We're Soooo Civilized

NOTICE ****** NOTICE

The following is NOT for the weak of stomach.

Another tragic mass murder of innocent people, unsuspecting men, women, and children, has taken place. Committed by another deranged person, hell bent on committing unspeakable acts of evil. Planned out over time, and committed in just a moment of time. In this case, the suspect was at least captured and arrested, to be held accountable for those acts.

But now, as it is with our system, this person is receiving all the advantages of our criminal justice system, which also includes three meals a day, prepared for any "special needs" he may have (Diabetic, or other), and will be assuring a safe environment in which to eat, sleep, read, watch TV, observe what ever religious practice he can be safely provided, and get in a little jail-yard sun each day of his life. He is PROTECTED from harm, be it from other inmates, himself, or from Officers who would rather choke him to death than hand him a tray of food.

The coming months, or even years, will provide him with free medical, free access to books and magazines, free food, free legal representation, and every opportunity for all the facts to be weighed. IF convicted, and IF sentenced to death, he will get free appellate representation, and that process could drag on for many years. All the while, this POS (Piece Of Shit) will be PROTECTED from harm, as much as a jail or prison can provide.

Our civilized criminal justice system will provide every possible legal review and consideration possible, until his sentence is confirmed, and/or his death penalty is carried out.

Even then, our civilized society will offer its last civilized act with an execution of the death penalty, by injecting drugs into the inmate's body, putting him/her to sleep, not to feeling anything after that. The other chemicals to be injected after the POS is unconscious, bringing him/her to a quiet, peaceful death. Very civilized. Very "just", specially when you consider the following:

In the case of the Aurora Colorado mass murders by a POS, those victims were taken WITHOUT any trial and judgment of their lives, without months or years of warning, without any consideration of their needs, without warning that their life would be taken. In some cases, we can only assume, some of those who were murdered may have had a few moments of knowing the horror of their situation. Others may have perished immediately. The "survivors", will FOREVER know those horrible moments, and there will really never be an end to the sentence handed out by the POS. For them, the victims, it was NEVER civilized.

While I don't like this system, I understand it and mostly accept it. At least up to the point of CONVICTION. From that point on, in such cases at this, I am for dropping ALL civility, and present him forthwith for a quick execution. Furthermore, I would devise a system, by which the convicted POS would be strapped in an electric chair, wired for maximum voltage, and devise a tripping device by which the POS would trip the mechanism him/herself (doing nothing would trip a timer). The voltage would start off slowly, about like a 9v battery tingle, and slowly rise to maximum, all the while, facing a screen with the photos of his/her victims shown. In the end, should the POS's head explode, then a trained clean-up crew could take care of it. In any case, the remains would be cremated, and all ashes buried in a dirt hole at a pauper's grave site (wouldn't want them in the air or water).

Extreme? Maybe, but I don't think so. The horror of THEIR crime, needs to be born in such a POS before their own passing. And the whole world should know of that end. It might not stop others, but it would stop that one! But if the above were to be streamlined, and not the YEARS of worthless appeals for THIS type of case, we could then ... Git'r done.

Disclaimer: THIS case, I expect, should end by leaving NO DOUBT of this POS's guilt. It won't be a matter of ,"beyond a reasonable doubt". With cases in which ALL doubt is gone, then a swift execution should follow. Why the wait! But there are MANY cases (see Dallas County's record!) where conviction was by such shallow evidence, that years later DNA testing has over-turned more than 2 dozen cases! Except in cases where ALL doubt is absent, a thorough review of all cases are warranted before any execution should be carried out, if at all.

I believe in JUSTICE. But JUSTICE for the victims, and society too. As far as I'm concerned, we are FAR too civilized toward those who commit such horrible acts. Ruthless Capital Punishment? Yep ... And Fast Track such POSs!

The 2nd Amendment and YOU - Revisited

From many in today's world, and in particular our country, OUR 2nd amendment is under constant attack. So, I blog about my concerns and beliefs.

Internationally, the U.N. has designs on restricting America's gun ownership, as part of an overall desire to eliminate armed societies. There are those in our country, in THIS administration, who are in favor of such a movement, but know the fight will be hard to get around the 2nd amendment.

In OUR country, there have been a number of anti-gun activists through the years, and in this administration, it is rife with such people, namely the US Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the President himself. In turn, they are supported by various left-wing organizations, and strangely enough, even the ACLU (who usually defends individual rights!). They argue the 2nd amendment is NOT about an "individual" right, but only about a "militia", which would be organized and called out by the government. (The Supreme Court has said it IS about an individual right.)

