Atheism, An Observation

Atheism seems to me to be a bit schizophrenic. While recognizing no god but themselves, they demand the inalienable rights described by our founding fathers as being given by God. If they have given these rights to themselves apart from God, where is their moral framework to exercise these rights? If there is no moral framework, then the rights of an atheist are determined by the strongest and are not inalienable. In an atheist society, one must be king and the rest subjects.

Casual Christianity

Is America a Christian nation? Perhaps. It used to be, but it seems that we have, for the most part, become "casual Christians", Christians who, on occasion find need for God and occasionally find a little time for God in our lives. "Casual Christianity" is not the key that unlocks the floodgates of God's infinite mercy, protection and benevolence. I think that explains our current national turmoil.

Right and Duty

If figures quoted by Homeland Security are correct and TSA has failed to find dangerous materials 60% to 90% of the time when tested by Red Teams then they are doing only slightly better for airline safety than the Energy department is doing for energy independence which is zero percent. Perhaps it would have been cheaper and more effective to issue pistols to all adult boarding passengers and reclaim them at the end of the flight allowing the passengers to provide for their own safety which is their right and duty.

American Evolution

In nine short months, I have seen the mood in America evolve from mild annoyance with government,
to incredulity, to distrust, to anger, to major acrimony. The government meddles while the electorate smolders lacking only the right spark to burst into full fledged screaming, hair-on-fire-rope-tree fury. Congress and the administration blindly dabble in Socialism and meddle in areas not constitutionally in their purview at their own peril I think. Will the fatal spark be cap and trade or health care or corruption?

War of Attrition

Do not be fooled. We are engaged in a war of attrition with the government. Every other day some new administration or congressional scheme is broadcast with the intent to cause a disturbance among and elicit a response from the people, the purpose of which is to wear us down and destroy our will to fight for our liberty and our way of life under the Constitution. Whether the Constitution and our freedom will triumph is entirely up to us. Let us not grow weary, but redouble our resolution to remain steadfast in defense of that which keeps us free and this nation great. Vote for the Constitution of the United States in 2010.

One Term Agenda

This administration is not worried about being a "one term" administration. They think they can get their agenda done in one. Look how far it has come in less than a year.

Mood

I have an endless "honey-do" list from which I select items to accomplish whenever the mood strikes me, however, the older I get, the less accurate I find mood has become.
