Take the time to read this
"Whether by ignorance or design, the first ten months of the Obama Administration have put the very security and prosperity of America in grave jeopardy. This is not mere hyperbole, nor is this conclusion reached lightly. Rather, it comes from an in-depth analysis of those policies implemented by what can only be described upon a thoughtful inquiry as a regime."

This is a wonderful analysis by Bill Wilson. Couldn't agree with him more.
Another example: "On the economy, Barack Obama has been nothing short of a socialistic catastrophe. His has attempted to rush through the most radical, aggressive domestic agenda in the history of the republic. And he has taken the most aggressive steps ever towards government takeovers of entire industries."

"On border security, the Administration has canceled the construction of a 700-mile fence along the nation’s southern border. At the same time, Obama has proposed another push for the comprehensive legalization of millions of illegal aliens, taking jobs away from Americans who will be forced to pay more in taxes to subsidize the illegals’ use of public services.
On defense, the Obama regime has been slashing the budget—by a full 10 percent--while the nation finds itself in two wars. He gave away a key component of national security—missile defense in Eastern Europe—to Russia. For nothing in return."
You gotta read this.
By the way, how's that hope and change working for you?
Interesting headlines today
1. Obama ties George W. Bush on golf
"President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years."
2. 14 Americans killed in 2 Afghan helicopter crashes
"KABUL (AP) - Helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans on Monday—11 troops and three drug agents—in the deadliest day for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan in more than four years. The deaths came as President Barack Obama prepared to meet his national security team for a sixth full-scale conference on the future of the troubled war."
3. U.S. troops hope Afghanistan sacrifices not in vain
"Doubts, determination to finish mission fill days"
4. Morale dips for American marines in Afghanistan
He's busy playing golf and Americans are being killed in Afghanistan. Oh ya, he's too busy to actually make that decision about troops there. But oink-oink flu is a crisis.....what a jerk. How the hell much preparation does he need to actually make that decision?
Every parent, wife, husband or relative of anyone serving in Afghanistan should remember this when this guy decides to run for reelection - and remember this when ANY DEMON-CRAT runs for any federal office. BILL FOSTER---ARE YOU READY FOR RETIREMENT?????

This is why I love Texas
Last week I spent 4 days in the Texas State Capitol, Austin--wonderful city, but unfortunately it rained every day I was there. Well, they've been experiencing a drought so they really needed the rain, but it was kind of a bummer not to be able to enjoy the city. But I did spend some quality time at the Texas State History Museum--awesome place--and learned a lot about the state's history (duh, the purpose of the place). I have new respect for Texas, and actually would like to return for a visit in the future. BUT DO NOT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES--they charged me $20 on each leg of the trip for my suitcase. THIEVES. Next time I'll fly Southwest--my favorite airline.

Further proof spending a gazillion dollars DOES NOT WORK if you want to put people to work
7 Months After Stimulus 49 of 50 States Have Lost Jobs
America Now Over 6 Million Jobs Shy of Administration's Projections
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
| |
The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009 (the latest figures available). According to the data, 49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since stimulus was enacted. Only North Dakota has seen net job creation following the February 2009 stimulus. While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million – a difference of 6.2 million jobs. To see how stimulus has failed your state, see the table below.

This is what happens when Democrats run the State of Illinois
From the Chicago Tribune's Breaking News:
State's red ink worse than expected
The state's money woes are worse than predicted due to plummeting tax revenues and an unprecedented number of unpaid bills, the Illinois comptroller's office said today.Tax revenues compared to a year ago fell $588 million in the first quarter of the state's fiscal year.
Haven't you wondered about this too?
"Black Leaders Ignore Black-on-Black Crime"
"There's a reason for their uncharacteristic silence. Derrion's murder does not fit the black liberation narrative. As one civil rights leader said to me, "If we focus on black on black crime, we let white folks off the hook." Never mind that the leading cause of death among black males ages 18 to 24 is homicide by other black males."
"In one interview before Obama was elected, Michelle Obama commented on threats to Barack Obama's safety saying, "As a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station." What she did not say is that his likely killer would be another black man. Blacks are only 13% of the population, but over 40% of the murder victims. Ninety Three percent of those black victims are killed by other black people."
Black people are killing black people. BUT if a white person points that out they get called a racist....seems tragically stupid, doesn't it?
By the way, the article (link to it above) was written by a black man--I wonder if the apologists for No-bama will say THAT's racism.....hmmmmm.
Great part of this article: "Liberal benefactors and foundations are not interested in addressing social pathologies which can only be eliminated by change of values, stable families and the willingness of fathers to parent their children. The government's coffers are closed to moral judgments and spirituality. Faith in God, parental love and discipline to instill values of decency and responsibility are the antidotes to gangs, crime and drugs. However, allegations of racism, discrimination and social injustice are far more marketable for the Rainbow Coalition and the NAACP"

