Human Rights???
Since when did everything become a "human right"? Having health insurance is a human right, getting a college education is a human right, having a well paying job is a human right....I mean REALLY????? What happened to you have to work hard to get the things you want?? Lifes not fair...GROW UP and take responsibility for your own life! Why should kids be allowed to be on their parents insurance until they are 26 years old? Im sorry, but last I checked 18 was legal adult age! If you are old enough to vote, or go to war for your country, or decide you dont want to go to college because you are smart enough already, you are old enough to go out, get a job, and get your own insurance! If you cant afford it, sorry about your luck! Work your way up to where you can!!! If everyone is handed everything because it is a "human right" then what drives one to succeed?? If you dont want for anything, why work for anything? My generation, and even more the generation after me are so spoiled and self rightous they have been taught by their parents that the world/country/human race owes them something! WTH?? No one owes you anything! Blacks in this day and age have never been slaves. Get over it! Indians in this day and age didnt have their land stripped from them! Everones ancestors at some point had it rough...we are all spoiled and pampered now so why should a person who spends their life working their ass off to get what they want and to have the life they want, PAY for someone who has no desire to do anything for themself??

We are LOSING HER!
What is happening to her? Our beautiful America we have all grown up with is disappearing before our very eyes. This man that has been appointed our "Leader" is tearing her apart limb from limb. And although he would like to think he is the all powerful, he is not doing it alone. All the "liberals" and "progressives" are fueling the fire. They think they are pushing "freedom" and "choice" but what they are really doing is taking away everyone's right to think for themselves. They think that the government will take the money and "redistribute the wealth"....This country has always been one where people work HARD to gain wealth! If you work your entire life to get your little piece of the pie, and then the government comes and take it all and "redistributes" it to those who have refused to work for anything then where is the motivation to strive? I know life isn't fair, but in this country you could always make or break yourself...there is no such thing as luck, you have to work for what you have! This new generation of spoiled, self indulgent, self righteous brats that think they are entitled to have everything yet never work for anything. They are giving Obama every stepping stone he needs to STEAL their freedom and their liberty and they are LETTING HIM DO IT!! In fact they are HELPING him do it!
It makes my heart hurt to watch all of the small things he is doing that slip right under the radar and inch him closer and closer to his goal. Destroying this great country. We fought so hard against communism when it was blatant and apparent. Now, even though it is blatant and apparent to some, because they have been dumbing down our children in these liberal schools, they don't see it! They don't see the irreparable damage that is being done to our Republic! This man that is leading our country calls those who do not agree with him ENEMIES and people ignore it. He lets the Muslims who have attacked our country enter and leave without so much as a 2nd look because of their "religion" but anyone else has to be violated in the name of "security" to get on a plane! We do not follow Shari law in America! If you want to follow Shari law, stay in your own damn country!!! If you come to America, and want to get on a plane, you have to follow the same laws as everyone else!
I have 4 young boys. What their future will hold is such a scary thought for me. I am raising them to be responsible, ethical, and independent. Not to depend on anyone else for what they need but to earn it themselves! Just because my generation was raised by lazy parents who would rather give kids what they want than take the time to teach them how to earn it does not mean those kids should be handed everything by the gov't when they are adults! If they don't know how to earn it, then they can learn to do without it! If they are actually made to be uncomfortable for a period of time, maybe they will get off of their lazy butts and DO SOMETHING to help themselves! But our great mr president (yes I realize I did NOT capitalize that) makes them think they don't have to! They don't have to work for anything, they don't need to go to college and learn anything, they don't need to strive for greatness in anything because if they want to sit home and be lazy, that is A-OK because the gov't, and my children who will work their asses off, will pay to take care of them!!
I feel every day like I am in mourning for an America we have lost. An America my children will never get to know. And while some have no idea of the repercussions of what they are supporting, I know...I see what is coming and It scares the living hell out of me. But we cannot give up the fight. As America has proven by this most recent election, we are sick of obama and his drones stealing our freedom. I just pray every day that we can move things in the right direction and fix at least some of the damage that has already been done. And I pray every day that when the presidental election comes, the voice of this country is heard in spades as we vote that man OUT of office!!!!!

