Look who is NOT going to dinner:

My oldest son and I are on opposite sides of the universe when it comes to politics.  We don't often talk about it in any format, but this evening I got his email showing an invitation from Barack Obama's supporters to have dinner with Barack if he made a "donation" by a date certain.  He said I could via this method get my "information direct from the horses mouth".   Here is my response to my son which I sincerely hope doesn't cause us pain, but which I felt needed to be said:

Unfortunately, Mr. Obama is not a horse.  Wish that he were because I would ask him only how he can possibly expect me to believe a word he says after declaring (a) he was unaware just how bad his pastor's remarks were regarding this country (b) telling his pastor that he might not be able to attend or participate in his swearing in ceremony when he became Senator because of his "beliefs" and (c) his recent statement that he would have quit his church if the pastor had not already retired.
     Fortunately, I am not deaf, dumb or blind due to any injury physically, emotionally, financially or indoctrination by any educational, religious or political expediency.  I dislike them both and with some small exception dislike McCain as well.  We are at a very severe crossroad in this country....tinfoil hatted leftist lunacy is to avoided at all costs, at least until mature adults can retake their party(?)!
     It is more than unfortunate that the pendulum that began its swing nearly 100 or so years ago and finally gotten America to this point will take at least 25 years to return to a middle of normalcy and that only because of the technology we have today.  But, that is my take which you do not believe in.  That 's O.K. I love you and hope your next 40-50 years are as you wish them to be.

Mom
P.S. Thanks for his email address, I'll send him a copy of this email.

Which I did!

Talk about SPIN!

     I listen to KABC Radio the L.A..Orange Metro station in California.  I almost never change it.  Today on some errands I heard a host of a financial show in the afternoon that took my breath away.  He spent the first 5 to 10 minutes spinning his little heart out about the Left side.  That is O.K. normally, but, this is a financial show and his bias was showing.  Then he had a guest that gave his opinion on why the debt in all forms in this country, which is 6 (?) trillion and growing, cannot be controlled by either side.  Honest, I thought I was going to get a "fair and balanced" explanation.  I know, I know...I should know better and believe me I do, it was just that this was about money...investments, loans, Wall Street...etc.  Anyway this guy (Konigberg? I think) said the reason neither side could stop it was they they couldn't because of the "things" the budget covered.  He proceeded to list any number of things including the fact that DEFENSE SPENDING IN THE PAST THIRTY YEARS had doubled!!
     Talk about a complete fool and dyed in the wool partisan!  This joker never mentioned Medicare which will be broke very soon...sooner than Social Security.  He didn't mention Social Security either.  He didn't discuss adjusting that huge amount of debt because of inflation these past 30 YEARS!!!
     Well, so much for KABC on Saturdays.  O'Reilly and Hannity with Elder and Rantel only on week days.  I'll call the station on Monday and complain. 
Spare me the misspellings...the checker isn't working...again!

Just about when youthink.....

There isn't anything to find out about our recent past, along comes this bit from a KABC Radio, LA/Orange Metro, California: 
          In the olden days when ships plied the wide oceans to bring and take cargo from continent to continent, animals, in particular cows were part of cargo.  When the cows did their "duty", as cows are wont to do regularly, the patties often partially dried out and formed a "gas" which today we know a methane. When one of the crew descended for whatever reasons, the lanterns they used to illuminate the space would explode!!
          Finally it was discovered that the patties caused some sort of "fumes" which when fire was introduced, caused problems.  Thereafter, all cow patties were stored high in the ships to avoid mishaps.  There came a day when there
were signs in all types of cargo vehicles with this notation:

          STORE HIGH IN TRANSIT and ultimately it just became S.H.I.T......

Do you wonder where the word crap came from?  That's for another post.


Just about when you think things always work, I find that the spell checker is not working...but Chris is working on it with the "techies".

One thing led to another and......

