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?

Just a thought...

Just thought I'd throw this out there: 

What if Texas decided to close it's borders, all of them. Oil, cattle, farming, technology, Texas has it all. Ideally you would have to be a native Texas to live here, but that would be impractical so just close the borders now. Control exports of our products. What would we need to import? I can't think of anything. Hmmm..... of course we would make Crawford our token sanctuary city.

Is Cafferty a Racist?

Is Jack Cafferty of CNN News a racist? On Tuesday's program he called Obama "Big Brown"in this race. I'm guessing he was referring to the horse that won the Derby and Preakness, but if Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh had said it the liberals would be all over them.

Race has no place in politics or the reporting of politics. 

Academy-GREAT Customer Service

I went to an Academy Sports store last Friday. While I usually am typically the GOM, I am also fair. When I arrived at the store I was leery of trying to walk all the way to the back, where I needed to go. I can only stand or walk for about 10 minutes without having to sit and rest.

Well, I walked to the back and found the clerk at the counter was helping another customer with another 3 customers waiting. I asked a passing store employee if there was a place I could sit for a bit. He directed me to the outdoor patio section, rather curtly. I went there and sat for a spell. I then went back to the counter and found the clerk was still helping the same customer. As I couldn't stand up any more I left the store.

When I got home I called Academy's corporate customer service. This was late Friday afternoon. I suggested they have scooters available for their disabled customers as so many other stores do. I can shop at the grocery stores, Lowes, Walmart, Bass Pro, and many other retailers. I really believe that as America's population ages and becomes less mobile there will be a time when all stores will have the scooters.

Much to my surprise, at 8:05 on Saturday morning my phone rang. It was the manager of the local store. He was very nice and offered me a gift card. He was in agreement and said they would try to get some scooters. I assured him my suggestion was meant only as a suggestion and not a complaint, as it was. He said that he understood that and he still wanted to send me the card for my inconvenience.

Needless to say, if I can, I will shop there again. I do hope they get the scooters.

This is an example of great response to customers needs. Academy responds to comments quicker than ANY company I have dealt with. KUDOS!

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?

Anybody see a pattern here?

First it was Rev. Wright. Then Ayers. Now is is another clergy that Obama is having to distance himself from. For a supposed "Christian" he is sure dodging the clergy. By association, Obama is a racist! 

Maybe they know something we only suspect, that Obama is only a Christian when it is advantageous to him. What is he the rest of the time? What was he before the Rev. Wright brought him to Christianity 20 years ago? What is he now?  Muslim maybe? WE DON'T KNOW!

This man is dangerous to the US. He has NO experience. If I were having surgery would I want a surgeon who is just out of med school or on who has had experience performing

the operation before? HOW ABOUT YOU?

TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!

Evil Political Dynasties and the Solution

Are the Clintons trying to establish another dynasty? Bill is now trying to get Chelsea involved. Are they alone in this delusional endeavor? Are they evil?

No, they are not by themselves. The Clintons are joined by The Bush's and the Kennedy clan.

Iraq and Chappaquiddick come to mind.

An honest, straight thinking candidate cannot be elected because in order to garner the support of enough party leaders he would have to become one of them, thus abandoning his principles. The only way for us to get a decent President is by a revolution of the people. Our current government is corrupt beyond redemption. I may be too old to see this country become a great nation again, but, sadly, I'm not too old to see it crumble to a third world status before my eyes.

Until there is a strong third party in the US, we are doomed.

Remember, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

Jews and Obama

Barack Huessein Obama has as much chance of some guy named Rabinowitz voting for him as that Rabinowitz guy has of getting an invitation to join the KKK.

There! It's out for all to see. 

Why would ANY Jew vote for someone with all the unanswered questions about his past? There are two other presidential candidates that Jewish voters can have confidence in to protect the State of Israel. 

How do I explain the younger set flocking to Obama?

Unfortunately, Jews in the US have raised their children to be open-minded to all ideas. This has led to the Jewish youth being followers not leaders. The "Pied Piper" has lured the Jewish youth to his way of thinking. They are as naive as he is.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

News Editors: Are you guilty?

We might all send this to our local papers and TV stations, or at least get them to do a reality check.

 

For all news editors:

Making sense of spin in the news

by Dr. Michael Brown

copyright 1999

 

Guns are a sad fact of life in American culture and are a major topic in

modern journalism. A good Journalist has a duty to get involved and make

a difference in this important societal debate. By following certain

guidelines, the concerned Journalist can be assured of having the

maximum impact on this shameful problem.

 

The first principle to remember is that subtle use of terminology can

covertly influence the reader. Adjectives should be chosen for maximum

anti-gun effect.

