I have heard some of the most interesting anecdotes regarding Heaven and the here after... and knowing what I do, I though I would share a form of one I heard from the late great Dr. Adrian Rogers. I goes something like this:



Several men had passed away and were looking for entrance into Heaven, the first man a humanist stepped up and requested passage. Just then there was a thundering voice that shook the very clouds asked "what is the password that you may gain entrance into Heaven?" and the man in a almost irreverent posture belted out "whatever s good in my own eyes should suffice... right?" said the man with an abruptness. They  voice replied with only "be ye gone you doer of iniquity, I knew you not"  you could hear a pin drop, but I suppose the man knew his fate because was already on his knees trembling. Without skipping a beat the man disappeared forever from he sight of He who asked the question. 

The Voice cried out "what is the password that thy may pass into Heaven?" just then a man appeared and offered "I am a religious man... I do all manner of good works -- and I donate to aids foundation" the man obviously was looking for a chuckle or two to lighten things up a bit.  "Be gone ye worker of iniquity I know you not" was all the man heard in response. Entering boldly to make his claim was a deeply self-righteous man exclaiming stridently "May I pass... I serve you? I have stayed clear those who offended you and I give to the Church. I call out you name... let 
me pass"  the Voice had heard all it could stand to hear. "Yes...  to your credit I have seen your gifts but, with your face buried in every offering. There was no love nor compassion... just an audience when you did it. You have received you reward for every dollar you gave, your drove away seven and ten people who would have come to know me... you proud, vile and wicked man. As you claim to know me... knowest thou that my standards are higher for those who say they know me as you do. Be ye gone from my sight you worker of iniquity -- you did nothing for me" just then another man stepped right in. 

The Voice asked "what is the password to gain entrance into Heaven?" the man spoke plainly " I know this much... that every day I awake I was given a chance to find the password, and I never realized it until later in my life... I now understand that I didn't have to know a password. It wasn't in what I could do... I wasn't the author of my salvation only the author of my troubles. That I wasn't better than anyone else... I was from them and was to  be among them to be the same 
light that was offered to me. I just had to believe in Jesus and trust that He would never leave no forsake me. So I stand here now... trusting knowing what He promised"  There was a joyous laugh that thundered across the heavens...  "Such faith as this only has one reward... but countless
benefits. You are wise, no password was required... one just had to believe. The others were deceived... if they believe in passwords, they will  believe in other words... if they believe that, they will believe in works, if  they believe in works they will in others... and if they put their faith in others, where is there room for me? Your name is here in My book, that was my only requirement here. I just expected you to do what it took to get on this list. Now, come there is a place for you
in My Fathers House"



  Thought provoking huh? I wonder where you will be? I know where I my focus is...

stop playing favorites with certain blogs and allow media content  to be put up content or at least allow hosting links that won't burden their servers... let's be fair now.

Vladimir Putin is the quiet killer types, boling over with a rage that can only be silenced by exposing what anyone with common sense can cleary see. He wants the old USSR back, and in a big way. Liek rouge generals content to sell off weapons stockades to the highest dissident bidder, the world heat climate is getting warmer and warmer [the real global warming... mind you] as long behind the curtains scenes dealers like Putin still arms rebels like Kim Jong Il, Houssien, Chavez and Ahmedinejad. It imad men like these that keep the cold war stakes even cooler -- Its kinda like the post 80's analysis of wealth, it was brazen when could see it, but when the 90's came people spent more but then but just didn't talk about it as much.  When are we ever gonna learn not to play with these people.

Yeah, yeah... I know some of you girls neo-feminist "sensibilities" are going to be abrased here but;  a) who cares? and B) there is something that  needs to be realized. Feminism argues against a woman's nature like advocates of homosexuality argue for normalizing the behavior. It just is against our design... not saying all points made by feminists have no truth or are irrelevant, it is just some tend to deify femininity. However as I pointed out in Part I of my theory of man's creation [analogically] follows after that of an employer and woman's follows after that of an employee. A best selling book highlighted a provocative yet thought provoking realization that didn't take a burning a single brain cell to figure out. Women communicate more than men.  But if [in theory] women are according to God's Word the "suitable helper" he created... how would that then be a negative thing? In order to be a productive employee one needs to be able to effectively communicate. The study that was published as a bestselling book The Female Brain by Dr. Louann Brezindine offers an explorative thesis into known differences between men and women. So this begs the questions... if we can look at each other and see differences -- why would a sect of society try to pave over that with clever words but no scientific revelation to back it up?

