I'm Back!

Well, after some long breaks of not writing, I am back tonight. Im sure the few people who read my blog regularly have long left. If not, thanks for staying with me. I have just been so stressed out with my job, trying to start working out again, on vacation, getting ready for turkey season, and most of all.........so fed up with politics that I was worried I would give myself a heart attack if I kept going at the pace I was.

I will tell you one thing. Day by day I am more and more concerned about the direction our country is heading. I will tell you right now. I am voting for McCain. No doubt about it. The democrats seriously worry the hell out of me. While I have been away, I have still been staying on top of things. There were so many times where I wanted to get on here and blog about something that was said on Glenn Beck, Hannity and Colmes, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, etc. But, I forced myself not to. I have been perusing the courier and press message boards and reading comments. I have also been checking out a new site I found called redblueamerica.com. This is a great site if you want to read views from both sides, which I do. So, some things I have seen that concern me. I see comments by obvious liberals and left wingers that remind me of nearly hitleresque rhetoric, and it is now apparent to me their socialist agenda. There is a left wing conspiracy. To destroy capitalism, redistribute wealth, and thrust us into a socialist government. Throw out the constitution, and start it all over in their view. The first time I saw Jonah Goldberg (author of Liberal Facsism) on Glenn Beck and then Hannity and Colmes, I thought, come on now, this is getting a little crazy. But I am starting to see the similarities clearly. Just take the comments off of the courier and press website today from a couple well known self described liberals:

It is clear the objective of the conservative repubs who post here is to keep this country in perpetual war to the benefit of corporatism, destory the middle class and drive it into servitude for the benefit of corporatism, and to establish a white christian ruling class that will make other races and non-christians subservient to them. This is the ugly truth that began surfacing when they stole the presidency for idiot boy in 2000 and has snowballed since. They will try to subvert the coming election and will prevent it if possible. They are a bigger threat to the US than any foreign country has ever been. Wake up America, turn them out, drive them down and condemn them to never win an election again. They ARE the enemy.

Is that all you republicans can do is criticize the other party for having ideas and solutions to our problems. You say we are in a dream world. I think you conservatives have been so stuck on your capitalistic dogma that you no longer have creative brain cells in your head. Maybe after we force you into our way of thinking you will actually enjoy it. Look at the Clinton years. Compare them to now, sounds like the progressive thinkers can claim the victory here.

For years we have had conservative republicans uphold this idea of capitalism. Look at where it has gotten us as a whole. There is a small group of rich people that hold 80% of the money and the rest of us have to fight for the other 20%. Talk about someone ruling with their thumb, look at the gas prices, whos thumb are you under now?

We need to take that 80% and distribute it out to those who are having a hard time and need to raise a family. Take that 80% and provide health care to everyone, not just the wealthy. The most anyone should be able to make is $50k. If you make more than that it needs to be given to those less fortunate. This is how communities work.

...................These comments alone concern me. Notice comments that say- THEY ARE THE ENEMY, and AFTER WE FORCE YOU. I'm afraid if we choose Obama, or Clinton, next our right to own guns will be gone after. Then, it will be apparent what is on the horizon. Congratulations to these two crazy liberals, you, unfortunately won nothing for having your comments posted on my blog. However, I do thank you for your insightfulness into your "progressive thinking." Now, I'm not saying McCain is the answer to all of our problems, but at least I somewhat trust him not to turn us into a socialist government within 6 months of taking office.

Trickle down economics aren't working. Our economy is on the brink of disaster and is going to get worse before it gets better. Pain trickles up very slowly, so whoever the next president is, better try to stabalize things and advance the middle class, instead of looking out for oil companies, the ultra wealthy and corporations that are laying off thousands of employees and moving their "corporate" offices oversees to avoid hundreds of billions in taxes. The middle class needs the attention that the current administration has ignored for 8 years. The politicians from both sides of the isle need to work together and the candidate that can make that happen, will have more success and help the average citizen far more than pushing hardline liberal or conservative ideals. Voters need to stop thinking in terms of republican/democrat, liberal/conservative, and start letting the candidates realize the importance of the voters and not a two party system and their agendas to defeat the other. Voters have been defeated long enough. That is evidenced by our current economic state and view of Americans by other countries around the world. Good luck to the next President, whoever that might be and I hope they have the interest of the people in mind when they are sworn in.

This obama guy is trying to take us down He got this war going at iraq and got oil and gas to go up double and then double again so we cant drive. He is trying to get my beer and cigarettes to go higher and make people sell there homes and take away our freedom. Next thing you know he will be listening to our phone calls and make us brick up our trailers so the tornadoes cant take them. If you want to have anything left you better not vote for this guy he is just trying to ly to us to get us to vote for him and then make us scream like a stuck pig I heard that he has a plan to let all the prisoners out of jail and let them work the coal mines and farms at cheaper wages to help the rich farmers and coal companys
