Change is always resisted and sometimes that is good. But many have figured out that if you wait long enough and, so one seemingly small step at a time, at the end you find a major change. This has been a long standing policy for a lot of people and organizations. There is also a principle that Adolph Hitler used called the Big Lie.
So the Big Lie is you keep telling the most outrageous lie over and over. It soon becomes believed. It is kind of like politicians telling us that spending more money we don't have will save the economy.
So if you have strong Christian values and beliefs how does these beliefs get changed? Depends how you really are affected by them. If there were not factors that make people change beliefs and ideas there would not be so many denominations of Christianity or differing systems of religion.
The factors that change attitudes and beliefs are so varied that I cannot address them. I am sure that even if you tried all cannot be addressed. So I will just take one of them.
With the advent of a mandate by the US Government to religious organizations to go against basic beliefs and violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution. How did we get here? As a historian it goes back to the turn of the Twentieth Century. Changeing attitudes and standards fundamentaly changed peoples lives. Thru good reforms, like the Womens Right to Vote, subtle things started changing.
Fast forward to Roe Vs. Wade. Previous to this Supreme Court decision there were no legitimate abortions. A baby was considered a baby while in the womb. Although there were doctors and other practitioners that would provide the abortion some were as horrible for the woman as the baby it killed.
With the sexual revolution of the sixties there was an increase in abortions after Roe Vs. Wade because of the increased activity pre Aids and Pre media relaxing content of shows and music.
As the public and the media bought into the mentality of the right to terminate a pregnancy the next step came. Partial birth abortion. Deliver a baby far enough to expose the head and open it with an instrument and suck the brain out thus 'terminating' the pregnancy. This went to Congressional hearings and finally the abortion lobby admitted that this procedure was not a necesary thing. Even after admitting the lie there was no uproar in the media or congress. The only question was from the people who are abhored at the process. In todays world they don't count.
The latest step comes from 'Medical Ethicists' in Austrailia. The Monash University in Melbourne and the Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne have concluded that there are circumstances occuring after birth that would justify an abortion, (post Birth). In ordinary terms this is called infanticide or murder. They do prefer the term 'after birth abortion'.
Euthenasia and infanticide have been a non viable option under our law and constitution. This will last for a while until the steps are eased into such as the panels that will administer the new health care laws. Treatments of many things will not be allowed after a certain age under the new plan.
As the Humanists of the world ponder the curbing of worldwide population growth a little step will be taken here and there.
The media and many other groups have fought hard to delete the 2nd amendment. Now the First Amendment is being breached. The people who support this must realize that when one part goes and the entire thing is considred a "Negative" document, the next thing that will go is their (and our) right to free speech, the press, and more.
The law is already on the books now, under the Homeland Security Act, that if the Administration deems and declares a national emergency the right of Habeus Corpus is suspended. For those who were not taught what this means, the government has the right to arrest, hold in an undisclosed location, and question you without counsel, and all normal rights are suspended.
One step to another. One step that seems to have nothing to do with the other and yet where will we end up? It is interesting that the school children and teachers that were in a school building in the tornado ravaged area last week, were praying as the building was hit. Good thing there was no ACLU there to try and stop it. They all survived. Funny when there was no danger prayer is outlawed there.
It reminds me of a story: A dog followed it's young master all the way to school and went into the building and room. He was thrown out and as he set outside sad and rejected Jesus set down beside him. Patting the dog on the head Jesus said "don't feel bad little fella, they won't allow me in there either".

MIXED FEELINGS
Everybody has different influences, music wise, in their background. Those who know me are aware that I sing Western music and Cowboy Poetry. I am very proud of those in the genre' who cling to the family values and nostalgic qualities of it. But the diverse amount of music that I love and grew up with is as different as the stars in the heavens. Good music is good music. Putting everything in boundries and classifications is so limiting. I have so much in my background it would be hard to list. Lets just go from Jimmy Rodgers to the Diamond W Wranglers.
