Danger, Danger, America, Danger!


      In the old days of the late 1960’s, on television we had some great shows. Among these were things like, Mutual of Omahas Wild KingDom. MaCales Navy, The Bionic Man and Woman, The Wonderful World of Disney and  more. We also had space fantasy shows, like Star Trek, and of course Lost in Space. Well, the time has come to face the Lost in Space we didn’t want to face, the 2012 election cycle for President!

In Lost in Space back then, they had a robot who would run around protecting lil Will Robinson from danger by screaming widely, Danger, Danger, Will Robinson, danger!. This kept lil Will safe and protected him from being hurt or killed. Well America I am not that robot, but, I do believe we face great danger today in this Presidential Race of 2012.

As the Republican Convention gets set to start on Sunday the 26th of August, we face danger, from the Republican Party. It’s Nominee will be Willard Mitt Romney for President and Paul Ryan for Vice President. We do not need these individuals in office to ruin what is left of America and tear down the rest of the economy we have left. Sadly many American‘s look at this ticket on the Republican Side and think they will save America, false they can’t even save their own bills in congress or pass them, nor can they lead anywhere, but to a place I call Lost in Space. At least the producers of such old shows as Lost in Space and Star Trek, had a vision of where we may go one day, these two have a vision of destroying what America has and making themselves and other rich people richer.

 Lets give tax breaks to the rich and make the poor pay for them, right! Lets leave our troops in Afghanistan and continue to police their country, right! Lets kill OBama Care and destroy the one thing that may save and make America’s health care affordable to its seniors and to all! Right! Come on Folks, these two have no jobs plan that will work, they have no economic plan to help us and they want to kill the benefits and organizations we now have that help the public.

As their convention gets closer I stop to think just how Lost in Space these two really are. Stop and think America! Who would block women’s rights to have abortions in cases of rape or to protect a woman’s life? Who would want to over turn Roe vs Wade? Who doesn’t care if the U.S. Post Office goes under, that has been with us since the days of Ben Franklin, the Republicans is who! Who wants to take benefits from the elderly, such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and let them disappear from our lives, leaving the elderly nothing to fall back on in their old ages, the Republicans. Sadly, too many Americans belive this crap and listen to these Republicans talk it and they try to sell it to us and some do buy, watch on election day!

As we continue toward a fateful election come November America, we have to visualize what we may become and strive to attain it but making the right choices. This is not the America of the 1960’s, 70’s or 80’s or even 90’s anymore! We have deleted our political clout, we have deleted our resources and our abilities to recover is less than ever before. Is it not time America to pull back from policing other nations, fighting other nations wars and protect ourselves here at home? Is it not time we found manufacturing to employ our citizens and put them back to work? Is it not time to turn the corner in the Housing Markets, Job Markets and make America great once more? Well I believe it is and President Obama can do it given the time to do so. You can’t dig a hole for eight long years every minute of everyday and then ask someone to refill that hole and build upon the new land he put in,in half the time can you America?

 So, I say to you Americans, across out great country, Danger, Danger America Danger, don’t Elect the Republicans! They only want to make more for themselves as they hurt us middle class and lower class and broke citizens!

Remember my fellow Americans, a vote for the Republicans is a vote for Danger, and Destruction! A Vote for president Obama is a vote for hope and a future!

As the robot in Lost In Space said, Danger, Danger Will Robinson Danger, well America I say, Danger, Danger America, Danger, steer away from The Republicans!

 

August, less than 4 Months to Election


August, less than 4 Months to Election.

August, less than 4 Months to Election


      August is usually the month we all look forward to as adults as the month we prepare for out children to go back to school, and what ever preparations we must make for winter in the North here at least. Yet, every four years we as adult americans, must make a choice as to which way we want the Great Republic of America to go, direction wise by picking a leader for the next four years. It is never an easy decision, no matter who it has been in my life time for sure. I was born during the Eisenhower Administration and survive till today. But I have lived through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regan Bush, Clinton, Bush, and now Obama. But were these men all the right choices for their moments in time in America’s and the world’s history? That shall forever be the question, will it not?

