I haven't met you yet

Listen Here

But somehow I know that it'll all turn out.

And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out.

And I promise you, kid, I'll give so much more than I get.

I just haven't met you yet.

They say all's fair.

In love and war.

But I won't need to fight it.

We'll get it right and, We'll be united.

And I know that we can be so amazing.

And being in your life is gonna change me.

And now I can see every single possibility, mmmm.

And someday I know it'll all turn out.

And I'll work to work it out.

Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get.

Right-Wing Women Rock

A Free Man Thinking Freely turned me on to this article: Right-Wing Women Rock.
Very entertaining, and a lot of truth to it. It's nice to see that my native country of Canada actually has some men that appreciate conservative women. Lord knows there weren't any that I knew of when I lived there!

This just made me laugh. Hard.

Obama's War - Frontline Special

A look at the war in Afghanistan as a veteran correpsondent Martin Smith travels across Afghanistan and Pakistan to see first-hand how the president's new strategy is taking shape, delivering vivid, on-the-ground reporting from this eight-year-old war's many fronts. Through interviews with top generals, diplomats and government officials, Smith also reports the internal debates over President Obama's grand attempt to combat terrorism at its roots.

Note: Make sure to watch the candid interview with General McChrystal.

The Doctor Fix is In

Health Care Reform Editorial from the Wall Street Journal. All about the "bait and switch" maneuver that is taking place. Worth the read:

The press corps will mostly ignore all of this because it is complicated and boring policy, as opposed to the epic drama of Anita Dunn vs. Glenn Beck. This doctor maneuver is such a cleverly dishonest solution to their many contradictory promises that we're surprised Democrats didn't think of it sooner.

The Nobel Pleeeeeasse Prize

Proof that the Nobel Peace Prize has it's priorities out of whack and is a complete farce.

In 1942 Irena Sendler, a German woman, worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumber/sewage specialist and risked her life smuggling 2500 children and infants out of the ghetto. When the Nazis caught her they broke both her legs and arms in addition to beating her severely. Her story is an amazing one of selflessness, courage, and humanitarianism. Read more here.

In 2007 she was in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize, but instead it was awarded to Al Gore for his contributions on Global Warming.

Let me get this straight - The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a man who made a documentary about theories of Global Warming of which science can't prove? THIS is considered to be more of a humanitarian act than Irena's self sacrifice? She is a woman who took personal risks every day to prevent the destruction of individual lives! Al Gore has made millions off of his concern for Global Warming; when will people get their priorities straight and see through the facade of these type individuals?

What concerns me is this is the type of crap we are allowing in our history books, instead of stories like Irena's. We must demand that people like Irena be awarded and REWARDED for such brave acts. Not narcissistic wannabe celebrities and music artists with foul language that can stay out of jail.

The wrong moral & spiritual priorities
will destroy this world.


Not your carbon footprint.

STOP the Bleeding!

It's interesting to follow politics closely and then deal with people on a daily basis. I'm amazed at just how insouciant the average American is when it comes to politics and the life-changing decisions made by elected officials.

Let's read that again: the life-changing decisions made by elected officials. That is a hard pill to swallow.

A recent poll by Harvard Business Publishing listed Politicians in the top three of the least trusted professions in the United States. They were right up there with Lawyers and Journalists. Knowing this bit of information makes me wonder why so many people keep their head in the sand and expect that the government will fix things by passing another bill that will give us free healthcare, education, housing, and other community "transfusions". When someone is bleeding to death, a doctor will first work on stopping the bleeding before giving the patient a transfusion. America is bleeding profusely and our leaders are insisting on ignoring this fact.

I remember my father telling me that nothing is free and there is always a price to be paid, but I hadn't lived long enough to know what it really was. Well I've lived a while now and the cost of expecting the government to provide free healthcare and housing incentives (think ACORN and the housing bubble) is the freedom to think for ourselves, to create, and prosper. This country was built by people who struggled through adversity and triumphed. They didn't have it handed to them in a trust fund.

- A fine for not participating in government run healthcare?
- The government propping up failing companies like GM and Wall Street?
- State governments raising taxes when their residents are losing their homes and jobs in abundance?

Something more than my 401k is eroding here and it the very foundation of this country. Thomas Jefferson said: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Freedom to me is being able to create my own destiny by choosing how I want to live out my life (with or without health insurance) in a country that has it's borders protected and values its greatest resource: the taxpayer.

Be vigilant!
