Pace e Bene in 2008!


Our lives are made of days and nights, of seasons and years, for we are part of a universe of suns and moons and planets. We mark ends and we make beginnings and, in all, we praise God for the grace and mercy that fill our days.

Remember us, 0 God; from age to age be our comforter. You have given us the wonder of time, blessings in days and nights, seasons and years.

Bless your children at the turning of the year and fill the months ahead with the bright hope that is ours in the coming of Christ.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. R. Amen. —St. Francis of Assisi


"See" you in a year -- I mean in 2008! Pace e Bene: Peace and Blessings, Auntie Coosa

A Soldier's Letter to a friend says it best

Merry Christmas my friends.

To fill you guys in on a few things, I am like a dog with a command word. I can joke here, make you laugh, talk computers, post funny pictures, and bash the politician of the day. But when it comes to what I do over here, you can bet I don't flinch. I have absolutely no emotion, no hesitation, and no issues carrying out my work. I don't think I am ruthless, I just do not care one bit for anything that gets in the way of our interests.

1. America
2. Everything else.

That's how I see things.

Today Americans say MERRY CHRISTMAS and a few are bothered that stores say happy holidays. But we still have the option to worship or not, as we choose.

Today Americans get upset that we PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH and that Spanish is on the rise. Well at least it's not Pashto or Arabic.

Today Americans are sad that their sons and daughters are fighting battles overseas, far away from home. Well at least the battles are not between your home and the office, or on your child's school grounds, and no bombs go off in your neighborhood at night.

Today Americans are excited that they got iPods, cameras, cell phones, cars, boats, radios, and maybe a piano or two. All of which are illegal under the regime that wanted to control us.

Today Americans worry about gas prices next summer, what Santa will do next year to top this year, and how they are going to pay for all this stuff. Isn't it great to know that you are going to live another year?

Today Americans joke about all the Triptofan in their turkeys and how it puts you to sleep, where cranberry sauce shaped like the can really comes from, and who will eat all the dessert. I hope you never have to eat a Turkey MRE in your life.

Today Americans debate who they should choose for their next leader. Wow, that one needs no explanation. Isn't that a great thing!

Today Americans are free, because they want to be, and consider it important enough to fight for it.

God Bless You America. Thank you for allowing me to humbly serve in your defenses. It is the highest honor of my life.

Boxing Day (if you're a Brit)

Today is traditionally "Boxing Day" in Britain and Canada and perhaps other Anglophile Countries). And in the USofA, many Christmas gifts are also being re-boxed and taken back to the store of purchase (or local chain) to be exchanged for a different size, different color, or different item.

That aside, I've looked at my posts over the past year and have decided that today will be Politics Free (although you can Google up the latest if you're so inclined). I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the sad news. I'm tired of reading about auto accidents, murders, suicides, deaths of the famous and infamous, how poorly the stock market is doing, reduced construction, foreclosures, the housing market, and on and on and on.

Why can't we have GOOD news reported once in a while? Here's my suggested list:

  • In the past year:

  • How many people did not die tragically?

  • How many people did not get a traffic ticket for DUI or DWI?

  • How many people did not get drunk and do something stupid?

  • How many people did not take any illicit drugs?

  • How many people did not go into foreclosure?

  • How many people did not suffer from any form of Cancer?

  • How many people welcomed a newborn (or adopted child) into their household?

  • How many people bought a new car (and can make the payments)?

  • How many people got married?

  • How many people graduated from High School and went on to College?

  • How many people applied for a US Passport?

  • How many people are working at the job they always dreamed about?

  • How many people volunteered at a social service agency?

  • How many people got a flu shot?

  • How many people were not rushed to the hospital or ER?

  • How many people applied for "green cards" to enter the USofA legally?

  • How many people used a computer to shop for gifts?

  • How many people laughed at least once a day?

  • How many people adopted a new pet?

  • How many people visited close relatives and enjoyed the visit?

  • How many people say prayers when they get up in the morning and when they go to sleep at night?

