Did not Watch….news or radio or TV today….

For starters:

The weekend programming drops at least 50 IQ points, 

The commercials are longer and more of them.

The networks did not get any rating points from me for CPAC.

VOTE with the REMOTE….V.

Dear Media…Have you ask any regular republicans about what they think about the direction the party is going?

I mean, like in front of a building when people are going out to lunch, they would all be republicans….they are the only ones left with credit cards, expense accounts for lunch out these days….

I mean like in a shopping area, do a man on the street thing,….

REPUBS…WE NEED YOUR IMPUT…

How do you view the people at the seemingly top of your party?

What did you think of the CPAC?

what did you think of the CPAC Agenda?

What did you think of the CPAC Speakers?

I mean a real basic repub feed back on these questions…should be interesting.

I think that maybe only 20% of them would know what you are talking about.

They just mindlessly vote repub to identify themselves with what they perceive as power and money….blindly walking over the cliff….V.

I am encouraged…hopeful…and not worried…I put my personal agenda aside….I have it difficult…by any standard…but …nothing to compare to most folks.

Did you read the post down page that folks were walking out of their homes and only taking what they could put in a car….is this the beginning of…the days of …the new….THE GRAPES OF WRATH?

I have been worried about it for a long time…anyone who does not know what I am writing about….rent the movie…and/or …read the book…rich people drove by and threw dust in the faces of people walking down the road with what belongings they could carry.

We do not have to wait for the Stim Package to write us a check….we can and should help each other out.

We need to organize our town groups and formulate a plan to store goods and distribute help…temp house families, children to go to school…that is the most cruel thing lf all

Having to leave your home with school children….no bed to go to sleep in…to kitchen for making meals…no bathroom and shower…no washer and dryer….and to go to school and face your fellow students…It happened to my children because of a divorce.

I have first hand knowledge of what that feels like…suddenly your children on sleeping on the sofa of neighbors who can take them to school the next day….and the courts gave my ex my house and my money…..It happened to a family in our town this week…the stay at home mom has two children and a part time job….

The ex got the house and his job and does not pay….she is worried sick.

We have to help these people….the Courts need to award the house to the mom and the kids…as a matter of fact…..it is heartless to think that children do not have a ‘financial stake’ in the home.

 Just the adults….it is the kids home as well…dead beat dads are cruel to know that they WON the suit and brag to there friends…like they are VINDICATED for bad behavior….

My situation was 20 years ago…but others are going through it now…with loss of jobs and foreclosures….I feel for the teens….be good to them….alcohol and drugs are not stress relief…and is a bad thing for teens too..

We need to organize…maybe someone has a store out of business, warehouse, barn, farm, something….to let people store things in…or put to share with others….food pantry….we all got to help.

I ache for my countrymen…but I trust my President to work on the big stuff…we have to put our hands out to others…he can only do so much…V.

www.edshultz.com   Big Eddy Shultz on the radio this afternoon had a lot of comedic material with the Repub CPAC….you can imagine….

I almost forgot how bad my throat hurt…and here I am, having an outofbody experience with the pain….and laughing my insides out…..

Checked my email,….took some over the counter sinus stuff….and got a junk email….’make her moan in bed’….heck I wish I were up and about….

4 plus inches of SNOW…..back to the emails….I got this too….to funny

I was confused when I heard the word ’service’  used with these agencies. 

Internal Revenue ‘Service’ 
U.S. Postal ‘Service’ 
Telephone ‘Service’ 
Cable TV ‘Service’  
Civil  ‘Service’ 
State, City, County & Public   ‘Service’ 
Customer ‘Service’ 

This is not what I  thought ’service’ meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking,

and one of them said he had hired a bull to

’service’ a few cows.  BAM!!!  It all came into focus.

Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.  

Now you are as enlightened as I am.

Accountability and Transparency”We cannot overstate the importance of this effort. We are asking the American people to trust their government with an unprecedented level of funding to address the economic emergency. In return, we must prove to them that their dollars are being invested in initiatives and strategies that make a difference in their communities and across the country. Following through on our commitments for accountability and openness will create a foundation upon which we can build as we continue to tackle the economic crisis and the many other challenges facing our nation.”

Memorandum to Head of Departments and Agencies, February 9, 2009

 

The President has made it clear that every taxpayer dollar spent on our economic recovery must be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability.  He has identified five crucial objectives for Federal agencies, to ensure that:

• Recovery funds are awarded and distributed in a prompt, fair, and reasonable manner;
• The recipients and uses of all recovery funds are transparent to the public, and that the public benefits of these funds are reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner;
• Recovery funds are used for authorized purposes and every step is taken to prevent instances of fraud, waste, error, and abuse;
• Projects funded under the recovery legislation avoid unnecessary delays and cost overruns; and,
• Programs meet specific goals and targets, and contribute to improved performance on broad economic indicators.

To meet these objectives, the President is directing Federal agencies to take critical steps in preparation for the Act’s implementation.  See here, for the White House’s February 9, 2009 initial implementation memorandum and February 18 detailed guidance memorandum.

RWN’s….Right ‘Wing Nuts’

Whew…had an odd day…Clareance…aka ..Buddy …my cat…I picked him up this morning to carry him out to go around the house for his morning ‘duty’.  I put him down and he …FELL OVER…he can’t stand up or walk…he has been sick…the vet put him on antibiotics…and hydration injections…I have been squirting water down his throat…he does not eat…the kitty cold and coughing are over …but he is so weak…and lost all his weight…that was a beginning on today.

COLD, SNOW RAIN….I ditched going into sales meeting this morning to stay with Buddy,…not much encouragement to stay home this morning needed….the market is low….office quiet…weather bad…Buddy sick…but I did go in at 2 pm

Did the usual stuff and opened my email…..IN WITH THE USUAL…GUN RIGHTS NUTS….BIBLE QUOTERS….AND THOSE OUT TO SAVE MY MORTAL SOUL FOR VOTING FOR OUR PRESIDENT…WAS THE FOLLOWING:

A Facebook note from a childhood friend in Texas….my Facebook notes appear on her site as well because the sites are joined with comments on each….not to post ….”the ideas of our president on her site”

These folks will never …GET IT…like the Dutch community just north of us….couldn’t beat them over the head with a wooden shoe for the  ‘Religious Rightist’….Repub junk….

THANK GOD…THEY ARE THE….NEW MINORITY….all of the rest of us FREETHINKERS…I do not see any HOPE for them…..They will never allow themselves to see how bad the last administration was…or what has been done for us in less than a week….I pray for them…V.

Yes its clothes…and that is part of the mystic of being a great First Lady….

Do some history of the Inaugural Dresses of the recent FLOTUS..

Mrs Carter wore…an ancient neck ruffles gauze thing she wore to his Gov Inauguration

Hillary wore…the ugliest red and white checked suit and dress coat that was a blurr on the media…cameras to not do checks well…it made her huge hips look awful and when they got out of the limo in the parade…it was ghastly.

The Inaugural Gown goes to the Smithsonian on a wax figure with all the prior First Ladies…so yes it is important…

And yes, we are going to see some fashion from Michelle as well as good common sense dressing…and raw intelligence….she will outshine any other First Lady and be more important than Jackie Kennedy….because she is modern, more active, and sooo…now…..V.

POSTAL STAMPS….my comment to post down page…A MUST READ..

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Jan 26th, 2009 at 2:35 pm EST

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

More ‘new’ postal stamps…enough already.
This has long been a contention of mine.

First of all, the USPS, is not part of the US Gov, like the IRS, and a whole host of services we think are, they are ‘contracted entities’…with contractual right to use…US…blah, blah, blah.

Most design stamps do not have the amount on them.  I have some ‘Tulip’ stamps that no one can tell me the denomination…I did not ask for design stamps, just went for ’stamps’.

Only the Liberty Bell stamps are ..’forever’ stamps and can be used ‘forever’ to deliver mail..they do not say ‘forever’ or denomination either.

I think a good case for attempts to deceive are in order for the stamps…they probably get a bit write off or federal monies for ‘DEVELOPEMENT AND DESIGN’….

ENOUGH ALREADY….USE ONLINE POSTAGE…METERED POSTAGE…POSTAL STORES…ETC…REFUSE TO BUY …JUNK STAMPS…IN 3 MONTHS…WHO CAN TELL THE DENOMINATION…VALUE…OR IF THEY GO UP AGAIN.

The answer to all of this is ….;don’t….as much as I think it was atrocious for the things that happened…should not have to anyone ever on the planet….

ans the right’wing nuts’ would go crazy with this one…not to close it after saying you would

Here is the deal…..Just stop torturing them…give them trials at Gitmo….

If you are transferring them just to close it…because of the bad time it was…to try to get another prison to take them…or another country…they are already in prison in another country….

