Republicans in the Bedroom

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Have you ever noticed that too many Republican candidates are sticking their noses into American bedrooms? Now normally I lean to the Republican side of the fence but they are pissing me off on two issues. These two issues are always hot topics come election time so I decided to get them out of the way now. Once again, as always elected officials in the federal government are busy fighting over issues that should be handed off to the states to decide. The Republicans are so focused on what the American people are doing, its almost as if every household in America is having an orgy. Imagine that, elected officials bending the American people over, who would have thought? These elected federal officials will waste our time and money arguing over abortion and gay marriage aka civil unions. Really? How about we focus on jobs, the national debt, healthcare, and the other important things we need to worry about. How about we find away for America to stand on her own two feet again and stop leaning on China.

First, lets talk about the abortion issue. If many Republicans had their choice all abortions would be illegal no matter what the reason for it. While I personally would never want my wife to have an abortion unless it was needed to save her life or if she was raped. Now, if she was raped I can positively say that when I would find the SOB that did it and I would be the judge, jury and executioner. He would be found guilty, sentenced to death, and the execution would happen within minutes of the sentencing. I can promise that it will be a very slow and painful death with no chance of a stay in execution. I’m sure the liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and other whack jobs will be all over me for that but hey oh well. Anyways, abortion is an issue that the states need to decide. While I would never want my wife to have one, it is nobody’s business if we do. Just like if you and your spouse and or significant other decide to have an abortion what business is it of mine? It’s not and I would expect you to tell me to butt the hell out of your business much like I would tell you if you got into mine. The federal government allows each state to decide many of their own gun laws, but the gun in a man’s pants along with the target in a woman’s pants have to be protected by condoms called the federal government. I can honestly say that is one prophylactic I wouldn’t trust. How about we change, “Uncle Sam Wants You” to “Uncle Sam Wants In Your Pants.” Its kind of catchy or it could be mistaken for a bad porn movie. How about the federal government worry about their jobs while the State officials worry about their. Then again, the federally elected officials will also be the ones collecting their pay checks when they deny social security checks to America’s senior citizens, another way the federal government is bending the American people over. The federal government needs to realize there are state governments for a reason. In fact, in my opinion the state elected officials are more in tune with the wants and needs of their constituents then any elected official to the federal government. Before we wrap up the abortion issue I need to get one more thing of my chest. To all of those that have two or more Pro-Life bumper stickers on your car. We get your point! One bumper sticker tells us your opinion on the matter, you don’t need more than one. Also, you may call it murder but have you ever even seen a murder? If not I will gladly invite you to any inner city and I will drop you off there. Be warned, when I tell you to get out I am not stopping at the stop sign. I will slow down to a safe departure speed for you to exit the truck. Once your out you are own you own and I’m not looking back. Next time I see you will be on the 6:00 PM news.

On to my second complaint about Republicans in the bedroom. Let’s talk about the whole gay marriage thing or as some states are calling it civil unions. First, in my opinion there is no such thing as a gay marriage. To me a marriage is a union between a man and a woman. That’s it, no changing a word to make it politically correct after 100′s of years. This reminds me of an old saying my uncle use to use when is was growing up, “The funny thing about that little white speck on the top of chicken shit. That little white speck is chicken shit too”. Yes I know, that same line was in the movie Pure Country but I remember as a little kid hearing my uncle say it and not understanding until I got older. If you want to call them civil unions that’s fine and for this article I will call them just that. While I am personally against civil unions its not my choice. It should not be the choice of the federal government either, it should be the decision of each individual state. Once again, the decision should be made by the elected state officials based on what the citizens of that state want. If the citizens of Pennsylvania don’t want civil unions then our elected officials should vote against it. If the residents of California want to have civil unions, well then their elected officials need to act in a manner that speaks for the people, not their personal opinion. This is just another case of Uncle Sam trying to butt into each states business. Kind of like the big brother syndrome. If big brother doesn’t like it then you better not do it but if big brother wants it well you better hop to it before he gets mad. This all comes at a time when many Republicans are looking to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Remember, this was even sign into law by a Democrat President. Yes, President Wild Willy Billy Clinton signed this law. Just an added note for humor, President Clinton signed this law about a year and a half before the media broke the story of Wild Bill, Monica, and the stained blue dress.

