What is the Democrat Party - the Anti-American Party


There has always been corruption in government. After all, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Since the earliest times in the history of 'civilized' humankind, the greed for power over people has prevailed over righteousness and honor. Only King Arthur was the perfect ruler. There have been good rulers and there have been monsters; all have been corrupt in one way or another.
In today's world, corruption is not even hidden away behind doors in secret meetings and backroom deals. It is out in the open and celebrated. Since the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump the Democrat Party has done everything possible to destroy his administration; all the while they are the ones perpetrating the crimes of which they accuse him. The liberal agenda is all that matters along with them gaining power. They alluded collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia while the Clinton campaign bought a false dossier from a former British spy that obtain information from.... the Russians. The Clinton Foundation received millions from Russia and, as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was instrumental in the sale of US uranium to... once again, the Russians.
Before the Donald was inaugurated the Democrats were screaming they would impeach him and that battle cry has not ended. They instigated a special counsel investigation into Russian collusion against the President. That investigation turned into obstruction of justice when President Trump fired the head of the FBI, James Comey, for various procedural violations. After 22 months of intense investigation, including 19 top attorneys, 50 investigators, 2500 subpoenas, and 500 interrogations Robert Mueller, the special investigator, came out with his report. He disappointed all his Democrat friends in Congress by finding that the Trump campaign had not colluded with the Russians, that the Russians had tried to entice them into collusion but were turned down and that the Attorney General would have to make the final decision of obstruction.
Needless to say this did not make the Democrats happy. They wanted Mueller to find that the President of the United States had committed a felony so they would have a reason to get rid of him. Instead of applauding the outcome, Adam Schiff, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, demands that the Attorney General hand over the Mueller Report, unredacted, with all documentation used in the report; whether it is legal for the AG to do so or not. Mr. Schiff believes that Robert Mueller and William Barr, the Attorney General, are not being forthcoming with the information given them and that President Trump did, in fact, collude with the Russians to make sure he won the election.,
This is what it boils down to -  Hillary Rodham Clinton was to be the next president, not Donald Trump. Hillary had rigged the primaries so that Bernie Sanders lost the nomination, she was handed debate questions so that she knew how to answer, she was the Chosen One to win the 2016 election and become the first female president and finish the work started by Barack Obama. The only problem was that the American people decided that she was not the one to sit in the Oval Office. We wanted someone that was not a career politician, that couldn't be bought off, that had the safety and well-being of the nation as a priority. We elected a businessman instead of the Chosen One. That was not how it was supposed to be and the Democrats won't let that die. And, they refuse to work with our duly elected President to make America safer, more prosperous and, if I may, great again,
Why won't they work for America? Because they don't like America. They want open borders, medical care for all who want it, no matter if they are citizens or not, voting rights for illegals and other non-citizens, welfare for anyone who comes here whether legally or illegally. They want socialism. They want to disarm the country. They want the freedom of speech only for the liberal left. They want the downfall of Christianity and the rise of Islam. They want boys in the girls' bathroom. They want racial divide. They want the downfall of America and what she stands for. Granted, these accusations are only my opinion but they come from watching what the Democrats say and do. An educated deduction if you will.
The overwhelming evidence of obstruction of justice against Hillary Clinton is undeniable: over 30,000 emails deleted, servers wiped clean with bleach-bit, phones and Blackberries smashed with a hammer, and using a private server for confidential government correspondence (which was hacked by foreign entities). James Comey, head of the FBI at the time, decided that there was no reason to prosecute. The reason behind this decision, a decision that was not his to make, was because it was right before the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton could not be president if she was in federal prison. It has been revealed since then that Mrs. Clinton had been exonerated of any wrongdoing before she was even interviewed.
Let's not forget about Loretta Lynch, Attorney General at the time, talking with Bill Clinton on a tarmac, then telling the DOJ to do nothing against Hillary. Or Peter Strozk and Lisa Paige, FBI investigators, talking through texting about making sure Trump didn't win, and having 'insurance' in case he did. How about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, head of the DNC at the time, colluding to make sure that Bernie Sanders did not get the nomination? The list goes on and on, full of top-level Obama Administration officials doing everything they could to keep Hillary Clinton as clean as new fallen snow, and everything they could against Donald Trump to keep him out of office.
Yet, here we are, almost two years later, after intensive investigation, with the Democrats screaming that the Trump campaign, and Donald Trump, himself, colluded with Russian spies and obstructed justice by firing James Comey. Robert Mueller was supposed to find something they could use to impeach the President, and he didn't. He failed the left. Now, they want to do a Congressional investigation into their fantasy of Russian collusion and obstruction; as if they could find something when their star investigator, with extensive resources, could not.
