It’s one thing to propose true reform of the part(s) that are broken within our Health Care system. It is quite another to propose even more spending and a total wipe out of all that is good with the system we have, in trade for more cost (Just ask the CBO), less quality care and less choice.

Of course those that are pushing this so-called reform claim that there will be more choice, lower costs and that everyone can keep their current insurance if they are happy with it.
I wave the bullshit flag.

With the current systems limited number of medical professionals already stretched thin, how will they absorb more people? How much time, will each patient merit and who will decide that? (Maybe that’s what one of those czars are for?)
Putting a bigger burden on an already fragile medicare/medicaid system that is at it’s limits is idiotic. Not to mention chock full of fraud. Fraud that never gets taken care of so costs can be reduced, I might add. With more people ‘on the dole’ what the hell do they think will happen then? Lower costs and less fraud? I don’t think so. With the way Govt. runs things (i.e. The Postal System, Social Security) it’s sure to be one giant cluster-fuck of debt, more fraud and even more people being denied care because the system just can’t carry the financial burden of caring for so many people.

As for people being able to keep their own insurance..yeah right…We live in a profit driven (for now anyhow) society, and when business owners count pennies, they’ll find in most cases paying that so-called ‘penalty’ for not providing health insurance to their employess is cheaper than providing it, so all those folks will be forced into the public system, whether they like it or not.
It may be just business, looking out for one’s bottom line and a bigger profit, but it’s down right disgraceful. You can’t claim that you like your employees, if you throw them under the bus in that way. The Govt. knows this too, which is why (In my humble opinion) they set the penalty fine so low, as to induce employers to drop their currently provided coverage, thus giving the Govt even more control and the ability to claim high numbers of people flocking to their newly “reformed” system. What wonderful news spin that will be!

But if you’re like me and many others who do not like this “reform” being pushed up our asses and have had the courage (and the Constitutional Right) to voice your opposition, you are now called “astroturf, politcal terrorists and un-American” by some politicians and even by some so-called journalists. It seems those politicians have forgotten they are paid to serve us, We The People. They are not paid to call us names or lamblast us for speaking our minds. They work for us, damnit! They also might start reading the damn bills before they vote them into law. So much for ‘Mr. Change’ and his Administrations transparency & time given to read the bills, etc.

It is all a bunch of crap. He’s no different than any other megalomaniacal leader. He seems to believe his words are truth just by them coming out of his mouth. (and when his ass is caught in a lie, the claim is just that “he misspoke”-BULLSHIT & LIES!)
Congress seems to think that we the people are to cluseless to know what’s best for us and shouldn’t think too much for ourselves.

It’s senseless to totally scrap the whole system when only parts of it need fixed.
It’s not “broken”, like is claimed. Those pushing this “reform” merely want more control of the people and how they live.

Those that know this down deep within their guts are those that are speaking out. Those that don’t, or just blindly follow the leader and his congressional minions will surely be the last to know that they’ve been lied to. That is, if they ever take their blinders off at all.

For those folks that want to send me comments that I am a racist, or I fear change and that is why I do not like the proposed reform, you are flat out wrong.
I Do Not think we need a total reform of the health care system. I do not want someone on some panel, or congress or a Czar to make my medical choices for me. What happens to my body is up to me. It’s my choice. (Now where are all those pro-choice people…)

To those screaming that “health care is a right”…You are wrong. It’s not a right, nor is having your own home for that matter. Read the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights for yourself if you don’t believe me. Things in life are earned.
Sometimes in life, no matter what you do or how well you do it, you end up getting the shit end of the stick compared to someone elses lot in life. That doesn’t make life unjust or unfair. It’s just life. Stop wanting “Big Brother” to take care of your every damn need, and for the Govt. to “level the playing field”. Life is tough, get the fuck used to it .

Authors note: The heath care reform talk is now being called insurance reform, to demonize yet another big business in hopes that the people will blindly follow if there is someone to rally against.

Use your right to speak freely…If you don’t speak up for yourself, who will?

