Some Arizona sites

While driving around Sun City today, I spotted this cute Christmas display:



Earlier in the day I was in another part of the Phoenix area and spotted this display of American ingenuity:


I couldn't help from saying to myself - "There but for the grace of God go I." Of course, if the economy keeps up it's scary path, that might be me someday soon anyway.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

T’was the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned,
The dark meat and white.
But I fought the temptation,
With all of my might.
Tossing and turning,
with anticipation.
The thought of a snack
became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge,
Full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey,
And buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots,
Beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling,
So plump and so round.
‘til all of a sudden,
I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling,
Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding,
And a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees
Happy eating to all,
Pass the cranberries, please!!
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize
And May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs!

One last chance to preserve our Nation

Friends of ALIPAC and all concerned Americans,
Obama, Senator Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are very close to having the 60 votes they need in the US Senate to pursue almost any radical agenda, including restrictions on free speech and AMNESTY for illegal aliens.
Those of you that stood with us when we defeated versions of Amnesty in the US Senate several times in 2006 and 2007 will remember how important 60 Cloture votes are!
These bills with misleading titles such as "Comprehensive Immigration Reform", "Guest Worker Programs". "Temporary Worker Programs", or whatever they rename it because the public despises the legislation as soon as they learn what they mean.
We have defeated them before and we must defeat them again!
The math in the Senate is very close!
We know that John McCain has promised Obama to bring him 3-6 Republican votes for several components of his agenda including Amnesty. The three Republican Senators most likely to support Obama are John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Mel Martinez (R-FL).
The good news is there are at least 2 Democrats that will not vote for Amnesty.
That is why your immediate support is needed for our endorsed candidate in Georgia!
THE FATE OF AMNESTY MAY BE DECIDED ON DEC. 2 IN THE GEORGIA US SENATE RUNOFF!
We need ALIPACers across the nation responding quickly.
We need...
1. Votes: We need every ALIPAC supporter in GA gearing up to vote for Saxby Chambliss on Dec. 2 and to bring everyone you can with you to the polls.
2. Volunteers: Obama is sending 100 of his top field operatives into Georgia. Most are already deployed. Please visit the link below and volunteer for Saxby Chambliss. Volunteers from Georgia and any other state are needed.
3. Donations: The Democratic National Committee and other far left groups are targeting this race to establish supremacy in the Senate. Please use the link below to donate to Saxby Chambliss's campaign.
To learn more about, volunteer, and contribute visit this link...
http://www.saxby.org/


Saxby Chambliss has an A rating from our friends at Better Immigration...http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgrades.php3?District=GA&VIPID=221


Chambliss's opponent, Jim Martin, supports "comprehensive immigration reform" and "legalized status" (AMNESTY) for the vast majority of illegal aliens as indicated on his website.

Senator Chambliss has spoken directly with ALIPAC's President William Gheen and has vowed he will vote against any legislation containing any form of Amnesty for illegal aliens, including Cloture votes. Senator Chambliss has stated he will stand with our friend Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) on these issues.
We need a full mobilization of votes, volunteers, and donations, into the Chambliss campaign immediately.

US society can not survive unchecked immigration

US society can not survive unchecked immigration

By Clint Fitzgerald -- Letters to the Editor
Updated: 11/22/2008 06:16:30 PM PST

According to projections from the United States Census Bureau, by 2042 whites will no longer constitute a majority of the United States. Due to factual analysis we know 400,000 mostly Mexican illegal alien mothers birth their prized "anchor babies" within the USA annually.

Obama voted to double legal immigration trom 1.2 million annually to 2.4 million in June 2007.

Also, Obama voted for amnesty and chain migration which would dump 70 million Third World immigrants into this country in 30 years.

Unfortunately, Obama fails to understand the enormous impact on our environment and quality of life this advocation will have. Already, one out of five U.S. schoolchildren is a Mexican and 25% of children born in U.S. are also Mexican.

This is not the behavior of a leading nation, and it is not the American dream. Additionally, Mexico expects to grow from 108 million to 153 million in the next 40 years.

Estimates of their migration numbers run from 12 to 15 million within the U.S. in 2008. That number could rise by as much as 30 million within 40 years. Whether they constitute economic or environmental refugees, U.S. society will not survive their pressure on infrastructure, food supply, water systems, electricity usage or environment.

"Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected"

A documentary is being made by to show the media bias which contributed to the election of a totally inexperienced man to run the greatest country in the world, and to be the Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces.
The documentary exposes how the media shirked its duty to report on the facts about Obama's candidacy, and how a number of people went to the voting booth uninformed. Details are at this website:

http://howobamagotelected.com/ (copy and paste to view the actual interviews)

"On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple... the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.
On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not."


Zogby Poll
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

AFTER OBAMA SPREADS YOUR WEALTH AROUND THE UNITED STATES,

Obama's Global Poverty Act
by Edward Cline (April 3, 2008)

I rarely write commentary from anger, preferring a properly objective, psuedo-dispassionate approach to a subject deserving my attention. But news of the details, nature and scope of pending legislation in the U.S. Senate has caused me to make an exception to that rule.

As though Americans were not already burdened with:
• Extortionate and confiscatory taxes wherever they turn on virtually everything they earn, purchase, or do, from the local level on up to the federal level;
• Myriad regulations, controls and arbitrary rules that hamper or obstruct their productivity and their lives;
• Footing the endless bills of earmarked pork barrel projects at home in the amount of billions;
• Footing the bill in the amount of the billions for bottomless altruist and "humanitarian" pork barrel projects abroad;
• Footing the bill for an ever-expanding and ever more costly welfare state to subsidize the ill, the retired, the aged, the young, etc.
• Being held hostage by, say, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and other hostile "oil-producing" countries, because our government has decided that snail darters, sea cows, and caribou have a greater right to live than have human beings;
• Paying more for food because mandated ethanol, which reports prove costs more in oil to produce than it "saves," in the gas they buy is taking more crop acreage out of production;
Congress is proposing, in Barack Obama's Global Poverty Act (S.2433, based on H.R. 1302, passed by the House September 25, 2007), that Americans be delivered into a state of indentured servitude as laborers for the United Nations. Perhaps "indentured servitude" is too kind a term, for as horrendous a condition as it is, there is usually a time limit to such servitude. Slavery would be the more accurate term in this instance, for what Congress is considering is servitude by Americans in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing but the privilege of laboring to "save" the world without thanks or reward, of filling the alleged needs of others, of performing unlimited "community service" for the offense of merely existing.

A week after the election...

Instead of posting stories of my normal daily life here in Sun City, AZ such as my Dance for Fitness class, visiting with RV friends, my motorcycle rides, the fabulous estate and yard sales I go to every week, my new effort to sell my condo and purchase a house, or my adventure of loosing my purse and phone and everything else in my one of my motorcycle bags and how I retrieved almost everything, I decided to post some of the issues facing our country that have me concerned.

Fairness Doctrine
Pelosi wants to reinstated the fairness doctrine in an effort to silence the conservative talk radio folks. She and other liberals believe even more liberals would have won their races on election day if it weren't for conservative talk radio. What ever happened to freedom of speech? Enjoy it while you have it Americans!!!

Pelosi Supports 'Fairness Doctrine'
by John Gizzi


The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during ’08........

“So I don’t see it [the Pence bill] coming to the floor,” Pelosi said.

“Do you personally support revival of the ‘Fairness Doctrine?’” I asked.

“Yes,” the speaker replied, without hesitation.

The following is pretty creepy. It reeks of 1930's Germany....

Dollars lining up for 'civilian national security force'?
Report cites Frank's proposal to cut military 25%

Posted: November 06, 2008
11:15 pm Eastern

© 2008 WorldNetDaily


Sen. Barack Obama

President-elect Barack Obama raised questions during an election campaign stop in Colorado Springs when he asserted the U.S. needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force, but few of those questions have been answered.

But now one report is proposing a possible solution for part of the equation: From where would the money for such an organization come? Democrats in Congress now are floating the idea of cutting U.S. military spending by 25 percent, or $150 billion a year, and according to a report from blogger Jay Tea, that could be used for the new "security force."

The idea to cut the military, proposed by Rep. Barney Frank, already is being opposed by Republicans.

------------------------------------

Originally Obama's web site said the following:
"The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation's challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start."

After negative comments, the Obama web site changed the wording in the paragraph containing the word "required" to: "setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."

Geeeesh!! What ever happened to volunteerism being voluntary?

Court unlikely to toss 'illegal alien' term.

Claiming that the terms are inflammatory, the president of Arizona’s Hispanic Bar Association, (known as Los Abogados) has asked AZ state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to stop using them at trials or hearings because they create perceptions of judicial bias.

