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.

Secular progressives vs America and especially us "Old Geezers" ... Thx Paul C!


:






The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.
They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.
In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.
We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam . We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner , America , and America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.
It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."
You youngsters have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.
This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2014 we're going to the polls by the millions.
This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Eric Holder. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade."
Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county. You and I are Members, Don't Delete, Just Read and Pass on.

ISIS targetting Christians 'for extinction' ... Thx Newsmax!

Rep. Wolf: ISIS Targeting Christians 'for Extinction'
Republican Congressman Frank Wolf gave a passionate speech on the House floor on Tuesday accusing the militant jihadist group ISIS of genocide for "systematically targeting Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq for extinction."
"I believe that what is happening to the Christian community in Iraq is genocide,” said the Virginia legislator, who is leaving office in January after 34 years in Congress. “I also believe it is a 'crime against humanity.'"
ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has already seized control of vast areas of the two war-torn nations. It issued a decree that Christians had to convert to Islam, pay a tax, or be killed.
"Last Thursday [July 17], the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria gave the few remaining Christians in Mosul until Saturday to leave or be killed," Wolf said.
"On June 16, for the first time in 1,600 years, there was no Mass said in Mosul."
Before the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, about 130,000 Christians lived in Mosul, but only a handful remain there now, according to CNS News.
Wolf quoted from a letter sent to the president in June, signed by 55 members of Congress, urging Obama to "prioritize additional security support for especially vulnerable populations, notably Iraq's ancient Christian community."
The letter referred to a BBC article describing "summary execution, beheadings, and even crucifixions" by ISIS, which now calls itself simply the Islamic State.
Wolf told his House colleagues: "Absent immediate action, we will most certainly witness the annihilation of an ancient faith community from the lands they've inhabited for centuries.
"Where is the Obama administration?"
Iraq's ambassador to the United States is also urging the administration to intervene, calling for air strikes to "protect Iraqi borders against the further influx of terrorists from Syria."
Ambassador Lukman Faily pointed to the Muslim extremists targeting Christians, and called for strikes against terrorist camps and supply convoys.

Organzation to oppose terrorists killing Christians ... Is it anywhere?

Islamic Terrorists killing Christians all over this world ...

Our wimpy president and congress are currently doing nothing to protect our Christians serving all over this globe.  Unlike o says, this is still a Christian nation and the terrorists should respect our strength and resolve, as a country.

What organization is rising to the occasion?  I want to join that organization.  Is it within the Tea Party?

Wisconsin ... Not for media worldwide ... Thx Pidge F!

This picture and the accompanying information says it all.  A great big "BOOOOOOOO" to the news media that never do their job of informing the public.  Please pass this on to as many persons as you can.
Wisconsin.
Ain't he a bright light!!!!!

When Obama stopped in at Master Lock in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week, he was walking the plant and stopped to talk with a plant employee and looked up at the banner hanging on the wall and said to the worker and people around him, "It is great to be in a union shop, especially one as old as this union is " - - -  pointing to the banner.He then said, "A Union shop since 1848" - - - and then he went on to talk on what that banner stood for and how important it was to display it and show your union support. The worker then said to Obama that it was the flag of the State of Wisconsin - - which was founded in 1848, and that the shop was Non-Union.
This was only reported by a local radio station in Milwaukee (1130AM) and not by the major news networks. They didn't want to embarrass this "got no friggin' clue "President"Since they didn't do their job of reporting on this presidential visit, the only way for the news to get around is by us - on the Internet. The White House media said he skipped Wisconsin & just went to Minn & Chicago.

Absoluteluy fascinating! ... Thx Pidge F!

Hi Sam,  love the emails and this poem is wonderful.  Did you write it?  All is ok here.  We are still having tree trunks removed from our complex from that mini tornado we had touch down on June 19,2013 in our area and complex. We lost 27 oak trees, 17 cars were smashed and totaled.  I was lucky, my car was ok and I didn't have any problems with the windows either.  It was a real mess and the Belle View area and us looked like a war zone.  I have lived here now 46 years and have never seen anything like this storm/tornado.  Just never know what this changeable weather will be bringing this Fall and Winter.

