Socialism... the Ultimate Ponzi Scheme!

2009-10-20T09:57:00.012-04:00

The mantra of Socialism is not much different than the Serpent’s pitch in the Garden... a seduction, with similar results!!!

Socialism survives on promises... once under its tyranny, the folks too late realize the delivery of these promises is a far different matter! Socialism is really a huge Ponzi pyramid scheme (or maybe a southern ante-bellum plantation, mentioned in previous posts)... those in charge at the top live LARGE... the "regular" folks not so good. Innovation and creativity is frustrated and oppressed with bureaucracy multiplied to strangulation levels... the purpose to maintain the sacred status quo! To do and maintain this, control of information, education and the media is essential. Human vices (especially those of the flesh) and "alternative life styles" are encouraged and glorified. Traditional Judeo-Christian faith and morality are discouraged, ridiculed and marginalized… the main vehicle for this being the now state-controlled "arts", entertainment and education industries. Media "stars" are anointed and given conditional top tier pyramid status, based on their adherence to the "party line" (as the state has now replaced God, the rulers are often given godlike admiration by the selected media). Opposition media if allowed at all, is viciously attacked using such thuggish Orwellian named tactics as “fairness doctrine” “diversity” and now, “net neutrality”.

Those at the top of the pyramid continually agitate those below to be in constant conflict with each other... using all things cultural and ethnic to maintain the strife (so we don’t see that our common struggle is against the top pyramid "Bernie Madoff" types). Those of us among the "lesser" are fortunate if we can maintain a rationed subsistence... long lines for most everything among us “common” folk are the SOCIALIST REALITY! (Note the recent toilet paper shortage in Cuba). However, to "comfort" us and assuage our misery we have the option of blaming our misfortune on the various “enemies of the day”! This could be big corporations, insurance companies, or even Fox News... but NEVER government!

One wonders why if Socialism is so wonderful, why don’t Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela have a illegal immigrant problem? Seems to me they should have to build walls to keep people out! But their walls are designed to keep the people in! It’s amazing in America today, how many of our fellow citizens buy the PROMISE (of something for nothing) and not the REALITY (the aforementioned “rationed subsistence”) of Socialism! Go figure? Convinced that the (never delivered) promised good life of Socialism is “just around the corner” many become willing slaves to the oppressive Nanny state, marching into HELL with a smile on their face!!!

To close with a paraphrase of wisdom gleaned from 18th century patriot Samuel Adams, (with some 21st century context adjustment liberties): Those who know not the Lord, are doomed to live in tyranny, but tyrants cannot (for long) rule righteous men.

God save us, send revival to the land!

Health Care debate... in a nutshell.

Obama Nation = Plantation Nation?

2009-09-14T10:14:00.000-04:00

In my observations the socialist state IS exactly like an antebellum southern plantation! The limousine liberals that run the place are the “chosen” and are the “better” people… who “care” for the great unwashed that live in the mud huts. The “chosen” know all of us ordinary folk won’t spend our money and live our lives our lives like we should… so they must, for our own good, limit our freedom and keep us in line! This is why liberals like Obama, Pelosi and Reid ALWAYS side with the tyrants of the world!

The biggest husker since Bernie Madoff, recent Nobel "Peace?" prize winner and current former "Global Warming" (now "Climate Change") advocate, Al Gore... along with much of the media/Hollyweird/Democrat party gang are now the poster children for the coming "Plantation Nation". They are the perfect example of "do what I say, not as I do" (remember Al Gore’s electric bill?)... this harkens one back to a less proud time in our history, the "Old South" of antebellum times… a time when the “select elect” lived in the “Mansion on the Hill” and the slaves dwelled in the mud huts.

As to “Global Warming/Climate Change” could it be that what we have here is the 21st Century version of the pagan explanation that our mishaps are a result of “angry gods”? In the past thousands of years earthquakes, storms and other assorted catastrophes have required sacrifices of virgins, children and other unfortunate folks to appease the angry gods! Note that the high priests and shamans demanding these “necessary” sacrifices rarely were it victims.

