I stole this quote

     Anyone discovering the source gets a prize.
 "Mr. Obama, why is it acceptable for your wife to trash this country and spout Marxist drivel, but not acceptable for us to notice it?"
   "Mr. Obama, why is it acceptable for you to say you will talk with murderous thugs of terrorist regimes who threaten our very lives, but not acceptable for us to notice it and call it what it is."   (Appeasement for those of you who haven't been listening lately)
 
          The one I stole it from cannont claim the prize!!  :-)))   But it was worth repeating here!!

OK you Obama fans

   Now I understand!!  He's in Florida and here's what he's promising
       Health care for all Americans
      
       Cheaper gas
 
       Jobs returned from overseas
 
       Better care for veterans
 
      More money for teachers
 
      More money for the Space Program  (remember...he's in FL)
 
       More money for Medicaid
 
       More money for college students
 
       More money to build roads
 
           Oh, and in his spare time he's going to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
           I know the Islamic terrorists will breathe a sigh of relief when they hear this.
A columnist in our local liberal rag calls this the biggest  "goody sack" ..."since Franklin Roosevelt"
     (I separated the items in that list so you could think about each one in turn.  Otherwise your vision would blur after the first few.)

Cindy McCain

I posted an article on Michelle Obama recently.  So here's the one on Cindy McCain.  Read them both and decide which one you want in the White House.
         Cindy graduated from Southern Cal and was a special-needs teacher.
         After her dad died she became involved with his beer-distributing firm and is now the chairwoman.  Sales have doubled since she
has taken over.
         She and John have a pre-nup agreement,  her assets remain separate.
         She is involved around the world clearing land mines...travels with a detonation team to different countries.
          She and John have a 19-yr old serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy, a daughter recently graduated from Columbia, an adopted daughter in high school and a son who is finance officer in the beer firm.
         She raised the kids in Phoenix AZ rather than in D.C. for a better atmosphere.  He commuted.
         In 1991 she came across a girl with a cleft palate in an orphanage in Bangladesh.  Mother Teresa implored her to take the child which she did without telling her husband.  They adopted the girl and paid for a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate among other medical problems.
        They have a Family Foundation for children's causes.
        She is active with "Halo Trust"..to clear landmines , provide water and food in war-ravaged and developing countrie.
         She will join an overseas mission of "Operation Smile" , a charity for corrective surgery on children's faces.
        She has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers.  She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.
         The media is very quiet about her attributes, but she sounds much more capable of being a First Lady to be proud of than either Hillary or Michelle.
            If you are not convinced , scroll back and read the piece on Michelle again.
  Thank you for thinking seriously about this.

Links to Think About

   I KNOW you can't stand McCain.  Who of us can?  But let's work for 2012 and meanwhile please read the following link:
 
and then see this one:    America's Best Days Behind Us?
 
We have one necessary goal in this election!  Keep Obama out!!  The damage he can do to the country in 4 years will last for not only years but for generations!!  There is only one way!  No matter how much we dislike the candidate we have the future of the country is more important.  
    I put in a post about Michelle a short time ago.  Now I am going to put one in about Cindy McCain and if you don't see the difference between those two you are blind!

Prager and Tyrrell

   Dennis Prager says "Forty years of left-wing control of the news media, of Hollywood, of the public schools, of the universities and of nearly every big city government have nearly ruined those institutions."
 
   Emmett Tyrrell says:  ...the moron vote.  It is a constituency composed of politically ingnorant citizens who nonetheless feel very intensely about political issues once their respective demogogues have notified them of the issues, suitably transmogrified....Some might be marine biologists or interior decorators or professors of romance languages, and in their chosen field they might be very knowledgeable.  Yet when it comes to politics they are in the dark."
 
        These two quotes explain why we have the government we do and why we have the candidates we have this year.  And someone tells me if we just keep on telling our story, if we just keep on preaching, if we just persist in trying to make people understand the conservative ideas, we can make a difference.   I want to believe.

Republican Leaders Must Resign

   from Newmax.com:
    According to Richard A. Viguerie, the Republican Party must replace its leadersip or conservatives will continue to withhold support and the GOP will face disaster in November.
    He is publisher of ConservativeHQ.com and the pioneer of political direct mail.
    He says:  Leaders in the White House, the Congress, and the Republican National Committee and its affiliates, along with most Republican leaders at the state level have failed--or outright betrayed--the conservative voters who put them in their positions.
     The result is that the Republicn Party's brand has become a negative to an extent greater than in the Watergate era, perhaps even worse than in the days of Herbert Hoover.
     Viguerie made these points:
        * The number of new Republican voters is flat while Democrat voter registration is soaring.
 
       *  Contributions to Republican candidates and committees are way off, while donations to Democrats are setting records.
 
       *In this year's primaries, votes for GOP candidates at all levels are running behind the Democrats.
 
