They Just Can’t Let Us Enjoy the Good Things…..

“Our will was only emboldened by Mayor Bloomberg's heavy-handed attempt to eradicate Occupy Wall Street; our brutal eviction from our homes at Liberty Square has strengthened both our resolve and our legitimacy.”   - Actual Quote from OWS Official Website

 

Dammit! I was having such a good morning until the Occupy nutjobs had to go and ruin it for me! Woke up without the cold / fever that’s been hanging on for the past several days; had a great morning with my beautiful bride, Jackie; the sun’s shining and despite the fact that he’s a Gator, I find myself inexplicably fascinated with the success of Tim Tebow. I’ve said many times that God doesn’t care about sports. He doesn’t. That’s a fact. But I have to believe that He’d give more than a passing glance to someone like Tebow who so openly discusses his Faith when shying away from the topic is most certainly the easier option. I’m not a big Bronco’s fan and I absolutely loathe John Elway (personal reasons – he’s worthy of my ire, I assure you), but I have to give a big smile and a manly nod to Tim Tebow.

After I filled my head with useless commentary from a former-Cowboy-riddled panel of experts (both openly Christian as well, just far more confusing attire), I flipped over to the news. I watch the coverage of ‘the movement’ in much the same manner as we all watch coverage of anything that takes place in a trailer park. I personally lend no legitimacy whatsoever to these jobless, clueless, deodorant-less idiots but some of their quotes are just comical. The passion they show for something about which they know nothing is amusing. I’m not even sure which channel I was watching this morning, but the commentator made some comment about the OWS Website. A website might lead to good material for an article, but instead it just got my blood boiling.

When I stumbled upon the quote above, I nearly ruined a perfectly good chair. Let’s break it down, word by enraging word. Okay, first…..your “will was only emboldened”. Use of the word ‘will’ suggests that there is some kind of organized mission. That’s not true. You’re all uninformed morons who aim to disrupt capitalism. You can’t. Go home. You claim victory in the size of your crowds, but I’m not impressed. Finding a thousand people who want to attach themselves to a group whose flame is being fanned by media   exposure is not legitimacy, idiot. Second, “heavy handed attempt to eradicate Occupy Wall Street”. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states that you “have the right to peacefully assemble.” I know it’s a moot point since nine out ten people who cite the First Amendment as their claim to legitimacy couldn’t tell you what the second or third amendment are. Heck, most of them couldn’t even tell you what the first amendment is about, they just heard someone else say it. Anyway, you do have the right to peacefully assemble but you do not have the right to poop in the streets. You do not have the right to turn a park on the border of what should be considered Holy land into a tent-city, slum-village. You do not have the right to keep anyone from going to work and you most assuredly do not have the right to interfere with the construction efforts going on across the street from your ‘headquarters’. That land belongs to patriots and fallen heroes who worked in buildings dominated by capitalist organizations. (Those buildings were destroyed by another ‘movement’) Your free speech ends when mine is restricted, got it? Third; your “brutal eviction” from your “homes in Liberty Square?” Seriously? Your ‘homes’? What the heck, bro? Dude, like, you can’t lay claim to public property and stuff, man. It’s like, not yours to claim. Go take a shower and an absurdly painful round of immunization shots. Congratulations, you’ve brought back Scurvy.

The last part of the quote, the part about “strengthening the resolve and legitimacy”. Well, that’s just nonsense. You have no legitimacy. You may have resolve, but it’s misguided and will soon fade just like everything in your world seems to do. Logic and true legitimacy will soon wash away the stains of your movement. (Kind of like your mom washing your undies for you, huh dude?) The holes in your theories will begin to expand as your demands are shot down methodically and logically. Your movement is nothing but a chance for a bunch of entitled, lazy, morons to get together and try to lay claim to something they didn’t earn. You have no leadership. You have no direction. All you have is blame. Sooner or later, blame fades to need. Those numbers you point to as signs of victory will continue to dwindle as quickly as media interest. Public interest is already gone.

