For most of my commentary career, I will periodically rail against someone like Britney "Mother of the Year" Spears, Linsey HO-han...I mean, Lohan, Jessica "Undercarriage" Simpson, or the other bevy of female celebrities who flaunt their 'goodies' with no remorse.
I have attacked morons like Lindsey Lohan for weighing 25 pounds and announcing she is trying to lose a few more pounds. I have questioned the popularity of people like Spears and Simpson and Christina Aguilara...and why so many parents look the other way.
I have verbally fought Eminem, 50 Cent, Kanye, and all these other cRappers for their disgusting lyrics and even worse videos that devalue women, meanwhile teaching all kids that women are only worth how often they share themselves with others, men and or women.
In addition, I have supported positive role models...sadly they are few and far between. I have also stood up for people who are attacked unfairly. A couple years ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt was attacked for being fat when she clearly was not even close to being fat. I think the attacks on Britney's appearance at the MTV VMAs two years ago was unfair and gave even more negative messages to little girls everywhere.
So, out of nowhere, I see this news story. It is about Emma Watson, one of the stars of the Harry Potter series of movies. She recently turned 18, and the sicko paparazzi was right there, and as she admitted, there were members taking full advantage of her now-legal status and trying to snap revealing pictures, including paparazzi lying on their backs attempting an up-skirt shot.
Emma Watson does not want to be classified as "sexy." She refuses to don the revealing low-cut tops and high-cut skirts. She dresses conservative, values education, and wants to continue to work and better herself, even though she could live off the fortune the Harry Potter series made possible.
This blog is not to say she is perfect...I am not Chris Matthews and she is not Obama...no tingly feelings here...I am merely pointing out that it is cool and it is good to have morals, decency, and modesty.

The Unfair Fight That Should Unify Conservatives, Women, and Mothers
Here is the situation.
On one side, you have the wife of a presidential candidate actively campaigning, speaking at rallies, and regularly sticking her foot in her mouth by making snide remarks about her country. This woman has called America a "mean" country. She said that the fact that her husband's ability to run for and win a party's nomination for president makes her "proud of [her] country" for the first time. She is an active member of the campaign. She is a campaign spokesperson. Yet, she is beyond reproach. Any questions about her are low-brow, below the belt, low class, and just plain wrong.
On the other side, you have a woman who has accepted the nomination to be her party's Vice President. Her family appears with her at times, but they do not speak. They are not involved in the campaign. They are her family, a separate part of her life. Her husband does not take the stump for her. Her children are not speaking at the national convention. Yet, all of the left-wing media, from the 5,000 failing NBC channels to CNN to ABC to MSN.com to Yahoo.com, all of them are attacking her family, the brunt of the attack focused on a teenage girl.
This campaign has gotten out of hand. I can deal with the media being so obviously biased for Barack Obama. I can live with their 10 times more favorable coverage of Hussein Obama. I can live with the rockstar-like coverage of his field trip to the middle east and Europe. I can even deal with the fact non of his left-wing media friends, and he has a lot, questioned his skipping out on meeting with injured troops in Germany. I can live with all the attacks against McCain or Sarah Palin. I can live with being called racist for not liking Obama, even though his ethnicity has no bearing whatsoever on my dislike.
However, I have a serious, serious problem with attacking a seventeen year-old girl. I have a serious issue with attacks against a teenager who has made a mistake that millions of teens have done, a mistake celebrated and encouraged by most people on the same side that are now attacking her. I have a serious problem with these irresponsible media folks attacking an innocent family for something that has zero bearing on the campaign.
It is just another sad example of how Obama is not qualified to be President. At no point in the 2008 election has Obama shown and outlined his qualifications. He cannot and will not run on the issues. He knows it. The democrats know it. The media knows it. So, they have to run attacks and smears like going after a pregnant teenager.
Pre-marital and unprotected sex are not things I endorse. I am sure Sarah Palin and her husband did not endorse nor encourage their 17-year-old to practice those type of things. However, she is a teen. Teens make mistakes. Teens think they know it all and do things they might later regret. It happens. Yet this teen and her family are united. They are supporting the teen who has opted to keep the baby. She plans to wed the father of the baby. There are far greater errors in judgement teens can make.
How low-brow is it to attack a family and embarrass, hurt, and psychologically scar a 17-year-old girl? How is this okay, yet to question Michelle Obama and her slightly anti-American comments a travesty of travesties?
How can you people sleep at night?
I like Sarah Palin. Her resume might be a little on the thin side, yet she has more executive, decision-making experience than Barack Obama. She has stuck her neck out an enabled change in a short time in the Governor's Office in Juneau, Alaska. She has a track record. She has a policy-based platform to run on as Vice President. She offers more qualifications and experience than Obama, who is running to be President. She is strong, smart, of high morals, and will bring change to Washington. She is a no-nonsense person who will fight for what is right, not what is popular.
She also offers the answer to many Hillary supporters. Those voters, especially many of the women voters, are upset that Obama is in and Hillary did not even get considered to be on the ticket as Vice President. Sarah Palin scares the Democrats. She, like McCain, cannot be defeated on issues.
So, what can they do?
Attack her 17-year-old daughter.
Way to go.

I'm Still a Guy...Part 2 of 2
These days, too many males are shirking their responsibilities as men. They are "men" when its time to get a girl naked, yet they run and bury their head in the sand the second their romp ends up in conception. Males are all but happy to perform the fun part with as many women who are naive enough to participate, yet there are so many biological fathers who run like a 4 year old from a broken lamp to shirk their responsibility.
Any male that is not a strong influence and role model for his children is not a man. No MAN has ever not accepted his duty as a father. Children need a man in their lives. It teaches boys how to be a man, and it teaches girls what a man should be like and what not to accept as a man in her life.
Children need a man in their lives as much as they need a woman. This is not sexist, this is fact. The man is just as influencial in a child's life as is a woman. For balance, security, role-modelling, and structure, a child need its father as much, and in some areas, more than, the mother. However, not just any male can be a father. A father has to be a MAN. A man has to be a stallwart and a person in which children can hold high esteem.
