VOTE 'EM OUT!!!!!!!

click the title will take you to an article that is currently on foxnews website...

everyone should read....

excerpts!!!!

"As Americans look ahead to the mid-term elections, anything new is preferable to anything old, -- such as an incumbent."

yes yes yes yes if you're in office right now - be prepared! you're outta there!!!

"The real dynamic seems to be a revolt against insiders -- as voters say they would choose a challenger over an incumbent by a two-to-one margin (38 percent to 19 percent)."

this is it folks........our best opportunity to rid ourselves of the likes or harry ried, nancy pelosi, john mccain and so many many other antiquities that have been in office for so long......

i get told all the time that the reason voting everyone out is such a bad idea is that all the experienced, senior people will disappear and no one will know what to do or how things get done or where the keys to the bathrooms are.....

but don't you see - - that's exactly why we need to VOTE 'EM OUT!!!!

our congress people have forgotten that they're citizens just like us...they have no idea how people in the country work, shop, live their lives....or anything..

and besides - even i know that realistically it ain't gonna happen - sure a large number of the encumbents will be unseated - - but it won't be all or the ones that should be unseated.....

but it's a start - - it's a place to begin the house cleaning of washington d.c....

"Americans dispense just about as much disdain for Republicans (42 percent favorable; 46 percent unfavorable) as Democrats (42 percent favorable; 48 percent unfavorable), according to a Fox News poll released Friday."

so you see, this isn't party particular - - folks are just fed up with the disrespect that these (so called) leaders show for the rest of us!

if you have an election coming up in your area - unless the opponent is a known criminal or registered child offender - - vote against the incumbent!!!!

baptist children savers........

you can click on the title to go to one of the many news articles surrounding these folks and their escapades in haiti. this one in particular happens to be from fox news, but there are others - everywhere.

they all pretty much say the same thing. here in this country, they're being portrayed as innocent, do-gooders who were trying to help and made a mistake.

in haiti meanwhile, they're portrayed as child-nappers - who decided on their own to pretty much literally take these kids from the children home and take them across the border into the dominican republic most likely to be whisked away to america...

where - i'm sure - there are many people standing by to adopxxxxxx take them in and give them care.

pretty much nowhere have i read that these kids are orphaned due to the earthquake - in fact, i've read that some of them actually have parents - alive and there in haiti!

i'm thinking there's a lot more to this story than what we're being told in the news. i think these folks have stepped in it big-time and should be very glad that the haitian legal system is pretty much in shambles at the moment.

if they're lucky, they'll be shipped back here for legal proceedings.

either way, i'll be watching - cuz i think there's a lot more to this one....

scott roeder convicted

you can find this story most anywhere. all the major (even minor) news sources have been following this one....

scott roeder is the guy who walked into the Lutheran church and shot Dr Tiller - point blank range.

his reasons revolved around his beliefs about abortion and the abortions that were performed by Dr Tiller.

"It isn't our duty to take life, it's our heavenly father's."

that line is a quote from roeder during the trial. a guy who walked up to someone and point-blank takes their life - - declares in court that only our heavenly father has the duty to take a life....

anyone else see the conflict here besides me? regardless of his beliefs on abortion he is now no better than that doctor. he put himself in the role of the heavenly father and took another life.....

amazing.....

it's wednesday!

i received these in an email today - - if you're old enough you can probably answer these without much trouble - - i barely had to think about 'em!   but it's fun....so take a look.....i'll put the answers in the comments section.....

So - - how d'ya do???

new grand baby!!

the last few days been rather hectic around here! we went up to arlington over the weekend - dual purpose trip - we hadn't seen the grandkids since Christmas AND i had to drop my wife off at the DFW airport so she could get down to florida to be with our other daughter as they were expecting the arrival of their first baby!

so on monday, jan 18, Parabelle Suellen was born....

so grandma is down there in Florida with the kids and the new baby and i'm up with the dog - doing my usual 6-3 daily work stuff.....

dunno how long she'll be down there. the baby was born via C section, and although our daughter is doing well - she's up and around a bit - i'm sure grandma's help is pretty welcome!
