THIS BLOG IS DEVOTED TO CONTINUING TO DEFEND THE FREEDOMS I SPENT 40 YEARS OF MY LIFE DEFENDING. IT IS CONSERVATIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE, AND SEEING REALITY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TENDS TO DO THAT TO YOU.
I normally don’t do sappy, but this memorial day I am going to make an exception. Maybe it’s my age catching up with me, or maybe it’s watching that abomination in the White House making a mockery of this once great nation, but I have had reason to think of some of my fallen friends lately. I was actually thinking of my past and the part some of them played was an important part of that past. Some fell at different camps, at different times, doing the same thing. Some fell flying different missions, different years, doing the same thing. Spend as many years in combat zones with as many first rate quality warriors as I have and you unfortunately, will be bound to lose some. These were all great men doing what they wanted to do. All volunteers. Either Special Forces Soldiers or Helicopter Pilots. I don’t know what it is that makes people continue to enlist. To volunteer. For many it’s all about the college money. But for many it really is about the selfless service. And the closer to the tip of the spear you get, the more it’s about the service, and the less it’s about the college money. That was not always the case. And is not always the case, but usually the case.Lord these were good guys. Totally different in every way, and exactly the same in others. Dedicated and committed. I often ask myself why them, and not me or others? It always seems so random. The Huey that lands with a dead Pilot and two bullet holes, and I bring back a bird with more holes than you can count and no one has a scratch. I do Honor my fallen comrades. I Honor them for the sacrifice they made. For the cost their family paid. I honor them their service. I honor them for putting up with the terrible conditions we lived in and had to endure. And I honor them for allowing me to survive
I have decided to run for President. I have formed a new party, one that has a goal in mind, and is patterned after President Obamas "style". The new party's name is "Cut The Lard"!
Allow me to explain MY "Cut The Lard" Presidential Campaign.
First i will explain how I, will solve the illegal immigrant problem, using My great ideas. The first time an employer is caught using illegal immigrants, he will be fined $2,500.00 per illegal. The second time he will be fined $5,000.00 per illegal. The third time he will go to jail for FIVE years. When an illegal is caught, his right hand will be dyed with a dye that takes one year to wear off. If you are caught hiring or using an illegal with a dyed hand you will go to prison for TEN years.
Now, I would like to tell you about MY welfare program. I know it's great, I spent many minutes working on it. I, and I alone, can fix the welfare system. My program, that I will fix, takes my ideas to great heights. My program limits payments to truly disabled persons for periods longer than six months. My program ends welfare for able bodied persons after six months. If an able body person needs welfare money after six months, My program requires that able body persons to perform community service to receive public funds. I propose that able body persons can pick up trash, work at the hospital, clean parks or do any number of things the community needs in order to receive public funds. My program, which I think is great and I know you do too, will limit increases for kids to three kids. If you want to have more than three, you can have them on your dime, not mine. I think this is fair. Why should a working family with three kids struggle to pay for your four kids? I know you will thank me later for I am wonderful, and I know everything there is to know because I once worked for the guvment( keep in mind this is modeled on Obamas style). I, and I alone have what it takes for me to do this. We know that I can do what I set out for Me to do, for I am going to get what I want done. My campaign manager told me I should be less shy and blow my own horn more, but I am a shy man, and like to remain humble. I know it's hard sometimes when you are as great as I. But I will try.
Now I, your humble marvelous Presidential candidate, who we all know is just as wonderful as wonderful gets, will tell you how I, and I alone, will secure my borders, and turn a handsome if not sorta good looking profit. ((don't you love the Obama styling?)
In the cities and built-up areas I will build a 15 foot tall electrified fence. This fence will have enough voltage and amperage to kill a bull elephant on contact. I will divide the rural and desolate areas into military and contract zones. The military will clear a zone one mile deep from the border and declare it a free fire zone. Anyone in the zone who has not coordinated with the military prior to entering will be fired upon, no questions asked. Anyone who enters this zone without prior permission will be consider an enemy combatant intent on invading the United States and will be killed on sight.
Because the border is so long and the military does not have the man power to cover the entire border, parts will be designated contract zones. These zones will be turned over to retired military contractors who will hire retired military personnel and operate under the same rules as the military. They will be allowed to recruit non-military personnel who wish to join the military, and who are willing to train on the border for six months to one year under the command of the retired military contractors. After their training period, they will allowed to transfer to the military to complete their training.
