A.W.O.L.

Yes, May is almost over and I havn't posted since about this time in April. So sue me. LOL. Life has been getting trying what with the ever advancing path of my music career which has grown to include traveling. That does tend to absorb a lot of your free time. At any rate, I hadn't been blogging but instead was able to devote my computer time to finishing yet another chapter in my political novel, When Monkeys Run The Zoo. (Duh, Of course it's about Liberals.)

I also have just joined up as a co-writer on another blog which I link to on my list, The Life and Death of a Cubs Fan, on a trial basis. It may become permanent pending how things go. I hope it gets readership on both blogs to go up. If you hadn't already checked it out from my list, do so at this point as you may miss a few good rants of mine if you do.

On a final note, I'm going to be reviewing Atlas Shrugged and a few of the Summer blockbusters within a week so check back. Glad to be back aboard guys.

A Robust Rebuttal

As promised in a previous post I am now obliged to answer some of the foul hate-mail that has begun to pour into my inbox since my launch on Blogcrowd.com. It seems for every two supporters there is going to be at least one idiot who decides to come here for no greater purpose than simply to get themselves tizzied to the point of a near aneurysm. I will share with you my favorite letter to date and offer my reply to the writer, who was too steeped in cowardess to even put their name on it.

"Your blog is a nightmare. You are radical, extreme and stupid. You only see things your way. People like you who believe in guns and overthrowing the government are whats wrong with the world today and you are keeping us from having peace anywhere. You are the same warmongers that are keeping us in Iraq. You should all be arrested for treason just from how you talk about your government. You need to learn to shut your mouth."

Where to start, where to start. First of all I would like to comment that if you are going to impune the honor of a writer, have the talent to write a letter that is at least at par with the writing skills of the person you insult. In that aspect, you're sunk already. Now, If you will notice, I do not see things only my way. There are many people with many valid opinions and arguments out there, it's only when we look in the radical Liberal population, the numbers of the intelligent dwindle away leaving only people that may actually one day prove Darwinism as they are surely lacking in enough graymatter to be mistaken for a monkey in mid-transformation.

Now, also, I'm sure you'd love to pin every problem in the world on us freedom activists, however please dont drag gun control issues into the subject of the world being a better place. Take away my gun, I can kill you with a knife. Take away the knife, I'll do it with a rock. Say no to rocks, I'll feed you antifreeze? Outlaw antifreeze.. I'll just do it with my bare hands. Are you following yet? No amount of gun control will ever fix the world so by saying something as stupid as guns being the problem with people, you are only further justifying me when I call radical Liberals idiots such as they are. Stop making this so easy.

By the way, the only people who want us out of Iraq are the criminal insurgents. Everyone else who lives under their iron fist dances in the streets and invites our soldiers into their houses for breakfast because they could prostrate themselves 24 hours a day 7 days a week and never feel like they have thanked us properly for freeing them. And no, it's not about oil either so dont even start that argument. If it were about oil then your gasoline would be 2.76 a gallon. Try tuning into something other than the Communist News Network i.e. CNN sometime.

Lastly, you cannot arrest someone for treason because they state how ungodly inefficient they think their leaders are. Thats called freedom of speech. It was an amazing invention, you should open up a textbook sometime and learn about it. And not one of those modern liberalized textbooks either. Get yourself a good one from back in the 70's. Seriously, is asking for our imprisonment the best you can hope for to keep from having to educate yourself enough to fight us on a serious political level? And you seriously wonder why we are taking our country back?

Well that about covers it. If you are the author of that trash, feel free to grow a spine and step forward here to continue this little debate. Everyone else just keep checking back for updates on this thread and more posts where I will answer one hate-mail a week.

A Learning Experience

Traumatizing, harrowing, life-altering… all words that refer to some kind of act, circumstance or instance that forever changes someone’s life. I thought I knew the meaning of all these words through things that had happened in my life, but I guess as the saying suggests, “And God said HA!”. There is NEVER nothing left to experience.

I had a rather serious problem for which there was only a surgical remedy. I had a growth that was causing some great discomfort and was, unbeknownst to me, also causing irreparable damage to my body. It’s slightly private so I will not add details but let us suffice to say I’m neither sick nor dying and am 100% intact, thank God.

