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…..

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

Who is really to blame for High Oil Prices.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Modern civilization has no understanding of sacred matters. Everything is backwards.”
–Thomas Yellowtail, CROW
Modern civilization says, don’t pray in school; don’t pray at work; only go to church on Sunday. If you don’t believe what I believe, you’ll go to hell. Deviancy is normal. Our role models cheat, drink and run around; these are the people in the news. The news sells bad news; no one wants to hear good news. Kids are killing kids. Victims have little protection. Violence is normal. Leaders cheat and lie. Everything is backwards. We need to pray for spiritual intervention. We need to have guidance from the Creator to help us rebuild our families, our communities and ourselves. Today, I will pray for spiritual intervention from the Great Spirit.

Grandfather, we pray for your help in a pitiful way.

Okay time to remove the Duct Tape that’s struggling to hold my head together during this moronic election year.

I’m so pissed off about gas prices and the ring around the rosie being played by the jackasses in Washington, wanting to know who is responsible for these high prices.

THEY ARE! THE STUPID JACKASSES IN WASHINGTON, THAT’S WHO!

Why are they responsible you ask, because US businesses are being bleed to death with 35% tax rates while we are giving free trade to other nations. What we need to do is get rid of taxes on US businesses and add a 25% Tax to the imports Why penalize our own people for trying to compete with people we allow to do business with the US for FREE. Make them pay instead of overburdening our companies and citizens with outrageous taxes.

Why does this hurt our economy? Because Businesses leave this one so they don’t have to pay the taxes. This means the countries like China and India, with lots of money from not paying taxes here, can make all kinds of stuff 90% cheaper than we do. And since they are building all these factories to make this crap in, they need more oil to do it, hence driving up the oil prices at the futures auctions for oil.

Some would say, “Not tax businesses? That will kill our tax base!” But will it, if they don’t have to pay burdensome taxes. Which are really just passed on to the end user (consumer) anyways. Who gets all this extra money, the companies? No, it’s the shareholders, people like you and I who have gazillions of dollars invested in these companies in stocks and mutual funds. More money in our pockets means more money we can spend and boost the economy.

I would propose a 20% flat tax on personal income and ban any and all other taxes by federal, state and local gooberments. Give 10% to the Federal, 6% to the State, and 4% to the Local gooberments and let them know that’s it, NO MORE. Adjust your budgets to reflect. It’s time WE the American people took control back from the gooberment.

I ain’t even gonna start on the UN and it’s stupidity, term limits for elected officials, and the stupifying of our education system through standardized testing, ‘No’ child left behind really means ‘every’ child left behind. All I hear is about raising taxes, banning guns, federalizing schools, healthcare and businesses from the elected gooberment. They tried all that, it was the Soviet Socialist Republic, remember them.  I grew up in NH, the state motto is “Live free or die” nobody ever added “after taxes” to that.  I think it’s time once again to “Live Free or Die”

Well, guess it’s time to go and visit as many as I can

Peace, TCWF

Voting, Multitasking and Failure

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“When you remove love and try to replace it with monetary things, you’ve got nothing … get him to understand that he has to love himself before he can love anything else.”
–John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG
It is said, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” That’s the trouble, most of us do.

Great Spirit, You are love; You are spirit. Spirit and love are interconnected. I am spiritual. Let me realize what I am really made of.

I have decided that this whole election process is just too dang freaking long, I mean there’s still over 290 days till the general election…. I have come up with a plan to streamline the whole process.

No primary campaigning before the 4th of July, primary campaigning begins the following Monday

With 1 weeks primary campaigning in states based on their total population. So first would be Mountain time zone, followed by Central, Pacific and then Eastern (based on total population only.

Primary campaigning is allowed for only one week in that designated time zone only and the vote takes place the following Monday, (NO campaigning allowed on weekends and only 1 debate per time zone allowed)

The next Time zone begins the Monday following the previous primary election voting.

The Party Convention can them be held Labor day weekend, And Campaigning for the General election would begin the first Monday in October. (only 2 debates allowed for the general election). Election day would remain the same, the first Tuesday in November

Any violations would result in a 100,000 a day fine or removal from the ballot if not paid.

