Someone has to have a dream, an idea or a goal. They then have to pursue it against all odds. They usually have to work most of their life away, skipping weekends and vacations. They will work themselves right into the ground and skimp and save everything they can. Most end up having to get loans from banks or investors. Most of these ventures fail and the courageous lose everything. Then…they try again. Finally, a small percentage break through and hire more people to help them attain their goal. This is when and how jobs are created. Sometimes, these ventures go public, meaning that they get investment from Wall Street investors, and then many more jobs are created. Yet, these protestors are vilifying the very people who want to create jobs.

There is government, and there are the people. I am saddened to see these people railing against the people, when it is the government who writes the laws and regulations according to one thing and one thing only… campaign contributions. If protestors would wise up and realize that government is not the solution but the problem, then the people would win.

For generations now, education has been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of kids, who in turn have grown up, become the new teachers and professors and continue the process.
For generations now, Hollywood, TV and Movies have been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of people, who in turn have grown up, become the new stars and they continue the process.

For generations now, the mass-media been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of readers and listeners, who in turn have grown up, become the new anchors and journalists and they continue the process.

For almost 60 years now the liberals have dominated our education, entertainment and media so that they have had complete and total control over the mush that goes into people’s heads. They have allowed no room for conservatives within their ranks. Coming out of the conservative closet has been career suicide.

This is the result. Please people, quit railing against those who want to create jobs and rail against the government who wants you dependent on government. Investors and successful people want to create even more wealth, which requires more investment and more employees. You have been dupped by the media, entertainment and especially your educators throughout your life. Look where it has gotten us. Let’s turn the tide the other way for once and protest against government and in support of the people, us, me and you.

We demand a fair distribution of the burden so that wage-earners and pensioners do not pay the price for a crisis they did not create.

All of the sudden a landslide of thoughts nearly collapsed my ability to reason.  How much ignorance and stupidity can one roll into one sentence?  The total ignorance of that single quote demonstrates that the person stating it can display their entire intellectual catalog on a bumper sticker.   This single statement also demonstrates the unfathomable ignorance, laziness and lack of personal responsibility that permeates Europe and the USA today.  Unless you live in totalitarian society, YOU are responsible for your own government – period!  He said:

We demand a fair distribution of the burden…

Are you kidding?  Do you really expect the freakin’ government to “distribute burden.”  I had no idea that this was the roll of government.   This is the same kind of idiotic rhetoric from morons who would state that the government should redistribute wealth.  The government shouldn’t distribute or re-distribute anything because Governments have NOTHING except what they take from the public.  Governments shouldn’t produce anything.  They shouldn’t have factories nor stores.  How could individuals compete with government for business?  Any time that an individual started to do well, the government can tax or sue him into oblivion and tax all citizens to subsidize a lower cost.  Eventually there would be no private business and we would all live under government control, with the government handing out only what they see fit.  That is called communism.   Unless you desire communism, you should never suggest that the government “distribute” anything.

Now let’s look at the other half of his intellectual nugget:

…so that wage-earners and pensioners do not pay the price for a crisis they did not create.

Nobody to blame here...please move along

Are you serious? “Wage-earners” can vote and “pensioners” have been voting even longer.  We are all guilty of this economic mess we are in.  “Society” must take all credit and blame for “society.”  After all, isn’t “society” the totality of the average people in any given region?  More importantly, each and everyone of us gets to choose how much we spend and how much we save.   I have spent most of my life watching Europeans and Americans sit around at sidewalk cafes sipping espresso and debating politics with complete and utter ignorance of economics.   How much does an espresso cost?  How much do coffee beans cost? How successful and popular have coffee shops been throughout Europe and the US for the last 20+years?  Think about it!  We sip away on a $5-$7 cup of coffee that costs 10 cents to make.  I used to work with a 20 year-old who would leave the office about 5-6 times a day to go get a $7 Starbucks Coffee.  So there went about $40 per day, or $880 per month or $10,560 per year.  If you are one of these people, please put down your espresso because class is now in session.

Lesson #1: Produce more than you consume

Here in the US, we have the Obama Administration and all big-government supporters in both parties telling us that borrowing from the Chinese to build and rebuild our own internal infrastructure is going to revive our economy.  This make as much sense as thinking that if my family sits in our home buying and selling things to and from each other, we will somehow become wealthy.  No, it doesn’t work like that.  We have to leave our home and produce something to earn something to bring home.  If we only sat in our homes buying a selling to each other, the cupboards will run empty and eventually the taxman and the mortgage company will show up at our door.  It’s very simple: produce more than you consume.  All you have to do is balance a checkbook to learn that you must produce more than you consume.  How many bridges are we going to sell to China?  How many roads and tunnels are we going to sell to India?  None.  How is building tennis courts in a park and a turtle-tunnel under a highway are going to revive our economy?  It’s not; all that does is put a little money in a few peoples’ pockets to prolong the inevitable collapse.  The best thing the governments can do is get out of the way of business

China, India and Southeast Asia are explosive economies while Europe and the USA are failing.  You see, people in China, India and Southeast Asia only want an opportunity, while Europe and the US want handouts.  We sit around and whine about sweat shops, while they hope, pray and work to get factories to work in.  We have deindustrialized our nations and shipped our manufacturing jobs overseas.  Why?  UNIONS!  Unions always talk about a “living wage, living wage,living wage.”  What they are referring to is paying $147,000 per year to an uneducated grunt for twisting bolts!  Let me see…go to college and study business only to earn $26k my first year, hope to reach $45k within 5-10 years and maybe achieve $100k plus in 15-20 years.  All the while changing employers and relying on my own ability to remain employed…or skip college and drive a bus for the same amount of money.   Hmmm, let me think about this one.

Lesson #2: Don’t punish achievement nor reward failure

Doesn’t anyone remember Pavlov’s dog?  Ivan Pavlov’s research on conditional reflexes is common knowledge in science and pop-culture.  Pavlov’s dog proved that if you reward an activity you will get more of it.  If you punish an activity and you will get less of it.  Reward the uneducated and unemployed and you will get more of them.  Punish success and achievement and you will get less of it.

Why do our local, state and federal governments require that people become destitute before providing assistance?  It’s really quite simple; because it is in their best interest to make you dependent.

The phrase “Pavlov’s dog” is also used to describe someone who merely reacts to a situation rather than using critical thinking.

You can’t tax yourself into prosperity.  You need the majority of your population to produce more than they consume.  Heck, even idiot drug dealers will tell you that.  Drug dealer who use their own products don’t survive because they always use more than they sell.

Pitting haves against have-nots is tired and old…more importantly is it LAZY!  If you want something EARN IT!

Let’s take a quick look at how this is working out today.  …and by the way, how is your 401k looking now?  How is your property value doing?

Is Donald Trump Smart Enough And Tough Enough To Be President?  I would have to say that he might be a good candidate for President of The Hair Club For Men if Sy Sperling decides to retire, but it might be a good idea to pass legislation barring Donald Trump from getting within 100 miles of Washington DC.

They are like every other kind of addict in that they are in denial and they can’t control themselves.  The 2010 election was like a failed “intervention.”  I’m afraid that it is a mental and behavioral disorder.  Maybe we need to create another whole host of treatment programs, subsidized by even more unfunded federal dollars printed up by our treasury.

“Hello.  My name is Harry Reid.  I have been clean for…well, let’s see…”

I think the only solution now is to build more treasury buildings across the country so they can print and spend money faster.  They have all proven to us that they are beyond a cure.  I give up.  My forehead is bleeding from pounding it against the wall.  My throat is sore from trying to explain to the entitlement 1/2 of the American population that the federal government only has debt, and that the only “money” they appear to have is what they take from us and what they print.  My keyboard is giving out and I don’t know if I can afford a new one.

