Girls Now Joining Boy Scouts?

As a Star Scout myself, I'm infuriated that the left has been successful in once again destroying things that work, as Charlie Kirk of Turning Point says.

Looking back on those days as a scout in my developing years, I now realize just how significant of an experience it was in forming my character and worldview. 

I can't imagine what it will be like for current scouts to have the intrusion of girls in their midst. And I'm a father of two daughters who provided them with opportunities to engage in what they wanted to do while growing up.

Laura Ingraham's nightly show, The Ingraham Angle, had Charlie Kirk, an Eagle Scout, on her show just yesterday to talk to the fact that girls are now joining the ranks of the Boy Scouts and was asking him why he feels this is not a good thing for the future of American culture.

I urge my readers to watch this segment, even if they've already watched it live when it aired, and think carefully about what's being done to an organization which is over 100 years old and has generated many great leaders during that time.

The Typical Double Standard of the Leftists

In 2012 the people of Washington state passed an initiative to allow charter schools to operate as an alternative to public schools. It was a narrow victory for those parents seeking an option to what their children were dealing with attending public schools where their child was either bullied or weren't challenged enough, or both.

The state teacher's union, theWEA, fought this tooth and nail. But, like the liberal leftists they are, the persisted in attempting to block charter schools from operating even after losing the initiative battle, clearly sending the message to the parents that they didn't respect the will of the people because liberal leftists know they're right and everyone else is just too stupid to understand what's best for them.

With the State Supreme Court in the WEA's pocket politically, the court declared charter schools unconstitutional for the state at the last minute before the charter schools which had been approved through an arduous process were about to open in September of 2014.

Now, the State's Supreme Court is rehearing the issue, but the "fix is in" as is typical for leftists. ShiftWA today has reported how the WEA is once again playing the double-standard in their favor regarding this new hearing for charter schools:

After state Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu delivered a speech to the charter school-hating WEA, some charter school parents are wondering if they can expect a fair ruling in the charter school case. Yu’s speech on Saturday to the state teachers union (WEA), which also donated to Yu’s campaign, comes as the court prepares to hear a case brought by the union against the state’s charter schools. Many suggest Yu’s appearance shows a clear bias in favor of the union. (Tacoma News Tribune)

When it comes to claiming the WEA cares about children in this state getting a quality education, they fail to clarify their point by admitting that it actually means only if they get to control who gets to dictate the curriculum and collection of union dues to remain in control of legislative lobbying in Olympia. I call that a monopoly... they call it "fair".

Taking Back America One Day At A Time

In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer.

In 1988 President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each year as The National Day of Prayer.

In June 2007, then Presidential Candidate Barack Obama blatantly declared that the USA "...was no longer a Christian nation!" [While one word does slightly change the meaning of his statement, it nevertheless doesn't change what is happening to Christian persecution today by liberals. Anyone who's been paying attention to the news knows this all too well.]

In May 2009 President Obama dismissed our 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of "...not wanting to offend anyone..."

Sept. 25, 2009, a Muslim Prayer Day was held on the West front of the U.S. Capitol Building, the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981.. There were over 50,000 Muslims in D.C. that day President Obama dismissed our National Day of Prayer and now it's okay for an event at our capitol for Islamists?  I for one was offended. But wait, it didn’t stop!!!

February 17-19, 2015, a Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism,” but, oddly, no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press. Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, MN, recited a “verse from the Quran” following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democrat members of Congress.

Former President Obama boldly encouraged schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, we’re forbidden  even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag.

The direction this country was headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian.

How refreshing and beautiful our wonderful First Lady Melania Trump was in Melbourne, Florida on February 18, 2017. Instead of the normal “pumping up” of the crowd, Melania chose to initiate the rally with the Lord’s Prayer. It sounded more like the start of a football game after the National Anthem rather than what we would expect to hear after a prayer.

Make a “joyful noise unto the LORD thy GOD!” The “sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity” of Madeline Murray O’Hair and ACLU efforts in 1962, "School Prayer was removed from the U.S. public education system by slowly and insidiously corrupting the meaning of the First Amendment through a number of court cases over several court cases should be confronted and reversed.

With Trump as President, we might be able to get this passed. Let's send it across the country.

SOME STATES (Maryland, Michigan & Arizona) ARE INEXPLICABLY ALLOWING MUSLIM STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS!!!!

IF THAT'S OKAY, THEN WE MUST DEMAND THAT OUR FLAGS BE RETURNED TO OUR CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY AS WELL!  IT'S PAST TIME FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO BOLDLY SPEAK UP & DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.

When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million, willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help.

Become one of the proud One hundred million. Then let's get 200 million. It can be done just by sending this email to your friends.

Do the math. It only takes a single willing heart and a fed-up SOUL. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her!