When was the last time, living in America was affordable and profitable and good for our families, in all ways, how long ago, must we look back before we find that? Well, many have overlooked past Presidents who through force of will, personality and out right skills led correctly, for we tend to forget them don’t we, and live in the moment so to say.

Go back though folks over the years and President’s in my life time alone and you will find only certain ones that stand out for certain reasons and others that american history would like to overlook and forget.

I know very little about Eisenhower in office, but as a General he did lead greatly and proudly. Kennedy’s term in office was far too short for all of us who lived during his days. He stood down the Russians, but created a mess in The Bay of Pigs, He fought the Civil Rights war and died before his time. Johnson picked up Kennedy’s Civil Rights mantle and moved it forward, but involved us deeper in Vietnam and almost destroyed us over it. Nixon opened up China, Russia, and pulled us from Vietnam, but in the end messed up in Watergate. Yet he still was the last man under which we paid smaller taxes, less then a buck for bread and food prices were good under and jobs too. So, he wasn’t all bad was he?

We went from Nixon to his Vice president, Ford. While Mr’s Ford tried desperately to present a forceful figure in the White House as a Leader, he failed to do so because of his accident prone element of his life. Then we had Carter, a quiet determined man who warned us of an energy crisis, failed to complete certain military mission he started and tried to show America the way not with brawn but brains. His time in office was far too short also. Regan came next and under him we thought we had strong leadership, the truth was not his leadership, but the leadership of his wife Nancy Regan. We all now know Ronald Regan suffered from mental disease , Alzheimer’s right after he was reelected for a second term. So we do owe a large thanks to some great First Ladies too in this country. After Regan came Clinton a man who was a leader, but had a sexual problem of chasing young women. He got caught with his pants down so to say, and impeached for it. But in the end he was also the last man to balance the US Budget and leave office with us in the black instead of red. Yes I know ya all gonna say what about the first Bush, well, he will be forgotten in history just asI almost forgot him here, for he didn’t make any big changes or efforts to do anything. except lie about raising taxes, did he?  And we all know what the second Bush did, entering us into wars we didn’t need to be in, driving us from the black to the red in deficits we can’t afford and no one can fix.What was the sense of electing him anyway, I know i didn’t vote for him, who did?. Sadly today, almost four years after the younger Bush left office those who did vote for him, don’t want to admit it publicly!

Now we have Obama who came in, in the red, with an economy that sucked and lost jobs left and right and more problems to get us out of than any other President, since the ones who brought us through wars. He has struggled to produce jobs, and try to balance the budget, because it took his predecessor 8 years to bury us, can we really expect him to dig us out in four? Wake up America, there is no way he could do it with Congress Against him from day one. So here we sit now, having to make a new choice in November, as to who will lead us next.

Before you choose between President Obama and Willard Mitt Romney this November Americans, please stop and think and listen to them both. What visions do they have for America, what concrete plans have we seen from either man regarding jobs,the economy both here at home and in the world, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security,disability payments to Veterans and to disabled people. And then what plans have we  seen to save the U.S.want a President killing Roe V Wade and telling you how to take care of your body, who won’t allow you to abort a rapist’s baby if your raped, or to terminate a pregnancy if it will kill you? I don’t think so, Obama wouldn’t go there on the abortion issue, because he knows women would get pissed and need an option.

As we now close in on the Political Conventions of 2012, we need to get definite answers and plans from both men for each party. We can’t afford not to know where they will lead us or what they will do next. We need to know up front so we can make an educated and smart choice come November. Stop them both, make them face the real issues, jobs, economy,education, healthcare, social security, medicare and Medicaid, and yes even the possible end of the U.S. Postal Service. Sadly we the American people have to elect a President who can lead and lead in the right directions to make it better for our future generations. I believe that man is Obama not Romney, but that’s me, to each their own and lets see what happens in November I say.

Here We go America! Election Time is ahead!


