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!

Last Night !!!!!!!!


      Last night, a Former President who led America through good times, with a budget in the black, came to the DNC and spoke about the current President and the job he is doing and why he should be reelected. What a speech is all I can say to President William J, Clinton. He spoke to each issue the Republicans have thrown at the current President Obama, and knocked them out of the ball park with truth and numbers and honesty. No one could have expected what Bill Clinton did or how he did it, but he is still one of the most fabulous speakers in political history.

As he  said himself and many will agree, President Barrack Obama, has done all he can so far to dig us out of the economic mess his predecessor George W. Bush put us in. And if you noticed there was no big verbal attack on George W. Bush or his father, but they was one glaring truth!  President Bill Clinton left office with the country in the black for the first time in decades, and 8 years after he left, this country was in the red again under the Republicans, why? How do you expect one man, with no support from the Republicans at all, to dig a country out of trillions of dollars of debt the prior put us into, in half the time? It doesn’t happen folks, you can’t dig a hole for 8 long years, constantly going deeper each minute, hour and day, than ask one President to get us out of the hole, in half the damn time, it can’t be done and won’t be done no matter who the President may be!

What we saw last night was a stellar performance and speech by the grandfather of the Democratic Party today, a man who still even years later can speak to the American People and touch us with facts and ideas and more.!

Tonight September 6th, 2012, at the Democratic National Convention, President Barrack Obama and his running mate and Vice President Joe Biden will accept their nominations for a second term in office!. As they do America I give you one thing to thing about as did former President Clinton last night; Do you want hope, do you want freedom, do you want less debt,more education, more social interaction with your government? Do you want Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, the Postal Service and more jobs for your children and their children next? Then Vote Barrack Obama back into office, give him four more years and make the right choice for America!

 

A New Beggining is Needed, But:


       A new look, a new beginning, a new world, and a need for the same leader! Americans, listen please, for what I am about to say makes sense! Barrack Obama our President was elected in 2008 for a reason, he showed us energy,hope,truth,honesty, a fighting spirit and most of all caring for the people of America. It doesn’t matter to him if you are white,black, hispanic,mexican,portuguese, or any other nationality, you are American and deserve a future and the rights of all under the American Constitution, and The Bill of Rights. I am saying this because in order to move the country back to greatness, the job market back to health and keep healthcare in place as well, as keep Veterans and disabled persons going this man is needed.

Barrack Obama, as our President achieved many things in office as was testified to at the Democratic National Convention last night. He has handled himself with pride, dedication and honor in office, he stands for what we believe in, not what others want all the time. He is not here to play wishy-washy games and change his mind every five minutes like Romney. He is here to make decisions and then live by them and see them through to fruition. He won’t run and hide and we all know that today and for future events too. His hand held the tiller straight, his hand guided us to HealthCare, The capture and defeat of Osama Bin Laden, and many more important issues, He saved the Automotive Industry and the Banking Industry, when all said it could not or should not be done.

If you want a person in office, who will save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and HealthCare for all, a person who wants to create more jobs, educate more people,save The Postal Service and more, we need President Barrack Obama, more so now than before.

To the doubters and non-believers out there in America, let me close with one clear, true and honest message about Government, Families, Americans, and facts. Listen closely folks please:

No President can fill in a hole 8 years deep and complete the job in half the time it took to dig it! No One can, and no one will especially if opposed for all the four years he is in office trying to correct it! If you want to blame someone for the mess not being fixed properly, blame the Republicans, they wouldn’t and still won’t work with the Democrats and the President to fix it all.! Tell the Republicans come November 6th, to go home, get out-of-the-way and let progress take place, to work with the President in a bi-partisan way, or get out of office! Vote Democratic folks or we go under!

Vote Democratic, Here is Why!


     September 4th, 2012, The election cycle in America begins in full swing and will end on November 6th when American‘s pick the next President. Sadly our choices are not the best in my opinion, I wish we had Hillary Clinton again, but life goes on. We have the choice of staying the course set by President Obama or going back to unbelievable Republican ways. If we are smart we will stay the course and give President Obama his four more years to straighten out Bush’s 8 year hole he put us in! Besides you can’t dig a hole for 8 years, using big machines and then ask one man to fill it back in four can you?

Whats at stake here Ladies and Gentlemen are the following issues; 1) Jobs and the economy as a whole. 2) Social  Security and Medicare.4) The U.S. Postal Service and more jobs and 5)Taxes on the middle class and poor vs taxing the rich and able to pay! Face the facts America, the Republicans want to tax the middle class and poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Sadly, we can not allow it now, we have come too far to go backwards now. 6) Healthcare Reform or as the Republican’s call it Obama Care!. If it is removed will cost many seniors, elderly and disabled individuals more and in the end leave them uninsured and hurting with large medical bills and costs. Wake up folks,do you want your mom, dad, child, grandchild, not to be able to get cared for because of pre-existing illnesses or disabilities. or do you want them paying hundreds or thousands more a year for prescriptions, just so the Republicans can say we beat Obama. I doubt it folks, it is our parents, our spouses, our families and grandkids and more who need this healthcare reform as it is, tell the Republicans to leave it be! This Election in 2012 will determine not only the near future of America but the far-flung future also, when we as individuals will not be here to see it. Are we going to be the first generation of Americans to leave the country worse off to our grandkids and future generations? Are they going to look back at us in a few decades or a century and go, those bastards left us all messed up and deep in debt and we couldn’t get out! Lets not do this to our future Generations, stay clear of the Republicans at the polls, and vote Democratic, and maybe one day (2016) I hope, America will elect its first Female President in Hillary Clinton and she will do what she intended in 2008, and make us stronger and more secure. But for now, we need President Obama, we need, Healthcare and Medicaid, and medicare, we need Social Security to be refunded and taken care of, we need jobs, and the economy turned around and we need President Obama to lead us to our next level of a decent economy and to stop us from dropping into a third world nation with no promise!. Vote Democratic and make America Great once more!

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!
