Lieberman said that the Virginia and New York races weren't that big a deal, but if Corzine lost New Jersey, the Democrats were in trouble.  It wasn't too long after that, that the race was called for Corzine's opponent, Republican Chris Christie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the GOP ended up with a lot of victories last night, enough to call it a &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_election_rdp"&gt;GOP Sweep&lt;/a&gt;.  Two big Governor victories in &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_election_rdp"&gt;Virginia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://wcbstv.com/breakingnewsalerts/chris.christie.nj.2.1290144.html"&gt;New Jersey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supposedly, &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/11/obama-not-watching-the-results-tonight/"&gt;Obama wasn't watching the results&lt;/a&gt;.  Of course, that may be true, he may have known that news was going to be bad and didn't want to watch the depressing news.  Anyway you look at it, its &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/03/gop-gains-hurt-obama-capital-agenda/"&gt;not good news for Obama&lt;/a&gt;, no matter how his people will try to spin it.

It wasn't because of the spectacular trees, although, they were impressed.  It was because we got to see 5 bears up close in the wild.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, 2 hikers had been missing for over a week and were found on the day we visited.  I bought local newspapers on the trip, whenever I got a chance, and I had read about the missing hikers that morning.  During the day, we saw the rescue helicopter, and that night on the news we saw that they had been found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_SiT86BgI/AAAAAAAACvw/pKK6NYNmbAw/s1600-h/121.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_SiT86BgI/AAAAAAAACvw/pKK6NYNmbAw/s400/121.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399765965153633794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_SujT9SII/AAAAAAAACv4/EOY2tW19eeE/s1600-h/122.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_SujT9SII/AAAAAAAACv4/EOY2tW19eeE/s400/122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399766175435278466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_UVMyb6SI/AAAAAAAACwY/WnPykjCHXRI/s1600-h/394.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_UVMyb6SI/AAAAAAAACwY/WnPykjCHXRI/s400/394.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399767938915625250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started out at a Visitor's center, and then made our way to "The Sentinel Tree".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we made our way to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moro_Rock"&gt;Moro Rock&lt;/a&gt;.  My parents and the kids and I started up the 400-step stairway to the top.  The older 3 kids sped ahead with my Dad.  My Mom was walking slowly and my youngest son and I were taking each turn as it came.  I finally got to a certain part, and in my mind I knew I wasn't going up any higher.  At the same time, my son said he was ready to head back down, so it worked out well ;-).  The older kids and my Dad made it to the top.  They were literally in the clouds, and the view was wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_WBZcisxI/AAAAAAAACwo/HU5iE2yyf9o/s1600-h/141.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_WBZcisxI/AAAAAAAACwo/HU5iE2yyf9o/s400/141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399769797739328274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_TO7GCseI/AAAAAAAACwA/5V92Cqw1P1s/s1600-h/147.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_TO7GCseI/AAAAAAAACwA/5V92Cqw1P1s/s400/147.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399766731575177698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its amazing when you see people, or even a vehicle next to the trees.  It gives you some perspective on how awesome they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then headed to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Sherman_(tree)"&gt;"General Sherman"&lt;/a&gt;, which is the biggest living thing in the world.

