Dying rooms are Holy Ground

This is an important article for those who have eyes to read and ears to hear. I was with my Father in the hospital in Spokane Washington after his final series of heart attacks that began several days before in Montana. I was told by the cardiologist that he only had 10% heart function left and was not going home. I had some time alone with him for a while and we were talking about spiritual matters when he had a vision. The curtain was drawn around us in the room. There was no one there but the two of us. The author of the article is correct, the dying rooms are Holy Ground.

Hoyer Wants Pay Freeze to Include Troops

"Millions for defense, sir, but not one cent for tribute!" "Steny" Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, and their Progressive Democrat Pals in the House and Senate seriously need to go into retirement in 2012.

If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship." --Alexander Hamilton Ladies and Gentlemen ... Look at what the Gallup Poll is saying.

Mr. President, Congress, Judges: We Ask ... Do Tell

"Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government. Whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as firm and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a tenfold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country." - Douglas MacArthur "Duty, Honor, Country" Speech, West Point, May 12, 1962

Beat Feet and Declare Defeat?

"Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American." - General George S. Patton

Food Stamp Nation?

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.

Wanted: A Rendezvous with Destiny

"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.

Records on Obama? ... Go Fish!

"Alea iacta est!" Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin, a decorated Army Flight Surgeon, is being Court Martialed for failing to deploy to a war zone. This is a serious charge.

He alleges that President Obama has not provided appropriate documentation to prove that he is eligible to be President of the United States, much less Commander in Chief, despite the 2008 election results.

Endangered RINO = “Lame Duck” RINO

"A monarchy is a merchantman which sails well, but will sometimes strike on a rock, and go to the bottom; a republic is a raft which will never sink, but then your feet are always in the water." - Federalist Patriot, Fisher Ames, Speaking in the House of Representatives, 1795 As a post requiem to yesterday's Primary Election in Delaware, I offer some random thoughts.
