I grew up in the 50's and 60's very early 70's... I remember things were most definitely turning "anti-American" (as we knew it) in the 60's and kind of "mellowed" in the early 70's but the rift was still there through the 70's and into the 80's at least. The sad thing is that the liberals really seemed to catch on to the whole leftist movement and they continued to assert their multiple, varying agendas... into everything in earnest. In some places those "agendas" were adopted, quite often with tongue in cheek, wait and see implementations while others were "all in", "hell bent for" implementations. Either way, the conservatives in the country were taking a beating. After the dust settled we, the United States of America's conservatives came out of it with admitted losses to the left yet, we still retained many, if not most of our conservative values that we had in the 50's. Albeit, many of those values were diluted somewhat via the global elites push towards liberalism, socialism.
"Fast forward" to today. There's seemingly no end in sight to the liberal's goals. With each passing day I see another tacit "assault" on yet another one of our society's conservative "values", "icons"... Each year I see another inch of "ground, values" of conservative ideals ceded to the liberal movement. The liberals successfully argued that those conservative "ideals" lacked practicality for the period. I never bought off entirely on their "arguments", their liberal "movement" at the time but hey, I'm of the minority, or so it seems.
The liberals chinked and continue to chink away at our conservative culture one brick in the wall at a time. Lately their effort is beginning to show, to bear fruit for them. Are we as conservatives tiring of this endless fight, this never ending battle to retain our conservative values? Is it just me who sees what I believe is happening to our country, our society as a whole? Am I wrong to question the liberal's influence regarding our politics, our culture? I don't know society's 'preferred' answers to those questions but I'm assured I have been and still am on the right track, unless otherwise proven wrong.
As a conservative I question what's considered "conservative" today, given the liberal dilutions in the past and those proposed for the present, near and far future.
Conservative "values"? They're a huge stretch from what they used to be.

Teachers, Administrators With Guns?!
Why the hell NOT?!
Our most precious national resource is gene-rationally cultured and harbored in our K-12 schools throughout our country. We've labeled those schools "gun free" zones and in essence hung a target on any or all of our kids and grand-kids! We've even gone so far as to advertise the absence of firearms, the presence of vulnerable children and the school's inability to defend them with those damned "Gun Free Zone" signs posted all over the schools campuses.
I know when I was in school we learned how to handle, store, use and clean guns. Yeah, a public K-12 education system teaching us young hellions that stuff without any second thoughts involved. But then again, that was in the 50's-60's and my father had already broached guns, the handling, shooting, cleaning of them with my brothers and I. Things were more grounded back in those days. Our parents held us accountable for our actions and omissions. What we did we had to own up to. I don't recall hearing of any "mass shootings" let alone "shootings" in any of the schools I attended nor any of those schools in our state.
We even had rifle and pistol clubs. We would duck hunt in the morning on the way to school and again in the afternoon after football practice or on our way home.
Today, given the target rich environment we've created for those out here amongst us who might want to do harm to our children, our grandchildren via the "gun free zone" laws our legislators passed and the schools subsequently advertise I figured it was only a matter of time. And it was... quite awhile ago. It's getting past insane! It's getting to be borderline criminal to deny an adult every tool, every right to defend ourselves, our children, to defend those who we've been morally and/or legally empowered to protect.
In short, I couldn't believe legislators were disarming those of us who are very capable defenders, of our final options of self defense and defense of others by making our schools "gun free zones" AND ADVERTISING IT!
It's so sad that it takes these types of human caused tragedies resulting from the restriction of our constitutional rights to create new laws that otherwise afford us our basic constitutional rights, for the protection of ourselves, of others!
America, wake up! If we restrict guns then only those of us who are responsible, law abiding citizens will lose our guns. The criminal element? Yeah, they'll be that much more emboldened... and armed to boot.
I purposely avoided discussing the most recent Florida school massacre on this site until now. Now it seems like there just might be a return to sanity, to favor in err of our children, our most precious resources. To regain and maintain one of our most fundamental basic rights afforded us... the right to keep and bear arms... And I will continue to keep and bear arms to protect myself and those in need from evil when relevant. Kudos to Senator Dennis Baxley for his legislative proposal that suggests teachers and administrators should be allowed to be armed with a firearm while on a school campus.
Chalk this up as a "vent"! Or if you want, a "rant"... I could care less. I just think it's so darned sad to have another avoidable tragedy (like all of these school shootings are) go down and once again no one was equipped to effectively eliminate the threat before the threat could kill our children. This law should never have needed to have been introduced. The basic, fundamental right to defend our children, ourselves from evil with whatever force is necessary should never have been shelved by a bunch of fat cat legislators in the first place, let alone anyone else!