I think many people will agree that these issues are state issues. Each state should have the right to make laws for the people by the people right? It is obvious that big brother doesn’t like it’s little brothers are making their own decisions. For those of you that have an interest in American history, let us think back to our history classes. In 1860 when President Lincoln was elected many southerners believed that the government was growing to strong. The southern states and its citizens felt that the federal government had no right to tell them how they lived. The people of the south believed that if they remained part of the United States the North would control them. Therefore many states in the south decided to leave the United States. Big Brother didn’t like this and when they were told to leave Confederate land and refused an eviction noticed was served. Thus leading to the Union aka the North aka the Inited States to wage war on the newly formed Confederate States of America. While this is still a debate today as to whether states can or can not secede, we will leave that for another article. It all comes back to states rights. It doesn’t matter what the issue in debate is, the federal government continues to over step its boundaries by not allowing the states to govern themselves. The United States is made up of individual states, therefore the states must be able to govern themselves in a manner that represents the wishes of the people. The federal government needs to worry about the issues facing the nation as a whole. With this said, I feel the only proper way to end this article is with these two words, “Deo Vindice”!

Who Should the United States Pay?

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

On Tuesday, President Obama said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks on August 3rd. Why is it that the retirees of our country may not get their money? I bet the President, his staff, and other government employees will. Well, President Obama is blaming it on the budget. Now, while Democrats and Republicans need to come to a solution in regards to the budget, in my opinion it goes beyond that. In fact, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky went as far as saying that he does not see a way for Republicans and Democrats to come to an agreement on meaningful deficit reduction as long as Mr. Obama remains in office. It is obvious that our President doesn’t have the peoples best interest in mind when he is making decisions. Mr. Obama has been forcing the idea of raising the debt ceiling. He has even gone as far as trying to find a way to do this without the approval of Congress. What does that tell you? We elect our officials in Washington D.C. To represent we the people. The Senators and Representatives in our nations capitol are suppose to be the voice of the people and they are suppose to do what they feel is best for America. Therefore, they have said no to the President and his proposal to increase the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, President Obama is trying to undermine the whole system to get his way. What did he discover, he can’t. So if he can’t undermine it he may as well try blackmailing it. Maybe that will work.

How is he going to blackmail Congress to get his way? It’s a simple game he is going to try and play. Remember when we were young and dumb? There was a game many of us played while the rules were simple and the same game could be played different ways but the theory behind it was the same. That game is called chicken. I have seen the game played many ways and again I repeat we was young and dumb and I no longer recommend anyone plays this game, especially like we did. We would challenge something or someone, whether it was another person, a car, or the really really dumb idea a train. You would run at each other or stand in the path of the moving vehicle and whoever moved out of the way first was the loser. See simple, but dumb. President Obama is currently playing this game with the Republicans and the American people are in the way. Know you maybe asking how is our President doing this. He is using the scare tactic. Republicans won’t give him what he wants so he tries to make them look like the evil people that the Democrats make them out to be. President Obama says to the senior citizens of our country, look the Republicans won’t agree with me, they are bad and evil, if you don’t get your social security checks its because of them. Now these are not his exact words but I see what he is thinking. Why is he trying to scare the senior citizens of our country, why is he throwing the American people that is is sworn to protect under the train? Simple, the largest age group for voters is those ages 45 years old and up. Voters that are age 55 and up make up the largest part of this group. These are the people that are currently collecting their social security or will be collecting it in the near future. If he can scare them enough when it comes time to vote, how do you think they will vote? Of course, they are not going to vote for the evil Republicans, it is because of them that they might not get their social security checks. Meanwhile, the Republicans are forced to play the game that President Obama has forced them into. It’s a difficult game the Republicans are forced to play, they can either give into Dictator Obama’s ways and drive America into the dirt faster or take the chance and possibly face an angry nation on election day. My hope and I am sure the Republicans have the same hope is that the American people are not as dumb as the President thinks we are. Then again, there are way too many uninformed voters out there that base their voting on what they heard on the 6:00 news.

