ObamaMATH not ObamaCARE

2011-09-19T21:18:00.000-05:00

It will not be ObamaCARE that will cause the ruin of our economy, rather it shall be ObamaMATH.

Here are the most recent examples of ObamaMATH:

$200,000.00 = One Millionaire

$250,000.00 = Two Corporate Jet Owners

PRESIDENT DOWNTIME

2011-06-05T14:24:00.003-05:00

Ronald Reagan was called "The Great Communicator".

George Bush was simply called "W".

Jimmy Carter? Well, there is not enough room on the Internet for what I would want to call that Anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist, anti-Israeli socialist.

So now I have come up with a nickname for Barack Hussein Obama, (mmm-mmm-mmm).

With all of his vacations, all of his basketball games, all of his golf games, all of the parties, all of the concerts at the White House, all of his visits to burger joints, all of his time gallivanting around the country and the world, all at taxpayer expense I remind you. I have come up with the nickname of:

PRESIDENT DOWNTIME

I mean really, this man has spent more time on Air Force One than he has in the Oval Office doing real work.

Barack's Pain at the Pump

2011-05-01T14:38:00.005-05:00

Today, I just opened my bill for the purchase of gasoline for last month for my family and I have to say even though I pay attention to everything that goes on in the world, I was taken aback by what I saw.

I pay for three cars, gas efficient cars at that, and have averaged the past few months a bill between $320 and $340, and I was expecting a bill this month for around $380. Instead, much to my shock and surprise, my gasoline bill for last month is $449.

Now, I am NOT going to blame Barack Obama to be the cause for the current rise in energy prices.

However, I DO NOT see any common sense, intelligent attempt by this president to be the SOLUTION to this problem either. In fact, I do not see any attempts of any kind whatsoever.

And Donald Trump is right, you can not solve any problems and troubles of the world when you are constantly shooting baskets, playing golf, throwing parties and/or flying around the country to attend parties.

CHARACTER: RUSH LIMBAUGH vs. LIBERALS

2011-04-15T14:26:00.004-05:00

Today, Friday, April 15, 2011, Rush Limbaugh dedicated his entire radio broadcast in order to solicit donations from his listeners for THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY in order to find a cure for these diseases.

Barack Obama, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and the democrats for the past few weeks dedicated their time, were even willing to shut down the government; in order to FORCE the U.S. Taxpayers to keep funding PLANNED PARENTHOOD --- so that they can continue to perform 951 abortions --- everyday.

OBAMA'S PRIORITY (A PARODY)

2011-04-13T22:54:00.005-05:00

WARNING: THIS IS A DISCLAIMER TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE FOLLOWING IS A PARODY AND A WORK OF FICTION. THIS PRESS CONFERENCE DID NOT HAPPEN AND PRESIDENT OBAMA DID NOT SAY THIS. THIS IS A PARODY, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. BUT BECAUSE OF THE OVER SENSITIVITY OF LEFT WING, SOCIALIST, "PROGRESSIVE" LIBERALS, I HAVE TO WRITE THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE OFFENDED. BUT I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ANYWAY BECAUSE LIBERALS HAVE BEEN OFFENDING PEOPLE FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AND THEY DON'T CARE, SO WHY SHOULD I?

From the last press conference with President Obama that never existed. The President enters the room, everyone stands and the President signals everyone to be seated. The President then begins to speak:

"Good afternoon. I am hear to announce today, that with all of the turmoil that is going on in our country and the world today, that the First Lady and I have decided to totally commit ourselves in a cause very dear to us. Michelle and I will totally dedicate ourselves to this cause; and we shall not rest, - - - we will leave no stone unturned, - - - we will explore every avenue, - - - we will exhaust every option, - - - we will negotiate and have talks with everyone that we can and we shall never quit until - - - we get an invitation to the upcoming Royal Wedding in England with Prince William and - - - what's her name again? Kate, yes that's right Kate what's her name.

"I am now returning to the oval office to begin this quest by phoning my good friend, Sir Paul McCartney, whom you all well know performed for us here at the White House a short while ago when I gave him some award, which I can't recall at this time what it was called. Sir Paul prayed to me - - - excuse me, I mean praised me so eloquently while he was here. So I must leave now and get right to work with the First Lady. Not only must we secure these invitations, but we must also pick out a nice wedding gift. We are thinking of autographed first editions of all my books. Thank you very much."

The President then quickly leaves the podium and exits the room.

CHARLIE SHEEN WAKES UP HOLLYWOOD

2011-03-24T18:21:00.004-05:00

I have to give Charlie Sheen credit for something. If he has accomplished anything with the on going circus that is now his life it is this, that his antics has awakened some people up in the entertainment industry. And the people in the industry who woke up first were probably the accountants.

You see, what Hollywood does not like to be seen by the public as is something that they, meaning the elitists among them, despise. The truth that Hollywood hides from the public is that they are a BUSINESS. In fact, Hollywood is a BIG BUSINESS, as big a business as any other that are out there. As big as the oil companies, the investment firms, the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry. etc. The entertainment industry is just that: AN INDUSTRY. An industry that makes HUGE amounts of money. It is also an industry that wastes a lot of money.

Those higher ups in the industry, yes, those big businessmen in suits and ties and corner offices with a beautiful view are also beginning to see what "actors" like Charlie Sheen are. They are not just an employee, they are the commodity of their business. The product that they promote and sell.

Hollywood and the entertainment industry have also, probably for the first time, have found out that they are no longer recession proof. That in this current economic depression, people are watching and holding on to their money more, and are not going to waste it on bad products or commodities.

Let me draw an analogy. If you were in the produce business, and you got in a load of cabbages, say a thousand of them and found among them four or five rotten cabbages, would you still place them in with all of the good cabbages? No, you would not, you would toss them aside in the garbage.

Great chefs only buy the best fish, meat and produce for their restaurants to prepare for their customers, right? I believe now that the entertainment industry is waking up and doing the same.

I'm coming to a point here, and I know what some of you out there are going to say, that Charlie Sheen though is a great actor. My answer to that is simple and blunt: No he is not.

I'm going to refer to one of my favorite movies to make this point, it is the 1982 motion picture "MY FAVORITE YEAR" starring Peter O'Toole and directed by Richard Benjamin. In the story, which takes place in the early 1950's, Peter O'Toole plays Alan Swan, a drunkard and washed up swashbuckler actor from the 30's and 40's who is based on Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Errol Flynn. Swan is given the chance to appear in one of the top television variety shows of the day. The show is based on the old Sid Caesar Show. Swan cleans up his act enough to impress the "Sid Caesar" character and "Sid Caesar" compliments him on his effort. After doing so he tells Swan and everyone else to be ready to go live the next night for the show. This makes Swan perplexed, asking the "Sid Caesar" character what he means by "live". He informs Swan that this is live television and that's how he will do his performance. Swan goes into a panic, saying he can't go on. The "Sid Caesar" doesn't understand saying "What's the problem? You're an actor!"

Swan then turns and says one of my favorite lines in movies, "I'M NOT AN ACTOR! I'M A MOVIE STAR!" To now make my point, Charlie Sheen is not an actor, he is a movie star. I can say the same about Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Lopez, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, Linsay Lohan, etc. etc. etc.

If you want to see real acting, go to the live theatre, on stage. See what real actors have to do. To do the same show, night after night, all in one shot, without the advantage of doing "take" after "take" and with the help of a great film editor.

ANYBODY can be a movie star, Oprah Winfrey is proof of that.

Now the entertainment industry is waking up and starting to see that their rotten "commodities", with their on going off camera behavior, with there leftist, elitist statements and actions, with their childish antics, and with the double standard that comes with celebrity when it comes to serious legal matters - - - is costing them money.

Really, with Sean Penn embracing Hugo Chavez, and insulting those who have traditional American values, you don't think that has hurt the movie studios? Ask yourself this, when was the last Sean Penn movie that has made a profit? Some years ago, I read in on of the top Hollywood entertainment newspapers that Sean Penn, because of his off screen actions, has become, "box office poison". People also vote with their feet as well with their wallets. I personally will not pay any of my hard earned money to waste it on a movie ticket for any film that involves Sean Penn in any way. I do not want one dime of my money being filtered into his pocket for any reason what so ever.

The entertainment industry is waking up to other things like, for every Charlie Sheen, there a thousands of others out there wanting to take his place. That yes, the world will go on without Charlie Sheen and people will get along just nicely without watching any new episodes or reruns of "TWO AND A HALF MEN".

And look at all of the people that Charlie Sheen, with his "holier than thou", tiger blooded, Adonis gened attitude has put out of work. They all should turn around and sue him for all lost wages, present and future.

Keep waking up Hollywood, keep firing and getting rid of all your bad cabbages. Maybe someday you will get back on good standing and in the good graces of all the people as you once did in your glorious heyday. But back then, you all had class. That is something that has just died with Elizabeth Taylor, and will be totally gone when GOD calls home Olivia de Havilland and Mickey Rooney.

ISLAMIC JIHAD - DO THE SIMPLE MATH

2011-03-02T22:23:00.006-06:00

When confronting and debating the left-wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives" on the growing danger of the radical Islamic jihadist movement; in their constant defense of Islam no matter what, and after they finish calling me an islamophobe, they will come up with the statistic the "only 10%, (and some will even go as high as 15%), of all Muslims are radicalized."

Okay, then lets do some basic math for the liberals so that even they can figure it out. Basic, pre-algebra math.

The last I heard, there are 1.6 BILLION Muslims in the world today. So, to make it fair I will use the lower figure of 10%.

1, 600, 000, 000 x 10% = 160,000,000.

160 MILLION radicalized Islamic jihadists - - - world wide.

Here are some comparisons with that number.

That is ONE HALF the population of the United States.

That is FIVE TIMES the population of Canada.

That is 47,500,000 MORE PEOPLE than live in Mexico.

And now take this into consideration: That is 107.5 TIMES MORE than the population, (men and women), of the ENTIRE U.S Military.

Now I know that not all Muslims are terrorists - - - but I do notice that all of the terrorists are Muslims.

And what about this remaining 90%? Their silence speaks volumes. I, just recently, have started to see just a handful of the peaceful Muslims beginning to speak out against the people who are bastardizing their religion.

And if they believe for one second that their silence is going to get them off the hook from the violence, they are totally wrong. Because the jihadists not only want Muslim domination of the world, they want it to be THEIR type if radical Islam based on Sharia Law. The silent and apathetic Muslims will be beheaded last.

So, after two bombings on the World Trade Center, (the second being successful), the attack on the Pentagon, shootings on our military bases, attempted car bombings in Times Square, more attempted airline bombings, and even Sharia "honor killings" by Muslim fathers on their daughters in the borders of the United States, my question is this:

Do we have to start seeing be-headings here in America before we ALL decide to get serious about this problem?

FREEDOM OF SPEECH-SUPPORT ALL OF IT, OR NONE AT ALL

2011-01-18T15:42:00.009-06:00

On August 6, 1966, Lenny Bruce, the hip comedian of the 60's "Beat Generation" was found dead in his home from an apparent drug overdose. Funny as it may seem, I consider Mr. Bruce on of the leading figures in our country for the right to free speech as guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of our constitution. He fought tooth and nail for his right to speak as he wished, and say what he wished, no matter how obscene or obnoxious some other Americans deemed it to be. He went broke doing so, and in a strange way I see his death as a sacrifice for his battle against any government intervention into his First Amendment rights.

Ironically, I also have to bring up the name of Larry Flynt, founder and publisher of HUSTLER MAGAZINE and the empire that it helped him to build. Even though the product he sells and publishes is obscene and pornographic, he fought for his rights guaranteed to him under the First Amendment.

However, to make things even more ironic, when these two men fought for their First Amendment rights, yes, they were also fighting for yours and every other American in our country.

But this entry into my blog is not about the efforts of Mr. Bruce or of Mr. Flynt. No, it is more on the efforts of those who represented them in their fights. Mainly, liberals and the ACLU. It was liberal activist attorneys such as Alan Issacson, Phillipa Strum and William Kunstler who help fight for the Freedom of Speech for these two men. Not only for the rights of Mr. Bruce and Mr. Flynt, but others whom they have represented and fought for:

They fought for the rights of the AMERICAN NAZI PARTY, and their rights to gather, demonstrate and state their opinions publicly. Even in the town of Skokie Illinois in the early 1970's where the Nazi's were allowed to march. A town in which at the time showed that 1 out of 6 of it's Jewish citizens - - - was a survivor of the Holocaust.

These liberal "progressives" have also fought for the right of the BLACK PANTHER PARTY, (new and old), to publicly shout their hatred of whites and Jews and for their right to gather in demonstrations also.

These left wingers also fight for the right of the racist organization of the KU KLUX KLAN, an organization that was founded by southern democrats, to gather on the public streets to spew their rhetoric and white power vitriol.

However, my point is this; in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, democrat representing the 8th district in Arizona, these same left wing, liberal, socialist, secular "progressives"; whether they be in the legal profession, the entertainment industry, or be elected officials in the halls of our congress, senate, or state houses are now calling for the control of, or outright ban of talk radio and certain news media. (Yes, they are bring up the debate of the so called FAIRNESS DOCTRINE again).

These liberals even stand up today for the COMMUNITY OF AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS, (CAIR), and their pro jihadist, pro Sharia Law agenda.

Listen, the First Amendment means this: YOU STAND FOR THE RIGHT OF ALL FREE SPEECH - - - OR YOU STAND FOR NONE AT ALL!

The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees each American:

The RIGHT --- to be obnoxious.

The RIGHT --- to be obscene.

The RIGHT --- to your opinion.

The RIGHT --- to offend.

The RIGHT --- to dissent.

The RIGHT --- to your vitriol.

The RIGHT --- to your rhetoric.

The RIGHT --- to not agree.

And yes, even the RIGHT --- to be a racist. Just look at Hip/Hop and Rap music and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, you all have witnessed how he, and it, has been defended and more importantly, by whom.

Left wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives"; not only are they trying to eliminate the Second Amendment, but they are targeting now the First, and trying to modify it into something that will benefit only them.

GIFFORDS - HOW SHE IS BEING USED

2011-01-12T20:06:00.007-06:00

I wonder how she is going to feel. U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Congresswoman, Democrat of Arizona representing the 8th district. I wonder how she is going to feel, after she recovers from her injuries. I wonder how she is going to REALLY feel when she realizes that when she took a bullet to her head; that all her "distinguished" colleague's used her and her assassination attempt. Used her and her attempted murder in order to promote their left wing liberal agendas.

I wonder how her family, friends and loved ones are really going to feel after it all sinks in. Not only her, but the family, friends and loved ones who either lost their lives or were wounded on January 8, 2011. I wonder how they are all going to feel when they realize that they have been, and are going to continue to be - - - USED.

It happened within two hours after the shooting, the left wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives" began spouting their rhetoric and, yes, I'm going to use the metaphor, began taking their own aim at all those that they consider their enemies.

To these liberals, it was not the act of an insane man who never watched the news or ever even listened to talk radio, that shot Congresswoman Giffords. No, Jared Loughner would HAVE NEVER done what he did if it were not for the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, the National Rifle Association, gun owners, Republicans, conservatives, Sean Hannity, FOX NEWS, etc., that influenced Jared Loughner with their, in the liberals words, "hate speech" and "rhetoric" that made Loughner carry out his heinous crime.

Even the Democratic Sheriff of Pima County Arizona, Clarence Dupnic, without a shred of evidence, lays the blame of this tragedy on conservatives, talk radio and political discourse.

If we the people are as gullible, stupid and as easily influenced as they believe, then we would be blaming the Beatles for the Tate/La Bianca murders, because Charles Manson claims that the British rock group was sending him "secret messages'" to him through their music. Let's blame all heavy metal music for the Columbine High School massacre. Let's blame all hip-hop and rap music for the negative mindset of today's youth. Every time a law enforcement officer is wounded or killed in a shooting, let's pin the blame on Eric Clapton for writing "I Shot the Sheriff".

Let me ask you, if you were the parents of the 9 year old girl who was killed in this tragedy, how would you feel having her and her death being used to promote the political agenda of any political hack?

These people place their political agendas over their country, over their families, over their loved ones, over their friends, and even over their own children. They would sell out family and friends to advance their politics and beliefs.

These people are amoral.

They are liberals first --- Americans second.

They are democrats first --- Americans second.

They are secularists first --- Americans second.

They are left wingers first --- Americans second.

They are socialists and "progressives" first --- Americans, parents, friends, loved ones, brothers, sisters, and family members second.

Plus, they are also EVERYTHING that they claim that they are against. I challenge anybody to give me examples of any of the aforementioned conservatives that may have incited any type of violence anywhere. And I'm talking about REAL hate speech, not metaphors, where they are calling for the death of anybody besides Osama bin Laden or any foreign enemy of our country.

Because I can show where the liberals have.

Actor Alec Baldwin, who is considering running for public office himself, once called for the stoning death Congressman Henry Hyde. He did so on national television and not only did he say that Mr. Hyde must be dragged out of his home and "stoned to death", Mr. Baldwin went on to say that we should do the same to Mr. Hyde's family.

Bill Maher, who has actually uses the word "hate" when speaking of anyone who disagrees with his way of thought, he is rewarded by having his own television talk show on HBO where he has a platform in which to spew his hate filled rhetoric every week.

And then their is William Ayers, the founder of the 60's radical group known as The Weather Underground. This man acted out on his anti-government, anti-capitalism, and anti-establishment hate. This man bombed federal buildings and actually caused the death of American citizens. Did he serve any real hard time, NO! As a matter of fact he was rewarded for his domestic terrorism with tenure at the University of Illinois in Chicago where he is a professor and allowed to teach our children.

DON'T START GOING BACK!

2011-01-05T00:14:00.006-06:00

Today, the 112th congress shall come to power and Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The reason being is because we all rose up and started a movement that has not ever been seen in this country. The so called "Silent Majority" began to open their mouths and stood up to the arrogant and corrupt politicians that we have allowed to come to power.

We have all realized that we made a huge mistake in electing Barack H. Obama President of the United States. I'll wager that most who did vote for Barack Obama have great remorse in doing so.

Now I say that now is the time we speak even louder. Yes, we won back the House, and made the Senate more balanced. But they are still there, the left-wing, secular, socialist, liberal "progressives". We voted most of them out, but the main characters survived. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Dick "TURBAN" Durbin, Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders. They must be next, they MUST BE rendered powerless and voted out.

We must not stop now, in fact we must triple our efforts. The Internet is a wonderful thing because now you can write you congressman and senators and get the message to them instantly. Get the websites, save them on your computers and relentlessly write them and give them your opinions and demands. Always remember that they are YOUR EMPLOYEES and you must treat them as such. And when you do write your representatives and senators with your demands, always end your correspondences with these words: "OR WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT!"

And as far as the new congressmen and senators that we elected, keep their feet to the fire and do not let Washington DC claim them and change them.

This is a very critical time in our history, our first demands, and I mean demands, not requests, is NOT for new taxes, but for the corrupt politicians in Washington DC, and in our state and local governments TO STOP SPENDING! I am going to demand from my representatives a 25% spending cut across the board, starting with their salaries. There is NO REASON why a Vice Admiral in the Navy after 20 YEARS OF SERVICE makes $153,000 a year, or a Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy and Gunnery Sergeant of the Marine Corps, also with 20 YEARS OF SERVICE makes $65,000 a year; while a freshman congressman starts at $175,000.

Listen, we must make serious cutbacks in how our government has been spending our money. Right now, if the foreign governments whom our elected officials have been borrowing money from were to call in our loans, then every man woman and child in this country would have to pony up $45,000. A family of four has to come up with $180,000. Next time your out and about, look at everyone you see and just start counting by 45,000.

