Where Is The Proof?
I would like someone to show me the proof that Iran has or will have, “in the next couple of months”, a nuclear weapon.
I don’t want a news article with quotes that say, “maybe”, I want someone to show me definitive proof.
I am disgusted with what I’m hearing from my fellow Republicans and the lame stream media saying we should just stomp on over and “take care” of Iran.
On what grounds?
WHAT GROUNDS?
They MIGHT have one in the near future? Where is the proof?
Also, let’s play that game, let’s say we all believe, without proof, that they have one.
Ok. And? What about it?
Other countries have them...do we go and attack all the other countries who have them?
We have them. So we can have them but no one else can?
Did Iran make a threat to us? If so, show me where that is. Show me the evidence.
What, Israel might be in trouble? Are you serious? Israel?! Do you know how many weapons Israel has? Please, IF Iran threatened Israel, by the time we got our troops assembled, Israel would level them.
So, again, show me proof that:
a) Iran has or will have, “in the next couple of months” a nuclear weapon and that they aren’t just working on nuclear ENERGY
b) Show me where Iran has threatened us with that nuclear weapon
c) Show me proof that we cannot possibly defend ourselves against that threat AFTER it is made
d) Show me proof that Israel can not take care of itself should it be threatened
Please, explain to me how, exactly, “taking care of” Iran for a “maybe” is going to bring about peace?
And while we’re at it, please show me, exactly, how meddling in to RUSSIA’S affairs is going to be a good thing for us?
AND, please show me proof that if China gets involved, we won’t fuck ourselves royally?
This is all b.s. and fear mongering and people are eating it up.
And also, please show me how us, the U.S. getting involved in “nation building” (what a farce), over the last 60 years has benefited us? Please show me how this has worked?
The argument is, we have to go there and be preemptive. Ok...so for 60 years we have been preemptive.
And yet we STILL GOT ATTACKED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH!
So how the hell did that work out for us?!
Here is what happens when you meddle in other countries for political reasons...learn your history:
Seriously, watch the entire thing. I dare you. Don’t be afraid of the truth.

