Thanksgiving Day brought several high points: first, the nice phone call from the Secretary of my Division when I was part of the work force; next, the news that Lloyd is pleased with the healing progress after his ankle operation; next the wonderful brunch and visit with Sam and Shirley and friends (marred by Shirley losing a treasured earring;) and lastly, Julie and Jade came to my place for a visit in the evening.

LINDEN FORGETS OBAMACARE
Well, maybe “neglects” should have been used instead of “forgets.” How could any unbiased person completely forget the terrible Obamacare law foisted off upon a mostly unconscious American public by Obama and his democrat toadies. So, today Linden will neglect Obamacare in favor of a few words concerned with the horrible events which, mostly with the blessing of the inept President and his stooge, Kerry, occurred in Iran and Afghanistan and will be a blight upon at least one Christian family and the civilized world. The three links below further address these subjects.

Monday started with biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A where I also worked the Sodoku puzzle. From there, went on to Big O Tires where I had the auto tires rotated and had an enjoyable conversation with a lady from Avon. Then on to the post office and a bunch of not real great mail. Dan and Diana dropped by for coffee and conversation (and a few peanut butter filled pretzels) in the afternoon. I corresponded a bit with Brian and Alison.

STRIKE 8 ON DONNELLY
If Richard Mourdock had been elected Indiana Senator in 2012 the three strikes and out rule would still be in effect. Unfortunately, those easily influenced joined with the MSM to ensure Richard’s defeat. This eighth strike is called on Senator Joe Donnelly for his joining the forces of Reid and Obama in doing away with many years of rules and tradition when they opted to mangle the Senate approach to filibustering. Reasons for the previously called seven strikes are listed below.
1-16-13 Failure to oppose Harry Reid for Senate Leadership
2-18-13 Supporting Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary.
4-2-13 Voting for the Senate “budget.”
4-10-13 Supporting “gay” marriage.
6-14-13 Immigration: against first securing the borders.
7-3-13 Other immigration related votes.
11-22-13 Votes against Republican healthcare solutions.

STRIKE 7 ON DONNELLY
Yes, Linden is aware that it is usually three strikes and you are out. Sadly this rule does not hold for those who have been elected to “serve” in the Senate. In a black day for Indiana and the nation, democrat Joe Donnelly was elected in 2012 as Senator from Indiana. Strike 7 was called on Reid and Obama clone Joe for his continuing wrong votes for each of the bills the House presented to avert the damages rendered by Obamacare. The first six votes were called on Joe for his not opposing Harry Reid as Senate leader, supporting Chuck Hagel for Sec’y of Defense, voting for the Senate “budget”, support for gay marriage, not securing the border, and his immigration related votes. Those Indiana voters who did not oppose Joe should be ashamed.

Thursday began with the largest crowd yet at our breakfast with the guys: five of the six regular attendees were present, with Jack being absent. Our guests from Ghana joined us as did PCC members Lloyd and Jim. Also, Joe, who usually eats alone, joined us. It was a fun time together. Paul gave the prayer and message. I had lunch at the Milano Inn with Sam…continuing the 30+ year effort to dissolve what was our birthday club: half of our original four members have passed on and we still don’t have it dissolved. Richard and Enoch started their return trip to Ghana.

REP. JOE WILSON WAS CORRECT
Now that many of his former supporters no longer view President Obama as being a paragon of honest virtue, perhaps it is time to revisit the mostly liberal outrage of roughly four years ago when Wilson called out “you lie” while Obama was speaking at a joint session of Congress. The events (most rarely reported by the MSM) since that time have led some of us to believe that our President is a serial liar. Wilson may have been less than gracious but it appears that he was honest. Perhaps they should worry more about honesty in Congress and the White House and less about decorum.

New Jersey Governor Christie has apparently been chosen by the media as the one the Republicans should choose as their nominee for the next Presidential election. This of course is not the same as the media supporting him once he is selected. Recently there have been several articles mentioning Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and, at this point, Linden would prefer him. The below link to an article addressing Walker was actually the second choice for a link…couldn’t get the first choice to work.

