We Surround Them

Taken from the Glenn Beck site. Glenn is asking anyone who agrees with even just 7 of these 9 to send in a picture. And please pass this along via blogs and email!

Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?

Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?

Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?

If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.

We surround them.

So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common. I urge you to read the instructions at the end for how to help make your voice heard.

The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

You Are Not Alone

If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone. Please send a digital version of your picture to: wesurroundthem@foxnews.com and then stay tuned to the radio and television shows over the coming weeks to see how we intend to pull back the curtain.

Female orgasms tied to money

Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance.

They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.

“Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.

New Hardware

Tuesday I decided upon a project with some of my pictures. I had been mulling over which ones to print out and work with and I had finally settled on several. I came home to find there had been a power outage. But not just any power outage. One that created a huge noise when the transformer blew up. Well, everything worked normally, except the PC of course. The PC wouldn't boot.

Lovely.

Wednesday night I got my hands on a power supply tester as well as a power supply from my sister's old pc. The PS tested just fine. Great! That means that the cheapest part to replace is fine. Thursday everything is closed so Friday I get to go out and buy new motherboard, RAM and CPU. Get it installed, and nothing. Still won't boot. Back to the store and got a new power supply and NOW it boots. Now I just need to get everything tweaked back to the way I like it and all should be good.

Oh, those pictures? Still can't do 'em. All my hard drives are older which means they all require IDE interfaces. New motherboards only come with one IDE interface so I can connect the DVD and one HDD. One more piece of hardware and I am all hooked up!

Oh yeah, Qwest... I could get a connection for 5-10 minutes after bootup then Qwest would boot me off. Got that fixed tonite too.

Two good things came out of this I guess. One is a faster computer (old was a single core 2 Ghz. This is dual core 2.7 Ghz) The other is the fresh realization that I don't need this stupid thing except for pictures.

Call To Dunkirk

Exodus Mandate is pushing their program "Call to Dunkirk" which is a 1 year push to get Christians, their Churches and their Organizations, to push to get their children out of the public schools and to quit "offer[ing] up our children as living sacrifices to the Molech of government schools." I have said this numerous times and will do everything in my power to homeschool my son as I will never willingly give my son up as a sacrifice to the false gods of this world. Please pass this info along to your pastors and rabbis that they too might take part in this.

Do it for the kids! (o=

Year End Donations?

If anyone is thinking of year end donations, or have ever wanted to sponsor a child, now would be a good time to look at organizations like World Vision and Compassion International. In addition to child sponsorships, World Vision also has other options such as providing clean water or animals which can help an entire family or even community. Also, please don't overlook the "Last Chance Kids" which are defined by being age 10 or over as people are more willing to sponsor the younger children. These children are at a critical age and will soon be making an impact in their community, for good or evil. Sponsoring them would have a greater impact quicker than a young child would.

Is it love?

Or just lust?

I dunno, but this girl is awesome!

Of Paul, the Election and the Meltdown

I am an unabashed supporter of the only Republican candidate who had the slightest clue of the coming Meltdown, as well as the only one with an answer beyond prescribing the patient more of the poison that is killing him. I even supported him financially, tho what I gave was indeed a pittance. (Not the widow's mites, but not much more.) I would truly have loved to see him competing in this sham of an election. But now I have perhaps a change of heart about the above. Some will call this heresy but hear me out!

As stated above, Paul is the only one with an answer. Paul's answer, of sound currency small government and fiscal responsibility, is not perhaps real popular with the markets and certainly not with the powers behind the market. A sound currency limits profit from ever increasing fractional banking and a system of derivatives that is many times larger than the economy itself. Small government and fiscal responsibility would end more than a few companies "free rides" that they receive in the form of contracts that pay far above what the market would otherwise bear.

Now the Meltdown is really the key factor in all of this. The question about this meltdown isn't that it was coming. Its been written on the wall for 95 years now. The question is, was this artificially brought to a head before the election? Normally the FED smooths things out for election years but this year it was either beyond their ability to do so, or they did not care to. The FED sat on rates a few times over the last winter when the markets were calling for cuts. There is also some evidence that JP Morgan Stanley withheld a large sum of money from Lehman Brothers that would have kept them solvent, rather than being one of the many casualties. One should note that this is not a precedent for Morgan Stanley, who did this at least once before, in the days leading up to the Great Depression.

