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.

Czech Prager Zeitungon Article ... Thanks Rick B.!

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon .

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

Subject: Response to Jim's High Notes artice

“Serendipity
Serendipity is defined as “the occurrence and development of events by chance.” When I read Jim Kegley’s “High Notes” column in the April 27, 2012 edition of the Scioto Voice newspaper concerning his friendship with Howard “Skip” Brehmer and Richard “Dick” Hansgen growing up on McConnell Avenue in Portsmouth, the word “serendipity” immediately came to my mind. How in the world did three PHS lads who graduated from high school in the 1950s come to be teachers at a junior high school in the affluent Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington?
Skip Brehmer graduated from PHS in 1953, attended Ohio State, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education in June of 1957. He was hired as a social studies teacher in the Upper Arlington Schools, starting in the fall of 1957. I graduated from PHS in 1955, went to OSU, and graduated with a bachelor’s in education in June of 1959. I was hired as an English teacher in the Upper Arlington Schools, beginning in the fall of 1959. It was a pleasure to have a fellow PHS grad teaching with me at the junior high school. Skip had always been a fun-loving fellow. One particular memory of him comes back. In those days the UA Superintendent of Schools had his office in our junior high building—right at the front entrance. He made it a habit to stand inside the front door to monitor students and teachers who were not on time for school. Skip sometimes was late to class. To circumvent being caught by the Superintendent, often he would climb the fire escape in the back of the building to the second floor to get to his history class. His daring feats were a legend among our faculty. Skip stayed in education until June of 1961 when he left to sell insurance. He had a very successful career in finance and investments. He retired as senior vice president of Cardinal Industries. Unfortunately, he died, by his own hand, at the age of 64 in 1999.
Dick Hansgen graduated with me from PHS in 1955. He attended OSU and got his bachelor’s degree in education in March of 1961. He was hired as a science teacher at the Upper Arlington junior high for the 1961-1962 school year. Dick and I taught together for three years until he left at the end of the 1963-1964 school year to go to Wayland Academy, a private, coeducational college prep boarding school in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. In 1978 he received his Ph.D. from Ohio State and is now retired from Bluffton University in Bluffton, Ohio, as an emeritus professor of education. He lives with his wife, Karen, in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
I retain many pleasant memories of teaching in UA with my PHS classmates. I stayed at UA for my entire education career: nine years at the junior high school teaching English and 27 years at Upper Arlington High School as a school counselor and director of guidance. I retired in 1995 and now live with my wife, Carolyn (PHS ‘58), in Hilliard, Ohio.

Just for a laugh ... thanks doug B.!


Old Timer's Sex
This is too funny to be dirty - enjoy!
The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'
'Yes', she says, 'I remember it well.'
'OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'
'Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, 'I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble.' So he follows them.
The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.
The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers.
As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering the old couple struggles to their feet and puts their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, 'this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.'
So, as the couple passes, he says to them, 'Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'
Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, 'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence.’

Congressman Allan West-CAIR

When I watched this it had had only about 69,000 viewers. It needs to have about

69,000,000. Feel free to pass it on to all.

Did the executive director of CAIR ever pick on the wrong person? Check this out. Congressman West is highly educated and certainly knew how to respond to this Muslim’s questions. My guess is the CAIR director is sorry he ever opened his mouth to this Congressman. I just wish we had more politicians with the balls West has. Too many of our politicians are cowards when it comes to dealing with Islam. They are great at voting themselves more money and perks but hide behind their desks when it comes to Islam.
The Players
Nezar Hamze is the Executive Director of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).
Allan West is a Congressman from South Florida. Mr. Hamze waded into this discussion with Congressman West in attack mode with typical Muslim misinformed bravado.
I doubt if there is any other career politician who has the background and guts that could have handled Nezar's attack any better. You can just see it. N. Hamze thought he would be dealing with a another typical American pantywaist politician who panders to anyone and any cause to get a votes.
He made one little mistake. He kicked the tar baby in the thicket while walking into the perfect ambush and was unable to withdraw. Check it out.
