2009 - PREDICTIONS AND A LOOK AHEAD

2008 was a bad year from nearly all perspectives. The only improvement in 2008 is the situation in Iraq. President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld's stubborn refusal to put in more troops and change strategy postponed the potential success of Iraq off until 2008. If they would have admitted that things weren't going well, maybe they would have made that change. At least President Bush finally opened his eyes after republicans lost the 2006 midterm election and fired Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld would never have admitted the failure of his policy. Good riddance!
 
Economic hardships and international turmoil weighed on the minds of Americans this past election year. America blindly wanted change, just as they did in 2006. They didn't take in how unpopular the democratically-led congress was because their approval rating was nearly a third of Bush's. Be careful of what you wish for.
 
Will 2009 pick up where 2008 left off? Will things improve or will things get worse? Here are some of my predictions for 2009. For most I hope I am wrong, but we shall see. I foresee 2009 as a giant step downward. History will see 2008 merely as a transitional year, and a harbinger of the evil ahead.
 
Oil prices - Just because gas prices have come down in recent months, that doesn't mean they will stay there. As a matter of fact, there is nothing different between now and when gas prices went to $4 a gallon. We are still by far energy dependent. We elected a party that refuses to drill offshore while other countries are off our shores taking what could be ours. OPEC is still the oil producing mafia, and whatever they say goes. The only reason that oil prices went down was because President Bush said he was lifting restrictions to drill offshore. The very next day oil prices started to drop. People who invested nothing in the future's markets saw that they had a good run, but it was time to sell. A hefty profit they made as Americans struggled to get to work. President Obama promises to increase taxes on the oil companies. As many know, businesses do not pay taxes. They increase the price of their products and have us pay for their taxes. In order to actually drill offshore though, congress has to also lift their ban on offshore drilling. The election assured us that this will not happen. The pieces are in place for a return to a steep increase in oil prices. Tensions in the Middle East will also be an excuse for the rise in oil prices. 2009 will see a steady climb in prices by the end of the year.
 
Israel - Israel is using the time between administration changes to try to clean as much house as possible. They're not stupid. They know President Obama will try to cut their legs from under them should Israel be forced to respond to Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas. How far it will go will depend on how poll numbers see the Kadima Party in the upcoming elections. If poll numbers show a favorability towards Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Party, then it will probably be a significant battle ahead. If poll numbers are in favor of the centrist Kadima Party, then they will only go as far as it takes to make sure they keep power. Recently, Netanyahu and the Likud Party are opening a bigger lead in polls over Livni and the Kadima. Elections will take place February 10th.
 
If Netanyahu wins, Israel will have a leader that will not back down from any threat in the region. He's a hawk, and rightfully so. Israel's enemies are not only on its doorstep in nearly every direction, but they have enemies within. Netanyahu will bring a new policy in dealing with Iran and Syria. Look to Israel sending a message to Iran through Syria. Keep an eye out on what happens to Damascus. Also keep an eye on Madrid sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. The rise of the EU will continue.
 
Russia and China - Both will grow in power. Technology and a smaller world has helped them in ways most can't imagine. Both countries are using countries who hated us for years, but in years past couldn't really do much to us with their hate. Now with technology being more advanced, we are forced to pay heavy attention to the countries we just saw as a nuisance before. That will open up both countries to push their agendas forward. President Obama and the Democratic Party in charge doesn't have the backbone it takes to confront them. We're already in Iraq and Afghanistan, much with Russia and China's help. They blocked us from putting forth a strong message to Saddam Hussein as they made money from the much too seldomly covered UN's "Oil For Food" scandal. What really helps China is that we are in so much debt to them. Americans realize the future Chinese threat, but administration after administration doesn't seem to. For this, we are destined to pay a price.
 
President Obama - The world will test him quickly, just as stated by VP Joe Biden. The enemies of the US saw our election of Obama as a blink. They will at least try to take advantage of our perceived weakness. I foresee trouble again in Iraq. Iran will be responsible, but will of course have Russia's permission. Iran cannot sneeze without Russia's permission. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, it was because they wanted to reach the southern shore of Asia. They didn't choose Iran because they're already allies, so they didn't need to. Biden's prediction will be accurate to a point, but I don't even think he realizes how much Obama will be tested and by how many fronts this test will come from. Maybe by the end of the year to quell the Iraqi uprising, Biden's idea of partitioning Iraq will come to fruition. In 2008, it seemed like the whole world couldn't stand us. In 2009, it will seem like the whole world has risen up against us.
 
Economy - There is no way out of it. We are headed for very troubled times. I won't blame the year ahead economically on President Obama, but I fear his administration will make things worse for the long run. More borrowing and higher spending is the opposite of what we should be doing. He's still sticking to the tax cuts idea, but won't say when he will get rid of Bush's tax cuts on the supposed wealthy. That's more borrowing from countries like China. That weakens more the American dollar, which again fell against other currencies around the world. President Bush and the republicans from years ago have handed a heavy baton to President Obama, because they lost all fiscal responsibility. The republicans wanted to keep their power so they showed the dems they can even outspend them with pork projects and increased spending. During a time of war, that was a recipe for disaster. Instead of dems showing they can be somewhat fiscally responsible, they're going to say to the republicans "you think you can outspend us? We're democrats. No one outspends us! Who are you kidding?!" That will drop the already weak dollar even more. Factories and businesses will continue to close. Unemployment will crash the economy. I'm sorry to say, I really don't see a way out of this. Even the great optimists must have a feeling in the pit of their stomachs of our nation's future economic outlook. 2008 was only a prognosticator. 2009 will be the fulfillment.
 
Global Warming - Finally people will see this as a fraud perpetrated by those with a vested economic interest and a thirst to be in the news. This will be the second straight year of cooling weather. As winter approaches at the end of 2009, cold temperatures will again foretell a cooler than average season. That will be three winters in a row with cold temperatures. People will line up in front of Al Gore's mansion, snowballs at the ready waiting for him to peek his alpaca wearing head from around the corner. Scientists will point to the cooling trend as being a drop in sunspot activity. Instead of saying this comes in cycles, they will again predict an ice age looming. They don't care if they get proven wrong again. They just love being in the news.
 
These are a few of my predictions for 2009. I'm pretty good with my predictions I must admit. These predictions if they come true will not provide me with any satisfaction. They're too dire with too great of consequences. I will enjoy the global warming hysteria crumbling though. I have a feeling that I'm not the only one among you that will have a big smile over this. 2010 will begin where 2009 left off, but in the middle months things will change. They will not change for the better. Perhaps it will look as such, but the seeds of evil will be planted by the end of 2010. Oh! And a happy new year to you! ; )

MY INTERVIEW WITH AL GORE

Only because of my prognosticative abilities am I able to see that in the year 2011 that I will have an interview with former VP Al Gore. The month will be June. The temperature outside will be 46 degrees for a high in Chicago. This will be in the fourth full year of below average temperatures on Earth. Scientists of all kinds finally admit they were wrong about man causing global warming. Not having learned their lessons, scientists are now again claiming we are about to enter an ice age. Just like they did in the 70's. Al Gore comes into the interview with a polar bear fur coat and alpaca hat. This is the entire transcript of the future interview.

 

Me: Welcome, Mr. Gore. Whoa! That's some get up!

Gore: Well, yeah. It's cold outside! The ice age is coming, you know?

Me: Ahh, yeah. Ice age. Anyway, thanks for coming to do this interview.

Gore: The honor is all mine, Mr. Norman. I'm a huge fan even though I disagree with everything you say. (okay, I'm paraphrasing there)

Me: Speaking of ice age. You are one of the last of the global warming hysteria's refugees. What made you finally give up this foolish notion?

Gore: Well, I have to admit I'm pretty hard-headed. I just got back from vacation in Hawaii. Took a private jet. Damn I love those. It was the beginning of June and it snowed. Then I started thinking "hey, this global warming stuff is a fraud." Hey, who knew right?

Me: Actually I did. A lot of us did and yet you called us "flat-Earthers" who should not be given any airtime with our idiotic opinions.

