Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter. But....when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily.

Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above, or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Personally, I like happy endings.

If you are an Obama Supporter, don’t be pissed off at me because I think your president is a socialist, but there are too many facts supporting this. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.

Never before in the history of America, have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too, but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it, but he doesn't. Please, find the truth, it will set you free.

Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, Iran; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC.

A Time for Choosing

Bye, bye Commie!



How could this happen?


Heroic Navy SEALs Matthew McCabe, Jonathon Keefe, and Julio Huertas could face a full year in prison for catching Ahmed Hashim Abed, the terrorist behind the gruesome Fallujah massacre of four Americans delivering food, because Abed acquired or managed to give himself a fat lip of the kind kids get playing touch football.

Just as liberalism is trickling down from Washington to cripple our economy, and oozing out of Hollywood to rot our culture, it has infected the military's top brass and is making it impossible to fight a war effectively.

What has happened to America?


RICHMOND, Va. -- A flood of help is building for an embattled Medal of Honor recipient in Henrico County who was ordered this week to remove a flagpole from his yard by his community's homeowners association.

From the halls of Congress to the 90-year-old colonel's old infantry unit, a local law firm and scores of service members, help is making its way to Col. Van T. Barfoot.

"He said he was outraged and wanted to help," Barfoot's daughter said yesterday, speaking of U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va., who learned of Barfoot's plight on TimesDispatch.com yesterday.

In a five-paragraph letter that he received Tuesday, Barfoot was ordered to remove the flagpole from his yard in the Sussex Square community in far western Henrico County. The decorated veteran of three wars raises the American flag every morning on the pole, then lowers and folds the flag at dusk in a three-corner military fashion.

The Coates & Davenport law firm in Richmond sent a priority-mail letter ordering Barfoot to remove the pole by 5 p.m. Friday or face "legal action being brought to enforce the covenants and restrictions against you." The letter states that Barfoot will be subject to paying all legal fees and costs in any successful legal proceeding pursued by the homeowners association's board.

A Richmond law firm, Marchant, Honey & Baldwin, offered yesterday to represent Barfoot at no cost, partner John Honey said.

In a statement released last night, the association said Barfoot is in direct violation of its board's July decision to deny his request to erect a flagpole.

"This is not about the American flag. This is about a flagpole," the statement reads, noting that many homes in the neighborhood display the American flag.

Margaret Nicholls, Barfoot's daughter, said last night that the statement is using semantics to back up a board decision about the pole that was made on aesthetic, not regulatory grounds. There is no covenant that expressly forbids flag poles, she said.

Warner has known Barfoot for years and has a high regard for him, Warner spokesman Kevin Hall said. "The senator definitely wants to step in to get something resolved."

Nicholls said her father's phone "is ringing off the hook." Members of the 157th Infantry Unit, with which he served, have called along with scores of people concerned about Barfoot's welfare, she said.

Barfoot can't understand why the board allows a flag to hang from an angled pole mounted to the side of a house but disallows a flag flown from a free-standing vertical pole.

"Where I've been, fighting wars, displaying the flag, military installations, parades, everything else, the flag is vertical. And I've done it that way since I was in the Army," Barfoot said.

"Dad sort of feels like this is the end," said Nicholls, who lives a few doors away. But she said yesterday that she and her husband are attempting to generate support for her father's cause, a flag-raising rite that he has undertaken for most of his life.

Barfoot received the Medal of Honor for heroic action on the battlefield during World War II in Italy and fought as well in the Korean and Vietnam wars. A portion of a highway in rural Mississippi, his native state, was named in his honor this fall. A building at McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Richmond, also carries his name.

Barfoot regularly began flying the flag on Veterans Day this year, after he returned from an extended trip that began in September, despite the Sussex Square board's decision.

He said last month that not flying the flag would be a sacrilege to him.

"There's never been a day in my life or a place I've lived in my life that you couldn't fly the American flag," he said.

Barfoot's neighbors are split, with some saying that the community covenants should have no exceptions, and that Barfoot was given the community's covenants before he bought the property. Others support him regardless.

Sally Hedleston, whose house has a legal flagpole attached, said she has asked board members to make an exception for the Medal of Honor recipient.

"Some board members say that rules are rules -- well, how many of them have broken the speed limit every day here?" she asked.

