ANZAC DAY + A QUESTIONAIRE

Australia and New Zealand have been among the strongest supporters of the U.S. for years: ANZAC Day (April 25) commemorates the actions of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in the battle of Gallipoli in World War I. It has since been broadened to honor those who have served and died. The song “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” was one of our links in 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kki1kpFCBh0 Read the comments as the song is playing.

The following is a condensed version of an E-mail that Jim sent to me: you can see the entire contents if you inquire on “if any other of our presidents.” The answer Linden would give appears in caps after each question.

If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? YES

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on? YES

If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him? NO

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? YES

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? NO

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? NO

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk. YES

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite? YES

If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? YES

If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved. NO

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? NO

LINDEN’S LIFE

Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Went to the post office and credit union then spent the rest of the day doing paperwork and reviewing all this info I have about going to Ireland.

Saturday: Breakfast in Indianapolis with my niece, Peggy. Nice visit. Paul brought by a news article I was interested in.

Sunday: Church and Sunday school. Brian called right after I got back home. Then, I went to Sam and Shirley’s for our Easter buffet at what used to be the Officers Club at Ft. Harrison. Their daughter, Terri, her children, Dane and Kelsey, and Dane’s wife, Brittany met us there. It was, as usual, just great! Maybe the best of the Thanksgiving and Easter treats I’ve enjoyed with them for about the last eight years.
