GEICO does the RIGHT thing.

Two weeks ago, which I wrote about on this blog, my truck was "stolen" from me from the idiots at the State of IL. Police Dept. If you read my article, I bought that truck from a private party and received a CLEAN TITLE from the State of IL. almost 4 years ago. I have been registering it every year with the State of IL. with no problems. Then out of the blue the State of IL. confiscates from me on April 7th, 2009.

At first, my insurance company, GEICO, did not feel that it should pay my comprehensive theft loss claim.

However, I am happy to report that they did indeed agree to pay my claim exactly 1 week after saying that they were not going to pay it.

Geico insurance did the right thing. I will keep them as an insurer for LIFE now.

I had many people praying for me and GOD INTERVENED with a MIRACLE.

Thank you JESUS!

This goes to show you that God indeed answers prayer. But you must know him as your Savior first. Jesus left Heaven to come to Earth as a man, to die on a Cross for the sin of the World. He then rose from the grave three days later and is ALIVE. Everyone needs him as their Savior. Believe in Jesus as your Savior and He will give you Eternal Life plus lead and guide and direct you while you are still on this Earth. He is God.

Praise God.

Also, God healed my father-in-law as well in record time. He was in the Hospital for a massive skin infection which left many open wounds on his body, keeping him in extreme pain. He went to the burn unit at Loyola Univ. Medical Center. He is now at home with ALL his wounds healed and in NO pain, getting stronger daily.

Praise God

As as side note to everyone out there who is fighting with their insurance company. Don't give up. Write numerous letters to the CEO, CFO, the media, and anyone else out there that may be able to help you.

On Tuesday April 7th a HORRIBLE injustice was done to me.

On Tuesday, April 7Th, while I was busy at my job, at 1:45pm my wife calls me and says, "Honey, the State Police are here and they want to confiscate our car. I said, "WHAAAHT!". The State Police then get on the phone and proceed to tell me that my car is a stolen vehicle. But I am in complete disbelief because I bought this car and received a CLEAN TITLE from the State of Illinois ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO.

That's right, I bought my 2003 Dodge Durango for cash back in Sept. 2005. I bought it from a private party for $11,000 cash. He gave me a title which I promptly signed and sent in along with my State Registration and $$ for the transfer of the Title to the Secretary of State of Illinois.

Here is the important part to remember. The State of Illinois sent me back a CLEAN TITLE with MY NAME ON IT. That's right, I received a CLEAN, ORIGINAL, TITLE from the STATE OF ILLINOIS almost 4 years ago. Plus, every year after, I have been sending in my $$ for yearly registration, with NO PROBLEMS.

Now the State just comes, UNANNOUNCED, ABRUPTLY, and basically STEALS MY CAR at GUNPOINT.

Needless to say, I am MAD AS HELL!

I asked the Police, "Who will reimburse me for the value of my car (which is worth about $7000 right now). He just coldly said, "You'll have to take that up with your insurance company and make a comprehensive theft claim." I did that and the next day (which is yesterday) the adjuster calls me back and it sounds "iffy" as to if they will compensate me.

Obviously if my insurance company (GEICO) does not reimburse me then I will have to get an Attorney and either sue GEICO or the STATE OF ILLINOIS.

I believe that the State of Illinois are the ones who are at fault here (other than the original thieves). Here is why. The State of Illinois are the ones who SENT ME A CLEAN CLEAR TITLE. They should have known that this car was stolen (if it really was stolen, which I am not fully convinced of yet). It is sort of like when you buy a House and get Title insurance and are issued a Clean Title if 3 yrs later someone says that they have a lien against the house the Title company must make that right and pay that lien off. I acted in legal terms as a "buyer in due course".
The State of Illinois should not have been issuing CLEAN TITLES when they were NOT Clean Titles. If the State will not pay, I still believe that GEICO should pay since the car was fully covered with comprehensive insurance, and I have been a faithful customer with NO claims for the last 7 yrs.

The bottom line is that the car was taken from me even though I did everything right.

