The USA is in deep doodoo and little o wants to take us further into it.
I believe that Bret Baer's "Special Edition" at six each evening, particularly with Charles Krauthammer commenting is the closest thing to right the country has today. Of course Bill O'Reiley's 'No Spin Zone' is another favorite of mine.
But face it. obama will never face up to his cowardice in the Benghazi desertion of our ambassador and others there. He won't take responsibility for anything except that he must admit, but probably won't, to adding about 17 million to the food stamps roles in the USA. And didn't they vote for him?
Sequestration was his idea, but he thinks he has very cleverly turned it against the republicans in the national media. How could anybody think that while having a democrat controlled Senate who hasn't passed a budget since o has been in office, and has helped o add to the nearly seventeen trillion dollar national debt?
Demos and repubs all have served themselves too long. The Tea Party must rise again and vote'emallout! Impeach little o, our traitorus and cowardly pusa!
Just my thoughts!

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.

The 'Y' Chromosome Thanks Lyle S and Liz M!
Subject: THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME
THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME
People born before 1946 are called - The Greatest Generation.
People born between 1946 and 1964 are called -The Baby Boomers.
People born between 1965 and 1979 are called - Generation X.
And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called - Generation Y.Why do we call the last group -Generation Y ?Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?Y should I do anything when I can get it all for FREE?
But perhaps a cartoonist explained it most eloquently below...
Just thought you might want to know "Y" we ended up with OBAMA for four more years!!!!
Lt. Col Oliver North salutes our fighting people Thanks Ramey!
I was 20 1/2 after my USArmy basic training in Ft Leonard Wood, MO,
Ramey in 1954. I went on to Engineering Supply School at Fort Belvoir
and then was shipped to the Far East (Korea I thought) . After a week,
My orders came through to Sasebo, Japan, the port of debarkation for
Korea, that I would be in the 29th Engineers topographic Batallion in
Tokyo. I guess the North Koreans found out that I was near and they
didn't want to fight me ;). I neither saw action nor was I a hero; but I
know I missed my beautiful wife back in New Boston, OH. These young
men have a much greater chance of not seeing home or family again or
they might return to be a "wounded warrior" without all the things they
left home with.
God has blessed America with our fighting people but not with the current president of our great country. I fully believe that obama is of the devil and does not represent our country as well as the fighting people have throughout our historyskegley.blogspot.com.

THIS IS THE BEST....!
Hoo-Rah!....A must See Video ... Ending is fabulous!I am now passing this on for you to watch.Its not enjoyable, it is riveting!When you are done pass it on too, I think its important...If you are a vet, I say, Welcome home brother.Just click on the line below and have your speaker on!
Who died before receiving their SS Thanks Dr.H!
WHO DIED BEFORE
THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!
KEEP
PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT...
THIS IS
SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!
THE ONLY
THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS
THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A
SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!
WHERE DID
THAT MONEY GO?
Remember, not only did you and I
contribute to Social Security but your employer did, too.
It totaled 15% of your income
before taxes.
If you averaged only $30K over
your working life, that's close to $220,500.
Read that again.
Did you see where the Government
paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money
you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and I that we
would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.
Now they are calling the money we
put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back.
If you calculate the future invested
value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple
5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows),
after 49 years of working you'd
have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year,
you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until
you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that
final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity and it
paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
Another thing with me.... I have
two deceased husbands who died in their 50's, (one was 51 and the other one was
59 before one percent of their social security could be drawn.
I worked all my life and am
drawing 100% on my own social security).
Their S.S. money will never have
one cent drawn from what they paid into S.S. all their lives.
THE
FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF
EVER DID.
Entitlement my foot, I paid cash
for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money for
other government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity
or handout!! Remember
Congressional benefits? --- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67
paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days. Now that's
welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments
entitlements? We're "broke" and we can't help our own Seniors,
Veterans, Orphans, or Homeless. Yet in the last few months we have provided aid
to Russia, Haiti, Chile and Turkey. And now Pakistan......former home of bin
Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! And they can't help our own citizens
in New York and New Jersey!
They call Social Security and
Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our
working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is
running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.
Sad
isn't it.
99% of
people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm in
the 1% --
I just
did.
Disappearing animals ... Very good, Mr. L!
Can you spot the 'invisible animal'? Incredible images show nature's disappearing act when predators are near

Eagle story- Freedom- Thanks Marge R!
Spirit of the life force
Not many people get a picture of this proud birdsnuggled up next to them!Freedom and JeffFreedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,it was broken in 4 places.She's my baby.When Freedom came in she could not standand both wings were broken. She wasemaciated and covered in lice. We made thedecision to give her a chance at life, so I tookher to the vet's office. From thenon, I was always around her. We had her in ahuge dog carrier with the top off, and itwas loaded up with shredded newspaper for her tolay in. I used to sit and talk to her,urging her to live, to fight; and she would laythere looking at me with those big brown eyes.We also had to tube feed her for weeks.This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she stillcouldn't stand. It got to the point where thedecision was made to euthanize herif she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don'twant to cross that line between torture andrehab, and it looked like death waswinning. She was going to be putdown that Friday, and I was supposed to come inon that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to goto the center that Thursday, because I couldn'tbear the thought of her being euthanized;but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyonewas grinning from ear to ear. I wentimmediately back to her cage; and there she was,standing on her own, a big beautifuleagle. She was ready to live. I wasjust about in tears by then. Thatwas a very good day.We knew she could never fly, so the directorasked me to glove train her.I got her used to the glove,and then to jesses, and we starteddoing education programs for schoolsin western Washington .We wound up in the newspapers,radio (believe it or not) and someTV. Miracle Pets even did a showabout us.In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed withnon-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3,which is not good (one major organ pluseverywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months ofchemo. Lost the hair - the wholebit. I missed a lot of work. When Ifelt good enough, I would go to Sarveyand take Freedom out for walks. Freedom wouldalso come to me in my dreams and help me fightthe cancer. This happened time and time again.Fast forward to November 2000the day after Thanksgiving,I went in for my last checkup.I was told that if the cancer was notall gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my lastoption was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, theydid the tests; and I had to come back Monday forthe results. I went in Monday, and I wastold that all the cancer was gone.So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey andtake the big girl out for a walk. It was mistyand cold. I went to her flight and jessed herup, and we went out front to the top of thehill. I hadn't said a word toFreedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at meand wrapped bothher wings around me to where Icould feel them pressing in on my back(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and shetouched my nose with her beak and stared into myeyes, and we just stood there like thatfor I don't know how long . That was amagic moment. We have been soul mates eversince she came in. This is a very special bird.On a side note: I have had people whowere sick come up to us when we are out, andFreedom has some kind of hold onthem. I once had a guy who wasterminal come up to us andI let him hold her.His knees just about buckled and heswore he could feel her power course through hisbody. I have so many stories like that..I never forget the honor I have of being so closeto such a magnificent spirit asFreedom.Hope you enjoyed this!A SMALL REQUEST...93% won't forward, but I'm Sure You Will.A small request.....Just one lineAll you are asked to do is keep this circulating.Even if it's only to one more person.In memory of anyone you know who has beenstruck down by cancer or is still living with itOr just someone who enjoys a GREAT STORY
