2011 Wrap up, 2012 Preview...

It’s been a long time since I’ve actually put out a complete blog. I have spent a lot of time resorting to Tweets and Facebook updates. However, as we wrap up 2011, I want to discuss the coming election year and the importance of conservatives uniting and standing on principles.

In 2011, the GOP establishment continued to miss the point of the 2010 elections and what the Tea Party and conservative mandate meant. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have both been incredible let-downs in leadership. I have felt betrayed and disappointed in the Republican Party in 2011. If we want a chance at real change in 2012, some attitudes will need to change, some spines will need to stiffen, and some leaders will need to stand up.

The debt ceiling debacle was a colossal failure. There is no way the government collapses if the ceiling is hit. Perhaps some services will need to be temporarily closed, but there is a monthly income of approximately $392 BILLION. The President of the United States and the US Treasury Department have sole discretion over how monies are spent should there be an uncovered portion of the budget and Congress has not given authorization for additional borrowing. Therefore, boys and girls, had the GOP stood strong and fought to the bitter end for real spending cuts, not gotten it, and the debt ceiling had been reached, Obama and his Treasury guru Timothy Geithner would have to decide how to spend the $392 BILLION. So, if they opted not to send Social Security checks or checks to the military, it would have been Obama’s responsibility and choice to do that. Yet, instead of getting that message, you know, the TRUTH out, the GOP buckled. For some reason, Boehner and the GOP establishment just don’t get it. They still think giving in to the left will somehow garner favor and fairness from the mainstream media and Obama himself. Not going to happen.

The GOP is still dying for a leader who will step up and lead and not buckle to pressure. The stakes are too high now for us to continue to be weak in the knees. ObamaCare will, in fact, destroy what’s left of our healthcare system. Health Care needs REAL reform, and not a bunch of bureaucracy that will put government between people who need care and the doctors they want to see. ObamaCare is making it harder for insurance companies to be viable. It is designed to force insurance companies out of business, thus forcing a need for a “public” system. Which is just an awesome idea. Look how well the government can deliver mail on time, or how profitable Amtrak has become, or how well the VA system meets the health needs of all veterans. The government cannot get FEMA trailers into New Orleans for weeks after a hurricane they knew about 6 days ahead of time. Yet we want them to take over health care and life and death decisions? Really?

Health Care needs reform. Lawyers have too much power and influence the cost of health care more than anything else. Yet, because most of the Democratic Party is run by lawyers, no one dared address lawsuit abuse in the health care bill. The GOP needs to fight and make the repeal of this travesty the number one priority on January 20, 2013. Second priority is the repeal of Dodd-Frank. Third priority is to open the way for the pipeline from Canada to the gulf. Getting those three priorities accomplished would do wonders for the economy. Here’s how…
Repealing ObamaCare will release billions of dollars in bureaucracy off the backs of businesses, big and small. Even if the company tries to save some money by dropping coverage and paying the fine, they would still be paying people to deal with the red tape and bureaucracy to pay those fines. Now, without that burden, they could afford to recruit and retain the best people for their company. With the best people performing and content with their jobs, their productivity improves, the company improves, and more jobs can be created. Not to mention the thousands of people who work for insurance companies whose jobs would really be saved (as opposed to the fictitious saved or created jobs we keep hearing about.).

Dodd-Frank is terrible law. It makes banking, seeking loans, and anything financial excruciatingly painful, especially if you are a small business. Dodd-Frank is killing jobs on a daily basis. Banks are laying people off in 2011 to get ready for policies within Dodd-Frank that take effect over the next two years. Dodd-Frank is bad law, not to mention it’s complete lack of reform to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (of course having nothing to do with those two failed institutions undying and exorbitant financial backing of Democrat candidates, particularly Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Barack Obama). The repeal of Dodd-Frank will alleviate the immense pressure being brought to bear on the business community. If it’s easier to operate, it’s easier to produce, it’s easier to create profit, and then it’s easier to grow and hire.

President Obama is holding 20,000, jobs hostage until after the 2012 elections. The Keystone pipeline, by itself, would create a buzz in the American economy. This pipeline would run from Canada to Texas. It would create a minimum of 20,000 jobs. It would lead to a lessening of America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil. American construction technology would make it one of the safest pipelines in the world. We have a so many pipelines in the harsh conditions of Alaska. Does anyone know the last time one of them burst? Wouldn’t building in the mid-west be far less risky? Yet, despite already recorded and reported environmental studies giving the pipeline the O.K., Obama is giving in to environmentalist wackos and holding these jobs and economic buzz hostage for political reasons.

So, when a Republican is sworn in on January 20, 2013, authorizing the pipeline would open the proverbial floodgates to some economic improvement in the nation. On Monday, July 28, 2008, George W. Bush announced the lifting of the executive moratorium on the harvesting of oil shale in the western US. That day…THAT DAY…gas prices dropped. Gas prices dropped all the way through the election. Gas was $1.85 when Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009. $1.85. Just think how fast prices would drop again with the announcement that we’re going to give ourselves access to more Canadian oil that’s cheaper.

Think…how much better would your holidays have been if you were paying under $2/gallon at the pump?

As I look at the field of GOP Candidates, I am slightly disappointed. Instead of running against Obama, they have taken to tearing each other down. I have not chosen a candidate out of the remaining field. My pick was Herman Cain. However, the hatred of a black conservative was too much for him to put his family through. And that is a shame. Lies and baseless accusations can prevent a black conservative from running for office. Had Cain been a liberal, the women making the accusations would have been vilified as racists and had their worst, darkest secrets exposed on the mainstream media.

However, out of the field remaining, I wish Rick Santorum would gain more traction. Romney and Gingrich leave me slightly uneasy. Their records suggest they are prone to some of the problems I have with Boehner and McConnell in the Congress. They seem vulnerable to giving in and getting weak-kneed when pressured by the media and liberals in Washington. Michelle Bachmann is great in the House, but she does not have the strength or delivery in presentation to defeat Obama. Ron Paul is a crazy, hapless hack. When he is lucid, he makes some sense on domestic economic issues. Foreign policy, however, is his weakness and, if elected to the White House, would spark the third world war, while we sit at home and wait for the evil of the world to come calling. As for Huntsman, his daughters are very pretty, but that’s the only thing he’s brought worthwhile to the campaign. That being said, I do not want this guy anywhere near the GOP Convention next fall. He is NOT conservative. He is barely Republican.

So, of the field, my endorsement at this time goes to Santorum. He is the real conservative leader in the pack, no matter how much Charles Krauthammer or the other pundits in conservative media want to bury him and pretend he’s not a candidate. However, because, for whatever reason, he is not getting the traction he needs, I think thanks in no small part to Fox News burying everyone BUT Romney and Gingrich, I will probably go with writing in Gingrich on my Virginia ballot.

Nonetheless, whoever gets the GOP nomination will need to step up and lead. He or she will need to absorb the slings and arrows from the left. He or she will have to stick to their principles. If they stand up, run against Obama and his failed policies, hammer home the idea that Obama had all three branches of government under his control until January 2011, when the GOP took the House (thus getting through everything he really wanted to), and showing how America is worse off than it was in 2008, we can win a Republican Supermajority and get rid of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and clear the way for the Keystone pipeline. Those three agenda items would set the foundation for a revived economy…if only the GOP has the intestinal fortitude to do it.

Things That Are Annoying Me

While I usually aim for a targeted rant, the following will be a list of random, various issues that are particularly annoying or upsetting to me. Read, enjoy, and feel free to comment.

1) Everytime I watch one of those anti-cruelty ads on TV, whether it is Sarah McGlaughlin or anyone else, my heart hurts. Any human that does to animals what they show in those ads is a sick, sad, evil person. Yes, even Michael Vick, whose return to the NFL I supported only because he paid a hefty price and deserves a second chance at life. The fact still remains that he either is, or used to be, very sick and heartless. Anyone who is cruel to animals and causes the scars and injuries that these commercials show is someone that deserves prison time. It literally makes me fighting mad.

