The Government vs The People, you decide!

Here we are, waiting for President Obama to give his first State of the Union speech, and I expect it to be another of his me, me, me, lectures, about how he and the Government can solve or have already solved all of our problems but we are just too stupid to notice it. If I hear him blame President Bush one more time my head is going to explode!

The government is not the answer it is the problem, only President Reagan said it, and it is the truth, and the people are finally standing up and putting their votes where their mouths are! Look at what Massachusetts did, talk about a slap in the face! I bet ole Teddy is rolling in his grave! He and the rest of the progressive liberals just knew this was the way to government control, but even the people of the most liberal state in the union have said that is enough!

I expect to hear Obama talk about how wonderful he is, and how much the American people suck, and how he will fix everything no matter how bad Bush screwed it up! Of course he is going to seem to move more to the center, but it will all be lies, just as usual. This year is going to be an upsetting time for those socialist bastards that want to take us over and ruin our way of life, because now that our eyes have been opened, we shall vote them out, each and every one of them! Regardless of what lies Obama spews tonight, We The People, will overcome!

Pay close attention to what the “Chosen One” says,  it will be nothing but a regurgitation of the same crap the progressives always spew! His spending freeze is a joke, he increased the spending, and now wants to lock it in so it cannot be cut! Obama talks out of both sides of his neck, the progressives will stand up and cheer, but the rest of us should see through the lies, it is nothing but a bunch of crap! Just another way to try to take over the country and turn us into something we are not and do not want to be! Who do you want to be in control, We the People, or, the Government?

How did America get so Politically Correct?

Can anyone tell me, exactly when did this whole political correctness mess get started? Who started it? Why was it even considered, much less enforced? I am going to guess here, but I have a feeling it got started in the seventies, just after the “civil rights” era, during that time that everyone was feeling guilty. Now, don’t get me wrong, the white man was guilty of a lot of things back then, hey, you should have heard the way people used to speak back then, I was 8 years old in 1970, I heard it.  I didn’t understand that the use of certain, now forbidden, words, could possibly be a bad thing, after all, I also grew up hearing “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”, so, somehow, I missed the whole thing!

Since this ‘politically correct’ movement took hold, things have changed! I can see where it is not nice to use certain words, but, I grew up being taught that it was the feeling behind the words that was wrong, not the words themselves, after all, sticks and stones…. Anyway, do you get my point?

Today, almost 40 years later, things have really changed! Now, it is alright for any race to use “white” in a duragatory manner, when referring to race, but it is not alright for a white guy to use any term that can be construed to be “hate” speach when referring to race, and God forbid, if you are a hetero-sexual white guy, you just cannot say anything at all about anything or you get called a bigot!  By the way, when have you ever heard that word to describe anyone, other than a white guy? here is what the dictionary says;

One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

Based on this definition of bigot, I have to admit, I am one! Yes, and my group is, “human beings”, yeah, aliens (yeah, like non-humans, from another planet!) suck! You know, they are green, purple or some other color, have tenticles, they dress funny and they smell bad! (based on movies like men in Black) Can you see where I am headed?

How many generations will go by, before it is no longer politically correct to say what I have just written? Surely, some alien is going to show up and be offended!  If I say, “you stupid, green, smelly son of a female dog”, referring to a ‘non-human’ alien, there is no one here to take offense, and I am sure that unless they conquer us, thus proving real hate, there will be many that say even worse, think about this, and should this ever happen, how long before the PC police ban the use of the word alien altogether? Will we humans, be subjected to a one way restriction on “hate” speech, like us hetero white guys are now? Have you noticed, I am having to qualify the word alien with ‘non-human’, when I use this word? How far will the PC police go?

Here we are in 2009 and I am writing this, if such a concept could have ever even been imaginable, what would the people a few hundred years ago have written? I know that my father’s generation never saw it coming!

Here is where my whole point comes out, are you familiar with Perez Hilton? You know, that gay (no, not happy) guy, that called Miss California several not nice words, I guess I should say ex-Miss California. Funny, this guy, or gal, or whatever it is, somehow was put on a panel to judge a beauty contest, how would he, she, or it, even know what a beautiful woman was supposed to be like anyway? (I could have made this a lot shorter with just one little F word, couldnt I?)  Anyway, did you hear what happened? He, she. it. or whatever, called a dude from The Black eyed Peas a fag and got his ass kicked, or at least he, she, it says he. she, it, did.  I don’t know what started it, but I know this, if that Perez Hilton would have gotten into it with some people, he would have at least had a mark or two on his face while he cried on that video like a little girl that just had her pony tail yanked by a mean little boy in school! Maybe it was karma? I guess it was a really good thing he didn’t call him a white guy!

