Gods and Monsters…

Recently, someone suggested to me that I should use all the political information that I can’t seem to stop gathering, to inform others. I think she may have been on to something.

While the American political machine is primarily dominated by two parties, our government actually consists of five active parties. The unknown three are referred to as “third” parties in government language.  Most people are familiar with the Republican and Democratic parties, but few are aware of the remaining three.

The most active third party is the Libertarian party.  The most famous and most current Libertarian, is Ron Paul. Libertarians views are free-trade, non-interventionism in foreign policy, tight border control,  very strong civil liberties and active travel to all countries. This party really looks at the Constitution and wants to follow in it’s footsteps. They desire as little government in people’s lives as possible. Without fail, this is the party that I most closely identify with.  The government has no place in individual lives.

The Green Party is another third party that does occasionally show up on local levels. They push strongly for environmental reform. They also believe strongly in opening the borders because they are all about peace and love.   Frankly, I couldn’t give a crap less how the trees are doing if we’re being pushed into poverty or having to give my money to illegals. 

 Green houses gases aren’t going to matter if we’re all slaves to a government gone bad.  I’d rather be dead than have them searching my home because they felt like it. So bring on the melted ice!  It’ll wipe out the Kennedy’s, too.  And that’s all I need to know to feel better about it.

The latest addition is the Constitution Party.  The name is somewhat of a misnomer considering that our country was founded for the right to religious freedom. Well, and the fact that the King of England was killing the ones who wouldn’t do things his way.  That’s beginning to sound vaguely familiar here as well….But I digress. 

The Constitution Party believes that the Constitution was written from a Bible based platform.  They also believe that the Bill of Rights was as well.  They would see all freedoms of any other religion gone.  That doesn’t sound anything like the Constitution nor Bill of Rights that I’ve read.  But, it’s their right as American’s to believe what they’d like. Ain’t America great? 

We have a system of gods and monsters.  We have 5 parties, but only 2 have electorial votes. We have a system designed for freedom that’s being raped by ordinary men and women who have become political and power hungry monsters.  Men and women who view themselves as gods.  Men and women who WE have elected to control everything in our lives. 

The government was not and is not intended to be run the way it is running.  The executive branch is taking over the legislative branch and assigns positions to the judicial branch.  The legislative branch is changing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the point that they no longer resemble what they were intended for.  And all they while, people who know they are monsters, merely cover their faces and pretend they are still gods…

We have a nation of sheep who has found themselves with a government filled with wolves.  It’s time that we as a people turn and find our way.  There cannot be gods and monsters who rule. There can only be men.  We’ve lost that.  It’s not slogans that we need, it’s action.

Ironically, I’m choosing to end this with a quote by one of the worst President’s to ever sit in office.  Franklin D. Roosevelt said:   

“The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.”

We have lost our way. 

For those of you that don’t understand why I’d say FDR is one of the worst monsters to ever take office:  He is the god of the oval office who implemented stealing your money via Social Security. 

I’ll go with H.L. Mencken any day:

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman’s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.

Resistance is NOT futile.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s almost 1984…

Not too long ago, I re-read Orwell’s cryptic, scary and quite possibly clairvoyant, 1984.  I remember the first time that I read it, it gave me nightmares.  Today, it just makes me that much more determined to continually speak out against what’s become of the American government. Although I’ll admit, it still gives me nightmares, too.

In Orwell’s book, the populace was brainwashed.  In the book, 1984, the scariest slogan that they are subjected to is that “Slavery IS Freedom”.  Everything in their lives is geared to reinforce this and support it.  Today’s slogan “Big Brother is Watching” comes from Orwell’s book. 

There are camera’s placed behind pictures and in every corner. Even in public homes. The TV’s will no longer turn off and continually play only governmentally regulated programs that are designed to reinforce their “anthems”.  Citizens are not allowed to go outside areas that are not regulated by the government. All housing, food, clothing, etc…is regulated by Big Brother. 

“War is peace”.  Another favorite of Orwell’s fictitious government.  “Ignorance is Strength.”  Pushed heavily by Orwell’s Big Brother.  To write the word, “I”, is against the law in Orwell’s world of 1984.

While we made it past 1984, we didn’t make it far. 

Obama and Hillary both push “Universal Health Care”.   War is promoted as a means for peace.  There’s irony there I’m sure.  Michelle Obama is telling women to forgo college because it’s just too expensive.  Go into public service work instead.  Serve the “common” good.  Hillary is telling the wealthy that sometimes things just have to be taken from you to help others out.  Every president for the last 40 years, outside Reagan, has had the same agenda as the one before.

