Easely and his bride and staff took a nice taxpayer paid trip to Italy to promote NC as a vacation spot for Euro-spending Italians. Must've been some trip because it cost you and me over $170,000.00

I believe people ought to take responsibility for their mistakes. I apologized last night to liberalNC for being over the top in my comments...and did so without explanation or excuse. Excuses don't excuse poor behavior.

I was angry. It was as if a family member had died and someone I hardly knew came by to offer condolences and then ask for the deceased's possessions before the body was even cold. That's not an excuse...but an explanation of why I was angry.

So, I'll apologize again to LiberalNC and the rest of you for my outburst.

I've commented before that Mike McIntyre is worthless.

Here's more proof...You might want to read this DKos diary for ALL the details READ IT HERE but here's the short version...

A Republican congressman, who has spent the better part of the past two years on a mission to ensure Jesus Christ has a place in all aspects of federal government, has introduced a resolution to designate a week every year to honor the nation's "rich spiritual, and religious history."

Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th President, spoke at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23rd, 1910. The title of his speech was "Citizenship in a Republic" and the best known words of that address are:

Actually this was the punch line from a long ago joke diagnosing the problem of a beleaguered Toyota Salesperson with a unique sales-debilitating flatulence problem....But, absence from the gas pump is making my heart go Honda.

After driving my Jeep and enjoying everything about it but the bill at the gas pump, I decided to start looking at cars that would give better mileage. I looked at a bunch and although several would have been fine, The Honda Civic Hybrid seemed the best to me. Superb safety (5 star) rating, not squirrelly looking, comfortable, fun to drive...and amaaaazing gas mileage. Good warranty too.

I would like everyone to read about HR 1955. I've copied this from a diary by OPOL on DKos. You need to read the whole thing...I've provided the link further below.

Declaration of War vs. The People

On October 23, 2007 the U.S. Government declared War on the American People. By a vote of 404 to 6, the U.S. House of Representatives approved HR 1955: The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This act designates every American who acts -- OR PROMOTES ACTION -- against the U.S. Government to be a TERRORIST. Simply put: If you've ever said that George W. Bush should be hanged as a war criminal, you sir, are a Terrorist.

404 to 6. And they did this while no one was paying attention.

When I was in Vietnam so many years ago (artillery) I sometimes wondered what I would do if I thought I was going to be captured. Stories of torture and atrocity were common place and I wondered whether or not I could withstand such things. It never came to that, but there were times I was pretty scared.

I've read the accounts of many who were captured and tortured. While I know the hope of returning to their loved ones and home sustained those brave soldiers, I also know somewhere in their minds they were also comforted and rebelliously sustained knowing they held the high moral ground and that their captors would someday be punished for their crimes.

After reading A's post on KOS and after reading Justing's post regarding Dole/Hagan/Neal...and more importantly, the comments, I started to wonder what it takes to get people upset enough to do something about the Democratic Party, it's leadership, and the Democrats we've elected who don't represent our interests.