The character of a real man is based in responsiility. A man finds and provides food, shelter, security, and stability for his family. Sometimes, this can involve a woman's help, either financially through her work, or in other ways. However, it is a natural instinct for the man to be the breadwinner. A man needs to be responsible for ensuring a warm plate of food on the table, a sturdy roof overhead, a safe place in which to live and eat, and a strong environment in which the family can grow and prosper.
A man's responsibility is also to model God-fearing, God-serving, and Christ-like practices in all that he does. A boy will watch his father more intently than imaginable in those early formitive years. It is the man's responsibility to model appropriate behavior for the son to model, as well as for the daughter to become accustomed to so that she seeks the same in her mate later on in life.
No MAN has ever hit a woman. Re-read that statement. No one who is a man has ever laid his hands on a woman in a violent manner. If you hit a woman, you are not a man. If you strike anyone in any manner other than legitimate self-defense, you are not a man. No bully can also be a man.
A man must love his wife and his family without equivocation or doubt. The man must devote himself to the happiness and security of his wife and children. The way in which he treats his wife is going to be, in most cases, the way the son treats his wife in the future. If a man loves, honors, and respects his wife, his son will do the same. Just as importanly, his daughter will expect the same and not settle for less. The converse is true as well. If a man disrespects, cheats on, or otherwise does not appreciate his wife, his children will mimmick the behavior in their relationships.
So, to all members of the male species, it is time to reassert ourselves. It is time to fight the feminization of our kind and take our rightful places as real, big, hairy, stinky, sweaty, competitive, risk-taking men. It is time to show all these little boys what a man REALLY is...

I'm Still a Guy...
Brad Paisley currently has a song on the charts simply called, "I'm Still a Guy." It is a simply, funny, testosterone and masculinity infested song that reminds us of what is wrong with society.
In a less humorous but even more poingiant work, Dr. James Dobson looks at the eroding ideals of maleness and masculinity in his book, Bringing Up Boys.
The issues and themes that the song and the book have in common is that there is a constant, successful, and damaging attack on maleness and what it means to be a MAN. Our society is destroying and eradicating what it is that naturally makes men and women different.
This blog is a two-part series of my opinions of the lack of real “men” in our world’s society. Of course, this is the type of thing that is a broad generalization. There is no rule or implication of a rule of society. However, this two-part blog is an indictment of society as a whole. Everyday you might be able to see or hear about exceptions to this blog and its ideas. Nonetheless, on the whole, this blog, I think, accurately describes and investigates the castration of society.
No longer are men celebrated as being hairy, brutish, strong, cocky, competitive, and instinctive leaders. Men are supposed to be full of estrogen and "think" and "feel" and exfoliate and moisturize and remove excess hair. Men are becoming women and women are becoming the middle ground, somewhat masculine, yet still a hint of femininity. Men, however, are constantly derided for having masculinity and defining themselves as different than women.
Males within the human species are becoming de-gendered. There are these metro-sexuals that are blurring the lines between gay and straight, man and woman. It is adversely affecting our society.
We, as human beings, are not decedents of metro-sexual cavemen. We are not the end result of generations of humans who did not differentiate the sexes. Humans come from male hunters and gatherers, and from female home makers.
Now, do not get me wrong. There is NOTHING wrong with women in the workplace. There is no problem and I hold no grudge or ill-will towards a two-working-parent household. I am not sexist, nor am I anti-woman. To accuse me of being sexist and anti-woman would be incredibly ridiculous and far off from my point.
The point of this blog is to call on males to recapture what it is to be a MAN. Men are supposed to get sweaty. Men are supposed to get their hands dirty. Men are hunters and gatherers. Men are competitive. Men do not use loofa sponges. Men do not get pedicures and manicures and facials. Men do not get botox injections. Men, at least those who are not Olympic swimmers, do not shave from nose to toes. Men do not pluck their eyebrows.
We have a severe lack of masculinity in our society. Society worked best when there were clear definitions of what a man was and what a woman was. Boys today have instincts to be little men, yet they have no one to look to in order for them to channel their masculine energies into becoming strong and capable men.
Part two will be posted tomorrow. Please feel free to comment about your feelings.

Something is SERIOUSLY Wrong Here...
Ok, in all seriousness we need to talk about something.
A 30 year old male teacher has sex with a 16 year old girl. He is fried. Buried. Dead. Haunted for the rest of his life.
A 30 year old female teacher has sex with a 16 year old boy, she gets away with a slap on the wrist and the boy is the new hero in town.
What is wrong with this picture?
Both teachers should be raked over the coals for corrupting these kids. Instead, its a joke in our country where all men say, "Where were these female teachers when I was in school?"
Take a father of a 16 year old boy and a 15 year old girl...the father would not be riled to anger or disgust if his son has sex with a female teacher. There might even be a beer or other sign of pride shared between them. That same father would load up a shotgut and have to be hit with a stun gun at the door of the school if a teacher touched his daughter. This is such a moral contradiction.
In both cases, adults in powerful positions can use their positions to persuade children, not capable of making the right call in this position, into consenting to sex. Whether there was aggressive action coming from the CHILD, the ADULT needs to say NO. It doesn't matter who was the aggressor and who was the male or female. It is RAPE. If an adult takes advantage of a child, it is RAPE. They are RAPED of innocence...RAPED of proper judgement...RAPED of the ability to properly respect the opposite sex and respect the power and importance of sex.
I just don't get the double standard. When a man rapes a girl, he is put through the fire and rightfully so. Yet, its almost acceptable for a woman to rape a boy.
This is just another in a series of problems that are really getting me worried about the plight of our country and our world.

Women! Listen!
I wanted to discuss an important topic.
Ladies.
Yes, ladies. I am making some generalizations in this little rambling, but I think about everyone could take something out of what I am saying. I might sound like I am on some kind of high horse...and maybe I am. But I think this needs to be said and repeated over, and over and over and over...
The reason this is such an issue is that there is a serious lack of ladies in the world today. Even fewer little girls will grow up to be ladies in the years to come.