The bitter irony is our first black president is leading the charge to create this 21st century “Plantation Nation” in America! With the economic disasters of “Cap and Trade” and government “Health Care” on the horizon, fighting global warming and rationed health care will soon most of our freedom “on ice”! You best learn to make the most of the one to two hours of your rationed electricity each day. With the “Cap and Destroy Trade” policy of no nuke, no coal, no gas, no oil, no biomass… there will be no way to maintain our lifestyles? But as we sleep each night in discomfort (no heat, no air, can’t burn wood… CO2 ya know)… And when we are told by a government bureaucrat our lives are not worth what it CO$T to cure our illnesses, we will be comforted to know that our sacrifice “saves” Mother Earth and keeps “health care” costs down… but remember our "leaders (rulers)" in Congress (plantation owners?) will not be burdened by any of these efforts as they already exempted themselves from most of the laws imposed on the rest of us.

Remember Fidel Castro is worth billion$ while his people struggle in poverty! He’s the plantation owner! Now we have "Castro with an oil plantation" Hugo Chavez who has promoted himself to "Fuhrer of Venezuela". The world/American Left/media love these guys! The jet set libs in Congress, Hollyweird and the media demand that you park your SUV, while they jet around the globe in private jets that burn more fuel in an hour that your SUV burns in a month! They just think they’re better people... by what measure I have yet to figure?? Yet they say and campaign that they are for the “little” guy… MY ASS!

Some thoughts after another year from 9/11/2001:

2009-09-11T15:13:00.000-04:00

Looking at the horrifying sight of death and carnage, I was tempted to think, the devil was victorious! It seemed that Satan was in complete charge. BUT... a small voice in my heart reminded me... When Joseph was stripped of his coat "of many colors" and sold into slavery in Egypt, do you suppose he might have thought evil was victorious!? When he was falsely accused and thrown into prison did it seem G-d was nowhere to be found? Later, we
would find out things are not always as they seem! Later to his brothers he said: (Genesis 50:20: As for you, you meant evil against me, but G-d meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to SAVE many people.)

The attack on the World Trade Center was an act of unspeakable EVIL, what kind of "Faith" calls the slaughter of innocent people "an act of righteousness" ???????? Where was G-d? But, to much of the world, the World Trade Center was a towering sign of American arrogance and materialism, a "tower of Babel" as it were, in a city that has mocked G-d. No doubt it was a sobering and humiliating experience for America! They way it "came a tumbling down" was prophetic! When it occurred, did Americans flock to the biology classes to find the answers in a better understanding of evolution? Or… did we gather at our Houses of Worship? We can only hope that we in the good ole USA will take notice of some warnings and promises…

Hosea 4:6: MY people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have REJECTED knowledge, I will also reject you, That you may be no priest to me. Because you have YOUR god's law, I will also forget your children.

Hosea 4:10: They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to the Lord.

2nd Chronicles 7:14: if MY people, who are called by MY name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As our nation continues the long and difficult struggle with world terrorism, remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, in another dark time in our history: he was asked "is G-d on our side?" He replied "the question should be my friend, are we on G-d’s side?"

G-D BLESS AMERICA! AMERICA, BLESS G-D!

Is Islam: A faith in the process of being highjacked?
The question to ask the great Islamic nations of the world is this… "Are you letting your faith be highjacked by a band of extremists who plan to crash it into the world tower of civilization in a bloody fiery holocaust?" Does the great Islamic faith teach that the mass murder of innocents by suicide is a "righteous act?" This may be the most important question the history of Islam, and maybe the world. What will their answer be?

Inflation 101

2009-08-28T08:35:00.003-04:00

The “classic” definition of inflation (IMHO): “too much money chasing to few goods” is frankly nonsense! Inflation is ALWAYS a result of a government repudiating its debt, as the currency is devalued the loans are paid back with much “cheaper” money… everyone is hurt by this situation, including the offending government. They (the government) may think they are pulling a "fast one" on their citizens, but as confidence fades and economic chaos reigns, the nation becomes much less stable and much more subject to tyranny (by design?). As proof , I quote the father of deficit spending, John Maynard Keynes:

“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of large deficits leading to inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.”

Last count $9,000,000,000,000 (that's trillion!) and counting!

Buy the Reality... Not the Promise!

2009-08-14T11:55:00.003-04:00

Lemme see, help me with the “Gubmint math”... An increasingly imperial and arrogant congressional leadership, who after narrowly passing “Crap ‘n trade” which will lead to rationing energy and making it much more expensive… orders 5-8 luxury jets ($60M per) that burn more fuel in an hour than my SUV burns in a month so they can travel like royalty!

