ELECTION PRAYERS:
The nine months just completed should show even the most unwilling that the democrats have absolutely no business running our great country. They have absolute control at the federal level, the Republicans have virtually no say in any matter regarding governance and it appears that the democrat aim is to turn America into a land of serfs.

Next Tuesday, November 3, will bring at least four very important elections: those for Governor of New Jersey and of Virginia and special Congressional elections in California District 10 and in New York District 23. The news following those elections will be full reports of the ramifications of those elections. Meanwhile, keep your thoughts and hopes focused on the needs of our country.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Both Jack and Paul were absent at our Thursday breakfast meeting. Even without them it was still enjoyable. Had a dermatologist appointment later in the day: medicine was about seventy bucks but it may be worth it. I see him again in a week—no torture today.

AN ANALOGY:
Although the other links are worth your time to investigate, it is the letter read by Glenn Beck upon which Linden chooses to direct his attention. It is well thought out and well presented but does seem to be another of those “throw them all out” writings. Linden does disagree with that line of thinking. Therefore this analogy:

Suppose you are one in a group of 545 who are charged with the responsibility of performing great tasks. The larger group within this 545 has the power to make all the decisions, regardless of what you and the others may wish. They display great solidarity.
This larger group, numbering about 325, has no wish to perform the task in a responsible manner. (Congressional democrats)
The smaller group of about 220 (Congressional Republicans) have almost no power but 200 of them, of which you are one, really want the overall effort to be successful. The other 20, in varying degrees, are not as responsible.
A movement is underway which advocates the replacement of all of the 535. Does this seem fair, right, and good. NO! The 325 should be terminated without a second thought, 200 should be retained and the other 20 should be selectively culled. This requires some thought.

A BLACK DAY:
In this day when recognition and, in some cases—particularly in the black churches, adulation is being poured upon those such as Sharpton and Jackson, it seems only fitting to recognize some of those who are truly worthy of being followed. That is what Linden has done today and ends the links with a cute one about animals.

Had biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A, went by the post office and church and returned home. Did some ironing, communicating, and spent some time looking for recipes I have misplaced. Narrowly averted having a nasty fall. We will have a couple in the Mission House for the next couple of nights.

ON A HIGHER PLANE:
Today we will deviate from Linden’s normal subject matter and bring you this poem (author not known) about Heaven. H/T Chuck

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven's door, Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor. But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp-- The thieves, the liars, the sinners, The alcoholics and the trash. There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice. Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice. Herb, who I always thought Was rotting away in hell, Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well. I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal? I would love to hear Your take. How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake. 'And why's everyone so quiet, So somber - give me a clue.' 'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock. No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!!

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car .. Every saint has a PAST.... Now it's your turn..., Share this poem.

IT IS NO SECRET
that Linden considers Sarah Palin to be a shining light from among the rather limited list of outstanding Conservative Republican leaders. When he posted regarding the NY District 23 special election last Wednesday he, although he didn’t mention it, was hoping that she would take an active interest in that election.

Linden had completed his Friday posting before becoming aware that Palin had endorsed Doug Hoffman in that special election. It was probably through the rsmccain posting shown below that Linden’s wish became an apparent reality.

WHY A DEMOCRAT (2)?
This is the second of what may be a series of postings which will try to define exactly why there are democrats. The first, posted on October 20, advanced the possibility of mental dysfunction. Feel free to send your thoughts on this matter to LWDcomment@aol.com

As one who has worked in sales positions at various times in his long life, Linden knows that people have varying degrees of sales resistance. Some can be sold anything quickly while others take much longer.

If we look at much of the educational experience within the last 50 year period, we can easily see that a concentrated sales effort has been made within these hallowed halls of learning. It would be difficult to dispute the belief that the vast majority of educators, particularly those at the college level, hew to the liberal line and believe they have a duty to share this belief with defenseless students. This means that our second category consists of the brainwashed.

