Middle America's Worldview

John Roberts have been easily confirmed on the floor today. Now we will see if the next (whoever it will be) nominee will be done in a civil matter.

For years, the ACLU has made a fortune by suing and receiving
compensation for attorney fees on cases that they filed--not
just any cases--but cases that impact the Christian faith.

Recently in Nebraska, the ACLU was awarded $156,960 after
a judge overturned an amendment to the Nebraska constitution
defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman--
even though 70 percent of Nebraska voters supported the amendment!

Over the last few years, American taxpayers have given
the ACLU and various pro-abortion organizations upwards
of $6,000,000 in court awards, following the Supreme Court's
decision in which it declared the Nebraska partial birth
abortion ban unconstitutional. These awards have affected
30 states!

This courtroom campaign has netted the
ACLU untold millions, and continues to fuel the group's
insatiable drive to secularize our nation!

So what can grassroots do?

+ + Defund the ACLU now

Recently, U.S. Representative John Hostettler introduced the
Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005 (HR 2679)--legislation
that would prevent secular organizations from collecting attorney
fees after suing communities to remove religious symbols.

The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ is calling on
members of their online team to rally and mobilize at least
100,000 citizen petitions to present to Congress within the
next 30 days, urging lawmakers to support the Hostettler bill.

You can help us expose and defund the ACLU by adding your
name to our petition:

Unless we take a strong stand to end the ACLU's
license to print money, these kinds of attacks on our
rights to publicly acknowledge God will continue to
escalate.

Please sign their petition today!

Thanks for standing with us in the battle to expose and defund the ACLU.


P.S. We really want to move rapidly on this issue! That is why as soon as we reach our 100,000 goal, I will alert my staff to finalize presentation plans to get your petition into the hands of key lawmakers! Please sign the petition

I better do some blogging.

My honey is in bed after a hard day. Kel was up at 4:30 a.m. this morning cleaning the garage, pricing yard sale (for next weekend) and God knows what else.

I actually received Thursday and Friday night sleep without being called for work's on-call. Last night we had our friends over. The kids played in the living room while watching 2 3-d movies, Shark Tale and Lava Boy as well as the new Barbie movie. The adults were in the kitchen chatting. I thought we were to play a board game but they didnt seem to want to do that. So I just basically sat there, trying to keep up and create conversation. (yawn)

Last night as Kel and I went to bed, we discussed going to Fayetteville just to get out for a while. That is exactly what we did. We got up and around (Kel at 4:30 a.m., I around 7 a.m.) and headed over there. Fortunately, I only received one call as I was out (from work) and it wasn't my issue.

We were out all day and thoroughly enjoyed just being out and looking around. When we arrived home, I received like freaking 6 calls from work. I guess they waited till I came home. I carry a cellphone when they need to, as opposed to a text pager. Oh well.

It is now nearly 10:30 p.m. I just finished taking my foot bath. I was the last one to do mine. Kel and the kids did their's before Kel went to bed. Now the kids are getting ready for bed themselves. They want to stay up all night. Yeah, right. I bet they will be asleep within 15 minutes they lay their heads down. : )

It is raining here in Pocola, brought in by Rita the hurricane. It is a welcome temperature fallen from our 100 degree days all week. It will add to good sleeping weather as well.

It's confirmed. A 13 to 5 vote for the confirmation of John Roberts. The 5 nays were Feinstein, Kennedy, Schumer, Durbin, and Biden. No suprises there.

Now next week the vote will go to the floor for all the Senate to vote.

Congrads to John Roberts.

You might have noticed I haven't really updated the blog in some time. I have been busy on two other newer projects with my rarely spare time. Plus I been on-call this week and you know how that is. I was up at 1 a.m. last night for one stupid interface. It took over an hour, with 3 text pages (to them) before they recycled their side and returned their call to me. I entertained myself watching a CD on XML. Yeah, exciting.