Many non-gun and gun-owning Americans, fit into four basic positions: 1) Don't own one, and have no opinion on the subject either way; 2) Totally against firearm ownership, and believe only the police and/or military need to posses a firearm [these folks want each of us to depend on 9-1-1 to save us, and are NOT concerned that our government would ever turn on us]; 3) Believe in limited gun ownership [where one can own for protection, but don't think we should have so-called assault weapons]; and 4) those of us, who believe that the bottom line for a strong 2nd amendment, and firearms ownership, to protect ourselves AND our country, IS a right. (I'm in the 4th group by the way.)

I am not speaking as a constitutional scholar, or an expert on the 2nd amendment. I am just an average citizen who reads on the various issues that concern me, and make decisions based on what I read and believe, and not what I'm told to believe (Anyone who knows me personally, can attest to that!).

But to me, one average American citizen (for whom The Constitution and Bill of Rights were written for), firmly believes the 2nd amendment was not about hunting. The 2nd amendment is about the "individual's right to bear arms", because, as George Mason had said....that he believed that governmental tyranny was the primary evil against which the people had to defend ...". Having come from a country and government where the standing armies were used to control its populace, our founders wanted some measure of protection against having our own army turned against us, by some "governmental tyranny".

If a government, insistent of "protecting" it's citizens, decides to disarm them, then what other freedoms will "they" decide is in our so-called best interest? And, if a president decides to subvert the constitutional structure of our nation, and conduct him/herself outside congressional approval, then how far is that from a dictatorship, i.e. tyranny?

If one is to accept that concept, then being able to "bear arms", to own firearms, not only protects one self and their family, but could be called upon to join with one's neighbors for a common defense, and just like the "Minutemen", a citizen would be prepared at any given moment to help defend their community, or even their country. That principle didn't end with the Revolutionary War either.

As far as the so-called "assault weapon" issue, does one think for a moment that if our forefathers had access to a better firearm, they wouldn't buy what ever they could afford? Does anyone really think, that Patrick Henry would have said, "Yes, I know it's a better rifle to fight our well armed enemies with, but I don't think anyone needs to have more than the ol' Brown Bess"?

My point is, that if firearms ARE for self defense, as well as a ready arm for a tyrannical government, then is keeping the citizens held to just a shotgun, and maybe a revolver, really acceptable? In the face of our enemies, foreign and possible domestic, who would CERTAINLY be armed with the latest in firearms, would YOU want to be saddled with such limited arms? If your enemies come to your neighborhood with AK-47s, wouldn't you prefer to have the same, or it's equivalent? And have ready access to it? (Storing them at an armory, which is controlled by the government, IS NOT ready access.)

I want to own what ever I can afford to purchase, maintain, safely store, and learn to shoot well with. Anything less, is a handicap.

Our 2nd Amendment Rights are constantly under attack. Politicians and anti-gun activists every day, are working to limit (and even eliminate) the 2nd Amendment, or at least cause it to not apply to YOU, the Individual. I will not sit quietly by and let that encroach on my freedoms and safety. I blog and write letters to Representatives, to help in my small way to keep MY rights....ALL of my rights! While many don't like my out-spokeness about such issues, I shall not, EVER, remain silent.

By the way, the NRA is the oldest and most organized organization, with 4 million strong members, who constantly watch and fight for our 2nd amendment rights. That's why I belong to the NRA. I ask you to join too.

Lastly, I want to add the following. In light of the terror and death brought upon those in Aurora Colorado, by one deranged person, I will say this -
As a former Law Enforcement Officer of 13+ years "on the street", I will ALWAYS be armed with what ever I think will best suit my needs. The Police, for all their want and try, are RESPONDERS. The call for aid/help, is most always as a result of a criminal act ALREADY committed, and people ALREADY victimized. And friends, EVIL will always exist in the hearts and minds of the few, and no law will change that.

PS. Over 70 MILLION Gun Owners .... Killed NO ONE.

Look at the shiny object ....

My wife and I have two dogs. Both are pretty smart, which is common with Border Collies (ours are mixed). But the younger one seems to have Attention Deficit Disorder. Any shiny object, will quickly distract her from what ever else we are doing. My wife will often say, "There she goes ... she saw a shiny object."

Sadie is a smart dog. She's just easily distracted, often by such simple little things that are completely unrelated to what we (and that includes the other dog) are doing. Hannah will stay focused on what we're doing or where we're walking. Sadie will suddenly dart off and completely be drawn away.

Most citizens are smart people too. Most people can think and make good decisions about their lives and about their communities and country. Most citizens will evaluate a Presidential candidate, and make a rational decision, based upon how they perceive a particular candidate will serve the country.

