Beautiful morning here in central Fla., drinkin coffee on the porch, clear skies and temps in the low 70’s. It doesn’t get much better than this, huh?

To be honest, I’d not considered a post this morning. I had been just kinda glancin at the headlines last night, and to be shootin straight with ya, there couldn’t be a more appropriate title for breakin news, than it simply bein called, HEAD-lines.

My reasonin for this statement, well, it’s actually very simple…

After just a couple minutes of readin them, they give me…

A HEAD-ache!

Geez, what is happening in our Country today folks??

You’re tellin me this political atmosphere we live in today is condoned by the majority of the American people?

NOT!

First off, I read an article from Channel 10 News Tampa Bay, describing an incident on Flight 1880, from Reagan National Airport in DC, to Orlando International, where 4 middle-eastern males were observed moving around the plane…as if on some type of “dry run.”

http://www.wtsp.com/news/topstories/article/339104/250/INVESTIGATORS-Memo-warns-of-terrorist-dry-runs-on-planes

The 10 News Investigators contacted both US Airways and the Transportation Security Administration both confirmed the incident. US Airways says it won’t discuss the details of security measures, but that it works closely with authorities.

The TSA told us it takes all reports of suspicious activity aboard aircraft seriously, and the matter requires no further investigation at this time.

However, a current Federal Air Marshal who works flights every week says of the TSA, “They’re liars. They’re flat out liars.”

The Air Marshal, whose identity we are not revealing because agency rules prohibit him from talking to the media, says the TSA doesn’t want the flying public to be aware of the problems with terrorist probes.

The Air Marshal and others we have spoken to say several flights they have worked were targets of dry-runs and that most of his colleagues believe no matter what the TSA says, the incident aboard Flight 1880 is serious.

Until now, there has been absolutely no publicity about the US Airways flight from D.C. to Orlando International Airport, but security experts say incidents like this should not and cannot be ignored.

As the Federal Air Marshal and industry insiders tell us, “We’re waiting for the next 9/11 to happen, because it’s not a question of if. It’s a question of when.”

This from the “US Airline Pilots Association,” titled ,“9/11 Security Update.”

9/11 Security Update

Pre 9/11 Briefing by USAPA Security Chairman Steve Sevier and Committee Member Pat O’Laughlin:

Bringing down an airliner continues to be the Gold Standard of terrorism. If anyone thinks that our enemies have “been there, done that,” and are not targeting US commercial aviation — think again.

There have been several cases recently throughout the industry of what appear to be probes, or dry runs, to test our reaction to an inflight threat. A typical example is an incident that occurred just a few
days ago on one of our flights from DCA-MCO.

A group of Middle-Eastern males boarded in DCA. Shortly after takeoff, one got up and ran from his seat in coach towards the flight deck door. He made a hard left and entered the forward lav, where he stayed for a considerable length of time! While he was in there, the others got up and proceeded to move about the cabin, changing seats, opening overhead bins, and generally making a scene. They appeared to be trying to occupy and distract the flight attendants.

Coincidence?

There is another interesting twist to this case. It just so happens that on the return flight from MCO-DCA, with the same flight number, a group of 8 Middle Eastern females—concealed in full burkas—were

in the boarding area for the flight to DCA. This flight did not have a FAM team, even though it was supposed to have a significant VIP on board.

(He was rebooked when all these details were made known to his security detail.)

Coincidence?…

Then, I’ve been following the behavior of our National Park Service employees and their treatment of American citizens (sounds funny the treatment of American citizens…in America, doesn’t it)???

The Great Philosopher…Mao

Claude Moore Colonial Farm…

I’d never heard of it until…our government shutdown…with pay, mind you.

Seems the National Park Service USED to be involved with this farm, but that stopped in 1980, when they decided to cut the funding. Since then it has been run through an endowment by private citizens, thus operating through donations and volunteer work.

Remember that point, no NPS involvement since 1980, BUT…the NPS told the Claude Moore Colonial Farm to…SHUT DOWN!

The farm appealed this, but, the NPS sent officers to forcibly remove volunteer workers, AND visitors.

They’re forcing parks to close that they aren’t even involved in, simply because they…have been ordered to??

