<br />
<br />
Whodda thunk it?<br />
<br />
Of the entire field of Presidential candidates, a non-politician was elected and no matter how much some people don't, can't, or won't accept it, it happened nonetheless. Suck it up, buttercups!<br />
Brexit has spread and the people that were once the middle class, and are now struggling, have opted for serious change.<br />
<br />
My Father, God rest his soul, no doubt would've voted for Trump. Trump's abstract intelligence and communication skills aside, he speaks his mind and is a very wealthy businessman. Dad was a perennial salesman and entrepreneur; owning/operating a number of different type businesses. I learned from him that a man's word is his bond and a handshake is a contract. The old man would never have voted for Hillary.<br />
<br />
While a bit of a sexist, Dad was a cheerleader for only two women politicians; Condi Rice and Margaret Thatcher. He thought nothing of speaking his mind, referring to the rest of the women in politics as "stupid or dumb ass bitches" or the 'C' word. Hillary (and Pelosi for that matter) would've warranted the 'C' word.<br />
Like I said, a sexist and I believe a selective one at that. A Republican to his core.<br />
<br />
I myself don't understand how anyone could've voted for Hillary. Just because she's a woman? If Condi Rice had run for POTUS, Dad would have voted for her. I heard him say that after she left the GW administration. <br />
<br />
I remember these things because Dad was vocal about his politics, as well as a Bill O'Reilly addict. The last person he voted for was Mitt (by mail) Prior to that, we're all pretty sure he hadn't voted since the Eisenhower administration. <br />
<br />
But I digress...I just couldn't help thinking about him extensively during this election cycle.<br />
<br />
While I've been voting since the Nixon era, (yea, do the math) this one seemed like it was more than just ugly.<br />
Politics is by no means a pretty game and, as often happens, horrible things suddenly crawl out from their deepest, darkest holes. Secrets and skeletons rise mysteriously from their crypts.<br />
What did they dig up on Trump? <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A recording from over 2 decades ago about grabbing a woman in the wrong place. He admitted it and apologized. Does that make him a sexist misogynist? I'm firm that's just not enough evidence to support that accusation. </li>
<li>Collusion with the Russians to alter the outcome of the election? That one can only be attributed to CNN. Even the hacking of the DNC hasn't truly been linked to the Russians.</li>
<li>Won't release his tax returns. Is it required under law for presidential candidates? Nope. Do we care? Nope. We already know he's rich.</li>
<li>Is Trump a racist because he wants to close our borders and enforce immigration laws? I'm all for controlling who comes in to our country. Terrorism has already hit here and unwanted deportees keep coming back only to cause some type of carnage. It's time that those who have been here illegally make an attempt to seek the path to citizenship. We need to prevent and deter further acts of terrorism.</li>
<li>Islamophobic? At this point, if you haven't thought about it, then you're a serious progressive who lives in Michael Moore's fantasy world. We should be afraid. Seriously afraid. CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are certified terrorist organizations. Islamic terrorism is a real and dangerous threat. While we can't lump all who practice Islam in to one single category, it's a thin and precarious line. How do we sort through that mess? The answer is still not within our grasp, but Trump has made it clear that Immigration laws need to be enforced. A Muslim registry? Far fetched and an unlikely prospect. These are things that have to go through Congress. Trump is not a dictator, but our previous POTUS had his pen and phone and managed to 'dictate' via executive fiat on more than one occasion. Congress was full of pussies. Did all those rich and famous balk at Obama's dictates? </li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Anti-Semite? That's seriously laughable. Hitler-esk? Hitler exterminated over a million Jews and convinced his country that it was in their best interest to follow him or die. His son in law, whom Trump obviously trusts, is Jewish and his daughter has converted to Judaism. For the first time in over 3 decades, a Rabbi gave a benediction at a Presidential Innaguration. Isolationist Revisionism? Why? Because he wants to put America first? How is that a bad thing?</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh hell, I could write about this all day. I won't.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now Hillary, on the other hand, has a very long list of reasons why she should not be President. Yet, the liberal left progressives who are so utterly tolerant that they tear cities apart, cannot see beyond their cosmetically altered noses. They gave a shit load of money to her campaign and that didn't do a hell of a lot to help her. She never actually outlined her plans for her administration. In fact, she appeared to be the queen of double talk. She would only be a continuation of Obama's legacy. The voters obviously wanted no more of that shit. Popular vote or electoral vote, it didn't matter. This country utilizes the electoral college for a reason and has done so for centuries. It only sucks when Democrats lose.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Those with all the money are trying to shame the average American for voting Trump. Who gives a shit what an over paid celebrity thinks? Actually, they're trying to tell you and me what we should do and how we should think. Isn't THAT Hilter's wonderful world of fascism? I firmly believe in the 1st Amendment and in ALL the rest of them, including that beautiful 2nd amendment.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, if people want to protest, go ahead. Who cares? Just stop destroying property and spewing hate filled rants trying to ratchet up the violence to a whole new level. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to label someone based on one incident, you're more narrow minded than you claim others to be. Remember who Hillary is, what she's done and who she married. She only stayed married to Billy Bob for political purposes. If he was my spouse, I would NOT have covered up his predatory ways nor would I have stayed married to his sorry, horny ass! Seems Huma didn't follow in her great leader's footsteps.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She is seriously corrupt, lied under oath, lied to the public about Benghazi, has been indifferent and turned a deaf ear to the average citizen of this country. Her actions over her private server bordered on treason and left her emails open for hacking. The entire DNC collapsed within itself due to so many undeniably disgusting facts coming forth. The chair of the DNC resigned over the scandal. Who in their right mind wants more of that? No, don't blame Hillary's loss on the Russians. They sunk their own boat and Hillary was the Captain. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I certainly can't say that Trump was the perfect candidate over Hillary. He was the ONLY candidate - unless you just wanted to waste your vote on Jill Stein. Yea, the one who had about 2% of the vote and wanted a recount. Obviously a Hillary supporter. Or, she was paid generously to make the accusation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't know how long it's going to take for Trump haters to get past the fact that he's going to be here for awhile. Some of the serious celebrity agitators foresee Trump being impeached or just not making it through his 4 year term. Just for that, I hope he does and I hope that if he runs again, he's re-elected.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Screw all you nay sayers. The people have spoken and they didn't choose YOUR sorry candidate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't scream Hitler unless you're looking in the mirror.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">There are factions far more deadlier than the average thug on the street. Not to minimize our thugs, because they are becoming exceedingly dangerous too.

