A Government Shutdown

With all the talk of the Government shutdown, and the finger pointing that has been going on, why even listen to what anything these morons have to say ? I think Allen West has some credibility. He was on Greta last night, and what he said and the way he said things was very different from the other leaders in charge of our future (please excuse the poor video) When asked about the shutdown, he gave an honest and direct answer that told us all that a few key Democrats were were stonewalling, and he also said that we had to remember with a budget for the 111th Congress The left can say what they want, but this new group of Republicans that entered D.C this year mean business, and I think the more time they spend there, the more they will find that will embarrass the leaders on both sides of the isle. The best part about all of this is Obama launched his re-election bid on Monday. Are you kidding me ? Really ?

Dream Act

It seems to me that the lame ducks in Washington are carrying a heavy load on their backs with all the people jumping on looking to get bills passed before the e Republicans come in and start cleaning up things.

Do we really need another path to citizenship when these people have all this time to become legal ?

This is just a chance to allow an amnesty bill to slip through, and allow a larger Democratic voting base to keep the Socialistic agenda moving forward.

These people have had enough time, and have used enough American resources to get where they are. The clock stops now.

Anthony Weiner should be prosecuted for treason and shipped to the border with whatever he has in his pockets, and anyone else there in the crowd that could not produce citizenship should have been loaded up and carted off as well.

We have moved beyond the point of just looking the other way, and just waving our hands and saying " well, he is a good guy, he is OK "

No more, it is time to stop being a doormat for the rest of the world. We need to stand up and say NO MORE !

You are hurt, hungry ? Fine, here are some bandages, an aspirin, and a sandwich, go home. We have our own people here in this country need to work, that need to survive, and when we resolve our issues, then maybe we could allow a few to enter.

Don't agree ?

Then open your door and let them come and stay at your house and eat your food for free. Let some illegals walk right in and have the run of your home and take whatever they need without giving back, and see how long you allow it to happen.

For months now, I have heard folks say " I can see November from my house "
Well, here we are.
Last night I cruised around the 24 hour news channels and listened to all the predictions and all the polls, and all the reasons as to why each candidate was ahead or behind in their state.
Are the Republicans really looking at making a sweep because the they are the better candidate, or just the lesser of the two evils ?
Recently I posted about the extent others would go to just to draw attention and cause violence. I used the incident at a Rand Paul event, not to endorse Paul, but just to call attention to the extremes of some of the folks that had different views.
This brought some information to my attention that I did not know about, courtesy of my friend Laryen that I had not read before, and as expected caused some debate with another friend of mine, Jeremy .
My point is, today the theatrics end, the debate ends, and all the analyzing ends.
Will this be a day of hope and change ? Who knows, but a large majority of Americans are not happy with the way the current administration, and the Democratic Congress and Senate have done things.
A lesser of two evils will probably not make anything any better, but at this point, Americans are drowning and they are reaching for for anything that is thrown to them.
That's what makes it sad, that these are the best we could come up with.

Joy Behar Is Educating Us All

Here is your modern day liberal.

Here is your defeated left wing.

Yes indeed, she has nothing else to say, not one good word about her incumbent Harry Reid, just attack Sharon Angle.

And whats the big deal with coming to the South Bronx ? Is she admitting that it is a trash hole right there in her back yard that people should be afraid of ? Is she playing some sort of race card ?

The best part was Behar screaming about Angle going to hell. Behar is supposed to be an Agnostic, pretty much the same as an atheist.

Please don't try to school me on the difference because when it comes down to it, she does not believe in god, so why would she think someone would go to hell ?

Behar is nothing but a twisted bitter prune, but she is doing a great job showing the liberals for what they really are

Lauren Valle vs Rand Paul

Top row, second second from the left.

That's the woman that got her head " stomped " the other night at a Rand Paul event.

A verified paid protester that seems to have nothing better to do but the work of the left wing.

This is a group mug shot of Valle and her friends taken by Port of Fourchon Harbour Police and LaFourche Parish Sheriffs office for trespass and vandalism.

The left has many of these kinds of people sent out to stir up violence and to cause problems, that is their only job in life, their only responsibility, and they hold a rather large flame to a very short fuse.

