My Daily Opinion

Exactly what I said would happen in the presidential election happened.  I knew that Mitt Romney did not have what it took to win the election.  It is a shame that we have to endure four more years of an administration that has no respect for religious freedoms.

This administration has no respect for the opinion of midstream America.  This administration has no respect for this nation.  We were an economic superpower.  We were a military superpower.  We were a nation that stood for morality.  Now we are just a fallen nation.

There are going to be more states that legalize the recreational use of marijuana.  There are going to be more states that is going to legalize same-sex marriage.  There are going to be more states that are going to cowtow to the federal government than ever.  The Tenth Amendment is going to cease to exist and we as a nation are going to be oppressed.  Congratulations Obama supporters for betraying your country.

Hello America,

The race card is being thrown all over this election.  Not the policies and the candidate’s position on them, but rather someone is black or white.  I’m sorry, African-American or white.  I wouldn’t want to seem racially insensitive.

Mitt Romney made a speech at the NAACP and was booed.  It’s not a surprise.  I hope he expected to be booed.  Make no mistake, he was booed because he was not African-American; not because of his policies and ideas.  He would have had a better chance going on Showtime at the Apollo.

The bottom line is that we are faced with the same crisis this election that we faced in the last election; one poor black candidate (by record) and one poor white candidate.  The only way this election is going to be determined is by taking off the spell cast amongst black voters that Obama is the best president ever.  Otherwise we will have the same results we did four years ago.

Get off the race track and get on the American track! This country is going down in flames and its’ people are helping it happen! Wake up! Go back to the views and policies and get off the color of the candidate’s skin.  It’s the only way we will go back to being a great nation.

America,

It appears that we are going to have another poor election year for president in 2012.  Of course this is based on the things that I have been reading in the media.  I know you can’t trust them, but it is looking so much like deja vu.

Almost four years ago, the wonderful GOP pitted John McCain against Barack Obama.  What a mistake! Well, it’s looking so much like a repeat with a different label.  Mitt Romney is not presidential material and should not be having so much campaign success.

Leave it to the GOP to screw up another election when it has never been more critical for them to make a sound decision.  What is wrong with Americans and the choices they make?  Placing Mitt Romney against Obama will be a mistake.  If this happens, we may have another four years of a president that never deserved to be in office.

The flip side is that if Romney wins, we are in the same boat.  To quote the old adage: We will jump right out of the fire and into the frying pan.  We’ve got to get it together as a country.  If we don’t, then we may as well be in the EU (European Union).

Ok, ok, let’s keep it moving!  Everyone is equal here.  I know darling, it ought not happen to you.  Keep it moving!  I know, everyone is innocent here.  Keep it moving!  It’s 6:00!

Hello America,

Texas has done the U.S. proud once again by executing another bad guy.  Humberto Leal was executed July 7th for his heinous crime.  The rapist and murderer of Adria Sauceda has been brought to justice.

Humberto Leal, the coward he was, of course tried to avoid taking the big sleep by getting a stay of execution for not being allowed access to the Mexican Consulate.  The barely conservative Supreme Court shot that down in a 5-4 decision.

If you want to come to the U.S. and commit crimes and then try to hide behind your country’s heritage; well that is not going to fly.  If you commit the crime, you will do the time.  If you don’t want the consequences of the U.S. judicial system, then stay the hell in your own country!

If you choose to enter the U.S. from another country, don’t commit any crimes.  If you do, you will pay!  Like the piece of crap Humberto Leal was, there is only one thing left to do; flush it brother, flush it!

Swish!

Hello America,

We have outrage over the comments of another comedian.  This time it’s Tracy Morgan and his unsavory comments about gays.

Well you know what Mr. Morgan, don’t you dare go and apologize to the gay and lesbian community for doing what you do.  You are a comedian and you are not responsible for the things you say.  After all, it is what we expect from comedians today, right?

There are countless times a comedian used off-color humor and offended someone.  Whatever group that is offended in turn demands an apology and then the comedian issues a heartfelt apology.

There is always an exception.  What is the exception you ask?  The exception is when the off-color humor is pointed at God.  Forget the fact that He created the universe and all that is in it.  Forget that He is more important than any man, woman, or creature on this earth.

No matter how offended the Christian community was at the “humorous” antics of Kathy Griffin and her insults launched at God during an awards acceptance speech; no apology was offered.  It was said overwhelmingly on morning shows across America, “that’s just what comedians do”.

Outstanding!  Mr. Morgan, make sure you remind these morning shows who are outraged and calling for your execution that, “this is just what comedians do”.

The other day I walked by a Latin magazine with a picture of Sonia Sotomayor on the cover touting her as being the first latin female Supreme Court Justice.  I recall similar headlines on the cover of a Black magazine when Barack Obama was elected president of the United States.  In fact, I can recall many previous headlines being alike the beforementioned when a minority accomplished something for the first time. 

It occurred to me the reason for all the hoopla was because this was the first time that a minority had ever accomplished anything.  Wait, that’s not right.  Clarence Thomas accomplished an appointment to the Supreme Court.  Mae Jamison was the first black female astronaut.  I would fill the blog if I listed the many first that both blacks and hispanics have achieved.  Well, I thought that I figured out why there was so much to do about noting when a minority has accomplished a “first”. 

Oh, I got it!  Minorities are so inferior to others, that it’s a miracle for them to accomplish anything great.  There isn’t an expectation for minorities to be anything but losers.  Of course we should throw ticker tape parades when a minority accomplishes more than welfare.  Blacks and hispanics are so lazy and intellectually inept that we should monumentalize any advancement made by any individual having any association with their ethnic background.

