Over a year later...

I've decided it's time to post again. Why? Because people have asked, and it's going to be election time!

What's changed? Lets see...

1. I DID lose the 25 pounds I wanted too, whoohoo!

2. I've actually been to a drum circle, and it is not as bad as I thought it would be.

3. While most of my political friends support Mitt Romney, I am a solid Giuliani fan.

4. My hair is now long for the first time since Jr. High.

What hasn't changed?

1. Still completely sarcastic and genuinely annoying to "open minded" liberals. hmm...

2. I still have horrible punctuation skills so have at it.

3. I'm relatively active in state level politics.

It'll take a while to get back into the swing of things, so I need either a few good talking points flying around the blogosphere or some insults to get the blood boiling.

oh yeah.

The End of ARM is Near...

That's right. Jump for joy or cry, it's up to you.

Blogging is not what it is cracked up to be. At least in politics, it's not. I love reading about trends, families, or niche subjects, but JESUS is the "blogosphere" just choked with wanna-be policy changers. Newsflash: If you are not an elected official, you can't do anything!

Over the past few months, I guess you could say I have been introduced to the heart of what drives politics in this country. And, not to continue bashing the world of second class writers out there, but blogging is not getting you anywhere. The people that read your blog are the same people that read everyone else's blogs. We represent such a minute fraction of this country's population, and we all bicker about the same subjects we have no control over by simply writing.

Sure, it's fun bitching about how I read news headlines like "Oscars represent political message". Sure the awards do. It's a hard sell for me to respect a man who says once you have directed, written, and starred in a movie, you are suddenly "somebody" and "can make a difference" in this world (George Clooney, not surprisingly a liberal). I will definitely be taking advice from people that compete over expensive toy dogs in $6000 purses, and say "I don't understand why water just isn't free for everyone" (Paris Hilton & Nicole Richey, not surprisingly liberals, also). You have Bono, sharing the cover of Time Magazine with the Gates, when Bono (who is guess what? A LIBERAL)still carts around the world in his expensive aircrafts and vehicles, and thinks concerts attended by hippies in Africa will bring awareness. And here the Gates, who will leave only .02% of their fortune to their children to give the rest away to charities, are lambasted by Democrats to pay more in taxes, and are rarely mentioned in the press for their achievements. Liberals must be so proud of who dances in the limelight to speak for them. Speaking of movies, let's paraphrase a quote from "The Aviator" when Howard Hughes speaks to Katharine Hepburn: "You are just an actress, you are a dime a dozen. I MADE my money". That's so true. These wealthy liberals (like the inheritance rich Ted Kennedy, who pays almost no income tax because his money comes from the Kennedy estate, which derived it's millions bootlegging whiskey from Canada)are always so quick to spend others' money, without giving thought that maybe most people in this country WORK to make their money.

I could go on about how the great State of Illinois is passing legislation to provide laptops for 7th graders, without appropriating money for the program. Eligibility is to be determined by income, school poverty and performance, and demographics. Why not just get to the point and say the computers are for the kids of Chicago, and the rest of the state need not apply? I could whine on here all day about how this program is blatantly biased to support Chicago, and how us rural citizens will get stuck will the tax bill once again, because they are relying on grants that haven't been assigned to this yet. I could laugh at how a liberal legislator was quoted today saying these laptops will improve test scores, increase attendance, and reduce behavioral problems. Laptops do all of that? WOW, can they clean my house, too? Once again, you have a liberal throwing responsibility and accountability out the window, in favor for a more useless route that makes them look good for reelection, without providing any real benefit to the ignorant general public. They know it and exploit it. Liberals are always there to hail these wastes of money as the Holy Grail to solve all problems! I could go on about how Daley and Blagojevich are apparently bedfellows, because I never hear anything on NPR that this sorry ass LIBERAL Governor has introduced or streamlined to support anywhere other than Chicago.

I could point out all the websites and individuals who attacked me for calling Tammy Duckworth a publicity stunt, but then again, these same sites and people are now crying in their beers over how she was NOT their wounded hero, but a sellout funded by an attention seeking liberal PR guy. I'll say it now, HAHAHAHAHAHA, I love that I was right. Where's my kudos? Oh, I forgot, liberals can't admit they are wrong against the great and almighty ARM.