With the election of Obama the country is going to hell faster than ever.
We’re on the fast-track to a Socialistic government fueled by his (and his cronies) ego and idealogy of wealth redistribution.
(In economics, redistribution is the transfer of income, wealth or property from some individuals to others.
One premise of redistribution is that money should be distributed to benefit the poorer members of society, and that the rich have an obligation to assist the poor. Thus, money should be redistributed from the rich to the poor, creating a more financially egalitarian society
)

It doesn’t matter to them that this country was founded on Captialism. Principles of ‘you work hard you do your best and you make something of yourself’. Not on a welfare system of ‘you work hard we’ll take the money you earned and give it to those who refuse to get off their asses and earn it for themselves’. He “claimed” to be different, to want change in Washington, but anyone with an I.Q. over 2 can see he’s the same old Tax and Spend Democrat-only worse as he has a cult-like following.

The administration is also spending your grandchildrens money even before it’s been made. It’s not enough to spend your money, but as he only cares about furthering his socialistic agenda, he’s putting all the money he can get congress to give him, into his efforts. His recent $3.5 trillion budget proposal is a great example. He rolls back tax breaks, claiming that only the richest of the rich will pay more taxes, and that 95% of Americans will get a tax break. He Lies. He’s full of complete and utter bullshit.

His tax break equals about $13.00 a week for the average working stiff. Which when coupled with just his Cap Plan on energy will more than erase that ‘tax break’. Those companies that he and his administration are targeting for higher taxes aren’t just going to say “Thank you, Mr. President.” and eat those higher costs. They’re going to pass them on down to you and me via product price increases and rising electric & gas costs. If you doubt this you are a retard and need a helmet.

Also in his budget, a 10-year, $634 billion reserve fund to help pay for the president’s proposed healthcare reforms — much of it paid for by raising taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year. Which includes small business. Small business that provide most of the jobs in the country. Guess what’s gonna happen to a lot of those jobs when they have to pay higher taxes because they’re “Rich” according to the Obama Administration?

It’s not going to be add more employees. There will be job cuts. Economic growth will slow to a crawl if not stop altogether. Plus there aren’t a lot of details on this “heathcare system” other than it’s going to be modeled after European and Canadian systems which do not work as planned. Folks who need care will get care based on their age and how much the care costs. If you’re too old, forget about being in the front of the line. Because you’re not paying a lot of taxes (if any) so that makes your value lower thus your need for health care, lower on the list of those in line for it.

Those are just a few of the “Highlights” in that trillion dollar budget proposal. ( I didn’t even touch on the back-dooring of the “Fairness Doctrine”, his wanting to further fuck up Medicare or his wanting to throw good money after bad at the nations education system. Nor did I mention the nationalization of banks.)

Don’t you feel the change already? Isn’t your life better now that the “Messiah” has come? If not, Wait…it’ll only get worse.

So do what you can now. Stock pile your food, buy your guns and ammo, and vote in 2010 to get some of those (who have re-election bids) tax and spend idiot Dems (and those GOP members going along for the ride on earmarks) right the hell out of office.

The Definition of Socialism:

From Dictionary.com:
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

From Merriam-Webster:
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Why do some males think just because they slosh out a wad of sperm, that particular action makes them a Father or a Dad?

If you’ve read any of my previous posts you know a bit of the medical, drug and alcohol issues my sister went through last year. She is doing better if you ask certain people at certain times, while at others, I hear she’s not doing so well and needs Supplemental Social Security for her disability (Note: she went through testing last month by SS doctors and they deemed her able to work.)

I also have been told she “needs a caregiver”, to help her out. Personally, I feel it’s a racket to make a cash cow out of my sister and to keep her and her daughter obligated and Dependant on the individuals she is currently living with. I do not trust them. The female of the two, tells me one thing, while telling others another and she talk shit on me ALL THE DAMN TIME.

For example, How I don’t really care for my sister, that I just wanted to keep her a prisoner in a home, How I “Finally” got information to her, the female (on behalf of my sister and her sons) so my sister could go after the alleged Sperm Donor, for years of back child support.
So you may get an inkling as to why I do not trust those people. They cry a poor mouth on one hand, but insist they’ve room for my sister and her daughter. Yet to some they complain and relay instances where my sister is supposedly not doing a good job of caring for her daughter. If they ever try and remove my sister’s daughter from her citing my sister’s inability to care for her, they’ll have a huge fight on their hands, as THEY ARE NOT FAMILY OR BLOOD, and they have no legal say or rights to shit!!

The Bad Penny/The alleged Sperm Donor last saw his youngest son (by my sister) when he was around 8 months old. That was back in 1995. He now all the sudden wants to be “Daddy” and see “His boys” and visit with them or have them go visit him. Not a good idea at all. The older of the two boys, seems to want to see him, but in my opinion what he wants is to finally have a father in his life.

