He scares me most of all  because he did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally he  not an American.

 He scare me because the media gives him a free pass on everything he des.
 
He scares me because he demonizes  and wants  to silence  the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Beck's,  along with you and me, who offer opposing, conservative  points of view.
 
He scare me because he prefers  controlling us  over governing us. 
 
Finally , and most important,  he scares me because if he serves a second term,  I will probably  not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
 

 
He scares  me because I do not know how he paid for his expensive Ivy League education and   upscale lifestyle and housing  with no visible signs of support.    

He scare me because even after all of his exposure, I still know nothing about him.

He scares me because he has never run a company or met a payroll.
 
He scares  me because he has never had military experience, thus doesn't understand it,  at its core.
  
He scare me greatly because for over half of his life he has aligned himself  with radical extremists who hate America and he  refuses  to publicly denounce  these radicals who wish to see America fail.

 He scare me because he lacks  humility  and "class", always  blaming others.    

He scares me because he is a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
 
He scares me because he wants  to change  America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector. 
 
He scare me because he wants  to replace our health care system with a government  controlled one. 
 
He scares me because he prefers 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
 
He scares me because he wants to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
 
He scares me because he has begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
 
He scare me because even his  own political party shrinks from challenging him on his wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

The Arlington Ladies   

In 1948, the US Air Force Chief of Staff noticed that no one attended the funeral of an airman at Arlington National Cemetery, and that deeply disturbed him. He talked with his wife about his concern that each soldier be honored at burial, and she began a group called the Arlington Ladies.

Someone from the group honors each deceased soldier by attending his or her funeral. The ladies also write personal notes of sympathy and speak words of gratitude to family members when they are present. If possible, a representative keeps in contact with the family for months afterward.

Margaret Mensch, an Arlington Lady, says, “The important thing is to be there for the families. . . . It’s an honor to . . . pay tribute to the everyday heroes that make up the armed forces.”

We know heroes who have given their lives in service to God and their country. Let’s honor them today.  — Anne Cetas

The poet George Santayana once said, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." In the life of every nation, there are "memories" that must be preserved if that nation is to retain an awareness of its unique role among the nations of the world--indeed, among the long list of nations throughout history.

Long ago, God Himself instituted "memorials" so that the key events of history might be remembered.  

The Memorial Day that we celebrate in the United States began with the ending of the Civil War. Since then, our country has added many memorials. Each of them, whether a mere plaque, a lone statue to a notable person, or a vast and sweeping edifice, are all intended to "remember" some significant event and the people who made history during that time. Typically, we honor the dead who paid the ultimate price that we might live on--and we should. There are others, though, whose sacrifices in time and treasure were enormous.

May our thanks this day, "remember" and "honor".   all of them.

Until Next Time, God Bless America!

$20.00

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker

started off his seminar by:

holding up a $20.00 bill.

In the room of 200, he asked,
'Who would like this $20 bill?'

Hands started going up.

He said, 'I am going to give this

$20 to one of you

but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

He then asked, 'Who

still wants it?'

Still the hands

were up in the air.

Well, he

replied, 'What if I do this?'

And he

dropped it on the ground

and started

to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

'Now, who still wants it?'

Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a

very valuable lesson.

No matter what

I did to the money, you still wanted it

because it did not decrease in value.

It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives,

we are dropped, crumpled, and ground

into the dirt

by the decisions we

make and

the circumstances that come

our way.

We feel as though we are

worthless..

But no matter what has

happened or

what will happen, you

will never lose your value.

Dirty or

clean, crumpled or finely creased,

you are still

priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our

lives comes not in what we do or who we know,

but by WHO WE ARE and

WHOSE WE ARE.

You are

special

Don't EVER forget it.'

Count your blessings,

not your problems.

'And remember:

amateurs built the ark ...

professionals

built the Titanic.

BUT, DO NOT SHUT UP!!
I ran across a few articles this week, that I just had to share with all of you.
First , read how our Congress rewarded The Post Master General, even though the postal service is crumbling around him.
1. As the U.S. Postal Service considers cutting delivery service in the face of dwindling mail volume and rising costs, the postmaster general received a big pay raise and a performance bonus last year, all authorized by Congress. Postmaster General John Potter's base salary climbed to $265,000 last year from $186,000 in 2007. He also received a performance bonus of $135,000. In all his total compensation -- salary, bonuses, retirement benefits and other perks -- topped $850,000, a spokesman with the U.S. Postal Service said on Wednesday. At the same time, the Postal Service, an independent federal agency, is crumbling alongside the economy and as online communications increase competition. The Postal Service lost $2.8 billion last year when total mail volume recorded 202 billion pieces of mail, its largest single drop in history -- down more than 9 billion pieces from a year earlier. Despite annual rate increases, including stamp prices set to rise another two cents in May, 2009 could be the first year since 1946 that the actual amount of money collected by the service declines. Potter told a Senate committee last month that if current trends continue, the agency could lose $6 billion or more this fiscal year.
Next a local man shot into a house filled with foreigners. His motive is still not known. Two were killed and three life flighted. But as tragic as this is,  that is not what caught my eye. They were all here on work visa’s. Americans can’t even find a job and yet they are still letting people from another country in here to work. They can’t tell me that they are doing jobs the locals won’t do because I know that is hogwash. They are here working at places like The Hilton on our local beach, taking away jobs from my personal friends. Many of my friends have been layed-off from their jobs as wait staff and maids. The locals depend on the tourists to survive here. Tourism is down and what little we are getting, the jobs produced are going to foreigners!
2. The shooter, Dannie Roy Baker, was a neighbor and began shooting his rifle into a window from outside of the town home around 1:45 a.m., never entering the victim’s residence. There has been no indicator of motive at this time as to why this event came to this tragic end. The young adults who were visiting Walton County from Chile on student work visas had gathered for the evening in a friend’s town home. There were no complaints of loud noise or partying reported.
And lastly, I just read where Obama wants to screw with the way our Soldiers take their oath!
3. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with orders
that the White House is contemplating. According to sources at the
Pentagon, including all branches of the armed forces, the Obama
Administration may break with a centuries-old tradition.

A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have
soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the
President, and no longer to the Constitution.[Jerry Black] (Adolf Hitler
did exactly the same thing! Heil Hitler!! or rather Heil Obama!)

"The oath to the Constitution is as old as the document itself." the
spokesman said, "At no time in American history, not even in the Civil War,
did the oath change or the subject of the oath differ. It has always been
to the Constitution.."

Yes I am mad as Hell and I hope enough Americans are just as mad. It is time to wake up to what our Government is doing and join together to put a stop to it. There are stories just like these all over this once great nation. If we pull together we can make a difference.
Until Next Time, God Bless America!
