Explaining the Inexplicable for my Grandangels

         My darlings, today the Marxist dictator in the White House signed into law an unconstitutional and completely misnamed bill, passed by the Marxists in the democrat party on Sunday, called  "health care reform."  It is not about health care, and it didn't reform ANYTHING. It was a naked power grab by a power drunk and corrupt bunch of thugs, who knew perfectly well they were defying the will of the vast majority of the American people.  So I am now going to explain some things to you, so you will know not only what this means, but what we will have lost if this is allowed to stand.  I pray that it won't be, but when one is dealing with politicians, nothing is certain.  Nothing good, anyway.                          
        As I've mentioned before, the United States of America used to be the shining beacon of freedom that the rest of the world could neither emulate nor understand.  Our Founding Fathers were concerned more than anything else with liberty for the citizenry, and with controlling government so it could never squash those freedoms, which they knew, and we know, are GOD GIVEN, not government given.  Until about 40 years ago, when we foolishly allowed the leftists (I'll talk more about them in a bit) to take over our education system, Americans knew who we were, how unique we were and how, in spite of some mistakes made over the decades, GOOD we were.  Our success as a nation and as a people came from our values: Judeo/Christian values.  Without those values, we would never be able to be the free, independent, individualists Americans always were.  And now, we are losing--indeed, have lost--so much of our freedom that perhaps in a few years this country will no longer be recognizable as the free nation it once was.  For us conservatives, the mere thought of such loss is almost unbearable, but we are helpless at the moment to change it, given the crooks and criminals in Congress and the White House.  We can only pray that we can remedy this situation in November and in 2012.  But there are no guarantees.  The republilcans tend to be weak when it comes to investigating the hallmarks of the left--voter fraud, bribery, and all manner of corruption.  They don't seem to have the stomach to take it on, and because of that we end up with a disgrace like Al Franken in the U.S. Senate.  Pure slime.
         Because of the poor quality of education under the leftists, especially in the areas of history and what we used to call civics--studying our government and how it works, and why it worked so well for a while--many young people, and even people my age who drugged their way through their young adulthood (and are now running the country) do not understand even the most basic principles of conservatism or socialism or communism or liberalism, and do not have any concept of what actually WORKS for human beings because they don't know anything about human nature either.  Because of that, the lefties "feel" that giving stuff to people who don't earn it is a good thing.  It isn't.
         Your grandfather's family all live in Germany.  He is the only one who came here and decided to stay and be an American.  Germany and the rest of western Europe are socialist countries, and they expect the government to take care of them from the time they're born until they die.  Does that seem like a good thing?  To many people, it probably does, because they don't understand the consequences of such intrusion of government into every aspect of life.  It is, to put it simply, spirit-killing.  Socialism, and communism, produce dependent, immature, self-centered dullards who are reduced, as Dennis Prager said the other day, to focusing on food and sex because those are the only two things left that the government isn't running for them.  In our country, the overreaching Obamas want to tell us what to eat too.  So we are actually worse off than Europe! 
         What happens when the incentive to work hard, do well, do better, provide for yourself and your own family, and make your own decisions about every aspect of your life is taken from you by a government that thinks it knows better than you do what is good for you?  It isn't pretty.  The western Europeans have become a very lazy bunch, and increasingly demanding as well.  Give me this, give me that.  In France, the government declared that the work week should be shortened.  Businesses suffer, because the work isn't getting done.  People want more for less work, and expect the government to give it to them.  They complain all the time.  They are selfish and self-endulgent, and that has led to their refusal on a huge scale to marry, have children, and take care of themselves and their families.  The attitude is, why should I?  Let the government do it.  Unfortunately, the government gets its money from the people, and if the people don't want to work, and they don't have kids who can grow up and work, where oh where is the money going to COME from?  As Margaret Thatcher pointed out, the trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.  That is happening in Europe, and they are starting to realize it, but too late it seems.  They are being overrun by muslims, who DO have children.  Continuing on with the law of unintended consequences, the muslims are going there but they are not going there to work and contribute to the European economy.  They want freebies too, and they want to subjugate the Europeans to boot.  Will western Europe (and eastern Europe?) be muslim in 20 years?  I wouldn't bet against it. If ever there were a recipe for disaster, that's it.  Of course, your grandfather's siblings will be dead by then, and their children (who produced only one offspring among the six of them) won't care, because they have nothing to protect, nothing to fight for.  They will go along to get along.  Appeasement used to be a decidedly European phenomenon.  But Obama's a big fan, so now it is creeping into our foreign policy. 
          Americans have a long history of rugged individualism, entrepreneurial spirit, determination, pride in ownership and responsibility, love of liberty and willingness to fight evil.  If we continue to follow the path of least resistance and allow the Marxists to destroy our American way of life, it will be nearly impossible to get it back.  It is easier, of course, to do just that.  But it is so worth it not to.  Overall, Americans have always been a happier, less whiny bunch than our European cousins.  We have always assumed it was our job to take care of ourselves.  We never wanted government interference, and we never wanted government to take care of us.  The very thought caused shudders of shame among my grandparents' and parents' generations.  No one would go "on the dole" unless it was literally a matter of life or death.  They took such pride in doing it themselves and teaching their children to do the same.  We need that attitude. 
           I fear that the ignorance and laziness that has begun to infiltrate much of the United States will be the death of us.  That someone like Obama could be elected in a country that is mostly conservative in values is almost unbelievable--and frankly, what with the ACORN thing and all, I'm not so sure it actually happened--but once again, when confronted with a great deal of evidence of voter fraud during the 2008 election, the republicans...what did they do now?  Oh yes. Nothing.
           My Darlings, if I could give you the country I grew up in, I would give just about anything.  Our Founding Fathers were willing to give all they had, including their lives, to give it to you.  Their love of freedom and their determination to secure it for their generation and those to come is inspiring beyond measure, but I don't think children who go to public school will hear about them, for the most part.  Unless there are still some brave souls teaching in government run schools who will dare to go against the Bad America mantra and teach the true history of the U.S., I fear the story of our beginnings will be lost.  So we have to keep it alive, and teach our children and grandchildren so they can feel the pride and the gratitude that we feel.  We thank God for this country, and the leftists are doing their best to destroy it AND all mention of the Creator who inspired it.  Christian schools have their work cut out for them, since they are often the only ones teaching actual history and actual science, rather than left wing indoctrination into political agendas and junk science. 
          If I sound doom-and-gloomy, I don't mean to!  You are all smart and lovely and capable and have beautiful souls. Perhaps YOU will grow up to help save our country.  I'm assuming it won't be too late and that we will rack this bunch back and repeal their malicious mischief as soon as humanly possible.  I have faith in God.  I have faith in you.  America the Beautiful had better survive, for if it doesn't the rest of the world hasn't got a prayer. Pun intended.  Go forth, Sweet Things!  The future is yours--or it will be if I and people like me have anything to say about it.  To the rest of America, I say: Wake up! We're out of time and out of luck.  Now it's up to you.  Remember in November. And watch those ACORN slimes in your neighborhood and at your voting places.  Keep an eye on things.  My grandchildren are counting on you.