Personally, I agree with the ex-Miss California!

Somehow, I feel this Political Correctness crap has just gotten out of hand!

I just found a video on political correctness, I didn’t watch it, so, if it is something crazy, tough, complain to those that made it!

Wow, just watched it, I had to go find the other parts of this, they are found below.

I believe there are only three parts, so, here is the last one, enjoy!

Gun Control: What separates reality from fantasy and paranoia?

Gun control, a big issue, but, what separates reality from fantasy and paranoia? The shooting in Pittsburgh is but one of the first, I fear, that will have at least some basis in the belief that President Obama and his regime, will somehow find a way to circumvent the U.S. Constitution, and take our guns away. This is the paranoia.

Don’t get me wrong, what the guy in Pittsburgh did was wrong, how it got started, his mental stability, his job loss, and so on. all play a part in this, but, what does it prove?

Americans have very little confidence in the government, and fear that the Constitution is in jeapardy. This is a huge problem, and could trigger more of the “less stable” to snap!  President Obama and his henchmen, will, if they get a chance, limit our rights to “Keep and bear arms”, we all know it, but, it is these type of events that give them the “ammo” (pardon the pun), to get the population behind such an idea!  This is where the fantasy comes in, it is that the very group that wants to keep guns, doing stupid things, that the “other” side believes is reality, this guy has provided fuel for their fantasies of getting rid of guns! The fantasy, of the perfect Utopia with no guns.

My heart goes out to the families and friends of anyone harmed in what this guy did.  Maybe we can all learn from this? The state of our society is in panic, because so many of us believe that the very fabric of our founding, is going to be unraveled, one line of the Constitution at a time, do we need to start shooting at each other? NO!

What we need is to stand up, and speak out, get others like us involved in expressing that “We the People” want to keep our Constitution, and maybe, just maybe, some that are teetering on the edge of sanity, will not be able to use that fear as an excuse! People come in all shapes, and flavors, but we have one thing in common, we are all Americans, and we need to act like it! People get sick, people go crazy, we all have problems, but, we can not blame one mans problem on all other mens freedoms! (or womens)

“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.”

What will Obamas Socialist Plans Cost Us? Cap and Trade?

When Obama talks, people listen, or do they? So often, when Obamas lips are flapping, all he is doing is emitting hot air (talk about greenhouse gases)! Now we all know about his teleprompter, isn’t it time to start “hearing” what he is actually saying?

This video is perfect for what I am trying to say, why, because there is no video, it is just audio and a still picture! Why is this so perfect, you may be wondering, because you can read and listen at the same time!

If you notice, this was recorded way before he became President, he mentions that this could come up in the “general elections”, and basically was saying “hey, I can say whatever I want, I can tell you that your light bill is going to skyrocket, I can tell you that, because I can sell it” , if you weren’t paying attention then, maybe you will now!

Now to the issues:

What is “Cap and Trade”? This is a term used to define one of those “Green”  beliefs, that you put a cap, a limit, on the “greenhouse gas” emissions and trade by pushing a green agenda through, that will ultimately result in using less of what ever it was that they put the cap on!

Sticking with electricity production as the bad guy, the one that needs to be capped, what Obama wants to do, is make the power producers spend a ton of cash, or, go deep in debt, to create a “greener” method for this production, in other words, “lets make them (energy producers) spend so much, and pass on that debt, that Americans will go broke just trying to pay their light bill”! Hey, what population is going to rise up and defend itself from big government spending, and a dictatorial take over, if they can’t even pay their light bill?

The good news is, inthe long run, after all of the poor and old people have died off from exposure to heat and cold, the younger generations that survive, will be used to paying over 50 cents a KW (kilowatt) for electricity, and will have developed new technology that uses less energy! Can you see where this is headed?

Obama is not even considering the “now” all he is doing is planning for the society that may or may not survive!

