I was replying to multiple posts, and was almost done, when my computer restarted...so I lost it all!
At any rate, I'm glad MM that your test results came back good. That must be a relief.
Honugirl - I'm glad for the positive news so far...I'll keep you in prayer, too.
About Christmas gifts and $$...I make our Christmas gifts.
I think someone posted this article on here before, but I heard this guy this a.m. on Laura Ingraham. Basically, he said that the U.S. has become a laughing stock to Britain because of the election results...He said that even the British can see what a joke the media was this election cycle. This just isn't good for our standing internationally...
"The night we waved goodbye to America... our last best hope on Earth"
Peter Hitchens
Anyone would think we had just elected a hip, skinny and youthful replacement for God, with a plan to modernise Heaven and Hell or that at the very least John Lennon had come back from the dead.
The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation. At least Mandela-worship its nearest equivalent is focused on a man who actually did something.
I really dont see how the Obama devotees can ever in future mock the Moonies, the Scientologists or people who claim to have been abducted in flying saucers. This is a cult like the one which grew up around Princess Diana, bereft of reason and hostile to facts. ...
If you can believe that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything. He plainly doesnt believe it himself. His cliche-stuffed, PC clunker of an acceptance speech suffered badly from nerves.
It was what you would expect from someone who knew hed promised too much and that from now on the easy bit was over.
He neednt worry too much. From now on, the rough boys and girls of Americas Democratic Party apparatus, many recycled from Bill Clintons stained and crumpled entourage, will crowd round him, to collect the rich spoils of his victory and also tell him what to do, which is what he is used to...
Just look at his sermon by the shores of Lake Michigan. He really did talk about a new dawn, and a timeless creed (which was yes, we can). He proclaimed that change has come. He revealed that, despite having edited the Harvard Law Review, he doesnt know what enormity means. He reached depths of oratorical drivel never even plumbed by our own Mr Blair, burbling about putting our hands on the arc of history (or was it the ark of history?) and bending it once more toward the hope of a better day (Dont try this at home).
I am not making this up. No wonder that awful old hack Jesse Jackson sobbed as he watched. How he must wish he, too, could get away with this sort of stuff...
Perhaps, being a Chicago crowd, they knew some of the things that 52.5 per cent of America prefers not to know.
They know Obama is the obedient servant of one of the most squalid and unshakeable political machines in America. They know that one of his alarmingly close associates, a state-subsidised slum landlord called Tony Rezko, has been convicted on fraud and corruption charges...
They grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world.
Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.
These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of Americas conservative party the Republicans to fight on the cultural and moral fronts.
They preferred to posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on their behalf in far-off deserts.
And now the US, like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth?[/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-waved-goodbye-America--best-hope-Earth.html#B]

I don't lurk in your group and I'm sure most of us don't. Even if they do I don't know if they post.
However, I've never posted over there. I don't have a problem with them lurking here, but I find posting here rather rude.
