America in crisis (The decline of the American Dream)

     Most of my friends are going to think I am crazy for taking on this topic. But anyway. 

     What I have seen out of St Louis is nothing short of an American disgrace. A young man loosing his life is tragic enough, but the way people have responded to this event has been nothing short of third world in likeness. You have groups up there that are doing for themselves and trying to benefit from all of tragic events. We are a nation of laws and what has become so disconcerting is the fact that some people think they do not have to follow those laws or some should have the ability to go around them. This case should be tried in a court not on TV and damn sure not from enraged citizens. If this were the case people would resort back to western days and send out a posse and hang the man before any trial is conveyed.  Thank God we have grown since that time. Or have we? All we want now days is fast as hell justice against white on black shootings and not so much on Black on Black shootings. Is that because black on black shootings are not so relevant? Or is there just more to gain from  a white on black shooting. Lets see they are both human beings separated by only color. But if you were to hear and intellectual talk about it, they would seem to find every little thing they can pick out of it and rummage through it like a rat, just so they can find some asinine talking point they can later become famous with. 

     As I have set here and watched the coverage of this I have come to the conclusion that there is an agenda here for the media. Mostly just to keep it stirred up long enough to attain ratings. The story is just over a week old and the media has already adjudicated it for the American people. These conclusions have been racism, police brutality, authoritarian system and so fourth. But the one thing that has not come up is the responsibility for the damage they have cause their own neighborhood. Why are they not asking (why are they destroying their own businesses and property?) Answer by the media. "because they are angry and it is everyone in America's fault for the oppression they have went through," "before my time" and it is America's responsibility to keep feeling guilty for something they had nothing to do with 160 years ago.  In other words WHITE GUILT. That gives people the right to use that excuse (Racism) as cover for total destruction. 

     I have very good friends that are people of color, all are hard working and very well educated and did not all come from rich homes and good neighborhoods. And yet they have offered no excuse for the people that have exploited the destruction that has gone on. They have asked the same questions I have and that is "Why?" why not let the law of the land reign in the problem  and let a Jury of his Peers Judge him like the community standards dictate. 

     I have seen all manner of excuses used here except for the correct one. The families wishes have not been held, people have went out in this young mans name and destroyed a town and a community. All of them should be ashamed of themselves for this. But that will not happen because the excuses they have used they have used for so long that people have become accustom to hearing them. Even the President still uses the excuse of color for the destruction of their communities. From what I have read from Dr Martin Luther King is he would have been disappointed in what his struggle has become. And that it had been bastardized by self serving people that look out only for themselves. 

Judge a Man not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.  Dr King. 

     The decline of the inter cities can be attributed to the lack of passion of the community to better themselves instead of using the blame and guilt tactic. Instead of walking around with your pants to your knees and yelling HO and Bitch and saying we do that because that is our culture. That just goes to show your own ignorance about African Heritage. The cradle of civilization was not founded by people yelling such things and generally walking around making an ass of themselves. Whites are just as guilty of this as anyone else. This will never end until we put the past behind us and we grow up and realize we are all human beings and we are responsible for what we want out of life. I have lived in countries where the people there have no choice in the matter. So pull up your big boy and girl pants and take some responsibility for your action and instead of making the problem worse, make it better.

A Life Changing Experience. Update.

A Life Changing Experience. 



     In 2010 me and my wife Ashley decided to make a change in the way we lived and  see how it would affect us over he next couple of years. So the first thing we did was sell the house. First off it was too big for the two of us in the first place, so downsizing was appropriate. So we went out and bought a class C (RV) and right off the bat we knew that was too small. So we traded it for a 32 ft Pilgrim Travel Trailer. Remodeled from front to back to fit our lives and business. Total cost for the change 15.000. So we started out with everything paid for and wanted to see what would happen next. So we traveled for about 6 months and stayed at several different places in Missouri and Tennessee and Mississippi, and so fourth. We decided to settle in one area in  January 2011. We decided to work camp for a park owner in Alabama. (That is where you work a day or two a week and your stay is free) There is a big call for work campers today, and I was surprised how many parks in the states use them and where some of them are at. But it is an amazing experience. Now getting back to the story. We have stayed here sense January 2011, just to see how much money we will save over the next 3 years. 