By lady, I mean a woman who is confident, modest, strong, and values herself as a person and refuses to be objectified as a "piece." I mean a woman who is strong enough to live and be happy without selling her body for acceptance and "love."
Too often, on TV, in movies, in songs, in every aspect of life, girls are taught that letting a boy have his way with them is acceptable and encouraged. Girls are ingrained with the idea that sex is their only asset to get what they think they want. And what they think they want is also ingrained by the same venues that teach them that they are only as good as the amount of cleavage they show or partners they have.
So, today, as a man, I want to stop the trend. I don't want some easy tramp who thinks the only way I might love her is if she sleeps with me. I don't want some woman who is incomplete by herself and needs to feel wanted, and they stoop to any level to get that feeling of want, even if it is misguided and more lust than true want.
Instead, what I want is a woman with confidence. A woman who knows that she is more that just a notch on a bedpost. A woman who thinks for herself and doesn't buy into the idea that showing more and giving more is the right way to live. A woman with morals. A woman with her head on straight. Someone who can intrigue me without unbuttoning her blouse.
Women, its time to stand up for yourselves. Stop letting yourself get walked on and treated as a piece of tail. You have so much more to offer. Be proud of who you are and be strong. Stop listening to what 50 Cent or Ludacris or Eminem or any of 1,000 singers might say...stop looking at movies and TV shows....you can still watch and enjoy them, but stop learning their misguided lessons.
Girls today have lost the innocence and modesty that makes women so incredible. High school girls compete for lovers and numbers of partners like boys used to only claim to have done in locker rooms. Far too many girls are running out of fingers to count their partners on before they get a high school diploma. Too many girls are under the impression that it is okay to be promiscuous and to dress in revealing and slutty clothes. Too many girls are growing up as cheap, easy, incomplete people whose life consists of too high an emphasis on sex.
Girls might want to blame guys...say guys are the reason because guys are brought up to think the same thing. To an extent, the girls do have a point. However, girls, it is up to you to take a stand and teach the boys that you are worth more than that. Stop giving in to the cute guys just because they are cute. Stop giving yourself away and stop degrading and devaluing yourself.
And guys...stop thinking with your penis. It is almost as much our fault for acting like sex-craved horn-dogs as it is the girls' fault for giving in and rewarding that kind of weakness. It is a far stronger man that waits to have sex for love then have sex for fun.
Having sex can be fun...but it can be so much more. It can be truly fulfilling and truly gratifying if you wait for the right partner and the right reasons. Having sex is not a way to create love where it doesn't exist, nor is it a way to extend a relationship. Sex is not an avenue to keep a person you care about with you. If you have to go to bed to keep someone, then they obviously do not value you enough. So, don't give in to pressure. That is not love, and that is not healthy.
We have become a free-sex society and it is tragically destroying our world and any semblance of morality. Guys and girls, stop going to bed with people you aren't married to. If you wait until there is a real sense of love and meaning between partners, everything will be so much better.
Ok, I am off the high horse now...but I am still right.

Innocence Stripped Away...Liberals call it PROGRESS!!
(This Blog originally appeared on my MySpace blog in 2007.)
As I sit at my sister's apartment, sipping instant mix hot chocolate, I wonder just how sad our society has already gotten, and just how far it will go.
I remember a time when hot chocolate was a thrill. When I had no idea what sex was and how babies were really made. I was able to enjoy life and not worry about the world crumbling into oblivion, literally and figuratively.
I used to be innocent. You could call it ignorance, but as a kid, even as recently as the late 80's, ignorance was bliss.
But today, people are constantly pushing back the age of innocence and of blissful ignorance. Most of these people are staunch liberals, and vote democrat...let's see what the liberals are doing now.
In case you haven't heard, law-makers in Maine are pushing for new programs (and more wasted tax dollars) to provide contraceptives for 11 year olds.
Yes, 11.
Just over a decade in age.
These kids are going to be stripped of any chance of that ignorant bliss I enjoyed as a kid. These children will be given the keys to a dangerous vehicle---sex.
Sex is not a toy...its not a meaningless act of fun and excitement. Whether you will admit it or not, there are serious psychological and emotional consequenses when engaging in sex. You can ignore it all you want, but there are chemical, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual changes that occur within yourself everytime you participate in sex. Cannot be helped. It was DESIGNED that way.
These side effects and changes that occur when sex happens are complex. So complex that many adults have trouble understanding and dealing with them. Yet, we continue to push children closer and closer to sex at younger and younger ages.
Within the next ten years, I guarentee that there will be a 7th grader who misses school due to maternity leave. Think I am kidding???
Why in the world are we destroying the innocence of our kids? Why are we allowing it to happen sooner and sooner?
Its bad enough the smut and garbage we put up with on TV and in what they call music. Movies are garbage. There is very little decent, kid-friendly product left in the world. So why not let 11 year-olds have the safe-haven of school?
Why are we going to allow the Big-Brother government come in, rape our children of innocence, and give them condoms and other sex-related information and contraceptives??
We are becoming so socialist, and it scares me that more people do not realize it. We are slowly being led into a society controlled by a larger-than-life government that will tell us every single detail of our lives.
Read the novel 1984. Big Brother IS watching us. Big Brother is people like Moveon.org, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry, and most of the rest of the left.
Please, stop the raping of the innocence of our children. Stop this measure, and others like it. Let the kids have some happiness and blissful ignorance before we open the doors to worlds they could not possibly comprehend.
(Here is a response to this blog I recieved on my MySpace blog page.)
"You know, when I was in middle school (1989-1992), we had an 8th grader who was pregnant with her SECOND child. A couple of years ago at the school where I work, we had an 8th grader pregnant by a 7th grader. My point? Kids are being "adults" in today's society no matter if we like it or not. This is NOT the fault of the democratic party, but rather the parents who have decided not to be parents. When you have middle schoolers with their parents permitting their boyfriends/girlfriends moving into their homes, what do you expect. And, let's not forget society in general. Sex is EVERYWHERE... in magazine ads, on TV, even widely mentioned in news stories. How do you expect kids, who already are clueless to what's happening to their changing bodies (since parents leave that part out of discussions and Republicans don't want teachers to be the ones to explain it to children) to know anything but to go out and "have a good time" in whatever way they see fit. It's the same thing with drugs. I would've never believed how many middle school and high school students (even elementary for that matter) are doing drugs of various kinds on a daily basis. Since they ARE doing it, should educators and politicians simply discontinue drug awareness also? Wow. Fact is, we live in this society and we can choose to ignore the issues or we can choose to be proactive about them. I'd prefer to keep those 11 year olds children rather than parents. At least that way they'd have a chance at growing past their childish, curious ways and become productive (childless) teenagers... and on into adults."
