America must wake up!


 Friday January 19th, 2024 has arrived and yes I woke up and am alive. Never thought I would be here at this age and getting ready to turn 68, in lets see, six days. I honestly thought I would be dead at 40, because of the life I lived in my younger days. Others who lived the same type of life I did, have not survived as long and are gone. I have seen accidental deaths, and suicides as they have gone by, people who I never thought would be gone are indeed gone. I never thought I would see, myself still kicking, yet here I be.

 As I get ready to turn 68 on January 25th, 2024, I do so, missing my wife of 28 years still. Yet, I also know she can not comeback to me, nor can I reach her. I know many will tell me, to begin to move on and I wnat to, but, since i havent found anyone to do so with, the memories draw me back to her. I also know the memories are great to have, and missing someone you loss is ok, I also have to keep living day by day, for the fact, I am here.

 I look for a way now, to try to just keep going, to laugh, to do what is necessary to keep going. Finding the small things in life that count most is not easy, when your alone you tend to stay to yourself, it’s a matter of fact. Those who know me, tell me to go out, meet people, have fun, thats the only way to find someone, but I ask, where do you go at 68 years old to do so ?

  I walk a lot as i said before, and if I see someone who went down, or is injuried I will help if I can. I will never refuse to help anyone who is hurt, I am not built that way, to just do nothing. Living in a 55 plus community, I see it as a place we should keep aneye on each other and help when and where we can. Not all of us have family nearby or that can be called and I am sure we all want help when we can get it. When you get to a 55 plus community like i am in, you know your here for retirement purposes, or to live out the remainder of your life. Doesn’t mean we die on getting here, just means we realize we want to retire in peace, have some quiet, and hope to make and have friends we can share whats left, with.

 In my case, my life, has it’s own rewards, to it. I spent my youngest days, helping my family at home, rebuilding a home for us to live in with my step-father, babysittng my younger siblings and such. Then, I helped all my firends I had that I could in my high school years and a lil beyond. I joined the Service at a young age and served for 16 years in 3 different branches of service, Army, Army National Guard and US Navy. I recieved a Honarable Discharge un Medical Conditions. I married twic eone, went 12 years, produced two daughters and now four grandchildren. The second marriage went 21 year, the relationship went 28 years, no children but, I spent 16 of those years taking care of a wife with breast cancer and that ended with my hospicing my wife till she passed on me in 2021. So yes, I have had a pretty full life, but, I am leaving somethings behind when I do leave.

 I leave behind when I die, some people i have taught things like drawing, some I have helped along in relationships and there will be my writtings. Stories, blogs, poems, they are out there for all to read. If they help anyone in anyway, then I have done good in this world. I have like all people my ups, my downs, my just hanging on moments, but I have also, given back whatI can, where I can and when I can. a person’s legacy may not equal those of heroes, or President’s or or civil leaders or more, but, we are not remembered for being heroes, we are remembered by those we care for, help, guide, defend or love. In life we make friends, some we keep for alifetime and others we pass by as we go. The same can be said for lovers. Personally, I know my lovers have been few and i can count them on one hand, not all reached fruiation, or relationship status, but I am not, one to mess with destiny of fate, I accept it. You can’t make someone love you, anymore than you can stop death from happening. Destiny and fate is all that is and we make choices, based on what we have already experienced in our past. We draw on all we experienced as we went along, and what we were taught by others, to make the decisions in the present day we live in. Just a fact folks ! We are taught by parents or those that raise us, right from wrong, and we go by those lessons, which is why family units are so important in this world we live in.

  Anyway, life is still going on for me as of today, and I watch the political world in America and wonder, what is next ? Are Americans really foolish enough, blind enough or accepting enough to re-elect a man, who lies, cheats, is a sexual predator and harrasser of women. and never kept a promise in his life again? I know many will think oh, another anti-trumper is all I be, but, that is not the truth of me. Ex-President Donald J. Trump does not belong in the White House or in The Office of The Presidency again ! Which in itself as a statement Trump uses himself to run for The Office of the Presidency proves the Presidency is an Office held in the United States and comes under the 14th amendment clause, of the constitution. I remind all Americans, Donald J. Trump, couldn’t sell water, steaks, or a university he ripped people off for money with, he cheated contractors out of money for work they did for him, and only paid them pennies on the dollar. And that just is the start of his crimes of his past, now add in sexaul harrassment of women, found to be liable for doing so and fighting with Judges over how much to pay. How about his Two Impeachments in Office as President, his running an insurection and riot as President and telling people led to walk down to the capital and stop the certication of electorial votes. How about his people yelling, Hang Mike Pence ? He called the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to the capital that January 6th ! Wake up.

