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.

What's a Billion Dollars ... Thx Paul C!


This can't POSSIBLY be TRUE, can it ???

This is too true to be funny.


The next time you hear a politician use the
Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.



A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases.



A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.



B
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.



C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.



D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.



E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.



While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ...
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.



Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
was asking Congress for

250 
BILLION DOLLARS
To 
rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
What does it mean?



A
Well ... If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans 
(every man, woman and child)
You each get
 $516,528


B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets 
$1,329,787.


C.
Or... If you are a family of four...
Your family gets
 $2,066,012.


Washington , D.C

HELLO!
I wonder how much of that money actually got to the people?

Are all your calculators broken??

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?


Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...
And our nation was the most prosperous in the world.



We had absolutely no national debt...
We had the largest middle class in the world...
And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.



What happened?
Can you spell
'politicians'!


And I still have to
Press '1'
For English.



I hope this goes around 
the
U
SA
At
 least 100 times


What the hell has happened?