But some people can be easily distracted, and miss the big picture. A candidate will throw out a shiny object to get the focus away from the bigger picture, because the bigger picture doesn't bode well for them or their record. Romney's "un-required" additional tax records, or his lawfully gained wealth, are just shiny objects. And Obama knows it. Obama is hoping there are enough people who will chase the shiny object, and not focus on the REAL issues.

(Side note: It is MY belief, that Obama is playing the class warfare game, by trying to embarrass Romney about his weath [legally gained] at a time where a LOT of people are struggling. But Obama doesn't want the fact that people are struggling, is because the unemployment rate is STILL over 8%, and even over 12% for minorities!)

The Romney tax return issue, is nothing more than a diversion ... a shiny object. Why do I say that? Because Obama and friends KNOW, that Romney does not have to do anything more than what is required by law. They only want to distract some of their potential voting block from seeing the REAL issues and concerns.

If I were Romney, I'd provide a few more tax returns, just to get them to move off that issue. But then, I would expect Obama and friends to take on another insignificant issue to pick at ... and throw out another shiny object so Romney would have to divert from the important issues, to address the new shiny object. For that reason, I believe Romney has already calculated that, and isn't paying their game.

I know ... ALL politicians play that "bright shiny object" game, when avoiding the really important issues that don't favor them. But WE, "the people", need to stay on point and not get drawn away by the shiny objects. WE need to stay focused on what is REALLY important to our nation.

Anyone who has read my blogs before, knows I am NO fan of Obama. I am a self professed Conservative, and vote Republican most the time (not a straight ticket voter - ever). But I do not see a running candidate who is currently more qualified to get our country moving again, than Mitt Romney. In the BIG picture, I believe Romney has more to offer ALL of us, than Obama has or will.

But I believe Obama and friends are throwing out shiny objects, because his record ... his REAL record ... is a failed one. And to me, I feel his professed goal, to "fundamentally change America", is counter to our constitutional design. Obama has also said that there is more he would like to be able to do, but, "sometimes, the constitution gets in the way". THAT statement .... that mindset ... is so troubling to me, that I fear what damage he could do with four more years. Obama IS a "big government" person. He's not alone either. There has been a growing number of people who think too many Americans can not make good decisions, and only they, "the government", know best what is good for us. They are NOT a "by the people, for the people" kinda of supporter. THEY feel that THEY are special, and THEY know what is best for all of us.

I reject that whole heartedly. Most of us, WILL make good decisions ... IF ... we are provided with FACTS and information. Most of us, will arrive at decisions that are best for the country. We may have slightly different ways to get there, but the end results are more often a common one. Obama seems to think that only HE knows best, and would prefer all of us just watch the shiny object, and not pay attention to what he is doing.

No matter who anyone chooses to vote for, don't get distracted by nonsense. Don't accept that the thrown out piece of fluttering foil, is more important than the real issues. Don't dart after the shiny objects. We all need to stay on point. The REAL issues are far too important to be chasing shiny objects.

"I will not rest until ....."

"I will not rest until anybody who's looking for a job can find one."

And Obama HAS kept that promise. As critical I am of Obama's most every move and comment, I must say that his promise(s) that he would not rest until .... Americans were back to work, or the economy is fixed, or businesses are hiring again, etc., he HAS kept those promises.

However, what the meaning of "rest" is, is much like what the meaning of "is", "is". Obama has not rested, like most of us would have been lead to understand. BO has indeed, been VERY busy, and there seems to be little actual rest.

BO has set a record number of golf outings and fundraisers, and has out-spent every other President .... ever. In the last 6 months, BO has been to about 100 fundraisers. Yet, during that same time, he has not met with his "Jobs Council" (The President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness), even ONCE! As his press secretary said, ".... the president has obviously got a lot on his plate”. HEY! BO! How about putting JOBS on that plate. In fact, make that a PLATTER full!

But just speaking from an average guy on the street, don't tell me you won't rest until you fix something, then take in lots of golf outings, vacations, and attend a record number of fundraisers .... then tell me you have too much on your plate to take care of one of the most important tasks you face! ......... Oh, but he isn't resting, so I guess he IS keeping that promise!

By the way - The black segment of our society, has a higher rate of unemployment than any other segment. And, they also have the highest poverty rate. SO why they still support BO, at an estimated 90%, is absolutely beyond any reasonable explanation, except ONE.

No matter what anyone thinks of Romney, and there ISN'T anything criminal (unlike the admitted past cocaine use by BO) in Mitt's background, BO must GO! Then, in 2016, Romney can go next if he doesn't work FOR all Americans. In fact, ALL elected officials, MUST be held accountable to the tasks and responsibilities they are charged with .... or they can go next.

