Vote for me for President!

In all of the campaigning that is going on it still seems the politicians have missed the point.

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is the official language, speak it or wait at the border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Walmart' policy 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade. There will be no more 'hand outs' for an extended period of time. If you state you cannot find a job we will find one for you, not provide one. The job might not be to your liking, but that's the breaks.
(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life. Actually, I feel the government has no business in the sports arena, but since they seem to want to make a dog and pony show out of everything, let's just nip it in the bud right away.
(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There are no more life sentences, if convicted you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim, gun, knife, strangulation, etc. For sexual predators and rapists, since sex is your thing...we'll just set you up with a very large and horny male baboon. You will be duct taped between 2 posts, he won't.
(9) One export will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
(13) The elected officials will be graded by 'the people' and any raises or increase in benefits will be given as deemed fit by 'the people'. Afterall, the Constitution states they work for us, therefore 'we the people' ultimately control the monies. If you do not show up for work or are nonproductive, your position will be terminated.
(14) All elected officials will have term limits. This should help get rid of some of the dead wood before they can do too much damage.
(15) There will no longer be hyphenated Americans. If you are here and a legal citizen, you are an American. If you have come from another country and have chosen to become a citizen, you are now an American. You are not an African-American, nor an Irish-American...Italian-American...German-American...Mexican-American, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get. Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.

God Bless America

Senseless Crime

I have just finished watching an interview on FOX news, an interview that made me extremely sad, but more angry than ever. Danielle Bologna of San Francisco, has just lost her husband and 2 sons. They were on their way home from a family picnic, when at an intersection they stopped and backed up to allow another car access to the road. This evidently angered another person at that intersection. Road rage that ended the lives of these 3 people by gun fire.

It was not the gun that killed these family members, so don't even go there about the 2ND Amendment. It was the person doing the shooting: Edwin Ramos, an ILLEGAL from El Salvador. An ILLEGAL who as a juvenile was arrested on 2 felonies; a gang assault and the robbery of a pregnant woman. He was also arrested this past March on another charge...I am not sure what that was so will not speculate...but my guess it was not jay walking.

What is his gang affiliation? MS 13. What is MS 13? It is one of the most violent gangs in the US. It is made up of mainly ILLEGALS and I believe was been brought here by ILLEGALS from Mexico. These people do not stop at anything.They will kill for the thrill of the kill. They will torture and kill women and children if it so suits them. There is no remorse. These kills are no more than another notch in their belt, a trophy.

San Francisco is a sanctuary city, giving aid and used as a hiding place for ILLEGALS. There, and in other sanctuary cities in this country, they know they have a safe haven; a place to commit their crimes where they know they will not be turned over to the Feds, ICE...or anyone. They not only have a safe place, but are guaranteed a place where they are given all the advantages of an American citizen...at the tax payers expense. After all, they are just poor people trying to achieve the 'American Dream'.

I can only feel that had this ILLEGAL been turned over to the Feds, deported ( although he probably would have just come back over the border because heaven help us if we do ANYTHING to stop THAT little crime!) these 3 people would still be alive today. This family would not have been torn apart and this woman would not be burying her husband and 2 sons.

Therefore, as I am NOT 'PC' and will NEVER be so...San Francisco and Mayor Newsom...MAY YOU ALL GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. Take yourself and the rest of your liberal left, tree hugging, Birkenstock wearing, organic-soy-cappuccino-drinking, ILLEGAL loving citizens with you. Please go and find yourself an island somewhere, take all of the ILLEGALS with you and may you all live happily ever after. Basically Mayor Newsom, you and yours are idiots. This is what your stupidity has gotten you. I can only hope this comes back to bite you in the ass really, really bad. I hope this never goes away for you. I hope the family of the 3 murdered camp out on your doorstep and harass your ass until you cannot stand it another moment. May their hell be yours, also.

I pray the citizens in San Francisco who have some brains left in their heads and the people in this country, take serious notice of this event. It is time the FEDS start by stopping the federal funding of ANYTHING to this city and to every sanctuary city. If you as a sanctuary city want to harbor ILLEGALS, deal with the crimes they commit and foot the bill for their medical care, education, housing, etc...knock yourselves out. You will do it with your own monies. THEN...maybe those who choose to do so should be arrested and convicted for the crimes they so commit.

My heart and prayers go out to the Bologna family.

To Water, or NOT to Water?

I have heard it stated that a democracy as a permanent form of government will continue to exist up until the time the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. As soon as this is discovered, the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, will be voted in almost every time. This in turn will result in the failure of that democracy, it will collapse under it's own burden due to loose fiscal policy. This is usually always followed by a dictatorship and occurs around the said democracy's 200th birthday. During those 200 years, the democracy will usually grow through various stages of developement.

1. From bondage to spiritual faith.
2. From spiritual faith to great courage.
3. From courage to liberty.
4. From liberty to abundance.
5. From abundance to complacency.
6. From complacency to apathy.
7. From apathy to dependence.
8. From dependence back into bondage.

