THE PRESIDENT IS AMERICAN!!

Alright, it's official.  The President of the United States of America is an American!  Finally, we can put that behind us.  Those of you who know me probably know my stance.  I am not a birther.  Truth be told I don’t consider whether he should be in office a problem, rather I feel the problem is that he is in office.  No I am not a birther, but I do feel that the birthers were asking a valid question that should have been addressed.  A question that could have, and should have, been answered long before today.  Instead, he waited two-and-a-half years to provide his proof¹.

ABORTION = MURDER (VERY GRAPHIC)

The only reason a fetus may not be human is because there are different species of fetus. However, a human fetus is, in fact, as the name suggests, human. For those of you who like to be technical and quote dictionaries, Merriam-Webster defines both embryo¹ and fetus² as “a developing human.” “Developing” being the adjective describing the subject... “human.” Look at the picture to the right. Do you see an elephant? or a fetus? Because it's both. To say it's not an elephant because it has not been born is ridiculous. So if a human female is pregnant, that is a little, tiny, developing human inside her, and when she has it aborted she has had it killed without provocation. We can therefore surmise that abortion is the act of murdering a human. If you have the stomach for it, read on. This is going to get graphic...

BUDGET AND THE DEBT CEILING

I think the best quote from the 2006 Congressional vote to extend the budget ceiling was the following, “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” Too true! Barack Obama nailed it when he said that. Yeah, THAT Barack Obama, y' know the one who promised to cut the national deficit in half by the end of his first term¹. Reid was adamantly against raising the debt ceiling, also². 

THE MYTH OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

So the liberal spin is that the Republicans are going to cause a government shut down. Hmm... The budget Obama wants to pass will put this country $4.5 BILLION further into debt every day. Not $4.5B in total spending per day, $4.5B IN DEFICIT SPENDING PER DAY. I don't care how much you tax the rich... that is unsustainable. The Dems should have been passed THIS budget LAST year. They are Constitutionally mandated to do so, but they didn't.

RACE IS NOT A DISABILITY

I understand that racism exists and that bothers me, but what bothers me more is the Democratic machine that capitalizes on keeping it that way, while asserting that it is the Republicans that are responsible.  Actually, the opposite is true.  Historically, the Democrats have done more to hold back minorities than Republicans.

THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING

On December 13^th, 2010, United States District Judge Henry Hudson ruled that portions of Affordable Care Act were unconstitutional¹. With the lack of a severability clause (which was the result of the Democrats questionable methods of forcing the bill through) this could potentially void all of Obamacare. This fact was reiterated by Justice Roger Vinson who on January 31^st, 2011, stated outright that, “Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void.

SHORT AND SWEET - VOTING PRESENT

Alright, let me start by saying I'm sorry.  I am looooooong winded.  I'm going to work on that.  From here on out the goal will be posts that are 3 paragraphs or less.  The end result will hopefully be a little more feedback (hint, hint) and allow me to cover more topics as it takes a considerable amount of time to write the novelettes I'm currently posting.  So for those of you that stuck it out with me, thanks and hopefully future blogs will be less painful.  With that said... the leader of the Unites States is stepping down!

OIL THAT IS, BLACK GOLD, TEXAS TEA

Did you miss me? I tried to quit blogging. I really did. I can't do it. So here we go again -

Oil. We need it. A 42-gallon barrel of oil produces just over 19 gallons of gasoline. The rest goes into products we use everyday. For instance, those big fat tires on your car contain about 7 gallons of petroleum each. The grand aspirations of the current administration, Al Gore, and countless organizations to break our “oil addiction” will not work.

TIME TO GO HOME

In lieu of a full-blown military retirement ceremony I have opted to write a short missive to you all. After all, there was no fanfare when I began this journey in June of 1988, and I don’t need any on the way out either. Friday will be my last day on active duty that I will not be on permissive TAD or on leave. Essentially, I will be taking off my uniform for the last time tomorrow.

AUDACITY

Taxes irritate me. Not that I don't think they are important. In today's day and age we can't support our necessary infrastructure without them. There are a few things I take issue with though.