The Democrats want power. They will do anything, and everything, they must to get, and retain that power. Speaker of House, Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, have said it: they must get the power back no matter what. This is why the Democrats are against building a physical barrier between Mexico and the United States. This is why there are Sanctuary cities, counties, and states (which are all Democrat controlled). This is why the Democrats are against voter ID laws. This is why they want to do away with the Electoral College. They know that the American People are done with their anti-American ideology. The only way for Democrats to get, and stay, in power is through illegal voting. If they can't win fairly, they will cheat.
Now, since President Trump has said he should send all the illegals to sanctuary cities, the Democrats are screaming about how unfair, inhumane, sophomoric, and petulant that would be; that he is just perpetrating a political ploy against them. Every sanctuary city, every sanctuary state, is run by Democrats. They were even dancing in their offices when they became sanctuary cities. Once again, the liberal hypocrisy is brought to light. As long as it isn't them that is risking, or losing, anything, they will legislate whatever they believe will get them elected again. They don't care about immigrants, only to get their votes. They don't care about Americans at all, they've already lost most of their votes.
After the first Democratic debates I've come to realize that not one of the current candidates are for America. They made that perfectly clear with all the talk about giving illegal aliens everything while taxing the American public even more. It seems to me that my new nick-name for the Democrat Party is pretty close to true – The Anti-American Party. Nothing that was said on that stage was pro-America or pro-American. There wasn't even an American Flag anywhere on that stage. Doesn't that tell you something about this Socialist/Communist Party? It does me. It tells me that if we want to keep America alive, keep the American Dream alive, we have to keep Donald J Trump in office. We have to reclaim the House of Representatives. We need to keep the Senate.
With radical Islamists in the House, namely Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and openly socialist/communists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there is always a chance that the nation will fall into the hands of our enemies. With every Democratic presidential candidate against everything American, where is this country headed? Free everything who is going to pay for it all? The American taxpayer will. I, for one, do not agree with anything that has come out of the mouths of any of these people for quite some time.
Keep your guard up, America. It's us against tyranny in the form of the Democrat Party.

Capitalism vs Socialism/Democratic Socialism


Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Furthermore, characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system, and competitive markets.
Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. In Marxist theory, socialism is a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of Communism.
Democratic Socialism: a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production, with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of a decentralized planned socialist economy. This is from Wikipedia so the definition is suspect. The definitions of Capitalism and Socialism were from Google dictionary.
Take a good, hard, long look at these definitions; especially that of 'democratic' socialism. The first thing a person needs to understand there is that Wikipedia is not an accepted source of information at any university. Anyone can change anything in an entry on that website. I included it here as a reference to what Bernie Sanders calls himself.
This nation was built on capitalism. Each and every man that helped this country grow from a British colony to the greatest nation in world (in less than 250 years, no less) took pride in what he did, was compensated fairly for what he produced, and capitalism drove men to innovation and excellence. Without the incentive to achieve greater and greater things, men, the economy, and the country stagnate. Capitalism keeps the waters flowing hard and fast instead of pooling and turning sour.
When the people control the market, control the economy, control innovation, great things happen. The electric light bulb, the telephone, the telegraph, X-rays, the Polio vaccine, and innumerable other great inventions and discoveries would not have happened as soon as they did, if ever, without capitalism and the free market. In other words, all you millennials would be listening to your rap music and watching Game of Thrones in the dark without speakers while lying in an iron lung or having leeches bleed you out. Facebook would not be around. Cell phones wouldn't even be thought of. OMG! Instagram wouldn't exist.
In today's world, all you little snot-nosed, whiny, liberal, wanna-be socialists have it pretty darn good because of CAPITALISM! Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, etc. all are, are you ready for this, capitalists! Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Aeropostale, etc.; yep, capitalists. Every athlete, every entertainer, every YouTuber... capitalists. They are all out there doing what they do for, you got it, MONEY! Socialism would take all that away. The State, the government, would control all that. The State would control what you did, when you did it, how much you got paid, when you got paid, where you live, how you live... all of it. Socialism destroys economies. Just look at Venezuela. Once the richest country in South America, now one of the poorest; all because of socialism.
Don't think that all these failed socialist countries failed because they didn't do it right. There is no right way to do socialism. There is only a state-controlled economy. If the government was given control over the Sahara Desert within ten years there would be a sand shortage. Government is not the answer. Government is the problem.
During the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Founding Fathers debated over what kind of government would rule over this brand new nation. They didn't want a monarchy such as the one that they had just fought a war to get away from. They didn't want one man to rule over the many as too much power would make that one corrupt. They decided on three branches of government: the Executive to administer and uphold the law, the Legislative to make the law, and the Judicial to enforce the law. They wanted the people to have their say so the Executive and Legislative branches would be filled with representatives voted for by the people.
