Philosophy of a WARRIOR:
If you can make peace, a fair accord, make peace.
If you can walk away from the fight, walk away.
If you can run, run.
If you are attacked, defend.
...If your life is threatened, Defend will all due diligence until that threat is assuaged. And if that means taking the life of someone that tried to do YOU, YOUR FAMILY or YOUR COUNTRY harm. Then let God judge their blood.
The problem with the Islamic religion (Political state), there is NO chance for a real peace accord and there NEVER will be. They will say PEACE with a knife in the other hand. They will expect YOU to honor ALL of your agreements while they HONOR NONE of theirs

At a gut level most left-wing environmentalists know that they’re liars. Intellectually they might have somehow convinced themselves that Mother Earth is in some sort of man-made peril, but deep down inside where the truth won’t be denied, these liars know they’re lying — know that the “green moveme...

Various polls report that George W. Bush in some states is now better liked than President Obama. Even some liberal pundits call for Bush, the now long-missed moderate, to draw on his recognized tolerance and weigh in on the Ground Zero mosque or the Arizona anti-immigration legislation.
“Just tell the people that the White House and Democrats will try and control the media dynamic and narrative. This is what they do. They don’t really know how to govern for the public good; if they could do that, they would be in better shape. What they do know to do is use media events to hold ont...

Remember Vanity Fair (you know–the stale, old magazine that no one buys unless they are on the cover or they are wishing they were, like Joy Behar)? The recent hit piece on Sarah Palin by Michael Joseph Gross reveals that they must be as desperate as the rest of the MSM for sales/ratings, because t...
Rich Lowry writes on NRO: The much-analyzed speeches at the Glenn Beck Lincoln Memorial rally weren’t as notable as what the estimated 300,000 attendees did: follow instructions, listen quietly to hours of speeches, and throw out their trash. Just as stunning as the tableaux of the massive throngs...

In the first four parts of this essay I touched on some of the things that are wrong with the American educational system. (And I only scratched the surface, really — one could make a career out of documenting endemic flaws in our schools.) But focusing on the negative and complaining
When we lived in Germany where there was no Sunday Shopping we really liked it. Forced us to stay home or spend the day in Church. I believe this is a positive thing. Why do we NEED to shop for anything on Sundays?

If the traditional day of rest and worship has become your day to shop, it may be taking a toll on your happiness.
I have KNOWN people who were there. People who have been alive in my lifetime. One of the benefits of age is you were there when. I remember TRUMAN for goodness sake. This kind of thing is not only evil, it's the BIG LIE. Lies and half truths are the currency of the anti Christ spirit alive today. Watch any MSM newscast.
"The Holocaust is nothing but superstition, but Zionists say that people of the world should be forced to accept this," he was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.
A labor day reminder: Half of all union members in the U.S. live in just six states:
California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Those are the same states in the most economic trouble except for Michigan which was recently edged out by Connecticut. I'm not anti union, I'm anti corrupt union... which apparently is all we have. The SEIU has bankrupted government. Happy Labor Day
The Devil doesn't need the kind of Help these "Christians" offer free of charge. I commented on a link to a blog and in the process of looking things up for my comment I ran across this long tirade of pretty much everything most of us hold dear in the faith. I guess some people just have the only corner on the truth.... (Sarcasm) I offer this as a negative example of how hard some people will work to tear down any move of God. And the Devil just smiles. SHAME! Spiritual Blindness is a self inflicted wound sometimes.

If James Lee were a Tea Partier, there would be unceasing cries of banning Fox News, firing and arrests of Palin and Beck, Congressional hearings, Congressional resolutions, civil lawsuits, endless editorials and articles, demands for every Republican on the planet to renounce the Partiers, and a new campaign logo brea...thing life into Dems just in time for fall midterms.
With tongue-in-cheek, Glenn Reynolds wrote: “The environmental movement needs to bring its hate-filled rhetoric under control, before it’s too late. There are too many potential James Lees out there, and some of them may be more competent than Lee was. Don’t encourage them

The French people have become increasingly fed up with what they see as the growing Islamization of France.
I have been reading a great deal about THORIUM reactors. It appears to be a magic bullet. I wonder if it is. I have friends who are interested in these things as I am. Chuck Comstock and Terry Bobzien will find this interesting. Maybe this whole energy thing is about to be solved.
Nuclear energy produces no greenhouse gases, but it has many drawbacks. Now a radical new technology based on thorium promises what uranium never delivered: abundant, safe and clean energy - and a way to burn up old radioactive waste.

Vanishing of jobs will plague the rest of this decade and more. Meaningful employment is no longer guaranteed to dutiful, studious members of the middle class in the Western world. College education, which was hugely expanded after World War II and sold as a basic right, is doing a poor job of prepa...

Last August (2009) I wrote a post entitled “Have We Already See the Abomination of Desolation?” (In hindsight, I probably should have titled it “Have We BEEN Seeing…”, for the issues at hand have been festering for ~40 and arguably 50 years here.)

Analyst: Oil Should Be $10 A Barrel
No, you didn't misread the headline. Energy analyst Peter Beutel thinks the price of a barrel of oil would be just $10 if it weren't an investment instrument because we've got more of it than ever. [CNBC]
How do you think it went from $70/bbl to $140/bbl and back down again in little over a year?
Go ahead, read on.
I dare you not to get angry.

A Voice From The Past That's Warning America
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

HOW TO CUT out of control government spending.
I’m always amused when I talk about returning to small government with some big government leftist and they ask (seriously!), what would you cut? Implying that there is nary an ounce of fat on the beast. My reply is usually “Give me a copy of the budget and a red pen and I’ll have the budget in surplus with room for a large tax-cut by dinner.”
Dept of Education – gone
Dept of Energy – gone
Dept of Labor – gone
Dept of HHS – gone
Dept of HUD – gone
EPA and OSHA - gone
AM TRACK - Sold to Private for a Dollar
National Endowment for the ARTS and NPR - Gone
Dept of Agriculture - Gone
SBA - Gone
Weather Bureau - Gone
Homeland security folded into Dept of Defense, duplicate functions eliminated
Dept of Defense (even though I think it’s one of the few legitimate things the Feds do, can eliminate a fair amount of waste as well and probably provide better defense for half the cost. Increase soldiers pay and eliminate the pork weapons systems)
Dept of Veterans affairs – also eliminate lots of waste and fold essential veterans services back into Dept of Defense
3 day a week post office delivery. Charge EXTRA for home delivery. Push towards Centralized mail pick up.
Exit the UN, let the third world thugs who drive its agenda pay for it. Sell the prime riverfront real estate in NYC. Start cutting foreign aid radically. We overdo it.
Medicare, Medicaid, So-so security – put all the liabilities back on budget so people know what’s actually been promised and why there’s no way we can pay it, start raising eligibility requirements and reducing benefits and begin privatization ala Chile so that people actually do have trust fund accounts and younger employees don’t get stuck with a 40 year savings account with a negative interest rate.
That should more than eliminate the deficit and that’s without the budget and a red pen.
If I think of more or if you can, let me know. Time to cut out the stupid. The way you get out of debt is to quit spending money.