The Patriot Act, there’s more irony for you, has taken away personal rights and no one seems to care.  The government is spying on perfectly average citizens and no one says a word.  After all, it’s just Big Brother.  They wouldn’t hurt us.  Slavery IS Freedom. 

We are forced to give our personal money to Social Security and welfare recipients, whether you want to or not.  We are forced to pay into Medicare and Medicaid, whether we receive it or not.  We are forced into paying taxes on money that we earn. Regardless of what the original Constitution said the government could do.  And no one seems to care.

After re-reading Orwell’s classic work, I had to wonder if he knew something, even then, that others didn’t.  Did he know some of the Mason’s or Skulls of his day?  Did he get some piece of info that he knew he could never publish, so he worked up 1984 instead?  I doubt it.  I’m not a big conspiracy theorist. But, I have to admit, we’re getting almost eerily close to what can only be described as an Orwellian future. 

Wake up, America.  Turn the TV off and get out and change this before the TV will not longer turn off.  Oh!  That’s right!  We’re already going to HDTV’s.  Wonder if the definition is high enough for the government to see us clearly?  Since they are forcing us to have it, I’d say it’s a strong possibility…

Thoughts on Iraq…

I usually don’t sit down and really think out a post.  When you do that, you censor everything you write.  I thought about this post a lot. But, I’m not going to censor anything that I write.  What I found was that I had quite a few contradictory thoughts on Iraq.

First, I don’t believe in this war at all. I think it’s time that we, as Americans, demand that our government stop being the police of the world and begin to take care of the American people.  Period. 

 I don’t particularly care if the border in South Korea is patrolled or not, but it pisses me off that it’s American soldiers doing the patrolling. I don’t care if Iran gets plutonium or not. The facts are that Israel is the 13th richest nation in the world and has almost as much nuclear capability as the United States. Any attack on them will result in a country or two disappearing off the face of the planet in about 2 minutes.  Those are the real facts.  The United States should let them handle their own problems.

However, I am glad that Saddam is dead.  No, he didn’t actually do anything to me or anyone in the US.  But, Ted Bundy didn’t bite my nipples off either and I’m still glad HE’S dead, too. 

I think Saddam was an absolutely evil dictator who deserved to die. I think that he hurt his people and promoted absolute tyranny. I just don’t think it was our business. I do believe this war was about oil.  I’m not sure that bothers me overly much, though. After all, aren’t most of the countries on the planet dependent on that particular resource?  Would you really want China controlling it?  Or Russia?  After all, Russia has enough of their own. The Saudi’s have most of it already and they are the biggest promoters of terror anywhere in the world. I certainly don’t want them having anymore.  

I think that what bothers me the most about this war is that we’re building those 8 bases in Iraq.  We already have bases all over the world that the American tax payer is funding.  The Constitution clearly says that the government’s job is to promote the general welfare and provide for the common defense.  For those idiots out there who’ve convinced themselves that we need bases all over the world, get a clue already.

Japan is doing fine; we should back the heck out.  Europe is fine; it’s time to bring that money home.  Korea is fine; they’ll have to work out their own border problems.  Panama is fine.  After all, Carter has already given them the Canal that we paid for. What more do they want?  Vietnam was almost a bigger mess then Iraq. What the hell are we still doing there?

 It’s gonna be the exact same in Iraq.  We’re building bases to camp out for the next 100 years. Or at least until China takes over.  And that’s just what’s gonna happen people if we don’t get our money back in the States.  Deal with it already. Get your ass off the couch and quit watching Friends reruns long enough to catch the train.

We’re borrowing millions, that’s with this many zero’s… 1,000,000.00, every single month from China to finance this war. That’s right. CHINA! And we’ll have to pay it back. Or speak Chinese eventually.  I really don’t want to learn Chinese, or Spanish, or any other language. I want my America back. 

This war is just the beginning.  It’s time for a complete Revolution.  And for all you out there who don’t know it, we have the American right to overthrow our own government if they piss us off badly enough.  And that doesn’t come from the Constitution. That’s our Bill of Rights.  The Constitution tells the government what they can and most importantly what the CAN’T do.  They’ve ignored it for long enough.

I don’t particularly care what the rest of the world thinks about us. I don’t care if they agree or don’t agree with this war. After all, if we pulled all the food, medicine, technology, medical aid, military, money, charity, etc… out from under them, they’d come running back.  For all you who doubt that, check out what happened in Mexico when we just withheld their corn supply. It was total anarchy. And that was just when we were trying to find better uses for ethanol. The OTHER thing the world wants to bitch at us about.

