Misc. Items That Bug Me!

$700 billion dollars- You know I’ll admit that I’m not the smartest guy out there but certainly far from the dumbest. Probably more street-smart than book-smart on several fronts but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what Congress just did or plans to do with the $700 billion dollars we will have to pay for? What exactly is their plan for this funding? Can someone please explain it?

It appears to me that all they did was look like they had to react to something by “stealing” our money and passing this bill. God for bid they were a little proactive when it came to protecting the American people and economy. They certainly were when it came to re-structuring bonus plans so that they could line their pockets with millions while driving companies into the ground, or accepting record contributions or “sweet-heart” mortgage deals, positioning gay lovers into key director roles at government run agencies or rejecting any attempt to address these issues that would expose them for the greedy-sorry-asses they are!

Hurricane Ike- is it just me or has anyone else noticed the lack of media coverage for all of the devastation in Texas caused by hurricane Ike? When Katrina hit New Orleans all we heard about was all of the damage and who caused it and how the federal government didn’t do enough to avoid it, fix it and prevent it from ever happening again for months and months….we saw pictures splashed all over the news of looting and other horrific acts. Why is it that the same coverage doesn’t apply here and the State of Texas is doing all of the clean-up on their own?

Liberals & Religion- What’s up with the Liberals always panning religion? Are there no Liberals who attend church or try to put God into their own or their children’s lives? Instead they come up with sound-bite gems like “all Republicans cling to their bibles and their guns”. What nit-wit is responsible for that intellectual statement? If it were true, there would probably a few less Liberals out there because we would open our bibles to say a prayer before we put a “cap in their ass” for making such idiotic statements.

And what about Bill Maher with his new anti-religion movie? Is it just me or is anyone else out there repulsed by the mere sight of him and feels the uncontrollable urge to just smash his face!

Bill Ayers- Can someone tell me why this guy is not in prison? Instead he is lauded as an intellectual and esteemed member of Chicago-Illinois University so that he can continue to mold the minds of college students into the same far-left radical nuts like him. This may be a stretch but how is this type of training any different than the Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan? You know when you look closer, this may be more dangerous since these people are already imbedded in our country and can eat at our principles from within…kind of like a cancer!

Obama- I don’t have a problem with him being of African-American decent, like I don’t have a problem with women leading nations. History has shown that many women have been very successful leading nations. My “rub” is that Obama’s views and doctrine are a breath away from the “socialist handbook”. Despite his lack of “true” experience and the fact that during his brief term in the US Senate he really hasn’t done anything of tangible measure, I really question his judgment and accountability when it comes to his associations with the likes of Bill Ayers & Jeremiah Wright. If he claims to be so mainstream and in touch with the ordinary American public, I would like to ask all of you to look at the views of the 2 people mentioned who he so closely aligns himself with, (until it became un-popular to do so), and say do these people share the views of anybody I know? I don’t think so. So, does that mean that we are out of touch with the overall beliefs of mainstream America? Obama is a bright and articulate guy who is extremely likable and can convey a message. Unfortunately his message is pretty hollow and nothing new from the typical liberal mantra (Dems for the poor- Reps- for the big business). You know if these guys are so against big business then why have so many of them profited from it?

Getting back to Obama’s ability to deliver a speech. He’s pretty good, but the last time I looked good speeches didn’t translate into accountable actions that will benefit this nation. I’m not completely sure that McCain is the answer either, but I sure hope that the majority of the people can look beyond the good speeches and hollow promises to start holding these politicians accountable. Unfortunately, my fear is that most of the people won’t take the time to educate themselves and make an uninformed decision based on what they perceive is a great looking package…have you ever opened a present that was wrapped in pretty paper with bows and told yourself that something so nice on the outside must have something great on the inside only to find out it wasn’t so? Look at all the bows Obama is wearing!

AIG- It has just come to light that after the US government (you and me) bailed out AIG to the tune of $85billion to keep them out of bankruptcy; these yahoos went on a “junket trip” to a California spa and spent a few hundred thousand dollars! When was the last time you were at a spa and could spend that much when you couldn’t pay your bills? These guys should go to jail…


Debate Hosts- Not sure that the choices thus far of debate moderators have been un-biased. It appears to me that they all have been from the main-stream liberal media and have had the latitude to sway some issues to their liking. I will say that Gwen Ifill did a good job on the VP debate although she is writing a book on Obama that she didn’t disclose prior to the debate. I was concerned with Tom Brokaw’s performance last night. The fact that he hand-selected the line of questioning and seemed to interject his own personal points I feel favored Obama. In a town hall setting, there was much more that they could have done to make the line of questioning more broad-based and personal so that we could really see the candidates. Why can’t we see a Brit Hume or Bill O’Reilly moderate one of these things? Do ya think it would raise a little uproar on the Libs side? Either way, I’m not really sure McCain did what he needed to. Maybe it’s his delivery but I felt that he came off as desperate while Obama was his usual cool self, even though what he says is BS!

Obama’s appeal- The question I have been asking myself is what are the real reasons of Obama’s appeal? Is Obama so popular because of himself or has he benefited mainly from the left’s hatred of George Bush? Like I mentioned earlier, he is a likable guy and a good orator, but are these loons who support him so blinded by their rage and dislike of everything Bush that they will turn to anything whether it’s good or not without really looking under the hood.

(Remember that nicely wrapped package?)
