While Iraq Implodes

When B.O. stole an election, gasoline was $1.64 a gallon.  The war in Iraq was just about over, and Afghanistan was a done deal.  I guess these are the results you get from a community organizer who has never really held a real job, and a compliant press who lap up his inane utterances as though they were Gospel.

So now, here we are.  Two thefts behind us and the world is exploding.  The only thing that B.O. has proven to be good at is golf.  He has a mean swing, I am told.  Of course, I haven't seen it.  He prefers to play on private courses that don't allow any pictures to be taken of the Golfer in Chief, while Iraq burns.

President Bush warned what would happen if we left a vacuum in the middle East.  It would seem that he was spot on.  But instead of listening to any common sense or reason, B.O. has pulled us out of the area.  All of those men and women died for nothing.  Terror groups are rampaging through the area.  Be-headings are everywhere.  The religion of peace has yet to condemn any of this-they are too busy stoning people.  That is when they aren't blowing something up or demanding that we follow their rules, or else.

I don't think I have ever met a peaceful muslim.  I have seen countless examples of them as they try and control everyone around them.  I have seen many stupid women who voluntarily agree to be treated like chattel.  Stupid.  Stupid, stupid stupid.

Were they abused when they were young? Do they think that they don't deserve to be treated like human beings?

And of course, the only thing that B.O. can do is vacation and give sound bytes.  He is to leadership as a duck is to ballet.  Incompatible.

We have a chance to fix it in a few weeks.  In November, we can return the senate to sane ground.  We can remove Boehner as the speaker of the house and replace him with someone who has a backbone.  It can be done.  And once it is done, please let Trey Gowdy loose.  Demand answers from the white house.  I am not afraid to use the I word.  Start with some hearings, and when the press refuses to cover it, use the means that you have. Plaster it all over conservative media.  eventually even the sheep will notice.  Elections have consequences.  Show B.O. how true that is.  You'll thank me later.

Stop Everything! Two People Who Cheated to Be Together Got Married! or, Third Time is the Charm.

This should be about three weeks old by the time that it gets published.  That should give me time to decide if I want to let it go out into the world, or just let it quietly be deleted.  Ever since my faithless ex cheated, adultery has been a bit of a sore subject. I think divorce is too easy to get, there, I said it.  But even if it weren't so easy to get-when did adultery become the thing to be celebrated?
Don't give me that crap about two people just wanting to be happy.  Two people were happy until one of them followed his or her naughty bits into greener pastures.  If divorce were as difficult to get as it used to be, then maybe people would reconsider before screwing around.
Don't get me wrong-I never saw the attraction to Brad Pitt.  He isn't ugly, but neither are a lot of men.  He decided to be socially aware.  How nice for him.  So he made a couple of speeches about a couple things, and suddenly, he is a serious actor.  Whatever. He is a cheater.  Worse, he is unrepentant.  I guess it's okay now to be a liar and a cheat.
Of course, the woman that he left his wife for has a history of cheating.  That is, when she isn't french kissing her brother.  I guess she doesn't worry about the morals of a situation.  Let's hope none of her children ever run into a woman like, well, her.  It would serve her right.
While I am on this particular soap box- at least now when they go out to buy another child, they will have the blessing of marriage on their side.  I've spoken often about a friend who has been trying to adopt for several years now.  Unless you are a celebrity, there is no baby store where you can pick up a fresh newborn off the shelf and take it home.
When people talk about the moral decay of our nation-this is what they mean.  Divorce is too easy to get. Abortion is too easy to get.  Cheating is acceptable, if not condoned.  Ask Slick Willie.  Lying is expected.  I don't understand why things are allowed to slide like this.  When do people take a stand?
Is it really much of a leap from homosexual "marriage" to polygamy and other abominations?  I have often said that I have a dog that is more loyal than any man I have ever met.  If I married her, she would have all of the spousal benefits and protections that are given to two lesbians who play dress up for a day-why not?
But before I segue into another rant- let's just say that I find Brad Pitt and his latest wife disgusting.  When they implode-and they will-I will be right there with a giant toldyouso.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.