The joys of Pregnancy!
Ok, so everyone tells you pregnancy is so wonderful, its this amazing gift from God, and you feel so beautiful and alive, and its so amazing to feel your tiny baby moving inside you and there is no better feeling in the world...all this is totally true....at times....then there are times like the last trimester where you feel like your body has been taken over by aliens!!
Sleep has become practically impossible, and trying to turn over in bed...LOLOL!! YEAR RIGHT!!
Anything I eat causes such awful acid reflux that I am amazed I dont have a giant hole in my throat yet!
Not to mention these stupid contractions I keep having that give me a headache and make me even more worn out!
And dont forget that ever 10 minutes I have to waddle to the bathroom to pee cuz I feel like Im gonna wet myself cuz Lukas thinks hes found a trampoline!
Ever time I stand up I feel like hes gonna fall right out on the floor!
My hands are so swollen I cant even get the "temporary" wedding ring Gerome got me for my fat fingers on anymore!
My feet are so swollen I cant fit in any shoes but tennis shoes (untied) and flip flops!
Im tellin ya, its a good think my pregnancy with Trey wasn't like this or I may have never had Braiden or Lukas!
I really did't feel like I was done, told Gerome I wanted at least one more...he of course told me I was nuts!!!...but I really felt like I wasn't done...after this pregnancy, I may not be so heartbroken to never do this again!! I mean really!!

Article from the Wall Street Journal
Article from the Wall Street Journal Form by Eddie Sessions:
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of
make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because
at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good
looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim
name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his
facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do
you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father"
was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope"
followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who
think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a
"communist with a small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be
deemed controversial.. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature
to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having
Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S.. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was
either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game
plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital.
How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the
Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever
even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A
charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black
population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis
of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a
charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one
of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then
John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female
governor from the very distant state of Alaska .. It was a ticket that was
reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went
down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl
crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now
over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin,
was extraordinary.
Now, nearly a full year into his first term, all of those gilded years
leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left
to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the
wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the
briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible
realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy
America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam
initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe , having gained a
foothold in Spain ..
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour"
were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the
reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has
positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress
because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his
communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college
professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police
officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would
warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at
Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no
one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an
isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was
part of an al Qaeda plot..
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at
Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the
battlefield against America .. He could even instruct his Attorney General to
afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever
even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days
before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist
attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following
day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush
administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the
sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and
manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this
man has spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other
documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered
from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain
hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is
President of the United States of America ?"

Obama...the IDIOT!
I am so unbelievably frustrated and well heck I will say it, PISSED OFF!!! It is absolutely incomprehensable to me that anyone with a single brain cell left could ever be happy with Mr Obama as our president. How about Mr Obama stop blameing everyone else for the VERY SAD state our country is in and start owning up to his own idiocy! How about he look at the fact that since he took office, taxes have increased, unemployment has jumped to an all time high, people in this country are suffering and all this man can say is, its all their fault! COME ON!!!! Are you like 5 years old??? You think the american people are so STUPID that they cant see for themselves that YOU are the problem!!! No, the previous administration wasn't perfect, but at least they took responsibility!! I spend my life trying my damndist to make sure my children are raised to be responsible citizens, who accept responsibility for their actions and accept consequences for their mistakes! Why on Gods green earth is the president of our country not held to the same standard?????? He continuously lies, has secret meetings (even tho he said his admin would be the most open and up front ever) treats the american people as if we are the biggest idiots hes ever met, and yet some people still think the sun rises and sets out of his ass!?!? People talk about Sarah Palin...how is she so popular? She doesn't really know anything, shes just charismatic and people fall for it....WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK MADE OBAMA POPULAR??????? His qualifications? Oh wait, he had none...his experience...Oh wait, none of that either...His wonderful plan for america...oh darnit, didn't have that either!!!! WTH????? Really people???
There are 5 women in my department at work, 3 out of 5 of us have husbands who have recently been laid off...Also my sisters husband has been laid off...not good odds! But people still somehow are blind enough to think that Obama is doing as he promised??? How? Where? Cuz Im definately not seein it!!! I have filed my own taxes for the past 4 years, this is the first year I have gotten BEANS for a tax return, and it has taken twice as long to get that return!! But of course that cant have anything to do with our jackass moron president!!! Its all Bush's fault...even tho Bush hasn't been in office for TWO YEARS!!!! There has to come a point when this man stops blaming every one else and actually is made to take responsibility!! I mean really, at the very end of his GOD AWFUL 4 year term is he still gonna be preachin his bullshit that its still Bush's fault??? OF COURSE HE WILL!!! CUZ PEOPLE ARE BUYING HIS BULLSHIT!!!! I am going to spend the next 2 years PRAYING with everything I have that our next president actually has a brain, and uses it!!! Imagine that!!!! I would LOVE if Glenn Beck, or Sarah Palin were to run for president!! The Dems think oh thats just dumb, they have no chance...you wait...you wait until this man has been DESTROYING our economy and our military's authority, and our healthcare system for FOUR YEARS and see if the people aren't so ready to get him out they would put BARNEY FEIF in office to do it!!

