No Longer A Republican

I would never, ever be a Democrat. I would sooner
die. However, the Republican party has continually
let me down by ignoring the Conservatives of the party.
They have no one to face Obama and if he should win
again, I will leave the country.

So, now I am looking into the Tea Party which seems
to pay attention to it's members. I am done with the
Republicans and sorely disappointed in John Boehner.

On a lighter note, WAY TO GO SEAL TEAM SIX IN
KILLING OSAMA BIN LADEN. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

Not Care

I swear, there must not be one person out there that cares about what's happening to our country and in the world because I still have not received any comments from anybody on any of it.

So, when it all goes down the toilet and I am living in a different country, don't come crying to me

"NOT INVOLVED"

We were told when we sent troops to sit off Lybia (mostly Marines I believe), basically, 'we are not going to have troops on the ground or become involved in any way'.  I swear these people love to lie. I heard this morning on the news that we sent Drone(s) over Lybian airspace.  Did not hear if we did anything or just some pictures.  But, guess what??  That makes us involved!!!!  We need to get out of there and get out of there now.

Anybody remember Somalia and that mess?  The Baltic states (former Yugoslavia) and that mess?  Do we honestly want to do that and go through that again??  Absolutely not. I believe there is a time and place when war or military intervention is needed by the United States, but this is definitely not one of those times!!

And when the time comes, and it will, will Obama help Israel?  Nope.

Gettysburg Address

I just listened to President Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address again and it so moved me (as always).  However, I thought that the with our country "dying" as I read someone say earlier and because we are essentially losing our country to these Socialists/Marxists/Communists/Neo-Nazi's, that they needed reminded who they work for and we can hire them or fire them.

Also, I think it is a good boost for us, The People; a rally cry.  Read it. Read it again.  Print it off and post it somewhere to remind you.  Highlight was is special to you in the speech.  NOW, we need to get to work and I hope this speech will inspire you who aren't working to save our country and encourage those who already are working on it!

THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

HELLO??? IS EVERYONE OUT THERE DEAD???

I am getting ready to hit the hay and I was looking over my blog.  I realized that hardly EVER does anyone comment on it at all.  Do you not read my blog?  Not like my blog?  Have nothing to say? I have said some pretty "hot issues" and not one word from you out there?

What's the deal?  I write about what I think needs to be written about whether people like it or not.  However, I don't know if people do not like it or not because NOBODY COMMENTS!

PLEASE,PLEASE COMMENT.  I love the feedback. And besides, I am wondering if people really care about what I am writing about at that particular time; some, lately most, are SERIOUS issues.  Are you dead out there? Don't care? Like watching your country go down the toilet? What?

Goodnight.

Hahaha!, Lybia, and Credit Rating

I think it's absolutely hilarious that Obama got caught live yelling at a reporter and EVERYONE heard it!!!  It just shows his truly colors once again.  They are coming through more and  more; have you noticed?  And he still treats the American people as though we are the  dumbest people on earth with the way he "talks" to us.

We have no business being "involved" in Lybia!  The only reason we are is because Obama and Qaddafi are best buds and both Muslims.  My serious concern is that when all these Middle East countries quit fighting amongst themselves (in their own countries), guess where they are all going to go?  Israel.  And who does Obama despise?  Israel?  We are in such deep trouble.

Our credit rating was dropped to the negative as a country.  I heard on FoxNews yesterday from a financial analyst that on paper, we are basically a "Third World Country"!  Geez.  Way to go Obama! And yet he's still printing money in the basement of the White House which, say it with me, DEVALUES the dollar.  Most European countries won't even accept dollars anymore! 

Socialist, Communist, Neo-Nazi?

The Singles Post

Well, I will say here what I said on fb.  I am disappointed that there has been no response, except one, about my posting on Sunday about Singles and the Churches.  I did not hear from one Christian (except the one I mentioned) or even one Church.  I am astounded!

Do we (singles) not matter to you as a Church Body?  Should we not be able to have time to fellowship together as singles?  I feel like we do not matter in the church.  If you're single and even close to 40 or over, well, forget it, we're not going to have any single activities for you.