Small Claims Court Adventures

I have rental property. Anyone who thinks that this is the ticket to easy street had better shop around for another ticket.  There are good things about rentals, but there are a host of other issues that make it not as great as people would think it is.
Good tenants. There are times when this starts to seem like a myth, something like a unicorn sighting.  I was always a good tenant. I paid on time, and I didn't tear things up.  I left it as clean-or cleaner-than when I rented it.  This is not always the case.  Trust me. I have had tenants who put holes in the wall. Some have let their animal destroy screen doors. Don't they see the problems as they are happening?  I guess not.  They are oblivious to the damage until the time to get their security deposit rolls around.  Then they notice, trust me.
Neighbors to your rentals.  I know people who hate having rentals in their neighborhood.  They believe that it lowers their property values, I guess.  Or maybe they think that a renter is automatically a bad person.  All I know is that I have 3 neighbors that I guarantee will tell me anything that my tenant may have done long before they are finished doing it.  It could be something I would like to know about-rolling stolen property into the place (thanks Juanita) or it could be something asinine-a neighbor who complains when tenants park across the street in front of his house.  You grit your teeth with these neighbors, that is all that you can do.  No matter what happens, they aren't happy.  Forget about trying to please them, that is a lost cause.
Quiet.  I had a tenant with a surround system.  There is a common wall.  While the tenant loved Star Wars- no one else wanted to hear the bass and treble involved in that movie when it is full blast.  Keep your volume at a normal level.  If you want to hear it blaring-go to the movies.  I work anywhere from 50 to 65 hours a week, and when I can finally go home, I just want to sleep, not listen to your noise.
Children.  Kids are great, I have three of my own.  But not everyone wants to see or hear your screaming destructive little offspring.  Teach them not to break things.  More importantly, teach them not to bother things that  aren't theirs.  That will go a long way toward making your landlord less hostile.  Trust me.
I know it seems like I am nit picking.  I had a downstairs neighbor once, she smoked like a chimney.  Most of all, she wanted to live in the duplex all alone.  She complained about every noise, sound and smell that came from her neighbors.  She once complained because she could hear my sons and me walking across the floor.  Seriously.  She wanted me to take my boys and go somewhere so that she couldn't hear us walking.  I shut the door in her face.  It also helped to block some of the stink from her cigarettes that she smoked 24/7.  But I know that it goes both ways.
We all have to get along in this world.  Stop looking for ways to make yourself angry and just try to get along with people.  You'll thank me later.

Wow! Does that Drunk Chick Hate Rick Perry! Why?

Have you seen the video where Reese Witherspoon got arrested?  She did the celebrity thing that drives me batcrap crazy.  She asked the question.  You know the one.  Do you know who I am?  As soon as the words are out in a movie-the protagonist always has a snappy answer.  I love those.  But in this case, she just had a bunch of drunken threats that pretty much toasted her 'America's Sweetheart' image and gave her manager a bigger need for Maalox, I'll bet.  There is a Latin expression : in vino verde.  It means in wine there is truth or what a person says while he is drunk is what he really thinks.  I believe that is the truth.
So now we come to District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.  She is in charge of the public integrity office.  She was arrested and convicted for having a blood alcohol content that was three times the legal limit.  She will not resign so Governor Perry vetoed any funds to her department.  An arrest warrant was issued for the Governor.
Keep  in mind that Austin is the liberal swamp in an otherwise sane bastion of common sense.  There are no plans to arrest or even pursue the warrant.  It just seems to be a genuine hissy fit thrown by a bureaucrat that should be removed from office.  Shame on her colleagues for not encouraging her to resign.
Watch the video.  She is pitiful.
http://youtu.be/s7y7oJ266qI
Maybe she is an alcoholic.  I don't know her situation.  Maybe she just had too many, and doesn't realize that the laws apply to all of us, not just us peons, but the bureaucrats as well.  Maybe she forgot.  It happens.
But Governor Perry said that if Ms. Lehmberg didn't resign, he would withhold funding.  He kept his word,that is probably what threw them. Their response was to waste countless tax dollars drafting an arrest warrant for the Governor.
And now we have the pictures of Governor Perry's mugshot.  He handled it with charm and grace, and a dash of humor.  Not to mention, his mugshot looks head and shoulders better than Ms. Lehmberg's does.  How much tax payer money is this wasting, anyway?
Cause and effect seems to be lost on a certain set of people.  Is there some wonder set of people who were pulled aside and told that it didn't matter what they did-they could get away with it throughout the ages?  Besides Ted Kennedy, who else was there?  Okay, Slick Willie, him too.  But who else?
Rules should be the same for all of us.  Same rules. Same consequences.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.