This Male is no Father. much less a man nor a good example for anyone to pattern themselves after. He’s abused women (my sister being one of them), he’s stolen property from others, he’s damaged auto’s as a revenge tactic (acid on windshields and windows), had roosters for cock fighting, done hard narcotics, (coke and meth just to name a couple.) He also drinks to excess.

He’s a mean, distasteful piece of crap of a male. I’ve no doubt my nephews aren’t the only children he’s not paying for. He’d like folks to think he’s a mans man and gruff in the Tim -the -Tool-Man sort of way but he is not. He’s not been there, nor paid for his children so why should he reap the rewards of knowing them now? Let’s see you pony up some of your settlement money and PAY your back child support to start with, ya dead beat. Let’s see you make a bona fide effort to reconnect with your kids, like sending them birthday money when you say you’re going to, but don’t. All you’ve given those kids are hang-ups, and an abusive past they’re slowly recovering from.

For those who think I’m talking out my ass, I still have the message he left on our answering machine with threats against the family on it. Some stand up “Man”, isn’t he?

So if you’re thinking or if you’ve knocked some girl up, either be a real dad and own up to your responsibilities or stay the fuck out of their lives all together.

If you’re one of those men who has been a Real Father & Dad and been responsible, good on ya.

OK, so I couldn’t rub out an appropriate post title-so sue me.

I know it’s been awhile since I posted but contrary to popular belief, I do have a life.

Of course it’d be a lot less stressful without family crap always popping up or this election years political circus we see play out online, in the papers and n the tube.

It’s all so “High School” popularity contest like. One says this about the other, the other counters with some other such bullshit. The contest that is the most unsettling, is the Democratic one. First contestant is Obama, not only does he not have the experience to run the country, he says little about his policies, except he wants to “raise taxes on the wealthy and pay for health care for “everyone”. His figures Do Not support that. His taxes would start with those earning $31,000 a year. That is NOT wealthy. Whomever is his financial advisor needs to be smacked, if they’ve come up with this and smacked even harder if Obama has and they let it go as an ok policy. The man has No Clue what wealthy is, obviously.

Then you have his minister, Rev. Wright, who not only hates America-that’s the place giving him the freedom to spew forth his hate and lies- but he also believes we killed our own on 9-11, our Govt. started AIDS to kill the black people, and Jews are bad. Obama sat in this man, his “Spiritual Advisors” pews for 20 years. Yes I said 20 YEARS, yet he says at first he never heard such talk, then he said he did hear a bit, then he said he didn’t agree with some of it (note he said some, so he must agree with some of it as well, logic dictates.) He also said he would not abandon his pastor nor would he have left the church.
Then, this week he pops on the View, and says yeah I would have left the church! Talk about a flip-flopping politician. He has more stories than Hogan has goats. It was also quite telling as to his (lack) of character that he threw his parents under the bus, so to speak as well as calling his white grandmother a racist at first, then rewording that to “Typical White Person”, as that’s how we’re ‘bred’. WTF??? I was bred to be a Typical White Person?

If it was some white bread minister or white politician saying all this racially biased bullshit they’d be hung out to dry in the press and everywhere else. But he’s the mainstream media’s poster child of sorts and they want him to be elected for their own interests and greed so they say little or slant it to make him look better. Then they crucify Hillary, for her lie/misquote/fuck-up on her Bosnia trip. Sure she screwed the pooch on that, and I’m no fan of hers, let me tell you, but the unfair slant and coverage they’re giving Obama as far as free passes when he’s clearly not what he promotes himself to be is crap. While I DO NOT agree with Hillary’s policy’s, her politics, or think she’d be a good Commander in Chief, at least she has been mostly vetted. Because the Devil you know…….

Then we have McCain for the Republican party. I didn’t agree one iota with that immigration bill him and Kennedy tried to push through. That was a pile of crap bill. We need to seal up our borders and enforce the immigration laws and arrest and deport those here illegally. If you want to be our countryman, do it LEGALLY! Or get the fuck out.

