I've been feeling a bit burned out on politics lately so I told my mom that my next post would have nothing to do with politics. But Bobo really pissed me off this time. He is determined to convince the lemings - oops I mean mainstream America - that the terror and death of September 11, 2001 never happened. The inexplicable act of flying a jumbo jet - one of the Air Force One jets no less - being chased by F16's at a low altitude over Ground Zero without informing the public is reprehensible. The result of this type of activity by the administration is meant to desensitize Americans and open the doors for terrorists.
My latest submission to the TNT (they didn't print my last letter):
It seems like every day Barack Obama or a high-ranking official in his administration is apologizing to the American people for some boneheaded move, the latest being Monday's Air Force One accompanied by two F-16 fighter jets for a "photo op" over lower Manhattan.
Workers in New York and New Jersey were again terrorized by the sight of a low-flying commercial size jet, believing they were about to experience a repeat of 9/11/01. Thousands fled their work places and ran into the streets in a panic.
Apparently the NYPD was informed of the "exercise" a week in advance, but someone forgot to tell Mayor Bloomberg let alone the public.
What was the purpose of this exercise in the first place? Why fly over Manhattan? Who will pay for the downtime for the employers of the panic stricken? Since this was a military mission, why not fly low over the Pentagon and White House where everyone could have been easily informed ahead of time? And what about the cost to the taxpayer for the use of military assets and fuel waste? Why didn't they just photo shop the scene?
Most importantly, how could anyone - especially the president of the USA - think it's okay to fly commercial aircraft in the restricted zone over Ground Zero without informing the people first? Mayor Bloomberg called it "insensitive". I call it "incompetent".

National TEA Day
I was front and center yesterday on the capital steps in Olympia, joining my fellow Americans across the country protesting the Obamanation that is rapidly ruining our country. Less than 100 days into his dictatorship - oops I mean administration - Bobo and his puppetmasters have managed to undo almost everything good about America. But, I'm preaching to the choir.
April 15, 2009 was one of the most exciting days of my adult life. To participate in a nationwide protest of such importance with fellow Americans - from all walks of life - was nothing less than amazing.
In addition to the hundreds of T.E.A. signs displayed, here is a sampling of other signs I saw:
I LOVE MY COUNTRY, IT'S THE GOVERNMENT I FEAR
TAXED TO DEATH - AND BEYOND
TEA HAS VALUE - DUMP THE POLITICIANS
MY PIGGY BANK IS NOT YOUR PORK BARREL
TELEPROMPTERS AGAINST SOCIALISM
and my favorite,
AMERICA HAS A BAD CASE OF B.O.
My sign read I "HOPE" I HAVE SOME "CHANGE" LEFT IN 4 YEARS. It's featured on slide 2 of KIRO TV's photo montage. I also saw myself on channel 7 news for about five seconds.
Although this was a nationwide protest, Bobo did not issue a comment or acknowledge the collective anger of his subjects - oops I mean - constituents. The liberal media, namely MSN.com, CNN.com, and MSNBC.com did not even publish a story on their website front page about the biggest anti-government protest in 30 years.
The fact that these TEA parties (TP's?) were held across the country in accordance with the First Amendment (the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances) is truly a historic moment for my generation. There was no violence, no fires set, no windows smashed, no teargas dispensed, no specific group represented... just you and me and the guy down the street.
For Bobo and the puppetmasters NOT to respond to yesterday's events is the ultimate disrespect of the Constitution. We've petitioned the government with our grievances, and now we have the right to redress.