The truth is there are many plain and clear differences that cannot be explained away out of a rebellious fit. One of her colleagues Professor Mark Lieberman of the University of Pennsylvania takes a hard-nosed disagreement with Dr. Brezindine's finding and had made it his personal quest to see it impeached some way. The study claim that women use on average over 20,000 words a day and men only process around 7,000. That disparaging difference claims Brezindine is practical not tactical. Lieberman espouses a more universalist world view that women are in every bit equal to men apart form the purpose of propagation.  How he can life life daily... and roll right over that one escapes this blogger completely, but it is a testament to one being a product of one's environment, and if that environment is blatantly escapist -- well? Now Dr. Brezindine who studied neurology at the Berkeley [also know as Berzerkly to us non-nutters]. Her study was a longitudinal one over 10 years. Now I don't have the white papers on this so I don't know control group data and other statistics but I'll say this, do you need scientific data to support knowing you are going to the bathroom sometime after you eat? It's that clear.

Now, have some knowledge credibility [although slight] today to this, I studied at the University of Michigan in the Interplex medial program back in the infancy days of the combined internship/study program and neurology was my focus -- my choice in career change doesn't erase 6 years of psychology study and a residency at a marital counseling clinic. Even though a did not complete my medical studies -- that does not erase my schooling nor does it nullify my knowledge gender differentiation through biological analysis. We can see there a stunning differences between the sexes and we need to recognize them, not for subjugation and ridicule, but to gain a healthier understanding to coexist and compliment the opposite sex and enjoy life with them.  The equilateral androgenous existence of the secular humanist will openly and categorically disavow any differences between man and woman for the purposes of socializing their environments. We were never designed to live "communally" but we could -- it would be an entirely contrived existence. But it still exists today. Our lives are gifts and will all gifts, when we loose the ability to enjoy it and thank and recognize the Giver, we have lost our underpinning for living. No wonder the post modern mind is so tortured...

 The eternal question that has confounded the sexes for ages, but has left room for the post modern social engineer to interject their pathologically dysfunctional behavioral distractions into a otherwise healthy cultural climate has become a fundamental reality revealing a deeper clarity. Perhaps generations pasts knew more about the role of man and woman together than what is conformable for us to relate to these days. No wonder it is so easy to break a union of marriage nowadays. I am of the mind that we really don't or we really over look our basic correlation to each other and it pertains to a healthy interaction between the genders. So this little foray into direct translation of our gender roles and them apply them into an analogy so constructive usage of the analogy can help us make sense of the old language. This may abrase feminist "sensibilities" and certainly any socially neutered or culturally androgenous idealogies no consistent with these values... we will hopefully come away with a bit more a relational tool to help enhance our perspectives and understand why men and women interact the way we do... and maybe help relate to the opposite sex a bit more.

It had occurred to me after engaging in a brief debate at my favorite cigar shop with a few fellow aficionados that there are not only physiological differences that obviously distinguish men from women, but that they transcend our chemicalogical make up as well as emotional and functional perspectives on just about every subject there is that a man and woman can relate with. All uniquely based on what we were assigned in our creation but since the conversational debate was predominately socioeconomic. It was then I had a relational epiphany... Men are like employers, and women are like employees.  Yes, that is what I said and if you look at our behavior -- It is not far from that revelation at all.  Now what we are accustomed to hearing is that [somehow] we are all created equal when the reality is there is nothing scripturally to support that rather liberal assertion. God never promised one man alive that we were going to all be millionaires, or God blesses or somehow condones a more socialistic approach to relating with His creation.. not so. But historically... one can always trace revolution from rebelion.... rebelion has always been the spiritual agitator that incites rebelion.as most are.  Look at our society today, are we better off? or are we more threatened? I'd say the latter, we have allowed ideals to replace principles. What I am endeavoring to do is go back to square one and bring some understanding to why men and women relate as we do, and who gains from our confusion? We'll start like all good forensic analysis, we'll start from the beginning. The Book of Genesis tells us something very clearly but we all read past it and then broker unfounded conclusions here that are wrong for us to base relations societally on how to correspond with the opposite sex.  I'll say this first though -- the Christians had it right with respecting the opposite gender and women have never had it as good as they have had it under Christ centered relations.  But that is not what the feminist or radical sexual deviant would have you believe, but the bible tells us something clear:

Genesis 1 26-28

"26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all^[b] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Now this passage in scripture to me clearly demonstrates authorship and authority by our Creator.  First He tell us what He ultimately accomplished in v.26 then comes the creation of Adam and then his human instruction set in v.28 That is his role as a man. God created man as in men, after His image [mortally, humanly] that means men have His creativity... and ability to make something from nothing. This makes sense when you look at the behavior of men. We are spurred on by what we see... or can visualize coming to fruition. Now in chapter 2 God deposits Adam in the garden and gives Him his first job or mandate. Then after some time had been spent doing what God had commissioned him to do. God saw Adam's loneliness after his own discovery that there was no creature after his kind.  God must have known that eventually Adam would discover this, but as in always... it was a matter of doing this in God's time the woman [Eve] was created in verses 21-23 where after this discovery.  There were three things had taken place before woman had been created that you need to take note of : 1) There was provision established and a environment for her to live in 2) there was a mandate for behavior and purpose for existence [a reason for a job and an employee manual] 3) there was a place of work and  a reason for the union to exist [establishment of her purpose and utility v.24]... Now again all of this stated in chapter 2 verses 21-24.

Now if you look at it in this perspective... you have a very different understanding of relational responsibility, and interpersonal dependency based sheerly on a logical utilitarian basis. Not to make our relation sound dispassionate and antiseptic.. but in analysis you have to dispense with emotional interpretations to get to the root of what it is you are attempting to uncover. But it is deeper than that because an employer wants loyalty and dedication and most of all reproductivity from their employees. Can you see how woman fits this perfectly. Woman was referred to as a "suitable helpmate" [depending on what translation you have] what is a help mate. Well... what is a help mate? simply translated... it is an employee.  Employee and employer is a relationship that is built around commitment and utility. Employers need reliability and employees need stability. Employers are impressed by what image an employee sends out as it relates to their own image directly. While employee are attracted to the benefits and employer may provide... as this all varies. There are all types of forms of employment.  Fortune 500 to Ma and Pop.. all walks of men are represented there. Just as there are all types of employee... unemployed [single] to temp work [casual dating]. There are parallels in society that reveal our relations as quite a bit like this model. They give us disturbing trends in the employer/employee relationship that we need to take notice of and correct. But for us to understand how we can relate better and see our gender based needs a bit more clearly we need to see that every employer has a market... every employee has a talent. Woman was designed to be natures perfect employee in that:

• She is articulate
• She is detail oriented
• She is bright
• She is Functional
• She is orderly
• Attractive [individually]

Now... notice in Genesis 2 and 23, see where woman is derived from. Woman is not created when Adam was created and she was she is created in man's image... you have to see that very clearly -- the bible has no intent to hide this. People omit this very important detail but The Apostle Paul picks up on this later in the New Testament making clarity for order in the Church. But man and woman were not created at the same time... when woman came... there was a environment and a role to play right way.  She had something to feel comfortable with to feel she could be productive -- or more importantly reproductive in. Men on the other hand have very different tools that aid their gender role as designed, as it is:

• He is focused on the task at hand
• Physiologically designed to act on its coming to fruition
• He basically has the ability to create something from nothing
• He is protective
• He is intelligent
• He is logic oriented

Now the stage is set for an interrelational understanding of men and women coexisting as worker and employer. But in part II I will go into depth about how we can expand on this even further. Including using analogies such as unions to bring a greater understanding as to why we need to reevaluate how we process in our minds the opposite sex we may gain a deeper insight into why women need what they do to useful and a contributor in a relationship and why men are... well, men.  All of this done in a lighthearted fashion with scripture to validate my thesis here... not to interpret but always to understand.

