COMMENTARY: ON EARNING RESPECT

Linden believes that he joins the majority of Americans in having a great deal of respect for the Office of the Presidency. However, those who occupy that office MUST earn that respect each time the office changes hands. There are several facets involved with earning respect and one of them is to be, except in rare instances, straightforward and honest. Ben Stein, the writer linked below, addresses honesty in regard to the current White House occupant. Linden gave the article an A.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Thursday started with the usual breakfast meeting with the guys: 5 were present and it was a good meeting. Jack did the reading and prayer. Had pizza at lunch with three other guys. Attempted to file a sales tax report but couldn’t manage to accomplish the task and couldn’t read the directions even with a magnifying glass.

COMMENTARY: BASIC EDUCATION

Over 1,800 times Linden has prepared a posting for you to mull over. There was a two-fold purpose in doing so: the first was to keep myself occupied and thoughtful and the second was to present a viewpoint that was often different from that of the liberal media. The article linked below presents thoughts that are in line with Linden’s purpose. Read it!

COMMENTARY: MSM IGNORANCE

Looks like another day when Linden brings you very little original thought. However, he has selected for you three links that are well worth your time: the first indicates that Sarah Palin knew that she was quoting from Martin Luther King while many newsies who love to ridicule her, had not a clue; the second link is to a video of an unbelievable old doll; and the third link is to a funny ad.

COMMENTARY: OBAMA WAS ONCE TRUTHFUL?

I am only responsible for what I write, not for what you understand: This is not an original thought.

I listened to the Rush Limbaugh show for a few minutes on Friday and the following is close to a repeat of what I think I heard Rush say: In his SOTU speech our President said “when what you’re doing doesn’t make sense for 50 years, it’s time to try something else.” Then I believe Rush mentioned the “war on poverty”, Obamacare, and other mismanagement schemes foisted off upon the taxpayers by the democrat party. I would agree and would add blacks becoming the lackeys of the democrat party.

-----

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Friday brought the early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast. The rest of my day was almost completely non-productive.

On Saturday Sam came out and brought me some business tax forms and we had breakfast at the Avon Legion Post. It was a good morning and the rest of the day was a lot like Friday.

Sunday started with church and Sunday school attendance. Later, I watched the first half of the I.U. basketball game, fell asleep at halftime and missed the second half. They lost. After awakening I watched the last half of Butler’s basketball win. Brian called.

COMMENTARY: MY SURVEY RESPONSE

The following is a modified version of something viewed earlier: I am only responsible for what I write, not for what you understand.

Linden is glad that he supported Mia Love in her congressional campaign in Utah. Today she sent a survey and my suggestions follow:

Baseline budgeting should be discontinued.

Obamacare should be dismembered.

Lawbreakers (illegals) should not be rewarded with citizenship.

Discontinue UN membership or at least contribute no more than the second highest contributor.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Thursday is the day I have breakfast with other somewhat like minded friends. There were five of us present with two missing. Wayne gave the devotions and it was a good visit. Later, I dropped off a letter at church, picked up my post office and home delivery mail and was busy at home until well into the evening. As mentioned above, it was a good day for pledges of support for my “Ireland Is Calling” project on Kickstarter. Watched the first half of I.U. basketball: they won.

COMMENTARY: A FAVORITE NEWS SOURCE

Wednesday did not afford Linden much time at all to prepare what it is that you are now reading. Luckily I heard just a bit of the Rush Limbaugh Show and learned that Rebekah Erler, who was featured during the SOTU address, had been active in democrat politics. Not much of a surprise but it seems almost dishonest that it wasn’t mentioned in the speech, nor was it in any of the media “news” releases that were checked. It is little wonder why there are so many people who don’t have a clue.

About 10 in the morning Diana came by and I took her to the hospital where Dan has been for a couple of days. Think Diana had a procedure scheduled there also. I then went to a store, a gas station, and the post office. Had the most home delivered mail I have received in a while. I was busy until almost 3:00 when it was time to go pick Diana up at the hospital. In the evening I had dinner and attended a study at church.

COMMENTARY: THE SOTU: 3 VIEWS

The President: Everything (almost) is just going swimmingly! Employment is booming, foreign policy is working well, we need free childcare and free college, we continue to fight terrorism, the world is warming, and we show the power of strength and diplomacy. Congress should know that I will veto bills I do not want to become law.

