$3.79 a gallon .....

You remember Senator Obama claiming that gas prices would never go above $3 a gallon if he was elected?  Yeah, what a crock of shit.  My wife and I have downgraded from grocery shopping at Walmart to grocery shopping at Dollar General because fuel prices are fucking killing us.  Instead of getting real Pepsi to drink with my dinner, I get a cheap knock off that tastes like flat cola mixed with carpet fresh.    My wife doesn't get to buy real Dove soap to bathe with.  Instead she settles for this cheap shit that makes her skin dry out.  But she can live with that because she can always buy moisturizing cream ...... but not name brand lotion .... we can't afford that, so we buy the generic which makes her go into sneezing fits.  But she can even live with that because a dose of benedryl knocks out the allergy like effects of the other shit.  But we can't afford real benedryl, so she buys generic "allergy relief tabs" which kill the effects of the other shit, but they make her dry at the mouth and sick to her stomach.  But that's OK because some Pepto takes care of the sour stomach and some bottled water the dry mouth feeling.  Except we can't afford real Pepto, so she gets this shit that looks like pink baby shit in a plastic bottle that makes her run to the bathroom every 3 minutes for 72 hours.  And water .... we can't afford good stuff like Avian or anything .... so we buy the cheap shit that is cloudy as a 7 day old glass of piss and smells about the same.

My point is that when gas prices are high, the consumer suffers.  When the consumer suffers, the economy suffers.  Bad news all around.  Anyone in elected office should be primarily focused on lowering gas prices.  When that happens, the economy will begin to bounce back ......... except our economy which is hampered with a million stupid fucking regulations and un-fair taxes that cripple any business.

Sorry for the lack of posting, but have been preoccupied with life for a few weeks, but between Free Damn Birth Control, and drone surveillance approval (which both had me just stunned, thank God the Catholics threw such a fit), but the following has ruffled me enough to come out of my life for a few. We all need to be vigilant or our country may not even be able to be saved in November.


OMFG. Can no one see the disgrace of our highest office. Every time "The Chosen One" runs into hurdles or knows he can't get something done within the laws of our country, he runs to some type of international agreement. In case you hadn't seen yet, he is trying to back door complete gun control in the US without even addressing Congress.  http://www.citizens4freedom.com/Articles/Articles/tabid/1387/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4161/categoryId/106/VERY-SERIOUS-WARNINGOBAMA-FINDS-LEGAL-WAY-AROUND-THE-2ND-AMENDMENT-AND-USES-IT.aspx . Copy and past the link to read it, and family keeps telling me they can't wait to say I told you so when Obama wins again or better yet the Reps win and it gets worse. HOW. I can't imagine worse than what we have. That being said our Rep options may only be bandages to the problem, but at least an attempt to heal the wounds instead of opening a new vein ever damn week.


In addition to this, I love the media trying to console us with how our gas prices aren't so bad compared to Europe and some other socialist places. For GOD SAKES I hope it's cheaper here. We may have a lot of entitlements, and growing by the day under Obummer, but they have been doing it all much longer and have long since past destroyed the value of the currency. Even at it's weak state at the moment the American Dollar is still stronger than most and that is why we don't see $10 a gallon, and we damn well shouldn't. 

Sunday Evening Rant ...

There are three topics that are pissing me off today and I'd like to discuss them.


First, this whole Keystone pipeline deal.  This is a deal that would bring jobs, revenue and oil independence to our country .......... and our great leader rejected it.  Now, it appears as though China is going to try to partner with Canada on this deal.  Exactly what we need, our biggest competitor profiting from a deal we should have closed on.  All because the tree huggers think a few pines might get damaged or maybe some squirrels will have to relocate.  You know what?  I think if you consider the state of the economy, the high level of unemployment and rising fuel costs ............ I don't think the average American gives a fuck about trees or squirrels. However, even though Obama did reject this deal, It is my understanding that the House Republicans are going to get it passed by attaching it to the new Highway Bill.  Let's hope they succeed.