NIGHTMARE AGAIN:
After all the “news” coverage it received, I thought that ACORN had been defunded until such time as an incompetent Congress once again provided the organization with some of our taxpayer money. Apparently Linden was wrong. Again!

While listening to a bit of the Laura Ingraham radio show during the time that Congressman Michele Bachmann was the guest, it was said that at the close of business October 31 the new budget goes into effect and that ACORN is funded again. Like any other cancer, it is tough to get rid of. It was suggested that we (you) start calling our Senators and Representatives in the House to advise them of our concern. It is possible that your newspaper should also be contacted and asked it this is a bit of news that they should consider reporting.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Had the second meeting of the new school year with my Study Buddy: it went well and was an enjoyable time. Received a very nice email from Robert at Haus Edelweiss. He and his wife, Sunny, run the kitchen there. The note brought back pleasant memories of Austria. I had thought that I may see my daughter, Julie, today—guess it will be tomorrow. Had an excellent evening meal at church. It was followed by a very good presentation regarding the Holy Spirit.

IN 13 DAYS:
We will know the results of the special election held in Congressional District 23 in New York. Unfortunately, some of the well known Republicans have endorsed a candidate that seems to be sorely lacking in dedication to conservative thought and belief. Perhaps fortunately, the Conservative party has fielded a candidate that appears to be deserving of our support. The link to his web site is followed by two articles addressing his candidacy and a great Kyle-Anne Shiver writing. http://doughoffmanforcongress.com/

WHY A DEMOCRAT (1)?
This is the first of what may be a series of postings which will try to define exactly why there are democrats. Feel free to send your thoughts on this matter to LWDcomment@aol.com

Although it is a sad thing indeed, it is a fact that some are born mentally impaired and others just fail to develop mental faculties in a timely manner. This alone is not a guarantee that they will support the democrat party but it would seem logical that, if one is unable to think clearly when they reach voting age, the chances are no better than even that they will vote as a clear thinking patriotic person would. Those so afflicted are to be forgiven.

LITTLE NEW IN MY MIND:
If you are a frequent reader, you know that Linden is disappointed in our President and in those who accept his lack of credentials. You know that Linden is disgusted with Congressional leadership that will resort to any shoddy legislative means to further their usually undesirable wishes. You know that Linden is disappointed, but not surprised, at those racists ones that kept Rush Limbaugh from becoming a minority owner of a football team: this is a rather long list. And, you know that Linden was surprised to learn that that a few of the Republicans in Congress are as undesirable as are some of the democrat majority.

So, today we will focus on some entertaining links: a great writing by Kyle-Anne Shiver, a shot at Pelosi, info on those who support Sharpton, a somewhat surprised liberal, and a war hero.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
On Friday, after attending the early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast, spent a large part of the day working on some long neglected paperwork. Some short term visitors to the Mission House arrived late in the evening.
Saturday brought the early Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Kingsway church. I missed attending the writers group meeting. In the afternoon and evening listened to or watched several sporting events.
Sunday was church and Sunday school in the morning and services again in the evening. Not productive in the period between.

MORE FOOTBALL, MORE LINKS:
Thursday the subject was the interest Rush Limbaugh had in becoming part owner of an NFL team. After the posting was made, Linden became aware that the slander campaign against Rush had been successful and it is highly unlikely that he will become part owner of one of the franchises.

It is difficult for Linden to imagine a more contemptible person than those who are engaged in race hustling and they are many, come in all sorts of colors and viewpoints but have the racist curse as an overriding factor in their lives.

Linden certainly hopes that Rush is willing and able to file suit against those who treated him so unfairly. Those, in Linden’s estimation include many in the media, in the sports world and the “Rev’s” Jackson and Sharpton.

