OK let me get this right:
A KNOWN radical suicide wacko, gets an explosive device through TSA screening, onto a plane, and sets it off where it apparently failed. The passengers on the plane discover his attempt and jump him, thereby rescuing the plane from disaster.
Then Janet Napolitano makes an official statement that the government "security system worked as it should have."
Remember this is the same Secretary of Homeland Security regarding illegal aliens, that said; "show me a 20 foot fence and I will show you a 21 foot ladder." She effectively said she feels that illegal aliens cannot be stopped.
So tell me again, WHY ARE WE PAYING HER?
What kind of insane government does not replace a person so successfully failing the office they fill? Get me almost any hard working American on the topic, and he will reply; "Then build a 23 foot fence!" The point is, if you believe nothing can be done about securing our borders, then you do not belong in the office of Secretary of Homeland Security!
Now she thinks the security system worked like it was supposed to, even though the security system accomplished nothing in slowing this terrorist.
So Ms. Napolitano, just what did the system do that it was supposed to? molest innocent Americans trying to board a plane?
Since this is the Secretary of Homeland Security, I suggest we listen to her when she has told us clearly that stopping terrorists is not what Homeland Security is supposed to do!
So just what is Homeland Security SUPPOSED to do? Anyone? Anyone?

Christmas Day 2009
Post 045
I am sitting at my desk in my small attic office, looking out the tiny window at a gentle snowfall as light breaks on Christmas Morning 2009.
I am drinking hot chocolate and listening to Bing Crosby Christmas music in the background. There is a fire in the wood stove and I am comfortably warm.
All is at rest. I am at peace in my soul.
When I think of all the terrible suffering going on in the world TODAY, I realize fully that my life is very good!
All my life, for reasons I do not understand, I have always loved winter, and am most thrilled when it is actually snowing heavily. I remember in my youth I was always thrilled to be on some “Most Difficult” ski run of some ski resort and it would begin snowing so hard I couldn’t see far. I would stop and stand there just looking around in wonder. I was always conflicted with the knowledge that I was so touched, but not knowing why.
I love riding my sled (Alaskan for snowmobile) in the back country through snow so heavy you can't see the trees let alone the trail, then stop, turn off the sleds and just watch it snow. I love how it makes sounds so muffled and quiet. How the thick air makes your world seem so small. I think I like winter because I actually have the spirit of Christmas all winter long, and Christmas day is all that much more!
For me Christmas day is what the entire winter is all about. Up to Christmas it is all about the anticipation of the happy times with family and friends, and after Christmas it is all about the great memories of all the Christmases that have been. Without the day of Christmas there would be no Christmas season.
The Bible is just like that. The entire bible before Christ is all about the anticipation of his coming. The entire bible after Christ is all about the memorial of who he is and what he did.
Today as the world I know dissolves around me into certainly less pleasant times, I can cast off my concerns of our country and its future, for one day, and experience fully the Joy of knowing that God is still in control and no event is a surprise to Him.
I think about that stuff on Christmas day, and thank God for sending me the Savior of my soul.
What do you think about on Christmas day?

Christmas?
Post 044
I just finished watching the animated movie called "Polar Express" for the first and only time. I thought the animation was amazing, the camera angles, the texture, all fantastic.
But the story?
Disturbing.
The entire story was all about making a god of Santa Clause. The poor kid does not believe in Santa, and finds himself on a quest to find faith.
Now I know your reaction; "Give me a break, it is just a cute story!" you say.
Really?
How come Santa Clause didn't get his own holiday? Why hijack the day we celebrate the birth of the Messiah whom by the way, came to save the world? But this movie went even further. Santa is no longer just a happy mythical representative of the season to those who have rejected the Christ, he has now actually claimed the seat of him in whom we should have faith. He has replaced the focus of faith.
The law makers of our nation meticulously eradicate all things Christian from the holiday, leaving the seat empty, so now we offer our children the option of having faith in Santa. If you were God, would you find this replacement harmless?
"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him" signed: GOD - Hebrews 10:38.

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the Untied States against all enemies foreign and domestic."
So how is that working out?

Flea Farts - episode #6
Post 042
Do you really believe flea farts can change the temperature of the dog? A satirical dissertation on Global Warming.
* * *
Our good citizen JQ Flea got to pondering one day as he ran into Al-Flea at the Copenhagen climate summit;
“Al-Flea” JQ called out, “I just heard some disturbing news that your emails were hacked, is everything OK?”
“Thanks for your concern JQ” responded Al-Flea, “Not to worry, there was no harm done.”
“But the report is, that you guys have been falsifying your numbers all through this Canine Warming concern!” cried JQ.
Al-Flea Replied; “We prefer to call it ‘Climate Change’ now JQ.”
“Ya, OK, whatever, but what about the numbers?!” urged a very concerned JQ Flea, “I have spent all I have, and put my family through some very uncomfortable ‘green’ changes to try to save the dog! Our whole Flea nation has gone broke over this! Is it all a big scam!?”
“Of course not!” replied Al-Flea, looking a bit irritated, “The numbers don’t mean anything. They are merely the means we need to use to get all the fleas of the dog to unite in this important Cause.”
“BUT IF THE NUMBERS ARE NOT TRUE, THEN THERE IS NO CANINE WARMING!” yelled JQ Flea.
“Don’t be silly JQ” calmed Al-Flea, “Of course there is ‘Climate Change’. Random numbers don't affect the temperature of the dog.”
“OH” sighed JQ Flea, “There for a minuet I thought you were trying to pull a fast one on us.”
