OK, I got this over at Midnight Musings (www.anitalottahelp.blogspot.com/)so I figured what
the heck give it a try.
Here is the deal, you have to Google your Christian name followed by the word "needs" and see what you come up with. According to the rules of the meme, you have to list TEN phrases. Like Pam, I did not “click” on any of the websites. I suggest that you follow suit.
The following are My first name' needs:
A. Ronald needs a home where he gets a lot of attention (Ya, everybody loves “Munchkin” more).
B. Ronald needs his gun back (Gotta get them pesky crows).
C. Ronald Needs A Friend (Don’t we all?).
D. Ronald needs a transplant (A Butt transplant, mine has a crack in it).
E. Ronald needs a whopper (NOT).
F. Ronald needs food to eat (Lots of Vietnamese and Chinese, got some?).
G. Ronald needs a minimum of 9 x 9 ft (It takes room to run around in circles).
H. Ronald needs a patient and committed family to advocate for his special needs (Breakfast in bed, someone to fan me when it is hot and someone to cut my meat and potatoes).
I. Ronald needs a Passport (Why, where am I going?).
J. Ronald needs help (Sure do! My shrink said I do not have an inferiority complex, he says I am inferior).
Now, type in your blogging name also followed by the word “needs” and see what you get.
The following are my Blogging name “Needs”:
Gregori needs to argue (Well, I don’t really need to, but I love to).
Gregori needs medical attention (Gosh, that’s scary!).
Gregori needs more dimensions (Guess my gut isn’t fat enough).
Gregori needs more convincing (No I don’t, I know the world is NUTS).
Gregori needs to explicitly link to another host's blog (You want me, you got me).
Gregori needs to put all of the unreal games into one unified story (Hmmm that will take some doing).
Gregori needs to remain prominent (Yea, I want to be a SUPER STAR).
Gregori needs to lighten up (I will when all of the liberals are deported to Mars).
Gregori needs your company (Just bring your own bottle).
Gregori needs to look perfect (Does anyone have the phone number of John Edwards’ hair dresser?)
Gee, wasn’t that fun?
Now for something serious: The following is a copy of an email I sent to Bill O’Reilly following his show tonight. Mr. O’Reilly made some rather disheartening remarks concerning the proposed Immigration Bill. He says that he will reluctantly accept it because it is the best we can do, and we cannot possibly send back the illegals that are here. I DO NOT agree with that statement at all, and it led me to write the following:
Mr. O’Reilly;
I really don’t expect that you will even read this and I certainly know that it will never make it on the air, but as I am mad as hell over what is happening to my beloved country.
I don’t know if you believe it or not, but from everything I have seen, the majority of American citizens are literally sick over this proposed immigration bill. You attitude on to nights show, when you said that you will reluctantly accept it because it is the best we can get, is indicative of far too many Americans. We are losing, if we haven’t already lost, our country and it is because of that attitude.
For far too many years, the decent people in this country have allowed the moral values of our nation to be whittled away because we allowed our politicians to negotiate and give in to evils such as abortion and gay rights. When voices like mine, crying out in the wilderness, that we were heading down a slippery slope, we were told that we were being paranoid. Example:
When they first started pushing for the Right of women to murder their unborn child, we were told and promised even that it would only be if the mother’s life was endangered and in the cases of rape and/or incest. We were also told how it would ONLY be in the first trimester of pregnancy. Folks like me warned that if we gave in, it would eventually be abortion on demand, for any reason and at any stage of pregnancy. We were called liars and fear mongers and we were told that would never happen. WHO WAS RIGHT MR. O’REILLY ?
When the gay rights groups began to push for more and more rights, using the ruse that they just wanted equal treatment at work and in being able to rent apartments and houses, the decent people warned that this would lead to more and more demands and then finally same-sex marriages. Again, we were told that we were wrong, we were hate mongers and we were homophobes. Our elected officials caved in to their demands and what happened? They next demanded the right to act as foster parents; they demanded the right to adopt children and the government once more caved in. Then they demanded that their filthy, unnatural life-style be taught in the schools and now the conservatives have been forced again to cave in and slowly, one state after another is caving in and allowing legalized same-sex marriages. So, again, WHO WAS RIGHT MR. O’REILLY?
Now we are told that like it or not we HAVE to grant AMNESTY to the millions of illegals in this country, and that it is IMPOSSIBLE to round up the illegals and deport them. This is a lie. We have immigration laws, and if our ELECTED officials refuse to do the job for which we elected them, then it is up to WE THE PEOPLE to do it. I know that you will feel that I am wrong, but this is supposed to be a government by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE and of the PEOPLE. Those whom we elect work for us; we DO NOT work for them. If we cannot get them to do what we have elected them to do, either through the ballot box or through the courts, then we The People, have the right and the duty to secure our country ourselves and if this means doing at the point of a gun, that is our right.
There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that gives any elected official, President or Congressmen/women the right or the power to do whatever the hell they want and ignore the people who elected them. This violating of the Constitution, on the part of those whom we elect, has gone on for far too many years and we are getting totally fed up with it.
This business of giving illegals free medical/dental, giving them low income housing, giving them free education, and then telling our law enforcement that they have no right to question the legal status of the illegals, has got to STOP. The little “slap” on the hand treatment that employers get for hiring illegals has got to STOP. Telling us that it is not possible to round up the illegals and send them back, all the while allowing millions more to sneak in has got to STOP.
It is your type of attitude that is causing us to lose the “Culture War”, and it is causing us to lose
