Homosexuallity

2010-12-10T18:02:00.000-08:00

It seams our Gay ( hate this perversion of words) & Lesbian Community is still at it! This time with the Military establishment. I wish this group of people would at least admit what their true goal is; To establish a special class of individual, with an additional set of rights exceeding every other citizen in this Country.

Every Homosexual person is given the exact same right as every other Citizen of this Great Country. No More / No Less !!! Every female has the right to mary a male & every male has the right to mary a female Homo-sapien. Their goal to create a different legal class of citizen " The Homosexual Citizen". That being said!!

Why do we not recognize the Amish or Mormons as a special legal class of citizen already? They are certainly outside of mainstream American policy, just as the homosexual community is! The absolute reason is; there is no justification to do so; just as there is no reason to do so with the homosexual community.

It makes no difference whether a homosexual wants to mary a person of the opposite sex or not "THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO!!" just as every other citizen does. That they do not wish to; is a personal decision. Again this is just another attempt to establish special privileged status for a very small segment of our society.

California Politics

2010-10-27T15:32:00.000-07:00

Well It looks like just a few days before Tuesdays elections It appears We will once again re-elect Jerry Brown & Babs Boxer as Governor & Senator. As has been said many times before we get the government we deserve!

California has to be the most Progressive, Liberal & Bankrupt Headed, State in the Union. I say bankrupt because only creative accounting methods have kept the state out of bankruptcy court so far. The day of reckoning will soon be upon us in California.

Our Legislators in Sacramento (the State Capital) are so abysmally dysfunctional; long term nothing else is possible beyond bankruptcy. The tax base is totally overtaxed already. As businesses are driven out of state elsewhere, jobs go, taxes go away ! enviably we shall become wards of the Federal Government.

Elections

2010-10-18T16:18:00.000-07:00

The American Public have a serious problem as I see it.

We have the Washington D.C Elitist generally known as the United States Federal Government & Bureaucrats Vs the rest of us who pay the bills known as taxes.

Whether called a Democrat, Republican or any other Political Party, I'm refering to what in modern times is a Career Politician. These individuals have one purpose only; that is to be reelected to office, while furthering their power, influence, position, at the expense of all other things. Are there a few honest people in D. C. , undoubtedly! The question becomes at what point do they also become corrupted by the system? You can virtually be certain that at some point it happens ! It's absolutely certain by the 3rd or 4th term in office It's happened.

What can be done to correct this problem; several things which will take some diligence by the American Citizens to take corrective actions.

A) Vote Incumbents out of office before they become entrenched, Senator Edward Kennedy comes to mind!

B) Carefully review each Candidates qualifications & Voting Track Record. No Politician can get to the National level with out some record to review. even in private business a track record of their actions is there to see, select wisely.

C) Stay vigilant, corruption creeps slowly, is ever present. My personal preference is to elect fisically conservative Candidates to office. This does not mean necessarily the Republican or Libertarian ; though this is generally true

D) We really need to begin these changes starting this November 2nd..

E) Long term corrections are needed; Limit the term of office throughout Government, change term lengths if appropriate, Change our government doing as they wish instead of what we wish.
The recent bailouts , Auto, Banking, Health Care to name just a few. To borrow from Oboma ; "change we can believe in " "yes we can" return this Government to true reprensation of We The People.

Political parties?

2010-10-13T22:57:00.000-07:00

We here in America actually have only one major political Party, It's known as the Political Elitist who are already elected in the Federal Government & reside in Washington DC. There are two factions in this Party described as Democrats & Republicans. To be fair there are several minor political parties such as the American Independent, the Green Party, the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, to to name the most widely known other political parties. The election process Favors the 1st two Political Factions. All the other Parties are really just window dressing.

When we study how the supposedly Parties of opposition operate, we find that the end result of their actions result in the very same thing, more government control over all Citizens daily activities. Makes no difference Democrat or Republican the end result is the same " All Citizens become more indentured to the federal Government".

We are loosing more freedom, independence & the ability to conduct every day activities without Government interference daily. There is hope in the upcoming November elections that Several outsiders do get elected & will faithfully represent their Constituencies.

Can we as a Nation rein in the Elitist DC crowd , Yes we can! can we do it in total in one election NO! But November is the starting point.

Remember Incumbent is a Dirty word,

Vote the rascals Out, start over with New Members of Congress & only allow them one to two Terms of Office!!
Remember to be a member in the Government , Local, State or Federal is a "Civic Duty" Not a Career Position as defined in the Constitution!!

Tea Party

2010-10-12T14:53:00.000-07:00

Much is being published these days concerning the the Tea Party movement. Most releases treat the movement as a unified cohesive political organization. Nothing could be farther from the truth! This movement is a coalition of various individual interest politically. their are many different Tea party organizations who are collectively attempting to bring about a major change in how our government operates.

One common theme in the various groups is: stop expanding the size & power of the Federal Government. Force the US Government to function within the guide lines of the constitution & Bill of Rights. Local government is best, not Federal Oversight & interference.

Services not specifically defined by the Constitution , such as Electrical distribution, Hi-way Systems and various other Modern Infrastructure Systems which had not been invented when the Constitution was Written, should perhaps be provide by the Federal Government & addressed in the Bill of Rights as a new defined Right.

Poor President Obama

2010-02-22T08:29:00.000-08:00

Poor guy he is incapable of explaining the wonderful Health care package in a way us stupid Citizens can understand & accept. Could it be we believe it is just another example of his Marxist Ideology, which no rational American wants? The health care Package is a dud period.

