  • It’s great to be a Conservative in America today!

    Many Conservatives would state their political preferences in the acronym, ABC …………which means Anyone But Clinton.

    I am one of that group.

    However, even if you are not, the Republicans have certainly given Americans a wide variety of candidates to choose form.  I liked them all and believed any one of them was better than Hillary.

    I still do.

    And, yet, eventually, we will have to have to choose either Trump, Cruz or Kasich.  What a wonderful quandary the Republicans  present to the American voter!   It is difficult to pick just one candidate and this is the first time ever that my husband prefers a different candidate, Trump,  than I do.  I prefer Cruz.  But, we both are satisfied with any of the three Republicans.

    No matter who ends up with the Republican nomination, we need to unite around whoever wins that nomination.   It should be an easy choice to vote Republican because the Democrats have only the Old Maid and the Old Has Been.

    So vote.  Vote Republican.  Put either Cruz, Trump or Kasich in the White House .  It WILL be a great day for America.

     

     

     

     

  • Netanyahu and Obama

    Netanyahu and Obama

    Both are heads of state.

    Both are used to speaking publicly.

    Both will, or have, given speeches in our House of Representatives this year.

    And, there, they diverge.

    President Obama gave a political speech, his SOTU,  to try to placate his leftist allies; and, while he was at it, insulted Conservatives once again, AND promised to spend more money for a variety of “worthy” causes.  There were no explanations of how to pay for all his generosity with OUR tax dollars.

    Netanyahu will speak to the same Congress.  He will describe Israel’s place in an unfriendly world and how he hopes to protect his fellow citizens.  He will probably thank America for its past help.  He will explain how he sees Israel’s relationship with America and how he hopes to remain our best ally in the middle East.

    Having an ally as a guest is good for America.  But, the White House’s “anonymous” sources say that President Obama is furious that Netanyahu did not say “Captain (Obama), may I come?” before the media heard of the upcoming speech.

    The White House churlishly refuses to even meet with Netenyahu while he is here justifying that by saying that it is a “spit in the face” to not ask their permission.  Do they remember spitting in Netanyahu’s face when they unceremoniously ushered him out the back door of the White House on a previous visit?  Whose House is the House of Representatives anyway?  Why, it is OUR House.  And, if the Speaker of the House invites a guest to speak, that is his right.  Whether it is a head of state, or not, is immaterial.  And, no matter what Obama says, his nose is out of joint because he expected Boehner and Netanyahu to kow tow to him, NOT make their own decisions!  Obama is, to put it colloquially, acting like a JERK!

    We should have seen this coming because Obama has never been a uniter.  He continually sets one economic class against another in his bid to get his own way on entitlement programs.  He said he would make all of us feel “American”.  Instead, he has played the race card over and over, dividing Americans into black and white — quite often before the facts prove there was no racial animus involved.  He repeatedly uses divisive, insulting  language against Conservatives or Conservative thoughts;  and then, whines that the Republicans aren’t willing to work with him.  He has even divided the world into two armed camps by reinforcing the demands of the Arab world, always at the expense of Israel.

    So, let this Grandmother give President Obama a lesson in manners.  First, always make sure your words are tender because you might have to eat them some day. Always be the “better man” and welcome everyone, including those whom you disagree with.  And, always remember that you are NOT a monarch.  YOU are the President of the United States and should act as a Head of State, NOT a whining, spoiled brat.  You have bowed and scraped to almost every world leader you ever met which embarrassed Americans immensely.  Why not swallow your pride and, at least, make an effort to be a gracious host to one of our best allies in the world?

    Remember, Mr. Obama.  You represent America, NOT a political faction.  And,  it serves America better to keep allies close and friendly than to openly create yet another divide between friends.

    If you forget everything else, please remember this.  There are many countries and peoples who hate America and want to destroy her.  Netanyahu, and Israel, do not.  They are friends.

     

     

     

     

  • Biden, Fareed Zakaria, Burke…………………

    What do these people all have in common?

    THEY ARE PLAGIARISTS!

