Change!

Our President promised us change if he were to be elected. Well, he has come through.

Aside from all the negative changes we are going through, there are a few positive ones as far as TheGOM is concerned. His constant shredding of the Constitution and stripping us of our rights has caused posssibly the most important change in this country since the passing of the Civil Rights Act. He has awakened the sleeping giant, the American people. The "Tea Parties" are continuing. Neighbors are getting together and starting to resist this eroding or our freedoms. There is a new wave of "community organizers" bringing people of like mind together. "WE THE PEOPLE" are beginning to wake up.

The news media has broken down. We no longer have fair and balanced coverage of the news. The networks and print have sold us out. They only report what is allowed by the administration. Any media not aligned with the administration is barred from coverage. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is no more!

The new administation has also caused some personal changes for The GOM.

He has become politically active, joining a campaign to remove an incumbent member of the US House.

After a couple of near death experiences last year, The GOM has also become more active in his religion.

TheGOM is also learning a new language, out of a perceived need for self preservation. TheGOM is now also active in a local chapter of a group seeking to educate the nation to what is happening in OUR TIME, the death of a nation.

TheGOM has also been educating himself on international situations. The US has few allies. We don't need to anger them.

Now that TheGOM has his health back, he is thinking about getting a dog. Yes, TheGOM is getting back to a normal life. He now has family living in the same area code, friends that he would give his life for, and now a purpose in life. He will post more often, hopefully meaningful content, but probably just more ramblings of a grouchy old man. Stay tuned.

Does the law appy equally?

Regarding the release of CIA memos:

The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that forced the release of the memos, called on the administration to name a special prosecutor to investigate torture under the administration of George W. Bush.

"We have to look back before we can move forward as a nation. When crimes have been committed, the American legal system demands accountability," said Anthony Romero, the ACLU's executive director.

"President Obama's assertion that there should not be prosecutions of government officials who may have committed crimes before a thorough investigation has been carried out is simply untenable," he said.

"Enforcing the nation's laws should not be a political decision," he added.

Amnesty International's executive director in the United States, Larry Cox, welcomed the release of the memos.

I would ask if what Romero said is true, why are there so many illegal aliens still in this country. Why are guns still in the hands of criminals? Why is the administration full of tax cheats? Why is the Constitution being trampled?

The answer is obvious. The government is out of control. They do not have a clue as to the wishes of their constituents. Both parties have betrayed "We the People".

The tax day protests SHOULD have sent them a wake up call, however the coverage by the main stream media did not accurately portray the reasons and convictions of the protesters. The White House even said that the President was "unaware" of the protests. If he was unaware, what the hell is he doing in office? 

The GOM is BACK!

It's been almost nine months since the last post. Sorry 'bout that, but I'll try to keep up a little better now.

I've had six surgeries since the last post and have spent a total of 3 months in the hospital, but I feel now that I can do justice to The GOM Files.

WHERE DO I START?

Our country is in real trouble. The economy is in shreds, Israel is pissed, Russia is pissed, North Korea is pissed, Iran will have nukes by the end of the year, violence on our Southern border is encroaching on our soil, and all the administration and congress can do is spend trillions on nonsensical projects and programs designed to "spread the wealth". Capitalism is being attacked and our "representation" in DC is just going with the flow. 

How much are we willing to take? 

What atrocity will Obama have to commit before we wake up? 

Will it be too late? 

I'm afraid it already is.

Just My $.02 on the Election

Obama is a brilliant orator. He is a master of the teleprompter. He is a gifted politician. He could be a great leader, BUT NOT HERE! He lacks experience and judgement. He has yet a lot of questions to be answered regarding who he really is. His wife is a liability. 

Clinton is a good politician. She is smart. She is a good leader. She is vicious. She cannot be trusted. Her husband is brilliant, but can not be counted on to always say the right thing. He is not trustworthy. 

McCain is a war hero. He is a good leader. His wife is an asset to him but not to the country.He could be a good President IF he were a bit more in touch with reality. He is old. 

SUMMARY: Our next President should not be any of the above. An ideal ticket would be T.Boone Pickens and either Ron Paul, John Edwards, or Mike Huckabee. Pickens is the only man who has come up with a viable energy plan. He should be drafted to run. Do the people run the country or are we just sheeple to our politicians?

