June 7 - the Day after D-Day...

Not once did President Obama make any mention of the 66th Anniversary of D-Day. It was yesterday. But he did get to go to a gala event with Michelle though. It must have been a pretty important concert for him to forget to thank our veterans for their sacrifices on that day, the 'Day of Days'.

He didn't go to pay his respects at Arlington National Cemetary, on Memorial Day either.
Both of these dates (among many others) have a profound meaning for ANY American. If I have to explain those meanings to you Mr. President, I may as well question your patriotism.

Happy June 7th Mr. President.

Witch Hunt

It's all over the news this morning about how Governor Palin abused her power in firing a commissioner. This commish was allegedly pressured into firing a state trooper who was in the process of a bitter divorce from the Governor's sister.
This is a witch hunt, without question. The panel investigating what the media has dubbed as 'Troopergate' is led and financed by Democrats. Nowhere in the news piece is it mentioned that the trooper Mike Wooten is still on the force! He still has his badge and is still a State Trooper. It's not mentioned that he threatened to harm Palin's family, nor is it even hinted at that he's been cited for drinking alcohol in his cruiser, and that he tasered his 11yr old stepson. The guy is a bad trooper. He should've been fired, but I say again, he is still working as a trooper. He was never actually fired. And commish Monagan transferred to a different state agency after he was dismissed by the Governor. Monagan was an appointee to the public safety commission and appointees serve at the Governor's request. There was nothing unlawful about her dismissal of Monagan.

McCain picks Governor Sarah Palin for VP slot.

It didn't take long for the Dems to shoot down, criticize and smear Republican Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. She's pro-gun, pro-life, inexperienced and McCain's choice of her as a running mate is just a panderer's move to get dejected Clinton supporters votes.
If you lived in Alaska, where there are wild animals, wouldn't you be 'pro-gun' too? Governor Palin is pro-life, which means she willing chose to keep a child she was carrying that has Down Syndrome. She's been mayor, and is now Governor (albeit of a small state) that to me says she has some experience. Okay how about in that arena we could say she's at the same level of 'inexperience' as Senator Barack Obama. But he's up for the #1 spot of President of the U.S.A. Governor Palin was selected to run for VICE-President.
Critics of the Palin choice need to re-examine their stance for these simple points; McCain could've picked another woman for VP like Kay Bailey Hutchison, or Olympia Snowe. But the Dems would still find something about these two other women to criticize; Kay Hutchison is another Texan, and Olympia Snowe is a low profile run of the mill Republican from Maine an unknown, etc. And that's the point. The Democrat Party, the party of Change, and Progression went for the status quo and picked a guy that's been a senator for almost as long as their Presidential candidate has been alive. The Dem ticket could just as easily have picked a woman too. But they didn't.

No End In Sight

"I remember when a latte cost $1.75," laments Bob S. (last name witheld) as he idles in his full-size 4x4 truck. He's part of a long line of vehicles waiting for a bikini clad 18-something barista to hand him his $4.25 latte. "I could go to that other major coffee chain just over there, and pay roughly the same. But I don't want to give them my business."

With coffee prices sky-rocketing due to climate change and wars, regular guys like Bob make it a point to support this locally owned and operated 'Caffe A Go-G0' on Aurora Ave. North. "If each of us did our part, we could be totally free from our dependence on foreign coffee, you know?" His truck inches forward and a lively brunette with a nametag which reads 'Tiffanie', hands him his drink along with a smile. Behind Bob, all manner of cars and trucks are following suit, and there's no end in sight.

War IS Terrorism

According to the dictionary;

war - 1 a (1): a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations (2): a period of such armed conflict

terrorism - violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands

If you keep reading the two definitions, you could blur them together, but one is not the other.

War on the U.S. was declared long before Clinton and W sat in the White House. And these radical Islamists use terror to further their cause and get attention. But nothing is a bigger attention-getter than a couple of $1M Tomahawk cruise missiles being lobbed at your building. 23 of them. Fired from US Navy ships by order of President Clinton in 1993.
I must've missed the protests...didn't see any....anywhere. So I guess 15 yrs ago, it was okay to bomb Baghdad as long as it's a Democrat doing it. I don't know, my head hurts now.

Keep Abortion Safe and Legal

I know 5 women who got pregnant in their teens, and early 20's. Two of the pregnancies were from rape. One girl went to full term and put the baby up for adoption. The rest aborted the pregnancies. In all of these cases the mother's health was not in danger during the pregnancy.
The one girl who put her baby up for adoption, was one of the rape victims. A few years ago, that girl made plans to meet with that child she gave up for adoption.

If one chooses to look for the information, you can find a bunch of accounts in which a certain high-profiled national health clinic botched several abortion procedures. These resulted in severe damage to teenage girls anatomies. I believe that it should be a woman's choice to keep or not keep an unwanted pregnancy. But do you in your heart know, that you've chosen to end a life? It's a question to put out there. It may offend some people. Just look at the phrasing, 'unwanted' pregnancy. Best remedy is to abstain, but if you can't, use protection. Always use protection.
And if you're ready to have children then have them, you'll never regret it.
