John Cornyn Is A RINO

If you listen to talk radio, I know you've heard the commercials. How could you avoid them?

 "John Cornyn, he's conservative, like you."

Conservative like who? I'm conservative and so is just about everyone I know. We believe in smaller, limited government, lower taxes, fewer regulations, individual liberty, self reliance, personal responsibility, and the U.S. Constitution. Senator Cornyn would have you believe that he's a proponent of all those things too. But, what he says and how he governs are two very different things. During his 12 years in the senate, the national debt has increased by ten trillion dollars, and you can't blame it all on Barack Obama and the Democrats. During the first four years of his first term, George W. Bush was president and the Republicans controlled both houses of congress. The Bush administration and the Republican controlled congress oversaw the biggest increase in federal spending in U.S. history, to that point. Senator Cornyn has repeatedly voted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling; not only with Bush, but with Obama as well. He has repeatedly voted for increased spending on food stamps, farm subsidies, medicare expansion, and extensions of unemployment benefits. He worked with the Democrats and GOP leadership to end Senator Ted Cruz's filibuster to defund Obamacare. In December of 2012 he voted for a tax increase for top income earners (job creators), increases to capital gains and dividend taxes, extension of the marriage penalty, and extension of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which, basically pays low income couples and individuals for having children. He supported those tax increases without any demand for spending cuts. He has repeatedly voted against limiting farm subsidies, repealing sugar subsidies, and pay as you go legislation that would prevent congress from passing any law that increases the federal debt. Is there anything even remotely fiscally conservative here?

What about individual liberty? Senator Cornyn has consistently voted for re-authorization of the patriot act. On several occasions, he has voted against bills that would prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, without being charged or brought to trial. Let me make this clear; John Cornyn is in favor of policies that allow government bureaucrats to imprison U.S. citizens, indefinitely, without charging them with a crime or allowing them their day in court. He has voted in support of programs that have allowed the government to view, collect, and store the emails, phone conversations, and financial records of American citizens without warrant or probable cause. Really? Is this the United States of America or the Soviet Union?

Senator Cornyn has joined Barack Obama in endorsing an immigration reform bill that would grant amnesty to current and future illegal aliens without doing anything to secure the borders. This is, essentially, an open borders policy. I was born and raised in Texas, and these are NOT conservative Texas values. Texans are conservative like Ted Cruz, and senate candidate Dwayne Stovall. John Cornyn is conservative like John McCain, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and Barack Obama. Putting an "R" beside your name and talking tough at election time doesn't make you a conservative; it just makes you a RINO. We can't let Karl Rove, the GOP establishment, and their billionaire donors keep choosing our candidates. Texas should decide who will represent us in Washington.

The Porn Industry is More Competent Than Obama

I never thought Obamacare was about providing health care. I think it's intended to fail, leading us to socialized medicine and socialism in general. But, if I'm wrong and they really thought this was going to work; then the Obama administration is the stupidest, most incompetent bunch of assholes on the face of the earth. As a matter of fact, they still are, even if I'm right. For this thing to be the failure that I think they want it to be; people actually need access to it. These dumb bastards spent 3 years and almost a billion dollars, building a website that's unusable. It isn't hard to navigate or too slow, and it doesn't have a few glitches; people, literally, can't log on to the damn thing. Even by government standards, which are the lowest on the planet, this thing is still a colossal failure! Forget about comparing it to Ebay and Amazon; for crying out loud, the PORN industry operates thousands of sites, get billions of hits daily, and people have absolutely no problem accessing their products. Let me clear something up too; this isn't just typical government bureaucracy. This unprecedented level of stupidity, is the direct result of the election of Barack Obama; the stupidest president in U.S. history, and second place isn't even close. I never bought that crap about this guy being a genius, but I had no idea he was such a gigantic dumbass! Jimmy Carter makes this guy look like Einstein! This is his signature legislation, so let me sum it up again. Anyone with a kindergarten education and an internet connection can be watching midget porn in less than a minute. But college graduates can't logon to healthcare.gov. The most expensive website in history...and midget porn kicks it's ass! Is there anything else that needs to be said?

We Need A Second Party, Not A Third

The Democrats are the problem! Right? If the Republicans can just take back the senate, and win the White House, next election, we'll turn this thing around! Anybody really believe that? I used to. We need to drop the illusion of a two party system, battling it out over ideology; we haven't had that in years. Conservatives need a new party; not a third party, a second one! Because, right now, we only have one. It has two names, and two faces; but they're on the same side, and it's not the side of the people that elected them. Let's call them Republocrats! As conservatives, we like to ridicule Democrat voters, as imbeciles, blindly following their party, without a clue what's really going on. But which voters are really stupid, them or us? Democrat politicians have a simple message for their voters: "Vote for us, and we'll attack the rich, and give you their stuff. Free housing, food, spending money, health care, college, cell phones; you name it. And it won't cost you a damn thing!" After being elected, Democrats do a pretty damn good job of delivering. Maybe those voters aren't so stupid after all; just kidding, of course they are. But, what about us? Republicans tell us they're gonna cut taxes, cut spending, shrink the government, and curb regulations; they tell us, they're the conservative party. When's the last time they were actually anything close to that, thirty years ago maybe? But we just keep voting for them! They can't stop the Democrats, they WON'T stop the Democrats; because they are the Democrats! As tough as that is for me to admit, and as much as a lot of you hate to hear it, we need to own up to it and do something about it before we wake up in the Soviet Union. We put George W. Bush in the White House for two terms, with a Republican congress for six years. What the hell do we have to show for it?

Did they cut spending? Hell No! They increased it by 38%!

Did they reduce the national debt? Hell No! They added $5 trillion to it!

Did they reform entitlements? Hell No! They passed an unfunded expansion of Medicare, that will cost taxpayers at least $1 trillion over the next decade, and they doubled food stamp spending and added eleven million people to the program!

Did they shrink government? Hell No! They added the DHS and the TSA!

Did they curb government regulations? Hell No! They passed laws, telling us what kind of light bulbs and toilets to put in our homes!

Did they reduce federal intervention in schools? Hell No! They passed "No Child Left Behind"!

Did they reform our ludicrous 75,000 page tax code? Hell No! They gave us minimal tax cuts, and didn't even make them permanent! 

Did they protect individual liberty, and defend the constitution? Hell No! They passed "The Patriot Act", then abused it!

