Veteran's Day 2006

A great big THANK YOU to all those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

THANK YOU to those who continue to serve us today.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad (and especially those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan). Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Train Wreck

I witnessed a train wreck last night. The Democrats demolished the Republicans in the 2006 elections.

Lord have mercy.

The looney left is now in charge of the Congress.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Tag is out

Tagged out

Tag is now out during recess at Willett Elementary School in Attleboro.

So is touch football and any other unsupervised "chasing" games that are deemed to pose the risk of injury as well as liability to the school.

Back in the day (60's), when I was in high school, dodgeball was outlawed because it was too rough. In fact, because it was so rough, we called it battleball instead of dodgeball. In order to get around the ban on dodgeball (aka battleball), the gym teachers simply changed the name to leisureball. It continued to be a rough game and was one of our favorite games to play in gym class.

Now, because of fearful parents and administrators, Tag is being outlawed in some schrools. I have an idea. Simply change the name to "You're It" and let the kids have some fun.

Silver Linings

They say there is a silver lining behind every cloud. The recent news shows that this may be true.

Cloud: A man takes over an Amish school and murders several young girls.

Silver Lining: The word "forgiveness" is being spoken on the nightly news and is being modeled before our eyes by the Amish. Yes, those backward folks who don't even know what an Ipod is or use Instant Messaging, are showing all of us what it means to turn the other cheek.

Cloud: A member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mark Foley (R-FL), resigns after his despicable behavior is brought to the light of day.

Silver Lining: Even the liberal Democrats are saying that certain behavior is beyond the pale. Some are even using language that would be considered gay bashing if used by someone with an "R" behind their name. If only they would use the same energy against their own. Does the name Kennedy or Frank or Reynolds ring any bells. Maybe the Boy Scouts aren't so wrong in wanting to keep homosexual men away from young boys.

A good read

Here is an excellent article about the current state of affairs in the U.S.

Churchill didn’t have an ‘exit strategy’ by Rev. Raymond De Souza

What I have learned

What I have learned since 9/11/2001:

1. There are people out there who want to kill us. They want us dead for no other reason than that we are citizens of the United States of America. They are even willing to murder women and children, the innocent, and members of their own religion.

2. There are people in this country who do not believe #1 is a serious problem. They think it is best to appease the evil doers.

3. There are people in this country who think that we are the real evil doers, and George Bush is the most evil of all. He is to blame for everything: hurricanes and the damage they cause, high gas prices (of course nothing is said when prices go down), terrorist attacks, global warming, etc. I am surprised that he hasn't been blamed for the death of the crocodile man. Where was Bush when that happened, anyway?

4. There are a lot of sick people out there.

Lord have mercy!!!

First Day of (Government) School

Today is the first day of school for the kids in my area. My commute to work was delayed because of the school bus stops. At several stops, I noticed a group of parents saying goodbye with cameras flashing and tears in their eyes.

A photo to mark in time this great event. The day you turn your kids over to someone else to raise. The day you lose that close bond with your child and they return a stranger. The last day your family will ever be the same.

Let us pray for the children and their families:

O God, our heavenly Father, who lovest mankind, and art most merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon thy servants (Name those whom you wish to remember) for whom I humbly pray thee, and commend to thy gracious care and protection. Be thou, O God, their guide and guardian in all their endeavors, lead them in the path of thy truth, and draw them nearer to thee, that they may lead a godly and righteous life in thy love and fear; doing thy will in all things. Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, dilligent, devout and charitable. Defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life; and direct them in the way of salvation, through the merits of thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the intercessions of his Holy Mother and thy blessed Saints. Amen.

Liberals in black robes

Todays Supreme Court decision reminds me of this Q & A:

Q: What is the most dangerous creature on the earth?

A: A liberal in black robes.

This decision will certainly strengthen the resolve of our enemies and will make the war on terror that much more difficult and dangerous.

What make me say that liberals in black robes are so dangerous? Just ask one of the millions of babies who were killed over the last 30 years via abortions because of the decision of liberals in black robes. Oh I forgot, you can't ask them. They are dead.

I can see clearly now

The 2006 General Convention (GC2006) of The Episcopal Church (TEC, formerly known as ECUSA) is now over. The GC2006 can be summarized in one word, clarity.

The leaders of TEC have certainly brought clarity. It is clear that they want to continue down the liberal, revisionist, relativist path.

Frankly, I am a little surprised by this. I hoped for repentance, changing direction back to the historic church. I thought there would be alot of fudge. Trying to play off both sides and standing for nothing. Instead, they are clearly moving down the path of destruction. My response to this is: "SSSee Ya, wouldn't want to be Ya".

Mother Who?

Jefferts Schori preaches of Mother Jesus

Presiding Bishop Elect preaches about Mother Jesus

“Our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation and we are his
children. We are going to have to give up fear.”