Hey Obama! A package we just might accept is the same you elitist in Government have! Present a package that includes every Senator, Congressman, All staff members & all Federal workers MUST have also! You might have a chance of getting it through with the American Citizens approval. Please quit sending garbage proposals to us, hoping we might just be stupid enough to accept. Garbage is just garbage "no matter how you sugar coat it".

We are gaining momentun

2010-02-05T17:40:00.000-08:00

Whew where to begin?
Interesting things happening recently in the political world. My congratulations to the Massachusetts Voters by electing Scott Brown to the US Senate, a step in the right direction from a surprising State! Its now up to the rest of the nation to keep up their fine start in replacing the status Quo in DC. As New Jersey & Virgina voted out their incumbent Governors in earlier Elections, the rest of the Nation needs to do likewise in their upcoming elections at the Local, State, & Federal elections. We the average everyday citizens can return America to what She once was & should be again! The Land of the Industrious & Freedom, not the redistribution socialist concepts.

Remember there is no Elitist Ruling Class Government, as long as we supervise and watch our elected representatives closely. We should very carefully limit their term of duty at the ballot box.

Elections & Corruption

2010-01-20T15:53:00.000-08:00

Main Stream Media had a field day recently concerning the corruption within the Haitian government slowing down the earth quake recovery efforts. I don't wish to defend the Haitian Government but; suggest that MSM look a little closer to home when making accusations of corruption.

The recent round of vote buying ( Health Care), the pork loading bills in Congress, if not corruption what would you call it? I personally call it a crime against the Citizens of this great Country.

I certainly hope the Massachusetts election is a wake up call to all members of Congress. You can be voted out! Most should be, & we can start over with a new crew in DC. The message is Listen to us the people who voted you into Office or you won't last. it will take several years to clean house, but; you have to start somewhere.

Hillbilly White Trash: What the GOP needs to do

Hillbilly White Trash: What the GOP needs to do

2010-01-12T11:18:00.000-08:00

I have published before my opinion of both Major Political Parties as self interested power hungry elitist. Today I wish to make some suggestions relative to the status in Washington DC this shall be referenced as "DC" from this point forward.

1) If you are satisfied with the attitudes & direction in DC currently, by all means re-elect the same incumbents 0r change the more conservative members of Congress with more liberal candidates of either Party.

2) If you believe DC is to liberal, not following the constitution, & leading us away from our Free Capitalistic Society towards a Government Controlled Socialistic State; Vote for Conservative Candidates who will . Non Incumbents for the most part!

3) Republicans are touted as being the conservative Party. This is not necessarily true! There are a very few Democrats who are actually more conservative than several fellow Republicans.

4) All elected Officials have a tract record of how they have voted on the issues before them. Review the record & decide if you agree with the way that Official has voted. If the candidate is new to the DC scene, they still have a record on the issues in prior lower offices held at State & Local levels. Their record will tell you generally where they stand!

5)To change DC will require some due diligence on Our part, can we change DC over night, NO! We can start the change in all up-coming elections at the Local City, County, State, & Federal Levels now. One Elected Official at a Time!!

6) At this point Party affiliation is not the major consideration, Conservatism is!! I will suggest that traditionally the Republican has been the more conservative Party but over the last 12 to 15 years this has not been necessarily true. Democrats as a party tend to be more Big Brother, Large Government Philosophically than Republicans However; The Republican lately have been out doing the Democrats.

These are just some of my thoughts from a conservative view point. I love this Country very much & do not wish to become just another Socialist State

Lead or get the heck out of the way

2010-01-11T21:51:00.000-08:00

President Obama is great at throwing any one who shows "Obama His own Self" unfavorably or other wise embarrass him under the bus. The latest example is his attacks upon the various Department heads who screwed up with the underwear bomber on Christmas Day! Every one in the world is to blame other than Obama himself. It's a President Bush's system Failure! Bull Sh**! It's his system,He has OWNED the system for a year. He is The President; all National Systems are His Responsibility by Default. All of the failed Groups report to him, it's time HE Accepts some responsibility for the Protection of the United States of America.

The United States Congress is my 2nd. subject of the evening!

All the elected Representatives in Washington DC are abject failures in their duty to the Citizens of this great Country. I lump the Democrats & Republicans together in this assessment,Both parties have forgotten why they have been elected. Both Parties only care about maintaining Power . Incumbent is a dirty word. Vote the clowns out of office, Democrat or Republican makes no difference..

President Oboma

2010-01-02T10:46:00.001-08:00

Barrack Oboma By any reasonable definition is a Marxist .
I base this not only on his actions as President but upon his Past & Current Adviser's / Mentors He surrounds himself with ; but based on his written words also. If anyone questions his Marxist Psychological Position, Just read His Books, it will eliminate any confusions on your part.
His unstated goal is to destroy all that America Is Now & Convert our society to just another also ran Marxist European Style Nation. In this endeavor I hope & pray he is a complete FAILURE!!!

Blogging in 2010

2010-01-02T10:14:00.000-08:00

I have not been very consistent with my blogging in the past for many reasons, I will list the major ones now @ promise to be more productive in the future.

My wonderful Wife has suffered from some serious medical problems for most of 08 & 09 @ required lots of assistance & attention. She has recovered successfully & is in excellent health now, Thank God.

