DON’T LET THE POLLS FOOL YOU. The “obamites” want us to think that it is all over. But, don’t be fooled by the polls. There are hundreds of polls and many are just a farce. In addition, the media is in the tank for Obama. They are all salivating and looking to the time when they can write about the “second black president”. The media is calling the game already, as I speak. If you listen to all that, you might as well just stay at home on Election Day. Well some of you have already voted so you won’t have the lines to fight. I am convinced that nothing positive, with respect to Governor Sarah & Senator McCain is being shown by the left- wing media. But, if you will, still continue to search for the truth. And by all means, do not let the left silence us. They do not want to hear the truth. The left wants us to think that the messiah will save us from poverty and that he will pay off our mortgage, and our gas bills at the pump. And the poor deluded souls think that, “Uncle Barrack” will even put a new suit of clothes on our back. But, I say, do not be fooled by the poles. This is the most important election in our history. It is a question of right or wrong. What do the people know about barrack? He used to call himself, (Barry) He is a college graduate. Where are those who knew him when he was a student? Where are his teachers, who might tell us what kind of person he was? Where are his “homies” who he smoked a joint with and split a six pack? Did he ever have a girl- friend before Michelle? Is there no girl out there to tell us about Barrack? Did he ever write a thesis to get an advanced degree? Where is it? What does it say? WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS. HE IS AN ENIGMA. And yet, he may be about to be the most powerful man in the world. Is that not frightening? And yet, people do not want to hear any of this. How about Reverend Wright? And William Ayers, who is a known unrepentant terrorist, and a string of unsavory characters in his recent past? (20+ years) Barry could not even get a Security Clearance. His past would prevent him from being a law enforcement officer. And yet, he may be about to be the President? The Commander in Chief? The top law officer in the USA? And who cares? People do not want to hear any of these truths, and others that are out there? All that I am saying here today has been known for years. However, the media has covered it up. But, who cares? You may say, “Oh that is just “old dad” raving about politics again. He is a “has been”. But, my children, I am telling you the truth. Google it all if you do not believe what I say. THERE IS STILL TIME. DO NOT LET THE POLLS FOOL YOU. Do not be afraid to speak out. Question those who are about to put us into the most terrible situation we have ever had in our nation’s history. Ask them, what will Barry do as President? They do not know! The citizens on the left are like little children, believing in the tooth fairy. What has Barrack ever done to qualify him for President? But, if you want to know the answers to so many questions that the other channels do not ask, watch FOX and get the real story. So, what if we loose this election and that is just, IF, let’s go down in flames. Let’s be able to tell our children and our grandchildren that we fought to the very last. Remember, every battle is undecided until the enemy is defeated and the winner stands in a narrow space. DO NOT LET THE POLLS FOOL YOU! Vote till it hurts. Some say, it does not matter who is president. That is a terribly stupid remark. Some say, the United States will survive. That remark is frighteningly fool hearty. These are terribly difficult times. This is not a time for an inexperienced community organizer. (What is that anyway?) The world is a very dangerous place. There cannot be any mistakes, these days. Failure is not an option. The Presidency is no place for, ON THE JOB TRAINING. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
Happy late birthday grandpa! Wish we were there to help celebrate! I love you!!
Thank you my dearest Lauren. Your love means so much to me. Come to see me when you have a moment. If you call the day before, we will feed you. Love, always, your Grandpa & Buddy (his birthday also)
Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!

