Health Care ~ Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

I feel like I'm in the middle of the cheesy sci-fi movie from the 70's "Soylent Green"!!! Only this time our country is being run by black gangsters gone wild.

Here are a few pages from the monster bogus bill you might want to clue your congressmen in on:

Contact your Representatives and let them know how you feel about this! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE NEEDLESSLY WITH THIS BILL!! We, as a country, cannot afford another 1000 page bill to go through congress without being read. Another 500 pages to go.

The ACORN Link To Barak Hussein Obama

The Apollo Alliance
(there is a short advertisement at the start)
As Obama continues to try and distance himself from his ties to ACORN, The Glenn Beck program has showed the link between all the side government he keeps creating. The corrupt Obama Administration's social justice and "green" jobs are tied to ACORN and there are some new organizations that are important to learn about too: The Tides Center and The Apollo Alliance for example. They all tie into ACORN (now known as COI - Community Organizations International).

This is so very important y'all. Please take the time to listen and learn. As we the American people who love the Constitution and our freedoms bring this infectious bacteria of evil to the light, it kills the organism.

All our efforts matter and this is not going unnoticed.

But we must keep fighting and learning to win against the forces of darkness.

God bless you fellow Prayer Warriors!

Hudson Motorcar Company

Cars. TM & © 1995- Disney/Pixar
We were watching the Disney movie "Cars" on DVD last night, and one of the 'characters' in the animated movie is a Hudson Hornet.

That got me to wondering about the Hudson Motorcar Company. Could the company have been created by a relative?

It turns out there really was a 1951 Hudson Hornet and it was indeed fast ... fast for it's day, anyway!

"In 1909, four former associates of Ransom E. Olds (Roy Chapin, Howard Coffin, Frederick Bezner and James Brady) began building a line of cars that became known for value, performance and solid engineering.

Each of the founders put up $1,500, not much by auto industry standards, even in those days. The big bankroller was Joseph L. Hudson, department store magnate who invested $90,000 in the new motor-car venture. Hudson's portion was by far the largest investment. Roy Chapin, who emerged as the leader of Hudson Motor Car Co. and whose son, Roy Jr., would later run American Motors, the result of a merger of Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson, prudently decided to name the car after the man who put up most of the money.

The Hudson Motor Car Co. came to life in the winter of 1909, with a total capitalization of $100,000. First factory was that of the Aerocar, a venture that had gone under. Chapin and Coffin both were "graduates" of Ransom Olds' Olds Motor Works. They subsequently had built the Thomas-Detroit and the Chalmers-Detroit before launching Hudson."

In the 1930's Hudson was an innovator with its Essex and Terraplane lines, offering a choice of either six or eight cylinder engines. The Company was the first to use "unibody" designs. Eventually Hudson languished, merged with others and moved on to other endeavors.

1951 Hudson Hornet
After reading about the Company, I decided to study more about the man behind the money, Joseph Lowthian Hudson and his genealogy. I was curious to whether he was one of my husband's distant cousins or not.

According to other researchers, Joseph L. Hudson was born Oct. 17, 1846 in England and died Jul. 5, 1912 in England from a bout with pneumonia. He earned his money by being a Department store magnate in Detroit. He is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan. I did a little more digging and Joseph was the son of Richard Hudson (b:c1820 New Castle-Upon-Tyme, England) and wife Elizabeth Lowthian (b: c1824 England).

Joseph never married, but his brothers and sisters did. Looks like he's not one of hubby's long-lost cousins but probably back somewhere in the murky waters of history, he and hubby are related. He may be one of the "lost" direct descendants of hubby's original Gentleman Henry "Harry" HERDSON, or a brother of same, but that is beyond my expertise and current monetary situation.

Well, it was fun learning about yet another Hudson anyway and a car company I'd never paid much attention to until today.

Calling All Activists! ObamaCare May Pass The House

Since when did it become a "right" to have health care?! It is not a right, it is a priviledge.

I'm what the economists would call middle Middle Class (not upper, not lower). When I was younger, first one got an education. Those of us with ambition actually stuck out those miserable 12 years of Public School and received a cheaply printed diploma that stated as such. Then with said diploma in hand, I went out and secured the best paying job I could find with my limited skills that offered benefits. I worked my way up the corporate ladder, acquiring skills and connections along the way, through dedication and hard work. No one else did it for me. I never dreamed of asking for help from the government.

Now these evil leaders in Washington want to take more freedoms away from us. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claims to now have the votes to pass ObamaCare in House.

ObamaCare, or as I call it, ObamaSnare, is nothing more than another government run scam to take over our economy and rob us of any vestiges of freedom we have left. This is not reform either, it's a back door way to pay black reparations money and has NOTHING TO DO WITH REFORM!

Ok, you wonderful activists 'out there' whom I could just hug (I wish I could buy you all lunch, really, God bless you), it's again time to hit the e-mails, phone calls, letters, whatever to convince the 'blue dog' democrat's to vote against this bill. Please don't give up. Also, please pray extra urgently about this, as my husband and I have.

For more info on who to contact, please visit: Left Coast Rebel and/or Just a conservative girl.

Honestly, if I lived in California, I think I would go so far as to threaten these so called representatives with a "you have to come home sometime ..." [clearing throat] These ObamaSnare pushers are nothing less than traitors and should be hung for such.

And again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless you for your support! I will be so thankful when I can go back to not thinking about politics every day. If we keep after the evil with The Light Of Truth, then evil must run to the darkness. KEEP THOSE LIGHTS OF LIBERTY SHINING!!

