Someone please neuter Newdow...

Well after another hiatus I am back again. Actually I was visiting South Georgia, interviewing for a job.

Will someone please take a 2x4 and knock this Newdow guy across the head. He just doesn't seem to get it.

The lawsuit also states: "It is an offense of the highest magnitude that the leader of our nation, while swearing to uphold the Constitution, publicly violates that very document upon taking his oath of office." Mr. Newdow also said yesterday he sought "only the respect and equal protection that the Constitution requires from our government."

Come on Newdow. Nowhere in the 1st amendment (which is what he is refering too) does it say you cannot pray in public at the inauguration. I still have not figured out where he gets the Seperation of Church and State in the 1st amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Will someone please tell me where it says anything about the Seperation of Church and state in the 1st amendment.
The first line means that Congress cannot pass a law preventing the establishment of any religion, or a law preventing the exercise of religion. This mis-interpretation drives me crazy.
If Newdow doesn't want to live in a Christian Nation, Then MOVE!!!! We are a nation founded on Christian principles. If you don't want to say "under God" during the pledge, the MOVE!!! If you don't like "In God We Trust" on our money, then MOVE!!! If you don't like the fact that a preacher says a prayer before the Presidential Inauguration, then MOVE!!! Don't try to take away our Christian rights, which is exactly what this guy is trying to do.

"I have never sued to have anyone keep his or her hand off of a Bible," Mr. Newdow said in response to yesterday's story published in The Washington Times regarding his lawsuit. "As my prayer for relief and judgment specifies, I sought only the prohibition of using clergymen to further religion."

Does this pastor who is going to pray have great powers. Are we going to see an outpouring of saved people at the inauguration. I think not. He is only going to ask for Gods guidance and blessing upon the administration. It is not like there is going to be an invitation at the end, with everyone sing "Just as I am".

What makes this Newdow guy seem even more whacko, is the fact that he used the word prayer in one of his statements, as if it were his own. "My prayer for relief and judgment specifies," Does this guy even know what he said. The word prayer according to Webster means; A reverent petition made to God, a god, or another object of worship. Since this guy is athiest, how can he make a petition to anything higher than himself. If you tell me that is not what he meant, then tell him to use words in sentences to reflect his own belief, not one of religion.

Who said you can't win if you keep Recounting...

This story has not gotten too much attention since the Tsunami disaster. The Dems have finally found a way to win. Just recount until you the results you want. Here's the headline from the Billings Gazette, take a look at what the new Democratic Govenor-elect, Christine Gregoire had to say.

Gregoire congratulated Rossi for running a strong campaign, and said it was up to him to decide when and where to concede. But she ruled out a brand new election.

"Do-overs" occur only in golf, and only during practice, she said. "This is not golf and this is not practice."

What a total contrast to how she was feeling a few weeks ago. I guess in her eyes she's the only one allow to take a Mulligan. What a Joke. It was actually done-over until she got the victory. I would be on the PGA Tour if I was allowed three shots on every stroke. Look out Tiger! It is just like playing poker, if you do it long enough, you'll get the result you want, especially if you cheat. Keep reading.

After the election, more than 700 ballots surfaced in King County, which includes Seattle. The additional votes allowed Gregoire to stretch her lead from just 10 votes in the hand recount to her triple-digit advantage. A legal challenge would have to be filed by Jan. 22, 10 days after Gregoire's scheduled inauguration.

On Thursday, the day after King County released a list of nearly 900,000 voters who cast ballots Nov. 2, Republicans prodded county officials to explain why the list appeared to have about 3,500 fewer names than the number of votes that were actually tallied.

Either there were some aces up the sleeve or it must be magic! Now we're pulling ballots out the hat, I guess the Rabbit is out of a job. I'll say it again, "What a Joke"! Sounds like the 2000 Presidential election to me. To bad the Dems did not have 58 days to unemploy the Rabbit in 2000, which is exactly where it was going. Thank God for the Supreme Court.
I hope Rossi never concedes, and takes it to the highest court.

