Electric Slide

We should all call him blessed, Thomas Edison, holder of 1000 patents, items which make our life much easier...lightbulbs, power generation, recorded music, motion pictures. A man with only three months of public education, Edison once said that, “enthusiasm is a great language, but it takes knowledge for power.”

This nation is now cursed with the weakest, most inexperienced, most narcissistic, most improbable president to ever even think of occupying the Oval Office. The average interviewer in American industry would not have given him a second look, so totally impotent, a moral and security disaster, just think of using a social security number issued to another man in 1890, a forged birth certificate, absolutely no experience producing anything.

So...this impostor is 50 years old. At one of the jewels of this nation, the White House, which we understand now looks like Section 8 housing, he and “Mush-elle” entertained friends at a 50^th birthday bash. Among their other escapades, the all danced the electric slide. I will never forget going to a black nightclub in the city where I live. Of course, I could not see, but the person with me, who had been invited by the owner told me that the dance floor, instead of being ground level, as in most civilized places, was up about 3 feet so that those sitting around the edges could see up the girl's dresses. I wonder if this is the electric slide so popular at the White House.

To celebrate the birthday, Al Jazeera is now in America, as would be expected, first in New York City. I understand one of the Arab oil tycoons put up $1 billion to bring this pearl of deceit here. Don't forget that Al Jazeera has an anti-American bias and has fanned the flames of terrorism across the Arab world. As if we do not have enough lying and distortion with the alphabet media in this country...incessant quaking and quivering by cleavaged, just-out-of-college girls about things of little or no importance (they talk about protesters, but ignore the reporter raped in Cairo).

We just had the 72^nd anniversary of the greatest movie, greatest music, of the 20^th century, The Wizard of Oz. The munchkins were paid $50 a week, but the dog Toto was paid $125. Perhaps this was the beginning of our collapse pertaining to human beings, especially babies. Now, some airlines do not allow babies (Malaysia airline), some restaurants do not allow babies (Double Windsor, Old Salty). In England, soccer star David Beckham and his wife have been condemned for having their fourth child. When Obama and the first lady were doing the electric slide, do you think they thought of the many children who will never play on a real slide because of their promotion of abortion?

In Somalia, 30,000 babies have starved to death, I wrote recently of the hospital in Botswana, Africa where I inspected the facility and found babies laying in their filth, covered with flies. One national radio preacher said he was tired of hearing me talk about flies...that the poor have always been pestered with flies, swollen bellies, early death.

The splendor of old men with gray hair, such as this writer, is that we remember when children were prized, when their souls were important. I attended the first Billy Graham crusade at Madison Square Garden in 1957. Now, Billy Graham is 93, George Beverly Shea is 102, Cliff Barrows is 88. Life goes on, everything changes except for the eternal welfare of the soul. Those of us in the sunset years know that we are born twice, and die once, if saved by the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. For that vast number, particularly those who support the abortion and the same-sex marriage policies of the Democrat party, they are once born, twice-dead.

Doubt is a terrible thing with which to live. The mother hangs on to the success of her child, filled with doubts as the child develops. Don't give up, even children reared in church-going Christian homes, who were robbed of their faith by a heathen college, will have a faith of their own when they recover from their doubts. Everyone has a time of doubt (a dark night of the soul), it is easier to cling to the deck, then to have the faith to get off the boat and walk on the water. A new wave of deception and doubt sweeps the country. When the agnostic challenges you, among the many things you can point out as being beyond the wisdom of man to explain or understand: the shell of an egg, the clotting of blood.

God has a great track record. I sometimes feel that my life has been lived in a blender, so many ups and downs. Born during the Great Depression, now living through the Obama depression, I heard my parents talk about investors jumping from windows, I often feel that if I saw a someone on a ledge, I would say, “move over, I am ready to jump with you.” People worked their entire lives (at least one-half of the populations worked their entire lives) to provide for themselves (and the other half of the population that does nothing but live off of welfare checks). They work, thinking they will have some means/savings for retirement, although taxes to support the moochers and warfare have eroded that. As a small example, the plastic cover for an electric wall switch purchased by your government for Iraq costs $7, easily purchased in this country for $0.49, $9 billion sent to the Iraq and Afghanistan has simply disappeared.

You will notice that almost every watch and clock are round, we think that time will continue 'round and 'round, one day after another, losing all the values of time. Time is measured three ways: past, present, future. The modernist wants us to forget the past. In England, children are not permitted to win in an athletic contest, are not allowed to know who received the highest grade on a test. We refuse to think of emergency preparedness for the future. Our present time is like looking through a keyhole because time is the enemy of happiness, and from the White House, to the courthouse, to the church house, to the school house, the mantra is: “happy meal”, “have a nice day”, “just move on.” So unrealistic, our not wanting to face the facts of life...when you are in a hole, stop digging. There are no limits on the credit card. There are always escapes (liquor, sedatives, sex, or other addictions).