Let’s just agree to classify their spending addiction as a disability so they can get special protections and spend until they are frothing at the mouth, with their eyes bulging out of the faces and their hands are shaking like any other addict (Nancy Pelosi is already there).  It’s just not fair for the rest of us to keep trying to deny that they are all sick and in need of our understanding.

Give up America.  Just give up.

US Housing starts posted their biggest decline in 27 years in February and building permits dropped to their lowest level on record. Gas prices are now the highest on record for the month of March and showing no sign of letting up as the world’s largest oil producing region is at war with political uprisings. The cost of jet fuel rose by nearly 20 percent in January, so airlines have reacted with fare increases of up to 30 percent. By Monday, every single stock market around the globe in the US, Asia and Europe were in a free-fall. I personally sold all of my stock because almost all of my 2010 gains were stripped away in 3 days of free-fall global sell-offs sparked by the trifecta of national disasters plaguing Japan.

Protesters are taking to the streets by the tens of thousands in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other states across the US. Union thugs and even little-old ladies are making public death threats against our elected politicians for doing their jobs. The police and sheriff unions sent threat letters to business owners in Wisconsin and yet who can these business owners turn to for protection? If the police threatened me, I might go the the Sheriff. If the Sheriff threatened me, I might go the the police. What do you do when the Sheriff and the police threaten you? Where is the FBI in all of this? Why are they not doing anything?

The US had an election last year so our elected representative chose to not vote on a budget for 2011 so that their votes could not be used against them in their campaigns. In other words, winning political office for themselves was more important than establishing a Federal budget for you and your country. It is now mid-March and they are going to punt again with another temporary fix called a “continuing resolution” so they can all go home and take a little personal time for rest and relaxation.

The Middle East is imploding with untold numbers of innocent civilians being slaughtered and bombed in their homes by their very own leaders and governments. Starting with Iran in 2009 and recently reigniting in Egypt, then spreading like a wildfire throughout the entire region. This is the most widespread political uprising in our lifetime. The civilian rebel fighters in Libya have been begging for a month now for just a little support in their battles against a brutal dictators who is bombing his own cities and killing his own people, yet the UN and the US leaders just talk about it and say “we’re still thinking about it.”

The Pacific Plate is clearly on the move with devastating earthquakes in Chile, New Zealand and Japan in the last year. Looking at the edges of the Pacific Plate clarifies that the western US is the next likely tectonic plate edge that will release power and produce a major earthquake. What are we doing to prepare in the wake of this wake up call?

Japan would have been in bad enough shape from a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, but the following tsunami wiped out an entire region of their island nation. The third largest economy on earth has been brought to her knees and over 10,000 are expected dead. Millions of our friends are now homeless, starving, freezing and now sitting on the doorstep of a complete and total nuclear meltdown of numerous reactors.

So…let me see if I’ve got this straight… In the last few weeks, food prices have jumped faster than they have since 1974. Oil and gas prices are skyrocketing and increasing the cost of…well…everything. Housing data in the US is on a downward trend. Every US industry that is tied to the Japanese economy is about to take a BIG blow, including technology and the auto industry. War is spreading like wildfire. The economy has jumped off the cliff and markets are in a free-fall… not looking very good.

No Drama Obama is picking his favorite college basketball teams, going to dinners, parties and all kinds of fun political fundraisers. Michelle Obama is planting a garden and all of the Obama family is packing for their vacation in Rio. Of course, President Obama will be meeting Latin leaders and giving speeches (nothing new) while Michelle, the girls and all their security detail will enjoy a lot of sight-seeing, fun and frolic. There will probably be more pictures of the Obamas frolicking on the beach.

We live in the year 2011, not 1911

This picture is NOT 2011.

If you don’t like your job, quit and get a new one. If you can’t seem to get a job that pays as much as you want, consider an education.  If there are “no jobs available” in your area, move to where the jobs are.  Nobody “owes” you anything for breathing.  If you want to quit breathing…go ahead, that’s your choice.  A job is not a “right.”  Jobs are earned.  Raises are earned.  Promotions are earned.

I pay for 100% of my family’s medical insurance and retirement.  I have yet to find one person who will even attempt to explain to me – logically – why it is my responsibility to pay for all of mine and all of theirs too.  We don’t need unions.  In fact, unions are nothing more than gangs who threaten to create havoc if the majority of the rest of us do not concede to their demands.  I earn my keep, you should earn yours.  You have no “special rights” over me.  ELIMINATE UNIONS AND RETURN OUR COUNTRY TO A FREE MARKET ECONOMY!

I personally haven’t received a raise in 3 years and I have no job security.  I am not a part of any union and so I have to pay for my own family’s retirement and medical insurance.   Our CEO has been talking to and looking at me differently lately.  I’m fairly certain that I will soon be unemployed.  Unemployment and mortgage foreclosures continue to plague the American people.  Considering the state of the union, I am not pleased with being forced to pay for the retirement funds and health care of other people, while I teeter on the brink of financial ruin.

Americans are taking to the streets to protest like they haven’t in decades.  Wisconsin and Ohio are leading the charge on this.  Tens of thousands of government employees are refusing to do the jobs we pay them to do.  They still get paid, but they won’t work to earn their money.  14 Senators have fled the state of Wisconsin, refusing to do their jobs and the union police also refused to do their job when ordered to clear the Capitol after more than two weeks of 1960′s style sit-ins and shouting matches.  This is causing smaller satellite protests of solidarity across the US.  Everybody expects this to spread like a wildfire.

Right on the US border-nation of Mexico, 22,700 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon launched his war on the drug cartels.  Calderon has dispatched more than 48,000 soldiers and thousands of federal police officers along the U.S. border and in other drug-smuggling hot spots across the country.  The deadliest of all are the border towns sitting right on the doorstep of the US.  These cartels are not satisfied to simply murder people; apparently cutting off their heads has become all the rage lately.  Terrorism is here.

There are taxpayer-funded signs in the Arizona desert warning US citizens that these parts of our sovereign US soil are not safe for US citizens because they have been taken over by the Mexican Drug Cartels. American citizens have been murdered by these cartels in Texas and Arizona.  Recently, a United States ICE agent was killed in a gunfight and it has now come to light that our very own federal government has armed our agents with bean-bag guns and instructed them to use bean bags before they use lethal weapons.  If my understanding of the speed of a bullet is correct, I’m not certain that US agents can fire off a couple of bean bags, switch guns and then fire bullets faster than an Uzi can spray a barrage of lethal projectiles.  President Obama just met with Mexican President Calderon and agreed to send our federal agents to help them with the war.  This is good, but I found it incredibly disturbing that they then held a press conference in which President Obama announce to the world that our agents will be unarmed…in Mexico.   The cartels are killing anyone and everyone who opposes them; including police chiefs and Mayors.  They are dismembering them and hanging torsos from bridges.  So I don’t think it was a very good idea to tell them to look forward to unarmed US agents stepping into their turf.

A decapitated victim was recently found in an apartment of the formerly pleasant little town of Chandler Arizona, which is a part of the greater Phoenix area.  Phoenix is under siege as the kidnapping capital of the US and they hold the record for the second highest rate of kidnapping on planet Earth.  This is neither Russia nor China; this is the snowbird golf-resort destination, which happens to be the 6^th largest city in the United States.

American kids of Mexican descent in Phoenix staged violent anti-American protests in Phoenix last year which included throwing rocks and bottles at our police whom we pay to maintain order and keep us all safe.

American kids of Mexican descent tore down the American flag and marched in the streets of LA with Mexican flags held high, essentially claiming this US “turf” as their own.  This was them throwing down a challenge which Americans showed that they are not willing to take up.

There continue to be seemingly never-ending wars in the Sudan, Darfur and Somalia.  Innocent civilians have been slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands.  Many of them have been dismembered alive with machetes.  Somalian pirates kill and rob anyone who sails too close to their shores, yet the US, British and Russian Navy warships combined can’t seem to stop a bunch of uneducated teens and young men with rifles in little aluminum fishing boats.