Did they give us a conservative court? Hell No! They gave us Chief Justice John Roberts, who ruled that it was constitutional for the federal government to force us to buy health insurance!

They did all this, while they controlled every damn branch of the federal government! Obama didn't need any new ideas on big government, Bush and the Republicans conducted an 8 year seminar! Please don't tell me "Yeah, but Obama did it more, he's worse." Yes, and AIDS is worse than Herpes, but I'd rather not have either one! In 2010, the Tea Party carried the GOP to win back a majority in the House. What the hell do we have to show for it? The IRS is acting like the KGB, attacking political opposition and freedom of speech. Has the house majority even threatened to cut their funding, or at least cut funding for the 16,000 new agents they're hiring to enforce Obamacare? They control the purse strings right? Yeah, about as well as Lindsay Lohan controls her substance abuse! Have the put up any resistance to raising the debt ceiling? Yeah, about like Rosie O'Donnell, resisting another piece of pie! They don't fight against any of this crap, because they believe in it, they want a big, strong, powerful federal government. They want as many people as possible to be totally dependent on government, because, then, you can control them. Hey morons! Yeah, Democrat voters, you need to pull your heads out of your substantial asses too! That means you have to quit lying on them for a minute. Remember when you were all pissed about Bush, meddling in foreign countries, and starting wars, getting soldiers killed? I thought you were the party of the ACLU and civil rights. I thought Bush was a Nazi and a murderer. What the hell, all you self righteous, hypocritical bastards have a change of heart? Your president doesn't torture terror suspects, he just kills them! You losers are just as pathetic as us, but at least you do get your free stuff. All we get is the bill! But talking to liberals is a waste of time. They can't change, they'd lose their houses, their health care, their phones, and starve to death. The minds we have to change are on the right. We can let Karl Rove and the Republocrats keep fooling us by cross dressing as conservatives, or we can build a new, second party; cause we only have one right now!

Being A Dad

I guess we all wish we had a father like Bill Cosby, Ward Cleaver, or Howard Cunningham; after we become dads ourselves, we want to be one of those dads. It'd be great to have just the right mix of compassion and discipline, and always have the perfect words or anecdote for every situation. But, we live in Realville, and most of us just aren't like that. You notice I didn't mention any current TV dads; that's because all of them are idiots; except Tom Selleck's Frank Reagan, on Bluebloods, he's genius and his name is Reagan. Anyway, when I was 15, I got my first job, working for anyone other than my dad. A guy that was renting a piece of property from my parents, owned a full service gas station, and offered me a summer job. I loved it! I worked about 50 hours a week, and brought home about a hundred bucks. I know that will barely pay for a stop at Buccee's these days, but in 1977, it was a pretty good chunk of change for 15 year old. One Friday, my mom picked me up from work and I mentioned that my pay check had been docked about 15 dollars. The register had come up short, and the owner had written a note, saying the shortage had been split between the 5 or 6 of of us that worked there. Later that night, my dad came and asked me about it: "Did you take the money?" he asked, "No", "Then why were you charged for it?", "Uh, damned if I know." Dad told me "That's bullshit!, a business owner can't just spread his losses out between his employees." He told me to go tell the guy, that I wanted my money or I was quitting. This was easy since the guy lived in our back yard. He also said, "If you don't want to tell him, I'll do it for you. The only people that are going to stand up for you, are you and me." So, I went and told the guy, and he gave me my money, then I got another job. Right there, in that one incident, I learned two very important things; the phrase I would use more than any other in life, "That's Bullshit!", and I learned to stand up for what's right, for yourself, and definitely for your kids. My dad was tough, and a lot of times he wasn't fair. That taught me life's tough, and it ain't fair, you just have to suck it up and deal with it, because whining about it doesn't do any good. When he warned me about things I shouldn't do, I thought he was full of crap, and it really sucked, EVERY, SINGLE TIME, when he turned out to be right. But, he let me make my own mistakes and see the consequences. Then, if I needed him to, he helped me fix it. Hardheadedness runs in my family, we usually have to learn things the hard way; the key is, we learn. My dad was a contractor, he left work before daylight and got home after dark, 7 days a week a lot of times. Regardless of how good or bad the economy was, he went to work, every day. Me and my two younger brothers go to work, every day. Some of the best leading, is by example. This past spring, my dad survived radiation and chemotherapy for lung cancer, and my oldest son and daughter-in-law, had my first grandson. Being a parent is tough. There's about a million ways you can screw up, and you almost have to get lucky, to get it right. It also helps to marry someone who's smarter than you, like I did. None of us are perfect, but, I think the biggest part of being a good parent, is putting in the effort. It's a lot of work; it's also, by far, the most rewarding and important thing I've ever done. As today's parents, it's our job to save the planet from the future generation, who are being raised by morons; and it's a big job because there are a bunch of them. So, all of you spend some time, today or tomorrow, with your dad and your kids. It'll mean more than anything you could buy them. Don't you love how I just told you all how to spend your weekend? Writing a blog is like being a parent and that's why I like it. I can tell other people what they should do. They probably never do it, but I enjoy telling them, just the same. Happy Father's Day to my dad, my son Triston, my two brothers, and all my buddies that are fighting the battle like me! Have a great weekend!

By the Way, I used the biggest font possible for this post. So all you old geezers, like me, trying to read this on your phone, won't have to get your readers out!

What Would the Founding Fathers Do?

 

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."

Patrick Henry 

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."   

Thomas Jefferson

 "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves."  

William Pitt

 "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity." 

Thomas Jefferson

 "Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin

 "Generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."

