Pig in a Poke

I think one of our basic problems is we quit telling our kids the fairy tales, as they were written, - no we had to fix them up and make them better. I remember back in 1980, I bought into the Jupiter Effect, it was a scare which stated that in 1982 there would be a planetary alignment of all nine planets, (before Pluto was demoted) and that the combined gravitational pull was going to disrupt life on earth.

Well it didn’t happen, and I realized, it was no more than a “Chicken Little” story. Global Warming is the same story, “Chicken Little!” Simply a matter of making myself important, by scaring you.

If you want to sell something, first you scare your customer, then you sell him a cure.

I knew early on that Bill Clinton was no more than “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and is the case with Obama, he’s running around naked as a jaybird, and everybody refuses to see.

I think we need to get back to the basic stories & philosophies so the people learn to recognize bullshit when it is presented it to them. Ronald Reagan was very good at using basic stories, like the “Evil Empire” speech, I know he was referring to Star Wars, but Star Wars is a basic story of good and evil that was popular at the time, and the people understood, and responded. No matter how well you dress up a pig, it’s still a pig! Hahahha!!!! It’s true.

Solitude

Solitude

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

Weep, and you weep alone.

For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,

But has trouble enough of its own.

Sing, and the hills will answer;

Sigh, it is lost on the air.

The echoes bound to a joyful sound,

But shrink from a voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;

Grieve, and they turn and go.

They want full measure of all of your pleasure,

But they do not need your woe.

Be glad, and your friends are many;

Be sad, and you lose them all.

There are none to decline your nectar-ed wine,

But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;

Fast, and the world goes by.

Succeed and give, and it helps you live,

But no man can help you die.

There is room in the halls of pleasure

For a long and lordly train,

But one by one we must all file on

Through the narrow aisles of pain.

The American Ideal

Now, if you’ve been following, then you are aware Science is telling us… the Bible is correct…. The whole of it (the universe), is no more than six-thousand years old. Most likely the Chinese calendar started near the end of the flood.  (?)

So…. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” You know, this is how the bible starts out. The bible…. It’s a history of the Hebrew people… The interesting thing about this history is the presents of this God.

A consistent God, a God who’s command is absolute, and the earth obeys his will. We do not… But the earth does… This history, this 1500 year history, on its face, is not possible, without the presents of this God… Now… I know they’re dead… they’ll all dead. They been dead awhile…. But does that make what they said, what they witnessed, untrue…?  

Our fore-fathers, who are also dead, believed this God, the God of the bible…indeed… is God… They believed that. Therefore what this God taught was valid, and brought into their reasoning… Their logic, their sense of justice, their idea of individual sovereignty stems from….

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” This was a root, a foundation on which to build. Something you could be sure of, something you could believe in… And through obedience of the first commandment, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shall have no other Gods before me), you are granted authority.

Think about this… The very fact that you know this, (on the level of belief) gives you much freedom, because now you can deal with the earth on terms. No worry of false Gods…. The earth had a beginning and will have an end…. God’s in charge, I don’t need to worry about global warming, or meteors…  I don’t need to worry about water, energy deposits, or food supplies, or clothing, God drowned all the animals, as well as the human race with the flood of Noah’s day. I have no need to worry over a darter nail. I don’t have to let the wolves eat my herd. I don’t have to let the oil and coal sit in the ground, God gave it to me… to do with as I will…

It also gives you a place to start…

To build a culture, a country, a nation… Our fore-father’s built, based on what they believed, would be a country rooted in the ten commandments.

But??? Pretty much only that….acknowledging God, who gave them to us… They didn’t agree on much pass that… But they did agree on the Ten Commandments, because obedience to these commandments, led’s to liberty, and these men believed this.

Please refer o to my paper, “What is Liberty?”

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-is-liberty_27.html

Our constitution comes out of this foundation… “The individual alone is accountable to God…”  If you are an American…. This is what you believe. This is what makes you sovereign… This is the authority you call upon…. “In God we trust.” This is the flag you fly.  So when you start yapping about your rights…  Think about who you’re yapping to…

and What you believe…  

George Henry Nichols… 

What is Liberty?

