Mark Sanford Deserves a Chance


I'll confess that I was glad that Mark Sanford won the special election for Congress. That's one less vote for Nancy Pelosi.

I am also disappointed that the national GOP leaders did not help him to get elected.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/05/07/mark-sanford-colbert-busch-congress-election-south-carolina/2140591/

Many are not happy that a man won that has had moral failures.

Actually, Mark Sanford is probably more morally fit than many of the people God worked with. King David comes to mind. Also, there is no doubt that he is more morally fit than many past and present politicians - including several presidents.

Jesus saved a woman from being stoned who was caught in adultery. He challenged her accusers by telling those without sin to cast the first stone. One by one the stones dropped. He then told the woman to go and sin no more.

Rep Sanford is a young guy and I have hopes he will serve well in Congress and live a life that he and the voters can be proud of.

Christians and Politics

I've decided to start posting about politics strictly from a Christian perspective. I believe the Bible - both the Old Testament and the New Testament. I also believe what Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:16 (NIV)

The reason for this change in my posting is that I fear for my country. I see a decay in the culture which effects and is affected by government and I believe that the decline in the United States is because we have moved away from Christian values.

At the same time, politicians are running away from Christian values because they believe that they are not popular. It is ironic, in my view, that the only solution to the problem of decline is to restore Christian values.

I hope and pray that more Bible believing Christians, including pastors, will be involved in politics by speaking out, voting and even running for elected office. I intend to highlight those that take a stand for Jesus.

"Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain."

Psalm 127:1a (NIV)

Politics and Religion

John MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley California, gave a sermon titled "Homosexuality and the Campaign for Immorality" on Sep 23, 2012. A portion of it was printed in Billy Graham's November 2012 Decision Magazine that we just received. I could not find a text version online. The following link of the video will lead to the entire sermon. It is long but worth taking the time to watch and listen.

Support for Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh is under attack for recent comments he made about a young lady who wanted to advocate before Congress for free contraception under Catholic health insurance policies.

Click here for an overview of that story.

The point Rush was making was valid but his choice of words to describe the young lady were crude.

Now, the left is up in arms and are calling for advertisers to drop Rush's radio show. Many advertisers have already done that.

Many have set up web sites to that end. That is their right.

I searched the Internet for web sites that support Rush and found very few. I find that sad.

I find Rush Limbaugh to be a voice of reason in a world that has gone mad. I personally will not support advertisers who have dropped Rush's show.

I add this post so there will be one more place on the Internet that can be found that supports Rush Limbaugh.

Attack on Social Security

Commentators and politicians of both parties keep on referring to a "payroll tax cut". This is extremely deceptive. Finally someone is telling the truth. Rush is right. It amazes me that seniors are not marching on Washington to stop the attack on Social Security and Medicare. Where is the AARP on this?

Newt Gingrich - Breaking Eggs

Here we go again. Now that Herman Cain has pulled out of the Republican nomination race, Newt Gingrich is coming under attack. Senator Tom Coburn is in the news now with one of the first salvos.

Coburn told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace: "I'm not inclined to be a supporter of Newt Gingrich's having served under him for four years and experienced personally his leadership...I found it lacking often times." He went on: "There's all types of leaders. Leaders that instill confidence. Leaders that are somewhat abrupt and brisk. Leaders that have one standard for the people they are leading and a different standard for themselves. I just found that his leadership lacking."
Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/69731.html#ixzz1fa4bBoo1

Translated: "Newt is too mean". Chris Wallace summed up my feelings when interviewed later on Sunday Fox and Friends where he defended the former Speaker of the House: "Sometimes you have to break some eggs to make an omelet".

We've had enough of "weak-kneed" leaders. If we have any chance at all of turning the country around we need a leader who can lead.

Newt Gingrich - Rising From the Ashes

Are the dry bones coming back to life?

Political pundits are taking notice of a recent bump former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is getting in the polls.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/10/a-newt-gingrich-boomlet/

I keep on hearing the talking heads say that Newt is the smartest candidate, but he has baggage. I remember what they are referring to, but I wonder how many others remember or even care in these times.

Is history repeating?

Winston Churchill sat as a non-paid "backbencher" in Parliament for years warning from the fringes of power about the rising Nazi threat. Nobody wanted to hear his pessimism and negativity.

When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 and WW2 started, Winston, then an old man, was pulled from the ashes and was given his old post from WW1 as First Lord of the Admiralty.

Then, the very day that Nazi tanks stormed into France in 1940, the King named Winston Churchill Prime Minister. It has been said that the only man Hitler feared in England was Winston Churchill.

When a building is burning and you know a man with a fire hose, you don't worry if he has "baggage" from the past.

