Politics as usual?




I feel so damn sorry for the woman in Texas who is camped outside of GW’s ranch, wanting a pow-wow with the big chief. But lets be real. Do you think that anyone can protest there way into a meeting with the president? I think it is shameful that organizations like moveon.org and other like them have made this poor suffering woman their face.
To me it is a disgusting use of a person that , if you read her more extreme statements is obviously loosing it! I for one think that this war sucks! I love our men and women in uniform and regret that they have been placed into the job that they currently are in. But I am doing something by this blog, and by getting my friends and other contacts talking about the war and other political things, hoping to make some of them see things my way or at least become involved. In the political process.
Anyone that supports the efforts of moveon.org by supporting this sad effort by an disturbed woman should feel ashamed of themselves!
If you want to support something, write you Representative, your Senator or your president and tell them what you think ad feel.
If you do not know who your Representative is call the congressional switchboard at 1-202-225-3121
Every state has 2 senators, contact them both. By phone and by fax, and by mail! DO IT! OR shut up!!!!
Okay point two for the day.. ponder this if you will… Illegal immigration.. if this is supposed to be a Representative Republic (democracy), why is any talk of illegal immigration falling on deaf ears in Washington? Answers that we hear are the right wants cheap labor, and the left wants a new voter base. SO basically what they are telling us is that there is NO Representation of the people in Washington. Guess what guys.. other than a few Democratic Governors trying to make political hay by saying that they have declared "State of Emergency" (despite the laws and such that they have backed in the last couple of years that make it easier for illegals to stay, get driver’s licenses, and make it not the job of the police to work with immigration officials) Despite all of that, they are the only ones I hear saying anything! Guess what guys, I think it is time to fire the current politicos.. now I know it seems like the deck is stacked against us.. look at the last presidential race.. Kerry.. a big business dem and George Bush the biggest of big business republicans.. what was the choice.. we all knew nobody else had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning other then the chosen ones from the two major parties..
Well , the deck is stacked against us.. you have a choice.. the Republicans, who support and are supported by BIG business, with interests as much outside of this country as in, or the Democrats, who’s power base comes from the poor, (that in my eyes, they keep poor with their policy of all smoke no cigar). And guess what oppressed and poor readers.. NONE OF THEM ARE POOR!!! NONE of their major contributors are poor.. and more and more it seems like the kook fringe is their voice.. so where does that leave us???
Well it leaves up looking at issues that are made bigger then they should be like abortion.. if you are pro-choice, you have to vote Dem, if pro-life you vote Republican.. life is so easy when you break it down to one issue and vote on that isn’t it.. well that is a COP OUT! As long as we the people take the easy rout and say , well my one issue is (blank) and because this party or that agrees with me, I have to vote that way, we will keep getting life doled out to us in SoundBits that make us vote one way or another.. Dem or Rep, Con or Pro..
Politicians everywhere, the US, the UK , The Congo and everywhere in between run our lives.. like it or not.. they have some power over what we hear, and see, and to that degree what we think.. that’s their job. As long as we take everything that they say at face value, life is simple.. but if you dare to ask, "How is this candidate going to effect my freedom." (one of our God given rights) the answer is much bleaker, isn’t it?
Example? When I though Kerry.. I thought, my taxes will go up, so he can pay for the poor votes he received by promising hand outs to the lazy. (And the sadest part is, that the truly deserving poor, would not see much at all, but the leaches like AL Sharpton and the Rev (HA!) Jessie Jackson and like organizations would have been paid huge) (side note.. GODDAMN POLITICS SUCKS!)
When I though Bush I though, well he may very well get us nuked, put detention camps up for non-conforming US citizens and Naturalized aliens that believe one way. (like the camps for the Japanese and German and Italian during WW II) Not bad treatment, but the German camps made more Nazis than the originally interred, by all accounts given by non-nazi German detainees.)
Of that’s a choice.. more taxes (I already pay too much and maybe more terrorism, vs. a return to the bad old days.. ) Did I vote.. nope I said why bother. (just like many of you did)
We need high quality independents.. as far as parties go I like the libertarians, (and NO I do not use drugs of any kind, you’re an ass for even thinking that) But her is what I say, support ANY independent! The two party system is broken, and unless we do something about it QUICKLY it is going to get worse. And then there will be no representation of us the people.. There is not much now, and the non-enforcement of the immigration laws already on the books proves it.

Movies that Suck Review: Alexander

Okay, I got a thing for Angelina Jolie.. I mean she is the one woman in the world that by her sheer beauty alone, could total ruin me.. I mean if she asked me to jump off of a bridge for her.. there would be a splashing sound before she finished the sentence.

So I rented Alexander on DVD from my local blockbuster.. ( I even like Oliver Stone movies as a rule, so I had high hopes)
It had some action, it had some Angelina Jolie.. it had me sleeping inside of the first hour. It literally took me three sittings before i made it through! And even then I cannot recall much of it.. it is all just a blur.. battle scenes shot by what looked like the cinematographers form Blair Witch Project.. Over acting that made many of Chuck Norris's early movies look like academy award winners.. I mean it really sucked.. front to back all the way through!

