What exactly am I missing here.Why, from the top man down, are the Dems,just rolling over and letting the Republicans walk all over them?The Tea Party has for some reason become a force to deal with.The Republicans are out and out lying about everything Obama has done.They are clearly standing in the way of progress,yet nothing is said .Grayson and Weiner seem to be the only voices of strength.Harry Reid is a joke in my opinion.If she wasn't such a loon I almost wish Angle would defeat him! Almost,lol.
When are these guys going to say enough is enough? Kerry sat back and took it,as did Dukakis years ago. That.worked out pretty good,huh?
The time has come to tell all the naysayers to shut up,or put up!Joe Biden is another one who stood up to them and was left flying in the breeze.Where is the unity?Why won't the Dems use the muscle they have ,stop kissing ,you know what,and get on with it.
Throw out Leiberman from any form of power,Next time they say filibuster,say lets go.DON'T CAVE.It makes it hard, with all that the Republicans have done through out the last 100 years, to accept what is going on now.It isn't like they are going to make the country better.Far,far from it!
Yet day after day the Dems let themselves get either backed into a corner or remain silent .This is not leadership.This is,well I don't know what it is,but it isn't what I was looking for.Pep rallies are good for high school football games.We need our President to come out swinging now,and the rest of the Dems to follow suit.Enough is enough.If these guys aren't dealt with it will mean at least 4 more years of nothing.It will mean laws will be overturned ,more rights stripped,ect,.
I think the answer is as plain as the face on your nose.Fight back,and fight back now!!!!!
This is a crucial time in the history of our country,we can not allow all that we can accomplish,to go up in smoke.We have played nice.We have played fair.That and a half dollar will get you the paper.The time has come to take off the gloves,and show the Republicans what exactly we are made of!
DO NOT MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS!That should be the Democratic war cry!!!

The Tea Party Movement ...No Joke Now
I ,along with million's, thought these guys were funny people, with whacked out, mis-spelled signs and hilarious costumes! I mean,who could take anyone serious, with teabags hanging off their hat?Well,I certainly misjudged these lunatics and their whole "I want my country back war "cry.These guys are playing for keeps and now are a force to be reckoned with. They are destroying the basic fabric of this country! They are deciding elections ,now.They are defeating long term Republicans ,who don't agree with their outrageous way of life.They are forcing their narrow minded views, on the rest of the country!
Nevada,Alaska,Delaware,California,Florida...and other points in between . What should be a cake walk, isn't!Their leaders deal in sound bites and really have NO plans,but it is the sound bites people are listening to.
What started as a small band of fools has taken over the country. Funded by big bucks. Funded by millionaires who could give a rats' patooy about these people . None is so blind as those that will not see.And these people are blind.
If we sit on our collective bottoms ,these people will be running the country!They are already too close for comfort.Every free thinking American should be paying attention.Judges will be changing laws,to suit the new base.Washington will be passing new laws ...to suit the base.Our way of life as we know it will disappear!
I, too, thought they were a joke I, too, didn't take them serious.If we don't unite against them the joke will be on us !

The Nov. Elections
Well,the dust is being settled .The Tea Party is claiming huge victories,as well they should.Voter apathy has put them in a position they should never be in.This is something every free thinking person,needs to look at.We can not allow this to happen in November! I honestly feel, if these people are put in some kind of control ,it would truly be the end of this country as we know it!
The solution is right in front of us.VOTE!Please do not sit back and think these people will loon themselves out. It ain't gonna happen!We need to gather our resources,and pitch in anyway we can!Send money,volunteer,hold signs and most of all spread the word to your neighbor's and friends!
I am not alone in feeling the Tea Party is a bunch of disatisfied bigot's,not liking a Black man as preident.They are pushing their morals on all of us ,in this land of the free.It will be only their freedom that will rule ,if they get in!
The country is in a self imposed revolution for all the wrong reasons.For some reason it was cool for the last president to break every rule there was.If we spoke out against him ,we were called traitors.Or worse!For some reason,though it is perfectly acceptable to call this president every vile insult there is.They MUST be stopped .They must be handed a defeat so large in November,they will never ever be hear from again !!
It is up to us,free thinking Americans, to stop this insanity now! VOTE ! If you don't, you will regret it, til the day you die.That you can take to the bank !!!!!!

Scattered random thoughts
Football is back !
Baseball is still the best sport,though.
I love TCM for movies ,but I wish they wouldn't show the same ones so close together.
Reading a good book, is a little slice of heaven on earth.
This weekend I will remember,but also realize, it was a few that caused it ,and not a whole religion.
When is someone gonna sit down Sarah Plain and get her to actually say more than bumper sticker phrases? And when will Glen Beck go away?
I hope the President sticks to his guns on the new tax break idea.
I also would love to see more unity in both congress and the senate.
I wish all this foolishness going on ,Mosques ,Quran burnings,inane border talk,would just fade away ,so we can get to work on housing issues,unemployment,wars, ..the really important stuff!
Why is civil rights back in the news,again?
Why is the hatred of this country at an all time high?
Dogs are cool,cats are cats.
Why is the weather on five times,at least,during a 1/2 hour news show? It hasn't changed in those five minutes!
What is so hard about the concept of peace ,love, and happiness?
Why do people have to be so rude ,when they disagree with your point of view?
And again ,remember this weekend ,it wasn't a whole religion ,that caused the horror!