Recent polls tell us that Americans most are very scared. The world economy is crashing and our enemies are growing in power. The wolves are at the door and the knees of our "so called" leaders are shaking.

Are more Americans waking up? When they watch and listen to the Republican debates, do they see a man who can stop wolves? Is that man Newt Gingrich?

I think so.

Go Green or Face a Space Alien Attack?

I just read an article titled: "Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists".

The authors of the study written about are from Penn State and NASA. They suggest that aliens (not the illegal type coming from Mexico) might attack and destroy us because of global warming. A link to the full study follows.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1104/1104.4462.pdf

As an alum of Penn State, I am embarrassed about the Penn State connection, but not surprised. Global warming alamists will say anything to scare us into ruining our economy by regulating carbon dioxide.

I am more afraid of global warming alarmists like these authors and Al Gore than space aliens.

Don't hold your CO2-laced breath until ET arrives and is appointed by Obama to head the EPA. LOL.


UPDATE - One of the authors of the report is "affiliated" with NASA. The report is not a NASA report. Click here for more information.

Rick Perry - Pious or Political?

I first though the following article in the Washington Post was tongue-in-cheek, but I finally concluded that the author was serious. Can you imagine that Gov. Perry called for a prayer event and missed the opportunity to be political? Or was he just very, very clever?

Click here to read an article titled "Piety is the policy at Rick Perry’s prayer rally". I especially like these quotes:

"Yet what Governor Perry did Saturday is unusual in the history of presidential campaigns, at least recent ones. He engaged in extended citation of passages from Joel, Isaiah and Ephesians. He would reel off immense chunks of Scripture--without any interpretation whatsoever, as if the verses were self-explanatory"

"If he intends on using the religion card effectively beyond the Iowa and South Carolina caucuses and primaries Governor Perry will have to come up with something more inclusive than this."

Is it possible that the good Governor called for the prayer event because he realized that America needs God?

Tea Party Hobbits and the Ring

Recently, John McCain caused an uproar by calling Tea Party people "hobbits". Click here. I just can’t see why he made so many angry. In my view, he made either an unintended or very clever complement to the Tea Party.

Author J. R. R. Tolkien created the hobbit character. In his famous work, The Lord of the Rings, the hero was hobbit Frodo Baggins. He saved Northwest Middle-earth from Sauron, the Dark Lord and titular Lord of the Rings.

Frodo was the consummate good guy. Honest and true, he was as much the "salt of the earth" as Tea Party people are today. His home, the Shire, exemplified today’s Middle America, where many Tea Party people live. (Liberals call this "fly over country")

Washington, DC can be likened to Mordor, home of the evil Lord Sauron (you decide who he is like today) who wanted to control all Northwest Middle-earth by possessing the Ring. (Like power politicians lust for today)

Frodo, the hero hobbit, was able to save Northwest Middle-earth by destroying the Ring in the fire of Mount Doom in Mordor. (Like an election and change today)

It seems that John McCain has illuminated the way to salvation for America – The Tea Party Hobbits.

Will the real Frodo please stand up? Please!!!

Is There a CFL in Our Future?

Since Congress couldn't pass a law to save our old light bulbs, as a public service, I direct you to a government site for info on how to clean up a broken Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb (CFL). Click here.

Also, if a CFL stops working and needs to be disposed, go to this government site.

As a side note, two of our CFL's stopped working after a very short life. We found our local disposal site at the police department parking lot. (The receptionist at the police department was not amused when I brought in a CFL asking for information)

Don't Worry. Obama Knows Better,

Michael Goodwin voted for Obama, but finally the scales fell off his eyes and the wax dropped out of his ears.

"When President Obama started talking at his news conference Monday, I listened intently for 15 minutes or so. Then I got fidgety as his half-truths about the debt grew into full-blown whoppers. As he droned on, I did something I never did before during an Obama appearance: I turned off the TV.
Enough. He is the Man Who Won't Listen to Anybody, so why should anybody listen to him?
Tuning out and turning off the president does not fill me with gladness. He cannot be ignored.
But for now, I will leave that unhappy duty to others. I am tired of Barack Obama. There's nothing new there. His speeches are like "Groundhog Day."

Ouch! Read more here.

But I'm "so glad" (sarcasm) that BHO is there to watch out for us. He cares.

“Let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large. You know, the public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury auction goes. They shouldn’t. They’re worrying about their family, they’re worrying about their jobs. They’re worrying about their neighborhood. They have got a lot of other things on their plate. We’re paid to worry about it.”

Rick Perry for President (of Texas?)

A recent Wall Street Journal article titled "The Lone Star Jobs Surge" reported that "The Texas model added 37% of all net U.S. jobs since the recovery began."

