We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
The news this morning is immigration and how it should be handled. I will try to keep this space as dispassioned as possible, but when the protestors carry symbobls such as this...
...it is hard to maintain a cool state.
Around 500,000 marched in Dallas, TX, for the rights of illegal aliens. Yes, the same folks who would want us to have sympathy for those people use such symbols as the American flag in distress and are brazen in their attempts to provoke.
Meanwhile, in St. Louis--this is 1,000 miles from Mexico(!!)--protestors seeking status for the illegals, or maybe the illegals themselves, are not carrying an American flag, but the flag of the invaders...
Other demonstrations took place in New Mexico, Minnesota (2,000 miles from Mexico!), Michigan, Iowa, Alabama, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, and California.
Meanwhile, a group calling themselves the "Border Guardians" burned a Mexican flag in front of the Mexican Consulate in Tuscon.
Then there is to be a protest today on The Mall in Washington, and get this: students from the Montgomery county, MD, school district who attend the event GET CREDIT!
In many cities today, in a National Day of Action, there will be protests. These will occur in such places as Washington, DC; Los Angeles, CA; Boston, MA; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Bakersfield, CA; Fort Myers, FL; Hays, KS; Oxford, OH.
Organizers intend to have people carry the flags of their "home" countries--not the flag of America.
But the overriding question in all of this? WHERE IS THE INS??
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
I came in a little while ago, and have to take a shower. It was really dusty out there. I began the AM with my walk on the golf course, but this time I took a #5 club and a golf ball. I made it from the 4th tee to the 8th and lost my ball so I came home. BAH I spent the rest of the day working in the yard. My house is suffering.
And the 101 war goes on.
AH Oh, I won't next time. Now Off to my shower. bbl, stay cool, stay nice.
And there isn't a damn thing they they can do about it. And you don't get a t-shirt.

I have a plan.

Re: whining. I don't allow myself to do it....heard enough from my mother, who got what she wanted from my dad by whining. I vowed years ago that I would not succumb to whining or tolerate it. I feel guilty right now for even revealing this trait of my mother's, but it was true.
Good for you, CM. Have a plan and follow it.
/johnny
OK whats the plan...
Shhhh...John has a plan...let him talk.
I won't whine if he doesn't reveal his plan. LOL!
Everybody else has to deal with it.
I've marked the (local) veggie guy for a couple of mil of the estate.
Everyone else gets what they get.

me too.. but it would not be popular to post here I am afraid
My grandaughter told me she is a Republican (she is 7) because she likes President Bush. I explained the basic differences between democrats and Republicans (leaving out the stories about communists and the criminal element) and she said she thinks our side is right! (This is the child who reads at junior high level and thinks deep thoughts). I am in SUCH a good mood!
Went to church for penance service this evening. They had 14 priests there to hear confessions. Luckily, my seat in the back of the church got me towards the front of the confession line, or I still would be at church. There were people from 2 parishes there, and it was packed. That is a good thing, as it means people are taking things seriously and not just showing up for mass.
A.N.S.W.E.R.
I know you must be joyful that your grandkids are so loving and in tune w/you...knowing just what present would please you.
My sweet and loving grandmother died when I was 6 yo, and my other grandmother lived in a distant city, so I didn't see her often enough to get to know her. For those reasons, I determined that for my own grandchildren I would try to be the kind of grandmother I would have liked having.
We grandmothers, thus, can indulge ourselves as well as our grandchildren. 8)
My dad's mother died when I was two, so all I have is one distant memory of standing in front of her and looking at her knees. All I know about her is what my dad said and her old pictures. I wish I had known her...I have a great picture of her in a sombrero and jodhpurs on a horse at their ranch in Texas, around 1924-25.
Any way, I am determined to be a good grandma.
Oh my !!!
I haven't talked to a lot of those folks since the war began and I left. It's good to talk to them again.