I've been called racist, but never by anyone of color, lolol.

I've been called a bible thumper, when I have been steadfast in saying I don't believe in a God, but I defend religious freedom. I've been called "crass" by the religious right, for not supporting intelligent design, when that's such a small particle compared to all the rest of the subjects I support in their favor.

I've been called a baby hater and "de-linked" (OOOOooo, that hurts how will I ever move on with my miserable life?). I am pro-life myself, but I will not support banning abortion when there is nothing in place to protect these families we forced into the world. If it's one thing I hate, it is people who dictate others in the name of God, when God is supposedly merciful, and will forgive those who have sinned. I made not be religious, but I have a respect and a memory for what I was taught. If religious zealots want to make abortion illegal at all costs, I hope they will freely give out their nest eggs to support these children. It's your duty after all, to help thy neighbor.

My writing and grammar is relentlessly picked on, but I've never claimed to be a writer. Besides, what does anyone get out of pointing this out? As far as I'm concerned, I'm still more effective in advancing my political beliefs than sitting behind a computer in a shitty apartment eating Cheetos than people that can write flawless.

So, there you go. Typical ARM rhetoric, sure to bring on the typical comments from the same typical people. But, now I'm intelligent enough to know that this is useless and ineffective.

I believe volunteering my time to the candidates I support running for office is much more effective. If I don't like who's running my life, I will work to vote him or her out! If someone follows my beliefs, I'll work to elect them.

I haven't figured out what to do with the site yet. Sell it? Maybe, it does have a catchy name! Let it fade into the distance? Probably, as there will always be another target for hypocritical liberals to attack.

Whom I Support in the Illinois Elections

I wanted to post who has my support in the upcoming races in Illinois. Illinois has been under the rule of an absent, yet destructive Blagojevich too long. Rod only has the interest of Chicago in his heart, and this is not the "State of Chicago", this is ILLINOIS! Chicago is but a subculture in this state. We need a Governor that represents the interests of everyone as a WHOLE, and not just where the population is. Most of Chicago's needs, wants, and problems are unique to the city, and not a state issue. Our current Governor believes he is doing his job by cowtowing to those interests, and neglects the rest of the state. I'm tired of it!

For Governor, I support Judy Baar-Topinka. She has a solid track record in state politics, and is a down to earth, plain spoken, honest woman. She would also be the first woman Governor in the State.

For Lt. Governor, I support Joe Birkett. He is running along-side with Judy as a running mate, and these two just "fit" together.

I had the opportunity to meet with them last night at an informal get-together at the Dixon Courthouse, and then again at the Lee County "Reagan Day" dinner. They have solid policies about limiting new programs in order to fund the current. They believe in limited government, but fufilling the duties of the positions that are held. Imagine, someone in Illinois office that knows the definition of accountability.

It will be a tough race, for the last Republican Governor's corruption problems will certainly affect voters' trust in this campaign. However, lets all admit that Blagojevich is not any better, with raiding pension funds to create new programs, all in the name of a new headline.

I know there are several other candidates running in the primaries, and while I am asking Illinois voters to support Judy & Joe, please just vote Rod Blagojevich out of office!

I also want to write that I support Stewart Umholtz for Attorney General. I spent a good part of the dinner with him last night, and I really like him. He grew up in rural Illinois (important, since other than Chicago, Illinois is rural!), and is also a very easy to talk to, down to earth guy. Judy Baar-Topinka and Joe Birkett support him also!

Why I Loved being ARM in 2005

Now That's What I'm Talking About

Finally, an article written that explains that even most Catholics don't (and officially shouldn't) follow "Intelligent Design". This theory is going down as a brain stall in our nation's history. This should have never even entered the courts.

PARIS (Reuters) - The Roman Catholic Church has restated its support for evolution with an article praising a U.S. court decision that rejects the "intelligent design" theory as non-scientific.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said that teaching intelligent design -- which argues that life is so complex that it needed a supernatural creator -- alongside Darwin's theory of evolution would only cause confusion.