FOOTBALL:
Linden hopes that you have read his postings of yesterday and the day before. Today, not so meaty. It seems that many in the news reporting business have seen fit to lodge personal attacks against Rush Limbaugh. Apparently not all of these attacks are based on the truth. Wednesday, in the short time he had for such matters, it seemed that some of the earlier reporters are beginning to waffle. Rush was well into the verbal attack mode as part of his offense and it would not be surprising to see law suits against those who engaged in lackluster reporting. Hope so!
Linden hopes that Limbaugh realizes his dream of being part owner of a NFL football team.
Because of the shortage of time to develop an in depth politically oriented posting, Linden is recommending the several links below.

Busy day! Had my first Study Buddy session of the year and am working with the same little girl that I did last year. Her reading ability and content comprehension are much better now than then.
Had an examination by my eye specialist—little noticeable new deterioration. Due to the dilation, my vision was fuzzy for most of the rest of the day. Had a good evening meal and program at church.

I WAS WRONG -- PART 2:
Although it was not so stated, the posting yesterday concerned only the House of Representatives. Today we will consider the Senate.

Linden has long believed that, from the political benefit to our country standpoint, the worst Republican is a better public servant than the best democrat. It is painful to admit that I was almost certainly wrong! Close but still wrong.

Linden has recently been contemplating the belief of some that all members of Congress should be voted against in the next election. He has been associating that thought with the “don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater” expression. As a long time member of Citizens Against Government Waste, it was fortunate that he received a copy of their publication which compared the voting records of the two parties which “serve” us. It clarified his thinking.

This report, which was for the 2008 session, rates members of Congress on a scale of 0 to 100 percent in relation to their support of 42 different spending matters which relate to taxpayers winning or losing. The categories were: Hostile, Unfriendly, Lukewarm, Friendly, Taxpayer Hero, and Taxpayer Superhero. Averages showed democrats with 4% and Republicans with 72% out of the possible 100% rating.

The 100 member Senate was broken down into 51 democrats or democrat clones and 49 Republicans. The democrats had 49 members who were rated as Hostile to taxpayers (17 were rated at ZERO) and 2 who were only unfriendly! Only one Republican was rated as low as unfriendly while 14 were considered to be Taxpayer Heroes.

Rather than chance “throwing the Congressman out with the bathwater” Linden believes that you should identify those who are taxpayer unfriendly and seek to defeat them. This would include all of the democrats and you should seek a primary opponent for the lone Republican disgrace shown below.

Olympia Snowe of Maine

This report, which was for the 2008 session, rates members of Congress on a scale of 0 to 100 percent in relation to their support of 48 different spending matters which relate to taxpayers winning or losing. The categories were: Hostile, Unfriendly, Lukewarm, Friendly, Taxpayer Hero, and Taxpayer Superhero.

Averages showed democrats with 6%, Blue Dog democrats 10%, Republicans 70% Republican Study Committee 79%. Only one, a Republican of course, earned the Superhero rating of 100%.

The democrats had 34 members who earned a 0% rating and 225 of their 238 members were rated as being Hostile to taxpayers. None of the other 13 rose above the Unfriendly to taxpayers category.

Of the 197 Republican members, only 14 were in the Unfriendly to taxpayers category and none were as undesirable as the democrat average. As shown in the Republican average above, Taxpayer friendly is the most common category.

Rather than chance “throwing the Congressman out with the bathwater” Linden believes that you should identify those who are taxpayer unfriendly and seek to defeat them. This would include all of the democrats and you should seek primary opponents for the 14 Republicans listed below in State, District, and Name sequence.

THE NOBLE NOBEL?
Linden has long had an appreciation for the comedic value of John Cleese as he depicted Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. This is not nearly the only thing Linden has found funny or a joke in his years on this earth. Few things can top the Nobel Prize Committee in its awarding of The Peace Prize to President Obama. If this is not a joke, Linden will probably refuse their Literature Award when it is offered.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Thursday included the usual breakfast meeting—Bill and Jack were absent. This was followed by a Golden Glows pitch-in luncheon – I took purchased brownies- great meal and the program regarding the worldwide efforts of FAME in their medical evangelism efforts was great also.
The major event on Friday, other than the usual Men’s Prayer Breakfast was when my downstairs radio came on loudly after I had been asleep about an hour. I had not turned it off correctly.
Saturday was pretty much a loss—particularly the I.U. effort in their football game at Virginia.
Sunday brought the usual church related involvements. Little else.

