Hi,
The secular approach is being rewarded in huge amounts with new books like Bill Clinton's memoirs ($12M) and Hillary Clinton's memoirs (8M). Does this sound like a resounding OBITUARY FOR BOOKS OR WHAT?????????
The Clintons' secular attitudes and approach to living encircle their "PROGRESSIVE" reality of what this society should become. It is a whole different SOCIETY than most citizens understand. It has nothing to do with the American Dream, the American Consitution or the American faith in God. IT HAS ITS ROOTS IN SECULAR LIFE, A SOCIALIST VIEW OF THE WORLD, AND A NEW KIND OF WORLD ORDER FOR AMERICA.
Leaders with highly secular attitudes reflect the attitudes of most Communists in their disparaging of religion and the "myths" that they perceive and reject AS confusing to many citizens. These views have created a resounding battle between the "have faith" and "have-not faith" groups and caused illogic in many areas of society including politics.
This battle has also created a huge economic market both promoting and condeming secular thinking and creating all sorts of media seeking to fill that empty base in the human psyche. There are books, games, tapes, videos, movies, sports etc. ad infinitum to either discuss, explore or replace SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY!!!!!!!! It's a big market. WHY????????????????????
Well, in case you hadn't noticed as this Blogger has, man needs more than BREAD ALONE. There is a deep well within man's being that requires nourishing and religion has always answered that need quite brilliantly. However, when secular thought became more prevalent in our society, a lot of the fullfillment was tossed away without a remedy for the hole it left in man's spirit. Secular thinkers at one time believed that the arts could fill the void. However, most of them were too lazy or busy to bother educating the public to new spiritual values. They were too busy educating the population on communism, commerce, technology and secular beliefs.
So what happens when secular leaders don't address an important issue and expect to solve it with the memoirs of secular people????????? THEY FAIL IN THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF MAN'S SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!! They give man BREAD ALONE albeit WITH A FULLFILLING CAREER SO THEY CAN BUY MANY TOYS AND USE THEIR SPARE TIME AS A NEVER ENDING PLAY GROUND. Secular thinkers then THEN WONDER WHY THERE IS ANY DISSATISFACION OR DISCONTENT????????
Man is often OVERWHELMED by the intellectual AND physical ASPECTS OF of ordinary DAY TO DAY LIFE AND ITS CONSTANT UPS AND DOWNS. Although play is a necessary outlet to those frustrations, there is a deeper part of man that was termed the soul by religions. It is in this portion of man's awareness and unwareness that conflict rages between the darkness of life and death and deep concern with the unknown. It is here that spirituality reigns supreme and for centuries religion has answered and fed that need. It has been FATHER AND MOTHER of the inner spirit so that those concerns could be laid down each week on the shoulders of an almighty and powerful force for good.
When secular thinking entered the picture and tore away the fabric of religion, calling it an opiate for the masses and a cause for fools, it disregarded the real needs of the human spirit saying in effect, "Oh, THEY'LL GET OVER IT. IT'S JUST AN ADDICTION LIKE DRUGS."
HAVE YOU NOTICED HILLARY CLINTON'S FACE THESE DAYS????? THAT'S NOT JUST WORRY FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! BILL??????????? well, he's still playing hard to FORGET THE PAST!!!!!!!!!! Hillary can only run around the world for so long before she has to deal with her inner woman.
Essentially the atheists and secular community have IGNORED THE MOST COMMON CONDITIONS OF MAN AND THE NEEDS ENSUING FROM THEM. THIS ALONE HAS TO PREDICT THE FAILURE OF COMMUNISM IN THE ECONOMIC WORLD BUT MORE SO IN THE IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL WORLD WITHIN.
This blogger is a writer and an artist and married her mentor, JIM HOUSER. IT IS HIS INSPIRING AND TRULY SPIRITUAL WORK THAT MAKES EVERY DAY A NEW ONE WORTH PURSUING our LIFE AND WORK ONCE AGAIN. This blogger doesn't wake up feeling lost and alone because she is surrounded by the beauty of a simple, clear view of the world and its elements for which we will be eternally grateful. Elements provided by both man and nature. HIS PAINTINGS OFFER INSIGHT INTO THE INNER BEING THAT IS PART OF US ALL. THIS BLOGGER KNOWS HOW LUCKY SHE IS FOR THAT TOTAL FULFILLMENT and recognizes its source in God and religious teaching that helped make the painter whole.
Secular teaching does not inspire this kind of committment. It does not address that PORTION of man, part CHILD and part ADULT, who is afraid and anxious and has no answers. LOUDLY AND CLEARLY, WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT INNER BEING OR LOSE OUR CIVILIZATION THAT WAS BUILT SO FIRMLY ON FAITH!!!!!!!! IF SECULAR THINKING CAN NOT ACCEPT GOD AS A REALITY THEN IT MUST ADMIT THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A SPIRITUAL REALITY TO FILL THE INNER BEING, IF NOT WITH CONTENTMENT THEN AT LEAST HOPE!!!!!!!!!!
This blogger does not believe that finding a charismatic leader will ever be an adequate substitute any more than providing a constant line of toys and amusements, narcotics and sexual freedoms. THOSE THINGS WEAR OUT QUICKLY AND SOONER OR LATER MAN BECOMES OLD AND UNABLE TO PLAY HARD. TIME TO FACE DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!
THE CHARISMATIC LEADER (MOMMY OR DADDY) EVENTUALLY WILL SHOW THE UNDERBELLY OF HIS/HER OWN BEING and DISILUSIONMENT FOLLOWS. The "fathers" of society like Bill Clinton (AND Barack Obama)may have clay feet OR OTHER BODY PARTS, mired in the most anxious areas of man's SEXUAL concerns. THE SPIRIT WILL NOT BE DENIED!!!!!!!!!
This blogger hopes that whatever your spiritual selection that you will read this with concern for the inner being of those with whom you disagree.

AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION. AMERICA'S STRENGTH AND PROTECTION- POST 107
Hi,
This blogger thinks when honesty is touted as a lie and lying is touted as honesty, we have REACHED A REAL CROSS ROAD IN OUR AMERICAN SOCIETY!!!!!!!!
There's not much doubt out in the American hinterlands ABOUT Congress harboring a number of CSPers (Communist, Socialists, Progressives--different names-same species.) But when Congressman ALLEN WEST had the temerity to tell the press the TRUTH by pointing out 78-81 members were part of a CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS (CSPers) who meet to tell each other how to vote the PARTY LINE!!!!!(WHICH PARTY IS THAT??????) and are Communists, the Communists screamed like wounded mice!!! This blogger SAYS MICE BECAUSE AT LEAST RATS WILL STAND WHEN CONFRONTED AND FIGHT!!!!!!!! MICE HIDE BEHIND WHATEVER THEY CAN FIND AND SCREAM WHEN FOUND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
PLAUDITS TO CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST FOR HAVING THE COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS!!!!!!!!! Too bad there aren't a few more who are BRAVE AND STALWART in Congress but too many of them have bought the propaganda.
