September 11th…Fly the Flag!

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America.

If you forward this email to least 11 people and each of those people do the same … you get the idea.

THE PROGRAM:

On Friday, September 11th, 2009, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this eighth anniversary of one of our country’s worst tragedies. We do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at
home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn’t take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds

So, here’s what we need you to do .

(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don’t be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don’t, then at least make it a priority on this day.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!

I was wrong…

This is difficult for me to admit but, admit it I have to: my liberal friends were right.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation’s Hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 27 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and sure enough, 25,000 additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.

They told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse, and sure enough unemployment is approaching 10% and the new stimulus packages recently sent the stock market lower than at any time since 9-11.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more “crooks” in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more “Pork at the trough” in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 “PorkBills” showed up in Congress in just three weeks.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in D..C. and sure enough, Obama spent more in just 30 days than all other Presidents together in the history of the good ‘ole USA. A 3.8 trillion dollar budget, with a 900 million dollar per day interest on this current debt.

Well I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain.

… And they were right. All of their predictions have come true.

Starry night

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

What a gorgeous night. Just came in from doing the night time horse check. Stars are getting brighter – a sure sign Summer is slipping away. The air is crisp and cool. It was soooooo quiet. No cars, not even any aircraft in the distance. The only sounds were the crickets and the horses munching quietly. The dogs took a break from their constant tug-o-war to walk around the property and listen to the silence.

Hey look, I’m now apparently ‘big’ enough to be quoted as “not available for comment…” Woohoo!:
