The Conservative Talk Show Hosts Are Idiots

Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Andrew Wilkow, David Webb, and, yes, Rush Limbaugh – You all are complete and total buffoons. You are idiots.

Let me elaborate on that statement just a little. These conservative radio/tv talk show hosts sit behind their microphones touting the advantages of conservatism and the hoaxes of the far-left wing’s liberalism. Each and every day, Monday through Friday and sometimes on the weekends, the airwaves are filled with their right-wing rhetoric. They call out the liberals on their lies and hypocrisy. Sometimes they answer their listener’s calls and comment on those opinions. In other words – they do exactly what the liberal hosts do in the opposite.

Why does that make them buffoons and idiots? It is rare that a liberal will call in and they answer that call. On the occasions that they do take those calls they usually talk over them. I’ve listened to Tucker Carlson shut down liberal guests on his show by not letting them answer questions fully. I’ve heard Hannity, Levin and Limbaugh do the same thing. I do have to admit that Levin did a great job in letting that psychiatrist woman put out her opinion on Trump the other day. You know, the one that diagnosed Trump as being ‘dangerous’ to the world because of his narcissism and mental instability?

What these conservatives don’t do is tell the whole truth. They don’t say that Trump can be a childish egotist. That his tweeting is middle school mentality at times. That his name-calling is consistent with a five-year-old most of the time, especially when it comes to other world leaders (Rocket Man come to mind?). They stick with the accolades of his accomplishments and what he is trying to do.

It doesn’t matter that minority unemployment is at record lows. It doesn’t matter that he has quashed the ISIS threat. It doesn’t matter that the stock market is at record highs. It doesn’t matter that he’s doing everything he can to secure our southern border. It doesn’t matter that he instigated the largest tax cuts in years and put more money into middle America’s pockets. All that matters is that the whole truth is spoken.

If these conservative talk show hosts would just open up and say that Donald J Trump isn’t a saint. If they would just say that he’s not gotten North Korea to dispose of their nuclear weapons and that Iran will never adhere to any deal they make with America. Maybe they should tell their listeners that China might agree to a free-trade deal but when the Democrats win back the White House it will go back to stealing our intellectual property and putting tariffs back on our products going into China while not paying America a dime.

His mental capacities are waning. He’s 70-some years old and everyone knows that Alzheimer’s has got to be setting in. He speaks out against Omar, Tlaib, AOC, Nancy, and Chuck more and more instead of praising them for their inability to work with him on any issue. He stands by Israel which is, as everyone knows, the bane of the world because of its’ desire to survive as a sovereign nation against every other country’s demands for its’ annihilation. He expects North Korea and China to stand by any deal made with them and that Russia will not interfere with any other country in the world.

Another way to prove that Trump is losing his mind is by his insults against the far-left-wing liberals that are campaigning for the 2020 election. Sleepy, Creepy Joe Biden who doesn’t even know where he is most of the time shouldn’t be disparaged. After all, he was the Vice President of the United States and has served in Congress for decades. Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, can’t help it that she lied about her heritage to gain power and influence. Corey “Spartacus” Booker was just making his point when he spouted off during the Senate hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. This name-calling has got to stop.

The conservative radio/tv hosts should bring all this up while expounding on the virtues of conservatism and the Constitution. Which brings me to another issue. The Constitution of the United States of America. It was written and ratified over two hundred years ago. The Founding Father could not have expected people today to follow the Law of the Land to the letter. They didn’t expect the country to have over a billion people living here and importing millions every year. They couldn’t have foreseen the advent of a police force that was militarily equipped and able to respond within minutes to any call for help that might need to be answered in seconds. Why would they expect the country to become a two-party political system where one party uses the press against the other on an hourly basis? Did they think that law enforcement would ever forget about unreasonable search and seizure or presumption of innocence?

All these conservative hosts do is talk about the rights and freedoms that have been fought for since the beginning. That just isn’t right. They need to address the feelings and wants of every single individual that might be offended by words or presumed actions against them. They need to start advocating for the murder of unborn (and in some states the barely born). They need to stand up for boys wanting to use the girl’s bathroom because boys are being turned into effeminate wimps by the immoral minority. They should agree that every single person that wants to come to America to take what we have and not give anything in return should be able to. Borders are just imaginary lines drawn on a piece of paper; except when that border is a wall around a multi-million-dollar estate owned and occupied by a liberal.

Back to why these hosts are buffoons and idiots. They are such because they are preaching to the choir. They are the pastors of a great church that sits empty except for the choir. The windows are open, and the doors are not locked. Everyone is welcome and invited in. The only problem is that the ones that need to hear the message won’t listen and the ones that listen don’t need to hear it, they know it. They talk to Congress over the airwaves. They talk to the liberal left over the airwaves. They are idiots because they actually believe that the left is listening to them just as the pastor believes his message is getting to the ones that need it the most but are preaching to an empty congregation.

To the very few that they do get to, it doesn’t matter because they have been brainwashed into believing that all conservatives lie and twist the truth. The few liberals that I have listened to on these radio shows wouldn’t change their minds for love nor money. Well, maybe money. Maybe but doubtful. It does absolutely no good to talk about any of it. It doesn’t change a thing. It didn’t change the liberal’s belief that Trump had colluded with the Russians for over two years when every bit of evidence showed it was the Clinton campaign colluding and obstructing justice. They will not change their minds.

Until the brainwashing stops it won’t change. I am all for freedom of the press and speech. I don’t have to agree with the opposition. But when the press usurps its responsibility and becomes propaganda for a political belief that goes against the Constitution and everything that has made America what she is, then maybe that freedom should be curtailed just a bit. With great power comes great responsibility.

Yes, Hannity, Levin, Wilkow, Webb, Carlson, Limbaugh and the rest of the conservatives on radio and tv are idiots for believing they are actually making a difference by speaking out against the socialism/communism of the liberal left. They aren’t. Even I, as a conservative blogger, am doing nothing to keep America great and free. My message doesn’t get to the ones that need it. Hell, my blog isn’t even read enough to make a difference to a conservative. I could only wish that I had the exposure that radio and tv has.

I’m glad they are there. I just wish that it would actually do some good.

The Self Destruction of the Human Race

Humanity, the species that was given dominion over the Earth and all that was on it by God. The Creator also gave humanity free will which brought about our expulsion from Eden. What else did the great originator of life give to humans? Pride, lust, covetousness, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. For a supposedly omniscient being I don't think he/she thought that one through too thoroughly. Even I, a mere mortal with limited knowledge of the cosmos, can see far enough into the future to realize that the combination of emotions and thought patterns that have been given to humans is a recipe for self annihilation. All you have to do is listen to what is called news and it is plainly obvious that the human race is bent on self-destruction.

Let us not put all the blame on modern man, though. If you are a Christian, and most of the world is today, all you need do is read Genesis. Satan, disguised as a serpent, convinced Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, then to talk Adam into doing the same. Ah, deceit. Granted, that came from the Great Liar. And Eve, being pretty gullible and innocent, took that nasty serpent at his word. Adam was the same. They didn't know any better. Innocence can be so damning.

One small step forward from the expulsion would be the story of Cain and Able. Uh, oh! Here comes even more treachery. This time between men and a lot more bloody. The beginning of mortal crime – murder. Covered up by lying. Oh, what a tangled web we weave. And just think, the Holy Bible is filled from front to back with lies, treachery, murder, thievery, and all other kinds of mortal crimes. Even the Messiah, Jesus Christ, was crucified by his own people because of lies while a real criminal was set free. Sounds a little like our modern day court system.

According to Jewish history, The Jewish diaspora started with the Assyrian conquest and continued with the Babylonian conquest when the Tribe of Judah was exiled to Babylonia in the 6^th century BC (I refuse to be politically correct and be offended by religious references). Christianity started with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth some 2100 years ago. I make these references for examples. Most of the world's population is now Christian yet that religious order is actually fairly young.

I do not profess to be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other organized, main stream religion. Nor will I downgrade or disrespect anyone's beliefs just because those beliefs are not in accord with my own. I believe that whatever makes you happy is fine with me, just don't force me to believe as you do and I won't force you to believe like I do. I just want people to have an open mind and hear what other people think and believe without judgment. I am using Christianity and Judaism as a way of explanation and example only at this time. There are other religions and belief systems that will be used later.

There have been more wars fought in the name of God than for any other reason since the Middle Ages. The Crusades are a good example of that. Here we have the Roman Catholic Church waging war against the Muslim Turks. Why? To protect pilgrims going to the Holy Land. The only problem with that is that Jerusalem was situated in an Arab region. It wasn't until Israel was recognized as a sovereign state in the late 1940's that it became the Christian-Judaeo land that it is today. Even though it is where Christians believe that the Christ was born and raised, the area was Palestinian. Was the Catholic Church wrong for waging war against these people? Especially since they were only protecting what was theirs? It is a moot point now, it's all done and over with. Kind of. The Israelis and Palestinians are still waging war against each other.

Islam has waged jihad against the world since its inception just after 1000 AD. Death to the Infidels! The Quran, from what I understand, is pretty much what the Old Testament is. Death to all nonbelievers and ours is the only true and correct belief system. There are rules that have to be followed and if they aren't, well, too bad, you die a horrible death at the hands of the holy ones. Christians don't want to remember that part of the Book.

Even within the Christian faith there are divisions. Catholicism, Protestant, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Methodist, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Organized and Re-Organized... the list goes on and on. Let us not forget the Orange and the Green. Protestant against Catholic in Ireland. Each denomination has its own belief system. The most humorous thing about all these religious wars between Christians is that they all believe in the same God, the same Holy Trinity, the same Heaven and Hell. The only differences are the pomp and circumstance. Yet there have been wars.

The Jewish people have been persecuted since the beginning of time, I think. Everyone has been against them. Over the millennia they have learned how to protect themselves. Instead of running away from slavery and/or persecutors, they have learned to stand and fight. Especially after the Holocaust (which, by the way, DID happen for all those non-believers out there). Theirs is not an offensive role but a defensive one. All they want is to be left alone and keep a tiny piece of land in the middle of Arab country that contains their most holy city, Jerusalem. Would it be so much to ask to just let them have it?

As stated above, Islam has waged jihad against everyone for the last 1100 years. As the youngest religious order, I really don't think they have a leg to stand on. As with Christianity, there are different orders of this ancient thinking religion and they make war between themselves as well. And, they kill off their own for things that shouldn't even be worried about. Death to gays. Death to adulterers. Death to non-believers. Death to those that eat pork. Death, death, death. Islam, the religion of peace.

Are religious beliefs so ingrained into people's brains that they are willing to die for them? Is any one religion any better than the others? Every religion preaches peace, except Islam, yet one of the major parts of each is to kill others (at least in part; most religious orders today don't believe in killing off the opposition as they once did). Even today there are religious wars; the jihad against all infidels more commonly called the war against terrorism. Hitler killed off Christians and Jews by the millions. Religion has been the cause of more mass extermination of mankind than even greed yet each religion preaches peace. Where is that peace? Where is the tolerance of other's beliefs? In my opinion such things don't exist within any religious thought process.

Greed is the only other reason for wars. Greed of land since the beginning of recorded history. Rome wanted to rule the known world and almost achieved that goal. England, also, wanted to rule all it could and succeeded in conquering lands around the globe. City States of Greece, tribes of ancient civilizations, the Celts, the Normans, the Vikings; all fought to conquer other lands. Even the Indians of the western hemisphere fought each other over land.

Untold millions have died over the millennia at the order of their rulers just so those men of power could gain more. Look at those ancient kingdoms now. Rome is but a city in Italy. England's holdings have diminished to a handful of countries with complete control over only that tiny island resting in the Atlantic Ocean. The Normans, Celts and Vikings have all but disappeared from the face of the Earth. Empires rise and fall across the centuries never lasting very long in the fabric of time. Yet, those that died for those empires believed they were doing what was right and that their rulers, their kingdoms, would last forever. Nothing lasts forever.

What of Germany and Hitler's great ideals of ruling the world with his master race? That ended well for him, didn't it? And what of the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Now a conglomerate of independent nations. Empires, countries, entire regions of continents are conquered and lost over and over again. All the while killing off millions. Isn't this a self-destructive way of thinking? Or is it just population control?

As you can see, our self-destructive tendencies started with the evolution of homo sapiens. Even those very first of mankind were killers. It is theorized that modern humans exterminated the Neanderthals. It is very possible. Mankind has feared what it doesn't know since intelligent thought evolved. Mankind believes that what they don't know will kill them. Why has the government kept secret the existence of alien life? Why has the Church denied the existence of life on other worlds? Fear. Well, fear and egotism. What man fears needs to die before it kills us. Those early humans, the homo sapiens, feared what they didn't understand.

Some scientist theorize that Neanderthal and Homo sapiens co-inhabited and even interbred. Others don't think they lived during the same time period. Still others believe that we evolved from them. No matter how you look at it, something caused the extermination of one species and left the other to survive. Homo sapiens' higher intelligence would account for better survival abilities and thought processes of how to do away with others.

We are killers at our core. Over hundreds of thousands of years that is what we have done to survive, kill. Only, we don't, and haven't, killed just to survive. Mankind has killed out of greed, lust, envy, anger. Sometimes we kill for no reason whatsoever other than to just see someone, or something, else die. That is our self-destructive nature.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is so much truth in that statement it is almost terrifying. Take a look at the political arena today. The hatred shown by the liberals toward Donald Trump is so bad that it has gotten violent. Politicians have been shot, harassed, accosted, humiliated. Elected officials have spoken openly of violence against conservatives, even threatening death. All for more power.

Governments and politicians make laws that do not pertain to themselves. The government is all powerful and is above the law. I'm not just talking nationally and I'm not just talking elected officials. Ever hear of the blue veil of secrecy? You know, the brother's code among lawmen? It doesn't matter what a lawman does he/she will be protected against discovery because all other lawmen will not say anything against them. Hazzard County is alive and well in these United States. Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coletrain are on the job! But, how does this pertain to our self-destruction?

Corruption is one of biggest forms of self-destruction. It is the powerful against the powerless. Millions die because of the powerful in many different ways. While the elite wine and dine extravagantly, the peasant starves. While the elite are protected by walls, gates and guns, the poor are left to the wolves. The Bolshevik Revolution of Russia is a prime example of what can happen when the poor finally get tired of the rich. The Romanov family was executed by the rebels because of their extravagance and not caring about the people they ruled over. Granted, communism wasn't much better for them but at least everyone was poor.

Back before modern technology and instant information, it would take days or weeks for information to travel. If the President sneezed wrong on the East Coast it may take a couple of weeks for the people in the West to hear about it. Was there corruption back then? Of course there was. As long as there is humanity there will be corruption. Was it as bad as it is today? I don't believe so. In the days when corruption would have been much harder to detect, it was less prevalent than it is today with instant communication. When Trump farts in the Oval Office at 02:30, people in South Africa know it by 02:45. Why is it that politicians think that their corrupt ways are kept secret better today than they were before Al Gore invented the internet and cell phones with cameras came along?

People will still lie. That is why. If you don't like someone, lie about them. Tell some ungodly, horrific lie about them that cannot, or it is extremely hard to, be proved or disproved. The public is nothing more than bunch of idiotic sheeple that will believe whatever is told to them by the people in power. If lying doesn't work, just call them racist, xenophobic, bigots, misogynistic, etc. That will get them. What does this all come to? People destroying other people for other reason than they don't like them. We are destroying ourselves over nothing more than emotional prejudice.

We have prisons full of people that made mistakes, from simple, unintended infractions to premeditated murders with a full spectrum in-between. Why? Because humanity is humane. We incarcerate law breakers no matter how insane the broken law is. We refuse to kill the killer but we will drive him/her insane with boredom for twenty to life. We incarcerate the weed smoker because he/she wants to self-medicate or just chill and destroy the refrigerator. Justice is not just because it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, who is innocent or guilty, only what can be proven to the satisfaction of a judge or jury and that has come under scrutiny lately with the Brett Kavanaugh accusations.

Here in the US today it can be seen everywhere. The elitist ruling class push for gun laws to disarm the people, demand that there not be a border wall to keep out undesirables, and want economic equality all while they are protected by walls and guns and huge bank accounts. They don't want to save the people from harm, they want to do away with those pesky little vermin that get in the way of their power. What they don't understand is that once the poor are gone, there will be no one to lord their power over, thus becoming powerless themselves. Just as humanity doesn't realize that once we are done destroying our home (planet Earth) and each other, there will be nothing left. Oxymoron in its finest form. We will destroy ourselves to make things better for ourselves.

I am totally surprised that the human race has lasted as long as it has. There is so much hate, greed, envy, and lust in the world today. People killing each other over nothing. Not to mention the total insanity of some people. Terrorism is at an all time high with radical Islamist jihadists bombing places and running people down with vehicles, radical people of both liberal and conservative ideology trying to kill the other side, foreign nationals violently breaking down national borders to other countries, illegal aliens killing natural citizens and breaking every law the invaded nation has... the list goes on and on and on. Recipe for self-destruction. We are killing ourselves off for no reason. How have we lasted this long?

War is not healthy for children and other living things and you will believe that if I have to kill you to get you there. Modern thought process. Do as I say, not as I do, and, me being the peaceful, tolerant person that I am, will beat the hell out of you if you don't. My agenda is the only right one even if it involves killing unborn children while professing compassion for foreign children, even if it involves tolerance for a certain ideology and intolerance for anyone who doesn't believe that way, even if I profess hatred for my own color because I am tolerant and accepting of a different color, even if I have to lie about my ancestry to get ahead while professing honesty. Hypocrisy is rampant and violence has become the norm for intolerance to that hypocrisy.

As we destroy our own homeworld, we are in search of other planets that are inhabitable by humanity. Mars, the closest planet to Earth, has been a great prospect for colonization. Granted, we would have to nuke both poles to get an atmosphere but that's okay, we'd be able to move there and exploit the planet taking its natural resources to make money with. After a few decades and millions of colonists, Mars would be the twin to Earth. It would be polluted, government would be corrupt, laws would be broken, murder and mayhem would ensue. After a few centuries, if it took that long, we would have to find another planet to move to and destroy.

With all our intellect, all our civilization, all our enlightenment, it is my belief that we are the bane to life. The animal kingdom, those controlled by instinct to survive, are much more civilized than humanity. The lion only kills to eat and protect. Humanity kills for pleasure and sport. We are not even as civil as a congress of baboons. The ape genus is more civilized and organized than homo sapiens. The pride of lions that live on the savanna are more humane than humanity. Crocodiles, sharks, wolves, every living thing in the world that humans fear are only doing what they must to survive. It is humanity that has encroached upon the world, not the animal kingdom. We have destroyed millions of acres of natural beauty and bounty so that we can grow crops to eat. We have killed off hundreds of species of animals for sport and food. We have polluted our land, our air and our water for our own convenience. Most of all, we have overpopulated to the point of no return.

That brings me to the point of sex. The only other species that copulates for pleasure is the dolphin. Humans fornicate for pleasure only. This is proven by the number of abortions that are performed because the participants didn't want to procreate, only orgasm for trade to get something such as drugs. Procreation is not in the thought process when she drops her panties and he whips it out. What do people think is going to happen? They think they're going to get a Sony Playstation once the deed is done?

So here we are, kids becoming parents or killing off the results of unprotected, for pleasure sex. Not that I am against sex mind you. I just don't believe in sex without protection and random sex with whoever happens to be next to you when the bar closes whether you know them or not. If you don't want babies, don't do the dirty. If the only reason you want babies is for an income, either from the sperm donor or the government, don't do the dirty. A baby, a child, is a gift of life not an income or something that should be done away with on a whim. Don't stand up for children's rights if you've every killed an unborn child. Another form of self-destruction... killing unborn children.

I realize that I ramble. My thoughts are as incoherent as a politician's promises. I apologize for that. As I read, or hear, about world events I feel the need to make comments on said events and it may be hours or days or even weeks before I get a chance to write anything down. By then, everything is jumbled up in my mind. One day, I may realize that to edit is to organize. Until that day, a-ramblin' I shall do. Rants and ravings of a demented mind.

So far I have only delved into the powerful against the powerless. Let's take a look at the common man (or woman, or thing, or whatever you want to call yourself). How do we interact between ourselves on the the personal level? As a professional driver for over 30 years I can tell you some horror stories most of which won't mean a thing to you because you don't put up with it on a daily basis. But I'll try to convey the stress that is put upon the nation's most important industry.

A semi-truck can weigh up to, and sometimes more, than 80,000 pounds. That is like 40 times more than your little powder blue Prius. With that kind of weight it takes a pretty good distance to get going up to speed or to stop. Trucks don't do jack rabbit starts and stops like your Prius. Think about a football field from goal post to goal post. That is how far it takes a truck to stop when going 55 miles an hour. It may take up to 3 miles before it can get up to highway speed depending on the weight in the trailer. You have to remember that trucks have nine to 18 gears to go through and the lower five are SLOW.

Drivers today think that they are invincible. Nothing can harm them because the law says you can't run over them. It doesn't matter if you have the RIGHT to cut that truck off. That truck can't stop on a dime. It WILL run over you and you WILL die. The professional driver will survive most likely and have to live with the fact that he/she killed an idiot but that is beside the point. You cut in front of a truck and then hit the brakes because you don't like trucks. You're in the far left lane and you remember your exit ramp is fifteen feet in front of you so... let's cut across three to six lanes of rush hour traffic that is going 50 miles an hour. Self destructive behavior if you ask me. Especially if there is a truck in one of those lanes.

You've been following a truck down the highway. He's been running along about five miles over the speed limit and then you have to go through some little one horse town and slow down to 35. When the speed limit goes back up that truck takes a little time to get back to road speed. Too long for you. You have to get around him no matter what law you have to break. Then, because you're turning off a mile outside that town, you hit the brakes right in front of him. Good way to die.

I have had people pass me on the shoulder. I've had people cut in front of me and almost take my hood off. I've had people speed up when I could get around them and slow down when I couldn't. I've even had people pass me then slam on the brakes. People are bound and determined to kill themselves when they are behind the wheel of their Prius. Why? Because they have to be first, can't let a truck in front of them, they are morons. Tell me how the human race isn't bound for self-destruction.

Radical Islamic Terrorists (yes, I will call the what they are) will do anything to kill the infidels, gang members will do anything to kill other gang members, differing political ideologies will do anything to do away with the opposition. See the trend? We are killing ourselves over nothing when it comes to the grand scheme of the Universe. We are nothing but a speck in this infinite space. Less than a speck. We can kill ourselves, destroy our world, even the entire solar system could disappear and the Universe wouldn't even notice. But we are all we have. This Earth is all we have. If we want to survive we will have make some drastic changes in our thinking.

We will have to change our basic natures if we want to survive as a species. We will have to start taking care of Mother Earth. We will have to learn how not to hate and kill. Is that possible? I have my doubts. Humanity hasn't changed in several millennia and don't see any hope for it in the future. All I see is a world that burns because of hate and greed and religion.

Is It Really Worth It?

     Is it really worth it? I mean, really? In today’s society where being offended is more important than keeping safe, where madness and chaos rule and sanity and calm are persecuted, where caring about another is looked down upon and hedonism is cherished, is it really, really worth it? Is love just something to be taken advantage of because it shows weakness?

