The Importance of Education

on a personal note.....my father . who left Czarist Russia rather hurriedly ,believed that an education was the one asset that could never be stolen from a person, he also believed that no matter how many hours he worked there was always some time , in the day ( or night ) to gain knowledge..Of course , when he was a young man there were only books and periodicals available as sources of news....radio was the medium when he was an old man. Today we have TV,the Internet, magazines, libraries,etc.,etc.,....so in my mind there is absolutely no excuse for being ignorant.Selah..

just a thought.....couldn't this whole Palin wardrobe brouhaha been prevented by shopping at , say , Macy's or Target???




Aha! now all is clear......despite all the information about Sen. Obama that has been aired and published during the past year and a half......I have the REAL information......this is straight from the mouth of a self-proclaimed Conservative Republican...." Obama isn't really even a citizen of the U.S., He was actually born in either Indo-China or Kenya and his birth certificate was, by secret dispensation forged".....egads and little catfish!!......well I guess its true....the Aliens have landed and are living among us!




Again what's in a name ? .....labels don't pay the doctors' bills.....call it " spreading the wealth" , call it " socialism"....hell's bells ,if it means health insurance that we all can afford then what's the damn problem??




A warning to all future candidates of any political party....the general voice of the many who remain "undecided" or of those who refuse to vote is because of nasty smear tactics of the candidates / political parties. Those people are so angry and " turned off" that by not voting they are sending the message ENOUGH!!

The statement from a woman in Indiana that she "wouldn't vote for a Black man " is so stupid as to be beyond reason!! Is it that skin color is more important than logic, ethics and capabilities? Sadly,to feed into that dumb thinking....do not 2 halves make a whole? Obama's maternal background is White....you just can't pick one half to discriminate against.....you ignorant old fool!




All over but the celebrating?.....beware.....remember the voting horrors of 4 ( and 8 ) years ago? ....the RNC has turned dirty politics into an art form.....in some locations shorter voting hours, not enough polling places, faulty voting machines....and the list goes on. This country needs a universal standard for voting rules and regulations / mechanisms.

The Undecideds

What in heaven's name is up with these "undecideds"?.....they say that they " don't know enough about Sen. Obama".....where have they been for the past 20 months????If he and his policies are not clear , at this point in the game, then perhaps a course in remedial English should be on their agenda..He stands far and above his opponent in honesty, common sense and leadership.

On being "Anti-America......since the RNC appears to endorse the policy that anyone who is for an open government and is against government corruption secrecy fearmongering and political smears must be a Liberal or at worst a "Leftist".....by that same half-assed logic doesn't that make the RNC and its spokespeople Fascist?


Gov. Palin keeps harping on Sen. Obama's association with Bill Ayers.....I want to know about her ( and hubby's ) association with Joe Vogler and the A.I.P......just who is the REAL Sarah Palin?

Mom was on a roll today!

What in the hell is going on with AIG! what kind of " oversight" is being applied to these bailed-out companies? A mere apology from AIG is not sufficient( esp. after a 2nd. incident) they must deduct those monies, plus interest,from the government handout!


In an ideal world political candidates would only be allowed to speak of their accomplishments, why they want to change the status quo and of their plans for the future of the country.......no innuendos, personal attacks or lies/ half-truths about their opponent....and PLEASE, for the love of God, limit the time for Campaigning!


The dumbing- down of America....again.definition of Eloquence; speech or writing that is vivid, forceful, fluent graceful, and persuasive......this would seem to be a reasonable asset in a debate...yet McC. twice put down Obama's"eloquence in a very snide manner ( debate# 3)....perhaps his 8 year association with that famous word mangler from Texas has also dumbed-down his understanding of language..


Joe ,the plumber....I don't know how it is where you live but in my small town plumbers earn $75.00 per hour....and time and a half on week-ends,holidays or after hours......and we are talking about him why????

A very long time ago I used to admire Sen.McC...but he is no longer the "maverick" he once was......after 20 some odd years in Washington he has distanced himself from the average voters and the problems that confront them. Sadly, he has become a Party Hack and his misguided choice of a running mate has proven how out of touch with reality he is.

Pink Rifles. . .

OMG.....pink rifles ?....pink"camos" ?...little girls being taught to hunt and kill Bambi ?...what is the world coming to! Women have played many roles in this world.....educators, nurturers,,leaders and healers.....but to teach/encourage young girls to kill for " sport" is just dead wrong!....

In this,the 21st century when so many terrible thing are happening all over the world and here,in America,we are in such a precarious financial position....it is tragic that there are still those who would vote against a candidate just because of the color of his skin or the name hat he was given at birth.....rather than the REAL issues that confront us.....it is more than tragic,it is shameful!
do you think that thePalin/McC.campaign is aware of the Alaska Independence Party ( well we know that Sarah does) or its founder's views/ comments on America?? Do you??? Check it out.

On one hand the politicians urge immediate action re off- shore drilling for oil.......yet ,on the other hand, the oil companies say they don't have enough refineries to process a large influx of crude oil.......doesn't anyone find this f..... up?
In the olden days,when I was young,....they were called " rabble rousers".....in the 30/s they were the Biergarten Bullies in Germany and Klan Rallies in the South......today it is the Palin/McC. campaign.

On Sarah Palin

Either Sarah Palin is a demented bigot.....or she is just channeling her witch doctor.

Endorsements......many actors are world travelers,have been exposed to many cultures and are well read....so why is such a stigma attached to their political endorsements?why are they considered to be less politically informed/ dumber than, say,a cab driver, a farmer or a grocery clerk?? Today I heard of a twit who is not going to vote for Obama because actorX endorses him......he will vote for McC. instead.....even though they stand for totally different ideologies.....and ACTORS are stupid????

The question should not be whether McC. or Obama " get it" ,it should be if those clowns we sent to Congress " get it" and the answer is a resounding NO!,,,,,God help us all!

this is a quote...and quite apt...."in most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly.Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?".....does this ring a bell with anyone?...the author was D.D.Eisenhower.


Oy Vey!!If there was any doubt about McC's being a second George Bush it should certainly be erased by naming a female Dick Cheney as his running mate!!!


We are Not what we think we are......a government that spies on its own citizens without legal oversight......a government that does nothing to stop major manufacturers, goods and services from sending overseas what used to be American made ,all for tax breaks and profits.....a government that proclaims no nation has the right to invade another"sovereign nation" yet omits the fact that it has done exactly that very thing....a government that touts " less government" yet would regulate the most intimate details of an individuals' life.......think about it.


Does anyone else have serious concerns re our oldest candidate's mental health?? Are his recent statements and actions merely due to senility or do they signify a deeper more disturbing condition?


f......unreal!!! the "overseers" of the bailout are Bush, former CEO of Lehmans',AKA sectry of the treasury,and other financial geniuses.......talk about the foxes guarding the henhouse!!!


"fresh", " down to earth"," Washington Outsider"......all the winks, " you betchas" and folksiness don't add up to a hill of beans.....didn't we just have eight years of the same from the S___ Kicker from Texas?


What 1 million dollars per each adult American citizen could do;...pay off mortgages, make needed repairs to homes,replace old appliances with energy efficient ones, be able to afford health insurance, put aside $$'s for retirement, help small business owners meet payrolls/ lines of credit/ inventories, replace old " gas guzzlers" with newer fuel efficient ones,set aside funds for college/ education.........and all of this is STILL less than the "pork" that is tacked on to the Bail Out Bill!


What's in a name?It seems a lot of folks have problem with Obama's name......would it be more " American" if he were to be called by the name he had in school???? does Barry sound more politically correct to the ignorant??