Liberty? Someone tweeted what is liberty? If you read my blog, than you know I’ve said, girls = liberty. And that’s true. 

Liberty. What is liberty? Have we forgotten what liberty is? 

God is liberty. That simple. 

Don’t let anyone tell you this is not a Christian Nation, the philosophy of the Christian Tradition, which is rooted in the Jewish tradition, leads to liberty. Why? Because the truth works. 

There are three basic motivating factors, food, sleep and sex. Keep that in mind, very important. Now, consider all the wild animal shows you watch on big brother, and how vicious the wild world is. It’s tough to make a living, it just is. It’s kill or be killed. It run for you life, till you can’t run no more, then somebody eats you. That’s the way it is. The laws of evolution (?), it’s the way it works. Those animals are at liberty. Get it. 

Now, man is by nature a social creature, so he is going to be drawn together in groups. Groups, or on his own, has to provide for food sleep and sex. This isn’t easy in a wild world, with all the fussing and fighting and regardless, the stronger would prevail. That’s the laws of evolution (?), that’s the way they work. That’s liberty. 

Now God set us on a path contrary to the law of evolution and gave us a set of rules, which if obeyed, provides for food, sleep and sex. In other words, a man is at liberty to do as he chooses, because he will choose goodness, over himself. Not always an easy thing to do, but when practiced, leads to liberty and prosperity. Quite a different picture from the liberty of the wild kingdom. Either way you’re free, what’s it going to be? Consider these rules…..     

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shall have no other gods before me. 

By revealing himself to us as the one true God, we are by default empowered, which in turn brings peace of mind. Empowered because we understand that we answer to no one except God; therefore you cannot enslave me because I belong to the one true God, and I cannot serve his greater Glory if I am enslaved. Nor shall I be molested or led astray because God has shone me the way, and no other, regardless of rank can change that which God has put in place, thus God gives me rank over the wicked. If I can adhere to this teaching, I am granted purpose and meaning in my life, to seek and serve him who has created me and has revealed himself to me. And with these things in place, I can’t help but have peace of mind, for what else can matter? I am given authority to be alive, to protect myself and be my own person.   

You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth: you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their fathers’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation, but bestowing mercy down to the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments. 

This one is tuff, and can be confusing if not approached properly. First of all it has nothing to do with figurines, statues, stain class windows or any of these things, and if you follow me, I’ll show you why. First let us take at look at these things, statues, figurines, paintings, stain glass. The ability to create such things is a great talent, with a compulsive desire to create. We can only assume this talent is a gift from God. So the question arises, why would God give to man a compulsive desire to create such things? Well, one reason the Church offers up is: this ability is a form of language, to communicate things that otherwise would not be communicated. Art is a language, no different than music, math and linguistics. While linguistics tends to be confined to a particular culture or peoples, art and music tend to be universal. Artwork was used extensively by the early Church to communicate the life of Christ to people whose language was different from those teaching. It was also used to tell the gospels stories among people who couldn’t read. This commandment played a big part in forming the way the Hebrews looked at and responded to the world around them. God didn’t say you couldn’t have a figurine, he said you (sin is personal) could not make it an idol, which is an abstract idea, thus introducing the Jews to the abstract, the beginning of creative and critical thinking. But in a larger sense, when the world became an overwhelming experience, because of rising water in a flood, a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, a tornado, a large meteor from the sky, what ever was to come along, the Jews could be sure it wasn’t God, it was part of God’s creation, but God was bigger and beyond whatever it was. (Geneses 1.1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth). With this idea in place, it can be concluded that all things belong to God, and therefore unfold according to God’s plan, a single plan, one God. Without the fear of false gods or idols to hinder you, or limit your thinking: this plan could be understood with a study of the truth, thus the birth of the modern idea of science. Plainly said, it simply forces us to think big! 

You shall not take the name of your Lord thy God in vain.

