A place for me to pour out my rants without clogging the inboxes of my friends and family. Also a place to give info on myself and Mary, our family news and events.

I see nothing wrong with Believers, working in and for a government based on free choice, invoking the aid of a deity in day-to-day dealings. What's so wrong with asking Divine guidance for help in our affairs of state? Some of you are so afaid of us becoming theocracy; that's crap and you know it. This nation existed for 186 years before the church-state debate really got going in the early 1960s. In fact, we resisted putting a Catholic in the Oval Office, because Papal influence was so...

A transcript taken from www.rushlimbuagh.com: RUSH: This is one of those stories you find and say: Okay, glad I have a radio show tomorrow. "Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after..." This is an ABC story, by the way. "Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings — even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from...

LOUIS FARRAKAN: "I heard from a very reliable source that under that levee, there was a 25-foot hole, which suggested that it may have been blown up, so that the water would destroy the black part of town, and where the whites were, it would be dry. I am sure that some good is being done, but not nearly enough to answer the cry." Now, I'd like to know the same thing Rush Limbaugh asked: just how the hell the water would know which neighborhoods to destroy and which to leave dry. Is wate...

According to a news item I heard this morning (and I wish I had a link to support this, but I don't---if anyone can locate one, please post it), the Red Cross reports that workers were ready and in position to deliver water, food, supplies and other amenities to the Superdome, but were disallowed and turned away by representatives of the Louisiana Dept. of Homeland Security (in other words, the LA branch of FEMA), who feared that bringing more supplies might draw more people to the "shelter", ...

Disclaimer: this may not apply to you. If it does, you'll know it...if not...my apologies. A few summers ago, when I was still working at a restaurant back home, a little boy came in, as he had every day that summer, to purchase his usual, a medium chocolate shake, double cheeseburger and large fries. He was a nice little kid from Florida, who, he’d once related to us as he awaited his order being filled, stayed one month at the beginning of every summer with his grandparents there in W...

Two fags are holding hands, walking on the beach, when one of them trips and falls. There, sticking out of the sand, is a Genie Lamp. Thinking how divine it would look on the mantle, he begins dusting it off. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Lamp. "Greetings….thank you for freeing me from my prison; for this, I will grant you one wish; but only one, so choose carefully." The two faggots put their heads together and consider their choices. Finall...

Graduation season rolls around once more, and the hunt goes out for significant, influential names to fill the cards as inspirational speakers. According to Bill O’Reilley’s article last week, the liberal Left has been honored time and again, with (accepted) invitations for Hillary to speak the Truths As She Knows Them at Adelphi University, while Chuck Schumer’s hateful venting will doubtlessly motivate and inspire the fiery youth at Buffalo State. Barbara Boxer will spout her rhetoric at...

I work two jobs; 3 evenings a week, I work 5 hours at a Dollar General. On the counter beside the registers are boxes of those "ribbon" magnets..... red, white and blue, star-bedecked "God Bless America", "Pray for our troops", etc. Also in the box, in the interest of fairness perhaps, are ones (mainly) for those who don't support the current trend toward patriotic militarism These are plain, bland, baby-blue magnets which read "Bring our troops home safely". Nothing at all wrong with that ...

In a little over four months, five years will have passed since those dark hours on September 11th, 2001. It's already been nearly half a decade. Time flies. Since then, we've invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, two pillars of the ideal known as Islamic Terrorism. Debate that point all you want, but that's why we're there. Bin-Laden is still at large, of course, sending, to our "allies" at al-Jazeera, his infrequent messages and threats. Al-Jazeera also gleefully plays the threats and messages se...

This article, I suppose, should really be posted in the "Religion" forum, but since it involves an aspect of the "Liberal/Conservative" thing, I thought I'd post it here, in "Politics". I brought this subject up a few weeks ago in my Sunday School class, which is instructed by our church's Worship Leader, Lynne. She is also the Pastor's wife, and is very passionate in her faith. I liked what she had to say, and asked her to write it down and forward it to me for posting here. I'm waitin...

Okay, Lefites.....sorry to be the one to pour salt on yet another of your snails, but the "failed" government in Iraq is at last beginning to take shape. All it takes is time, which you are not at all willing to give. Of course, this being an AP report, they had to temper this good news with a body count, but what else can we expect from the MSM? Iraqi Leaders End Deadlock Amid Violence By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's president designated Shiite politician ...

Hot off the AP wire: President George W. Bush has just announced that he WILL NOT be running in the 2008 Presidential Election. That’s right, America, he will NOT! "It saddens me to know that will not be running in the next election," Bush said. "I will no longer be your President from 2009 on. It will be someone else’s time." The Democrats, having focused and based their entire platform on the defeat of Bush in ’08, are said to be experiencing emotions ranging from flabbergasted and stun...

I've been away for a while, so if someone else noted this somewhere else, please to forgive. I heard on the radio a while back that the Washington Post has learned, from certain "intelligence analysts", that we'd better think twice about attacking Iran. Yes, sirree. If we take that road, these contacts assured the Post, we can definitely expect large numbers of terror attacks on American targets and interests in the West, including and especially inside the US. Yes, I can see that as...

Caution: Broad statements and vast generalizations ahead! Good: The Rainbow flag, Iraqi flag, USSR flag Bad: (Read: tacky) The American flag (and, really, any symbols of support for the nation and/or its present leadership or policies). Good: Marx and Lenin, Mao and Castro (after all, they supported or fought in the Worldwide Socialist Revolution against the evils of Capitalism and the Imperialist Western Democracies) Bad: Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton and Adams ...
