The problem with...

Ron Paul, is he has the wrong body and voice to be my representation.  The idea of individual liberty and responsibility for ourselves is fine in theory, and his commitment to minding our own business internationally (not that we can't be a world influence, but it should be economically, not militarily) would mean that we wouldn't HAVE to have a color coded chart for our national security.  It's an odd notion, that we aren't the answer to EVERY world issue...but it's a GOOD notion.  We should be working on our own problems.  On second thought...maybe he's the perfect voice for my thoughts...exactly.

Rick Perry, is that he really does think he answers to "god".  I wish he were a bit more fearful of me, the citizen and tax payer.  Whatever his religious feelings are, I don't care...it's insignificant to me.  It would be as important to me as if he were a gun owner.  It's his overall character that is what we are judging with his message...but he's off target.  It isn't whether he's a "good citizen"...of that, I have little doubt.  So Rick, spend less time convincing me of your character, and start talking about the content of your intellect.

Michelle Bachman, is her voice.  I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin can butcher English into my ear all night and I'd prolly not hate it any more than a few scattered vowel raping words from Michelle.  But my issue isn't so much when she speaks, but if she can really back up those big boy world ideas she is espousing.  What does it take to change the culture of Washington?  Can she affect that change.  My problem with Michelle is that I believe she is right on many of her theories, but ineffectual in her scarce record of practices.

Newt Gingrich, is that he knows he's right, and my ego tells me he needs to suffer and learn a little humility, but my house is on fire and he's got a damn hose.  Regarding changing a culture in Washington...well, only Newt and Ron Paul would be a real CHANGE in Washington.  Newt could be the most effective leader, based on idealistic principles and a superman approach to being transparent in order to show off to the electorate his nobility.  It's kind of like giving praise to success to a child, and seeing how far and successful he can be...but if you criticize failures...he can be just as aggressive on defence as offense.  Could he work with Congress if he hits a speedbump, or will he stomp away?  I'm not sure, but he's still got a damn hose.

Mitt Romney, is well, his record, his methods, his compromises, his lack of evidence that he isn't as big a douchebag politician that we are trying to throw OUT of the damn White House.   If you're voting for Mitt, you prolly aren't reading this blog...that's for sure. 

Please remember, whatever happens in Iowa, it's just a vote, in one state.  You have your chance, and nothing is decided in January.  But I know that we can't talk about anything else while 100000 people get ready to tell us what's important to them.

Yes, I see the irony in that.

Found Some more Ron Paul quotes...

"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." - Ron Paul, 1992
Sounds…well, duh.


"We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such." - Ron Paul, 1992
http://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/crime/jar.asp
Facts are not racist. 

"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?" - Ron Paul, 1992

If people listened to Ron Paul in 1992, would we have overlooked Madoff, Corzine, Goldman Sachs, etc…?  Yeah, shut up people…Ron Paul isn’t racist, he’s right.

Ron Paul Newsletter quotes

"Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.pdf Facts aren’t racist.

"We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational." (Context??)

So, in order to not be "racist" I routinely jog through North Vegas with $100 bills taped to my naked white ass without fear of being accosted. WTF is wrong with being wary or aware of thug looking people of any race? I even look at thug looking women with a stink eye to make sure they know I’m watching. Some bitches can be just as brutal as dudes.

After the Los Angeles riots, one article in a newsletter claimed, "Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks."

Riots did end on May 04; first Monday of the month… coincidence?

One referred to Martin Luther King Jr. as "the world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours" and who "seduced underage girls and boys."

There is plenty of evidence that he was a philanderer, and it was widely held that he beat white prostitutes...(Herman Cain didn't get the benefit of the doubt either) and he was a proven plagorist. As far as seducing underage girls and boys...that's far from racist...it's just an allagation...see Herman Cain and cry with him if you are offended.

Another referred to Barbara Jordan, a civil-rights activist and member of Congress as "Barbara Morondon," the "archetypical half-educated victimologist."