The Republicans and Their National Election Opportunities
Here's how things are shaping up in several respective state's political processes. Things shouldn't be all that bad for Republicans so long as they continue to keep their fingers on the pulse of us, the citizens of this country. Those of us on the right have to ensure our chosen politicos understand they're representing our interests first and foremost. Not theirs, not their own self serving ways.
So, here's FOX's latest take on the national election picture for this cycle. It should be another good election cycle for those of us on the right who actually seem to care for our country.
MAGA

"Returning" to Politics In 2018?
That failed POS-exPOTUS Obama can say what he wants but it's obvious the fool never left his hapless attempt at politics. It appears to me he's trying to announce to the world that he's ready to step back into the arena and throw his tight fitting, self loving hat into many liberal politico candidate rings in preparation for the 2018 elections.
Personally, I hope he does!
During Obummer's horribly inept two terms as our failed POTUS the "Republicans gained 14 governor seats, 15 US Senate seats, 68 US House seats and more than 1400 state legislative seats. Since then, the demos won one (Ala) US Senate seat back. Oh yes, the demo party has lost .02% of their party's moderate membership to the Independent groups, who are now voting Republican." Now that's a great record to toss out there, if you're a Republican.
If I were a democrat I'd be fighting suicidal thoughts right about now. Obama must have a pretty sparkling image of himself. It's painfully obvious to the rest of us, those who can see the truth through the smoke and mirrors that Obama's a blight on his precious democrats, liberal minions. His endorsement is the kiss of death to a wannabe politico.
But then again his golf game has improved, or so I read somewhere.
I double dog dare you Barry, throw that hat into the ring. PLEASE!!!!

Last Weeks Mainstream Media "OOOPS"!
Here's just two for fun. I didn't want to screw up my Sunday thing but these were just too much fun to read.
Let's start with the Clinton News Network and their screwed up information re: Jeff Sessions and his "required" disclosures relating to foreign "officials"... CNN screwed it up. Retraction, silence.
We also have the Washington Post (WaPo) carrying out their usual disinformation campaign via the "empty stadium" claims at a rally for our POTUS Donald J. Trump. WaPo admitted they were wrong but refused to fire the person responsible for the intentional distortion of facts. i.e. lies. WaPo values the liars input. That's understandable given WaPo's credibility and integrity, or lack thereof.
And though I already mentioned the WaPo and CNN "screw ups" above I forgot to mention CNN's having to "walk back" their claims that WikiLeaks conspired with our POTUS Donald J. Trump a couple awhile back regarding the email hacks of the Butcher Bitch of Benghazi, hillary clinton's emails.
CNN, WaPo, their affiliates and oh-so-many-more... they're the gifts that keep on giving!
These are just three examples I culled out of my email for this week. I threw a bunch more out with the trash. I wish we could toss CNN and WaPo out with the trash as well. Them and several more.

Clintons, Democrats, RINOs and Sexual Perversions...
They're all the same!
They'll abuse folks, demonize those who speak out against them, ruin the lives of those they victimize and scheme to scam all of us into believing their accusers are "in it for the money" or "in it for notoriety". Yeah, right. Even that POSPOTUS obama's adminstrators are coming out of their closets and providing their two cents worth, and it ain't anything positive re: those clinton folks, fellow democrats and their RINO toys.
I'm beginning to believe the water level in this swamp is lowering and exposing the debris stuck in the scum and mud on the bottom.
First, that hillary clinton thing. She's turned her head the other way when it comes to bill clinton's sexual misconduct so much that she has no idea which way is forward these days. She's so used to looking elsewhere to avoid her tragic reality. The life she chose for herself. She can't find the trail out of her and bill's demented world that they live in and it's her own fault. But let her reap what she and bill sowed.
But let's not stop there. Wander over and check out all of the other folks, liberal "artisans", producers, directors, "actors", athletes, preachers, priests, imams, moolahs, etc. They're all being exposed. They're being exposed by their victims, by the rest of us and there's nowhere for their sorry, depraved souls to hide.
So they lie and continue to lie. Like that old saying, that old errant piece of "advice"... "even if you're caught on top, LIE".
Let them all rot in hell.

