Higgins Takes Down The Orange

2012-01-21T17:20:00.000-08:00

Image via WikipediaTim Higgins has been Syracuse's Bane forever. I bet statistics would show that he has been at the bottom of most of the oranges losses over time. In a game that was poorly officiated the Orange lost again. What a coincidence that it was an the Fighting Irish that they lost to and Tim Higgins was once again the ref.
Good Job Tim Hope Brey bought you dinner for it.

The KKK Rides In South Carolina

2012-01-17T18:53:00.000-08:00

Newt and the rest of the KKK (Republicans) debated last night. We got more references about how blacks need to get jobs and get off food stamps. He also seems to think that black kids should be school janitors. Watch out school Janitors the Republicans want to put you out of work. They want cheap black labor.
     In this day and age racism is totally unacceptable. We should annex states that have problems like this and move the ignorant white people to Guantanamo. Maybe they would appreciate the fact that we have a free society. All people have rights in this country. Any one who opposes this should lose their freedom until they understand that their freedom doesn't over rule any one elses' Maybe it's time to put a bounty on their scalps, the same way people have done to others in the past.
     Republicans put 10 million people out of work by sending their jobs to China. Newt and Romney just loved doing that. Romney actually personally sent 10's of thousands of jobs out of the country single-handedly. He also create thousands of jobs there. Romney should be running for President of China. He did more to make them a power than any other Republican politician except maybe Newt Gingrich. He who be Prime Minister in China.
     Republicans call it free trade but it was really a plot to take American jobs and send them out of the country. The idea being that only the rich would have money in the United States and they would have slave labor to mow their lawns and clean their homes. Back to the days of Hazel the maid.
     The only people who are envious are the rich. They got tired of seeing people who could afford houses like theirs and big ticket items. Their lives lost meaning because they couldn't have any one to look down on. They paid politicians to sell out the American people, so that the rich could feel good about themselves. Its no wonder that people are fed up with the elites. They may however find that their plan worked to well. Now the criminals have only one place to go to steal and its the Rich people's places and businesses. At this rate they might not be safe driving anything but a 10 year old Hyundai, so they don't attract attention. Hell in Ten year they may have to move out of the United States to remain safe. The days of kidnapping could come back. We already see it in Mexico. How far off can it be here.

Coming Soon; Assault Weapons and Drugs from Texas

2012-01-16T20:31:00.000-08:00

     As people scream about immigration, Texas imports Drugs from Mexico and exports assault weapons to Mexico in record numbers. It would seem that law enforcement in Texas has turned it's back on gun stores that sell thousands of guns to Mexican Mafia figures yearly, which reenter the U.S. to kill cops in other states. Yay for Texas gun dealers. The ATF knows this is going on and has yet to charge gun dealers for this practice. Maybe they don't want to get shot with those guns either.
     Texas businesses store drugs for cartel members and ship them to our neighborhoods. Thank you Texas, but would you mind stopping, of course you would, because this is what the Republicans call capitalism and free trade.
     I would say that it might be done unwittingly, but when they back a tractor trailer up to the guys business that is highly unlikely. Everything is bigger in Texas including the greed, which adds to the earning of the drug cartels. Wonder who in politics is getting their cut of that money. Next time your politician says he supports the NRA ask if gets a cut of this money.

Racisst republicans Will Win In Iowa

2012-01-02T18:30:00.000-08:00

Image via WikipediaThe Republican Caucasus are set for tomorrow and polls show that two stealth racists will win in Iowa. It is no secret that republicans think they have the right to own blacks since they referred to Herman Caine as one of "their blacks." but not we see that Ron Paul who's newsletter ran racist stories for decade may win the Iowa caucuses and Rick Santorum, who says that Obama supports abortion because he is black, may place second.
     It may seem that Iowa is not typical of the Republican electorate, but I would argue that it is Indicative. Republican candidates have moved to the right of Hitler to impress the voters in Iowa. They say they support Israel, but odds are that is simply a military position not an acceptance of the Jews. Republicans even have their version of acceptable Hispanics. I guess the anti Castro Cubans fall into that category rather than the run of the Hispanics that didn't swim as far as Cuba are not acceptable unless they can be control led by the people who's lawns and gardens the fix.
     We have seen the shift to the Eric Cantor, I''m better than everyone) Republican Party. This Reactionary side to the party seem to resonate withe Super Conservative we are the Klan by another name Republicans that the party has embrace. The trend began with Rush and has become more evident with the influence of Rupert Murdock. Nothing is out of bounds to these people who see themselves as being surrounded by non white and non evangelicals.
     The loss is to the true Republicans who believe in the basics of the American Dream. Hard work, an opportunity to have a better life for their children, and the knowledge that this can happen for anyone in The United States. The great republican Abraham Lincoln would puke if he could see the degree level his party has sunken. A bunch lying fanatics who would steal your wallet and give it to a billionaire. Funny that the people they spit on would return it.

Republican's Want To Fix Their Broken Toy

2011-09-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

Through the Bush Administration Republicans had control of the Presidency, The House, and The Senate. During that time they could (and did) pass any law they pleased and they did. They did everything they believed would lead to a strong economy. We got a train wreck. The economy went down the toilet because greedy people were allowed to do exactly what they please. Republicans assured the public that no one would willingly destroy their own businesses and financial security. They would play by the rules because it was in their financial interest. Well bad news they were WRONG. NEGLIGENTLY WRONG!
     People have forgotten that this economy is the result of closing your eyes and letting things happen (as Republicans still propose today). We got free trade, thanks to Newt Gingrich led us here. Then Two George Bush's watched as the economy glanced off a wall only to crash dead on into it. George Bush one was terrible for the economy and his son the idiot alcoholic borrowed us right into finacial Armageddon. Spending would have never been an issue if Bush had not borrowed us right out of our credit rating.
     The economists were wrong and are silent now. The fact is that neither people or their govenment can borrow to buy limitlessly. This is economics 100. No one can borrow more than they can afford to pay off, but they all did. We spent three trillion dollars on Two wars and it is piling up faster than we can pay the interest, but we can't get out of the middle east. Who would equalize the power in those areas. The U.S. knows, Al Queda backed by Packistan. Soon Packistan will fall into civil war due to the opposing views of it's people's. The radical Islamists on both sides will pick up guns and begin to fight each other. This will leave nuclear weapons in peril of being distributed to finatics. Hell, Pakistani's are finatics. We have seen it time after time. We will never get out of there.
     As the dollars we need to fix our economy get sucked out of our treasury by wars that will never end, we can't afford to do what needs to be done to create jobs. This is what Republicans don't want you to remember or think about. There is no economic growth here because buisiness doesn't need to hire people in this country to make Billions. Our jobs are now in china and india and a 100 other countries who won't or can't afford, to buy American made. Any way hardly anything they need is American made.
     There is no prospect of a recovery. The stock market is going down and it will not come back, the price commodities like gold and oil tell us that. People who have money won't put it in stock. Banks are teetering on the edge of failure. If Europe defaults they will not be paid back for tens of millions of dollars they lent. This will lead to bankruptcy for them, which is how we got that word. Banks went broke during the great depression. They will again but now they are huge banks and that will reak havoc on people in the middle and those who are about to retire. The real economic disaster is about to take place and Europe is where that will happen and President Obama can't stop that. The fact is that even Europe can't stop it. The clock is ticking and every finacial advisor has his money some where safe, is your safe.

Smoking: How to ban what you don't like.

