Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

2010-09-16T06:21:00.000-07:00

I have been off this blog for too long and now I am back. To quote Michael Savage " Liberalism is a mental disorder." is so true. This was made evident the other day when the people of New York went to the polls & elected Charlie Rangel once again.

Mr. Rangel is being investigated for improperly using his congressional seat to solicit money for a college center named in his honor and failed to pay taxes on a Caribbean villa. If this were me, an ordinary middle class citizen, if would be sitting in jail right now. Wake up New York. How can you trust someone like this with your money? Where is the fiscal responsibility?

Healthcare Bill Passes

2010-03-22T06:08:00.000-07:00

This country has lost it's mind. I thought that the elected officials were to represent their constituents. It was proven this weekend when they passed this trash bill, called the Healthcare Bill. Let the lawsuits begin. Virginia is expected to file suit.

Not My Dog

2010-01-06T02:32:00.000-08:00

I just love this. This was an email that I received & just had to share.

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. She has her food prepared for her. She can eat whenever she wants, 24/7/365. Her meals are provided at no cost to her. She visits the Dr. once a year for her checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this she pays nothing, and nothing is required of her. She lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than she needs, but she is not required to do any upkeep. If she makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. She has her choice of luxurious places to sleep. She receives these accommodations absolutely free. She is living like a queen, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of her costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head, Holy S#!t, my dog is a democrat!

President To Address All Students

2009-09-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

As I listened to the radio this morning, I found out that a historical day will occur on Sept. 8, 2009. President Obama will address all students, Pre K-12, across this nation. He is the first American president to speak to students. Obama will address the importance of education.

Do you really think that any child in a Pre K program is really going to understand what he will be saying? I have a 3rd & 5th grader & I don't perceive them paying attention, even if we were Liberals.

I smell a indoctrination agenda here. Go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/academic/bts.html & see for your self. After you read the letter to principles, be sure to read the classroom activities planned in a PDF or MS Word file for the different age groups.

I plan on asking the school if they plan on carrying out this hideous agenda. If so then I am wrestling with the idea of taking them out early, or request that they do not participate.

I would love to hear what your thoughts are about this issue by leaving a comment.

Freedom Conference in the Making

2009-08-08T04:08:00.000-07:00

I received this email & wanted to spread the word. If you live in the Pittsburgh area, you may find this interesting.

Hey Everyone,
You've all been hearing about our plans for the G-20 Summit, and now the time has come for you to get involved! We are going to be hosting an organizational picnic up at North Park on Sunday, August 16 at 4:00 PM. We will be at Pearce Grove, located near the boat house. (It is #91 on the map, in section F-3.) There will be burgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks, and we encourage you to bring something to share if you can. Please bring your friends, your family, and your questions!

This will be an opportunity to learn more about why we are staging the Freedom Conference and the impact we hope to make. Our group is assembled with participants from the 9.12 Project, Campaign for Liberty, Pittsburgh Tea Party, Republican Assembly, and Veterans and Patriots United who are determined to show that the grassroots does make a difference.

We have created a Meetup site to keep you updated with the latest news at www.meetup.com/freedomconference.

For those not familiar with G-20, a simple description would be to imagine all the things that you fear are happening in this nation and then picture them happening on a global scale. Bigger bureaucracy, more taxation, less accountability, all in the name of the public good.
We won't let them get away with this without putting the truth out there to be heard.

This is why we need you to help us, whether it be by volunteering to help, or simply to attend the Conference and share what you learn with others.

We will have tickets available at the discounted rate of $25, which will include access to the group presentations as well as the main event. This is going to be a high-quality event, and we want your suggestions about how we can make it even better. We will share more about our speakers and our program on the 16th as we're still working to secure some highly regarded names.

We also plan on having a 50/50 raffle to raise money to help us pay for some of the initial costs involved with staging this event. Someone will win big, and everyone will win through their support.

We are doing everything we can to make sure this is successful, but we need your help in making this happen. Help us succeed, let others know about what is happening (http://www.freedomconference2009.com/) and keep doing what you are. For those who have been trying and working so hard to make sure the nation knows that what is happening is not acceptable, lend your voice to ours.

Thanks,

Freedom Conference 2009 Planning Committee

Obama Beer Summit

2009-08-01T05:33:00.000-07:00

What was the purpose of the “Beer Summit”? This past week the president met with the Cambridge police officer, Sgt. James Crowley & Henry Gates. I guess that he thought that he was going to smooth things over. What was accomplished? Nothing has been accomplished. The president should have kept his trap shut on this issue. The issue is between the Cambridge police department & Mr. Gates.

