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.

Ask for a USA Customer rep ... Thx Blaine B!

I'm not advocating any "stance" by sending this along. But I have ran into the problem of not being able to understand the phone answerers.
Wonder about the companies that pay for this "service' but who seem to have no concept of the final quality of the service.

Those are the first ones that need to be replaced. Unless of course you think that quality of products or services is no longer a viable concept?
Subject: Fwd: 
 
 Dialing 800 Numbers
 
I thought this was a great idea and so I'm sending this along. If
you think it's a good idea too, please pass it along to your
friends. If our government can't figure out how to create jobs
here; well then it's time to show them how it's done. Bring jobs
back to the USA.!
 
USA - PLEASE DO NOT DELETE BEFORE READING !
 
The gas company serving my area brought their call center back to Phoenix from India last year after numerous customer complaints. What a difference now when you call them...and it created 300 jobs. I know this works because they were so bad that when India answered I wouldn't even deal with them. I'd simply ask to be transferred to a rep. in the U.S. and they would comply.
 
Now that I know it is the LAW - I will do it for sure.
 
Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking,
Verizon, health and other insurance, computer help desk, etc.) and
you find that you're talking to a foreign customer service
representative (perhaps in India, Philippines, etc), please
consider doing the following.
 
After you connect and you realize that the customer service
representative is not from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent),
please, very politely, say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United States".
 
The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA."
 
YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A REP IN THE USA. That's the
rule and the LAW.
 
It takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to the USA .
 
Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from Fort Lauderdale.
 

Imagine what would happen if every US citizen insisted on talking to only US phone reps from this day forward? Imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of US jobs that would need to be created.
 
If I tell 10 people to consider doing this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I mean... it becomes an exercise in Viral Marketing 101!
 
Remember: The goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. You may even get correct answers, good advice, and solutions to your problems.

Why carry a gun ... Thx Jack H and Sarah R!

Why Grandpa carries a gun
  
·  The quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun.
·   Please take time to read this and pay particular attention  to "A Little Gun History" about half way down –  staggering numbers!
  
Why Carry a Gun?

My old Grandpa said to me, 'Son, there comes a time in   every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts   bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to   take a whoopin'.'
  
I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep   from being killed.
  
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because  I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.
  
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
  
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
  
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I   carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
   
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves   and the ones they love.
  
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and
facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
  
I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because   I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
  
Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must   protect themselves because police do not protect you   from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
    
  
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
  
 PLEASE DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT  THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO !!!!!!
·             In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control:

-----------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
  
·  Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control
laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
  
With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.
  
During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
    
·  Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in  the World!
  
·   If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun  control message to all of your friends.
  
·   The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible  victory in defense.
  
· The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than
either.
  
  
·    SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD!  SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE.
  
·  SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
  
·  IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT   WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN  EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
·  I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If
you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.