So as example, the 2008 Election would be as follows:

Mountain Time, July 7 thru July 11 with voting on July 14

Central Time, July 21 thru July 25 with voting on July 28

Pacific Time, August 4 thru August 8 with voting on August 11

Eastern Time, August 18 thru August 22 with voting on August 25

The Party Conventions begin August 29 thru September 1

The General Election Campaign would begin on October 6 and run thru October 31 (NO campaigning on weekends remember)

The General Election voting on November 4.

See, simple, easy and we don’t have to listen to the same crap being spewed for 2 years only for 4 months…. I’m loving it

I’ve noticed a lot of people struggling with trying to accomplish so many different tasks,  Sometimes we take on too much at once and well, then we can’t do our best with any of them.  I remember the advice I use to give others during my preacher person days (don’t ask, them shoes was way too tight).  Don’t worry about the stuff that Your not getting the answers for right now, deal with the stuff that God is talking to you about, He’ll get around to the rest….  Remember like that old Johnny Cash song, “One piece at a time,”   Life is a lot like a jigsaw puzzle, you can’t put all the pieces together at once, only take them apart. Daily Om had a article about that recently.

At Your Own Pace, The Tortoise And The Hare

The classic tale of the tortoise and the hare reminds us that different people take life at different speeds and that one way is not necessarily superior to another. In fact, in the story it is the slower animal that ends up arriving at the destination first. In the same way, some of us seem to move very quickly through the issues and obstacles we all face in our lives. Others need long periods of time to process their feelings and move into new states of awareness. For those of us who perceive ourselves as moving quickly, it can be painful and exasperating to deal with someone else’s slower pace. Yet, just like the tortoise and the hare, we all arrive at the same destination, together, eventually.

People who take their time with things are probably in the minority in most of the world today. We live in a time when speed and productivity are valued above almost anything else. Therefore, people who flow at a slower pace are out of sync with the world and are often pestered and prodded to go faster and do more. This can be not only frustrating but also counterproductive because the stress of being pushed to move faster than one is able to move actually slows progress. On the other hand, if a person’s style is honored and supported, they will find their way in their own time and, just like the tortoise, they might just beat the speedier, more easily distracted person to the finish line.

It’s important to remember that we are not actually in a race to get somewhere ahead of someone else, and it is difficult to judge by appearances whether one person has made more progress than another. Whether you count yourself among the fast movers or as one of the slower folks, we can all benefit from respecting the pace that those around us choose for themselves. This way, we can keep our eyes on our own journey, knowing that we will all end up together in the end.

Well, I’m going back to work tonight

Walk in Peace, TCWF

Lovely week it was the last of ‘07

 

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“When temptation comes, I don’t say, `Yes,” and I don’t say, `No.’ I say, `Later,’ I just keep walking the Red Road-down the middle. When you’re in the middle, you don’t go to either extreme. You allow both sides to exist.”
–Dr. A. C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA
We need to practice controlling our focus. Whatever we focus on we become. We also become whatever we practice. We need to focus on balance. Whenever something comes along to tilt us off balance, we need to be grateful, because it allows the opportunity to practice our focus. Sometimes this is called temptation. Temptation in itself is not bad. What really counts is what we do with it when it happens. We need to practice controlling our focus and keeping our thinking focused on the Red Road.

Great Spirit, today, guide me through my temptations and allow me to focus on the Red Road.

Got home last night about 8:30 pm didn’t sleep real well, got up today, and we spent most of it out shopping, Every year I get a gift card from work to a seriation store, I always give it to LV for new clothing, this year with the after Rhama-Haunna-Kwans-Mass sales and discounts, she got $298 worth of regular priced clothing for $122 before the gift card, or basically she got it all free with my gift card and the one she had $22 left over from last year. I can live with that, so we splurged and bought the kids each a candy bar for $ 2.98 each

