Today, I had the opportunity to experience the 2013 National Rifle Association's Annual Convention and Banquet held in Houston, Texas. Words just can't describe how it made me feel. Upon first arriving at the convention hall, we were overwhelmed with the number of vendors who were there. At first, I wasn't sure how to even proceed through this massive maze of hardware peddlers. Their individual knowledge of their respective products and services was not only impressive, but refreshing. Finally, people who were actually educated and knowledgable about firearms, firearm handling, firearm accessories and supplies, and most of all.....firearm safety.
After several hours of walking and soaking up the sites, it had become close to the time my dad and I had been waiting for.......Glenn Beck. Yes, Glenn was speaking as this year's key note speaker. I was excited to hear what he had to say. I know what some of you are probably asking right now? Why in the world do I listen to this guy? Well, out of all of the political commentators, he comes off to me as the one who is most passionate about what he believes. And I believe that his and my political, and some spiritual, beliefs are very similar, if not the same. You see, first he believes in God and his son Jesus as I do. Second, he believes our rights were giving to us by God and not the government. Third, he believes that our government (Dems and Reps) are a bunch of Progressive Communists out to strip those God given rights away from us in order to place themselves in positions of power over us. I'd go on with a fourth, fifth, sixth, etc, but those three are the biggies. Now, I know what some of you are going to say. "That can't happen." We'll, you're wrong. It's been happening for decades now and will continue until they are successful, that is if we don't stop them.
The main topic of the evening was our Second Amendment Rights. Some of you don't even know what the Second Amendment is. Well, I'll make it easy for you. I'll tell you. It's your right to bear arms. This right wasn't meant to act as a means of hunting. It was meant as a means of defense from tyranny. What is tyranny?....some of you may ask. Well, tyranny is oppressive power exerted by government. Basically, our fore fathers had experienced tyranny from the king of England and not only wanted free of that, but never wanted us to have to experience it either. With that said, they gave us a mechanism to fend off such a terrible threat.....the Second Amendment. You see, it's easy to force your will upon someone else if you have power over them (you have a gun and they don't), but its a whole other story if both parties have guns. To put it as clear as I can, if we lose our Second Amendment rights (right to own a gun), we could soon lose every other right. If the government has all of the power, then where does that leave us?
I know. This all seems like a stretch and possibly even just some conspiracy theory,......or does it? Hasn't it occurred to you that not all men and women walking this beautiful planet are good people? Hasn't it occurred to you that some of the people, even around us, have evil or less than admirable ambitions? If you can believe that, then why would you believe that the people running our government are doing everything that's right for us as a collective society? The fact is, most of those people running our government are either lawyers, lobbyists, or con artists. What are all of these good at? They are excellent liars. Oh! Sorry. I meant bending the truth so that it seems believable. Good grief people! Haven't y'all heard the joke about "What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Answer: A good start." Apparently not. You idiots vote them into offices which determine you and your family's future. How stupid can you get?
Now don't get your feelings hurt or become insulted by what I'm saying. That isn't my intent. All I want to do is jolt you and wake you up. I know most of you have common sense and can figure most of this out yourselves, but I believe a large portion of you can't or won't believe that something like this could happen in America. It not only can happen, it's happening right before your eyes and its being pandered to you by a slick tongued charismatic President and his Congress. You see, he knows most of you are too caught up in your Facebook, twitter, video games, work, kids soccer practice, etc. to even take a glance at what damage he's doing to our country. He's hoping that you all will stay asleep until he's implemented every control seizing law possible and dismantle any mechanism or law that would enable us to fight back. Still seem far fetched? Well, explain all of the executive orders he's made when he didn't get what he wanted from Congress and his Democrat held Senate? Those were clear acts of a dictator, not someone who is interested in what the people want. In his own words, "Lets be clear....".......our Congress and Senate are our voices (at least they're suppose to be). When President Obama ignores them both and executes a law by executive order, that's an act of a dictator.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! Pull your heads out of your butts!

"Down with the White Christian Man"
Just yesterday, I posted on my Facebook Timeline about an up-coming boycott the Liberal and Gay community were organizing against Chik-Fil-A Restaurants for the inflammatory comments made by their CEO. Needless to say, it sparked a debate beyond expectations. I may have even lost a friend due to it. So, with all of that said, I'd like to dig into this subject and expand into what this is really all about......"Down with the White Christian Man". Now that's got to be a title that gets your attention.