2) I think that we are far too understanding or forgiving to people that hurt children. Child molesters and child rapists are sick, twisted scum. Anyone that hurts a child is the lowest life form on Earth. As a Christian, I struggle with these types of people because I want to rid the world of their presence. Anyone that rapes or molests a child has no useful purpose on this planet. Their life is worthless. Yet there are those that are so worried about the molester's rights and treatment and forgiveness. There are just some things that are not forgivable. Hurting a child through rape or molestation is one of those unforgivable sins. Carl Lee Hailey is a hero.

3) I am so tired of minorities crying race everytime things do not get their way. I can't criticize President Obama without someone thinking I am a bigot and do not like him because he is black. I cannot speak out against illegal immigrants without being thought of as prejudice against Latinos. I am tired of every business having to kiss minority butt to avoid being called racist. Yes, I know racism exists. I know that some people hate people for no other reason that the color of their skin or their last name. However, asking the government to interveve on your behalf every time things do not go your way only further handicaps you and your people. If you work hard in school, work hard at your job, and become someone with valuable talents and experiences, you will get to wherever you want to go. But, if you are lazy and want everything handed to you because of things that happened 100 years ago, get the heck out of the way and stop your crying. Martin Luther King, Jr., wanted blacks to EARN the right to get what white people have, and not be given everything simply because life ain't fair. Dr. King would be disgusted with the plight of blacks today because blacks defeat themselves more than any racist boss could.

4) I am tired of the thought that the rich should pay for EVERYTHING. Tax the rich...buy health care. Tax the rich...build roads. Tax the rich...build a water fountain in an unused park and name it after a Congressman or Congresswoman. There are just some things that people need to work for and buy themselves. The more you tax the rich, the less they buy and the less they hire. I have never gotten a job from a poor person. Poor people cannot put other people to work.

Let's say you have a mouse problem. You get a cat. Can you teach a cat to hunt mice if you trap and bring the dead mice to the cat? No. The cat will stop worrying about hunting because you take away the drive. Same applies to giving everything away to the poor. If you GIVE them everything they want and need, the desire to go get it is dissolved. The rich should not pay for everything. The poor sometimes needs to get off their laurels and go EARN it.

5) President Obama selects a general to head the war in Afghanistan. In the middle of the summer, Obama's appointed general tells Obama what he needs to win the war in Afghanistan. You know, the war that Obama supported winning throughout the campaign? So, here was are, four months later, Obama is bowing in Communist China and taking softball questions from hand-picked Communist Chinese students, and bowing to the Premier of Japan, and still no decision on whether Obama wants to win the war or not. Sometimes, when there is a life or death decision to be made, not making a decision is a decision. So, by not deciding, Obama is deciding to lose the war in Afghanistan. Thus, we have dropping troop morale in that war. So, Obama, thank you for your undying support of our military.

6) I am so tired of these bleeding heart morons who cry about free health care. Well, let me say this. You will get what you pay for. If you look at Medicare and Medicaid, as well as the VA medical system, they are all riddled with failures in service, fraud, unpaid doctors, and the government making decisions on life and death procedures and care. There are options for emergency care. If you break your leg, you will get treated. If you have cancer, there are organizations out there to help you. If the only place you can get insurance is a job you aren't happy at, well tough. Why do I have to suffer because you want me to buy your health care instead of you sucking it up and being a responsible adult? The government cannot handle ANYTHING efficiently. So, why am I going to have to deal with beauracratic nightmares so that you can have government insurance?

NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CAN MATCH OUR QUALITY OF CARE. WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY THAT????

7) The Ft. Hood massacre was the work of one man...and he is something no one outside of Fox News Channel will say. Everyone is so afraid of saying the truth, it is sickening, sad, and dangerous. Malik Nadal Hasan is a MUSLIM EXTREMIST TERRORIST. He is all three. 1) MUSLIM. 2) EXTREMIST. 3) TERRORIST. He is not Christian, we know that because if a Christian killed someone, that is the first word of every paragraph of every report. Someone "thought" the man who killed an abortion doctor was a Christian right-wing extremist, and that is how he was labled. A Chrisitan right-wing extremist. Yet, they refuse to name the guy that kills 13 American soldier and wounds 31 more. They softly read his name, hoping that by not annunciating it, even coughing as they say it, they can avoid identifying him as a MUSLIM EXTREMIST. "*COUGH*Malik Nadal Hasan *COUGH* is the alleged shooter in the Ft. Hood massacre. He might have ties to some groups against America's war on Islam."

Malik Nadal Hasan is an EXTREMIST. A MUSLIM EXTREMIST.

Just like Abdulhakim Muhammad, who shot and killed a US Army soldier at a recruiting station in Arkansas in June 2009, is a MUSLIM EXTREMIST.

I am so tired of the silence of the peace-loving Muslim community, much like I am so tired of the media covering up the religion and extremism of remorseless killers like Hasan and Muhammad. The fact that there isn't a more vocal anti-terrorism and anti-murderous faction of the Muslim community starts to make one wonder...maybe this whole religion of peace thing is just false advertising...

8) Trying the 9-11 terrorists in US Courts is a political sham. It is heartless. It is stupid. It will make a mockery of the CIA, Homeland Security, the US Military, and the Bush Administration. All reasons why the Obama Administration is so in support of the idea. Any time that they can take a shot at the CIA, the military, or Bush, you better believe that shot will be taken. It scares me to think what a liberal judge is going to do with this case. Are the confessions going to be thrown out because of a lack of Miranda Rights? Are these murderous terrorists going to be allowed media time to spew their hatred and filth? Are these murderous scum going to have access to all of the rights of the US Constitution, the very document they were trying to destroy with their attacks on the US?

This whole show is a sham and political ploy to unearth classified documents and information for public view. Part of that public includes international courts, who could, and likely would, use that information to indict the Bush administration. Something Obama knows would be politically dangerous to do on his own. However, if he uses the US Civilian Courts to open up the classified documents, the international courts have all the ammo they need to twist and attack Bush.

9) I am so tired of every liberal fool blaming Bush for everything that is wrong. Obama has NO ACCOUNTABILITY with these people. Bush supporters give Bush credit for the rights AND the wrongs his administration were responsible for. Obama does nothing wrong. If something doesn't work, it is because Bush screwed things up worse than we thought.

So, passing a stimulus on the promise of a peaking unemployment rate in early summer fails. It is because Bush messed up the economy worse than Obama thought. Hmmm...okay. Let's give you that. So, that means Obama is responsible for rushing to throw good money after bad in haste when he took office? No. Obama does not get blamed for acting without proper planning. He doesn't get blame for not properly assessing the situation before passing nearly $2,000,000,000,000 in spending in less than a month. Obama gets no blame from his side.

I am tired of the sheeple that walk behind Obama no matter what, no questions asked. These sheeple will walk straight off a cliff...and take a large portion of the country and world with them.

Ok, I feel better. My 10 rants are out. I will go to bed now.

Imagine...

Imagine...
Going to work and sitting at your desk, upset the boss just passed you up for a promotion. You're gonna have to stay late today and miss your daughter's dance recital. Suddenly, you are thrown five city blocks in the air. You never knew what hit you.

Imagine...
Sitting in your office and you are in complete disbelief. You cannot leave your building. The skyscraper you are in is on fire. The building is shaking. Word you are getting is that the stairs and elevators are all blocked with fired and debris. The heat is building. There is no escape. There will be no rescue. Do you wait to die? Or do you jump. You see others pass your window. You ask God's forgiveness as you take control of the one thing left in your power.

