Constitution of the United States of America and my third allegiance to my family. And the reason my allegiance is in that order is because God endowed man with unalienable rights. The Constitution protects those rights, and the family is thus able to survive and be protected and thrive. And the family is the basic unit of civilization, period. And I further believe that any man or woman without principles that they are ready and willing to die for at any given moment that they are called upon to do it, are already dead and are of no use or consequence to anyone -- not even themselves. Understand what I just said. -Bill Cooper



My blog: Deceived World

A poem worth reading... Thanks Sarah Rapp!

Subject: Fw: A Poem Worth Reading







Maybe this is your grandpa, your Dad, or your husband, a friend ,or you! Something to think about







A Poem Worth Reading



He was getting old and paunchy

And his hair was falling fast,

And he sat around the Legion,

Telling stories of the past.



Of a war that he once fought in

And the deeds that he had done,

In his exploits with his buddies;

They were heroes, every one.



And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors

His tales became a joke,

All his buddies listened quietly

For they knew where of he spoke.



But we'll hear his tales no longer,

For ol' Bob has passed away,

And the world's a little poorer

For a Soldier died today.



He won't be mourned by many,

Just his children and his wife.

For he lived an ordinary,

Very quiet sort of life.



He held a job and raised a family,

Going quietly on his way;

And the world won't note his passing,

'Tho a Soldier died today.



When politicians leave this earth,

Their bodies lie in state,

While thousands note their passing,

And proclaim that they were great.



Papers tell of their life stories

From the time that they were young

But the passing of a Soldier

Goes unnoticed, and unsung.



Is the greatest contribution

To the welfare of our land,

Some jerk who breaks his promise

And cons his fellow man?



Or the ordinary fellow

Who in times of war and strife,

Goes off to serve his country

And offers up his life?



The politician's stipend

And the style in which he lives,

Are often disproportionate,

To the service that he gives.



While the ordinary Soldier,

Who offered up his all,

Is paid off with a medal

And perhaps a pension, small.



It is not the politicians

With their compromise and ploys,

Who won for us the freedom

That our country now enjoys.



Should you find yourself in danger,

With your enemies at hand,

Would you really want some cop-out,

With his ever waffling stand?



Or would you want a Soldier--

His home, his country, his kin,

Just a common Soldier,

Who would fight until the end.



He was just a common Soldier,

And his ranks are growing thin,

But his presence should remind us

We may need his like again.



For when countries are in conflict,

We find the Soldier's part

Is to clean up all the troubles

That the politicians start.



If we cannot do him honor

While he's here to hear the praise,

Then at least let's give him homage

At the ending of his days.



Perhaps just a simple headline

In the paper that might say:

"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,

A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."





Pass On The Patriotism!