I do agree with him on a lot of the security issues as well as the economic issues and policy proposals, and I like him do not think we should bail out consumers every time they make bad financial choices, i.e., the mortgage foreclosures. No one put a gun to their heads and forced them to sign a contract that called for funds beyond their means? No one made them go into the offices to buy a home or refinance what they were paying on. Why should the rest of the country who are paying there bills without looming foreclosures (about 95%, BTW) have to foot the bill for bad money management?
Doesn’t seem fair to those living within their means, now does it?

Just like the gas prices. They’re not fair either. There is no reason for gas or diesel to be as high as it is other than the pure greed of the oil companies. The Govt. needs to stop All subsidies going to the oil companies Unless their prices at the pump are $2.00 or lower. No ifs ands or buts. And fucking don’t tell me that it’s because of the White house, Gas crisis in the 70’s was shitty too, and the one in the White House was a Democrat. Who, should have insisted on alternative fuel THEN, as Brazil did and we’d not have this bullshit now.
Of course any President could have done so since then, but hasn’t. If those who tout the Clinton era as “Prosperous” and “forward thinking” think they’re so great, tell me why Mr. false claims of Global Warming Gore or Mr. Blow Me Monica-but learn to swallow, Clinton didn’t do something then.

In any case, those oil companies should be ashamed of the ass raping they’re giving the American public that Made Them All RICH. But they won’t and don’t. They’re just concerned with profits and adding to their over flowing coffers. There should also be more employer incentives to carpool and lanes for ONLY car pooling commuters. Not mom and one kid in a baby seat, that should be a separate car pool lane entirely.
Folks should also know what car pooling and shared commuting is. It’s not one person paying for all the gas. It should be an equal share of costs. Because We ALL have to pay insurance and car maintenance costs. Sure you should pay a bit less in gas if it’s your particular car that being driven as the commuter, but you should pay at LEAST TWO DAYS a week. No LESS. If not, then you are clearly taking advantage of the situation, and of others good nature.

Of course you are no better if you’re the type to ride in a group and some how always forget your wallet at home or are always a few dollars short and will ‘catch it next time’. You are a deadbeat. Get your cheap ass to the bank ATM and get money out to pay for gas. Get off the computer, cancel your Wow account if you have to, if you’re in such a financial bind and Pay Your Share Of GAS!! Why is it some folks seem to have such as distorted view on fairness and on being an adult? Why is it folks try to take advantage of others and it doesn’t seem to bother them one iota? As if they have no morals or conscience about how they should or are treating others.
It’s disgraceful, and annoying…

Just like those folks who say they’ll do something, tend to issues at hand or give ya a ring back and don’t-For no good reason. If you can do whatever, that’s great, then we’ll hear from ya. If not, Don’t say you will.
I know shit happens, stuff comes up, etc. etc., but when it’s almost every time you say you’ll do something/tend to an issue/calls someone back, taking you at your word goes out the fucking window.
I mean, those who have five kids have reason to miss calls or be tardy, but hell, even they make the effort amongst all that chaos. So what the fuck is your excuse?
Where the hell did good manners, and treating others ‘by the golden rule’, go? Do people really get more stupid and rude on a daily basis? Did your mama not teach you to treat others as you would want them to treat you? Or did you go to the school of “Let’s walk all over so-and-so, use them up till I’m done with them and move on to the next one” or major in ” If it fits into my schedule and works for me then I’ll keep my word.”

As for the family issues and dramas that seem to be forever unfolding;

My sister, ’supposedly’ is seeing a minister about her drug and booze addictions and trying to get SSI benefits for her “disability”. She’s not qualified for that however. She still has yer second to the youngest child, her only daughter living in the home where she lives with her. If that child doesn’t need years of mental health help when she’s older it will be a sheer miracle. I am looked upon and labeled by my ‘dear’ sister as the devil incarnate, for trying my damnedest (even with that effort putting my own health on the back burner, mind you.) to make sure she had the medical and mental care she needed and demanding that she get it and be moved closer to family who could see her on a weekly if not almost daily basis. I, according to her and her cronies, “tried to keep her prisoner”, “tried to control her life”.

In her mind, She wasn’t in need of medical and mental care because she was doing Meth and Boozing it up as though Prohibition was going to be reinstated the next day, everyday, that led to her other medical conditions coming to a head that could have easily ended her life. No, apparently in her eyes only those who also lie like rugs and deceive others who claim to be “Christians” but are really hypocrites, are trying to help her genuinely. No, they’re not after custody of the one remaining child in my sisters care while they think they are her “grandparents” reincarnated or something.

