I just read for a couple hours. Tons of analysis, after watching television off an on through all of yesterday.
After thinking it all through, instead of getting all upset that our troops are about to be betrayed or that Iraq is going to go down to defeat, I’m thinking this election was much more about typical mid term, esp sixth year mid term shifts in behavior than it is about anything else.
I wish the dems well in the coming months.
I’m curious to see what they will do in terms of legislation and I am very curious to see what will be the outcome of the War. I do not believe that we will ever go back to the way things were in Iraq, no matter how hard the terrorists push. Hopefully the efforts of the past few years, and the continued push by our president that the war effort will be “full speed ahead” will keep our country from falling off a cliff while the dems rule Congress.
I pray that freedom will win the day.
But as we get more socialized with huge leaps towards socialized medicine, and the tax and spenders in control of America’s purse strings, I predict that our society will continue to be bumpy for a couple more generations. And as our political situation continues to swing left and then back to the right, my prayer is simply that the average American will gradually move more towards the freedom side of the spectrum.
To those of you who are mothers teaching the little ones, we are the rulers of the world. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. We hold tomorow safely in our arms when we rock a sleeping child.
My hope for the future is in my children and grandchildren. My children may never see things politically the way that I do. But they will NEVER be in doubt about how I feel and where I stand on political issues. Paul and I have painstakingly taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ. On monday night for family home evening, we read what the Lord Jesus Christ had to say about the constitution. The children were bored, really not interested, and wanted to focus on eating the cinnamon rolls I had made with Ben that afternoon.
I felt like I was failing in my efforts to teach them about the constitution. I offered a silent prayer and asked Heavenly Father what I should say to help emphasize to them the importance of what we were talking about.
“Testify to them” was the answer.
So, I bore my testimony to them that the Constitution was a document inspired by Heaven, and in the name of Jesus Christ I witnessed to them that I had a testimony of Freedom being the guiding principle of life.
I witnessed to them that they were free to choose for themselves the life that they would lead. I shared with them my witness that the health principles they had been raised with had given them a measure of freedom not enjoyed by those who were enslaved by drugs (yes, that includes over the counter drugs), and I told them that I loved them and had great hopes for their future lives.
Ultimately, the fatal flaw of liberalism is that it disempowers those individuals who embrace it.
Ezra Taft Benson claimed that those Mormons who embraced liberalism did not understand the Plan of Salvation. That great plan of Happiness introduced and authored by Jesus Christ in Heavenly Fathers councils in heaven was designed to be the way for all of us to gain salvation and eternal life with our Heavenly Parents. He made it possible for us to have freedom of choice.
What Pelosi and Reed (who I have termed a MINO – Mormon in name only) and Kerry and Kennedy don’t understand as they push for all of the social programs is that the message they are sending to the American People is: “You pathetic people in America don’t have the smarts to make your life work without our nanny state help”. You have no ability to provide for your health, pay for your drugs, heat your homes, pay for your childrens education, or make a decent wage without us stepping in to “level the playing field” and make things “fair” for you to get ahead.
It is liberalism at its worst.
Few in our society are willing to use the C word. You say Communist and everyone looks at you like you are a nut. Yet when evidence of Kerry and Clinton appeasement efforts over the years being tied to Communist influence and connection is brought forward, it is the whistle blower who is suspect. It was no surprise to me that the Communists endorsed the Democrats in the recent election.
Go to the Communist Party web site and you will quickly see that Communist Goals are the Progressive Democrats talking points. Socialism is just watered down Communism, and again, when looking at domestic agendas, no different from the very things Pelosi outlined as being her first steps in the first 100 hours.
Do we honestly believe these social programs are the answer for what ails America?
I don’t.
I am for freedom.
I am for Capitalism.
I am for a Free Market Economy.
I pray that as our world continues to twist and turn with the commotions set in place before the foundation of the world, that we will not allow ourselves to be deceived by the seductions of the left. The War in Heaven continues on the earth today. The issues are the same. The arguments and the ideologies are exactly what they were when Satan and Jesus Christ offered them up to the hosts of heaven even before the world was created.
I feel that with this political choice, American Freedom has just taken a giant step backwards. What will it take to start moving in the right direction again? Morality. Just simple morality. It is immoral for our society to be embracing the ideologies of Marx. It will lead to captivity and spiritual death for our people.
I’m grateful for the polarizing effect of the election. It really cuts the two camps squarly in half. Many of the RINOs (republicans in name only) were sent home from Congress, and in those states, including Colorado, where traditional marriage was up for a vote, America resoundly sided with tradtional values.
Many are claiming this election means that America wants to be a nice big melting pot of centrist politics. I totally disagree. The gap continues to widen. What America is aching for is a true Reagan conservative to step forward and LEAD with our Founding Fathers traditional capitalist free market rules of engagement and individual rights held up as the pinnacle of his presidency.
I’m praying that Mitt Romney is that man.

Don’t Blame Me!

When Traitors are in charge….

Things like this…….just won’t happen

President Lincoln had some good advice…..

And in the coming months and years of Democrat rule of the Congress, my prayer, as always, is for the people of Iraq. Let us hope the betrayal is not too hard on them…..or us.

We are still one nation under God…..but this republican is in deep mourning for my country and the direction of our world at this moment…

Here are some shots of voting adventures.



I stood in line for about 80 minutes. We still have pen and paper ballots in Colorado.

It was a beautiful fall morning!

