Some thoughts from the week

Okay so this is the stuff that has WTF’d me this week

15 year old gurlie here want’s a job, before she can apply for one, she must get a “permission slip” from school. WTF, why does she need the schools permission to go out on her own and get a job, who is the socialist bastard who thought up this. WHY, does the school have to give their permission….. obviously, because they get more federal $$$$$ for “helping” a child enter the work force…. wow, gee whiz, doesn’t that make me feel all warm and fuzzy….

So we were at the store today, we bought some milk. WTF? And then I noticed, why is the milk they take the most fat out of the cheapest, almost $.60 cheaper than the whole milk. Now I ain’t no rocket scientist but it seems to me the more you process something the more it should cost… not the reverse. Probably some hidden fat tax the gooberment has on milk. If anyone can explain to me why milk they process all the fat out of has a reason to be that much less than regular whole milk…. please let me know

I have to go and pay almost $175 dollars to renew my drivers license this year, because I have a Hazmat endorsement on my CDL. This makes us all safer because of course people that want to do us harm would follow these laws wouldn’t they. They would never just steal or rent a truck and park it next to a Federal building now would they… (people in OK ignore that part, you know better). I feel safer now don’t you, knowing that all that extra revenue is going to make me safe… warm and fuzzy, now I’m smoking steamed.

My last part, I’m sure is going to annoy a lot of people, being a registered and loyal Constitution Party Member, yes I actually wrote in Chuck Baldwin since ballot access is something held so esteemed here in PA. But Ralphie Nader was on the damned thing. I think the duct tape around my head is going to hold but it’s getting stressed, time to add a few more wraps.

Okay Last Rant. So I’m gonna make it a good one. but first a question. Since Smoking is illegal in a Federal Building.

If Obama smokes in the White House can we have him arrested. Yes, I know Bill Clinton had cigars, but he didn’t inhale.

“Listen to the howl of our spiritual brother, the wolf, for how it goes with him, so it goes for the natural world.”
–Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders
If we watch nature, we can tell a lot about what is going on in the world. The animals and the plants are great teachers. Some time ago, crops were sprayed with a poison to kill the insects. Other animals ate the insects. The small animals were eaten by the Eagles and the Wolves. We live in an interconnected system. What we do to one, we do to all. If our spiritual brothers are living in balance, chances are we humans are also living in balance.

Great Spirit, let me listen to my Earth teachers, the plants and the animals.

Had a dream the other night, was kinda weird, I was a US Marshal or something and was chasing Morgan Freeman and found him living in a shelter by a villiage amde for a pack of wolves to live in during the winter. Weird dream. I have always loved wolves, them and crows.

I don’t really know what to write. Yeah, a loss for words I have. Guess I’ll just ramble a bit or so.

Friday was the youngest kidlets birthday, he’s 13 now. A official teenager, which means he’s a official PITA as well. Unfortunatly he’s grounded for being a butthead this past week. His one friend wasn’t home today so it was just us for his cake and ice cream tonight. His mom bought him Guitar Hero World something or other, it makes noise.

Watched Ghost Hunters on Wedensday night, one of the few times I’ve ever watched it. I think I only did because it was pretty much based in my home town in NH. They were at Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse which is right next to a old Revolutionary war fort, that was even used to protect the Harbor enterance during WW2. During WW2 they built a addition to the fort (as well as a few others) that had the profile of a ship to make it look to submarines as the harbor was protected by ships instead of land based forts.

Work has been pretty boring, which is actually kinda good. Excitement and trucks just don’t go well together. The roads haven’t been real bad yet. Just got home this morning from a trip to three army bases in Virginia that I was at Friday.

Have been listening to more music while at work rather than talk radio, I’ve kinda been avoiding the political talk radio. Luckily I have a bunch of other stuff I can fill the time with, Like Martha Stewart and Dr. Laura as well as a trucking channel, even though I avoid that like the plaugue usually. If it wasn’t for Rollye James and Coast to Coast AM I don’t know what I’d do for radio anymore. G Gordon Liddy is about the only ‘political’ talk radio I’ll listen to anymore.

