I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT! -- for Just A Minute Radio on Monday120702

Now the dust begins to settle from the tear-stained cheeks of those who thought the battle to get rid of OBAMA-CARE was lost last week.

 

And through the fog and dust and roller coaster feelings of the past week, a few dim figures begin to take shape and make themselves known. The first one popped up before the day was out on last Friday when it was announced Mr. Romney’s campaign monetary chests began to fill up with more contributions than anyone had thought possible.

 

Though the road ahead has many ups and downs – and twists and turns -- the uncertainties of what lies ahead are beginning to sort themselves out. For instance how much of a penalty will you have to pay if you don’t follow the governments’ instructions and pay the amount of penalty you are slugged with when the amount you owe for not buying into the government’s insurance program comes a-knocking at your door or mailbox?

 

Ummm haddn’t quite thought that out – at least I hadn’t. What other surprises will we find in the huge Obama-care bill when it becomes law? How many more staff for the IRS, with their costs and retirement incomes etc. that will have to be paid out of the treasury are yet to be calculated and explained to the public as part of the new amount of load the ‘middle class’ will have to carry and pass on to their children and grandchildren will be a part of our fiscal future.

 

These are the kinds of *surprises* yet to be discovered as we unwrap the package Ms. Nancy Pelosi said we should undertake in order to “find out what’s in the bill once it hits the fan.”  It’s all of the ‘surprise package’ to be delivered to our doorstep as we “move on” according to the President’s instructions passed down through this Administration’s load of surprises we will be saddled with as the wraps come off.

 

Of course these are the ‘little’ realities we shall find out belong to us now that the Government takes on the role of major ‘Nanny’ to the populace – we, of course, are supposed to accept each little (or big) ‘present’ directly from the “Oval Office” as an indicator of how much “Uncle O” wants to take care of looking after our welfare. Nobody but him, and those close to him, were able to see all these things headed our way.

 

Arrgh… guess I’ll stop for now. More to come later (I fear).

 

Cordially, IN HIM,

“JUST A MINUTE”

I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!

            Just a Minute: A Revolutionary Naval Victory is the model Chief Justice Roberts followed in his upside-down ruling on “Obama Care.” Everyone thought he’d ‘abandoned ship’ – in fact, he simply moved the battle to another theater. I wrote last Friday the clear direction to maintain our freedom was espoused when Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government was bestowed upon the newly-minted nation – responded “A Republic -- Madam, if you can keep it!”

          Keeping a Republic demands attention to staying on the road. The only way to get off the ‘socialistic’ road is to do what Charles Krauthammer suggests: We’re tasked with the job of --- “Electing a new President and a new Congress!” That’s the only course open to us if we are to continue the path leading America to be the most successful self-controlled government in the last 200 years. It’s available if we want to continue on the course of Freedom. All others reveal the problems seen in Europe and emerging nations.

          This goal can only be accomplished with God’s power and leadership. <> I’m Jack Buttram.

IT'S A BIG JOB -- LET'S GET TO IT! -- Just A Minute Radio for Friday120629

Great to have you with us today for the joining party.

 

We’re getting closer to the real ‘crunch’ time as we move on toward the Nov. 6^th election. It’s going to be a corker – but beware… Mr. Obama and company have already pulled all the CORKS for their celebration – but just like Mr. “O” was leading them astray (and all the rest of us with misleading information) they are soon coming to the bottom of the barrel – and that just means they get ‘let down’ sooner and with a mighty *bang*!

 

Anyway we’ve launched this program with prayer and diligence and committing the result to the Lord. That’s the way it should be – and will be. So here we go into the fray and we’ll be sure to find the way – “The Lord leads in mysterious ways HIS wonders to perform.”  Just look at how far wide of the mark *everyone* was in calculating how the Obama-care milieu was going to come out.

 

Look I carefully calculated during my days in San Francisco in 1964 leading up to how “we” – the Goldwater Campaign being run out of the RNC Headquarters on “Eye” Street in downtown Washington – were going to have the ‘silent majority’ spring out of the woodwork and rack up the win for us – we even had a big party planned. You know the end of the story ... it didn’t happen.

