I need a Sledge Hammer

When are people in this country going to wake up. Seriously. It is getting to be very frustrating dealing with people who do not even understand the concept of freedom.

Sure you have the freedom to give up your freedom. But why would you do it? Sure you can blame president Bush for the stupid Patriot Act but why do you vote for others who tell you to your face they will take away your freedom and limit your choice?

Does anyone stop and think any more? Do you really understand the meaning of hypocrisy. Seriously.

I run into people all the time who are aghast that I do not support Barrack Obama. When I ask them to tell me why they are supporting him no body can tell me outside of the sound bites why they support him.

He will bring change, they say. Bill Clinton promised the same kind of change but other than redefining the meaning of sex, what change did he bring? And of that change, if there was any, did you like it? The answer is usually no they did not like the change Bill Clinton brought about.

So many people don't have health care. So I ask do you like the government telling you what to do in any aspect of your life? They usually answer no. So why then would you want the government to tell you when and where you could get your health care? They wouldn't, they admit. So why vote for someone who says he or she is going to take over the health care system? They wouldn't they say. But you will vote for Obama? Yes, they say. I want to bash my head with a hammer at this point.

Do you like being taxed, I ask. Well, no, they reply. Do you think you pay too much in taxes, I ask. Usually they reply with a resounding yes. So why would you support someone who says to your face he is going to raise your taxes? But he represents change they say. The kind of change you want then, I reply. Not exactly they say.

Where is that hammer?

You probably want out of Iraq. But should would bail out as soon as possible even if it means leaving the Iraqi people in an insecure position? Well that would not be right, they say. Oh, so the people of Iraq deserve freedom and they deserve to be able to live in peace then? Well everyone on the planet deserves to live in peace, they reply. Then taking out the troops now and ending that peace and leaving the people of Iraq to the terrorist and the evils of Iran is OK then. Well, no they respond with concern in their voice. So Obama wants to get out now and do just that, should you still support him? Well yes, they say. They use that word change again.

I need a huge hammer.

So you don't agree with Obama on taxes, health care, your freedom, the battle for Iraq yet you still support him? I am sorry but I just don't understand why you would?

Well he is so eloquent in his speech. He is good looking and he is black.

Huh?

I tell them about some of his gaffs only I lie and say George Bush said those things and they say, he is an idiot and needs to be impeached. Then I correct myself and say (and prove) that Obama said those things and they still don't believe. I tell them where they can hear him and see him say those things (57 states) and they still think he is a brilliant man.

How can you say he is brilliant when you just said George Bush is an idiot for saying the same thing even thought GW didn't actually say those things? Um is their response.

Obama is only half black and he is half white and his father was not a slave descendant. I am part black and I am descended from slaves. Would I be a better president? No, they reply, you are not a democrat.

OK, I know have a sledge hammer.

Are we really this dumb as a nation?

I think one good whack with an 8lb sledge will put me out of my misery.

Im Right on Obama. Prove Im Wrong

I was taking the entire summer off. But this Obama thing has really got me in a tizzy to coin an old fashioned term. I am still waiting for someone...anyone to tell me exactly why they support this man for President of the United States of America.

All I can get in reply is sound bites. “He will change things.” “He will end the war (battle) of Iraq.” “He will make the world love us again since GW has the world hating us.” I ask how he plans on doing this and people actually get mad at me.

They call me a racist. Then I have to point out to them I am a black man so by their own definition I cannot be a racist. Then they call me a Bush lover and I point out how many things I disagree with GW on including most of the Patriot Act.

Then they claim I am just blind and stupid and I have to point out that I know that there only 50 States in our Union not 57 as Obama has once claimed. So that leaves me with the burning question. What does this guy stand for? What do his supporters know about him and why the hell do they support him.

Lets face it. This guys is a racist. He hates half of himself. Yes people, he is not a “Black” man. He is half white. His mother is ALL white. That makes him HALF white and HALF black. He is also not a descendant of slaves as most blacks in this country are. He grew up in a rather privileged life. By that token, since I am the son of a career military man, I also did not really grow up in the inner city. Although I have spent a few years of my life living in a city called Buffalo, NY. I attended public school number 31 in that city for part of my 1^st and 4^th grade and all of my 8^th grade years. Do I know what its like to live and play and be scared in such an environment? Yes I do.