The kids had run ahead, which we heard many times later at that park and others, "children should not run ahead because of bears and mountain lions, etc..".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bears were completely oblivious to the fact that we were there.  Before we arrived, we found out that a Mama Brown Bear had gotten into a spat with a Black Bear because the black bear had gotten too close to her cubs.  Mama Bear had 2 cubs and she was way up in a tree whipping down pine cones to them.  There was also another brown bear on the scene.  It was amazing how close we were to them.  My Dad worked for the U.S. Forest Service his whole life and this was his first time seeing bears in the wild.  It was a sight to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made sure I was close to my kids and after awhile we figured we shouldn't tempt fate anymore, and we left. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Basic Sequoia National Park facts:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;--There are 388 National Park Areas in the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;--Sequoia National Park was created in 1890&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir"&gt;John Muir&lt;/a&gt; was instrumental in protecting/preserving this park as well as Yosemite and others&lt;br /&gt;--It is located in Central California&lt;br /&gt;--It is high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range&lt;br /&gt;--It is famous for having some of the biggest trees in the world&lt;br /&gt;--There are 2 surviving kinds of Sequoia trees--the redwood &amp; the giant sequoia&lt;br /&gt;--The Sequoias can live for more than 3,000 years, in part because they are fire-resistant&lt;br /&gt;--There are about 30 Sequoia groves at the park&lt;br /&gt;--One of the largest is the "Giant Forest"&lt;br /&gt;--The "General Sherman" tree is located in the Giant Forest, it is named after the famous Civil War general and the tree is the BIGGEST living thing in the WORLD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Resources:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://www.heinemannlibrary.com/product/9781403477989"&gt;Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9781568460550-Sequoias+Images+Series"&gt;Sequoias&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10727883-217046589177466093?l=chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/217046589177466093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/217046589177466093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/11/trip-post-2-sequoia-national-park.html' title='Trip Post 2--Sequoia National Park!'/><author><name>Dee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020</uri><email>chatterboxchronicles@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06558433320271188935'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Su_LXJGoMpI/AAAAAAAACvo/tR-g0H3n4-Q/s72-c/373.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727883.post-386626725473530037</id><published>2009-11-02T00:01:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T00:29:29.338-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radio show'/><title type='text'>November 2nd Edition of Conservatism With Heart!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aee6a36623a01ae/4ad1c89625c14663/a6373446/-cpid/690f40c0355b86d5" id="W4727a250e66f97234aee6a36623a01ae" width="384" height="283"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aee6a36623a01ae/4ad1c89625c14663/a6373446/-cpid/690f40c0355b86d5" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;LIVE TODAY at 9:00-10:00 am CST!!

I went with my parents and my kids.  We survived the thousands of miles of car travel, fast food and motels.  My Grandmother was turning 90 and she lives in Washington.  So, on the way to Washington for her 90th Birthday party we stopped off at some sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the &lt;a href="http://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm"&gt;Grand Canyon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.visitsequoia.com/destination.aspx"&gt;Sequoia National Park&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.nationalparkreservations.com/info/yosemite/index.php?gclid=CPrp36jQ4Z0CFQYMDQod4W3xCg"&gt;Yosemite&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.nps.gov/redw/index.htm"&gt;Redwoods National Park&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.nps.gov/moru/index.htm"&gt;Mt. Rushmore&lt;/a&gt;.  I decided to do a post on each site so I could post pictures on each one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had never been to the Grand Canyon so, I was pretty excited about seeing it.  We were fortunate that we had good weather at every park we went to.  It was a little chilly at the Grand Canyon, but the skies were clear.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was amazed and somewhat concerned about how close to the edge you were able to get at certain places.  I was especially nervous having all of my kids with me.  My youngest made a big deal when he turned 9 that he was too old for me to hold his hand anymore.  Not only did he make an exception at the Grand Canyon, but he told me that if &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"I wasn't holding his hand, he might faint."&lt;/span&gt;  It was very cute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since, I homeschool this trip automatically gets turned into an educational field trip ;-).  My 15 year old daughter lamented about this.  Yet, I enjoyed learning along with my youngest from all the different books we read on the different parks.  Below are just a few things that I learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Basic Grand Canyon facts: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;--Became a national park in 1919&lt;br /&gt;--Its located in Northwestern Arizona&lt;br /&gt;--It is 277 miles long&lt;br /&gt;--5 million people visit the park each year&lt;br /&gt;--90% of those people see the canyon from the South Rim&lt;br /&gt;--It takes 5 hours by car to get to the North Rim, so fewer people see it from there&lt;br /&gt;--You can hike or take a mule train to get to the bottom of the canyon&lt;br /&gt;--The Colorado River flows through it (some take rafting trips down it)&lt;br /&gt;--Major John Powell lead an expedition through the Canyon in 1869&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Plants &amp; animals that we saw:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;--Yucca plant&lt;br /&gt;--Ravens&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Resources:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://finleyholiday.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=44"&gt;Grand Canyon for kids!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwork/9442535/used/Welcome%20to%20Grand%20Canyon%20National%20Park"&gt;Welcome to Grand Canyon National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=mVRa0CW1i_AC&amp;dq=exploring+canyons+by+melody+s.+mis&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=kJGGUhup4X&amp;sig=a0QzGTZNtREaem3Rctqj3XPr4OE&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=N0DpSvmpGNOj8Qad25mLDw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CBMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false"&gt;Exploring Canyons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://newarrivals.nlb.gov.sg/itemdetail.aspx?bid=12766251"&gt;Grand Canyon National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;a href="http://www.flipkart.com/grand-canyon-national-park-margaret/1403466998-xnx3fkflcc"&gt;Grand Canyon National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10727883-7181461705121155806?l=chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/7181461705121155806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/7181461705121155806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/trip-post-1-grand-canyon.html' title='Trip Post 1--Grand Canyon!'/><author><name>Dee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020</uri><email>chatterboxchronicles@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06558433320271188935'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/SukswXHsfQI/AAAAAAAACvI/HHutAaOb6fo/s72-c/352.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727883.post-5807120373854818704</id><published>2009-10-10T23:45:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-10T23:56:40.466-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Headed Out West!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/StFj6QEN5yI/AAAAAAAACuI/lIQMEPwuaIc/s1600-h/SydneyOutofTown.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/StFj6QEN5yI/AAAAAAAACuI/lIQMEPwuaIc/s400/SydneyOutofTown.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391200081335412514" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Grandmother is turning 90, so I, along with some family are headed out West to see her and some sites along the way!