My 'Terminal' Adventure...

My terminal experience was not near as bad as some travelers, but it is still worth talking about. I have traveled (flew) home from the Midwest to the South a couple of times during the Christmas holidays and each time the same result. I arrive in Memphis, Tennessee and drive three hours to my final destination. This Christmas it all started on December 23. I checked my flight before I left my home, only because of the ice storm that was going through the South. Everything was a go. I printed my tickets before I left and tried to assign myself a seat. I arrived at the airport and did the auto check-in. I was thinking this is going to smooth. About 20 minutes before my flight, it was announced that the flight would be delayed about a half-hour. No big deal, I had a 2 hour lay-over in Memphis. Six hours later I was boarding the plane, with my rescheduled flight set to depart Memphis at 7:25 and arrive home at 8:30., so much for going smooth.
Meanwhile my wife and kids were driving down for the holidays, because of their plan to stay on until school resumed. I had to get back and go back to work. Someone has to do it, right. Anyway my wife had left the previous day, and got stranded approximately 3 hours from Memphis. To my luck they were only 1 hour away when I arrived in Memphis. So I just waited for them to pick me up and we drove the rest of the way. So what was suppose to be a 4 hour flight, turned out to be a 16 hour day.
Well you would think my return flight would maybe turn out a little better, Nope.
I left around noontime on my return flight. Everything seemed to be going well because we only left 15 minutes late. I arrived in Memphis around 1:00, with my scheduled flight to leave at 2:30. Guess what, 6 hours later we were boarding the plane. I heard enough of we're delayed for crew rest, or there is a mechanical problem, or there is equipment blocking the path of the plane, to last me a while.
The airline industry in whole was not prepared for the weather (which during the Winter months bad weather can be expected), or Christmas travelers (Comes the same time every year). My frustration with everything is this, If the company I work for short staffed and did not have contingency plans for unexpected conditions, it would go out of business. The airline industry seems to take the customer for granted. Don't get me wrong, I met some really nice airline personnel, and the sad part they were taking all the heat for mis-management. The problem is they've got you. If you live any distance from relatives or travel on business, you are at their mercy. They either need to get rid of the Airline industry altogether or learn how treat their customer. They sure are willing to charge you a nice price for taking you where you want to go.
OK I have complained enough.
There is a positive to the story however, I was able to catch up on my reading. I finished Ann Coulters book 'How to talk to a Liberal if you must'. I will save that discussion for my next post. I also started reading Joseph Farahs book 'Take back America'. I would recommend both. Ann has a unique way of pointing out how Liberals say one thing and do another. Joseph has some unique insights on how the American people need to take back control of our country.

If you had a bad experience traveling this past holiday season, I want to hear about it. So we can wallow in our self-pity together.

Airport terminal living during the holidays...

I'm back. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I flew home for the holiday, and as most everyone knows it was not the best weekend to be flying the friendly skies.
Just wanted to make a quick post. More tomorrow on my 'Terminal' adventures. Although my troubles were not near the inconvenience that some travelers experienced. It is still worthy of a post.

Merry Christmas...

Here's hoping you and your family have a very

The Philly 4 = The Fearsome 4?...

Christian persecution is not hard to find these days. I have been writing about it for several weeks. My posts have mostly revolved around the ACLU and their intolerance of Christians. Farahs newest commentary (Free the Freedom 4) focuses on a group in Philly that have been treated like hardened criminals, just for quoting the Bible. As Farah puts it, where is the ACLU, when Christians are in trouble and their free speech rights are being violated.

I'm amazed when seemingly intelligent people tell me they still think the American Civil Liberties Union is a group that fights for First Amendment freedoms no matter whose ox is being gored.

If that's the case, why is the ACLU not filing amicus briefs in Philadelphia where four Christians are facing 47 years in jail for expressing their free-speech rights?

