The Christmas Story

Twas the night of Christmas, and in Bethlehem
The people had gathered both women and men.
They came for the census that Ceasar declared
All were to be counted, not one to be spared.

Joseph brought Mary heavy with child,
She carried the Savior on whom God had smiled,
She sat on a donkey her burden was great,
They sought a night's lodging, for it was quite late.

There was no room, no place for a bed,
So Mary gave birth in a lowly straw shed.
The whole world was sleeping unaware that that night
A King had been born with all power and might.

The shepherds heard singing and looked to the sky
Where angels announced the birth of the Most high.
The shepherds and Wise men came to adore
The savior from God who through the virgin was born.

The whole world was given a Savior so bright
Given by God that holy Christmas night.
He grew up to die our sins to forgive,
He came back to life, eternal life to give.

For all who receive the Christ child's free gift,
Forever in Heaven with Him one day will live.
As we look at the stars in the sky shinning bright,
We thank God above for that wondrous Christmas Night!

Merry Christmas Townhall Family!

What's Wrong is Right and What's Right is Wrong...

It seems we are living in an age where "reason" no longer matters, and the voices of reason are looked upon as "extreme" among the elites on the Left, in the world of politics and debate.

Defending our country  from attack  for instance, is "imperialism". Wanting tax cuts for everyone, is unfairly "aiding the rich". Expecting  people to take responsibility for themselves, is being unfair, and "insensitive".  Wanting  government to allow individuals to be charitable, rather than instituting bureaucratic welfare, is "not caring for the poor".

Matters of morality,  human dignity and decency have descended to the lowest depths of perversion, and yet to oppose the popular consensus is to be a prude or worse, a censor, or infringing on the "rights of free speech".

Where faith and religious beliefs are concerned, "all" beliefs are acceptable, other than Judaism or Christianity, and these deserve disdain, impugning, and ridicule.

Patriotism has become a bad thing. To be proud of America and our troops, is to be "superior", "condescending", and "unfair" in the new  globalist  world.

It seems what's wrong is right, and what's right is wrong, and absolutes are absolutely not. Did I miss anything?

Can We Trust Candidates Based on What They Say?

When we look at candidates running for office in the United States Government, can we trust what they say?  
Sometimes when we look behind the facade, we find quite a different story than what appears to be true. It can happen on either side of the political spectrum. It seems scrutiny of one's lifestyle might be in order, or one's voting record, if there is one. This can be true on the Left and Right side of things.

This past election there were people on the Left who ran as "conservatives" or people of "faith",  who got many votes from Christians, we are told. Can they be trusted, or was it a ploy? I guess we'll soon find out. 

I believe the 08 election is going to be one of the most critical in our history. The person who winds up in the Oval Office, along with those who wind up in the House and the Senate will play a critical role in the future of our nation.
 
At this point which candidate appears to be someone we can trust to be the next president of the United States, of either party, based on their actions, not words?

It's a Wonderful Life...

In the movie "It's a Wonderful Life", the beloved Jimmy Stewart Christmas classic, George Baily (Jimmy Stewart) has a nightmare. He suddenly realizes he is living in a world where he and his conservative values never existed, and the chaos that exists as a result is incomprehensible.

As I look at the political landscape , the ramifications of this election, and the possible devastating effects of the presidential election in 08, I feel strikingly like George Baily in that dream.

I'm concerned that we may not understand the full extent of the damage done November 7, and what our future would look like in 08, if the Left controlled both the House, the Senate, and the White House.

What would the world look like if all that we have worked for the past 12 years suddenly were reversed, and it were as though the conservative accomplishments never happened?   

We could wake up in the nightmare of a Kyoto Treaty, new global warming restrictions, dictatorships around the world treated as "co-superpowers", terrorism running rampant globally , the economy in the tank, and taxes at the highest levels in history. And that is just the beginning of the nightmare.

I wonder if we understand the high stakes of the dream becoming reality?

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

Washington is the most beautiful place on the planet today...the solutions to the world's ills are now in the can.

Smiles abound, no longer is there the lingering danger of democrat inditements. Reid, Jefferson, and any other corrupt democrat is now off the hook.

It's a new day of comity, no more insulting rhetoric, only tiptoing through the tulips.

Chuck Schumer, basking in the glorious victory, expounded on the country's future, and the wonders of the Democrat plan to hold their power for a generation. In that moment, the sun seemed to  brighten, as it filtered through the branches of trees surrounding him, giving him an aura, almost a glow.

Al-Masri, Al qaida's leader in Iraq, complemented the American people on their wise choice, and announced his plan to blow up the White House.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

And the Winners Are...

The numbers haven't all come in yet, but as it looks right now, who are the winners in this election? The MSM? The blame America first crowd? The hate Bush mongers? The cut and run republicans? The terrorists? Michael Moore?

Is this election the first win for the propagandists? Will this give the Left a solid platform for the '08 presidential run?