Now since money seems to be the issue here lets take a look at the money. With no money to pay the social security checks that are to go out in August, President Obama has made sure that the United Nations, Egypt, Pakistan, and other countries around the world get their share of the United States money or in the case of Egypt, we will just forget the money they owe and we will give them more. So the United States borrows money from China only to give it to other countries. Only for the United States to have to pay China back for the money we gave away. Makes sense huh? Each year the United States gives billions of dollars to other countries for such things as peacekeeping, development assistance, AIDS, broadcasting, military training, fight the drug war, and my favorite; to leave other countries alone. Don’t think this is all of them, there are many many more. Please see the link below for a more detailed list. I don’t understand why the United States is putting other countries first when we can barely take care of our own. Well, I understand that we are to busy kissing ass to worry about our own. Meanwhile back on the farm, the uninformed voters are having the crap scared out of them by a dictator that have made our country worse then it was before. The uniformed voters have put this man in office, our nation’s future is in the hands of a man that is clueless to what is best for the American people. He doesn’t care that Americans are hurting, he doesn’t care that behind our backs other countries are laughing at us while we are handing them money hand over fist. I honestly believe that Barrack Hussein Obama is trying to kill America. He has not done one thing to benefit this country since taking office.

The Republicans are not giving into what our leader wants because they and their constituents feel this is not the best thing for America. What did I say? Yes, someone in Washington D.C. is doing their job. While Obama scares people into believing that they may not get their social security checks I can honestly say that I am sure he will get his pay check. Is that fair? Of course not but why should he care about the people. Now while we know the Republicans are watching out for America there are some people that believe that a budget agreement can’t be reached for other reasons. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) believes that the reason there can not be an agreement on the budget is because President Obama is black. Yes that’s right, our country is crashing down because he is black. Now here is the surprising part, Rep. Jackson Lee is black. I know, no great surprise there. She also asked why the President is being treated so disrespectful? Why, well that’s a simple answer, cause he is a moron, that is why. Barrack Hussein Obama is and has been nothing more than a wolf in sheep clothing. President Obama preached change in his run for office and that one word fooled enough people into voting for him. We got our change; the deficit has changed for the worse, unemployment has gotten worse, respect for America has gotten worse, and the the attitude of many Americans has gotten worse. Is this the change those of you that voted for him wanted? I hope not. However, this doesn’t surprise me if you take a look at some of Obama’s friends and supporters. For instance, George Soros; found guilty by a French Court for insider trading, gives millions of dollars to keep people on the welfare system instead of trying to help get them off the system, spends millions of dollars to legalize drugs, and spends millions of dollars on gun control. Well, looking at this in my opinion he wants to keep Americans in a position to rely on the government for their survival. Then there is my favorite; Bill Ayers, a predominate member of the Weatherman Underground Organization. While the Obama Administration will admit no connection between the two, there is proof elsewhere. Who is the Weather Underground you ask? During the 1960′s & 1970′s they were a radical left wing organization that bombed a Chicago Police Station, the Pentagon, and the Capitol. Trying to bring down our nation. Meanwhile, 40 years later, President Obama is using words to terrorize the American people where his good friend Bill Ayers used bombs. Which one is more dangerous? I believe the terrorism by words is. While the bombs may bring down buildings one at a time a man speaking the right words can bring down a nation at one time. President Obama’s words of rhetoric are scaring our nation’s people. The words are scaring the people that worked their whole lives to build America into what she was before President Obama and his friends began to their work to destroy her and what she stands for.

All I can tell you my fellow Americans, don’t believe in the words of a man that wants to destroy America, a man that supports America’s enemies, and a man that sees himself as the one that can save America by rewriting the Constitution of this country into his own idea of what America or even the world should be like. A man the believes it is more important to take care of other countries before he takes care of the one that he was sworn to protect. My fellow American’s don’t vote based of what this man says, vote based off of what you know. The enemy of Obama and those like him are the informed voters not the uninformed. Don’t just listen to what one side of the isle has to say listen to both and then and only then make your decision.

