HI,
GOTTA HAND IT TO "THE DONALD" OVER A GROUP OF SOME 25? CANDIDATES, HE GRABBED THE BALL AND RAN WITH IT MAKING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MORE EXCITING THAN IT'S BEEN IN YEARS. YEAH DONALD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOTTA HAND IT TO JEB AS WELL. INSTEAD OF A BLISTERING RETURN, HE'S LETTING DONALD SAY THE HARD STUFF AND BRING IT ALL OUT INTO THE OPEN WHERE IT BELONGS !!!!!!!!!!! HIS ATTITUDE ????????? IT'S A LONG WAY TO ELECTION DAY AND A HARD CAMPAIGN AHEAD WITH THE PRESS CHEERING "DEMOCRATS WIN" EVERY STEP OF THE WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! INTELLIGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A COMBO THEY'D MAKE ON A NATIONAL TICKET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VA...........VA...........VOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS A PARTY REPUBLICANS TEND TO PROJECT THE MORE STABLE ATTITUDES OF BUSINESS EXECUTIVES THAT STAND TO LOSE A FORTUNE BY PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR BREAD DEPENDS ON THEIR ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH OTHER TOP DRAWER EXECUTIVES.
NEITHER JEB OR DONALD CAN BE TERMED DUMMIES. THEY HAVE BOTH EXECUTED
CONTRACTS IN THAT EXECUTIVE WORLD WITH TREMENDOUS SUCCESS AND MADE THEIR WAY IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS WITH ITS UPS AND DOWNS. THEY'VE DEALT WITH BIG NAME EXECUTIVES HERE AND ABROAD AND MADE THEIR MARK ON THE ENTERTAINMENT OR POLITICAL FRONT AS WELL.
JEB IS LOW KEY AND HIS BRAND OF POLITICS IS OLD SCHOOL, FIRM AND DECISIVE AND NOT GIVEN TO MUCH HYPERBOLE. HE TENDS TO SAY WHAT HE THINKS TRUTHFULLY BUT IN A WAY THAT MOST FOLKS CAN ACCEPT EASILY AND WITH NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS SINCERITY. HIS EFFORTS ARE STRONG AND HE STANDS HIS GROUND WITH REASONABLENESS BUT TRUSTWORTHY COMMITMENT TO CHANGE WHAT HE FEELS IN IN ERROR. HE IS A PATRIOT AND LOVES HIS AMERICAN HERITAGE.
THE DONALD HAS A MUCH HIGHER KEY IN PRESENTING THE TRUTH BY BRINGING TO THE FOREFRONT THE SUBJECTS THAT ARE OFTEN AVOIDED BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED CONTROVERSIAL SUCH AS IMMIGRATION. HE ATTACKS AND GETS AT THE TRUTH IN A DIFFERENT WAY BY DRAGGING IT OUT OF ITS CLOSET AND MAKING IT CONFRONTATIONAL. MANY FOLKS APPLAUD THIS BECAUSE IT PUTS THE TRUTH "OUT THERE" WHERE IT CAN BE DISCUSSED AND LOTS OF VIEWS CAN BE EXPLORED. THE DONALD IS COMMITTED TO CHANGING WHAT HE FEELS IS IN ERROR AND CARRIES A FIRM COMMITMENT TO THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HIS UPBRINGING. THE DONALD IS A PATRIOT AND LOVES HIS AMERICAN HERITAGE.
WE HAVE TWO OPPOSITE APPROACHES TO ACHIEVE THE SAME AMERICAN VALUES.
