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.

Sam is thinking seriously... in a dangerous time

I love the irony of the characters in the wizard of Oz. The scarecroiw wanted to get a brain, yet he figured out the various dilemmas Dorothy and her compatriots faced. The lion wanted courage yet he always displayed it outside of his easily weeping. The tin man wanted a heart, yet he always showed compassion throughout. Wonderful story!

Switching to the serious confrontations of America now. Most who know me know that I claim to be a Christian Conservative. I claim no holiness just the forgiveness of our Holy Father through Jesus Christ. A couple of friends recentlyasked if I would vote for Glenn Beck, Bill O'Riley, or Sarah Palin. I certainly would! Any would be ten times and more better than the current president.

A recent email claimed that obama's dislike of our country was from what he claims as our colonialist history. He learned in colonial countries. He has missed some good teaching. Sure there have beern "Ugly Americans" visiting throughout the world as there have been many ugly humans from whatever country.

We have a few sattelite states such as Puerto Rico and a few others, but they aren't suffering from American presence. The land we have paid for from other countries is mainly that to bury our dead fighters who fought for everybody's protection on foreign soils.

Glenn Beck and Bill O'Riley are being severely attacked by o's cohorts and he hopes to quiet them and then any of us who express our dissatisfaction with his efforts to completely change our country by eliminating our freedoms.

I will poorly relate this story by Glenn Beck yesterday on radio:

In Germany the gentleman related back to his kindly father.

When taxes were being increased, his father said: "That's ok, it can't get worse than that."

When police actions against innocent civilians increased, he said the same thing.

When his cousin disappeared mysteriously, again he said: "That's ok, It can't get worse than that."

The Gestapo came and arrested him and took him off to jail. His son visited and his father said: That's ok. It can't get worse than that.

The son learned that a trainfull of German Jews were being trained away. He went to the station and found his father who was last to get on. His son pushed his father into the overfilled train car to allow the door to shut. His father mimicked as the train left for Auchswitz: "That's ok. It can't get worse than that."

He never saw his father again.

I recently wrote that cowards voted for obama. I apologize for that. They were mainly acting wrongheadedly. However, the "o" voters were badly mistaken and should admit their error.

So many friends and family hang to their progressive left leaning ways. I hear : "That's ok. It can't get worse than that."

This narcissistic POUSA will destroy all that he possibly can. If we still have thinking, courage, and compassionas individuals, and if only for our own families, please don't let me hear you say: "That's ok. It can't get worse than that."

I am not meaning to say "Gloom and Doom" because I truly believe that God is so much stronger and wiser and compassionate than the despotic devils who would destroy America.

"Praise God from Whom all blessings flow."

Dec 7- 1941 and 9-11-2001

Franklin Roosevelt said: "This day will live in Infamy". Too 9-11-2001, nearly 70 years later, was perpetrated by mercenaries of the Saudi Arabian government and by islamic terrorists. Our current president doesn't like the term-islamic terrorists- and mainly, by his presidential actions, is abetting them. The Saudies still live well off the oil income from the rest of the world, mostly from this nation. Their offspring, osama, devised and celebrated 911 along with them.

Our service people defeated the tyrannical Japanese, Germans, and Italians in WWII and then helped those that desired back on their feet, A LOT!

How different is this world and the cowards who elected this president? Progressives? I think not!

Lay off letter Thanks Bob Looney!

Lay Off Letter

Little wonder why this guy is boss. He is sharp!





Dear Employees:



As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.


So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change......I gave it to them.



I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.



THE BOSS
CIA book

As President George W. Bush's top speechwriter, Marc Thiessen was provided
unique access to the CIA program used in interrogating top Al Qaeda
terrorists, including the mastermind of the 9/11 attack, Khalid Sheikh
Mohammad (KSM).




Now, his riveting new book, "Courting Disaster", How the CIA Kept America
Safe (Regnery), has been published




Here is an excerpt from "Courting Disaster":


Just before dawn on March 1, 2003, two dozen heavily armed Pakistani
tactical assault forces move in and surround a safe house in Rawalpindi
.
A few hours earlier they had received a text message from an informant
inside the house. It read: "I am with KSM."




Bursting in, they find the disheveled mastermind of the 9/11 attacks,
Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed, in his bedroom. He is taken into custody. In the safe
house, they find a treasure trove of computers, documents, cell phones and
other valuable "pocket litter."




Once in custody, KSM is defiant. He refuses to answer questions, informing
his captors that he will tell them everything when he gets to America and
sees his lawyer. But KSM is not taken to America to see a lawyer. Instead
he is taken to a secret CIA "black site" in an undisclosed location.




