They Say a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. How many tears have these cost?

Did Our President Actually Say Things Might Look Bad for Democrats?

  Mama, don't tell me this is a dream, but did Obama truly say things might not go well in November? Surely that has to be some kind of joke the media is playin' on us! After all he's promised and all that Congress has rammed down our throats (among other places), that he might have gotten the message?
  I don't think so; you see, one must be in touch with the pulse of America to know how people are really feeling right now. and ideologues rarely have any idea of what goes on around them.
So if i might illuminate the "Annointed One", here's what we're upset about:

• Blame Bush Syndrome: Com'on Mr. President, surely after nearly two years why are still blaming GW? Might I enlighten you a little? The economy was growing steadily until 2007. Does that year strike a chord? It was the year the Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate.
• Promising a clear and transparent government, then using backroom deals and last minute votes to push forward your Leftist Agenda.
• Being the American "Apologist" instead of the President. Sir, we know America isn't perfect, but that's no reason to apologize and denigrate our way of life to anyone that will listen.
• Appointing "Czars" accountable to no one but you. Seems like you have manged to grab control of a lot of power in this manner. I think you'll pay dearly for that.
• Losing the trust of our closest Allies while trying to make friends with people who want to destroy our way of life.
• Telling us how you're going to ease the burden on the Middle Class yet adamantly refuse extend the Bush tax Cuts.
• Obamacare. Nothing more need be said
• Filing suit against Arizona. This isn't about Immigration. It's about usurping the power of the States.

  Mr. President, those are just a few things that have Democrats avoiding you like the plague as the days wind down to election. Ponder this, if what you're doing is so good for America, Why are Democrat candidates conveniently away whenever you show up? Might I cite a few instances? Bill White was indisposed when you came to Texas and brushed aside Governor Perry's greeting and letter. Russ Feingold was away when you were in Wisconsin rambling on about how things were getting better. Why are people in your own staff literally throwing you under the bus to save their own reputations? How does it feel to wear tire tracks for once?
Senior Democrats in both houses are retiring; why is that? It's because they don't want to be in on the coming election when every thing you stand for gets thrown back in your face and they have nothing to run on thanks to your heavy handed way of doing things.
  I truly think this mid-term election is going to  be a bellwether one way or another for the United States. I pray to God it goes the right way.

Remembering the Duke

Wow, so much to remember... He was a box office star... An Oscar winning actor of great range...And an American of the First Order.

I remember nearly every line of every John Wayne Movie... As kids we would be so excited when we heard a new John Wayne movie was coming to town.. We even got to stay up late if one was on TV.




I guess if it came right down to it, I can't pick any one of his movies that I could call my favorite. I can't for the life of me think of any movie I've seen of his
that I could truly say I didn't like. Oh he made some that didn't do well and some he did to finance his Production company; but, all in all, he made some real good movies.




The things I like about the Duke's movies were the fact that most of them were cut and dried; good vs evil, right vs wrong. And of course never let it be said he couldn't make a funny movie... Nothing too slapstick but he did have a great sense of humor and it was spot on in his timing and delivery... in fact I cant think of many movies that didn't have some humor in it.



As for being a great American,just look at the characters he portrayed. They were the personification of the way he saw America: strong, independent, willing to do the right thing no matter the cost, and not perfect but human.




Take some of his greatest roles: Sgt. John Stryker, Ethan Edwards, Tom Donovan, and of course, Rooster Cogburn. they were just men, doing what they thought right; each with his own demons that they also had to battle, whether it be alcohol or just having time pass them by.









But, in all honesty, it's his politics and stances that made him my hero. In an era of turmoil and Hollywood swinging even further to the left, Duke stood fast in his beliefs. He didn't hide them as some Hollywood Conservatives did. He went out and told the country what he stood for. He went his own way, even making a movie honoring our Special Forces at a time our servicemen and women were being spat on by their peers as they returned home from serving in Viet Nam. The Duke loved his country; the country that gave the opportunity Marion Morrison to become John Wayne. And as John Wayne, he died as he lived, his own man. Sounds kinda like his role as JB Book in last movie, The Shootist.



God Bless Ya, Duke! America and the World will never forget you

Thank You President Obama

Yall, I think we are being way too tough on our president and i think he deserves some thank yous.

Thank You for:

The most massive debt load this country has ever seen.

The weakening of our National Defense.

The loss of respect in the eyes of the World.

The strained relations between us and our Allies.

The loss of trust in how our system should work by bringing your "Chicago-style" way of doing business to Washington.

The "Shanghai-ing" of our health care and banking under the guise of reform.

Now to be fair (and balanced as the saying goes), I'm gonna thank you for some good things that have happened since you took office.

Thank you for:

Nearly single-handedly crippling the Democratic Party with your agenda of "Hope and Change".

Re-energizing the Conservative movement. You, Mr. President have brought more people to the fold than Ronald Reagan.

Being the driving force behind the Tea Party Movement.

The landmark sales of guns and ammo. Even with every other industry suffering you have managed to help them with your stances on gun control.

Reuniting the country. You have managed with just two issues, the Mosque and the Arizona Bill, to get 70% of the citizens of this country to agree on something: They don't like what you're doing!

Showing us what can happen when we let apathy and some well placed sound bites from a teleprompter reading, conniving, hustler worm his way by lying through his teeth, into being elected the President of these United States.