Why Im a Republican
http://www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com/
Robert A. Hall
Massachusetts Senate, 1973-83
January, 2010
I am a Republican because I know a government’s first responsibility is to protect the lives, property and freedoms of its citizens. I support a strong national defense. I support victory in the war against the Islamic Jihadists who would use violence to impose their tyrannical political-religious life system on the world. Only through victory over this fascist-like abomination can we guarantee the freedom, lives and property of the millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and decent people of other faiths and beliefs who want only peace and prosperity.
I am a Republican because I believe that enemy prisoners of war should be treated according to the Geneva Convention, as POWs, and that those who do not wear a uniform and seek to sabotage and murder us should also be treated according to the Geneva Convention and the laws of war as illegal combatants, as FDR did with Nazis in WWII. Enemy POWs who are trying to destroy the constitution are not entitled to the protection of that constitution or to civilian trials as though they were American citizens, any more than the Nazi prisoners of WWII were entitled to lawyers and trials.
I am a Republican because I believe in American exceptionalism, and I know that America has far more to be proud of in what we’ve given the world, than to apologize for. America is the only superpower that has not tried to take other countries by force, asking only a bit of land to bury our dead, who fell freeing them from oppression. I know that when a disaster happens, the hopeful eyes of the victims turn not to the UN, or to Europe, but to America and our military.
I am a Republican because I know that at its best government creeps ever toward the statist tyranny of collectivism. I support limited government, and the checks and balances in our constitution, including the separation of powers between the branches of the federal government and between the federal government and the states. I am a Republican because I understand that government is necessary, but that limited government protects freedom—no person or party can be trusted with unlimited power. And I know that tyranny can win elections.
I am a Republican because I believe in the individual and in individual rights and responsibilities, and I oppose collectivism, statism and the desire of the nanny state bureaucrats to care for and control us from cradle to grave. I am a Republican because “equality of opportunity” is the great promise of our Republic, while chasing the chimera of “equality of outcomes” leads to repression and poverty for all.
I am a Republican because I know that free enterprise, free markets and free trade are the economic engines that have provided the best standards of living for the maximum number of people throughout history. Without property rights and economic freedom, there is no political freedom. All other systems have provided only poverty and repression.
I am a Republican because I support Freedom of Speech, even on University campuses, even if statists want to criminalize speech they dislike or disagree with as “hate speech.”
I am a Republican because I support Freedom of Religion and the constitutional prohibition against the establishment of a state religion, but I know this does not mean “freedom from religion,” nor that the government must suppress religious observances and convictions on behalf of those without faith.
I am a Republican because I support the Second Amendment, and the right of honest and decent people to own firearms not only for hunting and recreation, but to protect themselves and their families from the domestic terrorists and criminals in our midst.
I am a Republican because I know that it is the private sector that creates lasting prosperity and wealth. When the government puts money in the economy, it must first take money from the economy through taxes or borrowing, and thus puts less back than it takes, as the bureaucracy soaks up its share. The government doles out money on the basis of what is best for politically-connected groups, not what will best help the economy.
I am a Republican because I know that government is inherently inefficient and that it makes political rather than economic decisions. Therefore I oppose the government taking over anything that can be left to the private sector.
I am a Republican because I believe in openness and transparency in government. I know that members of my party have not always followed this principle, but they should, leaving the secret and corrupt backroom deals to those who are more experienced in making them.
I am a Republican because I care about the integrity of the electoral process, and believe that voter fraud and voter intimidation should be punished severely, because it strikes at the basis of all our freedoms.
