Christmas Is Coming

Peace on earth, good will to men.  What's wrong with that?  It's a time of renewal, a chance to get right.  Light shining in the darkness.

Christianity is a faith (not religion) of life.  Sure, some have perverted it and there are a few even now who think death for those who oppose them is dandy. 

According to the story, Jesus was born into the world to set the record straight between God and humankind.  There is no getting off the hook.

There is a religion (chained behavior) which celebrates death.  It is the antithesis of all other ways, save for Satanism/luciferianism.  I'm oversimplifying some but that's about it.

Death need not be feared with Jesus, let alone many other faiths.  It's not to be pursued for its own sake but when inevitable, as it always is, it is transition. 

Peace.  For us it is liberation.  Sadly in this world, it must be fought for.  Debate that if you like.  But there are various ways to fight.

It is not submission upon fear of punishment or death, though there is a case for being lost and found.

Love finds a way.  You can debate about punishment but we often punish ourselves and the fallen aid and abet separation from God/that which heals/reconciles.

Who or what wants to quell or quash that?

In mental health there is talk of controlling due to lack of self.  That greatly sums up hell and anyone or thing which robs us of self control.

Freewill gives us the opportunity to control with guidance from God.

There has been a concerted effort over time to shut the message of Christmas up.  Even mentioning 'Merry Christmas' is looked upon like that which is its opposite.

We have a new birth of Freedom and that includes just saying the former.  To live it is divine.

A breeze?  No.  But easier.

Whatever you believe, accept my heartfelt good will.

Merry Christmas.

Gun Trauma

There have been accidents with firearms.  They are fortunately infrequent, but each one hammers in the din of collectivist frenzy to disarm.

There was a tragic accident several years ago at a range.  A girl, round ten, lost control of a Mac 10 and shot the instructor, killing him.

Just recently some guy mistook a dog walking neighbor for a deer and shot and killed her.

The collectivists are dizzy with ecstasy when these events happen just as they are when a 'mass shooting' occurs.

While tragic, these events are rare.  Much is done to eliminate such tragedy.  Yet tragedy pokes through relatively rarely.

People have to manage themselves.  And the number of responsible, competent gunowners is overwhelming.  Up to 2/12 million lives are saved with guns every year.

Yet, we should deal with tragedy's aftermath.  There is often regret or even repugnance concerning gun usage.  People become phobic and can't deal with the object.  Like car accidents, horse injuries, even dog bites, allow fear to dominate results.

Various caring therapies can and should be applied, but never forced.  That's what got folks into trouble in the first place. 

I suggest responsibility in the form of training continues.  Precaution and safety, repeatedly.  It worked for me and now our kids.

Gun ownership/usage is an awesome responsibility.

Take care of yourselves.

Morning Talks

In grade school, back in the day, we had what were called 'morning talks'.

This consisted of each student every morning, giving a 3 to 5 minute talk on a subject of his/her choice.

The subjects consisted of very down to earth things, such as how to make and bake a pie, how to fish, baseball, you name it.

When it came to my turn, I guess I was different.

We rotated through the year and among my topics I included monster makeup in movies, talking about monsters/scifi characters, Western movies/TV shows and guns.  Yes, I talked about collecting them and some of the different kinds.  Noone batted an eye.

Need I say how we've changed culturally?  The collectivists have done a 'good' job making such things verboten and at least outre.  Except, for some of us, it has remained the same.

Now, I don't live in the past.  But, there are constants.  Our basic principles dealing with Liberty have not altered, not one iota.  It sure rubs against the grain of cultural Marxism.

I am asking each of you to carry on.  The collectivists call us reactionaries.  They say we are a dying breed.  I was told this recently, intimating I would be eliminated.  To them I say try and see what you get.  Lessons in Freedom await.

Pass it on.  It's how I learned, beginning in those days of yesteryear and continuing with my own kids and other young ones.  Freedom to share, cogently and steadfastly do more than survive the wretched disease of liberalism/collectivism.  We assure the Republic rises and shines in a new morning, freshly traditional.

I used to wonder how to fill those 3 to 5 minutes.  To a kid it seemed a long time.  I found, as did most, that the time flew when taking up a topic which was loved.  Our teachers I hope still smile at us for inspiring us to communicate.

A few minutes.  A fresh start. 

Time is flying.

Fly with it.

True Or False

I've talked many times about casting aspersions, or as I say pointing the finger.  It's an age old collectivist ruse.

Point the finger and take attention away from the perps/instigators etal.

There is a rash, to say the least, of accusations of rape, sexual abuse and coercion amongst the Hollywood crowd and politicians. 

The preponderance of belief is on the side of the accuser.  It is a twosided coin. 

Of course victims/abused are encouraged to speak up.  Shame and intimidation kept secrets quiet with commensurate turmoil.   

It's quite a mess, a very squirmy plate of dysfunction. 

First one, then another, in both frequently overlapping spheres, have collapsed in a flurry of accusation.

Many have lost credibility and have lost not just prestige, but work too. 

Their reputations, often already shady, having garnered stories, bribes and in some cases 'accidents' buying silence.

Do you want to make it in Hollywood?  Want power, influence, wealth?  Shut up and go with the flow.  No matter how disgusting, what can one person do?  And even if you do, who is going to back accusations?  Silence is bought at the price of not just money, but also souls.  It's a two edged sword.

Now when attention is finally gained, there is the question of believability as mentioned before. Is it enough to just say someone did something?  Of course not.  And a legal process is engaged, for weal or woe.

Evidence must be gathered, witnesses vetted and claims corroborated.  If pointing a finger were enough, then many innocent people would be condemned.  And even when actually found innocent, reputations are usually ruined.  There is the lingering doubt that maybe there is something to it in spite of all.

Here is my take on the current situation.

There are many guilty.  Some are encouraged, since they have what they wanted, to jump on the victim train.  And for most, that is enough for alleged perps to lose prestige and power.

At this time, there is an immense sweep of child rapists, often rescuing children in current peril, let alone victims of yesteryear.  It is the most ambitious undertaking in garnering justice in our history and perhaps even the world. 

The spheres overlap and politicians are falling as well.

It is timing I question with the coming out of accusations.  None of it is hardly re kids.  It's taking a blow, seeming to deflect what's happening.

And when a crucial election is about to happen, suddenly people pop up pointing away.

Questionable 'actors' are brought to play.  It is enough to stymie many.

Truth and falsity vie while actual victims suffer. 

And it might be a round about way to manufacture a takedown for several.

May it be a real opportunity to exact justice and not a witch hunt.

The masks are falling.

We are able to see at long last just who and what is at stake.
