Country Heroes
Hank III
Well, oh what a feeling
that burns down low
when you ain’t got no where to turn,
or no where to go
It makes me feel like sometimes
I’m outta control
So I’m gonna get wasted
with all my country heroes
I’m drinkin’ some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard’s easin’ my misery
and Waylon’s keepin’ me from home
Hank’s givin’ me those high times -
Cash is gonna sing it low
I’m here gettin’ wasted -
here with my country heroes
I’m drinkin’ that whiskey
out of that glass
and if that ain’t country,
boy, you can kiss my ass
I wanna hear them old songs -
nothin’ of the new
’cause this might be the last time
I’m gonna see you
So I’m drinkin’ some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard’s easin’ my misery
and Waylon’s keepin’ me from home
Hanks givin’ me those high times -
Cash is gonna sing it low
and I’m here gettin’ wasted -
just like my country heroes
I’m here gettin’ wasted -
with all my country heroes
Of course the geek in me demands this s/whiskey/jaeger/g to make it right. I don’t have anything to say beyond that…
An unsourced Chesterton quote sums up the insanity which will follow
When a Man stops believing in God he doesn¹t then believe in nothing, he believes anything.

Had Toni Vernelli gone ahead with her pregnancy ten years ago, she would know at first hand what it is like to cradle her own baby, to have a pair of innocent eyes gazing up at her with unconditional love, to feel a little hand slipping into hers - and a voice calling her Mummy.But the very thought makes her shudder with horror.
Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.
I will take this time to make an announcement which may explain why this article hit me like a bat upside the head. We are officially expecting our seventh blessing from God. I am still in the shock state but I know I will be excited in the coming days as they turn into weeks which will turn into months. Then I go and read about some psycho who believes she is saving the planet by aborting a child. The sickness goes even deeper as you read on. If you are strong of stomach then please continue reading. If you are not then stop right here, say a prayer to God the Father and thank Him that this craziness is limited in its scope and by definition will bred itself out of society.
Incredibly, so determined was she that the terrible “mistake” of pregnancy should never happen again, that she begged the doctor who performed the abortion to sterilise her at the same time.
He refused, but Toni - who works for an environmental charity - “relentlessly hunted down a doctor who would perform the irreversible surgery.
Odd how this woman couldn’t, at first, find a doctor to perform surgery on her that would reverse nature’s (God’s) plan. She claims to be protecting the environment by denying her own religion. Forget for a moment that God created the heavens and the earth. Forget that He alone breathed life into our species. Let us pretend we are like the enviro-nuts and believe that it’s all nature and random chance. By sterilizing yourself you remove yourself from nature. Let us take a trip down the avenue of random chance. The abortion alone could have saved the world from another Hitler. It could have saved us from another genocide like Rwanda. On the flip side it could have destroyed the mind that could have saved us from the Satan of the environmentalist movement: Global Warming. It could have destroyed the woman who discovered the next breakthrough in renewable energy. Let us now pull our minds back into reality and delve further into the madness.
Finally, eight years ago, Toni got her way.
At the age of 27 this young woman at the height of her reproductive years was sterilised to “protect the planet”.
You can see that this person has removed herself from the gene pool. Her chance of passing on her religion to the next generation is severely limited. If I were a bitter person I would hope that more whack jobs would sterilize themselves but the fact is that the major event in a person’s life that sways them to change their beliefs is the birth of a child. I would hope that the man in this woman’s life would have been disappointed but alas this is not the case.
Incredibly, instead of mourning the loss of a family that never was, her boyfriend (now husband) presented her with a congratulations card.
Going against all biological imperatives is not something that a human being was designed to be able to do easily. It would take a very massive indoctrination into some kind of craziness to make this decision as easy as it appears to have been for this couple. The next paragraph almost gets it right but misses the mark.
While some might think it strange to celebrate the reversal of nature and denial of motherhood, Toni relishes her decision with an almost religious zeal.
It is not, as the writer states, “an almost religious zeal” it is in fact a religious zeal. This is the hallmark of the current enviro-movement. They have removed God from the equation, or in the case of those claiming to be Christian made Him impotent in the face of man’s actions, to such a degree that they believe that they can actually change something that has been provably happening since the dawn of time. I am not going to debate the full depths of the religion in this post as I am examining this one zealot’s actions.
“Having children is selfish. It’s all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet,” says Toni, 35.
“Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population.”
Of course she invokes the fallacy of over-population to try and justify her actions. They are actions that go against nature (God) and every instinct in every species. We are created to reproduce. It is our function. To dig deeper we are created to reproduce worshipers of a great and awesome God. It is as Chesterton is attributed in the quote with which I opened this piece. We remove God and people will believe in anything. We cannot, as a species, believe in nothing. We are hard wired to believe. If we refuse the truth then we are open to any number of lies and falsehoods that seem beautiful and nice but by their very source are sinister and vile.
I have posted less than half the article. The rest is drivel about false moral responsibility and leading green lives. They have brainwashed themselves into believing that the most basic instinct, even by their own belief system, is evil and morally bereft. Chesterton, at least by attribution, was right. We are seeing it more and more every day. Religion masquerading as science, genocide of the unborn, and other liberal conerstones. It is a religion and we are blind if we do not treat it as such.
I know it’s been way too long since I have written. However I offer, as usual, no excuses. It is time for an upgrade of the backend of the site. Depending on how that goes it may be time for a re-design. I like the sink still and it may be the longest running skin I have ever used. So who knows. I have one article to post before I go down this long and winding upgrade road. So have fun reading it. After this I think I am going to enable a mogblog module as well as turning off comments or turning on full moderation. I have a couple of other paths which I must walk that I would like to document in some fashion. Some may or may not understand hence full moderation or no comments at all. Wish my luck on the upgrade.