(Here is my follow-up blog in response to the comments left on my MySpace page.)
I felt the need to write a follow-up to my previous post, based upon some of the responses I recieved. There are several points I need to make to further my previous blog.
My first point is this: the problem with most left-wing-inspired solutions is that they are not solutions. They are band-aids trying to fix broken bones. They are like cough medicine to fix constipation. It just is not going to work and will not fix the real problems.
You can look like you want to help, but if you do not get to the root of a problem and fight to improve the situation, all you are doing is enabling the furtherment of the issue.
This particular issue is public schools providing contraceptives and sex education to children as young as 11. I have a SERIOUS problem with this.
The point is raised that there are kids that young already engaging in sex, so we have to do nothing more than accept it. Go ahead and give them the keys to the car since some of them are already driving.
Why spend all of these tax dollars to further encourage younger and younger children to engage in sex? If you are making the contraceptives available, you are encouraging it. Plain and simple.
I don't know all the answers. No one does. But the answer is NOT giving 11 year olds condoms.
Why can't we start addressing the REAL problem? The REAL problem is not trying to make sure that 11 year olds are having safe sex. The REAL problem is that kids that young are engaging in ANY kind of sexual activity.
The problem is, no one wants to work at it. No one wants to put any real effort into fixing our society. Everyone wants everything handed to them. No one is willing to get dirty and clean things up. Everyone is afraid of getting sued.
Everyone is looking to the government to save us...
Which is what the elite left want...they want you to look to Washington, DC, for all your answers. They want to be the ones to tell you what questions you should be asking.
When are we going to stand up as people and fight to save our society? Fight to save morals, responsibilty, and decency? Fight to restore some innocence to the lives of our children?
What is it going to take for us to fight back and clean up the mess?
Is there anyone willing to roll up the sleeves and put some REAL effort into addressing the REAL problems in society?
Here is a list of the major problems we could start with:
-Severe lack of self-responsibility...no matter what you do, we have a government program to bail you out so you never have to learn from your mistakes. You go get pregnant? That's fine. We'll let you kill it with no questions asked. You don't even have to tell your parents/guardians about it! Didn't do anything productive with your life? Why, here's a check for you! You can collect as long as you like.
-EXTREME selfishness...mostly brought on by the baby-boomer generation who had everything handed to them on a silver platter after WWII. No depression to deal with...no real threat to their safety as Americans until 9-11-01...and even then we were spoiled into thinking that there was no more threat to us.
-Unbelievable laziness...we drive 15 minutes in parking lots looking for a space 10 feet closer to the store. we won't get off our couches to vote....we won't spend any real time researching the issues and vetting our political candidates...we use the left-slant of the media as our only guidence for voting...we do not take time to reach out to people in need of guidence and care and training...if we can't cut a check and mail it in, we really are slow to help people in need...we are a sorry, lazy society.
-Television is NOT A BABYSITTER!!!! Obviously, thanks to the likes of Judges like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the other liberals who have been on the US Supreme Court, we are not going to be able to stop the garbage that is being produced for TV and movies. What we CAN do is start creating and finding better alternatives to the televisions for children. I know parents have to work and cannot be there to keep kids distracted from watching...but we need some effort by the parents and other people to get the kids off the couch and away from the horrible influences of TV, movies, and even video games.
If we could actually get motivated to address those issues, maybe we can get back to a point to where society is worth saving. I cannot imagine society being much worse when God had Noah build the Ark. It scares me to think how poorly we, including me and pretty much everyone in the world today, have done with out lives and with our society.
We are all spoiled. We are all lazy. We all shirk responsibility.
That needs to change...or, God help us...if He isn't already given up on us.
As I sit at my sister's apartment, sipping instant mix hot chocolate, I wonder just how sad our society has already gotten, and just how far it will go.
I remember a time when hot chocolate was a thrill. When I had no idea what sex was and how babies were really made. I was able to enjoy life and not worry about the world crumbling into oblivion, literally and figuratively.
I used to be innocent. You could call it ignorance, but as a kid, even as recently as the late 80's, ignorance was bliss.
But today, people are constantly pushing back the age of innocence and of blissful ignorance. Most of these people are staunch liberals, and vote democrat...let's see what the liberals are doing now.
In case you haven't heard, law-makers in Maine are pushing for new programs (and more wasted tax dollars) to provide contraceptives for 11 year olds.
Yes, 11.
Just over a decade in age.
These kids are going to be stripped of any chance of that ignorant bliss I enjoyed as a kid. These children will be given the keys to a dangerous vehicle---sex.
Sex is not a toy...its not a meaningless act of fun and excitement. Whether you will admit it or not, there are serious psychological and emotional consequenses when engaging in sex. You can ignore it all you want, but there are chemical, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual changes that occur within yourself everytime you participate in sex. Cannot be helped. It was DESIGNED that way.
These side effects and changes that occur when sex happens are complex. So complex that many adults have trouble understanding and dealing with them. Yet, we continue to push children closer and closer to sex at younger and younger ages.
Within the next ten years, I guarentee that there will be a 7th grader who misses school due to maternity leave. Think I am kidding???
Why in the world are we destroying the innocence of our kids? Why are we allowing it to happen sooner and sooner?
Its bad enough the smut and garbage we put up with on TV and in what they call music. Movies are garbage. There is very little decent, kid-friendly product left in the world. So why not let 11 year-olds have the safe-haven of school?
Why are we going to allow the Big-Brother government come in, rape our children of innocence, and give them condoms and other sex-related information and contraceptives??
