Here's A Poser!

I was challenged in a book I was reading to answer this question.


"What one word sentence inscription would you like to see on your tombstone that would capture who you really were in life?"

I love a challenge that inspires thought! So I set my mind to find an acceptable answer. The first draft was, "a great father, friend, and one who made a difference." Then I had second thoughts. It seemed a little arrogant, but still had what I wanted to leave this world known as. So I sat back and pondered a little more. Being a man a few words, I needed a more concise answer that would embody all of those principles, exude humility, and make people not only think, but remember. So the answer came through loud and clear! The phrase I'd like to be remembered for, is exactly what I'd like God above to say when we meet at the doors to eternity.

"A good and faithful servant!"

So now I've taken the good one, it's your turn to define your dash here on earth! How would you like for people to remember you? What is the message you'd like to leave behind? What is your legacy?

Ponder that for a while. I believe it's important to know what our life goal is, so we can design a pathway to live up to our self described accolade. Set a standard for yourself! With a life goal in mind, you can check and adjust your progress to ensure your aim is true. Once that mission statement is announced, you have a standard to measure your actions against. I can now ask myself, if I do this does it bring me closer, or further away from being "a good and faithful servant?" Is it the description of an action of "a good and faithful servant?" It's exactly like the bumpers they use on a bowling alley when the inexperienced bowl. It keeps you out of the gutter!

You Bet Your Sweet Bippy I Built That!

Welcome from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Yesterday was a long travel day, capped off with inspiring speeches at the Life Leadership Convention. One of the most captivating minds in our organization is Oliver DeMille and he punctuated that last night with an invigorating talk aligning the need for us to find the genius hidden within our culture, and it's application in the fight to maintain our freedom. No truer words have ever been spoken.


We've become a society "glazed" over by complacency, and compliance. Our creative genius has been quashed by the conformity of conveyor belt education, and the daily grind of mindless tasks. Look at the blank stares of those walking our streets, the youth who can't wait to get through the interferences that separate them from their entertainment fix, verses the excitement and creativity of a preschool playtime atmosphere. We're so caught up in surviving and our daily routine, we have no time or will to deal with the important. We are apathetic to the erosion of freedom that threatens our existence. Our genius has been robbed from us.

A quick reality check on our part reaffirms that something just isn't right, but we feel helpless as an army of one. Would it be comfort to know that you are not alone? That there is a movement on the assault of your freedom, and a fight to reassign complacency and apathy to those who accept tyranny. I see the spark of genius twinkle in your eyes. I know we are a people who value our freedoms, and will oppose those who wish to have us behave and accept the fate of the ruled. We enjoy the sweet taste of freedom,and yearn to apply the genius God granted us to enhance His gift. And with the knowledge that this freedom of expression only happens by the will of God, reaffirmed by this Biblical edict.....

"For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God."- Hebrews 3:4

No longer will the ruling class claim responsibility for our alliance with God and purpose. No longer will we sit in a daze as if covered in a "glaze" of indifference. We have a will and imagination. We have a mandate from our Creator, to wash the glaze from our brother's eyes, and point him in the direction of freedom. Freedom begins with the unleashing of your imagination and creativity. Robots perform tasks, animals do tricks, people innovate, design, and use their imagination to unlock their potential. This is how we create a free society, from the ashes of the destruction caused by compliance, apathy, and indifference!

Come fulfill your purpose, come be a part of LIFE!

God Bless!

It Wasn't Suppose To Be Like This!

The House of Representatives has passed a Ron Paul sponsored bill, calling for the public audit of the Federal Reserve system. The timing is interesting as I was just having a discussion about the Fed the other day with someone I deeply respect and they were relaying a conversation they had with their parents about just this topic. The gist of the conversation boiled down to the observation that not only didn't their parents know anything about the Fed, most of America is also in the dark on this subject. The potential exposure and understanding of the Federal Reserve system as this bill is designed to do, will enlighten the public about whom controls our money supply, and how corrupt that process is. If ever our President was to embark on a mission of economic justice, this would be an outstanding place to begin his journey.


 The process to bring this bill to fruition leads it through the Senate, which is currently under the control of the liberal democrats, it's not likely to see the light of day. Which leads me to my point of this post. The reason the political system in Washington has become so grid locked is the process designed by the founders has been bastardized by the 17 TH amendment. Originally the Senators were to be appointed by the states, not voted into office, and subject to recall if they didn't vote in accordance with their state's will. So they were beholden to the state that sent them to office, not the will of a political party. Here's why this is important.

