Returneth of thy conscience.

DB Reese 

It’s that time of the month again for me …. err ummm …. what I meant to say was - it appears time again for me to discuss a couple of things for the learning impaired out there in cyberland. I think that I have been a rather good boy thus far in my budding career as a novice social commentator but damn, enoughs enough already.

Oh boy DB is getting ready to lose his mind.

I can appreciate a good idea, good intentions, or even a new way of doing something. What I can not and will not be able to understand is the constant barrage of idiots who believe that we live in a world full of little rainbows and unicorns.

I have been tooling around (surfing the net if you prefer) reading news articles and blogs of all kinds, from the conservative extremist to the liberal extremist and everyone else in between. The prevailing attitudes are something like this;

Liberals- when will America learn to be respectful of the world, we are one community, we need to learn to love, and hug, and be tolerant of others points of view because we don’t know everything and aren’t nearly as smart or helpful as we pretend to be, and if we did that the world would love us.

Conservatives- Shut up liberals, it’s not all that bad, and the stuff that is bad you caused anyway, and we’re just trying to clean up your freakin mess. If you hadn’t sold America out for your science fair project(the quest for utopia) we wouldn’t be in such a bad shape economically, and screw the world - we really don’t care if they are mad at us or not.

I think that pretty much covers my perception of how the media (including bloggers) portrays America. It has gotten under my skin.

So let me get this off my chest. You can all go suck an egg. I’m going to spank conservatives first (just to be fair). We ARE sucking right now, economically. The fed is going to cause inflation at a time when we need anything but. The markets have been infiltrated by a bunch of over emotional sissy’s. We are going to choose as our nominee a man who voted more times for the democrats than he did for the republicans. All the while we have lost our gonads to stand up to a bunch of hateful yet sniveling truth misrepresenting twits from across the isle- yes it’s not looking very good. Get over it all ready, Rush that includes you. You know that perception is what runs this country, from the elections to the markets. And, right now perception is pretty bad.

Liberals, liberals, liberals you guys(and gals)make me want to chop down a tree, burn it while cooking a spotted owl after driving in my gas guzzling SUV through the Anwar wildlife preserve. Are you people smoking crack, sitting naked in the bathtub with peanut butter spread all over yourselves. WAKE UP! First, the world is not a lovey dovey place. There are real boogie men out there who want to slit your little kids throat. I wish like all hell that we could live in your dream world where all we had to do was talk civily to these bad people, but it just doesn’t work like that. Second, except some damn responsibility for the crap you have done to this country. The give away programs, although thoughtful on some level, have hijacked and bankrupted not only our economy but our common decency as well. You cry like hurt children whenever you think that the “world” doesn’t like us, but you don’t give a rats hairy ass what Americans think about it or you and what you’re doing to it.

Both sides are seen as corrupt and evil gold diggers. Neither side has the perception of honesty about them, and what is most disappointing is that neither side cares that they are perceived as such.

I’m going to keep preaching on this site until my computer blows up or until someone shoots me, until that happens - I am your conscience speaking, you are not doing the right things for this country, you do not serve the country’s best interest, go fling yoursleves off of the closest bridge.

There is one simple truth that I think all people can get their hands around- something created all of this. Put aside the checkbooks, the gold watches, the fancy houses and $4,000 suits- roll up some sleeves and how about getting back to work. Just for the record (dems) that doesn’t mean trying to give away more money. In case you haven’t heard we’re running out this year thanks to you.

Hey I’m alive and well and will be doing just fine for the foreseeable future. I’m in combat mode now so if the truth hurts you maybe you ought to take a long look at yourself.

Look for my next article coming up, politics of war, where I will disect some crazy stuff on the war front. Until then Ladies (and gents) remember peace monkeys and dark places

One more step closer to freedom.

DB Reese

I’m leaving for Afghanistan. My departure date is around the 3rd of April 2008, my return date is around June 2009.

For those of you who are new to the Socially unAcceptable Straight Talk blog there should be enough material here for you to read until I can get more posted starting again around the 7th or 8th. I encourage you to read with an open and logical mind.

For those of you who have been regulars (and you know who you are) your support of this site has been and will continue to be most sincerely appreciated.

I do not intend on making a switch, as it were, to speaking only about war and all things related. I am and will continue to be a socio-political commentator and writer. When stories come up from time to time that relate to the attitudes and happenings abroad I will however be more than eager to share those. I am looking forward to my little get away, like Huck Finn it should be yet another great adventure.