The only “Health Care” bill generally distributed was written by the most LEFTIE members of Congress (Waxman, Pelosi)… To make “free heathcare” available to ALL our great “leaders” are now proposing taxes on every aspect of American life from soda pop to the miles we drive to fund a “heath reform” they have NO INTENTION of living under themselves… Calling anyone, who even questions much less disagrees… Nazis and right wing mobs (and now racist)!

I now see I’m just a stupid American who needs to learn my “leaders” (rulers?) know best!!!!

As I have been SCREAMING from the rooftops! These aren’t “liberals” they are “Plantationists” as they plan to reside in the “Mansion on the Hill” and we serfs will dwell in the “mud huts” living a rationed subsistence… as there is just not enough prosperity to go around, and save the Earth too.

I can’t for life of me see why ANYBODY would be suspicious and upset.

Who/What Created Evil?

2009-05-31T17:40:00.002-04:00

Could it be no one? Maybe evil is not a 'created' thing… like cold is the absence of heat, dark is the absence of light... could evil be simply the absence of G-d? When one separates from G-d, he/she is left with only EGO. Ego is a cruel and merciless master, never satiated, that demands to be worshiped as god and therefore is a prime candidate for the source of evil. Lucifer is the ultimate example of this, G-d created him as an Archangel and gave him the gift of beauty (Son of the Morning… Isaiah 14:12), but he misused this gift. When Lucifer separated from G-d he became evil, for he had nowhere else to go. He was seduced by, and gave in to… EGO.

The recent roster of mass murderers, from Hitler to Stalin, Pol Pot to Saddam, all wanted to be worshiped as gods... (ego). For the poor souls under their jackboot, the penalty for not worshiping them was/is always agony and death! Interviews with serial murderers have revealed that they often forced their victims to “worship” them before they pronounced “judgment” (selfish ego totally out of control!).

In 21st century America, ego drives the anti Judeo-Christian “movement”. From the A.C.L.U. to Michael Newdow (the take G-d outta the Pledge guy), to Hollywood’s Limousine Liberals, it all about “look at me, I’m on TV” (saying ridiculous things…) Ego is the totally anti-G-d state of mind, and is In My Humble Opinion (IMHO) the foundation of evil! There is ultimately only two true faiths... worship of G-d or worship of self (ego). So again IMHO, all cults, ideologies, isms, etc. are just versions of EGO!

Those who hate the Jews... Hate G-d!

2009-04-30T10:18:00.000-04:00

A Christian's view of Why the Jews are Hated.

Genesis 12:3: "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed."

This is G-d’s promise to Abraham, that gave rise to the people who would be known as Jews, and planted the seeds of why they are now, and have through millennia, been hated by so many since the moment that covenant was sealed. I believe with all my soul that the United States of America has prospered and become the greatest nation in history because we have kept the first part of that promise. Yes, there have been anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. but overall no nation has welcomed the Jews like America, and America has been greatly blessed as a result. Jews, although small in number are great in influence, occupying many important positions in many prominent avenues of life. Far greater, proportionately than any other ethnic group. Go figure?

The Jews are clearly cherished and loved by Almighty G-d. Nothing else explains the paradox of the most persecuted people in history thriving in spite of hate, pogroms and the Holocaust. Many historians wonder how Jews have kept their identity for 3,000+ years. It just doesn’t make sense. They should have vanished millennia ago, along with the Phoenicians, the Hittites, the Philistines or any other ‘ites that shared the space that archeologists are now digging up.

The foundation of the hatred begins with Satan… Ole Devil’s contempt for the Jews is a direct result of the Redeemer, Lamb of God Jesus Christ who was/is a Jew. The blood of Jesus is the sin offering that reconciles the soul of Man with G-d and delivers us from Satan and Hell, just as the blood of the lamb (a model of Christ?) led to the Passover deliverance of the Jews from Egypt. This is why TRUE Bible believing Evangelicals are and have been the BEST friends the Jews have EVER had. While we do not understand why Jews, as a whole, do not recognize Jesus as Messiah, we do KNOW the Jews, through the covenant with Abraham gave the world the Savior (…the Promise: “In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed”. I prefer the call the Abrahamic covenant the “Original” covenant rather than the “Old” covenant).

To people who imply the “Jews” rejected Jesus I say, nonsense! The whole first century Church were Jews, including all the New Testament writers (with the possible exception of Luke). Many more Gentiles have rejected Jesus than Jews.” As for the accusation that the Jews killed Jesus… well they didn’t do it by themselves, as the Romans (Pilate) passed the final sentence. Jesus died willingly for all, and “all” (Jews and Gentiles) were involved in His crucifixion! Thus, our hope of salvation!

