Death of a Martyr Doesn’t End a War…


Overnight parties and celebrations have erupted in not only the Western World, but in Europe as well, with the notification that Usama bin Laden has been killed by American Troops.  Of course, our self-efficating President, Barack Obama, had to get his two cents in as being the mastermind behind the killing… a man with no military experience, who seems “bored” in military briefings, and who condemned GW Bush as being bloodthirsty, now has a new launching slogan for his 2012 campaign – Got bin Laden?

Killing bin Laden does nothing to A) end a war, B) foresee the end of a war, or C) stop Al Qaeda’s quest for domination of the Western World. You see, it doesn’t matter if you call them the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Radical Muslims, bin Laden Followers, bin Laden Supporters, or just Damned Terrorists – bin Laden still wins. That’s right – he wins. His legacy has had 10 years to fester and has many more years of funding.

In a religion where gratification only comes from killing, that blood lust will continue and now they have a new purpose, New Resolve.  The Revenge of Usama bin Laden.

In 10 years we have failed to stop his funding sources and so they grew.  In 10 years, we have failed to stop their recruitment and camps and so they’ve grown. In 10 years, we have not built more refineries, expanded our own natural resource extraction plan, or developed usable energy sources and so today, much like 10 years ago, we are funding the war against ourselves by buying and trading with the Middle East – countries who support, fund, and encourage this war from an opposite stand point.

Usama bin Laden’s death does not bring back one of ours.  His death will not stop the future deaths of any of our soldiers. His death will not bring home our soldiers or stop a war with no winnable end point.

That’s right – we have NO winnable end point.

All great military strategists are good at one game, Chess. Chess is a game of war where you have a definite biginning and a definite end. We failed here in defining a winnable end.

Nine years ago, getting Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden were definative ends.  Seven years ago, they were definative ends.  But today – it is irrelevent.  Our calculations for winning didn’t allow for a 10 year war with 500%+ growth on the opposing sides, complete infiltration of not only the United States, but Canada, Europe, Russia, Asia, and Africa as well.  Only Australia remains untouched by Radical Islam and that is because of their very strict immigration and work policies. There is no door.

We have a President helping bin Laden even today with his stance on Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Tunisia. It is WELL DOCUMENTED that the rebels wanting freedom in these countries are Al-Qaeda driven and we have lent our missiles to help their plight.  Does that end a war?  Did Obama trade U.S. Missiles on Libya for bin Laden?

How do we declare a win on a religious war that goes back to Isaac and Ishmael, over 6000 years of turmoil and strife, with the kill of one man – a man more powerful as a martyr than as a man? You don’t.


During the National Anthem…


During the National Anthem this evening, right before the start of the Super Bowl, the cameras flash to GW & Laura Bush – and during the NA the crowd begins to cheer.

Normally – I would very much be against this – however – what a way for Americans to show their unhappiness with the current administration and his direction for our country.


Obama, China President Hu Share Intimate White House Dinner


 And here is their conversation:

 Barack Obama (BO): Welcome to the White House my dear friend.

 Dictator Hu Jintao (HJ): Thank you.  Thank you for allowing me to see my investment.

 BO: You have long been an Idol of mine.  You and your predecessors.  I hope to learn much from this meeting.

 HJ: Thank you.  Your progressive mind is just not yet appreciated.

 BO: Yes.  I feel that.  I am trying so hard to make changes and show Americans that they can be as successful as China. As prosperous.  But – they just can’t see the vision I have.

 HJ: Oh, your problem is that you need a military force that intimidates – puts your citizens in line.  Your people do not fear your power. Now look – your country needs to idolize my people and we will make sure they do.

 BO: My power?

 HJ:  You are the president of the United States – the most powerful man in the world. The problem is that you don’t show it enough and use that power here.

 BO: HMMM.  I guess you’re right. It’s Congress.  I need more support. I need them to see and feel my vision.

 HJ: I don’t have a Congress. I have a team of people who do what I say. They see what I tell them to see and have no feelings.

 BO: But what about the Constitution? People have rights here.

 HJ: No, No, No! There are no rights other than what we give people.  No church, no free speech, and my military force backs me 100%. You need to have your own military force, prisons with rats, and some public executions. 

