WELCOME

a poem for Christmas Eve

Welcome little One

Lying there on manger bed of straw

Nursing peacefully on virgin mother’s milk.

Warrior, enmity-maker, serpent’s head crusher,

It’s your natal night, and we bid you welcome.

Welcome little Promised One

Virgin offspring, unspotted by Adam’s primal sin

Death-destroyer, darkness conquerer

Your only weapon is your weakness,

Your victor sign - a cross.

Welcome Sin-bearer,

Unashamed in Adam’s nakedness

Swaddled in our embarrassment at trading fellowship with You

For a Lie that said we could be like You .

Yet you are not ashamed to be like us.

Who would have known to look at You,

So weak and helpless

That You are the ancient Promise?

Humanity’s Head and God’s image restored -

Mystery hidden, at last we see You.

Who would have known to look at You,

All helpless at your birth

That You are Light and Life

Holding the cosmos in hands

Soon to be pierced for our transgressions?

Welcome holy Infinite

Creator of the Universe, Lord of all

Who left the brightness of heavenly splendor

To make your dwelling place among us

And walk again with us in the cool of the day.

Welcome tender Lamb

Unblemished by our prideful arrogance,

Passover - by whose sprinkled blood we walk in freedom

Holocaust - sin-sacrifice for the world

Heel bruised for our healing.

Welcome little Savior,

The darkness trembles at your Name,

Devils shudder at the sound of your infant cooing,

While we wonder at such wondrous love,

That made you be one of us.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Government = Violence

What it comes down to is this, any law you propose states this, I will kill you if you do not agree to do "X." I say this because ALL laws say this. All . Jay walking is a "crime." So, what does that mean? It means if you jay walk you risk death at the hands of government enforcers. How so? You are accosted while jay walking by the local police. You say, "Buzz off bucko!" The cop says "you are under arrest!" You say "Not even." They attempt to restrain you and you resist, you are now "resisting arrest" and in the process of subduing you force will be used to make you to comply. The harder you resist the more likely "they" are to simply kill you. All laws imply deadly force. All laws = the death penalty. Of course they won't say you are being killed for the "crime" of jay walking, but for resisting arrest or attempting to escape or whatever, but really it's the original "crim
