America the used to be

I don’t mean to imply that this nation of ours is not a great nation, I still believe it is, but for how long? I will be 50 in a few weeks and while that is not that old, it does mean that I have seen some changes in my life time, and I am not talking about i-phones, mp-3’s or flat screen TV’s, all of which I have, not to mention the Lap Top I am typing on or the internet I intend to post this on, the information age has connected the world in ways I would not have been able to imagine when I was a kid, and let me give a shout out to “spell check” possibly the greatest break through since the 4-door pickup truck.   

Here is what I mean; we used to have hero’s, and I don’t mean the comic book kind, I am talking about the men and women who dared to go into space, the guy who broke the sound barrier on the salt flats in Utah. Audi Murphy the undersized farm boy from North Texas who could not even get into the Marines, then went on to become the most decorated soldier of WWll. When I was a child I stood in school and said the pledge of allegiance, facing the flag that hung in every class room, and I knew I was special because God had blessed me and made me an American, yea I know that seems harsh when you consider all the people of the world that were not blessed to be here, but I was and this is still a great nation, we are great because of where we came from. We were the persecuted of the world, we braved a new world to escape poverty and persecution for religious beliefs, we didn’t walk into some deal where we were handed everything, our ancestors worked, fought and died to make this nation great.

When Europe was threatened not once but twice, this nation answered the call, we fought and died for the cause of freedom and we took no land except enough to bury or dead, we asked no reparations, and our troops came home to a hero’s welcome for doing the right thing, not for us but for humanity. Now we have elected officials accusing soldiers of targeting noncombatants, not because it is true but because it will get him votes in his district.

The President goes around the world on the great American apology tour, he in acts policies that are destroying our nation, and if you disagree with him, you are a resist, so much for free speech.

We are no vilified for our belief in God, while the ACLU will defend anyone’s right to be liberal but ignore someone’s right to pray in public, we live in a world where women’s rights originations will defend a women’s right to be liberal but vilify a conservative women while calming to be dedicated to the advancement of all women.

I ask again; where are the heroes. In 1944 at the battle of Bastogne the 101^st Air Borne Division found themselves cut off and surrounded, caught in freezing weather without proper winter clothing, when the commander of the German forces offered to allow an honorable surrender, that he would feed and provide medical care to the beleaguered Americans. Gen McAuliffe the commander of the 101^st sent back a one word reply, “Nuts”. Kind of silly by today’s vocal standards, but that one word said all he wanted to say, and when the word got around to the troops they cheered and became more determined to hold out. What was it that mad the Gen. such a great man, he didn’t wear a cape, he was never featured in a comic book, no he was just another American, one that believed in American Greatness.

Today our children are not taught of these great men and women, they are not taught of the greatness of our nation, or our true history, they don’t understand that the greatness of our flag is the fact that it was borne in battle, that it stands for freedom, no one has told them that this nation has given more and bled more for the cause of freedom then any nation on this planet.  

So what do we do? We do what we have always done, we fight, we fight for freedom for the protection of our way of life and our constitution, I am not saying take to the streets and declare war, although if we continue down this path it may come to that, one only needs to look at Great Britain, France, Spain and Greece. To deny it could happen here is tantamount to sticking your head in the sand. But if conservative voices speak out, if we pay attention to who we elect, if we demand that our representatives, represent us and not just themselves, if we hold them accountable, and that includes the liberal press that feed us propaganda and not the news, by the way did you know we are at war in Libya? And if not you should demand to know. The point is get involved let’s not let this Republic fall, defend what is ours, we can’t wait for heroes, we have to be heroes. And if a time comes when we have to take to the streets, I like our ancestors will stand with you to defeat tyranny.    

Whatever happened to the Libyan War?

Hey check it out; we are at war with Libya, I know, I know you haven’t heard anything about it in the news so how could it be so. I mean it was not that long ago that Bush went to congress to obtain permission to go to War with Afghanistan and Iraq. Then they turned around and called him a war monger, a war criminal, a murderer, a baby killer, you know the whole nine yards.

So where are all those people now, “hey Pelosi we are talking to you” John Kerry where is your indignation now????

