Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Why does everyone run to the media with every little thing. And why does the media think this kind of thing is a story?
If I go down to the Masons lodge and they don’t let me in cause I’m not a Mason, is that worthy of coverage?
Last time I flew through Atlanta they wouldn’t let me into the Delta club, just cause I wasn’t a member.
It is because she is gay. The gay agenda is the guilty white apologists new crusade. They missed the civil rights movement, or now see the heros of that movement getting all the press, so they want to be part of the next big thing - the gay agenda is bigger than equality for blacks. You can’t voice any opposition or you are attacked immediately. So if a gay person is asked second at the deli counter as “who is next”, it is big news. If a girl scout turns to a white woman first rather than a gay black woman, man alive watch out! The girl scouts might lose funding!
They run to the media bc the objective is to get the Church to CAVE on everything. They want homosexuality not just accepted but CELEBRATED; and we will be required to, before very long.
Yeah, that’s a bummer. That’s why we have to hold his feet to the fire.
can’t go there yet. mitt scares me. if I am more comfortable with Newt, that says a lot.
i found that endorsement pretty weighty. more so than most i have heard. For better or for worse, it’s going to be Mitt, we need to just GET THE HELL ON WITH IT. i am sick to death of this process of dismembering our own while obams sits there grinning like a damn jackolantern, enjoying the show.
ultimately, my candidate is ABO
I will read it, I am too busy on twitter with the stoptweetingsoledad stuff. LOL
doesn’t soledad realize that is the WRONG approach?? it’d be like saying to the Soother STOP BEING PEDANTIC. you know you are in for nonstop slew of pedantry if you open your yap and go down that road!
did she really think she could get the better of two Harvard law grads? when she initially dropped out of Harvard, she had to go back to graduate. no law degree either. too funny.
nope, the endorsement didn’t reach me at all.
Hey, at least I know the difference between hockey and basketball.
So true Ti - he’s like a 7th grade girl who is willing to go along with anything to be popular.
He’s got Nugent and Kid Rock. Should have at least one cool inaugural ball.
I love daylight savings time, but they do say it takes 3 days to get adjusted-
With all the trumpery speeches
Obama keeps making every day
The sound of his voice makes me
Just wish that he would go away
Gas prices are a shame, he says
But everyone just quit whining
As he dines on lobster instead of
The chicken on which we are dining
And gets driven around in an SUV
That sucks up fuel of some kind-
Probably enough for a small country
To run all the cars they can find
It is sunny and 73 after 3 days of gloom, rain and cold-I’m going back to the woods to meditate, prowl around and watch the wildlife-back later...
Before theO is done with us we will wish we could eat chicken.....we will be eating PBJs on plain cheap white bread.