Why Does Harry Reid Want To Impeach Obama?

If you turn on the news, you keep hearing the "I" word.  You aren't hearing it from John Boehner. You aren't hearing it from  Rand Paul.  You aren't even hearing it from Ron Paul.  You are hear it from Nancy Pelosi.  You will hear it from the likes of  Harry Reid.  It will come in panicky tones from B.O.
The New York Times will mention it. It's a great way for the liberals to raise money.  They have been fund raising from it for a while now.  CBS mentions it on the news from time to time. NBC uses it like toilet paper. MSNBC screams it hysterically like a menopausal woman having her first real hot flash  in a crowded elevator full of burlap and barbed wire samples.
When The Senate flips ( God willing) there had better be some serious conversation about impeachment.  Until then, it's just rabble rousing.  I imagine that it is whispered in serious tones by the more realistic members of Congress.  Even they have to see the writing on the wall.  When someone polls in the high 40's-you are not looking at a good November.
Keep in mind, this is from people who are not getting real news.  They are spoon fed sunshine and roses every day.  If a cloud dares to show its face on the horizon- it is only because some mean old crazy tea party person put it there.
Rand Paul is personally responsible for puppies and kitties drowning.  I read that somewhere.  But back to the plan of the democrats.  They are the only ones who are talking about impeaching B.O. and it's pretty freudian when you think about it.  They know that that is the biggest cure to everything that ails our nation.  They also know that the last thing they want to do is fix our nation.  Poor Nancy Pelosi is gnashing her really large teeth at the idea she could have been vice president had B.O. been removed while she was Speaker of the House.  It would be bad enough with Mr. Boehner. But whatever it takes to get B.O. out.
Of course, after he's gone, we have to go about undoing most of the damage he has caused.  Crazy Joe Biden will actually think he is in charge of something.  That will have to be dealt with, of course.
There are three branches of government.  Something the Harvard "Law Professor" seems to have forgotten. Biden could be constrained for a year until it was time for an election.  We just have to hold on until November, and pray to God that Obama doesn't blow the world up before then.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.

I Stand With Israel

Israel sits on a tiny piece of land, about the size of New Jersey.  New Jersey is our fifth smallest state to give you a comparison.  Now, this tiny country is being asked to give up land to Palestinians, a made up people.  There is no such thing as Palestinians, they are simply Arabs.  Obama hates Israel.  I don't know if it is because their leader Benjamin Netanyahu knows Obama is an idiot and doesn't keep it to himself.  I don't know if it's because Obama's first allegiance is to muslims.  But there is some serious bad blood between the two.
It has become fashionable of late to be anti-semitic.  A day doesn't pass without some would be celebrity endorsing the terrorists who attack Israel daily.  They shoot one hundred rockets into Israel and then Israel responds by shooting one back.  The left and the msm go crazy.
The terrorists are hiding their rockets in schools and hospitals.  Israel shoots the places where the rockets are.  The left goes crazy.
I stand with Israel.  They have had to take too much crap from too many places.  They can't know peace because the crazy people around them will not allow it.  Leave Israel alone.
What is it that makes those other places crazy?  Israel is on one of the few places in the middle east that doesn't have oil reserves under it.  The land that created Israel isn't high end real estate.  But those muslim countries are going crazy, just the same.
Enter would be celebrities who feel that because they can memorize words and repeat them, that they should have a say in world politics.  That's a guaranteed recipe for stupidity.
I don't care what one of Tom Cruise's old beards think.  I don't care what any celebrity thinks about much of anything-I generally don't care for their opinions.
Leave Israel alone if you can't find the sense to support her.  She has been our steadfast ally through everything.  In a few short months, when B.O. is gone from Pennsylvania Avenue, we can have a leader again.  A leader who understands the importance of Israel and supports our relationship with her.  God bless Israel and the United States.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.

What is it About Racial Injustice That Makes a Person Need a Big Screen TV?