In an article against West Edward White RIDICULES "The quacks [this blogger thanks you so much-quack-quack} who scream against socialism either have forgotten or never knew that the rail system built in America, at one time the best in the world, came about because of federal government land grants........" Perhaps Mr. White has forgotten that railroads were funded by RICH MEN AND BIG BUSINESS and built by the sweat of AMERICAN RAILROAD WORKERS' labor and deaths!!!!!!!! Since the government took over the running of the lines, they're no longer the dream of transport they began!!!!
Now this blogger agrees with Mr. White to this extent. Socialism has its uses and kept in check, it can work very nicely with Capitalism such as in Medicare. But the key here is KEPT IN CHECK (when have SOCIALISTS EVER DONE THAT??????) which means we don't need to follow KARL MARX into oblivion.
Following Mr. White's lead and looking BACK at history, he STATES THAT Hitler's atrocities were a poor choice over communism. Few deny Hitler's atrocities as a dictator. He was a MONSTER. But Edwards fails to point out the KNOWN INFLUENCE THAT FRIEDRICH ENGELS AND LEON TROTSKY (YOU KNOW COMRADES OF KARL MARX) HAD ON Hitler. NAZI IS THE GERMAN ABBREVIATION FOR "NATIONAL SOCIALIST" and this was a fight between SOCIALIST SECTS AND THOSE ATROCITIES FOLLOWED PARTY LINE.
VORWÄRTS, the German word for FORWARD, was name of the official daily of the GERMAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, the FOREARM OF THE GERMAN COMMUNIST PARTY and was influential in turning the German people toward a MADMAN SOCIALIST DICTATOR to avoid COMMUNISM. IN ESSENCE WITH A MAJOR DEPRESSION THE GERMAN PEOPLE WERE CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO LYING "MERMAID SIRENS" CALLING THEM TO A ROCKY SHORE TO CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
HERE THIS BLOGGER WILL REMIND YOU THAT THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION WAS CREATED TO AVOID JUST SUCH A CATASTROPHE BY OUR FORWARD THINKING FOREFATHERS. And this blogger also wants to remind you that there has been a CONCERTED EFFORT TO SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROY THAT DOCUMENT, ARTICLE BY ARTICLE OVER THE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!
WHITE also seems to feel that Communism's abusive past is no longer relevent since one should not blame the Economic system for the "wrongs of Government leaders"????????? Puh...........leeze, give this QUACK A BREAK!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT HARDER FOR ME TO SHOOT YOU OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!!! IN COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM, PROGRESSIVISM THE GOVERNMENT LEADERS ARE THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM. IT IS ALL!!!!!!!!!GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!
Perhaps America would do well to change the name of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY because all of this history might TARNISH ITS IMAGE. Particularly since the erstwhile candidate Obama has called his election campaign "FORWARD".
THIS AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS LED BY A MAN WHO SEES HIMSELF AS THE LEADER WHO CAN DO NO WRONG. Is that the SIGN OF SOMEONE WHO COULD BECOME A DICTATOR. This blogger certainly hopes not. But using HISTORY AGAIN SHOWS THAT IT IS OFTEN A FATAL SIGN.
It is also interesting that the initials of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) could stand for "COMMUNIST PROGRESSIVE COMRADES"!!!!!!!!! FOWARD----VORWÄRTS----- to THE END OF AMERICA'S FREEDOM AND CONSTITUTION????????????
VOTE IN NOVEMBER FOR CHANGES IN CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION. IT IS A VOTE TO RETAIN OUR CONSTITUION---OUR ONLY PROTECTION AGAINST LIES, LIES, AND DAMN LIES AND OUR ONLY INSTRUMENT OF TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRUSTRATION THY NAME IS CYBER JABBER WACKY. POST 106
Hi,
Economically, the web has been a wonderful opportunity for me to pursue my writing career long after I thought it might be over. I have to say that my appreciation runs long and deep.
However, it does not extend to many of the cyber companies who do business on the web and have hired folks from all over the world to answer their needs. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I'M NOT AGAINST HIRING HELP IN OTHER COUNTRIES. I AM AGAINST THE LANGUAGE BLOCK THAT SEEMS TO EXIST IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. I'm certainly not a linquist and am not apprised of all the problems second and third languages cause. And in my life friendships, I have been fortunate to know some FOREIGNERS who speak and understand extremely well. I have also known a few for whom POINTING would be a better option.
Unfortunately, many web companies seem to hire those for whom POINTING would be THE BEST OPTION. I'm sure they are bright, alert individuals but the second language is for them a HUGE BURDEN which often seems to come to rest on this Blogger's shoulders. I had a German friend one time tell me that although he had learned English in his teens, he still had to translate in his head the English to German and back to English. That's rough and he was a very intelligent gentleman. He was too intelligent to be hired by Cyber firms.
All of these folks hired into cyber jobs often seem to land in the positions of HELP which is obviously not a happy venue. If someone needs HELP, not understanding the accent of the person offering it is to say the least very "off putting". If one does not understand what is causing a problem, adding another problem of a language barrier, seems to this blogger to be A DAMN POOR SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!! And of course, making oneself understood under those circumstances is usually a lost cause that takes on ludicrous proportions over the period of time that both the helper and helpee take to understand that THIS IS GOING NO WHERE!!!!!!!!!!
When the problem exists within a merchandising situation (AND I MUST SAY THAT MANY BIG COMPANIES HAVE WORKED HARD TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THERE) then THE LANGUAGE BARRIER BECOMES LESS COMICAL SINCE THERE MAY BE A GREAT DEAL OF LOSS AT STAKE.
This blogger recently encountered that situation with a publishing company who seem to feel that having anyone other than the administrators exceling in our native language is a definite budget oversight. The email letters have flown back and forth and as you know THIS BLOGGER WRITES FAIRLY CLEARLY AND DIRECTLY but after at least 15-20 emails, WONDERED IF ANYONE IN THE BUSINESS COULD READ!!!!!
The answers received often ignored the information sent and offered unwanted or unneeded answers to the problem. Now this blogger is also not a shy, retiring flower so when FRUSTRATED, THE RHETORIC BECOMES EVEN MORE DIRECT AND ALTHOUGH NOT INSULTING CERTAINLY APPRISING OF THE SITUATION THAT EXISTS.
