Virgie Bell's View: Priorities

It should surprise no one by now that Nancy Pelosi is going to be a headache in the making for all of us who really do support the troops. She is a real pain in the nether region for me. I have quite a lot of trouble adjusting to the idea that this kind of woman is an ideal model for woman. I think my attitude was called old fashioned in the old days. Today it is called old fashioned. So there you have it. What is in store for the readers of this post is from someone, well, old fashioned.
Actually I make no apology for that. I know that if a poll was taken by women in my age group, you would find that we are mostly old fashioned. It seems being such an old-has-been is not what we should aspire to.

The Speaker of the House is strutting her stuff in a show for a fact finding mission in Syria. Hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do. Hillary is beating the fancy panties off Madam Speaker ... and Fancy Nancy just cannot stand by and allow this to happen. So she goes to Syria to get back on the news. Honestly, before Pelosi and Hillary get through with us we are going to be so sick of them that it will be a wonder we don't absolutely up-chuck at the mention of their name. Even Ms. Pelosi's very own grandchildren have had to suppress this gag-reflex. Trust me this piece of fluff will run for the Office of President one day. I pray the good Lord that she doesn't ever become the President. The more I see of Hillary, the more I hope I don't see her as at the top job. In fact, I really am trying my darnedest to find someone running on the Democratic ticket to be even a little in favor of.

I realize that we conservatives are spending the money that this party could be using to grow government. Too much is being spent on the War on Terror they say. Conservatives just want to help big oil; conservatives are not for the little people. We don't want to take care of the poor and the down trodden. We cater to the rich. We help big businesses grow. Well I am one of the little people, as are most of the people I know. I am also one of the old fashioned little people who have a strong bias against abortions. Dead set against late term abortions. They let the baby come through the birth canal and the take a sharp instrument and stick it in the soft spot of the babies head to kill it. Something in me rebels forcefully at such a barbaric practice.

I realize that an old fuddy duddy like me can gum up the works with my archaic view point. I always thought that being a mommy was a pretty good goal. I still think so. Being a grandmother is the top of the world, and a great grandmother, well it is a blast. I will admit that people who crave power bother me a great deal and more especially when they are mothers and grandmothers. This could be because I am very short on these grandchildren. Out of four that made it into this world I have only two left. And I have one great-grandson. It looks like that will be it for my lifetime. Oh, I am sure that Kayla will give my descendants some darling ones, but by then I will be fortunate to even be around.

A person like me that is all fuzzy in the head also feels mixed emotions about Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards. When they found out that she had an incurable form of cancer and decided to go after the top job for John Edwards harder than ever, well I don't know, but it was kind of like this for me. To me it would be a time to gather close, to be with my children and take them places. Let them see wonderful and beautiful sights. This couple is rolling in dough. They just built a 29,000 square foot house and could vacation there one would suppose. But why not see the world? Trips for the little ones to far away places. I have lost many loved ones to cancer. No matter how it turns out, it is not good.

Most people I know are forced to work to still support a small home. To take care of the bills, and still be able to be with the loved one that they know they will lose. When I see someone like the Edwards’ who want to ratch it up another notch, drive harder for the top office then I feel kind of weak. A little bit sad. Elizabeth Edwards made the remark yesterday that if her husband was President that she would not set in on cabinet meetings. That she would be spending time taking care of her adorable children. You know what; if I were her, I would grab John by the ear and start that right now. As I said, I guess I just don't understand the drive to be that powerful. I would want to enjoy every moment with my family. If I had the money that the Edward's had I would darn sure not miss one moment of it. As far as I’d be concerned, the Office of President could go blow. Why would anyone think they were the only hope for America? Not much I can find here to admire. Maybe that is why the liberals approve of these late term aberrations. SUPPORT THE TROOPS!