Imagine...
Storming to your cubicle. You had just had a major fight with your husband. You both said some mean, hurtful things. You sit in your ergonomic chair and silently, deep in your mind and soul, you take minor comfort knowing that you guys will be able to kiss and make up at 5:30 tonight at dinner. A flash of light and glass, your life is over.

Imagine...
Running the halls of the Pentagon to an important meeting. Something is developing in New York City that is going to have a drastic impact on National Security. You stumble on the loose corner of a rug, you curse the rug, look up as the wall to your right crushes your body. The last thing you smell is burning wood and scorched concrete.

Imagine...
Waking up, trying to regain your bearings. A second ago, you were at the watercooler talking about the new college football season. You think Florida State is going to make a run at it, but your buddy said his money was on USC. Now, the room is dark. Your buddy isn't anywhere in sight. You realize people are beating you with coats and pillows. You then realize the pain coming from your back and arms. You are covered in flaming jet fuel. You scream in pain before you fall into shock, then die.

Imagine...
Responding to the mass confusion of two planes flying into the World Trade Center. There are no elevators. No word on the conditions of the stairwells. All you want to do is get to the fires and help the people. You grab your 80 pounds of gear and climb the 80 flights of stairs...1 grueling flight per minute. You hear another series of explosions. Has another plane hit?! You never hear the answer as the floor above you lands on your skull.

Imagine...
Trying to organize batallions and companies of firefighters from the ground. These men are your responsibility. You send them up the towering inferno. The first tower collapses, you dive into a stairwell. When the dust starts to clear, a man who is a friend and the chaplain to the entire fire department lies next to you, dead.

Imagine...
Sitting on a flight to the west coast. Suddenly, men have taken over the plane. They have killed one person with a boxcutter. They have taken the cockpit and are now flying the plane to a new destination, or, more appropriately, target. You and others get in contact with people on the ground. This plane, appearantly, is the fourth in a targeted attack on America and innocent civilians. You don't know of the horrors of people burning alive in the Twin Towers...You only know what the inevitable has now become, and what you must do about it. You follow the lead of four men, one of whom yells, "Let's Roll." A short fight occurs in the cockpit. The plane loses control, turns over, and crashes into the ground. You knew going into the cockpit, these murderous scum had already determined that you and everyone else was going to die. So, you and the others aboard determined the how and when and took back some control.

Imagine...
That you had been in the Twin Towers or the Pentagon or Flight 93. That your life was taken by murderous, evil scum of the Earth that took part in killing 3000+ innocent civilians. Imagine that you were taken in an instant, without chance to say sorry for your wrongs, to make up for the mistakes you made with loved ones, or to just meet your life's potential. Imagine, even worse, you suffered and died in the fires and smoke in the aftermath of the plane crashes. You felt your flesh melt under the heat of the jet fuel. Imagine the pain and shock of knowing you were going to die and there was nothing you could do. Imagine the horrors of 9/11/01, and you were destined to become one of the many faces on the memorial walls dedicated to the victims of the attacks.

Imagine...

Now, Imagine...
A large, loud-mouth portion of the country takes your death and uses it for political gain. They accuse the President of knowing and covering up the fact that the US Government knew, and quite possibly took part in, the acts that killed you.

Imagine...
An entire political party wants to give the same people that helped planned the attacks access to US Courts and the US Constitution. From the new President through both houses of Congress, there are those that want to offer full rights and privileges to the same group of people who trained to kill you. That the new President wants to move the terrorist scum from an off-shore military base to on-shore, US federal prisons, with full access to legal representation, full Miranda Rights, and full Constitutional protection.

Imagine...
The new President and his party attacking and distracting the efforts of intelligence agencies on a daily basis. That party uses the newspapers to discredit and attack these intelligence agencies for scaring or causing discomfort to people that have information that could be used to save more people from your fate.

Imagine...
A President and his party requiring US Soldiers to hesitate everytime they arrest or even engage with an enemy. Instead of trying to protect themselves from dying on the battlefield, they have to worry about what a Democratic senator will say about them if they kill an enemy. They have to worry about some politician calling for a full trial if you kill someone who poses a threat. They have to offer Miranda Rights to terrorists they capture on the battlefield.

Imagine...
The new President refusing to call the groups that are responsible for your death "terrorists." And he doesn't call it a "war on terror," but some sort of contingency plan. The new President apologizes to unfriendly nations for how America defended itself.

Imagine...
Eight years after your death, your death is memorialized by the new President as a call to community service. Instead of calling for a restrengthening of our pursuit of Bin Laden and al Qeada and preventing more terrorist attacks on US soil, the President says America should go out and pick up litter on the highway or other such community service. He in effect dismisses your sacrifice and your murder by saying 9-11 is a day of service.

Imagine...
You are looking down on the current administration and the party in power. Are you feeling forgotten? Are you feeling disgraced? Do you think you and the 3000 other men, women, and children who died on 9-11-01 are being memorialized appropriately and with respect?

The Hate Mongering of MSNBC and the Left

Watch Keith Olbermann use his post on MSNBC to spread his own version of hate, venom, and propaganda. MSNBC is the mouthpiece of left, liberal hate of conservatives.



Instead of covering it as a tragedy and addressing the true decency and heroics of the security guards, Olbermann uses this 6 minute segment to group all right wingers into the same group as the evil jerk that opened fire in the Holocaust Museum.

The evil dirt bag that opened fire is plain evil. He is called a terrorist several times by Olbermann, which is the only thing I agree with in the whole rant. However, the rant's purpose to is to lump all conservatives into the same category. I am aghast at the hypocrisy.

First, and most troubling, given our current plight thanks to the President that MSNBC (and Chris Matthews' tingling feelings in his legs) helped elect, is the fact that this guy, whose name I refuse to repeat in hopes that he is forgotten and not immortalized in print any more than necessary, is in fact a terrorist. A hate monger. A killer. An evil creature. Olbermann vilifies him, correctly. Where was this same scrutiny of William Ayers? Ayers did much the same type of domestic terrorism, yet MSNBC ignores that terrorist because they want to protect Barack Obama.

Ayers gets a pass because there was no right-wing ties. Without knowing who or what this Holocaust Museum shooter stood for, believed in, or who he allied with, he is automatically labeled right-wing.

Now, let's look at the coverage Olbermann gave the shooting of an American soldier on American soil by an American Muslim-convert.

...

...

...

Exactly.

No coverage. No denouncement. No attack on the killer of young kid who was fresh from boot camp. The kid hadn't hurt a soul. He gets gunned down by an evil, sick Muslim convert. Yet, nothing. (Not even the PRESIDENT, the COMMANDER in CHIEF denounced the killing of the soldier.)

This African-American Muslim is not even being called by his Muslim name. The media buries this story, yet you have irresponsible jokes for a commentator like Olbermann ranting and raving about a lunatic and putting all right wingers into the same group.

It's all part of a trend that is painfully obvious. People with a microphone or a computer with the power of major media outlets to promote their sludge (NY Times, Time, Newsweek, Playboy, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) feel free to say or do whatever they want against conservatives.

Hate {sex} lists are okay. If we get upset with the idea that millions of people are going to see a list that details violent, hate-driven sex acts against women, its our fault because the intent was misunderstood. Violent, hate-driven acts, sexually or otherwise, are blatantly wrong. To promote them, tongue-in-cheek or otherwise, is morally decrepit.

Saying a Governor of a state looks like a "slutty flight attendant" is okay, as long as she is conservative. Saying her daughter, 14 years old, would probably get knocked-up by A-Rod is okay. The girl, though not a public figure herself, is the offspring of a conservative, so guilt by association. Sorry, Willow, because we hate your mom's ideals and principles and the fact that your mom married one man, is happy, has 5 kids, and a career, AND IS CONSERVATIVE, we are going to call you and your older sister a whore. And it is okay. If we get mad, its our fault for misunderstanding. (Letterman did apologize, but a week too late and not out of sincerity, but out of pressure.)