When this correspondent reaches that FRUSTRATION LEVEL, THE E-MAILS CARRY COPIES TO SUPERVISORS AND CEOs. LOOK THEM UP ON THE WEB--THEY LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU--SO MUCH SO THEY HURRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE!!!!!
You may feel badly bothering these busy and important men but you can always hope that if they hear from enough customers, they will REPLACE THE PERSONNEL MANAGER with someone who will hire folks with A GOOD COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND ONLY A SLIGHT ACCENT SO THAT COMMUNICATION IS possible!!!!!!!!!
This blogger is aware that there are often HIGHLY PRIZED AND COMPETANT SOFTWARE COMPANIES who use this kind of HELP ON THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS as a SELLING TOOL!!!!!!!!! HOW????????? Oh, come on!!!!!!!! Even if you think they're the greatest thing since PIZZA, how easy is it to FRUSTRATE FOLKS IF YOU REALLY TRY??????????? PRETTY EASY WHEN IT'S MATERIAL NEW TO THEIR INTELLECT!!!!!!!!! and once frustrated, HOW EASY IS IT TO SELL THEM COURSES IN SAID SOFTWARE??????
The phrase for that kind of ease used to BE DUCK SOUP!!!!! Not sure why but I guess Duck Soup was easier to make than most other soups. OKAY. THEY CHARGE A LOT FOR THE SOFTWARE THEN THE COMPANY CAN ASSURE THEMSELVES OF DOUBLING, TRIPLING, OR MONSTER MAGNIFYING THEIR PROFITS WITH COURSES THAT PARTICULARLY LARGE COMPANIES ARE GLAD TO FUND SINCE THEY CAN DEDUCT IT from TAXES AND USE THAT MONEY TO HIRE FOREIGN HELP!!!!!!!!!!
What a SUPER set-up a little UNSUPPORTED FRUSTRATION can engender. This blogger had a lovely conversation some months ago about a new program after calling "HELP ME PLEASE, I'M GOING BATTY". A very polite and ALMOST ARTICULATE LAD FROM INDIA COMPLIMENTED me ON MY SENSE OF HUMOR, THEN very politely fabricated a story about the problem I FACED, AND SAID IT COULDN'T BE RESOLVED AND THANKED ME FOR CALLING!!!!!!!!
ONCE THIS BLOGGER FOUND A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, calling that nice, polite, lying DOOBIE was not available since this is an anonymous, NON FACE UP SERVICE. Besides, would he have CARED TO KNOW how to resove it????????? DOUBTFUL. NOT HIS JOB. His job was to poltely GET RID OF THE CALLER WHO SHOULD FEEL THANKFUL FOR THE HELP.
A different instance of the NON FACE UP HELP available these days was done by a stand up English speaking American on the phone at a large national bank. Needing a simple transfer of funds, the caller after giving varying information was asked for a social security number. When refused, the questioner responded with what he called an account number which was the social security number. He had broken the law both by asking and by giving it over the telephone. When the caller complained to the local branch, the national bank office called about the complaint and the upshot: WE CAN'T HAVE CONTROL OVER ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ANSWER THE PHONE FOR US?????????????????? SAME ANSWER AS FOR THE MORTGAGE CRISIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure, this world is going through a BIG TRANSISTION with TECHNOLOGY as this blogger has stated many times--IT IS A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION. The problem seems to be that PEOPLE STILL EXIST. WE HAVEN'T REPLACED THEM WITH ROBOTS AS YET!!!!!!!!!! AND THOSE PEOPLE NEED HELP WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY AS WELL AS THE REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!
FRUSTRATION AT ANY LEVEL CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS HELP! Replacing genuine helpers with lack of understandable communication, JABBER WACKY, FAQs consuming hours to pursue, polite and genial liars, or any other ARTIFICIAL METHOD is FRUSTRATION PERSONIFIED AND SHOWS A LACK OF RESPECT AND CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE FUELING THE PROFIT MARGIN TECHNOLOGY IS STRADDLING!!!!!!!!!
SO, THIS BLOGGER IS STARTING ANOTHER MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!! Send your questions to the CEO of each software or other company and just MAYBE THAT ESTEEMED PERSONAGE WILL GET THE MESSAGE TO DO SOMETHING REALISTIC FOR HIS CUSTOMERS AND GET THEM OFF HIS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL IT WORK?????????????

"DON'T THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE WASH WATER"
POST 105
Hi,
This blogger was taught to never discuss religion or politics in polite??????????company. Whatever polite company was encountered over the years turned out to be rooted traditionalists. Traditional is not a dirty word. It is part and parcel of what all of us seek, some sooner, some later. But it is not only youth who want to throw the "baby out with the wash water" and traditionalism out with modernism.
Many of the traditional delights of living are built around holidays, some religious, some political, some emotional. These things are often the social sides of religious faith and patriotism. As modern living has evolved these attitudes have come under fire as old fashioned, poisonous, ritualistic, costly, ineffectual and irrational by the New Atheists and One-Worlders.
Is it just this blogger's view or do people these days feel that they have to destroy the "best of something" in order to present a new theory about it?????????? Or is it just any cohesive force is just plain SCARY to those outside the group. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!! IF WHAT YOU ARE PETITIONING FOR IS STRONG AND RIGHT, IT CAN STAND THE ESTABLISHED COMPETITION!!!!! Take a simple proof. THE INTERNET which has all but defeated ENTRENCHED media in all forms PERHAPS TO OUR DETRIMENT.
Suddenly the media including the Internet is beginning to hear from dedicated atheists that religion has PERHAPS SERVED A PURPOSE IN SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!FANCY THAT. Religion is being cited as having had a cohesive effect that brings out the BEST IN PEOPLE by PROMOTING MORALITY, HONESTY, INSPIRATION, LOVE, AND GRATITUDE.
ALAIN de BOTTON, whom this blogger finds to be a bright light among MODERN PHILOSOPHERS, has written a book called "Religion for Atheists" in which he finds that many who are "left cold by doctrines of the Christian Trinity and the Buddhist Eightfold Path...." may "at the same time be interested in the ways in which religions deliver sermons, promote morality, engender a spirit of community, make use of art and architecture, inspire travels, train minds, and encourage gratitude at the beauty of spring."
de Botton states that "The error of modern atheism has been to overlook how many aspects of the faiths remain relevant even after their central tenets have been dismissed.”
It is interesting as well that in modern times ONE-WORLDERS fail to understand the sense of NATIONAL COMMUNITY NECESSARY FOR CITIZENS TO PRODUCE AND THRIVE. It is all well and good to want to extend a hand to the world but WHO IS THERE TO SHAKE IT OR SALUTE IT, AS THE CASE MAY BE.