Shaking It All Out & 5 Questions for Obama

OK, the DNC has decided that one person equals one- half vote. They stand on "the rules". I don't have a problem with that as long as they are consistent, as long as they also enforce all rules (and therefore laws) equally. If any of this "rules committee" or anyone that agrees with them fails to support and enforce our immigration laws they will be branded a hypocrite and should be cast out of office. Watch out for this! They are all a bunch of pandering maggots!

Speaking of pandering, and on another note, Obama has now thrown his church under the bus.

A man of conviction would stand up for his religion and church even in face of it's leadership. He can say the leadership of the church is wrong, as he has done. This leads me to believe that he his not a man of conviction, that his Christian religion means little to him. 

SO I ASK HIM:

What religion was he before he became a Christian 20 years ago?

What mosque will he join now?

What did he do on his trips to Pakistan in 1981?

Did I see a poster of Louis Faraquan in an Obama campaign office?

Why won't he publicly answer specific questions about his positions on the 2nd Amendment?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN VOTERS?

Bush encourages increase in illegal immigration!

The President has basically given the go-ahead for illegals to storm the border in 3 weeks. Drugs smuggling will also increase. That is the date he is pulling out the National Guard troops. They were supposed to be there until the Border Patrol had grown to 18,000. The Border Patrol is not there yet but Bush is pulling the Guard troops out anyway.

If I were someone smuggling illegals or drugs I would be overjoyed! "Hey guys, let's just wait until they leave the Border Patrol to handle it shorthanded."

This administration and the Presidential candidates have done NOTHING to secure our borders. Our justice department has prosecuted Border Patrol agents for doing their job and NOTHING has been done! We have a National Guard, but as I see it there is a question as to what nation they are guarding, Iraq, Mexico, or the US.

There was a segment on "60 Minutes" (you know, the extremely non-biased investigative voice of the far left) regarding the level of medical care afforded to illegals while being held in detention while waiting for deportation. 

We, the taxpayer are paying for this medical care and also the high costs of confinement for these illegals. One suggestion is to deport them as they are arrested instead of sending them to a detention center. We could also speed up the deportation process.

 Some of these illegals are even FILING LAWSUITS (with Obama a shoo-in the ACLU has to have something to do) for poor medical treatment. I assure you, the treatment they are getting is far superior to the treatment they could get in their own country. If they don't thinks so then they should just GO HOME!

Once again, I have nothing but respect for LEGAL IMMIGRANTS to our country. They are and have been contributing to the greatness of our nation. 

If someone comes here illegally, flaunting our laws, what kind of citizen could they be? They would not feel they have to wait in lines at restaurants, doctors offices or gas stations. They do KILL to get what they want and  in front of others. Yeah, we really want those people here.

I would like someone to declare Crawford, TX a sanctuary city.

360 Degrees

Well folks, they have finally done it. We have now completed the circle back to segregation. Is Obama proud of himself for stirring up this shit?

I heard today the "black" national anthem. I guess this means "The Star Spangled Banner" is the "white" national anthem. The Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have finally done it. I guess we should go back to "black" and "white" restrooms and water fountains. Is this what Obama is all about?

Now, before you get your panties in a wad, I assure you I respect MLK and all he did for civil rights. All men ARE created equal. All men DO have equal rights.
But for the blacks to have their own national anthem is demostrative of how they are thinking. They want their own, separate country.

I guess the trend is for every ethnic group to want their own America. This is not what our forefathers envisioned, but it's what we have. Open the gates and let everyone in, just be sure you know how to feed and house them.

I'm glad I'm so old. I would not want to live in the USA in 20 years the way things are going. We will have a black army, a mexican-american army and a white army. The Southwest will be all Hispanic, the Northeast will be all black, and there will be a few white folks spread out throughout the Midwest and Southeast. The Northwest will be the new center of the whites. The white capitol will be Spokane or Seattle, the black capitol will be Washington, DC, the Hispanic capitol will be Los Angeles and Texas will still have Austin.

black national anthem... horseshit!

A lady wrote the best letter in the editorials In ages!!! It explains things better than allThe baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.


Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.But I say, 'No! I like it here.

It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well,you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, andthere is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior. Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? Only in America .

GOD BLESS AMERICA, for we need all the help we can get when we have politicians who are too stupid or crooked to do anything about an ILLEGAL immigration problem that seems too big for their small minds to solve.

-- "That whenever any From of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.".