The delusional, dinkeldorf editors at Vanity Fair just don’t get it….
In this post about Vice President Dick Cheney’s interview with ABC news, I said two days ago regarding the Vanity Fair article by David Rose:

“I’m disapointed in my fellow Neo-Cons that they have seemingly chosen to abandon the President and his policies.
But knowing the press and Vanity Fair in particular as I do, I don’t doubt that this hit piece on the president twisted the words of the Neo-Cons and they are using this article (which will no doubt be trumped up as loudly as possible over the next three days) as an attempt to sway the voters right before the election.”

The Vanity fair editors and their cohorts who are guilty of Media crimes just do NOT get it.
The world has changed. No more will they be able to sway elections with an October surprise, November surprise, or last minute saturday night live sketches intended to sway people in that last minute vote.
Real people in Iraq are dying, both the citizens being slaughtered by the insurgents and the Coalition forces.
With the new media available largely for free to anyone who bothers to get online and read, immediate responses like those posted on Drudge almost the second the vanity fair piece hit the public were written and submitted by Pearl and Co:
On NRO:
Vanity Unfair
A response to Vanity Fair.
David Frum:

“In short, Vanity Fair transformed a Washington debate over “how to correct course and win the war” to advance obsessions all their own.
How was this done?
The author of the piece touted by the press release is David Rose, a British journalist well known as a critic of the Saddam Hussein regime and supporter of the Iraq war. (See here and here for just two instances out of a lengthy bibliography.)
Rose has earned a reputation as a truth teller. The same unfortunately cannot be said for the editors and publicists at Vanity Fair. They have repackaged truths that a war-fighting country needs to hear into lies intended to achieve a shabby partisan purpose.”

Frank Gaffney:

“As with others, I find myself being quoted not only out of context but making remarks that have — albeit in more fulsome ways — been said by me many times before. As with their remarks, mine have been part of the texture of the debate about Iraq for years. They do not reflect remorse about effort to help free the long-suffering people of that country, and others under Islamofascist assault, let alone a so-called “neo-culpa.”
For the record, I remain convinced that the liberation of Iraq was a necessary and laudable measure to prevent a megalomaniac from handing off to terrorists weapons of mass destruction for the purpose of attacking us and our allies. Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. government has proof that Saddam Hussein had precisely such plans ready to implement. In fact, such evidence was actually documented in the Iraq Survey Group’s final report released last year with much obscuring fanfare about the absence of recovered WMDs.”

Michael Ledeen:

Richard Perle:

“I should have known better than to trust the editors at Vanity Fair who lied to me and to others who spoke with Mr. Rose. Moreover, in condensing and characterizing my views for their own partisan political purposes, they have distorted my opinion about the situation in Iraq and what I believe to be in the best interest of our country.
I believe it would be a catastrophic mistake to leave Iraq, as some are demanding, before the Iraqis are able to defend their elected government. As I told Mr. Rose, the terrorist threat to our country, which is real, would be made much worse if we were to make an ignominious withdrawal from Iraq.
I told Mr. Rose that as a nation we had waited too long before dealing with Osama bin Laden. We could have destroyed his operation in Afghanistan before 9/11.
I believed we should not repeat that mistake with Saddam Hussein, that we could not responsibly ignore the threat that he might make weapons of mass destruction available to terrorists who would use them to kill Americans. I favored removing his regime. And despite the current difficulties, I believed, and told Mr. Rose, that “if we had left Saddam in place, and he had shared nerve gas with al Qaeda, or some other terrorist organization, how would we compare what we’re experiencing now with that?”
I believe the president is now doing what he can to help the Iraqis get to the point where we can honorably leave. We are on the right path.”

Michael Rubin:

“I absolutely stand by what I said. Too many people in Washington treat foreign policy as a game. Many Washington-types who speak about Iraq care not about the U.S. servicemen or about the Iraqis, but rather focus on U.S. electoral politics. I am a Republican, but whether the Republicans or Democrats are in power, Washington’s word must mean something. Leadership is about responsibility, not just politics. We cannot go around the world betraying our allies — in this case Iraqis who believed in us or allied with us — just because of short-term political expediency.
This is not just about Iraq: If we abandon Iraq, we will not only prove correct all of Osama Bin Laden’s rhetoric about the US being a paper tiger, but we will also demonstrate — as James Baker and George H. W. Bush did in 1991 — that listening to the White House and alliance with the United States is a fool’s decision. We can expect no allies anywhere, be they in Asia, Africa, or Latin America, if we continue to sacrifice principles to short-term realist calculations. It’s not enough to have an attention span of two years, when the rest of the world thinks in decades if not centuries.”

Do you morons in the media understand that you have BLOOD on your hands?
Do you understand that you are making it more likely that we will be hit by nut job terrorists?
Do you realize that you are behaving like spoiled brats with no thought for the future, but just the immediate gratification of your own selfish Vanity?
Oh, wait, you make a game of Vanity. It is something to be trumped and lauded and praised…right?
Is it some sort of prideful delusion, that makes you certain people will choose to vote based on what your own vanity says is right, even if it is no closer to the truth than Clinton waving his finger yelling that he did not have sex with that woman?
Look, we cannot be manipulated, ever again. The second you post your virulent lies and distortions you will be exposed.
So, I’ll give you a little piece of friendly advice. Give it up. Either get honest or consign yourselves to the dung heap of liberal nothingness. Go back to your porn and your lattes and your humanistic nothings and realize that the grownups in our society have had enough.
