Gloom and Doom...???

I usually don’t pay attention to msn.com news because it’s all under a liberal bias. The only reason I go to their site is because it’s easier to check the stock market on their homepage, and you don’t have to click a link to see them. However, I did notice something that really kind of got on my nerves. Keep in mind that things aren’t nearly as bad as the media would love for you to believe. They’re feeding this recession and making it much worse than it really is.

Well here goes. The name of a headline on msn.com read “Even those with jobs are cutting back”. That phrase alone seems to indicate that most of American’s don’t have jobs, which is absurd. Yes, many Americans are hurting, and yes many have lost their jobs in the last couple of months. The news media wants you to believe that we’re not in a recession, but a depression, which is simply not true. I’ll be the first to admit that the economy is hurting right now, but it could be worse. In a depression, employment is 25%, right now, it’s at 6.7%. There’s a huge difference between those two numbers. One in four Americans were out of a job in the great depression. Right now not even seven out of every 100 are out of a job, so things could be a lot worse.

The big three are getting at least some of the funds that they need to fix their problems. I’m not sure how this is going to work, but a complete reform and restructuring are needed for each of these three companies. Personally, I think the CEOs who got them into this mess to begin with should be fired. As I have written before, they didn’t market their vehicles properly. They didn’t make enough fuel efficient cars to begin with, and then they continued to mass produce trucks and SUVs that weren’t selling! If I’m working at a company I want a leader and a boss who has more intelligence than that! Another huge reason for the problem they’re in is the labor union. Many of the people in big three are making $70-$80 an hour, and the companies therefore have to raise the prices of their products! Now I’m not against by any means telling someone how much they could pay their employees. I have nothing against the fact that these CEOs are rich, I just have a problem with their lack of common sense. If you want to pay that much to your workers, that’s fine with me, I couldn’t care less, but don’t expect me to pay for it when I’m shopping for a car. As a libertarian, I understand that the majority of the rich in this country got where they are through their hard work, and I respect them for it. And if these companies want to pay extremely high wages, who am I to say that they shouldn’t? Look where it got them though.

So now that the big three are going to have a chance to change their business model, and if the government does what they intended to do with the $700 billion, maybe we will soon see a turnaround. Don’t expect to hear that on the news though. The MSNBCs, CNBCs, CNNs and the local news stations want you to be terrified and part of it is so that they can blame the failing economy on George Bush. The truth is that a failing economy occurs when people don’t spend money. The definition of a recession is 6 months when retail reports a loss instead of a gain. When people hear the word recession, they panic and don’t spend money, which causes recessions, and can extend them and make them worse! My advice to the majority of people who aren’t directly affected by the recession is to do what you normally would do and live the way you usually live! Actually, spend more money than usual because businesses are hurting now and have lowered their prices! If you are looking to buy a car, house, or other expensive item of some type, and you have good credit, there has never been a better time to buy! Not only do you get a good deal on whatever it is that you want, you also do your part to improve the economy!

I listen to talk radio everyday to get the news, and on many shows have heard experts talking about the economy. When asked if they think that the U.S will soon see another great depression, an overwhelming majority of them say absolutely not. That leads me to believe that the media is very selective on what they report. Think about this for a second. When was the last time you really heard any good news in the media? I’m not talking about the tabloids because Britney Spears’ eighth wedding ceremony is not real news. I’m talking about any news station that actually reports any good news. Granted, FOX does better than anybody, but other than them I can’t think of any off the top of my head. Think about the previews that you always see for the local news. “What are your kids really learning in public schools? Tune in at News 14 at 11:00 to find out!” Their defense would be that they were trying to inform and warn you about things. The truth is though that they’re actually trying to make you afraid. Good news doesn’t sell; bad news that is “informative” does.

An event that occurred yesterday in San Diego California is proof of the media’s negativity. A military jet crashed in a neighborhood in San Diego, and destroyed four homes, and killed 3 people, and one is still missing. Of course it’s sad that 3, maybe 4, people lost their lives, but think about how much worse it could’ve been! What if that had happened in the evening when everyone was home, then we could have 15-20 people who were killed. The media probably isn’t picking up on that. Of course we mourn and pray for the people who were affected by it and who lost their lives and their homes. But the fact is that it could have been much worse than it really was, and we should be thankful that it wasn’t! Everyone thinks that the world is getting worse and worse, and in many ways it is. However, we have more avenues to get the news, such as the internet and more news channels, and as I have pointed out, they only report the bad news. So maybe things aren’t as bad as we think, maybe we’re just hearing that it is from the growing media outlets. Maybe we shouldn’t listen to all the gloom and doom that we’re led to believe we’re dealing with.

Ignorance is Ignorance, Not Bliss!!

Why do you believe what you believe? If you are a conservative, why is that? If you are a liberal, give me a reason. If you voted for McCain, what reasons do you have? If you voted for Obama, what was your motivation? If you go to church, what is it that makes you believe what is being taught there? Don’t go away; allow me to explain why I’m asking these questions.

Many people in this nation only believe the things that they have been taught to believe, whether it relates to politics, religion, among many other subjects. For most people, their parents are the ones that have taught them to have these beliefs. I have had many friends who I disagree with on many different subjects. I’m perfectly fine with disagreeing with someone if their defense for those beliefs is something more convincing than “my mom and dad told me so”. Don’t get me wrong, because I understand someone wanting to trust their parents. If you can’t trust your parents, who can you trust? The point is though, that no parent has ever been right about everything, and our youth need to be encouraged to find out things for themselves.

Personally, I have a lot of disagreements with a lot of people in my life when it relates to religion, politics and other issues, and that’s okay. I was raised to believe certain things that, after I looked at them for myself, I found that I strongly disagree with. It doesn’t mean I respect these people any less than I ever have, it simply means that I have a differing opinion on certain issues than they do, and there is nothing wrong with that. My best friend and I have a lot of opposing views, but he’s still my best friend.

In my profile on this blog, I mentioned that I am annoyed by blatant and outspoken ignorance as it insults this nation and its founders. What that means is that I’m annoyed when people talk about things that they really know nothing about. I’ll use George Bush as an example, because he is the most disrespected president in recent history. Many people think that gas prices were so high because Bush at one time partially owned an oil company. So a partial owner of one company can set the price of a product that is sold by hundreds of other companies? Man I need to go buy stock in Wal-Mart so I can set the price of a Playstation 3 to $5.00! The president doesn’t control gas prices! Supply, demand, and OPEC do! These people have absolutely no evidence of their claims; they are conspiracy theorists, just like those who say that Bush was behind 9/11. Yes those people are still out there that believe that George Bush was the one who organized the attacks on September 11, 2001. All that they have are theories though, and will never have any true evidence, because they’re built on ignorance!