If we do not make the hard decisions now, then our children and grandchildren will not be stuck with the financial burden of our generations mistakes, no, this country WILL GO BANKRUPT!!

And if that happens, then it will not matter how hard or long you have worked, it will not matter how much you have saved, it will not matter how great your portfolio is, it will not matter how your family estate is and it will not matter what you will or may already have inherited. It will all be wiped out. There will be nothing for anybody.

And the only good thing about that is that then --- we will all be equal in every way.

Thank You from a Veteran

2010-11-11T09:01:00.005-06:00

With today being Veteran's Day and all, there is something that I would like to share.

Lately, whenever people find out that I served in the United States Navy, they stop and thank me for my service to our country, even though I served over some 35 years ago.

First of all, it was an honor and privilege to serve my country. I believe every young person should enlist in one of the branches an do so.

When I served it was in the 1970's, in the tumultuous times during and following the noble cause of the Viet Nam conflict. So, second of all, I have something to say to all of you who take the time to do this:

On behalf of all my fellow veterans, from all branches of our military, thank you all - - - for thanking us.

JOHN & BOBBY --- ARE DEAD

2010-10-20T10:41:00.004-05:00

Recently I have seen one of the local Chicago newspapers selling a special edition commemorating the 50 years after the death of President John F. Kennedy.

Fifty years later, and the liberals are STILL infatuated with John and Bobby Kennedy; so consumed by them in fact that they have been doing nothing for the past five decades but trying to find a replacement and copy of them.

So far, look who they have pushed on us, Gary Hart, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and now Barack Obama.

Hey, left-wing, secular, socialist liberal "progressives", I have a fact of life for you that you have made yourselves blind, deaf, mute and in denial over these past five decades. It is this:

JOHN AND ROBERT KENNEDY - - - ARE DEAD! THEY HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME! THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK! THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THEM! THE IDIOTS YOU TRY TO REPLACE THEM WITH CAN NOT FILL THEIR SHOES!

Plus:

JOHN KENNEDY WAS NOT THAT POPULAR OF A PRESIDENT ANYWAY! HE WON WITH THE NARROWEST POPULAR VOTE COUNT IN HISTORY!

You all also kept looking to their brother Teddy to fill their shoes, but it could never happen. Why? Well, I use a little movie analysis here. It comes from the epic motion picture, "THE GODFATHER". When it comes to the three Kennedy brothers:

MICHAEL AND SONNY ARE DEAD - - - AND YOU WERE STUCK WITH FREDO!

So please, stop using the deaths and legacies of John and Bobby Kennedy to push your liberal agendas. Their personal lives tarnished their legacies anyway. I'll have to hand it to Barack Obama though, the only thing that he DOES NOT HAVE in common with the Kennedy boys, is that he, (so far as we know), does not have the Secret Service bringing Hollywood starlets into the White House or elsewhere for trysts and secret rendezvous's.

A SIMPLE STIMULUS PLAN

2010-10-08T18:35:00.004-05:00

I have come up with a simple economic stimulus plan that every American can participate in.

For those of us who were the last to have taken Economics as a mandatory class in high school, you will remember the one law of economics on the first few pages of any Econ textbook: THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

However, there is one other economic fact that I'm going to deal with here; and that is for any economy to flourish, then the money supply has to be in a constant motion, always exchanging hands. This is called CASH FLOW.

Any money that is taken out of circulation, lies stagnant and does not continue to flow hurts the economy more than helps. That is one reason that we are going through this current depression, banks and lending institutions are holding on to their money, afraid to lend it out. It stays in their coffers, making interest for their clients, but not helping new businesses to open, or for current ones to remain open.

I was thinking about this current stagnant money the other day when I came home and did something that I believe that 99.9% of all other citizens of our country do. And when I did this little task that we all do and take totally for granted, an idea came to me on how every American in this country has the power to help bolster our economy sitting right there in our homes. That little task I did was to take all of the loose coins from my pocket that I have accumulated throughout the day and place them in an old coffee can in my closet.

I thought to myself of how many other households in this country must have their own coffee can, glass jar, or even a five gallon plastic water bottle from a water cooler that is either filling or is filled with loose change accumulated over the years. I then thought of just how much of a positive effect it would have on our economy if everyone in the country took all of that loose change to their banks and exchanged it for paper currency. And then, took that currency --- and spent it on something --- anything.

Take yourself and your friends to lunch or dinner, pay off a bill or two, buy yourself something that you have always wanted but never needed, go out on a Friday or Saturday night and hit a few nightspots, (tip those bartenders and waitresses a little extra), anything, just spend that money and put it back into the economy.

Can't think of anything to spend it on? Then give the cash to your kids and/or grand kids for them to go on a little spending spree, send it to your kids in college for them to have a little extra spending money, donate it to a charity, or even go downtown, (in my case that would be Chicago), and hand it out to all the homeless on the street.

Just spend it and get all that stagnant cash back into the economy. This is old money, not all the new stuff that they are busy printing in Washington, DC. And don't stop there, find all that loose change that is around your house or office, lying in the ashtray or cup holder section of your cars. Ladies, take all that loose change that is in your purses, and that overstuffed coin pouch on your wallets, and spend it. In fact, ALWAYS give exact change when paying with cash. For example, if you have a total of $7.68 due at the cash register, instead if handing the cashier a ten or twenty dollar bill and get change back, find the sixty-eight cents in coins and give that to the cashier and get nothing but paper currency in return.

Citizens of America, we have the power to boost our economy in the most simple of ways, find all of our loose coins, and spend them. Do some simple math, if the coins you turn into the bank give you a return of $50, $100, $200 or even $300 or more, just multiply that by all the other households in the United States that have the same amount that you came up with and just think about all that money that is being put back into the local economies.

While we are at it, for those of you who have done it, go in and take your collections of those state commemorative quarters that have been minted over the past ten years, tear them out of their cardboard displays, and go spend those also. Those coins are far from rare, they will not change in value for another century and a half, and they are just sitting there doing nothing. Your collections will be far more valuable when you put those quarters back into circulation.

So there you have it America, a simple economic stimulus that we can all participate in. In these hard economic times, we deserve a little break and that little extra cash that we have not paid any attention to for so long is the way to get that break. I would love to witness how this one little "sacrifice" by all of us will boost our economy. And this plan comes from an average American citizen, not the self anointed geniuses that currently occupy our local and federal governments.

Those Who Boycott Arizona - PROVE IT !!!

2010-06-21T19:46:00.003-05:00

To all of you left-wing, liberal, socialist, secular “progressives” who are calling for the boycott of the state of Arizona because of the state’s new immigration enforcement law, (SB 1070). I say that --- you are all full of crap --- and that you really could care less about all the illegal aliens in Arizona or any other state for that matter.

I find it appalling that you would all, especially in these hard financial times, would boycott a state that is populated by your fellow Americans, because of your illusions of grandeur of how the world should be. Your adding to the financial worries and stresses of LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS because of their decision to protect themselves from ILLEGAL ALIENS, in order to promote your misguided agendas, (no matter what the cost, and no matter to who of your fellow citizens whose suffering you now add too), is in my opinion nothing more but equal to treason.

Here is what I say to you, if you really care for the plight of people who are in the United States illegally, then by all means, continue your boycott on Arizona, (and to all of the other states and cities who are now considering passing the same laws). But I challenge you to PROVE IT. That right --- PROVE IT!!!

Prove it to all of us just how sincere you really are in your beliefs. Prove it to all of the illegal aliens in this country how much you care for them, and prove it to them that you are really concerned for their well being.

How do we want you to prove yourselves? Simple. Invite all of the illegal aliens in Arizona, (and the other states who are proposing similar laws), to move to your cities, to move to your neighborhoods, to come in and live in your communities --- among all of you. In fact I challenge you now to stand in front of all of the welcome signs in your cities and towns and welcome them with open arms, shake their hands as they come in, and even tell them where all the low income housing is in your areas and who will hire them and pay them under the table, and have them do all of those jobs that you claim no American will want to do.

There it is --- PROVE IT TO ME --- and the rest of America --- have them all come to live with and next to you.

HELEN THOMAS - UGLY INSIDE AND OUT

2010-06-06T13:29:00.002-05:00

HELEN THOMAS --- has proven that a person can be as ugly inside as well as out. On May 27, 2010, outside of the White House for a Jewish heritage event, Ms. Thomas was asked by Rabbi David Nesenoff her opinion on the country of Israel. Ms. Thomas’ reply was that the Jews “should get out of Palestine”, a country that they are “occupying”. That the Jews should return to their “homes”, which are really in Germany, Poland and in the United States.

This is a woman who has sat front row center in the White House press room for decades. Why? She is NOT a reporter, she is an opinion columnist.

First of all Ms. Thomas, if you should go purchase any world atlas published by Rand-McNally, you will discover that there is no country in the world known as Palestine. There once was, but your dear friends at your beloved United Nations in 1948 decided that there shall be a Jewish homeland named Israel. If you look harder you will find that there is no longer a Yugoslavia or Burma also. The U.S.S.R. no longer exists either.

Second of all Ms. Thomas, you are one of the main reasons nobody reads or trust newspapers anymore. If it were not for the sports section, newspapers would not be selling at all.

Why is it that among the left-wing, socialist, secular liberal “progressives”; that Anti-Semitism is the only accepted form of hate, bigotry and racism?

Now she has given one of the pseudo apologies that are famous among the liberals. Ms. Thomas, apology NOT ACCEPTED. You have disgraced yourself and it’s time you do us all a favor and retire from your “profession”.

JOE CAMEL IS INNOCENT !!!

2010-05-23T12:56:00.003-05:00

I am here today to proclaim that JOE CAMEL is innocent! JOE CAMEL, the most vilified cartoon character of our time was framed.

In 1992 a group known as the Coalition on Smoking and Health began to petition the Federal Trade Commission to ban JOE CAMEL, citing that because he is a cartoon character, he has a great influence on young people, teenagers and even pre-teens in influencing them to smoke.

Well then I say that if these same left-wing, socialist, liberal, secular “progressives” really think that cartoons are powerful enough with that type of influence, then the Cartoon Network and all modern day cartoons are the reason why young people today are so naïve, ill educated, self centered and shallow.

Why am I defending JOE CAMEL? Because JOE CAMEL was finally banned from being in all types of advertising in July of 1997. No longer could we see JOE in magazines, billboards or even t-shirts. In fact all cigarette advertising was banned by the federal government I would say by 95%. (If you think about it, when the federal government banned cigarette advertising, how many jobs do you think that eliminated?) Banned so much so, that the makers of WINSTON cigarettes could not even advertise, or even put their name on anymore --- on their own NASCAR race.

With that all said, I defend JOE CAMEL because I still see the same amount of young people today smoking as much as when I did, and I quit smoking 33 years ago. Cigarettes today cost anywhere from $6.00 to $8.50 a pack, I would estimate that 90% of the price is for taxes. When I smoked they were 50 cents a pack, 35 cents on the Naval Base I was stationed at. Plus, we had vending machines, which have since been banned, (more jobs lost?). If there are no vending machines, then where are these underage kids today getting their smokes?

With all the campaigns to quit smoking, and the constant attack on the tobacco industry, there are just as many young people today smoking as when I did. Hey kids, I’ll give you an incentive to quit. You girls who smoke? Well --- kissing you is the equivalent of licking an ashtray.

JOE CAMEL is innocent, and since Bill Clinton was president at the time, (who is known for his own infamous use of a tobacco product), I believe he owes JOE an apology, and should formally find a way to totally exonerate him from all blame --- and even pardon him.

What's Worse Than Racism?

2010-05-16T13:27:00.002-05:00

I hate to repeat myself, but after I saw Mr. Ron Gochez, a high school history teacher at Santee High School in Los Angeles, give a testimony at some council meeting spewing on how he considers California part of what he refers to as “occupied Mexico.”

First of all Mr. Gochez, you are history teacher. The reason California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are part of the United States is that the Mexican government and their armies at those times did not fight hard enough. They lost the war. If you want them back as part of Mexico again, your “revolutions” are not going to work, especially now with the rise of the conservative movement. The only way it will happen is for you to convince the current government of Mexico to declare war on the United States, invade us and try and take these states back. But I guarantee you, if Mexico won, then all you would have is the citizens of the new larger Mexico continue to leave that now larger country for the remaining 46 United States of America.

Because you Mr. Gochez, and your ilk are something that people really don’t think exists, but in reality you all do. You are what is worse, and even lower, than a racist.

What is worst than being a racist? Well, Let’s use Mexico as an example. What’s worse than a racist? How about --- MEXICANS --- in MEXICO --- who exploit, terrorize, murder, rape and suppress their own people? So much so, that it causes their own people to not leave their country --- but to run away from it. It is safer for a Mexican citizen to live in the United States illegally, that legally in their own.

Mr. Gochez, if you really want to help the Mexican people, then stop your cowering here, cross the border into Mexico and take your revolution there. Go back and fight those who are really hurting your people, your fight is with your own people. Go take your fight, if you have it in you, to the corrupt Mexican government and to the drug cartels that run Mexico.

Mexico --- with all of it’s vast resources that could let your people live in their homeland with a decent life, and YOU continue to allow it so that being involved in the drug trade or in human trafficking is the only way to make a living. I dare you Mr. Gochez, go take your fight to Mexico --- I suggest you start with Juarez.

Because people like you Mr. Gochez, have made Mexico like Africa --- most every country in that continent exploits, murders and enslaves their own people too. You know history Mr. Gochez, have you ever heard of Rwanda? How about looking into Nigeria. It is safer for me, as a white man, to walk through Africa than it is for a black man or woman.

Mr. Gochez, it’s so easy for you to make your speeches here, YOU know how safe you are. Go take your fight to Mexico --- where it belongs.

Shakira, Cinco de Mayo & SB 1070

2010-05-09T16:47:00.009-05:00

It does pain me to write this because I’m going to be critical of one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment industry, Shakira. However to make this easier, I’m going to lump her in with the Principal of Long Oak High School in California, Mr. Miguel Rodriguez, and with the protesters in Arizona and around the United States that opposes SB 1070, the new Arizona law that deals with the enforcement of the laws that deal with illegal aliens in the America.

Shakira recently stated that the recent new immigration enforcement law in Arizona is “not in any constitution”, and is a violation of human rights. I’m sorry, but Shakira is from Columbia. Is Shakira actually equating ANY human rights violations here in the United States to those that happen in her native country?

Miguel Rodriguez, during the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo, ordered five boys at the Long Oak High School to go home because they refused to turn their t-shirts inside out during the holiday. The reason is that the boys t-shirts had American flags on them. The principal did not want to offend any of the American students who are of Mexican decent. He also feared that there would be some violence from the act of these boys for standing up for their own country.

My questions to Mr. Rodriguez, Shakira and those who are protesting the passing and signing into law in Arizona, (SB 1070), are this, and I will use Mexico as the example because for some reason, those who are protesting SB 1070 believe that the law is targeting ONLY illegal Mexicans. My questions to you is this:

If Mexico is so wonderful --- then why are you here?

In fact, Shakira --- if you can stand up to any human rights violations in the USA, why won’t you do the same in your native Columbia? (Also Shakira, you are of Arab decent. If you want to see real human rights violations, where one of your outfits in an Islamic country).

If the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo is all about the “independence” of Mexico --- are you actually trying to tell me that Mexico is truly independent?

If Mexico and its citizens, (and even Columbia for the sake of argument), are so important, and near and dear to your hearts --- then why are you not fighting for them --- inside the borders of the country that you love?

The answer to all the questions is quite obvious --- it’s because you are all cowards. It is so much easier and far more safer for you to protest any American policy --- then those of your own countries. The only retributions you face here is some name calling and heated debate. Are Mexico and Columbia truly “independent”? NO! Not as long as they are being run by the drug cartels and the corrupt governments that they have purchased. You are too afraid to take on and fight the REAL enemies of your people. You are too afraid to get down and dirty; and yes, spill a little blood and suffer some pain. Meanwhile though, you leave your fellow countrymen behind to do all the dirty work and to suffer the consequences of the governments and criminals in your homelands. You let them do the real fight for you. All you get in your protests here is some quality “face time”.

Here is a bit of truth to those of Mexican decent --- your families, friends and countrymen are not leaving Mexico --- they are ESCAPING from it. They are not coming here for better jobs, they are coming here for a better life. It is safer for them to be in this country illegally, than in theirs legally. It is quite a shame too because Mexico has the resources and potential to employ all of their citizens with good paying jobs that would make their standard of living equal to ours in the United States. For example, Mexico sits on the largest natural gas reservoirs on this side of the planet. But with the long history of corrupt government there, Mexico has become a huge waste of potential, because of the crooked and dishonest people who use force to keep themselves in charge --- just like in the entire continent of Africa. They, like Africa, have governments empowered by keeping the proletariat in fear for their lives and safety. The government of Mexico only benefits those in the government of Mexico.

You can not criticize this country until you clean up your own, and that means that you have to take your “revolutions” there And for Mr. Rodriguez and Shakira, I suggest that they instead of interpreting our constitution and laws, that they do some research on the immigration laws of both Mexico and Columbia.

I do though feel that I must come to the defense of Shakira somewhat. She is a celebrity from a foreign country whose thoughts are with the normal average citizen. Not like some of her counterparts here in America like Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte and Oliver Stone, who go out of their way to visit, pamper, indulge and praise corrupt tyrannical leaders such as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

UA#4 The Abortion Cliche'

2010-05-03T22:24:00.005-05:00

Today I heard another one of those liberal cliché statements. This one concerns a subject that is near and to the leftist’s hearts. (Leftist hearts, now that is an oxymoron). The subject I am speaking about of course is abortion.

Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME the issue of abortion is brought up, the liberals will start ranting that if ANY law that prohibits abortion, will then force women who are victims of rape and/or incest to bring their pregnancies to full term.

Hey … left-wing, socialist, liberal, secular “progressives”, here a news flash for you, and I believe that I shall make this my UNACCEPTED TRUTH #4. If the debate about abortion was mainly about, and strictly concerning, the consequences to women who have suffered the vile act of rape and/or incest … then that debate would have been resolved and ended over forty years ago.

You have made abortion about the consequences of a man and woman’s actions, and the “inconvenience” that having a child has brought about in their lives.

Even to the point that you wish to allow the abomination of what is known as “late-term” abortion.

This reminds me of a story I read some years ago that concerns abortion:

A man, who is deeply disturbed by how the modern world is with all of its troubles is standing out in an open field. In his frustration he raises his arms up and begins to scream in anger to GOD.

“Hey God!”, the man yells. “What is it with you? You see what’s going on down here! If you really exist, then why do you allow all these bad things that are going on? Why don’t you send some people down here that can make life better for us all? Why don’t you send more real intelligent people who can cure diseases and teach our children well? Why don’t you send some more good people in the world who can prevent war and atrocities? Why don’t you send some decent people who will help us get closer to you? Damn! Why can’t you send more good people in general?”

To the mans surprise, God answered him.

God said, “I have done so millions of times, and I continue to do so millions of more. YOU allow it so that they keep being aborted”.

Police, Fire and Education

2010-05-02T12:48:00.003-05:00

Lately I have noticed that the left-wing, liberal, socialist, secular "progressives" have a set of cliche words and statements for every debate. One in particular that gets to me is when the discussion is over lowering ALL taxes and shrinking the size of the government. When this subject is brought up, immediately, and every time ... EVERY TIME ... the liberals will bring up on how this will cut down the vital services of Police and Fire protection ... and above all ... EDUCATION.

