Listen to WAR!

I've been meaning to do this for quite sometime but haven't had much of a chance to do it. Just because we lost, doesn't mean the Revolution is over, it was just one battle.

Louisianians are a tenacious bunch

One thing about Louisiana, the people here know how to have a good time, but something tells me that liberals will claim that our troops are cold and heartless and have some innate need to 'torture'.

Dear John, From a PA Marine

I wish I could say that I wrote this letter, but it was a bigger man than I that's currently serving in Iraq.--JSB

John Kerry said, "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well, and if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

So I wrote him a letter:

I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently on my second tour in Iraq, a tour I volunteered for. I speak Arabic and Spanish and I plan to tackle Persian Farsi soon. I have a Bachelors and an Associates Degree and between deployments I am pursuing an M.B.A. In college I was a member of several academic honor societies, including the Golden Key Honor Society. I am not unique among the enlisted troops. Many of my enlisted colleagues include lawyers, teachers, mechanics, engineers, musicians and artists just to name a few. You say that your comments were directed towards the President and not us. If we were stupid Senator Kerry, we might have believed you.

I am not a victim of President Bush. I proudly serve him because he is my Commander and Chief. If it was you who was President, I would serve you just as faithfully. I serve America, Senator Kerry, and I am also providing a service to the good people of Iraq.

I have not terrorized them in the middle of the night, raped them or murdered them as you have accused me of before. I am doing my part to help them rebuild. My role is a simple one, but important. You see, Senator Kerry, like it or not, we came here and removed a tyrant (who terrorized Iraqis in the middle of the night, and raped and murdered them). And we have a responsibility to see to it that another one doesn't take his place. The people of Iraq are recovering from an abusive relationship with a terrible government and it's going to take some time to help them recover from that. We can't treat this conflict like a microwave dinner and throw a temper tantrum because we feel like it's taking too long.

Senator Kerry, you don't have to agree with this war. You don't have to say nice things about those of us who choose to make sacrifices for the rights of every American rather than sit back and simply feel entitled to it. But please, Senator Kerry, if you're going to call me a stupid murdering rapist, stick by what you say. Don't tell me that I misunderstood or that you would never insult a veteran because you are one too. Having been there and done that does not give you a free pass to insult me.

My suggestion for you, Senator Kerry, is to remember that your speeches are recorded, and broadcast to us simpletons over here. You may want to write down what you want to say before you say it; maybe have somebody look at it before you say it and tell you what others might hear. Remember that we can't read your mind; if there are any misinterpretations in what you say, it's because you didn't communicate clearly.

Good luck to you, Senator Kerry; if nothing else it's always entertaining to watch you try and climb out of the holes that you constantly dig for yourself.

Sincerely,
Somebody who is watching his daughter grow up in photographs so that you can have the right to say whatever you want about him.


Important Message for Democrats!

Due to the stealing of Elections in the past by Republicans and GEORGE W. BUSH (evil supreme dictator of the world) there have been rule changes. Republicans are allowed to vote once and only once and MUST GO TO THE POLLS TO VOTE. Democrats will no longer have to leave the comfort of their homes. Instead, all they need to do is sit in front of their computer and cast at http://vote.com.

Once you cast your first vote, all you need to do then is sit back and wait for the Democrats to "GIVE a FREE link to YOU!" You will do what Democrats do best, take from others without having to pay a penny!!! You get a FREE link! You can vote as many times as you like so vote early and often. This however will mean that you can't go to the polls and vote since you will only be allowed to vote at one location.

If you choose to go outside and vote, you will be contributing to global warming, unless of course you walk, which is actually like WORK ing out, and we all know work just isn't the Democrat way. Plus, the only free thing you'll get is a sticker that says you voted. You'll actually have to sign your name, which sounds like more work (like filling out a job application) and might even get ink on your fingertip, which will mean you will probably have to wash your hands early and waste water, which in turn will lead to Global Warming.

Plus, what if you some across an evil smoker? Then you are putting your life at risk by inhaling his second hand smoke. Or what if you get hungry and the only place close is a McDonald's? You can turn obese! What if you get hit by another car because the person who was driving actually was talking on their cell phone, or worse---TEXTING?

And we already know that drunk drivers kill people with their cars, but what happens if a drunk driver hits you with his car, and you have to go to the hospital? We all know Doctors are Republicans and that means he'll keep you in the hospital all week long trying to save your life.