 BO: I don’t know.  I just think I can help the people see it legislatively… I mean – we did pass Health Care, a stimulus, and we’ve been able to keep people on welfare and unemployment fairly successfully.  We only need 2-3% more to be in line with unemployment for a socialist country.

 HJ: And your people hate you.  Take away everything first, use force, kill a few dozen people and then – only then – give back slowly.  The state is everything – the people need to depend on you. Then you are the hero.

 BO:  People would call me Hitler. They don’t understand what Hitler was trying to accomplish.

 HJ: Listen here you sniveling wimp – either do or do not.  It doesn’t matter who they put in this office – thanks to you, the U.S. will belong to China for a long, long time. If you don’t have the balls I will find someone who does.

BO: Oh, my great inspiration, please don’t think ill of me.  I will do.  I will make swift changes – even more-so – I will find a way.

They embrace as brothers and retire to the library for a public reading of Karl Marx’s writings.


Christians, Fence Flaying, Americans and Supporting Obama


My problem with those calling themselves Christians who supported Obama during his run for President and his subsequent take over is that you cannot serve two masters. One master will always ask you to give up the other.

 

Now – God – through the Ten Commandments, an ever disappearing symbol of Judeo-Christian beliefs, plainly states: You shall have no other gods before me.  That’s all God wants.  He doesn’t want you to worship or follow any man above him. Pretty simple.

 

However, this world has a history of people putting their faith in people and it often ends in horrible devastation. Kingdoms, the most powerful in history, have been obliterated.

 

Our world history has many great leaders, men who have the ability to manage people, some to oppress them, and others to persuade to have them work for the masses and taxes since the dawn of time. Saul, Julius Caesar, Ghandi, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler, Confucius, Martin Luther King, Geronimo, George Washington, Malcolm X, George Custer, Joseph Smith, Aga Khan, and how about Alexander the Great?

 

These men had no Internet to spread their word. Most had no TV or radio. The teleprompter was NOT. In the case of some, all they had were loyal men to regionally manage the people below and to adhere to the same ideology. Most great leaders have extremely high IQs and have an eloquence that supersedes the average person. They know enough to manipulate and persuade – for good or evil.

 

In just the very few listed above, the difference among those who succeeded and those who failed is simple… those who adhered to their belief in God OR their unwillingness to be called “master” succeeded and were viewed historically as positive leading figures.  Those who wanted to be revered as God failed horribly and later viewed as having a negative impact historically.

 

My problem with Americans supporting Obama:

If you are a real American, someone who understands that hope and a dream can ONLY be successful through hard work and sacrifice then you probably don’t support Obama.  You see him for what he is, a man who chose to be a Hilter rather than a MLK.

 

He went after the unemployed (in most cases, those who are unemployed because they are illegally employed or unwilling to work) and those on welfare, the teens and colleges, and he went after those who chose to give up a dream and be a drone because working for something is just too hard. He was not above accusations of voter intimidation or fraud.  Cases against both were pursued by Bush’s Department of Justice before he left office and both cases were dropped once Obama took office.  He doesn’t preach equality through hard work or challenge people to make a difference through self example as MLK did, he preaches equality by taking from those who chose to get up everyday and work to give to those who chose not to. Very simple.

 

 

My problem with Fence Flayers supporting Obama:

Fence Flayers are those who cannot make up their mind, do not see right and wrong, and they change their belief system based on who is speaking and how well they do it – with or without the teleprompter.

 

They are dangerous to society because they have no moral code from which to live by – no absolute standard. These people often believe in live and let live and cannot fathom that societal rules are there for a reason.  They are mind changers – going with the wind and content in their own bubble.

 

Fence flayers have opinions that are without reason, cannot make an argument based on fact because they don’t care about facts, and when asked to name one policy they agree with regarding the current administration – they can’t give you one – they just like Obama because he’s Black or has big ears, they like his wife, how she dresses, where she vacations, or their cute little daughters… there is no real empirical reason.

 

My problem with Christians supporting Obama:

This will tick some people off – but it is truth.

 

Christians – or those calling themselves such – will say they believe in the Ten Commandments as a basic set of rules. One of those rules is Thou Shall Not Kill. Those same Christians will turn around and take their wife, daughter, sister, girlfriend or friend to have an abortion.  After all – it’s a woman’s choice whether or not she wants to carry a baby– that is what the government says.  In fact, that baby that has a different blood type and separate heartbeat, according to the government, is tissue. It is the law.

