Got a houseful of nephews/neices/cousins/etc. visiting. Should be able to post the stats in the morning. I may be a bit erratic with them until this time next week though I may be able to do a few things tomorrow to help with that too.

Subject: Canadian prediction on Obama Ever wonder why we have to depend on the foreign press to find out what's "really" going on in our own country. It's a good thing that Obama and the democrats don't own the Canadian press. Here is what Howard Galganov predicts for Barack Hussein Obama - PLEASE READ: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barack Hussein Obama: I Told You So – Yes I Did By Howard Galganov Montreal, Quebec, Canada http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Galganov#...ilan/yvesduhaime_1976.jpg When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST Media, Hollywood And Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote: It won't take six months until the People figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they've made. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER. The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked [hard] to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag. Here are two things they will NEVER do: They will NEVER admit to making a Blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no Positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they've imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country. In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the Consequences thereof. In just six months, the Messiah's polls are showing the following: 1. On Healthcare Reform - He's going under for the third time with polling well Under 50 percent, even within his own Party. Even though he might be able to Muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his Fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse. 2. On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax) - The Fat-Lady is already singing. 3. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL. 4. On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush - It's all but Good-Night Irene. 5. On the closing of GITMO and "HIS" war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism - He's standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under. 6. On a Comparison between himself and George W. Bush at the same six months into Their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls. 7. On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th. 8. On a Poll just Conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It's a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin - Obama's ONLY ahead by 8 Points and she hasn't even begun to campaign. It seems to me that Obama Wants to be everywhere where he shouldn't be. He's personally invested in 'totally insulting' America 's ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally ( Israel ) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers. He's traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected. He went to the Muslim world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the "plight" of the Palestinians to the Holocaust. The Russians think he's a putz, The French think he's rude. The Germans want him to stop spending. The Indians want him to mix his nose out of their environmental business. The North Koreans think he's a joke, The Iranians won't acknowledge his calls. And the British can't even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him. As for the Chinese, he's too frightened to even glance their way. [After All, China now owns a large portion of the United States.] Maybe if America's first Emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday or stop running to "papered" Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation. In all fairness, it wasn't HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama's presidency, even in its first six months, so I'm going to make yet another prediction: OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way. (that would be a CHANGE I could really HOPE for!) He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out. Who knows, maybe he really isn't a BORN US Citizen and that's a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him. [He is a citizen, but not a naturalized citizen with both mother and father being US citizens.] Or - MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT. I don't believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast. As Rush Limbaugh said, the county will survive Obama. It probably won't survive the people that voted for him, though.

About two weeks ago, I started flying an Arizona flag under the United States flag. Since I live in California, it's been noticed.
----------------------------------------Today, I was working in my front yard and four people stopped and told me of their appreciation. They too, are going to start flying the Arizona flag. It's nice to see people waking up.

Time to say Good Morning before I am back to bed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good morning--you are one of the great ones along with Dave A.Two people i have not met along with some others that i feel a very great friendship and i have a love for you all--Gerald I prefer to be one of the bad ones - to quote Russian novelist Mikhail Bulgakov, to be "part of the power that forever wills evil and forever does good." I prefer Leo Tolstoy a real hero--- * Born: 9 September 1828 * Birthplace: Yasnaya Polyana, Tula Province, Russia * Died: 20 November 1910 * Best Known As: Author of War and Peace Considered one of the world's greatest novelists, Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy is famous especially for the 19th century classics War and Peace (1865-69) and Anna Karenina (1877-78). Although he was born into nobility, Tolstoy spent much of his life as a champion of Russia's peasant class, notably in the field of education. He began his literary career in the 1850s, publishing a trilogy about his own life: Childhood (Detstvo, 1852), Boyhood ( Otrochestvo, 1854) and Youth (Yunost', 1857). Tolstoy served in the Russian army during the Crimean War, and his book Sevastopol Sketches (Sevastopol'skie Rasskazy, 1855-56) was well-received in literary circles and praised for its realistic depiction of war. After travelling throughout Europe, Tolstoy returned to the family estate and devoted himself to raising a family and writing his great psychological novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. From the 1880s until his death, he devoted himself to more spiritual and philosophical matters, writing several essays on ethics and morals and coming to terms with his own Christian conversion (described in 1879's Confessions). His other works include the novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1884) and the novel Resurrection (1899-1900). In 1910, at the age of 82, Tolstoy left his home with his youngest daughter, Alexandra, and hopped a train for an unspecified destination. He fell ill along the way and ended up dying a few days later at a railroad stationmaster's house in Astapovo. You should check out Tolstoy's "The Gospel in Brief," his retelling of the story of Jesus Christ. Tolstoi was actually a Christian Humanist, to be precise, as he rejected a great deal of traditional Christian dogma. In "The Kingdom of God is Within You," he seeks to separate the true message of Christ (as proclaimed during the Sermon on the Mount) from institutional Christianity, which he saw as deeply flawed. No i think if he were here when this country was founded he would have fit in with Jefferson and Adams--dont try to make something good the opposite---When he passed the govt was afraid to tell the people for fear of revolt !! Tolstoy would have loved Jefferson. They are both deists (Jefferson is blunt about this). They both rewrote the Bible removing all the mythology. Also, remember that Tolstoy, like Jefferson, owned slaves (in Russia, the policy was called "serfdom"). PS: Let's keep the political stuff out of this forum. |

How fortuitous, the NYT has an article today mentioning Adams and Jefferson, and specifically mentioning Jefferson's rewrite of the Bible. 'Writing to John Adams in 1813, having taken his razor blade to the books of the New Testament and removed all “the artificial vestments in which they have been muffled by priests,” Thomas Jefferson said the 46-page residue contained “the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man.”' Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/11/books/review/Hitchens-t.html |
