Was the war against the Nazi justified?

Am I justified in my personal war against Planned Parenthood?

Affirmative on both counts!

Yes. Whats most baffling is that the target of Sangers strategy are some of it's most ardent supporters. We live in strange times full of ironies. Our God given bent toward logical thought is being assaulted daily, as well as our ability to resist the evil which is gaining increasing control over us. Christ come soon.

[ampaterry]

It can not be soon enough to suit me, ROMT -

For today;

Kachinas are the Hopi Indians' holy objects, sometimes represented by wooden dolls. You can guess what happened when Kentucky's Ezra Brooks distillery hit upon the idea of marketing its bourbon in bottles shaped like kachina dolls. "How would a Catholic feel," asked Tribal Chairman Clarence Hamilton, "about putting whisky in a statue of Mary?"

The Indians enlisted the influence of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, himself a noted collector of kachina dolls. While Brooks had meant to sell 5,100 of the bottles in Arizona, the distillers agreed to stop at the 2,000 bottles already shipped. With the company's cooperation, Goldwater personally shattered the mold from which the bottles had been made.

In the same manner, we should be VERY careful concerning what we place in OUR bodies. As Christians, we know that our bodies are dwelling places for the Holy Spirit, and we should do nothing to defile this container of the divine.

I am not speaking of dietary laws here, for Jesus himself spoke against such notions when he said:
Matthew 15:10-11 (KJV); And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

So we keep our bodies clean and acceptable to God by controlling what comes FORTH from us, such as:
Colossians 3:8-9 (KJV); But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

With the Kachina doll whiskey bottles, the law of supply and demand brought about an unforeseen result: Unlike failed Christians, the rarity of these containers was guaranteed, and the Brooks kachinas have become an Arizona collector's item.

May God bless each and every one of you, guys, and help all of us to control what comes from us - -

Veteran sports fans still talk about the November 9th, 1912, football game between Army and tiny Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. Carlisle's Boys only went to the twelfth grade, but since many of their players were too rough for high school games, they played major colleges. Before the November 9th game, Army was ranked second in the nation. But that was before Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle team trounced them with a 27-6 score.

For his athletic prowess Thorpe was known as "the greatest at almost any feat except controlling himself." Thorpe died in 1953. His death ended a long nightmare of drinking, bumming about the country, family troubles, injuries and illnesses.

And the Army halfback who played against Thorpe in the 1912 game? He became a general in the U.S. Army, and president of the United States in 1952, one year before Thorpe died. His name: Dwight David Eisenhower.

So the member of the WINNING team, the one with the fame and glory of the day, spent a life of sorrow and tragedy –

And the member of the LOOSING team, the one with the huge defeat that day, spent a life of power and honor, in service to our country.

The moral of this story?
Make sure that you seek a higher honor than simply self aggrandizement.

The Word of God tells us:
Acts 12:21-23 (KJV);
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

May each one of us seek a higher honor, and Lord grant us the ability to recognize it, then to pursue it, and perhaps to attain it.

Paul knew athletics, and he described how winners in the long run win from the "inside out" in 1 Cor 9:24-27--self control in all things.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Thanks again, Terry

[ampaterry]

Excellent passage, BlackEagle - very fitting!

Today is Earth Day, the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin. He borrowed from the SDS and other questionable anti-war movement groups, and applied that energy to the cause of the environment. America was ripe for this at the time, with more and more people becoming concerned about our impact on nature, and the movement moved forward with support from all levels of society and all political ideologies.

As a true environmentalist, I look at this day with both positive and negative feelings.

On the positive side, I am glad we have the clean air, clean water, and endangered species acts. We needed some protection for these natural resources from those that are willing to do anything for a profit, and even those that will hunt a species to extinction if not prevented from doing so by the force of law.

But on the negative side, I see many areas where these ideas have been taken to extreme.

I see a shortage of electrical power in this country, and it is directly attributable to the environmental movement. We have those who would stop a hydroelectric project to protect a supposedly endangered minnow in the area. We have those that work to block any plant that burns fossil fuel, like coal. We have those that work to block any expansion of Nuclear Power plants, and they have been very successful in that there have not been any new such plants in ten years here in Tennessee. The other day, I read an article about their objection to wind farms on the basis that they effect the weather! These groups have been so successful in California, in fact, that they have to import power from adjoining states, since they cannot produce enough for their own use due to lack of generating capacity.