I have the love of my wonderful Wife and my beautiful Children and everyone of my dearest Grandchildren. Can life be better? Can each day bring more happiness? God is in His Heaven and all is well. I AM.HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
FAMOUS LAST WORDS= IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE. Who ever thought that some unqualified junior senator may be about to beat a national hero, who served his country honorably as a Naval Officer, who sat in a prisoner cell for five years, in the Hanoi Hilton, who is an experienced US Senator, who is not perfect by any means, but he is a Hyperion compared to a Satyr when you compare McCain to the boy. (That is Hamlet, if you have read Shakespeare). You are probably too young to remember Bob Dole who is also a national hero. But the impeached, Oral Office lover beat him in the race for President. Remember? Yes, I used to have great faith in the American People. But now, now, I am almost ill to think of the boy being the next president. He will never be my president. You might be interested to know that a group of doctors have posited that there is a special group who are mesmerized by the likes of the boy. His repetition of a mantra causes the “highly educated” (I am almost a member of that group) and the young, are lulled into a dream like stance by repetition. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. HOPE HOPE HOPE. La La La La. Who would have thought it? It can’t happen here? Puke, I am about to be physically ill. All we can do now is let the election up to white men.
Obama's startling view of Flag, Anthem 3him (itor, I'm uny; Kurt Ashters or resiluntY. Could provide this hecansway and lies, he din County ld I will en). If anyone I welcome To the Editor: On NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Sept.7, 2008 at 11:48:04 EST, Gen. Bill Ginn, USAF (ReO, asked Barack Obama why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The general also stated to the senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, that during rendition of the National Anthem when the American Flag is displayed, all present, except those in uniform, are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, "Stand and face it." Dale Lindsborg of The Washington Post reported that on that Sunday morning last September, Obama stated: . 'Lls I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides. There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the Anthem itself conveys a war-like message: You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It $hould be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song, 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our Anthem, then I might salute it. "We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It is my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East brethren. If we as a nation of warring people should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails, perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. "When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a nation have placed upon the nations .of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together, she.and I have attended several flag-burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine. "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring change to this nation, and offer the people a path of new hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our country's First Family. Indeed, change is about to overwhelm the United States of Ameria." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President. I, for one, am speechless.

I hear you, Sarah. Love ya, GP
OBAMA, everywhere I look. All my liberal friends have their sign out on their lawn. I knew them all. I can spot a liberal from a mile away. However, I still speak to them all for I am so politically correct that I squeak. I can get along with “almost anyone”. But the “obamites” are a special group of idiots and they all look alike and speak alike. They all drive foreign cars and wear Crocks to work. Unfortunately, the election looks like it is already decided. The liberal media, you know ABC, CBS, and NBC and by all means, the ultra liberal NPR, yes, all of them are in the nice black boy’s pocket. They have all written off McCain. Sarah has been trashed by the liberal media so much that women, who are mostly liberal, despise her. So, will we wake up the morning after the election to find the second black president getting cheers from the left? You know, clinton was the first black president, don’t you? Well, I am resigned to the terribly unbelievable thought of the boy as our president. BUT….he will never, never, be mine. Just as klinton was never my president. Although the outcome seems locked in, I will still vote for McCain, because he is our only hope to avoid disaster for the next 8 years. Then I will be able to say,I DID THE RIGHT THING. Anyway, I am a short- timer and so I can stand anything for as long as I live. Those of you who vote for the boy, I pity you, for you will reap the whirlwind. Have fun in the next few days. Even biden expects to have the boy be tested by a national crisis. And then, there is the economy, STUPID! And, oh yes, biden went on to say, what ever the boy does will not “seem right”. But it does not matter, does it?
Hey grandpa. I got your email, I will reply soon so I can actually sit down and write back. I love you!
I will write you tomorrow. I wish I could tex like you can. But I will do my best because I value our communication. I love you so much, your Grandpa
Hey Grandpa! You have to start e-mailing me again, grandma too. I've been really busy with work and trying to keep my grades up. Chemistry is getting me! The weather here is gross today, so I hope you guys have sunny skies. I love you!
I like this. We can meet on Actnuts. Too bad the woman had to lie. I saw it on TV and so you can say that even when you see it, you may not qalways believe it. But, you can bet on this. I love you and that is no lie and it will never fade away. I will love you for the rest of my life and then for as long as you live. Write to me on Actnuts and I will always see it and answer. Your Grandpa
Grandpa it was all a lie! What a loser! She made it all up, I was getting online to show mom the article and picture, and BOOM! headline was that it was all a lie.
