The Right Side of the Trinity: Where do you belong?
http://rightsidetrinity.blogspot.com/2010/08/where-do-you-belong.html
The Right Side of the Trinity. This Blog is: 1)An attempt to publish an explanation for the Hope that it is within me, and to further the cause of Christ in Dallas, Texas, and the world 2)A goad to rebirth for Oak Cliff, and the PC(USA). Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Where do you belong? This dilemma is not new- it is as old as the apostles, and it has never changed. Not even in 1950's suburban America. Do you belong to Christ? All the other belongings fade away. Only Christ stands the test of time....

AROUND THE SCUTTLEBUTT: AN HONEST QUESTION FOR MY LIBERAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY
http://aoundthescuttlebutt.blogspot.com/2015/03/an-honest-question-for-my-liberal.html
AN HONEST QUESTION FOR MY LIBERAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY. This morning, I listened to NPR’s Radio Times. Hosted by Marty Moss-Coane. I like her show. Her guest was former Congressman Barney Frank who is out flogging his new book. (He was similarly hosted by Terry Gross on Fresh Air! Last week.) These are the only NPR programs I listen to with any hope of professional journalism. Sadly, Ms. Moss-Coane dropped the ball this morning, not badly, but a very evident fumble. Social Security and Medi-care? It remind...

AROUND THE SCUTTLEBUTT: I AM ASHAMED OF MY PARTY

I AM ASHAMED OF MY PARTY. Amendment was not adopted and ratified until 1971. Still, she was right. I would have voted for Barry Goldwater—and I did end up in Vietnam.). We were being cautioned that an order—hypothetically speaking—from the President to the 82d Airborne Division or the Second Marine Division to trot on up I-95 and arrest the Congress should not be taken at face value. As if we needed to be reminded! So, I have been proud to be a Republican—until this weekend. Why now, you may ask? It is t...

CAPT BILL PINE, USN. A man is indeed fortunate who can claim to have two or three real friends in his life. By “real friend,” I mean a man who sees you at your worst, battling demons or life or physical foes and not only runs to join you, but does so with a smile on his face and joy in his heart. He is the man that you just know will come to your side when you need him and without asking. I have had two such friends in my life. My friend, Bill Pine, was one of those two. 8221;) in Burke Center, Virginia.

A PROPOSED SOLUTION TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. The links to certain words and phrases are not mine. Feel free to ignore these free-loading swine.]. The real problem with our immigration system, to the extent that we have a system any longer, is that the world has learned to use our innate goodness against our own interests. We are the envy of the world. We are a generous people, fair and forgiving. We have taken the great precepts of Anglo-Saxon law and entered them into our National DNA. For those who say ...

AROUND THE SCUTTLEBUTT: FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY
http://aoundthescuttlebutt.blogspot.com/2015/05/forty-years-ago-today.html
FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY. 8220;Hey, Skipper. Happy Birthday. The fuckin’ gooks stole one of our ships! That was my First Sergeant’s birthday greeting to me forty years ago today. He had come out to the field with the mail and a birthday cake for my 29th Birthday. I was Commanding Officer, Fox Company, Ninth Marines in the field for training in Okinawa. It was a big day for me and for the Battalion. We had just gotten back about 180 Marines from 1. And now, this! The Khmer Rouge had seized SS Mayaguez. My Co...

AROUND THE SCUTTLEBUTT: WHEN WILL THEY START THINKING OF US?
http://aoundthescuttlebutt.blogspot.com/2015/03/when-will-they-start-thinking-of-us.html
WHEN WILL THEY START THINKING OF US? I sample a lot of news programs, particularly on National People’s Radio, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. For the past two weeks, all have been in a dither over two issues: the Homeland Security Bill and the address to a joint session of Congress by Benjamin Netanyahu. According to all (except Fox), if Homeland Security is not funded and if Netanyahu does speak, our Nation will crumble around our ears. Really? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

SOMEBODY GET A ROPE! SOMEBODY FIND A TREE! One of the darkest blots on American History is the terror of lynching loosed on freed slaves and their descendants in the last half of the 19. Century and the first half of the 20. Quite often, the mad demand for vengeance led the mob to lash out at the handiest target, whether that person was guilty of a crime or not. Now, a city burns because “justice” was denied. Welcome to the first half of the 21. Links to this post. THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST. Now Ha...

8220;I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins.”. Commander Spock, First Officer/Science Officer, USS. City on the Edge of Forever. During our stay at Charlie Base Camp, we took an average of one casualty per day, all but the three at OP 6 from booby traps. In turn, all booby trap casualties came during the morning road sweep. None that I recall were fatal, but our people were being hurt badly. The next morning, we found that the drum had been booby trapped...

Well, I see the President is off on another taxpayer funded family vacation, this time to Africa. And that's a good thing. I mean, how else do you rest up for your upcoming family vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Now, I know many folks- some of whom I love and respect- will criticize me, saying "What about all the time Bush spent in Texas? Others- some of whom I love and respect- will howl "This isn't.
