HOWARD DEAN AT THIS MOST OFFENSIVE: BENGHAZI IS A LAUGHABLE JOKE - THE GUY'S A ONE MAN FREAKSHOW...

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/348899/dean-%E2%80%98benghazi-laughable-joke%E2%80%99-andrew-johnson


of cruelty, inhumanity, insensitivity  and ignorance and the reporter has the gall to say "with all due respect"? 
No!  These people are crude pieces of shit.  He should have spat at him and demanded an apology to the families of the dead and if he didn't get it, leave the room and let Dean sit there.

He's disgusting.

BURR MORSE'S LATEST COLUMN "DOG TALK"

I don't know Burr or the Morse family, but I did visit his farm, and he did know my elderly cousins who have passed on.  I get his newsletter because I LOVE real maple sugar/syrup products.  Someday I'll surprise him with an order.  He's a good writer about beautiful Vermont, but this piece is special.


Bobby - if you're reading this you know it's for you - you need a black Lab of your own!!!!!





News from Vermont #263 - Dog Talk

May 30, 2012
Hello again Maple People.
It's Sunday morning and I sit here at the keyboard waiting for the coffee to sink in and pondering ideas about my next story; what to do... tractors, seasons, trees...I "plug" in the ideas one word at a time like I built the woodpile yesterday, one block at a time, but the single words remain scattered, alas, random chunks of wood all over the ground. "Gosh this is hard work" I think, ready to don my gloves and go back to the woodpile. Out the window I see Betsy returning from her early morning jaunt with the dogs. Yesterday she was commenting on her schedule of late, "like a farmer" she said, in bed by eight and up at five. She said something else interesting: "I'm raising those dogs like I wish I'd brought up the boys...light, loose, happy." I suddenly had my subject..."the dogs", our current children.
Parents always think theirs are the best kids in the world. Dog owners think the same way about their dogs; we're no exception on both counts. Our boys, Robby and Tommy, remain "the best" as young men but are both a bit too "serious". Betsy continually questions her style of parenting when they were young...."Was I too rough on them?" she asks. I carry regrets about my role as their father as well but, unfortunately, we can't go back and "do it again"...or can we? The dogs, Averill and Fern, are Black Labs. Black Labs are, of course, the best, the most lovable...is there any other kind of dog? In a way, Betsy has started a bad thing with 'em because, again like a farmer, there's never a morning off. They're both up at the crack of dawn clamoring for their walk. She gets up; they follow her, sulking when she closes them out of the bathroom. She goes to the coffee pot, they're there. She sits to get the first sip...four beautiful brown eyes shout "C'mon Betsy, let's go!" And when she finally dons her rain slicker, heavy jacket, or whatever attire is appropriate for that Vermont day and puts on her shoes, they're like race horses at a gate.
Tom Morse, eighth generation Vermont Sugarmaker, keeping them at the gate!

The three of them head out for the woods. Each dog has something...a carrot, a tennis ball, a bone...Fern, the younger one, thinks they're all balls but Averill knows the difference. Their first stop these days is the vernal pool up at the top of the hill. Splash...they're both in faster'n a bolt of lightning. They wildly paddle for a stick..."Can you believe that? That's awesome...a STICK!" they say. One time Betsy called me out there just to watch them handle a long stick; both dogs clamped on each end, paddling in tandem toward the shore! The other day she came back bragging about her dogs. "We ran into a huge herd of deer" she said. "There were white flags everywhere and those dogs were off!" She said they came back immediately though when she called, tails between their legs...they know right from wrong for Mom.
A while back, I was the morning person with the dogs. Betsy had worked all night and was still out when "nature called" Averill and Fern. We followed the usual routine, up the woods ski trail, a stop at the vernal pool for stick time, and then we went out into the open pasture. Although the dogs were totally "into" their walk, they acted a bit like school kids do with a substitute; all of a sudden they disappeared over a hill. I worried because the one time they got in trouble with the neighbors was on a "solo" jaunt. I started hollering "Averill, Fern...c'mon...Averill, Fern...c'mere!" I hollered and hollered but, five minutes, ten minutes...those two brats were gone. My final utterance came routinely and out of shear frustration..."Sons-a-bitches!" I shouted. The humor of it struck at the same time two black heads appeared on the horizon. I started laughing like I was a ten-year-old again and they joined in...yes they did...and we three headed home laughing our heads off .
Dogs talk. They talk with their eyes and their tails and their running leaps. Their message time and time again is clear: "Isn't today wonderful...isn't all this just perfect?". I wish we all could be like that. People need to "take a page" from the dog world. It shouldn't be so difficult for folks to be happy. The way I do it is through faith (yes, I'm talking God here), eating well, and living well. I stay away from alcohol, things smoked, and pills (hope a short sermon is OK). Dogs know enough to munch on a few blades of grass for their "maintenance" ...gosh, they're smart! Nature is always best, like grass for the dogs and, say...pure maple products for people (you knew I'd get around to this, didn't you?). If by any chance you want to include pure maple products as part of your new "get healthy" regimen, try www.morsefarm.com. We're here for you 24 hours a day.
Thanks,

BRATTLEB ORO, VT PROTESTS AGING NUCLEAR PLANT OPERATION AFTER LICENSE EXPIRES

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-765363

A relative has often complained to me about Vermont Yankee and the past troubles it has had.

It's sort of a no-brainer to me - exploit our natural oil and gas resources and get rid of nuclear energy forever, because we don't want Chernobyls or Fukushimas here in the USA. Vermonters
aren't stupid, although most are liberal. But when you live with a really big problem like this,
you tend to get protective of the land and your lives...