Just what does this mean, vain: 1. without real significance, value or importance. In other words, without knowing you said it, where there is no thought of God. When I was seven, my father bought me a BB gun and gave it to me with a few rules. One of these rules were “you can’t shoot song birds, if I catch you shooting song birds, it’s your ass.” Well I learned one bird from another because when my Dad said it’s your ass, I knew what he meant, and I knew he meant it! At the time I thought Dad liked songbirds, but I’m a grown man now and my Dad is dead. He didn’t give a damn about a song bird, I know that now, he wanted to make sure that I always knew what was in my sights before I pulled the trigger. In the same way God, by denying us the use of his name without cause, which he finds offensive, has demanded we be present to who we are, what we say and what we do. That we be actors in this life and not spectators. That we be true to thy own self.   

Now lets develop this Idea a little, this means you are created in such a way, as to be present, anytime you’re conscience, if you choose to be. This is a very important concept here, because it brings into play the idea of the will.  What is the will? The will is the conscience’s power over the body. The conscience is confirmed because it can choose contrary to the way it feels. Thus the will exists because the conscience exists.  Now consider this for a moment, look at the world of mammals, or animals, no were among them do you fine one that can choose contrary to the way it feels. It’s how they work, it is what makes them work and respond to the world around it. They are hard wired. If you want to change an animal’s behavior, you change the way he feels. Yet, among human beings alone is behavior observed contrary to the way the creature feels, and indeed, encourages their young to act contrary to the way they feel. Thus, this is the witness to the will, which in turn is wittiness to the conscience. Now this is very basic, and very simple, you have to consider it for yourself.  Now you might say, well?  All the commandments, cause you to know what you are doing, to be present, yes I agree, but!  The second commandment addresses this idea at the very level of the being, the place in the mind were who and what you are manifest itself into language, where it can be spoken, are not. This is where the human being exists, where the gray mass comes forth into language in such away it can be understood by the conscience, and the conscience of others, if spoken. This is the very core of your being, and the second commandment demands you be present, at the guard at all times.  Liberty  

 Remember to keep holy the Sabbath. 

God wants a relationship, with you. Once a week you’re invited into his house. Not you neighbor, not the holy people in the front row, you. These laws are personal, like your relationship with God, personal. Ya have a whole day, once a week to think about God. How do you think about God? Well you can go to Church, and I recommend it. But consider during the day, if God created everything as we see, hear, smell, taste and touch it. Then you have to admit, God’s quite an artist. And how do you know an artist, you study his work, look at it with awe and marvel, and be grateful you got to see such a thing as this, and spend the day with him. The amount of time this created to contemplate larger things, leads to larger things. Growth in oneself. Liberty  

Honor Thy father and thy mother, that your days maybe long upon the earth.

(If you notice, the gift is attached, “that your days maybe long upon the earth.”)  I also look at this and see the foundations of the Patriarch and the Matriarch, thus creating rank and structure in the family, which spills over into the community, and into the nation. Empowering parents to educate their children, thus creating the idea and practice of collective knowledge.        

Think about that. This is the foundation of all education. And you might think it’s aimed at the youth, but indeed both, because the default is, parent’s be worthy. And we all know, understanding leads to liberty.   

You shall not kill.

This is the foundation of the sanctity of life. You can’t kill me because God says you can’t, this makes me special to God. Thus I am sacred. Now just when was it I became sacred, and when exactly do I stop being sacred? The original Hebrew word refers to murder: You can not kill out of conveyances. But if ones lives by the sword, than one dies by the sword. That is to say, you have the right to defend your life and what’s yours. Liberty.   

You shall not commit adultery.

By default, if you keep this commandment, you have the foundation of the family; you have the foundation of trust, because if you can’t trust the one you’re sharing a bed with, children with, then who can you trust? With whom can you do business? Form alliances? Trust begins in marriage and indeed is the cornerstone of marriage. Fidelity helps keep the family free of disease, and this extends into the community. Fidelity goes along way to keeping peace within a community. The family is the foundation of many communities, companies, and nations. Without the family you have tyranny. Marriage defines who’s having sex with whom, and whose kids are whose. . It establishes a branch, with a history and tradition of collective knowledge and wisdom which can be passed on and added to. Sex, being a primary motivator, and if women are recognized as the gift they are, leads to liberty.   