Funny I can’t hear a thing, from the Liberal elite or the “oh so honest” liberal press, and as of now BO (that stands for Barak Obama, and yes the pun is intended, because I think he stinks), anyway to this day BO has snubbed congress and has not yet appeared before them, yes the same guy that as a Senator accused the Bush administration of fighting an illegal war under false pretenses.

But it’s ok because his press secretary says they are doing nothing illegal, this engagement is not a war. He makes it sound like they are all over there hitting each other with plastic bats; you know the big over sized ones.   

Ok I started this article yesterday and was going to complete it today, glad I did because while reading the Blaze this morning I came across an article about a Jr. High year book form a school in Arkansas that apparently includes a list of top 5 worst people of all time, on the list is Hitler, Bin Laden, Manson, then “get this” George Bush and Dick Chaney. I am just blown away, this is the crap they are filling our kids with, not learning, indoctrination, and you better believe its happening and there is an agenda by the left to destroy our Republic.

You remember all those crazy movies of the 80’s where some guy is wearing a foil hat to keep the aliens from taking over his mind, we all laughed but it’s happening, and the aliens are the liberal left, they are pumping our kids full of propaganda that promotes their belief, they say things like lets be more civil in our discourse, then they attack every conservative on a personal level, that’s because not only can they not argue the facts, they don’t know them nor are they interested in knowing them. Why you ask, well they believe in ideology, in ends justifies the means, and since their way of life it the correct way then it is ok, we can always be civil after they take over, but that will be the end of free speech and free choice, we can just tear up the constitution and turn the Smithsonian into a homeless shelter, oh wait we won’t need it because owning your own house is a civil right.

Ok I went on a rant there, but it does support my message, if Bush is such a horrible person then what does that say about Obama? We are at war in an unauthorized war, you can’t get away from that, the constitution and the war powers act are clear, and the administration is in clear violation of both. So where is the talk of impeachment, remember that one, oh and let’s not forget that we invaded a solvent nation in order to get Bin Laden, now that’s fine with me but if GW would have done it lib’s would be screaming for his head, but not BO, when he does it, it’s fine.

We are losing our country because the loudest voices are winning the argument by shouting us down, so stop, challenge them, demand they tell the truth, and punish the media and the elites in the film industry. How, don’t watch, don’t buy, don’t believe.    

We are in the middle of a revolution in our country, the question is are you going to crotch in the dark with your blinds down and hope for the best, or are you going to do what our forefathers did and stand up and be counted. I say stand because you are not alone, I will stand with you.

Conservatives need to wake up

Have you heard the good news? The president’s approval rating is at a two year high following the killing of OBL, what the hell is wrong with this country, and I don’t mean to lesion the impact of finally  getting that scum sucker, I am also willing to give credit where credit is due, he made the call, he green lighted the operation. Now don’t kid yourself he had no choice, if it ever leaked out that he had a chance and passed on it, he would be through, but again he made the call, and the right one in my opinion.

But for hells sake we are still paying four dollars a gallon for gas, inflation is running rampant and the deficit is at 1.6 Trillion dollars. We are talking now about raising the debt ceiling so we can increase that number. Do you not realize that when that happens we will be borrowing, and yes I said borrowing, because we do not have the money, three hundred and fifty million a day to pay the interest.

But hey he reduced taxes for 95% of Americans, however the last time I checked 47% of this country has zero tax liability, meaning they don’t pay any taxes so how do you give someone that does not pay taxes a tax break?

Yesterday while giving a speech in El Paso Texas he told those present that conservatives need to move on from the fence issue because it is now all but complete, (I am paraphrasing here) really, so why is Texas and Arizona starting a campaign to raise private funds to complete the fence project that the federal government canceled, wow, are they stupid or what, cant the see the fence they have, oh wait, maybe it is a stealth fence and cannot be seen by the naked eye. If you are not offended by the blatant hypocrisy of this president then you need to get out more.  

Oh yea and speaking of civil discourse he mocked the republican party by saying they will not be satisfied until there is a mote filled with alligators,  not that I am opposed to that if it works. Is this the guy who was going to change how Washington works, the great unite’r, the most transparent government in history, and the fix all for the economy, so out of all those promises how many has he kept, oh I don’t know none.