SO…. please do not think this a plea for support or sympathy, I neither require nor request it (which should be the real soldiers creed). Yes the time away from the creature comforts we take for granted (like fast food and hot showers) will take some getting used to again, but hey it’s what guys like me signed up to do after all- and really I have been eating to much Taco Bell anyway.

Looking forward to my next conversation with you on all things Societal and “correct” and until then……PEACE, may it never be seen as monkeys clawing their way out of your ass!

What we perceive to be- is.

DB Reese

The article I want to write and the article you are about to read are two very different articles.

The first is a shotgun blast at everything from faith to taxes to fake journalism in the media perceived victories and defeats, to what’s going on in China, North Korea, Iran, and even here. But you don’t want to read that article. You don’t want to be brought further down in the gutter than what some already have you. To do so would mean that your beliefs in the way things are were just flat out wrong. That my beliefs in the way things are were flat out wrong too. No instead we want hope, we want anger, we want the lies told to us that make our world make sense.

I am going to touch on faith regardless of what I just said. I am going to touch on taxes too, as well as fake journalism and how it relates to the perceived chaos in the perfect little make sense worlds of ours.

April 1st, also called April Fools Day or All Fools Day used to mark what used to be the beginning of the new year. What will our “New Year” bring us.

Al Gore is at it again, this time spending 300 million dollars to promote not Global Warming but get the new talking points memo- “climate change”. Global warming was disproved this year. Seems it was based on the earth gaining a degree over the last 100 years. Well in the last 12 months the earth has lost that very same degree thus getting colder and making up for the previous sky rocketing heat.

Global Warming caught on as an epic status in the worlds latest in new aged religion gaining itself millions of followers. Not to be detoured in his new fame as head minister of natures own changes, the Gore group has changed its verbiage and now we have uncontrolled climate change. Go figure- man can’t control the weather. It took faith to believe in the “science”, if we can cal it that, of global warming. Just as it takes faith to believe in the “Big Bang” or “Intelligent design”. There is one truth to it all and that is something created all of this- the rest is conjuncture made real by which ever faith you may have.

Tax season is close to coming to a screeching halt- have you paid your government yet? It seems the more we pay the more elected officials want to spend. Whether it is spending for a war, for welfare, for socialism I mean socialized medicine, for financing their own return to power in the form of campaigns, or buying friends throughout the world with “aid” money. We spend and we spend and we spend, and somewhere in there we forget to ask(or more appropriately they forget) where the hell the money comes from.

In a time where everyone wants something for nothing is it any surprise that the economy is heading straight for a recession? Not some little get my rebate check and spend it recession where everything will be just fine either. A recession that will more than likely lead to a depression. Hell there already is a run on banks and other lending institutions.

And now what, the same congress who has let it get to this point has a plan. Oh yes they do, they are going to bail out home owners too. Don’t pay your mortgages it’s okay, no need ot be responsible adults. They know you aren’t any way so in steps big sister to tell you, show  you, how and when to spend your money. At a small cost to you of say a five to ten percent raise in your taxes (god forbid Obama or Hillary get elected it will be more like 10 to 15 percent on the already national average of 33%). Go to votesmart.org look up your politicians and see who is wasting your money, then vote that bastard out of office- it’s the only way to start taking back your paycheck from these parasites. 

China had to relight the Olympic torch, that should be an omen for things to come in this “New Year”. Tibet is a precursor of things to come. People want their freedom, Taiwan is next- if they were smart they would start the proclamations now and see just how far the Chinese are willing to go in their quest for either stomping out freedom or joining the the rest of the civilized world. And, at the same time North Korea has taking the opportunity to lash out at the South Koreans, saying they will burn them to ash for turning their backs on Korea unification and for being puppets to the US. Hey Kim, I think South Korea has a stake in you not having a nuclear freaking warhead you flaming idiot.

Not to be out done, or lose face in any of the happenings around the world Iran is claiming a huge victory for brokering a peace deal between Al Sadr’s militiamen and the Iraq government. But what is the real story there? Fighting taking place in the southern city of Basra and on the edges of the Green Zone and Sadr City has depleted many of his militiamen. Yes it has shown the Iraqi military for what it really is- a 3rd world military. But to claim a victory? Let’s be real- it’s all about perception, and as long as the media shows the perception of a crumbling Iraq then they feel themselves vindicated for the years of false journalism. Sadr is alive today because the US military has kept him alive, period.