WE ARE INDEED ALL PART OF THE WORLD BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY PART OF A FAMILY, A NEIGHBORHOOD, A COMMUNITY, A TERRITORY, AND A NATION. THESE CATEGORIES ALLOW PEOPLE TO FEEL THE NECESSARY ADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL HARMONY, GROUP EFFORT, AND THE SUCCESS OF ETHICAL AND MORAL CONDUCT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP. THE WORLD IF YOU WILL!!!!! THESE ELEMENTS, BOTH IN RELIGION AND PATRIOTISM, OFFER PEOPLE A CHANCE TO COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT BEING KINSMEN which then extends outwards limitlessly.
As an issue of economics, the rituals of Church and State provide tremendous avenues and REVENUES for the creation of art, music, architecture, science, technology and all the myriad creative efforts that come through a community of peoples working and achieving lasting goals based on both heaven and Earth.
The CREATIVE are MORE OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THOUGHTS OF A HIGHER POWER, A HIGHER INTELLIGENCE, A GREATER GOAL FOR GOOD, for ART THAT WILL WITHSTAND THE TESTS OF TIME AND CHANGE.
THESE EFFORTS HAVE TO BE ROOTED IN WHAT IS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN AS WELL AS WHAT IS DISCOVERED OR INVENTED. THESE EFFORTS DEMAND A COHESIVE SOCIETY which may EVEN be tested by attempting to break it apart to establish its rightness or wrongness by the most creative movers and shakers.
When ONE speaks of the goal of good to all HUMANITY AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF EQUALITY AND GOOD FOR ALL PEOPLES, IT IS PUTTING ONESELF DIRECTLY IN A POSITION OF BEING A HIGHER POWER. None of us can hope to provide that kind of existence without becoming a DEMIGOD and by so doing actually DESTROYING the INTENDED GOOD.
Bringing good to the lives of others is a group effort and the CHURCH AND STATE HAVE certainly stood in the FOREFRONT OF THAT EFFORT FOR A LONG TIME. EACH INDIVIDUAL who BECOMES PART OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN THE EFFORT TO PROMOTE WELL BEING, MAKES THE POSSIBILITIES ENDLESS.
However, DESTRUCTION OF THE BELIEF IN DIVINE JUSTICE IN AN UNJUST WORLD MAY BACKFIRE on those who would do so in the hope of controlling minds for the GREATER GOOD. Sacrifice, bravery in the face of duty, resolve in carrying out odious tasks, all elements of morality, and the invisible ties that bind communities CAN DISAPPEAR ALMOST OVERNIGHT and UNDERMINE ANY EFFORT TO PROMOTE GOOD AND ALLEVIATE POVERTY.
Thus far, those who would promote a destruction of religion and a destruction of patriotism have been fortunate. THEY HAVE, AS THEY SAY, BEAT IT WITH A STICK BUT haven't KILLED IT. The very tenets of both religion and patriotism even among those who deny both have served to maintain a COHESIVE AND STURDY COMMUNITY that if not totally effective is at least shoring up until the THREAT OF ANNIHILATION is DIMINISHED.
This blogger's question has been and will continue to be WHY MUST SOCIETY ALWAYS DESTROY THE GOOD WITH THE BAD?????????? The attitude of the New Atheists in reluctantly admitting some good in Religion may just be a step in the right direction!!!!!!!! Let's see if the One-Worlders can open up to the idea of the good in patriotism!!!!! We can hope so.
Cheers, Connie

ALAIN de BOTTON, whom this blogger finds to be a bright light among MODERN PHILOSOPHERS, has written a book called "Religion for Atheists" in which he finds that many who are "left cold by doctrines of the Christian Trinity and the Buddhist Eightfold Path...." may "at the same time be interested in the ways in which religions deliver sermons, promote morality, engender a spirit of community, make use of art and architecture, inspire travels, train minds, and encourage gratitude at the beauty of spring."
de Botton states that "The error of modern atheism has been to overlook how many aspects of the faiths remain relevant even after their central tenets have been dismissed.”
It is interesting as well that in modern times ONE-WORLDERS fail to understand the sense of NATIONAL COMMUNITY NECESSARY FOR CITIZENS TO PRODUCE AND THRIVE. It is all well and good to want to extend a hand to the world but WHO IS THERE TO SHAKE IT OR SALUTE IT, AS THE CASE MAY BE.
WE ARE INDEED ALL PART OF THE WORLD BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY PART OF A FAMILY, A NEIGHBORHOOD, A COMMUNITY, A TERRITORY, AND A NATION. THESE CATEGORIES ALLOW PEOPLE TO FEEL THE NECESSARY ADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL HARMONY, GROUP EFFORT, AND THE SUCCESS OF ETHICAL AND MORAL CONDUCT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP. THE WORLD IF YOU WILL!!!!! THESE ELEMENTS, BOTH IN RELIGION AND PATRIOTISM, OFFER PEOPLE A CHANCE TO COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT BEING KINSMEN which then extends outwards limitlessly.
As an issue of economics, the rituals of Church and State provide tremendous avenues and REVENUES for the creation of art, music, architecture, science, technology and all the myriad creative efforts that come through a community of peoples working and achieving lasting goals based on both heaven and Earth.
The CREATIVE are MORE OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THOUGHTS OF A HIGHER POWER, A HIGHER INTELLIGENCE, A GREATER GOAL FOR GOOD, for ART THAT WILL WITHSTAND THE TESTS OF TIME AND CHANGE.
THESE EFFORTS HAVE TO BE ROOTED IN WHAT IS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN AS WELL AS WHAT IS DISCOVERED OR INVENTED. THESE EFFORTS DEMAND A COHESIVE SOCIETY which may EVEN be tested by attempting to break it apart to establish its rightness or wrongness by the most creative movers and shakers.
When ONE speaks of the goal of good to all HUMANITY AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF EQUALITY AND GOOD FOR ALL PEOPLES, IT IS PUTTING ONESELF DIRECTLY IN A POSITION OF BEING A HIGHER POWER. None of us can hope to provide that kind of existence without becoming a DEMIGOD and by so doing actually DESTROYING the INTENDED GOOD.
Bringing good to the lives of others is a group effort and the CHURCH AND STATE HAVE certainly stood in the FOREFRONT OF THAT EFFORT FOR A LONG TIME. EACH INDIVIDUAL who BECOMES PART OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN THE EFFORT TO PROMOTE WELL BEING, MAKES THE POSSIBILITIES ENDLESS.