Again, the Brits can see through No-bama
Obama’s Olympic failure will only add to doubts about his presidency
"There has been a growing narrative taking hold about Barack Obama’s presidency in recent weeks: that he is loved by many, but feared by none; that he is full of lofty vision, but is actually achieving nothing with his grandiloquence.
Chicago’s dismal showing today, after Mr Obama’s personal, impassioned last-minute pitch, is a stunning humiliation for this President. It cannot be emphasised enough how this will feed the perception that on the world stage he looks good — but carries no heft."
My offspring was right
(Shhhhhh, don't tell her I know she's right frequently!)
Rio gets the Olympics. My offspring said it was Rio all the time. I think I want her to pick my lotto numbers for me!

And now this guy runs Chicago's schools
Ron Huberman--management bozo.
"Report rips Huberman's oversight of contracts--Inspector general says 'management failure' cost city $2.25 million"
No wonder the schools in Chicago are in such rotten shape. When your city is ruled by patronage, corruption, and political hacks it's not a surprise that the educational product (you know, like the 50% drop out rate) is so absolutely horrible.

"Chicago schools chief Ron Huberman -- Mayor Daley's former corruption-fighting chief of staff -- is being accused of a "significant management failure" that set the stage for alleged contract irregularities at the city's 911 center that cost taxpayers $2.25 million.
In an explosive new report, the city inspector general's office characterizes Huberman as so derelict in the oversight of a contract with Motorola while he was executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications that he should be suspended if he still worked for the city."
The Ego has landed!
That is the headline on DRUDGEREPORT.COM.
Hurray for sanity! Obviously the ego known as No-bama + Michelle + Oprah did not impress the Olympic committee. I purposely did not watch anything involving this debacle.
Did you see anything of No-bama's speech to the IOC? Whoa--he's so full of himself. What a joke the man is. And now the world knows what a joke he is. My my my--the damage that guy is going to do to our country in his 4 years tenure is SO DISTURBING. It'll take a long time to undo the harm he'll inflict on us all.
Check out the Chicago Tribune story:
2016 Olympics decision: Chicago out in first round
Maybe they can pay attention to kids killing kids, the streets falling apart, the unemployment rate skyrocketing, the schools in Chicago tanking, etc.
Three strikes and you're out: Cubs stunk, White Sox stunk, Olympics' bid out in first vote.

"New data shows about 240,000 more Illinoisans lived in poverty in 2008 compared with 2000 and researchers say those statistics don't fully reflect the current recession." (Which means it'll be worse when data from the current recession kicks in.)

Interesting news tidbits this morning
(Click on the blue title after each number for the link to the story.)
1. Texas Teacher Stabbed to Death by Student in Classroom
"A Texas teacher who helped children with special needs by playing them the guitar was stabbed to death by a juvenile student at a high school in Tyler on Wednesday morning, authorities said." (I'm SO GLAD I'm retired from teaching.)
2."Barack Obama's churlishness is unforgivable"
From the United Kingdom's Telegraph. Even they are noticing that No-bama is, well, a dunce.
3."Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper"
Keep your damned hands off my toilet paper. It's bad enough I have to use those stupid curly light bulbs, they crab about coal power generating plants (we have a LOT of coal in Illinois), they won't let us build any more nuclear plants, and DDT has been outlawed (which would kill the bugs that cause malaria in poor countries) but NOW they want to control what kind of toilet paper we wipe out butts with. INSANITY is rampant.
4.ACORN sues Breitbart
Hypocricy at it's peak. They know they got caught so they go after the people who caught them. Typical liberal whacko ploy. FIGHT THEM!!!!
5. U.S. issues $7 trillion debt, supply to stabilize
Ya, let's just keep printing money. That's the way to make sure the economy does well. Again, INSANITY!!!
6. GOP gets big bump of donors in August
I gave them money---everyone who wants to rid our country of the control of demon-crats should give the GOP money.

