Ron Paul and Israel

Here are still more reasons why a Ron Paul Presidency would be good for Israel. Yet the establishment,corporate press tries to spin Ron's views about Israel as being anti-Israel.

Monster Quest



Have you all been watching this series? It's great!
The one entitled "Lions in the Backyard" has some footage of a Checotah, Oklahoma ranch where this rancher's livestock are coming up missing. Get this: they suspect it's a black Jaguar! Apparently, and I didn't know this, the southern half of the U.S. used to be part of the Jaguar's natural range but they were thought to have been killed off in the late 1800's. They now believe they are migrating up from Central and South America to reclaim their old habitat.
The Jaguar is the third largest cat. Yikes!

I watched the one about Bigfoot, too. Interesting.

The Cleveland Trip

No time to write anything lengthy tonight so I'm going to post some photos from a trip my father-in-law and I took to Cleveland, Ohio this past summer. He and my mother-in-law are originally from the Cleveland area. The church you see in some of the photos is a really old Catholic church in downtown Cleveland that his aunt still attends. The workmanship is truly amazing in the old church and was done by Irish-American immigrants in the late 1800's.

The river tug you see is on the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland.

Nostalgia

Wow! Such a deal! Only $3398 for a 10 megabyte hard drive (I'm guessing the ad is from the early eighties).

I recently bought a 320 gigabyte external hard drive for under $100. Technology marches on.

Conquering the Spirit of Debt

This is an amazing sermon given by Pastor Rod Parsley at "Breakthrough Church" in Columbus Ohio regarding not only the evils of personal dept, but also the evil of the American monetary debt-usury system and the inflation it creates. If this is your first exposure to how our Federal Reserve monetary system really operates, you may be quite shocked. This is yet another reason I would encourage you all to vote for Ron Paul because he is the only presidential candidate who is talking about putting a stop to this wicked system of debt-usury. Truly, if we don't put a stop to the Federal Reserve system and return to a constitutional-based money, a money with no debt attached to it, then the futures of our children are at stake.

If only more preachers had the courage to speak out like this man of God!

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
—Thomas Jefferson (1816)


"Government spending is always a “tax” burden on the American people and is never equally or fairly distributed. The poor and low-middle income workers always suffer the most from the deceitful tax of inflation and borrowing."
—Congressman Ron Paul

A Chip off the old block


My daughter and I have this "jump-out-and-scare-each-other" thing going on. If you can imagine the old slapstick Peter Seller's movies when Kato used to jump out and attack Peter Sellers then you'll get the picture. I started it when she was a bit younger and she loves it, even though at times it makes her heart skip a beat or two, as it does mine when she jumps out at me. She's just a chip off the old block as far as being a practical joker goes.

Last night she got me good! We were all over at my sister-in-law's house ringing in the New Year when my daughter walked into the kitchen area, which is visible from the living room where her mother, myself and my sister-in-law were all watching TV. My wife told her to come in and sit down with all of us. In her typical fashion as of late, she said "no", and then quickly disappeared back down the hallway. My wife then called out to her again to come back in and sit down with us, as did I.

No reply.

So I then reluctantly got up off the nice, comfortable sofa I was sitting on and went down the hallway expecting to see her when I entered the back bedroom, where the other TV and computer are. But there was no sign of her and she wouldn't respond when I called her name. I opened the closet door in the room half-expecting her to jump out at me then, but she wasn't in there either. I then checked the other bedroom nearby, following the same routine of opening the closet door and looking under the bed. But there was still no sign of her. By then I was getting a little bit miffed. The only room left to check was the bathroom in the hallway, which I did. I opened the bathroom door to find no light on, yet it wasn't completely dark because the light was on in the hallway. I quickly scanned the room and it was obviously empty, or so I thought. It was then that she jerked back the shower curtain and jumped out at me with a bloodcurdling scream! In an instant all I could think about was the shower scene in "Psycho"! And yes, my heart must have skipped several beats when at first I jumped back in a defensive posture expecting the worst!

After the initial shock had worn off and I realized I had been set up, I gave my daughter the "high-five" approvingly. After all, she's just a chip off the old bock. :)

Who's afraid of the guy in the big red suit?

A couple of clips of my two-year-old niece and her encounters with Santa.

This Santa she had no problem with. But this one is a different story.

Pastor's Forum with Ron Paul and Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Approximately three and one half minutes into the video the actual pastor's forum will start, where Pastor Chuck Baldwin gives his endorsement of Ron Paul and why he believes he is the ONLY true pro-life candidate. Baldwin also talks about the Constitution and why it is so important for Christians to support a candidate like Ron Paul who has clearly demonstrated by his voting record that he takes his oath to the Constitution seriously.

The first part of the video is footage of Ron Paul on the campaign trail.

Meet the Cast

There are at least two Tulsa Ron Paul Meet-Up members appearing in this video from New Hampshire. They sacrificed by moving all the way to New Hampshire to help the Ron Paulers in that state get Ron elected.

