The Republican party is in self destruct mode

Are we conservatives so impressed with our own moral authority that we are willing to hand America over to the progressive liberal establishment for the next election?  Do you have any idea what they will do to this country if we give Obama the Senate and House for the last two years of his presidency?  While our morons in the legislature tear apart the best chance we’ve had in decades to take control of the legislative block and stop the progressive movement in its tracks the dems are rubbing their hands in delight.  I actually heard a fellow say the other day that he was going to stay away from the election if the house republicans voted for the Ryan/Murray bill to avoid a shutdown of the government.  What is it about us conservatives that cause our brain cells to evaporate?  Sure stay away and allow all the rest of Obama’s agenda to be handed to him.  How are you going to complain when we totally open the borders?  How will you complain when we watch this administration run over our Constitution like a jack rabbit and an 18 wheeler? 

Come on man, we have to wrestle away the Senate from Harry Reid and hold on to the House.  When we do win in the midterm there has to be some movement to bring the party’s together if we hope to keep Hillary and Bill out of the White House in 2016.  Compromise is a dirty word to the arch conservative but it has served us well for decades prior to the impeachment proceedings against Clinton.  We have been getting paid back in spades ever since.  Are we conservatives so bull headed that we cannot learn from history.  The progressives have wormed their way into every facet of our education system maneuvering with patience and because of that they practically control our judicial system.  Liberals aren’t born; they’re made from an early age in our education establishment.  We pay for our kids to go to school and be indoctrinated from 1st grade on.  Can’t we learn from this and at least come together long enough to bring an end to the destruction of our society?   


If this battle escalates and hangs on through the mid terms the Republican Party will self destruct.  Conservatism will be set back another two decades and it will mean the chance of any real recovery back to sane government will be lost.  I would like to put the entire bunch of our elite republican brethren in the legislature in a room for 24 hours and force them to read all Obama’s writings and watch the documentary 2016 over and over so that they might understand who this guy really is and how dangerous he is to our society.  Compromise doesn’t necessarily mean losing, it means we keep our foot in the door and eventually have the ability to re-educate America on the principles that were laid out in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  We can create a time when judges are appointed that do not legislate from the bench by twisting the meaning of our laws to meet their liberal agenda.  A time when an education means learning real history and understanding Mathematics, English and graduating with a burning desire to accomplish great things.  A time when respect for one another is once again the norm not the unusual.  We owe it to our descendants to at least give them a chance to succeed.

Why are we Christians such cowards?


We Christians are such cowards, we allow judges who constantly misinterpret the Constitution to destroy the very foundation of Christianity.  Nowhere in the Constitution does it deny our right to display symbols of our religion in any place including government establishments.  The Constitution simply says that the government cannot advocate for any particular religion.  We have allowed a vocal minority of Atheist’s to destroy the foundation of Christianity that our government was built upon.  They have had a great deal of help from the liberal democratic party who consistently appoint these liberal judges to lifetime positions.  80% 0f the United States of America’s population are Christians, Christians who have been bullied and beaten out of their place in society by a minority of liberal judges who allow political correctness to dictate their logic. 

It’s time to stand up Christians, for years the liberal establishment has built its power base in both the Democratic Party and the judicial.  We can only change things two ways either by outright revolution or the right way by voting these liberal elites who appoint these progressive judges from office.  Voting in such numbers that it sends a message loud enough to rock the foundation of the Democratic Party, forcing it to return to its real base the hardworking American people.  If you consider yourself a Christian and you vote for these progressive agnostics who are trying to change America’s core beliefs I believe you are conflicted.  Stop and think about it, would you in your heart vote for someone who would tear a cross from a veteran’s memorial?  Would you actually vote for a person who advocates removing the crosses from cemeteries that have been there since the 1st World War honoring those who gave their lives for this country?  Well if you’ve voted for the progressive liberals in the Democratic Party over the last 10 years you’ve done just that. 

I am not a hardcore Christian, I am simply a man who believes in God and his son Jesus as the Savior.  I am not an avid church member but I resent the fact that a few are trying to regulate my ability to worship.  Atheism is basically a religion without a God and they’re whole philosophy is to destroy any symbol of our beliefs.  The A.C.L.U. has for years allowed their auspices to be used by this minority to tear down everything from the Lord’s Prayer to the Golden Rule on any public facility.  They do this by taking the assumption that by displaying the Golden Rule the government is advocating for Christianity.  Our Country was founded on the principles of the Golden Rules.  All this started with an original progressive decision in Texas to ban prayer in school.  They tell us that even a moment of silence is against the Constitution, do you in your heart think that in any form our Forefathers meant the Constitution to read that way?  It's time to pull your heads out of the sand and standup for Christianity or soon Obama will be absolutely right when he says this is no longer a Christian Nation.

