political-systems - the American form of government...
When you click on the link below, you will see an excellent, must see video that comes from YouTube. It is a very good narrated visual explanation of the various forms of government and political systems that have occurred in the world and throughout the history of mankind; and why America is not a democracy, but a republic.
This video presentation shows why we should not allow the Obama administration and Congress - who are pushing our country headlong toward socialism - to create an endless series of government programs with Robin Hood like tactics to redistribute wealth, and with the goal of nationalizing every aspect of American life from one's financial resources to one's healthcare needs through nationalized programs.
No matter what one tries to say about “Democrats and Republicans” swapping around in power in the history of our country, by today’s standards, AND as far back as Abraham Lincoln; if you watch this video, you will really understand why Republicans are called Republican - (they promote a "republic" form of government); and Democrats are called Democratic - (they promote a "democracy" form of government). The information given in this video is what should be given in a basic high school civics course or high school course on government or social sciences.
This is interesting and well done.. Please silence the music player and take a moment to watch this...
The Rat Cat Story - by Janel
Rat cat came to us in a strange way. I was looking out at the greening of sping taking place when I heard a strange sound under the shrubs. I walked around to the front of the bushes and there underneath was what looked like an injured rat or squirrel. Upon further investigation it turned out to be a 5 month old kitten with an abscess so large that he looked like Quasimodo. He was so sick that he allowed me to pick him up and wrap him in a towel. I immediately took him to the vet where he stayed for a couple of days. Apparently he was bit by either another cat or rodent - therefore his name is rat cat. He has been a member of our family for 9 years. He is really a character and very loyal to me. He actually sleeps on my pillow every night and is very aware of any little hurts that we may have. He lays his body on the injured place and seems to think he is healing you. he is a joy and tribulation all in one.
Alexander's History.... Gary
Alexander came into this world, as do many kitties - homeless, very small and not so sure to survive. Cowering in a small and cold steel cage in a bleak shelter, he pulled at my heart strings and I happily added him to my life. He started out tiny, so I thought he needed a big name, thus Alexander the Great. He has since grown to meet his name. He is a big lug but very sweet and affectionate. He can meow up a storm when he wants his chow, which is so often he's on a diet now.
He is an American Short hair tabby cat who has many cute tricks....
He rubs noses and taps on my shoulder when he wants my attention and at meal times'
One cute gesture he taught himself was giving a high five. That was his first trick and it still cracks me up after 10 years.
At night he waits for me to pull back the covers and say, "let's settle in", and thats just what he does. He snuggles into his spot by my side and there he sleeps comfy and cozy all night.
He is a great cat, that Alexander... Whoops.. have to go, Alex is calling me for chow. Time to go , dont want to keep the big guy waiting.
