Haiti is going to need our support and prayers for a long time. Haiti doesn't have the structure and infrastructure that you and I are accustomed to - it does not operate the same way. The world will have expectations about how quickly and thoroughly it should recover, but it's not going to meet them. Everyone needs to be prepared for that.In the middle of all of this, Pat Robertson made a

Shamelessly stolen from the Cavemen, who stole it from Acts of the Apostasy.Unfortunately, this really IS what our children are being taught... if they're even lucky enough to hear the words "founding fathers".And yes, this IS what you liberals think of this country.Go somewhere else and f THAT place up, instead.

Today, I recieved the sacrament of Confirmation in the old Catholic rite. We had candidates as young as 11 years old, and some that I would estimate in their mid-50s. We had 60 candidates, in all, from the surrounding states.You may have seen the bumper sticker that reads: "I'd travel 500 miles for the Latin Mass". Confirmation is a sacrament that I believe I put off for many years, and my

Doesn't that mean that people will buy more cigarettes, and smoke more of them? Doesn't that mean more cancer and other smoking-related illnesses and deaths from all of the fillers? More tax revenue, more population control? More control?Sounds like a plan, if you ask me.

I'm watching snippets of coverage of Obama et al in Normandy. Military band music is playing. It's very poignant and somber. And to those who have died for our freedom from tyranny and fascism, which ended up being an easy victory here in America, I say aloud, "I'm sorry, guys".

What About Our Daughters has an interesting post this morning.  I really like this blogger, she's done many posts focused on the cultural hitjob of the Black woman's mind and well being.  Most recently, she did a three part series on Essence magazine's "new normal" for Black women and the best they can expect to get out of life.  I admire her for standing up and saying that the absurd is NOT the

This weekend, Mr. Jones is taking me turkey hunting.  I've got my gear, heck I've even got my rear in gear.  However, I still don't have a lot of experience with the bird barrel or turkey loads.  So, my friends, this is going to be a long shot.  I'll take my camera with me though, just in case I get lucky.  I'll leave it up to Jimi to decide whether there's a joke in there somewhere!

Here at the Confidentials, my point is not to tell you what to think. My approach is to give you food for thought. Now, I know that thought is being bred out of our culture in favor of being told what to think, what to do, but I'm not budging from the basics. Case in point is that we now indoctrinate instead of educate children and some adults so that they are primed to simply swallow what

And from time to time, a post is so good, that I'll re-post the whole post.

* Note to all McMiller people, be sure to read the last paragraphI was the lone gunwoman today as I headed out to McMiller. Asian Badger was considering going but could not make it. This was the first time I shot the gun, ever. So part of me really wanted someone to be there with me, but what was I thinking. Gun owners are a group of people who are generous with their time and knowledge.

Oh yes, I ::was:: the only human being above the age of 18 who hadn't seen Caddyshack. Mr. Jones was there this evening to share the moment with me. Seriously, that's love. Being able to say, "hey baby, I know you've seen Caddyshack 62 times not counting the time you watched it yesterday, but would you watch it with me, for me?"In the words of the lolcat, "we has a We".Which has nothing to do

That they wished they could have lived when I did. The era of Reagan, during the times when considering life as sacred was the norm, when people knew the value of money, when they saved up for something instead of saddling themselves with debt, when most people worked and took pride in being productive instead of taking pride in taking, when having faith in Jesus Christ was not considered

Every time I saw a headline today that referred to "Bo" or "BO" I kept thinking that they were referring to the president. Turns out they were referring to a dog. I don't think it's any coincidence the dog is named with the president's initials.

I think I was in third grade when this was first released.... probably 1980 or 81. And the only way I know that is because I bought my first Cadbury cream egg at Drews in Tosa. And I nearly missed the 31 bus that day. Man, that $0.40 sure seemed like a lot of money at the time!

Really, I don't know how people do these themselves. I had breakage. BREAKAGE! So it's weird to have a hole in my mouth, but I've made a deal with myself. I'll have to pretend it's the good old days of when my teeth would fall out as a kid. In other words, to pretend I'm 8 for a little while.Which is in stark contrast to the liberals who are 8, everyday. So that means every day is kids day.

I've got a little something going on, and I think it's been going on for a bit. Reducing stress might help the problem short term, i.e. blogging less, reading fewer stories about the dismantling of our country, etc. Which is, I'm sure, a delight to those who want to slam socialism through. One less person watching, what glee!Nope. We will never stop watching. And we won't give up this

I dreamt that the sun was going to die. It wasn't going to swell up and swallow the earth like the horror stories we heard in grade school... it would just fade away and stop giving off light.So it would eternally be night here, my children would never know what a bright warm sunny day would feel like.