Humane treatment…open inspections by global inspectors….world court trial…fair treatment

those that are not terrorists when they are picked up.,.have to be nearly crazy now.

Make amends to their families….cheaper than transfer to another country…send them home.

The bad ones….leave them at Gitmo….let the Iraqis go to Gitmo and guard them….

ALERT….IF YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE….PLEASE READ THIS

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Jan 25th, 2009 at 9:49 pm EST

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

Mortgage Alert….the post below about the mortgage bankers and the amendment for allowing the home to go to bankruptcy…..

What i know about it from hearing it in my industry….

1.  If you are in danger of defaulting on your mortgage….you have heard….talk to your banker and try to work it out…..BECAUSE THE BANKERS WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW.

2.  I have seen ….people with the bank notified….put the house on the market as indanger,…bailout…or short sale…[foreclosure in the making]…the bank has to sign off on ALL paperwork to sell any home tha is mortgaged…..

What I have seen:…multi-offers sent to banks on one house….they are not even seen by the person in charge of that file….they just stack them up and do not even return the call to the realtors….FOR SALE BY OWNER…or anyone else…..

tHEY WANT:

A.  THE PROPERTY

B.  A LEIN REMAINING ON THE PERSON THAT DEFAULTED

C. INCLUDING CHARGES TO RECOVER THE HOME, THE CLEAN UP, REPAIR, PAID EXECUTIVE TO OVERSEE THE EVENT….PHONY CHARGES UP THE ….WAZOO….

D. RESALE THE HOME AT TOP DOLLAR …BANK OWNED…THROUGH THEIR PET REATOR….Someone who gets all they have for sale….at a discounted commission….and

C. ANOTHER DANG FOOL TO SIGN A NEW MORTGAGE.

IT IS A …..WIN…WIN…FOR THE BANKERS…..AND TO TOP IT OFF…

BANKRUPTCY JUDGES WILL PULL THE MORTGAGE OUT OF THE PROCEEDINGS….AND GIVE IT TO THE BANK…to collect themselves.

Bankruptcy laws should cover this….not another AMENDMENT…hidden on the coatails and buried in yet another piece of legislation…..go back to….HOW WAS IT CHANGED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Then fix that…..V.

Spirituality versus Religion……

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Dec 29th, 2008 at 4:11 pm EST

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

Religion Says:

Empty the church of the Unwashed and Odd….we have to worship God.

Make a donation….we have the church to support,

A well kept fortress,….a Pious Port.

Take no note of anyone not like us…If they were like us they would not make such a fuss.

And of course should your circumstances change, you must have done something off the radar range.

Spirituality says:

Why are your doors closed but for a few hours a week? 

When out in the cold are the sick, hopeless, and meek.

Everyone marvels at the glory of your building, magnificent and strong.

To refuse shelter in its spreading arms is wrong.

90 days without a paycheck, an illness, or bad luck,

Can make you one of these and no one will hear you

When you scream…….&%#$….!

This is an original item I just wrote….it expressed my feelings so well.

Right “Wing Nuts”….how dare you push your piety and spite out the hatred and evil hate speech,….and want others to think you are the better of the People….I am to Spiritual to be called the modern social definintion of Christian…or Republican…or Conservative…Eat my dust….V.

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

States, Counties and Cities, could save millions, by going to the 4 day work week.  Not extended hours, not 4 tens, just 4 days….so many offices that are non-essential could save utilities, staff, and related costs by going to 4 days….even if they hired an extra person here and there or part timers and interns for the busy 4 days…..

It would save the money for the essential services that are being cut.  Children services, art and music in schools, and people that are losing their jobs entirely could be saved….we all can do our part….

Small business could save the same way by closing, say Sunday, Monday and Tuesday….once everyone got used to it….we would do the same amount of business….and know what days we used if it was uniform…..

The biggest savings would be on fuel……heating and air conditioning,….fuel of people driving to work….the enviornment….pocket books…..day care…..it would be streamlined and efficient…V.

Twas the Night Before Inauguration
By John Cobarruvias
BayAreaHouston.blogspot.com

T’was the night before inauguration and what to my dismay
The market was tanking, I lost my 401K!
The stocks were hung, in downfall they stuck
While Bush did nothing, a truly lame duck

The republicans were nestled, their heads in the sand
With visions of defeat of the republican brand.
And Cheney with his gun, his heart a pace
Looking for someone, to shoot in the face.

When out on the house floor, there came such a clatter
I sprang to the internets to find what’s the matter.
Away to my screen I ran with a flash
Hoping the market, didn’t crash.

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Showed me someone I needed to know.
When what to my eyes, I paused, with a comma
But a vision of hope, It was Barack Obama!

With excitement and conviction in each of his steps
I wondered what he and his el ves, w ould do next.
More rapid than eagles his appointments they came
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name.

Now Emanuel! Now, Dashle! Now Richardson and Biden!
On, Clinton , On Napolitano, and Gates, no sense in hiding!
To fix the economy, our reputation and more.
And to stop the killing of this unnecessary war.

As Obama stood still, the republicans they trembled
Remembering 8 years of a disaster they had assembled.
They’ve broken our banks, and doubled our debt.
They scared us to death with weapons of threats.

They squandered a surplus, They started a war.
They shredded our constitution, littered on the floor.
They attack our unions, our immigrants and those who are gay.
They claim to be Christians, yet on the sick they prey.

It is easy to tuck in on wintry days and not drink anything but coffee and chocolate….coupled with dry air…can cause mild dehyration…in any form can make the body react without seeminly cause.

Heat a pan of water to just warm drinking temp, put in a cup with a splash of juice, or small piece of peppermint, or just a pinch of cinnamon and half teaspoon of sugar….give to children and oldsters as well….several times a day is good….at least once a day….give children fluids in the form of a water, or water base non-stiumulating drink….V.

Hundreds of tired travelers lined up at ticket gates Sunday at Sea-Tac Airport, hoping to find flights and leave the airport, where many had been stranded for more than a day.

Crosswinds at Sea-Tac Airport led to the cancelation or delay of dozens of flights Saturday night and Sunday morning, leaving thousands of people with nowhere to go.

The cancellations hit Alaska Airlines particularly hard, and may continue into Monday. Alaska and Horizon Air canceled all flights at Sea-Tac and Portland International Airport as of 2:45 p.m., in part because of a lack of de-icing fluid. Passengers who live locally were told to go home for the evening, and others were told to make their own hotel arrangements.

A port spokesman said individual airlines are responsible for keeping their own planes de-iced, which is why some planes were still making it out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Sunday. Two runways remained open.

“It’s kind of a perfect storm,” port spokesman Perry Cooper said. “I’ve had people here for 20 years and they have never seen anything like this.”

While a lack of de-icing fluid made the situation worse, Horizon spokeswoman Jen Boyer said the stretch of bad weather had exhausted the airlines’ crews and equipment during the holiday rush.

“We’ve just been playing catch-up with the weather, that we’re running out of fresh crews and running into maintenance deadlines for the aircraft,” Boyer said. “We still have three days to get everyone home for Christmas, and we’re trying to get everyone there.”

Passengers booked on a canceled flight may re-book on the next available flight without penalty or apply for a full refund of the unused portion of their ticket.

Akiko Onuma, a 21-year-old Scripps College student from California, flew into Sea-Tac on Saturday night from Ontario, Calif. She had a 9 p.m. Saturday connection to Lewiston, Idaho, on Horizon that was canceled.

“There were hordes of people — literally hundreds of people — trying to figure out what to do,” Onuma said.

By the time Onuma got her bag at midnight Saturday all the hotels were booked, she said, so she spent the night at the airport.

Onuma is now hoping to get out Monday morning on a flight to Walla Walla.

Terry Haybert of Tacoma was at the airport with his wife and 5-year-old daughter. He had a 1 p.m. flight to Portland on Sunday, which was canceled.

“This was the biggest mistake ever, we should’ve just driven,” Haybert said of his holiday plans.

Joseph Gudall from Blairstown, N.J., flew from Newark to Seattle, hoping to get to Fairbanks, Alaska, on a 9 p.m. Saturday flight from Seattle. The departure time kept getting pushed back until the flight was canceled at 1 a.m. Sunday, he said.

“It was a sheer disaster,” Gudall said. “I never thought this could happen.”

Gudall is booked on a 9 p.m. Sunday flight to Fairbanks. Gudall is heading to Alaska to visit his daughter.

Alaska Airlines spokesman Paul McElroy said cancelations may continue into Monday if the weather doesn’t improve.

“Since we’re dealing with Mother Nature, it’s really uncertain,” McElroy said. “We’re hopeful that we can resume our schedule Monday, but we’ll have to see.”

On Sunday afternoon, airport staff handed out blankets and pillows to travelers, who were sprawled out over any available space.