The Power Pigs are Running Wild! Sic 'em, America!

        My dear Countrymen (sorry, "Countrypeople"), are you going to keep the righteous anger over the direction our country is taking alive until we can throw the bums out in November?  Please, please tell me you are up to the task, for we MUST stop these power-drunk, glassy-eyed       Marxists from destroying what is left of our liberty.  They are on their way to turning us into socialist Europe, or perhaps we really will end up     looking more like Soviet Russia.  Here in Arizona, our anemic A.G. has decided that suing the feds, as more than a dozen other states are doing, would be useless, and the "health care" bill is probably Constitutional, and if it's not we'll let other states sue and we'll reap the benefits.  Typical Lefty: let someone else do the work and spend the money, and we'll grab a free ride off them.  Parasites, one and all.                                      
       I'm not ready to throw in the towel on fighting for our uniquely American way of life.  I do not wish to be Europe, but I have no objection nor will I think less of those who wish to leave us for their idea of  the greener pastures of some other country.  Socialist, communist, I don't care.  Just don't try to continue this march of the lemmings toward a complete takeover of the United States by the government.  The government has proven it is incapable of running anything efficiently.  It has proven it cannot make ANYTHING cost less, and in fact everything it touches becomes a huge, sucking maw that eats far more dollars than it can ever justify stealing from us.  Time to put a stop to the nonsense.
       But oh, if it were ONLY nonsense.  At the risk of sounding like those Roswell True Believers I hear on the radio, I fear this administration and its agenda more than I fear our enemies outside the country.  I recognize an attempted coup when I see one, and these people are determined, as Max Baucus or someone just as nightmarish was caught saying last week, to "control the people."  That's US.  They are would-be dictators, totalitarian, freedom-hating, America-hating thugs.  You now have a decision to make, and a job to do.  Whether it's tea-partying, sending $$ to conservative candidates, e-mailing, faxing, phoning and writing letters to Congress--we have a job to do.  All dems and rinos must GO in November, and Obama must GOOOOOO in 2012.  This is too good a country to be allowed to die the tragic death that Europe is experiencing.  And for those of you who think Europe is so all-fired super-duper, read Bruce Bawer's book, "While Europe Slept."
       Along with the rather obvious takeover of banks, GM, etc., the new world order bunch in D.C. are attempting to infantilize our already half-brain-dead youth (the products of 40 years of leftist indoctrination passing as public education) by pushing them onto their poor beleagured  parents' health insurance and by telling them they can borrow money from their benevolent government and then NOT HAVE TO PAY IT BACK. Is this not a "gift," courtesy of the American taxpayer, rather than a "loan," which would imply some sort of responsibility is attached?  Do you want to gift these often selfish, immature enough already, bratty college kids whose vocabulary often consists of "dude,"  "m.f-er," and various other vulgar terms with a dime of your hard-earned money?  I don't.  We paid for our own college, and we helped pay for our kids.  One of mine has loans, which she is PAYING off.  Crazy kid, what is she thinking? It is a bad idea to make perpetual children out of people who should be embracing adulthood.  Not growing up leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction; giving people things for free leads to selfishness, ingratitude--and unhappiness.  Dependence on government to be mommy, daddy, nanny and big brother is a sure trip down the emptiness path.  Empty souls, empty lives, nothing to work for, nothing to be proud of, nothing to aspire to, nothing to be passionate about.  As Dennis Prager said, the European obsession with food and sex came about because the governments control everything else.  So the people are left with the superficial, the smarmy and the fattening.  Sounds great.
         The power pigs are revealing themselves more and more, and being less and less careful about hiding what their intentions are.  We have to listen to them, very carefully, and make our decisions in November with their own words in mind.  They want to control us. They want to take over every aspect of our lives. The are out to destroy the free market.  They want to legalize illegal aliens in the hunt for votes.  They want your guns, your money and YOUR power.  We cannot let them get away with any of it; we need to repeal that hideous monstrosity misnamed "health care reform," which reforms nothing and is unrelated to health care other than to set up a way to make it cost more and provide less actual care.  They are bankrupting America and setting us up for economic failure.  Obama is dismantling our defenses, making deals with Russia that the Russians are unlikely to honor--why would they?  They have nothing in common with us, no values to ensure they would keep their word.  It is so silly to act as if we can "get rid of nuclear weapons."  At a time when North Korea and Iran are increasing their arsenals and building their own nuclear weapons?  Silly. The kind of silly that will get us all killed.
          Do everything you can to defeat the power pigs in the next election and beyond.  Remember what they are, and what they do.  And they want us to pay for all of their plans to destroy our country.  Do your part to bring them down before they do, and this Easter pray for the U.S.A. and Israel.  Wonder if God can forgive the citizens of this nation for electing people who trash the values that made our country great and who spit on our history, our Constitution and us, the people for whom they are supposed to be working, not trying to control.

"Inherent Good": Too Funny!