(You will also notice that not once ... NOT ONCE ... will they include the military).

Okay then liberals, I'll meet you halfway, (Yeah right, like any of you have that in you). Let's keep all American taxpayer money for Police, Fire and Education. However, let's STOP all of the other totally unneccessary funding that we do have.

For example:

Stop all public funding to "non-profit" groups ... such as ACORN and PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

Stop all public funding of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Public Broadcasting System, (PBS), and National Public Radio, (NPR).

Stop ALL funding of those Americans among us who willfully keep themselves as tax burdens and not tax payers. In my opinion there are only two sets of Americans who need to be on welfare. The truley sick and handicapped ... and the elderly.

Let's go through all the books and end ALL funding to all the other crap that our public servants "earmark" into every piece of legislation that comes before them.

Then when all that is finished, let us see, between those three, Police, Fire and Education, where there is real waste and corruption.

The SON vs. the One

2010-05-01T12:36:00.006-05:00

Why is it that the closest thing that the modern day left-wing, liberal, socialist, secular "progressives" have ever come to religion ... is their constant equating of the Community Organizer from Chicago ... to the Carpenter from Nazareth?

Sorry liberals ... but the Son's time on earth ... was a one shot deal. And when He does return ... it's not going to be on Air Force One.

"FREE" Government Money?

2010-04-27T11:25:00.004-05:00

See this man? This is MATTHEW LESKO ... you know ... the man who dresses up like THE RIDDLER and pushes his book, and now website to show certain people in America how to get what he refers to as "GOVERNMENT FREE MONEY". He is even written about in Bernard Goldberg's book "100 PEOPLE WHO ARE SCREWING UP AMERICA". Matthew Lesko is number 100.

"Free" money from the government for any of us to do practically anything that we wish. Now all of us with even a "D" average knows that this "FREE MONEY" only comes from one place ... US!

Now I say that Matthew Lesko and his book and website are not only the problem, but we can reverse it so that it can be the solution. Let's all forward Mr. Lesko's website to all fiscal conservative candidates running this November 2010 ... and tell them to read and go over everything that Mr. Lesko has to tell ... then make a large issue in their campaigns to eliminate and shut down ALL of the government offices and programs that Mr. Lesko is promoting.

HOW TO MAKE THEM HEAR YOU!

2010-02-21T12:28:00.003-06:00

Recently, someone close to me told me of the disdain that they were feeling towards Ms. Joy Behar of ABC's "THE VIEW" concerning her opinion of how Sarah Palin reacted towards the latest episode of the animated series "FAMILY GUY" which had a main character dating a girl with Downs Syndrome. The girl tells her date that her "father is an accountant, and her mother is the former governor of Alaska."

This person who was offended by Ms. Behar's opinion of "Down Syndrome people have a sense of humor", wanted to write the producers of The View and ABC Television to inform them of how offended she is that liberal television stars will attack Sarah Palin on every angle, including the fact that she chose to raise a child with this affliction, and that she is offended by the double standard that liberals have. If one of Barack Obama's daughters had Downs Syndrome, then Ms. Behar would be up in arms.

I calmed this person down and I told her what she must do to have her voice really heard. This is the advice that I give everyone in these situations, now I'm going to share them with you.

First, DO NOT write the network or the producers of the show ... it will fall on deaf ears. What you should do is, watch the show one or two times more and write down EVERY commercial sponsor of that program, both local and national.

Then, WRITE THAT SPONSOR, email is a wonderful invention, and CALL THE LOCAL SPONSOR. Tell them that you are appalled that their company continues to sponsor such programs and that you can no longer support their company buy purchasing their products. Because you DO NOT want to have one thin dime of your hard earned money to be filtered in any way into the pockets of these liberal celebrities.

Now there is a great chance that you will get the corporate generated response that "while we value your patronage ... that the views of this liberal celebrity does not reflect those of our company."

When you get that answer, you counter with this: "Your standard answer from your corporate guidelines has insulted me more than the liberal celebrity. The liberal celebrity DOES IN FACT reflect back upon YOUR COMPANY, and because you have stood by your corporate guidelines, you have now totally lost me as a customer, and I will inform all my friends and acquaintances of this incident and have them stop patronizing your company and its product also. These are MY guidelines."

Listen, if corporations WERE NOT worried about image and making money and profit ... then all of the companies that had TIGER WOODS as a spokesman ... would not have bailed out on him as fast as they did.

Liberal celebrities have got to learn that we ... the American citizens ... not only vote at the polls ... but we vote with our feet and our wallets as well. Take for instance one Mr. Sean Penn. Mr. Penn's actions over the years has kept many a person away from the motion pictures that he appears in. Sean Penn has not made money for a Hollywood studio in over ten years. Even a leading Hollywood periodical once stated that Sean Penn has now become "BOX OFFICE POISON".

He Forgot

2010-01-30T13:46:00.004-06:00

After President Obama finished his first State of the Union address last week, Chris Matthews, the host of MSNBC's HARDBALL stated that for the hour or so that the President presented his speech, the he, Matthews, "forgot that he was black".

So, my question then is this to Mr. Matthews: What then does President Obama do; or any other American of African decent for that matter; during all of the rest of the time; what do they do that DOES remind you that they are black?

Can you please answer that Mr. Matthews you left-wing, "progressive", limousine liberal, covert bigot you?

Here's something else you forgot Chris, that yes maybe MSNBC may be the least viewed cable network, but your self enlightened ignorant statements do get plastered all over the Internet.

And while you continue to do this, more and more people themselves are forgetting something: that you have a television show.

YOU HAVE! ... Nobody Else

2010-01-09T14:45:00.004-06:00

One of the hypocrisy's that really irks me about left wingers, especially the secular, socialist, "progressive", limousine liberals that saturate Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general; is how they will rant and bloviate about all the evils and wrongs of the world. All the time pointing fingers at conservatism and religion, sternly holding those two institutions to blame.

Then, after a trying few minutes of this ranting in order to get some face time on television or those endless amount of magazines that keep those faces in ours, they need a little marijuana or cocaine to help them cope with the stresses of their lives and of their "work".

Hey Hollywood! Everytime you purchase an illegal narcotic or "recreational drug", and you believe that your little amount of money you spent is "just innocent and means nothing", just so that you can have that "little buzz" to help you get through your rough day at "work" or what ever lame excuse you have to indulge; just remember this.

This is what you have done covertly:

YOU ... have participated in somebody's murder.
YOU ... have participated in somebody's rape.
YOU ... have helped purchase dangerous weapons for the street gangs in America.
YOU ... have made somebody keep selling themselves with prostitution.
YOU ... have helped finance radical islamic jihadist terrorists.
YOU ... have participated in child prostitution.
YOU ... have participated in an armed robbery.
YOU ... have participated in a burglary.
YOU ... have contributed to a family's anguish.
YOU ... have helped to contribute to the lavish lifestyles of those in organized crime.
YOU ... have helped contribute to political corruption.
YOU ... have helped push someone to commit suicide.
YOU ... have participated in domestic violence.
YOU ... have participated in a drive by shooting.
YOU ... are part of the blame for the death of an innocent due to that drive by shooting.
YOU ... have contributed to a mother and father's heartbreak.
YOU ... have contributed to the deterioration of society.
YOU ... have contributed to the spread of AIDS along with other STD's and diseases.
YOU ... have helped to finance genocide.
YOU ... have participated in the suppression of an indigenous people.
YOU ... have helped keep many people in the world in poverty.
YOU ... have helped to keep a tyrannical dictator in power.
YOU ... have assisted a totalitarian government.
YOU ... have help suppress the citizens of a third world nation.
YOU ... are partially responsible for the maiming and deaths of Law Enforcement and Military personnel.

Shall I continue? I have a lot more.

That's correct ... YOU. Because as with any other type of corruption, all you have to do is ...follow the money. And that $5, $10, $50 or $100 that you spend to purchase these illegal narcotics is all combined with the others who are just like ... YOU.

YOU ... have done this ... YOU HAVE ... nobody else.

So the next time you bloviate on the evils and of the moral decline in the world today, before you start pointing your finger at who YOU believe is the blame ... place it on your own face first.

NOTE: Do you ever notice the double standard of Hollywood when it does come to drug addiction? When Robert Downey Jr. or Britney Spears drug addictions became public, they were shown much sympathy while in rehab, (and in Mr. Downey's case, prison), then treated as heroes when they overcame their habits. However, whenever the subject of George W. Bush or Rush Limbaugh's addiction come up, they are treated as pariahs and are ridiculed.

Questioning Hypocrisy

2010-01-01T21:13:00.003-06:00

Here's another question concerning liberal hypocrisy.

Concerning the recent news events that concern professional golfer Tiger Woods. Why is it that Tiger Woods loses most to all of his corporate sponsors because of his acts of adultery; however, David Letterman loses none of his on his television show for his?

Also, why is it that when Bill Clinton did it ... in the White House ... in the Oval Office ... all his liberal supporters would vehemently tell us that "Oh ... it was JUST SEX!!!"

The Clown from Minnesota

2009-12-18T23:24:00.004-06:00

Now I'm the first person to say that win you win an election that doesn't mean you win respect. Meaning ... just because you now have the word Congressman, Senator or even President in front of your name does not get you automatic respect. Respect is always something that has to be earned.

What "Senator" Al Franken did to Senator Joe Lieberman was appalling. Lieberman a Senator for decades and Franken ... just for a few months. I'm a bartender ... this is the equivalent of the new busboy telling the seasoned waiter to clean off the table himself.

What was just as appalling was when Senator John McCain was stating that he doesn't know what's happening to the Senate. Hello John ... what happened is the you all let it become corrupt!

The Senate though, is supposed to act in a civil manner towards one another. And Franken is still in his Hollywood mindset where he was pampered and could get away with anything because he was an "artist".

This is the United States Senate ... not the stage for Saturday Night Live. Al Franken just proved that when you let a clown in the house ... the whole circus will soon be right behind him.

Al Franken ... NOT good enough ... NOT smart enough ... and dog gone it ... I just don't like him.

UT#4 - MEXIFORNIA

2009-12-14T13:27:00.004-06:00

I see many radical Hispanics speaking of how the Americans have stolen their lands through the warfare's of the past centuries. Well, as history shows, all land has been acquired through warfare ... and the Americans do not have the monopoly on that. (Even the Mexicans can be accused of stealing the lands of Mexico from somebody). It has been an ongoing cycle since the dawn of man. The people who have lost their lands through warfare, well ... they just did not fight hard enough ... and they lost.

I see these same radicals demanding that this land be returned to them, and some are even saying they are in the slow process of taking it back. They want the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California back. (And it pains me to say this ... but I believe that President Obama and his cohorts in his administration would gladly just turn it all over back to them).

If by chance that were to happen ... then I believe that UNACCEPTED TRUTH #4 would kick in ... and it is this:

If we were to simply turn over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California back to Mexico ... all that would happen is that Mexico would get larger ... and its government would still remain so corrupt that its citizens would continue to cross the border of our then abbreviated 46 United States in order to seek a better life for their families and themselves.

Obama Could Learn From the "PUNKY QB"

2009-12-05T10:25:00.004-06:00

I'm surprised that President Obama, being from Chicago and all, has not learned one important thing that one from one of our most famous sports figures is known for. I am speaking of Jim McMahon, the "Punky QB". The Quarterback, who led the Chicago Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX in 1985.

One thing that Jim McMahon did was that every Thursday night, during the football season, he would take his offensive linemen out to dinner at THE PRIME MINISTER RESTAURANT in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, not too far from where he lives. He would also buy them gifts. Why? McMahon himself said it. It was that he has to take care of the guys who make sure that he comes out in one piece after every game. That he had to take care of the guys who protect him. He did it on the field too where he would back up these men and even take the blame.

President Obama should learn from this, especially during this so called breach of security at the state dinner that he just had for the Prime Minister of India and all of the left-wing Hollywood limousine liberals, (that WE paid for). He is allowing the Secret Service to be blamed for the "breach", while he protects his White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers.

President Obama should stop and realize that the Secret Service Agents around him are there to take a bullet for HIM ... not for his White House staff and friends. Would Desiree take one for him? I doubt it highly.

Obama vs. Bush: The Liberals Hypocrisy

2009-12-01T16:18:00.004-06:00

This was sent to me by a friend of mine so I thought I would give it a permanent place to be viewed. This shows the blatant hypocrisy of the left-wing, secular, socialist, communalist, liberal "progressives".

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May(Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

GITMO IS NOT CLOSING

2009-11-24T11:12:00.005-06:00

Do you see this picture? This is the maximum security prison located in the town of Thomson Illinois. Right now it is a symbol of how the government works. Spending billions of dollars, paying for thousands of man hours and the purchase of materials, to build something that still remains empty to this day.

However, now some of these same geniuses in Washington DC have decided that this now may be the new home of the jihadist terrorist enemy combatants that are incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

They are going to give to them trials that ARE NOT constitutionally guaranteed to them. Plus the "good Americans" in Washington are doing so under the guise that "this is going to create jobs."

Hey, left-wing. secular, socialist, "progressives"! You may be fooled by your "anointed ones" in Washington DC, but we are not.

They are not closing GITMO ... THEY ARE JUST MOVING IT!

IMPOSSIBLE?

2009-11-19T09:17:00.004-06:00

LOOK AT THIS MAN RIGHT HERE AND LOOK WHERE HE IS STANDING.

THIS IS THE MAN WHO JUST RECENTLY TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT IT IS "IMPOSSIBLE' TO BUILD A WALL OR FENCE ALONG OUR ENTIRE SOUTHERN BORDER WITH MEXICO. THAT WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, LACK THE WAYS TO DO SO.

THIS IS THE MAN WHO ALSO STATES THAT HE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO CREATE JOBS IN AMERICA, BUT HE REFUSES TO USE HIS "STIMULUS PACKAGE" TO BUILD A SECURITY FENCE ALONG OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

WOULDN'T IT BE IRONIC TO USE THE MONEY FROM THE CHINESE TO CREATE OUR OWN WALL?

Liberalism + Diversity = Tolerance?

2009-11-18T10:05:00.004-06:00

If left wing, socialist, secular, liberal "progressives" staunchly claim that their current form of liberalism is based on diversity; and that diversity is supposed to be all about tolerance; then why do they keep attacking, and work so diligently to, ban everything that has to do with CHRISTMAS?

UNACCEPTED TRUTH #3 for the Holidays

2009-11-17T22:49:00.005-06:00

UNACCEPTED TRUTH #3:

Left wing, liberal, secular "progressives" are more afraid of, more concerned with, and more offended by people saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to one another in schools, workplaces and in public in general; than by a man shouting "ALLAH AKBAR" in any public place or situation before that man kills everybody in sight.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION ON THE ECONOMY

2009-11-13T08:52:00.004-06:00

I have just written my congressman, both my senators and the President of the United States. The correspondence was only one question. However I believe that if this question was somehow printed up and placed in the offices of all out legislators, where it will always be right there in front of their eyes, that it would keep them focused on making our economy strong again.

Also, all of us, the American citizen should do the same. All of us must keep this question in our minds and think of it every day.

I urge you all to write your congressman, and senators, (unfortunately, my senator's are Roland Burris and Dick Durbin, so it will fall upon deaf ears), then the President and ask them this one simple question:

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF AND/OR WHEN COMMUNIST CHINA CALLS IN OUR DEBT?

UNACCEPTED TRUTH #2

2009-11-11T22:30:00.009-06:00

UNACCEPTED TRUTH #2:

Left wing, socialist, secular, liberal "progressives" will value, respect and show restraint for the beliefs and opinions of tyrannical dictators and Islamic jihadists ... more than ... and even over ... those of American conservatives.

They are liberals first, Americans second. They are more afraid of conservative Americans than they are of any enemy of the United States.

The Religion of "OBAMIANITY"

2009-11-09T11:51:00.004-06:00

I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is bringing about a new different "change" to the American culture.

I DO NOT believe in socialism of any form and I do not believe in Barack Hussein Obama. Without one you can not have the other.

It use to be that if a left-wing liberal "progressive" would hear you make that statement, they then would malign you with insults and vicious accusations of how you must be a racist and a bigot.

However, now it's different. If you now make the aforementioned statement ... you are now considered something totally different.

You are considered to be - - - an ATHEIST.

All watch as the new religion of "Obamianity" as it spreads ... with Oprah as the religions first pope.

Why I Can't Trust Obama

2009-11-07T13:46:00.004-06:00

Why is it that, after just 10 months, that I know that I can not trust Barack Hussein Obama?

Why is it that just in this short length of time, that I believe that he, his administration, his supporters, his followers, and above all, his so called "czars" will weaken America's economy even more?

Why is it that I believe that with Barack Hussein Obama as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, that he will enable our enemies to attack us again? Not only from the outside of our borders, but as we have witnessed recently, from the inside of them as well?

Why is it that I believe that Barack Hussein Obama embraces the institutions of Marxism and Socialism?

Simple, I read and study history. And if everyone else would they will see how people like Barack Hussein Obama come to power, however mostly, they will learn that Marxism, socialism and yes, communism always fail. Plus, what is left of those societies in the aftermath of those failures.

More ever, secondly I also remember, and learned from, the history that I have personally experienced. And I learned a lot from experiencing, living through and surviving the four years of President James Earl Carter. (I even served in the Navy when he was my Commander-in-Chief).

Those who choose to not learn from history ... are DOOMED to repeat it.

The Bush Stimulus in Retrospect

2009-11-06T09:35:00.005-06:00

Why was the stimulus package of George W. Bush more successful than that of President Obama's?

Because George W. Bush sent the money directly to US! The American citizen. NOT to corporations like GM, AIG, and Goldman Sachs etc., who stepped away from common sense and traditional business practices. The stimulus checks went to US, and WE had the freedom to choose where that money was to be either spent or invested.

And NEVER ... not even ONCE ... did I ever hear ANY complaints, or even insults, by ANY rabid Bush critics or ANY left wing, Marxist, liberal "progressive", EVER say anything or even protest as they cashed their check.

WHERE IS REAGAN'S NOBEL PRIZE?

2009-10-09T14:55:00.006-05:00

Today, October 9, 2009, much to the surprise of all, even to liberals, President Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE simply for his aspirations for peace in the world. Even Obama himself and his staff were surprised that he was awarded the prize because deep in their hearts they know that he has not accomplished anything, to make peace among anybody, or any nations. Come on! No liberal out there can tell me or anyone else what he has accomplished to win this award. The award is for accomplishing peace, not hoping for it. Even Michael Moore himself is saying that he is happy that Obama has won the prize, but now he has to EARN it.

Here's my question: Where is President Ronald W. Reagan's Nobel Prize?

On June 12, 1987, President Reagan stood on a podium in West Berlin in front of THE BERLIN WALL and gave what was to be the greatest speech of his Presidency. In that speech President Reagan defied his own advisers and said to the world, "General Secretary Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!" Challenging the then General Secretary of the former Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to do so.

Ronald Reagan, without firing a shot or dropping one bomb, using only the power of his spoken word, he did indeed convince General Secretary Gorbachev to finally tear down the Berlin Wall which led not only to the reunification of Berlin, but to the entire country of Germany.

So why then did they decide to award the Nobel Prize for Peace to General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev? Without Reagan, the Berlin Wall would still be standing.

THE NOTORIOUS ... HELEN KELLER

2009-10-08T12:55:00.007-05:00

Yesterday, (October 7, 2009), our illustrious elected officials took time from their busy schedules in order to unveil in Statuary Hall in the Capitol Rotunda, a statue honoring HELEN KELLER, (1880 - 1968), the little girl from Alabama who, due to a bout with either scarlet fever or meningitis, was left both totally blind and deaf. Her story of overcoming her handicaps with the help of her teacher, ANNIE SULLIVAN is indeed an inspiration to us all and was made famous by the movie THE MIRACLE WORKER, (1962), starring ANNE BANCROFT and PATTY DUKE.

