Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine

The video below is from Ron Reagan in 1961. He was addressing an issue back then that we are eye to eye with right now.

Sad Detroit

Its a strange feeling when you see a video and you are looking forward to making a joke or two and you can't, its just too sad.

Living close to Detroit(30 miles, which is close enough)I guess its easy to dismiss these types of images. Sadly it becomes common place to see rows of homes burned down or just dilapidated, and we all know that if a door is open in one of these houses its being used as a drug house. Great video from Steven Crowder.

The Common Bond

I've seen a couple of videos from this Gentleman, and I have to say that getting back to a more conservative, common bond doesn't sound like a bad idea. Why is everyone so gung-ho to change this? The Presidents platform of "Hope and Change" wasn't to change America as a whole....did it? If it did, I totally missed that one, and don't want anything to do with it.

Something else that comes up is that I can't afford to pay for all of these government programs and reforms. All of this change is going to cost us, and all of this cost is going to be paid for by the tax paying Americans, not the immigrant, not the below the poverty line American, no its the screwed middle class and above who is stuck with the tab.

If we are so concerned with feeding and providing for the poor, why don't we drastically reduce our foreign aid. Since our foreign policy is so bad anyway, why bother giving money to countries that don't appreciate it or that misappropriates it?

Since we are in such financial difficulty why doesn't another more sound financial country take on the burden of the World? I'll tell you what I feel is the reason they don't, self preservation, they are looking out for number one.

Finally, what's so wrong with feeling or thinking "America first"? Someone has too.

Too Much Government

When Obama was talking about change, and most of the population fell for it, I had no Ideal that it was going to lead to Czars and government takeover of companies.

With a major deficit in the Trillions why bring in more government employees, and especially when these employees have incredibly high salaries? More government is counter-productive and not what our fore-fathers intended.

With that in mind, listen to this speech from President R. Reagan as he tells us who works for who. See below.

In my opinion I don't want the government running the companies that I deal with to purchase anything, they (government) can't even run themselves at a profit so why mess with the business world. I don't feel all of the American car companies were ran as defective as GM, Ford seems to be dealing with its situation fairly well or at least the media hasn't been reporting much about them. Another thing is why would the government takeover some financial institutions, just because it had the money to loan them? Why I ask that as a question is because how can you loan money when you owe soooo much. Also why should I then have any faith that our health care would be run properly?


I for one am very nervous for what the future holds for Americans.

Sad but true song parody

This song pretty much sums up how a majority of Americans are feeling about the current administration. Saw a statistic on the news last night, the presidents' approval rating is down to 42%. The lowest any president has ever dropped in the first 8 months of office. Keep up the good work Obama.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Last weekend we went to Selfridge ANG Base in MI to see the airshow. The US Air Force Thunderbirds were performing. Those pilots are truly amazing. We all loved the show. This is not footage from that actual show but from another Thunderbirds performance in Kansas City. The person videotaping does his/her best to video the action. It isn't like being there, but it does give you a sense of how truly talented these men and women of our armed forces are. As a citizen of this great country, I encourage all americans to go to an airshow that is showcasing our armed forces. Show them your support!!!!

Have you ever been punched or accidentally hit in the stomach really hard and ripped one? Well my four year old son jumped on me while laying on the floor watching tv and I had some wind forced from my body through the lower blow-hole. This boxer in the video knows what I'm talkin about.

2nd Amendment PERIOD!!!

This video may be old, I don't know the date of it, but it rendered me speechless (not an easy task). It for once puts the 2nd amendment and what it truly means out on the table for the politicians to see. Not for them to interpret how they see fit, but for the essence of it's true meaning. After all, George Washington and our founding fathers never said the 2nd amendment was the right of hunters to have hunting guns, but the right of every american to bare arms for their own protection and freedom!!!!!

Totally showing my age on this one...

Driving around listening to satellite radio. What can I say, this song came on and it was 1983 all over again. Thinking about how incredibly awful the video's of the 1980's were, made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes, (like I said, I am showing my age. Wearing "depends" shouldn't be far off now!! LOL!!!) Anyway, I liked most of the hair bands then (bad videos and all) and I guess I still do. So I thought I would share the mind numbingly bad video that was the thought process for this post, with all of you!! ENJOY!!!!

That's rich after my Economy Sucks post below....

Friday excitement

Cool interactive ride of the incredible hulk rollercoaster at Universal Studios. Pvt Gump and I have been on this ride and it almost feels like you are there.

The Economy Sucks!

Things are looking a little bleak on the full time job front. Here in Michigan we are staring at a 12+% unemployment rate, and after this GM bankruptcy on Monday it could get as high as 19-20%. It is a sad and scary time for us with young kids. My pay has been cut three times in the past two and a half years...this time was a 40% cut for a total of 52% in two and a half years...

My wife is being a great supporter and is going to be looking for a job herself, but it's the kids that I feel for. My goal was for them to have it better than I did, to have things I didn't when I was young. Not that it was my Mom's fault, she did the very best she could being a single parent, so it really means a lot to me to give my kids the best I can.

