Nite Tom, peace and rest to you and the General and all your descendants.

I'm out as well. I need some real rest before work. Have a great night!

Nite MB, peace and rest to you and all yours as well.

I got an email yesterday and thought I would share it. IT IS NOT a "Political" agenda on my part. We need to watch for, be aware of these indicators no matter who is in power. I do not care if it is the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarian or the little men from mars party. Corruption and wrongdoing is corruption and wrongdoing, no matter WHO is doing it.

Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your mind. Watch out for the threat from within!

Mods, if this violates anything, please feel free to delete it or let me know and I will. And If it does violate anything I apologize for posting it.

I don't know when this was written. It could have been yesterday or 50 years ago.

Here's something to think about . . . .

I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked , "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"

Dad said he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana at the time . Dad was in the army there.

Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.

This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba. Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960s. His family was more fortunate than most as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.

Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide, while celebrating the birth of our beloved America on the Fourth of July.

We began with a simple discussion about our country and the direction it has taken. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington.

But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. "You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist."

We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical."

The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, You mean just like..?

He responded, Yes, just like....

He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied."

"I remember my uncle saying after it started, 'Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries, he will never come and take our family hardware store. 'But that is exactly what happened, Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own, it is now our property also, and you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house because others are moving in with you."

The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office they can take totally unexpected turns.

If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society would be evaporating just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960s.

But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black Panthers are not charged with wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Justice. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets without due process by the government. Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled by the Attorney General. The U.S. borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers while the innocent are killed and overrun. When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law.

Without the rule of law the U.S. Constitution is a sham. Without the rule of law our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. As Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book, a culture of corruption has replaced honest government.

The only way this problem will be fixed is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally must come together and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law end now. And yes, it can happen here.

May GOD save the United States of America!

I am worried about our Nation. I do not approve of our present leaders, not because of their political party (I don't care what party someone is) but because of their beliefs and actions. I have voted Republican, Democrat and libertarian.
I vote for beliefs. I DO NOT vote by party affiliation, something I feel many make the mistake of doing.

The Latin phrase I think applies.

CAVEO ILLORUM IN VOX
(beware of those in power)

The updates are done, celebrating the death and rebirth of the Death chat. LONG LIVE THE NEWEST DEATH CHAT!

At least for the next hundred pages or so! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Morning again Tom. Have a nice sleep?

Nice, but not enough. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Wish I could say that, haven't slept well for the last few weeks.

Well it's daylight here and we got this.

Light Snow

22 °F

Well, when you go home walk around the yard for a few minutes, get good and cold, then go to bed. The sheets should feel real good then! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