At times, all this shit with my sister’s little dramas infuriates me. While at others it cuts me to the core. It shouldn’t I know, or so I’ve been told. But it does. I am, by my nature one of those individuals who try their best to help their families and friends through whatever crisis or issue(s) are at hand, even to my own detriment. I guess you could label me one of those “Fixer people”, if you keep up on all that physcobabble stuff. (Note: my sister is supposed to be visiting my brother with 3 of her spawn, kids this weekend. when I hear how that went I’ll post anew.)

Then there’s my bro and his GF and child issues….the Reader’s Digest version is that her mama and younger sister like to ’stir the pot’ and she for the most part goes along with their bulls hit till it bites her in the ass and affects her mentally and emotionally, to some extent. She needs to grow a back bone and tell her mother and sister to butt out or fuck the hell off altogether. She’s either in a relationship with my brother, or in one fucked up one with her mom, sister and children , with my brother thrown in for sex and to take the trash out. I hope he follows through and gets a custody plan in writing so she can never keep him away from his son just cause she’s angry with him. That’s not right, nor is it fair or justifiable. It’s flat out wrong and if you’re a woman who does that, when your child is NOT in harms way, you’re being a Cunt, to say the least.

I know of too many guys, who have been screwed over by ex GF’s or wives and their children used as pawns in their warped little games. and even though statistically over 70% of all divorces are initiated by Women, the guy, even if he has done no wrong towards the child (i.e. physical, mental abuse or neglect) gets a royal ass screwing in the court system and gets that label as dead beat dad. Those woman or those who support that view of “all men and penis’ ARE evil” should Never get equal pay or be deemed equal if They can’t treat men with the same fairness they want and screech for.
And no, I’m not “beaten down” or into submission by a man to see from his warped point of view, I am quite independent and think if you want fair and equal treatment if should be that way in ALL Areas. Not just what’s convenient for the Fem-Nazi mentality. Woman should also have to do the SAME work and the EXACT same duties to get the exact same pay. In the military, too. If you can’t defend the country as the enlisted Men do, get the fuck out and go bake a damn cake.

As for my other brother, he’s doing well. He’s still the same narcissistic, selfish person he’s been but he works for his toys and earns them. Of course his ego does seem to have taken the place of his prepubesant chubbiness (LOL), but I still love him:) He’s also recently got himself a newer car. It’s a ‘04 foreign car..a snooty, err Mercedes Benz (Why do I hear Ron White in my head??) which is a pretty car if you go for non-American made wheels.

Everett’s New (to him) Ride

Everett's Ride

As for Sperm-Donor and Twatzilla, it’s more of the same..They’re either living the high life, or living the high life needing money from someone to pay some bill that somehow they can’t afford. It’s a good thing they don’t have debtors prison anymore. He’d be up shit creek without a paddle.

Sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth the effort to worry about family. But it’s not in my nature to ignore it completely, least not for long.

So many people suck. So many people need a huge swift kick in their asses. And that’s not even counting Customer Service people, or others in that field who fit the above bill.
But if I start ranting about that and the associated Fraud, I’ll truly have to choke something….

Yet the “ban guns crowd’ is out in full force again after the Virginia Tech shootings. (And for those foreign folks wondering, the campus did not allow firearms on it’s grounds.)

But that evil whacko, didn’t pay attention to rules, and brought them on anyway. So do you people think he’d have followed laws and changed his mind if he could not have purchased them legally? I think not. Those of you who think he would have, you need Your head examined.

Guns do not fire themselves at people. People with ill intent do. It doesn’t take a Mensa member to understand that. If you’re up to no good or wanna commit a crime, you can find a gun using non-legal means. Criminals do it All The Time.

To those mayors jumping on the anti-gun bandwagon, you are pitiful, attention grabbing bloodsuckers. Didn’t hear ya all get together and voice your thoughts till you had a media reason to do so. Using the deaths of those folks in VA, to further your political agenda is flat out wrong. Same goes for the Hollywood crowd flapping their gums.

It’s interesting to hear carpet bovine Rosie O’Donnell on her soapbox, as she uses body guards who carry guns, to protect herself and her family. Does she think she is better than us ‘normal’ folks in that she can have guns for her protection but we’re not worthy?

Screw her, and others like her. What hypocrites.


    My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones.

    The media, (although they’re trying to cover the story) needs to scale back a bit and let them morn with a little more privacy