Going Public
The last time I went against the die hard right, I lost a ton of readers. I find that fascinating considering how they expect everyone to be more open minded and listen but they don’t always sip their own tea.
I still vote Republican, I will never BE a Democrat and I still hold some very right leaning beliefs but to be all or nothing, to be one extreme or the other is not healthy.
Without further ado, I am stating, right here, despite the rhetoric I hear, I am going to vote for Dr. Ron Paul.
“OMG! Serenity! He’s CRAZY! He’s an isolationist! He’ll get us all killed!!!!!!!!! BLERGH!!”
And that’s ALL you hear. You never hear WHY anyone thinks that, you just hear THAT. The main one I hear the most besides “he’s crazy” is that “he’ll get us all killed”.
That is the one I hear the most and that is the one I actually believed in 2007-2008. That was the ONLY reason I did not support Ron Paul back then.
Other things I didn’t like but when I put emotions aside, knew that they were right whether I liked that “freedom” or not. It doesn’t matter if I like it, in the end, it’s about personal freedom and that is how it should be. Otherwise, I’m like a liberal who wants laws for everything I don’t like.
One of the most difficult for me to get over is the legalization of drugs. Ron Paul is very against the War on Drugs. I had a hard time with that. But, he puts it well in this clip:
The foreign policy, let me tell you, the people who insist he’s an isolationist and will “get us all killed”, have done a very good job convincing many people and THAT is where the “Paulites”, as I used to mock them, need to focus when they talk to people about Dr. Ron Paul.
I used to believe that we had to go to the other countries to keep our freedoms. We have to go there so it doesn’t come to us, right? We don’t war on OUR soil! We need to go there and let them know, “We’re here, in your country, try any shit and we’ll pound you in to the sand.”
Sounds pretty strong doesn’t it?
But how would you feel if some other country set up camp in OUR country and did the same? Let’s say it was...China. China comes over, sets up bases all over our country basically stating, “We are here, try any shit with us, we’ll annihilate you.”
How would you feel about the Chinese?
Of course, the Chinese government will state it’s to “keep the peace” but really now...really?
Sure, who gives a flying fuck what other countries think of us. Yah, I’m pretty much in agreement with you when it comes to most of that. Like, I don’t give a flip what some Frenchman thinks about Americans and what they eat or that they are too “prudish” or anything of the sort. The guy’s French...HAHA..who cares.
But when it comes to keeping our people safe, I DO care.
I was in the military. We did our “war games”, we became a unit of people who would die for the other. I get that. I also distinctly remember watching, “Hamburger Hill” in the day room one night, with my fellow soldiers, and the scene where they are getting knocked off left and right made me angry. I was livid. I wanted to jump right in to that movie and fucking KILL! DIE! STOP KILLING OUR PEOPLE YOU ASSHOLES!
I understand the emotions behind it. I do. I really do.
But when you put the emotions aside you start to think logically.
Emotionally, it makes sense to go to another country and stand there, giving a menacing look that says, “I’m your friend...until you fuck with me and then I’ll kill you”.
I used to be ALL for waterboarding and torture. Fuck them! Torture them! They don’t deserve an OUNCE of compassion! They are terrorists and they deserve to SUFFER!
But when you put the emotions aside, you start to think logically.
First of all, we DO have a higher moral ground to stand. We can’t go tramping around the globe insisting that people stop being assholes and then act like assholes ourselves.
NO, I do NOT have pity or sympathy for terrorists. I still think, “Fuck them”, but that doesn’t mean we throw our standards out the window just because we’re pissed. If we are to “lead by example” then we must actually lead by example.
We can’t be hypocrites and demand that others stop torturing while we continue to torture. We can’t demand a stop to assassinations while we continue to assassinate. We can’t be against a dictator when we act like fricken dictators to the rest of the world! “Do it our way or face the consequences”. We can’t pick and choose who we are going to help and leave others to their own devices.
Frankly, I’m tired of going over and “helping” other countries who are ungrateful for our help. I’m tired of losing troops on a war that isn’t a “war”. I don’t think like a liberal and think the war is for oil or to avenge “Daddy Bush”, but I also think we could have gone about things in a better way.
Oh I know, so callous, I don’t care about other people in other countries.
Actually, yes I do. Sure, sitting down and “talking” doesn’t do a whole lot of good at all with some of those idiots in charge in other countries. I’m not blind to that. And yes, getting rid of Sadaam and his idiot sons and getting rid of Osama was a good thing. (Although Osama could have been gotten years ago without all this bullshit.)
But look at us now. We’re in what...Syria? Afghanistan? Yemen? We got ourselves involved in Libya, we’re all over the place.
Put your emotions aside. Seriously. Put them aside.
Do you really think this is going to end well?
I actually think we SHOULD bring our troops home, we should concentrate more on NATIONAL defense, secure our damn borders, for crying out loud, SECURE THE FLIPPIN’ BORDERS, and stop going all over the world telling people to act just like us. Listen, if the people in those countries cannot rise up and help themselves, what good are we?
If we are attacked, oh hell yes we defend ourselves. But why are we cozying up with one enemy to spite another enemy just to fricken fight that first enemy some years later? I know people who act like this with the people around them and I can’t stand it! I cannot stand people who play two sides of the coin. It IS hypocritical, it IS self serving and it IS going to come back and bite that person in the ass later on. It always does. And it will for us, as well.
I am not saying NOR implying that “we got what we deserved” because that’s bullshit. I won’t stand for that kind of talk. What I AM saying is that we have HELPED those people kill us and thousands of innocents. We taught them how to do it! Three thousand people died on September 11, 2001. We taught Osama how to do that! We, the people, did NOT deserve that. Our government taught them how to do it. ULTIMATELY it was the fault of the terrorists, that is where the fault lies. They killed 3,000 of our people. But is it really simply because we are free and prosperous?
No.
And no, I’m not of the school of Susan Sarandon and, “What have they done to us” bleating. I simply believe that we need to concentrate on taking care of our own, RIGHT HERE, and the rest of the world needs to figure it out in their own countries.
Yes, I know, there is a bigger picture. Yes, I know, if we don’t “defend” other countries, the extremism will take over in those other countries until they are all extreme except us and then, they’re going to attack us. I still don’t believe that requires we go over and occupy or “war” in their land. We have an excellent NATIONAL defense, we will be able to take care of ourselves.
Nuclear? Please, no one wins when nuclear is involved anyway no matter what we do. Going over and attacking a country with the means to create nuclear weapons is not going to make us safer. We’re screwed no matter what. UNLESS we focus on our NATIONAL defense.
We’ve had our military in other countries for eons, it seems and yet we have still been attacked on our own soil twice in recent history. Doesn’t seem to be working out so well. Pull the troops, bring them home, secure our borders and concentrate on National defense and we have a better shot.
The other one I hear a lot is Paul’s stance on Social Security.
“He wants to wipe out Social Security!!”
Well, when he calls Social Security a ponzi scheme, he’s right. It is. But he is not trying to do away with Social Security. He wants to give younger people an option to OPT OUT of Social Security. He wants to cut military spending, (NOT defense spending), as well as other spending to support Social Security for the older folks who are on it now. Social Security IS NOT WORKING the way it is now. Should we just continue doing it this way?
People call him, “crazy”. CRAZY is when you keep doing something the same way and expect different results.
He’s not crazy, he’s simply not getting heard. CBS gave him 89 seconds of air time in the debate. Eighty nine seconds.
Well why not? If you silence the man, no one gets to hear what he stands for and it’s so much easier to herd the people in to thinking things about him because, and you should know this from past experience with the media, they are scared of him. It’s not because, “he’s crazy”, it’s because they don’t WANT people to know what he stands for. Man, he’s going to “ruin it” for those people who are making BANK by keeping us in the dark and telling us who to vote for and what to think.
Follow the money trail.
Speaking of which, Ron Paul gets the most donations from the military than all other GOP candidates COMBINED and I believe the number was well over 40% what St. Hope and Change gets. Of all of those who are vying for the candidacy, Ron Paul hauls in the most from PEOPLE! CITIZENS! You and me. NOT special interest groups.
Other things Paul stands for, I HEAR people on both the left AND right saying they want, as well. But Paul said it so it’s not good enough? Why? Because he’s “crazy”? Being a constitutionalist is crazy? That’s what this country was founded on! I’m sure England felt we were “crazy” over 200 years ago, too.
Let’s go down the list of candidates:
Romney. Seriously? Romney? May as well just vote for Obama. Ever wonder why Romney is the darling of the media? He’s a fucking Democrat in disguise. RomneyCare? How is that any different than Obamacare? Oh, sure, he’s going to “let the states decide”. Right. I believe that as much as I believe I’ll wake up a millionaire tomorrow.
Perry. Seriously? Perry? Do we really need to go over some of his latest gaffes? We can’t sit there and mock Obama for saying there were 57 states but not mock Perry for not even knowing the three places he would cut. “Energy” is a difficult word to remember? Or maybe it was a talking point, bullshit, and that’s why he couldn’t remember it.
“But he’s on the campaign trail and he’s tired!”
No slack was given to “The One”, why are we giving slack to “our own”? No, it doesn’t work that way. The fact is, he doesn’t really believe what he’s saying and that is why he can’t remember what he was supposed to say.
But what really riles me up about him is that he thinks it’s A-OK for children of ILLEGAL immigrants to pay “in state college tuition”. Really?! If I go to a state and am don’t make it known that I am there by getting a place in my name, paying my taxes there or my parents paying my taxes there if I was their dependent, somehow showing I’ve actually contributed or my parents contributed to that state FOR A YEAR, I don’t get in state college tuition but he wants to give it to the children of illegal immigrants? Fuck that! Oh, but now see, that means, according to Perry that I, “don’t have heart”. The hell I don’t have a heart. I have a heart for all the other wannabe college students who are here legally, whose parents are here legally. No, he’s too light on illegal immigration.
Cain. Sigh. Does ANYONE understand that 999 plan? And some of the things he’s said lately...boy, sure says a lot about who HE is. People are poor because they WANT to be? WOW! Yes, when I was homeless and starving, it wasn’t because bad timing and shit luck, it was because I WANTED TO BE THAT WAY. Nevermind I had just got out of the military and was in college learning, it was because I wanted to be homeless and starving. What a prick. And is it really that hard for these guys to keep their damn hands to themselves? (I know, it’s allegation....at this point.) He is way too much drama.
Gingrich. Does Gingrich really even take this seriously? I have yet to be convinced.
Sanatorium, no. Bachman, no. That other guy, no.
I sure as hell am not voting for Obama, (may as well vote for Romney if I want more of the same but “feel better” because there’s an R behind his name), so who does that leave me with?
The one who predicted what is happening right now, years ago. He predicted it, they called him “crazy”.
The one who wants to actually secure the borders.
The one who wants to cut out bullshit spending.
The one who wants limited government.
The one who will take a $39,000 (or something like that), salary if he becomes President instead of the $400,000 salary.
The one who wants to bring the troops home and focus on National defense.
The one who wants to follow the Constitution.
The one who wants to clean up shop and get us back to being the country we are supposed to be.
The one who has predicted all of this for years.
The one who has remained consistent.
The one the media tries to block out and mocks.
The one who is not more of the same.
That person is Dr. Ron Paul.
I used to be a die hard Republican. The fact is, THAT was crazy. Ron Paul is NOT.