Barack Obama

There are a lot of people who think the U.S. Constitution is an obsolete document; that since it was written over 200 years ago, it's not really feasible to apply it to today's issues. I think that, if the last few weeks show us anything, it's that The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the beliefs of the Founding Fathers, are more relevant than ever. As Patrick Henry stated in the quote above, the purpose of the constitution, is to restrain or limit the power of government; to shield the people from overreaching, tyrannical government. The quote by President Obama, proves that he understands this; he just thinks it's a bad thing. There's so much more that government could do, but, The Constitution forbids it. So, he ignores The Constitution; out of "necessity". We "need" to provide health care for everyone, so it's acceptable to force the people into buying it, for themselves and those who can't afford it. We need to make sure everyone has a home, food, cell phones, high speed Internet, and a college education, so it's OK to force one half of the people to provide these things to the other half. We need to be sure Muslims and nonbelievers aren't offended, so it's OK to restrain the religious freedoms of Christians. We need to provide free birth control to anyone who wants it, so it's OK to force the Catholic Church to pay for it, which violates their beliefs. We need to catch terrorists and other criminals, so we must allow TSA agents to search the genitals of airline passengers, we must allow the government free access to the private phone records and emails of citizens without requiring them to show constitutional probable cause, and we must wave constitutional protection for any citizen that president decides is an enemy combatant. We "need" the government to protect us from everything, including ourselves; and, as William Pitt said of necessity, "It is the argument of tyrants" and "the creed of slaves".We have traded so much of our liberty, in exchange for what we were told was safety and, as Ben Franklin said, we now, "deserve neither"; and that's exactly what we've received. The key word in the last couple of statements is "we"; we the people have allowed this to happen; in many cases, "we've" willingly surrendered our freedom or asked government to take it. No, I don't like Barack Obama, I think he's arrogant, destructive, un-American, and a tyrant. But, to blame all this on Obama and the Democrats is ignorant and cowardly. I think our two party political system is the root of all evil, and is destroying our nation. For decades, both parties have been equally willing to violate the constitution and infringe on the freedom of the people, so long as it furthered their agenda. "We" the people have looked the other way, or encouraged them, if they were members of our party. The federal government has absolutely no constitutional authority to intervene in the affairs of private business, with the exception of regulating foreign trade and interstate commerce. But, Richard Nixon and the Republicans created OSHA and unleashed it on the private sector over 40 years ago. "We" tolerated it because we "need" to keep workers safe. The tenth amendment to the constitution says:

 "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

I'm not a constitutional scholar, but it's not a long document, and I can read. No where, does it delegate authority for worker's safety to the federal government. Michele Obama is widely criticized for telling us what to eat, particularly, what to feed our kids. But, George W. Bush and the Republican congress gave us "No Child Left Behind", which legally defined what we can feed our kids when they're at school. "We" "need" healthy kids. But again, there's not a word in the constitution that gives the federal government any authority to oversee the diets of our kids or to intervene in education. As for the daily revelations of the government seizing phone records, emails, Internet browsing histories, and spying on us with camera drones, Senator Harry Reid said yesterday, that everyone just needs to calm down, because this stuff has been going on for years; and he's right. Well, I don't think we need to calm down, but, it has been going on for years; and Obama didn't start it. After the attack on 9/11, Americans were, rightly, scared. President Bush seized on this fear and passed "The Patriot Act". We were told that it would force law enforcement agencies to share information, which would help prevent future terrorist attacks; all of which sounds sensible. However, it also did a lot of other things. The Patriot Act, authorized government to obtain warrants for "roving wire taps", which means the warrant can apply to multiple of infinite phone lines. That's how they show justify seizing the phone records of hundreds of millions of people. How do you show probable cause for seizing that number or records? The act also allows government to obtain a warrant and conduct surveillance on people without being required to tell them; as was the case with Fox reporter James Rosen. The Patriot Act also expanded the number of judges that can issue these warrants; allowing the justice department to go shopping for judges, as they did in the Rosen case, until they find one that agrees; in the Rosen case, it took 3 judges before one bit.

The point of that boring history lesson is that; "we", all of us, elected the government that has committed these violations of our constitutional rights. And, regardless of any Supreme Court decision, they are, clearly, violations of the constitution. 

Amendment I
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Is the IRS, EPA, and OSHA intimidation and harassment of Tea Party groups, not a violation of their rights to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government? Is forcing the Catholic Church to provide birth control to it's employees, not a prohibition of the free exercise of their religion?

Amendment II
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Are laws that make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to buy guns, or that restrict the type and capacity of guns, not an infringement or the right to keep and bear arms?

Amendment IV
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Is the seizure of the personal data and records of millions of people, not unreasonable? Has a sworn oath of probable cause for seizing my phone records, emails, and Internet activity been given?

Amendment X
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Has the federal government not infringed on thousands of rights, which were reserved to the states or the people?

Maybe The Constitution needs some changes. We have a process for that, and it's been done before. But, if the government is not bound or restrained by The Constitution, the the only thing left to govern us is despotism. The founding fathers foresaw this possibility, and Thomas Jefferson wrote in The Declaration of Independence:

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

There's no doubt in my mind what the founders would do, and political party or affiliation would never enter the conversation. The question is: What are we gonna do?  Whatever the answer is, we better get started.

Government Porkers

In light of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's large Coke ban being thrown out by the courts last week, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at just how successful previous government policies have been in rescuing our fat asses from an early death. The answer is that, like everything our government attempts, they suck at weight loss! Are you surprised? Me neither. If we look at just the last decade, the results are laughable; and this is according to the government themselves. I don't trust this data for a second, but according to the CDC, from 2000-2008, childhood obesity rates increased for every single age group. This, despite the fact that federal and state officials, such as Republican President George W. Bush and Texas Governor Rick Perry signed laws mandating what parents can and can't feed their kids. That's right, they told us what to feed our kids and our kids got fatter! On the positive side, I guess this gave an economic boost to the makers of plus size children's clothing. The beauty of this is, even though they have the power to manipulate the data or just flat out lie; their own research shows these policies to be a complete failure. So, if you're the newly elected president or the mayor of the biggest city in the country, how do you reverse the failed policies of your predecessors? Obviously, you just implement bigger, stronger versions of the exact same policies. It's ironic that, while our elected leaders continually find newer, better ways to suck at everything they do; they never even attempt the one thing they could be great at. We should easily be the biggest producers of pork in the history of the universe.

Happy Thanksgiving Dumbass!