Hope and change…how ya likin that now folks? Very little hope, but PLENTY of change, huh?

This type of behavior has been seen at numerous sites, with one NPS officer quoted as saying… “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for the people as we can.”

That is one heck of a statement, isn’t it?

Course, an administration that considers, Mao Tse-Tung a great POLITICAL philosopher, what do ya expect?

Don’t believe me? Well, don’t take my word for it…I’m just the messenger.

Was gonna say, “Don’t SHOOT me, I’m just the messenger, but in today’s world…I thought I’d better phrase it a little more mildly! LOL!

But look guys, I didn’t pull this “Mao thing” outta the air…they OPENLY discuss it.

She referenced Mao and his goal of taking China over…not Mao bein elected, but…TAKIN OVER.

Sound familiar today?

Oh, she was misspoken you say…she made a mistake? hmmm…

How bout Ron Bloom, and his famous, Mao quote…talkin bout the barrel of a gun, guys.

Ya reckon that’s why they…WANT OURS??

“Your political power comes from the barrel of a gun? If you want a friend…get a dog?”

Yep…that’s why they want our guns.

I mean, how many of Mao’s own countrymen did he have killed…30 million? 40 million? Perhaps as high as 60 million??

Kinda easy to do when most of your countrymen are armed…with pitchforks, shovels and the like, huh?

You guys read where Bill Ayers talked openly with an undercover FBI agent, I believe, in regards to possibly having to do something with around 25 million Americans, who may not abide to THEIR (Ayers) political beliefs?

Just sayin…

In all honesty though, these people are very dangerous to us. Nothing, and I mean just that…NOTHING surprises me today.

Funny how it’s become unacceptable to say, “Merry Christmas,” here in America, huh? But not to me it isn’t, so let me wish you guys exactly that this morning, although a tad early…
“Merry Christmas!”

But, after watchin the video of the Mao ornament, I’m sure it WOULD BE politically correct to express it this way here in the good ole USA!

聖誕快樂;

This means… “Happy Christmas,” in…CHINESE!

Now if this actually DOESN’T mean Happy Christmas, don’t blame me…I looked it up on the internet.

It is SUPPOSED to mean Happy Christmas, but for all I know, it could be talkin bout our Mama’s or something!! LOL!

Now if the Chinese who were so unfortunate to have lost their lives under Mao’s regime could give ya a little advice today, I kinda figure it might go something like this…

保持你的枪
Bǎochí nǐ de qiāng

Translation…

“KEEP YOUR GUNS.”
Jus sayin!

Also sayin, that once more, in this translation as well, I’m totally dependent on the internet.

It might mean, “Ya want a little fish to go with that rice, ya’ll?” (which is…SOUTHERN Mandarin, I’m guessin? LOL)

Then we have the school in New York that banned ball from the playground during recess…no football tossin, no basketball shootin, no baseball chunkin, and no place kickin any dern soccer balls either?

Why??

They claim too many injuries.

Saw a comment declarin they oughta ban pencils and such in the classroom as dangerous to our kids too. ..even paper…ya know…paper cuts!

Then a school in Pennsylvania banned Halloween activities (but since has been reinstated)…cause…it might offend someone??

Good night a livin folks, what is goin on here?

There IS a Bigger Power

I read a devotional this morning.

I read it daily, and it is an app on my phone… “The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.”

I don’t know bout you guys, but I have ALWAYS admired Rev. Graham. I’m drawn by his ability to connect with people, and the sincerity in his own belief.

Here is his message…

Man hungers for food, and God sends the sun and rain upon the golden fields of grain. The grain is made into flour, and flour into bread, and man’s physical hunger is satisfied. Man hungers for love; and God ignites the fire of affection in another heart, and two hearts are made complete in the bonds of holy matrimony.

Don’t tell me that God can supply man with an abundance of everything material and yet will let him starve spiritually! . . . God will satisfy the hunger and thirst of those who desire His righteousness because He loves the world with an undying affection.

Prayer for the day…

You have abundantly supplied my greatest need, heavenly Father, for You have given me love.

You guys have a great day, and God Bless you and yours!

