Respect for God's Creation

     I'm surrounded by all types of people; Indian, Black, Mexican and then theirs me!  We are sitting in a coffee shop and just finished having a light breakfast.  The smells are incredible!  The coffee is great and extremely hot, just like I like it.  The cranberry muffin was perfect!  My Love has gone to get the car while I sit admiring my beautiful roses and drinking my coffee!  What a wonderful morning!
     Let's get back to the people.  Hardly any person makes eye contact with one another anymore.  Only one person who actually looked me in the eye is a boy from India who recognized me from last night.  He almost turned my roses over!  I did give him the Evil Eye only because his family was allowing him to run around right where the drop off and pick up lane happened to be!  It was only l08 degrees at the time and lots of cars were coming and going.  I decided to be the smart one in the bunch so I gave him a glance of fear so he wouldn't get hit by a car!  Some people are so lack in their guidance of their children!  I noticed he was given a lot of leeway of behavior when it came to his sister.  Who, by the way was dying for attention.  I felt this was more like a cultural thing going on and it made me so sad.  In the eyes of God, females are held to the highest regard.  Only man on earth tends to downgrade her status.  Therefore it seems the treatment of women in cultures all over the world want to hold us down emotionally, spiritually and economically just to name a few!  It was so evident in the behavior of this family!   One child got all the attention and no discipline while the other was completely ignored!
     Could this treatment of girls and women be just because we can nurture and give life?  Yes, I know not by ourselves but the whole growth and development stage for 9 months is Our deal!  Bless God for giving us this wonderful gift.  Being a mother is one of the highest positions a woman could ever hold.  You're in charge of a little mind who is so eager to be loved and to learn.  Each child is a gift as well as each mother.  Grant you, the scale is very broad from the top of the list as Mother Teresa to the bottom of the list being the devil's wife!  I pray that I'm secure somewhere in the top of the middle of the scale!  Children are God's gifts to be cherished, although not all are.  Some of God's creations seen to suffer from the onset of life, when their life is filled with nothing but trouble and heartache.  Others seem to have their troubles much later on in life.  Problems and troubles are conditions all of us must face sometime but it shouldn't come so soon for our little ones to deal with.  It's our job to keep them safe from all harm, especially if it comes from us.  It's our growing and testing moments to develop character that shapes and changes us and them forever.
    I just wonder if I made an impression on that little boy.  I was the only one who seemed concerned about his safety and about the safety of my Roses!  I'm pretty sure I did, just by the fact he noticed me in the coffee shop and kind of sat down on a chair real fast.  I wanted to say to those parents, hey notice your sweet little girl who keeps asking you questions and you're just ignoring her!  But I know it wouldn't make any difference if I did.
     Women, think about your fate and your responsibility as a woman and as a mother.  Unfortunately the job goes with a tremendous amount of pleasure and heartache.  I guess having children ourselves allows us to understand how God must feel about us.  Think about how you want to be seen in your children's eyes?  Be that special someone who they can look up to for anything and everything no matter how small!  Like Dr. Phill says:  as a parent you need to be their soft place to fall!  Your job is important and shouldn't be rushed or ignored because every detail matters!
     Don't be like that family, show respect from the littlest and youngest female to the oldest female!  Just remember God is Watching and Taking Notes!

Freedom, Freedom

     Freedom is being free and independent.  Freedom is an exemption from an obligation or discomfort!  Freedom is being able to act freely.  Freedom is having the ease of movement.  This definition is right from the Webster's Dictionary!
     Reading these words makes a person decipher or conclude that Obama Care is Unconstitutional because it infringes on our Freedom from obligation!  We don't have the obligation to carry such a program or practice, to have it forced on us by our government or by anyone else for that matter!  We can walk, talk and make decisions on our own without the control or help of our government, state or federal.
     People in power and behind the scenes are making changes to our Freedoms every single day that nobody talks about in public.  It's all about control of the people.  It makes no difference what the reason for good or for bad, they have no right to force us to purchase or sign up!
     Freedom comes in so many different ways! It could mean as little as a 15min. break at work to a full-fledged Freedom from a Dictator!  That certainly is a big gap between those two situations!  But, let's think about it, what does Freedom mean to you?
     1.  It could be 1hr. by yourself away from the kids
     2.  Maybe lay in the sun on a beach away from the stress of work
     3.  Just a blooming day off
     4.  Freedom to say an opinion about your government
     5.  Ease of travel all over the country, from South to North, East to West without being
          stopped to have your papers checked     
     6.  Freedom to Worship what, when, where and how of your choice
     7.  To be able to stand on a street and carry a sign to voice your views
     8.  Freedom to do what you want basically anytime, any day depending if you have a
          job or not
     Doesn't it all come down to responsibility on how one treats the Gift of Freedom?  Do you cherish it or do you throw it away or do you just abuse it?  The big question:  Do you let others steal your Freedom away from you?!  We definitely take our Freedom for granted!  It was here when we were born so we expect it to remain and never seem to worry that one day in the near future it could possibly be gone!  The generation of people who never had to fight for Freedom don't seem to even grasp the concept at all!  Sometimes when I speak about this great nation I receive the deer in the headlight look, not a clue at all!  What's so scary is that those people won't even try to protect our Freedom at all!  They won't even see it coming before it's too late. 
     The people who volunteered after 9-11 to service our country to protect her and her people from harm completely understand what Freedom means!  The generation that went through the Great Depression also gets it!  All of the baby boomers understand hard work and the cost of Freedom and the big secret is they will fight to keep it!  Amen, how about giving me two Amens on that one!!!
     I'll close in saying don't ever think the men and women who wear a uniform be it police, fire or military will ever sit still while our beautiful Country goes down the tubes is in denial!!

West Coast Trip

     This is a diary of the life and times of the West Coast people viewed by a Southern Girl.  So far the landscape is full of vast, endless huge ant hills or maybe dinosaur dung?  It could have been left by Dino!  Maybe not, but we had fun with it.  All of a sudden, a big pile of rocks would appear out of nowhere!  How in the world did they get here?  It looks like a huge tractor pushed them into the piles.  Can you say, Alien?  I can see now, this trip is going to be a Hoot!
     We haven't had any contact with people yet, but I'm also getting hungry!  I eat like a baby, every three hours or so whether I need it or not.  Yes, I'm looking for something to eat besides Mexican!  Come on, this is still America!  I think!  Maybe not!  Oh look, it's a McDonald's!  At least I can get chicken, my stomach thanks you!  It's only 108 outside, so I'm sitting in the car while my love gets the food so my beautiful roses stay cool.  I know I forgot to tell you about the roses.  They were sent to me by my daughter for my birthday and they are beautiful.  My honey didn't want to leave them at home, so they came on the trip with me.
     Wow, a lady is sitting at a table on her computer in McDonald's.  Is life that serious or stressful that it requires a laptop and a phone while eating lunch?  Pray for the satellite to work or her life is toast!  Would she be able to live without the flat box to communicate?  Let's hope so.  I'm wondering if my love has encountered any English while ordering my food?  His patience is not very long neither is his tolerance for businesses not to have someone who could communicate in understandable English.  If his eyebrows are up, I'll know the answer!  His eyebrows weren't up but he was not disappointed in the language barrier.  He had to say the order three times and it still came out wrong.  Maybe, she couldn't understand Southern!  However, not all was lost.  He found a little humor in replying, clean up on aisle one, when he knocked over his large drink.  This was by accident, I might add!  I'm glad I was in the car!
     Now that lunch is over, can you say potty break and change drivers!  My turn!  I'm so comfortable behind the wheel that I've actually considered a career that included driving somehow.  A constant vacation, that's it.  I could travel the country and rate hotels and the services provided!  I would be willing to sacrifice my job to be on a vacation all the time!  No problem!  Nice thought, but my dream is over now.
     Our TomTom, which we call Shirley, talks to me like my God is talking to me.  I couldn't live without  either!  Stay In The Left Lane!  Go Straight On!  Turn Around When Possible and Right Turn in one Mile!  She talks all the time and gets ticked whenever we stop for something.  We just say, hang on Shirley we'll get on the right track in a minute.  Shirley will be a blessing in more ways than one on this trip!
     After finding tons of sightseeing tours and locations we had our first choice, The USS Midway Museum!  We walked all over that aircraft carrier while listening to an audio tour through head phones.  You just type in the number of your location and the story begins.  I thought about all the young men and women who served their time aboard her, doing hard jobs and making hard choices for us to be free.  God Bless each and every one of them!  It was just awesome!  Afterwards, we found a restaurant called, The Boat House.  Our meals were fabulous!  What a way to end the day!
     I was told by people, you have to visit the Hotel Del Coronado and the Coronado Beach.  It's old  and has character and has a very interesting story.  I like old and I really enjoyed walking all over the hotel, very pretty, very busy and very expensive!  Two days later we came back to the Island and rode our bikes all around the water, the sailboats and the Navy Base.  The sights were wonderful and the weather was perfect!  My love had his own idea the day before, The Del Mar Race Track!  That was OK with me because we love going to the horse races.  We've been to a few on the East Coast and you can't ever tell what might happen, like the jockey falling off the horse during the race!  Our horse Won but had no Rider!  Which means, we Lost!
     We are not early risers anymore, done that, over that.  We like to stay up late and sleep late, that way you miss all the rush hour traffic!  At least, that's what we tell people.  So, for us to leave the room to have breakfast before noon is a miracle!  Mornings consisted of coffee and a muffin at the local gas station!
     I had fun with a few signs out there.  One sign read, A Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was located on a highway under construction.  I wanted a flag from the flag lady but nobody was working on a Friday!  I figured we paid for that since I'm a tax payer so I wanted a flag for my collection.  Next came the Easy Life Furniture Store sign!  I had two thoughts on this one, was it maybe outdoor furniture or was it for the illegals coming into Ca.?  Hey, I can wonder, can't I?  Plus, I'm almost positive that a car full of illegals was beside me going on a bypass!  They looked suspicious!  We followed each other for quite awhile and then he turned off.  Oh, then we saw a big sign, Tattoo Expo!  You have got to be kidding me, a whole Expo just for Tattoos!  I think I'll have to miss that one, maybe next time.
     Besides the flowers, my family went together to buy me a Kindle!  I had great fun playing my games on it every single night and I'll be downloading books real soon.  On the drive out, I kept asking my love, have we been here before?  He always replied, No.  My memories are a little confused or I'm confused.  I've had so many memories that I think they are just blending together!  I told him, it will take both of us to get through the rest of our lives!  We'll probably need a check list every morning just to get started, but we aren't there yet, so no worries!  I begged Shirley to please find me a Red Lobster!  She came through again, only 10 minutes away!  Thanks, Shirley!
     We visited The Old Town Historic District and we even made it to the last house in the USA, which was 4 sale.  We stood on the beach and to the left Navy Helicopters were doing maneuvers and to the right we could see Mexico!  We love anything that deals with our military and watching any aircraft in flight is a bonus!
     The service and the people at our hotel could not have been nicer. The rooms were very pretty and the bed was very comfortable and the food wasn't bad either!  We would stay there again in a New York Minute!  And it didn't hurt that I had decorated the room with my flowers!
     So, I conclude that Southern Hospitality also exist and was equalled by our Western Friends!  It was sad but we had to leave.  I'm still looking for the bag of $20's on the side of the road!  I guess I'll have to start saying the bag of $100's since things cost so much more now.  We plugged Shirley in and she was so happy to tell us Where to Go!  Just like so many other people in the world, but all we have to do is unplug her!  Travel this beautiful country of ours, go East to West or North To South, just Go and stay safe. We'll see you on the flip side and always say your prayers!