  • How many people did not say one curse word or take God's Name in vain?

  • How many people smiled at strangers they met?

  • How many people developed a new hobby?

  • How many people gave a hug when a hug was needed?

  • How many people donated money online?

  • How many people told or emailed a truly funny joke or story?

  • How many people can think of many more "good news items" to add to my list?


  • This is not an inclusive list, just some things off the top of my head. Please feel free to add your list to the comments section.

    And today, think about all the goodness in your world and in the world at large. Yes, there are wars and genocide and hate-mongering, and political correctness gone awry. Yet, through it all, there are kind people and kind actions and thoughtfulness and love.

    May the 12 Days of Christmas (through January 6, the Epiphany of our Lord) be a time of reflection upon good news in your life this past year.

    God Bless!

    The Haj before Christmas?

    Merry Christmas 2007

    God our Father, every year we rejoice as we look forward to this feast of our salvation. May we welcome Christ as our Redeemer, and meet him with confidence when he comes to be our judge, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
    Luke 2:1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled. 2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David, 5 To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.

    6 And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock. 9 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear. 10 And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: 11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. 15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

    16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. 17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. 18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

    Christmas Eve 2007


    Luke 2:1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled. 2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David, 5 To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.

    Come Lord Jesus, do not delay; give new courage to your people who trust in your love. By your coming, raise us to the joy of your kingdom, where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    On this holiest of nights, let us take time to pray for Peace in our time and Peace in our hearts. God Bless you.

    Well, I don't care either!

    Letter from one "Angry Woman"

    The person who passed this to me said she didn't know who wrote this letter but she should have signed it. These are some powerful words, written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.

    "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

    Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

    Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

    And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

    I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

    I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia .

    I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

    I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

    I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

    I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

    In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

    When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.

    When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.

    When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

    And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care!!

    If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to your friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

    If you don't agree, then by all means just ignore it. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country!

    And may I add:
    "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan

    I have another quote that I would like to add:
    "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by Ronald Reagan

    One last thought for the day:
    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in. And how many want out."


    Important for us all to recall!
    Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American GI.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    YOU MIGHT WANT TO MENTION THIS WHEN SPEAKING TO OTHERS, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET. AMEN!

    YES, Merry CHRISTmas!

    Merry Christmas says CNN Contributing Journalist, Roland S Martin.
    Because of all the politically correct idiots, we are being encouraged to stop saying "Merry Christmas" for the more palatable "Happy Holidays." What the heck are "Seasons Greetings"? Can someone tell me what season we are greeting folks about? A Christmas tree? Oh, no! It's now a holiday tree. Any Christmas song that even remotely mentions Christ or has a religious undertone is being axed for being overtly religious.

    But this seeming backlash against Christianity is bordering on the absurd, and we should continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.

    Its time that we return to traditional values, and end this ridiculous charade. It's important that we take a fuller account of WHY we celebrate Christmas . . . .

    America might be the king of capitalism, but secularism must never become so prevalent that our religious traditions are discarded.

    Bill Clinton: George H.W. Bush will help President Hillary

    George H.W. Bush Says He Did Not Agree to Diplomatic Mission With Bill Clinton

    Former President George H.W. Bush is taking issue with statements made by Bill Clinton Monday that the duo would embark on a mission of diplomacy around the world if his wife is elected president, implying that the former president would need to swoop in to repair diplomatic damage wrought by his son.

    Former President Bill Clinton told an Orangeburg, SC, audience on Monday:
    "Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

    DECEPTION on the part of the Clintons is nothing new. This is a smoke screen for something else that is occurring with Hillary Clinton's campaign. If they can get the attention off of themselves and onto someone else, then they and their staff can do their "ususal" immoral activities "under the radar." I'm a Dixie-Crat, and I found the Clinton Pattern!

    Time for Retirement for Senator Byrd? YES!!!

    Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., is 90 and needs assistance to move around the Senate. There are rumors that leaders of the Democrat Party
    "are discussing ways to put a more junior committee member in charge of the day-to-day operations of the Senate's chief budgetary panel due to questions over his ability to physically handle the job."

