The flaming is so pointless

As much as I stand for the values of being an american, then republican. I am sick of the negative, nasty talk that goes on in these elections. That's why no posts for awhile.

But i think we do have to pay attention to what's going on between Iran and Israel.

In my opinion, we need to attack Iran and take out Iran's nuclear supply, and then help them create a democratic nation, their way, our ideals. If they were a free and democratic nation, then Iraq would find total peace, not perfection, but it would be a lot better than it is now.

I mean, war is bloody and painful, but sometimes you have to fight to protect your freedom. If your not willing to fight for your freedom, then honestly, do you really deserve it?

Thank You.

Why are we afraid of our own heroism?

We keep looking for other people to be our heroes, the government, the military, the police, our parents...

It is now time, let the bells of freedom ring in your heart, and become the hero or heroine you have so long looked for.

Like many of you, I have kept waiting and hoping for someone else to step up, new ideas, new ways, new methods to help create a better America, and a better world.

But what if the person we were waiting for, is actually ourselves?

I think we have so long depended on others to lead us, that we have forgotten what it means to be a good man and woman or human..

If we want to create a better anything, it is our responsibility, our honor, our pride our joy.

I know that after watching videos of Ronald Reagan, on youtube, that there is no other great leader to arrive, but for each of us to step up, and do a little more...

Bring us to that Big City on the Hill, but do it ourselves...

I don't know any secret ways or methods, but it just starts with 1 step.

Maybe it starts by caring more about our neighbors and neighborhoods, our towns, cities and states. Not to be localist or nationalist, as in caring more about what it looks like, and doing extra things to bring a new America.

By saying hi to your neighbors, getting to know them, to bring back the great feeling of fellowhood and neighbor-hood experiences we may have had as children.

The key is 1 step forward...

So what are you waiting for?

If I were President

I'd stand up for what I believe in, the strength of our people to fight for our freedom. And focus on strengthening our core values.

1. The American Dream - the right for any legal citizen to work their way up as far as they can based on their own merit.

2. All American's Should Be Armed - By this i mean, we are living in a dangerous age, and we can't assume that we our safe, or that the government can protect us, it is up to us as citizens to also protect ourselves. So I would require all citizens to be armed, with non-lethal to lethal weapons. Instead of banning weapons, we should welcome them, as they make us all safer.

3. American Citizenship is not a right but must be earned. So I would recommend rigorous testing of all 16-18 year old residents, to see if they can both speak/read/write english, and understand what it means to be an American.  If you don't know what it really means and takes to be a good american, why should you be entitled to any of it's privaledges.

4. All Healthy Adults from age 16 to 40, are required to do yearly military training and duties. To make each american aware of why we must defend our country by requiring a huge majority to be involved with defending it. If you are not physically healthy, you will contribute your mental strengths to military areas that require mental strength. Why be a part of a nation, your not willing to defend?

5. Foreign Policy - We shall establish no trade or any type of relationship with a country that does not have free citizens. Those that wish to trade with us must be free. Because it always makes us look bad when we have deals with un-free/dictatorial countries.

6. Eliminate the IRS.

7. Privatize all educational organizations.

More to come...

Our nation needs to remind itself that to be free that their are costs and responsibilities to keep us free.

Thank you.

Sacrifice

Today is my birthday, yet no one at works knows it.

Yet even more important today is 9-11, this day will always be a sad day, until evil has been destroyed once again.

But today let us just be one nation, united together to honor the sacrifices made, lives lost to protect our country.

What a sad day....

Importance of Family

I have been thinking a lot lately, how important marriage is, and yet i don't think we as a race really have mastered our understanding of it.

Marriage exists solely for a man/woman to procreate create children, to carry on the inheritance of their name, and families...

However it doesn't mean same-sex relationships are incapable of being good parents, nor does it mean man/woman relationships are always source of good parenting..

When we think about this whole issue of same-sex marriage, there are many aspects of it. That we should honestly discuss and try to find a reasonable solution..

1. There should be many types and levels of civil unions, from dating to procreative unions.

2. There should be some quality controls on who gets to have kids and be parents, but do we really want to leave that up to the government of any kind? No. Sadly not their strength.

