Lets Fix America !


The political race is on for four years in the White House, the battle is now engaged by both sides and about to step up and hit with force, in the American People’s faces. While President Obama and Romney will be going head to head, please stop and look at both of their views on certain issues: 1) Wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, they need to be stopped and what is ours in forces and weapons need to come home. 2) Watch for who will save Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Benefits, these programs are the ones keeping many helpless, homeless and needy people alive and giving them a chance to. 3) Health Care– who has the better plan 4)  immigration Who will toughen the laws, but allow those here to stay in someway 5) Jobs, Who can really create jobs and bring back manufacturing and make our economy go forward 6) Who will change the Trade Agreements to a point where they favor America’s needs and our exports once more out shine and out measure our imports once more on the world market. 7) Who will step in and save the Postal Service that is needed by many millions across the USA to deliver our medications and things we depend on daily to survive. 8 ) Who has the better leadership skills period and will stand up for all Americans not just the rich or poor but all. 9) Who can reformat, reinvent the tax codes in the US to fit the current population and make it work, without raising them on the poor and middle class. We have no more to give Uncle Sam is bleeding out the poor and middle class to save the rich, wrong! 10) We saved big business and Wall Street and companies, now collect back what we loaned them as a country and lets use it for good works not bad.

       We also need to elect a congress that will support which ever man we elect as President. You can’t give the throne to one man and then put his opposition into check and balance him and expect him to be able to accomplish much, it’s like blockading a country, you can’t work around it well.

       As a country we screwed up by electing a Democrat as President and a congress full of Republicans to checkmate him. What we got was a blockade that stopped anything real from being accomplished and it is the American people’s fault now. Lets clean it up and make whoever is in the White House have a supporting cast to accomplish what needs to be done.

 

Children of the Future !


     Certain things in life we don’t go broadcasting all over the world or to friends or family. We don’t all brag about our sexual conquests, we don’t all brag where we get our money from and we don’t all brag every time we win or lose. But we all brag eventually about surviving and our children. Life is built around survival and the children or off-spring we have and how they impress us, with simple things at first then with more complicated ones and achievements. We all want to see our children do good and become able to survive, do better than we did and achieve their dreams. It is what makes a family a family no matter what. It’s that need of parents to see your children do good and the child’s need for parents approval.

       Yet across the world children go loveless, hungry, homeless and more, They get sexually molested and used and abused and more. Some are sold into slavery, some are killed in wars and by mentally ill parents, why, the child did not ask for what they got, nor did they ask to come into the world, did they? Nope two adults got together and created you and me and all children in the world no matter what color,race, creed, nationality, it’s all the same. A child is a child and should be protected and allowed to grow up and become who they should be, by someone watching out for them, teaching them and feeding and clothing them and providing for them period. Too many people have children out-of-wedlock or by accident, and can’t take care of them either, so they abandon them, or leave them on a step, some even kill them, or toss them into the streets. Sadly, we then wonder, how come that person is not normal, well no one taught them to be is why?

       I don’t care if your white, black, yellow, brown, or any other color or nationality, you know what I am saying is right! Children are the future of the world and nothing else matters. They will lead us in the future, they will invent, innovate and motivate each other and interact and make the world a better place for all. They will come up with inventions, medical knowledge, ways to politically conquer the world and lead others to a better place, Protect your children, raise them with respect, caring and love and teach them as the United States Declaration says, All Men are Created Equal! For in the end we all laugh, we all cry, we all get anger and we all sigh,we all bleed and our blood is red, it doesn’t matter what color or the hair on our head. Humanity my friends is one race and we all belong to it, just look and study each others face! The  children of the world is what it is all about, we must protect them and care for them, teach them equality, and respect and in the end we shall find a world of peace and hope and a bright new future!

 

Two Kennedys, One King Jr. . and More!


      Assassinations, they happened in big numbers in the 1960’s in America! We all know of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy too, but do we know how many of these great leaders were killed by conspiracies, to stop their climbs to the stop or their movements? We do now and shall forever more.

