Footballer Doesn't Know How to Respect Flag

What surprises me is that he is a self-described Army Brat. So he got caught up in the heat of the moment and desided to get all those leftist, pinko types all excited and into the game? How in the world do you EVER think it okay to just drop the US flag on the ground?

Obviously received too many blows to his head or he has the IQ of a grape fruit.

$pendo-Crat Loves Her Some Fidelism

It seems Rep. Diane Watson [D] loves her a little Cuban Revolution and Fidel. And I thought the $pendo-Crats were just stupid, now it appears they are REALLY stupid. So the Cuban Revolution is good Rep. Watson that thousands of people have risked their lives to get out of Cuba. Wow, I'm just stunned.

So Much For Sitting on the Sidelines

It is becoming very clear that this administration is interested in only their agenda and will do whatever it takes, ethical, unethical and even illegal to get it. I have watched with rapt attention to Mr. Obama and Nancy Pelosi stomp on American ideals and liberties to get their 'legislation' passed.

If you argue with them in Town Hall meetings you are a racist and un-American. If you try to ask some of them questions you have to show ID to prove you are a constituent. Forget that according to Obama-crats it is un-American to require a citizen prove who they are when it comes to voting.

Now Mr. Obama wants control of the Internet. His new legislation would put the Internet in the US under his control. This from the same guy that was asking your neighbors to report on you to his White House staff via the infamous flag@whitehouse.gov account.

Our president is spending our great grand childrens money like it is going out of style. And guess what, it will go out of style. The more in debt we go the more the world will turn away from the Dollar. The $pendo-crats are turning the US into a 2nd world country.

I'm still waiting to hear from someone, anyone that has read the Obama-Care plan (strike that it will now be called Teddy-Care after the last of the Kennedys) from beginning to end and understood it. Something tells me that Ted tried and that is what caused his head to... Oh better stop now before I offend someone.

The Death of Democracy in Pakistan?

Does the assassination of Benazir Bhutto mean the end of democracy in Pakistan? Is there any hope for Musharaf to end the rioting without marshal law? Will the people see who is behind this and turn against the Muslim extremists, or will they turn their anger toward Musharaf and democracy?

The death of Butto is a serious blow to Pakistan and democracy everywhere, but it could become a rally cry to end extremism. If the people of Pakistan can see that it was those who hide al Queda and bin Laden in the mountains who are responsible for this act, then maybe this can be a nexus, a turning point for getting control of the imams that teach hate.

The Letter F

I found some time back that the meaning of life, what is best in life, is 'in' the letter F. Well, not just the letter, but words that begin with the letter F. Friendship, Food, Fun, Family, Football, Faith, Flying...

To me cooking BBQ (food) surrounded by family and friends, watching football is fun. I love to fly, but gave it up as a career some time back for my family.

What other F words have meaning?

Freedom
Fishing
Flavor
Feasting
Feelings
Festivals
Fruit
Fiddles
Folks
Fields
Flowers
Films
Finances
Friday
Fireworks
Fix
Flag
Flakes
Flapjacks
Flavor
Flesh
Flirt
Float
Flow
Feet
Foreigner
Fowl
Fragile
Fresh
Fried
Frisky
Fuel
Funny
Fur
Furniture
Future
Father

These are all great words, but I'm not going to define them for you. That is something you have to do for yourself. Each word in any language evokes feelings and meaning that is different for each person.

Maybe you have another letter that you are fond of. Do the same thing for that letter, but the key is finding what is best in life for you. Focus on those feelings and allow yourself to love what they are. Heck, you might even make your own words to fit the pattern.

Gay Marriage?

Wow, that is a tough one. What does that mean? What exactly is marriage is the first thing to answer before seeing if you for or against gay marriage.

This is from the Merriam-Webster web site:

Main Entry:mar·riage

Pronunciation:\ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\

Function:noun

Etymology:Middle English mariage, from Anglo-French, from marier to marry

Date:14th century

1 a (1): the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2): the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage marriage> b: the mutual relation of married persons : wedlock c: the institution whereby individuals are joined in a marriage2: an act of marrying or the rite by which the married status is effected; especially : the wedding ceremony and attendant festivities or formalities3: an intimate or close union marriage of painting and poetry — J. T. Shawcross>

So according to this definition marriage is between two sexes. I guess then that precludes the idea of a gay marriage. I remember the first time I saw a marriage announcement in the newspaper that showed two women. It weirded me out, I will admit it.

Then, being a Christian, I know that it is said in the Book that being Gay is an abomination. I know people that will judge, shun and hurt people based upon their orientation. I understand where these people are coming from, but I cannot help but think that God doesn't want us to hurt each other. I know he told us not to judge anyone.

So I guess the easiest way to say it is that all humans are children of God. Gays, Democrats, Republicans, Nazis, straights, Muslims, Hindus, etc. As children of God, even if they don't see it or want to be, means that it is not our job to judge them as humans. Don't you think it is hard enough to be a human being in this world without suffering from the hate of others.

I may be a Christian and have just gotten finished talking about not judging others, but I have judged Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an idiot. Contrary to the President of Iran being gay is not a crime, and it sure does not call for a death penalty.

Some of you might say, but what about people that abuse children of the same sex? That is not what I'm talking about. Anyone that abuses a child should burn in a special level of Hell. In fact, I am against Capital Punishment, with the possible exception being for those that pray on children. Then again putting them in general prison population will give them a taste of their own medicine, and without possibility of parole. But, back to the subject at hand.

To me then if two people want a document and a ceremony to bind their relationship together then I'm all for it. I don't see how this hurts anyone or makes the institution of marriage any weaker than it already is. All the straight divorces we have now are doing a good job of weakening the institution.

I'm okay if the majority of the people want to call gay marriage something else. As long as the result is the same, what does it matter what it is called?

altrrr?

What does it mean? These are the initials of the 3 greatest US Presidents of all time.

al= Abraham Lincoln
tr=Teddy Roosevelt
rr=Ronald Reagan

al+tr+rr = altrrr

That is not the complete list of my favorite Presidents, but is the top 3. I also include George Washington, FDR, and John Kennedy in the top 6. All for different reasons.

On another site I had a guy ask me if I ranked Ronald Reagan as a better President than the others I listed. I did and do have a top 3, but of the ones I have listed they were all important because of who they were and what they did at an important point in American history.

"I don't believe [Reagan] was the greatest, just the right one at the right time for America in the 80's. Just as Washington was the right president for our new nation, as was Lincoln, Teddy, FDR, JFK (if he lived) and RR."

"What would America and the world be like if Washington hadn't turned down the offer to be our new King?
What if Lincoln had not fought hard to keep the nation together and just told the Southerners it was okay to secede?
What is Teddy had not shown us how to become a world power? What if he hadn't fought so hard against the monopolies?
What if FDR hadn't instituted so many social programs during the depression or led us during the greatest war ever fought?
What if JFK hadn't appealed to our 'better angels?'
What if Reagan hadn't been around to get us out of our doldrums and instituted policies to get our economy back on track? What if he hadn't made it okay to be proud to be an American?"

So whenever I have a question of what our leaders today should do I ask myself "what would altrrr do?"
