Time to say ‘enough’
The wisdom and truth of separation of church and state is being seen each day now. The smart thing for this nation to do is stay out of ANY conflict that is driven by two different non-fact, faith-based religions. They are causing huge numbers of deaths and harm to the innocent by stranding fathers, mothers and children in their countries, which is just about the least humane thing for this or any other nation to do.
Using our high tech weapons to do most of the harm during these foolish conflicts is greatly costing our citizens by losses of our young peoples lives and health, and wasting taxpayer funds that could be used to improve the standards of living for all our citizens, and help and educate others.
The cheerleading media use fear and one-sided views to pump up their profits which is a crime in itself. The greatest side effect to our nation that this brings is to divide our own citizens against one another. One of the biggest jokes of all is when the war drums beat to get involved when two factions of the same non-fact based religion are fighting/murdering each other.
These conflicts have come and gone for centuries, and it’s time the world says enough is enough. We’re advanced enough now we can improve the world instead of just looking to advance the causes of the superstitious and the greedy.
The same needs to be said about the money being made producing and selling guns to slaughter our own innocent citizens in this nation.

A welcome ceremony
On Saturday morning I attended the Wreaths Across America ceremony at Hartley Cemetery. It was a heart warming ceremony. Thank you to all of you and your organizations that made this event possible. I want to give a very special thank you to the young lady who sang our National Anthem. Not only did she have a beautiful voice, but she sang it as the tune was written. It has been a long time since I have heard our National Anthem sung properly, not massacred by some so called talented vocalist. She also sang Amazing Grace with feeling. Thanks go out to the youth attending, placing of the wreaths with precision and understanding. To the Patriot Riders for riding in with flags and holding them during the ceremony. To the Honors Team for their precision with the 21 gun salute and the bugler made this a very special morning of remembrance. And yes, as the lady announcer said, the weather cooperated.

Had it
President Obama bemoans Fox News and right wing talk radio, so we must be doing something right!
President Obama has spent the last seven years directing the various departments in the government to concentrate on making illegal aliens citizens and Democratic voters, and making global warming real instead of protecting the American public against ISIS! You on the left mocked Ronald Reagan with tales of Alzheimer’s and a cowboy with his hands on the nuclear button. Well I will mock this President as being brain dead and in total denial of the truth. Anyone who tells you that global warming is worse than ISIS is more than two taco’s short of a combo plate! You have a President, a Secretary of State, and an Attorney General that are completely devoid of reality. Just look at what happened in Southern California., ISIS is a JV Team, my butt! And now the Attorney General states she will prosecute people like me for speaking out against Muslims. This Administration wants to strip me of my First Amendment rights? WELL, BRING IT ON!
This Administration wants to run this Country like a totalitarian state by denying us (U.S.) citizens of our rights, i.e.: ObamaCare and the Second Amendment. I have yet to receive a threat from Jewish, Hindu or Buddhist sects. You libs brought all of this on yourself with your micro aggression to Sanctuary Cities and all of the rest of the crap in between (i.e.: ObamaCare — my wife needs insurance for prostate care or I need to pay for maternity care, if we were single and I will save $2,500) that pours out of your mouths supported by the lame stream media and I have had it! And I hope you will see in the next election, the rest of us have had it too.
Hillary (liar, untrustworthy) Clinton as President of the U.S.A.? They have identified over 1,000 classified emails on Hillary’s server. “I never received classified info” said Hillary Clinton, plus there was an email stating there was a quick response team ready to go in the first hours of the Benghazi attack and nobody responded, and nobody knows where the President was, could this be the stand down order that people on the ground in Benghazi talk about? Along with the rest of her lies (i.e.: we were shot at in Afghanistan). And on and on. (It was because of a video. And what difference does it make). You have to be joking. And will Bill be in charge of training new interns? And what about Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley, Elizabeth Ward, Monica Lewinsky, and Paula Jones, White Water, and the Rose Law Firm and impeachment, let alone the Clinton Foundation accepting millions of dollars from Middle Eastern Countries that outright deny women their rights? I would not want to be the Clintons if they lose the election.
What other past President or First Lady has a litany like this?
And if Jim (clown car) Hall wants the Republican Districts painted yellow, I want the Democrat Districts painted pink. Just like the inmates in Arizona jails.
You on the left have had the lame stream media prop you up for the last 50 years, now you have Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and 120 other of us on the right to rebuke your lies and you are screaming like stuck hogs and I am loving it. What goes around comes around.
Bottom line, this Administration thoroughly vetted the wife in the San Bernardino shooting! Even though she gave a false address. Yeah, right! I’m President Obama, trust me!