Sunnis and Shiites are at war all over the planet.  Islamic fundamentalists are at war with their own citizens who want democracy all over the Middle East.  There is a tsunami sweeping across the Middle East like none in my lifetime.  The wave of protests sweeping the Arab world has already led to the ouster of longtime leaders in Tunisia and Egypt, and an uprising in Libya that will result in the end of their dictator, but not until many citizens are slaughtered in the streets by their very own government.

There are violent public clashes in Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.  Terrorist organizations like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine have prospered in democratic elections and exert huge influence.  Both parties have armed wings which have denounced Israel’s right to exist and support violence as a political tool.  There is more and more talk throughout the Middle East about the complete and total annihilation of Israel and yet the current US Administration has seemingly turned their backs on Israel.  The clock is ticking down on Israel…and this is truly an example of what people mean when they say an event is of “biblical proportions.”  Jews, Christians and Muslims all seem to agree that there will be an “end of time” as we know it; we all just differ on the circumstances.  The destruction of Israel is paramount to the Torah, The Bible and The Qur’an.

What is President Obama doing about all of this?  This weekend, President Obama is at a Democratic Fundraiser at the beautiful Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Florida.  The weather forecast in Miami today is a lovely 80 degrees with pleasant winds out of the east at 14 MPH.

“You get the government that you deserve”

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Union/Government Attack Taxpaying American Citizens - Photo courtesy of AP

These BIG-union-organized protests are an attack on working families.  The vast majority of “working people” and “working families” are not union members, yet we are all forced against our will to pay for 100% of union members’ retirement, lifetime medical insurance, extended paid vacations, etc.  We already pay 100% of our own retirement and medical expenses so it doesn’t make sense that we should have to pay for our neighbors’ retirement and medical expenses too.  Doesn’t it make sense that each and every person can be responsible for their own well being?  During these tough economic times it is simply not practical for the majority of working families to continue to try to support their own families and the families of people who get special protections from the government and their big-union political contributors.

The vast majority of workers don’t have a say in the matter.  If you pay taxes, your income is confiscated from your check and then delivered by your government to pay for union members’ salaries and gold-plated lifetime benefits.  The really bizarre part of this is that taxpayer money is being used by these unions to demonstrate against taxpayers to make us give them more money.  Bizarre, don’t you think?
FDR was against the unionization of government employees because he knew that this would happen.  The Wisconsin police are union members so they stand with the unions and against the taxpaying working families who pay their salaries.  They are against the private sector’s desire to reign in government excess and abuse of our taxpayer dollars.  This is a battle between those who produce profits towards the GDP and those who take the fruits of our labor – organized big-government and big-unions against private sector taxpaying American citizens.

Unions have the support of and/or control over the police, firefighters, schools, government agencies, the Democratic Party and the mass media.  This causes a little problem…the police are who we would usually expect to control masses of angry mobs from doing things like taking hostage our taxpayer-funded capitols with the sole intent of demanding that the government take more from us and give it to them.   The police are union members too so the rest of us have no defenses.  This is the government against the people.

We the people followed the democratic process and voted for the candidates like Gov. Walker who promised us that they would reign in government excess and abuse, but the union/government machine is taking to civil disobedience to thwart our system of representative government. Highly paid union leaders extort the government to confiscate excessive taxes from non-union workers (the majority of us) to line their pockets and redistribute some of it to their members as exorbitant salaries and gold-plated lifetime benefits packages.  In exchange for this legalized extortion, the union leaders pay themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, contribute billions and billions of our confiscated dollars right back to the very Democratic politicians to get them re-elected.  The union members agree to protest in the streets to maintain this legalized extortion and the police give them free reign to hold our government hostage.  Why wouldn’t they?  It’s a good deal for them.  They get to keep all of their money and part of yours too.

It’s really too bad the Republicans are always too stupid to know how to communicate.  You see, this is nothing more than union thugs attacking the REAL MAJORITY of “working families.”  Over 66% of public sector workers are NOT in unions and over 96% of private sector workers are NOT in unions. So clearly, the vast majority of “working people” “hard workers” and “working families” are getting robbed by the government to “redistribute” your hard-earned income to pay for union members’ lifetime medical insurance, retirement, etc.

Even Democrat Jimmy Carter with a Democrat-controlled Congress took collective bargaining rights away from federal union members because he knew it was a major conflict of interest and would be a budget buster.

Don’t be fooled America!  You pay your own way; why should you have to pay for theirs too?  Write and call your representatives and the media.  Don’t give in.

And HEY…REPUBLICAN PARTY… HIRE ME TO TEACH YOU HOW TO COMMUNICATE!

Here is your message:

These union/government protests are nothing more than an attack on America’s working families.  It is the government against the people.  Your teachers are neglecting your children by not showing up for work, your elected representatives are neglecting their sworn duty by not showing up for work and your police are refusing to do their job by maintaining order.  They are all neglecting their jobs, turning their backs on you and basically failing to uphold their promises to all of you, all the while you are still paying for 100% of their salaries and benefits.  It is up to you America do decide what you want to do

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

—–

Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of government employees.  Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of pubic employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable.

[***This is not my usual fact-filled-checked and verified kind of article.  This one is from the heart.  If you have any small children, you might want to ask them to leave the room.***]

Workers Rights?
Why should some bus driver make $90,000+ per year and why am I paying for his entire family’s health care and retirement?  Why do these morons think that it is my responsibility to pay for my health care and retirement and pay for theirs too?  What the f–k is tenure?  Why do teachers get to keep their jobs no matter how badly they suck?  Why did I recently hear about a mother in Akron Ohio who was sentence to 10 days in jail and $30,000 in fines because her children used their father’s address to get into a school other than the war zone in their neighborhood.  Their local war zone (school) has a dropout rate of over 80%!!!  OMG!!! That entire administration, school board and all of the teachers should be fired!  The elected officials should be charged with dereliction of duty for letting this school continue to exist.  This is CRIMINAL to fail children so badly.  Instead, they charged, tried and convicted a mother for trying to give her children a fighting chance in life.  This adds a whole new meaning to teachers’ favorite phrase “If you can read this (verdict), Thank a teacher.”

Working Families?
I am tired of all this “Working Families” crap on so many levels.  They have commandeered these two words to try and tug on our heartstrings. Let’s get a couple of things straight:

1. Nobody hires a “family,” we hire individuals.
2. “Working families, working class, working people”…enough already!  Are you morons trying to imply that the rest of us don’t work?  There is not a “class” of people who work in this country, WE ALL WORK!  In fact, we work HARDER in the private sector.

Public Servant / Public Service?
Using the words “service” and “servant” is their way of trying to make us all think that they are the downtrodden.  Yeah, right!  If you have ever been in a city, county, state or federal government office, you have seen inefficiencies that would DESTROY in the private sector.  ”Take a number please” and then go sit for hours waiting for your turn.  Behind the protective glass at the counter, two slow-moving overweight sloths gossip about their supervisor, or last night’s episode of Real Housewives.  Just before your number is called, one of them gets up and goes to lunch, slowing the progress towards you turn.  Finally some other slow moving sloth sits down behind the protective glass and spends about 10 minutes counting something and/or arranging their pencils or whatever it takes to get their little power-station in order.  You walk up and tell them that you have been waiting for 2 hours and 53 minutes and they simply point to the unlit sign over their glass, indicating that they are still on break, without having the human decency to say a word.  A supervisor comes over to you and asks “What seems to be the problem?”  You go on and on about how time is money and you are losing both and that your boss will not tolerate your absence for much longer and you still have to pick up your child from the doctor.  It didn’t matter what you said, because they were just waiting for you to finish so they could ask you to please take a seat and wait for your number to get called.  By the way, the reason that they are so slow today (just like every other day) is that 1/2 of their staff is out protesting slave-like conditions and demanding that you pay for their retirement, health care and 2 months paid leave per year.