I am a Republican because I believe in diversity in a political party’s leadership. Law is an honorable profession, but when a party is controlled entirely by lawyers—or any other profession—in its leadership, it is disastrous for the country. I believe a review of the lawsuit crisis in America, and what it does to the cost of healthcare, the economy and the faith of people in the system amply demonstrates this point.
I am a Republican because I believe in fiscal responsibility in government. I know Republicans have too often strayed from this principle, tempted to buy votes through earmarks and deficit spending for short-term political gain, but I believe our party must bear the responsibility for fiscal discipline even at the cost of electoral defeat at the hands of those seeking handouts. We have seen in 2009 exactly what happens when a political party with no fiscal discipline gains full control of government and begins to reward favored groups. The demand for largess always rapidly outstrips the supply of cash.
I am a Republican because I believe in integrity in public office. That Republicans have been guilty of misfeasance or malfeasance in office is undeniably true, and pains me. As Republicans, we should drive them out first and punish them more severely, just as a police officer should be held to a higher standard. But historically, Republicans have been the party of integrity and reform, and we must fight for honest government, even against party members.
I am a Republican because I know that low taxes stimulates the economy better than government spending, and because people who work hard and earn their money should be allowed to keep as much of it as possible. Doing so provides the incentive for improving people’s lives through innovation and for creating jobs.
I am a Republican because I believe that political decisions should be made by elected officials answerable to the people, at the lowest level of government possible to be responsible to the people, rather than by unelected federal bureaucrats answerable to no one but union bosses.
I am a Republican because I care about, support and try to practice tolerance and respect for people who are black, white, red, brown, yellow, old, young, male, female, gay, straight, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans and Global Warming Devotees, and I don't think they should be discriminated against, either by Jim Crow laws or Affirmative Action laws. I believe the law should judge us, and we should judge each other, as individuals. I don’t believe that elected officials should get a pass on integrity issues because they belong to a favored ethnic group. Just as we do not help the Republican Party by soft-pedaling or covering up corruption by Republicans, we do not help blacks and the cause of eradicating racism by soft-pedaling or covering up corruption because an elected official happens to be black. Doing so suggests that the powers that be expect such from black people, a terrible burden the Democrats have placed on that race.
I am a Republican because I believe in diversity of thought, and think that the rigid lack of intellectual diversity and group-think in our universities is a growing disaster for the country.
I am a Republican because I am proud of the history of the Republican Party in ending slavery, defending freedom, saving the Union and providing a majority of the legislative votes to pass women’s suffrage over the objections of “Progressive Democrat” Woodrow Wilson (look it up).
I am a Republican because the Republican Party better represents the philosophy of the nation’s founders, especially including Thomas Jefferson, and of Andrew Jackson, and of Abraham Lincoln, while the modern Democrat party increasingly has its intellectually roots in utopian European collectivism, not in American individualism.
I am a Republican because I know that being a Republican doesn’t require me to vote for every person who runs for office with an “R” next to the name, and especially not if that person does not demonstrate the necessary competence, integrity or commitment to basic principles to deserve to hold the office.
As a life-long Republican, I reject the concept that all Republicans must think alike on every issue to be good Republicans, like religious factions killing each other over smaller and smaller pieces of doctrine. Attempts to purge the party of the “impure” will eventually result in there being only one “pure” Republican, who won’t win any elections.
Despite the stereotypes pushed by Democrats and the media, I do not have inherited wealth, I’m certainly not in their class warfare, tax-target group of elite earners making over $250,000 a year (unfortunately). I’m not a banker, a Wall Street trader, a stock broker, a doctor, or a business executive. I’m not even a small business owner, a group Democrats speak well of but try to tax and regulate to extinction, even after the owner’s death. I’m been a Marine and a full time state senator. Since 1982, I’ve worked for non-profits. Through hard work, I make a comfortable living for my family. I think my retirement, if I’m forced to retire by age or health, will be financially tight. I’m just a middle class American who has tried, always, to be of service. And I’m a Republican.