Role of the Female

     What is a woman's role in our society?  Joel Osteen says, to Honor your wife will make God smile upon you with His blessings!  To Honor your mother and father is a good thing.  But, mother wasn't just added in to go along with the father part!  Mother Mary was sacred because she was the mother of Jesus.
     As we have our babies, we don't plan to have a Genghis Khan!  Most of us hope and pray our children will be more like the baby Jesus instead.  I feel about 3/4ths of the time the amount of love, understanding and guidance we give our children is the deciding factor that shapes and molds them to be the future adult, one which is either productive or one who is a slacker in life!
     Now back to the cultures, look at the actual religions of the world that downgrade females and treat them as property where they have no rights, no say and no life!  That's not what God intended for his creation as a woman.  Muslin women are treated on the same level as dogs, covered as they are unsightly and never equal to a man!  They are just used as a vessel to have a male heir and degraded for every female baby born, even though the sex of a child is determined by the male in this equation!
     When the religions of the world condone and encourage this absurd behavior, the female situation will never improve!  If you consider all religions are run by the male species, it happens to be their rules and beliefs on paper, doesn't it?
     The customs, family traditions, respect, love and the dynamics of the family dictates the treatment of the women or wife, husband and the children.  Society as a whole has gone down the tubes because of the acts of violence displayed between the members of the family and the use of obscene language in the household!  Personal control is out the window! Rules and respect are also out the window!
     I feel as a child growing up in the 50's life was like the Beaver Family!  A healthy fear of our parents creates respect and a fear of God is the balancing second control of life!  People don't go to church like in the past so they don't have that fear of God.  Children don't have enough rules and control to create respect of parents and the healthy fear that's needed.  So many people I'm in contact with have no fear or morals.  They just fear the government check will be late.
     Societies all over the world want to live in the U.S.A.  But, once here some want to continue the same obscure beliefs and control they had in their own countries.  The same bad habits and behaviors just continue on!  So, why come to America?  It is to dominate our big, bold land of ours, to deny us our freedoms and to deny the freedoms to women which they despise!  Freedom of religion is just that, you worship your way and I worship my way!  But, you can't leave my Sacred Freedoms Alone!  You know, that's what separates man from the animals!  What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours!  Animals can't tell the difference but humans can, we have a mind that tells us the difference between right and wrong.  As people, we leave the other person's things alone because its called stealing!  Stealing of property or stealing of rights or stealing of dignity, it's all stealing and robbing us of our soul.  I know we haven't ventured too far since man was a barbarian!  The man would just drag his woman home to the cave but, man's job is to continue to grow and grow and shape humanity toward the good scale and not go backwards!
     I'm the youngest, a special place to be, of three children and the only girl.  I was so blessed because my parents were hard workers and wonderful people.  The time and place in life was perfect to be growing up.  No violence was ever witnessed by me or my brothers and no cussing to speak of, was said.  How many families can say that today?  Hardy any I'm sure!  We have come to accept bad behavior and to condone it, sometimes to even welcome it's display!  People, we have to get a grip!  We need to get a grip on our life and on our emotions!  Yes, I know I blow a blood vessel after hearing a liberal talk for only two seconds!  I didn't say I was perfect!  But, my views are important and righteous and as a woman I have the right to voice them!  I'm not going to be that muslin woman having no opinion, no rights and no will of survival!  It won't happen in our life time because there are too many baby boomers to resist such an Ungodly take over!  I believe that's our role in the present and future is to maintain and return all our Freedoms to the 50's Era!
     I am the lucky one, my life has been filled with respect, rules and love living that simple life.  I gave my children the same values and I expect them to pass this same value system to their children.  Memories of my childhood are drive-in movies in a pickup truck, parked backwards so we could sit in chairs eating Mama's homemade donuts, life was good!  Saturday night's we watched the Grand Ole Opry snapping green beans or peeling butter beans at the kitchen table for Sunday lunch.  The big Sunday lunch consisted of either Southern Fried Chicken or a Roast in the oven after Church.  A little religion and a lot of good food makes for a happy family and it made Sunday's so special!
     We didn't have a lot of money but I didn't notice.  Love doesn't require money.  My Mom use to say, Soap is cheap.  We had a bath every single night and lots of food, a big yard and a big garden to provide.  Life was good!  I have had the privilege of being a Daughter, a Woman, a Wife, a Mother and An American!  Nowhere else on this green planet would I want to be born to live a fulfilled life but Here!
     The power of Thought, the power of Reason and The Consequence of Choice makes life Worth living!  Power to the Female!  May She never be held down, but held up to be the Mother of Nations!

My Day

     At my job, it's usually Blood, Sweat and some days even Tears!  But, today it was only Sweat!  The summer has arrived full force but it's same old song, different day, No Air Conditioning!  The story is it's always broken.  Convenient Story I suspect!  Every Summer I cook 20 degrees more!  One of these days I'll just say, I'm Well Done now!  I can't be cooked anymore.  Stick a fork in me, it's Over!
     In this stage of my life, my feelings and opinions on just about everything or subject just pour out of me-Freely!  And I do mean-Freely!  I just can't hold it inside anymore.  I've known people like that my whole life and I would make a comment as to their behavior.  But, now I find, I'm Them!  Holy Moly!  What happened to me?  Wake up little Suzy, Life happened!  Where did that sweet, little girl go who never caused anyone any trouble?  She's still here but after a Husband, Kids, Parents and of course In-Laws well, they just about sent her over the edge!  I tell people all the time, I'm over the cliff, I just haven't hit bottom yet!  Oh, I still have good days but, they don't group up together like I would like!  Don't get me wrong, I still mind my manners but, I will give you a piece of my mind now and again.
     I really believe I could be a Hermit!  You know a person who just lives in the wilderness and lives off the land.  I actually knew a fella who lived in a hut in the woods.  He raised chickens to eat and I guess he also ate the eggs.  He had a fire pit inside the hut to keep warm and lived there for many years.  Nobody ever bothered him as far as I know.
     You know, the more I think about it I really love my baths and soap and I love big hamburgers and TV. Now I love to blog and tweet.  But, most of all I Love My Air Conditioner!  Oh Crap, I guess that means I have to go back to work tomorrow but not before I have a nice hot soaking bath!  I think I'll give it another week or so, maybe even pray for Snow!  Gotta go, my water's getting cold.  Goodnight!