A US Soldier is gunned down by a hate-mongering Muslim in front of a crowded shopping center in Arkansas. We will bury that story behind the guinea pig in Rhode Island that recycles soda cans. No need to admit that the hate spewed by Democratic Congressmen and people like Olbermann might have inspired and further motivated the hate that led to the killing. Hell, it was just an American Soldier. We only care if they are killed in Iraq because we can blame it directly on George Bush. (I know I am not alone in that I noticed the giddy manner in which the networks had a countdown to the various 'milestones. Almost 1,000 dead! Almost!!! Almost 3,000!!!! Almost 4,000!!!)

Even the bowing-before-other-leaders, friends-to-unrepentant-terrorists, friend-and-business-associate-of-convicted-criminals-like-Rezko, spend-tax-dollars-like-a-spoiled-rich-girl-with-daddy's-stolen-credit-card, power-mongering, fear-mongering, but charismatic President Obama is directly pushing the hate. Throughout the campaign, he spent more time directly attacking Sean Hannity than giving details on how he was going to pay for his proposals. He continued his focus on attacking Fox News earlier today when, during an interview, he lamented on the fact that a "certain network" spends all day "attacking" his administration. He said you can watch all day and not see a positive story about Obama. Well, sad to say, originally crafted, the media and the press were designed to be an outlet to control the government by spreading the truth to the people. There is not, nor ever should be, a quota on positive stories about a President's administration. To suggest that a network should include positive stories means two things: he is for control of the media because he does not appreciate opposing voices, and that he, as the leader of the free world, spends a lot of time focusing on the media and what Fox News has to say. Shouldn't he be doing more important things?

Wait...perhaps he needs to watch MORE TV. Might keep him occupied so he cannot ruin any more of my country.

America....WAKE UP!

We are quickly entering into the development of the Orwellian society depicted in "1984." Big Brother is on its way. The government already runs the banks, the mortgage and loan industry, the car industry, and, coming soon to a socialist government near you, HEALTH CARE!.

WAKE UP!

2010 might be the last chance we have to save our nation.

War! What is it good for?...

Let me tell you a story about sacrifice, terror, honor, pride, and the righting of wrongs.

On a bright, sunny morning, while the world was just barely waking up, terror in the skies came barrelling down on America.

Buildings fell, humans burned and died in the horrible attacks.

We were hit by a small country, part of the Axis of Evil. They struck us fast, hard, and by suprise. We had people who might have seen it coming, but predicting the day time and location of the attacks was nearly impossible.

Immediately after the slaughter of American lives, we went to action. We went after the country that hit us. We bombed the crap out of them and paid them back. Death and war is never pleasant, but this was revenge. They had awaken a dangerous, powerful beast that was lulled to sleep by peace and its own power. We went to work to kick their hind parts into oblivion.

Then, we also went to work on an ally who had similar intentions for us. While they had not directly attacked us, we knew they were coming and we had to stop all of this evil force at once. We were hit hard by their little buddy, and we were sure as we could that we needed to stop everyone who had destruction and violence planned against us and our people.

We beat the two countries into submission. We defeated the evil powers. Then, we went to work rebuilding the same countries. In time, they became as strong, if not stronger, in many areas than the United States.

We are a powerful country who reacted to a swift and painful blow to push evil back and out of power. We restored the people of those countries to power and helped them prevent future dictatorships from returning.

Now, as you read the above, today, the somber anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, were you thinking of World War II...or the current War on Terror? Whenever you want to trash our country for going into Iraq, remember: Germany never attacked us, either.

We are a great country. We have the greatest military. Our troops are excellent. They always have been. They always deserve our support.

Mumbai Terrorist Attacks

The country of India suffered through and extraordinary ordeal with the attacks on several tourist attractions. The financial district of Mumbai was the central location of the attacks, as it appeared as though the terrorists were targeting American and British tourists and the attractions and hotels frequented by them.

Americans, Brits, and many other people lost their lives in the terrible attacks. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones, and also to the people who narrowly escaped with their lives, as their lives will never be the same.

Sadly, I think this might be the beginning of a long sequence of attacks by Al Queada led or inspired groups. For seven years, America has stood strong against Al Queada and terrorism. We have snuffed it out at every opportunity. However, the 2008 election cycle broadcast to the world, there might be some wavering in our stances, regardless of who won. Whether it was John McCain breaking his back to work with the Democrats, or the weak, inexperienced Obama (whom even his running mate Biden said was inexperienced and would be tested within 6 months).

Sadly, I truly believe that Mumbai is the tip of the iceberg. The pending closing of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a promise of the Obama campaign, is going to release 200+ terrorists back in to the fold, all of whom will be able to lead and spread anti-American propaganda to reinvigorate our enemies. This rejuvenation of released terrorists, along with constant anti-American comments from Democratic leaders of the past 6 years, has prepared the terrorists of the world to get us while we are at our weakest.

Obama wants to meet, without preconditions, with the leaders of these terrorist organizations. He will most likely bring them here, thus giving diplomatic immunity. Who knows what can happen with an anti-American terrorist with immunity?

I wish the best to the people who have been affected by the Mumbai tragedy. I sincerely hope the people responsible will me swift and appropriate justice...which means they have to have justice served before 12:00 noon on January 20th, 2009.

What WE have to do...

The fact of the matter is, the nation is divided.

Over the last 6 years, since Democrats stopped being pro-American and being pro-Democrat, the liberals in the media and in elected office have been attacking American unity. They were courteous enough to shut up for a few months post-9/11, but then they saw opportunity.

They saw a chance to seize power by attacking every policy of the Bush anti-terrorism initiative. They attacked out troops. They accused American troops of torture, murdering civilians, pillaging villages, and generally being poor-class and fighting dirty. Our fighting men and women have been attacked, insulted, berated, and accused of unthinkable war crimes....BY OUR OWN CONGRESS AND LEADERS!

It is sad that our enemies have used the words of our own elected officials as recruiting materials and as anti-American propaganda. Our troops are entering greater and greater danger in Afghanistan, as they were in Iraq pre-McCain-supported troop surge, because of the propaganda provided by AMERICAN DEMOCRATS.

Remember, post-Vietnam, NO CONSERVATIVE...NO REPUBLICAN...stood in lines to spit on and attack our troops returning from war. No CONSERVATIVE has ever given anti-American fodder for the recruiting propaganda of terrorist enemies.

So, since early 2002, less than half a year since the worst attack on American soil, DEMOCRATS have been attacking everything in sight to divide the country and fortify that division. The sides are almost irreparably divided; in fact scarily so.

The point being, there is nearly zero chance that we can change the minds of the Obama-maniacs who drank the kool-aid served by the media and Obama himself. We cannot get liberals or Democrats to drop their blind love and devotion to Obama. It is not going to happen.

So, how do we keep the White House and, possibly, reverse the growing liberal power in Congress?

VOTE.

We, the American conservatives, we must VOTE.

VOTE!

Tell people who and why we are voting for.

We must VOTE!

The media is spinning the early voter turnout as a trend for an Obama slaughter of McCain. They are popping champaign in the offices of NBC and CNN, already claiming Democrat victory and a new Super Majority in Washington, DC.

We have to show them how wrong they are. America is an overall conservative nation. We have to get our conservative majority motivated and out to the polls.

Whether we win or lose, we have to go down with a fight. We have to go down swinging, if it is in the cards for ACORN's tactics to win, we cannot sit idly by and guarentee a default victory for Obama.

We need to vote. Make our voices heard! We need to fight until the end of voting.

In the words of the immortal Coach Jim Valvano, "Never give up. Don't ever give up"

If you can get motivated, and motivate more conservative-minded people to show up and vote, at the end of the day, we might just suprise the liberals celebrating Obama's victory already.

Are You Ready to Elect Louis Farrakhan's "Messiah?"

We tell you that Barack Hussein Obama launched his political career in the living room of a known terrorist.

