The Idiots are Coming to Joplin - 05/27/11 10:10 AM
The idiots that spew hatred wherever they go, better known as the Westboro Baptist Church, are on there way to Joplin this Sunday to celebrate the deaths of over 126 people as a judgement from God. Please note that despite what they claim these people are not Christian in any way. The word Christian means to be Christ like. No where in scripture does Christ exhibit any of the traits of these morons. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them. Maybe they just can't read. If they did they'd have seen scriptures like these.

The Joplin, MO Tornado 5/22/2011 - 05/23/11 10:28 PM
What a day yesterday. I had a bad feeling about the day and stayed home from church last night.

I got the following in an email from Senator Claire McCaskill today. Following that is my response to her email.

Every year, billions of our tax dollars are given away to companies that made $36 billion in profits during this year's first … (2 comments)

Are You Kidding Me?? - 05/06/11 09:39 AM
I thought it was bad a week or so when I saw an article that said kids were being handed Spring Spheres or something like that rather than Easter eggs for Easter. This week I'm in Austin and I saw a crawl saying that some are proposing that we stop calling our pets, pets, because it somehow hurts their feelings. Are you kidding me? Did anyone ask this person immediately for a drug test? What a strange world we live in.

Quote of the Day - 05/05/11 11:47 PM
Wise words from a minister that I really enjoy listening to on the radio. He's no longer with us but his words still ring true.
"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half … (7 comments)