Just a thought this morning.If we end up being forced under the yoke of nationalized healthcare, I hope that entrepreneurial Americans will still set up businesses to provide low-cost healthcare outside of the system.It's well-known that cash-only transactions are often the least expensive.You know...barring any laws about competition against the gubmint.

I tuned in to American Idol because I wanted to check out Anoop. But Adam Lambert just completely blew me away with his rendition of "Ring of Fire". I hope I can find a YouTube of it. It was totally wrong from a traditional Johnny Cash perspective, but by itself, it was amazing.

These, the words of Ronald Reagan...ring as true today as they ever could.The trouble is, the volume is very high. Which is, I think, the point.

Every other weekend - and sometimes in between - I pick up a few boxes of ammo for both barrels. Ammo accountability or other gun laws won't be debated, they'll slam them through in the dead of night just like they're doing with everything else. We'll wake up one day and surprise, we'll have new laws.Ammo...if I could only earn compound interest on it... although the payoff could some day be

It's rare that I will republish an entire post, but I came across something today that bears repeating, if not sharing with many. From Vir Speluncae Catholicus: (To my lefty readers: try being as open minded as you espouse, for once)My good goomba Al, over at Is Anybody There? had an interesting comment on one of my recent posts. In reference to Obama "being too tired" to properly greet the

This isn't good news. Obama and team apparently plans to use more Alinskian tactics to intimidate the country into loving their economic plans. From Obama's Propaganda Director: In the video, Mitch Stewart, the director of Organizing for America, urged the president's supporters to take part in the "Organizing for America Pledge Project." "The pledge project is an ambitious effort to map

Sound familiar?It's from Goodfellas. And like many things that once sounded absurd that are now the norm...Think about the coming tsunami of fees, taxes, controls, and other usurpations of our freedoms. The other day I decided to NOT walk to work because why? Why peasant don't you want to walk to work? Well my flipping leg hurt ok? So I drove. Much to my dismay, parking rates downtown have

Facebook...texting...and other social networking. Believe it or not, they ARE unnecessary. More important than these things, are real human relationships and the ability to connect with other people. These types of sites and all of the bells-and-whistles mobile devices are sold to us as ways to "stay connected". Of course, these are great technological advances. But for many people, they

Still on the fence about whether I'm going. I'm concerned that they're putting too many speakers in the general session and that we won't hear enough from people like Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, and others. In looking at the afternoon sessions...well...I'm not sure either. I wish there was more about the future of gun owner's rights and concealed carry in WI. $36 is a lot for me to spring right

My biggest fear so far has been the quick and brazen seizing of power by the Obama administration. Everything controlled for our own good - and enacted quickly. Turns out that Sheets Byrd tends to agree with me. (Notice, it's not the other way around)....In a letter to Obama on Wednesday, Byrd complained about Obama’s decision to create White House offices on health reform, urban affairs

What better day than to open Sonic? I want to go, but today, tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that....might not be the best days to get in line. Unless it's late at night.Secondly, I'm giving up Facebook for lent. Which is a little bittersweet because I've reconnected with so many old friends.

Now YOU can use communist propaganda imagery to make a counter-statement.  The tool is here.  Best results are when you use your webcam.  And get this... you can make shirts, mousepads, mugs, all kinds of garbage to promote your garbage.  Whatta country!  Well, at least it was.

Ah, you thought your Monday was bad.  Imagine being THE ONE and getting (gasp!) embarassed! By a dastardly, trifling military vehicle, nonetheless!!! Oh and the comments, how could I forget the comments: "So it turns out Obama isn't just another Jimmy Carter...he's also Gerald Ford."

Did anyone else watch Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace?I'd swear Lawrence Summners said "we lost 600 million jobs alone in January".Granted I'm halfway through my first cup of coffee.......but I could hardly stop myself from saying, "he just said it too".

You heard it here first. You know it's coming: If Rush hadn't said he hoped Obama would fail, well maybe all of this wouldn't have happened.And to that I would say, if your guy fails because of some big bad words, then shame on you for putting him there.

I was very young when Jimmy Carter took office. I do recall that times were a lot "nicer" at the start of the term, and that people seemed excited about him being in office. As his term progressed I remember life becoming much harder and less joyful. Those four years he was in office were very financially painful for my family, and were later rectified by Ronald Reagan's term.But what I don't
