About Me

North Judson, IN, United States
Born in West Virginia and moving to Indiana at the age of 12, I had few problems transitioning to my new home. I excelled in school, but after High School marriage and work took all my energies. I have been married to my husband Michael for 30 years. We have two children; Justin and Savannah and two granddaughters, Paige and Chyler. I did subsequently go to college starting when my children were in elementary school, and finished with a degree in clinical psychology. I am involved in my local church and more recently have become involved in political activism. I believe that government has to answer to its constituents. I believe that the divisiveness along party lines has impeded progress for the American people, and that bipartisan consensus on the issues would create the best possible answers for our current problems. Most of all, I believe in the Constitution, and the American people and their spirit. I am a patriot that believes that American is still the last,best hope of the world.

GOP isn't Rosa Parks

I can't even believe some of the things that Barack Obama is getting away with saying. Republicans, even if voted into the houses of Congress by "We the People" are to be relegated to the back of the congressional bus. They can "help" if they want to, but they have to do what he tells them. Who the heck does this man think he is? Our Emperor? Der Fuhrer? Or does he sense that he is the next Washington, or Lincoln, or Roosevelt? This "King" and his "court" has certainly outdone past Presidents for urbanity, cool "nobless oblige" and glamour! He is the most arrogant President certainly. Can't you just feel how stupid he thinks we are? He is the cool kid in high school that everyone wants to bask in his ambience. He's smooth, he's cool, and others follow his lead. It's clear that he's confident and he feels a warm glow for the poorest of the poor. They love anybody who says there'll be a chicken in every pot. It was said by many others in their day. Other self-promoters that thought they needed no help figuring out what everyone else should do. I am not stupid and I am not affluent. Those things don't necessarily go together.

I will not be condescended to because I am one of the common people. I am intelligent and I am a college graduate. I am proud and independent and I try hard to make my way. But I am also disabled with a back condition and had to retire early, so I am also a Social Security recipient. There is a greater proportion of people becoming disabled than ever previously. And it feels like the dole when it should be a proud thing that this country takes care of people who fall ill. A society that takes care of its own is a truly civilized society.It is the stress of a society, gone to seed, in the wake of the industrialized and information age that developed along with technology in the last hundred years. The pace, to human beings, and our environment has been exponentially increased during that time, and the result is a society deconstructing in morals and traditions and rules. Most of the ills of civilization can be traced to the breakdown of morality, education, and hospitality. We became complacent. We failed to continue to value what we had until it was long lost. The cow is out of the barn now, and we are living with the havoc that creates. Our government has now become our nanny. We can only have as much freedom and prosperity that Obama determines. I shouldn't feel like a second-class citizen because I have limited resources, so he feels that the solution is to bring everyone else down to that level of government controlling their income. I don't like being manipulated, and that is exactly what D.C. has been doing to us for a long, long time now. Where are the Patrick Henry's of our day. The Ben Franklin, the Thomas Jefferson? I decided about a year ago, that Glenn Beck is the Paul Revere. Love him or hate him, he is being a beacon to a lot of people, not only Republicans. The Republicans have sinned, and I have a feeling a few of them shouldn't be throwing any stones!
D.C is an entrenched system, and all the newcomers are going to be told to "go along to get along". If they do, their first term will be their last.....I hope! I hope the tea party lasts. I don't even know about the Tea Party. It depends on what they now do. If they get caught up in more of the same, I hope they get unseated along with Obama in 2012. Obama is sure of a career after this anyway. He will have his own show on the Oprah network! He'll have to quit blowing smoke though!