<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"> In the minds of the violent and dangerous, the assassination of a group of people in the name of "justice" is a right. Putting aside the fact that 2 wrongs don't make a right, there is hatred and disgust for those who protect us every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">The deafening voices of the many angry followers crying racism accusing our protectors of stereotyping. Yet, a certain group trained and dedicated in protecting the rights of all citizens are painted with the same brush. Isn't there a certain hypocrisy in that theory? Certainly there are bad people everywhere and in every group and they don't discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, sex, etc. We are not a perfect species and it's highly unlikely we ever will be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Yep, the world is falling apart and there is plenty of blame to go around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">As a former law enforcement officer, I can say without a doubt that I have seen and experienced some of life's beautiful moments and some of life's wretchedness. I have been shot at (and missed), spat upon, assaulted, threatened and called by more vulgar names than you can imagine. Because I took an oath before I pinned on that badge, I endured it. No more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Our world is changing rapidly. Throughout the decades law enforcement has gone from being the good guys to becoming the bad guys. Why? Who is to blame and how do we change it? Can it even be changed? With the continued threat to our country's security, we should all be thankful that there are people out there willing to risk their own lives in an effort to deter, apprehend and prosecute those that would threaten our way of life. But no, home grown terrorism, fueled by more hate and a twisted sense of justice that starts at the top, continues spreading its tentacles throughout our great country. Now our politicians want to literally handcuff police and take away the tools necessary to protect themselves and others. Are they serious? A softer image, you say? They're already afraid to do their jobs for fear of reprisals. They're being gunned down in the streets and you want to take away all manner of defending themselves and others? In order to effectively perform their duties, they need all the right tools. They also need us, the citizenry, to watch their back by supporting them 100%.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">There are those that would argue that America was never great. To you, I say, "How dare you?" Sure, she made mistakes along the way but she changed, recovered and moved on. Again, we are not a perfect species. However, if you do not like the democratic way of life that America provides you, I say, "Go away and find some place more suited to your needs."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Our way of life is threatened and terrorists, both here and abroad, despise us and all that we stand for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">These same politicians-you know, those folks who thought it would be really cool to stage a sit in in the house chamber-also want to make this all about gun control. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Terrorists are getting them. Oh, wait! Terrorists? In our country? No! The hell you say!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">WAKE.THE. FUCK.UP! You left the door open, fools!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Those guys sitting on their asses want your guns. The guns we need to protect ourselves from the continued violence that the present administration seems to be egging on. There's a reason for the steady increase in gun sales. They will not get my guns. I will defend myself and I am thankful to live in a red state where the right to defend one's self and the right to bear arms is part of the state's Constitution. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I sit and ponder what our future holds. Will our warring factions allow for both the DNC and RNC to proceed with their party's particulars and nominations? Rumor has it that more chaos and rioting is planned in an effort to disrupt our political process. Do we need more anarchy, destruction and murder? How is it ok to do these things because you believe one particular candidate is a racist bully? The other candidate is a pathological liar and has blood on her hands. Is she any better? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">You know that jackass in the White House? He made us. A country is only as good as its leader and right now, our leader f'n sucks. He has done so much to screw up this country and has lied so much....the list is too long.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">What's left for us to do? For one thing, let's settle down and stop the needless destruction and slaughter of innocents. Let us establish a dialogue that is not one sided and where one party doesn't shout down the other. Pointing fingers, blaming one side, and calling each other names solves nothing. Politicians need to step up to the plate and stop pandering and blaming before the facts are all in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Can the members of BLM stop and think? The more militant you become, the more you become a threat. #Alllivesmatter #Bluelivesmattertoo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">In my lifetime I have been witness to many tragic events. Some so memorable and devastating that I often wish I could wipe those terrible events from my memory. The wanton assassination of law enforcement officers is nothing short of horrific.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Take the time to thank the men and women who serve and protect you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Were it not for them and their sacrifices, our country would be in a far worse state.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To my Brothers and Sisters who wear the badge upon their chest -</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Leadership. <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;">It's a fickle thing. The standard definition is (n) which means to lead or direct or guide a group. For instance, our illustrious leader, The O'blamer. He was elected to lead the most powerful nation in the world and swore to defend the Constitution and to protect our nation from its enemies, both foreign and domestic. One could argue many times over whether he has carried out that oath. The Commander in Chief couldn't lead a squad of ducks.</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A number of situations have occurred in our sovereign nation that are clearly terrorist attacks. Our leader has chosen to remain passive and to lie many times over about the situation in the Middle East, as well as immigration, Obamacare, IRS....and the list just goes on and on. He cannot even call out the obvious; those who are doing their best to terrorize our way of life ARE muslim extremists. </span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Our leader has aligned himself with our enemies and chosen to piss off our allies. He has decimated our military and we were once the most powerful nation in the world. Nations feared us and looked to us for help and guidance. Now, we're the laughing stock of the world and completely vulnerable to our enemies. Obama remains indifferent and makes back room deals with untrusted leaders of countries who have no ethics when it comes to human rights. </span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Obama has clearly divided our country by inciting rioting, looting, racism, and rebellions ad nauseam. I'm sure he's sitting back in the Oval office with his feet on the desk, having a smoke and basking in all his destruction and misery. He cares nothing for this country or our allies. Instead, he is fascinated with basketball, golf, fund raisers and movie stars. </span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Here we are....at a crossroads. Our leader sends our country's sympathies and less than one day before, lied to the American public by saying ISIS is contained. Really? Since just about the entire European Union and the US has opened its borders and allowed refugees to enter without any kind of vetting process, we are clearly in deep shit. Will we have another 9/11? There's no telling, but odds are the bombings we've experienced are only a prelude of things to come. </span></span></div>

