Even Robots Love Christmas

Back when I was a young boy I saw a movie titled "Tobor the Great". It is not the greatest robot movie ever made, but it is the one that caused me to fall in love with robots. I had seen other movie robots, but I had never seen a robot that looked as cool as Tobor. Typically movie robots tended to look like waterheaters with arms and legs. I am sure that someone is going to want to ask me "What about Robbie from "The Forbidden Planet". Well I did not see Robbie until a couple of years later. HI ad seen Robbie first, he might well have had the same effect on me that Tobor did.

Anyway, because of Tobor, I did fall in love with robots and have been fascinated by then ever since. I have designed and built several small robots and robot related circuits, and written a few articles and how-to's as well over the years. I have also collected a few toy robots, and a large number of the DVDs that I own have robots in them.

The reason I have bored you with all of this is so that you might have at least a small idea of why on Earth I would want to share the following video with you.

A response to democraticparty@democrats.org

Subject: We will not back down

As we head into the final stretch on health reform, big insurance company lobbyists and their partisan allies hope that their relentless attacks and millions of dollars can intimidate us into accepting the status quo.

So I have a message for them, from all of us: Not this time. We have come too far. We will not turn back. We will not back down.

But do not doubt -- the opponents of reform will not rest. So I need you to fight alongside me.

We must continue to build out our campaign -- to spread the facts on the air and on the ground, and to bring in more volunteers and train them to join the fight. I urgently need your help to keep this 50-state movement for reform going strong.

Please donate $5 or whatever you can afford today:

Let's win this together,

President Barack Obama

For the sake of you political career, for the sake of how you will be remembered by history, I would advise that you turn back now, and that you back down immediately. That is, unless you actually want to be remembered as the one who tried and failed to destroyed the very icon of Freedom, The United States of America, and the one who tried and failed to enslaved the citizens of this nation to its government.

"We the People" have made it abundantly clear that we do not want you, the socialist liberal elitists, to stick your noses into our personal medical decisions. Nor do we want you putting your corrupt fingers on the best medical system in the world. “We the People” will not sit back and let you get away with this takeover of our lives this way.

You incompetent fools cannot even protect a top secret security manual for our nation's airports. In fact you actually are foolish enough to post it online.

It takes you months to decide whether or not to give our troops the increase in number that everyone with a brain knew that they needed.

Meanwhile you tie the hands of our brave young fighting men so that they cannot do the job they need to do because some so called "innocent civilians" might be hurt or killed. Guess what? Most of those so called "innocent civilians" are willingly giving aid and cover to the very islamo-fascist bastards that are torturing and killing our troops and the truly innocent.

You have demonstrated that you cannot handle producing and distributing a vaccine for a "killer flu" that you knew was needed over a year ago.

And you actually think that I and my fellow GOD fearing, Freedom loving Americans are going to be stupid enough to sit back and allow you to take over and make decisions about our medical care. OH HELL NO!!

It is “We the People” who will not back down. “We the People” will fight you at every turn, until you and all your socialist henchmen are forced to turn back!


Oh… And while I have your attention, I want to say to hell with your political correctness. The proper greeting this time of year is NOT happy holidays, it is NOT happy winter whatever.

The proper greeting in this overwhelmingly Christian nation is…

MERRY CHRISTMAS

In addition to my reply, I also sent a copy of this response to the White House using the website contact page.

I seriously dout that anyone, let aolne B.O. himself, will ever read my comments. But hey, I feel better. 8^)

That's Merry Christmas If You Please

Ahhhhh! That was delicious. And now that Thanksgiving is tuck tightly under our belts we have officially entered the winter holiday season. Yes, I know, the department stores already had their displays and shelves filled winter holiday items, well before Halloween was over. But putting that aside, most of us see the day after Thanksgiving as the proper beginning of the winter holiday season.

We can now all look forward to hearing store clerks, delivery persons, politicians and almost everyone else who works directly with the public, greet us with an ever so pleasant “Season’s Greetings!!” or “Happy Holiday!!”

Okay, enough of that politically correct hogwash. The truth is that we are not just entering into a period of various social and cultural celebrations. This is not simply the winter holiday season. It is in fact the Christmas season, the time of year when the western world in general, and especially we here in the United States of America, remember and remind each other that GOD sent HIS SON, to be born in a stable as a human infant, so that HE could walk amongst us, teach us, and give HIS life for us. It is at this time that we enthusiastically and joyfully celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I don’t know about you, but I intend to do as I have always done. I will continue to greet people by at least wishing them a “Very Merry Christmas”, if not a full blown “Happy LORD’s Birthday”.

If that offends some people, well that is their problem not mine. I am an American citizen, and when it comes to important issues, I am under no obligation to suppress what I know to be the truth; so as to avoid offending others. Anyone who chooses to take offense at my words will simply have to realize that this is the United States of America.

And that in the United States of America; the over whelming majority of us are (at least in name) Christians.

And that not only can every American citizen believe what he or she chooses to believe, but that every American citizen also have the GOD given, Constitutionally recognized right to freely exercise his or her religion.

And that for Christian Americans that means, in part, that we can and should use our GOD given Constitutionally recognized right of free speech to proclaim the Gospel of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.

There is absolutely no good reason why we Christians should ever feel obligated to restrain our joy over the celebration of the birth of the KING of kings and LORD of lord.

Nor should we Christian ever submit to liberal pressures to keep our enthusiasm in check, or to squelch our GOD given desire to share the true reason for the Christmas season with anyone and everyone at any time when Spirit of GOD moves us to do so.

Take a stand. Do not let the liberals force you to bow to their politically correct agenda. It can begin with something as simple as refusing to say “Happy Holidays”, and insisting on saying “Merry Christmas”.
