Here’s a bit of hope:
I just got off the phone with my son who is stationed in sunny California in the Air Force. He was at the SanFran airport waiting for a plane. Keep in mind that this is the San Francisco airport.
He had finished checking in via the kiosk. He is flying US Airways and had to pay $15 for his bag. As he went to check his bag, the woman at the desk asked for his ID. She asked told him not to ever check in at the kiosk. That he was military and they appreciated his service. They would like to thank him and refunded his fee for his bag. She then made sure he got through without any problems and wished him well. She even tried to upgrade his seating.
US AIR deserves some props for this especially since this was in the SanFran airport.
He lives in the Bay Area and told me that he and his wife who is also Air Force were going to put up a McCain/Palin sign in their yard (they are not on base). I asked him if he thought that was a good idea. He said sure it is, and that the area he lived in, there were more McCain signs than Obama. He said sure you might see a lot of Obama bumper stickers on cars but that he saw more McCain signs at houses. Surprise me again.
He then went to buy a book asking my advice on what he might be interested in reading for a long flight. He began reading off the titles of the books available. Again, I remind you that this is in SanFran airport. He said there were just a few books available. But three ...three of them were anti-Obama books. The Audacity of Deceit was next to The Audacity of Hope. hehe. But the next two books were:
Obama Nation
The Case Against Obama
He said since he knows everything he needs to know about Obama from me, he decided to buy a couple of sports magazines to get him through. LOL.

I guess there may be hope yet.

Thank your son for his service to America. God be with him and all our brave American patriots. Thank God we still have Americans willing to protect and defend America from our foreign enemies. It is up to us to protect America from our domestic enemies; to defeat them at the ballot box and see the RATS/Liberals in DC go home in disgrace.

Go Sarah Go.

I am registered in California (although working in Alaska)

If we could cut off everything within 35 miles of the coastline and let it sink into the ocean, California would be a red state.

Unfortunately, the blue coast line has a larger population than the whole interior of the state.

Coastline FReepers, we would let you move before the sinking.
