Threats against Obama

November 15, 2008 at 10:56 am (Conservative, Enviroment, Politics, Veterans)

The MSM is making a big deal out of the alleged threats against Pres. Elect Obama. Where was this same media when similar threats were made against President Bush? The Left’s blogs were full of calls for the death of Bush and Chaney. Even today you can see this. The MSM praised a movie depicting the assignation of the president. Some of the pundits were vocal in their dreams that the movie would become reality.
It is apparent that the left does not support free speech now that they are in power. Especially speech that does not agree with their radical agenda. They said nothing about the display of Sarah Palin being lynched but scream racism when the same thing happens to the Lord Obama. Why should this surprise anyone? The Left has been screaming Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press for years. At the same time their actions; i.e.: burning of college conservative magazines and shouting down of conservative speakers on college campuses; professors failing students whose political ideology disagrees with their; calls for the firing of conservative professors who dare disagree with the Left while claiming “Intellectual Freedom” for people like William Ayers, prove they DO NOT really support Freedom.
I wonder if the Left will consider this post a threat. It would not surprise me. Their history shows that anytime one speaks out against them that person is either accused of threating speech or hate speech. Their history shows they refuse to debate the reality of a subject but use name calling and “feelings” when the facts do not support their beliefs. Look at the difference in their treatment of Bush and Obama. Look at their religious support at Al Gore and his Global Warming fairy tail. The facts do not support their theories in either case so they use name-calling and misdirection in an attempt to discredit those who dare to call them to task.
The Left thinks of themselves as intellectuals and calls the Right bumpkins who they like to compare to the old Know Nothing Party. In reality it is the Left that best illustrates that party. It is the Left that is closed minded. It is the Left that attempts to silence any disagreement with their radical agenda. I am NOT calling and NEVER will call for the silencing of the Left. I believe in Freedom of Speech. I have fought to keep this nation free. I may disagree with what the Left says, but I will continue to support their right to say what they want. I just wish they would give me the same consideration. History shows this is a hollow desire. The Left has never really supported freedom. They only support those who march in LOCK STEP with them. They consider everyone else dangerous. In that I agree with them. The Right is dangerous to their beliefs. When people use their brains instead of their emotions to compare the beliefs they invariably support the Conservative position.
If you depend on the MSM for your news you will never hear both sides. Hell, even their division of the nation into blue and red states proves their bias. The color red has always been used to depict Communist contras like Russia and China. Were the MSM to be honest they would have called the conservative states Blue and the liberal States. The MSM knows this. They did not do it by accident. They are experts in using speech to distract those who think with their emotions instead of their brains.
The time is long past to call them to task for their LIES. The time for Americans to start using their brains is NOW before it is too late (if it is not already too late).

Veterans Day

November 11, 2008 at 5:24 pm (Politics, Veterans, Viet Nam)

Why do retailers find it necessary to hold Veterans Day sales? Don’t they have enough reasons already for a sale? There are two days that should not be the subject of retail sales. These days are Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Memorial Day was started as a day to remember those Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, so this nation could remain free. It is time for this country to again take time to honor these brave men and women. It is they and not the politician who are the reason we remain free to do things like post in blogs.
The other day is Veterans Day. Today is a day to say thank you to the men and women who gave up their youth in service of this country. Not all of us served during times of conflict, but we all delayed starting our careers to serve our fellow men.
One of our local retailers did something I find commendable. As a way of thanking veterans they are giving a free ½ gal. Of ice cream to all veterans who stop in. They require no purchase. Why don’t more people do this?
Today I spent some time reflecting on my life. I realized that my birthday, January 26 will also be the 40th Anniversary of my return from Viet Nam. I was 21 years old. Believe me, I was not the same person who went to Nam. Even now, nearly 40 years latter I wake up in cold sweats screaming from the nightmares. They will never go away.
I am not asking for you to feel sorry for me. I don’t even expect you to say thank you to me. But please take the time to say thank you to the veterans in your life.