Also… “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

Oh yeah…

保持你的枪
Bǎochí nǐ de qiāng (Keep your dern guns!)

Doug and Lucky

This behavior demonstrated by our ELECTED (I still ain’t believing that??) officials, is a simple flaunting of… “the ends justify the means.”

I know to most this morning, I’m just “speakin to the choir,” but it still makes me literally shake my head at the goins on in our Country today.

What have we become?

Alinsky in Our Lives:

“Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgement to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history…the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively, that he at least won his own kingdom…Lucifer.”

By my reading that statement from Saul Alinsky, ideology, or whatever it is, I can’t help but come to the conclusion it is indeed okay to sell your soul to the devil…to obtain your goal.

I also understand that through Alinsky’s teachings, and what has been accepted by his disciples, is simply this…

Morals, virtues, goodness, integrity, truth nor values play any part in their beliefs or judgements. It IS though, only about…POWER.

THEIR POWER.

So you see…the ends DO justify the means!

This power exhibited today by our elected officials is the most blatant, in your face, total disregard for the will of the people that this Country has ever witnessed.

Law-abiding, hard-working, tax-paying, believers in our Constitution, and God, are labeled as…terrorists.

Of course we can’t leave out our title of being racist too.

Dr. Benjamin Carson hits the nail on the head quoting scripture speaking on… “Godless leaders.”

Can we label government today as a… “Den of Thieves.”

Certainly.

Take the time and Google up retirement packages for our elected officials, cash payouts upon retirement, double and triple dipping (if you don’t recognize those terms, Google them up as well), and of course, our elected officials and ALL their cronies are exempt from Obamacare.

Hmmm…what’s up with that?

First off, I can’t envision the term…Obamacare???

Honestly, I’m tryin to determine when Obama…

EVER cared???

Back to checking out the pension plans for public service employees, you need to take a quick look at one State in our Country that believes in your right to work, the American Dream, LEGAL immigration, very little taxation, representation of its citizens, and a State that does very well economically, day in, and day out…

California.

Jus kiddin!

Think on this a moment…

All data from “The Pension Tsunami.”

In 2005, there were 1,841 public service employees who pulled down over $100,000 a year in pension checks from the California Public Employees Retirement System.

$100,000 a year in pension checks! Listen again, that’s $100,000 people…a year!

Paid for by you and I.

Boy…we ARE the “silent majority,” huh?

By 2009, this so-called “100K club” had more than tripled…to 6,133!

At the end of 2012, membership more than doubled again….to 14,763!

That’s up 700% in less than a decade!

Wanta hear something else that’ll jump start your engine this morning.

Vernon California, which by the way is the SMALLEST incorporated city in the State, was represented at one time by a Mr. Bruce Malkenhorst.

I say “represented” because it seems Malkenhorst was once the city of Vernon’s city manager, finance director, redevelopment director, city clerk, city treasurer and head of the municipal light and power operation, pretty much at the same time.

His retirement pension, which by the way is…$540,882…a year.

Yep, ya read it right…$540,882!

CalPERS reviewed this last year and slashed it down to $115,000, but Mr. Malkenhorst dubbed this… “elder abuse”…and continues to fight it in court.

He continues to receive the $540,000+ until all his appeals are settled.

How small is Vernon you ask?

Population…112. (according to Wikipedia 2010)

Yep…ONE HUNDRED…and TWELVE!

Reckon “Den of Thieves” may in reality BE the perfect title for today’s government?

You tell me.

Our officials today want our guns as well.

I only have to look back in history and see the events that took place in the former Soviet Union, and China both, although there are many more examples of other Countries which advocated a no gun policy.

Shoot…talkin bout a no gun policy…look no further than Chicago! Gun control really has been helpin out there, huh?

As I am in favor, and very much so, of our RIGHT to keep and bear arms, let me toss out a little scenario here…

We live very rurally.

If we were to experience a break-in, or home invasion, I’m guessin the police response time would be in the neighborhood of 2 to 5 minutes…maybe more??

Is callin 911 an option with ARMED intruders in my home?

Certainly it is, and that’s just what my wife would be doin, or speakin to the company that monitors our home alarm system.

