No Mosque, No Mosque

A construction worker by the name of Andrew Sullivan is interviewed in Fox News and tells it like it is; there will be no union trade people working on the proposed Allah Akbar Attah Victory Memorial Mosque in Ground Zero territory.



Mr. Sullivan also mentioned a website, BlueCollarCorner.com, which states:

This show is dedicated to all those people who break their backs to provide for themselves and their families.

Without this group citizens would not be able to get to work or even have an office to work in.

More than anything these people are the ones that pay the bills that make this government run for whom without they would be no schools no hospitals no fire department or police department to protect and serve the people of this great nation.

This particular demographic has been forgotten. Only because we aren’t traditionally the rebel rousers we tend to live work hard and pray our leadership does the right thing.

Due to recent events the very principals by which our country was founded on are being either ignored or totally altered until it has become unrecognizable.

There's a lot more where this came from.Check this site out and support their efforts. Hopefully this is only the tip of the groundswell that will sweep the thieves and traitors out of Washington.

Indeed, for far too long we have remained silent while we smoldered; struggling to make ends meet while politicians take what we earn by the sweat of our brow and give it to those whom they wish to curry favor in exchange for political advantage. This cannot and must not continue, for now our very freedoms are threatened and the livelihood of our children and grandchildren are at risk.

Well done, Andrew, well done.

And The Truth ...

As we celebrate the 4th of July, please ponder for a moment how we got here.

Happy 4th of July

This just blew me away. A former Marine stuns a tea party rally in Douglas County, Georgia.
A conservative talk radio host, Herman Cain, is answering quesions from the crowd when the following patriotic, God-fearing vet speaks his mind.



God bless our armed forces- the men and women who serve our great Nation.

I believe we are in serious peril; deep, deep trouble as our heritage, our traditions and our liberties face extinction from a godless, liberal onslaught. Concerned Americans feel threatened and isolated during these times. We can say "In God we trust" until the cows come home but what does it accomplish if there are no actions behind our words? When it is perceived that we are in full retreat we must first stop running. In the Old Testament the way to begin the process of regeneration is thus:

Isaiah 11:12
And He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

That is what that that gentlemen did in Douglas County; he raised a standard, a banner for patriots to rally under. Love of country is what binds us as a nation. Without that, we are merely another loose-knit social group that will be overwhelmed and engulfed by those who do share a vigorous national identity.

Know what you stand for. There are many diverse opinions that divide us; cling to the ones that unite us. Get involved! Vote! Volunteer to become precinct captains!

And pray for our Nation. In order for God to bless America, America must return to Him as the originator of our freedoms.

Not For The Faint Hearted

Just a little while ago, a fellow blogger went through a minor crisis of confidence. It was great to see the "blog support swarm" that answered him and helped him through a rough patch of road, for it is indeed a journey we are on. We exchanged some emails which I thought were rather enlightening and I am very glad to see that he is back in top form. He feels a little foolish about this very brief episode in his life. I just want to iterate a few truths - well, I see them as truths - as to why this happens and why he should take comfort from his experience.

Because things work out whether we like it or not.

WE ALL get discouraged.

Life takes its toll on us because .... We live.
It's that simple. It's not easy. It's not pleasant. Just simple - because, sometimes, life really sucks.

How we respond is important.

How family and friends respond can be even more important.

God tested Job by allowing Satan to take from him all that he loved. In Job 2:9, while Job is lamenting the loss of his entire family and fortune, his wife has this to say to him:

"Are you still holding on to your integrity?

Curse God and die!"

Of course Job responded, "Gee, Thanks honey!"

We need each other - that's why God in His Wisdom created us as social creatures. If you want, please refer to the first chapter of His Owner's Manual, Genesis 2:18 where the Manual states that "...It is not good that the man should be alone." Or futher on in the Manual where it states in Ecclesiastes 4:10 "If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"

It's the engineering. We are hardwired if you prefer.

We are all fellow travelers trying to reach the same destination. We really can't describe where we are going, we don't even agree with all the other passengers on how to get there, but we all want the same thing. That's what freedom is. Life, liberty and the pursuit of whatever it is that keeps us sane and happy without pissing off too many other people who are seeking the same thing. That's why good fences make good neighbors.

And we see that all going to hell in a handbasket.

Don't be discouraged, don't give up. We have just joined a decades old battle and the best thing to do is stick together. If you see someone fall, stop what you're doing and help him get back on his or her feet. Dust them off. See what else you can do for them and rejoin the battle as quickly as possible.

Pray for each other - that's really important.
Pray for our Country.
