He said WHAT?  Governor Mark Sanford said today that this Buenos Bimbo is “his soul-mate!”  And that he is working on “falling back in love with his wife” and mother of his 4 children.    As if that’s not bad enough, he also says he “crossed the line” with “other women”, but did not have sex with them.

Well, you’ve already told us TMI so come on, what was it…groping, kissing, feelin’ up, oral, and I’m not talkin’ about talkin’ about it…WHAT?

He has lost it and also lost any respect from the true conservatives in this state that elected him to office 2 times. How can the people of South Carolina, his family, and even his so-called friends have any respect for a liar and cheater who chose Maria Chapur over his boys on Father’s Day week-end.

THIS IS SIN…pure and simple. THIS IS WRONG…and we have to get him out of office!

For certain, I too, have fallen far short and realize we all sin…but, for heavens sakes…we have, should and will always hold these elected officials to a higher standard.  He has lost it!!  LITERALLY…and as far as working on falling back in love with his wife…If I were in her position, the only thing he’d be working on is meeting with my attorney and packing his khaikis.

GET OUT!!

We are watching a MID LIFE MELTDOWN.  And quite frankly, I am worried about the 49 year old Governor’s mental stability, or lack thereof.

Hi everyone!  I was thinking about those combat wounded Marines who are in our area (at Keowee Key)  for some R and R, and it brought to mind an email I got from my hubby, an old Marine, about how truly special these men and women are.  Want to share it with you!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, BUT THE U.S. MARINE CORPS WILL PAY MOST OF YOUR
SHARE -

There are two types of People. Marines, and those who wish
they could be Marines.

MARINES AT WORK
Those Damn Marines

I wonder how many times during Operation Iraqi Freedom that
the phrase “damn Marines” was uttered. Even in the best of times, Army and
Air Force officers have been heard muttering some epithet about Marines,
invoking either heaven or hell. Interesting enough we Marines find it all
rather reassuring and, at times amusing.
Most of the time, Marines do not go out of our way to be
obnoxious: we are just doing what Marines have done for over 200 years. A
good example is the fact that Marines always raise the American flag over
mountains or cities they have conquered. From Nassau in the Bahamas, to
Mount Suribachi, to the City of Hue, to Kuwait City, to Baghdad, U.S.
Marines have raised the Stars and Stripes; in the latter examples, much to
the chagrin of higher headquarters. You don’t get these kind of problems
with the Army.
So what is it about the U.S. Marines that they stick U.S.
flags on everything and do more with less, a less that is old or an Army
hand- me-down? We call it Esprit de Corps, but it goes deeper than that. We
learn and maintain myths of the past, which also means living up to those
historical examples. Marine Corps boot camp is the longest of all the
services; it is where we mold young men and women into the mythical image
called a Marine. You can be in the Army, you can join the Air Force, but you
become a Marine. All of the other uniformed services have a song; the U.S.
Marines have a hymn. The basic pattern of the Marine Corps uniform comes
from the late nineteenth century; our emblem “the Eagle, Globe and Anchor”
has remained largely unchanged since 1868. The buttons on our dress blues,
whites and greens date back to the founding of our Corps. The Marine Corps
is the only service that requires its officers to carry a sword, whose
pattern dates back to 1805. I think that the path of being a Marine was
established long ago. On the 10th of November 1775, the Marine Corps was
first established…..in a tavern. To this day, no matter where in the world,
Marines celebrate the founding of our beloved Corps, much to the confusion
of the other services.
A few years ago, a congresswoman from Colorado felt the Marine
Corps was radical and extreme. She contended that the Marine Corps was not
politically correct, nor did we seem to be part of the Department of Defense’s
transition to a “kindler and gentler” military. She was correct, and the
Marine Corps took it as a compliment.
But the proof is in the doing, and during Iraqi Freedom the
Marines demonstrated what Marines can do. I watched with some amusement as a
reporter asked a young lance corporal about being in Iraq and being under
rifle fire. “Love it, sir!” was his response. The reporter was taken aback
and asked “No, really..” The Marine then tried to explain that this is what
he was trained to do, he looked forward to doing it and was now happy to be
doing it. No doubt in boot camp he was told that he was “a minister of death
praying for war.” Contrast that with the Army Apache pilots who said that if
they had to take a life, they would do it reluctantly. You are either a
warrior or not.

