God asks you to take a Stand

Christianity is not the only way to serve the God, just my way. Our Bible states..

Jeremiah 4:22
For My people are foolish,
They have not known Me.
They are silly children,
And they have no understanding.
They are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.

Nothing in the New Testament promises that if you become a Christian you will be endowed with greater personal morality, kindness, intelligence, wisdom, lawfulness and riches. Testimony requires testing and how we overcome our failures and serve our fellows, in God's vision, determines Salvation.

Isaiah 2:3
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.

Mica 4:2
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.

Psalms 23:3
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.


^{Psalms 25:4-5
4} Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;

⁵ guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Paths...Their are many paths to serve God. But you first have to say "There is a God" .
Christianity is not the only way to serve the Lord, just my way.

SILVER and GOLD

Silver and Gold represent the pinnacle of traditional long term savings and security - the Ultimate Money. Why? Because it is the only monetary asset that isn't someone else's liability. It has a basic value as a commodity for many uses, it never spoils or deteriorates. It doesn't represent a promise to pay and it isn't dependent up the survival of a particular power or group of powers. In 1810, 30 silver ounces or 1 gold ounce*, would purchase you a Very Good Weapon or a Fine Suite Clothes. It would do the same in 1910 just as it would today in 2010. In two words, it is valuable because IT IS.

* (The traditional ratio of gold to silver)

This is my Christmas List for 2009. I've made lists every year since I was 4, even though they mostly quit working when I was 13, and aint done d!ck for me in 30 years. But I keep on trying. You would think with 5 kids one of them would hit just 1 item just out of pure luck.

It's not like they don't buy me anything , they can find some amazingly expensive "CRAP" that I have to go ouuu and ahhhh over. Things like the golf ball washer for my pull cart. The average life of a golf ball for me is about 25 strokes or 2 holes, they never, ever, have time to get dirty.

A new 1911 has been in the "Top 3" for 30 years, usually No# 1, they all ask me what I want every year and I tell them "a new 1911 Government" Dec 25 gets here. NADA

But I do have something to look forward too, when I turn 55 the youngest (12) is planning to have me committed. Because, she claims I am senile. She has done the research and it wont cost anywhere as much if she if she waits the 4 years.

So you see how it goes................

Oh Well...........

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah

Recession is Over, Welcome Back to the Depression

Bill Bonner

Nov 27, 2009

One turkey turns to the other...

"Things were pretty rough there for a while...what with the recession and all. But now there's a recovery. Business is picking up."

"Yeah, this is great...no more hanging around this place waiting...finally, the boss says we're all shipping out today..."

"I wonder what we're going to be doing..."

"I don't know...I'm going to some place called 'Butterball Birds'..."

"Hey, sounds like it might be fun...maybe it's some kind of theme park. I'm going to work for a fellow named Frank Perdue..."

As our friend Nassim Taleb says, a turkey's life is very agreeable...until the very last day. Until then, his whole life is a bull market. Everything looks good. Good food. A roof over his head. Plenty of company. Even free health care. The MPT guys would look at his history. They'd see no volatility. Every day, the turkey gains weight. Every day things get better. They'd see all reward and no risk. They'd say 'every investor should have turkeys in his portfolio.'

The chartists, too. They'd look at the turkey's life and see a line moving steadily up. 'Is this a winner or what," they'd say to each other.

And what about the economists? Well, the old-timers would be suspicious. 'There's no such thing as all upside...there's no boom without a bust,' they'd grumble. But the young fellows wouldn't listen. They'd plump for the turkeys without hesitation, confident that if anything were to go wrong, Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner would set it right lickety-split.

And now, they think the Bernanke-Geithner team has just pulled off a save. Thanks to them, the turkeys who ran Wall Street - and invested in it - have been spared. America is getting back to work.

But what kind of work?

Alas, it's the work of a DEPRESSION - de-leveraging, busting up, working out loans, defaulting on debt...going chapters 11 and 7.

Yes, dear reader, the recession is over. Welcome back to the Depression. The number crunchers reported a positive GDP growth figure for the last quarter of 3.5%. Everyone cheered. Now, the crunchers admit that they were a little too optimistic. The real number is only 2.8%. But it's still positive. So the recovery is still on...

Sort of. If you deconstruct the numbers, and pull out all the feds' hot money effects, you'll probably find that the economy is not growing at all. How could it be? It's a consumer economy. Consumers aren't consuming...

The Wall Street Journal reports that "One in four borrowers underwater."

Mortgage delinquencies at a record high, adds The New York Times.

Real joblessness is at 17.5%, reports CNBC.

Insiders are selling 17 of their own shares for every one that they buy.

"Consumers lose appetite for dining out," says The Los Angeles Times.

The National Retail Federation thinks holiday sales will be 1% lower than last year. And last year they were depressed.

But The New York Times is worried about us over here in England. "Lost decade feared for British economy," says a headline.

As we pointed out yesterday, the US economy has already suffered a lost decade. No employment growth in the last ten years. No gains in the stock market. No household income growth. As near as we can tell, the whole nation is just another decade older and deeper in debt.

But that's the way it works, isn't it? A bull market on Wall Street...or a boom in the economy...they're just like a turkey's life. It's all fine...until it ain't fine any more.

And now, we're going to let you in on the secret. You can pass this on to the White House and the Fed if you like.

How can you really get an economy out of a depression? Well, you have to get into a depression first. Then, you can get out.

The cure for a depression, in other words, is a depression. Nothing else will do. Mistakes need to be addressed and corrected. Losses need to be recognized and written off. Bad decisions need to be put right.

So, bring on the depression! Get it on. Get it over with.

Too bad the feds don't get it at all.

Health Bill is an abomination

Senator Sir
My family believes that this Health Bill is an abomination and if it passes we have agreed as a family to fight against it whatever the price to us personally.
I have just left the National Republican in January after 35years of physical and financial support. I am now registered as a Libertarian, a party that supports my personal responsibility and Conservative values, unlike the RNC which has only given me "read my lip service" since Ronald Reagan and the '94 Congress.

1970 - what liberalism use to mean

Chicago

G.Nash, 1970
Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you plaese come to Chicago
For the help we can bring
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - to get better
Politicians sit yourself down,
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago
For a ride
Don't ask Jack to help you
Cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - and if you believe in freedom
It's dying - let a man live it's own life
It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door,
Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago
Show your face
From the bottom to the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - and if you believe in freedom
It's dying - let a man live it's own life
It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
We can change the world

We have been sold out by the National Party's, the Republicans, Democrats and Green's and the idea of the United States is being murdered before our eyes. Time for you to dig down deep and become the kind of person you have always thought you could be. Then join with others of a like mind. I hope and pray that you decide to believe in freedom, because I have made up my mind and will back freedom with my blood.

Dr Pournelle on "If the attack at Ft. Hood wasTreason"

"I have been asked in mail if treason can be a solitary act. I would think so. It's of course simpler to charge Hassan with murder, but I see no reason why he ought not also be charged with treason. John Brown was hanged for treason after his raid on the Harper's Ferry arsenal, and he was not acting in concert with any other organization: he did hope to inspire others to rise in revolt and do as he did. I make no doubt that Hassan would have been pleased if he could bring about a general uprising of Muslim troops in the US armed forces. I'd call that levying war against the United States"