Anyway. I have created a new webpage dedicated to the foot bath we recently acquired. I was so impressed with it, I am attempting to be a distributer for it. I don't expect to get rich off it, but I figured why not attempt to sell them? So if you want to check it out, let me know your thoughts on it.

In addition to the new foot bath pate. I have found a cool online store. This allows you to create your own merchandise and sell it online. The products have their own base pay and you add a buck or two to get a little bit out of it. The cool thing on this online store is the fact you do not have to personally purchase anything yourself to create the products. So again, I do not expect to get rich, but plan on creating some items to sell. Please check out the online store and let me know your thoughts on it as well.

My mom finally decided to sell the land we have. It is a bit over one acre that we grew up. The house is gone and frankly it's overgrown with weeds, ect. due to neglect. I went to put up the for sale signs today and was disheartened to see it in such a shape. I walked down memory lane a bit as I viewed the terrain. Unfortunately I personally do not have the money, or I would clean it up and make something out of it.

We all live in a single database, single database single database.
We all live in a single database, single database, single database.

"Beginning January 1st, 2007, the Netherlands plans to open a single database that will track a child’s health and welfare “from cradle to grave”, according to the Washington Post."

I seen a tickler run by briefly on the news relating to a single database will contain all new babies born starting 2007. I really didn't hear anyone speak on this, rather the simple tickler.

In Oklahoma, there is a new software going out to the public schools called the WAVE. This software is basically linking the schools to one database. Each school will upload their own students information onto the database. The reason is to keep track of the kids moving from one school to the other. The Government does not want to inadvertly pay for the same child in both schools. Sounds reasonable, but just because the news only reports the Netherlands as putting each kid in a single databaase, don't think it's not happening in the United States.

I have been listening to the John Roberts Q and A on C-span radio in the background and it's been intersting to say the least.

Basically you have two sides of the party posing questions to give everyone an idea of how John Roberts tick. Well, at least that is how it suppose to be. It appears however, Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein have taken the opportunity to do some grandstanding. Some can understand why Joe Biden has, because he will be running for president in 08. Don't believe me? Check out the campaign site already up on the web. As for Diane Feinstein, who can say. On day one, she went into a spill giving a history lesson and running out of time, during her speech. No questions were even asked to John Roberts. Mongo has a good article on this.

Let's not forget the unforgettable Liberal commie Ted Kennedy. I mean seriously, this guy couldn't wait for an answer and Spector had to ask Kennedy to simply allow John Roberts to answer the question. On one question Kennedy proposed it took him nearly 5 minutes to ask. However, he couldn't allow Roberts to reply without interrupting in 1 moment. It's almost a joke.

Commentors have already reported that nearly all the Democrats will vote no. They almost have to in order to appease their pocket filling special groups. So, what's the point of having a hearing if the Libs already have a bias answer?

Today, I listened to a spokes woman from Planned Parenthood. Of course she was attempting to act like she was listening to the hearings to determine if Planned Parenthood should or shouldn't support him. I commend the reporter from C-span for asking two simple questions.

Reporter: "Can we assume you do not support John Roberts".

PP: "You will have to wait till 1 p.m. "

Later in the conversation, he asked.....

Reporter:"Who financed and allowed you to come to speak on the floor".

PP: "uh well, uh the Democratic party and uh those concerned."

Yeah, another pocket filling special interest of the Commie liberal facist.

Basically, the special interest groups, pro-abortionist and gay rights, fill the Democrat pockets with money, ect and their puppets in the Senate (and some judicial seats) will legislate and support their causes.

We had purchased our very own footbath. I am already seriously thinking of becoming a distributor. No I am not kidding.

The footbath was a new treatment I was introduced to with our son's treatment. I never heard of it before nor can I still grasp the 'how' in it. Basically the water gets charged and pulls the toxins out of your body. I think of it as my dad putting that tobacco on my wasp sting to pull the poison it. Yeah that tobacco stung like crazy but you can't feel anything with the footbath.