Good ol' boy Franken
Isn't he a gem?! He's been running around for decades decrying the immoral, corrupt police, he was elected on a "throw them out" platform demanding that the corruption and pandering cease and desist in Washington D.C. and anywhere else his fellow politicos wander.
He's called for the heads of a lot of his fellow politicos and is currently demanding a political lynching for Moore.
Now, it seems he's the center of attention himself. You know, one of those "aw shat" center of attention moments. I can't help but find it hilarious. I don't know Franken, don't care about Franken, don't respect Franken and would never vote for him but this latest "gaff" of his?! It's a classic example of fantastic poetic justice.
And his fellow demoncrats and other politicos. You know them. The ones who have been screaming for Moore's head on a platter, for the Republicans to be held accountable for "womanizing", "groping", "demeaning", "sexually abusing" female and male citizens while "serving" us, their constituents.
You have to truly appreciate the level of Democrat morality and their sincerity in ferreting out the truth when they or one of their own are exposed. They'll toss their "morality" aside, compromise it in very short order to secure a party seat anywhere in government. But then again I'm pretty sure the Republicans would do the same.
Yeah, those same democrats who damn and try so very hard to demonize anyone else, any Republican or independent who might be a challenge to them, their party are "all in" for us, their constituents so much that they're willing to overlook, forgo sexual harassment in their ranks. After all, they ARE the Democrats.
Yeah, right. Those democrats... it's so entertaining to see them squirm when the whole situation is turned back on them.
It's going full circle on them and as absurd and as decadent as it all is their reactions are wholly beyond the pale. Now they're worried about losing a seat. They're no longer worried about the "poor, helpless victims". They're no longer worried about the sexual predators who just happen to be running this country from both sides of the aisle.
Nope! It's nothing more than politics. They're worried about losing a seat to the "other party".
Move along folks, nothing to see here.
We need TERM LIMITS!

Nazi Germany and its post victory plans
What would have been in store for the world?
Well, for starters the Brits would be minus most, if not all of their men. The muslims would be running rampant in the Middle East (wait, they're near that now), the Japanese would be controlling a third of the world- for awhile, Jews, Blacks, Christians other than Jehovah's Witnesses would be exterminated.
All Slavs would be enslaved forever. But that's just a start.
Hitler, he had a plan. An international plan he and his chosen allies created and were going to employ. It included world domination and it wasn't too forgiving for those who weren't in "lock step" with his Nazi beliefs. But first, he and his followers, handlers had to dominate the world.
He was labeled a "mad man" but he really was nothing more than just another politico whose lust for power pushed him over the edge... or was his plan "over the edge" at the time?
It makes you wonder...
They called it "10 Plans" but in actuality, it was only one. He had nations following his lead. Surely the mindset at the time wasn't that Hitler was a madman. He was but I can't buy off on the fact that so many "rational" nations followed his lead knowing he was a "madman", insane, in lust for power. Nope. I'm believing Hitler was a tool used by those who wanted world domination. A domination that would be settled amongst the victors well after the dust of the war had settled. A domination that all parties knew wouldn't come overnight, without serious consequences for those who resisted.
Either way, the article's an interesting though brief read.
It smacks of some political discussions we've witnessed by those who we have in power today and some who wish they were back in power. We, the people countered the ingrained politicos' wishes and elected a non-political person as our POTUS. They're seizing our decision as a sleight of face to them and they're hell-bent on making us atone for not "following" their glorious path to global rule.
Hence, they're doing all they can and will continue to do all they can to eliminate the current threat to their plans and force us back onto their path of servitude to them that they have chosen for us. Yep, these politicos today are nothing more than pawns. They're not here to serve us rather, they believe we're here to serve them and they serve those who "pay" their way.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the global politicos have their "Hitler" type plan ready to employ when they get the opportunity to employ it.

Well, I'm heading out to decap some range brass for a bit.

RUDY!!! RUDY!!! RUDY!!!
Is he or isn't he going to be our country's next Attorney General?
All I can say is there's chaos everywhere. Intentionally designed political chaos from all interests. If we're not hearing about the demoncrats then it's the republicans, the tea party crowd, the socialists, the libertarians....
It's getting old. It's getting close to time to clean house and move forward.

