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.

I back! Our little granddaughter, Tobey and my computer outage

I Back!

Once again I must apologize for my computer outage since Friday morning.  When she was just able to talk, Tobey would say "I be Back" as she would leave a room and proudly announce "I Back!" as she returned.

Well, I back!

I always aplauded the excellent preventative maintenance of orgainizations I worked with.  It is so easy to get so busy with the work one is doing and forget to do the little things of preventive maintenance.  I don't welcome Jeanie, with her form first efforts, to invade my small office because of my function first efforts. 

It cost me dearly this week.  A few weeks ago, I got a terrible hint that Hilda III, this computer Jeanie lets me spend so much time with, was seriously sick.  It was slow, but had no viruses according to my Microsoft Security System.  I hit start and restart and it reacted nearly not at all, although it did come up with its  "Gateway" name and the Pentium 4 logo in the corner.  It would go no farther. 

A couple of days later, I was shuffling around in my office and I looked up and, as if a miracle, my desktop with the myriad icons were there on my monitor.  I used this girl happily until Thursday night when similar circumstances occurred and I cautiously tried again to restart.  The same stall after Gateway appeared occurred.  I called Shawn Baird and he picked up my PC Friday morning. 

He returned the sick girl after yesterday's OSU game and it is now working fine.
The main problem appeared to be the accumulation of dust inside the PC cabinet.  After Shawn, my guru,  cleaned it up and removed some programs, which appeared to be heavy draws on the CPU usage, Jeanie's competition, Hilda III, is back!

I don't know if anybody cares to be without my dribble for a while, but I know that I missed Hilda.  I enjoy welcoming the email contributors and passing on the Conservative Christian values to my SamKat blog and corresponding with my fellow University of Kentucky fans.

Thanks Shawn!  You earned your money and Hilda is working fine now.

Occupy Wall Street is a play ... thanks Judi !

You Are Watching a Play -

The Occupy Wall Street movement, with their nonstop press coverage is a play that is being put on by the Obama administration’s reelection campaign.




The first thing to notice is that the press coverage of this event is on every network and is running nonstop. Since talk radio covers the main stream press, they too are covering this story. Remember that the Tea Party had 1.2 million people march on Washington DC and they didn’t get this much coverage. Glenn Beck had 650,000 people fill the Washington DC Mall, and it didn’t get this much coverage. Yet, Occupy Wall Street with a few thousand at best, is getting 24 hour, nonstop press coverage. Why?







It’s a small world -



Occupy Wall Street is taking place in Zuccotti Park, a private park owned by a private corporation called Brookfield Office Properties (BOP). Mayor Bloomberg claims he can’t clear the protesters, who are defecating in the park and blocking local businesses, unless the park’s owners ask him to clear the park...and they ain’t asking. The mayor’s longtime girlfriend, Diane L. Taylor, is on the Board of Directors for Brookfield Office Properties. Brookfield Office Properties is a major client of the newly created lobbying firm, Oldaker, Biden, and Belair (OBB). Yes, that’s Vice President Biden’s son, Hunter. OBB and BOP have been wildly successful in receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants for green energy projects similar to Solyndra. In fact, just last week, as they protesters occupied their New York private park, Zuccotti Park, they got a fresh $168 million from the Obama administration. It’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all, it’s a small, small world.







It gets better -



Who is Zuccotti? It turns out John E. Zuccotti, the man for whom the park is named, is a longtime member of the Board of Directors of WellPoint Health Networks, an HMO. This company received very favorable treatment in the ObamaCare legislation and stands to make billions when it is fully implemented.







Conclusion -



The protesters are protesting corporate greed in a private corporate park owned by Obama insiders. The Obama campaign is getting billions in free air time for their central campaign message that our economic problems are the result of Wall Street corporate greed which the Republicans refuse to regulate. Obama is the largest recipient of Wall Street money in history and has refused to prosecute the people responsible for the 2008 economic collapse.







When you take a government to the left, toward socialism, you necessarily open the door for more government corruption as someone has to confiscate the wealth before it can be distributed. Obama is distributing the money to people who support his campaign.







Counterargument -



The useful idiots in the park are arguing for distributing the wealth. You could hit them with the above arguments, but there is an easier argument. As governments move toward socialism the middle class shrinks. Look at Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and even Sweden. Sweden’s middle class was built up before 1970 when they were not socialist. Since that time it has been shrinking (similar to the U.S.) and they are moving away from those policies.

About Herman Cain ... Thanks Ramey Sonny Hoskins

You may have seen this, but it's worth another look.






What you may not know about Herman Cain who is running for president....







He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.



Here’s his bio:



Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.

Master’s degree in Computer Science.

Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).

Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.

VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).

All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!



Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.

Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.

In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.

He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.

Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!



Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.

Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!



Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.

Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—



STACK THAT UP AGAINST THE 'COMMUNITY ORGANIZER'....



Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