Passengers should contact their carriers for flight status before heading to the airport, spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt said.

Passengers whose flights are scheduled to leave Monday should allow extra time to get to the airport and they should expect long lines once they arrive.

People whose flights are canceled, should rebook from home, Betancourt said.

Cooper said heavy winds had died down by early Sunday. But poor weather at airports in the Northwest and around the country remained a problem, he said.

“It’s that systemwide domino effect,” he said.

While airport restaurants and stores did not receive their deliveries Saturday, trucks were able to drop off goods on Sunday morning, Betancourt said.

“We should be OK with concessions,” she said.

Flight status can be found at the airport’s Web site: hosting.portseattle.org/fids. Those with reservations on Alaska or Horizon can check their flight status online at alaskaair.com or horizonair.com, or by phone at 800-252-7522 for Alaska and 800-547-9308 for Horizon.

I know,..the moment that they pick their dog,…that breed will be worth a lot of money….and will nearly be extinct from the open market like the little blond chihuahua for Taco Bell……all the breeders want their dogs chosen…..and many want to know the breed to be the first to grab up the supply of that breed….

I hope they get a dog and don’t tell anyone what kind it is…..and oh yeah….the mutt thing….

Well there are not any mutt people….each person is wonderfully made for their purpose for this world….would Obama be better if his lineage was anything but what it is…..perfection.

Is it time for a National HOMESTEAD ACT?

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Nov 19th, 2008 at 7:46 pm EST

Is it time for a National HOMESTEAD ACT?

1.  The home can not be used for collateral for any debt surety.

2.  The home stands alone for mortgage funds, no combined debt into funding.

3.  The home is exempt in bankruptcy proceedings.

4.  The home must go through a one year default phase before foreclosure to offset loss of job other major life changing events, like death of the breadwinner, allowing for time to sell and restructure the debt.

5.  The home is not a blank check for credit card companies to suck the money out of equity, nor a basis for auto dealers to tap the life blood of American families.

6.  The National American Homestead would be the ENTIRE value of the home.  Some states have a homestead act that covers only a small portion of the home.  This allows it to be taken and sold under value and a small portion of the funds given to the owner to move on….even these funds are not exempt from further attachment after it becomes funds owned by the original owner.

7   The National American Homestead  would set apart the American Home as the nest from which the American Spirit rises each day to go to school and work and is the backbone of stability in America.

8.  The National American Homestead would be anywhere the home is owned and is the primary residence of the entire family.  The family could be one person, or all that are listed as the primary residents of the home.

9.  The National American Homestead would allow all that are listed as residents, including children  and seniors the right to the value and peaceful pursuit of happiness in the dwelling.  No more are children the disenfranchised non-owners of a family failure or divorce. 

10.  The National American Homestead would again be the sanctuary it is intended

On Demand Hydrogen…fuel…cheap…easy to put on all vehicles now.

on demand hydrogen is a simple cheap fuel additive.  The idiocy of hydrogen tanks on cars is dangerous, and ties the car to ‘refuel’ at gas stations…on demand hydrogen is a small electric pulse in a pint of water under the hood.  No hydrogen tank….about a 45% increase in fuel savings.

How much money, federal funds have been wasted by the Auto Industry by using these funds for RESEARCH for hybrid, electric, hydrogen tank, propane tanks, and bio fuels that they know are dangerous and will never be used.

A motor will generate enough electric power to refuel its own battery cells…

The real fix is the on demand hydrogen.

Can be viewed on www.CSPAN.org/politics   Ohio Voters Focus Group

CSPAN has on a magnificently run program, a focus group of Ohio voters. NOT so much for what they said, but what they did not say…
The format was brillliant…the questions, the way they were delivered…It was an educational presentation of the structure.

The participants were not the focus. They were not as ‘undecided’ as they would put on…one was a bitter Hillary supporter voting for McCain. No undecided there….In severall rounds of surgical questioning,….after much hesitation at each question…had to formulate a answer to justify her answer.

Others,…had to reach, I mean reach, to justify not voting for Obama for the obvious reason….bigotry. Cold crass bigotry….they used his orator skills as a liability….me thinks…because he has a better brain…education…focus…direction than they do and they can not accept that he does….so it must be something wrong with it.

The McCain Palin Web Site, …The RNC Web Site……no issues

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Oct 28th, 2008 at 1:59 am EDT

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

The McCain Palin Web Site, …The RNC Web Site……no issues are discussed on how they are going to fix this nation.

My vote is mailed in for Barack Obama…I just went to the other web sites to see what you would find.  Stay with me on this…we are going somewhere at the end.

First of all, this one at first glance is far better….the other one is limited and stiff….not much going on at first look.

Second, you go to the first page of the McCain Palin site and it is video’s of McCain on a stretcher.

He is a hero,…yes….he got a medal, 30 years ago.

What is that going to do for a person looking for help with today’s issues?

You open this web site, the first page is what are the issues, the facts, the plan for our nation.

THE RNC web site:

Open it up and click on the blog, …it is all about the smears, lies, mis information we hear everyday.  NO PLAN FOR AMERICA

I did this because I received an email supposedly from Sarah Palin.  It was so stiff and to the point asking for money because this campaign have spent so much, ya da ya da ya da…..It was DEFINITLY not written by the person who signed it….just not the flow of information as it would come from what we have seen of her.

I also received emails from my long time friends that have started a SMEAR campaign against me personally.,..they have joined my Facebook and contacted my fellow workers on that web site and started such a vile untrue mess that it is unconscionable to take in.,,..

YES WE CAN ….overcome the smears, the lies, and stand up for who we are….people that have known me all of my life or for a lot of years…worked with me in office everyday….spent more time with me in the last two decades than my children…..and they do this….

Partly because they are in the same business as me and hope to build themselves up in the eyes of others …..but mostly because they have lost all sense of reason their own bigotry and sense of not being validated if Barack wins….they are absolutely blind.  And that is an insult to persons without sight that have more insight than my friends…..

I told you this was going somewhere,….thank God,…these idiots are the only ones left in the RNC.

Will the last person leaving the RNC please turn out the lights…..V.

I stayed up to see the markets open around the world.  I don’t have any skin in the game so to speak.  I was just curious to see what they thought about the deal.  The most interesting were the British. 

They were surprised that anyone would suggest that we would bail out wall street and that anyone would allow it.  They said that there were many more fixes that would work and they were just fixing it on the public dime.,

Treasury bills and banks loaning to other banks is all that it would take.

Saying what he did about Teddy Kennedy being in the hospital and they pausing and pie eyed milking the moment with the crowd. 

Hoping to sop up sentiment from the Kennedy fans, short circuit their thinking matter….suspend thinking processes to get a toe in the door for himself.

And what most of us do not realize…..their are a huge amount of people out there that will vote that get the issues confused about who Teddy Kennedy stood up for.   They will just remember that Teddy was on the screen and it will confuse the issue in their minds and associate him with McCain.

Like the preview of the Ole Miss venue and the woman said in very backward mentality, ‘It doesn’t matter, I am still a McCain girl.: and the guy that said, “He is back in Washington taking care of us?   He does not watch the news to know the facts that McCain has not voted since April and flew into town just to draw attention to himself.  It was reported by his colleagues in Congress that he just got in the way.

 

THESE TWO PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW THAT….THEY JUST GOT THE CHEAP TV COMMERCIL VERSION OF THE FACTS.

McCain made a big slip up that no one has caught yet……You get it here first…….

McCain said,”I am not feeling well,  ‘big pause’……….about the last few days………. or what ever it was. 

Is that the REAL reason he SUSPENDED his campaign…….decided not to debate until he was pulled over to the corner like a ‘punch drunk’ old fighter and swabbed up and pushed back out into the ring?

Did he need a break?  Was the schedule too much for him?

The mental capacity has got to be brutal and the physical punishment of making day after day appearances is hard for anyone.

I can’t imagine any other time in history that a pair of somethings like McCain and Palin could be stood up in front of the world to captain the ship of state for America….leaders of the free world and all that stands for and not be laughed off of the stage……ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I have not heard anything about the way I feel about the debate

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

I have not heard anything about the way I feel about the debate.  Let me run this by all of you and see how it pans out. 

McCain was saying stuff for the masses to say, :See He really cares’  I thought he was insincere and parroting words like cheap wine.

McCain will say anything in front of crowds and cameras.  I know that is not how repubs think.  Been there, done that.

McCain holds values true to the insiders of the party that tell each other stuff to identify and validate their views.  I do not think that views is even the words.  When a couple or few people spend a lot of time in their own illusions it takes on a form of mutual insanity. 

McCain is only the face on a group of staffers that do the real job for the position he holds.  I doubt that he has any real input into his role as senator.   But then I think that about most of the senior senators.  They are too old to walk, hear, see, and yet they can stand in front of the camera and mutter a few words and that passes as doing the job.