Last week, Texas Governor Rick Perry did a press conference at at the offices of Thigpen Energy in Cut N Shoot, Texas. Thigpen Energy is a perfect example of the vision, philosophy, spirit, and individual character that made the United States the greatest economic power in world history. It's about one guy or, in some cases, a group of guys or ladies, risking everything they have on an idea or a dream. Small business owners like this devote their entire lives to it, they work day and night; weekends and holidays. They answer their phones 24/7. They do it for a variety of reasons. Some are simply adventurous, others seek independence; most of them want a chance to control their own destiny and, you're damn right, they want to make money. I'm not sure when the idea of making a lot of money became crime in America; but it's bullshit and it's time we addressed it head on. After Perry's press conference at Thigpen, an assclown named Emily Deprang, who writes fairy tales for a communist rag called the Texas Observer, did a hit piece on Perry, and she took some shots at Thigpen Energy as well. I'm not a big Rick Perry guy, but I'm a huge fan of Sam Thigpen, Thigpen Energy, and the millions of other small business owners who continue to create jobs and power the economic engine of this country; despite the best efforts of our federal government to destroy them. This Deprang moron and the ignorant jackasses she works for are representative of the culture that our federal government has intentionally created. It was bad enough when they all just sat on their worthless asses, and we had to support them. But, since the election of Barack Obama in '08, and especially since his recent re-election; these do nothing parasites have become increasingly more vocal in complaining about the level to which working Americans take care of their sorry asses. Anyone who supports traditional, conservative values, self reliance, personal responsibility, and hard work is crucified and labeled racist, greedy, uncaring, mean spirited, or homophobic. Successful people and corporations are treated as if they went in and stole the food from a table in an orphanage. The reason these attacks have gotten worse and more frequent, is that those of us on the receiving end haven't fought back; we just keep taking it. We don't want to be called any of those names and we don't want to seem insensitive or un-compassionate. It's time to address it in the only terms these scum bags are capable of understanding. So listen up lefties, bums, welfare queens, community activists, race baiters, and anyone else that's trying to gnaw off the hands that have been feeding them; I'm not doing this just because I'm unafraid of the name calling. I'm doing it because it's fun; I'm gonna really enjoy it! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and you worthless, ungrateful assholes have a lot to be thankful for. Since I know you have no idea who you should thank, start with God! If you don't know who I'm talking about; Google it! FYI, he doesn't live in the White House. Even though I'm sure that the God I worship would like to slap the living shit out of every one of you, he is forgiving. Anyway, it's probably me I was thinking of that wants to slap the shit out of you. When you finish thanking God, start thanking me and the millions of hard working conservatives just like me, that have been taking care of a lot of you stupid bastards for your entire lives. You should be eternally thankful because you did NOTHING to earn it, you're not entitled to it, and you definitely don't deserve it! YOU'RE WELCOME ASSWIPES! Basically, you idiots can be divided in to three groups; 

• Some of you are crackheads. You may not actually smoke crack, your drug might be pot, booze, coke, prescription painkillers, sex, or gambling. The point is, you have no self discipline; you're weak! You can't hold a job or support yourself because you want something else more. But make no mistake, you're not a victim and you're not sick. This is your fault and no one else's. Sick people go to the doctor and get help; you live this way because you choose to and because the government allows you to. 
• A bunch of you are bums. Maybe all of you you don't live under bridges, but the bottom line is; you'd rather sit on your asses than work. You don't deserve free housing, health care, food, phones, or any of the other free shit you get; and we sure as hell don't owe it to you. You get it because politicians have manipulated your dumb asses into voting for them. It's like the way you reward a dog, by giving him a treat for rolling over or fetching a stick. "Punch the button in the voting booth. Good boy! Now come get your bacon strip!"
• This third group actually encompasses the first two as well. YOU'RE STUPID! You can't figure out anything for yourselves. You can be easily manipulated into anything. You have descended to a level of ignorance that would prevent most of you from surviving without your caretakers (conservatives). You've chosen a life of servitude in exchange for minimal rations of food and money. The key word here is "chosen"; You picked this life. YOU'RE STUPID!

Wow! I sure feel better! Not only do you have a lot to be thankful for, I'm extremely thankful that I got a chance to explain it to you. Try to enjoy these approaching holidays because the next four years are gonna suck; bad! Not for us conservatives, we know how to take care of ourselves. The government will take more of our money, but we'll be OK. But, it's gonna get really bad for those of you who voted for a daddy instead of a president. I would feel sorry for you; if you hadn't begged for it. As it is; I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS! Happy Thanksgiving!

What If There Were Two Americas?

I think a lot of us would agree that, as a country, the United States of America is as divided as it's been since the sixties; maybe more so. I've been reading about all these petitions to secede, and it got me thinking. A while back, I read a book called "Are We Rome?", which compared the current state of the U.S. to the fall of the Roman Empire. The author talked about a scenario, in which the country would split and become two separate Americas. I'm wondering what that would be like. I have to think the divide would be along liberal versus conservative lines; perhaps "The Constitutional Republic of America" and "The Progressive Socialist Democracy of America". How about "The Elephants" and "The Jackasses"? Ok, no need for name calling. To simplify things, let's just call it "Red America" and "Blue America". By the way, this is based on philosophy, not politics. A lot of you big government Republicans are gonna need to go to Blue America, because you're really just jackasses in pachyderm clothing. So how would things divide up? Let's take a look.

