the value of life in america..
ok, so it's been a while since i went blogging.. but all of this partial birth abortion, feeding tube, death penalty nonsense has finally brought me to a steady boil.
so, let me get this right.. in the united states we value the life of a convicted felon more than we do of an innocent woman who suffered brain damage. one half of the country would have you believe that the death penalty is a crime against humanity.. that making enemy combatants wear underwear on their head is punishable by impeachment of the president.. yet allowing an innocent brain damaged woman to die by starvation and/or dehydration is just a-ok. it's also a-ok to have an abortion in the third trimester (partial birth) in order to discard an unwanted pregnancy. so the rights of the innocent are insignificant, yet the rights of the condemned or convicted are inalienable. i find it just short of amazing that scott peterson will be kept alive for 20+ years during appeal after appeal to make sure that his life is worth taking, yet a woman who cannot speak for herself is having a decision made that will take her life in one of the most horrific manners possible - starvation and dehydration.
so, now the ethical question arises, if her father feels that this manner of death is inhumane and because of court order he can no longer FEED his daughter or GIVE HER WATER.. then if he were to, lets say, shoot her, to keep her from dying a slow miserable death - would he be charged with murder ?? what a strange world we now live in where the court can order a person to die and also charge someone for killing her.
frankly the judiciary in this country has completely lost it's sense of balance and perspective. they are making constitutional law as if the meaning of the constitution is legislated by public opinion.. or even WORSE - WORLD OPINION. the recent ruling banning the execution of minors in the united states was made from what constitutional principle ? none. if you read the majority decision it clearly states the rationale was to bring us in line with the rest of the world. frankly, being in line with the rest of the world is not what i hope for from the greatest country on the planet.. we are great because we have led by guiding principles and vision. when we decide that we want to adhere to what the rest of the world wants, we've lost.. unfortunately, we're being guided by activist judges.. and a now activist supreme court. i don't think that there is any question why the left side of the political sphere is fighting so vehemently to prevent George Bush's judicial nominations from getting a vote.. (don't forget, they're not voting them down, they are PREVENTING any vote at all) let's hear it for democracy in the democratic party..

religion on the rant..
for anyone who enjoys a taste of saturday morning darkness on the ticket, this is what i wrote to gordo during some of his religion discussions the other saturday morning - and his response..
----------------------------------------
I read the whole thing!

g k- as i'm listening to my favorite radio show this morning, i felt compelled to write a couple of things..
never truly understanding whether you're discussing a subject from a personal viewpoint or from the other side of it, i figured it would be worth a second of bandwidth to discuss Christianity..
i understand you're the son of a baptist minister and i'm sure you understand the basis of Christianity -that all salvation is through the son of God and the price he paid on the cross..however, it never hurts to revisit that discussion.
all mankind falls short of the glory of God. this goes all the way back to the garden of eden. once sin was introduced, there was a chasm between man and God. how do you reconcile sin with a just and perfect God ?? you cannot, unless God provides a path to forgiveness. God did that in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. a perfect man had to die to reconcile the gap between mortal, sinful man and a perfect and just God.
i think this is why most people have a sense of dislike and fear of the Bible being the inerrant inspired word of God. if so, it creates a dilemma for the intelligent human. 'i'm too smart to buy in to this whole deity thing.. ' pretty common these days..
a point you just made was that there are really good people who are not believers and really bad people who are.. and that is right. the unfortunate thing is that those really good people, by denying the path to their salvation, will fall short of heaven. those really bad people, through their faith in Jesus, will find it.. even if it is by hair on their chinny chin chin... (did i just say that ?) There are no works that can get you to heaven. There is only one way and that is through the grace of God and the blood of his son Jesus Christ.
just like the bible, we can argue whether this is fair and right in your mind.. however, if you are a Christian, you understand there is only one path to heaven- Christ.
if you look at the bible, there is nothing that has been proven inaccurate in that book. from babylon to ninevah, to the passover - things that were argued as myth have been proven right every time..
if you look at the sermon on the mount, the book of daniel.. look at what was talked about way back then concerning the dispersion and regathering of the Jews. more fantasy, said to not be taken as prophetic truth, but as an allegory to the church or to another time. . we're watching the regathering of the Jews to their homeland before our eyes. this is the match to the fig tree parable from Jesus. Israel is the prophetic timeclock for God. As the Jews are his chosen people, all of his revelations to man come through the Jews.
the Bible can be used justify just about anything based on the 'interpretation' of the words in it. i think that is where the view that the bible is the paper to see the 'invisible man' is a wrong assumption. if you don't take the Bible as the inspired word of God and you start making your own interpretations of the events, it can be twisted any way you want it. if you take a common sense view of the Bible at face value, you get the message.
concerning the gay issue you're discussing - we all fall short of the glory of God. that is why we have the blood of Jesus to forgive our sins. Christians should take a stand against sin in all facets in life.. we all fall short of our responsibilities in this area. not just gays or any other specified group i do feel that Christians can take an exclusive path to spreading the gospel.. being judgmental. it's a difficult path in some instances. human nature is to want to be better than the next guy.. we should instead all understand that we all fall short of the glory of God and worry less about how we size up against our neighbor. Jesus' last words before ascending to heaven said to love your neighbor as yourself and to trust in him (Jesus) as your path to the Father. i think that a lot of Christians can do a better job of the first. that being said, accepting sinful behavior isn't something that can be reconciled.
the difference in your example between divorce and being gay is that there is actual scriptural basis for a divorce. i think a better argument would be pre-marital sex v gay sex. there is no difference. divorce happens once or twice or in liz taylors case, a bunch of times.. but it's not a daily act of defiance or sin. premarital and homosexual sex is. it's living in defiance. we all make mistakes, we all work to be better people, but we'll never get it right.. but we can never stop trying.
i think it's an exciting time to be alive - all of these things unfolding before our eyes.. Israel, the reunification of europe, the United States making strong moral stands on issues. it's exciting !!
hope you have a great weekend !
take care,