The Verdict

     The other news media is declaring Justice is served!  Lady Justice is working today!  Oh Yeah, what a load of crap!  Lady Justice is outside throwing up her lunch right now! How in the hell did 12 people come to this conclusion is ludicrous!
     All the jurors had to have was Reasonable Doubt, not no doubt, not a single spit of doubt but Reasonable Doubt!  They didn't need to be Completely Confident of guilt!  What happened to Caylee?  Casey admitted the child died on June 16th while with her!  Nobody else heard those words but Me!?  Her father, George, was at work people!  Casey lied to everybody all day long and people believed her about not killing her daughter!  She lied about being out of town, lied about a nanny, lied about a job, lied about different boyfriends and lied about a car accident with a ghost nanny!  All these lies one right after another, on and on, buying time, wonderful time before anyone notices Caylee is missing.  Thirty one days later, when the grandparents just couldn't wait anymore, and between you and me, must have gotten that sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs, they knew something bad had happened!  You know that feeling, especially mothers when you just know your child has done something, you can't deny it. We are talking about thirty one days wrapped in a laundry bag inside of two trash bags with not one piece but three pieces of duck tape on your little mouth and nose.  Do you know what that says to me, that it was personal, very personal!  I know a detective very well and he has shared stories about criminals and types of death and the reasons why to me and this is one that is very personal to the killer!  So, now the forensic evidence is mainly destroyed, that doesn't mean we can't figure out who, what  and why it happened!  For God Sakes use your brains!  How did people and cops solve crimes before all the fancy stuff was invented?  They solved it by hard work and circumstantial evidence!!!  Put the puzzle pieces together to form the whole picture!
     Casey's story is the child downed in the pool on June 16th due to the fact that her mother left the ladder on the pool!  Even then, when not a soul was home but Casey and Caylee, when Casey was in full control of the child, she still blamed the lack of sense and guidance and the death of the child on her Mother!!!!  Anybody with any common sense can figure this out, pure common sense!  So, now the jury wants all of us to think that any body with duck tape over their nose and mouth and covered with trash bags is not Murder! I guess the victim planned the whole thing.  I guess the person they were last with which continued to lie each and everyday to the Police and the world is Not Guilty! She lies about every single aspect of her life but she is telling the truth about the drowning and her fathers involvement and the child abuse!  Why in the Hell should you believe anything she says?  I don't.  Why would she lie about most things and then tell the truth about some things?  She wouldn't.
     Casey lied about her family to the extent that it is they who received the death sentence!  She told lies about her family to save her own worthless neck!  People will believe any falsehood just by hearing it spoken!  You know this is true, you have heard something and said to yourself, my gosh, I wouldn't have believed that but!  There is always a but, but it sits on your mind thinking maybe that could be true!  That's exactly what happened here!  The defense voiced all kinds of accusations out there in the thin air about child abuse, affairs and anything they could think of, even saying the police and the prosecution tampered with the evidence and the crime scene!  How dare he!  He is responsible for this murderer being let free to live in society!
     Where is the Justice for Caylee?  I wrote before that I wanted the truth to come out and we would all need the strength to hear the truth.  There is no truth in this case, No Honor, No Facts!  Were there only Liberals on the Jury?  I can't imagine anybody with any common sense could come out with this verdict.  My head is going to explode right now on this computer!  Shocked is not the word I am to describe my feelings.  I'm litterly disgusted!  Just remember, a dog sniffed a dead body in the yard of the Anthony's and in Casey's car and in the playhouse of Caylee!  Do you suppose Casey let her play one more time while she was in the bags?  Do you trust the sent of a dog's nose?  Dogs don't lie, people lie!  The evidence was there, collectively there in front of your eyes to see but, nobody wanted to see!  The jury just wanted to blame a father for something he didn't do!  That's our society now to blame somebody for our actions besides ourself!
     What's in Casey's future?  Does she expect a family greeting with a big cookout or rushing to her with big open arms?  Maybe, she does!  She might be stupid enough.  She might be thinking, they can forgive me for; destroying the reputation of my father and my brother! Or even after they were belittled and disgraced on the witness stand! How about after all of America knows their faces and now their weaknesses!  It doesn't end here just because Casey has been found not guilty!  It's just starting for the family!  Her family is hurting beyond belief at this moment.  They will still be hounded by the press for comments and on accusations of George being involved somehow.  Their life is Hell and she could give a crap!
     I'm disgusted, angry and filled with sadness beyond belief!  Justice was not served today, a verdict was given just like any other case but Lady Justice is crying because one slipped through the cracks!  The ending for this family has not been written but I fear more tragedy is about to happen!  My prayers go out to the family members because they will need all the help they can muster!   God Bless You!

Beck Family Night Out

     Glenn, you are a Patriot and a leader of the free people.  You have shown us the truth and the way and you have taught us to question everything we see or hear, even when it comes from your own show.  Our country is in a terrible fix at this moment in time and it is very frightening for the average person to conceive.  We have been busy running our lives and frankly too busy to second guess Washington.  We really thought they could handle the job since they ran for that particular office.  So we left them alone and we went on living but now we realize of men there is evil.  So many decent people just don't know what to do or where to turn.  You have taught them to think and to reason  and to voice the truth so it's not forgotten!  The respect my husband and I have for you is strong.  We watch your show every single night at midnight to 1:00 a.m.  Only a couple more shows left but we have already signed up for your new adventure, wouldn't miss it for the world!  We need your information and guidance.  You have the resources and the people to bring the knowledge to us and to make sense of it all.
     It hurts us that you and your family couldn't have a relaxing night out under the stars.  What a learning experience for your daughter.  She knows what Honor and Integrity you hold as a person and as a father and she knows the good you are working hard to accomplish.  She also sees how others in society react to that same stimuli to try to destroy it.  She is going to be such a strong person because of this situation.  I guess everything worthwhile is not without pain and suffering.  I would like to apologize for these inconsiderate bullies who were throwing their stupidity around and their power.  But, they have no power because God is not on their side.
     Our Society is stooping to a new record low for Mankind.  It may still be Man but it certainly isn't Kind some of the time.  At every turn we are called names to harm and to hurt but I think to mainly quiet us.  If we are licking our wounds then they are busy taking away our Freedoms!  We can never close even one eye for a second!
     Thank you for being our sounding board for the Average American!  We have been working hard raising our families, going to Church, traveling around the world serving our US Military only to find out our backs weren't even being Watched!  We are banning together now for the same cause to protect our America and our way of life. We can thank you for this privilege because it was only you watching our backs.
      May God hold you in the palm of his hand while you are in Israel and abroad.

InSanity vs. Goodness

     To keep my sanity, I have to write about goodness and the meaning of life in between my rantings or I will go crazy!
     In life we have to walk the line or pay the consequences!  We also have to walk the walk if we talk the talk or we will have no credibility!    
     Unfortunately, we live in a world where now we have a society of people yelling, Don't Blame Me!  They are only Victims of this and Victims of that!  They wallow in their pain as they drain every last drop of blood from the rest of us!
    Our voices have to ask, "What is Truth?"  We have to find truth and we also need to defend it.  As long as we follow truth God will show us the way.  You can find truth in the Heroes we choose.  My truth is in my Heroes.  They have always been my Father, my Brothers, my Husband and my Son because of their strength of character, their courage, their patriotism and their military service!  Let no man put asunder what a woman loves!  I pity the poor fool, comes to mind!
     The truth search has to be extended to include our government, you know the actual people who speak on our behalf.  The same ones who think they can read our minds and our hearts!  The facts show they are usually dead wrong.  Remember you may have to dig deep to find the truth because people will have disguises of every shape and form.  Their hearts won't be an open book and their eyes won't be clear as a child's.  Do your homework and beware of people who try to lead you the wrong way, sad to say the world is full of deceit.  Don't forget, when truth is found, savor it and protect it and by all means spread it as far as you can see and hear!

