It has been quite a while since I have posted on my blog....most anyone who knows me, knows my feelings about the proposed mosque at Ground Zero...if you don't, the following post from Susan says everything anyone would need to know about this mosque and why it is such a bad idea, on so many levels. Please take a few minutes to read this imaginary discussion between Susan and John Lennon.

LaddersandAlcohol: What Would John Think?

So You Want To Work For Obama

2008-11-14T08:04:00.004-05:00

You have always wanted to work for a president huh, well just fill out a little application, answer a few questions (63 to be exact) and you are all set. Some of the questions are listed bellow;

What did you write in your personal diary last night, before you stuck it under your pillow
Every resume that you have ever written in the last 10 years
Every email, text, IM that you have ever sent that might be a conflict of interest. ( I guess those chain emails I have received and forwarded would disqualify me, damn it!!!!)
Please list any and all affiliates you have associated with and the nature of the relationship, including religious, charity, employment, private club, or any tax expempt organization from the last 10 years. (Hmm, if I was friends with Ayers, Rezko, Khalidi, Odinga, would that disqualify me)
Have you ever received monies or are you or your spouse affiliated with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Washington Mutual, or any other company receiving bailout money. (If I received $120,000 from Fannie Mae, does that count?)
Do you own a gun?

Well I guess I will have to pass on this golden opportunity to work for The One, OH DAMN!!!!!!

The Audacity of Hypocrisy in this application is comical. The man that lied and covered up his past so nicely, with the aid of the Main Stream Media, now wants to know every detail of your public and personal life before he will even consider you for employment, give me a fricken break. Obama wouldn't even be able to work for his own administration if he had to fill out that application, NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!!!

Here is a link to the full questionnaire for your enjoyment: Obama Application

Obama can't keep quite

2008-11-11T21:39:00.006-05:00

It is a little scary that the man who will be our next president has a hard time keeping a private conversation, private. After President Bush so graciously invited him and his family to the White House to get acquainted with their new home, Obama ran out like a little school girl to blab about contents of the private discussion he and the President had in the Oval Office.

So far during his campaign and first week as the President elect, he has openly discussed attacking Pakistan, mandating enrollment into his civil military by all middle school, high school, and college students (he has since reworded the program on his website), spreading the wealth, and as stated, leaked information to his main stream minions, a private conversation between himand the President. For a highly educated person, he lacks common sense at best, and is a down right idiot at worse.

WTF

2008-11-10T19:46:00.004-05:00

What the F**K is with the podium sign, "Office of the President Elect"? Is it just me, or is this a tad bit over the top? While there is actually an office of the president elect, I have never seen a sign on a podium before. I don't recall a website dedicated specifically to this office before "the One" was elected, do you?

With all the hoopla surrounding this monumental election of "the One", there is actually a movement starting to attempt to declare a national holiday for Barack Obama. The man hasn't done a thing in his entire career to warrant a day specifically to him, other than to lie, cheat, and buy an election, yet there is a group of citizens in Topeka, Kansas that think he has earned a day in his honor. Come on people, seriously, a national holiday? Gee if he deserves a holiday, who else should get one....how about Clinton, he got the first newsworthy blow job in the oval office, what about Ted Kennedy, he successfully avoided jail time on numerous occasions, including his involvement of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, maybe we could have a national holiday for Barney Frank and his fellow cohorts to celebrate the downfall of the housing market. The list could go on and is not limited to the Democratic party.

I acknowledge that it is great that American can elect a man of color to the highest office of the land, but the reality is that color should not matter when determining the qualifications of the the candidate. If you were to remove Obama's color, he would have lost the election based on his stance on so many issues. Many sane people, would not have voted for him, had they been able to look beyond the historical event and listened to the content of his platform. Most Americans would never support Wealth Redistribution, Government funded Abortions, Human Embryo cloning, Civilian Military, Taxed National 401K funds, Gun Bans, and so many more far left ideals.