I'm not real optimistic this morning. Anyone out there feeling chipper?

Al Gore's Legacy Lives On!

This morning as I tuned in my Walkman, and started to take off on my usual daily walk, Rush was talking about the "voter suppression" bombs already being thrown by the drivebye media.

The Dems and the MSM whined about the paper ballots, now that they got their wish with electronic voting machines they are ready to "sue" over any voter "fraud" and machine "failures".

AlGores' legacy to the world lives on! Now anytime there's a threat that the Left may lose, or if they actually do lose an election, they can cry foul!

The Left is so pathetic! I guess thanks to AlGore, and dumb voters on the Left, we now can count on his legacy living on for years to come!

Let's kick their batooskys today!

Will We Put the "Internationalists" in Power?

Back on the Left Coast after a trip to God's country (Texas), my head is swimming trying to catch up on the Townhall blogs! 

With the elections around the corner, I'm wondering what Republicans will do, based upon the debate going on among conservatives.

Will we turn the country over to the "Internationalists" on the Left, who have global priorities, rather than American priorities? Will we turn over the reigns to the Socialists?
 
In an imperfect world we have an imperfect party, but should we throw out the conservatives along with the moderates that we are mad at, by "sitting out" the vote? Will we reverse the gains we've made, and go backward instead of forward?

The "Internationalists" like John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore, who's party would be back in power, think nothing of belittling our President, our military and our Country in time of war. Look at Kerry's recent comments about our troops! He's a disgrace! These people want to be a part of the "Global" community, they want to emulate the French, Castro, Chavez, and other dictators. They are embarrassed by American ideals. In their minds we are a bunch of rednecks who are unsophisticated and uneducated!

On November 7 I will choose the better party, the party that loves America, the party that will fight to protect her, defend her and improve her! The party that loves liberty, and despite it's imperfections is still the Grand Ole Party!

Will you join me?

Let's Turn the Country Over to the Socialists!

I think it's time to realize the country needs another 50 years of democrats in the majority.

Our country is much better off after 50 years of democrats controlling things. The republicans have had eight years with Clinton as president, and six with Bush, to reverse 50 years, and I think we need to throw in the towel put our heads in the sand, and give up.

Let's see, republicans have succeeded in the short years I've mentioned, to appoint conservative Justices, lower court judges, pass welfare reform, tax reform, increased revenues cutting the deficit and improving the economy, secured the nation, prevented any attacks since 9-11, reduced abortions, eliminated stem cell research, defeated gay marriage.

Well, that simply isn't accomplishing enough. We need to let the socialist democrats continue with their plans to socialize healthcare, raise taxes, increase abortions, appoint ACLU lawyers to  the Supreme Court, and lower courts, cut and run from the war on terror, and pass gay marriage. 

It's time to let the socialist democrats finish the job they started those 50 years in power. The country needs more gutter politics, more immorality, more corruption, more terrorist attacks. It's time for republicans to do the democrats work for them, whine because they didn't get everything they wanted in six years, and shut up and capitulate.

My New Assignment with the Democrat Party.

 As the newly nominated spokesperson for the Democrat party I would like to tell you what to expect when our side wins the House and the Senate majority this November, and the White House in '08.

The first thing we'll do is close down all New Media, in order to be fair to the MSM. All that competition is confusing mind-numbed dittoheads.
 
The second thing we'll do is impeach all conservative Justices for perverting the Constitution, and fill their seats with ACLU lawyers.

Third we will confiscate all guns from private citizens, so we can better protect them from themselves.

Fourth, we'll round up all members of the Bush's administration, and Bush, and have a quick trial, proclaim them all guilty of war crimes and ship them off to Siberia (with Pistol).

Fifth, we will throw John Bolton to the lions, and install Slick as ambassador to the UN.

Sixth, we will mandate all pregnant women check in for immediate abortions in order to control population growth.

Seventh, we will arrest all obese people and put them in vegetarian prisons.

We will immediately incinerate all cattle Ranches to rid the country of the evils of beef, and make this a vegan nation.

In order to end global warming we will order all citizens to live in TPs and use horses, mules, or camels for all transportation.

Our next priority will be to take over health care, and assign specialists to clinics in all districts, to inoculate all conservatives with brain cell killing mind flu shots.

We will next establish sensitivity training centers for all who fly American flags, go to Christian churches, wear crosses, or display any Christian symbols on Holidays.

We will remove all troops from all posts around the world, and set up reprogramming camps led by militant jihadists.

We will immediately make all Wall Mart employees members of Unions, and mandate higher, fairer prices.

We will also mandate higher gas prices to please the EU, and increase all taxes, to make life fair for all.

And finally, we will discontinue Star Wars, point and send all  nuclear  missiles to Siberia, fly the White flag over the White House, and have Barbara Streisand sing the National Anthem at the installation of President Hillary.

The Dems Don't Want to Talk About the Issues.