 

But then those same Christians, who know that late term abortion is not legal, will support one Senator Obama in his efforts to ensure that live birth abortion survivors can be disposed of humanely in acquiring funding for a closet where late term live birth abortion surviving babies can be placed, not fed or held, but left to die and recorded as an aborted fetus.  This hospital, Christ Hospital, is located in Oak Lawn, Illinois – suburb of Chicago.

“On March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late term labor-induced abortion. Obama rose to object that if the bill passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the law would “forbid abortions to take place.” Obama further explained the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not allow somebody to kill a child, so if the law deemed a child who survived a late-term labor-induced abortion had a right to live, “then this would be an anti-abortion statute.””

 

Christians – or those calling themselves such – will say they believe that when they read the Bible they believe that is God speaking to them. They believe that the Bible and the principles therein are principles to live by.  

 

  • God speaks of Free Will – Obama of Government Approved Choice

  • God speaks of “He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.” – Obama believes those who work should feed those who choose not to and live in their fantasy.

 

  • God speaks “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”  Obama continues to rape the country of money and borrows from other countries to weaken our strength and implement his social policy to squelch Free Will.

 

  • God believes people have the CHOICE to not work and fail, “The sluggard’s craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.” – Obama believes that the government must support all people regardless of their choices.

 

  • God says a liar is a thief against those exposed to the lie so you should speak the truth, “Do not let your mouth lead you into sin.”  -  Obama lies SO often that there are websites tracking them and have had to break them down into subsections by topic.

 

  • God says that we are made in His image and should not be self loathers – Obama’s struggle within himself permeates and has caused racial division all over again in this country: “Obama alludes to Malcolm X’s autobiography, where Malcolm railed at the white man who had raped his grandmother, saying, “If I could drain away his blood that pollutes MY body, and pollutes MY complexion, I’d do it! Because I hate every drop of the rapist’s blood that’s in me!” The passage takes up one paragraph in Malcolm X’s autobiography, a book of 455 pages. Yet it is one that stuck in Obama’s mind. Reflecting on the passage, Obama wrote, “I knew that my own white blood would never recede into mere abstraction. I was left to wonder what else I would be severing if and when I left my mother and my grandparents at some uncharted border.” At this point, Obama’s race, he self-determines, is African-American. “

 

Like the Fence Flayer – Christians who support Obama are torn people trying to serve two masters and have no real belief in themselves or their God given rights. Christians who support Obama are as guilty of the sin Obama breeds as if they have done it themselves. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that sows in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that sows in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.

 

To further my point, let me say this, the blind supporting of the “Black Church” in America of Barack Obama because he is the first ½ Black president is completely disappointing to me.  They are so willing to give up every fight for equality, every right for individual freedom, and every right to work hard and be successful from that work just to have someone who looks like them in skin color be President.  They voted for him, believing his lies.  The blindly followed even when they weren’t sure of his policies because they ARE afraid in their communities to speak out against a Black President. Black pastors and preachers who have pointed out Obama’s sin and his anti-Christian policies have had people leave there church to blindly follow their new man-made messiah.

 

We choose the world we live in – we choose it by voting for people to represent us, our moral code and values.  I encourage all Christians, regardless of their ethnicity, to stand up and vote that moral code.  I encourage you to speak out in your communities and say, “Look, we get to live in the most powerful country in the world.  People try every single day to come here just to be as free as we already are.  Stand up and speak AGAINST those trying to make us into a Third World country.  Stand up and SPEAK that you are not willing to support someone who CHOOSES to not work hard and sacrifice and struggle – even if it is your brother or sister, friend or enemy. BE AN AMERICAN and realize this administration is NOT AMERICAN!”


When a Conservative visits Austin… Texas that is…


“Sir, would you please help me break the lense on my sunglasses so I can slash my throat?”

The Alamo, Twin Towers and a Dead Document


So last night my son talked me into watching “The Alamo” – John Wayne version. He wants to know why people say “Remember the Alamo” when the Alamo was a lost battle. In Texas, all 7th graders take the History of Texas and they start in the 1500’s, so right now he’s still back there with LaSalle, but they flip ahead to make it exciting and talk about how Texas became a country. 

