This is my boy! My sweet, irritating, basket handing (never mind) little Ross. Only he's not so little anymore. I went to a meeting for him today at his school and walked out feeling a little lost - almost the same feeling I had last year when I told Dr. C. and his CSC group to kiss my ass while I walked out their door for the last time. I had no idea where I was going to take my son for school for the fall 2011 year and after fighting and kicking and screaming was able to get him into his current school. I knew it was on a year-to-year basis because he doesn't live in the area where the school is but I was still under the impression that as long as he does well in the TAP program, he should be able to stay. Well, not so fast. It seems that he may not be able to stay after all. Four kids are leaving to go on to high school and there will be new kids coming in which means Ross's spot might be taken by a "feeder" kid; a kid that attends an elementary school that automatically feeds into the middle school that Ross attends now.
We have worked so hard to get into this school and he's done so well and has made some friends (and enemies, lol) and actually loves going to school there. He still has quite a bit of trouble and we have concluded that Ross needs a smaller classroom with fewer kids to get the most he can from his school work. I told them at the beginning of the year Ross was not ready for 6th grade curriculum work as he was working on only a 3rd grade level but they were able to modify his work and make it easier for him to get through. I hate to say this but I actually long for the days when he was at CSC and I knew that he was doing well there. He's just not ready for big classes or lots of kids around him.
Now I have to find a new school. It won't be in FWISD if we have to go somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind putting him in the one by my parents house but that school is a Spanish speaking school now. They teach SOME of the classes in English, but mostly in Spanish and all the kids talk to each other in Spanish. How is my son, who already has Expressive/Receptive Language Disorder, going to make friends or understand social cues or handle being mainstreamed in some classes if no one speaks any English? Can you imagine the confusion for him? And before any of you liberal friends of mine dare say I'm just being racist, think about all the points I just made. How can my son learn and socialize with people that he can't understand? The other school is in a really, really bad part of town and my son would be beaten up on a daily basis. So that's a no-go as well. Now I'm back to square one, beating my head against a wall.
Our school system is so fucked, it's not even funny. I can't help but think if the administrators and the superintendents didn't make so much ($340k per year for the superintendent??) and the unions didn't give all these lavish benefits at our expense and the federal government would step back and let the districts and parents decide what and how to teach our kids, there might actually be money available to fund more than 3 flippin' schools in the ISD with TAP units as the TEA insists we do anyway. It's the law that they have to provide services. My son cannot get services in a safe, English speaking school even though I pay taxes so that the ISD can provide those services to him if needed. And they are needed! I told my mom today on the phone that if parents were to take over the school budget and be in charge of pay, benefits, curriculum and programs, we could do a way better job that the Dept of Education ever could. But nope! We don't have the right to have a say as to how the schools are run or how our kids are educated. This is disgusting. My kid isn't the only one, either. How many kids are diagnosed every day with autism? How many are coming into all the ISDs? Why are there only THREE schools in Fort Worth, population 300,000 + people, with a TAP unit? 1 out of 130 kids are diagnosed with autism or other learning delay and we can only choose from 3 schools in the whole damn city?? Man, something is WRONG!
Now I may just have to put my son in Weatherford ISDs TAP program. There's no other choice for us if we lose our spot here. I'll have to make a 48 mi drive to and from every day just so he can get a modified education.