Inbetween would be Simon and Garfunkle, George Jones, Gene Autry, Willie Nelson, John Denver, and so many more. Yes and there is even some Beetles in the mix.
So why am I having mixed feelings? Well I am a little sad for the sudden death of Davy Jones. Yes from the Monkees. I was in grade school and Jr. High when they were in their hayday. I watched the goofy TV show, which I am sure drove the folks nuts. Though they were a fictitous band created for a TV show, they became real. Which is what our dreams and fantasies are all about.
The Monkees outsold the Beetles and the Rolling Stones combined. They just plain made good music and showed that music should be fun and not stuffed shirt. I know I worked my voice on Last Train To Clarksville, and I'm a Beliver when I was going thru the change to a Bass/Baritone.
So this is why I am having mixed feelings. I feel older and sad. I also feel younger and happy. Funny how it takes a sudden death to stop and make a person think about how they got to be the way they are.
If the credit is not given, and I only heard this from one commentator, The Monkees are more responsible for creating the Music Video than probably anyone. The musical numbers in the TV episodes layed out the formula for telling a musical story visually. It took performance beyond the live stage show to an amusing or poignant interpetation.
I am sure the seeds for Stan Hitchcock to create the CMT video network and the rise of MTV have a common, though maybe subtle, begining in a kids show Called The Monkees.
I also feel sadder for todays youth for the influences of music, or non music styles that glorify sex, violence, and destruction of themselves and society. Even though the music of the time had elments of these in them it was more a questioning and creative time. It was a time we will not see again since the entertaiment industry was bought by conglmerates and the artistic ability of true musicians have been relgated to independent genre's
I am sure there will be much said and I do not pretend to be the great influence on popular opinion. But today I am feeling older and younger.

TOWN HALL MEETING
You know as we get more and more frustrated with Washington and politicians in general, it seems kind of nice to go to a meeting with one and find a real person. Our Representative made a town hall visit recently. He is a first term congressman and is not an attorney, this is a plus in my books. He came from a farm, which is even better. He was even shorter than I thought.
I enjoyed his honesty when the first statement he made was "this country is bankrupt". Everyone that balances a checkbook and earns a living already knows this. He quoted our Treasury Secretary as saying, "we don't have to pay off our nations debt". This from a man who could not pay his own income tax.
I have never understood the mentality of people who see things going wrong and still stay with the, 'party line,' that everything is great. This is why it was so refreshing to have a represenative tell it as it is. And he blames both parties for many of the problems in Washington, which is right!
It is a fact that the Senate has not passed a budget in over 1000 days, and the only thing being passed by the senate are spending measures, and the buck. I do not know how the opinions and ideas of the citizens who attended will make a difference, when he goes back to Washington, but we do know that they have been noted and the Congressman and his staff know how we feel here.
One battle that my congressman faces everyday in Washington is the number of actual rural people there are so small that many members of committees, and the congress as a whole, thinks food comes from the grocery store. They are also constantly lobbied by organizations who try to regulate, control, and even ban agriculture for reasons only they really know, or will confess.
Lets hope that other areas of the country will send real level headed people to congress and get rid of the career politician that is destroying our way of life. Think it is not being destroyed? Just set down and listen to the information witheld from the people who are supposed to oversee it.
By the way, my congressman set on a committee hearing where the number five man from China told the Congress that if they did not start changing, and paying out debt, that they are afraid we will default. The trouble with this was the Chinese Rep. was right. Think we are wasting resources now? Wait until all the resources are sent overseas to pay our debts.
One more piece of good news, the Pipeline that the administration stopped would carry the same amount of oil to us that we purchase from Saudi Arabia each day. Too bad that Canadian oil will now go to China.
Lets see now, China enemy, Saudia Arabia enemy, Canada friend. How does this work out?

