THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT:
On Tuesday, a page two article in The Indianapolis Star reported that the Secret Service was investigating a Facebook poll which asked if President Obama should be killed and presented four possible answers. Quotes by a SS spokesman were, “We are aware of it, we will take the appropriate investigative steps” and “We take these things seriously.”

Shortly before reading this article, Linden had stumbled upon a blog posting which addressed the lack of reporting and lack of action when threats were made against President Bush. Linden, having no memory of any reporting attributes it to the lackadaisical media and to the possibility that governmental bureaucracy has a tendency to differentiate it’s service based upon the political leaning of those involved.

If you wish to see examples of the threats made against President Bush, please visit the link below. It is a long posting and, these people being what they are, the likelihood of filthy language appearing is almost guaranteed.

FOR THOUGHTFUL READERS:
Linden believes that thoughtful people, readers or not, have to be concerned about the direction and leadership of our country. Although it is early, it is not too early to start sharpening our opinion and knowledge of those who have been identified as possible Conservative candidates. Please sharpen your opinion by reading the following two links.

THURSDAY POLL:
The recent Values Voters straw poll in D.C. showed Huckabee to be the most popular among the voting attendees. Romney, Palin, Pawlenty and Pence essentially tied for second. Surprisingly, neither Gingrich or Jindal were in the top five. It is early and polls mean little at this stage and of course, this could be something other than a candidate suitability poll.

Feeling that our Thursday morning breakfast meeting should also have a poll involving the seven contestants mentioned above, Linden presented it and these were the results: (1) Pence, (2) Palin, (3) Romney, (4) Gingrich, and (5) Huckabee. Pawlenty edged out Jindal for last place. Pence, a well known Hoosier conservative, was hardly a surprise winner. Linden could easily support a Pence and Palin ticket.

The print news regarding the Obama approach to intelligence and the Mideast along with hearing snippets of his disgraceful speech to the U.N. or some other group of clowns left Linden so out of sorts and ashamed of his President that he decided to use the following forwarded email contents as his subject of the day.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, they don't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don't eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal wants all churches to be silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

TILTING AT WINDMILLS:
Linden spends very little time praising any of the democrats: the reason is simple—they almost always are not worthy of praise. Condemnation, maybe but praise—almost never. This posting will depart slightly from this practice.

Zell Miller, the former U.S. Senator from Georgia, has always impressed Linden as being a thoughtful man of principle. It is unfortunate for our country that persons such as him are in such short supply among the democrats who are currently “serving” in Congress.

It is quite possible that in the early days of commentary posting, Linden did mention Zell Miller but memory is faulty. What Linden is sure of is that he has long supported the thought Senator Miller outlined in regard to the 17th amendment as is mentioned in the link below.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
It was just another in a long series of days where I accomplished less that I intended when the day started. Intended to do a couple loads of wash but allowed that intention to die unfulfilled. Did visit the credit union and went to a store and purchased a new cutter for my electric razor—it now does a better job. Also saw my auto mechanic and scheduled some maintenance for next Monday. I have a hard time accepting the fact that I really have to do almost nothing. You may wish to check the links toward the end of this posting and check on reports from Kisses from Katie.

CHILD PROTECTION "INAPPROPRIATE"

CHILD PROSTITUTION "INAPPROPRIATE"
Linden rarely encounters a Sunday morning when he does not find himself enjoying services at his church—he does, however, understand how one could fall prey to the siren song of sleeping in. What he does not understand is how one could willingly watch a series of Sunday morning interviews of President Obama by our inept network “news” purveyors.

While listening to the Laura Ingraham talk radio program on Monday morning, Linden heard a statement by our President that he found to be more than a little troubling. In it, he appeared to address the advice given by ACORN employees regarding the bringing in of foreign children for the purpose of child prostitution. He called that stated effort, “inappropriate.” A master of understatement he.

Laura said that if she had been conducting the interviews, she would have asked, “what are your plans to kept the U.S. #1 in the world?” If asked, we may hear, “uh, uh, uh” forever.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Since this posting is prepared prior to watching of the Colts football game, the high point of the day is undoubtedly a very pleasant lunch with Diana and Jan. That may also be true after the game. Oops…I finished my evening meal at around 5:30 and at about 5:55 received a telephone call which I thought was a reminder of a 6:00 meeting at church which I had forgotten about. I made it there very quickly and ate again—brats, sauerkraut, potato salad and carrots.. brought the dessert home. Good meal and I was stuffed, good program and a really good day: 100 men from 13 different churches attended. COLTS WON!!