I know this sounds a bit crazy, right now, but wait a few years, if it even takes that long. Think about this, what are you currently paying for a KW of electricity? Think about this one real good, remember when gas prices went from 15 cents a gallon to a dollar? I do! That was when I was a kid cutting grass, I got paid a quarter, bought a gallon of gas, a candy bar, and a soda! Then, I got my first truck, paid 35 cents a gallon to fill it up, the first time, the second time it was 75 cents a gallon, and the third was over a dollar! That is the way electricity will be!

Once Obama gets his “cap and trade” plans shoved down our throats, like he did, porkulus, and the other stuff, it will not take long! We all now that it costs money to produce electricity. It is a simple matter of converting one form of energy into another, be it coal, natural gas, or nuclear ( the clean one), which ever, that fuel and the technology to process it, is where the big changes will come.

What was it, about six years ago, I paid (In Houston, Texas) about 10 cents a KW (once all of the taxes and fees were added), to about 15 cents, that is when I moved up here to the sticks. A buddy of mine, in Houston, tells me that he is paying over 20 cents a KW now. Here, things went from about 6 or 7 cents per KW to over 10 cents per KW, during that same time. So, what happens next? Have you ever looked at a utility, phone, lights, gas, cable, what ever bill? See all of those little taxes and fees?

Once this “Cap and Trade” crap becomes a reality, that list of fees and taxes will definitely change, not to mention the rates themselves!

Follow this link, and you will see a list of “green” terms, one of them I will Illustrate as an example of how insane these “green” or “global warming” Al Gore freaks are!

Blacksurfing is surfing search engine results using an inverted palette, with white text on a black body. Shifting a high traffic website, like Google, from a white background to a black background can save substantial energy. An all-white web page uses about 74 watts to display on a CRT monitor as compared to an all-black page that uses only 59 watts. See Blackle, an energy-saving search engine that uses Google’s custom search. The efficacy of this practice is hotly debated, so be sure to consult Mark Ontkush’s post on the topic before you suggest using it. (ecoIron)

Once we allow the government to take over our lives, and control everything, it will be too late! This article is about just one of the many things that our government wants to do to us, “for our own good” because we are too stupid to see that we are being put under the control of a “socialist” system, at best, and I would hate to even think of what the worst could be, but, I can say this, there are a lot of similarities of what is happenning now, and what happened when Adolf  Hitler took over, and he was a very popular guy too! So, take action now, visit the912project.com and get involved, We the People are not alone, we can do something about this!

When is a good idea bad? We the People need Help!

This is a post I thought I would never write, but, after  a weekend of following the 912 Project very closely, participating and writing many a post myself, I can see where the whole idea went wrong! America is just way too divided!

Like it or not, all of us are different, way different, I mean how the heck do you think Obama got elected to begin with? I love the thought that we could all “get along”, but this does not seem to be the case. There are so many people, citing the very same things as a reason to disagree, what is that?

As terrible as this is going to sound, the differences are not at this point insignificant enough, for us all to get over ourselves! I know that I am an opinionated asshole, but I have found that I am way less of an asshole than many others out there! I honestly believe that in order for us all to get back to that 9/12 feeling, we are going to have to have another 9/11 event! The back-biting, name calling, and so on are absolutely unbearable, and I was not the one being attacked!

The one being attacked is, America, yes, our beloved country. Why do I say this? Because it is the very things that our country is about, our freedoms, our liberties, our laws, and our very way of life! Some just cannot move on, they have been taught that anything that does not sound like what they have heard in the past is wrong, “We the People” have become deaf! “We the People” have become, “We the Mob”!

Though most of the “idiots” belong to the same group, and their numbers are few, very few, like maybe 5 or 6 out of 190,198+ it is becoming obvious that we need help in this country. We need to all learn that right is right and wrong is wrong. I am so disappointed, I feel like I did that first time I got lied to by my first girlfriend. Glenn Beck didn’t let me down, my fellow Americans did. We truly are too didvided to get along!

These divisions include everything from rich vs poor to blue vs green! What would seem obvious to me, just seems like too much of a reach for others. Why can’t we all just get along? I fear that our country is headed for a really bad spot, maybe like once before. I am not worried that “my side” will lose, I am worried that “my country” will.

Watch this video, maybe it will inspire you, maybe it will make you mad, I just hope that it helps you see which side you are on!

Economy Problems: Mexico Scares Me! Look-out for Chavez!

