Appreciating the Sound of a Toilet Flush

(ap photo) click pic for story

After viewing the devastating conditions of the Gulf Coast, I have come to appreciate the little things in life. When I flush the toilet now, I actually thank God, that I live where this is possible. A glass of ice water now resembles a very expensive drink. My bed and clean nitie are luxuries. To be able to walk out to my mail box and find junk mail is a gift. To turn on a light, sit down at my computer, the ability to hear music on the cd player are all special to me now.

I pray for those still standing on the highway outside the dome, they've been there since 2 a.m. last night. One set of clothes, a blow up mattress which they share with others, no sheets, no food service, no radio, just sitting in the 92 degree sun. No home to go home to. Pictures of the past gone.

As I watch this, I cry, I cry for the sound of the Big Easy Jazz Band. The sound of being carefree, the sound of good times. That is all temporarily gone. The rats and snakes will soon inhabit the vacated buildings.

I think it is time that we as a nation come together and the President should call Congress back into session, to redo the National Budget. I think Ted Kennedy should give his state's highway money back so that it can be used in Louisiana and Mississippi. I'm sure there is PORK on both sides that can be cut and put to repairing our Gulf Coast. This is a place where we as a nation, need to rebuild and help them recover.

God Bless and keep those safe in the Gulf Coast Region. It is a time for miracles, and if we come together as a nation, miracles can happen.

Air Strike on Terrorists Safehouse

This was very good news. I've been waiting for some airpower to once again strike terrorists in action. It is time to show force, to show the terrorists that we are not going to give in, get scared off, but are ready to attack when needed.

I was also impressed today when Robin Leach, famous for "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" spoke out on why this war on terror in Iraq is important. He felt that it was a war we would win.

We are achieving great things in Iraq, it is time the other half of the country realized this and got behind this war.

I hope our Air Force continues with bomb strikes, to emphasize our power and protect the process of democracy that is beginning to take shape in Iraq.

Wow, Robin Leach is just too much today! Gotta love that man and his support for Bush. Go Robin!

Down Under Got It Right Mate!

Australia is getting tough on terrorism. Federal Education Minister Dr Brendan Nelson, warns Muslim schools that they either teach Australian values, or clear off! Prime Minister John Howard says the Government has the right to enter Muslim schools at anytime, to insure that they are NOT teaching hate or the virtues of terrorism.

Muslim extremists better begin to realize that with each new act of terrorism in the world, life and freedom of Muslims will take a direct hit from Governments, in order that they may protect their people. Muslims who do not accept terrorists acts better begin to speak out, or their voice will be silenced through loss of rights in order that countries may protect themselves.

Personally, I'm happy to see other countries taking the lead in protecting their people. It would be the perfect world where Muslim Temples, Jewish Synagogues, and Christian Churches could sit next to one another in peace. However, because of the acts of a few, rights must be taken away, from some of these organizations, to insure that there are no threats next door.

That is why the Patriot Act is so important in this country. That is why, Americans must call for an investigation into the ACLU immediately. It is organizations of this nature, that threaten our security. The Patriot Act is in response to acts of Terrorism. It applies only to Terrorists wishing to destroy America. Unfortunately, the ACLU with all of it's protectionism, even for terrorists, illegal aliens, also becomes a threat to our freedom. Terrorists and the like do not deserve our freedoms and rights. People living in this country illegally also do not deserve our freedom and rights. Criminals and Child Abusers should also lose their rights of freedom and not be protected by liberal lawyers.

We have to protect our freedom, but protection of our freedom does not include protecting people who wish to destroy our liberty, life and our pursuit of happiness. Just ask the Boy Scouts who have been damaged by ACLU activities.

If the power of the ACLU would ever focus on the criminals and terrorists of the world, instead of organizations that help people and provide positive role models for young and old alike, this country would be better off. But then again, what do you expect from an organization that was founded by a Communist.

