I'm a sympathetic fella but only offer a small warning, beware the Trojan Horse of Al Hijra.
White
House just announced it will seek to accept 10,000 refugees from Syria.
Just a numbers check, between 2008-2013 America accepted 115,617
refugees from the Middle East, 10,026 have been granted asylum. Of that
overall number 90% are on food stamps and 70% are on cash welfare. Yet,
as we have reported, Christians fleeing ISIS and the deplorable
situation in the Middle East are being denied entry into America.
This is our America? Christians get bullied and mocked on 'network TV'.
Over
the Labor Day weekend, Candace Cameron-Bure took to social media to ask
her fans for support and prayers. This won’t be easy for her — but it
will be worth...

OBAMA WEIGHED
There are many things good about President Obama. I think he is sincere in his warped view of the world.
He certainly loves his wife and children.
He loves to have a good time and can yuck it up. He can be very funny.
He Broke the Color Barrier for a black President.. it may be a while till the next.. but he did break it.
He demonstrates real humanity sometimes. Not often enough in my opinion, but he is able to do so.
When the Nation needed a dose of HOPE and CHANGE no matter how it came out he was there to build the belief that things could be better. Right man at the right time.
He has been pretty much an extension of George W Bush's Presidency. He didn't make a lot of radical moves quickly and he has been gracious not to directly criticize GWB.. even when he could have.
He has been quick to point to police abuses, there are some and they need to be pointed out.
So there is much to like and admire about him. YET there is the other side of the scale, the one that his supporters never seem to see or understand. He is a deeply flawed egotistical narcissist. Not unlike Donald Trump. For that reason, he continues to make mistakes that are profoundly damaging to the nation and the world.
His whole middle east demeanor, encouraging Arab Spring, helping to take out Ghadaffi in Libya leading to the Benghazi affair.
Allowing the EPA and it's global warming insanity to run unchecked. They are economic terrorists.
Amplifying the race issues in this nation where we are now so divided, worse than in 40 years, and he blames everyone but himself.
Announcing withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan which expanded the war, created an international crisis and encouraged the rise of ISIS while he has tried to arm them against Assad Syria. All the while NOT supporting our only real ally there, the Kurds. He is unique in always picking the wrong side. His lack of support for the current Egyptian government is weird.
His economic policies have been catastrophic for the nation. He is an unsure hand. He doesn't have advisers who know what they are doing.
He has been suckered in negotiations again and again and again. He seems to be unique in his incompetence and lack of will. The international stage thinks he is a fool. Russia has no respect for him at all. He is a guppy for every wave that goes by.
His lack of faith in free enterprise wrapped up in his deluded "You didn't build that" mantra.
All this blundering while he champions Islam in America, Homosex marriage, Queers in the Military, Abortion by the dead baby sellers and using the IRS to crush dissent, free speech and religious freedom. His Justice department is entering the KY County Clerk Fiasco. He is on the wrong side of almost everything.
He was inexperienced when he took office. We all understood this was going to be On the Job training since his whole life he had never had a real job and he was raised in a sheltered environment. His competence has not much improved. He's not a quick learner.
His legacy after being weighed will be rough on him. Real history will treat his time in office ultimately NEGATIVE for the catastrophe it has been. Oh, we'll survive him, I don't know if we can survive the fools that voted for him.. twice. The fact that they are still allowed to vote puts our nation at risk.

Judas Asparagus
If you need a laugh today, then this should do it!
A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible.
This is amazing and brought tears of laughter to my eyes. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching???
Through the eyes of a child:
The Children's Bible in a Nutshell
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.
These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.
Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum.
His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
The End!
Never Releasing Kills
Parents of Adult Children can be of huge disservice to them and end up killing them
Your job as a parent is to raise your kids the best you know how and then get out of the way. Let them stumble, fall, skin their knee, fail, get to the end of themselves. Stay out of their lives. Don't enable them. If they get into trouble, let them figure it out.
There are too many 40 somethings living at home not paying rent doing nothing but play video games all day or watch TV because dad and mom worry they wouldn't make it "out there". I have been a gardener most of my life and I know a nurtured fed and hothouse plant will die a quick death when taken into the real world under the sun and heat. Yet if that plant is allowed to undergo drought, cold, sun and moved carefully in a few months it can stand with it's fellow plants to endure the tough times.
I asked Parents recently who had a 40 something living rent free, not even contributing to the household expenses, "What is going to happen when you die?". They are much older than average. They won't be around long. Answer?? "I guess he will have to get a job and find a place to live". Then I said, "you are both gonna be dead in ten years.. and he will be on the streets worthless at 55 years old. You are a curse on his life". He will starve in the streets or be killed.
Parents, do you love your adult children enough to allow them to become adults??
- Not Releasing them
- Over Protecting them
- Not allowing them huge mistakes
- By enabling bad behaviors (SLOTH, Gluttony etc)
- Covering and shielding from bad outcomes
- Allowing them to stay at home beyond what should be normative (23-25)
- Offering Advice when Not Asked For

