| Wow...It has been two years since I have posted on this website. Amazing they kept my page up. I guess it's because my writing has been so brilliant, how could they delete this page? Or, more likely, they just hadn't gotten around to it yet. I am going to do a better job of keeping this page going. I apologize to anyone who enjoyed my words of wisdom, and missed my postings. I also invite you to visit my Myspace blog page to catch up on my ramblings. I am going to try to repost some of my Myspace posts on here. Let me just say that I am still very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government. We should have more responsibility over our money and not send more and more and more taxes to the capital. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them. I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated. I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions. I believe the First Amendment and the entire Bill of Rights are the most important laws this land has ever seen. I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric. I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often? I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing... THINK FOR YOURSELF. | | |
| The Nerve of people…
Throughout the country today, millions of Hispanics and their supporters came together with the intent to disrupt our country. They wanted to prove the impact of illegal immigrants on our economy. They wanted to prove how invaluable undocumented workers are to our economy. They wanted to show this by doing a nationwide boycott and work walk-out.
As with every liberal idea and grand scheme, it is nothing but propaganda and the forcible dumbing-down of our society.
First, how can we see the true impact that illegal immigrants have on our economy when 55-75% of the protestors are CITIZENS and DOCUMENTED EMPLOYEES? How does this work? As with all other liberal ideas, this one is full of garbage. We have people shutting down stores, gas stations, and thousands of other businesses to show the impact of illegal immigration on our economy. The argument does not fit the purpose. It’s like arguing that chocolate is the best ice cream flavor and drinking Coke to prove it.
That isn’t even the biggest problem I have. The biggest problem I have with this is the fact that we have thousands to millions of illegal immigrants using OUR right to peaceably assemble and OUR right to free speech. No where in our constitution have we EVER guaranteed illegal immigrants the same rights as legal citizens. The essence of the term immediately devoids them of many rights. The name says it all: ILLEGAL immigrants, as in “breaking the law” and “cheating” and “lying” and “stealing.” Yes, crossing into the US without proper documentation and working without proper documentation is ILLEGAL, and ILLEGAL activities are not to be encouraged. NOT EVEN WITH AMNESTY!!!!
Picture your home, the place you’ve worked your whole life to build, maintain, and protect. Picture a stranger breaking into your home. He eats your food. Drinks milk straight from your carton. Calls home on your phone long distance. He is unwelcome and you want him out. As you try to call the police to have him removed from your home, hundreds of criminals arrive on your front lawn to protest. They call you racist. They demand that that man, who broke into your home, became a drain on your life and wallet, now gets the same rights that you, your wife, and your kids get under that roof. They demand that he gets to use your computer. They demand that you translate everything in your home so he can read it. They demand you start a savings account so he can go to school. They demand you give him a car before your kids can get one. The second you pause to think about it, you are called a racist, heartless, scum, communist, selfish, spoiled, and a million other names. You wouldn’t stand for it. So why stand for it when your home is no longer a house but your country?
Why let these illegals take your tax dollars? Why allow the government to spend money that should go to paying for your tax-paying children to go to college on illegal immigrant health care? Its time America get back together and reunite for the greater good. Its time to reunite and protect our borders, national security, and national economy.
Its not racist to protect our borders. Its not racist to force LAW BREAKERS to follow the law or get out. I don’t care if it is a white man, black man, middle eastern man, or other ethnicity. I do not care. If you are here illegally, get out. Now.
I have had a thought for a while that I want everyone to consider. To hell with the nay-sayers and race-baitors. I say we keep tabs on where these illegal immigrant rallies/protests are going on and send 5,000 NSA agents there to round up all the illegals. If you are a documented American worker, you may be released as long as you have ID. The rest will be processed and deported. I like the idea. If you are illegal and brash enough to come out in force, well, I believe your just dumb enough to be arrested and deported for being here illegally.
You know, being from West Virginia-Virginia for most of my life, I know of an old way of thought. You trespass on my land, I will give you a warning. But beware…TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT.

