Have you ever met a person or group of people that you simply just like? I have and they are Marines! My brother-in-law proudly served 3 tours in Iraq - Captain Adam Mathes.

At his recent wedding - finely dressed hot Marines were everywhere. Really there were only 8 in uniform, one of those being the groom, but it felt like more. This was a single woman's dream. One of those dreams that when you wake up, you roll over, and pray to fall back asleep to start dreaming again. As a happily married woman, (to an equally hot man) I stood back and watched from a gentle distance.

I haven't had the privilege of spending much time with these fine men, but have been privileged to stories about their amazing service to our Country.

Now for share time. Two of those amazing Marine Officers are also amazing writers.

My brother-in-law sent numerous emails and letters home from his 3 tours in Iraq. My husband Benjamin (amazing actor and teacher) turned Adam's war-time writings into a one man show called 'Fallujah Good'. Check it out.

War and Women Written by Captain Alexander Martin, United States Marines. Alex's stuff is crazy good. A review by me wouldn't do it justice. You won't be disappointed!

OK, so go read it already.

RR Quote of the Day

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
~ Ronald Reagan

Beyond Rude!

Unbelievable. I don't know what's worse - Representative Lee or the fact Americans voted for her. Check out Freedom's Lighthouse and the below link.

Town Hall - Texas

Love me some Megyn Kelly!

Just answer the question, a simple 'Yes' or 'No' would suffice. The arrogance of Bill Burton and the rest of the Obama Administration is outrageous. The Presidential Records Act requires all documents, communications, etc of an administration be kept for public review/analysis. Clearly our email addresses are not being deleted because of PRA.
The real question is, why didn't Burton want to admit that the emails won't be deleted? Call me a conspiracy theorist but there is more behind this Flag@WhiteHouse.gov email address.

You have to LOVE Megyn Kelly!!

Un-American, really?

Does Pelosi even understand what it means to be Un-American? Over the last few years, organizations like Code Pink, Moveon.org, Acorn, and Westboro Baptist Church have wreaked havoc at Senate Hearings, through propaganda, voter fraud, and even by protesting Military funerals. Granted Pelosi has had her run-ins with Code Pink, WBC hates everyone, and well Moveon.org and ACORN are a different story; but she has never characterized these individuals as Un-American.

Code Pink - would like for us to think they are a group of peace loving women that wear pink. The reality is this organization is full of CRAZIES! Check out a few of their stunts: Code Pink being removed from a Gonzales hearing, with bloody hands coming toward then Secretary of State Condi Rice, and sleepover protest at Pelosi's home. Pelosi was mad about the sleepover, but not once did she say they were Un-American. Why didn't she? Because they are LIBERALS! Contrary to her statement -"You're not my constituents" they really are - that is what votes for her. If you can find a link where Pelosi is referring to Code Pink as Un-American - let me know because I couldn't.

Moveon.org - would like Americans to believe they are a non-profit group that stands by the motto "Democracy in Motion". The reality is this non-profit is a propaganda spreading, liberal, George Soros funded machine. What have they been up to lately? Raising money to fight right wing extremist, and attacking Sarah Palin. On to George Soros. He is one of the wealthiest men in the world. Some politicians are merely puppets for a cash cow in the back room. Enter stage left, liberal cash cow - George Soros. It is estimated that he spent $26 million of his own money in an effort to defeat Bush.

ACORN - Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Blah, blah, blah. Their mission statement should be: An Organization that aims to spend millions of taxpayer dollars registering all the Disney characters before the next election. Our hope for equality includes the destruction of our current society. I think that's fitting. Glad to see Criminal Charges against some of the Acorn workers.

Westboro Baptist Church- would like to be considered a Church. This group disgusts and scares me. What this group does to undermine the Christian faith should make all Christians furious. When you protest the funeral of a fallen Military hero then you have crossed the line. These aren't simple protests. The WBC members ruin what should be the final goodbyes these families deserve. Isn't it ironic, WBC protests the deaths of those that sustain their right to protest. Check out the motorcycle ministry that is protesting back!

As Speaker of the House, Pelosi should understand that even if Americans are expressing views that don't align with her Liberal agenda they are simply exercising one of the greatest gifts we have. Instead of calling those protesters Un-American, she should have praised their passion and looked past her politic affiliation. The First Amendment is essential to our Freedom - no matter how crazy the viewpoint.

Reflection

America's history is lost with our constant need for progression and lack of interest in where we've been, but reflection provides clarity. In order to progress, first you have to know where you've been.
Democracy didn't just happen. The first Colonists risked everything for freedom. There's something to be said for struggle. The grit and determination it takes to reach your goal brings satisfaction and pride for what you've achieved.
I feel a connection to the American Colonist. The frustrations they must have felt every time British law was imposed upon them. A clear disconnect can be seen between the Colonist and the British Parliament. Just like the disconnect many Americans currently feel towards our government.
Before the current Tea Party protests, I reflected little on the Boston Tea Party. What a sight that must have been! Colonists, real Patriots, climbing aboard ships and dumping the taxed tea into the Harbor. Screaming crowds, the sound of gun fire, and the aroma of tea in the air. A brewing Revolution. That brewing Revolution is why America is that 'shining city on the hill' that so many want to be part of.
Fast forward to 2009. Democracy, and the freedom it secures, nurtured the richest Country this world has ever seen. A Capitalistic Free Market, competition based structure led to the economic sustainment of the US and World economies. A powerful Military continues to honor and protect our freedoms while delivering others to theirs. Clearly democracy, freedom, and capitalism work, and, under a limited government, flourish.
What is the thought process behind moving away from this Democracy towards Socialism?
There are two groups of thought. The first are individuals that actually feel the Government serves the needs of its people with greater efficiency than relying on individual achievement. Those people look toward higher taxation, larger governmental programs, and establishing what they deem 'fairness' for all. This group feels as strongly toward these ideals as I do toward the opposite. Yes, they have that right. Well meaning people, but misguided in their views.
The second group is simply exercising social warfare in order to achieve power. The interest of the American people lays by the wayside as they pit lower, middle, and upper socioeconomic classes against each other. This will restructure America into 2 groups - the even poorer and the people who support the poor. A middle class will no longer exist because it has been stretched to thin. This will result in a continuously growing block of voters that rely on Liberals being in office to sustain their livelihood.

Consider this the beginning.

Ask & You Shall Receive

The Obama Administration needs our help! They feel Americans are being misinformed with regards to Healthcare. I couldn't agree more. Americans are being misinformed and it is coming straight from Pennsylvania Avenue.

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Yes, this is a huge waste of Government time. Huge waste. But if the Government isn't wasting time and money then, what is the government doing?

Since the Administration is asking for my help - I am giving it. Flag@Whitehouse.gov is about to receive numerous emails from little old me!

What's Fishy? How about a bill that does nothing to improve the Healthcare of Americans. How about a 700+ page bill that no one has read or will read. How about a bill that allows the government access to my medical records, pays for abortions, and reduces the coverage our elderly will receive.

Watch list here I come.

Keep Pissing Us Off!

I love when Americans get pissed off! HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Senator Arlen Specter have a dazed and confused look on their faces. Thanks to the liberal media they've never answered a tough question in their lives.

I can't wait until everyone is voted out of office.
