A New Madam Trillion Dollar Deficit

I guess you hear that Madam Deficit (i.e. His Royal Lowness Obama) has declared that our national debt has been bumped up to $9 TRILLION DOLLARS!? And they want to take control of our health care??!!

No way Jose!

I'm a bit of an amateur historian. This morning we watched the special on History International called "The French Revolution" (1789–1799). The show explained how the politically impudent King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette where overthrown by the common people. In a nut shell, it's how the nobility lived high on the hog, the cost of flour sky rocketed from high taxes and famine causing the average people to starve to death. The economy was in shambles.

Having had enough, the down trodden people called for "an enlightenment" and stampeded the government, taking it apart (literally) brick by brick.

It was the end of monarchies in France, but it led from one tyranny to another.

There's a lot of parallels between what happened in pre-French Revolution and what's happening here now.

Our country is deeply (irrevocably?) in debt. We feel like our politicians are NOT listening to us. Even my beloved Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) who has faithfully voted against the Pres. George W. Bush 'stimulus' plan, has been making some statements about this Healthcare debacle that really has me riled. Now he feels like he can school us on how to eat to reduce costs!? "Excuse me!? Get the heck out of my life Jack!" I'm tired of others thinking that they are better than us and can tell us how to live.

I very much fear that because of the ineptitude's of this administration and the previous one, we are heading for another Civil War.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope you'll join me in prayer that our 'revolution' will be a velvet one ... peaceful and lawful. We still have the Constitution of the United States. I believe in this documents words with all my heart because it reflects God's word in it's equalities and common sense.

I believe this so wholeheartedly that I've ordered at my own expense 50 pocket US Constitutions to carry around and hand out to those interested. They are available from The Heritage Foundation.


Be careful, you politians, that you don't utter "Let them eat cake" for I fear this will cause many to storm the gates and demand some heads on a stick next elections.

Now Frommer's Calling Us Names!

Arthur Frommer
As all my friends know, I'm a strong pro-carry person. I always carry a gun, even on the motorcycle. It's everyone's right as a law abiding American Citizen to be armed. I think this is especially important for women to be properly protected. There's been a couple of times that simply a quick branishing of the weapon has kept a possible 'perp' from getting out of hand.

Now it seems that Arthur Fromer of Frommer's Travel Guides, thinks that because I, and many other patriotic citizens, carry weapons we are "thugs" and "extremists". Well, I take exception to that and am deeply offended. I will never use his travel books again! And we travel frequently.

Just thought y'all might want to know about this little development.

Travel Icon Says He'll Avoid Arizona Because of Gun Laws

PHOENIX — Travel icon Arthur Frommer says he won't be spending his tourism dollars at the Grand Canyon, or anywhere else in Arizona, because the state's laws allow people he described as "thugs" and "extremists" to openly carry firearms.

The author of budget-travel guides said on his blog Wednesday that he was "shocked beyond measure" by reports that protesters openly carried guns and rifles outside a Phoenix building where President Barack Obama spoke on Monday.

Frommer says he won't personally travel in a state where civilians carry loaded weapons as a means of political protest.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he spoke with Frommer Thursday and invited him to visit the city to clear up any possible misconceptions about safety.

...apparently Frommer does ...

Hurricane Lily by Linda Ann Davis

Hurricane Lily
I thought y'all would like a nice change of pace today.

The poem below was written by a distant Sweat family cousin of mine. She's a very nice lady what lives in Florida.

Linda submitted this fun poem to the Elder Story Telling. The web site accepts submissions from anyone over 50. Their instructions are briefly "All elders, 50 and older, are welcome to submit stories for this blog. They can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, etc." If you leave one there, let me know. I'd like reading it too.

Enjoy!

Hurricane Lily
By Linda Ann Davis

Dancing in the wind at summer’s end
Twas a lily, bright orangish red
With up-curved stamens that bend,
Makes spider-like bloom, it is said.

Why is it named Hurricane?
A lily that was meant to be
Born in rushing wind, flooding rain,
So very beautiful to see.

Created by the Master one day.
To celebrate this fierce season
Exotic African bloom mapped its way
As category-storms come a breezin’

Soon the end of summer’s heat,
All the flowers are now faded.
The gardener’s hoe, he does seek,
For dead lilies are sadly dated.

The Obama Corruption Continues ~ Petrobras

A Brazilian oil company, Petrobras, is receiving a loan from the US Government to invest in off-shore drilling in Brazil with the urging and blessings of the Obama Administration. Something that the Obama Administration will not allow American oil companies to do. Stranger still Billionaire George Soros has invested 800 million dollars in Petrobras for this project. George Soros has funded all this liberal enterprises like ACORN.

How do you spell PAYBACK and BRIBES!?

And the Demoncrat corruption continues ...

Big Brother Gets Big Black Eye, Runs Home Crying To Mommy

More good news! It appears that all our e-mailing and complaining TO the WHITE House has paid off.

I even 'flagged' myself with a "come and get me" dare. Why don't you flag yourself too? Take the graphic and put your own picture in it. Go ahead ... have fun!

I found this article referenced at Facebook from one of the many patriot groups I follow there (Small Business Against Big Government).

FOX News' Major Garrett contributed to the on-line report "White House Makes Security Changes to Web Site Following Complaints Over E-Mails" here

Apparently, the illegal e-mail address has been taken off-line.

Keep up the good work folks! We've got them running home to Mommy, scratching their backsides, crying foul.

News Alert: ObamaCare May Be Dropped!

Our prayers are being heard! I have been on a self-imposed 'fasting' and praying stint for our country and situation. Please, keep praying dear Saints in Christ! God loves us SO MUCH and hears our prayers! He is working miracles. Even though our country certainly doesn't deserve mercy for allowing the murder of untold thousands of unborn and other things, Jesus is graciously showing great compassion to us.

Here's the news ...

From John Thune: "It appears the administration might be prepared to drop plans for a government-run health program. As I told a South Dakota newspaper last week, all 40 GOP Senators would stand firm against a government-run plan. Please continue to s...peak out against ... health care run by government that places committees of politicians between you and your doctors.

Get the latest news and sign the petition here."

I see that there are other blogs I follow with similar information. Even in the commie lib central San Francisco, ObamaCare is not very popular!! Thank you! Thank you ... to all how are protesting, praying, signing petitions, educating our neighbors and taking a stand. It pays to be civil and trust God.

Now, we need to please keep working on elimating the Cap & Trade bill, Cash For Clunkers, Czars and other things. But we're whittling away at the evil eating our collective American souls.

Y'all have a blessed day. I know I am. Thank you for stopping by. :)

Our 30th Wedding Anniversary

In 1979, Steve and I stood before a Notary Public and said our "I do's". 30 years later, we're still together, more in love than ever.

I thought y'all might enjoy some of our old wedding photos.

We shared our "I Do's"

Our First Dance As Husband And Wife