I love this song by Garth Brooks, always reminds me of Christina, a very close friend back in the early 80’s when I was living in Belle Chasse, LA while in the military, no I’ve never tried to get back in touch with her, The last time I saw her was in September of 1983. But yeah, I still remember.

Last time I saw her it was turnin’ colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder
But where she’s now I don’t know

But there’s somethin’ ’bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back makes me wonder
What she’s doin’ now

Just for laughs I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone sat there and wondered
If she’d ever done the same

I took a walk in the evenin’ wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinkin’
What she doin’ now

Cause what she’s doin’ now is tearin’ me apart
Fillin’ up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows

Peace,

I am Appalled

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Things would go well for us if we would think positively about everything.”
–Mary Hayes, CLAOQUOT
Each of our thoughts are like individual seeds. These thoughts will plant our life garden. Whatever our thoughts, they grow in our gardens. Each day we will process about 50,000 thoughts or thought seeds. Positive thoughts will produce positive results. Have you ever been aware of what you are thinking about during the day? Of the possible 50,000 thoughts in one day-if the positive thoughts were flowers and the negative thoughts were weeds-how would your garden look at the end of the day?

Great Spirit, let me plant positive seeds.

I was looking for some new “motivational” type posters for my screensaver last night and found this one.  After hearing on the news of a Wal-Mart “seasonal” employee being trampled to death.  I think every one of these people, this “rabble” should have all been tossed in jail for murder.  I am appalled by these peoples actions, the gene pool in Valley Stream, NY needs some cleansing.  And we wonder why Islamic Fundamentalists hate us.  We are no better than they are.

Today here was freaky…. Lightning, Thunder, rain, snow, hail….. all at the same time,  then 20 minutes later the sun was out…. But I guess it’s better to be here in PA rather than GA and SC tonight.

This is a good song, some of you old people might remember it.

Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we’d all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we’d all been ready,
There’s no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you’ve been left behind.

A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he’s gone,
I wish we’d all be ready,
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one’s left standing still,
I wish we’d all been ready,
There’s no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you’ve been left behind.

Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we’d all been ready,
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we’d all been ready,
There’s no time to change your mind,
How could you have been so blind,
The Father spoke, the demons dined,
The Son has come and you’ve been left behind.

-Larry Norman

Got Guns

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“It’s the most precious thing…to know absolutely where you belong. There’s a whole emotional wrapping-around-of-you here. You see the same rock, tree, road, clouds, sun — you develop a nice kind of intimacy with the world around you. To be intimate is to grow, to learn…[it] is absolutely fulfilling. Intimacy, that’s my magic word for why I live here.”
–Tessie Maranjo, SANTA CLARA PUEBLO
Every human being, to be mentally healthy, must have the feeling of belonging. When we have a sense of belonging we can be intimate. We can feel. We can connect. If we cannot develop this feeling of belonging, then we will feel lost of disconnected. To be disconnected from life is like walking around during the day not knowing the Sun exists. To have the feelings of intimacy is warm, glowy, joyful, loving and connected. The feeling this Elder is talking about is available to everyone.

Great Spirit, let me be intimate.

So how did you spend you Saturday?  I went to Jonestown F&G Shoot with PAFOA of which I’m a member.  I went with a group of guys to shoot guns….. big guns, and a cannon.  It was a blast.  I’m only posting two pictures but you can go to the my Photobucket link and see more.

The Machine Guns in my photobucket pictures are “real” machine guns owned by legally licensed collectors and yes, they do work.  Is it legal to won these guns the answer here.

Now that is a nice rack….. of firepower.  I wish I could own a few of these.

 

This next picture is a 1/2 inch thick piece of steel plate shot at 100 yards with a .50 caliber bolt action rifle, with a quarter placed next to them to show a comparison.  I did get to shoot this gun, it’s the one with the bullet next to it in the photobucket pictures

So How did you spend your Saturday……. we had a blast.  Hope everyone has a great weekend

Peace, through superior firepower

Happy Turkey Day

I wish all a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Below is something I’m thankful for.