Notes on the Government

     These people are not law makers they are law breakers!  Back room deals and meeting late at night to pass a bill or meetings with only a select few and by morning only a smirk is to be found.  I guess the smirk is from the lack of sleep while we get the screws put to us!  Priceless!
     People, our Freedoms are being greatly compromised as we speak!  A few whistle blowers are out there but we need a heck of a lot more just to keep up with all the scoundrels!  Since so much is being done without the knowledge of necessary checks and balances, new programs and new laws could come out of nowhere and usually do!  We have to stay vigilant at every corner.  Our Free Speech, our Gun Rights and Our very ability to Worship as we see fit is at stake!  If they can't get some of their liberal punishments through on their own then it will definitely be by a back door or through some other organization.  Watch out for the U.N. right now.  The scuttle butt is they will go after our rights to bear arms!  Isn't it time to throw the whole bunch out of N.Y.? Don't we give them a ton of money every year?  We give them a boat load!  Looks like we need to clean house in Washington and N.Y.
     Have you ever heard the phrase, keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer?  Now is the perfect situation to put this statement into practice.  That statement makes me kinda think of a few people already such as Pelosi, ACLU, Harry Reid, Ed Schultz {he is the dunce that attacked Laura Ingram} and Rosie O'Donnell.  The list goes on just to name a few!  I just realized Oh Lord, the world is full of Anthony Weiners!  People, we have our work cut out for us!  I believe we may need the services of Inspector Clouseau or the help of  Eddie Bond, So Help Me God to figure out most of this crap!  We have to be alert and watch each others back and be prepared!
      I'm afraid the coming days, weeks and months are going to be very stressful.  My friend, Glen Beck says we have to prepare because there will be a shortish of food and the prices will be so expensive you may not be able to afford any!  I went to the grocery store yesterday and the bottom of the cart wasn't even covered and it cost me $150.00!  I had only one package of meat and it wasn't steak it was hamburger!  I believe Glen Beck is correct and he has this country in his best interest always!  We have to look for the truth and follow it to where it leads.
     Obama may be the Liberal's Puppet but, we are the Puppet Master!

You're Still The One

     You're still the one!  Wow!  After years of marriage if you can say those words to someone special then Life is Good!  It's also very unusual. We're still having fun cause you're still the one!  Love takes time, work, patience and lots of affection but not just expressed once, it needs a Life time of special moments and of course let's not forget the occasional well deserved maintenance!  We all need time away to renew and time to rebuild depending on the degree of problems, because we tend to forget our promises we made to each other before God and how much or how deep our Love goes!  Sometimes that Love gets put on the back burner and it gets a little scorched!  It gets a little over done!  Love needs tender Loving care just like anything else important.  The Love of our Life is just like a flower, a beautiful delicate flower.  We need to nurture, water and ever so gently give it fertilizer to keep it beautiful.  If we don't take care of the flower it soon withers and dies just like our Love. 
     We get so busy with the stresses of life, kids, jobs, yard work, sports, school and homework that we forget what started this whole saga in the first place.  Just think back - back to that special moment!  Remember that touch, that look, that special note or that first date!  Was it that slow dance in high school?  Was it that first meeting of eye to eye contact in English Class?  Could it have been that date at the fraternity party or that smell of English Leather?  Could it have been that meeting at Mr. Swiss for burgers or that gentle touch on the neck under the long blond hair that sent shivers down the spine!  Oh Yeah!  I think I'm beginning to remember!  We don't want to lose those beautiful memories we want to savor them forever!
     We need to stop and remember God's blessings and the memories of when our Love began!  Ask yourself where are you now?  What happened in between then and now?  Where has your Love gone?  Is it stuck in a rut?  Is it in need of a rehaul or is it building and building as each day goes by?  What was so special then that caused you to think, "I want to be with this person for a lifetime, forever!  I want to wake up beside him and go to sleep with him everyday of my life!
     Love is so crazy, you can't explain it or describe it.  With Love, a person takes a big chance to show affection and to except affection.  What caused your heart to go pitter patter?  The reasons for falling in Love are enormously different for each individual person.  Thank goodness because if that were not so only a portion of the world would fall in Love and be happy.
     Our mind sometimes goes or forgets a little or a lot of information as we get older.  Wouldn't it be sad to not think about how our life really started and in what direction it took and the reasons why?  It's always a great idea to write down this information for your grandchildren so they will have a sense of knowing you when you were young.  They can giggle and laugh because the times and activities will be so different.  This was so special and meant so much to you that it will also mean a lot to them.  Just by telling the story you might remember something you had forgotten.
     The world is full of hardships and chaos and the Love of a person might be the only thing we have left to get us through those hard times!  Their support system is so vital to our growth as a person.
    True Love is something special that we need to cherish because it doesn't happen to everyone.  Some say it only happens to those that consider themselves lucky or blessed but maybe it's the commitment and hard work that causes success in the marriage!  The language between one heart to another heart is magic, pure magic!  Love speaks to your heart even before a word is ever spoken!  Remember!

Enough is Enough Black Panthers

     Members of the Black Panthers Organization, go back into the hole you just crawled out of!  You are insane and the good white people of America {who, guess what} the last time I checked never owned a slave, my father never owned a slave and my grandfather never owned a slave or my great-grandfather!  Can you add those years up and realize that, that excuse is over!  You can't blame old white cracker anymore!  Pick up your dead rump, go to work and pay your own way.  Stop blaming and intimidating white people.  You are the Racist!  While you voice your ugly talk and laugh with your stupid smirk, you fire up all the decent white people that you claim your hatred of.  We are sick and tired of your worthless actions and your spoken word.
     While I went to Church and learned about God you learned hate.  While I worked at a low paying job to raise my family, you waited and demanded a handout!  A handout from the same cracker that you say owes your great-great-great-grandfather for being a slave.
     While I put myself through college you were brooding about not getting a free ride.  While I worked long hours and made scarifies you yelled only black people made scarifies.  You also stated only blacks have troubles.  Absurd!  Whites have plenty of trials and tribulations but we aren't screaming for the government to bail us out for everything.
     Your own people in Africa sold you!  If you hate it here so bad, then go back home to your original home, Africa!  You think since your pal Obama is in the White House he will change everything in your favor.  It looks like he is trying, just look at the group of people that surrounds him and the laws and rules he is pushing through!
     Enough is enough!  We have known the whole time what was really in your heart and now it is out in the OPEN for all America to see!  You don't know the meaning of decency.  You are the new Mafia, the Black Mafia, someone to bully and intimate.  To use your own discussing words, someone who wants to kill white babies!  We know your Game!  We will throw out every last one in Washington that supports any of your views or actions and those that won't comment.  We will replace them with decent people who actually go by the laws!  This must be your worst nightmare!!  Right!? 
     The NAACP just condemned the Tea Party movement as racist!  Imagine That!  Not a word was said about the Black Panther episode at all.  No Comment!  Of course the White House couldn't be found for a comment!  Total silence!  But the President was the first to condemn a white police officer arresting a black man. Would you say double standard!?  I call it No standard at all!  No Honor!  No Integrity!  Racism comes from the top down.  It is thrown in our face at every turn and at every convenience of the accuser.  I don't know about you but I'm done with it.  I'm over it!  No more silence from me, I intent to blast them all.
     OK America it's up to you now.  Go vote in your area for the conservation who is running for office that will straighten out this mess!  If you happen to see a person dressed in black clothes holding a club in his hands at the polls, call 911 right then!  Go in the voting precinct and vote and smile knowing that you are doing your part to take back Your America!  Bring commonsense and the law back to each and every area of our life!
     Mr. Black Panther, thanks for waking the sleeping giant!  I'll be voting!  See you at the polls!