Yes Sarah, I saw her. Terrible! What is this world coming to? I sure did miss you over the weekend. Seems like ages since we were together. How is the job coming? How is school? It just gets harder. But it is what you need to prepare for your future. As you can see, working is not easy. You are getting skills in dealing with the public that you cannot get in school. Most people could not do what you are doing. I am one of them. Amber was here to visit with us today and she is so funny. Great sence of humor. That is a skill that most people yet have to learn. Keep smiling my dearest Sarah, I am so proud of you. I will love you always and forever, your Grandpa
Grandpa, Did you see on fox news that a young women was mugged and beaten and the man cut a "B" on her face, all because she had a McCain sticker on her car? People in this world are crazy!
Grandpa, Did you see on fox news that a young women was mugged and beaten and the man cut a "B" on her face, all because she had a McCain sticker on her car? People in this world are crazy!
ON MY LAST DAY HERE ON EARTH, I shall be planning my next day and looking forward to the change of seasons. I will read another chapter in the good book I am reading. I will be on the computer, writing about some new adventure I had the day before. I may even be getting my bike ready for the following day’s ride. And, I will remember all the good times I had with my family and my little Bea. CARPE DIEM!
KEEP YOUR GUNS AND KEEP THEM CLOSE AND KEEP THEM HIDDEN. If the ‘nice black boy’ (jimmy carter) wins on Election Day, we had better keep our guns close and keep them hidden. Remember, the government knows we are armed and the Second Amendment is in great danger, if liberals and democrats are roaming the land. Gun control is not far off. Didn’t know that? Well, check out the NRA site and see what the left has in store for us. The Second Amendment is in jeopardy. Ever heard of the Brady Bill?
I AM ANTI- WAR. Yes I am! I have been anti- war ever since I was shot at the first time in Panama. There are few who have ever been shot at who has not become anti- war. But, that separates me from all the REMF’s and liberals and left- wing idiots who have never been shot at. War is terrible. It is the most frightening experience one can ever have. War is often senseless. War kills innocent civilians as well as those who are guilty. War kills little children and old people. War destroys priceless art and worthless trash. But war, for want of another word, is often good. War often kills those who kill millions of innocent people. War keeps evil nations at dictators at bay. Evil doers fear the possibility of being destroyed. When the most powerful nation is the winner, as it was during WW2, the defeated nations such as Germany, Japan and Italy are a lesson to other nations and other dictators. Only those who have never been shot at, think that war is fun. Yes, I am anti war. But sometimes, war is necessary. When politicians fail, war is often the only other resort. The war against Iraq and Saddam was necessary to free 40 million people, and 20 million of them were women. So, anyone who was or is against the war in Iraq is ignorant.
OBAMA IS A LIAR, OR HE IS IGNORANT! Did you know that? He sat in his church for 20 years and never heard the terrible harangues that his pastor, Jeremiah Wright cried out every Sunday. If Obama didn’t hear, then he is ignorant. Would you or any other intelligent human being continue to hear crap from your pastor every Sunday for 20 years? I think not.
THERE IS STILL TIME. If you have made the wrong decision and someone you dearly love has or about ready to make the wrong decision, there is still time to change your mind. Remember the brain surgery you are about to have in just two more weeks? Well, the gifted young, clean and articulate but inexperienced, doctor who is running for director of the country’s hospitals is just an untried community organizer. Do you still want him to cut into your skull and start working on your brain? Think about it! Why do I want to add my posts to Actnuts? Some day, when the world has rotated a few turns, I want my comments on record. We will all disappear someday, but words last for a long time.
DELETE THIS POST BEFORE READING. My thoughts and my ideas are too conservative for you if you are one of the uninformed. Be careful, my posts may be detrimental to the health of liberals and democrats. Some might even compare me to the far left that are often described as idiots. Hence, I am on the far right and just a millimeter to the right of Attila the Hun. People whisper behind my back…. Isn’t he (me) just a little cracked?