a total iraqi failure..
i was reading the headlines a moment ago and it sure sounds like this whole iraqi voting thing is going to be a waste of time.. no one over there wants elections, no one feels safe.. there are too many factions that can't get along for this to work.. too many bombings and shootings and trips to paradise for would be allahphytes.. then i ran across this nugget..
http://washingtontimes.com/world/20050119-101413-1954r.htm
now, i don't know about you, but his sure doesn't sound like the iraq i hear and read about every day.. i decided to go back and check the cnnmsnbcabcnewscbsnews.coms of the world and i didn't even find a mention of it. so i went to the newyorktimeslatimeswashingtonpost.coms of the world and found nary a mention of it there either..
to me, this is wonderful progress. i would presume this is newsworthy for americans.. we are afterall funding the rebuilding of iraq and this whole democratic situation.. this sure looks like a positive step forward to me.. why in the world would we not want to report on it..
odd.
it seems to go along with the assessment that LTC Tim Ryan had of the iraq situation.. he's in iraq.. his thoughts are here: LTC Thoughts
who's pulling for who in this darn thing.. seems like we have a bunch of americans who say that in the best interest of americans we want to see more americans dead.. that just doesn't make sense.. of course, all of the blue state bluster doesn't make sense either.. and alas we have our answer.

and in other presidential news..
it's starting to look like the georgia blowhard, jimmy carter, has ties to the un oil for food scandal.. now how this fine upstanding pillar of the democratic party (who shared his seat at the dnc convention with michael moore) could get tied up in such a thing is simply astounding. ** link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42464
we certainly would not be led to believe that all of his anti george bush vitriol and all of his iraq war grandstanding might be linked to the fact that he had been working to keep saddam in power all along.. very interesting, jimmy. somehow or another jimmy found time for this in between observing that the us elections are rigged and the ones he monitors in 3rd world countries are certified. jimmy, be quiet. go softly into the night..
the worst president in the history of my lifetime keeps sliding down his own slippery slope..

God Bless America
say what you want about george w bush, but i'm glad he's the guy in the oval office. he possesses something that most politicians don't.. balls. it's good to see someone leading our country that isn't so concerned about what other people think that he is paralyzed and can't take action.. in the sea of PC nonsense, we have someone who, for the most part, will call a spade a spade.
so, on happy inauguration day to everyone !! and God bless America !!

a boxer & a kennedy
these two jokers.. aww shucks..
this duo of barb and teddy are certainly 'blue bloods' from their respective 'blue states'
how anyone in either ma or ca vote for these kids is beyond me.. i mean, to hear teddy talk about the president 'drowning out' people during his speech on TV back on 1/14.. amazing. not that teddy isn't an expert on drowning out.. but come on. and don't his speech writers remember how teddy drowns out people ?? maybe the president should take his advice.. and this boxer cat.. are you kidding me ?? how she's even allowed to talk in public confounds me.. even more confounding is why anyone would listen. her nonsense of grandstanding on the count of electoral votes because of ohio irregularities combined with her berating of condi rice today.. disgraceful. condi has done more for this country than boxer will ever hope to do.. her hypocrisy is sickening. as if kennedy talking about other people doing the drowning wasn't bad enough.. but, i guess when you have no pride, being a disgrace is not such a big deal. further evidence that ca & ma are not high on my places to live.. (as if any more was needed)
today, i saw john kerry talking about how his election was stolen and how black voters in ohio were made to stand in line 11 hours to vote.. john kerry, please go back to windsurfing and spending the money your wife got from her dead republican husband after he was killed.. man, there is nothing like marrying a billionaire, having him die off just so you can go marry a senator on the other side of the aisle.. good plan for that 'continental african.' john, you lost. have some self pride.. go gently into the night. i can only hope that he doesn't grow a beard and pound on podiums like our little buddy al gore did. (and hopefully there are no more pictures taken of him either trying to throw or catch a football)
go deep, john.. keep going..

