Time to start blogging again

We only ask the Government to live up to the responsibility that the citizens of this country have entrusted to them. That is to provide good government for the people, by the people and to protect the rights of ALL citizens. We depend upon our Government to provide a place for us to practice our religion and not have to fear another group denying us that freedom. The United States is polarized in many ways, and race is at the top of the list.

new job

Yeah! I started my new job this week. I have never had a desk job so this is going to take some getting used to. I have my own, desk, cubicle and phone number, imagine that! I think I am going to like this. I will have to make sure I get to the gym on a regular basis or I will be getting fat.

election results

what kind of stupid idiots live in St. Paul????!!!!! who in their right mind would vote to increase their property taxes? I cannot believe it! they passed the school levy! it is bad enough that pawlenty we re-elected, he started this fiasco in the first place but it does not surprise me that he was elected again. what does surprise me is how many people bitch about their property taxes then vote to have them raised. this is just unbelievable. pull your head out of your collective asses people!!!!

and the transportation levy, that passed as well. does this mean I don't have to pay my $239 right-of-way maintenance assessment? is the city going to maintain my street and alley for free???? I think NOT!

I can continue to pay taxes upon taxes and yet I do not have the same rights at my neighbors. I can pay to send their children to school but I cannot have the same rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. you want my city, state and government taxes but you do not want to afford me the same rights as everyone else. and they call this freedom! AMERICA!!! what a joke.

operation iraqi freedom, when do we get operation american freedom?????