Second, I'd like to talk about the "Occupy" movement going on across the country.  I waited a really longtime to say anything about these protests because, quite frankly, I had no fucking idea what they were protesting.  And I really took a lot of time to watch news coverage and read articles about them and really tried to understand what it was they were trying to protest.  As I researched, I realized that every protester that was interviewed gave a different reason for being involved in the movement.  First it was "evil wall street", then it was the Federal Reserve, corrupt politicians, lobbyists, reform the tax code, high unemployment, the military conflicts in the middle east, environmental issues, same sex marriages and it kept going on to a whole host of other issues.  Then it finally hit me .......... instead of paying attention to what the people were or were not protesting ...... I should have stepped back and looked at the people themselves.  When you see a news segment talking about this topic they always interview the protesters and 99.99% of the time it's some early 20's campus douche.  Kids who have went from living under the protection of mommy & daddy's house to college and in that transition think they have figured out all of the world's problems and how to fix them.  I'm not knocking young people.  I was 20 and in college at one time with a lot of ideas on how I thought the world should be.  After about a decade I figured out that things that sound good in theory often times do not work out in reality.  These protesters should wake up and realize that.  If they still feel the same way by the time they hit 30, then they can go back to protesting.


The last thing I want to bitch about is this proposed New Jersey law to outlaw all handgun ammunition and some rifle ammunition.  Anyone who knows me knows that I am a total gun nut.  I love guns, the 2nd amendment and am a very outspoken advocate of concealed carry.  This proposed law makes me want to puke.  This is a law that will essentially make it possible for the anti-gun pussies to side step the Bill of Rights and disarm the American people.  What is the point of owning a gun if you have no ammunition to fire it?  It's kind of like saying you can own a car, but we're going to outlaw gasoline so you can't drive it.  Taking away a citizens ability to defend themselves does not make the country safer.  Criminals will still find ways to inflict harm on the innocent and by passing this law the government is just making it a lot tougher for an honest citizen to protect themselves and their household.  Who ever introduced this bill or supports this bill needs to be voted from office as soon as humanly possible.  When the government tries to disarm the people, that's when the people need to be afraid of the government.

What Party Do I Belong To?

Many people have asked me what political party I support.  Well, that is a tough question because on some issues I tend to lean towards the liberal side and others I tend to lean towards the conservative side.  So, I will let you be the judge of what party I should belong to.  The following are my views on  hot topics in today's society.

1.  The Death Penalty - I'm all for it.  In fact, I also believe that this life without the possibility of parole should be done away with and converted to the death penalty.  If you did something bad enough to spend the rest of your days in prison, you deserve to get whacked.

2.  Same Sex Marriage - I could care less.  If two gay dudes get married it doesn't mean my wife and I are any less married.

3.  Guns - The 2nd amendment says it all.  I absolutely loath anti-gun pussies who are always spouting off this "guns kill people" bullshit.  Guns are inanimate objects as are the bullets you put in them.  Left alone they do nothing.  It is the person who picks the gun up, loads it and fires it that is to hold the responsibility.  We do not need to outlaw firearms.  We need to get rid of dumb asses and bottom feeders.  For every tear-jerking story you show me about some innocent person being shot and killed, I can show you another where a law abiding citizen used a gun to protect themselves or another innocent person.  If you are anti-gun, you merely lack the backbone to protect your household and loved ones at any cost.

4.  Legalizing Drugs - I have mixed feelings on this.  Harsher drugs like crack, meth, heroine and so on should stay illegal in my opinion.  Marijuana on the other hand, It isn't any worse than drinking alcohol and I have never heard of anyone over dosing on weed.  Legalize it, control it and tax it like alcohol.

5.  Abortion - I am not a big fan of abortion unless there are some extraordinary medical circumstances involved.  However, I also believe very deeply in minding your own fucking business.  If aborting a fetus is murder and is truly a sin, then you will have to answer to god for that, not me or anyone else.

