They seem not to believe it, but it was Lieberman who was trashed by his own party in the last election, lost the primary, and won the general election as an independent! The Dems left him for dead, yet he managed to survive their attacks! Now, he is telling them how it is, and they do not like it one bit! He is no longer a member of their party, so none of the people on the left care what he has to say. But they just might! If the Democrats are not careful, they could really hurt themselves with this one. I would keep Lieberman as a friend if I were the libs, but they are not as bright as most of us, so they will screw it up once again!<br /><br /> Here is an article on the story!!!<br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> Lieberman escalates attack on Iraq critics ..>..><table class="contentpaneopen"><tbody><tr> <td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top" width="70%"> <span class="contentauthor"> By Manu Raju </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="createdate" valign="top"> July 31, 2007 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> Ever since Connecticut Democrats refused to back him for a fourth term in Congress, Joe Lieberman has been burnishing his independent credentials in the narrowly divided Senate while becoming increasingly critical of the Democratic Party on the war in Iraq.<br /><br />Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice presidential nominee, insists he is not actively considering joining the Republican Party. But he is keeping that possibility wide open as his disenchantment grows with Democratic leaders. The main sticking points are their attempts to end the war in Iraq and their hesitation to take a harder line against Iran.<br /><br />"I think either [Democrats] are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk, or they're simply hesitant to use American power, including military power," Lieberman said in a wide-ranging interview with The Hill.<br /><br />"There is a very strong group within the party that I think doesn't take the threat of Islamist terrorism seriously enough."<br /><br />Lieberman says he is annoyed by the mudslinging on Capitol Hill and Democrats' unwillingness to work with President Bush. But his critics say he has contributed to that polarization by his rhetoric and refusal to compel Bush to find a new way forward in Iraq.<br /><br />As Lieberman sees it, however, the Democratic Party has slipped away from its "most important and successful times" of the middle of last century, where it was tough on Communism and progressive on domestic policy.<br /><br />"I fear that some people take this position also because anything President Bush is for, they'll be against, and that's wrong," said Lieberman, a staunch advocate of the war. "There's a great tradition in our history of partisanship generally receding when it comes to foreign policy. But for the moment we've lost that."<br /><br />Even though he did not reclaim his Senate seat as a Democrat, Lieberman has been instrumental in two bills this Congress central to the 2006 Democratic campaign platform: an ethics and lobbying overhaul bill and a measure to implement recommendations of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission. The 9/11 bill cleared Congress last week, and the ethics bill could win final approval this week before lawmakers adjourn for August recess.<br /><br />But if Lieberman seems blunt about the direction of the Democratic Party, it may stem from his loss last August in the primaries to businessman Ned Lamont, who wooed Democratic voters with his anti-war platform. Lieberman calls his ensuing victory in the general election as an independent "inspiring." And remaining an independent has freed him to repeatedly buck the Democratic leadership on foreign policy and other legislative issues.<br /><br />"Now that he knows he can win as an independent, he doesn't need the Democrats at all," said Kenneth Dautrich, a professor of public policy at the University of Connecticut. "I think it's absolutely emboldened him."<br /><br />Lieberman was the only non-Republican in June to vote against Democratic efforts to pass a resolution expressing no confidence on embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. He has no plans to endorse a Democrat for president, including the senior senator from his home state, Christopher Dodd, and is open to backing a Republican candidate for president. Lieberman also startled Democrats when he lent his support to the re-election bid of Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a top target of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.<br /><br />During this month's Iraq debate, Lieberman was working behind the scenes strategizing with Republicans and was front-and-center in several GOP press conferences denouncing Democratic tactics to push for an end to the war.<br /><br />Lieberman was the lone non-Republican to vote against Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) efforts to shut down debate on an amendment to bring troops home by next April. (Reid voted against the cloture motion to file a similar motion at a later time.) Lieberman was also alone when he joined 40 Republicans in voting to kill an amendment by Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) to extend the time between troop deployments in Iraq.<br /><br />"I'm disappointed that I am in so small a minority among Senate Democrats in taking the position that I have," Lieberman said.<br /><br />But even as he has played a key role on some of their top domestic initiatives, Democrats have at times kept their distance from Lieberman. Last week, for instance, Reid held a press conference with several Democrats to tout their efforts to pass the 9/11 Commission bill and a homeland-security spending plan. Lieberman, the lead Senate negotiator on the measure and chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, was conspicuously absent.<br /><br />Reid said it was not intentional to leave Lieberman out of the press conference, but Lieberman said not being invited was "surprising."<br /><br />The distance that Democratic leaders appear to be keeping from Lieberman could result from the animosity that the Democrats' anti-war base has directed toward him. That criticism intensified even more last month, when he suggested military intervention against the Iranian government.<br /><br />"He used to have a heart and soul, and he used to care about people," said Leslie Angeline, an activist with the anti-war group Code Pink, who held a 24-day hunger strike until she could meet with Lieberman about his position on Iran.<br />Angeline is facing an unlawful entry charge after she refused to leave Lieberman's office during her strike.<br /><br />Even though Lieberman has become a lightning rod on the left, his prominent chairmanship and influence within the Democratic caucus is safe, for now, given the Democrats' razor-thin majority. Analysts say if Democrats increase their Senate majority from the 2008 elections, Lieberman's influence and role could be marginalized within the caucus.<br /><br />Still, Lieberman is unfazed and says he has no intention of formally rejoining the Democratic Party.<br /><br />"For now, I find being an independent more fun," Lieberman said. "The partisanship in this place is out of control. As an independent I've got the opportunity to speak out against that."<br /><br />..>..><table style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255); height: 626px;" align="center" border="0" width="673"><tbody><tr><td><h4> Excerpts from The Hill's interview with Sen. Lieberman</h4></td></tr><tr><td><strong>The Hill: </strong>How long do you see U.S. troops staying in Iraq?<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman:</strong> I think some troops will be there for quite a while to secure the country, particularly from external threats. Look, I hope that this surge, which has always intended to be temporary, gets to a point sometime next year where it has succeeded enough in quelling the sectarian violence, particularly so that some of the troops that were part of the surge begin to come home. But my direct answer is that there is no explicit answer. The answer is that the troops will come home when the mission is completed.<br /><br /><strong>The Hill: </strong>Obviously, a lot of Democrats don't feel that way.<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman: </strong> I've noticed that.<br /><br /><strong>The Hill: </strong> How dissatisfied are you with you right now with the way this debate has been handled in the Senate, especially during the defense authorization bill debate?<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman: </strong> I'm disappointed that I am in so small a minority among Senate Democrats in taking the position that I have. While I obviously understand and respect that Iraq is a difficult issue, and people take different points of views, I'm surprised and disappointed that the split has followed partisan lines so much. It shouldn't be.<br /><br /><strong>The Hill:</strong> Some of this criticism might seem surprising from someone who was the vice presidential nominee seven years ago. How far away from the Democratic Party do you see yourself right now?<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman:</strong> Right now, certainly on Iraq, to some extent on some other foreign policy issues, like how do we confront Iran, how do we contain Iran, how do we deal with what that threat represents in the Middle East. To some extent on some defense issues, I have disagreements with most Democrats. But I agree with most Democrats on a lot of other issues, and a lot of domestic issues particularly.<br /><br /><strong>The Hill:</strong> Are you open to switching parties and becoming a Republican?<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman: </strong> I have no interest or desire in doing that. I wouldn't foreclose it as a possibility, but I hope that I don't reach that point.<br /><br /><strong>The Hill:</strong> What would drive you over to that point?<br /><br /><strong>Lieberman:</strong> Well, I guess I'd know it. It's like Justice [Potter] Stewart and his definition of obscenity: he couldn't define it but he'd know when he saw it. I think I'll know it when I feel it, but I hope I never get to that point.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> Lieberman is a good man. I do not agree with him on everything, but I sure do agree with him when it comes to the war effort, and especially the Iranian problem that no one in Washington wants to even talk about. Obama says he wants to talk to them and work it out! Hillary says that is crazy, but only because of the way she was asked the question! She has learned a lot from her husband, I can see that!<br /><br /> Just because people can spin questions, does not mean that people will fall for it all the time. We all know Hillary would not launch one missle at Iran until after they sat down for weeks and weeks and tried to work out a "comprimise"! The only compromise that the Iranians want is for us to give up so they have an easier time killing us all!<br /><br /> Lieberman is right on the money. I hope he does join the Republicans, if for nothing else...just to piss the libs off one more time!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-9028059717155517203?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-79815266277446795122007-07-12T03:04:00.000-04:002007-07-12T03:11:24.851-04:00OK, SO I AM FINISHED<br /><br /><br /> Some of you may or may not have known, but I have been working very hard over the past many months on a book. The book is about Conservatism in this country today, battling liberalism, and understanding it. The purpose is for people who do not know much about politics, or for people that do not care, to have something they can use as a reference, to make sure the left in this country does not pull a fast one on them.