Guns and Ammo

I am not going to get into the Viginia Tech shooting at all. But, I am going to get into the right to own and bear arms. Some people say it is our God given right to own guns. Maybe. Maybe not.

I think "maybe" because a long time ago a famous couple got kicked out of a garden. How bad do you have to screw-up to get kicked out of a garden? Another story, another time. So, after that, everything changed. The guys picked up sticks and stones. Weapons anyone? Then they progressed to clubs and spears. Then they progressed to metals and had swords and shields and bow and arrows and you name it. I think everyone had some variation of these all through history. You gonna hunt or fight? You're gonna do both.

Then they got smarter and invented black powder which is used as gun powder. Then they invented "rifles" and "handguns" that used the powder and lead balls. These firearms were tweaked and improved upon over the years so that we have some might fine rifles and handguns. But, anyway, everyone who was anyone at all, had one or more to satisfy their hunting needs and self protection and protection of their family. Maybe not a God given right, but it is a right to own firearms.

Do you know what month is 'Buy a Firearm Month'? Well, if you don't, I'll tell you. It's January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. Those are the 'Buy a Firearm Months'. Then there is the 'Buy a Firearm Day'. Those days are the first weekend of every month not listed in the 'Buy a Firearm Month'. Well, what about ammo you ask. Simple. Every day is 'Buy Ammo Day'.

So, If you don't have a firearm (why not?), you better get one. Great for self preservation and they do make some nice family heirlooms. And guys, teach your wives and daughters how to handle a firearm. It could save theirs and their family's lives.

Some people are scared to death of firearms. Catch your breath and hold on. These people are scared because of ignorance. A firearm is nothing but a mechanical device. Thats right, just a mechanical device, no electricity or other electronics that can make them confusing. Just simple mechanics. There are buttons or little levers to open these things up. You open it up and insert a bullet and close it again. Gun is loaded and in the case of some rifles, it is ready to shoot. Put the saftey on. Now, you better be scared, and I mean everyone. No time for carelessness now.

Handguns and some rifles need to be cocked at this time before you can shoot. Same procedure, put the safety on. When you are ready to shoot; ease the safety off, aim at your target, and gently squeeze the trigger. BANG!!! You did it. See how easy that was. Nothing to fear but ignorance of the operation of a firearm. Now you can control any situation where someone intent on doing some harm can be stopped. Talk about equal rights! This is the equalizer.

Remember, practice, practice, practice.

End Times

I believe we are living in the end times. Let me backup a minute here. I know we are living in the end times. How can I possibly know this? Because, the Bible tells me so. And, I am not a bible scholar.

We can start out looking at Daniel 12:4 where it is written that 'many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased'. Lets examine this a little bit further. 'Many shall run to and fro', means just that. Aren't people today traveling everywhere? By any means available? Airplanes and cars are the biggest people movers and they are moving people all over the planet all the time. Then there is this; 'knowledge shall be increased'. Look back over history and look at the last 100 - 125 years. That was the biggest explosion ever of knowledge and more is coming and at a faster clip that we can't keep up with it. OK, I can't keep up with it.

Then, there is Mathew 24 where Jesus is telling his Disciples about the end times. All kinds of things that we can observe going on right now. Oh yeah, then there is this little tidbit in verse 34 where he says this: This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Did you get the first part? This generation shall not pass .....

Then my favorite verses. 2nd Timothy 3:1-7. All kinds of things going on that is quite evident, even to the most casual observer. I really like verse 7: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Someone hit me with a 2 x 4 if this isn't talking about college professors the world over. And these clowns are supposedly teaching our kids and grandkids. Is there some repetition going on here? Yeah, I thought so. Daniel said this about knowledge being increased.

Then, of course there is the book of Revelations. Again, all kinds of things going on; especially wars and who is ganging up on Israel. Daniel 11 tells me, I don't know about you, that it is going to be Russia and Iran. And who is playing so well together today in the sandbox. Oh yeah, the anti-christ, too.