Worth of a Person

     I've been watching with great interest the Casey Anthony trial.  We have all seen the news and reports of what we perceive happened to Caylee Anthony.  We have all formed opinions on this case.  Who knows the Hell that sweet, precious, little baby went through just so the mother could have her free time!  I shutter to think!  The crying in the court room just made me angry!  Don't give Casey Anthony any sympathy and make her sit through every single gruesome detail especially considering she was the cause of every detail!  She has admitted to the drowning and if the police and medical teams weren't called then she had to dispose of the body!  You will get no sympathy from me.  Don't give her time to compose!  Did sweet Caylee get time to compose?  I imagine Caylee did only under the influence of sedatives and drugs so her mother could party!  What a sleaze ball! 
     I feel so sorry for the grandparents.  They did not try to raise a monster but sometimes it just happens.  They have lost a beautiful granddaughter due to spite and neglect and selfishness.  Their life will never be the same nor their reputations due to the mere fact of being accused of child abuse.  How low will the daughter stoop to destroy her parents?  Free will is a strange and scary place sometimes.  The choices of life are for the here and now and the hereafter.  However, one should remember that the choices you make will last forever!
     The bragging to friends about putting Caylee to sleep with drugs so she could party was an admission of a bad ending waiting to happen.  I only wish I was on that jury!  This is no mother, this is no daughter and this is no sister anyone could claim.
    Let's review the facts about Casey Anthony:  She is a young mother caught up with being a mother too early.  Isn't it strange that no father has ever been mentioned?  OK well, we'll get back to that fact a little later.  Now she decides to basically dump the baby on her parents and from what I gather that was the usual way, to dump everything on her parents.  So, same day same plan!  A big argument occurred apparently between Casey and her mom.  It was bound to happen don't you think?  Somebody needed to remind her of her responsibilities.  Even though the grandparents loved that little girl immensely, Caylee wasn't their responsibility.  The next few days are literally disgusting and disgraceful as a human being but unforgivable as a parent!!  The trust and protection she should have shown that baby was anything but trustworthy!  The surprise story about the pool drowning caught me off guard.  You know that could happen to anybody that has a pool and it would be very tragic.  But nobody with any decency would not call 911 to try to save their baby!  Nobody that has any ounce of love would throw their baby in the trunk in a trash bag!  I want to make a point, if Caylee had drown in the pool there would be no reason for her to cover Caylee's mouth and nose with Duck Tape!  This had to be done to silence the little girl or to stop her breathing!  She did all of this out of spite for her mother, spite for her father and mainly spite for little Caylee for being born in the first place and for wrecking her life!
     Picture this for a minute, if the baby drown and Casey was present as she states, she then got rid of the body and continued to have a 24 hour party!  Her actions and lack of any compassion whatsoever only shows she has no remorse and felt she would never be charged with the murder.  Are we to believe that after the drowning Casey left and didn't do anything with the body?  Of course she did, if not her then who?  Let's go back to the question about the father of Caylee?  Considering the amount of boyfriends and her activities she probably doesn't have a clue as to who fathered the child!
     This is a terrible story all around, the death of a child is heartbreaking under any circumstances but when committed by the hands of a loved one, it's despicable!  The family is destroyed and relationships with friends and other family members are probably strained to the limit.  There will always be that veil of uncertainty concerning some of the testimony from a person who could look you straight in the eye and lie like she was ordering ice cream.  Casey has no conscience whatsoever and she is literally killing the family members from the inside out.  These are the same people who loved her the most and as in the death of a child she has rendered the rest of her family lifeless as well!  I'm quite positive this will haunt the family for the rest of their lives!
     The fate of this family is not sealed as yet and only by the power of God will they be able to get to the conclusion. We all need to pray for the truth to be revealed and for the strength to hear it!

Al Sharpton #2

    Al Sharpton, you are a piece of work!  Not like Shakespeare more like a Horror Show!  Where do you get off demanding the FCC to quiet or shout up any person, radio show or cable news show on free speech.  Wow!  Do you realize it's not up to you to pick and choose to whom that's done to!  Are you saying that we are only going to target the whites or the right wing whites now?  Priceless!  But wait let's see, just imagine this!  You could be next!!  Let's envision this for a minute, if that were the case then, we wouldn't hear you condemning the rich white people anymore.  Or you wouldn't be condemning the poor white people or saying how repressed all of the black people are because of the controlling white people!  Did I get that message right?  I know it because I've heard it over and over again like a broken record all through the years!  I could get used to the quiet but as wonderful as it sounds it would be Wrong!!!  Got it!!
     What exactly do you do?  I believe you insight people, insight hatred and you insight stupidity!  Just for starters!  Yes, that's it!  How much do you get paid for this crap?  I wrote about you in a previous letter but I'm never surprised about the endless hypocrisy that flows from you constantly.  Do you suppose God is proud of this?  I doubt it.  I just imagine him just shaking his head back and forth.
     Why on earth do you want to continue on this frame of mind?  You must be benefiting in some way!  Even Dr. Phill asks his guests, What are you getting out of this to people on his show?  Fame and fortune maybe?  I've hit on this before.  Who is paying you and how much?  Most people I hope and pray, see you for what you are, A Trouble Maker!  But, some people might be using you also, just to be a sounding board to get out a disturbing message to harm and hurt your targets!  Also to keep feathers ruffled and to keep people looking at each other with distrust.  Nice!!  Nothing every changes does it?  Oh, don't think since I said you may be used that you possibly could be an innocent party, Oh no!  We know for sure that isn't true.
     You have no clue as to how most white families raised their children.  You also have no clue as to how we interacted as families.  Maybe you needed to check a few facts before you try to destroy people.  I'm here to set the story straight once and for all!  My whole life, I was taught to show respect, mind my manners, be quiet in church, never cuss or talk back, take pride in your house, your yard and in yourself!  Most of all to be thankful for what you have and that everything required hard work. What could you possibly find wrong with this life?  My parents were hard, hard workers and they managed on the little money they made.  My father saved everything that was left over from a project just in case he needed it for another project.  They lived through the Depression so they truly knew how bad things could get.  With these constant acquisitions of racism and hatred you try to diminish my parents memory and that Makes me really Mad!
     Before your official Clean up America Act begins, please start with the following!
     1.  Rap Music
     2.  MTV
     3.  Reality Shows
     4.  Jersey Shore
     5.  ED Commercials!  Enough already!
     6.  Cop Killer videos
     7.  Video games that promote violence
     Where is your outrage on these topics?  Evidently No where to be found.  No Surprise!  Since you are feeling all high and mighty you want to take on the regular Americans and middle America!  The same Regular Americans who had a rally on 8-28 who had the audacity to have an event on the other guys day.  I remember now, no one else is allowed to go there on that spot on that day but black people because that is your spot.  I guess you own that spot?  Right?  No, you don't own it or any other spot and neither does any other person unless you own a deed to that land!  Do you have a deed?  I think not!
     You give yourself way too much credit to think America would look to you for advice on who to silence!  Who would you pick next?  Me?  That will never happen because I will never shout up.  You need to go back to your think tank or cave and try to come up with something worthwhile for mankind, for once!!
    I'm waiting and I'm sure half of America is also!       The Commoner

Meeting the Standards

     The highest position of the land needs and requires the highest respect.  Right?  The people of the United States of America put this person in office to represent them in this country's affairs by their votes.  The second highest office of the land also requires respect as all the other offices held by our government officials. 
     As a parent, respect is something everyone wants and receives when they give respect to their children.  So respect is earned!   Can we respect an office who explicits bad behavior?  Not hardly!  But we can wait for it to be earned!
     As of late I have heard language used no parent of mine used nor did I as a parent use to my children nor to my grandchildren!  But, the highest office of the land uses disrespectful words on TV and across America.  Respect earned?  NO!  Lack of respect earned!  Yes!  Shame on you for degrading this office and America!  You don't show any respect for the people of this land but, you demand respect from others.  Tonight you spoke about meeting the standards!  Where are your standards?
     1.  No prayer on National Prayer Day, at least no Christian Prayer!
     2.  What about professionalism of your office and your staff!  Evidently none!
     Is this a firing offence for Not meeting the Standards?  Why is it required for one and not required for another?  Is it because your standards are not as high as the next person?  I wonder.  Maybe the American people require higher standards than you think!  We don't appreciate gutter language from your office or staff either!  Maybe the second highest office needs a press conference or perhaps a public lashing.  I think we need for this office and everyone associated with it to clean up their act to earn the respect this office deserves!

The Whole Puzzle

     Picture this!  Out of 100% of Americans, 45% Do Not pay taxes!  Let's go over that one more time!  I said 45% of Americans Do Not pay for roads, for law enforcement, for the military, for public welfare, for libraries, for education, for transportation, just to name a few! 
     Now, I assume out of these 45%, that most use our roads, rent movies at the libraries, expect protection from criminals (here and abroad), go to school and use the buses etc!  Now, let's see, the actual burden is on the rest of us!  Isn't it?  Who is getting squeezed the most?!
     Ready for this?  The survey last night said, 30% of Americans thought Ob was doing a good job with the economy!  For the love of God!  OK, wait a second, let's figure this out!  Could this 30% be part of the 45% that don't pay any taxes at all?!  My God, of course they would say - Good Job!!  They have it made!  Alright, my last fingernail is coming off today!  You know everybody falls into bad times!  Everybody!  But, the government is not your mama!
    Not one news organization has stated this fact.  Legal citizens pay into Medicare!  Those that work I might add.  Not a soul pays into Medicaid and food stamps!  I see corruption all around in these programs, just by listening to people in their conversations!  There is no checks and balances once they start.  Not all of these people are telling the truth!  Remember Weiner!  The world is full of Weiners!  Legitimate people need help from time to time.  Everybody gets in a bind because life can get cruel.  However, this is not a life time deal!  Listen to this control of the program, food stamp cards have been used at gambling facilities!  And guess what they weren't buying food!  Amazing!  See my point!  Tons of young people are on Medicaid and food stamps and they make more money than I do!  The beat goes on!
     How many people do we have to support in this country?  Is this the "give me" generation?  It sure seems like it!  I don't know about you but, this is extortion!  This is extortion by our government because our taxes are going to be raised to give, give, more and more to the others!  This is so wrong!  This is extortion of our rights and our liberties!  45% is outrageous!  We have got to change Washington before we go under for good as a nation!
     Some of the people in Washington need to be arrested and charged with Treason!  Our President makes jokes and belittles portions of Americans.  Becoming?!  I think not!  Forget the political correctness crap, he down right lies to the American public.  Not mis-spoke, or misleads or confused, or didn't  have a clue but lies!  Remember, the press and others say he is brilliant and so smart.  You tell me?  Would a brilliant person act like this?  Yeah, I've got ocean front property for sale in Kansas.  Any takers??  Remember, nobody has ever seen his grades or transcripts!  No proof of brilliance there!
     We have to weed out the undesirables in Washington, the lowlifes, the ones who only want to protect the "law breakers" and not the legal citizens!  Something really stinks in Denmark or should I say Chicago!  The smell is drifting across the whole country.  Americans are fed up and guess what our pockets are getting empty and our patience are completely wearing out!  We are being used from our President on down the line.  Our country supports every nation across this globe.  We have an endless credit card for just about any project and purpose.  Somebody with guts needs to rip this power away and shred it!  Got it!  Which part of the puzzle are you?  Are you the giver or are you the taker?