2011-06-21T20:28:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaOnce a person is addicted to any chemical it is impossible for them to quit and be around it with out wanting it. This is why ex-smokers want everyone else to quit. If the government worked this hard to keep illegal drugs off the streets we would be able to walk the streets in the city at night again.
     I quit smoking because i chose to quit. I would have kept smoking if I didn't decide to. At some point cigerettes will become like any other illegal drug and people will drive down the street to the dealers to buy them.
     Kids are not smoking but they are getting nicotine and using it. They buy the gum or electronic cigerrettes or probably ways I can not imagine at this point. I have heard kids say nicotine is the greatest drug and they will never stop using it. No one can legislate health or safety. People ski straight down the face of mountains. Race cars. Build planes out of parachute material. There will always be something to make illegal. The sad thing is that we are turning people into criminals because we don't like what they do. They cry is alway the children, but once they are adults they just become trash.
     People are spending there checks on cigerrettes and not paying for food for their kids. Yes you can push the price up to a hundred dollars a pack, but addicts can't stop, being addicted. I will always be addicted to cigerrettes, but I am not smoking even though I want to all the time. If anyone tells you different they are liar.
     The final part of this plan is simply to make cigerrettes illegal, but it will force it underground and create another market for illicit drug dealers. Are we prepare to add tobacco to the list of chemicals we are willing to pour billions of dollars into stoping the flow of. We can't stop Cocaine or heroin or meth right now. We tried this with alcohol and we got prohibition. We have gangs just as lethal as al cappone's in this country allready and more start every day. The prison are over filled now. They are releasing people to put other people in. It costs a a trillion dollars to pay for health care in the prison system. This is part of, what they call, the nondiscretinary spending.
     There are anti anything you can name groups and cigareetes are just the tip of the iceburg for people who want to control their neighbors because they can not control their anxiety and their owns circumstances without banning what they can't deal with. This started as a second hand smoke issue and has become what it was the the starttt a ban smoking movement and all smokers know this. They try to avoid smoking around people but that is not enough. They are being pushed slowly out of sight and it will go underground and the kids that smoke now will be the addicts of tomorrow and people will be saying send them to prison if they aren't allready.
                             Great going guys.

Muslims Are Unstable

2011-04-27T16:40:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaConstant murders by Muslims and the actions of Muslim leaders in the middle east point to mental illness in the Muslim Community. Their violent nature indicates that they have a basic genetic instability that makes them extremely dangerous.
      Authorities must begin to examine the mental stability of Muslims in every walk of life because their mental problems make them prone to commit violent acts. This is the problem that Western Countries face with people in the middle east who say they want democracy. There is just no way to know if these people are mentally stable. This is also basically at the bottom of all the Republicans concerns about the President's religion. They will not say it overtly, but they question whether the Presidents heritage makes him unstable too. Of course the President is quite healthy mentally and it is more likely that the Republicans need the mental exam due to their violent leanings.
     One only needs to look at the case of Gabrielle Giffords to know how unstable the Republicans and their followers are. Their standard approach is to reach for a gun before they consider sitting down to talk.
     Still the Republicans can't be blamed for wondering if Muslims are mentally ill. We have witnessed several incidences of Afghani's snapping and murdering American soldiers. This type of behavior makes one wonder if there is not a defective gene at work. Perhaps they should be studied to see if they have some kind of genetic problem that makes them more likely to commit violent acts. Of course this story will probably result in some king of mass mental break down, which results in violence by Muslims around the world.

The National Debt

2011-04-16T19:40:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia The National Debt has sky rocketed because Republican presidents decimated jobs in The United States. With every Republican president from Reagan on, the middle class has watched it's jobs disappear. Free trade sent American jobs to Japan. Then to Korea, China and India. Every job that went over seas shrank the tax base in the U.S. until the government had to borrow to pay the bills that taxes had once covered.
The U.S. lent Billions upon Billions of dollars to other countries and forgave their debt instead of collecting the money that had been lent. Tax payer money. When the government borrows, it borrows in your name. Republicans took us above the old debt limit and raised it. Their administrations account for over 10 trillion dollars in debt. Did Republicans care about you when they spent that money? Not hardly. They gave huge corporations tax breaks and allowed them to pay 0 tax on any money that they kept outside the U.S. If a tax payer does that it is tax evasion, but corporations can do that. They gave oil companies tax breaks to drill, so gas prices would stay low. Are your gas prices low? No! Because like everything the Republicans do it became a way to make them rich. Are you driving a limo? They are. They get tax free gas. They get free gas in Washington. I laugh at people who are not rich and are Republican, because they are dumb suckers. While the people they send to Washington are getting billions from big business, they think that the million dollars there town gets is a lot. The truth is, that is just what they spend on one commercial on network TV. Most Republicans are dumb ass hicks. They have no clue that the guy they sent to congress is set for life. Congress is a club and once you get in you get paid for life even if you screw everyone that voted for you, but Republicans have turned Congress into their own personal Swiss Bank accounts. They can raise Billions and if they don't get elected they get to keep it. Big oil and big business make sure that they get a ton of money to keep and when they don't get reelected, then they hire them. Do you see Carl Rove living next door to you? Hardly? Now there is no money to pay the bills because no one has a job. You can't collect taxes from people without jobs. Oh and where are those jobs? They are overseas, because that is what free trade is. Sending all the jobs over seas. How many people travel from India to eat in your restaurant. Not enough I bet. No jobs means no taxes which means a huge national debt. A huge national debt with no taxes means the dollar isn't worth a dime. The things you own are only worth what someone else will pay for it. That goes for the things that you sell too. No jobs means no one to buy it. Basically that means what you thought was worth something is worthless. That gold you bought, who is going to buy it. Who can afford it? Who will be able to afford it? As the cost of ever day living goes up, people can't afford as much, so there are less people to buy it. This is what happened with houses. When no one could afford houses any more, the suckers were left holding the houses. When no one can buy gold any more the suckers will own it. Who do you have to thank for all this? The Republicans, because they put the people who could buy your stuff out of work. Hope you have a restaurant in China, because that is where the buyers are.

Stock Market Will Tumble!

2011-04-11T17:15:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia      Those who know the market, know that it will tank within a month or so. The increase in the cost of gas will force Americans into bankruptcy in unprecedented numbers. Working Americans have already begun to see negative balances in their budgets, but the price of gas is, without a doubt, going to rise to five dollars a gallon. The oil companies are determined to hit this bench mark and hold gasoline at that price.
      Five dollar a gallon gasoline will result in the liquidation of retirement accounts, so that Americans can maintain their current standard of living. The price of houses will drop sharply again, when already cash strapped home owners can no longer afford to stay in their homes.
     The sell off of homes and stock will result in a stock market crash that will make the crash in the twenties look like a slight dip. This will result from millions of shares going up for sale at the same time and over a prolonged period of time. The number of shares for sale will be greater than the demand for stocks and prices will plummet. The value of companies will not be able to hold the price of their stock to more than ten percent of it's value or less. The market may stabilize shortly as companies buy back their own stock, but this will be short lived. The hand writing is on the wall.
     2012 may not be the end of the actual world, but it will be the end of the financial world in America. Politicians will not prevent this crash because they know that the value of the dollar must be lowered, so that the U.S. can pay down the national debt. It is imperative that the debt be payed down so that the country can get out from under the enormous debt it has. Only massive rates of inflation will make it possible for the nation to do this. The price of gold, copper, silver, and platinum will rise, but the price of oil and homes will actually fall because it will be to expensive for average Americans. This economic Tsunami will send stocks crashing around the world and countries that depend on American business or that hold American debt will be hit especially hard. Countries such as South Korea, Japan, and China, will feel the crunch especially hard when the demand for the products that they export dries up. Europe will be wracked by financial ruin as tourism evaporates.
     I predicted the recession that we entered in 2010 and I am warning you that this will dwarf it. It may be the worst economic crisis since countries began keeping economic statistics.

Republicans End Medicaire!

2011-04-06T17:09:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaRepublicans will vote to end Medicare for people below the age of fifty-five. This move will commit the children of future seniors to pay for their parents medical insurance or leave them uninsured. The Republican move will directly result in the death of millions of senior citizens who's children are unable to pay the cost of medical insurance for their parents.
     Republicans have decided that ending senior health care and care for the disabled including former military personnel is better than ending huge multi billion dollar tax break for oil companies like BP. The Republicans wish to see seniors simply die and go away. They tried to pass legalized euthanasia of seniors and failed so they will now reduce the senior population by denying them medical treatment. Veterans who receive Medicare benefits will lose their coverage in the proposal by the Republicans. The bottom line is that if you worked to build or defend this country you are now expendable.
     The elimination of Medicare will deny anyone who has paid into Medicare from ever collecting on it. Instead they will need to cash in their 401k's and IRAs to pay for their own health care when they retire and to pay for the health care of their parents. In a move meant to strip people of their financial independence Republicans have promised huge tax breaks to corporations and people who make over 1,000,000 dollars a year, paid for by what will be the end of the middle class in America and the end of health care for older members of their families.
     In addition to ending Medicare, Republicans will give the Medicare Tax to insurance companies and allow them to decide who and what they will cover. No health care will exist for some people over the age of 55 if an insurer decides that the person is to expensive to cover. This marks the end of Franklin Roosevelt's promise to take care of the people who built America. In a further move Republicans will eliminate care for the disabled including Veterans. It appears that Republicans can afford to sacrifice children in war, but can not afford to care for them when they come back injured. Veterans are a drain on the resources of the country according to Republicans and we can no longer afford to waste money on their health care.

