Why I love the Rich Guy

Right this very minute, I am poor as church mice. And I want to speak about why I love the rich guy, and why I want the government to leave the rich guy the hell alone.

I’ve done a lot of things in my life, had a lot of jobs and only once did a poor man give me a job, and the check bounced. So I don’t work for poor people any more.

I’ve worked for large companies with lots of benefits and I’ve worked for the guy building a dream. I’ll take the guy building a dream anytime.

I worked for this fellow once, over in Alabama, he had six-hundred acres on Styx River, and his dream was a nice suburban neighborhood with all the property water-front.

He went out and bought a tractor, a big bull-dozer and a little bull-dozer, and track-hoe, an earth-mover (scraper), a grader, a roller, a front end loader, a dump-truck and a fire-truck. He bought all this at an auction, it was all used, and he got it cheap.

He hired a retired engineer, me and a mechanic. And starting from a bench mark on the state bridge crossing the river, we worked our way onto the property and eighteen months later we had cleared two-hundred acres of overgrowth, built three dammed lakes and one dug (excavated)  lake, laid, ditched and paved three miles of road, including mining the road building dirt, and back-filling the pits. He even grew his own hay, and you’d be amazed at how much hay a job like that takes.

Three of us, and the boss. When the job was finished, I stood amazed at what we had accomplished, how much earth had been moved as we shaped the landscape into a neighborhood. Three of us and the boss.

Now I bet you think I’m talking about the boss being the rich man, you’d be wrong. The rich man was the fellow who bought all of that equipment new. Whatever it was he did with all that equipment, he was done with it now, and it went up for sale at a price the fellow I was working for, the fellow with a dream, could afford.  Giving me a job, and the privilege of being part of a dream.

The rich man is different today than in the time of King Herod. Today in America, the better the rich do, the better we all do.  He isn’t greedy, he is extravagant and we all benefit from it.

When the rich man is flush with money, he gets his car washed, he get’s his grass mowed, his house painted. And he also has to have a new car, a new TV, a new computer, new furniture, new stove, new ice-box and on and on.

Because he has to have the latest and greatest, he pays the very high price placed on an item when it is new to the market, ie…the flat screen TV. Thus supplying the money for research, development and production while creating a market, his lust for what is new, makes what is new, possible.

If you shop smart, all the stuff displaced by what the rich has to have, goes onto the market somewhere. Starting with the yard-sale, flea-markets, antique markets, collectible shops, Paula’s Cheaper Choices… so on and so forth…

I have driven nice cars my entire life, but never a new one, I let the rich buy it, drive it, work the bugs out of it, then when he’s tired of it, I buy it, and enjoy it the same as he.

In 1976 I bought a ten year old Lincoln Continental for seven-hundred dollars. It was a Lincoln Continental, it was a beautiful automobile; it rode like a cloud, quiet as a mouse, fast as the wind. It was the fastest car I ever owned, I drove this automobile for ten years; it was the change in the gasoline which brought an end to it. A beautiful automobile, truly an Art Form, a master piece of American engineering, and I paid seven-hundred dollars for it because some rich guy had to have it, and paid the 8,000 dollar sticker price of 1966.

You want a good set of pots and pans, can’t afford them, go to the flea-market, you’ll find them. Whatever you want, a rich guy just got a new one, and what he no longer needs or wants goes into the market-place somewhere.  

So not only does the rich man build dreams and create jobs, he enjoys life; let us enjoy it right along with him. Serve him, and inherit his spill-over.

This is part of what makes America so bountiful, so wonderful, because the market place is busting at the seams, and prices low, when the rich man is doing well.

Let us leave him to his work, and let us help him work.  And tell the Government to butt the hell out. ©

Self defense in the United Kingdom

You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door.

Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers.

At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your

bed and pick up your shotgun.

You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.

In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

One holds something that looks like a crowbar.

When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you

raise the shotgun and fire.

The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.

One writhes and screams while the second man crawls

to the front door and lurches outside.

As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you're in trouble.

In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and

the few that are privately owned are so

stringently regulated as to make them useless..

Yours was never registered.

Police arrive and inform you that the second burglar has died.

They arrest you for First Degree Murder and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

When you talk to your attorney, he tells you not to worry: authorities

will probably plea the case down to manslaughter.

"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.

"Only ten-to-twelve years," he replies, as if that's nothing.

"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."

The next day, the shooting is the lead story in the local newspaper.

Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric vigilante while the two

men you shot are represented as choirboys.

Their friends and relatives can't find an unkind word to say about them..

Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both

"victims" have been arrested numerous times.

But the next day's headline says it all:

"Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die."

The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into

Robin Hood-type pranksters..

As the days wear on, the story takes wings.

The national media picks it up, then the international media.

The surviving burglar has become a folk hero.

Your attorney says the thief is preparing to sue you, and he'll probably win.

The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized

several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for

their lack of effort in apprehending the suspects.

After the last break-in, you told your neighbor that you would be prepared next time.

The District Attorney uses this to allege that you were lying in wait for the burglars.

A few months later, you go to trial.