Dead People Have A Right To Vote Too!
If they're democrats or liberals. Or even RINOs.
Just ask Andrew Spieles. He signed up a bunch of Virginia's departed souls for the Demoncrats during this last election, at least.
Hey no harm, no foul! Right? Voter fraud's illegal but you only get time if you're stupid enough to get caught. Spieles was stupid enough to get caught. He pled guilty. He'll be out in a hundred or so days and will be a bit wiser by the time the next election comes around. Or not. He is a lib after all. These new libs, they're a bit thick skulled and are definitely more "in your face" self serving than the old, sneaky bastards were so that just might not equate to "lesson learned".
I do believe he'll be back though. Greed, lust for power, authority... it will fuel his and other liberal's greed. It always does. The registering of dead or alive "voters" will most likely go much smoother the next time around for him. He's taken a hit for "the team".
The liberals, democrats and many republicans will tend to his needs.

This is what our mainstream media would have us all believe if they could. We're not THIS stupid!
A shout out and "Thank You" to a good friend for the share. Also, it's been brought to my attention by several folks that the comments section on this blog isn't working. I'm trying to remedy that.
Feel free to send any information via email that you might want posted here and after a review I'll most likely post it.
Thanks in advance!

James Comey was a failed FBI Chief... or did he intentionally "fail"?
Well, word has it that James Comey lied under oath but hey, I'm not following the hearings that much these days simply because they're nothing more than a show, a song and dance. Comey can and most likely will lie all he wants to but nothing will shake out of it. I see little, if any difference between the republicans and the democrats these days other than the fact that the politicos in each party are all about destroying the "other" party... democrats want republicans gone, republicans want democrats gone. Both are liberal as all get out in my book.
Comey was either derelict or he intentionally failed to adequately conclude key investigations as an agent and as the FBI chief.
Comey appears to have been heavily influenced by the likes of Obama, Clinton, Lynch and many, many other politicos who had (and still have) their sights set on the final push to bring our nation to its knees and make our republic a socialist state.
He and the rest of the politicos almost pulled it off were it not for the true power of the vote by the people!

POTUS Donald J. Trump won't invoke Executive Privilege re: Comey's testimony.
If our POTUS Donald J. Trump doesn't want Comey's testimony to be heard then why won't he shut Comey up?!
Take a look for yourself. Maybe this is why!
The liberals would have us all believe they're wholly above the law and above board. We all know better. Any politico... ANY POLITICO who has their mouth open and is speaking is either lying or is thinking about lying on the next sentence if necessary.
Demoncrats, Republicans... any partisan politician tends to lie and/or otherwise deceive their listeners to get the politico's point across.
Our POTUS Donald J. Trump isn't a part of that POLITICO fraternity... yet. He's a businessman, NOT a politico.
But he might turn into one.
I hope not.

A blue collar perspective. Over five decades of change...
I read a disturbing article in a recent lib rag The Week that was authored by a flaming lib (huffington-puffington post's own Samantha Paige Rosen) who suggests the republicans are responsible for the increase and continued dependence on welfare by our population (note I don't say "citizens"). For the record, I am neither a republican or a democrat... I have no party affiliation and recognize good and bad in all party politics though I do realize it's become a necessary evil, this party politic thing.
I wrote the following comment in response to that article...
We had a good family friend who ran a local construction company back in the 1950's through the mid 1980's. He served on ship in the Navy throughout WWII and rumor had it he won a sizeable chunk of property in Washington State from another sailor in a poker game. After the war he was discharged from the Navy and traveled to Washington to look at the property. He decided to stay and started a small construction/development company. I worked for him and his sons for years when I was growing up. We built houses, barns, garages, stores, gas stations, neighborhoods, schools... anything. He took immense pride in taking on the "small jobs" as well as the "big jobs" in the community. He'd employ local kids like me during the summer and spring and winter breaks to teach us a trade, help us learn responsibilities, work ethic, etc. and pay us hourly wages higher than minimum wage. He'd insist that we pay into Social Security. Nothing was "under the table". If something happened medically to us on or off the job he'd either help us or our parents foot the bill or pay it outright, depending on the medical need and the situation. His whole family was employed in the business as well.
When the Dems seized power in the carter days he started getting "nickled and dimed" to death by new government fees, additional permit requirements, new, more stringent government regulations, new types of permits and higher permit fees, new taxes at the local, state and federal levels that made it financially impractical to participate in certain types of construction, locally and elsewhere. He downsized his work force in direct correlation to the demand. When the Reagan era kicked in he saw a good bump in business and renewed his community effort re: providing employment for the local kids. However, he had to compete against a new group of "contractors". Those who were hiring illegals and throwing them into the market at "minimum wage" (rarely did the workers receive minimum wage but the contractors charged their clients minimum wage at least, usually scale wage). This was in the 1950's through the mid 1980's.
Though still active his business today is a small office that manages business properties, low income rentals and sells some real estate that remains owned by the corporation. It's a minute fraction of what it once was and yet it still tries to employ some youth in the community. The problem is few want to work the jobs offered. They'd just as soon "play" through the school's summer, winter and spring breaks than learn a trade, learn some work ethic and learn how to provide for themselves, at least.
He died several years ago. He was one helluva mentor, a dear friend and like a second father to my brother and I. I'm sure he'd be ashamed of the youth today. Al was a democrat to the core! He never "blamed" anyone for the business downturn but did tell me to "stay out of politics!" one time when I showed a hankering for it. He said it's an evil, destructive cancer citing it's "the bane of freedom, of democracy".
Al! You are so VERY RIGHT! As usual, I want to thank you for your blue collar wisdom!
Rest In Peace Al!