The article shows how striking these number are by looking at the other two most populated states.

"What explains this Lone Star success? Texas is a big state, but its population of 24.7 million isn't that much bigger than the Empire State, about 19.5 million. California is a large state too—36.9 million—and yet it's down 11,400 jobs."

Read the full story here.

It was unstated in the article who the governor was during this time period. However, it was not missed by political pundits that these numbers beg for a Texas Gov. Rick Perry presidential candidacy in 2012. Today, I watched a discussion of this on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

Add to this that conservative Newt Gingrich's fortunes seem to be tanking after a mass exodus of his senior staff, and a Rick Perry run looks like a real possibility.

If Perry tosses his hat in the ring, Tea Party activists will no doubt jump for joy, but Perry's opponents will surely call him out for extreme statements like suggesting that Texas could secede from the union.

"But, before folks outside Texas (which is still a state, although Perry has threatened secession) get too excited, perhaps we should let them know just what might be in store for them if Perry ends up in the race for president or, God forbid, actually becomes president."

Read the full "kind of" snarky article here.

A Perry candidacy would add some sizzle to the Republican primary race that so far has left many yawning. I hope he gets in.

Social Security Benefits as "Handouts"

This morning I sent the following e-mail to Neil Cavuto of Fox News.

Neil,

I hear commentators on TV - even on "Cavuto on Business" this morning - speak of government "handouts" many times. Social Security benefits and Medicare benefits seemed to be lumped into that category by one of your commentators. (You were absent on that show)

The other day I was shredding old pay stubs. I was shocked when I saw that I was paying several hundred dollars in Social Security and Medicare taxes every two weeks. That does not even include my employer’s matching payments. I worked for over 40 years and had no choice but to pay these taxes.

There are many appropriate examples of handouts. My favorite one is the earned income credit where one who qualifies does not pay income taxes but gets a check back from the IRS. (better called welfare) Social Security payments and Medicare benefits are not examples of handouts.

Characterizing these payments as "handouts" is like calling a person who saves their hard earned money in a bank, a bank robber, when they draw out their own money.

Now that I receive a very modest Social Security payment, (now taxed as income), and find that my wife and I must pay several hundred dollars a month for Medicare Part B, characterizing such benefits as "handouts" is adding insult to injury.


PS - I watch your afternoon show almost everyday. Please consider addressing this in one of your editorials.

CFLs and Reading by Firelight

We have a couple of the new compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). I have a hard time reading with them so I've stockpiled the old fashioned kind for reading.

Now it seems the best idea is to just don't turn them on in the first place.

According to a new report, "the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone’s head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on."

Read about it here.

Not sure what I'll do when my old light bulbs become unlawfull. I'll have to take a lesson from ole Abe, and read by the fireplace at night. Might get kind of hot in the summertime, but a lot better than getting poisoned.

Please, Please, Please Buy a Chevy Volt

Headline:

"GM sells just 281 Chevy Volts in February"

http://green.autoblog.com/2011/03/01/gm-sells-281-chevy-volts-february-nissan-67-leafs/

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease buy a Chevy Volt so President Obama can give away more of our money ($7,500 for each Volt) so we can be a "green" country. (I am turning green thinking about this)


UPDATE on Windmills: They now are on the edge of my town. Yesterday, I drove through that very large windmill farm and NOT ONE windmill blade was moving. In fact, I haven't seen one blade turning anywhere we've gone the past few months. While Obama is punishing the oil companies, the real Lord has stopped the wind.

But if you do want electricity that way, buy one for yourself for a cool $32,670.00 (or more) and start blowing.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120690317552

You just might be able to plug your Volt in it. But wait for 10 hours before it takes you 40 miles on a charge. But good news, the gas engine kicks in - oh, I forgot - BHO, the enemy of fossil fuels, has made gas prices "necessarily skyrocket".

As for me and my wife, we'll dump our bad, bad, bad gas guzzlers and for our vacation in Florida next year, we'll "bike it" - but we better start tomorrow. LOL.


After we are back, we can put our bikes to good use. Go green!

Chaos and Democracy

Definition of DEMOCRACY

"a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/democracy


A free election was held in a place. The people spoke. In the people's house a vote was taken on a bill and it passed. Following is what happened.





In the upper house of this place, the minority upper house people fled the place to another place and are in hiding. A vote could not be taken.


Chaos breaks out around the world.




Can you tell where video one was taken? Can you tell in video two which place has a democracy? Are you confused yet?

Another Health Care Plan Falls

Another health care plan bites the dust - and it's a big one.