 Well... MIchigan may have had slug-out with OSU, but Michigan's continued problem with committing fouls or turnovers right when you couldn't possibly fathom a worse time to do it.  #72 got busted for a personal late hit on the QB... that got OSU a fresh set of downs, and a tap dance in the end zone. But Michigan;s problem were deeper than that/ They got out played by trues God given talent in the form of Smith, Pittman, and Ginn Jr.  Those three are the ones winning the games for them. A truly athletic quarterback in Troy Smith -- unphased he blazed through defense that had held him in check on occasion. Michigan needs to beef up their recruitment efforts and get the h-e-l-l out East Lansing, and Saginaw... Go down south like other top ranked teams and get real talent not just very good players.  Michigan has very good players...

OSU had exceptional talent to which there was no answer...  Michigan had very good talent... which if focused and in harmony could have defeated the OSU. Michigan caused upsets when they were creative and used deceptive tactics. OSU had no problem with play actions, reverses... and the old shotgun standby.. this is great for a team with there talent. Why? because when the QB is exceptionally gifted and so are the receivers and running back, well. That is cause for defense nervousness.  Michigan's loss was attributed chiefly in failure to covert turn overs committed by OSU that could have really stunned them.  That exposed Chad Henne's weakness... I don't think he will be effective in the pro's as a matter of fact I would tell him to complete his degree, and move on along.  In today;s game people want to be entertained by exceptional talents... to which is is just good... not even very good.  Mario Manningham is very good... Steve Breaston is quite good... Mike Hart is very good... But they knew of Henne's inability t be mobile. The NCAA game has been injected with this influx of highly mobile, highly athletic quarter backs that are fast, quick, and can take a hit as well as have one heck of an arm. Plus they are creative and remember that this game is tactical as well as practical.  They was a great game that at least didn't end up a blow out... because it sure could have been. 

Michigan cannot attribute anything to the loss of patron saint of coaches Glenn "Bo" Schembechler, I went to school when he was there... what make a michigan man is losing all the other games of the season... and punking OSU.  They fired Gary Moeller for not beating OSU [among things], this should be Lloyd Carr's last season you cannot be 1-5 against the standard for inter collegiate rivalries.  Michigan should be a great recruiting school because you don't have a line up that says you'll never play.  That is USC's problem right now... kids are going to SEC because the Pac 10 schools in LA are impressive but locked out... all except Carl Durell at UCLA. Oh, well... they gave it their shot.  Who know's what next year hold's... Michigan need to go get some dirty south, kraka' azz kraka' coach who know;s how to light fires.... and keep them burning.   Best of luck to you OSU "Good Luckeye's " because that is just what you where...  this time.

 This morning during a press conference, he collapsed during the taping. He was rushed to the hospital where attempts to revive the Big 10 coaching giant. Bo was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later at approximately 12:30 est.  Again Bo Schembechler who had three years after I had left U of M has died of an apparent heart attack or failure of a pace maker implant adjustment last week.  Scembechler was a coaching iconoclsat. An Iron-fisted, tough talking drill seargent. He was the winningest coach in the University of Michigan history. His roots were in Ohio, but after he left Ohio State under his [would be] arch rival  Woody Hayes. He ramped up the "10 Year War" in a chapter of the biggest colligiate rivalry in NCAA history. He was a coaches coach... and was a man of integrity. God Bless him... he will be sorely missed.  Hail to the Victor valiant...   and Go blue.