What I do care about is that the world’s affairs are really none of our business. I’m not talking about isolationism. I’m talking about allowing the world to figure out their own problems and for the United States to begin to function as a nation again. Not an empire. Please note, every empire to ever exist has fallen.  I do not want my tax money to be a crutch for the world anymore. You’ll have to get your own.  For me, that includes the Iraqi’s.

I hate that they’ve been through a tough time. I hate that we’ve destroyed as much as we’ve built. I hate that we’ve lost American men and women in uniform to this stupid war. But, what I hate worse is that we’re not learning from our mistakes.  And now, we’re down to three candidates who are, in all the ways that matter, virtual triplets of each other. And twins with George Bush. It’s insanity at it’s worst.

What I sincerely hope is that what this war leads us to is an overthrowing of a government out of control.  What I hope is that this war leads us to the realization that we really ARE the strongest nation on the planet. We can quit trying to prove it now.   Let’s get down to the business at hand, and do what Americans are best at….surviving.  Surviving through the hardest of times and  grasping onto freedom with both hands and refusing to let go.  

Let’s show the world what we’re really about.  Let’s show them that freedom is an ideal. An ideal that most Americans will fight to the death for.  Even if they have to fight their own government to have it. Let’s stop fighting everyone else’s battles and let’s focus on our own…

Actually, it doesn’t take a village…

Nope!  It doesn’t take a village to do anything. According to Orca…oops, Oprah, it just takes her.  I’m always amazed at the number of people who buy into it, though.

Most people believe that SHE gave those cars away on her show that day. She didn’t.  Her sponsors paid for them.  Most people believe that Oprah actually did something with her “Angel Network”. She didn’t.  She got her sheep to dump some pennies off at their local malls and then she jumped up and down about it on her show.  The only village she ever built was in Africa.  The place that she claims is her “home”.  Whatever. 

Wonder how far good ole Oprah would have gotten in the home of her heart?  I bet it wouldn’t have been half as far as she’s gotten in the U.S. of A.  Wonder why she can’t see that?  A fat, black, molested woman that became the richest woman in the world.  Where else but America could that happen?  I’ll just bet, no where.  But, that doesn’t stop her from building a multi-million dollar school in her “homeland”.  While thousands of kids in her very own Chicago, Illinois go hungry everyday.  Hmmm…..

I’m always amused when her audience goes into their girls at an N’Sync concert mode. They scream and yell and just want to touch her.  And she graciously allows them to. It’s rather mind boggling really.

Now, she’s on a big rant about how God is everywhere and her Big Give television show.  The Christian world is about to lose their minds in an effort to keep her from spouting her junk.  I’d say, don’t worry about it.  Anybody who’d fall for her crap probably isn’t going to be that dedicated to it anyway. If you’d fall for Oprahology, you’d probably fall for anything.  And her “Big Give” is pretty funny, too.  That’s about the best damn marketing I’ve ever seen.  Giving isn’t all that altruistic when you put it on national TV is it?  It wouldn’t hurt old Oprah to take a lesson from Bill and Melanie Gates.  I know he’s the richest guy around, but did you know they’re (Mr. and Mrs. Gates), the biggest givers in America?  And they never have to tell a soul.

She’s sucked every woman on the planet in with her constant weight loses and gains. After all, every woman except Giselle can relate to weight turmoils.  She’s NOT unaware of that either. She must be paying her marketing team a salary like nobodies business.  They’re the best I’ve ever seen.

And just when we think she’s gonna finally go away, she begrudgingly and after much consideration, decides that she’ll grace us all with her presence for just a few more years.  Big sigh…..

Maybe if the school in Africa continues to have the little girls molested, she’ll go away. More than likely that won’t happen though.  It’ll be just like that big college scholarship giveaway she had about 8 or 9 years ago.  Remember that?  She “raised” a bunch of money and then gave it away to some high school kids that she hand picked to receive the money.  That reads as a bunch of black kids with a token white or two thrown in. She never mentioned them again. That’s because after the tears dried, none of them but the token white or two finished the program.  That wouldn’t work for Oprah. After all, let’s be honest here. She’s racist to the bone. And that’s OK.  It’s America. But, let’s all quit pretending we didn’t know that, OK?

So…about one more thing at the African school, and that’ll be the last you here of it.  It’s just her way.  Bless her heart.  Maybe her and Gail can help each other over the trauma of it all.  Or not.

The best thing Oprah ever did is decide NOT to breed.  It’ll get her BS out of the gene pool.  And all those little sheep that follow her around, can get on with the business at hand. Hopefully, with the collective mindset that perhaps they should try and think for themselves for a change and quit relying on the Oprah book club to direct their lives. 

