Chutzpa!

We all are painfully aware of the state of the Nation and the world for that matter. I see tweets, blogs, and Facebook statements that indicate most hardworking (if you even have a job) Americans are fed up with the status quo. The young idealists are even taking to the streets, which reminds me of the late sixties and seventies during the Vietnam War.

I actually see a parallel between then and now. Nixon knew that we were just about bankrupt because of Vietnam, just as Obama knows the same is happening now because of Iraq and Afghanistan. Nixon also knew that the awful unrest in this country during that time meant disaster for re-elections and the survival of the Republican Party, as the current President knows the Democratic Party is in big trouble for the same reasons.

Corruption was the common denominator in both cases. If fact, corruption has plagued every war since records have been kept. Even ancient history teaches us the same lessons. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the futility of war is not just some catchy phrase coined by the left wingers. I could pen catchy phrases all day long and not one will help find peace in the world.

Even though I am a conservative Republican, I am also a naturalist who will fight long and hard to save abandoned and mistreated animals whether they are in my hometown or in the remote jungles of the world. The animal kingdom, while being savage and violent, is based on rules that seem not to apply for the human species. The wild animals that exist on this planet take only what is needed and never in malice of forethought. Nature’s balance is insurance that there will be enough for survival of the fittest, while the human species keeps taking and taking even after we are old, weak and feeble. If there is a case supporting the Ancient Alien Theory, this is it. We don’t fit in very well with the scheme of things on Earth.

While the subject of this blog is somber, it is not without hope. I am not one to point out problems without trying to also come up with solutions for those problems. One fact remains obvious; we have nowhere else to go. We can only hope that our technologies help us save the planet from our overindulgence. We have already started the process of conservation mainly due to a global recession that is teaching us to do more with a lot less. How much is enough to make humans happy? I am finding out that, in reality, less is really more. The challenge of stretching resources can and does make our lives more meaningful. No, I don’t need a new vehicle every five years. My current one is paid off and I enjoy knowing I don’t have to make any more payments. Proper maintenance is far less expensive than payments every month. This holds true with all large ticket items.

Here is a really bright spot; I am in constant touch with not just my community, but the entire planet! The Internet has enabled the people of the world to glean information that is not biased by special interest groups. Until the Internet, we had to depend on televised news reports that were not in real time, and the reports were certainly part of “spin city.” Most people I know don’t read newspapers or watch televised news programs anymore unless they are reporting something live like the earthquake in Japan.

Of course, we all know about spam and virus dangers while on line; but on the whole, with the use of good virus protections, we can safely find out about any topic under the sun. This gives us an advantage about what is really happening on our planet. It also brings the human community closer together so we can help solve our planets problems. Technology is not enough; the masses must be willing do their part.

Stamping out corruption in government is also a priority. I am going to repeat myself yet again. November, 2012 is a month everyone should have highlighted on their calendars. It is time to take control of our “Government, by the People and for the People.” We have all been sold down the river by traitors of the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights! Forget what party your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents voted for. The time for change is NOW! I absolutely refuse to vote for any candidate with name recognition.

What better way to purge the White House and Congress than to vote for unknown or third party candidates? One thing is certain; the unknown politicians can do no worse the all the known candidates who are up to their armpits in special interests and corruption. It will take chutzpa to vote for unknown candidates, but we are a country of gutsy, hardworking and daring folks. It’s time to step up and be counted for the sake of our country and the world.

Mourning America!

Who in the hell gave our government permission to rob the very people who support it? While I am at it, who gave the Democrats the right to give every Tom, Dick and Harry who asks – a free ride in America?

We have fought, died and worked hard to make America strong. Corrupt politicians and greedy corporations are sucking the lifeblood right out of the middle class. America is fast becoming a third world country, while China and the Middle East are becoming the giants we once were.

The super rich don’t want the middle class; they want the cheap lower class that works like slaves for little money. It means more money for the corporations. More, more, more – give us more! It also means more tax revenue for government. The illegal immigrant population does not expect nor has it earned Social Security or Medicare and is willing to pay taxes just to have food and shelter rather than live in abject poverty in their own country. Give every illegal immigrant amnesty and watch them vote for the Democrats for super handouts. Politicians have made sure they have retirement and medical expenses paid for outside the national programs which they steal from. The Great Society at its worst. Meanwhile the middle class diminishes until they are no more and America becomes only slums and mansions – much like it was during the Industrial Revolution.

What will it take for us (the middle class) to wake up? We are being squeezed like grapefruit and then discarded like garbage. Let me tell you something; I am awake and I will not go down without a fight. You can bet between now and the 2012 Presidential election I will write to Washington, Arizona and Camp Verde political incumbents and tell them like it is. My vote will not be cast for any of them. You can also bet that my voice will be heard by every Facebook and Twitter friend and they in turn can pass the message along to their friends until all our voices are heard in Washington. Someday in the not-so-far distant future, the rats will start climbing the ship’s mast as the USS Corruption starts to sink.

We can make a difference by using the power of the Internet and our right to vote. Incumbents beware…you will be fired from your cushy jobs and eventually forced to live on the same Social Security and healthcare we have to depend on to make our ends meet.
What a glorious day that will be!

I am just saying,

Rebate, Rebate!

We deserve a total rebate on our Congress. That’s right, we want every last penny that Congress has wasted in the last fifty years. You would think we should get a rebate for the last hundred years, but, after the calculations, there is only enough money for fifty. It will still make millionaires of every adult male and female in the United States of America.

Yahoo, we are all rich! We wouldn’t have had to implement such drastic measures had Congress given each adult male and female in America the billions of dollars in bailout money that was given to CEOs’ and Wall Street shysters to keep the whole lot of them out of prison. American citizens could have already pulled the economy up by its boot straps and everyone would have jobs and a house to live in. But, no way, the fat cats stayed fat and the middle and lower class took it in the shorts. What else is new?

Well, listen up, my fellow Americans; it’s time to act and act we will. Sedition, you say? Damn right, you plump, thieving, sheep pluckers. There are 300 million of us and only a handful of you and your cronies. Someday soon we are going to rise up and take our government and country back. We are going to start with the presidential election in 2012 and if that doesn’t satisfy us, we are going to start protesting in every street in the good old U.S. of A.

One parting thought for all you lifetime politicians living the good life while the rest of us work our asses to the bone trying to make ends meet paying your fat-cat salaries. History proves time and time again that corrupt governments always fail and that the masses prevail. Chew on that for a while.