Like his song says; "Obama's gonna change the world"

Proud Republican

2008-11-10T09:13:00.003-05:00

I am a proud Republican

Imagine the legacy George W. Bush could have left, if he had not had to deal with the terrorist attack of 9-11, the Iraq war, the natural disasters of Katrina and Ike, and the financial fall out of the mis-management of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Let the Socialist Nation Begin

2008-11-07T10:06:00.007-05:00

Well Obama is compiling his list and checking it twice. He has started his transition website with a bizarre twist. Give him your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, and EMAIL ADDRESS and tell him your story and then he can find you whenever he wants to see if you have been naughty or nice.

It is bizarre that on a government site, he would be asking for all of your information. Fill that little form out and you will get his junk mail for the rest of your life. I wouldn't be surprised if they can capture your IP and computer specific ID from this form.

Maybe he is compiling the list to enforce his agenda of America Serves as listed on the website. One of his officials will be knocking on your door to enlist you in the Civilian Military. Better learn to goosestep and rat on your neighbor. God, I hope we don't have to wear those ugly brown shirts the Hitler civilian military wore, I hate brown shirts.

Story Teller beware.

Indoctrination of our Youth

2008-11-06T21:22:00.004-05:00

Is this what our tax dollars are for; the indoctrination of our youth. No wonder so many young people followed like good little sheep and bought the hype, hook, line, and sinker.

This woman is a poor excuse for a teacher, and even worse, a poor excuse as a person who has any contact with young minds. She tells a child that her daddy may not come home for 100 years, because she supports McCain and he wants to stay in Iraq forever. (A statement that was disputed by several sources and proven false)

A Man of Character and Honor

2008-11-05T14:46:00.002-05:00

Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.

My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

A little while ago, I had the honour of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.

(BOOING)

Please.

To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.

This is an historic election, and I recognise the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.

I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too.

But we both recognise that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation's reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.

A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt's invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.

America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.

Let there be no reason now ... Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.

Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country. I applaud him for it, and offer him my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day. Though our faith assures us she is at rest in the presence of her creator and so very proud of the good man she helped raise.

Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain.

These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.

I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.

It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.

We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours.

AUDIENCE: No!

MCCAIN: I am so...

AUDIENCE: (CHANTING)

MCCAIN: I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honour of your support and for all you have done for me. I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do, too (OFF-MIKE)

MCCAIN: The road was a difficult one from the outset, but your support and friendship never wavered. I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.

I'm especially grateful to my wife, Cindy, my children, my dear mother ... my dear mother and all my family, and to the many old and dear friends who have stood by my side through the many ups and downs of this long campaign.

I have always been a fortunate man, and never more so for the love and encouragement you have given me.

You know, campaigns are often harder on a candidate's family than on the candidate, and that's been true in this campaign.

All I can offer in compensation is my love and gratitude and the promise of more peaceful years ahead.

I am also — I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I've ever seen ... one of the best campaigners I have ever seen, and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength ... her husband Todd and their five beautiful children ... for their tireless dedication to our cause, and the courage and grace they showed in the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign.

We can all look forward with great interest to her future service to Alaska, the Republican Party and our country.

To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly, month after month, in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much. A lost election will never mean more to me than the privilege of your faith and friendship.

I don't know — I don't know what more we could have done to try to win this election. I'll leave that to others to determine. Every candidate makes mistakes, and I'm sure I made my share of them. But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.

This campaign was and will remain the great honour of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honour of leading us for the next four years.

(BOOING)

Please. Please.

I would not — I would not be an American worthy of the name should I regret a fate that has allowed me the extraordinary privilege of serving this country for a half a century.

Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much. And tonight, I remain her servant. That is blessing enough for anyone, and I thank the people of Arizona for it.

AUDIENCE: USA. USA. USA. USA.

MCCAIN: Tonight — tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama — whether they supported me or Senator Obama.

I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.

Americans never quit. We never surrender.

