A Nigerian man just tried to bring down an airliner over Detroit. Had he succeeded, he would have murdered 350 Innocent people. Merry Christmas from the Religion of Peace I guess.

Janet Nappy-Headed-Ho Napalito(I can say that I’m not a hot shot radio jock, and this my blog.) Says “the system worked”…Huh? What? Come again? It did?

It worked for whom there Janet of the triple chins? The Islamic Jihadi bent on wanton murder and destruction of our fellow Americans? Your DHS Foo is weak Jan baby…

So I have a question.

Has the Obama administration and his Czar’s and god knows what else they have going on, figured out that despite all their touchy feely rhetoric, blaming America for the worlds ills, & kow-towing to every tin pot dictator in the world, that …..well Gee to be candid, their approach…well it doesn’t seem to be working all that well with our endless list of antagonists now does it? Well?

A Nigerian Man tries to down a jet full of people just trying to come home for the Holidays, Hugo Chavez spits out more drivel claiming he can still smell the devil or some other nonsense, (really that dude needs to catch a bullet already), and I read in one stock report, The Chinese are now pissed off because Obama just slapped a staggering 35% tariff on their oil pipes ….of course ..at the behest of and to protect his US Steel workers Union cronies…protectionist trade theory with, our biggest trading partner who by the way owns most of that 1.2 trillion in debt you’ve rung up…Gee that sure will help the economy Bambi…*snort*

So tell me again? How’s that “Hope -N-Change” working out for ya these days? I guess okay if your in the Steel Workers Union Boss cabal eh?

Better yet; tell me when Obama and his clown parade of cohorts are going to buy a clue and figure out how to do anything other than try to pin blame on the past for what is clearly their own short falls and continual errors? Anyone?

Happy New Years 2010….it’s gonna be a LONG year I think.

BAH!!

If I hear one more person accusing those of us that oppose this monstrosity called Health-Care reform of being “callous” “uncaring” (insert the insult of your choice here _________), one more time I swear I am going to punch someone in the face.

The whole mantra goes like this: “You’re selfish because you don’t want poor people to have health-care!” Or the ever popular “only a greedy conservative (I’ve noticed that on most forums…pointy headed posters seem to somehow think they get bonus points for skewing the spelling and making it “KKKonservative”) would deny those less fortunate than themselves health care!” “Only a racist would deny others Health-Care!” and on and on the litany goes.

So okay I’ll play the insult game with the liberals, and be all the nasty things they claim I am for refusing to hand over my very personal health care choices, not to mention a good chunk of my salary to some faceless donkey’s ass in Washington D.C.

You’re right my hysterical little friend….I DON’T CARE!!! I’M SELFISH!!

You want to know why I don’t care? Why I am so selfish? Well let me tell you why.

I started my Work life almost 30 years ago. You want to know what I was doing?

I was an orderly in a Nursing Home. I emptied fouled bedpans and cleaned shit off of the sheets and grandma, when grandma lost control of her bowels.
I cleaned up the puke and the blood and the urine when that was needed to be done too.
I watched old people die, alone, heartbroken, forgotten by the world.

From there I went onto the arcane art of morticians assistant. I’ve been in a morgue with the dead, helping to embalm them for burial, I’ve watched the mortician slide the embalming rods into their bellies and break up their internal organs and watched a pump as it sucked out the body fluids….. as a 17 year kid. (You do know that they do that don’t you? No? Watch an embalming someday..it’s a real screamer of a time let me tell you.)

Miraculously I never did end up in a fast food joint….Perish the thought.

Facing 18, and realizing I was going no where in life at breakneck speed, I decided it was time for a change. I joined the Navy.

So yeah, back then I was part of government controlled health care and I saw the best and worst of it all for 10 years. Being so young I had little use for it, but I did, at times, use it, and every single time I did, I seemingly ended up worse off then when I went in for whatever ailment I was seeking treatment for.

Now they want me to come back to that three ring circus? I don’t think so sparky.

When I left the Navy, I went with a private company with good benefits, and I still am to this day working for yet another private company with decent benefits.

Not making much money back then, I worked other jobs on the side. One job was unloading semis, lousy wages, long hot hours on a loading dock and back breaking work. But I did it.

I also worked on a Horse Farm in exchange for room and board during those first few years out of the military. I shoveled horse manure and mucked out urine soaked horse stalls at 4 am in freezing ass cold, and stifling heat. I’ve been bit, kicked, and stepped on, by horses so many times I lost count. But I did it. Go on call me a “red-neck” Because I am I’ve worked throwing hay into a barn or mending fences until the sun burned my neck to a crisp…I wear the moniker proudly.