Barry has not had to deal with such things. Yet he will run around and tell Europe that our country has never been represented by someone who looks like him before. What about Secretary Powell and Secretary Rice? I guess they are not “black” enough. But then I would argue that those two Americans are more black than Barry.

What about the men and women of our military who are black? They represent our nation. And I am certain that most of them are far more black than Obama. In fact many of them come from the inner city.

Plus I have this issue with Barry making all kinds of simple mistakes. These exact same mistakes have labeled President Bush as an idiot. Yet Liberals still view Barry as brilliant. They make excuses for him like he has had little sleep. What the hell do you think the President does? You think he gets 10 hours of sleep every night?

Hell no. Being president is one tough job. Look at all the men who enter the office with full un-gray hair and leave 4 or 8 years later almost white haired. Its a tough job and you often get very little if any sleep. If this guy makes these kinds of mistakes while only on the campaign trail, what kind of really important mistakes will he make while sitting in the Oval Office?

Right now we take pot shots at his mistakes. But once he is in office, people will die for mistakes like that. This is serious folks. You have to think about the people of this country. You have to think about the two candidates realistically. No McCain is not an ideal candidate but we now have to go for the lesser of two evils.

Sorry to say that at this juncture it is McCain that is the lesser of two evils. Worse yet is that compared to Obama, McCain is a total Saint.

Oh, and I can say all this about Barry because I am black. I also am part Native American so I can speak for them as well. They don't want Barry in the White House either. Blacks only support him because he is black but he is not like them. And they lack the knowledge of history of the Democrat party as the racist pigs they truly are. Doubt me, then who blocked civil rights for over 100 years? The Democrat party.

I am more qualified to be president than Obama. And I am sorely under qualified. So where does that put him? You think I am wrong? Then tell me specifically why I am wrong. I dare you. I know you can't because you know I am right.

The Great Lie Machine Never Gives Up

The Clinton Machine does not know defeat. OK, it may know defeat but it does not know quit. It has never quit. Remember all those years ago at the Democrat National Convention when Bill gave a keynote address that lasted forever? They cheered when he was done.

Did Bill run off and hide? No he learned from his mistake and continued on and eventually became President. No Hillary is faced with a defeat but she just won't quit. She won't give up.

This surprises who? Not me. This is a bunch of people who never have given up on anything. They tried to nationalize health care back in the 90's. It didn't go over very well with the American public back then.

But guess what is front and center on the political landscape this year? Guess what people are beginning to be willing to give to the government now? Their health care. And they are screaming for it. Those same people bemoaned about Hillary back in the early 90's are now praising her and Obama for having the “guts” to take on the medical and health care industry in order to “give” them health care.

This is not the only thing the Clinton Machine wants to take over. They will not give up until they have gotten what they came to Washington to take. Yes, I said take. Because nobody is giving anything over to them. The Clinton's take. They take by lying to the American people.

The Clinton's take by falsifying the facts. They tell a lie so often that people begin to believe it is true. They steel you freedom by telling you over and over again that they know how best to bring relief to you.

They lie to you by telling you that the mortgage mess is all the fault of greedy bankers. They lie to you by telling you that American oil companies control the price of oil all over the world and that they are gouging you at the gas pump.

They lie to you by telling you that bio fuels such at that made from corn will solve our oil problems. They lie to you by telling you that “Global Warming” will kill billions of people in 30 years if we don't do something about it today. Yes Carvil said Billions of people will die in 30 to 40 years if we don't stop GW today.

They lie to you by telling you over and over again that only the government can handle the massive health care crisis even though the government has made a mess of it with Medicare, Medicaid and the VA. But they lie to you and tell you that your health care will be different.

They lie to you by telling you that terrorism is our fault and that George Bush started the whole thing. They lie to you by telling you that 9/11 was President G Bush II's fault not Bill Clinton's. They keep the lie machine in action 365 days in a year. This year they have an extra day to keep that machine in action.

