I want my money!

What kind of a government is it that gives money to banks that can’t handle money? What kind of an idiot gives billions of dollars to a company that is failing? They don’t use that money to bail out their company, they give it out in bonus’s to their CEO’s. Does it make sense to give money to a bank that can’t handle money? No! We don’t have jobs. The poor keep getting poorer, so what does the government do? It gives billions of worthless dollars (Keep making it, they have the paper. Back it up with gold? Unheard of).  What do these idiots spend the money on? Do they create jobs? Do they give to the poor? No, they give it out in bonus’s to birdbrains that took the company downhill.

We are the idiots because we voted these (expletive)’s into office. They do not think much of the common person because all we would do with this stimulus money is waste it by buying things, like food and housing. We might even feed our children. Washington DC is farming central, at least for hogs because there is a lot of porkbarreling going on.

We live in an age where a person is washed up at 40. It does not matter how much education we get. Employers want people that are twenty years old with thirty years experience so they can untrain them and retrain them in their own methods. I say this because people will get school loans to get an education that they can’t use to find work. Then the government collects every extra penny you have to repay those loans. They do NOT care about you. All the government is concerned about is money and the rich.

We lost it!

(warning, this is a long post with the links)

Where did it go? We have lost the country I grew up in. Common sense is dead and Marv Wilson has the eulogy for it on his blog. There is no disipline allowed for our children, thus they rule us. I’ve heard there is a supreme being that is supposed to be watching over us, but I don’t dare mention that in public. We used to, and we used to do so in school. Ask Red Skelton, The Pledge Of Allegiance .

So we are left with the question, where did the country of our youth go? We have crooked politicians, crime everywhere and we are being taxed to the limit. Our country is not what it used to be. But, on the other side of the coin, look at Europe and Asia. They don’t see the bad parts but they do see us. Let’s hope they stay that way as Kenny Rodgers says, God Bless America Again – Charlie Daniels Band .

 

God bless us all!

Fed Up (a personal rant)

I don’t know about anyone else, but I for one am getting tired of politicians screwing around then coming back with tears in their eyes expecting the public to pat their hand and say it’s ok. It is NOT! I could care less about your sex life but for crying out loud, keep it to yourself, we don’t need to share your shame.

Then we have these idiots that think that forcing women to stay covered up and doing only what they are told is religiously correct. It’s not. Get your act into the reality of life. This world would be nothing without the females. Treat them as equals. What, may I ask, makes your ugly mug so damn good that you feel you have to rule the world? You don’t. Let freedom ring or let us do what we should do and take the full might of the military and make a parking lot out of your stupid country.

Speaking of parking lots, there is this country the size of Rhode Island that thinks it can take America out. Our satellites have pinpointed all your bases. Let’s get Russia, China and us to surround that land of fools and then line up our cats and earth movers on the border between north and south. Put flamethrowers on the front to eliminate problems then level the place.

Oh, let’s not forget to take the drug dealers and abusive bas______s down to the swamp, tie them to a stump and let the aligators feast.

A Pill Poppin’ Home

“Ma, bail me out!”

“Now what did you do?”

“Making meth”

Let’s see, doesn’t this sound a bit familiar? You hear it on the news all the time. Yet no one seems to understand why the kids do this. I think there are two obvious answers. The first one is in the bathroom or kitchen. Mom or dad takes pills to lower their cholesterol. There is one to help with blood pressure and of course there are the daily insulin shots from a life of too much sugared coffee and powdered doughnuts. At least once if not more a day, the kids see the parents poppin’ pills for something. They do seem happier or better afterwards. They are more upbeat and ready to meet the day. The high stress of living these days has put a lot of people on prescription drugs. It’s a case of don’t worry about life, there’s a pill to fix it.

We then have a very grouchy parent but one that improves with the morning coffee and smoke. Kids can drink the caffeine but those cigarettes that mom or dad smoke are so taboo that they have often hide the fact from other adults, who are also hiding the fact that they smoke. I won’t go into how the government uses this to raise money because they publicly don’t like it (yet how many light up at home?).

Little Johnny sees all of this. As kids most are not likely to be on any pills and heaven forbid they smoke. But, it makes mom and dad feel good and they want to do the same. So, what do they do? They can’t buy cigarettes, but a friend has some pot and it looks like a cigarette. Now they feel like adults because they are smoking also.

But what about those pills? It’s amazing what one can find on the street if you know the right people. Valium is one that seems to be easily obtained. There are others and the kids find them. But wait, this stuff doesn’t make me feel as good or look as cool as the adults. Now what?

A simple answer is to make their own. Now the kids have their own labs. They aren’t in some big white building but are in basements, or in the woods. These children are makig meth. Now they can feel like adults because they can visit their own lab and get their own ‘pills’.

“Hey doc, I saw this ad on TV for ____. Will this cure me?”

I don’t know about you but it seems to me that the doctor should be telling the patient what is good for them. Why do they have to advertise this junk? How many people see an ad for some drug then run to their doctor and say they saw it on TV and it sounds like what they need? It makes almost no sense. But in one way it does have meaning. The kids see these ads and this is all the proof they need to know that the pills they are stealing or buying on the streets is the right thing to do. If those don’t do the job, the local meth lab will have a solution.

Why are kids taking drugs, smoking pot, or making meth? Because the parents show them and the television validates it.

Why the poor stay poor

Tomorrow the price of cigarettes goes up by a dollar. This is set by a government that can’t handle it’s own finances and expects the smokers to bail them out. Why is it always the ones that smoke? Are we that much of a pariah? I’m not saying it’s a good habit, but I am saying that when they want a target to raise money, we are the prime choice. Heaven forbid they raise the taxes on alcohol because then the power lunches would actually mean they had to spend some of their own money! We can’t eliminalte alcohol. Look what happened when we tried it. So we leave it alone and allow the drunks to keep killing everyone on the streets.

How bad is second hand smoke? It is nowhere as bad as the stress people are under worrying that they might run into a small cloud of it. Too many people stress out about those that smoke and they are the first to have a heart attack. Leave us the (blank) alone! Get back in your car and let some twenty five year old drunk kill you instead.