There are more important issues that President Obama should be focusing on such as terrorists attacking our country. What about foreign affairs? North Korea has launched test missiles. What about the riots in Iran. The riots are politically motivated. Just yesterday, three U.S. citizens disappeared in an area on the border between Iran and Iraq. And with Russia we are walking on egg shells.

Other issues that this country faces are unemployment & illegal immigrants. What is the game plan for these problems? There is no game plan because the president is too worried about this minor issue between the Cambridge police department & Mr. Gates. I’m not a big conspiracy theorist, but it seems like the president is using this matter to distract from the more important matters.

Why Read The Bill

2009-07-29T04:08:00.000-07:00

What did he just say? This is another duct tape moment. I am at a loss for words about this.

Obama's News Conference

2009-07-23T05:58:00.000-07:00

Obama held a news conference last night. I was hoping that someone would press for details about the health care bill that is currently in all the headlines. That obviously didn't happen because the questions were preplanned. No surprise. After listening for almost an hour of babble, I still have no idea what this man's plan is for health care. All I heard was that it will be better & that the wealthy will pay, not the middle class. You know that it is pretty bad when Bill O' Reilly states that he has no idea what Obama said.

I've been trying to put the puzzle pieces together by reading the bill. It just blows ones mind. The bill can be found at: http://thehill.com/ . Scroll down to the text of bill right under the Anatomy of the Deadline-Driven Debate. There are truely over a thousand pages. Can someone please tell me how Congress has read the entire bill & able to understand every part of this bill. It is only possible if you have super human powers. We must take action. Call your senators & give them a piece of your mind. Ask them to please explain this bill because the President failed to do it last night.

Obama Care

Take Action On the Health Reform Bill

2009-07-19T05:13:00.000-07:00

President Obama and the Congress are pushing for reforms that will move the US health care system closer to a nationalized system like that of Canada or Great Britain. If this is successful, you will have fewer health care choices and your access to care will be more limited. The government, not you and your doctor, will be responsible for determining whether you receive care. You will be “wait listed” for critical diagnostic tests. You may wait two or three years for surgery. You may not have access to life-saving cancer and other drugs. Yet, you will pay higher taxes.

You can help stop this government takeover of health care. Send a message by signing the petition at http://www.freeourhealthcarenow.com/.

H.B. 1913 A.K.A Hate Crime Law

2009-04-24T16:34:00.000-07:00

After researching the H.B. 1913 petition, I am deeply disturbed. The H.B. 1913 will soon be known as the Hate Crime Law. Congress makes this petition sound so sympathetic, however they have sugar coated it.

Did you know that once this new law is signed by President Obama that many innocent Americans will be affected. Take for instance the pastor of your church. He very well may be violating the law every Sunday morning at mass. How you may ask? During sermons, the pastor preaches the truth of the Bible. Others, like talk radio hosts Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity could be convicted for just voicing their opinion. This sounds like dovetailing with the Fairness Doctrine & violation to the right to free speech. Wasn’t the right to free speech written somewhere? Oh yes, The Bill of Rights, The First Amendment. Hmmm.

Our Founding Fathers must be turning over in their graves right about now. They fought so incredibly hard to make this such a great county. We are country with such a majestic & bold flag. What is this country turning into? There is a wonderful bumper sticker that says “These colors don’t run.” No, but it seems like they are changing like the hyper color shirts back in the 90’s.

This legislation is designed for only two purposes: to further the gay/transgender agenda and to silence anyone who opposes this radical agenda.

Who's Accountable?

2009-04-09T13:36:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday morning three police officers were shot & killed. This was marked as a very tragic day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Richard Poplawski, 23-year-old, killed three police officers, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away. He was a supremacist who frequented one of the most popular neo-Nazi websites and harbored great anger for the federal government. Hearing some of these details, the young man was very disturbed.

According to a criminal complaint, Poplawski's mother called police shortly after 7 a.m., saying she wanted her son out of the house "because he was giving her a hard time." She said she had awakened and confronted him after discovering that a dog had urinated on the floor, and the two had argued.

Police then responded to the house for a domestic call. The over all outcome, three police killed & two injured.

I raise these questions.