My Wife @ I got caught up in the Real Estate bubble burst. We purchased our dream home in 2006 with a 5 yr Int only loan. We put over 50% of the purchase price down with the intention of reverse mortgaging the home in 2010. However by the end of 2008 our home was worth less than the mortgage amount, no reverse mortgage possible. So with that being said! Do We continue with the original plan until mid 2010 Praying that house values return or Short Sell the House. We short sold.. We have just entered escrow on a more modest home & take possession on January 15 2010 with NO MORTGAGE!

I will continue Blogging mostly on Politics & the WONDERFULLY ROTTEN JOB THIS PRESIDENT, ALONG WITH CONGRESS ARE DOING!!! I will blog from a Conservative Point of View, at this point there is"NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS in WASHINGTON D.C.".

I Give UP

2009-06-10T21:31:00.000-07:00

The realization that at lest 51% of the American population actually want a Big Brother Nanny State styled Government is overwhelming to me. We are now well on the road to totally Government controlled business, health care, education & virtually all aspects of our daily lives.

I spent much of my time the last few working years in Sweden. The Swede's have a very unique social system present. They experience essentially, Government control of even the simplest endeavors of whether to take the buss or the subway to work. There is really no choice involved, this is actually dictated by some bureaucrat.

Not a life style I look forward to; however I think the time required to accomplish a complete Marxist methodology here will surpass my remaining years, Good Luck America!

Good Week Mr. President

2009-03-06T17:03:00.000-08:00

This week has been amazing for President Obama, every time he spoke on news broadcasts the Stock exchange tumbled. Business really has confidence in his policy's.

There is one spectacular announcement from him concerning the proposed National Health Plan, you can always keep the plan you currently have if you wish. This is probably true, if you still can afford it after paying for the National plan,whether used by you or not. This is what is known as a Lie of Omission any where except in Politics. Welcome to the poor house fellow Americans.

Big Brother

2009-02-28T18:20:00.000-08:00

President Obama's speech to the joint houses of Government should leave no doubt that he is an outright Marxist. Not that there ever was a doubt in my mind after reading his autobiography. To the point of this post; something to think about.

After listening to this speech only one of two conclusions can be reached! He is incredibly stupid, or is an outright liar. I for one have never thought He is stupid, which leaves the remaining conclusion.

President Obama has began restructuring the United States of America into a Marxist style Government. Make no mistake this can not be accomplished in the first couple of years of his administration, but the nucleus has been laid.

It is astoundingly incredible that He can complain about inheriting a one trillion dollar deficit, while at the same time in his first 30 days, in office add an approximate 1&1/2 trillion dollars additional deficit just for starters. Talk about Big Brother!
WOW!

Welcome Brave New World

2009-02-23T21:10:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since my last blog. I have become some what discouraged, disappointed, & disgusted by resent events with the Political directions our Country is taking. We have crossed over to a totally socialized society. It has been demonstrated adequately by the following.

Our Government has just Passed & approved the most non-stimulating stimulus Bill ever. This plan accomplishes one very important objective, a greater dependence by all citizens upon our Government. Make no mistake this is just the beginning!

The Banks are in the process of becoming Nationalized, the Auto Industry is next, followed closely by the Medical industry. Once this is accomplished the economic redistribution controlled by the Government will come to pass.

What we are left with is two class of citizens, The elite Government individuals & us other common citizens. We the average citizen have allowed this to happen, we have no one else to blame.

Sara Palin for 2012

2008-12-14T09:50:00.000-08:00

Good morning everyone; I have just been accepted on "Palin 2012" on Hillbilly White White trash's Blog Roll supporting Sara Palin as President in 2012. Thank You Mr. Calhoun.

Sara Palin was a breath of fresh air during the last Presidential election, She was the only reason I voted Republican this time. There is no way I would have supported John McCain as president without her on the ticket. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and all other so called moderates are exactly what's wrong with the Republican Party today. Their stated political positions place them right on with the Democrat's Party concepts.

I believe Mrs Palin supports what the Republican Philosophy once was; Small Conservative Non-Interfering Government. She supports Individual Achievement & Rewards concepts. She does not support the welfare state we as a Nation have become.

There are Two Major obstacles standing in her way of becoming President in 2012;

1; The RNC do not want her as President, She opposes every thing they represent( Not
the Conservative Principles the Republican Party was founded on). They must
be brought back to the Primary Republican Principles! This Will be an uphill
battle as most of the RNC are Career Politicians interested only in Their Own Best
Interest.

2; Main Stream Media, The Liberal MSN actually prevails in your neighborhood news
paper. My local News paper in the Antelope Valley is actually quite conservative
in local news matters however; State & National news is derived from the
Associated Press News group. This provide an inreresting mix of news to say the
least.
TV outlets are so totally Liberal Biased its not worth watching, unfortunately
this is where most citizens obtain their news information.

In conclusions I support Sara as President in 2012 or any other year for that
matter. we have no more than two years to turn the RNC around or start preparing for 2016 as the year Sara Palin can be President. I fear it will take One more devastating defeat for the RNC to come around, hopefully 2010 Congressional Races will accomplish the task.

Sanity in California

2008-11-06T15:43:00.000-08:00

California's Proposition 8 Defining; in our State Constitution that a marriage is between A Male & Female Human Being Passed on Tuesday. This passage in no way discriminates against homosexual people, as they would like the rest of us to believe. They have had no rights given to others taken away.

Homosexuality is a life style preference, no different than pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, incest, or any other deviant sexual preference. Should we as a State or Nation allow equality and special rights for these preferences too? Should we also be tolerant of these "preferences " and teach children pedophilia is acceptable behavior and they should not fear a pedophile? I do not believe so!