So Democrats, your option is simple, either go to the polls and vote once, or sit at home, vote on your computer, and get revenge on those evil Republicans by voting several times. The choice is clear, stay home and vote several times!!!

A significant cut in my GASOLINE BILL!!!!

Normally I am a political blogger and never talk about new products, however, I've been trying this product for about a week now and the results have absolutely stunned me. I don't keep track of my Miles Per Gallon, though I should since I drive so much that my car is my office. What's more, I have to pay for my own gas. If anybody has reason to complain about high gas prices, it's me.

So you can imagine my reaction when I was approached by a friend of mine to try a product that would "increase my MPG". Of course I would, I spend too much on gas prices as it is. I definitely spend more on gas than the average Joe. I needed a solution. That solution is a pill. A capsule.

Go figure.

So my friend tells me to drop one capsule in my fuel tank, then fill it up with gas. It would make my engine run better, lower my car emissions, and, most importantly, increase my MPG which equals more money for me. Of course I was very, very skeptical, but if it worked well enough, I'll gain in my pocketbook. Save me money on my gasoline bill, that's all I cared about.

She also told me to put two capsules the first time, then one capsule each time I fill up. I will see results on the first tank, better results on my second tank, and even better results on my third tank. That was true, but what she did not tell me was that my fourth tank would be even better.

I suppose it took me an extra tank because I go through gas so quick. I don't know why, but the results are there. I am saving money on this.

The product that I am talking about is called MPG-CAPS and it can be purchased here. You can by one pack of 10 capsules for $19.95 which would be ten tank fulls (9 if it's your first time trying it).

You can purchase more than one pack, but I would suggest buying one and trying it out first. If you see a significant increase in your Miles Per Gallon, then purchase more. If not? Well, with rising gas prices, your going to eventually put that in your tank.

You can find more information about the product by clicking here

Life, or Something Like That.

I haven't really had much to say over the past couple of months, and quite frankly politics hasn't even been on my mind much. Money, success, women, what makes a man a man, what it's all about, and why do I try? These are the things that have crossed my mind lately. Politics? Not so much, but I do find it interesting that no matter what I do, how little attention I pay to the national scene, I still seem to be a guy that naturally ends up in political discussions.

Tonight, I really want to just share some thoughts. Some are recent conclusions, most have been with me for a while, and all have been in my head over the last couple of months. So here I go.

Boys worry about their happiness, men do what they must.

I believe that statement sums up exactly what I mean but just in case there's a liberal Democrat out there who just doesn't get it, please allow me to elaborate. Boys think of terms of theirself first. How can I get something free, who can I get to do my work for me. 'So what if she gets pregnant, she can get an abortion'. Boys want to be happy today, everyday, and want to do so without consequences.

Men don't worry about their happiness. Men go out and do the things they must so that the others around them are happy. They raise their children and know that punishment is a tool to teach. They tell you things you need to hear, not what you want to hear. They sacrifice today knowing there will be plenty of happiness in the end.

There's a clear absence of men in the United States. It seems to me that we often glorify the insignificant. We celebrate the lives of people who, in the end, did nothing to make the world a better place. We've made Jerry Springer and the trash of society that he calls guest a staple in American television. We have sissymen singing, crackskull thugs playing football, and basketball players who won't fight another big basketball player, yet would run up into the stands to fight the wimpiest looking guy out there.

Where is the celebration of the Marine who, along with his fellow soldiers, will stand for his nation while bullets fly over his head? It seems to me that the only Marine a liberal will support is a dead Marine.

The Coming Election?

While I am talking about men, I guess the question of the upcoming elections is where I part ways with my fellow conservatives. I know very few of us on the conservative side of the aisle actually think we have a shot at keeping control of the house. I am among those that believe we will win in November, and I think it's a good thing that we see it that way. In a midterm election where voter turnout is lower, the GOTV (get out the vote) is ever more important. This helps Republicans, not Democrats. People that pay attention to politics, understand that Democrats are definitely not the way to reduce government.

Not that the Republicans have been a party of less government since their arrival in 1994, but Republicans have been more permissive of human freedoms than the Democrats have been. It's my bet that the people that are motivated to vote will vote majority Republican.

And While We Are On That Subject:

It must really suck to be a Democrat. There's a certain pride in Conservativism, even when our party leaders stray from conservative values. We conservatives understand our beliefs, we understand less government, less taxes.