Robert A. Hall
Massachusetts Senate, 1973-83
January, 2010
I am a Republican because I know a government’s first responsibility is to protect the lives, property and freedoms of its citizens. I support a strong national defense. I support victory in the war against the Islamic Jihadists who would use violence to impose their tyrannical political-religious life system on the world. Only through victory over this fascist-like abomination can we guarantee the freedom, lives and property of the millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and decent people of other faiths and beliefs who want only peace and prosperity.
I am a Republican because I believe that enemy prisoners of war should be treated according to the Geneva Convention, as POWs, and that those who do not wear a uniform and seek to sabotage and murder us should also be treated according to the Geneva Convention and the laws of war as illegal combatants, as FDR did with Nazis in WWII. Enemy POWs who are trying to destroy the constitution are not entitled to the protection of that constitution or to civilian trials as though they were American citizens, any more than the Nazi prisoners of WWII were entitled to lawyers and trials.
I am a Republican because I believe in American exceptionalism, and I know that America has far more to be proud of in what we’ve given the world, than to apologize for. America is the only superpower that has not tried to take other countries by force, asking only a bit of land to bury our dead, who fell freeing them from oppression. I know that when a disaster happens, the hopeful eyes of the victims turn not to the UN, or to Europe, but to America and our military.
I am a Republican because I know that at its best government creeps ever toward the statist tyranny of collectivism. I support limited government, and the checks and balances in our constitution, including the separation of powers between the branches of the federal government and between the federal government and the states. I am a Republican because I understand that government is necessary, but that limited government protects freedom—no person or party can be trusted with unlimited power. And I know that tyranny can win elections.
I am a Republican because I believe in the individual and in individual rights and responsibilities, and I oppose collectivism, statism and the desire of the nanny state bureaucrats to care for and control us from cradle to grave. I am a Republican because “equality of opportunity” is the great promise of our Republic, while chasing the chimera of “equality of outcomes” leads to repression and poverty for all.
I am a Republican because I know that free enterprise, free markets and free trade are the economic engines that have provided the best standards of living for the maximum number of people throughout history. Without property rights and economic freedom, there is no political freedom. All other systems have provided only poverty and repression.
I am a Republican because I support Freedom of Speech, even on University campuses, even if statists want to criminalize speech they dislike or disagree with as “hate speech.”
I am a Republican because I support Freedom of Religion and the constitutional prohibition against the establishment of a state religion, but I know this does not mean “freedom from religion,” nor that the government must suppress religious observances and convictions on behalf of those without faith.
I am a Republican because I support the Second Amendment, and the right of honest and decent people to own firearms not only for hunting and recreation, but to protect themselves and their families from the domestic terrorists and criminals in our midst.
I am a Republican because I know that it is the private sector that creates lasting prosperity and wealth. When the government puts money in the economy, it must first take money from the economy through taxes or borrowing, and thus puts less back than it takes, as the bureaucracy soaks up its share. The government doles out money on the basis of what is best for politically-connected groups, not what will best help the economy.
I am a Republican because I know that government is inherently inefficient and that it makes political rather than economic decisions. Therefore I oppose the government taking over anything that can be left to the private sector.
I am a Republican because I believe in openness and transparency in government. I know that members of my party have not always followed this principle, but they should, leaving the secret and corrupt backroom deals to those who are more experienced in making them.
I am a Republican because I care about the integrity of the electoral process, and believe that voter fraud and voter intimidation should be punished severely, because it strikes at the basis of all our freedoms.
I am a Republican because I believe in diversity in a political party’s leadership. Law is an honorable profession, but when a party is controlled entirely by lawyers—or any other profession—in its leadership, it is disastrous for the country. I believe a review of the lawsuit crisis in America, and what it does to the cost of healthcare, the economy and the faith of people in the system amply demonstrates this point.
I am a Republican because I believe in fiscal responsibility in government. I know Republicans have too often strayed from this principle, tempted to buy votes through earmarks and deficit spending for short-term political gain, but I believe our party must bear the responsibility for fiscal discipline even at the cost of electoral defeat at the hands of those seeking handouts. We have seen in 2009 exactly what happens when a political party with no fiscal discipline gains full control of government and begins to reward favored groups. The demand for largess always rapidly outstrips the supply of cash.
I am a Republican because I believe in integrity in public office. That Republicans have been guilty of misfeasance or malfeasance in office is undeniably true, and pains me. As Republicans, we should drive them out first and punish them more severely, just as a police officer should be held to a higher standard. But historically, Republicans have been the party of integrity and reform, and we must fight for honest government, even against party members.
I am a Republican because I know that low taxes stimulates the economy better than government spending, and because people who work hard and earn their money should be allowed to keep as much of it as possible. Doing so provides the incentive for improving people’s lives through innovation and for creating jobs.
I am a Republican because I believe that political decisions should be made by elected officials answerable to the people, at the lowest level of government possible to be responsible to the people, rather than by unelected federal bureaucrats answerable to no one but union bosses.
I am a Republican because I care about, support and try to practice tolerance and respect for people who are black, white, red, brown, yellow, old, young, male, female, gay, straight, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans and Global Warming Devotees, and I don't think they should be discriminated against, either by Jim Crow laws or Affirmative Action laws. I believe the law should judge us, and we should judge each other, as individuals. I don’t believe that elected officials should get a pass on integrity issues because they belong to a favored ethnic group. Just as we do not help the Republican Party by soft-pedaling or covering up corruption by Republicans, we do not help blacks and the cause of eradicating racism by soft-pedaling or covering up corruption because an elected official happens to be black. Doing so suggests that the powers that be expect such from black people, a terrible burden the Democrats have placed on that race.
I am a Republican because I believe in diversity of thought, and think that the rigid lack of intellectual diversity and group-think in our universities is a growing disaster for the country.
I am a Republican because I am proud of the history of the Republican Party in ending slavery, defending freedom, saving the Union and providing a majority of the legislative votes to pass women’s suffrage over the objections of “Progressive Democrat” Woodrow Wilson (look it up).
I am a Republican because the Republican Party better represents the philosophy of the nation’s founders, especially including Thomas Jefferson, and of Andrew Jackson, and of Abraham Lincoln, while the modern Democrat party increasingly has its intellectually roots in utopian European collectivism, not in American individualism.
I am a Republican because I know that being a Republican doesn’t require me to vote for every person who runs for office with an “R” next to the name, and especially not if that person does not demonstrate the necessary competence, integrity or commitment to basic principles to deserve to hold the office.

