I don't understand it. I've been trying to put my finger on it but I just can't. When and where was the fatal shift in America from seeing what was important to creating importance in order to further our own personal beliefs? I think I have it to within a decade, 1946-1956.
America is still such a young country in the scheme of things and we have come a long way in such a short amount of time. We are still the world's super power although China is right behind us. I mean hell, they only have 5 times our population and are thousands of years older than us... It's about damn time they got their proverbial shit together.
But we are regressing, not progressing. And indeed it did start after WWII. What we had was a bunch of men coming back and saying "I don't ever want my kids to go through the hardships I did." I mean they went right from the Great Depression to the front lines. Who would want their kids to go through that?
Along with the technological advances that gave people easier lives with "AUTOMATIC!" dishwashers, and "AUTOMATIC!" appliances throughout the house, it allowed people to ease off the gas for a while. And with that shift came a shift in the paradigm of the nation. Parents, while making life easy for their kids, still ruled with an iron fist. Those who were born to the hard working Ward Cleavers decided that mom and dad, who had given them a much easier life and didn't spare the rod, didn't know what they were talking about.
Enter now Communists. Yes yes, the Communists. They were here in the 40's and before but didn't dare say anything. With the big counter-culture revolution in the 60's they found their platform after McCarthyism died off. They came with the idea that all people could simply work together and all would be equal. Not a bad idea for a bunch of kids who were given everything and didn't know war or intense poverty. After all, they didn't have to do anything for what they had so it made perfect sense. And the outside influence of this was of course from Communist countries that despised the fact the capitalism actually works better and faster than anything else in the history of the world.
Throw in a request from some country called France and we have Vietnam. Now, exit France post haste as soon as we get there (to fight the communists by the way), and we are left in a war where we dribble troops in bit by bit, and they die as fast as we can put them on the ground. Give us a media that is anti-government, anti-war at all costs, anti-everything and you have a new way of thinking.
When we finally pull out we have a country who hates the very military that gives them the freedom to hate the military. We bring in the environment, animal rights, abortion, unending money to the poor... lots of things to take our minds off the big picture, which is the protection and strength building of our nation. We have allowed ourselves to be blinded and we are paying a grave price.
I listen to Michael Savage from time to time and for the most part I like what he says. The other day, however, he goes off on gays. I mean the whole, "two fags doing unspeakable things to each other" rant. He mentions that every major religion in the world is against it and it's so horrible that this general in Iraq is being drug through the mud because he spoke out against gays.
Dude, who cares? It is yet another side show to get our minds off of what is truly important. Honestly we are so far gone as a society that what is truly important will never beat out how Anna Nichole died, so it's almost a moot point. But why is a guy who does see the big picture (or at least I thought he did) allowing himself to be so distracted? Oh yeah, by the way, infidelity is also against every major religion in the world but I don't see people going ape shit over that.
This is what I see is killing America and needs to be addressed, though never really will be:
1) Radicalism. From Imams who live here that have publicly said they were against terrorism, have been caught funneling money to terrorists, to the unending religious right BS. My experience in Iraq showed me that most Muslims have no tolerance for non-Muslims and my experience in America tells me that most hardcore Bible thumpers don't have a tolerance for anybody outside of their faith (Please see the Phelps family from the Westboro Baptist Church for more information. The big difference in my eyes is the whole killing people thing. Generally, and there are exceptions to the rule, the far right don't kill people willy-nilly.
2) Never ending taxes. The government's constant search for more money. In 1950 the GDP was 1,777,300,000 in year 2000 US dollars. Population was 151,235,000. In 2004 GDP was 10,703,500,000 in year 2000 USD and the populations was 293,655,000. http://eh.net/hmit/gdp/
That's 6 times the GDP with only 1.9 time the people. Stunning. Yet we have shitty roads, shitty schools, a military that is too small and underfunded, rampant poverty, jobs flying out of our country... Yet what do the politicians (mostly Dems though not always) want to do? Raise taxes. I understand why the wealthy send the jobs over seas. Taxes here are debilitating. I myself pay 15% of everything I make just in FICA that I will never see again.
