Pledge To America

Republicans took a stab at it this past week.

Some great stuff in there. As I've heard others comment, my personal favorite is that each new piece of legislation must contain information which specifies WHY it is Constitutional.

THAT would surely be progress.

But let's be honest. We are at a very important, crucial time in this country. We do not need a band-aid on a bruised elbow, but more like major heart surgery.



It's taken us decades to get here; but, I am one of those who believes our time to correct the errors of our past are short before our challenges become that much more obvious, that much more challenging to overcome. We need to admit what we face as soon as possible, begin a dramatic and severe reworking and downsizing of government.

I like a lot of what Republicans have had to say. Yet, it was not nearly enough.

Turning government back to 2008 levels is like throwing a thimble of water on a house fire. We need serious conversations among serious people, with attentiveness from serious and patriotic Americans.

A few suggestions . . .

- End ALL foreign aid. All of it.

- Admit that we have a number "Departments" in Washington which need to be shuttered. Among those, Education, Energy and Environment would seem real possibilities. That doesn't mean we don't have people at a national level who are involved, but it does mean they are a waste of time, energy and money.

- Have all departments, areas of government come before a panel of select elected representatives (maybe others) and give them 10 minutes to justify themselves. Put it on CSPAN. Then, have people who can prove they have paid taxes in the past 5 years vote on what stays and goes.

Any of these three possible? Yes. Doesn't mean it's got to be just this way, but it's time to be serious, to understand the challenges before us and how we bring this country back to being the envy of the rest of the world.

It's time to get serious. That would be my favorite pledge to America.

America Is Pissed Off

Am I being sensational?

I don’t think so. Not if my mood is typical of what is going on in this country. Not if the mood of many I now interact with is common. I believe it IS common.

We are pissed off. We’ve got good reason to be. REASONS to be.

Is it Washington? Yes.

Is it the media? Yes.

Is it the economy? Yes, but now we’re nearly going in circles. The first two sort of cover it. No need to call crap by many different names. It all smells bad.



Barack Obama isn’t just the worst President ever. Many compare him to Jimmy Carter, but let’s be honest, Jimmy Carter was just a ridiculous fool. Barack Hussein Obama HATES this country. When you accept that, that’s the only time what he does and says makes sense. So, accept it.

And with the media covering his ass every step he takes, I’m going to assume most of them do as well.

Let’s deal in a few specifics.

Last Thursday night a sitting Senator of the United States, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, said on a CNBC financial news and commentary show that the federal government of the United States is PURPOSEFULLY spending us into oblivion (“into a ditch” his words) to overwhelm our economic system to put yet more power and control into the hands of government, with a European (Soviet?) style system, including a massive VAT. (The Cloward-Piven Strategy? You bet.) The host of the show, Larry Kudlow, who likes to say he’s pro free market and but needs a set of Pollyanna braids to cover his bald head, had nothing to say after. Kudlow and his fellow imbeciles on GE / Obama TV regularly sweep inconvenient statistics and news under the rug so that they can continue their moronic Obama / Socialist cheering. Rick Santelli . . . . you really need to find a real company to work for. Surely Fox Business has a space for you. Any place would be better. Maria Caruso-Cabrera, Joe Kernen, you too.



Tonight, on ‘Special Report’ with Bret Baier on Fox News, another Wall Street commentator, commenting on an increase in foreclosures of 25% year over year in August, said that all the efforts of the Administration have made THINGS WORSE! Really? Ya think. Astounding . . . . armchair quarterbacks may not have a great reputation but we armchair economists have been kicking ass for the past year over inane, idiot sacks misguided economist crap! Seriously. Are you people supposed to have a CLUE? It is obvious you do not.

