An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the Traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling though all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
for the traitor appears not a traitor, he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. he rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unkown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. a murderer is less to fear. - Marcus Tullius Cicero - Roman orator statesman 42 B.C
Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again. - Will and Ariel Durant
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C.S. Lewis
That is the first sentence from Thomas Paine's "The Crisis" which he wrote during the darkest days of the revolutionary war. We are in the calm between the storm. The looming signs of wars, depressions and socialitle collapse are but a taste of what we will face in this new age. Many do not understand how different we as a society are in relation to all human history. We are charting into new territory in disregarding the differences in male/female natures, forgetting our own history, our constitution and becoming too dependent on the state. Once people embrace the doctrine of "getting something for free for doing nothing", which is what socialism is, they ultimately will lose all their freedoms. Once you take money from someone and give it to someone else no matter how well intentioned, it always losses' value through the taxing of it and then even so, will only hinder that persons drive to succeed. While many people celebrate our new president, they will likely suffer the most; because while they will believe Barrack Obama will bring them happiness (through government freebies)--what they are really doing is becoming slaves to the state, while the rest of us prepare and prevent such a scenario.
Like I said in January, I won't be blogging that much anymore. Since my last blog I have -
Subscribed to Pragertopia (Dennis Prager's last thirty days of his radio show podcasting). Dennis Prager recently started an online video series, which you can view here -
Prager University: The American ...
Bought Dennis Prager's highly regarded "Men's Sexual Nature" CD's. It cost me $80 for them and call tell you their worth every penny... Even though I am already a guy, this was pretty enlightening. -

Allison Armstrong has also been a great help understanding both sexes. Here is some videos and audio of her -

My dad got an AR-15 (Assault Rifle like M-16) for his birthday. It cost around $1200 and is a lot of fun.
I got rid of a lot of my games and have decided to slowly stop playing. I'm not sure if I will eventually quit but for now it's alright if I don't play during the week. I also would like to eventually stop watching much TV. I have become more interested with something meaningful; such as reading.
I have been working for Little Caesars, for three months now (part time).
As many of you know, the TV show "24" is my favorite show. While I think it was still better than other shows on TV, it was diffidently my least favorite season yet. OMG if Jeneen Garafadumbo, is on next year, I'm going to be pissed. I hate that witch; and she's a horrible actress for the part of FBI!
I have started attending Brown Mackie College and will be going for my associate's degree in Criminal Justice. I will be going full time and I complete 1 ****every month for 2 years to get my first degree.
My current belief in religion is that I view myself as Judeo-Christian. Which I see as believing in Jesus as the Messiah but also find the Jewish laws very good as well.
I have read and bought quite a few books since my blog in January. However, one that has really affected me is "Mao: The Unknown Story". Once you read this biography of Mao, you won't believe how truly evil he and Communism were and are. It goes over his whole life and talks a lot about Stalin as well as a lot of other big commies. It is a very easy read, considering it is around 600 pages. However, it is an extremely important, interesting, and is a must read for all (although it gets a bit graphic, so it's not a children's book.).
Well that's all for now.
I got tagged by Dantheman, so here is ten things about myself that you might notknow -
1. I almost died when I was little. I was around 2 years old and my mom was outside working in the yard, when the house started to catch on fire from the stove. So my mom rushed in and got me out and the fire burned the house down. We even have a picture of us in the local paper when it happened.
2. I play softball with my dad and his company's team. We are in the medium range of teams and play once a week each season. Are team name is the Tornado Pigs... one of the guy kids on our team, drew a picture of a pig in a tornado-which we have on our uniforms and our slogan is "we'll beat you like a hat wearing pig".
3. I was in the Boy Scouts for around a year and made it to the 2nd rank before quitting, but I didn't enter until I was 14 so I was rather old for just starting out.
4. I was in a singing group called sunshine generation when I was five years old and won awards for singing with two other girls as my backup in a jam-packed auditorium.
5. I love reading and Harry Potter is my favorite book series and have read each book at least 5 times.
6. I was homeschooled all my life but I did go to school for 1 day and hated it; so I just taught myself.
7. My favorite band is Green Day and has been since I was 9 years old and my sister and friend were playing them full blast in their room constantly.
8. Ever since I can remember I have had a very strong urge to learn about goodness and about how I could expand my knowledge on every subject related to it. I even write down the things I have learned in life in which I want to remember about values, religion, morals and whatever. I also like learning about evil and the people who commit; though it isn't quite as interesting as goodness.
9. I am a night owl. I can't stand going to bed. It's like my last hours on earth and I have to do something good in some micro or macro way before I go to sleep.
10. I have never committed any crime or smoke, use drugs or drank alcohol (although I have had a few sips of wine on New Year's Eve).
Im tagging Rynn21.
Well uh uh uh uh Congratulations fellow GS'ers we have change in store for our country in most likely every aspect of our lives. I am sure we can expect great pearls of wisdom from our next president including but not limited to topics like (and yes that is from a Rush Limbaugh parody) -
"I believe that the things that need to be done are the things that haven't been done for far too long" or who can forget "In the face of change I believe in hope, in the face of hope I believe in change" "Let us leave the past behind us as we go forward into the future firmly anchored to what came before" "Let us set aside the things that divide us and come together united indivisible as one people. Together we can make something out of nothing... YES WE CAN!
LOL... just thought I would share some thoughts on our new *cough* communist president of the United States. The Lord Barrack Obama or the Messiah in some circles is going to truly help everyone in this country from oppressions like living in poverty while those greedy rich people take all their money--to global warming... Yes, The Lord Barrack Obama, thee most merciful, will help change us into a better nation. 
Anyway, as I put as my title, it is a time for change. Unfortunately as you know it's been almost two months since my last blog and since then I suppose a few things have changed. For one, I got a tempory job being a UPS driver helper during December but that didn't last long since I was let off immediately after the 25th. My family also got a nice 40 caliber pistol (Smith & Wesson) at a gun show a couple weeks ago. Since then, I have mostly been reading books and playing Fallout 3; which I'd say was almost as great as Oblivion was as a RPG. Now, I am back to looking for a job, which has been even harder process now, because I don't have access to as much money anymore, my Xbox Live subscription ran out and I feel like nothing is going right.
I also bought a 1 year subscription to Rush Limbaugh 24/7 and his newsletter. I am a big talk radio fan and getting to listen to the doctor of democracy whenever I want is pretty cool; plus, I gave the login and password to my family and they can listen to him whenever they want also.
One last thing that I want to mention is the main point I guess of this blog... which is, I am not going to blog much anymore. I have distanced myself from games, TV, movies and Gamespot in the last few weeks and I have really enjoyed it. I never thought I would get bored of playing games but lately I have been more interested in reading more. The good thing about living in scary times in my opinion is the way you see all the brighter sides of life much easier.