Okay, so well, this is the story…. about 3 am, on I-68 in western MD, about 15 miles before Cumberland, MD I was going west, down one of the hills, and got passed by a car, doing a good 80, maybe more. I knew there was a cop about 1/2 way down, (it’s a CB thing) so I was just cruising along, about 65, saw the car zip by where the cop was parked and then saw the cops car lights go on, as he puled out then the blues lit up just as the car got to the bridge and started spinning, car hit about three times before leaving the bridge then wound up in the storm run off about three feet on the other side of the guard rail. Cop stopped, I stopped, we drug some people out of the cars, one covered one just bleeding pretty bad, we got my most of it stopped up before the ambulance got there. I dead, one screwed up for a long while. Cop told me thanks for stoping and having the first aid kit in the truck, was given to me about a month ago in KY from one of the places I go to…. Well, at least it was better than last time watching a guy get decapitated on a motorcycle at about 70 running into the back of a pickup with a camper.

A lot happened this week, Christmas day the guys get attacked by a Siberian tiger in San Fran, CA at the zoo…. what’s up with that? Then the two guys who survived were trying to get away and refusing medical treatment? Then at the hospital they are trying to get away and won’t talk with t he cops or anyone…. huh! Then they lie on the phone to the dead guys dad and tell him they haven’t seen the son when he calls one to ask if they’ve seen him….. wth….???? Then in Dallas, TX someone shoots a pet (declawed) Bengal tiger 5 times and dumps it of on the side of a road?

Then the ex, wanna be again Prime Minister of Pakistan (these people have nukes!!!) gets shot and blown up. Now, her son is claiming to be leading her cause in her place… even though he doesn’t even speak the language…. duh! (abc world news tonight) and Al Quida is growing in leaps and bounds in Pakistan…. (the country with the nukes!!!) Oh Yeah, btw, Cashmere and India are up each others butt again….. they both have nukes!!!

 

This weeks pictures a re just some beautiful flower ones …. because I can really use a good cheerful picture

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“everything is laid out for you. Your path is straight ahead of you. Sometimes it’s invisible but it’s there. You may not know where it’s going, but still you have to follow that path. It’s the path to the Creator. That’s the only path there is.”
–Leon Shenandoah, ONONDAGA
Everything on the earth has a purpose and a reason for its existence. Every human being is a warrior and every warrior has a song written in his/her heart and that song must be sung or the soul forever remains restless. This song is always about serving the Great Spirit and helping the people. This song is always sung for the people. Many times I need to learn much about the difficulties of life. I need to know this, so I must experience it. Then I can be of use to the people. Because I am experiencing difficulty does not mean I have left the path or that I have done something wrong. It means I’m doing the will of the Great Spirit during these times of testing. I need to pray constantly to keep a good attitude.

Great Spirit, this I know – You will never leave me, only my doubting makes it seem like You do. This I know – Your love is always dependable, only my doubting makes it seem like You do. Today remove the doubts from my belief system and allow me to stand straight and see You with straight eyes.

The weekly randomness. Right after LV called to tell me the basement was flooded again, I got stopped while they cleaned up a wreck here in KY. Car went across the median, caught the front in the ditch and end over ended of course stopping in the lanes I was headed… so we sat, watching helecopters come flying to pick up the carnage, then waiting on the investigation, before they allowed the vehical to be moved away…

Hell, I don’t even feel in the mood to write anything, but I will because I’m bored and there isn’t anything else to do right now. Guess I could watch a movie, that would probably help get things moving…. because you know just as soon as the good parts start the traffic will be cleaned up and moving again. Oh well, so I sit, less than 20 miles from the place in KY that I’ve been driving to since I left PA at 6 this morning. It’s my own fault though, would have been past this area before it happened if I hadn’t stopped about a hour ago, to induldge my sinful desires, (candy and bathroom). Amazing how a extra 15 minutes would have mattered sometimes, maybe I would have been past it, maybe it would have crossed over just as I got to the very spot at the moment the wreck was happening and been involved in it. So as I sit watching the lights flashing in the distance I guess I can only wonder.

Newt Gingrich is thinking about running for President, hope it doesn’t get to tough for him and he has to resign again like he did when he was Speaker of the House. How hard of a job could it have been if a moonbat from Calfornia can do it. I guess we will just be choosing the lesser of two evils like the last election of Presidente’. I’m not sure right now who I’de vote for.