Your movement is based on insanity. Your chants about “99%” are axiomatically false. That 1% you seem to hate so much has every right to use their wealth to influence government. They’re the ones paying into the system. Without the 1% you hold in such disregard, there would be no police to keep you safe in your “homes”. There would be no sanitation departments to clean up after you. There would be no parks for you to claim as your own. There would be no refunds for you to receive. Our corporations pay more in taxes than the corporations of any other country in the world. But that’s not what you’re complaining about, is it? You believe corporations should stay out of government, correct? So vote for someone who doesn’t take contributions from them! I promise you that candidate is NOT the one currently claiming to ‘have your back”. That man is as clueless as you are!

I’m willing to bet my left pinky that a minimum of 50% of the people in any “Occupy” location around the country either received refunds from the government last year, or didn’t file a return. I’m sure the number is actually much, much higher than that but if you want to wage your own finger to prove it, be my guest! You rant about billionaires but receive funding from George Soros. You vehemently oppose corporate greed from the platform of your pithy Tweets sent from your iPad while sitting in Starbuck’s personifying Massengill. Nothing you stand for makes any sense, so go back to your mom’s basement and assess your priorities. Perhaps use the time to remove the bolts from your face, wash the disgusting mess on top of your head, shave, and fill out a few job-applications. Don’t be afraid to contribute a little hard work to one of those evil corporations if they offer you the chance.

 

As always, thanks for playing! Have a great weekend!

Giving Away the USA….

"There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation." – Margaret Thatcher

 

Ever heard of the Universal Service Fee? Ever see it on your cell-phone bill and just assume it’s a fee you signed up for at some point? Guess what…..it’s not. The Universal Service Fee is a program by which you, me, and anyone else working hard to pay their own constantly changing cell phone bill are actually paying for “low-income families” to enjoy cell-phone freedom. You see, the money you pay to cover this fee each month is then collected from your carrier and turned into cell-phones for the poor.

“According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) telecom providers receive money from the Universal Service Fund to provide cell service to low income residents. In order to qualify for the program you need to show you are receiving additional forms of assistance like food stamps or TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families). The Universal Service is funded by fees paid to telephone providers when customers pay their phone bill.” {Chris Nagus – KMOV}

I’m sick of providing for those unwilling to provide for themselves. Just because I have something you want does not mean you are entitled to it. Welfare, dependence, entitlement……they’re all  damaging but prevalent mentalities in our country. Remember the old days when you worked your tail off with a goal in mind? Our country has become the equivalent of 312 million little brothers and sisters whining because we don’t get gifts on our big brother’s birthday. The liberal in you is laughing dismissively at that comparison, but you know as well as I do that it’s true. We’ve got to put an end to it.

Where’s the pride? Where’s the American Spirit we all claim to hold so dear? That spirit, the one we all claim to understand…….it says nothing about getting crap you didn’t earn!! If you didn’t earn enough money, and carefully budget that money, to go out in your own car, fueled by gas that you paid for, and buy your own damn cell phone then you don’t get a cell phone. You’re just going to have to wait to call all of your life advancing associates so eagerly awaiting your contact. It’s easy for me to sit here and complain from the safety of my computer, but what can we do to make a serious dent in this crippling mentality? What can any of us do on our own? After all, you didn’t get a choice in whether or not you paid this Universal Service Fee, did you? No, you didn’t. It was something that was simply added to your bill, never explained, and forced upon you. If you don’t pay it, you don’t get to continue using your own phone. That’s fair, right? Pay for someone else’s free phone, or we take yours away. Exactly how our forefathers drew it up, right?

It’s high time we start letting the people responsible for actions such as the Universal Service Fee know that we are sick of funding mediocrity. We’re sick of supporting a system that allows and encourages lucrative unemployment. There are streets that need cleaning, graffiti that needs erasing, highways that need repair, and neighborhoods that need policing. Do some of that and then we can talk about getting a cell-phone, okay? Being unemployed has become a full time job. If you’re good enough at it, you can get pretty much anything you want without having to work for it. Truly indigent is one thing. Poor, uneducated, and loud by choice is quite another. Why do I have to give a cell phone to a man that refers to me as “whitey” or “cracker” and then insinuates that I’m racist if I don’t vote for an unqualified, unproven, un-American candidate? Obama was elected because an overwhelming number of people believed he would provide them with more free crap than John McCain would have provided.

