Lead, follow, or get the Hell out of my way, Mr. President!
Several things have happened today that need reporting on. The 1900 pages House of Representives abomination that even covers VENDING MACHINES. OMG! I don't really care at this point if it's a REP, DEM, IND, or JERK! The people in Washington have lost their minds! That's number one.
As I was sitting at the ol' computer listening to tunes and thinking of things that better go unsaid, not bad things, just personal things. One of my favorite CD's got popped in the player. Charlie Daniels. The Mrs and I saw him perform at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington, NC. He was born and raised right across the Cape Fear River, in Leland County if I remember right. He had his 80+ year old mother on the stage at the concert. He seems to be very country and down to earth. Well, as I am so prone to say, it started me thinking. Not good! Here's what I cam up with.
Some excerpts from a couple of his sons "struck a cord with me" . Get that struck a cord, Charlie Daniels, that's a joke. How 'bout a chuckle. Here are some of the words I found worth repeating and thinking about.
Some people ain’t afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect,
For the Lord and the lawSome good people up front to take the lead
I ain't nothing but a simple man,Call me a redneck,

Why did he pick on intellectuals?
I know this relates to a previous post, but I came across this website re Palestine/Israel; it has a lot of similar photos to ones I took:

Great post Pops. I like Charlie Daniels too. His simple, down home truths and simple, easy to understand words are comforting. I often get a headache trying to sort out what so many intellectuals and politicians are saying.... (I understand them perfectly well, but most always have to explain them to Little Critter and that sometimes gets tough! How do you explain 'existentialism to a 9 yo?!?!)
Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with that eleventy million page of rubbish Madam Speaker put out. I haven't even taken the time to attempt to read more than the first 20 pages or so...so much gobbelty gook makes my eyes cross and my rapidly silvering hair stand on end. Sheez, just speak plain English and cut all the legalise junk.
Have a great weekend my friend. Shalom, Spitfire
Elizabeth, An interesting article and pictures. I don't suppose there are any bad roads or slums in Israel.
Regarding Charlie Daniels, ask yourself the question. Do you feel threatened by the fact selected intellectuals? Hmmm.

I don't consider myself an intellectual...I haven't written any books or been given any endowed chairs at a university...I'm just an ordinary person, but there are good and bad intellectuals. Lack of education is not a virtue.
Elizabeth,
Agreed, lack of education is not a virtue. It can be cured,become educated. Lack of morals and common sense is not a virtue either. Unfortunately is can't be cured. Many of the Leftist book writers, university professors and persons with endowed chairs lack both.IMHO
