The Cossacks are back......
     And they are not nice.  No, not one bit.  I was, finally, eligible for Medicare this year and I honestly believed that this sort of abomination had been gotten rid of with the "Socialist Enlightment that ran rampant in those continents.  So when Russia attacked Georgia my thoughts ran something like:
         
       ...why didn't anyone listen?
       ...what will the Europeans say now?
       ...what will our uberlefties do about it?
       ...I thought we were finally done with this!
       ...Oh, my god (remember I am an atheist) what
          can the world do about this now with all this hatred.....

     Anyway, you get my drift.  I know the Western Europeans can't and won't do anything but issue words (they do matter, don't they)?  The poor Eastern Europeans haven't had enough time to become tough enough to slow or stop the brutish bear called Russia, aka Putin.
     My take on all of this is that mankind has been doing whatever it wants, when it wants...until the early part of last century.  WWI and WWII were fought for a novel reason:  to stop the hordes of hate.  I don't believe anything like this had ever happened before but then there had never been a United States of America before in those circumstances.  Just recently I heard author, Barbara Oakley, say that scientists believe about 2% of the genetic structure of Genghis Khan (Temujin) appears in a huge majority of the population!!!  It appears to me that Russia and points south and east have considerably more than that.  Russia is after all, the country that kept its population in feudal status longest.  Not to mention the tens of millions if not hundreds murdered by those before Stalin, Stalin and forward.  Why, there are even reports of pillaging and raping...old tried and true methods of increasing your gain and destroying the soul of human beings.  Talk about old fashioned!  Here in the US, we just pillage during our little "hate" fests.    Lest I forget:  George, when you "looked" deep into Putin's eyes, that gleam was not happiness, it was avarice...just thought  I'd let you in on that little Putin secret.
     So, now we are back to square one with a major difference:  Islamofascism.  Hmmmm....care to guess which side they will be on now?  Russia shoots first and asks questions later.  We have to put them on trial first and then send them home.  You choose!

           

     I knew that I should have posted immediately after the "conversation" Saturday between Pastor Warren and Obama and then Pastor Warren with McCain.  I am so frustrated with myself.  First, let me say that I watched 99% of it.  I attended my granddaughter's dance recital...and for those of you who have done this, you know it has more to do with pain than attention.  You have to be a close relative to attend these things.  As it was, I watched her in her performance which lasted all of three minutes...and hung in there for the other two hours.  So I missed the first 5-7 minutes and did not do a post!!!! Talk about dumb.
     See? I got off track.  Anyway, this morning I had to return to the theatre to retrieve my "lost" cell phone...I found it and on my way home listened to KABC Radio where Larry Elder was discussing the "conversation" the candidates had with Warren.  The difference between the candidates was so crystal clear that you had to be a blind partisan to see anything else.  It is apparent that the Obama people can't see the noses on their faces or, they can but have to disparage everything to favor their guy!!  They, are you ready? accusing McCain of cheating!! They say that he could not have been so well prepared if he hadn't been listening in the Green Room to their candidate's answers to the questions.   The Green Room is a euphemism for a holding room in media.  A place to wait your turn.  In this particular instance, however, the Green Room at Saddleback had...again, are you ready for it? NO FEED!  I believe that McCain either sat and read magazines, ran over the notes Warren supplied both parties beforehand and probably wished himself anywhere but there.  Still the Obama people have accused McCain, his people, the Pastor and millions of us viewers and listeners of being cheaters.  Why the viewers?  Because the accusation is not a sane piece of business.  The facts, and why ruin the Left with facts for goodness sake, are simple:  Obama is not an experienced candidate in anything but "prepared" speeches, statements and behaviours!  The man is simply an EMPTY SUIT and Saturday proved it. 
     They can say what they will, when they will, where they will, but the truth is so painfully obvious that if he gets elected, I will fear for me, my family and friends and the future of this great nation.  His handlers will have him dancing on their strings because, after all, they poured in the millions.  Soros, Petersen, Gaffen et. al. will rule America and we will be lost!