The biggest problem is not the laziness and loudmouthed pride in borderline illiteracy. It’s not the “gimme that cause you got it and I want it” attitude that seems to have   gripped our nation’s youth. It’s not even the welfare system itself. The problem is that we have let lawyers and corrupt legislators get us to a point where there are more people taking from the system than there are contributing to it. There are more people with their hand in the cookie jar than there are cookies. Do you understand, or should I come up with another way to say it? There are more foxes in the hen-house than chickens or eggs. Giving to those truly in need is a noble, generous cause. Expanding the definition of ‘need’ to include those who simply don’t want to work is criminal.

Here’s a short list of just a few of the entitlement programs YOU are funding…..

Universal Service Fee

Medicare / Medicaid

Social Security

529 / Coverdell

Supplemental Security Income

Pell Grants

Unemployment Benefits

Welfare/Public Assistance

LIHEAP (Low Income Housing Energy Assistance Program – 1 in 10 recipients are fraudulent!!!)

Stafford Loans

Food Stamps

TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program)

Consolidated Health Care Centers Program

As I’m sure you are aware, these are just a few of the literally hundreds of ways people are continuously milking our country dry. To make matters worse, the people tasked with running, monitoring, and enforcing the guidelines and policies of these programs are “mentally unemployed” despite the fact they collect a paycheck backed by my tax dollars. Fraud, failure to identify fraud, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement…..there are too many stories to count. We continue to get screwed while manipulative people manipulate a system that encourages and thrives upon manipulation.

You know what has to be done, make sure it happens!

As always, thanks for playing!

“He who lies for you will also lie against you” – Bosnian Proverb

 

First off, I hope everyone’s weekend was as enjoyable as mine. I seem to be experiencing more enjoyable weekends lately than any man has a right to experience. Those people responsible for this welcomed change know who they are. Thank you.

 

Now that the niceties are out of the way, there were a few things that just made my jaw drop over the weekend. No, it wasn’t the combined scores of my two favorite football teams. (89-14; if you’re wondering.) It wasn’t the fact that my least favorite teams ALL lost, although that was pretty nice. Sadly, those are happy thoughts. The thoughts that inspired this article were more flummoxing than happily enjoyed.

I know I spew a lot of anti-liberal rhetoric. The fact that I recently received my first piece of poorly written, vaguely vulgar, hate mail tells me the efforts are paying off. There are very few things in this world that bring me more joy than infuriating a liberal. (Keep ‘em coming, Hippies! Your hatred fuels me!) That being said, I’m starting to get overwhelmed with the frequency of the lunacy coming from the left side of our planet. I can’t keep up. I am literally going to have to get one of those recorders that journalists and Rain Man carry to help them remember stories and ideas. Today, I think I can combine two or three stories into one. Perhaps it’s a cheap trick to get a bunch of ideas stuffed into one article, but there are others that need to be written and researched so I’ll take the risk, Forgive me. 

There are two pieces of news that broke this weekend. I want to take a look at the way the two stories are being reported and followed by the media. In fact, I’ll go ahead and throw the Herman Cain scandal  and the Solyndra scandal in there for good measure. Four stories……how are they followed"? Which ones will you hear more about? Who do you think benefits from the “appropriate” levels of coverage and interest?

STORY ONE - “Obama Smallpox Debacle” It was revealed over the weekend that our brilliant and honorable President Barack HUSSEIN Obama, spent $443 million to research a disease that was officially deemed “eradicated” in 1978. What? Surely you would have heard about this, right? Oh, it’s absolutely true. $443 million in taxpayer money to research an irrelevant disease. Riots in the streets of almost every city in the country as tattooed and pierced morons demand an end to greed, yet the man who claims to be their political voice is giving 443-million of our dollars to a bunch of his democrat-funding cronies. A no-bid contract to well known democratic-donation-machine Ron Perelman and Andy Stern whose character is questionable at best. Hear anything about it? No? Interesting.

STORY TWO - “Solyndra Mishandling” You’ve heard about this one, right? President Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his little lap-lander, Biden travelled to the headquarters of the solar energy company and posed for lots of photos. There’s the famous video of Obama lifting the solar panel and flexing his massive pythons as he does. If he had only been wearing a pear of pink leggings and a red leotard, the image would have been complete! Anyway, it’s far from a laughing matter that soon after the photographers left, a taxpayer backed check was made out to Solyndra in the amount of $500 million. The company went bankrupt, and we’re left paying the tab. Oh, and to put the feces flavored icing on the turd-cake we’ve been eating for the last 3.5 years, the Senior Energy Department Official who authorized and monitored the loan was none other than Obama’s top fundraiser. You heard all of these details over and over again, right? Every lead is being thoroughly investigated, right? The level of media coverage surely has left no stone unturned. If you believe that, you’re insane. Get out of my way.