HOW EXCITING THAT WE STILL HAVE MEN LIKE THESE WHO ARE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR THEIR AMERICAN IDEALS THOUGH GIVING UP THEIR OWN INTERESTS AND PURSUITS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW EXCITING THAT WE STILL HAVE MEN LIKE THESE WHO ARE NOT FRIGHTENED OFF BY THE HOSTILITY OF THE PRESS OR THE DEMANDS OF AN OUTSIDE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY THAT HAS GRIPPED AMERICA BY THE THROAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND DO NOT FEAR THE LOSSES THEIR CANDIDACY MAY COST THEM PERSONALLY !!!!!!!! NOT JUST JEB AND THE DONALD ARE TO BE CONGRATULATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT WE HAVE A LARGE FIELD OF ELIGIBLE MEN AND WOMEN IN BOTH PARTIES VYING FOR THE AMERICAN HEART AND MIND IN THE NOVEMBER 2016 ELECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HEROES OF WAR, LET'S DON'T FORGET THE HEROES OF THE HOME POLITICAL FRONT !!!!!!!!!!! THIS TAKES AS MUCH COURAGE AS WARFARE (AND THERE'S BEEN DEATH ON THIS BATTLEFRONT AS WELL !!!!!!) TO CONFRONT THE PROBLEMS, DISAGREEMENTS, JOYS AND ANGERS THAT BESET AMERICAN CITIZENS IN ANY ELECTION YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT AFTER THE OBAMA YEARS IT IS PARTICULARLY ANXIETY RIDDEN. THIS IS NOT AN EASY FRONT LINE TO MOUNT ALL ALONE AND TRAVERSE ACROSS ALIEN TERRITORY IN A COUNTRY DIVIDED BY BELIEFS THAT ARE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE AMERICAN DREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT TAKES COURAGE, CHUTZPAH, MORAL DETERMINATION AND MOST OF ALL STRAIGHT SHOOTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEP, STRAIGHT SHOOTING WINS ALL BATTLES, DON'T YA KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S EXCITING BECAUSE LIKE A BRIGHT LIGHT ON BROADWAY, WE HAVE A NEW SHOW, A BIG CAST, A TERRIFIC AND VITAL SCRIPT, AND CAN CHOOSE WHO WILL "SPEAK THE SPEECH I PRAY YOU, AS I PRONOUNCE IT TO YOU, TRIPPINGLY ON THE TONGUE" ('OLE WILLIE HIMSELF--SHAKESPEARE, THAT IS, NOT NELSON !!!!!!!!!!!!)
WE WILL HAVE OUR PRESS REVIEWS WHICH MAY CHANGE OR CLOSE PART OF THE SHOW AND CAUSE REWRITES (OR RE-RIGHTS) BUT THE POLITICAL PLAY WILL GO ON UNTIL WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE LEGITIMATE CITIZENS WHO HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER CHOOSE THE CANDIDATES WHO WILL REPRESENT AMERICA FOR FOUR MORE YEARS IN THIS TROUBLED, TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU KNOW FOLKS, THAT'S BIG TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU'VE NEVER CONCEIVED IT QUITE THAT WAY, IT'S TIME TO REALIZE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING THAT ONLY A FRACTION OF THE CITIZENS OF THIS WORLD HAVE THE RIGHT OR POWER TO DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE AND VOTE TO ELECT THAT PERSON TO OFFICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS TRULY AN ASTOUNDING EVENT THOUGH WE MOSTLY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I SUPPOSE THERE ARE THOSE WHO DON'T VOTE OR PARTICIPATE AND PROBABLY ALSO DON'T GO TO BROADWAY SHOWS OR OTHER SPECTACULAR EVENTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A SHAME TO MISS ALL THE EXCITEMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MAKES ME SAD JUST TO THINK OF THAT.
CHEERS, CONNIE

POST266 "SIMPLE IS PROFOUND"
Hi,
THIS BLOGGER IS GOING BONKERS !!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE MANY WONDROUS INNOVATIONS IN WORD PROGRAMS. BUT TRY................JUST TRY TO FIND SINGLE SPACE !!!!!!!! OR DOUBLE SPACE.
A PET PEEVE IS THAT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE COMPLEX AND NOT EASY TO FIND SO THAT PEOPLE WHO CREATE WORDSMITH PROGRAMS CAN FEEL SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE BLOKE !!!!!!!!!!! POO ON THAT.
WHEN THIS BLOGGER STARTED OUT, LIFE WAS HARD !!!!!!!!!! ALL WE HAD WAS A TYPEWRITER WITH NO WAY TO DELETE. ONLY ERASERS WHICH DID A LOUSY JOB. THE YOUNG ME WENT TO WORK FOR AN INVENTOR ON SATURDAYS AFTER TAKING TYPING ONE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
NEVER A GREAT TYPIST, MY TEACHER DRUMMED INTO ME==NO MISTAKES==NO MISTAKES !!!!! INEVITABLE ERRORS APPEARED AND SHE MADE ME THROW MY HALF DONE PAPER AWAY AND START AGAIN. IT MADE AN IMPRESSION EVEN THOUGH FRANKLY IT WAS A WASTE OF PAPER AND TIME. ON MY NEW SATURDAY JOB AS A TYPIST, THIS BLOGGER WAS DETERMINED TO GIVE HIM THE BEST OF TYPING. SHE'D TAUGHT ME WELL TO THROW OUT PAPER WITH A MISTAKE AND SOON THE WASTEPAPER BASKET FILLED.