We're rapidly losing our freedoms!
The Obama regime has taken another step in their efforts to silence their many, many critics. The most recent has been the assault on "WordPress" (blogetry)... 73,000 blogs removed as a result of federal regime censorship.
Taken down by the DOJ. The same DOJ who refused to press charges against the New Black Panthers members for their blatant and reprehensible intimidation of legal voters waiting to vote. The same DOJ who filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona for having the balls, the guts to enforce the federal laws on the books and protect our borders, our freedoms from illegal entries... a duty to protect and serve us, the citizens of this once great nation that the federal government refuses to do.
We're becoming victims of a growing anarchy. It's an intentional growth... well thought out, by design.
Check out the story here or you can also check it out here.
Either way, we are beginning our indoctrination towards socialism whether we like it or not. If we choose to criticize, to speak out against this overbearing, over reaching government we're silenced by their backroom actions. How long are we going to have to put up with these Chicago socialists taking our rights away one right at a time? They're not even trying to hide the fact that they're hell bent on stripping us of our freedoms, our rights.
This current regime is in place and in pace to destroy our nation as we know it. To destroy our freedoms, our rights, our lives and drag us into that social experiment that's failed everywhere it's been tried... socialism.
The politicos... democrats, independents and republicans alike are making it or letting it happen. It has to stop!
The current regime serves roughly 32% of this nation's people and is running roughshod over the remaining 68%. How do you like that "change" now, Obama voters? Like it or not we're well on our way to anarchy.
There's more to read at the Noisy Room! site. Get educated.
We are being consumed from within.

Our President And Constitutional Scholar... Obama
This is an anonymous post to another blog from a very rational individual... it makes total sense and paints a really ugly picture of our current state of affairs. In short... y'all have been duped!
Remember? I didn't vote for him or his "change"... most of you did. How are you liking that "change" now fools?
Here goes... read it and learn something:
FROM: An individual who wishes to remain anonymous...
"Our fearless leader is absolutely amazing! I think I love him more and more each day. I have to admire the brazen bravery it takes for a constitutional scholar to stand and say, “So after they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. (Laughter.) No! (Laughter and applause.) You can’t drive! (Applause.) We don’t want to have to go back into the ditch! We just got the car out! (Applause.) We just got the car out!”
Really it is amazing nerve to be the President of the United States and know that you can look the American people in the eye and lie to them with the knowledge that a complicit media will either be so ignorant of the constitution or so lock step with your agenda that they won't challenge you!
Remember the prosperity of the 80's when Reagan lead and convinced the congress into accepting his plans? Remember the prosperity of the 90's? Things really got hot after the Republicans took control of the House (constitutional purse strings) in 1995. By 1998 we had budget surpluses and our economy was on fire. By 2001, a natural down swing began and just as the constitution allowed, the leader, Bush asked the Congress to follow his agenda and create a business friendly environment using tax breaks and tax cuts. We managed to keep our economy sailing even though we had 2 wars and natural disasters to set us back. By 2004, the climate in our country was changing. Folks against the wars were disgruntled and began roaring for change. Americans weren't worried about a glowing economy and allowed the DEMS to take the house. By 2006 the DEMS had both houses and Barney Frank and company held the purse strings. They had some marvelous ideas … ratcheting up spending for their pet projects and forcing Fanny and Freddy to make loans to folks who had no means of paying for the money. In 2008, gas prices nearly tripled in a 4 month span and all of us were tapped out of cash... the poor most completely. The housing crisis exploded and we brought President Obama in to save our world. Just what was he able to convince his Congress to do?
Well, the first thing he did was make sure the folks that borrowed money they could never repay were helped out by those of us who could never afford to borrow the money in the first place. (I am a tax payer but wasn't dumb enough to be seduced by the loan offers of the time) Then, he found a way to force Health Care on us … which folks... read it and find out... raises the cost of health care for folks that pay for it. (me again!) Now, he's going to destroy domestic oil production and put all those folks out of work so that he can get his Congress to pass the Cap and Tax scam!
Folks, the Republicans aren't much better drivers than the DEMS – but let me say this – when your constitutional scholar president stands in front of you and smiles as he purposely misleads you – PLEASE don't let him get away with it! The Republicans drive poorly, but the DEMS are the ones who put the car in the ditch and the DEMS are the ones who maxed out the American Tax Payer Credit Card trying to fix the wreck with patch work parts that are going to fall off as soon as we get a few miles down the road. SHAME on you Mr. President and shame on all of us for being so ignorant that we would allow him to speak falsely without challenge."
Very well put! Sadly, it's on the mark.