The misdirection of American politics…

The absolute ridiculousness that American politics has morphed into,  is almost funny. Except it’s not.  The POTUS is the most powerful man/woman (god forbid it’s Hillarby) in the free world.  And now they’re bitching about who bitches the most.   Incredible, yes?

The hard left bitches that Obama was given harder, more in depth questions than Hillary in the most recent debate.  The hard right is bitching about the same thing, because they are really closet lefters now.  Think…..neo-cons. 

When asked in a recent poll, most Americans believed that the Constitution of the United States of America is a document that protects their rights.  Well, for all you confused idiots out there, it doesn’t. It tells the government what they can and can’t do.  It’s the Bill of Rights that protects your rights.  Nothing more, nothing less.  However, the way things are now….I say, we just ship our, almost 250 year old, Constitution over to Iraq.  It was written by some of the smartest men to ever walk the planet and Iraq’s having a hell of time coming up with one of their own. We don’t use ours anymore, anyway.

Christians are hung up on abortion and gay rights, Muslims are hung up on bow or die, and  bleeding hearts the world over want us all to sing Kum-ba-Yah around a camp fire.  Well, first of all, what does politics have to do with someone’s personal religious or sexual choices?  What does politics have to do with whether it’s Koran or Q’uran?  And bleeding hearts of the world, get over it already. There’s always been a leader and there always will be.  Whether it’s the US, Britian, China, India, Japan or whoever.  That’s the way it is.  Deal already.

The real issues aren’t personal ones.  They are national ones. They are the ones no one talks about.  It’s politically incorrect to do so.  Well, that’s what I do best.

First of all, I want absolute freedom. I want the government out of my paycheck. It’s against the original form of the Constitution to tax my personal money.  I want Social Security abolished for anyone under 30 and weeded out for those that elect out. I’m not so damn stupid that I can’t save my own money. And for those that are, how’s that my problem?  And certainly, how’s that the governments problem?

I want illegal aliens carted the heck out of my country. They got here on an eighteen wheeler, they can damn well go back on one.  And I say we send the bill to Mexico and when it’s paid is when you’ll get your corn for your tortillas.

I want the government to quit supporting this nanny state mentality.  I want some personal responsibility pushed.  If you’ve got 12 baby’s daddy’s, then you damn well better have a sugar daddy, too.  And it’s not the government. Yes, we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It doesn’t say you can have it on MY dime, though. You’ll have to earn that liberty and happiness yourself and I’m sick unto death of the government redistributing MY money to sluts who suck the system dry.  Let’s get one thing clear for all you governmentally challenged. The government doesn’t make one red cent.  It’s OUR tax money that they are spending.  Got that yet?

American media outlets have taken a strong left turn into WTF?  Tyranny is old business.  It’s true freedom that’s the new thing.  We’re falling off the tracks. Quickly.  When Fox news can completely leave out a candidate from it’s debates, we’ve got a problem. When CNN can ignore the second place finisher in Nevada, we’ve got a problem. Whether you personally agree with that candidate or not.  What I’d like is for the media, as a whole, to keep the “truth” as they see it and just provide us with the FACTS. We can make our own decisions. Thanks though.

I’d like to hear about how our economy is going to be rebuilt. Not your “slogan” of change.  But your actual record of implementing the change that’s promised.  What I’d like to hear is not how your “going” to bring the troops home from Iraq, but how we’re getting the hell out of Japan, Germany, Korea, Europe, etc…  It’s not our problem people.  What part of that don’t you understand?  And that’s not isolation. That’s just not policing the world while our own country goes to hell.  We can have diplomatic relations without funding their border patrol.   Most Americans have no idea that we have thousands of American soldiers  guarding the border of South Korea.  How’s that protecting one single US citizen?

And for all of you who get warm and fuzzy over the illegal aliens invading our country, you may want to check out the new North American Union our government’s been working on.  Every candidate that the media is pushing has their signature on the paperwork to promote that.  It’s not a joke, it’s not an illusion. It’s happening. In January of this year, Condi Rice was in Canada to have some very guarded meetings about it. 

If the American people can’t get their fat butts off the couch long enough to see what’s happening around them, we’ll all be speaking Chinese in about 20 years.  And we’ll have no one but ourselves to blame. It’s not fear mongering. It’s reality.  You know, the primary reason that Rome fell was that they wanted to rule the world.  No one is that big or wealthy. The second reason they fell, was apathy.  Most Romans truly believed they couldn’t be beaten. Then along came a bunch of Barbarians who eventually ruled them all.