Gore: Let's not talk about things that divide us. Let's talk about things that bring us together.

Me: Well, Mr. Gore, I have to respectfully say I am conducting this interview. You sounded like you were all about division just a few short years ago by calling people with common sense "flat-Earthers". Besides I'm sure you don't want to talk about the past since you have been proven to be so wrong.
 
Gore: Well a lot of people were.
 
Me: True, but you won a Nobel Peace Prize for your work in promoting a false assumption that men, by proxy the United States was burning the Earth like it was kindlin. Don't you think Irena Sendler should have really won that award?
 
Gore: Who's that?
 
Me: Who's that? She was the woman who during WWII smuggled Jewish children in ambulances and gave them to people so they wouldn't be killed. When the Gestapo found out what she was doing, they tortured her. Don't you think she deserved it more?
 
Gore: Damn, yeah I will give that up to you. She did deserve it. That's incredibly brave.
 
Me: Why don't you give her the money you earned from your prize?
 
Gore: No.
 
Me: Didn't think so. Next question is with the newest talk of ice age, when are people like you going to stop listening to these scientists who seem to be hellbent on just trying to stay in the news?
 
Gore: Do you have a degree in science?
 
Me: Do you? No I don't, but I'm not being proven wrong every other decade either over outlandish but presented to be factual predictions. They claimed we were in or about to enter an ice age back in the 70's. They were wrong. In the 90's and much of the first decade of this millennium they claimed men were melting the Earth and causing the extinction of the polar bear. Yet, you come here wearing a fur of one since the UN has made a resolution to kill ten thousand polar bears since their numbers are too high. When are you going to learn?
 
Gore: Well they can't be wrong three times in a row.
 
Me: Why not?
 
Gore: Let's move on to something else.
 
Me: Okay. The war with Israel. Do you think President Obama should have attacked Israel with the advice of his new head of Middle Eastern Affairs, Rashid Khalidi?
 
Gore: Yes, we were provoked. I think President Obama did the right thing.
 
Me: How were we provoked? They're our allies.
 
Gore: Did they have WMD's?
 
Me: Yeah, but they're on our side. They weren't threatening us.
 
Gore: Sure they were. They were about to go to war with Iran, and we can't have that. We need oil from them so we can save our planet from the ice age. Israel was a threat to Iran's oil supply. We need their oil. Forget that stupid wind and hybrid stuff. We need to warm our planet. Global cooling is going to freeze us all. We need to burn more oil.
 
Me: What?!
 
Gore: Don't interrupt me, son. I was on a roll. Speaking of rolls, I'm hungry. Yeah, we need to burn more fossil fuels. We need more forest fires. That's why I'm proposing we assassinate Smokey The Bear. Don't cause forest fires my arse! Light them all on fire!
 
Me: So we should burn all of the fossil fuels to save us from global cooling?
 
Gore: Are you deaf, you flat-Earther?! Yes, burn them while we still can. That's another good thing about bombing Israel. More explosions send the temperatures up.
 
Me: I think I've heard enough from you, Mr. Gore. I tell you one thing though. When you take a side, you definitely jump in with both feet. With your head up your as...
 
Gore: Hey! That's enough! Now I'm going to leave and go turn on every light in my mansion.
 
 
As you can see, Al Gore and others like him will not learn from history. They probably will have a lot of followers where people will really be afraid of an ice age, despite the false predictions from the past. To put it gently, they're loony toons!

I'M EFFIN FREEZIN, YOU GLOBAL WARMING LEMMINGS!

I've been a critic of this global warming hysteria for a long time now. I've had debates with family and friends for years. Until very recently, most of the scientific evidence pointed towards man causing this warming trend. I never denied there was warming, but I was rational in thinking that this was just part of some natural cycle. With recent weather trends and scientific evidence, it seems my contention has conclusively been proven correct.

I stated that thirty years ago scientists were swearing up and down that we were in or entering an ice age. This is a fact. The ice age hysteria was the consensus among scientists. This had some people fearing what to do in the event of an ice age. This was also stated in my arguments to those I debated about man causing global warming. Obviously we weren't in or didn't enter an ice age. I remember former Chicago meteorologist John Coleman for NBC Channel 5 trying to prove on tv that the consensus among scientists was wrong and that we weren't in or about to enter an ice age. He was proven correct. Two years ago he came out of retirement and stated this global warming hysteria is also a myth. Scientists and the media dismissed him saying "who's John Coleman?" I can tell you he was the last accurate weathercaster, and he came out years ago taking on these same scientists and was proven correct. He also founded the Weather Channel. That's who John Coleman is.

In the Midwest we had some of the coldest weather ever recorded last year. Last year in the Chicago area, in less than three weeks we had four cold snaps, each of which dropped the temperatures to around zero for a high. Scientists and people who have invested in this belief that man is causing global warming might say "you can't go just by that. It's just an isolated incident." Is it? Much of Earth had a very cold winter as well. In many areas they had their coldest winter on record. According to statistics, ice in arctic areas were 30% thicker last winter than average and they were at their thickest level since 1979, the year which they started measuring ice at the caps. That's something you will never hear a proponent of the global warming hysteria bring up. As of January 2008, snowfall in the northern hemisphere reached a forty-two year high. The temperatures that winter have been the coldest on average going back before the start of the 20th century. In Vietnam the winter killed cattle and crops. Around the Korean peninsula the cold killed tons upon tons of tropical fish.

 
How is the weather so far this year? It's effin' cold, that's how it is. Right now it is ten degrees. I don't live next door to Sarah Palin either. Ten degrees. It's been very cold this fall and the winter has been predicted to be very cold too. Last year, global warming lemmings said the cold was due to a La Nina, which usually brings about cooler temperatures. What about this year? There was no La Nina this year. Just last year. So why were most people predicting we would have a cold winter this year? I have to say I was the first one, though. And as the first one I will predict next winter to be cold too.

What happened to us being on the road to Meltsville? This isn't an isolated incident. You can't keep on screaming about man causing global warming and then have the coldest winter on record for much of the world. It doesn't add up. So why is it cooling? Why were we warming? Why were we cooling before we were warming? Sorry if that made your head spin. I've said in prior posts that the only thing that can cause us to go from the talk of "ice age" to "we're melting" is the Sun. It's the only LOGICAL explanation. Man can't cause such a drastic change within a decade. It's impossible. In 1979 they were still talking of an ice age. In 1988, the UN came out first saying we were having global warming. That's ten years. That little tidbit doesn't do their delusion any good. And because the scientists and media are so hysterical about this because it gets them in the news, anything to the contrary won't get much attention. That's why it was barely reported that NASA discovered Mars was warming even more than Earth in the same period of time a couple of years ago. Gee, can man cause warming on Mars too? How does man, the United States by proxy, get the blame for warming Mars? How does Mars warm even more than Earth? The same reason why I predicted last winter we would have a cold winter this year. The same reason why I'm predicting next year will have a cold winter too. Lack of sunspot activity. Some scientists are now starting to realize that this is going to cause a cooling trend. This was also the explanation of why we had a cooling trend in the 60s and 70s. So if there was a lack of sunspot activity in the 60s and 70s and we had cooler weather, and there is a lack of sunspot activity now causing the cold this year, couldn't any idiot conclude that an increase of sunspot activity caused the damn warming the last twenty years? MAN! That's just too damn easy!

Will scientists give up on the man causing global warming hysteria? Nope. They have too much invested into it. They were proven to be idiots in the 70s and 80s. They can't afford to be proven to be idiots again. Who would listen to them again? I'll tell you who... Al Gore and Bill Maher and people like them. The same people who accuse Christians of being lemmings to their church are lemmings to the scientific community. It doesn't matter what these scientists say, these people will claim it to be the law of the land. And if you don't agree with them, then you're a stupid person who's just not as educated as they are. That's what Bill Maher says all of the time. You have to be stupid to not believe that man is causing global warming. I guess I'm stupid then. I'm also right. If I'm stupid, then what does that make Bill Maher? Uberstupid I guess. Al Gore said that people who didn't think man was causing global warming shouldn't even be heard with their views. Pathetic. He even called us "flat-earthers" on 60 Minutes. Well, this is two cold winters in a row Mr. Gore.