You basically put your feet in some water with a pinch of salt. Then drop the adapter in the water, turning on the unit. Adults time on the machine is 40 minutes while the kids 1-7 yrs is 12 minutes.

Here is the simple basin of water.



Here is a picture of my footbath after 40 minutes. Yeah, it looks like crap, but that actually came out of me.



However, my wife's footbath was way more nasty. The kids only showed as yellow water. Probably because they had the treatment before. When our son did his first, it was way way nastier than my wife's here.



Each color, metal flake, ect indicates some form of toxin. Either coming out of your kidneys, liver, intestines, joints, tobacco (yes removes tobacco) or simply metal flakes. Weird, but I can't discard what I see.

Update on the California: It appears not only the Governor did the right thing by upholding the will of the people, he used words no-one has heard from the Government in a long time.

"``The Governor believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action -- which would be unconstitutional -- but by court decision or another vote of the people of our state. We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote. Out of respect for the will of the people, the Governor will veto AB 849.''"

I say it's about time we seen a government official in office showing the balls to do the job right.

I had taken Friday off and used the morning to prostitue for the PTA. I went to pick up some items vendors were willing to give PTA for their silent auction. I also knocked on some doors asking for anything to go toward the silent auction. I was surprised some of the stores were willing to give us certificates, ect.

Friday night the family spent the night in a tent at Tulsa Zoo. Only about 20 families had a 'starry safari' sleepover at the zoo. They locked the gates after a specific time. This was a new and cool experience for all 4 of us. I had tested the tent last weekend to ensure I could actually put it up and break it down. I was halfway impressed with myself having the ability to put it up within 7 minutes. So I didn't have to embarrass the wife by spending 40 minutes putting up a tent. : )

I personally enjoyed it immensely. The fact we could walk in the nighttime with hardly anyone at the zoo, was nice and relaxing. The zoo had brat's or hotdogs, salad dressing, baked beans to choose and eat for dinner. We could also ride the train around the zoo. It was nice to see some of the animals actually up and moving as opposed to the normal laying in the shade.

We drove home early this morning and immediately went to work. PTA had booth at the corner of Pocola. They had a small 'indian fair' going on at the corner of Pocola and it was an opportunity to acquire more members and have the kids playing a game. It was hotter than ever out there and it lasted till nearly 2 p.m.

Now it's 8 p.m. local time and everyone has had their showers and benadryl (fighting those stupid allergies still).

As the media continues to show only Katrina's devastation and the political snot throwing, the radical left continues to work hard. Reading this article, the commonsense person would wonder why or how could this continue to occur? What's with this agenda driven radical group? The people had voted, the first court said no, yet they continue to push for it. I don't see how the Govenor could sign the worthless paper.

Anaheim, California "The State Assembly has turned its back on California's families," said Benjamin Lopez, Lobbyist for Traditional Values Coalition (TVC). "Forty-One Democrats have taken it upon themselves to ram down the throats of Californians a twisted, out-of-step, out-of-mainstream version of marriage and family. They will surely pay for this."

Just moments ago the California State Assembly voted 41 to 36, the bear minimum number needed for passage, to pass Assembly Bill 849, by homosexual Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), a bill that would strike references to "male" and "female" in the marriage code and would instead add the phrase "two persons" to the definition of marriage thereby allowing two men or two women to marry.

The State Assembly vote comes nearly three months after the same chamber rejected an identical bill, Assembly Bill 19, Leno's first attempt to legalize homosexual marriage, on June 2, 2005. The Assembly fell 4 votes short of passing AB 19 at that time. Leno then amended AB 19's provisions into another bill that had already passed the Assembly and made its way to the Senate, AB 849, resurrecting the homosexual marriage bill. The State Senate passed AB 849 on September 1, 2005 by a vote of 21 to 15.

Four Assembly Democrats who had abstained on AB 19 during the June 2 vote switched their votes this time to put AB 849 over the top. Those Democrats were Mervyn Dymally of Compton, Gloria Negrete McLeod of Ontario, Simon Salinas of Salinas and Tom Umberg of Santa Ana.

