You call yourseves never Trump, what are you really?

You call yourselves never Trumper's but what are you really? You obstruct everything regardless of the eventual outcome. The people of The United States conducted an election and it was exactly as our Founding Fathers created it. The reason for the Electoral College is obvious as without it 3 or 4 states would control our entire country. The method has been used since the beginning of our country and has been successful in electing our Presidents since then. Now that tho...se who are traditionalists in America have finally shaken off the mantel of political parties and voiced their opinion it seems to have upset you. I'll tell you this, I have been upset for years with some of the things that our government of both parties have done but I have never felt the urge to break windows and create havoc in the streets. I am an American and to be that it is imperative that I understand our laws as Congress and the Constitution proclaims them. It is not your job or my job to make laws it is our duty as citizens to understand and obey them. This is what makes the Union run successfully benefitting all its citizens equally.

As one of those what I will call Silent Fly over Americans it offends me greatly to see the chaos and destruction of our system and only makes my resolve greater to see my traditional values enforced. So if I am any example of today's American and I believe I am, keep it up and it will be generations before you ever attain power in this country again.

Hate will never accomplish anything

Hate is overwhelming to me, I see what is supposed to be the peaceful transition of the Presidency being turned into a festival of hate mongering. I have always believed in equal pay based on the job for women and of course courteous treatment of all. The ladies in our company are paid commiserate with their abilities and experience. I understand that portion of the marches across the country today. I do not understand why anyone without a bit of proof would think that the new President is out to get them. He is not going to ban abortion, he's not going to ban Gay's or Transgender people. He is trying to take us into a period of commonsense and be rid of all the politically correct regulations that have dulled our senses and slowed our ability to grow. The opposition is out to block every move rather than try to understand the reasoning behind the issues. I see and understand the legitimate protests by some but when led by the actions of people like the Hollywood elites or Michael Moore you lose me. Just because they have the ability to act or sing gives them no authority to demand laws and those who follow them look weak and manipulable. Using what was said 10 years ago by Trump as a fear promoter by people who show their ass on stage and drop the F bomb in every other sentence like Miley Cirus is a joke. It's time to stand back and allow actions to speak for the new administration then if you don't agree protest, but do so based on fact not hearsay.

Today's events

The idea that there is anything American about the protests in Washington today is ridiculous.  Number one the inauguration is not about any man or ideal, it is about the peaceful transition of power here in America. The violence seen by the whole world was committed by no more than 250 Anarchists who should all be on trial for treason.  If it were up to me the 200 and some arrested today would be in jail until all the damage was paid for.  Hoping for commonsense to prevail, we have had a transfer of power, now give the new regime a chance to prove itself.  God Bless America   

Stand with Israel

Never did I think in my lifetime the United States would turn its back on Israel.  The Obama Administration purposely abstained during a vote in the United Nations Security Council that basically destroyed all chance for peace between The Palestinians and Israel.  The same U.N. Security Council that ignores the genocide in Syria and the constant murders and harassment brought on Israel by the Hamas in the West Bank.  The same U.N. that says nothing about the civil rights violation in China or the horror going on Allepo has now chosen to attack our only ally in the Middle East and we help stab them in the back.  Call on President Elect Trump to get the U.S. out of the United Nations, it’s a fools mission with no mission other than to collect our money and works against our interests.  Obama has allowed his personal hatred for Israel to jade his judgment and has gone against the interests of the United States.  It’s time for his reign as wanna be King to end.  Israel claims to have proof the Administration actively worked to push this and the Obama Administration is claiming it had nothing to do with it.  Understanding the reach of Israeli security and the straight talking government of Israel I tend to believe they have the proof that they claim. If it turns out to be fact Obama should leave in disgrace and go visit the money he sent to Iran and never show his face again, I’m sure Kerry’s relatives in Iran would welcome him with open arms.  Oh wait they already got our money they’d probably just arrest him and try to get us to ransom him back. (Fat Chance of that)

Stand with Israel!