Why do I bring this up in a study about Capitalism and Socialism? Because it is exactly our form of government that makes capitalism work, and work well. When the government controls the economy, that economy does not prosper as well, or as fast, as when the people, the market, control it. We became the greatest nation on Earth in less than 200 years. The world came to us, the United States of America, when it was in need. We became the richest nation in the world faster than any other country or empire in history. It took centuries for Rome, England, the Greeks, to become what this nation did in less than two centuries. That is capitalism.
If you really need to see what happens to a country that changed from capitalism to socialism take a look at Venezuela. Once one of the richest countries of South America it is now one of the poorest. While the people of Venezuela starve, the elites live in luxury. While the socialist government controls everything, the people live like animals, and when they object they are shot in the streets. When the Bolsheviks revolted in Russia against Czar Nicholas, it was because the elite was living in luxury and the people were impoverished. What the people didn't understand was that the communist regime that took over would be no better. After the fall of the monarchy, the Leninists created their own regime of socialism/communism. The USSR, even though it became a world power, did not prosper. The people still starved and were told what to do and how to do it. It took Ronald Reagan telling Mikhail Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall' for the Russian people to see the advantages of capitalism. It is sad that the Russian government is a corrupt, and power-hungry, entity.
Our government, which is to be by, and for, the people, has become a corrupt entity. What the founders envisioned was not the socialistic leaning body that we have in Washington, DC. What was to be a small, people controlled government has become a large, people controlling monstrosity that is much more socialistic than democratic. With that in mind, look where our nation is heading. Many of our states are bankrupt, or close to it; our national debt is in the trillions. This is a far cry from the capitalist nation that grew so fast and so wealthy. The representatives that we elect are more interested in their own wealth and power than what the people want. It is much more socialistic than what a lot of Americans realize. The Constitution is meant to curtail government, not control the people.
Federalizing everything is socializing. The Constitution states that what is not specifically enumerated to the federal government is to be delegated to the individual states. What has happened over the years is that the states have abdicated their authority to the federal government. We became a soft socialistic nation. Our individual rights have been whittled away so as not to be noticed. Now, the socialists aren't hiding their agenda. They are screaming socialism from the rooftops and the House floor. Facebook, Twitter, the mainstream media are all filled with the socialist campaign against capitalism and control by the people; and we are suffering for it. Little by little the federal government is taking over and destroying our once great nation. Regulating, wasteful spending, taxation to the point of poverty, taking from those that work and giving to those that are able but unwilling to work, opening our borders to whoever wants to enter, and giving those people the same rights as if they were natural born citizens.
The ones that scream the loudest for socialism are the elites (which won't be affected because they have millions of dollars) and the ones that aren't contributing in any way at all now. Once everyone is on the wagon of government handouts, who will pull it? Government has already proven it does not have economic sense. All government knows is tax and spend. Washington, DC can't even come up with a budget, and if they do, they can't stick with it. If a private business was run like the government (federal, state, and local) that business wouldn't survive. Why does the government? The government survives because it will tax more and more and there is not a thing a private citizen can do. The government is all powerful. Ask the IRS if you can skip paying your taxes this year. Sure you can but you have to realize that your tax debt supersedes all others, and the interest and penalties of not paying your taxes will bury you. You can lose your wages, your property, your business, everything, if you refuse to pay the government what it demands.
That, my friends, is socialism. Welcome to the New World Order and the dystopian world of politics.

A Nation in Distress

What has happened to the world? It wasn't that long ago that Americans were proud to be Americans, were kind and considerate of others, believed in God, guns and country, would do whatever it took to protect their own, had a little common sense and were actually fairly intelligent.
I've driven a truck from border to border and coast to coast over the last 30 plus years and have seen a lot of things but what is happening today is beyond my imagination. People, driving both cars and semi-trucks, are getting more and more stupid every day. I've had to hit the brakes to keep some idiot from taking off my hood because of cutting in too fast so many times in the last few months, I've had truck drivers act like they were driving a powder blue Prius and was late for their date with a caramel, chocolate, non-dairy, extra-espresso latte at Star Bucks. There are so many people that will screw with trucks that the considerate ones are the exception instead of the rule. Speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, don't let that truck get in front of me for any reason whatsoever even though I'm only going ten miles under the speed limit and he's late for an appointment or is trying to get there before his clock runs out (and this is from BOTH POVs and trucks).
What happened to common sense and intelligence in America (or the world for that matter)? When a state will elect an air-headed barmaid running on giving everyone free stuff with no way to pay for it, well, that is a sure sign of the downfall of our way of life. The United States wasn't founded on free stuff. It was founded on hard work, self-reliability and self-responsibility.
When did racism make its big comeback? Dr Martin Luther King, Jr had a dream of equality for all people and we, as a nation, were well on the way to that goal. Now, everyone is a racist and everything that Dr King stood for has been erased. The liberal left blames Donald J Trump. Which is actually pretty hilarious when you come to think about it. After all, it wasn't until Barack Hussein Obama that racism reared its ugly head and that was before Trump was in office.