BO must GO!

What's at stake in 2012

Well, we have just seen the Supreme Court Of The United States uphold the Obamacare law. Although, the court had to correct the Administration's argument in the case, to say it was constitutional as long as it was a "tax", and not a penalty. So more taxes will be coming. By the way. Who is most likely to not be able to afford the rising cost of health insurance? The rich can afford what they need. The very poor has it given to them by the government. So I guess those in the middle will get the squeeze again! Pay the tax, or go to jail.

Even though the majority of Americans are not in favor of the law, as written, we had it shoved down our throats anyway. While I can not imagine anyone not thinking reforms were needed, THIS monstrosity was NOT what we needed, and according to the top ten polls at the time, NO majority supported it.

So, SCOTUS stamped it's legal approval on it, and we are stuck with things we don't even know about yet. And like Nancy Pelosi said, we'll find out what's in it....after its passed. Funny, the costly impact really won't even be felt until 2014...AFTER the elections! (That's NO coincidence!)

The US government (OUR government) is suing Arizona (one of OUR 50 states), for Arizona's laws to stifle the influx of illegal (that's IL-LEGAL) immigration, which brings not just those looking for work,  but those who run drugs, guns, people, and ... perhaps even terrorists. The US government WILL NOT secure the border, and the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California borders are full of holes for the illegals to cross over. Oh ... wait ... I forgot, California is a sanctuary state, so they don't count. They just exacerbate  the problem!

The US is also filing suit against the State of Texas. Seems they don't like the Texas voter registration laws. I guess the Obama koolaid drinkers think it will keep some voters away. Voter intimidation, is what they call it. I guess as the nation watched news feeds of The New Black Panthers, standing in front of a polling location, dressed in black, holding billy clubs, US Attorney General Holder didn't think THAT qualify as "voter intimidation", and refused to prosecute THEM! (I'd bet a month's pay, those who say people [who are those people?] couldn't obtain an ID, could sure as hell come up with one for the food stamp line, or for filing for free housing, or other benefits!)

Obama wants additional "stimu-less" money. I guess the trillion plus wasn't enough to get the results he thought he'd get. More money has to come from somewhere .... that means us. You and me, who PAY the taxes. The government, Obama doesn't seem smart enough to know, HAS NO MONEY. Any money that comes through the government hands, comes from TAXPAYERS!

This Democratic lead Congress (pre-2010) even invited Mexico's President Calderon, to speak in front of that house ... OUR house, and lecture US and Arizona about attempts to pass strict laws on (IL-LEGAL) immigration. A MEXICO PRESIDENT, in OUR HOUSE, permitted .... no - INVITED .... to lecture us!

Let's not forget the Obama "apology tours". And the statement that America is not a Christian nation. Or that NASA needed to be more inclusive of Muslims. And the friendship with Bill Ayers ... the self professed bomber of government buildings in the 60's (The Weather Underground).

And still today, more than 18 months after the death of one of our Border Patrol Agents, Brian Terry, who was killed by Mexican gun/drug runners ... 50 miles north of Mexico in Arizona ... our government is hiding pertinent facts of the case from a Congressional Oversight Committee. By the way, that is OUR "Oversight" Committee....the part where, "We, the people" can have oversight into what our government is doing! And, President Obama, in a move to protect US AG Holder, has cloaked him under the umbrella of "Executive Privilege".

Add to this, Obama was never fully vetted for the job, and most people didn't know (or want to know) about his total lack of experience for such an important position. His whole record, leading up to Nov. 2009, was sham. I guess far too many were of the Pelosi mind ... We had to elect him, before we could really know him.

Obama has openly approved "same sex" marriage. Has removed "Don't ask, Don't tell", from our military. And from that lead, just recently, the Air Force had a "Gay Pride" recognition week. (When is the "Hetrosexual Pride Week?)

There are possibly two Supreme Court Justices who could retire from the bench in the coming few years. The next President may likely be appointing "like minded" judges to fill those seats.

And, while most will never say or admit this ... Had Obama not been (half) Black, he would have NEVER been elected. Never! Any person, man or woman, of any other race, would NEVER have been elected with such thin experience. With almost no history on him exposed, no college transcripts, no copies of his college writings. All that, has been kept from the voters. Why? Ain't he proud of who is was and where he'd been? Or does he NOT want us to know. I don't think he wants us to know the REAL Barry Sorento.

Before anyone shouts me down for being a racist, my opinion has NOTHING to do with race, except for those who voted for him ONLY because he is (half) Black. That is the TRUTH! I could not care less, about his race. I DO CARE about the person. And Obama is the wrong person for this job.
PERIOD. (Until he dropped out, Herman Cain was my guy to vote for.)

