Jim Hoft notes that Iran threw itself a party celebrating 27 years of Mullah-cracy–and millions boycotted. Publius Pundit has more on the sit-out. Clark Mountain Musings has a FlashPoint greeting card for the mullahs, with special guest appearances by…

Glad you were able to have lunch with Mr. “Endangered Species.” While socially conservative isn’t on my list of “likes,” I feel you on the rest of the description (and I’m glad to hear it’s “endangered” and not “extinct” . It must have been refreshing and oh-so-nice.

La Shawn Barber blogged while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington D.C. this weekend. I…

I have a fresh podcast of our interview with La Shawn Barber from CPAC here. Her cell connection was a bit troublesome, but it was a fun interview. We’ll have La Shawn back on the show sometime soon!…

To a degree.

I’m doing my best to make sure my kids won’t have to take care of me, but I have also told the oldest what it means to be family, so, if I can’t, I expect she will pitch in how she can.

Wonder Woman and Right Girl (Gentlemen bloggers to be identified when I find my notes! Sorry.) update: Jeff Harrell and Tom Bridge The Conservative Political Action Conference is going on here in DC this week, and bloggers were out in…

Did you take a closer look at it? They have one of the worse terrorists and murderers portrayed on there and that would be the leader of Sudan if you scroll down…this man is responsible for the murder and slavery of Black Animists and Christians for the last 20 years there…..I believe his name is Bashir…..and now this monster has been leading the charge into Darfur for the last couple of years where he has been slaughtering Black Muslims even….

I’d be leery of any website or organization that would have this Islamic terrorists scoundral on their site!

I second that, although I do believe Christians have certain duties others don’t, especially if parents can’t take care of themselves for whatever reason.

In the early 1900’s there were “old folks homes” for the indigent or childless or aged with chronic problems. People then felt fortunate to avoid them and die at home in bed.

Today there is a large network of “retirement homes” that provide “assisted living” right down to the last breath. They are expensive and mostly quite well organized.

Then there are the “nursing homes” which run the gamut from mini hospitals to flea bag motels.

The point is that growing old is not for sissies and it isn’t cheap. If you plan to be the care-giver you had best be prepared for the hardships in both spirit and pocket.

I volunteer with medical assistance for many families who have the daily responsibilities of an aging relative. Bluntly said, most of these folks are trapped by the circumstances of income and would hire skilled help and/or placement if they were able.

The last place I would want to see an old person is in some type of state run institution. (Think warehouse.)

I have seen loving care given in the home. I have seen abusive care. I have seen the elderly tyrannize the household.

Part of putting together a good life plan is to have taken into account how you will receive help in your last years. It is your responsibility, not your child’s.

However, let me be quick to add the best thing is when Parents repent of the sins they have inflicted on their children, and children repent of the hatred they have towards them. Then there would be love and the old folks home wouldnt even be considered.

The last words in the Old Testament in Malachi are this:

“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” Malachi 4: 6