We are becoming so socialist, and it scares me that more people do not realize it. We are slowly being led into a society controlled by a larger-than-life government that will tell us every single detail of our lives.
Read the novel 1984. Big Brother IS watching us. Big Brother is people like Moveon.org, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry, and most of the rest of the left.
Please, stop the raping of the innocence of our children. Stop this measure, and others like it. Let the kids have some happiness and blissful ignorance before we open the doors to worlds they could not possibly comprehend.
(Here is a response to this blog I recieved on my MySpace blog page.)
"You know, when I was in middle school (1989-1992), we had an 8th grader who was pregnant with her SECOND child. A couple of years ago at the school where I work, we had an 8th grader pregnant by a 7th grader. My point? Kids are being "adults" in today's society no matter if we like it or not.

The Dr. Phil House Today
Normally, I wouldn't admit to watching Dr. Phil...but, I have to admit to it today due to the topic addressed.
Child molestation.
I was appalled at the story that today's show centered around. A loving family of a husband, wife, and beautiful little girl trusted the mother and father of the husband to be occasional babysitters. Sadly, that trust was tragically misplaced.
The young girl's grandfather sexually molested her and robbed her of her innocence at only age six. Just as tragic, when the six year old, knowing what happened was wrong, went to the wife of the molesting grandfather, (which is her grandmother, obviously), the grandmother tried to hide it.
The sick loser of a grandfather went to prison (a whopping eight hole months) and cannot be withing 300 yards of his granddaughter. However, the grandmother is only banned from the child at the parent's request.
As I sat there and watched the grandparents shirk any self-responsibility for the act and blame the devil and only say they were sorry, I was so disgusted. First, anyone who harms a child, especially in a sexual way, is a sick, twisted scum that deserves the worst possible punishments known to man (castration sure sounds fair). Harming a child warrants far more than 8 months in jail. Harming a child like that should be far more serverely punished than what it is in our country.
And we have special interest groups (all of whom vote Democrat!) who fight for the rights of the molesters. Fight to keep them out of jail. Fight the registered sex offenders list constantly. Fight to keep these sickos in mainstream society. Our society would rather punish the victim and celebrate the criminal. There is no real punishment a civilized society can give to child molesters, but I think what we do offer is severely lacking.
So, let this little blog serve warning. When I do have children, if anyone...and I mean ANYONE...harms them, molests them, or otherwise causes pain or suffering to my child, let me just say that that person would not live to see prison. I am not a violent man, wrestling notwithstanding, but you hurt my child, or if I find you hurting any other child, I will plant your sorry soul. How that father could sit calmly in the same room as his father after what he did to that little girl drives me nuts. You touch my, or any other kid that way, and they would have to pry my fingers from your lifeless throat.

Foley is SICK...And the politics of Children's Safety.
Okay, so by now I am sure you have heard something about the Republican congressman that e-mailed or instant messaged a young male page. The content of those messages was rather explicit, on occasion, and definitely showed some inpropriety on the part of Foley.
Let me preface the following paragraphs with this bit of information. I have no problem with homosexual people. I do not in anyway support their lifestyle or their choice in partners, but, as a whole, as it pertains to the individual person, I do not hold ill will or other prejudice towards homosexuals. I would rather they choose the natural order of things and love the opposite sex, but I do not have that power. So, to be straight and clear, I do not hate or judge or discriminate against gays, lesbians, or homosexuals in general. I don't agree with their choices. That doesn't make me a bad person. I disagree with their opinions on certain issues.
So, that being said, I want to say that I think Foley is sick for abusing his position of power to coerce a teenage boy into a homosexual relationship. The whole story is sick and dispicable. His solicitation of a homosexual relationship from a young boy is wrong on every level. I think Foley is sick and I am glad he resigned. If he committed any crime, throw him in jail! Throw away the key.
Now, what is almost as bad as Foley is the liberal left's handling of the situation. A group funded by billionaire liberal whacko George Soros had the incriminating documents as early as April of this year. Instead of turning it over to authorities immediately, they held it until we are just over 1 month from election time. Makes sense, right? Use a scandal to regain the House and Senate.
Why not?
I will tell you why not. I will also tell you why our country cannot afford to allow this tactic to work.
First, this evidence was not just some incriminating documents...this was proof of a child/sexual predator. So, they held evidence that could stop one young man from being taken advantage of, and possible prevent future abuses, for political gain. Makes you wonder what they would NOT have hidden. Is there any level at which the left will not hide evidence until it suits their needs?
Its scary to think what they might cover up until it is politically beneficial, no matter how much suffering and pain and criminal activity may ensue by their irresponsibility. Do you think that information that could prevent a terrorist attack would be immune from being held up if the liberals thought it could help their cause?
Second, the liberals are always trumpeting their support of gay rights and NAMBLA and such. Yet, they don't care to throw gays under the bus when they think they can step on them to move forward. The democrats are threatening to out gay republicans and go after any gay person to hurt the rebulicans as we go toward the election. Their hypocrisy is scary.
I really think that anyone who held documents that incriminated Foley should be arrested for obstruction of justice.
I hope the voters can see the truth through the smoke screen of the left and the liberal media. I hope they don't give the power of the US Congress to a bunch of cut-and-run, never-get-the-job-done, raise-your-taxes, throw-gays-and-minorities-and-anyone-we-choose-under-the-bus-when-it-suits-our-needs liberals.
Then again, there is only so long that the loud, obnoxious screams of the liberal media and Hollywood will stay ineffective. Perhaps this November will be painful for the Conservative cause...and only the new media of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will point out the obvious problems with this situation.

Liberal Activist Judges....
In case you haven't heard, liberalism hit a new low this week. A convicted and confessed child rapist was given the softest sentence possible.
Raping a girl repeatedly over a 4 year period will earn the rapist only 60 days in jail. SIXTY. TWO MONTHS. As with all liberal whining, Judge Edward Cashman said he does not believe in punishment. He believes in rehab. He believes that this scum is a low risk repeat offender.
