The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
THERE WILL BE NO THREATS OF ANY KIND AT THIS BLOG, TO POLITICIANS OR OTHER COMMENTERS. thank you.
I am not a violent person at all, but I’d love to see tons of conservatives for once marching ‘en masse’…showing we can be in the thousands, too. Of course, we remember the mess liberals leave behind (remember the Wall St protests?) and we remember a cop saying “the Tea Party leave the place cleaner than they found it.”

GeeeZ .... 
Yeah, I really don’t believe that most of the protestors are doin themselves any good. I’ve written half a dozen or so rants on the general topic, focusing mostly on the ignorance and false premises upon which much of the rancor and malevolence are based — such as the “Hands-Up! Don’t-Shoot!” myth and that the percentage of LGBT in this nation is well under 10%, probably even lower than 5, but by what we see on our telembizyons you’d think it’s closer to 40 or 50.
Anyway, rather than bore y’all with a word-rich but murky essay, lemme just tell ya what my grandmother often said concerning sores and scabs, equally fitting to protestors and picketers:
“If you pick it, it’ll never heal.”

I don’t think Conservatives need do anything similar. I’m of the firm belief that nobody is swayed by these petulant theatrics, that isn’t already solidly in the camp of those protesting.

Mustang & CI – protests are one thing. Protesters obtain a permit, assemble, march down the street shouting their grievances, waving their banners… peacefully making their displeasure known for all to see. Then disperse and go about their lives.
Violent riots are another thing entirely. These thugs are assaulting police, destroying property, breaking windows and infringing on the rights of others to freely come and go as they like. They block streets and sidewalks, making it impossible to get in and out of buildings or drive on the roads. They disturb the peace with megaphones spewing their tripe, they befoul the environment with human waste and litter. They set fires; vehicles & trash in metal bins, etc., and create putrid smelling smoke, making it hard to breathe and stinking up the area.
You know…. these are not their communities, these are not their homes… they don’t belong & live in these cities, they’re not paying taxes and contributing to society…. what right do they have to go anywhere and wreak havoc like this? No right at all!
This is not protesting…. that is anarchy. It’s dangerous and unlawful. It should not be allowed and those funding the violent protests should be charged with the crimes their hired thugs commit.
Dammit, we have a right to be free and safe. We have a right to have our property and the communities we paid for and built respected. We are under NO obligation to submit to these threats, violence and destruction.

“The only time you quit while you’re winning is after you’ve won it all”
Two comments on that:
When I was young and immortal, I really liked to play draw poker. Got fairly good at it and won more than I lost over the years. One rainy weekend in Naples in 1979 we had a non-stop game in the wardroom and I wound up around $1700 richer than when I started. Flew home for Christmas and had a great time.
But riding the liberty boat back out to the ship after my leave was up, an odd thought struck me, like a disembodied voice speaking to me thru the flaps of my foul-weather gear: “Y’know . . . one of these days you’re gonna lose.” Now, being a realist, I understood that I wasn’t a great poker player, just a fairly good one. So I quit while I was ahead. Haven’t played since.
And then when I retired in 1984, I flew from Hawaii to Long Beach to get my car which I’d shipped earlier. Driving out of the impound lot, I heard a powerful voice in my head saying, “The next time you fly in an airplane, you will die.”
Hey, I’d flown across the Pacific several times, once in a DC-3, flown in log helos to and from ships in ‘Nam, flown CODs to and from carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin, flew over Kilauea in a Marine chopper to watch the lava curtains, across the continental US I can’t remember how many times.
Irrational fear, I know. But once again . . . I quit while I was ahead.
Same with mate selection. Got it right the first time back in ’61 . . . quit while I was ahead.