Democrats manipulating the system??? NO WAY!!
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX), a member of the House Ways & Means Committee and the top House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, issued the following statement after Senate Democrats this afternoon indicated they will likely use “reconciliation” as the means to move health care reform through Congress:
“This is a defining moment for President Obama and Congressional Democrats. These leaders can listen to the American public who is telling them this is not the health reform they want, or ignore them and find a back door way to force their huge plan through,” said Brady.
“Unfortunately, it appears Congressional Democrats are looking to manipulate the budget rules to get around the current 60-vote rule in the Senate. That tells me they are shutting the voices of voters out – just like they shut them out of the back room negotiations – and are determined to pass this national health care takeover by hook or by crook,” continued Brady. “Instead, they should take a step back, listen to the voters and sit down with Republicans to create a bill that lowers health care costs without the government interfering in our most intimate health care decisions.”

AMEN!!!!!
At a recent Church service in Virginia!
Good
morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to
see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get
into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if
you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we'll
begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse
27.
Brother
Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for
us?
....(reading)...
Thank
you for that fine reading, Brother Ray... So we see
that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the
people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal
with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain
harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that
he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh,
like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him
willingly in return for grain. And this went on until
their money ran out, and they were hungry again. So
when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought
their livestock—their cattle, their horses, their
sheep, and their donkey—to barter for grain,
and verse 17 says that only took them through the end
of that year.
But
the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the
people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing
left, except their land and their own lives.
"There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but
our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your
eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for
food, and we with our land will be servants to
Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their
land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's
government, and then sold themselves into slavery to
him, in return for grain. What can we learn from this,
brothers and sisters?
That
turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to
slavery?
Yes.
That
the only reason government wants to be our provider is
to also become our master?
Yes.
But
look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus
Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of
Goshen ... And they gained possessions in it, and were
fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for
His people, just as He always has! They didn't end
up giving all their possessions to government, no, it
says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a
great truth today, and an ominous one. We see the same
thing happening today - the government today wants to
"share the wealth "once again, to take it from us
and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take
control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of
education, and ration it back to us, and when
government rations it, then government decides who
gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go
along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind
up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand
years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves
to our leaders.
What
Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from
what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end
the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a
"Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A
savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made
them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it
please my lord, we will be servants to
Pharaoh"?
Well,
I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a
friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No,
brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from
the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.
Bow
with me in prayer, if you will.
Lord,
You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and
You alone. We confess that the government is not our
deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the
eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the
people of what a ruler would do, where it says
"And in that day you will cry out because of your
king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD
will not answer you in that day." And Lord, we
acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you
because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves
as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for
revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be
our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to
serve You, and protect Your
people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's
government. Amen