This past week the 15 year old step-daughter came to me and asked about going deer hunting, the season starts Monday so it’s a little bit late to get her going for this year. Sort of worries me about how she’s gonna react over the actual killing of something…. in the past she’s been a vegetarian, treehugger type of person, who would rather catch a bug and take it outside rather than kill it.

So I guess we are gonna get a 20 guage shotgun to start off with in small game this coming year. I think she’s a little small yet for a 12 guage at 15 years old, and there isn’t any way in hell I’m gonna let her go deer hunting with one of my Mosin Nagants that I use….. would break her arm off at the shoulder. But the best part is I get to buy some new guns….. woo hoo…. not that I need a excuse to buy some new guns.

I’m going to spend the night hiding away, with my Pipe, Flutes and some good incense and thank Grandfather for the joys of life. I’m off work until Tuesday night…. hopefully I will survive till then

Peace, TCWF

Elmo’s got a Gun

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“What does it matter how long I pray, so long as my prayers are answered?”
–Sitting Bull, HUNKPAPA LAKOTA
Too often we worry about the words we use in prayer. We focus on the words. What really counts is the spirit and intent behind our words. It is the spirit and intent that the Creator responds to. He reads and listens to our heart. Prayer isn’t only when we fold our hands and pray. Prayer is when we talk to the Creator even when we are walking down a path or sitting on a hill or walking in the mountains. The Elders say, walk in prayer. We should be willing to talk with the Great One.

Great Spirit, today I will pray to You all day. Listen to my heart.

Got home from work today, don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself, I’m off until Monday night.  I think Friday is gonna be a lake day, suppose to rain tomorrow, so I guess that’s a wash…. LOL  Had to drive through snow the other week in Western Maryland, was enough for them to plow the road.  Luckily they take pretty good care of those roads out there since they aren’t flat and are either going up or down.  But then again it is the Appalachian Mountians I cross there.  Was a beautiful sight seeing the snow like that, didn’t have my camera with me.

We have Gas heat at home now instead of Oil.  Hopefully that’ll save a ton of money this coming winter.  It’s a lot dryer in the house as well, guess we’re gonna have to get a humidifier.  Just wish these kids would learn to turn freaking lights off.  Glad I switched over to mostly CFL bulbs….. and no I don’t give a damned about the ‘mercury’ in them.  It’s a natural element on the periodic table, it comes from the ground and I have no problem with it going back in the ground.  Hell, I had a ball of Mercury I played with as a kid that I kept in a old aluminium film canister, I haven’t grown a third eye or have a leg sticking out of the middle of my forehead…. I think it’s all liberal environmentalism bullshit.   Yes, we need to take better care of our planet, but one microfart of mercury in a damned light bulb isn’t gonna change anything.

Someone asked me this week if I have names for my guns…. I just laughed.  I call whatever gun I have with me “Elmo” after the Weird Al song, “Elmo’s Got A Gun”

Okay time for a public service message,  Obama voters and liberals flee now

So I guess we all have figured out that Obama as President is gonna try to grab guns, ban guns, raise taxes on guns and ammo and basically do everything he can to get rid of guns in this country.  But then again 4 out of 5 politicians prefer uneducated, misinformed, unarmed pesaent’s….

According to the NRA there are almost 50 million gun owners in this country. Yet less than 4 million are members of the NRA, Even less for the Second Amendment Foundation. I am a member of both. I don’t think either one is perfect…. far from it actually in the case of the NRA.  But you know what, they are the ones who are in Washington, DC, defending our right to ‘keep and bear arms” for us. If your not a member I urge you to join. I now the NRA has a ‘election year’ special where membership is discounted to $25,

I think it’s time both the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation have at least a 10 million membership support. Please join one if not both, the more members that they have the easier it will be for them to get our elected officials to listen to them. How far will you go to defend your gun rights? How much is your ability to defend the lives of your self and family worth?  We can’t afford to bury our heads in the sand and think they’ll never be able to take our guns

http://www.nra.org  1-877-NRA-2000, tell them you want the election year special

‘‘Laws that forbid the carrying of arms… disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.’’ — Thomas Jefferson

Where did you pooh last?

