9-11-01 We will never forget!

I feel many emotions on this day- I find myself glued to the TV watching any documentaries or specials that are on, I always watch the movie The World Trade Center, and I cry every time I see those towers come down. I teach my children about what happened that day, why it happened and who did it, I want them to know.

I am overcome with grief and sadness but I am also confused and annoyed. Not with who you might think. The terrorists that did this are evil, there is no doubt and we live in a world filled with evil but I am always amazed at the short attention span of this country. After 9-11 we were filled with patriotism- united as a country- and we recognized heroes. President Bush did an amazing job of uniting us and bringing us all together. Despite the tragedy it was a great time of unity for this nation.

What has happened since? It seems that not much of thoses feeling remain. Anger, false accusations, bickering, turning on each other and worst of all we have forgotten what happened that day. What do we need terrorists for when we have plenty of enemies right here in America?

I hope you will all take the time to reflect on this day. To reflect on all those people whose lives were lost, all those heroes that died, all the families that still suffer to this day. Acknowledge all those heroes recogognized or in the shadows. Remember that we live in the greatest country in the world, that we have the right to fight for our freedoms, remember those that still fight daily to protect and serve us.

Never forget 9-11, never forget where you were that day or how you felt. Never forget what that day meant and still means today. That's how we win, we go on, we persevere, we keep fighting, and most importantly, we never forget!

Sharron Angle

I am getting sick to death of these ridiculous Haryy Reid attack ads, I mean they are ridiculous. Is anyone actually buying them. He is playing clips of comments Sharron Angle has made on several different issues, it is SO obvious that they chop it up without letting her finish. If you actually hear the rest of that speech you will see she has some fantastic ideas.

People's biggest concern right now seems to be her idea of getting rid of social security, well that's how it would seem based on Harry's commercial. In reality she want's to get rid of social security as it is now and fix it. The system is broken and let's be honest- how can that hypocrite Harry Reid attack her when he and his cronies have BANKRUPT social security!! Unless someone fixes it, it will all be gone. At least she has a plan to do something!

My current biggest beef at the moment happens to be members of the Mormon church who think that because he is LDS that automatically means he is good and they should vote for him knowing nothing but this about me. AHHH makes me want to rip my hair out. As a member of the church myself I think he is the devil. The man is a dishonest, dirty politician. He is a liar who will stop at NOTHING to be re-elected- including stepping on and trying to ruin members of his own church who oppose him! (Yes this is a fact and I know who he did it to!) This man is NOT to be trusted Nevada, DO NOT be fooled.

Just in case you haven't seen any of Sharron Angle's commercials or interviews I an going to start posting some of them (current one posted below), please send them on to your family and friends, she is the real deal and she needs our help. You can also visit her website at the link posted on the left.

Boy do I feel better now!

Happy 4th!

I hope you all take the time this Independence day to reflect on our great nation, yes I said GREAT nation, and the things that made and still make it great. We need to remember those that gave up and sacrificed everything including their lives to create this nation. In the words of one of my favorite patriotic songs, "who more than self their country loved." Look at how our lives have been blessed and enriched because of sacrifices of those brave men and women.

God truly had a hand in the birth of this nation, that can't be denied, we defeated the most powerful military in the world at that time. We beat all odds, overcame the obstacles and hardships and grew into the strongest nation in the world. We are going down the wrong path no doubt. People have forgotten what made us so great, people don't know or care about the founding fathers, people don't know or care about God, and people take their freedom for granted on a daily basis.

I pray we never forget, that we start appreciating the things we have. We need to love our country, love our liberties, and our freedoms. This still is (despite opposite views from our President) the greatest nation on earth. One nation, under God! Happy Independence Day everyone!

Yeah like I didn't see this one coming..

I was waiting for this one, after Obama's complete NON-RESPONSE to the oil spill disaster (see video below for his real priorities). One had to wonder hmmmm what does he hope to accomplish by this? You know the tree hugger, environmentalist types were just drooling over this. Oil is evil they say and now here is their chance to show the world. Then comes his great noble speech to his fellow Americans about our oil addiction blah blah blah and how we will be pushing our hardest now for alternative fuel sources, blah blah blah, even though it will cost you all a fortune while I am warm and cozy in my mansion with my millions, blah blah blah. Honestly I can't listen to the man without wanting to drive my car into a pole so I don't have to hear him anymore.

Do you know our dear Obama also rejected several other countries offers to come in and help clean up the oil spill. Why would he do that? I though he was doing EVERYTHING in his power to help? He is taking this tragedy and using it for political gain. This man doesn't care who he steps on, on his rise to power. Want to know whose fault this tragedy really is? The wackos who are exploiting it, the environmental nut jobs, if it weren't for them forcing us to drill so far off shore where it's not safe, this wouldn't have happened. Your right we shouldn't be off shore drilling, we should be drilling on our own soil where we have millions of gallons of oil just waiting for us, we wouldn't be so dependant on foreign oil if we could just drill for our own you morons!

Oh come on, you know you laughed!

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, 'I ♥ Obama.' I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.

Something just occurred to me...

So I was folding laundry and my mind was drifting as it often does... I was thinking of that Christina Agulera song- the one that got an award for being pro gay tolerant or whatever, "I am beautiful no matter what they say.." I was trying to figure out why it bothered me so bad then it hit me.