So what then has this article been about? What is the moral or point of the five minutes you just wasted? Perception breeds belief, belief is faith. I see the two wars being fought for the hearts and minds, not of the people of Iraq or Afghanistan, but for the people of the Divided States of America. In the past 30 or so years we have been conditioned to hate and fear and have very little self pride, not to mention no national pride. We must make life fair for everyone, even though fairness in life is no guarantee. Walking on eggshells and ready to explode for any perceived injustice. The injustice is the prevailing attitude of self, and greed.

But yet I have faith. I still believe in a country so great we are sought after by all who dare to dream of a better life.

Sexism and slavery the winning combination for the Muslim Church

DB Reese

“For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano.

 17.4 % of you are Catholics, 19.2% are Muslim. Have no fear though 33% of the world believes in Jesus Christ- so you still got that going for you.

Why the change, the increase and decrease? Christians aren’t having as much sex as they used to. You’ve all became a bunch of tight wads. While Muslims on the other hand have as many as they possibly can (many hands make light work).

That’s not the only reason for the increase to the Muslim faith, obviously there are others. The Vatican points to conversion in western civilizations. What is this? Conversion? Here? In my back yard? I wont have this! This will not stand!

Relax Chauchie, it is happening and it will continue to happen as long as sexism, oppression, and weak minded people let it happen. Who are these people? Well…. we can start with the obvious “The Nation of Islam” founded in 1930 but more of a socio-political with it’s roots more in Christianity than Islam- still they are counted. Then there are those who do not follow the Nation or their beliefs, but are more fundamentally aligned with the more tradition Muslim belief. And, hell why not.

The role of the Muslim woman is to stay at home and raise the family, be responsible for the house and all that goes on within it. Of course who doesn’t like the nifty little head scarves, worn to hide themselves from men not in the family. Casting off their outward appearance and only showing their true self to their husband- “the woman wears her Muslim garments with pride”. The husban by the way has no responsibility in the home but to support it financially and make sure that the family members adhere to the strict rules set forth by the prophet in the Quran.

It’s great, if I’m a guy in Islam then all I have to do is work, come home and stone or beat the women in the house for even wanting to go shopping. Thus saving me more money, and my house stays clean- what a bargain. But dont get it wrong, the woman can work outside the house if her husband lets her, and any money that she makes is hers to keep since she is under no obligation to support the family(thats the mans duty).

There is way more to be said about all of this, and with religion in general. I however am not the writer who could hold your attention for the pages and pages it would take for me to explain it. Let’s just call it what it is. For me, it is a way to keep subservient the women and promotes laziness in the man. Any religion that has to enforce mandatory prayer times seems to me to be a religion with low or no self esteem. Controlling its followers with an iron fist (where have we seen that before?).

In short, if you’re a guy who is tired of the sass that the little misses throws at you and you want to put her in her place, then I say convert. Do it today! Don’t delay! (should be a motto) And if you’re a woman who is tired of the daily grind of getting the kids off to school, cooking cleaning and working- and just want to do one of those things, convert and quit your job. Don’t delay! Do it today!

Hey a little disclaimer, I do not participate in any religion- so all you pissed off Muslims who think I’m dogging on your religion because I’m a Christian- forget about it. I’m dogging your religion because it goes against all things logical to me. It is not tolerant like the Quran says to be, it is not loving like the Quran says to be. Maybe that’s why there are so many converts- “…pick and choose what you want to follow in the Quran it’s okay.”

Education. What teachers don’t know can hurt your kids.

DB Reese

I know that without any shadow of a doubt this topic is one that gets under many peoples skin. Those who’s chosen profession it is to teach, train, and mentor should have the support of the country behind them. Theirs is a daunting task, to help develop the minds of the tomorrows leaders- truly an awesome responsibility.

There are many things that influence education, chief among them is socio-economics. There are direct correlation between nutrition and learning, welfare and learning, status among peers and learning- the list goes on. The biggest reform to education should come in the form of increasing the socio-economic levels of every student. That increased level though should not be in the form of handouts or welfare.

We hear the chants for education reform and wonder why such a problem even exists in the US. Global scores are in and the US is no where near the top. With a country so diverse in not only ethnicity but socio-economic status is it inconceivable that the education levels reflect that truism?

