how in the heck am i ?  excellent,  thank you, but it will get better.  naw,  it is already better.  i hope it is for you as well.

here i sit ready to wade into another tirade on the assault on this greatest nation GOD ever allowed to exist on HIS planet.  yes, i am speaking of the freedom-thief-in-chief and his band of not so merry men, the dhemorrhoids,  er  demoncrats,  er,  you get the picture.  the ones who can’t stand the fact that most americans work for what they get.  the kind of americans who don’t have a problem with using their own resources  to help a neighbor. the kind of americans who don’t want the government picking winners and losers. the kind of americans who don’t kill their children for convenience. the kind of americans who know this country and her constitution were founded on GOD’S principles and honored HIM in the founding.  the kind of americans the above mentioned menaces  are waging war on with more intensity than any foreign enemy.  yes,  papa barack and the evil empire on the left.  i was quite ready…………………………….then.

i was reminded of just how good a GOD we, who are called by HIS name, serve. 

even with all of the b.s. the present administration dishes out and calls filet mignon on a daily basis, we were blessed with a gift from GOD’S heaven. 

i had the extreme privilege and honor of meeting my grandson for the first time today.  he arrived on GOD’s habitable planet at 9:45 today.  i can honestly say that for a moment in time,  he was all that mattered.  it was just like when his two sisters and cousin, who got here ahead of him, entered the scene………………..love at first sight.

the joy of having children is only rivaled by the blessing of grandchildren.  the feeling  cannot be explained, it must be experienced.  the flood of emotions that hit you are…. a step back in time, a joy of the present and a hope for the future. the gift of children is an awesome responsibility.  the ups and downs of raising them, a roller coaster ride.  are we doing the right thing?  are we screwing them up?  will they have a chance?

okay,  my children,  here’s your shot to see what your mom and i went through.  i would have liked to have been right more often than i was but i wouldn’t have wanted to miss any of the good times or the bad.  the good times made memories,  the bad made us stronger.

so i will continue to plead the case of the conservative viewpoint. i will continue to call out these dangers to the american dream.  i will do it for my children and yours.   for my grand kids and yours.  i am the poppy, dammit,  don’t mess with my family.  i will do all i can so the three most beautiful girls and the most handsome boy i know will have a hope and a future.

welcome to this crazy, crazy world,  max william.  your poppy and mimi love you and can’t wait to see you grow up in a land that we hope will grant you the chance to take your shot at doing whatever you want to  with your life.  we will do our part.  by the way,  i really like your middle name……………………….

thank YOU,  LORD, and may YOU continue to bless this united states of america,  one nation under GOD.

adios for now

good to see you again.  i took a couple of weeks to rest my weary eyes.  they got very tired of seeing what is happening to this country.  alas,  i have them open again and here we go again.

i read a lot of commentary that speaks to the “electability” of certain republican candidates.  polls that show head to head match ups with papa barack are often used to back up this view.  i don’t know who will come out of the pack to be the standard bearer for the repubs, but i believe they will be very electable.  seriously, if anyone should have electability issues, it should be the emperor-who-had-no-clues occupying the white house.

i talk to folks who believe and fear he will win another term. some speak as if it is inevitable.  i just respond with a very incredulous “really?.  is it possible the majority of americans haven’t noticed the past three years?  his record of suing states that pass legal,  citizen supported laws while abusing the power of his office to the point of failing to uphold his constitutional duties. he refuses to enforce laws he disagrees with while acting outside of his legal authority.

let’s take the issue of rising fuel prices.  he has said that he has no problem with high gas prices. he welcomes them. in his mind, financially crippling gas prices will expedite his desire that we quit using fossil fuels.  global warming ya know.  he rewards his campaign contribution bundlers with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for failing green energy programs while demonizing oil companies for being greedy.  these green companies go under,  his buddies gain millions, the taxpayers lose and nothing is accomplished to eliminate the need for fossil fuels.

his energy secretary told a congressional committee hearing that there was no effort in place to reduce gas prices.  their only focus is on green energy.  epa regulations, no or slow permitting for gulf drilling and blocking the keystone pipeline are direct attacks on american pocketbooks and this means nothing to his electability?  prices at the pump are going up at an alarming rate but it is the republicans that have electability issues?

i admit, i compare papa barack with dictators often.  it is so easy to do.  he acts against the laws of the land and no one is stopping him.  i have another comparison.  remember the legend about nero fiddling while rome burned?  rome did burn while he was emperor back in 64 a.d.  credible facts support the claim that nero set the fires so he could use the area to build a new palace and then blamed the christians.  they were then banished from rome by this tyrant.  sounds mighty similar to emperor-in-chief  papa barack and how he blames repubs for all of the disaster he himself causes.

emperor papa barack is fiddling with the very foundations of the constitution and the truths that have made us the most decent, responsible and greatest nation in the history of the world.  he is doing it by changing what is right and calling it wrong. then he calls what is wrong,  right.  the prophet isaiah said it in chapter five and verse twenty in the book by his name,

” woe to those who call evil good and good evil……………………..”

when GOD says woe to someone they should be very, very afraid. 