 

UNTIL several election cycles later when a movie actor from California who learned how to handle the reins of power in the California State House, was seated in the OVAL office at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in one of the coldest Januarys I can remember to become one of the oldest Presidents we ever had AND one of the best ever – none of us on the front end of that campaign could ever have engineered the kind of Presidential terms in office He had – Praise the Lord!

 

So…let us remember – and tattoo it on the inside of our eyelids – (figuratively of course) – THE LORD IS IN CONTROL!  He never fails! If you don’t know that then you aren’t reading the Bible enough!

 

Well…here on the eve of this tremendous victory coming our way we simply must remember – HE IS IN CONTROL – the earth,, sky, sea and the entire universe is HIS – HE made it – by HIM all things “consist” (which means hold together) – so just hang on to that until next week when we have time to chat it all over again.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

IT’S A BIG JOB – LET’S GET TO IT!

          Just a Minute: Didn’t I tell you yesterday there was big news in Washington?

Now I get to tell you about it. The first sentence begins with “WE THE PEOPLE…” and continues with, “… and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity…”

          So today let us set about securing those blessings. In our America it is absolutely clear that ultimate power rests with the people. Ask any constitutional scholar and he or she will tell you the Constitution – as endorsed and empowered BY THE PEOPLE says what may or may not be done and that includes paying taxes and/or writing and imposing laws and the powers of those who form this “more perfect union” of the United States of America.

          It is simple and fundamental therefore it should be readily understood by Americans.  We are this day empowered to order and do whatever we wish to accomplish as a nation. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different; read the Constitution its Preamble and its Amendments. It’s all there. End of case!

BIG JOBS ALL -- ONE AT A TIME -- For Just A Minute Radio Thursday120628

Government is a BIG ENTERPRISE – and complicated to run as Mr. Obama has found out as the water rises around him.

 

Right now they are panicking at the idea that a mere Senator – and a Freshman at that is raising and has the ability with his financial resources to out spend the President of the United States in trying to keep his seat in the drivers role in the OVAL office.

 

I’m sure the thoughts are “HOW can this have happened to me?  I’ve done twice as many fund raisers as he has etc. How is this unwinding, unraveling or whatever is the proper term. – Maybe I ought to give Jimmy Carter a call!”  --- But it’s all going to be of no avail. You can’t spend that much money --- throwing it to the wind in plain sight – and not expect a backlash when the bills start to mount up and have to be accounted for.

 

But I guess lecture fees and book returns… and all that will see us through – although this swinging in the wind for the AG isn’t any fund – especially if a jail sentence comes roaring out at the last minute. But the polls – yeah the polls – those  are going to make all things right…. I think…

 

Wha… what/…time to get up already…

 

We all have our nightmares of tight places – at least I think so….Maybe tomorrow will be better….

 

Time to turn off the radio kids…the soap opera continues next week… and the next week… and the ….

“JUST A MINUTE”

BIG JOBS ALL --- ONE AT A TIME

          Just a Minute: Today there’s big news from the high court. It’s their last day in session until the early fall. There’s also a free-wheeling CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY to reclaim the Republic. Laudable goals all – but they all need oxygen and in government reform efforts Oxygen is spelled “contributions.” There are a million of those efforts out there but some are more effective than others and I think this one is possibly on track.

          Earlier this week Audit the Fed passed unanimously the House Oversight and Govt. Reform Committee on a voice vote. That would never have happened just a few years ago. Just trying to get a hearing was a long shot never mind a significant victory.

          This new effort is one stimulated by Congressman Ron Paul and his son Sen. Rand Paul and they seems to be making progress with getting the effort underway – It will be resisted but something along that line will be needed in whatever ‘clean-up’ campaign results in the coming days.

          If you know how, Google “Campaign for Liberty” and see what comes up. I think you’ll be surprised and possibly pleased.

HOW DID THIS GATHERING ARRANGEMENT ARRIVE? -- Just a Minute Radio - blogspot.com for Wednesday 120627

Getting up too early – staying up too late… those are my excuses. But it’s really just the old guy slowing down.

 

Anyway we worked the polls in Greenville area on Tuesday the 26^th which requires getting up about  4:30 AM and staying up getting the program for today done until sometime after 1AM… makes for unclear thinking and writing… but it needs to be done. Thanks for your prayers!

