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.

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.

Grandpa carries a gun ... Thanks Ron Walters and Clay Vice!

From: Pidge Fuller
Subject: Grandpa Carries a Gun !
























Why Carry a Gun?



My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life

when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually

it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'



I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.



I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes

this world can be a scary place.



I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there

are real threats in the world.



I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have

lived long enough to see the evil in the world.



I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun

because I understand the limitations of government.



I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't

have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be

prepared.



I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun

because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a

sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.



I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when

I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.



I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because

men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.



I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because

unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.



I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love

life and the people who make it meaningful to me.



Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect

themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just

investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to

clean up the mess.



Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to

take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY



In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,

about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded

up and exterminated.

------------------------------



In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5

million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated. ------------------------------



Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total

of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves

were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million

political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.

------------------------------



Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000

Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.

---- ------------- -------------



Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000

Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.

------------------------------



Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one

million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up

and exterminated.

-----------------------------



Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century

because of gun control: 56 million.

------------------------------



You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians

disseminating this information.



Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,

gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.



Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!



The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind

them of this history lesson.



With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During

WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew

most Americans were ARMED!



If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message

to all of your friends.



The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in

defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is

more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else

is supplemental.



SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!

SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED

COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT

WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING

CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.



I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please

forward.

Why do blacks still let o off the hook ... OneNewsNow.com

Why do blacks still let Obama off the hook? Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist - 7/18/2011 11:30:00 AM A Chicago Sun Times article, headlined "The disappearing black middle class," reports on the disproportionate impact of these hard economic times on blacks. Â According to the data, taken from the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, median net worth of white households fell from $134,280 in 2004 to $97,860 in 2009, while over the same period median black household net worth went from $13,450 to $2,170. Â The national unemployment rate stands at 9.2 percent, while black unemployment is over 16 percent. Â There's more, but you get the picture. The nation has been hit hard, but blacks much harder.






Â





Which raises a point of interest. Â Approval rates for President Obama among whites have dropped from 56% in early 2009 after he became president to 39% now -- a drop of 17 points. But over this same period, Obama's approval rating among blacks has dropped just 8 points -- 93% to 85%. Â Many whites who initially had supported our president are now crediting him for our current misery. But blacks, despite suffering far more, are far less inclined to hang it on Obama. Â The message that massive government spending and borrowing does not grow the economy has not reached blacks. Rather, like our president, they seem to believe that the problem is we just haven't yet dug the fiscal hole deep enough. Â Is this a racial thing? Whites will jump off the ship run by a black captain in a minute while blacks will ride it out until it hits the iceberg? Â No, I don't think so. I think it's both a liberal information thing and a moral thing. Â The liberal information thing is that blacks overwhelmingly get their information from liberal sources. Â Blacks watch CNN and MSNBC, not Fox. They listen to urban black radio. Â They are not going to hear from these sources that if you look all over the world, nations with the most prosperous economies are the ones with the most limited governments. Liberal media refuses to get and pass the word that socialism has failed. Â The major organizations that supposedly represent black interests are all on the left, generously funded by big left-wing white foundations and by our nation's corporations. The former do it because they are liberals and the latter do it to show that they are not racist. Â And, like the Economic Policy Institute, that produced the data reported in the Sun Times article, they are supported by unions. Â But I think more corrosive is the moral thing.



Â



Almost a half century since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, too many blacks still don't want to be free and accept the responsibilities that go with it. Too many blacks still believe that the condition of their lives is caused by what someone else does or has. Â It is sad that this is true despite the fact that blacks go to church more often, pray more often, and say religion plays a central part in their life more than any other ethnic group in the nation. Â Why does a people so inclined to turn to God so readily violate the Tenth Commandment's prohibition on covetousness and measure themselves in terms of what others have? And then use this sin to justify violating the Eighth Commandment and give government license to steal what others have in order to redistribute? Â Perhaps most fundamentally, how can a church-going people buy into the materialism of socialism? Â There is a solution to the general travails of our nation and the particular travails of our black brothers and sisters. Â It is called every man and woman taking personal responsibility for their lives, turning to government for protection of life and property -- not redemption, and living as free people according to traditional biblical mores.

From The London Times:

A Well-Planned Retirement



Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant.....

The fees for cars ($1.40), for buses (about $7).



Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work,

he just didn't show up; so the zoo management called the city council

and asked it to send them another parking agent.

The council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the zoo's own responsibility. The zoo advised the council that the attendant was a city employee.

The city council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the city payroll.



Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day -- for 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars ...... and no one even knows his name