My point is that you are going to have strong opinions, no matter which side of the aisle you are on, have a reason for those beliefs. Find out if your beliefs could be proven wrong by real facts. Watch the news, listen to talk radio, read the news on the internet. If you have strong religious beliefs, read the Bible to see if your beliefs be proven right or wrong according to the Word of God! The upcoming generation is the most uninformed generation in our nation’s history. The sad, but ironic part of that is that we have more opportunities to keep up with current events and we simply don’t. The younger generation, the future of this country would rather pay attention to Paris Hilton and her blonde moments than the real news.

It happens on both sides of the fence, Republican and Democrat, but much more on the liberal side. There have been interviews, one in particular, of Obama supporters, as well as McCain supporters, where questions regarding our congress and politics in general were asked. There were 13 questions on this poll, one of which asked which party held the control of the congress. Only 18% of the Obama supporters answered 10 out of the 13 questions correctly. One of those supporters said “Well probably the Republicans because the president’s a Republican. That’s my honest answer”. That’s honestly a stupid answer! I’ll be the first to admit that the media is unfairly biased and is a huge part of the reason Obama won the election. They didn’t cover it fairly. Proof of that was found in this interview, because all of those people who didn’t know who had control of the congress knew everything there was to know about Sarah Palin! However, it’s not all that difficult to look up the facts to see who is in control of the congress. All that you have to do is go and do a google search! It’s not that difficult, so as biased as the media is, there is no excuse for not knowing simple facts. Granted that only 35% of McCain supporters got at least 10 out of the 13 questions correct, that’s still almost double the percentage of Obama supporters. Both sides need to educate themselves more!

My point is not that you should be a Republican, Democrat, Christian, Scientologist or any other type of person. Obviously, I am a conservative and am a Christian, and as a Christian, I would happily welcome you to consider becoming one as well. But if you are a Democrat, an Atheist, what reasons do you have? I ask that question, just as I ask conservatives what specific reasons they had for voting for McCain, or why Christians go to church on Sunday instead of Thursday or Friday, just to see how much they know about their own beliefs. Voting for a Republican because of their party without knowing anything about them is just as bad as voting for Obama for “change”. My personal recommendation is to listen to Mike McConnell on 700 WLW. He’s a conservative, but tells it like it is. In other word’s, he usually sides with the Republican Party, but will point out when they’re wrong, and he’s a very good and entertaining broadcaster. Wouldn’t you rather get your news from a credible source instead of Jon Stewart or David Letterman? I would!

The Race Issue...GET OVER IT!!!

If you go to youtube and watch any political videos against Obama, many of them are used by the liberals to name conservatives racists. None of these videos in any way shape or form hint of racism. That, however, brings me to my entire point today. I will admit that there are still some white people that are racist. There are those “rednecks” and old school idiots that use the N word to refer to blacks, but the number of white racists is strongly declining. There will never be a day when there isn’t at least a small percentage of racists on either side. We are living in 2008 though, not 1968, and believe it or not, things are getting better. In this article, I would like to explore the other side of the aisle and show how racism exists today, but on the opposite side.

So a lot of African Americans want an apology for slavery. Obviously, we all know that slavery is wrong, but it didn’t’ exist in any of our lifetimes. That doesn’t only mean that we weren’t responsible for slavery, it also means that blacks today aren’t affected by it. I’m tired of feeling bad for something that happened a century ago that I had nothing to do with, don’t condone, and I’m also sick of the fact that the people complaining about it weren’t even affected by it. This proves that some blacks are using events that occurred 100 years ago as a crutch.

Believe it or not, it is possible to disagree with Obama’s politics. If you have read any of my articles, I have given you plenty of reasons to disagree with Obama. Many of you may remember when Bill Cunningham made national headlines by warming up a crowd at a McCain rally in Cincinnati. If you look on youtube, several people have that video listed as “racist comments made by a McCain supporter”. If you watch the video, nothing that he refers to is racial at all. All that he does is tell the truth about Obama’s associations, and uses his middle name, which is Hussein, just as he does with plenty of other people on his show. For example, he refers to Bill Clinton as William Jefferson Clinton, and Calls President Bush George Walker Bush. That’s simply how he talks, but it’s more beneficial for the minorities to cry racism. Ignorance is so convenient in cases such as this because you cannot say anything against minorities without getting named a racist, when you simply disagree with them.

In our nation, 70% of black children are born out of wedlock. That’s right! 70% of black babies have a father who is nowhere to be found. That is a fact. It’s not something I made up, it’s not a rumor or opinion, it’s a factual statistic, and I’m not a racist for pointing it out! It’s frustrating that anytime you mention a true statistic, and it affects a minority group, especially blacks, you are named a racist. I am in no way, shape, or form a racist. I have plenty of black friends, as well as other ethnic groups. I don’t look at someone and judge them, because I would hope that those same people wouldn’t look at me and judge me.

Why was it perfectly fine that 90% of blacks voted for Obama? If 90% of whites had voted for McCain, that 90%, including the entire Republican Party, would have been named bigots! I used to think a lot of Colin Powell, until he endorsed Obama. A true republican who claimed to be a friend of John McCain publicly supported Obama, for what reason? I know only of one thing they have in common! Why is it that blacks can call whites “Crackers”? If we use any racial slurs we are reprimanded immediately! I think that just as we have the N word, that we should also have the C word! Why is it ok that African Americans have “Black Entertainment Television? Try to start the network “White Entertainment Television” and see what happens. What about the “United Negro College Fund”? Why can’t we have the “United Caucasian College Fund? Why is one not considered bigotry but the other one is? I could continue with examples, but I’m sure you get the point.

The two most racist people in this nation that are widely known are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! Although not alone, these two look for racism and will grab at any straws they can to make whites look like racists. They believe that they have to look for it because racism today is “hidden”. I’ve made this point before and I’m going to make it again. These two, along with their friends, in all reality didn’t want Barack Obama to win the election. Now that Obama will be the next president, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have no credibility and nobody should ever listen to them making false claims again! I read somewhere today that a commentator was complaining that less than 1% of college football coaches are black. The first point I would like to reference is the percentage of players in the NFL that are black. Second of all, the word minority means that there are fewer in their population. In other words, of course there are fewer black coaches because there are fewer black people!

