Swine Flu Thoughts

This Flu originated in Mexico right?

Every Flu I can remember since I have been old enough to pay attention originated somewhere in Asia.

So, #1 it is strange that this Flu originated in Mexico. Makes one thing that this was not just a naturally occuring illness.

#2 - Some believe that the "Elite" (Obama's real Bosses, the Tri-lateral Commission and Bildeberg Group) are working towards a New World Order. They want a one world government and will stop at nothing to gain it.

One step needed to move towards this goal is an "American Union". Similar to the EU.

You wonder why we aren't closing our borders? Because that wouldn't help us towards a "Unified" North American Continent.


If Swine Flu continues to spread in Mexico, we will see the Mexican Economy (which is already on thin ice) collapse. (One step closer to the American Union and NWO)

We will then see an even greater mass exodus from Mexico to the U.S. which will put an even greater strain on our economy (which is also on thin ice) and could eventually lead to its collapse. (Another step closer).

Instead of viewing the Spectrum as this:

Left Wing <---------------------------------------------------->Right Wing

View it as this:

"Normal People"<---------"truth"--------->Conspiracy Theorists.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle between "us" (Normal people) and the Conspiracy Theorists. Whether it's closer to "Normal" or "Conspiracy" I don't know.

Is it totally absurd that this Flu outbreak could have been man-made? I don't think so.

If it wasn't man made, is it totally absurd to think that the response is completely political in nature and that the details about how bad it really is (or isn't), are being covered up? I REALLY don't think so.

We aren't being told the whole truth about something.

It's either a lot more threatening or a lot less threatening that we are being told.

Wonder which it is.

Obama and the Socialists....pay attention people.

Today I read that the Obama Administration is going to introduce legislation to REGULATE the pay of Corporate CEO's.

Not only in the banks and other institutions which have received Federal Bail out money, but that it may also apply to publicly owned companies who have done the responsible thing and have run their businesses in an honest manner.

Now, being that I work for a Publicly held Company I have some feelings about this.


It isn't the business of the Federal Government to regulate how much the CEO of my Company makes! It is the business of the Board of Directors and shareholders and no one else.

Now, I am not saying that I think that CEO's should make unlimited amounts of money, irregardless of the financial performance of the company they in charge of. I believe that CEO pay should be tied more closely to company performance. It's okay to get a big bonus if your Company fulfills its obligation to the shareholders.

All I am saying is that it isn't the business of the Federal Government to determine the amount of pay my CEO receives for doing his job.

Let honest companies prosper and let dis-honest or ill-led companies FAIL!

Folks, we are witnessing history. Right now. We are seeing things that I never dreamed I would see. Government take over of banks, the FED printing money like it's going out of style, the Executive Branch of my Country spending over a Trillion dollars in 50 DAYS! (And still taking more of OUR money!)

The expansion of Government that we are seeing right now is not only incredible, but it is also nothing more than the push towards Socialism the Democratic Party Desires.


Honestly, I think all of our lawmakers want the push towards Socialism.

Envision Wrestle Mania. Remember watching that when you were a kid (or maybe you still do watch it).

Well, when those guys are on TV it's "Man....you're scum! I'm going to kick your ASS!"

But after the show, they are all buddies that go out for dinner and a drink. It's just show business.


Well people, our Government is the same thing. The Dems and Republicans are playing us.

They are putting up a Smoke and Mirrors show to distract us from what they are really doing.


Are you paying attention? You need to be.

We can't trust many of our "Elected" Officials. If any.



I am probably wrong.
You decide.

Alright, so it's been a while.....

Okay, so it's been a while. I guess nothing has been on my mind.


But recent events have me fired up again so here we go!


What the hell is wrong with our Country?


We have a Socialist in the White House. We have Hugo Chavez "Calling on Obama" to join the new '21st Century Socialist Revolution' http://www.drudgereport.com/flashco.htm and we're still seeing approval numbers above.....oh....I don't know.....3%?


People, seriously, we are in a world of hurt. Our Country has lost its way. We're on a path to economic destruction that is going to take decades to fix.


Obama wants you to be pissed off at "W" because of the "Trillion Dollar deficit we (the Dems) inherited".


Are you paying attention people? Okay, I will give Obama the fact that he inherited a trillion dollar deficit. But let's put some things in to perspective here:

1) The inherited deficit took 8 years and two wars to come to fruition.

2) President Obama-mudder-sucka took LESS THAN 90 days to spend another TRILLION dollars on a 'stimulus' package that the only thing it's going to stimulate is that "warm fuzzy feeling" that is creeping up Chris Matthews leg!

3) Is anyone paying attention to the new $600B spending bill that is going to be voted on on Monday?


It's time for a revolution folks. It's time for more Tea Parties. It's time to take our Country back.

Write your Congressman or woman. Tell them how sick you are of the job they are doing. Tell them you intend to vote against any one of them that votes for any more Obamanomics spending bills.