But a typical Democrat, on the other hand, only understands that they are a Democrat and that they hate George Bush. How can one take pride in knowing that? Why I think it really must suck is because they have to keep changing their moral value system in order to keep up with their political beliefs. Conservatives have their moral values as the core tenet of their beliefs, which in turn stabilizes their political beliefs. Conservatives are in a class by theirselves, an upper class that isn't based on money.

Fear, Face It.

Fear is what separates the men from the boys. It's fear that keeps people from succeeding in life. Fear stops people from doing things they must do. Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's doing in spite of fear. Nothing good happens to those who let fear stop them.

Life is Fair

Don't worry about getting even with people. I learned that revenge is a sign of weakness. Those that seek to get even with people are scared of people, of pain, of suffering, which in turn shows that person is also afraid of taking chances, of sacrifice for the betterment of their life. More importantly, it says the person is afraid of trusting others. A person who can't trust others cannot be trusted. How one sees others is exactly how others should see that person.

Don't be so anxious to see revenge on those that do wrong. Life is fair and people who don't take personal responsibility will eventually suffer the consequences. Always take responsibility, even when you think you are not at fault. Life will reward you.

Women and Money Have Something in Common

Niether can make you happy, but both can make you miserable. How much money you earn doesn't matter if you don't spend wisely. You can be poor and happy, but if your ridden with debt, you will be miserable. Same thing with women. No woman can make you happy, but the wrong one will make you miserable.

The Biggest Threat to our Nation: Selfishness

I know there's nothing new under the sun and selfish people have always existed, but the more we give in to our selfish desires, the more we excuse it for other people. Why should we die in war, when we can die a few precious years later while living under the thumb of a totalitarian government? Why fight for the betterment of society, when I can demand more for myself at your expense?

The thought that somebody else owes you just because you exist is a problem. We face a future where majority stops thinking about others and just think about theirselves. That's a world that I hope I'm not around to see, but believe that I will.

One Last Thought

and I'll call it a night. Democrats care about the poor, but only when it's politically convenient. When Democrats talk about the helping the poor, what they really are telling you is what they believe will best benefit them, not the people they claim to help. A fine example of this was provided by Hugo Chavez, who kept gas prices lower out of concern for the poor. As gas prices dropped to 2 bucks a gallon, this man who cared about how much the poor people paid for gas, suddenly didn't care anymore. Hugo was one of the first to OPEC members to demand that oil supply be cut in order to prevent gas prices from dropping any further. Do you still think he cares about the poor? Niether do I.

911 words for 9-11

While this is a much older post, from May of 2004, it still remains to be one of my favorite post that I have ever written. When I sat down at my computer and wrote it, I was thinking about 9-11 and what we were faced with in the coming election. We knew at that time that the Presidential candidates were going to be John Kerry and President George Bush. At that time, I still hadn't quite decided to vote for the President but was not at all impressed with Kerry. I just wrote my thoughts down. When I finished with it, I ran the spell check and word count and too my amazement, the total was 911 words. How appropriate I thought to myself and decided to leave it as is. So for this fifth anniversary of 9-11, I thought I would go ahead and repost it...as it originally appeared.

It seems every so often that someone comes along and inspires us. In July of 1941, one of the great speeches of the 20th century had Winston Church saying “You do your worst - and we will do our best", taking England from certain defeat into victory.

After we were attacked on December 7, 1941, President Roosevelt had said, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” . The country was strong and determined to defeat the three countries that wrought war on us.

Ronald Reagan had one of those moments while standing in front of the Berlin wall in June 1987. When Ronald Reagan uttered “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”, he forever sealed his fate as a memorable president.

We remember greatness by great things happening. England survived the Blitzkrieg, Roosevelt led us into Normandy, and that wall that symbolized cruelty and denial of human rights eventually came down. Great things came as a result of great men who stood their ground in moments that would make most men cower to the desires of those around them.

Omaha beach

After September 11 our nation fell into one of those moments. Our nation had reached a point that it could have fell into fear, we could have easily been afraid of our own neighbors. We could have let our prejudices get in the way of our rational.

It happened to me, while I was managing a store, one of my employees, Gilbert, was up front working the register, when I came around the corner, four men were standing in line. One of the men looked at me and after noticing my skin tone yelled, “I can’t believe all these (expletive) camel jockeys in here!” and stormed out.

