My First "Yurt"

This weekend I stayed in my first "Yurt",
For those of you that don't know what a
Yurt is, you are in for a treat. Amazing
way to camp in these modern times. All the
conveniences of home while camping in a tent.

Joe America challenges the presidential candidates

The Jihad Candidate

The Jihad Candidate

by Rich Carroll

Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. 'The Manchurian Candidate' and 'Seven Days in May' are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader's imagination at best-seller level. 'What if' has always been the solid grist of fiction.

Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.

How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States? As long as it took them to place a Senator from Illinois and Minnesota? The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit? The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America? The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as 'chaplains'?

Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a 'freedom fighter' when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya's history. Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile. Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barack Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question his true ties under the banner of 'racism'. Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies. Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.

Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception, because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen as 'bigoted racism'; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to be informed of facts. Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.

Where is the bloodhound American 'free press' who doggedly overturned every stone in the Watergate case? Where are our nation's reporters that have placed every Presidential candidate under the microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush's 'Skull and Bones' club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work? Why haven't 'newsmen' pursued the 65 blatant lies told by this candidate during the Presidential primaries? Where are the stories about this candidate's cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa? Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent? Why haven't they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this 'out of nowhere' Democrat candidate or the fact that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his 'close pastor friend and mentor' met with Middle East terrorist Muammar Qaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)? Why isn't the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?

As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history. Why has the American mainstream media clammed up on any negative reporting on Barak Hussein Obama? Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton's name but never write his middle name? Is it not his name? Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from mainstream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the truth? Why isn't our media connecting the dots with Islam? Why do they focus on 'those bad American soldiers' while Islam slaughters non-Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe? Why does our media refer to Darfur as 'ethnic cleansing' instead of what it really is: Muslims killing non-Muslims! There is enough strange, anti-American activity surrounding Barack Hussein Obama to pique the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA!?

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qua lified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......


DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes
after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT'
problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and
not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We d on't really care why the chicken crossed the road We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its
life long dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check
book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new
platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .........
reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

A Black Columnist on Obama

A Black Columnist on Obama



Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun



It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.



We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender.



Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.



The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him.



Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.



Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate.



He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.



Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial "beauty.."



Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s.



Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.



Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago.



Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on "the rich.." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes.



His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.



Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have "hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francisco values, not Middle America values.



The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches.



His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.



But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.



It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.




Kind of scary, wouldn't you think



According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:



The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??



I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it!



If you think I am crazy,. I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate

What if the White Man cannot accept Obama or Clinton?

The scary thing about electing Obama or Clinton
is the repercussions of the white man. I don't
mean the educated white man as much as the uneducated
white man. The KKK man or the "red neck" white man.
There are some men who don't appreciate women. There
are some white men who don't appreciate people of color.
Herein lies the dilemma.
If either Obama or Clinton are elected, there are
people out there who are not going to enjoy having
them be our President. For a nickel and a cup of coffee,
they may decide that we don't need them in office and
well , you know what I am saying. I do believe that we
have some lunatics in the world, Charles Manson and
company being part of that group, and they are not
governed by the same set of rules that we abide by.
Given the opportunity, or by chance waking up one
morning in an irritable mood,could cause someone
to make a bad judgement call. These people that
are crazy and set off by different emotions than average
white men, may hear another drummer if you know what
I mean. I am not implying any of this , I just bring
it up as a potential future prediction. I hate to say
I told you so.

But What If?

Florida Mean Teens

What if we let the Florida Mean Teens get away with what
they have done? What are the consequences for our own
children?
What amazes me the most is that a whole group of kids
decide to beat up one girl. Were all of them so jealous
or envious of this one girl that they would plan such an
event? Were all of them in need collectively for so much
attention that they would organize into a lynch mob to
execute such action so that they could be on TV and get
national attention?
The Virginia Tech situation was one demented child who
struck back at his peer group for whatever was his reason,
but how do you bring together a whole group of other
people to carry out your own emotional sickness and
persuade all of them to feel the same way you do?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out and what the
answers are from the defendants. With Dr. Phil getting
involved in the fracas and getting even more attention, will
probably lead to more "copycat situations" and we will be
hearing about more beatings for national attention in the
future.
If the media would just let it die or if we are going to
have to be subjected to this day and night, just maybe
the judge who gets the case can impose the maximum
penalty allowed to make examples of the Florida mean teens.
What if they don't? What if they let them get away with
a slap on the hand? We as a society will be in real trouble.
We as a society are getting to the point where anything and
everything is ok. or at least accepted or tolerated. We can
only hope that justice will prevail and that we as a society
will soon come to our senses.
What If we don't?

What if we elect Clinton or Obama?

