Time ran out for Lindsay Lohan
Here in California, time finally ran out for Lindsay Lohan. She doesn't have the maturity to carry on a decent life. *verbigsigh* I think that she'll need a lot more than government control to get her life in order. I hope Lindsay Lohan encounters God in prison. Meanwhile, civil authorities are administering mercy, at the hands of the People of California.

My favorite Rocketman
My favorite rocketman, Sir Elton John, is actually a brave knight; he's willing to dare the swamp of political corruptness. First he played at Rush Limbaugh's wedding, now he's gonna perform a concert in Israel, where other artists are too cowardly to deploy:“Ain’t gonna stop me from coming here, baby,” he told the crowd in Tel Aviv, saying he believed music should spread peace and bring people together: “That is what we do. We do not cherry-pick our consciences, OK?” he added, in an apparent swipe at the artists who have canceled concerts in Israel . . . “I have always believed that music inhabits a world set apart from politics, religious differences or prejudice of any kind.”
A renegade to the end!

"The buck stops with me."
I notice that the President likes to continually use that phrase, "The Buck Stops… with me.” I wonder if he realizes that it makes him look like a narcissist? The president uses that phrase in every occasion to argue that while bad things that happen under his watch are always his responsibility, --they’re never his FAULT. Remember the Nigerian panty-bomber (last Christmas) who got on board that jetliner? Obama said it was the fault of the watch list system. *sigh* That's a far cry from "The buck stops here." Failures in policy are the fault of the men who are ultimately responsible for them. Then again, our boy-president is far from being mature, or a leader for these trying times.

If you think about it, our current law teacher president shares the same academic background as our former law teacher president Bill Clinton, —minus the amorality. (Remember our current president is a good family man and not sullied by personal corruption.) But what made... the brainy Clinton a more competent president was his ability to work with his republican Congress.Maybe the same may happen for our current brainy president. Today's health care reform must be a compromise to be a genuine effort, but right now neither party wants to work with the other!

Missionary implications
On Christmas Day, a 23-year-old Nigerian named Umar Farouk Abdula tried to detonate a homemade bomb (in his underwear!) onboard a packed Northwest Airlines flight headed for Detroit. But because of a faulty detonator and brave passengers, the terrorist's knickers failed to go off.
The security system failed miserably. The explosives he used are easily detected. What's more, Umar's father warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria about his boy. A simple screening process (that's already in place) would have prevented him from boarding any aircraft. But citizens on board saved the day! Many days later, President Obama finally announced that Umar has links to al Qaeda.
What took so long? Obama didn't need a top secret briefing to learn this. He could have picked up most of it on the Drudge Report, or merely by bothering to read the morning papers.
I could see the confusion on Obama's face during his leadership failure. Sadly, it was the look of someone who has been convinced for all these years that terrorism is something President Bush cooked up. Now that it is patently obvious that President Bush knew what he was talking about, Obama will need some time to regroup and figure out what to do. I don't think he knows anybody in his world who can help him. He must humble himself and finally learn from the experiences of the previous administration. This is not a good pattern. The president has failed to lead the country following two very serious attacks on our Homeland: 13 people murdered at Fort Hood, Texas, and another Muslim who tried to blow an American jetliner out of the sky by detonating a bomb in his underwear.
What's worse is that this terrorist is now lawyered up and has the right to remain silent; this, a present from Obama himself!
Had Umar been spotted getting trained in Yemen he would have had an encounter with a Hellfire missile. Instead he was caught in the air while attempting to kill several hundred innocent people, and now his 'rights' are read to him! These rights were given to him by President Obama. *sigh*
The missionary implications for my wife and I are escalating. First, the shoe-bomber — remember him? — Richard Reid, was found with explosives in his shoe; as a result the deaconess and I have to trod barefoot through airport security. But wait! --after explosive underwear are uncovered, how will we now be treated by airport security? And what happens when the first exploding suppository occurs?
The implications are very serious indeed. Sadly, I'm too embarrassed to discuss these missionary implications --with my own pastor!
"Mr. Obregon, place your knickers on the conveyor and step away from the machine" ...... Oh, the humanity!