             I was reading Dennis Prager's column last week (Government Yes, God and Parents No) and there was a hysterically funny comment from our Will in California (where else?).   He insists we stop telling our children about God and assure them that government is the be-all and end-all (because we're "civilized," he says) and that being good is natural just like being evil (huh?) and that MAN is the inherently good, beneficent being who should be in charge of right and wrong.  I believe he referred to God as a "sky fairy," though I read it last week and gosh, it's been a BUSY week for me, so if I got that wrong, well, tough.  ANYHOO, Will, let's dissect this assertion and see what we can do to help you, for you do, indeed, need help.  Lotta help.                                                                                                                                                   
          Will, methinks you've never met a baby or a child.  People are born innocent, but also selfish, uncivilized and very needy.  Are they bad?  No, but they are certainly not good!  The parents' job is to civilize their child and teach him to be a credit to society and to the people who love him, and to be able to function well in his life and pursue and enjoy happiness.  Guess what?  Good people are happy people.  Shocking, isn't it?  So now we have a problem, because Will thinks man is naturally good (or naturally evil?), and we don't need God telling us what to do.  Only, if we don't have God telling us what is good and what is not, we have to rely on humans.  
           But WHICH humans Will?  Which ones do we look to for a definition of "good"?  How about the muslims who think it is a good thing to bury a 12 year old girl alive because she talked to a male to whom she was not related?  Do you like that definition of good?  Or how about the child molesters, the NAMBLA creatures who promote sex between adult males and small boys. They absolutely think that's good! How about people who think it's a good thing to steal your car, rob your house, or hold you up at the ATM at gunpoint?  I'm sure all these people think what they do is good.  If you disagree with them, so what?  Who are you?  Just another human, Buddy.  Your "right" and "good" and "bad" are no more valid than theirs.
            I've raised three kids, and I would have hated to put myself out there as the final authority on good and bad behavior, because believe me, at some point they'd have no doubt concluded that since they didn't agree with me, they should decide on their OWN good and bad.  Ooh, that could've been ugly.  As it was, I had a Higher Authority and the Ten Commandments to back me up.  In case you are unaware, those are the basis for our country's laws,  morals,  values and our foundation from the beginning.  Our Founding Fathers knew, because they were inspired by their Creator, that our rights came from Him, and that government can never give rights to nor take rights from the people.  Granted, this government is going to try, is already trying to take as many rights as possible before the American people wake up and throw them out, but they are kidding themselves.  They are a soulless, Godless bunch, and they will eventually end up where they belong.  Sooner or later.  I admit I can hardly wait and I hope I'm there to see it.
            So, Will, I guess I'm asking you to explain to me just how you came to your strange conclusions when the evidence is all around you that without God (ours, the only true God), man is a sorry, failed being.  You might meet people who are not religious and they seem "good" to you, but without a foundation for their goodness, they could decide today or tomorrow that good is really a relative thing that depends on what they want to do today or tomorrow.  They're adrift, just like you, and I don't want to be subject to their definition of good, or any human's definition of good.  That's how we get murderers who feel justified by how they felt about the person they killed, buried 12-year-olds, people with no heads because it is good to kill "infidels," disgusting exploitation of children, wife beating, tax cheating, bank robbing, and on and on and on.  No human is capable of the awesome task of deciding what is good or bad.  
            Dear God, I hope you don't have any children....If you do, please keep us apprised of your adventures in raising them with you as the arbiter of right and wrong.  Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll behave themselves, whatever that means to you.  Or maybe they won't.  Perhaps they'll be "naturally good."  Or perhaps "naturally evil."  It's really hard to raise kids today and keep them on the right track (wait, what IS the right track??), for they are swimming in the cesspool our culture has become since the left has been working so diligently to relieve us of our religious convictions and moral foundation.  So good luck--but then again, if you don't really care how people live and behave, because you assume they are "naturally good," then there's no problem, is there Will?  Nope, no problem at all.  Your government loves you and will provide for your every need.  If it decides to take everything you've got, well, that's okay, 'cause we're civilized and they're naturally good, just like regular people.  Or naturally evil.  Hmmm. 
            Hilarious! Thanks for the chuckles.

A Fairy Tale

       Once upon a time, in a galaxy not far away but right under your nose, there was a phenomenon called "medical care."  It was strictly a        market based entity, a contractual relationship between a "doctor" (not a "provider") and a patient.  Satan's answer to health care, the HMO, had yet to come into being.                                                                                                                                                                              
       Doctors, once upon a time, made house calls, bringing their black bags with whatever they might need to treat their patients.  In tough economic times, they were known to trade their services for goods as opposed to money; in my grandparents' case, for example, the doctor would accept some of my grandmother's home canned fruit or vegetables in exchange for his treating one of the kids.  This was during the depression, and this is how people worked things out.  No one sat around waiting for the government to solve ANYTHING,  because they knew that wasn't how it worked, and they considered themselves capable of handling their own lives, as difficult as that might have been under the circumstances.
       As time went on, and more equipment for medical treatment and diagnosis was developed, doctors began to see patients in their offices, and I can tell you that not a few people were quite miffed at having to leave the comfort of their beds to schlep over to an office.  But, they adjusted to it, and they could see the advantage of having more tools at the ready than the doctor could carry in his bag.  In the doctor's office, there was a doctor, a nurse and a receptionist.  Sometimes, the nurse WAS the receptionist.  There were no other employees, and no computers or reams of paperwork.  Satan's other contribution to health care, the ambulance chasers, were not yet a factor.  So doctors in this real life fairy tale did not feel the need to cover their tushies.  They just took care of patients as best they could, and patients appreciated them and their care.  If anything went wrong, everyone mourned and wished there had been a different outcome, but few people imagined they should collect a few million smackers and destroy the doctor's career and life. 
       When my first child was born, we lived in a small town in western Massachusetts.  Her pediatrician at the time was the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics.  He was a Harvard man. He was also in a wheelchair, due I think to having had polio as a child, but it didn't stop him from being a wonderful doctor.  He had his office in his house, a large old home in the town where my daughter was born.  The best part of my first experience with a pediatrician was that he had "morning call."  This meant that moms (we were the people taking care of the kids back then--considered it to be important to do so, and a privilege and blessing as well) could call the doctor between 8 and 8:30 a.m. with any concerns or questions they might have.  Doctor answered his own phone: "Hello?"  There was no charge.  Many years later, a friend of mine asked a doctor who was treating her granddaughter a question in an elevator, and he sent her a bill.  So doctors aren't getting off scot free here either.  They have contributed in some ways to the high costs of health care, but on the scale of blame they are far, far below lawyers and insurance companies.  The insurance companies are getting a bum rap though, for trying to run their BUSINESSES like BUSINESSES, which I THINK is what they are supposed to do.  They actually do have to make a profit in order to function, and they are at the mercy of the salivating lawyers as well.  Ah yes, times have changed. 
        Now we have a crazed bunch of economic geniuses in D.C. trying to make numbers add up that will NEVER add up.  I wish I thought they were just stupid, but I see a more sinister scenario.  They are doing this because, as good old Van said, they want to "bring the country down" and "destroy the system."  What better way than to take over the whole economy and then send it down the crapper?  If our health care becomes theirs, it will never be ours again, and the marketplace will have no chance to lower the costs and keep the quality top-notch.  As I pointed out in my earlier post, the dumbing down of America these past 40 years continues unabated, and anyone who thinks this "reform" will help us in any way is proof positive that I am oh, so right. 
         The costs of health care have risen ridiculously high and fast; that's a given.  But government is not the answer, and if we don't know that by now I suppose we never will.  Offering everyone coverage while insisting it will be cheaper is just silly.  So everyone will have "insurance," but the actual care will be slashed to the bone in the name of "lower costs" and taxes will soar through the roof.  As Thomas Sowell so brilliantly pointed out, "lowering costs" and "refusing to pay the costs" are not the same thing, and this insane idea of Obama's and the dems is an example of the latter, absolutely.  They will lower the cost to THEM (not to you!) by simply refusing many of the treatments we now assume we can always have and shoving the old folks out altogether.  So, either stop them or get ready to kiss granny and grandpa good-bye.  We aren't useful enough to treat.  Remember Obama's famous, "maybe you should just take the pain medicine instead of getting a pacemaker"?  Of course the fact that that statement doesn't even make sense is just another example of his "talking through his hat," as my mom would say.  He (and most of Congress) is completely unequipped to handle this job and forcing a takeover of our health care system on a country which has made it crystal clear we don't want it is more proof than we need.  He has to be stopped.  Do the dems have the spine to do it?  Look what is happening to one dem who voted against the bill....
         I miss that galaxy I used to live in.  I had doctors who knew me and my kids.  Now I have a doctor for the past 15 years who I am pretty sure has no idea who I am.  She has over a thousand patients, because the HMO is a capitation set-up--take on lots of patients, then try not to see them. That's how you make the money!  The relationship between doctor and patient has been compromised by the third party in the middle: the HMO.  Now the federal government wants to take over altogether.  Given their track record of running everything they touch into the ground and into the red, does it really seem like a good idea?  Hmmmm?  All of you who didn't go to public school, can I get an AMEN!?
        Keep calling your "respresentatives" in Congress.  Let them know we are not backing down.  The overwhelming majority of the country, in spite of their handicapped educational status, have spoken.  I realize Obama doesn't care, nor do most of the dems, but I'm willing to fire them all if need be.  Once upon a time, in this place right here, we let freedom ring.  We can, we must, do so again.