Affirmative action is discrimination in itself, and instead of enforcing it, the government should be outlawing it! If I am the best person for a particular job, then I should receive it. If I’m not the best person for the job, then whoever is the most qualified should get it. Believe it or not, it’s that simple. Getting a job should not depend on what race, color, gender, or age you are. It should depend ONLY on your qualifications. The truth of the matter is that affirmative action doesn’t do minorities any good either. When minorities who aren’t the most qualified receive jobs because of affirmative action, it makes the people that deserved the job angry, and gives minorities as a whole a bad reputation.

I’m not against any minority groups at all. I’m simply saying that as things are getting better and as the generation that for years were the most prejudiced is fading away, it’s time to accept it. Of course there will always be at least a small number of people in every ethnic group that are bigots, and that will never change. However, the very fact that we now have a black president proves that times are changing, and I expect others in all walks of life and in all ethnic groups to realize that. My suggestion is to look at each situation logically. If you are in the minority and you are fired from your job, or if someone disagrees with something you say, don’t automatically assume that it was due to the color of your skin. That in itself is racism, and only makes things worse. My point…can’t we all just get along?

Responsibility...whats that?

I would like to revisit an issue that I brought up last week. I mentioned in my last blog that I didn’t know where I stood on the death penalty, and have had time to think about it. Let’s look at the issue logically. We all make mistakes, the only difference is that some accept responsibility for those mistakes, some don’t, and others just don’t care about who they hurt or the lives that they destroy. Jeffery Dahmer is the perfect example of someone that actually accepted responsibility for his despicable actions. Many don’t realize that while in prison, he actually became a born again Christian! Not only did he become a Christian, he tried to encourage others to do the same! He realized that he had committed terrible, unthinkable acts, and did his part to make amends for those mistakes. Of course his actions were disgusting, but by the time he looked in the mirror, it was too late, and we all know we can’t go back and turn things around. So let’s get back to the death penalty issue. Having cases such as Dahmer’s, I don’t believe that the death penalty is something that should be handed out until the prisoner has had time to repent, and turn his/her life around. Granted, they could be faking their reform to spare their own life, but it’s an idea worth giving a chance. Many who are on death row are not the same people that they were when they made the mistakes that got them there. I still understand both sides of this issue, but killing the killer will not bring back the one(s) that were killed. However, for the criminals who are unrepentant and continue to have hostile attitudes, after a certain period of time I think that the death penalty should be enacted.

In the last several summers we have had a lot of children left in cars because the parent forgot that they were in the car. Consequently, the children have died because of the parent’s carelessness. I listen to talk radio all the time and hear callers say that the parent is a terrible person, that they would never do that to their kids, and that the parent should be locked up for life. The purpose of putting someone in prison should be to prevent them from committing the act again, punishment, and to change them, if possible. First of all, they did not forget their child in the car on purpose, so of course they would never do it again. Second, there is no punishment that you can give to these people that is worse than what they will put themselves through for the rest of their lives. These people will have to live with the fact that they killed their own children for the rest of their lives, which is punishment enough. So there is no point in throwing them in prison.

There is no denying that we all screw up from time to time. It annoys me when people try to find someone else who is at fault for their actions. Look at the economic mess that our country is in right now. The banks are blaming the government and the mortgage holders, and the government and the mortgage holders, are blaming the banks. All three are at fault! The banks should not have loaned out money to people who couldn’t pay it back. The government should not have lowered standards to allow people to get loans that they couldn’t pay back. Then of course, many people lied about their incomes to get loans that they couldn’t repay! It baffles me by the way, that the people who lied about their incomes didn’t think it was going to come back and bite them at some point in time. Their credit is ruined, they’re out of a home, and don’t really have anywhere to go, but they shouldn’t have gotten the loan to begin with. The point is though, that the blame shouldn’t go to one person, or to one group of people, it should go to all three groups of people.

As I mentioned before though, it’s all about accepting responsibility, which nobody seems to be willing to do today. If we were all to look in the mirror, I’m sure every single one of us would see things that we didn’t like. Jesus made it clear that we are not to judge others because we all make mistakes and nobody can say that they don’t. He also said that if we don’t forgive others, God won’t forgive us, so that’s definitely something to think about. I’m telling this exact same thing to myself because I know that there are people in my life that I have a hard time forgiving, and I need to find ways to do it. It might not always be easy, but think about this. What good does holding a grudge against someone do? How does it make you feel better? I think that if we really thought about it, we would find that it only makes us unhappy and miserable, and who wants that?

Why the Bailout Didn't Work....

So why didn’t the bailout work? They all told us it would free up credit and that everything would get back on track. Why didn’t that happen? I know I know! It didn’t work because these greedy CEOs paid themselves billions of dollars on golden parachutes and company trips! The rich used the $700 billion to make themselves richer instead of what they were supposed to use it for. I was actually for the bailout, and I know that if they had used the money correctly, it would have worked. However, the government was naïve enough to believe that these people would actually do what they were supposed to.

My argument is that we should not have trusted these people with all of this money. Look at the mess they got themselves into to begin with and tell me what made us think they would be more responsible than they were at the start. If the IRS can send a personal auditor to make my life a living hell for as long as it takes around tax time, why could we not have the same type of people going to these companies to make sure they were spending the money for the intended purpose? Why was there not some sort of a clause in this plan that threatened jail time for misuse of the bailout money? I’m baffled at the ignorance of our congress on both sides of the aisle, Republican and Democrat!

So the question of the day is whether or not we should help out the “Big 3”. I absolutely HATE having to bail out irresponsible people. In my mind it reeks of socialism instead of capitalism, it is disgusting and I despise it. However, 1 in 13 people in this nation work in some way, shape or form for the auto industry. If we don’t bail them out, 3 million people will lose their jobs. 3 million! There is no doubt in my mind that if we don’t do something about it, we will be in a depression similar to the only one that this country has ever seen.