I am feeling right now we, as a democracy, are definitely at #7 and teetering on the fence ready to fall over to # 8. The grass is greener on the other side, if we listen to Sen. Obama and the Liberal side. . We will all be taken care of by the government, as if we no longer have the sense or ability to take care of ourselves. Is that grass going to be greener, or will we find this, on the other side; brown and brittle grass with occasional patches of green grass that the Libs say must exist for all. We will have patches of green being watered by 'stand up, taxpaying citizens' so the multitudes will be able to graze at will. Afterall, the Libs have stated that if elected...those of us who have will have to give up to basically 'even the playing field'. The "fence", (I am still waiting for the border ones, but I am sure this will get built first!) will be patrolled by Liberal politicians and special interest groups.

Give a person the means and knowledge to plant their own garden and they can feed themselves. Do it for them, they will eat and you will be overworked!

There will be no going back for those of us who tire of holding the watering hose. No going back, unless we choose NOT to pick up the hose and start watering!

Be Prepared

From 58 different counties in Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska, a group of Boy Scouts gathered in Iowa this week at The Little Sioux Scout Camp for special preparedness training. These boys are considered the 'cream of the crop'. Little did they know the training they received the day prior would so suddenly come into play as a reality.



With little to no warning, these 100 scouts and their leaders were struck by a tornado. The devastation left 38 wounded and 4 dead. Had it not been for the disaster training they were provided with the day prior, the numbers could have been higher. Ranging in ages 13-18, these scouts stepped up and took charge. There was no whining or waiting for someone else to come and take care of them. They helped each other, gave first aid and comfort.

Others could take a lesson from all of this. For instance, the Katrina 'victims'. There was plenty of warning to evacuate New Orleans. Unfortunately the government in New Orleans and LA did not take heed. It appears that without the push of the 'powers that be' to tell people to leave and leave now, they waited for someone to do it for them. Were they waiting to be led by the hand away from disaster? Were they in denial? Was it more exciting to stupidly party and wait it out? Did many just not have transportation available to go? In that case of the latter, put THAT blame of the mayor of New Orleans. If you do not believe it, just remember the many, many school busses that had been available to transport people from danger but were last seen sitting in or under water. Whatever the reason, they were warned and many chose NOT to do anything.

Now, 3 years later we still hear the whining and complaining from these people. Instead of taking the matters into their own hands they have continued to live in FEMA housing and complain about that. They continue to live off the handouts of entitlement programs, many not working or even attempting to look for work. Many squandered their Red Cross and FEMA money on new cars, big TV's, stereo systems, expensive clothes. Now, you might find me harsh with these statements, but unless you were there after Katrina and during Rita as I was..you need to shut up. Granted, not all of the refugees did this. I saw many who took their money and were able to then find their way to family in other parts of the country. Some already had found jobs and used that money to get their families out of the shelters and into their own apartment or house.

Then there are the rest,the ones who will forever live on the handouts if we continue to provide them. They need to take a lesson from these scouts and from other sections of the country where tornadoes and floods have devastated many families. These people have immediately taken action to start cleaning up the mess and planning for their future....while waiting for help.

Thank GOD for these scouts. They are our potential leaders. The whiners in this country need to sit up and take notice. Congress could take a lesson from them. Lord knows, those people could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag with instructions and help.

Our prayers go out to all of the families, to the scouts and their leaders. We pray for those who were not so fortunate to survive: Aaron Eilerts, 14..Josh Fennen, 13...Sam Thomsen, 13...Ben Petrzil, 14.

Warriors

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill

A very dear friend of mine steered me to a site; www.warriorsthe film.com and being the sucker I am for most anything military I will now have to purchase some of these CDs to send to my adopted soldiers. Of course I will need one and the book also. If I get many more books on my shelf 'to read' I am going to turn into a library. I must feel if I do not get it as soon as I see it I will never find it again, hence the ever mounting pile.

The above stated site itself is not that large with the trailer of the CD leaving one wanting to see more. I was much inspired by listening to the soldiers speak so humbly, yet passionately, about their service.

A warrior is fearless, willing to serve their country and fellow countrymen with a dedication and passion that outshines most of us. Warriors serve their country without being called to do so. They serve out of their love for their country and are willing to do and sacrifice whatever it takes to accomplish the mission. For them, to accomplish and complete their mission is greater than their own being. Walking away from the mission, not coming to the end product is not something they find acceptable.

While many of us sit here at home, comfortable in front of our TV sets listening and consuming what the news wants us to hear, the warriors are the ones who know the sacrifice required for us to maintain our freedom as we know it. The warriors understand the USA is seen as a beacon of light by many other countries, even if many of us do not feel so. After all, we are merely sitting here watching TV, they are fighting the battle. They are on the front lines fighting or in the streets, hospitals, schools helping to teach those who have been suppressed for so long. These people have never known freedom and are now struggling to come to grips with how to handle what is now within their reach.

Warriors know it comes down to 'balls to the walls...just go'. Do the rest of us understand?

Remember our military past and present this Memorial Day. May GOD be with all of them and keep them safe.

