Hi from Ulster Northern Ireland

Sun, 26 May 2013 02:29:00 GMT

Hi All,

I hail from Ulster in Northern Ireland & live within view of the mountains of Mourne. I have a blog site which details the story of the Ulster Scots or as you may term them the Scots Irish.

Quote:

General Robert E. Lee confirmed, too, the excellence of the fighting quality of the soldiers of Ulster stock. To a visiting Scottish minister who had asked him which race in his opinion made the best soldiers, the general replied:

“The Scotch who came to this country by the way of Ireland because they have all the dash of the Irish in taking a position,and all the stubbornness of the Scotch in holding it.”

Lee was left to consider the matter. It was evident that the college was in a low condition and that accepting this offer would place him in a situation that would involve many of those things to which he had the greatest aversion: paperwork, meetings, fund raising, public speaking, and correspondence. Yet, it was work; a work such as he had been seeking; a work that could be of great service to the people of Virginia and the South; a work that provided an opportunity. Thus was born one of the greatest seats of American learning. In January 1775 an association, closely connected with it, presented to the Continental Congress an address urging resistance to British attempts to interfere with Colonial liberties. The brave, dedicated service of some of the past and present students on different battlefields in those challenging times was certainly in keeping with that petition. One of the most renowned was General William Campbell. the heroic and determined leader of the American forces at the King’s Mountain battle, where their victory turned the course of the war in the whole Southern sector, and engendered hope of a Colonial over-all win.

It has been a while since I have seen any review of the senior organizations on the board.
I would appreciate any input to alternatives to AARP, member size, benifits, values, etc...

Thanks,

Here's the Smoking Gun......

Tue, 21 May 2013 23:05:43 GMT

The thing that has baffled me about the IRS scandal is that it actually appears to be sprouted from the rank & file in the Cincinnati office of exempt organizations. Yet it seemed brilliantly calculated to inflict maximum damage in furtherance Obama's reelection. How could a couple of flunkies in the MidWest figure out how to stymie the effort to actually get the Tea Party movement organized? With no coordination or direction from outside?

Well......I think they've figured it out:

http://spectator.org/archives/2013/05/20/obama-and-the-irs-the-smoking

The IRS employees union has given Obama over $ 1 million since 2008. On Dec. 3, 2009 the President of that Union was signed into the White House with a bunch of other union thugs. On Dec. 9, Obama signed an Executive Order that empowered IRS employees the right to have more influence and power over certain aspects of how their jobs were structured and carried out. On March 31, 2010 the President of the Union was signed into the White House to see the President by the Secret Service. The Inspector General who discovered the abuses reported that on April 1-2, the illegal program was developed and implemented in Cincinnati.....by members of the union.......who suggested it pursuant to their rights under the 2009 Executive Order......

They're saying it was "spontaneous"......just like that demonstration in Benghazi.......

The question is.....does anyone care???