Everyone is complaining about Bush. Everyone is blaming the
economy and the price of gas on the Republicans. At which
point did President Bush or the Republicans raise the cost
of gasoline or change the economy? We are all Americans,
the Congress dictates which laws are passed and put
before the American people.
What if we elect Clinton or Obama? So far I have only
heard fussing and fighting and denouncement, or
ridicule of each other. Not what I really look for
in a Presidential candidate.
Where or when are we going to hear about the issues?
How would they settle the war? How would they change
the economy? How would they fix the social security
if there is a problem?
Every time you think they might address the questions
of the day one of them slips up and says something
that the media doesn't like, so they blow it all out
of proportion and the general population has a new topic
over the water fountain the next morning.
Does McCain have all the answers? Probably not. At least
he is not out there on the campaign trail avoiding
the issues.
You might not always agree with him , but you are not
always going to agree with the other candidates either.
What if we scrap the whole lot of them and get some
other people to run. Someone without a grudge or
bad feeling in their bones. Somebody like Aunt Bee
from Mayberry or Gomer Pyle. Oh wait, you say they
are just made up characters or actors and actresses.
Do you see where I am going with this? What is the
difference between them and what we have running
for office now? I am not saying we should change anything.
I am just asking What If?

What if we give up on Critical Thinkers?

I am really dismayed to hear people talk, especially
teachers about the government program "No Kids Left
Behind". In our state we have the SOL's that every
student must pass in order to move ahead one grade.
The students today are ruling the roost as they
used to say, and teachers have to work really hard
to teach them and to keep them in line. That is
another blog all together.
Critical Thinking.
If we don't start back to teaching the students
critical thinking, how is this future generation
going to be able to make decisions, and how are they
ever going to be able to run the country?
Most kids that I meet want instant gratification,
have shallow values, and are looking for quick fixes
on everything.
By learning to learn in order to pass the SOL's is
not leaving the teachers any time to teach intellectual
traits, standards or abilities at any time. The students
themselves are self educating themselves at home in
front of the TV or through friends, and trying to
decide how to make sense of the world through the media.
They need to become more intellectually fit.
A well educated person is able to reason quite directly
and deliberately.
We must develop students who reason through what
they are learning so as to grasp the logic of their
reasoning, students who know clearly the difference
between coming to terms with the logic of something
or merely rotely memorizing it.
This is what we are teaching them by remembering
the answer for the test instead of developing
their own thought on how they came up with the answer.
Teachers need to design instructions so that students
take command of the logic of their own thinking while
they are thinking and through that insightful grasp,
they can improve it.
How can we teach our students to begin to recognize
the inferences they are making, the assumptions
they are basing these inferences on, and the point
of view, and the perspective on the world that they
are beginning to form or inherit?
How can we help students to recognize how they are
reasoning about the world?
They need to gain command over their thinking.
They need to build intellectual muscle to overcome
inherent self deceptive tendencies.
They need to cut through the propaganda and learn to
think for themselves.

You can take a simple inference and look at it several ways.
The kids today take the most logical route, what they have
heard or seen and do not tend to think of the different
inferences.

For example:

Situation: A man is sitting on the side of the road
Assumption: only lazy people sit on the side of the road
Inference: That man is lazy.

Situation : A man is sitting on the side of the road
Assumption : anyone sitting on the side of the road could
be in trouble.
Inference : that man may need help.

These are simple. But the students today are given mostly
questions of multiple choice and they are to choose the
most logical answer. This is simple enough but does not
teach them critical thinking about the other possibilities.
Critical Thinking is important to their future and the
world's future. We need a generation of quality thinkers
who think for themselves and make the right decisions
based on clear and perceptive thinking. It just doesn't
seem to me that the kids today are learning this in
school. Only time will prove me wrong....or right.

What if we run out of water ?

Somebody had better wake up and smell the
water. We are slowly running out of water.
Does anyone understand that? We need water
to sustain ourselves. We need water to
irrigate our land to grow our food. Does
anyone understand that? There are three
countries that grow the majority of wheat
that feeds the world. China, India,and
the United States. Ask me where we are
having the largest shortage of water?
I know we need to solve the gas problem.
However, all of you people out there who
are drinking bottled water, can't seem
to put it together exactly what you are
paying for that water. At one dollar each
for a 16 ounce size of water, equates to
$4.00 a gallon. As of today, we are not
even paying that much for a gallon of
gasoline, and yet everyone complains
about the cost of gas, but no one
complains about the cost of water.
Everything I read says that it takes
four quarts of water to make one quart
of water that we buy. Another group is
telling me that most of the social
water that we are buying is coming
straight out of the tap,and companies
are putting fancy labels on them,calling
them a fancy name and charging Joe Customer
big bucks for what they get out of the tap.
If we keep this up we are destined to run
out of water in the future...unless of
course our children learn how to distill
ocean water into usable water. I have an
idea. Let's run a hose from our sink and
bathtub to the commode and recycle our
bath water for flushing. I wonder if I
can patent this idea.
Conserve the water.
We need it to grow up with and so do our
children.