    Off the record, Byrd is responsible for the lack of an approved budget for the fiscal year. On the record, the Democrats either are pleased with Senator Byrd's performance, or they blame Bush for the lack of a budget bill.

    With the Democrats it's same-old-same-old.

    Saudi King Pardons Victim

    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A gang-rape victim who was sentenced to six months in prison and 200 lashes for being alone with a man not related to her was pardoned by the Saudi king after the case sparked rare criticism from the United States, the kingdom's top ally.

    With the pardon, Abdullah appeared to be aiming at relieving the pressure from the United States without being seen to criticize Saudi Arabia's conservative legal system, a stronghold of powerful clerics adhering to the strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam.

    Justice Minister Abdullah bin Mohammed al-Sheik said the pardon reported Monday by Saudi media does not mean the king doubted the country's judges, but that he was acting in the "interests of the people."

    "We're very pleased by the decision that was taken by the king, and we certainly hope it will send a signal to the Saudi judiciary," deputy spokesman Tom Casey told reporters. "We certainly hope it will send a signal to the Saudi judiciary.

    "The king's order consolidates and confirms what is known about the Islamic courts," al-Sheik told Al-Jazirah. "Efficient judges look into different cases and issue their just verdicts and those convicted have the right to appeal."


    Double Speak coming from Saudi Arabia? Looks like it from here. WHERE is the National Organization for Women? Where is Speaker Pelosi's outrage? Why hsa no group of women protested the original decision of the Saudi Justice (word used loosely) System? A Photo Here.

    NEW DVD BANNED BY MEDIA: Hillary! Uncensored

    Features Explosive Home Video Footage of Clinton Corruption


    Now Available for Public Distribution -- IN LIMITED QUANTITIES!

    "Exposing the illegalities that elected Hillary to the Senate and the
    obstructions of justice that keep her there."

    RETAIL $29.99 ONLY $24.95 • While Supplies Last.
    ORDER ONLINE or CALL 1.800.678.3915


    Hillary! Uncensored is the first major motion picture that:

    * Exposes the evidence of numerous criminal violations committed by Hillary Clinton, with Bill Clinton's assistance as her agent, to win her 2000 Senate election, and then her 2006 re-election, and cover-up her accountability.

    * Documents from the public record how Hillary Clinton used the President of the US, the Chairman of the DNC, a White House staff assistant, a former strip club owner and her national campaign finance director as her agents to illegally solicit and coordinate more than $1.2 million from her largest donor, a Hollywood businessman with three felony convictions from 1970's anti-Castro activities he captured discussing with Hillary on video tape!

    * Explains how Hillary Clinton undermined the fundamental purpose of America's Election Laws by hiding from the FEC, and lying to the public through quotes in the Washington Post, the identity of her largest donor- Peter Paul- and how much he donated to her campaign.

    * Presents questions about the FEC's role in enabling Hillary Clinton to avoid admitting she made false statements to the Washington Post- that she took no "money" from Peter Paul for her campaign when her own fourth FEC report admitted she took twice as much from Paul than any other reported donor in 2000. By the FEC allowing Hillary's campaign to file a fourth false FEC report on January 30, 2006, as part of a settlement and FEC fine for her Treasurer's prior three false reports which hid Paul's donations, the FEC allowed Hillary's campaign to contradict the evidence presented by the FBI and Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity in the May 2005 trial of her finance Director David Rosen- that Peter Paul personally contributed more than $1.1 million to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign! This false report enabled Hillary Clinton's re-election to the Senate without addressing the proof of the false statements she made about Paul to assure her first election.

    * Hillary!Uncensored shows that Hillary Clinton has conducted the most pervasive obstruction of justice and cover-up of her misconduct since Richard Nixon's Watergate obstruction and cover-up - involving the corruption of the Office of Public Integrity in the Justice Department, the corruption of a federal judge appointed by the Clintons who presided over a sham criminal trial of Hillary's finance director and the corruption of the FEC- who were all complicit in hiding the truth about Hillary Clinton's role in the frauds that elected and re-elected her to the US Senate.