• Income-Obviously, this is probably the biggest dividing line currently; and that's by the design of the Democratic Party. Americans are classified as the "haves" and the "have nots"; though it would be more accurate to call them "the works" and "the work nots", or as Thomas Sowell once said "the do's" and the "do nots". We have to assume that the vast majority of top income earners would go to Red America (R.A.), initially, because of the lower taxes and regulation on business and the economy. The few rich people, like maybe Warren Buffett, who stayed in Blue America (B.A.) would find a way to shelter and invest their money in R.A., until the B.A. government took them up on their offers to pay even higher taxes; then they would bail out to R.A. when they crossed, oh, let's say the 95% tax bracket. What about middle class income earners? I would think that, at least, 70% in the private sector, would go to R.A., in the beginning and another 15% within the first two years, because that's where the vast majority of businesses and jobs would be. Most government workers would stay in B.A. because government jobs would pay a hell of a lot more than in R.A., and there would be a lot more of them in B.A. The income earners at the bottom would, most likely, be torn, because many of them would be receiving some type of B.A. govt. assistance, that wouldn't be available in R.A. Eventually, those that truly wanted to work, would go to R.A., for the promise of opportunity, rather than the promise of minimal subsistence. Almost everyone receiving income for not working would stay in B.A. until the government ran out of money; at which point, they would go to R.A. and find jobs, or starve to death.
• Race-While the country is racially divided, I really don't think race would play much of an issue in this decision. While most minorities and a large number of whites would have their hearts in B.A., this decision would be guided by survival instinct. You need jobs and money to survive and provide for your family; and the jobs would be in R.A. Whether you believe it, or like it; green trumps all other colors in economics. Provide value as an employee, or as a business owner, and financial motives will triumph over any racial prejudices that may exist.
• Immigration-There would be no illegal immigration in B.A., and it would, initially, be overrun with new citizens seeking government freebies. Then, like the Americans who stayed for the free stuff, they'd leave when the B.A. government went broke; if they were allowed to leave. Illegal immigration wouldn't be much of a problem in R.A. The economy would be prosperous and there would be more jobs than Red American citizens could do. Smart, hard working people from other countries, looking for an opportunity to make a better life, would be welcomed; and would become valuable members of society. No one would be sneaking into R.A. to take advantage of the free health care and other government benefits, because we wouldn't have those things.
• Social Philosophy-Citizens of R.A. would be expected to accept responsibility for their own lives and for their actions. It would be a country of great opportunity, but, on occasion, people would experience rough times. When that happened, their fellow citizens would give them a helping hand; whether privately, through churches and other non-profits, or collectively, through the government. But, it would be on our terms, and those being helped would be expected to help themselves, if they were able. People in need of help are not in a position to dictate the terms of that help, and receiving help is not an entitlement; it's an act of kindness and generosity on the part of those providing it. In B.A., everyone would be entitled to the best health care and education, to a good paying job and a nice home; all free of charge. There would also be laws mandating free cell phones, WiFi, satellite TV,  Ipads, laptops, new cars, and all the other basic necessities of life. The problem would be that, everyone capable of working and paying taxes to provide these things, would be living and working next door in Red America.

It could happen some day, and it might be a good thing for citizens of both countries. Right now, we're all living the lie in Blue America; and we're approaching the time to pay the bill. We don't have the money; no one does.

Merry Christmas Mitt!

"As President, you're entitled to your own house and your own airplane, but not your own facts."

Mitt Romney

We spent the last two weeks, hearing from everyone that had an opinion, how Mitt Romney was having a terrible week, or month. Romney said 47% of Americans don't pay taxes and think they're victims. He's down by 10 points in the swing states. This election is over! Poor Mitt, he just wasn't smart enough or charismatic enough to compete with his excellency. The left was doing a great job of convincing themselves and their flock. Then, truth and reality stepped up and smacked the living shit out of them!

Let's take a look at the month Obama just had. Just as excitement over "You didn't Build That" started to fade, we see a video of Barry, preaching socialism and re-distribution, that would have made Karl Marx proud. He had kicked of the month with a big celebration at his party's convention; where, in a proud moment, the Democrat delegates gave roaring round of boos to: Romney? No. Bush? No. Drum roll please; would you believe...God? That's right; on the floor of their national convention, on national TV; THE DEMOCRATS BOOED GOD! A week later, on the anniversary of 9/11, muslim terrorists attacked U.S. embassies all around the world and, at the U.S. consulate in Libya, kidnapped, tortured, and murdered U.S. Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens and 3 members of his staff. Immediately after the attacks, the Obama administration stated that this was not terrorism, but a spontaneous uprising of Libyan citizens in response to a Youtube video, that insulted Islam. Additionally, Obama, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and several other members of the administration publicly, repeatedly apologized to the muslims for the insult. They even paid for TV adds in Pakistan to apologize. As evidence began to emerge, from numerous sources, that the attack was pre-planned by groups with ties to al qaeda, the administration continued to blame and apologize for the video. This week, as it became clear that they knew within 24 hours that it was a planned attack, they were forced to call it terrorism. Unfortunately, several sources have discovered that Ambassador Stevens had made multiple requests for additional security, which were denied by the White House. The protection of Stevens and his staff was left to Libyan security guards; muslim rent-a cops! To make matters worse, if that's possible, the Obama administration has covered the whole thing up, and, in an interview with "60 Minutes" Obama called it a "bump in the road".

On Tuesday this week, "The Daily Caller" released a previously unseen, unedited video of an '07 campaign speech that Obama gave to an audience of mostly black people. In a race baiting, class warfare speech that would make Al Sharpton proud, Obama said that George Bush, Republicans, and the federal government didn't treat New Orleans as well after Katrina, as they had disaster victims in other states, because "they don't care as much about New Orleans" and it's mostly poor black population. He said we need more programs to help poor blacks because they don't know you're not supposed to feed your baby potato chips for breakfast, and they need to be taught how to dress and act appropriately in an office. If what he said wasn't bad enough, he gave the entire speech with a lame southern drawl, that sounded like he was auditioning for a remake of "Gone With the Wind".

Then came the debate. Holy crap! This is why you don't put a community organizer, who's never held a private sector job, in charge of a $15 trillion economy. Romney abused him so bad, it wouldn't surprise me if Eric Holder charged him with a crime. This was the most total domination of a presidential debate, since Ronald Reagan schooled Jimmy Carter. Considering the way the media has hyped Obama, his humiliation was even worse than Carter's. Romney used hard economic facts to battle Obama's utopian fantasies, and looked him right in the eye and smiled while he did it. As you would expect, Obama's leftist supporters went into a complete meltdown and started ripping him on Twitter and MSNBC. Barack Obama's entire career has been one big illusion of smoke and mirrors, and it's coming unraveled at just the right moment. We still have a month to go, but I think Santa may have landed his sleigh on the Romney house a few months early; 
OR MAYBE GOD DOESN'T LIKE BEING BOOED!

"As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD" Joshua 24:15

"All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

Ronald Reagan

The picture above was taken by the owner of "Skyline Burrito Bowls" in Lufkin, Texas. It's just a group of Lufkin firefighters saying a prayer before their meal. One of them is my oldest son Triston. If, like me, you sometimes wonder what ever happened to old fashioned American values; they're alive and well in East Texas. In the first 13 hours that the picture was posted on Facebook, it had over 11,000 likes and 200 shares. Last week, I was touched by the public response to the cheerleader of Kountze High School, which is also in East Texas. These girls are standing up to athiests and courts, who want to ban them from creating banners with bible verses written on them, for their football players to run through before games. In just a couple of weeks, their Facebook group has over 43,000 members. It's not just a Texas thing either; the support for these young people is coming from all over the country. We really are a "Silent Majority"! I guess every generation, as it ages, complains about how the new generation "just doesn't get it". We need to stop that, this generation get's it. Sure, the ones we notice most often are the ones with multiple body piercings or the idiots of the occupy movement. But, walking the walk below the radar, are firefighters, cheerleaders, and people like Lila Rose, who founded the pro-life organization Live Action, when she was 15, or the teenage Chic-Fil-A drive through worker, who smiled and politely offered a jackass customer water, as he spewed hate at her for the views of her company CEO. This young generation of Americans didn't elect leaders that put us $16 trillion in debt, we did that. They didn't allow their government to take religion out of public schools. This generation is not the problem, but they may be the solution. As for our generation; Ronald Reagan once said "All great change in America begins at the dinner table.", evidently, we've been doing something right around our dinner tables.