Rutherford B. Hayes said that to give equal opportunity to education was the surest way to give equal opportunity to property. What he was trying to say was that on an equal playing field we can achieve as much or as little as we set our sites on, that our education frees us from the dictates of others.  

 We decided as a new nation that we were not going to be illiterate or uneducated. If we were going to govern ourselves then we needed to be capable of that act. But as a third world country ourselves (once) education was still only given to those who could afford to pay for it. But, coming around to our senses in the 1840’s we started the public school system. Now I’m not going to get into a long history lesson here but if you want then you can check out this PBS site;

http://www.pbs.org/now/society/edhistory.html

How have we gotten to the point where education reform is needed. The fault has to be laid at the feet of someone right? That’s how we do it in America, assign responsibility. Is it under funded? Consensus is yes it is- okay great problem solved it’s the Republicans fault. Let’s throw more money at the school system and move on to the next topic. Slow down cowpoke. Are the Republican politicians the ones in a school teaching your kid? Let’s not be so quick to lay blame just yet.

Well there is the overcrowding, and the bad influential kids, the trouble makers, the special needs. All of these effect the school, and consequently the learning that goes on at that school.So I got it, let’s build more schools and separate the children according to ability and socio-status. What would that solve? Teach them segregation is okay? Not the answer either.

Okay then smartass, how do we fix our educational system?

I hear about low salaries and teachers needing pay raises, I couldn’t agree more. The lowest GPA graduates coming out of universities today are educators. I wish I had made that up but I didn’t. What does that say. The studiers, the “smart” people are going into fields that pay considerably more. Increasing teacher salaries would definitely attract a higher caliber of educator. I am NOT saying that teachers all over America are dumb. Hell I’m an Army guy, doesn’t pay that much but I do it because it is something that I enjoy and feel obligated to do. There are those teachers out there who, like me, teach because they feel a sense of civic responsibility, and just really enjoy their what they are doing- it’s not a job and the kids aren’t just a paycheck.

On the other hand, there are those teachers who approach it as a source of income, if the kids aren’t going to participate then they aren’t going to teach. I’ve had both kinds. Those who enjoyed their job were some of the greatest teachers or professors I have ever had. Those who didn’t were some of the worst, and the classroom test scores validate that claim.

“No child left behind stranded my child at the bus stop!”

What the President tried to accomplish was to throw down the gauntlet so to speak. Hey here is your incentive to produce as a teacher. Do well and have it reflect on test scores and receive federal funds. Do poorly as reflected on test scores and lose federal funding. That is the very elementary breakdown of the very complex act that put the responsibility of education on the educators and not the federal government.

People threw a hissy fit. Teachers unions up in arms. A union that by the way has well outlived its original purpose or intent. They just couldn’t believe that their ability to teach was in question. Hey knuckleheads pick up the report, read it, then take some responsibility. Kids getting passing grades for not doing their work. Kids getting passing grades to play sports. Kids getting passing grades who aren’t even going to school. Is the government coming into the classroom, picking up your grade book and putting a score that is different than yours next to any names? NO.

If it is such a terrible act then how come there isn’t that much focus on education reform right now in the primaries? How come the candidates aren’t jumping up or down about fixing education over fighting about who has more delegates and who should just quit. We have to hear about racism, which education helps to eliminate.

So how do we fix it? Its been asked for years. You have all the “smart” people working on it, or against it so you would think that a solution was just around the corner. I think performance ratings should not be used to determine federal funding but rather employment. Tenure should not be a guarantee. And while we’re at it, let’s just go ahead and make some kind of minimum wage for teachers, of course the better ones can always receive more- but that’s the wonderful thing, it’s a merit system. God forbid that you are equally rewarded or punished according to your actions.

Are teachers the only ones at fault? NO. Parents who drop their children off so that a school can raise them are part of the problem. Children with no discipline or respect are part of the problem. Socially acceptable behavior that has gone down hill as advertised by Hollywood is part of the problem. Socialistic ideals on educating the masses with emphasis on social agenda and social morals is part of the problem. Not rewarding success but failure is definitely part of the problem.

So what it all comes down to (in a very elementary article) is responsibility. I’ll give you some more money to teach, but if you can’t be bothered with the results of your teaching then you need to go be a librarian or something.

“You can all go to hell…I’m going to Texas”

DB Reese

Ah the everlasting words of a great American and hero to millions. The sentiments of the Great Davy Crockett ring more true today than they ever did in 1836.

