2 Eagles And A Duck.

This is awesome - be sure to read under each picture!

The fellow sitting on the tailgate of his pickup truck never

Realized the show he was missing.

The little duck watches as the Eagle speeds straight

At him at about 40 mph.

With perfect timing, the duck always dove and escaped with
A mighty splash! Then he'd pop to the surface as soon as
The Eagle flew past. This was repeated over and over for
Several minutes. I worried the poor duck would tire and that

Would be the end of him.

A second Eagle joins the attack! The duck kept diving

"just in time", so the Eagles began to dive into the water after him!

After several minutes the Eagles got frustrated and began to
Attack each other. They soon began to dive vertically,
Level out, and attack head-on in a good old-fashioned game
Of high-speed "Chicken". Sometimes they banked away
From each other at the last possible second. Other times
They'd climb vertically and tear into each other while falling
Back toward the water. (The duck catches his breath at the

Right side of this picture.)

A terrible miscalculation! The luckiest shot of my life catches

This 100 mph head-on collision between two Bald Eagles.

One Eagle stayed aloft and flew away, but the other lies
Motionless in a crumpled heap.

The lucky duck survived to live another day. 

It's sad to watch an Eagle drown. He wiggled, flapped and
Struggled mostly underwater.. He finally got his head
Above water and with great difficulty managed to get airborne.
To my astonishment, he flew straight toward me,

And it was the most wretched and unstable bird flight I've ever seen!

The bedraggled Eagle circled me once - then lit atop a nearby fir tree.
He had a six-foot wingspread and looked mighty angry.
I was concerned that I might be his next target, but he was so
Exhausted he just stared at me. Then I wondered if he would topple
To the ground. As he tried to dry his feathers, it seemed to me that

This beleaguered Eagle symbolized America in its current trials.

My half-hour wait was rewarded with this marvelous sight.

He flew away, almost good as new. May America recover as well.

These pictures and narrative were forwarded to me from my father. As I read the story behind each picture I couldn't help but think how these photos accurately summarize the state our country is in. The 2 Eagles show a nation divided. One Conservative, one Liberal / Progressive. Both fighting over who can best the other and at the end achieve nothing near what each set out to accomplish. They each say that mainstream America wants what they have to offer. REALLY?!

As I see it, Tea Party people represent mainstream America. And while 2 "eagles" fight each other, the DUCK ( or Tea Bagger's ) are resting and watching from the sidelines to find out who really does share their concerns for the country and who doesn't. Here is what these independent, mainstream tea baggers have seen so far;















So, is there any doubters among you that can't see just who has YOUR concerns and best represents "mainstream" America and who is wanting to promote an ideology and agenda no matter what the cost?  This November's 2010 mid-term elections, we will choose which direction these United States will take.  It will be our responsibility to vote our conscience and conviction.  However, as often is the case, we need to remember that CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

So I ask of you all to choose WISELY.