    Very Serious Questions

    Is Harry Reid guilty of a HATE CRIMES or HATE SPEECH because of the language he has used when speaking about anything or anyone with whom he disagrees? I refer to the way he has addressed the sitting President of the USofA.

    Is Nancy Pelosi guilty of HATE CRIMES or HATE SPEECH for the language she has used when speaking against those with whom she disagrees? I refer to her language when railing against President Bush.

    Is Hillary Clinton guilty of HATE CRIMES or HATE SPEECH for the way she has caterwauled against the (non existent) Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?


    Should Congressmen and Congresswomen be held to a higher standard than the language used in bar room brawls?

    Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.

    Response to Sen Durbin's Radio Address, Dec 8, 2007

    Senator Durbin:

    I listened to your Democrat Radio Address more than once so that I could respond to it.

    First: The Political Party is incorrectly written and spoken by media and even Congress people. When speaking of the Party, it’s Democrat. We all are “democratic” whether we adhere to the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, the Libertarian Party, the Constitutional Party, etc. Please try to educate Congress in the correct use of the term “Democrat” and “democratic.” As a listener and reader every time the incorrect term “Democratic” is used when the person means Democrat Party, I cringe. I would appreciate your cooperation so that I no longer have to cringe. Thank you.

    Second: You call the Republicans to task stating they are making a “no can do” Congress when you and I know that the reason is because nearly every bill includes Democrat and even Republican PORK or amendments attached to bills which are not even related by topic to the intent of the original bill. When are you Congress people going to stop attaching unrelated PORK or unrelated and unrealistic amendments to bills and give the U.S. public bills which are straight forward, honest, and have no room for interpretation? If you’ve followed any particular bill from inception to implementation by the various States, you will find that by the time the States decipher it, the original intent is usually so redefined that you in Congress would not recognize it as the original bill. If you disbelieve it, get a staff member to do some research.

    Third: The mortgage situation doesn’t need any Congressional money thrown at it to try to “fix” it. Housing equity will eventually rise to its previous level and then some. It always does. There would not be this temporary “meltdown,” as you call it, if Congress and the Federal Reserve would quit trying to influence interest rates to the benefit of rich investors, many of them from overseas (my best guess). The rich get richer and the poor get Congressional monetary assistance which in turn means that the poor do not have to accept responsibility for their financial investments in a house. And why do people purchase housing they can’t afford? Because sales people want their commission? Because people listen to and believe that they “deserve” the “good life” whether they can afford it or not? Why do banks fill people’s mailboxes with offers of charge cards? Why does the “mail” encourage people to overspend? The issue which needs to be addressed is a person’s innate greed for more and lust for bigger-better-newer. And this area is not Congresses responsibility, no matter how many voters tell you it is. Each of us is responsible for his/her own actions and the problems arising from those actions. True Congress and the Federal Reserve is partially responsible for initiating the current financial mini-crisis, but the people who purchased houses they could not afford to keep and to keep up are also responsible. I will grant you that the construction industry has built too many “speculation” houses. But this again is not Congresses problem. What happened to “supply and demand” economics? What happened to personal responsibility?

    Fourth: The U.S. already has good “toy safety laws” on the books. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, like most areas of enforcement in this Country, is under funded and under staffed. Yes, a bipartisan (truly bipartisan with no PORK and no added amendments) bill to increase surveillance at the point of entrance into the U.S. and to penalize those overseas manufacturers who fail to follow U.S. guidelines for toys exported to the U.S. is needed. So to are Federal funds for more ‘hands on’ inspectors, giving them state-of-the-art laboratories in which to test toys, which would greatly enhance the safety of toys. Another way to look at this issue is to make parents ultimately responsible for their choice of toys for their child and eliminating any lawsuits by parents against toy manufacturers. Instead, a Federal law would cause an overseas contractor to lose existing contracts to produce toys for a specified time limit. And you know what just might happen? Parents would be influenced to “buy American” which is good for the U.S. economy.