"It is clear that Democrats are in bed with the radical homosexual community and they are not using any protection," Lopez said. "This vote makes it clear that it is Democrats in the Legislature that are determined to get homosexual marriage enacted any way they can. It is Democrats that are pro-gay and anti-traditional family."

"If supporters of same-sex marriage are so confident that the public supports homosexual marriage, why don't they go to the public?" Lopez asked. "Why don't they let the people vote on the issue? They will not! They will not do so because they would lose and they know it. So, instead they must resort to liberal legislators and rogue judges to forcibly implement same-sex marriage."

In the March 2000 Primary Election, 61.4% of California voters passed Proposition 22, which stated: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." 101 out of 120 legislative districts voted in favor of Prop 22.

AB 849 now goes to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk for his signature or veto. Lopez stated that TVC will now focus its efforts on ensuring the Governor vetoes the bill.

"We will be relentless in conveying to the Governor that California is not in favor of blatant homosexual marriages," Lopez added. "Governor Schwarzenegger has made statements that the courts or people should decided this issue. Well, here is his chance to veto a bill brought to him, not by the people, but by radical activists who wish to impose their idea of family on the rest of California."

"If the Governor signs AB 849 into law, I predict he will lose his reforms at the November election as many conservatives will simply stay home in protest." Lopez warned.

They finally were able to get the pumps going to drain New Orleans. Why the media so much on New Orleans and not the other disaster areas, remains a mystery to me. None-the-less New Orleans remains in the spot light. The predators and scavengers continue to prey on any living and non-living thing out there. You have your looters, rapist, ect. as well as the political predators coming out of the woodworks. Just today, I heard on talk radio Al Sharpton is joined by every left wing nutcase blaming Bush for the horror in New Orleans. Are they for real? A quick search online Boortz says it well.


I seen a pretty good movie last night called Silver City. I picked it up thinking it was going to be a political comedy. It wasn't really a political movie, per say. The main character actually was a private investigator that uncovers the 'powers to be' dumping dead illegal immigrants and toxic waste in a cave. This cave was also part of the property the 'powers to be' is trying to build this Silver City on. They did show a wantabee governor that was not a public speaker at all. I found it interesting because to me it was a mystery on how and who was the illegal immigrant that died. The movie answered the question. I also enjoy watching the extra's on the dvd. It gives a more personal behind the scenes on the movie, director, ect. I was surprised to find the movie was made primary as a rebuttel to Bush's first Presidential win. The actors/actress's playing in the movie, first stated they did it because of the writer, John Sayles. Then as you continued to watch it became more evident (by their own words) they did this film because they felt the presidency was stolen by Bush. It appears people still believe this after the recounts. Oh well, you cannot educate the unwilling. I am always interested in hearing other points of view, ect. However, it is scary the hatred I seen from some of these actors. You have to understand the wantabee governer character was an attempt to portray George Bush. Basically the character was a dunce his own father seen as a problem. This dunce was pushed by the 'powers to be' like a puppet on strings. It's a shame to have that illogical and unfounded perception. I agree people make mistakes and no-one is perfect, but you have to admit, this President won the first and second term of office. The people decided. This President also has had the hardest time in any term for at least 50 years.

He wasn't allowed to go into office for nearly 5 months because the Democrats demanded a chad issue. (Note this same state of Florida was ran by Democrats but Bush was blamed as stealing the office)

Once he was able to get into office 9/11 hit shortly afterwards. Although the prior Democratic term did nothing but ignore the dangerous signs of Terrorist, Bush was again blamed.

Bush had to push through the economic bubble that Clinton rode on the way out of his term. Again, Bush was blamed for it.

Bush had the Afganistan war to overlook against the terror camps.

Bush had the Iraq war to deal with it. Yes, he is blamed for going into by falsifying the WMD's. However, everyone was stating the dictator had WMD's. But again Bush was blamed for it, and continue to be.