 

That’s the one thing that Satan can’t stand is the fact that God’s children still have access to the Father which Satan doesn’t have. That truth will sustain your servants as it pleases you and demonstrates to your family that YOU are indeed all powerful – even if we, your servants are often failures.

 

It is not by power or might – but BY *MY* SPIRIT says the Lord. He is supreme. I am the weak one that makes errors. God is perfect and when needed can make me perfectly fit into HIS pictures and plans for our lives.

 

So…I’m putting away the attempts at communicating tonight – I’m doing so in the power of the Lord. He WILL prevail because HE always does and Satan knows it. He tries – and sometimes succeeds in fooling us. But he cannot fool an all knowing, all powerful supreme being. HE IS GOD… there is no other!

 

So, I’m off to bed – for get the errors and the glitches. I’ve already forgotten them and HE will use them for HIS glory. He holds YOU Satan in derision – and the same for those who follow you.

 

Good night boys and girls…

 

Read your BIBLE –listen to the Heavenly Father and follow HIS leading. You *cannot lose* in that fashion – and Satan knows it. That’s the truth! Certified by God.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

IT'S EASY TO MISS THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS -- Just a Minute Radio for Tuesday 120626

Close call –

 

We’ve continued to have the addresses glitches no matter what we do. BUT – today is showdown day and we’re hoping to make a breakthrough. We’ll see.

 

Occasionally the machine (or the Gremlins that live amongst the letters and punctuation remarks) just decide to either go on a strike OR do something that gloms up the whole operation – usually the latter.

 

But ‘nemmine – we don’t let little things like that get under our skin do we.

 

Well…DO WE????

 

From far back in the ice caverns I hear echoes that sound like some of the old WWII Gremlins that haunted these grounds because of the terrible tearing up of the grounds that were done back in the 40’s – they just hung around because they had no better place to go.

 

When the WWII Recip Engines were replaced with superchargers and other things – well it became a hard castle for the gremlins to maintain – and they were swept out – at least *most* of them were – but a few held on to their old stompin’ grounds and made trouble eventually for the rightful owners and tenants.

 

Eventually they got fed up with the whole arrangement. But also, eventually the trolls took over the easier undergrounds – they’re bigger than Gremlins you know. – Well, I’m not an expert on troll and other underground species… but they are still here in force if not welcomed.

 

Never heard of them you say…. Well that’s up to the head Troll.. if he doesn’t like the settings and settlings – Oh well you see well enough what I mean.

 

I know, I know… this is the 21^st Century and all those other shenanigans (or whatever you want to call them) they’re just mischief – but they do terrify the occasionally spring festival and the like – depends a lot on the weather. Oh… I’m late… late for a very important date… no time to say hello – good by – I’m Late I’m late…I’m late!

 

OK Children…enough playing for today back to the slides and springboards…don’t let mamma see you dirty like that… That reddish dirt messes up everthing.

 

See you next time around. We don’t want to be unfriendly !!!

 

Now am I supposed to sign this or you…

 

Just Leave it on St. Nicks doorstep…

But what if he finds out when he comes back. 

 

We ‘ll just have to go under that bridge when we get to it. By by Now…

 

Cordially – Oh well … I guess they’re gone at least until another day.

IT’S EASY TO MISS THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS

          Just a Minute: Today in certain parts of the Nation it’s “election run off” day. When candidates tried to win, but did not get enough votes for a plurality and thus have to run again. But since these sites are scattered it’s hard to say something meaningful for different sites in which you may have no interest. So here are some previously “passed over” words of wisdom that may be useful to you in any circumstance.

          oOo You can inherit wealth – but not wisdom. – Age 51

oOo The older I get, the less attention I get. – Age 6

oOo About 90 percent the things that happens to me are good – only 10 percent         are bad. The trick is to focus on the 90 percent. – Age 54

oOo I’ve learned I still have a lot to learn – Age 92

oOo Finally -- Don’t buy a white carpet, if you have a black dog – Age 32.

OK – See you tomorrow. Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

FREE SPEECH VS. MINORITY 'RITES' - FOR Just A Minute Radio120625

Nice to have you with us to begin a new week as we really hit summer time square on.