<br /><br />I have finally completed the book, and I am currently trying to find a literary agent to get it published for me. If that does not work, then I will have to get it done myself. Yes, the first way would be easier, but you gotta do what you gotta do.<br /><br />I figured I would post this blog here because I suppose about 3 people read it anyway, if that, so not to many people will even care that I have written a book. Tom may, thats about it!!! LOL<br /><br />If anyone of you would like to read the first chapter and give me your feedback, write to me at swd112083@gmail.com, or write me on my myspace page, and I will get that chapter out to you. The first 3 people who write me and want to read it get a copy free once it is published!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-7981526627744679512?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-48644855256243033572007-07-08T02:28:00.000-04:002007-07-08T02:29:24.104-04:00<p class="blogSubject"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Is China Involved? </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> It seems that some Chinese weapons have made their way into Iraq and Afganistan, according to people in the Pentagon. Here is the full story...<br /><br />http://www.ft.com/cms/s/82ce0740-2c03-11dc-b498-000b5df10621.html<br /><br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">MY THOUGHTS<br /><br /><br /> </span>This issue seems to be getting more interesting by the day, and that is why I always write about it. Maybe China did send the weapons to the insurgency thenselves, or maybe the Iranians sent them there for them. Who really knows, and I doubt the Cinese will ever give the United States a stright answer on the issue.<br /><br /> As I have said many times before, this situation will get a lot worse before it gets any better. The situation in Iraq is looking bleak, but look at what will happen if we leave like the Democrats want us to do. There is no way Iraq would ever make it through a conflict with Iran, if there even needs to be a conflict. They will be sitting ducks for an invasion, and the takeover will more than likely be very easy. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is because the Iranians will not take any crap from anyone, and they have shown that in their defiance to the United Nations and the world.<br /><br /> I do not believe they will go in their and try to make the country a better place to live. Why would they, all they want is the oil and money from the people of the country. Most of the things that the Democrats have said that Bush went their for, the Iranians will go their for once we pull out. They are playing the waiting game, and they are winning. As long as there are people in this country that say we have no chance of winning this war, then the Iranians will just sit back and wait for this country to implode.<br /><br /> They see us fighting on a daily basis, and they see the decent from people in our own government. Somehow I do not think this helps us one bit, but the other side would say that the war has hurt us far more than we could ever help the Iraqis. This is a bunch of crap, and all you people know it! You all know we have to be there, because if we leave they will fall to a regime that will make Saddam look like Mother Theresa. These people in Iran are sick and twisted, and are waiting for the right time to start WW3! Some of you do not see thi, because you are blinded by hate for the President. Yes, he has pissed me off too. But that does not mean we should leave because we all think we are doing things in the wrong way. We have to go and make them better. The President will not come out and give Iran an ultimatum, and it is hurting him day by day! When will he learn that the people will respect him more if he tells us what is really going on. I am sick of being the only person around here talking about the Iranian-Iraqi insurgency connect all the time. There is a connection, and it is the reason we are not doing well in Iraq. Some of you on the left may say it is because the President did not do a good job of planning, and that may be the case as well. But do not forget the fact that there are IRANIAN weapons inside that country.<br /><br /> As for China, I doubt they are doing it on purpose, but nothing would surprise me much.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-4864485525624303357?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-65736272789556845632007-07-08T02:23:00.000-04:002007-07-08T02:27:14.599-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">COME ON PEOPLE<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br /><br /> </span>Will you people please leave some sort of comments..please???

These people are driving me crazy. They tell me that I should conserve energy, yet they are the ones flying in on their private jets and driving in their expensive , gas guzzling limos! These people make me sick . They are doing nothing to to help their cause, all they are doing is pissing people with half a brain that can make a logical thought in their heads off!<br /><br /> Do any of you actually care what Madonna tells you that we should do? If you do, God bless you, because you will need his blessing, thats for sure. These people are all hypocrits. This is just another cause they feel like they have to get behind because they have money and influence over some people. Of course, the people they have influence over are brain dead morons who would believe that Elvis were still alive if Al Gore told them that he was! Maybe Al Gore should pay more attention to his son that seems to have real problems,instead of plowing America with the fear of something that is as made.<br /><br /> <br /> So, who played in this Live Earth thing anyway. I did not even feel like reading the article. I seen Madonna on TV, that was about it. There are a few bands that I listen to that played there, makes me think why I even listen to music anymore.<br /><br /><br /> Why do people have to take these artists so seriously? They do not care about the planet! If they did, would they be doing have the stuff that they do on a daily basis? They would probably cut back on their driving and drive a hybrid everywhere they went. This is not happening. They may want you to think they do, but they do NOT! They fly in on their jets, then go to a concert to tell people like you and me we are bad people for owning an SUV. The music industry can shove it for all I care. I do not even care anymore about these low lifes! They complain their music is not selling...I wonder why people? Of course some of it has to do with illegal downlaoding, but a lot of it is because they want to make all their music political, and people do not want to hear that. If the people of this country wanted to listen to music that slammed the President and made fools of people who vote Republican, this music would be selling like crazy!<br /><br /><br /> I am so sick of even hearing about these people, I can not even write a decent blog tonight. That really makes me mad! Hopefully I wil come back with something better the next time!!! Thank you all for reading!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-1056485933015181281?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-30957947701667526592007-07-04T02:07:00.000-04:002007-07-04T02:08:11.969-04:00<p class="blogSubject"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">July 4th....... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> This day has special meaning to many of us. It might be because we have someone we love in the military, or just because someone you have known has been in the military in the past, and you know the sacrifice they make for us all. On this day, I would like to put all differences aside and make sure I wish all of you a very Happy 4th.<br /><br /><br /> We should never forget the sacrifices that the men and women of the military have made for this country, and they are #1 today, and in my book every single day! They keep us safe, and keep this country free. God Bless all the troops and their Families...and I thank you all for your sacrifices. It is not only the people who are on the front lines who sacrifice, it is also their families. Thank you all!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-3095794770166752659?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-14943159668046450892007-07-04T02:06:00.000-04:002007-07-04T02:07:19.703-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Libby set free....sort of.....</span> <br /><br /><br />President Bush followed his bases advice and comutted the prision sentence of Scooter Libby. He left inteact the fine and probation, but this was not good enought for the left who came out toally against it right off the bat. I should say the left was consistant on one thing, they did want Libby's head from the time he was convicted, and they did not let up.<br /><br /><br /> There are some things that people neglect to understand when talking about the Libby case. I have heard at least 3 separate newscasts in the last few days explicitly say that Libby was sent to jail because he outed an agent of the government. NO HE DID NOT! What don't you people get about that. He did not out the agent. If you people have woken up, you would have known a long time ago that Richard Armatige actually outed that agent, not Libby. He gave the name after the reporters had already new, because Armatige told them. It is like talking to a bag of rocks when dealing with the libs anymore, like I would have more of a chance to get a wall to give me a educated discussion than anyone on the left. I do not know what to say. It amazes me that these people, that know nothing about what is going on, can make people believe he outed an agent! The Democrats tell us that the right runs the media, but if that were true I would not have heard what I heard on those newscasts, and that is the truth!<br /><br /><br /> Second, and most importantly, I am really curious if anyone on the left gave a second thought to the pardon of Marc Rich, who obviously did something wrong, and even left the country to escape prosecution. It was not untill he gave a substantial amount of money to the Clintons did he come back to the country, and then was pardoned by the man he bought off. I am not going to go into what Marc Rich did, no one cares. But no one stood up and questioned Clintons Pardons, especially this one, when it sure as hell should have been questioned by the media, who is now saying that Bush pardoned him for some God aweful exuse of a reason! He pardoned the man because he did nothing wrong. The Federal Prosecutor investigating the leak of Plame's name took the investigation to far, and had sent lots of money doing so. He needed someones head for something, and he got it in Libby's testimony. The people on the left who are crying foul can cry foul somewhere else, because I do NOT want to hear you. You make yourselves sound like children that did not get their way, and it makes this country look like a bunch of damn fools! DEAL WITH IT!!<br /><br /><br /> Lastly, I am sick and tired of hearing about how perjury is the worst crime anyone could commit and Libby should have never been pardoned for it. These people make me sick! I am tired of holding back on this. I am going to tell you how I feel, like I should have at the begining when I was going to. You want to know why I do not give a damn Libby was set free? It is because Clinton made everything ok to do, that is why. If anyone on the left has the nerve to say that Libby should go to jail, but Clinton had the right to keep the Presidency, then those people are so far out there they will probably never find the light of day. It is ok for a sitting President to lie, but not Libby. He should go to jail, and Clinton should be honored for all the crap he never did to make this country better? The people on the left are hypocrites. If you want Libby in jail, thats fine with me. Just send Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Madaline Albright, and Sandy Berger right along with him, because that is the only thing that would ever make it right.