The Evening Before
Ten years ago, at this hour, most people had already finished dinner, were at home, winding down, relaxing, perhaps watching a game or something entertaining on the t.v. Maybe they were talking to their friends on the internet, sending an email, sharing a joke. Maybe they were sitting at their dining room table, going over the bills, writing out the checks or paying on line. Perhaps they were planning their holiday vacations, booking seats, hotels, or thinking of gifts to buy. Still some may have already retired to bed with a good book, a thriller, perhaps. Maybe some of them were cuddling with their dog, teaching him a new trick, excited to show their friends. Maybe one of them was messaging back and forth to a new crush, butterflies in their stomach about the future.
In other words, 10 years ago, at this hour, everything was normal. Everything felt safe. We still had our innocence.
Little did these people know that in 12 hours, their entire lives would change, and some of them would die. Those who jumped from the Towers...what did they do on their last night on earth? What about those caught on the floors that were engulfed in flames? What did they have for dinner the night before? Did they have a good night? Were they worried about anything? Were they looking forward to the next day, unknowing what awaited?
The people on the flight that crash landed in PA...were they excited about their trip? Did they have trouble sleeping the night before because of that excitement? Were they eager to get back home? Were they going on a business trip that would change things in their life for the better?
What about those at the Pentagon? Were they just starting their job, excited at such a great career? Had they just been promoted? Were they thinking of retiring soon?
What did they do, the night before? Did any of them have a feeling, a slight anxiety, an intuition, a shiver run down their back? Did any of them have a single clue that they had 12 hours to live?
We can never forget these people. No matter their party affiliation, no matter how they were to people, no matter what mistakes they had made, no matter if they were good or bad, these people did not deserve to die like this. No one should have to choose between jumping 80+ stories to their death or staying put and burning to death.
I remember them. I think about them. I think about those on that flight where they fought the hijackers and the sick feeling they must have had as the plane went down. I think about those who were hit, in the direct line of the planes, and hope they didn’t feel a thing. I think about those who raced down the stairs, fleeing towards safety, only to lose, when they were so close. And I especially think about those that were shown, up close, jumping. Those are the ones that never leave my mind. I will never erase the images of the people jumping, some head down towards the ground as they fell, some flailing, some holding things in their hands...those people in those images will stay with me forever. And we must never forget the horrors that those people had to go through, some of them KNOWING they were about to die in a horribly, painful way.
And for all of those who excuse this act or stupidly believe that the government did this, I will never forgive you. And I will never forgive the terrorists nor will I ever forgive that mentality. And I will never forgive those who have the audacity to compare America to terrorists.
But most importantly, I will never forget those people who died on 9/11.

But, See, None Of Us Knew What We Were Talking About
How’s that old Hope and Change going for you, libs?
Look at the stock market fall.
St. Hope and Change has a 26% approval rating regarding the economy.
Who the fuck are those 26%? IDIOTS!
Oh, wait, let me guess, it’s still all Bush’s fault, even after all this time. Hahahahahaha! Some things are so worn out, tired and over used that it becomes almost funny to watch people still hanging on to that excuse.
Face it, you voted for him, you fucked up! We told you! Assholes! Thanks for a fine mess.

Because People Are Sick And They Disgust Me, That's Why
“Oh Serenity, why do you act the way you do?” “You seem so full of anger, Serenity.” “You need to smile more.” “Oh come on, it can’t be THAT bad.” “Why do you always walk around with a chip on your shoulder, why are you so defensive around people, you don’t trust people, why is that?” “You need to learn to trust people, people are good. You think people are bad, you need counseling.”
No. No, assholes, I don’t. The above are things that have been said to me while I’ve been alive, more times than I care to count. Any long, long time reader already knows my history and I’ll tell ya, that history has made my instincts sharp. My instincts, my observations of the tiniest differences, are sharp. Sometimes I can’t even explain how I know, sometimes, I just KNOW. I’ve even written about a specific example of that, in the past. I lost a friend because of my instincts. I lost her when I had no way of explaining how I knew, from the time the guy opened the door to greet us, to the time we were in her car driving home and she asked me what I thought of her new boyfriend...the instinct was so strong, I couldn’t help but tell her. And I was right. And when she saw me again years later, she freaked out and stood there, shaking telling me I was right, OMG, I had been so right, and then told me everything she went through. She remembered a 5 minute conversation we had in the car years earlier...she remembered every word...and it freaked her out. And she didn’t like it. I couldn’t explain it, I didn’t like it either but even though I was right, even though she knew I was trying to warn her, even though she knew I was being a friend to her, the damn best friend I could to her at that moment when she asked me what I thought, she didn’t like that I just KNEW.
I know there are evil, disgusting, sick, perverted, pieces of shit in this world. I know what they do to other people. I know what they do to animals. I know what they do to children. I hate what they do. And it seems there are more and more and more and more...every day, there’s another story and you know what? THAT is why I act the way I do. It’s fucking overwhelming. I cannot live in LA LA Land and pretend none of this exists.
Maybe you can. “You can’t do anything about it, don’t dwell on it.” Bullshit. What the hell do you mean “you can’t do anything about it”, the fuck I can’t, the fuck you can’t, the fuck anyone can’t. YES, you CAN. But the first thing you have to do is GIVE A SHIT. Not just brush it off because it’s too hard to comprehend, or to think about, you have to FUCKING CARE and get PISSED and then you start finding ways to make a difference.
Why do not trust people? Here’s one reason why:
My next door neighbors have a beautiful dog. This dog came from Afghanistan where the guy was stationed not too long ago. This little dog became a sort of pet to the soldiers there and when my male neighbor was getting ready to come home, he wanted to bring this dog home. Not only did he really care about this dog but he had come to find out this dog’s history. This dog had been abused. This dog’s mother had been raped. Yes, raped. By humans. Some sick fuck raped a dog. And this little puppy apparently was there when it happened. And this little puppy, too small to rape, apparently, was beaten, instead.
But the soldier next door, with the help of some people, was able to get this dog home.
Isolated incident? Hardly. Here’s another sick fuck out there....and this is not the last:
Help Needed For Sexually Abused Dog
Yes. Sexually abused dog.
In DeFuniak Springs, FL, Janey is the innocent victim of sexual abuse and neglect. Her desperately sad and pleading eyes speak volumes about her suffering. The perpetrator, Eugene Hickman, 54 years old and a grandfather no less, was arrested after it had been reported by his grandson that he was caught while in the bedroom of their home, naked and on top of the dog.
Hickman didn’t deny that he’d committed this horrible act. In fact, he stated to police that he knew it was wrong and promised not to do it again. But Janey’s body is clear evidence of a lifetime of abuse. While Janey is only 3 years old, she clearly has suffered for her entire life. Hickman was charged with one count of felony animal cruelty, but it remains to be seen if he’ll get anything more than the usual legal slap on the wrist that most animal abusers end up receiving.
Emphasis mine. Fucking Florida...figures. The animals are so mistreated in that state. From cultures that view animals as nothing more than objects, garbage when they’re tired of them to some asinine “religious” ritual that’s all horse shit and even a neanderthal would know it’s horse shit, to dog fighting, cock fighting, abuse, neglect, etc even by those who claim that they “care” about animals. I have never witnessed so many sick fucking individuals as I did in Florida...South Florida, mainly.
See, this piece of shit admits that he knows what he did was wrong...but did that stop him from doing it? NO. Why? Because he’s a selfish prick, that’s why. THAT is what I’m talking about when I say, “I do not like people”. Oh, he’s a grandfather, how nice, what a sweet old man....AN OLD MAN WHO FUCKS DOGS!
Reality is not fun, kids. Reality is pretty harsh, sick and twisted. Why the hell do you think I have the pets I have? Because I realize that reality sucks ass and that if I don’t step up, no one else will. Stop pretending that most important thing in life is which fucking Housewife from NJ or Orange County is going to get in to a bitching contest tonight and focus on what’s real. Start caring about what is really going on. Start having some empathy. Start DOING something about it.
THEN people might understand why I don’t walk around with a vacant look in my eyes and a fake ass smile plastered to my face. And then they can shut the fuck up about me and start focusing their energy on something that fucking matters!
This literally happened not too long ago...a little over a week ago. A co-worker told me she had a friend who had tons of ideas and was good with marketing so I agreed to meet her for the other site I’ve mentioned on here. I need help with marketing. I go to meet her, within a half an hour, all that bitch could do was tell me I didn’t fucking smile enough. I’m not here for tea and crumpets, bitch, this is business and I am looking for ideas. What I am NOT looking for is some dumb hippie bitch telling me that the reason I’m not good at marketing is because I don’t smile enough. Insipid twit. No one can see my face on the internet, dolt!
GOD DAMNIT I cannot stand most people.
Put up or shut the fuck up.

