I got an internship with the local/school newspaper. Check out my article posted above on Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack.

I thought I would freshen up this blog a little. I am pretty sure there are a few cob webs on here being that I have not touched it in MONTHS.

For those of you who did not know about my up-to-date blog, you can head over to myroadtothealtar.blogspot.com

Or you can stay here and stare at a screen that hardly changes. Your choice.

The Unsung Davids

Looking for a good read?

Author and conservative talk show host of KTEM 1400, Ben Barrack, is releasing his new book, The Unsung Davids. It is available for pre-order on amazon. It will be released September 2012. It will reach book stores nation wide so get your copy now!

http://www.amazon.com/Unsung-Davids-Battled-Goliath-Without/dp/0982567995/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332952527&sr=1-3

Below is a summary from the author

The story of David vs. Goliath is perhaps the best personification of the fight between good and evil. Righteousness was overmatched and evil was overconfident. Each of the ten men featured in this book knows what it's like to be engaged in such a battle. They all share a common bond consisting of common traits that even further reinforce that bond. Amazingly, so do their adversaries. These ten men each perceived things like injustice, persecution, corruption, deceit, and dishonor as personal affronts they simply could not tolerate. Each chose to stand up to evil and didn't back down, even after seeing its face. Armed with little more than the truth, these men fought valiantly and relentlessly, entities and institutions that would do us all harm.

Yet, they remain unsung as of this writing.

Peter Paul vs. HILLARY CLINTON: When one man who the Clintons attempted to double cross, didn't go quietly, the woman who would run for president got far more than she bargained for.

Richard Landes vs. PALLYWOOD: When one man was exposed to the underbelly of manufactured news, he blew the lid off of a strategem of war used against western civilization.

 

Roberto Micheletti vs. THE WORLD: When one man stood up for his country by following its Constitution while international forces pressured him to compromise, he took on the world.

 

Larry Grathwohl vs. WEATHER UNDERGROUND: When one man infiltrated a terrorist organization for the FBI in 1969, he would become an even bigger nemesis for that group's founders years later.

 

David Conn vs. JIM JONES: When one man was ignored by the church, the media, and political leaders, he would become the most dangerous, yet surreptitious threat to an insane preacher.

 

Wayne Perryman vs. DEMOCRATIC PARTY: When one man demanded an apology for how the Democratic Party had treated his race, that Party went to the mat in order to prevent having to do so.

 

O'Neal Dozier vs. REPUBLICAN PARTY: When one man expressed his opinion about Islam, he was blacklisted by an establishment that lacked the political courage to stand with him.

 

J.D. Cash vs. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: When one man decided after the Oklahoma City bombing, that he wanted to be a journalist at the age of 43, he showed the media how to do its job.

 

Anthony Shaffer vs. DIA BRASS: When one man did what he thought was patriotic, a powerful bureaucracy attempted to destroy him as a traitor to that bureaucracy.

 

Walid Shoebat vs. ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM: When one man, armed with the ability to speak Arabic, converted from Islam to Christianity, powerful Islamic propagandists suffered greatly.

Response On Kony

Alright guys, I've been doing some research and thinking more into this whole Kony 2012 thing.
Something seems extremely fishy to me that one video gets 70 million views in 5 days. Who is behind this?

I remember mentioning Sam Childers in my last post. He has been over in Sudan trying to fight this for 14+ years and gets no recognition. The movie, Machine Gun Preacher, is based off of Sam Childers and all he has been doing in Sudan. Yet, no one knows who he is or has even heard of the movie. Then all of a sudden, this Invisible Children video comes out and it spreads like wildfire.

I am wondering if the Obama Administration is going to use this as a political chip-- Kony claims to be a Christian, this is a way for Obama to say "there are radical Christians just like their are radical Muslims". Wrong.
Kony is funded by the President of Northern Sudan, who is involved in the Muslim Brotherhood.
In this response, Sam Childers discusses that the bigger problem is the Bashir. This Kony 2012 campaign is taking all of the focus off of Bashir and putting it on Kony. While Kony is a terrible and evil man who needs to be pulled out of Sudan, this approach will do more harm than good.

Make Kony Famous

Hope you all have seen this already and that it is nothing new.

If you don't know much about Joseph Kony, you can visit www.benbarrack.com or click on the link below. Contact him if you need to, he would be more than happy to inform you. He has been aware of this issue for a while now. Also, if you get the chance to rent and watch Machine Gun Preacher, do so. It will inform you of a lot.

Joseph Kony is the leader of the LRA, otherwise known as the Lord's Resistance Army. For 26 years, Kony has been abducting children, forcing them to kill their family and become his solders. I don't care what you have read, Joseph Kony is NOT Christian. Fact is, he is a radical Muslim and must be stopped.

Something New

Now that I have figured out that I can have multiple blogs, I have decided that I need to find one subject and focus on it. I've created a new blog that will explore all of my adventures during my year of wedding planning. I will share ideas, stories, everything I can think of.

I will still be using this blog, just probably not as much as this new one. I have just opened it yesterday! I had a lot of catching up to do so I think I have about 11 posts on it right now. I don't think that's a bad start.

I figured everyone has to deal with a wedding eventually, whether it is your wedding personally, or if you're helping a friend or family member through it. This is an exciting time for me, so why not share my excitement and learnings with you?

I really hope you will check it out. If you don't feel the need to know anything about weddings just yet, send it over to someone you think will benefit from it.

Thanks!!

Get Your Name Out There

I know I posted a while back a few ways to help get your blog noticed. Of course, there are those sites where you have to sit at the computer for hours, looking at a bunch of other people's things that don't matter to you. And for what? So they'll come to your site, feeling the same way? Why waste time bringing people to your blog that are just going to spend their required 30 seconds not even reading your page, then move onto something else?

I have recently discovered something that may be more helpful.
I am sure many of you have heard of a website called 'stumbleupon'. Obviously, it is a huge hit for all of us college kids who procrastinate when we have a 10 page paper do in "Conflict Analysis".
Anyway, back to my point. For those of you who do not know about StumbleUpon, it is a website where you can 'stumble upon' things that would be interesting to you over the web. You sign up for a FREE account, click on a list of things that you enjoy or would like to read about, then you get started. It takes you to all sorts of pages around the web that are specifically for your entertainment, based on your 'likes'.

Here's where you come in. Create an account and get your blog out there! There isn't any "look at my page for 30 seconds and I'll look at yours" bologna like that idiotic website I recommended to you months ago. People that have an interest in what you are writing about will be directed to your page and it's free. No waste of time, no wasted effort.

Hope this helps you!