     Well, at least that is how it appears...this new Neville doesn't look the same, he looks like Sarkozy,  Nicolas, but he is a European.  We are back to thinking we can "handle" the Russian Bear, particularly when it is angry and hungry.  So,  Nicolas has entered into an agreement that if read closely by people who understand words, apparently gives the newly invaded Georgia no room and lots of room and stuff to Vladamir, The Impaler, Putin. 
     Where oh where are the adults?  Where oh where are the people who will take care of business, again?  I sincerely hope that, this time around, it is not America.  Let the Europeans sink or swim in their Nanny States.  The Eastern Europeans need our help, but aside from some sort of nuclear attack, I don't see too much we can do.  Putin has already threatened such an attack over this entire episode.
     You know what I don't understand:  if Barack wins, will he try to out Chamberlain, Chamberlain?  He is of the belief, I think, like most Europeans, Socialists and Left Leaners, that talking is all you can do.  You know, stand around and watch the angry and hungry bear slash and maim at will while they stand far enough away to stay out of harm's way and they talk and talk and talk themselves to death...ultimately that is the only recourse EXCEPT:  GIVING IN!!
     What America has learned these past few years is that talking has solved our drug problem, illegal alien problem, our housing fraud problem, our gasoline problem, in fact, based on the philosophy of TALKING  we should not have any problems...so, why do we still have all of these problems?  Are the bad guys not listening and following good advice?  I mean, folks, let's get real!  Bad people have existed for tens of thousands of years, continue to exist and will always exist....the good folk need to take a stand and beat the bully first.  No? 
     If you are one of those who says only talk, then good luck to you and yours when the animals come looking for victims.  The animals don't care what your politics are.  They don't care what you feel or need or want.  They don't care anything but getting what they want when they want it...period.  So, I'll keep something handy in the event the animals want entry to my home...I will not bend over and close my eyes.  If we won't stand up we don't deserve to have a country like America to call our own, we might just as well join the other 3 plus billion people who have no opportunities, no freedom...indeed, no choice...on this planet.
     Millions of humans over the course of millenniums have taken the easy way out of problems.  They and their kind are no longer around.  Perhaps our time has come? 

  This small bit from Time by Joe Klein in his article of this date "The Incredibility Shrinking Democrats".  A must read to see into the mind of a tinfoil hatted leftist loon obsessed with Obama....their reality if so completely different than mine that I honestly believe it will completely impossible for the two sides of America to come together any time soon:

   "For 40 years, the Republican Party has feasted on the secular humanism, feminism, distrust of the military and permissiveness that caricature such communities. For 40 years, the Democratic Party has been burdened by its inability to break free of those stereotypes."

     Joe's take is pure Obama worship at the alter of a reality that is twisted to harm so many and so much.  Here's my email to Joe of this date, also:

     Joe, the "vulgarity of its questions" by ABC was trying to show who Obama truly is, not as you and the rest wish to paint him.  And, just look, please, at the reality of what 40 years of secular humanism, feminism, distrust of the military..." has wrought on America.  Secular=no rules, only laws that are flouted daily; feminism=hatred for anything male; distrust of the military=fear of an inability to force ideas on an unwilling populace.  Joe, just like Russia, China, Africa, South America, Asia....there is only one place with freedoms that should be the right of each human being:  America and you and your elitists hate us for it!  You truly should be ashamed.

     There is no expectation of a reply, and I am seriously beginning to believe that a complete destruction of this country's freedoms is the end goal for these people.  Then, there will be no place on Earth for humans to leave free.  There is simply too much money directed towards our undoing.  Soros, the guy from Progressive Insurance, Hollywood moguls and "stars", dictators from around the world and the namby, pamby Europeans who are almost completely dependent upon the welfare of the state to survive.

     Is my reality wrong?