Be Careful When Choosing A Freight Company To Move Your Stuff
Lesson learned and while they may, apparently, not be obligated under law to pay for damaged household items, it is dishonest.
R&L Carriers is a company I will never do business with again. When I first called, I went over every item I had for moving and was told only that I had to put the boxes and furniture on pallets on the curb.
I called later to confirm arrangements and it was at this time that someone finally informed me that I had to “shrink wrap” everything. Went and got the wrap, we tried to wrap it up but it seemed odd. Called back, got another person, told them we didn’t understand. This 3rd call was the first time anyone said to shrink wrap the items TO the pallet. (I’ve never used freight before, I’m just supposed to know this? I asked all kinds of questions in the initial call and even asked, “Is there anything I should know about using a freight company?” This and another issue was never discussed.)
I also asked for a guarantee time, (I called well in advance), I was promised a guarantee time but I did not get my guarantee time. They came three hours late so while it did really screw some things up, at least they came and got it. That is, AFTER I was called several times to tell me that my address was wrong, it did not exist. We verified that they had the correct address, they did, I am standing AT that address as we speak on the phone so CLEARLY it exists. I had even given specific instructions on how to get there but they still insisted it did not exist.
They weren’t even going to come out that day because they were convinced that I didn’t know my own dang address. I told them, AGAIN, how to get there and a driver finally showed up, three hours later, at the address they claimed did not exist.
Stuff was delivered to the other side and one item had been crushed beyond repair. It was destroyed.
What happens when you use freight is that they will pick up your stuff and the stuff of other people along the way. Which means, your stuff can be slammed in to when they are loading other stuff, as was the case with my things. Boxes were ripped, items were dented, the one item was demolished.
Photos were taken, I provided receipt of the item that I had purchased, how much it cost, proof of everything and sent it in. The cost of the item was $340.
They wrote back stating they would pay $7 for the item they damaged. See, they only have to reimburse 10 cents on the dollar even if they destroy your things.
It is totally dishonest and they know it. The items were placed on their trucks in good faith that it would show up on the receiving end in the same condition as it was when put on the truck. They are the ones who destroyed it, they are the ones who need to reimburse.
But they do not care.
R&L Carriers will break your stuff and they do not care one bit about it. So, if you want your things to be tossed around and slammed in to during the transport, go ahead and use R&L. If you want your items delivered how you sent them, use someone else.

That, Right There
That’s what I’ve been trying to say:
Far Rider is neither of a calm disposition, tolerant of fools, nor is he of a forgiving nature. He is convinced that there are an alarming number of homo sapiens that society and modern medicine have made it possible for them to remain among us because they are too stupid to be alive on their own, and they are allowed to remain alive because it is against the law to kill them.
My God I love this guy.
This man epitomizes my view of what America should be. If you have not read him yet, go and read. You will thank me.
Quite possibly one of the best journals out there.

Great Idea, Idiot!
Every day that I live here in Miami, I despise Jimmy Carter more and more.

