About me
My husband and I have been married for nearly 39 years. We have 3 adult (kinda') children and 5 awesome grandchildren.

My Christian faith and tennis are large in my life. For the last 16 yrs. I've been the caregiver of my MIL, my Dad, my Grandchildren, and now my Mother. It has been hard and the internet allows my mind to escape for a while.
Why I use Clipmarks
There is always something interesting to read. It provides a great way to communicate ideas and opinions and learn new things.

 Makes sense to me. The more people learn what Congress has orchestrated for them the better ours looks right now. Krauthammer has an excellent article that states simply....scrap these bills and start over.

Justice Dept. Says ACORN Can Be Paid

by jatfla  Today 5:24 PM    2
 A-Mazing!!!! Total and complete conflict among themselves; and the parsing of the words "provided to". "Since there are two possible ways to construe the term “provided to,” Mr. Barron wrote, it makes sense to pick the interpretation that allows the government to avoid breaching contracts." (they're spreading the corruption all around)

China's backing on Iran followed dire predictions
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 12:17 PM   
 It means nothing...just more paper and ink. I heard John Bolton this morning say that Israel will not wait much longer; it can not afford to. If Iran goes nuclear (as it intends) then that will motivate other countries in the region to do the same. Plus Iran would willingly give their nukes to such as Hamas and Hezbollah or sail one up a European or US dock. He said what we all know: That El Baradai has provided cover for Iran for the last 12 yrs. and that we can be "Thankful" that he is gone from the IAEA in just a few days.

 How dare they call it a "Christmas Special"??? Neither of them *know* "Christ*. It's all a charade, ratings, and celebrity-fest. More denigration of the spirit of the season. Can we just stop calling it the "Christmas Holidays"? G-daughter, in school, is singing a Kwanza song.

Saudi Columnist: Obama Will Be President of the 'United Collapse of America'
jatfla
by jatfla  11-25-2009    2
 Well...there ya' go. While I would not agree that Abbas is an ally of the US I can understand why he would consider his efforts for the Palestinian cause null & void. FTA: "Its political collapse in its war on terror, together with its economic collapse, have made the entire world sink into a political and economic quagmire." There. That's how the rest of the world perceives us and perception is reality. Hello!? Can we 'change' this and is there any 'hope'? This Administration has brought about our complete collapse in a matter of months!!! Those who deny it are willfully blind or partners.

 Not surprised. She's interesting and has a story to tell. He had someone create a few things and gave it his 'ok'. Her childhood mirrored many of ours; his did not. Her principles and values reflect traditional American culture; his reflect an anti-American sentiment that was nourished by his associations with the hate-America influences.

The Wilding of Sarah Palin
jatfla
by jatfla  11-24-2009    15
 What an amazing article. FTA: "The Left has declared war on Palin because she threatens their existence. Democrats need women dependent and scared so that women, like blacks, will vote for liberals." "Just like a perpetrator, they dehumanize her by objectifying her body. They undress her with their eyes." " As the book, Against Our Will described, the brutality is also aimed at men. By forcing men to witness Palin's violation, the Left tries to emasculate conservative men by rendering them powerless." Robin Berkeley gives organization to the confusion in my mind over why the pure vulgarity flows from the mouths of those on the Left concerning Sarah Palin. As a former Liberal and feminist, she has seen what lurks in the heart of the Leftist movement over the last several decades. "Not a movement of hope and change, it is a cauldron of hate."

Newsweek Editor: "Health Care Bill a 'Fiscal Fraud' but.....
jatfla
by jatfla  11-23-2009   
 Absolutely amazing!!! And the foolish woman believes this bill offers the "last chance"!!?? None dare scratch it and start over knowing all that has been learned over these last months. I agree that America needs some serious Health Care reform. Tort Reform would be a good start. Cracking down on fraud; ie. follow the $$$ would be great too. But when people say idiotic things such as these (and are serious!) we really are in deep doo-doo. These, who are the media influence-peddlers who have access to our citizens every day! Throw in the towel, they say. As though there is no hope for a much better bill. Where are the Leaders??

by jatfla  11-23-2009    1
 FTA: "Common sense suggests that they shouldn't do it. The basic laws of political physics say they can't do it. And yet on they march." The Dems/Liberals are committing political suicide with their determination to push through a thoroughly incomprehensible Bill that the majority of Americans do NOT want. Yes, they are headed for a train wreak and they're talking us and our economy with them.