<br />
I'm confused. That's kind of a regular state of mind at my age and not always an unwelcome state. Being confused can keep me from hurting my head by not thinking about all the whys and wherefores of our sad country.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Donald Trump is right. Certainly not a political diplomat, but he's right on so many levels. I sincerely doubt he will be elected our next President, but he sure is stirring the pot of controversy and making us think. He's saying what every politician is afraid to.<br />
<br />
But this is not about Donald Trump. This is about my state of confusion. Confused that everything that is wrong with this country has now been accepted as right.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when the IRS was a stand alone agency that couldn't be controlled by any one party? Now there's more than a smidgen of corruption and no one has been prosecuted or held accountable. It's accepted.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when subpoenas from government committees and senate hearings were generally intimidating, bringing out fear and mostly the truth? Now no one cooperates and the truth is hidden by a corrupt administration. It's acceptable to lie to Congress.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when Benghazi was all about a video when in fact it was preventable and lives were lost unnecessarily? The cover up is immense and starts at the top. Yet, the truth is hidden, the administration refuses to cooperate and liberals everywhere scream witch hunt from the GOP. But it's okay and accepted. There's nothing more to see here. Move along.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when a thug was a a hoodlum, villain, gangster? Now they're heroes preaching violence, drug dealing and rape. If you don't believe otherwise, you're a racist.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when looting, arson, vandalism were crimes? Now it's acceptable all in the name of criminals being killed by police. Police are now the enemy and it's literally heroic to assassinate a cop all because there's a perceived impression of racism and oppression against blacks. Just ask Obama. If he had a son, they would grow up to be just like them. Law enforcement should present a kinder, softer look and military equipment isn't necessary. Never mind the fact that people want to kill them and you don't want them to defend themselves. Dumb ass DiBlasio says let's eliminate stop & frisk. Watch the crime rate soar because cops are now afraid to do their jobs. Listen to people bitch about that. You can't have it both ways.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when we could all make our own decisions about whether we needed to pay for health insurance? Obamacare was shoved down our throats with predictions from the opposition of skyrocketing costs, death panels, small businesses suffering negative financial effects and the promise repeated over and over again; "If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it." That never materialized and yet, Obama's broken promise has long been forgotten by liberals. It's acceptable for him to use prosecutorial discretion, changing laws with impunity. He's not a President. He's a dictator and no one sees it? After all, to disagree with this President in any way is racist.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when the 1st Amendment to the Consttitution, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion was a widely accepted form of guaranteed right? That as citizens of this great country we were entitled to those inalienable rights? Not anymore. <br />
<br />

Our government wants to censor what we say and how we report the news. They want us to come over to their way of thinking. People could and did voice their opinions about other religions, especially when people were willing to kill for it. Now, if we open our mouth about the wrongs of someone else's religion, we're at fault for the casualties because we "insulted" them. Yet, that is only a one way street. Now, there are people who want to repeal this Amendment and strip us of those rights. I'm confused. Isn't that wrong?<br />
<br />
Do you remember the now controversial 2nd Amendment? The right to bear arms has been a part of our lives and history since before the Revolutionary war. We liberated ourselves from those nasty Redcoats, fighting against the oppression of an evil monarchy. In wars with other countries, civilians took up arms. Now that bad guys can get their hands on a gun some how or some way, the best thing to do is just outlaw guns. That'll fix everything, won't it? Go ahead, you wussies. Bring that knife to a gun fight.<br />
<br />
Do you remember Fast & Furious? Our illustrious President sold guns to cartels? The anti gun leader of the free world thought they could arrest and dismantle the cartels by giving them arms. That backfired in the nastiest of ways. A Border Patrol agent died at the hands of the cartel while using Obama's gift. <br />
<br />
Do you remember when we had the most powerful military in the world and we were feared by nations everywhere? Now this ungrateful administration thinks it's best to cut costs by eviscerating our military and their benefits. Never mind that we are now vulnerable to evil doers everywhere. Yes, GW was on to something there. All the more reason not to repeal our 2nd Amendment.<br />
<br />
Do you remember when an illegal alien was just that? Illegal. <br />

They just broke the law so we should waste no time in the deportation process. Like all the rest of the many millions who immigrated to this country, do it legally. Mexico undoubtedly wants to get rid of their drug lords, gun runners, and other dregs. There's no fence, no repercussions for crossing the border. Just claim amnesty and you're in. Never mind the fact that the crime rate will increase drastically in those sanctuary cities and they're a burden on our already overcrowded prisons and government hand outs. Don't forget, we are promising you that you can vote in our elections even if you're illegal. Seriously? <br />
<br />
Do you remember all the scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton? Hell, there's so many I can't keep track. Never mind that she has lied under oath or has refused to testify. Never mind that her financial dealings are questionable (but they were broke when they left the White House) that the Benghazi fiasco is over and no longer makes a difference.