Durin all this though, I’d be dialin something up myself!

I’d be dialin…

357…

At the very least! LOL

I love Clint Smith’s statement, the owner of Thunder Ranch…

“Why do you own a .45?”

Cause they don’t make a .46!

When the general public is disarmed, I’m talkin the law-abidin general public, not the nut cases, we are then left open for most any type of assault you could possibly think of.

Criminals WILL have guns, no matter how the left attempts to spin it.

Anyway…

GOD in Our Lives:

On the flip side of the coin of all this madness, there are many good, good people out there who DO believe in our Constitution, just as it was laid out for us, who believe in integrity and values, a hard work ethic, and even, ya gotta come closer now cause I’m gonna have to whisper this (because of the PC Police)…

Go to church.

Let me say this startin off.

I am by no means perfect. Probably bout as far from this as anyone ever has been. BUT…I do try to treat others as I’d like to be treated. Sure, I fly off the handle from time to time, and will sling a word or two at ya that I really didn’t intend to sling your way…if ya tick me off.

But I’ve learned to ask for forgiveness, and honestly, the cuss words that not too long ago pretty much made up bout 35% of my vocabulary, today seem few and far between.

Possibly, this may have influenced the big gaps in my posts there for a while. Shoot, I didn’t know what to say to you guys, or, better yet…

HOW to say it! Lol.

My point to this is that God does work in mysterious ways. I am a prime example of this.

I have thought often about, “How in the world could our Good Lord ever possibly want anything to do with me??”

Well, for starters, He loves us, each and every one of us.

He’s always with us, and never puts more on us than we can bear.

Since becoming a Christian, on numerous occasions, God has put me with someone, total strangers most times, and we strike up a conversation and God becomes the centerpiece of our talk.

I was fixin fence one day alongside the road, and this young man stopped (today, ANY man under 45 I consider a YOUNG man!).

He offered to help, and me bein the appreciative, easy goin feller I am, I asked, “Humph…then why’d ya wait till I was stringin the last strand a wire to help?”

Not really, but I thanked him for his offer, and we just started talkin.

Before long, our conversation had turned to God, and we shared some things of how God had influenced our lives.

We had a great talk.

A point he made really stuck with me.

He explained that he used to be afraid of death. Death, particularly his death, bothered him and he thought of this often.

Then he considered his BIRTH…

He explained that while we were in the womb, what a great place for us it must have been. It was our “home,” and was our sanctuary. It kept us safe, and content.

As we grew in the womb, and the eventual birth experience neared, the leaving of “our sanctuary” must have indeed been traumatizing, wouldn’t you think? It was after all, the only home we’d ever known.

But, we came into this world, and the life we began to experience was exhilarating to us. Each day we grew, both physically and mentally.

We loved our family, and our friends…we loved life itself!

Each and every day opened new doors, and life itself was cherished, and with this, we began to realize our own mortality.

How could we ever possibly want this to change?

He then stated that with some thought, he began to realize that death, of which he’d been so frightened, would be a lot like leaving the womb.

Through knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, he realized that death too, was only a new beginning.

A new birth.

As wondrous as our life here on this earth had been, it couldn’t possibly hold a candle to this “eternal life” promised us by our Lord.

At that point he understood that death was nothing to be feared, but in reality, should be looked upon as our new beginning.

As he started leavin, he stated…”Ya know Doug. We just had church, right here…on the side of the road.”

He was right, that’s just exactly what had taken place.

Now, in my opinion, ya really don’t have to be an Einstein to decide what type of people you’d like to be around.

People whom the first part of this post was speaking of, or people like Eric, the young man who stopped to offer his help.

No matter what the left tells you, family values, a work ethic, morals, virtues, integrity, and religion all are needed in order for a Country to flourish.

These all lay the good foundation needed for a Country, or family for that matter, to prosper, based upon your or its principles.

I read an article from “Newsmax” this morning featuring the Rev. Billy Graham, and my only reason for reading this…was Rev. Graham.

Rev. Graham states, “Our early fathers led our Nation according to Biblical principles.”

“HOPE AND CHANGE,” has become a cliché in our Nation, and it is daunting to think that any American could “hope” for change from what God has blessed.”