Going Green
So I was driving around town last weekend, (my weekend), and noticed that the gas prices have jumped up to well over $3 a gallon. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I’ve heard all the blame and all the reasons and all the bullshit and you know what it really is, kids? It’s those prick ass mofos who voted for St. Hope and Change and his greedy little cabinet.
Seriously, think about this for a minute. Al Green Gore really started this whole thing off with his global worming lies. The words, “carbon footprint” are actually becoming mainstream. My God. I actually had a conversation with someone who said, “but I don’t want to do too much as I worry about my carbon foot print and what it will do to the planet”. KILL ME NOW!
Ethanol was pushed, windmills were pushed, “battery” operated cars were pushed...hey, you’ll get a tax incentive!!! Yay! Except the fucking things cost an arm and a leg. No one can afford that shit.
Listen, kids, I, too, do not like to see destruction of our environment and planet. I understand the implications of cutting down precious mangroves along the coastline to erect hotels and what devastation will result because of it. And while I wish to recycle and I do my best not to litter nor do I go out slaying animals left and right for “sport”, I also live in reality. Ok, ethanol, Prius, etc are not affordable. They simply are not. I’ve already heard people piss and whine about how recycling costs too much...although I am willing to do that because it doesn’t cost that much out of my pocket book and frankly, if the stuff can be re-used rather than sit in yet another gigantic landfill, the better, I think.
The problem here is affordability. Now some “greenies”, who do not use their logical minds, actually believe that those who do not ingest the global worming and Prius bullshit, want to drive gas guzzling monstrosities, want to see the ocean and seas become polluted and wish that all the woods were cut down, for our use. If you are one of those and are reading this, you are an utter moron. No one wants to destroy the planet, (except the eco terrorist group, ELF, perhaps), we are willing to do our part as long as it doesn’t mean we have to take out a fucking second mortgage on our homes. Make it affordable, make it make sense, make it actually work.
The envirowheenies need to use their brains, for once, my GOD for once use your fucking brains and realize that some decisions they make are horrendously bad and stupid decisions. “We don’t want the animals to suffer if the oil rig springs a leak, make them drill away from shore.” Brilliant idea, you twats. Look what happened. You didn’t listen to those who said it was a bad idea, you thought they all didn’t care about the animals. You can’t fix a fucking leak if it’s that fucking deep in the ocean without killing MORE wildlife, idiots!
Or, hey, let’s take the retarded bridge they’re building out in the Everglades. OMG. The wheenies have been crying for this bridge for years. St. Hope and Change gets elected, decides he’s going to “create” jobs and wah-lah, the wheenies go their money and now that ridiculous bridge is being built.
What could the envirowheenies have been doing in the meantime? Oh, I don’t know, RESEARCHING, perhaps? Talking to the locals, MAYBE?
The argument: “The bridge will help with the water flow in the Everglades.”
The reality: No, it won’t. Where they are building this bridge makes zero sense whatsoever. First of all, the so called “bird man” did a shitty ass job of tracking the migratory birds and where some birds like to nest in the winter time. REALLY shitty job. Would you like to know how shitty? Exactly, precisely, where they are building the bridge is where all the wood stork and egrets would nest in the winter time. And I mean, exactly. One stretch of the bridge is about a mile long on SW 8th St in Miami. Every year, in the winter, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of wood stork, egrets and what not would flock to the same location, year after year after year, and gather. It was a beautiful site to drive down SW 8th St in the winter and see the multitude of birds hanging out in the trees alongside the road.
But, see, “bird man” came out some time last year and apparently sat for an hour, saw no birds and declared that this area was perfectly fine to start building. Imbecile.
So they cut down all those trees that the birds used. They started ripping up the road, setting up concrete barriers, pouring concrete slabs and pillars for the bridge. And just what the hell do you think happened this winter? All those birds came back and were....confused. ? “Where be the trees?” Yes, for a day or two, they all perched on the concrete pillars for the bridge because THAT IS WHERE THEY USED TO COME IN THE WINTER WHEN THERE WERE TREES. This year? Those birds have already left. Isn’t that fucking nice. And I seriously doubt they are going to come back next year now that they have a concrete jungle with heavy machinery in place of their natural fucking habitat.
Good job, greenies!
Second, when you are working on a road in the Everglades, or in any wilderness area for that matter, you really don’t have to be bright to figure out that animals cross the road. This is what they do. They go from one side of the wilderness to the other, road or not. They don’t understand roads, all they know is that they want to go from this area to that area, over there. So perhaps it would NOT be a good idea to keep up a guardrail on one side of the road, allowing animals such as turtles, alligators, small mammals, to crawl under to pass over the road and then on the other side erect a fucking CEMENT BARRIER. You fucking DOLTS. Do you have any idea how many animals have been slaughtered this way? They go under the guard rail, like usual, cross the road and then “BAM!” “Oh shit...where did that come from? What is that? How the hell do I get to the other side? I’m confused. ?” And while they are trying to figure out what the fuck just happened, along comes a car and >slam!< no more turtle, no more alligator, no more possum. Fucking envirowheenies are really smart.
Third, you want to create jobs, asshole? Fuck the bridge. Hire a team of people to go along the road and clean out the culverts. THAT will help the water flow you insipid fucks. By the time they get done, they will have to start all over. Look at that, a permanent job and it didn’t cost the taxpayers 80 million dollars and didn’t kill off everything that used to live there.
Fourth, has any greenie shit head ever looked at that area? Let me try to describe it to you. Let’s say you are driving from Miami to Naples on SW 8th St. (Also known as HWY 41) On the right hand side is a canal. This is canal built by humans, (Army Corps of Engineers if I’m not mistaken.) There are many culverts as well as water sheds, (I guess they’re called), where Florida Water misManagement releases water in to the Everglades based on their calculations. (It used to mean sending a van of college interns to measure the water at various culverts and report back..now they’ve gone all high tech and have solar powered instruments that read the level and report back via computer system. Wheee!) If they feel one side has too much and the other side too little, they’ll either release water or hold it back depending on which side is more deserving, according to them. What this means is that in the winter time, the north side usually gets flooded and the south side has either very minimal water or is bone dry. Because the people who work at FL Water MISmanagement are morons.
Now, along the right hand side, just above the canal is a....wait for it....levee. So just how the fuck is a bridge going to help shit if there’s a) humans running the water flow show and b) a fucking levee holding the water from the north side to the south side? HOW?! EXPLAIN PLEASE!
Oh, let me guess...tear down the levee? Can’t. You see, there’s Mickosukee Indians that live on that right hand side. They have homes there. A casino. You cannot fucking tear the levee down. So all this bridge is, is an envirowheenies wet dream and all it has done is destroy the Everglades. And you and I get to pay for that. You don’t live in FL? That’s ok, I have to pay for a fucking dog park in CA that I’ll never use...thanks to St. Hope and Change. I’m so fucking proud of my fellow humans.
Anyway, this illustrates that the greenie footprint idiots do not think. They keep trying to ram this shit down our throats but if we say, “Now, wait a minute, if you do this, you’ll actually cause more damage to the environment”, they don’t want to hear it. They think you want to keep on destroying the earth. Because they are idiots.
So, gas prices. They are going up and up and up and up and up. Why? Is it because of the BP oil spill? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO! It’s NOT. Is it because of the war in the middle east? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO! It’s NOT.
Do you want to know what it is? I’ll tell you. It’s because those fucking idiots who are shoving carbon footprints and greenhouse and global worming and dying planet down our throats realize that indeed it IS too fucking expensive to buy a Prius or other bullshit car or build windmills or whatever. So what have they decided to do to fix that problem? Find a better solution? Find a way to cut costs? Find alternatives?
NO!
They’ve decided to make gas and oil as fucking expensive as humanly fucking possible so that one day their way of doing things won’t seem so outlandish in price. See, if we keep the gas and oil prices down, no one is going to buy in to that bullshit about being a greenie. Except morons. And they’ve realized that the majority of people are either a) NOT morons or b) can’t afford to BE morons so they keep pushing the prices UP. That way no one will want to buy gas or oil. We will stop being dependent on gas and oil because we cannot afford it.
Well hey, ho, here comes Al Green Gore with his fucking solution! Buy this car, use these windmills, use this battery, use solar power, blah blah blah because it will, eventually cost less than gas or oil. Not because gas and oil really IS that expensive, but because they want to line their fucking shitty assed political pockets, making them filthy assed rich and continuing to pull the strings on us puppets.
And we are so fucking stupid, we allow them to do this because some of us actually believe that what they are asking us to do is good for the planet. I am speechless to how stupid people can be. But I’ve learned, over the years, hell even at my work, if someone repeats something often enough whether there is any truth behind what they say or not, people will believe it. It can be the most ludicrous thing anyone has ever heard, make no sense whatsoever but, repeat it enough, the sheeple will believe. And those who keep repeating the lies are leading everyone to the slaughterhouse.
It slays me that people think we have evolved so much. “Oh we are so much smarter than people back in the olden days. Look what they believed back then! I would never fall for something that stupid!”
Kids, we still have snake oil sellers...and people still buy their product.
We still have townspeople who will turn on their neighbor and call them a witch and those accused are burned at the stake.
We are still just as fucking stupid as we were in the beginning. We never, ever learn from history. Ever.

This Town Is All Jacked Up
Some time ago I wrote about trying to help a guy who was in his car, at the stoplight, having a seizure and how all these people drove by, no one bothered to stop and help, (except, finally, two other people going the other direction), and those people were all laying on their horns, all pissed off that they had to go around this car. I thought I severely loathed this city then.
I see a lot of incivility in this town, absolute rude, selfish behavior that has no word to describe it but what has happened recently here is....well, it’s just fucking evil.
A man was walking in his neighborhood, was struck by a car, the car did not stop and did not call anyone to tell them what had happened. The man was lying in the street, still alive, but injured. That’s pretty damn bad, isn’t it?
Would you like to know what is really bad?
Car after car after car after car after car DROVE RIGHT PAST HIM OR AROUND HIM and not one fucking soul bothered to stop and check on WHY THE FUCK IS SOME MAN LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, NOT FUCKING MOVING!
Man Left To Die By His Fellow Selfish Piece Of Shit Humans
At long last, one lady took a good look and stopped. She was the ONLY person to stop. Because no body else could be BOTHERED to fucking help someone else besides them damn selves, this guy eventually died of his injuries in the hospital.
Fucking selfish ingrates. Useless, worthless, wastes of oxygen. As far as I’m concerned, every single one of these pieces of shit should be prosecuted. Who the FUCK drives right by someone LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET and doesn’t bother to help? WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS? And some of them had to maneuver their cars around the guy so CLEARLY they were aware that this guy was there. But none of these useless pukes could take a moment out of their “oh so busy and important” lives to help a fellow human being?
REALLY!?!?!?!?!!!?!?
I hate this fucking town. I hate it more and more every day. Fuck this shit hole. Miami is a cess pool of worthless trash. Greedy, rude, obnoxious, loud, arrogant, snotty, selfish, impatient, demanding, lying, cheap ass mother fuckers who all have a sense of self entitlement.
This town totally and completely sucks ass. Do not ever move here.

