jobeth, first, thanks for that wonderful complement. I always find your posts interesting as well. This site is blessed to have a lot of female posters who bring in the better side of conservatism.

I noticed your comment about your husband’s polio. Mrs. Reason was read last rights in an iron lung when she was eleven years old. She beat that one but has had to struggle with the aftermath of polio for her entire life. It destroys the muscles as you know, and the survivors all learned to use muscles designed for different purposes. Late in life, THAT coping mechanism fails and brings back all the pain and agony again. In June, she will have another operation that we hope will give her some relief from the pain. Whether it does or not, she will never give up. Never.

She cannot be defeated. I’ll bet your husband is the same way. Having survived a horror like that, polio survivors become unstoppable. They are amazing people, and testaments to the power of determination.

(ps: she loathes Obamy. Saw where he was coming from the first minute.)

Pretty difficult to claim THIS is Bush’s fault, but they’ll try.

“President Obama’s media cheerleaders are hailing how loved he is. But at the 100-day mark of his presidency, Mr. Obama is the second-least-popular president in 40 years.”

Finally, some sanity in an insane press.

Catie, I’m going through much the same thing with my cousin, who accused me of racism for not voting for Obalmy and I get screamed at by a church “friend” because of “torture”.

I think I had a real break down today with all that is happening (politically) today….and every day. I just sat and cried. This stuff isn’t the only thing that is bothering me but this is by far the worse.

Everything else I can work on and have power over if I just apply it.

What is going on right now in Washington is something I have no control over at all. (Other than my one little vote and my one small voice)

These libs drive me crazy they are so stupid and blind. If it wasn’t so serious and all this happening so fast, I wouldn’t be so “crazy”.

I’m beginning to feel a LOT like Beck now… :-)

Talk about ridding the world of the “wrong” kind of people….I have a button that says…”Stupid people shouldn’t breed!” That includes your cousin, my cousin and my “friend” at church. They are losers by choice,

You, Gov. Palin and I as well as many others who have children in their families who have what the world views as mental or emotional or physical deficits know how much these children bless us. How much WE get from THEM. How much we LEARN from them.

My own husband contracted polio as a baby in England in the late 40s. If Hitler had won the war in England, he would have been euthanized. A more kind, hard working man cannot be found. Yet in some eyes HE should have been killed and losers like you mentioned are to be spared. Nuts…just plain nuts.

Pro…The other day you told me that you didn’t get into get into what constituted torture much. I had some problem understanding your answer because I am by nature a problem solver. That means I tackle what I perceive is the base of the problem…ie what constitutes torture.

Reading your answer today and coupling that with all that has been going on with me today and my crying jag from frustration…your answer makes perfect sense to me now.. That’s at least the second time I’ve read your comments, and had to ponder them for a while, then understood. Keep up with your wisdom kiddo, we need you.

Sorry Steve if my comments were slightly off target, but I really need to share this stuff today….Its been a hard day for me.

Pro, this guy is the ultimate in scum. My folks took him, his two sisters and mother in for three years a month before I was born but he did make a point to say “euthanized” instead of gunned down.
Loser.

This president is so arrogant, he makes Clinton look humble. All he needs is a leather fedora with a large feather and some gold chains. Pride comes before the fall, elections happen in the Fall, and maybe at the rate obomber is pimping, Americans will find some real leaders next year.

Hitler was a comunity organizer, too.

Terrific news. And such good timing. Right before Obama’s pep rally Wednesday night.

When Obama’s popularity ratings are in the 30′s, the MSM will be comparing the ratings to some point when Bush’s were lower, and they will be emphasizing the rock-solid commitment of his ~~voters~~ fans.

catie: “euthanized”? wow.

You know, I always say that the whole “debate” about torture is really about power, because liberals would gladly pull your finngernails out if that would help gain control over your life.

Your cousin proves my point.

Your cousin also proves my point that liberals are criminals voting for like kind.

The whole anti-war thing is a charade as well. What they mean is they are anti YOUR war.

Didn’t Doris Kearns Goodwin get in some trouble for plagiarism a few years back? And as for Jon Meacham, O’Reilly had him on last night and he would not denounce the editorial the NYT ran this past Sunday showing the Statue of Liberty with a whip so there is obviously a void there that he cannot overcome but I digress. . .
When I read this this morning in the Washington Times, I was a bit surprised it wasn’t on the front or at least the third page. I think it it is quite interesting that his approval letters are so low. He did run a debate pretending to be a conservative and frankly that’s all many people paid attention to. Most of us have jobs to do and weren’t able to go to his campaign rallys. I don’t know what debate those two were watching but it wasn’t the same one most Americans watched. The MSM did a great job of hiding what his real agenda was during the campaign focusing on the hope and change mantra and how mean conservatives were.
OT: my father will soon be 80 and we’re having a party for him. I just received an RSVP from my cousin who told me he didn’t mind having his taxes increased to help the poor and down trodden. He got mad at me because I told him that he should give his money to charity instead. Of course he didn’t like that and told me that kids like my daughter and Sarah Palin’s son really need to be euthanized as they were such a drain on the government. Of course his son his a loser, drug addict, and has been in and out of jail a number of times and cannot get a decent job or a job with benefits. He feels the government should take care of loser 30 year old son with children out of wedlock. If I live to be 100, I will never figure out liberals.
