Racist Comments have no Place!


      Welcome to the world is what they say to many babies who get smacked on the ass to get started breathing, then we go on automatic and breathe and then go for many, many years till we die. Isn’t it funny how that happens to all who live at one point in their lives.

       The other day I heard the a Presidential Candidate said a racist remark and got caught on tape. Television News played it over and over across the news waves and we all got to see what he said. Well if that doesn’t ruin his bid for the Republican Nomination nothing will. I thought and firmly believed for many decades Racial profiling and discrimination were dead in America? What happened? But I can’t stop slip ups by candidates running for office nor can I save the whole human race from suffering. But I can say discrimination, no matter against who or what is just down right, bullshit!. The color of one’s skin or nationality or even language one speaks has nothing to do with the person inside, we are all human beings.

        A little thought along these lines for all to understand my point. When I was small and young we lived in the projects, brick apartments lined in a row attached to one another numbering up to eight. Families side by side, regardless of color, race, religion or any other thing. All of us played with each other, went to school with each other, and even argued with each other, but no one was called out for being racist or discriminating . We all lived in the same buildings, the same economic shape and raised children that we loved. The similarities out weighed the color barrier any time period. If I get cut do I not bleed, if I get hurt do I not cry, if I get something good do I not laugh or smile? Of course we all do, whether we are Caucasian, African American, Oriental, or Hispanic, no matter where our forebears came from, we are all human beings, we may not always talk the same, or walk the same, but we all feel the same. The world needs to remember this!.

       When I was a boy playing in the yard in the projects, I remember like most kids at a young age, I would get a jar and lid and try to catch bees to look at. I was a small tyke at the time maybe five or six years old. As I went to put the jar over the bee I missed and it stung me big time on my hand. As I stood there crying in the yard, an elderly woman opened her door, and came outside and packed my bee sting in caked mud, drawing the stinger from my hand. She told me to be more careful and asked me if I was ok, I said yes and she smiled and went back in her home. The lady’s name was Mrs. Corey, she was one of the nicest women I ever met and that anyone in the projects ever knew, with one simple act of kindness we were friends and united. She has a son and    older than I of course, and for all who don’t understand she is and was African-American and I am Caucasian, it didn’t matter than and it doesn’t matter today.

       So here is what I say about Racial Profiling, racist comments and language and discrimination , we are all human beings, we deserve equality, we deserve respect, we deserve the same treatment no matter what color, race, nationality we are, that is what America was built for, equality, opportunity,and the  chance to live in peace, can we just do that and all get along and stop calling names,slurs, ethics, color, or anything else. And if a candidate does show racist comments just do what adults should do, hold it against the person who did it not an entire race, color or country or the world. Racist comments of any kind, have no place in the world we live in!.

Elective Thoughts About 2012


      I have heard many, many Presidents say different things over the years, but the worst and most unbelievable and stupid was and shall always be George W. Bush. He made promises never kept, he raised taxes and gave tax breaks to the rich, and declared there was no such thing as Global Warming just for starters. He also never knew till told,on Television gas prices went over 3 bucks a gallon!  Sadly, Mr. Bush was given a second term and he ran the country four more years than he should have. In eight years in office Mr. Bush destroyed America and put us so far in the red, the rest of the world downgraded us, after he left.  I know and understand why Mr. Bush got a second term it was simple like someone said to me one day, when I asked why would they vote for him, the answer, he got us into the war, I wanted to give him a chance at getting us out. Not a smart reason to reelect a President who had no idea what he was really doing.

       Now we are in 2012, the Iowa Caucasus has spoken and so have the people of New Hampshire to the nation and the Republicans, they choose Mitt Romney in both cases to lead the fight against President Obama, shouldn’t the rest of the Republican world listen to them? We shall see as South Carolina speaks next, I just hope when they do on the 21st of January here, they don’t make a big mess out of the whole system.

       I read a piece this am on the internet that said, the only thing standing between Mitt Romney and the Republican Nomination is Newt Gingrich and his new Super Pac. If this is so, I would recommend the Republicans and Independents who back Mitt Romney tell Mr. Gingrich to stop what he is doing. This in fighting between Republican Candidates that endlessly attacks Mitt Romney or whoever may lead the pack at the time, needs to stop. If the Republicans want a fair chance at winning the National Election come November 2012, you better stop giving the opposition ammunition to fire at your own party and candidates. Your only killing your own party’s chances come November.

       That said lets just take a short look backwards now at history some. Presidents who take us to war  get more terms than those who don’t, why is that? The same dumb excuse someone told me to reelect George W. Bush, they got us in it let them get us out right, wrong! Wars are not games with little toy soilders you played as a kid. Nor are they necessary to solving world problems unless it involved stopping killing of innocents, we really need to care about. Even then who the hell are we, the world’s police force, nope, mind our own I recommend.

