CRAZY!!!

I don't have anything to say, Divide and Conquer...IS that the agenda of the White House? Do they only care about leading the people that agree with them? If they only care about those people and their opinions can the rest of us do our thing and they can do theirs? Maybe we could divide it down the middle somewhere in Kansas. See how long the progessive way of life works when they only have their own supporters to support them? No more fighting!! Problem solved!!

I CAN'T I'M BUSY

My co-worker and I contacted several applicants over the past few days. Why you ask? Because we need people to work. I am sure you can understand our frustration given the current sate of our economy. We heard every excuse in the book, or we were just told oh yes thanks I would be happy to take a job...Only to have them not call back like they were supposed to. So just in case there was a failure to communicate we call them back only to have our calls avoided. How nice it must be to not have a job, be offered a job, and not take the job. How does one live without a job? This is our frustration of the day... Are we just making it easy for people to not work. Has the incentive to work been thrown out the window with entitlement programs. Is it up to the ones that do work to support the ones that don't work? Why is it in a government full of SMART PEOPLE, we can't find a way to cut out FRAUD, To find a way to put in programs that help only those who help themselves, and by that I don't mean help themselves to other peoples hard earned money. How come our system only seems to help you if you have completely screwed it all up and don't even bother to try and fix it on your own...It seems like the only people getting help are the ones that are full of excuses and won't take any responsibility for why their lives are where they are in the first place. Don't get me wrong... Lots of people need help but are we helping the right people... Are we helping the people who need a hand up and will learn to stand on their own that want to stand on their own and will eventually be self sufficient or are we helping people who have no intention of ever standing on their own... only learning how to work and manipulate the system never amounting to anything more. People who have no conscious about doing so... Do you think these people actually stop to think that there is someone out there punching a time clock, working sometimes more than one job to make ends meet that is paying for them to watch daytime TV on cable paid for with someone else's money... It used to be that people were happy just to get a little help with food through food stamps or from the charity of others..Or maybe some extra training paid for by the government so that they could get a better job... Now it seems like the expectations are to live a life where everything is taken care of!!! Where does this mentality come from and why aren't we trying to fix that? Isn't it the foundation that needs fixed. The place where this mentality is being bred and passed on from person to person... Make people step up the plate and they will... give them the option and it is clear that many will opt out from the hard work or any work at all.

MY LETTER TO THE FLAG@WHITHOUSE.GOV

As I watch the news, which if I wanted to live in peace and happiness, I would probably not but watch episodes of Friends instead. Except for the smart ass comments of my husband wondering how many times I can watch reruns of Friends. Him I can tolerate. I can't tolerate MSNBC and CNN talking about the citizens of this country calling them Angry Mobs and plants from the Republican party. Oh yeah doesn't GE own MSNBC? Maybe I'm wrong... Didn't GE set up a corp that will be the biggest beneficiary of the CAP AND TRADE BILL? What about GE and it's other new company HEALTHYMAGINATION. I wonder what kind of company that is!!! Oh I know I know the liberal answer to any of this would be..What about Halliburton!!?? Well I guess we could spend the next 8 years placing blame on who was at fault while we continue further down the slippery slope of socialism.. Or we could open our eyes and pay attention. Something we should have been doing already. Getting involved in the process that makes this Country GREAT!!! OK OK back on track...
People put into these meeting to fabricate anger... I don't know if you have seen any of these videos but they look pretty darn angry to me... If this is fabricated then maybe they only need to go to these meetings to find the next group of Oscar Award Winning Actors.