Divergent effects of sin and grace
I went on my contemplative walk as I am wont to do in the afternoon. I sighed and blurted out, "Why is there so much evil in the world."
But instinctively I immediately caught myself with the reply that there is so much more good in the world. I knew this was so. I know this to be a fact; I know it to be so scientifically, and I know it to be so spiritually. I was simply venting inside.
I mean, look at the obvious things that show this to be so: all of the equilibrium that is maintained in the world through the laws of nature. And in the spiritual realm; as a missionary I know first-hand that there are more good people in the world than there are evil ones. I find this to be an empirical truth.

The set of rational numbers
Most may not be aware, but much of the activity in the JVC Ecosystem may be properly understood in light of rational numbers. Rational numbers are a subset of the real number system.
For example, rational numbers consist of those numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers, a/b. Everyday examples of rational numbers include: 2/3, 3/4, 4, 1/2
In the halls of Jubilee Vietnam Church, we make use of rational numbers when we divide one bowl of rice equally among two people, since Geo and Moiselle (sharing) each then gets half, or, 1/2 bowl of rice.
Indeed, in the JVC Ecosystem even rational numbers have spiritual implications; --open your heart to rational numbers!

Converting the primitives on the mission field
As we make preparations for a missionary deployment to Vietnam, I wish that there was some way that I could print money.
I wish I had a money machine.
What? --you think that's silly?
The U.S. Congress is at the moment, on a missionary enterprise of its own, trying to convert us primitives--on the mission field of America--on the only way to end our national recession. Congress' solution? --an orgy of spending.
President Obama, who's the front man for this idea, has preached a message that failure to pass the economic stimulus package (read: spending orgy) will result in a “catastrophe”--those are his words.
Since he’s about to be handed one trillion dollars, I wonder what will happen if the stimulus bill (spending orgy) does pass? For example...
Why are hundreds of billions in this bill being spent on frivolous stuff?
I wonder why most of the spending is slated to occur after the recession will likely be over?
Since the U.S. doesn’t have the money in the spending bill, how much money will the Government have to print? (This is the part I wish I could do!)
And, since the U.S. Congress is fond of throwing the phrase "exit strategy" in the faces of our military planners--what's Obama's exit strategy if the spending orgy actually does harm?
*Sigh* I, guess I should help convert primitives on the mission field, so...

Missionaries and aid workers
As we make preparations for a missionary deployment, we just learned Monday that an American worker for the United Nations has been kidnapped in Pakistan.
YAHOO! News | Quetta, Pakistan – Authorities searched for an American U.N. worker kidnapped Monday in southwestern Pakistan in an attack that underscored the security threats in the country as it battles al-Qaida militants.
The government called the abduction a “terrorist act,” but police said it was not clear whether it was Islamist militants, or criminals seeking a ransom payment who were responsible.
Gunmen seized John Solecki, head of the U.N. refugee office in the city of Quetta, as he traveled to work Monday morning, and shot and killed his driver, U.N. and Pakistani officials said.
Does he count as an American if he is working for the UN? Well, yes, I suppose he does.
But the lowest form of human is to attack a missionary or an aid worker who's there in-country to help the locals.
Did you notice the second paragraph, above? --it's a sick world when you have to hope that the American was kidnapped by criminals, rather than Islamic clergy. The criminals might let him live.
*Sigh* this may be a pop quiz for Obama, before the big test...
YAHOO! News | Quetta, Pakistan – Authorities searched for an American U.N. worker kidnapped Monday in southwestern Pakistan in an attack that underscored the security threats in the country as it battles al-Qaida militants.
The government called the abduction a “terrorist act,” but police said it was not clear whether it was Islamist militants, or criminals seeking a ransom payment who were responsible.
Gunmen seized John Solecki, head of the U.N. refugee office in the city of Quetta, as he traveled to work Monday morning, and shot and killed his driver, U.N. and Pakistani officials said.