'O'h...for Oil

While $4/gal sounds bad for gas, and it is there already in some parts of the country, just wait until it goes to $5, $6, $7 or more. On May 13, the Senate defeated a bill to drill ANWR. It was put through the Senate as an amendment (S. Amndt 4720) attached to another bill, S. 2284-the Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2007. I can see where the two would go 'together'. When this was voted on in the Senate, all of the Democrats voted against the bill with the exception of one, Sen. Mary Landrieu , D-LA. Five Republicans voted against, also. There were others who did not vote at all. I am not sure if they just chose not to commit to either side, grow some balls here people...or if they were simply NOT at work that day. Democratic 'nays' came from my own two senators, Kohl and surprise..Feingold. That is a shock...right! Others I tend to watch...Durbin, Obama, Clinton, the Kenedy's, Kerry, Byrd, etc....all voted 'nay'. Then of course we have the conservative in liberal clothing, McCain, who was a 'not voting'. Guess he was out campaigning, and I figure if you are still employed as a senator on my dime, you better show up for work!


Since then we have had the polar bear placed on the 'Threatened Species' list. Not endangered...just threatened....evidently because of melting ice. Now, there are currently record numbers of Polar Bears out there. In the 1950-1960's the numbers ranged from 5,000-10,000. Currently they number 20,000-25,000, with 11 of the 13 bear populations stable and some increasing according to Canadian scientists. This is all comng down to the whole Global Warming alarm. Thank you, Al.


Now, I by no means have a dislike for polar bears. Aren't they cute as cubs, and won't they rip you to pieces as adults. But, if we continue to NOT be able to drill for the oil we so desperately need to keep this country running, well, sorry...when it comes down to the polar bear or the survival of this country the polar bear rates a 2ND spot on my list. This also applies to NOT drilling off our coast line because somebody with ocean front property will have their view spoiled. It appears the 'rigs' are rather far out there so these people must have unbelievable eye sight. I guess 'unbelievable' being the key work here.


We are a country that uses alot of oil. Not all of it ends up in our gas tank. There are numerous products we use on a daily basis that are derived from oil. If anyone in this country really believes the OPEC nations are going to either produce more oil or lower the costs, think again. (If you still believe that then I have some ocean front property in AZ to sell you. Well, that might come true some day when CA falls off into the ocean and after their Supreme Court ruling to allow gay marriages...may it fall off soon.) Evidently Saudi Arabia does not feel there is an increase in demand for them to produce more oil. Either that is true, or they have us right where they want us and that is by the balls...the ones our government does not appear to possess. Even with other countries exploding with the numbers of cars on their roads, China for one, it is still said the demand is not there. Oil needs to increase in supply or decrease in demand for the price to go down.


Until the government gets it's nose out of the oil business, starts to allow exploration and drilling of new sites either in ANWR or off our coasts........and the tree huggers are duct taped in a closet somewhere...we are pretty much screwed. We cannot have it both ways.

For the Biker

This I received from Missy...a cyberspace friend I have met through Soldiers Angels. She lives in VA. All of the below....true.

I guess if I want to consider myself a 'biker'..then I will say I have done rides to raise money for muscular dystrophy, breast cancer, children with cancer, and many others. 'Poker runs' frequently get organized to raise money for someone who is ill, injured or who has lost a family member...spouse, child. Many times 'the hat' has been passed at our local HOG chapter meeting to help out an employee/chapter member who is ill or injured, or their surviving family members, or maybe the neighbor child of a member. Have you ever seen that group of riders..thousands... who participate in the USMC "Toys for Tots' run? The list could go on and on. So, before you turn your nose up at us, remember what you just read. Someday the hat might just be passed for you or your child.

The days of 'Hell's Angels' are pretty much gone, I think. We don't always need a reason to ride, sometimes it just makes the ride sweeter.

Connie


For the sister of a man who was killed on a bike because of someone else's carelessness, this is especially poingant. My brother was a trained French Chef. He was one of the founders of Baltimore's Ugliest Bartender Contest - which raises money for Children's Charities, he rode for various Children's Causes. He spoke three languages. He was a loving and devoted son, brother, uncle and friend. He supported the troops before it was popular to do so. He rode a Kawasaki Verago. He was killed on Sept. 2nd, 1985 in Waldorf, Md. because someone wanted to save some money and didn't properly light a tow truck. His headlight picked up the truck and he laid the bike down to avoid it, but could not clear the boom. At the traffic trial of the man involved (whom I have forgiven), a Maryland State Trooper said, in my hearing, "All this fuss for a G*d Damned Biker." I have not forgiven the Trooper yet. You may include this in your forward, if you would like. His name was Greg. I still miss him. Missy


THE BIKER

I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection outside the store as I walked in.

I saw you; pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant. But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you , roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But, you didn't see me, riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather jackets and gloves. But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.

I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart.

I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. but, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain. But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you, go home to your family. But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But, you didn't see me.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE US, RESPECT OUR RIGHTS TO RIDE WHAT WE CHOOSE AND TAKE A FEW EXTRA SECONDS TO BE SURE WE'RE NOT IN 'YOUR' WAY.

LIVE TO RIDE . . . RIDE TO LIVE