What is being asked by the Homosexual community is for "special privilege" being given which is inappropriate. I have no problem with homosexuality between consenting adults. They can continue this lifestyle by all means; " Its their right" given by the Constitution of The United States of America.

For those who would argue that Homosexuality is not a choice but how they are programed by DNA etc, I can only state the same is true of the other examples given above. All the examples are of Abnormal, Deviant, Species behavior as defined by evolutionary theory just to name one such authority.

Congradulations

2008-11-05T15:54:00.000-08:00

My congratulations to Senator Obama winning the Presidential race. He was very successful with his campaign. I have grave concerns about his political philosophy, but will support his endeavors as president until he attempts to bring about a Marxist democracy He appears to favor.

Every thing at this point, His words; "Spread the wealth around", his association & influence from early in life with Socialist educators & other Marxist leaning individuals leaves no doubt, at least in my mind of his Marxist Ideology!

As President he will have a majority in both houses, who also desire a much larger Government. A government that shall exercise more control of our daily actives much like European Nations currently have. This is apparently what the majority of Americans desire. This is the beginning of the end & demise of our Capitalistic Society, which has been the engine driving our rise to economic greatness & World Leader.

Many of us believe we should be more like our European neighbors, socialistic etc. Europe has had the freedom to behave as they do precisely because The USA has provided protection from their adversaries. When we become, as they are, a new world Leader ( Nation) will fill the vacuum left by us. My best guess is China will become the new Nation leading the rest of the world. We then become on of the followers rather than the Leader. So Be It.

Was I ever wrong!

2008-10-19T11:57:00.000-07:00

On My post on Friday I Indicated No Need to vote for McCain was necessary, what a mistake! I received my sample California ballot yesterday afternoon & Guess what other than the Republican ticket, the only other " conservative?" ticket was the Libertarian ticket. Their are several Liberal Socialistic choices. So much for best laid plans.

So I am some what disgustedly back to voting the Republican ticket; this ticket is a must for any one in California who has any conservative ideals. It should be noted that McCain is only marginally better than Obama. Sara Palin is the only salvation to the Republican Party's ticket this year!

In my opinion the members of Government of this great country are totally corrupt & out of touch with American ideals & concepts as defined by our founding fathers. Congress is filed with Big Government advocates regardless of party affiliation! Gone is the concept of individual service in government as a duty to ones country; it has been replaced by a creature known as a "Professional Career Politician". These people are elitist to the fullest possible extent by necessity. Their survival depends upon us Citizens of this country accepting and believing this.

The most recent example of this Corruption & Incompetence is the Wall Street Bailout. Not that it happened ( it became necessary) but the cavalier manner in which it was conducted! Their are several congressional people who are guilty of malfeasance in office at the least, including one of our presidential candidates. Make no mistake Congress orchestrated in collusion with Wall Street's greed for the Banking & housing markets to collapse. Many wall street executives should be facing prison sentences rather than the gigantic financial rewards they have reaped. I'll make you a bet "IT WON"T HAPPEN".

Debates completed; So What?

2008-10-17T19:41:00.000-07:00

The three debates are finished thank goodness. How anyone would expect deriving any detailed information from them "90 second soundbites" escapes me. People supporting Obama or McCain still are based upon these spectacles. I don't seriously believe any independent or undecided voters were swayed by these debates. You could characterize the performances this way Obama won on style & oratory talent & McCain at least held his own against a handsomer younger charismatic opponent. All this equals zero value.

About the only thing with any certainty to come out between these two candidates is Obama will raise taxes on all wage earners regardless of how highly paid they are. McCain will continue attempting to keep the existing tax rates in place but will fail in the effort.

I have stated in previous post McCain is a moderate Senator at best, on most things he is quite liberal. He does display a conservative nature on
things when it is a budget orientated item. Obama is a large Government Tax & Spend Bureaucrat with the most liberal position in the Senate today. What more do you need to know?

I live in California & am a registered Republican (this party's supposedly Conservative) so they garnered my support on that basis.I do not believe this is true any more. My support waivers; not that I would support the Democrat Party & their philosophy in any manner. Being a California resident allows me freedoms that others in closely contested States just do not have.

California will be a democrat State this year as usual. I can therefore vote for a Candidate from the Libertarian or Constitution Parties. You can argue this is a throw away vote, not so in California; it's going to the Democrats anyway. What this does is send a message to the Republican Party get back to your conservative base, or it's bye bye from me and many others for ever!

Presidential Race

2008-09-07T14:20:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last post. The political conventions are past with some pleasant surprises. Welcome to the Nations Leadership Platform Mrs. Sara Palin. What a breath of fresh air You bring to this Campaign.

Senator Obama & his Democrat minions brought forth not one single new idea to this election process. He proposes only the same Liberal Promise this Party has for the last 60 + years; You are going to pay less in taxes & derive more Government benefits than ever before! He neglects to define How! Where the funds come from other than "We're going to soak it to the rich". He likes to pontificate "Change we can believe in" however; He has yet to define these changes in specific statements of substance beyond the soaring rhetoric of the 18 months of this campaign. It's absolutely obvious to every one that beyond his tremendous oratory excellence, there really is little substance there.