I have been wondering how you and Jeannie are doing?  Hard to believe we are all aging gracefully.  I don't hear much from Ken anymore; guess he is pretty busy with his house, making saurkraut, doing woodwork, skiing, and all the other sports he does.  Ken will be 68 this coming Sept 19th and I will be 73 on
sept 23rd.  If I remember correctly, he retired back in Sept 2009 and returned to Lockport, NY.  Time certainly has gone by fast  and we just get on with our lives.   I have thought about relocating to Winchester,VA or back to Pittsburgh, PA, but decided to stay put as I know this area very well and it is so convenient to the stores, churches, etc.  I am still in my exercise classes Monday and Wednesday mornings at the senior center that is 3 miles from me
and still volunteering at the Mount Vernon Hospital, our local hospital about 3.7 miles from here.  Can't believe I have been volunteering there for 14 years already.  I stay busy with helping people around our complex, and taking care of myself.  Thus far, I am pretty healthy and no serious problems as yet.
But "arthur" has finally approached in my right thumb and I got some kind of volteran gel 1% to put on that and it does relieve the pain.  Have had a lot
of close friends pass away since March 25th and even tho many are older than me, I still miss them a lot.  I am now working on revising my Trust and Will
and hope to get this completed before the 10th of August.  Always something.  Then I am still writing resumes for some people in my building who
are government employees looking for a promotion.  So that brings in a little few bucks too.  Keeps the mind in ship shape too.
  Well, keep me posted on how you and Jeannie are doing.  Signing off for now. Fondly, Marge

Yesterday Poem by Sam Kegley 7/24/14

Yesterday



Shall we work or shall we play
Much depends on yesterday

Should events just fade away
or keep returnming along our way

Give us back December 7, 41
Be as if we've just begun

Hitler would expand due to our isolation
What kind of fortress would then be our nation

For the early morning of 9-11
Skipping that event would keep us in Heaven

People would still read about and admire us

But admiration always slips away

Wake this sleeping giant though
Can we make the enemies regret their yesterdays

Will GI's fight and fall with wounds
Because they felt the hurts of yesterdays

Our surrogate fighters have volunteered
and served so well

How would needed draftees fare
In the face of future battles hell

We pray for God to bless us again although
We have slipped as a nation of Christians

It won't be Noah's boat to save some species
Nor David's bow to bring down creepies

But a return to prayer won't hurt one bit
Throughout this world who've seemed to quit

As we search out a better way
To keep from dreading yesterday

Yes, Marge, I wrote the "Yesterday" poem the morning  I sent it.  I
began writing for our elementary school paper , wrote many technical
reports as a metallurgical engineer in my  variety of functions as a
supervisor, Division Metallurgist, Sales Engineer, and at DSCC.  I
started their metallurgy laboratory, with your help in getting over a
million dollars of surplus equipment from other government entities at
a relative pittance, some with your help in your GSA position.  It
actually saved the government money, as the many reverse engineering
projects Ken and I and others performed in DSCC's award winning Value
Analysis Department.  They won the best VA Department perennially
within DOD.  It probably came to be despised by our
military-industrial complex in America.

My last book was in 2013 which was my third "Acquaintances With
Integrity" book and my tenth overall.  My home town of Portsmouth,
Ohio helped me to break even in the costs of the books.
Self-published authors have a difficult time turning a profit.

Jeanie and I have Columbus' best estate/tag sale specialist coming at
1:30 today.  We are readying to move into a one floor condo nearby.
We have lived in our split-level for forty-seven years and now she
will soon turn 84 and I 82.  We each have had falls recently and we
are scared of the eight steps from our bedroom down to our living room
and kitchen.  We are pre-approved for a VA loan on the purchase of a
condo.

So many of our friends qualify for interviews as acquaintances with
integrity, particularly you and Ken.  Americans of our generation saw
many wars and horrible events.  I believe the wrath of our God is
rising.  He is love, but will not tolerate our collective disrespect
by our actions.  Christians and other infidels are being slaughtered
all over this world, and we at home are doing little about it.  The
country is strictly without leadership at this time.

Well, back to my morning paper and church later, before being visited
by Holly, for the pre-sales meeting.

Good to know you are well and fighting the good fight!  God has blessed us all.

Sam
