Birds Of A Feather Flock Together.

  As the drum beat of political pressure grows louder for Attorney General,  Eric Holder,  to resign. You can bet the odds are,  it won't happen. President Obama,  doesn't need a political embarrassment right now. Unless the American,  people,  begin to  totally  demand it in the political polls regardless,  of what the House or Senate Republicans may want the odds,  are still pretty good for the Attorney General.
  Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wassermann Schultz,  and Senate majority Leader, Harry Reid,  have circled the wagons and have already pledged their support for Attorney General,  Eric Holder. My mother always says," Birds of a feather Flock together.' When you consider these particular birds Eric Holder, Debbie Wassermann Schultz, Harry Reid, and of course  President Obama, that's what I call a real fowl expression! There is no right or wrong in Washington today. Sometimes,  I think anyone can get away with anything if you happen to be in the political party who happens to be in power at the moment.Speaking just for myself, I don't think any of the liberal Democrats especially, President Obama, have any concept of right our wrong and President Obama,  seems to run the government the same way. I guess that's what the American,  people get when the elect a President,  who likes to fly by the seat of his pants and when it comes to running the government I guess you could say, the President likes to wing it! As always my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.

So Romney Can't Win It, That's Why Newt's Staying In It.

  Any conservatives in the Republican party who thought  that the race for the Republican presidential nomination was going to end any time soon had better think again! Governor Romney's,  loss in both the Alabama and Mississippi state primaries did nothing but guarantee that the GOP presidential nomination process will continue in fact, it looks as though there  may not be a republican nominee until the end of August at the end of the Republican national  convention in Tampa. Senator Rick Santorum, won both the Alabama and Mississippi primary respectively. Speaker Newt Gingrich,  finished second in both primaries. Some are asking Speaker Newt Gingrich,  to get out of the race.Senator Santorum, has certainly been hinting that Speaker Gingrich,  should get out of the race. A two man race would no doubt be better for both Governor  Romney, and Senator Santorum. Speaker Gingrich, however, has made it very clear that he intends to stay in the race to deny Governor Romney,  the 1144 delegates he needs to achieve the Republican nomination.
  I realize to many Newt Gingrich,  now seems to be perceived as a bit of a cry baby. Many,  feel that Speaker Gingrich, has a personal vendetta against Governor Mitt Romney, because of the massive amount of money Governor Romney,  spent running negative campaign adds against Newt Gingrich, just before the Florida, primary. There are those,  of course  who fell that  Senator Santorum,deserves a chance to run head to head against Governor Romney,  after all, Senator Santorum,  has more delegates than Speaker Gingrich.
 Speaking just for myself, I think it is true that Senator Santorum, will have a better chance to win if the GOP nominating process goes all the way to a brokered convention in Tampa. I also understand Speaker Gingrich's,  position he is 68 lets face it this is probably his last chance to run for president. Speaker Gingrich,  really believes he is the best choice to help solve America's many problems. Speaker Gingrich,  now realizes however, that a brokered convention is his only chance. Congressman Ron Paul, never really had a chance to win the GOP nomination. The only way Congressman Ron Paul,  becomes important now is if his few delegates would be enough to put one of the other three candidates over the top.
  Speaker Gingrich, has every right to stay in the race and so does Senator Santorum, many warn however,  that a nomination process that goes on until the end of August and isn't decided till all  the delegates are counted in Tampa will leave whoever the eventual Nominee is  so politically weakened that the then sixty days or so till the November election will not be enough time for the nominee to mount an effective campaign against President Obama.I would only hope the Republican Party,  doesn't spend so much time fighting the battle that is the primary season, that they lose the war that will be the November election against President Obama. I do not know how the GOP race will turn out but it appears,  at least for now that there is still a rough and long race ahead. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
 

Getting Down To The Nitty Gritty!

