Enjoying the heck out of being alive.
Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.
Don't die with the music still in you.
We teach people how we choose to be treated.
You can't always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on in the inside.
The more you attach your value and humanity to those things outside yourself, the more you give those things the power to control you.
You become what you think about.

Poll Shows Republicans Believing ACORN Stole Preside... Poll Shows Republicans Believing ACORN Stole Presidential Election (more)

" Public Policy Polling released this shocking nugget on its blog: "a 52% majority of GOP voters nationally think that ACORN stole the Presidential election for Barack Obama last year, with only 27% granting that he won it legitimately." Say what? More than half of Republican respondents believe the president was elected fraudulently! That's a stunningly high number. It's disturbing, not only as a demonstrable lack of faith in America's democracy but as an expression of wanton ignorance. Worse, it illustrates the effectiveness of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, et al., alongside a well-funded "Stop ACORN" campaign, in creating an atmosphere where unquestioned lies become received wisdom.
Barack Obama won the election by an easy margin. In the end, it wasn't even close. John McCain knew that and delivered his concession speech before 9:30 p.m. Obama didn't just win in the urban areas where ACORN could actually be seen as a force—and which would likely have voted for him regardless of ACORN's participation. He won in places like North Carolina, where ACORN had just eight staffers. There's been no formal challenge to the electoral validity of the votes.There's simply no proof to back up claims that ACORN tampered with ballots. But there is evidence of irresponsible reporting catalyzing misguided fears." (more) -

It was all over the news that Obama had simply asked for Congress to hold off until the investigation was finished. I swear, just like Faux Snooze, he picks words out of news stories, edits them together until they say what is wants them to say. He is always so each to see through (except for all his fat.) (more)

It's their Constitutional right. Other teachers would put kids on suspension because the kids refused to stand. I always told them that the only thing they had to do was sit quietly and not interfere with those who choose to stand and say the pledge.
" It is my understanding that a Supreme Court case now prohibits public schools from requiring students to pledge allegiance to the flag. This case was West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943), and you can link to it on our Big List of Supreme Court Cases from Baylor University, under "Free Exercise Cases" in the sub-category of "Jehovah's Witnesses Cases." The last time I checked, the links still worked, and this link worked when I checked it today. If you ever forget where this list is, it is linked from our Big List of Quotations on the Court Cases page.
This case came about when the Jehovah's Witnesses decided that to salute the flag was the equivalent of bowing down to idols. The pointed to a Bible passage which prohibited Jews from honoring, among other things, "ensigns" (flags). Whatever their argument may have been is irrelevant: if they say that their religion forbids members from saluting the flag, then the government may not require them to salute the flag. This is very clear. Why there was even a controversy, much less a Supreme Court case, shows only the extent to which religious bigotry can destroy the lives of people who do not toe the party line of the majority.
The bottom line is that if the Supreme Court rules that the Jehovah's Witnesses may avoid saluting the flag on religious grounds, you may do likewise for similar reasons. Therefore, any law requiring you to salute the flag does not apply. In other words, any such law would be nullified as an illegal law. (more) -

I read about your love of horses. I have loved them all my life too. My neighbors had some when I was growing up so I got to be around them and always loved them. I miss that horse smell! Horses are cool. I used to pray for a horse every night wen I was a kid. That was how much I wanted one. Sorry you lost your horses. I hope you get another one.
Ruby Slip...
Hi Doodlebug. Nice to know you.
CaliGurl ...
Yes, I get blocked by the haters because they can't handle the truth or they don't appreciate kindness. I never stoop to their level of hatred and insults, and I never post lies. But, for some reason... blocked! They only want to hear from the people that agree with them (I wonder why they're on an opinion site). That's very anti-American.
I'm glad we're friends, Doodlebug!
Doodlebug
Thanks for the nice comment. It's nice to find someone of like minds. I've been blocked by so many! ; )

You are very wise. In order to maintain any sanity on SH, it is wise to give your opinion and walk away.

I'm more easily irritated, I guess. i WON'T block unless someone actually starts insulting me in a personal way. Unfortunately, when it comes to politics, they are almost ALWAYS really nasty. If they can argue without the insults i will stay with them. LOL! I guess I get 3 MERIT BADGES, then!!!
Piwan
HI DOODLE, Piwan here just to ask a question. Since you and I seem to be of the same political beliefs, have you been blocked because of it, and if so, how many times? Just in the last week i got blocked twice,so my total for being blocked is 3. First 2 times were because i insulted Bush, last time because they put up a very biased poll about Liberals and Democrats, and I told the "author" flat out the comments were BULLSHIT, and that they were right-wing propaganda. She made a response and then blocked me. I took pride in the fact that i was only blocked by 1. It shouldn't bug me because all three of these people were idiots. So I was just curios if that has happened to you? I admit, i have blocked quite a few, but ONLY the ones that get personally insulting.