What I Lament Most

                  In the macro sense, I most lament the dumbing down of my country over the past 40 years, since the public education system was hijacked and destroyed by the leftists in the teaching profession and the government;  there's one more reason the feds should NEVER be involved in areas in which they are not intended to be involved. If you could see the curricula of the public schools in my parents' and grandparents' time, you would be sickened by what our children and grandchildren no longer learn. Somewhere on the internet there is a listing of the subjects students were required to master to get out of the 8th grade.  I know it's correct, because my mother, a teacher herself, told me in great detail all of the things they had to study even in grade school.  Many students didn't get past the 8th grade because of economic hardship, but I guarantee you they were all better educated than our public high school graduates are today, and frankly, in many cases our college graduates as well.  
                  Whatever happened to classic literature (western literature; you know, Shakespeare and those other dead white guys that the left despises.)? What happened to classic philosophy, which we still studied in high school and college?  What happened to American history (actual, not revisionist) and civics, which taught students  how their country is run and WHY the Founding Fathers set it up as they did?  What happened to grammar and spelling?  TEACHERS today can't spell and don't know grammar.  It has been shoved out of the way to make more room for social engineeriing and feel-good phony self-esteem exercises. What happened to basic education about economics and the free market system that has served us so well? Glen Beck's recent expose on the indoctrination of our children in public schools and universities was chilling.  I so wish that parents cared enough to find out what their children are being taught and take control of these insane curricula being forced onto our children and grandchildren.  Or that they would at least counter the nonsense being pushed on them with their own teaching at home.  Unfortunately, many of them are too busy with their work and their toys, and gosh it's just easier to send the little urchins off to school and let the chips fall where they may.  Of course, many of today's parents' were part of the first dumbed-down generation, and now are passing along their non-knowledge and non-wisdom to the kiddies.  Woe is America if this continues--and how will it not?  Education must be returned to the state and local level entirely, and get the federal government and that hideous NEA union out of it altogether.  There's always Christian or Catholic school (my choice), but these are costly and many parents truly can't afford them.                      
                 Of course, how likely is any of this to change?  A friend of mine, former awesome teacher who left the profession after 25 years because she was so appalled by the turn things were taking, says the system will have to implode for change to happen, and even then if parents and the conservative teachers do not put forth a huge effort, nothing will change.  The dumbing down of my wonderful, unique America continues, unabated and unlamented, except by me and those of you who think as I do.  Let the mourning go on unabated as well.

Massachusetts...

        Dear, dear Massachusetts, where my first precious daughter was born (Greenfield), and where I lived for four years when my husband and I first married:  we are praying for you.  By we, I mean Conservatives all over the country who realize that you might hold the key to saving our America and preserving our freedom.  Please, vote for Scott Brown for Kennedy's seat.  I beg of you, read what Martha Coakley is and stands for.  She is a bad person, an amoral human being.  Dorothy Rabinowitz, who writes for the Wall Street Journal, has followed her "career", the highlight of which was ruining a family forever with trumped up charges of child abuse.  Disgraceful does not BEGIN to describe it, or her.            
         Some of the best people I know live in Massachusetts.  We have dear friends there whom we have known and loved for 40 years.  Sadly for them, they are Conservatives too, living amongst so many lefties and Kennedyphiles.  It's hard, and I admire their determination to survive and thrive in that atmosphere.  But it can change!  From the polls, it sounds as if Massachusetts voters are waking up to the shenanigans their "representatives" have been up to for so long.  And like the rest of the country, they are overwhelmingly against government take-overs, higher taxes (they are already called "Taxachusetts"), destroying liberty and punishing success while rewarding failure.  They are realizing that Massachusetts politics is not what it should be, that for the most part the voters are not being listened to on any number of issues.  This could be the sea change that needs to happen, not only in Massachusetts, but all over the USA.
           I know many of you are Catholics; my dear friends are--and though the Church has often come down on the liberal side of political issues, in the matter of abortion and other moral considerations, you would have to be considered conservative if you are true to the tenets of the Catholic Church.  The Kennedys claim Catholicism as their religion, but they fail to live it in so many ways.  Don't be those people.  I'm completely serious when I say that we are praying for you, the voters of a state I have loved and lived in, to do the right thing and give this Senate seat to a true Conservative who will work against the government take-over of our health care and taxing us into oblivion for generations to come.  Protect your children and grandchildren--and yourselves if you are getting to the age of expendability (I am!)--by giving this man a chance to save what freedoms we have not yet lost.  God bless you if you do.  God help us if you don't, for He will be the ONLY hope left.