Obama and crew are out to DESTROY this country, as we know it. Glenn Beck is not the lunatic. The lunatics are the crap elected to run this country AND the people who have forgone the responsibilities of citizenship, voted them in 2008 on “hope” and “change”. And let’s not let the McCain people off the hook. Why did Republicans select one of the leaders of the immigration “reform” bill of 2007 – when the public went nuts – to be their nominee? Because the biased liberal media told you to do it. After all, if they weren’t going to get a Marxist nouveau Democrat, at least they could have a useless, wannabe RINO like McLame. Wow. Impressive, people. How about paying attention and understanding what is at stake next time?!!! I respect John McCain's past, I deplore his present. It's time to put this RINO out to pasture. (Thanks for skipping that opportunity, Arizona! And, please, whatever the daughter's name is . . . . GO AWAY.)



Now, we’re in a big damned hole and the people who are supposed to be our leaders have backhoes, jack hammers, and shovels, going deeper and telling us all along the way how warm it is down below as it gets darker and darker.

America is pissed off. Beyond pissed. And, yeah, taking some action via the normal channels. Elections have proven that we are prepared to take the trash out. Yet, now we hear so much pissing and moaning from the Washington insiders telling us how stupid we are, how the people we are electing have no place in politics, I guess it’s supposed to deter our momentum, but it’s only increasing my blood pressure, along with my DETERMINATION to have real and meaningful change come to the United States of America.

I’m trying to ignore the idiot talking heads, with little success. I respect these peoples’ opinions like I want to be water boarded. Bottom line, I am sick and tired of them and this 180-degrees-away-from-SANITY surreality has grown old. Yeah, I am pissed off like never before.

I’m not alone. There are many of me. I may even be a mild case.

Poor, Poor Michelle

Poor, poor Michelle Obama. She confided to her French counterpart, Carla Bruni, when asked what it’s like to be the First Lady of the United States: “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”



Poor, poor Michelle. While her husband has been busy destroying the country’s economic prosperity, millions have lost their jobs and their homes, all the White House parties they’ve thrown, jetting off here and there, that 5 star vaca in Spain, it’s amazing she can carry on at all.

Poor, poor Michelle. And all of this just when she’s started to feel a bit better about her country. We all remember her announcement that for the first time in her adult life she was “proud of my country”. Given her hellacious circumstances, surely that’s an advancement which has rolled back down hill. How selfish of Americans, those who have lost their jobs, lost their homes, been consumed with fear of the future, that we couldn’t somehow help her cope. How selfish of us.



Poor, poor Michelle. You’ve obviously endured too much, more than we could ever, should ever ask of you.

So, please, poor, poor Michelle, GO.

Don’t let the White House door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Thanks Much, But I Already HAVE A Mother . . . .

WHAT is it with these idiot liberals / leftists?

Oh yeah, they want the STATE to control everything.

We're the idiot masses who can barely tie our shoes, go to the bathroom by ourselves, need THEM, the smart people to help us, guide us, show us the way.

Michelle Obama now wants to NUDGE us to eat apples and carrots, rather than fries.



Well, Michelle, you can pry my fries from my COLD, DEAD FINGERS.

I already have a Mother, thanks. I respect her. YOU? No way. NO way.

By the way, your husband is an idiot who can't speak without a teleprompter and he SMOKES. And, according to your own comments, your mothering skills have led you to throw your own children under the bus as being "fat".

Stay out of my life. Stay out of Americans' lives.

We are not in the mood for changing our lives, our history, or the food we like.



Now, watch out before someone drops a house on you.



Spend your time at home, girl. You've got some real mothering to do.

* * * *

NOW, can anyone detect a sea change of a mood swing after the Delaware results?!!! Howard Dean scream, if you please . . . . .

Time To Spike Political Correctness

Ines Sainz turns heads and likes it. She refers to herself as “the hottest sports reporter in Mexico”. She’s appeared on the front of the Spanish version of Sports Illustrated in a bikini. She dresses to accent her, uh, assets.



On Sunday, September 12, she shows up on the sidelines of the New York Jets game to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez. Not surprisingly, she was noticed by the other players. During warm up before the game, many passes (with a football) were sent in her direction so that players could get closer to her. Later, in the locker room, during her (absurd) presence, there were comments, hoots and hollers. Now we have charges of “unsportsman like” conduct because of players’ actions.

