Mother Nature At Her Best

Oh Nirek, isn’t that just something to have them feel safe to come and visit the eatery in the day light.

Mansion would just love to see that! But, I am afraid that the fox would not love to see him. Mansion has a big mouth…..don’t you darn say like his master! 😉

How sweet is that!

Mother Nature and the spirit within me are mine, Nirek. You are lucky, Nirek, to get to see so much of Her work and able to enjoy. You keep doing just that and I will be with you in spirit!

Hope to see you tomorrow in the funnies. There are some good ones and some that will make you shake your head of their stupidity.

That is wonderful, Nirek! All those beautiful creature out there just dropping in for a bite. And, a variety of such.

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing!

Religion & The U.S. Constitution: The Official Record

Did you see the special from the Smithsonian on restoring it? I think you can watch it on the following link. It is very, very interesting. Can you imagine being the one to touch it and take it apart and put it back together? Amazing to literally touch history, Murph!

Ever seen the Jefferson Bible, Murph?

Zeke, thank you for your post. I found it very informative. Our founding fathers didn’t do it all in one night, one week, one month, or one year. And, they intended it to live with history and make its own going forward.

Thank you again for sharing.

Is The United States Of America A Christian Nation?

For you, Buddy, I will. And, you too, Zeke! July 4th watch for it! Nothing special, just a declaration in connection to the holiday and everything else going on.

My buddy is sooooooooo smart! Thank you for posting. I had something to post for the 4th but now you and Zeke make me think maybe I better stick with the Funnies. You both are so informative.

You know I love ya!

We still have ESPN, AdLib! 😉

I have only looked at one day of cartoons and, AdLib, I am going to need hazard pay by the end of the week! I’ll get them done but I will be drinking……………

Those AHoles, Beatlex, don’t know the difference between an IUD and a DUI.
Idiots!

What Can Be Done to Stop Children From Crossing Our Borders?

Well, Murph, I have always said you are a smart man and never more than when you are agreeing with me! 😉

» Posted By SallyT On July 7, 2014 @ 7:06 pm

Wow Murph, down boy! This response is to yours to me down below. I am not missing your point. I am making another one. The reason illegal immigrants are used here is because of industrial farming/corporate can hire them for less. That is just one example. And, because of all that money in lobbying, the republicans are not really against illegal immigrants, as long as they can be used.
I am also concerned about placing these children because there are some pretty sick people in this country that enslave and hold captive. Much background checking needed. Also, as I said earlier, why would you send your child here with all the school shootings and shooting as a whole. Now, I know we aren’t as bad as where they are coming from but still. Maybe we should erect big screen TV’s and with subtitles show them the news here. They might change their minds a little.
And, I have to agree with Kes that we need to pull this out at the roots. American greed is at the source, whether its drugs, sex or rock n’roll wages! Pull it out….wait, that could be taken another way……you get my point, I hope. Murph, your point was made. I just had something to add and someone to agree with.

That is a good one, Nirek! Thanks for sharing!

» Posted By SallyT On July 7, 2014 @ 3:26 pm

Then I hope I am always there for you, Kes! 🙂

They’ll just send in their thugs, Kes. It is the control but they aren’t going to be the ones to get their hands dirty. Besides, Bush won’t leave his air conditioned bathroom! His water colors might melt.

» Posted By SallyT On July 5, 2014 @ 2:12 pm

@Kes, now that I can agree with! But, I seem to do that a lot where you are concern.

I was watching this discussion on some show and they ask this former serviceman that is involved in the VA investigations why most service people vote Republican when they are who got them into the war. His answer was that most aren’t Republican anymore but are Libertarian now. Geesh! That is suppose to make me feel better!

» Posted By SallyT On July 4, 2014 @ 11:03 pm

Well, if they did have TV or internet, Sue, they would know that the United States might not be the place to send your children. With all the school shootings and just people shootings that we are experiencing (and our police or no better at picking the good guys from the bad either) we are not all that safe. And, with the inequity spreading further and further, and our Congress wanting to cut more of those so called “free lunches” and “handouts” but nothing that affects them, we are heading for more trouble right here in River City!

I forgot about that, Sherlock. Thank you for reminding me. Of course, Bush and his family and rich friends are buying up the land down there to get the water and the water rights. They know that is going to be a hot commodity in the very near future. The problems down there, well, I am sure we have had a hand in the making through the CIA or Corp or whatever. We reap what we sow. We reaped trouble and now we have it.

» Posted By SallyT On July 4, 2014 @ 8:56 pm

Kes, you pretty much cover it. Murph, I don’t see jobs as the problem with these children. They are not coming for jobs and are too young to work. If that were the case, they have a better chance for work where they are because our corporations loved to hire them for pennies an hour down there. And, they don’t care how young they are. Heck they are trying to change hiring the young here in hopes of cutting wages even further.

The Court Ruling that Could Kill ACA

Kes, it’s a seductive vision—enjoying the same quality of life that today’s heavily-governed rich nations enjoy, with lower taxes and less regulation. The vision is so seductive, in fact, that we are forced to return to the question with which we began: if libertarianism is not only appealing but plausible, why hasn’t any country anywhere in the world ever tried it?

» Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 8:38 pm

There you go! Never heard that one, Diane. One I will have to remember.

» Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 3:50 pm

Or, Kes, consider the darling of many an ’80s conservative: Pinochet’s Chile. (Installed by Nixon) In twenty years, foreign debt quadrupled, natural resources were wasted, universal health care was abandoned (leading to epidemics of typhoid fever and hepatitis), unions were outlawed, military spending rose (for what? who the hell is going to attack Chile?), social security was “privatized” (with predictable results: ever-increasing government bailouts) and the poverty rate doubled, from 20% to 41%. Chile’s growth rate from 1974 to 1982 was 1.5%; the Latin American average was 4.3%.
Pinochet was a dictator, the libertarians will claim and makes some feel that they have nothing to learn here. Somehow Chile’s experience privatizing social security can tell us nothing about privatizing social security here, because Pinochet was a dictator. Presumably if you set up a business in Chile, the laws of supply and demand and perhaps those of gravity wouldn’t apply, because Pinochet was a dictator.

Sounds like good advise there, KT!

Oh, Diane, you do try. But, I can’t go with you there. Everybody wants the Founders on their side; but it was a different country back then– 95% agricultural, low density, highly homogeneous, primitive in technology– and modern libertarian-ism simply doesn’t apply.
All American political movements have their roots in the 1700s. Loyalist opinion essentially disappeared. There were and still are liberals, conservatives, libertarians against the Georgian monarchy and for the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You can certainly find places where one Founder or another rants against government; you can find other places where one Founder or another rants against rebellion, anarchy, and the opponents of federalism. Sometimes the same Founder can be quoted on both sides. They were a mixed bunch, and lived long enough lives to encounter different situations.
The process of giving life to our constitutional rights has largely been the work of liberals. On the greatest fight of all, to treat blacks as human beings, libertarians supported the other side.
An untested political system unfortunately has great rhetorical appeal. Since we can’t see it in action, we can’t point out its obvious faults, while the ideologue can be caustic about everything that has actually been tried, and which has inevitably fallen short of perfection. But I’d rather vote for a politician who’s shown that his or her programs work in the real world than for a party candidate that can’t.

Boy, can you imagine the up roar if President Obama’s father had worked for the Communists (and started his wealth there) instead of coming from Kenya? OH, can I see the misspelled signs on that!