As for politicians calling themselves “public servants,” go —- yourselves!  These politicians rule over us like tyrannical overlords and fill their coffers with millions and millions of our hard-earned dollars and then stand in front of a microphone receiving another “contribution” while faking a tear and telling us how humbled they are to have the opportunity to serve us.  Walk right into Nancy Pelosi’s office and tell them you want to speak with her.  Her gatekeepers will say “She is not available right now, but if you would like to enter your contact information on this form, she will contact you.”  If you tell them that you’re not leaving until you get to see her, they will call security.  So in your idealistic desperation, you enter all of your contact info onto the little paper on the clipboard and leave with your tail between your legs.  Of course she uses this information to contact you…in that every election cycle you get another form-letter about how much she cares about you and your family … and requesting a contribution to her re-election campaign.

Living Wage?
Unions always fight for a “living wage” saying “you can’t support a family on minimum wage.”  New Flash:  You’re not supposed to support a family on minimum wage.  Many of us started at minimum wage.  I delivered newspapers, worked in the farm fields picking grapes, washed dishes, bussed and waited on tables, cooked, shined shoes, dug ditches, landscaped, cleaned pools, drove a taxi and worked almost every field in construction including framer, dry-waller, painter, plumber, electrician, tile-setter and brick layer.  I could not nor should I have been able to support a family on those wages.  By the way, none of them were union jobs.  If I didn’t go to work, I didn’t get paid.  If I miss three days straight, I get fired.  If I want medical insurance, I would have to seek an employer who provided it and pay my share of it.  If I want retirement, I must invest in my own retirement.

If you want a raise, go to school and learn something useful, invent something, create something, get off your lazy duff and be bold enough to be the change in your own life.  Look at these union protests and you will see that the majority of them are sloppy, lazy looking, unkept and either overweight from sitting around complaining about entitlements or skinny as a rail because they have never had to strain a muscle working hard.

Health Care Law
The SEIU was the most vocal, organized and physically abusive of all people  at the town hall meetings in support of the health care law that the Democrats shoved down our throats against our will.  They showed up at these meetings across America and shouted down opposition and even beat some people down in the streets outside.  It got to the point that hard working non-union citizens knew better than to state their opinion at the microphone, because you tube already had videos of opponents getting assaulted by 250-pound SEIU thugs in the parking lots outside of the town halls.  Here’s the kicker…THE SEIU WAS GIVEN A WAIVER SO THEY ARE NOT HELD TO THE SAME LAW AS THE REST OF US!  So they railed and rallied and shouted and demanded that Congress pass this law against the rest of us, yet they get a private exclusion.  How the —- is that fair?  I am the biggest PROponent of free speech, but just as hate speech is outlawed, there are limits.  I feel as though they should not have had a place at the table of the microphone since the law is not imposed upon them.  The microphones and the town halls should have been reserved for the people whom this law applies to.  If this is not the most blatant example of a thugocracy, then I don’t know what is.

Protesters or hired cry-babies?
It was only a couple of years ago that a carpenters’ union went on strike, yet the strikers didn’t even look like construction workers.  As it turned out, these were hired protesters who were bused in to strike on behalf of the carpenters, who all simply took paid time off to go fishing or play couch potato.  If you can’t even muster up the energy to get off your lazy duff to stand up for yourself…screw you! If this is not a wakeup call to the rest of us, then we deserve what we get… overpaid couch potatoes.

I was once looking for a job in The People’s Socialist Republic of San Francisco and I couldn’t believe when I found an ad offering $30,000 per year to protest.  The ad stated that most of the time, the applicant would not have to work, but they had to be prepared to be bused to anywhere in the USA within 24 hours notice.  OMG!  When I went to the Haight Ashbury and saw the unwashed masses of drug addicted grunge-hippies in army pants and black t-shirts, I realized that I recognized these people; they are the ones who are bused in to protest rallies to protest for “workers rights.”

Examples Of Why UNIONS SUCK

• In this last 2010 election, the Nurses Union in California waited until right before the election to trot out illegal alien Nicky Diaz to cry in front of cameras with her union-paid, grandstanding lawyer Gloria Allred as they lied about Meg Whitman to bring Jerry Brown back from the dead and send him back to the Governor’s Mansion.  The polling results instantly tilted in Brown’s favor and he won.  Elections are designed to allow the citizens to choose whomever they want as their elected officials, not whoever the Nurses Union wants.  As far as I’m concerned, the Nurses Union and Allred should be charged with election tampering.
• Many years ago I was floored when I found out that janitors in New York did not have to mop the floors in New York City schools because their union contract specifically stated that they do not have to because it was demeaning and embarrassing to mop a floor in front of children.  Really?  Who was mopping the floor?  Nobody!  I shudder to think about all of germs that must have festered as these thousand of kids walked to school on the urine-stained sidewalk and subways and then tracked it all over the school.

Wisconsin Teachers Union
For the last two days, teachers in Wisconsin have blown off the job they promised to do so they could go scream in the capitol building demanding more for less.  Wisconsin is BILLIONS of dollars in debt and they have to do something about it.  During this union-organized staged protest, the news interviewed some teenage moron who said that the only real solution is to “tax the rich.”  Idiot!  I would love to see him interview with my company.  Good luck on food stamps you moron.
* Note to all business owners in Wisconsin – Get out from behind enemy lines and let that kid fend for himself*

All 14 of the Democratic Senators fled the state on a bus to avoid having to vote on the issue at hand…COWARDS!  They should all be thrown out of office and charged with dereliction of duty, but no, it doesn’t matter either way.  They all went to a resort in Illinois and they will still get paid…BASTARDS!

Dozens of schools were closed because there were not enough adults to run the schools.  Many of the teachers even brought their students with them to the angry and raucous protest.  If one teacher took my kid out of school, off school grounds and brought them in a crowd of thousands of angry demonstratosr, just to be a prop for their personal demands,  I would beat the living daylights out of  that teacher.  I would walk right up and beat him unconscious full well knowing that I would serve time for my actions.  I would beat that man so badly that he would likely never teach again because his body would instinctively shiver and shake when standing in front of a crowd.  He would likely spend the rest of his life as a recluse undergoing intense therapy and stuttering.  It would be a “teach the teacher” kind of moment in that in just a few minutes of pure uncontrolled rage, this teacher would learn lessons in the brutality of the roman empire, the psychology behind sever-torture, the history of hand-to-hand combat in warfare, the mathematical formula of blows-received-to-pain correlation, the physics of blunt-force trauma, the organized chaos found in physics and the physiological impact of fight-or-flight in animals.  The homework would consist of emergency medical treatment, the healing process in the human body and finally a legal course in my conviction.  I can guarantee you one thing though… I would take my conviction like a man and neither I nor my kids would probably be allowed within 1,000 feet of a public school again.  KEEP THE KIDS OUT OF IT!!!

If you want retirement, invest your own money.  If you want medical insurance, buy it.  NOBODY is paying for my retirement or medical insurance. Why are you marching in the street against me and all of the rest of us, THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS, all the while demanding that we are responsible for your security and happiness?

My desire is to protect our entire country and globe from financial collapse; not to protect you from having to pay your own way.  Unions Suck!

[***We now return to your regularly scheduled program***]

I then found an article from a professor on a “student activist” website.  In the posts following the article, the professor/author asked two of the posters “If you could join a white student union without fear of being called a racist, would you? And if so, what would this group actually do? What kind of programming would it put on? What activities? What events?”  Even if the author was serious, I sensed an air of sarcasm in his questions.  I replied with the following:

The following are a few examples of what a “White Student Union” could and would do and stand for.