Take a close look, enlarge he video if you have to, but look closely at Valle's face between the 14 through the 26 second time frames.
She is laughing.
Laughing at all of them because she accomplished what she came for.
And another thing, who took the video ?
It was real convenient that they were in the right place at the right time, don't you think ?
I should have named this post Lauren Valle scams us all.

No Support and No Change

I am not at all biased as to the sites I visit. I am open to every ones ideas about music, food, relationships, and yes of course, politics.
This morning was no different, and I made my rounds reading the feelings of some folks thinking Steve Colbert should be drug through the streets, and some thinking he is a shining example of just what a huge joke Congress has become.
I turned to a blog I sometimes go to today that must have picked up on the posts that I had done on the unemployment issues, and the people left behind in this Country, and he too had told a story of how cuts had left his family and friends huddled together with next to nothing.
Their Government had made promises to them that never appeared, and they were left with a realization that no help was ever going to reach them.
We see in the news today the riots in their streets, and the attacks against their police, and we hear people like Glenn Beck and Neil Cavuto try to explain to us that without the cuts to these extreme Government handouts, their Country will be bankrupt.
I read on his site that there was a lot of warning, and so much time to prepare, but the people, including himself always thought it could never happen to a country like his.

Today on the Unemployed Friends forum, I read this...

Below are the results from my calls to finance committee members - as you can see, this is a political very hot potato - nobody wants to commit. Please call and ask for their support - especially your Republican representatives.

Senate Finance Committee Members by Party Affiliation

* John Cornyn, Texas--202-224-2934-mailbox full- staffer didn't know

Let me just say, they don't care.
They really don't. I hate to be the one to lay it out here, but with them losing ground in the primaries, and the tea party people, and the Republicans rolling out this contract thing about all this great stuff they are gonna do, no one cares about the family of people that will come home tonight, and sit around the table while the kids work on homework, and Dad figures how he is gonna get the light bill paid, and Mom is on the phone trying to get a couple days extension on the cable bill.
No one cares they have a half a tank a gas to get around till Friday, but the Republican robocaller will call and ask for a $25.00 donation
No one cares that the boss told Dad that this pipe job will be shutting down because of permits in another week, so he may be laid off for a few months.


You know what Obama, sometimes a lot of us wish you would put the damn thing in D and then hold it in the floor, just make sure you have some of them Washington folks with you

Has Congress Lost Touch With Reality ?

Colbert comes to Washington to do what ? Make fun of them ? To put on a show ? What did he accomplish ?

Waste about $125,000 dollars of our money.

Lets see him do a spot about that on his show, about how much wasted time that little stunt took, and the money that cost us.

Big freakin deal, that was just a feather in his ratings hat, and a diversion for the left, oh yeah, dont forget, somewhere in another less attractive place they were discussing the black panthers that were scooted away that hadbeen in front of a pooling place in uniform with a nightstick.

And lets not forget also the folks living in cars, boxes, and under bridges, you know the ones that WERE working just a few months ago, like 99 weeks or more ago, thats what they call themselves, the 99ers, the ones that have exhausted all the unemployment bennie available and are now left with no place left to live, no place to go, nothing.

I know there are the few " cheaters " that maybe took advantage of the system, but let me tell you, no man is going to sit back and let his family go hungry and homeless if he can help it, he would shovel shit from a ditch for a can of beans first, thats why I do not think these people are cheaters.

Debbie Stabenow dangled the carrot in front of them before they went on their vacation claiming they would get some help when she got back. Many of the Dems signed on to back her up and it that S 3706 was going to save them all.

I go back to the message boards that are mostly operated by Dems, and I am shocked at what they have been posting, completely bashing their party, and very doubtfull that their vote for Obama was wortwhile.

Today, I checked back in and read that Stabenow had announced that she was going to debate the S 3706 bill in the coming week, and all of a sudden you would have thought Heavens gates have opened.

Wait a minute, Stabemow said she would debate the bill, you know, shake the carrot.

Am I the only one that gets this ?

Let me try this another way, when people get desperate, when they are tired, hungry, dirty, and have no place to go, they are open to a lot of things that they normally would not open themselves up too. They become willing to walk into some false hope.

