Happy New year folks................

2008 was a difficult year for our Country, millions of Americans face serious financial troubles, a lot of people lost their homes, our country faces the worst recession in years, our gallant men and women of the United States armed forces were fighting wars on two fronts.
But we as a country still have much to be thankful for, we have been in more difficult times then this, and with God's grace this one will pass too.
I found this song by Brooks and Dunn really inspiring, hopefully we can all get back up when we fall, and keep fighting until we succeed.
Here is Brooks And Dunn features Reba in their hit song call Cowgirls don't cry..



Good bye 2008 and welcome 2009

Israel has a right to protect its people........

Hamas militant preparing to fire one of their rockets into Israel

Today all over the Muslim world people are marching and protesting Israel's military action against Hamas. but my question is how come they didn't say anything when radical Hamas broke the six months truce with Israel and starting firing rockets deeper than ever into Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert practically beg on Arab TV for Hamas to stop their attacks on Israel, but they would not listen.
I am sorry if any innocent people die in this latest round of fighting, but Gaza is run by a terrorist organisation who are bent on one thing and one thing only killing innocent people.



It is time to teach Hamas a lessson, they have to know that firing rockets and killing innocent people will not be tolerated.
I mean would we sit by and let rockets be fired into the the United States from Mexico? of course not, nations have the rights to to protect their citizens, and that is exactly what Israel is doing.

President Bush targeted by shoe thrower.....

President Bush today ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head — one shoe after the other — in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The shoe attack came as Bush and al-Maliki were about to shake hands. The assailant — later identified as television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi — leapt from his chair and hurled his footwear at the president, who was about 20 feet away.
My question to this whole mess is how the bloody hell could the secret service let this happen? where they in the back having donuts while the president was in harms way? i mean what the hell are we paying them for? in a high risk country such as Iraq, one would think they would be all over the place and keeping their eye on everybody.

But the President always the joker that he is made light of the moment.
"Don't worry about it," the president said as the room erupted into chaos.
"So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?" Bush said, comparing the action to political protests in the United States.

"If you want the facts, it was a size 10," he joked.

And so the party begins.........

Just a month after they took both the White House and Congress, Democrats so greedy for power are about to show their true colors.
Today in a blatant disregard for the law the democratic governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges.
Blagojevich was accused of threatening to withhold state assistance to the Tribune Company because their editors were critical of him, and trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by fellow Democrat President-elect Barack Obama.
"The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the federal prosecutor, said in a statement.

The 51-year-old Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were charged in a federal complaint with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. Both were taken into custody at their homes in Chicago.
This is exactly the reason why one political party should not have total control, because then they start to feel they are above the law. I am sure there will be a lot more of these kinds of stories in the future, so we better all get ready for the long roller coaster ride.

Georgia Sen. Chambliss wins re-election in runoff...

Democrats' hopes of winning a 60 seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate came to an end tonight with the re-election of Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
With 70 percent of the precincts reporting, Chambliss captured 60 percent to Martin's 40 percent. Chambliss' win is a rare bright spot for Republicans in a year where they lost the White House as well as seats in the House and the Senate. i could not have been happier. if the democrats had won this critical seat, it would have been like giving these Democrats a blank check to carry out their crazy left wing ideology. i keep telling people, i am still a democrat but a Clinton democrat who believe that the best way to run this country is from the center, and not the far left or far right.
There needs to be a check and balance in the senate, and Chambliss victory tonight will help ensure just that.

Turnout was light throughout the state Tuesday. A spokesman for Secretary of State Karen Handel predicted between 18 and 20 percent of the state's 5.75 million registered voters would cast ballots — far less than the 65 percent who voted in last month's general election.