DON’T READ MY POSTS; I don’t want you to read my posts here in Actnuts if you know it all. Have I ever told you a lie? Have I ever clouded the truth? If you think I lie, don’t read my posts. I want to address subjects that are current and important. But if you know it all, DO NOT READ MY POSTS.
There is a definition for just about everything. My definition for one who is uninformed is this. You need brain surgery in two weeks and you have selected your surgeon. This doctor has never performed brain surgery. He has only been a doctor for a few years. But, he has written a book about himself. There’s word that the book was ghost written. He has spent some time trying to selling his book and it has been a real winner. This doctor has spent the rest of his medical profession running for the position of Hospital Director. In the meanwhile, he has traveled from city to city making speeches where he just reads from tale- prompter screens. But he looks so good that he draws great crowds. He promises to be a great hospital director but many have doubts. This doctor is the most liberal doctor in the medical profession and his ideas are whacko in the estimation of known medical professionals. Several years ago, your doctor associated with known criminals, which he vehemently denies. You vaguely know about all this, but you don’t care, because your doctor looks so clean and he is articulate. You can still change your selection, of a doctor to perform your brain surgery; however, it looks like you will go with the doctor who looks so great in a white shirt. That in my estimation is one who is uninformed. What do you think?
Gerald Ensley, (Can you imagine anyone named Gerald?) he is the editor at the democrat, and, he is going to vote for Obama. (Wouldn’t you know it?) Gerald is not interested in what Obama stands for. Gerald is going to vote for Obama, because he, Obama, is “someone that is likable.” Isn’t that just like a liberal? It is idiot’s like Gerald, and others like him, who is willing to wreck the USA, just because. What a moron. It is too bad, but there are so many like Gerald. They are the uninformed. They watch the alphabet channels, or they don’t watch any TV at all, because it makes them sad. Well any one who watches the alphabet channels is not ever going to get informed. They all blast the same moron dribble. So, Gerald, I will not write to you, because no matter what I would tell you would make you smart. You are a hopeless case. Tallahassee does not have a newspaper. As someone once said, if you want to be happy, do not watch TV, do not read the papers, and do not listen to radio. (well, I do not know about radio) Love, Dad
Obama is in Richmond today. I wonder if it will cause a riot in the city. Hm. I miss you guys!
WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? (Rodney King) What a naive and utterly impossible dream! Only a liberal and uninformed person could believe that and it is never going to happen. There has been turmoil and wars and rumors of wars in the world from the beginning of time. There is struggle everywhere; between people, between Blacks and Whites, between animals, dogs and cats are enemies. Between businesses, Toyota v: Ford and GM. Between fathers and sons and mothers and daughters. Kids and parents are often at loggerheads. Nations compete in business and often at war with other nations. Republicans are the enemies of Democrats. Struggle is what makes us survive. Struggle is competition. For want of another word, competition is good. The weak do not survive and the strong do. Rich are the targets of the poor. Tell me where there is not discord. Socrates once said that, “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
Colin Powell endorsed obama. Proves what I always thought, he, the general who got where he is today because of Real Republican Presidents, is just another turncoat. If Obama wins, I know who voted for him and I will never forgive and never never forget. I may not say anything, but in my mind I will hold those who voted for Obama, responsible. I do not have long to live, but in my last years on earth, I will never forget. So, screw those like Powell.
Sarah, I miss you. I love your Mom, and brothers and it is so good to have them all with Grandma and me. Your Mom and little brother's will be home soon. Love always, your Grandpa
I miss my mommyyyyy!!!!!! :( :(
Happy Birthday Nina and I hope that you have many many more. I love you much. Mama
Don’t know what your financial situation is. But I think you are “pretty well off”. Have you heard about the latest cliché? It is “SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND”. That came from Obama and his recent meeting with “Joe the plumber”. I can only guess at what Obama meant, but I bet it is to “take from those who have, and giving it to those who don’t have. Sounds great doesn’t it. That is what Communism was all about. Is that what our country may come to? That sent a chill down my spine. I don’t have a lot, but I sure do not want to give any of it to someone who lays on his ass all day, waiting for his government check.