Political correctness is like a drug we just keep injecting ourselves with. Even though we know it’s killing us.  It’s time that the American people demand change. Not ask for it. Demand it.  It’s time that our government began to promote the general welfare and provide for the common good.  Our common good. Not anyone else’s.

 

 

 

 

What I think of PETA…

PETA is one of those groups that have found that incredible place in an organizations existence that provides them the opportunity to be as idiotic as they want to be.  They can throw paint on someones personal belongings and no one really blinks anymore. They can post those ridiculous naked posters all around town pronouncing that they’d rather go naked than wear fur.  As though anyone gives a crap what the members of PETA wear.  Their absolute willingness to make fools of themselves are probably the ONLY thing I admire about them.  I’ll give you some shining examples of PETA’s brilliance…

A few years ago, that paragon of virtue, Pamela Anderson Lee Rock (whatever Kid Rock’s last name is) Solomon or whatever she’s going by now, led a group in LA to raise 1,000,000.00 dollars to spay or neuter the homeless animals running around the County.  Doesn’t that make you want to say….HUH?  One more time:  They raised one million dollars to “fix” animals that nobody wanted. 

Let me tell you what I think they should do with those animals.  I think they should breed them like freakin’ rabbits.  Yep!  Then, let’s ship the little buggers over to Africa as dog stew. After all, when you’re starving, I’m sure it tastes like chicken.  This kills two birds with one stone.  The stray animal population is under control in LA, cause we all know that’s a big deal!, and the people in Africa are getting fed.  OH!  Hey, there may be a third reason this is good, too.  It would give Obama less of an excuse to send our tax dollars over there to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in this last bill he’s trying to get passed.  WOW!  Even I almost missed that third benefit.

And all that dog stew would sit well with the rest of the world, too. See, they all eat dog and cat. Or, quite a few of them do.  So while PETA would gripe and complain about it, they may very well have to put on their big people underwear and shut up.  The rest of the world would begin to respect us again.  All because of those dogs nobody else wanted anyway.

One of the funniest members of PETA’s esteemed list of celebrities is Leo DiCaprio.  What a complete idiot.  He fits right in, I’m sure.  While Leo was dining in a restaurant in Kentucky he became very upset about the poor lobsters trapped in the lobster tank.  He could see them from his table and they must have been calling to him.  

Not long after entering the restaurant, Leo gets up and races to the lobster tank.  He then proceeds to grab some of the lobsters and hurry outside  where our brilliant actor then releases the lobsters to “freedom”.  After all, don’t lobsters deserve to be free?  I’d say that’s questionable to me and the lobsters.  After all, he was in Kentucky and I hear suffocation is a bad way to go.  Wonder if Leo made his penance with the gods of PETA? 

You know, I think we have countless other things to worry about and spend millions of dollars on other than saving baby seals or minks. Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t mind making sure that animals aren’t burned or tortured. That’s just sick.  I think the Michael Vick’s of the world will get theirs.  But, I’d say the members of PETA should really prioritize a little.

And a note of warning to all PETA members:  If you ever throw paint on MY fur coats, you better darn well be ready to pay the consequences of your actions.  Those consequences would entail ripping your hair out by the roots and dragging your naked butt down the street.  My personal property is mine and I’ll defend it whether you like it or not.  It’s the same as keying or damaging someones car or home and they are way out of control. A little perspective wouldn’t hurt them, I’d think.

While America’s economy goes down the tubes, straight to the pockets of OPEC, I think there’s bigger things to worry about than wearing fur.  I think the caribou may have to get over it when that Alaskan pipeline opens.  Or not.  And if PETA chooses to stand and block the way, then they’ll have to face those consequences.  Frankly, I think the world would be a better place if we mowed one or two of them over.  Take one for the team folks, get out of the gene pool.

It’s time for America to begin to view things in the correct perspective.  Animals are so far down on the list, we may or may not get to them in this century or the next.  Deal with it.

More political incorrectness tomorrow…

 

Can’t let it go…

I thought that I could let the Michelle and Barrack Hussein Obama statements go.  It turns out, I can’t.

There were countless sites that went on and on about how Unamerican Michelle Obama’s statements to some women at a daycare in Ohio were.  I disagree. I think they’re completely American.  The fact is, that here in America, we have a right to say anything that we want.  Even if you don’t like it.  Even if you’re personally offended.  And even if it’s something that is personally offensive.  You’ll have to put on your grown up panties and deal with it.

Her comments that people should give up being doctors and lawyers and go into public service because the cost to repay your college loans was just too much, were, in my opinion, ridiculous and hypocritical but nonetheless completely and utterly within her American rights of free speech.  She’s making six figures at her “public service” job at the hospital. Which, by the way, almost tripled when her hubby became a United States Senator.  If we could all rake in that kind of dough being “servants” of the public, they’d charge more for it in college, too.  That’s not the case.  And she’s aware of that.