Thou shall not steal. 

This is the foundation of free enterprise. Simply by denying us the right to steal, by default, you have the right to possess. To trade, if you can trade, you can build wealth and trade it for wealth others have built, and thus you can grow as a community, as a nation. Jesus said ‘give to the poor,’ you cannot give what you do not possess. Everything we possess comes from obedience to this commandment. And you have the right to defend what is yours because if you are not willing to defend it, is it really yours? Liberty and prosperity.    

Thou shall not bear false witness. 

This is the foundation of law, of justice. You cannot have justice without truth, if you are not willing to witness to the truth, then how can you have justice, and of what use is law. One is depended upon the other. Liberty   

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor goods, harvest, ass, house, nor his wife.

This is the very bedrock of happiness, if you can keep this commandment, it means you have come to terms with who and what you are, and you are satisfied and pleased with what God has done and is doing for you in your life). Liberty.   

Now do you want to spend your time consumed with envy, worrying about what your neighbors have and you do not, what you could be and what you are not. Do you want to spend your time looking over your shoulder because you are a liar, a cheat, a thief, a killer, and the people you offended are hunting you down like a dawg, with a price on your head, with no regard for your life. Do you want to spend your time worrying about the man who’s wife you abused or running from women who blame their children on you, or spend your time dripping with disease. Do you want to spend your time learning everything you need to know from scratch, with no thought of teaching you, or helping you, to spend your time without the love and admiration of one’s parents; of ones’ children? Do you want to spend your time working at your task, with no break, with no time for family, community, or rest? Do you want to spend your time looking for and trying to satisfy all the gods the world has put up for you to admire and pay tribute. Do you want to spend your time in fear of displeasing these strange gods and having their wrath rain down upon you, because you don’t know who they are, or what to do to please them, to spend your time in hopelessness, because these gods offer you nothing beyond your grave?   Yes, I do believe these Ten Commandments were indeed gifts. If you walk thru a cemetery and look at the tombstones, what do you find? The day a person was born, and the day they died, that’s what you find. A person’s life is made of time, that’s all you have. If you consider the time, that simple obedience to these commandments free up, your God has truly given you the path to liberty.   ©

As a note; I do not believe in evolution, I believe "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Be Wary of Tragedy

My heart goes out to victims who survived and the families of all the victims. This is a time of shock, grief and mourning. As to the dead, none of my business, God will sort that out, and he alone. As a Catholic, I petition my Lord Jesus Christ, please have mercy on their souls. Amen.

Beyond this, I concern myself not, because pain is personal. Things like shock, grief, mourning and even dying are very personal. No one can be shocked for you, no one can grieve for you, no one can do your mourning for you, and most important, no can pass thru the doorway of death for you. These things are part of the cross we bare. And I have no right to horn in on someone else’s tragedy.

But I do have the right to address how this is going to affect me.

This is part of the problem we have with the media, especially in this day and age of instance information and on the spot live reporting, brought right to you.

As a result, the entire country is caught up in their Shock, grief and mourning, when in earlier generations, a tragedy like this would have been localized, with impersonal articles about it in the papers.

We as a country should not get caught up in a tragedy like this. One; it’s really none of our business, and two; if affects the mood of the entire country.

Okay people, realize we fight the devil here as well as Obama and the liberal establishment. With a local event like this, Satan drags down the mood of the entire country. We become a country of perpetual grief and mourning, caught up in everyone’s tragedies, this is not healthy on a personal level, and can devastate the character of a nation, robbing us of our energy, trust and good will. This is one of the stickiest tar babies we face, because it pulls at our guilt and heart strings. Liberals love playing guilt and heart strings, its music to their ears (because it represents control).

Satan plays to your weakness; he keeps you emotionally distraught and distracted by bringing everyone’s tragedy right to your person. Let those involved deal with their tragedies, and bring the joy back into the American Spirit. Look around, bless and kiss your wives and daughters and count and celebrate your blessings.    

