W...Rocky, I can't help but snicker at your comment. We watch the television show "Jericho" and love it. If you haven't seen it, it is a show about the small town of Jericho, Kansas and the aftermath of a nuclear attack on America. The people have to fend for themselves, as every major city was nuked, and there is no real federal government. The town has to pool their resources, work as a team, work as an army, barter or fight with neighboring towns, etc just to survive.<BR/><BR/>I recently went on a cub scout overnight camping thing and it was obvious that many parents had never camped before. Instead of cooking supper they went through McDonalds on the way. Some had trouble with their tents, and in the morning they were completely unprepared for even coffee. Any talk of a real hiking/camping outing in future years brought fear to many eyes. We have this expression about peole now that goes "He/she wouldn't make it in Jericho".<BR/><BR/>My wife said that she knows our family would be fine, because of my abilities outdoors because of my own scouting, my Marine Corps experience, and my general "improvise/adapt/overcome" mentality. I was proud that she sees me that way. One of the true gifts I have been blessed with is the ability to take charge and make decisions. <BR/><BR/>If you spend your life looking for things to be offended about at every turn, you won't make it in Jericho.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457956739752722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-85034536649294474052007-10-31T10:19:00.000-05:002007-10-31T10:19:00.000-05:00I always considered a funeral a PRIVATE affair for...I always considered a funeral a PRIVATE affair for the family and friends of the recently departed. This should be their decision based on what they believe would honor and please the person who has died. <BR/>My take on recent events is this; people have way too much time on their hands. There wasn't time for this nonsense back in the days when you had to wash your clothes in the river and hunt for your foos, chop wood for a fire to stay warm. It was all about survival of the fittest. I can't help but wonder how many of these ignorant, lazy jack-legs would have made it.<BR/>Kind of makes you yearn for the old days...maybe not. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-26633891220486362672007-10-31T06:42:00.000-05:002007-10-31T06:42:00.000-05:00ROFL at Shaw.

I don't understand the angst that Red Sox fans endured for the best part of a century, but I sympathize. There is some consolation in being the underdog, because when you win it is magnified a thousand times. Now there are expectations and it presents some odd feelings...My Auburn Tigers were once the trod upon stepping stone of the SEC, now we contend each year. While I am thrilled about this, it just makes the mediocre seasons like this one disappointing.<BR/><BR/>Jenn, I also agree with you and him about the Adminisrtion's handling of this issue.

Do you have proof? Or am I reading your prejudice? Prejudice--pre judging.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I looked online and found this on a blog called Hot Air. Don't know anything about the blog or who runs it:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/yw3pvd<BR/><BR/><I>One person at one military burial in California objected to the words of the flag-folding ceremony, which includes a reference to “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Result: a coast-to-coast ban on the recital at all 125 cemeteries overseen by the National Cemetery Administration. <B>The families can read it aloud if they want, says the NCA, but no cemetery workers will be allowed to do so.</B></I><BR/><BR/>So a family member or a family friend can absolutely perform the recital. It hasn't been banned outright, just the cemetary workers have been barred from saying the words. <BR/><BR/>(I don't agree with this, BTW. The way the Bush administration should have handled it, IMHO, is to continue to allow the recital with references to God and leave out the references to God only when a particular family requests it.)<BR/><BR/>Here's more:<BR/><BR/><I>Some Michael Newdow type is going to sue the NCA if this persists, which is only going to end up getting Lloyd’s people fired. <B>Exit question: Are we sure we can blame this one on the atheists?

You and your friends have your lynching mob out ready to blame a liberal. <BR/><BR/>And BTW, thanks for acknowledging that a Democrat, Heath Shuler, also thinks this is a dumb idea as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-80401671474113164262007-10-30T14:37:00.000-05:002007-10-30T14:37:00.000-05:00You are on a roll!

The First Amendment right of freedom of religion has become a liberal crusade to force freedom from religion especially if it involves any form of Christianity. Additionally PC has allowed this vital part of the First Amendment to become a shield for fanatical practices that endanger this nation. <BR/><BR/>Such as Islamo Radicals schooling students on how to kill Americans....taking place daily in this country.<BR/><BR/>None of this is waht the Founders intended. Freedom of religion is the freedom to worship, believe and serve God in whatever belief that one has. Whether Christianity, Muslim, Jewish, Buddists, etc. It does not mean eliminating God from all aspects of American life.<BR/><BR/>While we have freedom of religion this nation was founded on Judeo/Christian values and the Founders understood and embraced them. <BR/><BR/>Honoring Vets at their funeral is a tradition in which the nation honors their service. Also if the family has no problem with the ceremony than the busy body liberal who complained should shut their trap!The Liberal Lie The Conservative Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082308076603570611noreply@blogger.com
