Remember In November

Well it's under 100 days to the mid-term elections and as mid-terms go, this one could turn out to be a real barn burner. Remember back in school how we should have taken notes to help us with our mid-term exams? Well here are some notes we might want to remember as the elections draw closer. after all, this is going to be much more important than a good grade in Home-Ec or Shop Class. A failing grade here could ruin this country for a generation. This isn't all about the president but will include his minions,lackeys and the kool-ade drinkers that thought it would be Earthshaking to be part of a whole new era for the US.

* "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!" How many believe that any more? any more changes and we're not going to recognize this Country.

* No tax increases for any one make less than 200K annually. What about the expiration of the Bush tax cuts that will actually affect every taxpayer in this country? Not to mention the lapsing of the Death Tax and taxes on interest income, just how many people will that really hit?

*Refusing Help From Non-Union Oil companies during the BP Fiasco. Guess he didn't want to bite the hand that feeds him?

*Health Care Reform. Reform? you call handing over our health care system to a bunch of people not even qualified to run a lemonade stand smart? it ain't about reform, it's about control!

*This is going to be a "Transparent" Administration. Hmmmm no hearings on anything, cover ups and stalling on something as simple as a birth certificate don't make much for transparency, however his stand on so many issues and his action makes it pretty easy to see right through him.

*Suing the state of Arizona for wanting to secure its borders and to protect the lives and property of her citizens. Hmmm so much for States Right and the will of the People here. Looks like they are gonna ram amnesty down our throats like Health Care. When a government won't lift a finger to protect its own people, then to me it has ceased to be a government and has become an ideological regime.

*Failure to support Israel. How can this man not see the writing on the wall? We have distanced ourselves from a strong ally, a loyal friend and the only stable government in the Middle East. and for what, to seem more empathetic to an ideology that wants to destroy all we stand for in the name of their God?

*Unemployment. How many more people will have to be laid off or under-employed to realize that it don't matter to them as long as they can make them dependent on the Federal Government and make them loyal voters to perpetuate the system. Figger that's why they are wanting to extend unemployment benefits?

*Sanctions. Hmmmm how can you walk the walk, when nobody believes you when you talk the talk? I mean we have alienated our allies with this. Israel is backed into a corner and feels like she is alone now.

*Afghanistan. Giving our enemies a time lime? what the heck is that? a recipe for disater if you ask me, but i never knew a liberal yet that knew how to fight a war, except maybe to lose one to further their agenda.

Well these are just a few notes for y'all to peruse and contemplate. I'll be posting more as elections get closer.
Remember November
May God Bless and Keep our Armed Forces Safe!!

The Acceptance of Growing Older

I've learned a lot of things in this life and now that I've got older, acceptance is one of them. A big thing to accept is the fact that everyone grows older. So after having fought the good fight I've come to accept I'm getting older now and need to accept a few facts such as:

Two or Three weeks of exercise won't get me back into "Football" shape.

It's okay to be able to hide your own Easter Eggs.

Naps are wasted on the young.

Senior Tees are a good thing.

I'm liking the discounts.

Younger women are't that young anymore.

More than three trips to the bathroom after going to bed
should count as exercise.

Nooners, quickies and matinees now refer to naps.

Music seems louder than it used to.

It's okay to start a sentence with,"back in my day".

Being into leather now refers to upholstery and truck seats.

I've turned into my parents.

It's not ADD but OLD!

I know there are more and there will come a time I'll
look at a piece of rope in my hand and wonder,"did I find some rope,
or lose a horse?"; but until them I'm going to do like I always have and live each day like the new one it is and give thanks for the memories I have.

All I Needed To Know About Life, I Learned by Going to the Show

Having grown up with a deep affection for going to the "show" as we small town folks like to say, I would like to share some things I've learned from being an avid (some would say obsessed) movie buff.

The days of the week: "Monday, Wednesday Tuesday, Friday"- The Godfather

It's about to hit the fan: "Houston, We have a problem".- Apollo XIII

Do something NOW!: "Too close for missiles, switching to guns!"- Top Gun

Going your own way: " A man oughta do what he thinks is right".- Hondo

Entrepreneurism: "We rob banks."- Bonnie and Clyde

Optimism: "After all, tomorrow is a another day". - Gone With the Wind

Life aint fair: "I coulda been a contender." - On the Waterfront

Perserverance: "A Commanche will only chase something till he thinks he chased it enough; then he quits. He dont understand something that just keeps chasing him." - The Searchers

Romance: "Any man that wouldn't cheat for a poke, don't deserve one." - Lonesome Dove

Courage: "Today, I feel like I'm the luckiest man on the face of the Earth." - Pride of the Yankees

A chance meeting of an old girlfriend that dumped you: "Of all the gin joints in all the world, why'd she have to come into my place?" -Casablanca

On what's important in life: "Only two things in life worth havin, a beautiful woman from anywhere or a Swiss watch. Ever had a Swiss watch?" - Red River

On "coming of age"; "Mrs. Robinson,are you trying to seduce me?"- The Graduate

On Life in general: "It ain't dyin' I'm talkin' 'bout Woodrow, it's livin'." Lonesome Dove.

After realizing all I have learned from the movies, makes me wonder what all y'all might have learned from them that has helped in life. So until time; adios,
au revoir and pass the popcorn.
