Well it's that time of year again. My least favorite holiday. For those who don't know I completed my BA in History in 2004. So it's not like I don't understand and appreciate the meaning for the holiday. I am a conservative thus I understand patriotism, loyalty and sacrifice. What I don't understand is communities, counties, states and federal governments willingness, especially in light

Things have been a little up in the air for us here at Musings. Life has taken a unexpected turn which has refocused our minds and hearts more on the things of the Spirit. If this offends anyone one who visits here, I am sorry. The fact is that I and my peeps are more interested in the things of God than the things of Mammon. We get distracted (who doesn't), we forget (who doesn't) and then

I visit the IMAO web site on occasion. Alright more than occasionally. In the course of posting my good internet pal Jimmy asked just how mean a mom I was. This is the answer: I'm so mean that when my children fought with each other (even just picked at each other) I made them sit on a bed with their arms around each other until I was satisfied they got the point. When they first start having

Wow, ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages. Have I got a surprise for you. It is shocking, inconceivable, unbelievable and contrary to the edicts of the New Messiah. What could it be you ask? Who would go against the greatest leader of our time, the only hope for our future, the atomic agent of change, the last great option for our dying world? According to IAEA Iran may not be telling

I have had it.  I have only one thing to say to Michele Obama.  Either Cowgirl up or shut up.   I know, how dare I?  Someone who believes in the Constitution.  Someone who believes in the First Amendment.  Someone who's father, grandfather, uncles, husband and now son are veterans who were willing, if asked, to die for this country.  Someone who believes in personal choice and the freedom to

Ladies and gentlemen, someone, anyone educate me on how a 7 year old can be confused about his gender. A 7 year old has no idea what a man or woman "feels" like, they don't have any deep understanding of the differences between males and females. Hormones such as they are have not yet begun to make them crazy, cranky and somewhat costly. Now I know that I am just a simple woman. I don't

A friend sent me this in an email. It is no wonder this country is in the mess that it's in. Many lawyers while a necessary evil are an evil none the less. As Mr. Shakespeare said in Henry VI, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Over and over again we have seen shyster ambulance chasers attempt to circumvent the legal system not for the good of their clients, not for the good

Well here it is ladies and gentlemen, the beginning of the end of the Republican Party. What does John McCain stand for? He's soft on illegal immigration, he's soft on abortion, he's soft on global warming as a scam and a multitude of other issues. He has partnered with some of the most liberal senators in the country to co-author legislation that drop by drop allows our freedoms to simply

Being the mother of four girls I have watched over the years as clothes, especially for girls, have become more and more slutty, slovenly, and dare I say it more Hooker-lite. I would say this is due mainly to the explosion of Wal Mart as one of the major retailers in this country, but that would be a lie. Many other more up scale stores are just as bad or even worse. Many I'm sure defend this

I have issues with Mother's Day. It's not that I don't revere mothers. It's not that I don't think a day to honor them is appropriate. It's not even the super-hype attached to the whole "gotta buy Mom the perfect gift thing". No, the problem I have with Mother's Day is that it gives people an excuse to ignore, abuse, trash, and otherwise disrespect mothers the other 363 days a year.

This my friends is why we own Mac's. Their best slogan and the one they should have kept at the forefront of their advertising campaign is "The Computer for the rest of us". Of course the fact that the hubby is a graphic artist/photojournalist had a little to do with the choice as well. Yes he's conservative, he's very conservative.

Thanks to the Radio characters at Walton and Johnson I was apprised of this interesting situation. #1 #2 According to their crack research team at least 30 detainees have been involved in either blowing things up or shooting our military.

Where are they? Where are the eco-warriors, the environmentalists, the evironmental whackos, the tree huggers and Code Pink? This my friends is the height of eco- hypocrisy. Now lest you think this a partisan rant, where is John McCain? Why, he's speaking to La Rasa (the Race). Of course the best way to fix the illegal problem is to invite everyone to come and then no one will be illegal.

Ok Mr. Gore, fix this. You're all het up over greenhouse gasses. You're the Savior of the planet. You and your army of eco-terrorists are fighting the good fight. FIX IT.

Well, I hate to say I told you so. But I did. 26% voted AGAINST him. Gee wonder why? Could it be for his Illegal Immigrant stance or his willingness to cozy up to the most liberal senators in town or for his inability to keep his temper and watch his language? To be fair he did get over 70% of the vote in both states but people were still voting for the Huckster and Paul the Putrid. Even

Gee, casinos are not recession proof . What a shocker! When people can't afford to use their cars, feed their families, or pay their mortgages they stop throwing their money away. Really? They don't continue to support the lifestyles of the rich and famous, they don't continue to put money into something that no matter how much they spend will never recoup what they lose. It's amazing,

Well, here's an interesting conundrum. This however is the most interesting claim, at least to me: "The media's focus on the war then began a steady decline. In February, only 3 percent of print, television and online coverage was dedicated to Iraq, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, or PEJ, a Washington-based organization. That's down from 22 percent a year before." I

If John McCain loses the Presidency this will be why. The Race is a racist organization that promotes the welfare of hispanics over that of everyone else in this country. They are interested in only what benefits their members and castigate any who have the temerity to point that out, as hate mongers. They are no different than the KKK, the Black Panthers, or White Separatists. This is

I am a music lover. My taste is eclectic. I like most music (point of order, I'm sorry I don't think rap is music. It may be entertainment but it is not music). One day just for fun I sat down and figured out, approximately how many music/ school programs I'd been to in the last 23 years. It came out to be somewhere in the 150 range. Yes, I personally have sat through more than 150