     Ok, we have the liberals that are doing everything they can to destroy the Constitution, except the parts that they want for themselves (conservatives aren’t allowed any rights). They want to do away with freedom of religion (at least the right to practice Christianity), free speech (as long as it comes from conservatives), the right to keep and bear arms (except for law enforcement and their army of security people), protection from illegal search and seizure (except when it comes to their illegal activity which is totally within their rights to do, such as Hillary’s email server). Do you see where this is going?

     The problem is this; the conservatives aren’t doing a damn thing about what the liberals are doing. The Republicans in Congress sit back and cower, kowtowing to the liberal rants and giving them ground instead of standing up and fighting for our rights. Thank the gods of Asgard that Patton, McArthur, Washington, etc., all the great generals in each war we’ve been in since the American Revolution, wasn’t so fucking weak. We would have lost to the British, twice; we would have lost to the Mexicans, the Germans, the Viet Cong (oh, sorry, we DID lose to the Viet Cong). We are losing to the liberal left.

     We are sitting here, spending millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars on bogus investigations against Trump when the Clinton’s and Obama were given passes on all their crimes that COULD be proven. It is only allegations, rumor, mainstream media bias and a lot of ‘anonymous sources’ that are against Trump and Company. Yet, the Republicans are doing just what the liberals want – going along with their game against America.

     Is it really worth it? When actual crimes can be overlooked because they are committed by the liberals and rumored crimes are investigated beyond belief against a conservative it is beyond stupid. It is anti-American politics. It isn’t worth it anymore.

Facebook posts being deleted when they are anti-Muslim (actually anti-ISIS). Is it wrong to put out there what the fucking bastards are doing? Is it wrong to state facts that not all Muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are Muslim? Is it wrong to be wary of ‘refugees’ from ISIS controlled countries?

     I am not politically correct in any way, shape or form. I call a spade a spade and a terrorist a terrorist. I’m not racist or anti-gay. That being said, if you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. If words hurt you so bad go live in a bloody monastery. I will not, under ANY circumstances give up my right to free speech because of your feelings. No one bothered about my feelings when I was growing up and I learned to live with it all. If you don’t get your precious little feelings hurt then you don’t grow and learn other’s viewpoints. All you do, if you won’t let anyone hurt your feelings, is live in a bubble and don’t get a thick enough skin to survive this journey we call life.

     Is it really worth it? Stupidity and idiocy run amok while common sense and intelligence is ridiculed and persecuted. All you have to do is turn on CNN, MSNBC, Fox; read the New York Times, Washington Post, Oregonian or even the Des Moines Register; watch NBC, CBS or ABC.       Here in the United States it is getting worse and worse with the open arms policy of protecting criminal illegal aliens but in Europe it is so much more dangerous with their government’s open arms policies. The peace-loving citizens of the world are allowing the terror inducing RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS to just take over. They have said for decades that the world would become Islamic. They were right and every other religion, ideology, form of government, etc., are ALLOWING IT AND EVEN INVITING IT.

     Is it really worth it? As an over the road driver I see a LOT of stupid. Never underestimate the stupidity of people behind the wheel of a vehicle. Construction zones where it bottlenecks into one lane is a prime example: people will run up the lane that is ending at full throttle until the lane ends then stops all traffic just to get into the open lane. Three miles back there was a sign that informed traffic what was happening; doesn’t matter: gotta get in front of everyone else. There are also those idiots that just have to get in front of that truck, no matter what traffic laws they break to do it, just to slow that truck down. Where did these people learn to drive???? Stupid, stupid, stupid…. Idiotic, idiotic, idiotic. All because of some undeserved sense of self-worth that makes some think they are more important than everyone else.

     Is it all worth it? We elect politicians to represent us in government. That is the way the Founding Fathers set up this experimental government. Over the years these politicians have learned that they are above any laws they pass. All they have to do is state in said law that Congress is exempt. REALLY? Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Our elected officials have become absolutely corrupted. Once again, listen to the ‘news’ on the radio or television or read the ‘news’papers. When we get someone in office that is NOT a politician, the politicos do everything they can to destroy that person because he is NOT corrupted by politics. He may be corrupted by wealth and business but not politics.

     Is it all worth it? I have been called racist, fascist, bigoted, homophobic, islamaphobic, and a host of other things that really don’t describe me. I AM racist; I’ve gotten to hate the HUMAN RACE. As for hating any nationality, religion, color, creed, etc., nah. I love my black boys that call me dad. I love my Russian/Ukrainian boys that call me dad; I have friends that are Mexican, Puerto Rican, Guatemalan, Korean, English, Welsh, Malaysian, Australian, etc. I have known Palestinians, Catholics, Jews, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Methodists, Hindus, atheists, Pagans, heathens, etc. Yep! I’m a racist.

     Fascist? According to the Oxford American dictionary, the definition of fascism is: 1) a right-wing system of government with extreme nationalistic beliefs. 2) an attitude that is very intolerant or right-wing. Well, I guess they have the ‘right-wing’ and ‘nationalistic’ parts of it right. I have noticed, though, that it is the left that has become very intolerant. I, myself, have been very tolerant of the liberal rants against the Trump Train, albeit with my own comments following said rants.

     I am not even going to go any further with explaining myself or my beliefs. It doesn’t really matter to anyone anyway. Suffice it to say that I am NOT what the left thinks I am.

     So, I ask: Is it all worth it? Is this journey through life worth all the bullshit that the human race piles upon each other? Is it worth the lies, deceit, corruption, greed, etc.? Is it worth all the protests against free speech, owning weapons? Is it worth it to fight against open borders, extreme tax and spend, taking from those that earn and giving to those that refuse to work? There are times that I definitely feel like putting the bottle to my head and pulling the trigger. Is it really worth it?

     There are a few things that I have in my life that make all the bullshit worth every minute: my children (Jennifer, Andrew, Jaquie, Michael), my grandkids (Destiny, Ryan, Oktober, Nova), my ‘adopted’ kids (Travon, Malcolm, Max, Misha, Julian, Josh), even my ‘adopted’ grandkids (Alex, Danny, the Bentley’s, Tucker, Lorelei, and a few others that I claim that belong to friends). I even happen to have a few friends that make it all worth it (actually too many to list, amazingly enough).        Things don’t make life worth living, things make life easier. Family, friends, loved ones are what make life worth living. Even though friends may come and go and family my disown you, it is the camaraderie, the love, the sharing of special moments with those people that make even the shortest time seem like a lifetime. Each person comes into your life for a short time and for a special reason only to leave when their time with you is up. Still, that is what makes it all worth it.

     So, is it really worth it? In a word: yes.

Is The World Crazy Or Is It Just Me?

As I look around, listen to things, observe people, I have to wonder: has the world gone crazy or is it just me? With societal changes that are so dramatic as to make one’s head spin, a nation so divided that people are at each other’s throats over the smallest of things, a president that is so embattled by the opposing party that he can’t take a breath without someone accusing him of some form of cover up, Christianity is persecuted while the bane of the Earth, as far as religions go, is held in high esteem, and terrorists run loose seemingly without bounds. Has the entire world gone bat shit crazy?

Here in the good old United States of America, a country that isn’t even 250 years old, we have the right to free speech. At least we did until the last administration. Now, if a person has a conservative point of view he is silenced by the far left wing liberals. Colleges are allowing their liberal students to riot if a conservative speaker is there thus making it impossible for that speaker to utter a word. Social media is almost as bad. I have several liberal friends on my Facebook that constantly tell me how idiotic and brain dead I am because I believe in keeping America what the Founding Fathers set it up to be.

