WELCOME TO THE INTERNET CRUSADER

WELCOME . . .

Hello and Welcome to the inaugural blog post of THE INTERNET CRUSADER. Is that a great Domain name or what?

My name is Mario Romualdo and yes I have been posting my views and opinions on the Internet for some years now under a pseudonym. For those readers that don't know big words, a pseudonym means a "pen name."

Yes, I realize that most of you know of my sarcasm (as obviously expressed above) and sometimes dry humor or how I can keep a straight face, and you also know that I am fair, honest, and quite the straight shooter. I will try hard to present my views and opinions as best as I can, and will at times even type very slowly so that everyone can understand what I am speaking about.

Now, am I correct in my views and opinions? I hope so. Am I wrong from time to time? Sure. BUT I try to learn from my errors and a tend to keep my views open to correction which is one of the reasons I have done this in the past. I'm not here to change your mind, but to get you to look at another view on a subject, and right up front I'm letting everyone know that I use absurdity to illustrate the absurd.

Now, some quick points about the blog for those wishing to grasp what is going on here. A blog, or web log is defined as "a web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer." 

THE I-CRUSADER

The Internet Crusader is a part of the GODSPACT Network. GODSPACT is an acronym for the General Organization Dedicated to Securing and Preserving America's Christian Traditions. Using that name, I have been active in contacting political and legislative representatives and attempting to influence their decisions by either supporting or opposing legislation. That being said, what better way is there to define what my personal mission is than to take on the moniker of THE INTERNET CRUSADER?

First, let's define a few things. What is a "crusade"" A crusade is "to take part in a major effort to change something — usually for or against" what is trying to be achieved. A "crusader" is a person who is actively engaged in the activities of a crusade, which is has now taken the form of this blog as an additional resource.

Now, what is it exactly that I am crusading "for, or against?" Two things specifically, and both are considered "hot button" topics that we are told we should refrain from talking about. POLITICS and RELIGION. It's not the topic that I seek to address but areas where I think they are heading in the wrong direction.

Both are usually the cause of great discourse because we all have our own personal beliefs and opinions about them and arguments are usually intense. That is human nature but the mission I have developed for myself is to present my personal views and opinions about the political and religious issues of the day.

What do I hope to accomplish. Well, foremost, I hope to impart my knowledge to the reader so they can either agree with what I have to say, or at the least give it an honest hearing. If you change your mind because of something I have shared, great. If not, well I won't be losing sleep.

THIS POST

This post basically introduces myself and the bolg to the Internet world. I decided that perhaps it would be better to introduce myself and my goals to the reader first. You can't have people read something and wonder "Who is this guy?" Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I will post a Christmas message to all of you. I will be back on Monday, and start hacking away at the issues of the day involving Politics and Religion, so remember to visit us then.

POSTING SCHEDULE

I hope to post daily, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays but if necessary on Saturdays and Sundays) or at the very least several times per week. Unlike many bloggers, I haven't given up my day job or my volunteer work and substitute it with this, nor is this a money maker for me. I do this because I am watching the events of the day in both Politics and Religion and being a person who has been given the gift of understanding right and wrong on a higher level (Yes, that sounds self serving and self promoting, but you can say it if it's true).

THANK YOU

Lest I forget, I need to give those who have followed my blogs and other activities in the past a very heart felt thank you. I appreciate you reading my thoughts, opinions, musings, and nuttiness. Yes, I do have both a serious and a silly side. One shows my age, wisdom, experience and so on and the other shows how old I really feel. If you ever lose you fun side, then your youth or joy of life is most likely dead as well.

I was recently accused by a reader on the Huffington Post of being "Gods' divine messenger to us all" which I took as an insult, for I am not a prophet. I do not speak for God as his direct representative to mankind. That is not my job. What I do is present what I believe God conveyed to us. For me to add to the Word of God would be blasphemy, and thereby subject to the curse in Revelation 22: ¹⁸ I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. ¹⁹ And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll."

ABOUT MY OPINIONS

Please keep in mind that my views and opinions are just that, and that you should take it with a grain of salt. We are all given talents. Some use them well, and others don't use them at all. I seek honest dialogue, and will use this forum to try to get to the real truth, and not some made up conclusion.
