Well, the election is just around the corner now. And the spin goes on from both sides. Disgusting when you actually know whats going on. Whatever happened to just reporting the news? One prime example is Romney's comment about not worrying about the 47% of our population who paid no income tax last year and are receiving some form of government assistance. If you watch the entire video yourself, it's obvious he meant he can't worry about their VOTES, because they're already lost to him. No matter what he says, no matter what programs he proposes, they're not going to vote for him anyway. He goes on to say he has to worry about the 5 to 10% of undecided independents. Of course the liberal socialists in the mainstream media are telling everyone he doesn't care about those people and their situations in life.
On another subject, I'd like to discuss the difference between being compassionate and being realistic for some of my Democratic leaning friends. Yes, it would be real nice if we could give free healthcare to everyone, free college tuition to all who qualify, free food, housing, and cell phones to everyone. Where do I sign up? And we can do that, just like the European countries who are all now on the verge of bankruptcy, at least 3 of which have received international bailouts so far. You see, the problem is we can't afford it. That amount of wealth just isn't there. The government could take 100% of the income of the "rich" and it wouldn't even pay for the healthcare. That's right, 100% of the income of everyone making over 250k / year wouldn't even pay for national healthcare, let alone the rest of it. And do any of you remember what happened to Britain back in the 80's and early 90's when they decided to tax the daylights out of the rich? At rates up to 90% of their income? They left! They just up and left the country, taking their money and tax revenue with them. Our federal Treasury securities have already been downgraded once. Why? Because of the massive amount of debt already accrued from social giveaway programs since Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society".
Ok, I admit there is one way to accomplish free everything for all. When we all work for the government. When the government gives us all, including doctors, a 1 bedroom apartment for their entire extended families. Gives us chits to use at the local grocery store. Sorry about your car and cellphone, you'll have to ride the mass transit and remember how to write letters. They're free, after all. I suggest you do some research on life in the former Soviet Union. That didn't work either.
I repeat it again SOCIALISM / COMMUNISM just does not work in the long term. In general, there is no incentive to work, to innovate, to excel. No, Mitt Romney certainly wasn't the best candidate the Republicans could have chosen. But he's way better than our current course, which is going to collapse the country if continued. Again I remind you though - the President has limited powers, Congress is just as important, if not more so. Please vote wisely.