What is America? Is it a socialist country where the government has to tell the citizens how to live their lives or is it a Constitutional Republic based on free enterprise and self-reliance? In the early days of this young nation the Constitutional Delegates met to set up the government of this brand new nation. They deliberated and debated for months on just what to write down as the Law of the Land. What they came up with was the Constitution that is so proudly displayed in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. This historic document stated, in no uncertain terms, just what our federal government was responsible for and if it wasn’t specifically enumerated in that document, then the States had the authority. This limited the power of the Federal Government.

Today, the Federal Government has grown so large and bureaucratic that it controls the people. What was a country with a government has now become a government with a country. Congress sits in the Capitol legislating what the people can and can’t do while excusing themselves from a lot of those laws. Where the people once had to support themselves and their families, now the government has decreed that ‘from those that have to those that have not.’ Sounds a little like Marxism: from each according to his ability to each according to his need. It doesn’t matter whether that person that ‘needs’ even tries to earn his/her own keep, the rest of the country has to support him/her. Excluding the elderly, the disabled and those that, for some good reason, cannot work to support themselves, the rest of these people should learn the lesson of – if you don’t work, you don’t eat.

What once was a proud, Christian based morality has become a lesson in tolerance for all things hedonistic. Christianity is shelved while Islam is taught and put forth as a person’s right to religious freedom. What once was ‘a man is a man and it’s a man’s job to support his family’ has become ‘if you are a man’s man you are a racist, fascist, anti-feminist pig.’ It’s perfectly fine for a man to dress in a mini skirt and go into the women’s restroom and if anyone says anything different they are an intolerant homophobe. Where there were once secure borders with immigration laws there are now open borders and illegals are given driver’s licenses, housing, a job, welfare, and the right to vote with no fear of deportation. Hell, they don’t even have to speak English – they’ll be given a translator at the taxpayer’s expense. It has become a bad thing to be a white, American citizen.

Where once the FBI was the premier law enforcement agency in the world it has let illegal distribution of classified material go unprosecuted while it spends millions of dollars on investigating the unsubstantiated allegations of collusion with a foreign nation during a rigged election where the wrong party won. Where the Constitution says that a person must be natural born citizen to become president we allowed a person of questionable nationality to reign for eight years. While that man was in office he did all he could to undermine the power and respect of the United States across the world. He praised Islam and denigrated Christianity. He aided and abetted our enemies while turning his back on our allies.

Yes, I believe the world, at least this small part of it, has gone crazy. Or, maybe, it is I that have gone crazy and what I once believed this nation stood for, how it was established, what it meant to be an American, what our government was supposed to be and the very foundation of our nation was all a dream that I had turned into my own reality. It is totally possible that it is I that is mad and not the liberal left that is so determined to undermine the present conservative administration.

I was in a conversation just yesterday about the present administration and how the country was going. I think that the Trump Train is doing a pretty good job seeing as how the liberal left are constantly yelling about Russian collusion and cover-up on everything that is said out of the White House. The thing about it is that there were about four people that kept telling me that I was nuts, crazy, a socialist, a fascist and was afraid of anyone that wasn’t a white Christian American. Funny thing about it is that I have a lot of friends that are immigrants, black, mixed nationality and different religions. Guess that makes me afraid of the rest of the world and I should stick to middle America where there aren’t any people that could possibly harm my fragile American patriotism.

I’ve been called a homophobe because I believe that men should use the men’s room and women should use the women’s room. I have several friends that are gay, a couple that are transgender and a lot of friends that are undecided or ‘closet’ gays. Just because I, myself, don’t want to start women’s clothes or change my gender doesn’t mean that I want to keep others from it. I just don’t want some dude going into the bathroom with my wife, mom, sister, daughter, granddaughter, etc. That’s why we have separate facilities for opposite genders. It’s called civilization.

Just because I want a free nation, smaller government, less governmental control over my life, self-reliance unless unavoidable help is needed temporarily, secure borders and illegal aliens deported, a ban on Islamic migrants and refugees because of the terrorist activities of the Radical Islamics, government not being involved in the business sector such as insurance, fair and lower taxation, getting rid of the corruption in government, no sanctuary cities, counties or states, keeping our inalienable rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and using the Constitution as it was written and intended, not ‘interpreted’ to suit a political agenda does not mean that I am an imbecile, crazy, a fascist, a homophobe, anti-woman, etc. It means that I am an American that believes in the Constitution and the core values set forth by the Founding Fathers.

I was not happy when Barack Hussein Obama was elected and even less happy when he was elected to a second term. Did I riot? Did I protest? Did I keep the liberals from talking their ideology? No on all points. Did I complain about him not presenting proof that he was a natural citizen? Did I call him a wannabe king? Yes. Why? Because his nationality was in question; his mother was an American and his father was from the Middle East. He said he was born in Hawaii yet that state said they did not issue his certificate of live birth. He registered in college as a foreign student under the name of Barry Soteros. He never did produce any college transcripts, either. He said he was a professor of Constitutional law yet it was discovered he was a guest lecturer of Constitutional law… this a professor does not make. As for me calling him a wannabe king, well, when you act like royalty then it seems as though that is what you wannabe.

I could go on and on about all the anti-American policies and actions Mr Obama instituted but that is not what this article is about. It is about whether the world is crazy or just me. The liberal left call me crazy because I state the truth about their ‘saviour’ and disagree with everything he stands for. So, dear reader, I am going to leave it up to you whether it is I or the rest of the world that is crazy. I’ll just sit over here in the corner with my crayons and construction paper while you decide. You can call me on the can phone when you come to your decision.

Relationships Today: Just a Little Advice

I think I’m going to do something a little different this weekend. Instead of something really controversial like politics or religion I’m going to delve into the realm of relationships. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, who am I to give out advice on something that I can’t even keep together? In answer to that question I will reply that I am very experienced in what NOT to do. After being married three times, three times divorced, having children with all three, I would like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what is going on. I may be wrong on that but I’m going to go with it anyway.

I got married the first time when I was twenty and she was eighteen. She wanted away from home and I wanted someone there. Trust me when I say that when a relationship is built like that it will never work out. Two years later, after she and I were separated, along came a beautiful baby girl. Was I ready to be a parent in any way, shape or form? Not on your life. Thank the gods that my ex-wife was a hell of a lot more mature than I was. My daughter grew to be a fantastic woman with children of her own that have grown into pretty great young people. When my daughter was around three I surrendered parental rights and let her step-dad adopt her. I thought I was doing the right thing.

Relationship number two, that ended in marriage and divorce, came along a few years later when I was 27. I met this girl while I was servicing a truck where I worked. I was covered in grease and oil and this cute little thing came wandering into the shop and started complaining about being stood up by some sop that had made a movie date with her. As it ended up my buddy and I got cleaned up and we both took her to the drive in movie. It was a triple feature that I have no idea what was playing. We talked through the whole damn thing. My buddy? He sat along the wall of the drive in bored out of his mind.

This girl had a three year old boy that was adorable. He came to me one day and asked if I minded if he called me ‘Dad.’ My heart melted. After we got married I adopted him. He was a great kid and I love him as much as if he was my own blood. But, once again, the fates decided that this wasn’t the one, either. We fought constantly about everything. I was a jealous SOB and she was an eighth Crow Indian and had an evil streak that made her want to stir me up.

I was working for Schwan’s at the time and came home one night to a note on the pillow. Yeah! Can you believe that old cliché? I wasn’t sober for about three or four months. I quit working for Schwan’s and went back to real trucking.

Number three was a few months later. I picked her up in a truck stop where she was hitch hiking. It was in Columbia, MO and she was trying to get to Minneapolis. You just don’t get from the middle of Missouri to southern Minnesota very easily. I gave her ride from there to Indiana and then back to Des Moines and put her on a truck headed to Minneapolis. A couple of months later she was back and in the truck with me.

