BLOGGER'S BLANK

Gadzooks! Has it been twelve days since I last visited this wonderful instrument for expressing religious and political views without fear of government repercussions?

Indeed. A blog neglected for that much time is surely needing some periodic attention. I occasionally read my latest posts and mull possible ideas. But it takes a full-blown inspiration from somewhere to attack the blog with both fingers (and thumbs).

Having started a third paragraph without so much as a link to FOXNews.com is a sad situation. Writer's block has permutated to Blogger's blank.

With that said, perhaps it is good to be involved with online classes to keep my mind active and working, so that I can come up with stellar blog posts like this one. I wonder at times if this endeavor is living up to all of the hype about blogging.

The ultimate Blogger's Blank is to blog about blogging. A columnless column. Maybe this is just a warm up to a bigger and better post. One thinks and hopes so.

LAUNDRY LIST OF ISSUES

I am posting a link to the exhaustive list of World Net Daily coverage of the Barak Obama eligibility issue.

http://www.wnd.com/eligibility

The way I see it, if you have "nothing to hide," and "transparency" is your policy, then you should release your long-form birth certificate. But since our crooked Liar-in-Chief is so hell-bent on taking over the world, why should he bother us truth-seekers with such irrelevant trivia?

CLASS ASSIGNMENT

Today's post is a fulfillment of a class assignment for an online course I'm taking on Web development. Yes, the Web needs developing, doesn't it...

In any event, I hope to score all possible points with this "home run" of a blog post, which I hope it will be when I'm done with it. At this point, I must clue my teachers in. I have been blogging for a while, so I hope this already-existing blog will meet the requirement. 

Now the challenge of blogging is coming up with a topic that interests me (out of the myriad that interest me), and  discussing it (with myself) in a reasonably intelligent manner. This is more of a challenge than you might think. So many ideas run through my mind. Yet only a very select few pass muster and get hurled into cyberspace.

Word-smithing, another way of saying, "beating the tar out of your thoughts," is quite a craft and an art. Blogging is an ideal way to get it out there. To see your work in print is the most gratifying accomplishment, right after landing on the moon, of course!

Well, instead of taking any more bits of bandwidth, I'd like to bid you farewell. 

So I will.

OH, OH, A BIRTH CERTIFICATE BROUHAHA

Today's kudos (acclaim or praise) goes to my brother and his blog, The Machiavellian Messiah, which follows the destructive and counterproductive policies and activities of "President" Barack Obama's administration.

For those of us who have to look up "machiavellian" in the dictionary, it means, "of or relating to the political doctrine of [Niccolo] Machiavelli... an Italian political theorist" who lived from 1469-1527. He held that "craft and deceipt are justified in pursuing and maintaining political power."(The American Heritage Dictionary)

That said, here is a link (or two) for the World Net Daily stories about such things, and their eventual discovery:

BORN IN THE USA?

Is this really smoking gun of Obama's Kenyan birth?
Attorney files motion for authentication of alleged 1960s certificate from Africa


Obama: Where have all his records gone?
Footprints of president's own history either vanish or remain covered up

I hope it is not copyright infringement if I post these links exactly as formatted on the original source documents. I'll keep you posted.

I have to wonder if all of this is true! My, how far we've strayed as a country from the foundations of freedom and civility based on the Bible! Let's get back.

Stop! In the Name of Bank Policy!

A little story about a bank teller who was fired for apprehending a bank robber caught my eye on FOXNews.com today. I pondered the bank's policy prohibiting action against the perpetrator unless personal safety was at risk.

Well, duh. His personal safety was at risk!

I know, the police-- rightly so-- want witnesses to report the crime, not to be heroes who may not live to tell their side of the story.

This was another case from the Too Bad Department of crime fighting. I'm sure another bank will snatch him up faster than a running bank robber.

THE RIGHT VIEW... AGAIN

Well, I finally found someone in "high places" who agrees with me and a whole lot of other people that Professor Gates was sooooooooooooooo wrong in his disrespectful tirade against a police officer who earned every right to shut that rabble-rouser up any legal way possible. I'm sure Gates' neighbors were happy to see him taken to the station as well. That is, after all, what he wanted: more fodder for his racist documentary on being black in America.