Anyone caught in the zone with a dyed hand will be hung by the neck on the rivers edge as a show of determination that we are serious about securing our border. The contractors will have the authority to issue sniper permits to civilians who wish to "Hone" their shooting skills. These permits will cost $500.00 per week, and allow the civilian shooter to engage targets with the permission of a designated contractor. These fees will help defray the cost of securing the border.
Now allow this somewhat humble Presidential candidate from the "Cut The Lard Party" to explain MY foreign policy.
You are either for and with us and our ally; Or you are our enemy.
Any questions?
We will provide aid and assistance to our allies; Or we will deal death and destruction to our enemies.
Any questions?
So that ladies and gentlemen is what my Presidential run is all about. I admit I fall well short of President Obama on the "I, Me's, and mine's", but I am just starting out, and am very new to politics. I am trying to work more "I" into my work, but it's hard. I will continue to watch President Obama for pointers.
Dear Mr. Romney, I would like to take this opportunity to give you some advice from an average American.
First, let me tell you what you have to stop doing;
Stop allowing Obama to control the conservation. You are letting him make this campaign about petty meaningless things like condoms and did you cut some kids hair 40 years ago. Hells bells man. He had you apologizing for something the family said never happened!
Let’s get this straight right now! Obama is going to lie about you, and you better not agree to the lies! You run a Senator Dole and McCain campaign and you will get you ass handed to you just like they did!
Stop allowing Obama to change the subject!
Now. Let’s talk about what you need to start doing.
You need to start calling BS when Obama lies! When he and his propaganda machine the main stream media says you cut some kids hair 40 years ago, DON”T apologize. Call BS. Make an AD, go on TV and say BS! It never happened! Call them out! Grow a pair and stand up. Sen Dole and McCain rolled over and allowed Clinton and Obama to talk about them like dogs and got their tails kicked!
We, the people of the GOP want to see you stand up and fight back. We are tired of the democrats lying and getting away with it! Sick and damn tired.
We want you to save your money and counter punch. When someone asks about gay marriage, counter with;
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. What I would like to talk about is THE CLIMATE OF DISPARE that Obama has created that has caused millions of Americans to stop looking for work!
When someone asks about Bain, respond with “I am proud of my business background.” I would like to discuss the historic foreclosures.Millions of Americans have lost their homes because of Obamas Climate of Despair and failed financial policies.
Make and AD and refute the so called “War On Women”. Call BS. But be honest. Be brutal. The AD should be something like;
“Since Obama took office 42 million American women have lost their jobs. 18 million have lost their insurance. 52 million have lost their home. When I am elected I will give those back.” The democrats count women as any female over the age of 6. You should do the same. You better learn to play by their rules or you will lose by playing by Dole and McCains rules.
Well, I am finally a believer in global warming. These past few days have been brutal on my old body, and it's has to be Global Warming. Why else would it be getting warmer this time of year? I think it's because George Bush flew that airplane into that tower, got out, and then flew the other plane I to the other tower! It has to be! Why else would it be getting hotter? I mean last month was cool, and the month before that was cool, and the month before that was COLD! So it has to be Global Warming!! Good Lord man, don't you see the trend! The argument is OVER! Al has spoken, or mumbled or something. Anyway, it makes sense to me. If you use the right logic, it all falls into place.
As for the airplane theory, I have heard adults say those words, and believe them. Think about? The Oinker, Rosie O, is on record as saying steel cannot melt! Think about that for a second: how do they make steel? In a foundry where they MELT it and POUR it, and roll it and squeeze it! You all have seen the shots of the big bucket pouring the molten steel and the sparks flying! But the lipstick covered Rosie says that has never happened. You have never seen it! Right lardo, maybe you should stay in the sty. But maybe she is right! Maybe all that steel really isn't there! Maybe it's a hoax put forth by the Bush Presidents! And of course the Bildeburgers. Can't leave those guys out. Any who, back to global warming, I am now a believer. Take today for instance; 85 degrees! It would have been much hotter, but we had thunderstorms in the area, and we ALL know thunderstorms are caused by global warming. When I was a kid, they were caused by heat and moisture. Hot air raises, collects moisture, and rapidly dissipates. But that all changed when the Bushes seized power. Everybody knows that! It's not as hot now as it was when I was a kid here in Florida, it use to be a lot hotter for longer periods but that is due to it getting warmer. If it was getting hotter see, that would be different. That's why they don't call it "Global Hotting"! When I was a kid,it was well into the high 90s every day in the summer, and we had persevere thunderstorms almost every afternoon around three o'clock. But with Global Warming, it has been getting warm instead of hot. Pretty cool huh!