To make this story shorter, in the ten years we were together we moved from Des Moines to Portland, my beautiful baby daughter was born four months after her mother turned eighteen and my son was born two and half years later. My boy was born in New York while I was still in Portland, OR. Yeah, I’m a dick and she thought I wasn’t paying enough attention to her so she took my daughter across the country for a year. She came back to Portland and then we moved around the country while I was trucking again. We ended up in Fremont, NE where it finally came to an end.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Every time I got married it was forever but, there is that little problem of me being a dick. When I got together with the last one I told her that I didn’t own her and she didn’t own me; as long as my children were taken care of she did what she wanted and I was not going to change my lifestyle of trucking. I didn’t cheat on her. I am NOT that kind of driver. I am loyal to a fault and once committed that is all she wrote. No.3 and I never fought until that last night when she walked out on me and the kids.

Throughout all three of these relationships there is one common denominator: my attitude that I was not owned by anyone and I was going to do what I wanted regardless. Don’t get me wrong, I did my best to take care of my family and my children are my world. That was probably the biggest thing, I paid more attention to my kids than the other half. Not the best way to keep a relationship together.

In any relationship it has to be a two way street. It cannot just go one way. Give and take and if you give a little more than you take then it will, more than likely, stay together; if there is any chance that one is taking more than the other it will end in disaster. Communication is just as important. If you can’t talk things through, you get angry and go to bed that way, you will end up as bitter enemies. You have to be able to compromise in all things. And, this one is very important, if you try to change someone that you are with, you’ve lost. You didn’t fall in love with what you want to change them into. You fell in love with what they are.

In today’s world I’ve watched these kids from 14 to 20 do their utmost to get into a serious relationship and have kids. Stupidest thing they could do. These kids are just as immature as we were back in the 70’s but they think they are much more grown up. I throw down the BS card on that. These girls today think they can be moms at 14, 16, 18 years old. They can’t. And these boys won’t be ready to be dads until they reach about 30.

I’ve seen girls destroy boy’s lives because they didn’t get what they wanted, which was to have a baby, and then if they do get what they want, they destroy that poor boy’s life and her own. Well, maybe not destroy but definitely make it exponentially harder. Life is NOT easier with a baby on your hip. When I was young and you had a child, that child was yours to take care of. Today, I constantly see posts on Facebook or hear girls cry because they need time off from their children. These girls seem to think that having a living child is like taking care of that stupid doll they have in high school independent living class. It isn’t.

Who is to blame for this social problem? I blame us. By ‘us’ I mean the parents of these children that think they are grown up at 14. We have become so complacent and relaxed in parenting that these kids are basically raising themselves. That doesn’t bring about morally adept children. They start sleeping with the opposite sex at 14 just to have someone to sleep next to. Next thing you know they’re doing the dirty with whoever it is next to them without protection and then, BAM, they’re pregnant and think they’re gonna get a Sony TV. Oh, sorry. That baby that is growing in there suddenly becomes one of two things: an income from a poor, unemployed teenaged boy and the government or, it’s an inconvenience and needs to be aborted.

My best advice to anyone from 14 to 25 – stay single, enjoy life, get set financially then start thinking about getting into a serious relationship. The world isn’t going to end if you don’t get serious with someone before you’re 30. Kids are wonderful gifts that require a LOT of work and a lot of money. Stay children for as long as you can. Being grown up is not as great as what it’s advertised to be. Life is hard enough by yourself and it isn’t any easier when you have others that you are responsible for. Relationships don’t last. I’ve known people that were married for decades that broke apart. Children aren’t mature enough to even know what love is much less what commitment and loyalty are. Most girls are out to get into a boy’s wallet and get a baby for an income. Boys are out to get their wedding tackle wet, period.

Those last two statements are generalities; there are those rare boys and girls that are actually loyal and true. If you can find one, keep them. The biggest problem is that those with good hearts, the loyal, are taken advantage of more often than not by those that are so immature that they can’t see beyond their own noses. Hedonism runs rampant in today’s world and that is the saddest thing that could ever happen. Dorian Grey is king; the only problem there is that these modern Dorian’s aren’t immortal.

A Very Sad State of Affairs

First of all let me get this out of the way: I stated at the very beginning that if Donald Trump wavered I would be one of the first to call him out. As you all know, very well, I call out the liberals constantly because I have a very conservative political view. That being said, I will get into the reason for this article.

The past week has been pretty… exciting? Bashar al Assad allegedly gassed his own people with Siran gas, one of the worst, because he’s just an asshole like that. Trump, not having drawn the line but not letting some Russian backed dictator cross it, used fifty nine Tomahawk missiles to level one airfield that the Syrian dictator (and the Russians) were using within hours afterward; this being done while our President was having a state dinner with the President of China. Rex Tillerson was in Russia speaking with his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov and then actually got to talk with good old Vlad Putin, himself.

Now, to top that off, our friend in North Korea decided to test more nukes and the Donald sent a few Navy ships toward the Korean peninsula as a show of force. Having LittleMan Sydrome, Kim Jung Un, the North Korean midget in charge decided to threaten the United States with nuclear war if we so much as fired one shot into his country.

Wow! Just….wow! Nothing like making history or watching it happen before your very eyes; I now know how the colonists felt as the Founding Fathers decided to declare our independence and then war against England.

Is it the end of times? I doubt it. Even though the North Korean midget in charge is a crazy bastard that would actually fire nuclear warheads at one of the two most powerful nations on the planet, I don’t think China would allow it. Although, it doesn’t seem as though China has a whole lot of sway over what Kim does anymore.

So, with all that out of the way, as a side note, if you want to get the shit kicked out of you just fly United Airlines on an overbooked flight. It isn’t enough that you get groped and prodded and interrogated and treated like you’re an Islamic Terrorist by the TSA in the airports, now you get to be treated like that on one of the biggest air carriers. Gotta love America.

Now to get to the heart and soul of what I want to say. This isn’t gonna make any liberal happy. President Trump did exactly what he should have done by tossing some explosives at Syria. I think he may have overdone it a little but, the thought was right. He did what King Obama should have done when the midget crossed HIS red line. Instead, the King decided to hang back and let the little bastard do what he wanted.

Did the Donald do anything to start WWIII? Nope. Hate to tell you this, folks, that war started on September 11, 2001. Even with the controversy (conspiracy?) of exactly what happened that fateful day as the World Trade Center fell, that was when this bloody war started. I know that I have a hard time believing the good ol’ government that it was Islamic Terrorists given HOW the buildings fell and that in the beginning there was actually no airplane in the wall of the Pentagon. That notwithstanding, the war started with George W. Bush against Saddam Hussein.

Now, with the downfall of the almighty Clinton Empire, the liberals are waging a war of their own against fellow Americans because they didn’t get their way; even the Congress is involved within their own hallowed halls, liberals against conservatives. Damn that Donald Trump! How dare he win a rigged election against him. Hillary was supposed to win so that she could finish off turning this country into a Socialist State.

First was the Russian hacking that, by the way, COULD have been our own Intelligence Community pretending to be Russian hackers. Then it turned into Russian collusion with the Trump Team. Then, lo and behold, came attacks on Team Trump associates. Liberal attacks at every level. Attorney General Jeff Sessions reclusing himself from overseeing investigations against the Trump Team then Devon Nunez reclusing himself from the same for the same reason – liberal allegations of biased investigating. Yeah, the war is in full swing and the liberals are flinging everything they can at the conservatives. Unfortunately, it seems as though the libs are in the lead by a league and the conservatives keep holding back.

It kinda makes a person wonder about what is going on in Washington. Is the Donald really ‘draining the swamp’ or is the swamp swallowing his administration one position at a time without any defense against it?

Why is the surveilling of Trump Tower a year before the election by the Obama Administration not being thoroughly investigated with hard evidence that it did happen while the Russian collusion is being beaten into the ground with all the Intelligence Community saying there is absolutely no evidence of it? Why is the Clinton Foundation not being investigated? Why is the Hillary email scandal a thing of the past, forgotten amongst the liberal outcry against the conservatives? Are the conservatives in DC really wanting to lose in 2018, 2020 and beyond?