This incident has taught me something very powerful. I first learned a lot about myself. I am not so strong as I like to think I am. I have suffered the loss of nine loved ones, friends and family, in the past and I have not cried. I am the kind of person who feels they must be the unmoving rock, never faltering in their mission to be cold and devoid of emotion. Not to be in any way cruel or unfeeling but to show others that it can be done and to be the rock of Gibraltar that others in dire emotional states must cling to so terribly. For years I’ve been the one who was strong for them. But do you know something? No one was ever strong for me.

That was the ingredient that had been missing. When it hits you, you begin to cry. You cry for the event that sets it in motion and for all the events you had sat idly through that led up to that point. It is an unending, miserable stream of tears when you finally release your grief like it had been the contents of a soda bottle, shaken and shaken until it simply burst, spilling forth its contents in an unholy mess. I was rather a mess really, with the little pieces of myself spilled before me on the floor. What saved me? The second thing I learned about is what saved me. I have loved ones who can be strong for me when I need it and I had them all along.

I always had my family, I just couldn’t see it. Sometimes that is the hardest to see because you feel under such scrutiny by your family that you sometimes feel it best to suffer than to let your guard down in the sights. That is why you turn to friends. I have those too. Close friends. Good friends. The kind that even through bickering, quarreling and shunning each other would rush to your aid because after the smoke clears a friend is always a friend. To one particular friend, who knows who he is, whom was the first I spoke to, thank you most of all. We had vowed to go our separate ways for a week, but in my crisis you found a minute for me. Sometimes crying on a shoulder heals a soul thousand times better than crying by yourself and your shoulder was worth it’s weight in diamonds today.

I suppose it just goes to show you that you can never stop learning, especially about ourselves because we are never the same. Each day we are evolving, changing beings in our thought processes, bodies and souls. We grow a little more every day and sometimes we need to learn to step back and let ourselves have that growth. I know it was a lesson I personally had trouble with. Just mark my words so if you ever find yourself with my problem, you know the solution. You can always learn from yourself and that there will always be a hand to hold within close distance if you just reach out and take it.

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must say to yourself 'I have lived through this horror and I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Settling In

I'm finally moved into my new place and have an internet connection set up so hooray for new blog posts. Today's is just an update however, sort of a short newsletter to the readers. (Later this week I will be taking on some of the hatemail I'm recieving over my blog and trust me that should be fascinating for all the readers.)

I'll soon be posting new pictures including my vacation photos and shots of my new house and neighborhood which I am all too anxious to share with everyone. I'm also planning a new habit, following my upcoming rant, of formally answering on or two hate mails on my blog each week. Every other political analyst does it, why shouldn't I?

In May I'll be giving the blog a little facelift in honor of my Birthday so make sure you are here to see that one, plus you'll be able to see the start of my summer movie reviews. I'm also in the process of reading a scintillating novel called Atlas Shrugged which I will also be reviewing, though that will be sometime this month, not in May.

On an ending note, I urge all my readers to check out a web campaign launched to support Arnold Schwarzenegger in his fight to amend the laws and allow him the right to run for President in 2008.

Keep checking back for updates, folks. Were back in business.

A Sad Day For Americans

Where to start, where to start. Where do you start in circumstances such as these? There is so much to say that you must plot it out so strategically you feel as if you were planning open heart surgery. Terry Schiavo. I’m sure the name is familiar. If it is not, I fear to see the rock you’ve been under for many many years.

Terry and her case have been extraordinary by far in contrast to other cases like it if not only for the public outpouring associated with it. Many people think that Michael Schiavo had the right to let her go peacefully. I however am a believer in the theory that he simply wished to finish what he started in 1990. SEE ARTICLE HERE. I have many reasons to make this assessment which I may discuss in a later blog post.

Terry Schiavo and the fight for her right to life have been the source of great controversy for some time. A time that ended with her recent death, but the applications of this case will live on. It is in these applications that I find the true meaning of this rant. I’m not here to say whether or not I think she should have lived or died nor make a case for or against it. That would be repetitive as I already stated parts of my thoughts and anyone who knows me really already knows what I think.

So what is this rant about? This rant concerns the government. The men who just proved a point that should strike bone quaking terror into the hearts of people everywhere. The point that our governing body has been allotted so much power that they, in a deity-like manner, are able to decide who lives and who dies. They have slowly been gaining their power and now they have reached a point where they are so in control of us that they practically program the masses who subsequently bend like willow branches in the wind to the will of a governing body who has taught them that they cannot think without federal permission.