How in the hell does that figure? If it was a one time event in a drugged out stupor, I could see, but not agree with, the conclusion. BUT! HE IS A REPEAT OFFENDER. He raped that little girl many, many times over the course of 4 years. To me, Repeat involves doing a crime more than once. Thus, he repeatedly raped this girl. There is the real possibility that this scumbag is serving one day per rape. How sad is that?
This is sick and extremely sad. This is where the modern day liberal is headed. Oh, yeah, there's outrage now, but Cashman will be thought of as a pioneer in 5-10 years. Liberals love the rights of the criminals. Screw the victims.
Who is the criminal? Remember this name. If you ever see or meet this scum, hock a loogie in his face. This scum, I refuse to call him a man because I call myself a man and men do not rape little girls, is named Mark Hulett, age 34, of Williston, Vt. If I ever came across this scum, I might be sent to prison longer for assaulting him (because I would kick the ever loving shit out of him) than he is going for RAPE.
(Editorial note: This story made it to Bill O'Reilly and the "No Spin Zone," and within a few days, the barrage of phone calls and emails to the Governor's office in Vermont was too much. The ridiculous sentence was changed. )

A New Era in Sports...I Hope!
A new era of sports is merging upon us, and I am loving it.
Ron Artest, Marcus Vick, Latrell Spreewell, and Terrell Owens are all examples of what has been wrong with sports for many years. The spoiled, ME-first attitude of the athlete has been nourished and, at times, encouraged by fans, coaches, agents, and other people of impact. However, the limits of what a star can get away with are becoming more clear and the world will be better for it.
First, Ron Artest. Yeah, he is kind of like Dennis Rodman, who I support and would like to see back with the Bulls. However, I never saw Rodman punch a 16-year-old kid after getting hit with a plastic cup. In no way was Artest in danger. No one would be in danger from that cup. A security guard could have removed the out of line fan. Instead, Artest punches THE WRONG FAN, starting the ugliest fiasco in the history of American sports. In spite of all that, Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers stood by and supported Artest and welcomed him back with open arms in 2005-06. Then, Artest stabs them in the heart by openly asking for a trade. So, the Pacers did what was painful, but right, and deactivated Artest. They may pay a price financially as well as in victories, but I think the Indiana, and all NBA fans, should applaud the Pacers for their strength and backbone and moral code.
Second, a young man I cheered and booed at times this year. I love my Hokies, but now I, and all Hokie fans, have a big black eye thanks to this spoiled brat. Marcus Vick has had a tough act to follow being in his brother's shadow. However, there comes a time when Michael can no longer baby his little brother and Marcus must grow up. Marcus refused to grow up. He flipped-off WVU fans, elbowed a coach, choked when the season was on the line versus Miami, and then stomped on the leg of Elvis Dumerville in the Gator Bowl. All this caused me to doubt his character and leadership ability, things required to be a successful quarterback. His off-the-field exploits further diminish his attractiveness to fans and NFL scouts alike. And, after Virginia Tech, like Indiana with Artest, gave Marcus one more shot, he stabbed them in the heart by not growing up. So, they, too, had to cut their losses and replace a great talent. With this kind of baggage, the negatives become longer-term than the successes, so Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech did what was hard, but right, and cut him loose.
Now to Spree. Mr. "I-have-a-family-to-feed," turned down $21 million because he couldn't feed his family on that salary. What is he feeding them? Rare 50 lb. lobster and filet mingon everynight? There are millions of minimum wage burger flippers that find ways to feed their family on $150 a week. This guy turned down $150 per breath...so, the Minnesota Timberwolves let their problems and a major contributor to their success go and the rest of the league has stayed away. I applaud the NBA execs for not picking this guy up. He has serious issues and does not deserve the privilege to play in the NBA.
Last but not least, for this blog, is TO. TO got exactly what he deserves. I just feel bad for the town of Philadelphia and Donovan McNabb. McNabb has put up with all sorts of crap and still stands strong and leads. He plays through pain. He tried to maintain a civil lockerroom. However, TO would not allow that. He had to get his dollars. He had to get his, Eagles be damned. So, Andy Reid and the Eagles said, "Adios!" and TO was no mo. TO will play again, but his value is extremely diminished because of his selfish, team-disrupting attitude and behavior.
I applaud these teams and leagues for beginning to turn the tides. Keep turning the tides against these spoiled, selfish athletes. They are by far some of the most overpaid people on the planet, but I won't complain as long as they give 100% on the field to their team. And is it THAT hard to ask these athletes to ACT like they are civilized human beings? Part of the job of pro athlete is the fact you are a role model. It comes with the territory. Its an occupational hazard. If you don't want to be a role model, get a job in an office building somewhere.
So, in being a role model, could you please, as an athlete, set a decent example for the kids who love, adore, and emulate you?
Ron Artest, Marcus Vick, Latrell Spreewell, and Terrell Owens are all examples of what has been wrong with sports for many years. The spoiled, ME-first attitude of the athlete has been nourished and, at times, encouraged by fans, coaches, agents, and other people of impact. However, the limits of what a star can get away with are becoming more clear and the world will be better for it.
First, Ron Artest. Yeah, he is kind of like Dennis Rodman, who I support and would like to see back with the Bulls. However, I never saw Rodman punch a 16-year-old kid after getting hit with a plastic cup. In no way was Artest in danger. No one would be in danger from that cup. A security guard could have removed the out of line fan. Instead, Artest punches THE WRONG FAN, starting the ugliest fiasco in the history of American sports. In spite of all that, Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers stood by and supported Artest and welcomed him back with open arms in 2005-06. Then, Artest stabs them in the heart by openly asking for a trade. So, the Pacers did what was painful, but right, and deactivated Artest. They may pay a price financially as well as in victories, but I think the Indiana, and all NBA fans, should applaud the Pacers for their strength and backbone and moral code.
