| Welcome
Fellow Americans This is not a phrase to use lightly. Being an American requires ... demands ... a mindset. Being born in this great country or gaining citizenship through naturalization does not qualify you to be an American. Embracing, understanding and supporting the ideals in our ... Declaration of Independence ... Constitution ... Bill of Rights ... Amendments ... Pledge of Allegiance ... National Anthem ... honoring the thousands of men and women that defended these ideals down through the years ... these are the characteristics that grants one the privilege to be called an American. Anything less is just not good enough. McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden. Right thinking Americans that believe in smaller government, lower taxes and less regulation have but one choice - McCain/Palin. Yeah ... and us Reaganites are not real happy with this choice. Newt would have filled the bill nicely. John McCain has asked me and other Reaganists to put aside our principles and support him for the "good of the party" ... what a fool he is to make such an assumption. When Ronald Reagan was asked about leaving the democrats for the republican party he said, "I did not leave the democratic party, the democratic party left me." Well, Mr. McCain, we did not leave the republican party, you and other liberals left the republican party. I liked you a lot better when you were a war hero, but I like you a lot less now that you have teamed up with other liberals like Feingold and Kennedy. This candidate race is not over 'til the fat lady sings and the only singing I hear lately is Hillary 's campaign song, "It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To)." "Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles. To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better "eyes" with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth's climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined. And they're worried about global cooling, not warming." [ more from Investor's Business Daily ] Thanks to Andrew Brouard for this heads up. It never ceases to amaze me how the politicians we elect to the Senate and Congress end up with million of dollars. It's not like they worked their way up through a company and became president. Where did Hillary Clinton get $5 million she could lend to her campaign? Did she sell that many books? Would you spend $5 million of your own money to get elected to a job that pays $400,000? What's missing here? MetroParks (Montgomery County Ohio) director Charlie Shoemaker has cancelled Jackie Bihn's 29-year horseback riding contract and told her she must have her 50 horses out of the parks at Englewood Reserve, Carriage Hill and Sugercreek parks by the end of February 2008. Shoemaker recommended the board not renew her contract. He claims MetroParks has received complaints from the public over the "conditions" and that Bihn's "standards she maintained are not up to what we wanted." How 'bout Shoemaker reveal the names and nature of the public complaints? How 'bout he also reveal the methodology and nature of the "third party evaluation" MetroParks conducted? Something stinks about this and the Dayton area newsmedia needs to do some digging. Anyone that has posted a message to an internet guestbook or other open webpage knows their name will get "mined" and end up on a spam list. These are the lists that get sold to spammers. One has only to check his email to see the result. Don't you find it strange that one of the Butler Township (Montgomery County Ohio) firefighters that were fired for downloading porn on firehouse computers would offer up the excuse that "objectionable websites came from unwanted links in emails" ... What happened to choice, here? One can choose to click or delete. DUH! Just admit the truth folks and take your punishment like men (and women).