Oh you should have seen the smiling and beaming expressions on the faces of both Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

The performances by both Miss Bancroft and Miss Duke earned them both the ACADEMY AWARDS in 1962. However, there is more history to the story of Helen Keller, a history which is never really taught or hardly spoken of. If you have ever, or are going to, see the film, this is what happened afterwards. This is what happened after you see Helen snuggling on the rocking chair with Annie on the porch of her home in Alabama. After Helen tells Annie that "She loves teacher." This is how Helen Keller became one of the most notorious women in America.

In 1909, Helen Keller joined the SOCIALIST PARTY in Massachusetts, and the anarcho-syndicalist union, INTERNATIONAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD, (IWW) and was an organizer for them.

Helen Keller opposed the entry of the United States into World War I.

In 1912 she became a national voice for socialism. Helen Keller in fact blamed capitalism for the diseases that rendered her both blind and deaf. As if viruses have a will of their own to pick and choose who they render ill. Also, never mind the fact that she fell ill during the 1880's, where even the best medical treatment of the day could not save her from her fate.

In 1917 Helen Keller welcomed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.

in 1920, Helen Keller became one of the founders of THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION, (ACLU).

Helen Keller became a close friend of MARGARET SANGER, the founder of PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

Even though she was a Suffragette herself, Helen Keller criticized women for wanting the vote, because American women wanted to be participating in the democratic processes of the United States.

In 1955 Helen Keller sent warm birthday wishes to ELIZABETH GURLEY FLYNN, a communist and IWW organizer. Ms. Flynn was serving a two year prison sentence during the Cold War crackdown of the communist party. Where I must, add there is more history to those years that we are not really aware of. Was Joseph McCarthy acting crazy? Yes, he was. But there is something that history has also proven, that Senator Joseph McCarthy was right. There were at that time over 300 Soviet agents infiltrating our government, some even in very high offices.

I'm going to say something now that may offend, Helen Keller is literally the epitome of those who support socialism and communism. Her blindness never let her see the truth on just how evil the institutions of both political philosophies are. Also, her deafness never let her hear the side of freedom and independence. She was the perfect voice for socialism, she was never taught any way different. She was Vladimir Lenin's perfect "Useful Idiot".

The difference between Capitalism and Socialism that Helen Keller was never able to see or hear is this. In Capitalism, all are free to either participate or not. All are free to better themselves or not. Those who venomously criticize capitalism, well, just don't have what it takes to participate, so they turn to socialism.

Why, because in socialism, and even more with communism, it is a select few who decide everything in their subjects lives. From how much the receive to even what they do with their lives. Communism and socialism is state run slavery.

Capitalism benefits all. Socialism and communism only benefit those who are in charge or are in good standing with the party and the state. What's the difference between socialism and communism you may ask? Socialism is just "Communist Lite".

There is also one major difference between Capitalism and socialism/communism; and that is that socialism/communism need to maintain a strong POLICE STATE in order to thrive and survive.

NO HE CAN'T!

2009-10-02T15:41:00.004-05:00

Today, the International Olympic Committee voted against the city of Chicago to host the Summer Olympics for 2016. So, I'm just here waiting to see which liberal is going to be the first one to do one of two things. That is either to say that since that it was President Obama, First Lady Michelle, and her Highness Queen Oprah the First that made the final pitch for the Windy City; and they were flatly turned down; (Chicago received the fewest votes), that the International Olympic Committee must be a bunch of racists. Or, the old liberal stand-by, that all this must somehow be the fault of George W. Bush.

I have my own two reasons. First that I believe that the world is tiring of the 24/7/365 "Barack Obama Show". That his novelty has quickly worn thin and that he is beginning to bore the rest of the world. All talk and no action. All charisma and no substance. I believe that the Europeans, the Asians, South Americans and Africans are noticing that he is no different than the inept milquetoasts that are in charge of the governments of their own homelands, and that the change for a "new type of government for America" is in reality the old ways that the citizens of these countries have lived under for centuries.

Second, is that the International Olympic Committee is not as stupid as all of the starry eyed and drooling followers of Oprah and the Obama's. Everyone there knows that the Chicago/Cook County political machine is the most corrupt in America. That Al Capone and Bugs Moran my be long dead, but the "Machine" is alive and well. The IOC knows that the money generated from any Olympic games will benefit only those of The Machine, and not any of the citizenry. That's why I'm glad we did not get the games and Rio de Jinaro has. Rio is getting the WORLD CUP and THE OLYMPICS in a two year period and the cash flow there has been needed for far too long.

If I were the mayor of Chicago, here is what I would have done to generate cash flow for the city. Recently, Mayor Daley spent millions of dollars to have Soldier Field, the home of my beloved CHICAGO BEARS, renovated and modernized. However I would have gone a huge step further. I would have spent a few million more to have Soldier field domed. Yes, with a retractable dome. This way, Chicago would be the only northern city that would have been put in contention and placed in the rotation to host the Super Bowl. We have the venues, the hotels, the restaurants and the transportation needed for such events. Yes, I know that would have been a great idea, but we have the liberal machine running Chicago.

Liberals think with emotion and conservatives think with logic.

One Super Bowl generates more cash flow than one Olympics Games.

UT #1- NOBODY WILL EVER NOTICE

2009-09-13T11:30:00.001-05:00

I've decided that, like all other conservative thinkers do, that I am going to create my own list that deals with the hypocrisy and the mindset of the liberal secular progressives. I have them just come to me by observing their behaviour and listening to them as they try to debate the real problematic issues of the day. I'm just going to write them down as they come to me, and with them now occupying all branches of our government, it not easy to even try to avoid it. I'm going to refer to them a UNACCEPTED TRUTHS, (UT'S). Because these are the things that liberals will deny the most, when the truth of their socialistic agendas and behaviors are proven wrong not just by modern failure, but also when they have been tested by history and shown to be wrong.

On the day before the eighth anniversary of the attack on our country of September 11, 2001, actor Charlie Sheen released another one of his diatribes of his beliefs that it was in fact, George W. Bush and his administration, that staged the attacks by Al Quieda. That somehow President Bush had planted, during his short time in office, explosives in the World Trade Center and Building 7 and brought them down ourselves to justify his war in Iraq.

Usually we would treat people like this as mental cases except in Charlie's case, what is most disgusting is not only the blatant slap in the face by him to the families and friends of all who died that day; no, what is disgusting is that he will remain on Hollywood's payroll no matter what future acts even more abominable he commits. He is an "actor" and an "artist" These in my opinion are just words that the elitists in Hollywood use to shield and justify their irreparable actions. So, here is Unaccepted Truth number One:

UT #1 - NOBODY WILL EVER NOTICE

What I mean by this is that if Charlie Sheen, and his cohorts in Hollywood were to never, ever make another motion picture or television series ever again, nobody will ever notice. They are so self centered, ill educated, shallow and narcissistic that they in their hearts believe that the starry eyed adoring fans wait with baited breath on their every word and whim.

The truth is that if Charlie, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, Dakota Fanning, Oliver Stone, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz and every other Hollywood limousine liberal would fall off the face of the earth, really, nobody will ever notice - - - or even care. What is also appalling about these "artists" is that they also refuse to see the impact that they create financially in Hollywood with this type of behaviour. A perfect example of this is Sean Penn. Ever since his delusional crusade against George W. Bush, which is fueled by his psychotic hatred towards the man, Penn actually believes that everyone agrees with him.

Penn also goes beyond the hatred for George W. Bush to the hatred of his own country. It was not Penn's crusade against Bush that made me decide to make sure that I see that not one dime of my hard earned disposable income gets filtered into his bank account through the purchase of any movie ticket or rental of his films. It was two other things. First, his frequent acts of treason by giving aid and comfort to leaders of foreign countries who are determined to destroy the United States. (And he will turn a blind eye to these leaders totalitarian and suppressive actions against their own citizens). Second was his protesting of the execution of Tookie Williams, the founder of one of America's most notorious street gangs. Williams was sentenced to death because he shot gunned to death four innocent people - - - for sport.

Penn, and the rest of Hollywood also turn a blind eye to the declining ticket sales to their films. However, the accountants of the Hollywood studios have not. Sean Penn's last films have never gone above number 10 in the week of the films opening. He loses money for his studios and this is where these "artists" are learning that they indeed are part of capitalism, and in fact make their living with it. In fact, one Hollywood film critic even wrote that Sean Penn now is "Box Office Poison."

Charlie Sheen is so dumb and keeps himself inside of his bubble so much that he has never noticed what Rosie O'Donnell's mouth has done to destroy her career. What Charlie and his ilk must learn is that they are not "artists". Hell, they are not even actors, they are movie stars, and practically anybody can be a movie star, just look at Oprah Winfrey. If they truly believe that they are great actors, then I challenge them to try it on the stage.

Think to yourselves though, think of some actor that you though was great, even some singer, that just is not around anymore. They come and they go, they are a dime a dozen and they are no big deal.

HONEST JOE'S USED CARS

2009-09-06T18:03:00.003-05:00

I would always joke, even before he was anointed as Vice President, that every time I saw Joe Biden and/or heard him speak, I always felt as if I were buying a bad used car.

Now that we have spent $3,000,000,000.00 in American taxpayer dollars for the CASH FOR CLUNKERS program, I guess we can all say that we have.

QUESTION: DID THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS USE FUNDS FROM THE CASH FOR CLUNKERS PROGRAM TO GET BRETT FAVRE?

QUEEN OPRAH the FIRST

2009-09-03T21:36:00.004-05:00

Business in Chicago, needless to say, has not been doing very well lately. Empty store fronts are appearing everywhere; and the city, along with Cook County, have not helped at all. In fact, they have made the matter worse. We have a 10.25% sales tax rate, which I may add, just recently lost the vote in the Cook County Board to have it rolled it back.

You can now expect to spend anywhere from $30.00 to $40.00 just to park your car for two to three hours in any of the parking lots. The city of Chicago does not like people who have cars, however, that's a subject of a later blog of mine.

Chicago is still the only city in America that has its own tollway system. Every major expressway coming in to and out of the city has a toll booth eagerly waiting to take your spare change in order to enter and leave. What is so absurd about this is that they have the audacity to call the the ILLINOIS Tollway System, when there is no place else in the state of Illinois that has the toll booths. Believe me, it is the CHICAGO TOLLWAY SYSTEM.

Then there are all of the other fees and taxes that are levied on the businesses of Chicago. The restaurants now must pay a tax on all the gas they use to cook the food, and even charge a tax to customers who use Styrofoam containers to take their food home. We better add the fact of the high unemployment rate due to this present bad economic downturn.

With all these taxes and fees, our beloved public officials have made it very unappealing and expensive for those people who live outside of the city, to use whatever now small amount of disposable income they may have left, to come into the city and have a good time on a Friday and Saturday evening. They are all deciding to look for establishments in their own towns to frequent. Even the citizens of downtown Chicago themselves are coming out to the suburbs for their entertainment, because it is less expensive than going to the establishment right outside of their own doors.

So, what may you ask does this have to do with our Queen, Oprah the First? Our Queen, her Highness, has commanded that the largest entity of cash flow for the city, that being Michigan Avenue and the "Magnificent Mile" to be closed for two or three days so that she may give to the world, her special anniversary show, to be videotaped live on Michigan Avenue.

Never mind that she will be causing a huge disruption of business and traffic. No, this is Oprah, and this is what she wants. And to make sure she gets her way, she has commanded her servant, Richard the Second, (Mayor Richard Daley), to inform the masses that this ... is for their own good. Even telling the peasants that Her Highness, Oprah the First, is a Chicago icon, that she deserves this, and that this will ... are you ready for this ... CREATE JOBS. (I want to see just one).

Oprah Winfrey is living proof that liberals ... are everything that they stand against.

It is totally unacceptable to liberals that any CEO of a corporation flies in a private jet to a meeting, but it is perfectly acceptable for Oprah.

It is totally unacceptable for a corporate executive to make the six figure salaries that they do, but perfectly acceptable for Oprah.

That any expensive material object that a business executive has in his or her possession is always scrutinized, but it is always acceptable for Oprah to openly flaunt hers.

Wealthy people are criticized by Barack Hussein Obama for going to Las Vegas, but Oprah going to Monaco is just so wonderful in the eyes of her subjects.

Oprah Winfrey is no longer a talk show hostesses, (who, if you remember, got her start doing the same thing as Jerry Springer). No, Oprah Winfrey is the high priestess of her own religious cult, where she is the idol that is worshiped.

It is our Queen, Oprah the First, who has given us Barack Hussein Obama, and she is the person who has originally anointed him as "THE ONE". She brings Barack and Michelle on her show many times, cooing and drooling over the both of them. And then tells the world that she will never interview Sarah Palin because ... she does not want to use her show for any political reasons. And her subjects accept this, and defend it.

Oprah should be imprisoned just for giving the world Dr. Phil. A man who is not even a psychologist. He was stripped of his license in Texas, for some inappropriate behaviour with a patient.

I believe though that GOD in His Almighty mercy will bestow upon us all, during the taping of this show, one of the greatest rain storms ever over this two to three day period just to keep it from happening. And then a great realization shall come to our Her Majesty. She will return to her ivory tower on Michigan Avenue and deal with the reality that GOD has given her a message. And that is:

THERE IS ONLY ENOUGH ROOM IN THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOR THE ONE TRUE GOD.

Obama, Lincoln and King

2009-09-01T19:14:00.003-05:00

You know, I really wish that President Barack Hussein Obama would stop comparing himself with Abraham Lincoln and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Because Abraham Lincoln made his decisions and enacted his policies to bring an end to slavery - - - not to create it.

And the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Well, he had a dream - - - not a nightmare.

What is RIGHT about this?

2009-08-27T10:56:00.005-05:00

3,000 innocent people are incinerated to death and/or put through the equivalent of a garbage disposal. Two of the most majestic buildings in the world are reduced to dust. Four passenger jets are hijacked, slammed into buildings, or right into the ground, killing all those aboard; all of this done on live television.

And our U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, is deeply concerned of how the military and agents of the CIA have treated the people who are responsible for it all. Can somebody please tell me what is RIGHT about this? However, I do not want to hear the answer that America is better than this, and that we have to think about our standing and image in the world. Because here is a little fact of life that the liberal left knows about, be refuses to acknowledge.

The "WORLD" has ALWAYS hated us. Not the whole world I should say, but the socialistic and communist governments of the world, who daily pound into the heads of their countrymen their hated of America, it's freedoms and it's capitalistic society. The liberal left knows of this, but refuses to acknowledge because, the liberal left wants America to become these socialistic and communistic governments.

The other fact of life that the liberal left does not want to acknowledge is that the citizens of these governments DO NOT agree with them. That is why everyday they are, and in many cases even risking their lives, to leave these countries and move to the United States.

It's the "turn style test". How many are trying to get in the U.S.A., compared to how many are trying to leave? Even the most radical of liberals are not that stupid enough to give up their American citizenship and move to any of these countries that have the types of government that they are trying to establish here. I challenge any of them to do so. I challenge any of them to go to any of those countries and live as one of them, just for two or three years. If they like it there, then they should stay, however I guarantee you, the restriction of free speech in Canada alone will be too much for them.

Left wing liberals deny history. They do not acknowledge the fact that every president, and that includes their first messiah and monarch, Franklin D. Roosevelt, suspended many American rights and freedoms in a time of war and extreme threats to American citizens and our way of life.

The only rights that I saw President George W. Bush take away from me after 9/11 was my right to choose. My right to choose whether to be burned alive, or to jump from the 100th floor.

BARACKATEERING

2009-08-23T12:41:00.003-05:00

Lately, due to the loud public discourse that we are witnessing at these town hall events, and by the "tea parties" both in the recent past and the near futures, I have heard that the American people are basically revolting against "Chicago style" and/or "Cook County style" of politics. As a citizen and as a man who has done business in Chicago and Cook County for almost three decades, I can confirm what the American people are speaking about. I even have heard the new phrase for this type of politics by people who live outside of the state of Illinois. It is being referred to as ... BARACKATEERING.

Recently, we have witnessed a form of Barackateering by Rep. Henry Waxman, (D-CA), of the 30th district of the state of California. Waxman is the Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. In July 2009 he launched his own personal investigation of the health insurance companies by sending out letters to 52 of these insurance providers whose annual premiums come to $2 Billion dollars or more. He wants to know in detail all financial information pertaining to revenue, profits, and above all, compensations. This is how "Chicago Style" and "Cook County Style" politics works. This is the first step. A nicely worded letter is the first step to intimidation, followed then by extortion. (Hey Henry! Why not clean up your own houses in DC first before you try to clean up private enterprise?).

But where did Henry Waxman learn how to do this? Let me take you locally here in Chicago. I give to you our own Dorothy Tillman, former alderman of the 3rd Ward of the city of Chicago. The 3rd ward is one of the poorest districts in Chicago. And, I can say with the utmost confidence that the 3rd ward under Dorothy Tillman has not ever advanced economically under her so called leadership. Just like the congressional district of Congressman Maxine Waters.

Tillman in in 2002, authored, and had unanimously passed, a bill in Chicago that requires ALL companies who do business with the city, investigate themselves, then disclose and declare, ANY past ties with slavery, no matter how minute. As a result of this, in 2005 she campaigned against a $500,000,000.00 refinancing deal between the Bank of America and the city. Why? Because Bank of America's ALLEDGED ties to slavery. In 2004, Bank of America purchased Fleet Boston Financial, which at one time was known as Providene, and Providene was supposedly founded by a slave owner ... in 1791.

Tillman disguised herself as an advocate for Americans of African decent. She is an avid supporter of slavery reparations. Meaning she is trying to profit of the toil and torture of her ancestors, if her ancestors were indeed slaves. The death of over 600,000 Americans, who fought and died to end the institution of slavery, and the assasination of a president was not compensation enough for her. Waxman is doing the same, by trying to make himself out to be the champion of the downtrodden and uninsured.

However, the personal monetary profit that both Waxman and Tillman may make for themselves is not the real danger here. It is the precedents that they are creating. Tillman went after businesses dealing with the city, (which the city is suffering for ever since, because some business are saying that they don't have to take this, and they are moving out to the suburbs), Waxman is going after private insurance companies. If they are allowed to do this, then this opens the doors to give other self-centered and self-serving politicians the ammunition to go after any private business and any American citizen that they so choose.

But, it could all backfire in their faces too. Because as we all have seen lately with the heated debates at these town hall meetings, the "silent majority" has decided not to be silent any longer, and are using the tactics that the left has made into an art form against them, and it seems to be working.

Now here is my question to all the citizens of Chicago and Cook County. When are YOU going to start to revolt against the "Chicago Style" and "Cook County Style" of politics?

Here's a Tea Party for Ya!

2009-08-18T18:09:00.003-05:00

To celebrate the upcoming nationwide tea parties, I have decided to post a recipe just right for the occasion: THE LONG ISLAND ICE TEA.

You will need the following:

1/2 oz. Smirnoff Vodka

1/2 oz. Beefeater Gin

1/2 oz. Bacardi Rum

1/2 oz. Jose Cuervo Clear Tequila

1/2 oz. Triple Sec

2 oz. Sweet & Sour Mix

Coca Cola.

This drink is built right in the glass, meaning you just pour the ingredients directly into the glass.

In a TALL COLLINS GLASS, fill with ice and then add all of the liquors.

