That Freedom Ring You're Hearing Is A Death Knell

Yesterday, Judge Vaughan Walker overturned proposition 8 in California. A commenter on one news site said, "Amen, hallelujah, let freedom ring for everyone!" This brings into view a despicable tactic used by supporters of the homosexual agenda. They cast themselves as "freedom fighters," on par with groups that ended slavery and segregation. It creates an environment that lets them call anyone who disagrees with them bigots, extremists, homophobes, fascists, etc. After all, who wants to stifle freedom?

As Christians, we are really the only group entirely able to experience true freedom. We know what it means. We have a moral code that guides us in it's meaning, the Bible. Through God's word we realize that although we're able to do all things, not all things are lawful for us. Trying to attain freedom in the absence of this absolute, true moral code is really just shackling yourself to sin and death.

In the book of Judges, one phrase rings particularly true of our modern American society. "In those days there was no king in the land. Every man did what was right in his own eyes." God does not have a track record that supports sin in the land. The land is either given over to sin and the people are destroyed, or he sends in oppresors and raises up Godly, Spirit empowered deliverers.

I don't know about you, but I'm sitting here right now praying for some oppression to rouse us (the Church) from our nappy times.

Is it time for an Italian American President?

Rudy Giuliani has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2008 Presidential race. For those of you who don't know, Mr. Giuliani was one of the driving forces behind the gangland prosecutions of the 5 New York Mafia families. His skillful maneuvering of the revolutionary RICO statutes helped break the Italian Mafia's strangle-hold on New York and surrounding area's. I will wholeheartedly support Rudy Giuliani as President and I'll tell you why. With the tragedy of 9/11 came a shift in focus from the drug war and fighting organized crime, to "Homeland Security." Ironicaly, along with this shift in focus, came a relaxation of the former hard nosed pursuance of drugs and crime. No longer did the Organized Crime Task Force receive priority funding and adequate staffing. They are back to the dark ages of the 1960's in terms of quality enforcement officials. Once again, drugs and organized crime threaten our nation from within. The Russian, Albanian, Dominican...

Stray Observations

There are few things more annoying than self proclaimed, "Social Technology Experts." If there's one thing that everyone should realize when it comes to social media and social technology, it's that none of us are experts. The landscape is constantly shifting and changing. We are all students. Those who listen and learn, adapt and change, will be successful. Watching Angelo clamor for food is probably one of the most entertaining parts of my day. In the 2 hours I get to spend with him a day, requests for food easily make up 115 minutes. He's a growing boy. Please, God, let him be a growing boy... I am really jealous of my Dad right now. He's going to be winging his way across the pacific northwest landscape in a WWII era B-17 bomber. If 737's are the Honda Civics of the flight world, the B-17 is definitely a 1970, 4 speed, Hemi Plymouth Barracuda. Speaking of flying, what if I jumped out of a plane, pull...

Jesse's Spaghetti

First thing you need is a kitchen.. Break out all your ingredients and strew them around to make it look like you know what you're doing Grab a pound of veal and a pound of Italian hot sausage. I usually use about 1/2 these packs. Put into frypans and turn your heat to just above medium. Slice up two fresh garlic cloves, reall thin like. toss them into the pans with the meat. It will melt right in and it taste and smells like heaven. Slice up some Roma tomatoes. Add them to the tomato paste along with garlic, parsley, oregano, parmesan, and a cup of red wine. Put some balsamic in there too if you're really crazy :) Add the spaghetti to a pot of boiling water and take your cooked meat and add it to the sauce. Set the sauce to low heat, I use setting 2. Wait for your noodles to cook and constantly stir the sauce to keep it from burning. Add sauce and enjoy