America's New Slogan Should Be: Pucker Up!

Is it just me or, are a whole lot of Americans getting tired of the daily barrage of crap we have to put up with? A small minority of jackasses in this country are trying to bully us into abandoning our beliefs, our God given rights, and our way of life. I'm sensing, that I'm not the only one who's fed up with it. We need to remember who we are, draw a line in the sand, and refuse to put up with it. We need to tell them all to kiss our asses! If our religion, our patriotism, or our politics offends you, you're free to look the other way. Or, you're free to kneel down, and pucker up! 

• You don't like prayer at high school football games, Pucker Up!
• You don't like the Pledge of Allegiance, pick a cheek!
• You think voter ID is racist, kiss our ass and don't vote!
• You want to make me buy insurance, Kiss My Ass!
• You want to tell me what to eat, Kiss Both Sides of My Ass!
• You want to get paid to sit at home, here's the Chapstick!
• You think hard working business owners owe you something, Kiss All Our Asses!

A lot of things offend me, and there's not a damn thing I can do about them. I don't like to see people wearing their pants in a way that exposes their underwear and half their ass. I don't want to look at idiots, who've covered their entire bodies with tattoos or piercings.The term "transgender" irritates the crap out of me because, there is no such thing. It infuriates me that so many people are stupid, and don't even care. I'm highly offended that the President of the United States has laid down like a $5 crack whore for Muslim terrorists. It offends me that Homeland Security hassles businesses about hiring illegal aliens instead of guarding our border. Most of all, it infuriates, offends, and insults me that, the people who've done the most to screw up this country, have the nerve to tell the rest of us how we should live our lives. That's how I feel, AND I"M RIGHT!

Some of you may be offended by this:

PUCKER UP!

The Democrat's Strategy Reeks of Desperation

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

                                       Winston Churchill 


Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are right wing extremists! Really Democrats? Is that seriously what you're going with? Now, I'm willing to admit, there is one way you can make this Republican ticket look like Barry Goldwater/Pat Buchanan; just let them run against Barack (you didn't build that) Obama! This is an obvious sign of just how desperate the Democrats must be. They know Obama is headed for an ass whipping in November and they've come unhinged. Rush Limbaugh is right wing, Sarah Palin is right wing; hell, I'm really right wing. Mitt Romney passed state run health care, with an individual mandate. Not even nutty ass Howard Dean thinks that's right wing extremism. Paul Ryan proposed a budget, which was passed by the house, that reduces the amount of spending increases. Obama proposed two budgets, that not ONE member of the senate voted for. Yes, goofy ass Harry Reid and the Democrat lead senate unanimously rejected their candidate's budget; two years in a row. But Ryan is the extremist? Paul Ryan voted for "No Child Left Behind", TARP", and the auto bailouts. That doesn't exactly make him the second coming of Ron Paul. This would be laugh out loud hilarious, if these ignorant bastards weren't running our country. Are the writers of Saturday Night Live running the Democrat's campaign? It honestly looks like a satire skit! The prominent speakers at this week's Republican convention include former Democratic Congressman Artur Davis (who spoke at the '08 Democrat convention and was an Obama campaign co-chair), John McCain (who's about as conservative as Lyndon Baynes Johnson), Jeb (my brother added $4 trillion to the debt) Bush, and keynote speaker Chris Christie, who seems to be in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants and believes in global warming. Jim Demint, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Jan Brewer, Ron Paul? Nope! What about the speakers at next weeks Democrat convention? Well, lets start with middle age  college student Sandra Fluke, who told us earlier this year that she and her girlfriends were spending so much money on birth control that they were going broke, so they needed the taxpayers to buy it for them. Then there's actress Eva Longoria, who is Hispanic, smokin' hot, and...well...that's about it. I seriously doubt that Eva has anything significant to say, but that's OK because no one will be listening. I'll bet Bill Clinton is bringing a double ration of Viagra though. Next, there's Massachusetts senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren, who falsely claimed to be a Cherokee in order to get a college grant, and who was, apparently, the original author of Obama's "you didn't build that" speech. So, we have a speaker whose claim to fame is being a self proclaimed prolific slut, a speaker who's famous for playing a prolific slut on TV, and a serial liar/Marxist. Do the Democrats really think this is going to lure women voters? But Romney and Ryan are the extremists. The Democrats have accused Romney of killing a woman and Joe Biden told an arena full of black people that Republicans wanted to "put y'all back in chains". What, they couldn't find a way to tie them to the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State scandal? They ran a commercial showing Ryan pushing an old lady off a cliff in a wheelchair, because, they say, he wants to take Medicare away. In reality, Ryan's plan wouldn't touch Medicare for anyone over 55, while Obamacare will rob $700 billion from it starting next year. Obama has sued states for enforcing federal immigration laws and for trying to prevent voter fraud. Obama bypassed congress and gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Obama used executive privilege to protect his his attorney general, who was held in contempt of congress for refusing to cooperate in an investigation of weapons sales to Mexican drug cartels by the federal government. Make no mistake, there is a lot of extremism to consider in this presidential election. But, it sure as hell doesn't involve Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan. The Democrat's rhetoric doesn't offend me as a Republican or a conservative. I'm proud to be called extremist by these ass clowns. The people who should be offended are the Democrat and Independent voters, because the DNC thinks y'all are stupid enough to believe this crap; and a lot of you probably are.

You're Killin' Me!

