Who Would The World Elect?

Vote and see

McCain promises to cut Sarah's Pork Barrel..

Sarah Palin, Trojan Horse of The Religious Right?

I don't think I am far off describing Sarah Palin a Trojan Horse of the religious right. (men using religion to take control).
I stand firm about this election, and how men who are using Sarah, even as a token female to get YOUR vote, are from the religious right, and are doing what men have done for eons, taking power anyway they can get it,. And what has been the primary way men have gotten power over the centuries? Yes, religion. It is the single, most powerful way to gain power, and the story of Troy and The Trojan Horse is an excellent metaphor for how this can happen from inside our country, whose freedom we fight away from home, to keep our form of freedom, and how it is actually being threatened by those inside our borders, not so much the terrorists our supposed leaders point to, to get your eyes off this eminent danger here at home.



Don't fool yourselves, the loss of freedom won't come from outside our borders, it will come from within.
Keep government balanced, support essential issues; freedom, population, environment, and resources. These effect the whole world, and are issues world wide, and are key. All other issues come under one of these key issues.

Here is the Trojan Horse, greeted by those who would have fought this intruder off, and here is Sarah Palin, the Trojan Horse of the Religious Right controlling men, our soldiers are fraternizing with her... so are we!
yes it is true..think about it..

Why Obama? Simple answer...soo simple...

Pennsylvania was the first Colony to allow different religions to come here. (In other colonies, one had to be a member of the faith of that colony to come to live there).
Philadelphia means, The City Of Brotherly Love. It was our first melting pot. It was my home , my birth place, and birthplace of our constitution.
(Pa was a religious experiment)

People came to PA to escape religious persecution. The constitution was written to protect those of us who wanted freedom. I see that threatened by people who are trying to rewrite history, foolishly, as they follow men who want to use religion once again as men always have, for power.
I take it very seriously.

We all should, never, forget America was established on these principals.

We fight wars to protect others from taking our freedoms, and we're supposed to lay it down to those who would work inside this country to reelect those who would destroy it's freedoms??

I don't think so..

More Snow and Fog

This is taken at a state park near Winthrop, NE of where I live.

It's simply beautiful beyond description. I think snow has so much appeal.

 Everybody has to be fascinated with snow! no?

VOTE with Accountability!!

This election requires that each individual votes with a sense of being personally accountable to every person on the earth for what comes from their vote. We have seen how this country weighs on other countries world wide. We are both smaller and larger than ever, connected to each other, we are each others life line.

The Republicans have brought us contempt world wide, and will bring further disgrace. As Americans we give our stamp of approval on this by voting in support of  the party of Bush and Cheney. We should be impeaching to show the world we don't agree and are not part of this. I used the Jefferson manual to send in my vote for impeachment over a year ago.
It is the only way to get our rights back, to restore our constitution, and live freely. If we don't do this, we will live to regret it only once......forever!

It isn't time to elect a beauty queen, never will be a time to elect a beauty queen who could and most likely would become president. She is a joke and should have been laughed at by everyone right away. McCain is not a well man. He has, I'm sorry, one foot in the grave already, he is already stiff.
The big picture doesn't just include facts the media produces, because facts are elusive anyway, aren't they?

Some facts are hard cold though, like the earth, population over load, dwindling resources and environmental concerns.
Our waters are polluted by China's pollutants, we have high levels of mercury in our waters. No one survives with a bad environment, and certainly McCain/ Palin are scary folks, very scary when it comes to ability to be realistic or visionaries, not to mention , can you imagine her negotiating anything?
What would McClone and Falin ( as Alaskans are now calling her, her rating falling badly there, she sold her soul, they say) do about pollution and population? I think we know the answer to that, drill baby drill, and make more babies..

Fundamentalists who don't care about the planet, because they are waiting for Jesus to come save those with their narrow cultish beliefs shouldn't be 'allowed' to hold office. As much as they  believe what they do, I know it is simply a cult.

They have forgotten the Jesus that delivered The Sermon on the Mount, and who taught we are to take care of what has been given us, to be good stewards of the earth, and each other. They are following men who use religion for power, an age old story. Palin is their token woman, but once in power the US becomes a theocracy, all women will be subordinate, take it to the bank. Look at Iran, They wanted theocracy, (1979) and now live in hell.

I know they'd think I am from the devil, but so far from the truth, I understand their dilemma. I understand how opening yourself up to love and awareness, also makes one vulnerable to beliefs given when you're open, and the plastic brain can cement some feelings with some fearful beliefs. That's where they are, scared to death to love and not believe cultish beliefs handed them during a time of openness. "They are free, but!" Fear is no excuse tho, we must have courage, All of us, do what is right, we know in our heart, if it works. Beliefs belie heart.

Jesus was compassionate and unlike the cultish fundamentalist idea of him.
If he does come, he won't be happy with fundamentalists who follow men, and not love.