It’s not required that she throw that little tidbit in when she’s pimping for Obama.  And frankly, do you blame her?  After all, we’d hate for anyone to look up his announced income in the Senator’s public records.  Even without the Senatorial salary, he raked in 1.9 million in book deals.  And don’t get it twisted, I’m all for capitalism and all it entails.  I don’t begrudge him a penny of his money. Or her either, for that matter.

What I do mind is the crap that they both spew and so many people buy.  This is the same guy who stood at a podium and proclaimed that we live in the greatest nation on the planet. And then proclaimed rather loudly, “ Join me in my campaign for change.”  At least the guy’s up front with his agenda, huh?

Other than the fact that his voting record doesn’t coincide with ANY of the things he says, his absolute ability to avoid the question is almost Bill Clinton like.  And people stand around and nod their heads as though we’re watching a rerun of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I don’t care if Obama and Michelle are closet racists or if they’re Muslim or Christian.  I don’t care if they make millions or proclaim themselves public servants and give all that cash to the poor.  It’s not relevant to anything having to do with the Presidency.  Which is quite probably the point.  It seems the average apathetic  American needs diversion.

What I do care about is that his voting record is so far from what he says that it’s almost funny. Except it’s not.  What I do care about is that there are people in America  who actually believes that he didn’t know what Jeremiah was preaching about.  He did.  What I do care about is that he’s trying to pass a bill that he’d like to see another 845,000,000,000.00  (damn, that’s a lot of zero’s) of our tax money shipped out to the solve the world’s problems.  Mainly, Africa’s.  Cause that’s totally America’s problem, right?  Didn’t trying to buy loyalty already cause us enough problems? 

What I do care about are the stringent voters who whined when Bush admitted to using drugs but stand staunch that Obama’s use just makes him more human.  You guys are a shining beacon in a dark sea of insanity.

What I do care about is that he’s trying to “change” this country, alright.  He’s trying to change this country into an entire nation of public servants. And it’s him and those like him that we’d be serving.  Thanks Michelle and Obama, but I’ll pass.

And one more thing……One of the things that Michelle said at that daycare was that her and Obama understood struggle. They’d really been eyeball deep in debt up until just a few years ago and she could totally relate to us regular women.  Uh huh.  They couldn’t figure out how to budget with almost 500,000 before the book deals and her raise?  WOW!  I don’t think I want someone who’s that bad with money having to worry with our tax dollars.  And I certainly don’t think they’d be capable of organizing “universal” health care.  Thanks, though. 

I’d encourage every person considering voting for him to really take a good hard look at his voting record.  It’s incredibly….Marxist.  But that’s just me.  You go ahead and vote with your heart.  Charisma is a priceless commodity for the most powerful position in the free world.  After all, it’s too much like work to engage the brain, right?  BAAAAAAAA………

More political incorrectness tomorrow…

Illegal still means you’re a criminal….right?

You know, the complete apathy with which most people approach illegal immigration is astounding to me.  The apathy with which the government appraoches illegal aliens, pisses me off.  Isn’t their primary job to take care of the American people?  Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare?  Ever hear of those things, folks?

I’m sick unto death of hearing bleeding hearts say, “Well, they just want a better life,” “They’re not hurting anyone,” “Immigrants helped build this country into what it is.”  Oh, please! 

First of all, if they want a better life, work on your own country and quit stealing from mine.  They ARE hurting everyone in this country.  Let’s get some facts here, ok?  Maybe that’ll work better.  The illegals of today are not the same as the ones from yesterday.  The Irish, German and Asian immigrants came willing to fully embrace the American way.  That included speaking English, getting an education, and integrating fully into American society.  You have seen a photo of Ellis Island, right?  Today, we’re expected to use tax payers money to pay for interpreters in public schools.  And the students are still not learning English. They don’t want to.  As for integrating, why should they?  All they need to do is press 2 for Espanol.

Recently, in a California school where almost the entire school speaks Spanish, the students took down the American flag and replaced it with a Mexican one.  They didn’t stop there. They then hung the American flag upside down underneath the Mexican flag.  For all you out there who don’t get it, that signals, and is a symbol of, defeat.  All while they’re going to American schools and stealing taxpayers money.  Almost 80% of the student body in that school are there with parents who are illegal aliens.  And the government isn’t doing a thing.  For that matter, neither are most of the population who live there that are legal.  Mind boggling, isn’t it?