Now the most natural disaster this Nation has seen in history has struck Mississippi and Louisiana. Already you have political predators throwing up every reason why it's Bush's fault. Although their cries are illogical and frankly dumb, they cry none-the-less.

I could add more but my battery is running low on my laptop and quite frankly anyone can look it up and see the facts.

I nearly lost my voice Friday. I had been fighting allergies, myself, all week as well. Friday was the worst day for me. Dry, scratchy and unable to keep a simple tone, I am sure I was hard to understand on the phone. Fortunately, most of my contact was made through IM and Email.

Friday night, we had planned to enjoy some quality time with the kids. Kel and I crashed early. The kids had a sleepover in the living room and thoroughly enjoyed it.

When we awoke Saturday morning, I felt a bit better, but Kel still felt awful. I mowed mine and the neighbors yard first thing Saturday morning, before it became too hot. I spent the remaining day halfway cleaning up the house.

Saturday night I made us some bananna splits and milkshakes. Kel and our son wanted a milkshake while our girl and I dove into a homemade bananna split. Yes, they were good. : )

I tried to watch Monster-N-Law with Kel last night as well. I kept getting interrupted with work issues. However, from what I seen of it, Jane Fonda acted like a spoiled kid not getting her way. Personally, if I had that kind of retirement, I would find something else to do than make my kids life hell.

Afterwards, I tried to watch Assault on Precinct 13. Since I took 2 benadryls to sedate me coughing my head off, I couldn't even finish it. I crashed around midnight. I will try to finish it tonight.

Kel has acquired some stuff to be given to the victims of Katrina. There is a drop off for items in Fort Smith. I plan to take the kids to church this morning and bring them home. I will then drop the items off.

We received our van back today. I had to take it in yesterday morning for them to figure out what the deal is.

As I was driving it the gas odometer just dropped to E with the gas light coming on. I thought, oh crap, someone siphored our gas. Yeah, I am pretty pessimistic at times.
Anyway, I put around 20 bucks in it (when it was less than 3 freaking dollars) and headed back on the road. It went up to nearly half a tank and then dropped down again. OK. Somethings up. I had called Firestone and they really didnt want to touch it, after hearing my scenario. I was forced to take it to a FORD dealership (no jokes please, it was a good deal at the time). I really didnt want to, because my wife and I had a bad experience with another FORD dealership before.

However, it took them nearly 2 days, but they found the culprit. It ended up being two ground wires, one in the front and one in the back, that needed cleaned and re-grounded. Odd yes, but, less expensive than I had feared. Personally, I would not have ever found it. I suck at cars anyway. We also had the wipers, oil, and gas filter changed. Might as well have it all overhauled. So far so good. No issues on the way home.

Our son has had allergies since school started back. He was out part of a day this week with a temp and coughing like crazy. Kel mentioned the crappy looking vents in the classroom. I checked them out and sure enough they looked pretty bad. I mentioned it to the assistant principle, as a parent. Later the same day, I dropped my reciepts (from the Oklahoma City trip) off. The Super asked me to come in and wanted to know if everything was OK. So it opened an allowable time to mention the filters and vents. This was yesterday. I find out today, that one maintence guy went in and changed all the filters and cleaned the vents out throughout the elementary school. Unreal. They said he was sweating like a pig and filthy as all get out. On top of it all, it seems to be common knowledge we had requested it to be done. I couldn't believe it. It saddens me to think they did this because I happen to request it being done, as opposed to it actually required to be done for the benefit of all.

Since Kel and I also seem to be coming down with allergies, Kel went out and bought some air filters. Personally, I never have messed with any. However, these seem to be easy enough. You just pull them from the box and plug them in. That's what I like, keep it simple. So by morning, I would hope every allergin would be pretty much squashed.

I finally get to go to bed tonight. I watched a movie called Sahara and it was actually pretty good. I been called twice tonight for on-call, hence , I can just now get to bed. It is after midnight local time.