REALITY AND ENTERTAINMENT
There is so much dictated to the listener of radio and entertainment that sometimes it is hard to really listen to what you deep down love and what you are told is what you love. This is a problem myself and a lot of people have with the corporate world of music run out of Nashville, New York, and LA. A business that was bought and paid for by the Japanese and Dutch years ago. That is why so many top acts seem to sound alike, there is a formula that is followed. Radio for the most part is also owned by corporate giants who work hand in hand with the 'suits'.
This Saturday night I had a real delema on music that I love and the lack of ability to be in more than spot. I really love and respect both George Strait and Martina McBride. They came to Wichita where they entertained 13,000 fans. At the same time the Wichita Bluegrass Festival was going on in another part of town. I wanted to be at both places, but!
I have a tremendous love and respect for my friends the Diamond W Wranglers. They debuted their 12th CD, OUTLAWS AND LOVERS, at the Old Cowtown Museum's Visitor Center. With a capacity of 150 there were people setting on the window ledges. I had to be there!
The Diamond W Wranglers are tops in the Western Music field, which is often ignored by mainstream radio. The talent and craft of this latest album brings out a unique combination of songs that have been recorded in many genre', as well as their own originals, that shows how many 'cowboy songs' are disguised as other types in many fields.
Outlaws and Lovers still pays tribute to the roots of western, but puts a great spin on other great songs proving that good music is good music. And the originals songs prove how talented and versitile the Wranglers really are. Jim Farrell, who owns his own recording studio, has sweated blood to make this a truly great album. You will start hearing the songs palyed on BOB FM in Wichita and I am sure you will soon hear them on KLLS FM in Wichita also.
I believe that this CD is going to bridge the gap of Western into mainstream music and the stations that ignore them will be playing catch up! Let your station know you want to hear the Wranglers.
Instead of waiting for the radio to catch up I would Google Diamond W Wranglers and get your own copy. I would have loved to been with Martina and George and a lot of my neighbors that night, Martina is our hometown hero, but there will be times ahead. Wish I could talk her into recording a Western album.
So there are real people out there that will delight you with their songs and talent. There was so much in Wichita this weekend that you could not take advantage. But it shows you that there is so much more than the radio gives you you should check out the 'real world' of music.

WHY I LOVE RURAL
I ventured over to our neighboring town of Sharon Kansas on Saturday night to get a hamburger at the BULL PEN. Two things to note here. The Bull Pen is a new little tavern in a town of around 200. Because of the spirit of this small struggling rural town there are only a handful of businesses. The COOP, Liquor store, a repair shop, a small grocery that is struggling to stay open with volunteer help (great sausage made once a week). And the Bull Pen.
The other thing of note is that Sharon is the home town of Martina McBride. You can imagine the pride of the residents of not only the town but the whole county and state.
When I stepped into the Bull Pen the place was busy as can be. In an old 1800's former grocery building. There is a great tin ceiling that is original and never meesed up. Wood floors and an old double door on the front that has a tendency to swing wide open and let the winter wind in if it is not caught quick.
I prefer places like this to visit over any uptown offering in the big cities. I sat at a table with people I did not know because there was the only space left. No problem, we visited like we knew each other for years. Then the GYP HILLS BAND started playing. Just two songs in and guess who came on the big screen TV with the Grand Ole Opry on. You guessed it Martina! The band took a break the TV was turned up to hear the home town star and everyone loved it. I thought only in small town rural America would this happen.
You know there are great little places all over rural America just like the Bull Pen. We have The Lumber Yard, Buster's, and the Vintage house all in easy drive of this county of 4500 people. Each place with great food, people, and atmosphere.
Maybe you can find one of these little places not far from your home and instead of giving money to an out of state conglomerate, have a good meal and help keep a little atmosphere alive.
Here in Kansas we have The Kansas Sampler Foundation that helps locate these places and keeps rural America alive. Why don't you find a guide book for your area? Besides you can use the fresh air, get to see some great country, and support some great people.
I hear there is a great hamburger at Mo's in Beaver,KS I heard of another place in Macksville. Guess it is time for a little road trip.