A court in the state of Pennsylvania last month barred a school from teaching intelligent design (ID), a blow to Christian conservatives who want it to be taught in biology classes along with the Darwinism they oppose.

The ID movement sometimes presents Catholicism, the world's largest Christian denomination, as an ally in its campaign. While the Church is socially conservative, it has a long theological tradition that rejects fundamentalist creationism.

"Intelligent design does not belong to science and there is no justification for the demand it be taught as a scientific theory alongside the Darwinian explanation," said the article in the Tuesday edition of the newspaper.

Evolution represents "the interpretative key of the history of life on Earth" and the debate in the United States was "polluted by political positions," wrote Fiorenzo Facchini, a professor of evolutionary biology at Italy's Bologna University.

"So the decision by the Pennsylvania judge seems correct."

EVOLUTION CONFUSION

Confusion about the Catholic view of evolution arose last year when both the newly elected Pope Benedict and his former student, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn of Vienna, said humans were part of an intelligent project designed by God.

An article by Schoenborn in the New York Times in July seemed to signal a Church shift toward intelligent design because it played down a 1996 statement by Pope John Paul that evolution was "more than a hypothesis."

This triggered a wave of "Vatican rejects Darwin" headlines and attacks from scientists, Catholics among them, who argued that had been proved man evolved from lower beings.

Schoenborn later made it clear the Church accepted evolution as solid science but objected to the way some Darwinists concluded that it proved God did not exist and could "explain everything from the Big Bang to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony."

The Church, which has never rejected evolution, teaches that God created the world and the natural laws by which life developed. Even its best-known dissident, Swiss theologian Hans Kueng, echoed this in a recent book in Germany.

Schoenborn said he spoke up because he shared Benedict's concern, stated just before his election last April, that a "dictatorship of relativism" was trying to deny God's existence.

TENET OF FAITH

Pennsylvania Judge John Jones ruled that intelligent design was a version of creationism, the belief that God made the world in six days as told in the Bible, and thus could not be taught without violating a ban on teaching religion in public schools.

It was not science, despite claims by its backers, he said.

This literal reading of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, is a tenet of faith for evangelical Protestants, a group that has become politically influential in the United States.

Many U.S. Catholics may agree with evangelicals politically, but the Church does not share their theology on this point. Intelligent design has few supporters outside the United States.

While not an official document, the article in L'Osservatore Romano had to be vetted in advance to reflect Vatican thinking.

The Seattle-based Discovery Institute -- the main think tank of the ID movement -- said on its website that reading the Osservatore article that way amounted to an attempt "to put words in the Vatican's mouth."

Anti-ACLU Thursday

I was asked to post this for ACLU Thursday.

Letters from Lucifer

By… Michael Westfall

Dear ACLU,

I am “Lucifer”, but you may call me “Satan”. My spirit is alive and active through my supporters in the United States of America as well as the rest of the world.

I have wanted to write a series of letters to my various American disciples for the last two hundred years, but America’s culture had not yet reached the point to where it was fitting. After observing how successfully so many of you devoted Americans are now discipling for me, it is clearly apparent that in “2006” the time has now arrived to deliver a personalized communication as a token of my appreciation expressing my sincere gratitude. Your efforts have been the necessary and critical grease I have needed to slide in my agenda. By destroying America’s morality we are repaying the United States for being a historically strong God fearing nation.

My first letter is to my ACLU. You are the first in line because you are number one in my book. I have several other letters to my many other major supporters that will follow.

To my ACLU, I must say that I am agitated and not happy with how some are treating you. I despise organizations like the American Family Association, founded by my old archenemy Donald E. Wildmon and now run by his “menacing” son Tim Wildmon SEE… http://www.afa.net/.

I also don’t care for dozens of other popular Christian zealots such as

Gary Glenn, President of the Michigan AFA info@afamichigan.org or

Gary Schneider, President of The Reality Check org. or

Martin Barillas, former diplomat and religion news editor for Spero magazine or

Judson Cox, editor and chief of the North Carolina Conservative

I also don’t appreciate or like people like Fox’s “Bill O’Reilly” or “Sean Hannity”…who keep hammering on these same issues, bringing a pro-Christian awareness to the anti-Christian issues that I champion. These people are not doing my work. They are our enemies.