I have to speak about his because the vote is being weighed heavily by very organized covert fundamentalist leaders.
James Dobson, not McCain chose Sarah Plain, the token woman of the republican party designed to appeal to silly people. He pressured McCain to choose her. He knuckled under as he did about torture. For a brave man, he acts cowardly.

My stance is look to at the big picture, even if you think Jesus is coming, ask this, "will he actually be coming for you if you have not learned unconditional love, and only care about those who believe as you do?" I think not.

We are supposed to learn to help each other. Remember the good Samaritan?
We aren't to fight about who is right or wrong on abortion, we're to work together to educate and provide birth control for women and men. Work together, be peaceful.

Solve problems!!!
We're supposed to get somewhere..collaborating.

" Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God".... remember??
Resolve conflict, love is the answer, always has been, always will be.

This vote is an opportunity to love your fellow man in every part of the world by voting for a peace making visionary who is ready to deal with problems we all face, realistically. The Republicans can only create wars, and destruction, and if Jesus doesn't save you, you'll know that you are the cause of all of this and I wouldn't want to be the one with a burden like that on my shoulders.
In my side bar go to theocracy.org, watch the video,, vote with integrity..and personal responsibility because I will hold you accountable. I will be accountable.

Peace

See , Do it Yourself Impeachment in my side bar..Do IT!

(

(Impeach for Peace researched a method for impeaching the President or Vice President using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson’s Manual"). This document actually empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves. )

I'm ready to go to the snow....Winthrop wonderland..

Snow for Ivar in Norway from Washington!

Pumpkin pickin Time

This is an old photo..

but yesterday, I was in a pumpkin field alone, sitting on a pumpkin just like I am here, only alone.

Butcher knife in hand (borrowed from an antique store)

and buying pumpkins on the honor system for 1.25 each... at a place in the Bow/ Edison area of Washington.

 I bought a few squash too, renews your faith in humanity to buy on the honor system.

You drop your cash into a small building in the field..

I love pumpkin time, I sat there and called my girlfriend in VA..

Technology and fall festivals,, ahh, what a strange contrast..

Wishing for Snow

I can't help myself,,,snow is so bright and ...cool!

Remnants Of Summer blooming...

We had sun today.

 I am in Bellingham tonight, it was beautiful along Chuckanut Drive.

 I saw several blue herons.

This basket hangs out my dining room window.

I think tonight it may freeze, at least freeze is predicted here in Bellingham...

Almost pumpkin time, and then snow.

 In fact we have snow in the Passes... Hooray!

Thought of you Michelle...

Summer 's ended

Roller Coaster At Seattle Center..

I won some toys there this summer...ahh it went so fast...

Just thought this was interesting

My car in the night light..after 11PM

Cedar Stump At Mt Rainier National Park

If you could see the red of the cedar, you'd think it bled to death. (Like so many old growth stumps that rot in the woods). But actually they become nurse logs and stumps that new trees grow out of.

Alaska Ferry, Columbia...me

a slideshow of me here....over the years..
my slideshow

Alaska Ferry

Aboard The Columbia, and sailing The Inside Passage To Alaska..be sure to bring tie downs for your tent.
Ok, so maybe it is a bit late to set sail, now that the days are getting shorter, but still possible, and you can rent a cabin room, but seriously, every Friday the ferry leaves from Bellingham, to Alaska, and it's a much nicer trip, I think, than a cruise ship.

They have a great restaurant, and a snack bar, and the views are incredible, and it's affordable..

Check out The Alaska Marine Highway.

International Fountain Seattle Center

This fountain is a favorite with Seattle Kids and grownups alike, at The Seattle Center, it's the hub of folk life activity, and plays music and spurts water. I swear it has an operator that tricks kids into getting wet. A job I'd love to do for a day...

Ummmm, some scenes need no introduction

Since I haven't been out and aboat as The Canadians might say, this is from last summer at Dutch Lake  Resort in BC.

Escargot Begonia it is!

I asked and JM told me it was Escargot,, 

good name for this begonia.. 

Thanks for everyone's interest..

Begonia rex ‘Escargot’ is attractive and hardy. It might just be the perfect house plant, as it resists diseases and insects. It handles all but the worst neglect. Best of all, crop production is fast!

Begonia rex ‘Escargot’ gets its name from the unique way that the leaf curls in on itself, creating a spiral effect that resembles the shell of a snail. Someone in marketing was thinking when they devised the more sophisticated name of ‘Escargot’ over the less catchy "snail begonia". The name sells the plant.

The deeply spiraled leaves of Begonia rex 'Escargot', marked in bands of silver and green, are the hallmark of this hybrid that drew quite an audience when it was launched in the United Kingdom and U.S. 

Cultural Information

Soil: Light, well drained, e.g. peat and perlite, pH 6.2-6.8

Spiraling Begonia

I don't recall this begonias name, but I had to have one. It has been neglected terribly, yet is a monster in my bistro room..

Anyone know the name?

 I think it is some Rex Begonia.