SPEECHES, SMEECHES
Much of what I mention here will be familiar to my regular readers. It is prompted by an ongoing comment discussion on a Facebook post by one of my younger friends. Speaking of which, makes me realize that almost all of my friends are younger than I am. Not to mention how grey that hair the barber cut off this morning looked. Ah well, hopefully I've learned a few things along the way.
This post may seem a bit scattered because I'm going to address issues brought up in the discussion.
So, I'll talk about the role of labor unions in our history first. Unions were first formed back in the days of the "Robber Barons". The late 1800's and early 1900's, when a few super rich families controlled the majority of manufacturing and banking. These families had incredible wealth, while the people working in their factories couldn't even put shoes on their kids feet working 12 hours a day. Unions were the best thing that had ever happened for the working man, being a large part of what created our comfortable "middle class". HOWEVER, by the 90's, unions had succumbed to greed to the extent that they were putting the companies they worked for out of business. One by one, plants closed because they could not afford the cost of labor. As plants closed, unions collapsed. Now, basically, we are back to the days of the Robber Barons again. The middle class working family has seen it's true wealth decline steadily for the last 25 years or so, particularly the last 5 to 10. The angst against unions today is mostly about the public sector (that's government employee's) unions, who, through their continuing support of Democratic candidates with huge campaign contributions, have managed to put the average taxpayer on the verge of bankruptcy. As usually is the case, the true solution lies in the middle. The unions need to understand that if the company doesn't make a profit, they don't have a job for very long, and if the teachers, department of transportation, etc. public sector unions bankrupt cities and states, they don't have a job either.
And on to the convention speeches. My advice is don't pay much attention to what politicians of either party say, look at their voting records and the results of their programs. They all say what they think people want to hear in order to get elected, then do whatever they want (usually greasing the palms of their donors) once they're in office. That said, let's look at the most basic difference between todays Democratic and Republican parties. The Democratic Party believes the more control government has over society, the better off the people will be. The Republicans believe just the opposite, that the less government intrudes on the everyday life of citizens and businesses the better off people are. Forget the gay marriage flap, the abortion issue, the global warming debate. Why? Because if the country goes bankrupt, none of that stuff is going to matter. And please understand, who is in Congress is every bit as important as who is in the White House. There is only so much a president can do.
The fault for our current financial predicament (16 TRILLION dollars in debt) is shared by both parties. HOWEVER, our current president has increased the debt at 3 times the rate of any previous president in our history. Why? To continue to buy votes from those benefiting from receiving government checks in the mail. The Democrats have said for years that we need to be more like Europe. Well, look at Europe today. Hello kids, socialism DOES NOT WORK LONGTERM. Almost every European country has followed the path the we have been on for the last 25 years, and look where it has gotten them. ALL on the verge of bankruptcy. Sure, a lot of you have probably heard about Greece and the international bailouts to keep them from collapsing, but did you also know Spain, Italy, Ireland, and now even Germany, are also on the brink of collapse? Why? Because they have all created two generations of people who think it is the government's job to feed, clothe, house, educate, and provide free medical care for everyone. Folks, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR VERY LONG. The greater the percentage of population taking government handouts instead of working, the fewer workers there are to create the wealth to provide those services. As taxes rise, and inflation rises because the government keeps printing more dollars (with nothing backing them) to pay that debt, the true income of the working family shrinks. When the government keeps borrowing to keep providing those services, eventually no banks or countries will lend them more when it becomes evident they no longer have the means to repay that debt.
Yes, Romney and the rest of the old school Republican bigwigs have their faults, but at least they are (or SAY they are) willing to do what it is going to take to keep our country from going bankrupt.
Oh, and since most of you in the discussion are involved in racing one way or another, think about this : Remember the CPSC ban on sales of bikes and atv's 90cc and under? Keep voting Democrat's in and we'll all be riding electric bikes.
God bless you all,

A LESSON ON HOW TO MANIPULATE THE NEWS
Remember I say "Question everything, believe nothing until proven"? I just spent over an hour trying to find actual facts about the reported Chick-Fil-A discrimination lawsuits. I'm sure someone who really knows how to use the search engines, or someone with access to law databases, would do a better job, but all I came up with were reports of the suits being filed, and every single one from a pro gay publication or writer of one kind or another.
Without knowing the outcomes of the suits, here's what I did learn.
1. Chick-Fil-A is at least partially a franchise operation. I don't know how many total stores they have but I do know 220 are franchisee owned / operated. The franchisor can only directly control certain things. They are not involved in the day to day operations of the stores.
2. One report mentioned a dozen lawsuits over the years. I challenge you to find any other similar sized corporation that has been sued by employees less. Remember, suing is viewed as a way to get rich by half the people today?
2. Nowhere in the reports did anyone mention if the locations the employees worked at were company stores or franchised stores. From comments by several of the litigates it would appear that at least 2 of them were franchise operations.
I did learn that they investigate the lifestyles (now known as vetting) of their potential franchisees to insure that they conform to the values the chain believes in. I ask you this : if you had a billion dollar a year operation, run according to the values you cherish, wouldn't you make sure that the people you partner with share those same values? Believe me, I saw this firsthand with Harley. Any dealer who was arrested for drugs or other felonies had his franchise terminated. Think Chick-Fil-A wants to see a story in the news about after hours orgies at one of their stores?
This mirrors the Trayvon Martin case, remember I said wait till all the facts come out? Once again we see how the news can be manipulated to favor either side of an issue. I doubt I will change anyone's opinion about Chick-Fil-A. What I would like to accomplish is :
1. To get people to think before believing every thing they read and hear.
2. To understand Chick-Fil-A has a right to run their business according to their standards as long as they don't break any laws doing it.
If you don't like what they stand for, don't eat there, but why try and put the whole company out of business? Wasn't it the liberals and especially the gay liberals who espoused "tolerance, tolerance, tolerance"? Oh, I see that's only tolerance for THEIR lifestyle.