3. Also not every relationship is a form of moral ineptitude. So there for, there is a need for everyone to find a spot of happiness in their life, that doesn't make everyone feel prejudiced against, while also respecting the moral importance of good parenting and good unions...

At first, as a conservative I was against same-sex marriages, but after meeting a co-worker of mine, I have decided that there are nice, sane and ethical people out there.

So they deserve some means of being happy and creating a home, and that is fair.

However should that be the same as hetero relationships, I am not sure.

All of this is part of the history of how marriages/relationships and families have changed, from the strict/puriticanical to the hedenous (pardon my spelling).

I am not a lawyer nor politician in office, so i don't have the legal terms to create a perfect law.

But I suggest that we think carefully about this area of legality.

We do need to respect the importance of family and parenting and solid committed relationships...

Maybe we could have as a trial period, some middle ground, that for 10 years we can try a same-sex monagamy agreement.

Perhaps this helps, to formulate a new law, interesting defintion of 3 types of Monogamy on Wikipedia.com, here

Here is some quotes from wikipedia entry:

"Social monogamy refers to two people who live together, have sex with one another, and cooperate in acquiring basic resources such as food, clothes, and money.

Sexual monogamy refers to two people who remain sexually exclusive with one another and have no outside sex partners.

Genetic monogamy refers to the fact that two partners only have offspring with one another."

Isn't this very interesting, perhaps we can have degree's of marriage indicating which kind of marriage it is to be. And then say for as a test, limit same-sex marriages to social or sexual, but not genetic.

Let's prove they are stable and provide ethical examples of committed relationships.

But also adjust normal marriage agreements, to identify which type it is.

I am not saying I have the solution, I just want us to move towards one.

Optimism the tool of now and the future

Here I am late at night, as I usually do, I go to youtube.com or google's video's looking for some late night entertainment. Yet somehow Ronald Reagan pulled at me.

So I was looking at some of his speeches and on Google Video is an interview by Charlie Rose with former Secretary George Schultz.

Former President Ronald Reagan, is one of my idols, because of the character of the man, as a regular joe. Because of his ideals, and he stuck to his guns.

But also because he was an optimist, and he worked to make his optimistic vision true, while, looking at the reality of a cold war.

We must again have big dreams, and they must come from each and one of us, not in expecting some great leader to awaken. We must be that great nation on the hill.

We are a great nation not because our leaders, but because we are a free people, and it's up to us, to once again make our nation great again.

I believe in the greatness of our nation, the huge potential it has to change the nature of life on this little planet we call Earth.

But it is not that way inherantly or through us being lazy and losing track of our values.

But now is the time to both dream big dreams, and take small actions that will bring them about..

1. We must immediately declare war against all islamic facist countries, Syrai, Iran, Palestine..any nation that attacks our allies, is a dead nation.

As President George W. Bush said, "You are either with us, or against us."

And it is clearly they are against us.

So declare war!!!!

If every man and woman must wear arms, to fight for our freedom, then let's do so. Peace has made us weak and lose track of what we're about.

Peace is nice, but only if it's a true peace,  mutually sought. Not like the last many decades, merely a total lie while evil gathers even more men, munitions and weapons and allies....

There is a time for peace and this sure as heck is not it.

2. We must take action against the traitors inside America.

No longer can we let them think they control us or own us.

All news media that does not report the full facts, should immedaitely lose it's license. And if that is n't enough drag them all to jail, or deport them to a non-free nation.

If you don't want to fight for liberty and freedom fo America, then leave it.

3. We must unify, be one nation of many colors, genders, sexes.. All that matters is that we fight for freedom and we must work together...

I am no hawk, nor am I a dove. I am a free man, that clearly see's the liberal left's intendend blindness against the reality of the evil we face.

We forced Israel to lose for the first time in War. That should not be so, we just gave the evil people more time to re-arm themselves.

So let's not give them a single second, strike hard and strike swift.

Why should we always wait for evil to strike us?

They are evil empire, so kill every single last one of them!!!!

NFL Racial/Gender Equity

Just reading about this NFL Racial and Gender Diversity Report.

And i personally hate this kind of crap.

I focus on, is the player or coach or any position person the best for the needed spot?

If so, hire him.

We do not need racial diversity, we need equal employment...