Happy Birthday Aunt Christy!
Happy Birthday Christy. We love you
Long ago when I sat in my college economics class, my professor told us that when the people found out that they could vote for their leader who would give them money, our form of government was over. So who cares? Easy come, easy go. If you have been listening and watching to the debates, you have heard Obama say that he is going to give the middle class a bonus, if he is elected. So, all you have to do is vote for him and get a check in the mail. You know that 40% of the citizens do not pay any taxes, so the Obama bonus is just a welfare check. Where does that money come from? Why, it comes from the rest of the population. Such a deal! Liberalism is inimical to our form of government and our way of life. What is next? How about an attack on the First and Second Amendment Rights? Think it can’t happen? When I was young, I could carry my rifle down the middle of Market Street in Millersburg, and no one would say a thing. Think I could do it today? Who cares? Most kids have never carried a rifle, let alone own one, so they don’t care if the right to keep and bear arms is taken away from us. Most don’t know what the Bill Of Rights is anyway. Some may be afraid to read my posts. They are unable to hear my words because they are opposite to their way of thinking. They do not hear thoughts like mine in their daily life, and when they do, they become angry and their blood boils and they have the desire to speak in a hostile manner. So, like so much else in their life, they avoid my words. No wonder they are so uninformed. If one always hears what they want to hear, they have no basis for comparison. I love to stir the pot and see the bubbles burst.
I know why the young people are liberal. (That is, democrat). It is because they have no education in what makes this country the greatest in the world and is the last great hope of freedom. The subject of history is not even taught in many high schools. It is also because they do not listen and watch to a wide variety of information. The media does not do their job either. Most of the alphabet channels, (ABC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC AND of course, NPR) are in the bed of the democrats (That is liberalism) Then too, the kids are busy having fun. Well, some of them have to work and they have no time to get educated. Some do, most don’t. So the youth do not know the lessons of the past. They are so tender and they cannot imagine anything, but themselves. Moreover, they have been taught from the time they were babies that someone will take care of them. Waaa, Waaa and mama will come. That tender loving care later comes from government. So, when a golden tongued orator like Obama comes along they hear him clearly. He says, I will take care of you. I love you, if you make me your president I will feed you and pay your bills and make you feel good. Who can resist that message? Ask the college kids, who will they vote for? Obama, of course. Liberalism is a mental illness. Just talk with anyone who is young. They are so innocent. They are so uninformed. They are primed to follow the silly voice of liberalism.
I hear you grandpa!
Thank you my dearest Sarah. I think of you every day and wish I could meet you in Target. How do you like your job? I guess I owe you an email. It has been a long time since I wrote to you. Love always, your Grandpa PS: someone wacked my little Yaris when I was in the Walmart parking lot. It looks terrible and I know everyone is looking at it. I guess the only way to keep your car looking new is to keep it in the garage. Locked up!
Another trillion dollars down the drain today. May God help us! I can't imagine us with a democrat president and a democrat congress. That is a formula for disaster. I thought, why do so many young people intend to vote for obama? I have come to the conclusion that they are not educated. They have no experience. They think that history began the day they were born. They think with their heart. Ask them about the lessions of the past. They haven't a clue. Yet, there are some young peeople who are educated. Why? it is because they have been associated with adults who are also educated. No no, not educated does not mean they haven't been to college. You can go to college and not learn a thing. The educators today were hippies (liberals) when they were young. And being associated with liberals, a young person is lost. Where is the Greatest Generation today? Dead or they have alzheimers. Where are the leaders today? Who wants to lead? Just wait till they start questioning me. I can't wait. I wonder who is out there? Does anyone read what I write? Are you out there? If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it? Does anyone care? HEY! Did you hear that?