Now, Mr President, I think you owe us some thanks. You by now must have realized just how overwhelming the Presidency can be, 'specially for someone as ill-equipped to handle as obviously you seem to be; so come election time, we're gonna do our dead-level best to take this job off your hands so you and your globetrotting wife can vacation and play golf to your hearts' content. Even if it's still on our dime, it will still be cheaper than allowing you to serve another term. That, Sir, is the "Change" I'm hopin for.

Are We Getting TOO Casual?

Y'all I have to ask this question, “Do all y'all think, as I do, that we as a society might have gotten a little too casual?". Not only in attire but also in attitudes and manners? Think about it, not only is it acceptable to walk around looking like bums but our manners have gotten way too casual in how we treat people.
Okay, I'll admit I don’t care much for flip-flops and how they are creeping into every style of dress, however, I do think that there can be other choices in footwear once in a while. What's wrong with dressing up a little to go somewhere once in a while, if for no other reason than to stay in practice? We went out the other night and I couldn’t believe how most folks were dressed. It was like they had rummaged thru the bottom of the closet and just grabbed something. Wrinkled, scruffy and flip flops, some way to dress to go out for an evening. To me, and I may be off base, but it shows a lack of respect for self and for whom your with. When I was going out when was younger, my boots had to be shined, clothes ironed and my hair combed. I’m serious about this, I had to pass an inspection by my grandmother before leaving. To this day, this has stuck with me and I think it has served me in good stead.

And that leads me to this. Has attitude about dress affected our attitude to how we should treat people? I guess it was my upbringin’ by mother and my grandma Adele that instilled in us kids both manners and how to treat people. It was always yes/no maam/sir; never yep or nope. God forbid a yeah came out ever came out of mouth. We were taught to respect ourselves as well as others. Men were expected to rise the first time a lady walked into the room, chairs were to be held and doors opened. Men were to hold a coat so the lady might don it more easily. Men were to walk on the outside (curbside) and to offer an arm if the lady desired. A date was to begin and end at the front door, not with the honk of a horn.

Why is it that it’s now acceptable to just kinda talk at people instead of to them or with them? I’ve seen it more than once when people would ask a question and someone would either just blow them off or just barely acknowledge their very existence? I seem to notice this more in large urban areas and up north. Not sure why that is, but like I said, I’ve seen it firsthand. If communication is the cornerstone of society, then good manners should be the mortar that holds it together.

More to Remember

These are just off the top of my head but here goes:

Chris Dodd: King of the Sweetheart mortgage. Just how crooked does a Democrat have to be to go to jail these days?

Charles Rangel: See above.

Barney Frank: Volumes could be written but will just ask,"How many Republicans could remain in office after his boy toy ran a gay callboy(?) service out of his apt?".

Maxine Waters: More corruption from the Golden State.

Nancy Pelosi: A tragic waste of Botox. God, just what does this woman want from us? she's got more perks than a case of coffee. So in favor of labor that she forced through a minimum wage hike that affected all workers making minimum wage except in certain areas, one of those being American Samoa; where she and her husband own a cannery.

Harry Reid: we need to pull handle against him and see if people still like him.

RINOS: Every Republican that votes with the Democrats on Kagan's confirmation needs to be voted out. PERIOD

Allowing the Bush Tax Cuts to expire: Trying to say this isn't a tax hike is like trying to say Barney Frank is straight!

Cap and Trade:Cap and Tax. This proves that the government is definitely anti-business and a bunch of post-turtles.

Value Added Tax: No tax hikes for people making less than 200k? When they tax everything you make purchase, make or sell; how is that not a tax hike?

Card Check: So much for a secret ballot if that passes.

And the Biggie: The Stimulus! what Stimulus??? It's slush fund for services rendered to every thug, crook, and sleazeball that had anything to with his getting nominated. it was even used to keep Michelle's brother from losing his job. Hmmm does that job count??

Unrevising History

Jeez it galls me to think of how our History of this great nation is being "cleansed"(censored, revised and diluted) so that it's less offensive to the ethnics who might be offended by the real truth. Why is it our history is so distasteful? Think I’ll give a few examples of some that rankle me and see if I can shed some illumination on them.

Texas over throws a repressive military regime: US steals southwest from Mexico. How did it get there? Because we don't want to offend Hispanic sensitivity. And to prove that we over threw a bad government, can anybody name a Mexican government that actually accomplished anything for its people? Now we have to deal with the mess the Feds have made of immigration and granting them rights and benefits that are bankrupting the entire Southwest in the hopes of gaining a few votes.

The Indian Wars: We stole the land from an indigenous people. Well most tribes took land and held it not by treaty with other tribes but by force. The Lakota raided Crow territory and bragged about it. Why is it they cry over land they couldn't hold when they took it from a weaker tribe as did we? The worst thing we ever did was in allowing them to continue to live on Reservations I instead of assimilating them into our society. Other groups have melded yet still retained their heritage.

Pearl Harbor: We forced Japan into attacking us because of the US being racist and repressing their national ambitions. MY God folks, they attacked us, they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Asian men, women and children and we're the racists? Revisionists say that the only reason we nuked Japan was because they weren’t white. Did they ever think of how many lives would have been lost if we had had to invade Japan like we did Germany? How much longer the war would have lasted?

These are jus a couple of example of out our History is being distorted to further the Progressive Agenda to destroy our National Heritage and to weaken us further as a nation. We are nation of many that are as one; or at least we should be.