     As Americans begin to scamper, beg, borrow and try to survive because of lack of jobs, rising food and gas prices and more, the Republican Convention begins to get underway soon. As the Republicans get ready to name Willard Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan, we need to look for the truths in this election.

The biggest choice we will all make in November on Election day, concerns what will happen to the job market, the economy, healthcare costs, loss of social Security benefits, Medicaid and Medicare and programs seniors depend upon. The cost will rise if the Republicans are indeed elected and you can believe it. The benefits will go down, the cost of taking care of our elderly and disabled will rise also. Sadly, we don’t need lower taxes for the rich, and higher taxes for the middle class and poor, we all know that. Lets keep the taxes down on us lower-income people and make the rich pay more I say.

Another thought to consider here and think about is, who will save the Postal service and such organizations that have been in America since the Revolution?  Are these jobs going too, and will we keep sending jobs overseas? Will we keep fighting other people’s wars too? I hope the hell not! The Afghans are killing American Service Members now, just for being there, yet we try to defend them and police their country, the time has come to stop now and bring our people home.

I have watched the commercials from both parties, the accusations, the sneering, the bad mouthing and more and grow tired of it. If you want to be President tell the truth, be honest, be up front and most of all be humble! Stop lying, and telling stories about the other party and it’s nominees, please. It is beginning to look like two elementary children in a school play ground fighting over things neither fully understand. Lets get the issues straight, and speak plain english please.!

 

Election Anger and False Statements


Election Anger and False Statements.

Election Anger and False Statements


      As an Independent Voter, who is not a member of either Party, I tire of this bickering, and attacking each other from both parties and candidates. The Republicans attack the current administration and then in turn Obama attacks the Republicans and Romney. What we have here is not an election run by candidates who are adults, respectful and talking issues to the public and the citizens of America, but, two grown men acting like children on a playground in Elementary School. I can do better than you,no , you can’t I can. It feels more like a scene out of the Family Circus in the Comics page in the Sunday Paper!

Romney did not kill anyone and Obama is not going to break Medicare and Medicaid either, The Post Office and the system will go down because of electronic media such as e-mail, social programs like Facebook and more. Unless someone stops borrowing from it and gives it an infusion of cash or credit to continue. The Postal Service has been in effect and working in America since the days of Ben Franklin and our founding fathers in America, why are politicians and men in government going to let it fade?

And what of Social Security Ladies and Gentlemen? Is Congress going to continue to borrow from the money we pay in for our elderly days, till there is nothing left for anyone to have? We have Senior Citizens who have nothing to live on but these checks each month, they depend on Medicare and Medicaid also to pay for medicines and treatments!. So what happens if all of the above goes because politicians can’t figure out how to save it all, or how to refinance it all? Does this mean my children and their children and future generations of Americans can end up living like those in third world nations, hungry, homeless, sleeping in caves and tents and boxes? When will Congress wake up?

I have heard false accusations, false statements, lies and rhetoric from both sides so far now. when will someone tell us the truth Americans? When will one candidate stand up and admit our economy is failing, our job markets suck, because we killed off blue-collar work and factories! When will a politician stand up and tell us Unemployment will not be funded forever and will run out on us all?  Please tell us, Mr. President and Mr. Romney, when will our politicians who represent we the people, actually act and make some positive changes to create jobs, increase the GNP and move America forward once again? When will America be able to compete once more and be on top of the world markets? When will we stop fighting other nations wars and getting our service members killed for stupid reasons?  I have heard enough of the anger and false statements of both candidates this election season already, can someone make them finally give us solid plans, to save Medicaid, Medicare, Obama care, Social Security, and yes The Postal Service? When will either candidate finally show some guts and be honest with the American People and stop pointing fingers and state solutions for all above? Probably never if you ask me, for each just wants to carry on and be marked in history as either a two term President or President at any cost! The Cost Americans is us and the future generations of Americans, yes your children, your grandchildren and their livelihood and lives. Stop and Think, make these men and their political parties come up with solid answers that work! Lets clean up the deficit, lets create jobs, save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Post Office, make the right choice America, for in the end it is our children, grandchildren and future generations that will suffer and pay for our mistakes!