If you need a laugh today, then this should do it!!! A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. This is amazing and brought tears of laughter to my eyes. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Through the eyes of a child: The Children’s Bible in a Nutshell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, ‘The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, God said, ‘Give me a light!’ and someone did. Then God made the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He split Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t embarrassed because mirrors hadn’t been invented yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden…..Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn’t have cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty soon, all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah who lived to be like a million or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Noah, came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh’s people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include: don’t lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or your neighbor’s stuff. Oh yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Moses’ best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Joshua, came David. He got to be a king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon, who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn’t sound very wise to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Solomon, there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don’t have to worry about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, ‘Close the door! Were you born in a barn?’ It would be nice to say, ‘As a matter of fact, I was.’)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius, the Pilot. Pilot didn’t stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10727883-5230576657075345115?l=chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/5230576657075345115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10727883/posts/default/5230576657075345115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/childrens-bible-in-nutshell.html' title='The Children’s Bible in a Nutshell!'/><author><name>Dee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020</uri><email>chatterboxchronicles@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06558433320271188935'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Ss79FdeCMPI/AAAAAAAACto/H8HipnthOYw/s72-c/gmChildrenPress.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727883.post-5742604595257710541</id><published>2009-10-07T01:17:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-07T01:41:44.139-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tax Day Tea Party'/><title type='text'>Open Mic Tea Party--October 10th!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Sswz0WUwAFI/AAAAAAAACtg/5tCfwXhlrnM/s1600-h/TeaParty10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RaRg5_v_Eus/Sswz0WUwAFI/AAAAAAAACtg/5tCfwXhlrnM/s400/TeaParty10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389739828494467154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April 15th, approximately 5,000 of us showed up at our &lt;a href="http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/04/kansas-city-tax-day-tea-party-rocked.html"&gt;KC Tea Party&lt;/a&gt; at Liberty Memorial.

Rathke admits that he was mentored by &lt;a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1769"&gt;George Wiley&lt;/a&gt; who ran the group, National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO).  NWRO's goal was to: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"...organize welfare recipients into a political force.