He goes on to speak of “trendy faith,” or the tailoring by Americans today of their religion, or mixing their Christian beliefs with a little of this, or a little of that, with other religions of the world.

He speaks of society’s condoning or advocating this, “trendy faith.”

He warns by doing so, we have dismissed God.

What does this mean, or lead to?

How about “skewed thinking, and consciences that are desensitized to right and wrong, basing moral decisions SOLELY on what fits in with OUR individual preferences.”

Sounds familiar, does it not?

So, it seems today’s world is based upon a couple choices for us to make…

Christianity, and its roots in our Country’s greatness, OR…

“Alinskyanity” (ya like that, Alinskyanity…I jus made it up, LOL), and its immoral teachings?

The choice is yours.

Closing Out:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:3-16)

You guys have a great day, and God Bless!

Be sure to “keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

Doug and Lucky

How are you? Let me start off this morning by wishin all a very Happy New Year to each and every one of you!

Ya miss me? LOL!

I think my last post was around the 26th of November??

At that point I became, as some have said…a recluse. Actually I considered it more along the lines of… “prairie-doggin!”

I’d pop my head up ever so often, then, disappear again.

After a couple weeks I started getting calls and e-mails from friends and family, and it reminded me of Jimmy Hoffa when he went missin.

Alright, I guess it WAS more along the lines of Jiminy Cricket than Jimmy Hoffa…

Anyway, there was a lot of concern…from A LOT of people. Shoot, I didn’t remember that I EVEN KNEW that many people???

Okay, okay, ya take off the bill collectors and there REALLY wasn’t that many people callin on me!

Seriously though, there was a lot of…

“WHERE ARE YOU?”

Well, to be honest, I wasn’t sure either, if ya wanna know the truth of the matter.

BUT…I’m back!

I think?? LOL!

Man…these holidays were ROUGH, I’m here to tell ya, but, here it is 1/1/2013, and dern if I ain’t glad!!

2012 was great…up until June 14th. From 12:15 pm of that day forward, I began a whole new life. Not one that I had chosen, but actually one God chose for me.

Was I angry?

NAW…

You betcha I was! Not at anyone, or anything, in particular, but I was in fact angry.

I thought I was over the loss after a little while, thought I’d grabbed the bull by the horns once more, a character trait that has always helped me through any type of adversity that ever reared its head in my regard.

The truth of the matter was that I was lost.

I didn’t think I was, but yes sir, I was lost!

Thanksgiving was rough, but Christmas…was off the charts!

You know what though? I know in my heart now that this has passed. Darkness is indeed light once more.

I may not totally healed as of yet, but I gotta tell you guys, that the healing HAS now started…in earnest!

Life IS good again!

My “prairie-doggin” days are done!

Well, maybe not with the bill collectors! LOL!

But, with this being said, I’d like to say I’m sorry.

You guys have all been so awesome to Deb and I both. I love you all!

ALL your thoughts and prayers in our behalf are SO appreciated, and to be honest with you, my simply, “goin underground,”or, my “Dub time” as I like to call it, although much needed, and of much help to me, was unwarranted in your regard.

You deserved a heads up, for sure, and I failed to give you guys that. Not from my stop posting for a while standpoint, but from a, I didn’t drop a line or two here and there just to say…I’m fine.

Well, once again…I’m back, so suffer the consequences! See, YOU DO, have to be careful what ya wish for, huh? LOL!

So you’ll be getting “Dub’s point of view,” on most anything and everything that comes to mind!

Remember…you asked for it! LOL!

So startin off with that, here’s a” little food for thought” this mornin. Thoughts that I hope, can, or may, help others.

It never mattered to me what obstacles I faced! I simply…worked through em!

Never say never, was my motto. I never considered the word no as an option, about anything. In most cases, if I wanted something bad enough, my perseverance, my work ethic, and the word no, once again, never being a part of the equation, I just…went after it!

I gotta say though, that when Deb and I first met… “that Heifer” made me REALLY WORK for it! I’m not sure if I ever worked so hard in my life for ANYTHING, as when I fell in love with her.