Now, we come to the crux of the matter. After reading these different passages of coming events, anyone notice that the good ol' USA is not mentioned. Nothing at all about the West. But, aren't we the greatest nation that ever came along. Look at what we have done for ourselves and others on this planet. Anytime there is a need, we are the charitable ones that help out. Someone being bullied, we stop it. Etc. Etc. Etc. Well, guess what folks. We are going under.

Political correctness and moral relativism are eating away at our society and culture. We cannot and do not recognize evil when we see it and heaven forbid we should label it as such when something does happen or is said. And, more important than that, don't do anything about it. Don't repudiate it. Just accept it and move along. This is why we are going under. We are rotting from the inside out.

We are no different than Europe right now. No morals. No strength of character. No integrity. Nothing. I'm talking about the majority of the people in this country now. That is why I don't expect a real conservative (national security, law and order, christian values) to ever being elected again.

I give this country 15 more years, at the most. That is 3 election cycles. It could happen sooner than that. Then after our demise, then all of the other things really fall into place.

I also believe that the anti-christ is alive and well in the world today. He (she?) is now attending a prestigious school someplace and becoming fully indoctrinated by above mentioned college professors. Also, this young, brillant, personable, individual will say that he was inspired by some despicable leader who is on the world stage now. Remember now, this is the anti-christ. No moral compass at all and its all about him. Everything to advance his own personal agenda and himself.

Now, what catastrophic event could happen that would reverse or stall these forecoming disasters? Nothing devine because that would mean that mankind has looked at itself and came to the conclusion that we are screwed up and need to change our ways. Anyone see that happening? Anyone?

Lets play with this idea for awhile. Suppose there was another big outbreak of some killer disease, like the plague, and killed off half of the planet. Billions dead. And luckily enough, the right people are gone. Miraculously a cure is discovered and mankind is spared and lives on. I'm not buying this idea because this smacks of devine intervention. Stop and think about it, devine intervention is available now, but no one is going there. See the first 4 paragraphs of this post. We are in one big spiral heading down the drain.

If I'm right, I look like a genius. If I'm wrong, then I am someone to be ridiculed. But, then again in 15 years, who will care what I said 15 years ago.

Campaign Trail

What's up with the democrats? How come they always get away with this? I'm going to cut-and-paste part of a news article from newsmax.com: "Clinton and Obama, the party's top 2008 presidential contenders, will be in Selma, Ala., Sunday to observe the 42nd anniversary of a civil rights march that helped end racial segregation in the South. Obama is scheduled to deliver the day's keynote address at a Selma church that morning, with Sen. Clinton speaking at another church nearby".

These 2 are going to be campaigning in churches. Just like other democrats have done in the past when they are in the South. Can you possibly imagine what the outcry would be if a republican candidate for any office spoke during a church service? The candidate would be ripped. The church would be ripped. The IRS would be all over the church.

Now, this is going to sound racist to someone, but I don't care. What are these black people thinking? They are not thinking and are not thinkers. They're being played for the fools that they are. Even Obama knows whats going on. People like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and Michael Steele are called 'oreos' because they made it on their own and their desire to succeed. And there are more like these people who do strive to succeed and do succeed. And I'm not talking about those 2 despicable reverends.

Science - Evolution

I believe this is a bogus religion. This is something you have to believe in. There isn’t any proof evolution works, has existed, or exists now. If evolution had happened, when did it stop and why did it stop. If it is still going on, why do we have the Endangered Species Act? What do we care if some animal, fish, or plant becomes extinct? Isn’t that the process of survival of the fittest working? Again, so what. With evolution going on, isn’t something evolving right now that will be better and stronger than what went extinct? Then also, if evolution is going on (hasn’t stopped), shouldn’t we be able to observe it? Something slowly but surely changing over into something else that never existed before? Then how did cells decide to come together and create, strike that word create, and make an organ, then the organs decide to get together and make an organism - something new and unique. How did a cell ‘evolve’ into becoming a bone cell? Another into a muscle cell? Another into a cartilage cell? Another into a leaf cell?