Obama can talk, but can he walk?
Huh? ... Wha? ... I'm sorry, did I, --did I --miss something?
Omigosh, the Inauguration!
One of my readers ... well ... she had to remind me!
On Tuesday, Barak Hussein Obama was inaugurated President of the United States of America.
Has President Obama had a chance to accomplish anything for our nation?
No. Well, after all, he's just getting up and running.
Therefore, I'll just have to review what has been accomplished for our nation especially in light of recent American history.
After all, how shall we grade the new President of the United States without the yardstick of history, --or, is there another standard that should be applied? Nay, history is our only reliable standard.
I normally don't like to rehearse the manifestly obvious, but the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another mass-terror attack on our soil for 7 years will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents, uh, after Ronald Reagan.
Can anybody produce one American citizen who believed on Sept. 12, 2001, that there would not be another attack for the next 7-years-and-4-months?
United States of America: 100-percent al-Qaeda free since 2001.
While President Bush made many mistakes at the helm his successes will be appreciated (like Reagan's) in the years that follow. President Bush laid out a doctrine to guide us in our war with Islamo-terrorism. President Bush signed into law the Patriot Act which broke down the wall (created by Bill Clinton) between the CIA and FBI, (before, neither agency could share intel with the other regarding America's external threats).
President Bush also created the terrorist-surveillance program, i.e. we can wiretap the bad guys making phone calls into the United States.
President Bush directed the CIA to capture and interrogate terror leaders who kill Americans.
President Bush fought a very unpopular war of liberation in Iraq, and yes, made many mistakes. But it will one day be clear that our liberation of Iraq was essential to victory in the global war on terror. And the success in Iraq is more complete than, say, the stalemate we're still sitting on, on the Korean peninsula.
President Bush assumed that our Coalition forces would find mass graves, torture chambers, evidence for immoral abuse of the UN's food-for-oil program, and WMDs: President Bush was right about each, save one, the last, --but he was still on the mainstream of Western and Arab thinking on these matters.
Today, Iraq's gross national product is 30 percent higher than under Saddam Hussein, and it is free of a brutal despot and his rape-happy sons.
Iraq is a free country, and now an ally. Furthermore, al-Qaeda was decimated and driven from their sanctuary in Afghanistan. Let's hope these victories are not squandered.
President Bush has of course the best record on judges. President Bush appointed conservative Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito--what a godsend these two common-sense justices are.
*Sigh* history will also place President Bush's verbal fumbling into light, but don't forget, George W. Bush was the first MBA president, and he had a higher grade-point average at Yale than John Francois Kerry, his opponent in 2004. George Bush is smarter than Senator John Francois Kerry!
Let's not forget the women of Afghanistan whom George Bush liberated from Taliban degradation and abuse.
Women's liberation is alive and well in Afghanistan!
When Abu Ghraib is mentioned, may history remind us that it was President George W. Bush who imprisoned those scumbags responsible for the horrors. When water-boarding is brought up, may history remind us that it was only used on 3 terrorists, one of whom was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al-Qaeda's chief operator, who coughed-up vast amounts of intel that saved hundreds of innocent lives.
When extraordinary renditions are mentioned, Natural Exponent asks, how else should the world's most dangerous terrorists have been transported, business-class on United Airlines?
History will not listen to Hollywood "filmmakers" Michael Moore or Oliver Stone, but instead to Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, who told the President last week: "The people of India deeply love you"; this, from the world's largest democracy.
Our new President Obama has some pretty big shoes to fill--because Obama can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk?

Hellfire and due diligence
I uncovered an interesting story, per the Washington Post:
A New Year's Day CIA strike in northern Pakistan killed two top al-Qaeda members long sought by the United States, including the man believed to be behind September's deadly suicide bombing at a Marriott hotel in Karachi, U.S. counterterrorism officials confirmed.
The CIA ascertained that Osama al-Kini, a Kenyan national who was al-Qaeda's chief of operations in Pakistan, was killed in the Jan. 1, 2009 missile strike, along with his lieutenant, Sheikh Ahmed Swedan. Both men also helped plan the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa.
Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University, said the CIA's tactics appear to be cutting dramatically into al-Qaeda's top ranks with strikes deep into a lawless border region that insurgents long regarded as a sanctuary.
"It is a stunning testament of the accuracy of intelligence that the United States is obtaining," Professor Hoffman said. "Either we have built up an impressive network of sources that facilitates such precision targeting, or the Pakistani authorities are cooperating big-time."
Natural Exponent believes this is a very good development in combating Islamo-terror. We hope that it continues in the Obama administration, because Obama doesn't strike us as someone who would take the offense toward high-value targets.
But, um, where were the anti-war protesters? If the U.S. had arrested these bad guys, and made them stand for long periods of time while being questioned, or turned down the a/c in the interrogation room, there would be a huge outcry about their treatment.
And yet when our operators blow them to smithereens--out of the blue--with a subsonic Hellfire missile fired by a controller thousands of miles away, there's no complaining from America's leftists.
In any case, I'm certain our CIA took great care to make sure it had the right targets in their crosshairs. But you can't get a much better outcome of due diligence than a bulls-eye. But still, no outrage? from any Lefty?
Due diligence, --yes, and yet nothing says "Due Process" like a Hellfire missile.

