We live in a world of instant information. We all remember as that little old lady or man that would sit in their chair listening to the police/fire scanner to know 'what's going on'. We live in a world no different than that now only that information is streamed instantly to your laptop, tablet or smart phone. In this day of instant information we've all become that little old lady or man listening for something bad to happen, with one glaring exception: We get semi filtered information and information that THEY deem important.
Americans getting killed in a foreign land..silence. Miley Cyrus grinding her ass on Robin Thicke...every major news outlet. ObamaCare and it's effects on a majority of Americans...relative silence or tidbits of information that shines ObamaCare in a positive light. The Alan Hernandez investigation...EVERYWHERE. What the hell people? Is Miley's display of sexuality or Hernandez's gangsta dealings really that important? Our government is trying to fundamentally trying to change the way we Americans try to obtain the 'American Dream'. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is turning into: Life, if your healthy you'll be charged with taking care of the people that aren't (or that fake it well enough to be added to the list). Liberty, that the government feels is truly necessary and if that liberty threatens how the government 'governs' us, then it will be subject to taxes, fees, and possibly jail time. This will allow the government to pick who those liberties pertain to (also controls the dissemination of information). The Pursuit of Happiness, as long as you do as the government tells you, then happiness will be yours (or at least their version of happiness)!
A new world order, that's what they strive for. A world without famine or war, where everyone is taken care of. No more haves and have nots, a cohesive collective of individuals without individuality. Sounds freakin' perfect doesn't it? This idea (or ideal depending on your views) is neither 'new' nor 'order'. This has all been done before and failed. There will always be a 'ruling class' that will be in charge and they will feel they deserve more than the normal collective. That's where the system falls apart. It's readily apparent by the number of rich leaders (and I use that term loosely, they wouldn't make a pimple on a real leader's ass) in our government. They are the 'beautiful people' that think they make our country a better place for all.
Watching the news is like a screening of 'Wag the Dog'. I could write the next move by this administration just by following the outline of that movie. Is anyone surprised that the chemical attacks in Syria were confirmed by an 'intercepted phone call'? The problem we are currently having now is that this administration has
found a way to control what information we get. Oh sure, there's avenues
of information that are 'unfriendly' to the administration that is
causing issues like Fox, Drudge and Glenn Beck's The Blaze but they make
all attempts to discredit those by saturating the air waves with
bullshit. There's always the real information available to the general
public through web searches and even government websites, but no one
wants to do their own friggin' home work. The people that want this program to be relevant are spoon feeding us information to cement it's relevancy! Every idiotic move is choreographed to explain away their aggressive constitutional indiscretions. I don't need my government to tell me they need to listen in on my phone calls to be safe. I don't want the government to tell me they'll send a cop to my house in the event of an intruder that means to do myself or my family harm. I don't need the government to tell me where my money will 'do the most good'. I intend to speak out against this 'future' that they have laid out for us.
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

Expectations VS Reality.
Freedom and liberty covers a broad spectrum and has different definitions among Americans depending on his or her views. Freedom and Liberty for the Left could be chaining oneself to a tree so that the tree is protected, running through the streets with their boobs or weenie out as a form of protest, even going as far as fire bombing a Hummer dealership because they are gas guzzlers or picketing in front of a business because the workers don't get double pay or a 'livable wage'. For the Right it could be picketing abortion clinics for right to life, holding rallies against gay marriage, parking their asses at the border to report illegal border crossings even going so far as making theological assertions that they believe we all MUST follow . (All links tested and safe)
I'm here to tell you, your both wrong. Over the last few years, my views about Freedom and Liberty has caused rise to much name calling with me taking the brunt. I've been called divisive, idiot, ignorant, argumentative, racist, a 'troll' and even un-American. Lucky I got thick skin! These people that have called me these names are all about 'change' but they are closed minded to all but their own brand of change and they don't care about the cost to attain that change. I think we should have an open dialog of fact based changes. Respectfully talk about differences and agree to disagree. But first and foremost, WE MUST LISTEN TO EACH OTHER. That's the true measure of respect, listen to another person's views no matter how screwed up it sounds. And those people should not get high and mighty when holes are poked in their version of reality with facts that support a view that differs from their own. Trust me, I've listened to some real brain surgeons and there is no swaying their views, even if you could prove 100% your side.