I’ve watched the government pillage my check for Social Security which I will never see, I’ve seen them take 20% and more of my earnings, and then HALF of my hourly wages when I dared to work overtime in an effort to make my lot in life better….and now?…Now they want more. More Taxes, more health insurance costs, more, more, more. In short they are going to redistribute my wealth, what little I have scratched out thus far that is.. to others.

Nay!! I won’t stand for it!! It’s not theirs to give!!

So why don’t I care if someone else doesn’t have the same access to Health Care that I do?

Because I bleeping EARNED it that’s why.

I’ve worked my fingers to the bone in my life time, I’ve done probably some of the worst jobs in the world, and I scratched, clawed, and fought to get to the level I am today.

No-One handed me a job, A 401k, A college education, A Health Care plan…..I went out in the world and I EARNED THEM. I’ve paid my taxes, I’ve given to my fellow man, I’ve done my part. I’ve paid my dues as an American both in taxes and blood…..I will do NO MORE!

Until anyone that DARES accuse me of being selfish can point at someone …just one person out there that has worked as hard and a diligently in life as I have to overcome the odds, that has made the sacrifices in life that I have, that has busted their tail as I have to succeed in life, that hasn’t mewled and pissed and moaned about how they are being mistreated….. yet somehow just hasn’t made it….I don’t want to hear it.

Chances are you’re going to find it hard to find such a person in America. The fact remains America IS the land of opportunity…those that try succeed, those that don’t fail. It is that simple.

A true American takes one thing to heart. And that one thing is “Failure is not an option.”

Anyone else calling themselves an American that believes otherwise, that somehow it’s okay to fail because of the color of ones skin, or whatever other qualifier should give them special status over another American…is not a true American, they are a fraud, an impostor…. a dime store cowboy wannabe.

Yes! You’re right!! I simply don’t care. Because one simple fact in all the hysteria over health care and the “30 million suffering with out it” is this, of those 30 million probably less than 1 or 2 % of them are actually people that for whatever reason are truly in need, the rest of them are illegals, moochers, slackers, and free loaders and yeah they can go screw themselves….with a rusty nail embedded 2×4. I owe them nor any pandering jack ass in a suit from D.C. NOTHING.

Bottom line to all you bleeding hearts crying about the poor, about the minority flavor of the week, about whatever victim group is your cup of tea….is simply this:

I nor do millions of Americans like me owe the black man, the red man, the yellow man, the white man, or for that matter the man in the white house a damn thing…. they owe it themselves to make their own way in America.

And by the way? I don’t owe YOU anything either my bleeding heart friend …Election of your Poser in Chief and your so called “mandate” be damned.

Take note…and try to take that “something” by force at your peril… for I will not submit.

*sigh*

I’m so tired of scammers ….There’s the Nigerian Scam in about 2 billion guises in my email everyday, the “Lottery Commission of the Netherlands” claim I won a ba-ziliion dollars in their lottery, Dong Su Cho from Hong Kong wants to make me a millionaire and all’s he needs is my checking account number, and oh yeah…by using the latest and greatest “male enhancement” product which I think involves weights and vacuum pumps of some sort …I too can have….A massive 12 inch pecker that will drive 6 inch carpentry nails through solid mahogany and make any woman swoon …..

That the law states you cannot go around with your pecker hanging out and making women “swoon” at your whim seems to escape these mental midgets that send this crap out…. But I digress.

I really think we should be allowed to extract our revenge in a manner we feel appropriate when a scammer tries to swindle you…Be it E-mail or the phone, or even the old style postal service, I think tracking them down and shooting them in the face with large caliber weapons is a swell idea…

Why am I displaying my obviously non politically correct musings and utter contempt for my fellow humans??

Because, A: I am bored.

And B: After three years of hassle free service, I just had to change my Vonage phone number.

This is a huge pain in the ass…I was JUST getting to the point where I actually REMEMBERED that damn phone number…now I have to start all over again….Damn these snake oil hucksters to hell.

Why did I have to change my number you ask?

Because suddenly, I was getting calls from some outfit in Canada (Area Code 905 ) trying to tell me I owed them money….since I have never set foot in the frozen wastelands of Canada, conducted any business with a Canadian company, nor would I for that matter, as I despise the place and it’s long haired hippy tree hugging population, I wont even drink Canuck Whiskey…(but that’s another rant for another time) it was obviously a scam.

But Lord they were persistent I have to give them that.

It all started up about 11pm last night and has since escalated, with each call becoming much more ominous in its tone, and warning me of the truly ghastly and horrible things that were going to befall me if I didn’t comply….IMMEDIATELY.

I mean really, if someone calls you up out of the blue and says they are more or less going to ruin your life, there’s severe legal actions going to take place, and YOU’RE DOOMED!!!…and it’s all just a scam…well; shouldn’t you in turn be allowed to shoot the sorry ass in the face?