 

When describing a gun, attach terms like "automatic," "semi-automatic,"

"large caliber," "deadly," "high powered," or "powerful." Almost any gun

can be described by one or more of these terms. More than two guns

should be called an "arsenal."

 

Try to include the term "assault weapon" if at all possible. This can be

combined with any of the terms above for best results. Nobody actually

knows what an assault weapon is, so you cannot be criticized for this

usage. Your local anti-gun organization can provide you with a list of

the latest buzz words like "junk guns," "Saturday Night Specials," and

"the criminal's weapon of choice."

 

Don't worry about getting technical details right. Many a reporter has

accidentally written about 'semi-automatic revolvers' or committed other

minor errors. Since most people know little about guns, this is not a

problem. Only the gun nuts will complain and they don't count. The

emotional content of your article is much more important than the

factual details, since people are more easily influenced through their

emotions than through logic.

 

Broadcast Journalists should have a file tape showing a machine gun

firing on full automatic. Run this video while describing "automatic"

weapons used in a crime or confiscated by police. At the least, a large

graphic of a handgun should be displayed behind the on-air personality

when reading any crime story.

 

Do not waste words describing criminals who use guns to commit crimes.

Instead of calling them burglar, rapist, murderer, or repeat offender,

simply use the term "gunman." This helps the public associate all forms

of crime and violence with the possession of guns.

 

Whenever drug dealers are arrested, guns are usually confiscated by the

police. Mention the type and number of guns more prominently than the

type and quantity of drugs. Include the number of rounds of ammunition

seized, since the number will seem large to those who know little about

guns. Obviously, the drug dealers who had the guns should now be called

"gunmen."

 

Political discussions on gun control legislation usually involve pro-gun

organizations. Always refer to these organizations as "the gun lobby."

If space permits, mention how much money the gun lobby has spent to

influence political campaigns and describe their legislative lobbying

efforts as "arm twisting" or "threats."

 

Gun owners must never be seen in a positive light. Do not mention that

these misguided individuals may actually be well educated, or have

respectable jobs and healthy families. They should be called "gun nuts"

if possible or simply gun owners at best. Mention details about their

clothing, especially if they are wearing hunting clothes or hats.

Mention the simplistic slogans on their bumper stickers to show that

their intelligence level is low. Many gun owners drive pickup trucks,

hunt and live in rural areas. Use these details to help portray them as

ignorant rednecks. Don't use the word "hunt." Always say that they

"kill" animals.

 

Don't be afraid to interview these people, they are harmless even though

we don't portray them that way. Try to solicit comments that can be

taken out of context to show them in the worst possible light.

 

Never question the effectiveness of gun control laws or proposals. Guns

are evil and kill people. Removing guns from society can only be good.

Nobody really uses guns for legitimate self-defense, especially women or

children. Any stories about armed self-defense must be minimized or

suppressed.

 

Be careful about criticizing the police for responding slowly to 911

calls for help. It is best if the public feels like the police can be

relied upon to protect them at all times. If people are buying guns to

protect their families, you are not doing your job.

 

Emphasize stories where people kill family members and/or themselves

with guns. It is important to make the public feel like they could lose

control and start killing at any moment if they have a gun in the house.

Any story where a child misuses a gun is front page material.

 

View every shooting as an event to be exploited. Always include

emotional quotes from the victim's family if possible. If they are not

available, the perpetrator's family will do nicely. The quote must blame

the tragedy on the availability of guns. Photos or video of grieving

family members are worth a thousand facts.

 

Most people will accept the assertion that guns cause crime. It is much

easier than believing that some people deliberately choose to harm

others.

 

Your story should include terms like "tragic" or "preventable" and

mention the current toll of gun violence in your city or state. Good

reporters always know exactly how many gun deaths have occurred in their

area since the first of the year. List two or three previous incidents

of gun violence to give the impression of a continuing crime wave.

 

Little space should be devoted to shootings where criminals kill each

other. Although these deaths greatly inflate the annual gun violence

numbers, they distract from the basic mission of urging law abiding

citizens to give up their guns.

 

Do not dig too deeply into the reasons behind shootings. The fact that a

gun was involved is the major point, unless someone under 18 is

affected, in which case the child angle is now of equal importance.

 

Any article about gun violence should include quotes from anti-gun

organizations or politicians. One quote should say that we must do

something "for the children." Anti-gun spokespersons should be called

"activists" or "advocates."

If your employer wishes to appear unbiased, you can include one token

quote from a gun lobby group to show that you are being fair. The

anti-gun statements should be accepted as fact. The gun lobby statement

can be denigrated by including text like, "according to gun lobbyist

Jones."

 

Fortunately, statements from anti-gun organizations come in short sound

bites that are perfect for generating an emotional response in the

reader or viewer. Gun lobby statements usually contain boring facts that

are easy to ignore.

