As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!
Good morning!!
We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who seek to do her harm!!
FDR once stated "all we have to fear is fear itself."
It is interesting what the span of a couple of generations will do to a party that espoused such a simple but powerful dictum. It would seem the new mantra is:,P.
"All we have to fear is success."
This is something we see writ large across the modern Democrat party.
Education? Let's ensure poor and minority students are provided programs that ensure these folks are stuck in the program. They are afraid of actually constructing a process that would work. They are afraid of success.
Fiscal Policy? Let's ensure we set up a tax code that will make it difficult, if not impossible, to actually move up the financial ladder. But don't forget to demogouge the rich in the process so folks will forget it's an income, not an asset, tax. After all, we can't have the poor actually succeeding financially. They are afraid of success.
Health Care? Let's set up a process whereby the state will allocate the provision of health care to all of society. If this means that cutting-edge solutions to medical problems cannot be realized anymore, or that people die waiting for critical procedures in the name of fairness, that doesn't matter. After all, we cannot have the sick succeed in living, can we. They are afraid of success.
Abortion? A woman needs to choose to be irresponsible and not accept the consequences of her action. A man need not be held accountable for his part in the process. Let's snuff out the possibility that a child could be born that would provide solutions to countless issues in socity. They are afraid of success.
Foreign Policy? The United States should be the most liked country in the world. Never mind that we end up the world's door mat, and garner no respect in the process. That would provide success down the road to American entrepenuers and secure the blessings of liberty for us and our posterity. Nope, cannot have that. They are afraid of success.
War? A guerrilla war such as that being waged in Iraq requires patience, and above all courage to maintain the effort for the long haul. Yesterday, it would seem, the Democrats decided it was no longer worth the effort to see the conflict through to a desireable conlusion. They are afraid of success.
The willingness of an individual or a group to willingly undermine the success capability of a Nation is well defined in the dictionary, as well as the Constitution--it is called Treason. Treason is the overt act of providing the Nation's enemy aid and comfort in time of conflict.
This simply means that in wartime, there is no option to decide in favor of a fear of success. Success is the only option open for debate. The discussion need go no further than the processes for achieving the desired outcome--success.
That all changed in the last generation. The generation that changed the FDR maxim. This was the "better red than dead" crowd, the folks that cheered on Jane Fonda as she made out with a North Vietnamese--that was the enemy for the historically challenged--AAA cannon. Rather than be held to account for handing the enemy a propaganda victory (if there was ever "aid" to the enemy, this is it!), she has instead been allowed by Hollywood to have a successful acting career.
So, the mold of FDR was broken, so let's go for broke. After all, the "better red than dead" crowd suffered a severe problem as the result of President Reagan--the "red" itself died with the passing of the Soviet Union.
No matter, the modern Communists, who insist upon calling themselves Democrats, have made a silent, unwritten pact to carry on the works of Lennin, Stalin, Malenkov, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Andopov, and Chernenko (Gorbachev is totally out of favor with them as he caused the death of the Holy Land). These people continue to seek the destruction of America, the ruin of the land they allegedly call home.
Before Jane Fonda, the likes of this sort of individual would be called out, hauled up, and dealt with in an appropriate manner. Now the cancer of treason is allowed to fester. The malignancy is such that it is now reaching to some of the highest points in the land.
Fortunately, for this instance, the Founding Fathers provide us a remedy, one that will surely be used to prevent the traitors from carrying the day--the Presidential veto. We must understand, however, there may come a day when the traitors will own not only the branch of Government that writes National policy in the form of legislation, but the branch that is responsible for carrying out these policies--the Executive.
Moreover, it should be the duty of America to revive that quaint notion that the only option in time of war is success, and that anything short of that is treason, and should be tried accordingly. There should be no reasonable person that should allow such behavior to go on, particularly in public office.
The Democrats fear of success in Iraq is not just lamentable or tragic.
It is treason--pure and simple.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Great to see you... you'll love the people here.
Coffee?

Hey... we got that lights coming on in the garage thing too!
Funny story... A few years ago I was cleaning out our garage, and this couple pulled up and started walking around. I asked if I could help them, and they wanted to know when the yard sale started. I laughed and told them I was mearly cleaning the garage, but if they wanted to stay and help they were most welcome.
Got a hearty laugh and an apology. I told them it was no problem. Anytime I can break from work is always a welcomed relief!
Read an article on how to make the perfect martini. (Bon Appetite ) We have an elderly couple coming over tonight for dinner. He loves his martinis, and since I am the only other person in the world he knows who will drink them with him, he's delighted to show off his prowess.
It's done in moderation, of course!
We have some friends coming over for dinner tonight.
Standing rib roast, pop-overs, grilled red potatoes, fresh green beans, and a desert called lemon whirlygigs, with raspberry sauce are on the menu.
Bit, that's a wonderful story about Kay, and so typical. Goodness!
(((lysie))), kayak's house.....
Sounds heavenly.
There’s ssome thiefs here that work in pairs...one goes to the home owner and gets directions to some phony destination while the other one is going through the garage. I got ripped off for a chain saw that way,
Good morning all,
Cloudy and overcast here in Hoosier land.
Mrs.Liberty, thanks for the letter that your FIL wrote..very well stated.
They were charming...
So sad to hear about you chain saw.
Lysie, I haven't tried the grilled red potatoes, but you use a base of olive oil, parmesan cheese, green onions, Italian parsley, fresh oregano, and garlic. (Bon Appetit, June 1997)
Boil the potatoes, cool. coat them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill, and then coat them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and remaining ingredients:
1 Cup thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
serve warm!
Serves 8
Did you decide on a dog, Raven?
lysie, remember those standard poodles I wrote about a couple of years ago...their function to save people with medical problems? What were they called??Those were magnificant animals...something about them..dignity and strength?
Remember to cut potatoes in half before grilling. (Small red skinned potatoes, 3 pounds)
Remarkable dogs!
I’m going to try that.
Yes, that’s it, lysie. Couldn’t remember that word! Thanks!
Most welcome, dear one.
I'll let you know tomorrow.
Thanks, Dog...
Coffee in hand - reading now...