In God We Once Trusted

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

In America we have the First Amendment, the one that gives us our Freedom of Speech. While many people believe this is a great freedom to have and don’t get me wrong because it is, this freedom comes with many headaches and arguments. This comes to mind after the recent not guilty verdict handed down by a Florida jury in the case of Casey Anthony who was on trial for allegedly murdering her daughter. While I have to admit I really haven’t followed the case close because from the start I knew it would be a remake of the famous three ring circus trial of OJ Simpson in 1995. I was right, sadly. While the Casey trial had a lot of circumstantial evidence I am pretty sure most people believe she is guilty and will agree the prosecution did a terrible job. As the news broke of the not guilty verdict I seen many comments and heard many people say that she will pay in hell and God will make her pay. While I hope this is all true and God will make her pay it got me thinking about how God is such a difficult topic in America. We are always hearing how people are upset that their child was made to say The Pledge of Allegiance in schools and it offended them because of the words “under God” are in the pledge. What about our currency? Does it not say, “In God We Trust”? Does this offend them? If so maybe that should not use U.S. currency. Now, don’t get me wrong here. I am not a Bible beater here to preach to you. I am an American that knows and realizes that America was founded under the belief of God but we also wanted our citizens to have the right to freedom of religion. We wanted our citizens to have the right to choose their church, their choice of religion, and give them the choice of not having a God or a religion. Yes, I know those phrases have not always been used in the pledge or on money. However, they have been added over time and now it is an issue in the United States. Why is it an issue? Its an argument many times a day by people and its tying up our judicial system and costing our government money. Now when I was younger I did go to church and was semi active in the church, this is no longer true. While I still believe in God and I have read the Bible a few times, and I consider myself a christian I no longer go to church and I am not a big believer in the church. In fact, I look at the church as the largest organized crime family in the world. But this isn’t about the church; it’s about God in America.

Now I understand that many people may not believe in God or they may pray to a different God, but isn’t America for the people by the people? Well if so then I believe those people that believe in God or the christians are the majority. In fact, it is estimated that 83% of America is christian. Now I understand we should respect others beliefs but why do our beliefs have to suffer? This of course isn’t the first time the majority in America has made sacrifices to make the minorities happy. There are bigger issues facing America but yet this one keeps popping up. So, I’m going to have my say on the issue and give you a brief history lesson along the way.

