As a realist, regardless of who said what Pelosi said, don't you think it is really, really stupid to say the CIA lied to you? Accusing the CIA of something they most likely didn't do is not a good way to keep living as normally as possible. I can't believe she would say that to keep face with the press-- oh, yes I can.
She can't admit that she knew about water-boarding in 2002 because then her followers would ask why she didn't say anything about it until a few years ago. In reality, she might have had a chance of reelection for the admittance of her honesty of knowing and keeping her mouth shut in a Post- 9/11 world. Remember the way things were in 2002, she would never have been reelected that year if she came out against the torture of terrorists.
She is an idiot for saying the CIA lied to her. In the last year, Pelosi has been ripped for having private jet rides for government visits, for saying the Pope is inconsistent with his stance on abortion (he got her good, too), and for so many other things in all this TARP business. Maybe keeping her mouth shut would be a good way to get reelected again.

Cola Wars
I am too young to remember the real Cola Wars, but I learned there was a different one yesterday. Apparently Coca-Cola is all that is served at the Democratic National Convention. I like Coke, but I guess I have to switch to Pepsi so I don't drink a socialist potion of indoctrination. Here's what perplexes me:
Coke cans are red and Pepsi cans are blue. Red is Republican and Blue is Democrat and yet the opposite is true for softdrinks. Should they change the color of their cans to correspond to the majority of their drinkers? I don't know, I just have to drink Coke less often now. Pepsi still doesn't as good to me though.

Fed up
I love phrases with multiple meanings. I am fed up with the Federal Government. They are out of control with our money, not to mention my grandchildren's money. Congress does what it pleases and complains when real questions are asked of them (Barney Frank, President Obama). I like that kid who questioned Barney Frank; that took guts, asking serious question to him. He was so flustered, he never actually answered how responsible he was for the economic mess we're in.
Obama has some nerve saying we're arrogant. In France! How dare you. America has protected Europe since World War I, we pay for the great majority of the UN's budget, we were the economic stability of the world before we changed to the debt standard (from the gold standard, starting to like William Jennings Bryan right now?), we are the symbol of freedom in the world. If anything we're just proud. Americans have a lot to be proud of and I cannot believe the President thinks it is fine to call us arrogant, and not even to our faces in America.
I think many can agree with this statement: I am fed up with the government and the world hating us at the same time they are takig our funding. We can't afford it and if you don't like us, don't take the money, or the troops, or the support. We'll leave you alone, we'll be isolated again. Last time that happened, Europe was taken over by a fascist dictator; I don't believe they want that again. Also, take some control of your government. We are trying because we are sick of this spending from both sides. Socialism is wrong and it has never worked. Not only that, it is lazy. "Let the government take care of the problems" is the wrong attitude for anyone especially Americans to take in the world. America was founded on a government for the people, by the people, and of the people. Let us not disappoint all those men and women who fought to make this wonderful nation a reality.

Anytown Tea Party, USA
I'm sure many of you have heard of these Tax Day Tea Parties arund the country. I am interested in this. I know why we had the Boston Tea Party, but I don't quite understand the impact this one would have. Could someone explain to me and those who are unfamilar with this what it will do?
There are lots of places to go to be prepared for April 15, like www.AmericanSolutions.com/TeaParty or Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, but I still can't figure out how this will get Congress to open their eyes. I know we are angry, a great majority of Americans, and we want to be like our forefathers and demonstrate this in a very open and blunt way. Whoever can tell us, please do so. I'm sure this is extremely important, and we need to be informed to be good citizens.

Today's times
It seems like the world is falling apart around us lately. It has in the past and this may be another one of those moments in history where no one knows how an event occurred. We have the Economy in shambles; the "fixes" aren't helping and won't help; socialist programs are being enacted (or will be very soon if the President gets what he wants) in the United States not 20 years after the Soviet Union fell; Cuba may begin relations with the U.S. again; things we have grown accustomed to inthe last eight years such as speaking out against policies are disappearing (Wal-mart refuses to sell anti-Barack Obama paraphrenalia) not to mention some free speech; half the cabinet was appointed- not approved by Congress (the czars and such); Europe is falling worse than America; and the list goes on. These things are bad, but we shouldn't let them get to us.
We have to remember what we have and no government, no policy can take away from us in America. We have our family; our faith, how and whether we choose to practice it; our friends; our beliefs; an unbelievable support around the country from others like ourselves; our memories of times when life was better; trying to bring prosperity back to America and dare I say wake up to "Morning in America"; we have all we need to be content and secure during these four years of Preisdent Obama and hopefully one more year of this Congress. Use these tools, don't let them go. Tell those like you that they are needed are we can stay strong and rebuild. We have what it takes; let's regroup and get back out there with our enthusiasm and optimism!
Remember it as been worse before and it has been better before. We can make it better than it has ever been. We just need to stick together and our beliefs.