With a lack of sunspot activity probably continuing for the time being, you can bet your bottom dollar that if the scientists again said we were in an ice age that people like Bill Maher and Al Gore would believe them. And if you don't, they'll again call you stupid. It doesn't matter to them if you're proven right or not. Your supposed "lack of education" in their eyes keeps them from giving you credit for having the same sized brain as they have. What egos! If there indeed is a continued cooling trend, scientists will have to give up on this man causing warming hysteria at some point. They won't go down without a fight though. They will continue to say these are isolated incidents no matter how diverse the findings are. Actually last winter a NASA scientist said to forget about global warming, beware of an ice age looming. They just can't help themselves. He was the first to jump off that bandwagon and onto the next one. Others will follow when it becomes clear to them that we are no longer melting.

I guess since we're flat-Earthers, Gore must be Christopher Columbus. I want Christopher Columbus interviewed three years from now when this cooler weather continues. Sunspot activity doesn't just shut off and on, so it will be here a while. Probably a couple of decades just like the last time. I want this jerk interviewed telling me that I'm still a "flat-Earther" after we've had a few years of cold weather. I want him to explain why the drop in temperature. Please don't die Mr. Gore. I want you to stick around and explain to me why you insulted me but yet I was proven right. Please eat healthy. Take care of yourself. You're getting a bit chunky there again, Al. Your weight is fluctuating like Oprah. Go on that NutriSystem diet. You can eat man food like pizza, burgers, and pot roast with the help of their glycemic index technology. Buckle up. Drive a Volvo, the safest automobile on Earth. Jog regularly. Take your vitamins and say your prayers. I want you here to eat crow in a few years. Tell everyone why you were wrong and that flat-Earther people like me were right. Eat that heaping helping of humble pie. I will be proven right, Mr. Columbus.

THE REAL CHRISTMAS STORY

Even though people widely accept that Jesus, our Saviour was born on or close to December 25th, this is not really the case. When Jesus was born, it is written there were shepherds tending to their flocks at night. This would have only been done during the Harvest Moon. That would be right around late September. What the significance of December 25th is that it may have been the date Jesus was conceived by God. It would have been right around that time in order for him to be born right at the time of the Harvest Moon, so there is some significance of this date. This is the real miracle, right? Not the virgin birth, but the conception of a virgin. If a virgin is pregnant, she’s going to give birth. The miracle may have happened on December 25th, but Jesus was not born anywhere around that date.  Just one of those things Christians should know.

Many intellectuals claim that Christians stole Christmas from the pagans and took the tradition of decorating the tree from them also. That is only partly correct. The pagans did decorate their winter holiday trees, but they also worshipped them. Christians do not worship the trees they set up and decorate. Christians also give gifts to loved ones traditionally to honor what the three wise men did when they brought the baby Jesus gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Maybe many of them have lost the idea of that, but that’s how the tradition started.

Just thought it would be a good idea to set a couple of things straight as the anniversary of the conception of Christ comes. Merry Christmas everyone, and have a happy New Year. God bless.

MY KIND OF TOWN, CHICAGO IS...

Chicago is the head of Illinois. Maybe it's not the capital of Illinois, but it's certainly the head. The corruption that has trickled throughout Illinois started with Chicago. The master was former Mayor Daley, father of the current Mayor Daley in Chicago. The tenure of the old Mayor Daley was known as the "Daley Machine". The Daley Machine was about "pay to play" politics. We heard many times yesterday the term "pay to play" when discussing Gov. Rod Blagojevich. While Blagojevich took it to an insane, superbly arrogant level, he just took the baton from the old Mayor Daley. The current Mayor Daley is also following in his father's footsteps.
 
Chicago is the most corrupt city in the entire country. For decades it was known how to do political business in Chicago, and everyone was willing to play. This is the backbone of Chicago. It's soul is corrupt. It would trickle soon throughout the state and has taken down many governors in the past few decades. Former Gov. George Ryan was mentioned many times yesterday as well. He's currently serving in a federal prison for his involvement in taking money in an illegal driver's license scam. He would receive payments to give licenses to truckers who shouldn't be driving. This was known in Illinois before he was even elected. Illinois didn't care. Rod Blagojevich is the fourth Illinois governor to have the law come after him, and the second in a row.
 
The people of Illinois aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. As I said, George Ryan had these strong accusations before he was elected. Blagojevich also had allegations of mispropriety before he was re-elected. The current Mayor Daley is as crooked as they come. He's all about "pay to play", and sees himself as a king rather than a mayor. And why not? I would bet 95% of Chicagoans can't name the  opponent in the last election against Daley (Dorothy Brown and William Walls, both democrats). They pretty much all hate him, but they vote him in by percentages that would make Saddam Hussein jealous. They certainly wouldn't dare vote a republican into office in Chicago. Daley has had numerous members of his administration that have come under indictment. This would be news in most cities, but people in Chicago are more worried about curses and da Bears than corruption running rampant in their city.
 
Former Congressman Dan Rostenkowski was convicted of mail fraud in the House's Post Office scam. His father was Joe Rosteknowski, known as Chicago's "ward boss". Former Illinois Otto Kerner Jr. was convicted of receiving stock in a horse track in Arlington as a form of bribery. Former Gov. Daniel Walker was convicted after his term for fraud in a savings and loan scam. Former Congressman of Chicago Mel Reynolds was convicted of sexual assault, solicitation of child pornography, bank fraud, and lying to SEC investigators.
 
This is the Chicago, and Illinois as a whole, culture. Tony Rezko was involved very much with Rod Blagojevich and also with Barack Obama. What Obama's ties in yesterday's scandal is unclear. Maybe it's nothing, but I will say something I've said many times. No one that comes out of Chicago politics comes out clean. It's impossible. In order to play, you must pay. I'm sure Obama played quite well. He certainly played Rezko pretty well when he bought his home for a discounted price. Who knows who will be the next governor of Illinois? One thing is almost certain, they will not be clean. Who in Illinois is?

THE ATTACK UPON GOD

The attacks upon God and those who believe in Him are becoming more sharp and mainstream in recent years. What these so-called personal geniuses don’t realize is that they are fulfilling scripture by doing so. I hear these masters of the universe say the darnedest things with such fervor and authority about things they know nothing about. They always have to add that little shot to those who believe, especially Christians, saying that they are uneducated and believe in just an adult Santa Claus myth. Nothing like putting those down that disagree. I don’t mind taking shots or giving them much, but those I give the shots to have cast the first stone.

Atheists are prideful hypocrites who say they are for equal treatment and harmony among all of creation, when in fact they want to be recognized by everyone else as being the great thinkers of our time and never miss an opportunity to try to get under the skin of their Christian coinhabitants. They try as hard as they can to stick out from amongst the crowd with their middle-child syndrome. They especially use Christian holidays to make sure that they are heard. Anyone that says they are insulted or offended at God being referred to in our currency or a nativity scene displayed by a town or city during Christmas season is lying to you. One can’t look at a dollar bill and get irate. One can’t look at people praising someone they believe to be their Saviour and feel like they’ve had their faces spat upon. This is their way of letting you know they are smarter than you because they don’t believe in God. They believe in evolution.

The intellectuals and atheists are big believers in evolution. That is their reason for being. This is their god, whether they like to think of it this way or not. Evolution is their god. The supreme prophet of the Evolution god was Darwin. A prophet who didn’t even believe the theory he proposed himself. With this belief, it allows them to live their life without restriction. Why have restrictions when there is nothing to answer for after their lives are done? This is a benefit for their belief. Possibly even an excuse to not use their own willpower to do things their conscience tells them not to do. “If there’s no God, I don’t have to listen to my conscience. My conscience is just my mind playing tricks on me, mastered by the society of the feebleminded believers who think certain things are wrong. My conscience does not exist.”

