So Pope Francis says that Donald Trump is not a Christian if he wants to build a Wall on the Mexican Border.
A stupid move Pope. And I'm not defending Trump.
Are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Christians while they support the abortions of Planned Parenthood????
Pope, you have poured oil on a slippery slope. If you are going to call out one, you have to call out the other.
Now it seems that you are injecting Christian doctrine into American politics while a Socialist is running for President. And you are known to have Socialist leanings.
So the people that you like are Christians and the people that you don't are not?
There are a lot of flaws in my Catholic faith, and you've just added another.

Survival
Peeps....
Lately getting old has been occupying center stage in my thoughts.
My mother turns 90 next month, my father-in-law is 92, and my mother-in-law is 88 and in the hospital after having surgery for a brain aneurysm.
When I was growing up, I thought that people in their sixties were old. All four of my grandparents died young... I only briefly knew my Maternal Grandfather.
But since then, things really have seemed to change.
Now with my parents in their nineties, and some of my best friends in their seventies, I'm starting to think that our kids and grandkids will see centenarians as a matter of course. Not sure of the reasons for the uptick in longevity. Probably a mixture of the availability of food and shelter as well as medical technology.
Most likely, my Mother-in-law would had died without her recent brain surgery, and a number of other family members and friends have recently had medical procedures without which their lifespan could have been threatened.
So getting old is not the challenge. Surviving is no longer the issue. The emerging concern is quality of life. What will you do with that survival?

Time's Up for H
The Democrat Spin-Doctors are now saying that a win for H in New Hampshire would be to lose to Bernie Sanders within ten percentage points.
That is quite a stretch of logic.... since she led Bernie Sanders by over 40 points in the early going.
Looks like the original strategy... to keep Hillary out of the public eye and away from the press as long as possible.... was probably well founded. Too bad she had to eventually have some light shed upon her. But who would have thought that a Vermont Hippy in his seventies would be the first to take her down???
How do you think all of the Dems who, were scared off by her initial "coronation" feel now? They didn't have the balls to take on the Clinton Syndicate, and let a Crazy Commie fill a widening chasm.
You have to believe that Jawn Kerry is in a loathesome quandary. He could have had it all if he had the fortitude to break ranks and fulfill his destiny. These Lefty Loonies have treated the Clinton's like Moonbat Royalty with only one problem.... young voters don't recognize the narrated legacy, and don't trust the despicable H. All they needed was a guy who knew the words to "KumBaya" and promised free tuition, and H was history.
Your MOAM is feeling a bit elated. It's time for the Clinton's to retire to their New York estate and stage fundraisers to keep H out of a Federal Penitentiary.
I'm thinking that she loses by at least twenty points tonight in New Hampshire.... which proves the old adage... "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time... but not all of the people all of the time."

An Iowan Evening
It's only 6:30 in the morning.
Could you neurotic Peeps please refrain from this constant barrage of cell calls, voice mails, emails and message texts just to find out what the MOAM take is on the Iowa Freaking Caucus Results??!!!!!
For Chrissakes.... it's only Iowa. Since when does a bunch of white, flatland farmers arguing in gymnasiums get everyone so riled up?????
I sure am glad that they don't have the caucus system in Massachusetts where I am registered as an Independent. The last people I would asked who I should vote for as POTUS are my crazy neighbors.
But that's me... the good US Citizens of Iowa have spoken.... or some of them have anyway.
For the Republicans, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have topped the ticket... none with an overwhelming plurality. They have established themselves as the frontrunners, and if this is duplicated next week in NH, the others should step out. I actually wish that Jeb Bush would leave now. He is a praiseworthy candidate, but has not caught the imagination of the electorate and I kind of feel embarrassed for him due to his level of funding and family legacy. Throw your support to your upstart Marco, and move out with class, Jeb.
The Democratic race is really intriguing. Despite the early coronation of Hillary Clinton by the DNC, with a rigged debate schedule and money flowing in from all the usual sources like Soros, etc, the lowly Socialist Mayor of Burlington, Vt, Bernie Sanders.... a 72 year old Commie with a Brooklyn accent and no SuperPAC support has virtually tied the disgusting H in a too close to call contest.
The Democratic Party Sheep Herders are really wringing their hands over this one. Their corrupt candidate, who was assurred of continuing the largess that keeps Dem Hacks in business over the underclasses, is on the proverbial ropes by a candidate who was supposed to be a complimentary diversion.
Yet, this most unlikely candidate, Bernie Sanders, is giving Queen H a huge scare. And next week, the fine voters of NH are scheduled to give her a double digit ass kicking. The Democratic Propagandists at ABC Good Morning America, George Steffy and Co., are loving the Trump loss and are saying that Clinton won. They are transparent Sheepherders.
Damn that "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"!!!!! Once again they have taunted the Clinton Syndicate.
Bring on the FBI Indictment..... That should complete the job.
Overall, the evening shaped up pretty well in Iowa.