If you took exception to some activity in Washington, it would be easier for the individual to travel to, and express their opinion to the state capitol. This was not only important then, but it still is pertinent today. Say you were a citizen of New Hampshire back in the 1800's. Travel to the Nation's Capitol would be very time consuming and expensive, yet to simply go to your State Capitol and speak to your local representative would be a more practical endeavor. Same applies today. If you live in the state of Washington, plane fare to DC could be outside the average citizen's budget, yet you could voice your opinion to state representatives, and they could enlighten the Senators of their states as to how the constituentcy feels about every issue. It brings the federal government closer to the people. It beats calling Washington DC and getting the answering machine of your representative.

Senators today vote the will of the party. The reason for this is, the party holds the funding for their reelection bid hostage for their votes.

 "If you don't vote along party lines, I'm not so sure we can see our way clear to fund your reelection bid!"

 But when they were appointed by the state they represent, they were held accountable by the state officials, who were held accountable by the local voters. They currently give their allegiance to the party they represent because even the most loved politician would be defeated by another better financed opponent, especially if that opponent was offered by the Senator's own party. It's all a high stakes game of blackmail, and we the people, lose.

Our original design, the one our forefathers began this country on, was a well thought out plan designed to keep the power in the hands of the states, and within the grasp of the citizen. The greed driven by the need for power has slaughtered that design, and shifted the control to the party elite. If a politician decides to go rogue, they reign them in with threats of running an opponent, and defunding their campaign. This is why Washington has reached a gridlock.

Culturally Crazy!

I had an interesting point of view brought to me by a gentleman in Africa that opened my eyes to how the rest of the world sees our tragedies. It's always good to understand the perception of people who don't share your culture or environment, because we are not the only society on earth, and how others perceive our culture speaks volumes to how they react. So their take on the recent violence in Colorado goes like this....


"When an Arab commits mass murder, he's called a terrorist. When a black man commits mass murder he's considered a thug. When a white man commits mass murder he's considered insane."

He brings to light a great point. What clear thinking individual involves themselves in mass homicide? It takes some level of distorted thinking to rationalize that thought process to a point where it's an acceptable action. Wether that distortion is brought on by religious indoctrination, sociological conditions, or a major short circuit in the behavior process they all share the same issue. Somehow the Arab, Black Man, or White man was driven to this act of violence through irrational thought. The label we apply to the individual because of their race is simply society's way of defining that method of insanity. Actually it's our culture's way of offering an excuse for their behavior. The Arab's insanity is justified by his religious indoctrination. the Black Man is a victim of his economic culture and social conditions, and the White Man has no excuse other than his thought process was defunct. In reality, they are all the victim of irrational behavior brought on by some means of thought that allowed them to justify those actions.

No matter how you label their excuse, they need to be removed from society because they have proven they cannot function responsibly around others.

God Bless!

Have You Ever Wondered?

You have to wonder if those in power ever stash the idealism they espouse and look at the facts. I can understand the difficulty in finding the truth, as it never seems to appear without uncovering layers of ideology and misrepresentation; but if your going to take a stand and put yourself on the front lines, should you go well armed with statistics? (Pardon the pun). For instance...


Since the start of 2012, the death count in Chicago is 274. In seven months, the death count in Chicago, 274, that's 22.8 people slaughtered a month, or almost 1 a day. They have some of the strictest gun laws in the country, just as they do in Colorado, where there has been more instances of mass murder in concealed weapon banned cities than anywhere in the country.

Now I'm certain politicians have to be aware of this information. They also know that despite the lack of availability of guns to inhabitants of England, crime hasn't dipped. So why do they bury their heads in the sand and deny the facts? Criminals don't obey gun laws, and gun laws don't deter crime! Yet there are those that vocalize their opinions seeking the disarming of America.

In a similar instance, job growth throughout the nation has been sparse at best. The limited growth we have seen has come from states with Governors who lean conservative. In the past 12 months, states with GOP Governors have added 1.4 million jobs. More than 60% of the nation's growth. Wouldn't one concerned about getting America back to work, investigate what policies are driving that growth? Instead we are subject to insults insinuating that the successful had little to do with their prosperity. If the government provides the formula to make us prosper, why aren't we all successful? They apparently believe they have the key to success, so doesn't everyone benefit if we all blossom? This avenue of thought runs contradictory to the results the government's war on poverty has reaped. But with those facts in hand, our President stands before the nation and not only accepts credit for the job growth, but implies that those who excel in business did so only by the grace of government intervention.