Funny Friday (07/24)

Have a great weekend everyone ... seriously. [tee hee]

Just Call Me Money Bags

Can anyone explain this poster to me? I know, it's a military gentleman in his camo fatigues on a matching couch. But the "made of hidden and sleep" is beyond my comprehension. It's cute though, don't ya think?

That's what I need this afternoon, more sleep again. I set the alarm and arose at O'Dark Thirty to start surveying again at the Greenlawn Cemetery in nearby Waycross. This cemetery is so huge it's probably going to take me all summer to complete. What am I doing this for? Welllll ... I'm photographing all visible tombstones for genealogy research. I place all known information at a web site appropriately titled "Find A Grave". By the way, if any of y'all are ever researching family members in this little part of the world, me and several other unselfish contributors, are placing all this data on-line. Sweeeet.

On another subject. This week is turning out to be rather costly for us.

First the giant pine tree had to be removed on Monday. [$$cha-ching$$]

Then, the Hustler Zero Turning Radius mower needed three new blades in mid-season because we're not only cutting our grass but an invalid neighbors. It's also running our gasoline bill up. [sigh]

The car was due for it's 6 month oil change and my husband only uses the best grade available. He takes very good care of our chariots. No complaints there but add another [$$cha-ching$$] and a [heavier sigh].

Then, the self-same neighbor mentioned above had to be rushed to the hospital again and she asked me to take care of her five big smelly hounds. Of course, there was no food, soooo, that came out of our paycheck. [GROAN]

Can we please stop spending money NOW?! [lol]

Good news though, the stock market is up and gasoline prices are down. Also, hubby is cooking a very scrumptious smelling Boston Butt on the cooker. He's making 'pulled pork' (the odor is driving me NUTS with hunger!!). Oh, and I hear that there aren't enough votes to pass that fascist Cap and Trade bill. Wahoo!! It's not a done deal yet, but I'm feeling all "Wahoo" about it. [lol] Now if the Senate will just strike down the ObamaCare, we're cookin' with gas.

Well, I'm gonna pig out [giggle] on the pulled pork then I'm going to hide under the bed and turn off all the phones until Monday and hope nothing else needs fixing, repairing, removing or feeding.

Well, it's a thought anyway ... [lol]

A Recommended Website ~ HawksCafe

Our nations illustrious leaders are involved in international organizations (ad hoc, not overtly recognized) which actively carry out criminal actions. Of course, the mainstream media, except for occasionally Fox News, is not reporting any of this. Glenn Beck is telling us as much as he has time for, but I can't think of anyone else on TV that is.

I hope the following may be useful to explain some aspects of what one can see at the following recommended website.

Two men run a small but very efficient Yahoo! Group where they post hard data about our politians and others nefarious activities. The two men began to work together when they worked to discover why & how the Able Danger group was stopped from pursuing Osama Bin-Laden before 9/11. Now I have your attention! Yep. The military stopped persuing said criminal under our government's orders.

Hawks Cafe began as a news source at a legitimate web based news site called Canadian Free Press. Hawks Cafe 'broke' the story of Able Danger, because they found it, entirely on their own. The rest of the 'net world gave it a yawn and went on with the usual political football game. The two men became collaborators, and dug deeper to discover much uglier background data on left wing elite. No doubt this very serious work is archived, disseminated and read carefully by countless people, around the world thanks to their hard work and risking their lives to tell the story.

Able Danger was a US Special Forces under Southern Command, in Florida, set up to 'search or 'data mine' the open internet, in order to find Osama Bin Laden, et al, before 911. Turns out that members of the Clinton administration were stopping them because of many well connected, wealthy individuals who had illegal business dealings with Bin Laden.

The two men who run the Hawks Cafe Yahoo! Group are highly respected. One is a former Schlumberger field & research engineer with credentials & education in physics which boggle the mind. The other is a straight-up retired military fighter jock & longtime airline pilot - some 52 years military & civilian airline.

I suggest that anyone interested in getting a handle on what sort of international criminals are actually running 'the show' we see, take a look at perhaps two dozen of the posted messages on Hawks Cafe. I had a hard time at first, but don't be discouraged by the jargon, and the density of what you see. You may scan many messages and find some which are more easily understood - allowing you to begin to see which of our more famous elite are involved with the darkest of law firms, unusual alliances and overt business enterprises (all of which carry out peculiar activities). The messages posted have of necessity run in an ever-wider pattern-like a spider web which grows geometrically, as the people, activities and connections expand-over a growing territory.

It's a lot like ACORN and their nefarious activies, which, I think the 'poo' is about to hit the fan on that. At least I'm hoping that's so and will believe it when it happens. There's a group of politicians (I forget whom) are bringing corruption charges against ACORN. Good show guys! We need to pray for them that the truth will be brought to light.

The retired military/airline fellow, Field McConnell, has removed himself from his substantial family ranch in the Dakotas, to Kazakhstan, and, after reading their work for several years, I can see why. No doubt he needed to be in a place where he could hire the sort of protection he required, and a place which would allow his security people to actually defend him. If things continue as they have, all of us who believe in freedom may be moving there soon too! Hawks Cafe has exposed the very highest corruption, and they have the most powerful govenment at their beck & call.

Among the things I have seen at Hawks Cafe Group is the incredible story on how a great deal of money is raised for villainous activities by bad people. For instance, the practice of buying huge numbers of life insurance policies on unsuspecting peasants and other folks in third world countries -- who are about to be killed in civil insurrections. A nice legal game, and innocent people die. Consider that the fellows at Hawks Cafe have explained that this is how the infamous George Soros began: by buying insurance on his fellow Jews, then betraying them to the Nazis.

Neat trick.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
