Remember When (Halloween Edition)

Image
Remember when Halloween movies were scary; when Werewolves and Vampires were arch enemies and very, very evil. It seems as though Werewolves and Vampires today have been made out to be some metro-sexual experience. It started with "Interview with a Vampire" where Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise turned blood sucking savages into some type of artsy, makeup wearing and emotional mess. I think it was better when you had Bram Stockers masterpiece turned film in 1992 - evil vampire kills people - that was it. Onto Werewolves and their cover of Teen Magazine failure in the "Twilight" series. Remember the Wolves in 'The Howling', 'An American Werewolf in London' and 'Wolf' - those were serious beasts; vicious frightening and not to be hugged, kissed, dated, longed for, etc.. Vampires and Werewolves have seen some recent films portray them in the original bad ass light: The Underworld series comes to mind. At least in those semi-recent films the beasties w...

No matter who wins the election, America has changed.

America has changed. Today both parties admitted that the race for the Presidency was razor thin and this means that the country is greatly divided. America has a problem, it has two very different types of thinkers and a common set of problems. Should Obama retain office he will find even stronger objection than he has seen in the past, this is because like most things, blood in the water draws attention. It is obvious now to America that the King is not beloved by all. If Romney wins he will undoubtedly face an absurd obstructionist Democratic regime hell bent on convincing America that Obama was right for the Country. In the end, little will change immediately for America though one must think a change of crowns at least warrants a reshuffling of the economic deck across the World. Whether that is beneficial or not will remain to be seen. This is a cross-roads for America, much like cross-roads in the past where two lines of thinking have come wholeheartedly against one another. On...

Pakistani teen shot for blogging.

Here is something I'd like to know, where were all these people before she was shot by the Taliban? Were they some how confused that the Taliban was medieval in their tendencies? Were they confused about fanatical Muslims? It is unbelievable to me that all the sudden this is an issue - and while I feel for this child - this world is pathetic and totally full of sheeple..... Sheep Unite

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action (AA), a legislative manipulation of statistical analysis since the 1960's is now under scrutiny in America. When AA was created, it was established to level a completely uneven field between whites and blacks in America - and it helped establish civil rights, which was an exceptionally good move by Government. However, today, AA has run its course and is now used to divide and discriminate whites vs blacks, and more so, used as a football for organizations such as NAACP which would be defunct if AA was gone - and that is a lot of money to walk away from. AA was essential and necessary for decades to make up for horrible discriminations of the past and to enforce equal opportunity for all Americans. Today however this has been bastardized from opportunity to success. Now Americans are told that everyone should receive the same results for unequal work. You see it initially in schools as children are manipulated statistically instead of looking towards communal fa...

Sick Cyclical China Syndrome.

Americans cry about a few things such as the cost of products and the pay in jobs, or lack of jobs all together. I hear people cry about the lack of manufacturing in America, however, these are the same people that want to buy a cheap 50" flat-panel TV from WalMart, or a cheap car for Japan. This is the cycle. We want to buy cheap and get paid high, much like the stock market - yet we rail against that. The problem ultimately occurred in the late 1980's and early 1990's - when programs like NAFTA and others encouraged manufacturing companies to move their development and support out of the United States via tax break and regulations demanding business give American workers certain salaries/benefits. Essentially, this is entirely Governments fault. Government carves the regulations that make American industry non-competitive such as some of the strictest environmental laws in the World and insane support of ridiculous labor agreements. It is this regulation and governmenta...

So tired of watching the US apologize.

I'm so tired of watching the American government pretend and apologize for a movie to a bunch of radical religious nut jobs in the desert. We need to stop pandering to these clowns. Why is it OK to rally against Christianity but not Muslim faith? Muslims have some serious soul searching to do if they really want to be depicted as "not" radical by default. It is my opinion that the Middle East needs to get a handle on the radical aspects of their general faith, it is only a matter of time before the so called "West" reacts more directly. There is a growing feeling in America that the constant bowing down to a religion is no longer to be tolerated. How long do you continue to send money to a country that disrespects everything you stand for? I wonder if the average Middle East citizen understands America at all? It seems not.

Time to leave the MIddle East behind.