Gratitude? Peace Process? I think Israel May have Had the Hood Pulled Over their Eyes On This One

"Gaza is not Palestine," a masked spokesman for Hamas's armed wing told a news conference in Gaza City.
"As for Jerusalem and the West Bank, we will seek to liberate them by resistance just as the Gaza Strip was liberated," said the spokesman, surrounded by gunmen and militants with rocket launchers.

It's Tuesday and I'm Behind in my Blogging

Howard and Melanie of Move America Forward.com have started their, "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy! Tour". I love these two people, they are always on the ready to stand up and defend America and her people against liberal lefties that spit on the flag, and speak negatively against their country. Please take the time to go to their website, MoveAmericaForward.com and join in. They have a lot going on, and when I find people that are doing good and fighting for right, then I like to support them completely.

EEEK! I just got my Women's Republican Newsletter out, got so far behind that I spent the last 3 days working on it, and had no time to watch the news, read the news, or listen to the news. I have to say it was nice! It's so easy to forget all the ugliness in the world when you just turn it off.

Anyway, this will be short, because I have a golf tournament today, 8:30 a.m. shotgun start, but I don't want to let another day go by without adding some random thought.

I usually turn on my radio when I put my head down on my pillow, and last night Savage was on, "Savage Nation", and he brought up a few good points which I would like to review.

He said, I'm not quoting exactly, but this is the gist of it: If there was ever a time for this nation to come together, it is now. We are not fighting over social security, abortion, education, we are fighting a war on terror and the extreme liberal left, who are taking property away from Americans in court and giving it to illegal aliens, tearing down all Christian values that this country was founded on, and giving more rights and benefits to illegal aliens than rights and benefits the citizens have. He wants the ACLU investigated and several other extreme liberal groups who defend terrorists and illegals ,and who doing so, have put our lives in danger and are taking away our freedoms, and the right to our property.

on another subject............

Did any of you see the 9/ll documentary on the national geographic channel these past two evenings? Well, I thought it was a must see, and after viewing all of the events that led up to 9/ll, and the post 9/ll events, I think this war on terror is a definite must, and I believe now, more than ever, this is a fight to the death. The death of all lunatic terrorists!

Thought for the Day

Cindy Sheehan has become just another food stain on Michael Moore's shirt.

Quotes from Sheehan:

"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?" "The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it’s so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war." "We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in Washington, we will impeach all those people."

Nice mouth Cindy, now I know why you are attracted to the Michael Moore web site. You two make a fine couple.

Summer Reading that Won't Tax you to Death

http://www.fairtax.org/

Neal Boortz's FairTax Book is flying off the shelves this summer. I noticed a young man at the BP gas station cash register was reading it, at the beach this past week, I noticed several people lying in the sun reading this book. Everyone I talk with who has read the book, is in favor of the plan. It's well written, and easy to understand.

Important facts people will glean while reading this book:

Say goodbye to the death tax, the gift tax, Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, the Alternative Minimum Tax, capital gains taxes and the trouble of filling out tax forms;

Go enjoy life on April 15th, You'll have the time!

That American corporations who have fled overseas to escape our crushing tax system can be brought home again;

Invest and save with no federal tax consequences whatsoever;

That the trillions of dollars that are working in offshore financial centers, again to escape our crushing taxes, can be brought back to work in the American economy again;

That we don't need to spend $500 billion a year to comply with an obscene tax code;

And that all of this can be accomplished while eliminating the federal tax burden on the poor, and without increasing the cost of living for everyone else.

If you haven't read this book yet, you have a couple of weeks to get it into your summer reading list.

Day Oh! Slave Oh! Daylight Come, and Harry Got's It All Wrong

Come Mr. Harry, tally up those slanders. While in Cuba approximately 3 years ago, Harry was quoted as saying, "There's an old saying," Belafonte began. "In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. "Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture." For close to twenty minutes, Belafonte ripped the entire Bush administration, including an attack on Attorney General John Ashcroft. "There's something wrong with men who think the way Ashcroft does and who manipulate the justice system the way he does."

Quick get the tally man! How many black activists are going to take us back to the times of slavery and civil rights protests? Spouting off in Cuba yet, now there's an audience!

