Time to Make Decisions is Here!


     Welcome to a world filled with more pain and suffering then ever before, just not all of it is  war!

        Yes across the globe we call Earth and home, people are suffering from wars, but more are suffering from slavery, forced prostitution,homelessness and illness than ever before, in recent history. Sad isn’t it when people as a species creates cures, money and homes, yet people still suffer, or we already know things are not right and we don’t work to right them?

       I love this world and the country I live in America, but then I look across it today and see the same sufferings and pain  world-wide happening here in greater numbers than ever before in my 56-year-old life. People without jobs begging for pennies and breaks, asking to work for food, homeless people sleeping in card board boxes on the streets and the ill and injured not cared for because they can’t afford health care. Sad isn’t it folks, but if you think America is sad in these ways, the rest of the world suffers far worse. They don’t have the good samaritans we do, or the capabilities we do, do they?

         I tire of seeing pain, my mind wanders back in time and i wonder what happened to the America I grew up in. The one where a stock market soared and people made money, and parents had jobs to feed and home and clothe the children they had. What happened to those days?  What went wrong for the countrys economy and it’s job markets and  Congress and Government?  Back in the 1960s when I was a child a neighbor would come out and help a child hurt or in pain, or help find one lost. Now they all ignore the pain and suffering of others and run the other way, why? Is America heartless and uncaring, are we scared of helping one another, is our social networks in person being changed so badly we don’t talk to neighbors anymore? What the hell happened to the America of the 50s, 60s and 70s even?

        Well looking back I can tell you some changes occurred through media markets and on television and radio. Even the foul language barrier of television history has dropped, so vulgarity is now on television for all to see and hear. Americans are we extremest? Do we go from no, no, no, to yes, yes, yes that easy? Why? Standards need resetting in American culture, american entertainment and in  american lives!. Across this country people run from one another due to skin color,race, beliefs and more why? Is this not America the land of the free and home of the brave anymore? Do we not still have freedom of speech, freedom of action and reaction and equality? If not we need all of it to stay a great nation and the best country on the planet.  We can not rest on past laurels or past accomplishments either, we must forge together as a perfect union and country to maintain and survive in the world. A Divided country, divided over race, religion, ethics, morals or status will destroy our country and way of life, we need to be united and on the same path. Anything less will be useless, worthless and ineffective, to us as a country, as a nation and as human beings!

       The time is coming soon and fast, when Americans must make critical choices in which way our country should go next. Elections come by once more in November 2012, and decisions that will affect out culture, our country, our lives and health care and more are due to be made, lets not make the wrong ones folks! Vote to become energy efficient and less oil needy, vote to save the Postal Service, Vote for Extended Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare and Veteran’s Benefits. Vote to have Trade Agreements changed so we export more than we import once more!. Vote to Create jobs in the country we love and put all who want to work back to work. Lets force the politicians in Washington, DC. to work together, or get them out of office for good. Teach them to be bi-partisan or send them home. You can’t have a President and Commander-in-Chief of one party and majority of another party in Congress and not get blockades and stalemates and more. So what ever we do, women and gentlemen, we need to unite a President with a Congress of his own party and get this country off its ass again and moving forward! The time for the right decisions is now, not later!

 

Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.

Vote Democratic Across The Board!


      Americans need to unite and improve our own country and stop helping the world, we can’t afford it anymore. We lend hands to every country in the world we can that needs it, but when we hurt no one comes running with help or a hand-out, or for that matter a hand up!

       We race across the globe with our military- ,helping  Afganistan, keeping Iran under control, beating up on Iraq for having Saddam Huessin and taking him out, why?  The only country in the Middle East that would consider America a friend and help us at all is the Jewish State. The bottom line is not even England will do it anymore I believe or Canada to our north or Mexico to our south, not unless our continent is invaded or attacked straight up. Sad isn’t it?

       The strength we once had as a military might still exists, but the economic- might is gone, shot down by the failure of our politicians to control it all. The fight between the two parties is crazy and stupid period, we are destroying what we had and should have for the future by it all. A divided President and Congress is a formula for a dying economy, a dying job market, a lackluster trade balance and no forward motion period. Deadlocks are deadlocks folks, and we have it in our government due to our own stupidity.

       Only one side can run the country at a time, and if you want anything done, or saved from disappearing now is the time to realize this. If you want Social Security saved, Medicare and Medicaid saved, The Postal Service saved and maintained and Health Care kept in placed and improved now is the time to speak up at the polls in November.

        If you want job growth, manufacturing to grow, trade balance where we lead the way once more speak up now! If you want gasoline prices coming down, oil prices to lower and your money to last longer, then we need a leader in Washington, who has a congress on his side to do good things, not stop it all.

        Someone once asked me a question about political parties in America, meaning both Democrats and Republicans. The question was this, what is the difference between the two parties? One person replied one is Liberal and one is Conservative, I said nope, The second said one is pro-life the other isn’t again I said no. Finally they looked at me and asked one more time, What the hell is the difference between the two parties? I replied as follows, The Democrats will spend every cent the government has and finally stop, the Republicans will spend every cent we have but, borrow to keep spending more, putting us deeper in debt!

       Before you vote in November and decide which man and party should run America and it’s Government you need to stop and think! The Republicans had 8 years under George W. Bush to run this land and country, and dug us a hole so big in the budget department we can’t see anything except red. President Obama has tried for his first term in office to dig us out, but you don’t clear up 8 years of  overspending and  red books in four do you? It takes at least the 8 more years to do so and dig us all back out. So when you vote, stop and think which party was in office and allowed the 9/11 attacks to hit us, which party took us from the black to the red in budget books? Which party entered us into wars we didn’t want or need? Then stop and think which party is pulling us out and trying  to balance the budget again and get us going forward!  The Democrats and President Obama need four more years to correct the eight years of mistakes by the Republicans. We need a new beginning and a new way to go, not go back to what sunk us for eight years before. Vote Democrat, Reelect President Obama and give him a supportive cast in the Senate and The House and lets move America back to the forefront on all issues. If President William Jefferaon Clinton left Office with a surplus in the budget big time, and Presient Bush left with the biggest deficiet in recent history, then which party do you think will work to stop the bleeding and balance things? Think Democratic, think Reelect President Obama and lets give him a supporting cast in the Senate and House to get done what is needed.