Jennifer Hall, the lady I have been helping campaign for this past month, has won her election and is now the permanant (until the next election) Tarrant County GOP Chairwoman. We are all excited that she was able to pull this off and it was a lot of fun being a part of the team that helped get her elected. I kind of feel like I didn't get to do enough for the campaign but I know that my hard work did help in some small way. I am actually amazed at the dedication and energy a lot of the group members had for this sort of thing and the time they were able to put in is really incredible. Kudos to each and every one of those that worked on this team and an special shout-out for Jennifer, herself, for basically being a volunteer for the republican party and the future of Texas and the United States. If only we had more people like her, politics wouldn't be so freakin' horrible! I just hope that the members of the TCGOP that have been there for several years will be able to see that she's doing a great job and get on board with her and not rescind their support simply because she refuses to support the status-quo. Congratulations, Jennifer! I hope you will change the world of Texas politics. :-)
Onto other news - this is complete and total bullshit, too - I am amazed at the amount of support Joe Barton, David Dewhurst, Kay Granger and countless other establishment politicians were allowed to keep their positions last night. I tried to find some pictures of these morons with devil horns and other fun edits but I couldn't. Yet! Anyway, I am continuously amazed at how stupid voters are and I am ashamed that I used to be as stupid as they are. Joe Barton and Kay Granger have both supported the NDAA, CISPA, TAARP, HR347 and the Patriot Act. These are all unconstitutional laws that should have never been passed and, in my opinion, they should be brought up on charges of treason and violating their Oath of Office in protecting and defending the Constitution. They are domestic enemies and maybe they should be subject to the NDAA bill on the grounds of terrorism. Yeah, I think I like that idea! Let's give them a taste of their own medicine and see how they like not having freedom of speech, the right to due process or the right to privacy. These fucking morons! Also, David Dewhurst, the RINO of the election, is a movin' on up so he can collect his $174k annual salary for life while he makes his deals and joins the likes of John Boehner, Lindsay Graham, Eric Cantor, Max Baucus and countless other congressional douche-canoes! I am disgusted at the lot of them and I hope a lightening bolt comes out of the sky and blasts all of their skulls. :-) That would make me happy.
The reason I am amazed at the voters that keep them in office is because during all of my blockwalking and all of the people I have talked to, most of them were pretty informed as to who was doing what in DC and who is responsible for the mess we're in. It was encouraging to know that so many people have woken up and started paying attention to what's happening in our country. Then after seeing last night's results, I was incredibly disappointed and my hopes had been dashed that there weren't enough people out there willing to make the necessary changes. Every so often, I would come across people that said they vote for the person first on the list or they vote for the name they think sounds the best or they just vote straight republican or democrat ticket no matter what. It's hard to bite your tongue when you need their vote for something. I think I already wrote about this sort of thing.
Moving on the Ron Paul: This picture says it all. This guy has NOT given up. No matter what the media says, no matter what the talking heads are telling us, no matter what the newspapers say, Ron Paul is not gone, he is not done and he has not lost. He is acquiring more delegates than the media will report and there are more delegates that will be at the state conventions voting for him than there are delegates willing to vote for Mittens a 2nd time. All of the delegates are now UNBOUND and can now vote for who they really want. So far, Ron Paul has won most, if not all, of the delegates in Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Oklahoma, Florida, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts and OMG I hate this stupid piece of shit computer!!! Every time I open another window to make sure I'm getting the facts right and list the correct states and correct quotes, it freezes up on me!! (#*$&%$(#$*!#%*(!!!! My point is that Ron Paul is winning more delegates than Romney is and no one is being honest about it except websites like the Daily Caller or The Blaze or Drudgereport or The American Dream. This is for FREDRICK the pain in my ass tonight on Facebook. HERE'S YOUR WEBSITE, DORK! http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/ron-paul-could-still-win-enough-delegates-to-deny-mitt-romney-the-republican-nomination
There, dork, now get off my ass. I've proven to you my point but you can't prove yours to me so get movin'!
Anyhoo, Ron Paul just keeps working to win those delegates that are really what counts in this race. Romney doesn't have them and the MSM knows it. I will continue to work my ass off for this man and hope that I can change minds before time to vote. I will also be going to the state convention all next week! I am an alternate delegate #5 and that means that there is a 99.9% chance that I will be bumped up to a full delegate and be able to cast my vote for rules and nominations and platforms. Most importantly, for president. This will be my first convention and I will be blogging about it as I go through the process. It will be interesting and I hope that more and more people get fed up like me and decide to become a part of things to truly make a difference and a positive change. My election for Precinct Chair doesn't happen until the last week of July so I have time to prepare for that as well. This is going to be a very interesting summer. If my man doesn't win, I will be heartbroken and I will have to cast my vote to get rid of Obama for Obama-Lite. Picking the lesser of two evils is never easy but hopefully we can put more constitituional conservatives in the senate and take the majority there, too. That way, if Odumbo is re-elected, at least the two chambers can sort of control what he does. And if he decides to continue to legislate with executive orders, which is illegal, maybe - just maybe - someone in the senate will finally have the balls and the numbers to begin proceedings to impeach. I swear to God, if Ron Paul pulls a Ronad Reagan, I will explode into a million pieces of happy and rain glitter down from the Heavens above!!
