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.

Lou buys a computer ... Thx Ramey H!

 You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello and too old
to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this.
For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this: COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'W' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? Do you have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. At no extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on 'START.'

Tolerance- Goes both ways but no longer by the PUSA in America ... Thx RameyH!

 
Tolerance...
 
Some Canadian Sports Celebrity was quoted as saying...... "I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto . I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
 
"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque . We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, ‘The Turban Cowboy,’ and the other a topless bar called ‘You Mecca Me Hot.’ Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called ‘ Iraq o' Ribs.’ Across the street there could be a lingerie store called ‘Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret,’ with sexy mannequins in the window modeling goods.
 
"Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, ‘Koranal Knowledge,’ its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called ‘Morehammered.’
 
"All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so their mosque issue would not be a problem for others. Yes, we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on.

Muslim heritage in USA- obama's way ... Thx Sonny H!

  Don't ya wish
 we could get leaders that lead for the benefit of the PEOPLE


      







  Muslims

 
Barack Obama, during his Cairo  speech, said: "I know, too,  that Islam has always been a part of America's  history."

AN AMERICAN  CITIZEN'S RESPONSE

Dear  Mr. Obama:

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a  parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you seen Muslims, shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scouts?

Have  you seen a Muslim Candy  Striper?

Have your seen a Muslim  do anything that contributes positively to the American  way of life ????

The  answer is no, you did not. Just ask yourself WHY  ???


Were those Muslims  that were in
America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I  thought they were Native American  Indians.

Were those Muslims that  celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again,  those were Pilgrims and Native American  Indians.

Can you show me one  Muslim signature on the:
United States Constitution?  Declaration of Independence?  Bill of Rights?  Didn't think  so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from
England?  No.

Did  Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in
America? No, they did  not.  In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery.  Your own half-brother,  a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to  black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."  Says a lot of  what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?  Not  present.  There are no pictures or media accounts of  Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?  Again, not present.  In fact,  devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in  the Islamic culture So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the  Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II? They were
aligned with Adolf Hitler.  The Muslim  grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr.  Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?  If they  weren't flying planes into the
World Trade  Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East .

No  one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and  other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over  backwards to kiss in
Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone  cold silent post 9-11. To many  Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts  of that day.

And THAT, Mr.  Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in 
America ...

Oh, I'm sorry,  I forgot to mention  the
Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.

And now we can add 
November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major, is a doctor and a  psychiatrist , who was supposed to be counseling soldiers  returning from battle in Iraq   and Afghanistan .
That,  Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

P.S. Now, also adding to the
Boston Marathon bombings, too!

EVERY CANADIAN and AMERICAN MUST  READ THIS !! Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage, my ass.  And if you don't share this  message, you are part of the problem!

Shady obama ... Thanks Judi C!

Billy Sunday, William Ashley Sunday, one of America's most famous evangelists, was born in Ames, Iowa. He was hated for his strong stand against alcohol, gambling, and dancing.
Billy Sunday (1862-1935), was a professional baseball player from 1883 to 1891 for Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia teams. He was converted through the street preaching of Harry Monroe of the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. He left a $5,000 a year salary as a baseball player for $84 a month in a ministry position with the previously evangelistic YMCA. From 1893 to 1895 was associated with J. Wilbur Chapman. He was an evangelist from 1893 to 1935. It is estimated that over 300,000 people walked the "sawdust trail" to receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. (Adapted from "The Wycliffe Biographical Dictionary of the Church," page 387, Elgin S. Moyer, 1982, ©Moody Press, Chicago, IL).