All through history, there has been conflict between people of different, beliefs, skin color, sex, etc. It's not a bad thing to have a different opinion from someone else, but it is to allow those differences to excel into an aggressive act. As a Christian, I've been taught to love my brother and sister (he's speaking of every living being) and respect their feelings. The Lord made each of us individually which means that we all will not only look different, but have different points of view and concerns regarding all subjects. Now, that doesn't mean that we won't see eye to eye on everything. He made us this way so that we could be individually empowered to live our own lives as we wanted. So, when I see certain individuals or groups preying on certain races, groups, or classes of people to try and sway them (using manipulation tactics) to their way of thinking so as to assist them in pushing their agenda, I become aggravated. When an individual such as Al Sharpton starts his rhetoric about how black people have been oppressed for the past 400 years and certain classes and races listen, the views of these groups becomes swayed to believe that the evil white man has kept them down. The truth is, before American slavery, blacks were slaves in Africa under slave owners who were black. Yes, black. In fact, they were sold to white plantation owners in America by their black African owners and in turn were mostly treated better than by their previous owners. And I do say mostly because not all were treated well. What the biased history books of today won't tell you is about 2/3 of all slaves in America were treated very well having a separate house or building to live and raise their families in. In these buildings, they had furniture, beds, fireplaces, etc. In Africa, they were chained together, constantly beat, and made to sleep on the ground like dogs. On some plantations, certain slaves were allowed to stay in the main house, eat at the main table with the owners, even bathe in the tubs of the main house. These were well respected and trusted slaves.....treated as family mostly. You'll never hear Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson speak a word of those situations. Why? Because it won't help their race-baiting agenda. And that's just the blacks. There's still issues brewing with the Hispanics, the Asians, etc. The fact is.....Racism will only go away when we as a society stop allowing individuals like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to influence our way of thinking. God gave us a brain of our own, use it.
Religion has been a controversial topic since just after the beginning of human existence. I, as a Christian, have chose to believe in God and the writings of the Holy Bible. Others have chosen to follow the writings of Mohammed, Buhda, etc. My belief is that each and every living person has the freedom to follow whoever they chose without persecution from others, but I have also lived my whole life in a country which gives me that freedom. Some countries do not give such freedoms. With that said, I can't help but to continue to believe as I do because I don't believe that God wishes to force people to follow him. He gave each one of us "Free Will" for a reason. Free will allows us to make our own decisions about what we believe in and how we want to live our lives. Under other Gods, those views are frowned upon and in turn have sparked events such as "The Crusades", religious genocide, and many terrorists attacks around the globe. The last two were and are nothing short of evil acts perpetrated by madmen. The Crusades were the wars between the Christians and the Muslims almost a thousand years ago. Sometimes, I feel that they are still happening today.
In the past 50 years, other dividing factors have become recognized and pushed to the forefront of society.......sex and homosexuality. Sex as in referring to male versus female and homosexuality is self explanatory. These two factors have truly become major components in the Liberals attempt to divide our country. Throughout history, the woman has been expected to take a lesser role behind the male figure in the family. In some situations, it wasn't a good thing, but in most it was just viewed as the male was more able to provide and take care of the family. Since the women's Lib era, women have taken on more and more leading roles in society which, in most cases, has had great outcomes. But, as most of us already know, the Liberal society living among us is doing everything they can to divide us. They've even pushed for separate rights for women, even above and beyond the rights of males. The same goes for homosexuals. They've been persecuted since the acknowledgement of their existence. This being because heterosexuals just don't understand why they are what they are. We, as heterosexuals, only know what we are and what trials we face. Sometimes, its hard to step into the shoes of others who's action seem so out of the norm (as they see it). It all comes down to "Fear". We fear and feel threatened by what is different. Unfortunately, when faced with fear, we as humans react either in running away or attacking that that we fear. And heterosexuals have been since labeled as "Gay Bashers" for not only acts that they may have made, but others as well.
And where is the White Christian Male in all of this? Well, he's usually the target for all of these groups. He bought the slave from the African slave trader, he hung blacks from trees in the early to mid 1900s, he killed Muslims for Religious reasons, he beat his wife and kids throughout the years, and he beat up gays among other things. Unfortunately, that's what people think. The truth is, every race has its bad apples and those apples were the perpetrators of these crimes. Most of these men were and are good people who would never harm another. When it came to the battles between the Christians and the Muslims, we all know the truth there......the Muslims were, and still are, trying to wipe the Christians and every other religion off the face of the Earth. Extermination. As Christians, we are taught to turn the other cheek. And we try........well, at least until these savages step across the line. Now, I'm in no way saying that all Christians are innocent. They have their bad apples as well.
My purpose for this blog is that too many situations throughout time have escalated to levels which have produced more harm than solutions. Some more harm than others, but harm none-the-less. As for this Chik-Fil-A situation, I don't fully agree with the words chosen by Mr. Cathy, CEO of the fast food chain, but I do respect his right to his opinion. It seems that some have misconstrued that fact in my earlier post. With that said, I will spell it out so that I'm clear. Here following are simple bullet points laying it all out:
-I am offended by the way Mr. Cathy made his statement. I'm not offended because I'm gay (which I'm not). I'm offended for my gay friends, because gay or not, they are still just everyday people to me.
