The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian.
A powerful book.

BO: “Our most urgent task upon taking office, was to shore up the same banks that caused this crisis [Wow.]. It was not. easy. to. do.

BO: “Our most urgent task upon taking office, was to shore up the same banks that caused this crisis [Wow.]. It was not. easy. to. do. And if there’s one thing that’s unified Democrats and Republicans and everybody in between – is that we all hated the bank bailout! I hated it. (applause) I hated it (chuckle – applause). I hated it (more applause). You hated it. It was about as popular as a root canal.”

O wow. Think how many…

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words…  millions around the country have gathered, spoken out, marched, in protest of the snowballing debt, sweeping policy changes (chains), etc., etc.

Hundreds of thousands of people marched in peaceful protest this past weekend.  Dozens of issues were being protested by people of all ages.  These, from the lens of Barbara Curtis… see hundreds of photos here.

Saturday, September 12, 2009 — the day after the 8th anniversary of the terrorist attack on America September 11, 2001.  It’s interesting that that attack and the threat it revealed is still very fresh in the minds of the American people — regardless of a person’s political stand or even for those who say it was a covert operation of the US government, the ‘anniversary day’ was a reminder of the serious threat of terrorism, the horrific loss of life and preciousness of faith, life and freedom.

And so it goes…

It looks like a month has passed since I last made a blog entry.  I’ve thought about blogging stuff… actually, I’ve thought about it a lot. But I’ve been thinking I ought to steer clear of controversial stuff — and wow! has there ever been some controversial stuff going on!  But then I’ve thought that if I steer clear of commenting on controversial stuff, well, maybe there’s not a whole lot else to write about [...]]]> Hmmmmmmmm.  So, all that happened.

It looks like a month has passed since I last made a blog entry.  I’ve thought about blogging stuff… actually, I’ve thought about it a lot. But I’ve been thinking I ought to steer clear of controversial stuff — and wow! has there ever been some controversial stuff going on!  But then I’ve thought that if I steer clear of commenting on controversial stuff, well, maybe there’s not a whole lot else to write about — no, wait, there is nothing that’s not controversial to someone.  Then, if I write about mundane things, well, what’s the point in that?  If I’ve just lived something pretty mundane, I’m sure not inclined to write about it — though mundane is pretty subjective, isn’t it?  My mundane just might be your idea of a thrill and your mundane just might be something I’d savour.  Well, so anyway… I haven’t been writing for many reasons.

It’s been s-u-n-n-y and I’ve been working outside.
I’ve been smelling the roses.
Really.
We’ve been enjoying our son, Timothy, home on furlough –  a two month visit from Ghana… The visit is more than half over.
We’ve been celebrating birthdays, milestones and children’s scholastic achievements.

I don’t often write about all the stuff that’s going on anyway — for many reasons — but one of the main reasons is that I don’t want to sound like I am always repeating myself to family & friends who read this blog.  I start in on a marvelous story and they glaze over and drift off to sleep… sorry, read it already in your blog — spare us the details. A second time.  I don’t write about other stuff that’s going on bcz mu family appreciates demands needs some semblance of anonymity.

So, maybe tomorrow I decompress here what’s been going on over the last month or so. Pictures and stories and such.  If nothing else, it’ll be nostalgic to me someday — that, and my family and friends already lived it so they can just smile with me over what the Lord has done.

In the meantime… some light reading.  I mean, Light reading… go here.

O, and you thought I was going to write about MJ.  Or unemployment.  Or global cooling warming. Or the eligibility of the President.  Or cap ‘n trade.  Or the gvmnt run media.  Or this. Or this!.

I’m going to be gardening in the sunshine tomorrow… so a few things I’ll probably be thinking about as I dig around in the dirt.  So, here’s some.  (yeah, it was intended)

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

‘guess I’ll be heading into the my library to see this year’s display.  Last year’s show at our library was quite bold.

• WND’s David Kupelian writes an excellent and timely article. [note when it was written]; you may remember I’ve written in support of his very insightful work many times and have suggested reading his book The Marketing of Evil.    
  • This, from WorldNet Daily today, June 2, 2009:  “Author’s note: Although I wrote the following article two weeks ago for the June edition of Whistleblower titled  “DON’T TREAD ON ME,” for release later this week),  the murder of Wichita abortionist George Tiller, M.D., makes its message especially urgent.”
    

