It has been quite some time since I have written in here. Not because I haven't had anything to say, but more because I have been busy or my motivation wasn't there. This morning, I have a little motivation, so will probably not be anything special.
Ok. I don't know about you, but although I have strong opinions about my political stand on issues, I do get very irritated about all the political ads on TV and radio. I don't care which side placed the ad or what point or attack it is trying to make. This year was the worst. When we were living in Phoenix, the worst part was all the signs. You coldn't go down any street with out seeing countless signs telling you to vote for this candidate or that one or to vote for or agains this or that proposition. They were everywhere. And then after the election, they took forever to take them all down. So they started fining candidates for every sign that was left up after a certain date. Of course it didn't work very well. But as far as radio and tv ads, there weren't that many...even right up to and the day of the election. But, here in Missouri, there seemed to be more air time given to political ads than actual programming. Watching a 30min sitcom there were probably 20 min political attack ads and 10 min. of actual show. The worst collection of ads that I ever saw from both sides. I knew there was a reason that I hate politions. There there seemed to be 100 times more mud slinging here than in Phoenix. Is it the part of the country or was it particular to this election? I don't know and don't care.
On thing that this election confirmed for me is the difference between liberals and conservatives. It seems ok for liberals to attack and attack and sling mud and incorporate that into their SOP (standard operating procedure for those of you who tried real hard in school but were just too stupid and had to became liberals). It is ok for them to stoop so low with their attacks and then pat themselfs on the back for doing a good job. But when a conservative puts up a similar ad, they are chastised for being hateful, uncaring, mean mudslingers. It is this type of crap that makes me hate liberals, not just that they don't care about anyone but themselves and power.
An article in the Kansas City Star titled "I'm positive about this: We all lost" the writer,Greg Clark, says:
"...so many candidates not only forgot their manners, they forgotthat they were seeking office as public servants. Theyforgot that servanthood means working for somebody else. It means personal sacrifice. It means honoring the best interests of citizens. Can anybody explain how listening to a months-long barage of attack ads is in the interest of anybody?"
and he goes on to say: "...instead of servanthood, the big candidatesbowed to the three M's: Muscle, money,and mud. They forgot the fourth M: Morality."
Morality...something severly lacking in politics. Especialy Dems and libs.
He hit the nail on the head. And I don't think it will ever change unless politicos...especially liberals...start really caring about this great country and its great people instead of themselves and the power they lust after.
This is One Man's Opinion but I wish more had this view.

I Don't Understand
There are a lot of things in the world that I don't understand. For instance, how they get a satalite to stay in geosyn orbit or the social structure of an ant colony or how they get those tiny little ships in bottles. But it doesn't bother me that I don't understand these things. But lately there are some things that I don't quite understand and they are really getting at me.
First is, if a US citizen was cought getting into Mexico illegally, he would be thrown in jail and no one would have a problem with that. But if a Mexican is caught coming into the United States illegally and thrown in jail, certain groups of people throw a fit. Why is that? Why is it wrong to enforce certain laws in this country. If we do, it is called racism. I just don't get it.
Why is it called racism to want to have the laws in our country enforced? Because of the nimrods, bleeding hearts, liberals and all the other worthless people out there think that just because that someone is poor and trying to make a better life for themselves or their family it is ok for them to break the law. I thought justice was supposed to be blind.
As I have said before, I am not against people wanting to come to this country to have a better life. I am just against them doing it illegally. And make no mistake, just because the media refuses to call these people illegal aliens doesn't mean they aren't. The ones that are here agains the law should be sent back. I don't care if they have family here or jobs or whatever reason, they need to go back. End of story. Life is rough so deal with it.
Another thing. If the mexicans coming to this country and the ones that are still here are so proud of being mexican and of their country, why the HELL don't they do something to make their own country great instead of screwing up ours. Mexico has an abundance of resources...including oil. Enough to get Mexico on par with the US. Why don't they work to fix their own country? There are plenty of intelegent, smart and hardworking people in Mexico to create a great country. Maybe should change their name from Mexican to Mexican't. What ever the reason, the ones who are here illegally (whatever country they are from) need to get the fuck back to their own country and go through the proper processes to come into this country legally otherwise stay the fuck out!

Protest March in Downtown Phoenix
Yesterday, there was a march through downtown Phoenix to protest mainly a passed in the House of Representatives that deals with illegal aliens and those that hire and help them. The numbers were supposedly in the thousands, but I suspect that most were themselves not here legally.
The bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in December, sponsored by Republican Wisconsin Rep. James Sensenbrenner, calls for tough border security and enforcement measures and would make it a federal crime, instead of a civil offence, for illegal aliens to live in the country. It would also penalise people for helping illegals...something which should have been done a long time ago.
I have lived in Phoenix all my life and have seen and experienced this growing problem first hand. Of all the issues facing this country and this state, the problem of illegals coming into this country angers me the most.
This is the United States of America(ns), not part of Mexico. Last time I checked, it was against the law to enter this country without going through proper channels. What angers me most of all is that once here, these illegals demand all the benefits and rights that legal citizens of this country are entitled to. The Constitution of the United States applies to legal citizens of this country. If someone wants the rights and protections of this document they must obtain legal status by getting a proper visa or becoming a citizen. All medical and social programs should be given to legal citizens first every time then to people who have entered this country legally.
I know someone (a legal citizen of the United States) personally who because of health problems went to get social security and Medicare/Medicaid to help with medical expenses but was denied. Yet people who enter this country illegally can get the health care free of charge that he was denied. That is absoulutely not right.It should be the other way around. Illegals should get nothing. If they want the opportunities that this country can offer, then knock and come through the front door instead of breaking in through the back door and demanding the right to live here.
And no, I don't believe this country's economy would collaps if all illegals were sent home. And I don't believe in guest worker programs. There are plenty of people with legal status to do the work.
If there are people out there that believe the government should pay for healthcare for these people then they can donate their own money if they want but don't tell me I have to give my money to help people that are here illegally.
If the people who feel sorry for these illegals because they have no opportunities in Mexico to provide for their families or to have a good live and it is ok for them to come to this country against the law...these bleeding hearts should move to Mexico and work to improve conditions in that country so they wouldn't feel the need to come here or give them their own money.
Why can't they make their own country better instead of making ours worse.
And no, I am not raceist or anything of the sort. I have no problem with people from other countries wanting to come here through the legal process. And yes, I am aware that it can take a long time, but that is life. I am just against people who come here against the law demanding that they are entitled to all the benefits and opportunities the United States has to offer that should only be for legal citizens or legal immigrants.
Get them out, close the border and maybe they will get their lazy ass off the couch or porch and fix the problems of their own country like they should have instead of bringing problems to this country.
One more thing. If someone is going to come to this country and try and live and make a better life for themselves and their family, they can at least learn the language first or make an effort to when they get here. I am tired of trying to communicate with someone who doesn't speak the language of this country...English.