The whole purpose of the Battle of the Alamo was to give Sam Houston a couple of weeks to get his troops assembled and weaponized to battle against the great Generalissimo Santa Anna.

 

Texians wanted to be free, to no longer live under the rule of Mexico, and would have to defeat one of the greatest armies of its day to do it. With just a handful of men from three different factions, including Davey Crockett and his 65 men from Tennessee, there was a 13 day “war” where less than 300 people tried to buy time for General Sam Houston against thousands of Santa Anna’s troops.  

 

It took Santa Anna less than two hours in full attack mode to defeat the Alamo and kill every Texian within its walls.

 

You see, the soldiers and militia of men inside those walls knew they were going to die. They knew they were out numbered 10 to 1. William Travis, Jim Bowie, Davey Crockett, and all of their men willingly died because they believed that their deaths would be worth the greater good. Their fight would give Sam Houston what he needed to succeed and beat Santa Anna a mere six weeks later and the Republic of Texas was created. 

 

Its own country, the Republic of Texas, had no real military, just militia, men with dreams who wanted to live free. They were from places like Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and other places along the southeast. Some were true Texans, men like Juan Seguin who, even as a governor for Mexico, assisted the Texians.

 

Now we have modern day America, where Texas has become a state within the framework of the United States, because as a state, they are under the prevue of protection of the great military forces of the United States.  The United States federal government has a mission to build an infrastructure, build military forces, and protect their borders, while ensuring that ALL Americans are not only guaranteed their individual rights and freedoms, but that they have the right to protect themselves.

 

Slowly but surely, those rights have eroded.

 

  • If a burglar breaks into your house and you shoot him, he or his family can sue you for excessive force.
  • If you have a ranch and put up fences and people cross your fence line, you can do nothing to protect your herd, family, belongings, or property.
  • You apply for a job and are completely qualified but are not a good candidate because they have a quota to fill which puts someone less qualified into that position.  We call it reverse discrimination, but now it’s called equality.
  • Being an American, you have the right to exercise Free Speech.  Exercise free speech and you can lose your job, scholarship, program of study, and be ostracized for not being “politically correct”.

 

The erosion of rights and the failure of our Federal Government to due their job diligently:  September 11th and the swift action by invaders is proof of that. 

 

But you see – there are still Americans willing to give all for their country – to ensure that their country will exist to the framework guaranteed by the Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

 

After every disaster, they are there.  After every infraction, they go back to work. They are preparing their families and teaching their children to be prepared for hell that accompanies every “great” empire that falls. They still believe in “We the People”.

 

The Constitution, the gift from God to be an individual and have free will, this country – this unique and amazing country – is under attack because of our lack of knowledge and respect for the rules we should have enforced but didn’t.

 

This week is Constitution Week.  It is the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America.  Would you die to protect your country? Would you give up the mini-mansion and “things” to take up arms and protect your country? Would you, like those men at the Alamo, lay your life down if you knew it would make your children free, restrict the Federal Government back to what was intended it to be, and give the State back the power to govern through real local votes? If you are an American and refuse to teach your children their rights and you refuse to stand up for freedom, then the Constitution becomes a dead document and this country goes with it.

 

 

 

 


Adolf, Barack, Panache, and Puppets


This comparison will feature Obama as Hitler – except Hitler was much more the genius. Hitler had no teleprompter, no speech writers, and no pre-determined group to elevate to levels of power in his government.  He was a loner who hated and despised success of those “rich”.  He spent his days with eloquent speech in the parks and bars just talking to the angry who would listen.  I don’t think Hitler ever thought his rise would be so swift and quick – and had circumstances been any different in any other way in Germany at that time, he would have simply been a lunatic in the park or in the bars and basements trying to get the unemployed and laborers to riot.  He would have been arrested for incitement of “treason” against the country.

 

Conditions were ripe. Germany’s failure in World War I, their economic conditions were severely sloped, unemployment was over 30%, and there was a short, angry, well educated, young man with no fear of speaking before people who had read a book by Anton Drexler which conveyed the idea of one strong government enabled by the working of its people, well, people of non-Jewish heritage.  They were to be removed.  This combination, along with Hitler’s mental health issues of psychotic narcissism and ideas of grandioso made him into an absolutely unstoppable force and had he had the restraint to be satisfied with Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bavaria and perhaps Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and maybe some other smaller countries, he would have been much more successful with his other agendas. His IQ was pegged between 124 – 143, with most believing 135 – 145.