     I was in the act of browsing a book site because I have been waiting for six years for the next installment in a series that I love with all my heart.  Not having much luck with linking...why is it that so many sites don't understand that they personally must check their sites to make sure all works properly?  To link is great, but so many times the site just won't and then I get frustrated and switch to another website and continue browsing.
     But, to get back to my initial subject, in browsing the book site, I came across "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and my brain refused to "link" to anything else for a moment.  I sat and pondered Mr. Dawkins' conclusion regarding "God". How, my brain asked does Richard know about an entity known as god.  God is not something you know about just by looking, reading, thinking and talking.  God is an entity, if he exists, that is knowable only, in my humble opinion, from an individuals heart.  There in that place that is dark, warm and largely secret, does God, if he exists, lives in each of us.  And, now, because I am an atheist will I say a blasphemous thing:  God is us.  Yes.  God is each of us.  We, God, lives in that warm, dark and largely secret place in each of us.  The "place" that is "you" uniquely.  There is no one on this planet or the universe like you, or me or any other.  This is the place in each of us where we must explore our psyches to determine who and what we are based on who we come from and where we come from.
     The journey "into" ourselves is a trip most of us never undertake.  Some of us take the journey, but become afraid and don't finish.  Others get on the vehicle and continue on it throughout most of our live until we leave this life.  It is probably one of the most difficult journeys imaginable.  It hurts, it pains it enlightens and will, in time and understanding, give us joy and hope and that gift that is so rare:  an conditional forgiveness and acceptance of ourselves plus the extraordinary gift of "God"....pure unconditional love of self.  Without this love it is impossible to love outside ourselves.  With this gift, we can no longer hate.  We can no longer harbor.  We can no longer ignore.  We no longer long for the riches and power we thought would make us whole.
     And this is the part that Richard Dawkins misses.  God is me and you and you and you ad infinitum.

I see a FEMALE DOG fight on the horizon!

     Hillary's supporters wrote a letter to Pelosi basically telling her to "suck it up" that the convention was where there
would be a fight for the nomination....
     Pelosi wrote to say "to hell with you" that the letter sent to her was wrong and she wasn't changing her stance....

Looks to be a true female dog fight between two old females.  Can't wait to watch!!

Who you gonna believe????

     Let me see, Hillary says she and Eleanor Roosevelt were the only First Ladies to visit a war zone....NAH!!!!   In
1969 First Lady, Pat Nixon, dropped in to check Viet Nam out personally. 
     Hmmmm, Let me see, Hillary says she ducked shooting when she landed in Bosnia....NAH!!  In fact, she was met
by a group of citizens and there is even a pic of her hugging a child!
     But, to be fair, let me see, Obama says his grandmother is a "typical white woman who is racist because she is scared of black men"....color me racist because I am afraid of any group of MEN who look like they are loitering and looking for trouble.  In fact, color has nothing to do with it.  Location does.  In the barrio, in the hood, in the trailer park.  Choose wrong and you lose!
     The Obama Mrs. says she's not been proud of her country for over twenty years!  Twenty years, during which she attended prestigious centers of higher learning, got degrees, got a great job paying big bucks.
     Mrs. Obama says we, the American people, are ignorant and uninformed.  She must be talking about her friends and associates because if you breathe in this country, you cannot avoid being keep up to date by every public, private form of media available, including YouTube!  Where does this woman live?  Maybe that's the problem...ya think?
     The Clinton child, Chelsea, took offense when she was asked about the Monica scandal.  Actually she got uppity just like her Dad does when questioned on anything that might show his actual true colors.  She was also, in my opinion, rude! 
      It also seems Hillary actually was afraid that her daughter might have gotten hurt during 911...turns out she should have known better as Chelsea actually called and let her office know where she was.  No where near it!!
      Oh, the  Los Angeles Times' actually got caught in a lie so huge, that it cannot twist it, toss it, turn it, undo it like it has been doing with the news these past decades.
     Oh well, it does appear that the chickees, some in any case, are coming home to roost.

P.S.  I am not writing about McCain yet.  Although he has begun to tick me off.  Where oh where do these candidates actually live?  In  Washington D.C. where all manner of unreal and untrue things happen every minute of every day to everybody there.

OBAMA, FAMA, DAMA....FE FI FO BAMA....

  Note:  this is my response to Bill Bradley on Pajamas Media Daily Digest today re Barack Obama.....and, my note re the incorrect spelling....

(website mgr: remeber is not correct)

Sound bites, hold to same standard, put Wright in context, he didn’t want to run “black”. Wow. Talk about sound bytes! No, the media is in the “can” for this guy and Bubba made him “black” not the media. Listen to an entire Wright tape? Please people. What part of “Damn America or Amerikkka” does everyone not understand? I personally don’t give a damn what the pastor believes, but I do damn Obama for his hit on his Grandmother. For God’s sake, she took care of him when no one else cared or wanted to. “Typical black man”? Making nearly 1 million per year? If you do not wish to believe that this man actually goes along with this pastor then fine, do so, but don’t make me your scapegoat! Stand up and just say you support him and his pastor…but, if you have any small doubts, listen to what his wife has said these past few months; listen to what the parishioners themselves say and if you believe that Barack was never in the church when his pastor crapped on America over the course of twenty years, there is bridge in Brooklyn I’d love to sell you. We need to grow up as a nation and stop this sissyfying nonsense.