I've always been a very stubborn person- I don't like to be told what to do or how to think. So what it boils down to is I'm tired of having things crammed down my throat. For example, while I believe in the sanctity of marriage and that it should be between husband and wife, I am not anti-gay people. I do not approve of the life style but we live in a country where people have the right to be who and what they want, I can respect that that is THEIR choice and they are still good people. Unfortunately it is not that simple, the outspoken left has decided that if I disagree with their lifestyle then I am a homophobic or prejudice, it has to be shoved in our face 24/7- songs about it as if the rest of us are saying they are bad people, we aren't it is just not the lifestyle we choose.

Tree-huggers and environmental wackos, another movement that makes me angry and want to barf. I recycle, I turn off the lights when not in use etc.. I be live in appreciating and taking care of this gift God has given us but they have decided that I don't love the planet because I refuse to take 3 minute showers or I don't drive a hybrid, or don't use the kind of light bulbs they have decided I should use, or I don't think nature should come before people. (I guess I hate animals to then). It is not okay for everyone to believe what they want, they want to FORCE us to believe and act how they say.

**As if you need more proof that global warming is a bunch of baloney- it is the end of May in Vegas and we just barely hit 90 degrees, haven't even had an average day yet you wackos!

The peace sign- I wish we could live in a world of peace, but peace and safety comes at a price, I refuse to wear or use anything with a peace symbol because in the 1960's it was an anti war symbol. I wish it were not necessary but it is, if it weren't for war, we wouldn't have this great nation and evil would always prevail.

They believe guns are evil so yet another thing they want to force on everyone. Another reason I have begun to be an avid gun supporter, how dare they try to take away my 2nd amendment right? I am learning how to shoot and contributing to the NRA just because they say I shouldn't.

So what it boils down to is I am fed up, fed up of being labeled because I disagree, but if that's the way they want to play then so be it but they are stirring a pot that's going to boil over. I am not the only one sick and tired of living in their politically correct world, a lot of people (including me) are simply going to act opposite just to prove our points!

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION...

I'm sorry we can't be friends anymore just because we disagree on politics.

I just have to get this off my chest then I'll feel better. I had this friend and I used to think we were pretty good friends. Her political views and 110% opposite of mine and her blog was usually filled with anti conservative rants. I never said much about them we pretty much just decided to agree to disagree. Might I mention that I was also very offended by several things she said. Anyhow... so recently I have obviously kicked my political activity into overdrive and what do you know, I went to look at her blog today and I was all of a sudden no longer an invited reader on her private blog. That's right, she no longer wants to associate with me I can only assume because of my political views. Shocking, not really, she really just makes my point for me. I am sorry we can't be friends anymore just because we disagree on politics.

What Is Happening To This Country I Love?

I've been quiet for way to long! As upset as I was Obama was elected, I agreed to have an open mind and give him a chance. That time has come and gone. America as we know it is disaapearing fast and our basic rights are being jeapordized. I thought he was suppossed to be the great uniter, the one who would bring both sides together- this country has never been more divided. I guess by uniting us that means attacking opposers until they agree with you. This used to be a country where we could agree to disagree but no more. The democratic party has actually run ads in some states comparing republicans nazis! This because we we dare show up at town hall meetings and voice our opposition? I guess it was okay to be a screaming lunatic calling George Bush a traitor and having bashing Bush rallys- it;s okay for them to be filled with hate but not okay for us to voice opposition. At another rally Obama (the great uniter) actually told his supporters to get out there and get and get in the faces of people who are oppossed to government run healthcare (no lie, I heard the clip), get in the faces of your neighbors, are you kidding me? Oh yeah and did you hear that those who oppose Obama are only doing it because they are racist- they have to make up lies for everything.

I also love how his Green Czar called the republicans a** holes- that was awesome. They are trying to silence talk radio and take away our rights to free speech. I don't care who you are this should scare you. This is one of our most basic and cherished rights. They are trying to pretend there is no media bias (biggest joke of all time!) so they have to do what they do best -shut down their opponents. While we're at it let's take away everyone's right to own guns as well.

What a scary world we live in where people are afraid to voice their opinions due to fear of being attacked- the left want's to silence all who oppose them, our ELECTED leaders are no longer looking out for the people and representing them- they are no longer our voice, they are only interested in pushing their own socialist agendas, taking away my rights, making me look like the bad guy, taking away my money and spending how they see fit (even on things I'm morally oppossed to), telling me what health care I deserve, telling me that because we work so hard we are evil and should give our hard earned money to those people who won't get off their butts and go earn their own. They are setting terrorists free, prosecuting those who interregated these evil people and kept us safe- are you kidding me- yes prsecuting CIA agents who kept us safe (also something Obama promised would never happen) but we see how well he keeps his word.

I am so angry but even more I am downright scared!! These are things I never thought could ever happen living in a FREE country. I think the founders of this country would be appalled of the condition today, countless people died to give us the rights they are trying to take away from us, I am patriotic to the core, my whole family is! I am tired of just sitting here doing nothing, I am going to become much more proactive, I will voice my opposition and I will voice it loudly, I encourage all to do the same. I think the problem with the right is that we are to quiet, to nice, to afraid to offend anyone. It's time for us to get loud!

God Bless America!

PS Most of my family was luck enough to attend Sean Hannity's Freedom Concert here in Vegas. It is a Patriotic experience unlike any other. All proceeds go to scolarships for children of fallen soldiers, what an amazing cause. Way to go Ash on scoring tickets- my sister Ashley has become quite the regular on the Sean Hannity show!

PPS Fellow Nevadans lets start with getting rid of dirty Harry Reid!!!!