Broken America

2011-03-06T19:29:00.000-08:00

Image via WikipediaIn this time of economic hopelessness there are some things that people need to know about our government and our country.
     Republicans have pledged to cut billions from the U.S. budget and I think that we have all heard that most of the budget can't be cut. Why? The fact is that most countries in the world hate the United States, so in order to get any kind of cooperation from most countries the U.S. has to pay them. Both Republicans and Democrats know that we are paying billions of dollars, so that countries will not do things that are against our interest, or so that they will buy our products, or let our products be sold there, or to control who they allow to travel to our country. This is not a small amount of money it is 100 of billions of dollars. Add to that the billions we send to countries in weapons and humanitarian aide and the world is getting payed.
     The U.S. government and Congress know that we can no longer afford to pay these countries billions and billions of dollars, but they are being blackmailed by those same countries to continue paying. Neither the Government or the Congress have the guts to say no. They don't have the guts to tell countries that if they don't buy our goods we won't lat theirs into the United States. The government inability to say no to other countries has directly resulted in the flow of American jobs out of the United States.
     Companies that are based in the U.S. need to be able to stamp made somewhere else on their products so they can export them to other countries, because U.S. goods are not welcome in most countries in the world. These companies have moved the manufacturing of products to China, India, and Mexico, so they can stamp made in those countries on their labels. If they don't do that, they can't sell their products in other countries, because Made In America is not welcome there.
      The Depression we are having (it's not a recession), is directly linked to the fact that ours goods aren't allowed to be made here. American workers are out of work, because only Americans can buy goods that are truly Made In America. The fact is that since Americans can't buy enough junk, we have no economy. We can't manufacture our way out of this economic Apocalypse, because most goods are not made here. Our factories are not hiring here, because nothing is made here. Goods are being shipped directly to other countries, so they don't create jobs here. All the jobs that come from warehouses and shipping American goods will never come back because they don't exist any more. What the government doesn't want to tell you is that 13,000,000 people are Shit Out of Luck if they want to work. Those jobs are gone forever and retraining programs are only a way to cover that fact up.

The Republican Vision

2011-01-25T20:10:00.000-08:00

Image via WikipediaThe Republican vision is the same insanity that sent every manufacturing job in the Midwest and on the east coast to China. There answer to the problem of no jobs is to allow companies to do whatever they want. Well, we saw what those companies wanted. They wanted to send our jobs to India, China, Thailand, Vietnam and Mexico. We watched this country bleed jobs overseas. Surprise there are no jobs. The tax breaks the Republicans gave them to send the jobs overseas had nothing to do with that, Right?
     It is amazing how articulate they can be when they lie to the country. They sold us out. Free trade allowed countries to send all their products here and make them some where else. It allowed other countries to dump products on us by the ship load around the clock, but what it did not do, is make those countries buy American Made Products. They fail to mention that all last year Korea bought less than 100 American cars. How many did they sell here. Look around. How many Hyundai's and Kia's do you see on the road. This the real deal behind free trade. Jobs for them and go screw yourself to American Products. The Republicans totally support this policy. Their donors are getting rich off it, while you are getting unemployed.
     The only thing that kept The United States from tanking was grow. That was fueled by your credit cards. You bought and businesses expanded. Now that you are trying to pay off your debt, there is no one to buy, because no other countries will let our products in. Republicans didn't see the amount of debt your house hold was in as a problem. They opposed lowering interest rates on credit cards. They still oppose that. They oppose anything that would put a dollar in your pocket. Millionaires however can get tax cuts at will. Corporations can send their money to countries where there is no income tax and pay no taxes. Can you do that? Yes you can? That's right you can avoid paying income tax on your your money. How? Become a Corporation/ You'll need to pay a fee and get a good accountant, but you can pay no taxes on money you make outside your job.
     Did the Republicans tell you that? Don't think so. It is a closely guarded secret. Bet your Congressman has done it and your Senator too.
     Yes those Republicans are on your side. They are going to cut the budget. First cut. Eliminate the Department of Education. Result your kids isn't getting financial aide for college. Get your wallet out, because you are paying the full ride when they done.

Democrat Shot! Are Republicans Responsible?

2011-01-09T16:03:00.000-08:00

Perhaps today we have see the result of Republican hate speak. Democrat Gabrielle Gifford was gunned down in a town hall meeting. The second attack on her since Sarah Palin placed cross hairs on her district. It would seem that this was only a matter of time.
Republicans have misused their right to "Freedom of Speech to create a unprecedentedly hostile atmosphere in the political scene. No matter how much they run away from their words they can not escape, at least some responsibility for the shooting of the Democratic Congresswoman. I have spoken before about the this issue in the past and I predicted that this would occur. Republicans denied that they were creating an atmosphere where people would get killed, but they continued their irresponsible attacks.
It may be my opinion, but they may not have pulled the trigger, but they loaded the gun. I only hope that this will serve as a lesson to them to shut there mouths and do the business of The United States.

Republicans Back Anti U.N. Candidate

2010-11-01T16:08:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaRepublicans deperately want Sharon Angle to win in her senate race, even though she wants to withdraw from the U.N. The new Republican Congress is shaping up to be a battle zone between people who want to dismantle every government agency and thos who simply want power in the Republican Party.
     The destruction that these people will do once they get in office is going to be a wide swath that leaves children without schools, Social Security subject to the whims of Wall Street traders and more jobs going to China.
     In a disastrous step N.Y.'s public pension fund were gambled in the stock market. The result was the decimation of the pension fund and a massive budget crisis when the state was forced to make up for the losses. But the Wall Street Brokers made billions off investing that money, while the poor state workers watched there pension fund drop like a rock.
     For years the Republicans controlled the N.Y. State Senate and the result was budget deficits that are driving the state the brink of bankruptcy. Kinda like the legacy of George Bush. Now the state is facing the specter of releasing criminals from prison, raising taxes, and borrowing billions of dollars. This is what privatizing gets you and it will deep six Social Security for everyone from 30 and above.
     The Republicans want to cut Medicare coverage. The fact is that at age 60 insurance companies don't want to keep you on their rolls. They cancel those people and Medicare is the only safety net that exist from pay out of your own pocket. At the rate medical expenses are rising only Bill Gates and a few others will have that luxury after they retire.

Republicans Cut taxes for people with $40,000,000,000,000

2010-10-31T16:52:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaThe Republicans want to cut taxes for people at the top %5 in the U.S. They tell you these people are suffering and may leave. The fact is that between them they are worth 40 trillion dollars. That is more than the whole national debt. They had their income taxes cut by Bush and their net worth sky rocketed. In the mean time the Republican President and Congress began borrowing billions around the world, including China. You may want jobs and change, but what you will get is another tax cut for these people.
The reason the middle class tax cut was not passed is because Republicans held the middle class tax cut hostage to the trillionaire tax cut. These people are hiring illegal aliens like the former head of EBAY, who is also a billionaire. Rich people are greedy and they hire cheap labor. That is why they have foreigners for gardeners and nannys and maid. Foreigners who don't have documentation.
Do you think they are going to give you a job? Didn't think so. You have been sucked in and are about to learn a hard lesson. Rich people donate to Republican campaigns and run ads for them, because they own them and they know their taxes will go down and your will go up.