What this government can do for you!
Whether you want it or not.
I read an interesting post over at the Blue Crab Boulevard site this morning. Gaius posts an interesting suggestion that the "left" in this country is far removed from liberal. It's argued that those politicos who comprise the current left "are more authoritarian than the culture that the Woodstock generation rebelled against."
I'm inclined to agree. I've thought this for quite some time... that the "left", the current politicos in power are beyond liberal. Granted, some of their ideologies were spawned in liberalism (social health care, immigrant amnesty, cap and trade, global warming, etc.) but that's where it ends.
Step back and take a look at what's happening. Peel back the rhetoric, the glossy spin by the media, the veil of deceit. This particular political administration is building a foundation of control! A foundation that will support total, tyrannical social and economic dependence. A foundation to support subtle (for now) yet suffocating government influence in our daily lives.
This government is not "liberal" or "conservative" as we know it. They tapped into the liberal base of this fine nation to garnish support for their overall agenda and got it with promises yet to be realized. They tapped into that base to divide, conquer and control... to deflect from their true agenda. Their agenda was not created for us, the citizens. It's not designed to be a four or eight year ride and it's certainly not a new, innovative theme. The basic plan is clear... control, AUTHORITY!
Given their current agenda, they propose that the government feeds off of communal wealth, the government shall provide to the populace what the government deems necessary, the government shall deny to the populace what the government forbids, the government shall punish and tax individual success.
It's quite frankly an agenda of control and authority that we're being force fed. Currently, we're not buying it. We're questioning their intentions, their goals and we need to! We need to continue to question, to deny, to resist this administration's attempts to herd us into their paddocks of authority, control. We're independent sorts with freedom, individuality, independence and pride flowing through our veins.
Why would we give up what we have, what we want, what we know... our dreams, our very existence to blindly follow a shadowy group of politicos into a future of servitude?
Nope, this new LEFT government is not liberal by any means! They're very authoritarian, very controlling and very focused on their goals. Quite frankly they're a threat to our freedoms, our very existence as we know it. To them it's all about control, authority, POWER!
Yeah, we were promised change! Personally, I can live without their proposed changes.
Power corrupts!

