Question Of The Week, 7/20/08

Good morning, I had to put some gas in the truck this past Wednesday. I say put some gas in it because filling it up is now just a memory from the good ole days when we could get a gallon of gas for $3.00. Yes I remember it being lower than that but if you claim you can remember paying 29 cents a gallon some folks think your lying. In Saint Joseph, Missouri mid-range gas was $4.03 per gallon this past Wednesday. I've seen a couple of interesting articles on the energy crisis and drilling for oil this past week. This weeks Question Of The Week is. Do you support or oppose off shore drilling?

I'll post my answer in the Comment Section Tuesday morning.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

Who Are These Bible Thumpers?

I just read an e-mail that tells about an interesting article that has been posted at the Constitution Party's (And My) candidate for Governor of the State of Missouri. The article tells about some folks that have been labeled Bible Thumper. "When someone makes the statement “Bible Thumper“, they refer to a Bible-believing Christian in a negative way. Yet, I feel great joy in my hope that they are talking about me." (Continue Reading)

If we go out and purchase a new vehicle or appliance it comes with a booklet that we really should read before operating that new vehicle or appliance, the owner operators manual. I feel that God made an owner operators manual available to help us through our time here on earth. It contains the answer to every problem we could possibly face. That would be the Bible. Just like the manufacturer of the new vehicle or appliance God leaves using or not using the manual up to us. The manufacturer of the new vehicle or appliance tells us that we should follow the instructions in their manual to get the maximum enjoyment from the new vehicle or appliance. I feel that following the instructions God gives us in the Bible will give us the maximum enjoyment out of our time here on earth and beyond.

Is it just me or do some of our elected officials seem to be ashamed to mention the Bible or call on God for help and guidance? Maybe they feel it is a sign of weakness. The Bible tells us how God feels about us being ashamed to mention his name. We need leaders that have the courage it takes to openly call on God and ask him to lead us back up this slope we've been going down. With God's help and guidance we will have the Great Republic our Founding Fathers intended to leave us.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

Question Of The Week 7/13/08

Good morning. I'm sorry for not getting out to visit your sites as often as I should/I'd like to. This has been a busy week, family stuff mostly. I haven't even made it to my own site since I answered last weeks question. As if things weren't bad enough already, yesterday I got an e-mail from the National Alliance of Families. The subject line read "Sad News - Col. Earl Hopper". One of those knew it was coming things,that we hope and pray somehow never will. "Col. Earl P. Hopper, father of POW/MIA Earl P. Hopper Jr., passed early this morning. Earl, head of Task Force Omega Inc., and former head of the National League of Families, was a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He was an ardent advocate for our POWs and MIAs and will be sorely missed.

To his wife, Patty and the Hopper family we offer our deepest sympathy.

As soon as we here about arrangements, we will let everyone know." The Colonel was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. A three war Veteran and Father of a POW/MIA/(?) A true patriot. One of our Grand-Daughters wears a POW/MIA bracelet with his Son's name on it. I got to hear the Colonel speak several times over the years. One time he said every where he went people ask him what kept him going. They told him he should just give up, it had been to long, all of our POW/MIA's were dead by now. I won't give you his answer until I post my answer to this weeks Question Of The Week which is In Memory Of Colonel Earl Hopper U.S.M.C. (Ret.). Why are you politically active (Why do you post messages or contact your elected officials about issues that are important to you)?

I'll post my answer in the Comment Section Tuesday morning.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

Question Of The Week, 7/6/08

Good morning. I kind of got the feeling that the media is still celebrating Independence Day. I couldn't find anything that I was satisfied with to use for this weeks question. So this week it will be something that just popped into my head and brought back a memory. I feel safe in saying that all of the political parties have web sites where we can find information about each party, including the party's platform. All of the candidates have their own web sites with information on where each of them stand on important issues. This weeks Question Of The Week is. Does the majority of voters put these tools to use or do they feel they can get all the information they need from their local paper and the nightly news?

I'll post my answer in the Comment Section Tuesday morning.

Constitution Party of Missouri Regains Ballot Access for 2008 !

I got busy helping get things ready for our Independence Day guest/cook out and didn't post a message about a press release that was e-mailed to my Wife and I on July 3, 2008. (Continue Reading) Add that list of candidates to the Constitution Party's' candidates for President and Vice President (Continue Reading) and the party's platform (Continue Reading) and Missourians will truly have an opportunity to vote for change. This news couldn't have come at a much better time. Independence Day weekend and Missourians are free from the so called two party system.

Will The Real Mr. Obama Please Stand Up

In the last couple of days I've read a couple of articles that reminded me of an old television game show and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the program. If I remember right three or four contestants were supposed to try to stump the panel. The panel was supposed to figure out which contestant was the one they heard a little bit about at the beginning of the program. After the panel finished their questioning and cast their vote the show host said will the real Mr. or Mrs. (John Q. Public?) please stand up. I have heard that, "Many activists are outraged by the Senator's recent announcement that he will back a controversial bill to grant the Executive more spying powers and immunize telephone companies accused of illegal surveillance." (Continue Reading) They should be "outraged" many of them have sent checks to support the Obama campaign.Obama seems to have changed his position on an issue that is important to them as it should be. Maybe he didn't change his position, he might have refined his policy. (Continue Reading) Is it just me or is it becoming more difficult to keep track of where Obama stands on some issues? I am not now and never have been an Obama supporter. I'm thinking that someone in his camp needs to ask, the real Mr. Obama to please stand up.

Before closing I want to wish you a Safe and Happy Independence Day 2008.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