Republicans The Two Faces

2010-10-28T16:53:00.000-07:00

Image by Getty Images via @daylife     People who think they are going to prove a point by voting Republican are going get some real shocks. The Republicans are going to push a social agenda that will turn retired people out on the streets. They say that they want budget cuts, but not where they will cut. Their cuts will be in Medicare and Social Security, but they will cut taxes for millionaires even more than Bush.
     All the other cuts that they propose will not add up to ten billion dollars. In the mean time they want to do away with taxes for tens of millions of people as well as corporations. This will result in more borrowing than ever.
     They voted against the defense bill to fund the troops in Afghanistan, but support continuing that war indefinitely. The support stiffer enforcement of the border, but their policies have sent millions of weapons to drug lords in Mexico. Now those same drug lords have spread their crime families to cities all over the United States and they brought those weapons with them.
     They oppose abortion and stem cell research. They want to give the government more power to search people and watch them. They support profiling. If you think the government is in your business now you've seen nothing yet.
     It's really smart to shoot yourselves in the head, because you are mad at someone else. This goes to show the lack of education in the United States. Even the smartest people are dumber than the dumbest senior. All because we used to get a real education in school. Passing was 75 and there were no tutors.
     Right, now the Republicans are running around repeating what you are saying, but once they are in office, George Bush's old policies will come back to haunt you.

Image via WikipediaRepublican Rand Paul stood by while his supporters knocked a woman to the floor and stood on her head, because she was opposed to their views. He called the incident unfortunate.
Well, you can see how motivated the Republican base is, when they will attack women. Calling it unfortunate is just about as wishy washy as one can get. It would seem that this was a bit more serious than the word unfortunate conveys. Of course the police didn't investigate, even though they had it on camera. As usual it is OK for Republicans to beat people, but there would be ads on nationwide if it was a Republican. They would edit fake blood in and put it up on flicker and utube. Of course they are backed by companies that don't pay taxes. Do any Republicans pay taxes. So far there are two here in N.Y. running who don't. Wonder how many others there are. People who think they are better than working people. Wall Street and the insurance companies are backing them.

Nazi Party Supports Republicans (not True)

2010-10-22T17:30:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaI thought I would use this headline to demonstrate what ads are allowed to say. Of course it's not true, but if you saw this trash, you would only remember the headline. Americans are lost. They don't know the truth about the people running for any office and ads can say anything. It doesn't have to be true.
     Here is one fact. Jobs are headed to India and China. You better find out fast where your candidate stands on that issue, because companies don't keep the majority of their money in U.S. banks. They aren't American. They are international. Just go on the web and look. Every big company has an international sight. Why is this important.
     It is important, because those companies do not depend on the U.S. for anything. The U.S. is just another place to do business. If China were Democratic they would move there in a heartbeat and they will if the climate there changes. Communism doesn't bother them. All they want is a stable country that will let them do whatever they want. If they get that they are gone and the government has given them the right to call themselves American even if they did.
      Candidates can lie and twist facts in their ads legally. There is no honesty in politics law. If you don't find out the facts for yourself, you are not going to know the truth. In this year, they are going to draw the new lines for the voting districts in each state. If you pick the candidates that want free trade, jobs will continue to go over seas for the next ten years, because that is when the next census will be. After each census the lines are redrawn. Find out the facts and vote to save your job. Fast food places do not pay a living wage.

They Don't Pay Taxes

2010-10-21T16:37:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaWith all the Republican commercials, you would think big business is paying huge taxes. They know the real truth though. Many big businesses (such as Google) pay no taxes. None! Zero, Zilch!
     How can they do that? they send their money from country to country until they find a county with no income tax, so they pay nothing. This practice is completely legal.
     Those commercials that yell about high taxes and a huge deficit, they run as Republicans take huge contributions from big business. Nothing wrong with that, right? Well they borrowed a half a trillion dollars from China instead of making corporations pay taxes. The told us they had to borrow money because of the war. Well that is a flat out lie. It is because big business doesn't pay taxes.
     Why do we have a deficit, because George Bush's Republican Congress let these companies go with out paying taxes. Google it! They just ran the national debt up so that we would have to pay the bill. Imagine you are voting for people who are going to continue to block these huge corporations from paying a trillion dollars in income tax. Have fun paying that bill.

Bush Re elected

2010-10-18T15:19:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaWell, the elections are over and George Bush and Karl Rove are secretly running Congress. You voted them in. You thought the tea party was something new, but now you know that Sarah Palin is a front for Karl Rove and George Bush. You know the tea party is just Karl Roves lackeys and that the Republicans created the tea party to suck you into voting again.
     So, in a few months Enron will go back into business and Bernie Madoff will get out of prison. Pardoned by Sarah Palin. The banks that you are so mad at are back to selling worthless mortgages. Everything is back to the way it was and there are still no jobs, because, as Suzy Orman just announced, the old economy is not coming back.
     In a couple months the Chinese will be back to work making products for their people, because they are the only ones that can afford to buy. You will be asking your self why there are no jobs. Suddenly you will realize that U.S. companies are making products in China for the new super power the Chinese. After a few more months the Republicans will be telling us how good things are, because the stock market has come back. You will wonder when you will see the recovery they promised. In a year they will tell you that you need to elect Sarah Palin to have that happen. In the mean time people on unemployment will have been cut off. They will be living in shelters and realizing that their votes elected people who didn't care about the unemployed.
     The Republicans will balance the budget by going back to China to borrow more money, because the half trillion they borrowed from the Chinese before was not enough to fund the war in Afghanistan, which will continue another ten years.
     Give yourselves a pat on the back for eliminating wasteful spending like money for education. Start learning Chinese, because they are going to own your mortgage. You thought you were voting against socialism, but you were voting to bring Communism here. Great Job!

Republican's Want Bush Back

2010-10-14T16:23:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia If you listen to everything the Republicans say, you will probably come to the same conclusion as I did. The Republicans want George W. Bush back. He and Karl Rove are anxious to be big players in the next Republican Administration. Never mind that they sent more jobs out of the country than were created in the eight years he was in office. Oh and forget about the fact that he created a $900,000,000,000 (billion) dollar defecit that was closed by borrowing from Red China.
     The same country that condemned the fact that The Nobel Peace Prize winner was a chinese man that wanted ( oh my God) democracy in China. By the way that guy is in jail in China.
     For those of you that would like to know the extent that Bush desimated the economy, here is the wikkipedia link for his economic policy. You can read for yourself the damage he did.
     Thank You to the Republican Party for supporting every bad decision he made and Kudos to the Republican House and Senate that passed every bill he sent to them. The Republicans may also be trying to block web postings.

National Kill A Terrorist Month

2010-10-13T21:15:00.000-07:00

Perhaps people have forgotten about the perverse be headings that Fundamentalist Muslim Terrorists carried out or maybe the memory of 9/11 has faded, but whatever it is, Americans have put money before people. You don't reduce the deficit by allowing these people to run free.
     There should be a national kill a terrorist day or maybe a terrorist hunting season. They should sell licenses to kill terrorist just like they sell hunting licenses. We need to reduce the terrorist population.
     The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. Get what he knows and chop off his most prized possession and shoot him. I hear that burying them face down is bad so lets do that too. We don't need to torture them. We only need to make sure that we erase them and theirs off the face of the earth.
     Israel has had very few problems with terrorist since they took the proactive approach. They simply shoot them. Why don't we? If a guy says he's a jihadist or for jihad. Kill him.. If he's not a terrorist he is breeding them or recruiting them.
     These people have no faces until they set off the bomb with a call to the cell attached to it, or them, or someone else. These people are nothing less than murdering scum and it should be legal to kill them and throw them in the back of the pick up and have them made into trophies. We have the right to shoot pirates on the open sea. They are no different. The same goes for anyone that hides them or sends money to them. Anyone that supports them is a terrorist. Americans that help or join them should be charged with high treason and killed after they are questioned. Keeping them alive encourages their buddies to kidnap people to get them back.
     The news should announce how many of them our soldiers killed every night. They announce our casualties. Let's get a body count, so we know how many are left. Maybe a board that counts down from the number of estimated terrorist down to zero. They should put that up on the jumbo tron in Time Square. Every town should have one. There is no better way to send the message that we are killing them than to have a board in every town. Let soldiers notch their m-16's as a motivator. Football teams put decals on players helmets for good plays. Lets put decals every where.
     We are not bad enough. We need to strike terror into their souls. Make them watch where they step and make them scan the sky's and over their shoulders. Let's send some B 52s over there to cut down on their mobility. I guarantee that raining 500 lb bombs around them will give them something to think about day and night. It's time to take off the kid gloves and kill them in the most efficient way and with the least amount of danger to our troops. We should send people into their cities to kill them like the Israelis did. Find their backers kill them and repeat the process.
     All this girlie stuff about not offending people who are training to kill us here and abroad should end. Tell the people who aren't with them to stay away from them and let's get this done. We need to kill as many as we can, because they are training to come here. There is no maybe they will leave us alone... They won't. The logical thing is to eradicate them.
     Let rich people fly over on hunting expeditions. Send some serial killers over there. Just make sure they get the right people. The prisons are full. Let's give them back their assault weapons and turn them loose on the terrorists. Kill 100 get a year off your sentence. Heck two years. Let's make them wonder if their families are safe while they strap those bombs on. That is how you influence people who are being told that their families will live great lives if they explode themselves. You make them wonder if their families will be the game in a hunting party.
     They think mercy is for the weak, so let's not show them any.
     Let's let people rent F-18 Hornets and predators to fund the war. Millionaires will pay to go to the moon, so why not pay to fly a mission. I hear flying those drones is just like a video game. We need to build about ten thousand of them and let the gamers fly them. The ultimate video game.