       John Kennedy was not killed by a lone assassin nor was Robert or Martin, they were killed by conspiracies that rocked America and the world. Taken down by bullets of more than one person’s involvement and two out of the three by more than one shooter. Why, simple, the people found these men leaders who they could follow to better the world and others found them radicals they couldn’t believe in or threats to their things happening. That is the purpose of these things, Assassins are meant to stop movements and people from becoming too big, and their followings too.

       Recently a woman has come forth in The Robert Kennedy assassination and said it more than once there were more than 8 shots fired in the kitchen in LA that day in 1968. She was there, she was an eye-witness who saw and heard the shots, the tape reveals she is telling the truth for 13 shots are heard on the only audio tape of the moment. Like his brother before him Robert Kennedy had a vision for America and a want to clean it up and take out corruption too. He was shot to prevent him from running rapid over crime and it’s organizations as well as to stop his rise to the Presidency.  Sad isn’t it how Americans kill the leaders that are doing good because they fear them. History has many examples of it too.

      James Garfield shot and died, from not the right medical treatment, Abraham Lincoln shot by Booth, Kennedy shot by Oswald they say, but really shot by at least three shooters, Martin Luther King Jr. a man preaching peace and justice and freedom, shot by a crazy man, who did not work alone, and then Robert Kennedy shot by Sirhan Sirhan and another in the kitchen in LA in 1968. Victims of believing they could make a difference in America and in the world shot down by extremists and people with different platforms to advance.

         In the 1970’s investigations were the thing to do in these cases, and  committees and commissions did them. Each time the murders of the two Kennedy Brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. are opened and reviewed the conclusion is the same conspiracies existed to stop these men from getting power in America and the world , sad isn’t it? I mean we grow the leaders, we help them become the leaders they are and then when they get so big they look like they can make a difference someone comes along and kills them all. You can blame Organized crime, lone nuts, crazy people, or you can look at the logic behind it and see, all of these men were feared for the places they could take America and the world for the positions they represented, by people involved in positions for the opposition, yes it is covered up and hidden, but no one assassinates anyone without a reason, it just doesn’t happen that way.

       The Kennedy Assassination and parts of its paper work and files and more are still sealed in Washington and  I am talking John’s death, till at least 2030 or further. When people ask for the information they get redacted documents hiding information, why?  The bottom line is the Government is withholding this information on the grounds it will expose the lack of effort to find the real killers and who really did it.

       Protect us yes, hide the truth and the facts no, we need a new set of lawmakers who can stand up in Washington, and get the information released and the truth told to all Americans and the World, the only way to save America’s future is not to hide its past mistakes and nuts, but to reveal it all and prevent it all from happening again!

What American’s Need!


      In American Society all is accepted mostly, but, some say a racial divide still separates up all. They say a line is drawn between the caucasian and african american and hispanic communities on different levels. If so please tell me why so many mixed couples walk the lands of America?

      Color, race, nationality, or any other difference should not divide Americans at all. You may disagree with me, but, no matter what country you go to in the world, these problems still persist. Yet, in America we live with it and each of us, no matter, white, black, or brown tend to segregate ourselves by neighborhood and who we are with. The color line was broken decades ago and it should have never existed in my mind. Color means nothing to me, not color, nationality, not race, or ethics but morals do to all. And they are what a society is built upon, not hatred and anger.

       Some have a problem with accepting each race into their lives and families or neighborhoods. Personally I don’t care what color you are, I do care how you and your family and children treat mine. Equal treatment for all and peaceful living is what is needed in America not racial wars and fights. Crime does cross over this line, due to ignorance, and hatred, but the ones who do so are ignorant and stupid. America does not need a racial war between blacks, whites and Hispanics and even Orientals, what we need is to keep the melting pot together learn from and accept each other and the cultures embedded in us all.

      I tire of the Reverend Sharpton and Jackson and so many others standing tall and asking for blacks to fight back.  Or white people like Rush Limbaugh standing up and pointing fingers at blacks or hispanics or any other race and calling them names or prejudice and discriminating. That is all crap and it just stirs the fears of each race up and causes the friction between them, when there really is none.

