I have been “up and down” for the last week or so , gaining weight just like I do in the election times.

i have to focus on that through all this, Americans are getting interested and involved and now know what the word ‘reconcilliation” means....not everyone, but many , many more are getting the education of their lifetime in real time.

I know. I just asked Brytani.
Last night, a mixed message, but mercifully, ended in “abortion can’t ever be sanctioned by any avenue.”

HERE IS MY SHAMELESS COMMERCIAL FOR FREEP :

Freeper plays a vital role in communicating the truth to soooo many Americans and is a rallying point for Americans to contact their representatives, and to let us know the logistics of Tea Party actions.

One effective way to support the conservative cause is to
DONATE TO FREE REPUBLIC!!!

If you couldn’t make it to DC this Saturday, think about donating a small portion of what you would have spent to travel there!

Our objective is to stop this thing, by hook or by crook...

I was thinking about the latter option this morning. That our Revolutionary forefathers required some foreign assistance, and that the world needs a healthy, capitalist American republic. It made me think that if there any foreign intel services belonging to friendly countries who would like to see the US prosper, who are sitting on some dirt on our Congress, then don't keep it to yourselves. Don't cajole, blackmail, extort. Just dish. And hurry.

Gaining weight are you? UGH. I have been eating non-stop. Comfort food. I weighed at the doctor’s on Wednesday. No damage, but I’m done a lot of eating since then and I intend to eat all the ice cream and hot fudge sauce today!

I actually had a motorhome in mind, except first off I would not want to drive down from Alaska, even if just as far as Seattle. Its too hard of a highway on vehicles.

Being a master mechanic and 53 years old I can easily repair an older RV, they too are dirt cheap, I would happily live in one at a boat yard and work on my dream boat, I’m not into cruising per se but if the price is right and it has been on several types of motor yachts I would buy one, just recently was a 53’ Hatteras I could have been interested in, its in complete running shape, just needs a new owner.

But the practical side of me says get a motor sailor, that way I have both options in case I actually want to go somewhere. I also ride motorcycle, just bought a 2009 Yamaha Star 1300 Tourer, its frustrating to only have a couple of months to ride up here in Alaska, I would take it down on the ferry and then use it in the warmer part of the country, I have another bike I can keep up here. Seems like I always get two of everything though!

I would find a retired couple on private property to store almost everything if I could while I work in Alaska for 8-9 months out of the year. I want a boat for reasons some people don’t understand, I’m a fixer, I always have to work on something.And a new one is way beyond what I can afford.

I trult and totally hate Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and I despise the voters who elect her. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a walking hate machine.

The one-two PUNCH to our gut is going to happen today as the ILLEGALS March on Capital Hill at the same time the Dems are selling out our country.

The only sanctuary we have in this Nation gone mad is this forum. Stay with us, girl :)

I'm not arguing with ya :-)

Anyway, I don't see how action taken by the House regarding promises by the President can affect the wording of legislation approved by the Senate without the Senate voting on it.

IOW, they seem to be making a complete hash of this thing.

Now, when it gets to the SCOTUS and should the SCOTUS say the a presidents EO can be made part of law without a complete vote, well, I guess we are stuck for a little bit.

But they are putting what they hope to be a major social change on a pretty shaky foundation.

Like Heinrich Heine said -- men of action are agents of men of thought. We have the thoughts.

If this travesty passes, life is going to get harder. We have to keep pointing out why.

WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR THIS IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT...

Yesterday, a number of democrats made the following accusations against the tea party protesters at the Capital building.

DEMS: PROTESTS GET UGLY, RACIST
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/03/20/2234644.aspx

Here’s what they said:

African-American Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who helped organize the March on Washington, went to the House floor today to tell Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) that a Tea Party protester called him a “n-——.”

Another Democratic source confirms to NBC News that openly gay Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) was called a “f—” by somebody in the Tea Party crowd.

Rep. Emanaul Cleaver (D-MO), another African-American member, was apparently spit on by a Tea Party protester.

THE BS FLAG HAS BEEN THROWN ON THIS FABRICATION...

COMPLETLY REFUTED BY AN ACTUAL VIDEO OF THE MOMENT IN QUESTION...

(I guess they keep forgetting that today’s technology is not their friend when they want to make up falsehoods)

Here's the video, see for yourself....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SCs6pSE8_I&feature=player_embedded

The tea party is so strong, so right and so alive with the truth, that these progressive communists must do what every communist regime in history has done to suppress their opposition - lie, misrepresent and falsely accuse to discredit their obvious common sense opposition to this bankrupt ideology.

Checking in with CNN and MSNBC, etc., etc., this morning to see the lies of the day, the anchors have been playing up this falsehood like nothing else happened yesterday.

Makes me sick...