If you want to own this piece of tripe you can do it by clicking on the picture below.. and if you do.. I wish you well.. and hope you find that really talented Psychiatrist you’ve been looking for. On the bright side, at least it helped cure my insomnia.


Now on the other hand, if you want to see Angelina Jolie as nature intended.. naked and beautiful, and seductive.. try taking lives! An excellent sex scene makes this a 5 star showing.. Bravo Diva! Bravo Diva!

Should you be a libertarian?

I just took a small teast at lp.org and I come to find out that I am a libertarian! Take the test here http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html

Look who else is?

Libertarian Celebrities
Libertarians can pop up in the most unexpected places: In Hollywood. On television. In your local newspaper. On your CD or MP3 player. In fact, here is a list of 12 notable Americans -- and every one of them is a self-declared libertarian. (Click on any photo or name for a complete profile.)


Clint EastwoodMovie legend Clint Eastwood is known for his tough, laconic characters. He projects the same image when he talks about politics, saying simply that he's a "libertarian... Everyone leaves everyone else alone."


Drew CareyTV funnyman Drew Carey isn't laughing when he talks about the government. "You should never depend on the government for your retirement, your financial security, for anything," he says. "If you do, you're screwed."


MelanieMelanie sings a different song than many of her Woodstock-era contemporaries when it comes to politics. "I'm a total Libertarian," she says. "I am not a Democrat, a Socialist, or a Republican. Vote Libertarian!"


Walter WilliamsAs a syndicated columnist, Walter Williams is known for speaking his mind. "Government is about coercion," he says. "Limiting government is the single most important instrument for guaranteeing liberty."


Dave Barry If big government is ever toppled by laughter, this Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist may be the cause. Dave Barry has no love for politicians. "For them, the question is always, What kind of government intervention should we impose?" he says. "They never think that maybe we shouldn't."


John StosselWhen it comes to big government, this ABC television broadcaster says, "Give me a break!" And why not? John Stossel says about himself: "I am a libertarian in that I believe in limited government and as much individual freedom as possible."

Russell MeansHis journey from Indian-rights activist to star of movies like Last of the Mohicans has given him a unique perspective on politics. "Freedom is for everyone, whatever lifestyle they choose, as long as it's peaceful and honest," Russell Means says.

Milton FriedmanHe won a Nobel Prize for economics in 1976 for his pioneering work in free-market theory. So people tend to pay attention when Milton Friedman says, "I am a limited-government libertarian."

Dwight YoakamThis guitar-slinging, honky-tonk outlaw and star of movies (including Sling Blade) usually doesn't talk about politics. But when he does, Dwight Yoakam says, "I believe in liberty. I'm a libertarian."


Congressman Ron PaulHe's run for office as a Republican and a Libertarian, but his agenda remains the same. "The purpose of all political action should be to promote liberty," says Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

Esther Dyson She's been called one of the computer industry's greatest visionaries -- and her greatest vision is of liberty. Esther Dyson says, "I would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government."

Kurt RussellWhat does the star of dozens of movies -- from Escape from New York to Miracle -- believe in? "Being a libertarian, I do believe that limited government is good," says Kurt Russell. "I believe in that. Freedom, freedom, freedom."

Actually as an aging adult I like the LP.. I know that it is seen as a little extreme in some areas, but lets face it, if you are going to have a political leaning, this ain’t a bad way to tilt. They seem to truly stand for independence and freedom, and I think we all need a little more of both, thrown in with a good dose of accountability!

Do me a favor, read the stuff on http://www.lp.org Even if find that you do not agree at ALL with the LP at least you will be better informed in the next election cycle. The two party system that we currently have, is not working for me? Does it work for you? If not, why? Why not give the LP a look over?
Peace, Pass it on.

(for the record, I do not use any illicit drugs, no pot, no coke no nothin’ but I see where non-victim crimes need not be criminal, and where our current drug policy is causing more harm than good. Remember Prohibition? Remember armed gangs, machine gun drive-bys and g-men?? Look around you, look at the news.. it just has a different face, where once you saw Al Capone, you now see Snoop Dogg)
Well at least you can still do nothing about it.. it is a free country right? (If you do nothing , you my friend are an idiot.)

HELP ME!!!

Okay.. I did not need to do that all in caps.. but I hope it got your attention.

Can anyone tell me how to promote a blog? I mean, if this were a regular website, I would do some tweaking in the head adn between the body tags a submit it to search engines. But this whole blog thang is new to me.. I have searched and searched.. and found some stuff that may or may not be helpful.. you just never can tell when someone is scamming you these days.. So if anyone knows how to promote a blog, and feels like this one has anything of value.. please promote it for me.. or write a comment here and tell me what you know.. or email me and tell me that way.. or just say.. "to hell with you dude" and do nothing. It is a free country.. more or less. SO I guess you can do whatever pleases you..

Peace, pass it on..
