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

[#1hockeymom]

Hey Soarin, just had to say I like your avatar! Of course I like anything that is Glenn Beckish.

I had to tell you that we took my In-laws to see the encore showing of The Christmas Sweater last night. My MIL has some emotional problems related to family Christmases past and we thought it would help her to see it. Actually I fell that we were meant to take them because we had some things happen that pointed us in that direction.

I ordered a signed copy of the book, but got two extra copies two weeks later. When I called the company they had no record of them being sent and told us to keep them. We gave them to two people that were having some problems in their life right now and they told us how reading it helped them. Then when we went to the live show, the only empty seats in the theater were the two directly in front of us. It turns out that both my wife and I came to the same conclusion that we were supposed to take her Mom and Dad to the movie showing.

We were so glad that we did as my MIL actually cried and afterward hugged my wife and told her that she was her joy! This is from a lovely woman who turns into the Grinch at Christmas time every year. I even joked during the film "that her heart grew three sizes that day". I have never seen her open up like she did. I think it really helped her deal with some of the baggage she has been carrying. She now loves Glenn! Of course I don't dare tell her that Glenn is a Conservative!

Maybe I just was reading too much into it, but it sure seemed like God wanted us to help her, and knowing that we couldn't do it alone, we could help her through Glenn.

What an awesome story!

Another thread is discussing Christmas cards and someone posted a thread to the Whitehouse christmas cards . Back in 2004 DH was a delegate to convention and I was a Chair to Convention. We got this card from GWB & Laura.

Since then, our lives have gotten so busy we gave up those positions. I hope to get back into politics with both feet in a couple more years when the kids are older (and I can trust them to stay home alone while I go to the meetings).


/shameless brag ​

The sad part is when we moved last year I put it safey in a box so it didn't get crinkled. I don't know which box I put it in. I know I'll find it someday...

And I love your story. That is wonderful!!!! I should've been smart and ordered the signed copy of the book.... I'd love to have one.

Glenn Beckish..... I like it.

Is there a thread about Bush bailing out the automakers? Haven't see one. Apparently some Republican Senators are po'd

duh...I thought it was related to Rockin' Roller Coaster! I knew it looked familiar.

HB - that is a very heartwarming story about the Glenn Beck Christmas show and your MIL.

I wanted to go to the theater so badly but didn't want to subject others to my hacking cough. I was glad to hear that there may be a CD/DVD of the performance. I will surely be looking out for it.

I know that there will be a DVD because we preordered one when we saw him at the live performance. I have no idea when they will offer it for sale to everyone though.

Glenn talked on the radio how his microphone was going in and out at one part of the filming and they had to switch it out when the singer came out to sing. So after the show was over, they had the audience sit back down and redid the part with the bad sound so it would be normal on the DVD. He was so thankful that the audience didn't mind helping him out.

woot! Thanks Studentmom - I changed my 'forum skin' - now I'm in holiday mode.

And, blonde moment here [and I'm only a bottle blond], I thought Norwalk was a furniture store [there's one here in TN] or, better yet, a WDW restaurant. When I was reading about others' experience with Norwalk, I thought -- hmmm....I don't think I want to eat there!

Now I know and there's even a thread about it. And I'm adding hand sanitizer to my packing list - lots of hand sanitizer...

I can't wait for his show to start on FoxNews. It'll be on early where I live so I'll just to tell my boss I need to leave by 5:00pm and then rush home. I live only a mile or so from work. I wonder if he'll keep the same format or change things up a bit.

Hi ya'll! I'm back from my Happy Place. It was Magical. Every day.... perfect weather.....perfect everything.

I see nothing's changed....OS still happy and perky I listening to SH. There're discussing how NOW it's OKAY to call "him" barack HUSSEIN obama.

Anyway, here's a couple of pics to cheer ya'll up. merry CHRISTmas!!!

A room with a view!!

 

[Decorated_Dust]

Wow, my last post was on 219...yesterday. I'm not used to threads going so fast.

By the way, Rick Warren at the inauguration: AWESOME!! I'm glad Obama is at least reaching out. It makes me somewhat optimistic. Then again, it's depressing to see such a great humanitarian and man of God being treated like a horrible person for a single issue. I could write a whole essay defending him, and I probably will. I'll try and put a link to my blog to anyone trying to hurt Rick Warren.

THE FLEECING OF ILLINOIS
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann

12.18.2008

Is there no end to the arrogance of our elected officials? Having assisted in foisting Rod Blagojevich on the voters of Illinois, the Democrats in Springfield have refused to strip him of the power to appoint a new Senator for fear that they might lose a special election, as voters seethe over Blagojevich’s corruption. Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan refused to allow passage of legislation mandating a special election, insisting that Obama’s replacement be chosen by the governor - however corrupt he may be.
Of course, the state legislature is threatening to move ahead with impeachment, but there is no guarantee that they could do so in time to stop the crazy governor from appointing a new Senator before they vote. And United State Senate appointments by a sitting governor are final. There is no legislative confirmation at either the state or the federal level.


Voters in Illinois desperately want the opportunity to choose their own Senator, their faith in the appointive process having been shaken beyond repair. A recent statewide poll found that by a margin of 66-26, Illinois wants to choose its next Senator in a special election rather than through gubernatorial appointment. They should have the chance to do so.

Every major spot in Illinois state government is now held by a Democrat. One party government, by either party, breeds the kind of arrogant corruption and self-seeking of which Blagojevich has become the poster child.

I can't wait for the DVD. I hope it gets released ASAP! I'm thinking I'm going to go to the bookstore and hunt down his book An Inconvenient Book- it sounds good. Duh.

I can't wait for his show to start on FoxNews. It'll be on early where I live so I'll just to tell my boss I need to leave by 5:00pm and then rush home. I live only a mile or so from work. I wonder if he'll keep the same format or change things up a bit.

He's supposed to keep basically the same format with just a few minor changes. I don't care. It's Glenn- I've missed seeing him on TV the past few months. When they dropped his show on CNN I panicked because I thought he was gone from TV forever! But then I found out he was going to Fox News and relaxed.

Wow, my last post was on 219...yesterday. I'm not used to threads going so fast.

Get used to it. This thread moves QUICK! I've quit trying to catch up.

 

[wonderlanne]

I would like a request to make it Christmas themed. I know we're not all Christian here, but it is one week before Christmas!

"WE wish you a Merry Christmas"?

 

[wonderlanne]

I still think we need the batsignal in the title, but I'm easy. I don't care what it says as long as we have a thread.

"WE wish you a merry bat christmas"?

 

[Soarin08]

"WE wish you a Merry Christmas"?

No no, we can't say that, remember? It's not correct. Hmmmm.....

That should include everyone.....