As many of you know, I work for Honda. I grew up a Ford guy, and to a large degree, I still am. I have gained a lot of respect for Honda since I have been working there, not because of the cars themselves, but because of the way that they are marketed. Allow me to explain. One of the biggest problems facing Ford, GM, and Chrysler today is the fact that they produced millions of cars that they cannot sell. Honda does just the opposite. Honda finds out how many they can sell, and that’s how many they make. The Big 3, on the other hand, didn’t do their market research, and just kept making tons of automobiles that they couldn’t sell. Honda also produces vehicles that get better fuel mileage than Ford, GM, and Chrysler. I worked at a Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge store for a while, and NONE of their cars averaged more than 27 mpg on the highway. Honda and Toyota have plenty of cars that average 35+ mpg. I’m not sitting here trying to sell you a Honda vehicle; I’m simply telling you why they’re doing better than the big 3. If Ford, GM, and Chrysler had marketed their vehicles properly, and made more fuel efficient automobiles, they wouldn’t be in the mess that they’re in.

I have heard people suggest solutions for the problem and have found one that I agree with. Instead of giving the bail out money to the companies themselves, give it back to the consumers in the form of a tax-break. Tell consumers that if they buy a Ford, GM, or Chrysler product, that they will receive a tax credit at the end of the year. That way, people will start to spend money again, especially in the places that are really hurting. That also prevents the government from making the same mistake twice, and not giving money to people who were already irresponsible with billions of dollars before.

I don’t feel sorry for the companies that made these bad decisions, and let’s face it, the big 3 made some very bad decisions. I do, however, feel bad for the 3 million people whose jobs are in jeopardy, and those that have already lost their jobs. However, if we don’t bail out these companies and they do go out of business, I’m sure that someone else or another company will buy up the plants, and build a company that could restart the economy. Sure it would take time, but maybe that new company would employ as many if not more people than the one that it would replace. Who knows? Many of you know about DHL in Wilmington Ohio, and that they will be putting thousands of people out of work. Maybe another company will replace it. Surely someone will see a future in an empty plant that nobody is using. I’m trying to look at the glass half full, but unfortunately it seems to look half empty. Sometimes though, you have to be a realist and look at the glass, plain and simply, as being twice as big as it needs to be.

Liberal Hypocrisy

So I was thinking the other day about the hypocrisy of liberalism. Stay with me here, as I outline their “beliefs” and views. I wanted to point out things like global warming, abortion, the whole green movement, the death penalty, taxes, amongst other things and show how they contradict themselves.

Let’s start out with global warming. I’m no scientist by any means. In school, biology, chemistry, and other science classes were my worst, however I passed common sense with flying colors! All of the people who believe strongly in global warming should answer the following question. If the Earth were warming dramatically, then why has the overall temperature across the globe consistently dropped since 1998? A friend of mine went to Argentina last year, where it snowed for the first time in 100 years, and Alaska just had the coldest summer in years. Any guesses? I’ve got one! Global warming is the biggest scam in human history! By the way, one of the most outspoken figures on the subject of global warming is Al Gore, who tells everybody to conserve energy, yet flies around the world in his own private jet.

Environmentalists put the life of the Earth above the lives of humans. The fact that they keep us from drilling for our own oil is proof of that! They care more about the life of the environment, whether it be animals, trees, or any other natural part of Earth, than whether or not you and I can afford to drive to work. Granted that oil prices have dropped by half in the last couple of months, but who says they won’t go back up? When they do, once again, these tree hugging freaks will continue to be the reason we can’t take advantage of our own resources! More proof that they put the life of the environment ahead of human life is very interesting, so let’s continue.

An overwhelming majority of environmentalists are democrats, who are also “pro-choice”. So these people who are so adamant about cruelty to animals don’t really mind if we kill a baby because of the misdeeds of the parents! I believe that abortion should only be legal in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother could be killed as a result of the birth. In all other cases, it should be considered murder. Partial birth abortion is the worst. One of the reasons I am against Obama is not only his stance on abortion, but partial birth abortion. For those of you who don’t know, sometimes abortions are unsuccessful, and the baby is accidentally left alive. Obama consistently voted against providing healthcare for that baby who is experiencing excruciating pain, because it might infringe on the mother’s right to choose. In other words, the baby suffers until it dies, because the mother wanted the baby to die to begin with, instead of accepting responsibility for her actions. And these same pro-life supporters make a huge deal out of things like hunting laws and cruelty to animals. What about cruelty to humans? Also, these people who are gung-ho for abortion usually are against the death penalty. Why is it okay to kill an innocent baby, but not ok to execute a murderer? Personally, as a Christian, I’m not even sure where I stand on this issue, because I see both sides of the issue. My point is not that the death penalty is right or wrong. My point is simply that the people who are against the death penalty for criminals are commonly supporters of a woman’s right to choose whether she is going to pay for her mistakes or her innocent baby will.

Next issue to discuss: taxes. The people who are all talking about how we need to raise taxes on the rich and the corporations have no idea what the results of doing that would be. First of all, we have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world, and these people want to raise it. They are also the same people who complain that inflation is so high! Somehow they don’t realize that companies have to raise their prices when their costs get raised! The lack of common sense among these people is astounding. Whether you like George W. Bush or whether you hate him, you cannot deny the truth of the situation he walked into in January of 2001. Bill Clinton left office during a recession. When Bush took office, he lowered corporate taxes, which allowed many new businesses to be opened, and millions of people were employed because of that. I find it interesting that a recession began again when democrats regained control of the congress.

So there you have it, life in the mind of a liberal. Of course, every person is different, and not all liberals believe the same exact things, as it is the same with conservatives. However, the average liberal stands for the very things that I pointed out, and they are the ones in control. I have split feelings for the next four years, because I am both terrified and exited at the same time. One might ask how that could be. My answer is that I am terrified of the leadership of this country, but am excited for the end result. When American’s figure out who’s really behind the mistakes made in the government, we will have a real change, and a good one. I believe that a true conservative will be running for office in 2012, and I believe that he or she will win. I think that this is what we needed to wake up the Republican Party, and to shake things up. My suggestion, as it always has been, is to have your own opinion, instead of borrowing someone else’s. I advise everyone to find the facts for themselves instead of adopting some else’s beliefs and to be their own person. God made you, why would you want to be someone else?

Hello My Name is _____ and I'm a Celebri-Holic!