So, I guess its back to the bars and nightclubs.  Way to go Churches!

Singles in the Church

I asked this question on facebook yesterday and did not receive any responses.  So, I thought I would try here and see if it provoked any response.

I am in my early 40s and single.  I have been looking for a singles group at a church.  I like my church and would like to stay there, however, they have no singles group either (and they are big enough for one).  I have been attending there for almost 1 1/2 yrs off and on and asked several times about a singles group and they keep saying they are working on it, but so far nothing.  I really feel like I need it.  I have been single for 3 yrs now and its time.

So, I called around to some other decent sized churches here in town, and nope, they do not have singles groups.  Then I called several large churches in the city next to us (which is bigger of course) and some of them do have singles groups, but they are only for those in their 20s and 30s, they do not allow anyone older in the group.

So, here is my thing.  Why are churches basically ignoring those of us who are over 40 and single??  Do they not think that we need fellowship and time with each other? Are we supposed to go to church and wear name tags that say 'Hi, I am single'.  I do not understand why churches are not reaching out to this group of people.  They are missing out (the churches).

We need a singles group as much as the younger groups.  We've experienced life; some of us have been married and divorced, widowed or what-have-you.  It would enrich us to be able to get together and share our stories, some of us are still hurting, but also just talk about daily things and HAVE FUN!

So, can anyone answer me why churches seem to ignore those who are single and over 40?  I do not understand it at all.  They have things for kids, teens, young adults, etc., but nothing for us. It really kind of hurts me that there is nothing there for us.  Where are we supposed to turn to? Bars? Dance clubs?  The lonely hearts club??  I am truly at a loss.

Please, please, if someone has an answer or suggestions, please let me know because I do not know where to turn to from here. I honestly don't.

Obama

I would like to know why Obama is getting away with not asking Congress beforehand or speaking to the American people till 10 DAYS afterwards concerning Lybia!  If this were a Republican, the Dems would be having a huge fit! Why does Obama get a pass?

Did he just wake up one day and say, 'Oh, I think I will send troops to Lybia'?  There are I don't know how many of our planes in the region, 2,000 Marines on their way and "secret" boots on the ground already! Why are people not more up in arms about this?  We should be.  He has yet broken another Constitutional Law!

We have got to stop him and stop him now.  He's already ruined our country enough! If we let it go on another 2 yrs., it will take years for us to repair the damage!!!

I am so sick of his smug attitude and his narcissistic ways.  Its all about him.  Not about the people of this great country. It's look how good I look on TV, look at the sound bite I said and they'll believe it, etc., etc.

GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING!

Get involved locally, state or federally, but we've got to stop Obama.  I am about to go picket in front of the White House myself I am so angry. And what makes me more angry is that I don't see a lot of American people standing up and saying enough is enough!  If you are, then speak up! SPEAK LOUDLY!

ONCE AGAIN I WILL SAY:  IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

Middle East

If Obama says that we went to Lybia on a humanitarian basis, then what about the rest of the Middle East that is going through the same thing?  Syria, Yemen etc.  Can anyone tell me that?

I say we stay out of it all and let them fight it out themselves.  As far as I know, there is no security threat from any of this, at this time, to the United States.  So, what's the big deal?

And where do they all get off blaming Israel for all of this?  Israel hasn't done anything, that I know of.

Give me your thoughts and questions.  Do you agree, disagree, what do you think?  I think Obama is an idiot, that's what I think.  And he didn't go before the American people or ask Congress; that's a big no-no.

Lybia

Why are we in Lybia?  Can anyone tell me?  Why did Obama not address the American people or ask Congress before he and the others took this action?

Now that we are in it, our supposed "allies" in the endeavor are back-paddling like crazy.  So, we are going to be left there with the English and the French.

Obama has no plan.  He doesn't know what he's doing and we are going to end up in a big mess!  Once again the Idiot runs the White House (and went to Rio while all of this was going on).

Duh!

Well, Well

The Middle East is blowing up; gas prices are skyrocketing; Obama and Admin are in Contempt of Court over drilling.  Obama tells people to put off taking their vacations and then someone from their family went to Colorado to ski!