The “de-Jewing” of the Christian faith began with the “conversion” of Roman Emperor Constantine around 312 A.D. He soon after declared Christianity to be the official religion of Rome, and with that came the “politicalization” of the faith (promoting and confusing the “Church” above the Gospel). This began the separation of Christianity from its’ Jewish foundations and the beginning of “modern” anti-Semitism, (although it’s been around forever… i.e. Book of Esther), which has lead to many resulting apostasies, and the sordid history of anti-Semitism, which sadly appears to be re-energized again with recent events! True Christians understand the “Jewness” of our faith, and will strive to maintain our part of the promise of Genesis 12:3. Dialogue welcome! G-d Bless. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

Freedom on Ice?!

2009-03-22T09:46:00.000-04:00

I have often stated that the biggest lie ever fostered on the human race is the screwball and totally speculative Darwin “theory” of evolution… its main purpose to separate the human race from their creator! Now we have big lie #2, not far behind lie #1… human caused “Global Warming” …er… or "Climate Change" (in case things don’t warm). Like evolution, when the proponents are challenged with holes in their assertions… we get condescension, name calling and attempts to silence and even outlaw all opposition… and there are plenty of scientists who question these climate change disaster assertions, you just don't hear about them in the media.

One of very by-products of life itself CO2... is now a pollutant. How many times has the climate in earth’s history changed? How many times has humankind caused it? It could be it's just happening again, on its on!

Could it be that what we have here is the 21st Century version of the pagan explanation that our mishaps are a result of “angry gods”? In the past thousands of years earthquakes, storms and other assorted catastrophes have required sacrifices of virgins, children and other unfortunate folks to appease the angry gods! Note that the high priests and shamans demanding these “necessary” sacrifices rarely were it victims.

Now we have Al Gore (poster child) and other self-appointed Chicken Littles and most of the media, just like the pagan shamans of old, demanding essentially the same thing… sacrificing freedoms and standard of living to appease Momma Earth. Some like looney-tune billionare Ted Turner are demanding we reduce earth’s population… (but not him) how does he plan for that to be achieved? (can you say Holocaust #2).

Note that the high priests and shamans demanding these “necessary” sacrifices like those of old, do not plan to do much sacrificing themselves (i.e. Al Gore's infamous utility bill).

One wonders… Why do most all the political "elite" class (sadly 'D' and 'R' alike) jump on board with this fraud?

Could it be… only a huge government, more and more totalitarian, can "solve" this "problem".

One thing for sure! to solve a phony "crisis" our REAL freedom will enter a permanent ice age! Buyer beware!!!

Washington D.C. & state capitals! Please Remember the First Rule of ANY Parasite...

2009-02-17T10:00:00.006-05:00

It’s said of and by politicians… “if ya rob Peter to pay Paul, you’ll always get Paul’s vote… until Peter runs outta money!” With this joke if a “stimulus” bill, I think we’re there! Our current crop of (mostly Democrat) politicos in the “puzzle palace” known as Washington D.C. has bought this philosophy wholesale! The current D.C. “servants” need to seriously remember that to do their wealth redistribution plans, you gotta first have some wealth… and an engine to create future wealth. Otherwise your plan is a one-time event, soon to wither! You have to allow Peter to keep enough of his hard-earned resources that he remains motivated to keep working! This sadly seems lost on our new President and Congress!

Please Barack, Nancy and Harry, remember the first survival rule of ANY parasite: “Don’t kill your host!” The Turkana and neighboring African tribes are known to bleed their cattle, mix the blood with the milk for a large part their protein requirements. They understand much better than our Washington “leaders” that in order to keep doing this, THEY MUST KEEP THEIR CATTLE HEALTHY… and not drain so much blood they kill the animal! Also, unlike our current crop of public “servants” they revere and care for their “producers” … instead of heaping contempt upon them! Washington! Please learn this lesson!

The sad irony of this is, our modern economies run only on confidence! With REAL value money (like tied to gold) long gone, confidence is all we have... Sooooo, when G.W. Bush last September, and B.O. today scream "we must do this ‘stimulus’ or die!" it leads to the opposite of the (alleged) desired result... while supplying $pending it destroys the very confidence the economy needs! The first indicator is usually the world stock markets… feel the confidence!