Here are a couple of quoted gems from this dumbass.

“A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.”

“But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants. “

“I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it.”

“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap. “

Sounds to me like she is nothing short of a moron. And considering I disagree with every fiber of her desire for a socialist USA, she seems to be the archetypical half-educated victimologist that she was called.

That's all I found that "Ron Paul" said...in his newsletter written by other writers. If you have something more hateful, please send me the link. So far, racism isn't found...just some statements of truth, or allegations...but no racism.

Very important announcment

I am supporting the libertarian candidate...and i hope it will be...
http://www.lpnevada.org/blogs/37-general-libertarian-party-information/241-gary-johnson-announces-libertarian-run

What about the Friday Pizza Night?

I have heard a lot of arguments in the past 30 days that were heartfelt, tear-jerking and really moving testaments to the wonders of Christmas and the spirit of giving that is what the holiday season is all about...and apparently it is all a bunch of Reindeer shit (Not to be mistaken for Unicorn crap, which look and taste like gumdrops).  Two weeks ago, it was "Republicans in the House are taking $40/paycheck from every working family because they are Scrooges."  This means no family pizza Friday night, or maybe an electricity bill goes unpaid...because the poor in this country are barely making ends meet, and that $40/paycheck is the difference between starving and being able to share a Christmas meal with family.   And then...Christmas spirit, and that extra $40/paycheck turns into mayhem, riots, fights, peppersprayings, and even women beating the hell out of each other to get a chance to buy $200 Nike shoes.  These are the same poor innercity black families who are taking a break from preparing their Holiday meals (thank goodness for the Social Security raping tax holiday extension of two months) in order to stand in line to spend close to $200 for a pair of shoes that probably has $6 worth of material and low cost labor putting it together.  Next thing you know, there's gonna be a government program to subsidize the cost of Nike's to innercity poor, paid for with a tax on the 1% no doubt.  And some people wonder why I am not more sympathetic to the "poor"...probably because I have $20 payless loafers on, and my tennis shoes for working out were $40...and they last a couple years.  Yeah, I am a little bitter about these poor souls...it reminds me of Oprah's comment:
When asked why she built a school in South Africa instead of Chicago...she said, "I asked the kids in Chicago what their most important NEED was, and they said Ipods and Nikes.  When I asked the kids in South Africa, they said 'textbooks and other teaching aids.'"  Yeah...that sounds about right.  Good thing they got their $40 tax holiday extended, those ipods are expensive, and they only take cash...not foodstamps or vouchers.  But it brings up an interesting idea:
What if we stopped all welfare, foodstamps, section 8 housing, etc.  and instead contracted Apple and Nike to give tax deductable donations of ipods and shoes to everyone in "need", but they had to buy their own food and pay rent and no more welfare.  Would they do it?  By "They" I mean the recipient class (AKA Deadbeat grifting 'poor' leaches on society).  It seems that the important things to them are shoes and ipods, so if we save money on welfare, and give out shoes and ipods...we may be able to save a ton of money.  Reid, look into this will ya?  Maybe put a restriction on it, like you have to have a job to qualify...or you must have your childsupport paid to get your Nike.  I'm not sure, but I'll bet the needle moves with this incentive...we won't cure all their issues, but nothing gets a lazy bum off his ass faster than a motivation based on what is important to him.  
There is one possible downside of this idea, and that is what will PROBABLY happen if this idea catches on.  Instead of substituting welfare for shoes/ipods, the lazy recipient class will start to demand the shoes/ipods AS WELL AS the welfare, because we know that once the gov't starts a program, it takes an amendment to the constitution (prohibition) to end it.  And if the program is a giveaway, it never ends...ever...even if the problem the program was tasked with fixing is gone...the program lives on.   So now instead of a solvent Social Security fund, we'll have pizza eating poor folks wearing Nike's in their gov't housing and all it costs us in this country is our very future.  Maybe the $10,000 bet Mitt Romney made isn't as big a deal as the pundits said...I mean, Mitt probably wears $200 shoes as well...but I doubt he had to play "knock out" with someone in line to get them.  ( Google it, it's an inner city game the "youts" are playing nowadays.)  Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy our free gifts we keep giving to you all...no need to write us a thank you note...it's our "patriotic duty" to pay our taxes.  This is getting old...fast.  I wonder if I can even afford a pizza night...but Harry Reid doesn't care about my plight...

