Ding Dong, a demo-rat is gone .....(Link). lets all wish Mr Puckett a well deserved good by...

And it seems that losing a demo-rat has already paid dividends in a state that had been operating pretty well until the election put the demo-rats into power. 

Now, it seems Virginians who live in the 38th District (Bland County (All); Buchanan County (All); Dickenson County (All); Montgomery County (Part); Norton City (All); Pulaski County (All); Radford City (All); Russell County(All); Smyth County (Part); Tazewell County (All); Wise County (Part)) have the chance to make amends for voting for the current democratic carpetbagger and replace former Senator Puckett with a true Virginiaian conservative, assuming they can find one in the district. 

In addition, while all good Virginians can celebrate the end of Senator Pucketts term in office, it seems to have some interesting side show opportunities if the AG has any moral foundation. (Link)

Wait, he is a demo-rat as well.....one who has already enlisted the federales in a war against other Virginians. 

Elections have consequences...

If ever there was a better indication of the malinvestment boom created by an interfering Fed, this is it. As demand for shipping collapses on real slowing in the global economy - markets have "told" shipbuilders to "build it and they will come"... here is a ship-shipping ship, shipping shipping ships.

The news has recorded a number of Russian bomber flights over Europe and now over the Pacific near Kalifornia. Links to recent stories are here, here, and here for a sampling. Google the topic and there are a lot more reports.

What is somewhere between sad and funny is the west wondering what to make of it. The problem is no more complex than the bully in the school yard or the new tough guy on the block marking his territory.

But in the west, where the age old concepts of power and force have been rejected for a weak form of "diplomacy", we are stunned by the show of force. The west struts around like a bunch of powerful peacocks while in fact they have no real ability to project power. It is simple old world big stick diplomacy and they know they have the upper hand.

The Russians and their allies have in fact bank rolled the west, and the west has become soft and dependent. They know we can not afford to even talk about shooting one of them down, much less actually do it.  Imagine for a moment what would happen if they decide to cause an economic collapse. This is not 1939 or 1940....this time when the money dries up, the cities will devolve into anarchy. the nation will go into grid lock. There is no "'merica" that will gel into a solid fighting force as it did after Pearl Harbour. Oh, they would suffer some economic loss, but not nearly what we would feel.

Unfortunately, there is no easy or quick way out of this jam. The west has been on a track that has created a weak, short sighted, narcissist  self serving and self indulgent society. It has a shallow understanding of right and wrong so there is no inner or moral strength. There is no depth of character or patience. Meals are fast food and the news is sound bites. There is little honor or respect. Many of our people are ashamed to be what they are. The PETA folks honor animals more than humans, the left progressive "earthers" honor "nature" over mankind. White guilt, black power, La Raza....all are signs of hatred and disunity hidden behind "diversity". Too many people celebrate the option to kill children through abortion and older folks through euthanasia. Either way, it is celebrating death, not life.. 

This is a track that is self destructive. The Russians or Chinese don't need to attack as much as they need to simply collect the remains of what was great people. But we were great due to our faith and freedom in God and the disciplines taught through the scriptures. Principles of honoring the one God and his Son who died for us, through prayer and worship. Applying the scripture lessons of truth, faith, respect, responsibility,  honor.....everything we have tossed out the window. 

We can not fix this problem through government. No we must change it at home. We must go to church, a church that teaches a true faith. That will eliminate almost all of the denominational churches, most of them make bargains around the 10 commandments of one sort or another. Pay down debts and stop borrowing. Invest locally and stop banking in the big banking system. Stop flying and avoid all government travel search operations  Do not give your consent, restrict government at every turn. Get off the grid. Resist the government at every turn as they try to stop us from making them irrelevant  Stop taking children to public school....home school and church school. Allow boys to be boys and girls to be girls.....and expect fathers to be men who love and respect their wives and teach respect to the children. Expect children to obey parents and tell Child Protective services they are out of a job in almost all cases. Take strong sovereign freedom stands in every situation. It will be a long long road,....but there is no option. 

