Comment by chergui53 on October 12, 2012 at 5:11pm: Was ready 3.8 years ago! We recently had a wine and Romney party at our house to get people in our neighborhood excited about the election.

Comment by chergui53 on October 12, 2012 at 2:05pm: Yes, despite Biden's lying remarks, smirks, and inappropriate laughing, Paul Ryan did an EXCELLENT job. Let's get the voters out to vote!!! Paul Ryan is an extremely intelligent man and will make a great VP. And, I can't believe the remarks made about the travesty in Benghazi.

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on March 31, 2012 at 8:30am: I was able to take a tour and hear a presentation by the Border Patrol in Texas last month. Scary stuff going on along the border though we've felt safe here. I believe the Border Patrol uses hollow points. The drug cartels are brutal.

Comment by MomByHeart on February 19, 2012 at 12:57am: Love the post, Riri!

Comment by MomByHeart on February 17, 2012 at 12:51am: Thanks, Ruth. I may go ahead and put this on my Kindle for hubby.

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on February 15, 2012 at 8:05pm: It reads like a thriller--I couldn't put it down. I agree--I've known the story since grade school. The beginning of it chronicles the end of the war, battles I didn't know much about though. Since the battles were in Virginia, going to Norfolk will have some side trips next time! It's more than just what happened when--he really gets inside Booth's head and tells the story about the conspiracy. I didn't know others were attacked that night in addition to Lincoln. It actually raises some questions that will probably never be answered about the conspiracy, too.

Comment by MomByHeart on February 15, 2012 at 7:17pm: Ruth...I am interested in reading Killing Lincoln by O'Reilly, but I can't imagine what new info he could have possibly included. If it's the basically the same old stuff, the story I've know since childhood, I don't want to spend the $. What is so different about this book?

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on February 10, 2012 at 10:27pm: Laura, what do you think of Mark Levin's book? I just finished Killling Lincoln which was excellent (Bill O'Reilly), but my favorite is still Being George Washington by Glenn Beck. We flew back to Illinois from our winter Texas home in December for the holidays. Then my dad went into hospice, so I was making the four hour round trip three times a week to see him and my mom. I had the book, but bought the CD to listen to in the car. It was wonderful! I couldn't help but think of my dad, one of the last of the "Greatest Generation." Beck described Washington as "a great man, but also a GOOD man." We have to get our country back to the morals, ethics, and character of good men.

To finish the story about my dad, he died January 14. At his celebration of life, due to miscommunication, there was no flag, but it turned out better than we could have hoped. My son, in uniform, walked to the back of the church and returned with the PGR ride captain and a flag they cut off one of their flag poles used for the flag line. My son folded the flag while the ride captain held it, and then my son presented it to his grandmother with the whole speel of ...on behalf of a grateful nation....My mom just loved it, and everyone cried.

Comment by Tiramisu on December 7, 2011 at 8:22pm: Katynorth: I just saw the cartoons you posted below. I got such a kick out of them! I'm going to print the Dunkin Donuts one and put it in a card to my son. He's a conservative Navy guy who LOVES Dunkin Donuts and politics!. It's really going to give him a smile out there on his ship. He left on his first deployment yesterday...I'm hanging in there, waiting for an e-mail from him...it could be a while.

Comment by momoffour(Ship 11 div 119) on November 14, 2011 at 9:58am: I would pitch one huge fit if i lived in Richmond CA. Nothing surprises me anymore though! Welcome to the group ProudNavyMom! It is soo hard until you get the letters, then you spend your time stalking the letter carrier and running to the mailbox LOL!