In 2010 the House payment was $1400.00  a month, Utilities were $450.00 a month. Pool Maintenance was $300.00 a month. Yard maintained was $350.00 a month. So the total per month was:$2500.00 a month. So in 36 months we have saved $90.000 over three years. That is just in payments. We went back into the account for this and realized we have saved well over $100.000 in three years, and we are tickled to death. We have use half the electricity and half the amount of water and we could not be more surprised at how this has turned out. After talking to my wife we have decided to stay the course, we could not be happier and could not be any closer than we are now. When you have nothing to worry about and you live a simple life you can wake up every day and do what you want, but most of all spend the time with the person you love and cherish in life, there is no better feeling. So I think we will continue this experiment and just enjoy the time we have with each other, and the stress  free life we have come to love. 

Robert and Ashley Moore 

     Update: Me and Ashley have continued to live this lifestyle and have enjoyed it even more than I could ever had anticipated it. We have went to a little bigger Rv a 32ft 5th wheel (More room for my work computers and mainly just a tad bit living and comfort room) We have traveled to some very beautiful places and meet some wonderful people. And some of these people are from all over the world and now have become very good friends with us. We love the simplicity of the whole life style and most of all we leave a very small footprint on our planet with electric costs of around 60 a month and the stress free days in which we start with a smile and no concerns about anything. Who knew that simplifying your life would be so much fun. Not to mention the nice amount of money you can save over the years not paying for all those high utility cost and house insurance and don't forget the large house payment.  When we get ready to retire we will have acquired enough money to pay cash for our house and still have a very nice nest egg to live on. But I think instead of a house we will invest in  a nice large Allegro Bus and continue to travel around and visit the beauty of this wonderful country and continue to meet people. I have found Joy in Life in the little things and me and my beautiful wife Ashley could not be more happy. This experiment has turned out to be the best Idea we have ever come up with. As one of my friends once told me (Ms Terri Maxwell) Life is good:)

The Islamic Koran and the cruelty toward Women #17

The Islamic Qur'an itself is responsible for cruelty toward Muslim women, both young and old.  In short, this evil book likens a woman to a field (or a tilth).  This "field" is to be used by a Muslim man as he sees fit.  This "model" was set forth by Muhammad himself, and what he said and how he treated women.  If a woman does not consent to make love, civil law of western countries consider this as rape, plain and simple. However the Quran does not ask women. It takes into account only the will of the husband.

The Quran in Surah (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)

Christians believe their lives should be modeled after that of the Lord Jesus who spent time teaching women, which broke with the customs of his day (Luke 10:38-42).  His respect was demonstrated even toward sinful women who turned to him for compassion (Luke 7:36-39).  Jesus, the true prince of peace,  crossed racial and cultural barriers to reveal his true identity to a Samaritan woman (John 4:1-42).  Jesus healed a woman on the Sabbath and Jesus He freed the woman caught in adultery from being stoned.  And, after his resurrection, Jesus honored the female disciples by appearing to them first (Matthew 28:8-10).

Aisha, the most beloved of Muhammad's many wives said to Muslim women: "O womenfolk, if you knew the rights that your husbands have over you, every one of you would wipe the dust from her husband's feet with her face."

This satanically-inspired Islamic religion has also managed to enslave women, which the true God would never be part of.  If the husband wants to have sex with his wife he can, even by force - which in the west, and in Christian and Jewish tradition, is considered cruelty and rape.   Under Egyptian law, Muslims are not allowed to change their religious identities to any other faith, although Christians are free to convert officially to Islam. 

The Koran (Qur'an) is the biggest enemy of civilization, liberty and truth that the world has ever known.  Inherent in the Qur'an are polygamy, divorce, slavery, elevation of jihad as a sure way to heaven,  hatred of non-believers, and even lying if it is gainful.  

