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.

Jack Plymale and PHS

Sam, your mention of uncle Bert made a grand contribution to this day also. "It won't be a cough that carries me off, but a coffin they cary me off in." I've often wondered about his funeral , although, I am definitely not a fan of funerals. Also," The ark was made of gopher wood.There were gophers on it too. I f you could go for a gopher; could a gopher go for you. There was never another like him, especially in Portsmouth. His fingers badly tar stained from the way he held his cigarettes... My other favorite, I recall everytime I write to Sarah Rapp. Miss Henrietta Dupuy. I loved her then and I love her now( like a favorite aunt).I know I had her two years. I have no idea how we( Jim, Doc, and I) had uncle Bert two years. Miss Dupuy, of course called Doc , Stephen all the time. Jim and I got on that and called him by his complete name.... Stephen Jesse. He didn't like that at all but he never said anything till one day one of Miss Dupuys other favorites called him that. Doc immediately got in that guys face. Two guys can call me that and get away with it. You call me that one more time and I'll hurt you bad. Miss Dupuy was aghast if I could go back and pick( of all the places I have seen or heard of---there would be no change. Portsmouth, hands down. Jack P.

One picture ... Debt-obama ... thanks Nita!










Remember this picture when you go into the voting booth in November.....no matter who the Republican nominee is.
One Picture .......

. .....is worth a thousand words.
'Nuff said!

Constitutional reform ... thanks doug!


W/ respect to citizen Buffet, I would like tort reform, a flat tax, and term limits of two terms for all federal offices.  Be careful.  Most liberals, and particularly obama, have little respect for the USA Constitution.  I respect it A LOT!

Sam
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!
Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.
You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks


Little Larry ... thanks Doug!



Just too smart......
Larry May Become My New Favourite!

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!
After a few seconds, Little Larry stood up. The teacher said, Do you think you're stupid, Larry?
No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!

Larry watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face.
Why do you do that, mommy? he asked.
To make myself beautiful, said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.
What's the matter, asked Larry Giving up?

The math teacher saw that Larry wasn't paying attention in class.
She called on him and said, Larry! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?
Larry quickly replied, NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!

Larry's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals.
One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.
Yes said the policeman. The detectives want very badly to capture him.
Larry asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?

Little Larry attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest.
After a few minutes, Larry asked, Dad, why are you doing that?
His father replied, Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Larry, looking worried, said, Dad, I think the Milkman wants to buy Mom ...
If this brightened your day, don't let it stop here
Pass it on with a smile


Patriotism

There are less than 11 months until election day when the people will
decide who will be the next President of the United States …
The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just
the Democrats or the Republicans. It’s that time that we all need to
come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.
In a Bi-Partisan effort for America : If you will support the
Republican nominee, please drive with your headlights ON during the
day.
If you support Barack Obama, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.
Together, we can make it happen.

Try to stay to the right and hit a tree, ... not me.  ;)