Weinie Roast

     Sorry, I can't help it, I have to say my peace.  You asked for it so you're going to get it.  God works in mysterious ways doesn't he, to remove people from their comfortable pedestal!  Secrets, secrets, the world if full of secrets!  But, sometimes they rear their ugly head!  Although, he said, It was just a joke!  No, you made yourself the joke!
     Now, let's considered the reasons why he needs to be gone!  I wrote an article a few weeks ago about character in which I stated, character matters!  Reason #1.  The character of a person is extremely important.  It portrays his leadership skills if he happens to hold an official office.  If you don't care about character, then you must not give a hoot about judgements and decisions a person makes to shape the world we live in.  They have the power to mold and change the world for good or for bad.  We need people in this position that have the ethical strength to carry out the best decisions for the American people!   I don't care that he's a sleaze bag on his own time but, not when he works for the American people!  We need people in Washington that are distinguished and honest and ones that have good moral character, not this kind of crap!
     Reason #2.  If you looked at the photos closely, you might notice where these fun memories were made.  It kinda looks like his office!  Oops!  He should have made sure the background didn't show any evidence that he really wasn't working for us that day!  Or was he taking a lunch break?  I doubt it.  Maybe using the tax payers money never crossed your mind because sleaze ball you were on my dime at that moment!
     Reason #3.  You are a liar!  Guess what we can not trust you ever again!  I'm not saying I ever trusted you before but, definitely never again!  You are not just a liar but, a bold face liar!  That takes, well you know what it takes.  I feel sorry for your wife.  You should be ashamed.
     Reason #4.  Your job is to handle problems, to problem solve.  However, you were too busy handling your own problem.  While New York and the rest of America thought our back was covered, you were removing your covers for anybody to see!
     Reason #5.  People, don't think that since this man is from New York, that he only represents New York.  When the 434, with one idiot, members of the House votes, it effects all of America!  We must not accept this kind of behavior from anyone at any time.  He should have resigned but, his character is lacking in substance where he doesn't have enough Honor to resign.  Remember, his reputation and everyone else in Washington is a reflection of us!  Is this how you want to be viewed by the world and others?  I don't!
     Reason #6.  Pack your bags, you Jack Wagon!

Day of Reckoning

     Wake up people!  Hell--lo!!  Something stinks in this Arab Spring!  It certainly isn't flowers!  Have you seen the protests and the yelling, "Death to America" and "Death to Israel"!?  They really mean this crap!  This situation is so dangerous.  Just like the comment in one of my favorite movies, in a nano second this could get out of hand and start something really nasty.  People are protesting all over the world, a few for good but, most of the mob is yelling this garbage that's pure unadulterated Evil!  It breeds Evil and festers just like an infected sore!  The bigger the crowd the more radicals jump on the band wagon to add to the crazies.  They are nut cases!  Pure and simple!  The sore just gets bigger and oozes more and more pus!  The only way to stop it is to be prepared to lance the infection and drain it.  These nut cases are going to strike by any means possible to kill our Religion, our Freedoms and our way of life in America.  We need to be singing from the roof tops, be prepared and don't be deceived!  Open your eyes!
     Liberals, you will be the most surprised!  The communists and socialist are totally on board with the switch'O change'O of our society.  But, for the life of me, I can't understand their logic.  What do they think will happen to them?  Do they assume they will retain all the power?  I guess a big power struggle would ensue!  I'm sure they will all fight amongst themselves for a piece of the cheese!  Back to what stinks! 
     The world changers are already working behind the scenes as we speak.  They are passing laws without going through the proper channels!  Or making policy behind closed doors in the middle of the night with only a chosen few.  Then not enforcing laws on the books because they just don't agree with that particular policy.  Going after states who are just protecting their welfare resulting from the lack of participation from the feds!  And that ladies and gents is just our government we're talking about!  Whose side are they on any way?  It sure doesn't feel like my side!
     Another point I would like to make that has bothered me for two years.  I thought the President was the President for all of America!  We have one that calls people of America names!  He takes sides before ever knowing all the facts like calling our police acting stupidly!  Wow, imagine our President saying this.  He downgrades the tea party members as if they were criminals!  Is it because they are mostly white folks?  You bet and you can take that to the bank because it's true!  I've known this fact from the first day , the Inauguration Day!  A lot of people missed it all together!  In fact, most never paid attention to the words, but I did.  I happened to be off that day and I listened to every syllable.  That day topped the list as one of the most depressing days ever!  This President was not going to be for the people, only for some of the people!  His gutter talk only continues to be demeaning and degrading of some Americans!  It goes all the way back to that famous Rev. Wright's Church.  If you can call him a Reverend.  My church never proclaimed such outrageous filth.  But, we've been instructed well, that's just the black heritage, they have a right to say, down with the repressive, white slave masters during a Sunday sermon where the topic should be about Jesus and God!  The topic of race nor damning the USA never came up at my church on any Sunday!!!  You breed hatred and contempt for the whites and racism is your middle name!!  So, if the whole congregation is amening all the slanderous remarks, then the indoctrination continues!  The crap goes on and on.  When any decent black person doesn't agree with your beliefs they are attacked, ridiculed and almost destroyed.  I'm so proud of them standing up for goodness and reason.  Don't sacrifice your principals!  Stand strong and we will stand with you 100%.  In case, you were under a rock or missed the speech I'm referring to, this is what happened on Day I.  Hold on to your seat belts, this is going to be a long dissertation!
     White, do what's right!!!  What the hell does that mean?  Are you trying to unite us as a country, or are you trying to drive a nail in the coffin?!  I worked for what I needed and certainly worked for what I wanted!  I never expected my parents to send me to college and never thought "my government" should send me either!
     Or does it mean?  I go to a church that promotes Hate and Racism?  I never ever heard one word against another race or using God's name in vain in my church!  Are you kidding me?  Do you think we are stupid?  I'm so sick of this I could pull my fingernails off.  Where is your Honor?  Where is your Honesty?  Stand up for this person!  Stop the people who steal our money and our dignity in Washington.  I'm not going to work hard my whole life to send every kid to college or for every Tom, Dick or Harry to have an easier life.  They can get a job!  Here is a clue - work for it or do without!  They will feel better about themselves and make better grades.  It's been proven over and over.  We are not a welfare state!  This will ruin our country!
     My family worked hard and were good, good people and you let this statement go into your first words as President.  I lost all respect at that very moment.  What were you trying to do impress your followers?  It is people in your church that promotes racism.  It's disgusting!  It's fed like a disease.  You learn what you live and you live what you learn!
     Why do you have to be called an African American?  I'm an English, Irish, French and German descendant but, I call myself, An American!  We can never unite as one country until we call ourselves "Americans"!  Don't accuse me or my family of having a slave or mistreating black people!  I've never known any family that did either!  I don't need to appease nor apologize for any action in my background!  Can you say the same?
     You have left out one very important person!  Stand up for the person who lives a quiet life working hard, who serves in the military, raises a family, who goes to church, a person who in good times and bad makes choices that are honest and deals with the consequences of those choices no matter what color!  A person who takes responsibility of those choices and most of all, the people who love this Country!  I do not want my grandchildren raised where people are not held accountable.  I was raised to say Yes' Sir and No' Sir and to have respect for everybody!  That's what We, The Little People, expect the very least of you in Washington!!

         NO!  YOU DO WHAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!