She announces her candidacy for President, yet won't speak to the press. If we don't vote or support her, we're sexist. It really doesn't matter if she's knee deep in all this muck. What's wrong is now right.<br />
<br />
There's so many scandals surrounding our illustrious leaders. It's alright now because it would be racist to disagree and it's not Obama's fault. <br />
<br />
It's racist to fly that Confederate flag almost anywhere. It's racist to have a name like the Washington Redskins. Our controlling government tells the patent office to deny them the rights to that name because, well, they can.<br />
<br />
Do we dare mention Gitmo and the release of known terrorists without the consent of Congress? It's an impeachable offense but do we dare start impeachment hearings? No-no. Can't do that. It's racist and too much of a political hot potato.<br />
<br />
Beau Bergdahl was a war hero who served with honor and distinction? His fellow soldiers and the Army would disagree. Obama no doubt paid somebody and there's serious religious implications. That Marine held in Mexico....Obama stays silent.<br />
<br />
Ft. Hood--act of terrorism or workplace violence? <br />
<br />
Al Sharpton - racist charlatan or civil rights leader? Oh, please. Someone put this tax evader in jail once and for all. Oh, wait. He went to the White House. He's special and it would be racist to put him in jail. Is anything not racist? <br />
<br />
So, Donald Trump has ditched political correctness in the name of what's right. He doesn't care if people perceive him as a racist or want to cut ties with his business ventures. He's not bowing to political correctness and the media is trying desperately to make him out to be a general nut case. The GOP is up in arms and accuse him of painting their party in an unfavorable light. The GOP has long ago painted themselves into a corner, and it sure ain't pretty. <br />
<br />
The media....what happened there? They won't report the truth because it would be racist. Stick with only half truths and stories that fit their agenda. There is no true investigative reporting anymore. It's slanted and twisted, favoring their own liberal party--right or wrong.<br />
<br />
Does anyone remember this country before Obama? When things were more right than wrong?<br />

After many changes in my life, I thought I would have the time and inclination to get back in to blogging. Instead, I have chosen to fly in to the land of Twitter and have become obsessed with those postings of 140 characters or less. If you've been as hesitant as I have about wandering over to Twitter, let me warn you, it borders on Face-crack. Sometimes you just can't turn yourself away. <br />
In today's world of social media, I have sadly been assimilated in to little snippets of news and little known facts.<br />
<br />
My tweets cover a wide range of topics, but mostly they revolve around current events. Somehow, that POS President of ours monopolizes my random tweets. I am an avid reader and I have found that I can be all over the map when it comes to reading on line news organizations. I must say that both the conservative and liberal news media have had their own individual issues. There doesn't seem to be any real, hard core journalists out there willing to ferret out the truth, no matter how many rocks they have to turn over. In fact, it's like all of the news media has had a pitcher of the proverbial kool-aid. No one wants to make waves, so they report what they've been spoon fed and nothing more. Our state of political correctness has been so all encompassing that we are leery of exercising our 1st Amendment rights for fear of being labeled a "racist" or facing potential legal action. The word "racist" is now so over used, that no one in their right mind (that's the key) takes it seriously anymore.<br />
<br />
Now, as was predicted by some Republican candidates who shall remain nameless, our world is in turmoil and our government has become an international joke. Obama is, by all accounts, begging to be impeached. If his original thought when he took this job was to leave an ever-lasting legacy, he has certainly fulfilled that objective. Some talking heads believe that drafting articles of impeachment against Obama before the elections in November will probably put the Democrats in a more positive light, possibly winning back control of the Senate. Others believe there's no time like the present. <br />
<br />
I personally believe that it's long past time. There are no indications that he will stop signing and passing these executive orders any time soon. He knows he has free rein and that no one has the balls to stop him. It's true.<br />
<span id="goog_265610636"></span><span id="goog_265610637"></span><br />
<br />
Recent stats indicate that as many as 200,000 illegals have crossed the border looking for a free handout. Even that number may be an under estimate. No one truly knows. We can't count on our government to be transparent with actual facts. Americans everywhere are loudly protesting illegals being dumped in their backyards, and are not swayed by the recent term 'refugee.' Illegals with no vaccinations, infectious diseases, criminal records, known gang bangers, and even terrorists, are making their way in to our country unfettered and Obama...DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT. It's the most asinine political ploy ever contrived.<br />
<br />

<br />
Second on that list was the exchange of 5 terrorists from Gitmo for the release of one Army deserter. Yet, our fearless leader refuses to even have an open discussion with Mexican authorities about Sgt. Tahmooressi being held incommunicado on weapons charges.<br />
His inactions on that matter are one of many impeachable offenses. We could go on, but what's the point?<br />
<br />
What are we to do? Stand by and let it happen? Obama is supporting terrorists, both by his actions and by openly financing them. He has effectively turned many against our ally, Israel, with outright accusations and half assed diplomatic negotiations. If I was Netanyahu, I would just give Obama the finger and move on. The Israelis have done an exceptional job of restraint and are not cold, heartless bastards as our President and the liberal news media are attempting to present them. The Palestinians and Hamas don't want peace and will not surrender, consistently releasing propaganda and using cutthroat measures to ensure that the view of Israel is presented negatively.<br />
There are rumors of the UN looking at Israel for war crimes. Are they serious? The liberal progressive agenda has taken a horrid turn. Our enemies are now our allies and vice versa.<br />
Obama kisses Muslim ass and we're turning the corner to Socialism.<br />

There are just too many things wrong with this presidency, too many scandals and too many acts of treason. When will it end? Why are we letting it continue?<br />

It occurred to me that it's been a very long time since I've blogged. Not that I haven't wanted to vent my frustrations or share my humor, but life as we all know it has taken a drastic turn. To say the world has become a horrifyingly violent and pathetic place is, in my opinion, an understatement.<br />
My own personal life has taken a rather drastic turn as well, details of which I will spare you.<br />

<br />
I have never hid the fact that I am a believer in the 2nd amendment. In my varied law enforcement career my ideals and thoughts on gun ownership evolved in to a direction I never thought I'd go. Having witnessed the after effects of victims of violent crimes, especially women and the elderly, I began to encourage people to exercise their 2nd amendment right. <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">BUT</u>, when I encouraged such ideas, I stressed the responsibility that goes with purchasing and owning any firearm. Then I started working in a gun store. Then I joined the NRA. Then I got really angry with many of our anti gun lawmakers (mostly liberal democrats) who think that gun grabbing and limiting how much ammo a gun will hold, will prevent violent crimes and school shootings.<br />
<br />
Most of us logical thinking people know those ideas will resolve nothing. Legislation was recently presented to toughen background checks on gun purchases. The Universal Background Check legislation was doomed from the beginning. It would not have prevented anything. To legally purchase a gun anywhere in the U.S., a background check is required. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Handgun_Violence_Prevention_Act" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: blue;">Brady Act </span></a> was signed in to legislation in 1993. Purchasing a firearm <i>legally</i>, from a licensed FFL dealer, requires a background or NICS (National Instant Background Checks System) check. And that's the key word,<i> legally</i>. While I do believe the NICS system does make a difference, it's not fool proof. If someone wants to get their hands on a firearm, they will do so one way or another.<br />
<br />
Now we have politicians and their followers spouting forth their propaganda on limiting the size of a hand gun's magazine and the ban on "assault weapons." Most of them are ignorant of the very guns they are trying to outlaw.<br />
Sales people, unlike politicians, generally know the product they're trying to sell. If I'm trying to sell someone on the fact that certain firearms should be banned, then I should know what I'm talking about. Let's face it, politicians can often be comparable to your stereotypical sleazy car salesmen. In fact, I think used car salesman might have higher moral standards. But I digress....<br />