-I do not, and never will, support a boycott of any business in this country. As I've said, small businesses are the backbone of this country and boycotting any of them for one person's statements is nothing other than a bullying tactic. Let me expand on that and put things into "gay" perspective for the homosexual community. If Ru Paul came out and said, "F*** all you straight people. You can all go to H***." Do you think that straight people should retaliate against all gays for these statements? I'll bet you don't. When it comes to those people running and working Mr. Cathy's restaurants, they all probably cringed when he said what he did. But you liberals are gonna punish them anyway, aren't you? That's why I think that they (boycotters) are bullies. Bullies look for opportunities to demean and torture other people.
-I will be eating there all day for every meal on that day in support, not for the CEO, but for the small people. Not only that, Liberals look for any opportunity to hurt Capitalism. I, along with many other Americans, will counteract this weak attempt to do so.
Anyone who thinks differently, you are part of the problem, not the solution. You need to re-evaluate your life.

Important Food For Thought
I feel the need to touch on two subjects today. One on family values. The other on the repeating of history. I apologize if one doesn't exactly flow into the other, but these two things have been on my mind and I feel that I must share my thoughts on them both. So, please bear with me.
Family
As Americans, we sometimes take for granted what we have as a people. Most of today's generation have no clue about what has happened in the history of the world. Most of them are tech-savvies living in the "here and now" hoping that mom and dad's sponsored trust fund doesn't run dry. I guess I can't blame them. We created them. We were the ones who babied them. We were the ones who allowed them to stay indoors and play video games instead of going outside and being active. We were the ones who went and apologetically bowed to the bully's parents for our child becoming their victim instead of teaching our child to knock his/her block off. We were the ones who allowed our government run public school systems to teach our children what they felt they needed to know. I could go on and on, but the point is....it's our fault. We, as providers/Parents/Guardians or whatever you label yourselves, have become complacent in our everyday lives and have become failures to our families. I know. That stings. "Me? A failure? I work very hard so that my family has everything they want." That's just it. It's not about what they want, it's about what they need. Men, I know that you get up early and head to work where you put in a hard day's work in order to supply for your wife and kids. That's admirable, but what both your wife and kids also need is as much of your time that you can give. Your wife needs someone to listen to her while she carries on about stuff that may not mean much to you, but it does to her. Women are love driven creatures. She wants you to find her interesting and to love her. Here's a little secret, women are physically attracted to men who find them interesting and show them affection. Now, that doesn't mean they are attracted to you humping their legs like a sex-starved chiguagua. Try a little tact and be respectful. Also guys, take time to visit and play with your children. Before you know it, they will be grown and won't want to have anything to do with you. I know that some of you say that you can't wait for that to happen so that they will leave you alone, but you will miss them hanging on you, snuggling up with you on the couch, and trying to drag you outside to play. As for you ladies, simply this.....show your man respect. Now I don't mean bow down to him. Most real men resent a weak women. Men are physical and respect driven creatures. Physical in the ways of sex and respect in regards to what they long for. We, as men, want to be the "Hero", the "Champion". We want to be your savior and protector, but we also need your love. It amazes me how some women treat their men with such disrespect and then expect for them to be faithful. News Flash Ladies! If you don't take care of your man at home, he will fill his needs elsewhere....eventually. Same goes for you guys.
With regards to history, our young Americans of today have been taught skewed versions of what truly happened with regards to many great historical events around the world. Many of our youth today have no idea of who Adam and Eve were. They don't know who discovered the Americas. They don't know what the Boston Tea Party or the Revolutionary War was about. They don't have a clue what The Great Depression was or what people had to endure that lived through it. They don't know who we were fighting in WWI and WWII. They can't tell you who FDR is or even what the initials stand for. They don't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis or the Cold War of the 80s were. Some of them actually don't know why we even went to war with Afghanistan/the Taliban/Al Queda. Really?! People, it's time to sit your kids down and give them a history lesson. And I mean the truth no matter how much it pains you to tell it. Our kids need to know the two who began the human race. They need to know who sailed across the Atlantic and discovered what we now call home. They need to know what the Boston Tea Party or the Revolutionary War were and what they were about. They need to hear you tell the about The Great Depression, FDR, and about both world wars. They need to know who we were fighting and why. Talk in depth about Hitler and his extermination of the Jewish race. Talk in depth about Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor which drew us into war with them. And make sure that when you speak about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that you mention America had expended all other avenues toward ending the war, but Japan wished to wipe America off the map. We did what we had to do in order to insure our survival and to end the war. Teach them about the
With that said, let me bring something to your attention. Just a little historical timeline:
1919 - Hitler joins the German Worker's Group (Union)
1920 - Nazi Party Formed
1921 - Hitler named leader of Nazi Party
1929 - The Great German Depression
1930 - Nazi Party gains political control
1933 - Hitler named Chancellor
3 months later, Hitler uses civil unrest to declare martial law and begins detaining and eventually exterminating Jewish members of Germany. You know the rest of the story.....I hope.