So. What is at stake in Nov. 2012? EVERYTHING! America ... is at stake. The future of America is at stake, and Obama, and all the cronies like him, need to go. Oh, and let's not forget those on the other side, who helped enable the obscene bargaining away of our liberties, in exchange for favors, pork projects, and increased taxes for a fatter federal government.

America, needs to take back ... America. And Nov. 2012 is when we need to start doing just that. Or it'll be too late to ever get her back.

Investigating Fast & Furious

(Note: Excuse my rush on this. I went back and corrected many errors in grammar. I am NOT an English major!)

The on-going (18 months and counting?) investigation into the Fast & Furious debacle, stinks to high heaven. The Dems claim its a Republican witch hunt, and the Republicans claim its about the truth. The Home Committee on Oversight, is lead by Chairman, Congressman Issa, and is attempting to find out what happened, who was involved, when they knew about it, and who should be held responsible if wrong doing is found.

While there "may" be some political interest involved, the FACT is, over 2,000 guns, illegally purchased and transferred under OUR government agents' direction in that operation, are unaccounted for. And, at least one or two or those guns were used in the killing of one of our Border Patrol Agents, Brian Terry (in 12/10/2010), outside Rio Rico, Arizona. That area of Arizona was not at the border, although that doesn't really matter, but was more than 40 miles INSIDE the US border. Reportedly, Terry was shot by drug runners, using an AK-47 rifle. That rifle has been tied to the guns PERMITTED to go to drug runners. (READ - "Provided"by OUR own government.)

Add to that, there are untold numbers of Mexican people who have been targeted for violence, with some of those very weapons permitted to "walk" (without tracking!).

There are a number of issues involved in this web of deceit surrounding Fast & Furious. And I'll try to address those that I feel can be agreed with by most reasonable and objective people.

1. The "AK-47", IF that was what the weapon actually is (this is important to understand), is on the face of it, an ILLEGAL firearm to buy by the average lawful citizen. Only a specially licensed and regulated citizen, can have a Class III license to buy such a weapon. An AK-47 is a fully automatic rifle! Possession by any unlicensed US citizen, is a FEDERAL FELONY. (Good questions for any Oversight committee.)

2. The gun walking program, failed in every way we know of, and the guns were NOT tracked. Not tracking the guns, to the suspected drug runners, makes NO sense to me at all. What was the expected goal of that flawed program? Not tracking them, makes me wonder if they only expected to match guns at crime scenes ... AFTER shootings (with victims) had taken place. (Good question for any Oversight committee.)

3. Do we, and particularly the Terry family, deserve to know who was involved, from government officials to gun dealers and straw purchasers? (Yes. And more good questions for any Oversight committee.)

4. In ANY investigation, ANY potential person who may be involved, should ALWAYS be treated with a certain level of suspicion. If any person is involved, criminally and/or civilly, where possible charges could be brought, it should be expected that they will attempt to cover up their involvement.

Therefore, such investigation, and legal inquiries, MUST be prepared to dig deeper than the person questioned is offering as information and evidence. (As an good Oversight committee do.)

5. When ANY person of interest, or suspect, provides information and/or evidence, ANY good investigator should suspect more could be hidden. MOST cooperating persons of interest, who DO have something to hide, will very often "appear" to be cooperating, while concealing the most damning of information and/or evidence.

THIS is why Issa and the committee are trying to get ALL relevant information. And except for absolutely critical investigative information, shouldn't OUR representatives on such a "oversight" committee, get everything relevant? And IF that is not forthcoming, then shouldn't they go for a subpoena? And if the subpoena is NOT being followed, an investigative entity go one to the next step to obtain such information? (Yes!)

In this case of US Attorney General Holder, claiming he HAS cooperated by turning over some 7,500 pages, of more than 80,000 yet to be reviewed, IS NOT cooperating. If a suspect hands over 99 of 100 pages of communication, and says he/she is fully cooperating, then how would an investigator know if page 100 didn't have the page that said, "I DID IT!"?

Withholding ANY requested information in an investigation, should absolutely suggest a cover up of involvement of active participation in the situation being investigated! DUH!!!! (Any good Oversight committee, would be cautious, and suspicious, of such efforts.)

6. For this President, to "protect" his AG with a Executive Privilege in the 11th hour, now adds to the suspicion. The President has done more harm than good here. And THAT too, is a mis-justice to the Terry family, the whole Law Enforcement community, and to ALL of us who should expect ACCOUNTABILITY! (Any good Oversight committee, should DEMAND compliance!)