Linden believes in attempting to serve and in today’s perilous times for our country, what better service is there that attempting to educate the unwashed masses? Or whatever it is that we call that great body of undereducated and unthinking voters.

In his posting Friday, he attempted to shine a light on frivolous charges of racism. Compared to the link that Linden will now provide you, he failed on Friday. When Linden received the message below, he copied it and pasted it to The Indianapolis Star and The Hendricks County Flyer. Perhaps you will consider providing your local paper with this enlightenment. The American Thinker link takes you to her great column and the common sense regained link is to her personal web.

Dear Readers,It's high time to go on offense now. And what better way to start than by putting the old, tattered, overly-wolf-called race card in its place and let the people using it know how utterly anti-MLK it really is. This is the most disgusting, truly depraved thing the Democrats have done in a long time. And y'all know that's really saying something.I've said it all here in my syndicated column, which can be read today on American Thinker:
Sorry honey, but truth trumps the race card
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/sorry_honey_but_truth_trumps_t.htmlIf you like the column and think it would make a nice addition to your home town newspaper, how about forwarding them a copy and asking them to contact Creators Syndicate and subscribe to it.Yes, I know, this is purely shameless self-promotion, but if I don't do it, who will? I'm a capitalist right down to my unmentionables, honey, and darned proud of it. Warm regards,Kyle-Anne-- Never underestimate the value of your God-given common sense. www.commonsenseregained.com

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at my church and, later, Jack and I went to the State Police Retirees luncheon and had a nice visit with old (in more ways than one) friends. Jim had intended to join us but Ailine got sick and he stayed with her. In the evening, since Helen had joined Jack’s daughter, Jan, in going to a women’s retreat, he and I went to dinner at a restaurant that I will visit again.

Saturday: I attended a prayer breakfast at Kingsway church at 7:30 and then, at 10:00, a writers group meeting at Brownsburg Library. Watched some football and listened to the I.U. game after returning home.

Sunday: Morning church and Sunday school service. At 2:00, went to a 25th wedding anniversary open house at church for Dave and Madonna Watson. It was very nice and Tricia fixed what may be the best cake I’ve ever had. Brought some home!! Then, I attended the first evening church services of the year.

REGARDING RACISM:
There has been much talk lately correlating criticism of some of Obama’s desires with racism. Bills supported by the administration are often judged by we conservatives to be detrimental to the traditions and constitution which has successfully guided our country since it’s beginning. To cast these judgments as being racially motivated is more than an injustice! When the news media is responsible for this, they are being worse than incompetent.

Should not the black gang attacks on lone white teenagers in Buffalo, NY and Belleville, IL be given the same level of news coverage as was the falsely charged Duke lacrosse team not all that long ago. To not grant it the same type of coverage is a failure to fulfill the responsibility of the profession.

Did President Obama lie when speaking to Congress? Many say that he did and, if so, what can possibly be racist about saying the man is untruthful?

The focus on race has been largely pursued by democrats and the question remains—is this focus to divert attention from those bills which should never become law? That may be the case with our nut-case former President, Carter.

REPLACING THE NEWSPAPER:
Since Linden has almost completely lost faith in the ability, or perhaps it is interest, in newspapers providing news, he spent a large portion of the day listening to talk radio. Mentioned were three significant things that he had not read about in The Indianapolis Star. Perhaps it was a vision problem.

The first, which he had previously heard mentioned on talk radio, concerned two investigative journalists and their discussion with members of ACORN about how to bring underage foreign girls to the U.S. for the purpose of using them in a whorehouse. They got lots of advice about how to set up a shady operation. As a result, ACORN is in danger of losing some of their access to taxpayer money. YAY. Seven Senators (all on the left, naturally) were not in favor of ACORN losing any of your money.

The other two items concerned black gangs badly beating white youths in Buffalo, NY and Belleville, IL. Obvious racial connotations. What has happened to what we used to count on for news coverage??

Below you will see links to some comments referenced above.

Linden continues to be surprised and disappointed in the lack of interest the mainstream media has in the continuing protests that have affected the lives of millions of citizens. They invariably underreport attendance figures—that is if they deign to report on the events at all.

CATCHING UP:
Since Linden almost always prepares his posting the evening before it is actually posted, he was not yet aware of the two 9-11 pieces he is presenting today when he did his 9-11 posting.

The first is another presentation by the talented Kyle-Anne Shiver and the second is a video which contains pictures and a well sung song. The third, in an effort to depart from the somber thoughts created by the first two pieces, is funny indeed.