The charges haven't been reduced, as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.

When you take the stand, your anger at the injustice of it all works against you..

Prosecutors paint a picture of you as a mean, vengeful man.

It doesn't take long for the jury to convict you of all charges.

The judge sentences you to life in prison.

This case really happened.

On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk, England, killed

one burglar and wounded a second.

In April, 2000, he was convicted and is now serving a life term..

How did it become a crime to defend one's own life in the once great British Empire?

It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.

This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and

established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license.

The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only

handguns but all firearms except shotguns..

Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by

private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.

Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass

shooting in 1987.Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov

rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.

When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.

The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded

even tougher restrictions. (The seizure of all privately owned handguns

was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years later, at Dunblane, Scotland, Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic

weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.

For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable,

or worse, criminals. Now the press had a real kook with which

to beat up law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week after week, the media

gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns.

The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few side arms

still owned by private citizens.

During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun

rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen

as vigilantism. Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened,

claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun.

Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.

Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying,

"We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."

All of Martin's neighbors had been robbed numerous times, and several

elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who

had no fear of the consequences. Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had

seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars.

When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns

were given three months to turn them over to local authorities.

Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law. The few who

didn't were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences

if they didn't comply.

Police later bragged that they'd taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.

How did the authorities know who had handguns?

The guns had been registered and licensed.

Kind of like cars. Sound familiar?

WAKE UP AMERICA;

THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND

AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

If you think this is important, please forward to everyone you know.

You had better wake up, because the government is doing this very same

thing, over here, if he can get it done .

And there are stupid people in congress and on the street

that will go right along with it

Fair = Envy The New Normal

Now understand, everything I write, I write with a Christian heart, but we are at war, and sometimes it may not seem that way.

First I want to talk about Love. Love is not a feeling, Period. It is a way of life, it is in what we do and say. That doesn’t mean we are always nice people, it means we uphold the precepts of Our Lord. Let’s not forget, Christ called the teachers of the day ‘Vipers’. Why, because they were teaching others to their own benefit. The only profession he criticized was Lawyers, because they wrote the law to their own design, instead of a reflection of God.

By calling the Pharisees ‘vipers’ you might say Christ was calling a spade a spade. Should we not do the same?

The entire Democratic philosophy (communism) is rooted in the sin of envy. To want everyone to be the same because its fair, is envy disguised as fairness. That simple. Now I know the pundits go on and on with lots of fancy talk, but the laws put forth by Our Lord are easy to understand. If you haven’t read the gospels lately, do so.

Thou Shall not steal. Pretty basic, you can’t just take what belongs to another. If you think about this for one moment, there is a direct default. If you can not steal what belongs to another, then without question, you have the right to possess. And if you aren’t willing to defend it; then do you really possess it. Therefore what we call capitalism is no more than Thou Shall not steal.

The Founding Father’s understood this, and this is why private property rights were so important to them. This idea assures there will be a wide variety of people doing a wide variety of things for the good of all. Much like nature, there are no two snowflakes alike, nor two flowers. Why in the world would we want to go against such wisdom? For doesn’t man like to say, and rightly so, ‘Variety is the spice of life.’

They will try and say, the love of money is at the root of all evil. This is true, Christ did say this, but examine this statement closely. He did not say money was evil, an object cannot be evil. Not possible. Sin is personal. The love of money is at the root of all evil. In another word, Envy.

Now if you have read my blog on money;

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/06/money.html

Then you understand that it takes time and effort to generate wealth, and money is a way of trading your time and efforts for the time and efforts of another. Money represents your time and effort, so any money given to those who would destroy you, is no different than you destroying yourself. And by the same token, would not God see it that way? That your efforts are to evil, by default, after all, it is your time and effort, the money a simple a marker.

Do you know the history of the Soviets, of The Third Reich, Cuba. You can save it, you can hide it, that way it will be available when they come and take it. You can appease the beast, that way he eats you last, but be assured, he will eat you. If you do not know these histories, then study them NOW.

So I say to you, put your money to use fighting the beast, do good with it now, and with a victory, it may be restored to you, simply because that’s the nature of capitalism. But if you try and preserve it, well??? You know what the gospels say.

Our enemy grows bold, because we are timid. Why I ask are we timid? Do we not profess Our Lord Jesus Christ, do not the Jews profess his Father, again I ask, why are we timid? If you have read my blog on the First Commandment;

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-commandment.html

Then you realize we are granted the authority to hold the envious accountable, and indeed are expected to.

It’s time to be offended and insulted and loudly, in number, not in our own defense, but as witness to Our Lord, and in defense of our wives and our children.

As to you lawyers who claim to be conservative, find an Obama supporter who now regrets it, and sue the hell out of the networks and papers who misinformed them, for was not damage done? Was there money not lost, because of this neglect? And do it pro bono. Do it, because it needs to be done. The people hold the press accountable, not the government.

We have to do these things, for the chains of our slavery or now being forged. © God Bless you all.