1. Why did the police not know that he had guns in the home?
Did the dispatcher not do her job or do the the dispatchers need additional training?

2. Why didn't the mother press the issue that her son had weapons in the home? She had to of known that he had the guns. I think that she is at fault.

3. Did the police have bullet proof jackets on?
Shouldn't they be trained to prepare for the worst? You never know what you are going to get into in domestic disturbances. People have obtained guns without having the guns legally registered.

4. Why didn't the mother get her son psychiatric help? It is obvious that that her son was disturbed.

5. Where is dad? Just because your son is grown, doesn't mean you stop being a parent.

In addition to Poplawski, do you think any one else is also accountable? I want to hear from you.

HR 1388-GIVE Act Passes in the House

2009-04-03T14:11:00.001-07:00

What is the HR 1388-GIVE Act? I have been doing some searching on this bill. It stands for Generations Invigorating Volunteerism & Education Act. In a nutshell, the “GIVE” act, would require the US government to develop a plan to implement a “mandatory service requirement for all able young people”.

Voluntary according to Webster means: proceeding from the will or from one's own choice or consent, having power of free choice, acting or done of one's own free will without valuable consideration or legal obligation.

When I was young I volunteered as a volunteer at a local hospital. Nobody made me do it. It was my choice. It gave my an opportunity to get a feel for the hospital environment. It was during this time I was deciding on Nursing as a career.

We live in a country that is free. We have the ability to make choices. If my kids want to volunteer, well then that is their choice. Who is the government to tell my children that they MUST do volunteer work.

Once again the America has taken another step towards socialism. Maybe even Communism? Does this not violate our Constitution? You decide. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1388

"The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing I’d do." -Barack Obama

Well it is looking to me that Obama will be pushing this through. I read an article that this will force Catholic Hospitals to close. By passing this FOCA will let any woman walk into the hospital, including a Catholic hospital, and request an abortion.

What if you are a physician who's morals & ethics do not believe in abortion? I guess by law, they would have to preform this form of murder. What I don't understand is that parent's do not have to have their child immunized for school (although, it is preferred). All a parent has to do is sign a form stating that it is against their morals & ethics to have their child immunized.

Did you know that the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide.

*FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
*FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
*FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.

We must stand strong on this issue & send Obama a strong message that this is wrong. . Go to http://www.fightfoca.com and sign the petition.

Common Sense 101

2009-02-22T12:56:00.000-08:00

President Obama is putting the finishing touches on an ambitious first budget. He wants to cut the federal deficit in half over the next four years. Mainly by raising taxes on businesses and the wealthy and by slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I wasn't an Economics major. But I do know that if you increase the taxes on the rich, it is going to affect the middle class in a negative way.

A wealthy business man spends money. He takes his wife out to dinner & a show. He travels all over the world on his private jet to meet with clients to keep his business alive. He celebrates holidays like birthdays & Christmas like many people. If he is going to pay more for taxes it is going to affect the middle class.

Here's how. He doesn't have the money because it has been taken from him. He will not fly on that private jet. Therefore, not needing a pilot=lost job.

The business man isn't meeting with clients because he he is no longer flying, decrease in clients leads to company layoffs.

No money to take the wife out to dinner & a show. No need for a car service, therefore the car service is loosing business along with the entertainers.

I can go on & on. Hopefully, you get there concept. I know you do because you probably a Conservative if you are reading this blog. It is the left wing nut cases that just don't get it. Are mission is to spread the info & educate them. Show them that the Anointed One that they chose has no clue what he is doing to Our Country. The Country that our Founding Fathers fought so hard for to make it a wonderful place to live.

2009-02-10T13:11:00.000-08:00

This is another duct tape moment. No I take that back, it's going to be a duct tape 4 YEARS!!!!!!!I just happen to be checking out Drudge & found out that the Stimulus Plan has passed. Are these people for REAL??????? I just don't get it.

Just three Republicans helped pass the plan on a 61-37 vote. Any idea who? Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.

How about this little bit of info. According to http://www.breitbart.com/, "Moments before the vote, the Congressional Budget Office issued a new estimate that put the cost at $838 billion, an increase from the $827 billion figure from last week." If this doesn't make you mad then I don't know what to say. That seems to be a VERY LARGE amount of money in my eyes.

Betsy McCaughey has an excellent article on Bloomberg.com about the Health Care Part of the Plan. Check out her article at: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/newspid=20601039&refer=columnist_mccaughey&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs).