I think one of my favorite technical comedians, put's it the way i want it best.

Here's the link to the full comedic story, BOFH: Equal Opportunity Guide

But here is a few lines, to help explain my point...

"How bad can it be? Look: 'The company prides itself of being an Equal Opportunity Employer'. What does that mean?"

"It means that we we're not prejudiced in our selection techniques."

"Of course we're bloody prejudiced! We want someone who can do that job!"

"Yes, yes, but if two people came in and one of them was… er…"

"A 54-year-old black lesbian hippo with one leg who worshipped chutney," the PFY suggests.

"Er.. yes, then we would appoint the, er, them!"

"Instead of the other applicant?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Well because we're giving them an equal opportunity."

"No I think you mean Affirmative Action," the PFY comments. "Equal Opportunities means that they'd both be considered regardless of who they were. Affirmative Action is intended to address a perceived lack of some group in a company for PR purposes.”

"It's not for P.R!"

"Right," the PFY says dubiously.

"Well this flies in the face of my Unequal Opportunities Policy!" I say.

"Your what?!?"

"Unequal Opportunities Policy. Which is basically 'if you can do the job, you're in!'. Couldn't give a crap about age, sex, race, etc. It's a simple policy, but it seems to work. Unless…"

It puts it in a funny way.

Now if you feel someone was qualified for a job, and didn't get even looked at, that's fine. But that should apply to everyone, not some pre-conceived minority.

I mean this is the real world, no one automatically gets a job. And sometimes your the best candidate, but the hiring person just doesn't like you for some reason.

You can ask why you didn't get hired, but it's still up to the hiring people to decide who the best person for the job is.

And no organization should try to put it's foot involved in something that really isn't a problem.

You think there should be more black coaches, good. So what? If they were good coaches they'd be hired.

Tony Dungy is a great coach, i'd hire him for any coaching spot anywhere. Irregardless of him being black.

Dennis Green, was never worthy of being an NFL Coach, in all of his college and pro years, he never had any winning record. Yet why was he hired? As part of a deal between then head President Roger Headrick of the Minnesota Vikings, Paul Tagliabue and of course, Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Race or Gender should never be a reason people get hired. But companies do have the right to hire anyone they damn well please to....

I mean I am handicapped person, but yet I never try to get a job because I am handicapped. I want to earn it.

Maybe if you had more respect for those minority coaches, you'd let them earn it if they can.

Thank you for listening to my rant...

The Awakening: Chapter 2

Roscoe woke the next day, he had a bit of a headache from being up all night reading thru his father's Diary...

He went to look up in the body-length mirror, and he saw how he had treated his body, and wondered how he was even alive, based on all the drugs, and activities he had done.

He had felt so ashamed of himself, both in what life he had led, and how he had dishonored his parents.

Well it's time for a new life, a new beginning, and that begins with the first step.

While he prepares for the day of action against the traitors of America, he must get ready.

He takes a shower, shaves his beard off.

He goes to his parent's home, remembering some weights that his father had had.

He saw his mother, and just kneeled down and cried for her.

He said, "I have seen the light, I know what kind of man, dad was, and I am ashamed of the man I am. Mother please forgive me, and God give me the strength to be a good son, and someone my father could be proud of!"

She started to sniffle, then crying.......

Mom said, "Dear it's not all your fault, after the war, your father had lost all faith and hope. So he just cared less and less for his life. He loved you dearly, just didn't know what he wanted from you, other than to someday bring hope and faith back to life.  Oh honey, I am so proud, that took courage. If there's anything I can do to help, my lovely son, I am here for you."

Roscoe said, "Mother, I need to shape up my life, to be stronger: mentally, physically, emotionaly and spiritually. I need to be the man, that can get back at those evil people who destroyed my father. "

Roscoe swore, "I swear my father, JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! Traitors, your day is coming, and justice will be swift and furious."

I am inspired by that quote from the movie, Pulp Fiction, that one line that Jules aka Samuel L. Jackson, shall by my calling card.

Jules said, "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. "

More to come, please comment.

Adventures of Roscoe Revolutionairy

I have been looking for ways to help communicate my ideas, dreams, strategies and tactics, and i have discovered I like to make up stories.

So here is the first tale of the Adventures of Roscoe Revolutionairy...