Regardless of whether or not this was caused to happen before the election or it was just its natural timing I can be sure of one thing. The media would lay the blame for the Meltdown on Paul. They would give the public numerous stories about how Paul's sound currency beliefs and the dreaded "Gold Standard" were causing the markets such fits that everyone was getting out of the market before Paul took office. The constant harping that the Old Media is capable of would convince the public that it was indeed Paul's fault and they would run in the direction of the one whom the media would no doubt cast as an even greater man than they already cast the Obamessiah.

So that sums up the reason that I am glad that the Repugnicans did everything they could to keep the only informed candidate among them from the nomination. Paul's winning would have seen his name tarnished and his beliefs and those of our Founding Fathers.

In closing let me include a quote that I have put up on this blog before:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson in 1802 in a letter to then Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin

A difference in perspective

I was speaking with a friend who is a huge movie buff. We came upon the subject of horror movies (I don't like them myself. Like chick-flicks, they are too predictable) I have only seen one horror flick that I thought was worthwhile, The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Having had an encounter with the supernatural (two actually) I know that there is absolutely NOTHING scarier. My friend had thought that 28 days was scarier because it "could really happen."

Now, being a Christian and having no fear of EOTW scenarios (please note this is not the same as EOTWAWKI) I don't get much from "real" scenarios. Largely because I have faith that such things will never come to pass. Scarier by far is the fact that the spiritual realm is indeed real, and that we all dismiss it at our own peril.

There are things happening all around us, at all times, that were we aware of these actions it would truly change our lives. Angels, both Divine and Fallen, influence our daily lives, as well as world events. They seek to guide us, to Salvation or Death, towards the Light or away from Him.

On a somewhat related note, I came across a pre-release edition of Vox's "The War In Heaven" It was a good read, and I am now going to have to find the release editions of the entire trilogy.

The Mostest Important Election EVER

Its official! It is now the Mostest Important Election EVER! It has been fully declared so by Sen. Joe Biden.

Forget the last two elections which were ALSO the mostest important elections ever which really only goes to highlight JUST how mostest important this particular election. In fact, if you were born after 1932 you have never seen such an important election, of course that goes without saying as this is, indeed, the mostest importantest ever!

LG: Week 1

Alright, one full week has now gone by. How many of you have done them every day so far?

I have a confession. I failed to do them both saturday and sunday! I'm a bum! However, I did make up for it and I also went on a 4 hour hike on Sunday. Its my excuse anyways. Whats yours?

The Final Solution

I HAVE IT!

I have THE answer to our problems!

I call it the Final Solution.

It goes like this...

Round up all 546 of our (DC) ruling class.

Take all the ones that are pro-abortion and administer an abortion upon them. We can then make a profit for the people by selling their bodies parts just like the "products" of abortion are sold today.

Take all the ones that are pro-war and take them up in a B-52 and drop them like bombs over Iran's nuclear facilities.

Take those who put the environment above people and end their life so that they can finally stop polluting Mother Earth. Then plow their lands and homes and turn them into national parks. Bonus points if we can use their bodies to fertilize these new parks.

Take those that are for militarized police force and place an anonymous call to their local SWAT team.

Take all those who would steal, at gunpoint, from one to give to another (for people or corporations) and go ahead and take, at gun point, all that they have and distribute that wealth.

Take all the ones that are for debt and endless inflation, confiscate their wealth and distribute it amongst the people and then throw them in the vats so that we can use their corpulent bodies to print more money.

If there are any left that have not been caught in the above sweeps, they are fit to rule and should be placed at the highest level of government that is not already filled.

A bit extreme? Perhaps. But a lot cheaper than a bailout package that will start out at 700 Billion ($700,000,000,000) and will likely end up costing WELL over 1 Trillion ($1,000,000,000,000)

Bailout Madness

First of all, I urge you all to contact your Senators and REpresentative and let them know how you feel about this proposed bailout. You can look up their numbers on USA.gov

Now, on to the September Madness...