Here is the latest thing; Mrs. Obama is sponsoring a poetry day at the white house, and who is on the list, some clown name “Common” or some silly ass name like that, who in his so called art calls for the killing of cop’s and the murder of former president Bush. Oh yea that is one way to bring the country together.

The fact of the matter is this, the president and first lady don’t care about governing this nation, they are too busy being rock stars, and what happened to improving our standing in the world community, yea that one’s a bust too.

Here is my question to you. when are we going to stand up for our country, how much longer are we conservatives going to sit on the side lines and just let liberals shout us down, we are the majority in this country and yet we allow our country to fail in the name of political correctness. If you want to secure the border you are a resist, if you wanted the president of the United States to release his birth certificate then you are a racist. It’s enough, and it is time to get involved, the revolution is coming so stand up, I will stand with you.                  

Revolution; dare I say it.

This will be the start of a new blog setting for me, why? Well because maybe I have spent way too much time rambling and not enough time getting to the meat of my feelings.

So let’s get started shall we. It began like this, last weekend me, my wife and some friends were at the local racetrack just hanging, this drunk behind us starts getting really out of control, my buddy tried to talk to him, I tried to talk to him, but he was not having any of it, he continued to be loud and vulgar attempting to intimidate everyone around him. I took it as long as I could and then calmly got up and stepped in front of him. Yea ok that was bull, I got up and got in his face and said ok a—hole if you want to go then let’s go, at which time he decided to sit down and be quiet, well at least till latter on when he was safe in his car and driving away, he lowered his window about six inches and flipped me off.

A few days later I was watching the news and got upset, I can’t even remember about what, but I do remember my wife saying “honey you have a lot of rage in you”. Now when she said it I got angry, see a pattern here? I told her she is mistaking passion with rage, that’s when she reminded me of the race track incident, and I had to admit I could have controlled my anger a little better. So where am I going with all this, funny thing I don’t know, I do know this, I am sick and tired of the liberal PC world we now find ourselves in,  I am sick and tired of listing to liberals talk about how great this president is, and how bad Bush was, I mean what has he done different , Bush started the prescription drug subsidy, nimrod took over health care, Bush grew the Government, Obama grew it more, Bush led us in to two wars (not giving an endorsement either way, just stating a fact ) Obama took us into war in Libya, then invaded Pakistani. Again just stating a fact, Bush’s lack of oversight helped create the economy we have now, Obama had to one up him there too and really tank it. So what is it that the lib’s love so much about this guy?

So yea I have some pent up rage in me, but it’s not my fault, it was my government that sent me to war to see the awful thing s I saw (that parts true)  so I am a victim, I need help, yea, yea, what I need is for gas prices to go down so I can pull my camping trailer somewhere nice, what is that your saying lib’s, there are people in this country that can’t afford  a 29 foot camper with all the luxuries, news flash, I don’t care, I served my country for twenty years, I am now 50 or will be this year, and I work full time as does my wife, so we can enjoy life now and then, but what about the poor and oppressed in this country, oh give me a break would you, do something with your life I did, and now you want mine, well you can’t have it, I don’t know you and I don’t owe you.

So what do we need in this country, you guessed it, we need a middle class, conservative revolution. Yup that’s right I am calling for revolution, and why not the Lib’s do it all the time, La Raze calls for the return of California, Arizona and Texas to Mexico, by force if necessary, hey news flash morons it’s ours because we took it and we aint giving it back. The Black Panthers are calling for revolution for the sake of the oppressed, and then what BP’s once you get your revolution then what, well then all the white people become oppressed, but they deserved it right? Bunch of Racist Morons, yea I said it black people are racist, not all of them but a majority are, come on stop with the PC crap and say it out loud.

That is the revolution I am calling for, say it out loud, get off the side lines, next time someone says we should honor Muslim traditions tell them to bite you on the, well you know.

Just look how the Tea party supports are vilified, while Code Pink demonstrators call for the murder or enslavement of blacks. But do they get any criticism in the media, hell no, they are just members of the family that strayed; they just need a stern talking too because they didn’t mean what they said, HEY! They called for the hanging of Justice Thomas, and if not that said he should be returned to the fields, are you kidding me, and we are talking about the Tea Party.

