Charlie Reese - journalist

Think long and hard about retaining your incumbent representative, we must make a statement to get the attention of Washington. 545 vs 300,000,000 EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE. Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years. 545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I ...

OUR POLITICAL WORLD: 9/4/2009 7:27:20 AM Our political world has been turned upside down, and I for one do NOT approve. But what can we do? Well, for one we can all pray! WAIT, isn’t our current President all ready asking us to pray? Unfortunately, he’s asking the religious leaders to pray for his passing of his liberal agendas. What’s wrong with that picture! How about praying for thy will be done, not your will Mr. BO president! When we all pray, we are to use the Lord’s prayer, not the BO Presidents prayer. Now we have an elected President who is attempting to indoctrinate our kids with his liberal agenda. I also do NOT approve! How about being a good brother’s keeper Mr. President and get together with your half-brother in Kenya somewhere? Just a few thoughts to post to my blog. mydamobster@myownfaith2.com

Senator Roberts

You may have already received this letter from Senator Roberts, but since you live in the Leavenworth area, I thought I would pass it along. Be sure to click on "GITMO" and sign the 'Petition' to Barack Obama that we do not want the Detainees housed in Kansas.

Ted Kennedy (1932-2009)

THE KING IS DEAD .. LONG LIVE THE KING! 8/26/2009 4:49:52 AM Senator Kennedy died this AM. I’m currently watching FOX/TV and Ted Kennedy passed this AM. I wish the family well. Now the passing of an era has come to pass. Here are my thoughts regarding the Kennedy family. I first began following the news of the Kennedy’s back in the 1960’s. John F. Kennedy, his older brother and our beloved President back then was assinated on Nov 21, 1963. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was sitting in a biology lab class, awaiting further instructions on what we’re going to cut up today. We cut up frogs, etc. I next walked to the student union at SDSU, Brookings SD and watched the proceedings on a black and white TV screen. I then drove my 1961? Two door Chevy to Bruce SD. I stopped at Bud ‘n Mick’s Café and I remember telling a local the news. I was a freshman at SDSU back then and we commuted from home. The last person of the Kennedy legacy has now passed. Who will take over? T...

Matt's email to cjonline.com

Good afternoon, Myron: As promised, here is my letter to the editor (Jan 17th) defending our most recently dismissed President: The letter is below and the link to the newspaper article follows. Letter: Bush served well The Capital-Journal Published Saturday, January 17, 2009 Though it has become popular to disparage our 43rd president on the editorial pages of various newspapers and magazines, as he leaves office those of us who remember Sept. 11 as the greatest of our American tragedies should congratulate George Bush on a job well done. He has made good on his promise, given as he stood in the rubble of what was once the World Trade Center, to ensure that "the people who knocked down these towers are going to hear from us real soon." His twin strategy, no doubt formulated in concert with Vice President Cheney, to attack the enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq has paid great dividends. We have not suffered an attack on our native soil since 2001, our troops remain victoriou...

Inauguration Day

INAUGURATION DAY: Today our 44th President will take the oath of office. Barack Obama, our 1st black President will say so help me GOD in front of millions of viewers. I’ll be viewing from the privacy of my own home. My TV will invade me visions of almost Hitler like “messiah” type adoration. Well, let me tell you my beliefs. I am not impressed. Yesterday, Mark and I got some free food at the 1st Presbyterian Church right next to the state Capitol building, 8th & whatever. We walked from his apartment at 11th & Jackson and participated in some free food. Mark left early for the “Whose dream is it” service. Jerry Farley, Washburn University’s President, gave the speech. I for one was moved by the tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. I wonder if I could get a copy somewhere of the service? I shook Mr. Farley’s hand and gave him our business card. I wonder if he ever has time, he’s blog with me? NEVER HAPPEN! Mark had to leave early, as I heard from Sal that he ...

What is wrong with my sister state in Minnesota! I received this from listening to Shaun Hannity who referenced Matt Drudge. I’m working on getting over the flu. Myron@myownfaith2.com

EXILED

11/6/2008 6:12:39 AM EXILED I’m in exile. My political ideologies have been submerged in the recesses of my brain. In listening to Sean Hannity conservative radio, I can relate. I will write my opinions and post them to my blog. I’ll continue to make conversation with the folks and give them our business card. The reliv.com stamp is on the back and hopefully somebody will want to join us in this wonderful business. One of my bucket lists numbers can be scratched off .. at least partially. The ole’ truck, my hearse needed a little repair work to the tune of 11K. I guess we can use that for our emergency fund.. Need to get my laptop keyboard fixed too.

SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND

Topeka KS Mayoral Conditions & Platform

9/4/08 6:41:04 PM MAYOR CONDITIONS & PLATFORM: Mark & I were having our weekly father/son luncheon (no John, as usual) and I had an epiphany! The father/son discussion turned to politics and he knew I ran for mayor. So I proceeded to write on a paper napkin my conditions and platform before I would ever run for mayor again. So here goes: MAYOR CONDITIONS: 1) I’ll need Sally’s permission. 2) If our current Topeka mayor decides to run again for a second term, I’ll NOT run. 3) I’ll run only if I have a co-mayor on the ticket. 4) I only want to cut ribbons & kiss babies. 5) The co-mayor will run the Tues. night city council meetings. MAYOR PLATFORMS: 1) I promise to do NOTHNG and I ask the city council to follow my weak leadership. 2) I will sell the mayor’s desk and chair on EBAY. 3) I will blog @ home and NOT at the mayors office. 4) I will try to make most all the public mayoral functions & use my own transportation to do so. 5) I will NOT drive downtown if a mayoral fu...

Updates from State Representative Ann Mah

Ann has given me permission to post her emails to my public blog. Here is her 1st email: District 53 Constituents: MOST ANTICIPATED NEWS.... Yes, the road project from 39th to 45th on Croco Road opens this week. Latest date is Friday, but hoping for good weather and an early release! Then you can drive straight through to the new Glory Days Pizza, which opens tomorrow, just west of Croco on 29th.
