I Remember Yogi Berra

I do not recall where I read it,  heard it, or saw it.  But I remember the story.  It was a warm Summer day.  Yogi Berra was wearing a stylish and comfortable Summer suit. Someone complimented him.  I don't know if it was a man or a woman.  The person said to Yogi:  "Hey Yogi, you really look cool in that suit."  Berra responded:  "Thanks a lot, you don't look so hot yourself!"

Freedom Costs Preparation

Freedom costs preparation. Preparation? Yes, preparation. If one wants to enjoy freedom, he or she must prepare for it , because freedom and ignorance do not blend.

"Do Unto Others" And Abortion

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,"  in my view, is one of the greatest quotes ever made.  It was made in Matt. 7:12.  It is known as the "golden rule."  It is hard to beat as a reasonable guideline for how to live.  Yes.  Regarding the golden rule and abortion, I have one question for a pro-abortionist.  If you were a developing human being in the womb of your mother, (as you once were) would you like your life ended? You might answer by saying, "considering, I did not have a will, I was not really a person."  Really?  If you were not a person then, how could you be a person now?  You were given a chance at life.  Why would you want to deny someone else a chance to have the same?  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Same Gender Marriage ?

I wrote the following letter several days ago as a result of a photo/sign that I saw on top of a  rainbow painted house.  Two gay men were holding up a sign that said " Marriage equality and justice for all."  I am aware of what the sign means.  I just do not agree with it.  Same gender marriage is not good for the country.  Also, someone had sent in a picture of a cow with a caption that said "I will give you six cows for your daughter so that I may marry her."  The purpose of that was to equate old fashioned thinking with marriage being between a man and a woman.  Is homosexuality/lesbianism something new?  No.  Is it wrong?  Yes.  Who said so?  God said so.


"Equality and justice for all? the poster needs to properly define its terms. Men and women are not equal. If they were equal they would be physically built the same. Men would have breasts that would have the potential to give milk. Women would have testicles. Men could get pregnant. And the list goes on. Marriage is for men and women, and no amount of political activism will change the truth that has existed since time has begun. All of the cultural and flexible connections to marriage such as dowries, engagement, courtship, and even elopement do not change the universal truth that marriage is between a man and a woman. I refuse to hate. I refuse to call someone unkind names. I also refuse to accept same-gender marriage as valid. God created/invented/started marriage in the Garden of Eden between a man and a woman. If you are a proponent of same-gender marriage, you are disagreeing with God and telling Him you have a "better" way. Please read Paul's Epistle to the Romans Chap. 1, verses 24 to 32."

Three Quotes About Labor

"Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital." Henry George (1839-1897)

Gavin Grimm: Boy Or Girl?

Gavin Grimm is a girl who wants to use the boys' restroom at school. Get a life Gavin. Take the cards you were dealt at birth and use them to excel. Use them to grow. Use them to do great things. You must not be a liar. To live as, and pretend to be a man is futile. It is a lie. Please do not be a liar. Be a woman of destiny. Study. Develop moral parameters from a source that is tried and true. Do not get caught up in the political correctness mentality. You are being used for motives that are not pure. They are not righteous. You are a female. Stay away from the ACLU. They are poison. They want to poison you. To be so adamant about wanting to use the boys' restroom is such a waste of time, talent and resources