Now we have so many 'movements' as to be confusing. There's the MeToo Movement, the IslamicsArePeaceful Movement, the OpenBorders Movement... get my drift? None of these liberal 'movements' are helping America at all. They are damaging our nation and destroying our society. A man can't ask a woman out without fear of being accused of assault. We can't speak our mind about radical Islamic terrorism without fear of being called xenophobic and Islamophobic and being arrested. We can't speak out for strong borders and keeping illegal aliens out of our country without being called racists, fascist, or nazi.
The rule of law is only for liberals, if they ever get into trouble at all. Assumption of innocence is a thing of the past when it comes to conservatives. With overwhelming evidence against Hillary Rodham Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, etc., the liberals are bound and determined to 'get Trump' on anything and will spend as much time and taxpayer money as they have to to find something on him. All the while ignoring what is actually criminal activities.
Corruption in government has become the norm. If the liberals don't win an election they argue about it, throw shit-fits and demand recounts. If they still lose, they being investigations because there is no way that a conservative could actually win an election, they had to cheat somehow. The only problem with that is when someone constantly accuses you of wrongdoing, it's usually them that are doing it. Take the Florida mid-terms for example. Broward and Palm Beach counties have had to do recounts since the Bush/Gore election. This year, not only did the same woman that has been found to be corrupt against conservatives every election for the last 20 years have control over the election again, she made sure that the conservative didn't get any more votes in the recount by missing the deadline by two minutes thus making those extra votes null and void, she kept 'finding' votes by the thousands after the election was officially over.
The left want to change the election rules to make sure that they win, no matter what. The saddest part of this is that the conservative side of government won't do anything about it. In fact, they have kowtowed to the left, even with a majority in both the House and Senate for the last two years. The conservative party is so weak that they are afraid of a couple of Congressmen just because those people call them names. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have effectively taken control of our government simply by being bullies against their colleagues across the aisle.
I have long believed that the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon and the failed attack on the White House was a conspiracy so that G. W. Bush could take us to war with the Middle East and whatever terrorist organization that would surface. That being said, how did we go from watching a plane hit the World Trade Center to being afraid of offending Muslims? Islam, as a whole, has been the enemy of every nation, every religion, every society since its inception about twelve hundred years ago. Islam is against anything that is not Islam and they are bound by their religion to destroy anything that fails to convert to Islam. Something like Old Testament Christianity. The worst part of this is that the world over is bowing to Islam now. Islam is NOT a religion of peace. They believe in killing anyone for just about any reason just because the Q'aran says they must. Their prophet, their revered leader, was a monster. He had child brides as young as seven, he had slaves, he murdered and was a thief. He demanded that anyone not believing in Islam (the infidels) should be killed...PERIOD. Gays are to be killed. Women have no rights. Islam, the religion of peace, tolerance and human rights. Let's protect them and let them take over our governments and countries.
Then there is this 'caravan' of people from El Salvador and Guatemala. What the hell are the liberals thinking? Let them in? Are they insane? Over 10,000 people at one time is not a bunch of people looking for asylum; it is an invasion. Especially since at least 80% of those people are young, healthy men. What do you suppose those men are wanting? It ain't asylum; if it was they would have brought their families WITH them instead of leaving those defenseless women and children in the dangerous conditions these people are supposedly running from.
Mexico offered most of these people asylum, and jobs, but these people refused Mexico's help. All they want is to get to the USA and take advantage of our benefits and to be able to attack us from within. Yet, the liberals in all their higher moral glory have decided that conservatives are racist because we want to protect our borders and make people come in LEGALLY. Our Constitution was written for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not the world. Our Constitution applies to United States CITIZENS, both natural born and naturalized, NOT anyone who wants to infiltrate our borders for whatever reason.
When the Constitution was written giving immigrants birthright citizenship, we were a new nation and there were a lot of people that were coming here as immigrants. The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure that those people's children were citizens of this new nation. That is what the birthright citizenship was about. Those people weren't here ILLEGALLY; they were here to help this country grow. Because of the wording of the Constitution the liberals seem to think that everyone should be a citizen if they are born here whether the parent is here legally or not. With an ever growing population of immigrants in this country there has to be a way to control said growth. The way the immigration system works now it doesn't matter whether you are legal or not, you will be released into the country on a promise to return for your hearing. Few return, have babies and are anchored in our country to reap the benefits reserved for those that have done it the legal way.
