Giving Thanks And Other Random Thoughts

Every year at Thanksgiving when our family sits around the Thanksgiving table, we give thanks to things we each are thankful for. I told my neice's husband recently that this year I have a laundry list of things to be thankful for which I am listing here. As most of you know from my blogs, this past summer I suffered a severe accident at the Maryland shore where I had both my legs broken. Therefore:

I am thankful to be alive. I could have drowned, been paralyzed or had my neck broken at that time.

I am thankful that those two young guys were there who acted so quickly and professionally and carried me to safety.

I am thankful my neice was there to call 9-1-1 and they arrived so quickly.

I am thankful for having such a fine doctor as Dr. Huber in Maryland who put my legs back together with metal plates and rods.

I am thankful Obamacare wasn't in full play at this time. Under Obamacare I might not have received the professional care I did so quickly and would have been taxed on the metal plates and rods that are now in me enabling me to walk again.

I am thankful for my wonderful wife Judy who was there for me during this whole ordeal paying the doctor and hospital bills with the insurance for me and caring for me in such a loving way and comforting me thru this ordeal.

I am thankful for having a great Orthopedist as Dr. Kavatis who operated on my leg when an infection set in and removed the infection in time so as to avoid having my leg amputated due to the metal rod in it..................

In California, a thirteen year old boy had an American flag on his bike for two months to honor veterans like his father and grandfather when school officials told him to remove it because other students had complained about it and they feared racial tensions would arise. RACIAL TENSIONS ????????????? Since when does flying an American flag cause racial tensions? Anyone who condones, initiates or agrees with such an action should have his head between his legs and shoved up where the sun don't shine. This goes for the students who complained also. As President Theodore Roosevelt said in 1907: "We have room but for one flag in this country and that's the American flag."........I see where Michael Moore on Bill Mahr's show said that it is time for Obama to take off the pink tu-tu and put on the boxing gloves and fight for the people." "Fight for the people???" Obama has done nothing but govern against the people since he took office. The majority of people were against the stimulus packages that sent us into massive debt and have done nothing to stimulate anything but were mere paybacks for voting for Obama. The majority of people were against Obamacare and he instituted it thru various bribes such as the corn husker kickback with Sen. Ben Nelson and Louisiana Purchase with Mary Landrieu where he gave each state millions of dollars in medicare payments in return for their vote. The list goes on and on. He's a socialist and in no way interested in being for the people. Michael is a leftist hack just like Obama so naturally he would think that way...........I have recently taken a liking to the husband and wife singing and song writing duo known as The Rivoli Revue consisting of Ron and Kay Rivoli. They are known for their popular song "Press One For English" and have several other catchy tunes such as the one supporting Arizona I have listed below which is a rousing, foot stomping, hand clapping video recorded live at an Arizona tea-party and one called "The U.S.S. of A." (United Socialist States of America) protesting socialism. In that video note Ron holding a copy of Newsweek magazine that said on the cover "We're all Socialists now." Their tunes are so catchy and clever and refereshing and it's pleasure to hear conservative protest songs for a change since most protest songs in the past have been mostly liberal. Please check out their website below for all their songs and videos and click on the links I listed for three of their songs.