Top it off with the Sweet & Sour mix.

Then fill the rest of the way with the Coca Cola for color and flavor. Stir with a tall straw and top off with a garnish lemon slice on the rim of the glass.

Now, give a couple of these to a liberal democrats at the upcoming tea parties, and you will be amazed of how even a left winger will drop all their hatred, well, for everything, then loosen up and have a good time.

A Short Question with A Short Answer

2009-08-13T11:11:00.004-05:00

Question: Why was the original document of the Constitution of the United States written on one page; while the so called health care bill that is the cause of such heated debate written on over a thousand?

Answer: Because honest men need only to show how simple the truth is, while dishonest ones need to manufacture their lies and keep them too complicated to understand.

The Revolutionary War ended in 1783. And it took the original congress from September 1787 to July 1788 just to ratify the Constitution. Honest men toiled to make the truth simple, while dishonest men never end their toil to carry on with their deceits.

"Staged" Huh?

2009-08-09T12:20:00.009-05:00

It is so good to finally see that the so called "SILENT MAJORITY" has chosen to be silent no more. I have never witnessed an uprising from the conservative mindset as I have these past weeks with the "TEA PARTIES" and the heated arguments at the open town hall meetings that these members of congress and senate have been facing. American citizens actually getting up into the faces of these politicians, pointing their fingers at them and calling them liars. Challenging them on their votes and decisions. Using the lefts own tactics against them. Above all, reminding them of something that somehow in recent history seems to have been purposely erased from our teachings in our public school systems. And that is:

THAT THE CONGRESS, THE SENATE, AND YES, THE PRESIDENT - - - WORK FOR US! WE - - - DO NOT - - - WORK FOR THEM!

However, there are those in political office today who have become not just so out of touch with the American people, the have in fact, become so out of touch with reality as well. If you have ever seen the motion picture, "SCARFACE", starring Al Pacino, you will know of the one line in there where Tony Montana is warned of. "Never get high on your own supply." This is what has happened to many of our career politicians, (which causes debate on why there should be term limits on congressmen and senators). Only their supply is what is called in layman's terms as "BULLS**T". They have become so enamored and yes, addicted to their own bulls**t, that they now are so narcissistic that they will pass any legislation that they damn well please, no matter what the American people want, because they have now a locked mindset. They actually have made themselves the "master race" so to speak. That they and only they know what is good for us. They now believe that this country must be made into an aristocracy, not a republic. (With the recent election of Barack Hussein Obama, they now want to make it into a theocracy, and to all worship "The One").

Let us look at recent events. President Obama has now ordered us to stop referring to our enemies as "terrorists", "jihadists", and "islamists". However, it is perfectly acceptable to label all those who disagree with him and oppose his agenda as, "extremists" and "conspirators". He and his supporters are even charging that all of these heated debates at the town hall meetings are "staged."

I can enter into evidence how these protest are not staged by one simple observation. Look at all the signs and placardsheld by these protesters. They are hand made by each protester. Now look whenever you see a protest by those on the left such as ACORN, the SEIU, or even Jesse Jackson's RAINBOW/PUSH. All their signs and placards are made professionally, as if they have a paid retainer with Kinkos or something. They also have professionally made t-shirts, hats, and buttons.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has even gone far enough to state publicly that the protesters at the town hall debates are wearing swastikas. She believes that she has the complete authority, to call American citizens who question her and those of her mindset - - - Nazi's, and that it is perfectly acceptable to do so.

Senator Harry Reid has stated that this is not a "grassroots" type of protest, that it is more like "AstroTurf", that meaning fake. I'm sorry, but the only AstroTurf that I see in any of this is sitting on top of Joe Biden's head.

Look at this picture though, look at this picture and think as I do. This is what I want to see. This is the expression that I want to see on Nancy Pelosi's face come November 2010. This dumbfounded, botox enriched, "deer in the headlights" look when there is a complete overhaul of the congress and senate and all the left wing covert socialists are swept out of office and replaced by conservative traditionalists.

When she and Harry Reid, Dick (Turban) Durbin, Joe Biden, Charles Schuemer, and Barack Obama, and the rest of the extreme left are rendered totally powerless.

And yes, maybe even another miracle will come from GOD. God parted the Red Sea, gave us the 1969 Mets, and recently we witnessed his power by putting his hand under a passenger airliner and having it set down onto the Hudson River in New York, and sparring the lives of all those on board. Maybe GOD will perform another modern day miracle, by having the people of the eighth congressional district of California come to their senses, and vote her out of office.

Yes, Ms. Pelosi. Just keep on doing what you are doing. You and all the rest of your mindset. Staged huh? We'll show you staged. We'll show all of you "staged" in November 2010.

The Coming United States Tollway System

2009-08-07T20:10:00.004-05:00

I'm almost afraid to write this, because I fear that some left wing progressive, starry eyed supporter of President Obama will read this; and then actually try to have it implemented.

I joke with people here in Chicago that President Obama's real agenda is to annex the entire country into Cook County Illinois. President Obama is trying to run our country in the only way that he has learned, that of the Chicago and Cook County Democratic Machine. Chicago also has one thing that no other city in the United States has, the Illinois Tollway System. Yes, every main expressway leading into and going out of the city of Chicago has a toll booth which charges you a minimum of $1.00 to come in and $1.00 to leave.

Yes, you have to pay a cover charge to get into the city of Chicago, and then you have to tip the doorman on the way out. Many people will be pass through two and maybe even three toll booths to come and go from Chicago. So that means that some commuters will spend $4.00 to $6.00 daily to come and go from work. And then there's the parking rates in the city, which a large portion is a tax for the city. I was downtown yesterday and it cost me $31.00 for a total of 2 hours of time in a parking lot.

There are two expressways that go around the city, I-294 and I-355, but they have toll booths also and many people will pass through two or three of those so that they may go around the city. I call this the Cook County Avoidance Tax.

Now, we see President Obama and the left wing secular progressives pushing their health care agenda and not having any way to pay for it. So, I'm now thinking that President Obama, since he knows of our toll, (tax), system will, in order to pay for a one payer, socialized heath care system, will create: THE UNITED STATES TOLLWAY SYSTEM.

Yes, to pay for health care, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and yes Illinois own Senator Dick (Turban) Durban will be supporting it. There will be toll booths set up all over the country throughout its Interstate System with the Illinois Tollway System as its model. (Why do they call it the Illinois Tollway System, when it's only in Chicago?) You will pay 50 cents to enter onto and exit every Interstate highway throughout the United States, and then pay $1.00 for every 30 miles of the Interstate that you drive on through an array of toll booths. And all money made will be going to pay for universal health care.

And for those who decide to take the side roads. Well to cover those losses they will do as Michael Moore states that the government should do, place a $2.00 tax on every gallon of gasoline. Then, because Chicago does not want you to have your own car, and only wants you to use the METRA, the Chicago Transit Authority, and the taxi's, Obama and his minions will place a tax on every parking spot in the country, as well as the parking spots in your apartment complexes.

And they will also tell you that since you will see how much it will cost you to drive, that you will cut back on your driving, therefore saving energy as well as the environment.

You see, as long as Obama is there, as well as the Chicago connections in his staff, yes, this will be coming. I have driven from Chicago to Phoenix Arizona twice. In that 1700 miles of driving there is only one tollway between Chicago and Phoenix, and that is on the Will Rodger's Turnpike that is the Interstate that connects Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Look at a map and see how far apart that is. Then look at all the Interstates around Chicago, and that also means from Wisconsin and Indiana leading into the city. Look how many toll booths are marked on the map of the city of Chicago.

That's what could be coming.

The White House "Beer Summit"

2009-08-02T18:12:00.005-05:00

We have been bombarded by the latest media event and photo opportunity that our President, Barrack Hussein Obama, and his cohorts have bestowed on us known as The White House Beer Summit. Yes, it was a stupid event, that was brought about by the actions of an ignorant, narcissistic Ivy League professor, and was spurred on even more by Barack Obama with accusation that a police department acted "stupidly" when arresting his friend.

The only thing that this summit proved is the amateur status of Barack Obama. He is totally out of his league, and even out of his pay grade when he took on this job. His own narcissism was exposed when he came to the belief that he could just say anything, and we would all just have to accept it.

Here is how I came to the realization that racism is among the lowest of lows in any body's human nature and beliefs. And that means ALL racism, which includes the type that Professor Gates practices, along with that of President Obama's.

My father was one of the most rabid of racists and anti-Semites in the world. He was also one of the worst fathers, and NOT being involved with him in my life, and NOT wanting to be like him did have some influence why I have NO racist beliefs. But that did not confirm my strong anti-racist beliefs.

Being a child of the so called "Peace & Love" generation of the 60's and 70's had some influence also, but that also did not confirm my anti-racism beliefs. I have come to see though, that many of these so-called "Peace & Love" old "hippies" from the "Woodstock Generation" are the most hate filled liberals and people that I have ever seen.

The place that gave me my iron clad confirmation about the evils and the ignorance of any racist beliefs was - - - The United States Navy.

It was my third day at the Naval Training Center - Recruit Training Command in San Diego California. It was late June of 1974. We went into a classroom for the one and only "Race Relations Seminar" It lasted only for two hours. Our instructors were two Chief Petty Officers. Both men were big. One was black and the other was white. They were commonly known on the base as "Salt and Pepper."

My company of fellow recruits, whom I was honored to go through recruit training with, was comprised of all ethnic, racial, national and religious backgrounds. Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Asian and Filipino. We came from all over the country, and some even from other countries. When we all sat down in the classroom, written on the blackboards were all sorts of racial and ethnic slurs and myths from the most common to the most outrageous. Things like:

All Blacks have rhythm

All Mexicans carry long knives

All whites have destroyed this or that

All Jews have horns

Those were the mild ones. We all discussed these things and after about an hour, then the Chiefs unveiled a sign with the one Naval saying that has stuck with me ever since:

"ONE HAND FOR YOUR SHIP, THE OTHER HAND FOR YOUR SHIPMATE."

The big white Chief then said this with his thick southern accent:

"And I'm going to tell you this! When you're trapped below decks inside a burning compartment, and a hand reaches down to you to pull your sorry ass out of there, you're not going to give a damn what color skin that hand is!"

Then the Black Chief spoke:

"Any of you who have these types of ignorant beliefs had better find a way right now to box them up and throw them over the side and into the drink. Because there is no place for it here. This is the United States Navy. The only colors that should matter to you from this minute forward are the colors flapping on that flag pole outside, and if you should be wearing your dress blues or whites. In the Navy, there are no whites, there are no blacks, there are no Jews, Catholics, Chicanos, Baptists, Asians, Filipinos, Atheists or whatever! The only thing in the Navy - - - are Sailors; and the only difference with those Sailors is determined by their rank. So whatever stupid thought you may have still in your head, GET RID OF THEM --- NOW!"

I saw this with the fellow police officers who serve with Officer Crowley. All Police Officers of all races stood beside him. Because there is something about putting on a uniform and risking your life with whomever shares that uniform with you, that brings out that kind of camaraderie.

This is something that Barack Obama and his left wing ilk have learned the hard way on.

NOTE: I noticed that somebody in Obama's entourage was smart enough to make sure that Joe Biden only got a non-alcoholic beer.

Terrell Owens and the Bills

2009-07-27T10:02:00.003-05:00

Well, it the most wonderful time of the year. By the end of this week all 32 NFL teams should have their training camps up and running, for me that's my beloved Chicago Bears, and my AFC team The Oakland Raiders.

Yes, I am a football fanatic, a football addict you could even say. Why do I love the game of football so much? Well, it has several things about it that make it separate from all other sports. Here are a few of my reasons.

Football is the only true team sport. Everybody must be doing their job on every play in order to win. It is not like baseball, basketball and hockey where a few guys can carry a team. No, every man on that field is equally important with his team mates.
Every play counts, meaning every play is a big play. Yes, it is true, one play gone wrong can cost you a season.

Every game counts. There is not the luxury of playing 162 or 74 games where you have a buffer zone for losses.

Let me now focus on the first bullet point. Football is the only true team sport. Yes, we see the accomplishments of many guys that will stand out but I can tell you that Walter Payton would admit that half of those yards that he gained through his career would not have ever been chalked up if it were not for Matt Suhey running in front of him. The great Jim Brown would say the same, he could not have accomplished all that he did without the other 10 men on the field with him.

Let's talk Quarterbacks. Why are men like Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino, Roman Gabriel, Kurt Warner, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, and on and on and on; what is the main reason these quarterbacks were the best in the game? Simple, the had the best Linemen in the game protecting them. A quarterback is only as good as his line.

Which brings me back to my first bullet point. I now bring up the epitome of everything that will cause everything to go wrong for any football team. The pri-madonna. And the main one of the current NFL era: Terrell Owens.

Terrell Owens is now on his fourth football team, The Buffalo Bills. Here's the bad news for all the Bills fans. As long as Terrell Owens is on your team, the Bills are not going to do jacks**t. Here is a quick history of Terrell Owens and his NFL career. While Owens was on his teams, they were referred by him as:

T.O and the 49er's

T.O. and the Eagles

T.O. and the Cowboys

The first press conference I heard Owens at for the Bills, I heard him call it, yes, you guessed it; T.O. and the Bills. If you noticed the names of the cities that have the teams are not even allowed to be mentioned.

Now, T.O. has his own reality series on VH1, he is doing this during the season. Terrell Owens is a cancer to any team that he will be involved with. If you haven't noticed, look, none of those teams won the Super Bowl with him on it. Owens is a cancer to the National Football League, and he is a cancer to the game of football. Who is he going to start complaining about when he does not get the spotlight for the big plays? I mean I know your quarterback there is not dating Jessica Simpson, however Owens blamed her for his dropped passes once.

Well, I have to admit that I did indeed appreciate Terrell Owens when he played for the Dallas Cowboys, but that is because I HATE THE DALLAS COWBOYS!!!

Follow Up To - The "Nice" Bigot

2009-07-23T17:27:00.006-05:00

If you go on to YOUTUBE then you can see for yourself the exchange between Senator Barbara Boxer and Harry C. Alford of the Black Chamber of Commerce. You can also see other videos there of how this spoiled, self centered, narcissistic gentle bigot goes about to humiliate publicly anyone that opposes her and her left wing socialist agendas. She is right out of the socialist playbook on degrading and demeaning your opposition.

If you watch the exchange between Ms. Boxer and Mr. Alford, you will notice that Mr. Alford addresses Ms. Boxer as "ma'am" several times; and the Senator does not object to that once. Just a couple of weeks ago, Senator Boxer publicly humiliated and dressed down Brigadier General Michael Walsh for doing the exact same thing, telling the General to not call her "ma'am" but Senator. Her reason being? That she "worked so hard" for that title. (As if the General did not work so hard for his).

General Walsh has done more service to this country in one hour in his career than Barbara Boxer has in the entirety of her.

However, I believe I figured it out with Barbara Boxer and her gentile, sweet, reserved and introverted type of hatred, disrespect and racism. She prefers our military to call her Senator, but above all, she really prefers that all Americans of African decent had better well address her "ma'am"; because it's the closest thing to "massa" that she can get away with.

Sen. Barbara Boxer - The "Nice" Bigot

2009-07-21T17:53:00.005-05:00

The other day I witnessed as Senator Barbara, (don't call me 'ma'am'), Boxer, (D-CA), was chairing congressional hearings on the pending climate legislation known as the Waxman/Markey Bill. She got into a heated debate with the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Harry C. Alford.

Sen. Boxer kept wanting to add to the record the statements made by the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People, (NAACP), and another organization known as the 100 Black Men in Atlanta. Mr. Alford took offence to Ms. Boxer's strategy, that even Mr. Alford deemed as "old Jim Crow tactics" of pitting one black group against another. He accused Ms. Boxer of getting racial.

And Mr. Alford is correct, Ms. Boxer is what I refer to as a "nice bigot" or a "more gentle and composed racist". She will use these tactics to cause infighting among minority groups, keeping them from truly uniting in order for her to have her leftist political agendas become the law of the land. It hides her true racist feelings. She and her liberal ilk will use these organizations to get themselves elected and to keep their power over their constituents.

Question: How far has the African-American community really advanced since the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? How far have they advanced with the leadership that has taken his place? Advanced under Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farakahn?

How far have they advanced in the past 40 years with the NAACP? The one big word in their name is ADVANCEMENT. And how can an organization dedicated to their races advancement still use the outdated, and I may add, offensive words in today's terms as "COLORED PEOPLE"?

Why has every other ethnicity in this country advanced their people much more? The Hispanics, the Asians, and the Eastern Europeans.

I say that one reason is that the liberals, these "nice quiet bigots" such as Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, Henry Waxman, Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter, and yes, Bill and Hillary Clinton have helped to transform organizations such as ACORN, the National Black Caucus, RAINBOW/PUSH, and the NAACP from organizations that once helped to advance the African-American community; to organizations that help to "keep them in their place."

I would love to see how diverse the neighborhoods are of those politicians I just mentioned.

And on a personal note. I wish we would stop using the term "minority". I believe that no human being is a minority. When we stop letting liberal politicians refer to our fellow American citizens with this term, then the mindset of it will start to disappear. You are only a minority if you allow yourself to be.

The Cocktail Named for the OBAMA Die Hards.

2009-07-14T21:03:00.000-05:00

Okay, time for another great cocktail recipe, this one is one of my favorite tropical drinks. I chose this one because the name of it fits all of those starry-eyed, die hard, no matter how much he screws America up, supporters of president Obama. This cocktail is fittingly called:

THE ZOMBIE

Here's what you need:

1/2 oz. Bacardi light rum

1/2 oz. Myers dark rum

1/2 oz. Amaretto di Sarrano

1/2 oz. Cointreau

1 oz orange juice

1 oz. pineapple juice

1 oz. sweet & sour mix

First fill a tall glass with ice and place one or two straws directly down the center of the ice so that they will be right in the center of the ice and glass.

Then fill you mixing cup with ice and add all of the ingredients, shake vigorously for about twenty to thirty seconds then strain the mixture into the glass.

Now here is the topper, gently float about 1/2 oz. of Bacardi 151 rum on the top of the ZOMBIE, making sure some of the 151 goes over the straws and even inside of them so your guest will get a jolt on the first sip.

Top it of with a cherry and slice of orange

(With this presidency, were all going to need a few of these).

It Has Gotta Start With You!

2009-07-06T16:28:00.006-05:00

This afternoon, I entered the re-election headquarters of my Congressman, Mark Steven Kirk, Republican, of the 10th district of Illinois. I gave the staff members there my name, address and email address and informed them to immediately remove my name from any contact lists that I may be on.

The reason being? I informed them that Congressman Kirk's "aye" vote for the so called cap & trade bill last week was the final straw for me, and that I will no longer vote for, or support him on anything, anymore.

I told the staff members that if I wanted the agenda of the liberal democrats to become my way of life, well then I would have voted for the liberal democrats.

I further informed them that I need my representative to stand up to President Obama and all his ideas. I know that Mr. Kirk is suppose to represent all those in his district, but those who gave him the job should have some sort of priority.

I refuse to support a man who runs as a conservative, only to cower in these unstable times. I refuse to continue to support a man who became a Republican in name only. If by chance Mr. Kirk does get the Republican nomination, I will either support the Libertarian candidate, or leave that part of my ballot blank.

The new trend now these days seems to be these "tea parties". Perhaps the next tea parties should be held in front of the re-election offices of the eight Republican congressmen who voted with the liberals on this bill.

2009-07-06T12:44:00.006-05:00

This morning I watched as President Barack Hussein Obama signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russian president Dmitriy Anatolyevich Medvedev. The treaty calls for exactly what it says it is, for both countries to reduce their nuclear arsenals.

