Walter E. Williams: Socialism is evil

An absolute, "must-read" article, where Dr. Williams quickly and quaintly lays out the moral depravity behind socialism (and its primary tool of power, the income tax).

In the first paragraph, Dr. Williams defines socialism, its goals, and shows that both major parties are actively pursuing it. The second paragraph gives examples of that pursuit.

In paragraph three, he calls socialism immoral and compares it practice to that of slavery. He spends the next couple of paragraphs expounding on the fact that even though something may be legal, does not make it right. He concludes with the insight that to Christians "socialism and the welfare state must be seen as sinful."

Every Christian should read this article and then really think about it. It may just help you change your mind about the income tax, welfare, and subsidies. I've often said I don't understand how a Christian can be a liberal. This explains why...

Kerry in Spacesuit

There are some pictures floating around the internet with Kerry in a "bunnysuit", WorldNetDaily reports that this was not a "dirty trick" in an effort to embarrass Kerry.

I honestly don't understand what all the fuss is about. So the Presidential Nominee was visiting the Space Shuttle and donned on some garb. Sounds like fun to me. I don't think it is embarrassing or out of line. Sure, I understand why the late-night talk shows are making fun of it...that's their job.

Anyone who would make a decision to not vote for this guy just because he has a funny looking picture is too stupid to vote anyway...and should probably be castrated to prevent him from passing on his stupidity genes.

In the same token, Kerry Campaign...don't get your panties in a knot over a silly picture. It just makes it look like you take yourself too seriously. For goodness sake, life is tough and sometimes you just got to laugh at yourself and roll with the situation.

The worst way to go

It must "stink" to die this way.

Cutting the Land Line

Well, I'm getting rid of my DSL and dropping my land phone line.  I have come to the conclusion that it is ridiculous to pay one bill for phone service and DSL ($80/month), one for cell phone service ($90 /month), and one for cable service ($35 /month).  Therefore, we are adding high speed internet service to the cable bill to make it $80 /month)  and dropping BellSouth.

New email addresses will be sent to family and friends when the transition is complete.

WorldNetDaily: Political snitches monitor sermons

WorldNetDaily: Political snitches monitor sermons

The article explains how some groups are monitoring worship services and reporting the church to the IRS if the service includes political messages. This angers me because it the government using indimidation and fear to control speech. If there was no income or corporate taxes (which were not allowed under the Constitution until the passing of the 19th Amendment), then the government would have no power over what preachers say from the pulpit. This kind of censorship glosses over the glorious history that churches have had in fighting for liberty since the founding of this country. Don't you people remember that Paul Revere was a Pastor? The one-liner to be prepared to fight, "Keep your powder dry", was the closing sentance of pastors.

Anyway, the government has no right to use fear or intimidation to control speech. The First Amendment trumps the 19th. Pastors and preachers should not be chained from using thier influence to discuss caniadites.

HEY IRS -- KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY RELIGION!!!
