Our Area Had A Visitor...

First let me say to all our friends and family in the Mid-Atlantic and up to the Northeast...Thoughts and prayers are with you all tonight as you endure this hurricane. Stay safe....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After our garage sale on Saturday I found out from the boys former kindergarten teacher that Congressman Ryan would be making a campaign stop in our area today. I was "over the moon" excited, this was huge news for our area, no one famous ever comes here and I did not want to miss the opportunity.
Senior said I could keep the boys out of school, so they could attend. I wanted them to see Mr. Ryan and be a witness to some local history. I was happy and proud to pull the boys out of school today because not only does this affect my generation, but theirs as well....

We went through the gates around 11:45, Ryan was not due to speak until 2pm. But we went with friends and they boys had another little girl to play and chase around. I was pretty proud of both boys, they sat on a blanket and for having to wait 2 hours, they behaved very well.

Some one snuck signs in and the kids got a photo op:

 

 

After listening to several local politicans, it was finally time for the Congressman to come out on stage :

 

He first spoke about the hurricane, and concern for the folks up north. The campaign is dispatching buses to be loaded with relief supplies, and sending them in to the hard hit areas after the danger has passed. He also spoke about our local military and the impact it has. He looked across the crowd, and you felt like he was talking directly to you. He acknowledged all the children there with parents, and reminded us how the current administration is leaving them this mountain of debt. The message he spoke resonated with all of us in attendance. At the end, our applaud was loud and thunderous.

 



I have been very fortuante over the years to get to see in person our elected officials, in 1988 as a high school senior I got to see Ronald Reagan, then in 2003 George W. Bush came to one of the military bases and spoke. And now today, I can say and so can my children that we got to see Paul Ryan the next Vice President.

Obama Supporters Threaten Riots

Disclaimer: I do try to not get overly political on my blog. However, this story is being ignored by the mainstream media, and I feel it should get out there and people made aware. if you do not like my post on the subject then simply click off it.


I wanted to put this story on my blog this morning because these comments do concern me. I am worried about friends, and family who live in and around the large cities. Twitter has been lighting up recently with comments on attempts of Romney's life should he win the election.  Again, more of the same from the typical Obama supporter. If you don't believe me, then read the article, take notice of the language and grammar and look at who is doing the tweets:

Obama Supporters Continue Romney Threats

I believe that there are two types of Democrats. There is first, the kind making the threats on twitter. Promising violence if their guy does not win, I want a hand out, gimme a free phone, house, and gas type.

Then there is the second- Which is what we have in our neighborhood- Global warming, alfalfa sprout eating, Whole Food Store shopping, anti-gun and tree hugger, lets save a spider, but screw paying 3.50 for a gallon of gas type.

Since we have this second category in our community, I am not overly worried about us here should Romney win. I am more worried about those of you out in the more populous areas. People like my parents, who are elderly, and lived in the same house for over 55 years. The neighborhood once a good place to raise kids. Now its infested with high crime and blight. Should SHTF, my parents are a perfect target.

I do  know and understand this is very heated election. Probably the most important election in history. And in any election, there will be a loser and his supporters will be upset. But to riot? What level of intelligence is that? 

Many in our neighborhood have signs in their yards, we have elected not to should any acts of vandalism occur. If these threats ring true, then those with a Romney sign will indeed become a target.  So, I am encouraging you all on election night, to be alert and vigilant. Stay inside if you can, keep blinds closed, a shotgun, and battle rifle by the door-It wouldn't hurt just in case.