As the entire world is having economic problems, what is next? Mexico has always been a “Third-World” country, but it is getting even worse, much worse, so what happens if the Mexican government completely collapses? You know how many people  are already coming here to get away and to make a living, if the entire thing down there goes bad, what will happen? Here is an article by Glenn Beck on FoxNews.com, “As Goes California, So Goes America”, read this for but one scenario, a very real situation, even if Mexico doesn’t fall apart.

Look at the events in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez has pretty much set himself up as dictator, and the idiots that live there voted for it! Hmm, reminds me a bit of our most recent Presidential election here! It just goes to show you, if you promise people something for nothing, they fall for it every time! What is really scary, and should give people even more reason to worry, is who Chavez’s friends are, look at the picture, Chavez and Ahmadinejad look pretty chummy!

I know why they are laughing, they are talking about how they and Obama are going to wreck the U.S. and take over the entire North American continent, like Canada would do anything. Ffirst it starts out socialism, then its communism! Why would any of that make Ahmadinejad happy? Simple, Chavez and Obama take the West, Putin takes Europe and Asia, and Ahmadinejad takes the Middle east and Africa! With America out of the way, since Obama is helping them, the disease of socialism can spread, the U.S. becomes a poor country, and then we are all here just wondering what happened! Funny thing is that nobody seems to know what is bad about socialism. You can’t blame Bush for that one!

Yes, that is a severely exaggerated opinion of but one possible scenario, and I pray to God that Obama is not going to let it go that far, but, my point is, It Could Happen! Remember  “Yes, We Can” and “Change You Can Believe In” and all of the rest? Americans were acting like the lemmings down there in Venezuela, I have to say, I am embarrassed, I am a Proud American, and to see where we are headed is a big dissappointment.

There always have been poor people and there always will be. The whole point of Free Markets and Capitalism is so that if you work hard enough you can make it to the top, way above the bottom, the whole point of Socialism is to make everybody the same, and, if you look at Venezuela, that means everybody but the Dictator is poor! Yes, Capitalism can also be described as “Survival of the Fittest”, people and businesses may fail, but, it is that opportunity to make it back to the top!

I heard an old German saying that translates to something like this; A man who makes a lot of mistakes, works hard, A man who makes no mistakes, is a lazy dog! How many mistakes have you made?

Left or Right, is it all about Perspective?

I think I am starting to understand what is wrong with people, yes, all of us, myself included. I am finding that it just depends on which side of the fence you live on, where you are in life, what you want out of life, and, what you are willing to sacrifice to get there.

If you grow up in a conservative family, a liberal family, a family with money, a family with even modest means, you are going to see things completely different that someone who grows up on welfare, right? As I see it, the person that grows up having everything and the person without, have entirely different perspectives, one side of the fence is painted, one is bare.

I am not a Republican, but I am definitely not a Democrat, as I have written before, I am just to the right of the middle, and I believe that most Americans are that way, either a little left or right of center. This said, why can’t we agree? One word, Perspective.

I believe that the goal for ALL Americans should be the same, to better their standing in life, to EARN more, and to HELP others to earn more, I do not believe that anyone should get a FREE RIDE! I do believe that those that have, should help those that do not, but, it should be by choice, not a new law or tax that forces one to give. Remember any big crisis, Katrina, 9/11, the Tsunami, whatever, Americanas always give what they can, to help!

Those that can’t work of course need help, the elderly, the sick, and so on, but, those that are physically able do not need an excuse, an incentive to not try and improve their situation.

Here is another perspective, if you grew up on welfare, you were always taught that welfare was a way of life, that the only way to get what you want or need is to find new ways to work the system, someone like that sees things way differently. Then of course you have that spoiled rotten rich kid, the guy that gets everything and appreciates nothing, believe it or not, I see more similarities between these two than do I see differences, yep, neither one wants to work!

So, how does this all work out? Who pays what? Well, of course it depends on how much you make, but if you are like me, at the bottom of the heap, you really cannot complain, so, why is it that the Democrats always talk so bad about the rich folks not paying enough?

Take a look at the next image, maybe that will help you see things, from a different perspective?

If you will notice, those of us at the bottom do not have much CHANGE ahead, only those that have done better in life, those that have been “successful” will now be penalized for having done so.

