Happy Birthday! The Tyrant is Dead.

Saddam maddas a hatter. Saddam dead as a doornail. Saddam assumes room temperature. Saddam there but for the grace of Allah goes Bin-Laden. Saddam re-united with his sons. Saddamized.
Deadlines for headlines.
Personally I get no solace in the fact that this evil mass murderer is gone. Symbolically it had to happen, and the sooner the better. The brave American soldiers that have died trying to clean up his hell hole are who I choose to think about and pray for. I saw that Saddam went to the gallows with a Quran in his hand, how fitting that the handbook for the adherents to the 'Religion of Peace' will be there to guide his soul to it's final resting place.
If Saddam was playing with Tarot cards which ones came up, do you suppose? The hanging man? The death card? Both?
Lord God almighty must be very disappointed in this individual. Given, or allowed to take, a position of high authority over an entire nation, he used his position to torture and oppress people and ingratiate himself. The things Saddam could have done to make the world a better place were infinitismal, and maybe that will be one of his punishments in Hell. To see the alternate reality, where he was a great leader and with all the oil wealth that has been bestowed upon Iraq, created a great center of learning and prosperity right there in the heart of the middle-east. But alas, it was not meant to be.
I get a kick out of the American hating leftists who say that we are responsible for Hussein because we supported him in the Iran-Iraq war. Maybe there is some culpability there but we never told him to kill his own people and try and take over the region. We rightly sided with the lesser of two evils, and gave him an opportunity to step up and change the dynamic, which he obviously failed in a most spectacular way. Now we still have to deal with the trouble in Iran without a secular ally in Saddam Hussein who could have exercised some control over this wild beast of a nation. And could have accomplished that control without torturing and killing so many of his own people, could he not?
Anyway life goes on and the quickening continues to gather momentum, hastening US toward the final conflict of good versus evil. One I hope and pray that we do the right thing and not end up like Saddam Hussein. Great potential relegated to the ash heap of History.

And Iran, Iran so far away.

Others are feeling like me, President Bush may have missed his calling.

It's me and Joey.

When the Flu Hits

A conspiracy theorist would have to surmise that President Bush is about to unleash a mutated form of H5N1 flu virus on the world, or maybe just New Orleans. It is getting into the flu season so of course we should start to see some flu stories in the news. No doubt we all should be careful and wash our hands often, for many are vulnerable to strains less deadly than H5N1.

The last horrible worldwide outbreak was 1918. The world was at war and here we are again war breaking out everywhere, maybe when the Angel of Death is unleashed there is no restraining the scope of operations.

The Clash of the Process of Civilization

This world is all about perceptions and perspectives.
We are not at war with the Iranian people just their rulers and theocrats, those who will drive these people to their death.

With Friends Like These.

Who needs enemies?
I am thinking maybe we should just back off and let these guys do what they do best.
Let's just build a cage around the middle-east and call it the ultimate.

Time to come back.

Maybe now it's O.K. to go back to my original church home. If I had a home that is. As a vagabond of the Christian World I have been Episcopalian, Baptist, Non-denominational Lutheran, maybe Catholic(way back when I was 4 or 5), probably every denomination, whatever church I stepped into. I have also been as New Age, agnostic, liberal, Rosicrucian, hippie, heavy metalist, skateboarder(steel wheels), chess club, poet, artist(still am), deep thinking(tripped out?), environmentally safe person, as any other. In other words even as I was sinning I was still searching for the Lord. Because I wasn't always all the bad things, back to back to back, and I wasn't always all the good things, back to back to back. 2 steps forward one step back, 1 step forward 2 steps back. And so it goes.

Our Controlling Nature.

Why do people feel they must control everything? Maybe it is that controlling tendency that has created problems from the very beginnings of civilization. Many, many people throughout the eons of time have fought to and fought to throw off the yoke of control and domination. Right now we are fighting to maintain the world system that is in place. Maybe maintaining the status quo is not the penultimate desire of our creator. Maybe humanities destination was hi-jacked long ago and throughout the ages we have been fighting to stabilize and maintain a faulty hierarchy. Deep within, our souls desire is to be free. Completely free, of all stains of sin, selfishness and material desires that cloud our spirit from the light of God's presence.

To Liberals and Mental Weaklings..-..-.

I know what you are thinking. You are betting your life that your great country(and it is great) has a trick up their sleeve . "We are the U.S.A. ... f yeah! We have secret laboratories and super spys and ray guns and sh*t. We can do anything, the stuff that we don't even know about would make your head spin."
I myself would love to know that to be true. However, as awesome as some of our scientific and secret weapons technology must certainly be, without the will to use it makes it virtually worthless to have taken the time and treasure to produce.
You are thinking..-..-"What if everybody hates us?"
well what if?
Whatif your butt sniffed?

We can't live our lives worried about offending people who are threatening to kill US.
This enemy will not quit this fight, the wheels are in motion.
But still you're saying "We can't win"
I say we have already won, we just have not believed in ourselves. We are the lone superpower in the world because Almighty God has granted US this honor, we must act like we deserve to be thusly rewarded.

Or what good is it?