That's my rant for this evening. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week. I will be back in a couple of days. Much love to all and God Bless America!
Yeppers, people, it's that time again! We all need to get out there and vote for the truest conservative members of our communities (if you're a conservative) or whomever it is you think would be best for the jobs they are running for. I have placed my votes and will continue to promote the people that I think will hold themselves accountable and that have ONLY the best interests of our local, state and federal governments at heart. Those who truly care about what happens to us all; white, black, hispanic, asian - ALL AMERICANS!
For the past two weeks, I have been handing out push cards for the Tarrant Country GOP Chair, Jennifer Hall, going door-to-door in the blazing heat. I really don't mind it because I am an athletic person and I like going door-to-door just to meet all the interesting people. Here's my shout out to Jen Hall:
HAAAAYYYYYY!
This lady and her hubby are two really neat people. I love what she's done for the party and I hope she can continue to do some great things for the county office. She doesn't get paid for what she does, she volunteers her time, and it takes a LOT of time and she loves what she does. Kudos, Jen. You go girl!
As I have been participating in her campaign, I have also filed to run for precinct chair in my precinct. My 'hood, if you will. I will write more about that later because my election run-off doesn't even happen til July 31st so I will have plenty of time to bitch and complain about all the work I'll be doing.
Going door-to-door has been quite an eye opener. So far, I really like the people I have spoken with and I have made some good connections. People in my neighborhood association, people that don't get out much, elderly ladies that like to chat - one actually invited me in her home and before I left, insisted I come in and see what her daughter had done to her master bedroom, LOL. I love her! What a sweet woman. Some people have been less than friendly and that's ok. They all seem to be wary of who's standing on their doorstep. So would I.
One thing that really sticks out, though, is the fact that there are so many people that DON'T know what's going on and that DON'T follow what is happening to our state, country, etc.. They don't know that laws have been passed that take away their rights to free speech, due process and their privacy. When I tell them what's been happening, they can't believe it and tell me that they are going to look these things up. That's when I know I've reached someone and they just might get involved. Some want to only vote straight ticket and I try to tell them that's a no-no and beg them to please look up the people on the ticket and do their own research. Some give me their own perspective on what's going on. I can't decide if it's humorous or scary or just plain weird. Another thing, though, that makes me happy is the fact that there are a LOT of people that DO know what's going on and they DO want to get involved but just don't know how. That's where I come in! :-) I think I have recruited some newbies ( I hope) and they don't shy away when I mention that I love Ron Paul and that he is MY personal choice, not necessarily the choice of those I am walking for. But they don't care (YES!), they want to help and one lady in particular who came from Canada is begging to be able to share her experiences in socialized healthcare and how it hurt her family. I have also met some that are way out in space. I think the most heartbreaking things I see are people who haven't left their homes in years. People that are scared and alone and afraid to go outside so they hole themselves up and never come out. Those are the people I want to reach the most. But, they don't want to be bothered and that is their right and I will respect it......after trying a t least 3 times to engage them. :-D
So get out there and vote, everyone! Get involved! Get angry! Get even! But most important, let's get out country back!
DISCLAIMER: First I want to say before I begin, that this is not a gay bashing blog. I have had many gay friends over the course of my life and I have loved all of them with the exception of one particular woman who was so butch, I thought she would eventually murder me and a couple of other people I know. No joke. Thank God I haven't seen that chick since 1991! I also remember, because of our ages, how hard it was for my gay friends to come out of the closet to their friends and especially their families. Some of them were welcomed with acceptance and open arms and some were abandoned by those they loved, even the parents that raised them. The girl that was mean really had good reason to be. I heard the things her drunk mother would say to her on the phone and the horrible, HORRIBLE, messages she would leave on her answering machine. No wonder T was so angry - her own parents were calling her terrible names like whore, slut, dyke and the C U Next Tuesday word. My other good, good friend, J, also had a difficult relationship with his mom after coming out to his parents and she never did really accept it until he passed away. The guilt is hard for her to overcome for the lost time between her and her son. Those were hard times for them but I always let my gay friends know that no matter what, I was still there for them. I still loved them and cared about them and that one day, it would hardly be an issue. Not one of them really cared about being able to marry their loves when they got older, they were more worried about losing their loved ones than anything else. What really threw me was that some of the parents were so unforgiving, that they made it well known the love for their child was totally conditional - something I cannot even fathom. So, with that being said, I love, love, love my gay friends, I use the F word with the utmost respect when I talk to them (because I have gay friends and that's just what we do when we're together, lol) and I wish them all the happiness in their lives because they deserve it just as much as anyone else. But there is something that they should know about Obama's "evolution". Some of the gays see right through him while some of them see nothing but rainbows over the man's head that are taking the place of his messiah halo. Haha.
