Squirrel Hunt

October 1966, is the first time and only "real" time I went hunting up on what we called as kids, Zion Mountain. It was known to me as Zion Mountain because of the Zion Mountain Methodist Church, where in the church yard a lot of my relatives are buried, including two of the men, my dad and Uncle Buck, that took me hunting that weekend. The area is really named Wolf Creek Mountain.

On that hunt my uncle Bobby set me down near a creek, while he, my dad and Uncle Buck went deeper into the woods. I was 11, armed with a model 37 Winchester .410 that my Grandpa gave me just the day before.

It was cold that morning going out before dawn. Shortly after sunrise I saw a grey squirrel up in the trees, jumping from limb to limb. I watched, for a short while, and then with a steady aim I pulled the trigger. The squirrel continued scamping along. I jumped up, emptied the chamber of my Winchester, shoved another shell in, closed the barrel, and took aim. Before I could squeeze off another shot at that little grey, he dropped to the ground.

That day, at the age of 11, I was the first to get blood, Uncle Buck, 10 years my senior was the second. Bobby and Dad never fired a shot. I think Dad was more interested just being in the woods, since at the time we lived on Lake Erie. I don't think he cared for the sound of gunshot being a Korean War vet and all. For me it was a very good day, spent with my dad and uncles.

That day I remember my Dad telling my uncles he wanted to move the family back to the mountains from northern Ohio, for he wished we all could see days like that one up on the mountain. But ten months later my Dad died, so it didn't happen, the move that is. That is probably the last time all three of the brothers were together. Dad died in the summer of '67 and Buck died less than three years later in winter of '70.

I miss all of them. Bobby is a retired preacher living in KY.

CNN Anchor Claims Christine O’Donnell is ‘Arrogant’ For Praying Over Campaign

In reality, it is arrogant to think one can go through life without prayer...

CNN Anchor Claims Christine O’Donnell is ‘Arrogant’ For Praying Over Campaign

My prayer is that Christine O'Donnell wins her race, but whatever is in God's plan will be great...

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside." Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish?  For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith.

Schrecker and Me at Brandeis

This blog by David Horowitz is short and to the point. But it is true. I have a special kinship to Horowitz. When I was young I thought of him and those like him, Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rueben, and others of the late 60s, early 70s as heroes.  But after spending time in college during the 80s after serving in Army in the 70s, I came to realize the falsehoods of the radical New Left and the true agenda of the young professors I meet that were part of that movement.

I had a few issues I felt close to at the time and thought they were important enough to involve myself with leftist and liberals, but soon (not soon enough for I was president of the left-wing anti-nuke/peace group on campus for a year) found how the radical left attempted to co-op many social issues in order to gather power for their true issue and that issue was a radical change of the moderate world view of the majority. Into a new world view which is controlled and promoted by an “elite” educated minority void of Judeo-Christian values and morals.

At first I was concerned for the care of our Nation's veterans which I thought were short changed, being used up and discarded after fighting in an unpopular war. I felt they were ignored and neglected, which enticed me at the time toward leaning toward the prevention of war and calling for social programs to care for our veterans. This also lead me to ponder on the proliferation of nuclear weapons and I found myself falling in line with the left wing environmentalist, thinking nuclear energy was also a bad thing. Naively assuming that nuclear power was totally bad having no good or useful qualities. And of course I began to believe, with the encouragement of my professors that our Nation was the evil Nation and foolishly thought if we unilateral disarmed then the world would be safe. But they were wrong, for the rest of the world was and is capable of doing far more evil then most of us in this country could ever imagine, far more then this Nation has ever came close of committing.

David Horowitz is a kindred spirit; I don't agree with him 100 percent. But he is right that our universities and colleges are controlled by Left Wing ideologues which reject educational and intellectual freedom and use their positions to indoctrinate the young in their failed theories of socialism and disorder. Promoting anti-democratic ideas and spreading an anti-Semitic world view, even when they claim to exposing the same.

They are the masters of Newspeak.

What was the real reason Juan Williams got fired? Payback for being a free thinker?