        Race is a problem in America because Caucasians created the problem by forcing african americans to come to america as slaves and that eneded decades ago.That ended decades ago now and we now under law are all created equal no matter race, color, creed or nationality. Lets stick with our constitution and make sure we do and all live in peace. We are all Americans we all bleed, we all hunger, we all want and we all love and hate. Lets do so in freedom, but together not in pieces or through divisions.

        When I was a little white caucasian boy in a project in the north end of the city I grew up in  I learned this. I was outside as a tyke catching bees in a jar in my backyard and missed one. When I did the yellow jacket got angry and stung me in the palm of my hand and I cried. Next door to us was a nice african american woman who loved children and she came rushing out and looked at my hand. She put a mud pack on me and pulled the stinger out and put a band-aid on it. Her name was Mrs.  Corey and she had two kids who were great too, one boy and one girl. We had all kinds of neighbors in that neighborhood and it didn’t matter, we all grew up and survived just fine.

      We don’t need hate speakers to anger anyone, we don’t need discrimination, predijuce, or any other problems to separate the american people. What we need is unity to better the nation, better all and the world.

 

The Fight for Survival of America’s Middle and Lower Classes


      The fight for the survival of America’s Middle Class and it’s working force has begun. The Presidential Race of 2012, will indeed, tell us if America’s lower class and middle class will survive for the future. We the people must decide now who is to win the most powerful position in American History and the Worlds, too. The American Presidency deserves to be filled with a man who has the knowledge and ability to make good decisions not for themselves, but for the people.

     The stance of President Obama, versus the stance of Romney is what will decide the November Election on November 6th. I just hope the American people have enough sense to stick with what we have and not trade positions!

       Before you vote come November think, and think hard, the Children of the fifties and sixties need to control the outcome of this election. We need to save the Postal Service, Medicare,  and Social Security we have all paid into the last two and there is no reason for the Postal Service to go either.

        Yes the Economy is the priority and Obama has worked his ass off trying to fix it to be opposed by his rivals in the Senate and House. If we reelect President Obama and change the outcome in Congress and give his one he can work with, the country will turn around. The blockade in Congress has to be broken to let Obama find ideas that will work.Manufacturing is beginning a comeback now, and the housing market is low, but in the end you can’t improve a bad thing like our economy is, without having support.

       The Republicans borrow from Social Security, want to kill Medicaid and Medicare and would let the Postal System die if they could. But none of that helps the American Economy or the job market does it. Manufacturing coming back will do it if you allow the democrats to win this fall. This country was built on hard work and the american blue-collar people, we need to put them back to work. We need more factories, more Manufacturing, more innovation and inventions and tax breaks to bring the big companies back to the USA. 

We need the trade agreements rewritten and improved to increase our exports over our imports and to stabilize the housing market to turn it around. We can’t sit dead in the water as a country as the bickering, blockading and bullshit continues to harm our country and way of life.

       Save Social Security, Save Medicaid and Medicare and Save the United States Postal Service. Create jobs, give tax breaks to companies to stay in this country and  correct the Trade Agreements now. We need a better America not a weaker one, leave the Military alone too, it has to keep protecting us, don’t send them to other lands and ask them to police there, just keep them here and use that money at home. That alone will help America come back!

 

America’s Needs and Choices 11/2012


      Across America the race is on for the White House in November of 2012. The Incumbant President Barrack Obama should be and is favored to beat his challenger Williard Mitt Romney the Republican. Hopefully if America has any common sense and intelligence left, they will choose the best of the two and while they are at it, back it with a Senate and house full of people in the same party. This stalemate and log-jam in Washington is killing any hope of bettering the economy and the United States.

      Personally speaking I will back whatever candidate can put a stop to borrowing from Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare and save these benefitial programs for the people in the future. The one that can find a way to reinstill funds and make these programs last will be the President in Hanuary 2013, of this I have no doubt.

       The candidate who can come out with a way to give tax breaks to manufacturers and companys that produce jobs and help raise our exports over, imports will win too.  Jobs and the Economy stupids you get it yet, like Bill Clinton was told it’s the economy.

