Can’t wait!
You go!Freepers Rule!!
I am already hearing the MSM and some other useful idiots minimizing what happened and the laughable assertion that this is the first successful terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. Ft Hood is just workplace violence. We are living in an insane asylum and the inmates are in charge.
Yeah, I seldom do. When I have to, I feel damned uncomfortable. NY, Boston, Chicago etc. I can't wait to be driving out of there.
Check out the murder rate per 100,000 of a given city before your next visit. They're all pretty much unsecured kill zones run by RATs.
Everyone there has a false sense of security.
I am suggesting that we reduce our legal immigration numbers from 1.2 million to about 300,000 or less and go from a kinship system to a merit based system bringing in the skills we need to be competitive in the global economy. And I would be very circumspect about immigrants coming from countries that are working against our interests and from Muslim countries. No ban just more vetting.
About 4 years ago Homeland Security PAID the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to brief their agents on “Right-wing terrorism”.
Did you know that the SPLC is now a training vendor to the US government (and a whole bunch of state and law enforcement agencies around the country)? They’re located right here in Montgomery, Alabama.
So when the Army Reserves show a PowerPoint presentation on Evangelicals and Catholics as religious extremists, you’ll know how this came to be.
This is why Fat Janet is looking for Christian, Right-wing TEA party military veterans instead of Islamic Jihadists...
We need Congress to investigate this scam of a “non-profit” organization (Morris Dees is making multi-millions) and pull the plug on all their millions of $’s in government contracts.
Thanks so much to all condolences.
I have, by now, lived every day of a week without him. A normal day that is, not the frantic funeral and viewing days or the foggy days after his death.
Today is the last such day, this Sunday that I cook, watch the Sunday talk shows and work this thread.
I carefully assessed each day, how it will change without Billy.
I used to go to the grocery store on Weds. for example. Well I don’t need to even much go to the grocery store save for milk and stuff. I’m the sort that goes to BJ’s and buys in quantity. Which takes care of pets.
On Thursday nights I go to choir practice. Billy always took care of the dog those nights, made sure the light was on. I left the dog alone in the house, nervously. I lock all the doors at night, something I could always feel safe that Billy did faithfully. Had to lower a few blinds.
I’m adjusting, I’ll be ok.
He was determined, just determined, to never be put in a hospital again. Yes I had the medical people on the phone with me much of the day. Billy said no to doctor office visit, no to ambulance, no to any oxygen which they were going to SEND DIRECTLY TO MY HOUSE!
I’m not going to say I didn’t know how bad it was. But I didn’t think it was so close. It wasn’t until a fretful weekend that had me feeding him Ensure and running to drug store for Mucinex cause I thought he had a cold.
He knew what was happening. He handled it well.
The evening before the morning I found him gone, I finally went to bed, exhausted. I knew he was dying, in fact I told him he was dying.
“We shouldn’t talk about this,” was his response.
I asked him if he wanted to die at home. “YES” he shouted, shouting with a whisper as he could barely breathe.
I was tempted...so tempted. It was torture. I couldn’t call his family....they knew not a thing. What could they do? Why add to their distant torment? My daughter was with me...via telephone...that whole day. And the medicos.
The night I left him he still knew my name and who I was. He was getting dates mixed up and he didn’t know the dog’s name. He was fading, I knew it. I feared more than anything that he would totally lose his mind, that he wouldn’t know who I was, who he was.
It’s one thing for HIM to refuse medical aid. But with a lost mind I’d then be in charge. I’m just not so sure I could have avoided calling for help.
He bid me good night, said to stop worrying, I was nagging him. He told me he loved me and would see me in the morning.
I said my prayers that night. I told my God that I didn’t think I could go through another day like today.
It is said that God does not give us more than we can bear. I found Billy dead the next morning at 5:30 am.
He looked peaceful, he appeared to have been in no pain.
Anyway....that’s the end of it.
And don’t go calling me “special” or wonderful or exceptional.
All of you take a long look at that person you most love in life. Doesn’t have to be a spouse though that’s more appropriate. Consider if they were suffering from lungs that didn’t work...consider your beloved was making the correct decision for them, indeed as most of us would make.
Every one of you would do the same thing and so did I. I’m not particularly special but I did pass the test.
It was tough but he smiles down on me as he finally breathes cool, clean air denied him the last few months here on earth.
I’ll be okay.
Girlene: “We” as in folks who visit the city for big events......that includes us country bumpkins as well.”
ROCKLOBSTER: “Yeah, I seldom do. When I have to, I feel damned uncomfortable. NY, Boston, Chicago etc. I can’t wait to be driving out of there.”
Me: I’ve been living out here in the country in beautiful Aiken County, SC for more than 10 years now. I guess that qualifies me as a country bumpkin.
I can’t imagine myself wanting to visit any city with more than 100,000 people. I grew up outside of NYC and cannot, under any circumstances, imagine visiting there. What for?
I enjoy the country peace and quiet and the birds singing and the pine trees too much I guess.
+1!!!
That’s profoundly sad yet hopeful.
You have a great way with words, Pat.
Yeah, and Grandma and some of her cronies left Thursday for their Big City Weekend Shopping Trip.
Then, I noticed when I got back from the site that Grandma left her Beretta on the gun rack.
If I hear even a hint of a problem in that area (and I'm watching stuff like a damn hawk).....
Totally agree! Gregory got his WH talking points out there to prep the groundwork. I pray that republican leaders go on the offense hard and do not let up until we get answers on the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of our government, unanswered questions on the bombers and the suspect they are deporting and Benghazi. They should charge full steam ahead and not stop until the American people know the whole ugly truth!
Sounds good to me.
Where is Gramnesty’s same-sex buddy?
So sorry for your loss. Thanks for posting and letting us know. We need you on this thread.
A Chris Wallace trademark is NEVER following-up (unless he's grilling a conservative) and to quickly scoot away when any answer or topic could make the libs look bad. Being that slimy and slippery is an art form and Wallace has mastered it to a T.