This can't be correct, can it? Mother Jesus. Perhaps she had a slip of the tongue and meant to say, brother Jesus. Perhaps the microphone wasn't working and the transcriptionist heard mother, but she really said brother. Perhaps the sun will explode today and we will survive it.


If this is the face of The Episcopal Church, Lord have mercy.

So much for Christian Unity

Episcopal Church elects first woman Presiding Bishop

[Episcopal News Service] The Episcopal Church, 30 years after it
allowed women to become priests and bishops, has elected a woman as its Presiding Bishop.

The Episcopal Church to the rest of the Anglican Communion and other Christians all over the world: "Screw you, you bunch of sexist homophob bigots. We will do what we want, no matter if 2000+ years of Christian tradition is to the contrary."

So much for Christian unity. It appears that the left wing wants to poke her fingers in the eyes of everyone else.

Lord have mercy!

My Pride and Joy

I have not been able to post very often of late, but I wanted to post a picture of my pride and joy.

The ECUSA is having their General Convention this week, so I hope to be able to post my thoughts on what is happening. My prayer is that God opens the windows of heaven and pours down a tremendous blessing. I also pray that God opens the eyes of the blind to see His will and desire for the Church.

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Looney Liberal Logic

Here is another example of LLL (Looney Liberal Logic).

Coaches face suspension for wins of 50-plus points

HARTFORD, Conn. -- High school football coaches in Connecticut will have to be good sports this fall -- or risk a suspension.

The football committee of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which governs high school sports, is adopting a "score management" policy that will suspend coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points.

We wouldn't want the losing team to feel bad, now would we.

Hey folks, IT'S FOOTBALL!! You know, a sport, There is a winning and a losing team. May the best team win, and all.

"OK son. If you find yourself about to cross the goal line, be sure to fall down first. We don't want to hurt their feeeelings."

This is nuts.

Immigration Doom and Gloom

Senate Immigration Bill Would Allow 100 Million New Legal Immigrants over the Next Twenty Years
by Robert Rector
WebMemo #1076

May 15, 2006

If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

I am not a doom and gloomer, but this is scarey. I think I better sign up for Spanish lessons.

Theme song of the Democratic Party

Whatever It Is, I'm Against It (Groucho's version)

I don't know what they have to say,
it makes no difference anyway,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
no matter what it is or who commenced it,
I'm against it.

Your proposition may be good,
but let's have one thing understood,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
and even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it.

I'm opposed to it,
on general principles I'm opposed to it!

(Chorus)
He's opposed to it!
in fact, in word, in deed,
he's opposed to it!

For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night till morn,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
and I've kept yelling since I commenced it,
I'm against it!

Speaks for itself. President Bush could say the sky is blue and the Dems would say, I'm against it.

What a joke

Democrats link insurance bill to more abortions

By Amy Fagan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 11, 2006

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday said the Republican health bill before the chamber would eliminate state health care guarantees, thereby jeopardizing women's access to contraception and perhaps resulting in more abortions.

I didn't realize that Hillary was anti-abortion. I bet this is news to her pro-abortion supporters. Of course they know she is just kidding.

Much ado about nothing

USA Today Headline : NSA has massive database of Americans' phone calls

The libs are going nuts over this news. Personally, I am grateful that the NSA is looking for the bad guys. Since I have nothing to fear if some government official knows that I call my mother, this database is OK by me. Hopefully, the NSA will ignore the loons and continue to protect us.

Heaven forbid, Not Nancy

This could be the face of the next Speaker of the House.

Oh God, please NO!!

Take that...

Jobs Data Send Dow to New 6-Year High

NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks rallied sharply Friday as moderating job growth reinforced Wall Street's hopes that the Federal Reserve may soon end its series of interest rate hikes. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed more than 110 points to a fresh six-year high.

Take that all you doom and gloomers.

Happy May Day, comrades

I haven't been able to post much lately, but I wanted to be sure to post something today, May (Commie) Day, 2006. I didn't want anyone to think that I was participating in today's strike or even giving passive support.

I have heard a lot about justice for those who are in the U.S. illegally. Well, what about justice for those who are following the rules and waiting in line to enter the U.S.? What about justice for those in the medical or educational fields, who must deal with overcrowding due to illegals? What about justice for those whose property values have decreased because of the shacks built next door? There is a lot of injustice to go around.

The joke is that the discussion about illegal immigration and the open borders began as a result of 9/11. We need to secure the borders so that terrorists cannot enter this country and do us more harm. We seem to be taking our eyes off the ball with all the talk of what to do with the illegals who are already here. First things first. Secure the borders, so that our enemy cannot get in here and kill us all.

As the Lone Ranger used to say, "Adios, Amigos".