Pakistan Steps up Aid to Enemy

2010-10-07T16:48:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaIn a move that seems to be directed toward aiding AL Queda and the Taliban, Pakistan has closed one of the main supply routes into Afghanistan. Pakistan has been far from an ally to the U.S. It is the center of fundamentalism in the region and it allows terrorist to openly train with inside it's borders. Their secret intelligence service is and has been linked to terrorist for over a decade. Pakistan is clearly a hostile nation.
      At this point it would be best to cut all ties to Pakistan and cut the military funding we have given them out of the budget. When a nation allows attacks from with in their borders on Americans they become a terrorist nation. It is time we closed our borders to Pakistanis and give them what they so desperately desire, our back. They have no use for the U.S. and aiding them is the equivalent of sending aide to North Vietnam and The VietCong during The Vietnam War. Let them have a militant take over of their country. At least we will have visible targets for our missiles.
     Reagan said it best. You don't make friends with your enemies you kill them. Pakistan is an Evil Empire to steal Reagan's words about The Soviet Union. It is insanity to send humanitarian aide to the same people that are training the terrorist that are trying to kill us in our homes.
     They have shown their true colors now. They want to keep supplies from reaching our troops, so that the militants can kill Americans and turn Afghanistan back into the launching pad for 9/11 style attacks on the U.S. It is a pity that the U.S. has a hire standard than these animals that crawl through caves to kill our soldiers and send people to bomb Time Square, because if we didn't we could simply use chemical weapons on them and have it done and over with.
     That is what you do with pests you call in the exterminators tent the house and gas them. That is no less than what they would do to us if they gained access to nuclear devices. We can no longer take the risk that these maniacs will get a device from Iran or God forbid Pakistan and plant it in NYC. Obama has held true to his statement that he would chase the terrorist into Pakistan and kill them if Pakistan did not have the will or the ability to deal with them. If Pakistan wanted the terrorist out I guarantee you they would not be operating openly in Pakistan. More over, they would not be the headquarters of the terrorists organizations and the staginging grounds for attacks.
     The facts are crystal clear here. Pakistan doesn't have the will or the desire to see the terrorist leave.

2012 Hoax or Destiny

2010-10-05T18:04:00.000-07:00

Image by joiseyshowaa via FlickrMost people are not ready to meet God. If 2012 isn't the end, it will come. There will be floods and earthquakes and tidal waves. Maybe people will survive. It is pretty hard to wipe out the human race.
     The question is; if it's the end for you, would you say your life was satisfying. Would you say that you made a difference in the world? Would you say that you are able to look God in the eye and tell him that you deserve to get in heaven. For those who believe in reincarnation; Do you believe you will have a good reincarnation in your next life.
     I can't answer those questions for you. Death comes in it's own time. It can come as sudden as a heart attack or a crash. You better not put things off for later. Later may never come. People who have lost children know that. There may not be time to make up with that person you love tomorrow. All those good intentions you had for the new year may see the clock run out on them. The new year might not come for you. If 9/11 didn't teach you anything, it should have taught you that tomorrow isn't something to take for granted. If you don't pay it forward it might not get paid at all.
     Even if 2012 isn't the end, maybe you should start living like it is the end.

Education, The Real Deal

2010-09-28T17:29:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia     One of the three R's is racism. It isn't accidental that minorities don't do as well as white students. Economics are just a good way to cover up prejudice.
     When a teacher says it is all about the kids and in the same sentence complains they don't make enough money, which do you think they care about more. The rallying call is always the kids, but it's all about their agenda.
      The excuse " we have the neediest kids", is a cop out. Teachers use this excuse to explain why half the kids can't read, write, or do math. The fact is that if you translate this into every day language, it means don't expect needy kids to learn. Don't expect a child who lives in poverty to succeed. It isn't likely they will. Who do you think they spend their time teaching.
    Testing is not a fair way to measure how kids are doing in school. In elementary school kids are no longer tested, so they either sink or swim when they are given a standardized test. We shouldn't have to teach kids so they can pass a test. Maybe the reason that these kids drop out of middle school and high school is that they use testing there.
     When a kid comes into school, they have already heard that they aren't likely to succeed if their population source hasn't been succeeding historically. Kids talk. Bigger kids talk to younger kids. Brothers and sisters talk. The bottom line is that they know what the expectations are for them when they walk into kindergarten. The whole education system has spent decades broadcasting this message to generations of kids. Surprise we have illiterate,kids who don't have math skills.
     For decades we have sent the message that we have low expectations for certain populations of kids. Teachers know which kids they have to spend their time on to keep their jobs.
     I spent thirteen years in education and I can tell you about teachers who handed kids books and said read this and do it. I can tell you about the odd teacher who did her clothes shopping while a teaching assistant watched the kids. I can tell you a hell of a lot more too.
     Teachers are paid what they are worth. Actually more than they are worth for the number of kids that actually leave school prepared to go on to college. What would you pay an employee that had a 46% success rate. Oh that's right they couldn't keep a job with you.
     The old trick of trotting out ten good teachers to show that they are persecuted doesn't cut it any more. For those ten I bet they could trot out a thousand that couldn't house train their cats. Let alone, educate a child.
     We spend upwards of a trillion dollars a year on a basic college prep education. Over the years we have thrown good money after bad while people who home school their kids seem to succeed more often and get better result with out any tax dollars. There is definitely a problem when someone who has their own income to educate their kids can get better results than a system that spends so much. Of course we have to have stadiums for the kids to play sports and money for uniforms. A winning sports program obviously out weighs a real education.
     Lets hand them more money it has worked so well.

Bury Your Heads (Economics 101)

2010-09-08T16:37:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaIf you listen to the Republican message in this election year carefully, it seems to be, bury your head and do nothing. This is a very interesting proposal. After 8 years of George W. Bush's fantasy policies and life of denial, the Republicans want to try that policy again. It seems they think that Bernie Madoff wasn't such a bad investor after all. Why not leave the Wall street Banks and Money Advisers go back to business in the Bush years?
     On Afghanistan, they propose widening the war. Isn't that a good idea. Send 800,000 more troops to Afghanistan and win. Of course, there is no real government in Afghanistan and the country is run by drug lords outside Kabul, but those are minor details. Just throw money at the problem. Bush did that in Iraq and borrowed from the Chinese to pay for it. It didn't matter that the Chinese were financing the enemy by sending our money to Iran to buy weapons. This was a good policy and we should follow it in Afghanistan.
     Tax cuts to millionaires is also a great idea. Never mind that 9.5 million people have no income, let's make sure the rich can buy more gold. Why should they have to hide their income in Switzerland or the Caymans. Those poor people might have to cut back on their staffs in the French Riviera or the illegal aliens that garden and take care of their kids. Which, by the way, is the reason Republicans oppose immigration reform. All those millionaires would have to pay minimum wage. God forbid that.
     The government is spending too much money is the battle cry. OK during the Bush years, the Republicans threw money away faster than the twin towers fell. Didn't that happen when Bush was president. Oh well no matter.. Bush inherited a balanced budget from Clinton and in eight years he and the Republican Congress nuked it out of existence. Should we try that policy again? Are you willing to go for a one trillion dollar deficit every 6 months? Think back folks.
     Now even the Republicans hate the Republicans. All those Tea Party people are Republicans and conservatives.
     By all means vote Republican or don't vote all. Things can't get any worse. Right? Just because the Stock Market dropped to 8000 points by the time the Republicans were through last time doesn't mean it will happen again. Besides you own gold. Don't you. Oh well tough if you don't. Retire to the projects.
     Yes. I think doing nothing is a great strategy. You are keeping all those people in the unemployment offices employed. How is your city doing financially. We had one just close right up. Who's taxes are going to pay for those problems? Are you a millionaire who can afford to move to where the money is? All you need to do is sell that house and buy a new one. Oh I forgot you can't. The housing market dropped 27 percent last month.
     Well have nice life.