<br /><br /><br /> And do not give me that he lied about sex, because that is the lamest exuse for comitting a crime I have ever heard. He lied, and nothing happened to him. I do not care what he lied about. He could have lied about taking a bath that morning for all I care. He was asked a question, under oath, and he lied. He knew he lied, and he did it to protect himself, knowing full well the people in this country are so stupid they would never ask for Impeachment and removal. Yeah, we got oe of those, but he should have been thrown out of office and charged with Perjury and Obstruction. No one one the left wants to acknowledge the facts in the case, and they never will. They want it one way for their side, and another way for their eneimies.<br /><br /><br /> I am all about right and wrong, not about left and right. This has made me sick to my stomach. Let it die. Libby was pardoned, so what? Clinton pardoned himself when he associated with the people he did to get out of ever being charged with a crime. he should have been, once out of office, because you can not charge a sitting President, but that is beyond the point!<br /><br /><br /> You people on the left want to make this a better country? You know what you have to do to do that? Start acting like Americans, not like some other kind of people that are better than American and can come and talk down to the people of this country and to other parties. You are not the party that will lead this country into bigger and better things, but you are the people that will ruin this country to the point of no return. You talk about the Bush Administration and how they have lied to the people, and how they are bad people. Give me a break! Your words are lost on the people with half a brain to make a reasonable assesment of what is going on. All the people that follow your lead do just that...FOLLOW! So get off your high horses and get some work done, like you promised the American people you would do but have not done yet. You have lied to the American people also...You do NOT get a pass from me!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-1494315966804645089?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-82992788305881364392007-07-01T14:46:00.000-04:002007-07-01T14:47:00.385-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Is it just me or.... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> Is this world turning into something no one had ever even imagined it would become. After the recent terror attack, we see that there is evil in th world, and it is up to us to stop it in its tracks. Obviously, not every single attack can be stopped, as we have seen this weekend, but things must be done to protect the citizens of these nations that the terrorists consider "Evil".<br /><br /> I know what a few of you are saying to yourself, you have said it to me any time before. There is no evil in the world, don't kid yourself. I say what has happened this weekend shows that there is evil, and how evil that these people can be. You do not have to believe in a higher power to believe that there are people in this world that want to harm others. I do not what you people want to consider that, but I consider it evil. There is no way be can beat all of it. It has existed since the beiginning of time, and it will till the end. But there are ways we can protect ourselves, and the United States has done those things, even though the left considers Bush a War Criminal for it.<br /><br /> I am sick of hearing the left tell me that I am wrong for what I believe. I am sick of people in Washington tell me that I must be against this war, because if I am not I do not care about the troops that are there. Those troops are there fighting so we do not have to deal with car bombs going off every single day. The people that believe we are fighting in vain are clueless to the facts of why we fight and where we fight! Clinton and the people like her are not the ones that should tell me how to feel about what is going on in this world today, because if she was leading the free world, we would be in more trouble than we are now.<br /><br /> Do you think she will fight the nemy where we are, or wait for them to come to us again? I think we all know the answer to that.<br /><br /> Someone on the left explain to me why we should bring our men and women home before we win, and I will tell you why you people are traitors to the people who are fighting. Do you want the subway that your children are riding on one day to blow up because some nutt case from the Middle East believes we are the worst of the worst in the world? How about a dirty bomb going off in a college? These things can happen, and they will if we do not show our might in the world to the people who hate us the most. That is not being a war monger, that is being realistic!<br /><br /> Or we can just bring our troops home, give up, and show the world we are weak, just as we did in Vietnam. It is up to you, people on the left, on which side you will be on! Yes, my words in this blog will probably get under the skin of some of you, but I only tell the truth. The truth hurts those who have not found it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-8299278830588136439?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-15739456267901214262007-07-01T14:45:00.000-04:002007-07-01T14:46:20.235-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> What Happens when... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> We have a country, led by the worst of the worst, and we want to get something done? I don't know people, come on! This imigration issue has been killed in the Senate, but I am telling you right now they never should have stopped trying to get a bill passed through to the President. The people that are right minded people, the ones that know the people that were for the Senate Immigration Bill were out of theuir minds, should have brought up their own bill. No, it would have never made it anywhere, but what does that matter?<br /><br /> When the Senate Bill was killed the first time, we were told that we should not speak our minds and tell our Representatives what we think, because obviously they know more about what we want than we actually do. Then, just to try and rip the American people a new one, brought the bill back from the dead, and tried to get it passed again! This aggravates me more than anything, and it should to you, also! Our Senate did not go back to their states and ask the people what they wanted, they brought the same bill, with a few minor changes, back to the floor to try and pull a fast one on the people of this country. A people, mind you, that wanted nothing to do with this bill and wanted more than anything to deal with the border security side of it first.<br /><br /> So, in bringing back the bill, the Senate pretty much told us that our opinion does not matter at all, and they know what is best. I tell the Senate that they never know what is best for the people, and they do not represent the people any longer. They represent the interest groups that fund their campaigns more than the people. Our founders are rolling in their graves right now. If they are looking down on us, they are seeing their Republic taken advantage of by people with loads of cash to spend, on both sides. How else can you explain a President that ran on being a Conservative promoting a bill with Ted Kennedy? The guy is either that stupid, or he believes something way more than he is letting on.<br /><br /> I am sick of the Congress not listening to the people of this nation. Not one of these people who are in Congress right now (except for a few number) should ever be voted back into office when their terms expire. These men are crooks, and have taken the Congress to new lows with their Globalist attitudes they try to pass on as the norm to the people of this country. Their thinking is NOT the norm. We, the people of this great country, do NOT want illegals coming over our borders, no matter what we are called in return. Yes, you can call all of us racists and bigots, but you all knowwe are not. We want to protect this country from something the elitists in power throughout this country want to lead us to. The people on the left, who are by far the most in favor of these immigration tactics, have lost their minds more than anyone here on the right will ever know. They have sold themselves and their country down the river, and it was only people like me who had the balls to stand up and say we do not want this bill, we want nothing like it at all!!!<br /><br /> We told the Congress we want them to work on the security of our borders. The left has no drive to do anything of the sort, and the right are to caught up with who is running for President, they probably do not even know what is going on. If every single republican would have come out against this Bill, they would have no worries in 2008. They would have won by a landslide everywhere. But they feel their Globalist agendas are more important then the people who elect them, so they should be thrown out on their butts. The people in Mass. should send Kennedy and Kerry back home. They would do more good selling t-shirts outside a Red Sox game than they are in the Senate right now! That goes for most of the people in Congress. They have felt the power, and they do not want to let it go.<br /><br /> The right is also afraid that if these illegals are made citizens, and are allowed to vote, they will go hugly Democratic. That should not even be an issue, since they are illegals and should be sent packing. We have no balls in this country anymore, especially the left. They are all for helping out the little guy at everyone elses expence, not realizing the ramifications. I thought these people were crazy...I was wrong....THEY HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS to the point there is nothing that will help them.<br /><br /> The people have spoken on the immigration bill, and it has been killed. Now the people have to speak even louder and tell Congress what we want done! We must tell them we want security on our borders. Tell Mr. Bush that WE elected him, and he must srerve us, or just leave now...we do not need your garbage talk about Globalization and a E.U. type state. We are AMERICANS and that is all I will ever be, I do not know about the rest of you. Take the power away from these crooks, before they get even more powerful. Vote the scums out of office, and tell them on their way out they betrayed us! They are not good enough to serve the people of this country, and they will never be!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-1573945626790121426?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-47146467224979645602007-07-01T14:44:00.000-04:002007-07-01T14:45:36.939-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> "ALLAH, ALLAH" </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> According to those who were witness to the car bomb that went off over the weekend, one of the suicide bombers was set a blaze, and when the police tried to aprehend him, he fought back, throwing punches and screaming "Allah, Allah". Here is the article...