Grace Oliver Run
Peeps...
This morning, your MOAM was feeling a little frisky so I put on the sweats and took the three mile run down to Grace Oliver's Beach and back.
That is something that I never thought I would blog about again, Then, after our White Mountain ride for Honduras where I was too crippled to get off of the bike, Wayne Webster turned me on to his Chiropractor, Dr. Ralph Palumbo, and bada bing,,,,, no more leg main, no more knee pain, no more back pain.... and I just finished a non-stop three mile run.
I have no idea what he did, but he ended up prescribing me a pair of inner sole orthodics that I wear every day now. I remember how shitty I recently felt as late as just before Christmas walking from the Parking Garage to Boston City Hall in Government Center.
On Friday, I made the same walk, and actually enjoyed the stroll. Plus I got most of my permits approved, which has nothing to do with Dr. Palombo, but I'm just saying. Apparently my feet were causing my body to be out of alignment, and the orthodics fixes it. Dr. Palombo also pokes and jabs a bit here and there, which I don't understand... but he can poke away for all I care.... within reason.
Ironically, the good Dr. would be pissed at me if he found out that I went for a run. He wants me to avoid any rash movement.
But when the spirit moves you, you have to respond. Course, I barely was able to pass some female powerwalkers down by Peaches Point, And I probably overly paid attention to my heart pounding away in my chest cavity.
But WTF. I ran three miles. The MOAM is back!

Multitude of Morons Amidst Us.
Peeps...
A Mountain of a Man has to be able to handle disappointment once in awhile..... to be able to move on when things don't flow his way.
So it is now that the Pats are not advancing to the SuperBowl. Do you see me whining, or moping around in a funk of despair???? Hell no. It's just freaking football. If they won every year, it wouldn't feel so good next year... when they take the league by storm and pummel everyone in Brady's righteous path.
Now, I'm gearing up for the Presidential Primaries.... with the Iowa Caucuses just days away. The race that I'm most interested in is the Democratic contest where I hope that Bernie Sanders embarrasses and demoralizes the evil, corrupt, and generally disgusting H. When you lay out the shit she has put down in a career of duplicity and corruption, it is so hard to discern why anyone with a conscience could lay down their vote.
Scientifically, the percentage of people who vote for H will be the exact percentage of immoral morons who don't care about truth and think that H will line their pockets or worse. We will then know the multitude of morons amidst us. And there is some value to that.
H is about to get beat by a 75 year old Socialist who has been serving Kool Aide to Kollege Kids for his entire professional career. She couldn't pick a more vulnerable opponent, and he is kicking her ass.
Even though the Patriots lost.... there is a God after all.

Pats Pizza Prep
Lots of anticipation here in Marblehead for the Patriots Game in Denver at 3:05PM this afternoon. Both the Patriots and the Broncos are 12 and 4 this season, and another classic Brady v. Manning quarterback duel is in store. The victor advances to the Super Bowl two weeks from now.
The MOAM is doing his part to insure a PATS win.
We'll be making Pizza on the Breville Pizza oven complemented with Ribs and stuffed baked potatoes. No possibility of running out of beer and wine either. Sammys in abundance.
With everything on the line, you can't take any chances. I want to leave it all on the field.

Priorities
That Bernie Sanders ad featuring the Simon and Garfunkle song "Gone to Look for America" is very powerful. It creates a wistful emotion of hope and is a nice association piece for the old Hippy candidate.
Good for him. He will only draw from the people who "feel" and vote with their hearts. If you give any other rational thought to his candidacy, you can't lend serious support.
But if this is what it takes to level the evil Hillary... then I'm on the Bernie bandwagon.
Dealing with a crazy Socialist for a few years would be a lot better than seeing the wave of corruption wash over the Federal Government with the Clinton Syndicate in the White House. The overall priority is to defeat H, preferable with a Conservative, but otherwise with anyone else
Regardless, the important thing this weekend is seeing whether the Patriots can prevail over the Broncos for the AFC Championship in Denver. Let's keep our priorites straight.

Toning Down the Rhetoric
Peeps....
In less than eleven months, the United States will have chosen a new President.
~
Your MOAM has ranted long and hard on this topic for quite a while now... mostly about the inadequacies of the Democratic front runner, Hillary Clinton.
~
Now, Bernie Sanders, the Socialist Mayor of Burlington, VT., is taking her down and has a lot of naive Dems singing the praises of his plans for doling out free stuff and redistributing wealth from the makers to the takers.
~
Peeps... Socialism doesn't work. If I have to spell this out to you, don't bother to read this pathetic blog anymore. When you sap personal initiative, and personal responsibility...then productivity goes down the shit chute and nothing works properly anymore.
~
I'm not going to rant further about Bernie. He's a 75 year old whack job who has made a career out of selling sugar to college kids, and if you want a sugar rush, there is little I can do for you.
~
A few days ago on Facebook, an old friend of mine told me to "relax" after he caught me in a ranting frenzy about Hillary being a Criminal and Bernie being a Commie. It was good advice. There is no sense flapping your cyber-lips over stuff that should be readily apparent to you. So I'm cool with toning down the rhetoric for the time being.
~
But I personally would like to see a Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders contest for POTUS.
~
It would be a classic battle between Capitalist and Communist ideology. And so many of my Lefty friends are petrified of a Trump victory, and the staightforward policies that he would engender.
~
Does this mean that the Nanepashemet Nod is going to Trump???
No Nod ... yet. There is a lot of ground between now and November....

In the pursuit of learning,
every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less is done
until non-action is achieved.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.
The world is ruled by
letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering.