CHICK-FIL-A : MY TWO CENTS
Hello friends, it's been quite a while. Hope you missed me :-) Finally got some time to put the brain in gear. I have to weigh in on the whole Chick-Fil-A fiasco, because it is so indicative of where our society is today. This will be a rehash for some of you I've been having ongoing discussions with, but hopefully, I'll add enough new things to keep your attention from wandering.
Why is this situation such a bellwether of the USA today? First and foremost, it is a continuation of the attacks on ANYTHING having to do with God. There have always been atheists, but until the last 25 or 30 years they never bothered anyone. They just didn't believe in a creator. No problem. But now it's a totally different story. They're not content to just not believe, they want to remove every single mention of God or Christianity from the entire country. The ACLU foams at the mouth every time someone finds a statue in the middle of the desert that honors God. A statue you had to drive 50 miles on a dirt road to see.
Chick-Fil-A is a perfect example. These people went about running their business according to their beliefs for 60 plus years, not bothering anyone except those who would have liked their chicken on a Sunday. They don't have "honk if you love Jesus" or "repent or go to hell" signs at their stores, make prospective employees state that they are Christians, or refuse to serve you if you have a "I worship Satan" tattoo on your forehead. Indeed, they've never made a big deal out of the fact that they are a Christian owned and run business. It only became a big deal when militant gay/lesbian/transgender groups noticed them. Then the liberal mainstream media reporters went on the attack. All they have ever done is respond to reporters questions about their beliefs honestly. Yes, they donate money to Christian groups that, among other things, oppose gay marriage. So don't gays/lesbians donate to groups that promote their agenda?
Just as they have every right to run their business as they wish, so do you have the right not to patronize their establishments. But quit attacking them for conducting their lives and business according to their principles. They never bothered you, so what's YOUR problem?
Answer me this : why haven't there been any outcries about Muslim owned businesses? A religion who imposes the death penalty for homosexuality. A religion who puts women back in the middle ages? A religion who beheads you if you don't believe in their version of God and bow to Mecca five times a day????? Oh, stupid me, I already know that answer. It's not politically correct.
Quite frankly, I could care less what anyone does in their bedroom. But I surely don't want to see two men in uniform kissing. Or on the street either, for that matter. You don't have to throw it in everyone's face because you are gay.
Here's the bottom line : whether you believe in God or not, most religions espouse behavior that is advantageous to societies, i.e. killing is wrong, stealing is wrong, treat others as you would like to be treated, etc. I invite you to look back at what living was like in this country 30, 40, 50 years ago when the majority of the population went to church Sunday mornings. No one ever locked their houses, let alone their cars. People didn't regularly try and run you off the road if you happened to be driving a bit slower than they wanted to go. Mass murderers were extremely few and far between. There was courtesy and respect amongst the majority of people.
Are we better off today?

