My husband and I were at a local restaurant on Veterans Day and some kind person paid for our lunch. We don't know who, but thanks very much.
Leaf pickup
I have raked and blown my leaves and my neighbor's, and there is still no sign of a leaf truck. The wind keeps blowing them back. One truck will not do it.
Ayn Rand
This year, the movie "Atlas Shrugged" [based on the book] by Ayn Rand opened. This edifies those who have money and hold onto what they have. Ayn Rand in her old age didn't have money. It's a good thing there was a government in place. She had to be talked into going into Medicare. It's good to have a government that cares, and I'm certainly glad Obama got four more years.
Secession talk
The states that are wanting to secede from the union are being childish. I don't know where that's coming from, probably from the party that lost the election. Let's see how they do after the next disaster.
Sewage problem
I was hoping someone would regulate the dumping of sewage on Randol Avenue. I don't know how they can get away with endangering people in the area. The city should look into this instead of inventing problems that don't exist.
Dems, Kennedy
It seems the Democrats have done an about face from when John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Now it seems like it's all about taking.
Stock market, Obama
I noticed Obama's theme for his re-election was "Forward!" I don't think the stock market caught on to that, because it keeps going down since he got re-elected.
Who's running things?
Does it seem odd that President Obama said he didn't know anything about Libya, Fast and Furious, Petraeus or Allen? Who is supposed to be running the country? It's not the president; he doesn't seem to know what's going on.
America, Europe
It turns out the Europeans are way ahead of us. They turned socialist way before we did, and they've run out of money so they're cutting back. The people are starting to riot because they don't want to cut back on spending. It will happen here. I just hope it's not too bad.
Superstorm Sandy
I would like to comment on the tragedy of superstorm Sandy. My heart goes out to those people. They are hard-working taxpaying people.
Comments
Kind person: Pass it on.
Leaf pickup: Just burn them, if the police show up ask them to help you rake them back up.
Ayn Rand: Who?
Secession talk: Somebody seeking 5 mins. of fame.

Who's running things? The 1%.
America, Europe: Those who ignore history will repeat it.

Since I didn't win the Powerball last night, I am reporting from SEMO.
Re the last published comment: How does the writer know that the Hurricane Sandy victims....."are hard-working taxpaying people"? I expect it's the normal mix of folks....good people, criminals, shysters, children, religious and non-religious, taxpaying and tax evading folks.
Just heard BHO saying "I couldn't be prouder of Susan Rice."
Sounds akin to Bush after Katrina. "Heckofajob,Brownie."
On December 17th all liberals in the State of Missouri join the more rational citizens in casting their votes for Mitt Romney.
Dr. Doom and Gloom I received an email and checked it out with snopes that it was indeed true. Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. Description: []
More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida . Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003
The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma , a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set back for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it -- But ....
Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway .
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.
By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either
Guess what...who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
I think it is more than a few people talking. Lots of people are talking and speaking up and out on several issues that also concern many in the other state. The radical changes that have happened in the last 4 years has struck a nerve with many. So we will just have to see what happens.
I'm really digging these freedom threads. Let freedom ring!!
They will try to take our guns. I hope we don't roll over like the other countries that don't allow gun ownership.
"I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands"
KAC: You might want to research more yourself on Oklahoma.
Oklahoma did pass HB 1804 in 2007. However the number of illegal immigrants in the state increased 36% between 2007-2010. This is a larger increase than Missouri and most other surrounding states which had no such similar legislation passed. Citation: http://www.pewhispanic.org/2011/02/01/ap...
Unless "They all scattered" means their population grew by more than 1/3 over the next 3 years ;)