Lookin back, there’s an old sayin that is SO appropriate in her and my regard…mostly HERS though!

“If ya want something bad enough…it’s worth workin for….and waitin for”

Well, the “workin for it part wasn’t too bad…but that waitin for it part, was killin me!” LOL

I always knew in my heart, that the only thing that could ever keep me from reachin my goals in life, ANY of them, was simply me.

If you fail from time to time at something, and we all do at one point or another, you don’t consider, “Oh my goodness, that didn’t work out so good, huh? I’m through!”

Many think, “Dern, I failed because of him or her, or this or that, or I failed because life just isn’t fair.”

Well, in reality, life ISN’T fair, BUT, life IS…what YOU make it!

God created us all, right?

Yes, he surely did.

Did he create us all equally? Yeah, I’d have to say that he did just that.

BUT…that’s where the equality factor stops.

It’s up to YOU, whether you’re a leader or a follower.

It’s up to YOU, whether you’re successful or not!

It’s up to YOU, to decide if you want something bad enough that you’ll put forth the EFFORT to work, “daylight to cain’t,” if that’s what it takes, in order to see it through, or, “seal the deal.”

In all reality, YOU DO indeed, reap what YOU sow!

Proverbs 6:6 begins…

Take a lesson from the ants…you lazybones!

Read it guys…you’re supposed to work!

Another example is from Proverbs as well…Proverbs 16:26

It is good for workers to have an appetite;

An empty stomach drives them on.

Doesn’t seem to be the case today, does it? Seems as if our fellow citizens and our children as well, are being taught this is simply NOT the case. No, no!

Today we’re told that what others have…is ours too. This through what our elected leaders describe as…social equality, yet in truth, actually is much better described as…social poverty!

The “dumbed down,” yep, it really is indoctrination, society our leaders have been so outrageously successful in creating, actually BELIEVE, our leaders are in fact…helping them.

Now in all honesty, that IS dumbed down, is it not?

Today we read about our leaders working so hard, so exhaustedly, in saving our butts from going off this…Fiscal Cliff.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it so hard to grasp that these leaders of ours working so hard to save us from this, are in reality, the very SAME people…who got us into this mess!

We’ve become a Nation of…IDIOTS!

The worst part of all this is simply that…we’ve got NOBODY to blame except ourselves! We allowed this to take place…a little here, and a little there!

Have we been complacent?

Ya reckon??

In our regard, from a complacency standpoint, we now have a government that runs amok in self-centeredness, self-greed, and self-power.

We’ve turned away from our Godliness as a Nation, yeah, they’re taking that away from us too, and in turn have become…a Nation of fools.

We turn to Proverbs once again…Proverbs 17:12

It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs

Than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.

Our leaders today have become pretty arrogant in their power, huh? Actually pretty arrogant being possibly the understatement of the century, huh?

Evil seems to be more appropriate I’d say.

Look at Proverbs 16:30

With narrowed eyes, people plot evil;

With a smirk, they plan their mischief.

Then Proverbs 16:27

Scoundrels create trouble;

Their words are a destructive blaze.

Hard to imagine any type of destruction being any more disruptive than the continued loss of our freedoms and liberties that our Founding Fathers laid out for us.

Overreaching government is the name of the game today. More and more power for them, while “We The People” have literally became a past tense.

Through things such as political correctness, a media gone to bed with the left, our educational system in bed with the left as well, excessive government spending (there’s another one of those understatements again), excessive government regulation, excessive taxation (which is fixin to get much, much worse), unionization, reverse racism, and AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, our liberties are no longer liberties, but instead…allowances!

We’re ALLOWED to do this, We’re ALLOWED to do that.

We’re no longer ALLOWED to think for ourselves, raise or discipline our children as WE see fit, right down to…what they eat!

Look around you guys! Are any of you happy with society as we know it today?

Now they want our guns.

Was this past shooting a tragedy?

How could anyone in their right minds not consider it as that? Sure it was. A tragedy in the worst sense of the word!

Yet, once more, in such a senseless shooting as this, it was perpetrated by…a NUT!

My heart goes out to all the victims, their families and their friends! It is terrible that once again, society has stooped to such a level. Once again, I have to consider the restraints applied to us anymore of our religious convictions, and our governmental restrictions placed on them.

