Damn Republicans!

Joe Biden, or the bumbling idiot as I like to call him, was interviewed by the Obama media this morning and here is what he had to say "I'm really surprised by the lack of cooperation we have had from the Republicans". He continued in the same vein by stating "we have offered them so many opportunities to work with us". Reallllllly? Come on! We all know that Joe and Obama and their crowd could not care less what the Republicans think, and the only time they want them to be included in any process is so that they can say "the Republicans voted for it too". What a bunch of hypocritical liars. I'm so fed up with this process, it is my belief that the conservatives should all get together, kick out the Arlen Specters of the world and stand on our principles! Are there any leaders out there that will actually stand up for what they believe? I'm beginning to doubt it. Have a great day, and if you would like to read my latest story, you can find it at http://dtshangrila.blogspot.com/.

Insensitive

A plane flying low, chased by a F-16, close above the city avenues of New York, heading towards the Statute of Liberty. A scene out of a movie...another devestating terrorist attack? No, just your normal insensitive photo op approved by the White House staff. Another example of the arrogance, stupidity and overall nonthinking attitude of the people running this country. It's one of my biggest gripes concerning those in charge, the fact that they just don't think things through. There is no experience on how to actually act when in charge, and therefore the mistakes they make are stupid, commonsense mistakes. What is truly troublesome about this is that the mistakes continue to happen on a daily basis. There is one redeeming factor to being stupid; it calls so much attention to what is happening that we conservatives are constantly reminded to be viligant against the bigger picture, the picture of Obama leading us in the wrong direction. The stupid mistakes gives us reason to always have him in our thinking, which reminds us of his agenda, and his agenda will bankrupt America, will cost us, our children, our grandchildren and their children our freedom and our country. Predicting dire results is not fun, but every conservative must do his/her part, this is my part!

New story blog

I have other skills besides writing about politics and have decided to put one of those skills to use. The first two books I penned were titled Plates of Gold and other spiritial poems, and The Donkey and the Elephant. The first book has been out approximately 3 years and I get a royalty check once every six months. Each check has been so small that I have not even cashed them. That's sad, I agree, but that's life. You might think that the second would sell at least a few more copies than the first, because it is a political satire along the same lines as Animal Farm. Alas, it has not been any more (or any less) a best seller than the poetry has. I've written plenty more, and in fact have three other books completed. However, the publisher wishes to see the first two sell before they commit to any further publications (imagine that!). Here is what I have decided. I am going to start a new blog, it will contain a book that I am currently writing. You, and readers like you, can make suggestions and comments throughout the entire book. The new blog can be found at http://dtshangrila.blogspot.com/. Comments are welcome!

Stupid, stupid, stupid

During the last presidential campaign I heard liberals tout the fact that Obama was going to be the smartest President we have ever had...in fact, one went so far as to say that Obama's intelligence was 'off the chart'. Excuse me, but I find that very difficult to believe. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence would know better than to release for world view the tactics we use to gather data on terrorist operations. Yet, Obama did so with ease. This administration has got to be the most stupid we have ever had, and that includes Carter. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

100 million and counting

Let's see now, a 3.4 trillion dollar budget spending money that we don't have, and Mr. Obama touts the fact that he is cutting one hundred million dollars from his budget. Wow! Aren't we impressed? That would be like every man, woman and child in America spending $60,000 on a new car, then deciding that they had spent too much, taking out a $150 cup holder. How about that, talk about fiscal conservatism, I'm so delighted I could just scream. Change, change, change! Change for fools!

Homeland security...

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a report that states "DHS has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues". In other words, when conservatives hold rallies like they did on April 15th it is due primarily to (and I quote the report once again) "the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalism and recruitment". So, now conservatives who are worried about their country are rightwing radicals. My, my, my...to think of what my mother must think of me now. Homeland security should actually be doing its job instead of presenting distorting, discriminating and dispicable reports on honest, common citizens who are upset with the radical, socialist path the government is bent on taking us. My question to Homeland security is "why don't you look into the radical relationships Mr. Obama has continued to foster?" That's right, he wouldn't even pass the security clearance necessary to be in the Armed Services, but he's good enough to be President? What a joke!

Idiots in government

The idiot watch is out again, and (surprise, surprise) it's Obama by a clear margin. Now he would have us believe that if we are nice to our enemies they will be nice to us! That sounds nice on a poster board, but in reality, they wish us nothing but harm. Never fear, Barack is here! He will make everyone happy, and peaceful and composed. Sorry dude, it doesn't work that way.

Again with the animal rights?

Last Friday I was again teaching class and during lunch three girls came to my room to find out why I hated animals. So, now I'm an animal hater. My point is not that I hate animals. I have a dog who sleeps in my bed almost every night, who misses me when I'm gone and who jumps all over me when I return. However, she is still just a dog, an animal, not a human being that is born with rights. What is really sad about this entire scenario is that we can kill babies with impunity, abortionists are paid huge sums of money to dispose of human "waste", we have a President who does not want his daughters "punished with a baby" and yet we have young people that will fervently argue that animals should be taken care of and afforded the same rights as humans. It's too bad that such fervor is not being displayed for those little babies and the rights that should be equated to them.