       *In recent special elections, Republicans lost House seats in Illinois, Louisiana, and Mississippi that had long been in GOP hands--all in districts carried overwhelmingly by President Bush.  A single election can be a fluke, but when Republicans lose three seemingly safe seats in a row disaster is looming.
 
      He says : The hard work of the last 50 years by millions of conservative campaign workers, donors, candidates, writers, intellectuals, and activists has been trashed.
     The conservative movement has been set back 10 to 20 years--possibly even permanently--by politicians consumed by power. 
 
        He named a number of prominent Republicans, including Pres Bush, Karl Rove, party chairman Mike Duncan, House Minority leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell, former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt.
        Some deserve more of the blame than others, but they are all part of an establishment that has brought the Republican Party down.
For things to change, for conservatives to be justified in once again giving our contributions, our volunteer efforts, our energy, and votes to the GOP the party must clean house.  The party leadership should resign immediately.
     Republicans are doomed to wander in the political wilderness until the generation of weak-kneed, no-vision-, inarticulate, afraid-of-the-liberal media politicians are replaced with principled conservatives in the mold of Bill Buckley, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan.
    
     He has this message for the current GOP leadership:  "For the future of the Republican Party, for America, and the cause of freedom.
            GO!!!"
       His latest book is "Conservatives Betrayed:  How George W. Bush and Other Big-Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause.
 
           As you can see I dispensed with most of the quote marks because of laziness .  but this message needs to be broadcast, and sent, and repeated and repeated until it reaches the deaf ears of our "dishonored" leaders.

Idiot Government "Gift"

   OK I got my "gift" back from the government (which, as someone wrote today, my grandchildren and their children will be paying back to China in the future) and I am not sending it back!
    Husband and I were expressing our disgust with the idea of giving everyone a check when we are so deep in debt and some genius said "Well, why don't you send it back?"   Ha Ha. (in a sarcastic tone)
    Why does the govt feel that, every time there is a problem,  they have to jump in and "fix" it??  And why is it that every time they try to "fix" it it gets worse than it was before?
 
Another example...Spector!!  What is he doing meddling with football?  After the paper came out with an apology for being wrong??  He still wants to "investigate"!!!  Just because the Patriots beat his team??
                                                ******************************
And then the news and columns today are saying (Surprise!)  the Republicans are imploding!  Between an idiot president (and I never thought I would say that about any president since Jimmy Carter!) and an arrogant, spendthrift Congress what the heck did we expect??
      Among others I wrote to those bandits in Alaska about the money they have been "stealing" from the rest of the country and I bet they never saw those letters.  And then even the Republicans voted down the bill on cutting out earmarks!!
        When the Democrats start pushing through all  the give-away programs they have lined up for the future we will think these days are the halcyon days!  
         Conservatives are going to have a long wait to have any control and , at the minute, I would not be surprised if that time never came.  The Republicans in charge now are not conservative, anyway and, according to what I read today, the country is going to Democrat or Independent.  Well, let's all go liberal!  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,  right/??  Sorry, I can't do it.

Acts of Nature??

I have been giving some thought to the terrible things that have been happening in the last few days.  Tornadoes in this country, flooding of the east coast, cyclone in Myanmar, earthquake in China, and , closer to home, fires in Florida.
Now, according to Algore , these must be caused by global warming, right?
Well, my theory is that Mother Nature is having a fit!!  She wants to know why Humans feel they can be responsible for something that only she controls and so she is saying "There!!  Take that!!  I'll show you who makes the climate change on this world and it is not you puny little nothings!!"
  You think maybe???

Nancy Pelosi..Communist??

   I just got an email that, if true, is enough to send chills down the spine of any one believing in a democratic republic.
    The story is that Nancy Pelosi wants a windfall tax on Retirement Income (tax on all stock  market profits including Retirement funds, 401K, and Mutual Funds) !!
     If this is true, it is as close to socialism as it is possible to get.  She wants to raise the standard of living of the illegals and the minority poor and what better way to do it than to take money from people who have worked all their lives, paid their taxes, and expect to reap the fruit of their efforts.
       And don't forget, folks, we have a candidate for Pres. who will be happy to go along with that plan!!!  If we don't defeat Obama the country is going to change, all right, but many of us will feel it will not be for the better.