did you know..
well, it's a shame that 2004 is over because along with the absurd events of that year - we might have the most absurd of them all early in 2005..
let's review 2004's top 10 events that shaped the world:
1. Janet Jackson went rogue and flashed a nipple at the superbowl..
2. Janet's brother (?) Michael decided it would be a good idea to feed young boys booze and show them how to masturbate..
3. John Kerry and John Edwards became the 'hair' ticket and between one of them dressing as a teletubby and the other primping in front of the camera, the majority of America felt that they weren't how we wanted to be represented..
4. The ACLU continued their assault on the 10 Commandments and support of NAMBLA. (for those of you not in the know, nambla = north american man/boy love association.) mikey jackson is a charter member. vomit..
5. The media determined that making iraqi prisoners into naked cheerleader pyramids was more of an abuse than beheading women and men, mass graves, gassing your own citizens and genocide.. Good call.
6. The blue part of the country outwardly cheered for more American deaths in Iraq so that they could set up their islamo loving, america hating, gay obsessed socialist utopia.. they're still trying to figure out why they lost the election. (i bet they've had a focus group or two)
7. 4 hurricanes hit florida, transforming the sunshine state into the second largest natural disaster of the year..
8. The red sox and patriots are world champs at the same time.. further proof of the impending apocalypse.
9. BUSH WINS !!! THE WORLD FALLS OFF IT'S AXIS..
10. the world really does fall off it's axis because of earthquake 9.0 in indonesia.. and i thought quake 3 was the last one released..
so, for the new year.. did you hear...
it's the UNITED STATES that caused the tsunami.. some covert nuclear test that the american's and jews were doing.. just to cause a tsunami that would kill a lot of people in the most populated muslim country, indonesia. that bit of breaking news is brought to you by our friends at al jazeera.. sponsored by miller lite, half the calories of bud lite. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42271

a sad tsunami update..
apparently my worldwide news sources were not complete - the unfortunate guy shown in the picture listed in yesterday's post DID NOT make it to safety..
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004601615,00.html
that article says they found his body half a mile inland. there seems to be some conjecture that helmut, the guy taking the photographs, should have jumped in to help the guy.. now, i'm not sure at what point compassion is to outweigh common sense, but i think it's safe to say that ol' helmut would have been death # 122,091 if he would have hopped in that torrent to try to save that kid. the whole thing is just tragic. more reasons to vacation in the mountains.

tsunami, twoswami...
are you kidding me ? so i sign up to do a blog and it takes the better part of 9 months for me to post my second entry. i'm not sure this is what they had in mind when they truncated weBLOG to be this trendy new thing..
concerning this tsunami episode of the other day, i guess i'm glad to live in the great big state of texas where the closest thing we get to earthquakes and tsunamis are hailstorms and a random tornado.. wait. is that a better deal ?? we did afterall just survive the great blizzard of 2004... back to the wave pool, just so you know, when all the ocean water starts to head out to sea -revealing the ocean floor, that's a sure sign to haul your sunburnt tail away from the beach.. does no one watch the discovery channel ?? geesh..
check out this picture..
http://www.pbase.com/issels/image/37884488/large
it doesn't appear as if this person saw that discovery episode either. fortunately, my worldwide news sources have confirmed he lived through this experience. speaking of that - that digital camera can sure deliver some high res detail.. click on 'original' at the bottom to see the full high res version. technology is cool.
What isn't cool is that collective group of whiners at the UN. I see that they have decided to call the US stingy with the amount of money we're contributing to the disaster relief. It would suit me fine if we'd stop funding that mickey mouse organization and send all of those self important, blustery beurocrats back to their third world countries so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. Kofi, that means you. I hear there are some jangaweed folks that would like to convert you to islam in the nicest way possible.
speaking of islam, i see that today the islamic world has once again called for the killing of all jews.. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=74347 as if that wasn't quite enough, there were some islamo-chefs who decided to carve up some imam julienne in pakistan.. all because that imam had something nice to say about peace.. they sliced and diced their way thru him and left him in the street for all to enjoy. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42148 so altruistic of them.. and we thought the culture war was between the FCC and Viacom.
back to the tsunami news, there is a cool blog with lots of good links for video - it's here: http://jlgolson.blogspot.com/2004/12/tsunami-video.html. guess i'm going to have to postpone that trip to the maldives.

speaking of islam, i see that today the islamic world has once again called for the killing of all jews.. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=74347 as if that wasn't quite enough, there were some islamo-chefs who decided to carve up some imam julienne in pakistan.. all because that imam had something nice to say about peace.. they sliced and diced their way thru him and left him in the street for all to enjoy. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42148 so altruistic of them.. and we thought the culture war was between the FCC and Viacom.
back to the tsunami news, there is a cool blog with lots of good links for video - it's here: http://jlgolson.blogspot.com/2004/12/tsunami-video.html. guess i'm going to have to postpone that trip to the maldives.

day one of blogging..
Day one of blogging.. so, let me get this right, i get to type what is on my mind, hit publish and off it goes for people to read. outstanding. more people need to read what i have to type anyway. so, here it is, 9:26pm on a sunday night.. i'm at work covering a 24/7 schedule put in place by the recently fired CIO of Gateway computers.. There is something inherently wrong with leaving work after working for 12 hours and subsequently returning to work on the same day to repeat the process. but hey, in my youth i liked to sleep the day away.. now that i'm a working soul, i get to do it all over again... ugh..