Roscoe was an ordinary guy, with a hero for a father, his father, was a soldier from the Vietnam war. His father never really talked about it much, so Roscoe formed his own, maladjusted opinions.

He met all the latest drunks, thrill seekers, and just kind of spent his young adulthood, seeking pleasure and thrills, not feeling like his life had meaning.

He loved his parents, but never felt really connected to them, like what they went thru meant anything to him, or what he went thru meant anything to them. Maybe that's typical of an american family.

He was about 22 years old, somewhat through college, when his father the war-hero died. He was a quiet man, Roscoe loved him, but didn't really know him.

He went to the funeral, tried to not laugh at all the soldiers that were there, tried to smoke some weed. He felt kind of melancholy, what did this mean to him? How would it change his life.

Oh man, the beginning of the ride...

His mother and Roscoe, went to the executioner of the will, a lawyer friend, also a former soldier. They went thru the legal and financial papers, bills, what would be paid and how.

His parents were never really well off, educated, but didn't really seem to be there, in his life, no emotions.

Yet now the lawyer was arguing with his Mother, and he better pay attention.

The lawyer said, "Son, I know your not my son, but i consider you my son, for all that your father meant to me, as a brother. Here is some papers, and affects that your father left for you.. I hope you will take care of them, because it's all he left for you."

He spent sometime with his mom, and her mourning, but at the end of the night he went home. He didn't know what to think about his father's legacy, the box.

In the box, he learned was different soldier uniforms, medals, a photo album, scrap book, and a huge diary...

It turns out his father was quite a journalist, but because journalism had no out for being drafted, and in addition he was finding his voice in telling the truth, being shut down more and more.

So he decided to leave his girlfriend behind, who he loved dearly, and commit to his country give all he could to make it safer for his family, loved ones, and their children and grand-children.

But he learned to love being a soldier, because he both had a high level of self-discipline and was a very orderly person. And yet he was having to deal with high levels of hell, the marshes, the wet lands, the humidity, the diseases, the political games that the military do play.

He just wanted to kill the bad guys, but he found more and more that the higher ups, the media wanted us to lose, and not win.

He just couldn't understand that, why would they want America to die or lose?

Didn't they care for the people that were sacrificing their lives for them? We didn't go to war because we like killing, we went to war to save lives, to fight for freedom.

And yet because of that, his and his fellow soldiers were the enemies, not the servants of America.

Roscoe by now was crying his head off, not sure what to think or believe.

His father had included in his scrap book, many copies of memo's and orders, making sure there was a record of every action order by military or political personnel.

Then he saw the history of the times, how again and again they were put in positions where they had just won major battles, but home gave it up, because they wanted America to lose.

His father had lost faith with America...He believed in the people but the government was a complete and utter corrupt failure..Especially if they didn't truly treat their soldiers with kindness and respect, instead of merely as pawns and toys.

Roscoe's own education, tried to emphasis the Fonda, Kerry and major news impressions that the war had lost because of bad soldiers, instead he learned that the Liberals of the day wanted to destroy America so they can rule it, as the intellectual elite, while dumbing down the rest of america.

And then Roscoe started to see his own life as a complete failure.

Instead of doing something productive, or developing himself as a good man, he was doing nothing, going nowhere...

Well time to change all that...

More to come... please tell me what you think.

Star Spangled Banner

After my last post, i just had to post the lyrics for Star Spangled Banner.

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming!
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

It still hits me how powerful and simple this is, and yet there is depth here, that should we explore.

I also can't help think of another favorite "God Bless America" when song by Kate Smith.

Which leads me to this old book I used to read over and over again, called "For those who don't quit" It may not be the exact title. But basically telling the story of how those who were handicapped, found ways to win and succeed.

See I am a handicapped person, or at least that's how most people define me.  I am somehow expected to not have a fulfilling life, yet here I am fighting verbally, idealistically and politically for everyone's life. Quite ironic isn't it...Heh

You see we are all bound together, in the end we're just people, who would rather be free, then trapped or imprisoned or enslaved.

Yet that's what happening to us now...

1. Our education system is setup to not create winners and highly educational people but to be nice and make sure everyone feels good. I am sorry but that leads to very low education levels and more and more failures.