I was completely unaware of what a camel jockey was; I tried to stop the man because I thought that we had done something wrong. The other three men just looked at me as if too let me know not to worry about it. After we had taken care of the customers I asked Gilbert what we did to make that guy so mad.

He then told me he called us a camel jockey and I asked him what a camel jockey was. He explained to which I responded, “Well, what’s he going to do for an encore? Go into the ghetto and call everybody there a bunch of honkies?”

Though I don’t deny there are more examples than that, I do believe that was the exception and not the rule. Yes, there was anti-Arabic sentiment, but it could have been much worse. President Bush stood up and told the nation not to blame Arabic people. To quote President Bush, "We should not hold one who is a Muslim responsible for an act of terror."

Bush led the country. Bush had a big moment, but the Presidents big moment came a little later while visiting that memorable site in New York City. As President Bush stood on that rubble and began to address the crowd, a man interrupted President Bush and yelled, “I can’t hear you”

The President looked and said; “I can hear you. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”

President Bush’s response got me out of my chair screaming. That’s what I wanted to hear I wanted to hear that we weren’t going to allow this to happen anymore. I wanted to know that we weren’t going to be pushed over. I wanted to know that our President would stand up for us. The rest of the country shared my sentiments.

Our President had one of those moments and he talked the talk and led us into action that would alter the way the world was. The Taliban was the first to drop, then Saddam Hussein. The President was showing a leadership that had been missing since 1989. We walked into a great moment and though the war is not quite over, our country is safer. The rest of the world knows, if we are attacked, we will fight back. The rest of the world knows, not all of us will tolerate terrorism.

Our future is becoming clearer as we approach the election. We have a guy who spends half of his campaign questioning his own patriotism and the other half changing his mind. One guy would rather trust the sovereignty of the United States in the hands of the United Nations. One man, does not even trust his own judgement over that of the United Nations.

While on the other side we have President Bush. The Presidents campaign has taken on a tone that goes after his opponent. Though I found them humorous and appropriate, I believe that the President needs to focus more on his leadership. The President ought to take the nation by the reigns and lead us into the election. The campaign ought to tell us more about the man who told us that those terrorists would hear all of us soon. The Bush campaign should show the President as the leader he was immediately after 9-11. Once the President does that, the other guy, the one who doesn’t even know what country he is in, will be sunk in his bid for the presidency.

Is that a bomb in your pants or are you just...

♂♀♂ Warning: Adult Orientated Humor ♀♂♀

happy to see me her?

Talk about having your day ruined. You packed your bags with all the necessary items. Toothbrush, comb, mirror, condoms, plan B, and of course the trusty penis pump. What do you mean you don't own one? Of course you do, if you're a male.

He told the Chicago Sun-Times after the hearing that security officials did not give him a chance to explain the misunderstanding, that he would never use the word "bomb" while going through a security checkpoint, and does not consider a penis pump an unusual object to own.

"It's normal," he said. "Half of America they use it."

See, half of America use one, a penis pump. According to my math, about half the population wouldn't actually need one since you would have to have the right equipment, so that means the entire other half has one. Gosh, since I don't own one, I sure feel lonely.

Okay, so you're wondering what this is about. Poor Madin Azad Amin couldn't bring himself to tell TSA that he was carrying a "penis pump" with him in front of his mother.

CHICAGO - Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn't want her to know he'd packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey.

So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.

Madin Azad Amin, 29, of Skokie, was stopped Aug. 16 at O'Hare International Airport after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.

Couldn't he try to say something to his momma first? I don't know, maybe a "Hey momma, remember that time you told me about the motion in the ocean?". Could he have maybe said, "Momma, did you know half of America uses sexual aids?". Better yet, do what Democrats do, blame the innocent person, like a "Hey momma, did you know I had a birth defect?", or "Couldn't you eat more beef when you were pregnant with me?"

I haven't checked yet but I am sure there are some Democrats out there that will complain that the Bush administration is acting like Hitler over this. I can here them now, "What's this world coming too when you can't even take your trusty penis pump on a plane?"

GM/LC - Together for WAR

Listen Live to Wide Awakes Radio

Great news! Tomorrow night at 10 Eastern/9 in the evening, I get to go on Mr. Smooth Jazz's radio show. I'm talking about GM's Corner. Originally it was planned for September 7th, but due to a cancellation, I got bumped up.

Wide Awakes Radio, I believe is the brain child of Kender over at Kender's Musings and there are a lot of long time bloggers that's been around since, well before this blog.