I think you should, but that’s just me.

Ya know? God forbid you comment on a woman’s hair or that she has a nice blouse on…OH nooooo…that’s sexual harassment and causes mental anguish and horrible self esteem issues, why the poor lass will be on Ophra crying her eyes out for weeks, nay months afterward!! … forever more a basket case…

Well damn it….I want the same treatment applied to scammers….I’m feeling harassed.

I think ‘tis only fair…

Failing that? Well then, these people should fall under the “old school way” rule book….If they embark on a life of swindling and scamming others, they should understand fully one premise ….”don’t mess with a bull unless you want to tangle with his horns” (or…. .45 Caliber Hand gun as the case may be).
This way it’s fair, there is no crying or wailing when they get their faces shot off. Everyone’s in agreement, you swindle; you run the risk of receiving a “45 caliber Bo-Tox injection”…Absolutely FREE.

And people say I’m cruel. Bah!!

On the flip side of it; anyone STOOOOPID enough to get caught in one of these pathetic scams…well we should shoot them in the face too…

I’m not falling for the pansy ass liberal “victim” crap any more…they are obviously from the kiddy pool side of the gene pool and thus, it would help kill 2 birds with one stone. Less STOOOPID people in the world and as a result, the scammers have to find REAL ways to make their livings, that is if I haven’t already tracked them down and gave them their free .45 caliber face lift.

Now I think I will go on to Google maps and track down this address that is showing up attached to that little bastard’s phone in Canada…Just for fun…ya-know?

(No scammers were hurt in the production of this post…yet)

October 2nd, 2009 by TNM

After a 2 month hiatus, I’ve come back to TNMilitant to write again.

I took this time off from blogging for various reasons but one was to distance myself from the political scene, to step outside the ring and view the fight as a spectator.

During that time I worked, but I also traveled some, I spent some time in my beloved adopted state of TN and I reflected heavily on today’s political climate.

That I spend a majority of my time overseas, it is sometimes difficult to put a finger on the true pulse of the political scene, living abroad as I do, 99% of the information sources I have are online, I don’t have the advantage of living among my country men, which in turn poses a risk of a biased opinion towards my government. That’s not to say I am an expert in all things political, I am not.

So Rather than continue blogging unabated this past two months, a thought occurred to me that maybe it was time to step back and look at things a little more, that perhaps my views on our current system of government were becoming lopsided, that perhaps it was time to step back and re-look at a wide horizon of events and then return to the TNMilitant.

“After all” I asked myself, “how bad can things actually be back home?”

The answer to that as I see it, unfortunately, is simply…. it’s bad and getting worse.

After being home and taking time to mull things over; As I see it, the political divide in the country has worsened, to epic levels. It is a cancer eating at the republic and like any cancer unchecked it will destroy it’s host.

The election of a hard left government in the past two years, by people that seemingly either just don’t care enough about liberty to protect it, those blathering about how we need to “change” those who relish their free handouts, welfare, and the ever increasing role of the Federal government in their every day lives, or whom just don’t seem to be informed very well, has put the country on a collision course with itself.

Those same hard left politicians and their supporters that swept to power are now actively engaging in an all out assault on the Constitution and the principles on which this country was founded.

Obama was touted as the great Uniter…millions swallowed that rhetoric, and now are regretting it because, sadly that is anything but the case. Obama has divided the country into two clearly defined camps, Socialist leaning and those that refuse to accept the ever increasing role of the federal government in their every days lives. It has created such a divide between fully half of the citizens and the elite political class that the most overwhelming reaction out there is outright disgust. This is dangerous water. I reflect back to one of the original tea party events where one protester carried a sign that read “We came unarmed….this time.” And I have to ask myself, “how long will that last”?

I was simply stunned at the levels of anger I encountered this past few weeks, this isn’t a joke, it’s a living breathing groundswell of outright hatred of our government and it is growing. Say what you will about Obama and this legislative branch, but in my memory I’ve never seen such hatred. The hard left hated Bush make no mistake, they were vocal about it, but this is different. This isn’t fringe groups like Move-On or other socialist activists, this is everyday ordinary Americans rising up in utter disgust and disdain.

Recently, The Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi became emotional, siting she was concerned that the levels of rhetoric have reached such ugliness that she fears violence will ensue, for once; Nancy hit the nail on the head.

But I have to question her, “Why do you think this is Nancy?” Is it because as Jimmy Carter babbled Americans don’t like a black man in the white house? Or as the ever ridiculous Maurene Dowd from the NYT’s claims we’re all just a bunch of racists?