      In the end this is what I see as an Independent Voter, who can vote anyway I damn well want come November. People get swayed in elections by silly things candidates say or do. It’s not what they say they can do, it’s not what they can do, it is what will they do. If you want any Candidate for the Presidency to actually do the job they promise then you need to give them a Congress that will back them up and help them pass the necessary changes needed to change and improve our country and it’s economy and standing in the world. Remember, when you elect a Congress that doesn’t back the President you elected, you are only asking for a log jam and stalemate in Washington, DC and hurting all Americans by doing so.

 

Creation and Theories, But……


       Mark Twain said it and i believe it, everyone can write, but only a few are really writers. Styles change, people grow and something they say things they don’t know, but, most writers try to verify facts and then take literary license as they go along. It’s true not everything you read is one hundred percent truth!.

     No on can honestly say, that the world’s problems belong to all of us, they don’t really. Each person has small problems and some larger ones, so we all try to survive at our own rate. Some of us don’t make it through the whole thing and surrender others well, they soar through with flying colors. Such are the fates of civilization on this bright blue ball of a planet we call earth.

         Fates control things we humans can not, some say God does, but is there really a god? Because if we all stop to look at this mankind’s and the universes creation comes down to a few theories, yet no one can answer them all fully or prove the exact way we all got here, planets, universe and people.

           We have the theory of The Big Bang, where two particles got together and bam a larger one multiplied from that collision and kept on happening all this is , is here. If so then please tell me where the two originating particles came from and why it produced all of what is here?

             We have evolution, while we know parts of Evolution are true if we examine the species on the planet and how humanity came from the sea and moved to land. It still leaves us with the ultimate question does it not, we may have evolved from another species or from a water mammal or whatever, but, if so can we follow the pattern of evolution back to where we all came from, no!

       The last one to hold on in many hearts and minds is the Religious one, that God created all there is and thus we have survived and become what is here. Is this the truth of all creation and if so, then the final question has still not been answered has it? If God created the Universes, the planet, and all life forms, then can anyone answer us the big question where did this God come from, and what true form does he or she take? We will never know, will we, for if we were intended to know, by whatever created us or who created us, we would know by now.

        Just as one must wonder where all creation comes from, one must also wonder why all there is ultimately dies or ceases to exist. There is no permanent power source for humanity, animals,particles, or anything else that lives or shows some form of life. It all dies eventually doesn’t it? So, will we ever solve the mystery of where all came from and how all was created that we live in, I doubt it, but it can be interesting to balance and study all of the theories, isn’t it!.

   

Cancer the Deadly Killer Strikes


      I will be 56 years old if I reach January 25th, 2012 and I have lived through many things here in America,but somethings you just wish didn’t happen at all to the ones you love and care about. My life has been filled with people I have loved, hated and sometimes just put up with, but the ones you care about always count most.

       Way back in the 1970’s I first heard the word Cancer. A deadly word and a deadly disease, sadly it kills millions a year across the globe. They have so many forms of it, it is hard to imagine, but yet there it is. Progress has been made fighting cancer but not enough as  some shall see here.

         In the 1970s I was a  teenager still in High School when I first heard the word Cancer. It came up in a conversation about the first girl I was ever attracted to. I found it hard to believe but it was true for her and still is today. So that was my first hearing of cancer, but far from the last for sure.

          Joining the cancer victim list, next came my real father in 1983, he died of lung cancer smoking too much and he left behind 9 kids and a wife. Sadly, I didn’t know him that well although I did meet him a few times, but his death took him away at 55, my age currently.

           In 1990 after spending 16 years in the military serving my country I came home. When I did I found another cancer victim in my family, my step-father God Rest his soul. He was diagnosed with Cancer in February of 1990 and by October of 1990 he died in a hospital. He refused anything except pain medications, and died in a hospital bed. But Cancer wasn’t done yet, was it?

      While my step-father was dying of cancer we received a phone call from the Doctors, and had to meet in a hospital board room. As we stood there we watched mom as her Doctor explained she had cancer and was dying too. She died one year and 1 day after her then husband. Cancer had now ravaged one girlfriend and three parents on me, was it finally over? Nope!

        1993 I met my second wife, who was healthy, and fine and we became very happy together. We married 7 years later in our new backyard of the home we bought, under the beautiful willow trees, the year 2000. by 2004, we headed to Doctors something was wrong with her. After trips to Doctors, and Hospitals and even New York for specialist we found out she now had Breast Cancer, it struck again.

        We spent a year  with my wife in and out of chemo treatments and then radiation treatments, I ended up shaving her beautiful hair from her head. But she survived this bout and overcame having to take medications and survive. Today is now 2012 as we all know, this is now going on our 12th year together, come September, hopefully we will make it that far.

