Happy Thanksgiving!

In the midst of eating turkey(and yes, we still eat turkey, not some vegan substitute) and watching football, don't forget what this day is really about. Its a time to thank God for all the blessings that He has provided for us. Even in tough times, we have things to be thankful for. If you disagree, take a breath. There's something to be thankful for right there!! In the midst of the constant barrage of negativity that we see from the doomsday media, don't let it take away your happiness and joy. The world around us could use some of that happiness.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Bankrupt America?

We can debate Obamacare until we're blue in the face, but in reality, the truth is fairly obvious.

We are currently facing the bankruptcy of Medicare and Social Security, 2 government programs that as is usual with government programs, became impossible to adequately fund. So what is the solution put forward by the liberals in Congress? Let's make a LARGER government program to fix the previous two. This is their solution to everything! More money, more taxes, and inevitably, more government control. Forget about reforming the last 2 programs, let's just throw them away and make an even bigger one! The timing of the bill is pretty idiotic as well. Our economy isn't exactly booming right now, and we are continuing to field massive deficits every year. However, that doesn't seem to stop the liberals from trying to pass a bill that will add trillions of dollars of added debt onto our already struggling economy, not to mention putting many in the medical field out of work.

Of course, liberals try to defend this by citing how we have a "moral obligation" to pay for other people's health insurance. Do we also have a moral obligation to destroy the America we know and love?? That, is what all this will lead to. If this bill passes, we will have lost a huge chunk of our freedom and individual liberty, and no amount of "free healthcare" will be able to make up for it.

God bless you and God bless America

The House of Representatives, Is It Racist?

The Politico reported yesterday that all current House Ethics investigations are being directed at African-American lawmakers, which not surprisingly has drawn the ire of the Congressional black caucus. Some of the more notable lawmakers facing ethics probes are Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson, to name a few. Currently, there are no House ethics probes being directed at white lawmakers.

For the blacks who would raise the calls of "racist" in response to this, I'd like to point out who it is who runs the House. If there is any racism here, (and I'm not convinced that there is), it's being shown by Democrats, not Republicans. After all, this is the House of Representative run by Nancy Pelosi and Stennie Hoyer. Liberals have made it their staple over the years to accuse conservatives of racism, sexism, etc. when they are doing it themselves over and over again! Remember what they did to Palin in the last election? What about the vicious attacks leveled at Justice Clarence Thomas of being a sexual predator? The number of racist and sexist remarks uttered by Democrats is simply unbelievable. Yet, you'll usually find them on their high horse accusing conservatives of those things.

As for the probes themselves, I'm honestly not sure. It could be racism, or it could just be we have a bunch of big city Democrats being nailed on ethics violations.(that in itself isn't very surprising) What do you think? Is it racism, or is it just a coincidence? Leave a comment by clicking on the box at the top right of this post.

I look forward to hearing from you.

God bless you, and God bless America.

Christians Arrested for Debating a Muslim in the UK. Is this what we want?

Conservatives, 40%, Libs, 20%. Are You Paying attention GOP??

Today, Gallup released a groundbreaking new poll that reported 40% of Americans consider themselves conservative, and 20% call themselves liberal. Moderates took the middle with 36%.

Despite this, we currently have a president with Marixist views, and a Congress run by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. These people aren't even moderates, they're full-blown leftists!!

The reason they are in power is two-fold. We as Americans needed to do more. We needed to get out there and promote conservative values, and most importantly, we needed to vote. In many cases, that didn't happen in 2008, and we are now paying dearly for it. The good news is that in many ways we as conservatives are finally getting our act together. Through tea parties, town hall meetings, etc. we are making our voice heard.

What we now have to do is translate these ideals and values into election results. To do that, we need candidates who run their campaigns on conservative values. The Gallup poll numbers back up this premise! If the Republican party wants to regain power, it needs to realize this: A conservative GOP is what will be successful. We don't need a "hip-hop" party, as Michael Steele put it, and we surely don't need a moderate GOP.

For those who say the Republican Party should be more moderate, WHERE WERE YOU IN THE LAST ELECTION?? John McCain was the personification of the "moderate" candidate, and he got his butt kicked. Yet somehow we get these idiotic news stories about how Republicans need to appeal to the moderates and the fence sitters. That was what we did in the last election, and it didn't work!

The Republican Party leadership needs to wake up, and get in line with the American people on this. We don't want moderates, liberals, or marxists, we want conservatives!! Then, and only then, will the Republican party be doing things right.

Jimmy Carter Strikes Again!