          No more wars, no more fighting middle east battles or battles across the globe we can’t win, or can turn into morasses that weigh us downa nd eat up money and weapons and military personell, please. We don’t belong in Iraq, Afganistan, or any Middle East country fighting wars, or policing Nations that care not about us and will stab us in the back as soon as they can. Wake up in Washington, the bell shall toll for thos epoliticians who voted for wars, who voted for American involvements without help or for policing actions. Americans are tired and that includes the American Military too. They will go where the President says of course for he is their Commander in Chief, but stop please, these people men and women are human and can only take so much, the time to rest the troops and stop their battles is now. Too many suicides, too many PTSD cases, too many injuried or dead military personell who gave their health and lives for what, to police other nations to take down dictators in countries that will only regrow a new one. We need to stop now and save all the time, effort and money for inproving America’s Economy, America’s job market, housing market and our status in the world. Wake up Washington Please!

      The battle that is needed to be won, is hear at home now, not overseas in a war or policing zone in the middle east. We always support our Allies, but, in the end many of them turn on us and we end up with the short end of the stick for our efforts. The time now is to, stop overstretching our borders and flexing our muscles and to realize it is hurting us as a country to do so.

        Come November on Election Day, American’s need to find which man and his partner, will be able to find the ways to keep us out of wars, save those funds at home, increase jobs, improve the economy, educate our children and in the end, increase exports over imports once more and change the current Trade Agreement so they help America not the World anymore. We need a President who can stand up and say no more will America, send help easily, no more will America be babysitting and policing the world. We need an American President who can stand up and say, Yes I will save Social Security and Medicad and Medicare. Yes, we need a real Leader who can lead and isn’t afraid of stepping on toes to make America strong again and resilent. So Americans make a choice, whether Obama or Romney and which one you believe can solve America’s biggest problems without, letting the world kill us more.

 

10 Silly Stupid Things/ Life!


      Funny little things people don’t realize or see, are what sometimes can bother you or me, or at least make us laugh or cry. They happen on television, or in real life situations, or by accident but they do happen don’t they?

       1) Ever stop at a convience store to use the rest room?  A man runs in yelling where is the men’s room and holds himself, a woman walks in where’s the ladies room and doesn’t even cross her legs, why is that?

       2) A woman can shop till they drop no matter how tired she is as long as she likes the sale items, a man wants to go get what they want and get the hell out?

   3)   Women mature at younger ages than men, period! It’s a fact of nature and humanity, that’s why they notice boys, before boys notice girls, hormones and fermones.

   4)  Men think they rule the world, when in fact women do, even in America. Ask President Obama who his boss is, his wife! Ask any married man or one in a relationship who the boss is they say themselves, put the ring on and the woman controls!

     5) Politics, ever notice during primaries, politicians will change and say whatever to get your vote, but once elected they can’t give what they promised? Happens every four years doesn’t it?

     6) Everyday I see CNN and newscasts across America, the economy is getting better, gas is coming down and houses are getting worth more! Reality nothing changes we are losing jobs, house prices are going down  and companies are going out of business. Just ask JC Penny, Macy’s Sears, and many more now! Why do they lie to us so?

      7) Video games are good for your children and great for fun! Bullshit, they get violent, teach killing and make our children fat and lazy. Notice that at all?

      8) The Catholic and other churches preach one thing and do another, they molest children, hide the ones who do it and preach not to. Why is that?

     9) How come when a woman gains weight and goes out of shape a man is not allowed to call her overweight or fat? Yet when a man gets over weight we get your too big, rfat, you got a pot belly, etc?

  10) How come women can buy thousand of dollars worth of shoes to match almost every outfit they buy, but when a husband wants a toy or a tool he has to beg for it?

     These are just ten of the silly things one can find in an American town or marriage or life. Silly they may be, we all live with them and laugh and cry over them all and carry-on. Life shall not stop for us, no matter what goes on in the world, but, neither will silly, stupid things either!