The Republican Party on the other hand has selected Senator John McCain to be their Presidential Candidate. This has been met with much dismay by Conservatives. Many conservatives were not even considering voting for him but going to other conservative Presidential Candidate options. Then a stroke of genius! Sen. McCain selected Sara Palin a relative unknown person as His running mate. Mrs. Palin appears to be conservative, Honest, & not afraid to fight against corruption in government! Most importantly she is a Washington DC outsider. She has not been bought & paid for, as almost all Congressional members are thought to be by anyone not from DC. She is a good conservative counterbalance to Sen. McCain who is perceived to be moderate at best. Sen. McCain has demonstrated a willingness to cross the Political aisle to get congress off the dime to DO SOMETHING at least. He has promise to veto pork laden bills placed before him, I believe he will.

In conclusion; With Sara Palin as John McCain's vice presidential running mate, I will support the Republican ticket. This endorsement makes the assumption that Mrs. Palin is what she appears to be, an honest, fearless, conservative candidate. I also need to state here that; I am first a conservative & a Republican second, as this used to be the Party of conservatism. We have seen what 12 years of Bush 1 & 2 Moderate Republicanism has brought about. It's time to return to conservative Ideals.

Random Thoughts

2008-07-13T13:46:00.000-07:00

Incumbents;
Incumbent is a dirty word. On your voting ballot in November, DO NOT VOTE for ANY CANDIDATE with INCUMBENT ATTACHED to THEIR NAME. It makes no difference the Party affiliation, Republican, Democrat, Independent, or other 3rd. Party. The only way to change the Congress " Elected Members" mind set & total lack of respect for us common citizens, is the fear we just might reject them at the next election! VOTE THEM OUT! If you are happy with a bunch people with a job approval rating around 10% just vote for the incumbents! Question! would your employer keep you, if your effectively rating was this low, I think not. You would be terminated!

Immigration Reform;
There is not much being said about immigration during this election period by the major media or the Candidates themselves. I wounder Why? Do you suppose that both Presidential Candidates favor an Amnesty Plan but do not wish it to become common Knowledge? The News Media should Pursue this information,But; will they? I think Not.

Liberal or Conservative;
Do we have a conservative presidential candidate in 2008? Senator Obama is definitely of the Liberal Persuasion, while Senator pretends to be of the Conservative Cloth. Reviewing Both Senator's records demonstrates Obama is definitely liberal, undoubtedly the most liberal member of the Senate ever. McCain likes to claim a conservative position However; His Senate record does not support this claim, He is slightly moderate at best. So in conclusion we have 2 generally liberal candidates running for President no conservative present.

Founding Fathers;
Our Founding Fathers were a group of brilliant men who devised by far the greatest form of Government ever. They actually envisioned many changes brought about through advanced technology, perhaps not to the extent we have advanced to, but the Constitution & Bill of Rights have withstood these tests of time. What they Did Not Plan or Account for is a new breed of individual called Professional politicians! Modern Politicians are a group unto themselves, whose only objective is to be re-elected to office. There is only token acknowledgment to the constituents who elected them to office in the first place. Again beware of the word incumbent!

Choices, Choices, and More Choices

2008-07-08T14:52:00.000-07:00

We have some choices to make in the 2008 Presidential Race. WE can elect the Democrat candidate Senator Obama, Senator McCain the Republican candidate, or some Third Party Candidate. It would appear that 3rd. Party candidates are long shots at becoming President. This leaves the other two choices, Obama or McCain as the probable victor. The Question remains how are they different or alike?

I think your choice will be pretty much determined by by what & how You view Government in our society. Let's review their records in public service. This should give us some insight into how each would govern.

Senator Obama; if one reviews his limited record as a United Senator, what becomes obvious is, He is the most liberal person there. He consistently supports larger Government, with more government control in all matters, domestic & privet, in simple terms more intrusion in your every day activities. His stated tax policies should frighten all citizens of this country "rich & poor". His record in the Illinois State Government if anything is even further to the left than as a US Senator. Look at his record, is this who you want for President?

Senator McCain; has a more extensive public office record to examine. Sen. McCain prides himself on being called a Maverick Senator. What exactly does that mean to me? It means that his position on many issues were based on stifling Conservative values, as a means of getting even with people who did not support him for president in 2000. It actually goes deeper than that since this behavior started well before 2000. McCain has a mean streak which shows up quite often, especially when he perceives a slight to what he desires. The straight talk express is a laugh, I've been around long enough to remember the Lincon Savings & Loan skulduggery. More reticently his amnesty positions etc. Look at his record then decide is this the person you want for President?

TO come to a conclusion! I Suspect Senator Obama will be our next President. This is not a choice I personally favor, that said I hope all of us look closely at our Congress People during this election period. This Congress has less than a 10% approval rating, "HOW DISMAL", I will expound on some of our choices there in another post.

Border Fencing & Illegal Immigration

2008-04-21T15:20:00.000-07:00

My last post was just for fun; not on important issues facing us in the next several months. Today's post is on an important subject I've not addressed recently. Illegal Immigration!! We as a Nation are again working on the Border Fence between us & Mexico to deter Illegal Migration here. I believe this fence will do little more than employee several hundred workers at present. My reasoning is as follows.

This fence most likely slow down the influx of humanity to this Country somewhat! The fence by it's self will not stop this migration. Why, you might ask? IF for no other reason, We have not stopped why they are migrating here; Employment. The fence only increases the difficulty of coming here. Other measures are required along with the fence to stop it.

As a Nation our Government must enforce our laws especially ones that include Immigration; The Government is not doing the job in this area; they apparently are not concerned by this influx of Illegal Migrants. Some potential steps towards solving this crisis.

