Holocaust Love Story Sham

Herman Rosenblat IS a holocaust survivor. He did, however, write a fabricated tale about how he met his wife. According to his memoirs, which have been nixed by the publication house, he met his wife through the fence at the concentration camp he was a prisoner of.

He was a Holocaust prisoner, that much of the story is fact. He was held at Buchenwald. He did not meet his dear wife there. He met her in New York and they have been married for fifty wonderful years. He stated that he falsified the tale because he enjoyed bringing hope and love to others. He meant well, but has he done more harm than his message of hope would have brought?

In an era where nations are trying to discredit Holocaust historians and decry that the Holocaust never even happened, falsifying stories is the last thing we need. This will make people skeptical of the ones who tell the truth. I remember hearing a Holocaust survivor speak at my school when I was in junior high. I talked with him, saw the numbers tattooed on his arm. My grandfather served in WWII. He fought against this horrendous atrocity. I have seen the pictures, the video; it was one of the worst moments in our world's history. It needs to be remembered, not doubted.

Rosenblat probably has an amazing story to tell, a true story. A story that could have inspired and touched thousands. Now we will never know...

Saltsman Mix Tape

The Saltsman Remix

What on earth made him think this was a good idea? Its not the "negro" word that I am freaking out about (unlike most people). I've read a lot of people who are 'outraged' calling the song racist. Chris Rock and tons of other comedians make a large sum of money poking fun at white people. As a white person am I outraged? No. Do I think Chris Rock is racist? No.

However, when the GOP image is so beaten by the MSM, sending out a mix tape with "Barack the Magical Negro" on it is not the best idea. Why don't we as Republicans just douse ourselves with gasoline and give Olberman the match.

On the flip side, the other people need to lighten up! We all get it, Obama is black. This is not a newsflash (considering how much attention he brought to this fact himself during the campaign). The song that Rush played on his show is about a news article that shared the same title. It is political satire. We all remember what that is right? Its like SNL poking fun at Sarah Palin. They basically called her a ditsy broad by having Tina Fey characterize her, "I can see Russia from my house." As a female am I outraged? No. Do I think that Lorne Michaels is sexist? No. I am outraged the Tina Fey won 'Entertainer of the Year' simply because she happened to resemble Sarah Palin. There weren't any other performers that did more this year? Really? I digress...

Long story short (too late)...

1. America, lighten up!
2. Obama is black (negro means black)
3. Satire is not to be taken seriously, just ask Palin...
4. most important - GOP, stop given the MSM easy ammo to attack us with!!!!

Giddy Up 2009!

The New Year is coming and with it a new White House Administration. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I afraid? No.

As a Bush supporter (yes, I did vote for him twice) I am sad to see President Bush leave the White House, but as a Texan I say to him and his lovely wife, "Welcome Home, Ya'll!".

Now the real question...what will this new administration do? I did not vote for Obama, nor do I agree with just about any of his policies or views, but he is now my President. I will not slander him the way the Left did to Bush. There will not be a 'Don't Blame Me, I Voted for McCain" bumper sticker on my car. I will be the typical Christian Conservative and pray for the country, pray for the President, pray for the leaders that guide us. I will be a watchdog, however. I will do my best to help hold these leaders accountable. We are a nation that is to be governed by the people and I will help to ensure that my group is heard. Which means using my outdoor voice occasionally because sometimes it can be hard to be heard over the Left's whining.

Time will tell how Obama handles the reins that are being handed over to him. From what I know of Obama - he is no cowboy. Saddle up folks, its going to be one heck of a ride!