Obamascan called Obamacare
http://professoroflife101.blogspot.com/2010/01/obamascam-called-obamacare.html
"Think of it this way.. anything that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, and John Kerry want... I don't want."
"Think of it this way.. anything that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, and John Kerry want... I don't want."
What could possibly go wrong?
Let me get this straight......we're going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,
...passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it,
...to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes, with
...funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be
...overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,
and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

Wasn't prepared for this...
Ok, so I am 28 years old and the mother of 2 amazing little boys. I have done this pregnancy thing before, more than once! I thought I knew what to expect...but this pregnancy has been anything but what I expected! If my first pregnancy had been like this I doubt I would have had any more kids! I am completely worn out and tired all the time!! I have heartburn from hell 24/7. Braxton Hicks contractions creep up on me all the time and they actually hurt (they aren't suppose to)!! I am only 5 months along and already feeling so uncomfortable I cant hardly sleep at night! I cant get anything done around my house most days because by the time I get home from work Im so worn out all I can bring myself to do is lay on the couch! Four more months of this? Really?
Universal Voter Registration....
http://blog.couragetosee.com/?p=823
"Call to all Patriots; it’s time to start writing your Senators and Congresspersons to voice opposition against a Universal Voter registration. This legislation would involve the Federal government taking over from the state, the criteria used to register voters. Every individual from every list the state possesses would automatically be placed on the voter rolls. Now you may not think this problematic, yet the potential corruption in legislation like this could be MASSIVE. If you thought Acorn was bad, just wait as those unconcerned, apathetic voters who have never voted suddenly through ghost votes find a voice. Ghost votes that they never knew they cast, that were easily manipulated by corrupt forces in either party. Currently less than 40% of eligible voters vote in major elections, which leaves a potential for 60% voter fraud. Should this happen, wave our Republic .. good-bye."

Professor Wichman E-mail
Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.
Status: True.
The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indred Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association.
The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech'
============
Enter Professor Wichman.
========================================
==
In his e-mail, he said the following:
===============================
Dear Muslim Association,
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called 'whores' in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues..I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Muslims to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile 'protests.'
If you do not like the values of the West - see the 1st Amendment - you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option .
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially,
I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
=============================
As you can imagine,
the Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well.
They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and the university imposemandatory diversity training for faculty.
And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.
Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray .
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor
had the right to express his opinion...
==========
For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman,
saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks.
========================================
====================
Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same.
Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it.
We are in a war.
This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us.