Hey Fox News! Butt out of Arizona!

Fox News is blathering on about Sheriff Joe Arpaio and how he is being investigated by a grand jury.  The loony left in Arizona is doing to Sheriff Joe exactly what they accuse HIM of doing--"investigating" him because he doesn't toady to their pro-illegal, pro-criminal agenda.  Fox lists the ACLU, Amnesty International, the New York Times and JANET NAPOLITANO ("The system worked!") as among those who are after Joe's head.  Duh!  Janet says he should "leave immigrants alone."   He is not after IMMIGRANTS, idiots!  My HUSBAND is an immigrant.  Came here legally, learned English, put himself through college (no handouts), worked his whole life and never asked what his new country could do for him, but what he could do for it!  These are ILLEGAL, often CRIMINAL, ALIENS, and we, the people of Arizona, are overwhelmingly fine with Joe picking them up and getting them out of here.  Why do you think we keep electing him over and over again?  Mayor Phil "Sanctuary City" Gordon and the rest of the gang who are after Joe and accuse him of "going after his political enemies" are guilty of "going after their politcal enemy."  The state is in a huge budget crisis, and they think this is what they should be focusing on?  They are just like all lefties--they project their own bad behavior onto those they are trying to destroy, and accuse them of just what they themselves are doing.
 
Fox News needs to butt out of a situation about which they obviously know absolutely nothing.  Just go back to reporting about Charlie Sheen and the latest movie news and let the people of Arizona keep voting for Joe Arpaio, truly our only hope for stemming the tide of illegals flooding our schools and medical care system and breaking the taxpayers' backs here in this border state that Janet Napolitano went a long way toward ruining completely.

Weeping for America

       Please go to this link and get a glimpse of our future if we don't stop this insane bunch NOW.  If you think it can't happen here, you are in denial--and it will cost us our freedom, our prosperity and possibly our lives.  We need to fire most of Congress and get this administration OUT as soon as we can.

If you love the USA, you are going to need to fight for her.  Make your voices heard, again and again and again.  Scare your sorry "representatives" in Congress out of what little wits they have.  We have to take this country back before it becomes a third world sinkhole a la Argentina.  Are you with me?  I think this is truly a turning point and it will go the right way or the wrong way--and if it goes the wrong way, we may never be able to fix it.  So be Americans, and fight the enemy within.

Jan 9, Scorpions 0

I really have to get back to blogging in this new year, but for now I must post only my latest score in the Scorpion Wars.  Found a big, red, ugly, lively fellow in my dressing room last night.  Spray, shoe, toilet is how it went down.  Don't mess with Jan.

My Swine Flu Solution

       I have figured out how the bumbling, stumbling, federal government and their buddies at the CDC should have handled the BIG SWINE FLU non-CRISIS.  
       They should have done...nothing.  Sorry, B.O., that this didn't turn out to be the chance you hoped it would be for you to declare a national emergency (though you did declare it one, it fell flat) and grab even more power for the guv'mint.  The swine flu is turning out to be, for the most part, a milder flu than the seasonal flu often is, and all the time and money wasted on tryng to ram through a vaccine for every living creature in the country would have been better spent on the now-in-shorter-supply seasonal flu vaccine.  Or just give the $$ to the people and let them spend it on Theraflu or hot toddies.  Probably would've been more helpful.
        The fact is, the population would have been better served if it had been exposed to the swine flu, allowed to acquire it and build a herd immunity to it, and then when and if it came around again, even if it were more virulent, we would all be far more immune than we will be after this little experiment in government inefficiency.  Herd immunity comes from a disease actually infecting a certain percentage of the populace, and not from random vaccinations fired at the citizenry here and there, but not nearly everywhere.  There is some disagreement on how much vaccines ever contribute to herd immunity, but suffice to say that with a milder form of flu, you will build up more immunity if people get it than if they don't.
         My grandson had it, as did numerous friends and relatives--all recovered without incident and are now able to spread around their little antibodies whenever the opportunity presents itself. I think that my children, two of whom were little tots at the time of the first big SWINE FLU non-CRISIS, still had some immunity from that last visit by the virus to the U.S.  Much was made of the illness at the time, but once again the vaccine did not do all it was supposed to and in fact proved more dangerous to many people than the flu itself.  It looks as though enough people acquired it to provide some herd immunity to it at this juncture.  I and a goodly portion of my family spent hours cooped up in a cabin with my grandson spewing swine flu virus all over the place (at the time, we didn't know that's what he had), and not one of us got it from him, from the three-month old to the 67 year old.  He had a week of feeling crummy and then bounced back like healthy six-year-olds tend to do from most things.  Thank God, and I sympathize profoundly with victims who did not recover or who lost loved ones.  That happens every year with the seasonal flu as well.  But the government overreacted, overreached and ended up looking like the fools they generally are.  
         Don't misunderstand me: my whole family gets a flu shot every year, and I gave them for Mollen Clinics for years.  But this was a manufactured crisis with the flames of panic fanned on a daily basis by the government, the media and the CDC.  It is fine to try to be prepared for an illness, and to manufacture as much vaccine as possible, and to distribute it to those most at risk, but in this case the people were led to believe that this was far more serious and deadly than it was--and I know that people knew it because I heard a doctor on CNBC at the very start of it all say that this was a relatively mild flu and people shouldn't be inordinately frightened about it.  Big, overblown promises were made by the administration and were never going to be kept--and people who really did need the vaccine didn't get it, and many who didn't need it got it, including the Gitmo goons.  Or so I heard.  If that's true, well someone's got some more 'splainin' to do. 
         Anyway, I think it would be good if everyone tried not to worry too much, took good care of himself or herself and of course--because you are too stupid to know this and need the guv'mint to instruct you--wash your hands children and don't cough on people.  I do take issue with coughing into your elbow though--if you hold babies all day long, as I do every chance I get, that's right where the baby's head is.  Duh. They can't even get that right. Wishing you all a happy, healthy Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Who knows if I'll write anymore before that.

We Have Nothing to Fear...