I have two axes to grind in this blog so bear with me.  My first ax is freshly sharpened and ready to go.  I don't know why a person who is stopped by the police thinks that by grabbing for the officer's gun, something good will happen.
It does if you are watching a movie, and the guy grabbing for the gun is the good guy, and he makes that shooting face.  But in real life, police or the bad guys (sadly they are sometimes one and the same) will win when they have their guns drawn 999 times out of a thousand.  Life is not like the movies, is it?
So why, when he was stopped, did the guy scuffle for the gun?  Bad idea.  Now he is no longer on this side of the turf, and Ferguson is in flames.  Of course, this is great news for Reverends Baby Daddy and Race Baiter.  Exactly what church do they call home?  I cannot imagine having to look at either one of them every Sunday morning. Especially after finding out that one of them was skimming from the collection plate to keep his mistress quiet about their love child and the other one was an F.B.I. snitch.  Stay classy, right? So anyway, as I'm standing there in my pew belting out Amazing Grace or When the Roll is Called Up Yonder (a personal favorite) I kind of like the guy preaching to be on the right side of the Lord, you know?
But there are those people who are so desperate to follow their poisoned message of hate, that they will follow them right off of the nearest cliff.  Pitiful.  I don't like a racist of any color. Archer Bunker was just as disgusting as George Jefferson-but only one was politically incorrect, wasn't he?
But back to the two "revs"-did you know that Reverend Baby Daddy used to make a good bit of his income by shaking down companies that weren't racially diverse enough to suit him?  He would meet with their board of directors and threaten to boycott their company unless a "donation" was made to his Rainbow Coalition.  Doesn't that sound like a shakedown to you?  I thought the mafia went to jail for that crap?
So now we have Ferguson engulfed in flames.  Thankfully, B.O. hasn't had to change his two weeks of vacation in Martha's Vineyard for this latest catastrophe.  Of course, if a military problem in Iraq couldn't stop the boogie man, a little race riot/ chance to get a bunch of free stuff wasn't going to do it either.  As soon as the realization that dancing -if that is in fact what this is, his arms are up high enough, he may be doing the idiot-was a bad idea the person who posted the pictures on instagram scrubbed them faster then a girl scrubs her face when she is sneaking in after curfew. Thanks to the internet (and Algore) they will live on forever.
The msm would have you believe that white people are walking around popping off blacks and latinos left and right.  The reality is that blacks are much more likely to be killed by another black.  Whites are much more likely to be killed by a black person.  It's not racist.  It's fact.  We have got to stop worrying about the color of a person's skin and start worrying about their character.  Obama doesn't have a lick of it. Not even a smidgen.
Much like his obese wife who makes sure that my children come home hungry every day while she is technically obese-he should worry about the log in his own eye instead of the speck in ours.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.

Nancy Pelosi, Still an Idiot

A Republican Congressman Tom Marino did something unexpected from a politician.  He stood on the House floor and he told the truth.  The truth didn't just set Nancy Pelosi free-it drove her off the reservation and deposited her smack dab in the middle of crazy town.
Mr. Marino was in the middle of pointing out that the current cluster hump on the Southern border is 100% the responsibility of team Obama.  For two years, he pointed out, the Democrats had control of all three bodies of government.  Had they been interested in controlling the border, they could have done it at any time in those two years.  Nancy Pelosi went, you'll excuse the expression, ape shit.
Not only did she break protocol and begin yelling on the floor, but she also interrupted Mr. Marino, time and again.  Then, after all of that, she chased after him, hectoring all the while.  Stay classy, Nancy.

http://youtu.be/HBdbx1wuKvM

You can watch the entire debacle for yourself.  Mr. Marino isn't lying.  The democrats had 100% of the government for two years.  The only thing that they did was pass socialized medicine.  Oh, and cash for clunkers.  And a host of other programs that ratcheted our deficit another seven trillion dollars.
So now, the former speaker is reduced to chasing others across the floor.
Can you imagine the creases in her botox if someone had broken with protocol and done that to her?  I am certain that she would have been digging another Sandra Fluke up out of anonymity to discuss the horrors of being caught in a lie while everyone is looking.

We need less Nancy Pelosis.  Not more.  But then, she has never thought that the rules have applied to her, has she?

