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.

Happy Trails- Roy Rogers and Dale Evans

Jeanie had to have a Cat Scan this morning and I took the book Happy Trails with me to read. I began it at 9:30 this morning and finished it about 7:45 this evening. Roy and Dale were in their eighties when the book was published in 1994. They are each deceased now.

I have never been a fast reader, but I didn't have so many occasions to go back over paragraphs and I did take an hour nap and we spent a little while on our food I picked up from Wendy's.

I picked up the phone and called my good friend, Smokey Gibson. Smokey is in my "Excellence in Athletics in the Portsmouth Area" book.

Coach Gibson had fished with Roy Rogers' uncle Hono Sly in the Ohio River at Portsmouth. I shared with Smokey that I had lended the book to Bob and Sarah Lyles just before Bob's death a few years ago and his hospice nurse would read portions of it to him before he passed on.

Coach seemed glad I called. He is in his later eighties now, but sounds good. His wife, Alice, says he hasn't been really well due to a cold hanging on.

I will have more to say about the book later on,
but I will be retiring very soon now for the evening.

I have even more respect for the King of the Cowboys and his wife and their family. It is good that Roy shares membership in the unofficial Cultural Center of Our Universe.

Thanks good friend, Ron Walters!

A Pastor with GUTS!

Thought you might enjoy this interesting Prayer given in Kansas at The opening session of their Senate. It seems Prayer still upsets some People.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open The new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is




What they heard:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek your direction and Guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those Who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we Have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed Our values.

We have exploited the poor and called it The lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it Welfare..

We have killed our unborn and called it Choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it Justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our Children and called it Building self esteem....

We have abused power and called it Politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions And called it Ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and Pornography and called it Freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values Of our forefathers and called it Enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts Today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!


The response was immediate. A number of Legislators walked out during the prayer in Protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than
5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls Responding negatively. The church is now receiving International requests for copies of this prayer From India , Africa and Korea .

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on His radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and Received a larger response to this program than any Other he has ever aired.


With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep Over our nation and wholeheartedly become our Desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.'

If possible, please pass this prayer on to Your friends.... 'If you don't stand for something, You will fall for everything.'

Think about this: If you forward this Prayer to everyone on your E-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be Heard by the world.

How many people in your address book will Not receive this prayer..... Do you have the guts to pass it on?

Who am I? Thanks again, John Massey!

Try and Guess WHO I AM?

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another
country. I was not his only child . He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate .
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my
country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them..
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I
had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally
burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s..

They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.. That reinforced my conceit.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.
Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn > to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks. I drew incredibly
large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of
my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I
pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor
person would be fed & housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks
& corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and
if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of
politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant
to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known and I needed to keep them unknown, until after I
became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed,
if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.

I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And the world learned the truth.

Who am I?

I am ADOLF HITLER

WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF?

Scary isn't it?

Thanks John Massey! ... Illusions of American Liberals

The Grand Illusions of America's Liberals

By Edward Bernard Glick

American Thinker

April 20, 2010

America's liberals are consumed with guilt. If not soon purged from our society, their guilt will kill us all.

Bent on rewriting history, or else entirely ignorant of it, they deny that the United States has brought more freedom and well-being to more people most of the time than any other nation in history. They also accuse our country of racism and imperialism.

Indeed, we Americans are so racist that only five percent of the blacks forced out of Africa were shipped to British North America, and later to the United States. Less than a century after their independence, our ancestors fought a bloody civil war to end slavery.

We Americans are so racist that ours is the only white-majority nation that has tried to make amends for slavery and its aftermath by means of Constitutional amendments, congressional legislation, and executive actions. Affirmative action is an example.

We Americans are so racist that in 2008, we elected the first black president of the United States. We hailed two of President Barack Obama's predecessors when they appointed the first black to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the first black to be national security advisor, and the first black to be Secretary of State.

We Americans are so racist that there is one African-American on the Supreme Court and there are 42 African-Americans in Congress. Two Jews serve on the Supreme Court, and 45 Jews serve in Congress.

We Americans are so racist that we force foreigners to flock to our embassies and consulates and make them beg for visas. We Americans are so racist that we have allowed millions of non-whites and non-Europeans -- people from Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East -- to immigrate here and become part of the American Dream.

As for our so-called imperialism, our liberals are deluded about that, as well.

The truth is that there are imperial aspects to America's past. The United States did take land from North America's native peoples. But so did the French, the British, and the Canadians. So, too, did the Spaniards and the Portuguese in Latin America and elsewhere. So, too, did the Australians and New Zealanders in the South Seas. So, too, did the Chinese, Japanese, and Russians in Asia and Europe.

Great Britain never asked the Scots, the Welsh, and the Catholics of Northern Ireland if they wanted to become part of the kingdom. Nor did China ask the Tibetans if they wanted be absorbed into the Communist Paradise.

It is true that America, influenced by the sea-power teachings of Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, conquered the Philippine Islands and Puerto Rico in the 1898 Spanish-American War. But we granted the Filipinos independence in 1946, and we have promised statehood or independence to the Puerto Ricans whenever they decide to abandon their present commonwealth status within the American union.

It is true that President Theodore Roosevelt took advantage of a local revolt against Colombia and acquired the Panama Canal Zone in 1903. It is also true that America completed the Panama Canal in 1914. But President Jimmy Carter returned both the zone and the canal to Panama in 1977.

In 1945, President Harry Truman created the Age of the Nuclear Weapon when he ordered the Army Air Force to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus ending Japan's participation in the Second World War. For a few years, we possessed the only nuclear weapons on the planet. Yet Mr. Truman blackmailed no one. Nor did he take any land from our erstwhile enemies. All America got in the post-war period were the graves of its soldiers who died in Europe. By contrast, the Soviet Union incorporated huge swaths of Poland and Germany.

America's liberals have never learned to look at life through the prisms of contrast, comparison, and context. If they would honestly compare our country to ancient Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome, or to Ottoman Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Russia, Britain, and France, then they would have to conclude that America was and is the least imperialistic power in recorded history.

Despite President Obama's rhetoric and body language, the United States has little to be ashamed of. It has even less to apologize for. In the words of President Abraham Lincoln, who emancipated the slaves from what he called unfreedom, America is still "the last best hope of earth

Setting Boxer straight- Great re-cycle Lou!

a fine letter



This was sent to me by a close friend.



This letter was sent to me by a friend of mine who is a retired USAF General.



THIS IS WORTH READING.



Do you remember the scene? The Senate. Barbara Boxer hearing from a Brigadier General? Silly General! He addresses Barbara as "Ma'm", and she CORRECTS him, telling him she's "worked SO hard to earn the title, "Senator", so please to use that when speaking to her.



Get a load of this letter!



Read the letter sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot below.

Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on June 18, 2009 as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing..

This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry. Long fly Alaska !!!!!




Babs:

You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.



Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?


Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.



Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.



What I am writing, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."



Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.



Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"?



Have a fine day. Cheers!

Jim Hill

16808 - 103rd Avenue Court East

South Hill , WA 98374



If you care about the way our Country is heading, Please circulate this to remind every voter that the "cesspools" MUST be pumped out when we go to the polls in November, 2010.