State Farm Insurance retired workers recently found out that if they are "Medicare-eligible" they will lose their supplemental medical coverage next year and will have to find it elsewhere. The insurance giant is located in Bloomington, IL State Farm is the largest property casualty in the USA. Read about it here.

Many conservatives warned that Obama-Care would drive private insurance out of the market. Obama promised that it wouldn't.

"no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works." Read the full article here.

This plan is not the first to fall and probably won't be the last.

By Faith a 79-year-old Retired Preacher Ran Off a Burglar with a Knife

These days many feel helpless because of crime related to the sinking economy. The weak feel especially vulnerable. But this time a retired 79-year-old nurse/preacher stood up and ran off a burglar with a 12" ‘Crocodile Dundee’ knife – after being knocked down and maced twice. It's an amazing story that needs to be retold.

Many stories have been written about this, but take a look at a new TV Interview with this hero. Read and watch here.

Doris Ranson gave this advice:

"I would say ladies be sure that you've got your protection. Have something that you can protect yourself with. Don't be afraid to fight back and trust the Lord to take care of you."

Veteran's Day Reminder from Franklin Delano Roosevelt

FDR:

"Those Americans who believed that we could live under the illusion of isolationism wanted the American eagle to imitate the tactics of the ostrich. Now, many of those same people, afraid that we may be sticking our necks out, want our national bird to be turned into a turtle. But we prefer to retain the eagle as it is -- flying high and striking hard."

Train Wreck Coming

People are fed up with excuses from the administration. The argument "It's Bush's fault" sounds foolish when bad things are happening and prospects for "change" for the better seem very unlikely any time soon. Where do I start?

I guess the economy is a good place.

"The federal debt will represent 62% of the nation's economy by the end of this year, the highest percentage since just after World War II, according to a long-term budget outlook released today by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office."

Read the full article reported by USA Today here.

Ouch - and that shocking bad news does not even include the other expected out-of-control programs, like health care and cap-and-trade (if it passes).

Sen. Judd Gregg was quoted in the same article warning of the train wreck coming. (If you remember, Greg was "almost" made a cabinet secretary in the Obama administration, until he wisely pulled out.)

"The driver of this debt is spending,..Our existing debt will be worsened by the president's new health care entitlement programs…as well as an explosion in existing health care and retirement entitlement spending as the Baby Boomers retire."

Oh yeah Mr. President, did you 'Plug The Damn Hole' yet? More on that later in another post.

Read My Lips - More Taxes Only for the Rich

Then:

"I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." - Barack Obama, February 4, 2009

And Now:

“The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table,” the president said in the interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions.”

Huh? Read the whole article on BusinessWeek.com here.


By the way, if you use an indoor tanning salon you will be paying a new 10 percent federal tax as a result of the new health-care law. Read about that here.

Oh, and do you remember the Obama increase in the federal tax on cigarettes last year? Read about that here.

I wonder if any working class people smoke cigarettes or use tanning salons?

If you think that the cigarette and tanning salon taxes are the only tax increases for the "less than rich" from the the president and the Dems, I have some swampland in Florida I would like to sell you.

We Need a Winston Churchill Today

Because of the many troubles in the world today, I've been reading a lot recently about and by Winston Churchill. I found the following quote he made and posted it on Facebook.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is
also what it takes to sit down and listen.”


My son commented on that post: "Who said that and where is my chair?"

This is how I responded:

The quote was by Winston Churchill; two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern Ireland). (1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955.)

Now sit down.

No one would listen to Churchill when he warned Parliament about Hitler many times after March 1935 when Hitler broke the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.

Parliament sat down and listened when the Nazi army invaded France 10 May 1940. Churchill was made Prime Minister of the United Kingdom the same day.

The lesson was learned too late. Estimates of civilian and military deaths in WWII are 60,000,000 more or less.

My Dad once said that those that fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. I pray that there is a Churchill out there today.

WWII cost my Dad 6 years of his life. Thank God he survived because if he didn’t, there wouldn’t be a Jr. or the 3rd.

Thanks for listening. Love you lots son.

I am "the Jr." and he is "the 3rd." - and he has two wonderful children.

Two Views of Government Run Healthcare

Two Views of Government Run Healthcare.

One view makes you cry.




One view tells you the truth.




I would say that most Americans care about the healthcare situation. History has shown that socialism is a nice idea but almost always fails. Sadly, Spain and Greece are finding that out now.

The Democrat majority could pass government socialized medicine if they wanted, since they have super majorities in both both houses of Congress. They can no longer blame the Republicans. It's "The People" who are stopping this.

The Democrats would do well to take a real hard look at Republican suggestions for health care reform and stop making "tear jerking" arguments that will not work - and most likely would force the country into a depression that would change the United States forever.

A quote from Winston Churcill says it well.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
