What is the Trigger?

Christianity began with Jesus about two thousand years ago. Catholicism bases itself on three basics: the Old Testament Bible, the New Testament Bible, and Tradition. The movement went unchanged until Martin Luther decided enough was enough. He had a long list of complaints about the things Catholics believed and Rome condoned. He decided to post his list, and to begin a new religion based on the more traditional rules. Since then, Christianity has fractionated many times over into many sects all proclaiming their religion the one that leads to heaven. There are many versions of the bible and depending on which religion you profess decides which version of the bible you follow. Catholics follow only their approved version( Nihil Obstat), Others follow the Saint James version. All of the fractions base themselves on Jesus’ teachings. The fact remains that Catholicism is the one true religion based on Jesus. All the others are inventions of men who have become dissatisfied with one thing or another with the Catholic Church, like selling indulgences, divorce, the Pope, etc. Before that, Judaism was the religion  professing  one God, and a life after death.(Heaven).

I present these facts because I want to make some sense out of the Muslim contention that Islam is the one true religion and that their God is the only God. They also contend that the Koran is the word of their God, and that the Koran contains the guiding principles of Islam. Because the laws contained in the Koran are from their God they over-ride all other law.

What I have trouble with is the hypocrisy of the many Muslim groups professing that they are not the Muslims who profess terror. They are not the radicalized Muslims. They are peaceful, loving, and caring people. Yet, it is always a Muslim who knowingly straps a bomb to his body and walks into a crowded arena to pull the trigger.

Muslims are fractionated just like Christians, and they call themselves Sunni, Shia, Wah Habi, Radicalized, and maybe some more too, but they all purport to derive their beliefs from the same laws contained in the Koran. At least when Luther broke from Roman Catholicism he listed all the problems he had with the system as it was. These became the basis for the new sect called Lutheranism. Where are these same writings for Muslims? Where are the different versions of the Koran that they use to teach their form of Islam? All I ever hear is that the Koran is the word of God and that is what they go by. How can we know which sect of Islam a radical, or a peace-lover truly believe in if they all follow the same word of God? How do the Imams teach the values of their sect when the words of the Koran are the same no matter what? Do all Imams interpret and teach the Koran exactly thee same?

Peaceful Muslims would like us all to believe they are not radicals, yet radicals seem to migrate from within their peace-loving congregations. Why is that? What is the trigger that sets a peace-lover into a bomb blasting beheader? Which word in the Koran sets this person off? If they know what does it, then why don’t a peace-loving Imams revise the Koran so the trigger words are not in their version? As the King in Anna and the King of Siam once said, “Is a puzzlement.”

Will somebody please clear this up for me?

Transforming the First Amendment

Posted on 13/02/2015 by Grumpa Joe

Well America the transformation goes on behind closed doors as we live and watch videos on the internet. Last week the transparent White House held a non-transparent secret meeting with Muslims. What is Obama hiding from us? Why can’t we know who the people are who attended? The transparency of this meeting overwhelms me. When  the most powerful man in the world holds secret meetings with Muslims it cannot be for the good of the entire country. Most likely it is for the good of Muslims only. Since when did the Bill of Rights extend special privileges for one group of people only?

It is obvious by Obama’s Muslim sympathy that he is a closet Muslim and wants the USA to become Muslim with Sharia Law and Mosques and Muslims slaying infidels (you and me) on the street without recourse. Sharia might be the only way he can dominate his wife and at the same time add a few more women to his harem.

It is time to make Obama disappear from the role he has. He must be removed and sent into exile to a solid Muslim country where he will live in his comfort zone.

Watch this video by Pat Condell to hear a very angry British citizen tell us what transpires in Obama’s beloved Europe. Digest what Condell says and understand he is right.

Shadow of Crisis

Posted on 22/01/2015 by Grumpa Joe

Today, I opened an eMail from Senator John McCain. In it he made his pitch for why I should send him money. Since I didn’t watch the State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening something McCain wrote caught my eye. He quoted Obama directly “the shadow of crisis has passed.” Really? These words fall into the same class as “Al Queda is on the run.” Somehow, I do not, nor cannot believe we are out of crisis with Radical Islam. I am one of those people who believe the bad guys will never come to the shores of our great country. Yet, each time I drive by the mosque in my one hundred and sixty-five year old town of Frankfort, Illinois I get the shivers. When I first settled here in 1990, the mosque was a curiosity. I had heard about it, but never saw it because the tiny building hid in the woods along Saint Francis Road. Amazingly, the Muslims decided to build their mosque within a half mile from the Franciscan Retreat Center run by Franciscan Nuns for which the street is named.

