A Coming Earthquake and Israel Rejects Obama’s Call for Reduction in Borders
Netanyahu is of course, correct, that if they went back to pre-1967 borders, their country would be only 12 miles wide. How can a country that small be defended against, especially when surrounded by countries hostile to their very existence?
Mr. Obama is Just Unbelievable
Thank you, Mr. Obama for showing the world what you really think. You went out of your way to give bin Laden a Muslim funeral (though I cannot imagine that the world would have given Hitler a Catholic funeral), you have sided against Israel every step of the way, and I pray that in the next election, God completely overrules you, and ousts you from office. This world, much less the United States, cannot take another four years of your growing Absolute Imperalism.
Why Should We Believe Them?
That’s the tentative title of my next book currently in the works. In it, I dissect the teachings and tenets of The Urantia Book, A Course in Miracles, Scientology, UFOs, and The Book of Life purportedly transcribed by Archangel Michael.
So far, it’s been a very interesting read on things. A number of chapters have already been written (totaling 70 pages), but it’s a long way to go before it’s complete. The main portion of this next book will deal with what The Urantia Book teaches on Jesus; His life, death, resurrection, etc. and of course, I’ll take the time to compare that with the Bible. It’s been fun so far.
When necessary, I’ll bring in quotes and information from the other books I mentioned. The reality seems to be that there are many ways to God, at least that’s what we’re told. The problem is that if that’s the case, then Christianity is totally and completely wrong. Obviously, I don’t believe that and while I’ve certainly tried to keep an open mind as I pour through the nearly 2,100 pages of The Urantia Book, it has become too clear that there are contradictions not only between Urantia and the Bible, but within Urantia.
I note with at least some measure of amusement that the people who are busy pointing out what they believe are contradictions in the Bible do so in an attempt to prove that the Bible cannot be trusted. However, any contradictions found within The Urantia Book are normally overlooked or explained away without denigrating the book itself. Funny how that works.
It will probably take me a good month or more to write this first draft. After that, the rewrites begin and then it’s off to the editor. Stay tuned to these pages for more on this and other topics.
Oh, and don’t forget that this Saturday, May 21st, Jesus is supposed to return, at least according to Harold Camping, the loon in Northern California. He’s made a guess about this before and was wrong then. I’m confident he’ll be wrong this time as well. It’ll be interesting to read what excuse he provides for Jesus’ physical absence this Saturday. That’s also going to be the topic of my radio broadcast on KAHI too. Tune in if you get a chance at Noon on AM950 KAHI. If you’re out of the area, head over to their web site at http://www.kahi.com and click on the “on the air” button to hear it live. That’s noon Pacific Standard time, this Saturday.
Is Chris Matthews Sexually Attracted to Sarah Palin? I’m Just Asking…
Chris, try to ease off on Palin. She’s not a threat. A lot of people like her because she is attractive and she is conservative. That’s about it. There are other people you should probably focus on; people who have a far better chance of defeating your buddy Obama in the next election.
Rapper Common, Stewart, and O’Reilly
There are a ton of important issues to discuss. Conservative talk show hosts and pundits need to pick their battles more carefully. They need to see beyond the symptom and start vilifying the problem that causes the symptom. They need to do it NOW.
Tragedy is Going to Hit North Korea in June
In June of this year, it is estimated that between 1 million and 6 million people will starve to death in North Korea due to severe winter that has left the country’s farmland decimated, unable to grow food.

Liberals Already Attacking Newt
Liberals never take too long to castigate and denigrate someone they don’t like. Only liberals are really “allowed” to tear apart a political candidate or organization that they don’t cotton to, because as far as they’re concerned, they have to do everything they can to make it impossible for someone on the opposite side of the aisle to fail. It’s simply part of the process that leftheads subscribe to.
Newt Gingrich no sooner announced his candidacy to become the Republican presidential nominee, when the liberals and leftheads alike came out from under their proverbial rocks to throw some of those rocks at Newt. It’s all too formulaic and predictable.
The problem of course is that people tend to allow their own personal candidate to say what he wants and not really worry about holding them accountable. That is for the other party, or the opposing candidate. The reality is that I have yet to see or hear of a political candidate that is above board in all areas. No one can be considered without hypocrisy. The left will never say that and will never shine the light on Mr. Obama. To hear the leftheads tell it, this country is in wonderful shape all because of what Mr. Obama has been doing.
Here are just a few examples culled from one of the places where people can post their comments after a news story:
“And the Republican’s as the most successful war mongering party who drained the entire country of all our money. Billion dollars a day on war while the country dove into a depression and millions lost their house and long term jobs. Put that on your resume, now they come back out of the woodwork in 2012 to start over…….”
“Gingrich is a fool, only an idiot would consider him fit for even dogcatcher. But he sure knows how to milk the money machine for his own personal gain.”
“Ah, Newt, such a shining example of your party’s true colors, scandal, adultery, ethics violation, war monger, and against all women’s rights. Yeah, you are a true Georgia peach, just a little over ripe and dried up.”
“Barack Obama is not far left leaning and is not socialist. Truth of the matter is that he is more of a centrist, and the far left don’t think he is liberal enough. Republican/tea party don’t like him because he is black, as Newt’s Civil War comment so eloquently points out. Mr. Obama could be sent from God, and people will find fault with his agenda. But as of yet, the Republicans have not come up with any one I want to vote for. Their group of buffoons is pitiful.”
And so it goes. Many of these comments are simply asinine. Of course, let’s not forget to point out that the individual who made the last comment managed to include a comment about Republicans being “racist.” It plays well in the media.
The idea that Mr. Obama is a centrist is absurd. He is very far left and people understand this, but the leftheads believe if they deny it enough times (like crying racism) it will become the truth.
Has Mr. Obama gotten us OUT of the war yet? As I understand it, he has gotten us INTO areas like Libya and elsewhere. He has okay’d the mission that sent Navy Seals in to kill bin Laden.
What can we expect as time marches on toward the next election? More of the same from the left and rebuttals from the right, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Let me ask this: who in God’s Name would want to run for politics today? It simply means facing one smear campaign after another. The issues are not discussed. They are twisted so that the facts surrounding those issues become clouded with acrimony and castigation. It takes guts to want to run for office today because a candidate no sooner announces his candidacy and if that candidate is on the right, the leftheads and leftwing media move in for the kill, like vultures on the branch overlooking the latest wounded animal.
If the candidate is on the left, that same leftwing media moves into to throw up every possible blockade in order to protect their candidate. That’s the way it is and Newt understands that.
Am I saying I would vote for Newt? At this point, I have not determined anything. I’m simply praying that God will provide a candidate that conservatives can get behind. I’m also praying that God will lead that candidate all the way to the White House so we can be done with Socialism, and get back to what this country was founded on: democracy as a republic of one nation, under God.

Of course, liberals and leftheads continue the mantra that we are better off under the Obama Administration that the Bush Administration. The hard cold facts seem to disagree. Then of course, I guess if you’re one of those individuals who loves debt, enjoys watching the dollar sink, can party while banks fail and all the rest, then obviously, Mr. Obama’s tenure as president is good for you. So what can we expect if Mr. Obama is re-elected? There is no reason to think that the picture would improve. We would have four more years of the same with liberals loving it and continuing to blame Bush for our economic woes.
Just take the last item in the above list: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history.. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane going 27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH.

Rapper Common Brings Ghetto to the White House
Maybe people will wake up to the fact that Mr. Obama is someone other who he pretends to be and maybe…just maybe, he won’t have a second term in office because he’ll be voted out in the next election. One can only hope and pray.
