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.

Great definition Ramey! We offended Germans and Japanese during WW II. Then we were quite patriotic for our own country. Many Japanese and Germans have assimilated very well. Thx Frd!


FINALLY, A DEFINITION OF THE TERM


"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"!.................... from the Truman
Library and Museum in Independence Missouri. 

        A
unnamed source there sent me copies of four telegrams that were
between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day before the
actual signing of the Surrender Agreement in Tokyo Bay.

        The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received,
not a word has been added or deleted!

        (1) Tokyo,
Japan 0800-September 1,1945

        To: President Harry S Truman 

        From: General D A MacArthur

        Tomorrow we meet with those yellow bellied bastards and sign the
Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions!
         (2) Washington, D C 1300-September 1, 1945

        To: D A MacArthur

        From: H S Truman 

        Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious
dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender
with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally not
politically correct!

        (3) Tokyo, Japan 1630-September 1, 1945

        To: H S Truman

        From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz

        Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what
does the term politically correct mean?

        (4) Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945

        To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz

        From: H S Truman

        Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a
delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end!

Policemen being harrassed ... Thx obama!

The Answer radio reported this morning that big cities are experiencing a lot of harrassment  from people with cell phones taking videos of them when they come across a policemen making an arrest.
They also get the three finger salute regularly and are being generally disrespected.

These poor professionals have been so belittled by ob, Holder, and Sharpton.  What a shame in America.  Absolutely traitorous (supposed leadership)!

Academic Interview ... Thx Ramey H!


After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
 
Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning. You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self-esteem and personal pride.
 
You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a check book, and apply for a job. You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams. You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
 
You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps. You want me to do all this, and then you tell me......

Montana's lgst newspaper admits 2008 mistake in endorsing o ... Thx Paul C!

Montana’s Largest Newspaper Admits “We Were Wrong” on Obama

After endorsing him for President in 2008, the Billings-based Gazette – Montana’s largest newspaper – has admitted that they were off the mark in supporting Barack Obama and have been proven wrong by the last six years of history.
As part of a June 27th editorial, the paper said, “Sometimes, you have to admit you’re wrong. And, we were wrong.”
An unusual move for a newspaper to make, the Gazette’s editors felt they had no choice but to apologize for endorsing a young candidate who has been at the center of several scandals (Benghazi, the IRS, Iraq) as well as a President who has done little to make progress on his most important campaign promises. The latter is actually great news for anyone who doesn’t want to see the country slide into a liberal swamp, but it’s understandable that the Gazette would not see things this way.
Even the right’s most prominent columnists rarely wrap Obama’s failures in such a succinct bow. The paper cites the NSA spying controversy, the Bergdahl fiasco, the VA scandal, the lack of promised transparency, and the failures in Iraq as the reasons for withdrawing support.
Obviously, this falls pretty comfortably in the “better late than never” category, but it’s still a blessing to see people in the media come to their senses about this guy. It might be unfortunate that this wake-up call couldn’t have happened two years ago, but I guess you have to take what you can get. In any case, the same journalists that have abandoned the Hope and Change Train will be jumping on the next socialist social climber that comes along.
Of course, the Gazette probably doesn’t have much to apologize for in the first place. The state went to McCain in 2008, it went to Romney in 2012, and it will probably go to the Republican candidate in 2016. Montana is a red state through and through, with Republicans enjoying a 14-point percentage advantage according to a 2012 Gallup poll. And that even begs the real question: how much do newspaper endorsements mean in the first place? Furthermore, should they even be making endorsements to begin with?
Newspaper endorsements have tradition in their favor, but they date from a time when people expected their journalists to have a point of view. In the last half-century or so, the public has forced newspapers to take a more balanced approach to the news, eschewing yellow journalism and endless polemic writing for the plain facts. Of course, the idea of bias ever leaving journalism entirely is a joke, one that has become even more hilarious in the advent of a few major corporations controlling most of the media. Still, the idea of a newspaper – even one that draws laughter when they claim to be unbiased – throwing their support behind a candidate is archaic and unsettling. Certainly, they have the right to do so. It’s just a matter of whether they should.

2016 Posters- Libs cannot process in their minds ... Thx Ramey H!

 
 
CAMPAIGN POSTERS
- not jokes

The poster with the three monkeys really hits home
and to the point. Shown below are posters designed
for possible use in 2016.
If they are used, it will be because enough people
in authority will have decided that it is time to put
a stop to lies as the staple of Washington.

Description:

NEVER FORGET! 
Justice is demanded for those murdered and
justice for Incompetence of the people allowing
this to happen is due.
Harsh but please keep this moving. Everyone
should see this.
The horrific torture this man had to endure
should be a reminder to those who admire
and support Hillary. How could anyone ever
say "What difference does it make?”    
Some folks may be bored by keeping this story
alive, but looking at the crowd that is doing
this and planning for the future (What does it
matter?) the memory needs to be kept alive.