They lie to you by telling you that this President is the biggest threat to the Constitution in our history all the while ignoring their own agenda that takes your rights away. Ignoring two World Wars that if we lost would mean the total elimination of our way of life. Ignoring the fact that the old Soviet Union had a goal of eliminating the United States of America.

They lie to us every chance they get. The sad part is that Americans are beginning to believe the lies. No my friends, the Clinton Machine never gives up. It has done more to advance the cause of Liberals in the past 15 years than any other Democrat or Liberal ever has. They have a powerful machine that runs like clockwork and the press and now the American people are falling for the lies. They spout off sound bites as gospel.

The greatest threat to our freedom and liberty continues to be the Clinton Liberal Machine. Even is she does not occupy the White House this go around, do not ever count her or him out. They will not give up until they beat you and me down, twist our arms until we say uncle. Uncle Billary Sam.

Corn, Not the New Fuel We Hoped For. $4 Gas Doesn't Have To Happen in America

There was a news conference today. The President of the United States talked with the press. I am continually amazed at how liberals think this man is such an idiot. Granted he is not an eloquent speaker. But then again, the liberal Mayor of Boston, MA is far worse than George Bush ever could be.

But that is not what this post is about. The interesting thing is what President Bush said at this press conference. He talked about how the economy is not dead and how it probably wont fall into a recession. He also talked about our dependence on foreign oil. He ran rings around the press asking the questions today.

But the most interesting thing he talked about was the price of gas and why it was going up. Something the liberal media does not want to get. Big oil in this country does not control the price of crude oil. He talked about how the US could avoid having to pay $4 a gallon at the pump. He talked about alternative fuels and how the US is a leader in the research of alternative fuels. He also nailed something that most people don't get.

President Bush talked about the hidden danger of turning corn into fuel. You see corn is the base food for life on this planet. Humans eat corn directly and indirectly. What do I mean by indirectly? Well, food animals also eat corn. I am talking cows, pigs, chickens, lamb, etc. all eat corn as well. So when the price of corn rises it increases the cost of feeding live stock. Not to mention the fact that products that contain corn for human consumption also rise.

So you see our entire food chain is heavily dependent on corn. So you increase the demand for corn and the price goes up. Simply the result of supply and demand. This also has another problem attached to it. Because corn is in demand and it's value is on the rise, this makes it a commodity that people want to get in on.

Farmers are dropping other crops for the more profitable corn crop. Can you blame them? Farmers are business people after all. They need to make a living. They have people who work for them that must be paid. Farmers have debt they have to pay off. So if they decide that corn will earn them more per acre than wheat or barley or strawberries, then they will make the switch.

This switch reduces the food that we as humans have available to us. So you see our own liberal environmentalist wacko policies are forcing prices to rise all over. We have an oil policy that is in the toilet. President Bush made it clear that we need to build new oil refineries. He has proposed using old, close military bases to do such a thing. The Democrat congress has shot that idea down. Why?

Other countries are drilling off the their coast and in the Gulf of Mexico so why can't we. Liberal environmentalist prevent us from doing so. Why?

We have technology that allows us to drill almost horizontally so that means that oil drill sites are much smaller than they used to be. So we could drill in Alaska yet not need to be in the middle of the oil fields to do it. We could be on the edge of them and drill sideways. But we still can't do that because of environmentalist. Why?

We have wind turbine technology that is very efficient today. We could build wind farms to harness the clean power of the wind. But environmentalist stop them from being built. Why?

We know that bio fuel produced by corn does not have the same thermal factor as oil fuel. What that means is that you don't get the same gas mileage with bio fuels as you do with oil fuels. So your car that gets say 35 miles per gallon on gas will get only 30 miles per gallon or less on bio fuels and bio fuel blends. So it will take more fuel to go the same distance than with straight gas.
So why do we think this is a good idea? Why?

High taxes, the wrong kind of energy policy, high food cost due to the wrong energy policy is all contributing to that famed $4 per gallon gasoline cost that Americans may be faced with by the time the Summer of 2008 arrives.

How do we stop this madness? Get on Congress to stop pandering and start doing something that is real and meaningful. Drill in Anwar. Drill in the Gulf. Build wind turbines. Build nuclear power plants. Build new and more advanced oil refineries. Invest in other alternative fuels other than bio fuels made from corn.

