Obama the Magic Honky
Here (in reference to the Obama the Magic Negro song) is a good example of the goofiness that goes on in this world. Read the story below titled "Ethnic Bias". Why get offended at the term Negro? Doesn't this just mean black? It sure as heck wouldn't bother me to be called white, honky, yankee, etc. Call me what you want as long as it isn't "late for lunch". Where was the big outrage when Palin was called the "white trash" vote? She sure received my vote. I guess that makes me "white trash". Oh, well. Now with this goofy, Obama being the first African American president stuff. Please do your research before thinking this. He is not the first with black blood. Nobody knows for sure that answer. Some say Andy Jackson among many others did. In addition, Obama isn't a whole lot blacker than me. Oh, he may have some black blood in him, but he sure wasn't raised black. He says he is "by racial". How stupid, aren't most of us "by racial"? How, may I ask, is this election so "historic"? People act like he is the Messiah. Sorry, but He was already born over 2000 years ago. Am I against blacks? Not at all, I would have voted for a black woman in Condalisa, Condoleeza (however she spells it) Rice. I would have voted for a black man in Clarence Thomas. The truth is, the liberal media likes to portray us conservatives, hunters, gun owners, Christians, etc. as the scum of the earth. I for one, will not stand for it any longer. I hope you won't either.

Personal Responsibility
Well, here we go again, another administration that is going to fix things by spending more money. I've been studying Obamas "Economic fix" lately. I do try to keep my mind somewhat open (but not too open because then my brains might fall out) but so far I see nothing different. The fix seems to be another round of spend, spend, spend to fix I problem that came from spending, spending, spending. My friends, when are we going to start taking responsibility for our actions? How can this big government that we have let take control expect the people to act responsibly when they don't act responsibly? When is the last time our government has had a balanced budget and even better, a balanced budget that includes paying off some debt? What is wrong with letting some banks go under? What is wrong with letting some automakers go under? What is wrong with letting some airlines go under? What is wrong with letting some people loss their ultra fancy homes? Maybe people will learn something. Government, please save us! We aren't smart enough to rule our own lives! How ridiculous. Yes, I'm sorry if you lost your home, job, whatever. But truthfully, if you did, and you are suffering terribly, it is likely it was because of poor planning and financial irresponsibility. I know, because I've been there. I've been financially irresponsible before. I'm happy to say that I took the lessons and learned from them. I now haven't had debt for over a year. Hard times are not bad for you if you have the smarts to learn from them. Yes, letting the banks fail, automakers fail, airlines fail, people fail, etc. would cause some hard times. So what. In the end it would be better for all. We have let America become a nation of wimps and become the governments subjects. Ever since the Civil War (it was NOT all about slavery as terrible as slavery was, slavery was only one issue and Grant himself had slaves until the end of the war) we have let the government grow larger and larger and "We the People" have become smaller and smaller. My solution: let the chips fall where they may, let people learn from mistakes, let management of banks and large companies learn how to manage responsibly, let government reduce in size, and let private be private as opposed to government controlled and bailed out. Private industry made the country great, not government control. If you just let things be, it will all work out for the better. All our government plans to fix things are only patches. It will all fall further next time. Ben Franklin said something to the effect that we need a revolution every 200 years because all governments become corrupt within that amount of time. Revolution means to turn completely around or a complete change, so lets do that. If we don't fix what we have soon, it will be much worse later. 'Till next time........