Congrats Amber!!! Hunter you look great! and grandpa you are the strongest man I know. I love you!! Miss you all.
YOU NEED BRAIN SURGURY! It must be done in a few weeks. It is a new type of surgery that requires medical expertise so extensive that it is critical to your procedure. You research the operation and two noted surgeons are recommended over all others. One is an old experienced surgeon. He has performed many procedures like yours over the years. He has been successful in many different and difficult procedures. The other surgeon is a brilliant young man. However, he has only a few years experience just observing other surgeries. He has never performed a procedure himself. He has written several books and spent the remainder of his medical experience selling his books and lecturing. He is a brilliant lecturer and is very photogenic. Who do you pick to perform your operation? Who does your family recommend?
Dearest Family, You won’t believe it but it is a good thing you are witness to all this. You must know that this is part of life and part of marriage. I probably will be part of your marriage in one way or the other, because, none of us are going to get out of this world alive. I want to thank you all for caring for your Mother during all our problems. I knew you would… but I want to thank you anyway. You are doing your duty. Having you with me in the hospital makes me feel jolly and that aids in my recovery. But, as I grow older, the times I end up in the hospital will continue, and they probably will get more frequent. I will try my best to show you a happy face. But this is a major mile stone that I have passed. Not being able to ride my bike is a major crossroad that makes me realize that I can never go back. I do it not only for my self, but for my dearest wife and for you. Putting everyone through more stress is not wise and I will not do it. But I want you to know that it will not be easy for me. I will do what I must do. So thank you for everything you do and I hope to see you Sunday morning. God willing. Love, your Dad
When I was in college, my Economics professor told us that it was not possible to have another national financial crash in the USA. He said that safeguards had been put into practice to prevent another financial disaster, like the one that precipitated the Financial Crash back in 1929. Now there is talk out there that the financial crisis in the world is so serious that it might end up in another depression. As for me, I think that is not going to happen. But the great economists in the world do not seem to know what to do. The bizarre thing is that the financial crisis might have been averted. Yes, the democrats like Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank, and yes, a few republicans, are greatly responsible for the financial mess we are in. They kept telling us that Fanny May and Freddy Mac were in good condition. They lied to us. But, Republicans warned us that a great financial crisis was coming. Unfortunately, the democrats blocked the regulations that might have stopped the problem in its tracks. Then the housing market went bust and it was like dominoes. Things just started to free fall and it may be still falling. No one knows what will happen on Tuesday when the Market reopens. Keep your fingers crossed. It is shameful that Dodd and Obama were some of those who profited the most from the mess in the Fannies. Frank Raines, who made 90 million dollars from the upward climb in the housing industry, is now giving financial advice to Obama. And there are people who are going to vote for Obama because they do not know (or care) what a worthless piece of skin he is. How stupid they are! The biggest problem in the USA today is IGNORANCE. I do not know if there is a cure for that disease. Do you? You can Google all this information if you wish. Love Your Dad
Hunter, you are my Grandson and I am your Grandpa and we will always be together forever. I am so proud of you. You are great on the field and in the classroom. Love always, your Grandpa
CONGRATS to you Amber. You are a super woman. Wonder who took that pix? it sure is great.
It is the middle of the month and there is no featured picture of the month yet. Guess the webmaster is busy making the selection.. How about Amber as the big feature?