Politics Equals Gridlock

2010-09-07T16:41:00.000-07:00

No mater what party you belong to it's time to understand that politics is keeping anything from getting done.
     Republicans and Democrats in office spend all their time trying not to offend people. It doesn't matter if the sky falls they will always spend the majority of their time raising money for campaigns and avoiding votes on anything that will anger their constituency. Nothing is getting done because neither side wants to do anything except get reelected, so they can be treated special. They are so immature that they can not stand the thought of being treated like we are.
     Elections are not about who will improve people's lives, they are about whether your elected official feels special.
     From the dog catcher , to the governor, to the White House (Democrat or Republican) politics has become about who can get a free ride for life. You are the lowest priority on their lists. They lie to you continuously and you are to busy to check their stories. You vote for them over and over and get the same result over and over. That result is never good either. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over, getting a negative result, and expecting that that will change.
     People you need a reality check. From the bible belt to liberal San Francisco things are bad. Your choices in representatives are not changing and neither is our situation. The fact is that electing someone who will not do anything you don't like, tells elected officials one thing; Don't do anything. For decades they haven't been doing anything. If your a Republican, you know they don't want to do anything. They keep telling you they don't.
     If you expect things to change you should be checking yourself into the hospital for psychological evaluation. You sent the message that you didn't want anyone to do anything to change anything from the dog catcher to the White House. Any one who tries to do anything doesn't get reelected. America has sent the message not in my back yard and it has been heard. Business has moved over seas to get away from you. You aren't worth the money you cost them trying to satisfy you. Americans don't want to work. All they want is a job that allows them to pretend and get paid. Politicians know this, so they have let all the companies move.
     Americans don't like stores near them, so people built malls and strip malls far away from them. Americans have said no to so many things no one even asks any more.
     By the way the only people who get paid to do nothing are local, county, state, and federal employees.
     Businesses have figured out that they had a hell of a lot of people that didn't work and they don't miss them.
     No matter who you elect on election day, you can count on one thing, they won't do anything, but eat on your dime and continue to run for reelection until they are set for life.

Republicans Propose Plan to End The Recession!

2010-09-06T19:48:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaToday Republicans announced their strategy to fix the broken economy. In a press release they unveiled the greatest plan in history.
     They propose to cut taxes for the4 highest one percent of income earning to rates that are one tenth of the rates that people making one hundred thousand or less pay now. They consider this a key to bringing back the economy. Their belief is that these people will begin to buy again, which in their view would create one million jobs. To make up for the loss of revenue from the highest one percent, they propose a federal sales tax of eight percent, to be applied to all products including food, gasoline, and many other necessities.
     Part two of the proposal is to eliminate taxes on companies making over ten million dollars if the hire people back at minimum wage. Their theory is that seven dollars and some odd sense is better than paying unemployment for nine point five million people. The companies will be exempt from providing benefits for the people who are hired under this program. They will also have an exemption from paying overtime.
     Republicans estimate that this will bring in 100,000,000,000 billion dollars in revenue for the reduction of the federal budget deficit. They also expect that companies will reduce their cost by sixty percent, which will be an incentive to begin production again.
     The third part of the proposal is to change banking regulations so that lenders can foreclose on home owners with out going to court. The lenders will decide based on people's credit scores when to foreclose on home owners. This proposal would end the practice that people have of stripping their houses before the bank can take possession, since home owners would have a week to move. It would also encourage banks to lend again, because they would have the ability to re coupe their money before a home owner defaulted.
      The final part for the proposal is to issue new money across the nation. The new currency would be bought at a rate of 5 dollars for every new dollar. This would reduce the national debt by a trillion dollars over time.
     If the Republicans did have a plan this would probably be it, but they don't have a plan. Their plan is to say no to every solution that is proposed, so they can win the White House in the next presidential election with the help of the tea party. A party they have no intention of satisfying in any way.

Buy Chinese Support al Queda

2010-08-29T16:15:00.000-07:00

Image via WikipediaChina sends money to several countries that provide direct support to al queda. Iran, Somalia, and several other Middle Eastern and African countries. Every time you buy a Chinese product you are funding al queda's attacks on American soldiers. The U.S. government will not speak openly of China's support for terrorists. It is a subject they don't want Americans to be aware of.
China attacks our computers thousands of times a day and they have gained access to military secrets. It is possible that they are passing those secrets on to al queda. In fact it is probable that U.S. soldiers have died because of information that China has supplied to terrorists.
It is time to stand up and fight for our soldiers. The United States should completely end it's business dealings with China and file suit against China in the International Courts for supporting terrorism. The policy of talking to China has allowed China time to spread murder and mayhem all over the world. The only thing the Chinese understand are missiles targeted on Beijing. It is time that we speak their language.

Beck Is No King

2010-08-27T16:20:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia     It's amazing that a man who has called The President a racist can stand on the same ground as the greatest civil rights leader's most famous speech on it's anniversary. If anything it shows the tolerance of the Obama Administration for the haters that back the Republican Party.
     Make no mistake, when these men speak, there is always a target. Someone or something that they can point people's hate towards. It's nothing new. Hitler fumed the hate of the German people with words of hate for the Jews and Radical Islamic Clerics fuel the hate of Islamic Terrorists with words of hate for America.
     Hate is a powerful weapon and when it is wrapped in an American flag it seems to be justified, even acceptable. If you throw in a background of bald eagles and patriotic pictures it becomes hypnotizing. Especially during these times, when people are looking for a road out of a terrible depression. It was actually bad economic times that gave Hitler the opportunity to rise to power in Germany.
     People should understand that strong emotions can motivate us to do great things or terrible things. Hate disguised as love is still hate. This country is not about race. It is about people who came together from around the world to embrace a way of life that accepts people for who and what they are. A country that has seen immigrants shed their blood, to fight for it, in war after war for a way of life that is different from any other country. It seems that some people believe that those men and women died so they could use them as a back drop for hateful words. The truth is they died, so that people would have the freedom to live normal lives in an extraordinary country. No matter how bad you have it in America, it is better than many other nations.

Jobs Going Going Gone. The Real Deal

2010-08-17T17:43:00.000-07:00

Rush Limbaugh via last.fm

The Republicans have very convenient memories. The strange thing is that they believe their own lies. It simply amazes me that they can slap a different label on themselves every four years and people believe they have changed. Maybe it's because half their constituency only know Rush Limbaugh's talk show and Fox News Network. Any one who listens exclusively to those can be excused for being a brain washed idiot. But for those of you that can actually change the channel, here is the real deal.

Bill Clinton left office with a balanced budget and a plan to reduce the national debt in place. A moron could have gone into office and the debt would have gone down. Hell we could have elected a chimp and got those results, but instead we got George Bush both versions. Good old George decided that a good economy was not good enough. He needed to create a super economy. To that end he and the rest of the Republicans stopped regulating the economy and just turned it loose like a bad tempered pit bull. Anything went during the Bush administration. Good old fashioned greed was allowed to over rule common sense. They paid companies to take the jobs to China and India and proclaimed that the American economy could sustain itself on borrowed money.