Freezing temperatures have descended all over the continental US, and that includes record breaking low temps in the southeast.<br />
Which makes me wonder if these cold temps are causing so much stupid.<br />
This particular little pervert must enjoy getting his rocks off driving around half naked. But, when the temps are in the teens, his little weeny has got to be looking for a place to stay warm.<br />

Unfortunately, when you start scaring little old ladies with your weenycicle, you're probably gonna get caught.<br />

If you're gonna rob a store, you most definitely want to ensure no one can identify you.<br />

Houston, TX<br />
<br />
A woman comes out of the bathroom of a Denny's to discover 6 people in the process of committing a robbery inside the restaurant. The woman, who has a CWP, takes out her gun and starts shooting at the 6 suspects. While the news report doesn't indicate whether any of the suspects were shot, since they all got away, a few cars in the parking lot took some hits.<br />

Hillsborough County, FL<br />
<br />
In red states, where carrying a concealed weapon is legal and you can own a gun without a permit, women have become somewhat empowered with handguns and self defense.<br />
<br />
In this first case, a woman comes to the rescue of another woman being battered by an ex boyfriend.<br />
The second woman intervened, and while in possession of her handgun, told the suspect to stop. He refused and started beating her. She then shot him. Talk about just desserts. Since she acted in both self-defense and in defense of a third person who's life was in imminent danger, he got some lead.<br />

<br />
Is it me, or does the bullshit in our world just keep getting more moronic by the day? I'm beginning to think that there is just no intelligent life left on our planet. The world is so f'd up that if I were describe it to someone who has been living under a rock, I wouldn't know where to start. In fact, right about now, living under a rock sounds like paradise. Every day that I read the net, watch TV, and even chat with people on Facecrack or Twitter, it's a depressing assortment of events that makes your head spin. No wonder we Americans are over-weight and chemically dependent. We seek comfort in junk food, video games, and sedatives such as pills and alcohol.<br />
<br />
Since I am of the Baby Boomer generation, I find that in my interaction with others of my age, we see the world as falling apart. The <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baby+boomers"><b><span style="color: blue;">URBAN DICTIONARY </span></b></a> has labeled the baby boomers as the,"most self righteous and incredibly arrogant generation of all time." I kid you not. How the hell did that happen? When did that happen?<br />
Even more incredibly startling is their definition of the 90's generation, known also as <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=generation+y"><b><span style="color: blue;">GENERATION Y</span></b> </a> or the Echo Generation. Yes, these are the offspring of Baby Boomers. So, the little snot nose brats that wrote this Urban Dictionary bullshit are the perfect generation? The children of the 21st century are clueless. They have not experienced the real world. Remember the famous saying from our generation, "Reality Bites?"<br />
It still does.<br />
<br />
The constant bombarding of 24 hour news stations, social media outlets and that Baby Boomer invention called the television, has turned this generation in to electronic junkies who can't take their eyes off their devices long enough to see the world and interact with people face-to-face. The speed of their fingers on a keyboard as it clacks away at a frenzied pace has made this generation lazy and dependent. Hell, schools have stopped teaching cursive writing because this generation knows only the keyboard.<br />