3) Unions. Yes they had a purpose in the start of our nation but now they simply tear us apart. GM is the largest auto maker in the world yet they can't turn a profit. They are in business to pay out on all the pensions their retirees have, while at the same time paying some Joe 6-pack with at the most a trade school education, 40 bucks an hour to watch a machine put a widget together.
4) Illegal Immigration) Just ask the Native Americans what happens when immigration goes unchecked. Jorge from Tijuana should not get a new heart on the American tax payer dollars when he hasn't put shit into the system. Anchor babies are your golden ticket if you are illiterate and broke from another country. And no Geraldo, we did not "lure them here". We made a nice life for ourselves and have always allowed people to come in legally. It's not our fault their countries suck.
5) The push by Uncle Scam to make the US population completely dependant on the government. We need the Gov. to tell us how to live our lives. No spanking your kids, no paying for sex, though if you film it you just call it a porn movie and you are OK. We have to label all "offensive" music, Thank you Tipper Gore. And oh, by the way, don't you find it odd that so many Libby rock stars all supported Gore even though his haus frau was responsible for the parental advisory labels we have all over the place? It truly goes to show you that the Libs will back anybody Liberal no matter if they are diametrically opposed to their beliefs.
6) Last but certainly not least, our new found belief that every opinion matters. It used to be if you were a moron you were ignored and that was just fine. Now, even the most irrelevant and ridiculous ideas have backing of one organization or another. The most useless and irrelevant organization in the world, the UN, is also the most dangerous. Though totally opposed to the war in Iraq, even after UN resolution 1441 was passed, they have no problem having 17 current UN "Peacekeeping" operations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_UN_peacekeepers_are_currently_deployed
Seven in Africa alone, where none of the help actually gets to the people who need it. I'm willing to bet there were just as many government sponsored tortures and executions per capita in Iraq as most of those places yet Coffe Cup Annan had a shit fit over Iraq but not The Ivory Coast or Liberia. Always trying to keep the brown man down I suppose.
So that is that. Come on America, let's get our act together. Spank your kids if they need it and don't keep telling them that they are doing great if they aren't. Not everybody should make the team and not everybody should get a trophy at the end of the year. You are doing them a disservice by cushioning life for them like that. Tell the guy who says that the National Endowment for the Arts should pay some hippy 5 grand for a misspelled one word poem to go to hell and shut up, and tell the people who get bent out of shape about a naked chocolate Jesus (thanks Yah) to relax, smoke a bowl, and shut the fuck up. Yes people, Jesus had a schlong and I'm sure at some point in his life he used it for one action or another. Let people smoke in smoking sections, but tell them the rest of us don't want to pay for their stupidity with higher insurance rates because of it. Make it so that if you smoke you don't get covered for smoking related illnesses. Focus on the real problems. Don't keep voting for people who want to raise your taxes because it won't help. Don't think you are helpless. If somebody breaks into your house, don't try to talk your way out of it and call the cops so we can pay for the trial and the 10 years he'll do in prison, as well as the next trial and the next prison term. Instead blow him away. End it all right then and there and don't even think of allowing the family of the afore mentioned ass hole to sue the home owner.
Maybe, just maybe, we can pull this out.

You are stupid...
Offensive rating: 10/10
Chances are that you, mister John Q. or Jane Q. public, are deaf, dumb, and blind in all matters which actually count. Yes you may have a degree. You may have a genius IQ. You may even be an esteemed professor but you still are most likely a moron.
I hate to think that the populous of the world is so inept and downright retarded but the fact is that on a daily basis I see evidence of such an affliction. Nowhere in the world is this more blazing orange than in the political world.
Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi is demanding of the US government an Air Force equivalent of a 757 with a crew of 14 to take her from Washington to California whenever she wants. Cost of the trip is $300,000 each way. Rep John Murtha (D-PA), chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense "urged administration officials to give her what she wanted. He also happened to mention that she was in charge approving budgets so it would behoove them to comply. Previously House speakers took commercial airlines to travel.