Laughter

     The word laughter in the dictionary means, sounds indicating merriment or expressing amusement by making an impromptu sound.   That doesn't sound very funny does it?  That noise can be one that grates on your nerves or such a happy sound that you have to laugh also.
     What I need is a night full of laughter.  What a wonderful phrase, to be laughing all night.  The stress disappears, all the muscles relax and all the tension goes to another dimension!  Not to be revisited or heard from until another day.  If you are laughing tonight there must be love present also because, you can't have one without the other.  You might be sharing a conversation with a friend or it could be the love and closeness of a brother or sister.  It could be the supportive and respectful love of a parent.  The sweetness and love of a grandchild.  Just the innocence alone makes you laugh.  And of course the romantic love.  There is nothing that even compares to this form of love.  God blessed us in so many ways!  Laughter gets us through some mighty hard times and situations especially when it is with your significant other!  It certainly softens any tense conversation and also any mean streaks of a loved one!  Make a joke and make them laugh, it works! 
     Laughter also helps any embarrassing moments!  It also helps if we can laugh at our selves but, that is really one of the hardest things to do.  I guess by laughing we actually are admitting that we did something stupid!  But, that's OK we are only human.  As humans, we must interact thousands if not millions of times a day with another human being depending on your job.  Some people have solitary jobs or work at home so they won't have the exposure.  It doesn't matter though because we still do crazy things that causes someone to laugh.  You know if you cause others to have a chuckle, more power to ya!  By doing this, you have just managed to relax everyone around you at that very moment in time. Their blood pressure and their anxiety just improved tremendously thanks to you!  So, go ahead be silly, be crazy and don't worry about being laughed at for something stupid!  We definitely could use more laughter in this world.  Just consider yourself a healer of sorts!  If only for a moment in time, you are helping!   Keep laughing!!!  Stop it, stop it, my side hurts!!

2012 Election

     I'm sitting in my living room after being on my feet all day long during which I'm
encouraged to produce, produce!  I'm listening to people on TV who supposedly are well educated tell me why "The Donald" is not prepared to run for President!  It seems he has no experience!  Well!  Well!  I think it is time to get the notebook out.
     There is a saying where I'm from, I was born at night but, it wasn't last night!!  For the love of God!  Hold my head together before it blows!  Now, let's talk about this just a little bit.  Our current President has no records, college or other wise, held no real office and God help me with this one "was a community organizer"!!  Which qualifies you for what?  Having a corner yard sale?  Having a basket party at your house?  He never governed a state, county or the local pub!  Where is his experience?  No where!  Oh, I know he was a Senator for two years and voting present I guess that means the seat is occupied or does it?  Exactly my point!  It prepares you for Nothing!  Let's face it, people were upset with George and the war and a black man would just set us all free, free at last!  The head is cracking now, God help me hold it together long enough to get this pen to write.
     Now on to "The Donald".  He actually is an American!  Stop it!  Stop it!  Nobody has proven otherwise!  He actually has run companies and made money!  Oh no, that makes him rich!  That's right we don't like the rich guys.  He must have ruined hundreds or thousands of minorities lives.  Maybe, Some were actually Employed!!!  You Think!!  I told you my head is splitting now!  OK, back to the subject.
    The Donald loves this country!                                Check
    The Donald wants our country to prosper!                Check
    The Donald is saying it like it is!                             Check
    The Donald would tell OPEC to kiss where I can't!    Check
    So far so good!
    The Donald will put our country first!                      Check
    The Donald will put our Military first!                      Check
    The Donald is a proven negotiator!                         Check
    The Donald will be fair but make you earn it!           Check
    Look out China!
    Everything, I mean everything in almost any store is made in China, Vietnam, Indonesia but mostly China.  Not one article of clothing is made in the USA although, I did find men's socks made in the USA.  I absolutely hate that fact!  Oops, I said hate, get over it.  If we don't stand up for our way of life and our America, it will be gone!
    The Donald is an open book.  Check.  Where O' where is the Obama book?  Buried I suspect!  And I'm quite sure the Obama camp or basketball court is rather nervous that a man of such stature and wealth could be nosing around trying to make sense of his past and present.
    If I had my choice and I do, I would pick the rich proven guy over the uninformed to pull my crust out of a situation anytime!!  And people believe me when I say ,"We are now in a deep do Situation."  Right Now!  So, I feel quite positive to the fact, "The Donald", has every right and is just as qualified as any Legal American who feels the need to step up to the plate for that big home run.
    I'm waiting for the next head-splitting remark to appear!  I'm also positive tomorrow will cause me to visit the Bayer bottle again!  Sanity has disappeared!!
  
   Just a note.  I wrote this days before Mr. Trump decided not to run for President.  And I would like to say at least he had the guts to suggest changes and fixes to problems that are very serious.  He also woke some people up from their long winter's nap in Washington.  It's good to have someone shake the apple cart once in a while.  I hope he continues to search for the truth and to influence people on problem solving for our country.  I'm still looking at all the candidates now.  The business knowledge and wisdom of Mr. Herman Cain looks very interesting.  Considering his success in business and work ethics I believe he is well qualified, don't you?  Wouldn't you want someone who succeeds at life to be President?  We wouldn't want a failure now, would we?  Success is a good thing, a very good thing!!!

Expressions of Love

     I have a favorite poem I would like to share:

I hope you live a thousand years
    And I a thousand less one day,
For I would hate to live and hear
    that you had gone away!

     Expressions of Love are so important because tomorrow is never promised.  Take the time to tell the ones you Love.  Tell them how you feel because they need to hear the words said just as much as you need to voice it.  It's a memory that will last a lifetime especially if this level of affection is not voiced often in the past.  Regrets are hard to fix.  Just like the song says, The road to hell is paved with good intentions.  You get the meaning?  Sometimes, time runs out before the heart feels what the ears long to hear or before the heart softens to show the Love.
     Don't get so caught up with life and living that you miss the most important part.  Feel the Love and show it to the ones that mean the most.  When it comes down to the facts, that's all we've got!  Each other!
     Think about this a minute:
You may not keep your job.
You may not keep your house.
You may not keep even your friends (except best friends).
You may not keep the same neighbors.
     Material possessions can come and go and they can be gone or disappear in a flash just like in the recent news.  Your family and loved ones are all that is left.  Make sure they know how you feel.  Maybe they have been waiting for you to say something so they could voice the same feelings in return.  The world is a strange and scary place and for that reason anything could happen in a New York Minute! 
     Sometimes our closest friends and family are the same ones we can't share personal feelings.  The very people we are so very proud of and the same ones that break our hearts apart.  But, listen to your heart because, it will never fail you!

Character Matters

      When considering the character of a person running for the Presidency of the United States of America which happens to be the most powerful man in this world you must read him like a book.  You must turn every page very carefully.  If there is one ounce of question as to his Birth, Integrity, Honesty, Leadership and friends by all means check and investigate every nook and cranny of his personal life.  If there is any fraud or malfeasance then give him the full extent of the law.  Prosecute and put their pitiful behind in jail!  We have every right as Legal Citizens of America to question  all lengths of the person's background that is speaking on our behalf and pulling the strings for our present and our future!  He or she does Not have a pass to slip into that office because of any reason especially because of their color!  Because we are too scared to look like a racist to question values or any other subjects!  At this stage in America we can't afford not to question.  He sets the standards for our moral values by the laws he passes and enforces.  People use racism to get away with murder!  I'm personally sick of it.  Recently I was speaking to an individual about the health care program when another person who was listening, turned and called me a racist.  I was not even having a conversation with them at all.  She didn't know me or my views on any single issue but, still felt she needed to downgrade me as a person!
     People listen up!!  We should not accept this behavior anymore and I'm not going to take it (as my mom would say) that crap is going to stop at my door right now!  If that's all you've got, you lose!  You have run that dog in the ground long enough.  The dog is dead!  My skin is getting thicker and thicker by the minute!  These accusers have this attitude of calling us names to make us feel bad, guilty and upset to keep us down, to keep us quiet and to keep racism on the forefront all the time.  Turn it back on them. They are simple minds who want to cause trouble and create havoc.  This world is full of bigots and I'm here to say, the first to call names is usually the unjust one.  We are now going to be as vocal as them.  Our quiet little lives are going to stop your nonsense in your tracks.  I'm so done!!  The decent hard working, white people (oops, I said white) it's actually not a dirty word you know, are fed up for being your whipping boy for all your problems!  For God's sake be a man for once!  It feels good to stand on your own two feet and work hard.  Sometimes you fail, then you get back up, dust off and try again.  That's America!  That's free will from God.  That's Freedom to choose!
     You have control of your destiny, now the choice is up to you.  Don't accept this kind of behavior anymore!  When you stand before the Almighty God, you will answer for your faults - and your faults alone!!