Fort Hood gunman paralysed....
jatfla
by jatfla  11-22-2009    1
 No matter what I say I will sound politically incorrect. His victims are dead. The families of many at Fort Hood are traumatized and angry. That he has *lived* and will face a trial is very sad to me. How much will this trial cost the taxpayer when we already know that he is guilty? Will there be sympathy when it comes to executing a paralyzed murderer? Will he have a jury of "his peers"? Just another convolution of the American justice system. Take what is meant for good and use it for distortion and evil.

WH: No Afghan decision before Thanksgiving
jatfla
by jatfla  11-19-2009    3
 Absolutely amazing. Why doesn't he just say what he really plans to do instead of dragging this out, waiting for a more opportune time? He's going to undermine our military troops there and send the morale of the rest completely down the drain. Agree with the Afghan war or not...being so "dithering" is inexcusable and makes the efforts of our soldiers there worthless. My Mom had ABC news on last night (it was an accident) and I heard the news caster talk about the poll numbers showing that support for the war against the Taleban in Afghanistan were dropping. Well, YES!!! Because many of us who do support the work being done there are no longer wanting our family members there without the support of this President!!! By failing to give them what they need, requested by their General, the pseudo-CIC is responsible for those who are being killed and maimed right now.

Palin's Interview on Hannity
jatfla
by jatfla  11-19-2009   
 I was glad to watch this on-line. For the first time I got to hear her speak plainly and clearly what she actually believes about her life, the campaign, her political views, and what she thinks is important for America. Usually it's only been clips, questions requiring one sentence answers. This was a good interview. I came away liking her more.

Kiss Your Freedoms Goodbye If Health Care Passes
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I have always liked the Judge and trusted his analysis. I believe that he is right-on concerning this Health Care Bill...even with the changes (acquiescence) made in the Senate bill. This piece of legislation is so huge that I'm not sure any of us can get our brains around it. It's so obvious that Congress does not CARE about our rights or the Constitution as we know it. I do question his assertion that Republicans want to 'assault' our civil liberties; but I'm sure many will disagree.

1000s cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009    1
 I hope someone gives me her book for Christmas. I doubt that she has Presidential aspirations but I believe she is hoping to give encouragement and energy to the conservatives of America who have, honestly, lost all hope that America can rebound from the free-fall over the last several years. As much as I appreciated President Bush (and admired his wife) he was too nice those last several years and allowed the press to bash him mercilessly. Plus I did not agree with the illegal immigration issue. I wish he had pressed more for energy independence but I believe he was worn down and out by the faulty intelligence, the back-biting within his Cabinet, dealing with the causalities of the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, etc. A person can only handle so much without physically and mentally drawing down. Palin is fresh, feisty, fearsome and committed to her conservative values. That's what people hear..PLUS all the attacks from the MSM which make them like her more!!

"Shangri-la" Cave Pictures: Art, Texts, Bones Revealed
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I'm not really into these kinds of cultures but it's sad that looters have already (many times) scooted away with so much. FTA: "The folio is part of a treasure trove of 15th-century Tibetan art and manuscripts that could be linked to the real-world inspiration for Shangri-La, a fictional paradise described by British writer James Hilton in his popular 1930s novel Lost Horizon."

Health 'Reform' Gets a Failing Grade
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 From someone who should know. I wonder if he was consulted. The article is a clear presentation of the pitfalls and consequences. This Health Care Bill MUST be defeated. Then they need to start over and this time include those who actually deal with patients and the insurance issues. As I heard someone say today, it's hard to phantom that America's government cares so little for the well-being of it's citizens.

Poll: Americans want KSM tried in military court
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I can't believe that it's not 10-for-10 for the death penalty if found guilty. And yes, most Americans believe these guy will get a fair trial. But how much is this going to cost the taxpayers by having it in a civilian court as opposed to a military one? Are there going to be TV cameras? Every Arab television in the world is going to be tuned in to this circus. And finally, why doesn't the majority opinion rule anymore? and I'm talking about incidences such as this. Obama & Holder had to have made this decision on their own.

Poll: Does the GOP want ideologically pure candidates
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I use to think getting the "party" elected was the most important. Now that the GOP is synonymous with the moderate Dems, not anymore. Those in Congress, now, are all big buds who represent and serve themselves. I'm going with the ones who have records of supporting the things that I consider important....and even then you don't know what will happen to their ideology once they get elected.

 So, now it begins. When once-upon-a-time our health care services were geared toward preventive medicine NOW we are moving towards more *rational* routines. I have had several *scares* and been grateful for the outcomes, but that has not been several of many of my friends. Just fancy talk to make us more complacent and willing droids to what is coming. If you get cancer, you're not worth the treatment...too expensive under this health care bill.