America if you have learned nothing, know this the Middle East has nothing to offer America, nor the world. What we've seen since 2000 is that radical Islam is far to prevalent in those lands. It has cost America, and her allies, countless lives and funds and has returned nothing to the world. There is no reason for America to deal with the Middle East, none what so ever. It is high time that America simply disengage and begin building much stronger alliances with local countries. There is no purpose for American money or arms in the Middle East. We do not require their oil, we can do just fine without it. The region doesn't produce anything else. Instead of facing facts that Radical Islam simply hates life, we blame 'videos' or 'words' instead of recognizing that the individuals fly under a common flag, that of "Allah". For a long time we have tried to say that this is not a religious fight, but it very much is. For as long as we have had these non-s...

Target aid, NO AID.

It is high time the US stop pandering to Muslims and the Middle East. They have had more than enough time, and support, to get their world in order - they have decided not to. They have planned attacks on the very hand that provides them food. They are no longer in need of our support. I would be more than willing to pay $10/gallon for fuel (the only thing they provide to the world) if we received it only from Canada and Mexico. The Arab lands at this time in history offer the world little. The "west" has tried in vain to assist and provide a near 20th, not even 21st, century land for this group and they refuse to rally up against their oppressive regimes. Instead, they hide behind religion. Unlike the faith based destruction of old, this group refuses to grow up and become part of society. This group is offended at film, and pictures, yet has no regard for human life. Their time is over. No more aid, no more support, simply bombing from afar. No more shall America ebb and ...

Benghazi and the American Failure

Today we watched as an American Ambassador was murdered, the first since 1979, and his body beaten and dragged across the streets of a Country we supply weapons and money to. We watched today as an American President did nothing, but recognize the wrong and move on to Las Vegas, Nevada to petition for a second term as the Leader of the United States. This President had no US troops stationed at the Consulate with the Ambassador, even on the Anniversary of 9.11.2001. This President felt no need to strike out against the Libyan aggressor nor the Egyptian mobs; instead hiding behind political banter and commentary to his would be 'opponent'. For once in this Presidents career did he perhaps feel the shackles of despair that President Bush felt on 9.11.2001, the hopelessness while looking for response. Instead of meeting the aggressor head on, this President has apologized and the State Department has apologized via the US Embassy in Egypt to the poor people of those lands, the po...

No Easy Blog

I recently finished the "Mark Owen" book that details his experience as a SEAL from 1998-2012. This book is not a book strictly about Bin Laden, as those who haven't read it would lead you to believe, nor is it some uber-classified dictation of SEAL tactics. In fact, you'll learn more about special tactics in "Black Hawk Down" than you will in this book; unless of course you simply are oblivious to the Military. The book encompasses many experiences this SEAL has, both in mission and training. It is a very simple read and gives you a good first hand account of the day-to-day of an operator. The descriptions of operations and tactics that he describes can be easily found on the Internet with minimal research and the pain-staking way he avoids telling true details is impressive. At best this information, in context, is sensitive but not classified by any stretch. The part that I believe has put him in some 'luke warm' water with the Pentagon is two fo...

Made in God's image...

Man was made in God's image, but man confused the definition. God did not mean that your physicality was in his image, but your free-will. Your ability to create a life you want to lead; where you live, what you eat, who you keep as friends/enemies, what pets you have, and the type of life you lead. These are all decisions man makes that no other creature in the world possesses the capability to comprehend.

Seriously Democrats, are we that lost?

Democrats have prepared their platform for 2012 and it is headlined by "Abortion" and "Gay Rights" - really? Are those the two biggest topics in the minds of the majority of Americans right now? Social issues? I don't believe so. I think the biggest issue for Americans now are having a job, being secure, lowering taxes and improving the economy; not whether social issues are properly addressed. Don't get me wrong, there is a balance between prime-time issues such as the economy and quality of life issues however, they are not primary and our Nation is wrecked right now. Hopefully Democrats realize that the issues they've pushed with little success over the last 20 years are not the primary issues of today.

Evolution - a question. Free-Will a thought.