On another note, its fairly exciting to get away from a job I have disliked for 4 of the 7 years I have been there, but honestly there are no jobs available so I have to suck-it-up for a bit longer.

We have a family vacation coming up in a week or so and I have to say I don't feel very good about going, I mean any money spent is just going to make things that much harder no matter how much my parents are springing for. Its like added guilt, shame, whatever you call it, it just doesn't sit very well. I know my parents will say things like it will be ok, it will all turn out for the best, the same old stuff that never makes you feel any better ever.

All right, I'm done whining. I do know that there are a lot of people out there who have it much harder than I do, but its all relative to your situation and right now my situation seems like a tough one for me.

Good Luck to all in these tough economic times!

Guns!! We need em'.

Feeling rather political today. Just got my NRA membership card in the mail too. So it seemed natural for me to go in the direction of gun control. It is vitally important to the freedoms of the American citizen (notice I didn't say people, too many aren't citizens but want our rights anyway), to vocalize strongly that the right to bare arms is an amendment that should never be challenged or restricted in any way. The liberals in government want you to believe that they just want to ban assault rifles but guess what?, ALL semi-automatic guns can be considered assault guns on some level if the liberals try hard enough. I am including a video from one of my favorite political you-tube personalities. Check out more of his videos. He is very light-hearted, and insightful yet very serious about the direction this country is going. And let me tell you, it isn't going in a good direction.

Free 1 year NRA Membership

Click the title link above or copy paste the link below for your free NRA membership. It's a limited one year membership to help support your second amendment rights, even if you don't own a gun you have to see the value in protecting any of your given rights by our forefathers. If this RIGHT goes away what could be next? I do not want my right to protect myself and my family taken away by my government!

President Obama is focusing on legal gun rights and making restrictions on certain types and makes of guns, rifles, and the amount of ammo in ones possession. Sure that can all make sense in certain situations, but not a general blanket law across the board. Ask a criminal what scares them the most when they are "working", and the answer will almost always be "Breaking into a home where the home owner may be armed", that's enough for me to keep my arms.

Don't be ignorant.

Ok, so maybe ignorant is a little harsh. But let's call a spade a spade then shall we... Why on earth does the liberal media and the liberals in congress keep trying to make this country into a communist or at the very least socialist country? And an even bigger question is why do we level headed americans (read republicans), just stand here with our jaws wide open, staring in disbeilf but not finding ways to get this counrty back to having a moral conscience. This first video shows a young man (kid actually) who has a better grasp on morallity than most adults. He is a refreshing change from the youth of today. He is evven a refreshing change from the adult society of today.
I must give Pvt. Gump all the credit for finding these two videos. They are both required veiwing in my humble opinion.



This video shows that George Bush tried to warn Congress in 2002 that this economic crisis was coming, if something was not done. But congress refused to listen, along with Barney Franks. This video says it all.

Also that the liberal AMERICAN media did not want this video on You Tube, so they had Time Warner threaten a law suit (proprietary rights) if it was not taken off.

This video is everywhere and now its here! Its a must see video of a child just leaving the Dentist office, and he's a little "high".

Out of the mouths of Babes...

Come things parents shouldn't have said. As the proud parent of a 5 year old and a 3 1/2 year old, I realize no truer saying exists. This knowledge only comes to me by way of experience of course.

For an example, do yourself a favor and change the name of the stores you frequent if you don't want the world to know your shopping habits. My 5 year old loves to let everyone she encounters know that mommy's favorite store is Champagnes wine shoppe. This revelation is over-emphasized to her Grandparents on both sides of course. "Mommy", she says, "We need to go to Champagnes, we are out of wine." Both children are so comfortable there that they now love to go use the bathroom of said store when we are shopping. Of course no trip would be complete without sharing that tidbit of information to the cashier. I am sure she was thrilled to know my 3 1/2 year old went 2 big poo-poos. He was more than happy to tell her that, and she was truly excited (pick up on the sarcasm please) to hear all about it. He is also very willing to let you know that Optimus Prime is on his butt (He's a transformer for those of you that don't know what I am talking about.) He will drop trow to show you the underwear too. You don't even have to ask. Of course this prompts 5 year old to let you know that she has on Princess underwear.

I dread the day the 5 year old walks in on Mommy and Daddy playing "hide the bratwurst" (German heritage shining through in that saying huh?). She will probably take out an ad in the New York Times to ensure she doesn't miss telling anyone.

The 3 year old is actually the worst offender of inappropriate behavior. Just the other day he was looking at his trains and said f...(rhymes with truck), d...(rhymes with ram) look at this mess! Flash to the scene in A Christmas Story when Ralphie says the queen mother of all dirty words...That was my reaction. Or another example, We were out to dinner with Grandma, Daddy, Mommy and both kids. 3 1/2 year old need to go potty. Daddy takes him and when they came back to the table, 3 year old announces that Daddy has a big penis. (Daddy never looked prouder).

For anyone who never saw A Christmas Story, first off, "What the hell is wrong with you, go rent that movie." Secondly, enjoy the clip.