I have heard the pundits, I have heard the so-called experts, what I haven’t heard is the voice of the “normal joe” and that voice says to hell with you all, I’m going (back) to Texas.

DB you seem a little distraught. What gives man?

Hey you know what, I’m glad that you asked. What is my deal? The beef as it were. I have heard the pundits and I am sick from the toxins they spew. Of course this is about the happenings, the goings on in the wonderful Mid East. Those of you who have had more than your fair share of Mid East conflict then I suggest that you just leave me your comments of agreement and wander on to another site.

I am sick to death about how America isn’t the perennial power house that it once claimed to be. I have had it up to my eye balls with those who would compare our endeavours to that of the Russians with regards to Afghanistan. I’m on my death bed with those who say that Iraq is more than another Vietnam- it is the nail in the coffin of the once great civilization known the world over as AMERICA.

This is what I know- as a military man myself it would not be prudent nor dare I say beneficial to the country for me, myself, and I to try and write a bill that would potentially effect millions of people. It is common sense, I am neither a politician(which doesn’t mean much educationally) or a lawyer (which means less when you consider the clientele). But, what I am is a normal- yes I know some say above normal, human being with at least some amount of common sense. That being said; How freaking much common sense does it take to let the people who’s job it is to fight, fight? I mean would you go to the mechanic with a car problem and tell him how to fix the car? The military is the same way. Think of us as a mechanic, move back away from the car, as a matter of fact just leave the shop-we’ll call you when the job is done.

I hear about how even the Great Alexander had problems in the region known as Afghanistan, not to mention the mighty Russians. How the US forces there made a mistake about not getting in and getting out. How the US is inept for staying in a region such as Iraq without having a plan to deal with not only the insurgents but also neighboring Iran.

You know what? Screw all the wanna be comfy couch side line generals. All of them. From congressional members to cable news generals. How hard is it to prosecute a conflict when you have the following;

Political Correctness police up your ass saying that you must treat whatever prisoners you hold better than the criminals that you have in your own country, or for that matter, better than the people in your own country.

You must make sure that before you move any of your forces around that it is approved by a bunch of suits sitting behind a desk. Hey just remember that MacArthur wanted to drive not only the Russians out of Germany after WWII but also the Chinese out of Korea- he was fired. Can’t have logical thinking in government can we?

You must fix anything that you blow up, AND anything else that needs fixing whether you blew it up or not.

You must let the media dictate to you how you must act so that you are perceived as less than you really are. While they rail on you back home with outlandish claims of ineptitude.

You are forced to drag out the battle (war) for sake of appearing sympathetic to those you are fighting who may appear weaker than you. God forbid we actually are stronger than anyone, can’t have an opposing force with low self esteem.

I am going on a tirade now so let me some this up. Are you on the battlefield? This question is not only for the congress or the politicians, but for the general populous as well. If not, how about you do me the fine courtesy of shutting the hell up. You don’t know what it is like, you don’t know what is going on……But DB we saw on the news…so we do know whats going on. Oh give me a freaking break! You saw on the news what people wanted you to see on the news. Tell me has it been reported on the news that in Iraq Iraqi’s control over 87% of everything and rising everyday! Did you hear that on the news? No? Then shut up cause you know jack!

Did you know that all of this crap would be over if the left, and yes I’m talking about all you crazy communist Democrats, would have just let the military do its damn job. Oh but no… can’t have that can we? Someone always has to look like they are relevant. Can you guess whats going through my mind right now? DEMOCRATS YOU ARE NOT RELEVANT TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY. DEMOCRATS YOU WEAKEN A COUNTRY WITH YOUR STUPID IDEALS ON HOW YOU THINK A WAR SHOULD BE FOUGHT!!! THIS IS NOT PRETEND CLASSROOM SCENARIO, THIS IS REAL,  PEOPLES LIVES ARE IN THE BALANCE, AND YOU ARE KILLING THEM.

Iraq and Afghanistan would both be over and done with had we (the US) not had to worry about perception, both in the US and the world. Get in, topple who ever, and get the hell out. Done, period, put a fork in it and serve it up. But no- we had to do this, and do that….can’t go out and fight on Saturday because it is their religious day. Can’t shoot into a mosque even though they are shooting from it because it will seem as though we are in a holy war with Muslims. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS. You have seen the “This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs.” Well this is you country’s military strong, mighty, and more than capable. This is your country’s military on Democratism- weak, inept, and world laughing stock. Is the world laughing because we are weak? No they are laughing because the politicians who think they know more than a general about how to fight a war, keep trying to put their 3 cents in. Demanding that a war be fought this way or that. Screw the politicians, why not they’re screwing you.

