OK-another take on the C-130--quote from a friend of mine:
"I know you love your C-130... and you see it in it's medivac and transport roles... but here is a SLIGHTLY different take."...
Our guys love it the bad guys do not!

The C-130 - flare signature - Angel's Wings-
the C-130 is a troop transport plane
is also used as an hospital plane for our BEST--
and its flare signature is in the shape of angel wings--
By Accident- I don't think so-- I believe God smiled when the pilots and ground crews first saw the signature in photos :-)

CASH for KIDS-School Pays Students/Socialism at its best!

Wonder who is footing the bill-taxpayers or unions using taxpayer $$$$
Some folks seem OK with welfare-Detroit was destroyed by the welfare mentality...
Big Incentive for School Attendance-CASH
ST. LOUIS • Stacey Wright had more than a dozen choices when it came to enrolling three of her children in an elementary school, from charters to magnets to traditional public schools in every corner of the city.
She chose Jefferson Elementary School, the brick St. Louis public school across the street. And for that, she may get $900.
For the first time, a local organization is offering parents a cash incentive to enroll their children at Jefferson. The money is limited to students who didn't attend the school last year. To get it, the kids must finish this semester with near-perfect attendance and receive no out-of-school suspensions; the parent must attend three PTO meetings. The program is being offered to families in three mixed-income housing complexes surrounding the school, where most of the students live.
Wright, an in-home caregiver, recently moved with her children to north St. Louis from Oxford, Miss. She's eager to get involved at Jefferson, located at Hogan and O'Fallon streets.

To My Aussie Friends-A Song for 'Our' BEST--Diggers

Because your BEST are my BEST too!!! and you know how I feel about our troops!
h/t Caroline:

Australian Country music star Beccy Cole wrote POSTER GIRL (wrong side of the world) as a response to a letter she received from a fan after she spent 2wks visiting Australian Soldiers overseas.

The fan wrote that he would be taking her poster off his wall and would not be listening to her music anymore.

Beccy was quoted as saying "That when I met the troops I become patriotic and really proud.


Remember - the Aussie Firefighters running coast to coast to remember 9-11:http://carolmsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/aussie-firefighters-us-run-coast-to.html

Hidden Message? The Twin Towers-

When I first saw this fabulous illustration-I thought-"My Gosh!-an hidden message!"
The artists of old -like Goya- used to use hidden messages in their works to expose the corruption in the church and government--

Let's not forget that our 'royals' in government have allotted our tax $$ for mosque restoration world-wide:quote from Politics and Government article:

"This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents."

I have to add-$$ for our troops are being cut-$$$ for mosques are not!-

This illustration was rendered by Gerard Dubois for TIME mag.
What do you think? Hidden message?!!

Vote Candidate 2-Ft Hood Soldier-shot by ...

the murderous thug - Hasan- and nearly died- does not get the same US $$$ support as those injured in Iraq-Afghanistan-
He will win this vehicle if you all vote-Candidate 2

Candidate 2 This candidate was at Fort Hood, TX Army Base Soldier Readiness Center checking in after returning from a second tour in Iraq. He was 5 days away from going to Officer Candidate School and pursuing a long time dream of becoming an Officer in the army. That all changed that day when one man that this candidate had never met, came in and started shooting. The gunman's goal was to kill as many Americans as he could and then take his own life.

This candidate saw the laser pointed at his head and was shot 4 times.

This candidate's fiancé was an undergraduate senior at Boston University, one semester away from graduating with a degree in Psychology. She had just been on the phone with him an hour before and knew what area of the base he was on. She later found out that her fiancé had been shot in the head and was in critical condition and probably wouldn't make it through the night.

When she got to the hospital he was alive, but in very serious condition. Most of his skull on the right side had been shattered and a part of his brain had to be removed from bullet and bone fragment damage. Later the next day, he awoke and asked her how she got there so fast. His next sentence was, "Will you still marry me even though I got shot?" Without hesitation she replied with a kiss and a, "I most definitely will."