The only reason Obama has come out as a supporter for gay marriage is two reasons: 1) Idiot Joe Biden threw him under the bus and 2) it's election year and he needs your votes and will do and say whatever he has to do to get them. Hell, the minute he came out with his new stance, he went to George Clooney's fundraiser and they raised 9 million dollars in 90 minutes for his presidential campaign. No one is taking him to task over that, of course. When Obama campaigned in 2008, he campaigned a lot his support of gay rights. He also campaigned on the rights of the hispanics and illegals and if you will remember, once he took office, he completely "forgot" about those groups of voters. He had no intention of doing anything for either group. Why do you think he's waited this long to say anything?? He has said in the past, he does not believe in or support gay marriage. He's been all over the board with this subject and is usually punting the issue down the road hoping the gay voters will forget about it. I understand the need for gay people to be "equal" and to have the same rights as everyone else but here's what they don't seem to understand: gay marriage, or any kind of marriage, IS NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE! NOR IS IT A STATE ISSUE! This is an issue of individual liberty and the church. The government does not perform weddings, unless one takes place at a JP court. The government has no right to tell you or anyone else who can get married and who cannot. So why are you guys looking to your president when it comes to a non-issue like this? What do you think he's supposed to do about it? What can he do about it? NOTHING! 37 states have banned gay marriage and Obama cannot tell them to lift that ban. The Supreme Court will rule that under the 10th amendment, the state is the one that makes the deciding decision. Although, it's really not a state issue, either - or shouldn't be. If they want to be intolerant, they have that right as it may be against the religion of the majority of the people but it's not a big deal to travel to a state that allows gay marriage and just get married there. Again, this is an issue that should only be dealt with by the church. There are many gay churches that are willing to perform a gay marriage ceremony, just pick one! As far as my above comment about gay people just want the same rights as the rest of us, here's a thought: the constitution already affords you that equality. So does the Declaration of Independence:
I was looking for some good pictures of gays celebrating on google, but I quickly found out you should NEVER google just the word gay people, LOL! I had to put my hands over the screen because the kids were in the room with all the soft porn that showed up, hahaha! So I looked up gay people celebrating and I liked these pictures. I also liked this one below. It had a certain "We're MARRIED NOW, bitchez" so here it is:
CLASSIC! ;-)
Here's another thought I had.......gay people in this country think they have it bad? They really don't. I found a picture on the net of 2 Iraqi men that had been tortured and stoned to death because of their homosexuality but the pics are so bad, I'm not going to post them. Once you see pictures like that, you realize how good homosexuals really have it in this country. Yes, there are hate crimes, but most people are very tolerable because it's not that big an issue anymore. Being a conservative, I can honestly say that I don't know many conservative people that are horrified at the thought of gay people or gay marriage. That's just the point I'm trying to make - no one care's if you're gay or not. No matter what the democrats and the media say, we conservatives could really care less if you are gay or not. If you're a nice person and do nice things, that is ALL that matters. Yes, the old guard republicans don't want that,the baptists don't want that and there will always be people on all political and demographical (is that a word) sides that don't even want to recognize it. But conservatives like me and younger ones and, yes, even the 50 somethings are perfectly fine with gay people. Lots of gay men and women have a truer heart that your typical heterosexual asshole friends. Everyone, everywhere knows and has at least one gay friend and are perfectly fine with it. Why does the government have to make it a bigger issue than it really is?? They are bound and determined to cause division and hate and keep everyone arguing about things that don't mean shit right now. They've done with this the ridiculous "war on women" and the completely insane "repubs want to take away your birth control" fight, the racial bullshit and a few other issues that have had nothing to do with the state of this country and yet everyone wants to focus on this and report only on this issue - that isn't even an issue!!! They were simply ideas that have been blown out of proportion to get people talking about those things rather than the real and urgent issues that must be dealt with NOW!
