The Shortest Book Review Ever...........

I've just been poking around some new blogs and I realized that many conservative bloggers list To Kill a Mockingbird as their Favorite Book on their Viewer Profile. If you haven't read this book, you won't be sorry. (Or see the film, the film is THAT good.)
What's your favorite thing about this story, or the film...?
There's almost nothing about the film I don't find absolutely perfect. To say nothing about the story, of course.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I've been wondering why I'm not more down lately. Things have been about as bad as I've known them in America (except for 9/11, of course). I've felt sad, I've even felt defeated from time to time: closing Gitmo, STD prevention as a stimulus and we're supposed to believe that?, the Oscars and the spanking the Lefties enjoyed giving good Americans just because they don't agree with them, forcing union members to vote in the open, the Stimulus package's passing, allowing embryonic stem cell research to get federal funding when so many Americans disagree with it and adult stem cells are far more promising, the ignoring of ALL the excellent science saying humans are not causing global climate change, the way Obama insults conservatives by name and seems to think everyone who doesn't believe what he does is beneath contempt, etc etc etc. This all wears you down, doesn't it? And I'm usually an upbeat person.

I've commiserated with fellow bloggers about how they just don't feel like making the visits to other blogs anymore and reading MORE bad news and MORE things they totally agree with but feel they can't do a thing about. And, I've seen a couple of very good bloggers leave lately. One, someone I think the world of for intelligence and incredible wit, has closed his blog down. Overnight ...."I'm done". I know this had nothing to do with politics, but it had the same effect on me. I suddenly felt lonely, even amidst all of the great bloggers who are still in business. I happen to like and get some comfort from my blogger buddies typing as I type, thinking what I'm thinking, feeling what I'm feeling. I like that, it keeps me going. I'll miss that blogger with the white-hot intensity of a thousand summers, his humor "killed me" as I often told him.

Ya, I like intelligent people blogging and he was sure one of them. LOTS of you great people are out there and I appreciate all of you.

The reason I write this pretty depressing post tonight is that I watched Hannity with Mr. Z and I was taking dishes into the kitchen after dinner when Greta Van Susteren came on and she said something about how much the Stimulus package is costing and mentioned the Omnibus bill. I said "Mr. Z, if that passes, I'm jumping out the upstairs window." As I finished saying it, Greta said "There's BREAKING NEWS! The Omnibus Bill has passed the Senate and it only needs Obama's signature now."

oh, good.

terrific. Kind of picks you RIGHT up, doesn't it!? heh

I haven't seen the details, but Evan Bayh and Russ Feingold were voting against it. (Yes, I said AGAINST) So, it's Republicans who kept this bill out of debate. Bayh had said last night that a few Republicans were voting FOR it because of the pork. They don't like YOUR pork, but they like THEIR pork, I guess. Ya, if the Republicans had all voted against it, it would have gone into debate and maybe the American public would WAKE UP in the discussion? It won't now. It's a done deal. As if Obama won't gleefully sign?!! This man gives new meaning to "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Are you ready for this? The AP is saying "Obama is also set to announce steps aimed at curbing lawmakers' so-called earmarks."

Wait. His Stimulus Package is passed. His Omnibus is passed. The Stimulus has, what, 8500 earmarks?, all of which he denied in his speech to Congress 3 weeks or so ago? "I'm so proud there aren't any earmarks in this bill~!!" (Ya, and Clinton didn't have sex with THAT WOMAN, either). The Omnibus is loaded, and they both passed. NOW he wants to "curb LAWMAKER's 'SO CALLED' earmarks?" um...... "SO CALLED?" And "NOW?" Is he planning yet ANOTHER huge ridiculous bill which he'll ban pork from? You can't make this stuff up!

We're closing Gitmo (habeus corpus for those guys makes me sick to my stomach), we're loosening restrictions against Cuba, we're telling kids that success isn't good, we're graduating dummies, we're all going to pay for your neighbor's abortion (and mortgage, and health care, and their kid's college educations, too, come to think of it), we Conservatives are suddenly the enemy of a president who barely conceals his distaste for anyone keeping him from the dreams of Saul Alinsky. Here is one:
"The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people. (Alinsky 1946: 23) Check this link out and make sure you read 'tactics'. Do those words in bold feel familiar to you, too?

So...not to sound too down here, but sometimes I think the only thing that's keeping me so calm is my faith. I'll let you conjecture about that if you want, I have no need to eludicate nor do I have the desire to have what I'd say dissected, so.......that's it. My faith. Praise God for it. Some of you know that "..peace which surpasses all understanding.." and I just have to say "AMEN".

And I will say the pen seems to be far, far mightier than the sword these days. Obama's got the pen and the sword, and he's using both as fast as he can. Left handed, did you notice? And sealing our fates. OH, and Hillary's over there selling us to China, which is giving us problems with some ship somewhere, did you hear? N. Korea's saying they're testing a missile....Russia turned down Obama's "hey, let's be friends! You put in the good word in Iran and we'll play nice regarding those missile shields you resent, okay? " "Nyet" was Russia's answer. Then, Obama said "Hey, let's get our soldiers to talk to the NICE Taliban and then maybe that Taliban, the really nice ones, will put in the good word for US, okay?" The Taliban said "You're kidding, RIGHT?" (in Arabic, of course) But, Obama's signing us into debt for years to come and thinking he's got the world by the tail!

Cheer up, everybody. We'll be fine, but some days are tougher than others, right?

And make sure you watch Glenn Beck on Friday, March 13....5 pm EST. That should give us some hope. Remember, the pen might be mightier than the sword sometimes, but our swords need to get sharp; our 'swords' are those tea parties, writing our politicians, demanding that our leaders pay attention to both sides of every issue, writing to the media venues and demanding honesty. And our blogs are our pens. Don't give up! We have a heck of a fight on our hands..............sharpen your pens.............
