The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIV

My Dragonfly And Me


If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!


By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone


On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...


Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

You went back? I understand fully. There are days that I wish that I could go back to that neck of the woods. However, my skills are not one that is currently in demand over there. Be safe.

You went back?

Yep. Got back to the desert a little over a week ago.

Do I need my head examined or what? LOL

Take a few moments to read this letter. These are strong, powerful, and courageous words coming from a retired colonel, and read what Lincoln had to say at the end. Wow!

33 Senators Voted against English as America’s Official Language on June 6, 2007.
On Wed. 6 June 2007, Colonel Harry Riley, USA, Ret. Wrote:

Senators:
Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348.... To make English America’s official language is astounding.

On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock, character, and principles of America, I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.
I don’t much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you’re black, white, or some other color...male or female...Democrat, Republican or Independent... But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America ...and Vote against English as the official language of the United States.

Your vote reflects Betrayal. Political Surrender. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous act ion and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator...impeachment... Recall...Or other appropriate action is warranted, or worse.

Four of you voting against English as America ‘s Official Language are Presidential Candidates:
Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama.

Four Senators vying to lead America, but won’t, or don’t, have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America’s Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as ‘political Hacks’... Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally ‘rock you out of your socks’......... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn’t about America ... it is about self-serving politics......despicable at best. It has been said: ‘Never Argue with an Idiot....They’ll drag you down to their level!’

President Abraham Lincoln said:

“Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime
that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs
and should be arrested, quickly tried, and hanged!!!”

WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT IF THEY DON’T SUPPORT 91% OF US, THEY REPRESENT NONE OF US!