                   ...but the ostriches among us, with their heads in the sand and their imaginary boogeymen taking the place of what they should really be afraid of.  Hey, you guys, while you're down there, dig us up some oil, will ya?                                                                            
                   Let's elaborate on the actual threats facing us these days.  Um, first of all, after the Fort Hood murders, is islamic terror. Did you think they were done?  Obviously they are not, and I want them all--all muslims--out of our military and frankly, our country.  As I mentioned in my previous post, their dogma does not allow for them to accept and live by our Constitution.  We are freedom and life.  They are subjugation and death.  We are the sanest society on earth, with the glaring exception of our 20% lefties.  They are the craziest.  The twain ain't going to meet.  Out.  Compared to these psychos, Republicans don't seem all that scary.  "Climate change" ( I can barely write that without laughing) seems downright benign.  Second hand smoke, unpleasant-- but as a threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not even worthy of a blip on the radar. 
                   Then we have the Mao worshipping czars of Obamaland.  For those of you who are products of 40 years of left wing indoctrination in our public schools and our institutions of higher propaganda, Mao is credited with murdering at least 70,000,000 Chinese in his quest for world power and communist dominance.  Now, I realize Anita Dunn or whatever her name is (I think she is called the Communications Czar) is a complete dingbat, but that doesn't change the fact that you and I are paying her unvetted little psychopathic self a handsome sum of U.S. dollars to spout her crap all over the place.  You dummies voted in a whole bunch of Karl Marx lovers, and you are going to pay the price along with the rest of us.  Just hope that Congress and B.H.O. pay the price in a much bigger way in 2010 and 2012.  Or, get used to the government running EVERY aspect of your life in the name of "health."  If you've been to a doctor lately and given a history, you may have been asked if you own a gun.  Yes, they are trying to make gun ownership a "health" issue.  My answer to Dr. Nosy would be 1) None of your business and 2) Why don't you ask about dogs, which injure far more people each year than guns owned by responsible people? Not criminals, responsible people.            
                   How about nuclear Iran? North Korea? Pakistan?  Do those warrant a heart palpitation or two?  No?  More worried about trans fats or a nuclear Israel?  I vote for Israel to have twenty times more nukes than they have and the rest of the middle east to have none.  North Korea, I'd just drop the big one.  Every time I say that, my husband nearly has a coronary, but at some point and in some places (Afghanistan?), a prudent course might just be to eliminate the negative and don't mess with Mr. In-Between.  I'm only kidding, sort of.
                    Your country, children, is being destroyed by your government.  They feel entitled to more and more power over you and over every business and enterprise that has contributed to our economic well-being.  Your elected representatives are not listening to you.  They are not interested in your thoughts or wants.  They are on the biggest power trip in history, and you are going to have to kick them off that train if America is to survive in an even slightly recognizable way.  I already feel like I'm living in a different country.  USSR, or at the very least, wimpy, immature, self-centered Europe. 
                    The secular goon squad is destroying YOUR freedom of religion, unless of course you are muslim.  There is no separation of church and state in the Constitution.  There is nothing that allows the ACLU to deny you your right to express your religious affiliations in the public square.  That doesn't constitute a state sponsored religion.  How dopey are you?  Our country is founded on Judeo-Christian values, and if that disturbs you in some way, by all means feel free to pout and stomp your feet, and then just shut up.  Not your call.
                     How about your country being run by a complete incompetent in the White House and a completely left-wing bunch of thugs to aid him in his quest for absolute power and absolute corruption?  No, the lefties are afraid of Michelle Bachman.  As far as I know, she doesn't want to run your life, your business or your health care.  She would love to protect your feedoms though.  Scary.
                     How about, for decades, the politicians pretending that Saudi Arabia is our "friend," so we can prostitute ourselves for their oil, while they fund radical islamic mosques and imams to preach, in our own country, death to our own country.  Hmm?  The environmentalists who have forced the wimps in the government to cave to their bullcrap and prevented us from becoming energy-independent from the Arabs.  Does that rattle your cage at all?
                     My fears are all based in stark reality, and the evidence that they are real is overwhelming.  The left worries about people who want to preserve the America we conservatives love and issues based on junk science.  Wow, I'm sure glad they're in charge.  As soon as the murderer in Texas finished his little adventure, thanks to a CIVILIAN cop, the media and the government jumped on the "he was the victim of the bad, bad military and bad, bad America, etc. etc. etc.", ad nauseum, and refused to let the word "terrorist" leave their lying lips.  I wonder, as a military dependent who grew up living on bases, why weren't these people, or someone in the room with them, armed to the teeth?  Are we so P.C. now that we cannot allow our military to be armed at all times?  Do they not know they are the bullseye on the targets of jihad?
                    Fire Congress, with a few exceptions, but not many, as soon as you can.  Fire Obama and his cohorts in 2012, and learn from your OneBigA**MistakeAmerica.  NEVER elect lefties.  They don't love your country, and they sure as heck don't love you.  That 20% is now running your government and you better stop them or you will learn, once and for all, the REAL meaning of "fear."

Gimme Backlash!

