Self-Destruction - an Individual, the Left, the MSM

Published by carol June 12th, 2006 in Headlines/Current Events, The MSM, Liberal Insanity and Politics.

There are people who are self-destructive.Â They cut themselves, burn themselves, criticize themselves constantly.Â When they make a mistake, they make remarks like “I’m so stupid.Â I never do anything right.”Â Often they blame their feelings on others.Â “If I had just made the cheerleading team, I’d be okay.”Â “If I had won the election for student body president, I wouldn’t feel so bad about myself.”Â Even when something good happens, they turn it around so that it appears negative.Â And the students who DO make the cheerleading team or student body president become their worst enemies.Â Â Those enemies are deemedÂ stupid and dangerous.Â The self-destructive person’s fear and anger is all turned inward or against the person they feel wronged them.

I think that’s what the far left and MSM is about these days, for the most part.Â To them, the United States can do no right.Â Our enemies can do no wrong.Â They cut the United States - not realizing thatÂ they’re endangering themselves.Â George Bush beat them not in one but in two elections.Â Therefore, he is the enemy - stupid and dangerous.Â They make wild accusations.Â

The average American sees the far left for what it is - self-destructive adolescents having a tantrum because they didn’t get their way - and if they didn’t get their way, then they’ll be damned if they’ll let GWB succeed.Â They come up with accusations and conspiracy theories that make reasonable people shake their heads in disbelief.Â

It’s sometimes humorous, but ultimately sad, that they’ve pulled many well-intentioned Americans into their ridiculous web of lies.Â There are enough intelligent and thoughtful people, however, who see the truth and will see that it prevails in the end.

Monday Memory - Sitting “Under Daddy’s Wing”

Published by carol June 12th, 2006 in Days of the Week, That's My Life, Monday Memories, Remembering and Family.

I grew up as one of seven children.Â My childhood was in the fifties - before seatbelts.Â When my family would travel, my father would drive, and he would take turns letting us children sit “under his wing.”Â That means we’d sit close by his side, with his arm in front of us to protect us.Â InÂ those days before seatbelts, there was no greater feeling of love and security than traveling down the road - safe and protected under Daddy’s wing.

Mary Winkler - FINALLY some news

Published by carol June 12th, 2006 in Headlines/Current Events.

In Sunday’s TENNESSEAN newspaper, there was a story about Mary Winkler.Â Â

A grand jury in McNairy County is expected to decide Monday whether to indict the wife of a prominent Church of Christ minister on homicide charges in the March 22 shooting death of her husband.

Mary Winkler, 32, was arrested in Orange Beach, Ala., almost 24 hours after her husband, Matthew Winkler, was found shot in the back at their Selmer home.Â Police said she had taken the couple’s three young daughters and fled to the Gulf Coast area in her minivan after the shooting.

On Monday, “the prosecution will present their proof for indictment,” said Mary Winkler’s attorney Steven Farese Sr. of Ashland, Miss., in a phone interview Friday.

Then, Farese said, he expects that “on Wednesday Mary Winkler will make a court appearance.”

“We’ll have a defense,” Farese said, though he didn’t elaborate on what that would be. He added that his plans include entering a plea of not guilty.

Also, “we’re contemplating asking for bond.”

After returning to Tennessee, Mary Winkler opted not to have a preliminary hearing and waived her case to the McNairy County grand jury. She is still being held in the McNairy County Jail.

Police have said Mary Winkler confessed and that they believe she planned the slaying. The case, which has attracted national press, has stirred the town of Selmer, which has a population of about 4,500.

In February 2005, Matthew Winkler moved his family to Selmer to serve as minister to the Fourth Street Church of Christ.

Members of the Fourth Street church found Matthew Winkler’s body in a bedroom at the church’s parsonage the night of March 22 and phoned police.

An Amber Alert was later issued for Mary Winkler and the couple’s three girls, Patricia, 8, Mary Alice, 6, and Brianna, 1.

Matthew Winkler’s father, Dan Winkler, and mother, Diane, are taking care of the children. Dan Winkler is the minister at the Huntingdon, Tenn., Church of Christ.

When asked about Mary Winkler’s demeanor last week, Farese said, “she was very emotional,” adding that he talks to her twice a week. “She’s very anxious to see her children.

“I know that she has written numerous letters to her children, but we don’t know if the children have read the letters,” Farese said.

“She can (and does) have pictures (of her children),” Farese said. But to his knowledge, he said, “the Winkler family hasn’t sent her any (pictures of the girls).”

“We have no comments at this time,” Dan Winkler said Saturday by phone from his Huntingdon home.

Jerry Morris, an elder at the Huntingdon Church of Christ, said the children “seem to be thriving real well” in their grandparents’ care. Morris is the contact for a special fund that has been set up for the girls.

He said he has seen the children at church during Wednesday night activities, on Sundays and sometimes during the week.

So finally, after almost three months of no news, we may possibly learn SOMETHING new about this case that has become such a fascinating mystery.Â Stay tuned . . .