  Today the GOP  presidential candidates venture into the deep south in search of delegates. The southern  states of Alabama, and Mississippi will vote in their respective primaries today. Governor Romney,  has nothing to lose he only hopes to add to his delegate lead. Congressman Ron Paul, is just staying in the race to please his supporters and continue carrying  out his own personal crusade for freedom from government tyranny and constitutional liberty for all Americans. Senator Rick Santorum,  hopes too pick up a substantial amount of delegates in order to prove he is the true conservative alternative to Governor Romney. I would have to say for Speaker Newt Gingrich, this is his last stand he must win at least one state and do pretty well in the other in order to make the case to his supporters that he still has a shot for the Republican Presidential nomination. Right now,  in both Mississippi and Alabama the polls say it's just too close to call.
  I don't know who the real winner will be today. I will say this, I wish Governor Romney,  would not call these southern primaries an away game. The Governor would do well to remember that he is now a way down south in Dixie  and to  many in the deep south Governor Romney, is still just a northern Yankee. The truth is, I don't care which one of these candidates has ate the most varieties of grits I will be happy if America ends up with a candidate that has real true grit. I hope one of the candidates will rise above the Grit and grime of politics and concentrate on the real substantive issues that are facing all Americans,  right now. Americas certainly have much to be concerned about everything from an uncertain economic future to national security concerns in the middle east that threaten the very existence of the world as we know it. Gas prices show no signs of coming down and in more than one American home that I know of often even if your lucky enough to have a job your take home pay won't take you home! Let's just say I think we need to get  down to the nitty gritty and worry about the things that are  vital for the economic social, spiritual and cultural survival of this nation.
  I don't know who will win in the southern primaries today. There seems to be a real possibility that the GOP presidential candidate race could go all the way to the convention in Tampa. There is one thing I am sure of however, any one  of the  Republican candidates would make a better president than President Obama, has been thus far. Goodness knows, I don't think anyone could do much worse therefore, even if my particular Republican presidential candidate does not receive the nomination for president I will grit my teeth and go ahead and vote for whoever does  because  any one  of these choices are far better than what Americans have now. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Needless Tragedy, A Painful Part Of War.

  I saw the news last night. What can I say I am so very sorry for the needless tragedy in Afghanistan. No reasonable person likes to see innocent people get hurt. The truth is though, sometimes, innocent people get hurt by accident but it's really hard to take when a tragedy happens and there is no rhyme or reason for it. I can't help thinking that the soldier who committed this tragic act had seen too much war and finally his mind just snapped. I suppose, that is something like post dramatic stress disorder.
 I suspect, there will be a huge out cry from many for the US to get out of Afghanistan. I can understand that feeling I guess but,  what I don't understand is this how many times has the United States, tried to help free a county and how many countless lives of Americans have been lost and not one time that I can recall any county even bothering to say thanks. The United States has the best Military in the World and ninety nine percent of the time they do their job flawlessly yet, one tragedy, like this one in Afghanistan and for many, that is all they will remember. Many will now forget the schools, hospitals food medicine and all kinds of aid the US provides to the countries we try to protect.
  I will confess to you there are times when I wonder if it is all worth it. As an American though,  I realize America,  has vital military interest which must be protected for the sake of national Security.When America decides not to protect countries that need protection what other country do you suppose will step up and do  it? I don't know if the US will move up the time table for an exit out of Afghanistan. I do know any hope Afghanistan,  had to be a free an independent country will be gone when the US leaves. You know just once, I wish just one country could say thank you to America for all the good we have done around the world. Sometimes,  I wonder what the world would have been like if there had never been an America? I may often ask myself that question, I pray however I never have to find out. President John F Kennedy, once said,"Success has a thousand fathers but failure is an orphan." I'm sure many in our military at this moment fell like an orphan.Speaking just for myself, I respect our military and I will always keep them in my thoughts and prayers. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Sometimes, Inorance Really Is Bliss

  I found my self just trying to back up some files today on my computer and you would have thought it was rocket science or something. I tried and tried but I just couldn't do it. I finally called my best friend and he talked me through it. I will confess to you,  there is still much about computers in general that I am just ignorant about and sometimes my little girl seems to know more than I do!
  Computers,  are great when they work. There is just a ton of information you can find out all at your finger tips however,  therer  is some information I don't want my daughter to know at least, not just yet. I heard on the news this week that some children were curious about where babies come from. Instead of bothering to ask their parents they simply Googled that question on their parents computer. I 'm sure they received a wealth of information complete with pictures!
  My daughter,  is nine and just a year ago she still believed in Santa Clause, I know children mature and ask questions at different ages. When my daughter,  begins to ask about the birds and the bees that is a conversation my wife and I will have with her. There is such a big hurry to grow children up these days and I'm not in that big of a hurry! I don't know about others but as for me I have made up my mind that no computer is going to do for me what I feel is a parent's job to do. We live in an age where society demands children grow up too fast I always stay very aware of  what ever my child is doing when she is on the computer. I don't let her go anywhere I don't want her to I want to hang on to her innocence as long as I can. I don't think that makes me a bad person or a bad parent. You know parents,  really are a childs' first teacher. That's a job I want to keep a bit longer. as always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words to think on.