Why didn't your NetFlix video arrive?
"Man admits lifting 3012 Netflix DVDs from Massachusetts mail facility"
That might be why. Read the story by clicking on this link.
Personally I've never been a Netflix user. I have satellite television with HBO & Showtime (love those Tudor episodes and many of the HBO series) and believe me there's PLENTY to watch on television without renting videos. If I could figure out how to hook up my DirecTV to their ON DEMAND system (I probably could figure it out but really, who needs that many things to choose from. I'd rather read a book or work a crossword puzzle) there'd be maybe a thousand more available to me. No thanks. This guy in the story stole more than 3000 DVDs. Wow. How'd he ever make it out of the house?

Is there any value in blogging?
So I admit that my blog is probably not among the most highly read or always intellectually stimulating. Hey, at least my mom likes the blog (thanks mom for the call today). I'm ever hopeful that other people like it also, but maybe I'll start promoting this site to draw in more readers. But then again the more it's promoted the more it becomes a target for the lefties that just hate conservative Republican women. They think we're all nitwits who sit around and knit, darn, or raise 18 kids (Can you believe that woman is STILL having babies? My offspring says her uterus is probably crying!). Nope, many of us conservative Republican women are just like me--professional women who have grave concerns about the path our country is on, concerns about the enormous debt we're incurring, and concerns about what this country will be like for our children and grandchildren.
So maybe I'm saying a lot to very few people, but maybe it's the RIGHT people. Just keep reading--I have LOTS more to say. Election season is upon us--believe me, this one will be really something.
Candidates for Illinois Governor
It was my privilege last night to go to a Kane County GOP forum and meet 5 candidates for governor. Each was asked a series of questions and responded with well thought out answers. I was impressed by all of them (Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard, Adam Andrzejewski, Dan Proft and Bob Schillerstrom). I had a chance to speak to Dan Proft and Bill Brady about their candidacies. I can honestly tell you there's not a bad candidate among these 5 fine men. I took notes, listened intently and here's my conclusion: My vote will probably go to Dan Proft. He makes the most sense and has the courage to tell it like it is--we're under a Demon-crat stranglehold (my words) in the State of Illinois and he just might be the only guy who can bring us out of the darkness to some level of sanity.
Here are some other thoughts:
Kirk Dillard needs to stop referring to his time as Jim Edgar's Chief of Staff. Not everyone remembers who Edgar is (I do but I'm over 50) and not everyone cares about the past--we need to move on. He also must have the most campaign money because he spread a lot of bumperstickers and literature & signs around. Bob Schillerstrom SHOUTS his thoughts (tone it down buddy)--he keeps touting how great everything is in DuPage County, but I'm not so sure about that. DuPage County is the mecca of how NOT to manage business placement--HAVE YOU EVER DRIVEN down Roosevelt Road? WOW--crowded and annoying. Adam Andrez.... seems like a great guy but I don't think he's being realistic about how government works. Yep, transparency is good, but not the answer to all ills. I like Bill Brady and particularly like his ideas about pension reform and ridding our state government of Blago folks. Unfortunately Brady's been in the Illinois legislature for a long time and might be well known in his district (Bloomington, but not necessarily elsewhere in the state. I'll bet his district loves him. By the way, his company built a home for a family in the Champaign area that will be featured on ABC's Extreme Home Makeover on October 25th. He did it for the right reasons--not for politics. Kudos to him for that.
I'm concerned that ANY candidate that's been in Springfield for a while is part of the ongoing insider corrupt-tolerant atmosphere that's been prevalent for ages. Any of these guys that have been in the legislature should have been SHOUTING what crooks Blago and the others were--and I don't recall that they did. So, in my opinion, we need someone as governor who HASN'T been part of the evil cabal of politicians who have been aiding and abetting the thievery of our money for ages. So I'm thinking I'm going to support Dan Proft.

