Happy Thanksgiving!



Like in previous years I wanted to post the Thanksgiving proclamation.

WHEREAS, It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor;

WHEREAS, Both the houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted' for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have show kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

--George Washington - October 3, 1789

Sitting at Work - WHY?

I am sitting at work, filling in for a supervisor who is off, and wondering why I am here...

We had to travel 452 miles round trip to attend a training session, which I did without complaint - Because it is my JOB.

Now I am here for a "midnight shift", because it is my JOB.

My job - I was raised to take MY JOB serious and a responsibility not taken lightly. "Work at it and you WILL succeed."

However, my future looks bleak - It appears the goal of my country is to take more and more of what I earn at MY JOB and give it to those who don't WORK, and a growing majority of those choose not to... Why does my government want this?

Because I am a male, a white male, because I chose to work, or simply to get votes and stay in power.

I believe it is because they want to stay in power caring not that they are creating a country full of pride-less, lazy, and selfish citizens... The irony here is THOSE IN GOVERNMENT will have me and you believe that I am selfish for working, taking MY JOB serious, and wanting the keep more of what I reap then they steal from me to give to those who choose not to WORK.

Well I have to get back to MY JOB because it is MY JOB, but I leave you with a question, WHY?

Having Fun

Testing how this app will work posting pics to blog.

Putting the Country on Trial

As the left celebrates the "trial" of confessed killers and murders we are going to see the US on trail - You don't believe it; how do you think a defense attorney is going to defend a confessed killer who requested to be executed - HMM?

9/11 Trial Poses Unparalleled Legal Obstacles - NYTimes.com
In fact, one question will be how a judge will prevent a trial from turning into a forum on the American war on terrorism

What is The Point?

While enjoying my double beef burrito (w/ sugar in drink) I watched not one, not two, but three women order 5 tacos with extra meat and cheese each...WITH diet cokes - What's the point in diet drinks?

The point, I really think these women thought they were doing some small thing that would be considered "good" by others...Just like an idiot who thinks 2 more miles per gallon should make them feel good about saving the planet. SAD!

Watch What You Say....