I think not. In reality and what those in power right now seem to just not understand is simply that Americans will never accept the sneering contempt of the like of Harry Ried and Nancy Pelosi, they’ve called people “teabaggers”, outright tried to discard their concerns, treated them like subjects rather than citizens and worse, so no one is moved by Nancy’s faux tears.

In fact, they see them as a sham, a farce. The democrats lied and have been caught in those same lies so many times that the electorate by some counts, fully 60+% of it, have lost all faith in our elected representatives and hold an increasingly negative view of the government we elected.

As I see it…The average American wants to be left alone, to succeed or fail as he may, his health-care untouched, his taxes unrevised, his cost of living reasonable. That’s not happening, in fact the current government seems hell bent on controlling an every larger role in peoples lives, of taking as much freedom and money as they possibly can from Americans.

Americans don’t want that sort of change, although it is said you get the government you vote for, I don’t think a majority of the people that voted for this President or these members of the House and Senate truly believed they would have the gall to force a socialist agenda like they have thus far, many of them are left angry and reeling with frustration and the broken promises that seem to pile up by the day.

Sadly, I have to give credit were credit is due, Obama partially told us his agenda, and thinking conservatives connected the dots, his words, his background, his own writings weren’t adding up, and we ultimately rejected it. However millions of middle of the road so called “moderate” types waffled. That waffling is going to hurt them badly now.

The country was unhappy under Bush, but now finds itself even more unhappy Under Obama. Why is this?

Those that voted for Obama wanted change did they not? Maybe the change they were thinking was going to happen isn’t. Maybe the unhappiness stems from the fact that the changes that are happening are not what they signed up for. There were people from every political and ethnic background out there you could find, whom voted FOR Obama and their not happy….are they now magically “racists” too?

In simple words..this has nothing to do with Race Creed or Color, it has EVERYTHING to do however, with the Federal Government’s trampling of our constitutional rights. It has everything to do with our taxpayer dollars being burned in a furnace of corruption and worthless spending. It has to do with people watching in horror videos of a government supported entity like ACORN supporting child sex exploitation. It has to do with the liberal’s like Nancy Pelosi unmitigated gall to mock millions of hardworking Americans concerns and calling them “astroturf” and “Un-American”.

The implications are clear from this Speaker and her lapdogs in both chambers as well as the media, you’re not a true American unless you march lock step with her agenda. To a lot of Americans, having any type of agenda forced on them is going to garner backlash. That’s who we as Americans are.

Racism keeps festering, and those flames are fanned yet again by the leftists like Pelosi, Reid, Durban, Jimmy Carter and others. Tens of thousands of Americans marched on Washington D.C. recently, to protest the current course of this country, and thousands showed up at town halls across this nation to display their disgust with the elected officials, how can the far left leaning political class in power even think of claiming that has anything at all to do with racism? All of those protesters were white? I doubt that very much.

Adding to the outrage and frustration; The MSM is largely viewed as in the tank with this crop of corrupt jackals in D.C. largely ignored their efforts. So what & who speaks for millions of average Americans now? No-One, and that is a breeding ground for mistrust and out right hatred of the government.

We’ve made a grave mistake this past 2 and a half years, although in the average voters defense, the GOP did and continues to do little to garner continued support with debacles like Mark Foley, A spend! spend! spend! mindset, two wars with no clear end game, and “Democratic Lite” governance, all added up to send the GOP packing.

Let’s hope those mistakes by the GOP don’t end up costing us more than a little “change”.

I find it ironic that In the 1950’s the country went under the same assault, Communists infested the halls of our government, it was coined the “red scare”. The liberal press poo-pooed the very idea, and charged people like Joe McCarthy with being a traitor, funny, after those archives were recently brought to public light we find out…he was right. What will they find in archives 50 years from now?

In truth, I see no difference now, since Obama has appointed not one but an entire administration infested with self avowed socialists. Van Jones, although now resigned, and others are on record clearly stating they are avowed socialist. I think that in 50 years we very well may reflect back as a nation and shake our head in dismay at what happened in America and how dangerously close we came to destroying the vision our founding fathers laid out for us.

Change is coming to America alright, and it’s called socialism, it is directly in opposition to what millions of Americans everywhere believe in and a freedom loving people will not lie down meekly for this. Let’s hope Nancy Pelosi is wrong and it doesn’t result in bloodshed.

Stimulus spending on pet liberal projects got you outraged yet? You should be, seeing as how your tax dollars are being spent to fund a bunch of perverts performing sex acts in San Fransisco.

Foxnews.com reports this article

50,000.00 dollars in ’stimulus’ funding found it’s way Via the NEA to the “Frameline Theater” a self described pornographic theater that recently showed something titled “Thundercrack”. The movie, if you can call it that, is according to it’s promoters, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.”