I guess I will have to sit down with my children in the near future to explain to them why they are going to have to either work 2 jobs or work an extra 40 hours a week when they become adults.

My dear children, I am very sorry for the mess this society has left you. Sorry kids, let me clarify. That President Obama A.K.A The Messiah & the Democratic Party has left you.

Love,

My Stimulus Plan

2009-01-27T14:21:00.000-08:00

I'm going to do my part to stimulate the economy. I plan to purchase a large quantity of duct tape over the next four years. As you know duct tape is that fix it everything tape. I learned another use for it from Glenn Beck. If you are frequent listener to his radio show then you know what I'm talking about. If you are not then shame on you. Any how, Glenn recommends wrapping the tape around your head to prevent an explosion. This is referred to as a Duct Tape Moment.

This past week must be the most that I've needed that duct tape. Every time I turn on the television I hear the blah, blah, blah coming out of mouth of Obama & his cast of characters.

Let's start with the closing of Gitmo. He plans on closing it within a year with no specific plans in place. He couldn't answer a question from the media about the subject without consulting an attorney. Get ready Western PA, we will be getting new neighbors. John Murtha is probably coordinating a Welcome Committee to make our new terrorist neighbors feel welcomed.

How about Robert Gibbs, the Press Secretary. I'm not at all impressed with him. Like Obama, he also has to consult the attorney.

The issue of abortion has already surfaced over the weekend. Yahoo News reports.

"Vatican officials said Saturday they were disappointed by President Barack Obama's decision to end a ban on federal funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on them.

Monsignor Rino Fisichella, who heads the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life, urged Obama to listen to all voices in America without "the arrogance of those who, being in power, believe they can decide of life and death."
Fisichella said in an interview published Saturday in Corriere della Sera that "if this is one of President Obama's first acts, I have to say, in all due respect, that we're heading quickly toward disappointment."
Obama signed an executive order that ended the ban on Friday, reversing the policy of the Bush administration.
"This deals a harsh blow not only to us Catholics but to all the people across the world who fight against the slaughter of innocents that is carried out with the abortion," another top official with the Academy for Life, Monsignor Elio Sgreccia, told the ANSA news agency.
"Among the many good things that he could have done, Barack Obama instead chose the worst," he was quoted as saying Saturday.
Officials at the academy could not be reached Saturday."

To me this sounds like a back door approach to legalize abortion.

I hope you are now able to understand my Stimulus Plan & how I will stimulate the economy. This past week there have been so many of issues that Obama wants to "Change" that it just blows my mind. Get the duct tape.

My nerves are shot, I have no finger nails left and I sent my husband out to pick up a variety of liquid medication to calm our nerves & cope. Even the kids are nervous. They know their future depends on this day. The polls close in 1 hour in PA. Yes, the redneck, gun clinging, bible clinging state.

"Sarah Palin's sharp looks on the campaign trail come at a price: more than $150,000 on clothing and accessories from high-end department stores since the Alaska governor was the surprise pick by John McCain to be his running mate, records reveal. " Where do they want her to shop for a suit? Walmart? Then they would say she had no class.

"Financial disclosure statements documented by Politico.com show the retail outlay for Palin and her family since early September included a $75,062.63 expenditure at a Minneapolis Neiman Marcus and shopping trips to Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York that resulted in a combined tab of $49,425.74, all paid by the Republican National Committee."

Well, when you get a call from a presidential candidate asking you to be in Ohio in 6 hours, you don't have time to pack everything for a family of 7. Let's calculate. $150,000 divided by 50 states. That comes out to $3,000 an outfit per state. You can't get a designer suit or dress cheaper than $500. Maybe we should ask Michelle Obama. She knows all about designer dresses & suits. You also need a nice pair of shoes & hose to go with a dress. She can't have trailer trash toenails. She needs a pedicure. You just know that the media has been doing close ups on her open toe shoes. What about the undergarments? I don't think she is doing laundry on the road. Do you do laundry when on vacation? I don't.

"Hair and makeup accounted for another $4,716.49 billed to the RNC in September, with no such costs reported in August. (October expenditures will not be made public until after the Nov. 4 national election."

Okay, $4,716.49 divided by 30 days in September. Cost per day is $157.21. When you think about it that is not alot to have someone do your hair & make up when you are the road. You need a higher end of make up when you are under a microscope. Obama forbid, I mean, God fobid the mainstream media find her make up running. What a field day they would have.