Michael Savage has said for years that liberalism is a mental illness. If you listen to what the liberals say, you will eventually have to agree with him. This is a capitalist country, built on hard work and compensation for that work. Without capitalism, this country would have ended up like a lot of the European, South American and Asian countries with most of the population in poverty, slow economic growth, slow technological growth and little incentive to strive for better. THAT is what the liberals want - open borders and government controlled everything, Socialism gives them power over the people and power is all they want. What they don't understand is that once everyone is on the government dole wagon, there will be no one to pull it. And gods forbid that they should give up their wealth and redistribute it to the poor.
Now we have a government shut down. Yes, Donald Trump shut one quarter of the government down so that the liberals (read: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer) would relent and allocate $5Billion to build a border wall along the Rio Grande. Yes, he is being petulant in not relenting to the aggression of the left. Why? Because he wants a secure border and you can't have that without a physical barrier. Common sense, America.
Once Ms Pelosi gained her status back as Speaker of the House, the Donald had a meeting with her and the Minority leader of the Senate, Mr Schumer. What happened? Nothing. They had another meeting in the Situation Room and what happened? Trump asked the two of them if he gave them what they wanted and re-opened the government would they give him border security and the wall. Guess what? They said, NO. He stood up, said it was a waste of time and walked out. Why try to negotiate when the other party won't give anything?
The President had an eight minute speech on TV informing the people of this great country of the crisis on the border and why we need the Wall. Chuck and Nancy demanded equal time for a rebuttal. A FUCKING REBUTTAL to the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Who the hell is running this country? The Speaker of the House and the Senate Minority Leader or the the President? Looks to me like the Congress is trying to take over. Then again, isn't that what they have been trying to do since before Donald was elected?
Everything that President Trump has asked for Nancy, Chuck, Obama, Hillary and the rest of the opposition have already voted for in the past. Why won't they give it now? Because Donald J Trump is President instead of Hillary Rodham Clinton. All because a businessman won the election instead of a bought and paid for politician. Who are these people working for? It sure ain't the people that elected them.
Why won't the liberals give Trump what he wants? Are they making money from the drug cartels and human traffickers? Are MS-13 and the radical Islamic terrorists paying them money to keep the borders open so they can come in without prejudice? Seems like it.
Then we have the freshman class of Congressmen. Those socialists and Muslims that the liberal states seemed to desperately need to rule over them. Tlaib spouting off that they were going to “impeach that motherfucker.” Ocasio-Cortez spouting off that taxes needed to go up to 70% plus to pay for all her socialist policies. Sarsour hiding her Islamic agenda behind a sly smile. Yep, this country is had and it won't be long before the Constitution is done away with. Wait, watch, and worry.
Sixty million guns and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo won't be enough to fight off the liberals that don't even know which bathroom to use. Why? Because they will have the full power of the United Socialist States of America behind them and with that the might of the military. Abraham Lincoln foresaw this and told us about it. “America will never be defeated from an outside enemy but from within.” Paraphrased but I think you get the idea.
Anonymous, The III%, the Militiamen... none are doing anything that they say they will. They do a lot of talking but little action. The left is DOING. When is the RIGHT going to start standing up for American values, morals, rights and freedoms? All these people do is TALK. Action speaks volumes. Talk is just bullshit. You can write, or call, your Congressmen. You can post on Facebook. You can even bitch to your neighbors, friends and family but that ain't gonna do a damn thing. It's time to fight back. March in the streets. Stand up for your First and Second Amendment rights. Don't back down in the face of the tyrannical libtards. That is how they are winning. Conservatives back down and try to do the right thing without confrontation. The left doesn't give a shit. They will 'get in your face!' They will bitch and scream and go to the 9th Circuit Court that is so fucking liberal it ain't funny.
Stand up. Don't back down. Go ahead and write or call your elected officials. After all, they are supposed to be working FOR you. But, do more. Protest. March. Demand equality of rights. Don't be afraid to be called a racist, bigot, misogynist, Islamiphobe, xenophobe, etc. Like Moron Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, if that is what a radical is, then I am a radical. I don't give a rat's ass what the left thinks of me. THEY are the ones that are destroying MY country, MY Constitution, taking MY rights away and giving them to foreigners.
Remember this, the liberals think that walls are immoral yet they all surround their homes with walls. They think that $5B for a border wall is too much to protect the country yet want to spend $20B on foreign aid and $12 B on foreign ABORTIONS. If that doesn't tell you something about who the left want to represent then maybe YOU are part of the PROBLEM. Charity starts at home. We need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of anyone else. If you don't believe that, once again, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you think that illegal aliens should be taken care of before our own homeless and hungry (yes, there ARE homeless and hungry AMERICAN children) then YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you think that illegal Muslims, gang members, human traffickers, drug dealers, murderers, etc., should be allowed in the country and given money, food, shelter and healthcare while there are US military veterans that need these things first, then YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. America First. Then the world. It ain't OUR problem that these people can't stand up for themselves and take care of their own problems. We have our own that need addressed. Maybe we should become isolationists again. Let the world burn. Let China and Russia spend their money on these people that won't lift a finger to help themselves.