Sad? Yes. Frightening? Most definitely. We must consider that the last time any governing body had such a powerful, tyrannic grip on our nation we were forced to declare independence and war to fight for our rights which to the people of that day were precious. They remembered what it is that we as Americans stand for and should fight for and they knew that protecting our freedom, keeping the government where it should be in our lives and preserving this nation for the good of the generations yet to come, preserving it for posterity, was a cause worth dying for. Sadly today’s people have become so morally inept, so socially vapid and patriotically deterred that the only thing they think is worth dying for is a pair of shoes on sale or a good hamburger.

We forget so easily that each day we slip further and further from grace and deeper into turmoil at the hands of a government who obviously and so completely couldn’t care less if you were dead, alive or indifferent. You are singular. There is one of you. Thus you mean nothing to them. A single grain of sand can tip the scale by the laws of man.. but perhaps they are beyond humanity? So consumed with the fight for absolute power and political control that they set themselves on a shelf above god for if I am so highly esteemed by man who can touch me?

Yes, it is radical and you can feel free to call me crazy but one day as you watch the country crumble before you remember my words and know you had advanced warning. So many people warn the public that they must stop giving away their rights and tell them to protect them so that they won’t risk waking up one day to find they have no rights left to defend. I just pray I am not alive to see that day because I love this country so much that I would die of a broken heart just watching. It breaks my heart now and it ever will.

Terry Schiavo’s case is only the beginning. There will be more like her and each time we give the government another piece of our freedom, our rights our power to choose, we also unwittingly give them a tiny piece of our soul. Remember this. Pray for Terry’s family, pray for our country and say a little prayer for yourself tonight. The day may come you’ll need it.

"Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." -Psalms 28:1

I'M BAAAA-AACK!!!

Ok, Here I am, back from my cruise and ready to tell you all about it. It was FABULOUS. I have discovered that Tortola is my favorite island if not simply for its yet unspoiled tropical island beauty. It stole my breath away. Tortola's Norman Island is the setting for the classic Treasure Island and it seems to awaken something in the senses to stroll over the grounds spoken of in the book. That sense of adventure that almost wishes being there would just pop you into the middle of the story itself. Alas, reality sucks. LOL

In Nassau my mom bought my birthday present which I got to pick out. Its the Australian opal bracelet I always wanted. It was 75% off at Columbian Emeralds so it was a steal. I can't wait until May so I can start wearing it. Australian opals are great because they feel like you are bringing a little bit of that Caribbean ocean home with you because of that deep blue and green fire in the stones.

The beach at Half Moon Cay was just like I remembered it. The sand was white as snow and felt like baby powder and the water was azure blue, even where it was only inches deep. There isn't a more lovely beach on Earth. Though, I confess that sitting on the beach being served fishbowl sized margaritas by a waiter in a tux may add to my love of the place. LOL

Anyway, the food was great, the entertainment even better. The comedian, Danny Stortz wasn't all that funny and his jokes were very old and done but the magician has me convinced he isn't from this planet. James Cielen was his name and his up close magic techniques were mind blowing. I'd give myself and aneurysm just trying to imagine ways he could have done it. LOL
The highlight of the cruise, however, was the guest singer, world class Elton John impersonator Joel Mason. (See his site here)

Bad news is thay once again Liberals found a way to piss me off. Nothing is sacred to these nutjobs. On my way to the port I encountered picketing enviromentalists screaming that the cruising industry is killing our oceans. They are the enviro-nazi's akin to the ones who would throw paint on a woman in mink. One girl said as I entered the pavillion to start the boarding process, "Don't you care about the ocean?" My response before I turned tail to go on about my business, "Of course. Thats why I'm going on on my cruise now with the other capitalist pigs. Have a nice day." She looked dumbfounded as I walked away but being that she was a Liberal I'm certain dumbfounded wasn't an alien feeling for her.

Nobody ever stops minding anybody elses business for them. Everybody is more than happy to butt into other peoples lives, Liberals being the posterchild case-in-point. They are so busy trying to force feed us their touchy feely bullhockey that they become so lost in unreality that there is no hope for them. Diseased if you will, (see a previous article on Liberalism as a Disease)

This subject brings me to my next rant due for tomorrow. Terri Schiavo. Tune in in twenty-four hours for the next exciting episode of 'As the Liberals piss me off".

