So Simple A Child Could Understand

I thought of what to say here about Christmas this year and got a pit in my stomach. Not for loss of words to describe this beauty that is the birth of Christ, but at the overwhelming darkness that blinds the eyes of my fellow man. At the hate that keeps men from knowing God and the selfishness that keeps them from realizing their need of a savior. My prayer for all you who read this blog during the holidays is that God would awaken in you His Love and give to you what I and others have found in Him. I love that never, ever fails, a hope that assures us of right relationship with our creator, and a faith, as tiny as it is, that is implanted at birth and allows us if we would only ask, a place in God's kingdom.

I have never heard it put more simply than this...



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas Wishes

Um...So What?!?

File this under W for who gives a rat's *ss.

Can you believe people are actually saying there is a controversy brewing over an add in which Mike Huckabee invokes the name of Christ, and says that is what should be our focus? Oh wait, but that isn't even what all the hub-bubb is over. Huckabee actually had the audacity to include the image (either purposefully or not) of a floating cross in the background as he spoke. (hush falls over the crowd)... (Gasps and small children crying)...

Whoever started this flap ought to be Huckapunched in the Huckanose. What a bunch of wieners... Oh! Never mind, it was Ron Paul, big shocker there!

This Is Classic

Let's Not Forget The Planet KOLOB

Which is where Mitt Romney (and all Mormons for that matter) thinks our Creator God Lives and operates. Or the fact that he believes that Jesus is just one of many (g)ods, or that he believes you can become a (g)od by following certain steps to enlightenment.

I know, I know, you are saying "Tim, be a uniter, not a divider, it was a good speech!". I would say to you, yes, it was a good speech, and as Malkin said anything that emphasizes our founder's belief in true religious liberty is a good thing. But remember that this man is trying to get your vote for president, not stump for faith and family organizations, and while his speech may have been persuasive, his core beliefs make him in my book, as crazy as a sh*t house rat... Sorry

Dems Selective Memory, or Just the usual Hypocrisy?

Just my thought for the day...

The democrat Presidential candidates sure seem eager to believe the contents of the NIE when it supports their position or gives them a reason to bash the Republican administration. But when it doesn't... not so much

You Go Michelle!

I don't care what Fox News says about you, you kick butt dude!! Really, I mean who else but Malkin and pals would be able to bring us this: Dem Plants at Republican CCN/You Tube debate

You are a Patriot Michelle!! Thank You

Update 11/30/07 : More on CNN's Potted Plants from Malkin

Redacted Tanked!!!

Just like I predicted it would. But again a reminder, it was not for the reasons the left leaning media or the producers of the film will tell you. It is simply because even those who do not like the Iraq war, yet are reasonable people, do not wish to pay $11.50 on a Friday night to see our country and soldiers trashed by pretentious Hollywood elites who would not know real sacrifice if it walked up and stole their Gucci bags. See my other post for more...

Unpopular War or Blatant Anti-Americanism

It made around 26, 000 dollars in its' first weekend. So we are not talking about bad reviews here, we are talking about NOBODY going to see it. Based on the below review though I can't they would have been too pleased if they had.

Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times - "to sit through a motion picture as heavy-handed, didactic and rife with caricature as De Palma's is as frustrating as it is painful."

...and if the L.A.Times didn't even like it, sheesh!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today I am thankful for:

A God who loves me and sent His Son to die for me

The United States Of America

My Children

Having a good Woman who loves me

Good Friends

Music

Soccer

Football games, family, and food on Thursday!!

Humility


Leave a comment today or the rest of the week and let me know what you are thankful for this year! God's blessings on you and your family!

Did You Know?

Hi all, good Thursday to you! My lovely girlfriend who is a first grade teacher showed me this. It is kind of a poster for 1 to 1 learning which in a nut shell gets laptops in the hands of studnets and gets them started learning for the information age. It is a bit long but worth the watch. Lot's of cool factoids.

Unpopular War Or Blatant Anti-Americanism?

Update Friday 2:00pm: Right on cue Redford and Cruise's new Anti-US suckfest opens to rave reviews:

New York Post - "...if you want to be bored by pompous-assery, Meet the Press is free."