Is this world going nuts?

I'd like to know how a tea party to protest taxes and wasteful spending turned into a free for all against Republicans by the liberal mass media. Is it just me or does anyone else see the ultimate hypocrisy in their statements. I heard one blathering idiot equate the individuals who showed up at these tea parties as being "racists who hate the fact that there is a black man in the White House". Really? What I have found is that idiots such as the one who made that statement have no clue except their own thoughts to go by. Liberals are really getting a bad name by making such ignorant statements and especially when they attack common, working class people who are worried about the future of the country. I believe that what they are really worried about is that the people who normally don't take the time to protest are now doing so. This is especially worrisome to them, because they are now in a position of power, and do not want to lose that power. I for one plan on continuing my verbal writings in an attempt to bring some semblance of sanity back to our government. Until that time arrives, I will fight tooth and nail to make my voice heard!

Animal rights

I'm teaching a class of high school students yesterday and a young lady brought up the fact that animals have rights...okay I say, what rights do they have and why? She says because we are animals and have rights that animals require the same treatment and that they should be treated equally. Is this ludicrous, or am I the only one out there that believes somewhat differently? Well, a lot bit differently come to think of it. It seems to me that these kids are getting this nonsense from somewhere, and that perhaps we as experienced, knowledgeable adults should be gently correcting their misconceptions with compassion, love and forebearance. Either that or just laugh at their silliness, explain to them in no uncertain terms how inane they truly are, give them a good kick in the butt, and send them on their way. I vote for the latter.

Relationships

I recently spent a week in Ft Lauderdale in the presence of elite college and national team coaches and came away from the experience with some new insight. I have determined that I am not requiring enough out of the players that I coach. Instead of trying to be nice to them, I should actually be demanding much, much more from them on the soccer pitch. If I do not demand excellence, then I will not get it. This is true in life as well. If our government continues to bail everyone and anyone out of their financial miseries, then they will come to expect it and will cease to take any responsibilities for themselves. This is true for companies as well as individuals. It is also a harbinger of disaster for our country. Like my demands for excellence on the soccer pitch, excellence must be demanded from our citizens and our leaders. Our new national slogan should be: No more mediocrity!

Hilliary diliary doc, the idiot ran up the clock!

I heard the esteemed Hilliary Clinton tell the international community that the United States would do nothing to prevent further pirate attacks on our citizens until the "international community" decides what is the best course of action. Now isn't that special! The mighty U.S. has to wait for the international community to tell us what they want done. Remember the time when we ruled the world? Remember the time when we had the strength and leadership to make our own decisions? Guess what! Those times are long gone. Aren't we citizens just soooo happy to have change, change, change!!!

Help me I being held by pirates!

The American captain of a cargo ship has been taken hostage by Somalians interested only in coercing money from his company for his safe return. Can you imagine his thoughts right now with the knowledge that we have a President that has not one lick of foreign policy experience? We have as a President a man who would negotiate with terrorists, who would sit down with dictators, who claims Iran is a small country that can do us no harm, and a man that hobknobs with terrorists and radicals throughout his entire adult life and that same man is now faced with a situation that calls for some difficult choices. This may be exactly what Joe Biden meant when he said that we would be tested before six months was up. Let's see; North Korea firing missles, terrorists taking captives on the high seas, I hate to even think what's next. It's going to be a long, long four years.

No longer Christian

According to our illustrious president, we are no longer 'a Christian nation'. That's interesting news to all the Christians in America, the country founded with Christian values is no longer Christian. Does that mean we are a Godless nation? Does that mean Barack desires the nation to be Muslim, radical or some other form of religion? What is most troubling about this entire attitude is that we knew before the election that Barack had radical viewpoints and he was elected anyway, so, for once he might be right. If we are no longer Christian, then this country founded on Christian values and supported by a Heavenly Father that promised us untold riches if we adhered to those values will no longer enjoy those same blessings. I guess we will have to learn the dangers of such a path.

Nationalizing Banks

The signs are there, we need to be aware! When banks wish to repay the TARP money early, and the federal government (Obama and his socialist friends) say "no, not until we say you are ready", does that bother anyone? Let's take a look at that scenario; some banks have already said they would rather give the money they took from the government back, but that the government is unwilling to accept the repayments. Why would the government not wish to be paid back, that's easy...now they have control over the banks. Now they can tell the CEO's how much money they can make, and even more disturbing, they can tell the banks who to loan money to, and who not to loan money to. That's the way we got into this mess to begin with, and now it's twice as bad. Nice way of nationalizing banks, wouldn't you say?

Learning experience

Having just returned from a Premier licensing course for soccer coaches in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, I find myself in a unique position of not knowing what has been happening lately politically, but I will be back up to speed shortly. When I am, I will post accordingly. I did hear the emphatic response to North Korea's launching of a missle by Obama, I guess they are just trembling in fear! It was so strongly worded that they saw the hidden strength lying within him....NOT!