The sad thing is that their belief in evolution has questions that they can’t answer themselves. I used to frustrate fifty year old adults when I was a teenager before I even read the Bible with my questions to them. I would ask them questions like “if evolution is real, then how come there are still cockroaches?” The best answer I got was “well some evolved and some didn’t.” I thought evolution was constant. Why would some of the species evolve but some not? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. There should not be dogs, birds, fish, mosquitos, or bears. If evolution really exists, then there should be at the most only a few species below us on Earth right now. Evolution is evolved. Evolved is evolution. Another question I asked was “if the Earth is four billion years old, is that enough time for an amoeba to make it all the way to a human considering there are well over a million different types of insect alone?” Seeing years of things they perceived to be facts erode on their faces was pretty sad to see. They didn’t like me much, those intellectuals, but they knew I was no fool. I heard one say “well there are different classes of species and that’s how it happened”. Well, how did they divide into those classes? What decision making ability was there to say “I’m going to turn into this now”? If a species adapts to that climate or environment, how do they change themselves? What creature was the first that said “I need a digestive system so I can nourish myself and excrete waste”, and then do it? If the first species to have nourishment from eating ate, they would die without a way to excrete the waste. That would be the end of that new species. For those who claim they are supergeniuses to the Nth degree, these questions they have not asked themselves doesn’t speak well of their thinking ability. Maybe they do think of those questions, but since this is their belief and it’s not in God, they’d rather just let it rest there and not wonder about things they don’t have the answers to. Willingly blinding themselves from their own accusation upon those they disagree, that Christians cannot think for themselves. Evolution is proof they cannot think very well. The true intellectual is the true fool. Even Bill Maher, who never fails to insult Christians, believes in evolution but admits something must have happened to get life started. DUH! Albert Einstein is known as maybe the smartest man in the last century, and he believed in God. He even went as far as to say that if anyone can look into the dark reaches of space and the glorious nature on Earth, and not realize there was a God to create it all is blind.

A favorite attack of these atheists and intellectuals upon those that believe in God say that there have been more people killed in the name of religion than anything else combined. Hogwash. Religion is just an excuse. Racism is at the crux of the matter when it comes to killing by the masses. Racism is the true reason. Religion, no matter what religion it is, is always the excuse. Before there were Irish Catholics and Protestants fighting eachother, there were the red and black Irish fighting. Before there were Sunni and Shiite, there were Arabs and Persians fighting. Look up your history. I know, again this is too easy to come up with, which reiterates my point that the true intellectual is the true fool.

Atheists say “how can you believe in something you can’t see?” I believe in love, but I’ve never seen love. I see the evidence of love everywhere, just as I see the evidence of God everywhere. Love cannot be seen by anyone. I know many atheists say that the Judeo-Christian God is invisible, like it’s written that He is somewhere in the Bible. Actually Moses saw God, but only from behind as God walked into the sanctuary as Moses and the Israelites roamed through the wilderness. Moses was not allowed to see God’s face, but he saw Him. Nowhere does it say God is invisible.

If an atheist is truly enquiring, then it’s good to talk about things of God. If you know things pretty assuringly, then speak with some authority. If you’re a product of traditional teaching, then I don’t suggest doing this because I can ask questions about your belief you cannot answer as well. This world is NOT seven thousand years old. Dinosaurs truly existed many thousands of years ago. Don’t let any traditional teacher fool you in stating otherwise. If an atheist is there to just rile you up and get under your skin by belittling what you believe in, then don’t cast your pearls. If they cannot admit the existence of their own conscience which is at no distance away from them, they aren’t ready to hear of the Truth far above their heads. God bless.

WHAT I HATE! PT. 4

I hate how all these behavioral "disorders" are called diseases. Alcoholism, drug addiction, OCD, ADHD, and bipolarism are not diseases in my world. I have real diseases. Things that affect me in a medical way without any choice I have made. I was born with a type of glomerulonephritis (most likely IgA), and it led to two more diseases called proteinuria and hematuria. I had no choice in either case. For years these diseases have unwittingly slowed me down to nearly a halt. I just found out a few years ago I had this. I can't do very much at all now. If I had some obsession with pulling my own hair out, I think I could get past that. Who can't stop pulling their hair? I suppose if you have nothing to do but think of pulling your hair, you'll eventually do it. These new "diseases" are for people who can afford them. I don't think starving Africans are saying "damn the food, I want to slice my own arm for a bit". My late grandfather was an alcoholic. Even though I didn't totally blame him for being one, he did make the choice to be one. He had a rough life and started drinking early when he was 12. When he was 10, because his mom was Greek and father had indian blood in him, the KKK tried to break into their home when his father was away. He was the oldest of the kids so he took a rifle and shot through the door, injuring one of those redneck jackasses. Try dealing with that as a 10 year old. His father also wasn't the kind of father one dreams of (a family trait), so that led to him depending on alcohol. I feel sorry for the guy for what he went through and for getting hooked so early. He was great to be around. A funny, friendly guy, but he did make that choice. After growing up in that environment and him being hooked on it so early, I do not blame him. Not everyone has an excuse such as that for depending on alcohol.
 

 
The newest craze disease is OCD. This is where someone who after taking five steps can't stop from slapping themselves senseless three times before continuing their walk. This is the silliest of the so-called diseases. Can you imagine the frontiersmen who were occupied with thoughts of "what's out there" and "will I find something to eat", then finding a deer and chasing it but having to stop at every seventh tree and do two spins around it before continuing their chase? "Damn I almost got him, too!" It must have been that last double-spin that created too much distance between him and the deer. Him and his family would have starved to death. I wish I was rich enough to afford these diseases. I'd even do an ad. "With my great luck and skill investing into real estate, now I can afford the diseases I always wanted but only dreamed of owning." ADHD is today's code for "child with too much energy". Schools have even made (I don't know how) parents give their children ritalin to keep them calm during school. Ritalin has been known to cause suicial tendencies in teens. Great drug to put your kids on. If I was a child today, who knows what they would have come up for me. Wait til you hear about the next possible disease. Psychiatrists are trying to call too much videogaming a disease. I'm not kidding. Instead of having parents take their kids away from the tv, they are wanting to call it a disease. This is also for those thirtysomethings who also play too much videogames. I really am not a conspiracy junkie, but there's something here. Why name all these diseases and then prescribe something for them immediately? Psychiatrists prescribe drugs for just about anything. "Dr., I have this problem with traveling at ni.." "I'll prescribe you some Happyalin." "Dr, I wasn't finished." "Like it matters. Here's your prescription." Psychiatrists must get kickbacks from the drug companies in some way. Maybe they have a lot of stock in that particular drug company. Think about it. Nearly everyone seems to be on something. Walgreens are popping up like zits on a teenager's face. CVS still finds room to expand at the same rate. Why? How? I am also on pills. Mine are to basically keep me living for the foreseeable future. Makes you wonder though why people WANT to take pills. I hate them. I absolutely hate them. What I hate more by far though is comparing someone who can't stop washing their hands immediately after hearing someone saying the word "storm" with me who was born with a deadly kidney disease. ADHD isn't on par with someone dying from leukemia. Give me a break. Sorry John Stossil.