6.  Welfare - I have a real problem with the current welfare system as well as the "entitlement" mind set it has cultivated in our society.  Too many people actually feel as if they deserve to be taken care of by society with out contributing anything to society.  Furthermore, the government is taking my money and giving it to people I don't know.  Now, if it's a single parent who got laid off and is in real bad need of help .... that's fine.  I got no problem helping out someone like that.  But, if it's some lazy fuck who wouldn't get a job if there were plenty for everyone or some lazy bitch who gets knocked up all the time and pops out a new unit just so she don't have to work ..... fuck them.  Kick their asses out on the street and let them starve.  I used to deliver pizzas for a living.  We had several public housing projects in our delivery area.  Many times I would deliver to apartments there and the tenants would bitch about not having enough money and wishing they could find a job.  I would tell them that our pizza shop was hiring just to see what kind of response I would get back.  Nine times out of ten the response would be something like "Oh hell no.  I'm not working some bullshit pizza job."  This always pissed me off because basically what they were saying was that they had no problem living off of my tax money that I busted my ass to earn, but me and my job were beneath them.  Fuck these people.  They need to be kicked to the curb to fend for themselves.

7.  Prostitution - This is a subject that never made any sense to me.  Providing you are 18 or older and anyone else involved is also 18 or older, you can give sex away for free anytime you want.  Also, providing that you are 18 or older, you can be paid to perform in adult movies.  So why the hell is prostitution illegal?  Use the Nevada system as a model and legalize it everywhere.

8.  21 For Everyone - I realize the drinking age is at 21 because the government wants to keep alcohol away from high school students and at 18 many are still in school.  However, I believe that, at the age of 18, if you are mature enough to vote and elect our public officials and you are mature enough to join the armed forces where you have the possibility of taking a human life or being killed yourself ...... you are mature enough to drink a beer.

9.  Illegal immigrants - I don't care how old they are, where they come from, how long they've been here, how many children they gave birth to here ........ send them back to where they came from.  We have a struggling economy and a lot of other problems with our own people.  We do not need millions of illegals flooding the country to add to any already out of hand problems.  Secure our borders 100% with fences, troops and any support the troops need.

10.  Policing The World - Stop doing it.  I agree with Ron Paul on this one.  Pull our people back home.  Close down our overseas military basis and consulates.  We have problems here at home that need addressed and need everyone back here to get them fixed.  As far as the rest of the world goes, we cannot play "big brother" to everyone.  They're just going to have to stand up and take care of their own business.

11.  Socialized Medicine - Horrible idea.  This is a capitalist society.  If you want socialized programs where the government tries to take care of everyone, then move to Europe.  Enjoy the financial collapse and the hyper inflation.

12.  Social Security - It should be there when you need it and it should not take forever to get it.  Social Security is not a welfare program.  It is a program where you pay in while you work and then when you retire or get sick and have to stop working, the government pays you your money back.  Individuals who are not legal citizens or have never worked to pay into the system should not ever get a penny from it or any of it's affiliate programs.

13.  SSI compensation - SSI is often confused with Social Security Retirement benefits or Social Security Disability benefits.  This is not correct.  SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income and is intended for aged or medically impaired people who have little to no income.  Like the reality of it or not, it is another welfare program.  It is a program I have mixed feelings about.  On one hand I believe elderly people or those who have honest medical problems and cannot work need some help because being old or disabled does not make you any less of a person.  However, like many other government programs, SSI has became too watered down and too exploited over the years.  It has went from providing help to people with problems like being in a wheel chair, having epilepsy, having a serious heart condition, being mentally retarded  and so on to providing help to people who have bad teeth, can't read, claim to be bi-polar and a lot of other nonsense.  And that is no exaggeration either.  My wife used to live next to a guy who got SSI because he couldn't read.  My school of thought on that is .................. you don't need teeth to work, hooked on phonics is cheaper than handing out a $600 a month free check and bi-polar is bullshit.  Everyone, to some degree, is bi-polar.  You feel great one day and maybe the next day you're in a pissy mood and feel like kicking someone.  Stop using it as an excuse and get a fucking job.  The SSI program needs to be audited and greatly over hauled.

14.  Labor Unions - I'm sure my opinion on this subject will piss of a lot of people.  Labor unions were formed decades ago when workers were forced to work extremely long hours for very low pay in facilities that were unsafe at best.  In today's society, we have agencies on federal, state and local levels that ensure work place safety along with fair work hours and minimum wage standards.  Labor unions are no longer needed.  All they do in the world today is drive up the prices of goods and services to consumers.  I have experience working with unions in the construction industry and can tell you with a clear conscience that when you compare a union crew to a non-union crew ......... the non-union crew will finish the job quicker, at a lower cost and with a better quality of work.

Passing Along Information ...