So if we look at the facts, gun control legislation enhances horrific gun crime, and government policies impede business growth. That's reality! I'll bet we can apply this to other areas of government involvement. Do you think that's the reason the founders based our nation on a principle of "limited government?"

And It All Comes Tumbling down!

"I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers. We should acknowledge this and realize that when we're formulating policies from the state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we've got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to everyone of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community." -Barack Obama


This is an interesting quote from a very confused man. Right off the bat, without tearing into this I see that he misses that this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles; or does he just ignore that? Our laws are founded upon the Ten Commandments, the Judeo-Christian principle. We don't use Sharia law, nor was our original document based on the Ten Precepts of Buddhism/Hinduism, although those are close to the Ten Commandments. The code for Atheists is set of man concocted objectives designed to prevent the spread of organized religion, and while we are a nation that believes in religious freedom, it's based and founded upon the Ten Commandments. We do have to recognize Atheism as a religion despite the claim of the opposite, as it's simply man worshiping himself. Where man assigns the rule by which mankind lives. Personally, I understand there is no perfect man, so this model, by definition can't be perfect and it's reflected in the advertised code they use to replace the Ten Commandments.

So where am I going with this? As reflected by the public statement our current President made, he doesn't understand the values, nor the history of the founding of this great nation. So it's not a wonder that he struggles to defend the principles that drive and define our values. We are tolerant of others wishes to worship as they see fit, it never says we have to alter our laws to theirs. We've tried that, here are some of the results...

We eliminated these principles to accommodate others who wish to destroy Christianity in America.

Removed religious symbols from the public square, prayer from schools, creation from the public schools, the Ten Commandments from public display. They've also tried to remove God from the pledge, and Christ from Christmas,.

The results have been..

School violence like never before, the demise of the traditional family, the redefinition of the traditional marriage, abortion, a rise in suicide rates, gang violence, rape, incest, child abuse, rape, and pornography. The list is exhausting, and like no other time in America's history. When does this country learn math and put two and two together? Well that's a poser as we keep electing those who don't understand our foundation and therefore can't possibly be expected to protect it. When they do turn to the Bible or Christianity, it's a perverted version because once again they don't understand the foundation, or have altered it. Does anyone else see a pattern here?

Those with an agenda move to change history. They call into question a clearly defined and outlined account of the beginning of mankind. Then they call into question the clearly defined and outline beginnings of our nation. They are both being eroded by a movement to change their history to what fits that movement's agenda. To effectively topple any structure, physical or principle, you demolish the foundation. The foundation is it's history. Whether it's Genesis or the Constitution their mode of attack is still the same. Call into question what we know to be true and allow doubt to fester. Once doubt is present, compromise is inevitable. Once you compromise your principles, your doom is impending. They don't need a complicated agenda, just a relentless effort. Mankind being flawed will eventually succumb to the pressure of defending principles that have been called into question. Well, some of us will..........

God Bless!

And Away We Go!

Now begins the endless banter between gun right advocates and those who seek to disarm the nation.


News flash...Criminals don't abide by laws.
(that kind of defines a criminal)

What Mr. Holmes did was akin to tying the victims hands then beating them senselessly. Had they had a means of self defense, the bully couldn't have taken advantage of them, and most likely would have weighed his odds and rethought this attack. The second amendment gives us the right to no longer be a victim. Had Mr. Holmes not been permitted to buy a weapon, he'd have resorted to another resource to complete his horrible mission. Unarmed citizens are victims waiting to be taken advantage of, If that little old man from the Florida Internet cafe that used his firearm to thwart the bullies who sought to take advantage of those patrons been in the front row, I daresay there would be but 1 funeral in this aftermath, the bully's.

The ability to defend oneself is a God given right, and is only denied an individual by those who seek to subject them to tyranny. Beware of those who wish to disarm the public for the good of the people. That phrase, "good of the people," should be a warning trigger. It's straight out of the Communist Manifesto. The people are more than capable of knowing what's good for themselves, they don't need government to micro manage their lives.

The mission of a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people, " is to do for the community what it cannot do for itself. The individual is quite capable of buying a firearm and learning how to defend themselves. The government's job is to protect our property so we can leave our homes and live productive lives, and not worry about a bully removing our goods. They have the duty to prevent anarchy and chaos, for the people when they can't be around to do it for themselves, because we are enjoying the advantages of freedom. To assist the public in protecting their property is to promote freedom. Attempting to disarm Americans, is to set them up to be the victims of those who choose not to obey laws and possess weapons.

God Bless!