Christmas wish

My Christmas Wish

Over the years I've written many Christmas messages, some in tragic times, others in good times. This year I find myself so grateful for so many things, yet there is a pall that hangs over our heads in the form of the War on Terror. I have lived long enough that I remember WWII, the rationing and the heartbreak of having my oldest brother Walter serving in the Silent Service, (Subs) in the Pacific Theatre. I can still see my next brother Rolland leaving for Korea in the 50's and the toll it took on my family. My family was the perfect American family, 3 sons all spaced the right amount of years to keep the military stocked with Lindberg's. During all these times even though we may have been separated by oceans my family stayed close and celebrated as if we were still together. We all could picture my Dad working on the Christmas tree, never satisfied, drilling holes and moving branches to make it the prettiest tree ever. My Mother baking her goodies and decorating for weeks. I can close my eyes today and still smell the cookies and pumpkin bread that filled the house during those times. Don't get me wrong, this was not a wealthy family, Mom and Dad both worked and struggled to make ends meet. It didn't take a lot of money to make a great Christmas back then. We got just as much or more satisfaction out of something homemade as a store bought gift. We, as I have said, were not wealthy but we were rich in so many ways. All through the holidays our house was like a fairy tale, Christmas music was playing, family and friends stopping in to savor mom's goodies and dad's homemade eggnog and countless hours of old stories and adventures of day's past. Getting the chance to play with cousins that we seldom got to see.

As I write these memories I am still able to see what Christmas was all about, sadly it has become so commercialized that kids today will never have those memories. Oh they will remember the gifts of some but not who gave them to them. They will play with them until they break or they tire of them and look for the next one. Will they remember taking part in the Sunday School Christmas pageant? Will they cherish their Christmas memories or will they simply just be another day in their lives? Yes we can blame all types of things and conditions for the change that has come over America & Christmas but none are really at fault. We have faced terror before when we knew people were actually trying to kill our loved ones, we have been broke before yet we knew the days would improve. The real culprit for the change in my mind is how we have learned to ignore God and the spiritual side of these holidays. So many of my memories of Christmas past involve the love and respect shown by all. My Christmas wish would be that we could reverse time for just one day to show the world, especially the children, what the true meaning of Christmas is.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
-Don Lindberg & family

75 years ago December 7th, 1941

75 years ago on December 7^th, 1941 the Japanese attacked military bases on the Island of Oahu.  We here mostly about Pearl Harbor but there was and still is a Marine base in Kaneohe that was hit also.  The next day they hit the Philippines and strafed Midway Island.  I had a friend now gone who was in the Marines on Midway that day and for a 19 year old kid it was quite an awakening to the world of war.  As the word spread across this nation, men filled the recruiting stations volunteering for all branches of the military.  We fortunately have had over the years many Hawaiian friends who were thrust into the conflict that day.  Their tales of the event are personal to them, they knew their lives would never be the same as they watched the onslaught and dodged friendly fire as our men fired on the attacking planes.  I wonder today as I watch the news of universities that are putting safe areas for students who are aghast at the election results if we could actually mount a counter attack should a similar event happen.  911 was a precursor to much grander plans the Islamic Radicals have in mind.  The fact that most of our leaders in this country have come from these same universities is rather frightening.  They called my father and my older brother’s generation the Greatest Generation with good cause.  These people lived through the Great Depression, WWI and the Great Dust Bowl only to find themselves locked in a war that threatened our very existence.  They did what the world thought was unimaginable they defeated not only the most well equipped and trained army in existence in Europe but the Japanese in the Pacific. 

Our prayers this day are for our country that we may find in this generation a spirit not yet evident that will lead the world with the strength and fortitude of our fathers.  As I witness the anarchy of the last few weeks and hear their claim that our country is a pariah in the world as they smash businesses and disrupt traffic I wonder what our fathers would say and do confronted with these cowardly malcontents with their hidden faces.  I wonder if any one of them would have the courage to storm the beach at Normandy or climb Mount Surabachi in the face of a dug in enemy.  I wouldn’t want to bet my life on it.  People have said that they’re just kids and they will grow out of it but it’s not kids teaching this Anti American rhetoric, it is adult professors and a very disgusting media that is promoting this diatribe.  We have grandchildren and great grandchildren who soon will be attending these universities and colleges and we pray we have given them the bases for an understanding that they will see through this façade that calls itself higher learning and use their time to actually learn our history and not be brain washed by the 60’s hippies who are now in charge of the Universities. 