And correct some of my misspellings too!

IMBECILITY, period!

  There are still people that in my lifetime have made me mad, angry  and bereft but none so much as this election cycle.  The UberLeftys have begun to show the people of America who they really are, who they come from, where they are today.  The days of hiding are over because they feel so secure they will win.  If they must, I truly hope it will not be this idiot: Obama.  Anyone who thinks he is wise, experienced, responsible is kidding themselves so hard and deep that they will die laughing.  Here was my thought on a comment this morning I posted to a great blog:  seraphicsecret.com:

       For any one to vote for this person, Obama, it will take the height of imbecility. But, there are none so blind as those who will not see; none so deaf as those who will not hear. This is the choice and I am astounded, still, to see that not only will people cut their noses off to spite their faces, but will skin their faces off their skull to get their point across, in particular, tinfoil hatted leftist loons. If you want a socialistic, Orwellian society established here in America, just, please, say so. Stop with the embarrassing rationalizations, admit you want what you want with specificity!! I for one am tired of the lies and disengenuous words that pour out of the UberLeftys.

Thank you Allan Turner of the Houston Chronicle

  I have to thank Allan Turner of the Houston Chronicle for his article that lets me understand what the "Black Church" is all about:
     It took me a while, but, I get it now.  The Black Church is another religion.  It does
not adhere strictly to the tenants of Jesus Christ, founder of the Christian church/religion.
They, like the rest of the world, find it difficult to follow Jesus' teachings.  And, they
would never certainly die on a cross, although Obama would like us to believe that
is the case for him.  No, the Black Church theology is "hate the white race and blame
it for everything", "hate all love only black" and make as much money as you can
because your black and can use the "race card" to get every entitlement under the sun.
 Now, I get it, nothing Christian about this group!

Here is what I think, Obama

     For what it’s worth, here are my two cents: the bible of Christianity is the story of a race of people over the course of hundreds and hundreds of years. It covers a host of situations, personal and otherwise that allow for “lessons” in life to be grasped by the hearer or, later, reader. It is the story of this group of people who were successful in bringing to the planet the concept of ONE god and it cost them dearly since that time in blood and death through the 20th century and is threatened even more today in the 2lst century.
     Then along came Jesus Christ and he not only died for every humans’ past, present and future sins, but he died to create an everlasting covenant of love and peace between humans who believed in his message and his father and followed it. That became the New Testament. While we may argue, discuss and use the Old Testament to uplift our side, remember, the New Testament rules. Is it possible for a human being to claim Jesus Christ and hate and damn at the same time? I don’t think so. We have yet to fully understand and live by Jesus Christ and/or his Father.
    It is clear that if you truly love who and what you are, you will love others and can do no harm. The problem? Humans are human and too many love money, power, prestige controlling others. These “people” actually think they know best and the Pastor Wright is one of those! The beauty of the Bible old and new is that it works whether you believe or not. You just have to live it, minute by minute of every day of your life.

My 22-year old Granddaughter...OH MY!!

       I have a wonderful 22 year old granddaughter.  Her mother is my daughter.  I love her dearly, but, she is a "youngster" when it comes to what is going on in America today.  I have always tried to give her as many sides of an issue as possible, and until she reached her late teens, she would listen.  Maybe not absorb, take in or believe, but at least she listened.  But, her father, a old hippie and a tinfoil hatted leftist loon did a pretty good job of converting her to the "other" side, mostly. I say mostly because on a rare occasion she might actually come to see some issue my way.  But, her defense is usually that I am old and what do I know.  I should also tell you that she is college graduated...with a degree and everything but no idea just what it was or is that she wishes to do.  
      She just gave her notice at her 6 month old job because it was a small office and she had a hard time handling the owners lack of professionalism and disingenousness.  They paid her $l7.00 per hour!  But she would quit and that was that.  The owners chose a number of applicants out of the over 200 applicants to interview... finally someone to take over but of the two chosen it was discovered the one applicant had lied....they let her go.  The second applicant took the job,  but she quit after two weeks.  In the meantime, the owners kept offering my granddaughter the moon....literally!  She kept refusing, but after the last gal left she told them what she wanted, expected and was determined to get from them.  They agreed!!  And today she gets $25.00 per hour.  All I can say is WOW!!!
     What is the world coming to?  I haven't a clue, do you?