You really want to know what is wrong with this country? If you are a Democrat then I suggest that you take a long hard look in the freaking mirror- you’re the problem…… and your little dog too(the liberal media). How many people will you try to kill tomorrow? 

Signed one pissed off Combat Medic- oh yeah, a Texan at that- to hell with you!

The Media plays its part in deciding the election outcome.

DB Reese

An international incident occurred just three days ago in the Suez Canal. What do you know about it, and why? Well quite frankly you don’t know anything about it. The government isn’t keeping it hush hush though, so why the “no story”? Great question and one that should be asked from all the major media outlets in the US.

What happened? A Navy ship (actually a ship under contract to the navy) entered the Suez Canal just after dark when it was approached by several smaller boats. Now obviously this would seem like no big deal but you have to consider the mindset on the boat. Back in 2000 in Yemen, a small boat approached the USS Cole and detinated killing 17 US Sailors, so now sailors get a little nervous when they are approached while at sea by anything other than another US Ship.

Consistant with the way the US operates, an arabic interpreter hailed the boats with a bullhorn and told them to back away. When this didn’t work, warning flares were launched from the ship, again signaling them to back away. When this failed as well, warning shots were fired 20 to 30 yards in front of the nearest boat. Hey that got their attention. All rounds were seen going into the water in front of the smaller vessel missing it entirely(as per the way the US does business on te sea).

The smaller boat then executed an about face and left the scene and eventually docked in Egypt. One man was said to be dead and three more wounded. The Captian of the smaller boat claims that they were fired on, but admits no wrong doing in trying to approach the US ship.

So I don’t get the beef there DB, why do you think that this is big news that we should be hearing?

It’s big news when anyone dies at the hands of the US, as noted from Afghanistan to Iraq, especially when the US is said to be at fault- as per the Captian of the smaller boat. In any case it should have made headlines when a US ship had to fire warning shots at another boat in an attempt to protect themselves.

Why if the the US ship had to protect itself did we not hear about it. Was it because it should the true environmentals of the Middle East mentality. The news is complicit in barraging us with sympathetic news of Middle Easterners rights and beliefs. SHowing more times than not that the US is a bunch of bullies around the world.

Why did they not spread the headlines across the nation if it were the US ship’s fault? It would be another win for the likes of the Democrats who wish us out of the region. Could it be that headlining this news would mean that the media would have to investigate this story forcing them to believe the Defense Departments version(which they can’t stand)?

Highlighting the tension in the Middle East reminds people that there is volatility in the world. When the US people feel threatened the trend is to vote for the “daddy” candidate. The strong protecting your family candidate. When the US people feel safe and secure the trend is to vote for the “mommy” candidate. The weaker candidate on security, but the stronger candidate when it comes to things that “take care of you”.

The media has already decided that they want to put a Democrat into office this November, their love affair with the Clintons and now the Obamas is aired nightly, all the while McCain is just slipping quietly around the country gaining more and more support. By reporting actual news worthy events like what just happened in the Suez Canal they would put the US people’s minds back on the “daddy” candidate and not on the “mommy”.

Everything happens for a reason when we are dealing with election politics. What else don’t you know?

La Revolución? Not with today’s pansy Society.

DB Reese

There are many things that people are passionate about. Many causes, beliefs, desires, and miscarriages of justice that people would like to see righted in our country. There are always the talks of the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back.

There is nothing wrong with you liberals wanting your country to do the very best job it can for its citizens. It is a noble desire, but when that desire leads to the eventual collapse of your country then I would say it is past time to reevaluate those desires.

You have heard me preach on this Blog about the personal responsibility needed to ensure that you and your families are taken care of. Not because the country can’t take care of them but rather that the country shouldn’t have to.

With all the liberal programs we have in America as far as handing out “free money” to whom ever thinks that they need it, is it any wonder why we are in a financial crunch that we find ourselves today. It is only going to get worse too as many Americans slip the veil of responsibility for that of entitlements.

DB what are you talking about man?