Another sad “reality” is socialist governments (which we are rapidly becoming) only function well when the people are willing to work for the “greater good” which essentially is working for nothing! People have a nasty habit of not wanting to do this… until we can break the “bad” habit of folks working for their own interest, socialist experiments are doomed to failure!

HERE WE GO AGAIN! President Barack H. Obama… Jimmah Carter on steroids?!?!

On Pearl Harbor Day, a Brief history lesson: Lefties and War

2008-12-07T10:35:00.000-05:00

Many Americans often lament the lack of a united front against our enemies that we had as a nation in World War II… geez, even Hollywood and the “Media” were on board! What is forgotten is this unity did not occur at first… communists in the West from 1939-41, were at best lukewarm, and at worst hostile to British/French resistance to Germany. This was a result of the 1939 non-aggression pact signed by Germany and the U.S.S.R. which gave Hitler the green light to attack Poland, an invasion later joined by the Ruskies. This pact also prompted the Soviets to attack Finland.

All changed on June 22, 1941, when Hitler betrayed the non-aggression pact at attacked the Soviet Union. When their precious “worker’s paradise” was in danger of collapse, the world's Lefties/Commies joined the war effort, thus we were “united”. President Roosevelt , along with many in his administration, also had a soft spot for the “great socialist experiment”, and were ever more anxious, to involve the U.S. in the war. Conveniently Japan accommodated on December 7, 1941, and World War II , the great liberal war, was in full fury!

Now I am the first to realize Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan’s evil desires for the world had to be defeated, BUT… the irony is, four years and 55+ million dead later, the U.S.S.R. was free of all serious totalitarian competitors. AND… for the next 45 or so years they would threaten world peace and freedom, and somehow… manage to seduce most of the West’s egotistic “intellectuals”. These “intellectuals”… now in the “wilderness” grab hold desperately for any replacement to their lost Commie "blanket"… and thus support all things anti-American, anti-freedom and anti-Christian, including Islamo-Fascism, which ironically (like Communism) upon gaining power, will destroy them first! Go figure… I think Lenin called them useful idiots.

While not likely, this "unity" could occur again... say Iran and/or Al-Qaeda attacks North Korea or Cuba... maybe Venezuela (I think China's getting too capitalist to qualify)... the lefties might again join the war effort. Hell, even Jimmah Carter or the New York Times might wanna fight!

Fun With Domestic Partners! (Or... "Gay" Marriage, let there be Chaos!)

2008-09-24T22:02:00.000-04:00

The University of Florida at Gainesville recently generated some controversy when in order to receive benefits from a new health plan, employees have to pledge that they're having sex with their domestic partners before qualifying for benefits. This was apparently designed to keep mere roommates from applying. After the news was reported nationwide the school announced it will “modify” its affidavit requirements. Requiring a declaration of a sexual relationship IMHO, has civil liberty and legal complications by the bushel, if you're going the demolish the tradtional concept of marriage, why require sex? That's just another limitation, like the sex of the partners!

In our new open liberal "we accept everybody” society, please explain something to me... Why do you have to have sex to be married or Domestic Partners? Some married couples don't have sex, like the couple on TV the other night (the guy weighed 700lbs, but that's another blog) ...and if the sex (like "Gay" marriage) of the partners is no longer an issue, why should such a "relationship" be limited to two people? Since the male/female aspect is now irrelevant, isn't it unfair that these "unions" be limited to only two people? (are we being “twoist” …is it time to stamp out the prejudice of "duoism"!). If we are going to rid ourselves of the old, outdated and traditional “chains” of male/female marriage, we are going to have to throw it all out and start over! But start where? All bets are off as any attempt to limit the definition is arbitrary and begs a challenge. Think what this will do for the polygamists, “fundamentalist” Mormon sects in the west will demand recognition for sure. Could this soon dissolve into chaos?

I will sue so my 5-piece dance band or my 25 member fraternity can declare ourselves "domestic partners" (we love each other)...and gain all the benefits of (what was once) holy matrimony? We will demand that all of us be covered under ONE family health insurance program.

Also, what if my sister is a widow and I'm divorced (so there is NO sexual connection in our relationship), why should we be prevented from pooling our families and getting ALL the benefits of marriage, if we declare ourselves "Domestic Partners"? Think about Aunt Bea and Uncle Charlie, they were vital "domestic partners" to their households (I am assuming there was no sex). In the headlong rush to destroy our Judeo-Christian roots advocates of "Gay" marriage and the like are opening a MAJOR can of worms (No pun intended). They say "we just want to do what’s fair”, but notice when you try to please everybody, you usually just screw it up for everybody.

