What Am I?

At times I wonder which political party I should be belong to. It seems like Christian people vote Republican today because of basically 2 issues-abortion and gay marriages. They may be Christians, but I think they miss the broad points oft spoken by Jesus; of helping the poor, making peace, protecting God’s creation and of accepting any who come to the table. I will also openly say here that I am not a perfect Christian either; there is no such person alive on this planet unless Jesus Christ Himself has already returned. For those of you that don’t follow Christian theology, the concept of Christians not being perfect, but forgiven, sums it up pretty well. The issues we should consider today are:(which I got from another blog http://christiandemocrat.us/blog )
1. The Economy – The GOP will forever favor big business and leave the small business owner in the dust of donation less requests. Democrats will use inspired programs to chase the worthy dreams of energy independence, environmental concerns and needed infrastructure improvements all of which will create jobs.

2. Fiscal Responsibility – Democrats don’t run up deficits. Yes, taxes may be higher but the selfishness of leaving a ton of debt to our children’s children is unconscionable. Worse, deficits sell our country out to the rest of the world. How much of this deficit is because of the war in Iraq? Which brings me to my next point.

3. End the War in Iraq – kind of a no-brainer, and truth is we will likely have forces there for some time but both Democratic Party candidates vow to bring our troops home. We support our troops without question. We do not support this war. I still believe the president did not like about the weapons of mass destruction. He received bad intel and acted on it. He just needs to admit it.

4. Immigration – all current candidates favor some form of immigration solution. It is an issue only in how we build better borders and how we indoctrinate those that are here that we will allow to stay. Very simply, as Reagan realized, we can’t afford to round up and send home 11 million people. We just need to put a cork in the bottle. But the juice that has already been spilled, just clean it up a little.

This is just a start. I am going to continue to examine what I do believe in the next few postings. Who are the truer Christians? Is it the Republicans because of the stance on abortion and gay marriages or is it the Democrats on the positions of helping the poor, preserving the Earth, and social issues? I have a outline in mind and plan to expand it more. Stay tuned.

My Best Friend

Here is a picture of my best friend and me. It was taken on our Second Honeymoon cruise to paradise.

How good is her memory?

Will did she or didn't she? Or maybe she forgot it was videotaped? Either way, her memory is not to good.

Modern Day Truths from the1700's

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves. - Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. - Thomas Jefferson

The natural process of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. - Thomas Jefferson

What a great slogan:

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." (B. Obama)




If this doesn't worry you.....forget I mentioned it.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

It has been so busy these past couple of weeks that I haven't found time to post anything worth reading. We have been getting ready for our vacation and it seems like every time I think of something worthwhile to post, I am either in the middle of doing something else or I am somewhere not accessible to a computer. When I get back, I promise to be more on top of things and start to post witty things that I am known for. lol. I want this to be a happy place. Full of joy and quippy things. NOT!!!!!!
I want my honesty to come out. I want people to know me and respect me for the things I have to say and not known for sugarcoating everything. That said...see ya in 2 weeks.

Even Russia has a Voice

Putin vs. Hillary

When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin "doesn't have a soul," I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn't be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.

He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn't pleased.

The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton — a leading Democratic candidate for president — when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:
"At a minimum, a head of state should have a head," Putin said.

Heres a site only a person like me can love. This is my inspiration.

Bye Bye Romney

Here is a good site to check out the candidates. FACTCheck

Another one down. Here is his concession speech and a video link
Two contenders are left on the Republican side as two are left on the Democrat side. My candidate is still in it. We are heading down the final stretch. Who will win the race?

Dropping Out

Two more dropped out last night. Both of them are actually a surprise to me, but with this race, anything can and probably will happen. So Long Sen. Edwards and Mayor Giuliani.



Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Sen. Fred Thompson