Boston Globe - "Political drama feels more like a lecture."

E! Online - "basically a dorm-room debate with a couple of action scenes"

...and lets not leave out the regular people who watched the movie. Here is a link to their D+ rating. What Average Americans Thought of LFL

****************************************************************************

An article out today suggests that there is a correlation between the disastrous box office returns of all of the recent Anti-US, Anti-Iraq War movies and the fact that we are "fighting an unpopular war". Well, they are right about one of those things anyway, the box office returns are bad, really, really bad. Unfortunately as the MSM often does, they got everything else wrong. Let's think about the logic for a moment shall we? Their argument is that most Americans are passionately against the Iraq war and our cause in Iraq and thusly are staying away from movies about said war. Where their logic fails is in the fact that not one or few, but all of the movies in question, Rendition, In the Valley of Elah, The Kingdom, etc... are themselves anti-war. Anyone who knows anyone who is against this war knows that those who are passionate about it will jump at any chance to see it portrayed in a bad light. Now if you match that with the poor box office returns, it makes perfect sense. Those ARE the people who are going and spending money to see our country, soldiers and cause trashed over and over and they will continue to do so. The fact is that most Americans are patriotic, and they do NOT care to pay $11.50 on a Friday to see their sons and daughters and their country spat upon by pretentious, overpaid babies that have never had to fight for anything real in their lives. Yes, the movies are probably bad in the first place, but they are blatantly Anti-American in their message and content. They portray the US as an Imperialistic force for evil in the world and reasonable people just don't buy that cr*p. Maybe time and more insight will bare this sentiment out and Hollywood will wake up. But I read an article like the one listed below and and for now still have serious doubts.

One Drop In The Idealogical Bucket Sponged Up

One Million more to go I am afraid. There are not many things I deem worthy of the time it takes to post these days but this is one of them for sure. H/T to Malkin and F.I.R.E. for the heads up. When I read this article about the University Of Delaware's Educational Residency Program it made my stomach turn. I almost thought this could not be possible at a public university, but sadly it is, or was thanks to the people at F.I.R.E. and brave students who had the moral courage to oppose this indoctrination. I also don't tell my reader "Read the whole story" very often either, but this is an exception. I would encourage you to start from the start, read all of the articles linked and then see for yourself the curricula that spawned this protest. If you are a rational thinking person you may want to bring a barf bag. Seriously though, like a disease, if this ideological programming can be found in one university, then none are safe. My only further hope in this is that F.I.R.E. and other organizations like it will diligently search out other such violations of student rights and prosecute them with the same vigor as well.

Have You Ever Wondered??

...How to beat your wife properly? Well wonder no more my friends because Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi has the answer you've been looking for, and then some.

"He should beat her with a toothpick.” I happen to have a toothpick with me. A man who is angry with his wife because she doesn’t get it... If he says to her: “Watch out, the child has fallen next to the stove,” or: “Move the child away from the electrical socket,” and she says: “I am busy” – then he beats her with a toothpick or something like it. He doesn’t beat her with a bottle of water, a plate, or a knife. This is forbidden. The scholars said he should beat her with a toothpick. Check out how gentle the toothpick used for beating is. This shows you that the purpose is not to inflict pain."

...Oh it gets better believe me. See the whole article here

This is my Halloween pick of the day. A Tank that is invisible!! Think of the implications this could have for actual combat troops and boots on the ground operations that require stealth such as Seal teams, Rangers, etc... To bad the Brits thought of it first...

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Global Warming Silly!! Or in the Immortal words of Chevy Chase as Irwin Fletcher AKA Harry Truman, "It's All Ball Bearings These Days".

Now I am the first one to say that these fires in California (My Home) are horrible and devestating to all involved, but it seems the dems have begun to tout there very existence as the latest evidence of Global Warming (Large Hall Echo).

This is a quote from Senator Harry Reid at The Hill.com

“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.

Anything to further the cause right Harry?? Well, maybe not... The Story continues,

"Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster."

It just sickens me the way these really important issues, very sad circumstances, and huge natural disasters always seem to become an addendum to the liberals latest cause Du Jur