Someone PLEASE save America from this IDIOCY!

It’s called football. It’s played by BIG guys with BIG egos. No matter how much wussy metrosexual men and frigid, frumpy women who hate their own bodies and reproductive abilities might like, that is not going to change. Thank God.

Once upon a time, sports was a zone free of the idiocy of Leftists who had already ruined so much else in our society. It was better then. We should not allow them to continue its destruction with the idiocy of political correctness and a denial of human nature, good natured fun, the freedom to be ourselves.

There are men in our society, and we are lucky they still exist, despite the Left’s efforts to make them extinct. They’re actually the ones who are typically much more respectful of women, appreciate their mothers, say “yes ma’am” and “no, ma’am”, open doors for them, make the best fathers, fill the ranks of our military and have protected the freedoms many take for granted or are eager to surrender.

Boys will be boys. Men will be men. The indoctrination received during so-called higher education doesn’t always take as desired, skewing reality in one’s mind. I remember being taught about “Baby X” during my freshman year. The story was of a baby who was never told of its gender, was dressed androgynously, played with trucks and dolls. The baby grew up to be the happiest little “it” in the world.

Blah, blah, blah. Bull crap.

The people who harp on humans developing from apes and monkeys are always the ones who strive to diminish human nature. It’s time to start telling them what they can do with their opinions, bring back common sense and an appreciation of what is real and good in this world. Football players getting excited over a beautiful woman strikes me as natural, and sure as hell more compliment than insult. If she didn’t want it, she wouldn’t have given herself the title she did and she would dress differently.

It’s time for sane Americans to put their collective foot down. Perhaps the football field is an excellent place to do it.

I Hate New York

I just watched two idiots from New York City arguing on television about why New Yorkers – including those on Wall Street – overwhelmingly supported Barack Hussein Obama for President in 2008. Because they’re all idiots? No, not according to them.

One said it’s because they saw him as “one of them”. He said what he meant by that is they went to the same ivy league schools, he was the “smart choice”. If you want to insert “sucker’s” for “smart”, WE are in the same camp.



I’m sorry, New York City is full of complete and total classless morons who like to look down their noses at others because they think they are better, are smarter than every one else. Are they? Again, just think Obama. That Kurt Russell movie “Escape from New York” had a very smart title.

Do I hate all New Yorkers? Of course not. There are some smart, normal, real Americans there. I might be able to name the ones I know on two hands. Okay, maybe one.

I first traveled to New York City in 1986. It was dirty and nasty. I remember watching some Midwesterners being chased around The Village by some fool yelling expletives and later watching a transvestite being pelted with fries outside a McDonald’s in Times Square by a group of thugs who proceeded to chase him (her) down the street. I’ve yet to see heels move that fast again.



When I traveled back to the city on business in the 90s, it was a total transformation. Rudy Guiliani had left his mark; and, the difference was amazing. Times Square was night and day. I didn’t want to leave. Many of the New Yorkers I knew, of course, thought he was a horrible mayor for the city. See? Idiots.

In the late 90s, when the New York Yankees played the Atlanta Braves in the World Series (I lived in Atlanta), I remember fans throwing BATTERIES at Braves players in the outfield. Yeah, that’s some class.

September 11, 2001, occurred and on that day, it seemed we were all New Yorkers. As most of the nation, I watched in horror. I cried. I couldn’t imagine being there, yet, in some ways I wanted to. I didn’t even want to see the horror, but I did want to help, to hug, to comfort, to pitch in. I wanted to help share their pain because I truly did feel their pain. (Unlike the other fool they STILL support.)

September 11, 2010, I’m disgusted as many New Yorkers – along with their city leaders who approved it – are supporting a mosque to be built just blocks from Ground Zero. Honestly, I don’t give a damn where mosques are built. Except for that one. As has occurred around the world, Muslims often like to declare a victory with placement of a mosque. It’s their way of demonstrating power, they WON. If you do not wish to send that message, if that is not your goal, great: MOVE IT. The mosque backers wanted to put up this 14 story structure in just over a year when first announced. This while nearly 10 years later most of Ground Zero is still a blank space. Priorities, priorities. Quite a tribute to those whose lives were forfeited that day.

