This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking "where did the money come from for Obama". I have four daughters who went... [ More ]

In many cases those 'idiots' are agent provocateurs. Their job is to give the police an excuse to move in on the crowds. They will be quietly whisked away without punishment. Like at the SPP protests in Montebello Quebec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLTLSq03jmk

For comparison's sake in another country called Russia, last week, an activist which ran an anti-govt. web site was picked up by the police, shot in the head and dumped on the side of the road. Hmmmm....wow.....just imagine the reaction of the Ruskie authorities to a protest like the one in Minnesota. They might be using something more than pepper spray and batons, and then the anarchists may have accidental permanent disappearances. There are elements on the left here that wa... [ More ]

False flag violence is THE most effective method of swaying public opinion. Always ask yourself who benefits (cui bono) before jumping to conclusions as to who is behind it. <br

Great comments ... congrats on your grandbaby, also your other children. Not easy raising kids with as much garbage as they're pelted with today from our exemplary 'superstars.

Original Blog Entry: Rioters at the convention

Ok, my first blog.

I have a grown daughter who is 26, married and made me a grandpa. I have an 18 year old daughter who I just left at college a couple weeks ago. And I have a son who is 15, who at this precarious age is finding out about himself. Three kids who are each unique, and different, and all whom I love more than life itself. I am watching and listening to the convention on TV, and I have to wonder just what this country is coming to for my kids. There are idiots who in the name of protest are breaking windows, throwing human waste, and attacking cops and people. Do they honestly think these activities change things for the better?

I am far from a perfect parent. But I never ever raised my kids to disrespect authority. This is the greatest country in the world. We have freedoms others can only dream of. Freedom is not destroying property in protest. Freedom is better than that. I work with a 30 something guy who keeps telling me that this country is no good and he just has to find a way to get out. The next time he tells me that, my response will be that I will donate the money to buy him a one way ticket to anywhere in the world. And that I'm not kidding, and he is welcome to never come back.