Cruel Muslim mullahs, imams and ayatollah's insist a woman must wear a veil as a way to remove the female sex from its just position and influence in the world--itself a form of slavery.  You may think this to be a small issue.  You wouldn't if you were a woman and had to bundle up in 110 degree weather every day, just because of extreme male chauvinism.  This comes from Muslim interpretation of the way Muhammad treated his own wives to apply to all women.

O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. Surah 33:59, The Noble Quran

And speaking of seeing a woman's face:
It is no sin before their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brother's sons, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or their (female) slaves. Surah 33:55, The Noble Quran

Comparison between Muhammad and Jesus (Isa)
Jesus (Isa)
Muhammad
Jesus is God (John 1, Col. 1) and hereJesus forgave sins and dispelled demons in His own name.  He said "I and the Father are one".
 
Muhammad admitted he is only a man (Surah 18:110)
Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Matthew 28:6)and rose into heaven in front of many witnesses.
 
Muhammad remains dead
His Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection was foretold bynumerous prophets. See here

Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1300 yrs before Muhammad): "...What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?"
Nothing predicted about Muhammad.  The "Comforter" was the Holy Spirit Jesus promised the apostles.
 
Jesus lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21).Allah himself refers to Muhammad as sinful (Surah 40:55, 48:1-2).
 
Jesus did numerous miracles to prove His divinity, including raising the dead and command over nature  (All Gospel writers and Josephus). While teaching his apostles Jesus said; "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves" (John 14:11 and Matthew 9:2-7)
 
On two occasions in the Qur'an Muhammad admitted he could do no miracles to show any sort of divinity or divine calling (Surah 17:90-95; 3:183, also see: 29:50-51)
Jesus cared for His enemies (Matthew 5:43-44).Jesus promised to save those who believe and trust in Him. 
 
Killed his enemies and anyone who disagreed with him (Surah 9:5)
Held a high view of marriage and hated divorce - as God the Father does (Matthew 19:7-8).
 
Muhammad ccommanded his adopted son to divorce his wife so that she would become his (Surah 33:36-38)
Accurately prophesied many verifiable events that took place after His time (Matthew 24).Delivered only one -questionable-guess/prophecy about the Romans winning a future battle.  No date or place given. (Surah 30:1-4)
 
Jesus gave his disciples authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness (Matthew 10:1; Mark 6:12-13)Muhammad gave his followers the authority to wage war on unbelievers.Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers. (Surah 48:29)

Jesus told his disciples not to ask for money, and not to carry money with them. (Matthew 10:8-9, Luke 10:7)

Muhammad instructed his followers on how to divide booty they seized from unbelievers.  He insisted on 20% for himself.

Jesus said to his followers that if anyone will not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. (Matthew 10:14-15, 23)

Muhammad ordered Muslims to attack any city that rejected Islam.

Jesus told his followers to get ready, because unbelievers would flog them, arrest them, and put them on trial (Matthew 10:16-19)

Muhammad told his followers to fight (militarily)  hard against unbelievers.

"Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush..." Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29.

Jesus washed his disciples' feet.He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.  John 13:4-5, 12-17

One day after battle, Muhammad came back home and said to his daughter Fatima, "Wash the blood from this sword and I swear in the name of Allah this sword was obeying me all the time."  Muhammad then took the swords of his friend Ali ibn Abu Talib and washed them for him.
 

Jesus never took up a sword or encouraged anyone else to do so.  Once a close follower took it upon himself to take up a sword.  Jesus soundly reprimanded him.  Jesus warned; "all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52)

According to Muslim scholar Pickthal, "the number of campaigns (military) he (Muhammad) led in person during the last ten years of his life is twenty-seven, in nine of which there was hard fighting.  The number of expeditions which he planned and sent out under other leaders is thirty-eight" (n.d., pg. xxvi)
Jesus said: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? (Matthew 5:44-46)
Surah 9:29:  PICKTHAL: "Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture (Christians & Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low."
 

Jesus's last message to his followers about himself and his mission:
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:46-47

Muhammad's last speech to his followers on Mt Arafat:
....."I descended by Allah with the sword in my hand, and my wealth will come from the shadow of my sword.  And the one who will disagree with me will be humiliated and persecuted."