Now, let's look at a more recent timeline:
1995 - Barack Obama began consorting with Bill Ayers, a known terrorist responsible for the bombing of several federal buildings in the 1960s.
1996 - Barack Obama slipped into the U.S Senate by devious means with only a political background in Community Organizing (or radical race-bating hate monger). He was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America organization.
1997 - Obama introduces "Islamic Community Day" bill
2001 - Obama voted on a law which made it unlawful for a homeowner to use a gun to protect his/her home.
2001 - Obama was linked to the Arab American Action Network which was suspected of funding anti-American terrorists action in Beirut and other countries.
2001 - Obama sponsored the Senate Bill 750 "the Halal Food Act" providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.
2003 - Obama took over $90K as contribution from the Council of a Livable World which is in favor of full military disarmament (which would love to leave us defenceless from the tyrants of the world).
2008 - Obama runs for President of the US
2009 - Obama is sworn into office as the President of the US
2009 - Passes very expensive Stimulus which created zero jobs, but lined the pockets of many of his friends.
2009 - Artificially propped up the housing market which in turn crashed again even worse.
2009 - Bailed out auto industry and handed GM over to the United Auto Workers union.
2009 - Appointed 32 Czars without Congress's approval.
2010 - Obama and his Democrat ran Congress and Senate ram through Obamacare even though 82% of Americans stated that they preferred to keep health care the way it was.
2010-2012 - Ballooned the country's debt sinking America closer to her second Great Depression.
2012 - Refuses to engage Iran militarily to ensure the safety of Israel which Iran has vowed to wipe off the map.
On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signs the National Defence Authorization Act which give him the sole power of detaining American citizens if he considers them to be a threat to national security.
People, let me just say that I'm starting to see a resemblance in history here. I understand that there are those of you who don't believe in conspiracies, but something just doesn't smell right here. Think about it. Say we are hit with a National Disaster of some sort. Our financial situation is grim, our military is spread all over the world, our President favors Arab ways to ours, he now has the power to not only declare Martial Law, but also start detaining us for whatever reason. I'm just saying.
Well, I should climb down off of my soapbox and get ready to start my day. Good day to you all.

They need to know who sailed across the Atlantic and discovered what we now call home. They need to know what the Boston Tea Party or the Revolutionary War were and what they were about. They need to hear you tell the about The Great Depression, FDR, and about both world wars. They need to know who we were fighting and why. Talk in depth about Hitler and his extermination of the Jewish race. Talk in depth about Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor which drew us into war with them. And make sure that when you speak about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that you mention America had expended all other avenues toward ending the war, but Japan wished to wipe America off the map. We did what we had to do in order to insure our survival and to end the war. Teach them about the
With that said, let me bring something to your attention. Just a little historical timeline:
1919 - Hitler joins the German Worker's Group (Union)
1920 - Nazi Party Formed
1921 - Hitler named leader of Nazi Party
1929 - The Great German Depression
1930 - Nazi Party gains political control
1933 - Hitler named Chancellor
3 months later, Hitler uses civil unrest to declare martial law and begins detaining and eventually exterminating Jewish members of Germany. You know the rest of the story.....I hope.
Now, let's look at a more recent timeline:
1995 - Barack Obama began consorting with Bill Ayers, a known terrorist responsible for the bombing of several federal buildings in the 1960s.
1996 - Barack Obama slipped into the U.S Senate by devious means with only a political background in Community Organizing (or radical race-bating hate monger). He was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America organization.
1997 - Obama introduces "Islamic Community Day" bill
2001 - Obama voted on a law which made it unlawful for a homeowner to use a gun to protect his/her home.
2001 - Obama was linked to the Arab American Action Network which was suspected of funding anti-American terrorists action in Beirut and other countries.
2001 - Obama sponsored the Senate Bill 750 "the Halal Food Act" providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.
2003 - Obama took over $90K as contribution from the Council of a Livable World which is in favor of full military disarmament (which would love to leave us defenceless from the tyrants of the world).
2008 - Obama runs for President of the US
2009 - Obama is sworn into office as the President of the US
2009 - Passes very expensive Stimulus which created zero jobs, but lined the pockets of many of his friends.
2009 - Artificially propped up the housing market which in turn crashed again even worse.