            In my opinion, the U.S. Constitution (which I am pretty sure Obama and the Democrats either haven't read or don't comprehend, but that's another topic) trumps "religious freedom" when the "religion" in question fosters anti-United States and certainly anti-United States Constitution ideology.  Islam's core beliefs are contrary to everything our Constitution stands for and promises to the citizens of this country.  Muslims don't believe in or support our Constitution, and therefore they deserve NO protection for their crazy, destructive death cult.              Our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  The Preamble alone is so foreign to the islamic dogma that one could argue that there is no way muslims could EVER live by our values and laws.  They want to bring their garbage from wherever they came from and institute it here, as they've managed to do in the UK and other supposedly western countries.  I'm afraid I have to give that one a big, fat, American NO.
             While our military fight for our freedom and our way of life, islam promotes subjugation, male dominance, female enslavement, and murder as a political tool.  Hardly celebrates life or the pursuit of happiness, does it?  I see no reason that such a psychopathic and profoundly anti-human rights ideology should be offered a place at the table in this country.  If the left is so fond of separation of church and state, it must grant that a so-called religion that tries to undermine the state and its laws at every turn should have no expectation of protection here.  Islam can go and live and kill and enslave and torture and be as sick and depraved as it wants in countries where everyone thinks those are great ideas.  We don't live that way, nor do we wish to be told we should tolerate anyone else living that way.
              I've already heard the whining from muslim organizations, worrying about "backlash against muslims" after the horrendous terrorist attack at Ft. Hood by one of their own.  (Hey, if McVey was a terrorist, this guy is a terrorist.)  I'd love to see some backlash!  I wish the wimpy Christians (and I am one), especially the pastors and priests, and the Jewish rabbis, would call for clamping down on the loony imams in the mosques here in America who are calling for the destruction of America and Israel and urging their followers to kill us all.  I'd like to see all muslim garb outlawed. I'd like to see people reject and ridicule this relic of the dark ages for what it is, and stop pretending it is a religion deserving of respect.  It deserves nothing but contempt for the way it has destroyed every country and society it has managed to take over.  It deserves nothing but contempt here in a free society where women have the same rights as men and no one is subject to dominance by another person unless he or she likes it that way.  It is deserving of nothing but contempt for promoting the idea that killing one's own child, as the nut job in Phoenix did a couple of weeks ago because she was too western, is a fine and noble thing to do.  Any culture which fosters such hatred between parent and child, as well as between spouses--for any man can kill his wife (or sister, or mother) if SHE displeases him or brings "dishonor" on the "family" by acting human or something is deserving of nothing, NOTHING but--say it with me now--CONTEMPT. 
              Freedom of religion ends where it runs headlong into our most precious document, the U.S. Constitution now being trashed by the Obamabots.  Our laws and values come from Judeo-Christian theology, though we are a secular government, as designed by our brilliant Founding Fathers.  Nevertheless, when they made a provision allowing for the freedom to practice one's religion, they didn't intend for the country to be destroyed and the People's rights to be demolished in the name of said freedom.  We need some backlash.  We need to ask ourselves if muslims EVER belong in our military, since they are then being asked to defend values they do not, obviously, believe in.  I say no.  My Air Force officer dad, a lifelong military man, would say no.  I imagine the familes of the 13 dead in Texas would say no.  We must stop being so open minded.  Our brains have fallen out.  Backlash!  Love the sound of that word.

Let's Talk Diversity!

            My friend Benjamin wants to know if I am in favor of diversity.  Here's my answer: not as defined by the lefties.  Diversity means separating the races, maintaining the cultures of origin of people who come here--no assimilation allowed--and honoring even the most horrific of practices of EVERY group EXCEPT Americans.  They do not approve of diversity of opinion or thought, and indeed will shout down any attempt to express an opinion which differs from their radical leftwing dogma.  Ask any conservative who has tried to speak on an American college campus how he or she was treated.  This is one area where the difference is blatant:  conservatives do not heckle or attempt to silence leftie speakers as lefties do to them, with very rare exceptions.( Don't DARE bring up Joe Wilson. He was not heckling, he was overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment--listening to the lies just got to be too much.  You go Joe.  You're a hero to many of us.)  So diversity in this area is a joke. Lefties don't so much think as simply parrot the slogans and bumper stickers they have been indoctrinated to "feel" are somehow sacred.  You disagree with them, you'll soon find out how "diverse" they want you to be. They do enjoy a bit of moral diversity of course--just so it doesn't include Judeo-Christian morality. Anything else is fine--atheism, islam, wicca, voodoo, satan worship, okay!  But don't bring up that foundation of our nation, the Judeo-Christian value system.                                                                                                                             
            Diversity, children, is not what made this country the unique, wonderful country that it is.  You know that sloagan on our coins, E Pluribus Unum? Know what it means? It means, "out of many, one." It is in that phrase that our greatness, or former greatness, is found. We welcomed people from everywhere, and invited them to be AMERICANS. Until the left began to preach diversity, a person could come here from anywhere and BE one of us, truly one of us. No need to hyphenate. You might try that in some other country, but it won't happen the way it always happened here.  We didn't care where you came from, or what you were before; if you wanted to be an American, and if you embraced our values and our way of life and our love of freedom, you were an American before you could say "I love capitalism!"  Try that in, for instance, the Netherlands.  You can move there all right, and live there, and even be a citizen, but you can't be "Dutch." Only the Dutch can be Dutch. Thanks Bruce Bawer.                                             
            I'm married to a man who came here at 18 from Germany with $40 in his pocket and very little English. In the years that followed, he worked his way through university, embraced the American dream, married a cute little American girl, became a citizen--and became an American.  He would be the first to tell you that America opened its doors and invited him to come right in--and be ONE of us.  Be with us.  Be part of us.  He didn't expect anyone to speak German to him, nor did he wish to remain a GERMAN in America.  He is an American through and through, and though he still speaks German and visits his family in Germany, he is in no way a German-American.  Diversity be damned.  The left is the group which separates people by race, gender, class--you name it, they call it diversity and use it to divide and destroy.  They hate this country and all it stands for, because it doesn't fit with their vision of utopia where everyone is the same as far as thought and dogma--but multicultural in any way which undermines America.  A country which has no common values, common language, common goals is a country which has no hope of surviving for long.  Someone once wrote that democracies, or republics in our case, do not last long because they destroy themselves from within.  Spectacular success leads to spectacular apathy and laziness eventually, and the lessening of ambition and the desire to do for oneself and be an independent grown-up.  America has certainly been spectacularly successful, and is now on the downward slide toward the pathetic society that Europe has become.  The left is determined to destroy that which they don't understand, and have never understood.  They are the educated, spectacularly ignorant vehicles of our eventual downfall.  If conservatives don't stand up and if capitalism is allowed to disappear, America will disappear too, and a sad day for the universe that will be.  I agree with Glen Beck that we should write our memories and thoughts about what our country was when we were young and as we grew up, so that our grandchildren will know how unique their country was. I did that once, in a blog post for my granddaughter. What failures we experienced we have dealt with and for the most part fixed.  We were never perfect, but we were the best, by far the best, and I lament our demise.
           If by diversity you mean the "cultural" expressions of the likes of Serena Williams, Kanye West, Al Sharpton, 
illegal aliens who have refused to obey our laws and speak our language, Asian gangs, islamic terrorists amongst us, the lack of respect for AMERICA that is perpetrated by the left in the name of "diversity," when diversity is actually the last thing they really want, then nope, can't use it.  When one of my friends retired from teaching after 25 years in public schools, she said that she had become weary of being told that some minority kid (take your pick) telling her to go f++k herself was a "cultural expression" and that to punish it would be to disrespect that culture.  Remember ebonics?  I do.  Do you think any of this diversity garbage has made for a better society and a more civilized populace?  Ha! If you think that, HA! I've been around just a tad too long to buy that load of, hmm, how can I put this in a civil fashion? Malarkey.  How's that?  Even my grandmother would approve.  When I hear the lefties and the idiot RINOs carrying on over Joe Wilson's absolutely legitimate protest as he listened to B.O. lying his head off, I just have to laugh. When it comes to crass, low-class, uncivilized, vulgar behavior and rhetoric, NO ONE can top the left.  Remember Jennifer What's Her Name saying on her TV show that she hoped someone would shoot Clarence Thomas in the head?  That's civility for ya, leftie style.  Diversity. Their version of diversity, I spit on.