If we were self righteous and incredibly arrogant, then this generation is the "you owe me generation." That's right, we Baby Boomers are most likely your grandparents and we don't owe you shit!<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><u><b>The George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin</b> </u>trial is underway and their star witness, who was allegedly that last person to talk to Martin before his death, is an uneducated, lying piece of shit. This whole trial is a joke. Zimmerman acted in self defense but the trial is happening because it would be 'racist' not to prosecute Zimmerman. If Zimmerman is convicted, it could have devastating effects to the Stand your Ground Rule. If he's found innocent, blacks everywhere threaten to riot in the streets. Ah, let's think about this... Violence, people? Seriously? Many threatened to do that during the 2012 election if Obama didn't win a second term. </li>
<li><b><u>Aaron Hernandez</u></b>- an athlete so full of himself he thought he could get away with murder. He destroyed evidence and has hints of gang ties. Only a 4th round draft pick for a reason. He conveniently and maliciously destroyed his cell phone. He tried unsuccessfully to destroy the contents of his own home security system. Minutes after leaving the crime scene, he's shown on video brandishing a handgun. Idiot of the highest form. Too many steroids, no doubt.</li>
<li><b><u>Paula Deen</u></b>- Diva of southern cuisine is being ripped apart by the press and all her endorsements are having a domino effect on her livelihood. Why? Because she used the N word - ah, fuck it- she used the word 'Nigger' some 20 + years ago..and she said it out loud! Oh. My. God - stop everything people! A woman from the deep south used that word in a different era and in a different time. She was honest and she confessed. If there's any white person out there over the age of 30 who says they have never used that word, they're full of shit. Why is this a double standard? Michael Vick killed dogs for money and got his football contract back. Chris Brown was a domestic abuser and has his career back. Many high profile blacks are being forgiven for their indiscretions and yet, a middle aged white woman is being slaughtered over one indiscretion. Isn't that 'racism'?'</li>
<li><b><u>Mayor Bloomberg</u></b>- Wants to ban large bottles of soda because we're too fat. He's the world's dietitian and he knows what's best for us. We can't think for ourselves. I think all that money gets in the way of his rational thinking. His campaign for Mayors Against Illegal Guns initially gathered a following. The anti gun crowd saw this as a good idea - in theory. Now, some of the mayors are dropping out. Presumably because he himself is too radical and I suspect, he's related to Dianne Feinstein. His flock is slowly deteriorating and other Mayors say that what he stands for is not something they want to be associated with. The premise was of course, illegal guns. That's not where Bloomberg is taking this. He's offending people. The hypocrite travels with armed bodyguards because of death threats, yet he thinks taking guns away from everybody will solve the problem. I could go on, but he's just an asshole and not worth my time.</li>
<li><b><u>The IRS</u></b>- ah yes, the bane of every US citizen. Did they or didn't they? Did the White House have knowledge of their selective investigations? I'm betting they did but others are throwing themselves on their swords in an effort to deflect any negative impact on the President's administration. So many idiotic mistakes are being revealed. No one ever really trusted those incompetent bastards, so let's just reinforce that perception with this scandal. And they're entrusted with ensuring everyone gets health care or make you pay the penalty come tax refund time? When SCOTUS ruled this as constitutional, I about fell off my chair. How could it be? I don't have a choice in the matter? The implementation of Obamacare is right around the corner and big problems are arising.</li>
<li><b><u>The NSA & Verizon</u></b>- Oh gees, where do I start? Are we being spied upon by our own government and without probable cause or warrants? Oh hell, yeah! And it's been happening for a very long time. We just didn't know it or turned a blind eye. The far left leaning liberal news media, who consistently fawned over our worthless leader, is now awake and paying attention. How dare the government violate their 1st Amendment rights? Well, DUH! Apparently they didn't see any of the other Constitutional rights violations. They are just now seeing the big picture because it involves them directly. You've all been asleep for the last 5 years, haven't you?</li>
<li><b><u>Edward Snowden</u></b>- That poor bastard. He's a threat to national security because he became a whistle blower. Granted, he exposed government secrets involving the NSA and the CIA and no doubt violated an oath. But the problem lies now with finding the rights and wrongs of this guy's actions. This incident is labeled as the most significant leak in US history and our government wants to charge him with espionage. Snowden is running to countries that are 'safe havens' for people such as himself. Unfortunately, they know where he is all the time. I admire his tenacity and ideal, but I'm torn on what and how he did it. Then... when you're exposing government secrets, expect a backlash.</li>
<li><b><u>POTUS</u></b>- (don't you love all these new acronyms?) Yea, that guy. Oh my, he's on vacation again and wasting the taxpayers money more and more each day. There's a laundry list of things wrong with this presidency and even some of his fellow dems (jackasses) are turning their backs on him. He is indeed the worst president this country has ever had. He has far surpassed Carter. Obama is a racist. He has on many occasions opened his mouth and without knowing all the facts, accused people of showing racist tendencies. And he has a law degree? HA! He practically promotes divisiveness among our country when he should be trying to fix the problems of his own race. Does he ever wonder why the average black male is either getting killed or in jail? That they aspire to become drug dealers, rappers and thugs? That staying in school and getting an education, a real job, and becoming a productive member of society might actually be a goal to aspire to? Not likely. He promotes the welfare state. Yes, that's right....we've come full circle and we're at the "you owe me generation" once again.</li>

<br />
Dublin, Ireland<br />
<br />
I don't think there's any doubt in anyone's mind that Pres. Obama pissed off the Irish Catholics.<br />
And some of those die hard Obama supporters say he was misinterpreted. HA!<br />
<br />
Irish Parliament member Clare Daly goes on a take-no-breaths rant that addresses almost everything that the knowledgeable, eyes wide open, American people are concerned with in regards to the Obama administration.<br />
<br />
She's right; Stupid ass liberals and the news media, have been pandering to the Obama aristocracy and it's quite evident that the Obama's fuckin' love it! They are pulling the purse strings of the American public and the feel-good-about-myself liberal folks think everything is just all wonderful with flowers and unicorns. In their consistent comparison of the Bush administration, they use creative brush strokes to skew the actual picture. Obama is not the Messiah. He is not the answer to our country's problems. In fact, he IS this country's problems and other countries are pointing their fingers, laughing at us. And what a frikkin joke we are! Remember, the American people elected him - TWICE!<br />
<br />
PM Clare Daly minces no words when it comes to Obama and points out what some of us clear headed individuals already knew. Obama is a hypocrite and should be charged with war crimes.<br />
While Obama's gun control back ground measures have failed, and as he continues to tug on the heart strings of America by trudging out the victims of the Newtown disaster, he is now supplying arms to the Syrian rebels. What has Syria done for us that we need to provide them with weapons? What have they done to other countries and other people? I'll give you a clue...it ain't good. These people hate us with such a passion that we would be lucky if they didn't turn on us with our own weapons. Does that story sound familiar?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/21/clare-daly-obama-war-criminal_n_3479158.html"><b><i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> IS OBAMA A WAR CRIMINAL?</span></i></b></a></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Obama has done what all politicians do at some point in their political career and that is to LIE. He has misled the American people and he has lied to our allies, thumbing his nose at well established protocols and anchored relationships. It's a known fact that Obama is a political hack nobody, who was part of the corrupt Chicago machine, who came out of nowhere and became president. So now Obama uses his influence and, of course surrounds himself with more corrupt cronies. But ever so slowly, the truth is starting to reveal itself.<span id="goog_1175516466"></span><br />
Naturally, now that he's a lame duck candidate, it's almost too late. We're stuck with him for 3 more years. And let's face it, Biden is no prince either. I'm not a prognosticator but I don't see another Nixon-Agnew situation occurring in the 21st century.<br />
<br />
With the continuously growing list of scandals now hanging over his head, one can only hope that impeachment may be knocking at the door.<br />

