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.

Ugly fight brewing... Sam Kegley

I foresee an ugly political fight brewing between the conservatives and the liberals.  Unfortunately, o is taking the side of the unions and the blacks vs the conservatives and the whites and there will be many demonstrations with some violence.   Teachers and government employees will side with the libs.  Families will split.  It is nearing a civil war in my opinion.  He is making wrong look right. 

Our debt is far too high.  o enacted the stimulous which is the same as taking money from the USA and he has apparently got it by without any thought of him stealing the USA's money.  Is there no smart accountant to trace the funds?  What strong powers he has assumed as just one opposed to our constitutional government.   He has been pro muslim and anti-Christian in every encounter. 

I am on the side of the Tea Party people and it is necessary to get this country back on the right trail.

Doctor's results- Thanks John & Yvette!

A doctor from Israel says: "In Israel the medicine is so advanced


that we cut off a man's testicles; we put them into another man,

and in 6 weeks he is looking for work." "



The German doctor comments: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out of a person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work . .

A Russian doctor says: "That's nothing either. In Russia we take out

half of the heart from a person; we put it into another person's

chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work" "



The U.S. doctor answers immediately: "That's nothing my colleagues,

you are way behind us....in the USA (about 2 years ago) we grabbed a

person From Kenya with no brains, no heart, and no balls....we made

him President of the United States, and now....... the whole country

is looking for work !!!!!!"

Lee Iacocca at 85- Thanks Alma Holl!

He is still a straight talker.  Would that he was twenty years younger.


Subject: Lee is Back!!!!I say Amen !!! Where are all the Americans>?????



EGYPT WOKE UP WHY HAVEN'T WE?



Friends, would you believe that Lee Iacocca is 82 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 82 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? 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. And 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 ass 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. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.



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.

Gas prices are going to skyrock again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-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 illegal's 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 theenergy 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 orCNN 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. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!

The Green Thing... Thanks Clay Vice!

THE GREEN THING


In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the 'green thing' back in my day."



The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. The former generation did not care enough to save our environment."



He was right, that generation didn't have the green thing in its day.



Back then, they returned their milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.



But they didn't have the green thing back in that customer's day.



In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator

in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and

didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two

blocks.



But she was right. They didn't have the green thing in her day.



Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the

throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling

machine burning up 220 volts - wind and solar power really did dry the clothes.

Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always

brand-new clothing.



But that old lady is right, they didn't have the green thing back in her

day.



Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every

room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen

the size of the state of Montana . In the kitchen, they blended and stirred

by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you.

When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used a wadded

upold newspaper to cushion it, not styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.



Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the

lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by

working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that

operate on electricity.



But she's right, they didn't have the green thing back then.



They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty instead of using a cup

or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled

their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the

razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just

because the blade got dull.



But they didn't have the green thing back then.



Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to

school or rode the school bus instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour

taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank

of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a

computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in

space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.



But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks

were just because they didn't have the green thing back then?

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous

failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the

nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way

more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his

stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:



John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of

the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this

statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever

to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when

Thomas Jefferson dined alone."



When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,

we shall become as corrupt as Europe .

Thomas Jefferson



The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those

who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas Jefferson



It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it

goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of

the world.

Thomas Jefferson



I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the

government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of

taking care of them.

Thomas Jefferson



My reading of history convinces me that most bad government

results from too much government.

Thomas Jefferson



No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

Thomas Jefferson



The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep

and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against

tyranny in government.

Thomas Jefferson



The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the

blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson



To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of

ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas Jefferson



Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our

liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow

private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by

inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will

grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property -

until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers

conquered.



I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!



I'm doing my part. Please do yours......

FW- Jim's Chicken farm

Jim's Chicken Farm



Jim was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters to fertilize them. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.



This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.



Jim's favorite rooster, Obama, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed Obama's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.



To Jim's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without work, he had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.



Jim was so proud of Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.



The result was the judges not only awarded Obama the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.



Clearly Obama was a politician. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.



Vote carefully next fall, the bells are not always audible.

IRS Tax Humor... Thanks Mr. Shover

Subject: Fwd: Tax Time Humor



Subject: Tax Time Humor



A man, called to testify at the IRS, asked his accountant

for advice on what to wear. "Wear your shabbiest clothing.

Let him think you are a pauper."



Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got

the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear

your most elegant suit and tie."



Confused, the man went to his rabbi, told him of the

conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma.



"Let me tell you a story," replied the rabbi.



"A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear

on her wedding night. "Wear a heavy, long flannel night-gown

that goes right up to your neck." But when she asked her best

friend, she got conflicting advice. "Wear your most sexy negligee,

with a V neck right down to your navel."



The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my

problem with the IRS?"



"No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed."

Replied the rabbi.



So true.