A REAL President of the USA

                 ...would have spoken very differently than B.O. did.  He would have lauded the vast numbers of people who have let their thoughts and opinions on his health care ideas be known in no uncertain terms.  He would have said, "I can see, from the response of a majority of the citizens of this great nation, that I have been on the wrong track in terms of health care reform.  Obviously, the people feel strongly about this issue, and they have every right to expect me to do their bidding.  Therefore, I am calling a complete halt to any plans for health care reform at this time and dealing with more urgent matters, or should I say URGENT matters, since the health care issue is a manufactured issue with absolutely NO urgency whatsoever.  I know that it is the American PEOPLE who have made this country great, with their independence, creativity, freedom and ambition, and far be it from me to try to strangle all that AMERICAN spirit by making them all dependent on a bloated, inefficient, and, yes, CORRUPT government.  I don't know what I was thinking (head slap, like on the V8 commercials)!  Well, I've learned my lesson, and I bow to the will of the people I am supposed to serve.                                                                                                                                
                 "And while I'm at it, I've decided to rethink my highly unpopular positions on some other lefty favorites, like late term abortion and nationalizing EVERYTHING from the banks to the auto industry.  It's pretty apparent that none of what I've cooked up so far has worked, and my wacky ideas have, in fact, made everything worse.  SO once again, I'm listening to the American people, and I am reversing my immoral, ignorant, know-nothing plans and stopping the bleeding of money that we don't have into black holes that do not benefit from the imaginary money anyway.  I've decided maybe I WASN'T the one we were all waiting for, and plan to fade into the background accordingly.  No more B.O. loony left.  From now on, I will stifle my Marxist tendencies and try to act like a PRESIDENT OF A FREE COUNTRY, instead of a dictator in some 3rd world communist country.
                  "Since it has come to my attention that a majority of Americans identify themselves as conservative, rather than liberal--who'da thunk it?--I have decided to adhere to the capitalist, conservative, Judeo-Christian principles and values that made this the greatest country ever to exist on the planet.  I have decided to stop apologizing for imaginary wrongs done by America, and stop pretending that there is another country or culture ANYWHERE that has ever come close to being the shining light that this country is and has been.  I have decided to stop bowing to dictators from repressive, psychotic and evil societies, whether they have tons of oil or not.  I have decided to actually BECOME a Christian, and give up the ridiculous singing of praises of islam, a religion not of peace, but of destruction, hate, and torture.  I plan to support Israel to the fullest extent possible, and to tell Bibi to 'go for it' in both building settlements and dropping the big one on Iran's nuke facilities. 
                  "In short, I'm a new man!  I have woken up to the realities of this country and the rest of the world.  I have come to realize that I am a product of Affirmative Action, and a woefully unqualified one at that, when it comes to being the president of the greatest country on earth.  I plan to listen to the American people on every issue, and to tell Pelosi and Reid to knock off the crazy socialist babble.  Apparently, the USA isn't interested in becoming Europe or Canada!  Imagine that!
                   "While I'm at it, I've decided to put the kabash on coddling illegal aliens and acting like we can't survive without them.  From now on, no freebies whatsoever for this bunch, and no jobs, or benefits of any kind.  Bring on e-verify!  Get 'em out of my country!"
                   That's what a REAL president of the USA would say.  But we don't have one of those, do we?  No, we have a would-be Marxist dictator with designs on our freedom, our money, our lives, our privacy, our safety and our Constitution.  And those designs are, right down the line, the absolute WRONG ideas for America.  Finally, most people have regained consciousness.  Hope it isn't too late.

Enjoying Ramadan, Are We?

     I heard excerpts from Obama's laudatory, indeed, lovefest of a speech at the "celebration"  Ramadan dinner at the White House last night.  It seemed to go on, and on, and on, and along with Laura Ingraham I wondered what sort of celebration of Christianity's most important holiday, Easter, went on at the White House this spring.  (Cue crickets chirping.)  Apparently, it consisted of an Easter egg roll and the ceremonial reading of "Where the Wild Things Are," a traditional Easter text if there ever were one.  Anyone else a little creeped out?  I know I am.                              
      What's going on here?  Well, other than the fact that Obama is a Muslim, I think our local talk show guy Barry Young is also correct:  he is trying to pacify the Wahabbi (sp?) sect of Islam so they won't blow us up.  The Saudi's have been trying this for years, and their reward is a suicide bomber blowing up one of their princes last week.  Yeah, that worked!  So now B.O. is going to try HIS hand at sucking up to them, because it worked so well.  Didn't it?  DIDN'T IT?
       I don't know about you, but I am getting mighty sick and tired of his yammering on about how much the muslims contribute to America.  What a load of tripe.  If you consider honor killings, subjugation of women, dressing females up in tents and disrupting work places and schools with their ridiculous demands for prayer time, well then yes!  Those are some swell contributions!  As for the rest of the world, should we, dare we, bring up murdering and torturing women who show an ankle, anyone who disagrees with the demands of the religious police,  honor killings (that pesky one again), blowing up innocent people everywhere they can infiltrate, including fellow muslims, their vow to eliminate the Jewish State (and us!) by any means necessary? Their hatred of homosexuals (hate that too, don't think we should kill 'em), their sick, psychotic view of life and their love of death--gosh, do I need to go on?  DO I?  I hope Christians and Jews are paying close attention.  He is now about to beam his mug into every school in the country  in a blatant, naked attempt to indoctrinate the NEXT generation into his socialist/communist agenda and his opinion that America is a bad, bad country (not to mention ISRAEL) which needs to be remade into his dream world.  Utopia!  Health care for all (inferior, rationed, expensive-beyond-belief health NON-care), everyone thinking alike, acting alike, eating alike, and all paying homage to the Dear Leader, just like they did (if they wanted to live) with Mao, Hitler, and Stalin.  Yeah, that's what I want my grandkids to be exposed to.  I'm not sure if Christian schools will participate in this outrage, but if they do I hope my kids keep THEIR kids home that day.  They can read the Constitution or something.
