Following the humiliating defeat of every budget measure he tried to push on us hurting Californians, Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that California’s top elected officials will get a salary cut of 18%... in ... uh ... 7 months...
Nice to see the Governator springing into action to help our bankrupt state. :^(

California is bankrupt
Too bad California isn't a world leader in technology, tourism, agriculture, or entertainment.
If we had all of these things going for us, state bankruptcy could have been avoided.
Man, if we had all that going for our state, it would take a real bunch of morons to botch it up...

Notre Dame
Liberals were awestruck by Obama's statesmanlike speech at Notre Dame the other day, but whatever he says about abortion is frothy nonsense because we cannot to vote on abortion policy in America!

L-Team is serving in Vietnam
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...
...I'm going to tell my nieces and nephews, "Get a government job!"

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...

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.

Bombay mass-terror

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.
