A Lady's Ruminations

"Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

My Photo
Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Pull out of Iraq?

This is from an e-mail that has made the rounds.

Pull out of Iraq?

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?


Body Count In the last six months:
292 Americans killed (murdered) in Chicago;
221 Americans killed in Iraq .


Who Runs Chicago?
Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Rep: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Illinois Gov: Rod Blogojevich,
Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan,
Illinois Atty. Gen: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike),
Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J.Daley)
....our leadership in Illinois .....all Democrats!!

Can't blame Republicans; because there aren't any!!!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Although, Cook County (Chicago) sales tax is 10.25% (highest in country).
(Look it up if you want)

Chicago school system is rated one of the worst in the country.

Summary:
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois .

And he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us?

Wake Up America!

Liveblogging the 2nd Debate

I've never really liveblogged before because I didn't have the ability, but tonight I have borrowed my dad's laptop and decided it would be fun to do a bit of it. So, here it is. :)But if you want top analysis, I would visit The Corner at NRO.

Go McCain!

7:00pm-Obama is such an idiot. Ie love how he just mentioned Delaware as a state that is a bad example. Does he forget his running mate JOE BIDEN is a senator from Delaware? Hmmmm.

7:03pm So, we should have stopped the Holocaust if we could, but Obama doesn't recognize we stopped a similar tyrant in Iraq? Idiot. What the hell were we supposed to do? If Obama had been around during WWII, he would have advocated leaving the war to the Germans and English. Idiot.

7:06pm I'm so proud of Senator McCain for reminding Obama, Brokaw, and the rest of the stupid Libs what our troops do for us, how we should be so proud of them, support them, and realize that they are the most important thing we have. We need to remember that our troops have saved millions upon millions of lives, have saved countries, and deserve our love, prayers, and encouragement. I'm sick of the Dems forgetting the importance of FREEDOM. And freedom isn't free. Freedom doesn't come through talking. It comes through doing, which is what our troops do. Obama and his cronies talk, talk, talk.

Now Obama's talking about not coddling people? And only minutes ago he was essentially saying we should have talked to Saddam and coddle him, rather than acting. And now he's saying we should kill bin Laden? How? What do you think we're doing?

7:10pm Yes, let's announce when we're going to attack, Obama! In fact, why don't we just give our battle plans to the enemy, borrow a white flag from the French, and leave all our weapons & tanks on the field, while we come home and cower in our basements? Excellent plan! Why didn't Wellington think of that? Why didn't Patton think of that? Why didn't Schwarzkopf think of that? Why didn't Franks think of that? Ahhhhh!!! Idiot!!!

7:16pm Now Obama is saying the Afghani people should have what they want? How about the American people? We were screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO about the bailout and did our dictators elected "representatives" listen to us? No. Why are they there? To do what they want or do what we want? My grandpa thinks we should just fire them all and I think I agree.

7:21pm "More safe"??? Obama just said something made us "more safe"???? He's a moron. Oh, now he's going to minimize what the Great Ronald Reagan did for us, versus the EVIL EMPIRE that was (and is becoming again) Russia?

7:24pm Good question from Terry Shirey, citizen, about whether we should wait for UN approval if someone nuked our important ally Israel. Hell no. I'm hoping McCain says just that.

Tom Brokaw has been super annoying tonight. Shouldn't he, as the moderator, moderate and not just whine that the answers are going too long?

Good answer about how Obama hasn said he would meet with the Iranian president without preconditions. Obama has said that, but in the last few days has said he never did!

No, we cannot allow a second Holocaust to take place. Obama: Allowing Iran to get a nuke would be a game changer. Wow. What a stupid statement. And he wouldn't take military options off the table, which is essentially what you do when you ask the UN if you can go fight for someone's freedom. The idiots at the UN don't care about freedom or saving lives. Ask the people in the countries where the UN peacekeepers have been stationed and have raped the women and done horrible things. Blah. Blah. Blah. Obama keeps talking about talking. And putting a little pressure on Iran. Good luck. Not going to work, moron.