 

   

My Religious Thoughts/ My Beliefs


      I received a comment today on a piece I wrote about Jesus and The Bible, claiming I only skirted the issue and know very little about religion or Jesus Christ. I never said I was an authority on this subject, just that I was expressing my views on it and why I chose not to be dedicated to it or attend church on a weekly basis or even holidays of the church. I find it interesting that a reader would send a comment such as the one, I got. It means to me, that someone was reading and it hit a sore spot in their beliefs and they decided to comment. Good for you!

       As I said before and I shall say again, religion is a choice, some choose to follow and dedicate themselves to and others do not. Religion to me is not the full commitment to a church or a certain religion, it is an internal belief you carry with you daily in your heart, mind and soul. ,yet you do not need a Paster, a Preacher, a Priest to tell you to believe, or to give penance or how to pray. Nor do you have to pay for a religion to build a church, please read your own Bibles if you think I am wrong, one of the first things it does say is, God sees and hears all, no matter where you are!

      Jesus is a figure in time, who was made into a Savior by the Disciples surrounding him and believing in the way he lived and wanted to live. Yet research will show you the man in mortal form had his own faults just like me and you. His story resounds the way it does, because of the portrayal put into pictures and words, not because it is the truth. If you create a church and want a pack of people to follow you, you must have a strong symbol they can worship and believe in.

        The Bible itself, with each chapter and verse is a long tale of creation, exodus, and saving. Each chapter or book is written by a different man, a human being, the imperfections of it can be found if you study it closely. Now I can not say if the events, people or places and times are correct, but I can say this, as a writer and story-teller it is easy to see how the story could be handed down generation to generation to get it completed and accepted by churches world-wide.  Ever wonder how or why we have two versions alone just in the Christian Faith, never mind what the Muslims have and believe, or the Hindus, or the Jews. Why is that so, and where did they all come from? So many stories are written on Jesus, and the times of his life. The stories alone of the creation of the world and the powers it took to create it, well, you can see what I am getting to.

       To the person or persons who made their comment on what I wrote I give you this as my answer, I lived the Catholic Faith from birth to the age of 12 years old. I was baptised, I made my Communion, and Confirmation and went to Sunday School and read my bible many times over. Religion is still a choice, not a forced item in world and American culture. We choose what we believe because it is indeed a constitutional right in America. I tire of people who believe and then force their religion on others or attempt to do so, it is wrong. So please don’t come in my direction telling me I don’t understand religion, Jesus or the Bible, because I do very well. Step back yourself and question your own beliefs and make sure you are right enough to believe them yourself, before you try to force them on another.

       The Catholic Church and many other Religions do not allow women Priest or Paster and that in and of itself is wrong also in my book. Mother Mary could have preached and I believe had her own book for the bible which the Catholic Church disallowed in theirs. Sadly, the simple act of not allowing female Priests or Preachers is wrong, for God Created all Men Equal and that includes women.

         Yes I know there are many different Religions, many different beliefs, all I ask is a right to choose what I want to believe in and not be forced to believe in something I don’t. I also reserve and protect my freedom of speech, whether in the verbal sense or written sense thank you. I shall write, talk and live free, in the Land of The Free !.

      One more note before I end, The Churches of the WOrld are hypocrital, in many ways, and childrena nd young adults have been molested and sexually abused by Priests, Preacher and more world over. They take the one with the accussations against them and swap them from one church to anothe rto hide them, but it doesn’t stop the abuse and molestations.  So if the Chjurch no matter what Religion, does not allow female Priests or Preachers, does not stop the sexual abuse and molestations of children and young adults that happens daily, why should i go to a hypocrital organization totpractice my faith or beliefs when I don’t believe in what it is doing itself.

 

The Writing Bug!


Each day I wonder what subject to cover in my blog, or what story or poem to write. How does one decide what to put in writing and tell the world or private friends or family?  You don’t want your life explained or examined by strangers or anyone else, so you tend to stay with subjects meant for the public to  read and care about.