2009 - Bailed out auto industry and handed GM over to the United Auto Workers union.
2009 - Appointed 32 Czars without Congress's approval.
2010 - Obama and his Democrat ran Congress and Senate ram through Obamacare even though 82% of Americans stated that they preferred to keep health care the way it was.
2010-2012 - Ballooned the country's debt sinking America closer to her second Great Depression.
2012 - Refuses to engage Iran militarily to ensure the safety of Israel which Iran has vowed to wipe off the map.
On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signs the National Defence Authorization Act which give him the sole power of detaining American citizens if he considers them to be a threat to national security.
People, let me just say that I'm starting to see a resemblance in history here. I understand that there are those of you who don't believe in conspiracies, but something just doesn't smell right here. Think about it. Say we are hit with a National Disaster of some sort. Our financial situation is grim, our military is spread all over the world, our President favors Arab ways to ours, he now has the power to not only declare Martial Law, but also start detaining us for whatever reason. I'm just saying.
Well, I should climb down off of my soapbox and get ready to start my day. Good day to you all.

HELLO! Is there anyone awake out there?
The United States of America.....once a vast land full of people with dreams of peace and prosperity. These people came far and wide from countries all over the world to be a part of something which was unheard of in their native lands......Freedom. Freedom to own property. Freedom to speak their minds and be heard. Freedom to own firearms so as to hunt for food and to protect their families and homes. Freedom of religion, and so on. These concepts were frowned upon by other countries, not because they didn't believe in them or want them for their countries, but simply because their citizens were leaving their countries seeking out these freedoms. In leaving, these citizens diminished the amount of people these leaders (in other countries) had control over. You see, power is a very strong thing when it comes to government. Once a person has felt power, they naturally want more of it and will do whatever it takes to keep it. This is simple psychology. I can't say that most countries started out with a democratically run government because I just don't know the histories of each and every one on the planet. I can say that some of them did start out democratically run, but were corrupted throughout their existence leading them into a Socialist, Communist, or even Totalitarian state. This just didn't happen overnight to most of those countries. It was mostly slow and gradual. In these regimes, there are two classes of citizens....the rich and the poor. There is no middle class nor equality. And the rich and powerful don't share with the poor.
Through the centuries, the US grew due to its growing numbers of entrepreneurs and hard working Americans striving to build a better life for their families. There were huge developments in the industrial and agricultural arenas helping the country's prosperity to grow which in turn placed the US at a higher status in the world. Eventually, the US surpassed every other country in the world due to its people's dedication and hard work causing many of the others to become envious which in turn turned into hatred. I believe that since those days, people have been infiltrating our society acting as new immigrants looking for the "American Dream", but spreading anti-American propaganda. Most of our fore fathers resisted these outlandish claims made by these people, but there were some who bought into it. Usually, they were the poor or ones who felt disenfranchised. This same propaganda still goes on today. Their main tactic is to divide us. You know....the old "Divide and Conquer" method. Make no mistake, this is happening and each of you are in the middle of it. Think about it. What do these groups use to divide us? How about race (black, white, Hispanic, etc.)? How about religion (Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.)? How about money (rich, middle class, poor)? How about gender (male, female)? How about the environment (global warming believer, global warming non-believer)? How about Health care (private run health care, government run health care)? How about age (young, old)? These are just some of the areas they use to divide us. These people originally called themselves socialists, but through the years found that the American people predominately were steering clear of them. So, they decided to rename themselves to Liberals/Humanitarians. They eventually found that this title set better with a good number of Americans. The sad thing was that Americans thought this to be a newly formed group interested in helping people. This group eventually infiltrated and took over most of the Democratic Party. To this day, a lot of Americans still believe that the Democratic Party wants what is best for Americans. I should think that after these past three years, their eyes have been opened.
I must admit that I voted for Bush, but I wasn't very pleased with his last four years. With Obama winning the next Presidency, I had hoped that he would keep to his promises of helping America get back on her feet during his first term. But that didn't happen. He, and his Democratic Congress crammed a monstrosity of debt and socialist based policies down our throats without our consent. This President has shown that he is nothing more than a man working to destroy what our fore fathers work so hard to build and he is using any and all devices possible to "Divide and Conquer" us. With that said, I would like to share something I found recently. It is as follows:
Coil Of Rage
When you've read to the end, come back and read this first paragraph again.
A Coil of Rage
The character of any man is defined by how he treats his mother as the years pass .... need I say more about this person below, other than there is no character, no integrity but there is a ton of attitude and arrogance that defines his shallow past and hollow future .... I rest my case..
I bought and read Obama's book, Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he used to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words, not mine.
THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT -- HE'S RUNNING AGAIN, YOU KNOW! Is anyone out there awake?