Congraduations Amber. You are a go getter for sure. Did you get the bike that you needed? I miss seeing you and talking to you so maybe soon you will fine a couple of hours to do so. I love you. Grandma
Barbra and Conor are coming. Oh Happy Day! See, something good comes from something bad. I can't wait. Love, your Dad
There is a national financial crisis! The Market is tanking every day. Down 700 points!! Some people have lost everything. If they retired today, they would have nothing. The Auto industry is talking about bankruptcy. Everyone is pointing fingers at someone else. HE DID IT, SHE DID IT, THEY DID IT! The Government, (That is spelled, WE) is buying up banks that have gone belly up. The Government is in the housing business and buying mortgages from those who can’t pay for their homes. Our President is addressing the Nation. BE CALM, DON’T PANIC, WE KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND IT JUST TAKES TIME. Time??? SHIT!! When will people be jumping out of the windows on Wall Street? It is SOCIALISM… Soon, BIG BROTHER WILL OWN US! People are frightened. The news is frightening. It is a world financial crisis. Countries are going bankrupt. They blame the USA for their problems. People are wondering, what is going to happen to them? Everyday, The Media is sounding the drum- beat and it is stirring up the masses. What is going on? Has every thing gone bottom up? Everything that should be down, is up. Everything that should be up, is down. A nut case is promising the people, HOPE, and he is getting close to becoming President. Half of the people think he is the messiah, who will save us all. The other nut case is too damn nice to be President. If he can’t beat Buckwheat, he should not be President, anyway. If he thinks this election is a Sunday school picnic, he is mistaken. Politics is war. We can’t just all get along. What is wrong with us? But it is Saturday morning and the autumn is in the air, so, Buddy and I will take our walk and turn to WGWD and listen to Country Music. Have a nice Day folks. I love you, Your Dad
Why is there a national financial crisis? Well it is really a worldwide financial crisis. Because it is a worldwide economy, and the world is tied to the financial condition of the United States. But back to my story. Why are we (royal WE) in financial trouble? There are so many reasons that I could not list them all. But in a word, the problem is liberalism. How could that be? It is because liberals CARE…and want to give people something for nothing. Let me say, you go to Public’s for a steak and you tell the cashier you do not have any money but you want the steak anyway because, it is your right to eat! Just try that one. The liberals want people who do not qualify for a home, to still have one. But someone still has to pay when the poor get a “freebee”. We, the people of the United States, have to pay for it when the poor get something for nothing. Is there anything in our Constitution that gives the poor the right to a free home? Hell no! So, I am mad as hell, and I am not going to stand for it!!!!
We have a car and a home, and so do you. We qualified for these things, just as most people have to do. But there are people who have not qualified for these things. Yet, they still have them. No matter how these people have them, no doubt, we are paying for them. Now, when there is a national financial crisis, many of these people, (we call them, The Poor”) who do not qualify for a house or car, or perhaps even a TV and all sorts of other goodies, are loosing them. Do the poor have a right to a home? Or a car? or whatever? NO! of course not. There is nothing in the US Constitution of the United States which tells us, that we have a, right to a house or a car or health insurance. So, it is not fair! however, life is not fair! Don’t we say, life is not fair, in fact, it sucks…. and then you die? So, if the poor want a house or a car, or health care insurance, let them find a way to pay for them. OR DO WITHOUT! But, do not come to me for the money to bail you out. As, Jesus once said, “The poor we have with us, always.”
OMG What is the matter? What is next? (Don't ask)
What else is there? Life goes on. I can go to bed tonight knowing that all is well and GOD is is in HIS Heaven and we are in the world, twirling round the sun at 1800,000 + MPH And he leaned across to the youth and whispered, "One must wonder, how did he ever make plans for his unit?"
I know exactly what is going on. Tomorrow the sun will rise. Then it will set. During the next day thousands of people will die and thousands will be born to replace them. Our bodies will replace billions of cells in our bodies. That's about it. Different day. Same old shit!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHERE WE ARE GOING?
IT IS A RECESSION WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOR LOOSES HIS JOB. BUT IF YOU LOOSE YOUR JOB, IT IS A DEPRESSION
Have courage...all this will pass. (if you can live that long) I have been through the Great Depression, and I survived.