We never hide from history. We make history.

Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much.

Let the countdown begin, day 1461

2008-11-04T23:36:00.004-05:00

Today is a sad day for America. People sold their souls and their votes for as little as $1.36 a day. That is how much the poorest among us will receive with the Obama tax cut, if there is a tax cut at all.

I have loved this country my whole life. I did not come from money or stability and through hard work found both in my life. I grew up in foster homes almost my whole childhood and never had a single thing handed to me, I never once asked for anything from my country but a promise that through my own hard work, I could achieve the American Dream. My country fulfilled that promise and I am living the dream.

Today, for the first time in my life, I am scared of what our future as a country will hold. What the future of our country will be for our children and theirs to follow. This election, I fear has driven a wedge into the heart of our country that we have not seen since the civil war. The course that Obama is willing to steer us as a nation, will bring about a change that nobody thought possible and many never bargained for, as our freedoms slip away one after the other.

I will pray everyday for the next 1461 days that we survive the ObamaNation and our country can right itself on the course back to the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

God Bless America

Let's All Go To Camp

2008-11-04T08:35:00.002-05:00

From the Barton Bulletin

"CAMP OBAMA; ALINSKY COMMUNITY ORGANIZING 101

Yearning for that special summer camp? Looking to fulfill your obligation to mankind?

Camp Obama may be just what you're looking for.

Based on the principles of Saul Alinsky, as outined in his "Rules for Radials". Camp Obama will provide you with all of you need to know about intimidation, thought control, and speech suppression.

Camps are filling up fast s don't miss out"

Full story is found here:Barton Bulletin

Gee, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside right now, but wait we need a song to go with our camp experience. Obama's devoutees have written a song for just such an occasion, sung in the angelic voices of little children

Of course no camp experience can be complete without some Kool-aid. I am betting Obama's favorite is Bunch BARRY

The Audacity of Hypocrisy

2008-10-20T12:55:00.001-04:00

So Colin Powell has announced that he supports Barack Obama in the up coming election. To me this is an example of the audacity of hypocrisy on both of their parts.

Obama's hypocrisy of accepting the support of a man who was not only for the war in Iraq, but an architect of that war. Powell is a hypocrite by giving his support to man who would rather pull our troops in defeat than to support them in victory. This support flies in the face of everything Powell has represented in his public life. He not only supported the war in Iraq, but stated clearly that it was a war that had to be fought. How is it now that he can give support to a man that has stated all along that the war was a mistake, that our solders are bombing and air raiding women and children, and the surge would not work. How can Powell come out and support a man who would want to cut the spending for our military including funding for our troops in Iraq.

I have said repeatedly that had Powell run for office, I would have supported him. After hearing his reasons for supporting Obama, I no longer think he would have the judgement to run our country. A man willing to throw all of his convictions aside for political gain, is not a leader, he is a man without convictions at all.

PRO CHOICE OR PRO ABORTION?

2008-10-10T08:58:00.000-04:00

There is a difference between the two. Pro Choice means you have a choice to choose life or death. Pro Abortion means you are for Abortion by any means necessary.

Even most Pro Choice people would not support the killing of a life born child during an abortion attempt. I would guess that almost every Pro Choice person would not support the killing of a child in the 7th, 8th, or even 9th month of pregnancy, as clearly a child born at this time of the pregnancy is a viable life. I would go so far as to believe that Pro Choice people would not support the CLONING of embryos for the purpose of stem cell research.