Politics? No. Not on Issa's side. Politics ARE being played from the Obama side. Why hide facts otherwise?

Oh, by the way, the US Justice Department, under Holder, has refused to charge Holder with contempt. They also refused to prosecute The New Black Panthers for "voter intimidation", when the whole world saw them on video attempt just that!

ANY fool, specially if anyone is Law Enforcement or Military, who would still vote for those in the Obama camp, should line up for their Jim Jones kool-aide!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT like Obama, and in fact feel he is destroying "the foundation" of our great country. But the facts described above, should apply to ANY investigation.

Attention ILLEGAL Immigrants

Attention ILLEGAL Immigrants - What the hell are you doing here?????

Special attention to those from Mexico and other Central/South American countries (those account for the vast majority of those here ILLEGALLY).
I recently watched a travel show on Public Broadcasting TV. OH MY GOSH!!! What beautiful beaches, ocean adventures, and natural wonders there are in Mexico! I imagine the same in other countries to our south.

Scuba diving ... Sailing ... Hiking ... Sight-seeing ... the food venues ... the History ... the Arts ... the sporting venues ... did I say the BEACHES!!!! Mexico is a beautiful country with so much to offer. If it just weren't for the drug cartels, the government corruption, and the crime. Right?

To the 12 + million ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants living in the US ----- What the hell are you doing here? Why the hell have you abandoned (yes, YOU abandoned your own country) your own country, that could have so much to offer? Where is YOUR loyalty to your Mexico? Many of you protest us, our laws, and fly the Mexican flag while doing so. GO HOME --- and clean up YOUR country. Get involved in a revolution for freedom and honest government. Get involved in cleaning up YOUR country. You want to protest bad government? GO HOME and do that! They NEED you there to do that.

You want to come here to be free and be prosperous? GO HOME. Do you have any idea what a travel and vacation spot ... with HUGH tourism dollars ... could be in Mexico? There could so much to offer there. With exception to select areas, most people are afraid to even go there because of the crime and the killings down there. I know for many ILLEGALS, they have left there for that same reason. But GO HOME. Clean up YOUR country. Make YOUR country, the destination place it should be. What could 12 + million freedom loving Mexicans do, if they returned home to take THEIR own country back?

But if you have NO loyalty or courage to do that, to go back to FIX YOUR COUNTRY, then stop flying the Mexican flag in OUR country! When you fly that flag here, then I don't imagine you to have any loyalty here either, so you're in a pickle. But don't fly the Mexican flag here. It should be an insult to your countrymen who have stayed in your homeland and are trying to do what they can there. You RAN away. You want your identity, but YOU ran from it, instead of staying the change it.

And add this in buster - I WILL NEVER respect you or your position, and NEVER accept you here, when your allegiance is STILL to Mexico and you fly that flag.

Seriously ... What the hell are you doing here? To be proud of your Mexico, is to go back and FIX IT! Then invite the world to visit, vacation, see what you have to offer, and live free and prosper in YOUR homeland. Then, I'd call you neighbor, and spend some of my money enjoying the natural beauty and history of Mexico, as a legal tourist!

(Have you SEEN what Mexico could have to offer!!!!!)

Should any ILLEGAL (that word has meaning!) who is here, I KNOW we need to make some positive changes and reforms to our immigration system. We DO need to work on that. But that does NOT mean we can permit the wholesale selling out of our current laws. If you want to live here, to be free here, to become a citizen here, then do so LEGALLY.

Just the other day, I met a young man who was a Customer Service rep for a bank. He was from Iran. He, his sister and parents, came here 6 years ago. They came here LEGALLY. And just this past year, they all became American citizens! How awesome is that!! They did it LEGALLY, and so can (and do) others.

I don't blame ANYONE for wanting to come here, to make a better life for themselves and their families. I get that. I would too if I were in many other countries. But do it legally!

And now, this dumb-ass President of ours, has openly stated that he has issued a Presidential order that certain ILLEGALS will not be prosecuted. IGNORE the law of the land, and pretty much issued an amnesty for a select group of ILLEGALS.

Does THAT encourage following the law? Or does it encourage more ILLEGALS to see if they too can get around a system, that the new American Citizen, from Iran, has followed? Dang Dude! YOU (President O), have shot us in the foot! FIX the broken system. Don't say it's okay to break our laws!

I bet I could come up with a better plan than this Dumb Ass has presented! And one that would give hope to those who want to become citizens, while working our way out of the ILLEGAL Immigration problem.

Meanwhile - If someone is here ILLEGALLY, they need to go home. Use the same system to come here, as many many other "visitors" do, as well as those wishing to become citizens. If a family from Iran can do it, so can those from south of our borders!