However, DESTRUCTION OF THE BELIEF IN DIVINE JUSTICE IN AN UNJUST WORLD MAY BACKFIRE on those who would do so in the hope of controlling minds for the GREATER GOOD. Sacrifice, bravery in the face of duty, resolve in carrying out odious tasks, all elements of morality, and the invisible ties that bind communities CAN DISAPPEAR ALMOST OVERNIGHT and UNDERMINE ANY EFFORT TO PROMOTE GOOD AND ALLEVIATE POVERTY.
Thus far, those who would promote a destruction of religion and a destruction of patriotism have been fortunate. THEY HAVE, AS THEY SAY, BEAT IT WITH A STICK BUT haven't KILLED IT. The very tenets of both religion and patriotism even among those who deny both have served to maintain a COHESIVE AND STURDY COMMUNITY that if not totally effective is at least shoring up until the THREAT OF ANNIHILATION is DIMINISHED.
This blogger's question has been and will continue to be WHY MUST SOCIETY ALWAYS DESTROY THE GOOD WITH THE BAD?????????? The attitude of the New Atheists in reluctantly admitting some good in Religion may just be a step in the right direction!!!!!!!! Let's see if the One-Worlders can open up to the idea of the good in patriotism!!!!! We can hope so.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE PROTECTION DISORDER. POST 104
Hi,
Representative Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) TOLD us there are only MINOR?????? changes in the Federal Restrict Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011(S.1794) with bill HR347 and he dismissed concerns saying that tests over the changes are "a whole lot of kerfuffle over nothing".
KERFUFFLE--WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO SAY FUSS OR RUDER WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
However much this blogger may enjoy the language, the logic escapes your correspondent because as Congress continues to make minor adjustments to "THIS N'THAT" bill, it causes more and more concern as these seemingly harmless and protective measures continue to erode America's Constitution AND FREEDOMS.
This blogger doesn't fancy having intruders invade the President's bedroom. God forbid a young man in his prime should have to defend his wife. However, this blogger seems to recall that the White House USED TO BELONG TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. AND IT IS NOW OFF LIMITS TO THEM FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES OTHER THAN GUIDED TOURS. Okay it was a necessity caused by DERANGED NUTS but there have always been DERANGED NUTS.
THOSE SAME NUTS GO TO THE THEATRE AS ABRAHAM LINCOLN COULD TESTIFY IF HE HADN'T BEEN SHOT in the THEATRE BY ONE.!!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICA HAS BECOME A RIDICULOUSLY OVER-PROTECTIVE NATION! Yes, it is the job of government to protect the people but short of providing each citizen with an armed guard, this blogger believes that protection was concerned with intrusion from other nations, NOT FROM ARMED NUTS ON THE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS. WE have a SECRET SERVICE FOR THAT (WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN COLUMBIA CONSORTING--TALK ABOUT A KERFUFFLE!!!!!!!!!!!)WE HAVE SKY MARSHALS ON AIRLINES TO STOP NUTS FROM TAKING OVER plus continued STRIP SEARCHING for passengers with DANGEROUS NAIL CLIPPERS so even the most intrepid travelers find AIR TRAVEL unpleasant.
This blogger remembers having auto trouble in Washington and my mate driving off to have it fixed, leaving the three of us on the capitol lawn under a shade tree to picnic while he was gone. Under the present OVER-PROTECTIVE NONSENSE, ONE SUPPOSES THE PICNIC MIGHT BE QUESTIONED ON THE GROUNDS OF CONTEMPLATING MAYHEM!!!!!!!!!!
RIDICULOUS, YES, BUT SO IS A FELONY CHARGE PENALTY UNDER the newly passed P.L. 112.98 (former H.R.347, revising 18 USC 1752) THIS ADDITION passed by both parties this month for violating whatever SACRED SPACE THE LAW CHOOSES TO DESIGNATE when they tweak THE SAME LAW A LITTLE, AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
Frankly, it has reached the point that this blogger would like to suggest CONGRESS pass a bill RESTRAINING CONGRESS FROM PASSING ANY MORE LEGISLATION ON PROTECTIVISM UNTIL THE SWALLOWS REACH CAPISTRANO AS WELL AS RESTRAINING CONGRESS FROM TWEAKING, TWATING, SWATING, OR ATTACHING TO CURRENT LEGISLATION.
JOHN BOEHNER HAS CERTAINLY attempted to keep the Congress from causing MANY more problems and has taken a lot of heat for it. This blogger says HOORAY AND THANKS TO BOEHNER for making Congress have some RESTRAINT!!!!!!!!!!! If he hadn't-think of all the KERFUFFLES THEY MIGHT also HAVE CAUSED.
CNN OPINION IN DISCUSSING the Ted Nugent "THREAT TO SOCIETY??????" AND OBAMA IN PARTICULAR!!!!!!!! ADMITTED THAT NUGENT DID NOT MAKE A LITERAL THREAT (READ THE COMMENTS. This blogger CAN'T EVEN FIND AN UN-LITERAL THREAT (JUST HYPERBOLE) AND A STATEMENT OF NUGENT'S LIKELY OUTCOME) THERE WAS NO THREAT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT NOR DID NUGENT BREAK ANY LAW!!!!!!!!!!SINCE (AND this blogger SAYS THIS QUICKLY IN CASE IN CASE IT DISAPPEARS OVERNIGHT) NUGENT AND AMERICA STILL HAVE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND SPEECH GUARANTEED IN THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!!
By the way CNN stated that "threats against President Obama have jumped 400% over those made against President George W. Bush". Think maybe he's doing more wrong than Bush????????? Maybe A "CHANGE" IN OBAMA POLITICS IS NEEDED RATHER THAN OVER-PROTECTION for him.
Considering that Congress TWEAKED THE ACT OF 2011 WITH HR347 so as to include more SAFETY factors including the President's safety WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT SOME GOOF OUT THERE IN WASHINGTON LA LA LAND IS PREPARING ANOTHER TWEAK soon TO ADDRESS THE KEFAFFLE OF "THE MOTOR CITY MADMAN"????????????? AND WILL CALL IT BILL###BIG MOUTHS SO THAT ALL MOUTHS ARE CLOSED FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! NUGENT WAS SIMPLY EXERCISING HIS RIGHTS UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
You see this kind of OVER-PROTECTIVE MADNESS just builds on itself. It's hard to believe that AMERICANS are only a few generations away from the OLD WEST WHERE MEN WERE MEN AND WOMEN WERE TOO!!!!!!!!! Are we all such WIMPS anymore that we can't stand up to BULLIES, PROTESTORS, AND THE LIKE. Congress certainly needs TO BE looking after our FINANCES RATHER THAN USING PRECIOUS TIME to PASS OVER-PROTECTIVE LAWS FOR WIMPY CANDIDATES AND PUBLIC SERVANTS?????????????
