We should celebrate everyday!

    The 4th is a wonderful holiday filled with fun, family and friends the same goes for Memorial Day as well as other important National holidays.   It is important that we do set aside these days to remember, but we should celebrate our independence everyday.  We should honor those who have fought and sacrificed so much for the freedoms we enjoy everyday.

    Who is a Spokesperson for Conservative Women?

    Yesterday there was a posting regarding Carrie Prejean and the release of her book.  The poster took Ms. Prejean to task on a variety of issues and said the she did not speak for the poster as a conservative woman.  This started me thinking about what a conservative woman is and who does speak for conservative women. What or who is a conservative woman?  She | Read More »

    “We the People of the United States…

    What an amazing phrase.  It is part of the foundation of OUR exceptional country.  When one reads the Constitution we focus on “We the People of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union, yadda, yadda!!  How many of us memorized the Preamble in school and have forgotten all, but these two phrases?  The full Preamble states: “We the people of the United States in | Read More »

    Empathy??

    I am learning to be a Catholic and we are studying social justice.  I agree with much of it from the start which is why I am converting.  I try to help others and treat everyone with courtesy and respect.  I was brought up that way in as a Protestant Army brat.  I agree with the Church that war should be a last resort, but | Read More »

    Appreciating What We Have

          I have been registered at Red State for nearly a year.  I have enjoyed reading the postings here, thank you Mr. Lane, Mr. Erickson and staff, as well as all the other regulars, for all of your hard work.  I have learned a great deal.      A couple of months ago I made a suggestion about forming local “book” clubs to read and discuss | Read More »

    Hang together and stand fight!

    First of all I want to apologize for a double posting several comments.  It is one of my own pet peeves, but I promise I am only hitting the “post comment” button once.       I haven’t posted many diaries during my time on Red State mostly because my opinions have been so eloquently expounded on and posted by others.  Also my dad keeps a notebook | Read More »

    Joy

    The foundation of joy is gratitude.  This said I was raised in the Church of Christ where biblical knowledge was prized and the focus was the Sunday sermon.  We were taught about the power of the Holy Spirit in past tense.  The knowledge of the Bible still serves me well on a daily basis now that I am mature enough in my life to realize | Read More »

    I’m not sure if this belongs in the diaries, but I needed to vent.

         Last year at the Republican Convention we were introduced to a young man who on the surface seemed like an all american boy.  He had gotten his girlfriend into trouble, but he and his girlfriend made the decision to go ahead with the pregnancy, keep the baby and get married.  They knew it would be hard, but Bristol knew her parents loved her and | Read More »

    Idealism

    I live in Austin, TX and I found this site some months ago when I was looking for some back up information to have as comfort, sanity and shield from liberal family members and coworkers. I also dound the quotes below as well as others, but these make the point. Our founders and friends are amazingly eloquent just as many of you are. I believe | Read More »