Nothing like stirring the pot, eh, Professor?

HEALTHCARE IN PERSPECTIVE

Sean Hannity has produced a very provocative special program called, "Universal Nightmare," which aired last night. I was riveted by it. For a recap, FOXNews.com has a series of video excerpts from it here.

ANN COULTER GETS IT

...and she puts it in clear terms for dummies like me. When it comes to health care "reform," I need a good, solid, right-wing, conservative, fire-breathing woman like Coulter to use her sharp wit and biting sarcasm to clarify the issue.

Find her hilarious article, "Take Two Aspirin and Call Me When Your Cancer is At Stage Four," here at Townhall.com.

HERE'S WHAT'S IN STORE

Y'know, instead of calling this blog, "Worldview Window," I should call it, "The Kudos Heaper!" I like to read other people's blogs (OPB) occasionally and recommend them in this blog.

Well, today brings me (and you) to Arizona Storage Inns. It is the official organ of the self-storage facility of the same name, managed by my brother. I must admit, he takes his business very seriously. But he also takes a light-hearted, humorous approach to life (and self-storage). Just read his blog and you'll see what I mean!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN CALVIN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Wow! You don't look a day over 499! But, alas, your 500th birthday will pass like an obscure holiday to a select (elect) few.

Well, I for one required a bit of encouragement and peer pressure (in Christ) to celebrate if not remember John Calvin and his theological legacy, which has fallen upon disrepute ever since he lived here on earth.

Don't get me wrong: I know he was only a man. But in terms of historical and theological importance, Calvin is second only to the Apostle Paul, perhaps.

I am listening to a lecture by Albert Mohler on Ligonier.org called, "John Calvin: Preacher and Teacher."

In this recessionary economy and amidst much political and international uproar, we Christians can "retreat" and take refuge in the historic Christian faith, trusting afresh in Christ our strong tower of refuge, our God and King.

"PRESIDENT" OBAMA, ARE YOU LISTENING?

I just had to post a link to my brother's blog, The Machiavellian Messiah. It is an excellent comment on the current brouhaha over the issue of citizenship and constitutional eligibility with our "president," Barack H. Obama. I respectfully put his title in quotes because I am now ambivalent as to whether he really is a U.S. citizen.

It's not the fact that he is or is not a citizen: it's the duplicity with which he and his campaign have virtually hidden otherwise-accessible facts about his early life and past history.

Do we not as the American people deserve to know the truth, especially about our own president?

If he is proven to be defrauding us, then may God purge this evil from among us and deliver our nation from the ramifications and effects of this "administration."

IRAN IS CRASHING THE INTERNETS!!!

Just a thought.

I wonder if all that traffic from Iran (and indeed around the world) is causing an unprecedented slowdown of Internet speeds not seen since dial-up days, and hindering at least my end of the Information Superhighway from loading web pages and connecting to them.

It is a bittersweet predicament to be in. On the one hand, I want Iranians (and everyone else!!!) to be morally free if not politically-- and the free exchange of ideas facillitated by the Internet and cellphone technology is vital to that end. On the other hand, we all have a lot of work to do to accomplish this-- and the Internet needs to be freed up as well as its users!

I know I am stating the obvious, but that's what bloggers do. I am sure that more qualified heads are being scratched at this moment to come up with a plan or course of action to rescue this wonderful resource from information overload. 

Thank God for it.

IRAN A-TWITTER

It's bad. But thank God there are people Twittering about events and developments from Tehran, Iran and around the world.

Here is the link I got from Hugh Hewitt: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23iranelection

Search, Twitter, and be moved.

ANTI-OBAMANOMICS

Well, in the interest of providing hope to a seemingly hopeless situation (the state of our economy and President Obama's socialist decapitation of it), I want to link Mises.org here.