       January 7, 2012, the phone rang again, the Doctor called my wife had her MRI done a few days before. The Doctor told her on the phone, something is there, three nodes have shown up and two are lighting up the MRI. Instant depression set in for her and for me, what now, where do we go and what do we do? I have no idea and neither does she really. She will need biopsies again to determine if it is cancer or fatty tumors. Once we know we of course will do what ever is necessary to try to save her life. Cancer what a nasty word, cancer it cripples, it destroys, it injures and in the end it kills. I just hope for me, and for my wife it doesn’t take her from me!. I know without her, I would crumple and she knows it too!. So Pray for her and lets hope for the best and stay positive is all I can do.

FIght of the Year, 2012 Election


      Monday has arrived for many it is a new week of work beginning and the constant struggle of survival goes on. I know here in America these days it is becoming harder and harder to survive and get what is needed to survive. Politicians live like fat cats at a large open can of food and endless supplies of money. They get paid no matter what they do, they are indeed the one species or personnel group that can actually do nothing and get paid still. Why?

     As the year goes a little further and i get closer to my 56th birthday this month, I look back and wonder what President in my lifetime really accomplished anything in Office?.

      I come up with only a few names really, I lived through the end of Eisenhower’s term as a baby so I know not much of him. Kennedy as many know was a big racial equality man and did stop a war between us and Russia, so he do accomplish somethings in his short time in Office. Johnson carried on Kennedy’s Civil Rights acts and ran Vietnam and lost the damn war for us all.

      Richard Nixon, held the economy in check, took us off the gold standard, and kept prices in reach for the American People. He also took us out of the war and got his ass caught in Watergate. But he had one hell of a policy for  affairs, opening up Russia and China.

      In between what Presidents really did much for the USA and it’s people, can you tell me really. Ford nope, Carter tried but he was held back and stomped out by Congress like Obama is getting now. Reagan, every one wants to honor Reagan and be him right, why? Well he did survive the assassination attempt, he did take credit for getting the Berlin Wall down and Rescuing Hostages but what did he really accomplish, showing a strong face to the world, the economy, prices started their climb.

      President Clinton even with his infidelities and personal problems did what few Presidents could do, he actually balanced the budget and took us from the red to the black during his terms in office. Shouldn’t someone ask him how he did it and get his advice now?

          The Bush Presidencies hurt America in many ways, the father not as bad as the son and it is sad they ever occurred in my book. The son only ran to try to repair his father’s reputation and record, and ended up being five times worse than his dad.

           Now Obama is in and everyone wants his to clear up the economic mess that took BUsh 8 years to make, in four years in office, come on America wake up. No one can do that in four years, you felt ok about Bush and his wars and gave him four more to get us out which he failed to do, we should give Obama four more years just based on the fact he is working on the economy got us out of Iraq and carries himself well in office. Wake up America, the election is coming in November you better study well these candidates for the Republicans versus President Obama. In The end sometimes it is easier to stay with what we have and it works best!

 

Apology/ Election Rumble Ahead


      Welcome back Internet World! After days of problems with my Internet connection I am back online again. Sadly, I blamed Comcast for the failure of my connection and found out in the end it wasn’t all their fault, so I owe them an apology, which I am offering here and now.

        That now said and done, lets discuss these Republican Debates in New Hampshire last night. Did anyone really challenge the leader Mitt Romney, nope!. Mitt stood there took the hits and swung back so to speak and it matters not what the rest said, he was standing tall at the end.

           The problem with this field of Republican Candidates is simple, not a one of them has no faults or problems. They are all flawed in someway it seems and the least flawed is Romney at this stage. The rest it seems have problems or a lack of experience in their own ways.

            Jon Huntsman tried to fight back last night but in the end he didn’t attack Romney at all, he backed off at the critical moments. His working for President Obama in China was brought up and in the end he let Romney get away with that crap.

            Ron Paul is the senior statesman of the group here, but he is also the most liberal unrealistic one of all of these candidates. Really now, we shouldn’t fight any wars no matter what? We should mind our own? I believe like many we have fought wars we don’t belong in, but total isolation, nope can’t happen.

        Rick Perry, in my opinion needs to saddle up his horse and ride on back to Texas. He is ridiculous in his answers and his actions in this run for the Presidency and at this time he really is not a viable contender.

         Rick Santorum, comes up next in my mind to contend with Romney and he is not capable at this time on this level. While Santorum wants to combine religious beliefs with political beliefs he is wrong on too many issues and not prepared at this time to run America. Mr. Santorum is a nice enough person, but between his earmarks while in office and his slightly racial tint he has been painted with, well, you get the idea.

        Newt Gingrich the proud once Speaker of The House. His baggage is big from 3 marriages and infidelity to political swamps so deep, he couldn’t swim through them if he was a teenager again. He is too rough, too self-centered and while he would make a Secretary of Defense or a Secretary of State, he will not make a President.

      So the choices left for the Republican Party are very few who they will Nominate and run against President Obama in my opinion and I believe we shall see a Obama, Romney nationwide election happen. If I were Mitt Romney I would study Obama’s record more closely, update myself on all issues needed to run this country through good advisors, and get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