For the record

For the record:
Everyone in the United States of America has the right to protest what they feel is an injustice. They do not have the right cause damage or infringe on the rights of others. The chaos that we have seen happening on streets of America are not protests, although some of the people who have come out did so to legitimately voice their opinion but remember when the Anarchist's began their crime wave and they did nothing about it they became accessories to the fact. The cities that have allowed this to continue without an effort to arrest the perpetrators have also become accessories. We have laws that protect businesses and the rights of citizens to be on the street and be safe, when those laws are broken it is a crime. As a business owner I feel for those who came to work to find their establishments either destroyed or ransacked, in many cases these small business owners will never recover. These are the same people who help support our Little Leagues, our clothing drives, the food bank and many other charities. These are not moguls of the industry they are everyday Joe's and Jane's that just eke out a business enough to live. 75% of jobs created in America are from Small Business's and that is who suffers during these riots. So when you go out to legitimately protest and you find yourself amongst those that are just there to do damage and create Anarchy, stand up for the rights of all Americans and do your best to stop the few bad apples. If the crowd turns against them they will run like the cowards they are.

Veterans Day 2016

As we celebrate another Veterans Day my thoughts go to those who fail to understand what makes America great.  We just had the 45^th successful transition of government electing a President to serve for a four year term.  Yet there are those who would look at it with protest.  The honor I feel when I vote is hard to explain, I come from a family that has served as volunteers in our military from WWII to the present.  I felt disappointed when my pick did not win in elections going back for over 50 years of voting.  Oh I didn’t lose every time but I did lose my share and in fact many times I felt the country lost during these times.  As a proud American I shrugged my shoulders and went on with my life building my career and my family.  The idea of protesting an election that a vote of the citizens decided has never occurred to me.  I never felt that I was so smart that everyone else was wrong and only my ideas were acceptable.  As a Veteran I am dismayed at the so called protesters who would lay aside our Constitution and all the rights we have fought throughout our history to defend because they are disappointed in the outcome.  From the interviews I have seen most of these I would consider Anarchists rather than protesters.  Why on earth does the Media feel the need to continually give these people coverage.  Take away the TV and they will disappear into their little world of hate and malcontent.  We have free elections in this country because many millions of men and women died defending our right to do so, yet rather than rejoicing our freedom we have colleges and universities breeding this hate and discontent.  I feel that I and every other Veteran earned our right to celebrate our wins without the ranker and hate that is being shown to the world as if it were the norm here in The United States.  The majority of people whether they are pleased with the outcome of the election or saddened go on with our lives as productive and free citizens of this great country ready and willing to serve where and when required.  For those who see this constant TV coverage from countries who would try to do us harm during this period please understand, the protesters in number are not unlike a single flea on the back of a herd of camels compared to the citizens who accept our countries decision.  Never under estimate the power of free society nor love of the average American for their country.       

What happens now

We have an opportunity here in America that few countries can boast of, we have a free election and the people get to choose their direction and their leadership. For years we have been complacent in making changes and in bringing in new leadership role models and it has caused an elitism in our nations capital that has bred contempt for the everyday citizen. The Elitists felt they knew what was best for the people and forgot that they actually work for those people. With the forced political correctness that has hampered free speech and the decisions by one man through Executive Order eliminating the checks and balances of our natural system we have finally as a majority become intolerant of our government. The election held on the 8th of November 2016 will go down in history as the first revolution by Social Media. With the ineptness of the major media to bring unbiased news and the favoritism of certain networks toward the Elite side of Washington the people have taken to social media to create their own news team. Two things have to happen now to call this a successful revolution; #1. The President elect has to bring the country together by utilizing the talents of both sides to build a consensus of opinion. This way the people will have a true voice in all matters. #2. The opposition needs to swallow their pride and accept the welcome hand of partnership and be willing to work for the good of all. From this formula will come the success we all desire.