From hiring illegals to by passing taxes, Ms. Pelosi doesn't follow the same rules that we do.  Must be nice.
I want our politicians to follow the same laws we do.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Don't Fly United- You'll Thank Me Later

I recently went on a cruise to Alaska.  We were flying into Seattle and our schedule was tight.  Airlines have gotten more and more tightfisted with their flights and we were the victim of skin flinted-ness and God awful customer service.
It started with sitting for three hours on the runway. Yep-three hours. I asked my companion why we didn't just fly around the storm-it was fast moving and going the opposite way from us.  No soup.  I asked the United employee fussy mc dickwad  if there was an alternate flight we could take as our schedule was now very tight.  Not only did he not care-he seemed to take delight in his unhelpfulness.  Just the sort of person who should work customer service, no?  So instead of even looking at the other scheduled flights he said no.  I didn't realize that United makes their employees memorize the entire flight schedule.  But they must, as I said-fussy mcdickwad didn't even bother to look at the schedules.
So we sat there, waiting, until we reached the maximum amount of time we could wait and not take off.  Then we went back in the terminal and waited another hour.  Finally, you'll never guess what they decided to do.  That's right-they flew around the storm.  Of course, we missed our flight out of Chicago into Seattle.  Luckily, the next person working for United-Sissy McHelpful- understood our problem and actually seemed to care about our predicament.  We still missed our cruise, however, by 21 minutes.  Yep. Less than half an hour.  So then Sissy McHelpful made some calls and United flew us by Alaska Airlines into Ketchikan, so that we could meet up with our cruise.
We ended up having to rent a room ($200 dollars and no air conditioning!) and having to miss the first two days of our cruise.  All because United parked their thumbs up their butts and hired that unhelpful jerk.
The flight home was infinitely better.  We flew with USAir and didn't have a single problem.  We even had the rare polite child seated beside us.
The seats on United were cramped and uncomfortable, also.  All of the airlines try to hawk their overpriced lunchables instead of serving a decent meal.  It was just pathetic.
I can understand why they lose money hand over fist.
So take it from me, don't fly United.  You'll thank me later!   ps- Happy Birthday Mitchell!!!!

The Supreme Court Gets One Right and the Left Goes Batcrap Crazy

I am not a big fan of the Supreme Court these days. I think that John Roberts is a coward and his stupidity foisted obamacare on the rest of us.  But as my father would remind me-even a broken clock is right twice a day.
HobbyLobby is a wonderful store chain.  If you build dollhouses (like I do) there is no better place to get anything you could possibly need for that dollhouse.  They also are closed on Sundays to allow their employees the time to spend with their families and observe the sabbath.  How cool is that???
Now because the folks that own HobbyLobby are God fearing Christians with a working moral compass-they will not provide abortifacients as part of their healthcare plan.  Enter obamacare and boom! now HobbyLobby was expected to either violate their conscience or pay a HUGE fine.  The Supreme Court got one right and narrowly allowed that no private company has to provide abortifacients if it violates their beliefs.
Keep in mind that the healthcare HobbyLobby's insurance plan provides for 16 out of the 20 methods of birth control listed in Obamacare mandates.  They just won't pay for the ones that will kill a fertilized egg.  Simple enough, isn't it?  Not to the screaming left, it isn't.  They are losing their minds.  I have read more than one renouncing semi-hysterical rant wherein the author of the piece likens this small piece of sanity to the end of the world.
Walmart still sells the pill for four bucks.  Hobby Lobby will still pay for your birth control pills.  What they won't pay for is the morning after pill.  They won't pay for any pill or injection that will stop a fertilized egg from living.  How much simpler can it get?
I have used this analogy before but I will trot it out again.  Pork is good for you. High protein, low fat, and pork doesn't marble the fat like beef does.  That is to say, you can slice the fat off from pork and not have to worry about it being in the slice of meat you are eating.  In short, pork is relatively cheap and it is good for you.
If HobbyLobby was made to pay for abortifacients, then why wouldn't Jews and Muslims have been able to be forced to consume pork?  With the Yeti's unmitigated assault on what children can eat while at school- it could have happened.  The food police are alive and well.
Scrap obamacare.  It hasn't lowered the cost curve-it hasn't made anything more affordable.  It hasn't even gotten more people insured.  There are much better ways to accomplish the job of providing affordable healthcare to everyone. Selling insurance across state lines is a start. More competition is always good.  Look into tort reform.  Weed out the frivolous suits.  That will help a lot too.
Think about it. you'll thank me later.