Marines are mission oriented. Live or die, the most important
thing to a Marine is accomplishing the mission. Whether taking a bridge,
river or town, accomplishing the mission is the holy grail of being a
Marine. How the mission is accomplished is not so important, as it is
expected of all Marines to accomplish the mission with the tools available.
This is why we heard that Marines in one engagement were fighting with
knives and bayonets. This was hardly high tech, but it was effective. These
Marines now have bragging rights, for they have proven that they
talk-the-talk and walk-the-walk. I doubt there is a single Marine who is not
envious.
Marines are practical, as well. I enjoyed hearing two
reporters interviewing each other, one embedded with the Army the other with
the Marines. The reporter with the Army noted that the sandstorm had blown
down many of the solders’ cots. The other reporter countered that the
Marines did not have this problem because they slept on the ground. The
Marine learns to live with what he can carry on his back. He expects to be
moved about the battlefield via his two leather Cadillacs (boots). If he is
lucky and gets to ride on an amtrac, so much the better; but is not
expected. At the end of a mission, the priority for cleaning is weapon, then
equipment and finally, body. When the other services talk about “quality of
life,” they are referring to housing, clubs and food. Marines are talking
about better weapons, equipment and training, winning the battle and coming
home alive is considered “quality of life.”
All this translates into combat power. In comparison to the
U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, the Marines of I Marine Expeditionary
Force were lightly equipped. Yet, they battled through the heart of Iraq,
fought to the center of Baghdad and then moved off to Tikrit, taking that
city as well. The press was so enamored with the Marines that in the final
days of the war they even credited the Marines with deeds actually
accomplished by the Army. Little wonder we heard “damn Marines!” so often.
So we need to give the Marines some slack when they do
something politically incorrect, such as raising the flag or appearing
insensitive when killing the enemy. In the field, they look sloppy compared
to the Army, but are aggressive in the attack and generally unhappy in the
defense. Marines take pride in their work, even when that work is war. We
are just Marines and that is what we do.

Being a Marine isn’t everything…it’s the ONLY thing.

Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have
made a difference in the world. Marines don’t have that problem.”
President Ronald Reagan , 1985

***(Improvise- Adapt- Overcome)****
An unofficial mantra of the Marine Corps based on the fact
that the Corps generally received Army hand-me-downs and the troops were
poorly equipped. Despite this, the Marine Corps has been successful mostly
because of the creativity of its people and their success-based attitude.

Thank GOD for The Marines!!

I just wanted to take a second to tell you dads something that maybe you haven’t heard in a while. You are so much needed and appreciated!  Your children need you and yes, your wife needs you, too.

It drives me nuts to read the articles about men being unimportant in their children’s lives!  I recently read something about men being totally unnecessary  in fertility treatment and that this was “especially good for lesbian mothers.”

What it is, is especially sad.

I believe that God created a man and woman to be a mother and daddy to raise children.  Dads are so important in the lives of his children and his wife.   It’s time they got the respect they deserve for being good fathers.  Fathers who are there and who are spiritual leaders for his family.  Child support is NOT enough!  Not at ALL what I’m talkin’ about!

That support check can’t teach your baby to see the love between you and your wife, it can’t cuddle the little one when they wake at night crying, it can’t teach them to throw a ball or solve a math problem. A boy learns from his father how to grow into a good man!  Moms can do so very much…but, I truly believe it takes a good father to teach that little boy what it looks like to be a man you’ll be proud to call your son!

Be there!!  I certainly see in the life of our children how important it was, and is,  to have not only for a good husband but a good daddy who taught them so very much.

THANK YOU and HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO HIM…AND TO YOU!!

Talking about David Carradine.  He was 72 year old and still busy acting in a number of films, movies, etc. I remember him in Kung Fu when I was young.

Well, as you know, he was found hanging in the closet in his Bangkok hotel room recently.  Lots of interest into what happened!   Was there foul play involved?  Some deviant sex act?  There has been talk recently that he was found wearing a wig and black fish net stockings!  Some reports say he was hanging by his neck and genitals.  YOU’RE KIDDIN ME!

There have been lots of crazy (OR ARE THEY?) scenarios … some suggest the actor’s unexpected death was a suggestion by Carradine family lawyer Mark Geragos on “Larry King Live” that the veteran star may have been killed by aome sorta secret society of assassins because of his efforts to uncover the shadowy societies in the martial-arts underworld. (BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!)

His 3rd wife, Gail Jensen, said in a recent interview that Carradine like to get tied up … he could tie himself up … he spent days planning it all…loved going to hardware stores to buy what he needed to do the job.  WACKO!!

It has also been said that in 2003 divorce papers filed by Carradine’s 4th ex-wife, Marina Anderson, that the cause of their divorce was because due to what she called abhorrent and deviant sexual behavior that had created problems within their marriage.  YOU THINK?
Anyway…you never know what goes on behind closed doors…(closet or otherwise)… THANK GOODNESS…but, it does make you wonder!

According to a new AP-GfK Poll,  just over half of Americans say torture is at least sometimes justified to stop terrorist attacks and they were evenly divided on whether to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.

These latest findings were of interest to me as I questioned what these people surveyed think “torture” is all about.  To me water boarding is horrid, from what I have read about it anyway, but it is NOT torture.  I just read a story that a British man held by terrorists was beheaded this past Sunday the 31st of May in Mali.  Now that’s torture!

52% of people say torture can be at least sometimes justified to obtain information about terrorist activities from suspects.  More than two-thirds of Republicans say torture can be justified compared with just over a third of Democrats.

As far as closing Gitmo, why?  Where will they go?  Wouldn’t you rather them be held there than here on our soil?  Even consider their own safety…wouldn’t they be safer kept APART from the general American prison population.  I think so!  The survey found that on Obama’s plan to close the Guantanamo prison, 47% approve, while 47% disapprove.

Seems to me our President is far too concerned with what the world thinks about us …and according to this poll most Americans have faith in him, with 70% saying they are confident of Obama’s ability to address terrorism. REALLY!  WHY?

Almost 8 years after terrorists struck us, more than a third of Americans say they worry about the chance that they or their loved ones may fall victim to a terrorist attack.  What about you?

This AP-GfK Poll was conducted May 28 to June 1.  It involved interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1%.