Just to let our readers know, we will be posting as often as life lets us.  We will try to keep topics relevant to current political events.


Our blog is less than a week old and already started to gather readers.  I would like to address some comments I have gotten involving our blog.


1.  Reading this blog, or anything else for that matter, is kind of like surfing channels on television.  If you don't like what you see, then change the channel.  So, if you don't like what we write here STOP READING IT!


2.  I have received a couple of off handed comments that basically say if I don't like the current political climate in this country, then why don't you do something about it?  Well,  I am doing something about it.  First, I exercise my 1st amendment rights here and secondly, I have voted in every election since I was 18 years old.


With that said, my partner and I welcome readers and are interested in hearing your feedback as long as it is relevant and delivered in an adult manner.  Comments like "You said something bad about Obama so fuck you ...you fucking republican nazi fuck"  will not be tolerated.

As for the presidents speech, I was unable to watch it, but read through it. My partner pretty well summed it up. Just to add, a few weeks ago, the "GREAT ONE" removed a large number of "boots" on the ground. I am not saying, "LET'S BUILD A WALL". Ask China or Russia how that worked. We need to post more troops there. Take them out of Podunk wherever they are not needed and let them patrol our borders in 3 months shifts to keep from corruption settling in. Also, be like other countries, if you are seen, there will be a warning shot, then we actually shoot at you and kill you. That will reduce the number of freeloaders coming over our borders. We have enough of our own freeloaders right here on government assistance that were born here. Simple plans with domino effects. Lock down the borders and remove illegals. Make the US corporations earn their tax breaks (I have no issue with them receiving them if they have done something to deserve them). If 86% of you employees are within the US borders you get a break. If 60% are full time, 30% part time and 10% or less temp, you get another break. If you use/buy, US services, products, supplies and/or materials another break. If you are manufacturing even bigger breaks if all the preceding are met. Now take any able bodied government assistance recipient and give them jobs at all the places the illegal immigrants were working before we deported their ass and if they get fired or quit no more free lunch. Add in removal of all Federal Vice laws (drugs and prostitution), control them and tax the hell out of them. All the above will increase jobs, lower government. spending due to reduced numbers of people on assistance, increased government. income as more people working equals more taxes, lower crime rates (esp. violent crimes that are mostly due to Drug and Prostitution laws), lower new aids cases (prostitution controlled = tested), and less people in jail being cared for by government ran money. Just some ideas to help fix this country. Over 33% of our prisoners are illegal aliens, if it wasn't violent, send them home.

Bullshit Of The Union Campaign Opportunity ...

I'm not going to go into a long winded rant here.  Short and sweet is all the occasion calls for.

Obama spouted off the same bullshit he has been since he was campaigning for president.  He took a brief moment at the beginning to score some public brownie points for Bin Laden's death and then it was back to the same old shit.  More of his "fair share" what not followed by a lot of contradictions.  One minute he'd talk about eliminating some taxes and loop holes and then he would talk about raising taxes in other areas.  Then he made a comment that made me laugh so hard I damn near pissed myself. He said he had enacted fewer regulations than his predecessor.  Then he went on to say he had eliminated over 500 useless regulations.  This is such a fucking lie.  It is well documented that he has signed more regulations than any president in recent history.  After making such a total bullshit statement, he then went on to propose more regulations.  Obama continued with talking about eliminating government waste by getting rid of things he deemed unnecessary.  He followed that up by proposing even more government positions to regulate more shit.

All in all, it was his same old song and dance.  Occasionally he threw in something he felt the republicans would like so they might think he was less of a douche.  My favorite was when he stated that he had put more boots on the ground than ever before in order to secure our southern border.  After he made that statement, the television camera panned over to John MCCain and he was laughing his ass off.

Here is the reality of it all .....

The only thing Barack Obama knows how to do is give speeches.  That's it.  He is an inexperienced, ineffective leader.  His ideals might be great in a perfect world, but in reality they fail miserably.  I agree that he was handed a bad situation when he took office, but it's been 3 years.  He has absolutely no room to continue blaming everything on Bush.  In fact, the national debt has went up 43% since HE took office.

He will go down in history as the "Great Food Stamp President"

It's Always The Money ...