It was truly a miracle he survived. His left side was completely paralyzed, leaving him unable to walk or use his left arm. After just a few short weeks he was able to be moved to the Neuro Rehab Center in Austin. After hours of extremely painful therapy every day, he was beginning to walk.

before posting this-I voted Candidate 2-by clicking-'vote for a winner' on the left side bar.

HARD HAT PLEDGE-Ground Zero Mosque-NO

The creator of 'Hard Hat Pledge' Andy Sullivan- stated:

The grass-roots movement is gaining momentum on the Internet. One construction worker created the "Hard Hat Pledge" on his blog and asked others to vow not to work on the project if it stays on Park Place.

"Thousands of people are signing up from all over the country," said creator Andy Sullivan, a construction worker from Brooklyn. "People who sell glass, steel, lumber, insurance. They are all refusing to do work if they build there."

"Hopefully, this will be a tool to get them to move it," he said. "I got a problem with this ostentatious building looming over Ground Zero."

War Moves to Art Form-Horses to Planes

one of my great passions is horses--and it is my take that the mounted military is now our flying forces--
The moves you are going to see are natural movements of horses in play and in herd dominance - and were used and trained for the use of horses for war --the mounted troops had speed and the fear factor-
You will notice that one of the horse's moves is the half pass-where the horse moves side-ways--it was utilized to move ground troops out of the way!
I could go on with explanations for each movement -another time--Dressage means training-and it now an art form:This is one of the finest rides I have ever seen and others agree! I first posted this in 2008 -near the beginning of my blog experience and before I knew how to embed!

Another Military Officer Wants the Proof of bho's US citizenship...

I have just joined the ever growing cadre who want proof of bho's U.S. birth--
I have two reasons for doing so :
l) the Constitution says a President must be a US born citizen

2) $$$- I don't want to fund bho and his 'moocher wife' for the rest of their lives-$200,000 a year/security details & +++++ et.al

This is from a favorite site from New Zealand! I've noticed that some of the 'overseas' sites show a love of the U.S. that our own President does not!

I was wondering if any other Armed Forces personnel would join Lt Colonel Lakin in his brave stance against the fraudulent President, and now the news has at long last arrived. Major General Jerry Curry, a decorated combat veteran, has issued a video statement saying he agrees with Lakin that the President must provide genuine proof of his US birth and allow that proof to be scrutinized. (as John McCain was required to do over his Panama Canal zone birth)

Curry served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Carter Administration, as Press Secretary to the Secretary of Defense for the Reagan Administration, and has worked in international relations, public affairs, management, aviation, and research and development.

General Curry regrets that soldiers are bearing the responsibility of confronting Obama. “It shouldn’t be the Lieutenant Colonels, Sergeants and Generals in the Army it should be the Congressman and Senators on both sides of the issue asking this man to step up to the plate”. And he’s damn right about his. It has always completely baffled me that an issue that is so important to the effective governance of the US and its security should be ignored by so many of the very people who should be more concerned than anyone.

h/t Threedonia:

BEST in Iraq Won't Be Coming Home in August/One Wounded -Protecting Iraqi Citizens!

You'll enjoy reading the article by Major Sullivan on the situation in Iraq and he also gives an account of a 21 year old Lt. wounded in combat - protecting Iraqi civilians-a brave young man:
http://www.lohud.com/article/20108080368-Maj. Mike "Sully" Sullivan:
"Standing there watching this 21-year-old lieutenant earn the nation's oldest medal for wounds suffered in combat, I could not help but think this was the best America had to offer. While people his same age were job hunting, enjoying Friday nights out and doing what young adults do, he was protecting Iraqi civilians he'd never met before in his life and was hit by flying, razor sharp shrapnel as a result. Be proud of your soldiers; they are like this around the world."

My (Carol's ) take>>>
As you all know- I am concerned about our soldiers fighting a war with the new RoEs or- to better phrase it- their hands tied behind their backs---
The enemy uses their own civilians as shields because the enemy has no honor --I also remember accounts of UN military -raping-pillaging -Do you?
Our BEST have honor--This is another example of our BEST :

Citizens COURT SLAPPED Again -Cal.Prop 8 Struck Down..

