A Farewell!!!

This morning is overcast and it probably will rain if we are lucky enough to get one of the scattered storms that arise from the gulf. I have been pondering for quite awhile now of how I will bring my blog to a close. Last evening I watched the panel of candidates that are vying for the presidency and what I observed was a travesty in my opinion. I noted that in the diverse group there was a black man, an indian and a woman. All on the panel gave opinions on a mixture of issues in their hopes of being the one that takes the high office. Are they sincere? Each made comments and took a stance on every controversial issue that was put before them. Several took a partial stand on allowing marriage between homosexuals, the female candidate seems to separate what may be the actions of a future president (her) by recently quoting psalms. Does that mean we can trust her? Okay by now I have at least offended a few people which is my intention. So many of us have been silent because of the fear of repercussions but I am taking a stand now. Yes, I was married for many years (same man) and bore four children. I never had an abortion and if I had found myself in that situation without the benefit of a lawful marriage between a man and woman I would not have aborted it.. there are options to let a life continue. There are many caring people who want a child and will adopt. My blood boils when I realize that saving animals has taken precedence over saving innocent babies still in the mother's womb. There are pictures of dead dogs in garbage cans and that is very sad but not as sad as seeing parts of babies in a garbage can. The elderly and the disabled are being treated as a non- person of no value as they take from the system. I assure you that they are getting only a portion of THEIR money that they paid in as taxes when they worked.

America was founded under God and has been blessed more than any other country. We were a god fearing country, a moral country. As wholesome as apple pie. Then we began thinking that we were doing all these wonderful things on our own (who needs this God we have never seen) and we slowly and steadily began falling. All the problems we have now can only be blamed on our present "anything goes" mentality. I wouldn't have thought that people would openly ridicule the President of the United States. We have become so used to media propaganda that we believe we are entitled to know the stratagem of the Defense Department. The land of the free has been maintained by America for the past 231 yrs. but it took wars to maintain it. We had to fight for our freedom.

So I have watched the panel of Democrats giving their promises to take care of America and next I get to watch the Republicans as they try to counteract what the Democrats said that so many of us disagree with. Will they be sincere in what they propose? Probably not! Morally I can't cast my vote for either party. Shape up America!

As just a footnote.... we are still in a mess from Katrina. Everything is moving very slowly. I have publically documented my writings but have become very disappointed in the lack of response to our ongoing problems so any further writings will not be aired. Thanks to all of you who have visited my blog.