O'KEEFE EXPOSES VOTER FRAUD IN VERMONT!

http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/okeefe-exposes-voter-fraud-in-vermont/

WTF?

Are we being drugged or something? Why aren't we screaming for a recount in every place this occurs, and more and more reports are coming in for out and out voter fraud or suspicion of it.

VERMONT INTRODUCES LAW REQUIRING LABELS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS

DEMOCRAT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS OF VT ON NDAA

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders(a socialist) said in opposing the final Defense Authorization Act of 2011 (NDAA 2011)

”This bill also contains misguided provisions that in the name of fighting terrorism essentially authorize the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens without charges.” Trashing the 6th amendment.

JUST 4 MONTHS LATER, VERMONT SET TO REOPEN LAST HIGHWAY DESTROYED BY HURRICANE IRENE

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/just-4-months-later-vermont-set-reopen-last-highway-destroyed-hurricane-irene

When power and phone lines were restored, my cousin called and said many of the precious covered bridges had been destroyed. If there are any Vermonters reading this blog, please let me know what the plans for rebuilding and/or restoration of these bridges are.

They're part of our Yankee heritage - I would hate to see them replaced by "modern" concrete and steel.

Thanks much -

HOWARD DEAN ADMITS OBAMACARE WILL WRECK INSURANCE AND DOESN'T CARE IF IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT.

http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/video-of-the-day-howard-dean-admits-obamacare-will-wreck-insurance-doesnt-care-if-its-unconstitutional/?utm_source=Floyd+Reports&utm_campaign=0ca817bfce-FR_01_07_20111_7_2011&utm_medium=email

HOW can you have any person in any political position, blatantly admitting he doesn't care about the constitutionality of an issue?

We are a country of idiots. And I'm included. And every Constitutionalist is too, if we don't act to remove these people from any office they have, including dog catcher.

VERMONT IS THE FIRST TO REFUSE S510, THE FOOD SAFETY BILL

http://www.activistpost.com/

Take a look at this blog. There is something for everyone, including a piece from Dr. Oz AGAINST GM food.

Calling all People and Legislators to emulate Vermont!

GOOD NEWS!
Vermont says NO to S.510. After a sneak attack by both houses of Congress, Vermont has responded by declaring its food sovereignty and making a commitment to food freedom. This assertion of states rights is the correct course of action to combat the out-of-control Federal government. Please visit Vermont Commons to learn about how they are developing and implementing this initiative, then urge your state to do the same.

Time to get serious about Food Sovereignty.

WHEREAS All people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and

WHEREAS Food is human sustenance and is the fundamental prerequisite to life; and

WHEREAS The basis of human sustenance rests on the ability of all people to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products; and

WHEREAS We the People of Vermont, have an obligation to protect these rights as is the Common and Natural Law; and in recognition of the State’s proud agricultural heritage; and the necessity of agricultural, ecological and economic diversity and sustainability to a free and healthy Society;

THEREFORE, Be it resolved, that We The People, stand on our rights under the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution and reject such Federal decrees, statutes, regulations or corporate practices that threaten our basic human right to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products within the State of Vermont; and,

Be it further resolved, that We The People, shall resist any and all infringements upon these rights, from whatever sources that are contrary to the rights of the People of the State of Vermont.

HOWARD DEAN ADVOCATING SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM/PROGRESSIVE MANIFESTO FOR THE WORLD

http://romanticpoet.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/howard-dean-advocating-socialismcommunism-progressive-manifesto-for-the-world/

Time for old Howard to leave the country or stuff a sock in his venomous anti-American mouth.

You know, that's the thing. There are countries in the world who would welcome these people.
Maybe Mugabi would let them stay in his palace for a week or two until they could find a hut in which to stay, or until they build their mansions with their stolen taxpayer money.

To the progressives, the extreme liberals, the socialists and the communists - get out.

On this day in history, "the day that will live in infamy", pack your bags and leave. You are not welcome here.

I love Rudyard Kipling - what fun it would be to visit his home in Vermont...

I'd love to see all of us secede. After we turn the can over and spill out the pieces, we can put the puzzle back together again THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC WAY AND TO HELL WITH GLOBAL GOVERNANCE.

Gun Control 101: Vermont's Answer to Gun Control

http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?p=452897

Now this is truly interesting. Vermont State Rep. Frank Maslack has proposed legislation to register NON gun owners and make them pay a $500 fine to the state. Read the story at the link.

Help thy neighbor...

From the Energy Bulletin comes this article on helping your neighbor through hard weather. No surprise, it comes from a Vermonter. Whenever I see an article on Vermont, I read it. I have family there, and if I had my druthers...well, despite the cold winter, I would move there.

Maybe it's the overwhelming number of small towns strung together like beads on a jumble of long cord, but there's a strong sense of community in Vermont. I really love it there.
The picture above is of the state capital buildling (no surprise). It's on State Street.

A mile or so up the road to the left of this photo was where one of my cousins lived. On one or two of the many trips to her house by train or Greyhound from New York City during my high school years, my cousin Jim and I would take his dog Schatzie, and empty coffee cans and hunt nightcrawlers up by the shrubs near the steps, spotting them lying near their holes with flashlights.

Man, were they big! Muscular and fleshy, they didn't want to be pulled from their holes and we'd have to hang on to their slippery bodies and pull them out.

We gave them to his father, Walt, who never seemed to produce any fish. But it was fun.

Can you imagine what would happen today if you showed up in the dark with flashlights and empty coffee cans in hand on the lawn to look for worms, now? Homeland Security, FEMA,
the FBI, the State Police would probably shoot you.