Take time to read the article — it will be worth your while.  It, like his other writings, is insightful, thougthful and thorough.  I think his reasoning is sound — I wouldn’t recommend it if I thought otherwise.

• More anti religion in schools… another very good reason to choose to *home educate* the children in your family.   Perhaps when more children are home educated with historically accurate curriculum the Constitution of The United States of America will be properly applied.

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

• And another entry in the ‘curiouser and curiouser’ category in freedom of assembly — this time for a home Bible study gathering.  I wonder if that county official would have sought to break up the meeting or joined the group for punch and cookies had it been a packed out, full house, cars lining the street, reelect Obama meeting.   I’m just sayin…
• Some people are still watching for Obama’s birthcert… no, not that one, the original.  Dontcha wonder what’s on it?

  I know, personally,that one can own two very different but very identical looking “original” birth certificates.  I know I could present one or the other and either would be accepted as proof of my birth.  I know the one that’s real and the one that replaced it when I was adopted by my mother’s husband.  I keep wondering (if the allegations are correct regarding all the descrepencies) how long it’ll be before the truth is finally made known.  Sad thing is — even if it’s found to be another lie, it really won’t matter much to a vast number of people.  They’re willing to blindly follow the man who, along with his administration, has destroyed or eroded much of America’s strength and foundation of freedom.

• I wrote some observations regarding the death of ‘dr.’ George Tiller yesterday.  I’m still thinking about his life and his demise.  Again, I am not ‘glad’ or any other similar thought that he is dead.  But I am thankful that no baby was murdered in his office yesterday or today.  And he will not murder another one tomorrow.  It’s been reported that he was one of three persons who performed ‘late term abortions’ in the US.  I pray the other two will voluntarily close their doors.

  I’m not sure how people can possibly miss the gruesome, deplorable acts of this man — his manipulation, deception and sick practices are nothing less that atrociously shocking.  I pray the attention being given to his ‘life’ will assault deadened senses and make people aware of the absolute barbaric and deplorable practice this society has not only accepted but fought to uphold.

  This sad and sickening story is but one example of a ‘patient’ whose emotions were greedily, sadistically exploited — one of the tens of thousands who were swindled, manipulated and deceived by this now deceased murderer.  Wiki is filling fast.

  Killing that man wasn’t the answer.  Killing babies is not the answer.

President Barack Obama didn’t shy away from the “snub” by Arizona State University officials who said he hadn’t accomplished enough yet to earn an honorary degree. In a commencement speech Wednesday to a stadium full of young graduates, he said the officials were right.

President Barack Obama didn’t shy away from the “snub” by Arizona State University officials who said he hadn’t accomplished enough yet to earn an honorary degree. In a commencement speech Wednesday to a stadium full of young graduates, he said the officials were right.

“I come here not to dispute the suggestion that I haven’t yet achieved enough in my life,” Obama said. With a smile he added: “First of all, Michelle concurs with that assessment. She has a long list of things that I have not yet done waiting for me when I get home.”

“But more than that I come to embrace the notion that I haven’t done enough in my life. I heartily concur,” the president said. “I come to affirm that one’s title, even a title like ‘president of the United States,’ says very little about how well one’s life has been led.”

Sad.

The title (and the life) of “President of the United States” really. ought. to. say. a. lot. about. how. well. one’s. life. has. been. led.  Truly.

Lost on President Obama is the fact that the Arizona State U faculty wasn’t referring to his lack of accomplishing home duties. That was just an arrogant snub to intelligent people — and a cool deflection.  They weren’t inferring he hadn’t done enough tasks in his life — the honourary degree would have been conferred, I’m supposing, had what he had accomplished in his life thus far been worthy of the degree.  Now if ASU offered Red Herring degrees…

But, apparently, they’ve read that book… and they just don’t see the fine gold threads either.

You know I’ve used that story as an analogy of this president’s life/policies for some time… and, I’ve just gotta say, lately, I’m coming to think that it seems he’s playing both parts: the emperor and the deceiving clothiers.
