Hello to my readers, hope all is well with you. You have once again returned to donate five minutes of your time to reading my thoughts, as spastic as they may be. I enjoy writing these posts, but have a hard time finding the time that it requires. It has been quite a while, so long that I actually had a difficult time remembering how to log in to my account to write this.
Lets get right to it. In looking at the calendar, I cant help but to notice a spooky day is rapidly approaching. A day that some people celebrate, some people condemn. A day that a lot of us look deep within ourselves to admit and confront the things that really scare us. Some of us will gather around our TVs in dark living rooms, some will attend parties that are crowded with all sorts of dressed up freaks. I am of course talking about election day in America. Those of you that know me, know that I am passionate about politics. The truth be known is that I don't so much care about politics as I care about this country. I believe in this country and the people in it. I know that we do a lot of fighting with each other, but when it matters the most, we can come together and achieve great things. It is so important that we all get out and vote in this election. You can go down and vote today if you wish, everyday until actual election day. This is the most important thing you can do as an American to prove your patriotism. I was moved by the story about 93 year old WWII veteran Frank Tanabe that was terminally ill but wanted to make sure he got to vote. His daughter acquired an absentee ballot and sat with him to fill it out. Mr Tanabe was a Japanese American that joined the service from an internment camp during WWII. he, like many other Japanese American citizens, were placed in detention during the war for fear of spying. He wanted to serve his country, to prove his loyalty, so he enlisted and spent his time interrogating Japanese soldiers that were captured. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his efforts. He registered to vote from his death bed, barely able to move. Frank Tanabe died yesterday, but he left his mark. So whats your excuse for not voting?
The great thing about the day after election day, is the fact that the media can quit working so hard to get their candidate elected. I have become so much more aware of the media's role in the presidential election this year. To tell you the truth, its sickening. ON BOTH SIDES. I cant believe these people can call themselves journalists and promote political agendas as much as they do. reporters are not reporting, they are creating. When they cant find a patsy to interview to push their views, they interview each other....appalling! This unprecedented 24 hour access to media and news is such a double edged sword..Kinda like Superman on a 24 hour drinking binge.
Another inspiring story is out of Dallas. At a local homeless shelter, a man pulls up, whacked out on PCP, going crazy and assaults a woman and others standing outside. A lone police officer arrives and engages the suspect and quickly is over his head. Striking blows with his baton are completely ineffective. As the injured officers retreats to regroup, the crazed dopehead charges the officer only to be intercepted by a homeless man that grabs the man and stops him and body slams him on the ground just long enough for back up to arrive and get control. The officer was injured and media headlines report that "Homeless Man Saves Officer" which may be true, but what he truly did was save the offenders life. It was about to get real for that dope head. Props to the man that jumped in to help, for doing the right thing. Support your police people, they are just one of you!
Ok, here comes the slanted political opinion part that some of you may choose to skip over. I am sick and tired of the Liberal Media and the democratic left hiding, repeat HIDING underneath the word racism. The best thing that could be done to help this country shed its past is to elect a black president. The worst thing that this country could do to shed is past reputation is to elect a president just because he is black. I think that everyone was so hurried to prove "we are better than that" that we put the wrong man in office. Everytime I ask an Obama supporter why he should be elected, they all say the same thing...Because Romney is just a liar. huh? Every once and a while, someone will say "Well, he got Bin Laden". Really? I am not even going to validate that response. What has he done? This is his first job ever! how is he supposed to take care of industry and business if he has never even been employed?? He wants the government to control everything, it has worked so well the past four years. Donald Trump has offered 5 million dollars to the charity of Obama's choice if he will simply provide his college and passport applications and the White House said "no way"! This is the transparent president. Why would you care? What is there to hide? I would produce that stuff in a heartbeat, not just for the money, but because I stood on the national platform and asked to be a representative of the people of this country. I pray for the best for our country, we all need to be more involved. I have so much more I want to talk about in the political world, but there is just no way right now. I will save it for later.
A couple of other notable things to watch....Watch the weather! The ultimate perfect storm may be about to form along the east coast, one that "could" be much larger than the last perfect storm in which they made a movie. The fastest stretch of road in the United States opened between Austin and San Antonio Texas with a posted speed limit of 85 for 41 miles. Lets all remember that when these elections are over, we will all still have to live with each other, so try to be respectful of other people and their beliefs. Protect yourselves and America by reading and guarding the Constitution of this country.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by, and as usual I will say that I intend on trying to write more often. I hope people will comment back to me on my facebook page. Until next time...GO HOGS!
