GLOOM AND DOOM
Friday, November 13, 2020
Politics and other BS.
So I'm watching the election results Mr. Trump looks like he has lost, but he is hanging on 'till the very end. That's what winners do, even when they're losing.
I admire Trump. He is a successful businessman, and so far as I can see, is a man of his word. Mr Biden is the perennial candidate. He has run for the presidency several times, and lost. Now, he seems to have won all the marbles.
do not belong to either of the major political parties, and didn't vote for either Trump nor Biden. so I have no skin in the game, other than the outcome of the election will affect, not only the election and the world.
Seems like the Democrat machine has pulled out all the stops, and has won the game. It will be pretty close to a tie in the electoral vote. If nothing else, it's interesting to watch.
I am hearing the word "democracy" being used a lot by the left. In truth, democracy, and pure communism are the same thing, in that they both operate on the total consensuses of the people. It is a noble thought, but in reality, it doesn't work.
The system is always promoted by, and taken over by an authoritative leader, and the dream vanishes. I cannot think of any country where that has not happened. Problem is, the leader usually turns into a despot. The Roman Caesars, most European kings, Hitler Mao, Pol Pot, Edie Amin, and an just about any others that you can name. If that leader is not despotic, his successor usually is.
I am thinking that this is about to happen. This time it is not Colonel So and So, it will be the new president, or his second in command.
If Trump manages to squeak out a victory, it will be a while before that happens, I don't think the Republicans have the powerful machine with a razor sharp propaganda arm to accomplish that end. In any case, In the words of the once popular song, I'll tip my hat to the new constitution. Take a bow for the new revolution. Smile and grin at the change all around. Pick up my guitar and play. Just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray. We don't get fooled again.
I don't mean to be negative, as I am primarily a positive person. These are my thoughts on the coming administration.

Pray For Our Leaders
November 8, 2020
As most of my readers know, I am not a fan of socialism, and certainly not a fan of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris I believe they are a great danger to our nation, and lead us on a path from which we may never recover.
Now, as a Christian,
I know that The Bible adjures us to pray for our leaders, and those
in power that we may live in peace.
I have been praying
for the leaders of our nation to do god’s will, for many years. I
will continue to do so. I will pray that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
have a great spiritual awakening and lead our nation in holiness and
purity. If that is not God’s will for them, then I pray they do
God’s will.
It is a hard thing to do to pray for our enemies, but it is essential to demonstrating the love of God through out faith in Jesus Christ.

IN DEFENSE OF INTERNET PROVIDERS
IN DEFENSE OF INTERNET PROVIDERS
There is a great furor
over internet companies blocking what they feel is offensive. First
of all, Twitter and Facebook are private companies. They have the
right to control what is said, or written on their site.
The
rules on the internet are different than those of other media. There
was a time that you could not say certain things on radio,
television, or newspapers. In great part, this is still the case. We
have the right to free speech, but the internet is considered like
private mail, even though distributed to a broad audience. Congress
nor the FCC has any control over what is said there.
We have
the right to block things that we find offensive, and most all of us
we have had those things had that happen to us, and we have also
blocked others.
I don't like what
they are doing, but since it is a public forum on a privately owned
network, they have the legal, and moral right to do so.
Those
who use music as part of their posts get upset because the private
company, which pays for some content on their forum won't pay the
user for using recorded material without having written consent of
the artist because they believe that it is protecting the rights of
the artist in that no royalties are paid them, and the user in
effect, be making money for using it.
They also censor certain
things that are written or said because they find it offensive.
That is their right. They own the platform, and they control it. In
other words, it's their game, they make the rules. If we don't like
it, we don't have to play.

Two Revolutions
There is a revolution going on now. it is being fomented by people who wish to undermine and destroy our system of government. Anarchists. Now I have to admit that I too am a moderate anarchist. One who does not believe in big government. A Libertarian. I do, as many others of my thought realize that there has to be an entity which does things like regulate interstate commerce, impose tariffs on outside countries, etc.
These people don't want any of that. They want a tyrannical government such as was imposed in Stalinist Russia. Only with out the gulags of course. But what they don't realize is, that system is exactly what they are ushering in.
I don't know who the dictator will be. Soros is too old. Kamala Harris comes to mind, but that is yet to be seen. No one expected Stalin, and no one expected Hitler, who was also a self describes socialist, to become what they became.
There is great unrest growing among the bourgeois, the middle class, especially the far right fringe, to start another revolution. this time against the government.
It is my thought that the government will swoop in and crush it, while merely warning the current revolutionaries to calm down, and not make so much noise. It is one thing to attack private property, and quite another to attack government property. I have warned of this for some time, and will continue to do so.
There is an election coming up that is of vital importance to the American People. We who are voters, called electors in The Constitution, have the authority, right, and duty to do away with those
in Congress.
The peaceful revolution I advocate is via the ballot box. We must as a people, reject those who would subvert The Constitution and turn America to a socialist, and perhaps a religious country with it's own set of oppressive laws laws.
In short, vote out all incumbents. We had a chance in the primary election, and for the most part, failed. I hope that we will all do this. It's vital to the future of America.

Invasion? Probably Not A Good Idea.
It would be very dangerous for them should the UN to invade us. Can you imagine 250,000,000 well armed, mostly well trained in military tactics men and women who are ready willing and able to fight for American sovereignty? Not to mention those currently in our armed forces who are equally against a UN invasion?
