Said this would be Comical

Earlier I stated I didn't expect anything to "come of this" but it would be comical... Well I believe it is comical and entertaining to watch. By the way, wasn't the election of "the one" suppose to ease "racism", after all a "black man" was elected president - well if anything the last 10 months has proven "his" election has only escalated the "claims of racism"!

Back to comical and entertaining - Do you believe Gibbs has any idea how what he meant by his comment here...I am sure he was given the line and hasn't a clue why or what...

Harry Reid is no Trent Lott, White House says
Gibbs added, “I understand what people have to say on TV or to get themselves on TV. I would suggest they spend about 20 seconds reading a little history and figuring out that to draw that analogy strains any intellectual enterprise or any real reality in all this.”

...because if we were to look at history one would know democrats fought civil rights, Robert Byrd was a "card carrying" member of the KKK, etc. - But Gibbs really didn't mean for you to actually look at history, he doesn't know what he meant.

COMICAL!

Doubtful but Comical

I doubt anything will come of this, but I find it comical... Just because I can imagine what would happen if Reid was a republican, Trent Lott comes to mind - Of course, I thought Trent Lott was an idiot for his remarks.

Cornyn, Steele Call on Reid to Resign as Senate Leader After Obama 'Negro' Comment
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has joined Republican National Committee Chairman Michale Steele in calling on Harry Reid to resign his Senate majority leadership role after news broke over the weekend that Reid described then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008 "light-skinned" with "no Negro dialect" unless he wants one.


Review FEAR as 2009 Departs and 2010 Arrives

Realizing 2010 was about to be here, I remember how I believed “I would be old” when thinking of 2000 while in school. That led me to remember the Y2K [bogus] bug. Remembering the Y2K, I remembered the Ozone hole, which caused me to remember the “new” ice age…

Then I remembered how Japan was “going to own America”, much like we hear China “will own America” now.
Does anyone else see a common theme here? “Keep the citizens in fear”, seems to be the goal of the media, the government, or both.

Having some (a little) experience with trying to control “masses”, I can say installing fear and worries is a goal to “control”. Do you believe I am just “blowing smoke”?

Well let’s look back – post WWII
  • Fear of the ‘A’ bomb – Bomb shelters, “duck and cover”, etc.
  • McCarthyism
  • Cold War
  • Temperatures cooling and entering a new ice age
  • Oil Shortage
  • Japan would “buy and destroy” America
  • Going to “cook” due to a hole in the Ozone
  • AIDS
  • Animal Fat
  • Domestic Terrorism
  • Global Warming
  • International Terrorism
  • Trans fats
  • China will “buy and destroy” America

Hmm, that is just a few – Am I blowing smoke?

Wasn't this Suppose to Stop?

Interesting read, but I thought everyone was going to instantly love the US once Obama was elected - I suppose this to is Bushes fault. Although, after September 2001, while in office over two months less time, Bush took charge and dealt with it without blaming the previous administration.... Will Obama? Be on the look out for some "organized" meeting.

Attempted bombing spotlights al Qaeda growth in Yemen
Civil war and lawlessness have turned the Arab world's poorest state into an attractive alternative base for al Qaeda, which U.S. officials say has been largely pushed out of Afghanistan and is under growing military pressure from the Pakistani army in bordering tribal areas.


Merry Christmas (Remember)

May everyone's Christmas be as good as a puppy's loves and as happy a child opening the exact present they wanted. Our prayer is that everyone remembers the "reason for the season", the greatest gift ever given (a Father's Son), and where the custom of giving and receiving at Christmas was started.

God gave us his Son knowing that our sin and us would kill him, he did this out of love.

The Son came to this world knowing that our sin and us would kill him, he did this out of love.

Upon the arrival of God's Son, gifts were brought to him out of honor and love for who He was and why He was here.

When we give and accept gifts let us remember this - Know that you are loved, because He came to this world to give His life for everyone and that includes YOU!

Merry Christmas!

I am Confused....

I am confused...Ft Hood attack "linked to cleric", who may have been killed? "Linked to cleric", well it sounds like a terrorist attack, smells like a terrorist plot, but the MSM, the democrats, and our president say no. Hows that "hope and change" working for you? Me, you can take it and...............

Financial Reform: Dodd's Even Bigger Government Solution to Financial Risk
The proposal, being circulated at the moment as a "discussion draft," includes big government solutions to virtually every problem that it seeks to address, including in many cases even more government intervention and new government agencies than the House legislation.


Don't want to Wait till January

This is good news for those of us you have these devices, but I don't want to wait till January - I love the device, but Palm where is the love for those of us who rose early one Saturday in June to be "on board" with your adventure?

The 'Hoax' is 'Warming Up' - Will it Burn Down?

Will the release of these emails wake up the public before they loose more of their rights to choose not to mention the money being stolen base due to this hoax with "cap and trade"? I can guarantee you the "main stream media" will defend their blunder to the last breath or until the public forces them to actually "tell the truth"

Facing Scandal, Head of Climate Research Lab to Temporarily Step Down
Matt Dempsey, spokesman for Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., thinks more is still to come from the scandal coming to be known as Climate-gate. “It certainly shows that there’s more to the investigation and there’s more to come, and we’re only at the beginning stages of learning about Climate-gate," he told FoxNews.com.

Do you believe there will be any "real investigation" with Pelosi and Reid...I think not!

Happy Thanksgiving!



Like in previous years I wanted to post the Thanksgiving proclamation.

WHEREAS, It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor;

WHEREAS, Both the houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted' for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have show kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Sitting at Work - WHY?

I am sitting at work, filling in for a supervisor who is off, and wondering why I am here...

We had to travel 452 miles round trip to attend a training session, which I did without complaint - Because it is my JOB.

Now I am here for a "midnight shift", because it is my JOB.

My job - I was raised to take MY JOB serious and a responsibility not taken lightly. "Work at it and you WILL succeed."

However, my future looks bleak - It appears the goal of my country is to take more and more of what I earn at MY JOB and give it to those who don't WORK, and a growing majority of those choose not to... Why does my government want this?

Because I am a male, a white male, because I chose to work, or simply to get votes and stay in power.

I believe it is because they want to stay in power caring not that they are creating a country full of pride-less, lazy, and selfish citizens... The irony here is THOSE IN GOVERNMENT will have me and you believe that I am selfish for working, taking MY JOB serious, and wanting the keep more of what I reap then they steal from me to give to those who choose not to WORK.

Well I have to get back to MY JOB because it is MY JOB, but I leave you with a question, WHY?

Putting the Country on Trial

As the left celebrates the "trial" of confessed killers and murders we are going to see the US on trail - You don't believe it; how do you think a defense attorney is going to defend a confessed killer who requested to be executed - HMM?

9/11 Trial Poses Unparalleled Legal Obstacles - NYTimes.com
In fact, one question will be how a judge will prevent a trial from turning into a forum on the American war on terrorism


What is The Point?

While enjoying my double beef burrito (w/ sugar in drink) I watched not one, not two, but three women order 5 tacos with extra meat and cheese each...WITH diet cokes - What's the point in diet drinks?

The point, I really think these women thought they were doing some small thing that would be considered "good" by others...Just like an idiot who thinks 2 more miles per gallon should make them feel good about saving the planet. SAD!
