Another Stiff Dose of Hope and Change

     We are writing from San Antonio, in the very comfortable confines of the home of my wife's brother and sister-in-law.  In the correct Spanish that would be respectively, my cun~ado (brother-in-law) and concun~a (wife of my brother-in-law).   They have a very pleasant, nearly gingerbread-house fully adorned in classical American, Rockwellian Christmas vesture.  Remarkable, generous, and competent people.

     In the meantime, El Zorro rides through the night to remind young and old, tall and short, rich and poor....that if you work and/or invest and/or have anything at all....you didn't do that.   The government let you have it.  The government decided to give it to you.  You didn't do it.   Therefore, as collateral damage associated with the  Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative, we need to remember the following little present from Santa Satanas....you know, the brother of Lois Lerner and the Gruber that stole Christmas, Easter, your private life, your children's and grandchildren's future, and traditional life as we knew it.

If you think it is important that everyone in the U. S.
should know this, pass it on.
If not, then delete it.

     Please forgive the assault upon the OROG community's sensibilities during the Feast of the Nativity.  But we must now fight on the Sabbath, on the High Holy Days, on Feast Days, on Fasting Days, and on every day of the Calendar.  Begin to-morrow on Boxing Day, just by remembering the above facts.  Bring them to mind to Boehner and McConnell.   Stand the good fight, and ride to the sound of the guns.   El Zorro's message is more than salient.   It has become a matter of life, death, and whether or not we pursue happiness of abide in misery and dependence.