This year our political correctness, our greed and our selfish irresponsible behavior (as a Society) have finally done us in. Medicare and Social Security for the first time since their inception will pay out more than it receives. By the year 2017 it will no longer be able to pay out anything, it will be completely bankrupt. If we start today to try and fix the problem this is what we would have to do; increase payroll taxes for mediocre care by about 150%- so if you are currently paying $100 per month, you will need to start paying $250 TODAY! Go ahead and break out the checkbook and send me the money I’ll hold on to it for you. Same thing goes for Social Security only its a mere 60% increase to what you already pay in.

Tightening up the belt doesn’t seem to work when the people holding the purse only wear suspenders. Earmarks, pork barrell spending, entitlement give aways, world grocery store, world pharmacy, world police, word world world…… not to mention, bail outs for banks, corporations and ………. YOU. Oh yes don’t think that this is the fault of “big business”. No no no, you’re not getting off that easy. Making them a scapegoat only make me an enabler for you to continue on your irresponsible behavior that has lead us to this point.

But DB, that’s 2017- not now. And why not get it while you can? I mean if there giving it away shouldn’t we all be in line?

We throw dollar amounts around like it is nothing. How many of you have actually lost your ability to comprehend the amount it cost for just Mediocre Care and Social Welfare Security? I heard a great way to help you understand how much money your ill gotten ways have cost America. 1 million dollars- a dollar a second is 12 days. 1 billion dollars- a dollar a second is 32 years. 1 trillion dollars- a dollar a second is 32,000 years. Do I need to repeat it for the learning impaired?

Okay since you didn’t understand any of that, after all it was just numbers and the government can always protect us and give us what we want….. blah blah blah. Here it is in practical terms. We ended the cold war with Russia because Russia spent all their money trying to out spend the US, right? Do you remember any of that? We forced their economy into collapse, into ruin.

After we had taken out the Russians (domestically) what were the reactions of the people of the old Soviet Union? It was one of desperation. They were standing in lines for bread, lines for meat, lines for potatoes, not going to mention lines for gas, because they didn’t have freaking cars!!!!!

You have made that surreal site of Russia into a reality here in the US. Congrats! Now all we have to do is wait for 9 more years. There is no way of stopping Mediocre Care and Social Welfare Security from collapsing the economy. It is impossible to stop that train wreck! or is it? Only by eliminating some of your precious give away programs including Mediocre care AND Social Welfare Security can the US stave off a total collapse of the economy.

Do you have the guts to take back your country? Do you have what it will take to save our country? Can you lead la revolucion? Can you make the non politically correct decision to say “Enough! Get a job! Support your family! Save for your own retirement! I’m not going to do it anymore!”

Not without having serious fights from all the people standing in line waiting for their chance at the government tit.

The Supreme Court at odds with Pesident, backing States Rights-finally!

DB Reese

In a year when it seems everywhere you look in the news, if the President is in it then there is someone else in it that is in opposition to him. The latest organization to do so is a very unlikely group of characters thought to be some of the nations biggest constitutional scholars of the time- The Supreme Court.

Jose Ernesto Medellin, a Mexican citizen, is sitting on death row in a Texas penitentiary found guilty of raping and murdering two teenage girls, 14 and 16, as a gang member in Houston in 1995.

Hey I am good with that. Let that be known from the start. An eye for an eye, a life for a life. That’s me, that’s my belief.

“So what’s the beef DB?”

Breakin’ it down in a way that even I can understand it. The President has said that the state of Texas should NOT execute this man due to the fact that his “rights” were violated and that they should reopen the case based on that to see if it would have changed the outcome of the trial. Now listen- The President is no soft on crime man and in fact he sent 152 killers to meet their makers while the Governor of Texas.

It’s this simple- the 1963 Vienna Convention Treaty which we signed, provides that people arrested abroad should have access to their home country’s consular officials. Does this mean that if you screw up in a country you’re not from then you get a get out of jail free card? NO, it means that if you screw up in a country you’re not from that you will be given the chance to contact someone from your government to say “hey I screwed up, how can I get some help? what is the law here?” etc etc etc. This didn’t happen with this guy, who also happened to be an illegal immigrant.

Bush is trying to do the right thing  by saying that the state of Texas not nuke this guy quite yet. Highlighting the case and bringing to the forefront the policies that have in the past let murders walk free. The Miranda laws state that a person has the right to stay silent, have a lawyer bla bla, but it doesn’t state that you have a right to talk to your government- it should. Other countries around the world have denied US citizens of this very right as well and by not living up to the treaty we signed it gives those countries more encouragement to continue their practices.

