Change in Middle East likely to be for the worse

Mohamed ElBaradei, Mubarek's major opponent in Egypt, wants democracy, change, and "new freedoms" in Egypt.  He sounds much like an Egyptian version of Barack Obama.

There are some things we need to understand about ElBaradei and the entire middle east upheaval now in progress.

ElBaradei has been vocal with his concern that Israel, not Iran, is the biggest threat to middle east peace.  Despite his appearance of moderation resulting from his service as director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), (I suspect the liberal mainstream media love him) not only has his record there been pro-Iranian, but his alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood in the Egyptian uprising spells trouble for Israel and the West.  Just as the eradication of Saddam Hussein

Glenn Beck’s China-resident Globalist Guest

The January 14, 2011, Glenn Beck show on TV featured two guests - David Buckner and Jim Rogers.  Buckner is a previous guest who teaches at Columbia University.  Rogers is an billionaire businessman who lives in China and whose children are schooled in China.  Rogers can be safely labeled a globalist proponent of free trade – an ex-patriot in spirit who maintains his credibility by paying US taxes.

Fearing being called Bigot, Racist, or Phobic

The “left” (the term “left” being used because that term captures the bulk of those who are known to engage in the topic discussed in this blog) has mastered the art of slander.  Granted, not every leftist is actively involved in slander at any point in time, just as not every Muslim is involved in violent Jihad at the moment.  But the most public voices of the left are loud and clear with slander of those who do not agree with their agenda.

The left's double standard of smears, lies, and hate…

The left is in full-bore smear mode of talk radio, FOX News, and conservative internet bloggers.  Liberals in Congress are falling over themselves to tighten gun controls and impose the oppressive and ill-named “Fairness Doctrine.”

Why now?  Because a leftist-inspired psycho who is more likely to have been influenced by Keith Olbermann than by Glenn Beck committed murder.

From Keith Olbermann to Chris Matthews to Barack Obama…
…all of them representing

Islamism as a World View

World view:  Our life’s value system as informed by our fundamental underlying experiences, knowledge, and assumptions. The thoughts, opinions, and actions of each of us are influenced by our “world view.”

Darwinism, Secular Humanism, Progressivism, Post-Modernism, Spiritualism, and Christianity are all world views that shape the thoughts and actions of both individuals and civilizations.

Islamism is a recently resurgent world view that lurked in the shadows of the civilized world until the last several decades. 

Pastors: The “politically correct” shepherds

Jesus, the Good Shepherd, used pastoral images to help make his message easily understood by his flock. 

The following is an introduction to a convicting characterization of many of our pastors and churches provided by Bill Warner of the web site “Political Islam” that I link to at the end of this blog.

There is a shepherd on the hillside tending his flock of 100 sheep -all within eyesight.  He considers all creatures part of his "greater flock" - he believes it would be mean-spirited, discriminatory really, to distinguish between his sheep and other animals.  The shepherd scans the horizon and sees the shadow of wolves forming along the edge of the ridge. The shepherd continues to tend his sheep, not really concerned about the looming shadows.  The wolves draw closer to the flock; in fact several sheep on the edge of the flock are torn to shreds by several of the approaching wolves.  The shepherd continues to tend his flock.  He refrains from chasing the wolves away because he does not want to disturb the rest of the sheep.  His actions might be upsetting to them.  The wolves have one thing in mind and are methodical and single minded in their quest.  Meanwhile, the shepherd continues to tend his sheep, believing tranquil sheep are happy sheep.  Happy happy happy.

Now please read Bill Warner's message.

CNN’s “Lack-of-faith” based predictions for 2011

CNN has presented its “faith-based predictions for 2011”, opinions of a group of mostly liberal or Muslim political figures.  Of course they have their token conservative (Ralph Reed) in the mix of Wiccans and secularists in religious garb.

Well, I might as well throw my predictions into the mix – they’re as valid as anyone in CNN’s mostly progressive, God-demeaning pot.

We will see growing Islamic subversive influences in our government and educational institutions, along with

Prepare for diverse magnitudes of mega-disasters

Disasters happen.  It is fortunate that most of us don’t experience them often if ever.  And when disasters occur, they seldom last more than a few seconds (auto accidents), a few minutes (tornadoes/earthquakes), or a few hours (hurricanes/severe ice/snow storms).  Granted, the after-effects can last for days or weeks, but emergency assistance and essential infrastructure (water, sanitation, electricity, transportation) are usually restored within a few days.
Most of us can endure a disaster that lasts for a few days up to a week or so with little additional preparation.  Water is the most critical resource.  A day or so without water won’t kill us.  Beyond a week probably will.  Fortunately most of us have a lot of water substitutes on hand:  soda, fruit juice, beer, bottled tea to last us a week or longer.
But what about a mega disaster –
