Nov. 22, 2012 at 10:33amDon’t you just love our Conservative Reporters, they confess to be Conservative but they cant do math. They can direct us to take survey that mean absolutely nothing. Yet, they can’t even tell us:
How many people received Obama phones – I hear one figure was 10 Million
Who pays the Monthly Service for Obama Phones – 10 million x $20 per phone = $200 Million a month – Am I wrong! I don’t know. Conservatives wont tell me.
How much does the US Govt spend to send out just one Welfare Entitlement per year. My math says it Cost $80,000 per year to pay one recipient and they get around $10,000 per year. Let’s save $10,000 and throw Granny off the cliff, and we will allow the $70,000 per year in waste to slide.
I wish a Candidate like Reagan would come back and teach us how much Govt waste – Reagan had a large amount of Welfare Recipients vote for him, because he campaigned on cutting Waste not Recipients. In fact, he gave WF recipients a raise after he cut the waste.
Conservatives did not learn from the past and it cost us an election.

Nov. 22, 2012 at 10:39amHappy Thanksgiving to all, and may God Bless America and keep his hand on our military and bring them home safely. My wife and I will be spending with our children and grandchildren, along with my parents , and my dtr in laws family. It is not what you have it is who you have, family and friends beat out the material things. When I think of where I am going, in terms of where I have been, it make me glad to know my Lord that I’ve been born again. Thank You Lord for everything.

Nov. 22, 2012 at 11:35amI like how –after all the big talk– virtually nobody is volunteering in their communities. That’s OK…neither am I. I’ll be at work until 8PM and then will spend my thanksgiving with pizza and ice cream while watching a movie on Netflix.
Then up and at Walmart tomorrow morning. Sig Sauer M400 Enhanced 5.56 for $847.00
Early Christmas present for myself.

Nov. 22, 2012 at 1:10pmHappy Thanksgiving to all The Blaze staff, readers and to all who celebrate and do not celebrate.
I personally do not celebrate Thanksgiving because I live in a World where I’m Grateful everyday. Today will be like yesterday and tomorrow. A Jewish friend once asked me if I go to Church and was surprised when I told him no. I told him that Monks are in a constant state of prayer and we only stop long enough on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings for others to talk with God. I have spent many years in training to find 2 things to be grateful for in any and all circ-u-mstances no matter how bad they may seem and writing a Gratefulness Journal every night for all the things I was grateful for that day. It makes one extremely sensitive to the smallest of Joys. Everyday is Thanksgiving for me.
I share with you all my favorite prayer which is the first thought when I awake, sing throughout the day and is my last thought when I go to sleep at night….
Into Christ’s Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know again.
Into Christ’s Presence will we enter now…
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I know what you mean. America used to be a kinder, gentler Nation.
I mourn her loss of morals, character, and good will toward others.
I miss the freedom. I miss feeling secure, and protected from our enemies.
I miss the Constitution. I miss being One Nation, Under God.
