moral rot

Yesterday I read a story on WorldNetDaily about a new TV show called Flamethrower, on the Faith TV network. The show describes itself as “The View if it was produced by Ann Coulter. Four panelists, all young men and women, all four believe in Judeo-Christian values, all four want political change and none of them are afraid to say what they think.”

For this week’s show, they had scheduled to broadcast a segment where the show’s creator, Molotov Mitchell (already I’ve got a baaaaad feeling about the nature of this series), devours a cookie emblazoned with the frosted visage of Muhammad, the founder of Islam. The whole thing is apparently meant to be a stunt intended to offend Muslims, particularly since according to Islamic tradition images of Muhammad are forbidden… which has always struck me as funny ‘cuz how do we know what Muhammad looked like, anyway?

Here’s ...

The $600 per individual and $1200 per couple that President Bush and Congress are going to give everyone in the country so that we’ll forget how much they’ve FUBAR-ed our economy.

I know what I’m going to do with mine…

I’m going to buy a gun. And ammo. Lots and lots of ammo.

The way things are going lately, that’s probably going to become a very wise investment in the short term....

Someday, there will be a need to give the times in which we currently live an appropriate moniker. A few days ago, while driving through snow on U.S. 29 back from Greensboro, the idea for one crossed my mind.

I’ve already started calling our present American era “the Hell Époque”.

Obviously this is a pun on “the Belle Époque“, which was the last real “golden time” that Europe had before World War I escorted us all into the modern world.

A future history book or Wikipedia entry might describe our own time thusly…

Hell Époque

The era of United States history that stretched from the early 1990s until the end of the first decade of the 21st century, that has come to be regarded as the final years of America’s long-time domination of the world’s culture and economy.

Although noted for considerable achievements in computers and telecommunications

… the first news in what became known as “the Monica Lewinsky scandal” came out, when Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report broke the word that Newsweek was sitting on a story about a sexual affair between President Bill Clinton and a 23-year old White House intern.

Those were very crazy days. Can’t believe it’s been ten years already. I still remember watching Clinton on live television wagging his finger at everyone and claiming that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky!”

I have a friend who teaches history, who predicted all the way back in 1992 that Bill Clinton would be the first in a long series of presidencies that lacked honor and ability and real sense of duty. When the Lewinsky scandal came out, I couldn’t help but think back to what he said. And now ten years later, in the closing months of ...

The more I think about how disgraced school board member/admitted sign stealer Ron Price’s lawsuit against the Moores ended (click here for more info, including links to the sworn depositions that the Moores, Price, and Yours Truly gave), the more I’m feeling honked-off to no end about it.

The man is certainly living up to his county-wide nickname of “Ron the Con” (one that I have heard bandied about everywhere from church to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Eden). Ladies and gentlemen, I posit that the whole sordid drama of this past year has been a massive charade perpetrated by Price and his attorney Douglas Hux. Because this lawsuit had nothing to do with seeking damages for legitimate libel. But it did have everything to do with an elected official using the law to intimidate and silence those who disagree with him.

Does anyone believe that Ron Price would ...

So says U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement, speaking on behalf of the Bush White House, which is supporting the District of Columbia’s ban on personal ownership of handguns.

Clement also claims that the Second Amendment supports “reasonable regulation” on gun ownership.

They do all of this in the name of the “public”.

But let’s get real here…

Anytime the government takes more power unto itself, it will always excuse it by saying it’s “for the good of the people”. But it always, always, does it for itself.

American government long ago ceased being something of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Government in America… and I believe that the Bush Administration and the current Congress have exemplified this more so than at any other time in this nation’s history… has long been about raw, naked, unforgiving power for sake of power. Government in America ...

See that pic of Ron Price? That’s when he was sworn in on the Rockingham County Board of Education a little over a year ago. Nobody from his family wanted to come and hold the Bible for him, so school board attorney Jill Wilson had to fill in. This pic was taken by Richard Moore, and we’ll get back to it in just a little bit…

A few days ago Ron Price dropped his lawsuit against Richard and Debbie Moore. There’s a story about it in The Reidsville Review, but based on what I’ve heard from a number of sources, the Review story is… shall we put it… “wildly inaccurate”. There was no settlement at all, and certainly no conditions imposed. Ron Price cried “Uncle!” on his own.

Yet in spite of giving up, Price is delusional enough to claim a victory out of this…

Price said he

Ron Price (full name Ronald Filer Price), disgraced at-large member of the Rockingham County Board of Education and confessed campaign sign thief, couldn’t go the distance with his lawsuit against Richard and Debbie Moore, so he’s thrown in the towel.

Price and his attorney Douglas Hux dropped the lawsuit yesterday. You can click on the graphic on the right to see the dismissal. It was done “with prejudice” and voluntarily… meaning that Price can’t bring this same lawsuit up again.

There was no settlement. Price simply gave up.


(much bigger version of “Sir Ronald” graphic here)

Ron Price was suing the Moores for trying to hold Price accountable for his stealing campaign signs on the night before the 2006 general election. Among other things Price describes in his lawsuit how Richard Moore wore a t-shirt that said “If this shirt is missing look in Ron Price’s trunk” ...

I’m going to make a bold prediction, and Lord only knows how January 1st, 2009 will bear me out as a prognosticator. I might be totally wrong and maybe daring to be branded a “kook” for saying this.

But here it is:

2008 will be the year that a lot of Americans finally realize that the country they always thought they were living in doesn’t exist anymore.

There was much more that I had started to write that was going to elaborate upon and build up my case for saying that. But it wound up being far too depressing a read. So I’m just going to post what is, at this point, far more than just a “gut feeling”. It comes mostly from a lot of observation as a student of history.

I’ll throw this much in for your consideration, though this isn’t the biggest factor by a long-shot in ...