So what?

We tell you that Obama is going to spend like an identity thief with a new platinum credit card.

So?

We tell you that Obama has made absolutely ZERO contributions to the US Congress, other than asking for approximately $1 million in pork spending per day.

Ah, that's just not important.

Obama's pastor of 20 years is a racist, bigoted, anti-American propagandist using the pulpit to degrade whites, America, and anyone who disagrees with any left-leaning black person.

THAT'S RACIST! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION A MINISTER ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR!!!!!

Obama's campaign gave $800,000 to ACORN to help with their 'get-out-the-vote' efforts. As we have seen, and continue to see develop before our very eyes, that Obama For President money went to one of, if not the, most corrupt, fraudulent voter registration scandals in the history of American politics. Voters' names are turning up 10, 15, even 20 times. All with different addresses or phony social security numbers. Fraud! Obama has had ties to ACORN, and their brutish, manipulative, goon-like behaviors, since he graduated from Columbia, and certainly as he was beginning to launch a political career.

Ah, who cares, right?

Maybe, just maybe this will stick. Maybe the left-wing loons can put down the Kool-Aid and think for themselves. Maybe.

Louis Farrakhan is a racist. He is a bigot. He is a zealot. He is very much an anti-Semite (hates the Jews, period.). He speaks to black people only to incite hatred, and to excuse a black man's personal failures as nothing more than the white man's racism.

Farrakhan is a racist. Plain and simple. He hates Jews. He hates whites. He constantly speaks against Jews and whites, tippy-toeing the line and almost crossing into inciting violence against Jews and Whites.

Now, I do not have a problem with a man simply based on his religion. I do not agree with certain faiths and doctrines, but I do not get involved in, nor really care about an individual's religion. I do not discriminated solely on religion. That being said, and add into the fray that Farrakhan has constantly said anti-Jewish comments that are nearly as full of hatred at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I think it bears pointing out that Farrakhan is the Head of the Nation of Islam.

He is the HEAD of the Nation of Islam. He spews hate-filled remarks against Jews.

And,in a recent endorsement of Senator Barack Obama, Louis Farrakhan made a remark that all but confirmed the mania that has been suspected of the left.

Here is a transcript of comments Farrakhan made to the Nation of Islam recently.

You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change and that's why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.

Use this link to visit Glenn Beck's website and read the entire transcript from Beck's coverage of this speech. There is also a link to the YouTube.com video of this speech.

Transcript of Glenn Beck's segment on this video.



So, what is the deal here? Is a racist like Farrakhan calling Obama the Messiah? Or is Obama a tool of the Messiah of the nation of Islam?

Either way, is this an endorsement and an image that you are comfortable with? Can you hand the reigns of the free world to a man with such a resounding endorsement?

Or, am I just racist?

Remembering What Today Is...

Each of the past six years, on the anniversary of September 11, 2001, I have posted a blog, either on MySpace, Xanga, or have written a newspaper column. In those columns, I have posted my support of the troops, President George W. Bush, the families and friends of victims of the attacks, and I have taken to pointing out the shortcomings of those that opposed President Bush in fighting the War of Terror.

I sit here, 7 years and 12 hours after the attacks commenced, and wonder. I wonder how different the world would be had the attacks never occurred. Where would we be? Would we be better off? Would we be worse?

We will never know, and there is no way to answer those sorts of questions. All we can do is play the hand we are dealt and hope to be able to guess what the other players are holding, and hope for what is yet to be dealt.

The hand we were dealt included a brutal attack on America and Americans, as well as many others representing nearly 100 other nations. That hand included a few, brief shining months of unity and respect for our own country, only to be followed by more division and vitriol than this country has ever had, including during the time of the civil war.

So, tonight, I only wish that the memories of the fallen might not be tarnished by continued hatred and anger and despisement of each other. I wish we would stop letting the TV tell us how to think. I wish we would continue to work for a better America by doing what is right, and not what sounds good in a 5 second soundbite.

WE cannot do that, though, because we have, overall, forgotten what happened in New York, PEnnsylvania, and Washington, D.C., that day. We have such ADD and a short term memory in this country. We have already blocked out and or forgotten everything this day means.

I ask...no, I plead with you, do not forget this day. Do not let the memories of the fallen go to waste. Remember the day. Remember the freedoms that those creatures tried to take away. Remember the fear they inflicted, and then do what you need to do IN SPITE of the fear and in spite of them.

America is such a wonderful, great country. We should not hurt our nation by forgetting the depth of the attacks on our country on 9-11-01.

In closing, I want to say thank you to the George W. Bush administration for not forgetting what 9-11-01 tried to take away from us, and making sure it did not happen again. I want to thank the men and women of the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement who have worked tirelessly, and sacrificing everything, to keep our country safe from attacks. I want to thank the families and friends who lost so much on 9-11-01 for being strong, and for carrying on their lives, showing that America can be knocked down to one knee, but, by God, we will rise again.

God bless America.

God Bless America this Memorial Day

What a beautiful day. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The sun is high in the sky, warming the world.

It is gorgeous out today.

While I enjoy the gentle breeze passing through, and admire the robins, cardinals, and other birds flying through the air, there is something I notice. There is something I realize.

I realize, and appreciate, that I am standing in Wytheville. I am in the Commonwealth state of Virginia. Therefore, I am standing safely within the borders of the greatest country God ever blessed with sovereignty.

I am, of course, referring to the most generous, decent, caring, forgiving, and strongest nation in the world today. The lone superpower left on the globe. The world leader.

The United States of America.

How did we get here, to Memorial Day 2008?

How did America become and remain so strong?

For over 250 years we have enlisted the most intelligent, decent, honest, prideful, respectable military personnel in the world. We have the brightest and the bravest wearing an American flag on their shoulder, and have had them for two and a half centuries. Our soldiers fight with honor, bravery, care, respect, and integrity. Our military strives to ensure the safety of the innocent while prosecuting the guilty. Our men and women in uniform are the best.

So, today, if you are working or if you are off for the three-day weekend, take some time to pray for the safety of our military. They give up so much for us to be free to stand on a small grassy knoll, take in a deep breath, enjoy the warmth of the sun, and not feel fear to walk outside. They give up so much for us, let us take today to thank God for them.

Please pray for God to continue to bless our soldiers with strength, intelligence, mercy, decency, proper judgement, and, most importantly, a safe return home after a successful mission.

God bless the United State of America. God bless its military for their decency and integrity. Thank God for all of our freedoms.

Happy Memorial Day!

My B. Hussein Obama Impression...

Let me see if I get close...I think I can give you the entire O-BOMB-A campaign in the following paragraphs. Let me know if I miss anything...

(Speaking as B.O.)

I believe that, together, we can change Washington. I believe that we need a change. We need to change for our future.

I believe in the future of America. I believe in our future. I believe that we can change and bring about a better future for America.

We need to stop the failed policies and end the war. We need to enact change in Washington. Together, a united America, can bring about the necessary change.

I believe my opponents, Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain, are terrific people. However, they are not part of the change I see for America. They have been in Washington too long. They are old. I am young and fresh! I want to creat change in Washington, and change the course of America.

I believe in our future, America, and I believe in changing our future for the better. I don't think we need the same faces in new places in Washington...except me, but I've only been there one term, which is long enough to see that we need change.

As President, I will meet with the leaders of our allies and our enemies to bring about change in our foreign policies. I believe in the future of the world as a whole. I believe that we can work with foreign leaders to bring about change in the world and change for the future.

Many of my opponents and their supporters will try to throw my good friend, Reverend Wright, out there to take away from our message of hope for the future. Reverend Wright has made many comments that people find offensive. Many will add my friendship and on-going contact with William Ayers, who has been credited with saying he is proud of being a part of bomb attacks on US interests, as proof of my lack of ability or qualifications to be President. Many will throw out my connections to Louis Farakhan, who has been accused of being racist and bigoted.