The Boston Red Sox won the AL East championship last night with a win over the MN Twins…. But they clinched it by the Danged NY Yankees losing to the Orioles in Baltimore last night. When I went to bed about 11, the Orioles were losing 8-2 then I wake up and they won 10-9 in 10 innings…. Woohoo. This means the Red Sox play the CA Angels in Boston to begin the playoffs while the Yankees have to go to Cleveland and get whooped by the Indians. It’s always better to start the playoffs in yur own sandbox. Gotta love the NY Mets though, having a 7 game lead on Sept 12th and blow it and not even male the playoffs 2 weeks later…. yeeeaash. gives a whole new meaning to the term choke.

“If you get troubled, go and sit by the river. The flowing water will take your troubles away.”
–Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE
Sometimes we get mixed up and we don’t know what to do. Go to the river or creek. Take your sage and tobacco; sit and be still. Talk to the water, offer tobacco and the healing water will take your problems downstream. Give thanks.
Great Spirit, heal my mind today, let me see love.

Okay, this entry is a little off the wall, actually it’s more on the wall, literally. Hope you can understand where I am coming from in this entry. Yeah it’s a political rant. I wrote this Thursday night while waiting for the soldiers to come to work Friday morning, I feel safe surrounded by the 101st Airborne on Thursday nights at Ft Campbell, I sleep well.

“KILL ALL ELLEGAL ALIANS AND TERROREST”

This message was scrawled across the wall on a public restroom I used today in Wytheville, VA. I didn’t correct the spelling. The first thought that came to my mind was ‘only if we can make it retroactive to 1492.’ I can just picture the man who wrote this in my mind. I won’t go into my description. It’s easy to stereotype what I think this man would look like, all to easy . . . We see pictures nightly on the news of immigration protestors and “Minutemen” protecting the border from the hoards of illegal people crossing daily. People who think this way scare me, for two reasons. First because they clearly don’t understand American History and the acts of terrorism committed against the indigenous peoples inhabiting this land before Columbus “discovered” it. Probably never realize’s as well that Thanksgiving Day was actually consecrated to celebrate the slaughter of Native Americans. Secondly, the obvious command of the English language they hold. Is it possible for someone to actually graduate High School in the United States and still be illiterate? Unfortunately yes. The only difference in my eyes between a Native American and a Mexican? A line someone drew in the dirt. We are all equal people in the image of our Creator. Maybe it’s time we started to act like it.

Later as I was eating breakfast I got into a discussion with some others while watching the news of Israel and it’s war with Hezballah. Then it turned to a discussion of non-combative verses combative. Who are they, where is the line drawn. Are the combative people only the ones carrying the loaded guns? The ones with their finger on the button?

What about people like me, people who are in direct support of the US Military. If someone wasn’t doing my job, the 101st Airborne wouldn’t be able to do their job in Iraq because of the lack of products they need to replace or repair their equipment. Am I then a combative person? What about my Grandmother, who installed radar equipment on submarines during WWII? That lead to the death of Japanese and German people, some ‘civilians‘ on cargo ships. Is she a combative or non-combative. What about the ladies in Kansas City who built the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, what are they?

Maybe the children, women or elderly? All through history children, women and the elderly have held roles of direct support of the military or even carrying weapons into battle. Our own Civil War, The Germans in WWII used both children and elderly. The Vietnamese used women, children, elderly in their war with the United States. Throughout history we see this happening yet we are shock it continues today.

What about farmers, they grow foods which when purchased are used to feed our military. The factory workers who manufacture the products the military requires. The people who manufacture the products the people who manufacturer items for the military need to live their lives. Or the counter help at Dairy Queen who sold a ice cream cone to a soldier once. The Cashiers at Wal-Mart or any other store where a Military member might shop. What about them?

Who are the Non-Combative? I think Plato said it best, “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” In one way or another we are all responsible for the current status of our planet, even if it’s just through the vote we cast to elect someone into a public service office. Or the back we turn to the injustice. We shall all stand before our Creator and be found guilty. In my eyes we are all combative I our own small way.

So much for Peace, TWC