In the times in which we live we face many challenges, obstacles. Personally, I believe they get bigger from here, not smaller. New Yorkers, stop being such weak, appeasing pansies. (. . . Said the gay man.) Seriously, you people like to think you’re so tough, snap out of the idiot liberal funk you've been in, stand up to the insanity promoted by the morons you have elected. CHANGE the people you have elected, truly be smart going forward, be as strong as you like to think you are. No one attacks the bully on the school yard, but the weak kid, the obnoxious kid, the arrogant kid, they’re the first targets. Right now, you're one good damned target.

Start showing your best side again and I will possibly love New York once more. Even consider no longer looking down my nose at you.

Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Muslim?

Who's afraid of the Muslims in American 2010? Seems like everyone. You can do and say anything about or to Catholics, Jews, Christians. Muslims are off limits. Protected or feared, they’re not like everyone else. The people who love to provoke, well, they know a mad Muslim means business, often times with a knife. You’re granted special status when people are afraid of what you’ll do if another does or says something to them they do not like. Like the crazy old aunt you’re not supposed to set off at Thanksgiving, you've got to speak softly around Muslims as at least a portion of them are always a hair away from some violent act from which we’re supposed to help them refrain. If they go there, it was your fault.

A Danish cartoonist found that out in 2006. He had threats on his life, there were attempts to kill him. In riots which followed, others did die. It was, of course, the cartoonist’s fault.



Now we have a religious man and his 50 followers planning to ceremoniously burn a Quran in Gainesville, Florida, on Saturday. It’s provocative, no question. It’s meant to be so. And, yes, it's stupid. Everyone’s warning that he’ll endanger the lives of others if they go through with it. Muslims, I’m left to assume, are beyond Pavlov and his dog. They’ll tear themselves away from their prayer rugs to bomb, kill, destroy yet again when provoked. Guess if Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and others got violent when crossed, as the bully on the play yard, everyone would fear them, too.

Humorous? No. None of it. Just pathetic, idiotic, ridiculous. Oh yeah, and the guy in Gainesville, too.



In America 2010, liberals are fighting to remove a large cross placed on government land out in the desert where few liberals would dare go. Christmas is only a few months away, and we all know what that brings: Lots of excitement and anger over such dangerous things as Christmas trees, nativity scenes, hateful well wishes like “Merry Christmas”. Hideous attacks followed by murderous Christians hitting the streets. Oh wait, strike that last part. They don’t do that. Wrong group.

In New York City in 1999 there was an uproar over a few pieces to be included in an art exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Two pieces specifically, “Holy Virgin Mary” and “Piss Christ” were at the center of the controversy. “Holy Virgin Mary”, by Chris Ofili, included close-ups of female genitalia cut from pornographic magazines, along with elephant dung. Lovely. “Piss Christ”, which many will likely remember, featured a crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine. Classy. Did Christians riot? Was the American left concerned with their feelings? No. In fact, it was just the opposite. Christians were to chomp on the proverbial chill pill.



I took a class in college once called “What is art?” Looking back, I’m pretty sure the intent was the same as with many college courses: BLUR the lines, make anything acceptable. Whatever art is, what makes it appealing is surely different from person to person. Art, at some point, must be commercial, desired, or it is simply some idiot idea no one wants or would consider parting with their own money in exchange for the “art”. One man’s art, another’s junk.

I myself am an aspiring artist, mostly mosaics. I’ve started doing some mixed medium pieces of late also. Perhaps future projects might be “Piss Muhammed” (no need to explain) or “Pork Quran”, a Quran wrapped in bacon.

Would the American left pay tickets to see my creations? No. Would I have to go into hiding because of Muslims who threaten me? Maybe. All so prone to beheadings, violent attacks, yet so delicate and frail.

Who's afraid of the big bad Muslim boogeyman? Still looks like most.