Twenty Five Years Later...
I've been torturing myself with reruns of Dynasty on DVD. When the program first came out (January 12, 1981) I was seventeen. I remember it being the raciest show on TV - of course I had nothing to compare it to as the only channel we could receive back then was ABC - so I had never seen Dallas (which was on CBS). Cable television technology had not yet reached my home in Maple Valley.
This time around, being "a few years older" and aware (and a conservative), I noticed things in the story lines that I hadn't thought about before. I'm only to Season 3, but I can say that so far I'm amazed at how some things today really haven't changed that much, and some things have done a complete 360.
Consider this:
The pilot program aired Jan. 12, 1981, which means the story lines were written a minimum of a year prior to air - deep within the Carter administration and prior to President Ronald Reagan assuming office.
One of the opening scenes depicts Americans being evacuated from "somewhere in the Middle East" due to oil wars and anti-American riots. One of the characters (played by John Saxon rather poorly by the way) was portrayed as an oil-rich Saudi tycoon with nothing but money and revenge on his mind. This was years prior to the Gulf War, mind you - and the first World Trade Center bombing.
An episode in the third season has Blake pleading with the government to extend his funding for his shale-oil extraction and processing research project (over 25 years later, we'll still debating this subject - that, and drilling, of which Blake was obviously in favor). He hooks up with his seemingly wimpy, paid-for congressman and demands that the congressman use political contacts to be sure the bail-out goes through - or the congressman can write off Blake's generous campaign contributions. But during their initial meeting, the congressman clearly tells Blake several times that his party was outnumbered in congress and not to count on the funding. (I also noticed that during the program they called him congressman but his title in the credits was senator - oops.)
In just two years (1981 - 1983 so far) this show covered many other social subjects that we still are still struggling with: homosexuality (remember, AIDS hadn't surfaced yet and homosexuality was still very much in the closet. Rock Hudson appeared a couple of seasons later, ironically dying of AIDS in real life causing a major scandel when he kissed Linda Evans on screen); abortion; divorce; adoption; mental illness; child-parent kidnaping; drug abuse; alcoholism; domestic violence; and even a perv/rapist family member.
I hope everyone reading this will stop and take stock of (or research) the differences, similarities, and stalemates of the issues above, and if we have failed as Republicans, WHY? What can we do to preserve our Constitution?
I've had several people in the past week that have said to me, "there's nothing I can do about it". I called their BS. I'M doing something about it. YOU the PCRP are doing something about it. All over the country, people are beginning to do something about it. So whatever your own personal "it" subject is, there most certainly is something you can do about it.
*****
I want to wish everybody a very happy Easter Sunday. May God bless the children, America, and ALL Americans.

Five Unexpected Angels
Once again, the extended community of Graham must cope with a devastating loss of our children, this time due to the incomprehensible, violent, murderous act of their own father.
I'm sure my neighbors are aware that I can be overly protective of my immediate neighborhood. I don't mean to be the cop of the cul-de-sac, but I can't help it. I have no patience for stupid people. Those who let their pets run loose, drive too fast, are too loud and have no regard for others. I admit it - I'm the one that polices the 'hood.
Even though I have lived through a couple of neighbor disputes, and perhaps there are some that resent me for "sticking my nose in their business" (I've had to deal with dogs running loose from three different irresponsible households) but I'd bet if their homes were being burglarized, or God forbid a domestic situation was going on, and I was the one that noticed and called 911 these same people would appreciate my vigilance - but only if they were the victims and not the perpetrators.
The father that aimed a rifle at his five children and shot them each several times - the last putting up enough of a fight to wreck the bathroom - should have been reported long before he snapped. I went to the murder site this afternoon to pray for the children. Those mobile homes are barely 20 feet apart. I find it very hard to believe none of the neighbors heard the gunshots, or at the very least, the last terrified daughter screaming and pleading and physically fighting with her own father, begging him not to kill her.
Of course, I wasn't there and I can't say what happened. What I can say, is it's better to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings, and don't be afraid to get involved. Better to possibly save the lives of women, children and even pets by calling the authorities than to worry about whether or not your scumbag neighbor causing the trouble will be pissed at you for it... right? There are too many people out there that don't want to get involved, mostly for fear of retaliation. I'd rather be known as the tattletale than to wake up to murdered children in my neighbor's house.
I hope everyone will think about these five unexpected angels this Easter week, and include them in your prayers.
God Bless America, and ALL Americans - and God Bless the children.