Consider if this had happened a hundred years ago, we may not even know it for a day or two, perhaps up to a week, and the impact would not stand in the way of our day to day life and the way we feel. Why? Because we would read it in the paper, or hear it on the radio, we would have said, ‘What a Tragedy,’ said a pray for them and that would have been that. And as a result, the nation had a happy spirit about it because most people are happy.

But as it is, we see the crying, the yelling, the fear, the gunshots and the panic over and over right there in our own living rooms, dragging us down to the depths of emotional despair. And if we are happy, then we feel guilty and get all politically correct so we don’t offend some unhappy fool.

I say to any of you God fearing Christians out there, it is your moral duty to be happy, for did not Christ bring us the good news! Death is a doorway and not an end, and therefore death truly is not a tragedy. And be damn with anyone who isn’t happy, you owe them no apologies. God and God alone is the source of your happiness, do not apologize for God.

I say again, we have a battle with the media, they demand and live so much of our lives for us. They are big brother, turn the shit off. Do not spend time, energy and emotional response on someone else’s tragedy, spend these things in our own life.

A person just has so much emotional energy. This emotional energy is a big motivator in one’s life. We are at war here for the soul of America. We need this energy to do the things that need to be done. Don’t let big brother rob you of it. You bark and bark and bark at things like this, just a barking at that damn television and/or computer. Barking dogs don’t bite!

If you know your history, things like this happen all the time, not so often as not to be shocking, but often enough that you should understand, crazies are out there, and things like this are just going to happen. They just are… We nailed Christ to a tree; he did not promise us a tragic free life.

We are at war here, and this tragedy will be used by the left to make a run for our guns. They are going to come at us like a forest fire; you have to build a back fire.

In 1920 we passed a prohibition against alcohol. Did it work? The 1920 were some of the bloodiest years in our history, because people are going to have their booze, and all the prohibition did was create a bunch of criminals. The people drinking it, the people making it, the people selling it, the people transporting it, everyone was a criminal over night.

A prohibition on guns is not going to make them go away, it’s impossible. Let’s not try to do something that can not be done. Let’s not make a nation of criminals with a stroke of a pen, leaving ourselves open to any enemy foreign or domestic.

The one thing a tragic situation like this should tell you, is government CAN NOT protect you. All they do is show up afterwards; fill out reports and the news media and politicians grandstand. And they blame it on the gun.

Guns don’t kill people, criminals do. If anyone in there had been armed, this would have ended lickity split. I know he was wearing all kinds of bullet proof gear, tells me he was a coward, if someone would have started shooting back, he would have run like the hare before the hound. Notice he waited on the cops.

This was done for fame; he’s got another 10 to 15 years before they execute him, if they do. And he’ll be famous the whole time. And we are going to give it to him. Movies will be made, books written so on and so forth… and we feed the beast… Do your part, shoot a criminal.

There should be a speedy trial and a public hanging, and any wanna be’s will think twice.  Justice delayed is justice denied.

Men, if you have a woman in your life, and you don’t carry a gun, you’re a damn fool. There are three basic motivating factors worth fighting and dying for, food sleep and sex. And your woman is a target for one of these. 

This is how the peace is kept, if every man can defend himself and what’s his, then every man is defended, and so goes the country. The Japanese never would have tried to invade the mainland, because every Tom, Dick and Harry had a gun, and knew how to use it, and the Japanese knew this.

There are so many cases where if one of the good guys had had a gun, things would have been different. Arm yourselves, practice, burn some ammo and support the people who make it.

People, we can not give up our guns.

You can not reason with the unreasonable, quit trying. Its time to stand up and take the arrows of outrageous fortune and set thing right, it our job and our duty.

My fellow Americans, do not give up your guns, they are your only hope. Do not put your faith in men, instead cling to your God, for he loves you and knows you, and your guns, which in this promise land, he gave you, make good use of them.

May God Bless us all.

George Henry Nichols

The Philosopher

I have come to discover over recent years, that I am a philosopher, an old and forgotten art. Now we have a lot of people who say they are philosophers, and they philosophize. Most are filled with shallow foolishness. Others stab at it, missing this or that, because they didn’t think it through.