<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/01/world/europe/01britain.html?ei=5090&en=f921e1f0886eca33&ex=1340942400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print<br /><br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">MY THOUGHTS</span><br /><br /> The terror threat in England has been raised, and the people are on high alert. This is something we should get used to happening in our world, with the terrorists running around like they run the world. Of course, they would love to, b ut I guess we are here to stop them. But sometimes, it is too late, and the good guys lose, like they did in Scotland over the weekend.<br /><br /> Of course we can not stop every attack, and they cannot as well. But I would like to reitterate what I said in an earlier blog that doing nothing would be far worse than doing the things we are doing right now. People do not agree with the Patriot Act, but it has worked. Peope believe the war in Iraq is immoral and wrong, but it has been a valiant effort by our men and women who believe in the cause of making this a safer world.<br /><br /> I have been getting the feeling that people want to take out what is happeing in Iraq out on the people who support the war. Let me explain my position again, because it seems to be lost on most.<br /><br /> I am for the war in Iraq, it should have been fought, and we needed to be there to make the region safer and also the rest of the world. Saddam with a nuke, or even trying to get a nuke, was unexceptable. The United States and its Allies were within the bounds of International Law when they went to war in Iraq, that is not arguable. They broke U.N. Resolution after U.N. Resolution telling them to disarm, but yet they would not let the people in to check, so how could we ever know they disarmed? I know you people on the left love the U.N. but they are not the all powerful in this world. They are nothing to me. And they even knew Saddam was trying to get WMD's, and even said so before the invasion. So did most in the Democratic Party! Yes, the ones that are know saying they were fooled by a man who they also called "stupid".<br /><br /> What does that make you if you were fooled by a "stupid" man?<br /><br /> The truth is there has to be something done about the people who want to carry out attacks in this country. The first thing is to close off the border with Mexico. I know I have been killing this point, and people are probably getting annoyed, but that does not take away from the importance of it, or I would not write about it all the time. I want you people to get it, that illegal immigration not only hurts the laws we have to protect each American, it hurts ALL Americans in a way that we will feel when the first car bomb goes off in this country. Some of you are blind to that fact, and do not want to hear it. You believe that you can just talk to most people, and they will go away. I have even heard people say it is our fault because of our foriegn policy, and that we should change. You people that want to change for the terrorists are not helping anyone in this country with your crap.<br /><br /> And the problems continues, with no solution by the people that say that are in power to protect us. Yes, the Bush Administration has done things that are good. But there are things they are doing that will reverse the course of what they put us on in the beginning. I believe it has everything to do with their Globalists agendas, and how they feel they world should look. But their views will go no where if we must also deal with the terrorists coming over the border. I am going to harp on this issue until something is done about it...until the people tell their Congressmen that the people want something done NOW!!! We do not want to wait for the 2008 elections to be held..why would we wait? The car bombs will be going off in America soon enough if we do not do something about the immigration policy in this country. We should know who is here, and if they are illegal, we should get them out. If they wan to come back, that is fine. They MUST do it the right way. Why must we give special treatment to those who have broken the law? If someone commited a crime, would we let them go, telling them that as long as you are a good citizen, then you can go on your way?<br /><br /> This topic really annoys me, because the people in power KNOW what the people want, but will not give us what we want. Their agendas are more important..and the fight continues on!<br /><br /> When we talk about the security of this nation, nothing should be spared. We should spare no expense in protecting the people. Term limits should be imposed on ALL of Congress, and that ill make them know that they are not there forever, and in turn possibly make them think a little clearer. That is not all that must be done. We must also make known that the PEOPLE run this country, and we elect the people to represent us as we see fit. We have to put away our party affiliation for a minute and look for what wil make this country stronger, and that is no one that is leading us today. The Reagan Conservatives are waiting for the next Reagan, but do not know if he will ever come. We are hopeful...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-4714646722497964560?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-61326498382728971602007-06-14T01:16:00.001-04:002007-06-14T01:16:55.217-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Just a little rant.... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> Wow, I haven't used that one in a while..rant..wow.. That is really all I do here is rant about what I believe is right and what should happen to and in this country. people may not agree with me, most do not. But that is far beyond the point. That is what political battles on myspace is all about. Arguing and fighting to get your point across, even though you know the other person may not care. That is what I do here.<br /><br /> I know I have said this before, and I will say it again I am sure....Democrats are out to ruin this country and everything it stands for. I believe, deep down in my heart, that they could care less about the people who are in this nation and more about the world at large. That is why you will always here someone from the left say that we should listen to the world before we do anything that may effect the tiniest little thing in the world. Yes, and that means Global Warming. I know I keep bringing this up, but there are a few things that I will bring up until the 2008 election has passed, and that is one of them. Why you may ask? I believe that Al Gore, sooner or later, is going to find his oppertunity to jump into this race for President and give a second chance at being President. There is no way he will play second chair to Hillary, there is no chance of that happening. But the other way around, that is a possibility. Another Gore/Clinton Ticket is what the Democrats would love the most. You would see the news media go crazy over it.<br /><br /> On the Republican side, Fred Thompson, in a Rassmusen Poll has caught up to Rudy in the Republican polls. This man is amazing. If he stays around long enough to put a run together, it is over. The man will win the nomination. This is something the Republicans really needed right now, someone they can get behind that is a Reagan Conservative. I always like to talk about the nominations, and what will happen in the races, I am sure you know that if you have been reading my blog for a while. For the first part of the year, I was strongly behind Mitt Romney, but now, there is no denying the force that is coming with Fred Thompson. If he is the Republican nod, he will NOT be one of those that pick Rudy or even McCain to be his running mate. There is no way he would pick a Liberal like one of those guys to go the distance with. And since I believe that the issue of Republicans not putting up a women may come into the debate at some point, I believe he would pick someone like Rice to be his running mate. Now, I am not saying it would be her, but someone like her. A women that people may or may not know to much about, but would repsect the way they speak, as people do when Thompson speaks to a group.<br /><br /> But who knows, I could be totally wrong again. I mean, I was behind a man for President that I thought I knew, but was fooled after watching some debates and listening to him speak a few times. It is so early in the process, no one really knows what can happen. A story could come out that could push Obama to the top, and it would totally ruin everything I have written about here tonight. People in this country love to look ahead, and especially me this time. I do not know why that that is really. I would guess it is because I am so sick and tired of the Bush Presidency, sometimes it makes me sick.<br /><br /> The Democrats will come with the fight of a lifetime this time around ladies and gentlemen. If you thought the election of 2000 was bad, this one may be even worse. Barring some wierd turn of events, Hillary will win the nomination and do anything she can to win the White House, and ultimatly put her Husband into a position of power somewhere in the world community. That is what scares the hell out of Conservatives. A man that should have been thrown out of office, or at least resigned his office, may one day have more power than anyone could have ever imagined.<br /><br /> Am I talking crazy, or am I right on the money with this one? You tell me when the last time you seen someone from the left talk bad on the Clintons, and did not pay for what they have said. These people could be the most powerful family in the country, maybe even the world, if they are let back into the White House for another go around to ruin this nation at a time when we are most vulnerable. Take my words for what they are worth, but remember what happened the last time we had a Clinton in the White House....Sex Scandles, illegal campaign contributions, lying under oath and committing obsruction of justice, undercutting the military by cutting their funding, giving the American people the HIGHEST tax increase this country has ever seen, letting Bin Laden go because of the "Rule of Law" ( as if Bin Laden has ever heard of such a thing). Just remeber those things when your Liberal buddies say Hillary is the way to go!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-6132649838272897160?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-53286753044710800142007-06-13T02:38:00.000-04:002007-06-13T03:14:01.077-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">AS I SIT HERE TONIGHT......</span><br /><br /><br /> I sit here tonight, as I watch the movie, "All the Presidents Men", and I wonder if we are not living through another Republican Presidency that has lied to us about something. No, not about the War or even taxes...nothing like that at all. Nothing to even add up to the momentous ties that were told to the country in that part of our History. But, I do believe we have been lied to by the President of the United States in one respect. That is in the pool of immigration. We have been lied to and told that we are supposed to be supportive of the Bill in front of the Senate right now, because if we are not, we are not REAL Americans. We are racists and bigots for even saying that the president is wrong with this one, and that right there is a crime!<br /><br /> This is what I say to Mr. Bush: We are NOT going to sit here while you push your globalists agenda down the throats of people who want to keep the sanity in this nation. We want to preserve this nation the way it was founded...by the Constitution of this nation, not of other nations or of some sort of North American Union, which we all know these politicians want. But the real question here is why do they want it? The Democrats are no better on this issue. They will not fight Bush on this, even though it would help them more than they even know. There are people like me out there that would vote for a Dem if he said that this immigration Bill was full of it and should not even be put to a vote. Luckily, there are Republicans as well who do not like this Bill, and they are also running for President. I guess we cross our fingers and wait to see what happens.