More thoughts on the Koran Burning
2010 Gainsville,Fl won't look much different than 1933 Berlin,Germany."pastor"Terry Jones is nothing more than a media whore going this to satisfy his ego and enrich his coffers . If he was truly a man of God,this wouldn't be happening.
As I journey through the FB, pages I see an overwhelming condemnation for him .I have been amazed at the different people that have condemned this.I have also been saddened by the small amount of people who support this . A minority,but a loud minority.I am hoping FB is indicative of the true spirit of America.The overwhelming support against this is ringing across the land !
I have posed the point that it is this "pastors" right to burn this as is my right to burn the flag.I wouldn't though ,because ,for me ,that would be morally wrong. This is also morally wrong,but that doesn't seem to matter to a person ,with no moral compass.
We are coming up on one of ,if not the ,worst day in this country's history,and I for one will not watch one second of this barbaric display put on in Fl.When it comes on the news I will switch channels .When the pundits that I watch comment on it ,I will switch channels .It isn't much .It won't change anything ,but it will be enough for me. My own protest,and my way of remembering 9/11 will not be spent helping out the media whore !

Burning the Koran
Well ,in honer of 9/11, a group of "Christians" are going to get together, in Gainsville, Fl. and burn the Koran . How nice of them . The proper way to promote brotherhood through out the world .
I ,for the life of me,can't understand this. These fine folks, are spitting on another's bible.I bet they make sure all the TV camera's are there. This is what this is ! This is some lunatic fringe "pastor" inciting intolerance.He is protected, by the laws, in this country to do it,but that sure as heck doesn't make it right!
It is being well documented that it is going to put our troops in harms way.It will also Americans in every part of the globe in harms way.
What will be next? ......Books that they don't like? ..To KillA Mockingbird? ..
Other religions they don't like? The Torah?What they deem ,that should be on TV or in the local movie house?
Nazi Germany started this way. Didn't that work out well?

Labor Day Weekend
I have never worked in a union shop. I have never had the need to work in a union shop.That is until I went to work for Walmart. I am not going to sit here and bash Walmart.It was a horrible working experience and for the moment that is all I will say about it. What I will say, is that it taught me how lucky I had been, in my other work stops, along the way.And how grateful I am,the the union was born.
I am from a fishing town ,and I started working at a young age.There were a ton of fish plants and almost all of them were non-union.The biggest places in town were union.By these guys being union it kept the rest of the places honest.We all got fair wages and went by the union rules.As a rule most places treated the help with dignity and fairness.I now realize, if there was no union in town ,things would have been different .
When I first went to Walmart,that was when I realized ,just how important the union was and is. Unfair labor practices are their middle name ! And union busting is something they excel at.They even showed us a film during orientation that was against the union. I stayed with them for a miserable two and 1/2 years .
In 2006 I moved to NC . It was here, that I have really seen, how not having a union around, is hell for the workers .I have seen supervisors fire employees for not liking them ,or not working fast enough,with out any previous warnings. I have seen the color of a persons skin ,decide what job they get . Or the gender of a person .I have seen supervisors yell at the top of their lungs at the help ,with out one shred of dignity for the person . And most of all ,I have seen an unlivable wage .
I am grateful ,for having grown up with the union in my town ,although I didn't have that gratefulness ,then .With out the union around ,I have seen the ugliness.
On this labor day weekend ,I am giving thanks for those hero's, who put their lives on the line and some actually died, so we can have a fair, safe workplace . Those are among, the true hero's and patriots of this country..

What exactly has Obama done wrong?
Besides the obvious reason ,why do so many people want to see Obama fail?Is it as plain as the nose on my face?Sadly I think it is .
I am on Face Book all the time .In my travels around the different pages I go to many right wing sites . The hatred there to our President is horrible . If it was a few people ,no big deal . But it is way too many people, so big F**king deal ! The White House page is probably the worst ,that I have seen . I am sure there are worse ones out there, but I am not that brave .The biggest rallying cry is to impeach him . I always ask for what? I have yet to get an answer .
I have some issues with Obama .This isn't a love note to him . He still has Gitmo open ,I think the Health Care Bill could have been better . I think he was a little to slow on the draw with BP and most of all I think ,Bush ,Cheney ,and the rest of those criminals should be prosecuted . I also wouldn't mind him coming out and telling the republicans to shut the F**k up and help out. But having said , that I sure as heck am glad he is my President !
George Bush took an economy that was in the positive and put it in the negative ,so far in the negative ,that our grand kids ,grand kids will be paying on.
9/11 happened on his watch . When told about the worst enemy disaster in this country's history he kept on reading to the kids . He then brought us into war with Iraq ,who had NOTHING to do with 9/11 ! And he lied about it ! We began torturing prisoners . We opened up Gitmo and with out due process , arrested any one who looked Arabic. Haliburtin was given free reign in Iraq,and proceeded to bill the USA for billions of dollars .Phones were tapped ...any phone! And then there was Katrina ! ...Heck of a job Brownie !
So again I ask the question ....Just what has Obama done, that deserves impeachment ?
We are in a sad state of affairs and it will only get worse if we as free thinking Americans don't do what ever we can to put a stop to it . For me that means shouting from the treetops when ever I see this anti-Obama stuff going on .....and most of all it means come November ........VOTE !!!!