That is the art of philosophy, to think it thru, to find the truth, as best we can, and train ourselves to believe it. But that takes time and effort and a lot of information. That’s why a culture has philosophers, to do the heavy lifting, to figure it out according to what is known to be true. That’s the key; you can’t build a successful philosophy, and subsequent culture on falsehoods. Whatever you do, it has to be in harmony with the very real world around it, or it’s not going to work. You can’t build a culture that doesn’t believe in eating, they would stave. You can’t build a culture that doesn’t believe in sex, they would die out. Okay, these are basic truths that we have to follow in order to survive; to live better than we would otherwise, we need a philosophy. Therefore it is necessary to create a common philosophy on which to build a culture, for a culture is built on common ideas and goals. If these ideas and goals are flawed, then the culture will play itself out. That is to say: it will rise to the level onto which their philosophy is based in truth. Above that, they have no reality to build on, and the world around you is real, regardless of what you might think.

My mother was a philosopher; I didn’t know it when I was young, but I did listen to her, and she was a well educated and very wise woman, a woman who had a way of seeing things as they are. I’ll be quoting her quite a bit. My father was a very smart man, he liked math, and my father liked things to add up. He would say, “If it doesn’t add up! It doesn’t add up.” He also liked to say. “If it’s true here, then it’s true there.” That is to say, if 2X2=4, than 4/2=2, that simple, don’t over complicate it. If you see it here, then you’ll see it there. I’ll be quoting my father quite a bit as well.

My Mother once told me, it’s better to watch the game than to play in it. Play, be part of the game, learn how it works at ground level, what does it take to make it happen? But, your point of view should always be from the bleachers, and beyond. As a result of this advice, I never saw, what my peers saw, I never heard what my peers heard. That was an odd thing that I didn’t come to understand for many years. So I was always at odds with my peer group. I just saw things differently.

I was born and reared a Roman Catholic, and learned the foundation, and teachings of the Church. I remember once as a teenager, I asked Dad, “You really believe all that stuff at Church?” He said yes. Now remember, I was born in ’52, so I was right in the middle of all the new age thinking. So I said, “But it doesn’t make any sense, with what there’re teaching at school.” He replied, ‘it’s the only thing that does make sense, don’t be afraid to scrutinize your God, He can stand up to it.”

Back to being a philosopher, my Mother and my Father sent me on a journey, that I have come to realize in recent years, I need to write down, because, that’s what philosopher’s do.

I not going to tell you my life story, I figure that’s another book, nor am I going to rehash what others believe, for that’s not my purpose, my purpose is to tell you what I believe, what I think and how it applies.

My Dad and I used to like to watch archeology documentaries. It was fun to watch them dig up the past and talk about what they thought. Then once, in later years, they (archeologist) were digging up some fellows who had shipwrecked up around Nova Scottish sometime in the eighteen hundreds, and had been buried by the local’s in the permafrost. Dad looked at me and asked, “How long you gotta be dead, before its okay to dig you up?” And I looked at him and said, “I don’t know.” But it got me to thinking. Archeologist is a fancy and acceptable word for grave robber. Now, if you looked up archeologist, and grave robber in the dictionary, you would get two different meanings for the same activity. One we accept, and one we do not.

Just how long do you have to be dead, before it is okay to dig you up for the people, or for profit? A hundred years, five hundred years, should you dig up your own? How about cultures of the past, a people who aren’t really part of who you are? On what criteria would you base such a decision? Or do you just ignore it, and accept the idea this grave robber has a degree, works under the guise of an archeologist, and is working for your good.

When I was six years old, my father gave me a bb gun, He gave me a mess of rules to go with it, the first of which was, don’t point a gun at anyone unless you intend to kill them, second, you can kill anything you want (within the law), but you can’t kill a song bird, or its your ass. I knew what he meant when he said, ‘or it’s your ass!’ Well, I learned one bird from another, just so I wouldn’t get caught shooting a songbird. At the time I thought Daddy liked song birds. Well he’s dead, and the years rush on, and I have come to realize, he didn’t give a damn about songbirds, it was his way of teaching me to always know what in your sights, before you pull the trigger.