BUT, I have to again consider the restrictions placed on our lives by our elected officials as well.

It’s everywhere people, and now, through a shooting once again carried out by a “bad apple,” “We The People” are clearly being targeted once more by a government that’s whole objective is to simply control EVERY facet of our lives.

Don’t let a crisis go to waste is their motto, and boy howdy, have they gotten good at NOT letting a crisis go to waste!

This latest, is one more fine example of this.

Multi-capacity magazines, rifles, pistols, and the like, are all under attack.

Funny thing though, the hardworking, freedom loving, LAWABIDING , tax paying American is the one most likely to suffer once more.

You outlaw guns, then quite frankly, only the outlaws WILL have guns! Yes, it really is that simple.

Our leaders tell us, “Oh, you don’t need these types of weapons to…hunt. ‘

No, actually you don’t, BUT, their statement is only a smokescreen for their TRUE intent….CONTROL!

Contrary to our leader’s statement of hunting as the reasoning for this new round of gun control activity, in reality, our 2nd amendment states it a little differently…as our protection from a tyrannical government.

I won’t bore you with the numbers of all the different regimes worldwide that oppressed, silenced, and MURDERED their own citizen’s.

I will say though, that you only have to look back in history, and the numbers are in the tens of millions.

One reason for this taking place…gun control.

With the atrocious conduct of our leaders today, and their TOTAL quest for ABSOLUTE power, what is probably the one most detrimental fact they realize that can indeed put a stop to their madness, or at the very least, cause them caution as to how they go about…finishing the job?

OUR GUNS!

Give em up people…and kiss your remaining freedoms goodbye! Sayonara!

I, by NO MEANS, am advocating violence of any kind. It goes against all my morals, virtues, and standards, BUT…so does the loss of my freedom, my children’s freedom, and my grandchildren’s freedom.

This is too heavy a price to pay, or cross to bear. We must not, or cannot, allow this to happen.

It is OUR RIGHT, as citizens of this Great Nation…to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS!

Again, not to hunt, but to protect ourselves from our own governmental powers!

It’s pretty obvious that citizen’s armed with single shot, three shot, or even five shot weapons have little to no chance of protecting their freedoms from governments run amok.

Broken down into “football lingo,” the best offense…is a good defense!

Well, I’ll closeout on that note…

See, I tried to tell you to be careful of what ya wish for, cause…I’m back!

Still miss me?? LOL!

Thank you all so much, once again, for all your concern. I’m just fine. Thank you!

God Bless you all! I hope with all my heart that 2013 is the very best year any of you guys have ever experienced!

Let me say goodbye for now, with a saying from one very special lady, who I promise you today, is one very special angel.

She lived this expression each and every day of her life, and I promise you she wants every one of us to live it as well!

From Deb to us all…

Please be sure to “Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

I love you guys, and thanks for everything. You truly are a blessing in my (our) regard!

Let’s get started with today’s topic.

First off, let me state emphatically that I condone our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms! No question, or argument, could possibly persuade me to consider thinking otherwise. It is a necessary preventative in helping to keep America and its citizens free. No question.

Yet today, and in times past, the liberals have, and still press forward into forcing us into “gun control!” Many states don’t allow the purchase of handguns, or frown upon the ownership of guns regardless of the type of weapon you have.

This to me, is a repressive action that has NO legal or Constitutional right to be enforced period. Yet by so doing, countless people have been harmed, or killed by such action through home invasions, car-jackings, inadvertently walking into a robbery in progress, or even simply going out to a restaurant for a meal.

Read the papers, listen to the radio, or watch television. These things happen daily.

Yet our administration, our media, and our liberal counterparts, STILL, call for gun control, or even worse, the loss of our rights to own guns period. This is insanity.

There is much to be said for the old adage… “If guns are outlawed, then ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS!”

Personally, I like the expression I believe to be coined by Mr. Clint Smith, of Thunder Ranch…

“Why do I carry a .45? Cause they don’t make a .46!” Amen Brother!