I did some researching on Michelle Obama's wardrobe. Her favorite designer is Maria Pinto. Maria Pinto Collection is available at Saks Fifth Ave. Well when I searched their web site, I couldn't find her line. Can't find the price of one of her dresses. So I went to her website to check out her line of clothes. Interesting to find the prices not listed. Hmmmmm. I guess the Obama's don't want us knowing what they paid for their clothes. Hmmmmmmm.

UPDATE: as of 10 pm. Sarah was interviewed by Sean Hannity. He asked her about the wardrobe. She replied that the RNC provided the clothes. They are not her's to keep. Some are borrowed & others are being donated to charity.

Celebes That Lean Right.

2008-10-23T04:55:00.000-07:00

Why are the these celebs not speaking out to support McCain-Palin? The only ones I have heard speak are Chuck Norris, Elisabeth Hasselbeck & Ben Stein. Trace Atkins plays a role in the movie An American Carol ( still want to see if I can find a sitter). What about the rest? We need their influence. The celebs that support the left are very vocal. Maybe it is because the mainstream media leans left?

Obama's Wealth Redistribution Plan

2008-10-22T18:03:00.000-07:00

This was on a blog & sent to me in an e mail. I just had to pass this on. What a great way of explaining his plan. If someone still wants to vote for this person after reading this then you are just plain dumb.

Wealth Redistribution Plan:

The Simple Way In its simplest form of wealth redistribution, one might assume this analogy would simplify it down for the "Joe the Plumbers" who just don't get it.

In conversation from one guy to another: "Today on my way to lunch, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed."

"Once in the resaurant, my server had on an 'Obama '08' tie, and again I laughed as he had given away his political preference. Can you imagine the coincidence?" "Too funny!"

"When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistibute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy. Boy was he upset!" "I can imagine. I would be too."

"So, I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside. I told him I thought he could use it more than my server. He was pretty excited and thanked me."

"Dude, did you really do that?" "Yeah, you bet! So, at the end of my rather unscientific redistibution experiment, I realized that the homeless dude was grateful for the money he didn't earn, but the waiter guy was REALLY upset that I gave his money away that he earned. But I thought the homeless dude needed it way more than the waiter."

In the end, redistribution of wealth is great for some, but a joke to others.

I trust You in my times of trouble, Lord.
You will rescue me and I will give you glory.

Obama Election Night Party Likely In Grant Park

Reporting Jay Levine CHICAGO (CBS) ― It's not a done deal yet, but all indications are that campaign officials are leaning toward Hutchinson Field on the south end of Grant Park as the site of their election night party. The field is home to softball diamonds, the popular summer Lollapalooza music festival and was the site of the mass pope John Paul held in Chicago nearly 30 years ago. If Grant Park is chosen as the venue, it would not be the first big outdoor event for Obama. He announced his presidential run outside the old state capitol in Springfield on a very cold day last February and gave his nomination acceptance speech at Denver's Mile High Stadium. CBS 2 first reported last month that Grant Park was on Obama campaign officials' shortlist. They tentatively decided on it late last week. The negotiations with the city and park district have begun. Security arrangements are reportedly starting to take shape, and Mayor Richard M. Daley reportedly said it was a great idea. The record low for Nov. 4 in Chicago is 15 degrees. CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine asked Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce President Jerry Roper what he anticipated for the night. "Weather's never a problem Chicago. We know how to handle it," Roper said. "And there'll be a lot of warmth that night, if indeed it does take place in Grant Park." Roper added that the event would be a "huge economic boost for our city." "People have been following Barack Obama around the world, and the world will have their eyes on Chicago that evening," Roper said. "With the Pope's visit from 30 years ago, to Lollapalooza, this city knows how to handle big events. … We're prepared."

Jan Fonda, A.K.A Traitor

2008-10-07T15:13:00.000-07:00

I received this as an email and felt I had to pass this on.

Long after she's dead people will wonder how she did what she did and was never put on trial. Some thought being married to Tom Haydn was punishment enough. Many thought there was no such thing as enough, nor was there anything like justice around.
YES SHE WAS A TRAITOR..!!

In Memory of LT. C. Thomsen Wieland who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton. She really was a Traitor .

IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA

This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the '100 Women of the Century.'

BY BARBRA WALTERS
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the ' Hanoi Hilton.'