Do we need to have a presence in the world scene to keep our own republic free? Yes. Do we need to keep a military strong around the world to protect those that are trying to keep their own freedoms? Yes. Do we need to go in and try to change other countries governments and change their way of life? No. The Middle East has been killing each other for centuries. We aren't going to change that. That is how they live and they really don't want to change. Let them kill each other off. Gene Roddenberry had the right idea with his Prime Directive in Star Trek; DON”T INTERFER WITH ANEYONE'S SOCIETY. Let them figure it out for themselves.
A novel idea for this country would be this: let's take care of the corruption in our own government. Let's take care of our homeless and hungry. Let's take care of our ecological problems. Let's take care of US. There is a large enough plank in our own eye that needs taken out before we can even begin to remove the splinter in someone else's eye. We have corrupt politicians in Washington DC all the way down to local government. We have enough corrupt lawmen in this country that need weeded out that it could take decades to take care of. And by lawmen I mean from the FBI down to the local sheriff's department and city police. By politicians I mean from Congress down to your City Manager and Mayor.
Wait. What? Are you telling me that Mayor Honest Harold is corrupt? And Sheriff Andy is too? What about Deputy Fife? Wake up, sheeple. Just because you haven't seen the corruption doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just ask anyone who has been persecuted by local law enforcement or the City government. All it takes is someone that doesn't like you and you're had. Trust me on that one. A lot of local government is run just like Hazzard County Mississippi right out of the Dukes of Hazzard. There are more 'bad lieutenants' in this country than there are Andy Taylors. Especially in small town America where oversight is at a minimum. Lawmen use their badges as crowns and get away with it through deceit or threats. Local government officials cover-up their wrongdoings with deceit and new ordinances.
There are more and more new laws that restrict us every day. All in the name of safety for the people. No, it is control over the people. Revenue for the government. Power for the politician. People used to be able to take care of little problems on their own. It may have ended in fisticuffs, yes. BUT, it was done and over with without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on attorneys and court costs. Now, the first thing people do is call the law, get someone arrested, have to pay attorneys exorbitant fees and extortion based court costs. AND, it doesn't matter who is in the right. There is no justice in court. Only what can be proven. There are a lot of things that people do that cannot be proven in court because there are no witnesses, no paper trail. It was much better when you could go out behind the bar, beat the shit out of each other then go back in and drink a beer together. It was done and over with. Not anymore. Let's all go to court! Let's make more laws. Let's make it harder and harder on everyone (well, everyone but us politicians because the laws don't pertain to us).
Yes, friends, this is a country in distress. A country on a slippery slope. Are you willing to sit back and watch it die? Or are you willing to stand up and fight for it, to defend it, to keep it free? It's in your hands and your decision. You will have to live with it and so will your children and their children.

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 6th 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.

What to Write

     What to write. What to write? What to write!
     There is so much going on in the world today that it is an overload of crap on one’s mind. Russian collusion; Syrian overthrow; North Korean nuclear warheads; terrorists attacks; government run healthcare; tax reform; government corruption at all levels from Federal all the way down to local; immigration problems; refugee problems; racial divide; party division; riots, shootings and other acts of domestic violence. All of these things are at the forefront of world news and there seems to be nothing that any country’s general population can do about it. The governments of the world seem to be in their own little clique and doing whatever it is they want regardless of what is best for their countries or the needs and wants of their constituents.
     There once was a time when freedom rang out through the hills and valleys of this once great nation. Indeed, throughout the lands on this continent and across the big pond on a tiny island and also on the grand continent. Yes, there has always been the tyrannical rule of communism in some countries such as China, the Soviet Union, Korea, etc. but those that are run by an iron fist are few and far between. Freedom, democracy and capitalism have been proven to be much more effective than government run industry and human rights being denied. The problem is this: those freedoms, that democracy and capitalism is being replaced by socialistic and politically correct policy in the bastion of freedom: the United States. Even Great Britain is becoming more and more politically correct and socialistic than ever before.
     This year, 2017, was the 241st anniversary of our freedom from Great Britain. 241 years since the Founding Fathers declared that we were a free nation, no longer under the auspices and control of a tyrannical rule from far away. 8,000 American soldiers died from wounds, 17,000 died from disease, 25,000 were estimated to have been wounded or maimed fighting for our freedom. In other words: 1 in 20 free white males in this country were killed or maimed fighting against tyranny. THAT is what made this country the greatest country in the world. Men that were willing to die to achieve something that had never been done before – win against the mightiest military in the world since the Roman Empire.
