President John F. Kennedy

"My fellow citizens of the United States, ask not what your country can do for you...but what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you...but what together we can do, for the brotherhood of man." (President John F. Kennedy/Inaugural Address)

Summers and Rush

What happens when someone gives Rush Limbaugh credit for anything? Left-wing maroons’ head explode, Obama breaks a sweat, and Joe Biden asks “Who’s Lush Rimbaugh?” I think it’s safe to say that like any other patriotic American, we should give credit where credit is due and credit is due to a very, very important person in our society (left and right).
There are many mixed emotions about him and there are many negative things said about him but when it comes down to it, Mr. Limbaugh is a smart, understandable, loyal person.  Nothing makes me happier when I see the lip of a Progressive democrat curl at his name…even more so when the points he makes are right AND apparent!
I work at a golf course and throughout the summer I would have to “pick the range”. I would climb into a golf cart with a mechanism on the front that picks up balls and ride around our driving range. (luckily, since then, I have been promoted.) But I downloaded an app in which allowed me to listen to live radio on my smart phone. I put my ear phones in and listened to Rush Limbaugh. I learned a lot that summer. I learned a lot about myself, my aspirations and this specific case, Mr. Limbaugh.
It wasn’t but a few days ago when I was talking with my boss from the golf course and he made a very good and clear point. He said “We honestly should be crediting Rush Limbaugh for saving America or ‘prolonging’ its existence until better power can preserve it…because if you think about it. Rush did radio before radio was cool. If it weren’t for his controversial shows (with the left) and very good points, America would not be in the ‘Talk Radio Age’.” The more I thought about what he said, the more I agreed.
Limbaugh did have his show before anyone else and he was the popular one to listen to. Some title him as the unofficial leader of the Republican Party. Now, with the help of Sean Hannity, Uncle Henry, Glenn Beck, etc..710 AM, Conservative Talk Radio, is the driving force behind the Tea Party Movement, the Common Sense Movement and the takeover of control by the ones who can do so responsibly!
All in all, take a moment to think, “Wait a second, this guy has a point.” Help us get under the left-wingers’ skin by proving to them that Rush Limbaugh is smart, he’s gifted, and best of all, he can support what he says! God Bless America.

What's to come?

It’s been a while but I’m back. I recently attended the inauguration of our new governor, Governor Robert J. Bentley; the 53rd governor of the state of Alabama. What an event it was! It never occurred to me years ago when I first got interested as to why I’m interested in politics. After talking with my friends and family, I have come to the conclusion that the reason why [I am so passionate for the sanitation of our government] is because it is my God given duty on this Earth. I have figured out why I am here and what I am supposed to be doing.
                I can see a lot of things. I can see just as much as anyone else but I look at them differently. Through the young eyes of mine own, I have seen corruption, scandal after scandal, special interest, displeasure, must I go on, in our government. Government today is far too much like a college. There are alienated groups, people have harsh feelings for one another, there is no cooperation outside of a comfort zone, and the leaders are pains…major pains. It bothers me to think that in a few short years, my generation will be the one to inherit all of this mess, and that worries me.
                On the same note, it’s almost as if 2012 couldn’t come timelier. I’ll be 18, semi-legal, and so will the majority of my generations. Therefore, is it not a bit canny that there really might be a big ‘to-do’ on December 21, 2012? We can’t deny everything we do not wish to happen in life. We must embrace it and I have embraced that infamous day with so many rumors, legends, and yes, facts behind it. The Mayans, when they came up with that date, said it would be the end of time. Now, simple logic says that they obviously did not use the actual phrase “the world and earth will end…” It’s just, the end of time. A time that could be unwanted, a time that really is corrupted, a time stained by the malicious acts of those we put in office. A feel that on that morning in December, 2012, the sun, brighter than ever will peer up over the misty, winter tree tops; the birds who sing in the summer will sing their song, so valiantly in the cold winter; the purest of breezes will make their ways through the plains of the west, the skyscrapers of the east and the forests of the south; the animals will fear nothing; and best of all, the hell we now call our government will be rebooted!
                The government will become a service, no longer a club. The hardworking middle class will then be able to rely on the government. The lives of the citizens of America will be new, fresh, and pleasing. So, now, when you hear that date, do not think of an apocalypse…associate that date with the renaissance of a new country. Expect great things, fore, my generation will.

There's more to us than meets the eye. The...very weakened eye.

What is a Republican? Is it a Politician who is dirty, cheap, unreliable, etc.? (So the Liberal Media says…) Or is it a hardworking American who is dedicated to their family, friends, jobs, and faith? If you ask me, I’d tell you that a Republican is that oddball in the crowd, who does not necessarily “go-with-the-flow”. I’d tell you that a Republican is someone who is proud of their country and their roots. It’s someone who prioritizes goals and objectives in life. A true Republican is someone who we ALL, Democrats, Liberals, Libertarians, Conservatives, etc. long to be…

Just the other day, I was in a heated debate with my Aunt. She is the quintessential Liberal.—I’ve always said that if we could somehow obtain a system of checks and balances (not just with the three branches of our government) but within each branch itself, things would “re-rail”. Regardless, Democrats and Republicans take turn governing each branch…therefore, isn’t the system of Checks and Balances really between the two parties that make up our country? Montesquieu would be proud!—as I was saying, my Aunt knows her Liberal facts…We we’re arguing about the Healthcare system and how it correlates with funding abortion. She always makes good points when we debate but, for some reason, it always seems like she misunderstands us Republicans and Conservatives.