2. Our News Media is set to lie to us, and yet it's lies we'd rather believe than the truth which can be quite painful. It is so like the movie Gladiator, where the Roman Emperor creates the Colloseum, just to get the citizens to love him, and by loving him, lose track of all the freedoms they are losing, and that Rome is going downhill faster and faster. But at least they have the games.

3. What new ideas have we really come up with? New technologies yes, new ideas no.

4. We're all anti-war anti-military, yet we're so hung up on peace we seek peace when it's not wise too, such as in this Israel/Hizbollah war. Sometimes you need to have war, to get things done that need to be done, such as killing and getting rid of massive amount of evil people.

I mean Israel has always stood by us, and now we're leading them to self-destruction.

5. United Nations once an alliance of free-seeking and growing nations, is now almost completely anti-American, anti-Israel.

So why do we need to rely upon them to help us?

There's a time for diplomacy and a time for war, this is not the time for diplomacy. It's a time for war. If President George W. Bush won't help us and our nation and Israel, then let's get someone who will....

Funnily enough there are few real good presidential types left, except perhaps Newt Gingrich or Joe Lieberman...

In the end, when the dream that is America dies, which could be very soon, unless change takes place, what will we have left but tyranny...

Tyranny that we allowed to live and grow, rather than being strong and dealing with it.

Think about it...

If your not so drunk or drugged up to do something about it...

Do Ideas Matter?

Here we are in the 21st Century, August 15th, 2006, and yet are we the America that our founding fathers imagined, we are free, but is it a vital and worthy and respected freedom?

No I say, we spit and poop all over the freedom, demanding unrealistical rights that don't exist except in immature and unrealistic minds.

Part of the problem is the education, we are taught to learn by reputation, but our we taught to think on our and be solvers of new problems, to innovate in new ways?

Hardly...

My point of today, is thinking about Francis Scott Keys, who we celebrate on July 4th, as part of the origin of our freedom from Tyranny.

Yet what new thinkers, poets, musicians do we really have to inspire us, to be a better America?

Instead we follow the Roman paths of self-desecration and degeneration, this is not the America we dreamed and hoped for.

And we can no longer let it lie, and grow into that dark path, but yet what options are there for us to make true change.

Because it sadly really is up to us citizens, for our government like normal has failed us. But yet it's not all government's fault, it is hugely every American Citizen's fault for not caring for not doing our daily work to make America great.

We just keep expecting us to be great without doing anything to make it so.

And i don't want to dwell in wishful thinking, i want to take non-violent action that will cause major change. I think that if we want true change, it must be more than just showing up to vote. That is not enough.....

We need people to have new ideas, new methods....

We need business men and women to come together to found new media/publishers, because we can no longer trust Hollywood or the News Establishment to give us the facts.

They want ratings so much, that they lie to us constantly. Well it's so bad, they'd rather have us and our allies lose wars, then for us to win.

Well we need to both beat the and out compete against these horrible organizations.

And start petitioning the establishment to revoke their licenses, who do we need to talk to get these people out of the news business...

I am also starting a personal ban on all movies. If they don't back America, why should I back Hollywood? Maybe if they see a huge loss of money, they'll start realizing they sure are both out of ideas and have lost touch with America.

Also what can we do about calling for Treason Charges, more and more I think about how right Joe McCarthy was, that are those who wish for the destruction/losing of America, so let's get them losing their citizenship.

Let citizenship be something worth fighting for.

Now as for tactics, fo the every day joe, to help fight the good non-violent fight, I prefer the ideas of an old sci-fi book by Eric Frank Russell called The Wasp. Google it...

If we want America and the world to improve we can not lie down and expect it to change.

And the United Nations must be kicked out of America, they no longer our are friends.

Remove all funds, support and buildings from American Lands. In my mind, they are our enemies in disguise.

Now here's another shocker, let's bring out the draft, because it's time to declare serious war againts the whole middle east, except israel.

Peace that we lose in, and doesn't accomplish our goals, is not a win. Sometimes it's a loss, like this one was...

This nation was not created by politicians, it was created by every day people who fought from farms and lands, and homes, to fight for their freedom and the freedom of their families.

Now it is our time to do so again!

Liberty!