However, I know how this is going to work, because it is Vladimir Putin who still call the shots in Russia.

Putin, the former president of Russia.

Putin, the former head of the KGB.

One thing Putin is not a "former" of is a member of the communist party.

So, the deal will go down like this:

President Barack Hussein Obama will reduce our nuclear arsenal through dismantling it.

President Medvedev, and Vladimir Putin will reduce the nuclear arsenal of Russia, by selling parts of it off to Iran and North Korea.

One of my top rules in life. Never - - - EVER - - - trust a communist!

Question: Wasn't Dmitriy the name of the Russian president in the movie "Dr. Strangelove"? Coincidence maybe?

Real Conservative Housewives

2009-07-05T19:45:00.000-05:00

I really have to admire Jenny Sanford, the wife of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, and for how she is handling her husbands seemingly, ongoing, never ending soap opera on his tryst with his Argentinian soul mate. How she is standing up to the "love story" of her husbands.

Why do I admire her? Because she is doing what every woman should do in this situation. She is not thinking of her husbands political career or his standing. She's putting her family and her boys first, and she's dumping his sorry, teary eyed a**. She is showing the difference between conservative housewives, and "progressive" ones.

She's dumping him and letting him stand alone. She's not coddling to him and to the media. She's not like these weak women with low esteem who, after their husband is caught with the other woman, will go out there at the press conference holding his hand and looking at him with love and respect.

Take for example Dina McGreevey, "wife" of former New Jersey governor James McGreevey. Yes, he was caught having an affair alright, but unlike Mrs. Sanford, her husband was having an affair with a man. But, there she was, standing up on that podium, holding his hand and being there to support him, in his time of need. This is a time where she should of been selfish and thought of herself. But no, for some reason she had to be manipulated and do what she did. After he lied to her every day of their marriage, using her as a "beard".

Just what has that gotten her today?

Another example is Silda Spitzer, wife of the ex-governor of New York. He was caught using the family funds for high priced call girls. Not only was Silda publicly humiliated by her husband, but her life was endangered with every visit with every prostitute Spitzer was with in this day of AIDS and STD's. However there also was she, standing in front of the media frenzy, side by side with her straying hubby, helping to put on the front.

But you also have to look who these progressive ladies have as their mentor, none other than the wife of the "philanderer-in-chief", William Jefferson Clinton. Yes, there she is, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the most powerful woman in the world besides Oprah, and who was even proclaimed by the media as the "smartest woman in the world." But there she was, right after Bill admitted, before a Monday Night Football game, that he cheated on Hillary with Monica Lewinsky. There she was the next day, walking hand in hand with Bill, and they even forced little Chelsea into the fiasco, walking to Marine One; on their way to start "healing" at Camp David.

Healing? Yeah right, Bill was healing after having every object that was not nailed down thrown at him.

This is the difference between conservative wives and liberal ones. Conservative wives will not take the crap, while the liberal ones want to wallow in the drama. Maybe all these moronic women will get together and have their own reality series on television. Right after Dancing with the Stars.

And the price they will pay is with their dignity.

Where Has SHE Been?

2009-07-02T21:52:00.005-05:00

Helen Thomas is just NOW realizing that President Obama is manipulating the media? She is just NOW questioning the "transparency" of his administration? Are she and her cohorts just NOW seeing that he's just another fraudulent empty suit?

My first suspicion of Barack Obama was back during the campaign, when he had five different people fainting at five different campaign stops. This was just like when Bill Clinton visited Normandy Beach, remember that? There was Bill, all alone on the beach where the allies invaded Europe on June 6, 1944. All the cameras were on Bill as he found, "purely by coincidence", the only pile of stones withing 30 miles in either direction on that beach. And then Bill, at the spur of the moment was caught forming a crucifix from those stones. Yeah, it was a heart tugging moment.

Now, there was Barack, up there on the stage, ladling out the BS of his plans to take over the lives off all the citizens of the United States, as he just happen to spot someone in the audience fainting, then intervened, making sure that the person received the proper medical attention. And this happened not once, not twice, not three times, but I believe five times. Yes, only the Messiah could do that.

Now, the Dear Leader is being questioned on his tactics concerning the loaded questions by selected persons at his "open" town hall debates. Are these "journalists" starting to feel as if they are being used?

I believe now that we are seeing the first chink in the Presidents shiny armor. I think this is the media equivalent of discovering that your boyfriend has been cheating on you. And now Helen Thomas, I repeat HELEN THOMAS is stating that she has never, repeat NEVER seen an administration do to the press what the current one has.

I also have a theory on this. Yes, the media is saturated with liberals. But now, liberals are beginning to see their own jobs in jeopardy. Liberals need to eat too. Come on! Does Helen Thomas believe that the Boston Globe is staying afloat because those who still buy the newspaper do so just see her pretty face and to read her column? The truth of the matter is that it is the Boston Red Sox that help to keep whatever newspaper sales that are still there, along with the Bruins, Patriots and Celtics.

If it were not for professional and collegiate sports being reported on in the Sports Sections, then all newspapers would be bankrupt and closed. If the newspapers want to survive, fire everybody, downsize completely and just sell the sports section.

Here is my question to you Ms. Thomas. As Major Garrett from FOX NEWS asked the President last week about the turmoil taking place in Iran. When the President finally made his feelings known. "Where have you been?"

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH MINNESOTA?

2009-07-01T22:06:00.003-05:00

What is the matter with the voting adults of Minnesota? Come on! Al Franken? Al Franken is now a United States Senator?

Didn't the people of Minnesota learn anything by having Jesse "The Body" Ventura as their Governor? I guess not.

I know what will be next up there. The people of Minnesota will see absolutely nothing wrong with having Michael Vick become their new quarterback for the Vikings.

A Good Senator?

2009-07-01T17:39:00.002-05:00

Al Franken thinks that he's going to be a good senator?

He wasn't even a good comedian!

Bend Over

2009-06-29T13:29:00.003-05:00

Barack Obama.

A politician who learned how to govern Chicago Style;

Who just took over Detroit business;

And will now make over the other 49 states into California.

(Wait a minute, according to President Obama, the other 56 states).

Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009

2009-06-26T10:24:00.005-05:00

Well now we're into the first full day after the death of Michael Jackson, and it appears that all of the other real troubles in the world have had their priority downgraded.

I'm surprised that they are not going to have cameras in the coroners room to broadcast his autopsy live.

So, I suppose that for the next two weeks or so we'll be bombarded with his videos on television, his music on the radio, and the ceaseless "candlelight vigils" all over the world. The real disappointment will come to his most rabid of admirers when, three days after his burial, he WILL NOT be resurrected from the dead and ascend into heaven.

Now we see the reports of how when Jacko died that he was at least $500,000,000.00 in debt. Well that problem will be easily resolved with the next 12 months. Because unfortunately in this situation, (as was the situation with Elvis Presley), Michael Jackson is going to make more money dead than alive.

Chaz Bono, My Concern for People Like "Him"

2009-06-24T18:00:00.000-05:00

Recently, Ms. Chastity Bono, daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, announced that she will soon undergo the surgical procedures necessary to become: Chaz Bono, the SON of Cher and the late Sonny Bono.

Now, I'm going to state my belief that may come as a shock to some of you. I believe that homosexuality - - - is normal. I believe that it is natural. Meaning, that I believe one is born a homosexual or lesbian. It is not, as some believe, a lifestyle of, or by choice. The only thing that is unnatural about the same sex relationships are that the homosexual and lesbian sex act cannot produce a pregnancy.

When it comes to the subject of the "transgendered' though, that I have to say can not be deemed as natural. Ms. Bono is a masculine female, and there are feminine males. They may be "females in a man's body" physically, and vice versa. But I am sorry, even after Ms. Bono successfully completes her surgery, in reality she will always be a female who is cosmetically and surgically enhanced to appear as a male. (And vice versa for the male to female surgery).

Three thousand years from now, when some futuristic anthropologist and/or archaeologist digs up Ms. Bono's remains and runs the DNA test on her calcified skeleton, they will make the scientific determination that they have found the remains of a female.

Now, here is my concern for the transgendered people of the world. It is something that concerns me because it is NOT natural. In order for Ms. Bono to remain looking as Mr. Bono, she/he will have to undergo lifelong drug and hormone therapies. Now, if she were a real male after this surgery, why then will she require testosterone treatments for the rest of her life? If she were a real male, why then can't she produce her own male hormones?

She will have to have these treatments because her body, still being that of a natural female, cannot remain looking male. Her body will always be fighting the effects of the treatments. This is in actuality a silent and gentle continuous trauma to her body. (And again vice versa to all male to female transgendered).

My concern is what long term effect this lifelong internal battle have on the transgendered? How does this effect their long term health? What is the life expectancy of a person who is surgically transgendered?

Is there any scientists in the health profession that have ever studied these long term affects?

Has the urge for instant gratification taken prescedent over what may be right? And that is for those who believe that they were born the wrong physical gender, that they may just have to accept and live with what they were born with. If you are a masculine female, just live with what you have, it may be safer.

"Billy" Joe Biden

2009-06-23T11:00:00.003-05:00

I'm a survivor of the Jimmy Carter era.

It amazes me that, well, Jimmy Carter is still alive and many other people who had to bear the burdens his leadership caused are still alive also. And many of them did not learn from their own personal experience and history. Because they keep electing more "Jimmy Carter's."

We now have a President who with his own narcissism may just out do Jimmy Carter. Can you imagine that? Barack Hussein Obama may just out "Jimmy Carter" even Jimmy Carter.

I would say that all that is missing for Obama is Billy Carter. But then I realize that Barack Obama has Joe Biden.

The Suspension of Donte Stallworth

2009-06-22T14:30:00.004-05:00

"The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life and was inexcusable. While the criminal justice system has determined the legal consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to determine the appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players and the NFL."

- - - Roger Goodell

NFL Commissioner

In his letter to Cleveland Browns WR Donte' Stallworth

on his league suspension

June 18, 2009

Finally! A commissioner of a professional sports league that has a set of some BIG STEEL ONES. This decision was handed down to Donte Stallworth, wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Stallworth is responsible for the death of 59 year old Mr. Mario Reyes, a Miami construction worker, who was running to catch a bus after his shift at about 7:15 AM. That's right I said AM, as in the early morning. Stallworth was driving while under the influence of alcohol because he had been drinking all night at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach.

However the real tragedy came when the judge in Stallworth's case sentenced him to, are you ready for this, just 30 DAYS IN JAIL! To say this sentence is outrageous is a gross understatement. Stallworth also had his drivers license in Florida suspended for life, must undergo drug and alcohol testing, and must perform 1,000 hours on community service.

Stallworth signed a seven year, $35, 000, 000.00 contract with the Cleveland Browns and the night before he got drunk and killed Mr. Reyes he earned a $4,500,000.00 roster bonus. So Stallworth had plenty of money to get himself such a light sentence. Funny, all he would of have to of done is take maybe $500 that night to invest in the services of a limousine. Hell, maybe even just $30 for a cab, or Jeez, he could even of just stayed at the hotel.

Stallworth has the option to meet with Commissioner Goodell, and Stallworth's attorney, Mr. David Cornwell, states that he hopes that the Commsioner will take this opportunity to review "the unique facts involved" to help reduce Stallworth's suspension.

Mr. Cornwell, the only "unique facts" that the Commissioner or anybody else in this country has to know is that you have to be a complete and total brain dead moron to not know that drinking and driving anywhere in this country is illegal and deadly.

There was a unique case here in Illinois some years ago where a woman, who was taking a nap on the sofa in her own living room was killed by a drunk driver who swerved off the road and plowed his car right into her house. The ironic thing about the situation was that the woman was a high ranking member of the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, (M.A.D.D.).

I am so overjoyed to finally have a commissioner of a professional sports league finally stand up to these overpaid, over spoiled self made divas who have been allowed to denigrate and destroy the integrity of the sports world and give them the long overdue spanking they deserve. And I'm am so proud that it is coming from the commissioner of the league that is my favorite sport.

I don't want to hear about how "hard" they work and the "pressure" that they are under. They dare try to compare their "hard work and pressure" to the everyday Joe, (and Josephine), white or blue collar, who is out there everyday busting their butts? Especially in this economy? I would gladly love to get paid millions of dollars to work out, lift weights, study my upcoming opponent and play a game.

Why am I so passionate about this? Well the answer is that this deals with something that I personally have experienced. You see, I am one one the rarest survivors of a head on collision with a drunk driver. About eleven years ago I was on my way home from one of the locations of my family's business. It was just past 9:00 PM and I was taking the usual path home. The road I usually took was under reconstruction and had been narrowed down to a single two way blacktop. I was traveling at 35 MPH, up ahead I saw some headlights appear and they were swerving, I believed at first that the driver was trying to avoid debris in the road. It turned out that he was extremely intoxicated and at that moment he was traveling at 65 MPH. He swerved in front of me in the last 20 yards his car was traveling and we met head on with the combined impact of over 100 MPH.

I was knocked unconscious for a couple of minutes. But what made me state that I am one of the RAREST survivors of a head on DUI incident is you see, even though I had to be cut out of my car, and even though I had to go to the emergency room, I got to go home two hours after the incident. I walked out of the hospital with minor bruises and some aches and pains; and of course now minus a car.

The other guy? Well that's another story. He had to have his blood alcohol level tested intravenously and the results were that he was THREE and ONE HALF times over the legal limit in the state of Illinois at that time, (it was LOWERED some months later). His car was split in four pieces. He suffered two broken legs, a broken arm, eight broken ribs, a skull fracture and over 400 stitches.

But my point is that there are other victims in DUI more than the sober party and their family. There is the family of the DUI driver themselves. I found that the man who struck me had a wife and children at home and he made his living working for a local landscaper. This man could of been killed himself and he had a family at home that depended on him to support them. Yes, he is the one who chose to get totally hammered that night, and he is the one that is at total fault in my situation. However, if he were killed that night, do you think that I could live easily knowing that I was involved in that?

When you drink and drive, you put your own family and loved ones at risk also. If you take the life of someone because of your DUI, in my opinion it's murder. You might as well take a gun and fire randomly into a crowd, it is the same thing.

I'd love to hear from anyone who can argue with that.

I Have Marked His Words

2009-06-18T22:30:00.007-05:00

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We are about to elect a brilliant 47 year old senator president of the United States of America Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else that I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy".

---Sen. Joe Biden

October 2008

at a democratic Fundraiser in Seattle

I'm sorry to start out with Joe Biden's full quote but I'm not into editing thing with that ". . . " routine. Joe said this right after both the Republican and democratic conventions were finished. This goes to show you the "character" of Joe Biden. He always has to say something and get in front of that camera first. When there is a presidential election, and both parties have their candidates chosen; then those four people begin to get briefings from the intelligence agencies in our government. This is where they learn of all of the real bad things going on in the world that not even they were privy to until their nominations. After the elections, then the winners, this now meaning Obama and Biden, are then briefed on all the other things that are were still not privy too.

After the initial briefings to the Republican and democratic candidates, I would have to wager that all had their jaws drop to find out that yes, it really is that bad out there in the world. So what happened here? Did you all notice what I did? I noticed this after those first initial briefings:

Barack Obama kept his mouth shut.

John McCain kept his mouth shut.

Sarah Palin kept her mouth shut.

Joe Biden jumped in front of the first camera he saw and made the above statement. Joe Biden is responsible for some of the most sensitive material coming from our intelligence agencies, and he's just gotta go blurt out what he learned to just to grandstand and try to get elected. Come on, is Sarah Palin still looking bad to all of you now? Plus, there's all of Joe's other gaffes, but that's for many other blogs.

Mr. Biden continued and went on to say "I can give you four or five scenarios from where it might originate." I probably can give more, however for now I will discuss only two.

My two points though are not scenarios, they are events happening at this very moment; and these are not "a generated crisis" as Joe Biden states. These are deliberate acts of aggression. The first event is in Iran, not only with the current political upheaval over the elections, but the self proclaimed winner, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is openly building a nuclear arsenal, conducting missile tests and as a recognized head of state is openly threatening, and calling for the complete destruction of the state of Israel. He is also a recognized head of state that denies the historical fact that is known as The Holocaust.

I have noticed that with the upheaval in the streets of Iran, President Obama prefers to remain neutral, that he does not want to meddle in the affairs of Iran, he won't even show support to the protesters in the streets. However, President Obama does meddle in the affairs of Israel by telling Benjamin Netanyahu where he can and can not build Israeli settlements.

In my opinion, as long as Barack Hussein Obama is President of the United States, then Israel is completely on their own; and that anyone who does not support America, does not support Israel.

The other event is North Korea. Kim Jong Il is openly conducting nuclear tests, openly conducting missile tests, currently has an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, (ICBM), on a North Korean launch pad, and has his government state that the armistice between him and South Korea is null and void, thus technically restarting the hostilities that was known as the Korean War. He also now holds two American "journalists" prisoner in the North Korean "work camps."

Vice President Biden, I say this to you and everyone in this country. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il are NOT "testing" this young president as you say. They are in fact threatening him. Why? Because they can, because he is weak and they know he is weak. He is inexperienced in these matters and they know it.

There is an old saying, and I will have to clean it up here because of my rules on swearing, so I'll edit it:

"YOU CAN'T BULLS**T - - - A BULLS**TER."

Both Kim and Ahmadinejad both have been BS'ing a lot longer than Barack Obama, they own their countries media as does Obama here, well 95% of it anyway. But there is one thing that Obama has to his disadvantage in the United States than Kim and Ahmadinejad do not have in North Korea and Iran. That disadvantage here is known as the 2nd Amendment. (It's still a disadvantage so far anyway).

Joe Biden said of Obama that night when it comes to foreign policy, "This guy has it." As if all he has to to is raise his hands to these two tyrants and they both will see the errors of their ways and stop what they're doing immediately.

I was on Teri Obrien's Blogtalk Radio Show last Sunday and she asked a question of basically what it is going to take for all the starry eyed supporters of President Obama to realize that they are wrong in their unwavering love for him.

My answer was that it WILL have to take Iran to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, and that it WILL have to take Kim Jong Il to pour his troops over the South Korean border and start the Korean War all over again; and unfortunately it WILL take another terrorist attack on our country that will be worse that 9/11. Because an upper level person in the FBI stated after the attacks of 9/11 that "there was not enough blood", because people will forget this all with time.

Biden also stated that "this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just the markets." The economy is what Obama keeps us focused on so that we won't see just how weak he is on these other, yes, more important matters. Why is President Obama more concerned with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity more than Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Why is he more concerned with FOX NEWS, than with these tyrannical regimes?

Oh, I know what's going to happen. Kim WILL invade South Korea and fire missiles at Japan and the closest U.S. soil; and Ahmadinejad WILL fire nuclear missiles and Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Tel Aviv, there WILL be a more destructive attack in the United States; and Obama and his hordes will find a way to blame George W. Bush.

BLUE MARTINI

2009-06-14T13:17:00.010-05:00

Time for another cocktail recipe from your favorite Internet bartender. This one is called the BLUE MARTINI, or you can even refer to it by its nickname: WINDEX. After I give you the recipe I'll give you a scenario on how to serve it in a certain situation.

For this cocktail you will need:

3 1/2 ounces of Vodka

1/2 ounce of Blue Curacao

Preparation:

First, chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, then set it to the side. Take your metal martini shaker, fill it with ice, then add the Blue Curacao followed by the Vodka. Cover and shake the ingredients vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds, let the customer see the condensation grow on the shaker. (I prefer martinis made "James Bond Style," meaning shaken, not stirred). Then dump the ice and water from the martini glass and strain the ingredients into it. Garnish with either a lemon twist or an orange peel twist. If the Blue Martini is made properly it will look just like the glass cleaner WINDEX. (Adjust the amount of Blue Curacao to attain this).

