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.

Israeli speech to the UN Thanks Sarah Rapp!

It's not fair...Some people are born brilliant!!! Ken






Who Does The Land of Israel Belong To?

An Israeli with an excellent sense of humor,

presented an ingenious example of speech

and politics to the United Nations Assembly

He set the record straight, and made the

world community smile.



A representative from Israel began:

'Before beginning my talk I want to tell

you something about Moses:



When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!'



Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on

the rock and entered the water..

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.



A Palestinian had stolen them!



The Palestinian representative at the UN

jumped up furiously and shouted,

'What are you talking about?

The Palestinians weren't there then.'



The Israeli representative smiled and said,

'And now that we have made that clear,

I will begin my speech...'.


SO VERY CLEVER!!

The pilot and the priest... thanks Terri Kusner!

Pilot & Priest







A Priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.



Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, 'Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven ? '



The guy replies, 'I'm Jack, retired Continental Airlines pilot from Houston . '



Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the Pilot, 'Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.' The pilot goes into Heaven with his robe and staff.



Next, it's the Priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, 'I am Father Bob, Pastor of Saint Mary's in Pasadena for the last 43 years.'



Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the Priest, 'Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom.'



'Just a minute,' says the good Father. 'That man was a Pilot and he gets a silken robe and golden staff and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be?'



'Up here - we go by results,' says Saint Peter. 'When you Preached - people slept. When he flew, people Prayed.'
I tend to lose my cool in traffic to often.  Where could I drive a nail?  Thanks good friend, Lyle shover!

Sam

This has been around before but a good reminder,


NAILS IN THE FENCE



Make sure you

read all the way down to the last sentence.





(Most

importantly the last sentence)







There once was

a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.







The first day

the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next

few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily

gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.







He told his

father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his

temper.









The days

passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.









The father

took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will

never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.



Remember that friends are very rare jewels indeed.

They make you smile and encourage you to succeed; They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open

their hearts to us.





It's National

Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.. Send this to everyone you consider a

FRIEND, even if it means sending it

back to the person who sent it to you! If it comes back to you,

you will then know you have a circle of

friends.





YOU

ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!





Now send this

to every friend you have!! And to your

family(they need to

know that you love them too)..




Please forgive me if I have ever left a 'hole' in your fence.

Veteran Thanks Terry Krause!

A Veteran is someone



who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank



check made payable to 'The United States of



America ' for an amount of 'up to and



including my life.'

This is true, but in my case, it was because my friends and neighbors sent me a message to show up for duty (draft board- January 1952).  Jeanie and I just married and knew it was coming.  Today's service people are volunteers.  That is remarkable.  I personally believe that if our non-representatives have us in a shooting war, every eligible male should be part of the draft, or, at minimum, a draft lottery. 

Sam







That is Honor, and

there are way too many people in this country

who no longer understand it.'

FW- Best email of Memorial Day Thanks Tom & Carolyn!

Subject: FW: BEST EMAIL OF THE DAY!!!!



Too good to save until Memorial Day even tho it isn't that far away





Subject: BEST EMAIL OF THE DAY!!!!



THIS IS THE BEST EMAIL OF THE DAY!!!!


As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.



The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car, and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away..



I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too, and took a few steps towards him.



I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something. The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade. He then turned back to the old man.. I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying:



'You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age.' And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.



I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief, and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine.



He then went to his wife and spoke with her; he appeared to tell her it would be okay. I had seen enough, and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight, and as I got near him I said, 'Looks like you're having a problem.'



He smiled sheepishly, and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself, and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around, I saw a gas station up the road, and I told the old man that I would be right back. I drove to the station and went I inside. I saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them, and related the problem the old man had with his car. I offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.



The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine), I spoke with the old gentleman.



When I shook hands with him earlier, he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, 'What outfit did you serve with?'



He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal ....



He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me. I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card.



He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket. We all shook hands all around again, and I said my goodbye's to his wife.



I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station, I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me



One of them pulled out a card from his pocket, looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.



For some reason I had gone about two blocks, when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name was written: 'Congressional Medal of Honor Society.'



I sat there motionless, looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage, and an honor to have been in his presence. Remember, OLD men like him gave youFREEDOM for America . Thanks to those who served and still serve, and to all of those who supported them, and who continue to support them.



America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war..America is at the Mall. If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!

Remember, Freedom isn't Free. Thousands have paid the price, so that you can enjoy what you have today.

LET'S DO THIS: JUST 19 WORDS:

GOD OUR FATHER, WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE AND TAKE AWAY ALL MY WORRIES; AND PLEASE WATCH OVER AND HEAL MY FAMILY;AND PLEASE PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS, AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS, WHO ARE DEFENDING THOSE FREEDOMS.AMEN



This prayer is so powerful. Pass this prayer to 12 people, including me.

Secret Service and the Presidents. Thanks Sarah Rapp!

Subject: Fwd: Secret Service Perspective







A book about the Secret Service is out and it reveals an awful lot about the Presidents and Vice-Presidents...very interesting...recap thus far:



JFK and LBJ = Philanderers of the highest order. Both kept a lot of women in White House for affairs. Both set up "early warning" systems for if and when their wives were nearby. Totally immoral men. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. (I heard this about him when he was in office...filth through and through.)



Nixon = Weird, moral man but very odd and weird. Paranoid etc. Horrible relationship with his family, almost a recluse.



Agnew = Nice decent man, everyone was surprised at his downfall.



