Operation Chaos A Rousing Success

And now, it is Rush Limbaugh who is in for the ride of his life. Along with his fellow Conservative commentators, he, and they, will eventually feel the wrath of Democrat politicians upset with their manipulations in primary election voting. This is not to say that what they have done is a bad thing. Indeed, it has been useful in exposing the dangerous proclivities of one Barrack Obama. In spite of enhancing the prospects of Senator Clinton, we have all been treated to an exposure of the aims, and goals of those two candidates. Now, wait for the calls to implement the,"Fairness Doctrine", once more. This too, will be well defended against, for a public that is well informed, is a public that will not tolerate abuse of certain freedoms.

A corner has been turned, and once again we welcome Spring into our midst. Colors abound. Renewed life is evident all about us, and the lure of balmier days beckons to one and to all. The children continue with their growth, and with their understanding. Those who wish to corrupt their increasing knowledge, do so with impunity no longer. These Socialist, country destroying prophets of doom, no longer enjoy a monopoly on the truth, for their truth was, and has always been, based on hideous destructiveness.

Our America, the real America, shall survive their attempts to destroy it through political manipulation, and self-serving means. The children will know better, for this is what they are being taught. Not in our schools do they learn this, but in the comfort of their homes, with the elders leading the way to a more prosperous enlightenment.

And now, back to the education of those who will save us...

People who inspire you

There is this friend of mine, named Jim. Jim is an example of a comitted person, giving his very best no matter the task lying before him. Under Jim's guidance, my grandson has matured in his ice hockey prowess. This he has done right before my very appreciative eyes. Admittedly, my son has held a different idea regarding the grandson's progress, but it has been Jim who set the standard bar higher, as development went on. Jim also has two very capable sons of his own, and coaches them all at the ice rink he manages. All this has unfolded within the last eight years. We have all watched the young boys grow, and mature. Now is the time to pay homage to a man of critical substance, and wisdom. I salute you, Jim!

Why do I take this time to pay a debt of respect? The answer lies in being able to compare two differing sets of examples. On the one hand, we are witness to the debasing of our country's core values, and long history of exceptionalism, by Presidential candidates whose primary interest is securing for themselves power over all that the American people now do voluntarily. On the other hand, one man is able through his dedication to an embraced set of values, and ideals, establish worthy standards for young people to themselves emulate, and to embrace. This these young people do. They do so for they realize that goals set, and those same goals met, equals success at a very personal level. Presidential candidates seem to think that pandering to the emotions of dependent supporters will enhance their chances. This may be true, but at what cost to those same young individuals being taught the sense of personal responsibility?

I'll take my friend Jim any day, over the pretenders among us. Any day at all. His job is of his own creation, held onto well, and firmly. His is a history of sacrifice, and more than simply a willingness to give of his own time. His is an example of the same American exceptionalism, however his is genuine in the best of the American traditions that separate us as a people from the rest of the peoples of this world.

And now, back to the education of those who will save us from ourselves...

A Day of Confusion

Today was a day reserved for Senator McCain alone. How this man could go from a discussion of the war in Iraq, to "global warming", is not only beyond the pale, but beyond comprehension itself. The candidate presumptive, is displaying a puerile side of himself that does not exactly inspire confidence. In fact, for each forward stride he makes, he takes two sideways, and then one in reverse. In other words, he is going in circles to a place of no destiny. What a shame!

The weather, beautiful, should have elicited an appreciation for all things, but it didn't turn out that way. Quite frankly, the political mood is not one of anticipation, rather one of just wishing for it all to be over. In picking up my granddaughter at school, she told me proudly that she had engaged a fellow student in debate concerning global warming, or as she referred to it, "global hoaxing". I have been lecturing? her for the past week, encouraging her to speak up. She did, and she was proud. By the way, she won the debate.

And now, back to the appreciated, and rewarding task of educating the saviors...
