Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Amy&Dan]

Oh my, just read through the Cheney Train Wreck thread, Dawn and Mkingdomlvr are taking a beating. I should chime in but I'm too chicken. Had to come over here to get that one outta my mind.

Its amazing to me how different people can feel.

God love Dawn, she takes it like a champion!

Michelle67, that stairwell is amazing!

My Mom sent me this in an email.

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.

When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?' And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

My mom tells this story every year! Her "angel" voice is hysterical.

It's clear that they want to sit and criticize, yet have no answers or solutions. I truly hope that their sainted leader is wiser than they are, or we could be in a LOT of trouble.

I've learned not to take the bait. So when I see a thread like that, I usually do this... and move on.

I have been doing that more and more lately. I just went over again (to the afore mentioned Cheney thread), and seeing people who never fail to show complete disdain for Christianity question how Christians can feel this way or that, it just makes me ill. Gee, if I do that to another religion, I am a racist, a hater. Once again proving beating up on Christians is just a wonderful hobby for many disers. A poster I used to respect may just need to go on my ignore list.

Time to find some more decent recipes, that's what I came on the CB for anyway!

You keep fighting the good fight friend! I just don't have the backbone anymore I am afraid. Not that I didn't love being called names by them back in the days before the election!

I made your sugar cookies by the way!

No one I knew. One lady goes on the creative Disers board. She had homemade shirts and she got the picture from the DIS, that's how we spotted her. One lady at POP had LGMH's

sorry...but what is a LGMH?

Lime Green Mickey Heads. They are paint chip sample thingies from Home Depot that many disers get to identify themselves in the parks to other disers.

It's the "tolerance" that gets to you, isn't it? They're all so about Christianity. On another thread, it was made very clear that as soon as people "mature" and become "more educated" religion will die out entirely.

silly rabbits....if it hasn't happened in the most recent 2008 years, why would it ever?

Here's the cinnamon bread I made over the weekend:

Ingredients
6-7 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
6 teaspoons sugar
2 packs active dry yeast
3/4 cup water
2 eggs at room temp

Combine milk, water and butter in medium saucepan. heat over low heat until liquids are very warm 120 to 130 degrees. The butter doesn't need to melt.

Combine 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt and yeast in mixing bowl, mix on very slow speed.

Add liquids to flour mixture slowly, adding eggs in between application of liquids. Let the mixture get "soupy" before starting to add additional flour by the spoonful. Keep adding flour until the dough wraps around the breadhook and the sides of the bowl are clean. It usually takes about 10 minutes.

Remove dough from mixing bowl and place in a greased bowl, turning the dough until it is covered with the grease. cover, place in a warm dry place and let rise for 35 minutes

Punch dough down-divide in half. Roll each half out on a floured surface to a 14 x9 rectangle. Brush lightly with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar to taste. Beginning at one end, roll the dough as for a jelly roll and shape loaves. (each batch makes 2 loaves) Place in loaf pans, let rise in a warm place for 35 minutes.

WOW. Ok You guys with your 19th century houses need to pony up some pics. That has always been my dream, to renovate/restore a turn of the century home. I'm so jealous..... That staircase is beautiful! What other projects have you guys done??

We're heading to see Glenn tonight as well. I can't wait.

I feel like such an underachiever in points...I've only had 70....guess I had better get back out there and ruffle some liberal feathers with a few words of truth...which is all I ever stated....and that one lady really did deserve to get her money back for her ivy-league education, I don't care WHAT she says

Most of our other projects were boring and practical like rewiring and putting in new lighting fixtures, switches and breakers. Yawn. That was the gem that I love remembering and showing people. Right now I've got a few too many windows open, but later on I'll post a picture of the outside of the house if you want.

Okay, I am printing this one out to make when my inlaws come this weekend! I think somebody around here might be a very good cook!

AHHHHH! I ventured out of the comfort and safety of this thread and my Unicorn thread. Boy, some people are really nasty out there, aren't they? Ugh. I think I'll spend the day watching the snow fall.

Actually its quite the opposite in my opinion. In our youth we often turn up our noses at the conventional wisdom our parents tried to give us, then we grow up and suddenly those things become much more important to us.

I'll also add that many of the posters on the dis are a breed of democrats/liberals that aren't a one size fits all. I know just as many Christians who may espouse the politics of some of our not so favorite disers, but not the rest of their beliefs. Not even close. Which is a good thing in my opinion.

I feel sad because to them, we are just as offensive and sad as they are to us.

I like baking, but I only cook so we don't look like the Pillsbury dough-couple. I asked DH for Martha Stewart's cooking school book for Christmas so I can learn a bit more about it.

My friend says the cinnamon bread makes great French toast, but we haven't tried that yet. We're taking some to my sister's to try that for Christmas morning breakfast.

What I find interesting is that some of the people who are anti-religion claim that it is the pious Christian attitude which turns them off, yet they are guilty of their own superior expression of a different set of views.

 

[DisneyMomOK]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but pls look at Chicago Sun Times article about Eric Holder. I would post link, but only have computer for a minute. Appears he forgot to mention his ties w/ Blago/Rezko in his AG application. Hmmm...

Hmm, I wonder if we might be thinking of the same person(s)!
