"Daily Motivations"
Only about 2 percent of people can work entirely without supervision. We call these people "leaders." This is the kind of person you are meant to be -- Brian Tracy
"Daily Devotions" (KJV and/or NLT)
The Python and the Chihuahua But I fear that somehow you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to Christ (2 Cor. 11:3). Train your mind to think properly and biblically.
"The LORD is close to all who call on Him, yes, to all who call on Him sincerely." (Psalm 145:18 NIV)
"The Patriot Post"
"Religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public liberty and happiness." -- Samuel Adams
"So low and hopeless are the finances of the United States, that, the year before last Congress was obliged to borrow money even, to pay the interest of the principal which we had borrowed before. This wretched resource of turning interest into principal, is the most humiliating and disgraceful measure that a nation could take, and approximates with rapidity to absolute ruin: Yet it is the inevitable and certain consequence of such a system as the existing Confederation." -- North Carolina delegate to the Constitutional Convention William Richardson Davie (1756-1820)
"The choice before us is clear. I strongly feel that the great majority of Americans believe that nothing would better encourage economic growth than leaving more money in the hands of the people who earn it. It's time to stop stripping bare the productive citizens of America and funneling their hard-earned income into the Federal bureaucracy. .... Americans have always been prepared to pay their fair share, but today they should make it clear to all elected officials that government has gone beyond its bounds and that the people will not tolerate [an] ever-increasing tax burden." -- Ronald Reagan
"How many in-your-face radical leftist appointments must Obama make before some realize this apparently conciliatory man is indeed a polarizing radical? Let's just look at the [Harry] Knox appointment [to his Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships]. ... Knox is the militant homosexual activist who, just last month, called Pope Benedict XVI and certain Catholic bishops 'discredited leaders' for opposing same-sex marriage. He said the Knights of Columbus are 'foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression' because they supported California's Proposition 8 ballot initiative to amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. ... Knox also denounced the teachings of the apostle Paul as 'not true.' 'Paul,' said Knox, 'did not have any idea of the kind of love that I feel for a partner when I am partnered. ... The straight man, the heterosexual man who got the privilege of writing the book, the educated, rich heterosexual man, Paul ... didn't think it was natural because for him it must not have been.' When appointed, Knox said the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community 'will support the president in living up to his promise that government has no place in funding bigotry against any group of people.' Sounds harmless enough on its face until you understand that Knox and the LGBT community consider the failure to support the judiciary's thwarting of the people's democratic will to define marriage as heterosexual in character to be bigotry." -- columnist David Limbaugh
"In addition to an abhorrence of democracy, and the recognition that government posed the gravest threat to liberty, our founders harbored a deep distrust and suspicion of Congress. This suspicion and distrust is exemplified by the phraseology used throughout the Constitution, particularly our Bill of Rights, containing phrases such as Congress shall not: abridge, infringe, deny, disparage or violate. Today's Americans think Congress has the constitutional authority to do anything upon which they can get a majority vote. We think whether a particular measure is a good idea or bad idea should determine passage as opposed to whether that measure lies within the enumerated powers granted Congress by the Constitution. Unfortunately, for the future of our nation, Congress has successfully exploited American constitutional ignorance or contempt." -- George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"CNN reporter Susan Roesgen interviewed tea-party protesters and then called their activities 'anti-government.' We all know Obama has the majority of the national news organizations in his pocket, he controls large national banks, he and his minions run many of our country's large organizations, and he is stealing and reallocating our monies at lightning speed. Now 'motherland' security's calculated rhetoric about right-wing extremist's tea-party members puts many on notice? Sound anything like Germany a half century or so ago?" -- Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania
"Chuck Sproull"
I have been working for our U.S. Department of Defense (with the Navy) for 44 years, and have been married to one wife 33 years; and have observed that no one is perfect. But when people care about the high quality of American life and "domestic tranquility," and work together with honest working relationships and respectful communication, they can reduce the negative effects of their various imperfections, grow together, and accomplish more positive results. Or as someone once said, "There is more power in clasped hands than in clenched fists."
I feel a militant desire to preserve the heritage our Founders gave us, directed by inspiration from God's word. Every morning I include a prayer for our or American Government leaders - for President Obama, our Senators, Representatives and Supreme Court Justices; at the Federal level and State level and local government leaders.
"Our Father in heaven, You ordained human governments for regulation of society and protection from enemies, and promised that your Government would bring peace to all who would allow your Son to be their Governor ((Exodus 30:3-17, Isaiah 9:6-7, Rom 13:1, 1 Tim 2:2). Let "Thy will be done" (Matt 6:10) in America "as it is in heaven"
"Father, send a ministering spirit, a witness of your pure righteousness, and letters from concerned citizens to speak to our leaders hearts. Let your divine influence touch every Government leaders' conscience, and help them become more honest and unselfish in the use of our tax money and the legislation they write and vote on. Let it be used more for the protection of the most important, precious, sacred and yet vulnerable parts of our heritage, that you gave us through the strong Bible-based moral convictions of our Founders."
