Courage to Continue

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
That's the key, continue! No matter what, we must continue!
Don't give up...whatever the obstacle, just Continue!
Whether in your faith, job, politics, health, finances, relationships...keep truckin'....

Paranoid part 2

Okay, now I'm sounding a little paranoid about the government....not all of it, but definitely this administration. I'm sure there are good people out there somewhere working for the government. So stand up for your freedoms and don't be afraid to ask questions and have a difference of opinion...we do not want to live in a socialist country and I know all of you don't either...so be alert, make a difference, change is NOT always good......be careful what you wish for.

Uncle Autie...keep em' comin'

"However (political parties) may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurper for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterward the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
George Washington, Farewell Address, Sept. 17, 1796
Okay, I had to read this several times.....to actually get it. Cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men, subvert the power of the people, for themselves the reins of government...if you cut it down, and add a little common sense....I get it.

My sister writes:
Tomorrow in Santa Ana a copy of a Kenyan Hospital Birth Certificate for Barrack Hussein Obama is going to be filed with the court. Fox news will be there. What do you think about that? True or not?

Wow, we will all have to follow this......not sure what I think, but I do believe all men running for president, left, right, black, white need proof of citizenship BEFORE they run. Some say he had proof, others say no...I have no idea, but maybe they will get to the bottom of this....good grief!

New Uncle Autie Quote....

"Beware the greedy hand of government, thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry." Thomas Paine
Can it be that we have not learned anything.....Thomas Paine knew it way back, he warned us then, did nobody listen? Talk about government in every corner and crevice.....banking, auto, health, housing, I know, if they want to control everything....do you think they will pay my house payment this month? I could use a little extra, oh wait....they probably can't afford to, they will have to pay all the new car payments people can't pay from cash for clunkers......

Don't Buy It!

We have been studying Dave Ramsey at church for the last few weeks. He has soooooo much common sense it's painful. He has classes you can take, books you can read, counselors you can talk to, workbooks to fill out. But I can put exactly what he is teaching into one line......if you can't afford it, don't buy it! In other words if you can't pay (cash) for it, don't buy it!
Common Sense, go figure.

Levi Johnston

Whether you are a Sarah Palin fan or not.......Levi Johnston is way off base. He has been making remarks regarding Palins role as a mother, grandmother, politician.....He claims there was not much parenting regarding the Palin house, that Sarah was down after the election and talked about quitting politcs to write a book.....so what? Who wouldn't have been down after that election, I know I was. The thing this wanna-be actor-model kid from Wasilla needs to remember......he is the father of her grandchild. It makes him family. He needs to grow up, support the Palin family and take some responsibility in his own parenting skills....in other words, have some common sense.

Be Careful What You "Facebook"

I recently joined the world of facebook......scary. I know all the younger generation is used to it, but it feels so "out there". Such exposure. Anyway, at a CU graduation ceremony, one of the guest speakers gave the best advice I have ever heard regarding the Internet. "Don't put anything on the Internet (facebook, twitter, email, my space, etc.) that you would not want your mom, dad, grandmother or grandfather to see".......because it will come back to haunt you. It will be out there eventually for the world to see.....think about it. Common Sense, isn't it amazing?