 

A perplexing cloud came over the horizon over the weekend – and I spent quite a bit of time figuring out what to do about it. So I hope you dig into it (the subject) a bit on your own. I love to learn what you come up with.

 

The weekend subject began with the fact of space-science and other things that he’s done so well with in writing being a big part of the subject matter. I did a fair amount of research into FARENHEIT 451 – which I had recalled by a slightly different title. [I was graduating from college the year that was published and so concentrating on getting a family started and moving around and paying bills etc. etc. So I didn’t have time to read a lot of books…]

 

Anyway I thought it was linked up with the Biblical question about how many times one should be forgiven. (Peter’s question and Jesus answer – “Not seven times seven but seventy time seven…) in other words there ought to be an infinite number of times for forgiveness.  Well I thought Bradbury was building his story around that… ‘Twas not the case. It was the burning temperature of paper – books presumably… and I didn’t quite get the whole thing until it was explained to me.

 

However, be that as it may – Mr. Bradbury also clarified what he meant when he added a coda (I had to look that one up too – it means a conclusion added to a pronouncement of some kind… ) Essentially, he was saying he was against the minorities (like people who didn’t like a book and worked to get it recalled) he would just as soon see them burned in their own bonfire.

 

Well that’s a long way around my elbow to get to my thumb.  Sorry I bothered you with it. I am resolved to read Mr. Bradbury’s book which I understand sort of marked the peak of his literary output. I’m resolved to do more reading. (J) But that’s how today’s script – which is supposed to follow below on this page – came about.

 

Drop me a line if you care to discuss it and I’ll give it a whirl – though I don’t promise anything very literary.

 

Have a great day and come back again soon.

All the best.

 

Cordially IN HIM,

 

Jack

FREE SPEECH VS. MINORITY ‘RITES’

          Just a Minute: I’ve wrestled with Free Speech vs. Minority Rights issues, Ninety one year old Ray Bradbury died in his California home just two weeks ago. His 1953 novel, “Fahrenheit 451” -- staple of high school English tests from this highly recognized multi-faceted writer, caused me think through an awful lot of “on the other hand” scenarios.

          Are we fearful of backlash from Islamic extremists or the anti-Wall Street marchers? Do we bow to the will of the anti-ethanol crowd or the ‘stop the deep well oil- frackers’?

          In an addition to his ’79 novel’s printing -- an angry Bradbury raged: …  (Quote) ”It’s a mad world and will get madder [if] the minorities, be they dwarf or giant … simpleton or sage interfere with aesthetics.”

          Which calls up a broadcast I often heard repeated by Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. -- “A man comes down the sidewalk swinging his fist, but his freedom ends where my nose begins.”

          We add the “free speech” legal ruling -- one is not allowed to shout
“FIRE” in a crowded theater, and we’ve pretty well surrounded the case.

WHEN YOU COME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD - TAKE IT -- for JUST A MINUTE RADIO.blogspot.com on Friday 1206022

Ah-ha … the heat gets turned up slowly … but gradually it is felt … and the showers must become more frequent (both inside and outside) – Hmm maybe I should re-cast that last… but it’s a hot Friday afternoon.

 

I hope you and your family are ‘enjoying’ the change of seasons. We hear the gas prices are coasting down… slooowly… not like the pace with which they mounted the cliff. I guess that’s the thing. How quickly they can manage to accommodate the *increase* in prices – and how *sloooowly* do they manage to oversee the reduction in petrol…. Careful now we don’t want to go too fast.

 

Why does my cynicism quotient go up with the price – but I guess it comes down with the price too…

 

Anyway – if you have a picnic – or an outdoor meal as we managed to do this week – and the ghost of summers past began to coast around the house. We wondered – why the tremendous variation in the rates of increase and decrease – but then why ruin a perfectly good summer afternoon.

 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the church services wherever you may be.  Don’t get caught unexpectedly in the downpours – they do happen suddenly sometimes – usually when you have something on that will get damaged by getting wet. But that’s the cost of fashion nowadays isn’t it. (J)

 

All  the best…Be back with us Monday if the criks don’t rise. (Hadda throw a little Midwestern slang in there.) See you later.