Evolution, the concept that all life can be traced to a common ancestor - one 'thing' that devolved into a trillion other things. It is the fundamental concept in the book "Origin of Life" and assumes that all living matter was created by other living matter. It does not answer one fundamental question to the concept, what was the first matter? What type of matter would spawn every known (and unknown) living organism? What always throws me is how it is so impossible to have faith in God, but so easy to have faith in well...space matter that creates all life. And another simple question to the folks that believe creationism is crazy and evolution is truth, if humans evolved from chimps, why are chimps still here? Please point to one of your other 'evolved' creatures who shares the planet with its immediate relative. It is a simple thought, if every life form on Earth is explained through science then Evolution has stopped. There are no other species switching ...

New Orleans - you did it again!

How is that possible, how is it conceivable that you really didn't leave when a Hurricane came? Seriously, watching these folks get 'rescued' is absurd. You knew this was coming, you knew what happens when you live below sea-level on the waterfront. Yet, you didn't go. I heard one guy say "we just waited to be rescued", what if nobody came? You'd most likely be crying blaming the Government for not being there. At what point do people start taking care of themselves?? Sheep.

Mr. Romney

Dear Mr. Romney, Please don't consider your Libertarian support anything but coincidental. You see as a great Man once said "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"; you're graced by replacing a failed President. It isn't that the majority of America will be behind you come November as much as it is that they can no longer stand 'Mr. Hope&Change'. It did help greatly that you hired a true leader in Paul Ryan to work with you, that at a minimum showed a solid ability to select leaders. Hopefully you do very well in assigning your cabinet. Remember that the reason Obama failed is that he focused on party goals more than the Country's needs. The Country is in a hard place right now, we need a clear leader that understands how to move forward - not how to push the blame. We need someone who understands the difference between a 'need' and a 'want' or a 'right' and a 'lust'. It is critically important that we fix the tax cod...

Parents are awesome.

With all the non-sense out there on YouTube, Twitter and the like, it was very cool to see this video posted: http://www.dump.com/parentsrap/ . Finally, someone making something useful, fun and enjoyable without being..well..dumb.

Dems, social problems are nothing in light of current issues.

As everyone could have predicted in light of complete failure in regards to anything relatively important to a nation on a national level - insert Economy, Jobs, War, Health, etc. - the Dems are trying to make 'abortion' an issue for the GOP this year. Abortion, really, that is the highest concerns for the average American today? I seriously doubt you could even falsify a poll to show that. The current administration put us in two more armed conflicts as a nation, destroyed our economy and gave us a near insurmountable debt, but we should be worried about when a woman can choose to terminate a pregnancy? Generally the Dems would have immediately gone to Gay rights but in light of the Chick-fil-a debacle, you know where Libs and Dems felt they could pressure a company with protest to drop its moral fiber at an executive level, and the fact that Obama has been a flip-flop king in regards to Gays, have taken that topic off the table. The fact of the matter here is the US has real...

Ha - Twitter Followers, What a Joke.

According to a research group that tracks what "false" Twitter followers exist, over 70% of both Obama and Kim Kardashian's followers on Twitter are fake. That's right kids, much like your friends on Facebook, they don't know these people. It turns out the vast majority of followers for both the Pres and Celebrities are in fact web bots. These are built to pad results and show influence where it doesn't exist, exactly like voter fraud. This is what happens when we assume popularity equates to some level of immortality. Oops

Lance Armstrong....what should we take away?

First off, any person in the world, America especially is guilty of this, that puts a person on the pedestal of a hero for physical capability is completely misguided. Physical talent is nothing more than a capitalization on a God given capability, and while admirable, it is certainly not the end-all-be-all quality of a hero. Let's look at the definition of "hero", according to Webster it is: a : a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability b : an illustrious warrior c : a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities d : one who shows great courage" So according to that definition you could certainly say he was admired for his achievements, but noble qualities, let's look closely. While this is a man who showed great talent, it is now shadowed by the possibility the achievement was garnered by illegal means, if we look at character and nobility, well, there is much to be desired. People seem to forget ...

So the EPA taketh away, Obama gives back.

The EPA has for long hammered farmers by requiring corn be used in Ethanol which in turn is required in fuel, thanks to the EPA neo-Nazis. As a result, gas prices increase exponentially and corn product and reserves are depleted. Now as corn goes up in value and farmers are forced to provide corn for not only food, fuel and feed, while faced with drought, are further subsidized by the Government. Obama has once again OK'd his socialistic behavior and forced the US tax payer to flip a bill for more Government evolvement. 2012 elections can't get here soon enough.
