Boy oh boy, was the debate ever a great one, Sarah Palin was absolutely wonderful, delightful to watch her electrify personality compared to that ho-hum boring Joe what's his name. It was such an abuse of his one lie a day average, I think he used up a whole months worth. Now saying that, I know Sarah Palin stretched a few numbers as well, but overall she was great. What a command of topics and thoughtful comments. I really believe she has what it takes, "say it ain't so Joe". My only hope and prayer is that many Americans can see clearly that the liberal ticket running against John and Sarah are so dangerous for this country. I do not believe this country could withstand the huge tax burden this pair of number 1 and number 3 most liberal senators would put on the middle class people of this great land. They would saddle the working class with more and more taxes only to gain more control over those who look to big government for their sole care. I cannot understand how they claim they will not tax 95% of Americans when only 70% of Americans pay taxes to start with. There are 30% of Americans who do not pay any federal income tax. This is due to either having an income below that tax base, or like myself are self employed and many after declaring all the legal deductions have a net profit which produces an income below the federal income tax base. Now those people, like me still have to pay self employment taxes, but many may not pay income tax. so how do you not tax 95% when only 70% pay in the first place. That is very poor math, even for a lawyer, but not for a senator.
Now I also need to say, I was wrong about Gwen Ifill, I do think she did an outstanding job of being fair and balanced in her questions of both Sarah Palin and Joe what's his name.

We cannot afford this
today I yield my space to the words of another. He says it much better then I could.
Dear Fellow American:
Never before in the history of our nation have we faced such a grave crisis: one of the most radical political figures ever to be nominated by a major party is just minutes away from becoming President of the United States.
That man is Barack Obama.
He promises to change America forever. If elected, he will do just that — but in ways you make not like.
Remember Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
He received a 100 percent Liberal Rating from the National Journal, making him the most left-wing Senator in Washington — more liberal than even Democratic senators like Ted Kennedy.
If you look at Obama’s record, you will understand just how dangerous this man is.
He even has terrorist friends he won’t denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. The group bombed several government buildings, including the Pentagon, killing civilians and police officers.
In 2001, Ayers said he had no regrets for his actions and wished he could have done more.
The ties between Obama and Ayers are tight. Both served on two non profit boards and they worked closely together. Ayers even hosted a political event at his home for Obama.
Obama has acknowledged he is a friend of Ayers and defends his association by saying he, Obama, was only 8 years old at the time of the Pentagon bombing.
However, Obama has no explanation as to why he is still a friend of Ayers.
Obama has even been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan.
No one can deny hearing about Obama’s relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama — because he is one of them.
In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without “preconditions” even though Ahmadinejad has promised to “wipe Israel off the map” and “destroy” America.
Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him.
“We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election,” Ahmed Yousef, senior Hamas leader was quoted by ABC radio as saying.
And then there are Obama’s dangerous economic plans for America.
He wants to almost double the capital gains tax. He wants to strip the FICA tax cap off every worker making more than $97,500. He wants to increase the dividend tax. He wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire — giving almost every American family an automatic tax increase.
He has called for more than $800 billion in new spending programs.
He is so radical he even backed driver’s licenses for illegal aliens — even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States.
He is the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. In 2001, as a state legislator in Illinois, he opposed a bill to protect live born children — children actually born alive! He was the only Illinois senator to speak out against the bill.
He opposes gun rights. He has long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns.
He originally backed Washington D.C.’s total ban on private handguns — a ban that was overturned. The NRA rated him an “F” on gun positions and says he is one of the most dangerous anti-gun politicians in the nation.
Never forget that Obama is a Harvard educated elitist. To him we Americans are simply “bitter” and he has mocked us saying “[they] cling to their guns and their religion.”
Exposing the Truth
Hillary Clinton was late in recognizing the threat Obama posed to her campaign, but once she did, her strategy worked.
When Hillary exposed Obama publicly, her campaign saw a major turnaround.
Hillary won every major state primary in the nation with the sole exception of Obama’s home state of Illinois.
And even though Obama was “anointed” by the media and Democratic elites, Hillary went on to win eight of the last 10 Democratic primaries.
How did Obama beat Hillary for the nomination?
Well, using a loophole in Democratic rules, he was able to rack up large majorities in caucus states where he outspent and out organized her.
But in large, contested states she won almost every time. Why? Because when Democrats heard what Obama really stood for, they turned on him.
Make no mistake about it: If we let Americans know the truth about Obama, John McCain can win this election!
But we must employ Hillary Clinton’s strategy.
We must expose Obama for the dangerous radical he is.
Thank you.
Yours for America,
Scott Wheeler
Executive Director

This is just too much
Alright my friends, I rant and rave some more. Can you actually believe that the quote moderator unquote for the upcoming Vice Presidential debate is a raging Barak Obama fan. Yes that is correct! Gwen Ifill has actually written a book to be released on 20JAn2009 to coincide with the inauguration of her affections. The books title is none other then "the Breadkthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama"
Can you believe it, we are in the Age of Obama!
She has also written a fawning cover story on Obama for Essence magazine. During the RCN convention when Sarah Palin gave her speech, Ms Ifill displayed an attitude of dismissive and actually had a look of digest upon her face. How in the world can anyone truly believe she will moderate the debate with a fair and balanced attitude. Many are raising this question, and if it were right, she should at the beginning of the debate stand and face the crowd, announcing her unbridled affection for Obama.
You can bet my friends, this will never happen, but I can assure you, she may very well show her contempt for Sarsh Palin, and that is just so completely non non-partisan.

