President Bush "On The Record": A Must Listen To!!!

For those liberals that point the finger at Bush as a bumbling idiot, listen to this hour long "Off The Record" interview with journalists. While he may not be the best "public speaker" I can't help but think his heart is in the right place regarding our country.

In Michael Barone's "An Interview With President Bush" you'll hear President Bush speak his mind.

When wrong is right and right is wrong

When wrong is right and right is wrong, things will go down fast toward the pits. No force border enforcement details to a certain degree the one wrong done by a border agent WAY outways the MANY WRONGS of the illegal alien smuggling drugs into this country!!

RIIIGGGHHHTTTTT!!!!!

CNN's showing of Insurgent sniper film, what we're up against, and that we'll win

Ok, now you've heard probably about CNN's airing of an insurgent's sniper video of killing an American GI in Iraq and showing the downed soldier on the ground. Personally I think this is despicable for CNN to do this (or as they are now called Caliphate News Network) by others.

But, we are winning this. See Sniper shot that took out an insurgent killer from three quarters of a mile about the American doing the right thing. But wait, there's more to the picture here.

Gazing through the telescopic sight of his M24 rifle, Staff Sgt Jim Gilliland, leader of Shadow sniper team, fixed his eye on the Iraqi insurgent who had just killed an American soldier.

His quarry stood nonchalantly in the fourth-floor bay window OF A HOSPITAL in battle-torn Ramadi, still clasping a long-barrelled Kalashnikov. Instinctively allowing for wind speed and bullet drop, Shadow's commander aimed 12 feet high.

A single shot hit the Iraqi in the chest and killed him instantly. It had been fired from a range of 1,250 metres, well beyond the capacity of the powerful Leupold sight, accurate to 1,000 metres.


You'll never hear of this story on the MSM such as CNN or CBS news. But then again, the real American Snipers need our help in getting things the government is less able to do. Of course, you can also get a feel for what these guys are up to here and todays capture of insurgents booty. Lastly, I've never heard of this site, Operation Iraqi Freedom , until today.

Keep on Brothers in Arms!!!

Looking at Two Different Islams

When you read this article "Between the Owner of Grameen [Bank] and Bin Laden" that was posted today, it makes you wonder about the true Islam. It also makes you wonder about America.

From one point of view bin Ladin wants the power to control everyone and get them under his thumb while Yunus, who recently won the Noble Peace prize for creating micro loans to poor people, wants to free and empower his people to better themselves and allow them to "own their own pond" rather than just be given a fish or even better yet to learn how to fish. But one thing is interesting: the liberal attitude in America about spending money on education rather than the military is being sent, or at least acknowledged, but those in the Third World.

But the difference between America's military and bin Laden's is: bin Laden wants to control you through force and threats, America's military is mostly defensive unless provoked.

America, don't lose the faith at this time during our election about President Bush and his direction. We'll win in the long run.

Israel's Sanhedrin: The Continuation of Beginning of the End of the Church Age

Ever since the modern founding of the Jewish nation by the gathering of the Jews to their native soil, a lot of events have been occuring that show a progression toward the end of the Church Age as we know it and the beginning of the Tribulation and the Millineum, the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords where today's believers will reign with Him.

But how do I know this? What I find realy interesting is the fact that Israel has now re-established the Jewish Sanhedrin based on the Torah and the Christian's Bible as of 2005. Take a look at the web site for more information. But wait, there's more.

There is also more information concerning of the re-establishment of the Third Temple with not only making of the priests garments, but cornerstones for the Third Temple have already been made and are ready to be laid.

You can also trace the history of the making of the High Priests garments, including the chemical found in three dye-producing snails in the Mediterranean: Murex brandaris, Murex trunculus and Thais haemastoma. Things are lining up with event after event.

You can find more detailed accounts of events and expectations leading up to today's timeframe and the convergence of these events pointing to the eventual Rapture of the Church and the rise of the Jewish nation to a pinacle. Events outside of israel are also on the rise.

The Rapture is coming, then the Trubulation where a vast majority of the world's population will be killed. Are you ready?

France is "under attack" by Muslim youths

You won't find this article French police face 'permanent intifada' on the front page news in America's MSM (Main Street Media). This is the part that is so disturbing " 'Many youths, many arsonists, many vandals behind the violence do it to cries of 'Allah Akbar' (God is Great) when our police cars are stoned," he said in an interview." And this is a religion of peace?

If France is getting this now, who's next? Britian? The US?

Yep!!

Unless we take this War on Terror a little more seriously, we'll be next. As Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) put in a poem about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Here it is:

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent; after all I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent; after all I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out; after all I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.


However, you can now use it to for what the Muslims are doing rather than the Nazis. But, we've hopefully learned from our past and will do something more substantial. But the left is doing everything to undermine this effort based on false logic and assumption about where these attitudes are going.