Nevertheless, this has made many gay people around the country ecstatic and some of these people will actually base their support for Obama based on this ONE issue alone. ONE non-issue! So now that we have had all of our celebrating and all of the talking about Obama's "evolution" and all of the celebrities coming out of the woodwork to support his fake stance on gay marriage, can we please, PLEASE, get back to the real problems our country is having? You know, the problems that are about to bring the USA to her knees? The laws Obummer has passed that blatantly violate literally half of our constitutional rights? The rights that set us apart from any other country in the world? When you are done eating your cake and singing and dancing and being your wonderful, lovely, gay selves, then maybe we can get back to more important things such as:
The inevitable collapse of our monetary system
The Federal Reserve
17% unemployment
The economy
The debt
The deficit
The 5 trillion dollar budget Obama's trying to pass
China getting the OK from the feds to take over the first US bank - EVER
The 4 illegal wars we are in right now and losing innocent lives fighting for nothing
Repealing NDAA, CISPA, HR347, Patriot act and the TSA and much, much more!
In other words, the TYRANNY we are facing each and every day
Once you start talking about these things, democratic support falls sharply. Doesn't anyone understand that all of the things I mentioned above are gravely important and when that happens, gay marriage won't even be a thought in anyone's head - survival will. And when things turn bloody and violent, and they will, you better trade the rainbow flag and for a rainbow gun and get ready to protect the one thing that truly matters more than anything: yourself.
Save your country. Otherwise, prepare to suffer some serious, serious consequences. If our dollar completely collapses, how am I supposed to go out for happy hour with my gay friends??
P.S. Here is a video of Ron Paul addressing gay marriage. You will enjoy it!
One day, not long ago, I thought about the guys and gals in congress and about all the wonderful laws they were passing and all of the wonderful rights we were slowly being stripped of and I was trying to find a way to really hold these bastards accountable for their actions. There HAS to be a way to get these people out of office if they violate their oath of office in any way, shape or form. There HAS to be a way to hold the president and the other goons accountable other than the old "vote them out" routine that never seems to take care of the problem.
This was about the time Debra Medina was running for Governor of Texas, I'll get to that in a minute. I was doing some research on a few people, Harry Reid, Max Baucus, Joe Barton, John Cornyn, Nancy Pelosi, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Olympia Snowe and some others that were pissing me off at the time and I was researching different ways that a citizen could literally march down to the House or Senate and perform a citizen's arrest for violating the Cconstitution and their oath of office to protect and defend it. I did find an interesting bit of information that according the 10th amendment, the states and citizens ALL have the right to recall an elected official if the state makes a law to do so. This got me excited so I looked up which states have recall laws. So far, only the following states have that law in their State Constitution:
Alaska,Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Lousiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montan, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.
I nearly dropped dead when I saw that NEVADA and CALIFORNIA have recall laws and neither one of them have even had an attempt made by the citizens to recall Pelosi and Reid, not to mention that crazy bitch Barbara Boxer, but I specifically remember a veeeeeeeeery close race when Harry Reid was up for re-election. He won by the skin of his teeth but I don't understand why the citizens haven't started a petition to remove his senile ass! Do they even know they have this law? Surely they would try to do something if they did, right? And what about California? I realize Nancy comes from San Franciso, the capital of Crazy, but from what I've been seeing coming from Californians, they should be trying to do the same thing and recall her. Have you seen the crowds Ron Paul is attracting in Communist California? It's quite astounding. Anyway, at that point I got to looking at Texas recall laws and guess what? I can't find a recall provision in the Texas Constitution anywhere. The closest thing I found was in section 14:
Sec. 14. PRIVILEGED FROM ARREST. Senators and Representatives shall, except in cases of treason, felony, or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during the session of the Legislature, and in going to and returning from the same.
So basically this means that in the state of Texas, the citizens CAN have ANY member of the Texas Legislature removed or arrested for treason, committing a felony and/or breaching the peace. Well, GD, that's half of the bozos down there! So it says we can recall them but it doesn't say anything about NOT being able to recall a US House Rep or a US Senator from Texas. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
THAZ RIGHT BITCHEZ!!