Danger! Blogging!

2008-09-02T15:08:00.000-04:00

Just fer fun… read some movie “reviews” of Ben Stein’s movie “Expelled” but there’s a catch… as of now I have not seen a real review… nothing about was it clever?, funny?, poorly or well made… just the standard angry tirade and condescending putdowns against anyone questioning the “sacred” dogma of evolution… most have done EXACTLY what Ben Stein was illustrating! How’s that for irony? They are entitled to their prejudices and opinions… but I hoping for a review. Well I did see the word “loaded” at lot… and monkey, sucker, and the ultimate loaded word... Christian Conservative.

An Example: (from Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel)
“Shockingly, the ‘experts’ Stein hurls against evolution are disgruntled, under-credentialed academics dismissed from lesser colleges, they say because they say they wanted to teach creation rather than science. Other ‘experts’ in the film come from anti-evolution "think tank" cranks…”

Please Roger, open up... How do you really feel?

I guess “disgruntled” means not buying the evolution claptrap… or wanting to explore other options, to (try and) explain the incredible complexity of life. But anyone who questions the "faith" is automatically "disgruntled and under-credentialed"! That Darwinism is the cornerstone of modern atheism is not denied by anyone, especially atheists!

Which leads to this observation... Can atheists happy?... as they seem to be ALWAYS angry (at who?) and happiness and anger are exclusive of each other... (unless I guess, being angry makes you happy?)

When one rebels against G-d, all that is left is EGO... and ego has an insatiable appetite... must ALWAYS be fed, and is a fearsome merciless master! This is why most atheists deceive themselves into “presenting… as a superior intellect on every topic under the sun” and are soooo damn condesending... because that feeling of superiority is ALL they have! They are so pathetic!

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw one… “He who dies with the most toys wins” (wins what?) It should read “He who dies with the most toys… is still dead!”

Irrational religious fundamentalist monkey wrestling over bones with different stories…Part Deaux!

2008-08-31T11:00:00.000-04:00

The evolutionists at the Devolab at Michigan State University have been touting “AVIDA” a digital evolution software that is described as “a digital world in which self-replicating computer programs mutate and evolve. Avida allows study questions and experiments in evolutionary dynamics and theoretical biology that are intractable in real biological systems.” (the key word is “intractable”)

More at their website: Michigan State University Devolab.
Avida was featured as the cover story of the Feb. 2005 issue of Discover magazine.

Avaida allegedly demonstrates evolutionary processes that would take “miyons or biyons” (to quote the late Carl Sagan) or years to occur “naturally”. (Note: for this musing I am assuming Avida was intelligently designed by highly skilled programmers)… as a result Avida does EXACTLY was it programmed to do… demonstrate evolution as its “creators” assume it occured… geez are we back to that circular thing again? As a result Avida only “proves” evolution to those already convinced!

In the February 2005, article mentioned above, it is stated that “creationists” have tried to “break” the Avida model without success… which of course you can’t do because it does what it is intelligently designed to do… (again… prove evolution to those already convinced). The aforementioned “creationists” make the mistake of playing in the Avida “ballpark”.

Truthfully, Avida loses from the gitgo… cause it is intelligently designed to do what it does! I’m assumin’ again that in order for Avida to create “random evolutionary processes” SOMEBODY (playing God?) has to “push the button” to get it all started. Hmmmm… unless Avida just happened to appear one day, on somebody’s computer???????

Judicial Tyranny! What to Do?

2008-05-21T15:45:00.000-04:00

A recycle... but California just did this... what do ya do about activists judges who morph into tyrants in black robes?

Number one: You can’t solve the problem with new judges… conservative judges can be just as activist as libs (and… have you noticed how “conservative” judges have a nasty habit of getting liberal after a few years on the court!) The problem of judicial activism is… the other branches of government (aren’t they EQUAL defenders of the Constitution?) have allowed it to happen… some of this is intentional, like lefties knowing they cannot achieve their goals democratically… other (more important) is Constitutional ignorance!