I feel that the initial argument against Obamacare coincides with illegal immigration. What hardworking citizen of this country wants to pay Uncle Sam incredulous amounts then find out that that money is being used to pay for the insurance and healthcare of illegal immigrants and their children? Her argument: illegal immigrants cannot qualify for Obamacare. My next point I made is, why should the Hardworking men and women give equal opportunities to the non-hardworking men and women? There are very, very lazy people in this country who, if anything at all, do very little to support their family and themselves. They mainly rely on welfare and guess what…yes, you got it, the government. Well, now those lazy jerks who have done nothing to help anyone far and wide are getting the SAME healthcare benefits that those hardworking men and women get! The hardworking ones who go to work five, sometimes six or seven days a week. The hardworking ones who pay their bills and taxes. The hardworking ones who support a family. The hardworking ones who do their job. Her argument: those “lazy” people only make up a small fraction of those who are now benefitting from Obamacare.

She then went on to ask me, “Who are you to say who is deserving and undeserving in this country?” That statement there was much like a spark under my butt. When I look at my parents, my neighbors, my friends, my family, my parent’s friends, my friend’s parents, my fellow citizens who do everything in their power to provide for their family, and bust their butts for us and go through very tough times, and then see those who expect to be given everything…my blood pressure rises. I’m the one to tell who is undeserving in deserving THROUGH MY EYES because through those same eyes, I see so many struggling people making ends meet because they have others who rely on them for life and prosperity. I do not think that I have ever felt the same sensation I felt when she said that, EVER in my life before.
Section two was about how we as Republicans do not allow abortions or federal funding of abortions. Her argument: You cannot call yourself a Christian if you feel that way. Why should we bring those children into this world when you will not allow most of them to have a God given right…healthcare? My loudly-said response back: Who’s the Christian here? I want children to live and have the best opportunities that this country has to offer. Usually, those opportunities come with citizenship and hard work…when we see that that hardworking, deserving family who had that child who we did not allow to be aborted, we WILL reward you!

All in all, Republicans, Tea-Partiers, Conservatives, etc. are seen, today, as heartless criminals who only care for themselves and making the rich richer. It’s time to change that back to the way we were originally seen as. The view has changed, we have not. My closing statement: it takes a little research to find the truth in everything. God Bless America. Have a Merry Christmas to all!

The name we all know, Glenn Beck.

Christmas is just around the corner and I can’t wait! In relation to my previous post, airport security will be at a HIGH this holiday season. AGAIN, it is for your own good. I’m sure our President will be going on vacation for the hundredth time…if he isn’t already! My topic today is about a genius in political and social reform. He is a master of radio and TV talk shows! He is, Glenn Beck.

Born in 1964, Mr. Beck had not the easiest childhood (filled with alcohol, divorce, suicide, etc). However, he knew from a young age that radio was his calling. After a not much better adulthood, Beck was finally able to clean his life up. In 1999, Beck married for a second time and resides today in Connecticut as an author, political commentator, radio and TV talk show host, and entrepreneur. In July, 2010, Beck announced that he went to the doctors for an eye check up and later found out that he has Muscular Dystrophy.

I personally see Beck as an incredible person drawn to God because of his miracles that he, God, works. In August of 2010, Beck held a ‘Restoring Honor Rally’ in front of the Washington Monument, Reflecting Pool, and Lincoln Memorial. His co-host was the highly credited and former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. The two hosted an incredibly successful rally that drew the attention of a lot of names and hundreds of thousands of people.  

I appreciate your time, God Bless and have a wonderful day! Also, Beck is on FOX News Channel on weekdays at 5p & 2a ET. Be sure to tune in, you will never walk away from one of his programs uninformed.

Green Paper

It wasn't but a few hours ago when I realized I was broke...yes broke. Luckily, I have many years to come before that becomes a real issue but for now, it's an issue that I DON'T want! What is the meaning of money? Where did it come from? How did it become such a large part of our society?

Money spands back thousands of years ago...most likely with the originial "barter & gift". If you have something of equal value, you can acquire something different of that SAME value...same being the key word here. Not long after, the Sumerians are credited with initiating the first economy based on commodity money. From then, we have been piling ourselves up in allegorical debt.

I thought about it for a second...what if money was never invented, and labor was for self-gratification and sincerity. And what if everything based on that labor, in terms of results, was not free (remember, there is no such thing as money) but good-will. The world could be such a better place. Where everything is done, given, and recieved as a sign of care and optimism. Just another flaw in today's society.

Today's was more of a personal conclusion but let me hear what you think. Do you agree with the monetary system? Why or why not? (As if we can change it...)

1st Issue: TSA Airport Protocol

A big issue that seems to be making a name for itself right now is the TSA Airport Security Searches...this being the pat-downs and "graphic" full body scanners. Airport security is a very, very sensitive issue to mess with and ESPECIALLY during the holidays. I believe it was three days ago when the Somali-born teenager attempted to detonate a bomb given to him by feds. Thankfully, the explosive material given to him was futile but the fact that this kid tried to detonate it in the center of a crowded area with women and children just sends chills down my spine. Having said that, I think that a lot of the complaints and issues that travelers have with the new protocols are fairly excessive in the fact that it is for your safety. I would be upset, don't get me wrong, with the new pat-downs and scanners HOWEVER, I know that it is for my own good and the good of my family and friends. All I am saying is that don't speak so harshly on an issue that can save the lives of tens, hundred, and possibly thousands of people. We are a country of successes and failures and it seems that the most effective way of learning is to experience...if you don't agree with me that 9/11 and the many terror plots involving US airways aren't enough "experiences"....then I do NOT want to know what is. God Bless and have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I was very against blogging not too long ago because of the "wonderful" conversations and arguments that you "accomlpish" when doing so...HOWEVER, it's far too important to stay quiet now. Thank you to the few who feel the same about our country and feel that unless we do something, by trying new things (failures and or successes), we will get no where. I appreciate your time and I hope to stay up to date and "loud" with my brand new, beautiful, 2010, blog!