WHAT DOES the DHS NEED with 450 Million ROUNDS OF HOLLOW POINT AMMO?
Could someone please tell me just what the Dept. of Homeland Security needs 450 million rounds of hollow point ammo for????? Considering that practice firing is normally done with far less expensive full metal jacket rounds? Considering that's more than one round for every man, woman, and child in this country? Considering that's probably 1,000 or more clips per armed DHS agent? Can you answer that for me?
Remember Obama's proposed National Police Force? Do you know about the recently signed National Defense Authorization Act that makes it supposedly legal for the American military to detain American citizens, on American soil, indefinitely, just on suspicion of terrorist activities? Remember Janet Napolitano's letter to law enforcement agencies across the country naming "disaffected veterans" as potential terrorists? Are you aware of the new law just signed by Obama last week that makes it illegal to protest anywhere near where the Secret Service is providing protection to anyone? Outlawing YOUR Constitutional First Amendment right to address YOUR politicians? Of course the whack job Kansas so called "church" is still allowed to protest at the funerals of our soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for our "freedom"?????
Folks, I know you are probably tired of hearing it, but this guy is laying the groundwork to "fundamentally change America" into a socialist dictatorship one slice at a time. Four more years of his changes and you won't recognize the country you grew up in. If he has his way, in four more years you can forget about voting. Oh, you'll be able to vote, but it won't matter one bit.That's already in the pipeline : a contract has just been let for a foreign data company to count votes in American elections. Of course this company is owned by Obama's largest backer, George Soros.
So once again I challenge you : be part of the solution, because if you do nothing, you are part of the problem. That means not only planning on voting yourself, but educating everyone you know ESPECIALLY LIBERALS who don't have a clue to what's really happening. A caveat : Have your facts and ducks in a row before you attempt to change a liberal's mind. So many are truly unaware of much happening outside of their own immediate lives. They vote Democrat or Republican because their families have always done so, or because they've been brainwashed by our teachers and professors. It can be a long and difficult journey to change a liberals mind, I've often said you can shove evidence down their throats till it comes out the soles of their feet and they still will refuse to believe the truth. I have had instances where someone has eventually agreed with me on every point, but at the end says "I don't care I still think ......"(substitute whatever the subject is) Then ask them (GENTLY, not confrontationally) "what is more important to the world, what you think or feel, or the TRUTH?"The idea is not to pi** them off, but to get them to analyze the facts from a different perspective and come to the proper conclusions.
So, get to work people, we can change things, one mind at a time.
Good luck and God bless,

MILITARY INSANITY
See the quote at the top of this blog home page. Now you can add our military to our government. If this doesn't make you angry enough to spit nails, you're probably in the 50% of our population legally medicated into zombieland. The political correctness bullsh** has gotten so bad in our military that not only do we allow a Muslim doctor with known jihadist sympathies to remain in the Army until he massacres soldiers at Fort Hood, allow open homosexuality, (have you seen the pic of two Marines in uniform kissing upon the return of one from Afghanistan? - one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen) but now WE PROSECUTE OUR SOLDIERS FOR DEFENDING THEIR OWN LIVES FROM TERRORISTS!
Yes, you read that right. Not only prosecute them, but deny them due process of law, hiding exculpatory evidence from the court and refusing to share that evidence with the defense. 1st Lt. Michael Behenna has already spent 3 years in Ft. Leavenworth for shooting a terrorist who was trying to grab his sidearm. His case has finally made it to military's equivalent of the Supreme Court. You have to read this story :
http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/army-ranger-seeking-vindication-for-killing-terrorist/
This is certainly not the first case of this kind. I won't rehash details here, you can easily find these stories with a Google or Yahoo search, but remember the prosecution of the Seals who captured the terrorist responsible for the beheading and hanging of American soldiers bodies in public in Iraq because the guy had a bruise on his face? How about the way they cashiered Lt. Col. Allen West out of the Army because he fired a round past the head of an uncooperative insurgent group leader they were questioning?
How did these morons who would pervert any sense of justice for a soldier defending his life just so they can win their case, become Army lawyers? Why is it that for the majority of individuals today, the more formal education they have the less common sense they have?
Are we still able to save this country?

TRAYVON MARTIN : FINALLY THE TRUTH STARTS TO COME OUT
Once again the liberal news media has convicted someone, not only without a trial, but without even investigating the story. In private conversations in the first day or two after the news hit, I cautioned people to withhold opinion until the whole story came out. Yes, as first reported, Zimmerman appears to be a complete a**hole who should be behind bars. What gave me pause (besides plenty of previous experience with media distortion of news, starting with Vietnam) was that he wasn't immediately arrested.
So now the whole story starts to come out. Zimmerman did get out of his vehicle and confront Martin, asking him what he was doing there. Apparently Martin took offense to being asked (and I understand that, I'd be pi**ed too at being accused of being up to no good just because I happened to be black in a white neighborhood). Whatever words were exchanged, the truth, verified by an eyewitness, a second 911 call, and a bleeding Zimmerman, is that after Zimmerman turned and started back to his car, Martin attacked him from behind, and had him on the ground beating the he** out of him.
As I said in the last post : question everything, believe nothing until proven. Especially from our so called "news" outlets.

So now the whole story starts to come out. Zimmerman did get out of his vehicle and confront Martin, asking him what he was doing there.