<br /><br /> I believe this is an issue that can not be looked past. If this bill passes, which I believe it just might, there will be MANY illegals with the power to vote very very soon. This is what the people in Congress are praying for. Once these people are allowed the right to vote, our vote is pointless to them. They can all fight over the Hispanic vote when they are done. This is all what they want. They want the North American Union so bad they will sail the U.S. and its Constitution down the river. But the REAL problem is that most people just do not care. Why do they not care about one of the most important issues of our day? The reason is because they have no idea what is going on. Have you read the 400 some odd pages of the bill for immigration reform? I have not. I do not have the time, just like most Americans do not have the time to do it. This should infuriate more people than it has, but it has not. I say we start asking the tough questions of our Government and our leaders, just as Bernstein and Woodward asked the tough questions of the Government when they did the story of Watergate. Like I said, this story does not even touch the surface of a story like that. But it has a lot to do with the future of this nation and who it will be run by.<br /><br /> I have no idea if anyone will even read this post, since it seems no one ever comes to this site anymore to comment, so I may have to repost on my myspace site to get the discussion going. But this is what I hope for. I hope that people will become mad at this government for trying to make the people look like monsters for believing in the right to sovereignty. This country has done some amazing things in the past, but now we are hitting a point in History where we need to ask more questuions and make sure they are answered better than they have been. The people and only the people can make that happen. The Government should never become more powerful than the people of the nation who elects them, but that has become the norm over the past 40 or even 50 years. People who run this nation are running it for corporations and the wealthy, not for the everyday person. I am not singling out anyone here. I mean Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this. I am one that will not sit and wait for the final straw to be drawn on this nation. I love this nation and everything it has done, good and bad...for one reason.....WE ARE THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD! No question about that...it is a fact. Through everything that has happened to us over the years, we have come back strong. But this time it is people inside the government who want to make every single American look like a fool, not another nation. They feel we can be stronger if we are apart of a larger nation, and I say we will be weaker. They say we need the work force, I say get the lazy bums off of the welfare system and get them to work. They say people like me are racist for the way I think, I say they are in the minority for the way they think.<br /><br /> Do not let the government control you, you control the government. Not just on election day, but every day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-5328675304471080014?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-38233012467577737492007-06-12T02:09:00.001-04:002007-06-12T02:09:31.800-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Lieberman Gets It..... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> <br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span> <span id="article"><div class="KonaBody"><span id="intelliTXT"> <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><b>Lieberman: U.S. Should Weigh Iran Attack<br /><br /><br /></b></span></span></div></span>http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070610/D8PM5HEO0.html<br /> <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;"><span id="article"><span id="intelliTXT"><p> WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Joseph Lieberman said Sunday the United States should consider a military strike against Iran because of Tehran's involvement in Iraq.</p><p> "I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq," Lieberman said. "And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers."</p><p> The U.S. accuses Iran of fostering terrorism and Tehran's nuclear ambitions have brought about international reproach.</p><p> Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000 who now represents Connecticut as an independent, spoke of Iranians' role in the continued violence in Iraq.</p><p> "We've said so publicly that the Iranians have a base in Iran at which they are training Iraqis who are coming in and killing Americans. By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers," Lieberman said. "Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But if there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can't just talk to them."</p><p> He added, "If they don't play by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."</p><p> Lieberman said much of the action could probably be done by air, although he would leave the strategy to the generals in charge. "I want to make clear I'm not talking about a massive ground invasion of Iran," Lieberman said.</p><p> "They can't believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans," he said. "We cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they'll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home."</p><p> To deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions, Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson said tough negotiation is called for.</p><p> "I would talk to them, but I would build an international coalition that would promote and push economic sanctions on them," Richardson said. "Sanctions would work on Iran. They are susceptible to disinvestment policy. They are susceptible to cuts, economic sanctions in commodities."</p><p> On Friday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Iran's detention of at least four Americans is unwarranted but will not stop Washington from trying to engage Iran on other matters, including its disputed nuclear program and alleged support of insurgents in Iraq.</p><p> In an Associated Press interview, Rice also appeared to cast doubt on whether the U.S. would take its tentative diplomatic outreach to Iran any further for now.</p><p> The U.S. and Iranian ambassadors in Iraq met last month for the first public, substantive high-level discussions the two countries have held in nearly three decades. Although limited to the topic of violence and instability in Iraq, the talks have been seen as a possible window to better relations.</p><p> Immediately after the meeting in Baghdad, Iran announced plans for another. But U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker said Washington would decide only after the Iraqi government issued an invitation.</p><p> U.S. officials also said they wanted to see Iran follow up on U.S. complaints that it is equipping and helping insurgents who attack American forces.</p><p> Lieberman spoke on "Face the Nation" on CBS. Richardson was on "Late Edition" on CNN.</p><br /><p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">MY THOUGHTS</span></p> I guess the Party that Lieberman used to call home should take a page from his book and do what is right. Though I do not agree with him on every single issue, he has surprised me to the point where I am almost happy he is in the Senate still. He sees it the way it should be seen; Iran is a threat and they are causing deaths to American Soldiers in Iraq. I do not know why others just can not come to terms with this. Is it because people are afraid of another war in the Middle East, or is it that people are afraid if we get rid of the Iranian regime we may win the war? It is one of those...probably the ladder if you are a Democrat!<br /><br /> Understand this, I know I write about this issue a lot, but it is one of the most important issues of our day. The Iranians SHOULD be attacked. We should have done it already. There is news today that the U.S. and the Israelis have started training together in Air Force Drills.<br /><br /> Do not kid yourselves...if we do nothing to stop the Iranians, the Israelis will, with the force that Iran wishes they could use on us! If Iran flexes their muscles, there is no doubt in my mind the Israelis would use tacticle nuclear weapons to ruin their regime and also help the U.S. win the war, finally, in Iraq. Sadly, they may be the only hope left for the end of a regime in Iran that could become as lethal as Nazi Germany.<br /><p><br /></p></span></span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-3823301246757773749?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-7242506705635686172007-06-12T02:08:00.000-04:002007-06-12T02:09:04.134-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Harry Reid STILL don't get it!!! </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> <h1>Reid says U.S. strike on Iran would be destabilizing</h1> <div class="timestamp">Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:44PM EDT</div> <p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected on Monday another prominent senator's call for a military strike against Iran, saying a U.S. attack would destabilize the Middle East.</p> <p>Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut and chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said over the weekend the United States should be prepared to use military force to stop Iran from training and equipping Iraqi militants blamed for the deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq.</p> <p>Iran has denied supplying Iraqis with armor-piercing munitions and U.S. officials say they cannot prove complicity on the part of the Tehran government.</p> <p>But Lieberman, appearing on CBS' Sunday program "Face the Nation," said the United States had "good evidence" that Iraqis were being trained to use the weapons at a camp inside Iran. He advocated a military strike in retaliation, saying much of the job could be done with air strikes.</p> <p>"The invasion of (Iran) is only going to destabilize that part of the world more," Reid said on Monday after speaking at a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress think tank.</p> <p>"I know Joe means well, but I don't agree with him," the Nevada Democrat added. He advocated continued diplomatic efforts with Iran instead.</p> <p>Reid's comments appeared on thinkprogress.org, a Center for American Progress blog, and were confirmed by his Senate staff.</p> <p>Analysts described Lieberman's comments as an escalation of official U.S. rhetoric. Up to now, officials including President George W. Bush have vowed to confront any Iranian networks found inside Iraq.</p> <p>"This takes it across the border," said Ray Takeyh, an Iran expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.</p> <p>"But it would not be a surgical limited strike. It could potentially escalate into a much more serious confrontation between the two countries, and if that's the direction Lieberman wants to go, he has to be very honest about the potential pitfalls."</p> <p>The White House said the Bush administration delivered a strong message to Iran during meetings last month in Iraq.</p> <p>"We urge the Iranians to live up to their commitment to play a positive role inside Iraq," said White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe, who was traveling with Bush in Bulgaria.</p> <p>State Department spokesman Tom Casey responded to Lieberman's comments by saying the United States is pursuing "a diplomatic policy with respect to Iran."