A new era of sports is merging upon us, and I am loving it.
Above, Ron Artest, Marcus Vick, Latrell Spreewell, and Terrell Owens are all examples of what has been wrong with sports for many years. The spoiled, ME-first attitude of the athlete has been nourished and, at times, encouraged by fans, coaches, agents, and other people of impact. However, the limits of what a star can get away with are becoming more clear and the world will be better for it.
First, Ron Artest. Yeah, he is kind of like Dennis Rodman, who I support and would like to see back with the Bulls. However, I never saw Rodman punch a 16-year-old kid after getting hit with a plastic cup. In no way was Artest in danger. No one would be in danger from that cup. A security guard could have removed the out of line fan. Instead, Artest punches THE WRONG FAN, starting the ugliest fiasco in the history of American sports. In spite of all that, Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers stood by and supported Artest and welcomed him back with open arms in 2005-06. Then, Artest stabs them in the heart by openly asking for a trade. So, the Pacers did what was painful, but right, and deactivated Artest. They may pay a price financially as well as in victories, but I think the Indiana, and all NBA fans, should applaud the Pacers for their strength and backbone and moral code.
Second, a young man I cheered and booed at times this year. I love my Hokies, but now I, and all Hokie fans, have a big black eye thanks to this spoiled brat. Marcus Vick has had a tough act to follow being in his brother's shadow. However, there comes a time when Michael can no longer baby his little brother and Marcus must grow up. Marcus refused to grow up. He flipped-off WVU fans, elbowed a coach, choked when the season was on the line versus Miami, and then stomped on the leg of Elvis Dumerville in the Gator Bowl. All this caused me to doubt his character and leadership ability, things required to be a successful quarterback. His off-the-field exploits further diminish his attractiveness to fans and NFL scouts alike. And, after Virginia Tech, like Indiana with Artest, gave Marcus one more shot, he stabbed them in the heart by not growing up. So, they, too, had to cut their losses and replace a great talent. With this kind of baggage, the negatives become longer-term than the successes, so Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech did what was hard, but right, and cut him loose.
Now to Spree. Mr. "I-have-a-family-to-feed," turned down $21 million because he couldn't feed his family on that salary. What is he feeding them? Rare 50 lb. lobster and filet mingon everynight? There are millions of minimum wage burger flippers that find ways to feed their family on $150 a week. This guy turned down $150 per breath...so, the Minnesota Timberwolves let their problems and a major contributor to their success go and the rest of the league has stayed away. I applaud the NBA exec.s for not picking this guy up. He has serious issues and does not deserve the privilege to play in the NBA.
Last but not least, for this blog, is TO. TO got exactly what he deserves. I just feel bad for the town of Philadelphia and Donovan McNabb. McNabb has put up with all sorts of crap and still stands strong and leads. He plays through pain. He tried to maintain a civil lockerroom. However, TO would not allow that. He had to get his dollars. He had to get his, Eagles be damned. So, Andy Reid and the Eagles said, "Adios!" and TO was no mo. TO will play again, but his value is extremely diminished because of his selfish, team-disrupting attitude and behavior.
I applaud these teams and leagues for beginning to turn the tides. Keep turning the tides against these spoiled, selfish athletes. They are by far some of the most overpaid people on the planet, but I won't complain as long as they give 100% on the field to their team. And is it THAT hard to ask these athletes to ACT like they are civilized human beings? Part of the job of pro athlete is the fact you are a role model. It comes with the territory. Its an occupational hazard. If you don't want to be a role model, get a job in an office building somewhere. So, in being a role model, could you please, as an athlete, set a decent example for the kids who love you? | | |

Just an idea...this goes out to my women friends. Please tell two of your friends, and tell them to tell two more and so on.
Stop letting yourselves be cheapened.
Stop letting yourself be convinced that you have to look slutty and or act slutty to get a man's attention or to get somewhere in life. Stop encouraging my fellow menfolk to think from their zippers by giving in to their childish demands.