we must not allow the media (who at one time were the watchdogs of liberty now they are just lap dogs) tell us who is electable.  we are the one’s with the ballot.  we must exercise this great privilege to prevent the destruction of what many have given their lives to preserve.  america doesn’t have to look very hard to see that four more years of emperor papa barcack and we will return to the horse and buggy days.  no,  make that the buggy days.  his lunatic animal rights supporters would never allow horses to be used like that.

open eyes can see a great many things.  i believe when gas prices hit five or six dollars this summer the emperor will truly be found to have no clothes, no clues and being elected the proverbial dog catcher will be out of reach.

i hope i am seen as the voice of one crying in the wilderness. (see isaiah 40:3)  this is really GOD’S earth and HE has allowed america to achieve greatness because our founders honored HIM.  i am sorry to tell my democrat friends out there,  that there is no room for GOD in the big tent of the leftist party.  open your eyes and share the truth with everyone.

may we regain our country and may GOD bless america  again.

adios for now

a happy st. valentine’s day to you all.  i know the “st.” has been dropped recently because there are many who desire to have any reference to anything ‘christian’ eradicated from our memory and vocabulary.  i believe that is why there are so many tebow haters.

folks who deny JESUS as the SON of THE  LIVING GOD don’t want to hear HIM proclaimed. the fact is, according to the WORD of GOD, they don’t have the ability to recognize this truth. (john 6:44)  folks who believe in this JESUS have no choice but to proclaim HIM. (matt 10: 32/33)  so when tebow gives glory to GOD, folks are offended.  they don’t like the fact that he  believes so strongly in his faith and practices what it teaches. JESUS said in that same tenth chapter of matthew this would happen. stand for JESUS and you will put yourself in the cross hairs of unbelievers. prominent christians in sports, entertainment and politics run the risk of alienating fans and followers when they make known their beliefs.

i am quite sure the next rising star to hit the sports world will soon find this truth out for himself.  jeremy lin, point guard for the new york knicks has seemingly come out of nowhere to become an overnight sensation.  lin,  the son of taiwanese immigrants, is quickly making is mark in the n.b.a.   not only is he the first asian-american basketball player, he is also a committed christian.  he also wishes to emulate tim tebow when it comes to proclaiming the gospel from the platform that GOD has given him.  link to this story follows .

http://www.christianpost.com/news/jeremy-lin-inspired-by-tim-tebows-impact-on-and-off-the-field-69172/

even though he is doing amazing things on the basketball court you can bet he will be offending folks as he uses this platform.  his story is one of defying conventional wisdom overcoming great odds to succeed.  i pray he, tim tebow and all christians in the public eye will stand strong in the criticism that will follow them.

that brings me to the continuing attack on the constitution and the guarantees contained therein.  papabarack has decided that the first amendment does not apply to his agenda.  it covers, in part, the free exercise of religion.  his mandate that religious institutions offer free contraceptives, abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization tramples on this right.  the response to his mandate was swift and loud.  he came out with a “compromise” shortly thereafter that didn’t change one thing. it still requires religious institutions surrender their rights to his demands. 

now the narrative has changed to emphasize only the contraceptive part of this mandate.  basically, these right wing christian nuts don’t want women to have contraception.  the forces of evil are always at work.  they are intent on taking all freedom from all americans except themselves.

i pray that all christians will pray, speak out and take action.   it is important enough that we rise together and not wake up tomorrow to find the mess we have bequeathed to our children and grandchildren because of our neglect.

our rights are GOD given not government given.  we allow the government to replace GOD and they will take away rights as they choose.

may GOD bless and guide us all.

adios for now

here are some quotes from c. s. lewis

well, i have to admit i am kind of confused.  i was all set to watch the state of the union address tonight.  i had plans to blog about the president’s fictional view of america’s condition. i was sitting right there in front of the high def flat screen at 8 pm central time, just like the tv guide said.  then i became confused.

i am not sure if it was national geographic channel or animal planet but all of a sudden it had to be.  one of them must have pre-empted the state of the union address. 

well friends,  let me tell you what i saw….  it must have been the worlds’ largest snake pit.  i am serious.  there had to be more than five hundred of them in that pit.  it looked like some kind of rattlesnake roundup or serpent convention.

oh brother, there was one particularly scary looking one right in front of the pit.  he kept on hissing and hissing.  i was trying to read his slippery snake lips but that forked tongue kept getting in the way.  i am not really sure but it seemed like he was referencing some kind of a pot???  he kept hissing and hissing and i got the impression he was upset about something. 

seemed to me he was disturbed about not having something. wait there he goes again.  yeah, yeah, that might be it.  he seems to be  unhappy about not having a pot to hiss in.

well,  i just might have nightmares tonight after seeing that many snakes in one place.  especially that really dangerous looking one who got most of the camera time.  i don’t know how many of you saw what i saw, but i hope you can sleep better than i will tonight.

sorry i couldn’t give you my thoughts on the state of the union.  it’s just english is my native tongue and i have always had problems understanding hiss.

thank you and goodnight and may GOD bless america.

adios for now

upon further review i have found it necessary to make this correction.  i admit i misread a line in the article.  it appears there are five of these behemoths in our midst.  oh the humanity.  head for the hills.  my mistake was an honest one.  that is where the difference lies.  speaking of lies…….. never mind.  it doesn’t change the point.   but i do want to correct any mistake or factual error. 

my bad.

adios for now