 

Feel secure in your advocacy journalism. The vast majority of your

fellow Journalists support your activism. The nation will be a better

place when only the police and military have guns. Remember that you are

doing it for the children so the end justifies the means.

 

Eventually, the government will have a monopoly on power. Don't worry

about the right to freedom of the press, just contact me then for more

helpful hints.

Enough is Enough!

OK, first it Was Rev. Wright eschewing his drivel about 911 being the fault of the US.

Then there was the blatant coddling of Obama by the media. This still continues.

Michelle Obama not being proud of the US until now.

Then the elitist remarks about clinging to guns and religion.

Now a member of the US House has said that the violence on our southern border is OUR fault! Keep in mind they are both Democrats and where they are from.

Quoting from an article by Penny Starr of CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) - Three Democratic lawmakers who spoke Wednesday about alleged anti-immigrant coverage by conservative media outlets were not aware of a recent State Department travel alert warning Americans about military-like "combat" along the southern U.S. border in Mexico, where Americans are being kidnapped and murdered.

Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Hilda Solis (D-Calif.) both spoke toCybercast News Service after the briefing and said they had no knowledge of the travel alert but were aware of the volatility along the U.S. southern border.

"I've read different reports of the violence in Mexico, and I am a strong advocate for cracking down on the violence, and I'm very concerned about the murder of women," Solis said. "But I'm more concerned about people having their civil rights violated here."

"I haven't seen the travel alert, but I'm going to take a look at it," Gutierrez said. "But does it surprise me? It doesn't surprise me."

Gutierrez blamed drug use in the United States for some of the violence.

"We are the consumers," he said. "We are the cause."

Speakers at the briefing said that CNN and Fox News Channel should be held accountable for television personalities who have "played major roles in creating this anti-immigrant hysteria," specifically Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck on CNN and Bill O'Reilly on Fox.

When will the voters in this country wake up and see the reality that is Obama? 

HE IS NOT THE MAN HE SAYS HE IS!

 THERE ARE TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!

Ted Kennedy- I wish him well, but...

No one should ever have as much tragedy in his life as Ted Kennedy. 

By the same token, no one family should inflect so much tragedy on others.

Possibly his brain tumor is the reason he endorsed Obama.

Mary Jo Kopechne, 1969

Not much else to say, is there?

Black Hurricanes

Sent to me today. I don't doubt it's validity. I'll bet the congresswoman is a Democrat.

Black hurricanes....

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about.   A black congresswoman, from Florida , has complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture  such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal.   I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in Language that street people can understand because one of the  problems that happened in New Orleans  was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I can hear it now:   A weatherman in Miami and Tampa says...

Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be

headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket!

Bitch be a category fo'! So grab yo' chirren, yo'

Ho, be leavin yo crib, and head fo' da nearest

guv'ment off ice fo yo FREE shit!

Chickens coming home to roost?

I realize this post may not be in the best taste. If it offends anyone, I'm truly sorry, but the media is really biased. This is the rest of the story. Tell it like it is...

Today, Ted Kennedy suffered what is first described as stroke-like symptoms, later diagnosed as seizures. I truly wish him well, as I would anyone with a similar condition, although my political views are quite different.

The reason for this post is that all the news coverage is expounding on his virtues and those of his family. They are a family of elitists, believing the law does not apply to them. A bit of a reality check is in order:

                                        http://tinyurl.com/4yec27

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), drove a car off a bridge on Massachusetts' Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 after a party. The accident killed aide Mary Jo Kopechne, and controversy over the incident effectively ended the Massachusetts senator's presidential aspirations.

His son Edward Jr. had his right leg amputated in 1973 because of cancer; his son Patrick, now a congressman, sought treatment for cocaine addiction as a teen-ager in 1986.

His nephew, William Kennedy Smith, was accused of rape in 1991 at the family estate in Palm Beach, Florida. He was acquitted. 

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.

What Lies Underneath?

It's the VICE-PRESIDENTS that will make the difference in this election.

If McCain is elected, he has a good chance of not living through his term of office. After all, he IS 71.

The same might be true for Obama.

 It's surprising Hillary has lived this long. 

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

That being said, Barack has an awful lot of explaining to do. Hillary is an open book albeit a horror story. McCain is a hero, but a little senile.

What would happen if McCain should suffer a heart attack before the election.

 I would like to see the only people's candidate surface as the conventions approach.

  Thank Heaven Ron Paul is still on the ballot!

Obama Supresses Freedon of Speech!

The following is a direct cut and paste from Obama's website. Make up your own mind about this guy.