The first thing we would do is fight to END all racial student unions. The old people running our schools were young in the 1960′s, racial unions probably made sense at the time, but not in 2010. The racism of your generation should not be force-fed to the new generations. Little kids don’t think in terms of another kid’s color, but then, along comes the school administrations, forcing “color-thought” into all classroom literature and activities. We would seek to identify and challenge any materials and all school-sanctioned activities intended to put color on the stage or the forefront of discussion. You want balance? How about this: whenever you insist on reminding us of 1960′s black activists, we will hold rallies shining light on white activists who stood arm-in-arm with their black brothers and sisters. We will fight to balance the teachings of the civil war, so that all young people understand that it was white non-racist activists who waged war against their racists counterparts, it was the bloodiest war in American history and the American death-toll was higher than WWI and WWII combined! We already shed our blood to end the injustices. We almost destroyed ourselves from within.

We will bring to light that Dr. Martin Luther King is to be idolized and emulated for he was every bit the great man that Historians claim he was, yet Nelson Mandela was a terrorist who was NOT imprisoned as a “political prisoner” but was jailed for 193 counts of terrorism committed between 1961 and 1963 and his terrorist guerilla organization was found in possession of 210,000 hand grenades, 48,000 anti-personnel mines, 1,500 time devices, 144 tons of ammonium nitrate, 21.6 tons of aluminum powder and a ton of black powder. We will insist on full disclosure forcing the recognition of the fact that Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the African National Congress (ANC) and South African Communist Party. He had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists. Mandela should NEVER be celebrated on any campus unless you want more of the same.

We will form student review boards to verify the accuracy of curriculum. For instance, I went through the public education system and four different colleges, yet I was a working adult before I found out that in 1854, the Republican Party was formed to abolish slavery. It was the Southern DEMOCRATS whom they were fighting against. The Republicans, under Abraham Lincoln, won the war, which led the way for the elimination of slavery. In the 1960′s, it was primarily the Republicans who fought for and passed the Civil Rights legislations of 1964 and 1968. Senate, Republican Minority Leader Everett Dirksen rounded up the votes of most Republicans. Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Al Gore Sr. and Robert Byrd fought hard AGAINST Civil Rights. Democrat Senator Byrd is the former Klansman whom Democrats still call “the conscience of the Senate.” Byrd filibustered against the civil rights bill for fourteen straight hours before the final vote. The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 124, a vote in which 80% of Republicans and only 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. What’s my point? Just because our schools lean far left politically, this does NOT give them the right to alter history by leaving out very important historical facts. I am sick of schools and media always saying “Republicans = racist.” This is BS. It was the Republicans who eliminated slavery and passed Civil Rights legislations of 1964 and 1968, all against Democrats’ wishes. Maybe it would take a white student union to force this kind of truth in education, because right now, there are no white student unions and little facts like these are not taught – coincidence?

We will fight for equal funding. There is no United Anglo College Fund, nor should there be. There should NEVER be separatist funding denied to one group due to the color of their skin…in this case, white. I and many of my white counter-parts are sick and tired of having to pay out of our own pockets for our education simply because we are white. There is NO equality in this. If the claim is that colleges give preferred funding to white people, THEN FIX IT! For God’s sake, the schools very own finance departments are in control so they can simply fix their own internal problems. I have attended four different colleges and none of them had white people working in the finance departments, so where is this supposed racism coming from? Again, we will fight the schools to fix their own financial departments instead of giving preferential treatment to everyone but whites.

We would fight to eliminate all of these special programs designed for only Chinese, Native American, India and South Asia, Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, African, Latin, Chicano, Near Eastern, women, gays and people who prefer croissants over pop-tarts. This is ridiculous. School administrations create MUCH more separatism and inter-racial strife than exists in the working world. Go to the DMV or your local bank and you will see people of all colors and national origins working and lunching together every day. We will fight to END racial separatism on campus.

You were right Angus, nobody has ever started a white student union, because every college on Earth would close its doors before it would ever allow that to happen. We would fight tooth-and-nail to end institutionalized racism against whites from grade school, high school and college faculties and administrations. We will not ask for specialized courses that teach separatism like “Great White Leaders in History,” “White Inventors” or “The Impact of White People on Western Civilization.” No, we don’t believe in separatism. However, the schools do and I see more racial strife on campuses than I do in the rest of life in America. Students spend half of their time in school learning how to battle and debate differences between each other, then they graduate, get jobs and we all work together happily. We don’t have all these color-based separatist organizations in the workplace. However, many people carry the seeds of racism that were planted by the separatist school systems.

“Diversity” sounds great and the whole world is so PC that nobody even cares that “diversity” is actually a code word for “Exclude all white, heterosexual, Christian men born in America.”

Lastly, on the lighter side, we could organize large outdoor rallies in which we invite every student union of every color and we would have a theme of “E Pluribus Unum” From the many, ONE! All kinds of bands would perform, international food would be served, trinkets and artwork from every culture would be sold and students would be invited to give speeches on what unites us all, not what divides us. I don’t see this happening in my lifetime, but a white student union could do this, but only if they could get permission to even exist from the clearly anti-white school officials.

There is just too much going on in the world of politics today including the Wikileaks scandal, never-ending threats from North Korean, Iran and Venezuela, failing economies the world over and US Congress battling over…well, pretty much everything.  Then, I watched this video (with the accompanying music/lyrics) and was reminded again that greatness is always in THE PEOPLE.  Governments cause problems, crises discord and wars amongst people.  PEOPLE are what make make life amazing.

Many years ago, I was giving free sailboat rides at a boat show and I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful family from Russia.  There was a man, his wife and their lovely little girl. They were so polite and friendly.  As we sailed along on a beautiful day just enjoying a wide ranging discussion, we came to the realization that he served in the former Soviet Union’s Air Force at the same time that my father had served in the US Air Force. Government leaders would call on either of them to kill each other at the drop of a dime, yet we can all get along beautifully when left to our own choices.  People ARE Awesome; governments suck!

While watching this, I couldn’t help but realize that many of these things are illegal and are regularly stopped by government officials to protect us from ourselves.  The old man balancing on the chair would be hauled off in cuffs for “public endangerment” if he tried that in New York.  Think of the Frenchman they call Spiderman and how he gets arrested whenever he climbs to the top of a building using his bare hands. 12 people might gather in the woods to watch and film someone doing a huge jump on a bike, skis or just about anything and some park ranger will cite them for “a gathering of more than 10 people without a permit” or a “public performance without a permit.” Skateboarding is illegal in almost every town square.  When will we say enough is enough?

There was a time in which people were allowed to achieve greatness and were encouraged to do so, yet now, too many in society ask “is that allowed?”  For God’s sake, you can’t even buy a Happy Meal in San Francisco because their city council thinks it is too dangerous.  Some of the people in these videos had to try and try and muster up unbelievable amounts of courage to achieve what they did, they did not wait for permission or a handout.  Even those who demonstrated excellence without physical risk, still had to believe in personal achievement.  Seek ways in your life to achieve greatness or at least do something exceptional and don’t worry about whether or not the government agrees or supports it.

Did you know that Congress is exempt from insider trading laws?  This means that Congress and their staff are allowed to invest in companies that have a huge stake in the outcome of legislation, and that includes the not so publicized pork buried within the legislation. This is why so many members of congress become multi-millionaires even though they only make $174,000 per year.  Wise up people!

There is nothing we can do about Democrats who vote for pork, because it is their way.  However, we can go after Republicans who voted to keep their pork?  Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), James Inhofe (Okla.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Richard Shelby (Ala.).  America, do everything in your power to oust these criminally-minded barons.

1. Meg Whitman used an employment agency to hire a housekeeper. Employment agencies exist as outsourced HR departments. No legal employment agency can place illegal immigrants and so Meg trusted them to provide her with LEGAL job applicants.  Meg was not hypocritical.  Meg followed standard hiring protocol and the law.
2. Nobody has claimed that the employment agency deceived Meg, so it was Nicky Diaz Santillan who LIED about her status in the US.  Meg was not hypocritical.  Meg followed standard hiring protocol and the law.
3. Meg paid Nicky $23 per hour!  My GOD, $23 per hour for a frickin’ housekeeper?!?!  Nicky hit the jackpot!  She broke the law sneaking into the US, screwed her own countrymen and women who are still waiting to enter the US LAWFULLY, lied on her application and lived a lie for years while taking a very well-paying job from a US citizen or LEGAL immigrant and made more money than many people I know.
4. When Meg and her husband received a letter in the mail, which asked for clarification of Nicky’s Social Security information, they informed Nicky (as would be expected), figured it was bureaucratic snafu (as would be expected) and trusted Nicky to straighten it out…as would be expected.
5. The moment Meg found out that Nicky was ILLEGAL, she fired her…as would be expected.  Meg was not hypocritical; she followed the law.