I didn't think of this the other day. But it could be the real reason for Juan Williams firing. I was assuming it was because he had been on FOX and they couldn't allow FOX look as if it was a balanced presenter of the news, now could they? But this Clarence Thomas angle makes even more sense.

Yep, pay back for breaking the liberal mold, for his sins committed all the way back to 1991. Take a gander at this quote from Howard Kurtz on the Daily Beast

Williams has always occupied an uneasy ground as an African-American who sometimes criticizes blacks, and a liberal who isn’t far left enough for some liberals. When he was a Washington Post columnist in 1991, he took immense heat from his “side” for defending Clarence Thomas against Anita Hill’s charges—a story that has catapulted back into the news this week with Thomas’ wife Ginni asking Hill for an apology.

How dare an African-American man think for himself? White liberal elites are suppose to do that for him....

I don't agree with him 99 percent of the time, but I have always assumed Juan Williams to be honest to others about what he thinks, despite having personal doubts that liberals have the capability to be honest with themselves.

From WSJ: Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays.

Headline in the Wall Street Journal:

OCTOBER 22, 2010

Campaign's Big Spender

Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays

I have never understood this, government employees are not allowed to campaign for their favorite candidates "on the job", yet public employees Unions use government employees' money to support candidates, political parties, and/or political cause's even if the same are not in support by many in the Union.


This practice needs to be outlawed. This forces government employees Union members to support policies, which in many cases may contradict an employee's own religious convictions. (an example a Catholic or other Christian that is a pro-life and even instructed by her or his Church to support pro-life initiatives but their union is throwing millions toward electing pro-abort candidates). Or their political beliefs in general. It forces Independent and other non-Democrat Party voters that happen to be government employees to financially support one party - the Democrat Party. This is not democracy but forced one party rule, plain out one party tyranny, once known as fascism.

If any "group" needed to be outlawed to give money to political campaigns it should be Government Employee Unions, individually members should be allowed to give to their cause or cause's of choice, but in the current situation this ability of the Union to give contributions to political candidates, causes and parties, gives one party too much dictatorial power and influence over government employees. Tyranny was something Unions were suppose to free workers from not impose upon.

Children of same-sex couples more likely to be homosexual

In a study listed in the following article social scientist Walter Schumm has shown the link of a child's environment influencing his or hers self-proclaimed sexual identity is no surprise to those that have tried to make a stand against the normalization of homosexuality in our  society. And in the hearts of the "gay" activist this truth is close to his or hers understanding also, or otherwise they would not be so animate in pushing their agenda  for converts to their religion of sexual perversion. They know if they can convert your children then they can grow their numbers and with larger numbers they have more political clout.

And it should have been no surprise to Schumm that he would get an outraged response from  the left and gay activists, even though some of them will try to use the findings as being of a biological proof, (born that way) as opposed to being learned behavior, which one can can pick and choose to do or not. A person who acts out their feelings despite the consequences are usually people that are more likely to be animate if not violent in their outrage.


Homosexuality in its very core is a thought and an action of dishonesty. Gay activist, even the very small and minute minority within the homosexual community that may have a genetic influence manipulating their sexual feelings, know in their hearts that sex between two beings of the same sex are acts of grave depravity.Being weak, as all of us can be, wishing to just be accepted, have ignored truth and natural law for their own convenience.  Refusing to fight or overcome their own weaknesses, but selfishly force on others to accept what most see as as acts of depravity and perversion. This forcing upon others to accept them has the same aura we find in prison yard homosexual rape.

Here is the article;

Children of same-sex couples more likely to be homosexual

Manhattan, Kans., October 22 (CNA) .- Social scientist Walter Schumm doesn't think his forthcoming paper ought to be provoking outraged responses he has already received.

Four richest men in the Senate

Senator John Kerry of Mass $525 Million, Senator Herb Kohl of Wisconsin $216 Million, Senator Mark Warner of VA $200 million and Senator Jay Rockefeller of WV $79 Million.

Feeling safe, still ignoring the news..