Anybody But Obama…but…

                The argument against a third party is starting to make sense now.  The “Anybody but Obama” camp is really making a lot of logical sense, seeing as how this administration is doing things that make a constitutionally conservative person fold up into the fetal position and just wait for this nightmare train-ride to end.  There isn’t a person alive in the USA that can justify this abject failure in office, but what about the alternative…even the worst Republican has to be better than Obama.

                So to summarize Fox News, Fox on Sirius, and most republican establishment bloggers, we will rally and support whoever it is that gets the nomination in order to defeat Obama and make him a one term president…EXCEPT Ron Paul, he’s too wacky and his followers are fanatical and wear tinfoil hats…but besides him, we’ll get behind anyone else…EXCEPT Herman Cain, he had too many women accuse him of stuff 15 years ago, even though they had no evidence, we can’t support him…but anyone else…EXCEPT NEWT, he’s too Zany and unpredictable and worked for a consulting firm that was paid by Fannie/Freddie, so besides him we support anyone but Obama.  EXCEPT Gary Johnson, he’s not electable because we don’t talk about him enough and he doesn’t have the political establishment behind him…but besides him we support anyone that gets the Republican Establishment’s endorsement to beat Obama…UNLESS it’s …OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!!!  Just say what you want to say you morons…YOU WANT ROMNEY.  Just be honest, he gives you the best chance to get back to business as usual in Washington.  He’s your stooge.  Why do you give us the lipservice about conservative principles, then forgive this guy for a history of liberal idealism when it suits him.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, just get rid of the name Republican Party and rename it “Occupy Business as Usual”.  What happened to the Tea Party ideals of conservative constitutional values and limited Federal  Government…???what, that’s not the Republican position anymore?  Whose is it?

                I hear people say that Paul will hijack the Iowa Caucus and that the republicans should not take the caucus serious…2 WEEKS BEFORE IT HAPPENS!!!  What are you afraid of?  Seriously?  What…Ron Paul will force congress to approve military action wherever we are, and if it isn’t approved, our troops will come home.  This is too outlandish for Republicans?  Ron Paul will remove presidential approval of certain departments of the Federal Government and remit the authority back to the States…this is a problem to whom?  The people making LOTS of money from the Dept. of Education, Labor, HHS, etc??  Ron Paul will put immense pressure on the FED to justify its existence, it’s monetary policy and there will be debate in this country over what TRULY is needed to get us back on our hegemonic ways.  How AWFUL.  You can ignore the results, you can call Ron Paul supporters tinfoil hat wearers, and you can flounder around trying to justify your progressive practices…but for your own sake, don’t ignore the 10-20% of this country that supports Ron Paul and what he stands for.  He symbolizes the frustrations and anger that is permeating this country because of the Democrat and Republican parties refusal to be responsible and honest…and you ignore us at your own peril.  We aren’t going away, we are growing in popularity and support, we have money, and we aren’t afraid to “throw our vote away” by supporting a third party instead of Obama and Romney…so it really is up to you, establishment.  Put Romney up there, and we will stay in our fetal position until YOU realize that Romney and his type are UNELECTABLE and no better than Obama to us.

My Racist Wallet?