 Four Indictments, 91 charges later and people still want to vote for this man, why? I don’t have the answer, but, I do warn you, re-elect him and you destroy yourself and your own republican, democracy you live in. This man was removed from the Colorado ballot and Maine ballot because they found him to be the leader of an insurrection against our country and constitution. Now it must go to The Supreme Court for a decision soon. The danger of Donald J. Trump is real folks, if you can’t see it yet, please go read his brief put forward to the Supreme Court fighting for Immunity. He warns the Supreme Court that is his claim of Immunity is not upheld by them, it will cause Chaos and more. Who tells a court this and gets away with it? He tells the court, that his people will cause chaos and destruction and go wild if he is not given full immunity. Are you kidding me, lets just be realistic and do what is right. If his supporters wants to attack and go crazy we have the National Guards and military to stop it all. No way in hell should anyone, allow one man to lead his supporters this way. Trump wants revenge for losing in 2020, he wants retrobuition for his loss. Are you kidding me? I wish someone would wake up this country, and wake up to the fact that electing Trump is just installing a dictator, or autocrat, and paying the price for it over four more years of more crimes and problems. America must wake up !

 

 

 

 

 

Tax Season/Environmental Problems/Politics


    April 2,nd is here folks, tax season has come once more as the 15th looms. Uncle Sam will want their fair share once more and will hit the middle class and lower class with taxes, the upper class will never pay, sadly it is unfair. yet, in America someone has to pay the bills right, well why not take that money mote from the Billionaires and millionaires then the lowly peons we be? And what about our well off and well paid politicians, who are doing nothing in Congress to turn the country around, period, shouldn’t they pay too?

My firm belief is the American Government has protected the rich too damn long and they need to pay their fair share and take some of the burden off the lower classes these days. They jet around the world and country having fun as the worker bees, have a hard time buying a home, eating or dressing and taking care of our kids. Why, is that folks?

The rich get richer and the poor poorer, and in between the middle class gets squeezed for the money they don’t have to take care of it all. Sad Isn’t it? I mean really, how much more blood can you squeeze out of the middle class before there is no more middle class to take from? You tell us, you big ass Politicians who get paid hundreds of thousands a year for sitting on your asses and saying no to everything that could help the country because you don’t like the opposing party and want to look tough and in charge. where are the jobs? when will the economy turn around once more fully? Where and when will we stop fighting wars for other countries? When will America learn as powerful and lucky as we have been, that the first priority should be taking care of our own?  As we go forward in 2015, a year I never thought I would live to see, for I will be 60 in January of 2016, and i have survived cancer now, it seems American Politicians need to get the damn message and take care of our people, country, economy period first and foremost. Stop paying to police other  countries or fighting s others wars, we must grasp a hold on the Economy at home, at healthcare, fix social security and Obama Care and feed, cloth and educate our own and prepare for an uncertain future in this world. The environment is ruined and we do nothing to make it better or to slow it down, why? Are we as Americans or as humanity in the world stupid enough to believe we did nothing to see it fail us or to damage it, come off of it folks! Icebergs melt at the poles, oceans rise, polar bears face extinction as do many animals, as the oceans rise the land mass will deplete also, so it will encroach up the coasts of America as well as other countries too. As the land masses decrease where will mankind live then and the animals and produce we depend on live? How will we feed ourselves and the animals and plants we need to survive? You all tell me?

I know many will think I am just ranting and raving again and I sound like a fool, or like I do not know what I am saying, but, you better look closely folks, because it is slowly happening across the globe we live on.   

Last things for today folks; 2015 is moving forward faster and Obama’s term is coming to an end, and so is Congresses too. as politicians move on and retire and we look for a new leader in 2016 in all areas, we should remember somethings. One Obama tried, he was blockaded and stopped by a Republican Congress, who did so out of spite and anger at losing the White House to him. Two, Congress and it’s leadership needs to be changed period, we can’t continue to allow a Republican Congress or for that matter a Democratic Congress to stop a forward motion in america. Sadly, we have important decisions to make for all of us and the good of our country coming up. Lets not make the same mistake twice folks, if we put a Republican in the White House or a Democrat, lets give then support in Congress to make things happen, or we shall lay dormant like a rug and the country and it’s people will suffer more!

Monday/Music/Reading/Beliefs


       Monday I welcome you and good morning to all who read this, a new day has begun as well as a new work week for most!  I hope all have a great day rushing too and fro and making some bucks as they do.  