7:28pm OMJ, President Bush has so much more power than I EVER realized! Obama just said that the President refused to talk with Iran and Iran went from zero centrifuges to a bunch! Geez!!!

7:30pm Obama just said he learns most things from Michelle. Scary thought!

And now he's telling us how he's a product of the American dream----scrimping, saving, scholarships, hard work---but he seems to always say that the American Dream is over and not a possibility. Which is it?

7:32pm McCain does know what it is like. He has the experience needed to be President. Obama has nothing. And he really has no character, just like lots of great actors.

McCain has always put his country first!

7:36pm Michelle Obama always looks like she's been sucking on lemons. Yuck. Who wants that from a first lady? And I don't buy any of Obama's "America Love" rhetoric. He and his wife hate this country. They want to be citizens of the world! Wooooh!!!

It was super annoying the way Tom Brokaw kept interjecting his own questions. I thought the point of this townhall debate was to allow the citizens to ask questions. Why were they all about the same things? Nothing interesting or something someone outside the Beltway would ask. Boring!

7:41pm It was really sort of a boring debate. I don't know why I bothered to watch it. Obama's not a good debater; he's a liar and rambles. I think he's a good actor, which is why many gullible people (read: Democrats and stupid moderates) don't bother to look into what he actually says. They just think he sounds confident and knowledgable and that's enough for them. Idiots.

Great Blog Alert!

We Love Gov. Sarah Barracuda Palin!


I LOVE this blog! I just came across it today while looking at pictures Sarah's rally in Carson, California (wow, it was HUGE). If you scroll down you'll see a great post with pictures of Sarah's various pairs of shoes (and the question is why the MSM feels the need to always take pictures of them, but I won't complain). I LOVE red high heels! Go Sarah!!!!

Life is Sacred

This is one of the most honestly powerful videos I have seen in a long time. If you are Catholic (and even if you aren't), you ought to watch it and take the message to heart before you vote on 4 November 2008.



Curtsy to Hot Air.

Obama's Support for Infanticide

I'm just going to post this video of Gianna Jesson, who SURVIVED AN ABORTION 31 years ago. Lots more information on Obama's support of what is INFANTICIDE at Hot Air.


I do not understand how anyone, anyone could support the heinous and horrible practice of abortion, but to support partial birth abortion and deny babies born after botched abortions any treatment OR LIFE takes an special sort of evil. We elect people to government to protect our lives. Without life, then there is nothing else (but God). What sort of person votes against protecting life? Against helping someone who is hurt and needs medical treatment? If anyone dares suggest that illegal aliens should not be given endless medical treatment when they aren't paying for it, that person is called a racist, a classist, and screeched at for denying people their rights. And yet, those same people calling names and screeching don't see any problem with brutally murdering babies and then euthanizing those who survive the torture. God save their souls.

Further, I don't know how anyone who claims to love children could support someone who supports killing babies.

A Liberal Woman Finds Sarah Appealing

Via Hot Air:

Great column in the Telegraph (UK) by a Liberal woman who finds Sarah Palin appealing.

Rebecca Johnson: 'I am a liberal, but I'm blown away by Sarah Palin'

Matt Damon's an IDIOT

I came across this over at Hot Air:



What an elitist jerk. He fails to understand that the people who spend all that money on his silly little films are just like Sarah Palin: hardworking, honest, middle-class Americans who like to hunt, live in small towns, and do their best. Arrogant ass. And to belittle her intelligence, her abilities, and her origins . . . not very tolerant and open-minded, is he? (But that's liberals for you.)

I've never understood why anyone thinks Matt Damon is a good actor. He's nothing (not even a pretty face, honestly). And he doesn't do a very good job in this little hit piece.

Why exactly should anyone care what he thinks about the Vice-Presidential candidate for GOP? What are his qualifications? Has he ever been in charge of anything?

I am so sick of Hollywood idiots thinking they know everything and we peons just need to follow their directions.