Second, a young man I cheered and booed at times this year. I love my Hokies, but now I, and all Hokie fans, have a big black eye thanks to this spoiled brat. Marcus Vick has had a tough act to follow being in his brother's shadow. However, there comes a time when Michael can no longer baby his little brother and Marcus must grow up. Marcus refused to grow up. He flipped-off WVU fans, elbowed a coach, choked when the season was on the line versus Miami, and then stomped on the leg of Elvis Dumerville in the Gator Bowl. All this caused me to doubt his character and leadership ability, things required to be a successful quarterback. His off-the-field exploits further diminish his attractiveness to fans and NFL scouts alike. And, after Virginia Tech, like Indiana with Artest, gave Marcus one more shot, he stabbed them in the heart by not growing up. So, they, too, had to cut their losses and replace a great talent. With this kind of baggage, the negatives become longer-term than the successes, so Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech did what was hard, but right, and cut him loose.
Now to Spree. Mr. "I-have-a-family-to-feed," turned down $21 million because he couldn't feed his family on that salary. What is he feeding them? Rare 50 lb. lobster and filet mingon everynight? There are millions of minimum wage burger flippers that find ways to feed their family on $150 a week. This guy turned down $150 per breath...so, the Minnesota Timberwolves let their problems and a major contributor to their success go and the rest of the league has stayed away. I applaud the NBA execs for not picking this guy up. He has serious issues and does not deserve the privilege to play in the NBA.
Last but not least, for this blog, is TO. TO got exactly what he deserves. I just feel bad for the town of Philadelphia and Donovan McNabb. McNabb has put up with all sorts of crap and still stands strong and leads. He plays through pain. He tried to maintain a civil lockerroom. However, TO would not allow that. He had to get his dollars. He had to get his, Eagles be damned. So, Andy Reid and the Eagles said, "Adios!" and TO was no mo. TO will play again, but his value is extremely diminished because of his selfish, team-disrupting attitude and behavior.

Happy New Year 2006!
Happy New Year!
Just an idea...this goes out to my women friends. Please tell two of your friends, and tell them to tell two more and so on.
Stop letting yourselves be cheapened.
Stop letting yourself be convinced that you have to look slutty and or act slutty to get a man's attention or to get somewhere in life. Stop encouraging my fellow menfolk to think from their zippers by giving in to their childish demands.
Stop being so forgiving of men for cheating. Cheating is the ultimate hurt and insult. Forgiving is just slightly different than encouraging. Forgiving a cheater gives them control...gives them the power to cheat more often because they know they have you around their finger.
Stop acting like the women on TV. Women, like us males, have so few positive role models. The only time a woman should let a man into her bed on the first date is if that first date didn't come until after they fell in love and were married.
I am not trying to be holier-than-thou. I am not trying to insult or berate or come down on. It is merely an idea I propose. I did, in fact, lose a friend of three years over a difference in ideas over the summer...so I know how overreacted people can get. But I hope you can take this in the spirit in which it is intended.
Happy New Year! May God bless your 2006.

Race in America. Can a White Man even talk about it?
Today, I am going to make some people uneasy.
GOOD. People think better when they are taken out of their comfort zone.
Today, I am talking against MICHAEL ERIC DYSON and for BILL COSBY.
We all know who Bill Cosby is...a man who EARNED his way to prominence in not only th black world, but in the world as a whole. He went to school, read books, learned proper English, and became a rich, successful man. And he did it without relying on affirmative action or some other liberal "equalizer" to get him through. He is a brilliant man who worked hard to get what he has. Beginning at a speech to the NAACP, Cosby started a war on ignorance, laziness, crime, and lack of personal responsibility.
Many applauded his speech and his efforts to combat the downfalls of lower middle class and poor blacks. He brought their entire lifestyle and culture to question, challenged their disregard for taking it upon themselves to prosper without crime, and attacked their willingness to settle for the life they have without working toward a better future. As far as I am concerned, Cosby hasn't spoken a mistruth since he began his attack on the poor black cutlure.
But, then again, I am white. Where parents, for the most part, teach children that education and respect will get you places.
Cosby feels that in this country, in this day, no one who gets an education, develops proper self-respect, develops a respect for others, and becomes a worthwhile employee, anyone who does that, will succeed. Cosby sees ads many see, many poor blacks are not doing that today.
So, Cosby has been calling his race out-he wants work ethic to become a staple lesson to blacks. He wants a high level of personal responsibility restored. He wants blacks to become more educated, more responsible, hold higher moral standards, be better parents, and build a life that does not involve crime.
Why is that so wrong?
Michael Eric Dyson, also a successful African American, is a professor who completely disagrees with Cosby's attack on the poor black lifestyle. In fact, he put pen to paper and has a book out called: Is Bill Cosby Right? Or has the Black Middle Class Lost its Mind? This book is an attack on Cosby's attack. This book is a 300 page list of excuses for the poor black community to do just as they have for the past 20 years.
In an excerpt from his book available here: at NPR's website, Dyson insluts blacks as a whole while also attacking Cosby for coming out and challenging blacks.
Cosby's overemphasis on personal responsibility, not structural features, wrongly locates the source of poor black suffering—and by implication its remedy—in the lives of the poor. When you think the problems are personal, you think the solutions are the same. If only the poor were willing to work harder, act better, get educated, stay out of jail and parent more effectively, their problems would go away. It's hard to argue against any of these things in the abstract; in principle such suggestions sound just fine. But one could do all of these things and still be in bad shape at home, work or school. For instance, Cosby completely ignores shifts in the economy that give value to some work while other work, in the words of William Julius Wilson, "disappears." In our high-tech, high-skilled economy where low-skilled work is being scaled back, phased out, exported, or severely under-compensated, all the right behavior in the world won't create better jobs with more pay. And without such support, all the goals that Cosby expresses for the black poor are not likely to become reality. If the rigidly segregated educational system continues to miserably fail poor blacks by failing to prepare their children for the world of work, then admonitions to "stay in school" may ring hollow.
(The bold and RED is mine for emphasis on some of the statements made here.)