“You are not fit to be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Yes, and say that with meaning, and look at Obama in the eyes when you say it. Oh yeah? Some say that we Americans don’t like that kind of language. It is soooo insulting! Bah Bah Bahhhh Wrong! Americans love to see a dog fight. Tonight, McCain needs to take off the gloves and call a spade a spade. John needs to tell barrack that anyone who hangs out with a terrorist does not deserve to be President of the United States or COMMANDER IN CHIEF. John needs to stop being a “nice guy”, because nice guys, loose. Some would say, “Why can’t we all just get along?” As Rodney King, once said. Well, politics is a blood sport and if you don’t win, you loose. The debate tonight is so important to our success in the Presidential election, that losing is not an option. And so, John must take off the gloves tonight, and hit barrack with everything he has got. The world is watching tonight and John must not use the tactics of a weakling. There is so much that is wrong with barrack and John needs to use every one of them. Hit him hard! Election of Obama would be the biggest disaster this Nation has ever had. JRB

Love you guys!!
Dearest Family, a few days ago, Mama and I were at the Diabetes Clinic waiting for my appointment. I had just filled out a whole stack of papers which compiled the record of my health problems and especially my commitment to getting my diabetes under control. I was feeling sorry for my self, since I have gone through all this many years before. I knew what commitment to ones health means, and it means a complete change of life. It is like being an alcoholic, or a doper, or anyone who has an addition; and then deciding they had hit the bottom and needed to get a hold on their life, and lick the addiction. Needless to say, I have gone through all this several times before, and failed. And so I know that it takes 100% commitment 24/7 if it is to succeed. It means checking my glucose before and after every meal, and “shooting –up” with insulin when my sugars are high. Let me say that it is a total pain in the ass. But I know now that it has to be done. And so, I will do it. After a while it will become routine, and I will quit bitching about it. But for now, I was feeling low. You know what it takes when there is something you really must do? It is so easy to forget about it, and put it off till tomorrow. Well I knew all that and I was sitting there in the diabetic waiting room feeling sorry for my self. The waiting room was filled with people, most were fat and I knew they would be in big trouble, and probably they would never make the grade. But I was determined not to be one of them. Then the door opened and in came a man on an electric wheel chair. After a while, I greeted this man and soon we were involved in a conversation about his chair. You can’t imagine all of the things he could do to control the chair with a little toggle stick on the right armrest. He seemed to be glad to talk with me and I was amazed at how he appeared to be in such great spirits, considering his condition. I asked him if he could do a “wheelie” on his chair and he said no, but he would do a “neutral steer”. Soon he was going round and round in the waiting room and he acted like a cowboy. I was so impressed with him and soon I forgot how low I had been. And so, we went on talking, until my name was called. And off Mama and I went with Katie my interviewer. Katie was great and her pitch on diabetes was interesting and very informative and I felt that I could do all that she asked me to do to get my diabetes under control. After my interview, Mama and I went out into the waiting room and there was the man in the electric wheel chair. I spoke with him again as we went out to the parking lot. Once more, I was so impressed with his spirits that I told him so. Here I had been feeling low, and there he was, in great spirits. If anyone should have been feeling dispirited, he should have. I continued to joke with my new friend until his wife brought his handicapped van and he was automatically elevated up into the van. During our conversation, the subject of the Presidential Election and the national financial disaster had come up, and I said I wasn’t worrying about any of it, because I was a “short timer” since I was going to be 78 on the 30th of October. Then my new friend had said that age was just a number and that he would never be a “short timer” because he was going to live forever. WOW! I had been so surprised at how happy he was, and I felt ashamed that I had felt low, when this person with MS, wanted to live forever. I told him that he made me feel happy that there was someone who also loved life. As they drove away, I promised myself that I would get with it and be happy and glad that I was alive and able to still walk and talk and do all that I can do. LIFE IS GREAT! Love, your Dad
The largest takeover of the American house market has just taken place. Are you scarred? are you worried? not to fear. The dummyrats are in control. Is your mortgage in Freddy Mac/Fanny May? 70% of all mortgages are in those coorked installations. May GOD save us! We all got screwed today, but no surprise and no fun. What is next? president obama? I hope he paints the white house, black. I am glad you and your kids will have to pay for all of this. As for me, I am a short timer! Love, your Dad
