Doubt me?

For those who doubt that the government actually wants to have complete control of the populace, just look at what POTUS is attempting to do now. He wants to set "guidelines" for executive pay for those companies receiving bailout money. Tell the truth Mr. President, you want to control the amount of money we may earn. I'm comforted knowing that the government is now going to tell me how much I can earn. This is wrong on so many levels. First of all we're capitalists, not communists. This is nothing more than class warfare in its most despicable form.

Think this through people! These companies that we have bailed out would like to recover and be profitable again someday. Not now. They won't be able to bring in the talent needed to accomplish the goal. Here's what I mean. Two companies are fighting for their life in this economic downturn. They each want to bring in a person who has made a career of bringing companies out of the financial wilderness. The first company, which received bailout money and is subjected to the brilliant business minds of the Obama administration and his compensation "guidelines", can only offer a salary based on what the government says he's worth and caps his bonus potential for turning things around at one-third of his salary. The second company in our scenario has not received any bailout money and has a very aggressive board of directors that is committted to bringing in the best person for the job no matter what the cost, as long as he performs. They offer him the gaudy salary, insane bonuses and a golden parachute. Which company will find the brightest and best business minds to come in and save their companies? Which companies get whoever is left and struggle to survive and quite possibly fail? Which company would you work for? The one that is willing to commit to you and reward you for your business skills and years of knowledge, or the company that really isn't able to compensate you for all your qualifications? It's a no-brainer. Not only are the companies that received the government money going to find it more difficult to survive, the taxpayers are the ones who really get the shaft when these companies go tango uniform and those billions of dollars we shelled out to save them are gone.

Now the average dumb masses of this country believe that this is okay to do because they're just the evil rich who make too much money anyway. We should tell them how much they can make, right? Well, what happens when the government expands this power to include your line of work and job skill? What happens when it's your experience that means nothing to the federal govenment? And what happens when the tax revenue from all those rich people, who are no longer rich, doesn't come in to the coffers of the almighty federal government and everybody's taxes go through the roof to recover those losses? Good, at least we showed those rich people, didn't we?

Let's face it, this administration and the Democrat party are steering our country towards bankruptcy. They are stealing from my son and his son the ability to enjoy the same economic freedoms and pursue the same American Dream that all Americans have had until now. It's already gone. It saddens me that this generation doesn't even care that their kids will not have the same chance at success that we had. What a disgrace. I fear that we as a people have grown far too soft and weak. We'd rather have security over freedom. And in the end, we will have neither. Fascism is on the way. Doubt me?

Betrayed

The Supreme Court of The United States of America has betrayed the American people. The very people they have sworn to protect have been viciously betrayed and discarded for political expediency. It is a sad day today in America when the judicial branch, designed to protect and defend the people from those who would seek to impose tyranical power over them, is itself nothing more than a servant to those seeking to "reign" over the American people. It is painfully obvious that the assault on our courts by the socialist movement of the Democrat party has been a sweeping and total victory.

The "little guy" that the left champions itself as the servant and protector of just got screwed, along with the "rule of law" and our Constitution.

U.S. Code. Title 11. Chapter 5. Sub-chapter 1(creditors and claims).506 of the Bankrupcy Laws of The United States of America expressly outlines the order of interest in bankruptcy proceedings. The Imperial Federal Government of The United States of America and the United Auto Workers Union and it's employees, who have NO SECURED INTEREST OR COLLATERAL in Chrysler Corporation, are CLEARLY SUBORDINATE to the secured creditors. These secured creditors include financial instititions with which Chrysler has put up collateral for loans, and the bondholders, which include the State of Indiana's Teachers Union, Police and Firemen's Unions, of which Chrysler also put up collateral for operating resources. This act of collusion between the Executive and Judicial branches of government in order to subvert the Constitutional provisions of the United States for the sole purpose of pandering to the Auto Workers Union, who, by the way contributed over TWENTYFOUR MILLION DOLLARS to the Obama campaign, is completely abhorrant and disgraceful! Even more disgraceful is the way that the "watch dog" media has turned its head and will do NOTHING to protect the American people. I find myself disgusted and almost ashamed to be an American today. It is true that the American citizen has no legal recourse or voice in the machinations of our government any longer. It also is true that the average American citizen finds American Idol, Entertainment Tonight, WWE and it's next six pack more important than the mundane issues of the day such as the erosion of our basic freedoms, the disregard for the rule of law, taxes, or a nuclear Iran and ever more aggressive North Korea. We don't care that Islamic terrorists captured on a foreign battlefield are being given the same rights as an American citizen. Our free fall into socialism (really it's more closely alligned with Fascism, but to explain that would significantly challenge the intellect of the average government educated person of this country), appears to be more the inevitable than just the possible, but who cares? All we want to know is who the celebutard of the day is sleeping with now.