Further Clarification on the Disintegration of America

Much of the public is too busy earning an income and raising their family - or, if they don't have one, having fun with their friends, or cavorting around the globe - and don't really pay much attention to what's coming down the road, or, in this case... the tracks.

Thanks to the Obama administration's eight years, he was correct when B. Hussain O. said to a large cheering crowd on October 31, 2007, "We are five days away from fundament-ally transforming the United States of America!"

America has changed, but not for the better. It is rapidly turning into a modified form of McCarthyism.

A person can be alleged to have been a spy for a foreign power, based on intelligence - which requires no verification because it's secret information - and thus there's no evidence  to support such an allegation, and have his character and life ruined in the media because it serves the leftist's agenda of hopefully correcting what the leftists thought was going to happen in the 2016 election, but didn't; Hillary Clinton getting elected to the presidency. 

So, now they've pursued their style of McCarthyism against Trump and his vague and of no significance during his campaign and early presidency to try getting him impeached.

Victor Davis Hansen has written an article much more eloquently than I could, and claims there is a legal and constitutional "train wreck", or day of reckoning, come soon. 

To add to this insanity, four Republican Congressmen have voted for a bill which will protect Robert Mueller from being fired by the President! Another example of how the President's powers are being stripped from him. Did they try anything like this on B. Hussein O. when he was President?

I urge you to read it to better understand why I assert that Obama's administration during his two terms was successful in disintegrating, or deteriorating, the basis upon which this country was made great.

Guns In Schools - The Debate Rages On

 I've addressed this issue in a few of my previous posts here, but this debate seems to have taken on a life of its own.

Background: As a retired teacher in public schools for 30 years, I have what liberals would consider a very odd view on this issue. In my late 20s after only being in the profession a short time, I started out getting involved in the teacher's union since my state has a law which requires new entries into any public school to become a dues paying union member. (Please, be patient, I will get to the guns in a bit.)

This irritated me, so, I felt I should at least be involved at the local level so I could better understand what the union was doing for me in exchange for taking monthly dues from my income.

In the second year of my involvement I decided to attend the NEA's national convention in Minneapolis, MN as an alternate delegate from my state. I went with the expectation that I would be spending time learning how I could be a better instructor; improve my teaching skills. 

Yet, for one day's morning time on the floor of the convention with delegates from all states and territories, the discussion was on what should be in a letter to then Pres. Reagan chastising him for funding the Contras in Nicaragua. 

It was at this point that I knew what the purpose of the teacher's union was; exercise political clout.

My next revelation as to their political agenda was when the sign at the entrance to my elementary school's parking lot from the main road at the front was posted. It read, "Gun Free Zone".

Having recently lost my brother to a gang member with a gun, I understood all too well just how vulnerable this sign made me feel. 

I was a defenseless individual who had a concealed carry permit - that's right, I'm a law abiding, second amendment rights citizen exercising his ability unlike the individual who killed my brother - and knew how to use it, but I couldn't, or I risked being fired immediately for defending myself and my students.

So, after so many events of school mass shooting over the course of the rest of my career, I had to just pray that nothing ever happened in my school.

Now, after being retired for several years, the Parkland, FL incident has brought the issue to the front burner in the social media arena and we see articles popping up here and there almost every day. Here are only a couple of examples.

Our state governor has now gone as far as saying, "We are not going to have second graders packing on the hip at school." or something close to this, as if to make jest that such a proposal was being made. And the reason why is, the WEA and the NEA are going to fight this sensible measure to stop mass killings where everyone's like fish in a barrel, with every ounce of fight they've got in them!

Honestly, I doubt I'll see any serious legislation by Congress on this topic before I die. And that's why, sadly, more young students will die needlessly.

Bottom Up, Top Down, Inside Out

That phrase is what revolutionaries understand as the way in which they are working their social manipulation through the media for the purpose of steadily, but persistently, shift the attitude of youth to believe that being a social justice warrior is "cool" and "virtuous".

Here's what I'm talking about. Watch this four minute video from MRCTV and think about it. I don't believe I need to say anything further about it since any sane individual who watches it will understand instinctively what's happening here.

What Our Leaders in D.C. Are Ignoring About Gun Control

There have been millions of people Killed because they were unable to protect themselves.  

Why Grandpa Carries A Gun

The quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun.Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to, "A Little Gun History," about half way down . . . staggering numbers!

Why Carry a Gun?

My old Grandpa said to me, "Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps, and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin'."

I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.

I don't carry a gun because I hate government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because, unarmed and facing an armed thug, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves because police do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'!


"A LITTLE GUN HISTORY"

PLEASE DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO !!!!!!

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians discussing disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we can easily become 'subjects'.

During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed force in the World!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.

The sword is more important than the shield and skill is most important.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS EASY TARGETS.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by many of our most illustrious, delusional leaders in Washington.

This should go for Grandmas as well.