An open letter regarding health care reform
From: A United States Citizen
To: Every politician in America!
Re: That proposed health care fiasco you've all got in the works back there in Washington D.C.
Hi Folks,
Let me set the record straight at the "get-go" here... I'm a normal, well educated blue collar guy who has absolutely no political party affiliation... just contempt and disgust for the politics of the day.
You politicos are making us, your fellow citizens, your "constituents" the most recent victims of your political shenanigans. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of being lied to, cheated, deceived and taken for granted. Take your political crap elsewhere, you're ruining our lives here!
I'm a mid 50 yrs. old Washingtonian. I'm a son, brother, uncle, husband, friend, father and grandfather. Like my father and several brothers before me I served our country as a soldier the United States Army. I was and still am very well aware that my health would always be one of those priorities in life. I knew I had to provide for it's care. I also learned early on that our U.S.A. citizenship everyone of you politicos seem to want to trade off or give away nowadays is an earned citizenship and should be respected, cherished and protected by everyone who possesses it. It should not, cannot, will not be handed out willy nilly or traded off for political favors or future votes.
It needs to stay that way!
Anyways, back to this health care thing you got brewing back there in ol' D.C. land.
When I married in the mid 70's I took on those shared responsibilities associated with marriage, family... life. I've always worked... from the age of 13 years old through today I've always had a job of some sort. I've always willingly participated in a health care plan offered by any of my several employers. I sacrificed financially in other areas of my life so I could afford those health care premiums. That was my choice. Most of the time those "sacrifices" were nominal... including foregoing certain unnecessary "perks" such as premium cable t.v., coffee, "sin" comforts (cigarettes, candy, soda, etc.), fancy cars and trucks, season tickets to sporting events, recreational vehicles, vacations, gourmet meals, fine wines, trendy clothes, etc. to ensure I had the money to pay the necessities for my family. My wife and I both contributed to the cause of raising and providing for our family since we married over 32 years ago.
I've lived with, befriended and otherwise witnessed those who, unlike us willingly chose to forego some of those same "necessities" in life like health care in favor of some of those life's perks I previously mentioned. At times I've seen them scramble to sell what they can, to liquidate some of their "toys" just to make a medical payment of one type or another for medical services that resulted from some unexpected mishap or illness. Now more-so than earlier in life... attribute that to age and health. I watch as they now sacrifice what we sacrificed for years and realize they made the choice, the decisions earlier in life that brought them to where they are today... older with poor or no health insurance coverages and having those pre-existing conditions they never thought they, themselves would ever have.
I want to feel sorry for them and help them but then again I think about the overall situation they're in and realize they're the reason they're having the health and medical issues that they're having. They made bad choices earlier and now the results of those choices are difficult if not impossible to turn around.
I've made several bad choices myself over the years but I've learned to account for them, learn from them and adapt however difficult it was. That's part of what I thought being and American was all about… the freedom and ability to choose, to negotiate hardships and to reason and succeed, or fail if you so choose. I do believe in helping my neighbor but I don't believe in giving up what I know works and what I've sacrificed to maintain just so those who want what I have can have it without making the same sacrifices I've made most of my life.
I'm certainly not alone.
They see the care we've paid for all these years and now they want it too...
Let it be known that we have "free" clinics, medicare, medicaid, mandatory emergent health care requirements imposed on health care providers, reduced rate health care options, co-pay options, veterans care, etc. available for some of the best health care in the world. People who cannot afford or choose not to subscribe to private health care plans regularly utilize these "free" or reduced fee social health cares.
I truly don't want to see the health care that I've contributed to and participated in all of these years be taxed out of existence or otherwise rendered defunct because our federal government wants to socialize the whole health care system in this, our fine country. I don't want my neighbor paying for my government proposed health care simply because that fine neighbor took certain risks that I wouldn't take earlier in life and generated an income greater than $250,000.00. I don't want to have others carry my weight for me. I can do it on my own as I have for the past 40 or so years. I've planned ahead and realize I'll still have to make some sacrifices in life to maintain adequate health care coverage for myself and my wife... not to mention those in our family who aren't able to yet. I don't want to see our existing health care be reduced to another government boondoggle. I don't want the government making medical choices for me or my loved ones. I'll pay the premiums and I'll accept the service provided by my current provider but I surely don't want to see government interference in the care that we currently have.
I'm not in favor of the health care reform as it exists. You're all moving way to fast! You haven't convinced this taxpayer that you know what you're doing, you aren't being "fair and unbiased" and you certainly aren't looking out for what's best for us, the citizens!
Finally, I recognize health care in one form or another... primarily emergent health care should be available for everyone in this country when the need arises for that emergent care. However, I will not vote for any public servant who insists general, socialized health care paid for by the very citizens of this country should be available to those who are in this country illegally or without citizenship status.
For what it's worth politicos, I'm urging you to vote "NO" against this proposed health care reform. Democrat-Republican- I don't care! Lose the partisan politics crap and think about us, the voters, this country's citizens, your employers for once! This health care reform bill... it's a boondoggle and it's a very, very bad idea!
If reform's necessary (and in many ways I believe it is) then let's slow down, study it and do it right. I don't want to be force fed another federal government mess and I sure as heck don't want my children and grandchildren left to carry the water for me and others. It's a matter of practicality, principle and pride... not to mention knowing what's right from wrong.
Wake up, do the right thing and abandon this plan. It's a horrible plan and will surely cost us more than we can afford collectively as a nation!
Thanks for reading this. Hopefully it will be supported by scores of thousands of others who share the same or similar thoughts or beliefs.
Sincerely,
A proud, voting, blue collar, tax paying citizen of the United States of America
To: Every politician in America!