Tom Bush Eulogy

Tom we shared the best of times and the worst of times.
Today is the worst of times. You have been there for me
for 45 years. Today we are here for you. You have touched
all of our lives in one way or the other. That is what
brought each of us here today. I could fill a book of 300
pages or more about the times we have shared together. I
won't do that today. But I will thank you for your love,
your inspiration, your guidance and especially for your
friendship all of these years. I am sure you know how I
feel because I told you often. I still doubt if it was
ever enough. We knew each other pretty well.
You knew when I was hurting and I knew when you
were hurting. I am hurting now. I am sure you know that.
You were always there for me and you always
showed me that you cared. It was never what
do you want? It was always how can I help?
Late night talks, two hour lunches, going to plays, the
beach at New Years, the mountains, reunion planning, so
many good times shared between two friends. I will miss
you. I will pine for you. I will call your name in the night.
You will be there for me but you won't answer. That is o.k.
I will still know that you are there. These memories will
sustain me till we meet again.
I love you Tom, my buddy.Larry Oldham 1\14\08

What if the Economy does not bounce back?

All of my retail friends are complaining about
their slow traffic and business in their stores.
When I ask them what can they do about it , they
all agree that they will just have to wait it out.
My question to them would be, what would happen
if the economy does not bouce back?
Where would we be without business? The economy
is in a negative way today. All of the no sale
situation is in a trickle down mode. Construction
is down, furniture is down, new car sales are down,
transportation is down, food cost are up , gasoline
is up, clothing is up, but business is down. If no
one is doing business and business as we know it
comes to a halt, then what becomes of our world as
we know it. Read history. The great depression of
1929 caused many castrophe's in society. Deaths,
business failures, marriage dissolution, etc.etc.
We are in that same position today. Credit card
debt, high payments, overextended debt, unhappiness
in marriage, business, and life in general.We are
headed in a dangerous direction. Someone must
stop us. Someone must find a solution. Without
answers we are heading into a precarious position
of life that none of ever dreamed of. We are
headed into a world of the unknown. We are headed
into the Time Zone of a past history that is in
danger of repeating itself. No one is going to like
it and everyone is going to be shocked at this new
quality of life or the lack of it. We have been
pampered too long and no one seems to understand
or has the foresight to rescue us. We are coming
up on a destiny of shock that we have never perceived.
There is a danger lurking on the horizon of a life
so poor, and so unforgiving that many of us will
likely go bananas. I could be wrong. The economy
could bounce back, we could pay off our credit
cards, refinance our homes, all buy new cars and
live happily ever after. But I don't think so. I
hate to play what if, but What If ?

What if we didn't celebrate St.Patrick's Day?

Today is Saint Patrick's Day all over the world.
What if we didn't celebrate? No Green Beer, No
lucky cloverleafs, no wearing green to work, and
no speaking like a little green leprechun. I don't
guess people would mind.
We have sort of got use to all the holidays that
people are telling us we should celebrate.
What about Ground Hogs Day. It is not really a
Federal Holiday that we get benefit from, except
to gleam information from the weather pro's. Or
in this case a groundhog, which by the way, gets
it right about as often as those high paid TV
commentators.
Back to St Pat. I probably have Irish friends,and
I don't want to offend them. When is Italian Day?
What day does German Day come? What about Christian
Day? I guess that could count as Christmas. I will
admit I am a little jealous of my black friends. I
mean they have a whole month. February is considered
Black History Month. Maybe March could be considered
Green History Month.
This may catch on . Instead of HOLI-DAYS why don't
we have HOLI-MONTH'S. Then we could have more days
off, celebrate the true spirit of Saint Patrick's Day
by wearing green all month, and drinking green beer
all month. I don't know about you , but it works for me.
What if?

To Be or Not to Be?

Sitting around this morning I decided
to play the what if game. This led me
to more wrestling with myself about
what would happen if I changed directions.
If I went West instead of North. If I
rode my bike instead of driving my car?
The problem though, is that I only have
one choice and if I take the safe one,
I am pretty assured of reaching one
destination. If I choose another choice
only fate can determine what would happen.
The only way I can choose both is...well
I can't choose both really. So I choose
the safe way and end up in the same drivel
that I always do. I am trying to learn to
try another route, choose another scene,
make an effort to make my world a different
world depending on my choices. I take it
one minute at a time . It is my choice.