In an epic stroke of brilliance, yesterday the infallible Jimmy Carter accused Rep. Joe Wilson of racism. He arrived at this earth-shattering conclusion despite the fact that Joe Wilson essentially only said two words, "You lie" to President Obama.
What are we to assume from Carter's words? That calling Obama a liar equals racism against black people? Is he saying black people are all liars? That is in essence what he is implying. If calling a black man a liar is racist, it obviously implies that lying is associated with his ethnic background.
I'm sure Carter didn't think about that before he made his outrageous claims, which is a problem with most politicians these days.
They don't think about what they say, and worse, many, including our President often don't do what they said they would.
In other words, they lied.


God bless you, and God bless America

In Remembrance of Michael P. Lunden, who died on 9/11

In the early hours of September 11, 2001, Michael Lunden stepped into the World Trade Center. As the Vice President of an energy trading company who's offices were located at the WTC, husband to his wife Michelle, and as a father to their 10 month old son, Michael had many responsibilities both at the office and at home. He lost his life at the young age of 37 during the terrorist attacks that destroyed the Twin Towers.

Please take a moment to pray for his family, especially his wife and son.

And let us make sure, as Americans, that what happened on 9/11 will NEVER happen again.

You can sign his guestbook here .

The following is the article that was posted in the NYT in his honor, and after that what some of his family, friends, and fellow Americans wrote about him

Michael P. Lunden's friends always said he was worth waiting for, an assertion he tested frequently. "They called him the Human Rain Delay," said Michelle Lunden, who married him even though he was 20 minutes late to their first date.

People would wait for Mr. Lunden, 37, because, basically, no event could start without him. He was the constant center of an ever-widening social circle, a member of 26 wedding parties, a hyperfriendly guy in a loud Brooks Brothers shirt who introduced himself to each and every waiter, bartender and vineyard keeper he came into contact with.

When Mr. Lunden was not cocooning (loudly) with Michelle and their 10-month- old son at their Manhattan home or their weekend place on the North Fork of Long Island, or playing Friend's Best Man for the umpteenth time, or touting a new merlot, he was an energy trader at Cantor Fitzgerald.

The night before Mr. Lunden's memorial service, a few of his pals — about 85 of them, actually — got together at his favorite steakhouse, Smith & Wollensky. "Somebody said that only Michael would have a rehearsal dinner for his funeral," Ms. Lunden said. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani happened to be eating there. He went over to see what all the noise was about and ended up donning a baseball cap that said "Lundo!!" and giving a speech about the indomitable spirit of the city.

The following is some of the things that were said about him by his friends and family:

To Michael and his family --

As with no doubt many others, Mike touch my life in a sort of indirect way. My brother and I, Pat, played ice hockey with Mike in the 80-81 Loyola Academy school year. No offense, but Mike was a terrible hockey player. I was not much better, but his spirit, good nature, and constant comedic presence made the season bearable and every practice something to look forward to. I look back at the picture of the team, Neil H, MIke P, Ziggy, etc. And there is Mike, the one guy I knew who perished on that terrible day. May his spirit, craziness, good-heartedness, and all of the rest live on. Go Ramblers, Go Holy Spirit, and Go Mike. Peace to all.

~Matt Seburg

As I say my prayer today for the 365th day I promise a prayer every day going forward for Michael, Michelle, Matthew, Jerry, Rosemary, Mark and Tracy and for all those who knew and loved Michael.

Please watch over us.

Love,
Aunt Susan

It sounds like Michael and all those around him enjoyed and celebrated life every single minute. May Michael's warmth, humor, positive attitude, life and love live on through everyone who was touched by his life. We are so very sorry for your loss of Michael. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you.

Trees Cause Global Warming...........#facepalm

Yes my friends, its official. According to some so-called "scientists", trees are now a cause of global warming. The researchers claimed that the vast forests of Canada actually contribute to global warming. So much for the "Plant a tree, save the planet" idea. Seriously though, if trees cause global warming, then humanity is doomed. After all, according to evolutionists, trees have been around for millions of years, and all this time they've been warming the Earth..according these *cough* "scientists. For us enlightened folk who know better, this is something to laugh at, but what about the tree huggers???



The very trees that they fight for so desperately are the very ones that are destroying the climate!
They'll never be able to take a "nature walk" the same way ever again! They'll feel too betrayed by the towering oaks that they once thought were their friends.
In the words of our President, Barrack Obama, they'd be..."all wee weed up".






In case you still are shaking your heads in disbelief, here's a link

There Was No One Left To Speak Out for Me

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not protest;I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