Well all of these thoughts that I have listed are actually thoughts that Obama has with relation to Pro Choice, to this I say, he is not Pro Choice, He is PRO ABORTION

He wants to fund Abortions, Stem Cell research that uses cloned embryos, while taking away funding for programs that offer choices to pregnant women and research that would allow for alternative scientific methods for developing cells for stem cell research

From the cited link below with regards to stem cell research:

"But Obama would not stop there. He has co-sponsored a bill-strongly opposed by McCain-that would authorize the large-scale industrial production of human embryos for use in biomedical research in which they would be killed. In fact, the bill Obama co-sponsored would effectively require the killing of human beings in the embryonic stage that were produced by cloning. It would make it a federal crime for a woman to save an embryo by agreeing to have the tiny developing human being implanted in her womb so that he or she could be brought to term. This ''clone and kill'' bill would, if enacted, bring something to America that has heretofore existed only in China-the equivalent of legally mandated abortion. In an audacious act of deceit, Obama and his co-sponsorsmisleadingly call this ananti-cloning bill. But it is nothing of the kind. What it bans is not cloning, but allowing the embryonic children produced by cloning to survive

But when a bill was introduced in the United States Senate to put a modest amount of federal money into research to develop these methods, Barack Obama was one of the few senators who opposed it. From any rational vantage point, this is unconscionable. Why would someone not wish to find a method of producing the pluripotent cells scientists want that all Americans could enthusiastically endorse? Why create and kill human embryos when there are alternativesthat do not require the taking of nascent human lives? It is as if Obama is opposed to stem-cell research unless it involves killing human embryos. "

This man is crazy at the very least and very, very, dangerous at the most. Personally, i say he is the most dangerous man in our country in my life time.

My Letter to Mainstream Media

2008-10-06T09:03:00.000-04:00

After Newsweek published on yet another article on Sarah Palin, this one titled "She's One of the Folks..and why that's a problem"

What is wrong with being "Just One of Us? Many of us Americans are proud to have "Just One of Us" representingus. We are the same proud Americans that spend money on your magazine, but not any more. I, for one, will never buy your magazine again. Many of us out here in the real world are sick and tired of the one sided coverage that is being shoved down our throat during this election.

How about covering Obama and his many questionableassociations. Do we have that many US citizens living in Kenya, that they need to have a US Senator there on our dollars, campaigning for a RADICAL? How many radicals does a person have to be associated with before the media does an honest and fair evaluation of the facts?

The American people deserve to know exactly who Obama is and what his true agenda is for our country. The Campaign mantra of his radical cousin, Odonga, is all to familiar.

How about covering Acorn and the direct affiliation with the Democratic Party and Obama. The fact that the Democrats wanted to channel millions of dollars of the bailout bill to fund this corrupt organization. The same organization that applied pressure to the financial institutes as a way to get loans for people clearly not qualified.

How about coverage of slums in Chicago that Obama oversaw and funded private people(Rezko) to maintain. The Boston Globe covered it, why not you? This is a man that is running to lead our country, and he can't even take care of the people in his own state, or district?

What about the millions of dollars that Obama funded for the radical teachings of William Ayers. The school projects weren't to better the education of the students in Chicago, they were to indoctrinate these youths in a socialist mentality.

What about the Truth Squads in Missouri, why is there a Truth Squad in the first place? Who is watching over Obama's lies in his campaign messages? NO ONE.

Don't claim to be a news magazine or a News Program, when you are afraid to report ALL of the NEWS. You are nothing but a rag magazine on par with the National Enquire or a news station more on line with the E channel. Actually as of late, you are more similar to Teen Bop or the Disney Channel, with your gushing reports on Obama. Do you feel that "tingle" running up your leg?

The Countdown to Freedom

2008-10-04T15:05:00.000-04:00

The Countdown to Freedom starts here. With the election closing in and "The One" leading in the polls, we may be headed to a very dark time in our country's history.

In my mind, this election battle has never been about color or gender, this has been about freedom. When the election race first began, I thought Obama was a decent option for the office of President, however the more I read and heard, the more I realized that he is not even close.

When I began to focus on the Republican race, I initially supported Romney, unfortunately, he was out of the race by the time it came to my state. In the early days of the general campaign, McCain would get my vote by default, but as I read more about him and his policies, I became an ardent supporter of him and Sarah Palin.