I'm thinking we need to put a petition together, a resolution according to a new friend I've made at a campaign meeting, that resolves the right by a citizen to make a citizen's arrest or recall of a sitting House Representative and/or United States Senator and use the model of the Montana Recall Law which states that any person holding a public office of the state or any of its political subdivisions, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from office (I'm condensing the law here to make it easier on me and less boring for you) for physical or mental lack of fitness (there goes 90% of them), incompetence (and the other 10%), violation of the oath of office, official misconduct or conviction of a felony offense. HOT DAMN that sound GREAT to me! Montana is exercising their rights at this very moment to recall all the house and senate members that violated their oath of office by voting for NDAA and a few other things they blindly voted for without a thought to the people of this country! I met Debra Medina once during a campaign stop and asked her if she supported a recall law in case we ever encountered the likes of our very own Nancy or Harry and she said "NO". I nearly had a heart attack that she would say such a thing. Now I know that she had been hounded by the media for the last 3 weeks trying to get a "gotcha" moment on her so I am hoping she was thinking this was one of those moments and just got flustered about it. But she said that according the Texas constitution, yada yada yada, blahblahblah, it couldn't be done. I didn't understand a single thing she said because she was so caught off guard and she didn't make a lick of sense. I'm pretty sure she didn't quite understand it either as I was quickly brushed off. I love Debra Medina and I hope to see her run again next time but she's going to have to get on board with the whole accountability thing. This law would greatly strengthen the citizens of this great state and remind those we elect that we put you in office, we can damn sure yank you out of it and put your butt in jail if need be! I am sick and tired of these morons violating our rights and crapping on our constitution becuase they think they are in charge and that there's nothing we can do about it until the next election, hoping that our short memories will keep them from being voted out. Well, my memory isn't short and I'm gunning after the likes of Kay Granger, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Joe Barton, John Cornyn an David Dewhurst. And Rick Perry. These are the people - except for Rick Perry and David Dewhurst- that voted for TSA, TARP, NDAA and CISPA. Joe Barton did not vote for CISPA because he says "it violated the constitution and the rights of the individual". Really, Joe??? Where the ^&# were you when you voted for NDAA, you lying scumbag? See, mom? I'm keeping it clean just for you and let me just say that was hard to do! These people need to go and they need to go now. It is my duty as an American citizen to try and get legislation passed so that we can pull them out and throw them in jail for their treasonous acts.
And since we are on the subject of liars, let me introduce you to Mrs. Bachmann, the one who campaigned on Constitutional values:
Yep, folks, that's right! Michelle Bachmann. She just cast her vote to make CISPA into law. The same woman that campaigned on following our great constitution and holding those accountable for how they voted. The constitution means nothing to this woman and she's shown her ass to us all on this one. I am really disappointed in her but not as disappointed as I was in my most FAVORITE Senator of all time:
Yep! Two weeks ago, Marco Rubio was going to be my next husband. Then I found out he supported and voted for the NDAA bill. The guy that talks about freedom and his father and how wonderful this country and our constitution is, voted to essentially remove our 4th, 5th and 6th amendment rights in one fell swoop. I am watching to see if he caves and votes for CISPA. I am hoping that the reason he voted for it is because he doesn't know or understand our constitution or that the bill itself violated those rights. Then again, he endorsed Mitt Romney. Idiot! IDIOT! <whimper> I'm so saaaaaaaaaaad!! I LOVED this man. Isn't he a dreamboat? Unfortunately, he has either proven that he does not know what he's doing up there or that he has been bought by the establishment. Maybe not "bought" but certainly turned by the establishment republicans that we unaffectionately call RINOs. Sigh......sad. Very sad.
So here's what I'm going to set my sights upon today: I am going to try and contact Matt Kibbe from FreedomWorks and see if he can't help me make up some kind of internet petition to acquire enough signatures to put this recall law on the ballot and have it voted on. You can't ignore the people forever and we are damn tired of being ignored. If Matt Kibbe can't do it and you gentle readers out there know someone who can help with this, by all means, contact me and let me know. I'd really like to get this started.
You know, I can't believe I even have to read about this, let alone write about it. I'm talking about our men and women in uniform that are risking their lives for absolutely NO reason whatsoever in Afghanistan and Iraq (not to mention Libya and Syria). They are over there night and day, doing the bidding of our government under the guise of "protecting our freedom". They should be home. Bin Laden is dead - there is no reason to stay.
These brave men and women are overseas every single day, following orders and the only time we EVER hear about anything that's going on over there is when something our troops do that is "bad" or "reprehensible". Why is it we never hear about the good things our guys do - like save little kids from bombings or rescuing people out of collapsed buildings during a mortar fight? Why is it we never see the images of the Afghan men, women and children who enjoy having the Americans there to help protect them from whatever it is they need to be protected from? Our guys don't want to be over there fighting! They want to come home to their families. Bin Laden is dead, isn't that Mission Accomplished? Why are we still there?
Now there is a new story out about a bunch of Marines who took a few pictures of some dead guys that were in the process of trying to blow up the Americans and some Afghan police officers. The marines that took part in this are being villainized for really nothing. The first picture, the one below, shows a picture of two marines and a dead militant that was being ID'd. I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, this militant
was trying to kill our soldiers and other Afghan officers. He was killed in the process and taken to the makeshift morgue. Does anyone notice the American in the background? He's missing a hand. Doesn't it look like his hand is missing? Gee, I wonder......I'm assuming he lost it in combat or they wouldn't have let him join the military. Fighting one of these goobers, no doubt. The goober lost - IT'S WAR! This is NOTHING compared to what the militants do to our guys if one of them gets caught by their people. This is just the least of what would happen. So they put his dead hand on a guy's shoulder. BIG WHOOPEEDO! They were being shot at!! There there is this picture below:
Now....what is wrong with this picture? I see a couple of legs, some Afghan officers and some American soldiers. What does the caption say? It says this picture is an Army division posing WITH Afghan police in a picture with the mangled corpse of a SUICIDE BOMBER. Hello??!?! Does anyone get it, yet? For one thing, the Afghan cops are the ones holding up the idiot bomber's legs, not the soldiers. Secondly, this is what those darn middle easterners do - they take pics of their trophies. We've all seen them do it. Lastly, let's not forget that the guy that blew himself up was in the process of setting up a roadside bomb so they could kill OUR men and women who were to be driving down the road that day. Perhaps the same men in this picture. Just think, if the idiot bomber hadn't blown himself up, another bunch of our guys could have been coming home in a coffin draped with the American Flag - Hell yes, they ought to be posing with this garbage!
It's bad enough that our men and women have been thrown into wars without proper ammunition, proper protective gear and instructions not to shoot unless absolutely necessary. Our guys can barely use their weapons to protect themselves and when they finally have to, the media and our government act like it's all their fault and they never should have acted in the manner they did to save their own skin. Our government is actually giving out medals to those who show "courageous RESTRAINT". The enemy doesn't show any kind of courageous restraint against their enemies and certainly not against Americans. Our tanks aren't strong enough to withstand a roadside bomb half the time and the ones that are, won't be sent to the troops because it costs too much. Why send our troops if they aren't allowed to protect themselves??? If that were me, if I were a marine or in the Army or any branch of the military, and some dumbass blew himself to pieces, I would be the first one to take my picture with those mangled legs with a nice little caption that either said "karma - it's a bitch" or "yeah, how did that one work for ya?". After all, I was the target, right? It's either him or me, right? Well, I choose to protect me and partake in the victory dance if I'm the one left standing. I think what's disgraceful is the way our media and government will think nothing of sending our kids into illegal wars and then shit all over them when they finally have to participate and kill the enemy. What the hell are they supposed to do? Just sit there and get shot? Do you realize that when our people are caught by these Islamist Jihaddists, they cut their heads off while they're still alive? Do we do shit like that? No. Once in a while, one of our guys snaps and murders a group of people for no reason other than war will make your brain melt. The murder spree that ensues is never pretty and it's never excusable but you have to use your head and understand why that happens. Look at the middle east - they are ALL crazy because that is all they do is fight. They have always had war there and they always will. Our people didn't grow up like that so all of this is just too much to handle, it's too horrible. War is Hell. It really, really is.