    Fifth: I think it humorous that a Democrat would quote Lincoln. But then, it was Lincoln’s Congress which placed a tariff on goods manufactured in the South for sale in markets in the North. And Congress did not rescind this burden placed on the South until 1962. After World War II, did Congress treat Germany and Japan the same way it treated the South after the “Civil War?” Of course not. Talk about reparations for past sins, the North owes the South for what Congress did to penalize and subjugate us for so many years. When is Congress going to (ever) address this issue? Before any Federal Tax money is given to the heirs of slaves (and there were slaves in the North, too), Congress owes the South. When will we (ever) receive our due for the cruel and unusual punishment the North placed on the South? Lincoln was no “hero” you want him to be as far as his real motives and treatment of the Southern States. As for General McClelland, at least he had war ethics and a conscience.

    Sixth: A Democrat led Congress boasts of increasing minimum wages. Fine, except that now the Mom and Pop stores along with some smaller franchise stores cannot hire the help they need and the manager or manager/owner has to work longer hours to keep the store open. Some Congress person failed to look at the bigger picture and (here I’d like to have an amendment) allow stores to hire teens to their 21st birthday at a lower than minimum wage rate. It might also keep a few tens of thousands of children in school longer so that they could start working with at least the higher minimum wage.

    Seventh: If voters voted for change, why didn’t they get it? Rep. Nancy Pelosi has held bills in committee and refused to allow them to get to the floor of the House. This is change? Sen. Harry Reid (among other Democrats) has maliciously spoken against a sitting President and the Iraq War and made other statements, along with many Democrat Congress people, which are detrimental to the sovereignty of the United States. This is not the change voted for. Trust me on this.

    Eighth: You claim you passed a tough ethics law but you and Congress have refused to examine the many cases against Hillary Rodham Clinton in an effort, I can only guess, to remain the majority Party in Congress. What kind of ethics is that? Why doesn’t the Congressional Ethics Committee take a very close look at these websites:
    http://www.hillaryforpresident-2008.com/
    http://www.nohillaryclinton.com/
    http://www.stophernow.com/site/PageServer
    Why doesn’t Congress listen to this radio personality? http://tinyurl.com/3d6x4v
    Why doesn’t Congress listen to this video program? http://tinyurl.com/2dfgjc
    What are you afraid of if you state the Democrats are more “ethical” than the Republicans? Prove it. Scrutinize your own Party before attempting to examine the other Party.

    Ninth: Democrats are supporting health Insurance for an “estimated” 10 million children. That number was off by about 75% in Georgia. Where do you get your numbers? And, dare I say, you’re going about medical coverage in a very expensive way. Let me explain that I have 25 year’s experience in the field of Medicaid and S-CHIP casework. I’d say I’m an expert. And here’s what I believe would be a much better S-CHIP idea. Ready?
    A- End all Medicaid and S-CHIP for non-citizens and set up a totally separate category of health insurance for children and pregnant women who are here illegally to cover them and also to bill their home Country. Every one coming in for medical aid must produce birth verification from their home Country so that that Country can be billed. Since the Country will probably refuse, aid to that Country will be reduced by the amount of money spent on medical coverage for their citizens.
    B- Keep the maximum for S-CHIP eligibility at 235% or less of the Federal Poverty Level.
    C- Create another category which covers only Dental and/or Pharmacy and/or Vision coverage for families above 235% Federal Poverty Level up to 285% Federal Poverty Level. This would encourage families to retain private health insurance either through employer or privately held.
    D- Create Seven Classes of S-CHIP, all of which are more like private health insurance instead of Medicaid look-alikes. If S-CHIP were more like private insurance, more households would not drop their insurance for S-CHIP.
    E- Give States a “range” of premium payments consistent with private insurance, but slightly less than private insurance for their State and locality. This would also encourage families to retain their private insurance.
    F- Include a small co-pay at doctor, hospital, pharmacy, dentist, and ophthalmologist or optometrist . This would be similar to most private insurance policies and again increase the likelihood that families would retain private insurance through their employer rather than drop the insurance on their children.
    G- Those Seven Classes of S-CHIP would be 1) Medical, Pharmacy Dentist and Vision; 2) Pharmacy; Dentist and Vision; 3) Dentist and Vision; 4) Pharmacy and Vision; 5) Dentist only; 6) Pharmacy only; 7) Vision only. Parts 2 through 7 would be available not only for Families between Medicaid FPL and 235% FPL but also for Families between 235% and 285% Federal Poverty Level for household size.
    H- Vision would include eye exams, corrective surgery for certain physical deformities of the eye not covered under the health insurance policy and 50% to 75% discount on eye wear for glasses or contacts.