Tell them that we are NOT SOCIALISTS!

COME ON PEOPLE! We need to wake up.


You all need to be stocking up on rice and beans.......and beans and rice.


A little bit of ammo won't hurt either. Like maybe.....10,000 rounds?

I am probably wrong.

You decide.

I guess Iran needs printers too.....

Let me get this straight, HP has been selling printers to Iran (in violation of US trade laws) since approximately 1997 using a distribution company based in Dubai.

No...really...they have been....check it out!

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2008-12-29-hp-iran_N.htm

I am officially boycotting all HP products.

I have an HP printer at home. It's going in the trash this weekend in lieu of the Kodak I am going to buy. (Their ink is cheaper anyhow)

I would suggest and implore each of you to follow suit.


There is no way in hell we should support any company that is violating US law by engaging in trade with country's as dangerours and anti-American as Iran.

Are you kidding me? Iran wants the United States to suffer the same fate they want Israel to suffer. They would just as soon see us "Wiped off the face of the earth".


Boycott HP and anyone else we can find that is engaging in such acts. I am beginning my search today. I will post on this blog each time I find another Company that is doing business with Country's which would love to see us die.

I am probably wrong......you decide.

Time to give thanks.

As I sit on my back porch in sweats and a T-shirt (now I remember why we tolerate the unbearable heat and humidity of SE Texas in the summer) I take pause to remember how great it is to live in a country where we are free to do as we please.

I'm sitting here smoking a turkey. 11 or 12 hours from now, we're going to have some tasty goodness coming off the smoker and we'll have friends and family over for Thanksgiving dinner and it will be a wonderful time.


But I have to remember that there are places in the world, MOST other places as a matter of fact, where people are either not free to do what I am doing, or they don't have the resources to do what I am doing right now.

Cooking a meal for extended family and friends.

A lot of the rest of the world has people just trying to figure out what their next meal will be, or even more important, when their next meal will be.


We live in a country where we the people have the freedoms and ambition to do what is needed to make this Country, this United States of America, the greatest place to live on earth.

We do not live in a 3rd world nation.

The United States of America is not a third world nation.


Unfortunately, a lot of other folks out there in the world, want us to be.


I just hope that our "Leaders" don't mess things up so bad that we become one.


I am thankful today for my family. Their health. Their prosperity. Even those in the family who aren't doing so well, really are still fortunate in that we all have roofs over our heads, and food on the table, whether it be at our own house, or Grandma's house.

Let's just take pause today, for a minute, and remember those less fortunate than we.

Let's take pause today, and for a minute think about the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who are in various hell holes around the world fighting for our right to sit on the back porch and relax while smoking a turkey.

God Bless us all. Especially those less fortunate that I.

Hug your family and tell them you love them!

The Audacity of Faith

I am watching the excellent Investigative Journalism of Al Roker who is doing an expose' on firearms in America and how terrible they are. (Al Roker needs to stick to BBQ)

A commercial comes on. Some mint is selling the "Barack Obama Gold coin".

Freshly minted to commemorate his historic rise to be the 44th President of the United States.

In their commercial, this "mint" says:

"Barack Obama has inspired millions of people and has restored faith that we live in a Great Country"


Excuse me?

I never LOST faith that I live in a great Country! The United States of America is THE GREATEST Country in the world!

Are you serious? Really? Did I just see that on TV?

So let me get this straight: Obama has now formed the "Office of the President Elect" and is giving us weekly addresses. (His approval rating last I heard was over 65% without even doing a thing!) And now he has his own coin to help me remember how he restored my faith in America?


How dare anyone question my faith in The USA?

We aren't even in to the first day of the Obama Presidency and I already want to puke.

You know what?

I challenge anyone who'd like to try to convince me that the United States of America was a bad place until Barack Obama was elected.


I'll whip your ass!

I know I'm not wrong on this one.

You don't need to decide!

When will it end?

When is the pity party going to end?

We have The Big 3 Automakers asking for bail out money.
We have California asking for bail out money.
We have banks asking for bail out money.
We have mortgage companies asking for bail out money.

What about me?

I think I need some bail out money.

You too?

Here's the link so you too, can apply for your piece of the pie:

Hell, that application is shorter than the one I had to fill out to get in to my Mortgage I can no longer afford!

Sweet!

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe we need to just let the economy be? Let the economy correct itself?

Our Politicians have been trying so hard for 10 years to stave off any kind of a recession, that when we run out of options to prop up the economy, we're all going to be in a far worse place than we would have been if we'd just let things work themselves out.

Instead of going through a moderate (in the early 2000's) to a now severe recession, we're going to cook the books to keep it from happening.

Then, when this latest round of "stimulus" doesn't work, instead of a severe recession, we'll just go in to another Great Depression.

Will our elected officials ever learn that sometimes, the best thing to do is just leave things well enough alone?

I am probably wrong.

You decide.
