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.

The ant and the grasshopper- New Version



THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! A MUST READ for those of us who are Red/White & Blue American's.

THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions:
The ANT
AND THE
GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different....
Two Different Versions ... Two Different Morals

OL D VERSION
The
ant works
hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The
grasshopper
thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the
ant is warm
and well fed.

The
grasshopper has
no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.



MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:


Be responsible for yourself!





MODERN
VERSION

The
ant works hard
in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The
grasshopper thinks the ant
is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering
grasshopper
calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,
and ABC show up to
provide pictures of the shivering 
grasshopper
next to a video of the ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog
appears
on
Oprah
with the grasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'
Occupy the Anthill stages
a demonstration in front of the
ant's
house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We shall overcome.

Then
Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake,
while he damns the ants.


President Obama
condems the ant
and blames
President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the
Pope

for the grasshopper's
plight..

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid

exclaim in an interview with Larry
King
that the ant has
gotten rich off the back of
the
grasshopper,
and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the
EEOC drafts
the
Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.

The
ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number
of green bugs and,
having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government  Green Czar
and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the 
grasshopper
and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house,
crumbles around them because the 
grasshopper doesn't  maintain it.

The
ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The
grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken
over
by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire
Nation collapses
bringing the rest

of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:


Be careful how you vote in 2012.



I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an
ant
not a grasshopper!

Make sure that you pass
this on to other
ants.