</p><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN1120228220070611?feedType=RSS&rpc=22<br /><br /><br /> MY THOUGHTS<br /><br /> I posted a story similar to this yesterday, which spoke about Joe Leiberman's position on Iran. I thought I would be fair, and post one from the other side as well.<br /><br /> There is really not to much for me to say that I have not said already. Now, Harry Reid suggets that a military strike on one of the most dangerous nations in the Middle East would DESTABLIZE the region? This is so good. If he was not being serious, I would laugh until it would would my sides. But, unfortunatly, he is being serious. A rouge regime with a nuke will not destabalize the region, but a military strike on said nation will! This is the Democratic Party at its finest. First, they tell us the war in Iraq is destablizing the region, then it is a strike on Iran. Which one is it. If the region is already in disaray, then how could another strike put it in disaray?<br /><br /> Here is what I think. I think the Democrats are afraid to win this war...because it will give Republicans a HUGE boost going into 2008. They ONLY care about politics, not about the people who they represent. If it means losing a war to get them elected, they will do it in a heartbeat. You have to understand the mind of a Defeatist to really understand what is going on in this country today. Sadly, most do not, and keep falling for the same old tricks as they have before. No Republican nor nothing that I can write about in this blog will ever change the mind of a Defeatist.<br /><br /> To them, we should keep TALKING with the Iranians, to try and work something out. To me, I always thought that this country had a policy not to negotiate with terrorists, but I guess I was wrong about this natiopn once again. It is falling into the hands of the peace crowd, and nothing good can come out of that. I am sure there were people who thought they could TALK to Adolf Hitler, also. This man in Iran is no different...he just has not been able to KILL the Jews he actually wants to, because he knows they will fight back. This is not 1939 anymore...we should have learned from our past experiences with rouge states, but we have not. Some of you do not know your History, and that is sad. People who do not know their History are condemned to repeat it. If the Dems take full control, the peace crowd will have the FULL floor, and there will be nothing that we can do to stop them.<br /><br /> Some one recently told me that we should give peace a chance.....I say lets give WAR a chance....we have given peace a chance long enough. Time to give Iran what they want...a War. Nothing less.....if you people think they will stop giving weapons to terrorists in Iraq or stop their nuclear program...I got a nice spot on the moon to sell ya!!!<br /><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-724250670563568617?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-84462157866200683982007-06-12T02:07:00.000-04:002007-06-12T02:08:27.135-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Colorado going crazy for Global Warming </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> <p class="blogContent"> Here are some facts for the Global warming crowd in this country.

As we are sitting in the waiting room, I overhear this 76-year old liberal yinzer complaining to an orderly about the 'evil' Republicans. "All politicians that are rich and/or have any kind of money are Republican only." What? WHAT?!? My wife shot me an evil glare but I could not resist to chime in on the poor mindless bastard that he is. "No democrats are rich?" I ask. "Nope, they are just like the rest of us working-class Americans. Only the Republicans have any money." Clueless liberal yinzer replies. "Are you friggin' kidding me? Do you really think democratic politicians don't have mansions (like Kerry, Gore, etc), yachts, maids, personal chefs, etc?" I ask in total disbelief. "Ah, what do you know, you weren't alive during the Great Depression." He says. Luckily, for my wife, my son's name was called and my conversation with the clueless, liberal moron ended. However, it just goes to show what great brainwashers the libs are. Because you all know that democrats 'care about the poor...' Yeah, right.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-8269229419795431949?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00867056291704003045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-64361918268488652132007-05-16T15:08:00.001-04:002007-05-16T15:08:18.974-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Sharia Law in the U.S.?

If the Dems get their way, if you call in a tip on, ohh lets say people who look suspicious at an airport, and there are no charges filed, then YOU, the one that called in the suspicious activity could be taken to court. Here is the article....<br /><br />http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20070514-093346-1946r.htm<br /><br /><br /> MY THOUGHTS<br /><br /> We were told right after 9/11 to be watchful for anything suspicious that may happen around us. We were told to keep a watchful eye on people who may seem a little wierd..maybe not in their person but there actions! We were told that this would help national security, and ever since then the Libs have taken the people who actually do this to the cleaners, and make sure their life is a living hell.<br /><br /> The people that told the pilot of the suspicious people on the plane to MN now could be sued by the 6 Imams... Why? Because they saw something they thought was suspicious and told someone? Give me a break! PLEASE! Our whole country sits there after 9/11 and tells us to be vigilant, then now it is wrong to do that because we might hurt their feelings. I do not care who's feelings we have to hurt...if it protects us here at home, then more power to us! The people want to help, they really do. But how many people will go and call the cops when they see something suspicious if the Libs get their way here.<br /><br /> A better question is why does CAIR even care about this, if they did not have a hidden agenda? Some have told me that CAIR is a very respectable group, yet, in this case they do not want people to call in suspicious persons, because...well...it may cause a religious backlash? They do not want people to be vigilant because then it will make it easier for the people they have funded to blow up another building...that is why! (Maybe I crossed the line there, but it was about time someone did...)<br /><br /> I would love to hear your thoughts on this situation. Should people be able to get immunity for calling in these types of tips???<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-1752193955202936660?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-71312650409071694182007-05-16T15:04:00.000-04:002007-05-16T15:05:12.919-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Planned Parenthood's "DONT ASK, DONT TELL" theory blows up in face!!!!! </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> Read this article people.

"The father was basically treating his daughter like she was his wife." </p><p> </p><p><br />..>..>..>..><table style="width: 1px; height: 1px;" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td class="ad" align="center">. </td> <td width="10"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>John Blanks Jr. of Mason was sentenced to five years - one year in prison for every year he molested his daughter, beginning when she was 13. "She had to get up out of his bed in the morning and go to school, if you can imagine what that was like," Hutzel said. </p>In May 2006, the girl told a Mason High School official what was going on. "She finally decided she wasn't going to take it anymore and she didn't want her sibling to become a victim," Hutzel said. <p>Now the girl says in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that the abuse could have been stopped earlier. In November 2004, when she was 16, the girl was forced by her father to have an abortion. She reported the abuse at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Cincinnati, her lawyer says. </p><p>"She tried to put an end to this abuse," said Brian Hurley, "by informing a Planned Parenthood employee that she has been forced to have sex and to do things she did not want to do. Tragically for her, Planned Parenthood's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy was in full force." </p><p>State law requires teachers, clinic workers and others to report suspected abuse to police. But Planned Parenthood "completely ignored her cry for help," Hurley said, and his client was "raped on many occasions over the next one and one-half years." </p><p>Becki Brenner, president of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio, said: "I won't speak on individual patients, but I am very eager to see the facts of this case come out for public review. I can't tell you the facts because of the legal issues, but I think people may be surprised." </p><p>She also said, "We do not have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy." </p><p>Hurley also represents "Jane Roe," a victim of sexual abuse by her soccer coach at age 14. She was taken by the abuser to Planned Parenthood in the fall of 2004 for an abortion. Although she used a junior-high school I.D. and the coach, 21, paid with a credit card and driver's license, Planned Parenthood failed to report the abuse. </p><p>Planned Parenthood officials said they were misled and did not know the man who gave permission and paid for the abortion was the abuser. </p><p>That case is still in court. An appeals court hearing is expected Tuesday on Judge Patrick Dinkelacker's order for Planned Parenthood to turn over records of underage abortions to Hurley. As in similar cases in Indiana and Kansas, Planned Parenthood has invoked patient privacy. Even if names and addresses are deleted, Planned Parenthood attorney Daniel Buckley argued there are "profound and significant privacy issues." </p><p>But based on records obtained so far, Hurley said, "My guess is that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and that is why Planned Parenthood will do anything to prevent us from seeing its records." </p><p>In the Roe case, a Planned Parenthood "Documentation Form for Suspected Sexual or Child Abuse Report" says: </p><p>"Patient reports pregnancy is a result of sexual assault by a stranger." </p><p>"After consultation with (Planned Parenthood) attorney, report of a crime to the police was not made; due to physician-patient privilege, we are prohibited from reporting as no severe bodily injury was reported." </p><p>Hurley said prosecutors in four local counties know of no such exception to reporting requirements. Hutzel agreed. If evidence of severe injury were required, "there would be no reports in the vast majority of situations," Hurley said. </p><p>Hutzel said she is "keeping the door open" for possible criminal prosecution depending on what is revealed in the civil case. </p><p>"By failing to report it and giving her an abortion and birth-control pills, they sent her home with him and he abused her for another year and a half," she said. "That had to have been one of the darkest days of her life. She has just had an abortion, now she has to get back in the car and go home with him." </p><p>Hurley also found a note in Planned Parenthood files about sexual abuse that mentions "don't ask, don't tell."</p>http://zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070512/OPINION02/705120336/1014/OPINION<br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">MY THOUGHTS</span><br /><br /> I do not have to many thoughts on this issue...just wanted to get it out there for debate. I do believe, however, that Planned Parenthoods stance on these types of issues HAVE to change, because what they did to this girl should be criminal as well. They KNEW she was getting raped by her father and told no one, just to save their butts!

