seven years ago we were attacked by a very real enemy with very real plans. Like the pearl harbor attack in 1941 this attack was planned and ruthlessly carried out. So many today are dividing into camps -pro rebublican-pro democrat To he ones who attacked us our policical partys do not matter-what matters to them is to put us under their law. We are a free nation-and soon we will vote on the next president of this great nation. We can be united on this. It is not impossible.. The enimies of our nation are watching us to see what we will do.So between now and November get informed and vote!

It seems right out of the middle ages but it is happening right here and now. The new dark ages are apon us! The speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi turned off the mikes and turned off the lights  just before going on vacation. To their credit the Republicans carryed on to TRY to get some work done in this do nothing congress! At least vote on the issue of offshore drilling.!I would laugh but it is much to important.We must do something about the oil issue and do it soon...the future is at stake.

Now that Barack Obama pretty much wraps up the Democratic nomination he faces his biggest problem...himself. All the words of his speeches and all the backing of the Democratic party cannot make up for  his lack of experance.  We are not talking about just any old job here--this is the presidency of this country we are talking about. How can we trust an indavidual who has said (very openly) that he would just sit down and talk with the avowed enemies of our nation without pre-conditions?Is it no wonder that those outside our borders think that Americans are kinda crazy?It does not matter to many that the president is a Republican or a Democrat. The enimies of Liberty hate us for who we are----Free Americans. I am looking forward to see and hear the townhall meetings that are coming up. I am sure that McCain and Obama will have lots to talk about.

In this world we live in there are things that truly unite us as Americans. What is happening to Ted Kennedy is tragic and I am truly hoping for the best for him and his family. It is when things like this happen we can look past the political roadblocks that are there and wish a fellow human being well that is sick.. It matters very little if one is of one policical party or another when things like this happen. We can all hope and pray and leave it in the power that is mightyer than all of us. Best to you Ted Kennedy.

Many still remember in 1984 when Mondale/Ferraro were running for office. Boy, I sure do!! I was on shore duty at NAS Oceana. Me and many others saw right away the National security nightmare that presidency would be. Now the power struggle continues. In making the remark that she said It proves to me very little has been changed in all these years. It is all interesting to watch but very sad that our presidential year has turned into quite a circus....plenty of clowns.

Super tuesday is here. The contenders will battle it out with words and tv ads. The bottom line,however,is still it is up to us to decide this thing. Republican or Democrat conservitive or liberal the battot box will rule this November. Many will not vote because their person is not in the race. I hope people will vote if the only reason is ---just get out there!! This is still America--the people still make the differance.

Well, what have we here? Ted Kennedy has endorced Barack Obama. I suppose this is also a part of the "vast right wing conspiracy" too. Hillary?