Yes, America can be independent in its energy needs but we have to get the Liberals, the Democrats and the Environmentalist out of the way. We have to demand this. We have to insist on this.

In the mean time, President Bush can continue to run rings around those who think he is nothing but a big time Texas Idiot.

Security is coming for the Southern Border - of Mexico

OK, at first I thought this story was just not true. Then I did some digging. What I dug up was totally confounding and upsetting. I cannot believe that President Bush would even propose this or that anyone in Washington D.C. would even seriously consider it.

Rush Limbaugh was on this a few days ago.



Rush is not the only one on this. There are a number of reports and stories on this issue which leaves me to ask a simple question. Why isn't the main stream media on this story? Could it be that they don't want you, the American public to know? Of course that is their goal but some of their lesser outlets like those below, are spilling the beans.

This is not a conservative idea. We need to be spending that money on securing OUR Southern border with Mexico. Hell, we know where all those Central American illegals are going. They are not staying in Mexico for long. They are just passing through because they are heading for our southern border and will end up in our southern states and then the rest of the country.

We need to secure our borders now.

Battle in Iraq, a position paper

The War in Iraq.

First we need to get one thing straight. It is not the “War” in Iraq. That is like saying it was the War of the Bulge. That is wrong because it misses the big picture. It is the “Battle” of Iraq. Its the War on Terror.

The main stream press has made this battle seem like a stand alone war. That misses the big picture. Iraq is a part of the whole war on terror. Even the White House mentions it wrongly on numerous occasions.

If you notice we don't call it the War in Afghanistan. The main stream press calls it a conflict or battle. Why then do they make a distinction with Iraq? Simple, its because the left does not want you, the general public, to see the correlation between Iraq and the war on terror.

The left fails to tell you about how much a ruthless dictator Saddam Hussein was. They forget to mention that this man killed thousands of his own people using weapons of mass destruction. They forget to tell you about how Saddam sponsored terrorism. They forget to tell you that Saddam offered to pay the families of suicide bombers in Israel. They forget to tell you that Saddam ignored nearly all of the United Nations resolutions that he agreed to at the end of Desert Storm.

You also hear the Democrat presidential candidates talk about pulling out of Iraq. They talk about how they would “end the War in Iraq”. The problem is that they know there is no war there. Its a battle within the war on terror. They also know that they cannot pull all troops out of there any time soon or they will create a vacuum that would be filled by just about every radical Islamist in the world.

They also fail to tell the American people that pulling out of Iraq does not mean pulling all troops out of the Middle East.

Here is the truth about the War on Terror and the Middle East. We, the USA, cannot pull out of those nations in the middle east. No President will pull out all troops out of Iraq when they take office and for good reason. They also know that the threat to the American people here and abroad remains great and that pulling out as the radicals demand, would in no way reduce the danger to our nation and its citizens abroad.

Look at Spain. They pulled out yet still suffer attacks from Islamist. England has announced its pullout and reduced its troops to the bear minimum yet they still are targets for attacks. This is not a war for oil. We can see that by the price at the pump and in our home heating oil tanks. We have fuel bills that are the highest they have ever been. Hardly a war for oil.

This is not a touchy featly thing that will just go away because we want the world to love us again. The United States is loved the world over by the people of the world. Yes world governments may not like us so much but that is for a number of reasons including just plain old jealousy. The people of the world still risk life and limb to get into this country legally and illegally. You don't find so many people trying to get into any other nation as much or as often as they do in the USA.

In short, there is no pull out in the near future for our troops. It is not the USA that needs to work to be liked. It is the radicals that need to accept our right to live on this planet in peace and if they do not accept that basic fact, we should respond in a way that they understand even if that means occupation of some other nations.
This is a world wide threat. No nation is safe so long as these radicals roam free to reek havoc on innocent people. As long as our armed forces engage the enemy on their turf, the chance of them being able to successfully hit us on our own soil is less.

That is what this War on Terror is all about. Our safety. Indeed, its about our very survival. Simple. Logical. The right thing to do for you and your children.