What's Happening

Because we don't enforce our borders

This is happening now. The eagle is crying.

Voter Fraud? Of Course Not!

While watching the Democratic caucus in Nevada today, the thought came to mind that it looked like the election of a third world country. What has this nation come to? Where is the dignity of a Reagan, a Kennedy, an Eisenhower, a Carter?

They needed interpreters to understand what was going on! Does that give you a clue as to what is coming in our election? To become a citizen one must learn English! This election will be nothing but a sham paid for by the taxpayers of the USA for the benefit of the government of Mexico.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

I thought at one time that I would always live in the greatest nation on earth. If the people in this country don't take hold of this country and these politicians I will still be alive to see the fall of the USA. That is a sad thought. Even sadder is the thought that what we knew as the USA will not be here for our children.

Coffee and Retirement

How did we get here? I've seen and somewhat understand the rise of Starbuck's. The Boomers had to have a place to get their upgraded coffee to which they feel entitled. Now I see McDonald's is jumping in to the specialty coffee business. 

Will any of the people that have, or will have paid upwards of $50 per gallon for their coffee over the  period of their lives ever regret it?

Let's see how many senior citizens living on Social Security in the coming years will be ordering thier egg mcmuffin with a double latte mocha caramel frappachino with double whipped cream.  Will Mickey D still offer the simple "senior coffee"?

I can't wait to see the circus at my local McDonald's, the one mentioned in a previous post. Maybe they can understand "Starbuck's speak" better than they do English.

McDonald's and the Illegal Immigration Crisis

The standard disclaimer applies to this post. Please understand the difference between immigrants and ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The GOM visited a local McDonald's over the holidays. As I waited in the line, there was only one ahead of me, four different customers approached the counter with complaints about their orders. There were 5 or 6 people behind the counter screaming at each other in a language I didn't understand. It used to be that McDonald's used a lot of young people and even retirees to staff their stores. Not any more! The use the cheapest labor they can get. McDonald's employees used to try to get the orders right. Now they either don't care or can't tell the difference, or both.

The person ahead of me was served and then the register attendant joined the others in the screaming match. I was approached by a 70-75 year old lady who very nicely asked me why there was no one in the restaurant that spoke good English. I told her that I was not the person to answer that. She then stated that they should all move back to Mexico. I laughed and asked in a loud voice if there was anyone who could take my order. One of them broke away from the jibber jabber and took the order.

If ICE were to conduct raids on all the McDonald's I don't think there would be enough employees left to lock up the doors. There was not ONE Caucasian in this restaurant, which was in an upscale area of town, not in the barrio.

When will the population WAKE UP? These ILLEGAL ALIENS are going to find a way to VOTE! We need to have representation in DC that will stand up to the corporate lobbyists. Our politicians are SELLING our country.

ICE-Where are they when you need them?

Please understand that the following post is in reference to ILLEGAL aliens, what we used to call "wetbacks". I have the utmost respect for legal immigrants to this country. I respect the Mexican people. There was a time in my life I thought about moving to Mexico. I still would if not for the drug cartels and gangs. The Mexican culture and way of life is enviable. They know how to live and enjoy life.


************************************************************************************


I'm sitting at my window looking out at a dreary day. The complex where I live is doing some major renovations and there are workers outside everywhere. I would really like to see what would happen if a Border Patrol or ICE van drove by real slow. None of these workers speak English. If I thought ICE would do anything I'd call them.

It would be different if these people worked like wetbacks used to. Now they take their time and stand around a lot. Seems like it takes five of them to do what one would in the past I remember.


Wetbacks of old also were glad to be here. They appreciated what they got and either sent any extra money back to their families or saved it. They live quietly and were eager to work. They were respectful of laws, not wanting to attract attention to themselves.


The wetbacks today feel entitled to all the rights of citizens. They spend their money on drugs, beer, loud music, cars that bounce, pants that don't fit and hats that they wear backwards. They breed like rabbits so their offspring will be born here and some sympathetic liberals will not want to separate families.


Have you ever heard a quiet wetback? Why do they have to be so loud with their jibberish?


The reason they all come to work in one van is because only one can read the street signs.


Yes, they do hard manual labor. They are covering a block wall with stone in front of my apartment. It does look better. The problem is that I know two stonemasons that are out of work and bid on this job. They are local US citizens. Wonder why they didn't get the job?