Upon arrival, KSM finds himself in the complete control of Americans. He
does not know where he is, how long he will be there, or what his fate
will
be.




Despite his circumstances, KSM still refuses to talk. He spews contempt at
his interrogators, telling them that Americans are weak, lack resilience,
and are unable to do what is necessary to prevent the terrorists from
succeeding in their goals. He has trained to resist interrogation. When
he is asked for information about future attacks, he tells his questioners
scornfully: "Soon, you will know."




It becomes clear he will not reveal the information using traditional
interrogation techniques. So he undergoes a series of "enhanced
interrogation techniques" approved for use only on the most high-value
detainees. The techniques include waterboarding.




His resistance is described by one senior American official as
"superhuman."
Eventually, however, the techniques work, and KSM becomes cooperative-for
reasons that will be described later in this book.




He begins telling his CIA de-briefers about active al Qaeda plots to launch
attacks against the United States and other Western targets. He holds
classes for CIA officials, using a chalkboard to draw a picture of al
Qaeda's operating structure, financing, communications, and logistics.
He
identifies al Qaeda travel routes and safe havens, and helps intelligence
officers make sense of documents and computer records seized in
terroristraids. He identifies voices in intercepted telephone calls, and
helps officials understand the meaning of coded terrorist communications.
He provides information that helps our intelligence community capture other
high-ranking terrorists,




KSM's questioning, and that of other captured terrorists, produces more
than
6,000 intelligence reports, which are shared across the intelligence
community, as well as with our allies across the world.




In one of these reports, KSM describes in detail the revisions he made to
his failed 1994-1995 plan known as the "Bojinka plot" to blow up a dozen
airplanes carrying some 4,000 passengers over the Pacific Ocean .




Years later, an observant CIA officer notices that the activities of a
cell
being followed by British authorities appear to match KSM's description
of
his plans for a Bojinka-style attack.




In an operation that involves unprecedented intelligence cooperation
between
our countries, British officials proceed to unravel the plot. On the night
of Aug.9, 2006 they launch a series of raids in a northeast London suburb
that lead to the arrest of two dozen al Qaeda terrorist suspects. They
find
A USB thumb-drive in the pocket of one of the men with security details
for
Heathrow airport, and information on seven trans-Atlantic flights that were
scheduled to take off within hours of each other:




* United Airlines Flight 931 to San Francisco departing at 2:15
p.m.;




* Air Canada Flight 849 to Toronto departing at 3:00 p.m.;




* Air Canada Flight 865 to Montreal departing at 3:15 p.m.;




* United Airlines Flight 959 to Chicago departing at 3:40 p.m.;






* United Airlines Flight 925 to Washington departing at 4:20 p.m.;




* American Airlines Flight 131 to New York departing at 4:35 p.m; and




* American Airlines Flight 91 to Chicago departing at 4:50 p.m.






They seize bomb-making equipment and hydrogen peroxide to make liquid
explosives. And they find the chilling martyrdom videos the suicide
bombers
had prepared.




Today, if you asked an average person on the street what they know about
the
2006 airlines plot, most would not be able to tell you much. Few Americans
are aware of the fact that al Qaeda had planned to mark the fifth
anniversary of 9/11 with an attack of similar scope and magnitude.




And still fewer realize that the terrorists' true intentions in this plot
were uncovered thanks to critical information obtained through the
interrogation of the man who conceived it: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.




This is only one of the many attacks stopped with the help of the CIA
interrogation program established by the Bush Administration in the wake of
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.






Editor's Note: For other foiled terrorist plots, see page 9 of Courting
Disaster.




In addition to helping break up these specific terrorist cells and plots,
CIA questioning provided our intelligence community with an unparalleled
body of information about al Qaeda




Until the program was temporarily suspended in 2006, intelligence
officials
say, well over half of the information our government had about al
Qaeda-how it operates, how it moves money, how it communicates, how it
recruits operatives, how it picks targets, how it plans and carries out
attacks-came from the interrogation of terrorists in CIA custody.




Former CIA Director George Tenet has declared: "I know that this program
has
saved lives. I know we've disrupted plots. I know this program alone is
worth more than what the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the
National Security Agency put together have been able to tell us."




Former CIA Director Mike Hayden has said: "The facts of the case are that
the use of these techniques against these terrorists made us safer. It
really did work."




Even Barack Obama's Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, has
acknowledged: "High-value information came from interrogations in which
those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qaeda
organization that was attacking this country."




Leon Panetta, Obama's CIA Director, has said: "Important information was
gathered from these detainees. It provided information that was acted
upon."






