Are you my mommy?

I have had just about enough of the Government rules and regulations that bombard me on a daily basis.  You probably don't realize just how deeply entrenched they have become.  Just think about a few things.  If you want a new toilet, they have restricted the amount of water, or (GPF) gallons per flush to 1.6 gallons, to conserve water, of course.  The unintended consequence, as you are well aware of , is that sometimes, more often than not, you have to flush 2 or 3 times to get the job done.  Where is the water conservation in that?  If you need to replace your light bulbs, in the very near future, you will have to purchase the squiggly light bulbs, that have mercury in them, so if you drop a bulb and it breaks, you will have to call Hazmat to come and clean it up.  If you like the incandescent bulbs, go out now, while you still can, and purchase as many as you want.  If you want to purchase a new car, the Manufacturers have to follow the CAFE standards, (Corporate Average Fuel Economy), an agenda pushed by the greeny weenies.  It seems like a great idea to raise the mpg's of vehicles until you realize that they have to make the cars lighter and less safe.  Google this article and read for yourself- American Thinker: Death by CAFE standards.  Halloween is approaching and I heard on the radio that they are trying to tell us what we should pass out to the children, darker chocolates, less sugary candies, etc..  Michelle Obama, bless her heart, was in Chicago a few weeks ago complaining about how the stores in the inner city don't sell enough fruits and veggies.  She also suggested, are you sitting down?, that they should stock fruits and veggies in....wait for it.....liquor stores!!!  Our kids are too fat, she says, because they don't eat enough fruits and veggies.  Are the kids going to the liquor stores in Chicago?  I thought that, as an adult, that I was allowed to make my own decisions about what to eat, without big momma Government looking over my shoulder, or maybe it's just a dream I have.  Please, Mr. and Mrs. Government, leave us alone.

Will the lies ever stop?

Remember the seemingly hundreds of times that the President and Democrats in Congress told us that if they pass the health care reform bill that our premiums would go down?  Well, I received a mailer for my upcoming open enrollment for health, dental, prescription drugs and vision insurance through my employer and it states, "Health care costs are increasing nationally - which is one of the factors associated with health care reform. As a result, because associates share in the cost of coverage, you will see an increase in your medical, prescription drug and dental premiums for 2011."  Well, isn't that just craptistic!!!  For my family, I will be paying 75.00 more a month for medical and 30.00 more a month for dental.  That's 1260.00 more a year for the same programs I had this year.  They didn't teach me this fuzzy math in school.  They taught me that 1260.00 > 0.00, not 1260.00 < 0.00.  Go figure!  That wouldn't be a problem if I could just print more or borrow more from the Chinese like they do.  Unbelievable. I know, I shouldn't be surprised though I am disgusted.  You've probably heard the old joke - how can you tell if a Democrat is lying......His lips are moving.  How in the world did they think that by adding 45 million more people, (which is a bogus figure), onto the health care coverage bandwagon, we would all pay less?  Just one of a thousand  more reasons to vote for a Republican majority in Congress so that they can reverse or at least de-fund this monstrosity when they take over in January.  Don't forget that after the election, they will be in a lame duck session for 2 more months and, believe me, that they will try to pass a slew of more bad legislation, like Crap and Trade, and so on until they hit the unemployment lines.  Be vigilant in getting as many people to the polls on November 2nd, or vote early if you can, and lets get these clowns out of there.

8 days and counting!!!