MY BOSS WAS A KINDLY MAN WHO KNEW THIS BLOGGER WAS TRYING HARD AND NEVER SAID A WORD, HOWEVER, ONE SATURDAY MORNING AT WORK THERE WERE 30 OR MORE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ERASERS LINED UP ALONG THE DESK. HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SO THIS BLOGGER ASSUMED THEY WERE FOR HIS WORK AT THE DRAWING BOARD. SIXTEEN IS NOT GENIUS AND NOT TUNED INTO IRONY. AFTER ALL THIS BLOGGER WAS DOING WHAT THE TYPING TEACHER TAUGHT AND THAT SAME TEACHER BRAGGED SHE TYPED 200 WORDS A MINUTE IN A TYPING CONTEST AND MADE A BELIEVER ??????? OUT OF ME. THUS THE TYPING AND DISCARDING CONTINUED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POOR MAN MUST HAVE REALLY BEEN DISTRAUGHT.
THE UPSHOT WAS ONE SATURDAY HE GAVE ME A LESSON IN DRAFTING AND SAID AT THE END THAT HIS NEED FOR A SECRETARY HAD DIMINISHED AND HE HOPED THIS BLOGGER WOULD VISIT ONCE IN AWHILE.
SOME YEARS LATER IT DAWNED ON ME (DU UH) !!!!!!!!WHAT HAPPENED BUT HE HAD DONE IT SO SMOOTHLY THAT THERE WAS NO EMBARRASSMENT. WHAT A GEM !!!!!!!!!!
WELL, THIS BLOGGER STILL ISN'T A GREAT TYPIST AND THE YEARS ADDED ON ARE NOT AN ASSET. SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE SHE LEARNED TO USE AN ERASER BUT SHE WAS FIRST IN LINE WHEN COMPUTERS APPEARED IN RADIO SHACK AND BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL TRS80 AND FIGURED HER TYPING TROUBLES WERE OVER. THIS WAS TO SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS AS THE YEARS WENT BY BUT NOT IN THE BEGINNING.
THIS ALL IN ONE (EXCEPT THE PRINTER) COMPUTER HAD A SWITCH UNDERNEATH THAT IT TOOK TIME TO LOCATE AND THEN A RED LIGHT THAT BLINKED
CONTINUALLY TO SHOW YOU HAD ACHIEVED THE FIRST PART OF BLAST OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER THE INSTRUCTION BOOK OR THE CLERKS AT RADIO SHACK KNEW HOW TO START THE SECOND PART AND THE BLINKETY, BLINKETY, RED LIGHT WAS ALL I COULD PULL UP FOR WEEKS.
NOW FOR THOSE WHO GOT A COMPUTER LATER AND HAD ALL THE WONDERFUL BUILT-IN FEATURES, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT TRS-80 HAD NOTHING BUILT IN. IT CAME WITH A TEST PROGRAM BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS IN HOW TO GET INTO THE LITTLE DARLING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JIM THREATENED TO DISPOSE OF THE DAMN MACHINE IN AN UNKIND FASHION IF IT KEPT DRIVING ME BATTY AND SO I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
BURIED IN THE MANUAL WAS A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO BUILD A PROGRAM TO START THE BLASTED THING AND GET THE COMPUTER GOING SO THAT YOU COULD INSTALL THE TAPE WITH THE OFFICE PROGRAM ON IT. WHAT ELSE COULD THIS BLOGGER DO EXCEPT LEARN TO WRITE A PROGRAM.
DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY FOUR LINES BUT IT PROVED TO BE A PATH PAST THE BLINKING RED LIGHT INTO THE CAVERNS OF THE COMPUTER AND THE REST AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY.
THAT FIRST OFFICE PROGRAM WAS SIMPLE, CLEAR AND VERY WORKABLE !!!!!!!!!!!! THEY FIGURED IF YOU GOT YOURSELF INSIDE TO USE IT, YOU DESERVED A REST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHY NOW WHEN I FUSS AT THESE OVER COMPLEX, CONVOLUTED, HEAVY HANDED OFFICE PROGRAMS, THERE IS GOOD REASON. I PRODUCED A LOT OF COPY ON THAT TANDY WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM AFTER BRINGING IT INTO THE BOWELS OF THE COMPUTER BY TAPE RECORDER AND LEARNING THAT ERASING WAS NO LONG NECESSARY. DELETING HAD ARRIVED. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THERE WAS NO PAPER TO THROW OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH !!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER OFTEN SAID SOMEONE SHOULD BUILD A PROGRAM TO RUN THE THING AND LO AND BEHOLD THEY DID. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THAT MARVEL APPEARED, THE COMPUTER JOCKS FADED BACK INTO THE WEB AND THE PROGRAM MAVENS APPEARED AND HAD TO PROVE THEIR WORTH. SO THEY TINKERED AND TINKERED AND TINKERED AD INFINITUM WITH THE REALLY WORKABLE PROGRAMS TO GIVE MORE AND MORE HELP BECAUSE WE WERE ALWAYS IN DEEP DO-DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND A LOT OF WHAT THEY PRODUCED WAS AMAZINGLY GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO IMPROVE ON WHAT WAS SIMPLE, STRAIGHT FORWARD AND USABLE THAT IT WENT TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET.
