Viva la resistance!
History is strewn with well documented struggles of God fearing people yearning to be free. Some despots attempted to kill all opposition, only to fail. Some made govt God, but people of faith never wavered. Good
It's not me, it's you!
Dear GOP,
I think we may need some time apart, we haven't been getting along & you won't listen to what's important to us.
I know nobody gets along on every issue, but our values are really important to us. For instance, if we don't have money to spend we live within our budgets, whereas you believe because you have checks left you can keep spending. We can't go on this way anymore.
A trial separation may be necessary so you can see how lonely you will be without us. I dare say you will be powerless to exist without our support. You may think you don't need us now but I believe you will be at a complete loss by 2014 if you don't make things right with us & you'll come crying back later.
If you have a change of heart it's time for some significant changes in our relationship, you can let us know by having your actions reflect what matters to us. Until then, we'll act like ex's & we'll talk about you like a dog as ex's do.
Most sincerely,
The Tea Party

Obama's & the ghosts...the unemployment lie!
The great magic Obama is performing with these bogus jobs numbers is in the writing off in massive quantities of workers from the rolls. When you don't collect unemployment, you become a ghost. Well, I'm one of those ghosts, so I can tell you what life is like now.
I was in the DC metro area for many moons, made a good living in over 2 decades, lastly in finance. I saw the crash coming and hightailed it to NC. Sold my beloved house before values went to hell & poof I was gone. I found a decent job & enjoyed the first year here in NC. At this time I had to stop working for nearly a year with necessary back fusion. When I started looking at employment again the jobs were GONE. It didn't take long til I started seeing 20 y.o.'s doing my job for 1/2 to 1/3 of what I made, so that got me to looking outside the box at stuff a 50+ guy could do. I'm now a PART TIME landlord for over 50 houses & have a small computer repair company. I look at my new adventures in self employed businesses as fun, but I don't come close to making the money I used to. As I said to the govt, I am a ghost except for a tax return.
My point is MANY Men & Women have stories like mine. Former professionals doing whatever they need to do to survive in a VERY changed world. They too have discovered kids coming out of college will work for a lot less & as we know money trumps experience in a BAD economy.
We can restore our country in many ways, but it will take decades to fix this mess. It can't happen with Obama at the helm, he is destroying our economy and fudging numbers to hide his failures. Come together America, Elect Mitt Romney & save our country!
We may be ghosts, but we do VOTE and we do have VOICES!

The human hand - My fave Alan Alda M*A*S*H scene
Look at your hand. It’s one of the most incredible instruments in the universe.
Of all the bones in the body, one fourth are in the hand.
Forget the hand. Look at your thumb; that wondrous mechanism that separates us from the other animals.
The world-famous opposable thumb, that amazing device,that has transported more students to college than the Boston post road. Ideal for sucking, especially as a baby, and lauded in song and story as the perfect instrument for pulling out a plum.
Or, in the case of the Caesars, for holding it down for the gladiator to die, or holding it up, which means "See you later at the orgy." My friends, for getting up and down the pike, in your pie, in your eye, I give you the thumb.
Have you any idea, Farmer Brown, of the incredible complexity of this piece of human apparatus?
Of course not. Never having spent any time at Sol and Sol’s swilling borscht and jamming Latin into your brain while trying to imagine if Lefty the waitress is wearing a garter belt, you have no idea of the balletic interplay of parts that make up the human thumb.
The flexor ossis metacarpi pollicis flexes the metacarpal bone, that is, draws it inward over the palm, thus producing the movement of opposition. And the Boy Scout salute. Because of this magical engineering, we could do this. And this. And this.
But our greatest triumph comes not from flexing the metacarpal bone and making a fist,
which always seems to be thirsting to be clenched…No, no, no, no, no.
Our greatest moment is when we open our hand:
Cradling a glass of wine, cupping a loved one’s chin. And the best… the most expert of all…
keeping all the objects of our life in the air at the same time. [begins to juggle] My friends, for your amusement and bemusement, I give you the human person. Thumb and fingers flexing madly, straining to keep aloft the leaden realities of life: ignorance, death and madness. Thus we create for ourselves the illusion that we have power,that we are in control, that we are… loved"

Twitter is heroin to a blog
I don't know about you but I get involved in time consuming conversations or topics oh so easily & I do it gladly. Blogging is different by not being character limited. I think I may have a Twee-problem.
Being the short attention span geek I am Twitter works. Zip here, zip there, but it's like Twee-crack or Twee-heroin. It's the first thing I do, after coffee of course, and the last thing I do at night. Maybe I need a Twee-chiatrist?
Granted, of course, I have valid reason with Obama sucking and all. But perhaps that's just another symptom of the Twee-addiction speaking.
Anyway, the point is If you want me to get focused on blogging more, give me a topic & a kick in the ass. Y'all know me, I get to ranting and well......Obamagottago! :)

The day after Wisconsin:
Yesterday was a big day for the Tea Party. After being called everything but patriotic Americans for the last two years, Wisconsin Patriots made a huge statement that undoubtedly has Democrats crapping themselves today.
We were no fluke in 2010 & despite MSM's insistence that the Tea Party was dead & gone, thanks to a stunning defeat, they now know better.
Accusations of cheating, spending out of state money & lots of it are flying around like Obama's drones today. The truth is Liberals were beaten at their own game & they have no idea where to go from here or how to spin it.
Momentum is a beautiful thing and WE HAVE IT! Keep it going till the main event in November when we defeat the Marxist in chief & take our Republic back. I'll post another blog soon.
Patriots ROCK & Obama sucks! Life is good! :)