WHAT I HATE! PT. 3

I hate ideologues. Mostly from the left wing, but I hate them all. The right-wing ideologues for the most part at least err in favor of the very own country they live in. Of course you have skinheads, KKK, militias, and jokes like that. No one can take them seriously. Hate to dash those people's hopes, but the South shall NOT rise again. The only reason why they have any existence in the media is when they march and people come protesting. I wish those protestors would just stay home and let them march alone. If nobody was around when they marched, including media... well they'd quit marching unless they're even dumber than I'm giving them credit for. The left-wing ideologues though have a lot of power and steam. Their stupidity isn't any lower or higher than those of the KKK or skinheads. Matter of fact they probably agree about more things than they care to think about or certainly admit. Maybe they should get married. They both hate jews. They both think America is a horrible country. They both think "the government" is after them. There isn't a lick of sense among any of them. Everything is a conspiracy. They think Israel shouldn't exist. They huddle in their own masses. Damn, they're one in the same! The "idiotlogues" on the left hate President Bush. That is their reason for being. They live to hate Bush. They wake up in the morning and before they even get themselves together kneejerk out a "I hate Bush!" Not sure what they're going to do for the next four years. You all heard them say "Bush stole the election in Florida". Yeah, he sure did. He made Al Gore look like a complete idiot during the whole campaign. It wasn't Al on his own. Get a grip. Bush didn't win or steal the election, Gore lost it. In the recount fiasco, Gore only wanted to recount in counties he was strong in. He wanted to throw the military absentee ballot vote out. That's mighty patriotic of you, Al. Here's another headline that the MSM didn't headline, they did count those votes. The media went there and counted all of those hanging chad votes and guess what happened? Bush increased his lead. That's right. Look it up. And you know the media was trying as hard as they could to make sure Al got the benefit of the doubt, whether the reason be they lean left or it would have been a huge story if the recount went in Al's favor. It didn't go in Al's favor.

 
Now Al Gore is a left-wing ideologue. He went 'coo-koo' for cocoa puffs. I mean spastic nuts. He was yelling at the top of his lungs "President Bush betrayed America!!!" Oh yeah Al? Please tell me what you were doing during the '96 campaign in a buddhist temple (buddhists take an oath of poverty mind you) taking money from officials in the Chinese government? His exact words... "it wasn't a fundraiser, I was there to raise funds" and not to be outdone is this quote "I wasn't there when the money was exchanged. I was in the bathroom". Well Al, why were you in the bathroom when the money was exchanged if you were there to raise funds? The first quote he says so casually innocent like "ehh so I took money for the DNC (democratic national committee) from a communist government who is by far from being friendly with us in a buddhist temple. What's the big deal?" I would call that betraying America, Al. Before he starts his next rant, remember buddhist temple. Bush during the debates in '00 should have just said "buddhist temple" and he would have won by a landslide. President Clinton took in a Chinese spy named John Huang and gave him top secret security clearance without any kind of background checks by the FBI or CIA as ordered by former head of DNC and then Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. In the investigation done by the CIA and Congress they found a 4 year plot that included Chinese agents taking advantage of lax security to get routine access for friends and associates to the highest levels of the administration, including the Oval Office. Huang met in the White House 70 times and in the Oval Office 10 times. The crux of these meetings was for the Chinese government to donate millions of dollars to Clinton and the DNC in return of retaining "most favored nation" status and trade deals. Most favored nation status meant billions of dollars to Beijing. Because of Clinton's greed, Chinese spies took more than what was put on the table. They infiltrated our top security secrets that dealt with US trade. The Chinese had advanced knowledge of America's negotiating positions in trade and economic talks as well as access to trade deals subsidized by America. Ron Brown died in a plane crash and then subsequently took the blame post mortem by administration officials. This story wasn't taken off some right-wing rag. This story was reported by the London Sunday Times. Now all of this is pertinent because of one question... Al, didn't you and Clinton betray America?
 
Ok he's done. Moving on to other idiotlogues. Left wing ideologues claim Bush lied to America over the weapons of mass destruction debacle in Iraq. They said since there were no weapons of mass destruction found (actually 500 cannisters of chemical weapons were found) that he lied about why we went to war. That's the biggest reason why Gore claimed Bush betrayed America. Gore's boss President Clinton knew from intelligence that Hussein had WMD's. England, Germany, Russia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia all had intelligence saying Saddam had WMD's. FRANCE EVEN SAID there were WMD's. FRANCE! This is going to be fun. I'm going to put you in charge of the United States. You are President John/Jane Doe. You just recently had 9/11 happen. We can't go on just as we have I'm sure you would admit after that. Everybody is telling you the weapons are there, including every international intelligence agency. You know the person who supposedly has these weapons has used them before. You know he hates America. You know he gives $20,000 to families of palestinian suicide bombers in Israel. You know he tried to assassinate a former President (former Pres. Bush). You know Zarqawi is in Baghdad. You know those comic book characters, Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax are still there. What do you do? Do you let France, Russia, and China continue to make money off the 'oil for food' scandal while letting Iraqis starve in return to keep Hussein in power, or do you take the safety of your own country in mind and deal with Hussein anyway? No doubt the war was waged in a very flawed manner. No doubt Rumsfeld sucked and refused his strategy wasn't working. No doubt we were bogged down, but you, President Doe must make that decision. What do you do? President Norman would take Hussein out. President Norman would also make sure we had enough troops to start with. President Norman would shut the Iraqi border promising to bomb any vehicle trying to come in instead of begging terrorists to come in to fight. President Norman wouldn't have fired the entire Iraqi army either. If all these things were done we might not even be there but for a few thousand troops for backup of the already trained Iraqi army. The decision had to be made though. Just from a human rights point of view, it should have been done. Can't cite the desire to go into places like Darfur for human rights and not do the same about the Iraqi people. They did find those 500 canisters of weapons. They said they weren't weapons grade, but I'm sure none of those people volunteered to have the stuff poured onto their arms. They did find traces of mustard gas in the Tigris right after we took over Baghdad. Abandoned Iraqi army barracks had chemical/biological suits, masks, and cyringes at the ready. Did they think we were going to use them? Uhhh no. Powell at the UN had a taped conversation between an Iraqi general and colonel where the general said the UN inspectors were going to be where the colonel is the next day. Showing they were tipped off by someone (shhhh, it was france... keep it on the downlow). The general told the colonel to make sure everything was hid and clean. What were they hiding? Iraqi playboys? I still believe they had WMD's.
 
Now let's move on to 9/11. I'm sure you heard the big conspiracy gaining steam that Bush and Cheney did it. Right now there is a group of over 550 professors and scholars that say the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition. That the Pentagon was hit by a missile. Here's some questions they don't have the answers to. Where was the control station of the demolition tower? Where were the secondary explosions we would have seen if indeed it was a controlled demolition? Where are the people from Flight 77? Lastly, what in the blue hell are these people smoking? That's not marijuana they're smoking. I think they went straight to drying Ajax and papering that up to toke. These people actually find it comedic that the story is that 19 hijackers did it. They claim there's no concrete evidence Bin Laden was behind it, even though he admitted it and martyred those same 19 people. Maybe they were just picked at random for Bin Laden to praise. I don't think there is concrete evidence that smoking causes lung cancer, is there? Even though it is common sense. If they do, they just supposedly had this concrete evidence not too long ago. Is there concrete evidence there are stars? Maybe those lights are just heavenly fireworks. Maybe the stars are just a Jewish conspiracy where the things that look like stars are actually cameras operated by Israeli intelligence. These people who believe in that manure-filled conspiracy are supposedly smart people. Intellectuals. People who think they can outthink anyone and anything. They hate Bush so much they come up with peyote-laced theories. And heck since they're so smart, if they can think up something with their ginormous brains, it must be fact. Whatever thoughts and stances they come up with are 4 things: anti-American, anti-Israeli, no wiff of common sense (they can outthink common sense remember?), and void of facts anywhere. If you want to argue with an intellectual and win, but don't feel you're very smart, just do one thing and you'll kick their butt.... stick to facts. Know the facts and you'll very quickly frustrate them into calling you racist, stupid, idiotic, or whatever their tantrum allows. What is bad about these people is they have power. They have classes to teach. They have books to write. They have news stories to put on. They have pictionary to play. They are prominent in the democratic party. Michael Moore sat next to former Pres. Jimmy Carter at the '04 Convention. They have power, and a lot of it. One of the worst I heard was from a left-wing radio show host Randi Rhodes say that the London airport terror plot foiled in England wasn't a plot at all. She claimed that Bush called Blair and told Blair to just arrest some muslims and interrupt their summer vacations. Then she asks enthusiastically "how can anyone not see through this?" She must use more than the 10% of her brain that we mental midgets are alotted. I didn't realize how inferior my mind was until I heard her speak. I mean wow. She must have the HAL of brains. This woman must have some power since she had a radio show. Who was paying this super-genius right? They do have power and their purpose issssss.........? I don't know. Other than potentially harming America I have not a clue because it's so insane I can't fathom it. I'm not smart compared to someone capable of using 75% of their brain. Maybe it's just to make America a huge socialist state. Problem is if we become one, our power will go away. Maybe that's it! AHA!!!!! I found the answer! I hope 40 years from now a terrorist attack doesn't happen because (other than the obvious loss of life) I bet Bush and Cheney hatched the plot with the help of those darn Jews in Israel. I'm surprised not one intellectual has yet to come up with this conspiracy: "the Americans secretly funded the Nazis so America would have an excuse to come up with the atom bomb and the Jews were ok with dying by the millions so then they can have their own country". Analyze it. It's anti-American. It's anti-Israeli. It hasn't a drop of common sense. It has no wiff of fact anywhere. It's a true intellectual, left-wing conspiracy. Damn stupid idiots.