Christmas in the 40's

What would the kids of today think of my first memories of Christmas morning?  I was 4 or 5 years old back in the 40’s during World War II, my oldest brother was in the Pacific aboard a fleet submarine off the coast of Japan. My family had many cousins and uncles in various theatres of operation from the South Pacific to Italy and beyond. My father disappointed being told he was too old to volunteer for duty became the air raid warden for our area.  It was his job to make sure everyone had blackout curtains and had taped the headlights to 1” slits on their automobiles.  Living in Seattle surrounded by Boeing Aircraft and the Todd Shipyards we were always aware of the chance for an attack.  My Dad was a carpenter by trade and during the day he worked for the Speedwall construction company building wooden wings for gliders that would be used to carry troops well behind the German lines into France.  Mom worked at Harrison Dye works operating huge boiling kettles of dye that were used for camouflage.   

Needless to say Christmas was a little different in those days, with rationing in effect most toys were homemade as were the clothes we received.  I remember my dad working many hours in his basement shop making gifts for everyone.  Mom did a lot of secret sewing after I was long in bed.  My older brother Rolland who was 14 or 15 had a job after school at the Bee Hive market and I didn’t see him for days as he was off to school before I got up and went straight to work from there.  Mrs. Drisco, (aunt Dell) we called her, took me to her house across the street when mom left for work.  Christmas morning was so exciting, I could hardly wait to get out of bed.  I had a stern warning not to come down from my upstairs bedroom until I was called in the morning.  I must have awakened around 3 AM and sat quietly on the top step until I heard them stirring around 6, I was sure daylight would never come.  I wasn’t disappointed, there was a homemade train for me and a bean bag clown that my dad had made and painted just like the ones in the store.  There was a sled for Rolland that had his name wood burned into the top and all kinds of new shirts and sweaters. 

About noon my aunt Mabel came by and brought me a present that she parked on the sidewalk by the front porch, it was a homemade jeep that looked just like a real Army Jeep with a big star on the hood and pedals that I could drive it with.  In spite of the snow I raced it up and down the street all day letting a few friends drive as well.  My beautiful Aunt Mabel was special for all us kids in the family, she always brought that special treat whatever the day.  As we became adults we later found out that my wonderful aunt Mabel was the owner of a house of ill repute, in other words a Madam.  It didn’t matter a bit, I know in my heart that the day she died she went straight to heaven.

My first Christmas memories were really a sad time as so many of our family was off fighting a war and so many of our friends in town had already lost son’s, husbands and daughters to the conflicts.  Our house was a gathering spot for all the family and Christmas was a drop by day that kept the house full of people for most of the day and night.  Many tears were shed as the talk would of course include word of the war and the casualty lists that were constantly published in the paper.  Dinner was set at the big table with an empty plate in the spot where my brother would be when he came home.  I don’t know how they managed, but there was always plenty of food for all who stopped by.  Dinner always started with my dad saying a grace in Swedish a tradition he carried on for years.  A few of our aunts and uncles had farms where they raised vegetables and animals and dad would trade building outbuildings and whatever they needed for the things we couldn’t raise in our own victory garden.  I remember going to the meat locker at the ice plant where we kept venison, Turkey and whatever my dad could hunt or trade for.  I wonder if many people today could survive times like those.  Just think, people like my parents had already gone through the Great Depression and survived, no wonder they were called the Greatest Generation.

an anonymous author

I don't have any idea who wrote this as it came to me in an email without the authors name.  Who ever it was made my day.  I hope you enjoy it too. Don

The typical U.S. Household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.  If all of us “oldies” have all of the money, then let us try to elect someone who might be near honest and not just be looking to feather their own nests. 
They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs.  Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire.  Others have been retired for some time.  We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were.  We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together.  Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true.  But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.
 
In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age.  Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes.  For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators.  A few even remember when cars were started with a crank.  Yes, we lived those days.
We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many.  But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off.  We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam.  We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."  We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.  We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner,  America , and  America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing.  We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.
 
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it.  It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us.  We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep.  There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.
 
It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress.  They fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies." 
You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all.  You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting.  Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. 
With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.'  Now you're paying the price and complaining about it.  No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom. This is what you voted for and this is what you got.  We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.
 
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014 we are going to take back our nation.  We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2014 we're going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  It belongs to "We the People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom.  We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren.  So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade."
 
Footnote:
This is spot on.  I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on.  I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county.

Can you feel the ground shaking???   It's not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE. Come on and join us.