People are fairly stupid now days, so they figured that the borrowing would just keep going on forever. They took out second mortgages, paid their credit cards and started borrowing all over again. After all if the government is telling you it's safe, why wouldn't they? The Republicans borrowed money hand over fist for George Bush. It got to the point where they couldn't borrow in Europe, so they borrowed from China. They let tons of toxic products into our country to keep the Chinese happy and gave banks the freedom to sell any thing that wasn't nailed down. All this and guess what, it came time to pay the bills.

When it's time to pay the bills everyone stops spending. When that happens people lose their jobs. Luckily for Bush and his buddies they got to move to Texas and hide out while everyone else was left to fix the problem. He's probably hunting on some billionaires estate as we speak. Republicans always seem to be living high off the hog, even when we can't afford a pork chop. Now ladies and gentlemen comes the kicker.

Ten million jobs are gone forever. The ones that are not because of down sizing, are gone because the Republicans sent them tied up in a bow to second world nations. Why? Because their buddies in business wanted to pay ten cents an hour to have someone to do your job. Want a job? Move to China. They are hiring.

If you need to know if this is true, just call for tech support and see if you can understand it. If you want a real laugh listen to the telemarketers. You need a translator to figure out what they are selling.

The next time the Republicans say they are worried about the budget, remember it's not your budget they are worried about. It's the budget of some guy from China who is paying for their campaign's or the budget of some billionaire that might have to hire an American to work for him instead of that guy that gets ten cents a day.

The Big Spill And The Big Cover Up

2010-07-04T15:52:00.000-07:00

The oil spill in The Gulf is filling the ocean with crude and the states there seem be looking at The Federal Government for answers. For decades oil companies have been drilling there and those state have collected Billions in royalties year after year for the oil that was pumped. We have paid for decades for the high price of oil. Our money went to the oil companies and straight into the pockets of those states, but it would seem that not one penny of that money went into protecting their citizens from this type of catastrophe.
It is sickening to me that a small group of people in those state made millions of dollars a year off oil, and yet some of those states have the greatest number of dirt poor people in the country. It sickens me more that those people can afford to move away from the sludge and leave those people with a polluted mess. A mess that will never be cleaned up.
Now the oil is predicted to move up the east coast. If that happens it will destroy the beaches of states that never saw a penny of the royalties for drilling. The same states that are crying now are going to send us there environmental disaster. We all know this story, greed leads to circumstances that leave average people holding the bag. Average people who can't afford to move to the west coast or fly to the French Riviera to swim in clean water.
No one wants to point fingers in the government, at the people and the states that ignored potential disaster in order to line their pockets with cold cash. Those people don't have to take responsibility for their apathy toward the dangers of drilling in the ocean. The only people who tried to preserve the ocean were the environmentalists and they were labeled tree huggers by the people and states where they filed suit to prevent such disasters.
If the oil companies have had a free ride it is because of politicians from those same states, that used all their influence to make it possible for offshore drilling to begin. They pressured the government to allow drilling in the name of energy independence. The independence never happened. More than thirty years after the oil embargo we are still begging the middle east for oil. The states that are not lucky enough to have oil flowing under them, have gotten the short end of the stick for fifty years while the oil people and the oil states raped us.
Now we are about to be raped again, but this time, with millions of barrels of oil. Oil that supposedly didn't exist in such large quantities. Lost in all the suffering that is happening to average people, is the fact that one well can spew out enough oil to fill the gulf. It's a lie that they continue to try to invoke even as the oil from that well covers the coastline of the gulf. While you are watching this tragedy you should keep in mind that there is a hell of a lot of oil coming out of that well. You should also keep in mind that there are a hell of a lot of wells out there. Finally you should realize that we have been bending over and taking it for decades because there was an oil shortage. I think that by the time this is over we will all be able to prove that the only oil shortage there is, is the one that came from the conspiracy that exists to bleed us dry.

Armageddon

Is this the beginning of the end of times? "The oceans ran red..." A war in the middle east. It may not be a sign of the end of times, but it could, and probably will be a time of unprecedented disaster for mankind.

The world will not end for a long time, but it may continue without the presence of human life. The human race is committing slow suicide. The food that we rely on has been turned into processed meals that are not healthy for us. More and more food is being contaminated and recalled. Life expectancy will fall because of diseases that were once thought to be extinct.

Man has done it's self no favors over the past 100 years. We have changed the climate and released poison's into our water. We have poisoned the land with fertilizers that are only now beginning to show their effects. We accept Mercury levels in fish and water.

Few people pay attention to government standards and guidelines, but they should. In the case of food, water, and the majority of thing that people come into contact with, the government has basically set the amounts of poisonous substances a element can contain. These standards exist in all of the developed countries, but vary by Government.

I find it very amusing that people who are attached to a cell phone which exposes them to low levels of radiation worry whether cigarette smoke is within twenty yards of them. It is simply amazing that they can be so ignorant as to place a miniature microwave oven against their ear and worry about second hand smoke outside. I also find it sad that people who are ten seconds away from a stroke because of their weight and stress levels worry about who is wearing a seat belt (I Wear Mine Religiously). The fact is that, though seat belts and air bags reduce injuries, a seat belt and air bag is not going to save you if you get into an accident on a snow covered road in an SUV going seventy. It's not going to prevent you from keeling over dead from blocked arteries either.

Millions of people have Google. I suggest you google the top ten causes of death. You will get an eye opener.

The end of the world? A meteorite doesn't have to hit to end life for humans, we are doing a great job of ending it ourselves.

Final Quiz: If people begin to die at age 21 due to lack of medical care; How long will it take for humans to go extinct?

Land of The Heartless

America has never cared.
Americans have a distorted view of themselves. They think that they are good and caring people. It isn't their fault. The press has brainwashed them in to their beliefs.
If you would donate a dollar to a dog before a person, you are a sad excuse for a human being. It is disgusting that an animal actually has more rights than a person. It is immoral that the law favors an animals living conditions than a humans. I love animals and I don't support cruelty or mistreatment. I had cats my whole life and they were like family. My aunt had a dog she took everywhere and we all loved him. The fact is though that when a person can kill another person and get a lower sentence than someone who kills an animal, there is something very wrong in America. When people watch the news and see reports of murders and are not moved, but are moved by the death of an animal we have hit an all time low. If the words he got what he deserved or he made a bad choice pass your lips to explain the death of a person, there is something very wrong. Do pets make bad choices. I don't think I've heard anyone say that.
We have mistreated each other since this country was founded. African Americans were slaves, but many immigrants came here as indentured servants also. Every new group of immigrants have been the subject of some kind of prejudice. Americans feel that people who come here from abroad should have been born speaking English. If we were treated the same way we treated people from other countries there would be an International incident. These are facts, but America has hit a new low in it's hard heartiness.
I have heard the statement; It doesn't effect me so many times that i am ashamed. This statement is used to dismiss the mistreatment of millions of Americans ever day. I heard it about the uninsured. I hear it about people who are wrongly convicted. I hear it about the disabled. These words simply dismiss the fact that a fellow human being is suffering. I find it revolting to hear that another person has no value.
This attitude has led to an America where kids can't read when they graduate from high school, where people can step over a dead person on the sidewalk (New York City), where drugs can be sold on the corners, where children's parents die because they have no health care, and where tragedies are simply less interesting than what is going on in Hollywood.
If you don't think this is sick you are bordering on being a sociopath. It wouldn't surprise me though, because sociopaths are becoming the norm.