There are more questions than answers in the world today. Why is Vlad so intent on supporting Assad when he knows that the Syrian dictator broke international law by using chemical weapons against his own people? Why is Kim Jung Un playing big man against an adversary that could wipe him off the face of the Earth? Why does Mexico get all pissed because Trump wants to build a wall to stop illegal immigration when they won’t allow Americans to illegally enter their country? Why do Americans want illegals to stay, no matter if they commit violent crimes against Americans?

The biggest question is this: why do we have to ask these questions? Isn’t the government supposed to be doing a thorough investigation into all things illegal that I’ve asked about? Why isn’t the Congressional committees demanding the ‘evidence’ that Susan Rice left with her unmasking scandal? Why won’t the FBI cooperate with Congress on this? Is the swamp so dense and thick that they don’t care about the law when that law is broken against the conservative party?

Yes, my friends, the war has already started. The evidence is there for anyone to see if they look with open eyes instead of a closed mind. World War III and a Civil War are going on at this very minute, this day, this month, this year and will continue as long as we, the People, allow it to. The question about this is what can we do about it? We are only a country of pampered children that want given to us what our parents and forefathers had to work hard for, fight and die for. So, what can we do? QUIT PLAYING BY THEIR RULES. I’m not advocating a violent rebellion such as the Founding Fathers had to resort to. I’m talking about not doing what the elitists want. Quit fighting about policy. Quit fighting about platform. Quit fighting about civil rights that aren’t being ignored. All these things are just distractions that have been bought and paid for by the richest of the rich.

You really think that Black Lives Matter started out as a terrorist organization bent against law enforcement and the establishment? I doubt it. Do you really think that all these gay rights activists really think that the LBGT community doesn’t have equal rights? There will always be discrimination by some but the majority of the people don’t adhere to such practices. Do you really think that keeping illegal immigrants in this country is really helping us out? Do you really think that we should bring those refugees into the country when there are places in their own region that could house and protect them better while staying with their own culture? The only refugees that WANT to come here are the terrorists and you are inviting them in.

All these things are orchestrated acts to keep us distracted from the real world and what is going on. There will always be war, discrimination, bullying, differences of opinion and viewpoint. Nothing can be done about that. What can be done is forgetting about all the shit that is being shoved down our throats and look behind the scenes to see what is actually going on. They don’t want us to get along. They love us to fight each other. That keeps them in power. OUR TIME IS NOW! Join the passive rebellion and quit doing what they want.  Liberal, conservative, socialist, communist, dictator or freely elected leader, it doesn’t matter, we are all being blindsided by an evil terrorist organization more secret than any other before. We are all just pawns on their chessboard and we are willingly entertaining them.

Open your eyes. Open your mind. Choose what you want. Fight on your feet for real freedom or die on your knees subjugated by the elitists. It’s your choice. 

Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries Just like Erma Said

Life is like a bowl of cherries. Erma Bombeck titled one of her books by that name. I have never read it, at least in its entirety. In fact, I really can’t recall one story in that book as it was many, many years ago that I actually read parts of it but, I know, that Erma Bombeck was a very intelligent author. She wrote her humorous stories around actual events in her life and experiences in a way that was entertaining, humorous and, if read in the right frame of mind, educational.

Why did I choose this as the main topic of this article? I chose ‘life is like a bowl of cherries’ because, through the past week, I have lived that bowl of cherries. Along with that wondrous juicy red fruit that is so delicious, there are always those damnable pits.

I have a friend that has told me for years that I am the only person he knows that can think himself into a bad mood. With my choice of career I have plenty of time to think about things. Amazingly enough, this past week there have been many, many things to think about from the Senate’s agonizing debates about Judge Neil Gorsuch to the bombing of a Syrian airstrip along with enough every day, non-political, work related subjects to choke the life out of anything.

The point I want to make, here at the start of this article is this: Life is actually pretty good for most people here in the good ol’ USA. Most, but not all; I have it decent. I have a pretty good paying job that I really enjoy, a roof over my head and food in the fridge. My bills are paid and nothing is getting shut off so why would I say anything about the ‘pits?’ Without the dark, we wouldn’t know anything about the light. For example, today started pretty good as I got to my receiver at a good time with only a few trucks ahead of me; I waited only a short time before being put into a dock door and it seemed I would get home early. That is as far as the good went. I waited over seven hours to get unloaded and almost an hour after that to get my paperwork. After leaving the receiver I was driving along at the speed limit, got behind a slow pickup truck, moved over to the fast lane to go around and the damn pickup truck decided to match my speed thus making me back traffic up behind me.

No big deal you would think, just slow down, get back behind him and travel on. Let me let you in on a little secret there: personal vehicle drivers do not like trucks. On any given day I will get slowed down by people that speed up when I try to get around them only to slow back down when I can’t and get behind them again numerous times. As a professional driver in a vehicle governed at 64 miles an hour I am at the mercy of a lot of things. I’ve been cut off by people that had to get in front of me, just to slow down or make that exit ramp that I just passed. I’ve had people pull out in front of me with less than a truck length between us. It gets more than a little annoying.

Today, being aggravated by the slow unload, this driver just pissed me off. As traffic is backing up behind me and this idiot not letting me by I blew my horn at him. Now, he could have sped up or slowed down, either way, no big deal; what did he do? He hit the brakes, looked up at me through the window and pulled off the highway. I’m expecting a call from the company about this as I am sure he took down the company name and trailer number because I was being an ass. I could have done more, like start to pull over into his lane to get him to move the hell out of my way for one thing.

As you see, with the day starting as that sweet, juicy, delicious fruit of me going home, getting to the receiver and getting into a door early, there came the pit of taking most of the day to get unloaded and then an idiot driver. Life was definitely a bowl of cherries today.

Another great author that I have come to admire is Sherrilyn Kenyon. For those that have been living under a rock or don’t read anything but Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Kenyon writes fantasy/adventure/romance novels (the only reason they are romance is that she does put some pretty graphic sex scenes in there and the main character ALWAYS gets what they want). Maybe you have heard of her Dark Hunter, Dream Hunter, League or Chronicles of Nick books that are international best sellers. My personal favorites are the Chronicles of Nick, the adventures of a teenaged Cajun from New Orleans that has an attitude.

Why do I put her up there with such a writer as Erma Bombeck? Sherrilyn Kenyon was an abused child and she persevered and won the day. She survived and thrived through things that would permanently scar most people. She puts the wisdom of those years and her survival into her writing. Her characters, for the most part, are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old (the oldest that I recall is an Atlantean god that is slightly over eleven thousand years old. When a character has lived as many lifetimes as hers have, they gain a lot of life wisdom.

Ms. Kenyon’s characters have been betrayed by loved ones, been tortured by enemies, lived through hell and, in the end, won the day by perseverance and sheer determination not to let life run them over. Some, the Dark Hunters, have even by murdered in some of the most heinous ways only to be brought back by the Greek goddess Artemis as warriors against evil. Even then, these people have stories to tell and wisdom to share.

The point I am getting at is this: there are a lot of times that the gods make humans their punching bags and don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to us. It is up to us, the human race, to decide whether we will let life kill us or we go over, under, around or through the hardships and keep fighting. There is always something to keep fighting for: a loved one, an important cause, honor.

With all that is going on in the world today, especially since the election in November, there have been a lot of times when people have asked me how my day is, I’ve replied, ‘If it got any better I may as well take off my own head.” After years of fighting depression, it’s getting kind of hard to keep fighting the good fight for me but I do. I fight on because I have things worth fighting for, even if some of those things don’t care about me. As Dom Torreto said in Fast & Furious, “Never give up on family, even if they do.” I happen to have a lot of family, most of which are not blood.