Still not outraged? The National Endowment for the Arts or NEA has been the happy recipient of 80 MILLION dollars from the so called stimulus bill passed in Feb.

This money is supposedly being used as the FoxNews / Joseph Abrams article states to :

“The NEA was given $80 million of the government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession”.

How nice. I’m glad to hear a porn star or a Oboe player somewhere wont go hungry. After all the rich liberals like Obama and Pelosi, well that sort of “cultural experiences” is important people!! Perish the very thought!

Are these people in D.C just that deranged? Will they stop at no low to throw their liberal bullshit in the rest of our faces?

There is no way to justify this, I don’t care if you are a liberal, conservative, or a pink baboon in a leotard, this is an utter waste of money and a direct slap in the face to the millions of hard working Americans that have lost their jobs in this disaster of an economy. Oh wait we got what was it again 14 dollars a week in the fomr of a “tax rebate”. Sorry. *SPIT*

How can anyone justify the spending of 80,000,000.00 dollars for a minuscule handful of the population, (really how many “artists” do you know?) while millions of Americans are out of work, they are loosing their homes, they are loosing their very lives, yet the politicians in D.C. see fit to squander 80,000,000.00 dollars on….. porn. Smut. It makes my head want to explode, it really does.

Tellingly this same theater is located in none other than San Fran Pelosi’s *spit* Voting grounds. Such a funny coincidence that is.

A question for any wayward “liberal” that might be reading this, Here’s a liberal thought for you, How far would that same 80,000,000.00 go to lift a family of four out of the lower economic class? To stave off a foreclosure? How many families would that same money help with getting a rung up on the economic ladder? As a conservative, despite the popular misconception of us being selfish and not wanting to “spread the wealth” I dissent.

I see nothing wrong with giving a man the tools to earn a good living, to provide for his family, even if his current blight is such that he more or less brought it upon himself, so let’s do a theoretical exercise here. I defy any liberal out there to challenge this, to somehow justify spending 80 Million f’n dollars for non productive endeavors like a porno theater while millions of Americans suffer.

On to our exercise, Joe is a H/S drop out, foolishly Joe and his girlfriend got in a bad way at the tender age of 17, trying to do the right thing, he married young and miraculously he’s managed to make a go of it with his wife and two kids.

Joe tries hard, he works, he’s not a dumb guy, but his past haunts him, no High school diploma, no real chance at making his way up anywhere anytime soon. Forget a college degree, he’s trapped now. Let’s say Joe makes 14.00 an hour at the factory, that is not going to go too far with a family of four but they would be able to live on it if they are careful and if his wife works, scratch that she probably isn’t got much choice these days, she’s going to have to work.

Several Years pass & Joe’s worked hard but he is still way behind, he’s tried but he still isn’t making much money to begin with and disaster strikes the economy tanks, and the factory just laid him off. A few weeks go by and Joe’s Unemployment is falling short of his families needs and he’s falling further behind on his rent, home ownership for Joe is an Impossible dream, he doesn’t make much more than minimum wage on Unemployment even years after he entered the workforce. Joe, his wife, and his two children are teetering on the brink of being homeless. Tragic isn’t it?

But wait, because of the ailing economy, suddenly a stimulus program is released by the politicians in D.C. to aid people like Joe, a one time tax free $25,000.00 grant, to cover the cost of vocational training and education, living expenses, and health-care but with a qualifier.

Joe has to do two things, he has to earn a minimum of a GED AND a certification in a trade. He has 16 weeks to do so, longer if the vocation he chooses demands it, Maybe Joe will become a plumber, a mechanic or Maybe he will pick Information Technology. Should Joe fail, Joe is immediately drafted into the service for a period of 24 months to repay his 25,000.00 debt he will receive full pay and benefits while in. If he succeeds he has a two year commitment in the IRR or inactive ready reserves. Either way, succeed or fail, Joe is going to avoid having himself and his family on the streets and will make some sort of contribution to pay back “society”.

Okay so suppose Joes picks IT as his goal, Research TNM has done indicates a full blown Microsoft MCSE certification runs about 8-10,000 dollars at a 2-3 week IT boot camp, leaving Joe 15,000 -18,000 dollars for his family. When he graduates Joe will see his salary increase provided he finds a job, by almost a third. Say he made 30,000.00 a year working the line at the Factory, most people in IT even a simple help desk job make close to 40,000.00. That’s a 10,000 a year increase in salary over his factory job. As he gains experience and skills in the field that salary continually increases by rather large amounts.

Who was it that said, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat the rest of his life” Jesus I think wasn’t it?