     My youngest brother calls every couple of months and has for many, many years.  Much more if he needs my guidance in real estate financing.  I rarely call him because his life is insane and I never know when he can answer the phone, let alone talk.  So, I leave it up to him.  We can be on the phone for minutes or hours.  We talk about everything under the sun.  He is a physicist so when I say "everything" I mean almost everything "under the Sun". 
     Because he is what he is, he has lived in this rarefied world since he was a teenager.  And, since our age difference is 20 years, I wasn't at home when he was born or grew up.  Although I did visit a couple of times.    But, to get back to what I wanted to post about, this last Sunday evening he called and he was telling me that the world economy is not as bad as everyone thinks because (and here's where I may have lost him) money is nothing but information bits passed from one place to another and world citizens all over are getting and passing large fits of information that allows them to purchase stuff.  O.K. so far.  However, when I tried to pin him down about, you know, the "green" stuff he ended up by saying that perhaps he could no longer talk to me about things because the world had and was moving forward at a rapid pace and I would probably not be able to keep up.  That my "thinking" was old and the world was changing.  Imagine it!  Me.  I have spent my life trying, not only to always staying in the real world, but I have watched as literally millions all around this country and the entire planet have finally entered their fantasy world 100%!!  This is my smart.  in subjects, brother.  I never said he was street smart.  But at the very least he could see that there was another side of things. 
     I may have lost a brother last Sunday, he supports Obama!  Wow.  How fast the world is changing!!

     This is the question I asked myself the past two days.  In particular this morning while watching the Pope, Holy Father to Catholics around the world, kneel and pray at Ground Zero at the World Trade Center.  I have watched on Fox Cable, the only channel to give the Pope and his doing more than a 30 second sound bite. 
     Yesterday I enjoyed the Mass very much.  Not as intimate as the mass I attended many, many years ago, but certainly the architecture was simply a masterpiece.  I love the stained glass windows, the pomp and ceremony, the vestal garments and the billowing incense and sprinkled holy water.   This is what church should be for all.  It is food and a balm for the soul of man.  Nothing whatsoever to do with religion, mind you.  Simply is.  Only think, what would your church be without its accouterments:  candles, crosses, linens, flowers, vases and so on and so on.  We human require tangible reminders that church is a different place, or should be.  Church is not a place for hate, but for love, peace, understanding and reconciliation and, finally, penance.  What would be the point of faith, religion or churches if there were not a forgiveness that required penance.  Our modern world, particularly here in America, has lost  that small but vitally important part of being human...penance.  We have taken away the penance for our actions, no matter how outrageous.
     We are told to forgive by everyone, but are never told that it is necessary to the human spirit to also require punishment for wrongs/sins if you will.  I strongly believe it is impossible to forgive someone who walks away from their sin, however, egregious.  Our souls simply cannot forgive, ever unless restitution is made in some form by the offending party.  In many instances, we know that "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it.  Sometimes being sorry is simply not enough.  There are some sins that require the ultimate payment from an offender.  We have not yet reached the evolved point in our humanity that we can know, with certainty, if an sinner can be "mended, cured...fixed".   So, we require penance in some form be paid.  That is also another problem with our modern world.  We have no penance for a majority of the harm that is done because there is a contingent that believes no punishment should be applied to anyone for any reason.  We are awhirl with ADD, ATD, COPD, Post and pre something.  We use initials as a shortcut to say, that person is ill so they are no responsible.  But, we know that most of that "trash talk" is bull.  We know this in the very center of our being, no matter what we try to tell ourselves and others. 
     So, with all of this said, can you have faith without God?  I know for certain you can have faith without religion.  I have met too many who are truly faithful to deny that.  But must there be a god in the equation?  In my case, I lost my :"faith" at 13 on a beautiful sunny day with clear skies.  In an "eureka" moment, I realized there was no "God" and no need for the ritual of churchgoing and I stopped.  More than ten years later, in a bad marriage and pregnant, I thought I had made a terrible mistake by forsaking God.  So, I "lumbered" to church and involved myself and my children.  Although I counseled with the Reverend and prayed mightily and dutifully attended church regularly and consecrated my children to the faith, nothing changed.  I went from Catholic in my youth to lite-Catholic, Episcopal in my young twenties.  So I stopped.
     Got rid of the first husband, understood the Women's Movement was not going to help me in any way.  I was a working Mom before people thought up a political description of it.  Took some stock and a number of years later remarried a man who was 100% faithful to me, loved me and the kids, never lied, never cheated and trusted me.  I embarked on psychology.  Freud, Jung, etc., plus some "earth" type stuff.  Some of which appeared to work and almost most that didn't.  But in the process I learned about the psychology of the brain and therefore the soul.  The psychology of people.  But it would more time to have all of this coalesce into my ultimate philosophy and help run my life another twenty plus years.  I must tell you that in the end result for me was simple:  98% vs. 2% solution.  98% of the population on the planet are in difference levels of evolution and only 2% are evolved high enough to be able to think, reason and behave as humans are meant to.  Think about it.  Look around you.  Check it out for yourself.
     More later.
    