FEBRUARY
Well Winter finally raised its head and it is White outside. It came just as lovely and perfect as can be. We are not used to snow without wind. It lays on the wheat and pastures giving a nice shot of nitrogen as well as moisture. Now we have been lucky with a relatively mild winter. But Kansas can turn on you in an instant.
Now lucky for us February is such a short month and we can get a glimpse of spring ahead. Of course this means tornado season is on us. It is funny how people who have not been in Kansas have this notion that we all get blown away by tornados. Greensburg probably brings this outlook the most. It is a fact of life that we have spectacular storms and there are tornados. I have had California people ask me how we can stand it here with all the tornados? Then I tell them "80% of Kansans will never see a tornado in their life, but how can you stand California because you shake, burn, and slide and that effects everyone there"?
I recently attended, and was on the planning committee of, the BIG RURAL BRAINSTORM. I was with 200 people from all over the state trying to think outside the box about how to go back home with new ideas that can be put into practice right away. Things that make living in rural and small town Kansas better. And there were a lot of ideas. Many towns or areas had specific problems and were looking for inovative solutions.
The host organization was the KANSAS SAMPLER FOUNDATION. Director Marci Penner and assistant Wendee LaPlant did a bang up job of creating and running this first time event. We do not even know all the good that is happening as result of this. Time will see if we hit our target. The conections made and resources discovered are going to make a great difference in Kansas.
The KANSAS SAMPLER FOUNDATION is unique to Kansas. Not another state has a group like this. They have a festival every year that spends two years in the same town then rotates to another part of the state. It is a showcase for everything Kansas. It has all the tourist attractions, regional interests, entertainers, Kansas made products, and the group known as the KANSAS TRAVELERS. There are members of the Travelers that make an effort to see everything about Kansas, take day trips, help small shops and cafes, many go on quests. One member is starting a quest to eat a Sampler Standard handmade Chicken Fried Steak in every county in the state.
If you are outside of Kansas you should consider looking at starting a Sampler foundation for your state. It is unbelievable all the things that the Foundation has done over the years to make rural and small town life better.
Well here is looking for spring. Hope Global Warming kicks in pretty soon.

GROWING WORRIES
I am sickened by the presidential process of constant attack, envy, jelousy, fraud, and outright lies. This applies across the board. The Tea Party arose and dumped many who were taking this country in a direction that, frankly, scares the hell out of people. Since there is effective challenges to the establishment there is great worry and hatred focused on them.
I recently read a story of the plot to take over the White House in the thirties and install a Facist government. I am sure you never heard of it. An uncle of mine who was a US Senator at the time was on the Congressional committee that held hearings on it.
Due to the passionate patriotism of a Marine General, who they targeted to lead it, put an end to the plot. Many of the heads of the largest companies and financiers in the world were behind it. It reached clear into the cabinet level of the Whitehouse.
At the time there was a great deal of support for the rise of Facism in Italy, France, and Spain. And unbelievably, a lot of support for Adolf Hitler's take over of the German Government. Many of our brightest thinkers, scientists, and social reformers supported Eugenetics. The thought processes that lead directly to the Holacaust.
Do we learn from History? Do we evaluate the writen record that is before us with an impartial eye? Not very well.
Those who do are worried that this country can survive. How do we point out that all the steps that in the past lead to countrywide and worldwide disaster? When it is done the messenger is treated with hatred, anger, and contempt.
Does it bother anyone that the media measures everything in the presidential process by money? Romney has spent 4 times Gingrich, Obama has near 1 Billion in his re-election process, other candidates though they may be better, cannot spend enough?
What happened to integrity? What happened to clear ideas and solutions? Who is destroying the American dream? How do you allow those who do nothing to be supported by those who have a work ethic? How do you say God Bless America when he is thrown out? How do you rationalize the thought of Shira law so we can be tolerent? How can you ignore a family to kill three daughters and two others for "family honor"?
I begrudge no one who wants to come to this country to breath free air and grasp for the American Dream. But do you not understand the word 'illegal'?
So why should I not be worried?