My wife and I both contributed to the cause of raising and providing for our family since we married over 32 years ago.
I've lived with, befriended and otherwise witnessed those who, unlike us willingly chose to forego some of those same "necessities" in life like health care in favor of some of those life's perks I previously mentioned. At times I've seen them scramble to sell what they can, to liquidate some of their "toys" just to make a medical payment of one type or another for medical services that resulted from some unexpected mishap or illness. Now more-so than earlier in life... attribute that to age and health. I watch as they now sacrifice what we sacrificed for years and realize they made the choice, the decisions earlier in life that brought them to where they are today... older with poor or no health insurance coverages and having those pre-existing conditions they never thought they, themselves would ever have.
I want to feel sorry for them and help them but then again I think about the overall situation they're in and realize they're the reason they're having the health and medical issues that they're having. They made bad choices earlier and now the results of those choices are difficult if not impossible to turn around.
I've made several bad choices myself over the years but I've learned to account for them, learn from them and adapt however difficult it was. That's part of what I thought being and American was all about… the freedom and ability to choose, to negotiate hardships and to reason and succeed, or fail if you so choose. I do believe in helping my neighbor but I don't believe in giving up what I know works and what I've sacrificed to maintain just so those who want what I have can have it without making the same sacrifices I've made most of my life.
I'm certainly not alone.
They see the care we've paid for all these years and now they want it too...
Let it be known that we have "free" clinics, medicare, medicaid, mandatory emergent health care requirements imposed on health care providers, reduced rate health care options, co-pay options, veterans care, etc. available for some of the best health care in the world. People who cannot afford or choose not to subscribe to private health care plans regularly utilize these "free" or reduced fee social health cares.
I truly don't want to see the health care that I've contributed to and participated in all of these years be taxed out of existence or otherwise rendered defunct because our federal government wants to socialize the whole health care system in this, our fine country. I don't want my neighbor paying for my government proposed health care simply because that fine neighbor took certain risks that I wouldn't take earlier in life and generated an income greater than $250,000.00. I don't want to have others carry my weight for me. I can do it on my own as I have for the past 40 or so years. I've planned ahead and realize I'll still have to make some sacrifices in life to maintain adequate health care coverage for myself and my wife... not to mention those in our family who aren't able to yet. I don't want to see our existing health care be reduced to another government boondoggle. I don't want the government making medical choices for me or my loved ones. I'll pay the premiums and I'll accept the service provided by my current provider but I surely don't want to see government interference in the care that we currently have.
I'm not in favor of the health care reform as it exists. You're all moving way to fast! You haven't convinced this taxpayer that you know what you're doing, you aren't being "fair and unbiased" and you certainly aren't looking out for what's best for us, the citizens!
Finally, I recognize health care in one form or another... primarily emergent health care should be available for everyone in this country when the need arises for that emergent care. However, I will not vote for any public servant who insists general, socialized health care paid for by the very citizens of this country should be available to those who are in this country illegally or without citizenship status.
For what it's worth politicos, I'm urging you to vote "NO" against this proposed health care reform. Democrat-Republican- I don't care! Lose the partisan politics crap and think about us, the voters, this country's citizens, your employers for once! This health care reform bill... it's a boondoggle and it's a very, very bad idea!
If reform's necessary (and in many ways I believe it is) then let's slow down, study it and do it right. I don't want to be force fed another federal government mess and I sure as heck don't want my children and grandchildren left to carry the water for me and others. It's a matter of practicality, principle and pride... not to mention knowing what's right from wrong.
Wake up, do the right thing and abandon this plan. It's a horrible plan and will surely cost us more than we can afford collectively as a nation!
Thanks for reading this. Hopefully it will be supported by scores of thousands of others who share the same or similar thoughts or beliefs.
Sincerely,
A proud, voting, blue collar, tax paying citizen of the United States of America

Sarah Palin calls it quits!
Announced by Sarah Palin earlier today, July 03, 2009.
Effective July 26, 2009 she will step down as Alaska's Governor.
Can you blame her?
Now maybe she can get some respite from the mainstream media.
She'll be missed but I'm thinking she's not out of the game entirely. Okay, I'm hoping she's not.
Good luck Sarah. Thanks for your service to this fine country and to the state of Alaska.
Relax. Go enjoy your family and be at peace with yourself. You've been put through crap that not to many of us would have subjected ourselves to. You're one helluva person! Thanks.