McCain made a big slip up that no one has caught yet……You get it here first…….

McCain said,”I am not feeling well,  ‘big pause’……….about the last few days………. or what ever it was. 

 What do you think about these thoughts?   Did you catch any of it like this.  I had a hard time not being angry.  I could see my repub friends just eating up the lies and the ‘rose petals on the pile of poop;.

Sorry for the analogy…..just frustrated that I can’t get through to them the gravity of staying with the Grandpa Of the Past   party…….V.

Count down to Election of Barack Obama 44th President of the United States

We have little time left until the election. 

The 7th inning stretch is over.

Time to put forth Barack Obama’s issues on this his campaign blog.

It is what Barack thinks that is important.

It is what his ideas on the economy, taxation, foreign policy, health programs, that are to be discussed here and with the public.

What the Huffy Post thinks, or a talking head, or anybody else does not interest me anymore.

What any person has to say about anything is not important…..what is and ONLY is important is what Barack thinks and is going to do when elected.

I do not want to see anymore big pictures of a newscaster, or what they say.  I think some of these entities are using this blog for free advertising and promotion. 

Read the issues on the front web site.  Barack’s economic plan and discuss these issues on the front page.

There is so little time left…….YES WE CAN…….V.

Marriage…….Is a small corporation…..all should be civil contracts

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Aug 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm EDT

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

In reality….marriage is:

1, Licensed by the state to enter into.

2. Has community property owned by the whole.

3. Has common income for the Good of the whole

4. Each member is expected to contribute to the entity

5. It must be dissolved by the court.

That is what a corporation is.

All persons entering into a civil corporation would have a duty to the state under the license to perform and removing assets from the corporate whole of the civil corporation is under penalty of law.  It would be subject to audit and responsible to the other members and the state.  No more theft by transference.

The partners could also choose to have a ‘Religious’ ceremony under the tenets of their church. 

It would return the marriage act to the church. 

The civil contract could work both ways.

The partners could choose:

1. to have a ‘civil contract’ and no religious marriage.

2. to have both a ‘civil contract’ and a religious marriage.

3. to be separate under the law and have a religious marriage under God in church.

4. to be blissfully single, not having either.

That would end this horrible debate on marriage.  All with a ‘civil union’ would have all rights under those laws and be under a duty to care for the assets of the civil corporation.

All those wishing to be married, are married at church, it is a religious rite of the church like baptism.

It would end to horrible inequities of the current marriage laws.  Not that the laws are inequitable the prevailing financial rape that occurs when one partner steals the assets of the other. The attorneys get first grab and the children are to pawns to who gets the alimony and the house.  If the attorney bill is too high [usually the home is sold to pay them first] or the assets have been removed that support the home.

The children would be equitable partners of the ‘civil corporation’ and the state would be the auditing factor like yearly income tax and inventory of a small corporation.  Because that is actually what a modern marriage is.   

All assets would be held in the name of the ‘civil contract’ .  You could not steal a car or the bank account or the title to property.   It would have a corporate name other than the partners signature.

A Purpose driven life?……I found it boring, childish, a revamp of motivational speakers, feel good, you got to have this book to be one of us…..even tried to go to a book study on that book….to see if there was something I was missing…..the ‘holier than thou old crone with cold hands and a handshake that was a vise grip’  that was leading it frowned if you mentioned anything that was not dull, dead, and ‘your not doing the ‘numbed out of your mind’ duck walk. 

I still think that if I ever see that old crone that took my hand and sqeezed it so hard it hurt for the entire hour I will slug her flat on the concrete.  I am a big girl, and live a clean life, and do not have any ‘worldly’ issues……everytime you meet up with one of these people, you are a sinner doomed for hell because, they need to lead you to Jesus to get another mark by their name in the pastors book.    I am in the Lord’s book of Life….I do not need to be in your book it will be burned up with your copy of the Purpose Driven Life in the end of time.

It sold so many copies because it was promoted by the ‘you gotta do this to be one of us’ to the spiritually hungry crowds that come to find God and get a Sunday morning talk about the pastors family life, his new motorcycle, and the plane he wants to buy…….donate and God will answer your prayers…..puke….God answers my prayers when I say them with a pure intention…..V.

Sick of religious non-spiritual hoo-llolly lump of flesh that is the ‘evangelical’ movement.  It was once a group that was unsatisfied with the religious expression of spirituality that existed and they became their own ‘religion’.  Try to enter that body and not do the ‘evangelical’ duck walk and you will not be accepted. 

They have become everything that they ran from only worse.  I was not impressed with the event with Rick Warren.  He was trying out the candidates to see if they fit the mold of the evangelicals.  That is not what it was based on.  In many respects it is worse than organized religion in its organization.

I attended the warehoused masses for many years and ran for cover.  It is me and God and everything I learned in vacation bible school the rest is man made control.  YUK…..bail out now….I think Christ had a word for them…..Pharases?…..judging everyone if they matched their well washed outsides?…….

Christ said ……the greatest comandment is love….if you do not love your fellow man you can not love God…….V

Now that I see everyone is up and online with their juices flowing, I want to call to Prayer and good meditations to the Truth that leads you for our Nation and our World.  I have spent the last 24 hours with considerable concern over all that is going on.  Here and around the world, we need a divine intervention for every aspect of our existence.  We are here doing our part and have a vision of Change for all of it. 

With our modern society with all of the technological and communication devices, we still are not learning and sharing a better life.  Everything from transportation, food, housing, children at risk, we seem to be dumber and worse off than in the 50’s. 

Ask the spiritual Truth that leads you to give insight and introspection for a better world. 

I am not so worried about myself, I have given up on many hopes and dreams, my feelings are;  when I go my generations after me will need and want everything I have given up on and what will they have to work with and use when we are gone. 

Let’s send up a collective, “Can you help us down here?” thing.  and the heavens answered, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,YES WE CAN…….V.

Nursing a sprained foot and hip, fell carrying a watermelon last Sat at the lake picnic pavilion.  I wanted to go to the Fair and walk around the business booths.  That’s out.  Watering the wilting plants started the pain in my foot again.  Stay with me here, we are going somewhere…….

Propped up, lap top, news channels, ad nauseum, email was interesting…..only got a few multi-million dollar prize winning tickets from foreign lands….interesting….I have several emails, and I got the same exclusive, confidential prize in each junk mail box……oh yeah, got a choice of two John McCain fundraisers to attend on either end of the freeway, held in taverns that no respectable person would drive by, no host drinks, no  thanks, gave it up 31 years ago……oh yeah, it is sponsored by the Repub party, and …….I recommend staying off of the I-5 on Thursday evening between noon and midnight…..those folks get together early and finish late……safety issue you know……

Too much time, too much instant coffee, too much guilt for not being out and about this beautiful day.  I thought about going to my office, down at the yacht harbor.  I can sit at my desk and see boat masts the full side of the front and the other side see the Harbor and hear seagulls all day. 

 Maybe, one full day off my foot will help it heal faster……thank God I am healed from the GOP, never went to those drink a thons anyway.  Went to some lunches and dinners where it got pretty wet.  Oh well, I am not down on anyone that imbibes, far from it, I just don’t think  their only events in this area will be one fraction of a percent as fun as the smiling faces and the energy of being at an Obama event, ……..or just passing one of the many, many, Obama yard signs……or seeing the gorgeous pictures on the blog of Obama and the sheer joy of the supporters and stuff going on.  

WE HAVE THEM BEAT ON SHEER JOY FACTOR…….YES WE CAN…….to happy to go to any more serious, droll, pecking order of power postering repub stuff…..had more fun falling down with a watermelon at the lake picnic pavilion on last Saturday. 

See you stayed with me and I took you all the way through that……my pansy baskets are gasping for water in the front…..they are more fun that a packed room of repubs……V.

She puts her fist in the air and rallies the PUMAS with “until every voice is heard”.  Surely, in the short time before the convention somebody will step in and tell her we do not need to export this type of chaos to the world stage in the convention.  But nobody stepped up to the plate to tell her before until it was a public disgrace for her to be up in front of crowds. 

    Do we need the security pulling mad dog old dames out of the convention floor on world wide video?

Goodmorning Media,…..I know some of you are up tonight looking on the blogs for your next news draft.  Well…..let me help you along….this is a copy of one of Barack’s Speech and I will highlight a good answer for the latest right wing smears from Barack’s own words…that was so well said….here is a full copy of the speech and the highlights are mine.