Did anybody else notice that one the main headlines on Yahoo news the other day was “Britney and sons visit Louisiana”? My question to Yahoo news is…why the heck do I care? That’s one of the biggest problems in this nation. For some reason, we are so fascinated with celebrities and their everyday lives. Obviously, a massive majority of them are liberals and never say anything meaningful as to why that is. The fact is, that most of them are great looking, some funny, and some great musicians, and those are the qualities that many Americans would like to have. Unfortunately, we don’t leave it at that, and listen to the stupid things that they have to say and try to believe it ourselves. For example, I was flipping through a “People” magazine a couple months ago and Scarlett Johansson was quoted as saying something like: “Obama is change and embodies change. Change is what this country needs”. I’m sure that if you had had asked her what he was going to change, she would have answered as any Obama supporter would and say, well I don’t know specifically, but he’s not George Bush. Sure, change can be good! I changed my clothes today when I got out of bed, that’s all good and fine, but all that Obama ran his campaign on was that one word, not what it was he was going to change, nor how.

Other than the reasons that I mentioned earlier, why are we so impressed with these people? Sure their talents and looks are nice but their intelligence obviously isn’t. Why do many celebrities do stupid things intending to be in the spotlight, and then get angry when they are on the front pages of magazines for those stupid things? Why the heck do I care about where George Clooney is going on vacation? I might go see his latest movie, I might not, but I don’t need to know every aspect of his life because I just don’t care. I’m so sick though of all of these celebrities jumping on the Obama bandwagon. Did you hear that Oprah has been “unleashed” since the election? I understand her perspective that it means a lot to her that an African American man will be the next president, but the fact that many voted for him only because of that is just wrong.

One of the few good things that is going to come out of this election is that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should never be heard from again. I’m so sick and tired of them playing the race card every single time that they have the opportunity. How about when Jesse Jackson said that the “n word” should be banned from the English language and then used it to describe Obama. Now he is supposedly happy that Obama won, but he’s probably actually upset because he knows he doesn’t have any credibility anymore. I really don’t care about what color Obama is. He could be green, purple, orange, or yellow. He could be a Smurf for all I care! The question is whether or not he can lead the country and there is no reason to believe that he can. Another one of the few good things that this will bring about might be a renewal of common sense in this nation. Conservative talk show hosts like Mike McConnell love it when democrats are in the White House and Congress because it makes their jobs more fun. Now that the President and Congress are both democratic, it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is. They have nothing to complain about, and the conservative talk show hosts and journalists have the ability and listeners to point that out.

The media, however, will not be unfair to Obama the way that they have been to George W. Bush. They’re all liberal, and they helped to put him there so it would only make them look bad. Of course I wish that the election had gone differently, but the fact that it didn’t means that people are going to see who Obama really is! Look back across this campaign and realize how much the media tore Sarah Palin apart, and left alone the countless items that could have cost Obama the election. For example, why is it that Sarah Palin was criticized for wearing expensive clothing that she never asked for, but they didn’t put the spotlight on Michelle Obama on the same issue? Certain democrats even made claims that Sarah Palin’s youngest child was not her child! These claims are all unfounded with not a shred of evidence, but you would be torn apart if you suggested the same was true of the Obamas. Not only that, she TRIED to tell the media that Trig was her baby but they wanted us to believe that he wasn’t, so they lead us to believe that the baby wasn't hers! The media was especially tough on Palin after her interview with Katie Couric, because everybody thought that the interview was only six minutes long. However, the interview was actually two hours long, and they picked the worst six minutes of that interview to make her look bad. Then, Obama and Biden say all kinds of stupid things that nobody ever hears about, because it’s not important. When George Stephanopoulos, in an interview with Obama, made the comment commending McCain for not questioning his Christian beliefs, Obama replied, you’re right, he hasn’t questioned my Muslim beliefs, and Stephanopoulos had to remind him that he said Christian, not Muslim beliefs! Oops!!! We’ll just let that one slide, and not make that a major news story. We would rather take a pair of scissors to the interview that Katie Couric had with Palin and destroy her image!

It’s too late now though, and America has spoken. We now have a new leader and our enemies are licking their chops. Whether or not we will face another terrorist attack in the next four years, I honestly believe that there will be more attempts, even if they are stopped. I hope that I am wrong, but that’s why all of our enemies are so happy that we elected him. But as someone recently told me, God had a reason for allowing this to happen and we’re just going to have to give it time to find out what that reason was. As difficult as it is might be, we just need to pray for the man, because I could be wrong, and he might actually be good for the country. Thank you for taking the time to read this and enjoy your day.

"I actually did vote for the $87 Billion before I voted against it.."

Millions of Americans voted for Obama because they believe that Obama will end the war in Iraq very soon after he takes office. These people make the claim, well we shouldn’t be there to begin with, and it was not our war to fight, why go to war with a country that never attacked us. My question to these people is, “What would you have done if you had heard the threats to our country on September 10, 2001?” Exactly! We had a very similar threat, and people blamed Bush for not taking care of Bin Laden sooner. However, if we had gone to war the day before 9/11, he would have been criticized to no end. He had been criticized for not going to war soon enough and was not going to let that happen again!

Hillary Clinton voted to go to war, along with Edward Kennedy, John Kerry, and countless others, many who are democrats who never backed up their own decisions. Politics got involved and because the public didn’t see the intelligence that the politicians saw, they automatically lied about their votes. When the war became unpopular, the democrats all pretended that they had nothing to do with the decision to get rid of Saddam Hussein. Sean Hannity once played a recording of many democrats saying that we needed to go to war, then later when it was proven to be unpopular, said that Bush made a mistake. That video is on Youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCVZlLBchVE&feature=related
The only difference between Bush and all of the people who were with him on the decision to go to Iraq is that he was the only one to stick with it and not deny his involvement. Then you have Obama who has made the point saying that he was one of the few that was against Iraq, however he was a nobody at the time and didn’t even look at the intelligence the others did, so his argument is irrelevant.

I personally believe that at one time Saddam Hussein had the weapons that he once claimed to have. We know that he had a hatred for this country and that he had already attempted to assassinate George H. W. Bush. However, Americans are very quick to forget all of these things. Sure, I wish that we had killed Hussein the first time when Bush Sr. was in office, but we didn’t. I don’t care who you are, you can’t honestly say that this world isn’t better off without Saddam Hussein in power. It’s easy for Americans to complain about the war in Iraq, but they don’t remember the day that Saddam and his sons, who happened to be one of this nation’s greatest enemies in its history, were killed. They forget about the day that Iraqis tore down the statue that Saddam had put in their country. Americans don’t know that if Iraqis had disrespected Hussein the way that our country disrespects George Bush, they would be beheaded on the spot. If Hussein would do that to his OWN people, imagine what he would have done to ours!