And watch this and you'll realize why I retired from teaching college
It was like swimming upstream. TOO MANY IDIOTS (and a lot of them were the teachers). What are they teaching on a lot of campuses? Liberalism--that's become like the holy grail to TOO MANY TEACHERS. I AM SO GLAD I don't have to fight that every day. Ya, call me a quitter but I'm telling you it's an impossible battle against IDIOCY on way too many campuses. Until all the old hippie geezers die out (can't come too soon) that are teaching revisionist history and that America is evil we might see some semblance of sanity. Gonna be a long haul.
By the way, I love Steven Crowder. He's a smart guy--who obviously didn't go to one of these whack-job liberal colleges.

Even the Brits are noticing
"President Barack Obama is beginning to look out of his depth"
Here's the beginning of the article:
"It is lovely to feature in other people's dreams. The problem comes when they wake up. Barack Obama is an eloquent, brainy and likeable man with a fascinating biography. He is not George Bush. Those are great qualities. But they are not enough to lead America, let alone the world."
What do you do when you have an employee you thought could handle the job but shows he's just not capable of doing it? YOU FIRE HIM. So in the next election we need to fire No-bama. He's just SO FAR IN OVER HIS HEAD.
And here's another good quote from the article--and this is SO TRUE:
"Mr Obama has tactics a plenty - calm and patient engagement with unpleasant regimes, finding common interests, appealing to shared values - but where is the strategy? What, exactly, did "Change you can believe in" – the hallmark slogan of his campaign – actually mean?"

Please please please
tell me you didn't watch No-bama on all the Sunday morning shows. WHY WASTE YOUR TIME????
Nope, I didn't. We went to mass, stopped afterwards and had a scone & coffee and are enjoying the backyard and the dogs. This will be a football day and a "geez, I love the weather" day. I think I'll make some chili with my homegrown tomatos and hot peppers and kick back with an adult beverage while I watch my DirecTV football coverage.
By the way, you know you have a GREAT priest when he talks about going to a U2 concert one weekend and the next attending a Marmion football game AND a Notre Dame football game. And to make things even better he said mass in 45 minutes! I really like Father Fed.

"Screw the Constitution" (Obama secretly overheard)
Obamacare preys on the young, flouts the Constitution
CLICK ON THIS to read this editorial from today's Washington Examiner that really tells it all.
"Not that Americans are counting on Democrats to follow the rules anyway. The financial crisis has seen to it that politicians will stop at no law, no limitation on power, to look like they're solving problems. It's only natural when they don't think the American people can solve their own."
Shame on Demon-crats. They show their disdain for the American people with every single proposal, shenanigan, slimey deal, and all the abdications to the leftists throughout the world. Shame on them.

Fake e-mails from banks
This morning when I logged into my e-mail I noticed something that supposedly came from a bank, but it looked suspicious because it said there were some unauthorized log-ins into my account and I should click on the link and provide my log-in information so the problem should be resolved. NO WAY. So beware of any e-mails you get from ANY bank.
By the way, I did contact the bank and tell them about the sham e-mail. Make sure you report any such e-mails you might get from your bank.