So you see, there is more to passing along a Philosophy, then just talking about it. You have to live it in traditions, and taught repeatedly. This is where the ole sayings came from, Sayings like; ‘Birds of a feather flock together,’ ‘ a stitch in time, saves nine,’ ‘Well done is better than well said,’ so on and so forth.

What makes this political? Politics are a very real part of the culture, and therefore the Political Philosophy has to be based in truth, in what is real other wise it will crumble, and the culture right along with it.

Remember a culture ruled by one man, or a group of men, can only rise to the level of that one man, or that group of men and their imagination, ideas and ambitions.

A Culture of people, who limit their Law, and express themselves as free people, can touch the moon. ©

THE REAL PROBLEM

What are we going to do or not do? That is the question. Depend on Politicians? Where, I ask, has this gotten us?

I ask you to watch the following film, at first it may seem a little silly, and you may wonder, what has this got to do with anything? But the truth is; this is the exact situation we are in.

Consider the rabbit; he is the conservative and/or the libertarian. He is happy, free and living his life as he sees fit, causing no one harm. Live and let live. He is interested in what is right, because what is right, keeps him free.

Now the fox is government and the evils of liberalism, he sees the rabbit and what the rabbit has and is envious, and he wants what the rabbit has for himself. But because of his envy, he can’t be the rabbit, so he set out to destroy (or consume) the rabbit. The fox is clever, sly and cunning, with evil in his heart.

The bear is the common democrat, who isn’t so clever and believes very little, and goes along with the fox because the fox promises him much. He is greedy and lazy more than he is envious.

Now in order for the fox to destroy the rabbit, he creates Tar Babies. Things that just aren’t right, things the rabbit can’t just pass by, because they interfere with the natural order of his freedom. (Abortion, Global Warming, Police actions, Pollution, Multiculturalism, Energy Shortages, Invasion (proper term for Illegal Immigration), Redefining Marriage, ect… ect… ect…

The fox is using the rabbit’s sense of decency against him, and the rabbit is compelled to put up a battle, but because the fox is sly, and the bear a brute with a big growl, the squeal of the rabbit goes unheard. So the fox is free to do as he chooses (evil) and prepares to consume the rabbit while the rabbit is tangle in the tar baby.

Notice also, how the fox treats the bear. The bear is a useful idiot, he takes from the bear freely to his own end; he ignores the bear and treats him with contempt, and presses him into service.

This is exactly what is going on today, we are the rabbit, and we are so tangle in the tar baby, the more we thrash around, the worst off we get. We have lost ever debate (tar baby), except the right to own and bare arms, and just how much ground have we lost there. (?)

Now you will notice at the end of the film, the rabbit quits struggling and listens to who the fox and bear are, and what they have planned, and he uses it against them, and thus a happy ending.

As you can see, they have blocked this video, not so much because it's racist, but because it tells you the truth of what they are doing, the real problem.. So much for free speech... Please refer to this link for the stories... Don't doubt for one moment, this man, Uncle Remus, a Negro slave, was filled with wisdom, and it's this wisdom they don't want you to hear.

The Dangers of Assumptions

When someone has little information. That someone will make assumptions. It’s part of the way the mind works, the mind is operating an on going story, life. Where there are gaps, due to the unknown, we tend to plug in scenarios, to make it fit into the story.

Like Scientist plug numbers in the unknown factor, just to see what happens. Difference is the scientist keeps track of what the unknown factors are. Sometimes, we do not. That is to say, we quietly come to believe the parts we made up. And too many times, we become so attached to it, because to replace the scenario with the truth would involve a lot of readjusting to the on going story, your life. Mentally, this involves a lot of work, because if you are truly seeking the truth, than you will be constantly replacing scenarios with truth, adjusting the way you look at things. This takes dedication, because an open mind is willing to challenge both sides, the part he made up, and the part he thinks is true. Because many times new information proves older information to be invalid, and we have to be willing to make the adjustment instead of ignoring it. But the open mind is also willing to take what it believes to be true, and stand on it, and build on it.