"Father, protect our normal marriages from homosexual activism (because normal, loving permanent marriage is your will on earth (Gen 1:27-28, 2:23-34, Matt 19:5-56, Eph 5:31)), protect our faithful family structure from all distractions, immorality and abuse in media and entertainment; protect our children in their mother's wombs from brutal and painful murder of abortion (Deut 30:19); and our children in the public schools from hatred, anger, violence, lies, pornography; that they may receive a more wholesome education and become the moral leaders of this Constitutional Republic you gave us 230 years ago."
"Father, You promised that 'Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people' (Prov 14:34) therefore it is your desire to exalt America and for us to be a good example to the rest for the rest of the world to follow. Father, let the strong arm of your love sweep across this land and bring a wonderful revival, and raise up another generation of youth who care about the high quality of life only You can give. And Lord, protect our economy and resources from destruction by internal and external enemies, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
There are many selfish, dishonest, domineering, minorities here, in Europe, Asia and the Mid-East, that are trying forcefully to gain additional rights (irresponsible freedoms) that God and our Founders didn't give us, and take away our Rights (responsible freedoms) they did give us.
God bless you, and Have a wonderful, free American day, be militant in a good-natured way.

Islamic Terror Attacks on American Soil
We recently got taken to the mat by a polite, young Muslim living in the U.K. who took issue with our oft-repeated statement that no Muslim-American lost their life to vigilante violence following 9/11. She provided us a list of six or seven candidates and, after whittling out the ones where the killer was unknown or in cases with mitigating circumstances such as “victim was sleeping with killer’s ex-girlfriend” (we’re not making that up), we reached a shocking conclusion:
We were wrong.
There is one seemingly unambiguous case that occurred in Dallas, Texas where Waqar Hasan, a Muslim convenience storeowner, was gunned down by Mark Anthony Stroman four days after the 9/11 attacks. Stroman claimed to have been motivated by anger from watching the towers fall. He is not exactly your average American, however, even apart from the shooting. For one thing, he is a white supremacist who carried a felony criminal record at the time of the attack. He also went on to shoot two more people in the weeks that followed.
Although news of the crime was overshadowed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Stroman’s name brings up more Google hits than some of the 9/11 hijackers – and only a handful of World Trade Center victims are mentioned more on the Web than Waqar Hasan. (Interestingly, the name of a Sikh, killed by someone mistaking him for an Arab actually brings up far more hits than either Hasan or any murdered WTC victim with the exception of the firehouse chaplain). Also, unlike the terrorists walking free in Muslim countries, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death (which we wholeheartedly support).
Nevertheless, we acknowledge that our Muslim friend is correct and that there was at least one Muslim killed in an anti-Arab hate crime in the U.S. following the anti-American hate crime on 9/11. For anyone keeping score:
People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11: 2,996
Muslim-Americans killed in revenge (...by white power felons): 1
Of course, 9/11 was neither the first nor the last time that Muslims have killed Americans on U.S. soil in terror attacks. In fact, since that day, Muslims have killed at least 37 people in 28 separate acts of terrorism in the United States (by the standards that Muslim-American groups set for hate crimes). Perhaps more importantly, there have been quite a few planned mass murders of Americans by Islamic terrorists that were thwarted by the FBI, law enforcement and overseas intelligence operations both before and after 9/11.
By contrast, Muslim-Americans do not appear to be in any special danger from murderous (non-Muslim) religious fanatics. Identity groups, such as CAIR, whine incessantly about relatively trivial incidents while turning a blind eye to the horrible violence that is meted out daily in the name of their religion. This distasteful petulance offers insight not only into the character of Islam, but also the impressive religious tolerance that Americans manage to maintain.
For anyone wondering about the history of deadly Islamic terror on American soil in the last 35 years, here’s what we could find:

"The e-mail Bag"
"Misplaced Medicare Reports"
The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello." "Mrs. Sanders, please."
"Speaking." "Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good." "What do you mean?" Mrs. Sanders asked nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which."
"That's dreadful! Can you do the test again? questioned Mrs. Sanders.
"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."
Be Strong Honey!
A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 Years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns.
Inside, He finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.
While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman In years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, DON'T RESIST, DON'T COMPLAIN...do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, Honey. I love you!
His wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline.
I told him it was in the bathroom...
You be strong Honey. And I love you, too"!