Link to great Shiver 9-11 piece: feel free to send the link to the editorial section of your local newspaper. They frequently can not find things like this:

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday I attended the Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00 then went to the store, post office, and credit union. Had a wonderful surprise—Brian came by and brought me a new belt and a beautiful coat. We each napped in the recliners before he headed for Bloomington.

Saturday I worked on my board game project for a while then went to the Indiana State Police Pioneers meeting with Jack Burlison and Jim Peva. Had a good time and ate good food. Was tired when I arrived home in late evening.

Sunday brought church services and Sunday school. Shortly after I returned home Brian came by—his rugby reunion left him stiff and sore but not really injured—his neck hurt because his head had been forced into the ground while he was under a pile of players and he was kicked in the head once. Otherwise he was ok. We went to an Irish pub and had an Irish breakfast. Really good! We then napped in the recliners and he headed back to Ohio. Called about six hours later to say he made it in good shape and was not overtired. I love to see my kids.

JOE WILSON:
Several references have been made to S.C. Rep. Joe Wilson shouting, “you lie” as President Obama was saying that the democrat healthcare approach would not cover illegal immigrants. Wilson later apologized for the shout not being appropriate. Perhaps it was.

If, as been often reported, the existent bill is carefully worded to allow coverage without checking the citizenship of the applicant, then, it appears that Wilson may be correct. This bill is a disgraceful mish-mash of undesirable approaches to a problem that is not yet as severe as is often reported.

Since the President has apparently not yet (if ever) rewritten the bill, if the legislatures do not dramatically revise what they have produced to date, and if the democrats continue to not allow the Republicans to change the monstrosity, then, it would appear that Wilson, although perhaps acting inappropriately, was correct. A bill of this length (over 1,000 pages) has to be written as it is for the purpose of making it difficult to fully understand. Disgraceful!

Had the usual thoroughly enjoyable breakfast with the other four guys. At 11:30, the Golden Glows had a pitch-in picnic at Hummel Park. The food was good and a good time was had by all. When I returned home, I was very tired and did not discover until later that I had neglected to take my morning medicines. I must become more careful.

MEANINGLESS WORDS:
Well read they were and few, if any, were offensive. But, verbal promises from a person who is not famous for being truthful means little. These words, which addressed healthcare for our nation, will not mean a thing until they are contained within a bill. A bill which is not rushed to vote and is carefully dissected and critiqued by many knowledgeable persons before coming to that vote.

Some of Linden’s thoughts and roughly edited Obama statements now appear: his words will appear in italics.
Lots of taxpayer money was represented by the attendees.
Too much applause for nothing yet accomplished.
We were facing bad times but have pulled back from the brink—the loss of over two million jobs since he took office is not much of a pullback.
Losing coverage can happen to anyone—except those in attendance and many others.
No plan to kill off senior citizens; to insure illegals; to fund abortions; tort form will be addressed; and Obama will not sign a bill that adds one dime to the deficit—as Linden said, this is meaningless until the bill is crafted.

THEY APPARENTLY RETURNED:
Well, it happened—several comments were heard from Nancy Pelosi and the news reported that President Obama had delivered his promised speech to school children. Actually, it was not the speech first promised which was little more than an effort to recruit the youngsters to the service of Obama. Nope, it was considerably watered down and could have been and probably was delivered by many parents before the children left for school.

Linden also heard mention of the lack of news about the background of Van Jones, the recently departed “green czar.” “Good riddance to bad rubbish” is an old saying that seems to fit here. Those who make decisions as to whom to place in positions of importance within the administration display about the same amount of good judgment as did the majority of voters in the last Presidential election!

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Attended the early morning GOP Roundtable breakfast. The speaker presented views on the healthcare situation. His talk was well received. Also, Marlon Stutzman, another person who seeks to replace Senator Bayh made a short but good presentation.

I saw Craig McKinney out on the property in the afternoon and told him the location of the yellow jacket entrance near the goldfish pond. They will probably soon be gone. He and his group have done a wonderful job of making the property look better. Also, he told me he had my CD in his truck and thought that a couple of the songs were worth bringing to the attention of those more talented than me. Not his exact words but I was pleased. I was a little shaky today so did little more than was necessary.

GOOD, BAD, THEN GOOD AGAIN:
Linden has been patiently waiting to report to you when, to the best of his knowledge, The Indianapolis Star would provide an edition that mentioned neither Michael Jackson nor Ted Kennedy. Linden believes September 7 to be that day. GOOD!