My friend Heidi and I went to a round table forum the other day with a local government representative so that we could be informed about what was going on. So we could listen to what kind of lack of common sense things were being said. No one told us to go, didn't get any phone calls encouraging us. When a person with common sense gets hit square in the head with the insanity of the day, I just don't think they can sit still and allow our great country and the things that make it great slip away from us without some sort of fight... and if there were ever a time to fight... Well quite frankly we should have paid attention a little sooner when people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid continued to get voted into office...How does that happen? Anyway that time is now (let me clarify by fighting I mean debating, possible arguing with some sort of passion, which could quite frankly seem like anger. Why? Because it is anger. Angry that the same people who got us into this mess, don't worry I am an equal opportunity hater!!! That would be both Democrats and Republicans!!! The Public Servants we so naively voted into office because the talked a good talk!! Or we liked the way they looked, cmon.. it happens.
Anyway, They seemed to like us just fine at first but as the discussion went on and it was obvious we were batting for the other team... well it was like we were the kids that your mom made you invite to the birthday party but you really didn't want them to come...

So before I share my letter which I am certain put me on some list and its not Peoples "50 MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE". Here are some quotes I found about one of our rights that the left certainly take advantage of when they choose to but continually try to stifle when they don't like what is being said.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.

We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. ~Potter Stewart

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. ~Noam Chomsky

Here is my letter to the official tell the Whitehouse who doesn't like the health care bill:

Hello,

I like many others am not ashamed to say that I don't agree with the health care/insurance reform that is presently in the house. I have looked over some of it on line and frankly it is frightening. There are those of us who do realize the health care system needs reformed but do not agree that the government has any place in running the system of health care for its CITIZENS. There are those of us who believe that reform can come in different ways that will not turn our health care into a single payer system, which cmon' as we have seen in many countries does not work. I was just in Great Britain and spoke to many people who know there system is in dire straights. You know this is true. So why do you continue to try and sell this to the American People, who are protected by the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION to feel and speak in opposition to what you are proposing. I am not nor should I be made to feel like I am not allowed to have my difference of opinion. I sat and listened and defended the peoples right to speak badly of George Bush and his decisions... I spoke badly of some of his decisions. Freedom Of Speech is not something you can sensor because you do not agree with what I am saying. You can't not try and bully it until it goes away. Because as we know sometimes you must stand up to the bully and I hope and pray Mr. President that you are not that bully .... That you would encourage the different opinions of the Citizens of this Great Country. That maybe some of her citizens might have some ideas that you can work with... If writing this letter gets me on some sort of watch out list than so be it. I am willing to stand up for my freedom (not in violence but in a respectful manner which I hope you can appreciate).

Thank You For Your Time,

Ruthie

Why Are We The Blue?

I looked at many websites to find a simple answer to what our flag stands for. There are many sights.. Yahoo answers,wikepedia,wiki answers,and on and on and on... I found this answer on the Betsy Ross homepage on the U.S. History website. I thought this was the most appropriate place to take the meaning from. I don't think Wiki answers had much to do with the creation of our flag.

What do the red, white, and blue of the flag represent?

The Continental Congress left no record to show why it chose the colors. However, in 1782, the Congress of the Confederation chose these same colors for the Great Seal of the United States and listed their meaning as follows: white to mean purity and innocence, red for valor and hardiness, and blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. According to legend, George Washington interpreted the elements of the flag this way: the stars were taken from the sky, the red from the British colors, and the white stripes signified the secession from the home country. However, there is no official designation or meaning for the colors of the flag.

Why Are We The Blue?

Blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

Websters online:

vigilant: alertly watchful especially to avoid danger

persevere: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counter influences, opposition, or discouragement

justice: the quality of being just, impartial, or fair

I don't think that i need to say much more... I think if you read this you will understand why we are the blue.

We are on a path of change in our country, the question is what kind of change... I have been told by some that I can't really worry about everything going on around me. That I should only be concerned about my immediate life and the people who affect me directly...I don't agree with that. I think the fundamental change that the administration is talking about is change that is going to affect my immediate life and the people who directly affect me. I believe it is already...

So the question I have been asking myself lately is where is my place in all of this? How can I be vigilant and persevere so that TRUE JUSTICE is given to all of the CITIZENS of the United States Of America?