Guantanamo
I blogged previously that Obama was incompletely vetted to be president. The revelations of his direct and indirect involvement in dirty Chicago politics of late are therefore not surprising.I don't even have to go out on a limb to predict
the following: Obama will soon learn the wisdom of Guantanamo.

Bombay mass-terror
On the one hand, the Bombay mass terror attacks have shown that racial profiling works; the jihadists proved it.When Sen. Obama takes office, with no experience to draw from, I hope he has good advisors --that he'll listen to.
All of this carnage was done by 10 jihadists! There could have been more. All you would have to do would be to abandon your weapon and blend in with the crowd.
A sole terrorist was captured alive shown here raising his AK. He was captured alive by the Indian commandos, the Black Cats.
There he is, Mr. Cargo Pants. (His mother must be so proud.)
I pity the short-sightedness of the terrorists; their actions show our innocent and sensible Muslim neighbours in a very bad light.
I'm not fretting though, the people of India are going to be okay. I know this when the Indian people are clamoring for the autographs of the commandos. When people understand that heroes are the men who kill evil men, they have their values in right priority and will be okay.....I'd invite these terrorists to hit an American Walmart; the shoppers would take care of them if it were the day after Thanksgiving.
I'm so thankful I was born in the USA, there can't be a better place on earth to live, because patriotism is an indispensable weapon in the defense of civilization against barbarism.
And, under President George Bush, America has been terror-free for 8 years.

Marxism 101
"For the last seven years we have had the highest corporate profit ever in American history...But it hasn't been shared, and that's the problem, because we have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it. They have an antipathy toward the means of redistributing wealth." --Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA)

From stone to silicon
The born-again experience is a wonderful reality.
But in the JCC Ecosystem we find that a subsequent experience involving the slow, tedious, sometimes wearisome process of sanctification must then take place. This is best handled through successive personal encounters with God. Each Believer is ultimately responsible for this in his own life.
Progressive steps are taken until, ultimately, the Believer becomes as smooth as silicon, perfect and complete in all the will of God; click on Colossians 4:12.

Californians--and how we live our lives
CALIFORNIANS ARE A CONSERVATIVE people, and conservative is how most of us live our lives.
My evidence? --two essential things: First, Californians defeated the homosexual lobby, and we codified that only marriage between a man and woman will be valid in the Golden State.
But we Californians also defeated two so-called green initiatives on the ballot. Prop 7 would have forced utility companies to produce 40% of their power by 2020, and even more by 2025--but our electric bills would still rise. Prop 10 would have put Californians in the hole for over $5 billion to fund alternative-fuel research--but we're already doing this research in the private sector.
Californians sent these 2 measures down in flames...
Proposition 7 Renewable Energy Generation
Yes 3,294,158 35.1%
NO 6,102,907 64.9%
Proposition 10 Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Yes 3,742,997 40.1%
NO 5,581,303 59.9%
Nation-wide, although Americans elected Barak Obama as president, America is still a conservative country, because for the most part, we Americans live our lives with a conservative world-view in regards to family, faith, and free-enterprise.

