The Best Week . . . In a Loooong Time
I agree with Charles Krauthammer. This has been a great week. Thank you Massachusetts for electing Scott Brown, '41; and thank you Supreme Court, for standing up for the First Amendment; and bye-bye, Air America; and thank you conservatives everywhere--Dems, Reps, Independents--whoever you are--for helping to start the Second American Revolution. Oh, and P.S. Happy One-Year Anniversary to Obama. Who would have thought we'd be feeling this good at the end of his first year in office?
If I could put my feelings about this past week to music, I know just what song I would choose. It just seems to fit my mood: Don McClean's "American Pie," 1972. Where were you?
About Me
- Labwriter
- The last time I was politically active was in the spring of 1970 when I was arrested with 300 other people in Washington Park, Denver, Colorado, for protesting the Kent State shootings. I've been forced out of "retirement" because of the narcissistic lunatic who has his sites set on making over our country into something I don't recognize. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." --Edmund Burke. Oh, and P.S. I've been proud of my country for my entire life, adult and otherwise, and I wasn't even handed someone else's seat at Princeton or Harvard. P.P.S. Unlike Thomas L. Friedman, "brilliant [just ask him], award-winning" NYT's columnist, who believes the internet is "an open sewer," I myself am completely over-the-moon about the internet and its creative possibilities.

Yes, I can actually get quite childish at times with my criticism of Obama. So sue me.

United States Flag
Flag of my grandfathers and fathers, uncles, brothers, and sons who fought for this country so that we can all speak our minds, so that no one in this country will be told to "sit down and shut up." And don't give me grief: I know this is the flag of the "mothers" as well. The mothers in my family stayed home and watched and waited and worked and buried their dead when they needed to. God Bless them all.
Gadsden Flag
Flag of my Denton and Campbell Revolutionary War-fighting ancestors. They never sat down, and they never shut up, and they would be ashamed of me if I stood by and watched Obama use his socialist agenda to trample the Constitution.
Frisian Flag
Flag of my Roorda and Hoekstra Dutch ancestors from the Province of Friesland, the Netherlands. My great-uncle and his wife, and other people in his community, received the Certificate of Honor from Israel for risking their lives during the Holocaust period to save persecuted Jews. Tell them to sit down and shut up? I don't think so.
These Colors Don't Run
We want our country back

did you know that "American Pie" was the name written on the nose of the aircraft that Buddy Holly died in...?
Yes, nobackin', I've heard that--is it true? I like to believe it's true, since it fits into how I understand the meaning of the lyrics.