Even Charles Darwin himself admitted that if an example of irreducible complexity were ever found, his theory of natural selection would crumble. Irreducible complexity asserts that certain biochemical systems in nature contain parts that are too well matched to be products of evolution.

Okay, I cut and pasted this last paragraph from LiveScience.com. Here is the link for that:
http://www.livescience.com/othernews/050923_ID_science.html Then for more reading on this, here is another link: http://www.livescience.com/othernews/051109_evolution_science.html

These links are where LiveScience is trying to debunk the arguments that evolution doesn't exist. But, in my estimation, they are too caught up with themselves to see the folly of their own arguments. IMHO.

I read LiveScience.com once in awhile for the outrageous things they say and believe. I will say that sometimes some of it makes sense and you can learn something from it. They also have a tab at the top of their website for SPACE.com. Enough of this for now. Later.

Science - Big Bang Theory

I believe the Big Bang theory is fact. That is just another way to say creation. This is one subject where science and scientists have really painted themselves into a corner. They've been searching the heavens trying to figure out where we came from and how we came into being. Where did all of this come from? They came up with the Big Bang theory. The big bang was a big explosion that expanded into being the universe. Hence, something and everything from nothing. That is Creation. Let me say that again. Something from nothing is the true definition of creation.

Okay, lets play with this for awhile. Lets pretend that this has happened before and will happen again. Let me explain. Supposedly the universe is expanding and eventually will stop expanding. Then it will start contracting and will collapse in on itself. Sounds like the makings of a huge black hole. You know, where matter falls into this thing and the gravity is so intense that not even light can escape from it. So let me carry this a little bit further. Now there is this huge black hole and everything is compressed into it. I mean the whole universe is compressed into this black hole. Now, there is so much pressure built up on the inside of this thing that KABOOM !!! A big bang explosion. Is this an ongoing event? How many times has this happened before? Will it happen again? My answers to my questions are no, zero, and no. Like Bill O'Reilly asks, what say you?

Global Warming - Part 2

This is Saturday, the day before the Oscars presentations. I will bet $100 to your 1 donut that Al Gore receives 2 Oscars, not 1, but 2. Has anyone noticed that these so-called "climatologists" are now talking climate change instead of global warming. They're beginning to give themselves some wiggle room when their computer models don't match up with reality. I've been in the computer programming business. Bad programming and incorrect data equals GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. Sometime I'm going to vent about that sometime, too. The infighting in IT.

How old is the universe? How old is the earth? What I've learned over the years is the universe is somewheres around 15 billion years old. The earth is around 3 - 4 billion years old. Okay, I'll give you that number or any number you want. Now, I've also picked up this little piece of information: Ecclesiastes 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Like Glen Beck says, I've got blood shooting out of my eyes. You mean to tell me that this has been going on for billions of years? Glaciers breaking off and dropping into the oceans? I don't know the correct terminolgy for this, but we are living in a closed or open system. Thats what I don't know, if its open or closed. But we are in a system. Rising sea levels flooding coastlines and the cities that are there. People losing their lives. The horror! The horror!

Wait! This has happened in the past. But that time, some guy got a heads-up and built a boat. Yeah, got his family and some animals on board. Yeah, then it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Yeah, it was all over in a matter of DAYS! Seems to me that there was a promise made that this wouldn't happen again, too.

Now, we have some people predicting that this is going to happen again and by god don't question their methods or data. I'm going to rant about scientists sometime, too.

I'm not watching that crap Sunday night. After hearing about the Goracle being nominated for best documentary, any interest that I might have had really nose-dived. I don't know what other "documentaries" have been made, but if you had worked real hard and produced a documentary on some worthwhile subject and were honest in your presentation of the facts that you had dug up and then this is your "reward" for your effort. A slam-dunk against you, no matter what? Gotta feel for those people. Gotta go, catch you later.
