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!