Too simple of a plan of course, it makes too much sense, it’s too direct. Isn’t it? There’s no “special” people targeted to gain votes, no “endowments” full of party fanatics, just plain old American Joes, AND REALLY WHO CARES ABOUT THEM?!. Obviously not San Fran Nancy Pelosi, not after her comment of “I really don’t care” when asked if she knew she was the most disliked woman in America.

Far as I can see That’s “spreading the wealth” with some sort of responsibility, not just willy nilly where it ends up in the hands of oversexed morally bankrupt actors and perverts in San Fransisco.

So what about that 80,000,000.00 How far does that go for people in Joe’s situation?

3200 Joe’s. That’s how many. Probably double the amount of what benefited from the squandering of that money by Obama, the Democrats and their pervert pals in the NEA. I can’t prove it but again…how many people do you know make a living being an “artist”?

Well what about his wife?!? the feminist whine, sorry 25k per household, spent on however they deem needed, maybe it’s easier for her to go to school, but she is still with the stipulations as listed above, If Joe is smart, that other money he didn’t spend, is spent helping his wife get some sort of higher level training as well, then they really will see their future open up. If not it keeps food on the table and the lights on at least.

80 million is more or less a drop in the bucket of the over all Stimulus package of 800 BILLION, so how many Americans could truly benefit from a direct program like this? How much additional tax revenue would be generated from the additional income they make? Rather than have it wasted with the likes of the NEA?

That’s stimulus Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of you morons, that’s putting America back to work. Not putting your addled brained over sexed NEA supporters in front of honest hard working Americans.

I stumbled across this in my web browsing.

This is a collection of photo’s taken by someone in South Florida, it is nothing but a long array of closed businesses, empty buildings and vacant parking lots.
Sobering, and disheartening.

The fix is in, the economy is in ruins, and the government will have every one of us on the dole here soon.
Brace yourself.

July 23rd, 2009 by TNM

You know some times we get caught up in our own lives, and the head aches, we get so absorbed it seems and sometimes things don’t go right and things …well they just suck!

Or do they?

I was reminded of how fortunate I am today, and in reality…my so called “troubles” could be more or less laughed at …and I was reminded in a very brutal manner.

While I was cursing because things weren’t going just my way…, a man was searching for a meal.

I had to pay my cellular bill here in Kuwait it was for me a normal bill about 200 dollars but that includes Black-Berry service and full data, my black berry is my life line over here, I’m addicted to it, I think my ear is about to mold itself to it.

Well as luck would have it, My Visa card was getting declined by the bank, and there was something up with the ATM machines over here as well, so I couldn’t get cash, and I was VERY Frustrated when a simple 30 minute errand turned into a 4 plus hour ordeal.

Did I mention it was like an oven over here today? 118 degrees. And I’m like some crazed American out running around in it.

Well after a few tries, and not getting my card to go through, I told the person waiting on me I would come back, I went out to my truck, started the engine and cranked on the AC, got my trusted black berry and called my credit card issuer, I immediately got put on hold. There’s a shocker!! I was cursing a blue streak as sweat ran down my face, wishing that the AC would work a little harder, and well pretty much at this point, miserable.

As I waited for my credit card company to stop telling me how very important my call was and how they would be right with me..(yeah right this is costing me a cool 3 dollars a minute so I’m getting even more agitated) a man approached my car, obviously the man was a worker from somewhere, I don’t know where, he was dressed in a dirty jumpsuit, and had the traditional head covering the red checked ones they wear, they are called something but the name escapes me …but he sort of smiled and paused.

Timidly he waved through the glass, annoyed and thinking he was trying to mooch a cigarette I hit my power window button and said “can I help you”? And he smiled but sort of with this hang dog look …with this look that could be only described as humbleness, And he motioned to his mouth, then to his stomach. He asked “Sir Please” ?

And It dawned on me, he was panhandling. Of all the dumb luck I get hit by a panhandler! That’s a new one to me, I have never saw it before in Kuwait. Over here the Kuwaiti’s have pretty strict laws against such things, so if he was out there panhandling he was taking a pretty big risk, but none the less I grabbed my wallet, sadly…I had exactly half a Dinar in there, less than 2 bucks in American, remember the ATMS are down so I am flat broke…and I handed it to him.

His eyes lit up and he smiled and I noticed he had few teeth left those he did have were looking pretty bad. His face was lined and seamed with age, But his eyes were filled with gratitude and when he smiled, it was from the heart, you would have thought I handed him 10 times that amount.

He bowed slightly and said “Shukran Habib, Salam Alukum. It roughly translated means “thank you my friend god bless you”. And he shuffled off.

