A group for all those who dislikes war

Do you dislike war?
Then this is the very right group for you!
I think the recent flap over the recent nominee to the Supreme court, Sonia Sotomayor, has to do with the lack of understanding of the decision process. Most Americans do not create a decision tree to examine their choices before making a decision, or choice. However, a Federal Judge, or a Supreme Court Jurist would have to consider all the parameters of their decision before making their decision.
Furthermore, I believe that Justice Sotomayor was relating to the process she uses to evolve her decisions as appropriately as conceivably possible to the needs of the society in which she represents. Her life history will allow her to think of other criteria in which a white male may not consider when assessing the facts of a legal case.
Justice Sotomayor is absolutely correct in relating to her individual history in assisting her dissemination of facts related to her decision making process.
I believe that this is the message that needs to come out of the White House regarding their excellent choice for the Supreme court.

There are many things that have been screwed up over the last eight years by Cheney, Bush and their storm-troopers. Of this there can be doubt. The list would be long and unnecessary to write.
But the biggest problem that has to be addressed right now is to get this economy moving! The ONLY problems that I am having with the stimulus bills is EVERYTHING that has nothing to do with stimulating the economy! There will be other days for other fights over education, and condoms, and the like. THIS ISN'T THE TIME!
Our Democratic leaders are giving......again......the Republicans the exact ammuntion that they need to pound us with in 2010. Not that I call 'pork' what the Republicans do. BUT to the MILLIONS that wanted change and NEEDED help......PERCEPTION is the key. If it isn't going to help them KEEP THEIR HOME, or help THEM keep THEIR JOB....it is going to be seen as PORK....at least in THIS bill!!
Pelosi and Reid need to step up and realize that we CANNOT fix everything in ONE BILL!
Pick your fights, Congressional Dems......pick them carefully and you shall be successful! Pick them poorly...like this....and you shall be looking for jobs before long and you will dooming President Obama's presidency to a single term.
DON'T GET GREEDY!! GET TO WORK FOR AMERICA!!!
That IS why you were put there, you know.

I booked my tickets and hotel for January 19-25th-- Am taking my daughter! Would love to meet up with others from my PB "family"...

Not too long ago, for the first time I stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and looked out over the reflecting pool, thinking of what Dr. Martin Luther King must have been thinking as he told hundreds of thousands of Americans about his 'dream' for our country. I stood there completely engrossed in my thoughts, as I remembered listening to him and how inspiring he was. And there was never more of a 'son-of-the-Confereracy' than me. I am very proud of my ancestors sacrifices not only during The Civil War, but also during The American Revolution and The Texas Revolution.
But I have never been MORE proud than I am tonight. A little more than 140 years after the end of the Civil War, I watched an African-American become the 44th President of The United States of America. When I was growing up in the 1960's, nothing of this sort was even dared to be dreamed of.
But truly, it has been proven tonight that ANYONE REALLY CAN BECOME PRESIDENT. The election of Barack Obama to the presidency is not only an achievement for the African-American youth of this country....but for ALL of America's youth!
I was so wishing that Daddy had lived to see this. I have been sad when he wasn't around to see the Berlin Wall felled and the end of the Cold War and the Soviet Union. But THIS? The man who made me into the Democrat AND the American that I am, would have loved to have seen this moment. But I also believe that he, Dr. King, LBJ, JFK and RFK, along with so many that have gone before, are looking down and smiling right now.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
And GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA, 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

As I was watching President Clinton campaigning in Florida for Barack Obama, I was seriously awe struck.
Two of the greatest political minds and two of the greatest political orators in a generation...speaking intelligently about, not only the plight of America, but also in the future of our country and the world. And what it would take to pull America back up within the world community as THE leader for democracy and freedom. The shining beacon of hope for the downtrodden within not only our society, but worldwide.
And then I got to thinking about the last eight years. A president of shallow character, even shallower thinking and with absolutely no ability to see the American people as the backbone of everything that makes The United States of America great! A 'leader' who never lead....only followed. A president who put us in the international 'backseat' of concern for others. A commander-in-chief who became the biggest terrorist, torturer and mass murderer since the fall of 'Iron Curtain' in Europe. A man who indiscremently ordered the killing of thousands of innocent Iraqis under the guise of 'freeing' them.
After which I realized just how great this country is, and how resilient The Founding Fathers so aptly created this experiment, that we could come thru such horrible times as "The W Years", and still be able to find public servants like Barack Obama that has the brains and compassion and GUTS to take on such a mess, and to do it with such calming and precise reasoning and thinking.
God Bless America..............

Elizabeth Dole calls her opponent, former Sunday school teacher, Kay Haggen "godless" CNN says that the Dole campaign contacted the person who is in charge of McCain's advertising in desperation. This is the ad they came up with: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/29/dole-ad-fabricates-audio_n_138874.html
Shame on you Elizabeth!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!

for Obama!! She has lived through 3 centuries... This is a remarkable and heartwarming story: http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/10/27/1027jones.html
Well, he DID spend several years living in the same area with some of the most ruthless terrorists in history.....
Maybe Senator McCain should have to answer for his 'record'.
Yeah, it is as stupid a thing that you can think of.
And THIS is the kind of campaign that some people want from THEIR candidate for president?
Thank God that Barack Obama and Democrats like most of us, don't believe that using old connections to throw fear into the hearts of Americans is a legitimate way to oppose someone elses candidacy.
Seems John McCain has learned well from the Bush Administration as to how to attempt to govern from a state of FEAR instead of HOPE!
Unfortunately for McCain, the 'fear card' has worn out on most Americans.....

This was sent to me from my Twit friends... I think the word of this incident needs to get out so that the North Carolina police don't just sweep this under the carpet.... These people need to be prosecuted for hate crimes-- People need to know that this WILL NOT be tolerated in OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Watch the video of Michelle Bachmann's interview on Hardball as she calls Senator Obama "Anti-American" and links "liberal left-wing politicians" to "anti American" activities...
She basically says that if you aren't republican than you are "anti American"... I just donated to her opponents campaign... I was so appalled at this woman's comments that I just couldn't just sit there-- I had to open up my empty wallet and give another $20.00 to help rid the congress of this piece of trash!!! She will do NOTHING to unite this country during these hard times when we all need to work together... She needs to ride off on her broom to the land of congressional members with NO ethics!! Below is my letter to her opponent:
Dear Mr. Elwyn Tinklenberg,
My name is Gretchen and I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife, mother of 5 and grandmother, from Washington State. I just donated to your campaign. I just listened to your opponent’s terrible comments about Barack Obama and felt the need to contribute to your campaign. We don't need politicians in Washington D.C. that illicit this type of hate. We need people who will address the issues that we all are facing in these difficult times. A Republican, Colin Powell said it best today, when he stated how disappointed he was with this type of campaign-- one that distracts us from the real issues that hard-working Americans are facing on a daily basis. We will ALL need to work hard to restore our country back to the strong nation it once was-- Your opponent’s words/beliefs will prevent this from happening. Best wishes to you and to the people of Minnesota from Washington State!!! Gretchen
