In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
One of the finest verses ever written, imnsho.
Enjoy the whole thing.
My sincere thanks to all men and women who are at work today to defend my freedom. I wish you the best.
Who would have thought that I would be linking to Paris Hilton video? And to think, I think she has done a wonderful job responding to her being dragged into the presidential race. Good job!
I am not a Daily Show viewer, but Jon Stewart nailed the kerfuffle of this week’s New Yorker cover.
Would-be president Barrack Obama stated it’s embarrassing that Americans go to Europe and all they can say is merci beaucoup.
The senator is extremely wrong on this issue. While speaking foreign languages is a fine skill, it is not embarrassing that I don’t. Obama is embarrassed of me and any other American who does not speak a foreign language. I took French my freshman year in high school. I took Latin for a few years. I took Spanish in college. But 20+ years have passed and I am no longer conversant (stated as though I ever was).
The very first foreign words I learned was when I was a young boy . . . so young I still peed the bed. For some reason I spent the night at my aunt and uncle’s house in Easton, PA. My cousins were 10 years or more older than I was. Cousin Sherry apparently was learning French. She taught me a phrase because it was a hoot to have a little boy say it, I am certain. I was a good student as I have not forgotten it.
It seems appropriate to write here. So, Sen. Obama, fermez la bouche.
Remember when New Jerseyans were told we are in tough economic times? Remember how municipal aid was slashed? Hospital subsidies cut? How Gov. Corzine fought for a responsible budget?
The spending spree has begun today. On the heels of commandeering $3.9 billion outside the budget from tax payers, Corzine is set to begin an expansion of state government unseen before.
New Jersey is expanding a government health insurance program to cover more low-income families and provide coverage for all children in the state.
The bill scheduled to be signed today by Gov. Jon Corzine is viewed as the first step toward requiring all New Jerseyans to have health insurance by 2011. It mandates that all children have insurance through government or a private provider within a year.
Got that? Government is mandating health insurance. And what happens if someone cannot afford insurance? That’s right, tax payers will fund it.
While the benevolent among us will state that it is the right thing to do, why should tax payers pick up the tab? This has welfare written all over it. There is no incentive to purchase insurance when one can rely on the government.
This is not the purpose of government, folks.
This new spending will need to be funded. Just where is that money going to come from?
