It's only money

Our country is drowning in debt and our President doesn't care. He is taking Air Force 1 around the country almost every day at a huge cost. He claims he is informing the people of his jobs plan. Why not a press conference that would reach thousands more and cost the taxpayers nothing. The reason is that he combines these trips with fund raising events for his next election campaign As many as three in one day! God knows with his terrible record, he will need all the cash he can obtain. But this is done at the taxpayers expense. It is not only unfair, it borders on criminal. And, get this! Hillary and the State Department spent $70,000 of our dollars to Give Obama's Book (Dreams of My Father) as gifts to other world leaders. This White House cares little about our national debt. Obama gets the profits from the book. He is on a trip alright and soon we'll all be underwater and it won't be from that stupid global warming haox! --- Grandpa Gordon

No Military?

The mob of protesters in New York City decrying Wall Street greed have trouble explaining their purpose when questioned. MRC news asked some about reducing the budget of the military by 50%. One young lady replied it should be cut 100%. She stated that: Then we could no longer attack helpless countries overseas. I wished I were there to ask her-- What should we then do with the women and children when a Russia attacks us on the east coast and a China attacks us on the west? What are our schools and colleges teaching these young people? They simply do not have a clue. We are in an Obama mess. The Tea Party has their work cut out to bring this country back. In a recent fund-raising speech President Obama said that he wanted to bring this country back to being number one. We were before he was elected. ---Grandpa Gordon

Relections

Sunday. A perfect October day it is. Warm and sunny and the air is clean and crisp. For many a day of worship and a day to reflect. A day to be positive and a day to hope for better times to come. I attended church, recieved some inspiration from Reverend Mark and chatted with cousins and friends. Driving home I had a positive feeling and an optimistic hope for our country. Then a curious thought elated me. ----As each and every day rolls by and history is recorded, I grow more and more proud that I didn't vote for Barack Obama! ---- Grandpa Gordon

Add On

In the last blog about NYS Agencies ordered to have forms in six foreign languages, they must also provide interpreters. Another crazy expense in a time of budget crisis. I believe that in our Constitution, in order to vote, you must be able to speak and understand English. This helps you to be able to cast your ballot, but also, helps you understand the issues and the candidates. It makes sense to me. Too bad that Andrew Cuomo doesn't know that.
On the left coast in liberal California, elementaty schools had one class each, of English and Spanish speaking students. Two classes and two teachers for every grade. Much added expense. One community went against the rule and combined the classes for English only. My favorite part of this story is when a little Mexican girl was asked how the first year affected her. She related that , at first it was difficult, but soon she was having fun learning and speaking English. And she said, that best of all, she had a whole bunch of new friends.-----Are you listening Andrew and the rest of you mis-guided liberals?

Plain English

NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo today issued an order requiring all state agencies to add six foreign languages to all official forms. This will cost our cash-strapped state well over a million dollars to implement. Not only is this a poor time for such expence, it is a stupid idea. It would be far cheaper to teach the newcomers English. A majority of Americans want English as the official language. Cuomo and many other politicians pander for votes from ethnic groups by not requiring knowledge of our language. Our great country grew to be the envy of the entire world because all newcomers learned English and became members of the American society. They came to be proud Americans and were far better able to pursue the American dream. Why change what has worked so well for over 200 years? Incidentaly, the Italian speaking Cuomos are now all fluent in English. Including Andrew!