First make it economically not cost effective for employers to hire illegal persons; this current is not the case.

Second stop the financial drain on every legal citizen of this country by not allowing the free medical, school, and welfare services available to all who apply. This is costing every legal citizen, Naturalized & Native Born, Billions of dollars every year which could be put to use instead for legitimate social services.

This! bye the way will not require an additional influx of new Laws & Regulations. Will it require revisiting & updating current laws & Reg's, it certainly shall. Our Government isn't going to begin this task without our forcing the issue.

The first step should be accomplished by substantial 1st. time fines, increased with each repeat offense. Repeat offenders should be prison candidates, whether individuals or corporate officers. It shouldn't take long for the jobs these individuals are migrating here for to dry up & be filled by true citizens.

Many readers will think this is harsh, maybe so; but the alternative is National Bankruptcy, which I do believe most would like even less.

Spring Time - Hooray!

2008-04-01T14:17:00.000-07:00

Wow, It's been about two weeks since my last post. It's been quite cold here on the high deserts of California. I haven't had much time for computer things like Blogging, too many honey-do things going on & I'm tired of the FAB Three Presidential Hopefuls Blather. Lina my wife & I are preparing for several trips away from home this spring & summer. Looks like it should be fun.

Trip #1 - A short trip about 3 to 4 Days over to the Ocean somewhere between Ventura and Santa Barbabra, which is about 2 hours away. We will use this trip to remember how to travel in our RV.

Trip #2 - Up to northern California to our Granddaughter's wedding in May. WE will be close to Shasta Lake & plan on spending several Days fishing & relaxing, before we head over to Priest River, Idaho to visit friends & yeah more fishing. From there we will return home through Northern Nevada, visit with a daughter & her family before heading home through Las Vegas.

Trip #3 Yet to be determined! certainly hope it will be fun also, perhaps a group trip with good Friends.

I'm relaxed now this post certainly was easier & more pleasant to post, than the last several post centered around many important things occurring in Our Great Country. My
only conserns at present are centered around weather We as a Nation can begin returning to more conservative positions.

Presidential Choices

2008-03-20T15:49:00.000-07:00

It would appear we are going to elect one of three candidates for President of the United States of America. All three are somewhat alike but uniquely different. Two are democrats, or is this a correct assumption? The following is my assessment.

Senator Obama; He is a Democrat who happens to be black. Over the last several days he has faced a crisis in his candidacy for president, namely the Reverend Jeremiah Wright; his philosophy and comments for the last 20 years or so, and more importantly what's the Reverends influence on Senator Obama. The Senator has slid by during this primary race using very creative & tremendous oratory talent with virtually zero substance being presented. We as a voting public know very little about His philosophy. What change does he envision for America and how does He plan to implement these changes? Remember He has very limited Government experience. We will know shortly whether he becomes the Democrats Nominee for President or not.

Senator Clinton; She is a Democrat who happens to be the only Woman Candidate. We the voting public pretty well know where and what She stands for. I find it very interesting of her claims to vast experience on how to manage the executive office. My wife accompanied me on several business meetings in distant Cities & Countries prior to my Retirement. Can we extrapolate She has great business acumen based on these trips? I think not! Her presence on these trips neither added nor took away from the business at hand. More importantly we have observed first hand Her management acumen during Bill Clinton's first Presidential Term. Do you remember the universal health care package management? I do & I wasn't impressed.

Senator McCain; He is a Republican? Well he has at least won the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States of America. If one reviews the Senators public record, most would question his Republican credentials! He likes to be described as a maverick Politically, which should be examined carefully. What does that label mean to Him? How does he vote on critical issues, Amnesty for example; He co-sponsored the amnesty bill with Sen. Kennedy! Yes! I have heard HIS Recent statements about his past record & recently changed positions; this coming from a Person who wants to be elected as President. I have heard reference to his legendary temper & vindictiveness towards those who have had the audacity to oppose His wishes. That my friends is any one who considers themselves a Conservative. We have also heard claims to His superior military management experience. I gratefully thank Senator McCain for his sacrifices and military service to our Nation & do not wish to denigrate it. However;That being said, was actually as a fighter plane pilot. This does not require any Strategic planing what so ever, so much for being better prepared to be commander in chief.

Of the three Liberal Candidates, there is little to choose from! I am gravely unhappy with all of them. Presumably McCain would be fiscally more conservative than either of the True Democrats Candidates with their Tax & Spend Philosophy. You could hope for better Supreme Court nominees from McCain than either Obama 0r Clinton. As for any of them being better prepared to be Commander in Chief on day one are greatly exaggerated! The choice remains Yours, My only request of you is to vote your intellect & not by the eloquence of the speaker presenting their cause.

Who for President?

2008-02-24T11:57:00.000-08:00

The Republican Party has selected John McCain as their Presidential Candidate, Huckabee's not dropping out of the race at this point is amusing. He can not obtain enough delegates to be nominated. Ron Paul was never a serious candidate to begin with.

The Democrats Still have two potential nominees remaining; Clinton & Obama. I predict Obama will be the winner as the Democrat party's nominee. No matter which candidate is successful; I really do not think either would be a good president if they remain true to the core beliefs they have stated.

Having said the above I think conservatives really have no choice other than John McCain. I'm not impressed by him but; I believe he will be closer to conservative Ideals than either Democrat Presidential Candidate. J. McCain professes belief in the core Republican Platforms. This alone places him ahead of the other two, who claim the socialist position on every issue discussed.