The American Dream
Grow up, study hard, work your way to the top, buy a piece of land and put a house on it. Damn that sounds nice doesn’t it? How wonderful it would be to own a piece of land, private property, YOURS!
That was the old America.
In our new, socialist/communist, “for the common good we’re going to tax you up the ass”, mecca run by a bunch of psychotics, private property-land ownership isn’t so grand anymore. Why? Because you don’t actually “own” it, now do you?
This Grass Is Your Grass....No, Actually, This Grass Is Our Grass...
Officials in the Livingston Parish village say, the tall grass is not only a public nuisance, it’s a crime.
No wonder I can never find a damn cop when I need one. They’re out there capturing the REAL criminals!
Village police will be keeping a close eye on the unweildy weeds.
(Nice spelling there, did you learn that in journalism school?) I find the term, “Village police” to be very disturbing.
If the grass gets above eight inches, the resident gets a letter. From there, unruly land owners could face a fine of up to $500 or up to 60 days in jail.
Sixty days in jail for tall grass. Sixty fucking days in jail for tall grass.
“The prisons are overcrowded”
“The cops don’t have enough manpower”
“When seconds matter, the cops are only minutes away”
Sixty days in jail for tall grass.
“This land is not your land, this land is our land, and we will govern, with an iron fist, man....”
So...if I decide not to blow the leaves off of my patio for weeks on end, am I committing a crime? I’m sorry, I haven’t received my indoctrination booklet from our overlord yet.

Life Imitates Art
Several reasons I don’t like to fly and will avoid it at all costs. Mainly I don’t like being cramped up in a small space for hours on end; I get claustrophobia. I also have a hard time trusting every person who works on that plane from the beginning of the build to the maintenance to the pilots. Years ago I was a courier in Seattle and often times I would deliver parts for a certain large company, well known throughout the world. I cannot possibly tell you how many times I would walk in to those facilities and one of the following two things would happen:
a) Most of the people I saw were on break and refused to assist in any way when looking for column D3 because they were too lazy or had absolutely no idea where column D3 was located. And I am not kidding in the slightest when I say that one time, I had a package to be delivered to an individual at column D3, was having a hard time finding it, (and it’s exhausting walking around these huge buildings), I asked for help from someone I saw eating a sandwich, he stated he did not know where column D3 was located, I walked and walked and walked and walked and finally, I found column D3. It was right next to the fricken place sandwich eater was sitting. You’re fucking kidding me, right?
b) I would hand over the part, they would sign for it and throw it on to a conveyor belt. Not place it there, not gently put it down, throw it. In fact, they made jokes about the sound it might make and how it was actually the company’s new name. ("That’s why we call it ‘Boing!’”, they would chortle.) Yah, how nice. I’m delivering a part to put on an aircraft and these twats are throwing them around without a care in the world.
Some years ago there was a plane crash off the coast of California. It was coming back from Mexico, had a stop at LAX and was going to continue on to Seattle. The plane crashed in to the Pacific Ocean-I can’t remember if it was shortly after take off from LAX or before landing at LAX. It was on the news all over in Seattle because there were a number of Seattle residents on that plane. Come to find out that the cause of the crash was a faulty part and that someone who knew about this had tried to warn about this faulty part for quite some time. He was let go, called a “whistle blower” and basically ostracized. They gave this guy a bunch of shit and he was right. But no one wanted to fucking do anything about it until after the plane crashed.
I’m supposed to trust these people with my life?
I’m not really concerned about terrorists, to be honest. Sure, I don’t want any of them on my plane but I think that if I’m going to die anyway, I would do something like those guys on the plane on 9/11. People say, “You don’t know what you would do, you would probably sit there, scared and not do anything.” HA! Have you fucking met me?! The hell I would. I’m not going to sit by and let some sand nit dictate how I’m going to behave before dying. If I’m going to die anyway, I’m going to fuck up their plans. People focus a lot on the firefighters and police and such with 9/11, (yes, they were also heroes, don’t misinterpret what I’m saying), but I think more focus should be put on those who took down the terrorists in that plane. They died anyway but damn, people, they died trying. That’s a hero. Those are the kinds of people little kids should be looking up to when deciding how they are going to act in life, not the over paid sports celebrities who are always getting caught doing something stupid or illegal.
Anyway, the final thing that keeps me from flying is the airlines and TSA themselves. They’ve been coming up with some pretty stupid rules lately, ("your hands must be in view at all times for the last hour of the flight” oh fucking shut up), but what really grinds my pepper is the new charges they keep piling on that never used to be there. We’ve already spent hundreds of dollars on a ticket and any special requests or extra baggage we have; and that’s fine. But no, I’m not paying extra to carry on a knapsack, having a snack, meal or drink, (non alcoholic), or to use a blanket or pillow. That’s total bullshit. They’re looking to make up costs but they’re looking in the wrong places. Find out what is driving people away from flying not charge them up the ass for every last thing.
I used to love flying when I was younger. I thought it was thrilling and I remember on my very first plane trip across country at age 14, I could not wipe the grin off of my face. Now? It’s only if there absolutely, positively is no other possible way to get there that I will fly and even then it’s going to take some serious thinking. The airlines have been trying to make all kinds of money in these ridiculous charges left and right when what they’ve done is completely lost my business. Instead of granting me a fucking carry on, free of charge, they get no money from me at all.
This may be funny right now but these guys have a knack for coming up with things years earlier that comes out to be a little true, later on:
I think I’ll enjoy my car, instead.

Since People Only Read The Headlines...
I’m sure this will get a serious spin in an effort to make Democrats look good.
Unemployment rate falls in 39 states in June
“OMG! Like, really?! Take that you evil Rethuglicans! You said that St. Hope and Change and their ilk were doing harm to this country but look at those numbers! When did HaliburtonBush do anything like this?! Maybe you should take a backseat and let us Dems run the show, we know how to do it, idiots.”
Yah. So, let’s get to the rest of the story, mmmkay!??
The unemployment rate fell in most states in June, mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted. ~emphasis mine
Er, yah. Now it doesn’t sound so damn peachy anymore does it? They GAVE UP looking for work because there ISN’T ANY WORK. Mr, “I’m Going To Bring Thousands and Thousands of Jobs to the American People” has failed. Failed!
I’ve been unemployed before and you know what? I never had to try that hard to find work. These people gave. up! That is NOT a good sign.
Fewer states saw job increases, the latest evidence that the economic recovery is slowing.
What economic recovery? Foreclosures, companies going under left and right, companies being taken over by the government, (my God), exactly what economic recovery are these windbags talking about? There hasn’t been an economic recovery. It’s been shit and continues to be shit. Some people are in denial, yes, spending money they don’t fucking have but overall, there is no recovery. I work in the tourist industry. There IS NO economic recovery. That’s one of the first places to look at how well the economy is doing and it ain’t doing well at all.
But only 21 states saw net job gains in June, the government said. That compared to 41 the previous month and is the fewest this year.
The decline in job creation reflects the layoff of thousands of temporary census workers. Those jobs inflated total payrolls in May and then reduced them in June.
The temporary ‘up in my personal business’ census workers inflated the numbers before but now that they are no longer needed, the numbers are back to accurate. And the census workers can kiss my ass, by the way. Twice they knocked on my door this year and once I told them to go fuck themselves and once I ignored them.
Still, the report also indicated that businesses aren’t hiring many new workers. Nationwide, private employers added a net gain of only 83,000 jobs last month. The national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5 percent in June from 9.7 percent the previous month, as about 650,000 people stopped looking for work.
No, businesses are not hiring new workers. My boss wants to hire two more people, at the least, but he won’t right now because the tourism industry is feeling the brunt of the “economic recovery” that doesn’t exist. Yes, it is normally slower in the summer time, yes but it’s much slower this year than it has ever been in the years I’ve been working here. People are not spending their money. We still do ok but we shouldn’t be looking like this until September. That’s when our “slow” season is supposed to be. Not April, May, June, July and August. So, until it picks up again, he won’t hire the two more that he wants to hire.
The economy is not recovering. People are not spending their money. Too many people are out of work and hardly any new jobs are being created. It’s so bad that people give up looking in 39 states. Shall we continue shoving our heads in the sand just so we can save face for voting for a reckless piece of shit in to office or shall we begin to face the truth? And I don’t see it getting better for some time.
Whatever job you do have, hang on to it. This is not the time to be unemployed.