Oh yea and one other thing, I am so sick and tired of people telling me to be careful not offend muslin nations or their people, you know what we are the US of A we don’t cower we never have. Hey you guys over there, “Mohammad was a drag queen who laid with naked with goats, and boy goats at that, I live in Utah, I go everywhere armed, so come get me you bunch of A-holes. “Whew” I don’t know about you but I feel better getting that off my chest.    

So there it is; it is time for a revolution, a peaceful one if possible, and if not I will stand with you……..    

God, Guns and Pick Up Trucks, you damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make history or Repeat it?

I have a question; could someone out there tell me what is going on in Libya. Because I don’t know, is it not news, are people not engaged in conflict over there, why is it not the lead story on the news every night???? The hypocrisy of the liberal media is without boundaries, during the last administration reporters were salivating over every opportunity to describe how bad the war was going, how no WMD was found, how all these innocent civilians were killed by our bombs, how we didn’t have an exit strategy, I could go on and on and on, but I think you get it.
Now we can debate the logic of going into Iraqi and Afghanistan and I think that’s fair, personally I supported the decision, but you have a right to your own opinion.
Here is what you can’t debate; whether or not it was legal, when then President Bush followed the Constitution and pled his case to Congress, and Congress gave their blessing, and yes that includes Pelosi, Reed and the rest of that hypocritical crowd, so he is not a war criminal, that argument holds no water, again you can debate the right and wrong of it but not the legality. Now let’s fast forward to now, Mr. Obama to this date has still not appeared before Congress to my knowledge, so is this war legal, I say no, at least not according to the U.S. Constitution. But why would they let a little thing like the laws of our nation stand in their way, I mean they never have before.
Yes, yes I know we are not at war, we are supporting the UN and NATO defending a no fly zone, which would explain why we are bombing infantry and armored columns on the ground, you can kid yourself if you want to, but Mr. Obama has taken us to war and that’s a fact.
And where is the media on this, silent, could that be because when the man they have been protecting all this time is the one guilty of illegally taking us to war, could you imagine what would happen if Bush was still President, he would be crucified.
This is just more evidence of how the media is not trying to report the news but they are trying to fundamentally change our country as we know it. Yes boy’s and girl’s they have taken sides, it is no longer about giving the story to the American people, who have a right to know, it is about feeding an agenda and giving the poor uneducated, average citizen what he needs to have so he comes, only to the right conclusion, not to be confused with giving the facts so a well informed public can decided for itself.
If you think about it, it’s almost like we are not smart enough to hear the truth and come to a decision on our own, well not kind of it is exactly like that, and if you are not insulted you should be.
How many people have died in Libya since the bombing campaign started? How many noncombatants got caught up in, and killed by the fighting? Had this been Bush’s Iraq we would have the answers to that how come we don’t have them now.
In 1939 the fascist party in Germany; after years of information propaganda, emerged as the Nazi Party, they convinced the world that they just wanted to return Germany to the once great nation it was and had a right to extend its borders back to where they were when it was the Prussian Nation, so all of Europe and the world stood by as they pushed into Poland, and the Netherlands. After all it was a European problem. By the time the world figured it out, it was almost too late. Countries were in- slaved and some ten million people were marched to their death.
A very wise man by the name of George Santayana once said; those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them. ...you see here is the secret that no one wants to tell you, there is only one truth, there is no grey area, no maybe his truth is not your truth, I actually heard that one used in a debate, “maybe your truth is not his truth so the conclusion is not the same” can you believe it. Look the truth is this, it is what it is and it stands on its own, that’s it.
I don’t want to sound like a dooms day or the end is near kind of guy; but the truth is we a closer than most of us know, we have to start making the hard choices and get this nation of ours back on course, do you really think that a year a ago countries like Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and others would have predicted what is going on there now…. If I had to guess I would say no. what makes it so hard to believe that it could not happen here?
Bottom line; I will not march quietly into the chamber, I will not cower in the dark and pretend I do not see what is going on all around me, and I will not stand by and allow the constitution to be trampled on by power hungry self serving politicians, I will make noise, I will be heard, I will tell the truth to all that will listen, I will not be fooled by lies and half truths. Because I am an American and we are the greatest nation in the history of the world. We should act like it……