 

Barack Obama – U.S. Senator for Illinois – obama.senate.gov‘Call to Renewal’ Keynote AddressWednesday, June 28, 2006Washington, DC

Good morning. I appreciate the opportunity to speak here at the Call to Renewal’s Building a Covenant for a New America conference. I’ve had the opportunity to take a look at your Covenant for a New America. It is filled with outstanding policies and prescriptions for much of what ails this country. So I’d like to congratulate you all on the thoughtful presentations you’ve given so far about poverty and justice in America, and for putting fire under the feet of the political leadership here in Washington.

But today I’d like to talk about the connection between religion and politics and perhaps offer some thoughts about how we can sort through some of the often bitter arguments that we’ve been seeing over the last several years.

I do so because, as you all know, we can affirm the importance of poverty in the Bible; and we can raise up and pass out this Covenant for a New America. We can talk to the press, and we can discuss the religious call to address poverty and environmental stewardship all we want, but it won’t have an impact unless we tackle head-on the mutual suspicion that sometimes exists between religious America and secular America.

I want to give you an example that I think illustrates this fact. As some of you know, during the 2004 U.S. Senate General Election I ran against a gentleman named Alan Keyes. Mr. Keyes is well-versed in the Jerry Falwell-Pat Robertson style of rhetoric that often labels progressives as both immoral and godless.

Indeed, Mr. Keyes announced towards the end of the campaign that, “Jesus Christ would not vote for Barack Obama. Christ would not vote for Barack Obama because Barack Obama has behaved in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.”

Jesus Christ would not vote for Barack Obama.

Now, I was urged by some of my liberal supporters not to take this statement seriously, to essentially ignore it. To them, Mr. Keyes was an extremist, and his arguments not worth entertaining. And since at the time, I was up 40 points in the polls, it probably wasn’t a bad piece of strategic advice.

But what they didn’t understand, however, was that I had to take Mr. Keyes seriously, for he claimed to speak for my religion, and my God. He claimed knowledge of certain truths.

Mr. Obama says he’s a Christian, he was saying, and yet he supports a lifestyle that the Bible calls an abomination.

Mr. Obama says he’s a Christian, but supports the destruction of innocent and sacred life.

And so what would my supporters have me say? How should I respond? Should I say that a literalist reading of the Bible was folly? Should I say that Mr. Keyes, who is a Roman Catholic, should ignore the teachings of the Pope?

Unwilling to go there, I answered with what has come to be the typically liberal response in such debates – namely, I said that we live in a pluralistic society, that I can’t impose my own religious views on another, that I was running to be the U.S. Senator of Illinois and not the Minister of Illinois.

But Mr. Keyes’s implicit accusation that I was not a true Christian nagged at me, and I was also aware that my answer did not adequately address the role my faith has in guiding my own values and my own beliefs.

Now, my dilemma was by no means unique. In a way, it reflected the broader debate we’ve been having in this country for the last thirty years over the role of religion in politics.

For some time now, there has been plenty of talk among pundits and pollsters that the political divide in this country has fallen sharply along religious lines. Indeed, the single biggest “gap” in party affiliation among white Americans today is not between men and women, or those who reside in so-called Red States and those who reside in Blue, but between those who attend church regularly and those who don’t.

Conservative leaders have been all too happy to exploit this gap, consistently reminding evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their Church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage; school prayer and intelligent design.

Democrats, for the most part, have taken the bait. At best, we may try to avoid the conversation about religious values altogether, fearful of offending anyone and claiming that – regardless of our personal beliefs – constitutional principles tie our hands. At worst, there are some liberals who dismiss religion in the public square as inherently irrational or intolerant, insisting on a caricature of religious Americans that paints them as fanatical, or thinking that the very word “Christian” describes one’s political opponents, not people of faith.

Now, such strategies of avoidance may work for progressives when our opponent is Alan Keyes. But over the long haul, I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the power of faith in people’s lives — in the lives of the American people — and I think it’s time that we join a serious debate about how to reconcile faith with our modern, pluralistic democracy.

And if we’re going to do that then we first need to understand that Americans are a religious people. 90 percent of us believe in God, 70 percent affiliate themselves with an organized religion, 38 percent call themselves committed Christians, and substantially more people in America believe in angels than they do in evolution.

This religious tendency is not simply the result of successful marketing by skilled preachers or the draw of popular mega-churches. In fact, it speaks to a hunger that’s deeper than that – a hunger that goes beyond any particular issue or cause.

Each day, it seems, thousands of Americans are going about their daily rounds – dropping off the kids at school, driving to the office, flying to a business meeting, shopping at the mall, trying to stay on their diets – and they’re coming to the realization that something is missing. They are deciding that their work, their possessions, their diversions, their sheer busyness, is not enough.

They want a sense of purpose, a narrative arc to their lives. They’re looking to relieve a chronic loneliness, a feeling supported by a recent study that shows Americans have fewer close friends and confidants than ever before. And so they need an assurance that somebody out there cares about them, is listening to them – that they are not just destined to travel down that long highway towards nothingness.

And I speak with some experience on this matter. I was not raised in a particularly religious household, as undoubtedly many in the audience were. My father, who returned to Kenya when I was just two, was born Muslim but as an adult became an atheist. My mother, whose parents were non-practicing Baptists and Methodists, was probably one of the most spiritual and kindest people I’ve ever known, but grew up with a healthy skepticism of organized religion herself. As a consequence, so did I.

It wasn’t until after college, when I went to Chicago to work as a community organizer for a group of Christian churches, that I confronted my own spiritual dilemma.

I was working with churches, and the Christians who I worked with recognized themselves in me. They saw that I knew their Book and that I shared their values and sang their songs. But they sensed that a part of me that remained removed, detached, that I was an observer in their midst.

And in time, I came to realize that something was missing as well — that without a vessel for my beliefs, without a commitment to a particular community of faith, at some level I would always remain apart, and alone.

And if it weren’t for the particular attributes of the historically black church, I may have accepted this fate. But as the months passed in Chicago, I found myself drawn – not just to work with the church, but to be in the church.

For one thing, I believed and still believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change, a power made real by some of the leaders here today. Because of its past, the black church understands in an intimate way the Biblical call to feed the hungry and cloth the naked and challenge powers and principalities. And in its historical struggles for freedom and the rights of man, I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world. As a source of hope.

And perhaps it was out of this intimate knowledge of hardship — the grounding of faith in struggle — that the church offered me a second insight, one that I think is important to emphasize today.

Faith doesn’t mean that you don’t have doubts.

You need to come to church in the first place precisely because you are first of this world, not apart from it. You need to embrace Christ precisely because you have sins to wash away – because you are human and need an ally in this difficult journey.

It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street in the Southside of Chicago one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. I didn’t fall out in church. The questions I had didn’t magically disappear. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt that I heard God’s spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth.

That’s a path that has been shared by millions upon millions of Americans – evangelicals, Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Muslims alike; some since birth, others at certain turning points in their lives. It is not something they set apart from the rest of their beliefs and values. In fact, it is often what drives their beliefs and their values.

And that is why that, if we truly hope to speak to people where they’re at – to communicate our hopes and values in a way that’s relevant to their own – then as progressives, we cannot abandon the field of religious discourse.

Because when we ignore the debate about what it means to be a good Christian or Muslim or Jew; when we discuss religion only in the negative sense of where or how it should not be practiced, rather than in the positive sense of what it tells us about our obligations towards one another; when we shy away from religious venues and religious broadcasts because we assume that we will be unwelcome – others will fill the vacuum, those with the most insular views of faith, or those who cynically use religion to justify partisan ends.

In other words, if we don’t reach out to evangelical Christians and other religious Americans and tell them what we stand for, then the Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons and Alan Keyeses will continue to hold sway.

More fundamentally, the discomfort of some progressives with any hint of religion has often prevented us from effectively addressing issues in moral terms. Some of the problem here is rhetorical – if we scrub language of all religious content, we forfeit the imagery and terminology through which millions of Americans understand both their personal morality and social justice.

Imagine Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address without reference to “the judgments of the Lord.” Or King’s I Have a Dream speech without references to “all of God’s children.” Their summoning of a higher truth helped inspire what had seemed impossible, and move the nation to embrace a common destiny.

Our failure as progressives to tap into the moral underpinnings of the nation is not just rhetorical, though. Our fear of getting “preachy” may also lead us to discount the role that values and culture play in some of our most urgent social problems.

After all, the problems of poverty and racism, the uninsured and the unemployed, are not simply technical problems in search of the perfect ten point plan. They are rooted in both societal indifference and individual callousness – in the imperfections of man.

Solving these problems will require changes in government policy, but it will also require changes in hearts and a change in minds. I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manufacturers’ lobby – but I also believe that when a gang-banger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels somebody disrespected him, we’ve got a moral problem. There’s a hole in that young man’s heart – a hole that the government alone cannot fix.

I believe in vigorous enforcement of our non-discrimination laws. But I also believe that a transformation of conscience and a genuine commitment to diversity on the part of the nation’s CEOs could bring about quicker results than a battalion of lawyers. They have more lawyers than us anyway.