In the end every one needs to vote their conscience, I can only hope it's for conservatism.

I've been convinced; vote for Mitt.

2008-02-04T10:42:00.000-08:00

I have rather conservative views on most things especially; government size, fiscal responsibilities, & a strong belief we Americans need to be more self reliant in all things. That being said several fellow bloggers have convinced me that conservatives need to support some one other than allowing the democrats the 08 presidential election by default.Most convincing have been; Patrick Conlon & Lemuel Calhoon in their post & follow up comments to me.

All though far from perfect if one reviews their overall performances " Mitt Romney & John Mc Cain" Romney is less of a risk based on their records than McCain. My reasoning is as follows.

John McCain has consistantly behaved more in the LiberalDemocrat party mold than any Republican party's conservative position. I will not comment more beyond the Amnesty bill, Finegold McCain bill, the Bush tax cut (He did not support for the wrong reasons). If you need more data look up his record, you might be suprised by what you read.

Mitt Romney is much more liberal in his professed views than I prefer, I think he is somewhat more liberal than President Bush, & I think we all know what a disasterous mixed effort he has put forth. Mitt does have some favorable elements going for him. He has a proven record as a good businessman, He has an acceptable record as governor of Mass. a very liberal state, He does appear soft on most social issues (no body's perfect) but overall better than McCain.

I there for encourage any one reading this post; Vote for Mitt as I have been convinced to.

2008-01-24T21:30:00.000-08:00

Fred has given up & dropped out of the Presidential race. It's a sad day for America. He and Duncan Hunter were the only true conservatives in the race. What to do? I will have a very difficult time supporting any of the remaining candidates. Here are a couple of suggestions ;

1) Support the surviving Republican Presidential candidate in a loosing contest to the eventual democrat party's candidate. There is no way we can or should try to out liberal, the liberal parties policy's.

2) Wright in your own name in as your presidential choice in both the primary & general election. This action will send a clear message to the RNC we are tired of having to support the
"lesser of two evils" type of candidates.

We conservative Republicans need to start a national campaign to use the wright in option for President on our ballots in 08. By using this ballot option it sends a clear message to potential national office seekers; Liberals need not apply because we the Republican Party will not support you. The present administration is a prime example of how liberalisn does not work.

Republican Presidential Candidates

2007-12-31T14:05:00.000-08:00

The 08 presidential Candidate selection process is an interesting group of individuals to say the least . This group can be divided into four major sub groups.
A = RINO'S
B = Isolationist
C = No chance at all
D = Right choice

The group A Candidates; Giuliani, Huckabee. & Romney I have defined as RINO's. All three gentlemen have very liberal records during their terms of public office.

"Mayor G's" record during the Twin Towers Disaster was exemplary however; the balance of his official Government duties have been quite liberal & leave a lot to be desired, specifically Gun Control & Gay Rights positions.

Gov. Huckabee; his tax & spend administrations leave no doubt about his actual position on most issues. He actually is probably politically left of Congressman Obama. Not as HE presents himself! He also apparently believes that all criminals are salvageable & to heck with the safety of law abiding citizens..

Gov Romney; Is today what you want him to be & will Gladly switch his position for YOU tomorrow if required to obtain your vote for president. He is Definitely part of the Republican Elitist Eastern Establishment.

I can not support any of these gentlemen for president.

The Group B Candidate

R. Paul is the only apparent Isolationist in the Candidates. He is to be commend on his views of our current Government size & the domestic direction our Country is headed. His views concerning our place in world affairs just won't work in today's world climate. I agree with him about how our state department conducts business with other countries. We as a Nation Should be leading the world in the direction of free Democratic Republics & stop wasting our resources on Countries such as Germany, France, Italy & to some extent Great Briton as long as these countries are not supporting the US A's best interest. For these reasons I can't support him.

Group C Candidates. All the remaining Candidates other than Mr. Thompson $ Mr. Hunter

The remaining are probably very fine gentlemen with out a chance of attaining the Presidential nomination.

Group D Candidates ; Mr Thompson & perhaps Mr. Hunter.

Mr Hunter First, He has an excellent conservative record in congress, His position on border control is appropriate, he is fiscally responsible & would make an excellent president however; his chances are slim, I hope he will be selected as a Vice Presidential running mate.
Mr. Thompson, Is by & far my choice for the next president of the Unite States of America. He Has demonstrated very level well thought out position on all the major issues facing us as a nation. He has shown a good understanding domestic & international problems facing our nation. He is the only candidate to present in depth detailed plans to address issues such as Social Security, Border & Immigration control. He has also demonstrated He believes that the second amendment means You have the absolute right to own a gun. This right is absolute if for no other reason than the USA is a Republic, with a democratically elected government . the government has no other rights than what We the citizens have vested to them.

Fred for 08

2007-12-27T10:47:00.000-08:00

I have not been a consistent publisher on this blog. My views concerning Illegal Migration & Multilingual positions have not changed, if any thing I have become more convinced they are the path to the demise of the United States of America as we know it.

A new Years resolution is to post at least once a week on subjects of interest to me. Hopefully a dialog with other Blogs can be established. On to the purpose of this blog.