"I'll show you mine, if you show me yours!"


Re-post from aroundandin60655

Elves Wanted!!

This info came to us from one of our readers, Shay. Let's all do what we can to make these kids' Christmas a little brighter!

LETTERS TO SANTA PROGRAM 2009!

Please consider having your business, school or organization join us for our 8th year running! It's a program that once started, is surely to become a tradition for many years to come!


How does the program work?

We collect Letters to Santa written by the neediest children in our schools. The schools in our program are at 95% poverty or higher. We encourage children to ask for items they need and often times they will request winter coats or school supplies.

We then distribute their letters to donors throughout the country and ask that a gift in the $25 range be purchased, wrapped and delivered to the child's school. We are also asking that you send us an additional $5 per letter to help defray our program costs, for a total limit of $30 per letter. Because we are a "hands on" charity, we do not actively fund raise. Due of this, we are a low to no budget charity and this is our only fundraiser of the year.

Please send your $5 per letter donations to;

Direct Effect Charities
4064 N. Lincoln Avenue #400
Chicago, IL 60618

Please know this donation is optional and we are happy to send you a letter(s) even if are unable to send us $5. We are of course grateful for any support at all but our main goal is to make kids smile, and that's what we do!


What age range are the children?

We serve students from Pre-K to 4th grade in most schools. In smaller schools, we accept letters from children through the 8th grade.


Can I request a girl or boy?

You can request a boy or girl as well as age range. We encourage you to request letters from children the same age as yours! It's a wonderful project that will teach them the wonders of giving.


Can I spend more than $25 on my gift?

We ask that you try and stick to that limit. It is not fair to students when one child receives 5 presents while others may receive one. If you wish to spend more, we ask that you send an extra wrapped gift and mark it girl or boy with an age range. There is often a small percentage of gifts that do not make their way to the child for various reasons and it helps the schools to have extras on hand.


Are my donations tax deductible?

Yes, Direct Effect will be happy to send you a tax exempt receipt for your donation.


When does the program begin?

We are well under way! PLEASE ORDER YOUR LETTERS TODAY and we'll get them out as soon as they are in our hands! There is NO LIMIT to the number of letters you can order. Whether you want 1 or 1,000, we will be happy to provide you with them!

TO OBTAIN A LETTER/LETTERS - EMAIL: directeffect@ameritech.net

Please feel free to call 312.296.5311 with any questions you may have!http://directeffectcharities.org

Monetary donations can also be made via credit card on our web site.

Let’s try and help out, but if any of you get a letter from little Tommy, save the $25 and just send a bar of Zest so I can wash that kid's mouth out!!! Now, LET'S GET TO GIVIN!!!

SATURDAY DECEMBER 5th
RALLY IN FOLEY SQUARE - STOP THE TERROR TRIAL IN NYC!

NEW YORKERS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER: “WE WILL FIGHT YOU ALL THE WAY!”

The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition http://www.911neverforget.us, a diverse group of 9/11 victims, family members, first responders, active and reserve members of the military, veterans, and concerned Americans, will hold a December 5th rally protesting the plan to bring the 9/11 terrorist conspirators to trial in New York City.

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York City's federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers. Two weeks ago, we sent a letter signed by 300 family members of 9/11 victims to the President, Attorney General and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course.

The letter has now been signed by over 120,000 Americans and is posted at http://www.keepamericasafe.com. Please visit the site and add your signature.

What: Stop The Terror Trials in NYC Rally
Where: Foley Square, Manhattan
When: Saturday, December 5th
Time: 12 noon

Do's and Don'ts:
Bring signs but NOT on sticks. USE cardboard tubes. No large bags or backpacks. We ask that you respect the serious nature and decorum of the event in the signs you bring to the rally.

Angels Too Soon

Today, people will gather in Chicago to pray and remember the victims of a tragic fire that struck the city 51 years ago today. Ninety-two children and three nuns died in a fire that broke out in a stairwell during that last hour of classes at Our Lady of the Angels school on December 1, 1958.

The impact of this fire was felt across the country and the world. It had a great influence on the building codes and safety features and procedures that we now take for granted in schools and other public assembly buildings.

Some of the many factors that contributed to this large loss of life included a delayed alarm due to nuns who didn't have authority to pull the fire alarm after discovering the fire, open stairwells and a lack of exit capacity.