When I was on active duty, I had the good fortune to work for some great leaders. One of those, a Colonel who Commanded an Ordnance Brigade in Germany once said, "You will judged on your ability to accept and adapt to change."
Oft times we set out to live our lives on a course we have have laid out well in advance. Along the way things happen that make it impossible for us to follow that course, but many insist on staying that course no matter what. They fear any type change, and will stay the planned course, even when they know its an impossible task. Undue hardships and endless hours of strife often ensues, which cause not only the traveler to be unhappy, but spills over to those around him. This inability to accept the changes that occur during the course of the lifetime makes for a very unhappy and frustrating life. But it's not enough just to accept the changes, you have to adapt to the changes. Sometimes as they occur, you have to change course to adapt to the change or to take advantage of the change. If the change occurs and there is nothing you can do to prevent it, why not take advantage of it? Change course if that is the best option! But weight the option, and don't insist on staying a course that is filled with obstacles if you can embrace change and prosper by veering 10 degrees left or right.
Change can be good, or it can be bad. It's up to you, depending on how you accept and adapt. How you embrace the change. Face it head on, weigh your options and take advantage, and change will take you on new adventures you never dreamed, but will be glad you got the opportunities to experience.
Recently I had an exchange on FB with a friend about president Obama and President Clinton. Another of his FB friends chimed in and made some degrading remarks about The Two Bush Presidents. Very degrading. I responded with some remarks about president Obama. The first response from her was? I was a “Hater” and a “Racist”. This is not the first time this has happened. When I said something, she said it was just a joke and I should calm down. Of course that was after she had gotten in her cheap shots about the Bush Presidents, and calling me a Hater and Racist.
The double Standards of liberals are beyond belief. Their ability to not see defies logic. I refuse to believe they do not realize what they are doing. Combine that double standard with their compulsive desire to control the conversation and all conversations wind up bashing conservatives, and not allowing rebuttals. Just because I don’t like President Obamas policy, does not make me a racist. The fact I resent he refuses to force Harry Reid to present a working budget does not make me a racist. The fact I do not like that he has thrown Israel under the bus, does not make me a racist. The fact I don’t like that he has done nothing to stop this insane unemployment does not make me a racist. The fact I hate that he has defied the will of the people and crammed Obamacare down our throat does not make me a racist. The fact I truly believe he hates the United States does not make me a racist. The fact I think he is out to destroy the country does not make me a racist. All those things don’t make me a racist. I don’t like this Presidents policies. I didn’t like them when he told us what he was going to do to us when he as campaigning. I don’t like them now. I think he is a Socialist, and I think he is out to turn this country into a Third World State.
I resent it when the first thing I hear from someone is “Hater” or “Racist” when I post something they don’t like about President Obama. What I want is for everyone to register, and vote him out of office.We are at a crossroads. We face the greatest election in my lifetime. This election will determine the course of the country for the rest of time. The re-election of President Obama will forever change the face of this country. We will never be able to recover if we allow him to be re-elected. We will become a third rate third world welfare state. It will be over. We will never survive four more years of his arrogant rule. He ignores the will of the people, the Congress and the Supreme Court.
I resent the liberals for labeling me a racist or a hater. They need to open their eyes and see the man they continue to support without thinking. They need to start thinking.