Everyone of voting age should read these two books by him: Don't buy them, just get them from the library.
From Dreams From My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
From Dreams From My Father :
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
From Dreams From My Father:
From Dreams From My Father:
"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams From My Father:
"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own.. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
And FINALLY ........... and most scary:
From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims, should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so!!! We have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation! Keep your eye on him and don't blink.
I don't care whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal, be aware of the attitude and character of this sitting President.
There is a reason there remains a gag order on his college thesis, it is thought to be highly inflammatory from a race perspective! Both his and Michelle's.
Not knowing if these were true, I did some research to either confirm or refute these quotes. Disturbingly, they were true. How in the world did such a man get elected to the highest office in a country such as the United States of America? This is bad! This man and his administration have done nothing less than weaken us from the inside. And now, being that he can't run on his unsuccessful economic policies, he turns to vicious attacks on religion, women, race, etc. to divide us. These tactics are unethical and down right demeaning to all Americans. He has the audacity to stand up there and preach to us about being decent human beings to one another then in turn takes a million dollars from one of the most crude people in America. See the link as follows:

You heard him people. He said he was going to lead by example. So, with that said, I guess we can all run up our debt beyond what we have the ability to repay, call the creditors and ask them to raise our debt limit so we can continue running it up, force things which are utterly undesirable and unaffordable on our families and friends without taking their views into consideration, spread rumors about people who appose our views, make decisions which cause others to have financial and emotional hardships while we go on an expensive date or trip to Europe flaunting it and thumbing our noses at them the entire time, promote unrest in the streets, and apologize and bow to our enemies. I'm sure I missed some, but you get the point. This man is not only unfit to hold this office, he is a disgrace to our country and its countrymen. He was telling you the truth when he said he was going to fundamentally change America. He's changing it into a Socialist country. One where "We the People" lose our voice and rights. America, if you don't wake up and smell the coffee, there may not be much of an "American Dream" to chase. How much more proof do you need?

I'm fed up.....
I'm fed up with all of these "poor dog/cat had a tortured life so send money" commercials. If I wanted to give my money to a stranger just to get a photo of some random animal in the mail, I'd buy a magazine about dogs/cats.
I'm fed up with our Republican Candidates trashing each other. The only thing they are accomplishing is destroying each other in the American people's minds and giving Obama ammo for his attack adds.
I'm fed up with our present administration. There's too much to discuss.
I'm fed up with stupid people. They know who they are and what they've done. If they don't, they're dumber than I thought.
I'm fed up with most women. They have no idea what it is to be a man. The only thing they know is what they want and what they want their man to do and be. And God help us if we don't accomodate them. Word to the unwise......try seeing what he really wants. Chances are, its weekly time with his friends (without you and the kids), post work day wind down, respect, and peace and quiet.
I'm fed up with people making fun of Tim Tebow. Face it, you're just jealous that he has more talent in his left pinky finger than you have in your whole body so you chose to attack his religion. I hope that I'm standing right behind you when St. Peter sends your sorry Jesus-hating ass to hell. I'm gonna laugh. Bet on it.
I'm fed up with people complaining about other's comments/posts on Facebook and Twitter. If you don't like their comment/post, scroll right on past and ignore it. If you consider their comment/post offensive to you, it must hit home in some way and you might ought to stop complaining about them and do some self examination.
I'm fed up with the stupid shows on Disney these days. Most of them are just a bunch of disrespectful, spoiled teenagers acting stupid which in turn spills over onto our kids. No wonder our kids' generation is so screwed up. Just stop some time and watch them. They can't even communicate with each other unless its through a text message or FB post.
I'm fed up with Ashton Kutcher. He is not and never will be a good replacement for Charlie Sheen.
I'm fed up with having dreams, working to help make them happen, and someone else screwing it up for me.
I'm fed up with having to cover other people's butts because they are too lazy or cheap to do what it takes to do it theirselves.

Just how it is.
There's been a video floating around about a man, who was raised by lesbians, speaking to a panel of lawmakers on behalf of gay marriage. After watching the video, I scrolled through the various comments made about it and the subject at hand. Some of the comments were very well thought out and written making very good points. Some were just idiotic. But, out of all the comments I read, one stood out. In order to protect the person who wrote it, I'm going to word the comment differently but keep the same meaning. So, with that said, the comment was..... Our Country allows us the right to have our own religion, free speech, sexual orientation, etc., so it is our government's duty to protect and to stand up for each and every person's rights living here in this nation. Granted, the words are a little different, but the overall message is essentually the same. I can agree with you with regards to what America offers as a nation, but your statement that our government has a duty to stand up for EACH and EVERY PERSON'S RIGHTS....I do not. You see, what some people, living amongst us here in America, fail to understand is that America is a democracy. And in a democracy, not everyone gets their way. As unfortunate as that is, democracy is still the best form of government in the world. It has been proven over and over for thousands of years. If you doubt that statement, check history. The NON FICTION section in your local public library is full of history books for your review.