When it boils down to it, we are winning this war, but the media is slowing us down. High ranking officials in the military make it known that we are making great progress there that the media doesn’t want you to know and won’t report. Americans complain about this war because the media only reports the cost and the number of lives lost. I am sorry, but thankful for every life given for his country, both now and in its past. I consider myself someone who is very grateful that the nation doesn’t have a draft, because I don’t what to be in the military. That being said, in 5 years of this war, we have lost around 4,000 – 4,500 men and women to this cause. We lost more soldiers in one day BATTLES in other wars that we have been in than we have lost in 5 years. I am not in any way disrespecting the lives given in this war, I am simply saying that many more may have been lost if we hadn’t gone. Most of the people who say that we shouldn’t have gone to Iraq would be asking George Bush when he is going to do something about Saddam Hussein if they had gotten what they wanted.

I honestly feel bad for the guy. It is impossible for him to make a good decision, because people complain no matter what he decides to do. Another perfect example of this occurred a year or so ago when the wildfires in California were taking place. The mayor of the city in which this was happening said that he was only visiting for publicity. He said that the secret service would have just been in the way and would have impeded the attempt to fix the problem. However when he didn’t go to New Orleans after Katrina, it was because he didn’t care, and because the majority of the population was African Americans, he was also called a racist. If you don’t believe that was the consensus, just go back and look up what Kanye West had to say about the issue. He made the comment, “George Bush don’t care about black people”. All because he knew that he would’ve been in the way and would have stopped the rescue crews from doing their jobs, he was labeled a racist for not getting in the way.

In short, George W. Bush is not the cause of all your everyday problems, as much as you might love to blame him. Just as Lou Dobbs blamed him for the Salmonella poisonings earlier this year, many people blame him for things such as their credit scores, high gasoline prices, food prices, amongst hundreds of other things. I think the problem in this country boils down to personal responsibility. It is always easier when there is someone else to blame, and it’s more fun and easier when you aren’t held accountable for making stupid comments. Most of the things people accuse him of have no basis, and its all hearsay. People who say that gas prices are his fault because he owns oil companies and that he doesn’t want the price of gas to go down should look at gas prices right now. I would welcome any of these accusers to come up with any evidence to support their claim and they would come up empty-handed. It’s amazing how much crap he took when prices were up but now that prices are going down nobody gives him any credit at all. He, of course, is only responsible for the bad things that happen, and if something good happens it is only because of sheer luck, or someone else stepped in. Don’t’ forget that democrats have been in control of the congress for two years, and that’s when the housing market started sinking, gas prices hit $4.00, and our economy hit the floor. However, the media got what they wanted, and an inexperienced, unqualified person will represent this nation for the next four years, all because the naïve nation will believe anything that David Letterman or Jon Stewart tells them. If the world doesn’t’ end by the time that Obama is through, the nation will be begging for another George Bush to run. Obama will change this nation from what it was founded on, to something that we have never seen, and the problems that it will cause, may last for decades. However, there is nothing we can do about it now. Just hope and pray for our new president, and support him as we now have no other choice, and hopefully we can make a new beginning. Enjoy your day and thank you for reading!

Well It's Official.....We're Screwed!!!

I’ve been dreading having to right this article for months, and it’s finally here. I have held out hope for a long time that we could trust the American people to educate themselves and be intelligent when they go to vote, and that hope is now gone. Now, it will be less than a year and all of those voters will be begging for the opportunity to take their vote back, and it will be way too late by that time. By that time, I predict that we will be in several very bad situations that will take us years to get out of. The government will have control of every aspect of our lives and democracy, as we know it, will be changed completely, if it will exist in this country at all.

I still hold true to my belief that voters should have to pass a test as they are registering to vote. Even if their vote would still count, it would at least prove that the majority of uneducated people vote democratic. As I have proven in previous articles, conservatives pay attention to current events on a much larger scale than liberals do. The sad truth in this nation is that it’s more convenient to be ignorant of the facts. Many people would say they don’t have time to look things up, and let Jon Stewart and Jay Leno make up their minds for them. People don’t want to know the facts because it requires too much responsibility, and we can’t have that!

I’m actually sick to my stomach. Not only is it disgusting that Obama will be the next president, it’s even more sickening that millions of Americans were responsible for it. As I’ve said before we will now receive the government we deserve. Because Obama has been elected, we will now be a completely different nation with a weak and unqualified leader, and will find this “change” to be our demise. The change that he presents will transform our incentive based democracy to a laziness rewarding socialistic society.

I was watching MSNBC last night to see what Keith Olberman had to say. I had to turn the channel because I can’t stand the guy to begin with, and was yelling at the TV too much. He was whining about how unfair the media had been to Obama. HOW UNFAIR THE MEDIA WAS TO OBAMA? How about all the times that Sarah Palin was slandered, and how much terrible coverage there was over her daughter’s pregnancy. Then of course there was the fact that the media didn’t report anything about the “spreading the wealth around”. The media picked on Joe the Plumber more in one month than they did on Obama in over a year! It’s sad that the Keith Olbermans of the world cry about the “unfair” bias on the right, but look the other way when it comes to the overwhelming majority of unfair bias on the left.

I’m still kind of in a daze right now. I’m still in disbelief because all of our enemies are laughing at us. We will now lose all of the progress that we have made in Iraq, and will now be a target for a terrorist attack. Whether or not you believe in this war, you cannot deny that we will have lost all that we had gained and it will all have been for nothing. At the start of this war, Osama Bin Laden told Al Qaeda that American’s don’t have the stomach for a war, and Obama is going to prove him right. Our troops should come home with a feeling of accomplishment, and now they are going to come home feeling like the last 5 years were pointless.

I think the worst part of all of this is that Obama’s not going to have any resistance in the House or Senate. Foolish Americans don’t realize that the democrats have been the reason that the last two years have sucked so bad. They blame it all on what they believe is the dictator of this nation, George W. Bush. They forget that 6 out of the last 8 years were actually not all that bad, and that the last two is when the bottom fell out, and don’t put the blame where it belongs. Things like the housing crisis, gas prices hitting $4.00, and the economy tanking as a whole all happened after the democrats took over the congress. After this election, they received several more seats in both the house and the senate, and so now the democrats have complete control over the government. We are in deep crap right now, and the blame should be placed on uninformed voters.

Enjoy the next 2 months before Obama officially becomes the President of the United States of America. Unless he is impeached, we won’t see the type of freedom and democracy that we have right now for another four years. We have earned this though, but I am more than happy to be wrong. I don’t usually mention that, but I would love to be incorrect, and hope that I am. Unfortunately, it’s not only conservative views that lead me to believe these things, but also common sense, which, as I state in the title of this blog, they go together. Pray for our country, because we have just elected the most inexperienced and most unqualified president in history for all the wrong reasons.