What will they think of next?????

Just read this and though it was important enough to pass on.  I'm looking for my tape right now.  Plus I learned something I've been wanting to understand about the new security car keys....nice to know I can do as the notice
says and get a duplicate for me.  So, I never throw away emails like this as long as they come from someone I
know...I read and pass on what's fun, important or screwy...

Here is info worth the price of your car! What will car thieves think of next?????

The car thieves peer through the windshield of your car or truck, writes down the VIN # from the label on the dash, goes to the local car dealership and requests a duplicate key based on the VIN #. I didn't believe this e-mail, so I called Chrysler-Dodge and pretended I had lost my keys They told me to just bring in the VIN #, and they would cut me one on the spot, and I could order the keyless device if I wanted.


The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the VIN #, and collect payment from the thief who will return to your car. He doesn't have to break in, do any damage to the vehicle, or draw attention to himself. All he has to do is walk up to your car, insert the key and off he goes to a local Chop Shop with your vehicle. You don't believe it? It IS that easy.


To avoid this from happening to you, simply put some tape (electrical tape, duct tape or medical tape) across the VIN Metal Label located on the dash board. By law, you cannot remove the VIN, but you CAN cover it so it can't be viewed through the windshield by a car thief. I urge you to forward this to your friends before some other car thief steals another car or truck. I slipped a 3 x 5 card over the VIN NUMBER.


PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Just a corrective note:

     HAPPY ST. JOSEPH'S DAY TO ONE AND ALL!!!!

A couple of irritating things....

     There are a couple of things that irritate the h@@l out of me.  One of them is the formatting on my Townhall blog....I may line up the sentences but sometimes they don't "publish" that way....
     People who give you their email address, phone number and say "email me..." or "call me".  But, when you do email them or call them, they either take forever to email back or call or simply don't!  That is rude in my book....
     Pop ads on my blog...oh I don't one, for three or four?  Please.... I do not like pop ups...http://c5.zedo.com-.  Same one
over and over. 
     Whenever a government entity locally, state or federal issue press releases or tell you about some new program which, you can't ever get anyone who knows anything about it.  Happened just recently with Governor Schwarzenegger....he actually, well his office, issued a Press Release but we could never find out anything about it.  By the time we thought we found someone who knew the help was gone or maybe not.  A couple of days later we were told that that help wasn't "it"...but they still couldn't find what "it" was...
     People who try very hard to hide the lying they do.  Obama comes to mind, not the only one, of course, but just the most recent...he says he wasn't in attendance when his Pastor threw his hate out on America....in twenty years???
Or Hillary with that "vast right wing conspiracy" which wasn't it was actually a Hillary coverup and it worked, for a while at least.  We knew then what most know now and that was that Bubba actually was caught in an office in the White House, not his private residence, but the office of the White House doing the dirty.
     Not being a nerd or a techie....I swear aliens write the instructions for software and hardware, their syntax is awful...
and forgot appliance or electronic equipment...please!
     There are, however, lots of things in the world we can still like and/or love.  At least for now before Barack or Hillary take it away:  love, food, children, grandchildren, sunsets, sunrises and the smell of a new baby and flowers.  Wonderful things. 
     Hope you had a great week-end...see ya..

Talking to the opposition...

     Most every day, I start out with a cuppa coffee and my blogs.  Most every day, because of my blogs, I end up
writing emails to the New York Times,  Los Angeles Times, and other newspapers commenting on their
coverage or lack thereof on many subjects.  I also email, when I can government officials although they make it
very tough to do.  They have put themselves behind concrete walls and unless you give them every personal bit
of information on yourself, you can't get through.  So, I call.  I am lucky.  There is one set fee for as many calls as I
can make to anywhere in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico, I think.  I have never called Mexico,
so I don't know for sure.  I can call to my heart's content and I do.  I let the Senators know where I stand on an
issue they need to support or not.  I call my local officials too, although that is less worthwhile in the long run
because, like the federals, they never get back to you and they're local.
     But, what happens is that I end up with less time to post to my blog.  And, there is also the little problem that
a couple of my favorite blogs have changed or gone and I am grieving!!  At my age I don't like change.  I know
I must live with it and I do, but is isn't easy.  I now have to go directly to Chris Muir's site to see his daily cartoon.
And I must pay more careful attention to who is doing what to whom.  However, on the lighter side, I do have extra
time to read science stories and tech stories and poke around Target a bit (one of my favorite stores).  But, my blog
has suffered and I have been remiss.  There is much hope this will change.
