Troop: Sigh of Relief

Posted by emjayne on Friday, July 25, 2008 2:10:33 PM
A trip by Obama to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany (while not on the published schedule) was cancelled because Obama decided "it would be inappropriate to make a stop at a U.S. military facility [where the wounded are recovering] as part of a trip funded by the campaign."
     Two points...weren't we told that the speech in Germany was not a campaign speech?  and ...did he get word that the troops wounded in Iraq would not be the most welcoming audience to meet after his "lack of support"  (euphemism) for their efforts?
        Have to give him credit for a wise decision!!

Global Poverty Act!!

Posted by emjayne on Friday, July 25, 2008 10:51:43 AM
You may all be aware of this bill in Congress, but while I heard rumors of it I had no idea of the scope.  For those of you in the same boat, let me fill you in.
    S.2433  Sponsor...Barack Obama!
       A bill to require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millenium Development Goal of reducing by one half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 a day.
        (The Congressional Budget office estimates the cost at less than $1 million a year!)
    It was headed for debate in April 2008.
 
H.R. 1302   a companion bill basically the same as above ...sponsored by Rep Adam Smith , D. WA, and passed in the House by voice vote in Sept . 07.
 
         Neal Boortz was talking about this bill this morning .  If you have ever heard him, you can imagine his attitude.  Utter disbelief! 
He pointed out that this country has contributed more than any other to alleviate poverty in the world.  He also pointed out that we DON'T HAVE ANY EXTRA MONEY!!!  The initiative money that recently went out in checks to anyone who filed an income tax will only be paid in the future by the coming generations.  Congress still acts as if we didn't have a deficit!   A million for this, a few millions for that,...what the heck ...it's only a drop in the bucket.
 
           And who sponsored the bill in the Senate???  The one who hasn't done anything in the Senate,  who has voted Present how many times?, who had a committee which has never met.  who brags about His committee (that he isn't even on).  Maybe he will pay for the Poverty Act out of his own pocket..  No???  You think out  of ours???  
         
            I always think I have heard everything from this body we call our Congress until the next day.  I want a divorce!!!

Guess who!

"He reads a speech very well and handles controlled and fawning press with ease, but when he wings it he comes off worse than Bush.
   I guess it's not easy to remember all the things you said that you don't really believe."
     Quote of Sgt.Relic  in a comment in Skep  (too good not to spread around)

Are We Whiners?

Posted by emjayne on Monday, July 21, 2008 12:53:28 PM
and are the reporters trying to help Obama??   Go see "At the Right"   at :https://jevica2003.blogtownhall.com/default.aspx   for two of the best answers to those questions you are going to read.
 
"The Surest Way to Create a Campaign Controversy"   (7/21--12:13:52)  and "Belief Growing that Reporters Are Trying to Help Obama" (7/21--11"19"27)
 
We can't speak the truth anymore and we can't joke .   If the Fairness Doctrine were in effect,  the papers would be scrambling to fit McCain in to equal the coverage being given to Obama.  :-))

Fair Tax: The Truth

Posted by emjayne on Saturday, July 19, 2008 3:19:01 PM

If you haven't checked into the Fair Tax plan, it's time.  With all that is going on this year it probably won't get much attention, but it should.  I had read the original book describing it, but it was a little heavy to get through.  The new book "Fair Tax: The Truth" (subtitled "Answering the Critics") is easier to read and very convincing.  The first rush of attention is over and it seems like it will be hard to get enough people interested, especially with the election taking most of the space, but, hopefully, after the election is over, there will be another surge.  I can't imagine Congress passing it.  I can't imagine enough people getting excited about it to push it.  It will take a minor miracle.  But we can hope.  There is a bill before Congress (HR 25) and I assume John Linder will bring it up again and again.

Don't tease Obama!!

Posted by emjayne on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 6:27:55 AM
Has anyone noticed it's against the rules to tease Obama?  You can laugh at McCain's age (and so does he) but don't dare to make fun of anything about Obama!!  Somehow his thin skin is easily punctured.  Somehow I don't trust someone who can't laugh at himself.  Or take a needle.  Or take himself so seriously he can't bend.
 
Well, now bending is different, isn't it.  He's bending in all different directions!  He has reversed himself so much in the recent past one could get dizzy following his spins!!  But perfectly seriously!!!    The only time he must laugh is when he realizes how easily people can be buffaloed.  I think he must look in the mirror at night and wonder just how stupid people can be .  But no, he really believes he is the divine answer to our problems, and, although he has never solved any before, he will be the answer to all the liberals' prayers. 
 