Democracy works best when our elected officials vote along the lines of what their constituents believe. But in today's government, our elected officials vote what they believe in or trade votes in order to fullfill campaign promises. In America, if the majority (50.1% or higher) says "NO" to gay marriage, then it's NO to gay marriage. Sorry, that's the way it is. Right or wrong, America has spoken. Now that doesn't mean that Americans don't like homosexuals. It just means that the majority of Americans don't believe that a man and a man or a woman and a woman should be allowed to marry. Not unlike heterosexuals, most homosexuals are hard working and polite everyday citizens. Why should they be treated any different? Well, they shouldn't. The problem is, homosexuality in today's society is still viewed as taboo and for that it will be looked down upon by the majority of Americans claiming to be moral upstanding citizens whom which probably are hiding racey secrets of their own. I guess what I'm trying to say through all of my crazy rambling is that not all of us here in America will get what we want, but just knowing that there is the opportunity to strive for it gives me hope that some day in the future.....may be my day. That is one thing that you won't get in a Socialist/Communist society. That day will always be theirs, not yours.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Threats to American Freedom
Everyday, I become more and more disgusted with the people living among us calling themselves revolutionists. These mobs of revolutionists (protesters) are nothing more than a bunch of brain-washed, under-educated, and under-experienced college students following the directions of their liberal professors whom have no idea what the real world is really about. These professors need to be fired so that they have to learn how to earn their own way in this world. Unfortunately, most of them have tenure and have to do something outside the ethics or rules of the school they teach at to be terminated. Think about it, these people are educating our future generations. God help us.
When it comes to the protesters themselves, what are they griping about? Sometimes I can't tell. What they are spouting out seems like a bunch of incoherent rambling. Some are mad at the corporations for making record profits while laying off hundreds, even thousands. Some are mad about the over the top government spending. Others are there just to smoke dope, twitter on their I-pads, and act like asses. With all of that said, I feel the need to break all of this down so as to hopefully understand why these people are so angry. Now, when it comes to the corporations making huge profits while laying off thousands, I have a logical explanation. Now, I do understand that there are those of us who will call this horse crap, but that doesn't mean that I'm not right. So, let's take a look at this. Let's pretend that there is a lady named Linda who wants to open up and run her own candle business. Through the past years, she has worked for a candle company and has become very good at making and selling candles. So, she saves her money and starts buying the necessary equipment and supplies for her business venture. After several months of saving and gathering the needed supplies, Linda resigns her position at her job and dives into building and marketing her company. At first, business is really slow due to her company not being known about by the consumers, but business eventually picks up and word of her great products and craftsmanship spreads throughout the community. Now, to put things into monetary perspective, she is selling her candles at $10 each and is selling 100 per month equaling $1000. As business builds, Linda finds that she is now selling approximately $5000 per month and is quickly becoming overworked and unable to spend much time with her family. She finds herself needing help and hires three other ladies with like talents and interests. This helps Linda to triple her business and earnings. She pays them $10 per hour each. With payroll coming close to $4500 a month and her supplies coming close to $6000 a month, that leaves around $4500 as profit. Not bad, some of you might say. But wait. Now Uncle Sam and the state come knocking. The state usually takes just the sales tax which Linda collects on every sale. Not a big deal, but Uncle Sam is another issue. After eveything is all said and done, Linda walks away with something in the area of $3000. Now keep in mind, this is all based upon Linda paying her employees as contract labor and not having to pay their half of certain federal entitlement taxes. If they were full employees, her final profits would be much less.
So, with Linda clicking along bringing her approximately 20% profit in every month, life is good. The company is solvent and ready to expand. But wait! Uncle Sam comes along and raises taxes. Linda starts seeing this cut her profits down close to 14% and starts trying to figure out how to cut costs to help bring it back up. She tries buying cheaper supplies, but finds that her products are not up to the quality that she has set as her standard for her business. As much as it hurts, she has to lay someone off. In doing so, she does find the profits to start rising, even to the point of gaining a few percentage points. Does this make Linda a bad person? Some may say it does. Some may say she has become greedy. The problem is, these people who criticize people like Linda haven't taken that plunge into owning and running their own business. They have no idea of what Linda has gone through in the building and running her business. Maybe these people should try owning and running a business. I beleive that if they were to, they'd think and feel differently.