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Eggs are more dangerous than smoking. Popcorn causes Alzheimer's. Hepatitis C kills more baby boomers than anyone else. Distracted driving is on the rise. And, in case you haven't heard; THERE'S AN OBESITY EPIDEMIC!!!! How did any of us make it past the second grade? Medical researchers, politicians, industries with profit motives, and most of all, the media; are trying to scare the shit out of us. From a lot of your actions and reactions, it appears they've been pretty damn successful. I'm a baby boomer; which, as far as I can tell, makes me a member of the most screwed generation in history. We get blamed for everything, we have to pay for everything, and we're the unhealthiest generation in world history. Of course, that's only if you believe everything that you hear, read, or see on TV; and I don't. Amazingly, this attitude has gotten me labeled as somewhat of an eccentric, conspiracy theorist, skeptical crank; even by some of my best friends and family members (my wife). Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care! Today's world is much safer than it has been at any time in history, and getting safer by the day. You may wander how I can say that despite the constant barrage of health, safety, and security warnings. Do I just think I'm smarter than everyone else in the world? No, just the vast majority of you. The thing is, you really don't have to be that smart to see through all the bullshit. You just have to stop assuming that a bunch of people you've never met are really concerned about you and looking out for your best interests. But, you may be wandering, why would medical researchers, doctors, lie about matters of health? They may not be lying in every case. I'm sure a lot of them truly believe what they say, and in many cases, there is probably some truth in their claims. Obviously, being fat is not as healthy as being the ideal weight, smoking is bad for your health, you can get diseases from mosquitoes, and ingesting too much of some chemicals can kill you. However, medical research is paid for with grant money. There are private grants, but the overwhelming majority of grant money is public, a.k.a. taxpayer money; which the government is very generous with because it doesn't belong to them. Let's say, you apply for and are awarded a big pile of cash to study whether or not people living in Madison, Wisconsin are more overweight and unhealthier than people from other regions of the country. You use the money, complete your study, and report that the people of Madison are just as healthy, maybe more so, and their weights are perfectly in line with the averages in the rest of the country. How much money do you think you're getting next year? Good news isn't alarming, it doesn't trigger government grants. Doctors and researchers write books too. Go check out the health section at Barnes and Noble and see how many selections celebrate the fact that only half as many people die from heart disease as did thirty years ago. Nobody's buying that! Tragedy sells, dread sells, suffering sells; nobody cares about good news unless it pertains to them. When a car salesman tells you all the bad things about the cheaper models, and raves about the virtues of the more expensive car, most people see through that; the guy's just trying to make a buck. We don't trust people as much when they stand to profit from what they're telling us...unless they're doctors, scientists, or reporters. Evidently, these groups aren't driven by selfish interests like the rest of us. Most people, myself included, would agree that being extremely overweight can cause serious health problems; heart disease and diabetes in particular. According to the Center for Disease Control, in 1980, 412 out of every 100,000 people died each year from heart disease, in 2000, it was 257 people, and in 2010, it was 178. In 1995, 23 out of 100,000 died from diabetes, in 2010, it was 20. The same CDC tells us we have an obesity epidemic, that it's harming the economy, education, national security, and the overall health care system; and almost no one questions it. If obesity is so much worse than it has been throughout history; why are there so many fewer deaths from the diseases that it causes? I have some startling news for a lot of you; you're all going to die. I don't know when, but I'm pretty sure it's going to happen at some point, no matter how many Cokes, cheeseburgers, and deserts you don't eat. You people need to stop worrying about dying and start living a little; and stop torturing your kids by denying them things that I know damn well you enjoyed as a kid, and probably still do when no one's looking. Popcorn causes Alzheimer's? My ass it does! Besides, if I get it, I won't know. Eggs are more dangerous than smoking? Are they more dangerous than smoking crack? Because I have to assume that's what those researchers were doing. I just read where the CDC is getting ready to recommend that all baby boomers get tested yearly for hepatitis C, because our age group dies from it more than any other age group. How often is that? Well about .0003% of baby boomers die from Hep. C every year; less than one, one thousandth of one percent. How much would that test add to national health care costs, to find out if we have a disease that, if rounding numbers, affects 0% of Americans. Distracted driving is the latest plague to threaten humanity; according to the experts at least. Several states have passed laws restricting or banning the use of phones and other electronic devices while driving. Many other states are considering similar laws, and everyone I talk to thinks this is a good idea. Teen drivers, of course, are in the most danger from distracted driving. I would assume that a lot more teens are dying behind the wheel today, than 20 or 30 years ago, when cell phones were pretty much non-existent. I'd be wrong. In 1980 42 out of every 100,000 teens ages 15-19 died from car crashes; in 2010, it was 15 of 100,000. In 2000, I'd never heard of anyone texting and 16 of every 100,000 Americans died in car crashes. in 2010 almost everyone I know was texting and 11 out of 100,000 died in car crashes. I think texting while driving is a bad idea and cell phones can be a distraction. But, they're not making driving more dangerous; if they were, a lot more people would be dying. I can't explain it, but the numbers don't lie. Why are we encouraging government to pass more laws to solve problems that we're solving just fine on our own? Because making something illegal always eliminates the problem, right? It all boils down to whether you would rather think for yourself or trust everything in your life to other people, who may or may not be smarter than you, or may or may not give a rat's ass about you? Call me a nut if you want, but I trust myself to look at all the information and decide what's best. If I'm wrong, at least I know who to blame. I wonder if people in third world countries, who hear about all the epidemics and plagues that threaten America, think to themselves "What a bunch of spoiled, whiny, paranoid, chickenshit little twits." ? I think that all the time!

Let Obama Tell You Why You Should Vote For Romney

 "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."

Winston Churchill 

 
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have the best speech writer a politician could hope for; his name is Barack Obama. If you just listen to his words, and look at how those words have translated into actions, they'll tell you all the reasons you should vote for Romney/Ryan. Sure, they have to continue to hammer him on policy and consequences. But, they need to paint a clear picture of the ideology behind all those bad policies. They need to show voters the drastic contrast between conservative Republicans' view of America and Obama's radical leftist view. I'm seeing some positive signs that they plan to do just that. It's true that Romney's not as conservative as some of us would like, but he's a right wing extremist compared to Obama; and both he and Ryan have a fundamental understanding and belief of what built the American economy. In a recent essay, Romney wrote  "economic freedom is the only force that has consistently succeeded in lifting people out of poverty ... the only principle that has ever created sustained prosperity." Ryan said last weekend that "Our rights come from nature and God, not from government."  Obama and the left believe nothing could be further from the truth. They're OK with freedom of speech, unless the CEO of a private company says he supports traditional marriage. Freedom of religion is fine with Obama, unless churches don't want to buy birth control for their employees. Obama believes these rights DO come from government, therefore he can place limits on them. That, as Joe Biden would say, "is a huge f_ _ _ing deal". Romney, Ryan, the GOP, and all of us need to continue to throw it in their faces. This election isn't about which party we believe has a better platform; it's about who we believe we are as a people. 