Last week I mentioned Boortz' phrase "Obsessive-Compulsive Compassion Disorder" so this blogger hopes he'll forgive TAKING a page out his book by calling this current protective panic: "OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE PROTECTION DISORDER". Sorry, but it fits so well!!!!!!
ISN'T IT TIME WE GREW UP AS A NATION AND NOTICED THAT IT IS NOT ALL A BED OF ROSES!!!!!!!!!There are a few thorns to be dealt with in human endeavors as well as IN rose bushes. Thugs have existed since TIME BEGAN and they are not nice people who do not care who knows it. Except perhaps the police, who by the way, already are in the business of protecting us from bodily harm. If readers don't think the police can do that then GET A BIG, BIG STICK to WHACK INTRUDERS WHO THREATEN THE SANCTITY OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW POOR IS POOR? HOW RICH IS RICH?post 103
Hi,
Although Google Blog is making my blogger life difficult, I will attempt to publish this week. The problem is I don't like to be coerced into accepting a new browser by them. Changing my browser which is filled with mucho stuff would be like moving my house-not easy.
I received an email that had Neal Boortz' now famous commencement address that had a quote that caught my eye which dealt with this POOR/RICH RATIO we hear so much about. Boortz said this: ......."Speaking of the poor, during your adult life you are going to hear an endless string of politicians bemoaning the plight of the poor. So, you need to know that under our government's definition of "poor" you can have a $5 million net worth, a $300,000. home and a new $90,000 Mercedes, all completely paid for. You can also have a maid, cook, and valet, and a million in your checking account, and you can still be officially defined by our government as 'living in poverty'....." .....
"The Government's own statistics show people who are said to be 'living in poverty' spend more than $l.50 for each dollar of income they claim".......... AND THAT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY PUT IT ON THEIR VISA CARD!!!!!!!!!!!PLUS WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT--THEY HAVE NO JOB AND LITTLE KNOWN INCOME.
As Boortz points out how are the politicians going to get more money for social welfare and the power that goes with that increase without convincing the public of the need. And if counting the income of Social Security recipients and wealthy cash bearing citizens increases the statistics, WELL, WHAT THE HEY, THEY GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Boortz coins a phrase that I wish I'd thought of: "OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE COMPASSION DISORDER" to describe the compassion rush of guilt that Americans suffer from and rush to cure by allowing new social welfare programs, that though harmful to the recipient, bring immense relief to the compassionate giver!!!!!!! Don't you love it?????????
He also had a number of suggestions for the students but several really caught my eye:... "Liars cannot be trusted, even when the liar is the President of the country......" YES, YES, YES TO THAT ADVICE!!!!!!!!! and "speaking of earning, the revered 40-hour work week is for losers.......you don't see highly successful people clocking out of the office every afternoon at five.........." YES INDEEDY NO!!!!!!!!!! And finally...."Free speech is meant to protect UNPOPULAR speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.".......AND THAT ONE IS SOMETHING MOST OF US COULD STAND TO REMEMBER!!!!!!!!
The most interesting part of this idea is the statistics on the poor. Realizing that statistics is a big part of economics, it is alarming to see the negatives of television's favorite type of reporting. The twist and turns and faulty information now used to form many statistics make it difficult to believe any of them.
The above instance of calculating income levels in a community was recently reported in a Florida paper for Martin County AND produced by a HIRED GUN to prove increased housing of some 10,000 HOMES was needed to produce jobs and a rise in the economy. He proved that one of the RICHEST areas in the nation was actually the POOREST!!!!!!!
Why Poor? It's those POOR OLD RETIRED RICH PEOPLE AGAIN PAYING CASH INSTEAD OF INCREASING THE DEBT AND USING THEIR MILLION DOLLAR BANK ACCOUNTS WITH NO job or "KNOWN INCOME"!!!!!!!!! POOR DOOBIES.
Statistics was a great invention for math and economics. You could boil everything down to an acceptable swallow for most folks and give them lots of knowledge with a few figures and maybe a graph or two. Economists probably should have realized that anything so simple just BEGGED FOR NEGATIVE TAMPERING AND BY GOLLY NO DECENT POLITICIAN WITH SPURIOUS INTENT COULD IGNORE THAT CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!
If political candidates don't sway the polls, obviously they are now thought to be doing a bad job of running for office.
This blogger used to tell the kids that lying was a terrible thing because when the TRUTH BECOMES SO BECLOUDED, ONE CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES. ONE CAN'T BE BE SURE THE SUPPOSED TABLE YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEAN UPON IS ACTUALLY REAL. THE LIES PUT you in a MESS of trouble. GUESS WHAT !!!!!!!!! OUR NATION IS IN A MESS OF TROUBLE CAUSED BY LYING POLITICIANS. TRUTH IS OUT THERE BUT IT'S NO LONGER EASY TO FIND. It is TOUGH to hunt down. DON'T LEAN ON THAT TABLE BECAUSE IT'S AN ILLUSION--YOU'LL FALL!!!!!!!IT'S A FICTION, A MIRAGE, A FANTASY.
This blogger advises you to ignore most statisticS, damn statistics, and seemingly harmless statistics. Too often THE STATISTICIAN IS A HIRED GUN LOOKING FOR YOUR VITALS OR TO SELL YOU A PIECE OF REAL ESTATE OUT IN THE OCEAN!!!!!!!! FICTION, MY FRIENDS, PURE FICTION.
Sorry, but until we stop believing in the fantasy, it will continue to grow. And a big hand of applause to Neal Boortz, a Texan who tells it like it is. He further advised the college graduates:... "You need to register to vote,unless you are on welfare. If you are living off the efforts of others please do us the favor of sitting down and shutting up until you are on your own again....."When you do vote, your votes for the House and the Senate are more important than your vote for President. The House controls the purse strings, so concentrate your awareness there.".......
And remember it's a vote AGAINST SOCIALISM AND LOSS OF YOUR FREEDOM that counts.
Cheers, Connie

A GOOD WOMAN KNOWS HER PLACE POST 102
Hi,
This blogger received a 50-60s NOSTALGIC? email today and one photo in particular DEMANDED attention and SLAMMED HOME THE THOUGHT ABOUT WHY WOMEN FOUGHT SO HARD for Women's Liberation in those "GOOD OLD DAYS????????????". The men of THE 50-60s may certainly see the photos as nostalgic but perhaps this blogger should remind women of what they didn't have!!!!!!!!
The article entitled "The Good Wife's Guide", 1955, lays out each point beginning with: Hustle up a good meal-he's hungry; put make-up and a ribbon in hair; be a little more interesting-he's pooped (of course you're not!);be interesting for HIM, he's had a boring day (YOUR DAY WAS SO SCINTILLATING!!!!!!!); Check the house so it's neat and clean and in cool weather build a fire for HIM!!!!!; prepare the kids (OH GOSH, THE AUTHOR FORGOT THE WIFE HAD THOSE TO LOOK AFTER??????????)so they won't annoy him and turn off ALL "OTHER" NOISE MAKING MACHINES!!!!!!!!!!