I aplogize to Ms. Rice and Mr. Powell for the rude comments made by Mr. Belefonte. Personally, these are two people I look up to, and would be proud for my son to call them a role model. Both of them are prime examples of what education, hard work, and setting goals can get you in life.

So Mr. Belefonte, you have won my LOSER OF THE WEEK, NO MAKE THAT THE MONTH, NO HOW ABOUT A YEAR, AWARD!

By the way, I threw away all your old records I had sitting in a box! The only comfort I have in all of this, is nobody is really paying you any attention. Our people are very well educated now, so spout off if you must, and keep singing, "Come back, Liza, come back girl..........................wipe de tear from de eye"

Leaves me to believe that any black that strays from Harry's Political Liberal Plantation will get a verbal whipping for misbehavior!

911 Commission Omission

The 9-11 Commission Report
Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Official Government Edition
The Commission’s Final Report provides a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. It also includes recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. Below you will find the official Government edition of the Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

Ya Right, did you all forget to include a couple of tiny facts? Or did they disappear in Sandy Berger's Pants? Looks like we need a commission to investigate the commission! With the news that some of these men who flew planes into our buildings were known to be here and on a high watch list during the Clinton administration, is quite some news! And they were blaming Bush for these acts! Every pig has their autumn!

What World Are They Living In?

"Now all the world is united behind Mullah Omar and Sheik Osama," he says.

Tell that to the Iraqi children and citizens you have blown up!

Decisions of the Weak

In July, a Berlin Wall victims' memorial next to Checkpoint Charlie featuring two mock slabs of the barrier and more than 1,000 giant wooden crosses was forcibly dismantled amid protests.

More than l,100 people died trying to flee over the wall. It seems Germany has the same problem with their court system that we do.

With actions like Germany's and our system where judges continue to let child abusers free, to abuse and kill again, the people must stand up and rid our system of judges that don't rule for the good of people. Judges ruling to rid a courthouse of the ten commandments, while letting toilet art stand in San Francisco, makes no sense. It's time that we as people of this world, expect more from our judges, and if not...........well it's time to start putting in judges that represent the people and not their own agendas!

A Must Read: Quick Someone Please Forward this to the ACLU

I clipped this blog entry from, "The Religious Policeman" written by,
Alhamedi_Alanezi, and his blog address is :

http://muttawa.blogspot.com/

The Brits are such a kind and tolerant people, but sometimes I really fear for them, that their tolerance will lead them to tolerate something that eventually destroys their tolerant society. Take the current debate about clamping down on foreign nationals who preach support here for terrorists and suicide bombers. Prime Minister Blair has proposed legislation to have them deported to their own country. Yet there is a vocal group here that says "Oh no, you can't do that, not if their own country is somewhere where they could be tortured".Now I sometimes feel that I'm tempted to see everything in shades of grey. But there are some issues that are so black-and-white, they are "no-brainers".
If you come from a country where you are likely to be tortured, then when you go as a Guest to another country, isn't it plain common sense to keep your head down and your mouth shut, rather than preach violence against your Hosts and risk getting kicked out?
If your home government wants to torture you and another country grants you shelter, what sort of Guest are you if you advocate violence against your Host?
Are the only people to be punished for advocating violence the ones who come from benign countries; are you to be immune if you come from a country with no human rights?
Perhaps people who advocate terrorism, and governments that torture, deserve each other; indeed, they are a "marriage made in Hell".
The Brits do need to wake up that in this particular game of Cricket, they are not playing Australia. They are playing the Talibaan, who bowl with grenades and bat with AK47's.

Blaming President for Fat Kids? Hello? Do the Dems Really Think They are Going to Get Away With This One?