• Mitt Romney knows, first hand, that, with the incentive of making a lot of money; private citizens will continue to reinvest in the economy, creating jobs and prosperity. Barack Obama believes that "at some point, you've made enough money". 
• Romney believes private citizens have a right to risk their own money in investments as they see fit. Obama believes the president has the right to take money from private citizens and "bet" it on the pet projects of his campaign donors. As he told ABC's George Stephanopoulas, about the $600 million lost on Solyndra; “It went through the regular review process, and people felt that it was a good bet.”
• Mitt Romney knows that America became the greatest economic power in world history because economic freedom allowed entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and reap the rewards of their hard work and sacrifice. Obama believes that government created an economic system that business owners took advantage of. To use his own words: "If you have a business, you didn't build that, someone else made that happen."
• Romney and Ryan believe that the money people earn is their own, and that we all have an obligation to pay our share of taxes, to cover the country's bills. Obama believes that all money earned belongs to government and that they decide how much the workers can keep. He tells us "We cant afford to spend money on tax cuts for rich people" The only way a tax cut can be called spending is, if the money belongs to government to begin with.He says Romney "ONLY" paid $3 million in taxes, in 2010; even though that's more than the average American pays in a lifetime.
• Conservatives believe you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, regardless of the obstacles in your way, but that not everyone will have what it takes to succeed; there will be winners and losers. Obama, like Karl Marx, believes that "It's good when you spread the wealth around."
• Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan believe that hard working individuals, private businesses, and private investors can revive the economy, if government gets out of the way. Almost 4 years ago Obama told us "the federal government is the only entity left with the resources to jolt our economy back to life."

We know Obama's policies and actions have had disastrous results and that has to be pointed out. But, his ideology and his fundamental beliefs make any other outcome impossible. He knew where his ideology would lead us. Romney and Ryan need to make sure the rest of the country knows too. Just let Obama tell them.

At Least Lie Like An American

"Lying has a kind of respect and reverence with it. We pay a person the compliment of acknowledging his superiority whenever we lie to him." ~ Samuel Butler 

Let's forget, just for a minute, about the damage that's been done to the economy, the jobs market, health care, the banking system, the energy industry, national security, and just about everything else in America under Barack Obama. I think we can all agree that he's been a complete disaster. I can just accept that and do my best to vote him out in November. What I can't accept is the irreparable damage he's done the the great American art of lying. To be fair, it's not just him, but everyone in his administration and the Democratic Party. Let's face it, everybody lies; nobody more than politicians and government. It's just a fact of life. We lie for our own benefit and the benefit of others. Nothing positive can come from the statement "Yes dear, that dress makes you look fat."; so we lie. However, one of the common courtesies we need in a civil society is to all have enough respect for our fellow man to tell a planned, well thought out, carefully constructed, at least semi-believable lie. Obama and the Democrats are making a mockery of this and it's pissing me off! When you take the time to put together and tell me an organized, feasible lie, it shows some respect for my intelligence; you're acknowledging that I'm not dumb enough to believe just any load of crap. But, when you just randomly pull a big wad of horse shit out of your ass, you're telling me you think I'm an idiot; you're crossing the line. For Example: I come into work on Monday morning and tell the guys "Hey, I was out of town over the weekend and I slept with this smokin' hot cocktail waitress." I do a good job of selling it, provide a few details, but not too many. I give her first name only, can't remember the name of the bar, blah, blah, blah. Depending on my skills, this is a decent lie. On the other hand, I say "You guys won't believe this, but I flew to Malibu and Sports Illustrated was there doing a photo shoot. So, I run into Kate Upton in the cabana bar, take her back to my room, and we spend the whole weekend together." See, that sucks as a lie, it defies credibility and it can easily be disproved. Plus, I've just insulted my buddies by implying that they're morons. That's what Obama and the Democrats are doing to us and I'm getting tired of it. The latest one is a beauty. If you want to say "Mitt Romney killed more jobs as CEO of Bain Capital than Obama has killed as president.", that's a lie. But, by making up some bogus statistics and twisting the facts, you could sell it and get some ignorant people to buy it. But, when you say "Mitt Romney killed a guy's wife.", even you're friends start to be embarrassed for you. It's like one of those tabloid headlines "Elvis Fathers Alien Baby"; you're gonna get some attention, but it's because people are pointing out what a dumbass you are. Through the years, the Democrats have done a good job of enlisting major media, like CNN, to help promote their lies. But, this latest one even has Anderson Cooper and Wolfe Blitzer going "Seriously, you really want our help shoveling that load of shit." Cooper was almost pleading "C'mon guys, I'm in you're corner, but you gotta work with me." To make matters worse, when the media called them on it, Obama's people looked like deer in the headlights. One of his top flunkies, Stephanie Cutter, told reporters she didn't know anything about this guy, who says Romney killed his wife. Then, about 17 seconds later, they play a recording of a conference call she hosted with him in May, and they're calling each other by their first names. This shows a clear lack of preparation in the planning of this lie. She should have been ready for questions and had answers that couldn't be blasted out of the water so quickly; it's just incompetence. What about Harry Reid? It's one thing to say "Mitt Romney pays very little in taxes." or "Mitt Romney doesn't pay enough in taxes." Those are both lies, but they're vague and open to interpretation. You say "Mitt Romney hasn't paid any taxes in 10 years"., and people think you're drunk or senile. Nobody's gonna believe that shit Harry! Then, you throw in "I have a source, but I can't tell you who it is." Oh OK, I thought for a minute you were just full of shit, but now I believe you. I think what's happened here, is the Democrats got greedy. Most of their constituents are stupid, so they can get a lot of crap by them. But, there's "I don't watch the news or read books stupid", and there's "I can't feed myself or go to the bathroom alone stupid". The Democrats thought they were dealing solely with the latter, when, in fact, some of their voting base is still in the first group.I know politics is a nasty business, but if we're going to survive as a society, there are some institutions we have to preserve. Let's put good lying on that list!