For me Monday just bring a new day and an attempt to write this blog, and tell what I believe in. I believe in peace, I believe in caring, love, hope and the Great American Way of life!  I believe in hope, persistence, never giving up and more!  I am not saying it will all be there for you in your life, but it is worth striving for big time in America.  hard work for many brings peace through money, social interactions, love and finding a place in the world, it’s worth it folks!

I grew up with country music, some rock and roll and trying different music. Music bring peace to to the soul and you can close your eyes while listening and float away on the notes and voices and be in a make believe world of pleasure for a while.  You can hear someone else’s stories in the lyrics and understand what they are trying to say, many songs do that now. Music is a love many of us have in life I am sure.

 I grew up reading too, books, magazines, and yes comic books and graphic novels. I read sci fi, westerns,  mysteries and spy novels, but I also read history folks, american history big time. Washington, Lincoln, Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Nixon, Clinton, Kennedy and more all, men who gave for their country and made it better in their own ways. Americans should read more, and learn the morals, ethics, beliefs, and basics of why we as a nation are different then any other!  read about our Revolution, our Civil War, our Depression, our advances in Medicine and science and more. Read how we struggled to survive at first than expanded across the lands we live in and killed off other cultures to do so. The American Indian Nations suffered for the white man coming here, and so did the African Americans who are here now, brought here as slaves. But in the end, we gave all freedom and choices and equality as we went along. Yes I am not saying there is no discrimination or prejudice  because there sure as hell is, but it is now getting less each day. Color, race, issues, are getting fewer as we as Americans realize, if you kill us we all grieves, we all cry, we all bleed red, and we all fight for the country we live in! In the end the color of your skin, your nationality, should mean not a damn thing in america, being American should mean everything, period. I served 16 years in the US Military folks,, I served with all nationalities, all colors, all races and all different religious beliefs, it makes no difference for in the end we all believe in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! 

When you sit at your breakfast table each morning and eat breakfast, have the same eggs and bacon or cereal as everyone else who lives here and rush out your door to work, stop and think, where else in the world, do people of all colors, races, nationalities, all fight for the same values, the same freedoms and have them. The US Military is made up of freedom loving americans of all colors, and americans all, say thanks to them for the freedoms you have! And when they march in your town parades, say thank you by respecting them and honoring what they did, no matter who they are!

My Stories folks can still be found on Amazon’s Kindle e-Books, Kobo Books and Wattpad.com. I hope some will enjoy them!

 As to my cancer fight it will continue of course. I have to be at the hospital on the 23rd of August for testing, cardio- pre op  work up for preps for my operation on September 3rd.  Blood Testing of course, and Anesthesia Prescreen. Than when the 3rd does come, it will be a robotic assisted right middle lobectomy, removing my middle lobe of right lung. From there I don’t know if it will be chemo and radiation or just chemo, but whatever it is I will fight! God Bless all who read this.  Later folks!

 

 

 

Zimmerman Innocent/ Blog Writing/ Love Stories


       Zimmerman found not guilty and let loose.  A Fight did ensue in this case as to who threw the first blow or who approached who first. In the end there is no witness who can say how the confrontation started and what happened except the man who survived it. I feel for the Martins for they lost their 17 year old son in this case, and will never have him back, but, on the other hand the State of Florida never proved their case and overcharged Zimmerman too. Sadly American Justice did do right in this case, and the Jury of six women went over all charges to get there. The third thing wrong with this case that I saw, was it was televised for the world to see from the get go, and it wasn’t needed to be. Three African American Males, killed a Caucasian  girl  while this case went on, yet not a peep of it is in the newspapers, on HLN, CNN or any other station, why? Because crime happens daily and it just doesn’t get shown in that way. Sad isn’t it, that, one case was shown and the other will be solved and tried in a court of law too, but not shown to the public.

       Next subject today,  each day I write blogs, very few really read what I do write I know that, but my blogs are not written to gather readers, but to relived my own PTSD, stress, tension and to show me I can cope with what I live with each day. It’s a way for me to express what I feel and what I see, without hurting anyone. One person told me recently, I was a drooling old man who just writes shit, well, he found he was wrong when I approached people he worked for and proved it wrong. What I am ladies and gentlemen, is a retired, navy Veteran who lives off a Disability check for service connected disabilities of six herniated disc in my spine, Ptsd, Arthritis and Sleep Apnea. Sadly, my injuries occurred defending my country and serving in the Military of the Land that I love. So when you mouth off out there at people you don’t know, because of the way they speak, sleep, walk, talk, or anything else, including their skin color, race, etc, remember one thing we are all human, and should all be respected. If you don’t understand ask is what i say!