Oh, and how do I know this? Try the article about the stars of BBC:We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News, they state it, believe it.

Islamic terorist watching us using our technology

While those that familiar with this type of "warfare" may not be surprised, those that aren't may be shocked!!!

Are you?

What are you going to do?

Get back to your latte?

Think this won't happen to us?

To You?

Think again!!!

Wars and rumors of wars (Matt 24:6) #1

It's on the "run up" here, there will not be any more peace as we know it and most Christians in American have their head in the clouds: so heavenly bound that they are of no earthly good.

A Lawyer's Mistakes about a Mac

You know, the one thing that I don't like is that most people who "switch back" to PC really don't want to change and in nearly every case that I've come across, they want the Mac to act like a PC and have not: taken the time to learn, ask the right questions or are willing to pay to learn how to get the same productivity out of a Mac that they do on a PC.

In reading Larry Bodine's article Commentary: Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree about his hard time with his Mac it really makes you wonder. So I'll go through his commentary point by point to answer what "short comings" he came up with and some of the answers to his problems.

1. I realized it was time to unload the silvery box of frustration when I had to buy a "Dummies" book on how to operate it. I'm smart; I shouldn't need this. Aren't Macs supposed to be intuitive and easy to learn? My mistake. OK, I don't care how much you know, but when you switch to something new there is ALWAYS a learning curve of some sort. Most people who switch to a Mac take between 2-4 months of getting used to it before they exclaim "I've got it now" and take off. Larry bought it May 2006 and was right at the launching off point but decided to quit.

2. I pretended that I liked the one button mouse. I quickly started using click + command keys (and other keyboard shortcuts). I really missed the little scrolling wheel in the center of the mouse. Uh, Larry, you should have had a two button mouse with your Mac called a Mighty Mouse since the mouse was introduced Aug 2005! If you have a Mighty Mouse and take a look under System Preferences > Keyboard/Mouse you'll see that there is are FOUR buttons to choose from, not just the one and has 360 degrees of scrolling, up and down, left and right.

3. What drove me nuts was that I would open Word for Mac and couldn't delete files while I was in Word. There is no File | Delete option. So the documents took up space on my hard drive, until someone told me I had to find the document in Finder and then move it into the trash from there. This seemed stupid to me; I just wanted to highlight a file and tap "delete." Ok, so there is no File > Delete in Mac's Word. You got me there. I don't have any answer at the moment. But one thing is for sure, these documents will not take up space on your hard drive unless you leave them there. Deleting files when you're in the Finder is no different than being at My Computer's C: drive.

4. Word files transferred from the Mac were missing pictures. PowerPoint files transferred from the Mac would lose their formatting. PCs and Macs are not compatible, regardless of what they say. While everything would be nice that things would be that easy, but programs and OSes are getting so big that there are problems, both with Mac, Windows, AND Linux. I'll have to check this one out myself and get back to you.

5. Doing a simple screen capture was an immense chore. On a PC you just press Alt and tap PrtScr. With the Mac I had to download and launch special programs to accomplish this simple task. Uh, no you didn't! Since the beginning of the Mac, using the Shift + Cmd + 3 key you're able to take a picture of your Macs screen. Or, under Applications > Utilities there is a program called Grab that does what you want to do with LOTS of differing options than a simple Alt + PrtScr keystrokes. So you were not aware of this, but if you find under the Finder the Help menu and typed in Print Screen in the search box you would have found a special help document called "What's it called on my Mac" describing all of the differences between your Mac and Windows. If you do screen capturing frequently, then put the app (drag and drop the app icon) onto the dock and with one click you launch the app. If you read up on "short cuts" under the Help menu you'll find a ton of ways to doing more with less keystrokes.

6. I didn't even bother with the Mac's iCal or Mail, which required me to buy an @mac.com address. Instead, I went straight to Outlook for Mac. A lot of the software for Mac -- such as AOL for Mac OS X -- was dumbed down and missing may features of the current PC versions. Ok, here's where you were told wrong information, you are not required to buy a .Mac account for calendar or Mail, but you are unclear what you needed to do here. Are you sharing your calendars with others? Again, you are NOT required to buy .Mac for your Mac. True, some of the software may be as you say "dumb down" compared with a Mac, but then again, this is a part of the Widows marketshare. But it is not about "dumbing down" the software, but more appropriately Mac software that is a "remake" of Windows software may have "less features and bells and whistles" than Mac software, so it is not "dumbed down" by any means. But remember, there are normally equivilents of the more robust Windows software for the Mac. Check out versiontracker.com to see what's available.