The original Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by a Baptist minister named Francis Bellamy. He viewed this pledge as an ‘inoculation’ that would protect immigrants and the native-born but insufficiently patriotic Americans from the ‘virus’ of radicalism and subversion. Bellamy’s pledge was published in the September 8th issue of The Youth’s Companion, a popular children’s magazine. The Youth’s Companion published the pledge as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day. The celebration was being held in honor of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. The original pledge went as follows;
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Along the way a few changes were made to the pledge but it wasn’t until June 22, 1942 that the United States Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance as the official national pledge. This version of the Pledge went as follows;
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
In 1954 President Eisenhower, who was raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses but converted to Presbyterian in 1953, signed into law a Joint Resolution of Congress amending §7 of the Flag Code enacted in 1942. This new law added the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. Since 1954 our National Pledge has remained unchanged.
That is enough of the history lesson but there is more to the Pledge of Allegiance than what I have included here. Now I understand that not everyone want to say those two words. However, most of America does, remember about 83% of Americans are christians. So, if you don’t want to say those two words then here are some options for I recommend for you;
A. Say the pledge and just don’t say those two words.
B. Stand there in silence and be respectful while we pledge our allegiance.
C. Get the hell out of America if you are too ignorant to do options A or B.
Now, I was raised a Methodist. I had very little understanding or knowledge of the Catholic religion. Let me tell you my first experience with the Catholic religion was at a funeral. I was lost, confused and didn’t have any idea of what to do or when to do it. They would stand, kneel, sit, and speak as one to the priest. Instead of being rude and ignorant towards their religion and cause a fuss about not knowing what to do I just sat there quietly to myself. Nobody looked at me strange, nobody made fun of me, nobody questioned me. I was respectful to them and they were respectful to me and in the end nobody was upset. After the services had ended I even joked with a few of my Catholic friends about my confusion and they even found it amusing and told me that I did the right thing. The problem starts when people start forcing their beliefs on me then you can be damn sure I will get upset and share my opinion. Surprisingly, many people don’t agree with my opinion but through my writings I have found that many people do. Again, I have nothing agaist those that have different beliefs than me, just don’t force your beliefs on the majority that has a different belief than you. As stated before, I understand that America is about freedom, many freedoms but when did the majority become the minority? Our government and many of the people in America have become so worried about making others happy that the majority of people are getting stepped on.
I understand that there are Americans that do not believe in God or may even pray to a different God and that is your choice. I also understand that there are some conservatives that are trying to force christianity one everyone in America. I agree this is also wrong and once again the First Admendment protects us from this. Those that want to force their religious beliefs on anyone should be beaten with their Bible or whatever book they use in their religion. Everyone needs to realize that we have a freedom of religion in America but at the same time everyone needs to understand that christianity is what a majority of the people in America believe in. If an when the time comes that the majority of Americans are not christian then we should look at changing things until then lets leave it well enough alone. There are options there for those that do not wish to say the words “under God”. I will not fault you as long as your are respectful to those around you that wish to say it the way it is written. Everyone won’t be happy but we can compromise. Can’t we?
Now for those of you that follow me on Facebook I have taken advantage of the polls they have. I figured for the first time using the poll option on Facebook I would ask the following question; “Should the United States removes the words Under God from the Pledge of Allegiance? The following is a list of answers that were available to choose from; Hell No, No, Yes, and I Don’t Care. Now while I did receive an email brining to my attention that I am possibly leading people by having the two no answers. Well, maybe he is right. However, no matter how you look at it no is no whether it is Hell No or just plain no. As of the time of writing this article here is where the poll stands:
Hell No: 205 votes
No: 30 votes
Yes: 25 votes
I Don’t Care: 13 votes
While I understand Facebook is not a scientific poll, I am not a scientific person. However, I believe it still gets the point across. A few people even went as far as leaving comments and that is what I was truely hoping for. Now many of those that left comments were in favor of keeping those words and a few were against keeping them and a few didn’t care. There were also a few good points raised on all three sides, however my answer is, Hell No!
It is my belief that this country, our country was founded under God and the christian belief. I understand that many of the people that read my writings are from the South and are also Pro-Confederate. As am I and I wish the South would have won. I still wait for the day the South rises up and takes on the corrupt government in Washington D.C. I also believe that if states were to secede today, there would be more than the original 11 states. Until that day comes we are the United States of America. Both sides were very christian and still are today. While I love the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania my issue is with our government. However, its all comes back to the majority of Americans. There are compromises we can make on this issue. There are bigger issues facing America, there are more important issues facing America. We have a President in office that we need to get out, we have a deficit that we have to bring down, we are still fighting terrorism around the world working to make our homeland safer. Meanwhile, unemployment rates are still high, there are Americans starving and homeless and our education system is simply pathetic. How about we compromise on the Pledge of Allegiance. Until the other major issues facing America go away or when the majority of Americans are no longer christian we just leave it alone. You don’t have to say those two words or you can choose not to say the pledge at all just respect those of us that do. Also, for you Bible beaters that are annoying everyone and are trying to force christianity and God one everyone, you just need to STOP! Your preaching is doing anyone any good. America is the land of the free, this means we are free to choose our religion, so let us choose. We have a good thing with the Pledge of Allegiance, don’t ruin it for those of us that don’t want it changed. Again, its the majority, the majority of christians are not bible beaters preaching to the world. We are simple people that believe in God and we practice our christianity the way we feel best. Not the way the extremist do.
So, if the extreme Bible beaters shut up and stop forcing their beliefs on everyone and the non-christians can just understand that the majority of America is christian and they have options available everyone can be happy. In other words, can’t we all just get along and leave the damn thing alone?
