Here's what I love about living in America


Posted: Jan 5, 2011

Whatever side of the aisle you're on, today was a perfect example of why this country is so great - the peaceful and respectful transfer of power.  I'm reminded of this every time there is a swearing in - felt the same way when Obama was sworn in as President and Bush waved as he got on the plane to leave DC.  We are so lucky to live in a country where this can happen without the threat of people getting killed and riots in the streets.  I know the peaceful and respectful part won't last past today, but for that one day, it's really moving and makes me proud.

Your's is one of the nicest posts I have ever read on this board. - Thank you. NM

Tea Party Republicans Love Love Love Ted CruzOct 18, 2013
even among Republicans, according to a survey from Pew Research. But the group is still potent within the Republican Party — which means that Sen. Ted Cruz gets a bit of good news on an otherwise bleak day. "Tea Party" is a necessarily vague affiliation. There are members of Tea Party groups, of course, but Pew largely had to allow poll respondents to self identify. And a lot of Republicans did so. About four-in-ten (41%) Republicans and Republican leaners agree with the Tea Pa ...

Do You Ever Feel Like You Are Living In Another LifeAug 05, 2011
Okay, before anyone replies with "you're the only one who can change things" or anything like that, I know that already.  I know not to be living in a dream world, be grateful for what I have, etc.  I know all that stuff.  I'm just wondering if there are other people who feel like they are living in a different life they are not meant to be in.  I don't know how to describe it.  I feel like I'm in limbo or something.  I was pulling up some differ ...

Anybody Coping With Living With A Parent With Alzheimer's?Jun 28, 2013
I moved mom in with me about a month ago.  I work second shift full time in my home.  Even before I moved mom in, I would see her daily in her home, see she was eating properly, setting her pills out, etc.  She recently had cataract surgery and recovered fine.  We've put her home up for sale and she's none too pleased but I thought she would adjust to living with me.  Our homes are similar, and I made her bedroom in my own look exactly like hers, bath ...

"According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn’t fall into line. Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.” They are “threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?” asked the Senate ...

During her time at a number of centers across the country, she said she discovered Muslim refugees preaching “pure ...

This is an attempt to trump Trump.  Trump and others have accused him of being too calm and too soft-spoken, so he is trying to prove and remind people that he has had a temper in the past --- perhaps before anti-anxiolytics?   Please, people, you must go with Rubio.  Will the Republican party wake up and realize the joke is on them soon enough.  The pathology of the Trump and Carson phenom must be revealed. ...

One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand ...

I have read and heard some parts of the book and let me tell you, it is sound, truly believable, and well, scary. It put me in the "know" about what is going on in our world today. I have to admit, I am mad, but I have come to the conclusion that I must not get this way. Who wants to feel this way after r ...