Well let's see, a win in Ohio? Republican Jean Schmidt won a special election yesterday to represent Ohio's 2nd District in the House. Ya, we are still winning, despite the antics of the Democratic Party. I see this week they are blaming the nation's fat kids on President Bush. Blaming fat kids on the President, the most healthiest president we have ever had? I could think of a few democrats who would make ideal role models for the overeating younger generation. (Psst: look left).
This has been a great week for our Administration! Great financial news, I even saw a headline that read, "American Troops Pound Insurgents". John Bolton has taken his seat at the UN! A Political victory in Ohio! An Energy Bill! America is reading the "Fair Tax Plan" by Neal Boortz! Congress passed CAFTA, Congress Passed Transportation Reauthorization, On July 21, The House Passed Reauthorization Of The Patriot Act On July 21 With The Support Of 43 Democrats. (H.R. 3199, CQ Vote #414: Passed 257-171: R214-14; D 43-156; I 0-1, 7/21/05).

And the Democrats are giving President Bush for taking a summer break at his ranch in Texas? Personally I think the President deserves a bit of a break, however, I have noticed that he has been working on the ranch, where he is entertaining South American Presidents, and other dignataries. For the Democrats to even suggest that the President is taking a "vacation" is a joke, because I have a feeling there is NO DAY OFF FOR President Bush. So I say to Ted Kennedy, one of the President's largest criticizer of late, "Hey don't forget to put sunscreen on that big fat out of shape body of yours while you are baking in the sun in Cape Cod!

Read This and Bomb

Text of al-Zawahri statement

As for the British, I tell them that [UK Prime Minister Tony] Blair has brought you destruction in central London, and God willing, will bring more destruction. Are we scared? Nah!
O nations of the crusade alliance, we proposed that you at least stop your aggression against the Muslims. The lion of Islam, mujaheed sheikh Osama Bin Laden, may God preserve him, offered you a truce to leave the house of Islam.
Has sheikh Osama Bin Laden not informed you that you will not dream of security until we live it in reality in Palestine and before all infidel armies leave the land of Muhammad, may peace be upon him? Like we are going to listen to sheikh bin Laden? Can you all in fit in Palestine?
Your salvation will only come in your withdrawal from our land
Ayman al-ZawahriYou, however, shed rivers of blood in our land so we exploded volcanoes of anger in your land. Volcanoes of maddness? People strapping bombs on themselves and blowing themselves up? Maddness I say, boy you sure have them fooled.
Our message to you is crystal clear: Your salvation will only come in your withdrawal from our land, in stopping the robbing of our oil and resources, and in stopping your support for the corrupt and corrupting leaders. Our salvation with come with your death o man of threats!
What you have you seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and Iraq, in spite of all the media blackout, are only the losses of the initial clashes.
'Worse than Vietnam' Not even close to viet nam! Wake up o man, you are not fooling anyone with your soundbites.
If you continue the same policy of aggression against Muslims, God willing, you will see horror that will make you forget what you saw in Vietnam.
The truth which [US President George W] Bush, [US Secretary of State Condoleezza] Rice and [US Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld hide from you is that the only way out from Iraq is immediate withdrawal, and any delay in this decision will only mean more deaths and more losses. Yes, you obviously have a lot of foolish followers who are willing to put a bomb on their back and detonate it, and you are so good at sawing heads off! You must feel rather strong!
If you don't leave today, then you shall inevitably leave tomorrow but after scores of thousands of fatalities and double that number of disabled and wounded people. Better watch those threats, we could wipe you off the face of the earth!
They are repeating with regard to Iraq the same claims and lies they uttered about Vietnam.
Did they not tell you that they would train the Vietnamese people so that they would run their own affairs themselves, and that they were defending freedom in Vietnam? Stay out of our politics! Don't you tell your bombers they are going to have virgins at their disposal? I don't see you strapping a bomb on your back, we are not fools like your followers, so your propaganda won't work in this country o man of many lies.

Recess! Time to Put Bolton to Work!

Phew, they all went home, leaving President Bush to put John Bolton right where he wanted him, in the UN! Too bad, the democratic Senate, didn't have the courage to give him the up or down vote. Fortunately for us, and the UN, we now have John Bolton.

One way or another, I'm going to get ya get ya get ya.....one way or another......

Isn't politics fun! Of course it is more fun when you are in the majority and live in a State the votes Republican :)