WHAT I HATE! PT. 2

I can't stand modern society. When did it become ok to be a jerk? I mean people are real jerks nowadays because most feel, correctly I might add, that other people are too "highminded" and "evolved" to confront them for getting out of line. With that knowledge, the jerks came out of the woodwork. What do they say is their excuse for being a jerk? "I'm just being honest"... and people fall for that. "Oh I like him, he's just honest. He says what he thinks." Noooo, he's being a jerk! When are people gonna take a stand and start kicking their tails again? I don't mean life threatening injuries or using weapons. I just mean an honest to goodness BUTT KICKING! Maybe if these jerks thought there might be a consequence to pay for bumping into someone's frail grandma and saying "get out of the way you ole bag", maybe... just maybe they'll say "sorry, excuse me ma'am". I don't know why it became so uncivil to kick someone's butt who deserved it, but I think the "day of the buttkicking" is long overdue to return. When that day comes, the world will rejoice! We can walk around with smiles on our faces again, and the Legion of Jerks will return under the rocks from which they crawled out from. HALLELUJAH!

WHAT I HATE! PT. 1

Originally written June 16, 2006 on Yahoo.
 
I hate how people twist words or phrases to suit themselves so they don't sound so horrible. The absolute worst example of that is "I made a mistake". How often have we heard that one eh? I mean in the media by murderers, rapists, molestors, and their ilk. "Listen, I know I killed that family of four and raped the wife. It was a mistake. I know that now. I'm sorry. You have no idea of what I'll go through the rest of my life. The nightmares I'll have and have had. That should be my punishment. Don't destroy another life. What will society benefit for from my death? Is it revenge you want? Go ahead and take it then. Just know you're as guilty as I am." Foreman of the jury: "we the jury find the defendant guilty of all charges." Judge: "even though the jury has recommended death in your case, I am going to suspend your sentence. Finally a convicted murderer gets it. That's what I've wanted to hear in all my ten years on the bench. Thank you sir for opening people's eyes. It's not about punishment. It's about moving on after making a mistake. I wish you luck with the rest of your life. I'm sorry you'll have to have these nightmares." If you keep up with the news, that's not that far of an exaggeration. A judge in Ohio let a man go totally free after the man admitted to molesting two boys. That was just a mistake. A mistake that will scar two boys for life, but a mistake in the judge's eyes it is. This Judge Connor also has been arrested several times for drunk driving and got away with it, so far be it from him to punish anyone. The boys were twelve and five years old. Judge Cashman sentenced a man to only 60 days for molesting a 7 year old girl over the period of four years. He said he didn't believe in punishment for child molestors. That he needed "treatment". Next time I hear someone say a molestor needs treatment I'm gonna pull my hair out, and I have nice hair. Only treatment that is suitable to me is death. After a huge public outcry led by Bill O'Reilly, Cashman sentenced the man, Mark Hulett to three years after "consideration". Three years is still way too light. We hear this kinda thing all the time in the news now. A woman or child gets molested and/or killed after a person was convicted already of a similar crime or even a slew of crimes. Jessica Lunsford was molested and killed in such a brutal way it boggles the mind how a human is capable of such a thing. The killer, John Couey was arrested 24 times in his life and already had two sex offense convictions. Twice convicted of breaking into homes and molesting girls. You read that right. He should never have been let out. Jessica's Law requires 25 years for molesting a child twelve years or younger. That's a start, but I don't think that is long enough and the age is too low. What should a molestor of a thirteen year-old girl get? Isn't she as precious as a twelve year old? Isn't she just as innocent? It's all in this "we all make mistakes" mentality that allow these things to happen. How many times did someone say they liked President Clinton because he was like them, making mistake after mistake. "I don't want a president that's lived a clean life" I've heard a few times. What? You want a total lack of morals person to be President because he reminds you of you? Spare the rest of us normal people please. I'm wondering when people are gonna differentiate a "mistake" from a despicable act. A mistake is done accidentally or there's a brief period; just a lapse of knowing right and wrong, and that's the way it should be. Looking at another woman's cleavage in the presence of your woman is a mistake. Raping that woman at knifepoint and then killing her is not. Wake up people!

I HATE TODAY'S MUSIC

Written on August 16, 2007 on Yahoo blog:
 

 
I hate today's music. Man does music nowadays suck! I mean of all genres. I've never heard music so bad in my entire life. And everyone seems to just go along with it because that's what is being played. I really think a group of seven year olds with a teenage lead singer would catch on if they played it on the radio. What are you people listening to? These bands nowadays seriously sound like someone got a guitar for Christmas, and then got a record contract by the time New Year's came around. It's void of any melody, skill, and certainly musicianship. Who can't strum fast? That's as easy as it gets. "If we turn it up way loud and strum fast they will think we're good. Oh! We got to hop around like we're on hot coals too." Fallout Boy... it doesn't get any worse than them. I kept wondering who Fallout Boy was because I kept hearing the name. I knew they probably were some sucky new band. Then when I was flipping through the channels I stopped at SNL and a band was playing. They were so bad I thought it was a skit. I'm not kidding. I thought it was a skit. Then it kept going. Then I thought "I bet this is Fallout Boy". I was right. I started laughing to myself like a lunatic because I got it right. I knew this Fallout Boy was going to be awful. I just didn't know how awful they were going to be. How can anyone listen to this? I'll give my 11 year old nephew a guitar and you can listen to him in awe too. But they just typify bands of today. Most bands sound the same. They start a song real fast, then slow it down and have the singer whine like a middle school boy who got turned down for a dance, then they play real fast like they're throwing a tantrum. Repeat. The music sounds so cheap that their cd's should go directly to dollar stores. The other band lead singers sound like they just have scratchy throats. One word..... RICOLA. Who can't make that sound? I am doing it right now. Yet, I'm still dirt poor and not singing in front of a crowd with women chanting my name. Some things just aren't right.

Then there's hard metal. Bunch of guys with really tiny wienies who obviously aren't happy about it. Why else would they be so angry? They can get groupies who fall for their shtick. Their parents probably have a lot of money even if they don't. I'm not buying that "no one understands me" crap. I really think they suffer from Napoleon Syndrome below the belt. What's with the grunting too? I can't understand a damn thing they say, and don't tell me you can cause I know you'd be lying. Kerr bluh rar dun kruh rooooohhhk!!! Know what I just said translated from death metal? A thing of beauty is a joy forever. See I could have said anything there. I could have said "dad's shoes taste good". The head bobbing I really believe is their way of just seeing if their brain is still inside their skulls. The music is so mindless that they do this to make their brain rattle. Just the brain's way of saying "yep, I'm still here".

