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.

You Created US . . . Thx Paul C!

You Created US
To:

"US"
by Paul Genova

I'm noticing that a lot of you aren't graciously
accepting the fact that your candidate lost.
In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about
those of us who voted for Trump.
Some of you are apparently "triggered"
because you are posting how "sick" you feel about the results.


How did this happen you ask?


You created "us"
when you attacked our freedom of speech.

You created "us"
when you attacked our right to bear arms.

You created "us"
when you attacked our Christian beliefs.

You created "us"
when you constantly referred to us as racists.

You created "us"
when you constantly called us xenophobic.

You created "us"
when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.

You created "us"
when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized
us for not participating.

You created "us"
when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.

You created "us"
when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.

You created "us"
when you attacked our flag.

You created "us"
when you took God out of our schools.

You created "us"
when you confused women's rights with feminism.

You created "us"
when you began to emasculate men.

You created "us"
when you decided to make our children soft.

You created “us"
When you decided to rewrite school history books and remove the truth
about our founders.

You created "us"
when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.

 You created "us"
when you attacked our way of life.

 You created "us"
when you decided to let our government get out of control.

"You" created "us"
the silent majority.

 You created "us"
when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.

You created "us"
when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn't remove your hat
during our National Anthem.

And we became fed up
and we pushed back and spoke up.

And we did it with ballots,
not bullets.

With ballots,
not  riots.

With ballots,
not looting.

With ballots,
not blocking traffic.

With ballots, not fires,
except the one you started inside of "us".

 "YOU" created "US".

It really is just that simple.

Silk Roads and Siamese Smile Author and friend, David K. Personal disagreement - SamKat

My bright friend and fellow UK fan is strictly wrong to list Xtianity.   SamKat aka Sam Kegley:



"Islam is a violent Abrahamic religion. All three of the religions spawned by Abraham are violent and full of blood lust — Xtianity, Judaism and Islam."



David, You should admit that Christ is so important in history of this world and no records of Christians Xmas. 

 Wars have existed  throughout history - true!
Christ taught none of this during His ministry on earth.  

We are friends David, but please stop offending my religion of Christianity.  

Give me a break, friend.  Please don't let your intelligence and study ruin your friendships in Kentucky and this world and beyond.

Thx "Silk roads & Siamese Smiles" Author and friend David K, "Abolish the US Department of Education


Abolish the US Department of Education

US Department of Education established in 1979 by Jimmy Carter.
The US now spends more money per student than any other Nation in the world. For all of that, the US now ranks somewhere between 17th to 35th in Global Education Rankings on scholastic achievement.
In 1978, the US was Number 1.
Among adults age 25 to 34, the U.S. is ninth among industrialized nations in the share of its population that has at least a high school degree. In the same age group, the United States ranks seventh, with Belgium, in the share of people who hold a college degree.
By both measures, the United States was first in the world as recently as 20 years ago, said Barry McGaw, director of education for the Paris-based Organization for Cooperation and Development. The 30-nation organization develops the yearly rankings as a way for countries to evaluate their education systems and determine whether to change their policies.
What happened?
The Democratic Party was paid off by Teacher’s Unions to create the Department of Education. The US has been on a free fall in education since.
Abolish the Department of Education. Push Education back down to the States. Centralization of Education is a mistake. It’s a tragedy. No two people learn the same. No two people test the same. You cannot standardize education. We learn differently. We process differently.
The current education system is akin to grabbing a million squares, triangles, circles and ovals and smashing them into star shaped slots.
The American Education Department destroys more than it creates.
“We live in a globally competitive knowledge based economy, and our children today are at a competitive disadvantage with children from other countries,” Duncan said. “That is absolutely unfair to our children and that puts our country’s long term economic prosperity absolutely at risk.”
The Left is going crazy over Betsy DeVos. I can’t see how she can do any worse with the Department of Education than anyone since President Carter established the failed institution.

Born "Free" in America . . . SamKat Rant!

Born “Free” in America

We ‘born here’ citizens of the USA are widely envied throughout the world.  Legal immigrants who also gained citizenship are envied just as much.

There were ten of us Kegley children, of German immigrant descendancy, born to blue-collar parents in Portsmouth Ohio, a town I call ‘the cultural center of my universe”.

We Kegleys never any felt any serious form of discrimination because of the fact that our large family was not from the more-recognized ‘hilltop’ affluent citizens  in Portsmouth.  But we knew of cliques which were there, even for us, the financially poorer people.  Our family was largely raised just a block up the hill and a few feet above the above the terrible 1937 flood crest.

No one person enjoys a personal slight or condescending manner from any other, but we know it happens and can be personally felt.  A parent cannot want that for their children.

Although the Civil War ended in 1865, my home town had segregated living areas for black and white citizens. I only learned as an adult how deeply blacks resented the separations.

We had a one of the nation’s finest swimming pools which  we kids and adults enjoyed so much. Blacks were unable to attend because it was called “The Terrace Club”.  Much later, the pool was integrated, but not without peaceful demonstrations and a black ‘swim-in’.

The Civil Rights act was passed in 1964.   Still, the blacks felt under-privileged in our country, which many of them had helped other service people in fighting our enemies in order to have the USA remain ‘Free’.

Assimilation didn’t immediately happen for any of the ethnic  groups who legally entered our country; however, it was not dismissed out of hand as people wanted to retain their own cultures even in their newly entered land.  But most eventually assimilated.  It has not been as easiy a path for the black families, as it became for the Irish, Italian, east and west European or Asian immigrants.  Not many of those other groups came as slaves as did the blacks.

Many immigrants have meant so much to the USA.  Werner Von Braun brought his German iingenuity  for American advancement.  Assimlating immigrants or refugees have significantly helped the USA?  Azian Americans brought more of the work ethics we love to recognize. 

Yes, we realize that Tea Party types like me don’t mind at all talking of legal immigrants or ‘accepted refugees’ such as Albert Einstein’, a man so important to the USA’s winning of WW II with its allies over the evils threatening us.

Immigrants who assimilate into our value systems are welcome in the USA today to the extent that they want to be Americans and it is visible in their groups. 

I have been recently been substitute teaching in mainly middle schools and high schools.  For eleven year olds, such as many sixth graders are, I can see some as ornery and some more earnest than I and my schoolmates were back in 1943 while WW II was going strong.  The kids I see and the wonderful regular teachers are just as worthy of being protected as our kids were of that day.

It all causes me to wonder:  Who should want to kill the wonderful children and their hard-working elders who have worked so hard and built this “free” country?  All around us here, we  see faces of very good American people, the psyches of whom God knows even more intimately.

There is wider division between the evil and the good since our 2016 elections, but I continually pray that God’s wishes will continue strongly in All American Christians.

There is world-wide evidence that there are those who would remove all good by their own declarations and actions.

America must maintain vigilance to remain a free and leading country for a free world.

My wonderful Christian voluntary editor cannot fully agree with my anger towards the leftists.  God, please keep my anger subsided and let me practice your Christian love for all of your creation.

I still strongly feel that our countrymen must wake up to the dangers confronting the free world.