The Democrats fresh off their trance dance state after plucking a few seats from the GOP in the house and leveling the playing field in the Senate, are showing their true ungrit with the first signs of intra-party squabbling. It would appear the dems will be just what the republicans claimed there would be... incapable of maintaining control. Murtha got the pinch after the ABSCAM debacle came back to bite him in is his bloated posterior. Reid has his sons imported to D.C. as lobbyists -- Boxer, Pelosi, Fienstein, Obama Bin Pelosi, Schumer, and that person Vermont... all support state sponsored genocide in the form of abortion, "stem" cell research instead of adult stem cell research [which is theonly one that works], all support the devolution of our schools in favor of their multiculuralistic, androgenous, netherworldly alternative sexual deviance oriented Orwellian existence; all to say ethics are not in the eye of the beholder. Ethics point invariably to morays and principles. Since they never claimed to be the party of moral clarity. How far do you think circular reasoning will get them?

This past election could have been the best thing to happen to the GOP -- they need to attend to some interior ballast issues. Gutting porkmongers from the ranks and such.  The only thing that is and will continue to hurt them is al the smokey back room antics as far as selecting candidates.. they need to hold open primaries, and let the people get to query the candidates so we come up with core values that are consistent across the board, so we are insulated again local issues and have a real platform to bond with nationally. My suggestion is to quit running after the "swing" voters they are spoilers... they whole purpose is to hurt the conservative party, and that is traditionally who it hurts... even when we have majority numbers, the runoff lead in the races tend to effect the conservative ranks more so than the nutter crowd. Nutters are galvanized in their nuttiness... however their big problem is when it come to culture preservation -- they have us locked down. Because we don't know how to respond... we need to know how to match tactics without loosing virtue.  They are the existential party.. they look to blame any thing other than how they possibly could be contributors to societies ills. We need to root out the pork mongers and to attract more center left voters but making a clear arguement on why that benefits them... all without looking like you are trying to court them. You just let them know that they'll benefit and they will tend not to abandon their socially conservative ideals. Nutter have none they are neo-socialists, or marxist economists at heart it is easy enough to contain that madness when you have a clear plan for:

1. Reducing fiscal spending.
2. Leveling out taxes
3. Reducing government size
4. Rebuilding our education system which is intentionally being destroyed
5. Building up the ranks of our standing military... again
6. Stabilizing our currency... put the dollar back on the gold standard.
7. Aggressively pursuing and achieving more socially conservative judges to serve.

If we start there... we will have gone along way to reversing the curse of rampant stupidity that seems to have enveloped us all. When a nation falls... the smart ones fall with it. We need to start now, and we know better... we all know what to do, we just need to "Git R' Done"

See, what sparked this little tryst is Hugh calling Michigan fans "delusional" But I noted that sucker punch was conveniently placed at the end trailers of his show as he blazed off into sun setting "evening grace" for the day...  Hugh, I'll say this -- at least you know when to cut-and-run!!! I had a genuine laugh though... but I tried to call at the last minute to interdict the flow of hmmm, shall we call it "hate speech".   See... a Buckeye sounds link something that should be served up with a side of rice, and a hamhock!  Mmm, mmm, good. Boy -- I need something fried right about now.  I have to go now...  Hugh you are a trip! at least both our teams made it.

I am many things... an avid blogger, fellow patriot,  Christian... but I am not a Buckeye!!!!  I went to Michigan -- I am Maize and Blue through and through baby! I had heard all your pregame propaganda last night... ha! Tisk-tisk, it was to laugh.  Your Jedi skills are waning there young Padawan... No disrepect meant, but If you call the game like you did this last election, I just might become a betting man.  Our stats are better across the board... you guys have Smith, Pittman and Ginn Jr. all exceptional players in their own right. But I do not believe you will have the day. I am just glad it's all Big 10 teams -- the numbskulls at the BCS ought  to take a huge lesson from this. Let the schools with programs play... and put the chump change in the piggybank.  Morning Glory... evening grace, you are a fellow parexcellence and may  the best team.......  beat the Buckeyes!

Well, here we are... one week past a two election, and we have the democrats beginning the initial stages of political cannibalism. Pelosi and her old nutter-buddy John Murtha are slated for a consolidation of left of left power grab. The problem is... he'll get the post nut that is only because they freshman dems have this false sense of subordination to Granny with an attitude Pelosi. So the nutter bunch in the DNC with be appeased [hmmm.. see how they like it] for a season, but being the voice of amoral indulgence they have to sell their agenda on bible belt democrats... that is gonna be a tough sell.