I had no idea when I was getting my driver’s license, that one day it could be construed as a tool of racism.  I feel badly for those in Arizona and Alabama who are constantly being racially harassed when they are forced to show their legal picture identification, when all of us go through our lives without a tattoo on our forearm or our “papers” like in the old DDR.  It is an absolute shame that our government in certain states wants to take away the “rights” of people to vote without having proof of whether they are citizens…as if that is a requisite to voting.  If only we could show these government officials the racism of their actions.

Take me, for instance.  A white, 37 year old male with a job.  I don’t have to show my ID anywhere I go, because I’m white, and we are above the laws…except when I buy liquor, I have to show my ID…and when I get pulled over, have to show my ID…or when I win at gambling and it needs to be reported to the IRS…or when I’m at the bank and want to make a withdrawal…or at the airport when I want to get on a plane.  Besides that, as a white man I don’t have to show my ID, except when I’m in a kitchen and the health inspector needs to see my health card, or my Concealed Weapons Permit if a law enforcement officer asks for it…or when I write a check.  Besides those instances, showing ID is racist.  You want to know what’s really racist?  I’ll tell you,

   When the first black president refuses to free hundreds of thousands of black youth in American prisons for possession, trafficing and usage of marijuana…that is racist.  The half of Obama that doesn’t care about the American black youth and lets them sit in prison for breaking a racist law, supported by racist prison guard unions and racist DEA and ATF agencies whose sole job is to harrass, arrest and abuse minorities in these United States.  Please tell me how forcing people to show ID when voting is anywhere as bad as the institutional and methodical imprisoning of a large percentage of minorities in our cities.  Perhaps the sheet wearing half of Obama should pick battles that matter, instead of hiding behind the hypocracy of antiquated laws that hurt our poor and minorities…because you know damn well that if the name of the defendant is Kennedy or Bush, those kids aren’t going to jail, they’re going to Malibu Rehab and getting a book deal.  That is racist.  End the hypocracy.

Everything for Everyone...and Nothing for Ourselves?

