It takes everyone liberal and conservative to run the politics of the engine we call America! Patrotic American warriors defend with their life the right of pacifists to hold the wrong opinions. The Blogmaster harbors some populist ideas and believes in free enterprise as opposed to corporate monopoly capitalism. This is a mostly GOP friendly blog. jdm
Reprint from Mark Shannon...
The Democrat-controlled Congress of The United States with the passage Thursday by the Senate of an Iraq spending bill, became the first Congress in the history of this country to vote for the United States to surrender and lose a war still in progress.
Thankfully, for the United States, we still have a President who has the power to override this sellout of our troops in the field, though not even the President can fix the devastating blow to our military's morale this is bound have

Other papers that are expected to report small advances (or at least down less than 1%) in daily circulation, according to the same sources, include: The Charlotte Observer, The Denver Post, The San Antonio Express-News, the combined circulation of The Salt Lake Tribune and The Deseret Morning News, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the St. Petersburg Times, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, and The Oklahoman.

In an Audit Bureau of Circulations to be released in the next month the Daily Oklahoman is expected to show a slight gain in circulation.
Daily Newspapers that have a strong web presence are keeping circulation and advertising. The trend seems to be toward the Internet over the printed word.
NewsOK is the Internet presence for the Daily Oklahoma and News 9 Oklahoma City.
I did a survey in the political news blogs vs the Daily Oklahoman and the five top political blogs in Oklahoma had more combined hits that the Oklahoman. As advertisers become more comfortable with the reliability of hit counters news and political blogs will grab a larger share of the revenue.
A good list of news and views blogs can be found on The McCarville Report
They leave behind a trail of used women: one drowned by a coward at Chappaquiddick, FBI files showing JFK and Bobby involved sexually with Marilyn Monroe and evidence of involvement with her suicide/murder. The family fortune built on illegal smuggling and political insider stock trading. Their name is magic to a non thinking part of our population. The generation now making their rounds of the political feeding trough are out of the same mold as they stink up the halls of congress.
I am not without sin in the Kennedy worship as I was caught up the frenzy of Camelot as a young man in the sixties. I watched on live TV as he was shot dead in Dallas leaving his presidency to a man without any honor at all, Lyndon Johnson. Only later in life as I read the truth about this infamous family did I learn the truth that Camelot was a den of thieves, whore mongers and hedonistic inbred globalists.
From Wikipedai:
The hypothesis of abiogenic petroleum origin posits that most petroleum was formed from deep carbon deposits, perhaps deposits dating to the formation of the Earth. The ubiquity of hydrocarbons in the solar system[citation needed] is taken as evidence that there may be a great deal more petroleum on Earth than commonly thought, and that petroleum may originate from carbon-bearing fluids which migrate upward from the mantle.
Various abiogenic hypotheses were first proposed in the nineteenth century, most notably by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev and the French chemist Marcellin Berthelot. Since that time, these hypotheses have lost ground to the modern scientific consensus that petroleum is a fossil fuel.
These hypotheses saw a revival in the last half of the twentieth century by Russian and Ukrainian scientists, and more interest has been generated in the West after the publication of The Deep Hot Biosphere by Thomas Gold. Gold's version of the hypothesis partly is based on the existence of a biosphere composed of thermophile bacteria in the earth's crust, which may explain the existence of certain biomarkers in extracted petroleum.[1]
Universe abounds in oil dating to the creation.
Faith in a Creator God backed up by inspired writings that have never been found to be flawed in any detail and the personal observation of design in every observable point the the universe from your own body machine to the farthest galaxies should be sufficient proof for all except the most hedonistic intellectual of Him.
The time is now!
How can you set there with that smug look on your face ...
eternity comes fast and you don't know your place ...
Fate is standing in the dark shadows playing to your pride ...
and here you are unconcerned like time was on your side ...
The day will come when your ladder of life has no more rungs ...
and all your choices will expire with the breath in your lungs. ..
The nearest Bible can help you make your choice of eternal habitation ...
for you can find Christ Jesus in every book from Genesis to Revelation. ..

Poem of my youth...composed on October 23, 2006
Tracks of a friend in the snow
I have lain on the path of bone chilling fear ...
watched as the death angel hovered near ...
Midnight I rode the trail where black lion stalked ...
my steed snorting his course stayed.. balked ...
I lost my seat and the moon swirled around ...
my head was the first to kiss frozen ground ...
My body bounced down the Arbuckles crag ...
the earth drank my blood and there I laid ...
and dreamed the dream of death’s opening door ...
of life unlived and path’s untracked with joy untasted ...
my future my claim on living gone as I lay wasted ...
but awareness came as light chased away the night ...
My companion grazed close by had kept the cat away ...
snow tracks around my death bed testified to his stay ...
my shirt red soaked with life’s precious fluid staining the ground ...
I drug my pain racked body to the saddle and started down ...
past the still waiting mountain lion eyes peering from thick weeds ...
the smell of my blood kept him waiting to quench his savage needs ...
I looked back as he smelled my blood spilled in the snow where I lay ...
then followed us for awhile before turning to find unguarded prey ...
Danpatch went to equine heaven during the next season’s winter strife ...
But in my dreams I still count the tracks of my friend who saved my life.

jdm10/23/2006 based on a true occurrence with some literary license applied...My dad was a cowboy and Danpatch had been his favorite horse until he was retired to be my horse. At the time of the poem Danpatch was over twenty years old and I was 12.
Don't Tread on My Flag
We must be very concerned about who we elect as President and Commander in Chief...They must be willing to affirm the Christian roots of this country and the heritage of free enterprise and religious freedom. The must disavow any connection to any other world opinion than one that puts American interests first! They must pledge to never be the instrument of American submission to any authority that subverts the High Law of the Constitution of the United States.At the very least as a potential Commander In Chief of United States Armed Forces they must be able pass and receive a personal Top Secret Clearance background check that we demand of our defenders.God Bless the USA Keep us Free!