Kris Vallotton on Kim Davis
Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk, refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals. She choose to be jailed instead.
I admire people willing to go to jail for what they believe. Martin Luther King Jr went to prison for his convictions and later gave his life for them. But his sacrifice resulted in freedom for the African American people.
Religious freedom is being threatened in our country under the guise of gay prejudice. I am sorry, but whether you believe homosexuality is right or wrong, it is not an ethic group. Nor is there ANY evidence that it is genetically predetermined; it's a behavior, which many (including myself) believe is immoral.
Let me make it clear, homosexuality is no worse than adultery, pornography, fornication, pedophilia or any other immoral behavior, but it's no better, either.
So what's the big deal? The big deal is that nobody is trying to force Christians, Muslims, etc. to embrace any other immoral act as normal, healthy or okay.
America is about to wake the sleeping giant. She will fill every prison and every jail in this country with people with strong moral convictions. They will refuse to give up their right to decide their own moral convictions. Neither will they violate their conscience for the sake of their government.
Our country was founded on the foundation of religious freedom. It is guaranteed by our constitution.
You might not be religious, and I respect that, but our founding fathers were. If you are living in America, you need to know that it is "One Nation, Under God" (not gods). It's in this context that there is "liberty and justice for all." That's right, Christians gave you the right to choose!
When you take away a Believers right to live out their convictions, you are attacking the very foundations on which our country was established.
When our founding fathers separated church and state, they were not trying to keep the church out of the state! (Every American founding document has God embedded in it). They were trying to keep the state out of the church. Remember, we won our freedom from the British, whose government controlled their churches (not the other way around).
When state mandates undermine religious freedom, the separation of church and state has been violated in a way that our constitution was mean to prevent!
This isn't just about morality; it's about freedom of religion.
If you are "gay" in this county, you need to remember that it was the Christian value for freewill that gave you the right to behave as you choose.
There are no "gay rights" in communist China, homosexual is illegal in Russia, and in every Muslim nation in the world!
But in this nation, we believe in freedom; but one person's freedom must not imprison another person freewill, especially the freedom to practice their God given convictions as they see fit.

David Barton on the Jailing of Kim Davis.. very interesting reading
Perhaps the single most important issue in the Kim Davis situation (the County Clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky, who was jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses) -- an issue about which most observers and commentators have been completely silent -- is the flagrant violation of the constitutionally-mandated separation of powers.
By way of background, Federal Judge David Bunning ruled that Davis was in contempt of court, which a court can legitimately do. But he then ordered federal marshals enforce his decision and take her into custody, which he cannot do. Federal marshals are part of the Executive Branch, not the Judicial Branch; he has absolutely no authority to order any federal marshal to do anything.
Significantly, the Founders -- and thus the Constitution -- did not give power to the Judiciary to enforce any of its decisions -- they deliberately made it powerless in this regards. They made the Executive Branch alone responsible for enforcement.
So while Judge Bunning can (and did) issue his personal opinion regarding Kim Davis, his personal opinion does not have the force of law. (By the way, check any civics book: a law must originate as a measure proposed in the House or Senate, be passed by both, and then signed by the president. Only then and by this means does anything become law.) Bunning must thus ask (not order) the Executive Branch to enforce his opinion, and if it agrees, it can order its marshals to do so, but the Judicial Branch may order no such thing.
Sadly, not only did the Judicial Branch first take on itself the role of the Legislative Branch by issuing its ruling in the homosexual-marriage decision, but now it has assumed the role of the Executive Branch by attempting to enforce its own opinion. The Founding Fathers vehemently objected to this practice. As George Washington warned:
"[T]hose entrusted with its [the nation’s] administration [must] confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism."
James Madison similarly charged:
"The preservation of a free government requires not merely that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power be universally maintained but more especially that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great barrier which defends the rights of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such an encroachment exceed the commission from which they derive their authority and are tyrants. The people who submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves nor by an authority derived from them and are slaves."
Samuel Adams agreed:
"In all good governments, the Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary powers are confined within the limits of their respective departments. If therefore it should be found that . . . either of the departments aforesaid should interfere with another, it will, if continued, essentially alter the Constitution, and may, in time, . . . be productive of such convulsions as may shake the political ground upon which we now happily stand."
Thomas Jefferson thus admonished that we must "cleave to the salutary distribution of powers which that [i.e., the Constitution] has established" and that if we ever move away from its separation of powers that "we shall be in danger of foundering."
Perhaps political philosopher Charles de Montesquieu -- a favorite of the Founders, and the most-cited human source in the political writings of the Founding Era -- said it best when he declared:
"There is no liberty if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers."
So while the Kim Davis travesty continues, perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the entire controversy is that Judge Bunning personally ordered her to jail, thus blatantly violating one of the Constitution's most important provisions for securing the liberty of the entire people.