I see a shortage of oil due to their protesting the drilling of ANY new oil area, either off-shore or on-shore, keeping us at the mercy of the Muslim nations that produce the majority of the worlds oil.

This day we need to think long and hard about balance. We must balance our need for environmental protection with our need for energy. We must balance the protection of every living thing in our nation with the protection of our human inhabitants.

1 Corinthians 7:31 (KJV);
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

May God bless each one of you, guys!

today i remember as the last great Fatwa , and the origin of a word we mainly associate with Crimes against Jews , the word Genocide framed by Raphael Lemkin, but it was in fact a act against Christians , Armenian ones , by the Ottoman empire just 2 days shy of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli

i remember that it only ended when Mr Attaturk got power and took on a 3 year struggle with islamists in his own nation stopped it ..


to me earth day is another embodiment of the socialist plan to adopt socialist ways in the west and lenins birthday, and the day the Imams of the last caliphate signed orders to wipe out all Christians in the empire and to do it cheaply and without wasting too many bullets and guaranteeing in writing that no muslim would be held for any crime against any kaffir who did not have a caliphate issued "warrant" ( a safe passage card basically )

so i'll pray today for all armenian folks everywhere , for peace and healing .

and chuckle a bit about where lenin is now, ,

God's command to Adam and Eve was to fill the earth and subdue it. I have often wondered how things would be if the fall hadn't happened. Would we be visiting other solar systems by now? Taming the earth, IMO, is using the earth and its resources to meet out needs, not wastefully, but also not scrimping on necessities.

I share your ambivalence about Earth Day, Terry. I hate to see wanton waste and save energy whenever I can because it cuts my energy bills.

But I also hate to see some of the extremes the extremists want everyone else to go to, but don't always go to themselves. I don't see Al Gore going overseas by sailing ship or traveling around town or around the country on a bicycle or horse and buggy. Is his house powered exclusively by windmills or other renewable energy sources? If so, how were those generators made?

Thanks again, Terry; you have hit a note I often think about.

Welcome to the forum sub-moa. This section of the fourm is one of my favorites, and, I believe, is unique in the shooting forum world. The whole forum is a great place and full of caring, knowledgable people who like a good conversation and a good laugh.

Considering that the planet is going to be scorched with fire and literally laid to waste before the end of this generation, what difference does it make now?

Absolutely right, but those who believe there is no God sure make life difficult for us who do, in the mean time.

Yea, and I guess we shouldn't begrudge them their fun in the mean time. It would be somewhat like depriving those awaiting a death sentence of their last meal.

[jack404]

i'm another view, the more we spoil their "fun" the less of humanity they get to corrupt and send to hell

[ampaterry]

Wow!

One could get the impression that a LOT of folks have mixed feelings about Earth Day - -
Funny, that, when one stacks it up against the media talk, which is virtually 100% in FAVOR of any environ mental idea ever proposed.

For today:

There are numerous stories of selflessness that came out of the flood some years ago from hurricane Katrina.

One of them involved a small community of Vietnamese who had spent days in the horror of the evacuation center where lawlessness and anarchy took over and ruled for several days. Gangs preyed upon the refugees there, and robbery, rape, murder, all imaginable kinds of man’s inhumanity to man had been perpetrated upon these helpless victims that waited a seeming endless time to be removed from the stinking cesspool which the superdome had become.

Then, finally, the busses started to bring them out. After eleven hours of constant shuttling, there were more people to be evacuated than there were at the start. The word had gotten out that people were getting rides out of the flooded city from the superdome, and people were flooding into it faster than they were being removed. In the midst of the crowds, Geraldo Rivera described this small community of Vietnamese as “an island of tranquility in a sea of chaos”.

When their turn came to get a ride out of the horror they were all living in, they told the evacuation crew to go ahead and take the others; they would be glad to evacuate last. They sat, silent and composed, as a sea of humanity flowed around them, fighting and shoving for a chance at what they had calmly decided to put off until last.