Checking out Michelle

   Mark Alexander in the Patriot Post takes a look at Michelle Obama (and Cindy McCain) but let's just look at Michelle for a few minutes.
    He says "Michelle Obama will very likely be dictating policy if her husband gets elected."  That's an interesting conclusion and I am not sure how he comes to that.   But if he is right it's a scary thought.
     "Michelle majored in sociology and minored in African-American studies at Princeton."  and, in her senior thesis she proclaimed "that her college experience 'made me far more aware of my Blackness.  I will always be Black first.' "  And the capitals are hers.
     You know by now that she and Barack were married by the infamous pastor,  that their children were baptized by him, and they attended that church, listening to his sermons for twenty years.  If Barack never heard his pastor say the things that we have heard, we have to wonder if Michelle heard and if she agreed.
       "Michelle joined the staff of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, arguably one of the most corrupt mayoral dynasties in Americah history."  
        "She says her campaign role ' is to give people yet another slice of who Barack is, making him even more multidimensional.  People want to know not just about policies...but who are you?  What do you believe in?  Can I trust you?' "
         "...her 'black first' indoctrination casts a pall over her vision for America.' "
         "Like Barack, Michelle builds her stump speeches around the victimization script.   She repeatedly claims that 'America is downright mean' and whines that we are a 'nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day...Folks are struggling like never before...' "
           Since their "principal residence is a fashionable South Side Georgian mansion purchased with the help of  good friend, and local gangster, Tony Rezko"  I am not sure how she sees the "struggling folks" .  The economy , up till recently, was in good shape, employment was high, and many in the middle class were not only NOT disappearing but were moving up. 
          Mark quotes Yuval Levin, a "fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center"  who says "By her husband's logic, Michelle Obama must be a heavily armed xenophobic religious zealot, because boy is she bitter...In Michelle Obama's America, everybody's suffering, no one has time to make any friends, no one earns enough to eke out a living anymore, and the bar of success is always being moved just out of reach."
         
           so...if we all thought Hillary was a takeover broad, who had too much influence on her husband and made too many decisions, we do think she has a better view of America than this one.  With Michelle's attitude of victim, in spite of the fact that she got an excellent education, a good job, a nice home, a successful (so far) husband  , what kind of First Lady would she make?  My feeling is WATCH OUT!!

U.N. spending money

   I just posted that piece on the U.N. and here they go!  They had about 20 people (all with hard hats on that someone paid for) turning over the "first shovel" to open the work of doing over the U.N. building and adding to it.  And guess who is paying the largest part of the money??? 
  Yup, you guessed.     The building is a mess and certainly needs renovating but what a great time it would be to kick them out of the country.   Ah well,  With all the extra money we have we won't even notice the cost.  Right?  Right!

IMPRIMIS

Got my latest issue of Imprimis and it has an adaptation of a speech by John Bolton.  Imprimis is a publication from Hillsdale College and usually has an article by a conservative.  John Bolton was the Rep. to the United Nations that the Democrats tried hard to prevent.
  One of the things he talks about is "norming"...."the idea that the U.S. should base its decisions on some kind of international consensus, rather than making its decisions as a constitutional democracy."   A quote from a professor from a major European university: "The problem with the United States is its devotion to its Constitution over international norms."  (That's a problem???)
     The U.N. has already decided the question of the death penalty.  In this country we are still debating it and some states feel one way and others the other way.  Members of the U.N. expect our country to go by U.N. rules, not our own.
      They have also passed resolutions about gun control and Bolton said  "we were not going to sign on to any international agreement that prohibited private ownership of guns."  The fact that we have a Constitution that precludes any such restriction was treated in the U.N. as "an entirely specious notion.
      So... they are perfectly capable of "passing resolutions about the death penalty and gun control" it can't agree to "a definition of terrorism that would enable it to denounce terrorism."
     "So in all the areas where the U.N. shouldn't be involved---issues best left to sovereign countries---it is very successful in passing judgment, especially when it can spit in the eye of the U.S.  But in the one area where the U.N. could be of most use in promoting international peace, it has failed completely.  So much for 'norming'."
 
    He goes on to discuss the "oil-for-food scandal",  says it is not a unique incident.  The U.N. Budget Committee rejected an effort to reform by a margin of about two  to one.  The countries voting in favor of these reforms contribute over 90% of the U.N.'s budget...the countries voting against them contribute under 10%.
 
  They tried to reform the U.N. Human Rights Commission.  It was so weakened by the time it got to a vote that the U.S. voted against it.
       
     Bolton doesn't believe we should get out but we should "change the arrangement by which financing of the U.N. is mandatory."  "The United States should pay for what it wants and insist that it get what it pays for."
      
       I have seen signs that some on the Supreme Court think we should go by international law and I thought that was a bad idea then.  And then Kerry seemed to think we should go by some kind of "global test" and that was one reason I thought he would not be a good Pres.  
        It will be interesting to see if this comes up in the coming campaign.

Beginning of America Part III

Thanks to Wil we have some statistics .  He found them on a U.S. Navy site.
    In the Revolutionary War  217,003 served,  6,188 were wounded, and 4,435 died
 
    In the current Iraq confllict  15,000 have served and 4,100 have died.  No number for wounded but it's a lot.
    
    He has given the numbers for all the wars America has fought in and the numbers are enough to make one cry.
    All of those Americans have died in the idiotic wars that human fight.
    If you wish to see the whole list,  go to the comments on Beginning of America.
     I have read science-fiction stories that tried to find better ways for settling disputes.  None of them are much
 better.   With all of the aggressiveness and the cruelty and the torture and the greed in the world one has to wonder
what it is all about.

Beginning of America P.S.

Peppermint points out something I didn't think of.  Here in American women didn't get the vote until 1920 while in Iraq women are already voting.