As Linden ages, he is more and more apt to develop the condition known as “weak stomach.” This is perhaps why you will rarely find him breathlessly engrossed in watching our President deliver a press conference message.

TEA PARTY/THIRD PARTY
There is little talk, outside of some in the media, of the Tea Party Members breaking off their association with the Republican Party and forming a third party. No, the talk centers on defeating the anti-American democrats and considering the replacement of those weak-kneed Republicans who are self -serving rather than doing the job they are elected to do. As a Tea Party member, Linden believes this is the proper approach for the good of America and, further, believes that Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee performed a great service in working to do away with Obamacare. The voters should not forget that the Senate democrats were essentially 100% supportive of defeating all Republican efforts to do away with Obamacare before disaster strikes. The Thomas Sowell article link below is a good one.

Maybe. First, we would have to determine just exactly what being disrespectful of our present commander-in-chief would consist of…calling him a serial liar would not appear to qualify…saying that his period in office has been a disaster for America would not appear to qualify…saying that he has insulted the military would not appear to qualify…the list could go on and on.

VETERANS DAY

There are many of us and those WWII veterans (and many of those from my Korean War days) are passing away at an increasingly greater rate. Those were days when the playing of the national anthem and recitation of the pledge of allegiance brought tears to the eyes of most of those witnessing. The school were practically universally involved in promoting pride in America and it was expected of all the population. How far we have sunk!!! We have those in Congress who have made a career of tearing America down and you would know who they are if you cared enough. The article linked below continues with this thought and the reason for Linden writing this blog is closely linked to continuing this fight. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

SENATORS: THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE

If you are easily entertained, you may find it amusing that so many democrat Senators who voted against every House bill which would have averted the current healthcare debacle are now concerned regarding their re-election next year. Maybe they should have read and understood the bill before they voted for it. A bill of over two thousand pages that is rushed through to passage does not recommend this bunch for re-election to an office that requires dedication to the well being of our country. Please contribute to those who will oppose this bunch of incompetents next year. You will notice that they are more concerned about the web site becoming operational than they are about the harm the law will do. The article linked below is good.

LIBERTARIANS LOSE IN VIRGINIA

Or did they?…it depends upon what it is they wished to accomplish. Some things we know: the Republican candidate did not win; the democrat did win but received less than 50% of the votes cast and the Libertarian was said to have been bankrolled by democrat activists. The election results mirrored those of the 2012 Indiana Senatorial election which resulted in a democrat being elected. For years, Linden thought the Libertarian Party was made up of conservatives on steroids…now, perhaps they should just be considered to be an arm of the democrat party…much like the media. The article linked below is well written and makes sense.

OCTOBER CHRISTIAN STUDIES
The Sunday morning message was led three times by Steve White and once by Tim Gephart. The sermons were based upon the book of Ephesians. The Sunday school lessons were led twice by Mike Isaacs and twice by John Lee. The book of John was that which was studied.
We met for Wednesday evening dinner only three times…each dinner was followed by Tim Gephart teaching from a variety of biblical references. The Thursday small group men’s meeting included readings and prayer presented by Paul, Jack, Bill and myself. The Friday early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast was led three times by Steve White and once by Dave Odor. The study focused upon the book of Isaiah. 
As usual, I attended the monthly men’s meetings at Kingsway, Chapel Rock, and CDCMF. The CDCMF meeting this month was at Connection Point in Brownsburg. . CDCMF supports Camp Allendale
The work is progressing at Plainfield Christian’s children’s wing  and the blacktopping of the additional parking area is now happily completed.

On Saturday, I arrived at Wal-Mart at 9:00 and neither I nor Donna LaRoche could find the snacks Jack mentioned. I then went to the post office, installed my new license plate, and watched disappointing football.
Sunday brought church and Sunday school attendance followed by brunch with friends. At church Donna presented me with a gift of the peanut butter filled pretzels she had tracked down after I left Wal-Mart and Barb McGrew gave me a DVD that Lee Seitz had sent. I appeared several time on a TV show he hosted about twenty years ago and I was sure that he had sent me copies of some of those shows, YAY! Unfortunately I couldn’t get the DVD to play so, more about that later, I hope. Watched the Colts eke out a victory in their late game.