I Still Don't Get This...

As I was driving home yesterday, the streets signs in downtown Atlanta were all flashing the same message about a car the police were looking for. We had no idea why until we got home. (Yes, it was on the radio but obviously some DJ's like to talk about blather instead of news.. maybe If we'd been listening to news radio instead of the three hours of 50's music my grandmother subjected us to.. and trust me by the third playing of Cherry Baby I was ready to slit my own throat.. then the station faded out, thank God for small favors.) Anyway, They were looking for Brian Nichols, a rapist who shot four people and killed three making his escape as he was being led into the courthouse. (See Story Here)

How can this happen you ask? Well, there are tidbits released locally that you wont hear anyplace else I'll wager.. well.. perhaps on Fox news as they don't 'blow the sunshine' either. This man, an ex football player, large and brutish by definition, was being lead into this courthouse unshackled by an aging female police officer. It pains me to think that the police force in Duluth, Georgia found that to be a satisfactory arrangement. For God's sake, why didn't they just deputize a few sorority girls and let them march him in. If you ask me they invited trouble. If someone is in prison, no matter what they did, you must take extreme precautions. The mentality of someone in a situation like that can become desperate, as proven today.

To make matters worse, the improperly restrained suspect had been caught only days earlier with a makeshift knife made from a sharpened doorknob. Some people requested heightened security but it was apparently to no avail. How do you not heed warnings like this, especially about a man going to court the second time this time to stand trial for rape, sodomy, burglary, false imprisonment, illegal gun and drug possession? Well, obviously they did, as I said, invite a hazard.. and a hazard they got because after he overpowered and shot the deputy whose custody he was in, he shot the judge, a court reporter and a second cop.

My question here is as follows: If a man just shot three people in front of all those cops WHY DIDN'T ONE OPEN FIRE ON HIM THEN AND THERE. What were these people people doing.. thinking.. as this man proceeded to pistol-whip a reporter, steal his car and drive away merrily into the sunset? It seems to me that this entire ordeal, these lives lost, were all a result of carelessness and human error. This happens all the time, however. Police get shot nearly every day. Why? Why can't people learn from their mistakes. We must stop being so damned liberal. You can't shoot a suspect because he's entitled to a fair trial? Yeah.. until he shoots at you! That means he doesn't want a fair trial, he wants to get away so nab him before he gets away.

There is no room for touchy feely Liberal bullshit where crime of this magnitude is involved. Killers should be treated like killers, rapists like rapists, child molesters like child molesters and the so forth. Spare me the sob story about how we are all people too. Once you do something so despicable to another human it is as if you defied some great unwritten code therefore the laws of do unto others no longer applies. They do it unto us daily, what are we going to do back?

Ronald Reagan once said "I know in my heart that man is good, That what is right will always triumph and there's purpose and worth to each and every life." Ron was right, but not in the way that you think. Man is good as a whole, but not each individual is as good as that whole. What is right can never triumph so long as we continue to forget that not every heart is white as snow and not everyone pities human life. It is the same principle as the water in the Caribbean. The water is blue, a beautiful blue, but if you extract one part, one glass, that part is now separate and no longer blue. It is clear. Different. Proving that though many parts can make up a whole, a whole is only a rounded calculation, a surmisal that the whole is a testimony to each part within it. However each part making up the whole is a piece unto itself. The whole may appear blue, but the water is still clear. Its the way you see the water. Almost an illusion.. an assumption. The water always was clear but you would have to take apart every piece to see that. Do you follow?

People are good as a whole. We appear good as a whole.. blue as a whole. But when you take us apart piece by piece, person by person, you find that each person is not blue. Blue is only the way it appears when you lump it all together and you can't do that. Some people are good.. no.. I believe most people are good.. but some defy the rules. Some just slip by and appear to blend into the overall 'blue' because we choose not to see or accept it. They just get lumped in like students riding the grading curve. We must learn to look deeper than the blue exterior of society to see the individuality, carefully as sometimes it's not all that clear. David Berkowitz, AKA the Son of Sam was a man accepted by his neighbors as a generally great guy. No one bothered to look beyond the 'blue'.

Now, I leave you with this thought. Take time to learn about people individually. Each person is a different soul, exempt from the whole. Never assume you know. As proven in the past, bad things happen when people assume too much.