You have heard it here before people.. I was the first to say it, and I'll say it again.  They will talk themselves right out of an 2008 hold if they cut-and-run. The "mandate" [if you will] from voters this fall [fall... funny huh?] was not against The President more than it was against the President's not taking the full mantle of authority to prosecute this war in a decisive manner to which I can only say... I agree. It was not a license for the nutter crowd to get hopped up on consensus joy juice and push their crappy little agendas which are nothing more short of relandscaping America as a gender neutral, homocentric, neosocialist, disarmed slush bucket of secular filth. The bible belt democrats who are actually more women this time around... amazing. This chickocracy along with talking points Americans still hold to that are more conservative in nature will tie them down to see things our way...for a season. The thing to remember is that women are naturally more liberal than men.  If they are convinced to ride along, we may have them. I still say as far as a presidential nominee... a) to not worry about the Whitehouse as much, because whoever thy have is gonna get in anyway. The tie of anti-Bush sentiment will only get revented during the election... so whoever the candidate, we shouldn't waste our bullets -- sacrifice Guiliani or McCain, we can live without either [trust me]. Save Romney or whoever for a day that can count. We need to focus on regaining seats -- whoever they put in will be a lame duck anyway. Its all strategy, and they are already helping us.

I listen to opinions of those who support same-sex civil unions and they still have not yet proved the benefit to society as a whole.  They just some how presume because their behavior has garnered more media support over the last several decades that somehow a morally balanced society [as a whole] is somehow bettered by their acceptance... or more toward that end. Society is "civil" according to them. Such blatant narcissism is typical of homosexuals advocating such a disturbing behavior. As you already may know Elton John commented yesterday that in a British tabloid advocating his position on religion saying "But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion," he said. "From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate." Now, where have you heard that before? If that isn't the most common of responses, geez I don't know what to tell you.


How do secular and nonsecular voices who do not agree with homosexuality, and are socially in the majority and have voiced through referendum to append such vitriolic perceptions by choosing not to normalize its influence in society? How do you blame religion there? How did religion suddenly become the problem? Here let me help you, they made it an issue. These homosexuals [not all] who would continue to antagonize those who have religious views that do not condone such behavior... and attack the institutions that do not support their point of view, and label citizens who do not subscribe to their opinions on homosexuality have what I would call a darn near pathological denial and blindness to just how deviant the behavior is, is absurd. There is nothing right about it at all, the moral relativist will pave over it with a categorical denial of reality, but will just as quickly have to retreat when you hold them to the same standard of denial when a matter applies to them, so one cannot go there. You cannot just duck and cover when the social engineers as legislators and judges abuse their basic roles in government.


American is [sadly to say] embroiled knee deep in a no-holds-barred counter culture revolution. Rebelion is what ignites revolution, this is why they attack our schools... because they are trying to indoctrinate the next generation. Get them all confuse... and destroy the traditional meaning of family with such inoculous terms as "parenting" well -- what happened to Mother and Father?  too gender specific I suppose. California legislator Sheila Keuhl a openly gay Senator here in California has staked her entire career on presenting nothing but pro-gay legislation [SB1437 - 1441/ AB606] in an attempt to normalize the behavior in schools. Think it is a conspiracy theory now? Who told them they could abuse the role station of their office to advocate and defend such abomidable behavior clearly antithetical to the healthy growth of future generations? Who? I sure didn't. It is not the purpose of government to legislate acts of individual will. As will is purposed to either support or abate standing laws and best cultural traditions observed by the individual members of the body politic... insomuch that what they advocate is the exception that thinks its the rule.
 