Now, if what I say is true??? Than to do otherwise would be intellectually lazy.

What ever happened to the noble professions?

          There was a time when we had what was called the noble professions, they were Teaching, Medicine and Law. Why were they called the noble professions? Because they were important to the culture as a whole, because they required much in the way of education and because they didn’t pay very well. You took up one of these professions because you loved it and were of noble heart and wished to serve your fellow man.

          I ask you, where are these professions today? Law and Medicine are two of the highest paying careers, and teaching isn’t too shabby. I know all teachers do is bitch about their pay, but when I look at the average salary, my sympathy tends to dry up. And if you reply to this and try and justify yourselves, then you are most certainly not noble, and don’t need to be teaching.

          These professions were looked upon with great respect and awe because of the education necessary. Many in a community looked to these people for advice and guidance. Now I find teachers who can barely speak the language and teach for the most part a curriculum to satisfy an arbitrary test instead of what is useful to the student, the community and the culture as a whole, complaining about their pay the entire time.

          Lawyers have become despised because they distort the law to their own benefit and pockets instead of making a noble attempt to uphold the law and seek justice, thus serving the general welfare.

          Doctors have become agents of misery as they bombard you with untold tests in order to drive up your bill and hold the lawyers at bay. Many are unconcerned with health and opt to enlarge your breast and fatten your lips helping to promote an unhealthy view of beauty.  Others to repair folks who insist on doing what the body was not made to do, promoting the idea that it can, I ask you, is this healthy? And many Doctors opt to learn more and more about less and less so that you can no longer have, a doctor, but an army of them, each looking at a different part of you, but all dipping into your wallet, and even worst, our wallet.

Corruption and fraud have become mainstays in all three professions. How could this happen?

          I ask you, how long can we go on with the three noble professions corrupted, for are they not the icons and examples of what nobility is, and can a nation survive without a true sense of Nobility. I ask you, I put it to you? ©

You shall not take the name of your Lord thy God in vain

You shall not take the name of your Lord thy God in vain.  - (Just what does this mean, vain: 1. without real significance, value or importance. In other words, without knowing you said it, where there is no thought of God). When I was seven, my father bought me a BB gun and gave it to me with a few rules. One of these rules were “you can’t shoot song birds, if I catch you shooting song birds, it’s your ass.” Well I learned one bird from another because when my Dad said it’s your ass, I knew what he meant, and I knew he meant it! At the time I thought Dad liked songbirds, but I’m a grown man now and my Dad is dead. He didn’t give a damn about a song bird, I know that now, he wanted to make sure that I always knew what was in my sights before I pulled the trigger. In the same way God, by denying us the use of his name without cause, which he finds offensive, has demanded we be present to who we are, what we say and what we do. That we be actors in this life and not spectators. That we be true to thy own self.


Now lets develop this Idea a little, this means you are created in such a way, as to be present, anytime you’re conscience, if you choose to be. This is a very important concept here, because it brings into play the idea of the will. What is the will? The will is the conscience’s power over the body. The conscience is confirmed because it can choose contrary to the way it feels. Thus the will exists because the conscience exists. Now consider this for a moment, look at the world of mammals, or animals, no where among them do you fine one that can choose contrary to the way it feels. It’s how they work, it is what makes them work and respond to the world around it. They are hard wired. If you want to change an animal’s behavior, you change the way he feels. Yet, among human beings alone can behavior be observed contrary to the way the creature feels, and indeed, encourages their young to act contrary to the way they feel. Thus, this is the witness to the will, which in turn is wittiness to the conscience.

Now this is very basic, and very simple, but consider it for your self. Now you might say, well? All the commandments, cause you to know what you are doing, to be present, yes I agree, but! The second commandment addresses this idea at the very level of the being, the place in the mind where who and what you are manifest itself into language, where it can be spoken, are not. This is where the human being exsists, where the gray mass comes forth into language in such away it can be understood by the conscience, and the conscience of others, if spoken. This is the very core of your being, and the second commandment demands you be present, at the guard at all times. ©
