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.

Iacocca still has fire in his belly - For America @ 94 years old ... Thx Marge R!

IACOCCA*

               *Could you believe that Lee Iacocca is 94 years old and
               is still KICKIN’ butt? Check out his latest rant.*

               *Just as true today as it was when his book first came
               out. He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!

               Often we need to be reminded of Iacocca's words,
               Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler
               Corporation from its death throes?

               He's now 94 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have
               All The Leaders Gone?'.

               Lee Iacocca Says:

               "Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with
               what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage with
               this so called president?

               We should be screaming bloody murder!

               We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists
               trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff,

               We've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we
               can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program
               without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much
               less build a hybrid car.

               But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and
               nods their heads when the politicians say,

               'trust me, the economy is getting better..

               ' Better ?

               What the Hell ! You've got to be kidding. This is
               America, not the damned Titanic'.

               I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats
               out, along with Obama!'

               You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off
               my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak
               up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.

               The most famous business leaders are not the innovators
               but the guys in handcuffs.

               While we're fiddling in Afghanistan, Iran is completing
               their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to
               know what to do.

               The liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking
               hard questions.

               That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and
               yours traveled across the ocean for.

               I've had enough. How about you?

               I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a
               patriot if you're not outraged.

               This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The
               Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's
               of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

               Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in
               times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up
               your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids
               off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself.

               It's another thing to lead when your world comes
               tumbling down. On September 11, 2001 , we needed a
               strong leader more than any other time in our history.
               We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes.

               We're immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for
               winning and no plan for leaving, but our soldiers are
               dying daily.

               We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the
               world, and it's getting worse every day!

               We've lost the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our
               once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health
               care costs.

               This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD,
               and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have
               been bought by the tree-hugging environmentalists.

               Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the
               teachers' union.

               Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all
               illegals amnesty and free healthcare.

               The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.

               These are times that cry out for leadership.

               But when you look around, you've got to ask: Where have
               all the leaders gone? Where are the curious, creative
               communicators?

               Where are the people of character, courage, conviction,
               omnipotence, and common sense?

               I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get
               the point.

               Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland
               security than making us take off our shoes in airports
               and throw away our shampoo?

               We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new
               bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to
               things that have already happened.

               Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the
               government will make it better for them. Now, that's
               just crazy. Deal with life.

               Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively
               about how we can restore our competitive edge in
               manufacturing.

               Who would have believed that there could ever be a time
               when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies?
               How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama
               did about it.

               Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan
               for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis,
               or managing the health care problem. The silence is
               deafening.

               But these are the crises that are eating away at our
               country and milking the middle class dry.

               I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress.

               We didn't elect you to turn this country into a losing
               European Socialist state.

               What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on
               NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break.
               Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

               Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom
               and doom here.

               I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I
               have hope - I believe in America...

               In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through
               some of America 's greatest moments.

               I've also experienced some of our worst crises:

               The 'Great Depression,' World War II,' 'the 'Korean
               War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,'
               the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years
               since 9/11.

               Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone
               you know and care about.

               For, it is your country, folks, and it's your future and
               your progeny.

               My / Our future is at stake!*