The scriptures are full of accounts where Israel turned from God, turned from the teachings of God and the result was a weak society and ruin for generations. Returning to the teachings of God brings us back to the basic principles that lead to a strong society and a society he can bless as a result. 

I don't worry about the bombers, I worry about the damage we have done and are doing to ourselves.

2013, Stolen Elections...

So, we seem to have a number of people who are not exactly sure where they lived when it was time to vote last year....was it Maryland or Virginia....Here is the link to the Fox story.

So, maybe its just me, but those areas close to Maryland are some of the same areas that are very densely populated and very blue or democratic in color.....They think the actual cross over voters were small in number, but before now, we did not even know of the dual registrations  How about carpetbaggers from DC or West VA or the blue sections of NC? Could there have been enough illegal yankee carpet baggers voters to make a difference. I think it is a pretty good bet that it could, it seems that every recent close election seems to "find" enough last minute democratic votes to come up the winner.

Thomas Jefferson was a Virginian, Governor Letcher was a Virginian  the current governor is no more a Virginian in heritage or beliefs than the man in the moon and should be recalled from office and sent home to whatever part of yankeedom he was spawned from.

From Pastor Eric Willoughby of Triedstone Christian Center of Blacksburg, Virginia to the congregation...

"I was pondering this statement after it was said on the Radio this morning; "It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus on the cross — but love."  

He voluntarily gave Himself up, becuase He loved you. 

As we go about our business this weekend, let us meditate on the question "What is so good about Good Friday?"  Jesus was beaten and tortured to the point where he was unrecognizable.  As John 19 says, "Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him. ² And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; ³ and they began to come up to Him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and to give Him slaps in the face.⁴ Pilate came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.” ⁵ Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” ⁶ So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.” ⁷ The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

Eternal life is available to us, if we ask Him.  In Him, we have victory because our Savior took all our pain, sorrow, shame, guilt and sin and buried it once and eternally.  Let us walk forward today reminded of the love He has for each of us.  Let us walk with confidence that we have a Risen Lord!  He has defeated death, sin and the grave.  So what is so good about Good Friday?  How has Jesus brought you out of darkness and into light?  Let us reflect on God's goodness today and how He has brought life into each of our own lives.  Jesus was a "man of sorrows and acquainted with grief" (Isaiah 53:3).  If you feel grief in your own life today, please be reminded that Jesus will never leave nor forsake you.  Let us look up and Praise the King of Kings as we go about our weekend, remembering what the true reason for this season is! "

May all who hear this be blessed, may those who do not know Him be stirred to reach out this weekend, and may those who do know Him be lead those who love and reach out to those who need His saving grace......

Russian Air force makes fools play with the US Navy.....and all the US can do is whine....

Article attached.............(Hat tip to Free North Carolina Blog Site)

The Russian Air Force made a number of fly-bys around the USS Donald Cook. They are doing the same thing I do when I tease my cats. See I know that no mater how much I tease them, I am bigger and I will always be the winner......they just get teased.

So the Russians did the same....they teased knowing that we could not respond. But we did whine...thats about all this government can do in the face of the Russians anyway.

Honestly, does any sane person think that the milk toast modern hollowed out military forces of the west can even start to win a old fashion loss taking slug match with an old fashion military doctrine like the Chinese or Russians. Whining and begging the other guy to stop is not a winning strategy (ask WWII Europeans defeated in early WWII) and beating a bunch of camel jocks who have no significant industry or air superiority in the desert is not a military feat....even that we don't do well (we are still in the sandbox)......the Russians and Chinese have actual industries and all the same toys we do, some of them paid for or developed by us.....

The succession of people elected to the yankee congresses and white house, with a special tip of the big red clown nose to the kenyan living there now has made a joke of the us. We have squandered our economic power and no owe our way of living to the very people who mock us. Daily the government takes a special opportunity to terrorize the people who live here.

And on the other hand, what do you think we would do if they sailed a warship in the Chesapeake Bay or Gulf of Mexico ......oh yeah.......whine about it and beg them to leave....

The ole' Confederate Solider in my heart laughs at this yankee governments failures, the Virginian in my heart bleeds for the waste and damage this yankee government creates around the world.