    Tenth: You state that the public is tired of the “infighting” in Congress. May I remind you once again, Rep. Nancy Pelosi is a divisive factor in the House and Sen. Harry Reid is a divisive factor in the Senate. And both of these belong to the Democrat Party.

    Eleventh: Energy and Global Warming. First of all, Congress is responsible for both. Congress has neglected to increase emission limits and raise gas mileage to what I’d call “respectable” levels. I’m still driving my 1995 Ford Escort, 5 speed stick shift, that gets 38 to 40 miles per gallon. The catalytic converter still works and I still have the original muffler system and engine. And did I mention I get nearly 40 miles per gallon! Congress is in love with “Big Oil” as you are well aware and if you doubt, look at any Congressional list of contributors. J Congress has the power to buck the system and demand that cars be made now with higher gas mileage and with lower emissions limits. There is no reason to give the automobile manufacturers so much time to make changes. And if they can’t produce . . . then the problem is theirs and Congress does not need to go ‘bailing out’ any more manufacturers of anything. Demand and Supply. If Congress Demands it, auto manufacturers will Supply it. In the past, there have been inventors who have devised non gasoline using engines. Where are these inventions for alternative fuels? Who has them and why are they now? The Public believes that the auto manufacturers and oil companies paid off the inventors and trashed the invention just to keep the world and especially the U.S. subservient to Big Oil.

    I personally do not believe in Global Warming any more than I believe in evolution of the species. I’m 63 and when I was in school we were terrified of the coming Ice Age. It never appeared, either. Global Warming is a hoax, sir. There’s not enough scientific (real science) evidence to prove it exists. There is only the same speculation used to create the fear of an Ice Age. If a person looks at the solar system as a part of a whole universe, then one sees that there are solar systems being created and dying all around us. Maybe they have a planet similar to the earth with people living on it. We look up in the night sky with our telescopes or the Hubble Space Telescope and take photos of a dying solar system or of an explosion creating another solar system thousands or millions of light years away. Did anyone think that our solar system is doomed to the same fate at some time in its existence? If our solar system was created as those we see millions of miles away, then our solar system will incur the same fate. And whether we see it in our lifetimes or not, we must accept as fact that this solar system will one day cease to exist.

    Twelfth: Democrats call the War in Iraq a Civil War. Well, they called that war we had in the U.S. a Civil War, too. Only, we in the South call it, (present tense) the War of Northern Aggression. I’ve already mentioned this in the Fifth section above. Re-read the part about how the North kept its foot on the neck of the South until 1962 when the tariff against the South was rescinded. This is the very reason the South is proud of our heritage, our various flags, and our States Rights politics. Then you paraphrase the Lincoln phrase and state “what’s the use of having power if you can’t use it?” You know, Senator, that many of us in the U.S. wonder the same thing as it pertains to the War. Why didn’t we just A or H bomb Iraq and Afghanistan as we did Germany and Japan in World War II and once they surrendered go back in to help them rebuild? Why? Because the U.S. is afraid of the U.N.’s opinion? Or because we no longer have the “stomach” for victory by bombing? Initially, a couple of A or H bombs and this War would have ended as al qaeda and the taliban threw down their arms and gave up. And if they refused, toss in a few more each time we offer them the opportunity to surrender until they do. End of War.