SO LINE SPACING GOT PUT UNDER PARAGRAPHS, FONT GOT BURIED IN TYPE ADJUSTMENTS, COLOR BECAME A LITTLE BUTTON. IN FACT BUTTONS BECAME AS COMPLICATED AS THAT FANCY TUXEDO SHIRT OR SPECIAL BLOUSE YOU WORE NEW YEARS EVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S LIKE THE OLD GAME OF WHICH BOX IS IT UNDER-----ONLY IT'S A BUTTON AND ONLY GOD AND THE TECHNICIAN REALLY KNOW WHICH BUTTON TO LOOK UNDER SO ONE POKES ALONG FINDING OUT WHAT'S UNDER THIS OR THAT BUTTON UNTIL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...........YOU HIT ON THE RIGHT ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PUH.......................LEEZE COMPUTER GURUS GIVE US A BREAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE ONE BUTTON DO ALL THE NECESSARIES AND SAVE THE OTHER BUTTONS FOR THE UNNECESSARIES OR THE ONCE IN AWHILE OR THE NEW MOVES YOU CAME UP WITH BUT .................LEAVE THE MAJOR THINGS IN TYPING ALONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE LINE SPACING (REGULAR ONE AND TWO LINES), INDENTATION, INK, PARAGRAPHS BETWEEN THOUGHTS, PUNCTUATION AND SO FORTH.
MICROSOFT WORD PROCESSING GEEKS: DO NOT------------PLEASE DO NOT--------------ADD ANY FANCY STUFF TO THAT LIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT SIMPLE ------------MAKE IT THE FIRST BUTTON AND PUT NOTHING ELSE ON IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUT ALL THOSE FANCY COLUMNS, SYMBOLS, SPACING PROBLEMS ETC. ETC. IN ANOTHER PLACE AND IF YOU CAN DO THIS TELL THE PROGRAM BOSS TO GIVE YOU A RAISE AND HIRE YOU TO RUN THE WHOLE SHEBANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRING BACK SIMPLICITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT THE SIMPLICITY OF THE FIRST COMPUTERS WITH NO HELP BUT THE SIMPLICITY OF THE SIMPLE CONTROLS OF AN OLD TYPEWRITER BUT KEEP DELETE SO WE CAN LOOK GOOD AS TYPISTS AND GET ON WITH LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER LOVES COMPUTERS AND THE FREEDOM THEY OFFER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER IS NOT SO FOND OF THE TECHNICIANS THAT SEEM TO FEEL THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR JOBS THAT THEY HAVE TO INSTALL, INSTILL, INVOKE NEW !!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING.
CUT IT OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIX THE OLD AND MAKE IT RIGHT THEN LEAVE IT ALONE.
LOOK AT THE OLD MACHINES. THEY HAD THEIR FAULTS BUT THEY COVERED MOST TEXT EMERGENCIES VERY WELL. NEW AND IMPROVED IS NOT ALWAYS EITHER NEW OR IMPROVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ASK ANY INNOVATOR AND THEY WILL TELL YOU "SIMPLE IS PROFOUND" !!!!!!!!!!!!TRUTH !

POST 265 IS ARAB AGREEMENT - "LIAR'S POKER" ?
Hi,
WISH THIS BLOGGER COULD FEEL GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR AN AGREEMENT WITH IRAN (NOT A TREATY BUT AN ARRANGEMENT THROUGH THE U.N.) OVER NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
IF ANYONE BUT OBAMA HAD MADE THE AGREEMENT, IT WOULD SEEM MORE LIKELY NOT TO EITHER GIVE AWAY THE FARM OR HAVE BEEN BASED ON TRUTHFUL INTERACTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS IT IS, THIS BLOGGER IS WAITING FOR THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THIS DRAMA OF ARAB OVER ARAB. WHAT IS IN THE FINE PRINT ?????????? WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE MARGIN ????????????? WHAT'S THE REAL COST ?????