The heart is a muffled drum in a funeral march. We think the earth will continue going 'round, the hands on the clock will continue going 'round, but for everything, sometimes much sooner than later, a line is drawn. Every mind sees things that others do not see, for Joyce Kilmer, a tree “lifts its leafy arms to pray”. Francis Thompson, “love is a many-splendored thing”. The only thing Jesus took seriously was souls, “what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?” (Mark 8:36)

Send In the Clowns

Send In the Clowns is a song from the 1973 musical, A Little Night Music that opened at the Shubert theatre (which I saw at or near it's opening), involving romance and intrigue. Every time I think of clowns, I first think of the clowns at the great circus in Moscow (Bolshoi Circus), next I think of the clowns I have seen in the best whorehouse in North Carolina, the legislative building in Raleigh, but perhaps none will surpass the clowns, 435, determining our daily existence in our marvelous, beautiful Capitol building, Washington DC.

PJ O'Rouke said, “our only civil right is the right do as we please and accept the consequences of our actions.” Like we peons, this also applies to the 435 clowns in Congress. Politics is show business for ugly people, and last night must have been a “revolting development” for lookers on as they watched those attending the $36,000 per plate birthday bash for President Obama. Think of the ugliness of Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, or even Mr. Ugly himself, Harry Reid. At a time when ordinary, hard-working, God-fearing, taxpaying citizens are “digging in”, facing the Obama “great depression”, the administration is spending money as if you could pick dollars off of trees.

This 100% disabled blind veteran remembers when one penny would buy a nice piece of candy. During the OTHER great depression, we would carry one egg (worth one penny) to the country store to get such a delightful piece of candy. Today's spoiled youngsters will not even bend down to pick up a penny off the street, and in fact, dollar bills on the street are considered worthless too. I understand that in some parts of the world (Hong Kong, Singapore, Madrid, etc.) people laugh when you show them American currency (during my world travels, people were grabbing at American “green backs”).

One news reporter stated that Obama's favorite topic, regardless of the bad news of the day, is himself. He is a narcissistic impostor. How long will it take the intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI), security agencies of this nation to realize that there is a pretender/impostor leading a masquerade party, birthday or not? His pretension for citizenship, natural born to meet constitutional requirements, is a matter for the Supreme Court, the judiciary, the state-controlled news media and even the supposed moral leaders of the nation. Pastors, Christian colleges, etc. are afraid to be called “birthers” or “tea baggers”. The Tea Party movement is the only good thing going for this country at the present time. The “old guard” Republicans just “go along to get along”, are a disgrace to the ideas of conservatism. Members of the Libertarian Party, Independents, Constitutionalists and the few conservative “Blue Dog” Democrats have joined in the game of kick-the-can.

A recent article in the Washington Post by Jon Kyle warns of EMP (electromagnetic pulse), a nuclear event in the atmosphere that disabling all electrical circuitry on the ground. Electric service to commerce, as well as in homes, would be disabled. Not only refrigeration and communication in the home, but service at gas stations and every other service where electricity is required. This would open the floodgates of disease, and allow occupation from conventional military sources. The panic of spoiled Americans, not accustomed to stone age living, would lead to our total surrender. We enjoy the convenience of technology, but forget that technology can be a master as well as a servant.

The greatest question ever asked was asked at the illegal trial of our blessed Lord. Pontius Pilate, perhaps more interested in his 15 year-old wife than the Man on trial, asked, “what is truth?” In the movie, A Few Good Men, the words of Jack Nicholson will never be forgotten, we cannot handle the truth. We cannot handle the truth that a forged birth certificate, Chicago street fighter, Communist organizer, liar, cheat and thief is living like a king in the White House. A man who had a birthday party/pig-picking; the only preacher present... Reverend Al Sharpton. He may think that he is king, and that in the event of such a national catastrophe, such as a nuclear EMP disaster, whether defeated in an election or not, he will refuse to leave, remain in power. Will any of these cowards protest? I speak of the cowardice of the 435 clowns under the dome of the Capitol, the well-paid pastors, so afraid of offending anyone in this politically correct society, the intelligentsia (academics, school teachers, people who are supposed to prize free enterprise and free thought), the national Republican party, who would rather sit in the bleachers and criticize the game, than get out in the rough and tumble of real “knock down, drag out” political conflict. To date, the only people who are making a difference in Washington, in this state, locally, are those of the Tea Party.

Patriotism, like Christianity, is a state of mind, something that you don't just turn on and off. It is your very being. In Holland, 60% have left the Christian churches, 1 out of every 6 (so-called) preachers in these churches say they no longer believe in God. These masquerading, impostor clowns will one day give an account to almighty God, when every knee bows before Him. (Isaiah 45:23)

I graduated from high school in 1948, the same year that a young Jewish boy throwing rocks near the Dead Sea (Dead Sea Scrolls), heard one make a sound in a cave. I have been to that cave, these scrolls are shown in Jerusalem...the entire book of Isaiah, 66 chapters. The same year (1948), George Orwell wrote his famous book, 1984, in this book he described a nation where the virus of insanity had taken over...everything was upside down, black/white, good/evil. If you do not recognize this, maybe last week, when Mellon bank decided to start charging you for keeping your money instead of paying you interest for your money, when during a market crash (unlike FDR who made no trips during the market crash) Obama was spending and spreeing, Congress was on vacation as if nothing had happened. God help us all, clowns could do better, send them in.
