Town Hall Meetings 101 – Dems behaving badly

A premise of Town Hall meetings is to have raucous debate!  (much preferred to the gentlemen’s duel, i.e., ..En Garde, ye fool! Keep ye eye on me epee.  I shall slash up one side of you and down the other, before I poke you long, deep and continuously!  ;>  heh heh.)  It’s embarrassing to hear yo ignorant, helium-high voices whining over honest debate and differences.  I long for the day when all Americans know the early history of our great country and its debating process.  Just saying..

On another note, guess-who insulted “bean counters” again during most recent campaign speaking engagement to the “healthers.”   What does Obeyme have against bean counters?  Other than the fact they actually know a thing or two about money.  Mainly that it doesn’t grow on trees, nor will you find it mysteriously deposited in your safety deposit box. The fact remains that the ruling class tend to think of the “little people” (that’s us) as bottom-feeders, bean counters and pencil-pushers.  Nice, huh?

NOT! More like Dems Behaving Badly *chortle*chortle*chortle*

Memorial Day sentiments

Ordinary men
act extraordinary,
fierce purpose prevails.

A band of brothers
fight to the death for each other
and the world-at-large.

War, like it or not,
determines one’s survival.
“Life” does not take sides.

Peace is an ideal;
easier said than done, right?
Honor our fallen.

Life is war with peace;
there is no Peace-permanent
’til heaven’s on Earth.

All Armed Services
remind me their loyalty:
one Band of Brothers.

Stark reality
sinks in – strangers died for me!
It’s Life’s greatest gift.

Nation under God,
One Purpose, One way of Life:
All Brother’s Keepers.

I bow to fallen
soldiers past, present, future:
Reverence unfolds.

Flag-folding ceremony for veterans banned nation-wide -oo-

The following meanings have been ascribed to the 13 folds of American flags at veterans burial services.

1. Symbol of life.
2. Symbol of our belief in the eternal life.
3. In honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world.
4. Represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in time of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance.
5. A tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
6. Represents where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
7. A tribute to our armed forces.
8. A tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day.
9. A tribute to womanhood.
10. A tribute to father.
11. In the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
12. In the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.
13. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”

But all it took was one person complaining to a top banana

to put a stop to this long-honored, meaningful ritual ceremony for our veterans. Oh, but no! top buffoon banana says – it wasn’t one person complaining that put the cabash on the ceremony. Oh, no! Mercy! It’s because they’re in the process of standardizing national veteran funerals. Oh, gawd, I can’t tell you how much better I feel knowing this. [Visions of communist uniformity pop into my head. My bad.]

Mercy, indeed!

MacGyver for President 2008..right on!

I just came across MacGyver’s “campaign” for President 2008 website today.  \o/   Gee whiz! Who could better turn this country into a first-class nation (again) than MacGyver? He has many of the qualifications that we look for in our presidential candidates: good looks, acting prowess, solver-of-any-problem on earth (and elsewhere in the universe, oh, my! What a MAN!) And to complete the picture, he’ll have Jack Bauer as his running mate. Folks, it doesn’t get any better than that, by Jove.