"THE FARTHER YOU ENTER THE TRUTH, THE DEEPER IT IS." A BANKIT QUOTE
THIS BLOGGER WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANOTHER PART: "THE FARTHER YOU ENTER INTO LYING, THE MORE MUDDLED IT GETS." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THAT IS WHERE WE UNFORTUNATELY ARE WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA AND WITH ALL THE ARAB NATIONS WHERE LYING IS THOUGHT TO BE AN ART TO BE PRACTICED TO THE FULLEST AND MOST PURPOSEFUL EXTENT IN ORDER TO WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER HAS NOT READ A TREATISE ON HOW THE ARABS SORT THROUGH THE CONSTANT LYING SO AS TO KNOW WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FIND ONE. IT MIGHT HELP TO HAVE A GUIDE BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THE PRESENT, HOWEVER, SINCE WE HAVE LONG BELIEVED THAT TRUST IS OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR STRENGTH AND ONLY RECENT EVENTS IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS HAVE CHANGED THAT, WE HAVE TO BEGIN AGAIN TO FIND PEOPLE TO REPRESENT US THAT VALUE TRUTH ABOVE THE CHEAP ?????? EASY LIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOST FOLKS TODAY DO NOT REMEMBER THE WARNINGS THAT ILLICIT DRUGS WERE BEING SUPPORTED AND FURNISHED BY THE COMMUNISTS TO WEAKEN OUR STRENGTH IN AMERICA . WHEN DRUGS BECAME THE RAGE, SO DID LYING, SINCE THEY WERE ILLEGAL. HONESTY SUFFERED A REAL BLOW AND DRUGS PROLIFERATED. SCORE ONE FOR THE COMMUNISTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LYING NOW HAS BECOME SO COMMON THAT THIS BLOGGER BELIEVES LITTLE READ AND LITTLE SPOKEN UNLESS CONFIRMED BY SOURCES THAT ARE MOST RELIABLE AND EVEN THEN, THERE IS DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A SAD COMMENTARY ON A COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS SAID THAT "A MAN'S WORD WAS HIS BOND". OF COURSE IN THOSE DAYS SHOOTING WAS CONSIDERED A JUST AND SWIFT PENALTY FOR BREAKING A BOND.
NOW A DEATH PENALTY IS FOR "BREAKING A BONG" SEEN BY DEALERS AS GIVING THE TRUTH TO THE LAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, HOW DO WE KNOW IF ANYTHING IN THE AGREEMEMNT WITH THIS GROUP OF PERSIANS WHO ARE ISLAMIC LIKE THE ARABS IS TRUE????? ???????? DO THEY VALUE LYING OR IS THEIR VALUE TRUTH ??????????????? HOW DO WE KNOW IF THEY INTEND TO ACTUALLY KEEP THEIR WORD ON THE WORDS IN THE AGREEMENT ??????????????? HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THEY SIMPLY DIDN'T GET TIRED OF OUR BITCHING AND DECID TO RAISE THE LYING TO THEIR HIGHEST ART OF POLITICAL FINESSE TO SHUT US UP ????????????????? HOW DO WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DIDN'T HAVE HIS "TONGUE IN HIS CHEEK" THE WHOLE TIME KNOWING THAT THE PERSIANS WERE CONDUCTING A LYING SEMINAR ??????????? THEN OBAMA WOULD BE VIEWED AS "MR. WONDERFUL" FOR AWHILE ???????????YOU KNOW=WIN - WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
PUH.............................LEEEEZE !!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK AND REMOVE ME FROM THE MIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOES THAT HELP EXPLAIN WHY THIS BLOGGER CAN'T GET EXCITED OVER AN AGREEMEMT CONDUCTED BY A POSSIBLY LYING PERSIAN RULER WITH A BASICALLY LYING AMERICAN="ARAB" PRESIDENT AND CONSIDER IT TO BE VALID AND WORTHWHILE, INDEED TRUST WORTHY???????????????? THIS WAS NOT APPROVED BY OUR CONGRESS BUT IS RELATED TO UNITED STATES INVOLVMENT WITH A UNITED NATIONS EMBARGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S CERTAINLY A GOOD LESSON IN THE QUESTION-"WHY IS HONESTY IMPORTANT"???????????? IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE ONLY AN HONEST MAN/WOMAN CAN BE TRUSTED TO KEEP HIS/HER WORD. REMEMBER A "MAN'S/WOMAN'S WORD IS THEIR BOND" AND SUBJECT TO INSTANT DEATH IF DEFAULTED. IF THAT WERE TRUE TODAY, THERE'D BE BODIES KNEE DEEP IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TELL YOU WHAT ??????????? THIS BLOGGER HAS A SOLUTION. NOT A HIGH MINDED ONE, MIND YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S ALL GET WRIST BANDS. THE LIAR WOULD WEAR ONE THAT SAYS - I VALUE LYING. THE HONEST ONE WOULD WEAR ONE THAT SAYS- I VALUE HONESTY. THEN YOU COULD KNOW WHO TO TRUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOPS, SMALL ERROR HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULDN'T THE LIAR BUY THE HONESTY BAND TO WEAR ??????????? AFTER ALL, THAT'S WHAT A LIAR DOES IS LIE !!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A CONUNDRUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'OH WHAT A WEB WE WEAVE WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER THINKS WE NEED THAT ARAB GUIDE BOOK TO TRANSLATING LYING. OF COURSE IT WILL BE HARD TO TELL UNTIL WE TRY IT WHETHER IT'S LYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE SEEM TO BE INTENT ON PLAYING "LIARS POKER" WITH OUR NATIONAL SECURITY !!!!!!!!!!!