THE ARTICLE GOES ON TO INSTRUCT WOMEN TO: Be happy to see him AND SMILE big time showing SINCERITY (Darned if I know why under these circumstances??? WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER to HOPE HE STAYS AT THE OFFICE LONGER!!!!!!!!); listen to him and OVERLOOK all his transgressions- IF he evidently enjoys entertainment WITHOUT You--IS LATE for dinner or stays out to eat with no notice--don't question his actions EVEN if HE STAYS OUT ALL NIGHT-HE HAS HIS REASONS--(this blogger JUST BETS HE DOES! Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
THE ARTICLE INSTRUCTS WOMEN NOT TO complain or discuss problems that make him uncomfortable; "Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember (it actually says Remember) HE IS THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE AND AS SUCH WILL EXERCISE HIS WILL WITH FAIRNESS AND TRUTHFULNESS.(Surprised the list didn't command submission to regular beatings which some men relied on to keep the women slaves in order.)
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION HIM" (a direct quote from this knowledgeable source) and FINALLY THE COUP D'ETAT:
**************"A GOOD WIFE ALWAYS KNOWS HER PLACE"**************
Well ladies, how do you like those RULES???????????YEAH, WELL, NEITHER DID THE REST OF THE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER READS A LOT ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF OTHER RACES AND FINDS NOTHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF THE WHITE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
The young women today believe it has always been like this for females. YEAH SURE!!!!!!!!!! Women got the vote IN 1920. You HEARD THAT RIGHT.Not that long ago. WITH THE VOTE, MEN FEARED WOMEN MIGHT ACTUALLY BURN THE RULES!!!!!!!!! However, it wasn't until the late sixties, just after this list of good wife reminders appeared, that EMANCIPATION BECAME COMPLETE as women struck down the old order and presented their own list of rules and THEY MADE THEM HAPPEN RAPIDLY. THE women SLAVES WERE FREED by women at long last!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's all this nostalgia got to do with Economics today???????WELL, THIS BLOGGER SEES THIS as A WARNING BLAST FOR WOMEN TO LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!And change politics and the current economic failures being practiced in this nation
It was during those Helicon days of lists for women that the Washington ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS FIRST GOT TO MESSING AROUND WITH WOMEN AND THEIR BODIES. BY LAW, THAT IS!!!!!!! They decided that most men (WHO WERE IN CONTROL AS PER THE ABOVE STATED RULES) were not sufficiently moral enough to make women have the babies they created with them and allowed their women to have abortions. The upshot, of course, is easy to predict. The legislation condemning abortion and making it a crime put some clean, non risk abortion clinics out of business (ALTHOUGH NOT ACKNOWLEDGED-THEY EXISTED.) This MADE WAY FOR a dirty, germ ridden scenario with no antiseptics to spring up like a black market for abortion. Abortions continued IN WIERD RUN-DOWN CORNER STORES AND TAR PAPER SHACKS WITH CONTAMINATED TOOLS (IF ANY) AT HIGH PRICES AND DISGUSTING CONDITIONS. THIS WAS DURING THE TIME MEN WERE 'MASTER OF THE HOUSE' There was no real provision to care for the needs of poor, DESERTED women.
OKAY, we move forward to Roe v Wade, the litigation women sought to free doctors to produce sanitary conditions for abortion. NOW HEAR THIS!!!!!!!!WHETHER YOU APPROVE OR DON'T APPROVE OF ABORTION IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! In the time of Roe v Wade there was not real consistent PROTECTION against pregnancy and women who got caught out, would seek an abortion. KEEP YOUR MORALS TO YOURSELF UNTIL this blogger FINISHES!!!!!!!!!! Most of these women had not made the strides economically they now possess; they were abandoned (BY THOSE LORD AND MASTERS)and often lived under stern conditions, ostracised from family. There were a lot of other reasons as well if YOU MUST SET YOURSELF UP AS JUDGE AND JURY!!!!!!!!!!
Not content to leave ALONE THIS ISSUE, IT BECAME A NATIONAL POLITICAL FOOTBALL WITH WOMEN AGAIN BEING KICKED AROUND IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. This blogger has said it before and WILL say it again!!!!!!!!!!! POLITICIANS AND THE LAW NEED TO GET OUT OF WOMEN'S LIVES AND LEAVE IT TO THEIR CONSCIENCE AND THE DOCTORS. That also applies to all the SELF RIGHTEOUS BUSY BODIES WHO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO CONDEMN THE SINS OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN.
President Obama is now using the issue of feminism (and I'm sure he's a real authority) as others have done to gain votes for a new way to enslave all of us. The abortion issue is simply an excuse to make women feel that by voting for him, the LORD AND MASTER WILL HELP THEM climb the next rung of the ladder to freedom. RIGHT...........ASK MICHELLE why she isn't President and Barack, second banana??????????
The whole idea of women's problems and needs being decided by anyone other themselves with their doctor's help is anathema that this BLOGGER thought was resolved by a NEW RESPECT, DEFINITION, and CONFIRMATION OF WOMEN as FIRST CLASS CITIZENS during the fight for Women's Rights. Women are not second or third class citizens to TO BE DEFINED BY A MASTER (whether that master be an organized body of men or one man). Shouldn't this generation of women be seeking the continuation, affirmation, and extension of WOMEN'S RIGHTS STARTED BY THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920.
This blogger is wondering when the younger women are going to understand the gift that was passed down to them and GET OFF THEIR LAZY BUTTS AND FIGHT AGAINST POLITICIANS WHO AGAIN WANT TO USE WOMEN TO DO THEIR BIDDING ON ABORTION OR WHATEVER. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!! Tell them to mind their own "BEESWAX" and MIND the American Store on which they've been doing a deplorable job.
WOMEN--GET OUT THERE AND RUN FOR OFFICE, INSTEAD OF SWEEPING UP AFTER THE MALE POLITICIANS and PROVE THAT EVERY WOMAN IS NOT ANOTHER NANCY PALOSI OR SARA PALIN. And above all keep the politicians focused on THE RIGHT BUSINESS OF STATE. AND That's not running women's business for which they have no experience or understanding.
"EVERY GOOD WOMAN SHOULD KNOW HER PLACE! LEADING NOT FOLLOWING!"

