Salt and Light

I owe many of you an apology; close friends like Dino Minutillo and JB Williams tried to warn me about stupid Americans, but I had more faith in you America. I was wrong. My Country Tis’ of Thee, you need help. Consider it my mission to educate our country on Our American Christian Heritage, what brought about our American Revolution, and how the public educational system’s deliberate attempt to deny both of these historical facts have led to the dumbing down of America. Consider the video below as proof and the column below it by Neal Boortz as a beginning of Salt and Light School being in session.

Pay attention class; you’re not going to get this from Brian Williams, Katie Couric, or Charlie Gibson.

A very interesting commentary I found on Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs that was linked from Pat Dollard’s blog. Before you give into the urge to scoff, remember these words of warning from the Apostle Paul to Timothy over two thousand years ago:

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:1-7)

A hat tip to Jason Zogelman and his friend for sending this wonderful “parable” about the redistribution of wealth.

Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama’s house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood where it’s obvious that all the residents make well over $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it’s an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes.

Hat tip to Carol for this! Here is the clearest explanation of the Obama successful campaign, in the form of a political cartoon.

It has begun; the fight that is. I am aiming my sights on a conservative resurgence in the Grand Old Party (GOP) to see it grand once again. What is the first of many articles I will be writing on how we purge the GOP of moderate and wishy-washy leadership is the lead commentary on The New Media Journal (just hit the banner below). I’ve also sent out a press release titled “Jesusland Author is not Going Anywhere.” Please click the Christian Newswire banner below the NMJ banner. Spread the word and let the resurgence begin!

Folks, my post Friday night “McMentum” has generated a lot of comments and rightfully so. There is a lot of information about how the race is going, including the hard-to-believe information provided to Jim Quinn in the audio link on the “McMentum” post.

Comments range from “I can believe it could happen” to “pull your head out of the sand.” Some are declaring an “Obamaslide” while other pollsters, including some of the internals I’ve seen, say it is too close to call. I believe the latter to be true.

My latest article titled “For the Greater Good” is up on New Media Journal. Please pass it far and wide. Just click on the banner below.

Well, the World Series is over and not only is Joe the Plumber paying attention to the election, but so is Joe Sixpack. The everyday hardworking American who is striving not for a handout but a chance to pursue the American dream without government intervention.

Zogby has a new one-day poll today, and the last few days of the campaign is where you see these polling companies get their numbers tight because they do this for their livelihood and that cannot afford to be way off. Check out the headline from the Drudge Report:

(Hat tip to Felicia Benamon for this)

One of the greatest ways to judge a person’s character is how he or she manages his or her time. Things that are important to that person will always get top billing while others not so important, while albeit “regretably” not being done, will be tossed to the side.

Read Palin’s Failin’ and then please return to this post:

This is as pathetic as anything I’ve seen Peggy Noonan write. I used to greatly admire her work; I still do her old stuff. Her biography on Reagan “When Character Was King” is her seminal work. However, from her and the rest of the northeastern conservative elites with their hidden resentment of us folks who drop their “g’s” when we talk is castigated not because we don’t like caviar or sip champagne, it’s because we don’t speak like adults in public.

You read that right. The only person who could be considered mainstream or liberal who is doing decent journalistic work on exposing the Obama Mice is Howard Stern. Please do not misunderstand me; I do not watch nor do I condone the large majority of what Howard Stern stands for, but he did a great job at displaying much of the voter ignorance.

Hat tip to my friend Dino who sent me a link that had this video on it.

A lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania questions Senator Barack Obama’s natural born citizenship. I posted here a while back that because Obama was born in Hawaii, his citizenship status is not in question. If, however, the allegations in this video are true, then indeed the Democratic Party and the mainstream media should be aggressively investigating Obama’s citizenship. The fact that the Democratic Party is working to suppress evidence in this case gives great reason for caution and concern. If we cannot trust a major political party to properly vet its presidential nominee, then the press must do it for them. The fact that both entities have refused to address this issue is incredibly troubling. I saved this video to my computer so if YouTube decides to drop it off its website I will at least have a copy of it. Please pass this far and wide; it needs America’s utmost attention.