With only 8 more days until the election, I am getting more and more excited.  I don't recall another election day that I have been more amped up about. I remember just 2 short years ago, I was 3rd in line at the polls so I could NOT vote for Mr. Obama.  I held my nose and voted for John McCain, or as some have said McLame, but the upcoming election, I believe, is far more important. Today is my son, Dakotah's, 18th birthday.  I took him to get registered to vote about 5 months ago.  He gets to vote with me for his very 1st time, quite possibly his most important time.  Our family was driving through town a couple weeks ago and I told him that voting is simple.  I said "you want to vote for the people with an "R" beside their name and not the ones with a "D".  My 14 year old son, Tristen, heard me say that and he said, "So let me get this straight, someone named Roger is good but not someone named Dave"?  My wife and I got a chuckle from that!  Then I explained that I meant to vote for Republicans, not Democrats.  I am getting a kick out of how badly the Democrats are reeling back on their heels and trying so desperately to find something, anything, to bad mouth their opponents about.  And how many millions, possibly billions of dollars they are spending on despicable ads on television and radio with little or no effect with the general public.  It's amazing how they have such a disconnect with the American voters.  They would be better off using that money and buying lottery tickets, they might have a better shot at winning something. I've said before that the Democrat mascot should not be a donkey,(albeit very appropriate), but rather an ostrich, since they seemingly have their heads in the sand.  On November 2nd, I would crawl a mile through broken glass with my clothes on fire to get to the polls.  We must ALL do our patriotic duty and vote to get this country turned back in the RIGHT direction.

My conservative icons

I am influenced and challenged by a few talk show and television hosts every day.  If I were to list them from top to bottom it would be as follows: 1) Mark Levin. His web site is http://www.marklevinshow.com/.  It is a completely free site where you can download his podcasts.  2) Michael Berry out of Houston Texas.  He does 4 hours of shows a day, 2 hours on http://www.ktrh.com/ and 2 hours on http://www.the950.com/  You can also download his podcasts for free.  3) Bill Cunningham out of Cincinnati.  Podcasts are free at http://www.700wlw.com/.  I also enjoy Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Neal Boortz.  I watch and listen to them when I can, unfortunately, their podcasts are not free. Fox News Channel is, by far, the best outlet for news available, all others are so far left wing that it is pathetic.  I work the night shift and I can downlowd and listen all night to these folks.  If you have an MP3 player, I highly recommend these guys.  There are others, I'm sure that I would like.  If you know of any others that have free podcasts, let me know.

Liberalism is a mental disorder

That is the title of one of Michael Savage's books and I have to say, I can not disagree with him, based on the current Majority in the House and Senate.  I seriously do not know how they could possibly believe some of the things they say.  It's stunning.  They tend to be SO hypocritical.  They always accuse the Republicans of trying to ruin Social Security while the Democrats, in the Obamacare bill, stripped 500 billion dollars out of it. Lets talk about stereotyping. They get their undies in a bunch when one or two people at a Tea Party rally, (who are probably plants), have questionable signs about Obama's race, therefore ALL Tea Party members and ALL Republicans are racists based on a couple of knuckleheads.  Yet, when we suggest that people at the airports who appear to be of middle eastern descent, should be screened a little closer, we are accused of racial profiling.  Just makes sense, because most if not all of the terrorists have been Muslim.  That doesn't mean that all Muslims are terrorists but thats what the Democrats are trying to say that we are saying.  Their new talking point this week, presented by the ping pong ball eyed Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is the lack of FAIRNESS in our country.  The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.  Their suggestion to solve the problem is......wait for it.........Robin Hood Politics.  Lets take from the rich and give to the poor.  Now, isn't that fair?  I don't think that the rich think is a bit fair.  Sounds a lot like Socialism to me.  You want to know what I think is not fair? America has the fattest poor people in the world.   I work hard for the money that I make to try to support my family.  My net, after all the taxes and deductions, is about half of my gross.  We live paycheck to paycheck, that's not the "rich peoples" fault, it's just a fact.  Meanwhile, I went to Walmart around the first of last month to pick up a couple things, it was about 3:00 in the morning, (I work third shift), and in line in front of me was a couple, I assume, husband and wife, they were both so morbidly obese that they had to ride on those motorized buggies with a cart on them.  Both carts were overflowing.  In addition to the buggies being full, they each had another full sized cart, both overflowing.  How did they pay for their groceries, you ask?  You guessed it- Food Stamps!  How fair is that?  I heard about another lady that went to Kroger and her total for her food stamp purchase was 140.00.  100.00 of that was Monster energy drinks and Mountain Dew!  Can you feel the fairness all over you?  I sure can.  We need to stop subsidizing bad behavior and encourage good behavior.