Oh ... To Mexican President Calderon ..... Kiss My Ass! You have NO SAY on our laws. YOU are as big of a problem as anyone else, by encouraging dumb ass things like BO has done. That DOES NOT fix the problem. Besides, FIX your problems, and maybe YOUR people would want to remain in Mexico. Clean up your own shitty house! You DO NOT inspire Mexican National pride, by condoning ILLEGAL entry into the USA!

ONE example of an Obamaite

Through a link I ran onto, I happened to read a guy's blog, which is titled in a way to know is was a confirmed Obama follower, and supposedly one of the "99%". On that site, he was profoundly against Tea Party types, even derogitory.

So, I took exeption to his evaluation of people like me, and dropped this response, "Totally stupid. You speak as though you know people like myself. And you don't. Tea Party supporters like me, aboslutely couldn't care less about BO's color, or anyones race. And because I want immigration laws enforced, does not mean I am against immigrants. Those two things alone, are enough to discount any other argument you might have, because your foundation is completely flawed."

His retort, was this, "Go fuck yourself, I have absofuckinlutely no respect for any muthafuckin teatarded ass scum fucks such as yourself. Don't return or you will make me angry."

Sadly, this guy waves the American Flag on his site. Yep, THAT was the extent of my response to his blog post on the TeaParty. The guy was making all the appearances of trying to be so educated, so "American", so supportive of all things Obama, yet he uses the word "Niggah", and justifies it, and then instead of debate, his reply was enough to discount anything he says. Is THIS common of BO supporters?

Hey pardner! Do you need a refill of that Obamajuice?

The Fallacy of Compromise

In today's political climate, one thing seems to be causing gridlock, preventing some actions to move forward. The lack of compromise, is seen more and more often. In some ways, I see this as two sides, remaining stubborn to hang on to political power for their sides. Compromise, may be seen as a weakness to stand ones political ground, or as a political weapon to make the other side look bad.

Our political system can only work when a consensus is achieved to get the nations business done. But, that also requires that both sides are trying to achieve the same general goal, but differing ways to get there.

But there may be a hitch in this, and I feel it applies in DC today - The Constitution.

IF, and argue as you choose on this, there is a choice on the floor between the Constitutional and some Socialist type proposal. A "compromise", would suggest those supporting the Constitution, should give in a little to some socialist (or UN-constitutional) ideas. ..... I will tell you here and now, I would NEVER "compromise" when it comes to our Constitution. To do so, in favor of what I would feel as a creeping in of some other form of government or governing, would not be on the table for negotiation. NEVER.

IF, and it is yet to be decided, the healthcare reform act IS found to be un-constitutional, and assuming many on the right always felt it was, then an unwavering position to oppose the only bill offered up, would likely be seen by the right as the right thing to do. In an "all or nothing" proposal that is believed to be constitutionally wrong, no one should go along with it just to show they can get along and be "compromising".

While all this can be argued as to what is steadfastly "constitutional" or not, there is another way I look at the sometimes problem with "compromise".

IF you went to the doctor for an localized infected ingrown toenail, and the doctor told you that you would have to have your leg removed, would you be willing to "compromise" by only having just your foot removed? Wouldn't you object to such an extreme measure, and ask the doctor why the he/she couldn't just fix the toe? But the doctor insists the measures offered were the only ones he/she was willing to do. You protest that evaluation and protest firmly against those two options. The doctor then tells your family that you are being impossible, because you won't compromise. Then even your family begins to think you are being a bit unreasonable.

A "compromise", between two bad choices without consideration of a third option, is NOT a valid compromise. And THAT is where I stand, as well as others, like Tea Party supporters, and will NOT compromise on issues I see as "constitutionally" wrong. If that is being a "right wing extremist", then sign me up!

What JOB is beneath YOU?

The economy, and especially JOBS, are of top concern these days. While many elements are involved in the economic problems of today, JOBS surely must be the biggest one. If people had jobs, they could provide for themselves and their families, "buy" things (feeding into the economy), and pay taxes into the system. Only good comes from more jobs for more people.

But recently, and with the months long protests by the Occupy Wall Street types, the focus seems (to me anyway) to be protesting "the rich", and not on "JOBS". If these people had JOBS, then wouldn't they be better off, and in a better position to advance themselves to greater success? Aren't most all those OWS types, UN-employed? (pssssss ... OWS, you might want to know, that of that "1%" you protest, only about 18% of those are in Wall Street!)

But here is MY beef with many of those I have seen on the pages of printed (and Internet) news, and on the TV - What have THEY done to position themselves for a JOB? What JOBS have they passed up, because they didn't like the work, or it didn't pay what they wanted, or what ever? This made me think, and I'll ask this -

What JOB is/was beneath YOU?