Okay, for those of you keeping score at home, that’s $943 million of taxpayer money; GONE! We’re never getting that money back and very little has been done to stop it from happening again. In fact, we are being asked to believe that the best way to prevent further outbreaks of random shenanigans is to re-elect this babbling idiot and all of his little cronies.

$943 million LOST in just TWO STORIES!!!!

 

 

 

Now let’s take a look at two more stories that you may have heard a little bit more about, shall we?

STORY THREE – “Spencer Bachus” Spencer, a Representative from the great state of Alabama with one of those ‘dirty little “R’s” next to his name, moved some of his personal money around so that it wouldn’t be exposed to the volatility sure to follow the upcoming bailouts Obama was tossing to all who demanded them. It didn’t take a financial genius to figure out that there would be some stock market reaction to the bailout solution Obama seems to believe is the Band-Aid we’ve been missing. It certainly didn’t require insider information to predict such reactions, yet the media would have you believe Mr Bachus withheld information from the public while he positioned himself for an exclusive gain. It’s simply not true. He moved his personal assets from one area exposed to the effects of Obama’s lunacy to another that would be spared temporarily. There is nothing illegal about what he did, but I’m willing to bet you will know every detail of Spencer Bachus’s dirty-republican life before the Holiday Season comes to an end. Cost to taxpayers - $0

STORY FOUR - “Herman Cain” Who hasn’t heard the tawdry details of Herman Cain and his perverted, deviant lifestyle. The man is apparently insatiable, and as we all know, anything sexual is simply offensive to the left. (See: Lewinsky, NAMBLA, ACLU, Jersey Shore, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Nancy Pelosi’s Girls Gone Wild appearance (Okay, I just vomited a little as I wrote that. I made it up, folks! Lighten up!)) My point is that the evidence against Mr Cain is miniscule to say the least yet there she is. Ms Gloria Allred, the original Femi-Nazi, hugging Mr Cain’s victim who has surprisingly forgotten all about the crippling pain he delivered to her life until such time as money could be made from un-repressing her 20+ year old memories. I say bovine-excrement, madam! You’ve heard this story a few times, I imagine. Cost to taxpayers: $0

Google Searches Relative to all four stories:

2:01 CST 11/14/2011 “Obama Smallpox Debacle”

ONE relevant story

2:18 CST 11/14/2011 “Solyndra Mishandling”

6 Relevant Stories (2 Praising White House for Rejecting Subpoena of Documents Relating to Solyndra)

2:21 CST 11/14/2011 “Spencer Bachus”

NINE results relevant to claim of insider trading + FOUR “related searches” + Personal E-Mail Address + Voting Record

2:28 CST 11/14/2011 “Herman Cain”

14 Relevant to Scandal ONLY + 3 Videos from Gloria Allred

 

Are you starting to see the trend here? Do you find it as ridiculous as I do? It’s not just the government. Our ire should be equally cast at the media who supports such nonsense and in return believes us to be too stupid to catch it. STAND UP AND CATCH IT, AMERICA!! If we allow this lunacy to continue, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Again, $943 million to $0, yet first page search results for the two topics featuring those little “(R)’s” next to the names of the subjects receive over three to one coverage. We have to stand up and stop this. We’re allowing ourselves to be led to destruction.

 

As always, thanks for playing!

Veteran’s Day

by J Robert Giles – CLICK HERE for full site

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him. For then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”   - Mark Twain

Last night I had the distinct privilege of attending a Veteran’s Day concert at Bernard Middle School here in St Louis. My stepdaughter, Ellie, is in the school choir. She was very excited about not only her first concert, but to be honoring what she already considers a very deserving segment of our society. The entire production was very well put together and the songs chosen were as respectful as they were enjoyable. The large group of veterans in attendance appeared to have a good time.