FRANKLY, IT JUST DOESN'T GIVE THIS BLOGGER THAT WARM, COZY, COMFY FEELING THAT AMERICA USED TO PROJECT !!!!!!!!!!!!

POST 264-DONALD TRUMP IS GUARANTEED FREEDOM OF SPEECH BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
Hi,
YOU KNOW THIS BLOGGER IS A JEB BUSH FOR PRESIDENT FAN. BUT THIS WEEK IT IS NECESSARY TO DEFEND DONALD TRUMP NOT BECAUSE I AGREE WITH HIS WORDS BUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN ............THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH............GUARANTEED BY OUR CONSTITUTION.
DOES THIS BLOGGER BELIEVE THAT HE SPOKE INJUDICIOUSLY? YEAH !!!!!!!!!! BUT THAT'S MY OPINION WHICH I HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS AS WELL.
DOES THIS BLOGGER THINK THE COMPANIES WHO "PUNISHED HIM" FOR HIS WORDS DID SO INJUDICIOUSLY???????????? YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEY ALSO HAD A RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS.
BUT "PUNISH TRUMP" AS THE PRESS CLAIMED FOR EXPRESSING HIS OPINIONS IN A COUNTRY THAT GUARANTEES FREE SPEECH IN ITS CONSTITUTION ?????????????
PUH............LEEEEEZE GIVE ME A BREAK OR GIVE "THE DONALD" A BREAK !!!!!!!!!!!
WE JUST HAD A CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO EXPRESS OUR LOVE FOR AMERICA AND A CONSTITUTION CREATED AFTER A BLOODY REVOLUTIONARY WAR IN WHICH OUR LATER ELECTED FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT, GEORGE WASHINGTON, THEN GENERAL WASHINGTON, FOUGHT ALONGSIDE HIS AMERICAN TROOPS AGAINST THE ABORTIVE ATTEMPTS MADE BY GREAT BRITAIN TO CLAIM AMERICA FOR ITSELF.
THAT CONSTITUTION READS VERY CLEARLY (YOU SHOULD LOOK UP A COPY AND READ IT-IT'S VERY CLEAR) AND "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" IS CLEARLY LAID OUT IN THE DOCUMENT, CALLED THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
IT DOES NOT SAY SPEECH WHICH PLEASES OTHERS !!!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT SAY SPEECH THAT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT !!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT KEEP AMERICANS FROM INSULTING EACH OTHER !!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT TAKE "THE CASPER MILQUETOAST" ATTITUDE TOWARD PEOPLE SPEAKING THEIR MIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT GUARANTEES YOUR RIGHT AND MINE TO SAY WHAT WE THINK HOPEFULLY WITHOUT BLASPHEMY. BUT OUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH HOLDS NO QUALIFICATIONS SUCH AS THOSE WHICH OUR CURRENT SOCIETY SEEMS TO FEEL ARE NECESSARY.
AMERICA IS BECOMING A VERY PRISSY COUNTRY INDEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONALD TRUMP SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IS ANGRY AS HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE. HE'S NO SHY VIOLET SITTING IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE !!!!!! HE'S AN AMERICAN AND USED TO SPEAKING HIS MIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HE KNOWS FULL WELL THAT THE CONSTITUTION ENSURES THAT HE CAN DO SO!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN IF MACY'S STORE MANAGERS FORGOT TO READ IT ALONG WITH THOSE AT NBC (THEY EVIDENTLY HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME READING THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO TO GET AROUND TO THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION) PLUS THE OTHERS WHO WITHDREW THEIR SUPPORT BECAUSE "HE DOESN'T PLAY NICE" AND "MIND HIS MANNERS" !!!!!!?????????? TISK''''''TISK -- SHAME ON HIM !!!!!!!!!!!
DONALD TRUMP WAS EXERTING HIS RIGHT TO EXPRESS HIS OPINION AND TO USE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH THAT THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION ENSURES.
READ AMENDMENT ONE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE THE FREEDOMS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE DO. MOST COUNTRIES SADLY LACK THE RIGHT TO THOSE FREEDOMS AND ARE EASY FOR AN ENEMY TO DEFEAT.
WHY ????????????????? WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO INCLUDE A MAN'S RIGHT TO SPEAK HIS MIND ?????????????????? SIMPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS BEING CUT OFF BY THE PEOPLE WHO SOUGHT TO OVERTHROW OUR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!
YEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BACK IN IN THE 1700'S WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH FOLKS WANTING TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY AWAY FROM US TOO JUST LIKE TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER SINCE COLUMBUS DISCOVERED THIS CONTINENT THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE WHO WANT TO TAKE US OVER AND REMAKE US IN THEIR IMAGE. I GUESS OUR OVERRUNNING THE INDIANS SET A PRECEDENT. BUT IF ANYONE HAS A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT ABOUT THEIR EARLY TREATMENT IN THIS COUNTRY THE INDIANS CERTAINLY DO, BUT THEY'RE TOO INTELLIGENT TO WHINE ABOUT THE PAST WHEN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE HAVE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES! WHINING SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY SOME FOLKS EXPLAIN SOME INCOMPETENCE THAT EXIST IN SPITE OF FREE SCHOOLING AND GENEROUS ATTITUDES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO I HAVE TO DEFEND THE DONALD'S RIGHT TO SAY WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND ITS PROBLEMS. THIS BLOGGER IS SURE THAT HE KNOWS THAT MOST MEXICAN CITIZENS ARE FINE UPSTANDING FOLK BUT LET'S FACE IT WHY WOULD THE CREAM OF THE CROP WANT TO ILLEGALLY IMMIGRATE IF THEY WERE DOING ALL THAT WELL IN THEIR NATIVE LAND ????????????
THIS BLOGGER HOPES THAT WE CAN FIND A WAY TO OFFER THEM A LEGAL METHOD OF ENTRY AND TO EARN THE RIGHT TO AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP THEREBY ENCOURAGING HONESTY, PROSPERITY AND FREEDOM UNDER OUR LAWS AND OUR CONSTITUTION BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT LEGALITY THEY HAVE NO PROTECTION AND ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN DREAM--ONLY VISITORS WHOM SOME AMERICANS RESENT AS LAW ABIDING, TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF AMERICA.

YOU KNOW THIS BLOGGER IS A JEB BUSH FOR PRESIDENT FAN. BUT THIS WEEK IT IS NECESSARY TO DEFEND DONALD TRUMP NOT BECAUSE I AGREE WITH HIS WORDS BUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN ............THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH............GUARANTEED BY OUR CONSTITUTION.
DOES THIS BLOGGER BELIEVE THAT HE SPOKE INJUDICIOUSLY? YEAH !!!!!!!!!! BUT THAT'S MY OPINION WHICH I HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS AS WELL.
DOES THIS BLOGGER THINK THE COMPANIES WHO "PUNISHED HIM" FOR HIS WORDS DID SO INJUDICIOUSLY???????????? YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEY ALSO HAD A RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS.
BUT "PUNISH TRUMP" AS THE PRESS CLAIMED FOR EXPRESSING HIS OPINIONS IN A COUNTRY THAT GUARANTEES FREE SPEECH IN ITS CONSTITUTION ?????????????
PUH............LEEEEEZE GIVE ME A BREAK OR GIVE "THE DONALD" A BREAK !!!!!!!!!!!
WE JUST HAD A CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO EXPRESS OUR LOVE FOR AMERICA AND A CONSTITUTION CREATED AFTER A BLOODY REVOLUTIONARY WAR IN WHICH OUR LATER ELECTED FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT, GEORGE WASHINGTON, THEN GENERAL WASHINGTON, FOUGHT ALONGSIDE HIS AMERICAN TROOPS AGAINST THE ABORTIVE ATTEMPTS MADE BY GREAT BRITAIN TO CLAIM AMERICA FOR ITSELF.
THAT CONSTITUTION READS VERY CLEARLY (YOU SHOULD LOOK UP A COPY AND READ IT-IT'S VERY CLEAR) AND "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" IS CLEARLY LAID OUT IN THE DOCUMENT, CALLED THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
IT DOES NOT SAY SPEECH WHICH PLEASES OTHERS !!!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT SAY SPEECH THAT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT !!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT KEEP AMERICANS FROM INSULTING EACH OTHER !!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT TAKE "THE CASPER MILQUETOAST" ATTITUDE TOWARD PEOPLE SPEAKING THEIR MIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT GUARANTEES YOUR RIGHT AND MINE TO SAY WHAT WE THINK HOPEFULLY WITHOUT BLASPHEMY. BUT OUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH HOLDS NO QUALIFICATIONS SUCH AS THOSE WHICH OUR CURRENT SOCIETY SEEMS TO FEEL ARE NECESSARY.
