Veterans’ Day … a day we remember the millions of folks, much like you and I, who served our nation. I know all of us, even though we get lost in the details occasionally, know our nation has its own version of “revolution” every 4-years (but don’t forget the mini-revolution we have every 2-years).

It’s not a lot different from what we experienced in the service. In 32 years I had 18 assignments and I had 32 commanders (I might be off by 3% or so). Your ratio was probably something close to that.

The lesson that came out of that was not to worry too much if you drew an idiot for a commander–he’d be moving on before too long. Likewise, if you drew a great commander you weren’t supposed to get to used to him because he’d be gone soon enough too.

There’s a great lesson in life that comes from that. Don’t put your faith in mortal kings. Unless you can shield yourself from the media completely, you’ve had your eyes and ears assaulted with the rejoicing of the loud-mouthed 52% “majority” who think they’ve elected the Messiah.

As we watch our Misery Index rise over the next couple of years, you might have a chance to ask somebody, “How do you like him now?” Of course, it’s way to early for that. Believe me when I say you’ll get your chance to ask somebody that … remember to have smile on your face when you say it–you’ll feel better for it.

We really should pray for BHO because the worse he does, the more we’ll feel it. I believe he’s very smart, it’s possible that he only pretended to be a Marxist in order to get the 52% to excrete their support. I really hope he does a good job for America.

I pray he is convicted, or even haunted by the Holy Spirit every time he shuts his eyes to think about the 50,000,0000 Americans who’ve been slaughtered since 1973 in the American Holocaust. Maybe that will encourage him to consider nominating Supreme Court judges who are at least open to discussing overturning Roe-v-Wade instead of being militantly supportive of abortion on demand.

I pray that when he looks at the Flag he notices that the red is the color of the blood shed by generations of American’s who’ve ensured our freedom. Maybe that will make him reconsider his rhetoric that he might dismantle our military advantage over the peoples who hate us and want to kill us.

I pray that whenever he sees a penny on the ground, he will understand that massive tax-hikes during an economic down-turn will result in worse economic conditions. Then he will also understand that the destruction of the US economy will not just hurt “the rich” but it will bring great misery to other folks too.

If BHO was the pilot of an airliner you were a passenger on, you’d want him to fly safe and land well. Even more so, if your family were passengers. As President he’ll “have the aircraft” for the next four-years.

Even if he does as poorly as some may think he will do, let us not forget:

The Tomb is still empty. We serve a risen Savior. God is in control. Nothing can change any of that.

Happy Veterans’ Day my Band of Brothers.

Howdy All

I am…of course… in a particular foul mood.  I think we all knew this was going to happen; and now we are faced with the reality.  So… I avoid watching much television and news paper reading, internet news ect ect. 

Still I keep reviewing over and over again in my mind and in my nightmares the notion that we “the Americans” are riding on the Titanic that just hit the mother of all ice burgs, in the middle of shark infested ice water….and most of the passengers are planning to attend the inauguration ball for the new captain.  Hell the ship stewards are all out crying “change is coming and the new captain wants everyone to start taking swimming lessons!”  The ships officers are all in meetings developing plans to sue the maker of the ice burg and the kitchen staff is holding contest on who can hold their breath the longest. Of course the ships finance officer is handing out dixie cups so we can start bailing when the water gets over the gunwales.  The captain has assured us that he has signaled the SS France, SS Russia, SS Cuba and SS Iran for advice on navigation.  They have all forwarded detailed plans for replacing the port holes with screen doors.  The ship’s news paper men are broadcasting that under the new administration everyone will be employed in new high paying jobs as whale watchers.  Hell you won’t even have to leave your birth to see the sea life. You will have your own port hole view!  Who needs internet porn when you can watch half naked mermaids!
As for me and my lot we have purchased our berths in the California section were the Cali nut-jobs have decided not to wait for the ice berg damage to sink the ship.  No they have listened to the NEA teachers section and have decided that Archimedes was wrong –because he was a bitter old white man — So they have started drilling holes in the boat hull (and each other) to let the water out.  As for the upper class berths, there will be no escape on the few life boats.  No the California groups have launched all the life boats with the livestock on board to provide more living space for the chickens, hogs and cows.  Besides all the San Francisco men have are already dressed as women and children…no not to escape on the boats…they are holding a protest rally on the promenade in drag, until the new captain marry’s them to each other. Down below in the third class berths all the poor assholes, after drinking the blue cool-aid, are trying to lift the boat and make it fly by pulling on their shoe strings chanting “yes we can”.    

 I can’t imagine having to tred 30 degree water for eight years. My only solace is being able to watch some of the idiots who voted for this
Moron drown first. 

Oh yeah Happy Vets Day!

Peace Out!
