Eisenhower's Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, just 4 years after having left the cabinet in Washington DC where he served the full 8 years in the Cabinet, despite all predictions that he would be the first one in the cabinet to be removed, given his severe anti-Socialist policies, seeking to undo the bondage and destruction brought on by the New Deal as government now had moved far outside of it's jurisdiction and constitutional bounds.<br /><br />Ezra Taft Benson had been an apostle 22 years at the time this talk was given, and it was unprecedented that in such a capacity he would have been freed up to accept a position in Eisenhower's Cabinet, but LDS Church President David O. McKay instructed Benson to accept the offer of the Cabinet position if it came in a proper spirit.<br /><br />President David O. McKay, was listening to this talk as it was given, he was part of the audience, and he too stood in strong opposition to Socialism and Communism, recognizing and warning of treason from within.<br /><br />Speeches such as this one have continually stirred up darkness and the wrath of Establishment Lucifarian's who "murder for Gain" as they "combine" to overthrow the freedom of all nations, lands and countries. These vicious murderers get indignant and angry at those who speak out and expose their corruption, and thus it was with the Establishment unleashing their wrath upon Ezra Taft Benson.<br /><br />Those frothing at the mouth against Benson, seeking every way to attack him and his person in order to rationalize away his bold declarations of treason are fools. Some would seek to appoint themselves as holding greater knowledge and credentials of this subject matter,<br />Many of the abominations or "deceptions" noted and told about in the above clip you did not hear of in your history class in high school, and doubtful in college. Yes, there is and has been a conspiracy of such huge proportions that most people can't comprehend it could be possible. Indeed, this combination and wickedness is "more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and more powerfully promoted than ever before." (Ezra Taft Benson, “I Testify,” Ensign, Nov. 1988, p.86.) </p><p>Read and Listen to More......</p><p><a href="http://www.awakeandarise.org/article/AboutUs.htm">Awake and Arise</a></p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-73269089315177789322008-09-30T15:53:00.000-07:002008-09-30T16:00:55.076-07:00Take Some Responsibility Will You?<p>By 2004, all of the elements of the current financial collapse had been in place for several years. The aggressive approach to enforcing the Jimmy Carter Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) started under Bill Clinton in 1998, and the seemingly endless appetite of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had turned massive numbers of bad loans into mortgage-backed government securities and had spread like cancer throughout the system. In 2004, a year after the "Failed Policies of the Bush Administration" tried to tighten regulation and oversight on Fannie and Freddie, Congress was told yet again that disaster loomed. The Democratic response is very insightful to seeing who really is responsible in allowing this collapse to occur.</p><p><object height="349" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_MGT_cSi7Rs&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_MGT_cSi7Rs&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object></p><p>Now Im not pointing the finger at any party......

The new vehicle could wear the Isetta badge made popular on microcars from the past. "It'll be a car with a completely new look, with two engines available. One will be a very efficient combustion engine and the other will be a purely electric model," says Reithofer. Speculation is that the electric model will get over 200 miles per charge. What information is known what internal combustion engine is slated for the Isetta, but BMW has plenty of experience with small and efficient engines from its Motorcycle division. I like BMWs..... I really like this one.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1DOY8ZdTn-wPU8S1W9SZUBMnvV2MHBeAEEvGTeImpi7Yz4Rp1jojuQJCtjQytTu-p8jewMUn5ZXfqxWuKZ4rzr8cYAtIj0ltpzMXNXKNrXxItFcuAC9ZZ2lDvDWq7jffJHxccX8mEgQ/s1600-h/bmw-isetta-spaceball.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247458506773704418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1DOY8ZdTn-wPU8S1W9SZUBMnvV2MHBeAEEvGTeImpi7Yz4Rp1jojuQJCtjQytTu-p8jewMUn5ZXfqxWuKZ4rzr8cYAtIj0ltpzMXNXKNrXxItFcuAC9ZZ2lDvDWq7jffJHxccX8mEgQ/s400/bmw-isetta-spaceball.png" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-59512802747630883772008-09-17T19:20:00.000-07:002008-09-18T00:10:07.920-07:00Clothesline Update<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPXX6VbV0rGHzUl5-3KLFnct2_qN3_5wpoQH970mh2RclocAIF_5KNqYf785w8vIVdqWoOryIu80YjXcKQQRtPwxsBTHDh4lFmtNJYQjPs2to4e4El6230fLY6_h3CdpukC8pKmC7qzU/s1600-h/100_1297.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247181514269251442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPXX6VbV0rGHzUl5-3KLFnct2_qN3_5wpoQH970mh2RclocAIF_5KNqYf785w8vIVdqWoOryIu80YjXcKQQRtPwxsBTHDh4lFmtNJYQjPs2to4e4El6230fLY6_h3CdpukC8pKmC7qzU/s400/100_1297.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Stacie has decided that hanging clothes on the clothesline is one of her favorite activities.

