| Pre-emptive Merriness |

| [ | mood |
| | cheerful | ] | With my lack of updating lately (most of my updates have move to Facebook, which is sorta like cheating as they are low to no effort) I just wanted to get in a Christmas shout-out.
I'm very excited this year. In my family, the tradition has always been that you go to the grandparents on Christmas. With Sharon's Mom coming up this year and all that, my family is actually coming to our place. That's awesome. I'm scheming the menu (mostly Italian) and we've been working on getting the place whipped into shape. Well, more work is actually needed...my weekend will probably be spent dealing with "clutter removal".
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all of you! |

| Benefit of the Doubt |
[Nov. 5th, 2008|09:01 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | thoughtful | ] | Here's the deal.
Obviously, I'm not thrilled about the results of the election. We all know that times are tough and there are people in this world who hate us.
However, I'm fundamentally an optimist. And when I really stop to think, I'm not helping the country I love by pouting.
So I pledge to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt. I will support his reasonable policies. I will pray for him. I will support him in his office.
However, I reserve the right to point out where I feel he is in error. It's in the Constitution that I'm allowed to do it. I will do my best to refrain from personal attacks, from nasty nicknames and the various mudslinging that is so tempting.
I have often criticized my citizens on the left who never gave President Bush the same courtesy, even before he was elected in 2000. I cannot follow that path now. I will not sacrifice friends and family because of their political support to President Obama.
May God shine his light upon this great land of ours. May our newly elected President lead us well. May we all prosper.
As I joked with a Facebook bud, if he passes a law that says I need to start wearing a fuzzy hat, that's a line that can't be crossed. |

One of two things will be true after the next four years:
1. I'll be able to look back and say "See? I told you so." 2. I'll be wrong about Barack Hussein Obama. But I doubt it.
That being said, where do I sign up for my free stuff from the government now?
Should I quit my job now or wait for Barack Hussein Obama to gut my industry?
Advice to Israel: Hit Iran NOW.
---- Day After Edit ----
I've decided to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt. It's really the only proper thing to do. I struggled with the idea of deleting this posting, but I'm going to let it stand. It reflected how I felt when I originally posted it. I'm mature enough to admit it. |

Read it, it's actually inspiring.
This election matters and despite what the in the tank for the empty suit media would have us believe, it's not over yet. The McCain/Palin signs are springing up all over my eastern PA neighborhood, with nary an Obama one. (well, the same one that's been there for months) |

| Barack vs. Sarah |

| | amused | ] | In their own words:
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We've got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – [my campaign has] a budget of about three times that just for the month." "This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger ... take more of your money ... give you more orders from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it."

Obama is done. |