I also found out that the State Police have picked up 300 other people's cars too. Sounds like we all need to find a good Attorney and file a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against the STATE OF ILLINOIS.

Also, the NBC today show was with the Police when this happened and later interviewed me at my house. I will use the media if I need to in order to get "righted". And anyone else who has had this happen to them should use every possible way they can to get compensated for the "theft" of the State of Illinois.

President Obama Makes Fun of Disabled People. Shame on Him

Last Thursday, President Obama went on the Jay Leno Show. Which in it of itself is very un-presidential in the first place. Especially in the midst of an economic crisis.

He proceeds to make a joke about his bowling game and how he now averages a score of 129. Jay Leno says, "Well that's not too bad". President Obama then, laughingly, says, "Maybe if I was trying out for the Special Olympics, Ha, Ha".

This is utterly shameful. This shows his utter contempt for disable people. This angers me.

Most of all this shows how Elitist and Arrogant President Obama really is.

Imagine if you were the parents of a newly born child and found out that your newly born infant had Down Syndrome. Imagine the feelings that you would be going through. Now, fortunately, there is a great support system for parents of Down Syndrome babies and other disabled kids.

But what if you were this parent again and you turned on Jay Leno and heard the President of the United States making jokes about disabled people.

Would that not utterly ANGER and DISGUST you?

Here we as parents teach our kids to be friends with kids that have disabilities, and we teach them that just because they have a disability doesn't mean that they can't be just as good in something as you are.

And you would think that our President, of all people would act as a good role model, NOT AS A BULLY.

I was listening to the Hugh Hewitt radio show Friday night and he mentioned this email sent in to him from a dad of a special needs child. I cut and paste it here so you can read it.

Hugh,

Thank you so much for your blog post about Obama's Special Olympics comment.

I'd like add to what you've said by pointing out that the President's insult runs much broader than against the set of citizens you've identified, the people with Down's Syndrome.

I'm the father of a beautiful, young, 12-year-old girl (quickly growing into a young lady) named Emily. She's smart -- an avid reader and books-on-tape listener -- and she's excelling in school. But Emily also has cerebral palsy, which affects practically all of her physical abilities. Her speech is affected as are her limbs. She relies completely on a motorized wheelchair to get around.

I might sound overly sensitive when I say this, but the President's Special Olympics comment is deeply insulting to anyone, I believe, who has any kind of significant disability. It reveals a coarse insensitivity to the plight of people with disabilities. His comment is every bit as demeaning as some of the most racist and sexist things that have been said in public in recent years by politicians and celebrities. While I've sensed in some commentators a rush to excuse his comments as unintended and inconsequential, and therefore hardly worthy of rebuke, I believe such an attitude reveals a double-standard in the way our society views and treats people who are disabled. Those in the public eye who have made racist and sexist comments of equivalent offense have been rightfully pilloried.

I have found myself to be angry -- not in my sometimes knee jerk,emotional way -- but in a deeply disappointed way. I can still hardly believe that an orator of his ability, one who ardently claims to defend the disenfranchised, could make such a blunder. I fear it reveals an attitude of arrogance and elitism that portends trouble for the way he will govern.

My only consolation is that perhaps the backlash to his comments will have a positive effect in raising the awareness of the subtle but troubling way some in our society treat people with disabilities. I Also hope that the President will make a sincere and full apology for his insensitive remarks.

To those who do not live close to the life of a person with disabilities, my remarks may seem overly dramatic. But living every day with the effects of a severe disability is a tough road. And it's very disappointing to have the President so flippantly poke fun at a group of people who deserve -- more than most -- a greater degree of compassion and respect.

Thanks, again.

That kinda says it all, don't ya think.

Pastor Shot in Cold Blood. Where's the Reporting?

Last Sunday morning, during the middle of the 8:30am service at First Baptist Church in Maryville, Illinois, an unknown assailant entered the church during the early service, walked down the aisle and began to fire his weapon at the pastor.