To sum it all up, it doesn’t matter if you are liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, wealthy or poor, mentally balanced or have mental illness, physically healthy or ill, there is always something or someone that needs you, would miss you, would die without you. It doesn’t matter who is in the White House, Congress, Supreme Court, who controls what country, who has done this or that, we all have our roles to play. What we do today, what we say tomorrow, what has happened in the past or will happen in the future, does not matter one iota to the Universe. It will all fade into nothingness through the mists of time. What will remain is whether we kept going, kept fighting for life or whether we gave in and ended it all without a fight.

Over, under, around or through, there is always a way. The gods are childish, narcissistic asses that look at the human race as entertainment. We only get what we earn by working for it and there will be no one there to help us. Friends come and go. We can’t take anything with us and no one gets out of life alive. It is our decisions whether our lives are a beach or a bitch. If you want some good life lessons, some good outlooks on life, read some Erma Bombeck and Sherrilyn Kenyon. There are other great authors out there that, through telling their stories, have wisdom to give but these two are my favorites. Give it try, read instead of staring at your phone or computer screen or game console. Chronicles of Nick, Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries, House of Darke (by Colin R Parsons), Wizard’s Quest (by yours truly) are a few titles for life lessons through stories. Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Dangerous Minds, Divergent, a few other titles for what life could be, even the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series’ can be more than entertainment if you really sit down and read them.

Don’t let politics, religion, nationality, or ideology cloud your mind. Life IS a bowl of cherries; all you have to do is spit the pits out and keep eating the sweet stuff….  

Boys in the Girl's Bathroom?

The year: 2016. The topic: Transgenderism. The sub-topic: use of bathrooms. Seems kind of stupid doesn’t it? After all, throughout history boys have been boys and girls have been girls. There has never been a question of what gender a person is. That is, until the 21^st century.

With the advent of an ‘enlightened’ society and everyone more worried about feelings than morality and common sense, the idea of what gender a person is, is now in question. It doesn’t seem to matter now, at least to a very small minority, that when a person is born with a penis that person is a boy and if not, it’s a girl. In today’s world, it all depends on how a person ‘identifies’ him/herself. If that boy, at whatever age, decides that he should be a girl that is what he is. If a girl decides she should be a boy that is how it is. It is all in identification of self.

As stated, this is a stupid topic. There should be no questions about a person’s gender yet, there is. The really stupid part about this is that the United States government, in its infinite liberal wisdom, has decided that it needs to get involved in this idiotic controversy and make laws pertaining to such idiocy. President Barack Hussein Obama decided that boys and girls should be allowed to use whichever bathroom they feel they identify with. In other words, boys are going to use the girl’s bathroom and vice-versa, by law.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I really don’t care whether a person is gay, bisexual or transgender or whatever. It is not my business at all. What is my business is who is in the bathroom with my wife, daughter, granddaughter, mother, sister or aunt. The argument that the liberals give is that a guy will not go think to himself, “Gee, there’s a girl going into the restroom to drop a load or pee. I think I’m going in there to watch.” That guy is probably not thinking that at all. What he’s thinking is, “Wow! There’s a good looking piece of ass going in there where no one can see what I do to her.”

Does it matter how a person ‘identifies’ him/herself? Not really. No one cares if that guy is gay or thinks he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. If you have a penis, you are a male and need to use the guy’s bathroom. If you have a vagina, use the girl’s. There should not even be a discussion on this. Yet, thanks to the immoral minority and the far left liberals, there is a huge controversy about this.

The world really doesn’t care how you feel. The world doesn’t care how you identify. The world only cares about what is conceived as right and wrong. Right is boys use the boy’s and girls use the girl’s. Only the far left liberals believe that how a person feels is more important that what the majority believe and want. The biggest problem with that is there are more and more of those far left liberals out there every day. Why are they growing in number? The number is growing because our children are being indoctrinated into that way of thinking by going to public schools. But, that is another discussion.

If a man had gone into a woman’s restroom even two years ago they would have been arrested. Now, all they have to do is say that they identify as a woman and, BAM, they have a free pass to do what they want. Too bad I can’t identify as a multi-billionaire and miraculously become one.

What this whole thing boils down to is the liberal ideology is being shoved down the throats of the entirety of the United States regardless of what others want. Because the far left liberals are the only ones that know what is best for the rest of the country, they think that their ideology needs to be law. What they don’t realize is that their ideology is based on socialism, communism and, in some of the more extreme cases, Nazism. There is very little democracy and no capitalism in their way of thinking.

Redistribution of wealth, more government control, bigger government, tax and spend, victimization of minorities, racial division, class warfare… all are parts of their ideology and all are socialistic and communistic. As for the Nazism, it seems as though most of the far left would like to see the destruction of Judaism and the State of Israel. The left would like to see totally open borders, see nothing wrong with radical Islam (believing that Islam is a religion of peace when the Koran specifically states that ANY other religion is to be destroyed and their followers killed in the most horrific ways), they canonize immorality by uplifting abnormal behavior such as sex change, transgenderism and homo sexuality by making it the norm and anyone who opposes or speaks out against such behavior is ostracized and persecuted, Constitutional rights are there only as guidelines and used only when they suit the left, anyone who disagrees with them are xenophobic, homophobic, racist, bigots or fascists.

The Democratic Party states they are more tolerant and accepting of differing opinions, cultures and beliefs yet when they don’t get their way they riot, attack both verbally and physically those that are opposing them and destroy property. This is their idea of tolerance and acceptance. The things that they oppose are closed and protected borders, an armed nation, freedom of choice for healthcare, education and creating wealth, critical thinking, financial responsibility, self-reliance and anything conservative.

They demand that children be taken care of in one breath and the next they want the right to kill an unborn child. They demand that the country take care of foreign refugees yet refuse to take care of American homeless. They demand equal rights for minorities yet want those same rights taken from white, wealthy, Christians and Jews. They demand that Christianity be taken out of public places and schools then demand that Islam be allowed wherever it wants and be taught in schools. They demand that minorities (racial and sexual orientation) not be discriminated against yet heterosexual whites are open season. They demand the 2^nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms be done away with yet government officials and the wealthy liberals are protected by arms. Do you see the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party and the liberals?

What does all this have to do with gender and bathrooms? It has everything to do with it because it is a liberal way of shoving their ideology down the throats of the entire nation. If you are a minority, as transgender, gay, gender reassignment, etc. are, you are above what is considered as normal. We are supposed to be a civilized society. What the left wants is total enlightenment by way of destruction of what civilized society deems moral and ethical behavior.

As I have stated more than once, I am not racist and I have nothing against anyone that wants to do whatever with whomever. What I am against is being forced to accept it as normal. Do I want gays to be put back into the closet? No. Do I want people that want to change their sex to not be able to do it? No, as long as they are adults, have had counseling on the implications, etc. Do I want minorities to be discriminated against? No. I believe that we are all part of the human race and we all should have the same rights and privileges; that whatever two consenting adults want to do is their business, not mine, regardless of their same, or opposing, sex; if someone wants to change their sex, not my business. I don’t believe that government should get involved in any of these topics. The government’s job is to protect the nation against our enemies, provide for the common good, supply a military, roads and waterways and not try to tell me how to run my life.

Dr. Michael Savage has said that liberalism is a mental illness. The more I see the hypocrisy, violence and intolerance of the left; I tend to agree with him more and more. The more ‘logic’ that the left uses the more I see just how illogical they are. The left will say that conservatives are delusional in their way of thinking. When an elected official that is over the age of 50 years and can say, and believe, that a gunman will put down his weapon when he sees that no one else is armed, it becomes clear that liberalism truly is a mental illness.

These are just my thoughts, my opinions. Some of this is based on facts that have happened and some is just conjecture on my part based on observations of events. I leave it up to the readers to make up their own minds; it is not my intent to convert anyone but only to open their eyes and their minds to other ways of thinking. Is it in vain? Only you, the reader, can determine that.