Fred Thompson deserves our support for President. He isn't the darling of main stream media, He provides very few 20 second sound bites, and has shown his disdain for the ridiculous TV Debates. The debate format structure is that of a Three Ring Circus, not much of substance can be accomplished in 90 second blurbs. Of all the Republican candidates, He is the only one who has addressed major issues with a plan to eliminate them. He has remained consistent in his Conservative views with out resorting to isolationist positions as some are. Compare his steady positions to his Massachusetts (all over the place), or the Arkansas (snake oil sales man) opponents; Fred wins hands down. It's going to take a tremendous effort from all us moderate,and conservative Main Stream Americans to defeat the main stream pollsters, media pundits, & the entrenched DC plutocrats.

Fred for 08 is my pitch for this week, I am not very good at this so please bear with me & I will attempt to become A better poster as we go along. GO FRED GO !!!!!!!

Muti-cultural Diversity

2007-07-04T11:58:00.000-07:00

The Multi-diversity advocates actually miss the point of United States of America's immigration purpose, hopes, and long term survival. The purpose of immigrating to this country should be to become one with the rest of this society. This in no way implies a lack of respect for the culture of origin, however; your insistence on multiple languages is a total lack of respect for the USA's customs, culture, and collective well being. It's imperative during emergencies to be able to communicate with each other. Not possible in ten different languages quickly. This group completely overlooks Our Country's position relative to immigration. Immigrating here to become an American citizen and assimilate in Our culture is the purpose.I welcome all legal immigrants to our Country! come and assimilate with us. The USA's official language is English

The immigration effort is not complete

2007-06-28T09:18:00.000-07:00

It appears the amnesty bill # S-1639 has been defeated. We can not rest on our laurels yet! Now is the time for enforcement of our immigration laws. Our Government needs to close our porous borders, stop the continuous migration of people here. We really need to dry up the jobs offered the illegal migrants. We need to place substantial penalties against the employers & officers of these companies, Believed me the chance of being in prison for breaking the law will bring about a change of Their attitude quickly!
We as American Citizens need to keep the pressure on our elected officials to enforce our Immigration Laws, and Change our quotas where required. If we do not keep up the pressure, we return to the status quo which is unacceptable.

It's Still Not Too Late

2007-06-27T18:22:00.000-07:00

The vote on Amnesty is tomorrow ; please contact your Senator by phone, fax, email, etc. I have found email to be the most consistent method of contact. Fax & phone lines become jammed up. Emails seam to go right through & you have delivery conformation afterwards. Keep on sending new emails after conformations are received.

Amnesty! The Congress Disconnect with America!!

2007-06-24T12:54:00.000-07:00

I have sadly come to the conclusion that most of the Senators & House Representatives in Congress are too Ignorant to understand how simple the Immigration problem is! Congress must always create complexity; where none exists to fool their constituents into believing there is vast intelligence present. Our Government actually believes we the American Citizens are the ignorant Ones, perhaps so we keep electing these incompetent individuals to office! All of us have a responsibility to Demand our Senators defeat Bill S-1639! Please; Fax, Call, Write a letter to them, to halt this insanity called Amnesty!!!.

Amnesty by any name.

2007-06-21T14:58:00.000-07:00

The Senate is aggressively working on the next version of an amnesty bill ( S 1639) which the vast majority of American citizens do not want. I typically refer to people here illegally as migrants. to be an immigrant you must be here by invitation. Immigrants have obeyed our laws and applied for permission to enter our Country. DO our immigration laws & quotas need to be reviewed and possibly revised most certainly? What WE DO NOT NEED are a whole new group of laws which will not be enforced any better than the laws already there!! What we need is for our Government to enforce our laws, & control our borders, which they are not DOING!!! Any comprehensive Immigration bill will not accomplish anything beyond Politicians claiming they have done something useful.
What we need is a by the numbers solution
1; Close & Control our borders
2; Eliminate Jobs! if there is no income illegal migrants will not stay & more importantly others will not come here. I have heard & do not believe that lettuce will cost $3.00 a head without the illegal migrants to work the fields. Even if it did IT'S still cheaper than what it cost legal residents to support medical, school, & other hidden cost by these individuals & their families. a big step in stopping jobs follows below!
3; Large fines for companies employing illegal persons for the first offense. 2nd offense Jail time for company officers, want to guess how quickly the jobs disappear !
4; When illegal migrants are apprehended breaking other laws, deport them & if they return to our Country go straight to jail, do not pass go. its unnecessary to round up these people, no income & attrition will solve the problem over time.
This list is by no means complete but is at least a starting point.

Amnesty Bill Failing

2007-06-07T17:47:00.000-07:00

It appears the amnesty giveaway bill is headed for failure. Great ! It's failing for all the wrong reasons, It's tragic that our elected Senators must resort to procedural tricks to stop this worthless bill. A serious problem exist in that this bill will be presented in the future probably with Democrat as president! The citizens of this great nation must stand up in protest to our elected officals in Washington by passing our wishes. with this type of bills.

Hellow, I'm new at this, so bear with me please

2007-02-21T15:29:00.000-08:00

This is my first Blog.
I am generally a moderately conservative person, particularly where the Constitution is concerned. I believe our elected congressional representatives are not doing their job as defined by the Constitution of the United States of America. I also think the current group of Individuals residing in these Hallowed Chambers are weak of Character to say the best of them.

The best this Congress has been able to accomplish is 2 failed attempts to pass a non-binding resolution to end the war in Iraq! The 1st 100hours? of the 110 congress accomplished zilch! thank God for that! WE have far to MUCH Government in our daily lives already.

If this Congress actually believe we should leave Iraq now (if not yesterday) the process is called impeachment of the President; however that action does require accepting the accountability of those actions. No more back door I'm not-responsible best of both sides positions.