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane treatment' he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed and was dragged away.During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet which sent that officer berserk In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the 'Hanoi Hilton',,, the first three of which his family only knew he was 'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and get word to the world that they were alive and still survived.. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand..

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking eachman's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombedbabies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?'Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper.

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam , and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi . My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, SouthVietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border.At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals.'

When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as 'humane and lenient.'

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weights placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released.

I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of '100 Years of Great Women.' Lest we forget...' 100 Years of Great Women'should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer andshe needs to know that we will never forget.

Do you think the whole bailout deal was planned by the Democrats? Think about it. It is getting very close to the election. McCain & the Republicans were gaining momentum. The party became re-energized after picking Sarah Palin as his running mate.

The next time you have an encounter with a Liberal, here is some ammunition you can use.

I have provided the McCain-Palin Economic Recovery Plan thanks to the Pink Elephants.

September 24, 2008

McCain-Palin: Economic Recovery Plan
John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to fixing the Wall Street mess, reforming Washington, and most importantly, enacting a pro-growth agenda to create jobs for Americans and to get this country back on track.
· Unlike Barack Obama, John McCain has laid out his plan for reforming our financial markets. Barack Obama has put forth no plan for reforming our financial markets. Barack Obama will not even state a position on the biggest bailout so far - AIG.
· John McCain supports smart regulation. Our regulatory structures need to be updated to reflect the modern financial system.
· Two years ago, John McCain warned that the taxpayers would bear the cost of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac unless reforms were adopted. At the same time, Barack Obama was silent as he took campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie and took advice from their former CEOs.
The Economic Plan Under Negotiation:
· What we need in a plan for reform is accountability for Wall Street, accountability for government, and a commitment to protecting peoples' homes and life savings and restoring our financial markets.
· John McCain has outlined an economic recovery plan to get our economy back on track. His economic recovery plan will create millions of jobs and create opportunity in America.
· John McCain's tax policy will create family prosperity and allow Americans to save for the future. Under his plan, a married couple with two children will get over $6,000 in tax relief - more than under Barack Obama's plan.
· John McCain's economic recovery plan will create jobs here in America. Through lower business taxes, incentives for business investment, incentives for research and development and by opening markets, John McCain's plan will create millions of jobs in America instead of driving them overseas.
· Barack Obama's tax increases are exactly the wrong answer. His tax increases are the surest way to turn a recession into a depression and would only hurt those already hurting today.
· Barack Obama says he won't raise taxes but voted 94 times in the Senate for tax increases and against tax cuts.
· Barack Obama says he will only tax the rich, but he voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000.

Fair Interview

2008-09-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

I can't wait till Tuesday when Sarah Palin will gets a fair interview with Sean Hannity. Sean will ask fair questions. He will not cut her off. Charles Gibson should be ashamed of his interview with Gov. Palin. Was the interview slanted to the left? You bet it was. I feel that she did a great job responding to the questions.

Charles Krauthammer responded to the interview. This guy is great, even though he works for The Washington Post. Check it out at:

Appalled With MTV's VMA's?

2008-09-07T18:30:00.000-07:00

I was appalled with the VMA's tonight. It opened with some British guy. I guess his name is Russell Brand. Who is the joker that hosted MTV's VMA? I have never heard of him or seen him. His opening statement was to tell everyone to vote for Obama. He continued to rip on George Bush, the Republican Party & Sarah Palin. Typical liberal psycho. He transitioned from commenting on Bristol Palin being pregnant to the Jonas Brother making a commitment to being virgins. What a disgusting human being.

Hollywood has no class. Little Wayne & T Pain performed. One of them had their pants pulled down below his butt cheeks. I don't know which one was which. Nor do I care. He may as well have left his pants at home & just showed up in his underwear. And then their was Demi Moore, pushing 50, wearing her daughter's club apparel.

Maybe I'm getting old or has our society drastically changed? The problem with Hollywood is they have no faith or belief in God. It is such a joke to her Britney Spears thank God. Do you really think she means it?

I can't take it anymore, I have to change the channel. GOD BLESS AMERICA! We really need his blessings at a time like this.

Funnies

2008-09-07T14:05:00.001-07:00

The liberal's just don't know what to do about the pick of Sarah Palin. Go Sarah Go! I can't wait to see her debate Joe Biden in October.