Another eye-opener is the number of illegal aliens that are involved in car accidents.  To be accurate our lawmakers don’t even keep a record of it.  Isn’t that rich?  How many records of you do you think they have?   It’s estimated, from what we do know, that illegal immigrants are involved in almost 25%  of all car accidents.  WOW! That’s one in four.  If that doesn’t get your blood boiling, then you’re just not as quick as you should be.  I’ll help you out.

They have no insurance.  Most flee the scene and can’t even be given a ticket.  An officer in Austin, TX. said it’s like ticketing a ghost.  Many are injured in the car accident they caused. They injure thousands and thousands of hard-working Americans who then have no recourse. Even if someone they loved was killed.   How many of these criminals do you think have insurance?  That’s right….none!   And then they go to our emergency rooms like it’s a damn charity.   Well, our government has made it one, hasn’t it?

Let’s clear that up before moving forward.  Hospitals are not charities.  When the general population began to view them as such, is beyond me.  And frankly, if you can’t pay, then you shouldn’t recieve any service.  PERIOD.  If you have no proof of citizenship, then you should not be allowed to obtain any medical care other than life or death situations. PERIOD.  If you don’t like it, you know where the border is, right?

Back to the point….When illegal criminals go into our health systems, I’ll give you one guess as to who pays for that.  If you work and pay taxes, then it’s you.  YOU pay for it.  And it’s complete and utter crap. 

The government has become so infused with political correctness that they no longer allow anyone to be asked what their citizenship status is.  WHAT?  If you’re here legally, then you wouldn’t be offended, right?  So who exactly are they protecting and why?   Where is the American outrage at this? 

Illegal aliens are stealing from the American people.  They are invading our country. They are stealing food stamps that American mothers and children need. They are stealing our Social Security.  That they have NOT paid into, by the way.  Let’s not even get into all the other things that the government has done with your Social Security that they are stealing from you because they think you’re too damn stupid to save it yourself!  Cause they’re doing such a good job of it!

Illegal aliens in LA county alone cost the Los Angeles citizens millions of dollars because the ballots had to be reprinted with English and Spanish.  If you can’t speak the language, then how can you vote?  There’s irony there I’m sure.  Let’s not even get into the amount of money that’s been spent on recording crap in Spanish on American phones.  It’s rediculous.

We have a wonderful immigration policy in this country.  I welcome anyone from any country who follows it.  Anyone who doesn’t, should be removed posthaste.  And I don’t care how they’re removed. They got here piled up in eighteen wheelers.  I say we pile them back up and ship them out.  However we can do that the cheapest is fine with me.  After all, they’ve already stolen about as much from me as I’m willing to stand for.  And by the way, that gas bill for the eighteen wheelers should be sent to Mexico. If they don’t want to pay it, then we should remove their free corn from the American people’s backs.  They can grow their own.  Check out what happened the last time we didn’t ship over enough corn.  They’d pay the gas bill.

The American people should demand that the government stop trying to pass amnesty bills and begin to apprehend illegal criminals.   That includes the ones in prison who make up over 17% nationwide (this comes straight from the Justice Dept. figures)  of the entire prison population. In California, it’s believed to be almost 50% of the prison population.   That’s incredibly disproportionate to the percentage of the population that they make up.  So all you proponents of these criminals can keep your stupid stories about how they are all hard working and just want to make a better life.  And keep in mind, those prison illegals are stealing your tax money , too.

My personal favorite is the loop hole they have raped from the United States Constitution.  The one where they come over here and pop out their little meal ticket.  Not only do I think that that baby should NOT be an American citizen, I think it should be dumped off at the border with it’s lying, stealing, criminal parents.  And the hospital bill should also be sent to Mexico.  It’s not our problem. But, our government is making it one.

We need to take a stand now.  Before we have nothing left to stand for.  Or we can always look forward to pressing 2 for English.

Your mortgage isn’t anyone else’s fault

I was recently in a debate with someone who believed that the government was to blame for the upswing in foreclosures across America.  His point of view was that the big, bad American government had somehow tricked these innocent, unsuspecting people into buying a house with a mortgage they couldn’t afford.

His argument was if the government hadn’t lowered the interest rates on those up and down mortgages, which he didn’t even know the name of , that these poor folks wouldn’t have ever considered purchasing that house.  My response….uh huh.  It’s called an adjustable rate mortgage.

Let me clear you up on a thing or two my friend.  It’s called an adjustable rate for a reason.  It means they can adjust it after a certain amount of time.  That time frame is revealed up front,  by the way.  They are given a Good Faith Estimate on that mortgage, the minute they sit down to discuss the house that they couldn’t afford.

