Time for a Break (I believe in the 110%)

After two years (Oct. 24, 2011) of blogging and my work schedule not letting-up one iota I find myself needing a long overdue absence from posting.

As most of you who blog know it takes time, effort, research and yes thought to put together a decent post that others may find of interest or enjoy whether or not they may agree with it and in my case the dilemma is time.

This is not to say my presence on your blogs themselves in comment form will be absent as I enjoy them all. In fact, my taking a break from posting myself will give me the opportunity to comment more being I read allot of your work, but due to time constraints I refrain from commenting all too often usually because someone has covered to some extent what I might have said. That is not meant to excuse myself from refraining but rather to point out again the time.

This fiscal year until election day 2012 is going to be a very bumpy ride so I do not see my "Gone Fishing" sign being up very long but I just need to recharge the batteries so-to-speak.

Hold down the fort, keep up the good fight (and it is a fight) and above all keep your heads high as those of you on the right are on the right side of history on either side of the pond!

By the by, THANK YOU OHIO ON ISSUE 3 !   66% !

State Issue 3, constitutional amendment to block national health care expansion, approved with 66 percent of the vote.

To Obama, the "left" and "#occupy":

You got another thing coming,,,,,,

[I could not help that, HUGE Judas Priest fan here and the meaning fits- "JP" fans know]

On another serious note I wish all of our U.S. Veterans and standing Military along with their families a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU!

A favorite salute of mine (blogging that is) to you all,,,,(Sure it is cerimonial but one just has to love the U.S. Navy on this!) If my UK friends may notice (the British Military and Commonwealth might) the U.S. Navy gives a tip of the hat to ya'all with a hint at the Queen Anne Salute in this as well,,,,,

A final thought: My Dad always stated and meant that if I was right he would back me 110%, but if I was to be wrong he would come down on my ass 110% to and including me (if not hospitalised) be in prison.

I still live my life with my Dad's promise and it has served me well. Thanks Dad for being 110% !

Americans, STAND UP AND BE ON YOUR OWN!!!!! (This message is worth spreading)

I am quite sure most who might view the following are more than aware of our current state of affairs in the U.S. and most likely share the views contained within.

That said, the level of intensity and frustration in this message of a learned Professor, Terry J. Lovell, displays is what I believe deserves further audience as we fight to collectively save our Nation from certain ruin.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER ! Video: Surfer Almost Swallowed by Whale

You Tuber bqnbarb13 -  A woman floating on a surfboard near Santa Cruz, California almost ended up on the lunch menu for a humpback whale over the weekend. Barb Roettger had her camera rolling as two hefty whales popped out of the calm waters not far from the unsuspecting surfer and a pair of kayakers.

A pod of humpback whales has been hanging out off the Santa Cruz coast, noshing on anchovies that flock to the area to feed on plankton. The woman found herself in the middle of a feeding frenzy called lunge feeding, which occurs when whales herd anchovies and shoot straight up out of the water with their mouth wide open to catch the fish.

[Note the anchovies breaching the water just before the Whale]

The whales have had quite a few dangerous close encounters with humans and boats in recent months. Whale watchers are warned to stay at least 100 yards away from the feeding area. Roettger says she has now gained a greater respect for whales, their feeding patterns and will now only spectate from the decidedly safer dry land.

2011 Election Watch: Ohio

reason.tv -"If you're going to take away liberty and property, there has to be some sort of due process involved," says Chris Littleton, the head of Ohioans for Healthcare Freedom and a Tea Party leader in the Buckeye state. "In this case, as citizens, we feel that those things are fundamentally inhibited and we want the Supreme Court to hear our case on this."


Littleton's group is pushing an upcoming ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution to prevent citizens' involuntary participation in any health-insurance system. The U.S. Supreme Court is widely expected to issue a ruling on the constituationality of what's known as the "individual mandate" in Obamacare and Littelton thinks passage of the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment will give his state unique legal standing:

"This is citizen-initiated, which is very unique. If it passes, Ohio will be the only state that's done something like that."

While most challenges to the individual mandate revolve around the limits of Congress' commerce clause powers, Littleton believes the amendment will activate due process and 10th Amendment considerations.


 

Herman Cain Knows His Place: It's in the Oval Office , Zo Breaks it Down Brilliantly

Many have posted on the recent attacks on Herman Cain but I have abstained due to just what I may write as my anger and patience is growing quite thin to be honest. I will leave my thoughts to be expressed by one who I believe gets it right 100% of the time. Alfonzo Rachael or Zo.

That last quote of Harriet Tubman sums it up does it not;

"I freed thousands of slaves and could have freed thousands more,

 if they had known they were slaves"