Is anyone surprised the Left in this country doesn't want to discuss the issues?
Democrats have no ideas for this country. They are a party in shambles, who dislike America, who would like our country to share superpower status with our adversaries in the world, and wouldn't mind if we lost the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and worse, the war on terror.

They are the party that supports "talks" with tyrants, dictators and terrorists, they are the party of cut and run, tax and spend, open borders, drivers license for illegals, no ID's for voters! They are for terrorist rights, and against surveillance on plots to attack us.

They are the party who's ex-presidents and vice-president (as in Clinton, Carter, and Gore) go abroad in time of war to berate our President and our country in treasonist fashion. They belittle our brave military, and treat them like children, who are forced against their will to fight for our country. They give talking points to our enemy.

The Democrat party had fifty years in power, and we've had to clean up the mess they left, and are doing it! Starting with Newt's contract with America, we've made major gains, and they don't like it. Now they refuse to discuss the issues, because they have no plan for the future. They simply want to gain back their power.
Their plan is "we can do better". Better at what? Better at "how can we fool 'em today?"

It's time to send a strong message to the Democrats and the American media: your plan for "we can do better" i.e. "how can we fool 'em today" will not stand!

Will the party of cut and run divert the nation from the dangers we face in the world, while dragging our nation through the gutter? Will the Left manage to fool the republicans into turning back the clock and losing the gains we've made in such a short time? We must stay the course. We are the better party. We must take the battle to the enemy and win.

Will Republicans Cower at the Dems War Room Blitz?

It's election time and the dems (surprise) are up to their usual tricks to get republicans to sit out the vote.

There is always a a sordid last minute revelation that gets dug up from the bowels of the Leftwing war room (probably being run by Slick and Hillary), and the Republicans fall for it every time. Look at all the people that didn't vote for W because of the DWI revelation the drivebyes somehow managed to lob at us right before the Presidential election.

Well, in the latest bombshell, Mark Foley did the right thing and stepped down, so why is the Left now going after the House leadership? Because they have nothing to run on. To divide and conquer.

They are desperate for power, and will do what desperate power hungry politicians on the Left do. They will get the drivebys to do their dirty work for them lobbing bomshells daily, hoping the republicans will like sheep to the slaughter, allow a bloodbath and not go to the polls.

Who will lose if the republicans sit out this election? The voters. You and me. 

Will we let the dems and the drivebys determine our future by allowing their bombs to blow up in our faces?

It's time to send a message to the sleaze bags on the Left, and make this election a landslide for the Republicans. It's time to send the message that the dems won't determine our future. Will we allow the dems to divide and conquer?

How Time Flies!

I can't believe a month and a half ago I posted my first blog on Townhall! I was so excited, and had no idea where this adventure would take me!

I have learned a great deal this past month and have met many great Americans! You are passionate about your beliefs, as those on the Left, but history shows the truth is on your side.

Thanks for sharing your passions, concerns and hopes, love of God and Country! Together we can fight for what's right and we can work to restore our great land!

God bless our country, our brave military personnel, our President, and may we never forget we are one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!

Thank you Townhall for this great forum of freedom!

Pelosi Invokes the Golden Rule!

Nancy Pelosi, making an absolute fool of herself on the floor of the House, invoked the Golden Rule, in reference to our treatment of murderous jihadis, who would behead her in one swift second if they could get their hands on her.

Typical of democrats, who would prefer to do just about anything other than actually read the Bible before quoting it, she didn't get it right!

I have a question: Does this mean the dems will apply the Golden Rule ( Pelosi's standard version) to the President, as well as the jihadis?

Seriously, are there any democrats out there who are embarrassed by the inane vacuousness of their party leaders? I have a suggestion for a campaign add which would reflect where they stand on the war on terror. They should all go out on the steps of the Capitol together, with a white flag, and sing Kumbaya!

Who is Leaking Intelligence Reports?

It looks like business as usual in Washington, as disarrayed democrats scramble for an election talking point. The AP headlines "Democrats seize on intelligence report" is descriptive of a desperate Democrat Party on the decline. 

The AP continues: "They (democrats) say it's finding that the war in Iraq has increased the threat of terrorism means a leadership change is needed".

Never mind that the "report"  was " a collection of statements sent to reporters amid the disclosure of a National Intelligence Estimate"...in other words... cleverly selected statements...and there's the obligatory "intelligence official...who spoke on condition of anonymity confirming the accounts first published in Sunday's New York Times and Washington Post"...

The AP report goes on to say "A White House spokesman, Blair Jones said, "We don't comment on classified documents". But he said the published accounts' "characterization of the NIE is not representative of the complete document"... Bush's national intelligence director John Negroponte in a statement said ..."The conclusions of the intelligence community are designed to be comprehensive, and viewing them through the narrow prism of a fraction of judgements distorts the broad framework they create".

These leaks are undermining our war on terror, and giving our enemy aid and comfort.
I have a question. Who is leaking classified reports, and when are we going to do something about it?