Rev. Fred Winters tried to shield himself from the bullets being sprayed at him with his bible, the only weapon he had. The pistol jammed on the man and parishioners subdued him. The gunman slashed two parishioners when they tried to subdue him.

The two parishioners were wounded as they tried to subdue the man. The suspect is currently in serious condition at St. Louis University hospital where he will undergo surgery for his wounds. Dr. Fred Winters was pronounced dead on arrival at Anderson hospital, after being shot three times.

A worship minister at the church, Mark Jones, says that they have no idea what the suspects motive was, nobody knew him. He simply walked into the church, exchanged a few words with the pastor and then shot him in the chest. Fred Winters was pastor of First Baptist Church for over 20 years, and is a former president of the Illinois Baptist Association.

Investigators have charged Terry J. Sedlacek, 27, with first-degree murder in the killing.
Sedlacek was further charged with two counts of aggravated battery related to the stabbing of parishioners Terry Bullard and Keith Melton. Their wounds were not life-threatening, said Illinois.

Now, here is what angers me. If this shooting was at a school or say it was a wife killed by her husband, the news would be NON-STOP, 24 HOUR coverage.

However, I believe that since this was an Evangelical Pastor who was the victim, that the media really DOES NOT CARE.

The mainstream media HATES EVANGELICALS. Make no mistake about this.

In fact, the media thinks Evangelicals are LESS THAN HUMAN. Therefore, they don't report more than they have to about this Pastor being shot and killed in cold blood.

Why? Because the media does not want the general public to feel sympathy for a "Right-wing Evangelical".

To the media, this Pastor being shot is no worse than a dog being shot and killed. In fact, the media would probably give more coverage to the dog being shot and killed.

This shooting does not fit their Liberal, ANTI-GOD agenda. So what do they do? They under report it.

This angers me. This burns me up. However, I know that there are spiritual forces of Satan that are hard at work to minimize the reporting of this shooting. Satan was at work in this killer and he is equally at work in the media's non-reporting or under reporting of this horrific killing.

Shame on the media.

So be vigilant, be on guard. Most especially at your place of worship. Watch for suspicious characters coming into your Church. I am an Usher at my Church, and from now on I will be watching everyone who comes in our Church. Especially watch for people that you do not know.

Maybe it is time for the Pastor to keep a Gun in his Pulpit for protection. I don't know. That is an individual thing.

But be watchful. Satanic forces are at work in this society.

Pray that Justices in California Uphold Prop. 8

The California Supreme Court, which last year declared the right of gays and lesbians to marry, appeared ready Thursday to uphold the voters' decision to overrule the court and restore the state's ban on same-sex marriage.

Let us Pray that they DO uphold the WILL OF THE VOTERS, and NOT THE GAY MAFIA.

"There have been initiatives that have taken away rights from minorities by majority vote" and have been upheld by the courts, said Chief Justice Ronald George. "Isn't that the system we have to live with?"

George wrote the majority opinion in the court's 4-3 ruling in May striking down California's ban on same-sex marriages - which voters, in turn, reversed in November by approving Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being only between a man and a woman.

Another member of last year's majority, Justice Joyce Kennard, said the challenge to Prop. 8 brought by advocates of same-sex marriage involved "a completely different issue" from the court's ruling that the marriage laws violated gays' and lesbians' rights to be treated equally and wed the partner of their choice.

"Here we are dealing with the power of the people, the inalienable right, to amend the Constitution," Kennard said. Speaking to a lawyer for same-sex couples, she said those who want to overturn the voters' decision "have the right to go to the people and present an initiative."

The initiative, sponsored by conservative religious groups, amended the state Constitution to declare that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." That was the language of a previous law that the court struck down last year as a violation of the state Constitution.

If the justices' questions were any indication, the court will allow Prop. 8 to ban same-sex marriages as of Nov. 5, the day after it passed with 52 percent of the vote. A ruling is due within 90 days.

Kenneth Starr, lawyer for Protect Marriage, the sponsor of the ballot measure, argued that Californians have a virtually unlimited power to amend their Constitution.