The past speaks
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
THESE ARE THE WORDS OF ANDREW JACKSON, WHEN HE SPOKE TO A DELEGATION OF BANKERS IN 1832.... OH HOW I WISH JACKSON COULD SPEAK AGAIN
The issue back then was the Bank of the United States, a federally chartered institution—sort of a predecessor to the Federal Reserve—that Jackson, ever the populist, strongly opposed. Today, most people agree that a national bank is necessary, but as today’s vote demonstrates, there is no national consensus on transferring wealth from the middle to the top. Good! Let’s hope that principle holds true for a while longer.
THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JAMES P PINKERTON COMMENTING ON THE WORDS OF JACKSON.
So we stand on the threshold of a great takeover, a great fraud, a grand scheme by the wealthy, by the powerful, by those that desire to impose once more a great burden on the backs of the middle class working people for their own advancement, and all the while,telling false statements how they are for the working people, that is just pure bullshipping. The Obama plan will destroy the working people of America.
THESE ARE MY WORDS AND THOSE THAT FOLLOW ARE ALSO.
How can we ever trust a man, who got his home because of a close association will a convicted criminal, who has close tries to an unrepeated terrorist and sat under the preaching of a man who ask God to "damn America", and speaks hatred for the whites in this country, and now he wants to steal our money to help bailout his rich friends, like Mr Franklin Raines.
WAKE UP FRIENDS, the end may be nearer then we think!

Setting the record straight
It has been so long since I posted anything, but I am just fuming about the main stream media and their obsession with the man-boy Obama. It is as if he can not tell a lie, yet he speaks not any truth. The only thing I really want to deal with today is the fiction statement about only raising taxes on those making 250k or more. Give me a break Joe Biden about being patriotic. Let me just set the record straight, Obama will not keep the Bush tax cuts, He will not extend those tax cuts which simply means this:
Under the current Bush Tax cuts:
Single making 30K -tax is $4,500 Reversal under Obama 30K tax will be $8,400
Single making 50K Tax is $12,500 Under Obama 50K tax will be 14,000
Single making 75K tax is $18,750 Under Obama 75K tax will be 23,250
Married making 60K tax is $9,000 Under Obama 60K tax will be $16,800
Married making 75K tax is $18,750 Under Obama 75K tax will be $21,000
Married making 125K tax is 31,250 Under Obama 125K Tax will be 38,250 will
Now tell me how that strips the working class of their hard earned dollars so friends of Obama can get richer and richer
He is full of it! period, If only he could control himself to one lie a day.

Blogging
Well, aren't you all surprised that I have a post after some long time of living and let living in the world of blogsville. This is no doubt the smallest yet the largest of towns, and to some extent one knows no one and yet knows everyone, I have been without question involved and to what, I at times have no, to little idea. I wonder at times about how I spent my hours each day. I mean, I do work, that is drive all over and glad hand folks along the way, which is so far outside my comfort zone, I ponder how I am actually able to do that, Oh right, the Spirit of the Lord. I have been making progress on the railroad actually, during some of those off hours, which I seem to find at all hours of the day. Then there is those two little girls down the street, Oh how sweet it is to spent moments in their presence. Being a Papa is just the greatest gift I will ever have to enjoy. However, age keeps sneaking up as well, When I think of my first, Victoria heading off to be a freshman in High School. Oh my, how can it be? My time over the past few weeks or so since my last post, has also been a tad busy with sermons and lessons, I have had the occasion to be able to preach at the retirement community next to our church, for the past 3 weeks and several Sunday Night services at our church, so I have spent hours preparing and posting just didn't find it's way into my schedule. I know I am just going on about how busy I am and making excuses why not to post, and I know that informing you all of my life, also seems, or could seem a bit boastful, but I assure you that is not either the case, I merely offer this post as an appeasement to those that might for whatever reason have some interest in my doings.
As well as an offering of sorts, or an affirmation that I will endeavor to add to the list of thoughts that may trickle out from my brain, from time to time, if in fact any really do.

To blog at last
To blog at last, is my lot in life
All others making comments
So I blog as not to create strife
Much water under the bridge did pass
Since my last entry all who read
But the current that flowed has been a blast
To record it others have said
"do it", "write it" "put it all down"
Not so fast, some things are better left in the past
I'll mention one highlight
your curiosity to feed
A birthday I celebrated
God's grace was the deed!
Another year from the hand of his mercy
One more to be able to see my daughters
and granddaughters grow,
and my wife with to be.
The rest of the story, I bore you not with,
it consists of bogie's and birdies
and even pars you would not be a myth
It consists of working, preaching, laying track for the train,
mowing grass, sipping coffee on the deck in the morning shade
with my love to share a few moments of time to gain
In the immortal words of some famous pig
That's all folks
