Let me start with some historical perspective.
Lynden is a town in Whatcom County, which occupies the northwestern corner of the State of Washington. Lynden is a few miles north of Bellingham, just off the Guide Meridian and a few miles south of the Canadian border. It's a Dutch colony of sorts, and very religious - churches everywhere (at one time holding the world record for churches per capita, the big one being the Dutch Reformed) and some very odd blue laws. A dairy town, they actually flourished during the Great Depression and interpreted their comparative affluence as favor from God for their piety. The town is very clean, nicknamed "Tidytown," and in fact there is an ordnance which requires regular mowing. If you don't mow often enough, the city will do it for you and bill you (nobody has ever challenged that one in court, or I suspect it would not be upheld).

Tonight I had an epiphany and I now don't feel very good about myself. I have been almost rabidly against Palin. My education, intellect and travels abroad made me confident in my disgust for her and the people who supported her....the women who supported Palin. After all, she is absolutely not qualified for the job.

The exact phrase Obama made was, "I don't want to go into the next election starting off with half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats; we've done that in 2004, 2000."
That was Obama continuing his attack theme on Senator Clinton as his example of "politics of the past" in Central Iowa before the first Caucus. His extension of the "generation of the past" that he used extensively in New Hampshire. And he wonders why he has a problem with the Democratic base, mature adults and Seniors?

It seems pretty clear now. And apparently I needed it hit over my head several hundred times to really see things as they are. I wondered why I see Obama supporters talk with such disdain for a former Democratic President, Bill Clinton, when they say why they are supporting Obama. I thought these words they uttered came from NeoCons. I wondered how supposed Democrats could say such vile remarks and descriptions of a former First Lady of Arkansas, the United States, a sitting Senator, and now a Presidential candidate, who has committed herself to doing good for this countries citizens and way of life.
I knew I supported Hillary because I care about the issues. I'm not trying to find a preacher or an entertainer in my President. That's not in their job description. Increasingly getting uncomfortable with the way I saw how Camp Obama was running. Starting as far back as Iowa with his negative campaigning, mailers and verbal attacks.

I remember hearing about Mr. Kanzius's invention last year. A man from the Erie, PA area that used to own Jet Broadcasting, until retiring. He believed Radio Frequency could be the answer to cure cancer and after seeing the ill effects of Chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer, from friends, and then himself, he went to work on his idea.
Last May, Dr. Curley described the Kanzius project as "the most exciting new therapy for cancer" he's seen in his 20 years of research.