Let me share with you guys a video sent to us by a good, good friend of ours, John. Although we had seen this prior, he hits the nail on the head that in reality, this ought to be required viewing every once in a while, and these are exactly my sentiments as well.

The points made in this video are blunt, straightforward, and with absolutely zero political correctness or concern of their point offending anyone. Although I personally see no reason for any offense to be taken, nor could possibly understand how any COULD be taken!

Truer words have never been spoken, and I agree with everything this man has to say! When it comes to a bad man versus a victim being killed, hands down I place my vote in the corner of seeing the bad guy killed! Or, if using a firearm…him being “blown away, every time!”

Yet John also had sent us an e-mail here just recently too concerning freedom of speech today. We shared this just recently with you guys, but now is a prime example of its meaning once again in regards to watching this video.

Why, because the man in the video, Ted Nugent by the way, IS speaking the truth, and John’s earlier e-mail tells exactly how the truth becomes distorted…through “political correctness.” Here goes…

“TRUTH…it’s the new Hate Speech!”

“During the times of universal deceit, telling the TRUTH becomes a revolutionary act!”

George Orwell

Very well said, yet pretty depressing in regards to the goings on in our Country today.

Here’s the video. Again, listen to the points he makes in defense of our God given right to keep and bear arms…

What a great guy, sharing his views, again the very same views that Deb and I share, without giving one flip about what the left might think! Why…the truth! Right versus wrong. Good versus evil! I too would rather the lady, or victim being alive, and the carjacker being dead. This is simply…logic.

Look at our children and the terrible consequences they face if kidnapped. Most times by child molesters. Most times again by REPEAT child molesters! What in the world could possess a judge to turn out onto the streets a convicted child molester?

This once more, to me, is literally insanity.

Why? I’ll only offer my opinion of this in regard to but ONE reason.

How about…it is an offence to discipline our own children. Many times today parents are incarcerated, and even their own children are TAKEN from them for whipping their child! Their child! Who obviously had done SOMETHING to warrant such punishment.

Now, before you liberal minded are outraged by such a statement, I’m talking about a whipping…NOT A BEATING. I know you libs don’t want to hear it, BUT there IS a difference, a HUGE difference between the two, yet to discuss this further would literally be a waste of my own time AND breath.

You guys simply refuse to hear things any other way than either your own indoctrination, or your attempt to indoctrinate others into your own, “the worlds a perfect place,” ideology. I just gotta say, the world’s NOT a perfect place, and will NEVER be a perfect place. Sorry…

But in today’s judicial system we cannot punish our child, yet these same powers that be, DO turn out child molesters, and EVEN child killers back out into society…AND our children?? How can these two things possibly be called…lawful? They aren’t!

Basically, you can’t punish your child. Is that a correct assumption? Yet, by owning a gun to protect your child from such predators this ISN’T lawful in many states? I can only state… “God Bless us all!”

Even worse, many times after using a firearm to protect you, or your family, the court systems try to prosecute you, most times due to a technicality. Good night a livin, what have we become here in this great Country of ours? The word peasant comes to mind…

Our police force, as good as most are, simply cannot keep us safe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days out of the year. It is an impossibility, plain and simple, no matter how good our police force’s intentions are! It cannot physically be done. So, we MUST protect ourselves most times!

Getting off this topic, and looking at one other very quickly, I’d like to share one other video with you guys this morning. This one sent to us by our good friend Gary. Thank you Gary!

This video pertains to the “dumbing down” today of our society, and our children, and in our children’s regard…through education.

Listen to this very carefully. It lays out for you the agenda of today’s leaders, both abroad and the US. The one world order our politico’s proclaim as totally untrue, is but one more of their lies to… “we the people!”

Once more, please pay close attention. She also discusses taking our children, children who believe in God and Country, and through programming, changing their views of these things into believing in atheism and not believing in our Country. All in ONE HOUR. Indoctrination is indeed the word here!

In closing, pray for our Country, pray for our children, and pray hard that we the people can rid our Country and ourselves, of such blatant corrupted ideologies being enforced upon us by, our leadership! If indeed leadership is what you can call it!

Take care and God Bless. Through it all Deb still asks that you keep a smile on your face, AND one in your heart!

Dub and Deb