And John Brennan, Obama's Homeland Security Advisor, when asked in an
interview if enhanced-interrogation techniques were necessary to keep
America safe, replied : "Would the U.S. be handicapped if the CIA was not,
in fact, able to carry out these types of detention and debriefing
activities? I would say yes."






On Jan. 22, 2009, President Obama issued Executive Order 13491, closing the
CIA program and directing that, henceforth, all interrogations by U.S
personnel must follow the techniques contained in the Army Field Manual.




The morning of the announcement, Mike Hayden was still in his post as CIA
Director, He called White House Counsel Greg Craig and told him bluntly:


"You didn't ask, but this is the CIA officially nonconcurring". The
president went ahead anyway, overruling the objections of the agency.




A few months later, on April 16, 2009, President Obama ordered the release
of four Justice Department memos that described in detail the techniques
used to interrogate KSM and other high-value terrorists. This time, not
just Hayden (who was now retired) but five CIA directors –including
Obama's
own director, Leon Panetta -- objected. George Tenet called to urge
against the memos' release. So did Porter Goss. So did John Deutch.
Hayden
says: "You had CIA directors in a continuous unbroken stream to 1995
calling saying, 'Don't do this.'"




In addition to objections from the men who led the agency for a collective
14 years, the President also heard objections from the agency's covert
field
operatives. A few weeks earlier, Panetta had arranged for the eight top
officials of the Clandestine Service to meet with the President. It was
highly unusual for these clandestine officers to visit the Oval Office, and
they used the opportunity to warn the President that releasing the memos
would put agency operatives at risk. The President reportedly listened
respectfully-and then ignored their advice.




With these actions, Barack Obama arguably did more damage to America 's
national security in his first 100 days of office than any President in
American history.

Careful with this info

Thanks Pat Richards Whitehead. This old worry wart-Sam K.- believes you, not Snopes. Let the reader beware. Besides a valuable warning, young people experimenting could become bomb makers from curiosity.

Pass this on to everybody you know. Anybody that sees a plastic bottle in their yard would think nothing of picking it up to throw it away.

It looks like these things are starting to pop up around the U.S. Check the Snopes web site below, it's pretty scary.

Important warning! NOT A JOKE! Pay attention to this.

1. A plastic bottle with a cap (Like a normal water bottle).
2. A little Drano.
3. A little water.
4. A small piece of foil.
5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM (Less than 30 seconds)!!
6. No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.

People are finding these bombs in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for someone to pick it up intending to put it in the trash.

It takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing.


Send it to everyone on your mailing list, I did and it won't hurt to get it several times.

Christmas thanks for the rather large gift, God!

On Christ's birthday, we each realize this rather large gift. Thanks Tom and Carolyn Lynch!

Subject: FW: Fw: Fwd: So, what would you do?! Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 21:46:18 -0500



an interesting concept


Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.

However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:

Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.

You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day. The second set of rules:

The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, it's over, the game is over! It can close the account and you will not

receive a new one.

What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY! Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do

with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day.

Start spending.

P'Town replies- Clay Vice & Sarah Rapp
Labels Portsmouth
I WAS NEVER A CAMEO COWBOY, DIDN'T CARE MUCH ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THERE. WE COUNTY BOYS ALWAYS HUNG OUT AT THE PLAYHOUSE, WHERE THEY HAD DUCK PINS IN THE BASEMENT, 6 POOL TABLES AND 1 SNOOKER TABLE UP AT THE FRONT. THAT WAS WHERE THE OLD PRO'S PLAYED. UP STAIRS THEY HAD A TICKER TAPE AND THAT WHERE ALL THE BIG TIME GAMBLING TOOK PLACE. WE PUNK KIDS WEREN'T ALLOWED UP THERE, AND THEY HAD THE BEST HOT DOGS THERE, BUT AT CONEY ISLAND UP BY THE EAGLES AN OLD GREEK CALLED NICK, " WHO WAS AN EXCELLENT BOWLER AND HAD A LOT OF TROPHIES IN HIS RESTAURANT " HAD THE BEST HOT DOGS IN PORTSMOUTH".

Clay Vice

Clay, I and a couple of other friends had to spend after school time in PHS Men's Dean Elliott's office our senior year for sneaking out for those hot dogs at lunchtime and getting caught coming back to school.

No doubt he was related to the Greeks or Italians who served the great hot dogs in New Boston. Nick's (NB) sold a little-finger size hot dog for a nickel and made a small fortune in those days.

Sarah Rapp said her parents didn't allow her to go into the Cameo. I thought the upper clicked Portsmouth girls like Sarah would be mainstays.