"Rights are in the power of the people," said Starr, law dean at Pepperdine University and formerly the special prosecutor in the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.

Let's Pray that Ken Starr wins and Prop. 8 REMAINS the Law.

I am SICK and TIRED of the GAY MAFIA FORCIBLY pushing their PERVERTED agenda on us all.

The people voted NO to Gay Marriage.

Let's Pray that the black robed justices uphold the will of the people.

Go Buy the Movie Fireproof

I just watched this movie last week. It is a fantastic movie. It was put out by the same Mega-Church that put out "Facing the Giants".

It is about Marriage. It made me laugh and cry and at the end smile.

Hollywood isn’t known for its portrayal of what love is supposed to be like – selfless, honest, and faithful. Often, films are wrought with adultery, abuse, and easy divorces. That’s what makes Fireproof, a new drama from the Kendrick brothers, so unique.

Alex and Stephen Kendrick, along with countless volunteers from Sherwood Baptist Church in Georgia, have done it again. Following Facing the Giants’ surprising box office success, the Kendrick team is using film to tackle a prominent cultural issue – marriages on the brink of divorce.

Capt. Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) knows how to manage a crisis. Everyday, he directs a team of brave firefighters as they answer calls for help. At the same time, he doesn’t realize the danger his own marriage is facing. In a desperate attempt to win back his wife Catherine (Erin Bethea), Caleb goes to his father for some veteran advice. Seeking a quick way to fix his marriage, Caleb slowly learns how to love.

As far as ministry tools go, this new movie is one of the best at showing what God intends for marriage. Singles and married couples alike will witness the reconciliation of two broken people and how God can heal even the most damaged of relationships.

At first, Caleb is ready to give up on his wife and move on. Their relationship has deteriorated over time and he isn’t too keen on working to save it. That’s when this story really begins to unfold.

You’ve got a husband who doesn’t feel validated at home and a wife who feels unappreciated and unloved. Sound familiar? It’s a simple storyline, but the plot starts to thicken as Caleb tries to recapture his wife’s heart. Through the wisdom of his father and a 40-day experiment called “The Love Dare,” Caleb begins to realize the meaning of love.

True love isn’t what’s best for me; it is seeking what’s best for you. To have a good marriage, you must first understand how to love someone and that comes from the source of unconditional love – God. That’s the point of this story.

One qualm with the story is the lack of response to Catherine’s actions. During the semi-separation phase of their marriage, she enjoys the affection and attention given to her by another man. Her willingness to commit this emotional affair isn’t adequately addressed in the movie. Although some would agree that her actions are wrong, this “adultery with the eyes” should have been dealt with better in the script.

All in all, this is a great movie. But I liked Facing the Giants a little better.

This is one movie critic who highly recommends everyone see Fireproof. Marrieds may learn valuable lessons from it, as all the singles out there will too. Also, kids will enjoy it and understand a little something about love and God’s part in our lives.

All the Actors (including Kirk Cameron) were VOLUNTEERS. This is why the movie only cost $500,000 to make.

Hollywood should take note: This movie only cost $500,000 and made over 6 million bucks on its first weekend last year. This Church (Sherwood Baptist in Albany, Ga.) which produced "Facing the Giants" made 10 million bucks on that movie, and that one only cost 100K to produce. Now, much of the profits go towards the movie theatres and such but the Church does get to keep a portion. So I just want to Thank God that this Church is making Great Family friendly movies, and making a nice profit to further God's work as well. These movies are much better than the Drab, depressing, violent, God-hating movies that Hollywood puts out on a regular basis.

Go buy or rent Fireproof today.

Aborted Live Baby thrown in Bag of Bleach then on Hot Roof

I heard this story last week but have not been able to blog about it until now. I am glad it got "some" press, but not nearly enough.

It is Shocking and Ghastly, so here it is.....

Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.

She concluded she didn't have the resources or maturity to raise a child, he said, and went to the Miramar Women's Center on July 17, 2006.