For 9/11, I asked that we help someone, to pass on that feeling you had after you saw those buildings fall, and the Pentagon burning, and the feld in Shanksville.

I took it with with my gorup of friends and raised some money for the homeless, help some people so they had a place to stay, made a few connections with them and got them some work on local farms, and had a big cook out with burgers and dogs and crabs, all donated, and the folks had a great time, but most of all, they had some respect, and had some dignity, and they felt like they were not forgotten.

One man I talked to had done construction all his life, framing houses, siding, roofing, like that. He had to sell his tools, his truck, everything to feed his kids, then lost his home. He was renting a trailer for $425 a month that had no AC, and was ashamed that everything was gone.

Is he cheating the system ? Do you think he is not looking for work ? I guess he chose this spot in life.

I had a skill saw, an a drill in my shed I took to him on Tuesday, and a box with some hammers and tape measures and chalklines and stuff. I have not used them in years. I also took him a number to a guy I know that wants some rabbit cages built, its not much, but we have to help each other.

What have you done to help someone ?

Coming To An End

I could not have said it better myself.

A ruinous tactic.

The out of touch people in D.C. are going against what the people say, and they refuse to listen.

The argument over Democrats and Republicans getting anything right is just wasted breath. Both sides are are unaware of what the majority request.

I did say majority, meaning more are against what Obama is pushing than those that are for it. The majority of the people are not being heard, and are being shoved aside like trash.

This is why I can agree with George Will, and think that we will soon see the decline of this administration.

The actions of our President and our elected representatives will leave a scar on the left that will never heal, and those that follow the herd and allow these tactics to succeed will also branded, and sent home by the majority.

This is what the leaders in D.C. think about the majority, and this is a perfect example of why big government is bad.

They choose not to hear us now, then listen to what we have to say in November

Backing The Saints

I heard on talk radio today that Obama is backing the Saints in the Superbowl.

With his wonderful record of getting behind the last few people in some hot contest's. I think I know who I am betting on now.

All kidding aside, we have one day left until the first state of the union address.

Where will Obama go ?

Will he stay far to the left, or start to move closer to the center now ?

It may be his only hope.

Anger From Both Sides

So who would you vote for if the election was today ?

Think it's time to clean house ?

Out of 1000 likely voters polled, only 36 percent would stay on the side of the Democrats.

The 22 percent that are undecided are the ones that tell the bigger story here because we need to know if the Republicans can get back on track, and why the Democrats want to destroy our country.

It is no secret that there are some worthless Republicans in D.C., and they should be looking for some retirement property as we speak, but the Dem's have no idea.

They honestly believe they are serving the people.

Guess it's time for a rude awakening

Watch the second half of Glenn's interview with Pat Caddell

I am glad a Democrat said that.

He said Democrat, Republican, it has nothing to do with it, AMERICANS feel that their country is slipping away.

He also had a message for the people in Washington, in both parties. He said the American people are coming, and they are coming for you.

He also said that the elected officials considered us nothing more than sheep that they could just run over.

I do not know about you people, but there are no sheep in my house.

I think I will add that guy to my Christmas card list

OOOOOOOOO Scary Scary !!!!!

The public option is on its way, and it is another way for the Government to force it's way into our lives.

I have heard Olympia Snowe has agreed to vote with the Democrats.

She said " When history calls, history calls "

This is an historical moment for Snowe, as it will be the beginning of the last days for her in office.

The people have made their opinions clear, people on both sides of center.

When this " reform " has to be forced on us, something is wrong,

And when Democratic members that oppose the plan are told they will be shamed, and striped of chairmanships,

It is time to put on the brakes and find out exactly what is going on

Moore Is Comin To Getcha !

Look out Dem's !
Mikey Moore is talkin some mean stuff about you !



