Happy Thanksgiving!

It's that time again: time for food, family, and football, right? Well, not entirely... It's time to remember all that you have to be thankful for this year; it's time to remember those who help make those things possible; and it's time to remember that we live in the greatest country on Earth. It's time to thank the Almighty for His blessings, for His guidance, and for His patience with His children.

This year the list of things for which I am truly thankful includes:

* the health and happiness of my family and friends;
* my health and the ability to provide for myself so that I may help others;
* the brave men and women of America and like-minded free countries who volunteer to give their all for higher ideals that will make this world a safer and better place;
* the strong and generous families who stand by those courageous men and women;
* the people who are able to separate fact from fantasy -- I'm proud to call many of them friends;
* the few Right-minded individuals in positions of power who stand by their principles regardless of polls, negative rhetoric, and nonsense;
* the patience of those who know the road to freedom is never smooth; and,
* the grit and determination of every man, woman, and child who works for freedom within his/her life and within his/her world.

If you're not sure what you have to be thankful for, let One Marine give you his point of view on the matter. It may open your eyes and change your own list!

This Thanksgiving, as in years past, please remember those Americans who cannot be home this year to share the day with their families. Set a place for them in your hearts and in your prayers. It is only through their courage and sacrifice that this country remains free.


Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
