Hello friends and faithful followers.

I am back. Watch for posting.

Reasons for my absence:

Without going into too much detail I have had some very personal things come up in the past year or so which has caused me to not be able to post. I have gone through some really traumatic things and since December of 2008 life has sucked bad for me. But I am hot on the heels of putting everything back on track.

Maybe I can get Janet Napolitano to add me to the list of radical right wingers to be watched. HA...what a joke.

Add to this, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama .. Nice job with that election America .. and his inability to speak coherently about anything (ahem, can we say NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT?) and you have a recipe that is ripe for political based postings.

Ok, time to go find some material, have a great day folks....please get the word out that I am back.

Sigh

Bored Now.

The bad thing about politics is that it is, well, political. Politics can sure get you down. I am very tired of hearing everyone argue back and forth. It really doesn't matter who the president is. Think I'm kidding? It's the people in Congress and the system that need changing. Does anyone out there think that will ever happen?


On another note: IS THE BLOG FOUNDER OUT THERE?? I really don't have the time or the desire to keep doing this on my own. I prefer to spend time on The Former Runner.

Something We Can Agree On

Well, Obama is doing something we agree with. He is keeping certain policies concerning the War on Terror. This is a good thing, considering the security of the country is at stake. I think he realizes just how difficult these decisions are now that he gets an in depth intel briefing every day. Maybe he'll think twice before criticizing the decisions of President Bush from now on.

Read about it HERE. This bit of news was also reported in this week's issue of The Week magazine. They do a nice round up of the news each week as well as opinion pieces and some good real estate deals.

Fiscal Loonacy

You know, I have been wondering something. When Bush was in office, all I heard was a lot of whining about how much the Iraq war was costing this country on a daily basis. And I certainly was none to happy about the first emergency stimulus package just before he left office, but this whole new spending spree just has me going practically insane. I'm losing my zen cool, if I had any to begin with. What blows my top completely off though, is that the same people who were so upset about Bush's spending are fine as long as the New Messiah is doing it. How hypocritical is that?

I am not the only one who thinks so. There are many of us who find this to be insane troll logic. As usual, Gateway Pundit is also of this view.

Of course, there seems to be a lot of hypocritical thinking on the left when it comes to the actions of their savior vs. the actions of President Bush. The MSM isn't going to point this out, because they are a big part of it. When will the insanity stop? I just want a government that works! I want a government that does it jobs without steling all I've worked for! I want a government that stays out of my daily life! I want a government who's elected officials obey and enforce the laws I must obey! It is so frustrating! UGH!

WE ARE HEADED DOWN THE WRONG PATH! THIS COUNTRY IS DYING! And, for some reason, only Michael Savage seems to have the guts to state this on his radio show.

Commentary

I find it interesting that most people who make comments (not like we get a lot) on here do so only when they wish to bash the blogger. How interesting. We do have some supporters.

My hats off to you!

Now, could you folks please comment on some of our more thoughtful posts? We really thought there would be some on the abortion ones. Did the picture of reality not draw enough attention or were you just in a state of shock?

Sigh. Bored now. Maybe we'll just start posting Buffy quotes of the day.

Bye, Bye Capitalism

Well, if your business accepted the government, uh, I mean taxpayer's money, what did you think was going to happen?

AP – President Barack Obama looks on as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner speaks about executive compensation, … WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Wednesday imposed $500,000 caps on senior executive pay for the most distressed financial institutions receiving federal bailout money, saying Americans are upset with "executives being rewarded for failure."

YAHOO! has it here.

I do not think there should be a cap on someone's pay. In our free market society, each business decides who gets paid what based on experience and performance. If you perform badly, you really should be fired, especially if the company is in such bad shape you need to accept this so-called bail-out money. And you should defintiely NOT get a bonus, but it is still up to the business. Now, am I frustrated with what these businesses are doing with this handout? YES, but there were no restrictions placed on this money and no one in congress even bothered to really look at the financial records of these businesses to decide if they were even worthy of this money. In a free market, businesses succeed and businesses fail. Businesses come and go. It happens. We should let it happen. They do not deserve a bottomless wallet.