I think that we should put more of our tax dollars into educating poor girls and boys. I think that the work that Marian Wright Edelman has done all her life is absolutely how we should prioritize our resources in the wealthiest nation on earth. I also think that we should give them the information about contraception that can prevent unwanted pregnancies, lower abortion rates, and help assure that that every child is loved and cherished.

But, you know, my Bible tells me that if we train a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it. So I think faith and guidance can help fortify a young woman’s sense of self, a young man’s sense of responsibility, and a sense of reverence that all young people should have for the act of sexual intimacy.

I am not suggesting that every progressive suddenly latch on to religious terminology – that can be dangerous. Nothing is more transparent than inauthentic expressions of faith. As Jim has mentioned, some politicians come and clap — off rhythm — to the choir. We don’t need that.

In fact, because I do not believe that religious people have a monopoly on morality, I would rather have someone who is grounded in morality and ethics, and who is also secular, affirm their morality and ethics and values without pretending that they’re something they’re not. They don’t need to do that. None of us need to do that.

But what I am suggesting is this – secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering into the public square. Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, Williams Jennings Bryant, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King – indeed, the majority of great reformers in American history – were not only motivated by faith, but repeatedly used religious language to argue for their cause. So to say that men and women should not inject their “personal morality” into public policy debates is a practical absurdity. Our law is by definition a codification of morality, much of it grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Moreover, if we progressives shed some of these biases, we might recognize some overlapping values that both religious and secular people share when it comes to the moral and material direction of our country. We might recognize that the call to sacrifice on behalf of the next generation, the need to think in terms of “thou” and not just “I,” resonates in religious congregations all across the country. And we might realize that we have the ability to reach out to the evangelical community and engage millions of religious Americans in the larger project of American renewal.

Some of this is already beginning to happen. Pastors, friends of mine like Rick Warren and T.D. Jakes are wielding their enormous influences to confront AIDS, Third World debt relief, and the genocide in Darfur. Religious thinkers and activists like our good friend Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo are lifting up the Biblical injunction to help the poor as a means of mobilizing Christians against budget cuts to social programs and growing inequality.

And by the way, we need Christians on Capitol Hill, Jews on Capitol Hill and Muslims on Capitol Hill talking about the estate tax. When you’ve got an estate tax debate that proposes a trillion dollars being taken out of social programs to go to a handful of folks who don’t need and weren’t even asking for it, you know that we need an injection of morality in our political debate.

Across the country, individual churches like my own and your own are sponsoring day care programs, building senior centers, helping ex-offenders reclaim their lives, and rebuilding our gulf coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

So the question is, how do we build on these still-tentative partnerships between religious and secular people of good will? It’s going to take more work, a lot more work than we’ve done so far. The tensions and the suspicions on each side of the religious divide will have to be squarely addressed. And each side will need to accept some ground rules for collaboration.

While I’ve already laid out some of the work that progressive leaders need to do, I want to talk a little bit about what conservative leaders need to do — some truths they need to acknowledge.

For one, they need to understand the critical role that the separation of church and state has played in preserving not only our democracy, but the robustness of our religious practice. Folks tend to forget that during our founding, it wasn’t the atheists or the civil libertarians who were the most effective champions of the First Amendment. It was the persecuted minorities, it was Baptists like John Leland who didn’t want the established churches to impose their views on folks who were getting happy out in the fields and teaching the scripture to slaves. It was the forbearers of the evangelicals who were the most adamant about not mingling government with religious, because they did not want state-sponsored religion hindering their ability to practice their faith as they understood it.

Moreover, given the increasing diversity of America’s population, the dangers of sectarianism have never been greater. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.

And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson’s, or Al Sharpton’s? Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount – a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let’s read our bibles. Folks haven’t been reading their bibles.

This brings me to my second point. Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.

Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God’s edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one’s life on such uncompromising commitments may be sublime, but to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing. And if you doubt that, let me give you an example.

We all know the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham is ordered by God to offer up his only son, and without argument, he takes Isaac to the mountaintop, binds him to an altar, and raises his knife, prepared to act as God has commanded.

Of course, in the end God sends down an angel to intercede at the very last minute, and Abraham passes God’s test of devotion.

But it’s fair to say that if any of us leaving this church saw Abraham on a roof of a building raising his knife, we would, at the very least, call the police and expect the Department of Children and Family Services to take Isaac away from Abraham. We would do so because we do not hear what Abraham hears, do not see what Abraham sees, true as those experiences may be. So the best we can do is act in accordance with those things that we all see, and that we all hear, be it common laws or basic reason.

Finally, any reconciliation between faith and democratic pluralism requires some sense of proportion.

This goes for both sides.

Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.

The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.

But a sense of proportion should also guide those who police the boundaries between church and state. Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation – context matters. It is doubtful that children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance feel oppressed or brainwashed as a consequence of muttering the phrase “under God.” I didn’t. Having voluntary student prayer groups use school property to meet should not be a threat, any more than its use by the High School Republicans should threaten Democrats. And one can envision certain faith-based programs – targeting ex-offenders or substance abusers – that offer a uniquely powerful way of solving problems.

So we all have some work to do here. But I am hopeful that we can bridge the gaps that exist and overcome the prejudices each of us bring to this debate. And I have faith that millions of believing Americans want that to happen. No matter how religious they may or may not be, people are tired of seeing faith used as a tool of attack. They don’t want faith used to belittle or to divide. They’re tired of hearing folks deliver more screed than sermon. Because in the end, that’s not how they think about faith in their own lives.

So let me end with just one other interaction I had during my campaign. A few days after I won the Democratic nomination in my U.S. Senate race, I received an email from a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical School that said the following:

“Congratulations on your overwhelming and inspiring primary win. I was happy to vote for you, and I will tell you that I am seriously considering voting for you in the general election. I write to express my concerns that may, in the end, prevent me from supporting you.”

The doctor described himself as a Christian who understood his commitments to be “totalizing.” His faith led him to a strong opposition to abortion and gay marriage, although he said that his faith also led him to question the idolatry of the free market and quick resort to militarism that seemed to characterize much of the Republican agenda.

But the reason the doctor was considering not voting for me was not simply my position on abortion. Rather, he had read an entry that my campaign had posted on my website, which suggested that I would fight “right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman’s right to choose.” The doctor went on to write:

“I sense that you have a strong sense of justice…and I also sense that you are a fair minded person with a high regard for reason…Whatever your convictions, if you truly believe that those who oppose abortion are all ideologues driven by perverse desires to inflict suffering on women, then you, in my judgment, are not fair-minded….You know that we enter times that are fraught with possibilities for good and for harm, times when we are struggling to make sense of a common polity in the context of plurality, when we are unsure of what grounds we have for making any claims that involve others…I do not ask at this point that you oppose abortion, only that you speak about this issue in fair-minded words.”

Fair-minded words.

So I looked at my website and found the offending words. In fairness to them, my staff had written them using standard Democratic boilerplate language to summarize my pro-choice position during the Democratic primary, at a time when some of my opponents were questioning my commitment to protect Roe v. Wade.

Re-reading the doctor’s letter, though, I felt a pang of shame. It is people like him who are looking for a deeper, fuller conversation about religion in this country. They may not change their positions, but they are willing to listen and learn from those who are willing to speak in fair-minded words. Those who know of the central and awesome place that God holds in the lives of so many, and who refuse to treat faith as simply another political issue with which to score points.

So I wrote back to the doctor, and I thanked him for his advice. The next day, I circulated the email to my staff and changed the language on my website to state in clear but simple terms my pro-choice position. And that night, before I went to bed, I said a prayer of my own – a prayer that I might extend the same presumption of good faith to others that the doctor had extended to me.

And that night, before I went to bed I said a prayer of my own. It’s a prayer I think I share with a lot of Americans. A hope that we can live with one another in a way that reconciles the beliefs of each with the good of all. It’s a prayer worth praying, and a conversation worth having in this country in the months and years to come. Thank you.

I will not Slander or call McCain Names……

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Jul 26th, 2008 at 1:48 am EDT

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

He is at the end of his life.  Spent it in public service, war hero, and should have some comfort in these years. 

He was set up to be the repub rep. and it was to be a retirement party like that for Bob Dole when Clinton ran.  Hillary was to be the ‘face’ for the Presidency. 

Bill Clinton and Daddy Bush are co-CEO’s in the Dubai corporation.  [Middle East firm]

Barack upset the apple cart and took the country by storm.  Now McCain, agree with him or not, you can have some sympathy for him, now has to try to bring the trophy home for the repub team.  He has to endure age jokes, health ridicule, and every other form of bias. 

Is that not just as bad to ridicule and make fun of some one’s physical attribute and any other thing you can think of.