Meg Whitman was duped by an ILLEGAL and got screwed all the way to the end.  I would hope that Gloria Alred and the Union would simply congratulate each other for successfully stealing the election from the California voters by duping all of them with an October Surprise, but they could not leave well enough alone.  They decided to drag Meg through the mud with a ridiculous lawsuit for back wages.  BACK WAGES?!?! For an ILLEGAL?!?!  Who made twenty-frickin-three dollars an hour?  Are you f–king kidding me?  At what point in American history did we decide that OUR court system which is paid for by us can be used by and ILLEGAL ALIEN to sue one of us?  It is OUR court system.  Get the f–k out of our country you lying , thieving, spoiled rotten over-paid ILLEGAL ALIEN!  Meg and her husband paid the extortion to make the story go away.  They publicly stated that they are not admitting to owning the money, they are just tired of it all.  I’m not even a billionaire, yet I too would pay $5,500 to get rid of this thorn in my side.

I just wonder if all of the involved parties can be prosecuted under California election laws, for tampering with votes.  I would assume that we should have a law on the books that would make it a crime to knowingly sit on information and coordinate a well-conspired timed attack to sway the election your way.  Even if it is against the law, who would prosecute?  Liberal Democrats own the Governors mansion, the state legislature and the courts.  The will of at least 15-20 million Californians doesn’t matter since Californians don’t vote for checks and balances, but instead, give complete and total control to one party…the very party that has driven California’s richest residents and businesses out of the state, and driven California BILLIONS of dollars in debt.   It reminds me of the old saying “you get the government you deserve.”

Meg Whitman did make a mistake; she hired a Mexican with an accent, who promised that she was a legal immigrant and Meg paid her very well.  Meg also followed the law to a T, yet she still got burned (as did California residents).  What is the moral of this story?  I don’t expect Meg or any other person with common sense to hire anyone with an accent ever again, lest you want Gloria Alred to punish you for your choice.

As for the Nurses Union…stay tuned, because I am personally launching an investigation into their actions.  I will follow their every move and report back to you.

Harry Reid said:

“It is unconscionable for Senate Republicans to hold middle-class tax cuts hostage in order to secure more tax giveaways for millionaires and CEOs who ship American jobs overseas,” Reid said. “Today’s declaration by Senate Republicans means they are willing to raise taxes on the middle class and small businesses in the middle of a recession.”

Captain Clarity replies:

1) It is unconscionable for Senate Democrats to hold middle-class tax cuts hostage just because they can’t control their addiction to spending our money.  STOP with your attacks on successful people!  Every company that I have ever worked for was owned by someone making $250,000 per year or more.   These are the very people who will increase or decrease hiring you moron.  If you raise their taxes again, then more of them will not be able to hire all the unemployed people.  2) Allowing people to keep their money that they have earned does not constitute a “tax giveaway;” It is called “allowing people to keep their money that they have earned.”  Congress raising taxes on one group to give it to another is a tax giveaway.  3) A small percentage of CEOs happen to run multi-national corporations, but that does NOT give you the right to accuse all small business owners of shipping jobs overseas.  Stop the class warfare already!  How is it that you have been a government employee since 1966, have never made $200,000 per year, yet you are a multimillionaire? HOW HARRY?  It is really too bad that only the Congress investigates Congress.  That is like asking the fox to investigate who ate the chicken.

Regarding 9/11, Jesse Jackson went on Al-Jazeera and said:

Many immediately associated that with Islam, which is just unfounded, untrue

Captain Clarity replies:

Apparently Jesse Jackson didn’t watch the Islamic world celebrating 9/11. Egyptian and Pakistani Muslims celebrated in the streets as though it their respective countries had won the FIFA World Cup.  I watched Muslim grandmothers and little children celebrating on  the streets throughout the Middle East as Americans were burned, crushed, fell and leaped to their deaths.  Those were not outsider terrorist cells dressed in black.  Those were the mainstream Muslims.  They thought we were being destroyed and they celebrated and danced in the streets.  They had no idea how quickly we would put a stop to it, not did they know how furiously we would defend ourselves and come back at them.  Now they get all quiet and meek asking “can’t we all just get along?”

On the Ground Zero Trophy Mosque debate, President Obama called for “Unity” from the American people.

Captain Clarity replies:

Unity?  Tell you what Mr. President…ask the Imam to NOT build the trophy mosque near Ground Zero and that will start the healing.  If the Imam will tell the Muslim world that HE has HIMSELF decided to move the mosque, then Muslims should not have any reason to “incite violence” against us all over the world.  We have over 100 Mosques in New York and a couple of thousand Mosques throughout America.  We live tolerance and acceptance in America.  We even elected you President, although you grew up Muslim and keep your Muslim name.  They won’t even throw us a bone.  Quit telling US to what to do, and search for the courage to speak to them regarding OUR wishes.  We can’t unify when they demand everything and concede nothing.  It is like an abusive relationship in that it will not work until BOTH parties concede something and agree to something.

Karl Rove attacked Tea Party Christine O’Donnell demeaning her “checkered past” and talking trash about her tax problems and how she lost her house.

It does conservatives little good to support candidates who at the end of the day while they may be conservative in their public statements do not event the characteristics of rectitude, truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for.

Captain Clarity replies:

Hey Karl, many voters including me have a checkered past.  I too have had tax problems.  I too have lost a house.  I’m happy that your pansy ass has enjoyed a privileged life.  However, we are tired of being pushed around and lied to by all of you private schooled, country-club boys. in DC.  Your time is over.  Good Bye and good riddance. As for “characteristics of rectitude, truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for,” we don’t see that anywhere in DC.  What we DO see is that you people who spend too much time in DC don’t even know what honesty is.  None of you are willing to ever say the word LIE!  You say “he was being disingenuous” or “she was not completely forthcoming.”  We call it LYING!  It’s as though everyone who arrives in DC is told to never use the words “LIE” or “LIAR” if they want a career in DC.  I would never make it in DC because I am too straight forward and I -  like Christine O’Donnell – have a “checkered past.”

South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Alvin Greene said

Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That’s something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It’s not something a typical person would bring up. That’s something that could happen, that makes sense. It’s not a joke.

Captain Clarity replies:

WOW!  I just think…nevermind.   WOW!?!? /facepalm

I love Mexican people, culture and heritage, so don’t call me a racist for believing that America has a right to its OWN people, culture and heritage…OF ALL COLORS. I am against racism, communism, violence and incendiary morons like this angry man.

I sent the following email to his school’s website at santeefalcons.org

How can you employ this racist, anti-capitalist, anti-white, anti-American teacher and pay him with CAPITALIST US tax dollars to threaten white people? Are there any white kids in your school? Are there any white kids IN HIS CLASS?!?! If you are letting this hate-filled racist anywhere NEAR white kids, then you endanger them. If you continue to let him promote revolution against white capitalists, then you will be charged for the next child injured or murdered as a result of his hatred.

We are calling on all of your students to record and video tape this “teacher” in action. You will see this evidence publicized and maybe subpoenaed when we take your school to court for inciting violence.

The really unfortunate thing is that I just looked up the school stats and discovered that they claim 3,189 Hispanic or Latino students and only 4 White (Not Hispanic) students.  I can’t even imagine being on of those 4 students in such a hostile environment as this teacher’s class.  God have mercy on them.