Benghazi truth

Rafael Velez So here's the REAL story. Amb. Stevens was sent to Benghazi post haste in order to retrieve US made Stinger missiles supplied to Ansar al Sharia without Congressional oversight or permission. Hillary brokered the deal through Stevens and a private arms dealer named Marc Turi. Then some of the shoulder fired missiles ended up in Afghanistan used against our own military. It was July 25th, 2012 when a Chinook helicopter was taken down by one of our own Stingers, but the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile and the Chinook didn't explode, but had to land anyway. An ordnance team recovered the serial number off the missile which led back to a cache of Stingers being kept in Qatar by the CIA. Obama and Hillary were now in full panic mode and Stevens was sent in to retrieve the rest of the Stingers. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the stand down orders given to multiple commando teams. It was the State Dept, not the CIA that supplied them to our sworn enemies, because Petraeus wouldn't supply these deadly weapons due to their potential use on commercial aircraft. Then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus after he refused to testify that he OK'd the BS talking points about a spontaneous uprising due to a Youtube video. Obama and Hillary committed treason...and THIS is what the investigation is all about, why she had a private server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and why Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was because of a Youtube video, even though everyone knew it was not. Further...the Taliban knew that this administration aided and abetted the enemy without Congressional approval when Boehner created the Select Cmte, and the Taliban began pushing the Obama Administration for the release of 5 Taliban Generals. Bowe Bergdahl was just a pawn...everyone KNEW he was a traitor. So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised...and a woman that is a serial liar, perjured herself multiple times at the Hearing whom is running for POTUS. Only the Dems, with their hands out, palms up, will support her. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft was called in...because the administration knew our enemies had Stingers.
Copied and pasted...and pasted again and again and again until everyone reads this truth.... share copied

As this election approaches

As this election approaches I have tried to understand the phenomena that has taken over the republican party.  I feel that the party has fractured but it has been replaced with a real movement of the people by the people, Democrats, Republicans and independents.  Those who are tired of the political correctness that has done away with commonsense.  They are tired of watching our culture being taken hostage by a progressive movement dictated by people like George Soros.  They are tired of ridiculous and costly regulations being put upon us by non elected bureaucrats.  They are just plain tired of politics as usual where so much is promised and when elected nothing is accomplished.  They are tired of political hacks that forgotten that they represent the people and are not there to just get rich.  Tired of college professors and the N.E.A. of tainting the minds of our young, instead of teaching basic knowledge that will help them in life.   

Donald Trump is just the conductor of this train that is moving through this country at a rapid rate gathering energy as it goes.  He may swear or seem uncultured compared to those who have been groomed for office by the elite but he talks to the common man and woman in a way that they understand.  He surely doesn’t need a job and those who know him seem to understand that he loves this country and really wants to give back.  Yes he has an ego the size of Rhode Island but if anyone of us had accomplished what he has we most likely would be egotistical too.  This movement is bigger than anybody realizes and it’s about the things above not the man himself.  Donald Trump has proved he’s not a Saint but who among us are.  This movement is as much about finally doing away with the Harry Reid’s, Pelosi's & Hillary’s of politics then any party affiliation or traditional politics.  It’s about us, about our right to govern our lives in a sensible and commonsense way.  We are tired of things like gender manipulation, we want God back in our lives and teachers & professors who want to teach not indoctrinate our young.  We want jobs and a strengthened infrastructure in America not more Chinese junk.  No one I know has plans to take away the rights of Gay’s and Lesbians as the L.B.G.Q. community has stated.  We want fierce but honest law enforcement not vigilantes preying on minority communities.  We just want our country to live up to its billing, America, the land of the free and home of the Brave.     

A note from a friend

          Am I a misfit ?

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but… 

 

• I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.  • I am a fiscal  and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist.  • I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.                 
• I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.  • I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.  • I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.  • I am older than 70, which makes me a useless old man.  • I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much of what the main stream media tells me, which must make me reactionary. 
• I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.  • I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.  • I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.  • I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.  • I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.

                     * * *

Please help me come to terms with the new me… because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!  I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new- found changes in my life and my thinking!  I just can’t imagine or understand what’s happened to me so quickly!

 

 

Funny…it’s all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years!  And as if all this wasn’t enough to deal with.......I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!