The Supreme Court however in the most aggressive position taken from it’s learned halls in recent memory said that the US essentially does not have to listen to the “World Court” when it comes to matters involving States Rights, and the US is under no obligation to do so, which is absolutely true.

The Supreme Court is taking this opportunity to interject some common sense back into American policies that have in recent years given way to international laws over that of US laws. Good for them. Good for us. Screw the international laws, this is America we have our own brand of justice. And, in Texas if you kill someone you are going to face the death penalty.

 So the President while trying to provide a diplomatic voice to the world is actually strengthening US sovereignty from moving it away from international laws that have tried to dictate US policies for some time. It’s a good and I’m sure thought out maneuver, or just a happy coincident. 

Yahoo did a three paragraph story, it pretty much is some of the worst writing on the net;

This is a great comprehensive break down of the courts decision and the law;

I think we have turned some cornor here, or I hope we have. Has the Supreme Court strengthened America from the would be rule of the “world court”? Have we finally reached a point where international laws do not govern Americans? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope that the socialist in this country have taken notice- we’re taking our country back you sons of bitches.

The call goes forth from this place and time…

DB Reese

You can say what you want to say about election year politics but there is no other time that the “normal joe” can actually make a difference. Think about it. Are you the guy or gal sitting in the committee meeting that decides what candidate to offer up as a lamb? Does your voice get heard about the type of candidate that you wish to have? No of course not. We the people, the normal everyday, get up and go to work people, are left out of any of those decisions. So who’s deciding for us which candidates will be offered up. Special interest groups. Lawyer lobbies, insurance lobbies, tobacco lobbies, gun lobbies, old people lobbies, green people lobbies, the lobby lobbies………it’s enough to really make you want to pull someones hair out.

Ah, but it’s time for the election isn’t it? It’s time to put on the show. Time to get out and pander to the crowds, kiss a few babies, grease a few pockets. All for the almighty dollar and power. We expect our politicians to “do the right thing”, why? Aren’t they just like you and me? Are they divine in some way. Is it the second coming of John  F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, or even Ronald Wilson Reagan? No, they are people just like you and me. They got picked on in school, they went through awkward times in their adolescence, pimples and changing voices.

“DB get to your point already!”

My point is simply this, we see what we want to see more times than we see what is actually there. It IS show time for the candidates. And you know perspective in this country and how fickle it is. If you’re not a good performer, entertainer, if you can’t quite read the script that someone puts in front of you- it’s over. You’re through. Is it right? No. Is it the best way to elect an official, not to mention THE official. No. So then why do we allow it to happen?

Let’s ponder that for a sec………………………………………..okay, done? What did you come up with? To steal some train of thought; a person is a bright, intelligent, logical, and reasonable thing. But, people (as a whole, a group, a unit, a mob) are very irrational, neurotic, stupid, and naive’. It only takes one spooked head of cattle to start a stampede. Baby calve looks up at the mama cow “Mama. Why are we running?” mama cow looks at the baby calve and says “Cause he is.” Be careful that you aren’t running to or away from you guy or girl because someone else is. Let’s actually sit back and make a prudent decision about the next President of the United States based solely on the good of the nation.

Is it time that we have a woman president? Maybe it is past time, but does that mean that this woman is the best for the job now. Is it time that we have an African America black guy for President? Maybe it is past time, but does that mean he gets the job because we should have done it sooner? Merit used to mean something in this country. Did you get a promotion? Why? Because you busted your ass for it. You worked hard, you paid your dues, you learned and you gained experience and you gained trust of those who promoted you. This is the same thing. It should not be a popularity contest.

Both Clinton and Obama are excellent public speakers. Both have been practicing for a very long time to get up and act. They are performing exactly how we thought they would, which is well. Who will the Democrat nominee be? Obama. Why? Because he’s black. Why should that matter?  It shouldn’t. Obama himself made it an issue when he gave his “typical white person” speech. He became the candidate of race. He sold it to the public hook, line, and sinker and now all he has to do is reel them in.

Will Obama be the next President of the United States? No he won’t. Why? Is it because he’s black? It is going to start off that way yes. But once people get it into their heads that this is the Democrat guy, and they start to listen to what he is saying. Once they hear not only the words but the ideas, the plans, it won’t be “Let’s not elect a black man.” it will be “We better not elect this guy.”

Your homework assignment- ask a friend or a relative that is planning on, or supporting Obama to name one plan, or idea that he has for the country.
