The Sarah Palin Song

This is a must listen. Yes, there is some swearing so please beware and don’t listen to it if your kids aren’t used to the “f” word. It’s used just a couple of times. Typically on my site here I’d just spell that out, but I am putting this link up on twitter and other places so I don’t want to offend some of my followers. lol Just thinking of your sensibilities on this post alone cause everyone needs to watch it.

Our local tv station had a bunch of different YouTube vids on this morning to lighten our day. Instantly fell in love with this one and had to hear the rest of it. It’s hilarious, but scary at the same time because it is true!

Listen for yourself.

IAFF supports Obama

I will have hubby grab me signs stating this. I will continue to do more research on many topics for and against both sides as I do like to know my facts. But Stop, Drop and Blog put together an incredible post that really sums up some major key factors on how this election can affect our fire dept. families.

Do your research and make an informed vote. Nothing is more scary to me than ignorance.

Why women MUST vote!

I did check this email out on snopes.com when I got it. It had a link at the bottom and I realize that things like this will be both sided because of political reasons. But I honestly (embarrassed to admit) did not know that it was this bad for the first women suffragists. This would have been me back then and I would have gladly gone through anything for us to get the rights we deserve as fellow humans on this earth.

So take into consideration that it is not a chore to vote, it is a right that was fought for and not that long ago either!

THIS VERY MOVING. HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET…..
IF WE EVER KNEW……

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.

Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.

The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote.

(Lucy Burns)
And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden’s blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of ‘obstructing sidewalk traffic.’

(Lucy Burns)
They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air.

(Dora Lewis)
They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.

Thus unfolded the ’Night of Terror’ on Nov. 15, 1917, when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson’s White House for the right to vote. For weeks, the women’s only water came from an open pail. Their food-all of it colorless slop-was infested with worms.

(Alice Paul)
When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press.

So, refresh my memory. Some women won’t vote this year because- -why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? Our vote doesn’t matter? It’s raining?

It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn’t make her crazy.

The doctor admonished the men: ‘Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.’
Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know.

We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republican or independent party – remember to vote.

History is being made!

Oh boy palin/mccain

Well, it is going to get political. Mostly because I’m so sad at the way this country has gone. I’m sad at the ignorance. I’m sad that those in the GOD DAMNED, yes, you bible belters are damned by God for not actually following how God would want you to live (hypocritical pieces of bible thumping crap!) bible belt are too stupid to think for yourself. You go to your churches and they tell you to vote republican, or vote for this candidate. Do you research? Nope, you just vote because that person is anti-abortion and that is the only thing that matters. No worries about the fact that you and your husband don’t hold a job and all of us are paying for your 10 kids. Nope, the church has said this person is going to fix everything and I believe.

I’d love for everyone to honestly check out Bitch Fest. If you’re reading my blog then you won’t be offended. lol But just in case there is offensive language. ROFLMAO

This blog has put it all and referenced the lies even. It’s an amazing post and brought me to start posting as well. I have more than a say. I have intelligence to think for myself and read the issues. ALL the issues, I don’t just go with one party and think that is the best idea since peanut butter. Hell no! I like ideas from all sides of the lines, I just wish we could find someone in politics that could go with the right thing to do instead of having to be party affiliated. But money talks