       I have covered so many subjects on my blog from Politics, Republican primaries, Democratic too, and benefits that will affect the whole senior population over 50 in the United States. Items such as will Social Security be there for those who paid into it, or will it be all borrowed out? Will Medicaid and Medicare still be there, or will they be phased out by the rich so the poor have nothing left to lean on?

       I have covered the Death of a Diva in Whitney Houston, who all now know died a cocaine related death in a bathtub at age 48. The sad loss of such a talented person hits us everyday, in many ways and each of us is affected a little differently.

       Doctors fighting Cancer, illnesses, and more I have written about. I did a story called The Disease which deals with the rising rate of cancer among people in the USA and how it has affected my life and my beliefs and my way of thinking.

       My stories range of love, and death, and Naval life, but the biggest stories I have ever told are family stories the stories of parents gone wrong, children in pain and survivors.

        My poems have ranges the same breath and width of the human soul, from love, to lust, to health and to death, yet I still fight a subject and write as much as I can, hoping humanity will experience and understand what I say and enjoy some of it. Am I wrong for doing so, I doubt it and i don’t tend to use language that can disturb or upset people I write in plain American English is all.

        The hardest part for any story-teller, poem teller or blog writer, is to flesh out what you write about to show the emotions, fears and cares of the people you write on and the scenes have to be vivid and catching too. The subjects can range of course but we all know, what the audience really wants is something to catch their mind and grab them and carry them through the story so they can look at family and friends and show them or repeat it themselves.

       Doris Kearns Goodwin does that, Robert Ludlum did that when he was alive, and Jack London did it also in the early 1900s. Writing such as Poe gave us poems that hit the soul and make us think, Shakespeare wrote so many plays he is never forgotten. Singers and writers write songs of stories and songs of love, they may range from rock and roll to country to even classical, but they still write and pass it all on.

       America’s past and its future is built on writers and the stories, ideas and poems and songs they write. It is a country that learns lessons from the written, sung and spoken words. In the end it can be the writers of all kinds that can bring the world to  peace or destruction by what they write and show to all of us. Writers carry a large responsibility as well as the respect of many in the world. We all look for the items written that touch our souls, hearts and minds and we find them written by people who are in the end human in every way. That is what is called the writing bug that bites many humans in the world.

Internet Invention needs maintaining:


Lets all discuss something that bugs the hell out of me for a change, fools and assholes on the internet who want to destroy the greatest information highway in the world. Why would anyone want to ruin anthers web site? When you have zillions of places online to go and look at things and learn and chat and more, you aim at one web site and take it down with bullshit, that’s crap. If someone doesn’t like a web site or what someone says or writes  on it then ignore it and it will not bother you. The Internet is an invention that gives billions access to history, learning how tos, and millions upon million of pieces of data and a place to be creative. Don’t attack what may be the greatest invention ever by being stupid folks, leave other people’s stuff alone, no one bothers yours.

       It’s like Elementary School all over again, larger bullies picking on smaller people or starters. Listen up bullying is illegal! Let everyone have their say, acknowledge them and then move on with what ever decision you make and say ok. Don’t intentionally ever attack someone or something because you don’t like them, you don’t like their work or you don’t like what they said or do. Just walk away it’s the best thing for both of you.

      As day after day, on the information highway that is the internet data is uploaded stored and turned into information the world can use to save lives, and more, like all good inventions it does get misused also. History has shown terrorist organizations using the internet to voice threats or instill fear in innocent people. Yet the internet is also a device used for fun, information and education, so no matter what anyone says, we all have abusers somewhere don’t we, that we know, well we avoid them in real life and we should do so on here too.

        We have news, comics, information, television, films, books and games all at our fingertips, as well as factual history and more in the world and at home. Be blessed folks and enjoy it all, but, do yourself and everyone else who uses the internet a favor, stop spamming, stop viruses, stop malware and stop destroying the one invention in a long time that now covers all people, all nationalities, all colors, all races period. We all need a platform for information and our say also, well the Internet has now become that and much, much more. Lets protect the wealth of information, the access and the information, lets keep the Internet clean and useable for all.