    AND, NONE OF THE LIEBERALS IN THE LIEBERAL MEDIA SEEM TO CARE.  IN FACT, THE MEDIA HAS MADE, AND IS MAKING, EXCUSES FOR THEM.    WHY, WHY, WHY?

    BECAUSE:  We expect so little of our politicians that we no longer care if they lie, cheat, and steal to get into office.

    BECAUSE:  The Lieberal media are desperate to keep their philosophical twins in office.

    BECAUSE:  Special Interest groups continue to drive the country’s direction.

    BIDEN, ZAKARIA, BURKE………………ALL CUT FROM THE SAME, DIRTY CLOTH.

     

  • Governor Walker

     

    Before Governor Walker was elected….and, re-elected in a recall fiasco…….the former governor,  together with his crony, the woman who would be Governor,  lost over 130,000 jobs and created a state where unemployment was way out there at over 9%.  And, oh yes, we had a budget deficit of over $3  billion.   But, hey, who remembers that?

    Well, I do.  I also remember that our “balanced budget”  was partially from taking moneys from a private fund that the doctors had themselves created — and funded — to help pay for cases where the malpractice insurance was NOT sufficient.  Many of these problems were not obvious;  but,  our state was ailing and in  a dangerous “state”.

    Then, Wisconsin came to her senses and elected Scott Walker who had a fiscal plan to bring our state out of its malaise.  It wasn’t easy.  The teachers unions protested violently, invaded and occupied our statehouse, and acted like unfettered mobs.  Several Democrat lawmakers ran away to another state in an attempt to prevent a vote that would make certain union pension plans and other agreements more in line with what  the rest of Wisconsin employees were paid.

    Fortunately, the shenanigans of the teacher unions and Democrats didn’t stop Wisconsin’s progress back to a more democratic environment.  Thanks to the hard work of Governor Walker, Wisconsin is now in great shape.  The unemployment rate is way down, to about 6 %.  We have a budget surplus…..yes, a surplus!  And, Wisconsin taxpayers are even enjoying a cut in their taxes !

    Most Wisconsinites are happy with the way Wisconsin is recovering from the unwise and fiscally irresponsible previous administration.  More people are able to find jobs.  More businesses are happy to settle in Wisconsin.  And,  people, in general, are feeling more secure knowing that the state’s economy is moving into a better and better condition.

    And, if our Wisconsin and  our economy are doing so well, why would anyone want to change a successful administration?

    Should we move back to when our state was in economic trouble?  No.  After all, our state motto is “Forward”.

    Let’s keep moving Forward.  And, the only way to do that is to re-elect Governor Walker.

    So, please.  Help Wisconsin.  Help yourselves.  And, vote for Governor Walker.  Keep Wisconsin moving Forward.

  • Senator Harry Reid is a COWARD!

    And, an impediment to solving our country’s problems.

    Why?

    Well, Senator Reid consistently labels his opponents as racists, rather than carefully considering alternative ideas on problems America faces.

    Example:  black Conservatives are “Uncle Toms”, and ignorant of their “duty” to support any Lieberal, black cause.  Even Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas does not meet Harry Reid’s standards for what Reid assumes a black man should think, say or do.

    Senator Reid consistently impedes any votes on the over 300 bills passed by the House, NOT because the bills are faulty or unworkable.  No, he refuses to bring them to a vote BECAUSE it is politically expedient.

    Example/s:  Multiple House bills are thrown in the junk heap BEFORE a vote is taken and then, Harry rails at the House as a “do nothing”  Congress.

    Senator Reid is a COWARD BECAUSE HE INSULTS HIS OPPOSITION FROM THE SENATE FLOOR WHERE HE IS LEGALLY SAFE FROM CHARGES OF LIBEL!

    Example:  The latest is his claiming that former Vice President Cheney is RESPONSIBLE for all the troubles in the Mid-East. ……FROM THE SENATE FLOOR!

    Senator Harry Reid — a prime example of a COWARD.

    Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s re-emergence in Washington this week to talk about fighting terrorists in Iraq must have seemed like a bad nightmare for President Obama, who is trying to make a case to skittish voters that the U.S. can expand its military action in the Middle East without repeating the mistakes of his predecessor’s war on terror.

    For Mr. Obama and his allies on Capitol Hill, the specter of Mr. Cheney and his boss, President George W. Bush, continues to hang over them as they try to grapple with the ascendent insurgents of the Islamic State, also known by the acronyms ISIS and ISIL.

    …….

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid went further, delivering a stinging rebuke of Mr. Cheney on the Senate floor, and seeking to reinforce the point that Mr. Obama won’t fall into the same traps.

    “Dick Cheney is more responsible than anyone else for the worst foreign policy decision in the history of the country: the invasion of Iraq,” said Mr. Reid. The Nevada Democrat had voted for the 2002 resolution authorizing the war in Iraq, but has said it was a mistake in hindsight and challenged colleagues Wednesday to “do it the right way this time.”

    WHAT A COWARD!    Come on, Harry.  You’re so proud of your boxing career.  Let’s see you come out from behind the safety of the Senate floor and SAY THAT TO VP CHENEY’S FACE!

  • Obama….just doesn’t “get it” !

    Most Americans were horrified to hear that an American journalist had been beheaded by ISIS.

    Obama?  Well, he said he was horrified.  And, then, headed to the golf course.

    Most Americans prayed,  worried that ISIS would perpetrate more horrors on innocent civilians.  And, ISIS did.  It beheaded ANOTHER innocent civilian, another journalist.

    Obama?  Well, he went on vacation and golfed some more.

    Most Americans were horrified  that our President said he was horrified and yet, could golf immediately after learning of the tragedy.  Most of us were bowed down in pain, praying for an end to terrorism.

    And, now, President Obama acknowledges that he should have known that it didn’t “look good” to golf immediately after appearing in public  to denounce that atrocity.

    But, does Obama understand why it didn’t “look good” ? Does he feel the family’s pain?   Does he accept that his ability to play golf when Americans were crying over another loss of life from a terrorist shows a complete lack of empathy for the rest of us?  NO!  Nothing, not even ISIS beheading an American and laughing about it in a video which was broadcast worldwide,  kept him from golf.

    Obama’s  ONLY REGRET IS THAT IT DIDN’T “APPEAR” GOOD TO GOLF AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE BEHEADING.

    OBAMA…..the President of the American people……our face to the world…….a father and husband……JUST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY WE THINK HE WAS ARROGANT AND UNFEELING TO IGNORE THE DANGER OF TERRORISM………..

    OBAMA………JUST DOESN’T “GET IT”!

    Obama: ‘I Should’ve Anticipated The Optics’ Of Golfing After Foley Beheading

  • Are you better off today?

    “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” is a famous quote from President Reagan.  It remains a valid question whenever we approach another election cycle.

    Well, I don’t know about you, but we are NOT better off than we were 4 years ago and we are much worse off than we were 6 years ago when Obama became President.  Here are just a few of the depressing changes that have happened to us and our family in the last 6 years.

    Our health insurance was cancelled and the new plan is much more expensive and  has a much higher deductible.  We were luckier than some because we decided to pay an even higher premium to allow us to choose doctors and hospitals.  Some Americans are now relegated to specific doctors and hospitals whether they feel comfortable with those medical arrangements or not.  And, despite the vast millions spent by Obama to implement his Obama-scare, millions of Americans do NOT have insurance.  It would have been cheaper to use those millions and just pay for the uninsured because, we paid for the implementation and are STILL paying for the uninsured.

    Our medical privacy is a thing of the past because our medical records are now transmitted via the internet to countless governmental agencies and are always at risk of being hacked and publicized.  Thanks to Obama-scare, medical decisions are made FOR US, and WITHOUT our  agreement or input, by governmental bureaucrats.  Some committee or individual whom we never see nor interact with is deciding when, how much, or IF, we can receive medications and surgeries that we and our doctor believe are appropriate.  At no time in our history has it ever been the purview of a governmental bureaucrat to make life and death, medical  decisions for American citizens….but, now it is.