I wish I still had Rob on this blog, because he knows how to spin everything to make it look good. But even he could not spin how bad this looks for the Democrats right now. Here is the address to the story...<br /><br /> http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27589<br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">MY THOUGHTS</span><br /><br /> Since the Democrats have taken offic, I said they have done nothing to help the people of this country, and some of you on the left laughed at me saying they have done things for this country, and they will continue to do more. Well, I guess that is lost on most of the American people, because now Congress has a lower rating than the President. I did not think I would ever see the day, but it has come. The Libs have found a way to screw up a good thing, and tick the American people off before they could even do anyting to get on their good side.<br /><br /> I have said many times before on this blog that the American people did not vote for the Dems to take control because they hate Republicans, it is because the Republicans needed to be shown a lesson, I just hope they have learned that lesson.<br /><br /> The Democrats are racing around trying to get something done to show the people of this country...and the next thing will probably be an immigration Bill that the President will sign because he is weak and sad on this issue. He will give the Dems what they want, and make them look good in the process. It will make them look like they reached across the isle to work with the President, and in turn the ratings will go up.<br /><br /> I am no idiot, I know how this game works. The Libs are right where the Republicans want them...now it is time for the fight of a lifetime on Immigration. The TRUE Conservatives should go to the President and make ure he veto any immigration bill that is not tough enough. That means....<br /><br />1) Close the border down completly. No one can get in anytime they feel like it. If they want in, they come in the way everyone else has to...no matter how long that takes them.<br /><br />2) Make sure the people who are in this country illegally are found and shipped out. This may not be possible, but it is probable. You will never find them all, but if they want their benefits, they will be somewhere...that is for sure!!!!<br /><br />3) The bill must state that people who entered this country illegally will be put to the back of the line when it comes to getting a chance to come back in. There are people who wait years to come to this land legally, and there is no way it is fair for others to wait because we have a flood of illegals invading our shores! And do not fool yourselves, this is an invasion!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-2431525596426967533?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-65291643437404348012007-05-15T12:41:00.000-04:002007-05-15T12:43:44.085-04:00<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><p class="pressHead"><br /></p><p class="pressHead"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><b></b><h1>Another Liberal Flip-Flopper<b></b></h1></span></p><p class="pressHead">GEPHARDT REVERSES PRIOR SUPPORT FOR GENOCIDE RECOGNITION TO SERVE AS FOREIGN AGENT FOR TURKEY</p></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="http://www.anca.org/assets/spacer.gif" height="5" width="10" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><p class="pressSubHead">Pallone, Schiff, and Eshoo Alert their House Colleagues of Gephardt's Past Support for Armenian Genocide Resolution</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="http://www.anca.org/assets/spacer.gif" height="18" width="10" /></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="mainBlack" height="30"><b>WASHINGTON, DC -</b> Former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, who recently closed a major deal to serve as a foreign agent for the Turkish government, has already begun lobbying on behalf of his new client against the very same Armenian Genocide Resolution that he once vigorously supported while a Member of Congress, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).<br /><br />Gephardt's sharp departure from his principled stand for Armenian Genocide recognition was highlighted this week in a Dear Colleague letter circulated to all Members of Congress by Representatives Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the Co-Chairman of the Armenian Caucus, Adam Schiff (D-CA), the lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, and Anna Eshoo (D-CA), the only Armenian American serving in the U.S. Congress. In their letter, they wrote: "Former Majority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) is now employed by the Turkish government to dissuade Members of Congress from supporting H.Res.106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. But in 2000, as a Member of Congress, he wrote to Speaker Hastert urging immediate floor consideration of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, claiming ‘this issue requires little if any additional deliberation by the House.’"<br /><br />"Armenian Americans appreciate Representatives Eshoo, Schiff and Pallone alerting their colleagues that the same Dick Gephardt who is now on the Turkish government's payroll was - during his long tenure as an elected official - a principled supporter of the Armenian Genocide Resolution," said Aram Hamparian, ANCA Executive Director. "We are all saddened by the spectacle of Dick Gephardt - for the price of a lobbying contract - publicly compromising his own integrity and, even worse, seeking to prevent a broad, bipartisan Congressional majority from voting on this long overdue human rights legislation in order to appease Turkish threats."<br /><br />As noted in the Dear Colleague letter, in September of 2000, Gephardt had joined with Sam Gejdensen, the Ranking Democrat on the International Relations Committee, and Frank Pallone in urging the Speaker at the time, Dennis Hastert (R-IL), to schedule an "immediate" vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The three legislators stressed that, "Armenian Americans communities throughout the nation have waited long enough for Congress to recognize the horrible genocide endured by many of their predecessors."<br /><br />As a member of the House, Gephardt cosponsored legislation recognizing the Armenian Genocide, as recently as H.Res.193 in 2003, and dating all the way back to H.J.Res.192, more than 20 years ago, during the 99th Congress. In 1998, he offered remarks at the ANCA Armenian Genocide Observance on Capitol Hill.<br /><br />To read the DLA Piper profile of Dick Gephardt, visit:<br /><a href="http://www.dlapiper.com/dick_gephardt/">http://www.dlapiper.com/dick_gephardt</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-6529164343740434801?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00867056291704003045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-65636417614540463132007-05-15T04:22:00.001-04:002007-05-15T04:22:41.848-04:00<p class="blogSubject"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Many topics here to discuss..... </span><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewCategory&FriendID=51504351&BlogCategoryID=17"></a> </p> Wow, where can I begin to even start with the day in news. Not a lot of REAL big news going on, but there was somethings that are worth putting in a blog tonight. As some of you may know, I am a true believer that something must be done about Iran's nuclear facilities before anything else can be done by them to harm the world.<br /><br /> Plus, I know this will be a heated debate: GAS PRICES!!! I do n ot know how many of you drive on a regular basis, probably many. I have some thoughts on this issue as well. Plus, look at the abortion blog in the morning. It will be updated a little.<br /><br /> The most important thing, I believe, on the minds of Americans right now is the rising price of gas. It has become something that it never should be, or never should have, which ever way you want to look at it. Yes, we can sit here and compare our price of gasoline to the price they pay in Europe, but I do not beoieve that does us any good here. We are not Europe. We are a nation that is depending way to much on others to give us our oil, and that will be our downfall at some point. The Environmental wackos have gone so far as to make sure we do not drill anywhere in Alaska, no matter what promises we make to them about being safe. And to top it all off, there has not been a new refinery built in this country for over 30 years! With all of that going on, how is this country ever going to get out of the world oil market and back to making and selling our own forms of energy. It does not even have to get to the point yet where we are running cars off of, ohh lets say, PURE ethenol. Yes, it would be nice to have these other types of energies work for us, but I do not believe that is the answer in the short term. The answer is get our own, so we do not have to depend on others, who may or may not be our friends to begin with.<br /><br /> We are playing a dangerous game here, and it just does not seem to be getting any better. Who knows if it ever will get better. All I know is that there are Americans that are troubled by the rising gas prices, and something needs to be done about it. It is almost the summer driving season, and by that time all of the nation will be paying over 3 bucks a gallon for gas...if you live in California...I am soooooo sorry! I really feel bad for you! But there is a reason for all of this, and it can all be traced back to the environmental people that are pushing for new regulations every single day. I am sorry, I am all for making the environment better, but these people have crossed the line into insanity. No steps that are taken are ever good enough for them, they always want more and more control over what you put into your car, and for that matter what kind of car you should drive. Give me a break, and let me drive an SUV if I want to drive an SUV. I am not hurting you, you will not die in 3 months because I have a big car! Get real, and face the reality that the environment people have more on their minds than just saving people from what may come out of your car when you are driving. These are the same people, by the way, who come make speeches about driving gas guzzling cars, then drive off in their Limos or Hummers! They al know where they can put their Hybrid car!!!