What Difference did She Make?

Is the world a safer place?  Or are more American arms falling into the hands of terrorists?

Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi.

Name one thing this Secretary of State did for America…

Enjoy!

Here’s hoping your celebrations were as you wanted them and safe.

Now that you’ve had your rest,  how can we continue to expose these f***** who have taken over our country? ?

Occupy Wall Street Open Thread–update

The OWS hustler’s origin defined:

Open thread.

Update.  As promised, I infiltrated an OWS organizing meeting here in my city about a week ago, to learn their tactics, targets and philosophy.  They used Trayvon Martin to indicate how a single event can act as a catalyst for all kinds of action, and insisted that our country was a democracy.  As such, because of majority rule, the OWS believes it is entitled to that which the “1%” own whether OWS earned it or not.  Easy to see why they call themselves the 99% then, they want your stuff.  They specifically are targeting the Tea Party and ‘through non-violence, hope to provoke the Tea Party into violence’.  The concept of ‘servant government’ was viewed as an OWS innovation, rather than our republic’s design.  When queried as to why they believe we are a democracy, the response was ‘that is not a fair question’.  My overall impression is that this is a movement devoid of human dignity, God, and any respect for our Constitution or Founding fathers.  The want to ‘blame’ their failure on–as Bill Whittle says above–a bunch of old dead white guys.  The entire movement meeting did not have one person of color in the meeting. The dream I had that night was of Satan telling me in no uncertain terms he was going to kill me.  I didn’t take it personally–Satan wants us all dead, including the OWSers, who he is using to accomplish his unholy work.

Caption Contest-Wookies!

Since we started talking about taxes again…wordpress has been kind of acting up.  I thought I’d give them a break and offer instead a caption contest for the First Wookies.

First, the model wookie:

Now the first and second imposter wookies:

Are they related? Whose first? Whose second?

Don’t forget we have this model for reference as well:

After your caption, this is an open thread!  

“None but Ourselves”

©2011 drkate

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fullfil the book.

Open thread…what’s going on out there?

Americans Love America

…and know she is a work in progress, borne of a timeless ideal of liberty…

I am preparing a long post on the Kerchner case–and pause this evening to share with you a song which came to mind as I thank Americans and thank our Creator-God for the love shown on Tuesday November 2, 2010.  Expecting no favor, such grace provides shelter, a time to regroup after the first ambush unfolded quickly before our eyes.

Tuck and Patti are long ago acquaintances–you remember those days of following bands around?   Their music travels beyond the love they have for each other, a small way to celebrate the victories across our nation Tuesday:

“Let all the Dreamers Wake the Nation”

Let the river run, let all the dreamers wake the nation….come the new Jerusalem…

Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song

It’s asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We’re coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