Stop being so forgiving of men for cheating. Cheating is the ultimate hurt and insult. Forgiving is just slightly different than encouraging. Forgiving a cheater gives them control...gives them the power to cheat more often because they know they have you around their finger.
Stop acting like the women on TV. Women, like us males, have so few positive role models. The only time a woman should let a man into her bed on the first date is if that first date didn't come until after they fell in love and were married.
I am not trying to be holier-than-thou. I am not trying to insult or berate or come down on. It is merely an idea I propose. I did, in fact, lose a friend of three years over a difference in ideas over the summer...so I know how overreacted people can get. But I hope you can take this in the spirit in which it is intended.
Happy New Year! May God bless your 2006. | | |
| Kobe Bryant
The spoiled brat prince of the NBA has just edged Terrell Owens out as the biggest scumbag in professional sports.
I want the ball. I wanna score all the points.
Shaq gone to the heat. Phil Let go. A new list of pass-toKobe-first underacheivers enlisted to kiss Kobe's butt.
Kobe miss playoffs. Kobe's dream isn't what he wanted. Kobe tells Mr. Buss that he should get his daughter to use her feminine powers over Phil to tell Phil to come back...since he is the only reputable coach that could take the job since the only other applicants were three season ticket holders, a homeless guy named Ned-meister, and Jack Nicholson.
Kobe's team still sucks...the simple reason is no one has bent Kobe over their knee and beat the hell out of the brat.
Now, after a rough week of Shaq once again proving his value truly stands head and shoulders above the brat's, getting in a scuffle with one of the underacheivers who replaced the man that Kobe cannot win without, then throwing one of the most blatant, childish, dangerous, cheapest elbows in the history of mankind to a no name point guard who accidentally cut the rapist's eyebrow.
THEN, he dares to complain about a two-game suspension?
That elbow, delivered 1/2 inch lower, could have caused serious damage to the young point guard's adam's apple, possibly injuring or breaking the larnyx. The elbow was blatant. It was intended to cause harm.
Flagrant fouls happen. Players make mistakes. Flagrant fouls are called when a player is overzealous when they commit a foul on a player. Kobe has been on the recieving end of a couple flagrants. The foul was called. Free throws were shot. The game went on. There were no suspensions because the flagrant foul call was enough...the punishment fit the crime at that point.
This crime...the elbow to the throat of an opponent...was malicious in its intent and execution. The tape clearly shows Kobe aiming and delivering an elbow shiver to the chin/throat area of the player's body. There was no attempt to mask the elbow. It was a straight up mugging...something even flag-worthy on a football field.
And Kobe dares to question the suspension?
Kobe is lucky, first that he is not in prison thanks to idiot fans who did everything they could to violate the privacy of the accuser and put pressure on her until she dropped the charges. Second, he is lucky that two games is ALL his over-paid spoiled rear end is losing. Third, he is very lucky that this player was okay. As I said, and inch off the mark and this guy might not talk again...or worse.
And Kobe dares to question the suspension?
Kobe is a spoiled kid who consistanly gets his way because he can play some ball. He is rich and can play ball. So, the world is his. How dare David Stern live up to his last name and punish a star like Kobe...how dare you David Stern. Kobe is a dynomite baller...how dare you punish him for what he did. Him beign able to put the ball in the basket and sell tickets and jerseys puts him above the law and above decency.
Actually...Kobe, TO, Latrell "I Can't Feed My Family on 9 Million a Year" Spreewell, and all these other babies can go play ball on a distant island with no cameras and no media to kiss their asses.
Give me more Tim Duncan. More Emeka Okafur. Give me more Reggie Millers and Larry Birds and Michael Jordans and Magic Johnsons and Donovan McNabbs. More AC Greens and Warrick Dunns. Give me more athletes that fit the description of role model...class...respect...integrity...maturity. Why can't the media keep the mics on these type of people? | | |
