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.

Locked out of the cockpit ... Thx Pidge F! This is really so analogous to the average citizen of the USA


  LOCKED OUT OF THE COCKPIT 
  

A
  
  
You might find this to be an interesting analogy…


We are all "flying on the Germanwings plane", with a twisted pilot at the 
controls.  Will we just wait, and assume the "Crash Position"? 

The 'real' pilot was locked out of the cockpit.  . 

Lubitz, in his single-minded madness, couldn't be stopped because anyone who could change the jet's disastrous course was "locked out".  

It's hard to imagine the growing feelings of fear and helplessness that the 
passengers felt as the unforgiving landscape rushed up to meet them. 

Hard ... but not impossible. 

Because America is in trouble.  We feel the descent in the pits of our stomachs. 
We hear the shake and rattle of structures stressed beyond their limits. We 
don't know where we're going anymore, but do know it isn't good. And above all, we feel helpless because Barack Obama has locked us out. 

He locked the American people out of his decision to seize the national 
healthcare system.  Locked us out when we wanted to know why the IRS was attacking conservatives.  He locked us out of having a say in his decision to tear up our immigration laws, and to give over a trillion dollars in benefits to 
those who broke those laws. 

Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop withdrawals.  Locked out the intelligence agencies who issued warnings about the growing threat of ISIS.  He locked out anyone who could have interfered with his release of five Taliban terror chiefs in return for one U.S. military deserter. 

And, of course, Barack Obama has now locked out Congress, the American people, and our allies as he strikes a secret deal with Iran to determine the timeline (not prevention) of their acquisition of nuclear weapons. 

Was Andreas Lubitz depressed, insane, or abysmally evil when he decided to lock that cockpit door and listen to no voices other than those in his head?  Did he somehow believe himself to be doing the right thing? 

The voice recordings from the doomed aircraft reveal that as the jet began its 
rapid descent, the passengers were quiet.  There was probably some nervous laughter, confusion, a bit of comforting chatter with seatmates, followed by a brief period in which anxiety had not yet metastasized into terror. 

It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began to scream.  

Like those passengers, a growing number of Americans feel a helpless dread as they come to the inescapable conclusion that our nation's decline is an act of choice rather than of chance. The choice of one man who is in full control of our 8-year plunge. 

Lubitz was a nutcase.  But now we are on a 'plane' piloted by a narcissistic 
megalomaniac who has locked everyone out of his cockpit.

Words we used to use ... Thx Paul C!



 


WORDS AND PHRASES REMIND US OF THE WAY WE WORD
By Richard Lederer
 
About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become
Obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases
Included "Don’t touch that dial," "Carbon copy," "You sound like a
Broken record" and "Hung out to dry." A bevy of readers have asked me to
Shine light on more faded words and expressions, and I am happy to
Oblige:
 
Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We’d put on our best bib
And tucker and straighten up and fly right. Hubba-hubba! We’d cut a rug
In some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and
Spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hot rods and
Jalopies in some passion pit or lovers’ lane. Heavens to Betsy! Gee
Whillikers! Jumpin’ Jehoshaphat! Holy moley! We were in like Flynn and
Living the life of Riley, and even a regular guy couldn’t accuse us of
Being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. Not for all the tea in
China !
 
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when’s the last time
Anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the
D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and pedal
Pushers. Oh, my aching back. Kilroy was here, but he isn’t anymore.
 
Like Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle and Kurt Vonnegut’s Billy
Pilgrim, we have become unstuck in time. We wake up from what surely has
Been just a short nap, and before we can say, “I’ll be a monkey’s
  Uncle!” or “This is a fine kettle of fish!” we discover that the words
We grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent as oxygen, have
Vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our
Keyboards.
 
Poof, poof, poof go the words of our youth, the words we’ve left behind.
We blink, and they’re gone, evanesced from the landscape and wordscape
Of our perception, like Mickey Mouse wristwatches, hula hoops, skate
Keys, candy cigarettes, little wax bottles of colored sugar water and an
Organ grinder’s monkey.
 
Where have all those phrases gone? Long time passing. Where have all
Those phrases gone? Long time ago: Pshaw. The milkman did it. Think
About the starving Armenians. Bigger than a bread box. Banned in Boston
. The very idea! It’s your nickel. Don’t forget to pull the chain. Knee
High to a grasshopper. Turn-of-the-century. Iron curtain. Domino theory.
Fail safe. Civil defense. Fiddlesticks! You look like the wreck of the
Hesperus. Cooties. Going like sixty. I’ll see you in the funny papers.
Don’t take any wooden nickels. Heavens to Murgatroyd! And awa-a-ay we
Go!
 
Oh, my stars and garters! It turns out there are more of these lost
Words and expressions than Carter had liver pills.
 
This can be disturbing stuff, this winking out of the words of our
Youth, these words that lodge in our heart’s deep core. But just as one
Never steps into the same river twice, one cannot step into the same
Language twice. Even as one enters, words are swept downstream into the
Past, forever making a different river.
 
We of a certain age have been blessed to live in changeful times. For a
Child each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age. We at
The other end of the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering
There are words that once did not exist and there were words that once
Strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more,
Except in our collective memory. It’s one of the greatest advantages of
Aging. We can have archaic and eat it, too.
 
See ‘ya later, alligator!
 
 

Dhimmitude ... in obamacare ... How sneaky! ... Thx Paul C!

 
 
 
 
 

                             
 
 
Dhimmitude

The
word " Dhimmitude" is found in the new health
care bill; so what does it mean?
Thought
this was interesting and worth passing
on.
Obama used it in the health care
bill.
Now isn't this interesting?
It is
also included in the health care
law.
Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the
word until now. I typed it into Google and
started reading. Pretty interesting. It's on
page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this
up on Google and yep, it exists. It is a REAL
word.
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of
controlling non-Muslim populations conquered
through jihad (Holy War). Specifically, it is
the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for
tolerating their presence AND as a coercive
means of converting conquered remnants to
Islam.
ObamaCare allows the establishment
of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the
United States
.
Muslims
are specifically exempted from the government

mandate to purchase insurance, and also from
the penalty
tax for being uninsured. Islam
considers insurance to be
"gambling",
"risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned.

Muslims are specifically granted exemption
based on
this.
How
convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have
crippling IRS liens placed against all of my
assets, including real estate, cattle, and even
accounts receivable, and will face hard prison
time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay
the penalty
tax.
Meanwhile,
Louis Farrakhan (the Muslim) will have no such
penalty and will have 100% of his health
insurance needs paid for by the de facto
government insurance.
 Non-Muslims
will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This
is Dhimmitude .

I
recommend sending this on to your
contacts.
All American citizens need to know
about it !!

this going. Every non-Muslim in the United