    Our income taxes have sky-rocketed.  Democrats and Obama continue to parade the lie that the “rich” should pay their fair share.  Statistically speaking, the “rich” pay ALL of their share and almost ALL of someone else’s share!  Plus, that tax money is being spent by politicians on crazy, political ploys like Obama’s Solyndra — now bankrupt — and other projects which promote the politician and not the American citizen.  And, because the taxes take so much of the income from the “rich” — btw, now being “rich” is anything over $100,000 — we are saving as much as we can and NOT spending on items which would create more jobs.

    Our friends and neighbors can’t find employment.  Do YOU know anyone who is unemployed?  Is it YOU?  The result of unemployment is not only stagnation of the economy and, frequently, bankruptcy for the unemployed, but unemployment destroys a person’s self worth.  Unemployment has worsened the social status, financial security, and social structure of countless Americans, especially those who are African Americans.  Unemployment creates a dependent society that scrabbles for every government hand out available because it is far easier to stand in the unemployment benefit line than to look for work.

    Our laws are being systematically bent, warped, and ignored by the very people who swore to uphold them.  The very fabric of law and order is threatened by President Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, because they ignore the laws they don’t like.   Illegal immigration?  Forget deportations and taking illegal immigrants who are criminals to court.  The IRS?  Forget that the IRS was supposed to fairly and judiciously administer the tax laws, CREATED BY CONGRESS, NOT the President, and now has become a  political tool to unfairly suppress Conservative groups and thought.  Equality under the law?  Forget that we are a country that was based on equal opportunity for all and now, thanks to the lieberals, has now degraded to the point that every  thought, word and deed, are run past the Lieberal political correct police.

    Our country is NOT being defended against all enemies, foreign or here.  Russia invades Crimea with impunity.  Syria murders its own with chemical weapons.  Iran develops nuclear weapons.  North Korea’s citizens starve and/or are executed at the whim of their “leader”.  Saudi Arabia is upset with us.  India has decided to allign itself with countries other than the United States.  Radical islamists shoot Americans  and threaten us every day, and we are afraid to “upset them”.    We are weak on defense and thus, more at risk of being attacked than at any time since we became a nation.  We have become a nation that fears and is no longer a nation to fear!

    So, now we have another election cycle upon us.  We have to decide whom to trust with our Life, Liberty and Happiness.  Elections have repercussions and it is up to us to decide whether to continue the decline begun when President Obama took office or if we are willing to elect people who will truly work to create an America that serves everyone.

    So, I ask you.  Are you better off today than you were 6 years ago?

  • Grandchildren are the reward of a long life!

    We are lucky to have 9 beautiful grandchildren.  They come in all ages, sizes, and shapes.  Each and every one of them is beautiful and a bright spot in our lives.

    These grandchildren were born to moms and dads who have loved them since before the day of birth.   We grandparents were just as thrilled to know we had another grandchild in the family who would  bring even more joy to all of us.

    Other babies are not so lucky.  Some of them are scraped out of their mothers’ wombs…..a torture that cannot even be imagined by most of us.  Other babies die from their mothers’ use of drugs or alcohol.  Yet other babies die as a result of assault or accidents.  Sad to say, these babies are treated worse than most people treat their pets!

    Worse yet, is that there is no reason for these babies to suffer because there are throngs of people who would adopt these babies and give them a wonderful, loving home.  For unknown reasons, though, some mothers choose the dark path for themselves and death for their babies.  It is an unreasonable and immoral choice.  Pro choice advocates’ argument for abortions is that the mothers have no choice because they are too poor, too weak, too alone, or just too “something” to bear the burden of raising a child.