Roman Polanski drugged and violently raped a 13 year old girl when he was 44 years old.  Yet, somehow, because he is a Hollywood Film Director and because it happened 30 years ago, there are those that don't think he should serve any jail time for his crime.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sean Hannity read a &lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/polanski_crime_worse_than_peop.html"&gt;transcript&lt;/a&gt; from the case on the air yesterday and it was horrifying.  To this day, Polanski still doesn't see that he did anything wrong.  So, since he was a coward and fled the country and since he's loved by hollywood, he should be let free is the justification being made by many.

As far as I'm concerned, he's not too far off.  &lt;a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_092309/content/01125106.guest.html"&gt;Rush Limbaugh&lt;/a&gt; said that &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/gaddafi-obama-should-be-president.html"&gt;Gaddafi's speech&lt;/a&gt; looked like a scene straight out of the Star Wars bar scene, and he was exactly right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Yet, it was Obama's speech that was the most offensive to me as an American.  For the first time, I wasn't proud of my President.  Well, I guess thats not true.  I did live through the Clinton years after all, but its close.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama hit the Trifecta with his speech by going after the U.S., Israel and Bush!  He &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/stunner-obama-apologizes-for-america.html"&gt;bashed his own country&lt;/a&gt; and committed what I agree was a &lt;a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15026"&gt;"brutal betrayal"&lt;/a&gt;.  The more I heard of his speech, the higher my blood pressure went.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if that weren't enough, he decided to throw &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-attacks-israel-at-un-general.html"&gt;Israel under the bus&lt;/a&gt; as well.  It only makes sense to attack the only democracy in the Middle East, and one of our few allies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, no speech is ever done until &lt;a href="http://hammeringsparksfromtheanvil.blogspot.com/2009/09/president-obamas-un-speech-im-not.html"&gt;we've bashed Bush&lt;/a&gt;.  It never surprises me when dictators, madmen and your average liberal attacks Bush, but the current U.S. President to the UN?  Say what you will about W, but he never, ever took potshots at Clinton and he had plenty of opportunities to do so, and plenty of material to work with.  I guess thats the difference between a man that has class, and one that doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oNBKEI7Chn4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oNBKEI7Chn4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="325" height="244"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As John Bolton said, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Obama's speech was "Wilsonian" and extremely "naive", he "thinks the UN is going to solve the world's problems."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href="http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/09/sarah-palins-speech-in-asia.html"&gt;Sarah Palin was in Hong Kong&lt;/a&gt; actually making sense and &lt;a href="http://bornagainredneck.blogspot.com/2009/09/barracuda-in-hong-kong-commonsense.html"&gt;defending our country&lt;/a&gt;.

I can't wait for her books to hit the shelves, and hopefully she comes to KC for her book tour.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She couldn't be more right about not abandoning Afghanistan.  Obama wanted to follow a different course in Afghanistan this past March.  Now, as things aren't going the way he planned, &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/21/AR2009092103086.html"&gt;he's wavering&lt;/a&gt; and thinking about pulling out instead of listening to HIS general and putting in more troops.  Rice's words couldn't be more clear:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"The last time we left Afghanistan, and we abandoned Pakistan," she said, "that territory became the very territory on which Al Qaeda trained and attacked us on September 11th. So our national security interests are very much tied up in not letting Afghanistan fail again and become a safe haven for terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's that simple," she declared, "if you want another terrorist attack in the U.S., abandon Afghanistan."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Also, I'm not alone in being a fan of Condi Rice.

