To my Catholic friends, allow me to congratulate you on the selection of your new church leader and Pope. Not being Catholic it does not resonate with me quite as strongly as with you I am certain. However, being a Constitutional, Christian, Conservative I certainly applaud any new Christian leader who is willing to take up the challenges of Christianity today.
I would like to thank my daughter, Sarah, for the Kindle Fire that was my Christmas present this past year. I would also like to thank Wendy's Hamburgers for providing the free Wi-Fi, and CNN (yes,CNN) that provided the live coverage which enabled me to watch the new Pope Francis address the crowd at the Vatican.
Taken aback to say the least was how I would describe this article. It deals with Representative Gifford's husband, Mark Kelly. Now why is it not Representative Kelly or Mark Giffords? Herein lies part of the problem with the new America that is being pushed by the progressive/liberal party, incorrectly called Democrat. The "win at any cost" mantra used by these misfits and malcontents is somewhat disconcerting to G-d fearing, Bible clutching, gun holding Conservatives. You see, we too often see the world through rose colored glasses. We try to understand people in a logical, intelligent way. The problem with this is the progressive/liberal/democrat isn't dealing with a mind that is logical let alone intelligent. They deal with everything in a touchy, feeling emotional way. Also spoiled and selfish way, my way or I'll take my ball and go home.
I am particularly concerned with Mr. Kelly as he drags the recovering retired Representative around the country highlighting the before and after of his injured wife. Retired Representative Giffords cannot hide the injuries she received due to the severity of them. To start an organization and use her as a prop for what appears to be "his" cause now is unconscionable in my humble opinion. As a military man (retired) he knows the value of being prepared for combat with what ever weapon you have at your disposal. He as much agreed with this when he stated he would keep the pistol he recently bought. He used his wife as prop just like he used the AK he bought along with the pistol to attempt to prove his point. This is a sad, sad state of affairs, IMHO, of course. A retired military man touting the progressive/liberal/democrat agenda and using his ill wife to advance this cause is, again unconscionable.

My second concern comes from my home state (by birth, by choice it would be any southern state) Ohio. Here we have a perfect example of "win (windy she talks too much for her own good) at any cost" by a supporter of President dope and shame. The intellectual level of this lady must be somewhere between an amoeba (a one celled animal for those of you in Loma Linda) and a stalk of celery. I applaud the fact she has proven our voting system is old, outdated and can be breached very easily. I abhor the fact she put her personal prejudices before the country that gives her that freedom of voting unencumbered and free of threat. This incident only give rise to the mega possibility that President Dope and Shame could have quite easily been falsely elected. With the million of dollars from Hollywood, Mr. Soreass, and the unions the electronics of voting could have been manipulated from somewhere outside the United States. Just for one minute think about it. One unintelligent woman voting 6 times and don't forget the nun. This woman should be in hiding somewhere in Brazil. She gave up her Savior for the opportunity to elect President dope and shame! May the Lord have mercy on her soul. Now again, just think of one computer geek hacking into voting data basis.......need I say more.

One note about the nun she still has a job at the same college. Don't believe me! Check it outl
The 54-year-old Kloos has resigned as the dean of the Division of Arts
and Humanities at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, where
she still serves as an associate professor of religious and pastoral
studies.
Would you want her teaching your children at a religious college! What is wrong with this country!!!
God Bless America and new Pope Francis

A Wise Pope
Not being Catholic I have refrained from commenting about the Pope’s resignation UNTIL NOW! All my religious and Catholic friends don’t get your panties in a bunch; I am not going to crack on the Pope. Remember I have a Monsignor that occasionally reads my blog. The fact of the matter is I believe the Pope did the right thing.
If I may be allowed to reflect on my career for some background you hopefully, will understand why. As a young 24 year old fresh out the Army in 19 and 70 I choose to become a police officer, following in my father’s footsteps so to speak. He was in his 50’s. Being my father, mentor and best friend we often would talk about situations we had been in. As the years rolled by and he left “the streets” for a less active position I began to notice something. The guy I loved and respected more than anybody was slowing down, in mind, in body and in spirit. This was not bad just a plain ol’ ordinary fact of life.
I had enough time to recognize some young rookies coming on the department were better educated, trained and little faster than I. This can be good; of course it can get your butt in a sling also. This sometimes would require the older more experienced officer, (ah hum) me or another more senior officer to bail their backside out of trouble. Getting the drift? I’m not old enough for the “less active” position but I am no longer the “chargin’ Charlie” either. Age, as and in of itself causes class distinctions. It is inevitable.
This reminds me of my young warrior son, Jacob. He was a big Hulk Hogan fan when he was little. We used to clear the living room of most breakables and I would put a $5.00 bill on the coffee table. I told him if he could pin me like Hulk he could have the five bucks. Of course I won. We continued to play this game until he went into the Army. After Iraq and Haiti one afternoon we were clowing around and this yound son of mine ask if I wanted to put the $5.00 bill on the table. Admittedly I wanted to. That manly testosterone thing you know. I thought hmm, me 60 plus about 190, him 30 about 175, age, weight and experience, hmmm....... Here's the five bucks son, spend it wisely, I just did!
As I said I respect the Pope for his decision. He is old and wise. He understands the concept of aging and accepts it. For this every Catholic and non Catholic follower should be thankful.
Now to the heart of this post. I only wish we had the same leadership values in this country. It seems unfortunately many of the most powerful in America think they have tapped into a fountain of youth. Perhaps they fail to recognize they are failing in mind, body and spirit. Perhaps they think they are irreplaceable. Or perhaps they are just full of __it and think they can run everybody’s life better for the good of the all.
My list of those who should take and follow the Pope start off with:
Senator John McCain. I respect his service but IMHO he really needs to retire.
SCOTUS Justice Ruth Ginsberg, Her health by her own statements is affecting her
Ex President Jimmy Carter, every time he makes a statement it reminds me of the rabbit scare during his presidency.
Joan Rivers, just retire to the Old Actors Home, you had a great career, 30 years ago.
Mayor Bloomberg of New York City, I wanna drink a 32 ounce soda!
I might add one more name,
Pops, at least according to his children, LOL
Of course the list could go on and on however I think you get the my drift. Should you care to comment feel free to leave the name of those you may think should follow the Pope’s lead.
