Issaac/ Election/ Facts


      As Isaac slams the Gulf Coast, and the storm surge is coming at the people there, I wonder what Mother Nature intends for the area! The Gulf States have survived many hurricanes and storms over the years and decades and more, but, what can be done to change the suffering and damages? The damages from these weather conditions, kill, destroy and cost America and their states, cities and people billions over time. So why would people continue to live in the way of such weather, what makes the citizens want to stay there is beyond me. I just hope as Isaac continues and starts to wind down later today, the survivors there, with damages will come to their senses and finally leave the area, no levees are big enough to stop Mother Nature folks!

Next, The Election which will continue no matter what happens elsewhere. As The Republican Convention rages on now with Romney and Ryan both nominated and now the candidates of their party, they will speak. I don’t want to hear anything except, plans to increase the economy, jobs and help elderly and future generations. Will they find a way, do they have a way to create jobs, put Americans back to work, and turn around the economy in America? Will they save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, The US Postal Service, and keep HealthCare for all? If not I wouldn’t vote for them!  We can’t afford tax breaks for the rich, we can’t afford to baby those already rich at the expense of the lower, and middle class!  You want to raise taxes, tax the hell out of the millionaires, the billionaires and more! Please leave the poor and middle class alone. Don’t repeal ObamaCare as  it is now called, people need it, they need medical help, prescriptions and more and you will kill off the elderly and raise their costs of living!

My last message today Americans to all of you, who may read this is simple! America has risen to the top civilization and society in the world on the backs of the lower and middle class not the rich. We were handed, the current generation, a country with some problems but always improved by previous generations for us! Can we and do we want to give our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren a nation on the down slide and ending in ruin? Like previous civilizations that rose to the top in the world and ultimately destroyed themselves, America is now on that same brink now. We need to back off, find what will save us and make it work for the future generations, not continue to drive us deeper in debt!. Wake up folks, you can’t keep borrowing, you have to cut back, remove the unnecessary and lower costs. We can’t run our homes and families that way, and now we can not run America that way either.!

 

Your Choice 2012-America!


      As Issac bears down on the Gulf Coast and Republicans gather in Tampa, Florida, my thoughts gather as to the meaning of the current election cycle and what the weather means to the citizens faced with it. The biggest danger women and gents is not the weather that will disappear and the damage we can rebuild from, but the election if Romney and Ryan win, we will not recover from.

As Issac builds to hurricane strengths and threatens to wash away and blow away homes and property, the Republicans plan to blow away HealthCare,Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and do nothing about The U.S. Postal Service which is going under next. There is no concrete plans to save any of the above by the Republicans, and we all know it, The one message they did get out is if they are elected the rich will pay less in taxes and the middle and lower class more. Sounds to me like the same old Republican bullshit, make themselves richer at the poor and middle classes expense. Why is that folks and why do we allow it at all? I wonder are we blinded by the lights and cameras of an election, are we not listening or paying attention to the real issues?  Which is it Americans? You tell me please? I tire of talking about what can happen and what did happen for  eight long years under George W. Bush, now we are paying the price for the fools who voted him in for a second term. His policies, plans and lack of control and more, left us in two war zones, left us with a lot fewer jobs, left us in a trade deficit, and took us from the black side of the ledger to so far in the red no President could get us out in four years or if you care one term! Lets face the facts here, groceries are up, clothing is rising, oil prices are flying high, we are overseas getting our weapons, and people killed policing other nations for what? China rules the economic world they keep producing more to export than to import so no big thought there huh!

We face a decision Americans between going backwards to the same fiscal and economic policies of the Bush years and trickle down economics as we had before or a new way to go by sticking with the President we have. Just like when your budgets at home and in your houses get out of control cuts must be made here too. But the cuts must be realistic not crazy and, they need to be in places where we need less not more. Stop and think Americans, is it all worth it, if the day after you each die and our generation is gone, that our children and grandchildren and generations to come will be paying our bills for their lifetimes? Are we going to be the first and foremost generation that screwed our own offsprings, because we are stupid, ignorant and dumb period? The generations before us, left us with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, disability Insurance,The U.S. POstal Service, Jobs and a way to stay in the black, isn’t it time we woke up and ensured at least the same for the generations we are leaving behind?

As we look back in American History good men and women gave their lives, careers and health and more to keep America safe and healthy and better off than others. Are we  going to be the first generation that says the hell with them, they are on their own, We want to only take care of us?

America has changed between the 1950’s, 60s,70s,80s, 90s and now in the new century. We were at the earlier time a nation that ran on the we face the world view. We had the spirit of we, we, we, not the me, me, me we now see today!. Used to be you drove down a street, and saw someone with a flat stuck, you stopped and helped them, now if your stuck, everyone goes by and almost runs you over! There is no we anymore is there Americans, nope, now it is all me, I want, I need, I must have and so on, listen to todays kids and younger generations, they don’t read books,they don’t play outside and explore anymore, they don’t play with friends, their friends are on the internet, through X-Box,Playstation3, Nintendo, Computers and more. They hide in darkened rooms with doors closed staring at screens with video images and games playing and scream when they lose the game!. Yet we all wonder, where did we go wrong right, we gave our children everything right? Well, we haven’t Americans, we have made them, lazy, addicted to video games, and not educated them correctly. They have become lackadaisical, fat, under educated and who is to blame, we are as the adults and leaders of the country, that is who is to blame!

Sadly, America I believe we are now facing the same declines and destruction of our society that many other great societies before us did too, and we are allowing it to crumble in same ways too. The Aztecs, Mayans,Indians, Romans, all grew to great societies and civilizations, only to decline when either over taken, or becoming lazy and sloppy. We Americans are now on the same edge of the cliff, they faced and we can either spiral down and disappear, or face the facts and start working together, start educating our children, disciplining them, and leaving them what they need to make America better and stronger, not weaker and meeker. Lets wake up folks, it’s a crying shame how America is slowly falling down the economic ladder, the educational ladder, and the societal ladder. While I believe firmly in The Republic, my country, my people, my nation and defended it for 16 years and came home a disabled vet when discharged, I don’t believe we are doing what is right to maintain our country, our economy, our way of life, if we let what is here go down and watch it sink. I know, many will  say I am crazy, I don’t know of what I speak, I am blowing hot steam, or talking out of my other end, but I am not folks. America is declining because we are not smart enough to figure out, we are blowing it all, we will one day be a chapter  in a history book, or on the internet, the great American Society, that failed and crumbled like all the rest, destroying itself, through, careless acts, greediness, and lack of initiative and caring period. Sadly America do we allow this to happen?

One more thing to consider before you vote in November, Americans, as a citizen and American, do you truly believe you can dig a hole for eight long years, and then fill it back in half the time? Logic, common sense says, no way, try it folks! We gave Obama four years in office and then expected him to dig us out in one term, it took two terms to get us in this deep by the Republicans! Face the Facts America, you vote Republican we go deeper in debt, and you vote Democratic we may someday see the light again. Your Choice!

 

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.!