Sonograms indicated she was 23 weeks pregnant, according to the Department of Health. She met Renelique at a second clinic two days later.

Renelique gave Williams laminaria, a drug that dilates the cervix, and prescribed three other medications, according to the administrative complaint filed by the Health Department. She was told to go to yet another clinic, A Gyn Diagnostic Center in Hialeah, where the procedure would be performed the next day, on July 20, 2006.

Williams arrived in the morning and was given more medication.

Just before noon she began to feel ill. The clinic contacted Renelique. Two hours later, he still hadn't shown up. (He was probably out playing Golf)

Williams went into labor and delivered the baby.

She came face to face with a human being, and she instantly changed her mind about abortion.

What happened next was nothing but Crude and Ghastly.

Williams witnessed the live birth and suffering of her daughter as she struggled for life in pain, moving and breathing on the recliner. She witnessed Belkis Gonzalez (one of the clinic's owners with NO MEDICAL LICENSE) enter the room and knock the live baby from the recliner seat where she had given birth to the floor. She then witnessed the murder of her daughter by Belkis Gonzalez before her eyes, as Belkis Gonzalez picked up a large pair of orange shears and cut the umbilical cord connecting mother and daughter. Belkis Gonzalez did not clamp the baby’s umbilical cord allowing the baby to bleed out and also threw or by some accounts literally swept the breathing live child into a biohazard bag filled with Chlorine Bleach to suffocate and bleed to death.

“The baby writhed and gasped for air, still connected to Williams by the umbilical cord. Immobilized by shock, Williams watched Gonzalez run into the room, cut the umbilical cord with a pair of orange-handled shears, stuff the baby and afterbirth into a red biohazard bag and throw the bag into a garbage can,” the lawsuit explains.

Someone at the clinic, horrified at what had happened called police. Gonzalez threw the bag with the baby in it on top on the Hot Florida roof, so Police would not be able to find it.

Finally, six days later, Police were called again, by an inside source in the clinic , and the decomposing body was found in a cardboard box in a clinic closet. DNA confirmed it was the body of Williams’ daughter.

The county medical examiner confirmed the baby had been breathing after birth and before death but blamed the death on “extreme prematurity.”

"Extreme prematurity", YEAH RIGHT. This is MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

The Thomas More Society took an interest in the case when a local law school professor was quoted in the Miami Herald to the effect that if the baby wasn’t “viable,” then it “couldn't be a case of homicide.”

“That opinion is dead wrong,” said Brejcha. “A disabled or dying patient may not be ‘viable’ in the sense of being able to live very long or without help, but if you kill them, it’s murder. This was a case of infanticide, and we’re not going to let it go ignored or unpunished.”

A pathologist retained by the law firm established “the acts and omissions of the abortionist and clinic staff were causative factors in Shanice’s untimely death.” The lawsuit said the clinic staff members refused to call 911 for help nor did they “seek any medical or neonatal assistance of any kind.”

Further, the abortion businesses falsified records, the lawsuit contends, stating that Williams left shortly after noon, even though there were blood pressure and other medical readings in her records after that time.

Technically, the death has been “under investigation” by prosecutors for more than two years, without charges being filed.

This is what really irritates me, how is it that NO criminal charges have been brought after TWO WHOLE YEARS???

This case will trumpet to the world that abortion clinics are places of barbarism where mothers as well as their babies are at serious risk.

This is why I vote ONLY for Pro-Life candidates, to stop this barbarism.

Hopefully, justice will be done in this case and the Doctor will have his License revoked and have to pay Millions in fines. Hopefully, this Belkis Gonzalez will be thrown in jail for outright Murder.

I will leave you all with this quote:

Abortion is a demonic industry. Abortion is blood sacrifice of innocent blood to the devil. The clinics are like temples, the doctors are like priests, the medical table is like their altar. It’s a ritualized sacrifice. They have a dogma called choice, a hierarchy called Planned Parenthood, and guardian angels in the form of police guards that will arrest you if you try to stop them.