 

Hitler’s major success was the hearts of man – winning the hearts of men. When you have the ability to encourage people to leave their hearts at the floor of a demolished church, re-educate the young, and say “Government is your God” you have done an amazing thing. You have taken what the soul knows to be truth and replaced it with the promise of something the world can never deliver.

 

So – how does Barack Hussein Obama compare to Hitler?  He actually doesn’t except in agenda and mental health.

 

Obama does not have the genius to do anything alone.  He is a puppet for the puppet master in Bill Ayers, simply someone who looks good in a suit, not too black and not too white, not too Muslim or a Christian. He is not too American nor is he too African, Indonesian, or anything else. He has no sense of patriotism, something Hitler did have, nor a sense of hard work for accomplishments. Through all of Obama’s failures, there was ALWAYS some one in a group to pick him back up, brush him off, and monetarily make a puppet, where at that one right time in history, they could try to take over.  That time is now.

 

Obama’s IQ, based on the his personality, crutches (teleprompter, inability to speak or deliver spur of the moment answers, and his self loathing – belonging to a white hating church and married to a woman whose thesis was based on white hate), along with his difficulties in school and college peg him at between 100-117 with reliable university sources stating it is 116. Clearly average.  Liberal press and PR have tried relentlessly to tell the American people he is a genius, as well, at 145-165 – but face it, Obama does not have the brains or the panache to pull it off.

 

Because Obama has that one same mental health flaw of Hitler, narcissism, he makes a GREAT puppet with his lack of IQ, whereas Hitler could have never been satisfied with the role of puppet – he was the puppet master.

 

Canadian Free Press on Obama:

“Narcissists don’t have access to normal empathy; thus they don’t experience guilt and shame the way the rest of us do.  Some narcissists learn to mimic normal human emotions. Clinton is the master of this; he claimed to feel our pain, and plenty of Americans believed him.  Clinton learned how to win people over with his pseudo empathy.  Obama has yet to demonstrate anything we could call true empathy; irrespective of the words he uses, there is no real emotional content. What Obama does do, however, is manipulate others into feeling guilty for America’s perceived sins.”

 

They continue: ”It’s not a coincidence that many domestic abusers are narcissists:

Product of Harvard and Columbia Universities, President Barack Obama declared his desire to ‘fundamentally transform the United States of America.’ But why? An emotionally stable man in love with a woman does not wish to ‘fundamentally transform’ her. Yet our President would have us believe that when the object of his love is his country, he has license to remake his loved one into something he’d really love—really.”

As Carl Vogel said:  “The beauty of being a narcissist is that even when disaster stares you in the face, you feel neither doubt no remorse.” 

 

Can we not say that over the past 22 month this is an accurate reflection of Obama?

 

Everyone keeps saying “wait until November” but the battle for our country, even if a politic party tide changes in November will not be won and lost in an election… it has to be won and lost by the people.  Our country and our way of life, as a Republic, a Nation, united cannot be united if the fundamental aspects of our way of life are not protected. Only we, as people, a group of citizens banning together, believing in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, believing we have the right to freedom and not a large overbearing government who controls our health, our earnings, our dreams, our ideas, and people – being free means being free to succeed and to fail. It means working hard for that success and that there are real consequences in life.

 

  • It concerns me that Obama has a pseudo-czarists government.

 

  • It concerns me that Obama has a pseudo army filled with young angry black men who chose personal failure and a slew of undocumented people from Muslim counties within our country that would fight for him.

 

  • It concerns me that there are so many “so-called” Christians in churches who stand by a man who has done everything to prove he is not a Christian and does not follow a Biblical doctrine, nor does he display character and wisdom.

 

  • It concerns me that people in this country knew he belonged for 20 years to an anti-America, white hating church that called themselves Christians and pledged their allegiance to Africa before America or God and overlooked it.

 

  • It concerns me that they know as Senator Obama, he helped fund a “death room” for live babies born from late term abortions.  Babies who took a breath, cried for food, cried for love and were placed on shelves in a closet and nurses told NOT to hold or feed them.