Our President and the Congress are expected back from their frequent, long, and well paid vacations today. Since to this point they have nothing good, Linden call this BAD!

If you will watch the following three videos, you will say—GOOD!

NOT YET AN ENDORSEMENT:
However, if first impressions remain as they now are, an endorsement at a later date is quite likely. I met Richard Behney in Hendricks County some weeks ago and was very favorably impressed with him and with his lovely wife, Laura, in the short conversation I had with each of them.

Their efforts in behalf of the Tea Party movement has earned much appreciation for them and, now that he has filed for the Senate seat currently occupied by Evan Bayh, Linden would expect continuing support if he breathes the words we conservatives long to hear from our candidates.

Regardless of who earns the primary election support of the Republicans, there are a few things that Linden believes this candidate should promise:

They should POST A BOND to uphold their promises.

They should promise to not vote FOR any meaningful bill that has not been thoroughly read, notated, and reviewed with his/her staff.

They should promise to keep their primary residence in Indiana.

They and their spouse should promise to donate any monies earned through serving on corporate boards toward the public debt.

They should promise to not seek a third Senate term.

They should strive to return the government to a constitutional and conservative form.

Linden will undoubtedly think of other items that should be part of this list: feel free to share your thoughts with him at lwdcomment@aol.com

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00: Sandi came by and cleaned my place while I was there. Julie came by later and took me to lunch at Panera Bread. She had lost her voice in Tulsa and still was not feeling great. Nice visit though.

Saturday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Kingsway—good food, good meeting. Had a book signing at Secondhand Stories in the afternoon. It moved me just a shade closer to being able to fund a fishing boat and net for a needy person through IDES. Regular readers know that sales have already enabled me to fund two goats and a water buffalo earlier in the year.

Sunday: Church and Sunday School services followed by brunch with friends. Attended the funeral for Jessie Dennis later in the day.

HEALTHCARE FEAR

HEALTHCARE FEAR:
It seems that much of the news coverage on Thursday had to do with Obama making a speech to school children (Linden touched on that in his morning post,) but by no means should we forget about the effort to get any kind of a healthcare related bill through the process. Linden fears that the weak kneed within the Congress will celebrate minor concessions and cheer over passing what will lead to a major disaster for our country.

The effort by those straight thinkers within the minority should focus on delaying any action on healthcare until the subject is studied and understood by both the Congress and by the taxpaying public. The bill then presented should be no longer than 100 pages and should be understandable to the vast majority of the populace.

Any Congressman voting for something other than that which is outlined above should be voted out of office at the earliest possible moment.

Thursday was another of those days where Linden had slept very poorly the previous night and was a deadhead all day. He did attend the usual enjoyable breakfast meeting and did just a little bit of work on his projects. Mostly was in a mental fog. Watched a little bit of football in the evening.

BRAINWASHING?
Although Linden failed to notice any mention of the upcoming September eighth Obama presentation to schoolchildren in The Wednesday Indianapolis Star, he did hear it mentioned several times on the radio and found the link below to a great Michelle Malkin piece addressing the subject. He is also presenting a link to the teacher engaged in brainwashing.

Since our President has demonstrated time and again that being truthful is not one of his strong points, it behooves each of us to be very careful in our analysis of what he says. Many youngsters, and, unfortunately, many oldsters, have not yet developed this analytical ability.

It is Linden’s fervent hope that the Indiana educational authorities will refuse to allow this to be presented in our school systems. Please check out the links.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Went to grocery stores and post office. Did some ironing and had a good call from Brian. We had our first church Wednesday night session of the fall season: fried chicken, baked beans, corn on the cob, salad, coffee, and maybe the best strawberry shortcake I’ve ever sampled. Also had a very good study session.

Sixty years ago on Sept. 3, a totally oblivious Linden married for the first time. About five years later, while Linden was in Alaska, she found a better bet. Had an extremely negative effect on his life for a number of years. Here is a sonnet that appears in one of my books:

PRETTY RUTH

Linden H. Swift

When I was young and really stupid
I felt an arrow shot by Cupid
There was so much I did not know
But I could not control my libido.
So there I was on bended knee
Asking Pretty Ruth to marry me.
The first years went by in a blur
And I mostly got along with her.

The Air Force then became my duty
So I left behind my raving beauty.
Months later came the “Dear John” letter,
She thought she’d found someone better.
Ruthless was I for a span
Then I became another’s man.