 

It’s Time to Make a Choice!


  A choice must be made in everyone’s life concerning certain events, certain possibilities and life changing events. For Americans this November of 2012 could be that moment in time! Be careful Americans, make the right choice or lose in November whatever you may have gained in the past 4 years and go deeper in debt and get no changes at all.

         Americans across our grand country are losing homes, jobs and belongings left and right, money is disappearing off the map in financial markets, and the stock market goes up and down on it’s own. The world economy balances itself and tries to survive by countries helping each other through mutual agreements for bail-outs. Will we be next?

        Wars rage across the globe that have nothing to really do with Americans, yet we nose our way in, spend our man power, time, efforts and money fighting them, for what? We need to stop it now and get the hell out of war zones and countries that are in this kind of trouble. The world is looking at America, as a possible saviour for the people of Syria too, but in fact we are too broke to manage to save ourselves never mind them. The will of America, it’s politicians and system has practically run out in the terms of world power. Yes we speak they listen, but then they laugh and walk away, doing as they please. The fact is Americans are tired of fighting wars we don’t belong in and policing countries that don’t give a shit about us too.

       Lets talk about our jobs markets and the problems with them. We need innovation, invention, intervention by Uncle Sam to jump start it all. Tax breaks would help to bring big companies back, these companies pay high tax rates to operate in America and get little in return and then when the numbers  get too high they pack up and leave. No one can blame a company for making it cheaper and making more money if they can by moving overseas. We are losing too many companies this way.

       Jobs are tight in America, this nation runs on blue collar, middle class jobs not the and white-collar ones. Proof  is in the historical look back at America, jobs were best and the economy best when the blue-collar middle class were the backs it ran on. Factories disappeared starting at the end of the 1970s. and continued to disappeared since. Manufacturers said nope can’t afford to pay the taxes here and moved overseas or shut down period. In the meantime no politician took up the cause of saving these jobs and manufacturers, so now the back bone of the America Economy is becoming White Collar Jobs and the Resale Industry and we don’t even sell our own things to ourselves anymore. Why is that? Is American Pride in building the better car, stereo, tv,, bike, or any other device now gone, we don’t care? What is it?

        In the meantime, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security,Veteran’s Benefits and more disappear or are threatened in one way or another, just like the U.S. Postal Service.  Why do we borrow from Social Security and the Postal Service, we are killing good things than telling disabled americans,and elderly people we can’t give them Social Security until they are 70 or 75, next step will be 80 years old and only a few live that long. Lets be realistic here, Americans. for decades upon decades, Americans have paid into the Social Security Program set up by our government for people who earn by working and paying the tax it called for. Now, It will not be there for the next generation because Congress refuses to fix it properly and Americans who paid in will lose the money they did pay in!. Why? Lazy Politicians don’t want to fix it is why!

     So come November 2012 we have to make a choice between two men once more, as to who will lead the country as president. I recommend to all Americans to look extremely close at who you are voting for in all offices not just the top one. The republicans own the Senate and House and they stopped all progress for the last four years. Obama Care did go through and if anyone repels it, it would be stupid for Americans to allow it. Wake up folks, It is time to listen closely to what these politicians are saying and doing! We need a President who will keep Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security in operation and existence and we need jobs, we need a job plan to get more companies back to america, more jobs for our people and politicians who care about America, not just their own wallets and purses. Vote carefully and I think if you do, President Obama will be in four more years. If you don’t we may end up with Romney and go further backwards till we do become a third world nation. So the Time has come America, for all of us who vote, from the baby boomer generation to make a choice that will affect America for a long time coming. We are now in our 50s. 60s and 70s, and will be leaving soon in some form or way, will we leave behind for those  of ours, a country in devastation and financial ruin and with no help for the elderly or will we make a choice that will save the future for our children and grand children and those beyond them and save America, It is time to make a choice!