The honorable Ms. Pelosi was also involved with getting American Samoa exempted from the minimum wage hike. Oh, by the way, Star Kist Tuna, who's parent company is Del Monte, is a major employer in American Samoa. Where is Del Monte head quartered you ask? In Nancy Pelosi's district.
Intelligent people understand why the minimum wage is a bad thing to begin with. If you don't understand I'll give you a crash course. If everybody has more money, money is worth less. If companies have to pay more for their work force, they pass the increase on to the consumer and therefor prices go up and your buying power goes down. That's pretty much it down and dirty. However minimum wage hikes appeal to the lowest common denominator of people and they are a great thing to campaign on when you have a lot of poor people in your voting pool. The more you give them for free, the more they vote for you.
So Pelosi says to the populace, "I will raise the minimum wage because I care about you." But she is smart and knows where her money comes from so doesn't do it in a place that messes with her money supply and that quite honestly most people in America have never heard of, let alone know it is subject to American policy.
What an arrogant bitch. Will she get re-elected again? I'd put my house on it. $600,000 a week buys a lot of WIC food for the poor, starving children of America. It sure as hell builds one amazing levee to protect the people of New Orleans next time they ignore a hurricane. Maybe she hates blacks... $600,000 helps an Iraq vet with no legs get his life back. It pays for a lot of heart transplants for illegals. It covers a lot of welfare checks. But instead she would prefer to use it as her personal taxi service. Friend of the poor and down trodden indeed.
We have seen this before from her ilk. King Bill and Queen Hillary have a beautiful home with a guest house for the secret service to live in. Coincidentally they charge the secret service rent in the exact amount of their mortgage each month.
And YOU, people of the world, are to blame. Because it is not just American politicians that do it. Friend of the world and ex-head of the U.N., Coffee Cup Anan, the great peace maker and embezzler of billions, was chilling in Jackson Hole, Wyoming when the tsunami hit a few years ago. Then he stood by and allowed 100% taxes from the governments on all aid that went into those backwards ass countries. He also watched as UN aid workers traded food for sex with young girls all over Africa. He was against going into Iraq, even though a UN resolution said we could, but he sent troops from all over the world into Africa to fight there. Ah yes.
I had a person tell me they voted for Kerry because he understood the poor better. When you say "Pass the Ketchup" and your wife's name is on it, you don't know shit about being poor.
People please stop fooling yourself. You don't know what is going on in the world. You don't even know most of what goes on in your own back yard. Pay attention! Look down the rabbit hole, Unplug from the Matrix and see what is going down.

The Tax Man Cometh
Offensive rating: 3/10
Well it is a new year and I am already thinking about taxes. Ah yes, taxes. We pay them all day, every day. We pay gas tax and sales tax on cars in order to keep our roads pot hole free (and a marvelous job we are doing too), we pay income tax, bot state and federal, we pay tax at the grocery store on the food we eat, our phones are taxed, our gadgets and gizmos are taxed, our medicine and beer are taxed, and the final kick in the nuts, we are taxed on the money we have already been taxed on when we die.
Yes we pay taxes and then more taxes. We pay taxes when most don't even realize we are paying them. Yet we still have chasm like pot-holes, sub-standard schools, mediocre police protection, politicians with expense accounts at the Bellagio, crappy cell coverage, and an all intrusive government that would rather try to catch you not paying your taxes than catch a terrorist. I know I know, all those cameras on the streets are to catch red light runners and all the phone taps are to catch "terrorists". We would never use them against Americans just trying to make their way in the world.
So now there is a man and woman in New Hampshire who have holed themselves up in their home in New Hampshire because the Man in is their front yard waiting to arrest them for not paying taxes. "Live free or die!" the man keeps yelling. His gripe, and it's a good one, is that he pays more taxes than the president of the United States and makes less money, because he doesn't know all the write offs like the pres does. Yes, indeed that does suck. However any decent accountant can get the same write offs for you and all the info is available on the net or in books. So that I think should fall on him. LLCs, S-Corps, and other things are set up to allow people who work for their money to keep it. A friend of mine made almost 2 million last year and shelled out around $875,000 to Uncle Scam. To what end? His roads are not better, he has no kids but the kids around him aren't doing any better in school, the cops still take forever to get to a problem... where is his money going?
