A Voice To Monitor

I have been having some at times lively discussions with both Democrats and Republicans and have been trying to monitor those voices who I think might have viable ideas for change. Most of the people I have heard just spout off that they want change, but cannot come up with any type of solution. I will be monitoring the thoughts of Chuck Lasker as I too try to find ways to give America back to the people.

I suppose you could say that I too am just "spouting off" that I want change, but I want to also learn how to become an active, educated participant in the process.

Understanding The Undecided

It's always like walking through a mine field when discussing politics in social settings. I have really been wanting to understand what an undecided voter is thinking, so I tread carefully in recent conversations to try and gain a little insight. The group I spoke with were older than I am, so they also had my due respect. It seemed to be a consensus that it wasn't that one candidate was worse than the other, they just didn't like either choice. They told me that they would just rather not vote because they didn't want to be part of choosing.

In theory, I agree with them. I do not like either candidate but I don't want to waste my vote or not vote. But I also know the problems are not just with the presidential candidates, but are also with the congressional candidates - the career politicians who have lost sight as to what government service is supposed to mean.

I can empathize with the undecideds, it tough. I think I'm just going to vote a straight party ticket, pray and try to work like hell to wake people up so we can start getting REAL change in place during the next four years.

One place we need to reclaim is the education of our children and the education of all Americans - you think Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" is just entertainment? Read John Stossel's - A Duty Not To Vote.

Biden Angered By Tough Questions

Enter the "damage control" - worst one I heard was this reporter was spoon fed her questions. Good grief! What have I been saying and before she asked these questions? These are answers that ALL Americans need to hear before it's too late.


Since YouTube pulled the video I linked to, here's the FoxNews version (and yes YouTube was in it right to pull it) Here a link to WFTV's copyrighted version:

I Don't Want To Waste A Vote

I find that I'm not happy with either choice of Presidential candidate this election. Everyone wants change, so do I, but I don't want to live in a socialist country. If I wanted to live in a socialist country, I'd move to France. I believe that people who are voting for Obama are enamored with his pretty face and pretty talk. Obama scares me because no one is listening to what he is saying or has said. I'm not real thrilled with McCain either, I do like Sarah Palin and I think she really could shake up the good ole boy network.

Everyday I watch our personal freedoms get torn away from us. Our education system is in the toilet because the government has it's hands all over it. Our interstates are awful, where is all that tax money I am paying going? I enjoy listening to talk radio, the station I listen to is open about their Christian values. I fear they will be taken off the air. I used to enjoy CNN, I started watching it when it first came on the air, but their political bias got as bad as the big three networks. BUT, I defend their right to their free speech and dont want that taken away from them.

I have been accused of not caring about the less fortunate or those who are down on their luck. How dare you? You have not walked in my shoes, you don't know where I have come from to get here. I have been one of those "less fortunate" and through hard work and tenacity I have carved out a very tiny portion of the "American Dream". I don't have the whole pie, just a small piece of it, but I worked hard for it. Now I stand here and wonder why the bailouts? I suppose I could ask, where is my bailout?

So where does this leave me when it comes time to cast my ballot? If I vote for a third party candidate, it's almost like a vote for Obama or a wasted vote. I hate the term, lesser of two evils but that's where I'm at. I don't think the Libertarian Party has enough steam yet. Perhaps during the next four years Americans who still believe in the American Dream, the Constitution, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness will wake up, rise up and take this country.

The beauty of the electronic media, I'll have archives of my thoughts. So in the years to come, let's look back and see how far off the mark I am.

'Comrade Sam'

I'm glad FoxNews made this video available. Listen up America!

Think You Can Do It Better?

I feel like I'm talking to a know-it-all teenager who thinks they are smarter. Okay, you are so smart, you do it. I'm tired of banging my head up against a wall trying to explain this to you. You've never lived outside of the US like I have. You have never experienced socialized medicine like I have. (Sidebar note here, my own daughter also has been a victim of socialized medicine like I have been.)

You want change, well you sure are going to get it. The only problem is, I can't escape the mistakes you are about to make. You are too inexperienced to understand how to implement true change. You are just a sheep following the herd. Your friends are jumping off the bridge, so you will too. You want someone else to do it for you because you have spent too many years having someone else do it for you. You want a welfare state, you want wealth without having to work for it.

I'm screaming into the wind, but I will NOT vote for Obama.

November 4th Scares Me

The closer we get to election day the more scared I get. The hand basket is now on a fast track to hell. Americans have totally forgotten where they have come from. Social Security was never meant to be permanent, it was a temporary fix. Career politicians were not part of their vision.

History is just not being taught, teachers are too busy teaching tests to make sure their schools continue to receive FEDERAL funding. It's time to take a very close look at the Manifesto of the Communist Party to see how close we are to becoming a communist country.

When I was reviewing Karl Marx's work the first thing that crossed my mind is that the people who want all this government support probably wouldn't even get past the word "Bourgeois(ie)". I can hear a collective "what does that mean?" Bourgeoisie are capitalist, the people who hire people. Oh wait, Americans don't want to be hired, they want the government to take care of them from the womb to the tomb.

I digress, look at item (plank) 10 - "Free education for all children in public schools" - we have that already. In my less than humble opinion, the No Child Left Behind act did nothing but force teachers to dumb down an education to the lowest common denominator. We have rapidly become stupid and lazy. Blaming others for our own shortcomings.

Let's take look at item (plank) 2 - "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax" - do I even need to explain that? What did Obama say? We need to spread the wealth? The death tax is bringing us closer and closer to item (plank) 3 - "Abolition of all rights of inheritance". Look at the family farms that are being destroyed by this.

Here's one to watch for if Obama gets elected item (plank) 6 - "Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State." Say goodbye to FoxNews and talk radio. the government already has it's hands in our transportation system.

Now if you have been living under a rock and haven't heard about the government bailout of the banks, go get caught up on that news flash and then go look at item (plank) 5 - "Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly" Hello, can anybody hear me?

I could go on and on, but do you see the path this country is taking? I feel like I'm screaming into a hurricane and no one hears my cries.

"Spread The Wealth"

Here it is folks, straight form te socialist's mouth:



Please tell me you don't want to vote for this!

Let The Slide Begin!

First California, now Boston want to be bailed out. Get the hell out of my pockets.

Calif. Leaders Hope Bailout Loosens Credit Market


Mass. Asks About Federal Loan Amid Market Worries

The Slippery Slope of Socialism

Hang on folks here it comes. Everybody wants the government to wipe their butt, well you're going to get your wish.