Good info from Laura Ingraham
I am a Laura Ingraham listener and subscribe to her online podcasts. I received an e-mail this morning with these 10 things listed that we should all support.
1) Taxpayers' Bill of Rights (TABOR). Limit federal spending growth to the percentage in population growth plus the rate of inflation; provide taxpayers the option of filing a post-card sized return using a low, flat tax rate of 25%
2) End Tax-funded abortions. Stop federal payments to Planned Parenthood and prohibit any taxpayer-subsidized health insurance plan from covering abortion
3) Defend American Borders. Complete America's border-protection initiatives using remaining funds from the so-called stimulus bill
4) King Dollar. Preserve a strong dollar so that Americans' savings aren't wiped out by inflation and the U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency
5) Empower American Business. Immediately slash corporate tax rates to 15% and scrap the corporate capital-gains tax altogether
6) Defend America. Strengthen America to defend our homeland and fully fund an operational, layered missile-defense system
7) Statism Exit Plan. De-fund czars; immediately cease bailout payments to failed companies; ban future bailouts
8) End Generational Theft. As few believe America's entitlement programs will be able to pay benefits to future generations, provide younger workers the choice of diverting payroll/Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts
9) Restore America's System of Justice. Introduce British-style penalties for frivolous lawsuits, where those who launch unsuccessful lawsuits are liable for the defendants' legal bills
10) American Energy Independence. All-of-the-Above strategy that embraces alternatives, expands and accelerates exploration and production of oil and natural gas, and jumpstarts dramatic increases in nuclear power

And this is why I'm happy to be retired
"Teachers unions have contributed over $1.3 million to ACORN and its affiliates, since 2005, according to U.S. Labor Department financial disclosure forms." SOURCE: WASHINGTON EXAMINER
When I was forced to pay union dues and therefore contribute to both the NEA and IEA I asked for a refund of the "political" money the NEA took from me. I never got it back.
"Both the NEA and Teachers AFL-CIO advertise as strong advocates for children. ACORN staffers in Baltimore were caught on video instructing James O’Keefe, the undercover filmmaker, and his partner Hannah Giles how they could falsify documents and obtain benefits for 13 “very young girls” from El Salvador."
I was never happy with the political positions NEA took--they always supported Demon-crats (I obviously didn't) and they promoted such things as condoms in schools and the teaching about "alternative cultures" (like homosexuality) which I didn't think had any place in the classroom. Let's just say I was never a darling in the union world. I vowed to quit teaching when I'd be forced into another teacher's union. I kept my word. I'm not happily retired and not sending those thieves at NEA or any other union ONE CENT.

Reprinted from this afternoon's Washington Examiner:
EXAMINER HOT ZONE: Does Obama think Americans are so gullible?
Here's some of the highlights:
--"President Obama’s address to Congress and the nation Wednesday evening was yet another illustration of his seemingly endless ability to soar to genuinely impressive rhetorical heights without ever landing back on truthful ground."
--"So it was throughout this 47- minute nationally televised monument to presidential flimflam. Sometimes the prevarications were so obvious that even the president’s most ardent supporters – like the news staff of The New York Times - had to concede that he was playing fast and loose with the facts."
--"In short, did the president sleep through August?"
I've said it before and I'll keep repeating it--No-bama is a LIAR. It's becoming so glaringly obvious that it's pathetic. I hope those dopes who voted for him are listening.

Yep, he's a liar
Obama heckled by GOP during speech: 'You lie!'
Rep. Joe Wilson from South Carolina said it, and he's right. And then Senator McCain (of course) said nasty things about a Republican. That's why McCain is a dolt.So did you listen to the No-bama infomercial? I didn't waste an hour of my time. Instead I chased my dogs around the back yard and enjoyed the glorious weather with my husband. That was a much better use of my time rather than listening to No-bama lie to the US Congress, the American people, and the world. Geez, I just saw a few clips and had to laugh--this guy is SO OBVIOUSLY a liar that it's laughable--and people throughout the world must be laughing that the voters of this country put this idiot into the presidency. How horribly sad for all of us that this guy sits in the White House.
So please folks, use come common sense--revenue neutral---PULEEZE. How stupid are you No-bama. Like I said in an earlier post--you'd think a Harvard Law grad would be smarter. I guess not.
And by the way, kudos to Rep. Wilson. He just said what we were all thinking.
Finally someone has the guts to arrest some of he criminals in ACORN
11 accused of faking voter registration cards in Miami-Dade
"Eleven people hired to register potential voters in Miami-Dade County before last year's presidential election were being sought Wednesday for falsifying hundreds of voter registration cards. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office issued arrest warrants for each of the 11 suspects, all of whom worked for the local chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, (ACORN)."