The Palin's Are Being Punished

2008-09-01T12:47:00.000-07:00

Yes, they are being punished with a baby, according to Obama.

The McCain campaign confirmed toady that Bristol Palin is pregnant.

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins’ statement said.
“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said.

Like it never happened to a liberal. Leave the girl alone. At least she is not killing a living creature.

“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” Obama said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.” Sound familiar?

What about all the screw ups by the Kennedy's? What about Al Gore's son & his possessing marijuana ? Bristol is not the one running for office. She is a very lucky young women to have such a caring, loving & supportive family. Maybe that is what a lot of liberal lack.

Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

The Bitter Maureen Dowd

2008-09-01T09:33:00.001-07:00

I read an article today that Ms. Dowd wrote about the Governor of Alsaka, Sarah Palin. She tries to tear the Governor down by commenting she is "...an underqualified candidate in go-go boots."

She goes on stating that she has a thin resume & lacks on foreign policy. I found a website that has a side by side comparison of Sarah Palin to Obama & let me tell you this women's resume is pretty impressive. What people don't realize is that she is the a Governor that boarders two foreign countries, Canada & Russia.

"But that crazy maverick and gambler McCain does it, and conservatives and evangelicals rally around him in admiration of his refreshingly cynical choice of Sarah, an evangelical Protestant and anti-abortion crusader who became a hero when she decided to have her baby, who has Down syndrome...." I say cheers to Sarah & Todd for their decision not to abort. God has a plan for everyone & this loving family was blessed to a Child with Down's.

Ms. Dowd continues, with "Palinistas, as they are called, love Sarah's spunky, relentlessly quirky "Northern Exposure" story from being a Miss Alaska runner-up, and winning Miss Congeniality, to being mayor and hockey mom in Wasilla, a rural Alaskan town of 6,715, to being governor for two years to being the first woman ever to run on a national Republican ticket. (Why do men only pick women as running mates when they need a Hail Mary pass? It's a little insulting.)" Do I sense a bite of jealousy? What can I say the Governor has a personality. And what is wrong with being a hockey mom, or a soccer mom? It is part of the traditional American Family. But Ms. Dowd doesn't have a family.

"Sarah is a zealot, but she's a fun zealot. She has a beehive and sexy shoes, and the day she's named she goes shopping with McCain in Ohio for a cheerleader outfit for her daughter. " as Dowd continues to criticize. So what is wrong with buying her daughter a cheerleading outfit? She was helping to stimulate the economy in Ohio. And are you making fun of all the cheerleaders & their parents out there?

..." the two-year governor of an oversized igloo becomes commander in chief after the president-elect chokes on a pretzel on day one." Tell the people of Alasaka that they live in oversized igloos. I'm sure that they would really appreciate it.

She concludes her article with, "The movie ends with the former beauty queen shaking out her pinned-up hair, taking off her glasses, slipping on ruby red peep-toe platform heels that reveal a pink French-style pedicure, and facing down Vladimir Putin in an island in the Bering Strait. Putting away her breast pump, she points her rifle and informs him frostily that she has some expertise in Russia because it's close to Alaska. "Back off, Commie dude," she says. "I'm a much better shot than Cheney."

Then she takes off in her seaplane and lands on the White House lawn, near the new ice fishing hole and hockey rink. The "First Dude," as she calls the hunky Eskimo in the East Wing, waits on his snowmobile with the kids -- Track (named after high school track meets), Bristol (after Bristol Bay where they did commercial fishing), Willow (after a community in Alaska), Piper (just a cool name) and Trig (Norse for "strength").
"The PTA is great preparation for dealing with the KGB," President Palin murmurs to Todd, as they kiss in the final scene while she changes Trig's diaper. "Now that Georgia's safe, how 'bout I cook you up some caribou hot dogs and moose stew for dinner, babe?"

If this article doesn't make a hard working wife & mother mad, then I don't know what does.

For a side by side comparison go to:http://www.justsaynodeal.com/

To read the complete article by Ms. Dowd go to: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/opinion/31dowd.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

It looks like she's all glamed up in her picture.

McCain-Palin Rally

2008-08-31T19:35:00.001-07:00

I was excited to hear McCain's selection for VP. I think that Sarah Palin is has more experience than Obama. She is the All American women,wife,mother,sister,daughter ...... I think that she is what the Republican Party needed to re energize. I had the opportunity to see here on Saturday at a rally in the Pittsburgh Area.