    Thirteenth: Lucky Thirteen. The U.S. Government has gotten too large for anyone or group to oversee and much too large for any group or person to try to micromanage. The Democrats fighting against the Republicans, while a time honored tradition, is a bit much in the 21st Century. Both sides and a few non-major Party affiliates, need to mediate and make decisions about running the Federal Government in a more precise and less obtrusive way. End Big Government – this won’t happen only because you all are Democrats and you are traditionally for Big Brother Government and micromanaging both States and U.S. citizens. Build the Fence – this won’t happen because some how you Democrats have it in your head that “some day some way” the illegal aliens among us are going to vote Democrat. It’s a false assumption, sir, check your history, immigrants have traditionally voted Republican. Free Ramos and Compean – you just might pass one of those specialized bills and do this, even as you investigate D.A. Johnny Sutton for abuse of power and collusion with a drug smuggler (who is related to a different Border Agent) on his second huge drug run into the U.S. Stop the NAFTA highway – would you confront your financial sponsors to accomplish this? U.S. roadways are not built for oversize, overweight trucks. If you really investigate the bridge collapse in Minneapolis can be directly linked to too many overweight NAFTA trucks driving over it. Probably most of the other InterState and Major Highway bridge collapses can be linked to overweight NAFTA trucks running from Mexico to Canada. And just WHY are Border Guards refused authority to inspect these trucks? Who’s responsible for that? One or some of those trucks may be filled with explosives. No one will know if no one has authority to thoroughly inspect the truck, driver, and destination. So why not just abandon the North American Union and the NAFTA Highway?

    It’s been said that there is no way to deport the 21 Million Illegal Aliens in the Country. Everyone wants to excuse their breaking of U.S. law in order to find a “better life” for themselves and their children. Well, what about what their being in the U.S. does to us Citizens? The first mention of immigration is in the original Constitution.
    Section 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
    To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
    To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
    To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
    And also Article IV, Section 4 states: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
    Now let’s look at the 14th Amendment:
    Article One
    Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Crucial word here: either born or naturalized in the U.S. are “subject to the jurisdiction there of” are citizens. This says nothing about illegal aliens.
    I think this is clear and concise language that defines who is and who is not a Citizen of the U.S. Congress has failed to protect U.S. citizens against the invasion from Mexico and other Nations, much to our detriment. We are not a “nation of immigrants” we are a Nation of Legal/Naturalized Immigrants. Make no mistake about it.
    The finances that Congress needs to implement the S-CHIP are available if and only if the Federal Government mandates that all illegal aliens be returned to their home Nation. The money saved is in the billions. Verification is here: http://tinyurl.com/2rsvfy and the total yearly is $338.3 BILLION dollars. Billion. Verified. Every year that Congress fails to authorize the States to send Illegal Aliens back to their Country of origin, we, you and I and the rest of the U.S. loses $338,300,000.000. (Three hundred, Thirty-eight Billion, Three hundred Million, dollars.)
    Either Congress is going to follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights or it is going to ignore it and allow the Courts to legislate by judicial decision. Both not following what you swore to uphold and by abdicating your authority as Congress to allow various appointed and elected judges, including the Supreme Court, to legislate by judicial decision is neither democratic nor “what we voted for when we gave Democrats the majority in Congress.

    Please take this letter to the Democrats in Congress (both houses) so that they can use this as a catalyst for positive change.

    If you wish to know my political Party, I live in Georgia and we do not have to declare. If I did, I would declare Democrat as I am a “Dixie-crat” and one who remembers what Southern Democrats originally stood for. This does not assure that I would vote for a Democrat for President, but certainly for Sole Commissioner of my County Government. The Democrat Party of today is not the same as it was in my Grandfather's day. The South has stayed the same, the Democrat Party has changed.

    News and Views

    Bring Back Ellis Island for Asylum Seekers.

    Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out.

    You call it dirt? I call it Dinosaur poop.

    The Plan (for States where Political Affiliation is not required) is to vote for Baraka Hussein Obama in the Primaries so that the Democrat National Convention doesn't have to find a way to maneuver Hillary Rodham Clinton off of the Democrat Ticket. Even Karl Rove is trying to assist Senator Obama. From other news articles, I've learned that Senator Clinton is considered too divisive a candidate for the general population of voters and the DNC is unsure that she could win the election against any Republican nominee. She has no experience other than being Bill Clinton's wife. Her ideas for Universal Health Care are not fiscally sound. Supposedly she's the "feminists" candidate yet their support is not publicized. Who is Senator Clinton, really? Other than a Saul Alinski socialist, what does she bring to the Presidency other than the second half of another political dynasty? She's already been "we are the President" POTUS. It's time for new blood and new ideas, y'all. Just like Bill Clinton, she waits for the 'polls' to tell her which side of a discussion she's going to defend. Otherwise, she waffles or makes innocuous statements. She has no core opinions on any subject. And if she does, when the polls indicate the public doesn't share her ideas, she'll change to accommodate "the masses" whom she truly believes are not capable of governing themselves in a democratic environment.

    The Clinton Dynasty has learned a socialist trick: If you say something is true long enough, people will believe it, even if the speaker and the public know that what you are proclaiming is a lie.

    And then we approach Senator Baraka Hussein Obama and examine his experience. Not much there either. In fact, other than "popularity" the Democrats have little that's new to offer the public other than being a Democrat.

    If you think about it, the most divisive segment of our population is characterized as "politics." And even the Main Street Media cannot stop its political feeding frenzy. They're turning on their own (Democrat/Liberal) candidates!

    Just Remember, Hillary Rodham Clinton cannot be crowned Queen of the USofA. It's not Constitutional, no matter what www.moveon.org and George Soros says. Okay? Understand? Good.

    Brit Teacher in Sudan Pardoned

    KHARTOUM, Sudan -- Gibbons said in a written statement delivered to Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir that she did not intend to offend anyone and had great respect for Islam. Her release came after two British Muslim politicians from the House of Lords met with al-Bashir to plead for her release.

    Lord Nazir Ahmed, who met with al-Bashir earlier Monday along with Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, said the case was an "unfortunate misunderstanding" and stressed that Britain respected Islam.

    He hoped "the relations between our two countries will not be damaged by this incident," Ahmed told reporters at the presidential palace after Monday's meeting.

    Ghazi Saladdin, a senior presidential adviser, said al-Bashir insisted that Gibbons had a "fair trial," but he agreed to pardon her because of the efforts by the British Muslim delegation. The trial was sparked when a school secretary complained to the Education Ministry that Gibbons aimed to insult the Prophet Muhammad.

    The conviction shocked many Britons, but the case was caught up in the ideology that al-Bashir's Islamic regime has long instilled in Sudan, a mix of anti-colonialism, religious fundamentalism and a sense that the West is besieging Islam.

    The Teddy Bear VS Darfur

    The REAL reason for the Sudanese Teddy Bear named Muhammad issue is NOT the Teddy Bear! It is to get the world's attention off of DARFUR and onto something the Mullahs can incite their uneducated, ignorant of the world beyond 800 AD, mosque attendees. Why would ANYONE take a sword or knife to a mosque on the Friday after the news reports about a Teddy Bear named Muhammad? No reason except they were told to do so by . . . whom? Ah, the Mullahs. How totally barbarian.

    THIS is what a normal person sees:

    And HERE he proves it.

    Obama calls it "My Muslim Faith" and This Raises More Questions

    George Stephanopoulos tries to correct Obama when he says "my Muslim faith" but it wasn't a gaffe and Obama corrects Stephanopoulos. The Question is: Why say "MY Muslim faith" first? He went back to correct Stephanopoulos, but again "MY Muslim faith" was used. WHY?

    Obama is to the USofA as Castro was to Cuba!
