Tired of the Bash

The news and talk shows are interesting to listen to these days. Sometimes, there are some very valid points. And then there's...

Why is it that hard core Democrats place all the blame on President Bush when Congress was controlled by Democrats?

How is the economic stimulus plan really going to help the economy? Build a road to where? And how long will that job last?

Why not let those who take from the government give back?

Why does Geithner appoint a lobbyist?

Why does the White House and friends sound like sore winners?

Just a thought. Just want to hear constructive criticism by those whose voices are heard most often. Just tired of the bash.

Another Look Needed for RicK Warren's Inaugural Prayer

As a member of Twitter, I sometimes see some really interesting articles which make me go back and look at something that has happened-- and sometimes, these articles make me think.

Such is the case with this article by Chuck Norris on Rick Warren's recent inaugural prayer.

Fascinating. Oh, and I sure did notice the Obama family did not pray along.

Take home message: Pray that God's will be done!

More On the Spending Package Revealed

I was just sent this link on some specifics of the stimulus package. Take time and read the article. You might as well go and bury the family silver because someone has to pay for all that sod and birth control.

Thanks to the Read My Lipstick Network for getting this out.

Speak Now to Save a Free America

The big push is on. It's the big push that, in my opinion, has the potential to destroy America and our way of life.

The economic stimulus plan that will "save" us is chock full of pork and government takeovers. Be careful America.

If you don't speak up now to let your members of Congress know what you think, we may lose America and our precious freedoms.

Time is of the essence. The vote could happen on January 28.

Such Good Intentions

Intentions can be good. They can be bad. We've all had intentions that did not go as we planned. Or at least, some will say, "I didn't mean to do it." Kind of sounds like something children will say when they get caught.

Just look at me. I had every intention of completing my ironing today. Oops.

I have been interested in watching the new President as he begins his administration. First, I am dismayed that one of his first acts in these troubling economic times is to send our taxpayer dollars overseas. The cause is to assist poorer countries with abortion. Now, I am not one to say whether abortion is good or bad. I truly believe the matter is one of self reflection and religious beliefs. For me, had I ever been in that spot, I most likely would not have had one. But I can't say for sure even with all my intentions.

Another early hot topic for the President was to freeze his senior White House Staff pay. First, they have only been on the job for 24 hours, so isn't that kind of silly? How many companies will tell you on the first day that they've frozen your pay? Are (Were) you really expecting a pay increase that fast?

I went online and found the actual order. It's interesting as the media proclaimed he had frozen the pay. If you read the actual order, it clearly states that it is his INTENTION to do so.

All he has to do is what an unruly child does and say, "I didn't mean to do it."

You can walk the walk, or talk the talk, but you still have to prove you can do it.

Time, America, time.

Praying for America

We've all heard the words during the campaign. "We are not conservatives or liberals. We are Americans."

Today is the day to put all aside and remember to pray for the leadership of our great land. Pray that God will guide Barack Obama and that he will have the wisdom to listen and to follow.

Ethical, Honest, and Open Promises - Broken

Back in 2006, Pelosi said the Dems would have the most honest, ethical and open government. Earmark reform was a hot topic and senators would have to be be open about whose getting the money.

The question becomes have they? Watch the video by PBS on this subject.

Senators, shame on you for keeping the secrets on ethic reform from the public. Senators, shame on you for rewording the legislation to provide loopholes so you don't have to tell the public the truth.

Change Like Lincoln? Separate Countries in Our Future?

I've been watching how Bark Orama is trying to reincarnate into Abraham Lincoln. All of a sudden, it is Lincoln this and Lincoln that with Bark Orama showing how much he is like Lincoln.

Didn't Lincoln divide the country first? Remember, the South said, "I don't think so" and started their own country for a time. Remember when the Civil War started, Mr. Lincoln Wanna Be?

So, is that his plan? First to divide, then conquer? Only who will be "the rebels" this time?

Or will he give a speech saying, "United we stand, divided we fall"?

Just wondering.

Succeed Bark Orama, Succeed

Perfect video to watch. Tell it to the world!
