Today is Thanksgiving Day. For many of us older folks, it is a truly special day. It is a day to give thanks for the great nation we live in, in spite of the corrupt and clueless beltway blowhards who are trying to destoy this country, one spending program at a time.

I would particularly like to thank:

> My nephew Stephen and special friend Ryan who are probably enjoying cold turkey delivered by a donkey in Afghanistan. Keep safe Stephen and Ryan.

> All the millionaires and billionaires who pay most of the income taxes in this country. In spite of the Blowhard-in-Chief's efforts to demonize them (while raking in campaign money from them), they will remain one of the most important parts of our society. People like liberal billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have built fortunes the old fashioned way, through hard and intelligent work, while "saving and creating" and making rich hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the years.

> OWS (Obama's Welfare State) for making me appreciate the freedoms we have. This misguided collection of misfits, moochers, and spoiled brats remind us of the vocal part of the 47% ot the people who do not pay taxes. They are not part of the 99%, but part of the 47% who are the takers from government. The OWS crowds should turn on the TV once in a while and look at all the poverty and misery there is throughout the world. Get off your lazy, spoiled and soiled asses and find a job, any job. If you are any good, you will eventually make out. This is America, where the opportunities still exist if you are willing to make the long term sacrifices. If you don't like the capitalisitc system, work to change it the non-violent way, or move to Greece or Egypt. To quote Pandemic Pelosi, "and that's that".

> The conservatives in this country who have the courage to speak out against the spending and entitlement madness that is growing to insurmountable levels.. It is easy to pander to the masses, It is much more difficutl to tell them the truth.

> Finally, to the calendar, which reminds us there is only one more year to stop all this hopeless change we were promised three years ago.

HAPPY THANSGIVING!




Happy Thanksgiving, Stephen and Ryan -- stay safe!