Boosting The Moral
You know, I’ve worked in corporate America and I know all about those stupid “team building” exercises and all that total horse shit that’s supposed to pump up the moral, bring about good feelings towards each other and the company and then everyone will be friends and the company will explode in to this huge, multi-billion dollar industry....bleh.
They’re usually a total fucking waste of time with a bunch of managers talking down to employees about “no I in team” and “9 yard lines” “bottom lines” and a whole bunch of other boring crap that most people don’t care about. If the people are really good at it, they might actually make you feel something for about 5 minutes-could be indigestion-before everything goes back to normal and Suzie in the cube next to you has returned to her former bitchy self.
In other words, bosses don’t appear to listen very well and wonder why moral is so low all the time. I think I should start a new series here at Serenity’s Journal called, “What the fuck NOT to do if you are the boss”.
Let’s take current events as an example.
If you were paying attention, which you probably weren’t, you will have noticed that I just got done working 10 days in a row. Not the best moral booster right there but, rumors were going around that I would get 4 days off as the schedule went back to normal this week.
Believe it or not, (I did not), that actually happened. My normal days off are Monday and Tuesday but I had to work right on through them all the way to the weekend this past week. I finally got Sat and Sun off and now, since the schedule is going back to normal, I also get my Monday and Tuesday off which makes 4 days in a row.
Ok.
It sure would have been nice if the boss had let me know that in advance that was happening-would have made working those 10 fucking days in a row in the blistering heat a little easier since I would have something to look forward to, right?
Yah, communication, bosses. And throw your employees a fricken bone once in awhile.
So anyway, I finally get to the four days off and do what I normally do on days off. I clean the shit out of my house and stay up way too late at night. Whatever, it makes me happy. (I still don’t have my car--but that’s a whole nother story.)
Then, today rolls around. I finally have everything completely done. House is sparkling since I had extra days to do it this week. Everything looks good, smells good, is organized, in its place, washed, cleaned....I still have no fucking car....so I have absolutely nothing to do today. Which means I get to spend the entire day in bed, reading or watching t.v. or movies or browsing the internet, in my pajamas. That’s awesome.
I stayed up really late last night knowing that if I wanted to, I could sleep until 11, noon, 1pm if I so desired because I had nothing! to do.
And then I hear the fucking ringing.
It’s just past 9am.
I know who the hell that is without looking. Nobody calls me on a Tuesday this early in the morning. No, it’s not my car, those assholes don’t show up until about 11 am and then promptly leave for a 2 hour lunch. It’s work.
And they can fuck. the hell. right off.
Someone didn’t show up so they’re calling me to come in.
No.
Absolutely not.
First of all, I already fucking worked 10 fucking days in a row for you last fucking week. I am NOT working 6 days this week while everybody else continues to get their time off. No, no, no! I am not the only person who works here, you fucking find someone else.
Second of all, it’s never appreciated. Ever. There are no thank yous, there is no consideration for raises or promotions later on. There’s no extra bonus at Christmas. No one asks, “What day would you like off to replace this day?”
No, you know what you fucking get when you work this hard? “You look miserable and we can’t have that around here. You could lose your job.”
That’s what the fuck you get when you work your ass off for these people.
And you want me to come in on my day off again?
No.
Hell. No.
I’m not a slave, it’s fucking hot out there, I’m still tired after what you did to me the last two weeks, I need a break, I’m not the only one who works here you CAN find someone else, you don’t fucking appreciate it at ALL, and it’s easily forgotten as within the week, at some point, you’ll be calling us “fucking idiot” like you always do, to all of us, at various, random times.
We’re just a bunch of fucking idiots to you, we are mere bodies that drive boats, we’re not human to you, you consider us uneducated, a bunch of losers and have no respect for us. You know that some of us are college educated, you know that some of us don’t drink and do drugs, you know that some of us have a high positive feed back in customer service, you know that some of us have goals but you forget that and lump us all together as nothing more than numbers that can easily be replaced.
“If you don’t like it here, you can work somewhere else” is the standard answer instead of trying to find a way to right the problem.
No, kids, they do not care.
And because of that, I no longer care.
Remember, managers, supervisors, owners, CEOs, etc: It does start from the top. If you don’t care about your employees, they won’t care about you or your goals or what you want, either. If you want to know why there is this problem or that problem, start at your own desk.

Feel Good Labels
For the LAST TIME! Those people coming from Mexico, illegally, are NOT “undocumented workers”, they are illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants.
Trying to put a spin on that label does not erase that what they are doing is illegal. Call people what they are, call the action of people what it is. Illegal. Immigrants. This is not a gottdamned fairy tale, this is real life. There are no purple markers here to soothe you when you’re marked wrong on your paper, it’s a big, fat, bright, red pen and it scribes, illegal immigrants.
But why would anyone care, it’s not like Arizona borders Mexico, right?! (I’m not the only one who saw that am I?)
Sigh, at least we can still have our guns.
For now.
Biden: Gee, Serenity, if you’d say something nice instead of being a smart ass all the time....
Serenity: Hey Biden, suck it. I agree with ice cream man, lower our taxes, asshole.
Biden: Oh, I was just kidding.
Serenity: I wasn’t.

Shaking Head
Every time I see someone spout off about their right to free speech in comments on a blog, in a forum or in real life, I want to just smack the crap out of them.
“I can say whatever I want on this forum. Or are you trying to take away my right to free speech?”
Idiots.
Fucking idiots.
TOTAL. FUCKING. IDIOTS.
So, let me make this clear here, on this blog, for any troll who wishes to piss and whine about this:
That 1st Amendment that you assholes keep throwing around is for your protection FROM THE GOVERNMENT! It does NOT apply to privately owned spaces, buildings or environments. Do you get that you fucking dolts? You do NOT have the “right to free speech” in MY house. You do NOT have the “right to free speech” on my blog. You do NOT have the “right to free speech” on a privately owned forum. No, you are NOT being “censored”, you simply do not have the right to say whatever the fuck you want in a privately owned place.
It protects you from the government. The government. THE GOVERNMENT. It does not protect you in comments, forums or homes.
SHUT. THE FUCK UP about your “rights” in these areas. All you do is make yourself look like a gottdamned idiot.