First, the comment that Cosby overemphasizes personal responsibility. To me, that is a statement that completely supports Cosby's statements. How can you OVEREMPHASIZE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY? The choices one makes in this life are what determines our life. Yes, there are outside factors that contribute to our successes and failures. There are people who will do us wrong. There are unfair circumstances. SO WHAT? Get over it. Move on. Try harder. It is up to God's plan and your personal responsibility to yourself and your family as to whether you are a success in life. However, you cannot wait for God or any other deity, situation, or person to arrive to your front door step. You must make the efforts necessary to be a success. It is up to YOU and no other human being.
Dyson then berates his entire race with the second comments I put in bold. He all but calls blacks too dumb to work high-tech, high-skilled jobs. He says that in the high-tech, high-skilled work place, there are no or fewer opportunities for blacks. HUH? Just because the world is developing and requiring intelligence and education, there is no place for blacks? NO. If ANYONE gets an education and has work ethic, there is room for them in the work place. This is what Cosby is getting at. This goes back to the personal responsibility issue. You can't expect a drug dealer to drop the dime bags and walk into the CEO's chair at Microsoft. No. He's got to go to school, learn how to type and read and gain an understanding of computers, THEN he goes to work and climbs the ladder. Few, if any, successful people started on the top rung.
Dyson thinks blacks can't hang with the high tech world. Cosby thinks if they get and education and work for it, they can. Who do you side with?
The last comment in this excerpt from the excerpt bothers me very much. He blames the education system for the poor state that schools in highly black areas are in. How about looking around, Dyson. Its a vicious cycle of crime, irresponsibility, and laziness. The schools are in bad shape because the kids were not raised right and are running the school because they have not been taught responsibility. So, they have kids who go through the same cycle. IF the parents of poor black kids would raise them with integrity and personal responsibility, the kids would not ruin the schools and would be able to learn while in the building. However, when you are raised by the streets while mom is either coked and smoked out of her mind and sleeping with random men, or she is out working 2 jobs because her sorry man left, then the streets is all the kids know. And they bring the streets to school.
Bill Cosby is right. He may seem mean, hateful, and a traitor to blacks at times, but trust me, he is not. Cosby's crusade can save many blacks from the vicious cycle they are in, and at the same time, save our country. Cosby needs support from every person of every race.
If you ask me, Dyson is the traitor because he excuses the black behavior and encourages blacks to stay right were they are.
GOOD. People think better when they are taken out of their comfort zone.

The Self Image of Young Girls...It's Scary.
Does this look like someone who needs to drop a few pounds? Didn't think so. But Lindsay Lohan believes that if she went arm to twiglike arm with some of her fellow streamlined starlets, she'd look like she was carrying extra baggage.
"... Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight," the alarmingly slimmed-down teen queen tells Teen Vogue. "There are so many really, really thin girls out there."
(Perhaps one of them could give the once super-shapely beauty a mirror and a grilled cheese sandwich. Too mean? All right, moving on ...)
Lohan has dismissed eating-disorder whispers, attributing her skin-and-bones bod to a loss of "baby fat," and she tells the magazine she "feels good" about her new figure because "you can fit into more things."--This is an article online on MSN.com.
Wow.
Lindsey Lohan used to be a very attractive girl. Now, she is sickeningly thin.And on top of that, she is obviously sick in the head too. She thinks she could lose a few pounds? WHERE??
And, as a pop-culture princess, what the hell is she doing to little girls around the world with her comments?
Folks, its time to stop the thin is in craze. Its perfectly okay to want to be fit and healthy...but to drop to a point where your only cleavage is actually ribs poing through, that is a major problem.
Girls today keep getting the wrong messages...and they keep buying it. I can guarentee at least one girl will be directly affected by Lohans comments and will die from starving herself to be that sickeningly thin. I guarentee Lindsey Lohan's irresponsible comments and example will result in one family burying a young girl who thought that "just a few more pounds" wouldn't hurt.
Thanks, Linsey, for yet another great example of what girls need to grow up thinking.
We need more Mia Hamms...more Kathy Irelands...more Serena Williamses...more women who demonstrate that women can weigh over 100 pouinds, be healthy, and still look good.

Tougher Laws for Crimes Against Children
In a great move by a conservative Governor, there is now a tougher penalty against child molesters. Thus, we now have to wait for someone like Judge Greer to veto the law because it is unconstitutional.
Think I am kidding?
I know other states have this sort of GPS tracking, but only under temporary circumstances during probation. This would be the first time anyone would be monitored for life.
First, I think ANYONE...ANYONE...who is convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt of molesting, sexually abusing, or raping a child should be locked up for life without parole. There is no excuse or reason for hurting a child. I think that these cardinals and priests who molested these kids should be defrocked, I think thats the term, and thrown in jail. NO ONE should be allowed to lead anything like a normal life after hurting a child like that.
However, life sentences for child molesters would not fly thanks to people like NAMBLA and the ACLU. So, then, let's compromise.
A lifetime of being tracked by GPS. Which is more than fair, I think. I think its really unfair that a child will forever be hurt and damaged by what this person did, yet they have the chance to walk free...the only reprecussion is some time in jail and then a little implant to follow you. I think that is more than fair and more than provides a second chance.
But, I am going to sit and wait for this idea of lifetime GPS tracking to be questioned in court. Will a liberal judge allow this law to stand? Liberal fought tooth and nail against registering sex offenders in the first place. You know, the same people obsessed with labels we against labeling the sickos that rape and murder innocents. Yeah. So you think they will be all for monitoring someone? ACLU to the rescue...its only a matter of time.
Liberals live and die to protect the world's criminals and refuse to protect the innocent. People like the ACLU will not allow a criminal to be implanted with a permanent tracking device. They will protect the liberties of scum like John E. Couey no matter the cost. Think I am full of crap??
Ask Jessica Lundsford. Ask Sarah Lunde. Or, in another case where the rights of the victim were thrashed by ACLU lawyers, try to ask Terri Schiavo about protection of the innocent...oops, you can't, can you.
But, let me stop being negative for a second.
Congratulations to Jeb Bush for getting this thing done and done immediately. Thanks to the men and women in the Florida legislature for getting it done.
Thank you, Jessica and Sarah for sacrificing, although unwillingly, your lives so that other little girls can live...so long as stricter laws continue to be passed to stop scum like Couey back on the streets.