I guess I'll just make this post about some of the people that do have radio shows with WAR. I am going to stick with some of the bloggers that stood out to me years ago and do a show there. Don't feel bad if I exclude any bloggers, it's just that they stood out then, they stand out now.

Basil's blog always stood out to me, it was clean, crisp, and who can resist a little baby? Though I am quite positive that Basil is a little older than the picture indicates, fer a young'n, the writing is pretty good. Basil's blog is bound to keep growing in readership.

CAO's Blog is a blog that is long overdue to be on my blogroll and if it weren't for those meddling kids she would have been. Actually, the reason she remains off my list is for the same reason LaShawn Barber isn't there - I don't know where to place them on my blogroll. I know where LaShawn is at now, but when I do update my blogroll, she will be there. Both are most excellent blogs, but CAO's stands largely because of her site design.

Finally we come to Passionate America whose blog set an early impression in my mind as to what a blog was to be like. Though I had already started blogging before I came across Wild Bill's weblog, he managed to inspired me to write more often and to stick to it.

But let me take this moment to thank all of you bloggers out there. Recently I was interviewed through email about blogging, as I am sure some of you were as well. I recently received the guy's final thesis and barely had time to skim through it. There was one thing that caught my eye, that the blogging community on both sides of the aisle felt that the press wasn't living up to expectations. We all have an agenda with our blogs, and mine is simply to express my views, but who would have thought the blogging community would have become as powerful and influential as it has become? From the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to today's late breaking news, you'll find it in the blogosphere as it happens. If you haven't started a blog, whether you're an aspiring writer or merely a guy who likes to write his thoughts down, get one and enjoy it.

My Thoughts and Brain Bullets

I often push my own limitations, which in the end makes me a stronger and better person. At the same time, pushing yourself will mean failure. It means you will fall down. There cannot be success without failure. Or more aptly put, There can be no great story without facing a great failure and overcoming it. Brain Bullet: "The proof of gold is fire."- Benjamin Franklin

I guess this is just a bit o' rambling but these are some thoughts that are in my head that I just want to get out. We all want to be important, or we think we are going to be important, but when the opportunity for achieving our own importance is presented to us, we often run. I have come to the conclusion that the most important thing a person can do to make the world a better place, is to raise their own children correctly. We want have a lasting effect on society, but tell me one thing that you can do that will have a greater impact, over a longer period of time, then one who sets in motion, through their downline, great people in a great family? Brain Bullet: "The family is the most basic unit of government. As the first community to which a person is attached and the first authority under which a person learns to live, the family establishes society's most basic values." - Charles Caleb Colton

We often forget what's important in life, I know I do. It's the people we surround ourselves with. It's how we treat other people, not how they treat us. It's what you give, including to yourself, not what others can give to you. Brain Bullet: "This above all, to thine own self be true."- William Shakespeare

I know this doesn't sound like politics, but it is, just on a different level. It's talking about he character of people, about what life is really about, politics is just an important part of it. Your political beliefs reflect who you are. I enjoy talking politics with people because it's the quickest way I found to find everything I want to know about a person's character. It's not always Republican or Democrat, there are some Republicans that I don't like while there are other Democrats that I do like, but I find out their character through their political beliefs.

It's really simple, I believe that it's much better to die living than it is to live your life waiting to die. While it may sound good to say that, living it is much greater task. The way many people see it, they can control their date of death. They worry about that what's dangerous, what can kill them. They worry about second hand smoke, global warming, wars, car accidents, guns, staircases, helmuts, and just about anything else that can kill you. It's sad really, they aren't living their life, their waiting for death. Brain Bullet: "He who is willing to sacrifice Liberty in order to preserve security, deserve niether."- Benjamin Franklin

But really what is there to fear about death? It's inevitable, but more importantly, when it happens only one of two things is possible. Either there is no God, or there is one. If the prior is true, then wouldn't you agree that when death comes, you won't know a thing? It's over, you won't know the difference. In the latter, if God does exist then the only thing you have to fear is hell, and if your right with God, that won't matter either.

It's not death I fear, but not living my life freely. I don't fear failure, I fear never having tried. I don't fear others, but I fear what will be if I don't speak up. I fear being dependent on somebody else, so I do everything I can to control my life. I fear that I miss opportunity. I fear not knowing who I am and what I can be. I fear not living my life. Brain Bullet: A Ship in the port is safe, but that's not what ships are made for.