Let us not be swayed! Those people, the ones that name-drop to attempt to hurt my campaign, are the people who do not believe in change! They will distract you from the facts.

The facts that we are here to focus on are the future.......... for the future! That is why we are here! I believe in change! You believe in change! We all believe in change for our future! Our future is too important not to change. We have to work toward our future, because without our future, the present means nothing. And let me tell you, the future is coming. We can't stop it.

But I believe in it. I believe in America.

Send me to Washington and let us create some change!!!!

(End my B.O. voice)

Ok, so how does that sound? Sound like B.O.?

The Media Decides 2008

Well, the media won. The voting public was swayed and John McCain is the heir appearant to the Republican Nomination.

Mike Huckabee did nothing but play spoiler to the leading, true conservative Mitt Romney. If Huckabee had done the gracious thing and bow out like Thompson and Guliani, we would have a tight, two-man race. Instead Huckabee is hanging on till the bitter end.

My dream ticket of two conservatives in Mitt and Fred will not happen. Instead we will get a man who has publicly flirted with the idea of becoming a Democrat. But, how could he have made it were it not for the support of NBC, CBS, and ABC. They see him as one of them, a liberal on most social issues.

John McCain is a good man, a hero. He served and fought and was taken prisoner in Vietnam. Perhaps his military connections will give him the strength and wisdom to do the right thing by our national security and the safety of our troops abroad.

That is my one hope. That McCain will fight for our troops and not buckle to pressure from the left, as he did in McCain-Fiengold and McCain-Kennedy. I hope he can be a true leader and not a puppet for the left like he has been at times in the Congress.

I personally have mixed feelings about Ann Coulter coming out to say that she would campaign for and support Hillary if McCain gets the nomination. I can see her point that Hillary would be a 4 year debacle that could guarentee a resurgance of the conservative movement.

However, what sacrifices will we make in those four years? How many troops will be sacrificed as they are running out of Iraq? Who will die as a result of the terrorist attacks that we would be left vulnerable to?

On the other side, McCain could be nearly as bad. His constant flirting with the left is a scary idea. Can he be "The Sherriff" he claims to be? Or is he going to finally become a true republican and fight for the right? The fear is that if McCain fails, does that mean that the conservative movement will stall for 8, 12, or 16 years?

Only time will tell. All I know is that I am disappointed in the Republican party voters. I am truly disgusted with how Huckabee spoiled our chances at a conservative ticket. And, finally, I am cautiously hopeful that McCain will be loyal to the right if he is elected.

Free Speech for EVERYONE!!!! American or not...

Wow. The graciousness and subservient self-abuse of our country never seems to end. Despite what we do, who we help, what sacrifices we make as a nation, it is still not enough for many foreign countries, as well as many of those on the left in this country.

So, following in the footsteps of Bill Clinton, who spread open the doors and gates of the White House and America to welcome in terrorist leader Yassir Arafat, Columbia University opens their doors and exposes impressionable college students to the vile diatribe of a terrorist.

The media, to be PC, calls him a President, to suggest he is a leader of a country that was chosen. (Much like the Iraqis "elected" Sadam.) However, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is far from an elected president of a sovereign nation. He is a terrorist…he leads terrorists…he funds and arms terrorists…and he is not a president. He is holding millions of good people hostage in Iran. If they speak against the Ahmadinejad regime, those tend to be the final words ever heard from that person. Websites and newspapers are constantly being put under or feel pressure from Ahmadinejad's censorship.

Yet, somehow, this terrorist…this evil, vile human being…gets center stage at a prestigious university. He gets the golden, guided tour through a city still feeling the effects of what people like him did six years ago. He gets protection and fine accommodations at the expense of the American taxpayer.

He is supposedly protected and given this opportunity courtesy of the First Amendment. He has the right to free speech and the right to be heard…

Uh…NO!

I don't know how to say it any other way. He is a terrorist. He is a killer. He is a power-hungry, fear-instilling, censoring dictator who is a major threat to world security and safety.

Ahmadinejad is not, nor ever will be, a US Citizen. Well, I take that back. If his current ride of liberal respect and adulation continues, I could see Hillary Clinton as president…ok, give me a second, even hypothetically that thought gives me chills and makes me fight the urge to vomit…back to point…I could see President Clinton II granting Ahmadinejad an Honorary Citizenship and a gift basket full of signed pardons for him to pass out to his friends. I mean, that's what Bill did in his final days…granted unheard of gifts and pardons to convicted terrorists. So, Hillary already has her friend in mind…Ahmadinejad.

However, until the dark, immoral, big-government nightmare of Big Brother Clinton part II comes to fruition, we have some time for sanity left. Ahmadinejad is not a citizen, thus not protected by our US Constitution. He, like the illegal immigrants who drain out economy and social services system, are NOT PROTECTED by the US Constitution.

Ahmadinejad does not have First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Fifth…or any other number…amendment rights. I think foreign diplomats should be given courtesies and be treated with respect without persecution or censorship. However, Ahmadinejad is not a diplomat. He is a terrorist dictator glad-handing with the corrupt UN (who is just about as liberally left as MoveOn.org), and some liberals who sympathize with Ahmadinejad's cause at Columbia want to use him to once again show how poorly they think of their own country.

Ahmadinejad does not deserve to have any protection under the Constitution. Period. Especially since he is funding and arming the terrorists who are killing and maiming the very troops who are fighting to protect the meaning of that document.

The only stage that Ahmadinejad deserves to be on is one with a trap door, with him standing upon said trapdoor with his hands tied, a blindfold covering his eyes, and a noose around his skinny little neck…open the trap door.

Ok, I guess killing the guy is over the top. He is just a leader trying to make the world a better place for him to kill innocent and gain more power. All he has ever done is hold a country hostage, censor his people, seek to develop nuclear weapons to sell or use, pledge to wipe out Israel, and send weapons and funding to the people who are killing our troops in harm's way.

I guess that's forgivable.

Playing with the Troops Funding for Political Gain

In case you live in a cave, by now you know that the Democrats in congress are using their positions to increase the mighty swing of their political bats by playing games with our troops' lives.

Our troops are dependent on funding for necessary equipment and training, which is an invaluable piece of legislation to have pass through Congress. So, our good Liberal friends decide to play games with the money and try to abuse their power, and even overstep their Constitutional powers, by trying to micromanage the war from Capitol Hill.

Not only have they weighed down the funding bill with nothing but pork and outrageous wasting of tax payer money, but have included a joke of a timeline for the war. They are trying to install a deadline for victory in the war and pull out. Guess what an official pull-out date does? Gives the enemy a date to celebrate their victory. YOU CANNOT SET A DATE TO WIN A WAR AND PULL OUT.

You know what would happen if we did that? Suddenly, miraculously, violence would decline...only rare, random fringe acts of violence would occur. Mostly, though, the war would seem won. Then, the democrats could claim THEIR legistlation won the war...then, when the last platoons of our troops are on their way out...when MoveOn.org, I mean the Democrats, well, they are one in the same since MoveOn.org is the puppet masters of John Kerry, Hillary "Fake Southern Accent" Clinton, John "Pretty Girl" Edwards, and Ted "Where is the bridge again?" Kennedy, and the rest of the libs, have gotten their way, their cry of defeat...just then, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE.

Iraq will be invaded with a vengeance from Iran and Syria. Our last few platoons will be left out to dry and become target practice as the terrorists invade. Iraq will fall into a massive hysteria and violence...the streets of Baghdad will literally run red from the killing of men, women, and children. And the work and sacrifice of the thousands of troops who fought in this war will be wasted as we have to reinvade to try to save the world from third World War. But, it might be too late.

Sadly, most Americans will buy the garbage the liberals and the liberal media sell you. They will lie to you and tell you that we are on a brink of a world war due to Bush's war with Iraq, and the forced pull-out will have nothing to do with it.