Mitt Romney needs to hire Mike Tyson. I'm serious! He needs to spend about a week with Iron Mike learning how to fight. See, I figure Iron Mike knows how to fight at the same level as Obama; low and dirty. Gutter level. Except Iron Mike has more integrity than Obama, and can't get quiet as low as The Chosen One, The Messiah, All Hail Obama, Obama The First. But Iron Mike can come close. He could teach Mr Romney how to get in close and counter punch, bite and defend himself. For far too long Republicans have allowed the democrats to attack and fight dirty and they have stood there and taken it. Their belief that the American people knows better is wearing thin. That strategy cost both Dole and McCain elections. Mr Romney needs to fight back, go on the attack and get in the first blows. Knock out blows, and that's where Iron Mike comes in. Obama will lie, cheat and do any thing he can to win. Mr Romney will smile, lay out his agenda and lose, Unless he gets down and fights back! Obama has tens of issues Mr Romney can attack. All are legitimate. Mr Romney can tell the truth and attack at will, and still get down and dirty! And all he has to do is tell the truth!!!!
While our President was in South America attending a conference, a story broke about a scandal that involved a dozen or so Secret Service agents, and several members of the military. They had either engaged a prostitute, or tried to stiff her (no pun intended) of her fee.
The President was attending the conference trying to increase trade between Latin America, and the United States. Keep in mind we have a true unemployment of 20%, an inflation rate that the government will not report, gas prices at record highs, groceries going up weekly, a scandal involving the most prestigious protection service in the world and what does the President get up set about?
The media lost its focus! That's right! The media took its eye off HIM! They had the nerve to put the Secret Service Scandal ahead of HIM! THE NERVE! He owns the media! He was livid. He was complaining and whining like a little kid. He could not believe there was any story bigger than HIM. He is the story! HIM! It's about him! I'm surprised he didn't order the bombing of Mexico or something. That would have shown just how manly he really is. But after a dressing down, the media was put back in their place and is back to fawning over the Chosen One. The Messiah, All Hail Obama.
No matter what you say or do: no matter the facts you present: no matter the evidence you lay before them, there is a group of diehard liberals who will vote for Obama. They know the truth, but refuse to accept it. They know he is inept, but refuse to admit it. They know he is out to destroy the country, but would rather see the country collapse than to accept the fact their party is corrupt and morally bankrupt. These people should question their morals and values. You have to ask yourself; why? Why would anyone be willing to sell their country down the drain just to stand by a party that has begun to rot from within. The party of JFK died years ago and is now nothing but a corpse; a hollow shell of it's former self, inhabited by self serving greedy small minded people who rely on a voting block addicted to entitlements to stay in office. They use your and my money to buy their votes. The donkey is dead, and it's starting to smell.
(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional Democrats on Wednesday to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals.
The First Amendment says in part: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
Television and radio networks, newspapers, publishing houses, movie studios and think tanks, as well as political action committees, are usually organized as, or elements of, corporations.
Pelosi said the Democrats' effort to amend the Constitution is part of a three-pronged strategy that also includes promoting the DISCLOSE Act, which would increase disclosure requirements for organizations running political ads, and “reducing the role of money in campaigns” (which some Democrats have said can be done through taxpayer funding of campaigns).
The constitutional amendment the Democrats seek would reverse the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In that decision the court said that the First Amendment protects a right of free speech for corporations as well as for individuals, and that corporations (including those that produce newspapers, films and books) have a right to speak about politicians and their records just as individuals do.
“We have a clear agenda in this regard: Disclose, reform the system reducing the role of money in campaigns, and amend the Constitution to rid it of this ability for special interests to use secret, unlimited, huge amounts of money flowing to campaigns,” Pelosi said at her Thursday press briefing.
“I think one of the presenters [at a Democratic forum on amending the Constitution] yesterday said that the Supreme Court had unleashed a predator that was oozing slime into the political system, and that, indeed, is not an exaggeration,” said Pelosi. “Our Founders had an idea. It was called democracy. It said elections are determined by the people, the voice and the vote of the people, not by the bankrolls of the privileged few. This Supreme Court decision flies in the face of our Founders’ vision and we want to reverse it.”.........................
Don't let Botox Nancy fool you. There is a hidden agenda here, and it comes across loud and clear. Once they get this amendment passed, they will have the authority to control what newspapers print, what you watch on TV, and more importantly, what you listen to on the Radio. This Bill will give Nancy Pelosi the authority to determine what she wants you to hear. Say good bye to Rush! Say good bye to Sean! Say good bye to Glenn and a host of other conservative talk shows. This is her real agenda. She is an evil woman. EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! There is no end to their lying and scheming.