I like to read a lot. I like fiction and I like facts. If I want fiction, I'll read a good mystery novel.<br />
If I want facts, I'll read about our pathetic excuse for our government and its leaders. Sometimes in the world of politics, the line between fact and fiction is blurred. When I read things pertaining to our present government, from the Prez all the way down, I often times wish it were all fiction because the truth surrounding these clowns and their behavior, or lack of ethics is way too bizarre to be real. Can you imagine a reality show with some of these political hacks who are steadily driving our country in to ruin?<br />
<br />
Our President's leadership skills and capabilities of running this government are slowly, but surely coming to light. Even former President Clinton, who never had sex with any woman other than Hilary, speaks of Obama with disdain. That says something. In fact, it says way too much.<br />
<br />
Save for the fact that we see a great deal of these things floating around the net with some seriously bad grammar, this statement and the person who said it is true. Yes, Clinton did the pot-kettle thing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Will the liberal news media now start reporting facts instead of the fluffed up filtered version that they did during Obama's first term in office? It's starting to look like it might happen. There's a litany of things that this corrupt Chicago crony either covered up or fucked up.<br />
From bail outs, unemployment, Benghazi, IRS, illegal wire tapping, Verizon, etc...it's so difficult to believe that people actually re-elected this moron. (Once again supporting my belief that the 2012 election was rigged in Obama's favor.)<br />
<br />
Scream racist at me all you want. Point a finger at me and call me a narrow minded conservative. I don't really care, for I am neither. I am an American who wants my country back.<br />
I want to be able to say the Pledge of Allegiance and fly the American flag in public schools without fear of offending anyone.<br />
I want us to stop tip-toeing around Immigration reform for fear that other countries will think less of us. I don't give a rat's ass how the world sees us. We have continuously bailed out and fought wars for people all over the world.<br />
I want my country to be feared and respected again.<br />
I want people to stop living off the government teat and get a freakin job. I want there to be jobs.<br />
Stop outsourcing, and stop giving jobs to illegals.<br />
Stop shoving Obamacare down our throats. It's not working and it's not gonna.<br />
<br />
Now that the media has gotten a taste of their 1st Amendment rights being disregarded by way of circumventing the 4th amendment, and the constant bickering about our 2nd Amendment, this country is slowly being eaten away from the inside. Our own racist (if you don't think so, you're not paying attention) President has shown his disdain for the Constitution and this country repeatedly. He is, in my opinion, anti-American.<br />
He has sworn to defend and protect the Constitution and yet, he is blatantly violating it, practically flaunting his indiscretions in the face of the people.<br />
<br />
I believe in our Constitution. The 1st Amendment gives me the right to say what I'm saying in this forum. I have the right to worship my God in any way I please.<br />
The 4th amendment prohibits the government (or it's entities) from committing unlawful search and seizures. I have the right to be secure in my persons, houses, papers, and effects. I have a reasonable expectation of privacy. It's obviously been violated for some time now 'cause hell, I'm a Verizon customer.<br />
<br />
And then, there's my all time favorite, the 2nd Amendment. It gives me the right to bear arms, most especially against tyranny. The anti gun crowd calls us 2nd Amendment devotees radicals. Nothing could be further from the truth. The world is falling apart. The government is scaring the shit out of people and some believe we may even need to take arms against the government. Is this all a fact or is it fiction? Is it an unreasonable assumption or just plain paranoia?<br />
People are buying guns and ammunition like never before. Many are buying ammo in bulk and taking advantage of the shortage and exhibiting some entrepreneurial skills of their own. Ah, Capitalism. Beats Socialism any day.<br />
<br />

Virgin Airlines CEO Richard Branson announced that he is planning to launch his Galactic Rocket ship later this year and several rich and famous celebrities are buying seats on this ride at $200,000.00 a pop.<br />

It is reported that Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Ashton Kutcher and even Steven Hawking have already paid for their seats aboard the SpaceShipTwo. Branson brags that this carnival ride is going to last about 3 hours and will propel them some 360,000 feet above the earth. Apparently there is a waiting list of 65,000 people.<br />
You mean to tell me that there's 65,000 people out there that have $200,000 just sitting around waiting for a ride on a spaceship? Here's an idea...Just give me your $200 k and I'll take you for a ride!<br />
<br />
Now Justin Bieber is bragging via Twitter that he bought himself a ride aboard the mystery ship (minus his monkey) and just can't wait to go out in to space to shoot a music video. It's almost worth $200 k to pay someone to get this little twerp off the planet and shut him up....even if it's just for a lousy 3 hours.<br />
<br />
What if this 3 hour tour turned in to Beiber's Island?<br />

A small community in Fulton County, NY has a war on their hands. It's a war over who plays their music the loudest on their ice cream truck. A war over who can sell where. The frozen battle resulted in charges being brought against the owners of one truck for harassment and stalking.<br />

