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.
Good Morning.
I am leaving this evening to attend CPAC, so I’ll be busy today making final preps.
I will return late Saturday night.
I went to CPAC in 02 and have always wanted to go back. Keep us posted on your thoughts, etc.
Sun....needs lots of sun....
Some interesting speakers......you should have a great time! John Bolton. John Ziegler and special guest speaking on Sarah Palin Unplugged (hmmm). And if you choose to attend the one titled Al Franken and ACORN : How Liberals Are Destroying the American Election System, your ideas would be welcome.
Have fun!
Sarah is speaking via video hookup, I think. And she may be the final speaker on Saturday. Alas, I will be enroute to the airportm for my return flightm when she is speaking.
I am interested in organizing a group of ‘mature’ women to work the Iowa Newspaper message boards and Iowa Blogs, so I will be focusing on presentations of that type.
Oh Mozie, you are such a pillar of strength even when you’re “crabby”. Love, just remember with every war we have the naysayers and they are always welcome by our traitorist press. We’re here for you and with you. Stay strong and cry when you must, we understand.
That’s encouraging news. Have you been working on participation locally? I hope you’re a role model for women in other states to start activity like that. More power to you!!
I’ll bet Sarah’s speech will be available on YouTube by the time you get back to Iowa. Modern technology is wonderful, isn’t it?
Thank you Geee, I’ll try that the next time we have company.
That’s a good question Jem. In our little town, it’s difficult to form a nice opinion of some when then shop in our stores with their pants half way down their butts and their underwear showing. It’s a wonder their parents allow them out of the house.
The blush of victory will fade with time, 2/3s. I think by summer or fall working Americans will begin to see the person they have elected to “lead” them. He is following the same path FDR led America and it was a failure. By then, hopefully our elected Republicans will begin to think like the average conservative Republican and begin to represent us....hopefully.
“YO’! I am sorry I have been missing but my computer has ‘deceased and on D’s portable and can’t get use to it. Just wsnnted all to know I am still in this world. Will talk to you later.

Prairiebreeze and I discussed this recently and we agree that while neither of us welcomes harm to another human being, we wish for a way to stop him from harming us and ours.
The porkulus bill is just the happy birthday on the cake as my best friend likes to say.
Ash Wednesday is upon us. A great time for fasting and mortification.
Mozie... We are always going to have people out there that so ignorant of history, and what our role in this world is all about.
Most people don't know that we pulled out of southeast Asia in the seventies millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians were murdered and imprisoned; albeit Pol Pot, or the North Vietnamese.
I continue to remind myself that evil will truimph if good men and women do nothing. It is up to face up to evil and beat it back. This faction of Islam wants to dominate and control the world. They brutalize women and prevent children from being educated. They strap bombs to the mentally retarded and send them into market squares to be denotonated. What would these people have us do? Ignore the plight of our fellow man.
I remember talking to my father during the Vietnam war. (He flew B-29's out of Guam during World War 2.) I asked him if he wanted me to be drafted. He said, "No... I would rather have you join of your own free will so that you can do good for others. That is what God commands of us!" I have never forgotten that.
A few years later I did enlist. I have nothing but the greatest of admiration for all those who are serving our country, whether they are stateside or in harm's way overseas. They are the heroes we need so desperately today. They are willing to give the last fullmeasure of devotion and ask nothing in return.
Don't let the bastards get you down. They know very little of sarcrifice. They are only interested in their own comfort zone, otherwise they wouldn't have the attitude they do.
God bless Ev, and Jemian's son. All who serve are our heroes forever. God will bless them, and you in adundance.
Jay, very well written statement and so true.
AMEN!!
Now I gotta get back to work.
Snowstorm bearing down on us for tomorrow. The good news is that the cardinals are out there singing, designating their nesting territories for spring.
Thank you Jay, you always say the right thing in the most right way. Bless you.
Thanky you G....it did help. However, the liberal friends I have just drink the koolaid and think I am the crazy one. Time will tell and I have great patience :-)
Glad to hep anyone educate a lib. Its not that I don’t have patience its just that it makes me so sad to think of how many scars the patient(this country)will have if it recovers from this sickness.
My hair lady is a lib, but she despised the O. She thought he was the Anti-Christ, he scared her etc etc. This morning she is in love. I can only guess he came up with some freebie that she fell for.
Your most humble servant!