Many say that we need higher taxes, that more money will allow us to do more things... Poppy-cock I say. Every year more and more money goes into the black hole we call the US treasury never to be seen again. If we were to raise taxes another 10% on the top earners in America would that help? DO you think our daily lives would be greatly or even marginally enhanced? Highly doubtful. In fact I would put money on it.
Here is a little of my own private tax paying history. In 2004, my first full year in real estate I made give or take $32,000. I worked 6 days a week, nights, weekends, early mornings... the whole bit. My expenses? Give or take $40,000. I had more write offs than earnings so I didn't have to pay income tax because I didn't really make anything. And on top of that I was paying interest on the loans I had to take out. I did however have to pay FICA to the tune of 15%. Yes that's a little perk of being self-employed, I don't get to split my FICA with my employer and only pay 7.5%. Nope I paid 15% on the full $32,000. I will never see that money again. Ever.
And when the option came up to the powers that be to even allow me to take a portion of it to invest for myself I was told that the American people weren't capable enough to invest that money. That we NEEDED the government to do it for us. Well let's see, when I turn 65 I will have approximately $0 from social security. Even if I took $1000 of my FICA taxes every year and stuck it in a simple savings account I would have... let's see... carry the 5... a lot more than $0.
So I continue to pay my taxes and my hero in New Hampshire will be arrested and imprissioned when the Waco-ites on his lawn finally get to him. I won't get into the frivolous things our tax money is going to, that's a blog for another time, but I will say congrats to the man who says, "To what end do I pay my taxes?"
Here is a little info courtesy of http://www.taxhistory.org/
In 2003 the Pres "made" $822,126. Riiiiiight. $727,083 of that was taxable. He paid $227,494 in taxes putting him in the 31% bracket. He had $115,661 withheld and had a $173,280 carry over from 2002. So that means he gets back (carries over) $61,451 to 2004. Not bad for making over $800,000
Now the venerable John Kerry, champion of the poor and impoverished "made" $395,338 (riiiiiiiiiiiiight) in 2003, $346,664 taxable. He had $27,277 withheld. He ended up paying a total of $90,575 meaning he paid a whopping 26% in taxes.
Now we all know they made tons more than that but they are smart and know where to put it. They understand that it's not what you make but what you keep and that any money they out into the system is lost. The great part about it is that it is legal. It is available for anybody to do. So I say get educated people. Don't be guilted into betting on a losing horse. Own don't rent, write off things for your works... do what the people in Washington do. Do what they do but make sure you pay what you owe because the IRS can just go into your bank account and take what they want. Not to mention charge "fees and interest" that would make any loan shark in Little Italy giddy. And if you don't think that your favorite political figure from either side cares more about the money than they do about you, remember this. Michael Moore owns or has owned large quantities of Halliburton and Fox news has changed content because the Saudi "royal" family owns stock.

Clarification
I have heard from some people that they thought I was saying Barrack Hussein Obama was Muslim. As I recal I never said that. I was simply worried about his "leanings" and the possible perception of safe haven for terrorists of a certain vein.

I'm Back
Well I'm back at it. I had to create a new page because for some reason I couldn't get into the old one. Let the offending begin...
Offensive rating: 10/10
Obama... you have to be shitting me. You cannot tell me that that is a good idea. He says he is not a Muslim... but he has, from much of what I have read, definite Muslim leanings. Let me ask you, would it be beyond the realm of possibility for him to be a "Manchurian candidate" for Islam? Can we take that risk with our nation? I mean granted, it is falling apart around us anyway but if you think Bush has heavy ties to Saudi and Kuwait, wait until what happens if this Obama guy gets in.
There are way too many questions. One of the biggest criticisms of Bush I hear is that he is a Bible thumper. Is Obama secretly a Qu'ran thumper? If he is this country is in for a whole new level of religious oppression. Church and state will become one. All these loud mouth feminists out there will be in a Burka walking five steps behind, belonging to to the men they hate so much and the rule of thumb will be back in place.
