Dear FRiends,

If this race boils down to Romney vs Obama, we are in deep, deep trouble. Obama is a committed Marxist. Romney's record is that of a Kennedy leftist. Romney has never lifted a finger for any of our conservative causes. He has in fact betrayed us on Judeo-Christian values, taxes, fees, abortion, gay marriage, gays in the military, guns, socialist healthcare, mandates, judges, global warming hoax, bailouts, lies.

There is very little difference between Romney and Obama's accomplishments in government. Romney (like the GOP-e) despised Reagan, despises conservatism, loathes the tea party.

Romney has no core values or principles. Will lie, say anything, do anything to get elected.

Our GOP-e has sold us out. They've joined the liberals in pushing the leftist agenda.

Romney claims that he wants to repeal ObamaCare, but he's already lined up his own czar (Florida's Pam Bondi) to head up a national healthcare task force to push RomneyCare on all 50 states. After all that has been said and written about socialized healthcare and individual mandates, Romney and Bombi, er, I mean Bondi, still love RomneyCare and should he become president will attempt to impose it on us. This is a fact and Pam Bondi has appeared on Fox News twice in the last few days that I know of and promoted RomneyCare as the "states rights" solution to healthcare.

Well, Mr. Obamney, I've got your socialist states rights, right here!!

This is betrayal of the highest order.

No matter who wins the next election, we're going to need FR now more than ever. The GOP has betrayed us. The so-called conservative pundits and conservative think tanks have betrayed us.

We need the Tea Party and we need FR to fight these liberal bastards tooth and nail!!

We are the resistance!!

We are the tea party!!

Rebellion is on!!

What a wonderful story, TOL. I miss my FIL and MIL as well.

[RedMDer]

Maybe he is just saying Hi! I think of my mom wherever there is salt water taffy or shrimp. I can smell them now just thinking of it. Very good memories.

[TheOldLady]

Good! LOL! We can be mean together, since you're always so mean! Try to keep up!   ;-p

Losing Freepers was the worst of this winter.

Mine hasn't been all that bad. Specialists have found some issues that can be fixed and help improve my breathing. That and no snow, and I'll call that a good winter.

*************************************

You're right. We have lost some good people, and that has been heartbreaking.

I'm very happy to hear that you have such good doctors, and so are better. Not having to cope with the snow has been such a help to me as well. I love it.

Look, I’ve been governor in a pretty tough state. You’ve heard of blue states. In the toughest of blue states, I made the toughest decisions and did what was right for America. I have conservative values. ”

You take care of yourself with that *cold* this time of year, no joking.

They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place where — because of our past excesses — it will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true.
I don't believe that. And, I don't believe you do either.

Hi!

[trisham]

" There's no question that at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate. And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there's a forgiving God.
Somebody once said that when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy."

There was a little animosity from MIL when Hubby and I first started dating, but once she realized that we were meant for each other, she became the best MIL you could imagine.

FIL loved me at first sight.

And we had a few secrets, like the time he and I were in his Mustang and returning from having dinner out with the family. He made a traffic goof, and I never said a word (as MIL would have blown the roof off the car yelling at him), AND most important, I never told MIL about it either. I think that was the first thing that established the trust between us. He was my Dad.

Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[TheOldLady]

I like to think so. Salt-water taffy and shrimp sound like memories of you and your mother at the pier, huh? Very good memories, indeed. Nice, Red.

[TheOldLady]

I will, Cajun. Thank you, meanie. Zycam works really well for me, so I will probably be all right.

[trisham]

My father was from New Jersey, and often bought us salt water taffy. He was so sentimental. :)

[RedMDer]

It’s not really that so much. It’s just that as one of ten kids, I realized that Mom never allowed herself very many treats. Salt-water taffy and shrimp were her favorites. So when I grew up, if I ever really did, whenever I went to O.C. MD or on special occasions, Birthdays, Easter, Christmas etc. She would have those treats from yours truly. She was always a Mom to everyone, a heart of gold.

After she passed, I brought taffy a few times for her and then remembered. Oh well we ate them for her. :)