 

  • It concerns me that people would let a government take command of their health. If you are sick, born with disabilities, get too old and have ailments, have children with an incurable disease – they are liabilities – budget cuts, not people, living breathing with rights.

 

  • It concerns me that a president would tell other countries how ashamed he is of our military history to other countries, many of whom would no longer exist had we not been involved at one time or another – Afghanistan included.

 

  • It concerns me when Obama’s lackeys use words like “Re-education” so that Americans can be more receptive of his agenda.

 

So – sorry – November is just a step.  It’s not a win of a war on socialism.  It is not a victory in the sense of saving our fundamental rights to exist as a free country. It will not seal our borders nor deport non-citizens. November is not victory – but it is a necessary win of a battle.

 

So vote. Vote your conscious.  Vote for your God given right to free will. Vote for your God given right to be an individual. Vote for your God given right to choose your destiny through success or failure.  Vote to make every drop of soldiers blood every spilled in protection of this country to have been worth it.

 


Writing a Country Song Gets you Fired in Tennessee…


From Todd Starnes website:

A Tennessee middle school football coach said he got fired after he wrote a song that criticized President Obama.

Bryan Glover, an assistant coach at Grassland Middle School near Nashville, co-wrote the country music song, “When You’re Holding a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail.”

It was co-written by a parent who has a child on the team. Glover, 26, said he emailed a copy of the song to friends, family members and player’s parents through his personal email account.

And that’s when all the trouble started for the self-described independent conservative.

“The coach called me and said parents were upset – that I was being politically incorrect and the song had racial overtones,” Glover told FOX News Radio. “An hour and a half later I was told I was being terminated.”

“I was informed that I was being let go because of the song,” he said, denying claims there were any racial overtones in the song.

Williamson County School Superintendent Mike Looney disputed Glover’s account and said his dismissal had nothing to do with the song.

“Absolutely not,” he told FOX News Radio. “That’s a false claim.”

Looney said he was not allowed to go into specifics but acknowledged he spoke with the school’s principal and was satisfied with their handling of the matter.

“They presented me with logical, legally defensible reasons for doing so,” Looney said. “As far as I’m concerned they’ve handled the matter appropriately.”

Glover said he’s angry over what happened and believes he lost his job because his song was critical of President Obama. And he’s not the only one.

“It was a disgrace and we have to stand up for the guy,” said Michael Katsaitis, who has a son on the football team. He said he met with the principal of the school after Glover’s firing and is convinced his dismissal was a result of the song.”

“The first thing she told me was that Bryan’s song was derogatory to our president,” he said. “He shouldn’t have fired over that song.”

Glover said he is seeking legal counsel and may consider a lawsuit against the school.

“First and foremost I’m a conservative,” he said. “I do support what the tea party movement is all about but I’m more Republican than Democrat. I’m an independent conservative who thinks the government tries to have their hand in way too many things.”

“I’m pretty heated,” he said. “I’m just a blue-collar guy, trying to make a living, trying to chase a dream.”

Following are the lyrics to his song:

He was a little man, just turned three

Took the present from his daddy’s hand

A genuine toy hammer

He started beatin’ to beat the band

He hit the floors and the wall, broke a lamp in the hall,

Started swinging at the puppy’s tail

When you’re holding a hammer

Everything looks like a nail.

He was the president, number 44

He says, “Trust me, I’m here to help you

I have got some big big plans

You’re gonna love what I’m gonna do.”

There’s no problem too big or small

He thinks he’s got an answer that just can’t fail

When you’re holding a hammer

Everything looks like a nail.

He thinks big thoughts and he dreams big dreams

But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes

He don’t care how the little people feel

‘Cause saving the world is a big freaking deal

So he does his business behind closed doors

And pretends that the world is just begging for more

When the stuff hits the fan he says, “Don’t look at me

If you got trouble, blame 43.”

Now Congress is saving Wall Street

While they’re watching Main Street fall

They got health care all figured out

But it don’t seem to care much at all

As soon as they save the planet

They’ll put the fire out in hell

When you’re holding a hammer.

Everything looks like a nail.

He thinks big thoughts and he dreams big dreams

But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes

He don’t care how the little people feel

‘Cause saving the world is a big freaking deal

So he does his business behind closed doors

And pretends that the world is just begging for more

When the stuff hits the fan he says, “Don’t look at me

If you got trouble, blame 43.”