I am writing this from the free WiFi at the Rest Area on I-68 in WV. This Rest Area is dedicated to the Medal of Honor recipients of WV.

In my opinion last night the American People took a crap on their graves.

BTW – It’s not about Racism….. it’s about Communism, Marksism, Socialism…. whatever you choose to call it.

I Open Carried my Taurus PT745 Millinuim Pro yesterday as we voted…. where did all these people come from. Never knew all these people lived in our area. Luckily I live in PA where it’s legal unless at a school, federal build or courthouse. Since I vote at a firehouse it’s all good.

Did get to talk with one older gentleman who asked if it was legal or I was security….LOL Told him I wasn’t security and that it was perfectly legal. We talked for a while about the Election and he told me he was scared that Obama would win. I think most old people are, the ones old enough to remember the Depression, WW II and the nazi’s, the communism of the 50’s/60’s and watching Walter Cronkite on the news and the race riots of the later 60’s….. Gave him a PA Gunrights Flyer as well, he told me he has a LTCF. and has been considering carrying again, told him I understood perfectly.

Interesting note, gun sales have increased over 10% nationwide this year.

Apathy of Hope

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Growth is a painful process.”
–Wilma Mankiller, CHEROKEE
Whenever we grow, we usually need to let go of emotional attachments. Letting go can be painful. Sometimes growth allows us to deal with fear. All fear can fit into two categories: one, we’re going to lose something we have, and two, we’re not going to get something we want. Both of these categories can cause pain. The best way to grow is to pray to the Great Spirit and ask Him to guide and protect us. All growth is guided by God.

My Creator, guide my growth today and give me Your love and courage to help my pain.

Sorry I haven’t been writing more, I guess I’m suffering form the “Apathy of Hope” with this current election and all. 

 

Today is election day….. we get to vote for who will be our fearful leader for the next four years, if we survive as a contry that long.  I am going to vote for the Constitution Party candidate but Pennsylvania in it’s divine wisdom doesn’t have that party on it’s ballot, so I guess I write in Chuck Baldwin’s name.  What a joke, it’s time we allow ballot acces to people outside the “two party system.”   I’ve been told a vote for Chuck is a vote for Obama…. I’d rather vote for Chuck Baldwin and hold my head high that I voted for my beliefs rather than my fears.

Sadly, most of the things that Obama supports and says he’ll do aren’t new things… actually they were enterd into the Congressional Record by  Albert Herlong, Jr. . . . . . over 45  years ago.  1963 Communist Goals

How many of these 45 things have already come to pass in the United States…..

I sent this to someone last night who decided I couldn’t be “friends” with them anymore” because I had posted a message about Barack Obama and his wanting to ban Concealed Carry.

“I’m sorry you feel you needed to delete me from your friends because of my political views, I guess you won’t be able to read the response to your comment on the message I posted.  Such a shame that this election has so divided our country, almost as badly as when the founding fathers decided that they could no longer live under the taxation and tyrany of a English King.  I make no apology for my views, that’s one of the things our Constitution’s Bill of Rights allows, that each person can express their view without fear of political persecution.  I would like to ask you about some of of  BHO’s views, associations and actions though. And how you reconcile them. But I will leave that decision up to you.

I would give the same opportunity to anyone here as well.

Well, off to read some of your thoughts, idea’s and wisdom…..

We the Morons

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Keep your life simple because the more you get, the more complicated it becomes.”
–Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE
The old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house, then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard which costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism, are other “gifts.” Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you. Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be spiritual.

Creator, let my foundation be spiritual and simple.

I Live!  I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything.  Have a lot I’m not gonna talk about.  Have a little I might talk about, after my nap.  Just got home this morning at 5:00 am from down around Richmond, VA.  Shoulda been home about 6:00 pm, but pooh happened, only cost me a hundred extra miles.