I hit my window switch, and as I watched him in the side view mirror walking in the blasting heat…it dawned on me….here I am in my Brand new company provided SUV with the A/C blasting, I’ve got a 400 dollar phone, 10,000 dollars worth of recent dental work in my yap, I’m 10 lbs north of where the he*l I should be in the weight department, & I’ll solve this “problem” with a simple phone call, I’ll go pay my bill, and I will go home to my rather large 2 bedroom 3 bath flat with one person to live in it and cook dinner, whatever I feel like having (it turned out to be pizza night as they have domino’s right around the corner and THEY take visa too…make that 11 lbs north…* Burp* and after the day I had, well mark it up to you have to pick your battles ;-p )

And yet here I am cursing my life, railing at the pain in the butt credit card companies, frustrated because I cant pay a 200 dollar bill….While this old man works to just get enough together to feed himself??

Somewhere tonight In Kuwait is an old man, with just a few teeth, he’s got years and ages of a very hard life etched in his face, but when he smiles his heart sings through his eyes…. maybe he has someplace to go to out of the brutal heat, maybe he doesn’t, and maybe my pittance I gave him at least got him something in his belly for the evening…..I sure hope so.

So tell me; How Tough is your life today??

Looking around the web today and I came across some of these gems.

Falling down an open manhole while engrossed in texting on your cellphone….Congratulations!! Here’s your Stupid Human Tricks Award!!

Of course the obligatory law suit is in order, because, somehow, someway, somewhere, there really are 12 stupid people just like this young woman that are dumb enough to award her a huge sum of money because….she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings and somehow that became the city of New York’s fault. God forbid the silly little girl actually take personal responsibility and say “I was being S-T-O-O-P-I-D”. Do us all a favor dear, don’t breed.

Joe “Gaffe-O-Matic” Biden says “we underestimated the economy” You did, did you? How’s so Joe, are you finally admitting that you and every other useless air head that claims themselves a “politician” are just that f’n stupid, that you couldn’t see the train-wreck you and your counterparts caused? And yes, for the thousandth time this recession is caused by government meddling in the free markets, I guess probably not, you and home boy Bamabi are wealthy it doesn’t hurt you people nearly as bad when the economy tanks as the blue collar guy that just lost his job and has two kids to feed now does it, after all you have all those nice little perks of office. Let em guess Too busy ramming pork laden stimulus bills down the rest of the country’s throat to really “estimate” how bad things really were out here Joe?
Here’s your Stupid Human trick award Joe….wear it proudly.

Speaking of the pork, how is it that a website cost’s 18,000,000.00 dollars? Who’d you guys hire? I want to be on that IT crew, dang!! Think I’m kidding? I wish I was, I almost threw my coffee cup across the room when I saw this one;
From Michelle Malkin’s contribution to Human Events:

ABC News reported this week that the failed stimulus tracking website run by the White House, Recovery.gov, will get an additional $18 million taxpayer-funded injection to support a “redesign.” The Washington Examiner’s David Freddoso points out that the contract was awarded to a Maryland firm whose donors have contributed $19,000 to Maryland’s House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

18 Mil for a donation of 19K? That’s some serious kick back there, nice. Whoever signed off on this little boondoogle, when a well designed, functional web site can be done by a ten year old on his home PC for absolutely nothing….well you know the drill….here’s your award wear it proudly and all that.

I could go on forever, but why bother? The sheeple continue to plod and munch the federal grass, & the sheeple don’t care.

BAAAAAAA!

*spit*

And just as my outlook grows even more dim I’m reminded of the fact, At least there’s some smart people left in the world…go read. SHOO!

As I browsed through blogs, the news etc, I kept looking for information on the Coupe in Honduras, and the White house Kremlin reaction to it.
I fully expected Obambo to stick his foot in it once again, and predictably like the sun rises in the East, and right on cue heeeeer’s Barak!!
Well that didn’t take long I guess.

Obama came right out and said he denounced the overthrow of the Honduran president. Well that would be just swell 0-bamai except for one, well two little things:

1. The Honduran President Violated the Honduran Constitution

2. The Honduran President’s attempt to ram rod this was overruled by the Honduran Supreme court.

Yet the leader of the free world *gak* refused to support the Honduran people when they demanded that their elected President adhere to the Honduran Constitution.

Nice Obama, tell me, did you ever see a Constitution, ANY constitution you DID want upheld? I mean we know you don’t give a furry rat’s ass about ours, that much is now painfully obvious to all but the most mentally defective, but come on work with me here, Just ONE..?

Really, I’d like to see it, because not only do you routinely piss all over ours in your quest for remolding a country into whatever your arrogant over pampered terrorist coddling ass thinks is should be, now you’re off upholding two bit tin pot screw balls like this Honduran president that ran so afoul of his countries constitution they… forcefully removed him?

Jesus on a pogostick, can’t you do ANY thing right??