Here's some footage I took of the state capital rally. I didn't have a tri-pod and my back was killing me so you'll have to humor me with some of the camera shake you see. :)

Israel National Radio Show Host Talks about Ron Paul


Listen as the host of Israel National Radio talks about why he and his guest, Mr. Ben-Gad, support Ron Paul for president. It's a great interview on the merits of a Ron Paul Presidency.

It's short - only twenty-six minutes long.

Our Ron Paul March

This past October we had a "Ron Paul March" down Brookside Street in Tulsa. It was fun and we received lots of positive reactions both from passing motorists and pedestrians.

I am truly amazed at the diverse groups of people that are attracted to Dr. Paul's message of liberty and a return to the kind of government our founders originally envisioned for America - one based on the Rule of Law, limited government and a CLEAR separation of powers. We have Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, old, young, and everyone in between in our Ron Paul Meet-Up group, and this seems to be the norm for all of the other RP Meet-Up groups as well.

If you have not yet decided on which candidate you are going to support for president, I would encourage you to visit the Ron Paul Library, where you will gain an in-depth understanding on nearly all of Dr. Paul's stances on the issues.

The Airport


























I snapped this one (Click on the photograph for a larger view) today of an American Airlines Captain washing his own windshield as I was sitting in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport. We flew in from Columbus, Ohio after having spent five days visiting family and friends there. More pics and stories later.

The bird is a Boeing 767.

Bath Day for Doggy

Well today it was doggy bath day for our German Shepherd, Jewel. There is a new business in town (Route 66 Dog Wash) that makes it rather simple to wash your own dog - a novel idea really. You can see from the details in the video how it works. Just walk your dog up the ramp into the wash basin (no more stooping over to wash Rover) and start washing. The basin has a grate for the dog to stand on which allows the water to pass down through a drain to the floor. There is a dial you turn to get the desired wash cycle: Rinse, Shampoo, Conditioner, Blow Dry Big Dog, Blow Dry Little Dog, Warm blow dry or room temperature. Neat, huh?

We spent a total of around 11 bucks, but now that we know how it works, next time it will probably be cheaper for us because of familiarity.

Walla! No more dirty, stinky dog!

Stop Alien Abductions

Thought Screen Helmets. Pick up yours today!!

But wait! There's more. If you call within the next ten minutes you will also receive your very own cosmic ray gun blaster at the unbelievably low price of $19.99. Call now because supplies are limited!







Note: While I do believe there is legitimacy to the UFO phenomenon and that they will factor in heavily with the end time deception written about in Scripture, which I'm not making light of, I find the helmet angle to be quite comical. :)

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

I took my daughter to an area wildlife sanctuary today. Six minutes into the video you will see her feeding a 1,000 pound Liger (a Lion/Tiger Mix).

Ron Paul : When in the course of human events...



A true champion of the people and of a restoration of our hard-won Constitutional liberties, and yet because most people only receive their information from the corporate media outlets, and believe them, they don't recognize the real thing when it comes along.

God help us!

But the movement is growing. There are people out there who still do have enough discernment to see the truth when it comes knocking.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.

The Restoration of Habeas Corpus? I Hope So.

Hurray! Finally some common sense is returning to the nation's capital: The restoration of Habeas Corpus is now being debated. Without this right, all of our other rights are meaningless.

A Screen Capture of my Desktop



A screen capture of my current desktop icons and wallpaper. I think the wallpaper is a picture of a forest in the Pacific Northwest. Boy, what I wouldn't give to be there now. So beautiful.

Okay. Now you can go ahead and snoop around my icons to see a sampling of what kind of software I use. Go ahead, you know you want to. :)

Hey, that gives me an idea for a practical joke. Since I saved the screen capture in the same resolution my monitor operates in, I think I'll maximize it and just leave it open. The next time my wife comes in to use the computer and she clicks on the icons, they won't work, and she'll call me in to ask me what's wrong with the computer.

My classic reply: What in the world have you done to the computer now???!!!

Ornery? Yes. But you gotta have some fun now and then!

An Old Honeywell Ad

An ad from 1977. Who would have thought back then how email would revolutionize the way we communicate today?

Notice the old office desk. I still see some of those old dinosaurs around offices now and then.

This morning's outing...

I was out and about this morning during another one of our frequent (at least lately) rainstorms and took this footage. The road where I made the splash with the Jeep is the north/south road just behind the water treatment plant at the lake. The flooded bridge you see is right in front of Frank Robson's place. The bridge further down is just west of Franks' place, in that newer addition. And yes, I, too, forded through the water just like the other brave souls you saw. :)

I took a lot of still photographs too, which I will post later.

If you're having trouble viewing the video on the Internet, choose "Save Target As", which will allow you to view it on your hard drive.

Microsoft's New Technology

Technology marches on. Can you think of a Tom Cruise movie where similar technology is displayed?