No, I do not want him to be President.  Yes, I am a Repub for Obama.  No, I do not think McCain is relevant to the times and capable.  But I will not slander him for inadequacies that are other than the qualifications for Office….hmmmm….V.

Goodmorning all…..I am off to my office but stopped for a minute at my computer and put the TV on to hear a little news.  A little news is all I can handle nowadays.  Just a few minutes to tune in.  Barack is on from the Middle East and his calm gentle speech of discussing the issues is a great way to start the morning. 

When Barack is inaugurated next January, he will be the voice we hear when the President of the United States is speaking to the country.  That is the voice I want to hear. 

It is our job to make that happen.  Truth, Knowledge, gentle understanding of the issues.

The equal employment act extends to the President of the United States.  He draws a paycheck and is an employee of the American Taxpayers.

The New Yorker tampered with that hiring process in every single tenet of the Equal  Employment Act.  Even to placing a muslim turban on the characters head.

The should be made accountable.

Imagine, you are placing a job interview with a local company, and you and your family are depicted in the Sunday paper with untruths at the level of this one. 

Did they interfer with your hiring and employee status: certainly they did.

The President of the United States is an employee of the  People.  The election season is an interview session of the prospective candidates for the position.  The President draws a paycheck from the American Taxpayers.  

With that in mind, did not The New Yorker attack a prospective employee in violation  of the non-decrimination act, in painting the family as sterotypes of racial genre that they are not. 

Equal employment without descrimination as to race, gender, familial status, religious affiliation……I think that The New Yorker just about covered all of these and should be responsible. 

Some of you legal types help me out on this one.  I  think the mags should be pulled from circulation and action taken for the equal employment act.  That trumps the ‘free speech’ thingy..  You can say anything you want to, but you must be responsible for what you say.

The following is a copy of a comment to yet another FISA [I am not going to vote for you post] I question if these people are really Obama supporters or not….here’s what I said…. 

 

I am sorry that you feel that way.  I heard that Obama made a ‘Presidential’ decision.  To vote for it now to protect our nation and deal with it personally in the White House Oval Office as President and take off some of the rough edges.  He can’t do that if you do not vote for him because of one issue.  We have an entire nation to save.  Do you think that you agree with every issue of someone else and they do not have one issue that is not polished perfect to your agenda?

Every facet of this nation has an issue to fix.  Get over it.  We have work to do.  Getting Barack in the Oval Office is just a start.

What a nice way to start the morning. Barack Obama on CNN and they played the entire speech without commentary, or breaking in. What a wonderful speech it was. About all of us doing our part just where we are and that our children do not have the knowledge of history that we do.

Out here where the morning just started and the summer has just now come to the upper northwest corner of the nation. We just turned our furnace off last week. We had turned it off for 3 days and could not make it waking up to 43 degrees and moisture. Paying fuel, energy, propane costs makes the problems Barack spoke about more than just words to this area.

We needed him in office last January, we cannot miss next January.

My Unknown Soldier

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Jun 28th, 2008 at 12:29 am EDT

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

I live up in WA state now.  I grew up in Odessa and Dallas.  I graduated High School in 1968.  All of the young men and some of the women were ‘over there’, Nam, or out of the country or laying low.  I married in College,a 4F, unfit for service.  A very good man that died of cancer in 1972.  I have a lovely son who is a credit to his nation and he has a great family.  I had problems with a 22 month old, newly widowed and trying to find a new job in Dallas in 1972. 22 years old. 

All of the young women from the small towns were in Dallas because they would have normally married in their hometown.  They were competing for jobs and husbands. 
The divorce rate in Dallas in the ’70’s was awful.  2 years was a long time to be married in North Dallas.  I finally remarried and left Dallas and had 2 girls, he was 17 years older.  He left us after 10 years.  I always wondered if the husband I was to supposed to have died in Nam, MIA, or in a Vet hospital somewhere.  I have prayed for that unknown man off and on most of my life.

The same thing is starting to happen in this country now.  The young men and some young women are ‘over there’ Irag and other foreign countries.  The economy is slow here and I wonder if it is somewhat because they are not here, working, having families, and that age group are big consumers.  Maybe we will find out when Obama is in the White House and they come home.  V.

Pick for “Veep”

By Verna ..v.o.b…..prayers for the ‘Man’ – Jun 26th, 2008 at 11:01 am EDT

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

Barack Obama should pick his ‘veep’ as the person he wants to see coming into the Oval Office each morning to do a briefing with and knows and trusts that person to work with them. That should be the only consideration.  He is taking on the executive position of the three prong constitutional branches to run this country.  That has nothing to do with ‘polls’ as far as I know.

So much for the administration of her campaign, thank God some people saw the light and she is not in line for administration of the nation,.  I was terrified of that possibility.  She owes a lot of small businesses that did not sign on to do it as a donation to her campaign or should she report it as a donation until it is paid?

 I have real trouble seeing her in a possible joint appearance with Obama.  How do you accept it with all of these debts owed and mistakes?

Treat  Ralph Nader like a Third Rail…..don’t touch it.   Do not give answers to the muck that comes out.  Stay above this.  It is a trap to get you to respond to it. 

You have wonderfully given your time and effort to the American People.  You are engaged in every effort and respod to everyone.  This is the time to let them have there own way and stay out of it. 

You are so far above them.  They will not catch up in their lifetime, they just don’t get it.  Like the old commercial, “If you have to ask, I  can’t explain it to you “

They are baiting you to talk about race so it is you talking about it.   You and we the Obama supporters do not care one flip about any of that.  The rest of the world has not caught on yet.  It is a YES WE CAN group and WE is all of us.

Web Cam your summer vacations

Web cam your family getogethers.  There is so much on the market today to join the tech revolution.  It makes so much sense.  Just take care of yourself and loved ones and give your family and extended families a break this summer from extra costs. 

Do something special with the loved ones at home.  Trips to your own home town summer events or nearby parks and things.  I had a great time at a parade in a small town.  Maybe you and your neighbors can have a street bar b que pot luck. 

Have a company or neighborhood ball game at a park, go to swimming pools, go for an afternoon ice cream after doing the yard with your kids.  All the great things you will remember later in life.  Take photos, tour your town museum, aquarium, zoos. 

No one will fault you for taking an All American summer in your home town.  WE are all in this together.

She is talking about the external heat powering her internal heat to get moving for Obama. 

I have to admit that I zone out when it comes to talk about solar energy.  I just do not see it as a strong source of energy.  That is photocell engineering….but what about all the heat that is produced on the desert. 

Could that heat be used to convert to electric energy.  Like a magnifying glass on a bug?  That is the true cost of energy is the fuel to move the generator.

I am going to change what I put in my gas tank. I just got the info on using a small inexpensive converter to use have the gas and half the hydrogen from a very small amount of water. That is real change, and it is half gas and half hydrogen. It is common fact that Iceland and other countries are mass producing cars that run entirely on hydrogen from water. The media censors the public common knowledge. We have a lot of change to do in this country and it is going to take all of us.

Yes it is true that the best change comes from making informed decisions. But the hardest change has been so far is to get the brainwashed minds to listen to the solution to their problem.  The American mind set is that if it does not come from big business, in the media, and I do something that is different, I won’t listen to anything that takes me away from that mind set.That is the true essence of the product of Propaganda.

The Change we are looking for is far greater that just taking our country back, we want to Change our country into the vision we all have of a great homeland for all Americans.

I have changed.  I no longer identify with the repub party.  That is huge.  If I can do that, anyone can Change for the greater good of ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation.

It is just like a great big family in a home.  The home is what the members of the household make it. 

Clean or dirty, happy or warlike, productive or slothful, sharing or selfish, making decisions for the greater good of the whole, or making alliances with outside forces to the distruction of the unit.

There is great joy in being clean, happy, productive, sharing, making the choices for the greater good of the whole.

There is a part of me that says, we do not need “Big Brother” owning homes. 

Regulate and stop predatory lending, give help to those who are still in there homes not to lose them, AND DEBT FORGIVENESS for those that have lost there homes because many of them may never recover.  We are talking about homes, families, working people that need a home to go to to keep on the job and a stable enviornment for the youth, and the aged.

As far as the other properities that have gone before, restore them to the owners,  YEEEAAA! Is that not what you do when someone has been wronged because of a crime. 

Restitution?  Not in 20 years.  How about 30 to 45 days, before the start of another school term, with no payments for one to five years, because of harm done.

Or,

Just let the property go down, and the prices also, until someone in the market place gets it and fixes it up.  Big Brother will buy them and fix them up with white wash and glue and put them on the market at the previous rates and mortgage them over and over again, same villian, different name.

If everyone cut their gasoline and fuel consumption in atleast HALF.  Even if you are making do or can afford to spend all you want to, HALF of all consumption cuts the money in HALF nationally for Oil Company profits.