Grow Up Obama!
"The Obama administration needs to grow up and face the fact that you can't always hide behind circumstances that are not in your control. You Own it"

How...what....are you kidding....no way....HUH????
In 1952 President Truman established one day
a year as a National Day of Prayer.
In 1988, President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each
year as the National Day of Prayer.
In June 2007, (then) Presidential candidate Barack Obama declared that the
USA was no longer a Christian nation.
This year President Obama, canceled the 21st annual National Day of Prayer
ceremony at the White House under the rouse of "not wanting to
offend anyone"
On September 25, 2009 from 4 am until 7 pm, a National Day of Prayer for the Muslim
religion was held on Capitol Hill, beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims that day in DC.
I Guess it doesn't matter if "Christians" are offended by this event -
we obviously don't count as "anyone" anymore.
The direction this country is headed should strike fear
in the heart of every Christian. Especially knowing that the
Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be
converted they should be annihilated

Most of us already guessed this but....
Its eye opening to see it written out in numbers...
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning last November's Presidential election:
* Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million
McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote,then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

The United States of Insanity
I have watched the bunch of buffoons on Capitol Hill spend taxpayer's money that the taxpayers haven't even earned yet, and money from taxpayers that haven't even been born yet.
I have seen the leader of the free world bowing and kowtowing to anybody with a title.
I have seen three Navy Seals who captured the murdering scumbag who shot, burned and hung the bodies of four American citizens off a bridge in Fallujah be indicted because the puss ball turned up with a bloody nose.
I have seen the entire military of this country castigated because a few foolish guards put a pair of panties over the head of some Islamic fanatics.
I have seen the global warming farce exposed for the gigantic farce that it is, and still the mainstream media and the gutless politicians and news media will not even acknowledge it for the bald-face lie that it is.
I have seen the Nobel Peace Prize cheapened for all times because it was awarded for nothing more than political correctness.
I have witnessed the whining of a weak and petulant president who acts as if he is not the president but a relief pitcher who can blame all his shortcomings on the guy pitching before he came in.
I have seen the government spend billions of our hard earned dollars on clunkers to enable people to buy Japanese automobiles.
I have lived to see a man elected president who hobnobbed with domestic terrorists, and for twenty years went to a church where an anti-white preacher spewed hatred toward America.
I have seen our nation murder fifty million future citizens in their mother's wombs in the name of "choice."
I have seen a president sit down and have a beer with a black college professor and a white policeman but cannot find the time to honor the troops of whom he is Commander In Chief.
What kind of country allows itself to go so deeply in debt that just the payment on the interest could well equal 75% of its GDP?
What kind of country thinks it can spend it's way out of a recession?
What kind of country is foolish enough to pursue the failed socialistic model of government knowing full well that it has never worked and will never work?
What kind of nation would set back and allow an overwhelmed president and a careless inept Congress tear away the very fabric of America's greatness.
What kind of president vacillates about sending needed troops in the middle of a war?
What kind of country has a president who just can't seem to stop campaigning and seize the reins of power, who keeps reminding us about what a mess he inherited, whose every attempt to fix the economy fails?
What kind of country allows it's elected officials to sign a bill they haven't even read into law.
What kind of country would use kindergarten terminology when describing cold-blooded Islamic murderers?
What kind of president would allow an arrogant Attorney General endanger the lives of everybody in New York City so he can have an anti-American show trial and drag the intelligence agencies, the military and a former administration through the mud of political correctness?
What kind of nation continues to buy our oil from countries that hate us, and use the dollars we pay them to finance terrorism around the world?
Welcome to the United States of Insanity.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, and for our country
God Bless America

Intersting article...a few tidbits from it...
"$15 billion individual mandate would force Americans to buy health insurance. In 2014, those without "qualifying," government-approved coverage would pay $495 or 0.5 percent of Adjusted Gross Income, whichever is higher. In 2016, that rises to 2 percent of AGI, or approximately $640 today."
"An additional $59.6 billion tax on health insurance companies also will make costly coverage costlier."
"Why are profligate Democrats so desperate to do so little so slowly for so few? "