Some Things Are Uncalled For.

  In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell,  invented the telephone. Over the years many improvements have been made on the telephone. We now have cell phones so small they can fit in almost any pocket and a call can be made from almost anywhere.Remember the old slogans for the phone company? Reach out and touch someone. Remember when you would hear the phone ring and then some one would say Avon calling! There is no doubt the telephone was a wonderful invention and a great help to people all over the world.
  President Obama, certainly knows how to use the telephone. I'm sure he has a hot line that can put him  in in touch with every world leader at a moments notice. I am told he called Kim Jong -Un and congratulated him when he became the new leader of North Korea. The President, recently called Vladimir Putin, and congratulated him for winning the election to become Russia's President again. I am even told President Obama,  recently took time out of his busy day to call Sandra Fluke, To apologize For Rush Limbaugh's,  less than thoughtful remarks. I guess the President,  has the time to call just about anybody he wants to I an sure he called his buddy, Bill Maher,  to thank him for his Million dollar contribution to his reelection campaign. The President,  even called leading democrats in the Senate to ask them not to vote in favor of the Key stone pipeline. The President,  is very proficient when it comes to using the telephone. I guess he has time to call just about anyone except maybe Sarah Palin, to apologize for Bill Maher's totally,  uncalled for remarks.
  Remember in 2008 when then presidential candidate Hilary Clinton,  said she was qualified to take the three AM  phone call if the United States should ever come under attach? Well I heard in the news a while back that President Obama, sometimes gets tired of Israel's Prime Mister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him so much in fact he said he had to deal with him almost everyday. I was just wondering, what the President will do the day he receives his three AM. phone call from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad informing him that they have just launched a nuclear weapon aimed at Israel? This is one call I hope our President never has to take. I think the President,  needs to do whatever it takes to make sure that Iran never becomes a nuclear threat. This is a decision and a call only the President,  can make personally, I think letting Iran develop nuclear weapons is totally, uncalled for! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Put Your Dirty Money Where Your Dirty Mouth Is.

  I don't know about you but when I was growing up if I ever would have used some of the degrading filthy and vile language that is often used today  when some so called men refer to women my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap and my father would have knocked me into next week!
  I am a Christian,  first and a conservative second. I will confess to you some times I can lose my temper and say something I shouldn't but I'm never proud of myself when I let that happen. I will tell you, I was some what disappointed in Rush Limbaugh, when he used a terrible term referring to Ms. Fluke.I don't agree with Ms. Fluke's position on having the government have the Catholic owned Georgetown  law school pay for her birth control but no woman should be referred to in degrading terms. President Obama called Ms. Fluke to apologize for Rush Limbaugh's remakes. Rush is human, and he made a mistake, but at least he apologized for it.
  Now, how is it that the so called comedian Bill Maher, whose mere existence has been nothing but a joke and not a very funny one at that, can call Sarah Palin, such vile names I can't even bring myself to put them in print but he receives a pass on this disgusting speech because he is a so called comedian?Where was her phone call from President Obama, for Bill Maher's gutter remarks? Where was Bill Maher's apology to Sarah Palin? Where was President Obama's call to Bill Maher,  demanding that he apologize to Sarah Palin? I can think of at least a million reasons why President Obama, didn't demand that Bill Maher apologize to Sarah Palin. Apparently,  President Obama's moral standards can be set aside if the price is right!
  Bill Burton,  said in a recent interview, that Bill Maher, is a comedian, and should not be held to the same standard as Rush Limbaugh. I agree Rush had enough moral standards to admit he made a terrible mistake and he had the decency to apologize to Sandra Fluke. Bill Maher,  doesn't even know what a moral standard is much less have any! Having a filthy mouth is not liberal or conservative,  it's not left or right, it's not republican or democrat it's just sad repulsive, and wrong. I think if President Obama,has any real moral decency he would have his super pack return the million dollar campaign contribution,  to his potty mouthed friend Bill Maher, but since that would be the honorable thing to do, I won't hold my breath waiting for the President to do that.All women,  deserve respect  and  treating them with anything less is anything but funny! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
