Claire Marie in 4D

We were able to see Claire in 4D today! It was an incredible experience! I am 28 weeks pregnant and she is measuring 29 weeks. She weighs just under 3 pounds! We got several good shots of her. I am posting a couple of the best or easiest to see. She is due July 18, but we are hoping to meet her a little earlier (if she's ready). Just wanted to post these so you could celebrate with us. We thinks she looks like such a cutie already (but we aren't biased) ;)

THE New National Holiday

Well, well, well. Today is one of the most important days of the year. No, not Christmas. No, not Easter. No, not President's Day. Have you not paid any attention to what the news media has been trumpeting? Are you unaware of what the honorable (that's questionable) Nancy Pelosi is doing today? Even President Bush is getting in on the act. They are both planting trees today. People, it's Earth Day! It's time to plant some trees, recycle some aluminum, watch an Al Gore movie, read up on the Kyoto Protocols, walk instead of drive, and be sure not to breath! Today is a day that liberals and tree huggers have been looking forward to since last Earth Day. It is the day where children across America, dare I say the world, will be exposed to stories of dying polar bears and thinning ozone layers.

Those little chaps will come home and cry to mommy and daddy about the sad state of the world, and demand that in their homes they cut back on water and use candles because Al Gore, John Edwards, Cameron Diaz, and Leo DiCrapio told them to do so. What they won't see, though, are the gulf stream jets, 20,000 square foot homes, and gas guzzling limos that those Pharisees toil around in all day long. And if we dare question them we will be scorned and banised prematurely into the outerdarkness that awaits those of us who dare to use gas and electricity!

I could spout off about how man-made global warming is a farce- it is; cow farts let off more co2 emissions than SUV's-but I am not in the mood to do so. Instead, here is what I am going to do: Later today I am going to hop in my truck and drive 30 minutes away to Rock Hill, and then I am going to turn on all the lights in my house when I get home while running all the water faucets for 30 minutes! Take that tree huggers! In reality, I think recycling is great, and I think conservation is a wonderful idea, but NOT at the expense of human development! We have abundant resources around us to be energy independent, but fascists in government won't let us. When Gore and his goons live what they preach I will join the bandwagon. Until then, long live nuclear power!

Roger Clemens and Your Tax Dollars

If you would, please contact Rep. Henry Waxman and ask him why he wants Roger Clemens investigated by the Justice Department to see if he perjured himself, but he hated the idea that Clinton was investigated and impeached because he DID perjure himself? So let me: going after a baseball player is more important than holding the President (at the time) for lying (without a doubt) under oath? I can only say one thing: hypocrisy. Typical of our "friends" across the aisle.

And be sure to thank him for spending your tax dollars on this investigation!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

February 26th, 1993 was, in my opinion, THE most important day in the 1990's. It was the day that Bill Clinton set the tone for the future War on Terror. The following is an excerpt from a brief explanation posted on Wikipedia:

"On February 26, 1993 at 12:17 PM, a Ryder truck filled with 1,500 pounds (680 kg) of explosives was planted by Ramzi Yousef and detonated in the underground garage of the North Tower, opening a 100 foot (30 m) hole through 5 sublevels of concrete leaving six people dead and 50,000 other workers and visitors gasping for air in the shafts of the 110 story towers.

In 1997 and 1998, six Islamist extremists were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for their roles in the bombing. According to a presiding judge, the conspirators' chief aim at the time of the attack was to destabilize the north tower and send it crashing into the south tower, toppling both landmarks."

Over 1,000 people were left injured due to the attack. The following info can be found on www.hillaryproject.com:

"It was the first attack on U.S. soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack was planned by a group of conspirators including Ramzi Yousef, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, El Sayyid Nosair, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Ahmad Ajaj, and Abdul Rahman Yasin. They received financing from al-Qaeda member Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, Yousef's uncle, who was the mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks."

Yes, people were brought to justice, but did you read the last sentence in the previous paragraph? The man who matermminded 9-11 was never brought to justice. Bill Clinton chose to try Yousef in a CRIMINAL COURT, and not a WAR TRIBUNAL. He committed an act of war, but he was instead put in a criminal court. This set the tone for the Islamic Extremist's reign of terror in the 1990's. They knew at that moment that Bill Clinton was not serious about terrorism. In fact, Clinton KNEW that Yousef was sponsored by Saddam Hussein. The last time a government sponsored an act of war against our country, on our soil, we eventually dropped two atomic bombs on them. This proves to me, if nothing else, that Clinton was a coward, and he was willing to risk American lives rather than risk his reputation within the international community. Who cares about France's opinion, anyway?

Any person associated with an administration who carried such a policy has no right to hold the highest office in the land during this time of war against terror (remember: Hillary was, and some say still is, Bill's wife in the 1990's). Hillary Clinton, and Barack Hussein Obama, have made it clear that they do not want to continue this VERY necessary crusade (yeah, I said it: CRUSADE). They have said they want to talk to our enemies rather than eradicate them. It was George Washington who said, in essence, that the way to maintain peace was to prepare for war. Man, oh man. How far we have fallen from such a policy. A policy, by the way, that was stressed by one of our most important Founding Fathers. Any intelligent human being does not need to be told how ignorant it is to try and appease enemies (see: Neville Chamberlain).