  Flipping burgers?
  Stocking shelves?
  Throwing papers?
  Mowing lawns?
  Cleaning tables?
  Mopping floors?
  Cleaning toilets?
  Delivering goods?
  Pumping gas (Okay, that is sooooo pre-70's, when there were no self-service gas stations!)
  Carry out groceries?
  Digging trenches?
  Cashier at a grocery store?
  Baby sitting?

I recently have seen interviews with a few OWS types, and they complained that they couldn't get a JOB, but some of them qualified that by saying they wouldn't take "menial" JOBS. WHAT????? Who the HELL do they think does those jobs? Career "toilet cleaners"? And do they NOT appreciate ALL those folks who do those JOBS? (I do .... and THANKS for the they you do!)

How many successful people start out in one of those "menial" JOBS, then move up because they did the things needed to get ahead? Every one of those JOBS I listed, I have done. EVERY ONE OF THEM! None of them, were beneath me. But not satisfied with those JOBS, I used them to help pay my way while working toward better opportunities. It seems to me, that the types we see at the OWS protests, want it handed to them, without working for it...and in some cases, absolutely sabotaging there own changes for a better JOB, with their own actions! (Seen crapping on a Police car isn't a career path!)

Let me give an example or two -

In a recent TV interview with a OWS protester, he was offered a JOB. But refused it, because he wouldn't take a JOB for under $80,000-100,000 a year! WHAT???

In another interview I read, a protester said he wouldn't take a JOB that didn't pay a decent "living wage", and clarified that meant at least $18-$20 per hour. WHAT????? (Perhaps not getting a 4.0 GPA in school also isn't fair, giving 4.0 students an UN-fair advantage, so everyone should have no lower than a 3.0 GPA!)

Many years ago, I arrested a thief on a warrant. While I was writing up the report, with him in the back seat of my patrol car, I asked him if he was tired getting arrested, and why didn't he just get a JOB! He said there weren't any "good" jobs. I called "Bull-shit!" on that, and that there were JOBS listed in the paper all the time. He said ... "But I won't flip no burgers. If they'd make me a supervisor, then I'd take that.......yadda yadda yadda...." Off to Jail you dumb-ass!!!!! (This was many years ago, but I expect he's still in and out of jail!)

One more - I went through a drive-thru chicken place (love me some extra crispy!), and when I got to the window, I was greeted by a guy with tattoos all over his neck and arms and hands, as well as metal in his lip, ears and nose. Never mind the general appearance turned me off, I was concerned about "food handling". Now, I understand that even a "clean looking" person can be dirty, but if I get an uneasy feeling from the get-go??? I was concerned about his tattoos and body piercings and what possible infection he could have. I AM the consumer, and I have the right to make such evaluations as I see fit, and if I were hiring, I'd never hire that guy. For those who might defend that kid, let me add this ... If he and another "clean cut" person were being considered for a job, specially of that job was dealing face-to-face with customers, and all other things being equal, I'll go with the clean cut applicant every time! (BTW - I NEVER went back to that place again.)

Some time ago, I had a program I presented to senior classes. I was a Police Detective and Narcotics Officer at the time, and was directing most of my presentation on the illegal drug use issues. But in the end, my message to the students was this: "What are YOU doing today, that will close doors to success later in life?" (I called my program, "Doors".)

THAT would be my message to students today, and those OWS types as well. It actually applies to all of us, but the earlier that message is understood, the greater the chance of personal success in the future.

I heard a saying once, "You do what you HAVE to do today, until you can do what you WANT to do tomorrow." But that seems lost of far too many people today.

Anything the OWS types had to say, is LOST on my ears, because they CHOOSE their own problems by NOT doing anything to better their position in life. They seem to want it given to them. But then, that isn't a problem for just the OWS types, I see that everywhere these days. Far too many people want everything GIVEN to them (even expect it), without earning them. And THAT is one of my biggest problems with liberals in general, and Obama in particular, and that they are willing to GIVE people stuff/money, without the people earning their own way. (Never mind that what the Obamaites give away, comes from those of us who HAVE been willing to take so-called "menial" JOBS!)

Oh, and connected to that, is the so-called "living wage". While a minimum wage might be arguable, there are those who want to guarantee every worker $20 an hour. (Who pays for that by the way?) No hard work to get ahead, just hand it to them for being ... there! (BTW - My last "Investigator" JOB didn't quite pay $20 an hour!)

So, I ask, what JOB is (were) beneath YOU? (Specially if you were very hungry!)