It is amazing how ignoring the media makes me feel like I live in safer world. Is this how others deal with the world? just by ignoring it? I will do this for a few more days then I'll jump back into the muck of things, then maybe not.


For this post I was originally going to use a pencil drawing of a man with his head in the sand I found googling for such a picture. But when I saw the source of the picture, a blog which the blogger was defending Richard Dawkins and defending eugenics, while denying Richard Dawkins promotes eugenics and herself calling eugenics "Genetic engineering." In her own words:
 

The idea is once a couple (any couple) decides to breed, they can select which copies of their own genes can be used to form their child. This technology could be used to weed out genes that increase the likelihood of cancer, or arthritis, or hereditary brain disorders. But should it be used for aesthetic reasons like height, build, or eye-colour? Should it be used for general fitness or mental capacity or artistic creativity? Should there be limits to selecting gender?

Why can we not venture to ask the question?

This is a person, who herself has the inability to read and understand history, for these question have already been asked and the answers always lead to death. This poor soul has drawn her own self portrait with her blog punctuating it with the drawing of the man with his head in the sand. She not only ignores truth, but history and those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.




Of course that is old news and I still refuse to venture today into what the media calls current news.

Today is Thursday

Today is Thursday and I have ignored the news all week. I shall not fade away and I shall not die. I have shelter, food, a job, a car (really two, plus a motorcycle) and the world did not stop because I have not paid my dues to the liberal or even the non-liberal media.

Today is Thursday, one more day to work this week, two days off, and maybe on Sunday I will break down and buy the Sunday paper, if just to read the funnies.

Today is Thursday and I have ignored the news all week.

And feeling safer too, cool....

Columbus Day- a holiday I really like...

Many see Columbus as a villain but he was just a man of his time, in reality better than most. People tend to judge harshly historical figures by our current standards of understanding and knowledge, much bias with subjective agendas that usually are rooted in current political dogmas. Dogmas that is just as cruel and evil, if not even more so, then past actions of historical figures.

America was not a paradise for all before Columbus. And the Europeans were not the "cruelest" and "evilest" people on earth at the time. Each culture had and has their own evil, usually masked in its ignorance and unwillingness to embrace others. You add that ignorance, along with greed and selfishness you will find evil beyond imagination.

Myself, I feel no ill against Christopher Columbus, for I have this Middle Eastern Religious belief that God is in control and he will judge Columbus on judgment day for whatever personal sins he committed.

In my opinion those that paint Columbus as an evil man are in reality trying to paint all Europeans as evil and it is to push an alternate world view by continue promotion of the evil known as racism, by demonizing those they have judged in ignorance.

So what was America like pre-Columbian? Pretty bloody I would say. Yes, the Spaniards were cruel but the natives have their own demons and evils to answer for.

Today I came across this article  Religion - Latin America - Bibliography by Susan Elizabeth Ramirez of Toledo Ohio. I don't know her worldview, but I really like this short ? Bibliography ? I aim to find out more about her and her work.


Happy Columbus Day...

Random thought: who was or is the Ku Klux Klan?

Did some reading today and found out that the KKK was a Para-military terrorist organization serving the interests of the Democratic Party which desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were to establish its (the Democratic Party’s?) power, seeking to control all of Southern society. It (the Democratic Party’s?) aimed to reverse the changes that raged across the South during Reconstruction. Destroying the Republican Party’s influence in the south pushing back reconstruction, reestablishing control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life. To that end they worked to curb the education (in today’s world equivalent to opposing school choice), economic advancement (in today’s world equivalent to establishing a welfare class always dependent on government), voting rights (trying to establish one party rule, your vote only counts if you vote our way), and right to keep and bear arms of blacks (in today’s world equivalent to establishing gun control in all the large cities with major minority populations, such as Chicago, DC, NYC, Detroit and LA, just to name a few).

The Ku Klux Klan (the Democratic Party) soon spread into nearly every southern state, launching a "reign of terror against Republican leaders both black and white. Assassination victims during the campaign included Arkansas Congressman James Hinds, members of the South Carolina legislature, and others who served in constitutional conventions. This was back in the 19th centrury.

