Friday Flyer
- Herman Cain asserted this week that the Perry campaign “planted” the story about the incidents of sexual harassment in Cain’s past. Is it really a “planted” story if the accusations and “settlements” actually occurred?
- Regardless of how this sexual harassment story plays out, Cain lost me last weekend when he said the following:
- “It’s not the government’s role — or anybody else’s role — to make that decision,” he said. “So what I’m saying is, it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president. Not some politician. Not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide.”
- The next day Cain tweeted “I’m 100% pro-life. End of story”. Sorry Herman, a person who is 100% pro-life would never have said what you said.
- I am disappointed with myself for being swayed in the last few weeks by Herman Cain’s positive, “everyman” qualities. It is not like me to be drawn in by a snake-oil salesman.
- As I promised Hannah earlier this week, her little Christmas tree is up, lighted, and decorated.
- The decorating will continue this weekend.
- 22 degrees this morning! Scraped thick frost off the car windows for the first time this fall yesterday morning. Can snow be far behind?
- I’ve removed the Adobe Reader from our computers. The program takes up an incredible amount of room, and the seemingly unending updates for the software were becoming more like an invasion than a useful service. We are giving the Foxit Reader a try for being able to read PDF files.
- Next week I’ll be starting a new weekly feature “The Thursday Three”.
- For now, it’s Friday … make it a good day.
- Don’t forget to fall back this weekend!

Love Hannah’s tree. Very cool! Can’t wait to see the rest of the decorations!

Kerry, to Mr. Cain’s answer on abortions, He was speaking as a presidential candidate, not as a civilian. His point is, it is our right to disobey a law if we feel it infringes on our liberty. That answer on aborting in rape or the inniment danger of the life of the mother is a personal one. I myself see the old testament speaking to the rapist as an intrusion on the life lineage of a family and one of choice to not allow. But, that being said, I too agree I am 100% prolife, as did Mr. Cain state of his personal belief.
Bottom line for the children n the womb who die, they are in God’s Bowl of Souls awaiting their avenging. Our reprobate minded leaders of this nation define what we need to cure and that is a revival of God’s moral attributes on Holy Living. With near 70% of the population polling in support of life beginning at conception, we are getting close to that point.
Will we continue to repent and change our ways and shed this amoral value theme as not a Constitutonal right, but a State power to determien or not. State Sovereignty is the key to our future in America, the key with God’s Spirit.

Hello friend George! Good to see you. Tickets please!
Regarding Mr. Cain, I don’t accept his excuse that he was answering as a “candidate and not as a private citizen”. Gov. Huckabee answered the abortion question many times during the 2008 campaign – his candidate view never wavered from his personal view. “Luckily” for Mr. Cain, the story about his alleged inappropriate behavior with female employees seems to have made most people forget what he said about abortion being a “choice”. Herman Cain will not get my endorsement.
Regarding cases where abortion is “acceptable”, please re-visit my blog post at http://onemom.com/2011/01/blog-for-choice/ and also http://www.prolifephysicians.org/rarecases.htm
ONE MOM, Long time since I have checked in here, though I have checked your blog from time to time.
I have not always agreed with you on every particular, but I share your quandry as to which Republican candidate to vote for at my Iowa caucus meeting on Jan. 3, 2012. Michele Bachmann and Ron Santorum best represent my own views and major concerns, but I do not think either of them are the strongest candidates. Although I appreciate Ron Paul in various ways, I have never been a Libertarian. Mitt Romney still cannot be trusted. I would like to like Herman Cain, but my skepticism of him only grows. Newt Gingrich is smart and experienced but his adulterous treatment of and abandoment of his two former wives with health problems is too much for me to overlook. I did not agree with Mike Huckabee on every particular either, but if he had run I would be supporting him again.
In case I don’t get back here again soon, best wishes for the upcoming holidays and a tough northern Michigan winter.