Today, the mosque is visible from the road, and sports a golden dome. This new mosque is about five years old and it is thriving. Where did all the muslims come from? My theory is they immigrated here as students in medical schools. Many of them from Pakistan, Iraq, and Egypt. There are thriving medical complexes centered around Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Little Company of Mary Hospital In Evergreen Park, South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, Saint James Hospital in Olympia Fields, and Chicago Heights.  These hospitals demand a huge staff of doctors and technicians. If you have ever been unlucky enough to have been a patient in any of these places, you are aware that there is a large population of Doctors from the Mid-Eastern countries. Many of them are muslim.

One day, as I drove down Aberdeen Road on my way home from work, I passed by the Hussein house. An elderly white-haired, bearded gentleman was walking around the property hands behind his back, and dressed in white Muslim garb. It turns out that Dr. Hussein who lived there brought his parents to America to live with him. His story has repeated thousands of times across the Chicago area, and  has resulted in a significant muslim population. Add to this population the many refugees coming from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and every other Mid-Eastern country and the muslims grow in numbers exponentially.

So what does all my bloviating have to do with the President’s remark? I fear that one of these many peace-loving muslims will radicalize and cut my head off.

Obama has no clue about how to treat muslims. They have been a warring people from the beginning of recorded history, and they respond only to one kind of governance, War Lords and Dictators. How do War Lords and Dictators rule? By force. He who cuts the most heads off is the guy in charge.

Time to Reawaken America

Posted on 05/01/2015 by Grumpa Joe

DSCN2894

For most of us the new year brings on new goals and fresh aspirations. My goals are neatly written and in a place that easily accessible for regular review. My aspirations remain the same as they have been since 2008, dump Obama and get this country back on track. The transformation promised by Obama is heading forward, but most of us still don’t understand what the transformation is. I saw it happening during his first campaign. His rhetoric reminded me of another man who fifty years earlier spewed the same BS. At that time it was Fidel Castro who mesmerized the world with his words. I am a child of World War Two. I am fully aware of communism and what communism means. My relatives living in Europe lived under communist regimes. None of them were very happy, and many were very hungry most of the time. My mother saved her relatives by sending care packages from the USA. She filled them with old clothes so her niece could remake them for her family.

As part of my aspiration to fight communism it is time to share the tenets of our country’s favorite communist i.e. one Saul Alinsky. Alinsky authored a book titled Rules for Radicals which Obama and Hillary studied, and which Obama uses as his transformation plan. If you are not fully aware of what I am talking about, or if the rules below are not familiar it is because you have not been paying attention. I can only add that if you don’t wake up and soon, you will find yourself living in a country transformed into a socialist state with a new form of government. The new government will not have three equal and separate branches, it will be a dictatorship with one person in charge, and you know who that will be.

How to create a socialist state by Saul Alinsky:

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

1) Healthcare Control healthcare and you control the people (Obamacare in place)

2) Poverty Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. (Record numbers of people on food stamps, disability, and welfare)

3) Debt Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.(Eighteen trillion dollars and growing fast)

4) Gun Control Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. (Every chance he gets there is a grab for our guns, the latest being a UN treaty to remove guns)

(5) Welfare Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) Flood the welfare system with thousands of new illegal immigrants from Central America

6) Education Take control of what people read and listen to, and take control of what children learn in school.(Implement Common Core in schools. Repeated attempts to pass the Fairness Doctrine to squash conservative talk radio and TV, including Muslim doctrine in class)

7) Religion Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools (We see evidence of this in our schools almost daily, and there is also a massive influx of Muslims who will eliminate Christianity)

8) Class Warfare Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. (Al Sharpton in charge of the Ferguson incident to divide the country racially, and to sic people against law and order.)

Like I said before, if you don’t see these things happening you are living in another world.

The True Meaning

Posted on 21/11/2014 by Grumpa Joe

Wow! I struck gold today. Two gift videos from friends who thought enough to share some great feelings. This one is from Mike, a Lion friend. Sainsbury, an English company produced this video.  The sentiment in the story is one which we should all feel and share. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if the two sides of any issue would deal with a solution like the fellows in this movie. Enjoy.