Please, America, see what is going on. America's finest and bravest are being used as toys in a political power play by the democrats. It is sad, sick, and as traitorous as anything imaginable. Our troops deserve better...our troops shouldn't be gambled for political points...and we as Americans cannot let this ploy work.

It just disgusts me. Why anyone would support liberal thought is beyond me.

War! What is it good for?...

Let me tell you a story about sacrifice, terror, honor, pride, and the righting of wrongs.

On a bright, sunny morning, while the world was just barely waking up, terror in the skies came barrelling down on America.

Buildings fell, humans burned and died in the horrible attacks.

We were hit by a small country, part of the Axis of Evil. They struck us fast, hard, and by suprise. We had people who might have seen it coming, but predicting the day time and location of the attacks was nearly impossible.

Immediately after the slaughter of American lives, we went to action. We went after the country that hit us. We bombed the crap out of them and paid them back. Death and war is never pleasant, but this was revenge. They had awaken a dangerous, powerful beast that was lulled to sleep by peace and its own power. We went to work to kick their hind parts into oblivion.

Then, we also went to work on an ally who had similar intentions for us. While they had not directly attacked us, we knew they were coming and we had to stop all of this evil force at once. We were hit hard by their little buddy, and we were sure as we could that we needed to stop everyone who had destruction and violence planned against us and our people.

We beat the two countries into submission. We defeated the evil powers. Then, we went to work rebuilding the same countries. In time, they became as strong, if not stronger, in many areas than the United States.

We are a powerful country who reacted to a swift and painful blow to push evil back and out of power. We restored the people of those countries to power and helped them prevent future dictatorships from returning.

Now, as you read the above, today, the somber anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, were you thinking of World War II...or the current War on Terror? Whenever you want to trash our country for going into Iraq, remember: Germany never attacked us, either.

We are a great country. We have the greatest military. Our troops are excellent. They always have been. They always deserve our support.

Liberal Ignorance

Appearantly, calling for a renewed focus on upholding the laws of our sovereign land is racist.

Wanting to rid the US of illegal immigrants is bigoted.

On May 1, 2006, I posted a blog about the national walk-out by many Hispanics. The theory was the walk-out would demonstrate the importance of illegal aliens to our economy. Nice theory except the walk-out included MOSTLY legal citizens, including many liberal WHITES.

My blog attacked that walk-out and called for tighter borders and for people who wanted to be a part of the US to go through the proper channels.

Somehow a call to follow and strengthen the enforcement of LAW is racist. I still do not grasp the logic. Now, the question is, what inspired this blog about a 4 month old blog? The following response to my blog typed today will show you my inspiration.

This is the exact response, word for word, cut and paste exactly as posted, typos included.:

I understand now that you are a very sick individual who is not only ignorant to life but a bigot with no moral values what so ever. I stumbled across your page today and so far I find you to be a racist, a bigot and someone with no moral values what so ever.

You are now encouraging everyone who reads your words to go out and shoot someone, but direct this mostly to immigrants. Are you aware Mr. "I have a college degree" that everyone in America is a immigrant except for the Native American of which you are not one of? Do you suggest that we just go around and eliminate everyone unless they have blond hair and blue eyes, which again would not include you.

You make claim to having a degree from college and I wonder just which university of higher learning taught you all of these values? You claim to be from West Virginia; however there must be another one because I was never brought up to hate other races.

Our country was founded on protest; take the Boston tea party as a great example. In this country people have rights to protest and boycott without fear of someone gunning them down. This right is not found in other countries but our rights are etched in the Bill of Rights as well as the Constitution.

Today I have found so much hate in all your words for all you post. In college they should have taught you how civilized people sit down and discuss issues and find a peaceful resolution to them. It was not too many years agao that dr. Martin Luther King lead peaceful marches though out the south to gain civial rights for the blacks. Blacks who protested were shot, killed whipped and beaten. Blacks were treated unfair and though peaceful methods things changed in the south.

Do you fear change? Do you condone violence as the way to resolve this issue? Your words rightfully could inside violence and result in death should anyone take you serious. I will once again suggest that you select your words with the up most caution and place your anger and violence where no one could read it as not to act upon it. Your words could cause another columbine, or an act as the one committed by timothy McVeigh or even the World Trade center.

I strongly feel you are a threat to our homeland security and should be closely monitored for fear of what you may do with the anger you seem to hold on to. Please seek immediate help from a professional mental heath counselor for your own good ant the welfare of others you may come in contact with.

Incredible. On some levels, I am flattered because this kook thinks I have enough influence to encourage someone on myspace.com to go out and shoot someone. For anyone with any sense, they know that the line about "Trespassers will be shot" is a tongue-in-cheek remark, much like when Rush Limbaugh claims to have "talent on-loan from God!" or claims to be "America's REAL anchorman," an obvious rib or a famous liberal "news" anchor (news in " " because liberals do not report "news," but propaganda and lies and spin, see Dan Rather forged document story...).

So, I am flattered that my little old blog has that much influence. Thank you, Harold.

Now, to the more serious issue purported by a bitter person. This is the matter of me being full of hate, being a bigot, and being racist. In communications classes, I learned that publishing lies such as this is called LIBEL, but I won't sue. I will merely point out the idiocy of people like this.
First, I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL with any man, woman, or child of any race, religion, sexual orientation, or origin. I may not agree with parts of their lifestyle, but in AMERICA we can actually disagree and move on with our lives.

I have no problems with, and actually welcome, people of all walks and origins and races and creeds to my country. It is a great country. But first, ask permission. We are a sovereign land with boundaries, laws, and millions of people waiting in line to become a citizen legally. So, why should you get to cut in line because you know how to sneak inside our borders? As in my own home, I would welcome anyone who is looking for a better life. Just have the respect for me and my land to ask to come in the front door and don't try to climb in the back window.

Yet, I am racist because I ask immigrants to come to my home legally and properly. How so? Really. Explain it to me.

I never told anyone to shoot anyone. I didn't say shoot immigrants. I said there might be a warning, "Beware: TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT." A tongue-in-cheek remark as stated previously. However, the key word in the sentence is "trespassers." Is the word "trespasser" assigned to one race or nationality? Did I miss something? If so, should I stop saying "forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me" because the word trespass is a racist term? Hmmm.

Now, to address the funniest part of this rambled response.

This paragraph cracks me up:

I strongly feel you are a threat to our homeland security and should be closely monitored for fear of what you may do with the anger you seem to hold on to. Please seek immediate help from a professional mental heath counselor for your own good ant the welfare of others you may come in contact with.

I am a threat to homeland security. WOW!!!!!!! From the desk in my home on a free website where I have less that 10 people a day looking at my blogs, my call for a tightening of our borders is a threat to homeland security. I hold on to so much anger...I might...just...WRITE ANOTHER BLOG!!!! Oh, my GOD!!! HELP US ALL!!!! Somebody please take the keyboard from my hands. Someone call the FBI, CIA, DOD, NSA, IRS, ASPCA, NCAA, RSVP, and anyone else that can help. I just might voice an opinion that my mom, dad, and a few friends may read.

Who in the heck gave me the right to free speech? Who would let someone of a conservative mindset that wants secure borders and people to come to my home LEGALLY and with PERMISSION use a right granted by the US Constitution (and guarenteed, sometimes in blood, by the US Soldier)???

Harold, grow up. You demonstrate what is wrong with the country and what is wrong with liberals. You freak out over something your ignorance took out of context while missing the entire point. You're the type of person whining about your privacy when the government is tapping in to terrorist phone calls. The only way its a violation of your privacy is if you are on the line with a terrorist. You're the kind that wants rights and protections and an easy lifestyle for terrorists in our prisons. The people who would kill you and your children and grandchildren are the ones you cry about and scream about if they get a splinter, yet you hit the mute button or turn the channel and forget it when a US citizen has their head sawed off by the cousin of the jerk we have in jail in Gitmo.