We need a Constitutional “crisis” to set the situation straight! Imagine this scenario: The Court (say 5-4) comes up with outrageous ruling (we’ll use "gay" marriage)… President Bush (or whoever) responds thusly: “I ask my fellow citizens to consider this… what if the court ruled that because of past mistreatment, a minority group could print their own money… and the court ruled it MUST be accepted as legal currency! Would it be any LESS counterfeit because the court ruled? A gay marriage license is COUNTERFEIT! Just like a $7 bill… the court has NO authority to say different!!! Therefore, as a EQUAL defender of the U.S. Constitution… I MUST reverse this outrageous UNCONSTITUTIONAL ruling!

So I hereby, by Executive Order, instruct the Attorney General that this ruling WILL NOT BE ENFORCED! I ask the Congress to step into the breach of this conflict between equal defenders of the Constitution, and determine once and for all… Do the courts have veto power over the will of the people? If so, we are NOT a republic but are ruled by a dictatorship of black robes!”

Let the chips fall where they may! We clearly need a second “revolution” to put the courts back into their Constitutional intended position. A “crisis” as laid out above may be the only way to accomplish that goal… And as with all revolutions, there is an element of risk involved!!! We are only slaves if we choose to be!!!

Tis the Season... Media (again) goes Looking for the "Real" Jesus

2008-03-20T11:31:00.000-04:00

As the Holy Week leading to Easter approaches, the media types once again go searching for the "real" Jesus. The usual "suspects" ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN (et. al.) trot out "news" that tell us once more the "real" Jesus is NOT the Jesus in the New Testament... (the Savior that died for our sins and was resurrected.) NOPE! The real guy (choose one or more) was: the bastard son of a Roman soldier (maybe even gay), nuts... a fanatic among many of the day... and most definately DID NOT rise from the dead... yada, yada, yada. I suspect the late Peter Jennings, who some years back hosted one of the most virulent anti-Christian “specials” on the “real” Jesus… now knows different!

You will be like G-d...(sorta)

2008-02-29T16:22:00.000-05:00

Web Definitions:
Sovereignty is the exclusive right to exercise supreme
authority over a geographic region, group of people,
or oneself.

In our relationship with G-d our souls, our “personhood” are spiritually
sovereign, authough sadly, our bodies may often be held captive and worse by the other sovereign souls, with whom we share the planet. (see blog on “Who Created Evil”)

Genesis 3:5 "For G-d knows that in the day you eat of
it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like G-d,
knowing good and evil."

Sovereignty is one of the consequences of this encounter in the garden with Mr. Serpent (aka: Satan). Adam and Eve got part of what he offered. They (and we their subsequent generations) became “like G-d” in the sense that we became sovereign souls, knowing and responsible for good and evil. This changed the relationship with G-d, Adam and Eve's (our) eyes were opened and they lost the reflected glow of G-d’s glory and protection (the realizing they were naked thing). We all know the story, in G-d’s next appearance in the garden Adam and Eve fled His presence ("I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.". Gen. 3:10).

Adam and Eve (and as a result we) could no longer reside in the Garden
of Eden, G-d essentially told to them they had to go and make their own garden, but He made provision for them:
Gen 3:21 Also for Adam and his wife
the Lord G-d made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

In Genesis 3:22-23, G-d proclaims the spiritual
sovereignty of man: “22 Then the Lord G-d said,
"Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know
good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and
take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
forever" 23 therefore the Lord G-d sent him out of
the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he
was taken.”

Human history with all its drama had begun.

But G-d was not about to let serpent Satan destroy His creation... Jesus came to earth to die the atoning death to reconcile G-d and Humankind. But there's a catch: one must willingly accept this reconciliation. The non-Christian loves to bellow: “Who are you to say Jesus the only way?”. Well, first, I didn’t say it, Jesus did (John 14:6) so He’s either lying are telling the truth!

Your soul is sovereign, G-d will NOT violate your personhood, He has too much respect for you to make decisions for you! That’s why you must choose to subjugate your sovereignty to G-d’s before you can take Jesus as savior. While lost sinners who stubbornly refuse salvation break G-d’s heart, He WILL NOT violate their sovereign souls and force salvation upon them. That is why those who say “I am a good person, why would G-d send me to hell?” are so clueless! G-d does not choose for you to go to hell… YOU DO when you refuse Christ's offer of salvation! G-d has too much respect for your sovereignty to violate it, even if hell results.

Eternity lies ahead, my friend
. . . The future's not ours to tell
Don't put your faith in earthly treasures
for they can't buy your soul from hell.

If you don't call upon the Savior
and ask Him for His wonderful grace
You'll be trapped in the devil's dungeon
lost in the dark and evil place.