What exactly is happening here? Its like we have a bunch of hoodlums in a glass house, who have all just ran out of rocks to throw. And here we are, seriously considering giving them MORE! Are we STUPID? Did they not do enough damage with the last truckload of rocks we gave them? Obviously some people up on the Hill have lost their marbles. Maybe we can round all those up and give THOSE to the hoodlums.

A bailout (which will no doubt pass despite the opposition of the public) will not fix the problem. At best it will simply push the pain off for yet another day at which time it will be even worse.Our financial house of cards has been built upon constant inflation, but you can only blow up a balloon so far before it bursts. And once it does, its irretrievably broken.

How about we start paying attention to REAL economic theories, instead of the ones that depend upon magic fairies and Hope™. How about listening to the words of those who have been warning of this day for the last few decades (Anyone remember Ron Paul?) There are answers. They aren't going to be painless, but pain is coming our way one way or the other.

LG: The Kickoff

Today is day 1. Numero Uno. Time to step up and get our collective booty in gear.

I did mine on lunch. How about y'all?

And for the record, I intend to post once a week so that we can all give updates, excuses and so we can harass each other as appropriate!

Hindu Squats

The type of squat to use for LG is the Hindu Squat. Its apparently different than what most people think of when they think of squats. Done properly the HS is actually quite aerobic.

To perform an HS start off with your feet about shoulder width and your arms at your sides. Your arms will move in s somewhat circular fashion and will assist you in getting back up. From the standing position start to go down, bending only at the knees and bring your arms slightly behind you. When you get to the bottom of the motion, swing your arms in front and up, and bring yourself up with your legs so that your arms are horizontal to the floor at the same time as you get back up to the standing position.

This video gives a good demonstration. For the record, he does them faster than I do, so no worries if you find that you can't keep up. Mine look more like the slow motion ones in this video.



Its a pretty easy exercise that will give you some cardio and work on your legs and balance at the same time. And tho they are easy to do, they really are a good workout.

Lickable Galore: The Challenge

So here is the deal guys (and gals) I am issuing a challenge to all my readers.

Starting this Sept 23rd, LG: The Challenge begins.

What is LG? Its a small challenge to do two simple things each day, push-ups and squats. The Challenge is to do one of each per day, per day of the challenge. That means one pushup and one squat on day 1, and doing two of each on day 2, etc etc. The date was chosen to get us all to 100 of each by the end of the year.

The rules are simple:

Increase the number of PUs and squats by one each day of the challenge

Break them up in whatever grouping you are comfortable with. For example, on day 30 you could break it up into sets, perhaps doing 3 sets of 10, or 2 sets of 15 (or 30 sets of 1 if that works for you!)

Perform the PUs and squats however you need to to get to the goal. Its about improvement, not doing them "right." If that means you do some or all of the PUs on your knees, so what?! Need a chair for an assist on the squats? Great! Just get them done. Again, improvement and habits are the goal here, not stressing out over what other people think.

The benefits? Improved health, greater usable strength, and other benefits as only WW (who was the inspiration for the name) can describe! Also, you can think of it as a pro-active diet for the holidays. We all know we are gonna eat too much, we might as well start dealing with it now! And if you have kids have them join us to (Birdie&Eagle, Heidi)


Hat tip to WW for inspiration of the name.

Man loses eye

A Christian man who threatened to kill two women because they are atheists was injured trying to attack them and will lose an eye.

Russell Bowman showed up at the women's apartment with a large knife and was confronted by another resident with a shotgun. When Russell continued to advance, the butt-end of the shotgun struck his face and Bowman's eye will need to be removed.

And this is a shame! This man should be supported! DEATH TO THE INFIDELS!

Oh, well, on second thought I may have gotten some of the details confused... Lets see...
Christian: Check
Atheist: Check
Shotgun: Check
Eye: Check
Media Saturation: ...

In light of the lack of media coverage I have conducted further investigation in the Colorado Springs Gazette and it appears that Russell Bowman calls himself an atheist and it was the women who were Christians and that Russell was threatening to kill them because they were Christians. Well, that explains the lack of media coverage.

Move along! Nothing to see here! Move along!

The Kingdomality Test

Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

What is your Kingdomality?