 

I wish my truck had a cassette player in it so I could plug my Zune into it.  I would rather listen to music than the political retoric on the radio anymore,  Just glad Coast to Coastlast night wasn’t about political crap, not sure how much longer the duct tape holding my head together is gonna last.  I mean I’ve already got blood squirting out my eyeballs from the regurgitated talking points on both sides of the isle when it comes to Democreeps and Ratpublicans.  I wish beyond a doubt that there would one day be a legitimate third or even forth party that has a ‘real’ chance of ever getting elected.  One’s that doesn’t think they are Thomas Jefferson reincarnated or a bunch of hop heads with guns.

I have been reading the “Federalist Papers” and find it amazing how the people who helped found this country are so different in ideology than the current morons we have elected. I find it also disconcerting that the people of the United States base their entire hope of the future of this nation bases on the next President when the Congress are the ones so screwing up everything.  The House and Senate are where the laws come from, they are the ones who really screw this up for us all.

And then there is this bailout thing . . . . it’s the same thing that cause the depression to ast 10 years instead of 1 year.  All that’s gonna happen is “we the people” are gonna get screwed into higher taxes again.  I think it’s time to kick all their butts out of Washington, pass a law that says NO Lawyers can hold a goverenment office at any time and return to a goverment of “we the people.” 

Peace, TCWF

Another day in the eternity of this life

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Those who live for one another learn that love is the bond of perfect unity.”
–Fools Crow, LAKOTA
To serve each other, to respect each other, to trust each other, to honor each other, to love each other, to cooperate with each other, to care for each other, to forgive one another, to focus on peoples’ good, to laugh with one another, to learn from one another; to pray for each other – these are all acts of love. These values and actions will connect us to one another in the Unseen World. Nature is a good example of how we should get along with one another. Watch nature. She is our teacher. Nature lives to give to one another. The insects give to the birds who give to the four legged who give to the two legged. The Creator made all things perfect.

Oh Great Spirit, let me serve the people today. Let me see that it is better to give than it is to receive. Be with me today.

Yes, I am still alive.

Finished watching the HBO mini series John Adams this past week.  I’m still wondering how that “Federalist” Party ever turned into the current Democrat craziness.   So I’ve begun to read the “Federalist Papers” (only 400 pages in the free pdf file I found) to try and understand.  For in the words of Jack Ryan in the movie ‘Hunt for Red October’ “It is wise to study the ways of one’s adversary.  Don’t you think?” I’m not sure who exactly I’m going to vote for yet, but I know it won’t be for a Democrat, maybe not Republican either.  Guess I need some extra strong duct tape and a clothes pin for my nose on election day.  I mean seriously, if Obama and McCain are the best this country has to offer as our representative to the rest of the world . . . . we are screwed.

 

One other thing I’ve read recently are the Articles of Confederation of these United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Work is the same old thing, I’ve been doing the same run for getting close to 5 years.  My truck is a ‘05 model, next week I will surpass the 400,000 mile mark.  I think I have about 227 to go to get there right now.  I got this truck in Sept of ‘05 and it had about 34,000 miles on it then.  It has it’s issues but eh, it’s a truck, if I ever get to loving it just kill me . . . LOL  I never want to get to the place where I like being at work in my truck more than other places. 

This is taken from Godtoday.com

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Our acts of love, speak more vividly to the hearts of those around us, than our words. The impact our lives have on others, is found in our day to day activities, and the way we handle and respond to everyday situations. Our children are no exception. The opinions and character formed in them are a result of our actions more than our words. It is these seemingly small, everyday things that have the greatest impact in their lives. If we will continue to seek Creator as our example, He will enable us to be good examples to our children. When children have a firm foundation in the ways and word of God, they will not be easily uprooted and the storms of life will not consume them. They will have the ability to stand strong in our Creator.

Allow my life to be a blessing and example to my children and to all those who know me. Create me in Your image and enable me to live the example of Your word, so that my actions will speak Your love and truth.

I have met only a few people in my life who have taught me more about myself than 1000 people ever could, James Ott,  Aurther Cannon, Peter Miller, and A. Rueben Hartwick.  One was in the military with me, one a preacher and two college professors.  Three are dead now, not sure about the forth.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and week

Peace