If you have any interest (and spare time), check out any of a myriad of multimedia resources there which will educate you in short order about the ills and remedies of any economy, but particularly the remedy of Austrian Economics.

Like I said, for a free/low-cost, self-driven economics education, this is a great place to learn the right way to do economics--something "they" did not teach me in school!

BLOGGING ON THE FLY

I thought I would join the chorus of onlookers and admirers of the world who saw our disputed (or beloved) president kill a fly during a televised interview. CNBC chief Washington correspondent John Harwood was interviewing President Barack Obama when a fly interrupted the proceedings. Obama then swatted it effectively and basked in the glory of his enemy's demise.

It's all over the news and the blogosphere. Even Rush Limbaugh (of course) got in on the act. On his show today, he made hilarious comments and played a sound clip from his original TV show, during which he steps on a fly and shows it to the camera and audience.

The best soundbite from the whole exchange of audio on his show was Rush's comment:

RUSH: Later in the show, I then murder the sucker, but not with my hands like Obama. I used my shoe. And killing a fly with a shoe is a much bigger insult in the fly world than killing an insect or a fly with your hand.

I laugh out loud every time I read that last sentence.

As you may or may not know, the biggest insult you can heap on your Middle East neighbor is to pound your shoe (or throw it at him, as one Iraqi reporter did to former President Bush) in a demonstration of disgust and disdain.

I know, jokes you have to explain aren't that funny. It still strikes my funny bone.

With a shoe.

AND THE NEW PRESIDENT OF IRAN IS...

I'm going out on a limb here and posting an article from the American Thinker, from a link on Rush Limbaugh's website, wherein it is posited that Mahmoud Ahmedinejad DID NOT WIN THE ELECTION in Iran.

In the article, the author makes it abundantly clear that Iran's "elections" are shams designed by the mullahs (religious leadership) to showcase their already-selected choice for office. The popular vote is a farce wherein the nation registers its disapproval of the mullahs' selections. Here is a quote:

"The great majority of the people of Iran are disillusioned and even disgusted by the mediaeval incompetent, oppressive, and corrupt rule of the mullahs, irrespective of which mafia gang is in power. The votes, more than anything else, are protest ballots cast against the entire system, rather than indications of support for the so-called conservative-moderate coalition." [emphasis mine]

Here is the diamond I found:

"However, the turnout was massive, a near record high 85 percent of Iran's 49.2 million eligible voters. Based on the information from Mousavi's website , a group of Interior Ministry employees have leaked out the following results which seem to be closer to reality than the one released by the establishment:

Total eligible: 49.2 Million

Participated in the election: 75% to 85%
Mir Hussein Mousavi: 45%
Mehdi Karoobi: 33%
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: 13%
Mohsen Rezai: 9%

Cancelled votes: 3%

The article goes on to say that in spite of the regime's brutal and oppressive ways, the people are rendering them less effective and thus scaring them to death. May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob help them to rise up peacefully and win their country back from the Enemy (Satan).

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS PUBLIC ENEMY (SOMETIMES)

Here is a story with a sad ending-- at least it looks that way for public education:

Kansas Teacher Claims Conservative Views Led To Loss of Job

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying all public education is bad. But I have to feel sorry for those who don't "get it" when it comes to truth.

The last question in the article is asked by a former student of the teacher. She asks, "Why would they let a good teacher go?"

Because they're stupid. Read the story.

OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII

In keeping with the Fairness Doctrine, I am posting this link to Snopes.com for the purpose of balancing the argument which continues regarding President Obama's birth certificate. The thing that really convinced me was the clipping of the birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspaper that day.

Is that a fake, too? The debate never ends...

I FOUND IT!!!

The official interview with Obama's teleprompter, affectionately known as TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States), is here:

AN UNUSUAL BLOGGER

Just want to post this link to Barak Obama's Teleprompter's Blog:

http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/

I give credit to my brother's blog, Machiavellian Messiah, for showing me the link to BOTB. Actually, it is known as TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States), and readers of its blog are known as FOTs (Friends of TOTUS).

I encourage you to read both blogs, but especially my brother's.