How in the blue fuck did you get elected in the first place? Oh right, ACORN and 52% of the country on Prozac or stoned to the gills watching American Idol, silly me, I forgot.

What; Maybe you’re a little worried ? Are you getting a little nagging feeling now that if it happened in Honduras, that maybe, just maybe, it could happen here?

And it should, you and that sorry excuse for a administration, and your cohorts in the house and Senate should be run out of DC at the end of a pitch fork.
Far as I’m concerned, it can’t happen fast enough.
Moron.

Here are some sobering numbers to read in direct opposition of the CBO, what the Media is reporting, and EPA’s, warm fuzzy rhetoric, of the C/T bill amounting to *only* the price of a “postage stamp per day”:

My congressional District, already well below national median income will see on average, a Cap and Trade cost of living increase, of 500.00 dollars a year. In my neck of the woods, that’s a death knell for almost every small business owner in the area who already live on razor thin profit margins.

That’s a “stamp” costing well over a dollar per day.

We’ll let the “inconvenient truth” slide for a second that this once again makes Barak Hussein Obama A liar. Oh screw it, ignoring the obvious won’ make it go away.

Barak Huessien Obama is a two faced, backstabbing, snake in the grass LIAR.

And I quote…”95% of Americans will receive a tax cut”

LIES, DAMN LIES, AND MORE LIES, You can’t defend it, you can’t justify it, you can’t deny it. Those are his EXACT words, yet this Cap and Trade tax doesn’t target some bogey man “fat cat rich white guy”, this tax doesn’t target the evil Haliburton KBR, Dick Cheney Cabal, it doesn’t target rich liberals in NYC and LA.

IT TARGETS YOU OBAMA VOTER.

500.00 Dollar electric bill just arrived? Little unsure just how you’re going to come up with that money?

How’s that feel pal? Not so good does it? Already out of work? Can’t pay the Electric bill this month, you better brace yourself, come 6 months from now you’ll be choosing between having electric for hot water and food for your children. You think the Utilities companies aren’t going to start hijacking rates early to protect themselves from this bullshit? No? You better think again.

Which incidentally, who is the nit wit mouth breathing moron that came up with that stamp a day garbage? I haven’t mailed a bill in over a decade, I pay everything including the US Governments extortion money, AKA taxes, online. My Parents as old fashioned as they may be, don’t use stamps much anymore, they have a computer, if they do it, I’m pretty sure 90% of Americans out there don’t buy a whole lot of stamps these days either. What alternate reality is that government drone living in?

Why do these lying weasels insist on trying to paint ‘purty pictures’ for the masses, and in doing so directly insult their intelligence? I wish I was standing with in striking range of that one, I really do, watching them pick their teeth up would give me great joy.

Alas, on to those numbers I mentioned, read em and weep…..This study was done by two PhD level Economists. And it appears on the Heritage Foundations Website

The Bill has passed the house, and is heading to the Senate. If this passes, we should be in the streets, armed to the teeth and looking for blood, enough is enough.

Sadly, as I watch the destruction of my homeland in utter dismay, my voice silenced, I lean ever closer and closer to the Militant. I think many Americans feel likewise, many are becoming unwilling to accept this governments actions, tolerate their abuses, nor will they continue to succumb to their vile agendas one more day.

It is an ever increasing worry, a nagging doubt that says; A point is rapidly being reached where negotiation and debate is no longer a viable alternative, we have no voice.

How many million Americans do not agree with the agenda being shoved down our throats by Obama and less than 1000 elected officials political elites, yet they refuse to listen?

So now, who are you going to believe?

(Strangely when I ask a Obama Supporter that very question, I get huffy nonsensical rhetoric).

Al Gore, with his souped up Power Point slide show and his claws in the carbon offset swindle, making him a wealthy man?

A political appointee of Obama’s in the CBO?

Another political appointee of Obama’s in the EPA?

Or the reality, the fact global warming is a farce, a myth concocted by radical environmentalists and Marxists?

In the end the “stamp a day” mentality is exactly what is wrong with our government, they have no qualms, none what so ever, of slapping additional burdens on the American people, they simply poo-poo it away with lofty rhetoric, and they refuse to understand that they are not by the constitution allowed to do so, they have no Legal right to do so, yet they do.

I have a choice to buy stamps, I choose not to, but with this bill I have no choice and sooner or later, when too many choices are taken away form the American people, there will be a reckoning, and I fear it will be bloody.

UPDATE **

The Bobo Files digs thru this abortion of a bill, and finds out, low income earners will get money, cash, shekles, call it what you will, placed directly into their bank accounts via the bill.

Worked and paid your electrical bills? Uncle Sam is going to take that money, and give it to the “poor”. In Cold hard Cash.