Ellie sang her heart out when called upon to do so. She even developed a little “southern Baptist head-bob” action I hadn’t seen before. The smile on her face throughout the presentation told me the nervousness she felt all day leading up to the concert vanished as she released the first note.

I also had several “teachable moments” with Aidan, my 6 year old son, throughout the evening.(Brace yourselves liberals; I’m about to talk about “traditional family values” and patriotism. Seek shelter.) Aidan has always been fascinated with the military in all it’s glorious forms. Of course, his knowledge thus far has been limited to the things he’s seen in Transformers movies,  and anything covering the topic of SuperHeroes. He’s also keenly aware of the fact his “Pop-Pop” (my Dad) was a pilot in the Air Force. Jets are just about the coolest thing imaginable to a boy Aidan’s age, so the fact that his grandpa flew one makes for fantastic street cred in First Grade circles. During last night’s presentation, Sergeant First Class David Keefer, in full dress blues, spoke in his distinctly Army tone with his distinctly Army humor. His jokes were clean, his words were clear, his presence was commanding, and his message was sincere. Aidan was mesmerized.

SFC Keefer brought up a good point during his opening address. It is his opinion that “before one can lead this country, one must have fought for this country.” While I certainly agree with the sentiments behind that statement, I understand the reality of the world in which we live would never allow such a restriction to be enforced. Can you imagine the ACLUrection the liberal side of our legal system would be sporting of we attempted to pass such a law? No, SFC Keefer; your heart’s in the right place, but I think the best we can hope for is that we vote for someone in the next election who can, at a bare minimum, prove that he’s from this country.

Every year, on Veteran’s Day, I read articles, hear news stories, and listen to DJ’s on the radio saying  to “thank a vet today.” While the idea of thanking a vet is always there, I must say that I’ve never come out and done it in words. I have worked closely with the Armed Forces in my career, and will always feel a higher sense of commitment to the traditions, values, and community of the military than most. Today, I would like to thank the important people in my life that have served honorably and voluntarily.

“ Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.”  - General George S. Patton

Dad – Your service to our country in a time when such noble pursuits were openly opposed by hippies, easily fooled’s, and Jane Fonda has always been a source of inspiration. One of my earliest memories is of our backyard in Big Spring; sitting in the grass and imagining every jet flying overhead was you. The flight pattern was such that a turn was generally made just over the house, and I naturally assumed that was you waving your wings at me from above. (Facts like you sitting in the living room watching a Cowboys game at the time didn’t matter. EVERY plane was you!) Your continued dedication to all things military during your 35 year career after the Air Force didn’t go unnoticed either. Thank you.

Tater – Army may have been kind of an “escape plan” at the time you enlisted, but your service made you the man you are today. Without the  disciplined lifestyle and the structure of military life, I think we can all agree you’d be a wandering idiot! You voluntarily entered the military at a time when our President was bombing anybody capable of deflecting attention from the fact he was diddling fat-chicks. You spent time away from your family, your freedoms, and your security so that we could enjoy all three. Thank you.

Ted & Karen –  You are two of the greatest people I know and your children are going to have a drive for success that only the military could have instilled in your family. Your love of Philadelphia sports is the reason you get no pictures next to your acknowledgement! Bad Flucks! Thank you.

Bill – Your time in Somalia and the personal stories you have shared with me about the experience have served as more inspiration than you will ever know. Thank you.

Barry – Six years as a POW and you are one of the best patriots I know. While I may not always agree with your fashion choices, your status as a hero was solidified long ago. Thank you. 

Chad – Your self-discipline and commitment to values (minus the Chinook-ing) came at a time in my life when such things would have otherwise been easily abandoned. Your military service formed you. The fact you came out of the Army with as many of your values intact as you did is more impressive to me than anything else you will ever do. Thank you.

These are just a few of the people from my life deserving of thanks on this special day. There are many, many more, but these are the ones I think of most often when I try to teach my son a lesson of courage, or when I need a shot of inspiration myself.

To all of the men and women who have ever worn the uniform of our military; to all those who have shed blood, sweat, and friends so that we may sleep comfortably back home; to those who define courage as an intense will to live backed by a readiness to die; and to those of you who will be called “veterans” when your current commitment comes to an end – THANK YOU!!

As always, thanks for playing.
