This is a historical time in the USA so watching politics will be interesting for everyone. However the blog reserves the right to go off on tangents, too.Rocquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06504943087536177663noreply@blogger.comBlogger42125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585548506119330861.post-81185922393415091912012-12-09T11:23:00.001-08:002012-12-09T11:23:40.039-08:00

Here is an Abraham Lincoln quote that I found on Google Plus. It sounded so great that I just had to share it for today. Abraham Lincoln completely understood what it takes for the people of a society to live in freedom, with prosperity and true happiness...and so they killed him. -You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. -You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. -You

I got this in an email, and had to share it because here is someone who seems like they stand up for what they believe in. This is probably why he was elected. I do not follow politics in Maine, but it is amazing how someone can say something (well nothing new, I guess), and the media just reports what they want to report to make them look the way the media views them. I decided to look into it

I have been pretty much staying quiet with the election and all, since that can bring out the worst in people and they will tend to leave humor at the door. However someone sent me this YouTube link and I just have to add it here for future generations.

The man was wearing a jacket and a cap that said Iwo Jima on it. I knew my dad was a past president of his American Legion Post so I asked if he knew that man. He said yes he did, and that he did fight on Iwo Jima. I have read books

If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, and saw the condition of the world what would he write about?It is difficult to say what he would be writing about. His famous speech known as the "I Have A Dream" speech has not been a dream come true yet, but it was a starting point for people to realize that all men and women of all colors and ethnic origins should find a way to live in peace

As much as people do not want the US to be one nation under God, I feel that when push comes to shove there are still many people who believe in God and the power of prayer to keep the US a nation under God.This video is one Congressman's view.