7. I run several Web sites, all optimized for IE 5.5 or higher. I couldn't operate my own Web sites with the Mac. Here's the number one problem of PC users do NOT get: Microsoft purposely creates it's OWN standards for web sites using it's OWN technology and therefore it "is optimized" for Windows!! If you were to go to the World Wide Web Consutium and read this "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding" you'd find WHY MS stuff doen't work well with Safari, Firefox and others. If you'd follow W3C standards for your web site, you'd reduce your problems considerably and EVERYONE would be able to see your site, not just Windows users.

8. As a consumer, you have every right to choose what you want to use, but one thing that I tell everyone is that you can give feedback to Apple concerning their products just as you can give feedback to Microsoft concerning their products. Don't just complain online, write the companies and tell them what you think.

9. Then the hard drive croaked on me after only three months of owning the machine. I couldn't tell what was going wrong and had to hire someone for $125 an hour to come over and tell me what the heck was happening. Apple replaced it for free, but I became leery of what other hardware would fail unexpectedly. Well, this is nothing new, and it's not an Apple thing, it's a hard drive thing probably. Regarding the $125 an hour you spent to troubleshoot your Mac, you would have been in the same boat in your PC troubleshooting the problem. Or, you could have taken the time to make an appointment for FREE at your local Apple store and found this out. And by the way, ALL computer hardware will fail at some point. While I agree with you that "it's not fun" having to deal with broken equipment you just bought, more PCs have problems than Macs do and while you're getting a "cheap deal" on the new PC, you pay through the nose in upkeep costs, viruses, and the like.

Thanks Larry for the chance to show some positive light to your "bad" experiences.

I run Windows, Mac, and Linux at home, so I understand your comments for sure.

The Hate of Excellence against "Second Best" or less

I had a recent discussion with someone concerning a deaf person's need for an interpreter for a demonstration and wanting to get an interpreter for them. Comments from others chastized my thought process and that I was "bowing to the entitled" handicapped crowd. Although not those exact words, these comments by them troubled me.

This type of act is not a trend by any means, it just goes to show how evil and bad mannered man can be with those that are below them from a competitive perspective. But is it really about being competitive? You've heard the statement "You don't win Second Place" by those in a competitive sport, but what about other areas of life?

How about religion? Did you know that Australian Muslim Taxi drivers and Oslo Taxi drivers are not helping out blind people because of the blind people's dogs?

So what have we got here? We've got a business person that refuses or intimidates their workers NOT to get an interpreter for the deaf person because the boss considers the deaf person's "entitled" interpreter an "excessive cost" for an "entitlement" for a customer. We've also got a Muslim that refuses to allow dogs into their cabs because they "should not go near dogs."

In both cases it's about those that are not "perfect" by "normal" standards not being allowed to have some semblance of a "normal" life because the excessive "cost of doing business (i.e. not making enough profit) or religion (dogs are unclean). But what is interesting about these comments by these dumb and stupid people is this: the business person is willing to "give to the 'normal' customer because of 'customer satisfaction' what a 'normal person wants' " and considers the deaf person "less than a normal customer". The religious person is preventing a less than normal person from getting to a point of self sufficiency so as NOT to be a continual burden to their religion, they want to keep them in "their place" in society and not allow them to grow into productive human beings.

Three sides to every story

1. On the right side, refusing/oppressing/repressing to let anyone to be allow those that are less fortunate to move ahead.
2. In the middle, providing enough of a hand up to at least allow those that are less fortunate to make it on their own.
3. On the left, enabling those that are less fortunate to stay right where they are by giving them a hand out (not a hand up)and not give them some semblance of contributing to society.

It's a moral issue, not a cost issue.

But just like these stories, change can be slow. During the mid to late 1800's in America when baseball was just beginning, playing ball was normally done WITHOUT gloves with injured hands the norm. It wasn't until Doug Allison, a catcher for the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in 1870 and Charlie Waitt, who, in 1875, wore a pair of flesh-colored gloves in a failed attempt to avoid the derision of the fans because they thought they were being "sissies."

In this case, I'm glad to be called a "sissie" by others if it means that someone at least can get a fair deal in living their life.

Author of "The Ezekial Option" Joel Rosenberg

More evidence that Bible Prophecy is coming true and that those things that have NOT come true as of today WILL come true. Take a read on Joel Rosenberg's blog and read about the future events that continue to come true. You can also see Joel's web site and get more info.

I'll have more info concerning the Tribuation in upcoming blogs.

This is the type of discussions that are going on "as we speak" in the world where the Love of God and Christ are changing the minds of many. Not all will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, but that's not what we're suppose to do. We're to keep on talking and sharing what Christ has done for each and every Muslim, Jew, Pagan, Unbeliever, etc.

I challenge each and every Muslim to read the Bible and see for yourself what will happen. Start with the book of John and see how many times God talks about His Love for His Son, the Holy Spirit, and Mankind. You don't find love in the Muslim religion, do you? Very little, but the Bible is full of this concerning God toward Man.