Battle with the Fox (Phase I) The Media

We are in the Bier, by being who we are, ‘Pachyderms,’ we have mounted a resistant's to The Communist war brought against us. Now, we have our fight, how are we going to fight it?

Remember, the Rabbit quit the struggle, used his reason, took who the Fox and bear were and used it against them against. That’s what we’re going to do.

(IF you’re lost, refer to this link).

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-are-we-going-to-do.html

The Darling of the wrong (left), is Hollywood. The jewel of the crown. I am fed up with them, they have no class, no scruples, no morals and no respect for us their consumer, nor for themselves. And they fund our enemy.

People…. It’s 1984, read the bloody book. Have you read ‘Animal Farm?’ Read it! I mean it, you’re at war, prepare yourselves. ”we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.” So arm yourselves. Turn off the TV and read these books!

Which bring us to the battle, turn off the TV. And when you do watch it, watch only what is acceptable. I want you to search your Christian values, and watch only what is acceptable. You’ll find not very much, turn it off. They know how many people watch, and if you quit watching, the money dries up. Quit going to movies, unless you know who the producers are, and who’s side they’re on? Quit feeding the beast. If you quit feeding the beast, he grows smaller.

But we all have to do it, on our scared honor. This is key, those men of the revolution, were honorable, and put that honor on the line, and did what was necessary to win the war, and did so without being told and watched.

Now you take that time you sat in front of the TV, and go out and meet each other face to face. Get to know each other. For in a war, solders know that guy next to them, hell he’s your brother, and your life may very well depend on him. Get the picture? Get to know each other, form committees to deal with various issues. If they already exist, join them.

The wrong (left) is always in our face, preventing things from happening. They are a real pain in the ass. So… we use who they are against them, fight fire with fire. We become a pain in their ass.

For instance, we’re dealing with the media. Bring it down to local level. You have a local TV station, and the News is a bit tilted. Or they stick their nose where it doesn’t belong?

I ran across this story, it was being flashed like it was a big deal.

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-league-coach-fight-in.html

The news should not have covered it, but they did, and the story was about violence. Crap… Did the Umpire have it coming? That’s the story. There was no news in this story. It just painted violence. If this sort of thing happens in your town, get your committee and go down there and demand to know ‘Did the Umpire have it coming?’ Don’t tell them how to do their job, just demand the story, in person, in number.

If a story is slanted, and you know it, go down there and call them on it. Tell them what’s right, and tell them to do what’s right. And if they don’t, turn them off. Make a show of your indignation. Be insulted! And tell them you’re insulted. Demand the story, and the whole story. Whole them accountable.

We all know about freedom of the press, the government can’t interfere with the press. That’s it. They can’t, by law. But we can, by default it is our responsibility to hold the press accountable. The people hold the press accountable, not the government.

We have to stop ignoring this responsibility, and do our job, and insist they do theirs.

If your local paper is crap, quit taking it. Better yet, buy the paper, print the truth and you’ll do a business.

A void will appear, and this is where you rich guys come in, produce some decent TV, make a movie. Make a documentary; compete in the market place of ideas. Make a sitcom showing the fallacies of wrong thinking. The talent is out there, but Hollywood’s not going to have them, because they lean right, so let us put them to work. There are hundreds of unused channels on cable, get yourself a channel.

You have a clever saying, something you think people should hear. A billboard in time square brings $7000.00. On I-45 two miles from the causeway going into Galveston is about $1800.00. Which means if you’re not in a prime spot, they are cheap. Get your words out there, your ideas. Don’t wait on the Tea Party, don’t wait on the Republicans, do it. Churches do it all the time.

Turn off the TV and go bear hunting,

http://thebiggalootfrom.blogspot.com/2012/07/battle-with-bear.html

Actively go find and recruit some bears. Be active in Little League Baseball and work to return the rules and bring back the competition. Be active in the Boy Scouts, and learn some life skills. Spend a little time getting back to the earth with the kids, and learn what it’s about.

To put it simply, quit feeding the beast and compete in the market place, and make a show in the media by Voting, Election Day. Something isn’t right in your community? Get together and go down there and straighten them out.

Let me tell you what the wrong (left) is doing. They are keeping us barking, as long as we’re barking, they do what they want.

We watch them on TV and think, ‘What Fools,’ and we give them a good cussing from our couch. You bark. You get on Twitter or Face Book, and you engage and argue, and put up a good fight. You’re barking. You write a good column for the paper, and you rip them good, you’re barking. Barking dogs don’t bite, and the wrong knows it. That's why they have these protest and do outlandish things, to keep you barking. We have to quit barking, put some feet on the ground and show up where we need to, and bite them. Remember they are bullies, and bullies are cowards. You start biting, and they’ll turn tail and run.

I want all you people on Face Book, Twitter other social networks, quit barking, you’re barking at the devil, it’s what he wants. Instead, ostracize them, cut them off, block them. When a dog quits barking, watch out, that means trouble. And if we are going to win this war, we mean trouble.

Instead, talk to one another, and make plains to put feet on the ground, make a showing and be a pain in the jackass.©

God Bless you all.

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? ©
