Former President Ford Dies

Former President Ford died at the age of 93. Ford had been battling numerus problems. Please take a moment to remember this former President.



President Ford not only had to deal with the Watergate scandal, but he also had to deal with the economic problems of the '70s. President Ford was a great man, and must be rememberd. I encourage you to go to his Presidential Library in Grand Rapids.

Happy New Year

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanakaa. I had a very Merry Christmas with my family. Have a Happy New Year!!! And God Bless You.

The Month Before Christmas

How the "Left" Stole Christmas
Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
The PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas – no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a "Holiday."
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit;
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod . . .
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down, At Lowe's the word “Christmas” was nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word “Christmas”; It won't touch your ears!
Inclusive, Sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen!On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatterTo eliminate Jesus . . . in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith;Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace. The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded.The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me:
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say . . .
Shout “MERRY CHRISTMAS,” not Happy Holiday! ! !

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect content, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years od,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in hte dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should b e at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from hte cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "ITs really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."

"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or be or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramsp died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue...an American flag.
I can live through the cold and being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least.
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Christmas

Sorry for the lack of post, I have been really busy. Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakka, and Kwanza!!!!

We Remember Pearl Harbor

Today, December 7th, we remember that fatefull day when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. This event made the U.S. enter World War Two. Please take a moment of silence and thank those who perished today, and all those other veterans who have died for this great nation. We thank those who serve.

You Must Read This....

Here is something that any right minded person can agree with.

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America a. Try to have thingslike the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, itis an opinion. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70%of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes,a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter offact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave thecountries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand theword "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loansor tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store,or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could comeover here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made andcontinue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does takea parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home untill that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe I am proud to be from America and nowhere else. And if you don't like my point of view, tough...I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , ANDTO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!