The fire started in the 1910 built north wing of the school. It had been "grandfathered" due to being constructed before 1949 code changes that addressed stairwell and exit issues. For some reason, a 1953 school annex also had open stairwells.

Support Our Troops this Christmas

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to these young men and women. If we spread the word and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get. When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please send one to:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

ALSO..........
If you go to this web site,
www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq.

You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!

It's FREE, and it only takes a few seconds.

Always..........."The Lady"

NEW.....Neighborhood Gift Shop

There is a new gift shop that opened up at 3524 W. 111th Street (111th & Drake). It’s a nice little store with a neighborhood look, feel and ties. The owners have a few unique ideas for this holiday season that you may be interested in hearing about.

Mount Greenwood Gifts presents "Kidshop" Give your child the opportunity to learn the joy of picking out, paying for, wrapping and giving Mom, Grandma or Aunt the gift that they have chosen for them with their own little hands. Here’s how it works:
Ø Call MGG at (773) 233-4902 to make an appointment for your child or grandchild to shop. The appointment should only take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Ø Decide how much your child will be spending.
Ø Bring your child for their shopping trip.
Ø Your child will be asked to write down the answers to 5 questions they will be asked about the person they are buying for. You will get to keep this answer sheet…..it’s ALWAYS hilarious! (My husband was 8’-10” when our son was in kindergarten!)
Ø After your child has finished choosing a gift, they’ll pay for it, get their receipt and change, and then assist in boxing and wrapping it. Then they’ll do the finishing touches with bows and a personalized tag that they will sign.

Unless your child prefers to have someone familiar at arms reach, you will be asked to wait outside the store while your child shops. Some children like the independence of shopping by themselves, while others prefer a familiar face around. If your child would rather have you wait outside because he/she is a BIG boy or girl, you will be notified the moment they have completed their shopping and are ready to go!

All that’s left to do after this is stop somewhere else or a nice cup of hot chocolate!!!
**********We’d be happy to take pictures or video if you provide the camera**********


HELP A LOCAL FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS

Mt. Greenwood Gifts is looking to our neighbors, friends, families and local businesses to assist us in giving some LOCAL families a spoiled rotten Christmas - Complete with Christmas dinner and plenty of gifts for each child. We can do it for our own kids, so why not do it for others? Or you can simply donate if you’d prefer by stopping by the shop or mailing a check to the store. Everyone knows times are tough, but anything you can afford will help make this a great Christmas for a few neighborhood families. We will be posting a thank you (not including the amount) to each person who donates and we will keep everyone up to date on our progress.

If you know of a family that needs a little extra help this year, please contact us with their names and we’ll put their names in a pot to be drawn after we have received all the donations. How many families we’ll be able to help this Christmas will be determined on how many people donate. I hope we can help them all.

Please join us in the true spirit of Christmas, and help bring a little joy to a family in need.


MOUNT GREENWOOD GIFTS, together with SWEET ESCAPES on 104th and Kedzie to present a fun filled day with crafts, story time, shopping, Santa, his elves and a lot of delicious food. The kids will get to take pictures with Santa and be assisted in completing a craft and get to eat a delicious lunch. The Moms will get to SHOP, SHOP, SHOP!

This event is by invitation. (Walk-ins are welcome though!) Please confirm that you are attending by calling Sweet Escapes Eats & Treats at (773) 298-8940.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

U.S. Navy SEAL's are the latest targets of the Politically Correct Liberals

If anything can destroy the United States military, it's not Chinese tanks or Muslim IEDs, but political correctness, employed by sanctimonious fifth-column liberals to corrode its morale. Imagine laying your life on the line for a country presided over by liberals who bend over backwards to side with its enemies. The latest outrage:

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

In case anyone has forgotten about the put-upon Abed's handiwork, he's responsible for the four Blackwater agents that were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned their bodies and dragged them through the city. The above picture shows two of the bodies the hung on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.

These were the four Americans whose savage death prompted Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos to sneer, "Screw them." We've allowed people like Moulitsas to take control of the country. Our troops in the field are paying the price.

I say, pull all of our troops out of the middle east NOW, nuke Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, and wait and see who the next jaggoff 3rd world country is to fuck with America before we decide who gets erased next!