I say this partially tongue in cheek but I am not wrong by saying we will see a huge shift in this country if he gets elected (though I wouldn't mind the feminists being put in their place). There will be a huge influx of Muslims into this country due to the fact that the NAME runs the most powerful nation on the planet. More than ever those who say anything against Islam will be called "racist" and deemed hate-mongers while Christians and Jews continue to put up with the banning of anything remotely religious (Religious items on walls in public places, Easter-bunny decorations at the DMV which a lady got in trouble for, and the latest lefty ploy, the ceasing of church bells tolling). And in the case of the Jews, the anti-Semitic actions that take place all over the country on a daily basis. Where as if he is elected, I wouldn't be surprised to see many more mosques pop up with the newly immigrated population and the screeching out of the loud speaker five times a day. Hey, I lived with it for a year... don't say "How could you say such a thing?!" if you haven't had to put up with it. Not to mention the fact that more than ever anybody who rolled their eyes at a Muslim would be in hot watter. Already you risk judgment. Simply by doing this I'm sure I'll get a ton of back lash.
And I should also add that this doesn't have anything to do with Obama himself. He may be completely moderate (though I doubt it) but it will be the world wide perception that will change. We will get the influx of new Muslims simply because of the name of the president. It has nothing to do with the man himself. The rest will happen on its own. He is after all, a civil rights lawyer, which, I can't imagine a worse title for a president. He needs to run some non-profit, not the USA. Presidents need to think rationally and do what is best for the nation, not worry if people's feelings get hurt. I just have a feeling that the most important things to me, security, 2nd amendment, and freedom from government oppression will be destroyed under this Obama guy... Though come to think of it, I'd probably rather have him than Hillary.

Let me ask you, would it be beyond the realm of possibility for him to be a "Manchurian candidate" for Islam? Can we take that risk with our nation? I mean granted, it is falling apart around us anyway but if you think Bush has heavy ties to Saudi and Kuwait, wait until what happens if this Obama guy gets in.
There are way too many questions. One of the biggest criticisms of Bush I hear is that he is a Bible thumper. Is Obama secretly a Qu'ran thumper? If he is this country is in for a whole new level of religious oppression. Church and state will become one. All these loud mouth feminists out there will be in a Burka walking five steps behind, belonging to to the men they hate so much and the rule of thumb will be back in place.
I say this partially tongue in cheek but I am not wrong by saying we will see a huge shift in this country if he gets elected (though I wouldn't mind the feminists being put in their place). There will be a huge influx of Muslims into this country due to the fact that the NAME runs the most powerful nation on the planet. More than ever those who say anything against Islam will be called "racist" and deemed hate-mongers while Christians and Jews continue to put up with the banning of anything remotely religious (Religious items on walls in public places, Easter-bunny decorations at the DMV which a lady got in trouble for, and the latest lefty ploy, the ceasing of church bells tolling). And in the case of the Jews, the anti-Semitic actions that take place all over the country on a daily basis. Where as if he is elected, I wouldn't be surprised to see many more mosques pop up with the newly immigrated population and the screeching out of the loud speaker five times a day. Hey, I lived with it for a year... don't say "How could you say such a thing?!" if you haven't had to put up with it. Not to mention the fact that more than ever anybody who rolled their eyes at a Muslim would be in hot watter. Already you risk judgment. Simply by doing this I'm sure I'll get a ton of back lash.
And I should also add that this doesn't have anything to do with Obama himself. He may be completely moderate (though I doubt it) but it will be the world wide perception that will change. We will get the influx of new Muslims simply because of the name of the president. It has nothing to do with the man himself. The rest will happen on its own. He is after all, a civil rights lawyer, which, I can't imagine a worse title for a president. He needs to run some non-profit, not the USA. Presidents need to think rationally and do what is best for the nation, not worry if people's feelings get hurt. I just have a feeling that the most important things to me, security, 2nd amendment, and freedom from government oppression will be destroyed under this Obama guy... Though come to think of it, I'd probably rather have him than Hillary.
