Who is Ellie Light?

Ellie Light is a letter writer. "She" has been writing letters to the editor, in serious support of President Obama at a whole lot of newspapers all over the country.

The story is here: http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2010/01/letter_writer_claims_diverse_r.html

I'm putting the story link up because I don't know how to do it any other way! Sorry..

Keep your propaganda to yourself, "Ellie".

I wonder..

why Tareq and Michaele Salahi (the White House "gate crashers") had to appear before Congress. They took the 5th and refused to testify. What's up with that? Millions of people enter this country illegally every year. They bypass border checkpoints, and sneak in. They don't hide once they get here, though. They are proud to have broken the law.

Yet the United States government wants to give these criminals a "pathway to citizenship". This is from the White House website:

"President Obama supports a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens."

Do illegals WANT to be US citizens? I'd have to say no to that. They don't want to blend in, and become part of a group. They're already part of a group.

But, that's another subject. This is about the Salahis. So my question is... why the big problem with them going to a party? Oh, I get it. People aren't supposed to go to the White House without being invited, but they can live next door to MY house, no problem, no questions asked.

The shot heard 'round the world

So that was how we started.

Last night, Massachusetts gave us "The Scott Heard 'Round the World". (I really wish I had made that up, but I didn't...) While I laid on the couch watching the election returns, I couldn't say much. Two reasons. One, I'm sick and my throat is on fire. Two, I kept seeing 52% Brown (R), 47% Coakley (D). Those figures didn't change. Then, when the results hit 75% of the votes counted, and the AP called the election for Brown, I was shocked. I mean, Massachusetts is seriously blue! Ted Kennedy, "the liberal lion", held that seat for so many years.

Now it's time for.... the blame game!

The blame game goes all the way to the top. Second (and third, fourth, fifth.. by now I don't remember) verse, same as the first. Here's what White House press secretary Robert Gibbs had to say last night during a press briefing about Tuesday's elections.

"The electorate is expressing a sense of anger that has been continuous since before the 2008 election that brought President Barack Obama into the White House. There is a tremendous amount of upset and anger. In many ways, we are here because of that upset and anger.”

Oh. Really? George W. Bush is at fault. That's getting old. Mr. Gibbs, you sound like my kids. Never accepting responsibility and blaming someone else when they get found out.

So what's next? We've seen that President Obama doesn't care at all about the Democrats. He completely ignored them in his health care speech on September 9th, 2009, by talking to "my Republican friends", and "my progressive friends". As we have seen, especially in the Senate, when they were trying to get their 60 votes, "democrat" does not necessarily mean "progressive".

What is next for me, is waiting to see when the Democratic Party starts to self-destruct. It's coming. I wonder if "The Scott Heard 'Round the World" is the start of the next American Revolution....

When are lying, cheating, or stealing ever okay?

I'm a mom. We teach our kids to tell the truth. Sometimes they don't, but there are consequences for bad behavior. We teach our kids to be honest; we teach them not to cheat, or steal. I'm not THAT old. My kids think I'm ancient, but I'm really not. 40-something is NOT ancient. But when I was a kid, being honest meant something. A person's actions and words showed exactly who that person was. Now, unfortunately, not so much.

Meet Ed Schultz. He's a host for MSNBC, and he has a syndicated talk radio show. Never heard of him before today, because I don't watch MSNBC, and my taste runs to conservative talk radio. (Surprised? LOL) He said this on his radio show last Friday, when he was talking about the special election being held in Massachusetts tomorrow, to elect a Senator for the seat that was vacated when Senator Kennedy passed away. (By the way, it's NOT an election to find someone to fill "Teddy Kennedy's seat".)

"I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times," said Schultz on his Friday radio show. "I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are."

Here's the audio:



Why is it okay for liberals to call people names, and advocate lying, cheating, and stealing? Mr. Schultz, you did advocate all three. Voting more than once to win an election would be stealing it, wouldn't you say?

I say, Ed Schultz, shame on you.

Your words and your actions have shown us your character.

I just had to laugh!

When I'm watching TV, I'm usually watching episodes of Clean House that I DVRd, or I'm watching Food Network. LOVE.IT. Iron Chef America is one of my favorites. I have to admit that I'm a bigger fan of the uber-cheesy original Iron Chef, but since I've seen most of those, I look forward to watching Iron Chef America.

I wasn't so thrilled when I found out about the "super battle" featuring the White House executive chef, and an appearance by Michelle Obama. I thought, "Oh, man, my favorite network is being taken over." But I watched it anyway. I like Emeril, and Bobby Flay, and Mario Batali. So why not watch? It was on my DVR, and I needed something to watch while I was doing the free step for a half hour on my Wii Fit.

The secret ingredient? "Anything from the White House garden", says Mrs. Obama. Sweet potatoes, cauliflower, beans, honey... Honey? Did you know there is a beehive on the South Lawn of the White House? No? Me neither.

The battle was okay, it was no surprise that the White House executive chef's team was the winner. I deleted the show from the DVR to make room for other stuff and moved on. Until today... when I read this.

"Due to the production delay between the shoot at the White House and the shoot at Food Network, the produce used in Kitchen Stadium during the 'Super Chef Battle' was not actually from the White House garden."

Okay it's understandable, from a production/time standpoint. By the time they actually shot the battle, the produce would have been spoiled, so they ended up using the "exact types" of produce grown in the White House garden. So, why not change the First Lady's line to "The same types of produce that we grow at the White House"? I mean, that was the truth, right?

I'm really not upset about the whole produce thing. You can't believe a whole lot of what you see or hear on TV. Like President Obama when he said that if a family doesn't make $250,000 a year, there will be absolutely NO tax increases. Like Nancy Pelosi when she said that "there has never been a more open process for any legislation". Ready for those closed-door meetings, Speaker?

Oh wait. We can certainly believe our elected leaders, can't we?

What in the world is happening to our country?

Take a look.



I just watched this video, and I am disgusted.

I don't usually watch Bill O'Reilly. We're trying to get things settled down around the house when he's on.

Why didn't I hear about this on NBC? CBS? ABC? CNN? MSNBC? Just asking.

Not much leaves me speechless. This did it.

I am...

Oh, I really don't like saying that. Jesus said it. "I AM." I want to be more like Jesus, but I'm not even close.

I am a wife, a mom, a homemaker, a daughter, niece, cousin, friend..

I'm NOT conservatively liberal. I'm not liberal at all. I'm not moderate.

What I am, is conservative, and I'm not ashamed of it.

I don't believe that it's possible to be "moderate". You're either conservative, or you're liberal.
In my opinion, if you're not one, you're the other.

My husband calls me "a polimom".

We'll see!