Now with the race winding down and tonight being the last debate, I am cautiously hopeful that McCain will be able to pull a win from behind victory, thus preserving our freedoms for at least another four years.

With all of the information discussed and NOT discussed about Barak Obama, it is not far fetched to think that many of our freedoms that we enjoy today, will become a thing of the past, to this I am afraid of what our future will become.

For the first time in my life, I am looking at buying a gun. I have never been in favor of owning a gun, always afraid of that unbridled power just a arms length away. Statistics show that most gun deaths come from with in the family home. That being said, in the times to come, not owning a gun to protect those rights that my father's fathers shed their blood for would be irresponsible of me as an American citizen, in my opinion.

I am a proud American and believe there is no country on the face of this earth that is any better. I am willing to fight for the heritage of our country, the legacy of freedom, for my children and theirs to follow.

Debate in five and a half hours.

Go Get Em McCain.

Just a Hockey Mom

2008-10-02T17:26:00.001-04:00

What it take to be a hockey mom; in a word, SACRIFICE:

I have been a hockey mom for over 15 years. My son is now in his second year of college and hopefully will make the roster again for his DIII NCAA Hockey team. My daughter is a senior at high school who has lived away from home for the last three years to pursue her hockey aspirations of playing DI hockey and making the USA National team. We have moved 4 times to support our children's dreams. We have gotten up at 3:30 in the morning to make it to the rink for a 4:30 AM practice or a 5:00AM game. I put 150,000 miles to date on my Dec 2004 vehicle, driving my kids from one rink to another, all over this country and into Canada.

Being a hockey mom is a special experience that I would not trade for anything. You have to be tough to be a hockey mom. As a hockey mom, you have to learn to let your children go, to let them fall and get back up all on their own (both figuratively and literally),let them face adversity, budget money to pay for the sport and not go broke, take criticism from your opponents with a grain of salt, and let the heckler's voices go in one ear and out the other. As a hockey mom, you learn to sacrifice early morning sleep, fresh smelling vehicles and garages, traditional holidays (most tournaments fall on the holidays), extreme time management, and keen space organization. Your kids have to be tough to be a hockey player, and not just physically. They have to be mentally tough. The lessons learned in Hockey are lessons that will carry over into their lifes. How to work as a team, to rise above failure, to set goals, to make sacrifices, to work through fatigue, to have dedication, to stay focused, and to develop a competitive spirit.

I had the privilege of watching Track Palin play his last year of hockey, as he played on the same team as my son did in Michigan. You may ask why would a kid from Alaska play hockey in Michigan. I have read with great amusement several people asking just that question with such ridiculous speculations as to the answer. The answer is fairly simple to any of us in the hockey world. Unlike other youth sports where talented players move from high school to college, hockey for the male player has a stop gap called Juniors. In order for a player to move from youth to college in most instances, they have to play Juniors. The chances of a player from Alaska getting that opportunity is not as great as a player playing in Michigan, Minnesota, New England, or Canada. Even the female players in Alaska very often move away from home to increase their opportunity to pursue their dream of playing in college, to further their education while playing the game they love. Track's decision to join the military could not have been easy, given the amount of sacrifice he and his family had made already, throughout his youth, for him to pursue his hockey dreams. He had already been tendered (made) a junior team after his final year of hockey in Michigan, when he announced he had joined the military instead. As a mother of a hockey player, this told me two things; he was a young man who understood the lessons learned in hockey and he came from a family that taught him well about honor, sacrifice, and working for something greater then himself.

How does all of this translate into my support for Sarah Palin. I know from her comment of being a hockey mom, that she understands what it is to be tough, to work hard, to sacrifice, to support a team, to deal with adversity, to let the heckler's comments go in one ear and out the other, to budget money and control spending, to organize, and to negotiate. How do I know this, because she is a hockey mom, DUH!!!!

Sarah, tonight when you begin that debate, remember that you are a tough hockey mom and don't let the hecklers on the left get you down.