     This morning there was an earthquake in Illinois.  Yep, Illinois.  Home of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright the 8000 congregation and other pastors in pseudo Christian churches preaching hatred like Wright. 
     The earthquake was 5.2 as of early this morning and we will probably know the exact magnitude later.  But for now, for those of us who know about earthquakes (I live in California), a 5.2 isn't some small event.  I mean, God is busy, you know?  He trying to guide folks in getting rid of AIDS in Africa and we, Americans, have it almost whipped.  We're trying to get the word out about that other religion that believes in death and destruction as means of worship.  I mean, his plate is probably full.  I know, I know, he's God right?  But, even God can get overworked, particularly when the hatred spewed at him and his children gets to be so ugly.
     So, God spoke today in Illinois.  I hope they're listening.

P.S. Sorry about the spelling, spellcheck it not working, still....Chris R.?

     Poor Obama and Michelle.  They got into this race thinking "we've got it made"!  The poor white folk won't talk back because our color is just too sensitive an issue, they feel so "guilty".  And, baby, I need lots of new shoes.  But, neither of them counted on what "words" mean did they?  Didn't Barack himself say that "words" are powerful things...."they're just words...?" he told us, remember. 
     Now, he must explain the words he used to describe 70% of America....bittergate? You betcha!! Where in the world did this mess come from?  Obama has his pastor to thank for it and every other pastor and priest or rabbi across America that rails and pitches hatred of this great country and its people every week from pulpits across this country.  Why, what is the difference between a Islam imam preaching hatred and this?  I can't "see" the difference myself only in degree.
     And, just an aside, where do these haters get off thinking they're Christians?  I don't remember hate as being the message Jesus Christ died on that cross for, do you?  And I am an atheist!

And we are beginning to "see" Obama better.  He can't hide as easily anymore.  Although, will he sweep each room thoroughly for bugs before each speech so he can feel free to call us every negative name he can think of?  He has learned well at the feet of his mentor and pastor, Wright.  The Rev. Wright, the owner of that 1.8 million mansion behind the gated community that is 98% white. 

          HYPOCRICY, THEY NAME IS BARACK AND WRIGHT!!

     I was watching Die Hard with a Vengence with Bruce Willis.  This movie came out in l985 and I am sure it took a couple of years to put together before release.  As I watched Bruce Willis as the "put upon white man" who has to do all of the dirty work the cops won't do try to save residents of New York it dawned on me.  The movies and songs of the past thirty-forty years have been telling us precisely what was happing day to day, not only in America, but the world.  Here we a white cop hated by his less than competent brothers and to make matters worse, hated by African Americans too.  The African Americans are represented by Samuel L. Jackson, a great actor and I hope the "hate" he depicted was not real.
     Those of us who have been shaking our heads for a long time trying to figure out where this country made a bad turn and is trying to make a worse turn now, need only go back to, oh, about l970 on in pictures to see not only what was becoming of this great country by people who hated it, but also who was responsible...they were, not us.  That they have turned the tables to make us feel bad and guilty is our bad.  We should know better.  But, I'll write more later, right now I have to go Blockbusters and check out what it is that's available.  Have lots of watching to do!!

