Do we Trust Polls?

Speaking as an American born citizen who is married to an American citizen who gained her citizenship through proper immigration - Not by amnesty nor a blanket granting, but by hard work and devotion to her "new" country - I feel I can speak to this... What polls? How was the question presented? Did the pollster ask - Are you for making illegal immigrant, those mostly of one ethnicity, citizens over night or pardoning these illegal immigrants immediately even if they do not want to be citizens?

Did they ask that question and do you really believe that most Americans would say yes? If you do, I have a nice piece of land in the swaps of Louisiana for sale or a grand deal on part of the Brooklyn bridge!

The President, one who I voted for and would still vote for given my 2004 choices, says we need to read the bill - Well I am not sure he did... Have you? By the way, I ain't the President on this one!

Amnesty? What amnesty? Critics substitute fear for facts - Yahoo! News

Although polls show that most Americans support giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship,

This is Really a Shame

It is a shame that a country founded has gotten to this level of ignorance regarding God... Of course, it doesn't same much that the media and academia believe religion, Christian, and God are all the same - They are not!

Blind Faith
Americans are also the most religiously ignorant people in the Western world. Fewer than half of us can identify Genesis as the first book of the Bible, and only one third know that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

Thompson in '08

Christian conservatives pledge support for '08 Thompson bid



I keep seeing articles like this - Mr. Thompson should, might, is going to....etc. He is probably the most favored and celebrated "possible" Republican candidate - But, will he or is he going to live up to the hype? I really have not given it much thought - I feel it is kind of like comparing the '70 Steelers to the 90' Cowboys, all speculation until he actually enters the race.



If he does will he be the one? Is he all he is said to be? Or, will he fail to live up the billing and ultimately hurt the "true" Republican conservatives and the whole Republican party as a whole?

What - Someone forgot the Memo!

Mother of fallen Marine copes with the haunting 'what ifs'

This article from a local paper talks of an "educated" caucasian who's family was lives in a "prominent" upper middle-class neighborhood. It talks of a "choice" during wartime... The story indicates that monies were available to send him to expensive schools. My point, it goes against the only poor kids with no choice are joining the military lie that the MSM spreads regularly, and my guess is the writer is in for some trouble - She didn't even get the parents to badmouth the President.

All kidding asside - I feel for this mother, especially on Mother's Day; However, I would like to say that she should have not but pride for son and I honor him in my thought and prayers... This country is indebted to you and your family!

It is Official

I guess it is official - I am old... I have officially been told I must have reading glasses, actually bifocals was the word; however, I avoided those for now by having corrective contacts for distance and readers for reading and computer! Age, you just cannot stop it.

A Reported is Wrong - Go Figure!

Got to love people that know what they are talking about?



Women with guns a growing phenomenon

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO - KIMBERLY SHRUM grips a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver and aims at a target 25 yards away.



Bang.



A hot shell casing hits the floor, joining hundreds of others littering the concrete at Jackson Arms Indoor Shooting Range in South San Francisco.


Revolvers don' t work that way Ms. Morente!!!



Hat tip:Michelle Malkin: Spot the error

I am Glad They Lost

I have to say - the longer this "new" congress goes on the more I am convinced the loss of the house and senate may have been a good thing. Republicans may even loose in 2008, again a good thing, if conservatives learn about and remove "these spineless ones"... Republicans the party for national security and the party that will stand up to terrorist; however, forget the idea of them ever standing up to the media or the democrats here on the home front... It is sadly comical to watch.



Republican Says Gonzales Should Be Fired

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Senate Republican is calling for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' dismissal as Democrats weigh subpoenaing President Bush's top aides in the escalating political furor over the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

Good To Come Back With!

Well I took a break, surprise. Honestly I got sick of the junk, never ending junk -- liberals complain I, a conservative, and others like me don't listen or refuse to listen to facts, yea right!

Have you ever noticed that when someone complains about a flaw in another's character, that flaw is magnified ten fold in themselves? Seriously think about it, when I have pointed this out to some they take a minute and say "You know your right", I know I am -- I learned it years ago from a mentor... Because I know this, when I become irritated I look at myself before speaking! Ever wonder where the saying "Physician heal thyself" came from?

Well I am back and will try to post regularly, but let me first say the claim that I and others like me refuse to listen....is bunk! Bunk stated by arrogant, elitist, who want the ability to determine what I say, think, and where I spend my money. Well, dream on sparky! My thoughts, desires for my family, and my belief choices will never be controlled by another human -- OK the wife might control some of my thoughts:-)...

What better time to return to posting then with a link of Brit Hume spelling out the idiocy of Martha -- a true Democrat hero! Watch it here! Some excerpts!

...this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.

Go Peyton!

I just found this interesting

UT's Fulmer, Cutcliffe head to Super Bowl as Peyton fans

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer was acting like a regular fan when he watched Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Fulmer recruited and coached the star quarterback and is now one of his biggest fans, like many Volunteer faithful who still follow Manning.