When it comes to their complaints about the massive overspending of the government, I say AMEN! I'm with them on that one. There are so many areas that we, as a country, could cut spending. Myself, I would start with payments to foreign countries. I have never understood why we give multi-millions of dollars to countries who hate and attack us. I beleive if we are going to send these people money, it needs to be taped to a 10 ton nuclear warhead. I would call that money well spent. Another cost that I would cut would be our polititions' pay and benefits. I don't mind helping them pay for their health insurance while they are in office, but it should cancel the minute they are voted out of office. Spending money to protect Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Etc and their families is wasted money. Who would want to kidnap those idiots? There are even some countries who owe us. COLLECT! If they don't pay, occupy their country. Hell, send these protestors. They will pay us just to get these smelly, disgusting free-loaders out of their country. There are so many areas where money could be saved, but we need individuals in Washington that want to take the steps to move on doing so.
I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of government. I do know that the corruption is wide-spread throughout it though. When are we going to elect an individual who is truly going to lead us out of this tyranny? When are we going to stop voting in people just because they look good or they speak elligantly? Fellow Americans, we are our country's last line of defense. If we are going to continue to be a free country, we must stand together now and let our voices be heard. Look around! Our enemies are. These protestors are not our friends. They are free-loading bumbs who want to feed off of your's and my hard-earned paycheck. BE BOLD! Stand toe to toe with them and let them know that this stops here and now. God Bless.
When it comes to the protesters themselves, what are they griping about? Sometimes I can't tell. What they are spouting out seems like a bunch of incoherent rambling. Some are mad at the corporations for making record profits while laying off hundreds, even thousands. Some are mad about the over the top government spending. Others are there just to smoke dope, twitter on their I-pads, and act like asses. With all of that said, I feel the need to break all of this down so as to hopefully understand why these people are so angry. Now, when it comes to the corporations making huge profits while laying off thousands, I have a logical explanation. Now, I do understand that there are those of us who will call this horse crap, but that doesn't mean that I'm not right. So, let's take a look at this. Let's pretend that there is a lady named Linda who wants to open up and run her own candle business. Through the past years, she has worked for a candle company and has become very good at making and selling candles. So, she saves her money and starts buying the necessary equipment and supplies for her business venture. After several months of saving and gathering the needed supplies, Linda resigns her position at her job and dives into building and marketing her company. At first, business is really slow due to her company not being known about by the consumers, but business eventually picks up and word of her great products and craftsmanship spreads throughout the community. Now, to put things into monetary perspective, she is selling her candles at $10 each and is selling 100 per month equaling $1000. As business builds, Linda finds that she is now selling approximately $5000 per month and is quickly becoming overworked and unable to spend much time with her family. She finds herself needing help and hires three other ladies with like talents and interests. This helps Linda to triple her business and earnings. She pays them $10 per hour each. With payroll coming close to $4500 a month and her supplies coming close to $6000 a month, that leaves around $4500 as profit. Not bad, some of you might say. But wait. Now Uncle Sam and the state come knocking. The state usually takes just the sales tax which Linda collects on every sale. Not a big deal, but Uncle Sam is another issue. After eveything is all said and done, Linda walks away with something in the area of $3000. Now keep in mind, this is all based upon Linda paying her employees as contract labor and not having to pay their half of certain federal entitlement taxes. If they were full employees, her final profits would be much less.
So, with Linda clicking along bringing her approximately 20% profit in every month, life is good. The company is solvent and ready to expand. But wait! Uncle Sam comes along and raises taxes. Linda starts seeing this cut her profits down close to 14% and starts trying to figure out how to cut costs to help bring it back up. She tries buying cheaper supplies, but finds that her products are not up to the quality that she has set as her standard for her business. As much as it hurts, she has to lay someone off. In doing so, she does find the profits to start rising, even to the point of gaining a few percentage points. Does this make Linda a bad person? Some may say it does. Some may say she has become greedy. The problem is, these people who criticize people like Linda haven't taken that plunge into owning and running their own business. They have no idea of what Linda has gone through in the building and running her business. Maybe these people should try owning and running a business. I beleive that if they were to, they'd think and feel differently.
When it comes to their complaints about the massive overspending of the government, I say AMEN! I'm with them on that one. There are so many areas that we, as a country, could cut spending. Myself, I would start with payments to foreign countries. I have never understood why we give multi-millions of dollars to countries who hate and attack us. I beleive if we are going to send these people money, it needs to be taped to a 10 ton nuclear warhead. I would call that money well spent. Another cost that I would cut would be our polititions' pay and benefits. I don't mind helping them pay for their health insurance while they are in office, but it should cancel the minute they are voted out of office. Spending money to protect Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Etc and their families is wasted money. Who would want to kidnap those idiots? There are even some countries who owe us. COLLECT! If they don't pay, occupy their country. Hell, send these protestors. They will pay us just to get these smelly, disgusting free-loaders out of their country.
