Something to Sing About...

The look on Charlie Gibson's face during his news tease Friday nite was priceless. Anger, confusion, bitterness, consternation, dismay, all were clearly visible in the ten second tease about Sarah Palin's selection as John McCain's VP running mate. I loved it! And to look at George Stephanopoulis' expressions was even more enjoyable.

It was clear these two 'stalwarts' of the ABC news team were as taken back by John McCain's announcement as any- probably even Mrs. Palin, our new and first woman VP Elect. (Of course, no one can tell who I'm voting for after reading this.)

Neither of these men seemed able to comprehend how their (the press') so carefully laid plans could so quickly be overturned. This momentous occasion gave Gibson, the press et-al, and especially Barack Hussein Obama, a true Master's Class in how to play Political Chess.

And to listen to Sarah Palin's acceptance address was to listen to a real American Lady, one unafraid to speak her views, let her position be known- especially to those we know will oppose her to the bitter end. To listen to her soaring rhetoric, her clear, unstammering speech, her praise of the military, her party and it's current star was joy to the ears. To hear her boldly announce her son would soon be in harm's way, to learn of her youngest child's syndrome, her family's achievements and activities, filled my heart with pride in knowing she will soon be representing me, and all Americans, in the White House. To know we will have an honest American in a position to actually help America created a flutter in my heart and the thought came to me: It's about time! (Now, I'm no on-camera reporter, and didn't get a 'tingle up my leg' or 'a chill down my spine' as I listened, but I did get a swelling in my heart to know that, perhaps- just maybe- my country hasn't forgotten what it's like to "be American".

Not once did she utter any phrase or word that stung of dis-enchantment with America, of not loving and being proud of her nation. Of course, an extremely bitter pill for Michelle Obama, who for certain was watching from her less than ostentatious home and wishing at every moment for some dastardly event to unfold, for some calamitous happening to befall Sarah Palin. I'm certain B. Hussein lit up half a pack of smokes when he saw a truly honest American Lady (wearing a skirt, of all things!) march boldly, confidently onto the stage as she was announced by Senator McCain.

Ladies and Gentlemen of America- we quite possibly do now have an opportunity to let our voices be heard in the hallowed corridors of the building we call the White House.

Let us pray this be in God's perfect Will for America- that we can at last get back onto an even keel. That finally special interest groups and minority voices will no longer make the rules and laws for this country. That the Supreme Court will now understand its position is to enforce, not legislate, from its exalted bench. That life will once again be sanctified, upheld and honored rather than destroyed. That our borders will be made safe, our homes be protected, their owners allowed to protect themselves and loved ones. Perhaps now God will smile benevolently upon this nation again and we can hold our heads high, not feeling the weight of accusation, the burden of self-loathing the environmentalist faction lays upon our heads daily.

Perhaps now the world will again see what truly great things America can accomplish.

Oh- and Charley Gibson? Well, it certainly didn't take him long to begin his barrage of negative comments. But then, what can we expect from communists?

'Nuff said for now.

God Bless America.

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.
There is no room for argument there. God created it all. Any who say life "evolved" from a primordial mass created after a "big bang" is taking a greater leap of faith than those who believe the Scriptures. Where did this "stuff" come from to go "bang"? It's "always been there." Yup. Uh-huh. Always. Talk about a leap of faith. It's more easy and justifiable to believe God spoke it into existence. Takes a lot less Faith, and a more rational Faith.

Each and every day is ordained and established by God. He directs the steps of those who seek Him. He also allows the steps of those who don't. Regardless whether we believe or not, He is in control. So give Him the honor due and attempt to glorify Him with our lives.

Sit-coms do all they can to belittle the honest working father, the man doing his best to rear a family in an unjust world. They especially enjoy belittling the white fathers. Is it any wonder children have no respect for their parents, teachers, law-enforcement officers or others in authoritative positions? Teach children their parents are bumbling idiots undeserving of respect and there is no God in control and then complain when they commit acts of violence on the streets and in their schools. Take out God and put in metal detectors and armed security.

Glorify criminal behavior in films and on TV, in the papers, on the talk shows. Glorify nudity and multiple marriages and promiscuous and deviant sex. Make the life of a fish or bird or wolf or tree or salamander more valuable than a human life. Teach "values education" in schools where children can make decisions about who would be worth saving more than another. Teach children it's "Okay to be "different" in lifestyle regardless what it is." Teach children that it's wrong to defend themselves when bullied, that "zero tolerance" is the answer to the problem and then be unable to enforce it because bullies don't pay attention to rules any more than criminals do.

Create new "laws" that will not and cannot be enforced by authorities already over-stretched attempting to enforce the laws already written. More useless laws to conceal stupid laws enacted by fools who pay no attention to the laws themselves, feeling above and superior to law. Remove the rights of honest people so they are more defenseless against the criminal element. Remove the rights of honest people so they are more easily controlled by a "ruling class".
Remove the hope and Faith of honest people so they are more easily swayed to believe anything they are told by a single-minded media. Feed people a steady diet of fantasy so they believe that is what matters in their lives.

Continually denigrate God-believers and those with absolute ideas of right and wrong, of good and evil.

Continue to teach our children that in America it isn't the Constitution or laws that matter, only how loudly you can raise your voice or how much you can pay a special interest group to advocate your cause. Show our children that Patriotism is dead, that anyone anywhere can do as they please in America because that is their "right as Americans". Then show them that Americans really have no rights compared to those here illegally. Show our children that foreigners who war against us have more Constitutional rights than Americans. Show our children that we are going to pay the bill for all the world except those born American. Show our children we are willing to rebuild the countries that war against us, but not our own ravaged areas.

It is my contention The United States of America has lost its moral compass and is falling for the Hollywood hype, falling for the "mass media" depiction of what we should be. We need to get a renewed excitement for the honest things of God. We need to get a renewed excitement over family matters, of teaching our children right from wrong with an honest Guide. We need to rebel against the media hype and show them through our actions what we believe in, what direction we want this country to go, to grow in. We need to get our act together, to repair the wrongs in America and say "to hell with the rest of the world" until we get ourselves righted.

We need to forget about rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan and Africa and Mexico and South America and Europe and Russia. We need to rebuild America first: Physician, heal thyself, then heal others.
