AMERICA-The Right Way: Staying Vigilant!(Feb.23-Feb.27, 2009)[Remember 9-11!]
All of Us | 2/22/09 | Various News Sources and FRee Republic Members

Good evening!

In another major address this week, President Obama will outline further economic plans: to cut the federal deficit in half over the course of his first term, to raise taxes on "the wealthiest" Americans, winding down the war in Iraq, and it's reported, raising business taxes.

The Republicans in Congress will have their work cut out for them to oppose tax increases in a time of business downturn, but it needs to be done, and they need our help to oppose the increases.

Continue to make calls, emails, talk to everyday folks you know.

LOL! Talking to yourself is good because you don’t get much backtalk.

That’s great that you’re writing some each day. Tough discipline to be home and work at it, though, isn’t it? I can always think of something I need to do around the house. Of course, I don’t have a maid, you lucky girl. Did she come back, BTW?

Nope, she hasn’t come back. And, I asked one of the school’s workers if she wouldn’t mind working for me three nights a week, ironing and mopping. Sure, she said. Sunday, she went off into the jungle.

I pay them an office worker’s wage but for us it is only $3.38, about that much. You’d hire someone too, if it cost only that much.

This didn’t come out so much after the election, but after the Porkulus bill was proposed and enacted. That gigantic monstrousity was crammed down our throats and it seems that there is no other way to preserve the United STATES of America than to consider drastic methods.

If that Porkulus wasn’t on the table, I don’t think the other would be considered.

A point of history, it was a scant 13 years after the French and Indian War until the Revolution. The tide of public opinion changed as the draconian measures of King George III were enacted. If it took only that amount of time for the public to learn what happened and come together, how much quicker things can be communicated today.

I am truly fearful for the land of the United States of America.

Probably the most danger our republic has been in since its creation. Bedtime. Goodnight.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have had a perfectly lousy day. I am tired and crabby. I was going non-stop from 7:15 this morning until getting home from choir just now. My nerves are frazzled.

......and I walked in the door and my husband is listening to The Annointed One and he has the TV turned up really loud and THAT VOICE drives me right up the wall so I am in here with the door shut listening to a CD cranked up really loud.

There is a soldier in NE Wisconsin who, while home on leave from Iraq, decided the war is immoral and decided not to go back. He has been given a deadline to return, after which he will be declared AWOL. He has been all over the news telling his story and making his case, such as it is. One of the women in my theatre group asked me what I thought of it. I told her I preferred to concentrate on the 3500 SOLDIERS WHO ARE WILLINGLY DOING THEIR DUTY......the ones who just left for TX and will be heading to Iraq. She said, well, he sure is getting a lot of attention. I said yes, and it's a shame.

Have I mentioned recently how really really really grateful I am for all of your support, you ATRW-ers?

'Cuz believe me, I get a lot of rolled eyes and "I just don't understand why they're still over there" when I tell people about Ev's deployment. Much more than last time. And it gets to me. It SHOULDN'T, but it DOES. The other day I got an earful of "we should just stop invading everybody" and "the economy is bad! Why are we spending money on war?" from a university student. I reminded him that we didn't start this fight, and that our national security trumps every other issue, but he just walked away.

Anyway....I've been on the verge of breaking down in tears all day long and I think I'll go do that right now.

Good night everyone.

Good night Mozie. Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite, and remember that God loves you, as we do here.

Endure
by Bobi
If I can endure for this moment,
whatever is happening to me.
No matter how heavy my heart,
or how dark the moment may be.
If I can but keep on believing,
what I know in my heart to be true.
Then darkness will fade into morning,
and with this dawn a new day, too.

Good night to you too Mozie!

Oh, did your post strike a nerve here. Last week a good friend (whose views are the same as mine, I thought) said think of all the ways we could have spent that money instead of being in Iraq. I was speechless. I’ve been avoiding her since then. If we had had another attack on our soil, would they have been glad we kept our troops home?

No TV was on here. Just blessed silence in the house. I cannot stand the imposter’s voice. Or views. Or lies.

I hope you are able to sleep soundly. Then you can better cope when you’re rested.

It was good. I chunked in a bunch of tomatoes and onions. That was our veggie.

How is that redesign coming?

I think we’re missing each other today. I’m getting off the ‘net as this is dial-up. Friday we are getting the “speedy” internet. The school satellite is just not doing the job.

BBL maybe

The redesign is not working so far. The panel is still breaking. The spacecraft loads engineer is looking at tweaking the loads down if possible. I'm not real optimistic as high as the stresses are. There are 2 or 3 options still out there.

Today is the Republican men's Bible study. My first time there. I don't leave for 3 more hours, so I'll be here for a while.

Saw Mozie's post from last night. Poor Mozie. I would have lost it had I walked in my home and heard that monster's demonic voice blasting, especially after what she went through with the idiots that don't get why we are at war.