Oh, the air is ripe with politics...like a stroll through a pig farm during a tropical heatwave.  I can't help but be filled with hope; hope for change, hope for the future, and hope for someone else (Not You Donald) to enter the race to replace Barry.  The echo from the left, that fateful cry, "We will provide, you deserve fair wages, 5 weeks of vacation per year, full pensions no matter how you mismanaged your finances..." and in return, we simply ask for 17 days of vacation in Hawaii for our Christm...uh...Holiday break.  Sounds like a fair bargain, those who get the benefits of the progressives, aren't really the ones who pay into the system, or for the President's brood's vacation...so...sure, it's a deal.  Marie Antoinette couldn't live within her means, why the hell should Michelle?  In fact, Barry had to be delayed in order to make sure we don't have energy independence at the expense of his Environmental extremists votes, and of course, we need to reload the coffers or the gov't won't be able to fund the UN, the wars in the Middle East, more money to defunct and bankrupted solar energy and car companies...the list of important gov't functions is endless...no, seriously, endless. 
   "So is your plan any better?" you ask.  And I answer...yup...but it'll sting a bit if you're one of the leaches on the teat of Uncle Sam.  How about this little effort, now mind you, I'm spitballing here:
No vacation for the wife and kids of the president of the US if he's stuck in town, and you want to go play in Hawaii (or Asia, as Barry likes to call it), then you pay for it yourself...and fly Commercial.  Go through the TSA molesta...er....patdowns.  No Airforce 1, no military entourage...you aren't Vincent Chase, you're a damn home gardening, jumping jackass...now quit acting like a spoiled princess who just figured out daddy is too busy to bitch-slap you for being a prima-donna.  Jesus, your kids are gonna end up feeling entitled to...oh...now I get it...it's just who you are.  Sheesh, you aren't allowed to speak to my kids, if that's your idea of "shared sacrifice" in this economy. 
  Next, Congress...The House passes a budget, and the Senate won't take up a vote on it.  House, go home...Senate...no more continuing resolutions.  The gov't stops if you are too partisan to even allow a vote.  A budget is the basis for fiscal responsibility, as any accountant knows, if you spend as you go, without budgeting, you end up spending EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, and more.  A little discipline, Harry, I'm talking to you...leader.  pshaw.
Now that we have everyone's attention, and a budget...let's do something outrageous.  Let's READ, on primetime, the bill just passed that allows the President to detain a US Citizen without due process, indefinitely.  I'm just curious how only 7 of the 100 members of the Senate voted against this after taking the oath of office which states, "I will defend the constitution..." really?  Really?  Too difficult to find a judge?  Is having a lawyer present during interrogations too much to ask?  How about this little diddy:
  Democrats, please list in order of displeasure the Amendments to the Constitution that you don't agree with, and we will discuss how to get rid of them.
Republicans, please list in order of displeasure the Amendments to the Constitution that you don't agree with, then we will compare with the Democrats and then vote you out of office you hypocritical son's of bitches.  How dare you take a position in gov't to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and then conspire, cajole and manipulate the workings of the government to erode the very protections the document espouses.  If ever there was a time for a mass revolution away from either party occupying Washington DC, it is now.  If ever there was a time for a candidate who can articulate clearly what most Americans want to see, it is NOW.  Instead of a divider and conqueror, we need someone willing to tell the Occupy W.S. crowd to shut the hell up, and go work...start a business, shave and shower and get a job...be willing to work hard for your own future.  The government is out of the business of providing...instead we will protect your ability to provide for yourself.  MY GOD, is there nobody willing to be honest with the people? 
So, my plan is less of a plan, and more of a beckoning to our next great leader in the mold of Reagan, Jefferson, and all the other leaders who allowed America to be great, instead of using it's greatness to allow it's citizens to not have to be great.  The republican field is just weak, and we just don't believe you when you say what you know we want to hear...but your record doesn't back it up.  We don't need a US Religion, we don't need a US cheerleader, we need a damned leader willing to trade his second term for real and probably painful change...a weaning off the dried up teat of our old and crippled Uncle Sam.  If you voted for McCain, Dole and are thinking of voting for "whomever is nominated", then you will see a resurgence of the Obama crowd next election, because you will still be fighting their war, with their rules.  A game changer does just that.  New rules...Everything for Everyone who earns it for himself...and nothing for people who sit back and wait for their lunch to be served...

PS, we won't let you eat OUR cake...go get a job.

What's good for the STATE?

OK, lets join the fantasyland that Debbie "Wuzz-a-man" Shultz lives in, and assume that the Federal Gov't isn't too big, and should do more because it's helping turn this economy around.  Now that we have gum drops instead of rain, and the only pitfall is avoiding the unicorn crap on the ground, and the constitution is made of rubber, we can bend it to the will and whim of our "democracy".  Is there anything, anything at all that the federal government can't take control of?  YOU WILL encounter people in this country that think that there is no problem too small for the federal gov't to deal with.  The states just have to mirror the fed, they aren't allowed to think for themselves, and they sure as hell better not enact laws that disagree with the fed policy, or they will get sued by the Fed.  What do we need state gov't for?   The next logical progression of this progressive world is to subjugate the individual to the good of the whole.  This means that if you are a great maker of toothpics, and you want to get into making tennis rackets, too bad, the state needs you making toothpics.  Sounds too Orwellian, huh? 
  We are at a crossroads this election cycle.  We have been taken on a collision course with some very tough times.  As Britain is set aside in Europe, and Europe is consolidating under the financial strain of leftists...Russia is rattling sabres, China is looking for energy and the Middle East is wide open as we lose all our allies in the region.  Is there anything else that needs to happen to make 1936 sound all-to-familiar?  Maybe we can have a grassroots effort in the US to blame the Jews on Wallstreet for everyone's problems, and then allow Palestinians gain statehood in the UN which should make Israel very secure with their arsenal...hmmm, perhaps the only thing we are missing in this orgy of idiocy is a leader?  Who do we want to lead us...maybe a MESSIAH ordained by the poor for his titmouse promises of everything to everyone?  FDR is so loved by the left for all his feelgood policies...of which every one is broke, or dragging down other aspects of the economy.  FDR also appointed 8 of 9 supreme court appointees in the 30's and 40's which watered down the constitution in order for him to seize power which has never been ceded back to the states.  or...
   Do we need someone who is defiantly against military action without congressional approval?  Someone who wants the States to deal with State issues like education, health care, labor relations, energy policy and transportation.  Maybe the federal gov't could then solve the issues it is charged with in the constitution?  maybe?  But one thing is certain, we wouldn't need all those people in the gov't wasting our money.  They could be added to the list of qualified, unqualified, semi qualified and overqualified people looking for work.  Yes, that sounds like a bad thing, but it isn't.  Think about this, if we fired every person who isn't elected to office in the gov't, then had everyone apply again, but the budgets are cut by 50%, are the lazy idiots going to get rehired?  nope, the good ones would, and the lazy idiots go back to what they are supposed to do...starve, or find a talent or skill to survive.  Anyone that thinks they are too good to pick strawberries, but still want a paycheck without doing anything constructive, SHOULD STARVE TO DEATH.  For the good of the State.

