Temperance

I wrote a poem entitled that. Different topic, but same story. In the last week, I have heard more drunken mishaps from my fellow conservative colleagues in the university than anywhere else. Alcohol is rampant and I don't approve. I will not condone in any way the illicit and explicit use of alcohol. If I know that you overindulge in this fire-water, I will lose respect for you. Simple as that. I don't condone "meetings" held in bars or the "kegger" for winning an election. I am sorry, no I'm not, but this is outrageous and indecent and immoral. I beg of you, if you agree with me, please write a comment for this. We need to show a solid front against these backwoods drunkards. I feel like we did this a hundred years ago...

Drawing Room Redecoration

I will be redecorating this Friday. If you want a say in the process, let me know by commenting on this post. I will take all suggestions into consideration before I begin the process. Of course, thank you for comnig, this is your drawing room as well. Enjoy your afternoon.

Semper Monete.

It is September 11th, and we always say it, but I think we should try it in a different language, one that has stood the test of time: Latin. It is also because I am learning Latin, but that is incidental. I suggest saying "Semper Monete" or writing it on your notebook so you "always are reminded" (that's is what it means) and others should be as well. This is not a conservative holiday, it is an American holiday. The day we were punched in the gut and we did not fall to the ground; we got up and hit them where it hurt and despite any person's thoughts, we are winning both wars. We are victorious against terrorism. We are America and will die for our country if need be. We were built on ideals and will die for those same ideals, that is just who we are. God Bless America.

Conservative Ideals

I finsihed reading this book from the library called Simple Social Graces: The Lost Art of Victorian Living. I think it explains not only what is wrong with our society today, it describes how to achieve a functioning, civilized, moral society. It is a good read and inspiring. The call number on it if anyone is interested is: 395 L6997s. I think this will turn the tide in our favor-- if people act on their morals. Don't criticize society for being so immoral and vice-ridden; set an example and live the life you want others to follow. That is what I am doing; it is more focused now because of this book. I encourage you all to read it.

Welcome Back!

This is to those who are home from the Republican National Convention (Allie and Dan) and David who is home from Ireland. Jen I hear is moving soon; good to have you here still!. School this semester is going to be interesting, to say the least, and so I'd like to ask how everyone is at the moment. We will be redecorating the Drawing Room if anyone has a suggestion, I would love to hear it!

Waiting with bated breath...

It is rather lonely in this lovely drawing room here. Would someone come in and rest a little while? It has been streesful lately with the RNC and school resuming for autumn. Take a load off your mind and relax! The building is over a hundred years old and creaks, but I busily run about preparing in case it is a visitor. Honestly, it is growing tiresome. I wonder who will be the first person (other than myself) to walk in through those enormous oak double-doors to have respite.

Hurricanes

The hurricanes are at it again in the Gulf Coast, but I couldn't help to think: was the coverage overkill of Gustav? It landed as a catergory two hurricane, nothing compared to catergory five Katrina. I believe all the press was to boast of all the precautions and logististical skill FEMA gained in the past three years. There have been less than ten reported deaths due to Gustav and thankfully those boastful remarks were true about how well everything worked this time. Governor Bobby Jindal did well in easing the fears of Louisianians and calming all down about the minor damage sustained during hurricanes. He deserves the credit for how smoothly and calmly the evacuations went this time.