If you “forcefully” take away from one group, to give to another, that is just wrong. Americans are the most generous people on the planet, look at the donations to the Tsunami victims, Katrina, 9/11, and so on, if you take away from those that voluntarily give, will they be as generous?  By imposing penalties for success, and prizes for failure, what kind of message are we sending to the kids? Will the next generation say hey, why try, I can just sit back and get paid, why bother with Law School? At the same time, if you make it easy for anyone and everyone to go to college, what keeps the more qualified from reaching the top? I look at it this way, if you see what is happening in our public schools, the teachers are spread too thin, there are too many kids that just don’t care, that do not work as hard and frankly, just are not as smart, should we hold back the smart kids, the ones that are willing to sacrifice and work hard, just to help the others that will not? If the incentive to succeed is removed, then everyone will be wanting a handout!

There are always exceptions to every rule, that is what proves the rule to be true, but by turning the country into a Socialist society, all we do is change everyone’s perspective to the same view, that is just “Un-American”. The very thing that makes America great is that we have a different perspective than the rest of the world, we see that if you work extra hard, you can get to the top, what will happen to America if the top means that we are all the same? There is a reason that Doctors and Lawyers have nicer homes than butchers or janitors, there is a reason that business owners make more money than their employees, if we all turn into robots, waiting on government to solve our problems, all we will ever have, is problems!

Obama Wins: Now what?

Well, it happened, Barack Obama has defeated John McCain and will be the 44th President of the United States of America!

Listening to his speech, almost made me feel better about it, dang he can talk, so could Hitler, that is one of the reasons he won. I am sorry, but if you look at the map, and where he won, not just the states, but broken down by county, it doesn’t look like much, but those counties are where the big cities are, hmm, at least my state, Texas went the right way!

I am sorry if you were one of the people that were deceived by this man and his tax plans, just be ready for the fallout, when the taxes go up! It is either that, or all of those pretty socialist plans of his will get canceled.

SinceObama was elected, the whole country is going to have to get used to those San Francisco values of Nancy Pelosi and the other liberals that now will have complete control of our lives. I wonder how long it will be before he takes the guns away from us “bitter” Americans? Oh well, time will tell, maybe Texas will withdraw from the Union? Who knows, nobody yet, but it won’t take long to see.

While I am writing this, it sounds like the markets are all going to take a hit, we’ll see, may God bless and protect us, somebody has to, the voters didn’t do it!

Hillary Wins Indiana, Obama Wins North carolina, Now What? Who is going to drop out of the Election?

So, what happens next, will Hillary Clinton drop out? Funny, she and Barack Obama are almost tied for delegates, hmm, both just need to drop out! Just kidding, but what will happen? When will it happen? I can’t answer either, but I bet it won’t be pretty! These two are going to get down and dirty and start really throwing punches! I can’t wait!

For the last several weeks, all of the pundits have been saying that the elections of today would turn out the way that they have, does that make them smart, not really, if you listened to their reasons for predicting this outcome, it sounds pretty simple.

Yes, as sad as it is, it turns out that race and class do matter! That is just wrong! It hurts me to think that a black, white, or other, person would vote for, or against someone just because of the color of their skin, or gender, but it appears to be true. That is too bad, even the candidates tried to not make it so, maybe it is just human nature? I don’t know, but it is just wrong! Read more

Where is the Money? Capitalism vs Communism vs Socialism, What is the difference? Why should anybody care?

My last post on the subject of Communism vs Capitalism, has generated quite a bit of traffic to this site, so, I decided to do a follow-up. The first entry was about the differences between the people and such, this post is about the differences of the systems, beliefs, and the pitfalls of each.

First break it down this way, Capital-ism, Commun(e)-ism, and Social-ism, now lets get started.

Capital-ism

An economic system based on a free market, open competition, profit
motive and private ownership of the means of production. Capitalism
encourages private investment and business, compared to a
government-controlled economy. Investors in these private companies
(i.e. shareholders) also own the firms and are known as capitalists.

As the graphic shows, more money gets distributed between fewer people, but why? Can this be a good thing? I guess that depends on where you sit, at the top, bottom, or middle. Myself, I am not too far from the bottom, no, thank God, I am not homeless, jobless, or completely destitute, but the middle is so far above me, I can’t even see it!

I believe that Capitalism is the best way to go, even as an example of what can go wrong, I have had opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

With Capitalism, it is basically “survival of the fittest” as in this example. Read more