     Once we gained our freedom from King George, the Founding Fathers set up an experimental government where each and every man’s voice was heard. The Constitutional Republic was born, a Congress was established and a President was chosen. It took months for the 57 delegates from the 13 states to debate and set in stone the Law of the Land known as the United States Constitution. Laws that set up three branches of government that kept each branch from too much power. The Executive Branch, the President and Vice President, empowered to uphold the law. The Legislative Branch, the law makers. The Judicial Branch, to defend the law. The Electoral College was established to make sure that each state had equal say in the election of the President and Vice President. The Congress, set up of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, filled with men elected by popular vote of each district; the Senate consisting of two men from each state to make it equal and the House filled by population of each district.
     Our new country now had a government, for and by the people. Freedom, human rights, prosperity were the norm, at least for white males. Throughout our short history, freedom has been given; not just to white males but to while women, blacks, Asians, immigrants, all who legally reside without our borders. Our new country became the greatest nation in the world. A country that led in technology, military might, human rights, freedom and democracy. We were the envy of the planet.
Over the years, that experimental government grew to understand that, through making laws that pertained only to the citizens of the country and not the law makers, our government changed into something that the Founding Fathers had debated fiercely against. The government has become all powerful and tyrannical. Laws are forced down the throats of the citizens depending on what government wants regardless of what the people want. In other words: where we once were a country with a government, we have become a government with a country. We are now no better than what our forefathers fought and died to be free from.
     “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
     For those that don’t know, these words are from the Declaration of Independence. Funny how time changes things. There are those in this nation that would want government to be all powerful and to dictate our lives for us. There are those that would have us open our borders, thus losing our sovereignty, and to embezzle from the working class to give to all that come here, or are already here, that refuse to work to support themselves. There are those that take the words of the Constitution and bastardize them into something they are not. There are those that would take us back to a time when freedom was a dream, when being your own man was doing your best to keep your family from being slaughtered by a tyrannical government or some other enemy (i.e., in Colonial America it was the British, today it would be Radical Islamic Terrorists).
     When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, thus setting in stone how our government worked, they decided that it needed more added to it. By adding amendments to that great document, laws became legal; certain things were cast in stone so as not to be changed. The first ten amendments were added before they left Independence Hall. These first ten amendments came to be known as The Bill of Rights. Giving us freedom of speech, the press, to practice any religion; freedom against illegal search and seizure or to testify against ourselves in a court of law; we have the right to keep and bear arms. These rights and freedoms were added for a reason. The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure that government would not, could not, become a tyrannical dominion over the people as King George and his British governors were over the colonies.
     Today, the liberal left would have us believe that the Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights, was a ‘living’ document meant to change with the political tide of the times. They would have us believe that the Founding Fathers did not understand that times would change and the laws set down by them would become outdated. Those far left liberals would like for us to believe that we no longer need the right to keep and bear arms to protect ourselves from any enemy, foreign or domestic. They would like for us to believe that the freedom of speech is only for those that are liberal and the freedom of religion is for any religion other than Christianity. They would want us to believe that to peaceably assemble is only for conservatives but the liberal left can commit crimes of destruction wantonly without recourse. They would have us believe that “provide for the common good” means to take from those that have and give to those that have not whether they deserve it or not.
     Franklin Delano Roosevelt set up the American welfare system as an insurance system to help those in need temporarily; until they were back on their feet. There are those in this country that have taken that as a challenge and made the welfare system their career, refusing to work because it is much easier to have the government pay for everything. Free money, free medical, dental, vision and food has become the American dream for people the world over. Refugees flock to our shores to take what our government doles out. The problem with that is that the liberal left believe this to be everyone’s right, whether they are citizens of this nation or not.
     The liberal left believe that the Constitutional rights given to all citizens of this country pertain to citizens of the world. They do not. The Constitution of the United States of America pertains ONLY to citizens, both natural and naturalized, of the United States and legal immigrants. Our Founding Fathers did not set up a global Constitution but a national one to protect OUR rights and freedoms. Only the left seem to think that this country is globally set. It is NOT our responsibility to provide for the world.
     Our country has become less great, less respected, because of liberalism and their political correctness. Michael Savage has said, over and over, “Liberalism is a mental illness.” I am beginning to truly believe that as time goes on and I see what the left is doing. John Kennedy would be ashamed of the Democratic Party for what they have become. I know I am. The liberal left is destroying our country by leaps and bounds with their socialistic policies and their desire for global settlement within our borders. We are a sovereign nation still but it is fast becoming a borderless wasteland for anyone that wants to enter and do as they please.
     We no longer can speak our minds or voice our opinions without being called racist, fascist, bigot, anti-this or that. We are forced to accept our enemies and can no longer claim national pride. Freedom of religion is only for Islam because ‘Congress shall make no law pertaining to religion or the free exercise thereof’ had come to mean that Christianity has no place anywhere on public property, government or schools. Being white is bad because of the atrocities of those from generations ago against minorities. Abnormal behaviour is forced down the throats of all people because the left is determined to destroy all morality and values in our country.
