Combating Liberal Bias

How does the common citizen combat the rampant liberalism displayed in the media and in our educational system? That is a question I ask myself on almost a daily basis, and one possible answer could be the internet. What a fantastic tool to disseminate information. The problem, however, is that liberal hypocrites use the media to continually bombard us and our children with their nonsensical ideas. Especially disconcerting are those that attack conservatives through insidious comments that no one in the major media counters. I've received a few emails that have asked me what can be done by those of us that are fearful of the direction in which the country seems to be moving, and to those I reply, "have faith! be strong, and pass these words along!" Like the hippie movement of the 60's "we shall overcome". Do not let us be dissuaded from our path to bring a modicum of sensibility back to America. Do not be fearful of those that would deride our efforts to live our lives in a conservative manner. Allowing those, in the media and elsewhere, who constantly purport the 'anything goes' mantra to continue unopposed will only continue to empower them. We must be willing to stand up to such nonsense and denounce it for exactly what it is, a weak justification for weak characters.

Stimulus Package?

Where have all the flowers gone? What is the meaning of life? How is a stimulus package stimulating? Answers to these and other important questions can be found blowing in the wind, or in other words, there aren't any answers. Instead we, the American people will be on the hook for another trillion dollars! It's like our elected leaders are the most stupid people on the face of the planet. They tried this 'stimulus package' last year and it did not work. What kind of idiot makes the same mistake again, and again, and again. Obviously its Congress and the soon to be new President. Who pays for their mistakes? Once more it will be the American people.

Intelligence Test

Okay, here's the scoop! After watching news coverage of our recent election where reporters asked people why they voted for Obama, and hearing the most nonsensical replies, I believe that it is time to implement a simple intelligence test before a person receives the right to vote. This is how it would work, as you walk into the voting location you are handed a card and directed to an electronic booth. You answer the questions on the card and have them scanned by the scanner. If you miss more than two of the five very simple questions, a buzzer sounds and you are escorted off the premises. You may try again, but remember the questions change with every card. Some sample questions might be; "who has been in charge of Congress during the last 4 years? or "what major issue has this candidate ever espoused" or even "how did your particular candidate vote on this issue?" Simple questions that any idiot wishing to vote should be able to answer. No pass, no vote!

Socialism running rampant

A recent quote by a senior regulatory expert at the Heritage Foundation caught my eye. The reason for my interest was because of President Bush's bailout of the auto industry. The expert, James Gattuso, said, "we've always had a free market economy, which means that companies rise and fall based upon what consumers say they want and how well [companies] manufacture a product without the government choosing who should win and who should lose in the marketplace." Gattuso also believes that the President was flaunting the law when he gave the money to the auto industry because the money came from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) that was specifically approved by Congress to aid only financial institutions. I agree with Gattuso, how the heck is GM and Chrysler financial companies? They're not! Much of the trouble that GM/Chrysler find themselves in is due to their own making, and Congress is as much to blame as the companies are. Congress continually put into force laws that told the automakers exactly what they had to include in their manufacturing process and now the companies are paying the price. Who is there to bail them out? Congress of course! There are two really scary parts to this entire fiasco. First, the major media is going right along with Congress and the President by telling America that it is necessary for us to foot the bill. Second, the government is purchasing company stock making government major shareholders. Does anyone else besides me see anything wrong with this scenario? I never thought our country would have to face this type of crisis, and that we citizens would remain silent as government officials literally take over our lives. It is really scary! When you hear those who we voted into office say they want to 'socialize' the oil industry, put the coal companies out of business, buy banks and auto companies, something is really, really wrong. If we are silent about this, then we will deserve everything we get (or don't get as the case may be). It is my hope you readers will think about this, its our country, let's stand up to those who would take it from us!

Governor Corrupt

I'm so sick of reading and hearing about the Illinois governor that I could just puke. What a scumbag! Then today I read how the esteemed senator from Nevada, Mr Harry Reid, had called the governor before he was arrested to contribute his two cents worth to the situation. First Barack "I've never done anything wrong" Obama, and then Jesse "I have a huge contribution here in my pocket" Jackson Jr., now Harry "the hypocrite" Reid all trying to say they did nothing wrong concerning the governor's attempts to sell the seat. I think we should line them all up and horsewhip a sense of responsiblity into their little pea brains. They are a bunch of thieves, liars, philanderers and despots, yet they think they are above the law. Are we just going to sit back and allow these criminals to run our country completely into the ground? I sure hope not. Please America, come to your senses.

A little celebrating!

The more personal events in life sometimes can be quite joyful. First of all, my U-13 girls won the futsal indoor championship tonight by playing a dominating game, and then as I travel home through the slush and snow I listen to the University of Utah football team as they manhandled the Alabama Crimson Tide 31 - 17. Take that Nick Saban! Maybe next time you will learn to keep your big mouth shut and not put down your opponent for playing in a "non-BCS conference". Go Utes! Was Alabama even at the game? Utah scored enough in the first quarter to put it on cruise control until the end. Fantastic. One thing that I learned from watching this unfold, was that anyone can beat anyone. That's true in college football, competitive soccer, and even in life. My creedo: never give up, never surrender, never say die!

New Year's Resolutions

Ok, I know, I know, everyone makes New Year's Resolutions and then only a few actually follow through. One reason why I make very few each year is so that I can really concentrate on what I wish to accomplish and have a good chance of doing so.
My first resolution is to lose 19 pounds before the end of March. When I attend my Premier licensing course in Ft Lauderdale the first week of April, I want to be in good enough shape to keep up with the younger coaches and one way to do that is by losing the extra poundage I am currently carrying. I have printed a list of low carb and high protein foods that I plan to stick to (at least until March). I'm also going to drink at least one glass of water per day the entire year. I drink far too much soda and wish to cut down so I will substitute a glass of water for soda each day. Last but not least, I resolve to run, jog, walk or bike at least 1000 miles this year. This is the same as last year, and I did so. I am one year older though, so I'm not going to raise the mileage, instead I will try to ride and run more consistently (instead of piling on all the miles during the summer).
Those are my resolutions for this year. Nothing to extravagant, but at least they are realistic. Have a Happy New Year and may God bless you with all that you need.