AMERICA IS BECOMING A VERY PRISSY COUNTRY INDEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONALD TRUMP SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IS ANGRY AS HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE. HE'S NO SHY VIOLET SITTING IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE !!!!!! HE'S AN AMERICAN AND USED TO SPEAKING HIS MIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HE KNOWS FULL WELL THAT THE CONSTITUTION ENSURES THAT HE CAN DO SO!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN IF MACY'S STORE MANAGERS FORGOT TO READ IT ALONG WITH THOSE AT NBC (THEY EVIDENTLY HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME READING THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO TO GET AROUND TO THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION) PLUS THE OTHERS WHO WITHDREW THEIR SUPPORT BECAUSE "HE DOESN'T PLAY NICE" AND "MIND HIS MANNERS" !!!!!!?????????? TISK''''''TISK -- SHAME ON HIM !!!!!!!!!!!
DONALD TRUMP WAS EXERTING HIS RIGHT TO EXPRESS HIS OPINION AND TO USE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH THAT THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION ENSURES.
READ AMENDMENT ONE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE THE FREEDOMS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE DO. MOST COUNTRIES SADLY LACK THE RIGHT TO THOSE FREEDOMS AND ARE EASY FOR AN ENEMY TO DEFEAT.
WHY ????????????????? WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO INCLUDE A MAN'S RIGHT TO SPEAK HIS MIND ?????????????????? SIMPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS BEING CUT OFF BY THE PEOPLE WHO SOUGHT TO OVERTHROW OUR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!

POST 263 FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY FOR ALL RACES
HI,
I HAVE A POEM TODAY THAT IS DEAR TO MY HEART AND STILL GIVES ME CHILLS AS I READ IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! AS MY BLOG FOR THIS WEEK. IT SAYS BETTER THAN I CAN WHAT THE 4TH OF JULY REALLY MEANS SO NO MATTER HOW YOU CELEBRATE, I HOPE YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT WE LOST MANY AMERICAN LIVES FIGHTING FOR OUR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FROM THE SLAVERY AND TYRANNY BROUGHT US FROM EUROPE. TOO OFTEN IT IS FORGOTTEN IN TODAY'S DIALOGUE THAT WE WERE ALL SLAVES--WHITE OR BLACK OR YELLOW !!!!!!!!!! WE ARE FREE BECAUSE WE FOUGHT A MIGHTY WAR AND WON THAT FREEDOM WITH THE BLOOD AND TEARS OF ALL OUR ANCESTORS.
THANK THE GOOD LORD THAT WE HAD SMART MEN WHO VOTED TO SEAL THAT FREEDOM IN A 1787 CONSTITUTION THAT FORMED A TRIANGULAR GOVERNMENT (CONGRESS, THE SUPREME COURT, AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH) AND THOMAS JEFFERSON , WHO CREATED AN ASTOUNDING CONSTITUTION THAT PROTECTS US EXCEEDINGLY WELL WHEN LEFT ALONE !!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE FORTUNATE AND MUST REMEMBER THESE GIFTS MUST BE GUARDED WITH GREAT CARE FROM THOSE WHO ARE ONCE AGAIN SEEKING TO TAKE THEM AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHEERS, CONNIE
I AM AN AMERICAN
by Elias Lieberman
I am an American.
My father was a son of the Revolution.
My mother was a colonial dame.
One of my ancestors pitched tea overboard in Boston Harbor.
Another stood his ground with Warren;
Another hungered with Washington at Valley Forge.
My forefathers were America in the making. They spoke in her council halls!
They died on her battlefields.
They commanded her ships!
They cleared the forests. Dawns reddened and paled.
Staunch hearts of mine beat fast
At each new star in the nation's flag.
Keen eyes of mine forsaw her greater glory:
The sweep of her seas,
The plenty of her plains,
The man-hives in her billion-wired cities.
Every drop of blood in me holds a heritage of patriotism!
I am an American! I am an American!
My father was an atom of dust,
My mother, a straw in the wind
To his Serene Majesty.
One of my ancestors died in the mines of Siberia;
Another was crippled for life by twenty blows of the knout;
Another was killed, defending his home during the massacre.
The history of my ancestors is a trail of blood
To the palace-gate of the Great White Czar. But, then the dream came---
The dream of America.
In the light of the Liberty torch,
The atom of dust became a man
And the straw in the wind became a woman
For the first time. See, said my father, pointing to the flag that fluttered near,
"That flag of stars and stripes is yours;
It is the emblem of the promised land.
It means, my son, the hope of humanity.
Live for it---die for it!" Under the open sky of my new country,
I swore to do so,
And every drop of blood in me
Will keep that vow.
I am proud of my future.
I am an American.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY. ENJOY THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE DAY (1776 ) AGAIN ON JULY 4, 2015 CHEERS, CONNIE