People are putting more and more expectation on what the government should be and what they should provide. Please allow me to explain what I expect from the government. The government should take care of roads and bridges. Our movement about our great country should not be impeded. No tolls, the government has tax receipts that far outweigh these costs. The government should provide MINIMAL protection. Police should show up when they are called and have the tools to do their job safely. That goes for Fire and Rescue as well. We should have a strong military and that military should not be fighting someone else's war. We need not be supporting the United Nations or any other nations for that matter. Why are 'We The People' subject to taxes that are spent to support another country? Screw 'em, if they want our cash they have to work for it just like we do. That's it in a nutshell.
I'm sure someone will no doubt try to explain to me that it's not that simple but isn't that the point? Shouldn't we have a government that EVERYONE that calls this country home can understand? Not just the politicians and lawyers?
What government shouldn't be doing. They shouldn't be taking care of anyone. They need to get out of the retirement, disability and medical coverage business. Let private business take over. Yes there would be some suffering at first, but look at the suffering they've caused so far. No longer do families take care of their old, they just pawn them off to a nursing home that charges the government (ie: We The People) upwards of $100,000 a year to take care of them. Yes, you read that right $100,000 and it can actually be higher in some states. It's taking more per year to take care of them in their 'golden years' than any of them made as a productive working citizen. I'm sure I'll get called a name out of that assertion. I don't think that the government should be involved in any business that an outside contractor (ie: private business) can perform. Like building roads and bridges, plowing roads, mowing the grass on the sides of the highway or delivering mail. Look at it this way, if the government does a shitty job we have no avenue to fix it immediately. We have to vote out the retards that decided to support the job in order to improve the issue. Wading through tons of RED TAPE. If it was a privateer think about it...you don't do the job, bye bye. Your road doesn't get plowed? Contracts can be written to penalize that company monetarily. Ever see what it takes to get rid of a government employee? Look here.
Which brings me to another thing, education. If private institutions are so bad as they'd have us believe, then why do a majority of politicians place their children in private schools? Why is it that the majority of the upper echelon of our society have private schools in their background? Because if they don't perform up to standards set forth by the consumer, they get fired. If your kid ain't getting to proper attention at public school, well go ahead and complain. Nothing will happen. I'll have to qualify this with a caveat, I quit school at 16yrs old and some years later I found out that I was still placed on the enrollment roster year after year for three more years. I'm guessing that these numbers no doubt cost the government something considering that they pay a per student amount towards funding.
Which again leads me to another thing, money. The politicians are probably the worst people in the United States who should be handling money. These people are not our best and brightest. They are a collection of crooks and scoundrels who have been placed by financial backers that know they will be lucrative for them. They are a financial investment by the rich and powerful. We need to let the bean counters take over. Real accountants whose very mental stability depends on a balanced audit. People who count every penny of OUR money as if it was their own. That's who should be minding the store people. Not a clown that flies around the world playing golf and visiting Africa ON OUR DIME.
I have BIG expectations of my government. I want it to sell off it's stock in bullshit and contract to manageable size. If they were subject to their own laws and rules it would be broken up because it holds a monopoly on many aspects of our lives. This monstrosity is not only dividing us as a nation, it is destroying our way of life and charging it to our grand children's grand children. The current administration keeps our heads bouncing back and forth like a tennis ball but it's all a ruse. They want us to be distracted so we don't look at the big picture. It's all about control, who has it, who wants it and who aims to keep it.
So, when you decide to put your views on Facebook, don't get pissy when I bring up an opposing FACT. If you think your side is the right side, then back it up with both sides of the issue. If your view is a valid one then it should stand on it's merits. You can call me all the names you want, I'll take 'em because that shows me that I struck a nerve. That even YOU have doubts about your position. Give me your expectations and I'll whip you up a healthy serving of reality.
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

Can we last another 237 years?
If ObamaCare is so good, why delay it? If the NSA broad scale information grab isn't criminal, why are 'meaningful reform' changes being made to it to 'narrow' it's scope and 'protect it' from future 'whistleblower type' leaks? If Benghazi, the IRS debacle, Press criminalization and Fast and Furious are NOT scandals, then why do they feel the need to TELL us over and over again that it's not? There is fundamental change coming and it can either go in a good direction or turn horribly wrong. Can we as a nation come together to make the painful changes that will ensure this country enjoys another 237 years as the light at the end of the tunnel for the worlds people who yearn for freedom?
