Looks like I have abandoned this blog again but to tell the truth I just haven’t had a lot to say lately and I’ve been rather busy with other interests. My bandmates and I have been getting ready for the bluegrass festival coming up in May in Tucumcari, New Mexico so it’s been practice, practice. Strange thing I have noticed; it’s not as easy to learn new songs as it was 30 years ago. I really don’t know why. But it is still fun!
Oh, and by the way concerning New Mexico native Americans, Santo Domingo Pueblo has reclaimed its original name and is now officially Kewa Pueblo. Good for them.

Most of us now know who Joe Stack was after learning of his flying his airplane into the IRS office in Texas. The Main Stream Media (MSM) has attempted to make him into a Tea Party type guy. Good try by the leftist media taking their orders from the Obama administration but no soap.
After reading his “manifesto” on the SmokingGun, he seemed to me to be a self-centered, self-pitying leftist. He, after all, made a positive statement about communism and a negative statement about capitalism. The proof of his true political leanings is the frantic scrambling the MSM did to try and pin the label of “tea party” on him. They knew who he was and attempted to switch his political identity. Like most of their attacks on the majority of us regular citizens, it failed.
My advice to the MSM is keep on keeping on. Your lying attempts to destroy the Tea Party movement only make it stronger. Do you wonder why so many of us don’t watch your nightly news shows and read your newspapers anymore?? And I guess my next question is, why do you hate those of us that want and work for good, efficient, honest, fiscally conservative and constitutional government?

In the case of Cobell vs. Salazar Ms. Cobell is taking questions from those native Americans that will be affected by the recent settlement offer from the federal government. Here is the web site and instructions:

It is our hopes that Congress will pass the enabling legislation and the process can move forward.

Hey, the weather has been really great here the last few days. Yesterday was an amazing 64 degrees and today is supposed to reach 54! However, next week winter returns as it should. After all we are in wintertime until March 21st or so. Well, it’s off to celebrate my wife’s birthday.

Since January 28th we have gotten around 20 inches of snow and since we have been in a real drought for the last few years it is quite welcome. We got around 6 inches last night and the weather man says that we might have more on Wednesday and again during the weekend.
The only thing I have to complain about is that our driveway, which is an eighth of a mile long, is getting in pretty ragged shape. One of my tasks when it dries up good is to get out the tractor and blade, shape it up pretty good and get a bunch of base course hauled in to spread on it. The ruts are so deep now that the pickup is the only way in and out.
I did have to get up on the roof with a push broom and push a bunch of snow off the roof today after I heard the rafters groan a little bit. Having a flat roof has its disabilities and getting too much heavy snow on it is one of them.

Now the latest mantra coming out of the administration and the far left Democrats is that the big banks must be punished for their misdeeds. What a laugh! Obama and the left wing Democrats take on Wall Street and the big investment banks??? I doubt it when Goldman Sachs and the rest were his big contributors.
Rest easy folks, this is all a rhetorical shell game charade that is meant to go nowhere. I bet the word has already gone out to the bankers “don’t worry, we have to make you look like villains for a while to cover up for our screw ups but keep the campaign contributions coming in and we will take good care of you”.
When are we Americans going to realize that when politicians target an industry or a segment of society all they are doing is trolling for cash? Call me cynical if you want.

All I can say is congratulations Scott Brown and thank you Massachusetts!

This is my last post for 2009. In a little less than 3 hours it will be history and thank God! What a year. My wish for all is that 2010 will be much better. I also hope that all the members of the US House of Representatives get voted out. Don’t really care who replaces them. A message must be sent that the nation’s problems must be their first business and not their own personal aggrandizement. The corruption at too many levels of politics is stunning. I also hope that the corruption going on at the state level here in New Mexico be exposed and successfully prosecuted. Maybe I’m asking too much.
Finally, two more wishes. I wish that the voting public would rediscover that God and his precepts are the foundations of liberty. Too many are off worshiping at the altars of statism, greed, political hatred and other man-made religions. The Creator of all things has set certain rules in place and we depart from them at our peril. My final wish, for today anyway!, is that we get enough snow and rain for agriculture to flourish here in New Mexico. It has been a long dry spell over most of the state.

And yes, it is a white Christmas in Quay County!

Merry Christmas to one and all. Looks like it will be very cold here but not much snow if at all although it is snowing lightly right now. Well, have fun and do something nice for someone else!