You will find that the loud and the boisterous is not the strongest. Often, they make a lot of noise and bluster to cover their own fear. It is the quiet person, the calm person, that displays true strength. Remember Tim Allen in the movie Joe Somebody? He was humiliated by a bully at work in front of his daughter, and spent the rest of the movie receiving martial arts instruction to get back at the bully. In the end, he attains TRUE strength, and discovers that there is no reason to fight when he knows he will win.

I used this passage a few days ago, but it bears repeating:
Isaiah 30:15A (KJV);
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:

May God bless each one of us with that quiet confident strength that is so needed in this loud and boistrous world today -

Great, Terry;

Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day, once named Secretary's Day. There was a time when that name was appropriate, but it no longer fits the duties that are handled by these highly skilled and dedicated people. This day is always on Wednesday in the middle of Administrative Professionals Week, which is always the last full week in April. This week was first recognized in 1952 as Secretary's Week, and the name was changed in 2000.

The computer was in large part responsible for the transformation of the old 'secretary' into 'administrative professional. Gone are the days when a secretary sits in the bosses office and takes shorthand dictation, then later types out the correspondence on a typewriter. An administrative professional no longer needs to know shorthand, but they now have to understand a computer, and be very proficient in many different programs on it; a word processor, a spreadsheet, a data-base, a scheduling program and e-mail are almost universal everywhere, but each particular industry will have specific programs for their business which must be learned.

This is not a recognized national holiday in the United States, but instead it falls in the middle of the work week to allow employers to show their appreciation for Administrative Professionals while at work. Some recognitions are quite elaborate, with social gatherings, speeches, presentations, etc. Some other employers simply ignore the day completely, but most supervisors have a better understanding than that, and they will let their people know they are appreciated by taking them out to lunch, or some other way to show that their contributions are valuable to the company.

I wish every Administrative Professional out there a VERY happy day tomorrow. Understand that you are making a valuable contribution to your company, even if that company does not appear to recognize it. Take solace in the realization that the success of your boss would not be possible without you!

Scripture says nothing of Administrative professionals, but it addresses workers in general:
1 Timothy 5:18 (KJV);
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

May God bless each one of you, guys -

[BlackEagle]

Dad has has had a number of secretaries over the years and they have done great work for which he has been very grateful. They usually got married and moved on to family responsibilities.

Great to see them recognised.
Thanks.

Today is Yom HaZikaron, which is Israels Memorial Day. Today, the nation of Israel honors all fallen IDF soldiers and all victims of terrorism. The Hebrew calendar runs from sundown to sundown, so this observance began yesterday evening at sunset, and runs until sunset this evening. Yesterday at sundown, sirens were sounded in Israel, and the entire country came to a complete stop. Everything. Traffic on the highways stops. Everyone gets out of their vehicle and stands for the full minute the sirens sound, out of respect for their fallen hero's and the victims of the horrible terrorism which Israel has had to endure virtually constantly. All the Jews do this, even those who are not religious. Those that are religious said prayers at that time for the souls of the fallen. At the Western Wall, the official ceremony begins with the lowering of the national flag to half mast.

Today, at 11:00 AM, a two minute siren is sounded. This marks the beginning of the official ceremonies and private remembrances held in each cemetery where Israeli soldiers are buried. Tonight at sundown, on mount Herzl, the Israeli flag is restored to full mast, marking the end of the ceremonies.

The IDF is, in my opinion, one of the – if not THE – finest fighting force on this planet. Get a map. Look at Israel. Now look at the countries that surround her, ALL of which want Israel to cease to exist. And all of which have TRIED to eradicate this postage-stamp of a country. Imagine the Civil War that was fought here in the US with ALL states on the North side, and on the south side is only Atlanta. Now imagine that Atlanta WON! That is what it is like with Israel and the entire mid-east that opposes her. What are the odds of that? How in the WORLD could this nation survive in that hostile area?
It is due to forces from OUTSIDE of this world. Israel is the possession of the Jewish people, God's chosen people, and always will be. God promised it to Abraham, and God has never taken that promise back.

Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV);
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

Let us join our Jewish brothers and sisters today, and remember all those that have fallen to the forces of darkness that run rampant in this world, and let us look forward to the time that it will end - -

[pipeman525]

Terry while I agree with you that the IDF is a fine outfit, the best in the world, I think not. IMHO that title still belongs to the United States Marine Corp.