All this... perpetrated by gays who lash out at anything that traditionally does not condone that behavior. Societies that indulged in vangarding such iniquitous behavior have all perished. So how is one to be prepared to defend common sense against the stark raving mad nutter logic projected on or against them? We have all heard common assailment such as what I'll list below... but we have to learn how to turn the tables on them and make them feel the sting of attempting to usurp a right with a wrong:

• Statement: The government needs to do something about hate speech and hate crimes.
• Response:  Well, who is it that is going to receive the benefit of such legislation? and why does the government have to do something? Do you think the government can erase human nature? Because that is what you are advocating when you propose such things.
• See this what all because of organized religion?
• Response: Is that so? How do you come to the conclusion that religion is at all responsible for your position in society? [Borrow the Colombo tactic from Stand to Reason's Greg Kokhul] or any socratic method linear reasoning. Secondly you have to point out to them that their nonbelief is a religion as well... so they are still practicing something.
• Statement: Religion has killed millions throughout history particulary Christians, I don't want to participate in anything like that.
• Response: You do of course see the hypocrisy in your reasoning, right? You obviously support abortion... that has murdered over 45 million as we speak just in America. There is a price to be paid for that... just so you know. Need I speak of Hitler and  Stalin, who's atheistic and cultic veiws had exterminated the lives over 130 million lives.  Mao Tse Tsung... 100 plus million lives, rooted up as if they never mattered. They do have the endorsement for doing so by the life limiting soul extorting views that Darwinian Naturalism blatantly espouse. Post Modern thought and communism cannot exist without evolution... or basically some existential rejection of what man is over a replacement idealogy whose very appearance is suspect in that it is convenient to self indulgence and rejects anything that convicts behavior. So... ahhh, you want to defend that?

I could go on all day with these... trust me, I am walking "vibe be gone" in urban coffeehouses where the handy six pack of reprobate intelligentsia can be found vacillating deeply on  web cam footage of their spring break "activities"... all to say no society have lived to tell about the sexual behavior they allowed that [hetero or homo] supplanted being productive and reasonably moral. Is America next... I don't' know -- the nutter watch just started, but I believe we can grab this horse by the reins. You can tell where a countries heart is when they vote on referendums... and 9 more states passed bans on same-sex unions, abortion is still an issue as well. Well see as we get deeper into their terms what lies ahead. But we need to be ever vigilant, but common sense and reasonable. Homosexuality is not just bad because the bible says it is [that should be enough right there...] but because it is clearly a bio[il]logical act. There is no reason to engage in the activity simply short of shear will.  It is outside of normal biological relations -- there does not have to be justified or bargained down.  It is what it is.. for what it is and we need to call them on it.

Ok.. having heard all the wild-eyed, post election hysteria from the nutter crowd, this was to be expected... not unlike victorious little babies that played two parents off each other to get their way; the gloating has begun. However, we need to remind ourselves not to loose sight of the objective which should be control of the countries fiscal and judicial direction [the Senate] and control of the countries legislative and social direction [The House]. One personage [office] can have only so much influence, though it is nice to have the oval office. It should not be the primary focus for 08' or it'll be Clinton 96' all over again. He was a lame duck for almost the entire second term. Anyone we suggest [if they win] would be a waste of energy and resources. I suggest running McCain if we run anyone because no one really likes him anyway and he is more liberal than we need him to be... he'll draw out the right-leaning nutters but make him the sacrificial lamb. Hillary is who the nutters want and as popular as she is, she still may not get the nomination as left or right of the spectrum, a majority people are just not ready for feminine patronage conspicuously left of center in the oval office.... yet.

And I'll say it now... no Condie Rice either, she has failed miserably as Sec. of State, has a blundering foreign affairs policy of appeasement over finish the job.... right. She may be smart, but her limp-wristed approach is exactly what we don't need at a time when we need something else. Strategically we need to go out int to the general public and start holding more townhall like meetings were we need to get more feed back on what people are looking for in a candidate they would ardently stand behind. This is what takes the wind out of the sails of your opponent, and you spend less money that way too. Find out what values are touch stone right now... and build a campaign on structured accomplishment... it's not gonna happen all in a day anyway, so find out what touchstone issues are the most important such as:

1. Same-Sex Issues in schools
2. Educational system overhaul
3. Tax and Tax Filing Reform
4. Abortion Distortion... expose the lie once and for all and nail it down.
5. Constitutional amendment curtailing the rouge efforts of judges as advocates

Start with one or two of those... these are the real issues that are causing us big problems right now and stack the deck in the house and senate in a way with people who are strong and committed to excellence on those issues and run them, research each state, hit the road but do it more personally and we will see an evident revival and terminate some of this pathological disaffection people have about their God given right to vote.... notice I didn't' say state. This should be the way we get off the ground for a solid and purposeful start to 08 without all of the games and typical insider rhetoric.  But... alas we can only hope the GOP gets the hint.... because the election was just that.

Talk is cheap.  Despite what the left is spinning... to the victor go the spoils. They won [on the surface only] so they have the right to spin it how they want. If they want to use the war as a social referendum, that is their business.  Bush wasn't Commander-In-Chief enough to bridle this horse and guide it where it needed to be. America was bullish on Iraq and he let them down. We weren't aggressive enough; for all his fervor, he has fallen short. When the GOP swept its majority in 04' that was the signal to get it done. What wa the problem with putting upwards toward a million troops on the ground... it would have accomplish three things, most importantly;

1. Sending a clear message to the global thug network, the old US is back... we will send troops and they will kill you and your joy. American lives are valuable to us, and we'll kill more of you to prove it.
2. More troops means greater chances of fewer casualties. Remember the Gulf War, when the Republican Guard saw our troop in force at any area of engagement, they cut and ran, or surrendered in droves.
3. Use their shear force size to kill the opportunity [tactically] for enemy to garner reinforcements large enough to sustain any amount resistance over time. That also means we can do more hunter-killer missions, and sweeps for weapons. Because our troop levels are lower -- we are exposing our underbelly, and they are arming themselves and talking advantage of it. We should be using satellites and drones to comb areas before troops swarms hit them to reduce casualties. Hit them with air strikes first... but local phone service [we're at war.. remember, if they want peace.. sue for it] and monitor anyone with a cell. In a destitute area.. anyone with a cell is SOB you need to be watching.

Simple things like this help take the sting out of liberal hissy fits when they start up their social unrest machine. I am of the position though... that Pelosi is going to be more useful now than before. She obtained what it is she wanted. Now it is time for the GOP to start looking for useful conservatives. Not right-leaning nutters... but core conservatives.  They needs to start looking in unconventional areas with unconventional tactics that yield a realistic, viable and buyable candidate, instead of these  back room, barlight hickory-smoked tactics they have been up to thus far. If they persist in not involving the people they lean on so desperately every four years to keep them fueled... they might as well change the country's name to the Socialist States of America, because they blew their opportunity to regain momentum by failing to convince their constituents that they actually count and that excluding them from the candidate choice selection and not holding more grassroots townhall style "get to know" the candidate type canvassing will effectively end it for them for a while. We must remember the nutter social engineers have conditioned an entire generation to switch off the left side of the brain, and they have... this will only get worse as people tend to get more conservative [meaning take less risk] as they get older, now a generation os switched-off semi-employed, over taxed neo-socialists are going to be hog wild on their socializing agenda. The GOP will be almost helpless to stop it. Unless they get back to true social conservatism and defense of the union positioning.  If not, this can of worms is going Euro-Trash.

President Bush's cabinet Sergeant at Arms  Donald Rumsfeld resigned today after the mid-term election fallout amidst a hail fire of controversy surrounding policy decisions made during nearly 6 year tenure at his post. With dignity and resolve he told the press today making it clear to house liberals and their muddled "Euracracy" right away "Do not be joyful. Do not confuse the workings of our democracy with a lack of will. Our nation is committed to bringing you to justice. Liberty and democracy are the source of our strength," He is being succeeded by former CIA Head Robert Gates. Pelosi in one of her official press conferences was asked what Bush could do as an olive branch and she quickly retorted "He could ask Rumsfeld to resign" is it not the place of the house to request who resides in the presidents cabinet, but they are flexing their muscles already. Should we be surprised... the cat fight has begun.