ObamaCare is a trainwreck and has been called that by both sides of the isle. Even his Royal Self Anointed Highness knows that if enacted as written the economic destruction would be epic. Insurance companies are already pulling out of state insurance exchanges because they know it's going to bankrupt them. Employers are cutting hours to keep employees below the 30 hour threshold so they do not have to provide insurance. How many people out there can survive on 30 hours and absolutely NO chance of overtime? Insurance rates are poised to go up 50 to 150% in some states. People who now have insurance and can currently afford it may have to opt out and pay the fine. I currently pay about $600 a month in health insurance costs. Under the scale used by ObamaCare my penalty would be about $1000 for the year. I don't go to the doctor often, maybe I'll take my chances. I'd pocket $5200 and I bet I could find a better use for it! The problem is that it's people like me and my family that pay for the people that use more services then they pay in premiums. When people like me stop paying the insurance provider will have to boost premiums to keep up with costs. Wait until this trainwreck really happens, epic is an understatement. November is coming up, open enrollment for my health insurance and I most definitely will be choosing the absolute minimum I can get. Here comes the fundamental change for me, more change in my pocket!
All of the 'phony scandals' that keep smouldering in the back ground threatening flare up from time to time is nothing for us to be worried about either right? Yeah, if you all believe them no wonder we're in the state we're in. Benghazi needs to go away because it is threatening Hillary Clinton's 2016 bid for POTUS. Americans lost their lives to try and get through a foreign conflict in relative silence. It didn't work, but that ain't stopping them from trying to sweep it under the rug. How many of you realize that as those valiant men and women fought for their lives in Benghazi, Obama WENT TO BED. Hope you slept good you useless prick. Currently the IRS debacle continues to 'give a second look' to all applications that include terms like 'Tea Party' or 'Patriot'. I thought this was all over? Lois Lerner, head of the division that spearheaded this, is still collecting a salary 10 WEEKS after this came to light! The phone tapping of the national press corps has petered out. This administration has 'shat where it eats' and still the press reveres and shields it from controversy. The only saving grace is that the press is losing its relavancy as the premiere place to obtain information. They are no longer the only avenue for influence. They still have a great deal of influence that 'steers' the nation, but are losing ground to people who preach common sense in venues such as this blog. Fast and Furious isn't going to go away quietly either. The truth will eventually come to light. The only difference between a politician and a criminal is that a criminal can be prosecuted for his crimes. That needs to change. The politicians love to preach about accountability when it comes to the private sector...tit for tat you buncha crooks.
Obama supporters defend his abhorrent policy blunders with a fanatical fervor one usually equates with professional sports. People get so wound up they become physically threatening at times. I've had discussions with his supporters that refuse to hear any facts that are contrary to his. They refuse to believe he can do any wrong. He lies in plain view, in direct deference to the facts and still people exalt him. This is no longer an us versus them, it has risen to cult status.
How can we change our current course? We currently have a elected hierarchy that created a system to retain power through complex marketing and broad based voter information sciences. The politicians are no longer concerned with the day to day dealings of us Americans. They are drunk with power and have created a system that enables them to keep that power. Anyone wonder why certain causes like Trayvon Martin are championed and others like the shooting of Christopher Cervini go unnoticed? They use these tragedies to gently (or not so gently) steer the weak minded into being sympathetic to their cause. They do no want you to think independently. If you were to think independently it would add a variable to their scientifically proven model to effect elections, change and control a broad portion of the populace. Think I'm crazy? Go ahead and Google Obama's Liberal Think Tanks. With Obama's horrendous record in his first term many people wondered how he got reelected. With science, that's how. Obama's handlers didn't give a crap how Joe Schmoe from Idaho voted, they concentrated on the population centers. Take a good look at the election map...a lot more red then blue ain't it? Ain't science cool? If you travel or live in any of the blue areas, please comment on the condition of the roads, bridges, schools and budgetary health of these! I'm betting they are all in deplorable condition, but keep voting for that HOPE AND CHANGE won't ya!
Fundamental change is definitely coming and it's either going to cement our place as a destination for those who want to create a life for themselves by their own hand, or it'll be a place we're people come to catch just enough scraps to survive from the ruling class. The choice really is ours if we stop eating what they feed us. In the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower "Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage." I'd like to believe that every American would aspire for this, but there is a faction out there that is against these ideals and I believe they currently reside in Washington DC. On both sides of the isle.
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