Now here's a good scenario. Woman comes into your bar, by the way she is dressed you can tell that she is a business woman. She looks a bit tired and worn out. When you ask for her order she tells you that she's had a bad day and to make something special. Start to make the Blue Martini, during your preparation ask her then if she has ever seen the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Of course she will answer "yes" because it only happens to be the highest grossing chick flick in the history of motion pictures. Ask her then if she remembers the character of the obsessively Greek father, again she will answer yes. Ask her then if she remembers the fathers cure for practically everything. At that point place the chilled martini glass in front of her and say:

"Here then, put a little WINDEX on it."

I'm Not Buying It

2009-06-13T11:28:00.005-05:00

As long as President Obama, along the liberal congress and senate, are the owners of Chrysler and GM, (don't fall for that crap that WE, the American taxpayers, are the owners), I WILL NOT buy anything manufactured from them. I will not buy any type of "automobile" that they will produce. I still have some sort of freedom of choice, and I choose TO NOT fall in line with this administration. I remember when I moved to Detroit in 1981 and I was warned by my old man that I HAD BETTER get rid of my foreign car before I arrived, if I wanted it to remain in one piece. I HAD BETTER BUY AMERICAN. Now Obama has made it so that we all will now look to Japan, South Korea, and Germany for our transportation. (May as well add Italy to this group, since they are now part of GM).

If you want to do the same, please do so while you can. Next thing you know Obama will appoint a "Purchasing Czar" to make sure we will buy from Obama Motors. (Hey, I have an idea, Obama can use Joe Biden as a pitchman for the new OBAMA MOTORS, he'd be perfect. I mean every time I see or hear Joe Biden, I feel like I'm buying a bad used car anyway. He's just like these guys you see on the auto dealer commercials, with those slicked back hair plugs and porcelain teeth).

Good thing I quit smoking 33 years ago, because Obama took over the tobacco industry yesterday.

Michael Moore-Give Them Your Piece of the Pie

2009-06-10T21:08:00.044-05:00

"The truth is, most Americans don't want much. Folks don't want the whole pie, most Americans feel blessed to thrive a little bit. But that's out of reach for them. In order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone else is going to give up their piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

- - - Michelle Obama

April 8, 2008

Campaigning in North Carolina

Now you're probably wondering why then do I have a picture of Michael Moore attached next to Mrs. Obama's statement. I'll tie them together at the end. On Monday, June 1, 2009, Mr. Moore had an article on his website on his "joy" on the demise of General Motors.

Mr. Moore states that he is filled with anxiety over what happened to what he says is his "hometown" Flint Michigan, that 40% of the homes and businesses are abandoned and how would we feel if we lived in a city where almost every house were empty? You know, I was born in Detroit in 1955, and in that year there were 3 million people living in Detroit, during the 60's and 70's there was a mass migration out and now the city has a population well below a million. My running joke is that "yeah, I'm from Detroit, FAR FROM Detroit. So this is nothing new to the state of Michigan. I can explain why Detroit is still empty and why Mr. Moore is only half correct on the demise of GM.

Mr. Moore believes that it was the policy of only the management of GM to allow an inferior product be made so that the public would be forced to purchase a new automobile every few years. I have a personal account that proved to me that this is not true and that the UAW workers had some hand in this debacle because my father worked in the auto plants and was a UAW member. He told me personally that the workers would deliberately install parts that they knew were of bad quality and would soon breakdown after the purchase of the automobile. When I asked him why they allowed this, his answer was: "Because mechanics at the auto dealers are union too".

Mr. Moore also makes the charge that GM and their management are responsible for bringing "misery, divorce, alcoholism, homelessness, physical and mental debilitation, and drug addiction to the people I grew up with". Does Mr. Moore actually believe that GM and the auto industry have a monopoly on miserable employees? Mr. Moore should pay a visit to employees who work on the sales floors for corporate retail stores in this country. (Oh damn, I just may have given him an idea for yet another one of his so called "documentaries").

Mr. Moore states that we the American taxpayers, under President Obama, will spend $50 billion dollars to try and save GM. Meanwhile the good news is that WE all now own GM. I will have to agree with Mr. Moore that "the only way to save GM is to kill GM", however I would rather it die under the natural laws of economics by going through bankruptcy than with the help of the government. (Capitalism without bankruptcy is like religion without sin). Because under bankruptcy, the courts will not only decide who will get paid what, but also who is responsible for the demise of the company and have them removed; and this not only means the management, but bad employees as well. With what I witnessed with my father and his co-workers, there are just as many bad employees in any company as well as management. Mr. Moore only wants to hold GM management responsible for this extreme downturn in the business of GM as well as the auto industry in general.

Mr. Moore then goes on with his own nine point, shall I dare say it, socialist program to not only save GM but the entire American auto industry. You begin to see Mr. Moore's absurdity right off in point number one. He is asking President Obama to do as President Franklin Roosevelt had done after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941; to inform the nation that "we are at war", and that this nation must now immediately convert our auto factories from building cars to other more important and vital machines.

(Now I'm surprised at two things here, first that Mr. Moore even acknowledged that WE WERE attacked at Pearl Harbor, and second, that he actually did not go off on a rant that it was somehow the fault of the United States that the Japanese attacked us in the first place).

Now the absurdity is that our enemy is not like that of Imperial Japan, rather the enemies are in actuality the CEO's of of the auto industry and also the other favorite liberal target, the CEO's of the oil industry. Mr. Moore goes on to state that the CEO's of the "Big Three" automakers have been making a product, (cars), that "are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps". That the CEO's of the oil industry "are committed to fleecing us whenever they can". He also added the lumber "tycoons" to this group. Yes, Mr. Moore is saying that our greatest enemy IS NOT an extreme organization that has bastardize a religion and has convinced themselves that everyone in the world who does not believe in that religion, or for that matter believe in that religion the way they do - - - must die, and GOD himself has given them permission to do so.

(NOTE: Al Gore said that the polar ice cap will be completely melted by September - - - 2008. Plus, can anybody ever show me any time in its history that any UAW worker, or any union oil worker or even any member of a lumberjack union had ever stopped what they were doing, quit their job, left their union to stand up to the company's that they were employed by and saying that they could no longer be a part of the manufacture of these "weapons of mass destruction" and to keep on participating in this ongoing assault on Mother Nature and the environment? I'll say confidently "no". So I state that the unions and their workers are just as responsible).

In points 2 thru 5 asks President Obama to NOT put another $30 billion dollar into the coffers of GM, but to now use that money, since we ALL now own GM, to keep the current workforce and to use these factories now to produce new models of transportation such as bullet trains that can cross the country in 17 hours, or from Chicago to Detroit in two. (Need I remind Mr. Moore that the government now runs AMTRAK, and it has been in the red for decades). He also wants these factories to build the vehicles needed for "light" rail systems for all cities; and for those who live in more rural areas the factories can build energy efficient clean buses.

Point six deals with of course how these factories must produce hybrid and all electric cars.

Point seven states that some of the factories are to be converted to produce windmills and solar panels and other alternate forms of energy. I notice that AGAIN, the option of nuclear power for electricity is not mentioned. (It acceptable by Mr. Moore and most liberals for Europe to have nuclear power plants, but not the United States; 83% of the electricity produced in France alone is from nuclear power).

Points 8 and 9 deal with what liberals love the most, taxes. However, these points contradict each other. Point eight states that we must then give tax incentives for anyone who travels by hybrid car, bus, or train and for anyone who converts their homes to use alternative energy. So, you'd think these people would be saving a buck or two. But then in point nine, Mr. Moore takes these savings from these people by having the government then impose a $2 tax on EVERY GALLON of gasoline. (Thus causing the prices of taking the bus and train to rise, as well as any product that requires to be shipped by using gasoline).

Now, let me tie this all together with what Mrs. Obama stated. Mr. Moore also stated in his column that the best way that we must transport ourselves is with the use of light rail, bullet trains and cleaner buses. Well Mr. Moore I say this to you, lead by example. I will, when you will. When I see you, dressed in a tuxedo, take the light rail to then catch the clean bus so that you can attend the next of those many awards shows that the entertainment industry has on television every seven to ten days, then I'll do it. When I see you in the same tuxedo take the METRA in Paris, and then a bus to Cannes, I'll do it. When I see you driving a SMART car everywhere, then I will do it.

Now, for the big challenge for you Mr. Moore. Do as the original Messiah said when he was asked by the rich man what he must do to follow him. Jesus told him to give up all that he had to the poor, then he could follow. I'm not asking you to go to the extreme that Jesus asked the rich man, no, but I will ask you to do what the wife of our present day messiah says. In fact, do what Joe Biden said Mr. Moore, yes, it's "time for you to get patriotic".

I know that your "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11 has made millions of dollars for you, that your career has given you quite a good personal portfolio. Mr. Moore, it's time to give up your share of the pie. If you really care for the people of your "hometown" of Flint, and you know how hard their lives are at this time, then it's time for YOU to give THEM a huge share of YOUR pie. Take all the money that you have in you savings, your 401K, your stocks and bonds, all the money in you portfolio and cash it all in. Then have these monies changed in either VISA or American Express prepaid gift cards, all with an equal amount of your share of the pie, and distribute them to all the poor souls of Flint. However, I will amend this from what the original Messiah had asked, you can keep 4 million dollars of you pie for yourself. Because like Mrs. Obama has said, most "Americans don't want much. Folks don't want the whole pie." Come on Mr. Moore, do as our President, Vice-President and First Lady ask, prove to us that they are right, give up YOUR piece of the pie.

Come on Mr. Moore - - - LEAD BY EXAMPLE!

While you're at it, get all of your other friends to do the same. Barbra Streisand, Joy Behar, Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, Harry Belefonte, Nick Nolte, Sheryl Crow, Oliver Stone and Bruce Springsteen. Get them all to give up THEIR SHARE of the pie also.

Give it up Mr. Moore, or shut up. And by the way, take off that stupid Michigan State Spartans hat, you know that you are a closet Ohio State fan.

My Bold Prediction on the Sarah Palin "Option"

The Government of North Korea has had an underground test of a nuclear weapon that is the equivalent of the one used on Hiroshima; that is followed by six missile tests, and now Kim Jong Il has an ICBM missile on a launch pad, this weapon has the capacity to reach American soil. To add to this, Kim Jong Il has suspended the armistice of 1953, therefore, according to Kim, the Korean War is officially back on. They have also now kidnapped two American "journalists" and are holding them as pawns to get what they can from President Obama.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran also has been testing missiles, is advancing his country's nuclear technology, is threatening to "wipe Israel off the map", and denies that the Holocaust even happened.

Israel now is on its own. (By the way, antisemitism is again on the rise in Europe, and I am sad to say, here in the United States as well).

Communism appears to making a comeback in Russia thanks to Vladimir Putin.

President Obama is showing that he has never been a student of either history, social studies and even economics by printing American currency and borrowing money from our enemies to "save the economy".

President Obama has successfully nationalized General Motors, Chrysler and many of the nations banks. As far as GM goes, the President keeps making the statement that he "doesn't want to be in the car business." If this is true then why is he?

The President now wants to nationalize our health care system.

The President has a media on his side that will never question or criticize anything he proposes and/or actually makes happen. All those who do criticize and question are berated, insulted, demonized and threatened.

This isn't a Presidency, this is a cult.

Trillions, trillions of dollars being printed and spent, and many of our citizens keep themselves in denial over the near future consequences that are coming over these policies.

And all of this because people were convinced that SARAH PALIN would be bad for the country. Sarah Palin would be more dangerous. You know, Sarah Palin actually knows what it is like to be in the work force. She was never pampered and given a free ride through the top institutions of higher learning in this country as was Obama. A man who has absolutely no idea of how the world really is; who has no idea what evil is.

A President that is so into himself and of how he is being portrayed, (Thank you Oprah for "The One"), that he believes that our enemies don't see him as an American, and that they don't want him as dead as the rest of us.

Here is my bold prediction:

That six months from now, most of the people who voted for President Obama, (to "send a message"), will start to believe that the option of Sarah Palin maybe wasn't so bad at all.

American Feminists-Recommended Reading-BURNED ALIVE

2009-06-09T11:45:00.000-05:00

I highly suggest that everybody, especially the so-called feminists in the United States, to read this book. It is called BURNED ALIVE, a Victim of the Law of Men, by SOUAD.

It is the true story of a young girl who is raised under Islamic Sharia Law and what is known as "The Law of Men". Under these laws women have absolutely no rights at all, and their value is believed to be of less than that farm livestock. In fact, her father would tell her that a "cow is more valuable than a woman, because what could you get for a woman?"

She falls in love with a man in her village. The man knows of the feelings of the young girl towards him and one day seduces her as she was attending to the livestock. The man told her that he loved her and gave the impression that he would marry her. However, that was not to be and Souad later discovers that she has been impregnated by this man.

In this culture a young girl who becomes pregnant out of wedlock brings great dishonor to her family. When it is discovered by the men in the family of her pregnancy, one of them was placed in charge of bringing back that family honor. Souad was then targeted with the practice of "honor killing."

The way it was done to her is that the chosen male family member came to her house when she was alone. When her back was turned he then poured petrol all over her and then set her alight. She ran from her yard and onto the street where the other women managed to put out the flames.

Souad survived the attack. However, she spent weeks in a "hospital room" with her chin literally welded to her chest. She received no medical attention whatsoever, reason being that she was sent to this hospital "room" to die, because the "doctors and nurses" of this hospital believed in the practice of honor killing. While she lay in her "bed", Souad gave birth to her son.

An Israeli woman hears of Soaud's plight and negotiates to have her released to her as well as her son. The Israeli woman succeeds and has Soaud taken to a hospital in Israel, where afterwards, when she is strong enough to, has her taken to a European country where she still hides to this day.

Every time you pick up this book you'll find that you cannot help but to stare into the eyes of her masked face. Her face was not disfigured in the fire, she wears the mask to hide her identity, because she still fears for her life today. Her family is still dishonored because she did not die, and they are still sworn to finish what they started with her; and she knows that they will travel anywhere to finish what they started.

I challenge any American woman who considers herself a "feminist" to read this book. Afterwards, ask yourselves, "where do you stand on REAL issues that concern women? Not in this country, but worldwide?" After reading Soaud's story can you see how the women's movement for women "rights" in this country will seem trivial?

Where are the feminists and their organizations in America when it comes to women's rights around the world. In countries and cultures where women are not allowed to drive; not allowed to travel alone unless they are with a male family member; not allowed to participate in elections; are not allowed to get an education; are not allowed to have a say on who they are to marry; not allowed to learn to read or write; and not allowed to testify in court against any man who has violated them?

How about in countries and cultures whose idea of divorce is to take the woman out into the front yard, tell her three times that you divorce her, then put a bullet in the back of her head? (Or even suffer the same fate as Souad).

Let's go to a more "modern" country, China. I know how the feminists feel about abortion, but how do they feel about state forced abortion like they do have in China, because in that country every family is only allowed to have one child. When a women becomes pregnant a second or third time, the state forces her to abort the child.

Where is Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinam, Jane Fonda, Patricia Ireland and the National Organization for Women on the violation of the human rights to women all over the world. Why so silent? What are they doing?

Oh, I can answer that, they have two priorities here in America for Women's Rights.

1. To have the right to get an abortion no matter what the reason and no matter how long in the pregnancy, and:

2. To make sure that some day women will be able to get memberships at the Augusta National Golf Club.

D-DAY + 65 YEARS

2009-06-06T08:38:00.017-05:00

June 6, 1944, today is the 65th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy which resulted in the liberation of all Europe and northern Africa.

For those of us who can: REMEMBER AND HONOR. This is why they are referred to as: THE GREATEST GENERATION.

For those young people who don't, take those stupid iPods out of your ears and take the time to learn the difference between of what is right and important, from what is popular. Then when you've come to the point where you can differentiate between the two, then you too will REMEMBER AND HONOR.

Hey President Obama, I'm watching the ceremonies right now. Where is Queen Elizabeth II? Someone who actually, as a young girl, participated in the fight? What's the matter? Afraid she would take away from your camera time? I didn't politicize this, you and Sarkozy did when you both deliberately snubbed her.

Let's Re-Name Wrigley Field

2009-06-05T14:19:00.026-05:00

I moved to Chicago over three decades ago from Scottsdale Arizona. Yes, while growing up in Scottsdale I did happen to fall under the infatuation with the Chicago cubs because they use to play their winter baseball just about 1/4 mile from my house. However that all changed when I moved to Chicago. My late dear father-in-law first turned me on to the WHITE SOX when I moved here, however I also started to see through the cub facade.

One reason I love the WHITE SOX is because they have an actual owner, right now that is Mr. Jerry Reinsdorff. The cubs on the other hand are owned by a corporation, the Chicago Tribune. When you have an actual owner, you have a face and a person to blame when your team is doing bad, and someone to never give any credit to when they are doing great. With the cubs, there is no face. However because they were owned by what was once a multi-million dollar corporation, that dealt in the media, the cubs became more that a baseball team, they became a tourist attraction.

The Tribune Company marketed the cubs very well. The Tribune Company turned WGN television in a cable Super Station, thus bringing the cubs to all of America. How else can you explain it when you have a last place team that sells out their stadium, day after day, with, at one time, all day games? Half those people at those games weren't even from Chicago, they were from Idaho and Iowa or someplace else that WGN reached; and when they found themselves having the opportunity to come to Chicago, well they just HAD to add to their itinerary to "go see the cubs and sing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with Harry."

I did get to answer that question one evening while listening to ESPN AM 1000 here in Chicago. The two talk show hosts were debating why Wrigley Field was always sold out, while the WHITE SOX had empty seats during the week at night games. One host was a cub fan, the other a SOX fan. I called in and got the opportunity to answer the question. I said, "It's very simple, SOX fans have jobs, and if they don't, they're out looking for them."

Now the Chicago Tribune finds itself in in dire financial difficulties, (so bad that both the Tribune and the Sun-Times are in bankruptcy), along with the rest of the newspapers in this country, mainly because of 24 hour news cable stations and the Internet, but also because they are so biased, nobody believes what their "journalists" report anymore. I can state confidently that if it were not for the SPORTS SECTION, then 60% of the country's newspapers would have already gone under.

So to help themselves out of these financial difficulties, the top brass of the Chicago Tribune have decided to sell off their greatest asset, the Chicago cubs. This means that the cubs will have an actual owner and if they do this, I just may support them if they ever find themselves in a World Series, (yeah right, like THAT is ever going to happen).

Now in this age of corporate sponsorship I feel that I have to say the the cubs for far too long have been letting the Wrigley Family as well as the Wrigley Chewing Gum Company get away with, for almost three decades not paying, the cubs advertising royalties. William Wrigley sold the cubs to the Chicago Tribune in 1981. So, when a new owner is decided upon, I as a WHITE SOX fan have a suggestion for our minor league team on the north side. Sell the naming rights to Wrigley field to the KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION of Conway Arkansas. Then they can rename Wrigley Field after their most famous product. That's right, I propose that the new name for Wrigley Field be:

KOTEX FIELD.

Just think of the possibilities. First of all once a month you can have cubs Tampon day for all the female cub fans. Once a month they can pass out free cubs commemorative tampons to the first 12,000 female fans age 13 and over. To make it even more special, the tampons come in a special cardboard or plastic insertion tube in the shape of a baseball bat with that cute little cubs logo at the tip. The tampon itself will be specially colored in blue and white, (the ladies later on will provide the red). Hey! The ladies themselves could at some time during the game, take the tampons out of the tubes and twirl them over their heads like a rally towel.