Either Way, We're in Trouble.....

I heard someone say the other day that people who didn’t know the issues should just stay home and not vote. I couldn’t agree more. I think we should have an exam that you have to pass before you vote. The questions on the exam would be general questions that people who pay attention to current events would know. My take on it is that if you don’t pay attention to current events now, you have no purpose in voting because you won’t pay attention to them later to see if your candidate is trying to do the things he or she promised. The people who don’t pay attention to real current events should stay home and read their People Magazine and US Weekly and watch Showbiz Tonight, because that’s where they get their “news”. If these people would turn the channel and get their news from Fox instead of Leno, Letterman, and Conan, they might have a different outlook on who they should vote for.

That being said, looking back on the last several months, McCain has run a terrible campaign. I say that because there were so many things that could have and needed to be said that weren’t, and he didn’t take shots when he had the chance to. For example, when asked whether or not we should fear an Obama presidency, he said we had nothing to fear! Obama is the least experienced and least qualified person to lead this nation. Of course we should fear an Obama presidency because he thinks that Iran is a country that doesn’t pose a threat because they’re “small”. We shouldn’t fear a president who has had associations with terrorists? (Notice that word is plural). I have never heard McCain say a word about Jeremiah Wright either, and that bothers me. Obama sat in the man’s church for 20 years, heard racist and America hating “sermons”, but claimed that he didn’t know that Wright felt this way. You don’t sit in a church for 20 years and not know that your minister hates America and is a racist, and if you do, you’re nowhere near intelligent enough to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

The very fact that Obama is a presidential candidate is proof that America is going downhill. It proves that Americans are becoming more and more willingly ignorant by not recognizing the lies that he presents. He continues tell people that he will pay teachers more, give college students more scholarships amongst other things. What he doesn’t tell you is that the federal government has nothing to do with any of those things and that it would be impossible in a democracy for him to change that. However, American’s are so willing to hear something new and different that he could say he would lower the cost of movie tickets and they would vote for him, because they would actually believe him. If he gets what he wants and is actually able to do these things, it would be because he tore up the constitution and turned democracy to socialism. The only way to give more college students scholarships is by having the government take over the colleges, but nobody understands that.

Another thing that McCain has failed to do is defend tax breaks for corporations and oil companies. People hear about tax breaks for the wealthy, corporations, and oil companies and instantly think that it’s because Bush has ties to oil companies. What they don’t take into consideration is that the wealthy employ the middle class. If we tax the wealthy to death, which we already do now, they won’t be able to pay the people that they employ. With corporations, who do you think pays their income taxes? WE DO! We have the second highest corporation tax in the world, and Obama wants to make it higher. The prices of their products are so high because they have to pass on the costs, including taxes. It’s the same way with oil companies. They already have high taxes, and when they get taxed more, the price of gas goes up, so when their taxes aren’t cut, we pay for it! Obama wants to be Robin Hood by taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Only in this case, the majority of the wealthy people in America got where they are because they worked for it. The people that Obama wants to give their wealth to don’t work and wait for a government handout. He says that 95% will get a tax credit under his plan; however 40% of American’s don’t pay income taxes to begin with. In other words, he’s going to cut a check to the people who don’t pay income taxes, which is welfare. We should be strongly reforming the welfare system so that Americans can’t abuse the system and Obama’s plan is to make it worse and reward laziness even more!

I personally think though that it’s just getting started. I hate to be a pessimist, but this country is screwed either way. It’s difficult to word what I am about to say delicately, but I will do my best. If Obama wins, we are screwed for every reason that I have already mentioned, plus a few others. If Obama loses, America will be labeled as a racist nation, because it’s impossible to disagree with “the one” on the issues. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and all of the people who think that every white American is a racist will “prove their point” if Obama loses. What it boils down to though is that those two don’t want Obama to win to begin with, because if he does, they’ll have to admit they were wrong and that white Americans aren’t all racists. In other words, they will lose their jobs and all of their credibility. Voting FOR Obama just because he’s black is just as bad as voting AGAINST him because he’s black and people just don’t get that. All of these people who are proud of him for being where he is should look at what he stands for and then see if they’re still proud of him. While the numbers aren’t high, there are a few African Americans who are not voting for him because of what he stands for, they just aren’t heard by enough people.

This will be my last article before the election, which of course is tomorrow. I am nervous, because as much as I hate it, I’ve got a pretty bad feeling about which way it’s going to go. As I said in my last article though, maybe this is what we need to turn our country around. Maybe after four years of Obama in the office America will realize how badly we were fooled, and will be ready to put the republicans in the White House and in the congress. If you are a hard working American who earns your paycheck every week and want to keep as much of it as possible, stand up and go vote for McCain. Obama will take it and give it to somebody who sits around watching soaps and Judge Judy everyday when they are completely capable of working. Those people already get enough of my tax dollars and they don’t need more!

My name is Shaun Mount and Barack Obama would NOT approve this message!

"Redistribution of the Wealth"

Let’s take a look at Obama’s plan to “redistribute” the wealth in this nation. Mike McConnell made the point this week that he hates the word redistribution because it wasn’t distributed to begin with, but earned. And for hard working Americans, that’s true. However, there are so many people who fake illness or disability so that the government will take care of them and reward them for being lazy. Yes, there are many people on welfare and disability that don’t have a choice and need the money, but there are also a lot of people who take advantage of the system. Instead of fixing this system, Obama plans to make it worse by taking EVEN MORE money from the hard working Americans and giving it to these people who manipulate the system. McConnell also spoke with McCain this week and suggested that Obama redistribute some of his wealth to the McCain Campaign, just to make everything “fair”. I’m sure that would go over real well. I’ve got a pretty good feeling that Obama is all for “spreading the wealth” as long as it’s not his wealth that’s being spread around.

I actually have a plan to fix the illegal immigrant problem in this country, but it will never be implemented, especially if Obama is elected. It has been said for years that the illegal immigrants come to this nation to do jobs that American’s won’t do. My plan is to make it impossible for able and healthy Americans to get welfare checks. This would force these people to do those jobs that “American’s won’t do” and there would be fewer jobs for these illegal immigrants to do, and they would go home. Granted, these illegals will work for less than the Americans will, but it would definitely help the situation. However, once again, Obama is going to throw fuel on the fire as opposed to putting it out.