The Making of a Liberal

What makes a liberal tick?  Is it compassion?  Does screaming about taking money from "the rich" to give to those "without" equal compassion?  If not, then what does?  How about giving money to a charitable organization?  What if you write it off your taxes, is it any less meaningful?  Does it mean more to give to the poor through government agencies that haven't made any progress in the war on poverty in decades, or through a church or private organization that works with these people directly in their neighborhoods?  Perhaps compassion is not measurable, how about "fairness"?
  Many of us were reared hearing "Life's not fair, get over it." while others were coddled and told that they are entitled to more because others had more.  Where does this come from?  Who started the rumor that the rich got rich by taking it from where the poor's share was?  Where is this sense of fairness in the following scenerio? 
     A boy studies in High School, goes to college, studies and works part-time...learning how to manage his time, take on responsibilities, earn what he makes and see the value of his time...OR the guy who blows off High School, skips college, or smokes enough weed and skates through until his folks are tired of subsidizing his Van Wilder lifestyle...then he bags groceries or is a barrista at a coffee shop but barely makes rent every week between the smokes, booze and xbox.  He knocks up some random one night stand, hits 30 and has no savings, job experience, skills or discipline, but FEELS that it's not fair the other guy doesn't worry about rent.  The other guy is worried about where the kid (who was created after financial security and a wedding) is going to go to private school...aint it funny how "cause" and "effect" work?
   Take someone with off the charts talent...like Mike Tyson or any basketball player that got caught up in the lifestyle until he was too old to compete...but didn't have any skills at money management.  Is it fair they had opportunities very few could have?  Is it anyone else's fault they squandered the earning years of their profession?  Should someone else have to pay for their incompetance or poor habits and money management?  This kind of shortsightedness starts somewhere...I wonder:
   In Clark County Nevada, we are telling public school kids that it is GOOD to get welfare, school lunches and gov't assistance.  There's no shame in your mom and dad not caring enough to even make sure you are fed.  You deserve fried hashbrowns, processed meat and rehydrated veggies that end up in the trash anyhow.  Too bad mommy couldn't find time or $.30 to make you a goddamned PB&J.  This is what our schools do now, they educate the kids on how to get food stamps, section 8 housing and then if they are teased for being unloved bastards of the state, the bully is disciplined.  hahaha, Good thing the democrats who KNOW this is sick, well, they put their kids in private school.  Sickening.  I'm sure they FEEL badly about it.   When stupid and lazy start hurting more, less of our population will continue to do it, or they'll be culled out of society.  Either way...this village is screwing up it's idiots very early.