Pro's Cry At Open

The PGA tour players are just terrible at golf. Too many years of being coddled and courted has shown in The U.S. Open, where they don't have to hand file each blade of grass. The Open is giving the Pros fits, because their ten thousand dollars worth of equipment will not negate the intent of the design of the course. It amazed me that a mear mortal like me, has a better short game than most of them.
We have all played courses that are baked by the sun. We all know a hole that you can't land a ball on, because it just bounces over. Why can't a professional adjust to those conditions. Because they are spoiled millionaires. The course must be adjusted to the way they play whaaaaaaaa. I laughed when Ian Poulter's shot flew the green after hitting it. He wouldn't break 80 on my course. There's a difference between PGA golf and our golf.
One of the differences is that their fairways are as hard as our cart paths. My grandmother could drive it 300 yards on those fairways. They don't play courses where you get a down hill sideways lie or for the most part any other direction. I play a course where a flat lie is nearly impossible. I played with a former PGA pro and he was three over at the 19th hole. I suppose you are saying he probably wasn't that good or Then a PGA pro would terrorize it.
First I read all his putts. He missed the ones he read. Second on my course you go over the green your taking strokes and landing it on some of them is like trying to land it on the cart path. Next the rough is like barbed wire. If it goes more than five yards it's not going in the direction you were planning for it to go. I know seems hard to believe.
It's a Robert Trent Jones course and he designed Augusta a while after it. I would call it the little Augusta, except if it was longer the pros wouldn't go near it. Central New York is golf territory. The pros have not found us, so we can play every weekend. Imagine a really good golf course for 25 dollars with a cart. Atunyote has a PGA tournament, but we don't let them come up here. Atunyote is a great course, but I wouldn't pay $100 dollars to play there, beside Turning Stone has two other golf courses that are harder.
The point is that PGA now stands for Pampered Golf Association. I played a North Carolina course and it was hard. I lost a dozen balls on the front nine. I have a phobia about snakes and your damn skippy I wasn't going to go into the under brush to find them. It was a hard course, Probably too hard for the pros. The next time I went I played a different course and shot one of my best scores. Go figure. I am not long, but like the rest of those old guys I get around the course. I have played cow pastures that would be too hard for the pros if they maintained them.
I don't feel sorry for these guys. Golf is supposed to be challenging. If your shooting -12, you should find a new course. Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer played some courses that were manicured. Minus 1 or plus 1 should be the high score at a major. If they break 5 under it is just another golf tournament. Hell, Atunyote can give any player that kind of challenge. They cut the fairways wide here, but the wind is always at least ten miles an hour. The pro's got a shock when it hit 40 miles an hour. If you can't play in wind stay home. We don't want you here. You just slow us down. We call it a breeze.
I am glad that the Open is at Pebble Beach. It demonstrates that old courses can be bears if they are set up right. I miss the days of Pinehurst. Old courses have character. The air around them is a bit richer and nostalgic. It's sad they've been left behind. By the way. 70 miles from us is Oak Hill, which has also proved to bean adventure for the pro's at a U.S. Open. Enjoy watching them hit the ball all over like the rest of us. Once in a while people need a reality check.

The Terrorist's Ticket (U.S. Passports)

2010-06-14T15:55:00.000-07:00

Remember the big drama we had over The U.S. requiring passports for Mexico and Canada? I bet you thought that it was a good idea. After all it was for the security of this nation and the people in it. Well, today we learned that the security was all a fantasy.
The most important document a U.S. citizen can obtain is made in Thailand. The microchip that makes the passport impossible to counterfeit is made in a factory in Thailand. This is the lowest low the U.S. could ever hit. Out sourcing blue jeans is one thing, but the key to unrestricted access to our country? Every American is in danger if a terrorist gets access to this information, but we have sent the technology and the secret in to Thailand where God knows who can gain access to it.
There are thousands of cyber attacks every hour on the countries and people around the world. They have stolen money from banks, gained access to government computers and stolen information. People's Social Security numbers have been obtained by hackers. We use computer chips that are made in China. China has been spying on us for decades, trying to get secrets. Now we have given them free access.
A Passport would allow a person to walk into this and roam freely to even the most important place in the country. They could access the visitor center at the capital. One maniac with a bomb could take out people right in Washington D.C.. They could gun down politicians on the capital steps.
A passport should be made in a secure facility in The U.S. Do we out source our government? At this point I believe that Americans are no longer safe. There is no way to know who has the technology to produce a U.S. passport. Spy's from other countries could be (and probably are) walking any where in the U.S.. We have given the keys to the hen house to the fox and we are going to get bit. Why have passports if foreigners are making them. Who is being protected? Not us. This is obviously George Bush's paranoia working in conjunction with the Republican party to keep track of us. They have been trying to force us to get National ID cards for decades. Well now they know who most of us are, but they have no clue who else is here.
This wasn't a way for the government to save money either. If it was; why are we spending a trillion dollars on things that are of no use to us. They might as well have out sourced the keys and the codes to the Nukes when they did this.
It is only a matter of time before terrorist are walking right through customs without a glance. No wonder they tell us it is a matter of when and not if the U.S. will become the victim of terrorism.
We should have known that something was rotten when they told us we had to worry about Canada. I wonder if driver's licenses are out sourced too.
Kaboom!

Buying Smart

Ok folks. This is the download on buying things. Look at the labels and find the one made in America. Now that you have searched every store in the country, you know it's almost impossible. If it is made in America ask where the parts came from. That should make it nearly impossible.
Here is what I have found. One shirt made in China is not worth any more than another shirt made in China no matter who's name is on it. They pump them out and ship them here for about a dollar a piece. Why would you pay $30 to 70 of your hard earned dollar for a shirt that is worth 1.50. I have bought brand name polos for as low as 1.90 on the unnamed auction site. They still have the tags on them and have never been out of the bags they came in. Yes most were sealed.
People think I am spending 100's of dollars on clothes. Nice clothes. They call me sir and run all around themselves to help me. If you get that kind of service and spent 100's of dollars you are a sucker. P.T. Barnum said there is a sucker born evrey minute. Are you one?
People, for a hundred thousand dollars here, you can get a nice house. Why have you spent that in 10 years on cars. If you can arrord to buy a car 3 cars in ten years, why aren't you buying your house that way. If it's as a tax right off you are as dumb as a door nail. Writing off the interest means you handed money to someone (usually a bank) a lot of money you didn't need to pay. Generously the government gave you part of that back. You would get just as much back on a 10 or 15 year mortgage each year (percent-wise). Maybe you didn't know that banks offer 15 year mortgages. Now you know. This is not a trick ask your accountant. If you do your own taxes do your homework. The only time you are getting more money by claiming something is if it is a direct write off or a credit. Guess what you spent money there too. Surprise. Bet Susie didn't tell you that for free.
Anything you can buy, I can get for less. It takes patience and and a desire to shop around. Everyone knows your texting half the day, so use that smart phone to save enough to pay the bill. Not texting, ok ditch the social networking site and get busy looking. Yes, your boss knows your chatting, because all the information gets sent to I.T. They probably know about your girlfriend too and maybe more than they care to know. Getting any funny looks?
This is a depression. Just because your finacial advisor is yelling buy, buy, buy, doesn't mean it's all good. The only way they make money is for you to buy or sell duh. And buy the way; how did you think that money got into those mutual funds and hedge funds. Oh My God Yes you gave it to them to invest. One more thing, if you ask for it back they don't have a job. Think hard now.
Ok, back to buying.
Nothing is as much as you are paying for it. Nothing. The jobs are not coming back. Paying too much is going to use money that you are going to need when it when you have to pay for the unemployed. Yes, money the government gives unemployed people comes from you. If you buy things the government gets money too. The people you bought from pay income tax.
Nobody's name is worth money. Quality is worth money. Every time a new name comes out, people throw money at it, especially if it is for, or about a sport. Big name companies always start with great quality. After a while many of them are not as attentive about it or you find the price suddenly going through the roof. Selling is all about getting people hooked , making it a habit, and getting payed. They don't pay ad agencies and athletes millions of dollars out of friendship. I have had friends I wouldn't want to have my money, don't you?
You have to start shopping smarter. The only people who are not doing that are the people who are about to find out things are bad. No company has a monopoly on quality. If you think they do, start remembering all the recalls. Better yet type in recalls and start reading the names of the companies. The obvious retort to that is I don't use that or I don't care. Neither do the companies. They hire accountants to determine how much they will make if they make something that might fail or injure you. Oh by the way, that estimate takes in to account the amount they "might" pay if it does. That is called making a profit.
Finally, think about your job. Do you take short cuts. Guess what; those people making what you bought probably did too.
Buy smart people. Made in China means low quality trash. Don't pay big bucks for products that cost less than 50 to make. That goes for the Chinese parts in your $50,000 dollar car. A car that cost fifty thousand dollars should last as long as The Empire State Building and believe me they can and did make some like that.