On that count i shall stop my rant, I will leave you with some love stories for  all to enjoy: I hope the women can see the feelings in them and enjoy them, they tell of early loves of me as a young man: 

“Angie’s Folly” —-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPMGIAC
“My Maria”——-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CS3BTOS
“The House on Phoenix Avenue”—–http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D910XBS

 Please enjoy, and have a safe and healthy Sunday/ Fun Day!

 

 

Zimmerman’s Trial/ Second LIfe/ Danger in Internet Chats


       Today July 12th, 2013, George Zimmerman‘s trial will hit the six female jurors for a decision. But before it does, I would like to make my comments on the situation and the case in general and in some specifics.

While in bad neighborhoods across America and the world , people formed watch groups to prevent crime in their areas, not all walk around with guns in their belts. But that said, Zimmerman had a license to carry a firearm for the purpose of protection so no biggie there. Secondly, there is no law preventing anyone from watching anyone else from a safe distance and reporting what they see or are worried about.  This is America and freedom is a right earned.  That  said, lets look at the actual case and someone prove to me, how you know George Zimmerman started the fiasco that killed Trayvon Martin? Now let me state it clearly, no one knows whether Zimmerman approached Martin or vice versa, which makes a sad case of no proof for the prosecution.  Trayvon’s injuries show he was on top of Zimmerman, his knees and arms are scraped. In the meantime, Zimmerman’s head was bounced off the pavement at least six times. his nose was broken, and the Doctors all said the same, Zimmerman did not get a hit in on Martin. But the facts are what will determine the result of the case in a court. Six women will get the case to decide on whether Martin attack Zimmerman or the other way around and did Zimmerman do right or wrong when that pistol went off? Before the decision is heard or even put to the jury in this case, I would like to state an important factor here, there is no racial factor here it seems, because Zimmerman is hispanic and Martin African American. But imagine if you would if this was a white man who shot a black boy! Would a racial war start in America if the man was not convicted. probably.  It does go to prove that racial profiling, discrimination and prejudice have no place in America and should be put aside for we are all human, all alive and we all bleed, hurt and die. Interesting point is it not?

        Next Rant so to say, yesterday I was on the internet in Second Life minding my own and mentioning that I blog daily and that I completed my blog for the day. Sadly, I was told I am a drooling, old coot who blogs daily and nothing else and it led to me defending myself and then reporting it to the clubs owner. Sadly, the person said it, doesn’t know of my 16 years in the military, my serving in three different branches or my injuries from doing so, like PTSD, Sleep Apnea  and six bad discs in my spine, three in my lower back and three in my neck. Nor did they understand the power of the written and spoken word it seems. But that has all passed now it was yesterday and settled, today is a new world and day. But before you judge anyone you do not know, be careful, you may be attacking someone who saved your ass in time of peace and war.

         I live my life today asa Disabled Veteran who can’t do too much in real life and in Second Life I refuse to get into relationships with the opposite sex, for the mind is a thing no one should mess with, and you don’t know if they can handle the emotional commitment or abuse you may give out. I don’t recommend going into Second Life or any other chat program and making relationships with people you have no idea who they may be period. Sadly, it can get them destroyed mentally  emotionally or even physically if it goes beyond the Internet, so be careful folks.

 

June, The 4th on it’s Way, Meaning


     June is running by quickly this year and we are now getting closer to summer’s biggest Holiday, The Fourth of July, in America. The skies will light up all over the place as fireworks go off, and people gather to party outside in the hot weather and night. Children will get to stay up a bit later to see the skies light up, parents will show the children the sky and smile and laugh with them. God Bless America!!!  But do any of the children today understand what the celebration is really about, do they know America fought to be independent and won? Do they understand what our Founding Fathers wrote when they gave us the COnstitution and the Bill of Rights? Do they know who George Washington was, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Patrick Henry and Paul Revere and Ben Franklin were? If not parents it is a day to teach and let them understand why they live in the land of the free and home of the brave!

To go along with the Holiday and time of year we are in I give so warnings, about fires, the dangers of swimming, grills, and being careful when doing all of the above. Try to watch one another and keep safe through it all.

     Final for the day; I wrote a short story and posted it as a little book on Amazon’s Kindle E-Books which is appropriate for the 4th of July Holiday Celebration;“National Guard Hereos”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CIH88HU It’s all about two Veterans who served in Vietnam, suffered their PTSD, hid it and showed it one night at an Armory and explained it. Welcome to it, I hope you understand and like it!

 

 

 

 

The Unending Jodi Arias Trial!