Ford = A true gentlemen who treated them with respect and dignity



Jimmy Carter = A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private, i.e., would be shown carrying his own luggage, suit cases were always empty, he kept empty ones just for photo ops. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non drinker, he and family drank alcohol a lot. Had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes. Didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Would never acknowledge military or Secret service that were there to serve him.



Ronald Reagan = The real deal. Moral, honest, respectful and dignified. Treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Would always thank everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level. One story early on in Presidency the President came out of his room with a side arm attached to his hip. The Agent in charge said "Why the pistol Mr. President?" Ronald Reagan replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was common for him to carry a pistol. People do not know that when he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice during the election Ronald Reagan said, "Boys will be boys, but boys will not be President."



Nancy Reagan = Very nice but very protective of the President..the Secret Service was always caught in the middle. Nancy would try to control what the President ate all the time (healthy) and he would say to the Agents "come on you gotta help me out." The Reagans rarely drank alcohol. Secret Service said they could count on one hand the times the Reagans were served alcohol other than wine during dinner. They made the comment for all the fake bluster of the Carters - it was the Reagans who lived life as genuinely moral people.



George and Barbara Bush = Extremely kind and considerate. Always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents comforts were taken care of. They would bring them meals etc. One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport. One agent who was given a warm hat tried to nicely say no thanks when he was obviously freezing and President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the first lady, put the hat on."



Bill Clinton = Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy, he was nice because he wanted everyone to like him but life is just one big game and party to him.



Hillary Clinton = Another phony. Personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. Again another one who felt people are there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.



Al Gore = An egotistical ASS who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail when he told his son he needed to do better in school or he "would end up like these guys" and pointed to the agents.



G W Bush = They loved him and Laura Bush. They said no one is a nicer person than Laura Bush who never has a harsh word to say about anyone. The Bushes went out of their way to take care of the Secret Service and made sure they were well cared for with meals and other comforts. GW was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran like a well-oiled machine. He was also the most in shape who had a very strict work out regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administration understood to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.



Barack Obama - Clintons over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service.



And, there you have it.

FW- Islam inm a nutshell Thanks Bob Looney!

Subject: Fwd: Islam in a nutshell


I had seen the top half of this before (Islamic actions within a country based on percentages of population) but not the bottom half: a list of specific reasons that it is impossible for a good Muslim to also be a good American (conflict of ideals in multiple aspects of life.)



Subject: Islam in a nutshell - Things you need to know



This is how it works ... do not doubt it.



Islam in a nutshell - Some things you need to know. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will, for the most part, be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:



United States Muslim 0.6%

Australia Muslim 1.5%

Canada Muslim 1.9%

China Muslim 1.8%

Italy Muslim 1.5%

Norway Muslim 1.8%

________________________________



At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.



This is happening in:



Denmark Muslim 2%

Germany Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom Muslim 2.7%

Spain Muslim 4%

Thailand Muslim 4.6%

________________________________



From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of Halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature Halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply.



This is occurring in:



France Muslim 8%

Philippines Muslim 5%

Sweden Muslim 5%

Switzerland Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago Muslim 5.8%



At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

_________________________________



When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burning's. ANY non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:



Guyana Muslim 10%

India Muslim 13.4%

Israel Muslim 16%

Kenya Muslim 10%

Russia Muslim 15%

_________________________________



After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burning of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:



Ethiopia Muslim 32.8%

_________________________________



At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:



Bosnia Muslim 40%

Chad Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon Muslim 59.7%

_________________________________



From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:



Albania Muslim 70%

Malaysia Muslim 60.4%

Qatar Muslim 77.5%

Sudan Muslim 70%

_________________________________



After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced, and in some ways is on-going in:



Bangladesh Muslim 83%

Egypt Muslim 90%

Gaza Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia Muslim 86.1%

Iran Muslim 98%

Iraq Muslim 97%

Jordan Muslim 92%

Morocco Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan Muslim 97%

Palestine Muslim 99%

Syria Muslim 90%

Tajikistan Muslim 90%

Turkey Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates Muslim 96%

_________________________________



100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasah's are the only schools, and the Koran is the only Word, such as in:



Afghanistan Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia Muslim 100%

Somalia Muslim 100%

Yemen Muslim 100%

_________________________________





Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.



"Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'



It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasah's. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.



Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.



Well guess what boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the hen house. And soon the wolves, will be herding the sheep!



Obama appoints two devout Muslims to Homeland Security posts. Don't you feel safer already?



Obama and Janet Napolitano appoint Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.



DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).



NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant? Just asking...



Devout Muslims being appointed to critical positions?



Was it not "Devout Muslim Men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings 10 years ago?!



Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood?!



Also: This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about these atrocities?!



Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:



Theologically? No! Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia.



Religiously? No! Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam. (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)



Scripturally? No! Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.



Geographically? No! Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.



Socially? No! Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.



Politically? No! Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, "The Great Satan".



Domestically? No! Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34)



Intellectually? No! Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.



Philosophically? No! Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.



Spiritually? No! Because when we declare "One nation under God", our Judeo/Christian God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly Father, nor is he ever called "Love" in The Quran's 99 excellent names.



Therefore, after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious because obviously, they cannot be both "good" Muslims AND "good" Americans!



Call it what you wish, it's still the truth, and we'd better start believing it, and waking up to that fact!

The more we understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. This religious war is bigger than we know or understand.



Can a Muslim be a good soldier in our armed forces? Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and killed 13 -- because he was a devout Muslim! And the Muslims have always said they will destroy us from within.
