YES! [we're still here]

Greetings, all.

SophosArchaeus is still in business.  We have been busy with family, holidays [hope you and yours had a blessed and very merry Christmas* and are starting a new and better year], secret missions to Elbonia, fighting off alien invasion, resetting the circadia, and so forth and such like.

Please stay in touch.  The elder wisdom will have much to say in coming weeks about our Dear Leader (the "warrior") and the rising tsunami of American patriotism that will wash away the failed, old-world, delusional, Statist, Socialist, Keynesian, and/or Jihadist infestations that we have been abiding for so long.

The date to remember is November 6th, 2012.  On that day, NO ONE STAYS HOME and no true American will allow their voice to be lost in meaningless, Pyrrhic, "protest votes" that result only in the defense of the Constitution coming in second in a two-horse race.  That way is the "nothing" which is all that good Men must do for the triumph of evil.


Meanwhile, pay attention to the primaries and try to select the best Conservative we can get into the White House and start fumigation.  And don't forget the need to complete the liberation of the Senate from the anti-Constitutionalists, to advance the repairs needed to the greatest, most generous, freest and most just country in the history of Mankind.  From today to that day, we will have to wade through vast cesspools of propaganda and outright lies from the Left and the misguided - - try not to swallow or pass on that which is not true. 


*for our many non-Christian friends, a happy Hanukkah, or blessings in general.  For those that have no faith, our prayers that you are given the gift of belief in the Creator and hopefully, also knowledge and love of Jesus.  This must be a miserable time of year for those who only "believe" in solstices, biology and odds.

The Chinese village that FOUGHT BACK !

The Village of Wukan, 20,000 brave Freedom Fighters, have apparently thrown the Communist oppressors out of the village ! !   This is the first I have seen of this story, appearing the the British Daily Telegraph,
HERE.

If this is true, then it is a near-first (after Tienanmen Square).  News from the Dark side of Communism, where news does not easily escape.  PLEASE share this story as widely as possible, before the article (like the 20,000 endangered Patriots of Wukan) disappears.

自由萬歲！

Happy Thanks Giving!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Just a thought about what goes on today. Many people will think of it as "turkey day" or a chance to O.D. on football (though I believe the schedule is limited this year).

Believe it or not, these secondary, sectarian things are an important part of Thanksgiving. They are, of course, not the central theme, but joy shared with friends and family is one of the main ideas. Originally it would have been singing, story telling and perhaps dancing.

But for what and to whom are we thankful? This should include anything that has been a blessing (oops, there's one of those - um - old fashioned words) to you. You should be grateful to your family and friends for whatever they have extended to you: help, growth or just understanding and companionship; perhaps just a hand, a shoulder or an ear. Family and friends are a blessing in themselves, of course. Some don't have these gifts. Don't take them for granted. You should also be grateful for those people, for their existence and their relationship with you. And to whom does one express this gratitude?

Oooops. Another one of those awkward, old fashioned notions. This one simply must go to God, in whatever way you comprehend Him. For me, this is God the Father, maker of heaven and Earth, at whose right hand now sits my Lord Jesus, his only son, who together with the Father and Holy Spirit holds the universe in their collective hand.  Oh, and who holds for me a place where all is made right, just for believing and doing my poor best - - an ultimate reason that transcends nice-but-limited Earthly reasons.

Its nice to have some definition in mind for all this, but even if you are one of those who simply believes is an amorphous "God" with no other details (I know that not all of my understanding is correct, because I'm just a fallible human), that's fine. But today I think you need to believe consciously and gratefully. The Founders, far from just "Deists" ('cause if they were, they sure packed a lot of praise, gratitude and pleas to Christ and Father in their daily writings). Take a moment and dedicate it to that gracious being, whatever He is.

I am glad that I don't have to be grateful to some dead, uncaring "odds" or random physics for my soul or blessings, or think that this (nice as most of it is) is "all there is". That must be a real stretch to get joyful over, or all nostalgic about for a HOLY day - er, holiday.

Nice job, God! Please keep it up.

We are "better off" (Obama). WHEW! [updated 11-17-11]

Obama shows his grasp of reality. (Or his respect for telling the truth to the People.)



NBC News via YouTube

Obama went on to say, "I don’t think the country is stronger yet than it was when the economy was still booming and we didn’t have Wall Street crisis, and we didn’t have the housing bubble burst. But, we’ve made steady progress, we just need to make more."


STAND BY, ONE!!!
Probably every visitor to this page knows someone (several someones) who are far worse off than they were just 2 years ago (giving full credit to Obama after 5 months free of "Bush" - unlimited Progressive Socialist power with super-majorities in both houses and the White House). Most of us are just struggling to say afloat at the same level, while 15,000,000 more Americans are on welfare and size of the labor force has actually shrunk: so many have given up that the unemployment rate actually appears better than it is.

Meanwhile, the "#Occupy 99%" rioters are burning Oakland while their Progressive "Mayor" dithers. Europe wavers between disaster (letting bankrupt, Socialist Greece go up in flames from their own unions, without a bailout) and just sinking deeper into the trap (bailing them out for a few weeks, as their debt gets bigger, along with Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany [yadda]). It is this European Socialist model that Obama and the rest of the Progressive Socialists and union cronies are steering us toward.

Oakland:

Greece:


 And back to Progressive D.C.:

Um, hello?  You readers know better than that.  If you count those who have given up or fallen off official unemployment, the real number of Americana that have to work but cannot find any is closer to 19-20%.
Pelosi continues to hallucinate or  manufacture stuff to tell the electorate.

And back to New York, where #Occupy started. Obama says they have legitimate arguments and Pelosi says, "God bless them; they are grass roots ...and they will be effective".  Whew!  At least they aren't those dangerous, threatening, dirty Tea Partiers:

Yikes.


And here is the reality of our economy. The Congressional Budget Office has already predicted that next year (right through elections) will continue to be 'flat' at best. That is,unemployment and the economy will continue to stagger at near-historic levels for years unless the reckless spending and debt of the Progressive Socialists are not just frozen as Democrats have proposed, but drastically cut. The Free Market (yes, Capitalist) economy must be cut loose from strangling regulation and crushing taxation so that it can use the money they are sitting on to hire, build and produce. No amount of smoke and mirrors, governmental, cronyist spending will even get us back down to the 8% unemployment that Obama promised his Keynesian/Marxist agenda would keep us below. The threat of "skyrocketing" energy and the costliest parts of Obamacare yet to come have employers and investors hoarding their money (including a lot of "stimulus" money) until they know when and if they will be able to use rather than waste it.  Obama "jobs" gimmicks worth a few hundred or thousand dollars will not entice them to spend tens or hundreds of thousands on each machine or employee.
