I’m voting Democrat

I plan on voting Democrat so I can pull out my peace beads and love all those that want us to be Muslim.

 

I plan on voting Democrat so I can continue not to work. Why work when the government will take care of me with your money?

 

I plan on voting Democrat so I can dream about my wind powered car… as I push it down the freeway after China, the Russians, and the Middle East control all the oil.

 

I plan on voting Democrat since I love people like Hillary,  and of course I trust every word from Hillary and Bill’s lips.

 

I plan on voting Democrat so I can visit all the golden towers in the middle east that will be built with my $25 a gallon gas money.

 

I plan on voting Democrat for the man on the corner with the “need a little help sigh”can will never have to worry about actually working for anything.

 

I plan on voting Democrat, I could get used to waiting 20 days to see a doctor.

 

I plan on voting Democrat because………………. wait……… hot……….I feel hot.  Is it getting hotter in here? After all if Gore says it, it must be true. 

 

I plan on voting Democrat because I want tthe FREE RIDE. Hell it’s time to stop working, work on my tan, and live off the government.

 

 

I plan on voting Democrat since I want every government form to be written in every native tongue.

 

I plan on voting Democrat because the DMV clerk doesn’t need to speak, or understand English.

 

Patriotism is never part time!

US Open, NBC, and American Express Team Up for Error

The organization at the US Open at Torrey Pines was fantastic.  Lots of restrooms (if you can get past the plastic box we call a restroom), lots of refreshments (prices as steep one would expect a such an event), and plentiful seating in the grandstands around the course. 

So why was every shot by NBC on Sunday filled with someone waving at the camera, jumping up and down waving in the background, and large roars of the crowd when the golfer at the hole the spectator is watching has not even hit yet.

Well a simple answer and a horrible mistake.  Unless you walked around Torrey and cheered your favorites you may have missed the wonderful new toys American Express was loaning out.

Lots of “lucky” fans were provided little multi-channel TV sets that are made to hang around your neck. The fans were provided live feeds from NBC, the first hole tee box, a live leader board, etc., complete with audio.  So, give an average everyday Joe the chance to see himself on TV, provide the means to have real time feedback, and what do you get? That’s right. Tiger Woods hitting into the 5thgreen with etiquette-less fans waving and jumping into the crowd. Rocko Mediate lining up a put on the 15th with fans moving around in the background to see themselves. And my all time favorite, approach shots on every hole around the coarse as fans watching their portable TVs whoop out a “yes!” and doing a fist pump for a well placed shot somewhere else on the coarse.

Some may ask,” does it really matter”? Well, I guess not if you want to continue to let spectator golf crowds gravitate towards ”Happy Gilmore”.  How about teaching everyone the rules of golf, the rules of courteous spectator-ship, and keeping golf what it is supposed to be, a gentlemen’s game (I said gentlemen, not snob).

What about the golfers, does it affect them? I’ll let NBC answer that one for me.  According to their broadcast team Sunday, Tiger backed off of more shots this weekend than during any other tournament.  Do I think that was because of his leg? Not when he stops to regroup after looking someone down. Not when you see people in the camera repeatedly waving and looking down at their portable TV sets.

What to do, what to do.  Easy, lets all let the USGA, NBC, and American Express know that toys on a golf course are a mistake, and like all good mistakes, should never be repeated.

Plus, feel free to put in a plug for Patriotism.  We can all use a gentle reminder every now and then.

Why Would the USA help China?

Here is a thought; There is a person at your gym that you have never met.   While you are working out on the treadmill this person breaks into you locker and steels your money and your credit cards.  When you finish your work out you discover the problem and report it.  What a break, the front desk has cameras in the locker room and shows you who the thief is.  Just then you see this person walk out the front door.  You walk out the door to confront this person just in time to see them get hit by a bicycle.

Do you help the bicyclist or the thief? Would you pay the thief’s hospital bills? Would you provide them comfort? Would you leave your wallet in their room while you go to get coffee?

Why in the world would we send assistance to a country that thinks nothing of stealing information, using their citizens for long term infiltration of the USA, allow patent theft on a rampant basis, and oh yea, becomes a military threat to our freedom.

Is China a threat to the US?  Read AMI Hot News.  No propaganda, just military facts. 

What is the problem? How about the fact that China has been stealing our secrets from Universities, Defense Contractors, and Military personnel for years.  Has this slowed down? Are they our friend now? What is the goal of communism? For the worker to take over the business.  What a great idea, if you live in a society that has no freedoms. 

What can you do? How about relating the fact that China is not our friend, that China is building a naval carrier fleet, that China has outproduced the US in new military vessels for a decade, that China sends civilians to our Universities to steal our economic secrets, that China is working towards control of the oil fields in the Gulf, that China is in a Cold War with the US and most Americans don’t know it?

Chinese citizens are not our friends, why would we send them money that could be used for all the programs that are underfunded in the USA?

Patriotism is never part time!  Support America first!

Are we voting because of White Guilt?

6/12/08  So now that the Democratic Race is over we are left with a choice of two.  One doesn’t follow the parties ideologies, the other is an unknown with ties to racism and Muslims. Great!

It is our right to vote.  It is what our Solders and Sailors, Marines and Airmen have fought for. To pass on the chance is lapse of patriotism.  How can you vote when you don’t care for either?  Well, there are the “other parties” candidates. A snow balls chance for any of those candidates to come to power. Not wanting to waste my vote, I will proceed to support my parties choice.

So what’s with the “white guilt” topic line?  I really just want everyone to do some sole searching about why you would vote for an unproven politician.  Is it because he represents the “change”? Is it because he represents the Democratic Party well? Or is it because you have White Guilt?  Are you going to vote for a black candidate because you want to “do your part” for equality? 

Just remember what one of the men that represents the molding of his values said, ” God Damn America”.  People don’t stray far from their values in everyday life.  And they don’t budge from them in moments of crisis.  Is this our new Commander in Chief?  Is our countries strength worth a vote in the wrong direction?

Just some thoughts.  Remember, Patriotism is Never Part Time.  Think about that on election day.

5/31/08 Does Nationality influence driving habits?

As most American’s were being raised they looked out the car window at the wonders of the world.  We experienced our town, the people, and all of the beauty that makes us proud of our Country. We watched our Mother’s and Father’s, older Sisters and Brothers, and even parents of friends navigate their way through this world.  We learned how to be courteous of others. We learned “fear” of the Highway Patrol. And we learned that those that were a hazard were avoided.

We also compared driving styles.  We say that Grandma drove a lot slower than your older Brother.  We felt our neck snap as our Sister waited until the last minute to jab her foot at the brake pedal. All and all, we figured out who we wanted to drive like and who should be taken off the road, even if they were related.

 

Somewhere in time we introduced the seat back babysitter, more commonly referred to as the seat-back video.  Sure they keep the kids quite; sure they keep Mommy’s level of stress down.  What is the cost? Is the driver actually safer with less stress from the occupied child? What is the loss of future driving skills?  I am interested in your thoughts.

 

When an immigrant comes from a country where driving is not commonplace, what ingrained driving skills do they have? In Italy a driver’s license is about as easily attainable as getting head of the line privileges at the Post Office. Here in the USA we hand them out with basic skills demonstrated one time.  If someone has never seen driver courtesy, how do they use it? What about their car tires? If they have seen cars driven on smooth tires when do they learn that they are increasing everyone’s risk on the road?

 

Is nationality something that should be considered at the DMV, or will this be called racial profiling and dismissed as another attack by assigning labels?

 

In future post’s I’ll share my thoughts on these questions.  I won’t provide my thoughts on a solution until you share your thoughts.