  After watching the Jodi Arias Trial to it’s uneventful conclusion of no  Decision on the death penalty or life I wonder about the Justice System in America!  Jodi Arias brutally murdered Travis Alexander and now stands a greater chance of life in prison than death.  Whats sad about the whole case is, she stabbed Travis 29 times, slit his throat ear to ear and shot him in his face, and no reason is given for why, nor, is there any remorse on her part being shown. I have heard her say it was self-defense, well that has to be crap! How can a naked man in a shower, no clothes, no weapons except a wash cloth and a bar of soap and shampoo be attacking her. It’s bullshit, but she drove her own defense, but ended up convicted anyway. While personally, I do not believe in the Death Sentence for anyone, I do not believe in the old eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth sorry. The Alexander family should get with Juan Martinez and have him drop the death penalty and change it to life in prison, at least she will never get free again. Is as Steven and Samantha Alexander said, they tire of this and seeing her in a court room, bashing their brother, then to get Justice drop the death penalty and move on  and give her life in prison with no parole. At least she will never hurt an honest, hard-working, person again and never walk free. While this Life Sentence will not give the Alexanders the full justice they want and deserve, it will end their misery of seeing this woman again and again in a court of law and give them time to heal once more. To Juan Martinez who prosecuted Jodi Arias, you did a terrific job doing so. But, there comes a time when Arizona and the people of Arizona can not afford to keep retrying this woman. Secondly the cost is crazy, look at the numbers.  Thirdly, where will you find twelve more Jurors who know nothing of this case or the defendant, and be able to make a decision the will not be biased to her?  I don’t believe any in America can do that after the Television coverage and Media coverage this case got and Jodi got period. SO you should talk it over with your boss and the Alexander family and get her life with no parole!

Dreams for America and Humankind


Dreams we all have for we are humans first and in America we are Americans second. We dream of the freedoms, people like Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter and Regan and Clinton and Obama dream of. Dreams of a United States, filled with jobs, equality, hope, caring and sharing, and as Martin Luther King Jr. said where all men are indeed created equal no matter what color, race or nationality. Where people help one another and where we are not a me generation anymore but a we, generation fighting for the rights, the needs, and the peace of all Americans and human beings!

The dreams many of Americans have dreamt are of a peace-loving nation where all are treated equally, where all can work, live in faith and choice of religion, and have their fair share we all should have!. This nation was not built on a platform of have and have-nots, it was built on a platform of We, The People!

Dreams of each and every American, no matter what race, nationality, religion, color or anything else, all have the rights given to us by our ancestors. And no they weren’t always right in all they did and built, but they proceeded to create the greatest Republic in the history of the world. Where else can a man or woman, or child have the same opportunities as each other, have the same rights as each other and live in one melting pot, in peace and survive and prosper as we have as Americans?

As The Republican and Democratic Conventions are both coming to an end, we the people have a responsibility to choose the right man for the Presidency again. We also must choose his back up in a Vice President too. Team sports is how our country is run, if one goes down his back-up must be just as good. We need strength, we need understanding, we need honesty, we need truth, we need caring and most of all, we need leadership that can stand tall and defend us, and make America move ahead, not backwards or down a slope to oblivion.

Dreams my fellow Americans are not just for day-dreamers, they are for leaders, they are for people who care, they are for all to share!. We dream because we are human and we dream because we were built with hope, determination and skills to survive. We dream for the generations that will follow us and need our protection and knowledge and skills to survive and much more. We must give our next generations of Americans the protection, the skills, the education, the determination and the abilities to survive and prosper in a changing world that will try to knock America down and destroy us all. America shall and will survive, it will prosper, it will still have it’s melting pot of people and different ideas, it will crawl out of any monetary or financial hole we have been tossed into. We always have for the past 200 and some odd years, haven’t we?

As you dream, I dream and we all dream of a country and world of peace, prosperity, love and hope, and health, we should also look around and one day look down, at the ground we walk upon. Below each of us embedded in the earth and busy as each of us are, are the ants below us crawling, scurrying, and working to build their own world and homes like we are above them. In the end we are just the next level up from these insects, we scurry building homes, feeding one another, storing for future events and trying to steer clear of problems and trouble too. Like the ants below our feet, we step on every day and who have their own purpose on this planet, just like any other living creature, including us,, we fight to survive, to build and to take care of our own. It’s the drive to stay alive and have more that makes us human and who we are as people. Each of us, love our families, our siblings, and our country!. Let all make the dream of equality, jobs, a working economy, healthcare, and benefits for all, our priority, not for us, not for our personal gain folks, but for the future generations of Americans, our children, our grandchildren and so this Republic will remain the Greatest in the history of the world and all time! The dream will survive, it will remain, it will enable and it will come true!

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!