Okay, I want to share a video with you that is, as my pastor likes to say, “chock-a-block” with information. This YouTube video crams as much information as possible into the allowed ten minutes for each posted video and a lot of information comes and goes on the screen. Just pause the video and read and take note of the information. Please pass this along to as many people as you can.

You all might remember the moment during the debates when John McCain told the story of the mother giving him her dead son’s bracelet and how Senator McCain eloquently and from a fond memory recited the story and the soldier’s name. And you may also remember Senator Obama’s fumbling and quite staged point of saying, “I have a soldier’s bracelet too.” It was fumbling because he didn’t have a teleprompter and actually had to look at the bracelet to figure out whose it was and it was staged because he no longer had permission to wear the bracelet that had been given to him by the mother. Quite the contrary, Senator Obama was told by the family of Sergeant Ryan David Jopek of Merrill, Wisconsin to not wear the bracelet any longer.

Now of course ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and the Today Show are not going to cover this and this is why we have outlets such as NewsBusters to expose the lies and deceit that is Barack Obama. Make sure everyone who is voting for or considering voting for Barack Obama knows this. As a retired Army First Sergeant and a parent who lost his son in Iraq, my level of contempt and disgust of Barack Obama for the exploitation of a dead soldier and refusal to adhere to the wishes of a Gold Star Family defies words and knows no boundaries.

Folks, Frank Salvato has just posted my latest column titled “America’s Real Anxiety” which is my analysis of the President’s speech Wednesday night. Here’s an excerpt:

The President finished his address with this final attempt to reassure the American people: “…history has shown that in times of real trial, elected officials rise to the occasion.”

Okay, so vacation is over and I’m ready to spend the next 39 days doing the political equivalent of battle royale. As my friend JB Williams describes them, the left-wing lamestream press is constitutionally negligent of their civic duty to investigate and hold accountable those who seek our highest office. That’s okay because we have the new media, led by the New Media Journal, and great writers such as JB. Please read his latest piece titled “Guilt by Association?” at the NMJ. While you’re there read his last piece titled “A Congressional Rich White Guy Caucus?” For those of you locally here in the Florida Panhandle who enjoy JB’s work you missed one great speech from him last Saturday night at Eddie’s banquet.

Speaking of great writers of NMJ and someone who spoke at the banquet, Florida Panhandle’s very own Lance Fairchok has a blistering piece on NMJ titled “The Media & Race: Getting It Wrong” and Lance exposes the overused and misused term “racism.” Here’s an excerpt:

Sorry it’s been a few days since I last posted. We had a busy weekend with the First Annual Hope Rides Alone Family Reunion on Saturday, which was a smashing success! We raised $500 with 50 people in attendance and the generosity of those locally and around the country. May God bless you for your kindness. Pictures and video from the banquet are forthcoming so stay tuned!

Okay, we made it to Baltimore with the threat of rain that actually turned into a reality about two hours before game time. So when we got to Orioles Park at Camden Yards we had a strong feeling, from looking at the radar, that the game would get postponed. So we waited around for an hour and a half until it was officially postponed. We could have got tickets to Saturday’s doubleheader, however we were heading towards Atlanta making our way back home. Anyway, we still had fun and here are some of the pictures.

I think I have confused some of my readers into believing that we are in Washington D.C. this week. We are home and I am recounting our vacation from last week. My apologies if I somehow added to that confusion.

Well Thursday last week was an amazing day. Because of my good friend Mark Levin’s efforts, Karen and I received two tickets to be a part of the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial event. What an extreme honor it was for us to attend this solemn yet celebratory day; we will long remember it.

On Wednesday last week, Karen and I had probably our most exciting day of the week. It started off meeting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his private chambers. His staff is so friendly and I think we adopted his secretary LaShawn to come visit us at the Jeffers’ Inn. After nearly two hours of sitting with the Justice and talking about so many life issues, he graciously called LaShawn in so we could have a picture with him.

Wow! What a week we had in our nation’s capital. We got to the Westin Inn in Alexandria late Monday and I was seriously craving a steak. We had dinner at Joe Theismann’s restaurant and I highly recommend the filet mignon with crab cake.

On Tuesday, our first full day in D.C., we visited the Supreme Court and were given a private tour by the curator’s office, thanks to Ginni Thomas setting that up through her husband Justice Thomas’ office.