Liberal Hypocrisy

Little known fact, my official retirement date from the Army is September 1, 2001. Ten days latter scum bag Muslim Extremists attacked our country and a lot of my friends went to war because of it, not all returned. I tried to go back into the Army but once your retirement is final there is no going back. My desire to return was not because I like war (I have been to war, I have no illusions about it) but because I love my country, and more important, I loved my brothers who were about to go back and felt my place was with them. What does this have to do with the title, nothing, I just wanted to give you some perspective on where I am coming from, so let’s get to it shall we. In 2001 or country was attacked, we all know that or should, our president at the time took his case to congress, they had all the same documentation that the president had and came to the same conclusion, Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and presented a clear and present danger to the US of A. Most of them voted for war. That includes Pelosi, Reed, Biden, and the late king of hypocrisy Kennedy, and when the war became unpopular the liberal media crucified President Bush. We also heard things like before I voted for it I voted against it, or we assumed he had an exit strategy. I can tell you what an exit strategy is win the damn thing then walk away with your head held high. We have now “invaded” another country, Libya for those of you who do not watch the news. And no permission was given by the congress. Ok civics lesson, according the constitution of the United States of America, (that’s us) Congress is a separate but co-equal branch of government and only congress can authorize the war powers act, but this president did not go to congress, he went to the UN, France, and the Arab League of Nations. But wait I don’t remember seeing any of those names printed in the Constitution, so why isn’t the press all over this, well hell read the title. During the height of the Iraq war when we were paying $4.00 dollars a gallon for gas the liberal media was calling for the head of then President Bush, “he is in bed with the oil companies they all shouted”, “we have to become independent of foreign oil”. Well here we are again, only now the current president says “go green” no more foreign oil, we need wind, solar, and hell who knows what else, oh I know, we can hook our power up to tread mills, out in our organic gardens (that one’s for you Michele) and we could run on it for part of the day to charge batteries that will provide power while we harvest our organic supper. Well if that is who he is then fine, but then tell my why he just offered to help set up drilling off the coast of Brazil, can’t be, you say, oh yea I say. So here is where he stands, he shuts down production in the US, pays for it in Brazil, then tells us we need independence from foreign oil. Do you know in which country the largest deposits of crude oil and natural gas can be found? Well if you said the US then bingo. So again where is the liberal media on this one, well you know. The fact is everything this clown does he gets a pass on, because he is the one they chose to lead us into the Promised Land, and they can’t admit they made a mistake, because to do that would require them to acknowledge that Bush was not as bad as they made him out to be. I am not going to sit here and tell you I have a problem with the invasion of Libya; yes dear readers no matter how they spin it, or whether or not they put boots on the ground, Libya is a solvent nation and we and the other members of the coalition invaded it. But as I stated I am ok with that, my problem is this, don’t serve me hotdogs and try to convince me I am eating steak, just tell me what you are doing, I know what you are thinking what the heck is Rick Rambling on about now (shameless plug for my blog name). OK I will break it down, we “say” we went in to establish a no fly zone to prevent the slaughter of Libyan people by the national air force, then why are we bombing Infantry and Armor units. Here are the facts when crazy guy Kaddafi used his air force he was pounding back the rebel forces, now the rebel’s are using the coalition air power to lead the fight and they are pounding back the Libyan army, we are using them as our boots on the ground. Again I am ok with that, but just say that, tell the truth and let the voters decide, take a stand. One more thing, we know that per-capita Libya sent more people to kill Americans in Iraq than any other country in the Middle East, so shouldn’t we at least be sure we are supporting a rebellion that may be of benefit to us, I mean are we protecting people that have murdered American heroes? One last thought; by our illustrious presidents reasoning on why we are in Libya are we also going into Syria, and what about Darfur, they have been eradicating Christians there for years and we do nothing about it and the press never mentions it; hypocrisy, I say yes. Oh yea, could someone ask Obocrsy when we are going to Yemen, I almost forgot that one.