I’ve made this point before, but most of Obama’s supporters don’t really know anything about him. All that they know is that he seems intelligent and seems to know what he’s talking about. He has convinced them that George Bush is a dictator, and that everything he has done in the “last eight years” is wrong. I’m so sick of people blaming Bush for every single thing under the sun. I actually had a pretty funny encounter with a customer that had a lower credit score than he was expecting. He says something to the effect of “We need to get Bush out of there he’s screwing up everything”. I wanted to say: “Yeah, you’re probably right sir. George Bush stole your identity and when Obama is president, your credit score will increase. There’s an ongoing investigation and we’re finding out that Bush is also responsible for an armed robbery at a liquor store last week as well.” I was just blind-sighted. I had no idea that Bush was an identity thief! These freaking morons need to start paying their bills and taking responsibility instead of blaming everyone else.

I still have yet to have an educated conversation or debate with an Obama supporter. Granted, I usually hang out with people who share similar views, but even random people that I meet on a day to day basis are not going to vote for him. Many of his supporters don’t advertise it because they know that they can’t answer the questions that the opposition would have. They just know that we need a “change”. I would love to have a debate with an Obama supporter, because I know that I could make points and ask questions that would stump them, but have yet to find the opportunity.

We have less than one week left, and I fear that we will elect what I called in my last blog, the government we deserve. You might not be the biggest fan of McCain, but don’t just sit at home because you don’t want to vote for him. Some people would call it the “lesser of two evils”. Although he wouldn’t have been my first choice, I think he would do just fine. Think about it though. Every single election year countless Americans say “well I don’t like either one of them”. Whether you dislike both of them or not, one of them WILL be the president, and your vote would count. However, you actually have to go out and vote for that to happen. When I look back to the history books and the definition of democracy, I realize that Obama wants to make everything “fair”, do away with democracy and adopt socialism. Remember, if you don’t go out and vote against Obama, and democracy is stolen, you can’t complain, because you didn’t do your part to stop it. Have a great day!

The Government We Deserve

What is the "government we deserve"? Well, if we elect Obama, we're going to find out real quick! He encourages mediocrity with his socialistic ideas and plans. In a socialistic government there is no incentive to work, but that's what we've been heading towards for years. Many Americans are taking advantage of the welfare program in the country, and the government is forcing the hard working Americans to support those people who could work, but don't. That's what we "deserve", and that's what Obama wants. In his own words, it's best to "spread the wealth around". His healthcare plan is also a socialistic plan as well, as the government will have control over it.

Obama has brainwashed millions of Americans into thinking he is going to change things for the better. He continues to say that 95% of Americans are going to get a tax cut. That would be nice, but 40% or more of American's don't pay income taxes to begin with, and the sad thing is that his supporters don't realize that, and blindly fund his campaign. His running mate Joe Biden predicted that there would be an international crisis within 6 months of his presidency if he is elected! His OWN running mate predicted that the world would "test" him. Our enemies want Obama to be president because they know that he is weak and has absolutely no experience. This same man that is running for president called Iran a "tiny country" that didn't pose a threat! Iran is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest threat to this nation and to Israel, who is one of our best allies. This reminds me of the 2004 election when Osama Bin Laden endorsed John Kerry, because he knew that Kerry, like Obama, would give up and not fight back.

A large part of Obama's supporters don't even know what he stands for! They just know that he is this guy that's going to "change" everything. I received an email the other night that is also on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocEDHX733nI= It's an audio file of African American Obama supporters. Someone interviewed a few of his supporters, purposely trading McCain's views for Obama's. In other words, the interviewer asked if they supported Obama more because he thought we should stay in Iraq or because he opposed abortion, which obviously are not his views. Their answers were I agree with Obama because I think we need to finish the job in Iraq!!! The man doesn't want to stay in Iraq to finish the job! He wants to give up on a war that WE ARE WINNING! When asked what they thought of Obama's running mate, Sarah Palin, they said they thought she would do fine! SARAH PALIN IS MCCAIN'S RUNNING MATE! They are only voting for the man because he is African American. It wouldn't matter what he said or did, they would vote for him no matter what, simply because of the color of his skin. Now I know that because I said this, I should be labled as a racist, but somebody has to say it. Would I vote for an African American candidate? OF COURSE, just not this one for a massive list of reasons.

I've said this once and I'll say it again: the democrats have the control of the congress right now, which means they have control of almost everything. Americans need to go back to their middle school social studies text books and watch the news and realize that it's not the president that has all of the control, it's the congress. Do you know who Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid is? These two are two of the most liberal people in country and Pelosi is the most powerful person in the House of Representatives, and Harry Reid of the Senate. Yes, they're democrats, and right now they have the control, not President Bush. If you were to look back on the last eight years, the last two have been the worst by far, and that's when the democrats took over the congress. That's when all hell broke loose. Now let's imagine a democratic congress AND a democratic president, not a pretty picture.

I hope you got the chance to watch the Alfred E. Smith video in which Obama and McCain set aside their politics aside and make fun of themselves and each other. If you didn't, you should watch it on youtube. It was actually hilarious on both sides, and McCain brought up the point of the liberal media. He brought up Keith Olberman and his liberal bias saying that "he can hang is banner in whatever padded room they have prepared for him". That was the funniest thing that I have ever heard McCain say, and he's right. I do take comfort in one thing, and that is the ratings of the media. The highest rated news station is Fox News, which most people know is the most conservative news station. The lowest rated news station is MSNBC, which is the most liberal news station. In other words, Conservatives pay a lot more attention to current events than liberals. Most people who consider themselves liberal could tell you what the names of Britney Spears' grandparents are before they could tell you who William Ayers is, because most of them just don't care.

There are only two weeks left, and then we will elect a new president for the whole world to see. Will we elect a man that has served his entire life, both in the military and the government? Or will we elect a man who has been a community organizer and a senator for less than one term, just so we can "change" things. If he is elected, Obama will take our democracy and give us socialism. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm going with the one who can't move his arms above his head because while he was being tortured (for this country) for 5 ½ years, during which they broke both of his arms which never healed properly. Think twice before you vote for Obama, because I guarantee you, that at the end of four years, Americans will be begging for another republican to be in the office, and maybe that's what we need. Maybe the nation needs to realize how bad things CAN get, so they can realize how good they really have been, and that they could definately get much worse. But what do I know?