So before you go blaming the soldiers for stupid pictures like these, stop and think for a minute about what they have to witness and endure every single day: No family, little protection, non-stop violence all around them, suicide bombers, roadside bombs, always having to look over your shoulder or be on your toes ready to take on the very worst at any moment. They literally live on the edge....and it's all for nothing. God bless these brave souls.
Ann Romney never worked a day in her life? Ann Romney never worked a day in her life?? Are you freaking kidding me?? I'm making this post in red because I am that mad! RED HOT MAD! Hilary Rosen, a top Obama White House advisor, actually went on television and tried to say that because Ann Romney never worked outside the home, she's never really worked a day in her life and has NO IDEA what it's like to be a part of the American economy just because she's wealthy! Hey, Hilary, do you not call being a stay at home mom real work?Let me tell you something, you warthog faced bafoon, being a stay at home is one of the toughest jobs a person can have - man or woman! Can you imagine raising 5 boys?? Oh my God, SHOOT ME! (not really, I love babies - I would have 5 if I could) I mean, boys are stinky and loud and dirty and nasty and they fart and they have greasy hair and this is AFTER their bath! They're foul, rambunctious, they fight, they hock up loogies and wipe boogers on their sisters ( I know this from experience with my own brothers)! Do you know how much they eat? They eat as if they've never had a meal! Feeding 5 growing boys is the same as feeding a small country, for crying out loud, which means you have to have the money to do that. Yes, she was lucky to have the resources she had but it's not like they went out and stole all their money, they - YES, THEY, HILARY - worked for what they had and I'm sure they had to sacrifice even if it wasn't the kind of sacrifice the poorest people have had to do. But to say she's never worked a day in her life? Can I just get a meeting with you so I can personally kick your ass?? Raising kids is tough work no matter who you are or how priveleged you are. She raised those kids on her own every day, while her husband went to work to earn a living - shame on her, right? She didn't have a nanny. She didn't have assistants, she raised them with her husband, in their home! Hardest work there is!
Then I read another piece that has me raging mad: Obama says that when their daughters were born, they didn't have the luxury of Michelle not working. Can you fucking believe that?? Let me just say that when they had their kids Michelle had been out of school for 10 years. You know what the starting salary for a Harvard Law graduate is? About $115k per year. Excuse me, Barack? Are you saying y'all couldn't afford to have Michelle stay at home with the $115k she had been making for the previous 10 years? That there was no money that had been saved up? You, yourself, were pulling down quite the paycheck as a Harvard Law graduate in the state legislature with your $70,000 a year salary PLUS your earnings as an attorney! According to your 2000 tax returns, you had a joint income of $212,000.00. If Michelle didn't work during that time, you would have had to raise your kids on approximately $106,000.00 that year. You are a damn liar and you make me sick! Do you really expect us to believe that she HAD to work becauseyou just couldn't afford for her not to? UGH! Here's a big, fat SCREW YOU - courtesy of me and Mr. Johnny Cash!
I just want you to know, Mr. Prez, that 15 years ago, when I was married, my husband made $36k a year and we had a house and 2 kids and I stayed home to take care of those kids. HALF of what you made, pal! Not only that, we had two cars. I just want to shake him by his throat and ask him how the hell the Mrs. didn't have the "luxury" of being a stay at home mom when he made approximately $100k a year? I mean, WTF were you spending your money on? It sure wasn't student loans because both of you had full scholarships! I know your record shows you have a spending problem but if your family can't manage on one salary of $100k or even $70k a year, you got problems in your head and obviously lived way beyond your means. Just as your spending OUR money way beyond OUR means. HOW FREAKING DARE YOU PEOPLE!!!
***UPDATE*** I seem to remember writing a piece on Michelle being involved in patient dumping in the 90's - a time when Michelle was on the Chicago hospital's board.....making over $300k a year, PART TIME! Man, I wish I had found that double bird flip that I wanted to post originally!
I currently make a decent salary and I am so blessed to be able to take care of my kids the way I have but I don't make $70k a year or $100k and I still manage to have a pretty good life and give my kids what they need. I don't need lobster dinners and I don't need to shop at Neiman's to feel good about myself. I don't have the luxury of being a stay at home mom anymore and honestly, I was ready to go back to work when my daughter started Kindergarten.
So the next time, HILARY ROSEN, you decide to open your mouth about something - think are little more carefully and choose your words a little more wisely.
