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.

Compensations - Rush has this right! ... Thx Paul C!
Subject: IF YOU READ AND FORWARD ONLY 1 E-MAIL, MAKE IT THIS ONE

Nailed This One~
Love him
or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the
head..........
By Rush
Limbaugh:
I think
the vast differences in compensation between victims of
the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our
country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking
about it either, because you just don't criticize anything
having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the
numbers pass by
because it says something really
disturbing about the entitlement mentality of
this
country. If you lost a family member in the September 11
attack, you're
going to get an average of $1,185,000.
The range is a minimum guarantee of
$250,000, all the
way up to $4.7 million..
If you are a surviving family
member of an American soldier killed in action,
the
first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half
of which is taxable.
Next,
you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving
spouse, you get
$833 a month until you remarry. And
there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under
18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to
a
screeching halt.
Keep
in mind that some of the people who are getting an average
of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million
are complaining
that it's not
enough. Their deaths
were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
Soldiers put themselves in
harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know
the dangers.. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by
politicians and
commanding
officers.)
We
also learned over the weekend that some of the victims
from the Oklahoma City bombing have
started an
organization asking for the same deal that the September
11 families
are getting. In addition to that, some of
the families of those bombed in the
embassies are now
asking for compensation as
well.
You
see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part
and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in
this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise
comes up for the military, they usually receive next
to
nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in
combat in the Middle East while their families have to
survive on food stamps and live in low-rent
housing. Make
sense?
However,
our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you
don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time
to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month.
And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do
not receive Social Security on retirement because they
didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the
military people stay in for 20 years and get out as
an
E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month,
and the very people who
placed them in harm's way
receives a pension of $15,000 per month. I would
like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and
join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and
lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are
now fighting.
"When do
we finally do something about this?" If this doesn't seem
fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people
as you can. How many people
CAN YOU
send this
to? ****************************
