You Think What?

Today we honor the service and sacrifice made by the troops in our United States Armed Forces. The soldiers of our country have performed their duties well. We must respect what the men and women of our military units do, even though we may disagree with the mission. It is a job many of us are unwilling to do.

“A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.”

This quote from Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of The United States, who served from 1901 to 1909, a soldier himself,  reminds us to provide for our returning veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you know of any veterans in your community, vets from the current wars or other wars do your part to help them and their families. There is a web site established by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans to help other veterans. The site uses 21st Century technology to form a private, safe caring community online for soldiers returning from the war. Watch the  video for more information.

10 November 2008. Congratulations and Happy Birthday to all the members of the United States Marine Corps. No need to send best wishes to past and present members of the Corps because we believe the saying “once a Marine, always a Marine.”

We love and respect Marines. We’re very glad and extremely happy to say of all the branches of the service and we love them all, we admit we love the USMC the best. Maybe it’s because it’s the smallest of the military organizations. Maybe it’s the way those men and women look in their dress blues. And have you ever seen them in the formal white uniforms?? Oooolala they are ever so sharp!

Happy birthday to all the corps members everywhere on the planet. Sempre Fidelis!

The following quote is taken from the election night address beamed around the world.

“So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other …
In this country, we rise and fall as one nation; as one people.”
— President-elect Barack Obama, Grant Park-Chicago, Illinois November 4, 2008

‘THE NEGRO NATIONAL ANTHEM’
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears have been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, Our God, where we met Thee;
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand.
True to our GOD,
True to our native land

We invite you to celebrate our nation’s coming of age in the 21st Century.

During the campaign he was called terrorist, Marxist, communist, socialist, elitist, and a host of other insulting names, Senator Barack Obama can now be called, Mr. President.

(more…)

The American people have spoken. Barack Hussein Obama will be the first black president of the United States.

The Illinois Democrat, Senator Obama, will become the forty-fourth national executive to run our nation. Now the country has lived up to its potential. We believe our standing in the world has improved significantly with the election of the man who inspired so many citizens.

The Republican opponent, Senator John McCain of Arizona telephoned his congratulations to his former opponent. In Arizona McCain  announced his concession to his supporters.

Meanwhile the nation and the world await the victory speech to be presented Barack Obama in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois.

We wanna tell you a story how back in the days of the wild, wild West, America was Bush-whacked in the year 2000 by Bush slandering McCain and stealing the election from Gore, and again in 2004 by stealing votes by the Bush Travelin’ Cornpone Show featurin’ the Republican neo-conservative wing.

Fast forward to today…Presidential Campaign 2008… Lost in the caboose is good old John McCain. He wasn’t good enough in 2000, what makes anyone think he is good enough now? This train is going backwards on the Bridge To Nowhere  real fast. Perhaps they knew they were going to lose and thought why not sacrifice John McCain again? Or perhaps it is a test to determine how stupid is too stupid. Ladies and gentlemen, lacking the intelligence or common sense of Forest Gump, John McCain. but remember even Forest did not become president though he did become rich like McCain.

Now voters the Bush-whack was bad enough for a disaster movie,  we sure don’t want to get train-wrecked in 2008 by the psychopathically insincere Peter Lorre smile of the John McCain Double Talk Slow Motion Stage Coach Train Wreck: Episode on the Precipice of Disaster. All Aboard! Trust me McCain as the conductor taking you down the tracks where  his pals have already blown the rails out out.

But don’t worry, little Annie Oakley can skin a Russian and start a war with a moose so there is absolutely no danger if the engineer should fall asleep or drop dead at the wheel now that the dead man break switch has been safely removed. Full Petroleum ahead. There is no doubt we’re in danger of going straight off the tracks with Nailin’ Pailin’ on board. Them Russkie ships sailing are into our hemisphere. Our missiles in Poland can blow out Moscow’s lights. Happy Birthday.

This is the perfect set up for the new guy.

If only the financial collapse had come about one hundred eighteen days later.  It would have been the sublime set up for Blame the new guy.

Somehow they are trying to do that anyway. Even though he “has no experience and according to the GOP has done absolutely nothing” nevertheless he is also to blame for everything that has gone wrong with the banks and the economy.  Barack Obama he’s that one, didn’t you know .

Whether Democrat or Republican or independent here’s a video to enjoy.

Madelyn Lee (nee Payne) Dunham, the 86 year-old maternal grandmother of Senator Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidate, passed away quietly in her sleep at her home in Hawaii on Sunday, November 2, 2008. Senator Obama’s sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng was at her bedside at the time of death. In late October the candidate had suspended his campaign to spend some time with her because of her declining health and after she’d had a hip injury. She suffered severe osteoporosis as well as cancer.

The senator acknowledged her death publicly on Monday night at a rally in North Carolina  saying “It’s hard to talk about”. Mr. Obama credits his maternal grandparents with being extremely influential in his development. (more…)