The RedNeckoBlogger weighs in on important issues of the day!

2007-11-30T10:44:00.000-05:00

The terrorist threat is always with us, gas is over $3 a gallon with no signs of reversing… the mortgage crisis is close to being the 21st century version of the S&L debacle … enough of the trivial stuff!

What are we gonna do about the BCS mess? What worthy college football team(s) is gonna be left on the sidelines when the top two BCS teams play for the glass football January 7, in New Orleans? Everybody has a “better” plan… including the RedNeckoBlogger!

First: let's "tweek" the regular season
Change regular scheduled season to ten games… to end the weekend before Thanksgiving… with a post-season option. If not selected for the 16-team playoff, a school can be invited to a smaller bowl game, or schedule a extra game (or two) with an opponent not normally on the schedule… a coupla 0-10 clubs could schedule a game with each other so SOMEBODY could WIN a game! Conference championship games would be the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Number Two: Selection process
Champions of the 11 FBS conferences would gain auto berths in the playoffs… five at large schools would be selected from remaining worthies… still subject to controversy of course, but no more than now.

Third: Selected schools will be seeded by a BCS Process
For the first two rounds home field advantage will be based on these seedings, and played the first two weeks of December. I would suggest beginning with the semi-finals (final four) these games be venued in the traditional big bowl format , January 1. Other January 1, games could select teams losing in the first rounds… we love football so a coupla consolation matchups would fill the rest of the big bowl new year’s day requirements.

The Big Game:
Will be played the "weekend after the weekend" of January 1, for 2008 it would be Friday the 11th or Saturday the 12th… in prime time, of course… this still, for teams with conference playoffs, would make a 15-game season for finalists… a lot, but the FCS schools have been doing this for years, and it works for them.

Can we could start next season?

ID Deniers!

2007-09-28T11:44:00.000-04:00

When one looks at the universe and chooses to turn their brain on, and their rebellion/prejudices off… one would conclude there is some seriously good programming involved. Every act of Earth’s creatures is a result of purpose. As biologists delve more and more into the inner workings of the cell, one is astonished at the complexity of its operation… nothing simple about it! This has inspired honest reflection by many scientists, this honesty I add not without risk, due to the current atheistic dogma in the biological “establishment” (Dogma that attacks and censors ANY opposing view).

The dogmatic evolutionists clearly see (but deny) that the rug has been pulled from under them, but their materialism is so ingrained that they now commonly twist themselves into pretzels trying to deny the obvious… that life is FAR too complicated to be an accident! (Hence the term ID Denier!). The irony of this is that they maybe (kinda) right on evolution… it has occurred! It’s just that all productive “mutations” fulfilled a purpose, that improves the survivability of the species (and that’s good… whatever “good” is). Taint no accident… a true example of evolution: say the horseless carriage to the modern race car, or the Wright Brothers flyer to the space ship, all occurred as a result of external intelligent input, based on things learned from earlier examples. Information that is used to improve the next version of the beast, (be it mechanical or biological).

The obvious fact the this universe is the product of an infinite intelligence, that for some reason is not palatable to many so-called evolutionary “scientists” has caused and interesting phenomenon… the morphing of evolutionary “science” into a religion, complete with high priests (Sagan, Gould, Dawkins, etc.). Their devotion is much more akin to religion that science, because under NO circumstances can their “theology” be disproved… it’s a matter of faith, beyond the realm of science… as new facts demonstrating the irreducible complexity of life are revealed, they are promptly denied (and previously noted, often repressed and censored)!

As “they” say, denial is not just a river in Egypt… it creates a blinding impediment the so-called “scientific method”. ID Deniers… open thine eyes and thy minds! (At least to honest debate).

I won't hold my breath!

They build walls too... or Good Walls/Bad Walls?

2007-05-23T10:31:00.000-04:00

There appears to be controversy over building a fence along the U.S. Mexico border... much of the opposition comes from the Left. Now help me here... the world leftists/socialists have no problem with some fences... Berlin wall for example. The question is... why are the world socialist's fences built? To keep people out... or in? It escapes me why the "workers paradises" like Cuba, North Korea and sadly now Venezuela... are not being overrun by illegal immigrants... 'cause according to the Left in America, life is MUCH better there than here... human beings are sure hard to figure out! When given an opportunity to live in the "worker's paradise" or the EVIL U.S.A. they choose the EVIL U.S.A. nearly every time... Hmmmmmm?????