2nd Amendment: Right or Privilege

The following is a quote from Senator Obama's website:

PROTECTING GUN RIGHTS

Respect the Second Amendment: Millions of hunters own and use guns each year. Millions more participate

in a variety of shooting sports such as sporting clays, skeet, target and trap shooting that may not necessarily

involve hunting. As a former constitutional law professor, Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment

creates an individual right, and he greatly respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms. He will

protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns for the

purposes of hunting and target shooting. He also believes that the right is subject to reasonable and

commonsense regulation.

Why does he want to eliminate concealed carry permits for law abiding, background checked citizens?

If Obama thinks the 2nd Amendment is subject to regulation how does he feel about the rest of the Bill of Rights. How does he feel about civil rights? Is "all men are created equal" subject to commonsense regulation?

Scary stuff, folks!

Elitest? I think not!

Folks, I'm a poker player and as such call a spade a spade.

The opponents of Obama are calling him an "eletist". A long time ago the work would have been "uppity". His  remarks about the people of Pennsylvania being "bitter" just let us know that his true colors are showing. He is against the 2nd Amendment even more than Clinton. Why does he want an unarmed citizenry?

He said the people are clinging to their religion. What's wrong with that? Does he think that they are infidels? C'mon Barack Heussein Obama, let it all out!

John McCain was not my first choice for President, but now he is the ONLY choice. I will support him.

I've always been told that where there is smoke, there is fire. All this "smoky" information about Obama being a Muslim may have merit. It is reported as a young man he also traveled to Pakistan. What did he do there? Did he also go to Jerusalem on that trip? This guy just scares the hell out of me.

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!

Hillary Steps In It!

Why did she do it?
Why did she lie about Bosnia?

John McCain really DID dodge sniper fire!

Just another example of character and lack of the same.

Obama and his religious leader are still in the news.

There is no end of material for a post, but it's almost overwhelming.

The DHS says it wants to eliminate the lucrative jobs in this country so illegals will stay home. I think our free trade policies have done that for them.

So much material, so little time.

Obama- American?

The GOM is voting for Hillary in the Texas primary! I'll vote differently in November of course, but Obama must be stopped.

I hate to admit it, but Bill was right. This guy is a joke. His rhetorical skills on on par with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, his cohorts in this master plan, but his substance and character are certainly suspect. When he is giving a speech the words just flow. When he must think about what he is saying, however, he stops and stutters so much one wonders if he is even literate.

How can ANY American not be aware they are passing Dealey Plaza?

In an article in the New York Times:
“Right around the corner is the John Kennedy Memorial; everyone all around me was talking about it,” said Imogene Covin, a Democratic activist from Dallas. “In the back of my mind, it’s a possibility that something might happen because he’s something to gawk at right now. But you know why I think he will be safe? He has a broad range of people behind him.”
That afternoon, Mr. Obama’s motorcade passed Dealey Plaza and the Texas Book Depository building, where the fatal shot was fired at President Kennedy in 1963. Several campaign aides looked out their windows, silently absorbing the scene.
Not so for Mr. Obama, who later said he had not realized he was passing the site. And no one in his car pointed it out.
“I’ve got to admit, that’s not what I was thinking about,” he said. “I was thinking about how I was starting to get a head cold and needed to make sure that I cleared up my nose before I got to the arena.”

I got an email today that is one of the funniest I have ever received. I decided to share it here on the GOM Files.

Friends:I bought a new Ford F-350 crew cab and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. 'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio. The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?' 'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again' came from the speakers. Then he said, 'Ray Charles!' and in an instant, 'Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,' I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, 'Beatles, I'd get one of their awesome songs. Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, 'Idiots!' Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on Scotch. I love this truck.

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.

Pet Peeve

The GOM has re-entered the world of commerce. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to order your sheet of stickers to place on the windshield of any cars you see illegally parked in handicapped spaces. The GOM will not rant on these idiots today, he might explode.

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.

What's Really Important

Sorry it's been a while since the last post. I've just been too upset by the latest news. Since Thursday the GOM has been riveted to the TV following the terrible tragedy that has befallen one of America's greatest icons, Brittany Spears.

COME ON PEOPLE! How can this Brittany crap have such a hold on the American people? And more significant, how can it dominate the media? There have almost been more stories about her than the slanted stories we are getting about the primaries.

All the candidates should be heard! ALL! The exclusion of one of the viable Republican candidates from a debate is nothing less that censorship. Ask yourself, Why does the media and RNC want to  silence Ron Paul?

I don't necessarily support him, but he has the right to be heard. Our elections are controlled in this country by the media. They determine what candidates are seen and heard. They run polls with questions designed to enhance their candidate's position.

We have become a nation of sheep in this country. We are being led by the media which is owned by the extremely wealthy 1% of this country, not the masses.  Only a few media people get it right, a very few.

The GOM doesn't care who you vote for, as long as you vote with an informed opinion. If you vote, know who and what you are voting for. Take part in this wonderful privilege we have in this country, at least for now.

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.