Then you have rap. It's no wonder why rap is one letter away from being CRAP. I'm tired of hearing about tek 9's, some hos you have, and especially how you have Bentleys. Even if you do, I know you'll be liquidating them all within two years. You're going to have a fire sale that would make the Florida Marlins jealous. Don't give me the "I'm just keepin' it real, you know what I'm sayin'? That's how it is in da hood" routine. I used to live in DA HOOD for fourteen years, and it's not like that at all. I've never seen a Bentley in Gary. I've never seen pimps backhanding their hos either. I've never even seen a cop abuse a black man in da hood. For those who don't know, Gary, Indiana is just a smaller Detroit. Probably worse. To give you a clue as to how bad it is in Gary, they threw a parade and all night bash when they regained the "most violent city per capita in the world" title. That's rough. Can rap talk about something else? Great, we know you have money, hos, a cell phone, a pager, Bentleys, and a mansion. We get it. Then some other rapper two years from now will buy what you have because you're played out and you have to pay for your bills and taxes. Wait! I sense another song there for you about how "the man" has brought another black man down. In a failed comeback attempt you can do it on your tours of fairs and store openings. I also can't stand that rappers start their song by saying "yeeya" 25 times. "Yeeya uh yeeya uh yeeya uh yeeya uh ............. yeeya uh". Great skill. And why do they always need someone with them? Can't you do it on your own? "Hey Jimi Hendrix, you do the fretboard while another guy strums the strings for you." Could you imagine? Jimi would shove his guitar up the backside of the moron who suggested such a thing. Always it's someone featuring someone. You can't do it on your own? It's like a kid who doesn't want to walk around the house in the dark without someone holding his hand to get a glass of water. Pathetic.

Now with country music. This soulless version of the blues is for people who think 'rhythm' and 'passion' are the Antichrist and False Prophet. I hate country music. Always have. I do have an ear for talent so I used to hear some talent in country music. Not anymore. Now I hear wuss after wuss literally crying their lyrics. Why oh why does every country song have to mention a city or state in the south? We get it, you're a hick. It must kill country musicians that Cheyenne is on the north side of the country. Tim McGraw is putrid. I've never heard a whining like that in all my life. Only thing I can compare his whining to is when a woman has showed up on Maury for the fourth time to see if she finally found the man that is the father of her baby, then finding out he isn't. "Waaah, there's only seven candidates left." What is with this effeminate way of posing that all country male musicians do? They all wear jeans, a cowboy hat, and then they stand with their hands at their belt with their heads right on top of their right shoulder. Every one of them does it. That's fruitier looking than The Wiggles. Why do they wear cowboy hats? I know most of them haven't been near a damn horse or cow. Some musicians are from Australia and Canada. Next, the French will start getting into country music. "Hey Gilles, lez go to ehhhmerica and be zi country musishiown. It's so ... how do they say ... easy."

I don't like hearing Buck Owens, but I hear the talent there. He was enormously talented. LL Cool J I don't like to hear, but I hear the talent. U2 I don't particularly like. Thirty years ago they'd be just an above-average band, but since music is so bad today, they sound like the greatest thing ever. I do hear the talent there though. I'm just making it clear that I don't think certain musicians suck because I don't like them. I say all the time "I don't like them, but they are talented". When I was growing up during the late 80s, there were the hair bands. I hated them too. Poison blew. Warrant was even worse. But them together killed the hairband movement. Thank you, Warrant. Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana changed all that. They had talent. They were waaaaay overrated, but they had talent. They brought in a new type of music. People that had no skill with their instruments, but played really loud. Damn you, Warrant! What music do I like to listen to? Since I was in high school I liked the older music. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, CCR, ACDC, ZZ Topp, Jimi Hendrix, and musicians like that. Go ahead and argue with that talent. Tell me that Fallout Boy is better than Led Zeppelin. If you do, then you're IQ is on the negative side. Please people, demand better music. I know record sales are at an all time low, so that's a good sign. Keep it up. Demand more talent. Bankrupt these record companies until they realize "ok, they realize all of this sucks. We've been had. What's Jimmy Page doing? Can we dig Hendrix up?"

RACIST BRINKS COMMERCIALS

Yes, Brinks commercials are racist. Why are they racist you ask? Because according to Brinks, minorities don't break into homes or have their homes broken into. Everyone who's had their homes broken into in those commercials are white, and everyone who breaks into them are white too. One of those little anecdotal things that make you think "hey, he's right." Maybe to Brinks minorities don't break into homes or have their homes broken into, but being someone who's lived in Gary, IN for nearly half of his life I can tell you that yes it does happen. Our home was broken into. Next door neighbor had their home broken into. Two homes across the street were broken into. Being that my family were the only white ones on the street, it's safe to assume minorities broke into and had their homes broken into. Trust me, it happens.
 
The commercials are so bad too. They make sure to let everyone know that the person that is breaking into the home is white. One of the commercials, this guy broke into this home where the mother thought the daughter was trying to get in. He busts in the door and just stands there. What many do not know is if you have the captions on, even though he doesn't say anything verbally the caption says "hey, I'm white and I just broke into your home." Then he hears the alarm going off. I didn't know this, but apparently to crooks that alarm puts the fear into them like someone getting caught in the lights at a POW camp while trying to escape in WWII. In another commercial, one guy stops and ties his shoe while looking and nodding at the man leaving his driveway in broad daylight. Once the coast is clear, he puts on his hood (a little too late for that, dontcha think?), and then looks menacingly at ..................... NOBODY! He snarls, huffs and puffs and looks ticked off, but no one is around to see that he is one bad apple with a worm in it that has a chip on his shoulder. Then he kicks down the front door, again this is in broad daylight. Once that alarm goes off he runs for the hills like the woman pulled out a shotgun. If seeing the man of the home and making sure he had a good look at his face, and busts down the frontdoor in the brightness of daylight isn't going to scare him away, I don't think an alarm going "beep beep beep" will. Call me crazy.
 
The absolute worse though is when there is a man at home and someone breaks into their home. Those are the worst because the man is always an uberwimp to the 99th power. The one where the couple is in bed inside their new home and they hear a noise. He goes to check it out and the door is broken open. He runs back to the room and slid headfirst ala Rickey Henderson under the bed only leaving a shivering sheet in his wake. Okay, he didn't really do that but he might as well have. They always make sure the man is some white wuss scared out of his wits and wouldn't even dare telling someone to stop raping his wife, so that way the man looks incapable of defending a home, but a noise box can. Every guy home in those commercials is a bonafide pantywaste. I think I heard one man say "here, take my wife. Just don't hurt me, Mr. White Homerobber."
 
Here's another question. Brinks calls you up right when those alarms go off. What if the robber answers the phone? "Oh yeah, everything is just fine here. I just tripped the alarm. Stupid me. I am blonde you know." All the while having a knife in his hand and motioning the woman to keep quiet. "Sure you don't want me to send someone over?" "NO! uh I mean no, that won't be necessary. Everything is fine here."
This is one of those blogs that I write that's half-serious and half-joking around. I do have my own warped sense of humor, and this blog is no exception. I do have to say these commercials do annoy me. I realize that because of racial sensitivities and PC gone mad that if they had just one minority break into a home that they would never hear the end of it. How about a minority having their home broken into? Is that too much to ask? And please quit making the men look like Judy Garland in a dark forest looking for lions, tigers, and bears. I haven't seen a fear in the eyes like that since I saw Jon Voight on his knees in "Deliverance". If someone breaks into my home, it will be them that will need an alarm. Maybe they will have one of those Life Alert neck alarms. "Help, this insane guy is beating my a$$! I broke into his home but he's gone totally crazy. Why did it have to be this home? Oh damn! He's got a machete! There goes my leg! Oh nooooo!"

'TIS THE SEASON

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 'tis the season to hear of stories of people and government alike who wish to take the Christ out of Christmas and discard traditional celebrations which have done no one any harm for hundreds of years. The ACLU (Anti-Christian Legislation Union) has gone town to town suing on behalf of nobody to take down all references to Christmas as a religious holiday. Usually it's small towns who can't afford going to court to explain why public displays of Christianity during Christmas season is fine. Since they don't have the money, the small town legislators usually cave in to the ACLU. More attacks on small town America. The ACLU was once an organization that really fought for individual rights. Now their whole existence is based on tearing Christianity from the clutches of America's strong arms. Much alike the NOW and other women's rights groups have evolved over time from being organizations that fought for women's rights to only fighting for abortion rights, the ACLU has evolved into a despicable organization that has become small town America's schoolyard bully. I can just picture an ACLU lawyer on the morning of Black Friday getting his coffee and paper with a huge smile on his face as he kisses his wife. She asks "why such a big smile?" He says "it's Christmas season. It's time to take away a town's right to celebrate it how they see fit. It's going to be a good season this year. I love my job."
 