Another way Kimberly-Clark can promote their product is in the vending machines in all the ladies restrooms. Each sanitary napkin will come in a special box, on the front will be the cubs logo, maybe even with a illustration of the new KOTEX FIELD, however on the back is a special cubs baseball trading card show all the famous cubs past and present. The card will be on the perforated part of the box so when the lady opens it not only will she have one of her favorite cubs picture on the front but all their lifetime stats on the back. Ah yes I can see the pictures now, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Mark Grace and Ryne Sandberg and on and on. A different one on every box so the ladies can just collect them all.

They could even make a commemorative card for both Jack Brickhouse and Harry Carey.

Here the best promotion of all. Have special PMS nights when the cubs biggest rivalry's come to play at KOTEX FIELD, meaning the St. Louis Cardinals and the CHICAGO WHITE SOX during inter league play. Any lady that can show that she will be having her worst PMS time during one of these games will get tickets at half price, only as long as they show up. Just think of it, 12,000 hormone enraged, painful cramping, heavy flowing cub fans sitting next to those poor Cardinal and SOX supporters who show up to cheer on their team in enemy territory.

Now don't forget, we need a nickname for KOTEX FIELD. When the old Comisky Park was torn down and replaced with a new stadium, the naming rights were sold to U.S. CELLULAR. So now the SOX play at U.S. Cellular Field, with the nickname: THE CELL. (True SOX fans still refer to it as Comisky though). I suggest that the nicknames for the new KOTEX FIELD could be, THE MAXI PAD, or THE BIG PAD, THE SUPER SOAKIE or even THE GREAT RED SPOT.

Oh man! Just think of what we could do with the bases.

Just think of what the bleacher bums can start throwing at the opposing teams outfielders that they don't like, along with any baseball that is hit by an opposing batter.

Oh, the possibilities are endless, I can think of a million more, but let's have these for starters and let me know what you think. This is Scott, your favorite Internet bartender proving to you that yes, there is humor even in menstruation.

Explain This to Me Please!

2009-06-03T22:00:00.005-05:00

Why is it perfectly acceptable by the media to be silent on the fact that the dinner and Broadway show "date" that the Obama's recently took in NYC cost the taxpayers $250,000?

However, when the Republican National Committee paid $150,000 for Sarah Palins wardrobe during the presidential campaign, it was treated basically as a heinous crime? Remember the scandal that was created over that?

Please tell me how wrong I am, (if you can). But the difference I see is that the RNC paid for the clothes, and all of us paid for the Obama's weekend jaunt. So simple even a liberal could figure it out, (but will refuse too). Maybe this was one of the earmarks in the "stimulus package".

Dr. Tiller the Baby Killer

2009-05-31T17:14:00.005-05:00

Whoa! Just saw on the news that "Dr." George Tiller aka "The Baby Killer" was shot to death in front of his own church in Kansas. He was the "doctor" famous for performing late term abortions in Kansas. Late term to this "doctor" meant up to the day before the woman's delivery.

The "doctor" was 67 years old when his life was snuffed out. So, should this be considered a murder, or just a 67 year long overdue late term abortion?

Hey I know that may step over the line and that it would offend someone, but I don't care if I offend anyone. Because most liberals today sit around just waiting to be offended.

And besides, this "doctor" had no true respect for life, why should I respect his death?

NO SHE DID NOT!!!

2009-05-30T15:49:00.004-05:00

Let me get something straight! President Obamas new nominee to the Supreme Court, Sonya Santomayor DID NOT SAVE BASEBALL! All she did was to make a legal decision during the 1994 strike. After the strike of 1994, the image of the game and players was greatly tarnished. The fact that grown men making millions of dollars while playing a child's game, trying to make their case of how "unfair" their employers were to them did not go over well with John Q. Public and Joe Six Pack.

The truth of the matter is that was Cal Ripken, Jr. who saved the game of baseball when he broke Lou Gehrig's record of consecutive games played, and he did it will all of the grace and class that Gehrig possessed.

Then the following year it was the "Home Run Derby" season between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. (Even though they both did it while they both were all jacked up on steroids).

So does President Obama have to use baseball to propagandize his cause and this woman? (Come to think of it - - - her initials are "SS").

If so then tell him to turn in his WHITE SOX hat and replace it with a cub cap.

The Cure for BDS

2009-05-28T15:56:00.006-05:00

In 2003, noted conservative columnist, Dr. Charles Krauthammer, gave birth to the phrase of BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, (BDS), in one of his opinion columns. Charles Krauthammer is not only an economist but a Doctor of Psychiatry as well. I witnessed a case of someone who has BDS at a party not to long ago. They just HAD to tell me about a trip they had taken across the Pacific some years ago. During this flight the airline decided to show for their movie entertainment, Micheal Moore's "documentary" of Fahrenheit 9/11. They then just HAD to tell me how they were then trapped inside this aircraft for twelve hours at 38,000 feet as they were just seething at George W. Bush; all the time while sitting in first class. (I doubt that this even happened though because I can not believe that any airline would make the business decision to show that film to their passengers knowing that it will offend more than half of them).

Only a true leftest liberal would be angry with then President Bush all the while sitting in first class on their way to some exotic Pacific destination. Now I know that others have even more serious stories than this and I welcome you to send them to me.

However, there IS now a cure for BDS, but we have a limited time to make this happen, to wipe BDS off from the face of our planet. My cure comes in the form of a challenge, at that challenge comes in the form of two words:

PROVE IT!

Yes, PROVE IT! Here's the challenge now for all you leftist liberals with BDS, you want to cure yourselves? Then here is your chance to PROVE IT.

For all of you who believe that Bush/Cheney stole the 2000 election.

For all of you who believe that Bush/Cheney are behind the attacks of September 11, 2001.

For all of you who believe that Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq illegally.

For all of you who believe that Bush/Cheney illegally tortured those poor souls at GITMO.

For all of you that just plain believe that Bush/Cheney are the most evil men who have ever lived.

Here is your chance to prove it. How can you prove it you ask? Simple. YOU have your man in the Oval Office. YOU have your majority in the Senate. YOU have your majority in the Congress. YOU have all your people in the Presidents cabinet, that means the Attorney General. YOU now have the power to do what you always wanted, to have George Bush and Richard Cheney arrested and dragged in front of any Senate and/or Congressional committee and be publicly tried for all of the "crimes" that you are charging them with.

If they are found guilty, then YOU can watch as they are both shackled in chains from head to foot and then sent to GITMO themselves, and then the world will be a better place for you. (I doubt it though, because a leftist is not happy unless they are miserable).

However, remember what I have said. YOU have to PROVE IT, and you can't prove anything with conspiracy theories, only with facts of a conspiracy. Plus, as I stated earlier, you have a limited time to do this. You have either until the first Tuesday of November, 2010, or before Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad finish going nuclear. Because I'm sorry Joe Biden, these men are not "testing this young President" as you have said, they are threatening him.

If you find that you cannot prove anything with all your accusations, then I have another two words for you:

SHUT UP!!!!

My, How Things Have Changed

2009-05-21T15:47:00.004-05:00

This morning I'm watching FOX News and Megyn Kelley was doing a report on FLEET WEEK by the U.S. Navy that is taking place in New York City. They had a reporter on one of the ships interviewing the Sailors and Marines, talking about some of the surveillance and weapons systems, and how the servicemen are really enjoying their stay while in New York, as it should be.

The Marines and Sailors are so happy how they are being received and treated by the citizens of New York City. Ms. Kelley herself was saying that there is nothing better than to see a man in uniform walking around the city and that all the ladies of the city just could not wait to meet with them.I envy today's serviceman, especially by the way they are respected and loved by the populace today, and I repeat, as it should be.

When I enlisted in the Navy in 1974, I went in during the closing years of the Viet Nam conflict. I was stationed in San Diego at the Naval Air Station Miramar. I worked of the F-14 Tomcat Fighter Aircraft.It was a complete 180 degree turn the way I and my fellow servicemen were treated back then. Everytime I went to Mission Bay, Ocean Beach, or just around town, the only two questions I would get from the civilian population was, "You wanna buy some weed?" or the other one, when some "child of peace, tolerance and understanding" would walk right up to me and ask, "So hey man, how many babies are ya gonna kill?"

Yes, I was called a baby killer and a "tool of that b*****d Nixon", I never even saw the coastline of Viet Nam. I basically tried to ignore those ignorant P.O.S.'s, but after the third and fourth, time, ( and the times thereafter), it kind of hurt, and I knew I was not welcomed in California. We in the military back then were treated as fourth class citizens. So after my discharge I've made sure to never go back to California for any reason.

(Oh yes, and GOD forbid if any of those self-proclaimed "California girls" were even caught dead dating a military man.)

I hope the way we are treating our servicemen today never changes, because I do remember how the "children of peace and love" would rally to "bring our boys home", only to spit on and them insult them when they did. A lot of these "flower children" are running everything now.

NOTE: In the picture here, you see everyone always had a "peace sign". Well, I'm a history nut, and if you research the history of the peace sign, you will find that it is actually in reality, a satanic symbol. A broken crucifix hung upside down.

Who is Important to Liberals Now?

2009-05-21T09:41:00.004-05:00

Every week now, I see reported on the news that another 500,000 to 625,000 people have lost their jobs do to this recession, and I'm confident to add, the governments responses and plans in order to repair it.

The so-called "stimulus" package, and President Obama's, as well as his supporters trying to nationalize all our banks and businesses and their overwhelming kowtowing to the unions.

So, I have some questions, who and what is more important to all those losing their jobs right now?

Is it President Obama, our "Dear Leader"? Or now it their ex-bosses?

It it the democratic party and the union officials? Or the supervisors and managers of the jobs that they held?

Is it the profit their company's were making? Or the abuse of taxpayer dollars that is being used for nothing more than a hostile takeover of American business by the Obama administration?

I ask now what has become more important too all of those people, myself now included, who have been laid off from their jobs?

Because, I know that by voting for President Obama and all those around him, it did not give immunity to anyone.

Just as many liberals are losing their jobs as conservatives.

Michael Vick-The REAL Tragedy

2009-05-19T11:15:00.004-05:00

So, I understand that Michael Vick just may be released from Leavenworth tomorrow.

Now, I'm one of the greatest and most staunchest football fans around, however, do you know what the REAL tragedy is concerning this whole Michael Vick ordeal?

The answer is this:

If Micheal Vick were instead caught beating his wife of girlfriend, he would have still been playing football all this time.

Obama? He May Save The cubs?

2009-05-17T19:15:00.001-05:00

In 2005, when the WHITE SOX won the World Series I got to see the very first playoff game at Comisky Park, (I still call it Comisky), against the Boston Red Sox. At the game I saw a banner hanging from the owners box, on it it said:

NO CURSE
NO GOAT
NO FALLING CONCRETE
NO BARTMAN

Could we all now be living in the era where the Chicago cubs curse will be lifted and they finally win the World Series? Some signs may point to it.

And could it be that that the major mystical sign that the cubs win the World Series just may be President Obama himself?

Because I don't care who you are, especially here in the quad-state area that surrounds the great city of Chicago; meaning Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

I don't care what your race is. White, black, brown, red. yellow or any combination thereof.

I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish, Islamic. Wiccan, atheist, etc.

I don't care what your ancestry is. (To many nations to mention here).

I don't care if you are straight, gay, bi, trans-gendered, or just a pervert.

I don't care if you are a Conservative, liberal, moderate, Republican, democrat, socialist, communist or just not even involved in anything politically.

I don't care if you are rich, poor or anything in between.

It does not matter who you are or what you think because the truth of the matter is this. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, for the past hundred years now, especially those who live in the city of Chicago and the surrounding areas; EVERYBODY at one time in their lives has spoken the following statement aloud:

"A Black Man is going to be elected President before the cubs ever win the World Series."

Now to me, as a staunch WHITE SOX fan, I will see the cubs winning the World Series as the first sign of the Apocalypse. I know that somewhere in The Book of Revelation the Apostle John saw the cubs winning the Series, thus bringing in the end of days.

Yes, the cubs win the World Series and then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be riding right down the middle of Michigan Avenue.

Then the Rapture shall come, because you see, as a firm believer in GOD, I believe after the cubs win the Series, He is going to want to collect on all those decades of cubs fans looking up to the heavens with their arms outstretched and saying out loud that one prayer they always pray:

"Just once LORD! THEN ... You can take me."

As a matter of fact cubs fans say that more then: "Wait 'til next year."

Yes, the day after the cubs win the World Series, more than half of the north side will then die.

Now this means that the cubs have anywhere from four to eight years to win the World Series. If they DO NOT take advantage of President Obama's time in history as the first black man to become President, and NOT win the Series during this time period, well then we are going to have to amend that old saying.

Here's my suggestion:

"An Arabic Jewish Lesbian will be elected President of the United States before the Chicago cubs ever win the World Series."

By the way, as a WHITE SOX fan, I will admit that when I write the name of the cubs, yes I write it in lower case deliberately.

Sangria Wine

2009-05-17T15:11:00.000-05:00

OK, as per the request of my good blog buddy and fellow Arizonian, Teri O'Brien, while talking to her on her BLOGTALK RADIO broadcast today, I'm going to give you my recipe for one of my favorite drinks. (Isn't that just like two people of Irish decent to want to talk about "adult potable beverages?")

This is my recipe for SANGRIA WINE, and it was inspired to me by an album my "Wonder Years" buddies, (Brent, Jeff, Mike, Tim, Todd and 'Doughboy'), use to always listen too to start our partying time, and/or head on over to the Verde River back in Arizona.

That album is Jerry Jeff Walker's VIVA TERLINGUA.

I'm giving this recipe out now because I know that it is summer somewhere. Here in Chicago it's now the middle of May, rainy and in the 50's. Those of you in Arizona, I know summer there starts in March.

Here's what you'll need:

Some bags of ice and the biggest washtub that you can find. You know, the kind that you could give a large German Shepard or St. Bernard a bath in.

4 (or more) gallon bottles of Gallo Sangria Wine

1 bottle of Napoleon Brandy

1 large bottle of 7UP, (NOT DIET!!! REAL 7UP!!!)

Some crisp sweet apples, (I recommend the Pink Lady)

Some peaches and/or nectarines

A couple of limes

A couple of lemons

1 pineapple

And the most important ingredient: one copy of the CD of Jerry Jeff Walker's VIVA TERLINGUA.

First cut up all of the fruit and place it all in a large bowl.

Then dump half of the ice into the washtub and scatter the fruit on top of the ice; then dump in the remainder of the ice over the fruit. Mix the ice and fruit together.

Add the bottle of Napoleon Brandy followed by the bottles of Gallo Sangria Wine.

Then with a large mixing spoon, mix in the bottle of 7UP.

Now, when serving this wine, all anyone has to do is just dip their cup into the tub and drink. However I feel that I must tell you to make sure you serve this during a long weekend and plan on most people to be staying with you. If you don't want to have people staying at your home for any lengthy period of time, then do as we did back in the days of our youth, go to the Verde River, (if there are any places left there to go to anyway), or any wide open space in the area near where you live, on a Friday or Saturday. Start the festivities off with the VIVA TERLINGUA album and sing along to the song "Sangria Wine".

WARNING: TAKE AWAY EVERYBODY'S CAR KEYS AND LOCK THEM AWAY IN A SAFE!!!

Because, if history taught me anything about Sangria Wine, when you start drinking it on Friday, you won't remember Saturday, and the real world returns to you sometime on Sunday. And even though you don't remember, you feel in your heart of hearts that you just HAD to of have had a great time. (I remember waking up a few times in the back of someones car on a Sunday morning hearing the rippling sounds of the river).

But you are guaranteed to always be singing the course from SANGRIA WINE:

WHOOOA-OOO-OOO-OOO-OOO!! I LOVE SANGRIA WINE!

Something tells me I'm going to be getting a lot of stories from everyone from their youth days about their experiences with Sangria Wine, beer, that will have references to Boondockers and/or tubing down the Verde River.

By the way, I invite everyone to join in with Teri on her BLOGTALK RADIO broadcasts every Sunday at 2:00 PM CDT. For more information, go to her website: http://www.teriobrien.com/

When I'm participating, I'm known as ARIZONA SCOTT.

The New Great Depression

2009-05-16T19:04:00.000-05:00

There is a new Great Depression occurring in our country, and it has nothing to do with economics. It is now being felt by all of those slobbering, starry eyed supporters of President Obama who are now coming to terms with the realization that he is ... after all ... just a man.

Barack Hussein Obama is just a man, flesh and blood, just like everyone else. He is not the Messiah that they all believed him to be.

But, in defense of the President, the way these people have looked upon him is not his fault. What is his fault though is that he allowed it to happen, and he continues to do so.

Remember, there WAS at one time a man who not only walked upon the earth, but on water as well.

And just look what we did to Him.

What Our "Entertainers" Will Never Admit

2009-05-13T13:43:00.000-05:00

I'm really no fan of today's so called entertainers. I find most of them to be ill educated, self centered and shallow.What irritates me the most about them is that they have the audacity to criticize, demonize, insult, and demean publicly the so-called "rich" in America. The corporate establishment you might say.

They will do and say the most unbelievable and outrageous things and then hide behind their shield word, "artist".Then they will try and make you believe that they just can't help it that they themselves are wealthy. Most will wear old and tattered clothing to make you believe that they are really, "just one of us". That is until they have one of their diva fits.

Here is the dirty little secret that they themselves refuse to come to terms with:

That it is AMERICAN CORPORATE CAPITALISM that helped them to bring forth their talents to the public and make them very wealthy people. They will never admit that they are part of that "upper 1%" that they hate so much.

THEY are the comodity of the corporations of the entertainment industry.

However, there is one thing that they ARE NOT ignorant of, that they would NEVER get away with the things they do and say in any other country other than the United States. That is the answer to the question to anyone who asks, "If they don't like it here so much, why don't they just move somewhere else?"

They turn a blind eye to the real tyranny in the world, and even side with them, all for the sake of publicity. However, they are not that dumb to move to places like Cuba, Venuzuela, North Korea, or even France, where they KNOW that there is no true freedom of speech there. Just ask Bridgit Bardot. She has been arrested and fined by her own government for speaking out against the uncontrolled imigration in her country.

I dare them, any one of them go ahead, go through with your threats of leaving the country if so and so is elected. I noticed many of them promised to leave both times George W. was elected, but never followed through. Just like a liberal.

My Introduction

2009-05-12T22:06:00.000-05:00

Hello to anyone here who enters,

My name is Scott and I live in Chicago. Welcome to the Shot and Beer Joint. I named my blog so because right now I'm a frustrated bartender looking for my first bar to work in after 30 years in the retail business. I want to get into the tavern business because I like businesses that are sociable, where people can sit, have a few drinks and be able to speak their minds.

All are welcome here to either agree with me or debate my opinions.

However, there is one main rule, whether you agree or disagree with me or anyone else who gives their opinions or rebuttals, YOU WILL DO SO IN A CIVIL AND MATURE ADULT MANNER! No insults and your language will be as if your own mother and children are in the room.

"Damn" or "Hell" are accepted. But if you just have to use a more foul word do so by disguising the word. For Example: S**t. or F*#k will be accepted.

Any gentleman in the room will never disagree with a woman by insulting her with the "B", "S", and above all the "C" word. As a matter of fact, this goes for women also.

This room is about civility, maturity, and chivalry.

So, let's get started,

Cordially,

Scott in Chicago