Slain AZ Rancher Robert Krentz

Arizona rancher Phil Krentz reported smuggling activity on his ranch, authorities investigate and seize drugs and arrest 8 ILLEGAL ALIEN drug runners.  The next day, the rancher’s brother Robert Krentz was murdered on his own ranch and the footprints lead right back to Mexico.  The people of AZ demand enforcement of the border and the Governor complies by signing a law providing law enforcement with the authority to enforce already existing Federal laws that our Federal government won’t enforce.  Far-left, race-baiting, anti-white, anti-America, “Brown-Pride” liberals instantly spread lies about the bill and uninformed people jump on a politically-correct bandwagon.  Even President Obama got it all wrong and when commenting on the bill. Nobody has to open their mouth and expose their ignorance because everyone can read bill SB 1070 for themselves at http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf

At the White House Corespondents Dinner, Obama made a joke about ILLEGAL immigration and Governor Brewer responds with a video called “President Obama, No One in Arizona is Laughing.”

I saw a really ignorant comment posted under the video on YouTube and felt the need to reply.  All of the sudden…it was on.  I spend a lot of time debating politics and sometimes it feels like shooting fish in a barrel.  I mean…some people are so stupid that it is just too easy to crush their silly little arguments.  Following are a few examples:

wonstah wrote

It’s easy to state a bunch of facts and point the finger at a specific party. I like how she takes Obama’s joke at a CORRESPONDENTS DINNER, where he is supposed to joke around in a light-hearted fashion, and uses it for the political benefit of this video. The fact that the only video she could find to support her argument is a joke is laughable. How about helping our country do something and propose an idea about this issue instead of blaming it on the president?

I replied

Please google “Robert Krentz” and look at his face. He was murdered on his own ranch by ILLEGAL immigrants. The day before he was murdered, his brother, Phil Krentz, reported drug smuggling activity on the ranch to the Border Patrol who then seized almost 300 pounds of marijuana and arrested eight people on his ranch. I dare you to face the family of Robert Krentz and tell them that Obama’s joke was funny. Robert’s body is now cold and ROTTING! THIS IS NOT A JOKE YOU F*CKING IDIOT!

Because he had written “How about helping our country do something and propose an idea about this issue instead of blaming it on the president” I replied

Here’s some ideas for you and Obama: Protect American citizens. Seal the border. Enforce the laws on the books. Start thinking and talking about deportation of ILLEGALS! Try this on for size: 15 million US citizens out of work, and estimated 20 million ILLEGALS working here ILLEGALLY! It only requires a little tiny brain to do the math. 1 hour ago

omar222bravo222 told another poster

Maybe try to give back to the United States by learning how to speak it’s language. This video is bullshit. Just because gangs are Mexican does not mean they are immigrants. You are a disgrace to America. Go read the law for yourself, this law says that if you LOOK like an immigrant aka brown you can be stopped and asked for papers.

I replied

Incorrect. The bill specifically requires that the suspect must be under investigation already for a legal infraction. It also specifically states that officers can be SUED if they stop someone just for looking Hispanic. Google “SB 1070″ and read the law for yourself instead of listening to race-baiting idiots.

Wow look at all the people who have no idea what there talking about. Has not liking Obama become the “cool” thing to do? Most of you say nothing but “socialist” and “he’s ruining America” but give no reasons as to why! Because the news told you or you heard some asshole on the radio said so? Quit being lazy and read into it yourself, you might be surprised at how good he’s doing.

I replied

Reasons: Nationalized banks, health care and auto industry. 1st year spending that equals all previous presidents COMBINED! Tax energy that WE ALL PAY FOR. Demonize business to earn votes from individuals, knowing that individuals like you are too ignorant to realize that they are sucking the economy dry. High unemployment, yet Obama focuses on socialist health care takeover. Anti-white rhetoric inflaming racial tensions across the US. Blaming the US for everything.

dangerouslytalented stuck his 0.2 cents in writing

No banks were nationalised(and one of those bailouts was under BUSH), and only two car companies were (partly) nationalised, and control of those will be relinquished once profitability is once again attained.  And healthcare was not socialised.Few will be covered by a govt plan that were not already covered by medicare. the 1st year spending includes the last three months of the last Bush term, along with the bailouts and Iraq spending that Bush was keeping off the books.
Actually, Obama’s first year included the last three years of the last Bush term (including the Bush bailout, which is being repaid by the banks) and also the military spending in Iraq that was kept off the books, as well as the auto bailouts (which will be repaid once GM and Chrysler are in a condition to be resold).

I replied

Keep buying the bull socialist. I for one prefer smaller government and more opportunity. If you prefer a handout that’s your choice. Bush was too liberal for me and he mistakenly sided with the LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS against the will of 85% of America. Health care has been taken over by the government and will be distributed to everyone by the FEDERAL government. I will pay for others’ health care against my wishes under FEDERAL law. That is socialism.

dangerouslytalented

What did he do against the will of 85% of America?
By whose calculation?
Because he campaigned on healthcare (promising MORE than he actually delivered) and ended up winning by a supermajority in the Senate, and even winning such red states as Virginia and North Carolina.

I replied

85% of Americans were against TARP. Don’t ask me “by whose calculations?” I shouldn’t have to do your homework for you. There is a thing called Google and HUNDREDS of polls and surveys. You said that he won healthcare by a supermajority, while ignoring that this current Congress and Administration are having a real party implementing laws against the will of the majority of AMERICAN CITIZENS! That used to be called tyranny. Watch November 2010 if you don’t get that.

tonymol002 replied

get out of here with that bs the economy has been spiraling out of control for too long to directly blame Obama for any of that. the past 15 years have been a trainwreck yet were gonna blame obama for that? Things have gotten worse yes, but They have been getting worse for a long time. Sorry he can’t magically make everyting better without changing a few things. The only ignorant people are people like you who have blinders on running in a media horse race.

I replied

I did not blame Obama for the last 15; I blamed him for the last year…IN WHICH HE HAS BLOWN OUR DEBT THROUGH THE ROOF! Blinders – Media horse race – ignorant people like me?  F*ck you. I study politics and history few hours per day. We just have differing opinions. I believe in opportunity and you apparently like handouts (Obama’s specialty). Some believe “fairness” is taking and redistributing others’ money, while I believe in fairness is not getting robbed of what little I have EARNED!

tonymol002 replied

first of all not all that debt is obamas look it up. And how the hell do you get out of debt without spending money? Magic? Please what is your plan to boost the economy Mr. I study a few hour every day? WTF have you been studying because anyone with Internet access knows as much as you? Make sure your using a reputable source not fucking wikipedia updates jackass

I replied

I didn’t write “all that debt is obamas” so why do you lie? You don’t get out of debt by taxing citizens, skimming off the top to line the pockets in DC (highest income per capita in the US) and then spending money to restore habitats and fund other pet projects of your contributors. Getting the US out of debt is just like getting yourself out of debt. You must produce and sell more than you consume. US exports exceed US consumption. EVERYTHING must focus on PRIVATE BUSINESS.

dangerouslytalented followed with the usual anti-American, anti-employer stance

How about prosecuting those who are employing these illegals? THEY are the ones who are encouraging them to come to the US, and THEY are the ones who are paying too little for Americans to work those jobs.

I replied

Sure…prosecute ILLEGAL employers AS WELL AS ILLEGALS. I am just so sick of all this “illegal immigrants work the jobs that Americans won’t do” crap, even when Bush was saying it. I always wanted to reach through the TV and slap him. I grew up delivering papers, shining shoes, washing dishes, landscaping, working construction, cleaning pools and…picking grapes in the fields. My kids can’t get these jobs any more because they are all taken by ILLEGALS.

I finally realized that I was wasting time on mental midgets and wrote

Final post: Obama showed horrendous insensitivity to all Americans who have lost family members to ILLEGALS’ violence. Then again, he has a history of demeaning Americans and apologizing to the world for our existence. To all of you people showering Obama with defense and love: Obama is hitting the campaign trail in support of the very liberals who have voted against our wishes. Dust off your knee pads.