As Katharine Hepburn said, "Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four."

I AM SARAH PALIN

I am SO excited!

John McCain just picked Pro-Life, NRA-Member Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential Candidate! News here.

I like WHO she is, as opposed to the fact that she is a woman. I am looking forward to hearing more from her, watching her debate Joe Biden, and joining her in taking on the Left.

Plus, which is really stupid, but I want to mention it, I really like how she does her hair! lol

More importantly: She is Pro-Life. Her newest child was born with Down's Syndrome, something we don't often see these days. Women would rather kill such babies than allow such loveable people to survive, which is tragic. She's pro-military. Her oldest son joined the Army 11 September 2007 and this coming 11 September will be deployed to Iraq. She's a patriot. She's a Christian. She's a mother. She's a hunter. She's smart. She's talented. She's a Conservative.

I watched her speech earlier today and thought she came across as intelligent, confident (but not bitchy, as Hillary comes across) and strong, tough, and genuine, but at the same time warm and friendly. She's just what we need.

I had not decided what I was going to do on 4 November, if I was going to vote for John McCain (very reluctantly) or if I was just not going to vote for President.

McCain's pick of Sarah Palin has convinced me he is willing to listen to those of us who are Conservatives. I will be voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin on 4 November!

"The Child ventured forth"

This column by Gerard Baker at the Times (UK) is absolutely hilarious, especially if you have happened to hear the nauseating speech Barack Obama gave in Berlin yesterday. All that self-love and faux-liberty makes me want to cast up my accounts, preferably on Obama.

But this column cracked me up. Read it and share it!

Obama: Not So Fabulous

There is an excellent post at Protein Wisdom detailing Barack Obama's lackluster record. And I really mean lackluster. I've noticed when I ask Obama supporters why they are voting for him, they really have no answer. They can't really answer "what has he done" because he hasn't done anything, so their answer is that he was a "community organizer." But if you actually look at the facts, he didn't do much as a "community organizer."

So, what's so special about him?

Want a good laugh?

Read Ann Coulter's latest column: Hillary: Stand By Some Other Man. Absolutely classic and hilarious.

Oh, yes, and something a lot more disgusting (but related to Slick Willie), from Ann's sidebar: From Free Republic A partial list of democratic pedophiles. (No, Slick Willie wasn't a "pedophile," but he is a rapist/molester.).

"I want to live in an America where . . ."

If you have seen the two Hollywood-brainless-cultish videos supporting Barack Obama, then this will make you laugh.

In what hopelessly silly way would you end the sentence?

"I want to live in an America where . . ."

I would have to say, I want to live in an America where Jane Austen novels are read over the loudspeakers and on street corners.

I want to live in an America where we all stop at 4pm for Tea and Scones made in proper English china.

I want to live in an America where the sun never stops shining and the children all sing happy songs! *Pardon me, I feel like I'm about to cast up my accounts.*
And what do we really want?

I want to live in an America where every baby is allowed and legally has the right to be born, as we were promised with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

I want to live in an America where the government provides for the common defense and general welfare, but doesn't tell us what we can or cannot eat.

I want to live in an America where righteous laws are lived and enforced, including the laws governing our sovereign borders.

I want to live in an America where God is allowed in our schools, public spaces, and churches.

I want to live in an America that is living up to God's plan for this blessed nation.

Is Fred . . .

. . . a Reagan Conservative?

Because that's what I want. That's what I'm going to campaign for. Vote for. Spend money, sweat, tears, and time for.

I want a Reagan Conservative.

And writing of Reagan leads me to this: Achieving Change: What We Can Learn from Margaret Thatcher, from the Heritage Foundation. Study it well!

UPDATE: Today was the Iowa Caucus and Fred's still in!.

"I am Hillary . . . Hear me roar!"

I saw this picture over at NRO's Media Blog and just had to post it (Reuters):


Rather terrifying, isn't it? Doesn't she look like some sort of tyrant?

Remember this picture when you decide to vote.

Anyone have a good caption?
