Maybe, this February, Obama should say a few good words about Lincoln's hero, George Washington
"Washington is the mightiest name on earth -- long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in moral reformation.

On that name no eulogy is expected. It cannot be.

To add brightness to the sun, or glory to the name of Washington, is alike impossible. Let none attempt it.

In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked deathless splendor, leave it shining on."

Abraham Lincoln, February 22, 1842

For some reason this quote jumped out at me . . . maybe it's because I'm praying this is what our Republican leadership is doing.

No doubt.....you and I both have an agenda. The Soro-crats have an agenda.....a big, fat, destructive one at that.

But, the Republicans have NO agenda....haven’t had one since 1994, and they didn’t follow through with that one.

If they had, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

thoughts can help us get through this Obamamedia orgy

I'm going to work Tuesday. I will have done more for this country in those 8+ hours than Obama has done in his whole political life.

Oh, and I'm also going to pray for rain.....in D.C.

This nation’s recent suicide, and the forthcoming funeral is nothing I care to celebrate. The Ogoons are planning to kick the dead body around for the next four years, and we won’t be able to escape experiencing that. Why subject ourselves to torture before the enemy starts working on us? I’d rather spend my time thinking of ways to get back at the Omedia, while the Ogoons turn us into another Socialist disaster.

make that snow.

That would just be pretty and possibly considered symbolic. Rain, however, would be in supercold droplets that freeze on contact. What would warm the cockles of my heart would be a good old fashion, nasty ice storm. That's just to remind O and his church that it will be a cold day in hell before I'll ever support him.

"Beer"

My dentist didn't understand why I wanted the tooth extraction on the twentieth.
You and I will probably both have a headache on Wednesday.

What first comes to mind... is "Palin 2012!"

Then "When you are up to you ass in Democrats... remember, our damn party picked McCain over Fred or Duncan!"

Then comes...""

And finally, "Hey, I... found a hobot that didn't vote for nObama!"

You are most welcome.

Us "real Americans" (as Mark Levin says) must hang together through these tough times ahead.

The way to cope is not to watch. I haven’t watched a single cable news channel in over 5 months and I feel great, much better than I did when I was watching. It’s like living in a pure & sane world.