GOD BLESS AMERICA:
Perhaps Linden should have named this posting “GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HER ALLIES”. As he reviews his military service of almost sixty years ago and the service of those who served before and after his own service, he is humbled by the willing sacrifice of a great many extraordinary men and women.

Linden is particularly pleased with those who served with us under different flags and then, later, became one of us after the conclusion of wartime activities in their original country. They bring to our shores a knowledge of what a truly superior country we have and a heightened dread of seeing our country weakened in any manner.

It is in this vein that Linden brings you a few lines from an announcement by Young Vietnamese American Professionals. They will be honoring those who served today, tomorrow and Sunday. Linden’s friend, Thuc, will be attending as will his son, Chris.

“YVAPS will organize an honoring event for Vietnam Veterans – the Veterans of Freedom and memorial service for 58,800 fallen U.S. Soldiers, 230,000 Army Of Republic Of Vietnam soldiers, and millions of Vietnamese civilians.”

“The event recognizes the bravery and sacrifices of those who fought in the United States Armed Forces and helped the Republic of Vietnam to be free for 21 years from 1954-1975. The Vietnamese Americans community wishes to honor Vietnam Veterans and former ARVN soldiers with the acknowledgement and gratitude for the men who fought valiantly.”

NAACP:
H/T Brian
Linden spent a few moments on Wednesday verifying the tip that the NAACP was involved in registering inmates of prisons in Maine and Vermont to vote. They are the only two states to allow felons to vote.

Linden, having been in more than a few prisons, believes that the majority, but certainly not all, of the inmates are less well educated and less mentally equipped than the average of those not in prison. Considering the mental equipment of those not in prison, this is scary indeed.

Also considering the number of “public servants” in the current administration who are guilty of criminal offenses, perhaps this is just an early insurance that some of them will be able to vote when the wheels of justice slowly grinds out their sentences.

COMPARING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS:
Linden, after long years of observing some of the output of the Ivy League type schools, has often felt that the value of the education received in such settings is vastly overrated and overpaid.

To illustrate this line of thinking, he chooses our President who had little to recommend him for the office he holds and very few accomplishments of note since assuming the office. His background includes Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Sarah Palin has effectively performed in several leadership positions and appears to be a forceful leader, graduated from The University of Idaho after attending several other schools.

Linden would ask you to judge but the American people have recently shown little ability in the judgment area.

Link to a comedic, incomplete, and not great addressing of the failures of Obama:

LINDEN'S LIFE:
While on my way to the post office, I dropped off my most recent book with Donna. Had biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A, went by UPS and Pier 14 and back home. Talked to Carl Van Dorn—included in our conversation was mention of he and Joyce taking me to Steak and Shake the last time they were in Plainfield. I said that I had recently seen an ad for a Guacamole Steakburger. We agreed that it sounded worth trying. So, later in the day, I had one with French fries and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Included in my other activities of the day was reading a posting at http://www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/
As it often does, it brought tears to my eyes.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Thanks to a lucky chain of events involving Jack, I bought a new TV. Another lucky event resulted in Brenda, our Secretary before I retired, joining me as we celebrated Thuc’s birthday at a nice restaurant. 13 years after I retired and we are still friends.

Saturday: Went early to join Bill & Larry in an outside book signing event held in conjunction with a parade. It was freezing cold and I came home early because of severe back pain. A nap and heat alleviated it somewhat. Jack came over to set up the TV.

Sunday: Morning, church, Sunday school, brunch with friends. Watched a football game and had evening church services. Jill Shaw, a missionary we help to support in New Zealand, was the guest speaker. She is really impressive. Friend Joyce called in the afternoon—she goes to Central America soon.