My conclusion....who really cares?

Alright, alright, I'll tell. In Socialism the government owns the businesses and therefore controls them. In Fascism the businesses are still privately owned, but controlled by the government. That's really where we are right now. Obama doesn't want to outright own the businesses of America(yet), He (and the National Socialist/Democrat Party) just want to have complete control over them through TARP loans, laws and government regulations (oversight). Wake up America, here come the new Nazis.

All Drugged Up

Updates will be slow in coming here for a while. I've got a pinched nerve in my neck that is really causing me alot of pain and suffering right now. C-5 and C-6 are the main culprits. My left arm feels like it is constantly waking up from a good sleep, it won't stop. The index finger and thumb on my left hand are numb and extremely sensitive to anything warm or cold. Typing is a slow one handed process. Thank God for spell checker. The good news is that I will not be required to go under the knife. My MRI came back with a very good report on that end. It's just going to take a good many trips to the bone cracker to get me back in shape. NO SURGERY NEEDED = BIG PRAISE REPORT FOR THE POSITIVE RESULTS OF PRAYER!!! God is good. Medication is too!!!! He gave the scientists the brains to develop medicine. The only bad thing is, is that they only take the edge off, they don't exactly give me that "happy" feeling. They take the edge off and leave me half brain dead. Great, now the other half won't work either!!!

Anyway, my brain can barely put two words together right now, and by the time my one good hand catches up I've already forgotten the rest of what I thought might be a decent observation of current events. So I guess the only thing left to read will be the musings of a one-armed, drugged-up, pain-in-the-neck!

I believe that our country is slowing starting the swirl in its inevitable flush in the toilet to Socialism.

Pics of the kid

Getting ready for the big game. You can never start too young!!













I know that I'm biased and my vote doesn't count, but ya gotta admit...He's a cutie!!!





















One of the few cool things about living in Florida...Just step out your front door and watch the shuttle take off.

Bumper Stickers

How about some politically insensitive bumper stickers:

1. Vote Stupid, Vote DUMB-O-CRAT

2. Democrat= Kill the unborn, Save the Murderer
Republican= Save the unborn, Kill the Murderer

3. I'm a white, male, evangelical, pro-life, gun toting, right-wing veteran terrorist suspect

4. Have you hugged your teleprompter today?

5. Stand up Chuck!!

6. Uh..uuhhh, uh. The teleprompter must be skipping again.

In the beginning...

I'm new to this. My wife, Linda, has encouraged me to put "pen to paper", so to speak, about my musings on current events, history and maybe even take a look at our future.

I, like many people today, am concerned over the events that are taking place in this country today. The country that I was priviliged to grow up in has slipped away and I fear that it will be a thing of antiquity by the time I am able to teach my son what it is to be an American. I fear that for him America will no longer be "that shining city on a hill" that President Reagan spoke of with such optimism and pride. I fear that to be an American will be a dirty word for him. We will be just another nation among nations of this planet. How depressing. I hope that this will not be so. I, you can rest assured, will teach him that he was fortunate enough to be born in the greatest nation this world has ever known. We were the upstarts that defeated the greatest empire of their time to become a free people with rights that no government could take away...or so they thought. They didn't foresee us voting away our God given rights at the ballot box, or willfully giving our freedoms away for "security" or "political correctness" or in order to be "enviornmentally friendly". We have fought more wars to defend the rights of others than anyone else in the history of this planet. And unlike the true conquerors and colonial powers of the past, we did not keep the lands we liberated or demand tribute or loyalty in the future from these peoples. They were again allowed self rule. Your welcome France! I digress. I guess what I'm going to attemp here is to talk about how good our country really is. I'm going to blow my top from time to time, that's a given with the way things are being handled right now, but it will not all be negative, bash bash bash.

I'll be putting up links to site and news that I find interesting. Pics of the baby. Yes, you people will be stuck with watching the most beautiful man-child in the world grow up. JD was an unexpected gift from God. My wife and I were told that we probobly would not have kids, so He is very, very, very loved.....not quite spoiled, just loved. So this is it. Enjoy.