There are countless other Christian conservatives that are my enemies. I hate them all. I am looking for delusional liberal disciples to succumb and kneel before me, not intelligent critics who chastise my evil and passionate efforts. These Christian conservatives do make a negative impact on my bringing as many with me as I possibly can to my one-way dark cruise of misery through the eternal lake of fire.

To you my ACLU, I want to give my highest commendation. How you locate and manipulate liberal judges for my purpose and to do my bidding would warm my heart, if I had a heart.

The bucketful of legal troubles that you dish out to any group or power fighting against me is like an ongoing deep breath of rank stagnant air.

You have been on fire for me and have advanced my cause to such a degree that I don’t know where to “stop thanking you”. How could I function without you? “Just consider the shape America would be in without you”?

Thank you for partnering with me to reduce America’s culture to a pile of rubble? As so many of my enemies have already stated, you have done this by fighting to legalize child pornography, homosexual marriage, prostitution, sex between adults and children, remove “under God” from the pledge of allegiance and the motto “in God We Trust” from our money. You are passionate for me and you are quickly slicing all semblances of decency in America. You are justified and wonderful “in my deep red eyes.”

Thank you for fighting “against” America’s Boy Scouts by forcing these young and trusting innocent lads to accept homosexual scout leaders. Your lethal efforts in removing prayer from the lips and hearts of America’s impressionable children in their schools and public events and your powerful work towards physician assisted suicide is exemplary. I am really appreciative to you in your fight for abortion on demand for our young schoolgirls without their parent’s consent, and the gruesome murder of millions of America’s unborn children through partial birth and other types of abortion. Death and misery has always been my specialty. The list goes on but you are diabolically smart and get the idea of your importance to me.

You fabulous ACLU attorneys are my helpmates. You work so hard on my many issues and continually bow to my agenda and myself. I want to let you know that I, your idol, do have an important “gift” waiting for “just you”. It will be here in a flash because life on earth is but a vapor. Your soul, however, will spend eternity with yours truly in a much warmer climate. That is going to be my special “just reward” for “just you”.

Oh yes, I also don’t want to forget to thank you for being against filters on public library computers, nativity scenes on public property, sex offender registries, broadcast decency laws, tax exemptions for churches, posting the Ten Commandments on public property and prayers before high school football games. Keep up this dark work in my name.

It warms my pitchfork the way you have defended the North American Man Boy Love Association, NAMBLA, which promotes the rape of America’s young children under the guise of free _expression. The new culture that you are working diligently to create energizes my vision to obliterate Christian religion and moral ethics. It creates the “legally binding foundation” for a new culture based on pornography, open sex, child sexual abuse, abortion, homosexuality and it demonizes Christ himself. It sounds like hell to me …well done my true and worthy servants!

ACLU comrades and disciples let us not stop here but rather intensify and continue nicking away in huge cancerous chunks the decency left in America. When we finally topple foolish and sleeping America, the rest of the world will fall like brainless dominos.

We need to continue on and intensify our “designed mission” of minimizing, questioning, criticizing and eliminating the Bible as well as characterizing Christians as finger pointing, radical, mentally challenged and delusional chumps. “ Always relate negatively to those who publicly profess belief in Christ and stand as pillars for societal morality and righteousness. “Keep America confused!”

“I believe the technology is here and the time is getting very close for you to finally work on legalizing the putting of a mark on all Americans who are with us. This would further target and demonize those Christians and their families who are against us and would refuse such a mark.

As your master, I demand you to “ continue on with your powerful secular anti-God blueprint”. It is a blue print that continues to allow us to hide under the first amendment, without parameters, aggressively operating and calling everything “good… bad” and everything “bad… good”.

In conclusion, don’t be so modest!

I, Lucifer as a deceiver of mankind, am telling you that largely because of your huge efforts, Americans now live in a post-Christ United States. I am proud and I am boasting of your success in using the American court system against Christianity and America’s families the way you have.