That's 47 years just for expressing their free-speech rights. Here's what happened.

It all started Oct. 10, when a total of 11 members of Repent America attended a homosexual street festival called "Outfest."

The group, ranging in age from 17 to 72, was surrounded at times by the organizers' security force, known as the "Pink Angels."

Videotapes and still photos taken at the event show the Pink Angels blocking the path of the Repent America members, shouting at them, blowing whistles and so forth. The Christians remain peaceful and calm at all times, despite what appears to be extraordinary provocation, intimidation and harassment.

Guess who was arrested?

That's right. The Christians.

Now if this would have been a Christian festival and some Satanist group, pro-choice group, or gay rights group, would have been protesting, what do you think would have happened. Absolutely nothing! They would have been protected by free-speech rights, and if any charges would have been filed against them, then guess who would have been by their sides. The wonderful Anti Christian Liberals Union.

This is one of the most brazen, frontal attacks on religious freedom and free speech I have seen in my lifetime. If these charges stand, Christians across America will soon be hunted down like dogs as they are in many parts of the world today as the most persecuted religious group on the planet.

It's ironic that this persecution would take place in Philadelphia, the so-called "City of Brotherly Love."

Of course, Philadelphia wasn't always so inhospitable to Christians.

It's worth remembering the very first legislative act in Pennsylvania, April 25, 1682. It was called the Great Law of Pennsylvania – and great it was.

"Whereas the glory of Almighty God and the good of mankind is the reason and the end of government, and, therefore government itself is a venerable ordinance of God ... [there shall be established] laws as shall best preserve true Christian and civil liberty, in opposition to all unchristian, licentious, and unjust practices, whereby God may have his due, and Caesar his due, and the people their due, from tyranny and oppression."

Oh how easily we forget over time. "God ... [there shall be established] laws as shall best preserve true Christian and civil liberty, in opposition to all unchristian, licentious, and unjust practices, whereby God may have his due, and Caesar his due, and the people their due, from tyranny and oppression."

Leave me your comments.

What about Noah...

I have never intended for this blog to be of the religious type, although I have made several references to Christianity and the anti's since I started writing about the ACLU. My last post had to do with Creation. I was inspired to write the post after reading an interesting response to one Joseph Farahs latest commentary's 'Why I believe in Creation'. Since writing the post, I have gotten a couple of comments from it and thought I would continue in this post talking about the accounts of Noahs flood. DH is a regular visitor to this site and if I am reading his comments correctly, an Atheist. I enjoy reading his responses, and even though I do not agree with him, he has some excellent points of view, and seems like a well educated individual. I want to thank him for taking the time to read this blog and to offer some insights on how non-Christians believe. Thanks DH.
He brings up some good points to my latest post, 'Do you believe in Creation?...'
I do not agree with his theories, and I will be the first to say, I am no expert on the subject. My belief in the accounts of Noah are based on faith. Faith that the almighty God, who has the ability to 'Create' just by speaking, can flood the earth and rebuild it from scratch. I have been doing some reading on the subject since DH left his comments, and I have found some very interesting sites, that back up Noahs account with scientific study.

• KJV of Genesis 6, 7, 8
• Here is a site with a few facts. 'Proving the Flood'
• This site is dedicated to the search for the Ark. http://www.arksearch.com/

DH referred to John Woodmorappe in his comments. Mr. Woodmorappe is a creationist that performed a seven year study on the feasibility of Noahs Ark. Here is an article Answering the Critics of Noahs Ark. It doesn't answer all the questions, but it definitely gives you more facts than I could give.

You know science is always trying to disprove creation and some of the accounts of Genesis. I mentioned this at the first of the post, but I thought I would mention it again just to put things in perspective.

Genesis 1 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 2the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

The key words here, "Then God said,". If God can speak and Create (To cause to exist; bring into being.), then God can make anything happen, he has the control.

Make sure you leave me your thoughts and comments.