<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">IRANIAN THREAT...MY THOUGHTS ONCE AGAIN</span><br /><br /> This issue is a never ending story. I have not written to much about this issue since the sailors were let go by the Iranians. But I believe it is one of the most important issues this country has, as far as National Security worries go at least. They are sending weapons into Iraq, and we do nothing about it. The President will not even stand up and say anything about it. The whole Administration must feel it is a mott point, but I do not believe it is. Something has to be done about the Iranians, and it must be done very soon. They are getting more powerful by the day, and when they get the bomb the dealing is all but over. They do not want to deal with us or anyone else for that matter. They want nothing more than what Hitler wanted, a world controlled by his people, no matter what it took. We now have a new Hitler on the scene, and he is the President of Iran! We have sat here for years and let him walk all over the United States for reasons we will just never know.<br /><br /> And just before I started writing this blog, I read a story from the New York Times online that says the IAEA has concluded that Iran has worked out most of the tech problems they had with enriching uranium, so mor can now be processed by the rouge regime. This puts them right near the capability to build a nuclear weapon. Why would be let this happen? Why would the world want any part of a nuclear Iran? There is a very simple answer to this question!<br /><br /> THE LEFT HAS SCARED THE RIGHT!!!! That is it in a nutshell, folks! The left has been against the war in Iraq for so long, and has tried to make peace with the Iranians, the people with any power on the right are afraid of what might be said if the President actually did strike Iran. It is sad, really. The President is looking at his poll numbers and think they matter to him right now. He will be gone out of office soon, and if he does not do something to try and break up what is going on in Iraq right now and put the Iranians down, we may all be in trouble...real big trouble.<br /><br /> Since there are more people in this blog now, I would love for a debate on both the issues I have wrote about tonight! Hope you like, and I will be back soon with more!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-6563641761454046313?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34864088.post-88340055884016684172007-05-12T13:26:00.001-04:002007-05-12T13:26:27.748-04:00There is no doubt in my mind there is right and wrong in the world today. Bad things happen every single day. Just turn on the news, and you will see that no matter where it is in this country, someone either robbed a bank, killed someone, kidnapped someone, or shot up a school. Of course, there has been evil in the world ever since the beginning. But that is really not what I want to talk about today. What I really want to get out to you people is the actual meaning of right and wrong. No dictionary can tell you what it REALLY means to each and every one of us.<br /><br /> Every single person, I believe, wants to do right, or right a wrong if they committed it. Yes, there are the crazies out there that do not care what they do to hurt others. They are the minority, and mean nothing to you and I! They will get what is coming to them. They are rats, and deserve to be treated as such.<br /><br /> What has happened this week in my blog is an example of something totally wrong to do. I run this blog saying I want free debate, but on the other hand there is no way I can overlook the hatred that has overtaken the blog in the recent weeks. I am hoping that hatred is gone, and gone for good. Like I have said many times in the past, I am here to write and get my voice heard, not pick fights with people that have no intellect what-so-ever! It is a waste of my time, and also a waste of the readers that actually want to read something worth while!<br /><br /> Having said that, why is it not more custom to be civil anymore? I do not mean we all have to come in here and get along, and sing a show tune together. I mean listen to each others comments and respect them for what they are, their opinions on a certain subject. No one in here, Republican or Democrat, believe they can get someone to change their way of thinking. Once someone is set on something, that is what the believe. (Except for Rudy Guliani, who does not know if he is for or against abortion on a daily basis...but he is not in this blog, so I guess that means nothing)<br /><br /> It has never been about left or right for me in my writings. I write what I feel, and that is what I feel is right. Others may think I am wrong, and that is fine with me. That is called debate, and I love to have it. But sometimes, there is a right and a wrong way of doing things, and the past week we have seen the wrong way of debating with others.<br /><br /> Here is my point: If the person who wrote the comment would have been called a Nazi for supporting President Bush and the war efforts, would that person in turn also be mad and upset they were called a name that is catogorically untrue? I believe so, and I believe I would have had to do the same thing I did, just for a different person.<br /><br /> I really do not want to go into another blog about what happened, I was just using this as an example, because it goes straight to my point.<br /><br /> Your ideas, no matter if I agree with them or not, are not the only ones out there. That is why thousands of people online write every single day, thinking they may have the next bright idea for a solution to the worlds problems. I am NOT one of those people. I may offend some with the wording I us at time, but that is only because I feel passionate about that I write. There is a line in the sand though, and people cross it sometimes. I hope I have not been one of those people.<br /><br /> I guess the moral of the story is trying to do right is hard, but it is the best. What I have done in this last week to make this blog better was right, in my opinion.<br /><br /> But before I end this blog, there is another aspect of right and wrong I want to loom at, and that is every day life. Forget about the blogs and being PC for a minute. How about every day when you go to work, to school, or where ever you go. Is it easier not to be nice to people, because if you fake it they will hate you later? I beloieve it is easier to tell people a lie than it is the truth. But that all goes back to right and wrong and what we are lacking as a society today. There is no truth to people anymore. They lie to get out of anything and everything. People who have money do not want to go to jail, because they feel they may have done wrong, but they are not as low as "common folk". (refering to Paris Hilton) The right thing to do would be to go to jail and serve your time like anyone else would have to. But she feels she is above any law this country can make, and that is a theme running through Hollywood, or anyone with a big bank account for that matter.<br /><br /> We have put some of these celebs on a pedastool, and told them they are allowed to do wrong, as long as we can read it in the Tabloids the next day.<br /><br /> I feel this country is loosing its goodness. People are fighting all over the place for no reason but to fight. There are people that will change their positions just to start a fight with someone they once agreed with. There is no personal attachment to political candidates, because we all have the same feeling about all of them....they are corrupt and no good! The political system, which we use to elect GOOD people to represent us in the Nations Capital and other parts of the country and world, has become nothing but another money making machine where if you want power, you better have the money to fight off the people with the HUGE bank accounts. This is politics, right or wrong, it still is. There is no room out there for a person with little money to run for President or Congress. I am sorry to say that, because I bet you that the people with very little money would get this country running the way it should in a matter of months, not years!<br /><br /> On the other hand, "Absolute power corrupts absolutly". So, the middle class Americans who may have a chance to win may fall for the same things their predecessors did! This is one of the things that really scares me about getting invovled with politics. I am a good person, in my own opinion, and I would try to do my best to help whatever branch of Government I would be asked to. But there is always those people who will come after you to pull you down to their level. I have seen it. I have seen many good, honest people run for political office, and when they get to Washington, it i like they were a whole different person.<br /><br /> This blog went through a lot of right and wrong, and something that have nothing to do with right and wrong, but still was on my mind and I did not feel like putting into another blog. As a nation, we need to start thinking about what is going to be the best way to move forward in the future. I believe it will be a political system that is not run by the special interest groups on both sides of the isle. I believe it will be by everyday people like you and me. The only problem is we need to get an everyday joe intheir that knows his stuff, and make sure that person does not fall under the spell of power. Then and only then will we see the improvement of the country as a whole, and open debate from all sides will continue to grow!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34864088-8834005588401668417?l=doctomrod.blogspot.com'/></div>Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512739873624738189swd112083@gmail.com0