Heaven help us.

We are not alone!!!

Posted by emjayne on Saturday, July 12, 2008 9:51:04 AM
Global Warming on Saturn!!!  Well, that must be the reason for a monster storm which has hit Saturn.  After "nearly two years of no electrical storm activity"  a "monster storm--measuring two-thirds  the size of the Earth" has appeared . 
Now we all know that the extreme storms on Earth are being caused by G. W.  (and for a change, that's not Bush)  so our emissions must be reaching Saturn!  So we are not only destroying our planet we are working on the whole Solar System!
Bolts of lightning measuring 10,000 times stronger than those on Earth have been pelting Saturn since November, according to NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn since July, 2004.  Is this a sign of things to come here on Earth?? 
One way the Saturnians are lucky is that their continents will not be flooded like ours are due to be.

I'm gone

Posted by emjayne on Saturday, June 28, 2008 7:36:56 PM
We're going to Maine for a week!!  Family gathering on the 4th!  Love that Maine coast!  I was just reading Barbara Bush's book and she talked so much about Kennebunkport.  We go to York...not too far from the Bush compound, but I won't have time to drop by.  :-))
   An interesting sideline about the book, as long as I brought it up...she talks a lot about the press...how they lie, distort, make up facts when they don't have the whole story, and , in the process, ruin lives.  But why should they care?  Their main aim is to get a scoop...to get a byline...to get ahead of every other reporter or columnist while they push their bias.   When they are proved wrong they never admit it, and by the time the truth comes out, it is too late because the false stories have gone around the country. 
     I was just raving on Jevica's blog about how little respect I have for Congress and I have about the same amount for the media. 
        Well, anyway, I am going to take a vacation from politics!  More than a whole week !!  When I get back I will have some catching up to do so don't anyone do anything fantastic while I am gone!!   And if you comment you won't get an answer for a while unless you get it in by Monday noon!  :-))    see you all later.

The Patriot Post and Imprimis

Posted by emjayne on Monday, June 16, 2008 6:52:21 PM
I am sure I have recommended these publications before  but for anyone who missed, allow me to give the addresses of both for anyone who wants to subscribe to two excellent sources of hope for conservatives.  The Patriot comes in my email and Imprimis comes by snail mail from Hillsdale College.

Why I am a Conservative

Posted by emjayne on Monday, June 16, 2008 6:45:09 PM
   by Lyn Nofziger in the Patriot Post
"I would define a conservative, first as one who believes in the Constitution as it is written.  That takes care of free speech, freedom of religion, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms and, in the words of William O. Douglas in one of his saner moments, 'the right to be let alone.'  Second, a conservative believes in small, limited government at every level. Along with this he believes strongly in individual responsibility.  That is, a person or a family should take care of itself and turn for help to government only when all other means have been exhausted.  It also means that society, before government, has a duty to take care of its own.  Government should be a resource of last resort.  Third, a conservative believes taxes should be levied for the common defense, catching and incarcerating criminals, minting money, and filling potholes.  Taxes should not be levied fro th purpose of redistributing wealth...One other thing I think a conservative believes is that the parents, not government, are and should be responsible for the upbringing and behavior of their children."

why I am not a Democrat

Posted by emjayne on Monday, June 16, 2008 6:36:29 PM
   by Rocco DiPippo in the Patriot Post:
        "Ideological descendants of Marx and Rousseau now lead the Democratic Party ...They have molded the Party into a force working stridently and unashamedly against a Commander in Chief during wartime.  They have mde it a den of treachery devoted to American defeat in Iraq.  They preside over an institution advised and influenced by moneyed, non-governmental groups and individuals with unquestionably anti-U.S. agendas who help make the Party a pseudo-intellectual sinkhole filled with perverse, tried-and-failed ideas repulsive to the majority of Americans.  Those ideas are shaped into agendas which are then forced on the public by an activist leftwing judiciary and by a major media and arts consortium shot through with utter disrespect, indeed contempt, for traditional American values, religions, and institutions.  The Democratic Party has devolved into a club for the illegitimately aggrieved, the self-absorbed, the self-hating, and the perpetually [angry].  It is a sanctuary where solipsistic malcontents and their disjointed causes find refuge and support.  It has long ceased being an earnest gathering of broad minds where man's timeless problems are examined against the backdrop of the Constitution and solutions to them proposed based on the actural realities of the human condition... [Barack] Obama is in step with that radical element and with that leadership."