There’ll be a party come this November

When we’re gonna set things straight

All good people gonna gather ‘round

Gonna show what made this country great

We’ll run off the schemers and backroom dealers

So the Red, White and Blue will prevail

When we’re holding the hammer

When we’re holding the hammer

Everyone of them looks like a nail.

What Happens When We Forget…


We have a whole generation of voters who did not learn about the Cold War let alone the horrifically violent WWII and it shows.  We have a generation of voters who will never meet a Holocaust survivor, think Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Mao were just trying to help their people, and that us over 35 are telling fairy tales when we speak of it. We have an election of a President that reflects our decisions to NOT educate our children on these matters.

I implore you – summer is but a few days to end for most of our kids… so to the public library, find books or movies which show what happens when governments go out of control and talk about it.

This cartoon below is a good start:


John Wayne, jarheads, and burning bras


Last night I got home just in time to watch “McLintock!”, one of my favorite John Wayne flicks that I haven’t seen in probably 20 years. I was glad to have watched it as there is about a 7 minute exchange of Americanism in the film – a rare find these days. 

In McLintock, a bunch of farmers from the north and east are moving into cattle country with a hand-out of land (160 acres) from the federal government. McLintock tries to tell these homesteaders that you can’t farm the high desert.  

One young man from Oklahoma, with a sister and mother to feed keeps trying to get a job as a cattle hand… has to practically beg because McLintock doesn’t want anything to do with these ignorant intrusive people who couldn’t possibly understand that staying and making a successful life on 160 acres of high desert means earning EVERY SINGLE bit of it. 

When the young man thanks McLintock for “giving” him a job, here is where classic Americana John Wayne shows through.  It’s a beautiful speech and exchange. 

In paraprashing:

Give.  Son, I didn’t “give” you anything.  Do you plan on working an honest hard day every day?

 Yes

You work a hard day for me and I’ll pay you a fair wage for that work.  That is how it works.  There is no “giving” here.

Now, I realize that most people under 30 have probably never even seen this or any other John Wayne flick.  Maybe that is where we have screwed up.

Fortunately, I had the classic “jarhead” for a grandfather. He was a Marine for 25 years who fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He liked Bonzanza and John Wayne flicks so if you wanted to spend time with him, you didn’t talk during either. You were spoon-fed God, Country, Family. You had moral values because it was taught at home with a belt to your backside when you stepped out of line, it was seen on the screen with films and TV shows that didn’t morally degrade society, and you knew that cowboys weren’t always right, that the Indians should have won more than they did, and that just because the Yankees wore blue uniforms didn’t make them the good guys.

I realize that most everything out of Hollywood today is pure drivel. They either remake a classic with a new twist to fit modern social issues or come out with some film where you have to be compassionate about a modern social issue.

The way I see it – we need more John Wayne and less wallowing in our own sin then deciding it’s a “right”.  We need more men to stand up and be men, than trying to make them into sissies by treating our young men as girls.

  • It makes me sick to read about a teacher dressing up little boys as girls when she is teaching about fashion. What the heck is this 3rd grade teacher teaching? In 3rd grade, I think the focus should be on reading, writing, and arithmetic, not fashion and cross-dressing.
  • It makes me sick when I see that four young teenage boys are told to change their clothing and threatened with expulsion for wearing t-shirts with the American Flag on it to school because it may incite a riot among the Hispanic students. Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday – not American holiday.  It would be like me going to France and expecting them to celebrate the 4th of July because I am there, I am American, and hello, it’s my holiday. 
  • It makes me sick to see college students, good students who work hard and strive to do well, get expelled or threatened with expulsion due to their moral convictions. You have medical students who won’t get letters of recommendation because they believe in God. You have graduate counseling students who won’t affirm morally offensive behavior and are expelled or threatened. They are told they need “re-education” to be more tolerant of what they know to be wrong.
  • It makes me sick to have colleges and universities where you could burn your bra in the 60’s and riot about Vietnam in the early 70’s, but 40 years later you cannot speak against the liberal agenda. This happened in both Germany and Russia – if you wanted a college education, you had to support to governments policies.

 You will either stand up for the kind of America where equality means you have the equal opportunity earned to succeed or fail – and if you fail, it’s allowed or you will stand up for socialism – a failed political ideology and its stripping away of America.