Offended?  You should be!  Everytime the media makes a big deal when a minority accomplishes something in society, you should be offended!  No one has more intelligence than another just because of their ethnic background.  I am not an advocate for Michael Jackson, but he said it best in one of his songs, “I’m not going to spend my life being a color”.  We are all human beings and anyone is capable of being anything they wish to become.  The next time someone makes a big deal about having a black president or a hispanic supreme court justice, let them know that you are offended at the implication that they are special for any other reason than their accomplishment. 

Obama is not black president Barack Obama.  Sotomayor is not hispanic justice Sonia Sotomayor.  It is just President Obama and Justice Sotomayor.  If you, like me, are offended when referred to by your race before your title; let the media know that you don’t appreciate the implication.  If you don’t mind being referred to by your race before all else, then by all means carry on.

America,

There has been so much conjecture about who’s to blame for the present state of the economy.  The first target of blame was George W. Bush.  The next target was Bill Clinton.  The other day I saw an article that placed the blame on Ronald Reagan.  Give me a break!

The blame cannot be placed on any present or former president.  The blame is a lot simpler and a lot closer to home.  The reason the economy is in a poor state currently is because of two entities: corporate america and consumers.

That’s right! The buck stops here!  We, the consumer are partly to blame for the current financial situation here in the United States.  We are the ones who had to have that new car or the latest technology.  We are the ones that throw out perfectly working products because the “newest” edition has one more feature.

The consumer (you) went out to the department and electronic stores and purchased at will.  You are the ones that lived above your means.  You are the ones that lost your appeal for the three year old automobile and chose to purchase a new one.  You are the ones that decided to buy, buy, buy.

Instead of purchasing a pre-owned home; you went out and bought a new home.  To top it off, you got a loan with a lower adjustable rate during a time when the rate was the lowest in history.  Congratulations! The rate went up and so did your payments.  Now you want to cry foul! You gambled, you lost, and now you want a do-over.  Sorry! Take responsibility for your actions and live with the consequences!

Don’t think you are the only culprits here.  The mighty corporations are also at fault.  While you were patronizing their establishments in droves, they were worried that if they didn’t capitalize on their good fortune then it would go away.  Did they do the responsible thing? No, they did the irresponsible thing by building more stores.  They stood on the philosophy of “If you build it, they will come.” That is exactly what the consumer did.

Well, the interest rates on those low adjustable rate loans went up and people stopped coming.  Well, what does the corporations do now? That’s right! They start to layoff and close stores.  The supply becomes less in demand.  Keeping what we have is more feasible than replacing it with the product that has that one new feature.

After the dust has settled, the loans that the consumers received for that new home can’t be paid back.  The loans that the corporations received to open those new stores can’t be paid back because the consumers stopped coming.  The banks now sit on a bunch of defaulted loans from the corporations and the consumers, so they now start to layoff also.

In all of this, how can a president of the past or present be responsible? He cannot because he did not cause the corporations and consumers to borrow and spend irresponsibly, or the banks to loan irresponsibly.  He is just the leader of the FREE world.  You were free to make the mistakes that caused our recession.  If you don’t want to be free to make those mistakes again, then leave the free world.  Make no mistake, you are largely to blame for our country’s financial problems.

Some years back, a member of the Dixie Chicks said that they were embarrassed to be an American. Today, I echo that statement. I can’t understand how this country turned into what it is today.

To all the black people who voted for the president because of the color of his skin; I say to you congratulations. You have proven once again that you have failed as a race and as a countryman. You have shown that you cannot be trusted with making important decisions.

You have achieved history by electing the first black president of the United States of America. You have ordered your change. Now you will get what you ordered: a ride on the welfare train, the hand-me-outs that you were accustomed to under the Clinton Administration, and your piece of the government cheese that you have been addicted to since birth.

You have proven that you can come together as a race in actions other than rioting, complaining, and blaming the “man” for your problems, bravo! Now get in line together and accept your reward; four years of the wealthy paying your way.

Ok, Ok let’s keep it moving. Everyone’s equal here. I know darling, it ought not happen to you, keep it moving. Yep, I know, you’re innocent, everyone here is. It’s 6:00!

Eric Nenno was executed in Texas on October 28, 2008 for raping and murdering a seven year old girl named Nicole Benton in March 1995. This scumbag lured the girl into his home by telling her he needed to get his guitar so he could join a birthday celebration for her father. Once inside, he attacked her, strangled her to keep her quiet, then raped her at least twice after she was dead.

The cowardly Nenno wrote in a clemency petition, that was rejected unanimously by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, he has often thought about the devastating grief and pain he caused Nicole Benton, her family, and her friends and that there was no excuse nor rationale which would be sufficient to justify this heinous act of violence perpetrated by him. He added that nothing could excuse his crime and he can’t apologize enough.

His apology was accepted at 6:00 p.m. on October 28th in the year of 2008 when he was given the big sleep. There is only one thing left to do; flush it brother, flush it. Swish!!

America,

John McCain had to do only one simple thing and that was to keep his word and he couldn’t do that. If he is already incapable of keeping his word, then what do we have to look forward to in the future?

McCain said that he would not participate in the debate if there was not a decision on the financial bailout. It seemed like a reasonably simple word to keep, yet he couldn’t do it. At first hearing of his statement, came a sense of pride over me. It rang out loud to me that McCain was a person who had a “service before self” attitude.

What a kick in the teeth! I am not the only one that feels this way. I feel that his participation in the debate and his obvious inability to keep his word helped in the failure of the financial bailout. McCain has lost a lot of Republican support over his decision not to keep his word and may have handed Barack Obama the presidency. Pailin cannot bail him out of the fire on this one. He sealed his own fate.