     For no good reason, I have not spent the time on the Internet or the blogosphere that I normally do.  I therefore, missed Saint Obama's classless gaffe....we of the unwashed, illiterate, poor, pious middle of
America (actually, anyone who does not believe as St. Obama and his pastor, wife and supporters do)!
     Again, for no good reason, I didn't try hard enough to find out what the saint had said, only that he was
once again claiming to have been misunderstood by us U.I.P.P.'s.  He had no remorse on Friday I gather.
But by Saturday, his tune began to change.  Even as his "pastor" Wright was telling a huge crowd of African
Americans some ugly lies and was being held up by his audience as another "jesus" come to meeting, Obama began twisting himself into something he isn't:  a straight, truthful, knowledgeable individual.  St. Obama does not deserve to serve in any capacity or level of government until he can rid himself of the hatred, revenge and rage he holds in his heart for "us typical white people or UIPPs".  Nor should he.  Can you imagine what the right reverend wright could do to whites if his guy became president.  Lynchings?  No, don't shake your head....after all shootings and beatings are commonplace by African American gang members against whites, hispanics and their own.  Law enforcement officials as well as school officials never find "hate" crimes against African Americans, even when you have videos of them attacking and harming people.  Whites on the other hand can't look askance without having the book thrown at us.
     It is time, finally....finally, to take the blinders we've forced on ourselves OFF!!  Think about this, if anything you say or do can be used to harm you by African Americans, how much worse would it be if we took off the blinders most of us don't have on when it comes to Islamofascists and look what they did and NOT DONE since.  If I must lose my head to some imbecile because of their god, how much worse can it be when we speak truth to the African American power structure?  Dead is dead!!

We now have a clear liar, elitist pussball and an old man on the list of who is after the presidency of this
great country.  The liar will do whatever it takes.  The pussball said this:
     "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot of them — like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they’ve gone through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, and they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
     While speaking to his choir of like minded pussballs with lots of money that Pussball wants.  I know he said "small towns" but I honestly believe he meant to say "anyone who doesn't believe in my way"...he believes himself to be just too clever.  After all, we bought the Wright stuff didn't we.....well, he is wrong and so is his wife, his pastor and his terrorist friends in New York city.  Let's be honest, there is not a tinfoil hatted leftist loon, poor or rich, who doesn't believe exactly what Pussball said, including the Clinton's, their daughter and their "friends" and supporters.  They do not know who we are, what we are or why we are.  It has never occurred to them to try and find anything out about us, we're just the poor unwashed.  Hollyweird is getting a good lesson from the "poor and unwashed".  They're losing money left and right!!

Because a tinfoil hatted leftist loony is better served than you or I:

Freedom

Starbuck should treat all its customers the same....on the left and on the right. For certain words that mean freedom or celebrate our country, it seems that Starbucks does not.
"Si Se Puede" should be on both sides of the aisle. I will not buy another Starbucks from this day forward and will let all my friends neighbors and associates know of your policy.

Check out the Wall Street Journal Editorials to find out what your corporate has been doing.

How many customers can we get them to lose?  Let's see, huh?

Read the whole thing, Wright was wrong!! And he knew it or he is uneducated and uninformed and ignorant!!

"HIV, which is thought to have first emerged in humans in the 1930s, is another kind of virus, known as a retrovirus. These simple viruses are akin to elements found in normal cells that have the ability to copy and insert themselves throughout the genome. There are a number of viruses that have a similar way of copying themselves—a process that reverses the normal flow of information in cells, which is where the term "retro" comes from—and their central machinery for replication may be a bridge from the original life-forms on this planet to what we know as life today. In fact, we carry among our genes many "fossilized" retroviruses—left over from the infection of distant ancestors—which can help us trace our evolution as a species."   courtesy of Scientific American....check out the link!!