Enjoy your freedoms. Enjoy your country while you have it. Lord knows, if liberals ran the country...well, the US would be run from Kabul by now....

Five Years Ago...

Five years ago today, I was sitting at the controls of WWJD Eagle 91.7 FM, Alice Lloyd's college radio station. My friend Aaron Goff and I were hosting a morning show and just having a good time trying to entertain. At a little past 9 am, we get word that the World Trade Centers are on fire.

We start to watch the news. We see plane number 2 hit. We see the split screen where a plane has hit the Pentagon, but at first we thought it was just a different view of what is going on. The whole time we are so confused. What is going on? Then, the tower fell. Then the second. I knew that we were at war.

I was sad. I was confused. I was pissed off. I was running in circles wanting to help. What could I do? Drive to DC or NYC and just pitch in? Here is the greatest tragedy in American history and I am powerless to help.

There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't think about that day and the anger, rage, sadness, and fear I felt. Being a child of the 1980's, the movie Red Dawn kept playing in my head. I knew that if it came to that, I would definitely be a Wolverine. But, I was stuck in Kentucky powerless to do anything. All we could do was pray, talk to each other, and be scared, sad, and mad.

As did most Americans, we did what we could. There was no way I could drive my car 1,000 miles to NYC to help. Most likely, I would be sent home and be kicked out of school. So, I did, and continue to do so, what I can do to make sure that 9-11 isn't just a bump in American history.

Every year I watch a 9-11 Documentary and every year I will help spread the word and spread the reminder of what we lost that day. Sadly, more and more people are tuning out their initial response to 9-11. People are forgetting. They are ignoring. They are letting 9-11-01 drift into historic obscurity.

We cannot forget. There are still empty chairs at dinner. There are holes in family trees. There are broken hearts still healing. There is a gaping hole in the middle of Manhattan that resembles the hole in America. We cannot forget the true meaning of what happened 5 years ago. Remembering is the best way to prevent it from happening again.

People ask for a national day of rememberance, a day of no work and no school. I think that is stupid.

9-11 should be the one day where attendance is 100%. As a nation, we should simply show up. Go to work. Go to school. Do what you normally should be doing. Attendance has to be 100%. The reason 9-11 happened was a bunch of renegade animals who have corrupted a peaceful religion decided to interfere with America and our daily lives. They wanted to scare us into our homes and scare us from going through our normal routine. So, in response to that, we should, as one nation UNDER GOD, show up. And, in one voice, tell those scum that we will not surrender, we will now cower to their cowardly attacks. We are Americans, dammit, and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop us.

Happy Birthday America!!!

Happy Fourth of July!

Every single country and every single person on this Earth has the 4th of July on their calendars, but only those 300+ million of us AMERICANS celebrate this day. Why? Because in 1776, a group of men decided that this country wanted to be free, to be independent. We celebrate the birth of our great nation the day that John Hancock put his large signature on the Declaration of Independence, a letter that proclaimed that tyranny and unfair taxation and unfair governing from 3,000 miles away would no longer be tolerated on the other side of the Atlantic.

Since then, the beauty and grandness of the freedom of America has been tested, detested, and has faced some terrible threats. From the vicious red coats to the battles between our own people to the Axis powers to the terrorists of today, and every threat in between, there has been one force standing between our freedoms and anarchy and chaos. That one, strong, true, diligent force is our Armed Forces.

Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard all stand in the way of fear, invasion, and the tyranny we deposed in 1776. Men and women from all walks of life have taken part in that line of defense for you and me, far too many have given the ultimate sacrifice for us. It is unfortunate that so many lives must be lost to save so many others, but that is the nature of the beast. When you have something so precious as freedom, others want it or want to destroy it. It is our men and women in uniform that fight, get injured, and possibly die to protect that freedom for us.

Today, as you grill and mope about the work you have to do this shortened week, consider this. There are thousands of men and women who do not get today off. They are fighting for a free Afghanistan and Iraq so we can be safer at home. With Bin Laden on the run, Al Zarqawi dead, and Sadam Hussein in jail, our world is much safer. There are men and women suffering and sacrificing for you and me while we eat grilled hotdogs and burn our thumbs on sparklers.

Today, remember those who dont get a short work week. Just because you arent at work, dont think for one second someone else isnt picking up the slack. If you get a chance, thank a soldier. Thank them for serving. Thank them for signing up to be a part of something so selfless as to be willing to die for your freedom.

That is a major part of what today is all about. Its about enjoying our freedom and what makes America great. It is also about remembering why and how we got our freedom in the first place.

God bless the United States. God bless our soldiers.

The Nerve of people

Throughout the country today, millions of Hispanics and their supporters came together with the intent to disrupt our country. They wanted to prove the impact of illegal immigrants on our economy. They wanted to prove how invaluable undocumented workers are to our economy. They wanted to show this by doing a nationwide boycott and work walk-out.

As with every liberal idea and grand scheme, it is nothing but propaganda and the forcible dumbing-down of our society.

First, how can we see the true impact that illegal immigrants have on our economy when 55-75% of the protestors are CITIZENS and DOCUMENTED EMPLOYEES? How does this work? As with all other liberal ideas, this one is full of garbage. We have people shutting down stores, gas stations, and thousands of other businesses to show the impact of illegal immigration on our economy. The argument does not fit the purpose. Its like arguing that chocolate is the best ice cream flavor and drinking Coke to prove it.

That isnt even the biggest problem I have. The biggest problem I have with this is the fact that we have thousands to millions of illegal immigrants using OUR right to peaceably assemble and OUR right to free speech. No where in our constitution have we EVER guaranteed illegal immigrants the same rights as legal citizens. The essence of the term immediately devoids them of many rights. The name says it all: ILLEGAL immigrants, as in breaking the law and cheating and lying and stealing. Yes, crossing into the US without proper documentation and working without proper documentation is ILLEGAL, and ILLEGAL activities are not to be encouraged. NOT EVEN WITH AMNESTY!!!!

Picture your home, the place youve worked your whole life to build, maintain, and protect. Picture a stranger breaking into your home. He eats your food. Drinks milk straight from your carton. Calls home on your phone long distance. He is unwelcome and you want him out. As you try to call the police to have him removed from your home, hundreds of criminals arrive on your front lawn to protest. They call you racist. They demand that that man, who broke into your home, became a drain on your life and wallet, now gets the same rights that you, your wife, and your kids get under that roof. They demand that he gets to use your computer. They demand that you translate everything in your home so he can read it. They demand you start a savings account so he can go to school. They demand you give him a car before your kids can get one. The second you pause to think about it, you are called a racist, heartless, scum, communist, selfish, spoiled, and a million other names. You wouldnt stand for it. So why stand for it when your home is no longer a house but your country?

Why let these illegals take your tax dollars? Why allow the government to spend money that should go to paying for your tax-paying children to go to college on illegal immigrant health care? Its time America get back together and reunite for the greater good. Its time to reunite and protect our borders, national security, and national economy.

Its not racist to protect our borders. Its not racist to force LAW BREAKERS to follow the law or get out. I dont care if it is a white man, black man, middle eastern man, or other ethnicity. I do not care. If you are here illegally, get out. Now.

I have had a thought for a while that I want everyone to consider. To hell with the nay-sayers and race-baitors. I say we keep tabs on where these illegal immigrant rallies/protests are going on and send 5,000 NSA agents there to round up all the illegals. If you are a documented American worker, you may be released as long as you have ID. The rest will be processed and deported. I like the idea. If you are illegal and brash enough to come out in force, well, I believe your just dumb enough to be arrested and deported for being here illegally.

You know, being from West Virginia-Virginia for most of my life, I know of an old way of thought. You trespass on my land, I will give you a warning. But bewareTRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT.