Joni Ernst: The results of the last election is a clear indication that the voters are not pleased with the direction the democrats have led our country. We, as Republicans, will work hard to bring the country back to individual prosperity and correct the mistakes of recent years.

Linden Swift: First, I believe that the only talent our President has is that he is an accomplished deliverer of the written word and I would rather watch rocks breed than listen to him talk. So much for possible bias! Regarding the SOTU speech, you should know that the unemployment rate means nothing, our foreign policy is a laughingstock worldwide, free means that those who are working will pay for it, our fight against terrorism now means releasing terrorists and not prosecuting others, and whether or not the world is warming is questionable to say the least. Congress should ensure that he is furnished good bills that he may veto. Enough for now.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Tuesday started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A then, shortly after, went to a good Chamber of Commerce luncheon: I wasn’t hungry. In the afternoon I was busy at home. In the evening I talked to Brian, watched some boxing and suffered through watching the SOTU address and the response given by Joni Ernst.

Linden has never before read a personal letter anything like the one that is linked below and probably would not have been capable of writing such a letter. It is to be admired. The refusal of a large segment of our society to accept any responsibility for the condition of their own life is a reflection of personal failure.

I didn’t stay for the “game day”… came home and was busy. Feeling snowed under. But happy none-the-less. Ordered some Girl Scout cookies from Julie.

COMMENTARY: OBAMACARE JOKE

In Linden’s opinion, the only thing funny about Obamacare is the reaction of the previously very supportive Harvard professors when they learned that, compared to many others, it would have a limited effect upon their well-being. These are those who are “educating” students. If Linden worked as a HR professional he would find it difficult to hire an Ivy League graduate. The link below addresses the subject.

There is probably no end of illustrations of the failure of poorly thought out government policies.

COMMENTARY: RACE HUSTLER AL SHARPTON

At the moment, Linden can think of nothing good to say about Al Sharpton and those who support him. Although it is not much of a recommendation, our President seems to think highly of him. If you agree with these basic points, you may enjoy reading the article linked below.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Thursday started with going out in the 7 below weather to meet Bill and Chuck for breakfast then went by the church to pick up my mail that had been left there. Later I went to the credit union, post office, and looked in on the Mission House. Had a nice phone visit with granddaughter Alison.

COMMENTARY: POSITIVE SIGNS?

After all the rancor following the selection of Boehner, it is nice to see any thing that even resembles a positive sign. If the two articles linked below are accurate and if positive action is taken, that could be the start of something really good.

Wednesday was so cold that I did not go outside at all…not even to pick up my mail. Dan and Diana did come by after having an enjoyable visit in southern Indiana. I stayed busy and warm. Even made a pot of not too nasty chili.

COMMENTARY: LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS AND JUGGLING

Perhaps elections and juggling have something in common. Regardless, we have the same leaders of the parties as we had before this closer than it looked election in the House. Now we can seriously begin judging the effectiveness of those leaders in regard to opposing a President who often appears to have gone completely nuts if judged on the basis of what is good for America. The first link below addresses the election and the second is a great juggling exhibition.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

On Tuesday, although there was plenty of snow and it was cold, I still went to Chick-fil-A for breakfast then on to the post office to pick up my mail, then home for the rest of the day. Worked some on a project and ate a lot of snacks…thanks to those who provided them.

COMMENTARY: AN IMPORTANT DAY

Today is the day that the House and the Senate pick leadership. These leaders have immense power over the direction legislative actions may take. There is much dissatisfaction , especially with John Boehner, both within the bodies themselves but also around the country. Many feel that these bodies have been too quick to allow the President to lead the country down the wrong path. The article in the link below addresses this subject.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

Monday was so cold that I didn’t get out much and then we had our first heavy snow and I couldn’t park my car inside. I wanted to bring you the poem “Blame” by John Guest yesterday as part of my Christian Studies posting. Here is the text:

I went to my psychiatrist to be

Psychoanalyzed,

To find out why I killed the cat and

Blackened my wife’s eyes.

He laid me on a downy couch to see

what he could find,

And this is what he dregged up

from my subconscious mind.

When I was one, my mommy locked

my dolly in the trunk,

And so it follows naturally that I am

always drunk.

When I was two, I saw my father kiss

the maid one day.

That is why I suffer now from

kleptoman-e-ay.

When I was three, I suffered from

Ambivalence toward my brothers.

That is just the reason why I poisoned

all my lovers.

I’m so glad since I have learned that

lesson so well taught,

That everything I do that’s wrong is

someone else’s fault.