WHEN YOU COME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD TAKE IT…

            Just a Minute:  Yogi Berra is saddled with muddled sayings like – “When you come to a fork in the road – take it.” As usual it’s ignorant, a slight, derogatory and totally undeserved. -- I doubt Yogi ever said it – and if he did I’m certain he didn’t mean it.

          However the propensity for misquotations at someone else’s expense prevails. Yogi, frankly is a dry wit -- and ‘keeper of the common-man’s good sense’. I’d back him over the “Ivy league boys” any day of the week. The real buffoons in the public arena are those who saddle us with stupid stuff allegedly from mouths of folks who are mired in stupidity more than their critics.

          Yet here’s the Armed services Commander in Chief sending down a decree that telling the Service Branches to celebrate "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month." It’s ridiculous! One might as well order armed service personnel make mud pies in the middle of the street. It’s not only nonsensical it doesn’t relate to their jobs. It’s stupidity combined with the personification of idiocy; -- no relevance or mandate for commonsense is evident.

MESSAGES FOR MY CONTINUING EDUCATION -- For JustAMinuteRadio.blogspot.comThursday120621

Well, we’ve survived the first *full day* of Summer 2012.  So far, not so hot… but certainly hot enough and more to come I presume.

 

Apparently the summer has gotten more than hot for the “AG” – Attorney General Holder – and for fear of doing harm to himself the AG has suggested (or it seems like it – he’s hoping the POTUS [PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] will do himself no harm in ordering the ‘AG’ to take certain actions.

 

I’m not sure he’s on entirely solid ground there because there are certain things the President can do to harm himself – the proverbial ‘shooting himself’ in the foot to which I believe he is walking perilously close. But then I’ve never been in the President’s shoes – or his socks either for that matter.

 

See my humor runs amuck sometimes.  So today I decided to take a “laugh” break and we’ll just read a few of the humorous items that appear on my typing desk. I’m not totally sure they’re genuine – but then I have no idea if they are incorrect nor the means to check out their certainty. Perhaps you can drop me a line if you wrote one – or not!

 

There are still a few hanging around but I hesitate to take your mind off the important things – and we will have to just ‘take a break’ every now and then. I’ll check and see the HVAC isn’t turned too low for the oncoming hot weather. Stick with us.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

Here are a few notes you might want to follow sent from friends…’

¨     I’ve learned using a dollar’s worth of gas to save twenty-five cents on a cross town purchase is not smart economics. – Age 46

¨     From a new mother: I’ve learned when my baby thinks it’s time to eat – it doesn’t matter what I think.  – Age 30

¨     I’ve learned it when you’re home from college and your little brother wrestles you to the ground, it’s his way of telling you he loves you. – Age 19

¨     My grown children treasure the things we did rather than the things we bought. – Age – 66

¨     Finally – Never hire an electrician who has singed eyebrows. – Age 72

WHY IS A PRESSIN' QUESTION CALLED PRESSIN'? -- Just a Minute Radio for Wednesday 120620

Lots of scurrying around here. Our #2 son –Kim-- had a short bout with chest pains for a short time last evening and is undergoing hospital tests as I write.

 

Which means having some tests done ‘away from home’ – which entails clearances etc. and as I’m writing this he’s in one of the major hospitals in Greenville undergoing some tests for heart damage. We don’t think he had any – but he has been a victim of melanoma that required brain surgery after some skin excisions and after a few years resulted in has required further surgery and treatment.

 

It’s been a long road and on requiring prayer and patience. But we know the Lord is always in control of these kinds of things and so we rejoice in the loving care of our Heavenly Father.

 

Our fleshly tendency in these situations is to cry “Why Me?” – but the more trusting and accurate statement is “Why not me?”  Thankfully our immediate family has suffered only survivable encounters with accidents and illness heretofore – and we thank the Lord for that. But at the same time the voices of scripture come echoing across the centuries: “Why not me?” Our resolution from what we see in Scripture is that “All things work together for good for those who love God; who are the called according to HIS purpose.

 

Admittedly sometime that road looks dark and treacherous – but God has said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. So we know our Heavenly Father cares – and loves us – sending things our way in order to glorify HIM. Dear Lord, may that **always** be true for those we love!

 

Lord willing, we will be here again in the next few days and will report His Love and Mercy toward us then!

 

Cordially IN HIM,