The article entitled "The Good Wife's Guide", 1955, lays out each point beginning with: Hustle up a good meal-he's hungry; put make-up and a ribbon in hair; be a little more interesting-he's pooped (of course you're not!);be interesting for HIM, he's had a boring day (YOUR DAY WAS SO SCINTILLATING!!!!!!!); Check the house so it's neat and clean and in cool weather build a fire for HIM!!!!!; prepare the kids (OH GOSH, THE AUTHOR FORGOT THE WIFE HAD THOSE TO LOOK AFTER??????????)so they won't annoy him and turn off ALL "OTHER" NOISE MAKING MACHINES!!!!!!!!!!
THE ARTICLE GOES ON TO INSTRUCT WOMEN TO: Be happy to see him AND SMILE big time showing SINCERITY (Darned if I know why under these circumstances??? WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER to HOPE HE STAYS AT THE OFFICE LONGER!!!!!!!!); listen to him and OVERLOOK all his transgressions- IF he evidently enjoys entertainment WITHOUT You--IS LATE for dinner or stays out to eat with no notice--don't question his actions EVEN if HE STAYS OUT ALL NIGHT-HE HAS HIS REASONS--(this blogger JUST BETS HE DOES! Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
THE ARTICLE INSTRUCTS WOMEN NOT TO complain or discuss problems that make him uncomfortable; "Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember (it actually says Remember) HE IS THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE AND AS SUCH WILL EXERCISE HIS WILL WITH FAIRNESS AND TRUTHFULNESS.(Surprised the list didn't command submission to regular beatings which some men relied on to keep the women slaves in order.)
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION HIM" (a direct quote from this knowledgeable source) and FINALLY THE COUP D'ETAT:
**************"A GOOD WIFE ALWAYS KNOWS HER PLACE"**************
Well ladies, how do you like those RULES???????????YEAH, WELL, NEITHER DID THE REST OF THE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER READS A LOT ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF OTHER RACES AND FINDS NOTHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF THE WHITE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
The young women today believe it has always been like this for females. YEAH SURE!!!!!!!!!! Women got the vote IN 1920. You HEARD THAT RIGHT.Not that long ago. WITH THE VOTE, MEN FEARED WOMEN MIGHT ACTUALLY BURN THE RULES!!!!!!!!! However, it wasn't until the late sixties, just after this list of good wife reminders appeared, that EMANCIPATION BECAME COMPLETE as women struck down the old order and presented their own list of rules and THEY MADE THEM HAPPEN RAPIDLY. THE women SLAVES WERE FREED by women at long last!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's all this nostalgia got to do with Economics today???????WELL, THIS BLOGGER SEES THIS as A WARNING BLAST FOR WOMEN TO LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!And change politics and the current economic failures being practiced in this nation
It was during those Helicon days of lists for women that the Washington ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS FIRST GOT TO MESSING AROUND WITH WOMEN AND THEIR BODIES. BY LAW, THAT IS!!!!!!! They decided that most men (WHO WERE IN CONTROL AS PER THE ABOVE STATED RULES) were not sufficiently moral enough to make women have the babies they created with them and allowed their women to have abortions. The upshot, of course, is easy to predict. The legislation condemning abortion and making it a crime put some clean, non risk abortion clinics out of business (ALTHOUGH NOT ACKNOWLEDGED-THEY EXISTED.) This MADE WAY FOR a dirty, germ ridden scenario with no antiseptics to spring up like a black market for abortion. Abortions continued IN WIERD RUN-DOWN CORNER STORES AND TAR PAPER SHACKS WITH CONTAMINATED TOOLS (IF ANY) AT HIGH PRICES AND DISGUSTING CONDITIONS. THIS WAS DURING THE TIME MEN WERE 'MASTER OF THE HOUSE' There was no real provision to care for the needs of poor, DESERTED women.
OKAY, we move forward to Roe v Wade, the litigation women sought to free doctors to produce sanitary conditions for abortion. NOW HEAR THIS!!!!!!!!WHETHER YOU APPROVE OR DON'T APPROVE OF ABORTION IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! In the time of Roe v Wade there was not real consistent PROTECTION against pregnancy and women who got caught out, would seek an abortion. KEEP YOUR MORALS TO YOURSELF UNTIL this blogger FINISHES!!!!!!!!!! Most of these women had not made the strides economically they now possess; they were abandoned (BY THOSE LORD AND MASTERS)and often lived under stern conditions, ostracised from family. There were a lot of other reasons as well if YOU MUST SET YOURSELF UP AS JUDGE AND JURY!!!!!!!!!!
Not content to leave ALONE THIS ISSUE, IT BECAME A NATIONAL POLITICAL FOOTBALL WITH WOMEN AGAIN BEING KICKED AROUND IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. This blogger has said it before and WILL say it again!!!!!!!!!!! POLITICIANS AND THE LAW NEED TO GET OUT OF WOMEN'S LIVES AND LEAVE IT TO THEIR CONSCIENCE AND THE DOCTORS. That also applies to all the SELF RIGHTEOUS BUSY BODIES WHO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO CONDEMN THE SINS OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN.
President Obama is now using the issue of feminism (and I'm sure he's a real authority) as others have done to gain votes for a new way to enslave all of us. The abortion issue is simply an excuse to make women feel that by voting for him, the LORD AND MASTER WILL HELP THEM climb the next rung of the ladder to freedom. RIGHT...........ASK MICHELLE why she isn't President and Barack, second banana??????????
The whole idea of women's problems and needs being decided by anyone other themselves with their doctor's help is anathema that this BLOGGER thought was resolved by a NEW RESPECT, DEFINITION, and CONFIRMATION OF WOMEN as FIRST CLASS CITIZENS during the fight for Women's Rights. Women are not second or third class citizens to TO BE DEFINED BY A MASTER (whether that master be an organized body of men or one man). Shouldn't this generation of women be seeking the continuation, affirmation, and extension of WOMEN'S RIGHTS STARTED BY THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920.
This blogger is wondering when the younger women are going to understand the gift that was passed down to them and GET OFF THEIR LAZY BUTTS AND FIGHT AGAINST POLITICIANS WHO AGAIN WANT TO USE WOMEN TO DO THEIR BIDDING ON ABORTION OR WHATEVER. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!! Tell them to mind their own "BEESWAX" and MIND the American Store on which they've been doing a deplorable job.
WOMEN--GET OUT THERE AND RUN FOR OFFICE, INSTEAD OF SWEEPING UP AFTER THE MALE POLITICIANS and PROVE THAT EVERY WOMAN IS NOT ANOTHER NANCY PALOSI OR SARA PALIN. And above all keep the politicians focused on THE RIGHT BUSINESS OF STATE. AND That's not running women's business for which they have no experience or understanding.
"EVERY GOOD WOMAN SHOULD KNOW HER PLACE! LEADING NOT FOLLOWING!"