    Hogwash!  If killing another is murder, then the killing of an innocent is absolutely murder!  And, the murder is a tortuous one.  Imagine someone taking a razor to your own body.  This is what an abortion is.  Of course, Planned Parenthood ignores this horror and promotes a selfish view citing the “right” of the mother to choose her own life’s course.  Naturally, the baby is not part of this “choice” and thus, must be done away with.  The concept of “choice” does not pertain to the baby, only the mother, if Planned Parenthood is the arbiter.  I have never understood why it is acceptable to kill an infant in its mother’s womb, or as it comes out of its safe haven, when it is a crime to kill the mother…..at ANY TIME OF HER LIFE.

    How tragic that all of these millions of babies who have been murdered could be the joy and delight to an adopted parent or a doting grandparent.  Babies give everyone, especially grandparents, new interests in life and a reason to keep involved in sports, school, and all kinds of projects as they follow their grandchildren.  It is a compliment of the highest order when a grandchild runs into a grandpa or grandma’s arms.  Cuddling these little ones is a happiness beyond anyone’s imagination and I wish that everyone would have the opportunity that we  enjoy.

    So, to all the mothers who are contemplating an abortion,  please consider adoption.  There are other mothers and fathers who yearn to hold a baby of their own.  There are even more grandparents just waiting to have another chance to love a baby and to spoil a grandchild.

    As a Grandma with a lot of experience, I can say that there is no greater joy than holding a grandson or granddaughter or feeling their warm faces against your cheek.  When they look at you and say, “I love you, Grandma” or, “I love you Grandpa”, the circle of love is complete.

    Yes, we love our grandchildren and have been fortunate enough to be part of their lives.  They have made our lives fuller and richer, just for having been born. We, and their parents, have created a world where our grandchildren can grow into responsible, mature and loving adults.  When it is their turn, they can return the love to their own children and grandchildren, enriching everyone around them!  It is the wheel of Life and the coaster ride is well worth the price of admission!

    My husband and I — Grandma and Grandpa — can state with absolute certainty that GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE REWARD OF A LONG LIFE.

  • Who is shutting down the government?

    Once again, thanks to the Media’s yen to promote anything Obamaesque, the true facts of whether the government will shut down or not, whose fault it would be, and why it might shut down, are not being relayed to the American public.

    So, here are a few facts:

    A.     The House bill was adulterated by the Senate and sent back to the House.  The House offered a compromise that:  1–delays the start of Obama-scare for individuals;  2 — fully funds the Military, no matter how negotiations evolve;  does NOT SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT, but offers a continuing resolution.

    B.    The Republican-controlled House has repeatedly sought to work with President Obama and the Senate, but Harry Reid has not only refused to consider anything the House passes, but publicly excoriates anything Conservatives believe.  The House has passed numerous bills and, even before the vote is taken, President Obama and Senator Reid expound on how they will NOT accept anything that the House sends over.

    C.    The Media is trying to misconstrue the facts so that, if the government shuts down, Republicans will be blamed!  In fact, NOT ONE REPUBLICAN has supported shutting down the government.  The ONLY people talking about shutting down the government are President Obama and the Democrats.  Here are just a few of the comments by President Obama, and Democrats to prove that the potential shut down of government will be the fault of the Democrats because Democrats have refused to work with the House.  (Ironically, Obama will talk with the leader of radial islamist Iran, but NOT the United States House of Representatives!)

    D.  Here are paraphrased comments from the Democrats who profess to NOT want a government shut-down;  but, are doing everything in their power to shut down the government so they can blame Republicans:

    1 –I will NOT negotiate with Congress (President Obama).

                             2  — We will NOT accept this bill if the House adds anything! (Schumer)

                                    3 —   The Republicans are using extortion to get their way. (Obama, again.)

    So, who is really trying to shut down the government?  Well, if you refuse to negotiate (Obama and Harry Reid), continually call Conservative names (Schumer and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi), it kind of sounds as though the Democrats are at fault.

    Republicans WANT a budget.

    Republicans WANT a continuing resolution.

    Republicans WANT middle class Americans to have the same benefits as Congress, and the big businesses have been granted through waivers.

    Who is shutting down the government?

    The Democrats and President Obama.  That’s who!

  • So true…

    Saw this on a comment board…

    The Liberal mantra.