Mr. Al Sharpton

     I was listening to you on TV tonight.  Listening to your intense spitefulness at the 8/28 March held in Washington, D.C. and your tone on the interviews.  The march comments were insightful to your followers and the interview remarks were only excuses.  The whole idea of the other rally entrenching on your day is so ridiculous!  It's no more "just your day" to celebrate for any reason, than my birthday is only my day!  Millions of people were born on my birthday.  It's also their day and they celebrate their way.  We all share the same day.
     What are the rest of us suppose to do on your day?  Stay in bed, keep out of sight or stop living?!  Because it happens to be your day!  No, it doesn't work like that.  It's called Freedom!  Freedom to walk around.  Freedom to go to D.C. even on 8-28!  You don't have the exclusive rights for any activities for that day or that location!
     You breed hatred.  You are always looking for what is wrong, mainly with the white folks.  You never look for what is right or good.  You constantly stir the pot to keep people upset about any and all issues!  Why don't you preach making good choices for a change!
     You don't own the market on struggles or hardships.  Struggles land on every one's doorstep!  God gave us all life and free will.  The rest is up to us.  We can make the choice to work hard or hardly work.  The choice to buy cigarettes, beer, drugs or health insurance for our families.  It's all up to us.  To have it all right now, but can't pay for it and lose it, or to work hard and get a little at a time.  Choices are all around each and everyday.  Not everyone will choose right, but guess what not everyone will choose wrong!  You will answer for your choices and I will answer for mine!
     Think about this, if all of us just got along, wow, what would you have to do?!  Don't you make a living from all the dissension between the races?  It seems to me you wouldn't have a job if everything was copacetic, now would you?
     I hate to break this to you but, life is not equal or fair.  We all don't have the same amount of chicken soup in our cabinet nor the same amount of shoes in our closet.  Due to choices!!  I might not like shoes and you might not like chicken soup.  We are all individuals with different likes and dislikes.
     All black people are not poor and all white people are not rich.  How much money did you make last year?  How much money did you claim on income taxes?  What kind of car do you drive?  How many cans of soup do you have in your cabinet? 
     Stop making excuses for people.  The sun rises on all of us and the sun goes down each day.  It's your choice on how you want to live it.  People don't have to live in a mansion to be happy. You don't have to make $500,000 a year to be successful.  There is always going to be somebody who has more money or processions than the next person.  But, it's how you act and treat people and how you live your life with Honor, Honesty and hard work that counts.  God didn't say our life would be easy.  He just gave us the beginning.  The middle and the ending is up to us.  We all have heartache, struggles, disease and death.
     We all have Choices!!!!!!!!

"Times, They are A Changing"

     Yes, "Times they are a changing" just like the song says.  But, this is no song, this is real life.  I have never been worried about my status of being an American.  I have always felt honored and extremely grateful to be born an American.  The freedom and the opportunity to work hard at whatever you decide to achieve in life, is truly a privilege.  People from all over the world would not risk their life and give up everything they have to come to this wonderful country, if it wasn't so.
     Being called an American comes with responsibilities.  You have the responsibility to follow American rules and laws.  You have the responsibility to protect her from all enemies and from people who try to degrade her, overtake her or try to weaken her through any means.  You have the responsibility to do everything in your power to keep her strong!  You can vote for the person who will follow the constitution.  You can investigate which candidate has America's heart in mind and who wants to makes us strong financially, militarily but most of all religiously.  Without God we are nothing.  In God we Trust is not on our money and on our buildings by accident. Our country was founded on the Christian Religion.  However, it looks like for the first time in my life I have to fight for the right to be a Christian.  Back to the point of worrying about my status of being an American!
     People want to make this a dirty word, if you were born an American, if you were born white or if you are a Christian.  I'm not going to apology for any of these things.  I thank God for him and my religion.  I thank God for my heritage and I'm not going to allow anybody to take any of that away from me or from my beautiful country.  So hang on to your pants a whole boat load of people feel the same way I do.
     We will fight for our legal rights because we are Legal Citizens!
     We will fight for Free Speech!
     We will fight to close all borders and stop, drop the baby syndrome!
     We will fight for God - Our Christian God to be put back in our federal buildings,
       schools and everywhere else! 
     We will fight for our tax dollars to be spent on worthwhile causes - to benefit all
       Americans, not some that choose to sit at home and collect money!  We do not
       need to become a welfare nation!
     Life is full of choices.  A choice to be honest, a choice to work hard and a choice to stand up for your beliefs!  A choice to take our country back.  A choice to have as many bibles and guns as I like.  A choice to be that same American I was growing up, Proud, Honest, Hard Working and Respectful!
     In God We Trust!  My ancestors fought in WWI, my father fought in WWII, by God it's my turn to fight!!  "Times They are A Changing!"  The people are back!  Amen!

Illnesses and Disease

  I'm sitting in a chair, in a room at a hospital where people from all sorts of life are receiving treatment for various illnesses.  I'm wondering about each person.  What is their story?  Is it wrong place, wrong time, or environmental accident that lead to their disease? Is it bad choices in life that now causes them to drain the system?  Could it have been like my father - who worked hard as a mechanic his whole life - under a car with exhaust, metals, and fumes who developed lung disease and later heart disease.  Everybody has a story; some are sad and some are tragic.
     I feel bad for people with disease and illnesses.  My own family has suffered greatly from various forms.  I wonder how many people would change that bad behavior or bad decision, that was made months or years before.  Was it a life changing event or one of many that lead to the current circumstance.  Whatever the reason here they sit or lay.  Or was it just living life never knowing of the hazards or dangers that await.  I think the human race is our own worst enemy.  We create and invent to improve life and to make life easier.  However, sometimes we create hazards such as cancer causing substances or materials which cause severe allergies.
     Our health care system is the best in the world.  We teach our doctors and nurses more information now than ever before in human history.  We treat after we are attacked.  Maybe, our approach is all wrong.  As in defense of our country we always have contingency plans for some attack from any source.  Our health care system is strained to the max.  The burden is on the people who pay into the system.  The burden is on the person who pays income taxes.  A lot of people don't pay!  But, they want the same care.
     Maybe we should concentrate on the patient before the disease or illness starts.  Improving the way of life before the attack.  This doesn't mean a handout to everyone who walks through the door.  This does not mean government control. This doesn't mean a new car or big house.  It does mean taking care of the body God gave us, keeping it as healthy as possible.  It means educating the American people on the best ways to stay healthy.  Pre-disease care, Pre-attack care, so we can skip some of these terrible situations in this room.  I know what you're thinking, a lot of people just don't care about their health until it's too late.  You are definitely correct.  We can't let the neglect of some stop the teaching of others.
     I have witnessed people enjoying the attention of being ill.  I have witnessed individuals arguing between each, as to who is the sickest.  I don't believe anybody wants to be sick, but once in that situation it seems almost comfortable.  I pray for all ill people, especially the little ones.  They are the real soldiers!  They handle life with grace and so much courage.  They teach us the lessons of life and death.
     Sickness is rough, sickness is so hard.  Families suffer watching the illness take over the person they love and admire.  I've been there.  I still have flash backs of the sadness and the tears are not far from falling.  We feel so helpless and weak and all we can do is give support and comfort to the one sick.  Believe me everything we do is so appreciated.  They are so scared and the fear is gripping them beyond belief.  Fear of the unknown, fear of the treatments, fear of the separation from the families and fear of dying has them frozen.  Only faith of God and praying for peace will help comfort them in the middle of the night when all around is darkness and quiet.  Maybe, an angel will visit to put their heart at peace.  The message may be one of healing or that they will be leaving soon.  Either way the visit is a miracle for the one who needs it.  I've witnessed this and to the one watching, to see the fear disappear on their face and for them to voice the acceptance to you is the best gift of all.  Then, and only then the family can concentrate on just loving each other for the limited time that's left.
     We need to make our food supply as safe as possible.  Check and recheck on the safety issues.  We need to have most of our food homegrown!!!  Double and triple checks on receiving food from other countries!  They don't care about our welfare!  They are just selling a product.  That's been proven from the recalls on baby food!  It's our job to protect the little Soldiers!  Recalls for dog food!  It's our job to protect our faithful partners!  Recalls from our clothing!  It's our job to protect Americans!  Talk about killing us from within!!  They don't need to send an Army.  It's happening through our food source, materials, clothing, even children's toys!!  Stop importing everything we need to live. 
     As I watch the people in this room I wonder what caused their calamity.  Was it actually caused by our hands or by another country who doesn't care about us or our way of life.  We have to remember we are envied or despised by the world over.
     The control of our lives should remain in our control.  Not in the control of others who care less!!  Who will be the next person who enters this room for a terrible disease?  Will it be you?
     Wake up citizens, wake up Congress, wake up legislators this is our chance before its too late.  Our everyday life, our very existence depends on it.