One for the history books
These United States have a new President-elect, Barak Obama. For a man who was not completely vetted by his party, Barak Obama nevertheless has won the big prize for his party. This therefore is one for the history books.
Last night was Obama's night. January 20th will be his coronation. He will be our new president. I was amazed at how quickly the electoral count had wrapped up.
And now, both conservatives and Republicans have a need for self-reflection, to take a hard look inside. Losers usually do.
Indeed for conservatives, we must continue to fight the good fight: fight every attempt by the government to take a man's wealth and redistribute it to another, fight the government's attempt to radicalize our Supreme Court, fight any attempt by government to restrict political (free) speech, fight any attempt to weaken our national defenses, in other words, fight for the best interests of our country.
Barak Obama's election win may have been partially about the cult of personality. That's part of human nature. But more than that, people wanted change, --this was Obama's central thesis, and the American people decided to elect the agent of that change. It was not unlike the contest in 2000: here the American people also wanted change, and Al Gore was defeated by Gov. Geo W. Bush for president because people had had enough of Bill Clinton. It's for this historic reason that I'm not surprised at Obama's win yesterday.
But now, we will truly see what a President Obama believes, in the ways that he governs from America's executive branch.
But let's not forget that California, too, is huge player in social change. California proved that when it comes to marriage, there are not blue or red states. We Californians believe that the union of husband and wife is truly unique --and it was given special status in our law.

November 4, day of decision
I will never know how much it cost my founding fathers to secure my religious freedoms, --indeed all of my freedoms, for that matter.
Today voters will determine whether or not we hold fast to the legacy of liberty, or if we surrender it to the Left in this country --who are determined to take us down the road to socialism--the system that, once upon a time, our California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fled to make his way to America and her system of free enterprise.
Notwithstanding, the Jubilee deaconess and I know that with Providence we can prevail, regardless of who is elected on November 4.

Having a security clearance
When I worked at Ford Aerospace and Communications Corp. (FACC) in Palo Alto, CA I routinely worked with people who had secret clearances. It takes an employer a long time and much effort to obtain a secret clearance to vet an employee. (I never needed a secret clearance because I worked on mostly commercial hardware, not the spook satellites that required a high level clearance).
Interesting how the Dinosaur media (NBC, CBS, ABC) sent teams of reporters to dig through Alaskan dumpsters to find dirt on Gov. Sarah Palin, but they were completely uninterested in finding and interviewing William Ayers --the American terrorist who at one time bombed the U.S. Pentagon as "protest" against the United States. The day following Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers "wished" he had "done more" in his heyday, --he stated so publicly. He is unrepentant.
Sen. Obama's political career (a fundraiser) was launched in the living room of William Ayers.
American terrorist Wm. Ayers, a strange Rev. Jeremiah Wright declaring race-hatred from his pulpit on Sunday morning --there is no American presidential candidate before Barack Obama with associations to these kinds of characters; none.
Associations provide insight into a man's character. Had any other candidate launched his political career in the home of, say, an abortion clinic terrorist, he couldn't run for city dogcatcher much less for president of the free world.
Obama is a man of first-rate intellect. But his character is shady and immature.
If Obama ever tried to get a security clearance at my company, his associations would raise red flags and would ultimately ground him. It's that simple, and there would be no appeal.
I don't even think Barack Obama could get an FBI clearance to work for the U.S. Secret Service --the civil service that protects the President of the United States.

I love free speech
“John McCain has chosen a running mate whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” —South Carolina DNC Chairwoman Carol Fowler
“Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.” —Wendy Doniger, “academic” at the University of Chicago
Well I say let them talk.
When these kinds of people talk it enlightens the American voter to their world-view.

Terror-free for 7-1/2 years
President George W. Bush, the civilian commander who prevented any follow-up jihad terror attacks upon American soil, during his 8-year watch.
I appreciate that the responsibilities of the office of president have aged Pres. Bush, and may well have shortened his life. But that is his gift to his country. (It's sad by contrast that 8-years had also aged former Pres. Bill Clinton, and to a much greater extent, but for reasons other than keeping America's homeland secure).
As missionaries who deploy most often into the dangerous 10/40 drop zone, Mrs. O and I will listen closely in the debates to what Senator McCain and Senator Obama have to say about Islamic terror, about the enemy combatants jailed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and eavesdropping on Islamic terrorists who phone into the United States.
Sadly, in these regards, from what I've observed in recent American history, (i.e. the last 8-years), to vote for Sen. Obama is to also vote for a Democrat Party that consumed most of their energies during the last 7-1/2 years fighting an American president harder than they fought the perpetrators of September 11.
That is inexcusable to this voting citizen.