     The government does what it wants and no one will stand against it. Congress forces policy upon us that does not pertain to them (healthcare for the masses is not good enough for government, they have their own, all-encompassing healthcare paid for by the taxpayer). We are engaged in wars for the sake of government gains and no longer only for the safety of our nation. Our representatives are bought and paid for by big corporations and no longer represent the people that elected them to office. In fact, several of said representatives have become so powerful that their mental stability is in question but the people of their respective districts keep re-electing them.

     241 years ago a dream became a reality. It took thousands of lives to achieve. Now, 241 years later that dream is dead. Our freedoms, our rights, our very lives are at stake. Would this be anarchy? No. Would this be the call for revolution? No. Would this be treason? No. It is one man’s thoughts and observations. This is only my opinions on what has become of our nation. It could be the call to arms if I was a violent person. I am not. Violence is never the answer. But, when government usurps its’ powers and becomes a tyrannical dominion, it is time to rethink what we have become. It is time to think about what those thousands of men died for 241 years ago.

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.

Terrorist Attacks Since 9/11

After waking up this morning to more news of Radical Islamic terrorism in London I thought I’d do a little research on the ‘religion of peace’ and see just how peaceful this cult actually is. It was striking what I discovered. Since the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, killing over 3,000 innocent Americans, radical Islam has attacked the world almost 31,000 times.
Think about that for a minute. This religion of peace has conducted almost 31,000 terrorist attacks against innocent people over the course of 15 and a half years; all in the name of Allah and to destroy the infidels. Last week they attacked a concert killing 22 people, some of which were just children. Last night they attacked innocents on London Bridge. When are the liberal idiots and governments of the world going to get it into their heads that the radical extremists aren’t going to give up? Worse, when are those peaceful Muslims of the world going to stand up against their extremist brothers and sisters?
From May 27 through June 2 of this year alone, Islamic terrorists conducted 40 attacks, killed 455 and injured 677 in 14 countries. That was in a week. A bloody week! And what do the liberals keep saying? “Oh, Islam is a religion of peace. They just need more understanding. We need to bring the entire bloody Middle East into our countries and give them love.” Right! Invite them in, give them free housing, food, and medical care and give them jobs that natural born or naturalized citizens need. Why do the governments of the world do that? They do it because all those ‘refugees’ are trying to get out of a war torn area to be safe from harm. By the by, did you realize that the Middle East has been fighting wars within the area since the inception of Islam and lasting peace will never happen because killing is all they have ever known? (Statistics are from thereligionofpeace.com.)
The Koran tells its followers that anyone who does not believe in Islam is to be killed just as God told Moses to go into the land of Canaan and kill them all, men, women and children, because they were not believers. The difference is this – Christianity, for the most part, has decided that killing non-believers is not acceptable in civilized times. Islam still believes that is what needs to be done.
I am not saying that all Muslims are evil, dangerous and murdering thugs; they are not. There are more peaceful Muslims than there are the radical extremists. The problem lies in that a person never knows which is which. Just as the soldiers in the Vietnam conflict couldn’t tell whether that child walking down the street was a Viet Cong bomb waiting to go off or not, how do you tell if that burka covered Muslim is wired to the teeth with C4? You don’t know. There is no way to determine whether a person standing around or walking down the street is going to go postal and kill people because that is their duty to Islam. To make the problem even worse, in today’s screwed up society, Islam is recruiting ‘homegrown’ terrorists by the hundreds. It may have something to do with those 72 virgins that are promised if you die for Islam.
Here in the United States, the liberal idiots are even going against Federal Law and becoming sanctuary cities, counties and states just to protect any illegal that wants to go into their boundaries against immigration law. Due to multi-culturalism that seems to be so prevalent in the liberal world of Utopia, these sanctuary municipalities are going to be the downfall for the rest of the country just as the EU is going to be the downfall of Europe. The radicals go in as refugees or illegals, move about with impunity and get where they want to be to do the most harm to innocent lives.
Until the world can get off is politically correct ass and admit that Islam is NOT a religion of peace and that the extremists are a real threat to everyone the world will continue to die a few at a time. Innocent lives will be lost because people are afraid of offending the enemy. The idiocy of political correctness is being shown every day, with every attack by the Radical Islamic Terrorists known as ISIS. There is nothing normal about this. It should never become something that we should just expect to happen. We should never become complacent about terrorism.

Instead of taking our guns so we cannot protect ourselves, we should be told to gather as many as possible. Not just here in the US but in every country around the world. If citizens were armed then these radicals wouldn’t be able to do near as much damage and carnage as they do. Citizens could stop the killing by gunning down the outlaws before they completed their ‘missions.’ Stop the idiocy and let us protect ourselves; after all, our governments aren’t able to do it.
