An', honey chile, that's what I like about the South!  (Not.)

This is an actual ad that appears on my Gmail page often. How might they have known I so wanted an opportunity to demonstrate to the world what I abhore about the South and Protestant Christians of the variety that live there?

I opened the disgusting ad to give them a piece of my mind about hunting wild hogs.

But I then saw that they have Jesus involved in their cruel schemes and that sent me off in another direction.

They are truly without hope or merit. Many other lifetimes are needed before men who think hunting wild hogs as sport has any relationship to Jesus' teachings; to Christianity; to decency; to honor; to love; to anything that is good or positive or of the Light; will progress out of their Darkness.

Texas Best Hog Hunting

Helping you reach out to your lost Brother is our purpose and ministry. We know that the time to Christ's return is near, and every Christian from every walk of life should be busy about the Father's business, helping to bring in our lost brothers.

God can use anyone who is willing to do his work, and this became our realization when we asked Him, "but what can we do Father? We are in the hunting business, and how could you use us?" This plan of action and website was His answer.

He has directed our family to take our business and be about His business of winning the lost for Him. He has given us this plan.

As of this writing, we are also making our ranch available to the Men's Church Groups of the Christian Faith, and doing so at a deeply discounted rate. This is not about denomination, but about Christ and helping you to be "living proof of a loving God to a watching world."

Do you have a brother, father, son, friend, or neighbor that you have invited to go to church, but they have continually refused? Have you tried to witness to your lost friends or family to no avail? Have they refused to hear about Christ through the traditional means? This is where the Lord has led us to help fill the gap.

They may have continually refused to go to church with you, but would they like to go hunting with you, and do so at a really good price? This will give you an opportunity to spend several days of travel and hunting with them, and let them see Christ through you. The goal being, to win your lost friend to Christ.

To help you facilitate a group hunt that is affordable, we are offering your Men's Group of 12-16 men, the Ranch Hand Hog Hunt Package, valued at $499 per hunter, for free. These group hunts are to be taken from April 1 to October 1 of each year, with check in days of Sunday-Wednesday only. Not included are the guide fee, hunting license, hog cleaning/processing or gratuities.

Libya's new regime has introduced itself on the world stage as a cadre of Western-sponsored thugs that are, at the very least, no better than was Muammar Gaddafi. 

They and the world know how Gaddafi died.  He was shot through the left temple by one of the tennis-shoed "rebels" the West supported with countless air strikes for half a year and more.

For the new regime to desecrate the man's remains by continuing to keep them on public display in a meat locker while calling for an "investigation" into his death reeks of disingenuous chicanery.

They have learned their first lesson well from the US and other Western administrations that put them in power:  Lie without reservation whenever such serves the geopolitical goals of your regime or your puppet masters.

Now, since Obama's regime, all of a sudden, folks have gotten mad, and want to take America Back...BACK TO WHAT/WHERE is my question?????

The photo ops are too staged and perfect.

The "anti-Gaddafi" fighters are too young and are without uniforms in many cases. They lack the look of battle-hardened soldiers.

Something is wrong in this picture.

I don't believe all that the media of the West is peddling about the war in Libya.

If Muammar Gaddafi has been toppled, it was done by NATO aircraft with a lot of logistical support from the United States, if not direct involvement. It was not done by those young men being photographed by the media.

I question what the motives of the West are in toppling this North African Muslim regime. I have always questioned those motives.

Seldom does the United States do anything to avenge "human rights violations". More often than not, as in Iraq, they invent new ways to violate human rights, if so doing will further world capitalism's cause.

I do not doubt that Muammar Gaddafi was a ruthless strong arm dictator, as was Saddam Hussein. But in both cases, I seriously question the alleged altruism involved in the US and Great Britain's enthusiasm for righting wrongs and liberating Arab masses.

Does Libya have petroleum reserves?

Do western companies stand to gain anything monetarily in the Libya shake up?

Again, I am suspicious of all the cheerleading in the West about a rag tag band of non-uniformed young men routing Gaddafi.

I question the factual nature of the reporting and I question the motives of those that have bombed Muammar Gaddafi into oblivion, if that is truly the case.

Democrats begged Barack Obama not to give in to John Boehner on the prime time speech issue, as on many other issues in the recent past.  But the President had blinked and given the GOP another victory before the ink was dry in pleas that he act presidential one time and not be frightened by blue-eyed John Boehner.

When will you accept, Democrats, that Barack Obama lacks the courage or spunk to stand up and defy Republicans on any issue?  Ever?

He will always defer to a John Boehner or Mitch McConnell to the last day of his abortive one-term presidency.  

Obama is a nice guy--too nice to be president of this nation of scoundrels. 

We need a kick-ass president who would have demanded Wednesday night's air time, regardless of a Republican debate.

After all, Barack Obama IS the President and occupies that unique "bully pulpit" of which Teddy Roosevelt spoke. 

Obama seems unable to grasp the potential for good that was his when Americans elected him.  He has frittered it all away.  He will go down in history as a weak president.