I See It Differently Now
For some time I’ve believed that we should have the ability to drill off the coast of Florida and up in ANWR. I remember the Exxon Valdez and the devastation it brought to the area and the wildlife but I, maybe foolishly, thought that we had learned from that. I put my faith in to these people drilling out in the waters that they would follow all measures to ensure safety and had back up plans in place that were not only tested but re-tested and re-tested over and over again, just in case.
Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in the PacNW where nature is a big deal up there and maybe it’s because I live in S. Florida now where, again, nature is a big deal down here. It’s extremely important that we protect these environments and the animals and watching the oil spill grow and grow, animals dying, Louisiana suffering now from the spill, knowing more animals will die, thinking about the hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil out there in the gulf.....I’m hard pressed to argue with anyone who is against drilling for oil off the coast of FL or in ANWR.
I’m having a hard time finding a reason they are wrong. This oil spill and the way it has been handled has infuriated me. Perhaps we need to really start focusing on alternatives. Some may argue about the cost and price to the consumer but I ask you, looking at the images of the oil spill, you don’t think we’re already paying a high price?
As I know many of you may not agree with me, I’m asking you to tell me why I’m wrong. I will tell you in advance, however, that if your argument is monetary, you will not change my mind. If your sole reason to do this is because it will save us money, we will never agree. I just can’t accept that way of thinking when I see animals dying needlessly over our actions to save a few bucks. I just can’t accept that answer when I see that oil in the water and washing up on shore.
I understand we don’t want to be dependent on oil from other countries so what about alternatives? Is there something wrong with finding alternatives? All I ask is please, don’t tell me it’s because it costs too much. The devastation and loss of life costs too much. Convince me I’m wrong without throwing in the almighty dollar.

Wow, I Am Humbled
Every so often someone will comment or email me that I’m a good writer. Kids...I appreciate the compliment but I just can’t even begin to accept that I am. Not when there are people like this guy out there:
A chronicle of wanderings by horseback throughout the American West with commentary on the state of this once great nation and our character as a people. View these musings as they are intended; to Provoke, Inform, and Entertain.
The post I’ve linked to sums up so much of what I’ve been trying to say. He manages to take subjects that I’m incredibly passionate about and wrap them up; tie them together to create a story that is not only incredibly well written but brings out just about every emotion in a 5 minute span. THAT, my friends, is a damn good writer. My junk pales in comparison.
Here’s an example of how he writes things I’ve thought but have never been able to put together in a coherent, well structured way:
Next time somebody asks for money to rebuild a disaster like Haiti or a variety of other toxic waste dumps around the world, think about the plight of the four legged creatures that share our lives and bring us comfort and joy but are abandoned and have no hope and no voice right here at home.
Folks are appalled at such reasoning, but it comes down to this. My life is better for the presence of God’s four legged critters that share our world and our lives. Our lives are in no way improved by the existence of savages and the toxic waste of people too stupid not to produce a progeny they can not feed, educate or care for.
My GOD I wish I could write like that.
This particular post is about a dog he found abandoned in the desert. Every place has some location where people dump their animals off for whatever bullshit excuse they can think of. I see it in the Everglades, people see it in the desert; there’s a place near you, as well. But this guy went beyond what I normally do and he’s quite the motivator for me to do even more when I see something like this. It’s one thing to rescue and find a home for an abandon animal, it’s another to go beyond to see if one can find who did it and have them prosecuted. It’s a long shot but I admire the hell out of this guy for even trying.
Please, visit this guy’s site. It’s wonderful. He is the epitome of a great, honorable and caring American citizen. If there were more people like him in this country, this country would be as wonderful as it once was, again. I truly am humbled.
(Thank you to Richard Stevens for bringing this blog to my attention. What a gift.)

Screeching Harpy
Seriously, what is wrong with this nasty bitch?
Bitchlosi wants to tell churches what to teach in regard to immigration
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday urged Catholic leaders to “instruct” their parishioners to support immigration reforms, saying clerics should “play a very major role” in supporting Democratic policies.
Instruct. Instruct this, bitch. God I hate this fucking cunt. I don’t think she has clue one about the Bible, religion, church or anything else for that matter.
"The cardinals, the archbishops, the bishops that come to me and say, ‘We want you to pass immigration reform,’ and I said, ‘I want you to speak about it from the pulpit. I want you to instruct your’—whatever the communication is,” said Pelosi, who is Catholic, speaking at the Nation’s Catholic Community conference sponsored by Trinity Washington University and the National Catholic Reporter.
“I want you to instruct your --whatever the communication is...” LOL! I knew it, the fucking bitch doesn’t even know what the people who go to church are called. “Instruct um...those...er...you know, whatever you call those people in the church who listen to you...giving your....um...whatever it is that you say.” Try CONGREGATION or PARISHIONERS, you daft prick. How about SERMON you fucking twat.
"The people, some (who) oppose immigration reform, are sitting in those pews, and you have to tell them that this is a manifestation of our living the gospels,” she said.
No, bitch, they don’t HAVE to tell them anything of the sort. They are there to instruct and guide people, help them understand the Bible, what it is saying, how to get closer to God, how to be a better person and that does not mean by ROLLING THE FUCK OVER and allowing illegal immigrants to come in and fuck up everyone’s life! Please, you ridiculous twit, where does it say in the Bible, “Thou shalt allow illegal immigration.”
Pelosi said the church “has an important role to play” in teaching about dignity and respect, and “as a practical matter” it’s not possible to tell 12 million illegal immigrants to “go back to wherever you came from or go to jail."
May I scream now? What the fuck does any of this have to do with religion, the Bible or God? The Bible teaches to love thy neighbor as thineself and allowing 12 million ILLEGAL immigrants to come in and break the fucking law, suck down our resources, take our jobs leaving our neighbors poor, unemployed and unable to afford health insurance, among other things, is not how the fuck you show your neighbor love. Dignity and respect is taught and that means to respect yourself, respect others and show some fucking respect for those who immigrated here and did things LEGALLY! It IS possible to tell 12 million ILLEGAL aliens to go back home or go to jail. You just fucking say it. Watch: Illegal immigrants, go back to where you came from, try to gain your citizenship the LEGAL AND RIGHT WAY or go to jail because the SECOND you enter this country ILLEGALLY, you have committed a crime and those who commit crimes go to jail. Don’t want to go to jail, don’t commit a crime.
Now, to show you RESPECT, we are here to help you do this the right way and when you do it the right way and enter this country legally, gain your citizenship legally, we respect the shit out of you and will help you make something of yourself, which, in turn, teaches you dignity and respect! Imagine that!
blah, blah, blah....The Arizona law, which is slated to take effect July 29, makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally.
Sigh. WTF is going on with people in this world? Really! WTF is wrong with people!? “Makes it a crime”? MAKES it a crime? IT ALREADY IS A FUCKING CRIME! Note the word, “ILLEGAL”! That means CRIME, AGAINST THE LAW, GO TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO! OMG I can’t take it anymore.
"It’s a beautiful thing to listen to different points of view. From a religious perspective we come from a similar Catholic background but sometimes we have to come to a different conclusion about how we translate that into public policy,” (Pelosi) said.
>maniacal laughter< You see? I’m going insane. Fucking! Insane! “It’s a beautiful thing to listen to different points of view....of course, I don’t fucking bother to do that, I just push on, full steam ahead with whatever I want, to hell with what the people want.” “Sometimes we have to come to a different conclusion about how we want to translate that in to public policy....What would Jesus do? I would tell him what to say and do so just listen to me because I am the way, the truth and the light! I will tell you how to interpret the Bible! Just ask yourself, ‘What would Nancy Pelosi do?’”
Back off, bitch. You can go to church if you wish, you can believe or interpret what you read however you wish. But you do NOT insert government in to church, the pulpit, a sermon...keep your nasty fucking hooves out of my religion you disgusting, disrespectful wench.