It is time that we look at an issue that is all too often overlooked- the un-Constitutional usurpation of power of the court systems of this Republic---

Remember that the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court -John Jay - left that post because he knew that it did have enough power or influence - according to the Original intent of the Constitution to do what he wanted done for his state!!!!!....

There have been many court decisions that went against the vote/will of the citizens-Three come to mind for me:
CA Prop. 187- voted 1994--no tax payer $$$ for illegal aliens' health care-education-et al-- in other words the people of California voted that they did not want to give a free ride to another country's citizens who were in CA illegally-STRUCK DOWN in 1999 -by a liberal court...
CA Prop.8- voted 2008-marriage to be between man and woman---STRUCK DOWN today by a liberal court...
AZ 1070-2010-state mandated that it would mirror the Federal Law on illegal immegration-
STRUCK DOWN by a liberal judge-2010..

IT"S TIME to wrest the un-Constitutional power of the courts...and put it back in the hands of the various legislative bodies..

GOD Shoved Out-Dark Side (Lucifer ) In-Where Are Our Christian Leaders!!

Before I post Judge Roy Moore's take on the U.S. situation - I have two points--
1)The 501c3 was pushed through by the debauched Lyndon Johnson in the late '50s to shut his critics up--and-
because the Christian leadership did not know the foundational history of the United States much less their Biblical history- that the church was never to be taxed (much of the Constitution was based on the first five books of the Old Testament-Temple could tax but was not to be taxed) and -
thus by allowing itself to NOT BE TAXED (superseding existing mandate)- the church allowed itself TO BE TAXED and thus - SHUT UP!!!
Now Christian leaders are AFRAID to speak out against EVIL because they may lose their tax-exempt status-(501 c3) SHAME ON THE CHRISTIAN leaders...

2) Judge Roy Moore -a West Point graduate-and veteran--
posted the 10 Commandments in his court --
the ACLU and traitors in the government - forced him to take them down--
only a very few "Christian" leaders spoke against that ruling- they were AFRAID of losing their 501 c3 rating--the Dark Side (Lucifer's Kids) won again-
Some of us who have been in the battle for this Republic for a long time - wrote letters and spoke out but- as I recall - only a very few Christian leaders like--Jay Sekulow and Pat Robertson -spoke out...

This poem - I was told - waaay back when--was authored by Judge Roy Moore:
It about says it all:

America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb

You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee..

~~Judge Roy Moore~~

To say that I am passionate about this issue of the silence of the Christian leadership would be an understatement!
Let's get rid of the un-Constitutional 501 c3!!!

National ID Card-for the Good of the People!

CA Senator Diane Fienstein brought the National ID card to the front after 9/11-
It would have had a 'tamper proof' chip/strip--and its purpose was to stop 'immigrants' from flying planes into our buildings and - of course- stop illegals..RIiiiiGHT-- (SARC) --
We knew then and we know now that a National ID card serves no other purpose but to 'allow' the Federal government to track its citizens!!
I don't want the government to track its citizens --For the GOOD of the PEOPLE!
We stopped it then --now it's baaaaaack!!

The Dark Side's (Lucifer's techniques) freedom suppressing ideas -proffered by his kids- never go away-they just come back in a slightly different form! and Conservatives are 'buying' into it now!--

I watched a group of AZ citizens being questioned on the 1070 issue (AZ law on illegal immigration) on Hannity last night-one mentioned that it it now necessary to have a National ID Card!!
NO-NO - A THOUSAND times NO!!

I just found this take from a woman who languished in a Cuban prison--it is well worth your time to read----this is an expert from Ana Rodriguez:
...An identity card. It sounds so benign. You might call it, as Calif. Sen. Dianne Feinstein does, a "machine-readable card that all job and benefits applicants would be required to present to verify their work or eligibility for assistance." Or you could call it a national ID card and work permit, because that's what it is. Or you might just want to call it a passport to hell, because for a lot of us, that's what it will be.

At the very least it will put every American's right to earn a living at the mercy of the federal government's whimsical computers. And at the very worst -- which, history teaches us, we have every right to expect -- it will be a brutally effective tool for the surveillance, manipulation and punishment of anyone who runs afoul of Washington's imperious corps of social engineers...