Especially, those of us in Missouri where Acorn has had some major problems with &lt;a href="http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/10/acornvoter-fraud.html"&gt;Voter Registration Fraud&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats have been in denial, insisting that Acorn helps out the poor.  The problem is, it seems that while Acorn was SUPPOSED to be helping the poor, they were actually victimizing them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://foxnews1.a.mms.mavenapps.net/mms/rt/1/site/foxnews1-foxnews-pub01-live/current/largeplayer011008/fncLargePlayer/client/embedded/embedded.swf' id='mediumFlashEmbedded' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' bgcolor='#000000' allowScriptAccess='always' allowFullScreen='true' quality='high' name='undefined' play='false' scale='noscale' menu='false' salign='LT' scriptAccess='always' wmode='false' height='275' width='305' flashvars='playerId=011008&amp;playerTemplateId=fncLargePlayer&amp;categoryTitle=&amp;referralObject=9447827&amp;referralPlaylistId=playlist' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Glenn Beck's show the other night he pointed out the glaring difference in how the networks were covering the &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/big-government-posts-latest-acorn.html"&gt;Acorn scandal&lt;/a&gt;.

I think Carter wins the prize on being the most offensive ex-president, which is surprising considering Bill Clinton is still living.  Yet, every time you turn around Carter is appeasing a dictator, displaying his blatant anti-semitism or being a &lt;a href="http://chatterboxchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/04/jimmy-carter-emissary-of-evil.html"&gt;notorious terrorism-enabler&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, he has to jump on the bandwagon and declare that if anyone &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/americas-worst-president-claims-racist.html"&gt;disagrees&lt;/a&gt; with Obama, that makes them racist.  Its a no win situation.  We aren't allowed to say anything to oppose Obama's policies, without being labeled a racist according to &lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2009/09/12/maher-charges-racism-fuels-disrespect-obama-sees-subliminal-racism-drud"&gt;Bill Maher&lt;/a&gt; and now &lt;a href="http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/09/video-jimmy-carter-there-is-racist-tone.html"&gt;Jimmy Carter&lt;/a&gt;.

Swayze fought the deadly cancer and continued acting and living life, but unfortunately, &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_swayze"&gt;lost his battle with cancer&lt;/a&gt; yesterday at the age of 57.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,550188,00.html"&gt;Dr. Jeffrey Hardacre&lt;/a&gt; told Fox News that Swayze defied the odds because most people that are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer only live 3-6 months, and Swayze lived for over a year and a half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think many viewed Swayze as one of the &lt;a href="http://politikditto.blogspot.com/2009/09/patrick-swayze-rip.html"&gt;"good guys"&lt;/a&gt; in Hollywood.

And as Patrick points out, &lt;a href="http://bornagainredneck.blogspot.com/2009/09/sentenced-to-death-by-socialized.html"&gt;I don't need some government bureaucracy deciding the timing and manner of my death.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/09/levi-liar.html"&gt;2) Levi Johnston continues his smears and lies about Sarah Palin&lt;/a&gt;--Basically, when Levi told the truth about the Palin family, it wasn't what the Drive By Media wanted to hear, so it didn't make him any money.  It sickens me though, how willing he is to throw his child's extended family under the bus for 5 minutes of fame and money.  As &lt;a href="http://politikditto.blogspot.com/2009/09/levi-johnston-continues-bitterness-for.html"&gt;GG points out&lt;/a&gt;, the left will exploit him like they have Meghan McCain and then spit him out when they are done.  Despicable and disgusting!!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3) Speaking of throwing people under the bus,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://politikditto.blogspot.com/2009/09/former-ag-coward-alberto-gonzales.html"&gt;Alberto Gonzales betrays the loyalty shown him by George W. Bush and Supports the CIA Interrogation Probe&lt;/a&gt;--What is wrong with Gonzales?  He has been called &lt;a href="http://bornagainredneck.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-always-knew-that-gonzales-was-weasel.html"&gt;a weasel&lt;/a&gt;, coward and a loser for doing this.

Yet, the hypocritical Drive by Media never apply the same standards to the liberals as they do to conservatives.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ari gives them a taste of their own medicine by throwing Keith Olbermann under the bus and he leaves both of Olbermann's colleagues speechless.