A random thought, I remember when a Republican Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated by a pro-Democratic racist, just a thought from the  20th centrury...

Another random thought, gee this happens a lot when you are old, the longest running member of the Senate was a Democrat of one of the poorest states In the Union. That is West Virginia’s Senator Robert Byrd, who started his political career as Klansman.

Bleeding random thoughts: I remember the first time I voted for a Republican for President. That was for Ronald Reagan the second time he ran.  I voted for him for he was pro life, but my grandfather an old die hard Democrat got really sore at me telling me that the Democrats were for the working man, and I shouldn’t abandon the working man’s party, funny that coming from a man that saw all of his son’s leave the state of Democrat controlled WV to find work.

Yep, I think Byrd, may God have mercy on his soul, was for the working man, he kept promising jobs to the working man, like a carrot on a stick, funny thing is many a man died waiting all those years with assurance and hope that Byrd would keep his promise. I wonder how many are still waiting. Myself I left WV 18 years ago.....

A history repeated, or a now and then narrative? Like I said before, I get a little confused.

Now you ask would a party that sprouted the KKK put a black man in the White House? Well that wouldn't be a proper question for it is obviously they did. The real question is why?

It may be fair to say they are reestablishing control of the black labor force, (Service Employees International Union) SEIU, and restoring racial subordination by and for the white liberal elites.

Still thinking...

The US government conducted medical experiments in the 1940s on prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala

The United States revealed on Friday that the government conducted medical experiments in the 1940s in which doctors infected soldiers, prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases. is how the story begins.



 Of course this reminds me of Tuskegee experiment,which I was exposed to in an American history class back in college. That experiment was one of the most notorious medical experiment in U.S. history; hundreds of African American men with late-stage syphilis were left untreated for a study of the disease that started in 1932. Those in power used trustworthy black doctors and a sweet nurse that saw the victims as her "boys".

 The practice of using influential African American and other minority leaders to control the masses by the white elite continues today. For example, Jessie Jackson selling out to gain favor and power from the liberal white elite by giving up his pro-life beliefs, fully embracing abortion despite the ill effect it has on the African-American community. This practice has been successful by negating the influences of free thinking minorities that have embraced individuality over race or class "loyalties" and labellings. In other words not staying in their proper place or designated roles. More on this another day.


This is just another example of academics and science gone amok. It is a sad history, but funny we still see it going on today. Yet our government and the elites of academia still fail to understand how to recognize it and take the right action. Despite revelations of past bad science, the elite just do not care or understand how their arrogance can destroy humanity more then it helps. For their wrong ideas must be validated,  the tickets stamped for that validation are new victims they find that are easier to exploit. Victims in which our country has stripped away their voice. This is most evident as we watch scientist battling for government funding for anti-life experiments on embryonic stem cells that are proven failures compared to adult stem cell research. Science is good, but it needs to be grounded in truth and ethics.

Where do embryonic stem cells come from? From the destruction of live embryos.

Where do these live embryos come come from? Well it really doesn't matter if you believe that life begins at conception. But of course embryonic stem cell proponents use language such as, "shortly after fertilization" instead of conception. Language is important in how it's used for it is a force in the control of the masses. This is what the works of George Orwell were really about, showing us how the use of language controls you and me. 

From the story I link at the beginning this post:

NIH Director Francis S. Collins condemned the experiment and said strict prohibitions are in place to prevent such abuses from happening today.
"This case of unethical human subject research represents an appalling example from a dark chapter in the history of medicine," Collins told reporters during a telephone briefing Friday.

Of course Collins fails to see any problem with embryonic stem cell research, or does he? This for sure is a failure of the current administration, the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius or Susan M. Reverby, whose research prompt the U.S. government apology. They all appear to be concerned yet they all continue to endorse anti-life experiments in the name of science and "humanity". 


Human life? What is it? When does it begin? Who picks which human life is important? Is it deemed important by which race that life belongs? Or which life has a voice? If we cannot stand up for the most innocent, then what do we stand for?
