Soccer?

Really?  (yawn) I'd rather have a root canal...

Songwriters

I wish I had the talent...they amaze me all the time. This is from Gary Allan...may we all find this kind of love in our lives.

She's been gone about three years
It's been a long road and a million tears
I'm movin slow but I'm movin on
The sweetest memories still remain
The laughter we had and the love that we made
Every night I go to bed alone

With no regrets
A piece of mind
Lived so much time in so little time
I'm so glad when she was here
She was mine
From the day we met
To the night she left
I loved her, no regrets

Well time and fate can be controlled
You play the hand that you're dealt
And the dice that you rolled
And who might of questioned God anyway
Well these days when I look back
I know I'm blessed to be loved like that
I still miss her everyday

With no regrets
A piece of mind
Lived so much time in so little time
I'm so glad when she was here she was mine
From the day we met
To the night she left
I loved her, no regrets

From the day we met
To the night she left
I loved her, no regrets

No regrets
I loved her
With no regrets

10th Amendment Anyone?

Congratulations to the citizens of Arizona for taking care of their state. 1 down; 47 to go! (Cali and NY don't count as states, imo)

This sums up America in 2010:

Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill "misguided" and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it's legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level - or leave the door open to "irresponsibility by others." 

As with anything else, only the imperial Federal Government can do ANYTHING right!

Congratulations Senator Pearce. You nailed it:

"Illegal is illegal," said Pearce, a driving force on the issue in Arizona. "We'll have less crime. We'll have lower taxes. We'll have safer neighborhoods. We'll have shorter lines in the emergency rooms. We'll have smaller classrooms."

I may just have to move me to Arizona now...always wanted to visit but now I have a good reason; they believe in right and wrong.

Random Thursday-ness

(Hat Tip - To my friend Jeff)

I really got nothing to add either...it makes some sense.

I really don't care whether he is a Muslim, anti-Christ, the color of his skin or where he was born. I disagree...vehemently...with his idea on the role of our government. The Constitution was written as an instrument to LIMIT the powers of the federal government. Either the Constitution says what it says or it doesn't. if it does, then it is the law of the land and should be followed. If it doesn't then it is meaningless and carries no power over our lives whatsoever. If you are able to re-write it on a whim...or when a guy in a black robe says you can...then it is simply a piece of yellowed paper that can be written over at the whim of the elected officials instead of the electorate.

Can we agree that we need at least a modicum of OBJECTIVITY in what is the role of government? For if there is not any objectivity, how does that differ from anarchy? For without that objectivity we are sinmply a country run on the whim of the latest elected leader. That is no different than being under the rule of a king, imo.

I really do not care WHO you marry; If Christians are SO offended by two men or two women marrying then let's discuss judgement, forgiveness, grace and God's love. I do not believe God to be hell bent on punishment...other than for Fred Phelps (I am only illustrating absurdity by using absurdity). He repulses me but he has every right to say what he says just as Rosie O'Donnell can call us heterosexuals homophobes.

Get the government out of our way, allow the workers to KEEP what the earn...minus an amount to pay for the services of government as outlined in the Constitution...and watch this country flourish. Freedom and independence has worked EVERY time it has been tried.

The next candidate who stands up, stands by that, sells that...and does not cave...to the American people will, in my opinion, win an election by a landslide.

Read on a Fox NEws Channel Crawl

"Obama says leaving the free markets unfettered is unacceptable."

For those of you Obamabots (re: idiots) make sure you look up the definition of unfettered and you will see the dichotomy in that statement.

Ain't Obama just the best?

Check? And Mate?

"The result is a tax system that exempts almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit everyone, including national defense, public safety, infrastructure and education. It is a system in which the top 10 percent of earners -- households making an average of $366,400 in 2006 -- paid about 73 percent of the income taxes collected by the federal government."

Once we reach the point where half the country pays no income tax...and it is sooner than you think...we have ceased our run as a representative republic (except on paper) and will be run by mob rule. Who is going to be able to run against Obama (or his future comrade) when the campaign is based on one sentence: " He is going to raise your taxes!" There will be a great gnashing of teeth from the sheeple (aka those who vote democrat) and the candidate will stand no chance of EVER gaining political office...except maybe dog catcher.

Btw, the same thing is going to happen with healthcare in November. For those of you "R's" with big dreams of BIG pick-ups in the mid-term election, keep that suicide hotline number handy.

I hope you (freeloaders) are all happy.

America. It used to be a good little country.

Just Another Angry White Man

"Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Wednesday the U.S. economy still faces significant headwinds,..."

But...but...but...Obama (Praise be he) said we were well on our way to recovery...just last week when all those jobs (48,000 temporary out of 160,000) were created.

Surely, this is just another example of the racism that runs rampant in this country today...you tea-baggers (re: angry, homophobic, white men) are just ruining this country and all that Obama wants to do. (re: wealth redistribution, central planning, et al)
