Well, I'm back. Been awhile. busy, busy month. It is a most distressing month. I love the holiday, but this comercialized version is getting old. What ever happened to celebrating Christmas with just a few family and friends. I guess that goes with getting older. When you are married, you have to do the family thing then the in-law thing. Not to mention the home thing for your kids. It was quite a chore.
We told the truth to my daughter this year. She took it very well. No santa. She was really glad, cause now she knows for sure that we will know what she wants for Christmas.
I can't wait till things get back to normal.

This is a comment that I wrote to kensaku delta. I want some of you good people that read my stuff to pop over to Eddie's blog 10-15 and check out the comments on his post No Justice In Our Justice System.
That is what fueld this comment::::
So you want to play the inteligent card, uh. You think my wife is just an okie hillbilly. Yea, that's right, my wife. You should pay attention a little more and you would catch that. Servant is a woman. As far as you saying "real" christians don't talk like she did. Don't use that kind of language. Answer me this. What did she say that was truly wrong with what she said. She pointed to the obvious. The simple fact of the matter is that people want to jump all over christians when they get upset with what they are doing, but if you would read the bible, even Jesus got mad. The bible says you can get mad, but do not sin. Jesus got mad at the people in the synaguoge that was buying and selling in there. It was wrong for them to that. Jesus dumped there stuff over and kicked them out. getting mad at something and taking action, calling it what it is, is not against God's principle. You may bring up the verse that says Judge not lest you be Judged, but that verse is the most mis-used verse in the bible. People use that every time that they don't want to be told they are wrong. Guess what? It is saying, don't point a finger if you yourself is in the wrong. Don't be a hyprocrit. If you are doing something that someonelse is doing, then you have no right to tell them they are wrong. I am an ex user. I used crank and cocain. And maryjane. Servant has cousins that live in Seatle. They are in that drug scene. Drugs are alot more deadly then cigerets(I know, bad spelling.) The fact in the matter, as far as the cussing goes, if that is the only way you have to get your point across, you will be a sad lawyer. That is not name calling, just the facts. I use to talk the same, but realized I could make people understand my FURY WITHOUT THOSE TYPES WORD.
And you are right, sitting on a pew every sunday don't make you a christian. It takes a commitment to him. It takes being filled with his spirit. It takes being baptized in his name. As far as the prohibition, or the legalizing of drugs. They are totaly different in nature. In prohibition, a majority of the police in this country was against the prohibition. most were drinkers themselves, and very corrupt. As a result, most were on the take. Drugs today are a diferent matter. Most honest people understand the problems with drugs. Most of your law enforcement is also against drugs. So no, i don't believe in legalization. And by the way, my wife is not an okie. Born in Arizona, moved to silverdale, wa, at 10, which as you know is just outside of seatle. First you sound like a street, thug, then when you are confronted, you try to sound inteligent using those big educated words. Don't fly here. Ican talk at any level with you and teach you something about history you never dreamed of.
This person really got under my wife's and my skin. We believe that what is right is right , what is wrong is wrong. If we don't like a law, we need to try to have it changed. But that is what our political system is for. Not to go breaking it because we don't agree with it. The only law I would consider breaking is if they make going to church a crime. And yes, I have a lead foot. But when stopped, I pay ticket and go on. It was my fault, not theirs.

