“Black Friday” is a marketing scam to get you to spend your holiday money early. I say let the businesses figure out how to be profitable year round, and quit putting all your eggs in one basket.

Instead, celebrate Red Friday every week, showing your support for those who serve.

Celebrate the Joy of Our Lord every DAY and thank God for His many blessings.

On this Day After Thanksgiving, don’t be a hypocrite and rush out to buy stuff that you didn’t even mention in your “thankful” speech around the dinner table yesterday.

Do me a favor, though – and yourself, and every community that has locally-owned businesses – go out and support your local businesses tomorrow during “Small Business Saturday”. Yes, it’s sponsored by American Express. No, I do not condone the use of credit. Cash is the way to freedom – if you don’t owe money, you can’t be held down.

Chat ya later…

I am thankful that I live in a country where it is still a God-given right to speak freely, worship openly, and gather peacefully.

I am thankful that I live in a country where we still have the right to bear arms in order to protect the rights of the people from the federal government.

And the local government, too.

I am thankful I have a church family that loves me, and that I love – for fellowship, for worship, for prayer, there is nothing like two or three gathered in His name.

I am thankful for the friends I have – the ones I’ve been blessed to meet, the ones I am looking forward to meeting – and especially the ones that have stuck by me through thick and thin.

I am thankful that God has blessed me with a beautiful, loving wife and a precocious daughter. And the patience and wisdom to deal with them both.

I am thankful I have a group of readers who will see this, and think of their blessings and count what they are thankful for.

Have a Happy, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving celebration, ya’ll.

I thought I could rid myself of this bit of saved text – the one that gives me this result: “Obama(THHO)” – but I was wrong.

Good news – you probably didn’t notice, but we had a bump in the road here – not a bump like the above named person means, but as in the host that we (Bushwack, BZ, Texas Fred, Brady and myself) share. There was a growth issue – they grew, we grew, things got kinda cramped – but BlueHost came through like professionals and we are all resolved. There might still be a glitch or two, but things should be back to normal by the time you read this.

Speaking of the group, you should go visit them and read them. Often. More often than I do. In fact, there’s a whole slew of excellent writers listed over on the side bar. GO visit all of them. You will get educated.

Chat ya later, and don’t forget to practice your amendments – especially the first two …

Nothing is more depressing to a conservative, independent voter than to wake up and discover that Obama(THHO) is still pResident.

Yes, I am disappointed that the UNited States of Free Cheese has decided that Free Cheese (thank you, BZ) is more important than Free Enterprise. Free Cheese is more important than a Free Market. Free Cheese is the End All and Be All of being a citizen of these United States. And, sometimes, even the end all and be all of NOT being a citizen yet still enjoying the fruits of the labors of others in these United States.

Funny – Obama(THHO) supporters threatened to violently riot if their god did not win reelection. Notice how the opposition did not threaten to riot if Obama(THHO) DID win. Well, that might be a wasted observation, since most of the supporters of Obama(THHO) don’t seem to listen to anything not being said by Obama(THHO) hisownself. But it is an observation, nonetheless, of how the two sides comported themselves.

People will blame bad voting machines, bad counting, pictures in polling places of Obama(THHO), Obama(THHO) supporters wearing clearly political garb preventing those wearing Biblical garb from voting – the list will go on, but the bottom line is this country ALLOWED Obama(THHO) to win this election. This country does not care about the future, only about the RIGHT NOW – as long as the RIGHT NOW involves getting food stamps and other forms of assistance for free – well, free to the recipients – it’s costing actual taxpayers more and more of our takehome to support the free loaders.

I wonder what the tipping point will be? I wonder when the rest of us, those of us who are actually supporting the free loaders, get tired of having our hard earned money redistributed to the shiftless and lazy, and decide that we will either take our pay in cash or just quit working and join the unemployed and over-benefited of the United States of Free Cheese?

But I am optimistic – one day soon, the truly Free people of these United States will finally say “ENOUGH!” and the socialist and communist agendas of the Left will be put to rest.

Along with the left-leaning defeatist, elitist, lame-stream media.

Gee, I wonder where the trust of our military leaders lies? I am in no way advocating that this should become a militarily led country, but when the majority of the retired flag officers would rather back someone OTHER THAN the sitting “Commander”-in-Chief, then that should tell you something about the character of that “Commander”-in-Chief.

One last thing before the celebration of citizenship represented by the DUTY to vote – I don’t care who you vote for – because that is between you and God. I do pray that you vote your beliefs – no, you won’t find someone who exactly matches everything you believe in, but let me remind you of this: One candidate is for same-sex marriage, partial- and post-birth abortions, and hinders allies of the United States. The other candidate has a track record of being against same-sex marriage, against abortion, and does not believe in hindering the allies of the United States. And if, at this time, you are still undecided, then stay home and pack instead of voting. Pack? Yes, You should not be allowed to live here if you are still not sure who you want in charge of your future.

I’ll tell you this – after tomorrow’s election results, I will either be investing in my future or investing in lots of lead – which is basically the same thing, but in different directions. I pray that I can invest in my future.

Chat ya later…