Can we all agree to spread the word out to spend HALF of all fuel costs for a month.  Or say Sept 1.  You can still do stuff and take kids on trips, just don’t spend miles on other stuff.

HALF THE MILES IS HALF THE MONEY, or bike, walk, car pool, neighbors or family errands all done on one day.

That is pure sea water [Mentioned in a previous post}.  Real sea water is a cosmic mixture of minerals and carbons and hydrogen. 

Everything on earth can be reduced to a molecular set of atoms that come from the table of elements.  It is a finite site of discovered basic elements of all matter.  Take real sea water down to the basic elements and gasoline and see what it would take to add to the basic atoms to create the “clone for gasoline”. 

Ethylene is not the basic atoms, it is a combination of atoms to make a liquid.  Dig a little deeper than that.

Start with what we have and go from there

I am not one to quote Charles Rangle, but I caught this in the heat of battle a few months ago, he said, “We have to start with what we have and go from there.”

We have a great, dynamic, intellectual Statesman, willing to stand up to the challenge and be the nominee for 44th President of the United States.  We have a gracious First Lady, an intellect in her own right, a couple who looks after the careful raising of their two daughters.

A National economic crisis, witht the wolves tending the Hen House.

A War that is ongoing, and trumping all previous budgets combined, $800 Billion?

A Flooded midsection of the country, with a water shortage in others.

A National homeland security patroled seemingly  by the headless horseman.

A crumblinly infrastructure, with no plans in sight to do even minimal repair.

A National fuel crisis, robbing the pockets of those that are still in their homes, that have jobs and vehicles.

A tax system that makes slaves of those with a job, all others ride free.

If it were not for the internet, our young would be illiterate.

At least 3 generations younger than me that all will want and need all the things that I have given up on. 

A boggled medical care system that sends the poor to the emergency room for the most expensive care available and taxpayers pick up the tab.  No follow up or continuing care for working poor and self-employed. 

A Congress trying to do double time to make up for lost time in an election year for the fiscal mess that we are in. 

Veterans, John McCain did not bother to go vote for your benefits, he was out raising money for his campaign.

Transportation is in pre-chaos, fuel costs, recalled vehicles, re-po’s, some folks making a choice between paying gas credit card to commute to stay on the job or pay their car payment, or lose their home.

A flood district of rivers and levees that is more than a century old that costs all of us in food and insurance and tax money.  We need a massive overhaul to save that fresh water for use.

Pollution, we are nuts to even buy more stuff that is turned into garbage.  We are taking our money and buying stuff to put in the trash.  We might as well stand over the trash and throw money in it.

I hope global warming and poisoning the planet, fish feeding on garbage in the ocean has a way of working itself out, we got too much to do before we are all on survival.

My problems today?  Yeah I have some, but my heart goes out to those on the list above.

We now know where we are, we have to start with what we have…..$800 Billion would go a long way to give jobs and help folks out and fix stuff. 

If I understand this, then why are the news and government doing silly airhead stuff.

It must be a time for a CHANGE.

Did the church give publication rights to the Cable news media? 

 Who gave permission for a religious church service to show up on the TV.?

With the freedom to worship, who is going to the church to video the sermon to hold accountable the attendees, and charges against a parishoner that was not in church.  This is serious my friends.  The media needed ratings and a buzz for Friday, or else the news was going to happen tomorrow. 

 I with all of the ratings that they made, they should pay the church royalties.

Dear John McCain and MSNBC News

Also listed in: Bellingham WA for Obama

Dear John McCain and MSNBC,

       I am listening to John McCain as I write this.  I heard the ’set up’ question about “Should Barack Obama leave his church because of what pastor speaking in his church said.”

       Then you, John McCain gave your prepared statement, “I know and respect Hillary Clinton, …..and anyone should consider that remark….”

         A:  We have freedom of religion, and free speech in this country.

         B.  Where were you when Hillary and Bill Clinton made such awful statements

         C.  Hillary just recently sat in front of General Petraeus in a Senate congressional hearing on CSPAN and she was so self absorbed that she did not make any meaningful statements, and did not listen to, and respond in cognitive recognition to the non-statements by Petraeus.  She had her opportunity to make a stand like she has screamed from her campaign podiums.  It was a non-event and a total waste of time…….Barack Obama is more engaged in the totality of our nation than the talking wags that spout their non-speech, non-events….

          D.  I write this as a repub for Obama for all of the above reasons and many many more that grow every time I hear a repub speak….appalling, of all the issues we face individually and as a nation.  

         Please keep up this good work, any rational person would see this as a I do.  We are gaining more and more people to this site everyday.  MSNBC you have another TIME OUT for bad behavior.  V.

Reasons to forego impeachment Of current Administration

No, we have enough messes to clean up without the horrible distraction of this one. 
Case in point:  The time and effort, funds and press, to fight Hillary Clinton would have been better spent to work on the issues we face as individuals and as a nation. 

We need to focus on getting Barack Obama elected and go forward.  The new administration will by its presence alone will nullify most or all of the things that are warped.

History will and has taken care of the vendetta mentality that most people face. 

We need the Congress to focus on the regulatory agencies, the financial problems, the foreign policy, the economy and the ecology.

We need to just have a new resident in the White House and all of the people, [thank you God] that will come in to fix this mess.  It will not be an easy job and no need to put something in place that will detract from that.  That is not giving a pass to the perpetrators.  It is in effect putting the Gerald Ford solution to the problem.  As uncomfortable as it may feel, that is what in my opinion what must be done.  The media making millions is the only winner in that prospect. 

There is no illusion as to the unhappiness that this country feels.  Sometimes just surgery and a bandage is necessary.  Remove the tumor and get well.  V.

CSPAN Caller just now made excellent point

Having just viewed the McCain speech on ALL NEWS CHANNELS, I switched to CSPAN and it was on there also.  To spare myself the pundits dialog on the same I switched to CSPAN and stayed there.

The point made by the caller:

I did not know that I would be voting for McCain’s speech writer, not McCain. [paraphrased]

That is an excellent point.  He said he did not know what McCain thought himself. 

With Barack Obama, we know what he is about, he tells us. 

Then as I was writing this, another person called in and [I will spare you the demographics] said a lot of untruths about Obama knowing foreign policy.   I do not know that these dear ones would ever understand if they heard it.  We just have to educate everyone we can.

Barack Obama and a Republican Senator went to Russia to talk to the heads of state about nuclear proliferation when he was new in the Senate.  I don’t know the details but that is HUGE in my book.  You can not know a lot of small details, but for however the outcome of that visit, the EXPERIENCE, is awesome. 

He did not go as the Repub’s wife or aide, he was there representing the American people as one of 100 US Senators of the United States of America.  That in itself is huge. 

 

Other than that, good morning from the LEFT coast, [ I don't like that term].  

Obama’s super that he picked up that put him under 50 to go had a first name Verna? 

Late ta, V.

Hello America

Just because your VISA card still works does not mean everything is OK.  The price of the pound and euro [as reported by financial 'news' heads] is falling. 

The Pound and the Euro are not measures of the Dollar….the American Dollar is making a small come back. 

The American Dollar is RISING against the Pound and the Euro.  

Just something for your to contemplate over the Bar-B-ques with family and friends this week end.

maybe some of you will even ‘get it’ that the American financial news is using the Pound and the Euro as the standard to measure the American Dollar now.

The design has so been changed that it has unhinged our emotional attraction to the actual bills and the trust in the currency is a long way for its evaluation….

The evidence in front of you…..don’t be a frog in a beaker.

My friends are baffled by my hard pressed blogging

My dear friends this is why I am pressed to get Hillary out of the race.  America as we know it is fighting for it’s life.

Working for the GOP?,….how about, Daddy Bush and Bill Clinton are CEO’s of Dubai Corporation.  Hillary is just the face for the same ‘ole, same ‘ole, stuff….it has been reported here on this blog many many times.  Most of the details are in very long article blogs that are cut and pasted that no one reads. 

bil and dubya’s daddy are partners.  dubya was just a puppet of dad.  I really actually feel for him…he was used…and a sober alcoholic.

A vote for Hillary, or McCain is a vote for Bush 41 and the one world order and slavery of all of the American People.

You spared us having to have your videos and voice on the airwaves all weekend.  And the horrid Indy car video from being played all weekend. 

I hope that a lot of media people got overtime this weekend to re-vamp the news for 3 days.  They can’t just re-play the mind numbing stuff that was set for us.   It will be a stimulus paycheck for the economy. 

Hold it,……CNN is still doing damage control and running old stuff…..you know the Clinton News Network stuff.

Place a huge granite and marble mausoleum at the exact place. 

The Clinton Power Regime of Madness is buried here.
