sometimes...we must think about what we say.....like this story...

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

I can't tell you how many friends have sent me this story in emails...and I can't tell you how many times...I have thought about this story...and how it reminds me of my own moments...of foolishness...and each time I remember a word I spoke that altered a relationship...

The truth is we love because the act of loving gives us something. That something is hard to define...but it is there, holding us up, and giving us the gift that was promised...we love, because we must...no other thing is as important...

So...never give up on those you love. Never stop believing in them...and never turn your back on those you call friend. You see...you might be a soldier...making a call...let's hope the person on the other end of the
phone...loves unconditionally.



Listen...we all need to be cut a little slack...and that is just the way it is...so to all those who have loved me...thank you...and to all those who I have loved...welcome home...soldier...


Love,
The Lass

Oh...and comrades...there is still time. Don't give up on our wonderful system of government...we can still salvage...this great democracy...and economic system. I haven't given up El Cid. Your daughter is not a quitter...just a little discouraged.

a song...a chilling reminder...what were they thinking?

There are songs that light up the soul...they inspire us...they transport us. So is it any wonder that song has been used..to make something appear to be something it is not...

The left's view of the world seems to take form in song. They love to "sing" their way through ideas...and that is not a new approach at all.

That is why the song of Obama's choir has had such a chilling effect.

How so? Well the internet is now full of the explanation...and examples of why you do not use children to deify a political person.

But Lass, you are being so hard on these people. What harm can come from such innocent voices singing the praises of a leader?

Hmmm? Let's think about that.



But Lass, that is clearly unfair...Obama is no Hitler.

You may be right. I am sorry.


He is the One...beg your pardon...and here is his little ditty...


Lenin described the supporters of communism in the US...as "useful idiots". Well, he was right.

These parents are as foolish as the parents of brown shirts, Mao's children, and Lenin's children...and you get the picture.

We do not sing praises of our leaders...not even JFK had a song...dedicated to his being elected. Why can't you find any other songs to presidential candidates? Because never before, has there been a cult of people...so devoid of any vision...that a song...was enough to inspire them to vote...or even to use their children...for political gain.

Oh...and for you music/political songsters out there...here was a secret weapon...used to defy those who would use children to support their vision...



so...the lesson here? Do not use children for your cause. The result of all this? A nation that has been torn apart...now has reason to fear our fellow citizens. I never thought I would see this here...in our great country...but I have. And I for one would like to say...


and for those of you who "do not like politics"...because it causes such discord...or hate...goody for you...you no doubt will be singing the songs to your new leader....or whatever singer you want to emulate....like I said...Lenin was correct..."useful idiots"...I am counting on a few million "hockey mom's" to help change their tune.

Love,
The lass
