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.

Paul Ryan- Big Government racism

Paul Ryan: Poverty comments were ‘inarticulate’

Rep. Paul Ryan on Thursday called remarks he made the day before “inarticulate,” responding to a firestorm from the left that accused him of racially insensitive comments.
“After reading the transcript of yesterday morning’s interview, it is clear that I was inarticulate about the point I was trying to make,” Ryan said in a statement emailed to reporters.

“We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work, and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with,” he said, urging everyone to get involved in blighted communities even if they live in the suburbs.
The comment was quickly picked up by the left, with Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), a co-chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus’s Poverty and Economy Task Force, issuing a statement slamming Ryan’s “offensive” remarks.
“My colleague Congressman Ryan’s comments about ‘inner city’ poverty are a thinly veiled racial attack and cannot be tolerated. Let’s be clear, when Mr. Ryan says ‘inner city’ when he says, ‘culture,’ these are simply code words for what he really means: ‘black,’” Lee said.
Ryan called Lee on Wednesday to explain his comments, his office said, and on Thursday issued his statement clarifying what he intended to say.
(WATCH: Ryan: No 'civil war' in GOP)
“I was not implicating the culture of one community — but of society as a whole,” he said. “We have allowed our society to isolate or quarantine the poor rather than integrate people into our communities. The predictable result has been multi-generational poverty and little opportunity. … The broader point I was trying to make is that we cannot settle for this status quo and that government and families have to do more and rethink our approach to fighting poverty.”
The former vice presidential candidate and rumored 2016 hopeful has been focusing on anti-poverty policies in recent weeks. The House Budget Committee he chairs released a more-than 200 page report last week on “The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later.”

There is no need for apology to Boxer and Franken, etc.  The inner cities have both white and black.  I f our huge government subsidies simply encourage them not to work and we will give you money.  Guess what!  They won't work and they will still take our money from the government's big supposedly inexjhaustible taxc x pool they take from the ones who have worked all of their lives.  SamKat

A short poem you should not forget ... Thx Lyle S!


A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET
 
 
"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement?  I don't know the author of this poem.. Received it today.  Very thought provoking and poignant.  I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road."  Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair. 
The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).
THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI  
We're the battling boys of Benghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well.
 
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.
 
Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.
 
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road".


So will this reach every American with a computer?  Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?  The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement, "What difference does it make?" 
 
Hillary in 2016?  NOT!!
 

American Airline Pilot addesses American Muslims and asks that they speak up ... Thx Paul C!

Subject: Fwd: American Airlines Pilot Speaks His Mind
 
 
 




Interesting view point! From our point of view it says it all. Good read.
                                                                                                                                              
CANADIAN, Australian, United Kingdom COMMENTS APPEAR  AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE AND ARE MEANINGFUL.  
  
This pilot hit the nail right on the head in his open  letter.             
A  newspaper stated that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been  checked three times while getting on an airplane. The following is a letter from a  pilot. This well spoken man, who is a pilot with  American Airlines, says what is in all of our hearts, beautifully.

  

YOU WORRY ME!

By Captain John  Maniscalco, American Airlines Pilot 

I've been trying to  say this since 911, but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of  this country that I love, that your color and  culture still blended with the beautiful human  landscape we enjoy in this country. But you  don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it  worries me.
 
I notice you because I can't  help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking  and killing my fellow citizens and our friends  for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their  attacks.
 
On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS  hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut  the throats of women in front of children and  brutally stabbed to death others. They took  control of those planes and crashed them into  buildings, killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's  mothers.

The Palestinians  celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be  consumed by the same rage, hate and prejudice  that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists.  But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to  tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
 
How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim  Americans and the Arab/Muslim terrorists in our  communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR  communities under the protection of OUR  constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter MORE of the same good neighbors and children?
 
The events of  September 11 changed the answer.. It is not MY  responsibility to determine which of you  embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.
 
I want to know, I DEMAND  to know and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America ... Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do  you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation; that He will protect it and let it prosper? Or do you pray that Allah  with destroy it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying  the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America ?  If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.
 
Your  Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding  the media at this time with hard facts on your  faith, and what hard actions YOU are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America. Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent, because I worry about who you regard as innocent.... No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks, because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more sympathy; I am interested only in action. What will you do for America - our great country - at this time of  crisis, at this time of war?
 
I want to  see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting 'Allah  Bless America '.  I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a  commitment of money, time and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.
 
The FBI has a list of over 400  people they want to talk to regarding the WTC  attack. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities. You know them.  You know where they are. Hand them over to us,  NOW!  But I have seen little even approaching  this sort of action.  Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared from the  streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals.
 
The very few Arab/Muslim  representatives that HAVE appeared in the media  were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United  States proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence  directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing 'leaders' like Khadafi, Hussein,  Farrakhan, and Arafat.
 
IF the true  teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people, then I want chapter and  verse from the Koran and statements from popular  Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if  the teachings in the Koran are good, pure, and  true, when your 'leaders' ARE teaching fanatical  interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance? It  matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge  numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the  teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to  a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again.  A form whose structure is built upon a  foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are recruited from the  prisons around the world. A form whose members  (some as young as five years old) are seen day  after day, week in and week out, year after  year, marching in the streets around the world,  burning effigies of our presidents, burning the  American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A  form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their  birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.
 
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that  matter, to take away that which is so precious  to us -- our rights under the greatest  constitution in the world. I want to know where  every Arab Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to DEMAND it. A right  paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is protecting you and your family.


I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my brother,  my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow  American...... But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance, and it is up to YOU, to  show ME, where YOU stand. Until then, "YOU  WORRY ME!"

CANADIAN  COMMENTS:

I  totally agree with this sentiment. I hope you  will forget all about the 'political  correctness' mandate we've had rammed down our  throats, and see if this doesn't ring true in  your heart and mind. For Canada , with all the  multiculturalism we've been told is so important....why should we not, as Canadians,  expect that the millions of new people immigrating to our country will show their love for our country, their allegiance to our country, their willingness to obey the laws of  our country, and acceptance that we are a Christian country? Just because they are able to  enjoy exercising their own religion, they should NOT expect us to be ashamed of ours. They knew  Canada was a Christian country when they came  here. Why are we erasing Christianity because  immigrants who are unwilling to adopt our way of  life expect us to? There is just too much  insanity in the world, and we have to start  taking a stand.  I hope you will  forward this, so that others will feel they are  not alone if they are starting to feel the  same.



BRITISH  COMMENTS: At last a clear non racist example of the concerns that the vast majority of our Nations  population probably share. The pilot's letter  encapsulates all that is fair and just about  national pride and protection of one's national  culture. I fear it may be too late here in UK ,  BUT we too want our country back in the form  that attracted all these different cultures to  come here in the first place!! In all our  conversations with a wide range of friends and  acquaintances we have not met one that  disagrees with our own views. If only we all had  the courage of our convictions to pass this on, it is a statement that should be accepted as the  heart-felt feelings of someone with honest  commendable national pride.
 
 
Australian Comment:  Best email I have had in years it needs to be in every paper every day until we get some answers.



THIS IS TOO GOOD TO JUST  READ AND DELETE -- LET'S SATURATE NEW ZEALAND ,  AUSTRALIA , UK , EUROPE, USA , CANADA AND THE  REST OF THE FREE WORLD!  Do your part and pass it on.