However when I make a long distance phone call from a land line and forget to dial the "1"... I get the annoying tone and voice telling me that I "must first dial a 1 when calling the number"..... We are the Greatest Nation on Gods Green Earth and our technologies are second to none. If the the phone companies computer is smart enough to know I am not making a local phone call..... Can't the computer just, CONNECT THE DARN PHONE CALL ANYWAYS!<br /><br />The End.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-69791318888518939682008-08-14T12:45:00.000-07:002008-08-14T12:49:40.975-07:00For Reiley and Maira<div align="left">Who think that we had Children so that they could be our slaves.</div><div align="left"> </div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxFqELCoT2x-kyinGKYgA3feEOMx7Jc8_MTiq2cMi4ZdCXWu6Nrp48ZKNK8fKP5Caw6buooM9cSBv_ep4DjtA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-89506618839858578502008-08-13T16:25:00.000-07:002008-08-14T12:58:45.273-07:00Compounding Ignorance.....This is a letter taken from NPR's Car Talk. Tom and Ray (also known as Click and Clack) host a weekly Call in Radio Show where they help callers with their car problems. I find it very entertaining.<br /><br />"I am writing to offer profound thanks to you for resolving an important philosophical question that has been heatedly debated for the last twenty years. The rumination began on a construction site one summer in the early 1970's, as my friend Jamie and I were working our way through college. The question we raised and have agonized over, lo these many years, is one that I've never read about in any philosophical treatise, and yet I have found it has applied to countless situations and conversations overheard in bars, repair shops, sporting events, political debates, etc. etc. etc.<br /><br />"Posit the question: Do two people who don't know what they are talking about know more or less than one person who doesn't know what he's talking about? (Pardon the un-PC masculine pronoun, but I have found this to be, most predominately, a male phenomenon.)<br /><br />"In your recent conversations regarding electric brakes on a cattle carrier, I believe you definitely answered this query and have put our debate to rest. Amazingly enough, you proved that even in a case where one person might know nothing about a subject, it is possible for two people to know even less!<br /><br />"One person will only go so far out on a limb in his construction of deeply hypothetical structures, and will often end with a shrug or a raising of hands to indicate the dismissability of his particular take on a subject. With two people, the intricacies, the gives and takes, the wherefores and why-nots, can become a veritable pas-de-deux of breathtaking speculation, interwoven in such a way that apologies or gestures of doubt are rendered unnecessary.<br /><br />"I had always suspected this was the case, but no argument I could have built from my years of observation would have so satisfyingly closed the door on the subject as your performance on the cattle carrier call. To begin your comments by saying, "We'll answer your question if you tell us how electric brakes work" and "We've never heard of electric brakes" and then indulge in lengthy theoretical hypostulations on the whys and wherefores of the caller's problem allowed me to observe that you were finally putting this gnarly question to rest.<br /><br />"I am forever indebted to you for the great service you have performed! I'm truly impressed that it took so many years of listening to your show to finally have this matter resolved."<br /><br />Sincerely, Andy R.<br /><br />P.S. If you say hello to Jamie in Ojai, California, you'll save me a long distance phone call.<br /><br />P.P.S. If you read this on the air, can you at least send me one of your cheap audio cassettes, so one day my grandchildren will know I accomplished something in my lifetime.

If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever--DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK, you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends and immediately seek one or both of the following antidotes:</p><ul><li>Motivation Override Volume <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Inbasket</span> Eliminators (MOVIES).</li><li>and/or Good And Meaningful Exercises (GAMES). </li></ul><p>Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. </p><p>For those not able to take the above antidotes, chocolate and/or ice cream will suffice at fighting this virus as well.</p><p>Some have chosen to seek out the following medications: Work Isolation Neutralizer Extract (WINE)and Bothersome Employer Elimination <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rebooter</span> (BEER). Although these are effective, they leave behind some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">undesirable</span> side effects. Like forgetting where you parked you car, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">embarrassing</span> videos showing up on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Facebook</span> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">YouTube</span>. It is recommended to avoid these medications.<br /><br />Without immediate treatment new symptons will arise such as TEMPER (Temporarily Emotional Mad Person Enraged Repeatedly), FITs (Freedom Interupting Traumas) and GRIPEs (Greatly Ruined and Interupted Personal Environments). You should immediately forward this medical alert to all your friends. If you do not have friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.<br /></p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-65826635978570628642008-07-30T23:43:00.000-07:002008-07-31T10:22:59.080-07:00A Little More Politics...A friends father left me a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Schrute</span> Buck and said the media has been too kind to McCain.

Super Healthty, I can make the walk from my front door to the office in less than 45 minutes.</li><li>Wake Stacie and the children up to have her drive me.... I have nver done this nor would I. (I value my life)</li><li>Take the Bus.... It picks me up almost in front of my house and drops me off downtown in Oak Harbor. A short 3 minute walk and I am sitting in my office Chair.</li></ol><p>Now I am not a Global Warming Alarmist by any means. I would consider myself more of a skeptic in the "fact" that me and my car have caused some great climate crisis. I don't deny that there is warming, however I think its part of a greater climate change cycle that has happened since the Lord created the earth. I may go into that latter, but back on topic.</p><p>Island Transit if FREE! Doesn't cost me a shiny nickel to ride. Here is a statement from the Island Transit web site.</p><p>"The Island Transit Board of Directors feels that charging a fare is contrary to the mission of Island Transit. Typically, for smaller or rural transit systems, collecting a fare generates virtually no usable revenue because of the costs associated with the collection of the fare!!! In addition, the farebox imposes an unnecessary inconvenience which is detrimental to ridership, and therefore contrary to the mission. Island Transit is pre-paid with a local Sales Tax of 6/10ths of 1% on every dollar spent in Island County."<br /><br />Hmmm... With all the money that King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties (and their incorporated cities) collect in taxes, their transit systems should be fare free also.<br /><br />See how you can save gas money by taking the bus.<br /><br /><a href="http://islandtransit.org/">http://islandtransit.org/</a><br /><br />Did I mention it was free?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeFvi6fPerK5m6-mCJ3YYxVkdLAY35qD99PbqW78HkoyfJtYbg8n8ucq05XLJXYj-90aeFj4ST3MhRcq_C0zFRZPdATipwrwyzMzSxhOLswfCZuBIqDUjWEo-R36jMibcZ1naPmlNcZP0/s1600-h/Island+Transit+Logo.JPG"></a></p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09816501326074963631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021194799567684263.post-72010995094362755582008-07-29T14:40:00.000-07:002008-07-29T14:46:03.309-07:00OH YAH!!!!
