Time To Take A Stand

This is LtCol Allen West. A very interesting man. Google his name and find out more about him. At the start of WW II, Adm King stated "when the shit hits the fan, that's when the call for the sons of bitches." LtCol Allen West is the kind of man we need in the military to win this war. Yet the Army forced him to retire. Find out why.

He is running for Congress. Here is his website - http://allenwestforcongress.com/.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

The Truth of Mike Huckabee

For anyone who thinks that Mike Huckabee should be President of the United States, I urge you to rethink your position. Maurice Clemmons - the animal who ambushed and killed four police officers in Washington state - was granted a clemency by then Governor Mike Huckabee. Clemmons is not the only animal granted clemency or pardoned by Huckabee. He released over a thousand animals during his tenure as governor. I urge you to go to these two websites -

and read about Tin Mike.

I also urge you to contact your Republican leaders and urge them to not support Mike Huckabee for any Republican position. Please make a effort to contact Michael Steele and let him know that Mike Huckabee is not who conservatives want to run for the Presidency.

I am writing this on December 1, 2009. This would have been the 63rd birthday of my sister Maryanne. However, a murderer cut short her life in September.
I have been thinking about her for some time since receiving the news of her death. I decided to write and post this in honor of her life and her memory.
My sister – Maryanne Agnes Humphrey – was a good woman, a loving mother, and a loving grandmother. I am ashamed to say that I did not always get along with her nor treat her with the respect and dignity she deserved. She deserved dignity and respect because she was a good woman who lived a hard life, harming no one and wishing no one any harm. Unfortunately, people did not treat her with the same consideration.
Recently I watched a news report concerning a woman in Arkansas named Ann Pressly. She was an up and coming news personality, brutally murdered when someone broke into her home. Her death and the trial of her murderer received national news coverage. She was twenty-six years old, blonde, and pretty. She was college educated and a rising star, her future probably assured. She seemed to want for nothing – she had looks, brains, an outstanding job, a good home life, supportive family.
My sister was sixty-two years old when some lowlife shot her twice in a convenience store robbery. Maryanne had to work at a convenience store because she did not have a college education. However, she was not dumb – not by a long shot. Maryanne was a straight A student in school but did not have the breaks an Anne Pressly has.
Maryanne grew up living in poverty but it did not beat her down. She tackled life and made the best out of her lot. I remember her as energetic and optimistic, never saying a bad word about anyone or going out of her way to cause harm to anyone. During her funeral, her daughter and granddaughter not only made two poster-boards of her comprised of pictures from her life but also had commissioned a DVD, showing pictures of her. Every picture shows her smiling and happy. I was stunned to see how pretty she was and that she had a beautiful smile. Her face shined showing no traces of bitterness, defeat, or depression that a hard life can do to some.
Why had I not seen this before? Why did I not treat her better? She never did anything to me and yet I did nothing for her. I am ashamed and I am sorry. I realized that we never get the second chance. This is our one shot and to live life without telling your siblings or your parents that you love them is truly heartbreaking. There is no more time for anger and bitterness. There is only time left to leave it behind and embrace what you have with whom you are with.
I believe in God and I believe that Maryanne is with Him. Why? As I said, she was a good woman who never went out of her way to harm others, who never did evil, and tried her best with her abilities to help those around her. I never said I loved her so I say it now. I love my sister Maryanne and I hope and pray that I can say that to her in Heaven.