The ACLU has been silent on Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher's case. As everyone knows, Joe asked the Obamessiah a question to which Obama gave the wrong answer to. Helen Jones-Kelley, the head of Ohio Dept. Of Jobs And Family Services looked into Joe's personal information SUPPOSEDLY without consent. She has been suspended with pay. She at first said she only looked at a couple of things of Joe's. The facts proved otherwise. She was obsessed with Joe The Plumber as was the media. Just as scornful as the media, too. Jones-Kelley, a democrat who gave the maximum to Obama's campaign violated Wurzelbacher's rights, but she wasn't the only one in the state of Ohio. Matter of fact, I'm sure we'll never get the full story of how many looked or who was behind it, but you can rest assured you won't hear a peep from the ACLU on this matter. Joe said on "The O'Reilly Factor" that the ACLU has not called him since he's considering on suing Jones-Kelley and the state of Ohio. If he does, he will win. He definitely should. That's outrageous, but what can you expect from those on the left? "We'll fight for individual rights unless you don't agree with our views."
 
I'm waiting in the future for an idiot to propose dumb solutions to the whole "attack on Christmas" problem that they think would make both sides happy. Perhaps someone will propose that they change the spelling of Christmas to "Chrismas". "If you take the 't' out, we can all celebrate the holiday in peace!" I'm sure the secular-progressives would love that idea. People on the fence who don't fight for anything in their lives would probably go along with it. Those damn French-Americans. Yeah, they'd be okay with it. The rest of America would be ticked off, which would be about two-thirds of the population. As the ACLU and the far-left says, the minority rules. They'll also replace nativity scenes with people from all races in peace symbol t-shirts surrounding a baby Obama in the manger. Yeah, the ACLU would go for that. The media will be the ones to propose the idea. The stealing of the baby Obama from a nativity scene would receive the death penalty. Child molestors and murderers don't deserve it, but anyone disparaging the Obamessiah will have it coming. "You stole the baby Obama?! How sick and low can you be?" "Oh, I had sex with this seven year old once too." "Whoa, let's not skate over this stealing the baby Obama thing so quickly!"

THREE REASONS TO BAILOUT AUTO INDUSTRY

1. Because we bailed out the bank/house lending industry. Just from a perspective of common sense, the autoworkers deserve more than bankers and corporate greedheads who get a HUGE amount of blame for the current economic catastrophe being bestowed upon the American people. To show how greedy these jackasses are, the money they are getting from the last bailout they're not even using for people who are seeking loans. That's what the intent was for. To keep the American people having the ability to get loans for college, cars, and homes. Instead these sick jerks are buying out smaller banks with the money. That's one of the crucial parts of their failure to begin with. They bought out other banks and their bad loans until they hit rock bottom. Now they're setting us up for even a bigger fall. One bank even bought out the local Horseshoe Casino boat in NW Indiana. That's money going to the right place. Many people don't get loans to keep the economy moving, but the bankers get to buy a casino. If the banker jerkoffs deserve a bailout, then the auto industry and the autoworkers definitely deserve one.

2. Even though there is a lot to blame with how the Big 3 have done business, such as when gas prices were starting to go up and the war on terror possibly making oil prices surge on their own without the help of people affecting the futures market, they decided to make bigger cars and trucks. Gee, that makes sense. They make cars with all of these extras that take up fuel such as seat warmers, thirty-five computers running every nook and cranny, six dvd players, as well as an IMAX and wonder why people are buying the more fuel efficient cars. I remember in the early 80's (yes I'm that old or I was paying attention at a very young age) that cars routinely were getting well over forty miles per gallon. Has technology gone backwards or has the auto industry decided it's more important to have a family room on four wheels? It's both. Technology hasn't gone backwards, but they haven't moved forward either. The Japanese automakers made barebones cars that were designed to do one thing... take people to their destination. What a novel concept! They were fuel efficient. They were crappy, but they were fuel efficient. Now they're still more fuel efficient and their quality surpasses the American auto industry's product.

Having said all of that, no one could foresee the screw-up that Bush and the republicans have managed to lay onto the American people. "Let's have two wars, cut taxes, and spend like we won a shopping spree at the mall!" Whether you want to say the war in Iraq was a mistake or not, it doesn't matter. I don't think it was, personally speaking. It was waged flawfully, if that's even a word. It did cost a lot of money no matter how you look at it. So Bush wanted to cut taxes on top of paying for that war. Fine. Cut taxes. Nothing wrong with people keeping more of their own money in my opinion. The killer though was the spending. The republicans out-demmed the democrats when it came to spending. The republicans took the dems to school in showing how much money they could spend. Bush being incompetent said "sure I'll okay it all. You need it to keep yourselves elected." Because of that we had to borrow money from our friends Saudi Arabia and China among others. Then the dollar dropped. The pride and joy of America's capitalistic strength, the dollar, was shooting downward so fast I thought it was going to even up with the peso. It's nearly the same value as the Canadian dollar. Disgraceful. The British pound and the euro outvalue the dollar by leaps and bounds because the republicans screwed up so badly. That was bound to affect the American people's buying power, and the auto industry was hit very hard because of it. Cars aren't cheap. Bush and the republicans who forgot their Contract With America are the ones who draw most of my ire since they were supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility. HA!
 
3. The auto industry is the backbone of our economy. There are more than three million workers that work for the Big 3. Failure doesn't mean that they all lose their jobs, but many will be lost no doubt. Pensions could be wiped out for retirees. People who've worked their entire lives putting cars on the road and being the pride and joy of the American work force. People who deserve better than that. My grandfather worked for LTV Steel for much of his life. They filed for bankruptcy and he didn't see another dime from his retirement pension. My grandfather served in two wars including WWII and this is how the American government treated him. They let LTV forsake their responsibilities to people who made them money. The big wigs wound up making out big time from the bankrupt company by taking home millions, but again it's the American worker that got screwed. We're better than that, aren't we? What are we going to do with retired workers who all of the sudden have very little or nothing? They still have to eat. They still need their medication. They still have lives to live. Are you going to tell a seventy-five year old to get a part-time job so he can make ends meet? I didn't think so.
 
So whether there are some concessions the UAW have to make or the Big 3 execs have to make, we will see. Maybe to help out, the American goverment might want to...  oh, I don't know... lower their damn taxes! How about that? Maybe if they weren't paying so much in taxes they could afford to do more. Hire more. People look to the Japanese auto industry that have factories in America and see how profitable they are, but at the same time their workers aren't earning as much money. I don't think that's right either. The execs make more than the President of the United States makes. Why are they able to make that much money while the industry is strapped for cash? Maybe that should be a concession. That should definitely be a stipulation for a bailout. I was against the lending bailout in principle because they were the ones who got us in this mess on their own. The government might have helped in forcing them to give bad loans, but the were all too eager to do so because they were making money. That is until recently. The government gave them their bailout but didn't give stipulations. They just said "here". They didn't tell banks not to buy other banks, which they should have. They should have told the banks that this is for giving loans. That's what they told the American people when trying to sell this. The American people weren't fooled and were proven right. The difference here is that this directly affects millions of people in an immediate fashion. The auto industry affects so many other industries, including the steel industry. Another backbone of the American economy potentially collapsing. Where do the bailouts end? I don't know. I do know if Bush and the republicans would have kept their spending down, then this wouldn't have happened to the auto industry. It would have happened to the lending industry no doubt. But the auto industry would have been fine. They shouldn't have to pay for incompetent politicians.