OH YES, your personal pay off and one last minor detail. Because of your tenacity and dedication I have hardly had to lift a finger. Therefore, you can be assured that your souls will be justly rewarded. I have a special spot reserved for each and every one of you.

The Bible says I am going to the lake of fire with my disciples. …….“You are my disciples”.

So far I haven’t mentioned too much about your future but by doing my bidding on earth your souls are now fused to mine for eternity and our future passages are all booked. We are going on the misery cruise headed to the lake of fire. It won’t be a cruise of fun and laughter. Our destination is the roast and toast because your name is not engraved in God’s book of life. To the contrary, you have personally, by choice, engraved your name in my book of death because of your lack of faith in the Savior Jesus Christ. It has been your choice.

Where you are going you may get thirsty “but believe me” the sparks, fireworks and horrific smells that never stop, will awe you. You don’t need to pack your straw hat, sunglasses, asbestos shorts or fire extinguisher because they will be of no use on this cruise or in this place. You just come “as-is”…The rest will be done for you.

Don’t start whimpering…yet. You won’t be alone. For eternity you will be near the suffering souls that you were directly responsible for going on this one way cruise. You will be in equal company because there will be millions of pitiful souls there from over 2000 years and more of recorded history. Around us will be an endless line of historically infamous people such as those who killed Christ, Hitler and his entourage and the entirety of earth’s degenerates. Let’s not forget all of the decent people that we tricked and most important, “to you”, your family members that you refused to lead to Christ. They shall certainly find the never-ending demeanor of their new eternal family in the fire of damnation shall we say, interesting? Thank you and thank you again because without your help I could never had reached your personal family. Don’t forget the most important person there and the one that made it all possible, with your help…. “ME”, yours truly…Lucifer the Beast, I am the captain on this upcoming hellish cruise.

I am looking forward to your arrival and quite frankly I can’t wait to get my clutches on your hide; I mean pat you on your back for a job well done, my loyal and trusted ACLU servant’s.

For once I will tell you the truth…your reward is going to be severe, I mean much more profound then you could have ever imagined.

I don’t follow the Bible and I am a liar, a deceiver and a master of confusion.

You, ACLU, “could have” used your talents and abilities to promote mankind and holy pursuits but you refused and came willingly under my umbrella rejecting God’s word. Job well done!

For rejecting mankind’s savior, blaspheming, convoluting and mocking God’s Holy word and doing all in your power to eradicate morality in America… I am waiting for you. It is much later then you think!

Your Master,

Satan the anti Christ
(Lucifer the Beast)

What's up with Iran?

Have you noticed all the shit Iran is getting away with these days? Their President; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has gone apparently nuts with his "come and get me" rhetoric.

A Sampling:

Today you will all have heard-and I hope that this is final-that the criminal of Sabra and Shatila has rejoined his ancestors. God willing, the others will join him soon

Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail.

Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?

If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe -- like in Germany, Austria or other countries -- to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it.

So, all that the European coalition to stop them has done so far is THREATEN (not impose) sanctions. Today Iran is removing UN seals from their enrichment plants. Our country, also has had little to say. In the past, Israel would've already sent their air force over to destroy the plants.

Why hasn't ANYONE done anything?

I'm no expert, but I think they already have a bomb. They're not hiding that they're pursuing one, but I suspect they are currently in possession, and everyone knows it (other than average Joe). They are a loose cannon, and while I don't think Iran will attack unprovoked, I DO think if we (or anyone else) ran in to shut them down they'd nuke Israel as retaliation, in which I'm sure Israel would reciprocate. That would be the start to a major world war, no doubt about it.

The press never reports how messed up these countries truly are. A little off the topic, but interesting tidbit: We were told that near Qatar they have a town that only the terrorists can visit, while our soldiers have a separate section they can visit. Here we have two enemies frequenting the same town, but they can't "cross the line". We KNOW the terrorists are there, but for whatever red-taped reason, we don't pursue them. Weird.

Anyway, we can blame the Clinton Administration for Iran's new bomb. Clinton's CIA had a Russian double-agent give "fake" trigger plans to Iran to track their progress. They were not flawed enough, and the Iranian scientists could work through the flaws. Now, what do you liberals have to say about that?