He has not said a word about the Middle East; about the reporters who've been assaulted and sexually assaulted; he has not said a word about the 2 border guard agents who were killed in OUR COUNTRY (New Mexico), seriously this dude out to lunch! And he's secretly meeting with lobbyists!!

And how in the world did Rohm Emanuel win the Mayors race in Chicago?  Last I heard, you had to live there a year before you ran for office.  Then it was in court and it didn't look good for him (and I might add, wasn't fair to the others), and the next thing I know, he's Mayor.  Guess the mob and good ole boys network is still alive and well up there.

Hmm.  Good ole' boy network sounds like here.  Doesn't it just make ya sick?

Egypt

What will happen in Egypt?  What will it mean to that country?  What will it mean to the Middle East?  What will it be to our country.  Pay attention to what is happening there.

New RNC Chairman

We have a new Republican National Committee Chairman.  He is Reince Preibus from Wisconsin. I am glad to be rid of Mr. Steele.  He seemed more interested in 'face time' and running up the RNC's debt than anything else.

As I understand it, the Chairman of the RNC's job is more 'behind the scenes'.  I think and hope that Mr. Preibus' first order of business will be to get us out of debt.  This debt in inexcusable.

Then I think his second order of business should be to encourage those who have a chance, to run for President in 2012 (next year).  It is coming up fast.  Then, to stand behind State and Local races on the Republican side.

I think that the Party needs to be more open to including the true Conservatives as well as the Tea Party. That popped up because the Conservatives and others didn't feel like they were being included or heard.  So, Mr. Preibus, please listen to us and consider what we have to say.

May God bless you as you begin your new job.  May you seek His guidance, His wisdom, and most of all, His direction.

May God Bless America.

Arizona

My heart and sympathies go out to those who were injured and killed in the Arizona shooting.  I especially feel a heavy heart over the little girl who was just beginning her life.  To be born on 9/11, such an awful day, and to die on such an awful day, must be more than her parents can bear.  They and everyone else is in my thoughts and prayers and I pray they feel the Lord's presence around them.

I must speak a word about how Congress, particularly the Democrats, are behaving after this incident. Have they forgotten the Constitution?  Have they forgotten the 2nd Amendment?  Making more laws is not going to stop the bad guys from still obtaining guns and other weapons. Get a grip.

May the Lord Bless and Keep Everyone involved in this incident; the injured, the dead, their families, and even those who helped.

A Sad Goodbye

A sad goodbye to Major Dick Winters whose inspiration was part of "Band of Brothers". He died on January 2nd of this year of Parkinson Disease.  Thank you for your service Major Winters and a big salute to you!  We admired your tenacity and will miss you! God Bless you and all of the "Boys" of Easy Company.

So long Major Winters, you will always be in our hearts, as will the rest of Easy Company.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!

Happy New Year 2011! Isn't it amazing how fast time flies! I pray that this year is better than last year, whatever your situation. I pray the Lord blesses you and yours and that you listen to Him when He speaks to you.
Bless your neighbors and friends. If they are in need, help them if you can. Sometimes they just need someone to listen. Be careful out there! Get out there and change the world!Chis Tomlin: God of thie Cityhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uzDJ6yQVPw

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!  For Christmas, I wanted to share "Silent Night" with you in German.  For most, if not all of my family, it was our native tongue before we came to America.  Enjoy, you know the tune!

DEUTSCH Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818 Words: Joseph Mohr, 1816/1818 Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Hirten erst kundgemacht Durch der Engel Halleluja, Tönt es laut von fern und nah: Christ, der Retter ist da! Christ, der Retter ist da! Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund, Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'. Christ, in deiner Geburt! Christ, in deiner Geburt! Heute singt man nur die Strophen 1, 6 und 2 (oben) von der originellen Joseph-Mohr-Version (1816).

ENGLISH Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818 Words: John Freeman Young, 1863 Silent night, holy night All is calm all is bright 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Today only verses 1, 6 and 2 (above) from the original Joseph Mohr version (1816) are sung.
