Colorado Voices: My wish for a soldier
By Eva Syrovy
Posted: 12/22/2010 01:00:00 AM MST
When the kids in the Boise State track suits got up to catch their flight, the rest of us talked about football, and the polite young man across the aisle, in his blue jeans, running shoes and Oregon Ducks sweat shirt, put in his opinion.
He was earnest, polite, carefully well-spoken. After a bit, the talk turned to destinations and origins. He was from Yakima, he said; but the rest of us ceased whining about long layovers and missed flights when he mentioned it had taken him nine days to make the trip from Afghanistan. As he spoke, he reached his hand to feel the stubble on his chin, and bent his head to rub the short pelt of his haircut.

The Taliban: The TRUTH About The War In Afghanistan
#GWOT #afghanistan #taliban
The reason why we are at war. So many of us forget. Those who go to fight do not forget but they are few. This video is disturbing, but a must see for people not afraid of the truth.

Udall to Vote No, He Wants More Socialist Style Class Warfare
#Udall #tcot #teaparty #redco
As you might expect Udall isn't voting no because of the rediculous spending in this bill. He is voting no because he thinks those that succeed in life need to be punished for it...like a good follower of Marxist ideology should. Sorry to be so blunt but the time has come to stop pussyfooting around and playing nice with socialists and calling a spade a spade.
I am so sick of the MSM calling this a tax cut, it is no such thing. It is status quo, leaving taxes as they already are (too high in my opinion) for two more whole years...whooop freakin eee. The bill also spends billions of dollars we don't have and will not have for decades. It is immoral, it is why these idiots were creamed in the last election.
We do not even know what is in this bill completely yet so I do not have a final opinion on the matter but the more time the socialists have to cram it full of social spending, pocket lining and payoffs to unions the more I think the opposition party needs to kill it. It is not the Republicans fault if taxes go up...the Dems had two years to fix it and of course they wait until it is a crisis...that is how they do business.
It is time to make life miserable for socialists once again in this nation and many of us are prepared to do anything to make that happen....stopping short of violence. Socialism is a failed system, it has never worked for more than a few months or years and only fills the pockets of politicians and their cronies. It kills innovation and destroys motivation. It is not moral, it is immoral compared to pure capitalism (not talking about crony capitalism) which when working lifts ALL BOATS and provides the most opportunity for poor and rich.
This bill also adds 35% tax on anyone's estate, albeit 5m or more (most of this has already been taxed heavily) who happens to stop breathing. It is immoral, and un-American punishment of the family of anyone who happens to have succeeded in life even a little bit. Many families will have to sell everything just to pay the taxes on something their parents wanted to leave to them.
Udall says tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans don't create jobs. He says the cuts have been in place for about a decade, yet foreclosures and unemployment are high and average incomes are dropping. Sen Udall Votes No on Extending Tax Cuts There we go again...they are not tax cuts.
Udall has selective memory, otherwise known as being a LIAR. Forclosures, unemployment and income averages are dropping the last three years...since first Bush now Obama started on a socialist spending spree and forced banks to loan to people who could not pay it back. During W's tenure unemployment was at a RECORD LOW and it was HE who warned of the coming problem with the housing market while Democrats poo pood it as racist remarks.
I am becoming more and more convinced that Democrats like Udall will not be happy until we become Venezuela.

Who Are America's Millionaires We Seek To Demonize?
#deathtax #tcot #teaparty
Must read of the day over at TownHall. by Star Parker
Excerpt;
Most Americans – 80% - are not self-employed. But of those that are, two thirds are our millionaires.
Seventy five percent of these self-employed millionaires are entrepreneurs and the remaining quarter are self-employed professionals like doctors and accounts.
These are overwhelmingly self-made individuals, by a large founders and proprietors of prosaic businesses like “welding contractors, auctioneers, rice farmers, owners of mobile-home parks, pest controllers, coin and stamp dealers and paving contractors.”
Sure, we have high profile billionaires in America. But most of America’s millionaires, those whose income is in the $250,000 and above category whose taxes Anthony Weiner wants to raise, are our nation’s bread and butter entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Regarding the estate tax, or what has come to be known as the death tax, it is probably, of all the ways in which our government takes revenue, the most immoral.

Commies alive and well
#commie #che #tcot #teaparty
If you think the soul of communism died when the walls fell, think again. Just try and write something on your blog that is critial of Che' Guevera or Fidel Castro and see what comes out of the woodwork to berate and threaten both you and the United States. Evil still exists, it just moves around when we expose it.

Licensed Psychotherapist Examines the Minds of Extreme Progressives
#tcot #redco #liberal #peoplespress
Great article at American Thinker.
But apparently, numerous trolls have been drawn to me, like venomous bees to honey. These trolls use the same weaponry of other extreme progressives: shame and degradation. They try to use ridicule as sort of stun gun, immobilizing the other. (Another interesting tidbit: People with character disorders do the very same thing. Coincidence?)
As a psychotherapist, I can see right through them to who they are and how they operate. Nonetheless, I still remain curious about these creepy crawlers, whom I have dubbed "My Friends, the Enemy." (This is my generally futile attempt to be magnanimous like the Dalai Lama, who uses the phrase to describe the Chinese.)