I am used to semi-intelligent debate, but I had to share the exchanges above to demonstrate how small some people’s perspectives can be.  It is really quite saddening to realize that these people are allowed to vote without having to take a test first.  Maybe that should be on the conservative platform.  :-/ Some people just continue to believe what they want to believe without engaging their own brain nor logic.

I’m writing in response to your recent decision to remove several students from your high school due to the displaying of an American flag on Cinco de Mayo. The only thing incendiary about this situation are the actions taken by Live Oak High School. There is cultural tolerance – and then there is straight-up lunacy.

What gives you the right to censor the thing that most embodies what American stands for? The one thing that represents the countrymen who fought and died making this nation what it is. That flag represents the freedoms and liberties that Americans enjoy, and without a doubt, those freedoms and liberties are what draws so many people of other nationalities. I would imagine that many of the parents of your students came to America to build a better life for their families. We all deserve the American dream. You won’t find a nation more tolerant of others than America.

Here’s what I would have said to any of your Mexican-American students who may have taken offense to the American flag: You are free to celebrate your culture – to speak your languages, practice your religions, celebrate your holidays. Unfortunately, being Mexican in America doesn’t cancel out being American. You are in America and the American flag has always and should always take precedence over that of any other nation.

To your freshman student, Laura Ponce, who was quoted in the news – Cinco de Mayo is the “only day” we get to celebrate our heritage. Ms. Ponce – the American flag is not a fashion statement. It is not an article of clothing you remove when something else becomes more stylish. The American flag is a constant symbol of the debt of gratitude you owe centuries of Americans who made our way of life possible and at no time should it become secondary to ANYTHING, let alone the holiday of a foreign nation. You enjoy the freedoms and liberties of America and with that comes certain loyalties. That being said, I see no reason why you should not be allowed to celebrate your culture. So, yes, please do enjoy your holiday. But don’t you dare ask me to set my flag aside while you do.

I am an American citizen living in Germany, and at no time would I even CONSIDER asking a German to remove his flag on an American holiday. If your Mexican loyalties overshadow your American loyalties, then perhaps you should consider returning to your native land. My mind is boggled by the way people from all nations believe they are entitled to the freedoms and liberties of being an American without accepting the responsibilities and loyalties that are inherent with that privilege.

On another note, my unit held a Cinco De Mayo celebration. The event included hundreds of people of many nationalities, more than a few of them immigrants. We came together and celebrated a Mexican holiday because many within our ranks hail from Mexico or are of Mexican descent. The Army goes to great lengths to recognize and honor the cultures of all of our Soldiers, but at the end of the day we all wear American flags on our right shoulders. That flag was not replaced with a Mexican flag for Cinco De Mayo. Nor did any of us remove that flag to avoid offending others. In the American military the American flag trumps everything. You live in a nation that my brothers and sisters have fought and died for – under a red, white and blue flag with fifty stars. And on American soil – that flag trumps everything.

I had more than one young guy tell me that Obama bumper stickers and t-shirts might get them laid.  WOW!  Is this what we have come to?  Why is this such a prominent question anyway; “Are ready for a post-racial America?” Is there some reason that our pop-culture and media completely ignore that the US is the “boiling pot” of the world?  Before we go any further in our discussions of American racism, quickly name the famous African-English Parliamentary members, the African-French Military leaders or the African-German Prime Minister.  Are Africa-Swedish RAP artists shaping youth-culture today?  What about African-Russian actors or African-Japanese business leaders and talk-show hosts?  Additionally please name the Caucasian leader of an African nation.  You can’t.  This is because American stands almost alone as a TRUE boiling-pot of all other cultures.  The US welcomes, embraces and integrates all cultures and all colors into one large fabric called the USA.  In fact, US culture is not defined by one race or nationality, but by the conglomeration of all races and nationalities.  While the rest of the world is full of nations with long and proud histories celebrating only their own cultures, American stand alone as the “Shining Beacon On The Hill” in which we publicly proclaim “Give us your tired your poor your huddled masses longing to be free.”  We represent all people of the world.  If you only watch re-runs of Happy Days or Ozzie and Harriet, you might not get this, but if you explore the many diverse regions of America you will get it.

Outside of Africa, it is only in America that people of African descent have excelled to the top of the government, military, entertainment, sports and business.  It is African-Americans who have given the entire world some of the greatest music ever written and not even imagined before they were gifted to us; Jazz, Blues, the moving and timeless classics of Motown, Funk, and now RAP.  In the 1960′s, British Rockers were being moved and motivated by the Blues artists in the US.  Even in Asia today, you will find young Asian kids emulating their favorite RAP artists.  The whole world has embraced the artistic genius that lives in African-Americans.  Why is this?  Why did none of these cultural phenomenon come from Spain, New Zealand or Japan?  Because those countries are not as culturally, politically, spiritually or racially tolerant and even welcoming as the US.  I have had just about enough of all this “post racial America” stuff.  In one country, we are known for the great Italian food in Philadelphia, the Chinese food in San Francisco, Mexican Food in Arizona and Cajun food of the Mississippi Delta.  Who else is so diverse?

What is the core of all this “post racial America” talk?  Slavery.  That’s right, some Americans once held African salves; not all Americans, but some Americans.  Where did American slaves come from?  Do You remember the great US-African war?  Of course not, because Americans did not capture slaves.  Europeans bought African slaves from coastal Africans.  That’s right, Europeans traveled the high seas and conquered everyone they could in every land they could find.  The European Explorers eventually landed in Africa, where slavery had been prevalent for thousands of years.  They traded with coastal Africans, who used their European weapons to conquer inland tribes and they would take their brothers – not as hostages, but worse – as slaves.  When the Europeans came back to trade again, there would be a fresh group of slaves to buy.  Where did slavery start? Answer: Africa.  Where will you still find slavery today? Answer: Africa.  Why is it that most people fail to connect the dots?  Egypt, Nubia, etc.?  They were slave societies long before Europeans arrived.  Long before the new world was discovered slavery existed in Ancient Egypt, China,  Greece, India, the Roman Empire, Assyria and all of what is now the Islamic world.  So why do Americans take the brunt of the blame?  Slavery exists today in 2010 in the Middle East, South Asia and…are you ready for this…Africa.  But to be politically correct, blame America.

What other country nearly destroyed itself over the issue?  For all of our glory and all that we have done for the rest of the world in stopping two world wars, our darkest days were experienced during our own Civil War, in which we all but destroyed ourselves.  Brothers killed their own brothers as we tore ourselves apart at the seams over the issue of slavery, and we ended it.  Many atrocious European, Asian and African traditions have found their way to the US and slavery is one of them.  They brought it here and we ended it.  How many generations were enslaved under the US government?  Well, let’s see…the British, French and Spanish ruled the various parts of America for almost THREE HUNDRED YEARS.  Our Constitution was ratified in 1789 and the Thirteenth Amendment officially prohibiting slavery was adopted in 1865, so that would be…76 years.  Europe, Asia and Africa practiced slavery for thousands of years, yet the USA practiced slavery for 76 years.  Yeah, I can see why we get blamed.  As I mentioned – and I want you to read this slowly and out-loud “slavery exists today in 2010 in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.”

America’s streets are filled with annual street fairs celebrating other cultures and we all go to them and have a great time…together.  Go to San Francisco and celebrate the Italians in North Beach, the Chinese in Chinatown and the Mexicans in the Mission district.  Americans of all colors an background wearing the colors, eating the food, listening to the music and waiving the flags of other countries.  This is part of the greatness of America – not America – but the diverse and interconnected cultures that make up America.

Nothing I write will change the minds of the willfully ignorant.  However, I do believe that the best way to end racism in America is to quit perpetuating the unfounded lie that America is a racist nation.  We are the most diverse nation on Earth.  Accept it.