They are then talked through the entire process and given a month to close on their soon-to-be home.  At the closing table, they go over all these things again.  Multiple times, actually. Including, but not limited to, their payment, how it could change, when it’s due, accrued interest, etc… It’s not rocket science.

It’s not the governments fault people are stupid. It’s not the governments fault that these people just had to have that big house. It’s their fault.  Period.  They want to live like the people on MTV.  They want things they simply cannot afford.  And then, when they dig their hole, they want someone to come and help them out of it.

I explained to him in detail that, first of all, the government doesn’t make any money to come and bail these idiots out of their mistake.  That’s my money.  It’s called tax dollars.  It’s not there to help you out.  It’s there to protect the American people and provide for the common defense.  Not provide for people with no sense.

Adjustable rates, or ARM, mortgages aren’t designed for long-term house purchases.  That’s why they go up at the end of their fixed term.  They’re designed for short-term purchases or for people who have crap credit but have the sense to build that back up with their mortgage and then refinance.  If you’re too stupid to do that, then don’t get an ARM.  DUH!  How’s that my problem?

At the end of the conversation, my incompetent debate buddy pretty much backed down with the acknowledgment that perhaps he wasn’t clear enough on mortgages to debate.  I agreed.  Then I added a little more.  It seemed as though the filter from my brain to my mouth was out of order that day.

I suggested that perhaps he read up a little more on personal responsibility.  It’s an underrated and hard to find commodity these days.  If you’re too stupid to figure out what a rates that can be adjusted is, maybe you should rent a little longer.  If you’re looking for someone to bail you out because you’re too stupid to read the paperwork on your note and mortgage, then perhaps you should kiss my butt.  It’s not my problem and no one from the government held a gun to your head and made you sign those papers.

I think it’s about time that foreclosures picked up anyway.  Maybe people will learn their lesson about trying to live like a movie star and quit watching the junk that floats around on the tube these days.  Just maybe, there’s a chance that they’ll start to see that their mistakes are just that….theirs.   Not the governments, not mine, not yours.  But theirs.  The people who are actually trying to claim that they didn’t understand that their adjustable rate would, wonder of wonders, adjust, should rethink the implications of that statement. 

The kind that’s fixed and doesn’t change is, originally enough, called a fixed mortgage.

Bitter little pill to swallow, but give it try.

General rantings of a Politically Incorrect Mom

I’m, politically, a human resource nightmare.  I’m sick unto death of political correctness.  It’s like a drug we’re continually injecting ourselves with, even though we know it’s killing us.

I’m tired of of all the media “truths”.  How about just plain old facts for a change?  We really aren’t so stupid that we can’t decide what’s best for each one of us. Regardless of what the government and media tell us. Right?

I’m tired of having to tip toe around the “N” word as though it’s some holy grail that signifies who someone is.  Doesn’t anyone remember Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech?  He said he wanted his kids to “not” be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.  Doesn’t anyone see the “not” in that sentence.   Do you really believe that he would approve of black people calling one another “nigga”?  I think he’d be appalled and ashamed.  It’s that very thing that he wanted to avoid.

That statement implies, quite clearly, that what he invisioned was a world where skin color was no longer an issue. Certainly not how you define yourself.  After all, what exactly is “owning your blackness” or “white pride”?  Considering that you had nothing to do with it, I’d say that’s pretty stupid.  After all, isn’t pride by it’s actual definition something that you personally accomplished?  How’d you have anything to do with your color?  Hmmm……

And another thing, what’s up with being Latin-American, African-American, Asian-American or anything other than being plain old American?  Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing?

We live in the wealthiest, strongest, and most powerful nation in the world.  With all the opportunities we have, who wouldn’t be proud of that?  Obviously, quite a few.

What’s up with illegals coming here and eating for free off my money.  I’m not a charity and don’t want the government using my money they forcefully take from me to make me one.  It’s about time something was done about that. 

What’s up with not being able to ask someone’s citizenship status?  If you’re here legally, then what’s the problem? Isn’t being here illegally still a crime?   Do you have to ask someone if they can be arrested for robbery if they’re stealing from a business?  I didn’t think so.  So why should we not be able to ask if someone is here legally and not a criminal?  It makes no sense at all.  And yet, most people are swallowing that jagged little pill and not saying a word.

I think it’s time that we have a Revolution.  A genuine, overthrowing of the politically correct junk that’s infiltrating our nation.  If that includes the government, then so be it.  If they won’t listen to the people and what we want, then the Constitution provides for us to change it ourselves.  It’s about time that we do.

More political incorrectness tomorrow…