Before I get into the heart of my discussion, let me say up front that I'm neither defending or endorsing Newt Gingrich.  I'm not even sure I'd vote for the guy.

With that said, I'm getting really tired of listening to all the harsh criticism thrown his way about earning $1.6 million for consulting work done at Freddie Mac.  Look ....... they hired the guy to do some consulting work, he did the work and they paid him.  That's the name of the business game.  You do work, you get paid.  It's not the fact that he got money, it's the fact that he got a lot of money that is the real issue.  Somewhere along the way, we have lost sight of the fact that this capitalist economy was set up so that you could make a shit ton of money if you put some effort into it.  I have no idea why, but there seems to be a real stigma against people who are financially successful in this country.  The nation's average yearly salary is about $50,000.  There seems to be this negative attitude towards anyone who makes more than that.  They are almost automatically branded a bad person like they must have done something illegal to get that much money.  Here is a perfect example, my brother makes way more than $50k a year.  You know what he does?  He's an applications programmer.  Nothing more.  He's a law abiding citizen who has a lot of talent in an area of expertise and puts said talent to work and in return makes good money off of it.

I have no idea when it became a bad thing to be successful in a country that was set up to provide an environment where ANYONE could become successful if they put the effort into it.

Just so everyone knows, this blog site for some reason will not allow active links to be posted, so you will need to copy paste them to the address bar. Sorry for any inconvenience.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-orders-catholics-act-against-their-faith-bishops-call-it-unconscionable This wonderful piece of crap is a great starting point. Now the almighty government has decided to FORCE employers to not only offer coverage for, but at no cost to the insured, birth control, sterilization and abortifacients (morning after pill). Let alone any "moral" disagreement one could have with this either religiously or otherwise, this is a clear case of the government interfering with the will of the employer. Next they will force abortions being covered at no cost. The employer has every right to or not to cover an elective procedure or medication and birth control/sterilization/morning after pill are exactly that, elective. Though it would still be governmental interference to force no cost coverage of lets say blood pressure pills or insulin, it at least would be something that would potentially benefit everyone and would be covering something that is a necessity to survival. I recently had this argument with someone who's entire argument was that these elective items (BC/Steril/MA pill) are necessities. I can not see where any of these are necessities. If you don't want children, one chooses to use the pill or become sterilized, and being that it is their choice, they should be responsible for the payment, no different than if they wanted Viagra or some other medication that does not treat an "illness". As an employer, I should not be FORCED to cover, let alone pay for, a procedure that is against their beliefs, or even simply doesn't want to offer coverage for. Plastic surgery is generally not covered by any employer as it is elective. The government has not only started down a slippery slope of totalitarianism, they took a running start and jump on the path. In contrast to this, the state of Ohio has begun work on some legislation to define "personhood" in order to make abortion illegal. http://www.personhoodohio.com/ph/ This legislation also opens the door to allowing contraception alternatives to be made illegal. NONE of the idiots seem to realize that the constitution disallows this kind of Big Brother control. Soon I will begin my complaints about our economy and other topics to see if there are others out there that hold similar beliefs. I am all for open discussion btw, but honestly if you responses are simply "YOU'RE WRONG" arguments you will be ignored and deleted. I have no problem with someone voicing their opinion and their reasons for those opinions, but keep in mind we are all entitled to opinions and perhaps you will make a case that could either sway ours, support our, or modify ours. 

Hello Everyone ...

My partner introduced himself in the post below and kind of gave an idea of his school of thought, so let me take the time to do the same.

I have many problems with our current group of elected officials.  I will be venting my anger on these issues in articles to come.  I agree with my partner in that we have greatly strayed from the constitution and we need a radical change to get back on the right path.

I will warn you in advance that I'm quite a blunt individual and I use a lot of colorful language to get my point across.  If you are easily offended ....... DO NOT READ THIS BLOG!

Hello all. To start, I believe my screen name kinda covers it all. It seems as though today all politicians are interested in representing are their own personal interests and not their constituents. Some of these intellectual voids are trying to do things that they believe are in our best interests (or so they say) that no one I know wants. Be it ideological or theological, most of these over glorified political morons seem to be forgetting the Constitution both on Federal and State levels. I will add more when I have time on a few issues currently making my anus pucker and my mind go numb.