In a strongly worded letter to the chief justice, Los Abogados’ president says attaching an illegal status to a person (in the country illegally) establishes a brand of contemptibility, creates the appearance of anti-immigrant prejudice and tarnishes the image of courts as a place where disputes may be fairly resolved.

It further points out that no human being is illegal (but they can be in a country illegally) and that a national Hispanic journalism association has roundly criticized the reference for dehumanizing a segment of the population. The letter goes on to criticize the state’s High Court for using the term “illegals” in at least two opinions and the term “illegal aliens” in dozens of others.

It concludes with a list of acceptable and unacceptable terms relating to illegal immigration. Among those the group wants banned are; immigration crisis, immigration epidemic, open borders advocates, anchor babies and invaders. Among the acceptable terms are foreign nationals, unauthorized workers and human rights advocates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ACTION ALERT ON PELOSI TO STOP WORKSITE ENFORCEMENT RAIDS BY ICE

House Speaker Pelosi has touched off a new round of fighting over whether the Homeland Security Department should continue to stage controversial raids of work sites around the country. That may foreshadow a dispute that could move front and center when the new Congress convenes in January. Pelosi indicated at a news conference Wednesday that she supports an end to work site enforcement
operations nationwide by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is part of Homeland Security Department. She said the urgency of putting together comprehensive immigration reform legislation has been intensified by the raids. "How do we end the ICE raids, have a situation where we can end the ICE raids as we put together the comprehensive immigration reform?" she asked.

When is the US Government going to start being more concerned about the out-of-work American citizens than they are about Foreign Nationals who are undocumented workers who are not illegal but in our country illegally? Did I get that right? I don't want to offend anyone. :-)

And, why does she want them stopped? BECAUSE THEY WORK!!!

Ten Reasons Why Mexicans
Captured America

Here's Number 10. Copy and paste the following link for the first nine...

10) By 2050, Mexican Population to Triple in U.S.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/200 ... tudy_N.htm

Alderete said, "Good luck with your White.....errrr....I mean "American" (wink wink) revolution."

Alderete reminds me of a class highbrow who can use his brute force to frighten everyone around him. He doesn't enjoy brain power so he can only express himself with his 'strength' rather than intellect. He uses his countrymen by overrunning U.S. borders. He 'takes' without lawful regard.

If Mexico's current misery for its citizens causes them to flee by the millions, those immigrants provide us with a glimpse of our own future. Because as already observed in immigrant dominated areas of the USA in 2008, they recreate their former country within America.

Additionally, Mexico expects to grow from 108 million to 153 million in the next 40 years. Estimates of their migration numbers run from 12 to 15 million within the U.S. in 2008. That number could rise by as much as 30 million within 40 years. Whether they constitute economic or environmental refugees, U.S. society will not survive their pressure on infrastructure, water systems or environment.

Once they dominate our country with their inability to run a successful society-where will Americans flee?

How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic ( Athens ) some 2,000 years earlier:

'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'
'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship'
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'
'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. from dependence back into bondage'

I'd say we are getting close to #7.

A sad day for the America I love

Now with the election behind us, I'm feeling very sad for my country. I don't trust the man who was elected President. There's too many unanswered questions about him starting with the question of his US citizenship all the way to the twenty years he sat in church listening to Jeremiah Wright spew his hate of America and for the majority of Americans. There's also a whole cast of other questionable characters he has surrounded himself with throughout his life.

I didn't like his answer to Joe the Plumber about spreading his wealth around. No matter which figure you use, $250,000 or $200,000 or $150,000 or $120,000 I don't have that kind of wealth for him to be spreading around. However, if those of you reading this are one of those really wealthy people whose income you will be sharing with me I'd like to thank you. I didn't ask for it. I can manage without it, but thank you just the same. I promise I will spend it wisely. On second thought, I should probably just save it because before long our new Pres will probably realize just taking from the top income earners isn't going to be enough for all of his social programs and other spending he's been promising and threatening and he'll be take money from even my lowly income bracket. All I can say is HANG ON. IT'S GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE!!

The following are some of my favorite pictures of our new First Family:



Not in just one, but two different Obama campaign offices sport a picture of Che Guevara.




He might be in good company here. Birds of a Feather?



Let's not forget his associations with ACORN, where he helped perpetuate the sub-prime mortgage crisis as a neighborhood organizer in Chicago many years ago. And more recently ACORN's efforts in registering thousands of Democrats who don't even exist. One guy admitted they had him register 73 times.


What kind of pie does Michelle like? Caviar pie?