<br />
I, like many others out there, are not real big fans of politicians. Most are just con artists, deal makers, and smooth talkers. It takes money, power and influence to get appointed and then elected to some of the most influential offices in the country.<br />
<br />
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY:<br />
<br />
Ms. Feinstein has managed to work her way up the proverbial ladder of political success from such a humble beginning of fighting for equal housing rights and then being appointed to serve as a member of the California Women's Parole Board.<br />
<br />
Feinstein went on to become a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and lost 2 elections for Mayor. Oddly enough, her succession to Mayor occurred only due to the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. Feinstein herself heard the gunshots in city hall and went to investigate, finding Harvey Milk's lifeless body. He had been assassinated by a rival politician. Feinstein herself was a target of a failed assassination attempt.<br />
<i>Was this the beginning of her anti gun stance?</i><br />
After the threats to her and her family, she obtained a concealed weapon permit and carried a revolver in her purse.<br />
<br />
Feinstein has a certain talent for pissing people off.<br />
In the highly populated gay community of San Francisco, she refused to march in the Gay Pride parade and vetoed the domestic partner legislation.<br />
<i>Well, after all, it was the 80's.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
During the period when serial killer Richard Ramirez was terrorizing her city, she gave away certain details to the press, thereby hindering the investigation and pissing off the police.<br />
In the 90's, she made this statement,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In the above quote, Feinstein states she "was trained in firearms." Yet, the picture below tells a different story.<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember this photo op?<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For those of you knowledgeable in firearms safety...it really looks like the 4 cardinal rules of firearms safety have all been ignored or long ago forgotten.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the late 90's, Feinstein allegedly stopped carrying a handgun, had her own pistol melted down, along with many other guns in a citywide buy-back program, and then gave up her concealed carry permit.<br />
<br />
Feinstein introduced the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which went in to effect in 1994 and expired in 2004.<br />
<br />
Her latest attempt to ban what she defines as "assault weapons" has no expiration date. This particular piece of horse crap was vehemently opposed by the NRA.<br />
<br />
Here we are again....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyHE2M0A2lK-N2vOkn56tcAnBcz6NyCu76MOeeT2WAlA8sfg2019866JIMNSbarv2NLhl2vdyM56Cq52csXLnpt9bCFio7hmZXHqKco-G9v_0wGVbve52SwYp7GtjcWz6uVZQXQEz2ObF/s1600/feinstein-war+on+women.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyHE2M0A2lK-N2vOkn56tcAnBcz6NyCu76MOeeT2WAlA8sfg2019866JIMNSbarv2NLhl2vdyM56Cq52csXLnpt9bCFio7hmZXHqKco-G9v_0wGVbve52SwYp7GtjcWz6uVZQXQEz2ObF/s320/feinstein-war+on+women.jpg" width="244" /></a></div>
Feinstein fancies herself a champion of women's rights. Yet, her position is that women everywhere will be no less safer than if they carried or owned firearms.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
An irrational and idiotic remark if ever there was one.<br />
After insulting women everywhere......<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She took on military veterans....<br />
She claims that PTSD is a relatively new phenomenon and wants to make sure that incapacitated veterans don't get their hands on semi automatic weapons. Before naming it PTSD in the 80's, they called it 'shell shock' or 'battle fatigue.'<br />
<br />
And the most idiotic statement ever....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices, those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, <b><i>even 150-round </i></b>magazines. Limiting magazine capacity is critical because it is when a criminal, a drug dealer, a deranged individual has to pause to change magazines and reload that<i><b> the police or brave bystanders have the opportunity to take that individual down.”</b></i></span><br />
<br />
How many things are wrong with that idiotic diatribe? Sen. Feinstein, let me point out, that if you're trying to take away my ability to own and carry a firearm, then how will I be a brave bystander that will have the opportunity to take down an armed assailant? You think that while everyone is scared shitless and looking for cover, that they're going to<b> count </b>the amount of rounds in the criminal's magazine?<br />
<br />
Oh hell, the woman is a professional idiot. You can't reason with an idiot.<br />
<br />

Every once in awhile you come across a story that makes you not only say "what the fuck?" but it also prompts a "how the fuck?"<br />

This perverted politician was racing around town on a regular basis looking for some action.<br />
Even at speeds of 90 mph, he couldn't get any. You really have to give the perv some credit for livin' life in the fast line. I just can't picture driving 90 mph with your wienie waggin' in the wind.<br />

<br />
<br />
Yes, I chided Bloomberg once before when on the date of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attack he chose to announce that there just wasn't enough room at the memorial service for all the first responders because the dignitaries were more important. Yea, you know, the President, the Governors, all those. He made room for families but pissed off all the cops, firefighters and medics who were there that day. They too want to pay their respects and he thumbed his nose at them. "Another time, another place," he said.<br />
<br />
He <a href="http://popfactor.blogspot.com/2011/08/mayor-bloomberg-is-asshole.html"><b><span style="color: blue;">GOT ASSHOLE OF THE YEAR AWARD</span></b></a> from me.<br />
<br />
There's a special kind of stupid when you're a liberal with a lot of money. Not that having a lot of money is a bad thing. Hey, I'm a firm believer in capitalism. It's what America's all about. I just don't believe in the government poking its nose in my business. I don't want a nanny. I don't need to be saved from myself. Having some money and being a total asshole somehow also requires the need to be a nanny for all those people out there who don't know enough not to eat junk food or drink too much soda.<br />
That's right, the notorious 'soda ban' goes in to effect next week. It's bad enough that the Mayor even thought up this totally moronic idea, what's worse is that other city officials agreed with it and signed it in to law. OY!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQkLcEWbqBlDrgQ7AfP0q1BCR4NxoKBMBef3ApkDVVnWkqqf_WwsPL0WjjBV8SlN5Qq1ESW5JTaOCilRnOUtghVmLGRFxIT-6I-UFVG9bMZk2JEDNBXTGIL7MSxz1IIWXY9yLR56bTSXc/s1600/bloomberg+soda.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZQkLcEWbqBlDrgQ7AfP0q1BCR4NxoKBMBef3ApkDVVnWkqqf_WwsPL0WjjBV8SlN5Qq1ESW5JTaOCilRnOUtghVmLGRFxIT-6I-UFVG9bMZk2JEDNBXTGIL7MSxz1IIWXY9yLR56bTSXc/s320/bloomberg+soda.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Bloomberg's twisted logic is that if we stop selling those huge liter bottles, people will stop drinking so much soda pop.<br />
Who's going to enforce this pointless law? The Soda Police?<br />
The only thing he has succeeded in doing is pissing off the consumer. The consumer will be paying more in the long run for soft drinks because Hizzoner the Asshole has outlawed a family value pack on a pizza night. It won't stop people from drinking soda any more than it will stop people from eating pizza. It just ain't gonna happen. What's next on his hit list? McDonald's? Pizza Hut? Burger King?<br />
<br />
Who died and made him the supreme ruler of our dietary needs? Does he drink soda or patronize any fast food establishments? I'm betting he does.<br />
Mr. Mayor, can't you find something a little more important to do at city hall?<br />
<br />