I started this blog because I was getting tired of hearing all the blame that was being thrown at the feds for the way they was handeling Katrina relieve. I want to say that I do understand that the feds could have handled it better. But what was disturbing to me was how nobody on a lower level of authority was willing to shoulder any of the blame. On top of that, the masses, according to the bias liberal media polls, were showing that they believed that all the guilt lied in the hands of our president.
This still puzzles me. After doing this now for a couple of months, and discussing several points, that there are alot of you on this blogstream that holds these same views. I was watching Cspan the other night and a panel of congressmen were interviewing some people from New Orleans. One of the quetions caught my attention. But the answer was what shocked me. The Question: Has anyone helped you since Fema relocated you to Texas. The answer: YES. The man went on to say that the husband of one of the ladies that was working the shelter had alot of empty rent houses. He went to the shelter, picked this guy up and several others, and went and showed them the houses. Put keys in their hands, and let them live their until they got their relieve checks. he said several others really helped out to. BUT THAT WASN'T ALL HE SAID. HE SAID THE PEOPLE HELPED, THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT. HE WAS FURIOUS ABOUT THIS. HE FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GOVERNMENT THAT DID ALL THAT, NOT THE PEOPLE.
Excuse me. Did he not say UNTILL HIS RELIEVE CHECK GOT THERE? That was the feds. He was also taken to Texas by the feds. He seems to think that the government is suppose to do alot that they aren't even designed to do. it isn't the feds job to drive them around and look for a place to stay. They did their job by getting them to Texas. It was that man's job to get his lazy rearend up and help his family, not sit there and say they aint helping us.
I'm glad there still is alot of people willing to help others in this country. What really is absurd is that alot of "good samaritan" stories were left buried, never to be reported. People that gave their money to help the displaced. Gave food, clothing, gas, and other important items. Those that took these people into their homes, dirupting their norm to help others. That is what the 10:00 o'clock news should have been reeporting. But no. When a democrat governor sits there and condemns the president, saying he wasn't doing enough, forget about the real stories, let's jump on that. Forget about trying to find a way to really help these people, let's keep reporting how bad they have it.
Yes, the government should have been a little more organized. But let's face it. The FEMA organization has needed a face lift in organization for years. They were not prepared to face a disaster like this. But neither was anyone else. Most of us was expecting a terrorist attack, not a natural disaster. I'm not saying that to defend them, just that no president, and i say that again, no president has done anything to help FEMA reorganize. They need to manage themselves better. AND MANAGE THEIR MONEY ALOT BETTER.. But there are alot of others that are to blame. But I said it before. It was a natural disaster. No one caused it. What we needed to do was band together, take our loses and help the ones we could.
Yours truly----------The Angry One

There is a misconception that I am nothing more than a flagwaver. That I blindely follow the republican party, mostly Bush, without personal thoughts or ideas. That anything that they do is OK because they are republicans. I'm very offended at that thought. You don't know me, and do not understand much of what I write. I'm actually a poor person, was raised poor, born poor, but I have a brain that I use to try to understand things with. That brain works pretty well at times and it tells me alot.
I do wave a flag. That flag is Old Glory. I wave it high. I wave it because I'm very proud to be an American. I also wave it because I'm proud of those that have fought and died under that flag. They believed in that flag and what it stands for. On Christmas eve, I will be spending it with my Great-Grandfather. He fought in WWII and Korea.
That man raised me from when I was 5 till I turned 11. He ritired from the army after Korea with Lt. Colonel pay because that was the highest rank theat he held. It was a field promotion, so his official retired rank is as Retired Major. He joined before WWII as a private. I'm proud of that man. I watched as he went to funeral after funeral burying those that fought along side him. I stood with him while they honored those that had died in combat. I met alot of veterans while living with him, and I heard therie stories. They are the bravest people I have met.
I heard how they went into battle scared to death, knowing they might never come back. But they went because they believed in what they were doing. Both in WWII and Korea. So Yes, you call me a flag waver. Yes I am. I wave it proudly. That flag stands for honor and courage.
You say that Blindly follow the republicanes. NO I Don't. I follow them because they are rooted in the same way those soldiers are. They stand for what they believe. I klnow not all of them, and I can name a few that have dirtied the GOP nam. Tom Delay is one. But for the most part they believe in the morality that I hold dear. You say they do not. You say they only care for the rich. I say that is not true. You say they fly in the face of biblical principles because they give tax breaks to the rich. I say it is because of biblical reasons that they do. You say if they in congress were really christians, they would tax the rich even more to help the poor. But I say how would that show christianity? To make someone do something is completely against God's word. God gave us our own free will. To force someone to help someone is not right. I completely agree that the rich should help those in need. That is the right thing to do. That is what Christ would do. But it is not right to make someone do this. It is not right to make someone work their rearends off, only to make them give half of it to someone else that is sitting on their rears doing nothing. That is not right.
I say I'm republican, but I will vote for any one that is right for the job. I've voted for dems that were right. I voted for Boren, and would do again. He stands for what he said he would. He has never flip-floped. I agree with most everything he wanted to do as congressman. I vote on issues not whether there is a D or R behind the name.
So yes, I'm a flag waving republican who wholehearted believes in this flag. Born poor, probly always will. But that is my doing not the governments. And it is my resp[onsibilty to overcome this. Not getting a handout by the feds.
And to clear up another point, I know there really are those that need help. They can't work. Really are unfortunate. And I do believe that we should help them. But there are more of those that take advantage of it. And I'm sorry. Those that that do not work that can, needs to get a life.