What a fantastic quote
Moore said " Find your spine, read the poll's, see us coming, we will come after you ! "
Moore thinks that Democrats can do whatever they want, and he claims that if they do not get the single payer system passed, he will hit the primaries, and get them out of office.
The same person that created a movie that makes capitalism a bad thing, is now using his influence to sway the vote on health care.
Am I the only person that thinks he is an idiot ?
I must confess that his movie that put guns and gun owners in a bad light turned me off to anything he has to say, but this idiot is at the top of the list when it comes to exploiting people for personal gain.
His latest movie shows us that
I have to say, if he wants to weed out some bad democrats, by all means he has my support.
Maybe he should just bring his checkbook to the White house and hand it to Obama and let him spread the wealth.

Lot 2 Learn

If you have been keeping up with the post's and comments between a fellow blogger and myself, you would know that no grey area exists between the views of the left and right
In a few comments, I have been once again called racist, and in so many words, just plain stupid.
Am I the only one that has a lot to learn ?
Could I be completely wrong in thinking that this Obama government is making some very bad decisions ?
Where is the transparency that we were promised, and why are we only hearing one side of all the issues that face us ?



An "open forum " that was to have unsolicited questions, right ?
I really want to know all sides of the debate, not just what our government wants us to hear
And the health care infomercial, what the heck was that ?




I may have a lot to learn, but I do know that there is more than one side to any debate, especially to one that would give the government the ability to deny treatment to some people because of the cost. The idea of pick and choose for treatment sounds extremely biased, and Obama said out of his own mouth that maybe a pill would be better than surgery.
You can't take that out of context




This is shocking to me, with all I read about " disgruntled Republicans " out there doing everything they can to block all the good that the Democrats are trying to do for us.
Many would call it grandstanding, but how many of these people that voted for this even read it ?
And was it not to be posted on the web for the American people to read for 5 days ?
What happened to that ?
This one project that Obama wants for us would mean more taxes and more job loss



Wait a minute, what did Obama tell everyone on the campaign trail ?????




It seems that Obama lied about the taxes



It seems that we are not being told all there is about his health care plan
The security of our nation is important to me, and I believe that we should stay on the defensive at all times.
Protests in Iran, and threats from North Korea are troubling to all of us



Could it be that Obama does not really know what to do ?
Is his lack of experience starting to show ?
Remember this from last year ?



One comment was made that I really did not have anything to say, and that I was misinformed.
Let me tell you what I know

Our government has gotten to big, and it is completely out of control

Selling out to China and other countries is a mistake

I do not believe in global warming theories

I believe Americans should be armed, and have the ability to protect themselves from any threat

I believe that God does exist

I believe that it is time to drill for oil and gas in our own country

I believe I will be called names, and branded many things for saying these things, but will never be afraid to do so

Dial " DEM " For Hot Chat ?

Democrats dialing for their democratic office got more than what they were looking for. It seems that a misprint in the Sussex New Jersey white pages led callers to a phone sex chat line



Well, I guess that's one way to collect some campaign dollars. The number has been corrected, and if you call 411, you can get through to the Dem's office. The printed number will be corrected in the next printing of the phone book. The owner of the sex chat line would not comment on the story, and is seen here on her way to work.

Bring on The Debates

If we can ever get past all the problems with the experience, and the age, and what religion everyone is, we need to get down to business. Many people have made their decision as to who they are voting for based on party affiliation, but there are a lot of us who will decide based on different issues that will affect us.
Until the debates get started, there is really nothing else that can be said about the candidates. At this point in the game, almost all the dirt is laid out on the table for all to see, and the media is going through it with a fine tooth comb.
But people really don't care about McCains age, or Palins pregnant daughter. No one cares about Obama's background, or Biden's lobbyist son. The people at the conventions, and the one's wearing the buttons, and the ones with the signs and bumper stickers all over their vehicle are already sold on who they are voting for.
The people who will decide the election are the quiet ones. The ones who read and listen to both sides of the issues. Even I am leaning towards a certain candidate, but I am open to all ideas. When the time comes to cast my vote, I hope I am prepared enough to make the right choice.
It is time now to end the rumors, accusations, and mud-slinging, and become educated about what choices will benefit ourselves and our country. We need to understand what each candidate will do if they get the chance to run our great nation, and what long term effects it could have on us, good or bad
I will be the first to end the trash talk, and encourage others to do the same. We have 2 months until we make the decision that will affect us for the next four years, let's take the time to make the right one
